Chapter 40: Saved!

"Li Zicheng, Dolgon has gone to attack Beijing, what are you waiting for?"

Yang Feng yelled at the Weiyuan Gate. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

His voice echoed in the sky.

"Li Zicheng, Dolgon has gone to attack Beijing, what are you waiting for!"

Then tens of thousands of Ming troops on Shanhaiguan let out tsunami-like shouts, accompanied by countless gloating laughter.

And under the north wing of the city two miles away from them, there are countless formations of Shun troops, in the middle of the Shun army, under the banner of the character, Li Zicheng, who is dressed in gorgeous golden helmets and golden armor, controls the war horse, looks at Shanhaiguan with a cold gaze, and looks at the figure that is said to be Emperor Chongzhen on the tower of Weiyuan Gate. This dog emperor who was driven out of Beijing by him at the beginning, and even his wife and children were thrown away suddenly came back in such a shocking way, and he was indeed caught off guard, before he lost 30,000 yuan and fought for a month, and he failed to defeat this Shanhaiguan, and now the dog emperor is probably even more troublesome when he comes back.

"Your Majesty, you must not be on guard!"

Bai Guangen, who was beside him, said in a low voice.

"Dolgon's army has indeed withdrawn from Ningyuan for many days, although he has suffered a lot of losses under Ningyuan City, but it is far from the point of breaking his muscles and bones, there are at least 70,000 people and horses in his hands, and this is not counting the Mongols who will definitely join, they are all cavalry, and it will only take half a month to enter the pass around the west road, if the Qing army really has to raid Beijing, we must return as quickly as possible to seize the front."

He went on to say.

"What are you afraid of, Zunhua and Gubeikou are not unmanned, tens of thousands of horses, can Dolgon fly over? There are still 50,000 troops in Beijing, no matter how many steps does Xuanhua and Jiang Jiu's men and horses take, how many steps do they have to cross Juyong Pass? Why can't they stop the Tartars, let's first lay down this Shanhaiguan and cut off that Wu Sangui! ”

Liu Zongmin said.

He killed many of his closest subordinates during the siege of the city, especially because he did not resist the Shanhaiguan for a long time, and during this time, the Shun army also accused him of torturing officials, especially robbing Wu Sangui's concubine, which was quite a meaning to make him take the blame, so he gritted his teeth with hatred for Wu Sangui!

Bai Guangen smiled bitterly.

There are indeed a large number of troops on the front line of Zunhua and Gubeikou, and there are 50,000 defenders in Beijing, but they are all surrendered troops, and they can flee in front of the Qing army in the Ming Dynasty, let alone now, but he doesn't dare to say this, after all, he also surrendered, how dare he hard-top with Liu Zongmin, how can these bandits know the power of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, that Dolgon really wants to appear in Gubeikou or Zunhua, he can almost guarantee that the only thing the defenders will do is to open the city gate and surrender.

"Shut up, order all armies, attack on all fronts, and keep this dog emperor is a scourge!"

Li Zicheng shouted.

At this moment, a cavalryman rushed along the bank of the Shihe River, and soon rushed to him and dismounted with a panicked face, knelt down and said: "King Yuchuang, a large number of Ming army sailor warships have come to the sea!" ”

"Warships? How much! ”

Bai Guangen hurriedly asked.

"The sea is full of boundlessness!"

The soldier said.

"Your Majesty, it's the sailor of Jiangnan, we can't delay any longer!"

Bai Guangen said eagerly.

Li Zicheng flicked the whip hatefully.

And at the same time, Yang Feng on Shanhaiguan also breathed a sigh of relief.

On the sea in the direction of the old dragon's head, just as the soldier who reported the news said, the boundless sails appeared, and the place where the sea and the sky met completely became a dense forest of masts, and the warships of different sizes, like clouds covering the sky, slowly moved towards the shore on the blue sea, looking extremely magnificent, his perseverance was finally rewarded, the reinforcements from Jiangnan arrived, and around him were the ecstatic cheers of countless Ming soldiers, and their perseverance was also finally rewarded.

Just as the Ming army cheered, the hundreds of thousands of Shun troops surrounding Shanhaiguan retreated like a tide.

saved.

"Your Majesty should be fortunate in Nanjing, right?"

Wang Yongji asked cautiously.

"Nanjing? I have said that I will never go to Nanjing, I will not go anywhere, I will reorganize my army in this Shanhaiguan, and then recapture the city of Beijing, and what I lost in my hands, I will take it back with my own hands. ”

Yang Feng said.

Lao Wang quickly shut his mouth, and at the same time he was relieved, the reinforcements arrived, but the reinforcements did not come to save them, but to pick up the Holy Driver in Nanjing, which he knew very well, if it was only them, those Jiangnan gentry would not care if they were idle. However, the saint can go to Nanjing, but it is impossible for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan, not to mention that there are not so many ships, even if there are ships, these soldiers and civilians are locals, and it is impossible for them to leave their hometowns and go to Jiangnan. But if the emperor leaves, although those gentry in Jiangnan will not let this side completely fend for themselves, it is impossible to serve sincerely, unless the emperor is still here, and he can continue to hold high the banner of King Qin in order to continue to bring in reinforcements and food, so the emperor must stay.

