Chapter 177: The Battle of Phi Dao IX

It was just dawn, but a slightly old figure was hurrying towards the palace, "Quick! Fast! Wei Zhongxian urged. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he was stopped by the guards of the palace, and the leader knew Wei Zhongxian, and went up with a smile and said, "Gonggong Zhu!" Why did you enter the palace so early? Now is not the time to open the palace gates! ”

Wei Zhongxian didn't talk nonsense, took out the gold medal specially given by Chongzhen and said: "Emergency!" Open the palace door! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! "Seeing the gold medal is like seeing the emperor, Chongzhen specially gave a piece to Wei Zhongxian and Wang Chengen, and only in case of emergency, you can use it directly to attack the face saint without passing it.

All the guards knelt respectfully on the ground, and the leading generals hurriedly ordered the palace gate to be opened, boom! Thundered! Thundered! The palace gate was slowly opened, and Wei Zhongxian did not wait for the palace gate to be fully opened before letting the carriage in, which is also a treatment that can only be found in special circumstances, which makes many officials envious.

Wei Zhongxian had no clue when he entered the palace, because he didn't know which concubine in the harem was sleeping tonight, so he suddenly hesitated, and after thinking for a while, he still went straight to the Qianqing Palace, and the guards on duty there still knew, sure enough, after arriving at the Qianqing Palace, Wei Zhongxian asked a soldier on duty: "Where is Gonggong Cao now?" ”

"Zhu Weigong! Your Majesty is sleeping at Concubine Xue's side tonight, and Gonggong Cao is on duty there! The soldier responded.

"Thankfully!" Wei Zhongxian took a piece of silver and gave it to him, and then went towards Concubine Xue's bedroom, and now Wei Zhongxian and Wang Chengen are the people who are in charge of Zhongxingwei on the surface, so they are all called Zhu Weigong and Wang Weigong by the people below, similar to the previous factory duke.

"Isn't this Gonggong Zhu? Why did you enter the palace so early today? Cao Huachun saw Wei Zhongxian who was hurrying from afar, and hurriedly went up to greet him with a smile.

"Grandpa Cao!" Wei Zhongxian also greeted with a smile, and then asked, "Your Majesty, can you get up?" ”

Cao Huachun shook his head and said: "Since the hour of the early dynasty was changed by His Majesty, His Majesty will get up after the hour!" Now it's just time, I'm afraid I have to wait for more than an hour, what's the matter, Gonggong Zhu has something important to tell? ”

Wei Zhongxian thought about it, when it came to the early dynasty, he thought that the five hundred miles of the military department would be sent urgently, so it didn't matter if he talked to Cao Huachun, so he pulled Cao Huachun and said softly: "There is an urgent military situation in Tianjin, the Tartars and the Japanese invaded Tianjin, but fortunately, the defenders found it in time and repelled the enemy army!" ”

Cao Huachun was shocked when he heard this, "They are so bold!" Then he said: "Fortunately, the enemy army was repulsed, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, but since Tianjin is no big problem now, then there is no need to disturb Your Majesty, right?" ”

Wei Zhongxian stroked his forehead and said: "This is an hour ago, the flying pigeon transmitted, and now the specific situation is unknown, I am worried that the enemy army will go and return, after all, the enemy has already entered the city, but was repelled later, if the enemy comes back again。。。。。。 Wei Zhongxian did not continue.

"What Zhu Weigong said is reasonable! Try to wake up Your Majesty, old slave! Cao Huachun said helplessly.

"There is Lao Cao's father-in-law!" Wei Zhongxian said with a smile.

Cao Huachun nodded lightly, then came to the door of the dormitory and knocked lightly: "Your Majesty!" Your Majesty! Although Cao Huachun had lowered his voice, it was still much louder in this silent palace, and after calling for a while, Luo Linxue gently opened the palace door with some sleepy eyes, Cao Huachun saw the door open, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Snow Concubine Niangniang!" Is Your Majesty still resting? Can you wake up? ”

"Your Majesty hasn't woken up yet? What happened to Gonggong Cao? Luo Linxue said softly.

"There is something important to report to Your Majesty! Otherwise, the old slave would not dare to disturb His Majesty's rest! Cao Huachun smiled bitterly.

"Father-in-law Cao, wait!" Luo Linxue said softly.

"There's Lao Niangniang!" Cao Huachun bowed.

