Chapter 128: A Good Opportunity to Defeat the Enemy's Rebellion
On the second day, Xiao Zongchang, the patriarch of the Xiao family, and Xiao Zongsheng, the Marquis of Jinghai, put the guilt on the emperor's desk. Yesterday, things were so troublesome, and the emperor just took a hasty look at it and didn't leave it.
The emperor's illness was almost cured, but his royal car stopped in Texas and refused to go any further. Originally, the officials began to discuss, and many people speculated that the emperor was waiting for the results of the defense of the Beijing Division, and if the Beijing Division held on, the so-called "Southern Tour" would naturally have no meaning.
The emperor wanted to keep the prince in Beijing to supervise the country, and the news that the prince refused because of his timidity had already been released by the Xiao family, and now that the crown princess was assassinated, the emperor only took Shi You into custody, but did not blame the Xiao family, but gave the prince a punishment, which couldn't help but make the officials discuss.
Is this the rhythm of the prince going to fall out of favor?
Although the emperor didn't like the prince very much before, but the identity of the prince was there, and the emperor didn't pay attention to him, although the prince did not establish his own power in the court, but there were still many ministers in the court who bought his account, and the prince, after all, represents orthodoxy.
But now, many people are beating drums in their hearts. One has just made a great contribution in the defense of Beijing, but the other was severely punished by his father, originally thought that Shi You's matter could help the prince get back a city, but now, it seems that it is safer to stay away from this battle!
In the prince's palace, it is said that he is reading behind closed doors, and where can the prince read, when a small chamberlain enters the door, his voice is a little louder, and the prince is furious, and he whips him dozens of times with a whip in the courtyard, and the miserable howl of the little eunuch is far away, Yuxin listens to it in her room for a long time, and can't help frowning.
She really looked down on the prince.
At that time, the emperor gave him a chance to stay in the Jingshi Supervision State, and it was obvious that if he repelled the Tuwu and Jurchen coalition forces, his status as the prince would be as stable as a rock, but the prince was as timid as a mouse, and he refused to agree, but he would lose his sacred heart.
She lacks strategy, and when something like this happens, she will be angry with the little eunuch, and during the time she married the prince, there were already four little eunuchs who were whipped to death by him.
The green branch was beside Yuxin, trembling with fright, and the miserable screams of the little eunuch penetrated into her ears one after another, and her heart twitched when she heard it. "Niangniang, let's still plead for mercy, save people's lives, and win the seventh-level floating slaughter!"
Yu Xin sighed, isn't it unpleasant to go out at this time! But it's true that she's not the kind of person who can't be saved. After thinking about it, she put on a cloak and pushed the door open and walked out.
There was no one in the courtyard, and the eunuch who Ye Minshu was serving was also far away, His Royal Highness the Prince's face was hideous, and the whip was still whipped on the little eunuch's body, and he said to himself: "Kill you!" Kill you dog minion! ”
The little eunuch had turned into a blood gourd, and the green branches and green stamen couldn't wait to cover their eyes, and they didn't even dare to look at it. Yu Xin walked over, Ying Ying saluted, and shouted: "Your Highness! ”
The prince looked back suddenly, the whip in his hand pointed directly at Yuxin, and said, "What, even you have to fight against Lonely?" ”
A cold flame rose in Yu Xin's eyes, she is the most stubborn by nature, she has always eaten soft and not hard, the prince's whip almost swept her face, but Yu Xin's face did not change at all, the last time the prince used her as bait to lure Shi You to do it to her, Yu Xin has completely died to the prince.
She said lightly: "He is just an insignificant eunuch, Your Highness, you are golden and noble, why should you be angry for such a person?" ”
The prince said coldly: "This is Lone's Palace, do whatever Lone wants!" ”
Yuxin said: "This is indeed His Highness's palace, even if you whip this little eunuch to death, no one will care, but if it reaches the ears of the emperor, it will inevitably fall into a charge that you are resentful of because of the emperor's holy decree, wouldn't it be worth the loss?" ”
This sentence touched the heart of the prince, the emperor did not want to see him because of many things, if the Xiao family advanced a slander on the emperor at this time, saying that he whipped the eunuch because he hated the emperor, the consequences would ...... Syllable! The prince threw down his whip in anger. He returned to the room without looking back.
He also doesn't like how he looks at Yu Xin, but Yu Xin is the crown princess appointed by the queen mother and canonized by the emperor, and the prince has to rely on the strength of the Yang family, so he has endured it in every possible way. Thinking of her sister, she is quite amorous and obedient to herself, these days, the prince has taken the time to meet Yuxia a few times, and each time the result is inevitably rolling on the bed, the prince inevitably thinks, the same sisters, why is the gap between the two so big?
