Chapter 677: Seeing Blood
On the Qianqing door, Emperor Chongzhen frowned, his face was solemn, pacing back and forth in the hall, Wu Mengming bowed to the side, and he didn't dare to take a breath.
The Tartars actually took Miyun and Huairou counties in half a day, and the east road went to Pinggu to divide the troops, which was to join hands from north to south with a big net, and the big fish and small shrimp did not let go of the formation, and according to the latest information, the main force of the Qing army has sent troops from Miyun to the south, and it will enter the territory of Shunyi in less than half a day, how can this not make Emperor Chongzhen panic.
"In your opinion, can Shunyi be saved?" Chongzhen sighed, and Wu Mengming hurriedly said: "If the city is closed and defended, the Qing army will not go south in two or two days, and it will still be able to get reinforcements to rescue, but at this time, the people are panicked, and the army is not strong, I am afraid that they have no intention of defending."
"If you surrender, you will die, and there may be a glimmer of life if you defend it, they should know it in their hearts" Chongzhen sighed: "You just need to hold on to reinforcements...... Hey, did Chang Yu send troops? ”
As soon as the minister returned to the capital, he hurriedly entered the palace, and he didn't know ...... Has Grandpa Chang returned? Wu Mengming was taken aback and immediately overjoyed, "It's good that Grandpa Chang is here, it's great......"
When Chongzhen saw him like this, he couldn't help but smile: "Look at your confidence in him."
"That is, Chang Gonggong is good at fighting, whoever fights wins, since he is here, the dog Tartar will definitely be invincible......" Wu Mengming knelt and licked hard, and Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly and sighed: "I think that my Daming has to rely on a minister to be inside and outside at this time, I don't know if it is the misfortune of Daming or the luck of God."
"Your Majesty, it is a great fortune for the Ming Dynasty to have a permanent father-in-law, otherwise who will clean up such a mess at this time, which of the Manchu Dynasty has such a ability" Wu Mengming touted it vigorously.
"You are his confidant" Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be smiling, Wu Mengming's heart was cold, I depend, careless, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are the two knives under the emperor, which can not only cooperate but also balance each other, and now the two knives are too close and too close to each other and even married for a honeymoon, can it be cool as an emperor.
However, Zhu Youzhen didn't have time to pay attention to the relationship between him and the little eunuch now, and was worried about the situation and was about to send someone to hear Chang Yu, but when he saw Wang Chengen hurriedly coming over and whispering a few words, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be angry when he heard this: "He is actually sleeping!" ”
Wang Jiayan finally couldn't help but sue the royal court, because he really couldn't figure it out and couldn't get angry.
Now that it's okay, Zhu Youzhen was already irritable and undoubted to add fuel to the fire when he heard the words, and immediately became angry and asked Wang Chengen to reprimand Chang Yu, and Wu Mengming, who was angry, turned pale with fright.
"Wait" Just as Wang Chenen was about to leave, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly stopped him: "Let him sleep more."
"Your Majesty, at this time, the Tartar has already ......," Wang Chengen said softly.
Chongzhen interrupted him: "Chang Yu traveled thousands of miles for more than a month, first defeated the Qing army outside the pass, and then went south to suppress the thieves, almost endlessly, even the iron people can't hold on, if he collapses, then the Ming Dynasty is in danger, let him rest more."
Wang Chengen nodded yes, Wu Mengming retired and left, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen's words just now seemed to be distressed by Chang Yu, even if the Tartars wanted to come to the city, they would let him rest more, which could be described as extremely favored, but in fact, he just knew Chang Yu too well, and knew that he must have a way to deal with it, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be so lazy with his conduct, and Emperor Chongzhen's cozy attitude was just to show outsiders.
Out of the imperial city Wu Mengming went straight to the Dongchang Yamen, Yue Yu didn't necessarily have to speak, as for the little eunuch's so-called sleep and no guests, he believed that it was just prevarication for other people, and the Jinyi Guard commanded Lord Wu's face to be dropped.
