Chapter 669: Return to Beijing
It was April and May, the south was already the season for the grass warbler to fly, it was not surprising that there was heavy snow outside the pass, and it was normal for future generations to snow in Beijing City, not to mention that Daming was in the Xiaoice period at this time, and the temperature was much higher than that after more than four hundred years, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Early in the morning, there were people in Beijing who secretly scolded the broken weather, the sleet was cold, and some people felt incredible, a few days ago, the sun was shining and cloudless, and it was shocking to hear that the Qing army entered the customs and immediately became cloudy, rain and snow fell, and it felt that it was secretly in line with the will of heaven, but most of the people felt that the rain was very good, and there was less rain in successive years, and the crops were less harvested, so it should be more.
But seeing that the summer harvest is coming, the damned Tartar soldiers have entered the customs to harm again, everyone in the capital is in danger, sweeping away the dance when the thief army retreated a few days ago, feeling how the world is so difficult, just drove away the wolf and came to the tiger, and some people secretly pray that the court will quickly transfer the eunuch who extinguishes the fire, and he is steadfast in his heart, otherwise how to resist the Tartars with these wine bags and rice bags in the capital, the people outside the city will be harmed, if the capital is broken, the Ming will be finished.
The Qing army entered the customs, the military situation was urgent, this time the imperial court responded relatively quickly, ordered the soldiers and horses near Gyeonggi to go to fill the pit, and urgently dispatched Chang Yu to lead the troops back to King Qin, and at the same time notified the people of several counties around the capital to take emergency refuge, or go south or into the mountains or enter the city, for a time the surrounding people were panicked, and they dragged their families and left their hometowns for fear that they would be plundered by the Tartars and make their families ruined.
For a time, the nine gates of the capital were bustling outside, the surrounding people flocked to block the city gates, Wang Jiayan, the governor of the Beijing camp, sent officers and soldiers to maintain order at the city gates, and the soldiers and horses of the cities were also busy, so many refugees poured in at once, and the pressure on public security and health in the city increased sharply.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way" at noon outside the Yongding Gate a hundred cavalry, immediately the knights are all burly and fierce faces, waving the whip in their hands to drive away the crowd, and even once drew a knife to intimidate, the people outside the city are frightened and dodge to make way of a passage, and curse in a low voice that these soldiers will not be able to fight, they will bully the common people.
Because the Qing soldiers were approaching, the city defense was on first-level alert, and seeing that a cavalry was coming, the defenders of Yongdingmen were like a great enemy, so they hurriedly sent people to check, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that it was the officers and soldiers: "Brother, where did you come ......from?"
Before the words fell, I suddenly saw the person in front of me take out his waist card and flashed, although it was so short for a moment, he could clearly see the four big words of "East Investigation Factory" on it, and hurriedly shouted to the people to give way, and trotted forward to open the way.
Seeing this cavalry entering the city far away, his colleague said with a smile: "Whose person, such a sycophant" The man covered his chest in Dongchang: "If it is not bad, it should be that the little overseer of Dongchang has returned" Everyone was dumbfounded.
The city is still prosperous, the traffic is congested, and the guards are shouting and shouting in front of the road, if they are in normal times, they will stop it, but now they have the military situation in mind, and they are more than 100 horsemen rushing all the way towards the imperial city.
When he first arrived at the front door, Chunxiang had been waiting for a long time, and he didn't have time to get off the horse and the two ran side by side towards Daming Gate, Chang Yu looked anxious: "Where is the Qing army?" How did they come here unconsciously, Wu Sangui knows if he knows, what about Tang Tong......"
A series of questions were thrown over, which made Chunxiang overwhelmed, so he had to smile bitterly: "Wu Sangui doesn't know if this fashion is not known, and I don't know how the Qing army came over, but what can be known is that the Qing army has reached Huairou, and Tang Tong's men and horses have arrived in Pinggu day and night, and they should be able to meet with the Qing army soon......"
"It's been two days since I entered the customs with the Tartar, and no one has stopped me? Have the people and horses in Changping been transferred? Chang Yu looked angry. Chunxiang sighed: "Big brother, don't you know what the officers and soldiers here in Beijing are, Gubeikou is such a dangerous pass, the Qing army took it in less than half a day, the defenders scattered in a hurry, and the Tartars rested at the pass for a day, and no one dared to take a step forward from the officers and soldiers around the Tartar to rest at the pass for a day......"
Fuck, Chang Yu couldn't help but scold, and remembered that the five times the Qing army entered the customs in history, every time it was a shame for the Ming army, it was shameless and incompetent to the extreme.
