Chapter 55: Inspector Wang Feng
Huangji Palace, although the time of the early dynasty has already passed at this time, but the entire hall is still full of people, after killing Fan Wencheng, Chongzhen calmed down for a long time before he realized that he had caused a big disaster, but as an emperor, how could he admit his mistake, so almost all the ministers were left in this Huangji Hall to discuss how to deal with the attack of the Tartars.

"Chen Xinjia, did the Ministry of War send out their messages to Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng?" As soon as Chongzhen finished killing Fan Wencheng yesterday, he strictly ordered the Ministry of War to urge the soldiers and horses in all towns to raise troops and Qin Wang, especially the feudal towns on the outskirts of Beijing, which were the objects that Chongzhen relied on.
"Back to the emperor! The military department has already sent out the order of King Qin for 800 miles last night! In a few days, the army of King Qin from all over the country will arrive in Beijing!" Where did Chen Xinjia dare to delay, as soon as the emperor's order came yesterday, he Chen Xinjia made arrangements non-stop.
"Okay! Okay!" Chongzhen relieved himself a little.
"Boom, boom. Just as everyone was discussing in the Imperial Palace, there were suddenly several cannon shots.
"Where to shoot artillery, where to shoot artillery! Is it that the Tartars are attacking the city, Wang Chengen go and see what's going on!" Chongzhen was frightened by the sound of the cannon!
"Report!" a little eunuch ran in quickly with small steps, "Long live Lord, the Tartars have opened fire outside the city, and they are looking like they are going to attack the city!"
"What?" Chongzhen sat down on the dragon chair with a slump of his ass, and sure enough, he killed the envoy of the Qing court and angered the Tartars, "What should I do? Where is Hong Chengchou?" Chongzhen then remembered Hong Chengchou and hurriedly asked.
"Back to the emperor, Lord Hong has arrived in Jingshi! Now he is resting!" Chen Xinjia hurriedly went out of class to play.
"Quick, hurry up, Hong Chengchou hurry up and launch an attack on the Tartars!" Now Chongzhen's mind is full of how to repel the Tartars, where can he still think that Hong Chengchou only has 20,000 people.
"Report!" another eunuch hurriedly ran in and knelt down and said, "Spy report, a force of about 30,000 people of the Qing army is heading towards Changling!"
"What?" Chongzhen stood up suddenly, "You tell me where you're heading again." β
"Go to Changling, long live the lord!" the little eunuch quickly repeated with a sharp voice.
"Long live the Lord, there are only 3,000 mausoleum guards in Changling! these people are definitely not the opponents of the Tartars!" Wang Chengen, as the chief official of the inner court, knew everything about the garrisons of the various imperial tombs, and hurriedly reminded in a whisper.
"How should this γγγγγγ be good!" is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, Chongzhen is now overstretched, and the Jingshi has already taken care of himself, where are there still soldiers sent to rescue Changling. But this Changling can't sit idly by.
"Are you sure this Tartar is really heading towards Changling?" Chongzhen hoped that the spies had mistaken and falsely reported.
"Long live the Lord, this is what the spies saw with their own eyes, and the Tartars are heading towards Changling. The little eunuch's words mercilessly shattered Chongzhen's illusions.
"Long live the lord, we must not let this tartar cut off the dragon vein of our Ming Dynasty. This is a major event related to the Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations, if the Tartars disturb the peace of Emperor Chengzu, we courtiers will be to blame! We must not let this Fengyang incident repeat again!"
Liu Zongzhou's words suddenly caused the imperial historians in the hall to explode, and they all stood up and made generous statements, and some of them cried bitterly and almost tried to find a tartar.
"Long live, the minister asks the emperor to order Hong Chengchou to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to gallop to aid Changling!" Liu Zongzhou took the lead in petitioning.
"The ministers seconded it!"
"The ministers seconded the proposal, and asked the emperor to send troops quickly!"
Chongzhen is now in a dilemma, from the bottom of his heart he is extremely reluctant to transfer Hong Chengchou's 20,000 soldiers and horses to help Changling, now the Beijing division is in danger under the Tartar artillery attack, Hong Chengchou's 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the Beijing division can at least contain the Tartars well, if Hong Chengchou's 20,000 soldiers and horses leave this Beijing division will be dangerous. But the problem is that Chongzhen can't directly refuse this proposal, and this Liu Zongzhou even moved out of Fengyang's affairs.
Chongzhen tilted his head towards Chen Xinjia as if he cast a look for help.
Chen Xinjia, who is the secretary of the Ministry of War, of course understands the importance of Hong Chengchou's new force, and hurriedly went out of the squad when the emperor sent a request for help, "Weichen thinks that this news is not necessarily accurate, and it can even be said that this is a trap of the Tartars, the purpose of which is to encircle and annihilate the 20,000 elite horsemen under Lord Hongγγγγγγ"
"Chen Xinjiaγγγγγγ" Before Chen Xinjia finished speaking, Liu Zongzhou hurriedly jumped out, "You are bold, how important it is to defend the dragon vein, if the dragon vein is destroyed, can you Chen Xinjia bear the responsibility?
"This γγγγγγ" was frightened by Liu Zongzhou's words, Chen Xinjia's face changed greatly, and he was charged with a big unfilial piety after saying that, where did Chen Xinjia dare to say it again, and if he continued to talk about it, he might be charged with something.
Chen Xinjia shrank his mouth, and no ministers dared to come forward.
Chongzhen had no choice but to agree to the ministers' performance and ordered Hong Chengchou to go to protect the tomb.
Hong Chengchou's camp, just received the emperor's edict to protect the tomb, Hong Chengchou is sighing, although helpless, but the emperor's edict must be obeyed, Hong Chengchou convened the generals to discuss in the starry night.
"The marshal can't go! This is definitely a trap!" Wu Sangui saw through the intentions of the Tartars at a glance, and the Tartars obviously wanted to lure and annihilate the 20,000 Guan Ning army.
"Yes, Dashuai! I definitely can't go!" Cao Wenzhao and Bai Guangen also persuaded.
"Okay, Ben Shuai is not here to listen to your persuasion!" Hong Chengchou stopped everyone, and then said, "Ben Shuai decided to personally lead a thousand elite cavalry to Changling, the army garrison in Beijing will remain unchanged, after this commander leaves, the army will be controlled by Wu Sangui! When the other armies arrive, you must not act rashly!" Hong Chengchou repeatedly admonished.
"Dashuai, you are in danger of the Ming Dynasty, you must not take risks!
"Needless to say, Ben Shuai has made up his mind, no need to say more!"
The Daimyo Mansion, Chongzhen's holy decree has already reached the Daimyo, where did Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuan, Da, and Shanxi military affairs dare to delay, and personally led the Shanxi General Army Hu Dawei to raise 30,000 troops to aid the Beijing Division.
Luoyang, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Sun Chuanting, received the holy decree and immediately gathered 100,000 troops and set off for Beijing at night.
In Nanjing City, Wang Feng was busy in the past two days, and the scholars who stayed in Nanjing collectively responded to Emperor Chongzhen's Qinwang order, and unanimously elected Wang Feng as the commander of Nanjing's Qinwang army, leading 50,000 army and 30,000 sailors to aid Beijing.
