He led the army directly to the city of Beijing, and after seeing the situation at the head of the city, he realized that he was a little wishful thinking and too optimistic.

I thought that the current Ming court was in chaos, even if it did not abandon the city and flee, Beijing's defensive force must be extremely weak, maybe it only took a burst of killing, and he could easily take people to the old capital of the Great Yuan, so as to take the steps of dominating the world.

But everything in front of him clearly told him that the Ming court had not collapsed, not only were flags fluttering everywhere in the city, but also there were plenty of soldiers and horses, and the Ming troops guarding the city also looked full of energy, and they didn't hesitate at all, as if they had already known their movements and were ready.

First of all, I remember quite clearly, in the battle of Tumu Fort, my side has almost killed the elite of the Ming Dynasty. As far as those prisoners confessed, Zhu Qizhen almost exhausted the garrison in Beijing, and the remaining soldiers and horses were only six or seven thousand, which was not enough to divide the troops to defend the city. But looking at it now, there are more than 60,000 or 70,000 defenders in the city.

However, the latter question is an excellent explanation, and a huge airship still floats high in the north of Beijing. In the process of fighting with the Ming army earlier, he had already seen this magical thing that was conducive to defense, and when he was dozens of miles away, the defenders in the city were already aware of it, so he set up a position early.

"Where did these soldiers and horses come from? Was it from a nearby town? It seems that the current leader of the Ming Kingdom also has some skills. As his mind turned, his face showed a cautious look, his eyes fell on the fierce city, and he secretly made a calculation.

At this time, more than a dozen Mongolian generals had hurried over and asked for battle one after another. After easily taking the Bauhinia Pass, they were more confident, even if the Beijing city in front of them looked more than a hundred times larger than the Bauhinia Pass, and the height of the city also made the ladders and other things prepared by the Mongolian people look a little small, but it still did not make them feel cowardly, but aroused their fighting spirit to conquer this great city.

"Taishi, as long as you give me 30,000, no, 20,000 soldiers and horses, I will definitely take this Beijing for you!" Some generals shouted for war.

"I only need fifteen thousand ......," the person next to him hurriedly interjected.

"I only lead my own soldiers and horses, and I don't want to allocate a soldier with a single soldier. However, after the city is broken, I want our Kayi to loot the city for ten days......" said a patriarch with a fierce face.

Seeing these subordinates scrambling to move troops against Beijing, Yexian felt both proud and a little vigilant in his heart. Proudly, morale is now high, and this is a good opportunity to break the city. What was vigilant was that he could see that these people did not take the defenders in Beijing to heart, and some of them underestimated the enemy.

In fact, it is no wonder that these people look down on the Ming army, because they won too easily before. Bauhinia Pass is known as Xiongguan, but they easily took it in less than two days; And those so-called elites of the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of troops were not killed by them easily, and in the end, even the emperor of the Ming Kingdom fell into their hands and became prisoners. Therefore, in their opinion, even if the Ming capital city in front of them seems to be heavily guarded at this time, it is just a false appearance.

"There is no hurry to attack the city immediately." After a little muttering, he finally spoke. These words made everyone stunned, what is wrong with the Taishi, they have all come to the target city, but they are still holding back.

"The Han people have always had a saying, called the first salute and then the soldiers, or the soldiers who surrender without a fight, and now that we are in their land, we should act according to their rules." also smiled first: "Send an envoy into the city first, and let the Ming monarchs and ministers in the city quickly open the city and surrender, so that a battle can be avoided." ”

"Ah...... Is this possible? Everyone screamed in disbelief.

"Don't forget, their emperor is still in our hands. Those border warriors may not understand the power before, but those officials in the city, as well as the new emperor named Zhu Qiyu, he will definitely understand. "I also said it again. Obviously, he still can't give up this trump card in his hand, and he still wants to try it here in Beijing.

Someone wanted to say something more, but after a glance full of authority, they finally had to obey their fate.

Why did you make this decision in the first place, is it really to do less fighting and less killing?

Of course not, how could he, who was born in the grassland and had already experienced countless predators, take human life too seriously? Even the lives of his own relatives can be sacrificed without any worries, let alone the lives of other tribes or the people of the Ming Dynasty.

That's why he made this decision, or it was based on his own interests. Because only by taking Beijing without bloodshed, his first credit is the greatest, and his reputation is the loudest. If it is a strong attack, not to mention the casualties, the reputation of the person who captured Beijing will definitely be loud, unless it is his own close trust, it is difficult to say that he will not pose a threat to himself in the future.

