Chapter 222 Talking about War in the City

Wang Chengyin is a general in the official position of Yongguan, and of course his subordinates also have envoys, and they are also his right-hand men. One of the www.biquge.info is called Wang Pei, who is his own nephew and is now his commander of the Chinese army. The other is named Liu Zhen, who is the nephew of Liu Ce, the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, and is a guerrilla who leads the troops in Juyong Pass.

These two people are Wang Chengyin's henchmen, and at this time, standing under Nanguan City with Wang Chengyin, they were also nervous when they saw that their master would be left out in the cold by the emperor who suddenly arrived.

At this time, Wang Pei pondered and said: "A few days ago, I only heard that Long Live Lord was going to Deling to bury the first emperor, and no one told us that Long Live Lord was going to come to this Juyong Pass!" In the final analysis, this is the above omission, and it has little to do with our failure to go out of the city in time to greet us, uncle don't panic! ”

Liu Zhen also said: "Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless for adults to worry. On the contrary, it is better to serve with all your heart, and perhaps there is room for remedy. Long live the emperor, if you want to care, you have to worry about the above, and the eight poles can't beat a little shrimp like us! Adults don't have to filter! ”

Wang Chengyin listened to the persuasion of the two, and felt somewhat relieved, but he himself knew the situation in Juyongguan, and it was good to say that the emperor had taken a look at the flowers, and at most the future was affected, but it could be said that he was aware of the truth, so it was not as simple as losing his future, and he might lose his head if he didn't get it!

However, he looked at Liu Zhen in front of him and nodded, he still felt that what Liu Zhen said was reasonable, if it really collapsed one day, it was not only himself who would be cleaned up, and the uncle of the son-in-law in front of him would probably not and would not dare to sit idly by and die without help! Besides, it may not have come to this point!

Wang Chengyin shook his head, temporarily got rid of those negative thoughts, and said to Liu Zhen and Wang Pei: "Now that the Lord Long Live has taken Sun Ge Lao and Li Ge Lao to Juyong Pass, I don't know if Liu Dashuai, who is far away in Jizhou, knows it, and it is imperative to send someone to deliver the letter quickly, Dashuai is the chief military officer of our Jizhen Army, what he said, I want to come to the emperor to give a few thin noodles!" ”

After saying this, Wang Chengyin made a decision, and said immediately: "Wang Pei, you go to Zhang Luo's manpower, go to the major restaurants and restaurants in the city, and let them prepare delicious food and drink in advance." Liu Zhen, you immediately send someone out of the city, 600 miles urgently, go to Jizhou to report to the marshal, just say that the emperor is now in Juyong Pass, please come to see the driver! ”

After Wang Pei and Liu Zhen listened to Wang Chengyin's arrangement, they immediately hugged their fists and promised, turned around and left.

At this time, Wang Chengyin suddenly said: "Liu Zhen! Then send someone to Jingshi to meet Li Dudu in Xiangcheng Bofu, and say that the emperor has come to Juyongguan! ”

Liu Zhengang was about to clench his fists and promise, only to hear Wang Chengyin say again: "After the people are sent out, you quickly gather all the manpower inside and outside the city, and find as many people as you can find in the register. ”

After saying these words, the strong uneasiness in Wang Chengyin's heart temporarily dissipated, everything that should be done and what could be done was done, there should be no loopholes!

Thinking of this, Wang Chengyin waved his hand at Wang Pei and Liu Zhen, and let his right-hand man quickly go his separate ways.

As soon as the arrangement was made here, Wang Guoxing came down from the city tower again, Wang Chengyin hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, such a high-ranking official and dignitary was not something that a mediocre guard like him could easily reach, so he was particularly in awe at this time.

Wang Guoxing knew the reason for the emperor's unhappiness, so he naturally didn't have a good face for Wang Chengyin, but simply told him to hurry up and prepare food for the emperor and his entourage, and there was nothing else.

Jinyi Weibei Zhen sent Wang Guoxing to send an order and asked Juyongguan to prepare food for the emperor and his party, which made Wang Chengyin feel relieved, after all, if the emperor didn't let him prepare, he would be even more afraid!

About half an hour later, Emperor Chongzhen, with the Minister of Military Aircraft, and his personal attendants, all had lunch on the tower of Nanguan City.

