In the morning of the next day, all the courtiers discovered an amazing thing, Zhang Bin, the second assistant of the cabinet, was gone!

As long as you are not blind, you can find out about this, because the cabinet scholars were originally at the front of the courtiers, the closest step to the emperor, and there were only five cabinet scholars in total at this time, and suddenly there was one less, which could be seen at a glance.

All the courtiers who don't know the truth are secretly shocked in their hearts, the emperor and the second assistant Zhang Bin do not deal with it is almost a well-known thing among the courtiers, many people are speculating whether the emperor suddenly cleaned up Zhang Bin ruthlessly!

In the early days of the dynasty, Chongzhen did not mention Zhang Bin from beginning to end, let alone mention Jiannu's attack on Haizhou City, because he was afraid of causing panic, and now the Ming Dynasty has been full of thieves, and it is out of control, if the matter of Jiannu's attack on Haicheng is announced again, what will happen to the result, I can't imagine it.

Although he is not very familiar with the world, he has seen the chaos of a dynasty when it is about to fall in some history books, if everyone thinks that this dynasty is about to fall, down to the people of Li and the high-ranking officials of the court will make some crazy moves, and they can't control it.

This kind of thing is not alarmist, Chongzhen saw the chaos of the country after the previous literary and historical officials polished, a dynasty is really about to perish, the turmoil, more than ten times more terrible than what he saw, not to mention others, just say himself, when the Ming Dynasty was about to die, he not only forced the queen and all the concubines to hang themselves, but also cut his daughter with his own hands, the behavior was crazy, it was simply appalling!

Of course, at this time, the Ming Dynasty has deviated from the original historical trajectory, and it is unlikely that the country will be destroyed, but Chongzhen has an illusion that the Ming Dynasty is in danger, because all he sees is the image of the country.

For example, in Bashu, the governor Shi Wei led 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry and 50,000 foot soldiers to attack for several months, and even Bazhou couldn't get through, and the country of abundance became a world of anti-thieves.

For example, in the Central Plains, the general soldier Zuo Liangyu led an army of 50,000 and the anti-thieves in Huaiqing Mansion for more than a month, not only did they not recapture Huaiqing Mansion, but even the Henan Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion next to it were captured by the anti-thieves.

For example, in Nanzhili, the thieves captured the entire Luzhou Mansion, but the Nandu Military Department had nothing to do with them.

These are not the most terrifying, the most terrible thing is that Jiannu suddenly waved his army to surround Haizhou, nearly 200,000 Jiannu, it makes people shudder to think about it, and what is even more terrifying is that this is not all the troops of Jiannu, and there are more than 100,000 cavalry in Jiannu missing!

At this time, he was already flustered, at this time, he really felt a little unable to hold on, if Zhang Bin didn't resist the attack of Jiannu, then Daming was really not far from the country, because the troops of Gyeonggi and Liaodong are almost all the troops that Daming can mobilize now, if it doesn't work again, what else can he use to resist Jiannu, what else can he use to exterminate the thieves!

Chongzhen was flustered and in a trance, and the courtiers were frightened and trembling, everyone had no heart to deal with political affairs, and the morning dynasty ended hastily that day.

After the end of the early dynasty, many courtiers couldn't help but start inquiring.

Why did the second assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Bin, disappear from Master Zhang?

Why didn't the emperor mention Lord Zhang?

Lord Zhang, is this going to the edict or to the underworld!

No one answered these questions, because the ministers who participated in the court meeting yesterday were all given gag orders by Chongzhen, and no one dared to talk nonsense.

Where did Zhang Bin go?

At this time, Zhang Bin is in Shanhaiguan.

After the end of the court meeting yesterday, he went back to his house to say goodbye to his wife and children, and rushed to Shanhaiguan by train overnight, not that he thought that Haizhou City was about to be unbearable, so he rushed to the rescue, the reason why he did this was mainly to scare and scare Chongzhen, so that this faint monarch thought that the situation in Liaodong had reached a very critical level, and if he couldn't do it again, then the Ming Dynasty would be over.

Because this is the only way to make this guy honest, otherwise this guy will always have some moths to rectify himself, and he will annoy people to death.

At this time, the railway network near Gyeonggi has been basically completed, and the speed of the army's movement is quite terrifying, not long after he arrived at Shanhaiguan, Ma Xianglin has already led 30,000 Sichuan army white pole soldiers to rush over, and Lu Xiangsheng and Qi Yuangong are all leading the army to set off overnight, anyway, you can sleep on the train, and you don't have to worry about the soldiers being exhausted because of the overnight rush.

