Chapter Seventy-Three: A Wolf from the North
The most unpredictable thing in the world is something that hasn't happened yet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
No one could have imagined that in just two months, the Tatar iron cavalry that knocked on the pass would break through the Juyong Pass, and then garrison Miyun and ravage Tongzhou and other places. There were also a continuous army of Tatar cavalry coming from the steppe, carrying a large number of cattle and sheep, and it seemed that they were ready to fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty.
By the time Zhu Houzhao got the news, the city of Beijing had been surrounded by Tatar troops, and it was difficult for birds to cross.
The first disaster is already imminent, but whether there is still a Yu Qian in the capital, no one in the world dares to pack a ticket anymore.
Rushing to the aid of the capital, King Qin's escort flew to all parts of the country like snowflakes, and all of them were stern words requiring all localities to immediately send troops and horses north to Beijing.
Liu Jin, who is a minion, even gave Zhu Hou a note alone: "Your Majesty, now that the city of the capital is broken, the ministers hope that the emperor will never return to Beijing to be in danger, and the ministers will live and die with the capital even if they die!" ”
Zhu Hou's heart was distressed, although he had always had a bad opinion of Liu Jin for some reason, but at this moment he did know the loyalty of this slave.
"Lead the army north!"
There were only four simple words in the information Yang Shen got, but he still saw the full killing aura from these four words on the back of the paper.
Without saying a word, Yang Shen led all the private troops of the Mo family to wait on the road that Zhu Houzhao had to pass to the north. The distance of hundreds of miles was actually rushed by Zhu Houzhao in two days.
"Your Majesty, the military situation in the north is urgent and cannot be underestimated, but the south cannot be given up! If Mo Fenglei comes back at this time, with Mo Yanei's current foundation, he will not be able to compete with him at all, and when the north falls, and the south is in chaos, it will be difficult for you to have the emperor and your foothold! The first thing Yang Shen said after seeing Zhu Houzhao expressed his worries.
Zhu Houzhao suddenly woke up at this time, the timing of the Tatar invasion was simply too wrong, and before the affairs in the south were finished, they invaded on a large scale, which was simply pouring a sea of oil on the fire, and a slight difference could make the entire Ming Dynasty fall into a place of no return.
I think that Zhu Houzhao wanted to let the invasion of the strong enemy in the north create pressure on the Beijing officials, and took the opportunity to let them open the sea ban in the south in order to increase the tax revenue of the imperial court. But he didn't expect that the Spark of Tatar would have the potential to burn the prairie so quickly.
made Zhu Houzhao sigh that people are not as good as heaven.
There is nothing wrong with what Yang Shen said, if Jiang Nan can't keep it anymore and let Mo Fenglei, a person who also has a lot of ambitions, come back, then the whole world may really have to change his name and surname.
"Then let him never come back in the South China Sea!" Zhu Houzhao said coldly.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean ......?"
"That's right, let Shang Er do it, if he can't solve it, let Zhang Cheng or Pei Lanhong do it, no matter how many people are going to die, you can't let him go back to Daxueping!"
Zhu Houzhao was still a little uneasy after thinking about it, the previous decision had gone wrong, and at this time, there could be no mistakes, and there could be no mistakes: "Yang Shen, you stay in Huizhou, strictly supervise the Mo Ya, I will give you five hundred new troops, and Peng Hao and the monk in the same boat will also leave you behind, once the Mo Ya has a little bad intentions, get rid of him immediately, if the people in the entire Daxueping have any changes, then let the Daxueping become the real Daxueping!" ”
Yang Shen's body trembled slightly, he had followed Zhu Houzhao for many years, except for the time when Empress Yumingxiao was robbed, the coldness on his body could freeze a lake of water, only this time Sen Sen's killing intent was more terrifying than the last time.
The puppet was angry, the blood was splashed in three steps, the emperor was angry, and millions of corpses were ambushed. Zhu Houzhao is still a person who loves the country more than the beauty, but the real emperor is the beauty of the country, such as Liu Bang, such as Li Shimin, such as Zhu Yuanzhang!
Yang Shen took a deep breath and replied loudly: "The minister has orders!" ”
Jiangnan left Yang Shen behind, and Zhu Houzhao was okay but had no worries.
"But if Yang Shen also has a rebellious heart......" Zhu Houzhao suddenly had such a strange thought when he left the horse, and he was suddenly startled and hurriedly pressed it.
Whew, Zhu Houzhao let out a long breath, who should believe, who should be suspicious, who should not believe in any case, must form a standard in his heart, otherwise losing people's hearts will be equivalent to losing the world, headache, headache!
The military situation was urgent, and Zhu Houzhao hated more and more this era when communication was basically based on roaring and movement was basically on walking. If you had a satellite or a phone or something, you wouldn't be like ants on a hot pot like you are now.
After marching day and night for seven days, the 10,000 new army troops who had been personally trained by Zhu Houzhao were still neat, but the 4,000 Huizhou government troops and other green forest tyrants who had been recruited from Mo Shanlin's subordinates had already had a tendency to lose their armor.
I don't know when I can get thousands of miles away, and the soldiers in the south are generally not used to riding horses, so if you go on like this, it is estimated that the entire capital will be destroyed! Zhu Houzhao glanced at the nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers who followed behind him very melancholy.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
At this time, the situation in the capital was almost no different from that when he also entered the Koujing division first, after the fall of Juyong Pass, the entire Zhili Mansion was left with only a vast plain of Pingchuan, like a little lady who did not even have a fig leaf, and let the Tatar army led by the little prince ravage the bed at will.
However, the only thing to be thankful for is that the capital at this time is better than the embarrassing situation when it was difficult for a clever woman in Yu Qian's hands to cook without rice. The soldiers of the three major battalions of Gyeonggi that Zhu Houzhao trained on a whim had all been transferred to the city at this time, and the soldiers of the Shenji battalion under the leadership of Zhang Yi actually fought bravely to kill the enemy, which left a lot of corpses on the little prince's Tatar iron cavalry.
But that's all they can do. Although there are 3,000 battalions in the capital, which is not a good but not bad cavalry, it is simply a chicken rib existence, and it can't kill tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry outside on horseback, and it is not as good as the left-behind soldiers of the five military camps to defend the city, and it is useless except for wasting food.
Almost two-thirds of the 100 officials in the DPRK and China strongly demanded that the 3,000 battalions of men rush out. According to their thoughts, even if the 3,000 cavalry army was destined to be slaughtered by the Tatar iron cavalry, one or two of them would eventually escape by chance to reveal the situation in Jingzhong to the surrounding Qinwang army.
At the critical juncture, the lives of thousands of people are just sending a well-known message such as a military emergency, and the cruelty of the big man who lost his car at a critical moment to protect the commander can be seen.
But this proposal was quickly vetoed by Wang Shouren, who was not even a rookie in the officialdom, of course, with the help of Liu Jin's power, he barely suppressed the indignation of the majority of Beijing officials, and very strongly ascended to the position of Yu Qian back then.
However, tens of thousands of enemy troops are eyeing the outside of the city, and the situation in the capital is precarious, and it can be broken at any time!