After the Shenji battalion entered the city, it was stationed under the tower of Nanguan City, and at this time the meal was also completed, Liu Wenbing and Wen Zhenmeng came to the city and asked the emperor to behave.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had rested in the tower on the city for more than half an hour, looked a little better, and saw Liu Wenbing and Wen Zhenmeng come in to pay their respects, beckoning to them, and signaling them to be exempt from courtesy.

Seeing that the cronies and courtiers around him were calmly waiting for him to speak, Emperor Chongzhen also knew that the unpleasant performance when he first came to Juyong Pass made these people worried, so he thought about it at this time and said: "I came to Juyong Pass in front of my heart, and my heart was full of expectations. This Juyong Pass is the throat of our Ming Dynasty Jingshi and Xuanfu and Datong, not only the situation of the mountains and rivers is extremely precipitous, but also the strategic position is extremely important.

"I originally thought that there was Shanhaiguan in the east and Juyong Pass in the west, and my Ming Jingshi was as stable as Mount Tai, but this Juyong Pass made my heart full of unease. How can such a Yongguan ensure that the west of the capital is as stable as Mount Tai?! How do I sleep peacefully in the Forbidden City?! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he looked at Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua, and paused slightly.

The two immediately left their seats and knelt on the ground, saying, "The ministers are guilty." ”

Wen Zhenmeng, Liu Wenbing, Wang Guoxing and others also quickly followed and fell to their knees.

Huang Degong, Liu Tingjie and others, who were originally wearing helmets and armor, pressing the handle of their swords with their hands, and guarding the periphery, also knelt down in an uproar at this time.

I only heard Sun Chengzong say: "Your Majesty said so, how can you let the ministers deal with themselves!" The ministers have worried His Majesty so much, and the sin deserves death! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Sun Aiqing and Li Aiqing don't have to be like this!" What I just said, although it is a feeling, is not aimed at the two of you! I also know that the Ming military and government have accumulated shortcomings for a long time, and this has been the case for decades, and it is not the fault of the two of you. Arise, all of you. ”

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen no longer paid attention to everyone, but continued: "Juyong Guanxi is Shanxi and Datong, and the north is Xuanfu and Jizhen, and there are three major battalions of the Beijing Division, which will indeed not suffer from the disaster of war for a while, but not being soldier at this time does not mean that he will not be soldier in the future, and he will not be soldier for a while, and it does not mean that he will never be soldiered. Nowadays, the first-line fortresses of Ningjin in Liaodong are connected, the defense is consolidated, and there is no chance to take advantage of the captivity. However, does it mean that I, the Ming monarch and the minister, can sit back and relax?!

"In my opinion, this is not the case. I often worry about the situation in the grasslands of the northern part of the country, and the army has moved westward, and the troops have reached the south of the upper reaches of the Xilamulun River. ”

"However, even with a barrier like Karaqin and Rehe Fort, is it safe and sound to the north of my Daming?! In my opinion, this is not the case. The Saibei grassland is high and wide, and even if the Jianyu can't knock from the direction of Karaqin, they can also make a detour to other Mongolian tribes, such as Chahar and Tumut. Even my Ming Dynasty has suffered several defeats in front of the Jianlu army, do you think that Chahar, Tumut or other Monan Mongol tribes will be the opponents of the Jianyu army?

"If the Jianyu army makes a detour through southern Mongolia, breaks through the border from Xuanfu or Datong, and the soldiers come to the city of Juyongguan, can it be well defended and defended by virtue of the current appearance of Juyongguan? ! Can I, the Ming monarch, still be able to sit in the capital and talk loudly?! ”

After Emperor Chongzhen said this, the monarch and the ministers were relatively silent, and after a while, Sun Chengzong continued: "After the minister was appointed as the governor of Zhili, he led the governor Yamen Guanzuo to inspect Xuanfu and Jizhen, until the Great Wall along the Shanhai Pass, Juyong Pass is located in the mainland, and he did not take it into account at that time, and he never thought that the Juyong Pass would be slack off here. Speaking of which, this is indeed the negligence of the ministers, and the negligence of the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he said, "Sun Aiqing doesn't have to be like this. If it's your negligence, it's not so much my negligence. Hugh will say this again. The top priority is to talk about how to start the rectification. ”