The only thing to worry about here is the problem of no lights at night, there are no electric lights here, let alone searchlights, the train at night, purely by the moonlight, fortunately this is in the most serious period of the Xiaoice River natural disaster, the entire northern Daming summer and autumn basically no rain, every day is almost a clear sky, there are no clouds at all, the moonlight at night is exceptionally bright, as long as the train runs slower, there is no big problem.

The next morning, when the courtiers were still asking where he had gone, Lu Xiangsheng and Qi Yuangong had already led the Tianxiong army and the Qi family army to Shanhaiguan, and at this time, almost all the wheels of Dongfan Jiuwei had gathered at the port near Shanhaiguan.

Zhang Bin did not stay in Shanhaiguan for long, as soon as Lu Xiangsheng and Qi Yuangong arrived, he led the Tianxiong Army, the Qi Family Army and the Sichuan Army to step on the wheels and go straight to Gaizhou.

This Gaizhouwei is only more than 400 miles away from Shanhaiguan in a straight line, and it is a matter of two or three hours to take the sea route by wheel, and in the afternoon of the same day, he led an army of 50,000 to Gaizhouwei, and at this time, Dolgon and Azig were still filling in the trenches.

At about the afternoon of this day, on the wharf of the fishing port in the northwest of Gaizhou Wei, Mao Wenlong and his generals were waiting, and a dense black spot finally appeared on the sea in front of him.

To tell the truth, Jiannu's sudden siege of Haizhou really startled him, because he only had a total of 30,000 horses, if Jiannu rushed over, he really couldn't stand it, fortunately, Jiannu had just begun to attack Haizhou City, Zhang Bin ordered someone to send the news, he would arrive with reinforcements the next day.

At this time, there are trains and wheels, and the speed of the army's movement is a little incomprehensible even to Mao Wenlong, because the speed is too outrageous.

Of course, this is a good thing, the speed of army mobilization is fast, it will be difficult for Jiannu to carry out a sneak attack, if Jiannu loses the advantage of strong mobility, with their population background, it is impossible to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, this point, Mao Wenlong, who has experienced a hundred battles, is quite clear.

Fast, really fast.

Looking at the rapidly approaching fleet of wheeled boats, the excitement on Mao Wenlong's face became even stronger.

After a while, the forward of the wheel boat fleet had already sailed into the port, and as soon as the first wheel boat docked, Zhang Bin jumped down from it with a smile on his face, opened his arms and shouted: "Zhennan, long time no see." ”

Seeing this, Mao Wenlong rushed up with an arrow step, gave Zhang Bin a bear hug, and patted Zhang Bin on the back a few times, then let go of his hand and said excitedly: "Shuangquan, you came so fast." ”

Zhang Bin said proudly: "Hahaha, if it weren't for Jiandou and Yuangong, I would have been able to come over last night." ”

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng, Qi Yuangong, Ma Xianglin and other generals also jumped off the boat, and Mao Wenlong couldn't help but go up and give everyone a bear hug, and the scene suddenly became extremely eager.

Zhang Bin waited for them to finish making love, and then pulled Mao Wenlong and asked, "How is the situation in Haizhou City now, what does Boya say?" ”

Mao Wenlong said lightly: "Haizhou City is fine, Jiannu has been busy for two days and didn't even touch the edge of the city wall, but was killed by Boya two or three thousand people." At this time, Jiannu was filling in the trench, Boya asked me not to worry about him, Jiannu would definitely not be able to break through Haizhou City at this point, he was worried about me, afraid that Jiannu would be too scared by him to attack Haizhou, and ran to attack Gaizhou. ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he couldn't help but be relieved: "It's good that Haizhou City is fine, I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just afraid that Jiannu can also run around with Hongyi cannons, then it's troublesome, it seems that Jiannu doesn't have this ability." ”

Mao Wenlong looked at the dense wheels on the sea, and couldn't help but propose: "Shuangquan, or we will lead the army to set off tomorrow to copy Jiannu's back road and do this guy!" ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and said: "No, not tomorrow, our little strength may not be able to do Jiannu, don't forget, Huang Taiji still has 60,000 Manchu Eight Banner cavalry and 60,000 Mengbaqi cavalry, if these two cavalry are counted, the Jiannu army on the side of Haizhou City is not 180,000 but 300,000!" Who knows if Huang Taiji wants to surround and send reinforcements, we can't lead this person to take risks, we need to gather more people and horses to make plans. ”
