Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Tartars Enter the Prison
As soon as the Ministry of Industry delegation left, Wang Yue sent away several second ancestors.
After a few days of military training and visiting, Zhang Chengye and others shouted again: "Down with the dog emperor Chongzhen, and then step on 10,000 feet." "After watching the video replay, I was stupefied.
The second ancestor and his family did not let go of any of them, and almost all of them collapsed under the door of the Military Investigation Bureau, and were willing to fight for the glorious cause of the starting point city for the rest of their lives.
At night, inside the Golden Dragon RV.
After the fragrant and enthusiastic warmth, Wang Yue hugged Zhang Ziyun's slender waist and said, "I'm going to start being busy in a few days." ”
Zhang Ziyun gently hammered his chest and said, "When have you not been busy?" ”
"This time it's different, the Tartars are coming!" Wang Yue said.
"What?" Zhang Ziyun turned over and looked at him: "How do you know, the Tartars will hit the starting point city?" ”
Wang Yue looked at her perfect delicate body and couldn't help but swallow again.
He smiled and pinched her nose, "Don't ask me how I know." Today is now, 100,000 Tartars are storming the two passes of Xifengkou and Dushikou, and I estimate that they will soon break through the passes. They came here to sack the Jingshi, can he let it go of the starting point city? ”
Zhang Ziyun said anxiously: "Then what should I do?" Can this place be held? ”
She didn't know much about the defenses of the starting point city, although she knew that Wang Yue had powerful weapons, but it was a hundred thousand vicious tartars, and the starting point city had too few troops.
"Fool!" Wang Yue hugged her in his arms: "Now it's not a matter of defending the city, it's the arrogance of me to fight out and kill the Tartars." ”
This man's ambition fascinated Zhang Ziyun and gave her confidence.
At this time, the important passes of the Great Wall, Xifengkou and Dushikou, were ignited one after another.
On June 27, the Qing army's 100,000 Eight Banner Soldiers, led by the kings of Dorowuying, Azig and Bel Abatai, launched an overwhelming offensive against these two passes.
The soldiers guarding the pass of the Ming Dynasty hurriedly responded to the battle, relying on the Great Wall to resolutely resist, but still suffered heavy losses, killing more than 3,000 people in one day, and repelling several attacks of the Qing army in a row.
The report of the battle for help flew to the capital division with the fast horse and flew to the Xuanda Governor's Palace.
Emperor Chongzhen during this period of time because of the frequent reports of the eradication of Liukou in various places, the life was quite smooth, but I did not expect that the early dynasty had just finished discussing the matter of the folk righteous man Wang Yue to build the road, and the news of the Qing army rushing to the pass followed.
Two years later, the Qing army attacked again, and Emperor Chongzhen, who was only shocked, turned pale.
Immediately convene the ministers to discuss countermeasures.
"What does Liang Tingdong, the governor of Xuanda, eat? The Qing soldiers can reach Xifengkou and Dushikou to pass through his defense area, is he blind? Are the 80,000 soldiers of the Xuanda Governor's District all decorations? Chongzhen couldn't bear it anymore and was furious.
A group of ministers were silent.
Chongzhen saw that no one was talking, so he had to ask: "Ladies and gentlemen, Aiqing, Jiannu is about to break through, is there a good plan?" ”
This is what everyone can expect, there are only 10,000 troops at the two passes, and more than 3,000 have already been lost, and the breakthrough is just around the corner.
None of the ministers dared to talk much, they didn't want to take responsibility in the first place, not to mention that the emperor was also a lord who was not easy to serve. Yuan Chonghuan's example is not far away, the 100,000 Qing army is an invincible existence in their minds, defeat is inevitable, who will take responsibility after defeat? That's hard to say.
Seeing that no one spoke, Chongzhen had no choice but to name him.
"Wen Aiqing, tell me!"
Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, trembled with fright when he heard the emperor call his name.
Wen Tiren has one specialty, that is, political struggle.
He came out of the squad and said: "Emergency transfer of Shanxi Xuanda Jizhou Guanning general troops into the Beijing Division. ”
Chongzhen frowned and said: "The Guanning army can't move, Huang Taiji has failed to attack the city, and the garrison is outside the pass, this is a containment plan." ”
Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, saw that he couldn't run, so he should take the initiative.
