At this time, the people in Pinggu County are still as usual, in and out of the operation of daily affairs, suddenly a breeze gently blows through the county aisle, a middle-aged man is pulling the cart forward, next to his wife is also helping to push behind, the cart is filled with many wine cans and smells very fragrant, it should be the liquor that has just been burned.

The middle-aged man put down the cart when he was a little tired, sat on the stone at the city gate and rested for a while, and his wife poured a bowl of water and handed it over, and the middle-aged man picked up the bowl and prepared to drink.

But you see the sound of horses' hooves in the distance? The middle-aged man raised his head and looked over and vaguely saw that the generals in front of him who were riding horses and wearing (cotton armor) didn't seem to be Ming generals? So the middle-aged man stretched out his left hand and rubbed his eyes, and when he looked closely, he found that it seemed to be a Jiannu cavalry? The middle-aged man's hand trembled (snapped), and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered.

Then the middle-aged man shouted, "Folks, run!" The Jiannu Tartars are coming. As soon as the words fell, the Manchu Baturu rushed over and cut off his head, and the blood splashed directly on the face of the middle-aged wife next to him.

The wife, who reacted, shouted in surprise, "Husband! ”

Then the middle-aged wife hurriedly hugged the body of her dead husband and wept bitterly, but the Manchu Baturu saw that the little lady in front of him was in good shape, so he pulled her away and pressed her to the ground, tore her clothes and insulted her in public, and the rest of the people saw the arrival of the Jiannu cavalry and dropped their things and ran into the city.

When the Ming army defending the city was about to close the city gate, it was killed by the Manchu cavalry captain: Erzih Erbe, who shot the Ming soldiers who closed the gate with an arrow, and a large number of Jiannu iron cavalry behind quickly rushed into the city.

The Ming soldiers on the city tower hurriedly pulled the trigger and shot a few shots, then left the city tower and ran to report to the Ming Pinggu magistrate: Liu Ansheng, who has always been a corrupt official and lustful, heard the word (Jiannu)? fainted on the spot, fortunately there were soldiers to support, and the soldiers of the Ming army asked very nervously: "Lord Zhixian, what should we do now?" ”

Mingping Gu Zhixian immediately pointed to the direction of the back city and said: "For today's plan, only by escaping quickly from the city can you have a chance of surviving!" The soldiers saw that the magistrate was so afraid of death, and it was difficult to say anything, so they fled with them.

In this way, after the Jiannu people entered the city, they began to break into the houses unscrupulously, and when they saw the men, they hacked them to death at will, and when they saw the women with good looks, they immediately fell to the ground, and several people took turns to insult them, and after a large number of Jiannu cavalry grabbed the grain and silver, they felt very excited and burned the houses.

The Manchu Dynasty Duoluo Rao Yu Beile stood in the back city burned by the fire, and still remembered the words of the Manchu Han University in his heart, that is, this time he only grabbed food to enter the customs and must bypass the battle with the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers and civilians along the way got the news and hid far away early, Ming Sanhe Zhixian: Du Yichun, hurriedly played the Ming Shuntian Governor: Pan Yongtu, and asked him to send troops to intercept the Jiannu army, who knew that the Ming Shuntian Governor did not dare to send troops, but directly passed the song to the Yamen of the General Administration Division.

The next day, a row of civil and military officials wearing (court clothes) entered from the noon gate one after another, and when they passed the Wufeng Tower, they heard the sound of the flag bearer guards beating the second drum, and then the hundred officials lined up in two teams outside the gate and waited for the city gate to be opened.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, the lieutenants of the Kung Fu Jinyi Guard rang the bell to open the door, and the civil officials entered through the left gate, and the military attaché entered through the right door, and came to the Jinshui Bridge outside the Taihe Gate Hall of the Outer Court.

The two teams of ministers are still arranged according to their grades, only to see Taihe Gate come out of the two north and south town Fusi brocade guards, each holding firecrackers high and igniting (crackling) explosion, after the sound of firecrackers, the two groups of ministers slowly walked across the bridge, the civil official stood on the left side of the royal road, and the military attache stood on the right side of the royal road.

In order according to the size of the official position, the officials above the second rank are lined up in front of the palace, the officials of the third grade are lined up in front of the imperial road, and some officials below the fourth rank are directly lined up at the back of the imperial road, and the ministers are anxiously waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor after they are in place, among which the governor of Ming Shuntian is very nervous.

At this time, the bells and drums on the left and right began to play, and Ming Yizong, who was wearing (12 chapters of the crown dress), entered the Taihemen Hall with the support of the Jinyi guards, and stood on the middle of the royal road (the Han general) holding a melon skin hammer and wearing a phoenix wing helmet, and behind the two classes of ministers stood the Jinyi Guard Captain holding a knife and waiting, and in the Jinyi Guard, he opened five umbrella covers and four fans, and there were two people holding sabers waiting for His Majesty.

Then the brocade guards removed the four umbrella covers and the two fans, leaving only the umbrella cover of the throne and the two fans around them held by the palace maid.

In this way, Ming Yizong began to order the Ming Si Rite Supervisor Bingbi Eunuch: Wang Chengen, walked to the front of the palace to announce the beginning of the early dynasty, and the civil and military officials began to put forward all kinds of songs, first of all, there was the Ming Household Department Shangshu: Hou Sui, put forward and said, "Your Majesty, in recent years, the grain tax in the area of Nanzhili and Zhejiang Chengxuan is relatively high, and the minister implores His Majesty to charge a part of the money and grain into the treasury." This fold was approved by Ming Yizong and included in one-third of the money and grain.