Sure enough, when Wu Mengming had just arrived at the yamen and didn't have time to open his mouth to report, the fan on duty saw him and immediately rushed over, with an enthusiastic face: "Lord Wu is here, please, ......please, please."
"The Overseer is still resting, will it disturb?" Wu Mengming was a little flattered, and he could also speak: "Lord Wu is too outward, the relationship between you and the factory supervisor ...... Hehe, that's not an outsider, the factory governor has already explained, except for you and the emperor, no one else is there......"
Wu Mengming is called a sour, I can't wait for Wang Jiayan to be next to him, see this is the row of noodles, of course, after half a ring, he didn't think so, and he even regretted delivering it to the door.
The weather is gloomy but not chilly, the thirteen gates of the imperial capital are impassable, early in the morning outside the city from all directions of refugees poured in, the outside to come in, the inside to go out, for a time bustling chickens and dogs jumped chaotic to the point that it was not good, the guards on duty were already anxious, and their voices were hoarse.
It was not until there was a Jinyi guard that ordered the south city to close the Yongding Gate in the middle, the right gate to enter the city, the left gate to go out of the city, the two cities in the northwest were forbidden to enter and exit, the east city and the east straight gate to enter, and the west gate to go out, and the rest were closed, and the order was controlled.
In the middle of the afternoon, the gates of Andingmen and Deshengmen in Beicheng were opened, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp and the pro-guard army were exhausted, and the people rushed to tell each other: The imperial court has sent troops to fight the Tartars......
But when he heard that someone in the army snorted coldly: "It's just training out of the city" The person who heard it was stunned and stunned in the local area, what kind of training is this bone eye.
The common people can't understand it, so you can imagine how angry Wang Jiayan is in his heart, but as Chunxiang said, Chang Yu was ordered to supervise the soldiers and horses of Gyeonggi, and although he was the governor of Gyeongying, he had to obey the order honestly.
Although he was extremely tired after not repairing overnight, Wang Jiayan still insisted on going out of the city, he wanted to see how different it was today, why did he say that he wanted to see blood, whose blood he saw, and kill chickens and monkeys?
The two groups of men and horses went out of the city, the Beijing camp was led by Wang Jiayan himself, and the personal guard army was led by Tang Potian, the chief of the East Palace guard.
It is the fourth battalion under the command of Dongchang, Wang Jiayan saw it clearly, and he understood a little bit what Chunxiang meant by what he said just now, and I am afraid that this training is really different.
There are 20,000 elites drawn from the emperor's personal guards and the Beijing camp, and last night's rain training was regarded as giving them a dismount, and after more than an hour, there was no one who did not have weak legs.
However, that is only the beginning, just the surface, and the real devil's instructor is coming, and it will bring them a different experience.
The officers and men who had rested for the night had recovered their physical strength, and they were waiting a little nervously to go out of the city today to meet the enemy, and after Li Muxian poured buckets of chicken blood last night, they no longer had the same cold as when they first heard that the Tartars were coming, and their already numb blood was also provoked.
Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was better to be tired from training than to die, but soon they learned that there was a word called life is better than death.
20,000 people lined up in the wilderness, Wu Zhong was ordered to give the Jingying number one field, the number of the two fields, each awarded a flag, white skulls on a black background, which was daunting.
"Jingying, the guard, the army of the Son of Heaven, the name is a ring, everywhere you go, there are five people and six people like uncles, but this is all in the capital, out of the capital and other farts are not, to say that the straw bag is light, it is really a bunch of wine bags and rice bags." Hu Ling rode to the front of the queue and sneered and scolded, which suddenly caused a stormy wave, causing the soldiers to whisper, showing indignation, and Wang Jiayan's face turned pale.
"What the fuck are you yelling about" Tu Yuan shouted loudly and rode out of the battle, with a wave of the long knife in his hand and a murderous aura, like a god descending from heaven, he was burly and loud, and a roar could be heard for miles, and there was silence below in an instant: "If you are not convinced, you can come out and do it, and you can fight it alone, if you are a man, don't let them chirp in the crotch of their pants."
