Chapter 671 - Moving the Old Book
As soon as Chang Yu came out of the Huangji Gate, he saw a young man rushing in the distance, but it was the crown prince Zhu Cihong, who grabbed him and said with teary eyes: "The Tartar is here."
"If you come, him," Chang Yu pretended to be relaxed.
Zhu Cihong burst into tears like rain: "But did you beat him?" Seeing him look like this, Chang Yu knew that the atrocities of the Qing army entering the customs several times had caused a great psychological shadow on this child, and he comforted: "Outside the customs, he was beaten to his grandson, and he was killed in minutes when he arrived at the door of our house!" ”
"But I heard that they entered the customs several times before, and our people ......" Zhu Cihong tried to restrain his emotions while wiping his tears, Chang Yu interrupted him: "That was before, not now, our family is not that kind of waste."
Zhu Cihong's mind calmed down slightly: "What are your plans now, I heard that the Tartars have arrived in Huairou territory......"
Chang Yu sighed and patted Zhu Cihong on the shoulder: "Your Highness, what are our family's plans for now...... It's just a good meal, and this way I ran with a dry mouth, a grunting stomach, and I was dying of hunger."
"Go to the palace, what do you want to eat" Zhu Cihong burst into tears and laughed, pulling Chang Yu away.
Chang Yu's legs were weak and he dragged him away, and asked the eunuchs next to him to immediately go to the yamen of the guards everywhere to order the commanders of the guards to go to the Dongchang yamen to give orders.
In the Duanben Palace, the imperial chefs made a table of rich dishes as quickly as possible, with all the fish and meat, Chang Yu feasted without caring about the image, he was really hungry.
Zhu Cihong and he haven't seen him for a long time, there are too many things to say, asking east and west next to him, Zhu Cihong, who Chang Yu is talking and listening while eating, his eyebrows are dancing, and at this time, Gong Yonggu asked to see him outside the door, this is their good partner, please enter the hall urgently.
Gong Yonggu heard that he was only one step away from capturing and killing the thief, and sighed for a long time and couldn't let go, Chang Yu comforted: "There are Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie who intercept them before and after, lure them with heavy profits, or have unexpected gains."
Gong Yonggu smiled bitterly, he had also heard of those two goods, and he was embarrassed to reuse them with the temptation! Then ask what to do now.
"Guerrilla warfare, at the moment there are more than 10,000 men and horses of Tang Tong and Ma Ke at hand, and a part of the elite will be transferred from the Beijing camp and personal guards to drag the Qing soldiers first, and then wait for Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong, and Li Yan's three groups of reinforcements to surround and annihilate them."
"It's light, Zhou Yuji's three people and horses have just gone through a big battle, and they have traveled a long distance to help, and the soldiers are tired and tired for a while, and they are embarrassed to be useful, not to mention that the Qing army is cavalry, coming and going like the wind, whether it can be stopped, and it is still a matter of saying it" Gong Yonggu sighed.
Chang Yu looked relaxed: "The master of the horse is clear, why don't you lead the troops to fight with our family another day" Gong Yonggu hurriedly shook his hand: "Father-in-law Chang, don't harm me, no, to be precise, it is harmful to the emperor, the ancestors and horses are not allowed to participate in politics and take charge of the army......"
"It's got it, our family just said it, as for being able to block it, he still has to beat it to know" Chang Yu wiped his mouth after eating and drinking: "The military situation is urgent, our family can't chat here" Saying that, he got up and retired, and said to Zhu Cihong: "The war is all about money and food, go back and take out your private money quickly."
Zhu Cihong patted his chest: "As long as the tartar is beaten away, it will sell this end of the palace, and the palace will not blink an eyelid."
Chang Yu said with a smile: "Your Highness dares to buy it" Saying that, he turned around and left, Zhu Cihong caught up: "Can you go to this palace together" Chang Yu thought for a while: "It's okay, the master of the horse is interested in taking a look at the excitement together."
The three of them went straight to the south out of the Duanben Palace, and when they passed by Wenyuan Pavilion, it happened that Li Banghua and other bigwigs were returning from the Huangji Gate, and when they saw Chang Yu hesitating to say hello, they saw the little eunuch hurriedly passing by.
Hmph, Zhu Cihong glanced at Wenyuan Pavilion and sneered: "Four halls and two pavilions...... A bunch of rice buckets" Gong Yonggu frowned when he heard this: "Shh, Your Highness can't talk nonsense."
Chang Yu turned his head and smiled: "A war may be a rice bucket, but it depends on them to deal with civil affairs" The three of them hurriedly walked out of the palace from Donghua Gate and went straight to Dong'an Gate, Zhu Cihong stopped in a daze: "Is it the yamen outside the palace?" ”
"Yes" Chang Yu was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses, the prince could not leave the palace at will.
"Your Highness, either you wait in the palace, and wait for the minister to come back and talk to you" Gong Yonggu looked at Zhu Cihong with a disappointed face and hurriedly said, but Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, Zhu Cihong glanced at him and gritted his teeth: "The news has leaked, let's be unlucky together."
Chang Yu touched his nose: "You're pulling me into the water."
Gong Yonggu looked confused, and then he was shocked: "Your Highness, you want to ......"
Shhh, Chang Yu and Zhu Cihong hurriedly made a gesture, Gong Yonggu shut up and sighed, what is going on, he has never participated in such a worrying thing, you must know that the prince is the foundation of the country, how can he leave the palace at will, if there is chaos...... It's a great crime to rob your family and destroy your ancestors.
After leaving Dong'an Gate, there were dozens of Dongchang fans rushing to protect them towards Dongchang Hu, pedestrians avoided it, and the organic spirit people whispered that it should be the great eunuch of Dongchang out of the palace.
