058 Lack of food kills horses
Empress Zhou looked at Chongzhen with teary eyes.
How she hoped that Chongzhen would listen to her admonitions, reactivate Donglin Zhongzheng, reduce the use of the harem, and belittle the eunuchs.
Chongzhen bent down
He gently wiped the tears from the queen's face and said gently, "Queen, you don't understand. ”
Then Chongzhen looked at the queen fixedly, and said coldly, "Spread my word, Queen Zhou committed a crime, and she was disrespectful to me, so she closed the palace and thought about it for three months." ”
Empress Zhou was stunned, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "What is the crime of the concubine?"
Chongzhen no longer looked at Empress Zhou, he turned his head to Wang Chengen and ordered, "From today onwards, every issue will send a copy of the Da Ming Newspaper to the queen's palace, so that the queen can study it, and then tell me, what is wrong with her?" ”
Let's be honest.
This queen is indeed very virtuous, but she is a bit pedantic, and the so-called throttling is not as good as open source.
Chongzhen in history is economical enough, right?
Saving to wear patched clothes, he was despised by the public and did not look like an emperor.
Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty was frugal, right?
When his concubine couldn't even get meat to eat, and the queen celebrated her birthday, he gritted his teeth and killed the big fat, and the minister could only eat some noodles when he went to his banquet.
The result?
The officials at the bottom were corrupt and bribed, each more extravagant than the other, and the people were not able to make a living, and the Qing Dynasty went into decline from then on.
And if the savings are useful?
It is estimated that most dynasties will be able to avoid their demise.
Seeing that Chongzhen was unhappy, Concubine Tian and the others stepped forward to comfort her softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubine will dance and play for Your Majesty!" ”
After speaking, Concubine Tian took out the jade flute, whimpered and blew, while Concubine Yuan opened her sleeves and danced.
Gentle Township, Gentle Township.
This is Gentle Township, Chongzhen looked at the beautiful concubine in front of him, and he suddenly remembered the soldiers who were fighting bloodily in the cold winter.
Chongzhen actually felt guilty?
waved off the concubines and palace maids, Chongzhen closed his eyes and lay on the royal collapse, and the live broadcast system was turned on.
The wind is biting.
There was a group of Ming cavalry resting.
It could be seen that they had just gone through a big battle, and the men and horses were very tired, and the soldiers still had blood stains on their clothes.
Mao Wenlong stroked a war horse.
After a long time, he finally sighed, "Slaughter it, cut the horse meat into small pieces as a reserve grain, and boil the horse skin, horse bones, and horse offal into a pot to make soup and drink." ”
"Yes!"
A few wolf-like soldiers immediately led the horse down, and the horse seemed to sense something?
It looked back at Mao Wenlong step by step, and his mouth was full of sorrow.
Mao Wenlong wiped his tears, he turned his head and couldn't bear to look at it again.
Soon, the smell of meat came from the camp, and the poor horses were put in the pot.
"Boss."
Mao Wenlong knelt in front of Sun Chengzong with a deputy helmet, "People are iron and rice are steel, why don't you eat something?" ”
Sun Chengzong glanced at the helmet that Mao Wenlong was holding, it was a bowl of broth, and there were a few palm-sized pieces of Jianzi meat in the soup.
The smell of meat is tangy.
But Sun Chengzong was really not in the mood to eat, he led 9,000 iron cavalry to intercept the heavy cavalry of the Eight Banners of Jianyu, which claimed to be 100,000, but in fact only 40,000.
Nine thousand men and horses, the whole army was annihilated.
Only Sun Chengzong, Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan, and more than 100 guards cavalry survived.
Sun Chengzong pushed away the broth.
He let out a long sigh, "Wenlong, why do you want to save the old man?" Seeing so many soldiers killed, what kind of face does the old man have to live in the world?"
Mao Wenlong cried, he choked up.
"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, the boss you have done your best, the soldiers have also tried their best, the future will be handed over to Your Majesty, the last general believes that Your Majesty will have a way, God bless Daming."
"God bless Daming?"
Sun Chengzong muttered to himself, "If God really blesses me Daming, why do you want to let the Guanning Iron Cavalry be wiped out?" This is the most elite unit of the Ming Dynasty, Guan Ning Iron Cavalry is dead, who can stop the Eight Banners Heavy Cavalry again? When the country is destroyed, we are all national sinners. ”
At this time, Sun Chengzong suddenly remembered what Chongzhen had said to him.
"Sun Qing must think that Guan Ningjin's defense line can block the captives? They won't make a detour through Mongolia?"
He remembered again.
His Majesty hurriedly asked him to set up Jimen and ambush Huang Taiji.
If Huang Taiji breaks through Jimen, he will lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry to follow, and adapt all the way, and don't start a war easily.
Of course, it is possible to engage in guerrilla warfare in the process of tailgating, to fight those who flee and escape, and to harass the enemy a little.
Does Your Majesty know everything?
Is everything in His Majesty's hands?
As soon as he thought of this, Sun Chengzong couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, he was a tough person, and he didn't understand His Majesty's meaning before.
Or maybe he understood, but he would not be subject to the foreign king's life.
As soon as Sun Chengzong saw the heavy cavalry of the Eight Banners of Jianyu going straight to Shenjing, his heart was in turmoil.
In a hasty decisive battle, they tried to intercept the 40,000 heavy cavalry with thousands of light cavalry.
Sun Chengzong pondered.
Since His Majesty already knew everything in advance, but he consumed the Guanning Iron Cavalry in advance, will it affect His Majesty's follow-up combat strategy?
The more Sun Chengzong thought about it, the more he blamed himself.
He was even less in the mood to eat.
He pointed to the broth and said to Mao Wenlong, "The old man is already old, it doesn't matter if you eat less, you can give these to the soldiers!"
Chongzhen's eyes in the live broadcast were almost red.
This Sun Chengzong is really high-spirited, obviously he can't stand up from hunger, and he has to give the broth to the soldiers.
Compared with other civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong is worthy of the name of the emperor.
Mao Wenlong thought about it.
He suddenly scooped up the key meat and wrapped it in a cloth and put it in his arms, "Boss, the last general will help you put away the meat first, eat it when you want to eat it, and send the soup to the soldiers." ”
Sun Chengzong was noncommittal, he just stared blankly into the distance, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and it was difficult to walk!
Chongzhen also has a good impression of Mao Wenlong, although this son is a little arrogant, but there is no problem with his character.
Look at Yuan Dudu?
Although it has been proved that he did not betray the country, his character is far from Mao Wenlong.
At this time he was crouching beside the cauldron, vigorously scooping up the dried meat, although the horse meat was stored as a reserve grain.
But the horseshoe was in the pot, Yuan Duduguang picked up the horseshoe meat and fished it, he fished a big bowl, and then asked the soldiers to divide the rest of the meat and soup.
Now Sun Chengzong is seriously injured and paralyzed. Yuan Dudu became the leader of this defeated cavalry, and no one could blame him for doing so.
Mao Wenlong glanced at him with disdain.
He silently drank the horse broth with the soldiers, the soup was very thick, and there were horse skins, horse offal, horse blood, and bits and pieces of horse ears, tails, hooves and the like.
There was even a layer of broken bones sinking at the bottom.
The soldiers were so hungry that they not only drank the broth, but also chewed and swallowed the bones of the horses.
