Welcome to Guanshu Network:

After entering the Jiashen year, Song Youliang became more and more concerned about the situation in the Guannei. Jin Yiwei under the command of Luo Yangxing sent three times the manpower into the customs to inquire about the news, and there were more than 600 pigeons used to transmit information every day, and tens of thousands of catties of feed for the pigeons were fed every month. All kinds of information continued to spread from Guannai to Liaoyang

"This Hong Chengchou~" Song Youliang looked at a report about Hong Chengchou with a smile, it turned out that after Hong Chengchou was in a dilemma, he had been thinking about how to get out of the predicament. Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou were also unwilling to fight with Li Zicheng, so the two dragged the Guanning army back to Shanhaiguan under the pretext that the soldiers were unstable and homesick

Emperor Chongzhen was so angry that he smoked, but he was helpless, and he had to be comforted with good words

Immediately, Hong Chengchou went to the table, saying that he was originally a supervisor, but now he has no teacher to supervise, and asked to beg for bones and return to his hometown in Fujian to support his mother. 4。

Where is Chongzhen willing to follow? But Hong Chengchou was determined to leave, and he went on the twelve tables in a row, and Chongzhen didn't stay in the middle of it. Hong Chengchou simply imitated the officials of Wanli and hung the seal

In the face of Li Zicheng from Shanxi, Emperor Chongzhen, in order to save the bad situation at that time, Chongzhen also took many measures. One measure was the decision to transfer Wu Sangui's troops to defend Beijing. One measure was to transfer Tang Tong, the general soldier of Miyun, to Juyong Pass, and at the same time appoint a eunuch named Du Zhizhi, that is, Du Xun's supervisor.

On March 15, Li Zicheng's army conquered Huailai, and then came to the foot of Badaling without stopping. 6。 Badaling is the barrier of mediocrity, and the danger of mediocrity is not in Guancheng but in Badaling. The north and south of Badaling Pass City is the Great Wall that stretches for thousands of miles. As soon as Li Zicheng saw that the terrain of Badaling was dangerous, he planned to change the route of the army's march. The local people offered advice and said that there is a village about 20 miles west of Badaling, called Bangshuiyu, and there is a Shixia City from Bangshuiyu, although there are Ming Dynasty defenders there, but only a few hundred people. If you conquer the Stone Gorge and climb the mountain from the Stone Gorge, you can bypass the Badaling and go straight to Juyong Pass. Li Zicheng was overjoyed and decided to bypass Badaling and enter Beijing from Shixia.

Guarding Shixia City is the chief military officer Ma Dai, there are 300 soldiers, Ma Dai, Yu Xizu are loyal and good generals who swear to defend the Ming Dynasty to the death, they defend with danger, with one as a hundred, Li Zicheng attacked the city several times, were killed by the Ming army on the head of the city with cannons, firearms, bows and arrows. 6。 At that time, the weather was gloomy, there was no daylight, and in the afternoon there was a strong wind, the wind swept the sand and dust, the sky was dark, the defeated peasant army, and once again a fierce attack, the Ming army in the city was few, and they couldn't take care of that side after taking care of this side, and what was even worse was that the gunpowder ran out, and the gunners were in a hurry.

At the moment, all that was the "mighty general" (iron cannon) and gunpowder was enough to ignite a cannon. Ma Dai ordered the gunner to be in the right position, and the muzzle of the cannon was directly facing the banner of the king outside the city, and the banner was whistling and fluttering in the wind, Ma Dai knew that the flag was Li Zicheng's command position, and the thief captured the king first, as long as Li Zicheng's command position was blown up, there was a million troops, and they had to be dispersed. Seeing the target, he personally went to light the cannon known as the "mighty general". 8。 Unexpectedly, due to the weather, the fire was lit, but it didn't sound, and it became a stinky cannon. At this time, Li Zicheng's army set up ladders, crossbow arrows, waved flags and shouted, and beat drums to help, and had the momentum of breaking through the city.