Then the right attendant of the Ming Ministry of Industry: Xu Huangsheng, said on the play, "Your Majesty, in recent months, I don't know why there are more bridges, embankments, and houses destroyed in the area of Beizhili, Shandong Chengxuan, and Shanxi Chengxuan!" The minister implores His Majesty to transfer the inner curtain and silver two for maintenance. Ming Yizong, who was puzzled, asked, "Oh, is what Aiqing said true?" Most of the Shanxi Chengxuan and Shandong Chengxuan Zhengsi were caused by the Liukou, and I allowed the transfer of silver to repair, as for the Beizhili area, there was also such a thing? I will not tolerate it, and I will send someone to find out the reason later. ”

As soon as the words fell, he came to the political envoy of Mingtong: Huang Fansheng, and he said, "Your Majesty, according to the report of the Sanhe Zhixian County of Shuntianfu, it seems that there is a large army of Jiannu going south to attack the city!" The minister implored His Majesty to quickly mobilize a large army to repel this group of Jiannu Tartars to ensure the safety of Gyeonggi in the northern Zhili. ”

Upon hearing the news of the invasion of the Jiannu Tartars, the ministers of the court were panicked and kept talking, and the governor of Ming Shuntian: Pan Yongtu, hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is the news that the minister just learned yesterday, and the minister estimates that the Jiannu army may be less than 40 miles away from Gyeonggi now." ”

Ming Yizong was very angry when he heard this, and he shouted angrily: "This is the sixth southern invasion of the Ming Dynasty, before Chongzhen's eleventh year when the Jiannu Tartars retreated, they also killed the Wenhua Hall scholar in Gaoyang County, Yongping Prefecture: Sun Chengzong, this year's invasion must be for money and food, which Aiqing is willing to lead troops to the battle?" ”

The generals were speechless and didn't dare to speak, Ming Yizong on the throne dragon throne glanced at the ministers in the audience and shook their heads in disappointment, only to see the first assistant of the Ming cabinet: Zhou Yanru, took the initiative to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to lead the army to repel the Dongyu in one fell swoop, but..." ”

As soon as he heard that someone had taken the initiative to invite Ying Ming Yizong, he was very happy, and he guessed that he must be worried about the problem of troops?

So Ming Yizong said: "Aiqing, don't worry! I decided to send a large army to help the secretary, and listened to the order to pass on the governor of Shuntianfu: Pan Yongtu, the governor of Baoding: Zhang Qiping, the governor of Yongping: Ma Chengming, the right of the Imperial Palace: Fan Zhiwan, and the right attendant of the military department: Zhao Guangxi, these officials were responsible for cracking down on the Jiannu iron cavalry. ”

However, Zhang Jinzhi, the secretary of the Ming Military Department, also proposed, "Your Majesty, although these soldiers and horses in the North Zhili region are brave and good at fighting, there are no iron cavalry that can fight with Jiannu in the field, in case the Jiannu iron cavalry takes the opportunity to raid, wouldn't it be dangerous?" He also asked His Majesty to quickly dispatch one of the nine sides, the Yulin Wei Qin Army, and the iron cavalry to accompany the army. ”

But he didn't want this to be Ming Zijin Guanglu Doctor: Lu Hongwen, to retort, "Your Majesty, Yulin Wei is the border army of Shaanxi Chengxuan Political Division, and it is also one of the main forces blocking the Mongol Tumut Department and the Southern Liukou, if you rush to the north, I am afraid that it will cause the invasion of the Tumut Department, and the minister thinks that the Shanhaiwei General Soldier should be quickly transferred: Bai Guangen, this person has always been brave and good at fighting, and he is familiar with the tactics of Jiannu in the "Battle of Songguang", so the minister suggested sending this person there. ”

Seeing this, the rest of the ministers also seconded the proposal, and Ming Yizong made up his mind to let the Ming Guangning Qiantun Guard General Soldier: Ma Ke, continue to enter the pass to guard the mountain and sea guard, and ordered the Ming Mountain and Sea Guard General Army to quickly go south to fight against Jiannu, and after the decree was transmitted, the herald soldiers set off through the Tongzhou right guard before dawn.

At the same time, the first assistant of the Ming cabinet also hung up (the commander flag of the three armies) and set off from Yongding Gate, and the Ming armies from all walks of life converged together one after another.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the first assistant of the Ming cabinet actually sat in Tongzhou, and the right guard didn't leave? And with the commander of the right guard of Ming Tongzhou: Lu Wei, he began to drink and have fun ignoring the military and politics, and directly entrusted the important task of resisting Jiannu to the right attendant of the Ming Army, and in desperation, the right attendant of the Ming Soldier Department did not want to endanger the people, so he led the army to the area of Sanhe County alone.

At this moment, the Second Route Jiannu Cavalry and the Mongol Cavalry of Monan had already ransacked Sanhe County, and continued to move south through Xianghe County to Wuqing County.

People can be seen fleeing everywhere in the nearby county, and most of the county officials have abandoned the city and fled! Only Anzhi County, East Ming: Liang Kang, led the county garrison of 4,000 people out of the city for ten miles, preparing to ambush the Jiannu cavalry by the riverside woods, because the number of guns is not much, so most of the Ming army can only use bows and arrows, spears, swords, and even the artillery is only ten tiger squat cannons.

Despite this, the Ming soldiers were still willing to ambush Jiannu, intending to intercept Jiannu outside the city, and soon rode over a 500-strong white flag Jiannu cavalry.
