Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Page 131

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiji hurriedly led the soldiers towards the city wall where the bell sounded.

As soon as they reached the city wall, they saw the defenders on the top of the city in chaos.

"Where's Wang Yiyuan? Where are the others?" Zhang Zhiji looked at the panicked defenders and sternly cursed.

"Go back to the lord, Mr. Wang Qian seems to have gone home."

A general stood up and looked at Zhang Zhiji in panic.

"Go home? Go back to which family? Jianu is now at the gate of the city, and he still has the mind to go home? I think he's going to end his career." Zhang Zhiji's face was full of anger, "Come here, give me I tied Wang Yiyuan out of the house, took him to the city wall, and hung it on the flagpole for me, and I want to see who else dares to neglect his duties at this time."

Zhang Zhiji's cold eyes swept across the crowd on the top of the wall, and he shouted in a cold tone.

"Where is Li Xiang?"

"The end is here!"

A burly man in armor stepped out from behind Zhang Zhiji.

"You will take over this section of the city wall now. I will tie up all these messy soldiers and beat them with thirty army sticks. Now that the enemy is in front of us, and they don't want to defend the city, they will all be beaten severely by me."

As soon as Zhang Zhiji finished speaking, Li Xiang led dozens of strong soldiers towards the soldiers in front.

"Keep an eye on the slaves outside the city, and report to me immediately if there is any situation."

Zhang Zhiji glanced at Li Xiang, then looked out of the city.

Sure enough, the densely packed Jiannu outside the city came towards the capital like locusts covering the sky.

Zhang Zhiji's face was solemn, and he rushed down the city wall with his personal guards.

"Boom!"

The horseshoes beat on the bluestone road in the street and headed towards the imperial palace.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Zhiji appeared in the warm pavilion in full armor.

"Your Majesty, the Jiannu army has arrived at the city, about 15."

Standing in the center of the warm pavilion, Zhang Zhiji saluted Chongzhen who was correcting the memorial, and then said in a deep voice.

When Chongzhen heard the words, the hand holding the writing brush kept shaking.

"What did you say? Jiannu has an army of 15? Are you sure?"

Chongzhen suddenly stood up from the chair, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Zhiji in horror.

Zhang Zhiji looked at the horrified Chongzhen, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is indeed an army of 15. Now, Jiannu soldiers and horses are less than ten miles away from the capital. I am afraid that Jiannu will attack the city tomorrow."

Chongzhen slumped on the chair directly, rubbing his temples with both hands.

"Hurry up, hurry up, quickly recruit six ministers, and the cabinet elders will come here."

Chongzhen pointed to Wang Chengen beside him, and said in panic.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and pull everyone in the Beijing camp up to the city wall, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities also pull up to me."

Chongzhen pointed to Zhang Zhiji and said eagerly.

Zhang Zhiji made a big salute to Chongzhen, and then walked outside with his hands.

A quarter of an hour later, the six ministers and the elders of the cabinet rushed to the warm pavilion.

"Military Department, where is the Guan Ning Army? Why haven't they come yet?"

As soon as Chongzhen saw Wang Qia walking in, he asked hurriedly before Wang Qia saluted.

Wang Qia hurriedly saluted and replied: "Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ning Army has already moved from Yongping Mansion, and it is less than [-] miles away from the capital."

"What? Thirty miles? What are you doing to eat? Jiannu has already arrived at the capital, what did the Guan Ning army do? There are still thirty miles?

Wang, I don't care what method you use, I must meet Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ningjun today.Otherwise, you can write a book and beg for bones.

At the same time, immediately issued the order of the king of soldiers and horses in the world. "

Chongzhen looked at Wang Qia and cursed directly.

Chongzhen originally didn't want to issue the order of the king of soldiers and horses in the world, but now it is impossible to do so.

Originally, he thought that even if Xuanzhen, Datong and Guanning Army could not defeat Jiannu, at least they could prevent Jiannu soldiers from approaching the capital.

But now, Jiannu has already approached the city, and there are no soldiers and horses in these military towns. It is impossible for Chongzhen not to go to work and Wang Ling.

……

When Jiannu was about to come outside the capital, Huang Taiji stationed his troops five miles away from Chaoyang Gate, Dongzhi Gate on the east side of the city wall, and Xizhi Gate on the west side.

Huang Taiji pointed to the extremely busy Ming army defenders on the city wall, and said sarcastically: "Ming dogs are not as good as each generation now, and now we have all hit the foot of their capital, and they only dare to hide in the capital. Dare to come out. Haha, it seems that the world is really going to fall into the hands of my Eight Banners athletes."

