I have called you to reward you for your deeds, not for you to punish your sins. ”

Chongzhen raised his hand casually, Zu Dashou secretly glanced at Yuan Chonghuan, and only after Yuan Chonghuan got up did he get up.

"Inspector Yuan, tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Minister, the army led by the department has traveled for more than a thousand miles, and is exhausted, so please follow the precedent of the Mangui department to enter the Deshengmen urn city, and allow the officers and soldiers of the department to enter the city, rest for a while, and replenish supplies."

"Well, it's true, they're working too hard, but the Jingshi is so big, and you have tens of thousands of soldiers under your command, if they all enter the city, won't it disturb the people?

So, you might as well not go into town.

When it comes to food and salary, I will instruct the household department to do it quickly.

Well, it's getting late, so stand down. ”

After Chongzhen heard that Yuan Chonghuan was going to enter the city, he frowned and said.

"Yes."

Yuan Chonghuan retreated with Zu Dashou, who wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He was already hungry, but the food on the platform table was like paraffin, and he couldn't take a bite.

"Inspector, look, does the emperor want to cure us for the crime of missing the fighter?"

"The emperor is warning us that we claim to have 200,000 border troops in Liaodong, but only we know how many soldiers and horses there are.

We have soldiers in our hands, but we let Huang Taiji come in, and the blame is inescapable.

The regal is unpredictable, the regal is unpredictable! ”

Yuan Chonghuan glanced back at the Bauhinia platform, quickened his pace and walked towards the outside of the city.

What he didn't know was that after he left, Emperor Chongzhen had been secretly observing them.

When Yuan Chonghuan turned around, Chongzhen's eyes immediately widened and he stared at him fiercely.

Although Yuan Chonghuan didn't see Chongzhen in the shadows, he still felt a burst of killing intent.

"Wang Chengen, did you see it just now, Yuan Chonghuan turned his head and glared at me." Chongzhen said with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, this time it's dark, Inspector Yuan can't see us."

"Hmph." When Chongzhen heard this, he flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, turned his head and left.

Because he knew that what Wang Chengen said was true.

"He held an army of 200,000 troops, garrisoned Liaodong, and personally promised me to recover Liaodong in five years.

Now Liaodong has not recovered, but let Huang Taiji hit my doorstep.

He doesn't think about himself, he wants to be rewarded.

As soon as you heard it, he won a few battles under the city, and then he became arrogant and arrogant, and even wanted to take his men and horses into the city.

He brought tens of thousands of troops here, what is he doing here?

He's going to enter the city and force the palace.

If I don't give him food, will he take his subordinates and rebel in the capital? ”

The more Chongzhen spoke, the more excited he became, and the faster he spoke.

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned around and kicked over Wang Chengen, who was following him.

"Dog thing, such a wolf ambition thing, you still help him speak? Do you want to rebel too? ”

"Minister... Everything the minister gave was given by the emperor, where did the minister dare? ”

Wang Chengen was kicked over by Chongzhen, he maintained a tumbling posture, crawled on the ground and didn't dare to move, and replied with a bitter face.

"Wang Chengen."

"The minister is here."

"Immediately pass the decree, order Yuan Chonghuan to take the initiative to attack, quickly defeat Huang Taiji, if you don't listen to the order, then order the Jinyi guard..."

Wang Chengen's back hair stood upright, he didn't expect that Chongzhen would want to kill Yuan Chonghuan.

"Minister, obey the order."

Yuan Chonghuan led the order, garrisoned outside the city of Beijing, and took the initiative to fight with the Houjin army, and won and lost each other.

Yuan Chonghuan ordered Dai Chengen to line up in Guangqumen, Zu Dashou in the south, Wang Chengyin in the northwest, Yuan Chonghuan in the west to prepare for battle, at noon, the Qing cavalry attacked from the southeast, Zu Dashou led his troops to fight hard, and Wang Chengyin pulled out the formation to the south to avoid the battle.

The Later Jin army fought against Zu Dashou, so he retreated, and the Ming generals Liu Yingguo, Luo Jingrong and others led their troops to pursue, killing and wounding more than 1,000 people in the Later Jin army, and the Ming army also suffered many casualties.