Three hours later.

"The minister is sincere, Uncle Liu Kongzhao."

"Minister Nanjing Rite Department Shangshu Wang Duo."

……

"Knock ......"

A group of ministers couldn't knock down, and looked at the emperor standing in front of them a little blankly, although they hadn't seen the saint for several years, but the saint in their memory still had a little impression, but in any case, they couldn't get in touch with the person in front of them, and the face was indeed the same as the emperor in their memory, but it was a little fatter, and the height was no different, but what was going on with the arms and thighs that were more than one thick? And what's going on with that murderous aura faintly emanating from this body?

"What? Have you forgotten what I look like? ”

Yang Feng's face sank and said.

"Bow to your majesty!"

Liu Kongzhao and Wang Duo looked at each other and hurriedly bowed, and then the others also bowed to the ground.

"Get up, it's hard for you to come all the way to the wind and waves, did you meet Song Feng Erqing on the way?"

Yang Feng said.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are the two adults Song Feng who met at the mouth of the Yangtze River."

Liu Kongzhao said.

"You know my will, right?"

Yang Feng said.

"The ministers know, but the ministers implore Your Majesty to take the community as the priority, Shanhaiguan is sandwiched between the rebellion and the Tartars, not the supreme habitability, the people of Jiangnan are looking forward to it, I implore Your Majesty to be fortunate in Nanjing as soon as possible, as for the matter of begging for thieves, it is the responsibility of the ministers, and the people of Pingxi Hou are enough here, how can there be a reason for the Holy Driver to charge into battle."

Wang Duo said.

"Wang Qing, you are an old minister, you are sincere and the country are resting together, you are all my henchmen, I will tell you the truth, so that the Ming Dynasty has come to this, I have no shame to the people of Jiangnan!"

Yang Feng said with a painful look on his face.

"Well, Your Majesty, the crime of making Beijing fall to Sheji and the dust and so on deserves death!"

Wang Duo hurriedly lay on the ground and said.

Then the officials who greeted him quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Get up, you are in Nanjing, what does this change in Beijing have to do with you? In short, I will not go to Nanjing, this Beijing was lost in my hands, then I have to recapture it with my own hands, otherwise I will die, and I will have no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors, and this is also the will of Emperor Taizu to me. As for the matter of Nanjing, it can be handed over to the Tang King to supervise the country, and the secretaries can assist him, although the Tang King was punished for violating the rules before, but he is still a little bold in this clan, and there is no problem with the ministers to assist the soldiers with their lives, and there is no problem in blocking the rebellion north of the Huai River. ”

Yang Feng said.

"Your Majesty......"

Wang Duo wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yang Feng raising his hand, so he had to wait for later, anyway, now that Li Zicheng's army has retreated, there is nothing to worry about, others are here, slowly looking for opportunities to persuade!

"How many soldiers and horses did you bring?"

Yang Feng looked at the seemingly boundless warships on the sea, and the soldiers who were landing on the dock and said.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers and others brought a total of 50,000 people, but the vast majority of them are naval forces, and land combat is not their forte, as for ordnance, ammunition, grain and grass, there are a lot of them, only 150,000 quintals of grain, and another million taels of silver, and the Fujian General Army Zheng Zhilong's department is also being ordered to go north to King Qin, it is estimated that it will arrive in half a month at most, as for His Majesty's decree to pardon the Tan people as good people and summon them to go north, Zheng Zhilong is also in charge, it is estimated that some of the Tan people will go north at that time."

Liu Kongzhao said.

In fact, Yang Feng's will seemed completely inexplicable to them, those Tan people were just beggars on the sea, belonging to the legal untouchables, because they were forbidden to live on land, so they used the boat as their home to drift among the islands, what use could these people have?

Of course, he would not have known that His Majesty the Emperor liked this.

It's not just the Tan people, either.

Next, His Majesty the Emperor is also preparing to recruit those shanty people in the mountainous areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as well as beggars, and miners, in short, he likes these duckweed of the lowest level in society, duckweed is good, duckweed has no roots, and the meaning of no roots is that they have nothing to do with the gentry, so that people can be truly loyal to themselves, and their status is low, as long as the emperor gives them civilian status, and rewards them with the land where they live, they will be sincerely grateful to the emperor, as for the land they need......

Isn't that simple?

After this toss, how much land does Beizhili want?

Not to mention anything else, the population of the three places of Xingcheng, Suizhong, and Shanhaiguan alone alone is more than one million, not counting the entire Qinhuangdao outside Shanhaiguan, and there are more than one million people in the mountains of Jianchang and Qinglong counties next to it, if his high-yield crops and sea fishing develop, even if there is no modern chemical fertilizer and pesticide urging, this area that can be completely controlled is enough to feed at least 1.5 million people.

In other words, I will also have to farm in the future, but no one can do this kind of field.

It is absolutely impossible for him to immigrate from the south of the Yangtze River to this side, how can a good family leave their hometown and go north, only these untouchables are possible, and getting rid of the untouchables is a huge temptation.
