The Ming Dynasty had two capitals in the north and south, and each of the two places had a set of teams, but in the Ming Dynasty, Beijing was the center of the Ming Dynasty.

The real capable ministers of the Ming Dynasty, or the talents who are good at fighting, are basically in Beijing, and only the mediocre talents who fail in the political struggle, or who really have no ability and can't find faults, are put in Nanjing, which is actually equivalent to early retirement.

These officials in Nanjing, with their money, have nothing to do, which is tantamount to making a fool of themselves in Nanjing.

If you want to say that they don't do anything every day, they just drink tea at work, talk about poetry and songs, and live a relaxed life, they should be very happy.

It's just that he has been studying hard for more than ten years, is it just for tea?

Obviously not, the bastards in Nanjing also want to do things, but they are not capable enough, and they can't fight the gang in Beijing, so they are forced to come to Nanjing to retire.

This time, the gang in Beijing is finished, and it is their turn to turn over and be the masters, they can grasp the real power and do some practical things, but it turns out that the Ming Dynasty put them in Nanjing to mess around, it is indeed the right thing for him, the bastards are really incapable, and they are stupid to suffocate Gao Yihuan.

He attacked Xingyang and burned the grain stored in the Tartars, but Duoduo was short of food, and the Qing army temporarily retreated.

If Duoduo obtained grain and grass, he would definitely take advantage of the freezing of the Yellow River and directly cross the Yellow River on horseback.

Thinking of this, Gao Yihuan suddenly sweated behind his back, and he suddenly shouted while walking out: "Come on, come on!" ”

Gao Chengwei hurriedly came in, "Jie Shuai, what's the matter?" ”

"Cheng Wei, you immediately send fast horses to Luoyang and Guanzhong to remind them to be careful of Tartars crossing the river." Gao Yihuan commanded loudly.

Gao Chengwei was stunned for a moment, and seeing Gao Yihuan's anxious face, he hurriedly clenched his fists solemnly, "Let's arrange it." ”

He saluted, turned and went out, and as soon as he reached the door, he bumped into the same person.

"Judgment Chen!" Gao Chengxun fixed his eyes and exclaimed, Chen Mingxia was hit by him on all fours, so he hurriedly reached out and pulled him up.

Chen Mingxia stood up, didn't care about straightening his crooked hat, so he directly bypassed Gao Chengwei, walked into the hall quickly, and handed an urgent letter to Gao Yihuan, "Jieshuai, Duoduo has crossed the river from Mengjin Ferry!" ”

After Gao Yihuan heard this, his face instantly turned hideous, and he had the intention of killing.

He hurriedly took the letter from Chen Mingxia's hand, and when he unfolded it, it was written by Li Yan.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the vanguard of Duoduo's army suddenly crossed the river from Mengjin and directly crossed the river on ice, breaking through Bai Wang's first battalion and occupying the Mengjin Ferry.

Last time, Duoduo crossed the river in Xingze, but was trapped under the Tiger Prison City, this time Duoduo went directly to Mengjin, bypassing the Guancheng and directly entering Luoyang.

Because of the suddenness of the incident and the battle last year, Bai Wang suffered heavy losses, and Li Yan and Bai Wang could only retreat all the soldiers and horses to Luoyang after the ferry was lost.

The Great Wall is very important to the Central Plains, because once the Great Wall is broken, the Central Plains will be in no danger to defend.

Although the Yellow River is a natural hazard, in winter, after the "several" shaped river turns a bend, the downstream river with relatively gentle flow is easy to freeze.

The Northern Song Dynasty was threatened with Tokyo at every turn, but there was no natural danger to rely on.

Gao Yihuan did not doubt that the Tartars would cross the Yellow River, but he thought that after the First World War last year, he should be able to delay until this winter, but he didn't expect that the Tartars would not be able to make a comeback so quickly.

For a while, Gao Yihuan's face immediately became heavy.