Moreover, there are also some problems in the mobilization of troops and horses, whether he is the main attack of the tribe that is close to him or the main attack of the tribe that is estranged from the faction, which has a lot of theories. The people under this kind of thing may not think about it, but as the de facto leader of the Mongolian tribes of the grassland now, he can't help but think about it, this is related to his overall plan for the future. After all, there is still a big sweat on the grassland now, who can guarantee that he will not win over some patriarchs and bring trouble to himself?

Not to mention that the nomadic people are simple-minded and have no calculations, they are just ordinary herdsmen. There is no one like Yexian who really holds the real power who is not a person who is meticulous and skillful. He sees things much farther than the others.

Since the Taishi has expressed his position so directly, everyone does not dare to insist anymore, so they have to obey their orders. Soon after, Xuan Chengyuan, who was also the first to take on the heavy responsibility, rode alone and came to the Yongding Gate in the capital.

When he came to the city of Beijing and looked up at this thousand-year-old city and the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Xuan Chengyuan's heart was also full of excitement.

For decades, he has dreamed countless times that he walked into the city in high spirits. Of course, in the dream, he didn't come with the Mengren killing, but relied on the imperial examination high school to appear here. It's a pity that decades have passed, but this wish has never been granted, let alone coming to the capital to participate in the examination, and he failed to even lift people.

But he Xuan Chengyuan was conceited and talented, and he couldn't be promoted because he thought about himself, just because of government fraud. After falling off the list again ten years ago, he finally made the decision that made everyone unbelievable - to go away to Mobei and become an accomplice in the Mongol invasion of the Central Plains.

And today, he was really able to walk to the city of Beijing with this identity, which made Xuan Chengyuan's heart feel a lot, but he didn't know what he thought in his heart.

After coming to the towering city wall and the towering city gate, Xuan Chengyuan took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and then raised his head and shouted to the soldiers above: "I came to negotiate with the Ming court on the order of the grassland master, do you have anyone who can call the shots, quickly open the city gate and let me in to talk!" I don't know if it's because of the agitated mood, the old man shouted out a lot of voice this time, which made the defenders of the city hear it clearly.

At this time, the defenders on the Yongding Gate are waiting for it. As early as half a day ago, the scouts on the airship had spread the news that the Mongols were running towards this direction. Although on the surface it seems that they are ready to fight, but in fact, not many people have the confidence to be able to resist the attack of the Mengren.

Just in the middle of their fears, suddenly such an old fellow came to the city alone, and kept saying that he was here to negotiate, which made them a little surprised. But this matter is not small, and it is not something that these people can do, so they quickly spread the news to the bottom and quickly reported it to Yu Qian.

Yu Qian was still thinking about when to use Lu Jin's trick at this time, and after hearing the report, he was obviously stunned for a moment: "These tartars, what kind of medicine are sold in the gourd, will they actually come to salute first and then soldier?" But since the other party has done this, Da Ming, as a state of etiquette, naturally can't be truthful, so he nodded and said, "Take people into the city to talk." However, the gates of the city cannot be opened! ”

Of course, you can enter the city without opening the city gate, and after the order, the bamboo basket was hung down from the city gate, so that Xuan Chengyuan sat inside, and then pulled it up to the city.

was able to enter Beijing in this strange way, which made Xuan Chengyuan feel even more dreamy. But at this time, he couldn't take care of these anymore, and immediately came to the yamen of the military department under the attitude of half escort and half escort of a cadre of soldiers.

On this road, the city of Beijing, which should be bustling with activity now, is extremely deserted at this time, and there are hardly any pedestrians on the road, except for the troops who are constantly patrolling by.

In fact, there is no way to do this, now that the enemy is current, and because nearly 100,000 people outside the city have been brought into the city before, the security in the city has become the top priority at this time. In order to prevent any accidents, the people were simply confined to their homes for the time being, and only after the enemy was repulsed, they were allowed to go out before it was too late.

With a somewhat strange mood, Xuan Chengyuan finally saw Yu Qian with a solemn face in the yamen of the military department. After the two looked at each other for a while, Yu Qian opened his mouth first: "Your Excellency, it should be my Ming people, right?" But why do you want to take refuge in the Tartars and do such things that forget your ancestors? There was no greeting, no hurry to ask about his intentions, his first sentence was actually directly difficult.

This was really a bit unexpected by Xuan Chengyuan, which made the old man's face suddenly red, and his original momentum was also discouraged......