As soon as the prince left, the servants in the courtyard all appeared one by one, as if they had come out of the ground. After all, it was sympathy, and a few chamberlains came over to thank Yuxin. Yu Xin saw that the little chamberlain who was beaten was already out of breath and out of breath, so she said: "Hurry up and find some stick medicine to treat him, whether he can survive or not depends on his creation!" "It's absolutely inappropriate to go out and see a doctor.
In fact, although the stakes are very high at this time, from the emperor to the civil and military officials, everyone pays more attention to the situation of the Beijing Division, and it has been five days since the Beijing Division defended the battle. The foreign coalition army first attacked Deshengmen, Ye Minchun was ordered to supervise, although he was young but commanded properly, plus Ye Yichen decisively sent troops to reinforce after understanding the enemy's situation, and the two transformed cannons on the head of the city also played a huge role, Zuo Yan and Tumutu attacked for five hours, the corpses accumulated more than ten meters deep under the city, and the soldiers were exhausted, and they had to retreat after the last Mingjin.
After returning to the camp ten miles away, Zuo Yan realized that his younger brother Polo was actually killed by a cannon under the Desheng Gate, and in just one day, the combined forces of the two clans lost nearly a thousand soldiers, and their morale was extremely low for a while.
In the evening, Zuo Yan and Tumu Tu discussed, Deshengmen was so difficult to fight, it seemed that the main force of the Chu army was in Deshengmen, so the two decided to concentrate the main force and attack Xizhimen. I don't think that Ye Minyu, the guard of Xizhimen, is a madman at all, although he is a prince, but he doesn't want to die at all when he fights, his style is completely different from Ye Minchun, Ye Minchun sits in the Chinese army, if the command is fixed, the whole army is forbidden, and it is orderly, but Ye Minyu is the first, the enemy is coming, he runs faster than the big soldiers.
The officers and soldiers of Xizhimen under his leadership are brave and abnormal, cutting people up to be more ferocious than the abrupt Jurchen, Zuo Yan and Tumutu fought in Xizhimen for two days and two nights, killed countless people, once occupied the city wall, Ye Yichen from Changyi Gate, Desheng Gate to draw reinforcements, personally led the team, Ye Minyu was injured in many places, not afraid of death, self-torn robe, wrapped in wounds, bravely fighting, with such a prince taking the lead, the whole army was not afraid of death, many people went to the city, without weapons to attack the enemy with stones.
At the moment of crisis, General Kate gave Ye Yichen an idea, wrapped gunpowder in reeds and quilts, threw it into the city, and poured oil on firewood, mixed gunpowder, tied it with iron ropes and lit it.
After two days and two nights of attack, the corpses of the thieves under the city were piled up, and the foreign coalition army had no choice but to retreat. And the gunners of the Chu army continued to fire their guns until they lost their strength and died, which shows the fierceness of the battle.
When the battle comes to this point, in fact, the victory and defeat have been divided. That night, Zuo Yan looked at the Beijing giant city from afar, only felt bitter in his heart, he calculated in every possible way, and finally achieved such a favorable situation, but was destroyed by a Ye Yichen, in fact, today, he is very close to victory, at that time the most elite warriors have attacked the city, at that time the competition is willpower, however, Ye Yichen was able to condense such a large morale of the people in a short period of time, Beijing City is like a huge reef by the sea, no matter how the waves hit, it is as stable as a mountain.
That man, how did he do it all?
Zuo Yan inspected the entire camp, abruptly the morale of the army was low, the Chu army was brave and not afraid, the key was that the firearms were too sharp, and many soldiers all died under the unknown cannons or new gunpowder weapons.
The grassland is no better than Da Chu, whoever has the biggest fist can be the boss, once the soldiers under his command are too damaged, and he returns to the grassland, he may not even be able to do the position of the khan.
Zuo Yan made a difficult decision to attack for two more days, and if it didn't work, he would lead the army to retreat.
Without waiting for Zuo Yan to attack again, on May 25, the gate of Zhangyi Gate was opened, and the 10,000 cavalry of the Chu army took the initiative to attack under the leadership of the general soldier Shi Qian.
This time, people from outside the city also joined the battle and attacked its food routes. The people in Lingqiu, Weixian, and Laiyuan also organized one after another to strike at the Warat army that was plundering everywhere.
The flames of war burned from inside the city to outside the city. Ye Yichen sat in the Drum Tower, and kept coming to report like a flowing horse, and he continued to issue orders, dispatch troops, and successively sent Ye Minyu, Ye Minchun, Ye Fengqi and even Yuan Datou and others out, and Beijing City almost became an isolated city, but at this time, Zuo Yan and Tu Mutu had no spare strength to attack Beijing.
