Chapter 738
If the Qing army raided the city and besieged the city during this period of time, it is really difficult to say for a while, Emperor Chongzhen is the king of a country, Chang Yu, as the chief eunuch of Dongchang, was ordered to supervise the soldiers and horses of the whole city to defend the city, and he also worked day and night, and the rest of the big men in the court were not idle for the king.
But if there is anyone who is the busiest among the civil officials of the courtiers, the answer must be Wang Jiayan, the governor of Jingying.
Lao Wang was ordered to assist Chang Yu in defending the city as the governor of Jingying, which can be described as doing his best, and this one of the most loyal ministers at the end of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty really interpreted his dedication to the fullest at this time.
Before the war, the mobilization and training of the soldiers to go to the city to patrol the army did not take off their armor, and during the war, they braved the fire to supervise the front line of the war and were injured and did not get off the line of fire, and all kinds of aftermath matters after the war were also handed over to him to deal with.
Because of the meritorious service of defending the city, Emperor Chongzhen praised several times, so that he felt honored and more motivated, and when he was organizing the clean-up of the battlefield outside the city in the afternoon, Chang Yu sent someone to report, and dispatched 20,000 horses and horses from the Beijing camp to prepare for war, and did a good job in mobilization.
After getting the report, Lao Wang looked extremely excited, looking at the wilderness north of the city through the moat, his fists were clenched, and the dog was tartar, and it was time to settle the account.
The Beijing camp has improved after Wang Jiayan's bone scraping and healing in the past few months, although there are many fewer people who can fight than on the previous books, but it is still slightly better than the royal guards, but why did Chang Yu only transfer 20,000 horses.
The reason is very simple, the defense of the capital cannot afford to be lost, the pro-guard army is to defend the imperial city, the Beijing camp is to defend the capital, he led the troops to fight with the Tartars outside, and needs a stable rear, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the whole army may be wiped out if he is not careful......
So even if Chang Yu is not a polite person, he doesn't dare to take away too many men and horses from the Beijing camp, leaving at least more than 30,000 men and horses to defend the city, and ensure that there will be at least 50,000 defense men and horses in the capital when he goes out to fight (including personal guards, here we are talking about capable soldiers and horses that do not include the sick meals of the old and the young)
Wang Jiayan was eager to try to send the Beijing camp to fight, although he was a civilian official, he also knew the importance of actual combat training, the Beijing camp was idle for too long and then it would be abandoned if he didn't go out, but he was a little disagreeable with Chang Yu's dispatch of the emperor's personal guards to fight.
The emperor is really a little eunuch now, and the military power of the emperor's personal soldiers has been given to him, and he is really favored to the extreme, but it will inevitably be criticized by the courtiers, but the pro-guards are equivalent to the emperor's private soldiers, with absolute property rights and command, and they do not belong to the military department or the governor's mansion of the five armies, so no matter how unhappy they are, they can't point fingers, even the cabinet bosses.
The pro-guard army, hehe, although the name is great, what about the strength, Jin Wuwei and Teng Xiangwei have performed well in the war abroad, but these in the city are not much better than the Beijing camp, maybe far less than the Beijing camp, Wang Jiayan has a sense of comparison in his heart, and thinks that it is really a coincidence that the little eunuchs each transferred 20,000 yuan, I am afraid that they also want to compare.
In the afternoon, the sky was a little clearer, and the people in the streets and alleys of the city were still talking about all kinds of gossip and rumors about yesterday's battle, while the yamen and barracks of the pro-guard army were busy mobilizing elites to prepare for war.
Under the flower stand in the backyard of the Yamen of the East Factory, Chang Yu lay above and squinted at an insect crawling on the grape trellis, Fang San was busy making tea and pouring water next to him, and Chen Suole and a few other relatives were watching and playing chess in the shade of a tree not far away, so a good afternoon.
At least on the surface, it looks so comfortable, but in fact, Chang Yu has a headache, in addition to the upcoming large-scale field battle with the Tartars, there is also the matter entrusted by Princess Kunxing.
In order to rush to the royal family, the royal family is ready to handle the marriage of Princess Kunxing, who has long been married, but the little girl has a fear of marriage at this time, she doesn't want to get married, Chang Yu saw it from her eyes, and felt the panic and fear in his heart.
It's just that why can this royal wedding be stopped from being scheduled for a long time?
"Chunxiang, send someone to find him" This matter is a matter of secrecy, it is not trivial, but it needs to be handled carefully, and the situation is urgent, Chang Yu has no time to be distracted to deal with it, and after thinking about it, he can only hand it over to Chunxiang to do.