Mengjindu is located in the north of Luoyang, at the junction of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

In its upper reaches, the Yellow River runs between the Loess Plateau and the Luliang Mountains, and the water flow is turbulent, until the Mengjin Ferry, the water flow gradually flattens out, suitable for crossing the river.

At this time, a thick layer of ice formed on the Yellow River, and countless Tartars were leading horses, tens of thousands of horses, across the Yellow River, to the Mengjin Ferry.

The Qing army's vanguard had already captured the Mengjin Ferry a few days earlier, and held the dangerous points, so the Qing army could now calmly cross the river.

Last year, Duoduo was burned by Gao Yihuan, lost more than 4,000 people, lost more than 8,000 horses, and folded his seventh brother Abatai, which affected the Qing army's plan to attack Guanzhong on two roads, and was reprimanded by Dol.

Dolgon was worried that the news would have a negative impact on the Qing court, and did not even let him return to Beijing, which made Dordor feel a sense of shame in his heart.

This time, Dolgon allocated him a batch of grain and grass, and transferred Tang Tong and Bai Guangen to surrender the army, listen to his dispatch, let him be ashamed, defeat the Henan bandits, take advantage of the situation to capture Tongguan, and destroy Li Zicheng.

After the Qing army crossed the Yellow River and captured the Mengjin ferry, the defeated army fled back to Luoyang, and Li Yan and Bai Wang began to prepare for the defense of Luoyang.

In the early morning of this day, as soon as the sky was bright, a team of white-armored cavalry entered the city, and nearly 300 cavalry rode around the city and peeped into Luoyang.

There was a lack of cavalry in the city, and although there were not many cavalry in the Qing army, no one dared to come out to fight.

The white-armored cavalry peeped unscrupulously for a long time before pulling out their horses and returning to Mengjin to report to Duoduo.

In the early morning of the next day, the sun was rising, and on the city wall of Luoyang, the soldiers and men of the Shun army were busy, moving arrows, wood, stones, fire oil and other things on the city wall.

In the wilderness, a low horn suddenly came to mind, and the busy soldiers couldn't help but straighten up, and looked northwest one after another, only to see that the earth, as if a colorful carpet had been laid, was moving in the direction of Luoyang.

The city sergeant was slightly stunned, and then remembered a rush of shouting, "There is an enemy, the Tartars are coming!" ”

The soldiers of the Shun army, who had just experienced the first battle of the Tiger Prison Pass, looked at the city from afar and found that the Tartars were overwhelming, and there were more people than last time, and they were suddenly a little uneasy.

At this time, Duoduo was wearing white armor and wanted to hang a war sword, and he had already led nearly a hundred horsemen to Luoyang City.

Luoyang is the ancient capital of several dynasties, the city wall is tall, the south looks at the Longmen, the north depends on the mountain, the east exceeds the Qianshui, the west reaches the Jianhe River, the Luoshui runs through it, the city defense is extremely perfect, it is difficult to fight at a glance, it is difficult to eat without a hundred thousand people.

"Lord Wang, fighting Luoyang is not easier than fighting the tiger prison!" Shang Kexi looked at the majestic city wall and couldn't help but be speechless.

Fighting such a city can be said to be urgent and challenging. The Qing army occupied the north, and Beijing was ceded by Li Zicheng to the Qing army, and the Qing army really never fought a big city like Luoyang.

Duoduo looked at Luoyang, and his heart was a little shocked, but he sneered: "This time the king won't fight, fence up, see if that Gao Yihuan comes?"

"Does the prince want to besiege the city and send reinforcements?" Shang Kexi raised his eyebrows, hurriedly raised his thumb, and patted his ass, "The prince is wise!" ”

Duoduo raised his hand and pointed around Luoyang, "This Luoyang is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is facing water, and it is called a natural danger from the outside to the inside, but after getting in, it is a cage." If Gao Yihuan dares to come, this king will definitely kill him. ”