"A group of eunuchs are inferior to straw bales, do you expect them to be gentlemen?" Hu Ling laughed, and then the four battalions of Dongchang laughed, Wang Jiayan clenched his fists, and his whole body began to tremble.
This is too insulting, you can say that they are straw bales and girls these days, but if you say that they are like eunuchs, it is simply riding on the head and slapping the face, just like when you go to the army in the future, you say that they are like Cai Moukun and Lu Mo.
Who can endure it.
But these people really can't hold on!
It's not that they are cowardly, it's that they are self-aware, the four battalions of Dongchang are all following Chang Yu from Taiyuan, outside the Guan, and Baoding all the way to the battlefield with a sea of corpses and blood, everyone has that kind of non-angry and murderous momentum, so that these vegetables and melons dare not look directly, and how can they have the courage to challenge.
Of course, the most important thing is that they are really not bloody.
I thought it would be enough to endure it, but I didn't expect that the people in the fourth battalion of Dongchang would become more and more excessive, taking turns to go into battle to insult and humiliate, all kinds of unbearable foul language one after another, and even directly provoked, pointing to your nose and asking if you have a kind, dare to fight.
But the clay people also have three points of fire, and finally someone can't help but humiliate the challenge, the fourth battalion gladly accepted, single-handedly fighting Wu Zhong, Chen Wangting, Qiao Sanxiu and other Dongchang masters, whether it is dozens of people in a team, or hundreds of groups, than riding and shooting than melee, the four battalions randomly dispatched people to deal with it, and abused the opponent at will.
Wang Jiayan's face changed from blue to defeated, the men and horses he had carefully selected and trained for months were so vulnerable, and the combat power of the four battalions under the command of the little eunuch was so domineering.
was sad but still a little unconvinced, and let dozens of his own soldiers and family members go into battle, but the old nine of the black wolf battalion only led more than ten people to beat them and cried wolf, Wang Jiayan finally sighed and confessed.
The four battalions are black and ruthless, but everyone who has done it has a blue nose and swollen face and bleeding, but if you think that this is what Chunxiang called blood, then you are too underestimate Hu Ling and them.
After subduing these raw melons and eggs, the soldiers of the fourth battalion drilled 20,000 horses in batches, practiced some formations, and gave orders.
After the water and food were full, the assembly horn sounded, and Tu Yuan walked up to Wang Jiayan with a smile: "There is a bit of blood behind Lord Wang, are you sure you want to watch it, I heard that you didn't rest all night as well as ......"
"Why haven't you seen blood?" Wang Jiayan especially dislikes the commanders of the fourth battalion of Dongchang, who are rude and arrogant.
"Okay, then you can just take a look," he said, squeezing his eyes at Jia Waixiong.
Jia Waixiong rode out of the battle: "Look at your training is like a child's play, it's not interesting, let's play if we want to play." Everyone was surprised, what is the real point of playing, I won't kill the Tartars now.
They only guessed half right, Jia Waixiong did let them kill the Tartars, but they were not regular troops, but they went to intercept and kill the Qing army!
The Qing army was scouting everywhere, and it had arrived in Shunyi last night, and at this time, it should have entered the perimeter of the capital for several miles, and it was just used for training.
The palace battalion and the black wolf battalion lead a field, and the two battalions of the black tiger and the black panther lead the two fields to hunt the Qing army and explore the horses within a radius of thirty miles from the capital.
The morale was immediately aroused, it was not against the regular army, it was just hunting and killing Tanma, so many people and the leaders of the fourth battalion of Dongchang What are they afraid of, not to mention such a high reward, the army's heart is boiling, even Wang Jiayan is eager to try, and he doesn't feel tired at all.
A moment later, 20,000 officers and soldiers were divided into several routes under the leadership of the 4th Battalion of Dongchang, and the training began.