"Khan, Minggou is no longer as good as before. We might be able to take down the capital directly this time." Ji Erhalang followed behind Huang Taiji, looking at the walls of the capital in front of him, and said excitedly.

Being able to hit the capital city was something I never dared to think about before.

When Nurhachi was still there, he was wandering around the area of ​​Liaodong when he was dying. I really didn't expect that in less than a few years, he could hit the capital.

"Khan, all of this was achieved under your shrewd and martial leadership. I believe that as long as there is Khan, it will not be difficult to conquer the Ming Kingdom." Fan Wencheng had a flattering look on his face. Without panting, he patted Huang Taiji's flattery.

"Hehe, you sound right!" Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng with a difficult smile on his face.

"Pass down the order to camp in place. At the same time, order Mangurtai's Zhenglan Banner and Amin's Xianglan Banner to attack in all directions with the capital as the center. We must break through more in the shortest possible time. City, you must loot all the people here. These people are our slaves. Minggou is good at farming. Get them to Liaodong to farm for us. By the way, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled don’t want , just kill it. We only want to be young and strong!"

Huang Taiji said calmly, as if those old and weak were just a series of cold numbers in his eyes.

"According to the order!"

Jierhalang cupped his hands at Huang Taiji, and then walked towards the rear.

When it was completely dark, Yuan Chonghuan led Guan Ningjun to arrive late.

Because there were slaves stationed on the east and west sides of the capital, Yuan Chonghuan had to station his troops at Deshengmen and Andingmen in the north.

The night is getting darker, and this night is a cloudy sky, the moon and stars in the sky are covered by dark clouds, and the whole world can't be seen.

Yuan Chonghuan sat in the big tent of the Chinese army. He looked at Zu Dashou and the others, and said in a deep voice, "I want to enter the capital, so you stay here and guard it. I will be back tomorrow."

"My lord, at this time, you enter the capital three times. Is this okay? Jiannu is less than ten miles away from us. What should we do if we meet Jiannu?"

Zu Dashou looked at Yuan Chonghuan worriedly, and said slowly.

"Haha, you underestimate me, don't you? Back in Ningyuan City, I blocked the [-]-strong army of the slave chief Nurhachi with only a few thousand men. To be honest, I really didn't pay attention to today's battle."

Yuan Chonghuan looked at the generals in the big account, laughed, and then asked his personal guards to take out his official uniform and seal.

A moment later, Yuan Chonghuan stood up from his chair in official uniform, holding a seal, and led a few guards to the outside.

After a stick of incense, Yuan Chonghuan came directly to Andingmen.

"Who are you?"

The defenders on the top of the city held up torches, looked at Yuan Chonghuan and others outside the moat, and asked in a deep voice.

"Tell him who we are."

Yuan Chonghuan pointed to a burly man behind him, and said in a deep voice.

The big man cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and shouted towards the top of the city, "Shangshu of the Ministry of War is also the right deputy capital censor, supervisor of Ji Liao, concurrently supervisor of Denglai, military affairs of Tianjin, and governor of Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan. "

Upon hearing this, the defenders on the top of the city asked again, "How do you prove it?"

"Here is the seal letter of the adults, please let us pass the moat first."

The big man looked at the defenders on the top of the city and shouted loudly.

"It's pitch black, is he Master Yuan?"

A soldier looked at a soldier next to him, and said with a puzzled expression.

Another soldier said: "It should be. When it was just dark just now, didn't a group of Ming troops come from outside the city? It seems that they should be the Guanning Army from Liaodong."

"Then let them come here?"

"Let it go, let them pass the moat first. At that time, we will hang their seals up in a bamboo basket to check. If it is true, then hang it up in a bamboo basket. If not, it's okay."

"Okay!" The soldier nodded heavily, then turned around, and shouted at Yuan Chonghuan: "You stay away, I will lower the suspension bridge for you first."

Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly took a few steps back when he heard the words.

The soldiers on the top of the city directly controlled a huge winch and lowered the suspension bridge on the moat.

A moment later, Yuan Chonghuan put the document and seal letter into the bamboo basket, and was hung up by the defenders on the top of the city.

After a few breaths, the defenders on the city wall pulled Yuan Chonghuan up.

A few quarters of an hour later, Yuan Chonghuan came to the warm pavilion of the palace.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan who was kneeling in the center of the warm pavilion, the expression on his face changed again and again.

Finally, Emperor Chongzhen took a deep breath, pretended to be happy and said to Yuan Chonghuan, "Yuan Aiqing, get up quickly."

