When he arrived in the west of the camp, it was indeed Emperor Chongzhen who wanted to invite Xu Changqing to meet him.

The person who sent the order was the fat eunuch of purple robe that day, but the attitude of the fat eunuch at this time was completely different from before, so he wanted to kneel down and kiss Xu Changqing's boots.

Although Xu Changqing was smiling, he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Summoning is definitely different from taking the initiative to visit.

Especially Emperor Chongzhen's personality is not much better than the sky in June, and no one knows when he will be imaginative again.

Fortunately, with this strong first victory at this time, the attitude of this fat eunuch can also show that Xu Changqing is not a false one.

"Cruff."

As the majestic gate of Guangqumen was opened, the fat eunuch hurriedly said, "Brother, the emperor knows that you are busy with military affairs. All the families have arranged their way to come. Let's go straight to the city."

As he said that, there were more than a dozen good horses that were taken out of the city.

"this……"

Xu Changqing looked at the fat eunuch: "Dadfather, this is a bit bad, right? After all, this is the capital, how can you run wildly?"

The fat eunuch hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother, this is the time and that's the time. Now it's time for war, and military affairs are the priority. Boru, please don't dare to waste your time."

Xu Changqing thought for a while, but did not refuse again, and turned his back on his horse.

Soon, Li Qilang also rushed over with two or three hundred cavalry. The three sides adjusted their formation slightly, and then rode their horses and rushed into the capital city.

"Brother, I'm greeting you."

"Mr. I wish you good health and good health, and you will never be able to live."

"Brother, you must guard our capital city..."

"Brother..."

On the way, many people received news and had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw Xu Changqing's war horses coming quickly, they bowed and many even knelt down.

Xu Changqing quickly slowed down and bowed to everyone, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet.

Even if you have to resist the malicious intentions and even conspiracies of many big rats, looking at the simple people in front of you, the sincere eyes that seemed to be worshiping gods, what are these malicious intentions and pressures?

In my memory, Xu Changqing clearly remembered the consequences of the capital city.

After the refugee army occupied the capital, although it did not cause much trouble to the people, the order in the capital had collapsed at that time, prices soared, and the people were in poverty.

What's even worse is the poison of a culture!

Many people who were originally down-to-earth and willing to work hard also wanted to "eat and drink" and did not want to engage in tired births any longer.

But the refugee army is still good, and the people can still survive if they die.

When the Tartar men entered the city, they were completely robbed by the naked Ming.

All the Han people in the inner city were expelled, and all the real estate, shops, and various fixed assets were all divided up by the Tartar men.

Not to mention ordinary people, even many wealthy and gentry were displaced and died in a foreign land in the end.

Although there are still differences in the numbers of people who died after the collapse of the capital, the most conservative estimate is that this number will not be less than 500,000.

It was not until more than ten or twenty years later, when everything stabilized in the Xiaomazi era, that the capital gradually recovered.

Let alone other disasters caused by the Tartars later.

The bitter fruit of defeat and the evil deeds of the Tartars are simply unspeakable!

At this time, if there is a chance, Xu Chang

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Qingdu will do his best to protect the capital city. Even if it is not for the court, it will also be for the people of the world and for the roots of the nation!

It is definitely much faster to drive a horse than 11th route.

Soon, Xu Changqing and his group came outside Dong'anmen.

The palace city definitely cannot ride a horse, but the fat eunuch still opened a green channel and could take a few shortcuts, which took Xu Changqing less than a quarter of an hour to arrive at the Hall of Heart.

"My name, Zhongyi Bo, Xu Changqing, general of Shandong Left Association, kowtow to my emperor, long live my emperor..."

When he saw Emperor Chongzhen again, Xu Changqing still saluted in a regular manner and his attitude was even more humble than before.

Emperor Chongzhen did not dare to delay any further this time, so he hurriedly came forward with a smile, let Xu Changqing calm down, and then gave him a seat again.

The king and his ministers exchanged a few simple greetings. Emperor Chongzhen looked at a huge map of the capital not far away and said cautiously: "Brother Zhongyi, I have carefully read the battle report you sent this morning. Yesterday's first battle, was the casualties of the Model Army, too, were they very large..."

This question is a bit naive, but looking at Emperor Chongzhen's cautious appearance, Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and explained carefully: "Emperor, the scale of nearly two thousand people is still very large, almost as good as a complete Thousand General Team under the command of the Shangchen. Moreover, most of the men who died here need to be rigorously trained for a long time..."

