September 22, 11th year of Chongzhen.

Huang Taiji Feng Dolgon was ordered to be the general, Yue Tuo was the general of Yangwu to lead the army of 100,000, known as the army of 200,000, divided the troops into two routes, detoured to Mongolia, and broke the city into the pass from the wall ridge east of Miyun and the Qingshan Pass east of Xifengkou respectively.

Followed by.

Wu Aheng, the governor of Daming Jiliao, died in battle!

Jiliao general soldier Lu Zongwen died in battle!

Zheng Xizhao, the eunuch guarding the town, fled.

Two days later.

The news reached Jingshi.

Martial law in Beijing!

The world is shaking!

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was also anxious, looked at the cabinet and the ministers of the six ministries, and asked, "What can Zhong Aiqing do?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up at this time: "Your Majesty, the only way to do this is to issue an edict to the king of the world's soldiers and horses, and in addition, the minister is willing to lead the troops to meet Jiannu for His Majesty!" Rescue Gyeonggi from danger! ”

"Quasi-play! With the sword of Lu Aiqing and Shangfang, the governor of the world is the king of soldiers and horses! ”

Zhu Youzhen said.

Then, Zhu Youzhen asked some strategies to resist the enemy before letting the ministers disperse.

Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, also returned home, the state was in danger, the emperor was worried, and his mood was not much better. ”

"It's just that Mr. Lu Qian, who is in Linqingwei, Shandong, sent someone to send some charcoal."

The housekeeper Chen Qi received five hundred taels of gold from Tang Wenyun this time, and naturally he had to do his best to help Tang Wenyun see his master.

Liu Yuliang snorted: "Let him go back!" He is ruining the old man's innocence! ”

"The lord is angry, this Tang Xiucai said that Lu Qian just sighed that the lord you are too poor to work on state affairs, and it just so happens that his own family is in business and rich in assets, so he offered some charcoal salute in order to show his respect, just ask to listen to your teachings a few words, and he will benefit for life."

Butler Chen Qi replied.

Seeing this, Liu Yuliang asked, "How much silver did you accept from Tang Xiucai?" ”

"The master forgives the sin, the little one doesn't dare to deceive, five hundred taels."

Chen Qi hurriedly knelt down.

Liu Yuliang smiled coldly and said, "Bring the gift list!" ”

Chen Qi hurriedly took out the charcoal salute sheet that Lu Yuan had sent to Tang Wen.

Liu Yuliang was also surprised when he saw it, and saw that it was full of gold and silver jewelry, which exceeded the value of 10,000 taels of silver.

"It's rare for him to be so sincere, let him in."

Liu Yuliang sat on the Taishi chair as he spoke, he actually didn't understand how a little Qian, who was far away in Shandong, had given him silver every festival since a year ago.

The first time, he directly sent three thousand taels, and he seemed to be very optimistic about his career.

You know, he had only just entered the cabinet at that time, he had no foundation, and his power was not to the point where he is now, and he himself did not even expect that he would be promoted to the first assistant a few months ago.

Therefore, Liu Yuliang was still pleasantly surprised by Lu Yuan's heavy gifts at the beginning, after all, many people gave gifts at that time only to Kong Zhenyun, the first assistant of the cabinet at that time, and Yang Sichang, the minister of the cabinet.

Of course, he didn't know that Lu Yuan was a time-traveler from the later generations, and he had already known that he would replace Kong Zhenyun as the first assistant in June of the eleventh year of Chongzhen.

But Liu Yuliang later reciprocated by letting Lu Yuan's father-in-law Tang Jin be promoted to the rank of Wailang of the Military Election Division of the Ministry of War, and also let Lu Yuan also rely on his efforts to suppress bandits and become the commander of the battalion.

Now, Liu Yuliang has become the first assistant, so he naturally doesn't care about giving gifts, but after seeing Lu Yuan's heavy gift, he is still moved, and he is still interested in this military general who saluted himself before he made his career.

Tang Wenyun followed Chen Qi into Liu's Mansion and came to Liu Yuliang: "The student has seen Yuanfu!" ”

Entrusted by Lu Yuan, Tang Wenyun took 100,000 taels of silver from Lu Yuan to enter Beijing, the purpose of which was to enter Beijing to make friends with powerful people, not only for his own imperial examination career, but also for the career of his father Tang Jin and sister-in-law.

"Jiannu has entered the customs, and His Majesty has ordered the king of soldiers and horses in the world."

Liu Yuliang only said this sentence and asked Chen Qi to take Tang Wenyun down.

In Liu Yuliang's opinion, saying such a sentence is also worthy of the 10,000 taels of gifts from Lu Yuan, the president of Shandong.

"You immediately ride someone back to Linqing on a fast horse, and tell your son-in-law that Jiannu has entered the customs!"

After Tang Wenyun left Liu's mansion, he found Xiao Chunlai, who was also in Beijing to inquire about news.

Xiao Chunlai is now a wealthy businessman in the world, and he also has his own industry in the capital, of course, the real purpose is to collect intelligence for Lu Yuan in the name of doing business in the world.