Chapter 177

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuan Chonghuan kowtowed a few times and stood up respectfully from the ground.

"Give a seat to Governor Yuan!" Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen, pointed at Yuan Chonghuan, and said in a deep voice.

If it weren't for Yuan Chonghuan now holding a heavy army and relying on him to guard the capital, Chongzhen would probably have the heart to cut Yuan Chonghuan directly.

Now that Jiannu is approaching the city, he came here in a leisurely manner.Moreover, the opening silver that Yuan Chonghuan asked for was still the silver that Bi Ziyan squeezed out from the treasury. If there was no opening silver, it is estimated that Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ning Army should still be on the way now.

Wang Chengen brought a Xiudun from the side and put it behind Yuan Chonghuan's buttocks.

Yuan Chonghuan thanked him, and then put half of his butt on Xiudun.

"Yuan Aiqing, how many soldiers and horses did you bring this time?"

Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan with hope, and asked slowly.

Yuan Chonghuan stretched out four fingers and said, "Your Majesty, I brought a total of [-] soldiers and horses this time."

"Forty thousand? Why so little?" Seeing this, Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan in disbelief.

Are you kidding, there are 10,000+ slaves outside the city, and you only brought [-] soldiers and horses?What is the use of these [-] soldiers and horses?Can it stop Jian Nu?

Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan, who had a calm expression, and his face sank for a moment.

"Yuan Aiqing, I remember that since you supervised Liaodong, the imperial court has allocated more than 300 million taels of silver to Liaodong, right? You only got 300 horses for the 4 million taels of silver?" Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan , asked with a black line on his face.

Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand gently, "Your Majesty, these 4 people are quite a lot. My 4 people are not comparable to other military towns. Half of my 4 people are cavalry, and each cavalry is equipped with two rods." Three-eyed firecrackers, a saber made of fine steel, and the armor on each person's body is fish scale armor made of fine steel.

The Guan Ning army equipped in this way can be said to be the first-class strong soldier in the entire Ming Dynasty.Even the vest soldiers of Jiannu, I'm afraid they are not as good. "

Chongzhen looked at the confident Yuan Chonghuan, and sneered twice, "Hehe, I don't think so, right? If your Guan Ning army is really so strong, why didn't you notice that Jiannu entered the capital through Xifengkou?"

Yuan Chonghuan really didn't expect Chongzhen to ask such a question, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Yuan Aiqing, in Liaodong alone, the annual military pay accounts for half of all the military pay on the Nine Sides. You told me at the beginning that you could pacify Liao in five years, but now why do you let Jiannu directly encircle the army?" The capital?" Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan with a stern look on his face.

Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly stood up from the Xiudun, then respectfully knelt on the ground, kowtowed his head a few times, "Your Majesty, if you are not satisfied with all the minister's actions, you can dismiss him from his post and investigate. I will definitely not have any complaints. "

Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan who was kneeling on the ground, trembling with anger.

Hmph, how loyal are you to ask me to dismiss you at this time?You are really capable of threatening me with Jian slaves outside the city and forcing the palace from me.

Although Chongzhen really wanted to take Yuan Chonghuan down at this time, if Yuan Chonghuan was taken down at this time, what would the Guan Ning army outside the city do?Will they be dissatisfied by it?Will there be a mutiny because Yuan Chonghuan was taken down?

Chongzhen didn't dare to gamble. Now that Jiannu soldiers are approaching the city, if it is true that the Guanning army outside the city caused chaos because of taking Yuan Chonghuan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan, his face changed again and again.In the end, he let out a long sigh, and said slowly, "Yuan Aiqing, I didn't mean that. I was just curious about the combat effectiveness of the Guan Ning Army."

Yuan Chonghuan lay on the ground, rolled his eyes, and then stood up again.

Yuan Chonghuan was just betting that Chongzhen would not dare to touch him, and if he moved himself at this time, he would destroy the Great Wall himself.

Yuan Chonghuan believed that if Chongzhen dared to move him, Zu Dashou and others outside the city would definitely not listen to Chongzhen's orders.If he really moved himself, would he still want Guan Ning's army to repel Jiannu?It's just a dream.

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, apart from his own Guan Ning Army, who could fight Jian Nu in the field?

"The minister wrote a letter to beg for the bones, and I hope His Majesty will fulfill it." Yuan Chonghuan not only did not get up, but took off the black gauze hat from his head, put it directly on the ground, and said again.

Chongzhen's right hand pinched directly on the armrest of the chair, and the joints also turned white due to excessive force.

Chongzhen looked angrily at Chongzhen who was kneeling on the ground, and almost spewed out several times of shouting and cursing.