Chonghuan sent Ren Shouzhong to lead 500 men to bombard the Jin camp with artillery, after which the Jin army retreated, and the siege of Kyoto was resolved.

On November 24, Huang Taiji lost the battle at Guangqumen, and after issuing the words of "recuperating and recuperating", he moved to Nanhaizi (Nanyuan), where he recuperated and grazed horses at the same time, waiting for an opportunity to attack again.

On the 27th, the two sides fought fiercely outside Zuo'anmen.

Huang Taiji couldn't defeat Yuan Chonghuan, so he began to spread rumors, and he planned to frame Yuan Chonghuan with a counter-plot.

Before and after the Battle of Guangqumen, the Guanning army led by Yuan Chonghuan repeatedly asked to enter the city for rest, but was not allowed (King Qin's reinforcements did not enter the city, and fighting under the city was a rule of the Ming Dynasty), and in the face of thousands of enemy troops, they engaged the Houjin army, and repelled the Houjin army in the case of the Beijing camp. At this time, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't wait to enter the city to "negotiate salary".

Yuan Chonghuan came to the city of Beijing. At this time, Beijing was under martial law at nine gates, and the city gates were closed.

The city hung a basket with a rope and came down, and Yuan Chonghuan was lifted to the city while sitting in the basket.

The ministers and others outside Beijing were extremely dissatisfied with Yuan Chonghuan, and complained to the imperial court: "Yuan Chonghuan was called to help, but he allowed the Houjin army to loot and burn the houses, and did not dare to go to stop it. ”

After Yuan Chonghuan arrived at the platform, Emperor Chongzhen sat there solemnly, and did not discuss the military salary, but ordered Yuan Chonghuan to be arrested.

On December 1, 1629 (the second year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty and the third year of Jin Tiancong), Emperor Chongzhen arrested Yuan Chonghuan.

Sure enough, Zu Dashou saw this scene on the sidelines, trembled, and led 15,000 people to leave Jingdong and return to Jinzhou immediately.

Due to the annihilation of the Jin army after the Mangui battle, Chongzhen had no choice but to accept Sun Chengzong's suggestion and let Yuan Chonghuan, who was imprisoned, write a letter to recall Zu Dashou to relieve the danger of the Beijing division.

In the Jingshi Prison, Yuan Chonghuan wrote a letter of admonition to Zu Dashou, and Wang Chengen ordered someone to send it quickly.

Then Wang Chengen began to persuade Yuan Chonghuan.

"Lord Yuan, for the sake of the country's safety, let's play and ask for guilt."

He hopes that Yuan Chonghuan can give in and take the initiative to admit his mistakes, only in this way will he have a glimmer of life.

"I am not guilty of this battle, a few months ago I went to the imperial court to strengthen the defense of the border pass of Jizhen, and gave the food and salary of my soldiers to Jizhen.

When I knew that Huang Taiji crossed the border and entered, I came all the way to the rescue, I was not only innocent, but also meritorious, the emperor treated me like this, was he not afraid of chilling the hearts of the world's loyal ministers and good generals? ”

"Are you a loyal general? Five years to recover Liaodong, you are guilty of seeking peace by war and bullying the king.

As long as you take the initiative to admit your mistake, the emperor will be better, and I will guarantee you with my head, and I will be able to spare your life. Wang Chengen squinted his eyes and said ruthlessly.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous." Yuan Chonghuan didn't eat this set at all, and pointed at Wang Chengen and scolded.

"For the sake of a ridiculous face, can face defeat Huang Taiji? Can the face be compared to Jiangshan Sheji? ”

"Lord Yuan!" Wang Chengen shouted and stopped Yuan Chonghuan.

"The emperor's face is the national prestige of my Ming Dynasty, this time the emperor Taiji is directly approaching the Beijing Division, it must not be the emperor's fault, as long as you admit it and take this crime down, the emperor will definitely spare your life."

Does Yuan Chonghuan want to die?

He doesn't want to die, he still wants to recover Liaodong in five years.

If a person does not succeed, he is talking big, and if he succeeds, it is a legend.
