Soon after the imperial court's reward decree was issued, the news of the pacification of the bandits in the Central Plains had been spreading throughout the Beizhili, especially under the propaganda of the Ministry of Rites' "Huangming Times", and it spread all over the world at a rapid speed.

On September 24, the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Jingshi Shenji Battalion was stationed.

At this time, there was a solemn scene on the Great Sect of the Shenji Battalion, and the viewing platform was full of generals of the Beijing camp wearing helmets and armor.

In the big teaching field, the three thousand firecrackers of the Shenji Battalion were practicing martial arts drills, practicing the skills of marching forward in formation and shooting guns in rows.

The firearms of the Shenji Battalion were divided into three platoons, and they kept training and shooting at the targets in front of them.

Looking at the neat and mighty soldiers, Wang Wannian, the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, showed a look of relief on his face, stroked his beard and sighed: "After two years of training, I finally look decent." ”

Since following the crown prince to kill the Tartars two years ago and seeing how fierce the Yongwei Battalion was, Wang Wannian has carefully understood and learned the combat methods of the Yongwei Battalion all the way, and has also privately asked the training methods of the generals of the Yongwei Battalion.

In order to sincerely seek advice, Wang Wannian also asked Huang Degong to go to Wanhualou many times to promote revolutionary friendship, but fortunately, the emperor lived up to the people, and the Huang brothers were very up-to-earth, and told him the training method without reservation.

Zhu Cihong led the army south, and after Wang Wannian took over the self-generated Lu Mi Gong of the War Bureau, he was even more ambitious and wanted to copy a Yongwei battalion.

Zhang Shize, who was invited to the military parade, said: "Lao Wang, you have good training as a soldier, can you also give us a whole batch of self-generated Lu Mi Gong?" ”

Wang Wannian shouted: "Lao Zhang, do you still want it?" Didn't you give you 3,000 last time? ”

Zhang Shize said disdainfully: "It's only 3,000, what is enough?" You also know that there are many people in our Divine Camp......"

Wang Wannian's eyes widened and said, "Only three thousand? This is half a year's output of the War Bureau, you don't know it, I was pitted by the crown prince back then, but I didn't expect him to take away most of the craftsmen of the War Bureau! ”

Zhang Shize said: "Hehe, it's useless to talk about this now, isn't your Shenji Battalion just 3,000 firecrackers, why do you need so many firecrackers?" ”

Wang Wannian sighed and said: "Now that the country is in difficulty, His Majesty only gives so much money and food every month, it is already rare for the Shenji Battalion to maintain three thousand people, and your Shenshu Battalion has not been abolished?" ”

Zhang Shize said: "It's been laid off, and half of the original 70,000 people have been laid off." ”

Chongzhen has also been ruthless recently, using the country's difficulties as an excuse to greatly reduce the amount of food and salary in Beijing, forcing these nobles to disarm themselves, saying that they are disarming, but in fact, they want to shrink the number of nobles who can eat empty salaries.

As the saying goes, there are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom, and in order to make their own interests not benefit and not provoke the emperor, some of the nobles who led the troops directly laid off the living, leaving most of the dummies on the military rolls who ate empty salaries, and there were almost no such noble generals as Wang Wannian and Zhang Shize......

Wang Wannian approached and whispered: "I heard that the crown prince has raised more than 100,000 troops in Jiangnan. ”

Zhang Shize was shocked: "Really fake? I don't know where the crown prince got so much money and food......"

mentioned Zhu Cihong, Wang Wannian suddenly said loudly: "You don't know, after the crown prince led the army south, Brother Huang and they were in the limelight, it's a pity that they didn't follow back then!" ”

When it came to Huang Degong and them, several generals talked for a while, nostalgic for the happy scene of fighting side by side with the Yongwei Battalion to kill the Tartars.

At this moment, a herald suddenly rushed through the gate on horseback, shouting that there was an important event to proclaim.