Emperor Chongzhen was rarely so cautious and modest. Xu Changqing also carefully explained many things on the battlefield to him, so that he could understand the true meaning of these numbers, rather than just a string of cold numbers.

After talking for more than ten minutes, it was like giving a question to primary school students. Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen really understood completely, Xu Changqing was finished.

Emperor Chongzhen had fallen into deep silence.

Even though he has been the emperor for sixteen years, it was the first time that he had heard these things so systematically and so regularly, which also made him understand that the current situation of defeating the thieves and soldiers is not as simple as he thought.

Xu Changqing was a little dry-mouthed, but the emperor fell into deep thought, so Xu Changqing didn't have much to say, so he could only endure it first.

As the saying goes, details determine success or failure.

Emperor Chongzhen has come to this day and the Ming Dynasty has come to this day. Even though there are many external reasons, there are really too many reasons for his own.

Not to mention anything else, just emotional intelligence, he, as the emperor, is really unqualified.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen finally came back to his senses, but he still didn't think of pouring a glass of water for Xu Changqing. He looked at the map and looked at Xu Changqing's eyes: "Xu Qing, then, in the current situation, the main force of the thieves has arrived at the capital one after another. I, Ming Dynasty, how to defeat the thieves' million-dollar offensive?"

Xu Changqing had long thought about this and bowed: "Emperor, before entering the city, I have been carefully observing the arrangements of the bandits. The bandits are obviously in a defensive position at this time, only siege and not rush to attack. If I, the Ming Dynasty, have some opportunities, but they will inevitably pay a huge price. My suggestion is to hold on for the time being and wait for the bandits to take the initiative to attack..."

Just like coaxing Tang Tong, Xu Changqing explained to Emperor Chongzhen more carefully the differences between the Ming Dynasty and the refugee army at this time.

It may not be necessary to delay the New Year, the twelfth lunar month, or even November, and the refugee army will definitely not be able to bear it first.

Of course, this premise is that the Ming army must suppress the tentative attack of the refugee army.

"this……"

Emperor Chongzhen fell into deep thought again.

He invited Xu Changqing to come today, on the one hand, to hear Xu Changqing's views and understanding of the general trend, and on the other hand, to "Why can you allow others to snore?" Emperor Chongzhen wanted Xu Changqing to solve the problem as soon as possible.

But after listening to Xu Changqing's analysis, he also understood that it was almost impossible to fight quickly.

This made him feel as uncomfortable as if he was bitten by millions of ants.

How could he have thought that the bloodline of his dignified emperor and the great ancestors would be forced into this situation by Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin?

Fortunately, Xu Changqing is still there at this time.

Emperor Chongzhen really didn't dare to think about it, if he was

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I was impulsive and really killed Xu Changqing. What situation should be like now?

"Xu Qing, thank you for your hard work. Follow your thoughts. However, Xu Qing, you must know that there are not many food and grass reserves in Beijing now. If the thieves cannot hold on, we can't hold on either. If possible, we should seize the opportunity as soon as possible and end the thieves' disaster..."

...

Emperor Chongzhen actually wanted to have a good chat with Xu Changqing for a while, but at this time the thieves had arrived gradually. He was afraid that the thieves would do something, so he had to control the time when talking to Xu Changqing.

This time, I only chatted with Xu Changqing for a quarter of an hour, but then stopped delaying it and personally sent Xu Changqing outside the door.

Outside the palace covered in silver, looking at the increasingly mottled silver threads on Emperor Chongzhen's temples, Xu Changqing sighed slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Is Emperor Chongzhen a good emperor?

There may be ten thousand answers for ten thousand people.

Moreover, this is basically a false proposition.

It can be said that he is a good person, but he obviously has nothing to do with the good emperor...

If it were before Master Wanli, he would definitely be considered a good emperor. After all, many of his measures were good in their original intentions. Even if they were sent to the local area, there would be a mistake. However, according to the national strength of the Ming Dynasty at that time, the imperial court's control over the overall situation would always have the opportunity to adjust.

If Master Wanli was in this era, he would definitely not be able to refine alchemy and seek Taoism. With careful planning, he might not have had the opportunity to be with the Qing Dynasty.

What a pity!

Reality is reality, it happens, there will never be an if!

After walking out of the gate of the Yangxin Palace, Xu Changqing no longer thought about it.

People are the most complex things in this world. It is useless to think too much. Don’t forget your original aspiration, face problems, solve problems, and take responsibility, that is enough.

But not long after Xu Changqing walked out, just as he was about to turn around, a slightly tender female voice suddenly came from behind: "Bon Zhongyi, Bo Zhongyi, please wait!"

"Ai?"
