After Empress Zhou received the news that the crown prince had woken up, she rushed from Qianqing Palace to Kunning Palace as soon as possible.

Looking at Zhu Cihong's cheeks and godless eyes, Queen Zhou silently shed tears of heartache.

She comforted softly: "Prince, your father is also for your good, worried about your safety, the queen mother knows that you have the ability, but the Yongwei battalion in your hands is only 5,000 people, and the new battalion outside the city has just been trained, and it will take a long time to become a combatable soldier, what do you use to resist the army of Jiannu?" ”

Zhu Cihong didn't say anything, he knew that it was useless to tell Queen Zhou about this, so he had to say: "I heard the emperor's sister say that my father fainted, what's wrong?" ”

Empress Zhou sighed and said: "The Emperor of the Apocalypse's Tomb was burned down by Jiannu, your father and emperor have fainted after getting the news, and your imperial aunt is also clamoring to commit suicide." ”

After Zhu Cihong heard this, his fingers clenched, and he burned the imperial tomb, which only this kind of beast army can do. In the past dynasties, only the ignorant and barbaric army did this kind of thing, the Mongolian soldiers who burned the Western Xia Emperor's Mausoleum in the past, the Jin soldiers who burned the Northern Song Dynasty Emperor's Mausoleum, and now there are this Manchu Jiannu!

Then Empress Zhou took Zhu Cihong to the Qianqing Palace, and several imperial doctors were observing the whole process around Emperor Chongzhen, and from time to time they were on the phone.

Zhu Cihong opened his mouth and asked, "Imperial Doctor, how is his Father, Your Majesty?" ”

The imperial doctor arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has a convulsion, and you have to rest for a few days before you can wake up." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, looked at the sleeping Chongzhen, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart. Subsequently, he left the Qianqing Palace in the name of visiting the imperial aunt and came to the Duanben Palace.

Zhang Yan, the empress of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the originally beautiful and kind mother of the country, has cried into tears at this moment, and has been talking about the first emperor and Deling, which makes Zhu Cihong heartbroken.

Zhu Cihong clasped his hands tightly and said, "I will let this group of clear dogs die without a place to be buried!" ”

After going in to appease Empress Zhang for a while, Zhu Cihong left Duanben Palace, he did not return to Qianqing Palace, but went straight to the Yongwei camp out of the palace.

Of course, he didn't take the opportunity to seize power, that would be too unrealistic, tantamount to suicide. Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen only suffered from a coma due to the stimulation of his brain nerves, and he had no worries about his life at all.

Zhu Cihong wanted to take advantage of his coma for a few days to lead his troops out of the city to meet the enemy.

In the camp of the Imperial City Brave Guard.

Zhu Cihong was dressed in a golden battle armor carved with a five-clawed golden dragon, draped in a red drape, and sat on the main seat of the Chinese army's big tent.

All the generals of the Yongwei Battalion, including Lu Jiude and Liu Yuanbin, as well as Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan, as well as several guerrilla generals, Qian Zong and all the generals, gathered in the big tent at this time.

All the generals were dressed in fine armor, wearing cloud-winged helmets, belts around their waists, hanging swords, with majestic expressions, standing under the big tent, quietly waiting for Zhu Cihong's orders.

Zhu Cihong stood up, swept around the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "The slaves and thieves are burning, killing and looting all over Gyeonggi, doing all kinds of evil, should I fight as the Son of Heaven's own army?" ”

"Fight! War! War! ”

All the generals of the Yongwei battalion raised their arms and shouted, and for a while, the armor leaves in the big tent were shining and clanging, and the arms of the generals were exposed from time to time with bright red python suits.

They are gearing up one by one, with a heroic self-confidence, ready to fight at any time, Zhu Cihong nodded secretly, and continued: "There is no holy decree in this palace, can the generals still be willing to follow me out of the city to meet the enemy?" ”

Everyone hesitated, as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, they have always obeyed the emperor's orders, although the crown prince bravely guarded the camp, they were also convinced, but there was no emperor's order to dispatch, which made them a little difficult at this time.

Sun Yingyuan was the first to step forward and arched his hand: "The last general is willing to follow His Highness, shed the last drop of blood for the Ming Dynasty, and for His Highness!" ”

Zhu Cihong was worried that this would happen, so he first asked Sun Yingyuan and Liu Yuanbin to be transferred from Xincheng, just so that they could support them.

Sun Yingyuan was transferred from a second-rank Beijing camp general to the East Palace Warden Military Bureau by the crown prince as a five-rank bureau lang and concurrently served as the head of the East Palace Guard, from the perspective of official rank, he was demoted, but he knew in his heart that this was an opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step.