"As for the Ma Ke of Changping, it is estimated that he was also beaten out of the shadow by the Qing army, he is closer than Tang Tong, but he has just moved his nest in the past two days, I am afraid that Tang Tong will not dare to go up and do it alone......" Chunxiang continued with a look of disdain.
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Ma Ke? Ma Ke, one of the eight general soldiers who followed Hong Chengchou to participate in the Songjin War a few years ago? ”
"But who is he?" Chunxiang snorted.
Chang Yu fell into contemplation, the Songjin War, Hong Chengchou almost transferred all the elites of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the eight general soldiers, but after the first battle, they were almost killed and wounded, and the dead surrendered, and at this time the living ones were Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, and Ma Ke, but Bai Guangen was captured by Chang Yusheng after the thief, and it is estimated that he will not live long.
Ma Ke is also a fierce general, dare to fight, has never been cowardly, known as only this Cao Bianjiao, Cao Bianjiao is Cao Wenzhao's nephew collectively known as Cao, in the late Ming Dynasty are all twesome and shining generals, and they are equally famous to see the courage of Ma Ke.
However, the Songjin War when the Ming army was defeated in the first battle of Tashan, the number of gas outside the pass was near, Wang Pu, who took the lead in escaping at that time, was beheaded, Ma Ke made a military order to avoid death, Chongzhen fifteen years of the Qing army entered the customs for the fifth time after the Songjin War, Ma Ke led the troops to resist the defeat, last year led the troops into Beijing, Chongzhen for the few remaining generals, gave him a banquet, and ordered him to go with the cabinet scholar Wu Fu Nanzheng, after not being able to do it, and then his nationality was unknown, so that Chang Yu rarely heard of his name, now at first glance, a little surprised.
In history, Ma Keben accompanied Li Jiantai on behalf of the emperor in March of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and then surrendered to Li Zicheng after the fall of Beijing, and then rebelled against the Qing Dynasty......
"Fortunately, if he is not disabled, now is the time to employ people, and it is also a good helper to clean up" Chang Yu took a long breath, and explained to Chunxiang that he should keep an eye on the movements of the Qing army at any time and report at any time.
"All the people at hand are free, not only from Dongchang, including Jinyiwei and Jingying, but also with no less than 100 shares......"
Between the two of them talking, they have arrived in front of the Daming Gate, turned over and dismounted, in front of them is a thousand steps corridor can not be a horse, everyone dismounts and walks towards the palace in a hurry, and the guards go to the yamen of the government military guard to rest, the yamen of the east factory of more than 100 people can not be put down.
When I first arrived at Chengtianmen (Tiananmen), several eunuchs trotted to luggage: "Father-in-law Chang, the emperor is waiting for you at Huangji Gate (first Fengtianmen, now Taihemen)......"
Chang Yu snorted, and Chunxiang walked inside, muttering in his heart, Chongzhen usually deals with government affairs in Qianqingmen, and only major government affairs are in Huangji Gate...... Hey, it looks like he's in a state of turmoil right now.
Emperor Chongzhen was not only confused at this time, it was simply a hot pot which ant was restless, and convened the cabinet ministers to discuss the countermeasures overnight, on the surface it seemed to be calm, but in fact, he was extremely panicked in his heart, thinking that Chang Yu was born out of thin air to break the prince's nightmare and change the world, but this sudden change made him frightened, the mandate of heaven cannot be violated, and the sky will definitely destroy my Daming?
This time he was really scared, because Gyeonggi was empty and there were almost no defenders. During these two days, he had almost no sleep, and asked Jinyiwei and Dongchang to report on the movements of the Qing army and where Chang Yu had arrived every two hours.
At this time, after several months of cleaning and blood exchange in the court, the atmosphere has also changed greatly, although there are still many people who eat and wait for death, watch the fire from the other side, and eat vegetarian food, but several backbones are loyal to the monarch and the country, such as the first assistant Li Banghua, the second assistant Wu Fu, Li Mingrui of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Wang Jiayan, the governor of Beijing, and others are all monarchs and ministers, and they can always agree on the general direction.
"Your Majesty, the Governor of Dongchang, Chang Gonggong, asks to see you" A eunuch started playing softly outside the door.
"Let him come in" Emperor Chongzhen, who was discussing with a group of courtiers in the hall with a sad face, heard this, and got up excitedly, and the ministers also subconsciously got up and looked around, which showed the weight of Chang Yu, the little eunuch, at this time.
Although most of them still disdain or even despise Chang Yu's identity in their hearts, they have to admit the ability of this little eunuch, pointing where to fight, and who to win.