When the "mighty general" wielded his power, it turned into a stinky cannon, and Ma Dai said angrily: "What do you want!" "With a sword, he cut the cannon out of a bevel more than an inch deep and a foot long, and then told the sergeant to push the cannon down the city. When the Eight-Nation Coalition entered China, this cannon was transported to Tokyo by the Japanese soldiers, and now there is a "mighty general" on display in the Great Wall Museum of China in Badaling, which is another statue without a wound.

Ma Dai returned to his mansion with a full sense of serving the country, and committed suicide with his wife.

The one guarding Badaling was garrisoned by Yu Xizu, with 300 soldiers. 7。 The Shun army went around from Shixia City to the back to attack Badaling, the archers covered, climbed the ladder to climb the city, blasted under the city, and attacked in an all-round way, so that the Ming army could not take care of the upper and lower levels, and the left and left could not take care of the right. The strategy worked. There are only 100 Ming troops defending the city, and although Yu Xizu has a good command, it is inevitable that he will lose the other. Yu Xizu asked Juyong Pass for help, but the Juyong Pass guard ignored him. Not only did they not have a single soldier, but they were not even given gunpowder or salaries. The Badaling soldiers had neither gunpowder nor food, and when they saw that Li Zicheng's army was about to attack the city, they were so anxious that they wept bitterly. Yu Xizu was so angry that he stomped his feet and scolded, scolding Tang Tong, Du Zhizhi had bad intentions and committed treason to the enemy.

In fact, Yu Xizu was wrong to blame Tang Tong, and Tang Tong was worried about housework at this time. Let's say that Tang Tong hired a gentleman at home to teach the child, the teacher's surname is Wang, one day Mr. Wang suffered from a cold, Tang Tong's wife Li Yueying asked her son to hold the quilt and send it to Mr. Wang, but he didn't expect that there was an embroidered shoe wrapped in it. 1。 Tang Tong came back to visit Mr. in the study, and now there was an embroidered shoe on the ground, so he suspected that Mrs. Li Yueying and Mr. Wang had **. No matter how Yueying explained, Tang Tong didn't believe it, Tang Tong said, in the middle of the night, you go to call Mr. Wang's door, you have to call it softly, if Mr. Wang doesn't open the door, it proves that you two are good people. If you open the door, it means that you two have fornication. Do you dare to call the door? Li Yueying was forced to come here, so she had to call the door, but Mr. Wang not only did not open the door, but also reprimanded Li Yueying. Only then did Tang Tong believe in his wife's chastity, and he also believed that Mr. Wang was indeed a good person. By the time he finished his household affairs and was about to defend the city, it was already too late, and Li Zicheng's army had already attacked Shixia City and Badaling. 4。 Although the Ming army defending the city tried their best to resist, they did not save the fate of defeat.

However, Tang Tong still has a little backbone, Li Zicheng's army came to attack Juyong Pass, Tang Tong led the troops to fight, and Liu Zongmin killed a group, but Du Xun, the supervising army, was already scared. Ignoring Tang Tong, who was still fighting bloodily, he took the initiative to surrender Li Zicheng. Tang Tong, who was overwhelmed by the enemy, had to surrender to Li Zicheng

Li Zicheng saw Du Xun and scolded: "Sell the master for glory, and betray the master to be beheaded!" Du Xuntian replied shamelessly: "The villain knows the destiny of heaven and the current affairs." Li Zicheng was overjoyed when he heard this, so he released Du Xun and rewarded him.

After capturing Juyong Pass, Jiang Ping, the general soldier of Datong, also surrendered to Li Zicheng. 8。 Li Zicheng's army marched all the way to Beijing.

On the morning of 17 March, when a part of Li Zicheng's cavalry arrived outside Beijing, the first to be surrounded were the Desheng Gate and Anding Gate in the north, the Xizhi Gate and the Fucheng Gate in the west, and the east gate and the outer city gates of the inner city were not surrounded by the Dashun army until the afternoon of 17 March, and there were cavalry patrolling the suburbs of the outer city. Since then, the city of Beijing has been completely cut off from the outside world.