In addition, he has followed Zhu Cihong for so long, and he has admired the ability of this crown prince, so Sun Yingyuan unconditionally obeys the decision of this crown prince.

Sun Yingyuan came out and stood up, but Liu Yuanbin hesitated, he was a eunuch who came down from the celebrant eunuch, and he was still loyal to the emperor in his heart.

Liu Yuanbin's hesitation made Zhu Cihong look at it, but there was no expression on his face, just looked at the generals in the camp calmly, and the scene was a little boring for a while.

At this time, Huang Degong jumped out to break the strange atmosphere and said: "Your Highness, you have a word, my old Huang was the first to copy the knife and chop the dog's Azig!" ”

Lu Jiude also came out and said, "Your Highness, you give the order!" We are willing to die for the Ming Dynasty! ”

The chief general and the supervising army all expressed their positions, and the rest of the generals also followed suit, expressing their willingness to die for the Ming Dynasty.

When he arrived here, Zhu Cihong finally relieved his heart and said loudly: "Order, the whole battalion of the Yongwei battalion will immediately enter a state of combat readiness and be ready to send troops at any time!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In this era, the Qing soldiers came to the village, which is equivalent to the devils of later generations, and there are more than that.

Comparing the devil with the Qing soldiers at this time, it seems that there is a feeling of whitewashing the devils, the devils burned, killed and looted, and the Qing soldiers not only occupied them, but also took the Ming people away as slaves.

When the news of the loss of Changping was announced, although many people had this mental preparation, it still caused a panic among the military and civilians of the Beijing Division.

Many people in the Beijing camp have experienced the change of their own lives, that is, in the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led a large army to attack the Ming Dynasty and directly hit the city of Beijing. Although the Ming army finally relieved the crisis in the capital, the scene of the Jiannu army looting in Gyeonggi is still vivid.

Many people have fought with Jiannu and know how powerful Jiannu is, so they are scared in their hearts.

The street leading to Xizhimen was quieter at once, and suddenly from the east came the sound of a large orderly procession of troops.

Many people thought they had heard it wrong, but after listening carefully, the sound was getting closer and closer, and from time to time there was a burst of "Wansheng" sound, which made the whole city tremble.

Many people in Beijing were a little curious, although they didn't know where the army came from, but it should be the Ming army when they heard the shouts.

In the eyes of many people, a red red dragon flag finally appeared on Xizhimen Street, and under this huge dragon flag, a team of troops dressed in iron armor marched forward in an orderly manner.

It was a long phalanx, lined up in a phalanx of pikemen and musketeers holding their weapons on their shoulders and striding proudly, spears and guns like a forest of fire, like a moving castle.

"Wow! Wow! Wow! ”

Every step of the soldiers in this giant phalanx was neat, accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps.

In the middle of the phalanx, Zhu Cihong was wearing golden armor, wearing a bright red cloak, riding a horse, and around him were the generals of the Yongwei battalion and a large group of cavalry.

The cavalrymen in iron armor stuck their guns in their saddles, and when they looked up, the length of their spears was the same, forming a dense and mighty forest of guns, and the rumbling of iron hooves was constant.

After the cavalry, it was the infantry of the Yongwei battalion, marching neatly one by one, which made the people of the capital even more stunned, this army exuded such a compelling sharpness, they had never seen it.

Only some old people faintly recalled that they had seen such an army in the capital more than fifty years ago.

That is the army led by a general surnamed Qi when he entered Beijing to offer prisoners, the strict order and sharpness of that army are very similar to the team in front of him, which is unforgettable at first sight, that army seems to be called - Qi Family Army!

Today's Yongwei Battalion naturally cannot be compared with the Qi Army, which has 4,000 soldiers and has won a hundred battles since it became an army, with a total of 150,000 enemy heads, which is the strongest army in East Asia in the past two centuries.

The Qi family army walked out of the sea of corpses and blood, and the kind of powerful and murderous military appearance contained in it was not comparable to the current Yongwei Battalion.

The people on both sides of Xizhimen Street are talking to each other, and their enthusiasm is high, and there is such a powerful army in the capital, and many people are relieved in their hearts, it seems that there is no problem in holding the capital. Maybe it's not just about defending the city, but it's also a problem to repel the Jiannu.

As the army passed, the people on both sides of the street shouted at the army, and the tidal wave of cheers rose higher and higher.

In the face of the shouts and praises of the people, the neat footsteps of the Yongwei battalion did not change at all, they held their heads high, their eyes did not take their eyes off, and the footsteps of the march were still so neat, which aroused the enthusiasm of everyone.
