Chapter 39: Wu Sangui's Little Abacus
Even if the army of the rogues crushes the city, even if the army of Ruvarat besieges the capital. Even if the emperor is unfortunately captured, he will never admit defeat. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty had good and bad ones, and there were also those who were playful and ignored the government, but the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not have a soft bone. (It's orthodox, Nanming is unorthodox)
The Ming Dynasty was also the only dynasty in the history of China that did not sign any unequal treaties in the century-old empire.
It has never been amiable, has never paid compensation, has not ceded land, has not paid tribute, and is the only dynasty that has never bowed to any force.
When the territory was the most vast, it reached the Khing'an Mountains overseas in the northeast, the Gobi Desert in the north, Hami in Xinjiang in the northwest, and the Bay of Bengal in the southwest.
The Ming army is the dynasty that insisted on resisting for the longest time after the collapse of the country, and they insisted on resisting for 38 years, and the Ming navy never had a defeat.
Although the Ming Dynasty is not as strong as the Han Dynasty, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away.
There is no prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and I cherish the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.
There is no splendor of the Song Dynasty, and the culture of the Chinese nation benefited the Zhao and Song dynasties.
However, the Ming Dynasty had no harmony with the Han Dynasty, no alliance with the Tang Dynasty, no tax book of the Song Dynasty, and no gift from the enemy country of brothers.
Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when there were internal and external troubles, the troops were still divided into two ways and stubbornly dealt with the Eastern Invasion and the Liukou army.
For the land outside the Guan, we have never given up the hope that the whole of Liao can be restored.
The Ming Dynasty never signed any unequal treaties, and after the Eastern Exile came to power, China signed a series of humiliating treaties, and the territory was torn apart.
Compared with Chongzhen and Puyi, they are also the last emperors, one is the Son of Heaven who hanged himself for guarding the country, and the other is a traitor and lackey of the Japanese invaders, waging his tail and begging for mercy in order to survive.
The demise of the Ming Dynasty was caused by a variety of factors, the most serious was the Xiaoice period, when crops were not yet ripe, and they either froze to death or drowned in water.
Later, due to the great famine, the plague caused a serious plague, resulting in ten cities and nine emptiness, and 200,000 people died of disease in one Jingshi city alone, equivalent to 20% of the population of Jingshi.
It is precisely because of this that the people were forced to rebel, not to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, but to fill their stomachs
(Li Zicheng killed Jingshi and originally wanted to negotiate with Chongzhen, but Chongzhen refused because of the division of the northwest)
At this time, the Ming Dynasty had lost most of the country, Liaodong, Shandong, Dezhou and other places were occupied by the east, and Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang and other places were occupied by Liukou.
And in Sichuan, there was also a Daxi regime, which was completely controlled by Zhang Xianzhong.
Although Jiangnan is still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen only has the city of Jingshi in the north, and all the surrounding cities have fallen.
On the smart map, Shanhaiguan was still in the hands of Daming, but Zhu Youzhen soon discovered that there was a red dot moving there.
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help frowning, red is the mark of the Eastern Captivity, could it be that the Eastern Captivity started to act so many days earlier than recorded in history?
"Your Majesty, Qinglong Cao Zhengchun Yuhuatian asks to see you."
"Know, let them in."
"Obedience"
At this time, Yue Nu A Qing reported to Zhu Youzhen, Qinglong and others asked to see, Zhu Youzhen nodded, and then the three masters entered the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Seeing Zhu Youzhen, he bowed down in a proper manner:
"Blue Dragon"
"Cho Jeong-chun"
"Rain Field"
"See the Emperor"
Zhu Youzhen's mind was withdrawn from the smart map and looked at the three of them:
"Excuse me"
"Qinglong, pass on my will, let the White Tiger Xuanwu lead two hundred brocade guards, all dressed as fleeing ordinary people, find a way to blend into Shanhaiguan, be careful not to reveal your identity."
