In the second year of Chongzhen, on the fifth day of the first month of November, early in the morning.

Martial law in Beijing.

The fluttering snow finally stopped, and the entire Jingshi was white, and the temperature dropped suddenly.

This is the season near the end of the year, there is no trace of the New Year's flavor, the city is deserted, there is no small stall vendors, and the big families are busy with the gold and silver of the big carts, waiting for the opportunity to slip away.

The news that the Tartars were going to attack the Jingshi had already been known to the whole city.

At this time.

Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, who summoned the ministers on the platform, kept walking back and forth, his face full of uneasiness and anxiety.

The already pale face was already blue and red, and a layer of sweat oozed out of this cold day.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart.

As soon as others cross, it's either a little aunt or a little marquis or something.

As a maid with thousands of wealth, a beautiful wife, and a flirtatious maid or something.

It's a romantic life!

He is good, it seems that he has arranged an Emperor Chongzhen.

But I didn't be happy for a few days, and I encountered this fateful change.

As a pseudo-Ming fan, he also knew that the Ming Dynasty was still some years old, and he was originally calm in his heart.

Being an emperor is essentially a good job.

Taking advantage of the fact that Daming still has more than ten years of qi, he is mixed in the harem of three thousand beauties.

Isn't it fragrant?

But the pedantic ministers in front of him cried and shouted that they wanted to discuss countermeasures with the court and resist the Tartars.

It's okay to go to the court, but come up with a plan to defend against the enemy?

After tossing for half a morning, one by one they were either "Wechen is guilty" or "Wechen is dead".

Or simply keep your head down and play dead.

There's an egg.

So far, there has not been a single soldier of King Qin's soldiers and horses.

He was also a little anxious.

On October 29, Huang Taiji's Houjin army passed through Mongolia and broke through the Great Wall Pass, Longjing Pass and Da'ankou, and directly took Zunhua.

Zunhua is only three hundred miles away from Jingshi, and if Zunhua falls, then Jingshi will not be able to keep it.

From the 14th year of orthodoxy to the 2nd year of Chongzhen, the capital has not experienced war for 180 years.

During this period, although it experienced the Gengxu Change, the Tatar army only plundered in the suburbs of Beijing and did not attack the city.

"Wang Qia, you are the secretary of the military department, you say!"

Zhu Youzhen was really angry, and looked around at these ministers whose heads were almost hanging down to the crotch of their pants, and directly named them.

"The minister thinks that the great tomorrow, the gods of our emperor, and the general Zhao Shujiao can stop the enemy in Zunhua, and the Jingshi will be safe!"

Wang Qia said stiffly.

I didn't have the slightest confidence in what I said.

Although Zhao Shujiao is a famous general in Liaodong, he only brought 4,000 soldiers and horses, can he stop the 80,000 Houjin army?

He packed up his gold and silver last night and was ready to run away, and he came to meet you today to find an opportunity to get out of the city.

"Your Majesty, Tang has reported!" As soon as these words fell, the eunuch Gao Qiqian came to report with a panicked face.

"What's the panic? Read! Zhu Youzhen scolded coldly.

"General Zhao led the sect to intercept it, and the whole army was destroyed, and he obeyed the ...... Zunhua ...... Fall,"

"What?"

"This ......"

"Tartars are like tigers and wolves......"

All the ministers' faces were suddenly earthy, and their hearts sank to their feet and necks.

Wang Qia's eyes were black, and he almost passed out......

Even if he didn't expect Zhao Shujiao to be able to stop the Houjin army, he could always delay it so that he could buy time for other reinforcements.

"When did Zunhua fall?" Zhu Youzhen asked angrily.

"Zunhua has fallen on the second day of November!"

Gao Qi said tremblingly.

Suddenly, the faces of the ministers on the platform turned pale.

It's been three days, and if Huang Taiji drives straight in, he has already come to the city.

"It's been three days? Only now? Do you think your head is hard enough? Zhu Youzhen said angrily.

"When will reinforcements arrive? How long will it take for Yuan Chonghuan's army to arrive? Are all the people in the military department furnishings? ”

"The edict has been issued for two days, and at the latest it will be two or three days!"

"Datong, Changping, Xuanfu, and Baoding soldiers and horses should be able to arrive today and tomorrow."

