Not to mention that scholars are good at cultivating their own heroic spirit, mainly because of their big hearts and small belly chicken intestines. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If the heart is big, it can retain qi, and the chicken intestine with a small belly will not leak.

Before the Tatar army outside the city retreated, this group of imperial historians, large and small, began to have a tendency to make trouble.

Two days ago, I was worried that the capital would break the defense and the heads would fall to the ground, but now there are only 8,000 reinforcements entering the capital, which has given this group of people confidence in their hearts and began to worry about a year's money.

Zhu Hou looked at it in his eyes and was annoyed in his heart, so he also questioned Liu Jian and other cabinet ministers.

But Liu Jian had nothing to do, except to be angry and indisputable, so he had to explain to the emperor the reason for their calculations.

The punishment of officials in the Ming Dynasty is generally divided into two situations, and the punishment of local officials generally adopts the means of demotion, because this group of people can earn as much money as an official, and it is also related to the face of whether they have to bow their heads when they see their former subordinates, so demotion is a more serious punishment for local officials, and this group of people does not lack silver, but only lacks social status.

But for most of the Beijing officials, it doesn't matter if they are demoted or not, anyway, the Qingshui Yamen can't get much money, and everyone lives on that little bit of death, and the money set by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang can only make them have a small surplus when there is no extra money. Therefore, punishing the officials is not much different from killing them. Especially after working for nothing for a year and having no salary to get, it is enough for them to scold in private.

After saying this, Liu Jianshi looked at Zhu Houzhao with a look of hope, hoping that the emperor would move a little compassion and exempt himself from these punishments.

However, Zhu Houzhao was indifferent, sneered and said: "Liu Qing, you go and talk to that group of babbling people, if you are not willing to punish Feng, then follow the chief soldier Zhu Shou to the city wall to defend the city." ”

"Your Majesty, they are all powerless scholars, aren't they going to die if they let them defend the city?"

Zhu Houzhao continued to sneer: "I reward them for their skill, ordinary sergeants will have a reward of five taels of silver for killing the enemy, as long as they dare to go up, I will reward him with fifty taels for killing the enemy, after all, he is highly educated!" ”

Liu Jian and the others could naturally hear the ridicule in Zhu Houzhao's words, and their hearts were also slightly sunk, knowing that the emperor was really angry this time.

No matter how absurd the above instructions are, Liu Jian still has to convey the basic ideas of the leaders. However, to his surprise, there were really three or five strong imperial historians who climbed the tower of Beijing City, and each of them did the work of defending the city with a steel knife.

Zhu Houzhao also went to the city.

An angry dragon, even if it's just a young dragon, is enough to destroy the world.

After Zhu Houzhao ridiculed him fiercely, he changed to the identity of the chief military officer of Zhu Shoujing's division and went to the city wall.

Of course, at this time, he will naturally not show his true colors. Instead, he wore a hideous iron armor mask.

This move, like the previous city wall in the imperial history, was talked about by the people of Beijing. Almost everyone was speculating that the newly appointed chief military officer of the Beijing Division was a man with a beautiful face but invincible in battle like the Great Song Di Hanchen.

There are even many dignitaries and nobles who have begun to ask their servants to inquire about the origin and background of this Zhu Shou, and plan to send the girl who has been raised by their own delicate family for more than ten years to Zhu Shou's bed.

Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised by the optimism of the people in Beijing, but he was still not sure about this war, according to the latest intelligence, the Ming army that was heavily assembled in the direction of Datong was not sure that I would win, and so far it had not advanced more than 100 miles in the direction of Beijing.

The little prince finally returned to the suburbs of Beijing again after being teased by Zhu Houzhao one after another, and on the way back, he swore that he would never leave the capital unless he was carried out of the battlefield!

After receiving the news that the Ming army had entered the capital, the little prince killed eight plundered female slaves one after another, and vowed to kill the treacherous and despicable villain, and dared to play with himself in a hurry, which was simply unforgivable.

So under this mentality, the little prince attacked the capital even more frantically. At this time, the south gate had long been riddled with holes, and the thick rammed earth bluestone city wall had been knocked out a lot by the Tatars, not to mention the dense feather arrows inserted on it.

Even the foundations of the city below had been dug out of a few terrible hollows that were nearly a foot long. These earthworks were all good deeds done by the little prince last night driven by the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty, and as for the dead stone sea under the city, it was already smelly, so it was winter at this time, and the weather was much better than the cold.

But even so, if it is not dealt with in time, I am afraid that a huge plague will be indispensable after the beginning of spring next year, and the millions of residents of Beijing will really suffer heavy losses at that time.

Zhu Houzhao frowned and looked at the piles of corpses that were almost on the top of the city, and asked, "Why, these people haven't thought about disposing of these corpses, won't they Tatars get the plague?" ”

Wang Shouren stood beside Lord Zhu Shou, the chief military officer, as his deputy at this time, and replied respectfully: "This is nothing more than the little prince's plan, he plans to make the corpse pave a horse track, so that his cavalry can enter the city without dismounting!" ”

"It's fucking ruthless!" Zhu Houzhao scolded when he saw such a tragic situation, pointed to the city and shouted: "One day, Lao Tzu will let you completely exterminate the clan!" ”

Then he turned around and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Collect all the fuel in the city and burn these corpses to Lao Tzu, otherwise there will not be a single living person in the whole city of Beijing in the spring of the next year!" ”

More than 100,000 corpses burned in the raging fire, and countless corpses burst apart or seriously because of flatulence, revealing all the faces of all beings in the flames, which was terrifying and indescribable.

Thick black smoke almost covered the area of dozens of miles above the capital, and the rich smell of corpses emitted a suffocating scorching stench under the scorching flames.

The continuous fire burned for ten days, and the southern wall of the capital could not be attacked at all for ten days, so the Tatars abandoned the southern city and began to attack the western city, but because there was no previous foundation, the Tatars, who were not good at attacking the city, suffered heavy losses.

So in the disgusting strong smell, the men and horses on both sides actually fell into a strange state of rare truce.

This made those bold imperial historians fall into a lot of benefits in vain.

Zhu Houzhao found that he might have made a mistake after setting the corpse on fire, and the bluestone city wall might be completely turned into lime under the fire, and it would be slightly doused with water, hehe.

Now I can only hope that God will give me some face and that those Tatar barbarians do not understand chemistry.

However, long-term peace was obviously impossible, and ten days later, a news that caused countless people to lose their minds reached Jingshi, completely making the capital an isolated city.

The Datong army was defeated, losing countless soldiers and horses in three consecutive defeats, but fortunately, the Tatar army also did not get much advantage.

However, at this point, it has almost become a fantasy for the Qinwang army in the direction of Datong to take a step forward.