The news of Chang Yu's return to Beijing had already spread throughout Sijiu City, which made the panicked people feel at ease, in their hearts, the little eunuch was the guardian saint, and he might have escaped this catastrophe in the capital.
The east factory yamen on the edge of the imperial city is heavily guarded, from the mouth of the alley on three steps and a sentry, five steps and a post, a few days ago a snitch entered the yamen at night and injured more than ten people to escape, at this time Chang Yu returned to Beijing, the east factory did not dare to be careless.
After entering the yamen, the courtyard was already crowded, and they were whispering in a low voice with sad faces or solemn faces, and these people were the leaders of the guards.
Emperor Daming 26 personal guards, in addition to the Jinyi Guard is responsible for intelligence collection, the Bannerman Guard is responsible for the emperor's Su Guard can not transfer troops, in addition to the Jinwu Four Guards, Teng Xiang Four Guards are still in the south, and there are 16 guards that can be used at the moment.
It sounds like a lot, right, there are a lot of soldiers, but in addition to empty salaries and the old, weak, sick and disabled, the average number of people and horses that can be pulled out will not exceed 2,000 people, and these sixteen guards can make up 20,000 Ma Changyu laughed, this is also the last old book of Emperor Chongzhen.
Even the Jingying is not much better, there are 100,000 troops on the books, Wang Jiayan almost vomited blood after a thorough investigation after taking office, and then went to the old, weak and sick remnants of 30,000 people, including the 5,000 men and horses of the Shenji Battalion who were transferred by Chang Yu. It can be described as shocking, Emperor Chongzhen almost didn't get angry after hearing the news.
If you can get together 40,000 or 50,000 vegetables and melons plus Tang Tong and Ma Ke's men and horses, you can also scare the Qing army in terms of military momentum.
"Each guard takes 1,000 of the elites, and the Beijing camp transfers 10,000 people" Chang Yu has always used troops to seek quality rather than quantity, in order to avoid the guards from slacking off and deliberately shoddy, Chang Yu sent Dongchang Fanzi into the guards to supervise, but where he found that he was tired of masturbating from top to bottom, he was absolutely not soft.
He also appointed the government army and guard thousands of households, Tang Potian, the chief of the East Palace guard, as the commander, and asked to transfer the manpower within half a day to wait for the order, Tang Potian had asked for war when Chang Yu went north to the pass, and then Chang Yu promised to transfer him south to help Shi Kefa, but he didn't do it, and finally had a chance to play at this time, and he was excited.
"Are you afraid?" Chang Yu asked him with a smile.
Tang Potian was friendly with him, but he didn't pretend to be: "I'm not afraid that it's a lie, but I don't want to live in obscurity like this all the time, look at how famous Jin Wuwei is now, how awesome Teng Xiaowei is now, my military guard, I Tang Potian will also become famous in a fight."
Chang Yu nodded and patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Don't worry, if you die in battle, our family will definitely find a feng shui treasure" Tang Potian almost took a mouthful of old blood: "I haven't graduated yet, can you say something nice?"
The army dispatched grain and grass first, fortunately, this time it was a local operation, and it could be returned to the city at any time to replenish, and there was no need to carry more when going out of the city, but just in case, Chang Yu still sent someone to send a message to the Octopus Chamber of Commerce, using all reserves to support this battle.
The Beijing camp and the guards have not been on the battlefield for a long time and have a fear of Qing, and they heard that they were going to go out of the city to fight a bloody battle, and the Qing army changed color one by one, and some of them even had weak legs, and the army's morale was exhausted to the bottom, and the morale was pulled out like this, and there was no need to fight at all, and the opponent collapsed as soon as he raised his sword.
How to boost morale is the most important thing in front of Chang Yu, or the old way, with a knife in one hand and silver in the other. Knives are readily available, but this silver ......
When he went south, he and Shi Kefa both took the silver and left, but they promised a lot of silver rewards over there, and as soon as they cashed in the money box, they bottomed out, where to get the money now?
Copying the homes of those profiteers in Shanxi is very rich, but most of them are still on the way, although some time ago from a few nobles made a lot of fines, but once into the treasury to reach out to ask for money, now there is no geometry left, the only thing that can still come out of the money is to move Chongzhen's private money, such as the dividends of the palace boxing match, such as the income of the big world nightclub outside the front door.
Even if Chongzhen is willing to give, I am afraid that there are too many monks and too little porridge, which is not enough to arouse the motivation of officers and soldiers, Chang Yu frowned for a while, and Chunxiang whispered beside him: "Or ...... Collect donations? ”
Chang Yu sneered, although many wealthy families in the capital were rich, but all of them were coerced, Emperor Chongzhen raised donations as an emperor back then, and the little money he received was unsightly, and the little silver raised was a humiliation to him.
However, Chang Yu's eyes rolled, and when his eyebrows were burning at this time, he might take the opportunity to exert pressure, so he invited Chunxiang to mutter for a long time, Zhu Cihong listened to it for a while, isn't it just fundraising, and waved his big hand: "Why don't you give this to the palace."
"Don't" Gong Yonggu hurriedly grabbed him, shook his head vigorously, and said in his heart, this master, why do you take all the dirty work on yourself, Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "Don't mix this mud royal family, if you and the emperor come forward, don't talk about getting dirty, and you can't raise a few, let's let Dongchang do it, we are good at this, and we are professional backstabbers" said and suddenly asked left and right: "Why don't you see Wu Mengming?" ”
"Commander Wu didn't return from Beijing yesterday?"
Didn't you go to find out the enemy situation in person? Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, how could he be missing him in this matter.