Wang Wannian frowned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

The herald took a breath and shouted, "General! The Tartar army entered the pass, and Lord Wu, the governor of Jiliao stationed in Miyun, and Lord Lu, the chief soldier, were killed in battle! His Majesty ordered the entire city of Jingshi to be under martial law, and ordered the Shenji Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion to strengthen the defense of Jingshi, and there must be no mistake! ”

Wang Wannian was shocked: "Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiliao, died in battle? The chief soldier Lu Zongwen was also killed? How many people are coming from the Tartars? ”

The herald said: "Claim to be 200,000!" It is said that the Tartar army climbed the mountain for three days and three nights, broke through the pass of the Great Wall from the wall ridge, and now it has reached Miyun! ”

Zhang Shize was surprised: "Miyun...... It's not good, the Tartars will be able to enter the Beijing division in two days, Lao Wang, I have to go back to the camp to prepare, farewell! ”

Zhang Shize hugged his fists, did not wait for Wang Wannian to return the gift, and hurried away.

.......

On September 22, the eleventh year of Chongzhen, 100,000 Qing troops entered the Kou, known as 200,000, and Huang Taiji appointed Dolgon, Prince of Rui, as the general to command the left wing army; Yue Tuo is the general of Yangwu, and the army of the left and right wings invades the south, and Dorobelle Yuetuo is the general of Yangwu, and he commands the right wing army, and Beledudu is the deputy general, and the two armies are at the same time.

Yue Tuo from the north wall of Miyun Ziling, destroy the Great Wall, break the side wall into the edge, Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, and Lu Zongwen, the general soldier, were killed in battle, and the eunuch Zheng Xizhao fled, and the Qing army drove straight into from Miyun and approached the Beijing division.

Qiangziling is located in Miyun east eighty miles, regarded as the last natural barrier to guard the Beijing division, tens of thousands of Qing troops over the mountains and mountains raided the wall, the Ming defenders fought bravely for several days, the cavalry captain Ganjitai broke through the pass and was killed, the general soldier Wu Guojun fled in fear, and Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiliao who came to support, was trapped alone, exhausted and captured.

At that time, Yue Tuo, the owner of the red flag banner, forced Wu Aheng to surrender, Wu Aheng was righteous and awe-inspiring, and generously stated: "I was born as a general of the Ming Dynasty, and I died as a heroic spirit of heaven, and I will never bend my knees!" ”

Annoyed and ashamed, Yue Tuo cut off Wu Aheng's knee bones, smashed his teeth, pulled out his tongue, and finally killed him.

When the news of the Qing army breaking through the customs came, the Beijing division was shaken, and the people were panicked.

Zheng Xizhao, the eunuch who escaped, was worried that the emperor would be held responsible, so he said that he had a birthday at that time, and Wu Aheng came to celebrate his birthday, but he drank high that night, resulting in a surprise attack with poor command, and was broken through the wall by the Tartars, and finally defeated and killed.

Just as the court was discussing Wu Aheng's crime, Wu Aheng's twenty-year-old concubine Zhang Fu Que wrote a letter, expressing her willingness to personally examine the bones of her husband and return to the burial, and ask for mercy for Wu Gong, as usual.

Zhang's body was dressed in sackcloth, and after several twists and turns, she finally found Wu Aheng's body, she found that her husband's kneecaps were scraped off, his teeth were shattered, he shook off half of his strength, and his tongue no longer existed.

Zhang sighed with grief at Wu Aheng's body: "Oh my God! You have to die! ”

Later, Zhang's single-handedly reported to the imperial court to correct Wu Aheng's name, clarify the rumors, and strive for the respect he deserved.

After Chongzhen learned about it, Long Yan was furious and ordered a strict investigation, after some investigation, Wu Aheng did not go to celebrate his birthday that day, and it was Wu Guojun of the general soldier who went to celebrate his birthday.

The eunuch Zheng Xizhao and Wu Aheng have always had a grudge, and they were afraid of being held accountable, so they framed Wu Aheng, and the truth of the Miyun War came out.

Wu Guojun was drunk that day, heard that the Qing army was approaching, fled without a fight, Wu Aheng, who led the troops to support, resisted the enemy alone, he jumped on his horse and waved his sword, and fought with the Qing army for several days and nights, until the sky was dark, the corpses were piled up like a mountain, without fear, how could the enemy be outnumbered and the reinforcements did not come, Wu Aheng finally ran out of food and was captured.

Chongzhen was furious and ordered that the eunuch Deng Xizhao, the chief soldier Wu Guojun and others in Miyun Town, be executed, and Wu Aheng was buried by the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites commended him.