Chunxiang is handling official business in Jinyi Weibei Town, although it is different from the Yamen, but the East Factory is awesome, although Jinyi Wei is ruthless and famous outside, but in fact, it is to do miscellaneous work for the East Factory, and the East Factory can directly take over the case, and the manpower is not enough to directly transfer the Jinyi Wei to supplement, which has always been the case.
What's more, at this time, this official matter is Kanto Factory.
It is naturally not a trivial matter to be able to involve Dongchang and Jinyiwei at the same time, and the parties involved are by no means ordinary people.
is indeed not an ordinary person, because he is the father of Empress Daming, the current abbot Zhou Kui!
That's right, after Zhou Kui, the grandfather of the country, intercepted Chang Yu at the gate of the imperial city, he rushed to Beizhen Fusi to find the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Wu Mengming tore it up.
If the father-in-law came to the door earlier, Wu Mengming would have greeted him in person, but Wu Mengming, a disgraced father-in-law, would not be so welcome, not to mention that he came to find trouble and refused to see him directly.
With the support of the great eunuch of Dongchang, Lao Wu is full of confidence.
But how can Zhou Kui be a good stubble, if you don't see it, you will be gone, and he rushed inside, and the brocade guard at the entrance of the yamen couldn't stop him, so he was also rushed in.
Lao Wu had to see it now, and made a cup of tea without smiling: "Master Guo, what are you doing, right now the Tartar is hanging outside, the city is busy with work, and this commander is also busy with his butt and not touching the ground, if you have something, just say something, please take care of yourself if you have nothing to do."
Zhou Kui saw that he actually started to put on a show, and directly scolded Wu Mengming and Chang Yu for being embarrassed and taking money and not doing anything...... He has always been arrogant, no matter what kind of Jinyi guard commander you are or what you are in command of urine, I don't believe you really dare to do anything to him.
Wu Mengming didn't dare to do anything to him, but he was not used to him, and warned him with righteous words, this is an extraordinary time, don't do things, if it makes a big fuss, the emperor will be angry and say that he can't really give him some hardship.
Zhou Kui thought about it carefully, and was a little jealous in his heart, Wu Mengming took the opportunity to say soft words again, at this time, how could the little eunuch who was busy with military affairs have time to give him time to busy his personal affairs, so that he could wait patiently.
However, the cunning Zhou Kui already felt that things were not so simple, and these two rabbit cubs might want to play themselves, so he asked Wu Mengming to write him a note, either promising to do things, or writing a receipt of 100,000 silver.
Wu Mengming naturally didn't know how to write, and at most he wrote a receipt of "Zhou Kui, the head of the country, donated 100,000 taels of silver", but Zhou Kui didn't follow, and at this time Chunxiang came to find Wu Mengming to do something, Zhou Kui knew that he was the second-in-command of Dongchang and had a close relationship with Chang Yu, so he consumed Chunxiang again.
But Chunxiang is a cold-faced god, except for the emperor and Chang Yu, there are few people who have seen him laugh, and he looks cold to everyone, even the national abbot is still the same, and even put a sentence: "At an extraordinary time, Dongchang was ordered to monitor the whole city, but anyone who has the right to commit adultery or pick quarrels and provoke troubles has the right to cut first and then play, does the national master want to drink tea in Dongchang Yamen?" ”
The intimidation in the words is too obvious, meaning that if you are doing something for me, you will arrest Dongchang in prison, this is a place, Wu Mengming sighed, old man, now young people are not only ruthless but also dare to say it!
Zhou Kui was furious when he heard this, and shouted that he didn't believe in evil, and asked Chunxiang to arrest him and try it, and he had the ability to arrest the emperor's father-in-law and show it to the people of the world.
The emperor's banner resisted, Chunxiang was really a little hesitant, he was not Chang Yu after all, he couldn't reach the level where he could casually catch the emperor's relatives, seeing that this old man was difficult, he was also in trouble for a while, but at this time, a fan came to report that Chang Yu was looking for him to have something.
"If you have the guts, go to Dongchang to make trouble, and see if Father-in-law Chang dares to lock you up" Chunxiang glared at Zhou Kui with a vicious face and left.
Wu Mengming secretly screamed when he heard this, after all, it was a young man who spoke without going through his brain, and as soon as he said this, he would inevitably give Chang Yu a black spell in Dongchang, a eunuch would dare to intimidate and even threaten today's Guozhang in such a face-to-face, how arrogant and domineering is no one in his eyes! And Zhou Kui will inevitably take advantage of this to make a big fuss.
Yes, I thought that this kid Luo would be able to relieve himself when he came, but he didn't want to add a fire, poured a barrel of oil and slipped away, Wu Mengming's head suddenly became incomparable.