"Obedience"
"Yuhuatian, you send people to Jiangnan to transfer the officials of the Nanjing Imperial Court, as well as Wu Youke Divine Doctor and Jiangyin Dian Shi Yan Yingyuan, and let them immediately leave to secretly enter Beijing."
"Obedience"
"Also, Cao Huachun will send some elites to enter the big towns occupied by the rogues as soon as possible and assassinate all their leaders."
"Obedience"
"Qinglong, you lead five hundred brocade guards, disguise yourself to enter Datong Mansion, collect evidence of the crimes of the eight Jin merchants, and raid their homes by the way"
"Obedience"
After a series of orders were issued, Zhu Youzhen's eyes looked at Yuhuatian:
"Yuhuatian, what I asked you to do, did it have any results?"
What Zhu Youzhen said, only Yu Huatian alone, heard the emperor's question, Yu Huatian hurriedly bowed and saluted:
"Your Majesty, according to your instructions, all parties who tried to approach the Jingshi to inquire about the news have been cleared, and the news of the defense of the Jingshi will not spread for a short time."
"Haha, good, you guys go down."
The three of them were ordered to leave the Heart Cultivation Hall immediately, looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, Ah Qing couldn't help but be a little worried, walked behind Zhu Youzhen, and gently knocked him on the back.
"Your Majesty, the situation has not stabilized yet, you sent them all away, what if there is no one around you in case of any emergency."
Zhu Youzhen smiled and patted A Qingyu's hand:
"It doesn't matter, they will take a few hundred people at most, there are still thousands of brocade guards and factory guards by my side, and the Vermilion Bird Yuhuatian is still in the Jingshi, and there is really no one to use it, isn't there still Ah Qing here."
Shanhaiguan Marshal's Mansion
Wu Sangui was reading a letter, the letter of the regent Dolgon, who was captive in the east.
The content of the letter is, of course, the hope that Wu Sangui will be able to surrender to them.
Liukou gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege the Beijing division, Wu Sangui had a total of 50,000 Guanning iron cavalry, and after receiving the holy decree of King Chongzhen Qin, he was very embarrassed.
If the other armies could not enter King Qin, with his Wu Sangui's Ning Yuan army, if he wanted to defeat the hundreds of thousands of Liukou army, it was obviously an egg to hit a stone.
So Wu Sangui sent a complaint to inquire about the news of the other Qinwang troops, and if the other horses did not move, he would definitely delay the preservation of strength.
As a result, several other Qinwang armies were slowly advancing on the road, obviously delaying the process, and Tang Tong surrendered Li Zicheng halfway.
Liu Zeqing of Shandong refused to enter King Qinwang in Beijing under the pretext of being injured after falling off the horse.
Zuo Liangyu's army was the largest in number, but he did not dare to fight Li Zicheng, and the march was also procrastinated, and he could not walk a few kilometers in a day.
Although the army of several Qinwang did not enter Jingqin in time, they all sent a message to inquire about the Jingshi.
However, all the people who went to Beijing to inquire about the news were nowhere to be seen, and these people thought that they had been found and killed by the rogue, and sent them again to continue to investigate.
In fact, Zhu Youzhen had already taken precautions against them, arranged for Yuhuatian, and secretly sent some elite factory guards out of the city quietly.
Try every means to bypass the defense of the Liukou, intercept and kill all the people who inquire about the news on the periphery, and absolutely not let the news of the defense of the capital get out.
Zhu Youzhen's move is also to prevent some people from seeing the wind and steering the rudder, that is, not letting them get the news about the defense of the Beijing Division.
If they were loyal enough to the Ming Dynasty, they would definitely kill King Qin of Jingshi at full speed.
If they each have a ghost in their hearts, they will definitely be stuck on the road.
Clearing the complaint is equivalent to Zhu Youzhen testing them, if it is really as said in history, not a single army has appeared in the Beijing Division.
Then, the good days of these people are also over, Zhu Youzhen will definitely not let them go, and resolutely let them disappear from the earth.