When the 20,000 or 30,000 vanguard cavalry led by Li Shuangknee and Li You of the Dashun army effortlessly routed the thousands of Beijing battalion soldiers defending Shahe City and drove to the Desheng Gate, Wang Yongji, the governor of Jiliao stationed in Yongping, sent 100,000 urgent military secrets to Chaoyangmen, which was about to be closed, and sent them directly to the Tongzheng Division. 4。 When the Shangguan of the Tongzheng Xitang saw that it was a military secret sent by the 600-mile Tang horse, he did not dare to open the seal, did not dare to delay, and immediately sent it to the palace. According to Wang Yongji's secret recital, Song Youliang personally led 30,000 elite soldiers to Shanhaiguan on the 16th, begging the emperor to make sure that Beijing would hold on for several days until Song Youliang and Song Youliang's reinforcements arrived. Wang Yongji's secret performance made Chongzhen feel that he was in a desperate situation, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic for a while, and slapped the case with his palm, and said loudly: "Song Youlianggui is really a loyal minister!" ”

happened to come to add incense after Zhou, and was shocked when she heard the emperor slap the case with his palm, but she didn't hear what the emperor said next. She hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in, and when she saw that the emperor was overjoyed, she felt relieved, and said softly, "Your Majesty, why did you shoot the imperial case?" Chongzhen said: "Song Youliang has led tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Shanhaiguan to Qinwang, Beijing City doesn't matter!" ”

Zhou Hou said: "I have been in the country for 300 years, and the national foundation is forever." 7。 Since His Majesty Yingzong, Beijing has been besieged several times, and it has been able to turn evil into good fortune, and this time it is the same. Please don't be too anxious and damage the royal body from now on. Please give an edict and urge Song Youliang's rescuers to come. ”

Chongzhen nodded: "Call the celebrant to come!" ”

Zhou Hou immediately withdrew from the warm pavilion and summoned the eunuchs waiting outside the palace, and the eunuchs came to the ceremonial eunuchs. Taking advantage of this time, Chongzhen wrote an edict to Song Youliang with a pen: Tell Song Youliang, Xibo, to lead a large army to Beijing and suppress the rebels to relieve the danger of the Beijing division!

After the celebrant and eunuch took this emperor's edict, he covered a "Chongzhen Imperial Pen" seal on the yellow paper, sealed it, and added the five words "six hundred miles of flying delivery" on the envelope, and the month, day and time of the registration document were directly sent to the Ministry of War without going through the cabinet, and the Tang horse should be sent out of the capital immediately.

After the week, the incense was added to the Baoding-style copper incense burner in the Chenghua year, and a cup of fragrant tea was sent and placed on the imperial case. She saw that the emperor was meditating on his thoughts, thinking that he had been eating abnormally for days, sleepless at night, and haggard enough, and it was rare that he was in a slightly better mood at the moment, so she said softly to him: Your Majesty, since there is great news, Song Youliang is about to lead Guan Ning's elite soldiers to relieve the siege of Beijing, please let your Majesty relax your sacred heart a little and go to the Yangdezhai royal couch to rest for a while. ”

Chongzhen looked at her, did not make a sound, and continued to think about the military situation of Wang Yongji, the governor of Jiliao. He knew that Wang Yongji had personally galloped to Ningyuan and urged Song Youliang to lead his troops to serve the king. Later, he received a flying message from Wang Yongji, saying that Song Youliang was walking towards Shanhaiguan and that he would be able to reach Guanmen on 16 March, and that he would first gallop back to Yongping to make arrangements for the resettlement of the Liao people in Guanguan, and there would be no news in the future. Now Chongzhen is in despair, and when he suddenly receives Wang Yongji's secret music, it is like seeing a savior in a desperate place, and he naturally can't help but be ecstatic in his heart. Chongzhen picked up the secret music and re-watched it, nodded again and again, and seemed to say to himself to the palace maid and Empress Zhou who were standing in front of him: "Song Youliang is really a rare loyal minister, and he has led tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Shanhaiguan to save Beijing!" ”
