Chapter 691: Death
Emperor Chongzhen frowned and was silent, he knew that Chang Yu used the Tartars to besiege the city at this time to force those nobles to donate, but it was always not good to make people's hearts panic, but once the Tartars left, they plundered everywhere, and they couldn't catch up, and they might not be able to catch up, and Chang Yu mobilized the men and horses in the south to arrange the encirclement, but it was not in place, he had to deliberately provoke Dolgon to hang him near the capital, and then take action after the various departments were in place.
"I wanted to hurt and cripple him, but I let him show off his might outside the city, and insult him in every way, I heard that he is still killing people outside the city...... Hey, I can't wait to go out of the city and kill these inhuman wretched creatures! ”
"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, look at his arrogant days, and when the minister is arranged to collect the net, he will not be spared" Chang Yu sighed: "It's not that the minister lets him do anything wrong, but he is really incompetent, the Beijing camp in the city is not of great use, and the people who can fight are only the four battalions of Dongchang, and some people and horses can go out of the city to stab the knife, and if you want to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, you can't, otherwise you don't need the emperor's words, the minister has already killed out of the city and captured Dolgon alive, and now he can only deliberately provoke the Tartars, hang him here to wait for Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji's soldiers and horses are in place, but they can also practice training by the way, Otherwise, Jingying will be abolished."
"Is Jingying really that unbearable?" Chongzhen frowned, and Chang Yu nodded slightly: "It's even more unbearable than the emperor expected, simply put, there are no incapable soldiers in the Gyeonggi area at this time."
"Ma Ke, it's not okay with Tang Tong, didn't Tang Tong fight side by side with you, he ...... Doesn't work? Chongzhen suddenly felt cold, and even couldn't help but shiver.
Chang Yu shook his head: "I heard that Ma Ke is good at fighting, but the minister has never seen it, but its soldiers and horses are less, yesterday has been reported back to Changping, the minister only hopes that he can hold Changping without losing it is a fortunate thing, do not ask him to lead troops to help, as for Tang Zongbing is indeed a loyal and brave general, conscientious and hard-working, the combat power is also higher than the introspective troops, but it is slightly inferior to the Tartar cavalry, more importantly, this incident happened suddenly, he and the minister did not communicate, I don't know the minister's plan, at this time was forced into Pinggu County, may not dare to come out, However, it is good for him to stay in Pinggu, and he can be assisted by closing the net, and he can block the Tartars' retreat with Mako."
Chang Yu commented, the head was the way, and Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "If Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji's men and horses fight against the Tartars, what are the chances of winning?" Chang Yu was silent for a while: "The combat power is insufficient, but the blood is more than enough, Zhou and Huang are the Zhenhai Divine Needles of the Ming Dynasty at the moment, and at present, except for Wu Sangui's people outside the Guan, only the two of them can be with the Tartars."
Emperor Chongzhen tilted his head and glanced at Chang Yu: "Isn't the Zhenhai Divine Needle of the Ming Dynasty you?" ”
Chang Yu grinned: "What kind of god is the minister, the minister is just a royal servant, the Ming Dynasty still needs these loyal and brave generals to go to the soup, may the emperor treat him well, at the moment he can be willing to contribute, and there are very few people who can be effective."
Chongzhen snorted: "I don't know how many people in the government and the opposition are waiting for my old Zhu family to be destroyed......" I wanted to say that it was still a rest, so I changed the topic: "I just asked you how sure you are, as you said, the combat strength of Zhou and Huang is still insufficient, do you want to urgently order Wu Sangui to enter the customs and return to the army......"
"No, there is still a little strength after thousands of miles of travel", Chang Yu decisively refused: "Your Majesty, many times the march and war do not rely on troops and combat power, but precisely blood, that is, the so-called morale, when the soldiers can work together and regard death as home, it is not surprising that the weak defeat the strong with the outnumbered enemy, not to mention that the ministers fight, rarely hard, and more tricks."
Chongzhen laughed when he heard this: "I have heard a lot of your tricks, and it is really enjoyable."
The sky is getting dark, the two monarchs and ministers are not afraid of the wind and cold gossiping on the top of the mountain, the smoke in the city is everywhere, and the lights of the Qing army camp in the north can be vaguely seen outside the city, Wang Chenen stood aside, seeing Chongzhen sweeping away the haze, is it a hearty smile, suddenly relieved, looked at the little eunuch, and admired it in his heart, this son is young but talented, and his nominal position in the palace is slightly inferior to himself, but in fact, the reputation and status of the government and the opposition are far inferior to him.