He went out and said: "The minister thought that Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, Wang Zhong, the general soldier of Shanxi, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, Dong Yongwen, the general soldier of Baoding, and Zu Dashou, the general soldier of Shanyong, came to the rescue. ”
The second assistant of the cabinet, Qian Shisheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said urgently, "Zu Dashou can't move!" ”
"When is it, why don't you move?" Chongzhen said angrily, "Except for Zu Dashou, the others are Tartar opponents? ”
"So, how many soldiers and horses are there?" Qian Shisheng looked at Zhang Fengyi and asked.
"Five thousand each, 15,000 ancestors have a birthday, a total of 35,000."
"Not enough!" Chongzhen said categorically: "According to the report from the front, there are about 100,000 Jiannu troops. ”
"Then requisition Zu Kuan, Zu Dale, Li Chongzhen, and Ma Rulong, a total of 20,000." Zhang Fengyi said.
Chongzhen turned around with his backhand, and after standing still, he said: "Dispatch the Governor of Xuan, Liang Tingdong, to come to the rescue." If there is another mistake, look up and see me! After passing the customs, Jiannu can reach Tianshou Mountain, which is the place where the ancestors are buried. As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Fengyi.
Zhang Fengyi's hairs stood up all over his body! As the secretary of the military department, let people hit under their noses and didn't know! Jisi's mutinous military department Shangshu Wang Qia was executed, the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum was wrecked, the emperor was not seriously responsible, and the Changping Imperial Mausoleum was wrecked again, and his head could only be handed over to the emperor.
Thinking of this, he knelt down on his knees, "Your Majesty, please go out of Beijing to supervise the division and fight the thieves!" ”
Chongzhen's eyes widened, "You want to come to the battle array in person?" ”
"Yes, the minister will repay the lord Long En with blood!"
Chongzhen slapped his thigh, "Okay! Civil officials are like this, and military generals dare not slack off. I will give you Shang Fang Sword, 10,000 gold, and 500 reward cards! ”
After a pause, he said, "Liang Tingdong is the governor of the towns on the West Road, and you are the governor of the towns on the East Road, raise the hidden supervision army, and issue an order immediately!" ”
On June 30, the Qing army broke through the Dushikou Pass and entered, and the remnants of the Ming army retreated to Changping.
The Qing soldiers invaded Juyongguan and Changping North Road again.
On July 3, martial law was imposed in Beijing.
Chongzhen urgently ordered his ministers Li Guofu to guard the Bauhinia Pass, Xu Jinzhong to guard the Fallen Horse Pass, Zhang Yuanheng to guard the Longquan Pass, and Cui Liangyong to defend the Pass.
Then ordered Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, to inspect the border passes.
On July 4, the ninth year of Chongzhen, the king of Dorowu County, Azig and Yangguli, led more than 50,000 Qing soldiers, after conquering the Dushikou, Diaoya Fort, and Chang'anling Forts, they came in a mighty way, and stopped the pace of the army in front of Juyong Pass. While sending troops to plunder everywhere, they waited for the Qing troops of the Raoyu Belle Abatai Department who entered the pass from Xifengkou on the other road, and looked forward to the convergence of the two armies in Changping, attacking inside and outside, and breaking through the Juyong Pass in one fell swoop.
The situation in Juyong Pass is dangerous, Shi Yun: Beijing has Juyong Pass, You Qin has Kunhan, and Shu has Jianmen. This pass is the most powerful in the world, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.
The Azig tribe sent a unit to attack Yanqing Prefecture and captured 15,000 men and animals. For a time, the Qing army passed through the Xuanfu Town East Road Security Guard, Huailaiwei, Yanqing Prefecture, Yongningwei and other places were full of beacons, like hell on earth.
The Ming military department spread the word to the world and ordered the general soldiers from all over the country to quickly lead the army to aid King Qin.
The Qing soldiers of the Abatai Department also attacked the Xifeng Pass, and the Qing soldiers went deep again, slightly invaded the West Mountain, and entered the Juyong Pass from the back of the Tianshou Mountain.
Seeing that the thieves were so rampant, the imperial court issued three orders, reprimanded them sternly, and ordered the soldiers of the world to gallop into the starry night to rescue the Beijing Division, and limit the military horses of each town to start with the arrival of the official document to the day, and arrive in Beijing within eight days.
The form became more and more severe, and under the severe reprimand of the imperial court, throughout July, Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, Wang Zhong, the general soldier of Shanxi, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, Dong Yongwen, the chief soldier of Baoding, and the ancestor of the general soldier of Shanyong. In addition, Guan, Ning, Ji, and Mi all led the troops to help.