Hearing Tang Wenyun say this, Xiao Chunlai nodded: "I'll ride someone back to Linqing on a fast horse!" ”

Tang Wenyun nodded: "I will immediately go to the military department to find my father, and tell you at any time when the time comes, where Jiannu is, how many people and horses, and what are the generals who led the troops." ”

Xiao Chunlai nodded and asked, "Xianggong Tang, did you say that Gongzi would come to Beijing to come to King Qin?" ”

"It should be, he said that Jiannu will go as soon as he enters the customs this time, and he can find an opportunity to mix a military merit when he enters Beijing! However, we have to tell him the direction and specific location of Jiannu's troops after entering the customs, so as not to let him enter Beijing too early and be surrounded by Jiannu, and also to avoid him leaving too late and missing the work of King Qin! ”

Tang Wenyun said.

……

On September 25, Xiao Chunlai rode out of the capital on a fast horse.

On September 27, Lu Yuan met with the people sent by Xiao Chunlai, and learned that Jiannu had entered the customs on September 22, and that Emperor Chongzhen had ordered the king.

"Immediately summon the officers above the rank of the team to the Military Administration Hall to discuss the matter!"

Lu Yuan immediately commanded Xiao Wu.

Lu Yuan knew that in the second half of Chongzhen's eleventh year, the Qing army would enter the customs, but after he really heard the news, he was still nervous.

"It is reported that Jiannu has entered the customs on September 22, the Ministry of War said that there are 100,000 soldiers, and now they are temporarily stationed outside the urn city of Shanhaiguan. In addition, Liangxiang, Zhuozhou, Yizhou, Xincheng, Xiongxian, and Dingxing were found outside the city! ”

Lu Yuan said a word, and said: "The imperial court has issued an edict from King Qin, so this official has decided to lead the army north to King Qin three days later, that is, on the first day of October!" ”

"The whole army is in a state of war!"

"Military judges enter wartime discipline mode!"

"Qingshui Town Fort has entered a state of martial law, the walls are cleared, and people entering and leaving are strictly checked!"

"The Intelligence Department has stepped up its investigation of the news of the activities of the slaves!"

"The General Staff immediately plans the route and marching preparations for the army to the north!"

Lu Yuan issued a series of instructions.

The atmosphere in the conference room of the entire Military Administration Hall instantly became tense.

Some of the officers who used to talk and laugh did not dare to say anything more.

The wartime discipline model meant that the previous discipline of beating the military stick was about to become a direct beheading.

Of course, more importantly, no one is nervous at the thought of fighting the legendary Jiannu.

After all, since Salhu, everyone in the Ming Dynasty has been talking about Jiannu and has changed color.

"Lu Lang!"

Tang Ying, who was also present at the meeting, shouted, she was even more nervous and frightened than Lu Yuan now, especially after hearing that Lu Yuan decided to go north to the queen of Qin, she instinctively wanted to stop it.

Lu Yuan patted her shoulder: "Serving the king, the loyalty of the courtiers, the responsibility of Kuang Fu Sheji, and the responsibility of men, there is no need to say it anymore, you and I have been thinking hard until now, in order to drive away the jackals to defend our homeland, and now that the jackals are really here, if they don't go north to King Qin, do you really want to wait for them to hit Shandong and slaughter our homeland?" ”

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the officers of the mighty army present: "You say yes or no!" ”

"Yes!"

The officer of the mighty army replied loudly, and the Liaomin-born officers such as Uncle Fei and Yue Changgui replied even louder, although they were nervous and even a little scared, but it was true that as Lu Yuan said, they did not want to repeat the tragedy of Liaodong in their new home in Shandong.

……

At this time, Xiao Wu ran in: "Report!" ”

"Speak!"

"Lord Futai sent an order, and the military attachés of each battalion with more than 1,000 soldiers rushed to Jinan to discuss the matter, Jiannu entered the customs, and the Beijing division was in a hurry! Your Majesty issued an edict to the king of soldiers and horses in the world! ”

Xiao Wu replied.

Lu Yuan nodded: "Go back to the post to pass the soldiers, and the next official will come immediately!" ”

Lu Yuan walked non-stop for a long time, and arrived at the governor's yamen in the evening of that day.

The military situation is urgent, once King Qin's soldiers and horses are not sent for a long time, they will be demoted and deprived of their posts and punished, so it is about their own black yarn hat, and Governor Yan Jizu will not procrastinate, and will convene the entire Shandong battalion generals on the night of the arrival of the generals.

"Deputy General Huang, you have just succeeded in suppressing the bandits, and your morale is high, are you willing to lead the troops to the king?"

Governor Yan first asked Huang Jiayin, who had the highest official position.

Deputy General Huang, who had just been promoted to the governor of the capital, stood up and replied: "Yu Futai, the last time I suppressed the bandits, the last time I suppressed the bandits, the general suffered heavy losses, and now I really can't afford to be the king. ”

Governor Yan was a little displeased, and asked the Texas staff general Xing Da: "General Xing, what about you?" ”

"At the end, the abdominal pain is unbearable, and I am asking a doctor for treatment, I am afraid that it will be difficult for King Qin."

"Then who is willing to enter the king of Jingqin for this official and save my Ming Dynasty! If you wait for Junlu to eat and serve Jun's grace, no one will have the courage to be brave! ”

Governor Yan Jizu asked.

All the generals did not answer, because everyone knew the power of Jiannu, even the Guanning army did not dare to fight with Jiannu, one lost Shenyang, two lost Liaoyang and then lost Guangning, the land of Liaodong fell into the hands of the enemy, and the so-called Guanning iron cavalry could only shrink in the city, not to mention their own inland battalion soldiers, at this time to go to King Qin is not looking for death?

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! What's more, we are ministers, and the officials are willing to go! ”
