Chapter 158: Emperor Chongzhen's Anger (Today's Fourth Update, Add More for the Alliance Leader!) )
Dongyu broke through the wall again!
It took only one day from September 26 to break the wall on several roads to the time when the news reached the capital, because of the lesson of the Dongyu erosion of Gyeonggi at the beginning of the year, and the burning and looting everywhere, as soon as the news came out, the people of dozens of miles near the capital took refuge in the city.
Although the Dongyu then went all the way south from Tongzhou, and now even killed the Huai River, the capital is still heavily guarded.
On the night of the first day of the twelfth month of Chongzhen, about the second watch, the streets in the capital have been quiet, and the cold wind of early winter blows, only looking particularly gloomy and desolate. At the intersections of important streets, soldiers stood to check the occasional passerby. Red silk lanterns hang outside the doors of every house, and the lights are dimly lit and swaying under the eaves. In the dim light, you can see large street posters posted on the walls of each street entrance. In the narrow and long streets and alleys, there are often groomers carrying small lanterns, beating broken gongs or bangs, and the shadow of the shrunken appears and disappears into the darkness; The slow, listless sound of gongs or bangs faded away in the wind.
Since Chongzhen's ascension, in the past twelve years, Jiannu has entered the fortress five times, and even this is the fourth time that he has approached the capital, and even at the beginning of the year, Jiannu has just entered the fortress, why did he come so quickly. At this time, the fire outside the city was raging, there were soldiers and horses patrolling the city, and it was forbidden to walk at night, whether it was in the courtyard of the deep house or in the brick houses of the civilians, there was a sigh everywhere.
What's going on in the world?
Why did this Dongyu enter the Great Wall again and threaten the capital.
Fortunately, the high walls of the capital city are solid, otherwise it would ...... But what if the East Capture is defeated?
Worried, everybody's worried.
But for those who fled to the capital, the victims and refugees were even more tormented. In the past two months, more than 100,000 people have fled from all over the country, and there is nowhere to shelter them, and many people have slept under the eaves on both sides of the street, huddled together for fear of freezing to death. They shivered in the biting cold wind, groaning, whining, and lamenting. The northeast wind is blowing tonight, the weather is very cold, and I don't know how many people will freeze to death this night......
At night, Chongzhen in the imperial city was also in a very heavy mood, although he was still a young man less than twenty-eight years old, but there were already a few deep crow's feet at the corners of his small eyes, and his eye sockets were also a little dark. The long period of overwork, combined with the melancholy mood, made his face pale and haggard.
For several nights, he didn't sleep well, and today he went to court with five drums, and he was tired for a long time, and he had been reading documents in the Qianqing Palace in the afternoon. When his grandfather and elder brother were emperors, they did not go to court all year round, did not look at the ministers' recitals, and handed over all major state affairs to the eunuchs of their cronies to deal with.
Today, he didn't leave the Imperial Case for a whole afternoon.
On his imperial case, what is the mountain of military urgency?
It was Dongyu who entered Gyeonggi again.
The Qing soldiers broke the wall from September 26 to enter the pass, threatening the capital, and then from Liangxiang to Zhuozhou, divided into many ways to go deep: one route out of Yizhou from Laishui, one route from Xincheng out of Xiong County, one route from Dingxing out of Ansu, there is a siege of Baoding.
After getting the news, Chongzhen was naturally shocked. Prior to this, Shandong had reported that Donglu might enter the customs, but at that time, he chose to ignore it, but Donglu really came, not only came, but now he even killed all the way to Nanzhili.
"How can they go it alone? Aren't you afraid that the soldiers and horses will be demolished by the Ming Dynasty? ”
Chongzhen, who was full of sadness, said to himself in his heart. But he himself knows the answer, but such an answer is something he is unwilling to face, or even want to think. Thinking of the "All Officials Are Exempt" written on the sign, he blushed for the officials and soldiers, when did the Ming officials and soldiers actually get mixed up with this!
"Didn't they just leave at the beginning of the year? How do you come and go? ”
Thinking that the Donglu broke through the wall and entered the customs again, they did not want to hold an armed demonstration in the territory of Daming, and everywhere the Donglu went, the people were all killed, and the place was rotten and lifeless. Thinking of the unknown number of people who were either killed or taken captive, Chongzhen's mood became extremely irritated.
"How good is it that the captives go deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains like this, like entering a no-man's land!"
Chongzhen, who was distraught, finally threw the pen in his hand to the ground, and then walked around the palace, pausing and sighing from time to time.
"Alas, how can this be, could it be that from now on, Dongyu has regarded Daming as a hunting ground, and he can't hunt here every year? Yuan Chonghuan, the indiscriminate killing of my important ministers, is really damned! ”
Chongzhen thought of Yuan Chonghuan again, and said in his heart that he would push all his grievances on him, if he didn't kill Mao Wenlong, there would be no bonds, and how could Jiannu, who had no worries, dare to break through the wall and enter the customs at will! How could the millions of people in Gyeonggi be brutally killed by the Dongyu.
But after all, these are people who have been dead for many years, so what's the point of complaining?
Now the most important thing is to quickly drive out the Dongyu who crossed the Huai River, and never let them break the central capital, but he was relieved when he thought that the central capital city was fortified.
It shouldn't be able to beat the middle capital!
"There are more than 100,000 horses in it, and it should be foolproof! Shi Kefa can be regarded as a cadre......"
Thinking of the emergency military information sent by Shi Kefaxin, Chongzhen couldn't help but worry.
"Nothing will happen there!"
Unfolding Shi Kefa's secret recital, Chongzhen's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he even said angrily.
"Zhu Ciying, Zhu Ciying, you are so domineering, you actually kill officials and take the army, such as, let me do this, how, how can I tolerate you!"
Shi Kefa's secret recital, one by one, shows many things since Zhu Ciying, the prince of the German domain, led the troops south, from killing the county to extort money and grain, to killing the general to seize the official army for his own use, all kinds of behaviors are simply "the heart of disobedience is clearly revealed".
"Is it true that I believe in the sect by mistake?"
Chongzhen's face looked extremely ugly, thinking that he had "exceptionally appointed" Zhu Ciying would be so ambitious, how could he not be annoyed.
In fact, he is also extremely concerned about De Shizi's every move since he went south, and he has been waiting for the opportunity to give him the opportunity to punish him.
Now, the reason should be sufficient!
"Zhu Ciying, you disappointed me too much, do you really think that Daming has no national law?"
Chongzhen, who was angry, directly commanded the internal officials.
"Bring a few ministers over, I want them to see what this so-called clan meritocracy looks like!"