In this field battle, one dozen is 5 days. In this process, the firearms of the Chu army played a great role, and the trained musketeers cooperated with the cavalry of the Chu army to restrain the Tuwu and Jurchen cavalry to death, and the coalition forces of the two ethnic groups were repeatedly defeated, the siege of the city was not overcome, the peace negotiations could not be achieved, and the morale fell to the bottom!
At this time, Zuo Yan and Tu Tu's regretful intestines were blue. No one says that Beijing will be captured anymore, it would be nice to be able to go home alive!
Immediately after that, another shocking news came, Ye Yichen divided a group of 5,000 soldiers and horses in the absence of major generals, quietly came to Juyong Pass, and took advantage of the lax defense of the Jurchens to recapture Juyong Pass in one fell swoop!
Zuo Yan finally understood, this man, from the beginning, never thought that he would lose, with the confidence of victory, he strangled his retreat to death early in the morning, and wanted to completely eat himself and the 60,000 soldiers and horses of Tutu, and never suffer in the future! How did his heart grow?
On the first night of the first month of June, Zuo Yan and Tumutu led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat from Liangxiang to the direction of Bauhinia Pass. Ye Yichen personally led the army to pursue the victory, and defeated more than 20,000 people of the alliance army of the two ethnic groups in Gu'an, Bazhou and other places, captured 48 generals of the two ethnic groups, and recaptured more than 20,000 plundered livestock.
On the 10th day of the first month of June, Tuwu and the Jurchens parted ways and fled for their lives.
Ye Yichen didn't care about the Jurchens at all, and sent a big head to lead the cavalry to identify the sudden people and chase after them. On June 13, at the instigation of Ye Yichen, there was a sudden infighting, and several big leaders jointly killed Zuo Yan and sent his heads to Beijing. At this time, the Jurchens also retreated to the northeast.
The Battle of the Kyoshi has been fully victorious! The whole country is jubilant!
As soon as Zuo Yan died, the leaders of the grassland were busy going back to re-divide the territory, elect a new leader, and relieve the siege of Xuanda. Shu Han in the southwest was already ready to move, ready to go out of the Northern Expedition of Shu, heard the results of the defense of Beijing, immediately sent envoys to pay tribute, the national fortunes of Great Chu were already stormy, did not come to the peak of the turn, not only the crisis was lifted, but showed a prosperous momentum.
At this time, Ye Yichen, who sat in the Beijing division and led the defense of the Beijing division, not only held the Beijing division, but also killed the enemy chief Zuoyan, and solved the border trouble by the way, and hundreds of people inside and outside the Great Wall set up a shrine for him.
Prince Jin's Mansion, after Ye Yichen sat on the bookcase, since the start of the battle to defend Beijing, he has hardly slept a single night, such a large Beijing city, millions of people, military and government affairs, there are hundreds of things waiting for him to make ideas every day. His eyes were bloodshot, but he couldn't hide his excitement.
His henchmen opened it to him with a special box, and it was none other than the culprit of this war, Zuo Yan's head!
After Ye Yichen saw it, he smiled: "Zuo Yan, Zuo Yan, you also have today!" ”
The staff put the box aside and said in a deep voice: "As soon as Zuo Yan dies, the sudden fall into disintegration immediately, and we will send people to provoke a war between the Jurchens, and the Northeast will not be afraid!" The prince has made such an immortal feat, which is really gratifying! ”
Ye Yichen smiled faintly: "This king just wants to be happy on the battlefield, as for this meritorious feat or not, it has not been seen in the eyes of this king!" ”
The man seemed to know Ye Yichen's temper very well, and only smiled slightly: "The prince's merits are high, and the momentum is shocking, if you don't plan early, I'm afraid that a catastrophe is coming!" ”
Ye Yichen sneered: "With the merits of this king now, what excuse can the imperial brother have to kill me?" ”
The calm voice of the staff echoed in the room: "Now that the Jingshi is in the hands of the prince, it is easy to replace it!" Is the prince willing to be subservient to others like this? He made a chopping motion, "Just send a detachment of men, led by your closest people, to Texas overnight, and it only takes one night to kill them all." With the prestige of the prince, as long as you do it cleanly, just say that the emperor died at the hands of foreign rogues, and when you are calm, you will calmly come out to clean up the mess, and you will have a good country at your fingertips! Don't miss ......"
Ye Yichen's heart was pounding, all the blood was rushing to his head, and his face was flushed. As a member of the imperial family, his father was killed by Emperor Taizong himself, how can he not hate, how can he be willing, now that Jingshi is in his hands, as long as he wants to be the emperor, the chance of success is almost ninety percent, whether to do it or not?
The author has something to say: The war part has been written, and I know that the Dao Nai people don't like to watch the war very much~