Wang Qia glanced at other colleagues out of the corner of his eye, but these old boys all pretended to be dead and didn't answer at all.

As the secretary of the Ministry of War, Wang Qia had no choice but to reply stiffly.

"So long? By the time they arrived, I'm afraid my head would have moved! ”

Zhu Youzhen was furious, and these people were useless.

"My emperor is angry, and Weichen is guilty of death!"

The emperor was furious, and the ministers knelt down in unison and shouted in unison.

"Capital crimes, capital crimes, you know how to shout slogans, but you have come up with a way!"

Don't say it, Zhu Youzhen is really angry.

Although the Ming Dynasty should not die, these ministers are too incompetent.

"Your Majesty, although the Tartars are fierce, as long as we hold on to it and hold on for two or three days, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

An old man in his sixtieth year stood up and said.

"Bold Sun Chengzong, the monarch and the minister are right, then you have the right to speak."

Wang Qia shouted angrily.

At this time, Sun Chengzong had already been summoned temporarily.

As soon as he heard that it was Sun Chengzong, Zhu Youzhen suddenly came to his senses.

As the founder of the Guanning Defense Line, he said that there is a way, and there is still some hope in nine times out of ten.

"Why?" Zhu Youzhen hurriedly asked.

"The walls of Jingshi City are thick, even if the troops are weak, it is not easy to attack the city, this is one of them."

"The Tartars are already tired after a long-distance attack, and there is not enough food and grass, our army is waiting for work, the walls are clear, and the enemy will not be able to fight for a long time, and this is the second."

"My Qinwang soldiers and horses will arrive soon, and the enemy is afraid of cutting off his back road, and he does not dare to fight, this is the third."

What Sun Chengzong said was true.

"The emperor can't, the Tartars have 100,000 horses, and they can't be sharp, and at the moment our city defense is powerless to stop it, only to discuss and move the capital is the best policy!"

Before Zhu Youzhen could speak, Wang Qia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, hurriedly stood up and said.

"Weichen seconded!"

Immediately, almost all the ministers stood up and echoed without thinking.

These rotten and incompetent ministers.

They are almost the same as Wang Qia, not thinking about how to keep the Jingshi, but how to carry the gold and silver and the concubines in the family to escape.

It is no wonder that the Ming Dynasty did not go to extinction.

"Your Majesty, Tartar...... The Tartars have arrived in Tongzhou. ”

Zhu Youzhen just wanted to reprimand these soft eggs, but he saw Gao Qi, who had already withdrawn, staggering and saying.

"Tongzhou? Arrived in Tongzhou so soon? ”

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen's heart hung in his throat, he was really panicked, and the beads of sweat on his forehead went directly down his ears and temples.

How did the Tartars arrive so soon? Helpless!

Tongzhou is the gate of Beijing, and it is only forty miles away from Beijing.

Huang Taiji can surround the Jingshi in two hours at most.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that the matter of preparing for peace should not be delayed."

Wang Qia knelt and said.

"Wang Qia, if it is peace, who do you think is the most suitable?"

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Wang Qia coldly, what kind of cowardice can be the secretary of the military department? I really don't know how Chongzhen chose the minister.

"The ministers should risk death to share the emperor's worries, and they are willing to take the whole family as a hostage, bring the emperor's letter, go to negotiate peace, and never disgrace their mission!"

The ministers echoed one after another, eager to go out of the city with all their brains.

Zhu Youzhen's eyes went straight to Venus, this dog thing said high-sounding, but he was thinking about running away.

I also want to take the whole family to run away, which is really too much.

What's even more hateful, looking at the ministers, only Sun Chengzong, who has no power or office, advocates resisting the enemy, and together with the first assistant of the cabinet, he also supports Wang Qia's proposal.

If the Ming Dynasty does not die, then there will be ghosts.

When he was in the heat of anger, a voice suddenly sounded in his head.

"Ding, host confirmed."

"Ding, God of War Summoning System Binding......"

"Ding, new task option generates ......"

"Option one, surrender in Kaesong, and reward 10,000 taels of gold."

"Option 2, follow Wang Qia's suggestion, negotiate peace and gold, and reward ten beauties in the Western Regions......"

"Option three, go to prison Wang Qia, and get a novice supreme gift package."