The Qing army camp in the north of the city, Dolgon ordered to withdraw the troops in the south of the city and return to the camp to rest, it is really bad today, and he wanted to besiege the city and demonstrate but he was disgraced and lost face.
Looking at the lanterns on the imperial capital city from afar, Dolgon hated so much that his teeth itched, and the little eunuchs successively used treacherous tricks, playing their own tricks, not only swept their faces, but also injured many soldiers, in the face of the extremely hateful, even more depressed, the soldiers sent out to plunder the harvest were meager, and the people around the capital for more than ten miles had either entered the city to hide or went away, ten rooms and nine empty so that they got very little.
"Lord, as I see from my humble position, tomorrow I will pull out the camp and leave, although the Gyeonggi army is empty, there is nothing to take, if I go south or east early, this place should not stay for a long time" Kong Youde, the most warlike among the kings of Sanshun, proposed, and all the generals seconded it.
Duoduo looked at the beard: "The morning of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as in the past, the natural disasters and man-made disasters in successive years can be described as poverty, we will come to harvest every few years, the north of the Yellow River has been plundered by us, and the year is not as good as a year, but the capital in front of him, said hehe smiled, if it can be broken, the gain can be one enemy ten, one hundred enemies!" ”
This is a good thing to say, and the generals also agree, but it is embarrassing that although I want to eat this meat, I can't eat it, because I don't have the ability to fight it down at this time!
Dolgon didn't know that Jiangnan was rich but couldn't cross it, although the north was barren but within reach, ant legs were also meat, and some of them were good to eat in these years, and what else to pick, the capital couldn't be beaten, so he decided to leave tomorrow.
But where to go? The generals discussed, go west to Shanxi to pass through Juyong Pass and other hundreds of miles of lofty mountains, directly to the south there are Ming court heavy troops, think about it, or take the old road, along the capital to the east sweep to Tangshan south to Tianjin into Hebei south to Shandong......
After some agreement, Dorgon ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate, and to-morrow the camp to the east, and ordered Azig and Nikan to set out tomorrow, not more than thirty miles after him.
At the beginning of the night, it was not sultry at all, at the head of the Dongbianmen City, Chang Yu squinted into the distance, and it was dark and difficult to reach two miles, he was worried about whether Panjiayao was also poisoned by the Qing army, and the people in the village had fled, and the treasures in the palace buried there before should not be discovered by the Qing army...... It's a little ridiculous to think about it, but in case the city breaks the national treasure, it was taken to bury the treasures in the palace, but at this time, it ......
"General Zhou's men and horses have been in place" Chang Yu looked at the torches shaking in the distance outside the city, knowing that it was a spy of the Qing army, and asked Hu Ling next to him.
"Back to the Governor, the Tartars are intercepting outside the city, and we can't get over," Hu Ling said softly.
Chang Yu sighed, then he didn't speak, and after taking a look at the north of the city, he said to Wang Jiayan and Tang Potian: "You two each choose a thousand-person death squad, and the Beijing camp and the personal guards will either be famous in the world or stinky and will fight tonight."
"Death squads?" Wang Jiayan looked shocked, and Chang Yu nodded heavily: "That's right, seeing death as home, there is the kind that goes and has no return!" ”
Both gritted their teeth and were silent!
"Regardless of life or death, one hundred taels per person! The families of the war dead are raised by the imperial court" Chang Yu's tone was light, and Tu Yuan said loudly: "Governor, the Black Tiger Battalion is not afraid of death, leave this life to us", the commanders of the four battalions all shouted for war.
"How can Jingying be all greedy for life and afraid of death" Wang Jiayan shouted angrily and threw his hand away, Tang Potian looked at Chang Yu and said: "If I really die in battle, remember to raise my wife, and also, I represent not the government guards, but the emperor's twenty-six personal guards!" ”
Chang Yu stroked his shoulder: "A word is a certainty, I will fight side by side with you, live and die together!" ”
The night is getting deeper, the people live in peace under the lights of thousands of homes, although the Tartar soldiers outside the city besiege the city, the people are panicked, but after all, the family is happy to reunite, who knows that the little eunuch in the city is sending troops to form a death squad to attack the Qing army camp at night.
The people in the city burned incense and worshiped the Buddha and begged the Tartar soldiers to leave quickly, but the little eunuch tried his best to provoke the Qing army and not let them leave, and even risked his way out of the city.
Where did you come from so many years of quietness, it's just that someone is carrying the weight for you.