Then Luo Linxue returned to the room, sat down lightly on the edge of the bed, and listened to the snoring Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile bitterly, but still gently shook Chongzhen, but after a quarter of an hour of hard work, there were results, Chongzhen turned over lazily, and then fell asleep again.

In the end, Luo Linxue was helpless and whispered in Chongzhen's ear: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wake up! Then he increased his strength and continued to shake, and finally the hard work paid off, Chongzhen opened his hazy eyes with difficulty, and naturally hugged Luo Linxue with one hand and asked, "Concubine!" It's not dawn yet, why is it called me! ”

Although Luo Linxue has waited for Chongzhen a few times, she is still as shy as a girl, and she can't help blushing when she is hugged like this, but she still says: "Gonggong Cao said that there is an urgent matter to report." ”

"Oh?!" He Xiaoming was stunned for a moment, and his head like paste suddenly sobered up, and he said in his heart: "Urgent? Could it be that the Tartar Dark War is no longer playing? it! Then he fixed his mind and said, "Let him come in!" ”

"The concubine is the order!" Luo Linxue answered and went out to call Cao Huachun, and after a while, Cao Huachun appeared with Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian's appearance really surprised Chongzhen, could it really be that the Tartars are making trouble in Liaodong again? !

"Old slave, see Your Majesty! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! Both of them knelt on the ground at the same time and saluted respectfully.

"Let's get flat!" Chongzhen raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Both of them got up at the same time.

"It seems that it's not Gonggong Cao who has something important to report, it's Gonggong Zhu, right?" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"The old slave is guilty of disturbing His Majesty's rest, but the situation is urgent, and it has to be so!" Wei Zhongxian smiled bitterly.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Chongzhen asked.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Tianjin, the Tartars united with the Japanese to attack Tianjin City by water, fortunately, the defenders found out in time to repel the enemy army and did not let the enemy succeed, now Tianjin City is seriously damaged, and the forts outside the city have been damaged, this is the specific battle report and the situation at the time, please also ask Your Majesty to see!" After speaking, Wei Zhongxian handed over a document.

Cao Huachun helped take it, handed it to Chongzhen, and said secretly: "!" Chongzhen frowned and took Wen Shu to look at it, and after a quarter of an hour, he put down Wen Shu and said: "This time, your Zhongxingwei intelligence has missed this point, so you should pay more attention to it in the future." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Zhongxian knelt down.

"I know about this matter, just in case, Cao Huachun, pass on my message, let Sun Ge Lao arrange it, and send the Beijing battalion to transfer 3,000 people to Tianjin to assist in defense!"

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun said, and then went out to run errands.

Then he looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Continue to keep an eye on their movements, as well as the dynamics on the North Korean side, and report back to me as soon as there is news!" ”

"The old slave obeys!" Wei Zhongxian said respectfully.

"That's right! Feng Yuanbiao and this Qiu Minyang in the Tianjin defensive battle, do you know their resumes? Tell me about it. He Xiaoming asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, this Feng Yuanbiao, the word Ertao, is from Cixi, Zhejiang. Father Feng Ruoyu, Shaoqing of Nanjing Taifu Temple, was raised in the first year of the Apocalypse. In the second year of the Apocalypse, the top three jinshi. In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, he served as the commander of Jieyang County, and his political achievements were outstanding. Later, he was promoted to the household department to the middle of the matter, successively Shili Branch right to the matter, Taichang Temple Shaoqing, and then transferred to Tianjin Governor, and this Qiu Min Yang, the word Changbai, Shaanxi Weinan people. During the Wanli period, the township test was lifted, and the county governor of Dong'an County, Shuntianfu was moved to the county with teaching. In the second year of Chongzhen, the new city of Baoding was complicated by merit. Promoted to the imperial history. He went out of Beijing to serve as the prefect of Hejian and moved to Tianjin as deputy envoy. Wei Zhongxian said.

"This Feng Yuanbiao is from Cixi, Zhejiang?" Chongzhen asked.

Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes! Your Majesty! ”

"Okay! I know! It is rare for a civil official to dare to carry a sword into battle to kill the enemy, this loyalty I am very gratifying, and it is a model for my Ming civil officials! He Xiaoming said with a smile.

"Your Majesty said yes!" Wei Zhongxian said with a smile.

"That's it! I see, go get busy! Chongzhen waved his hand.

"The old slave retires!" Wei Zhongxian buckled his head and respectfully withdrew.

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! "Long live the hundred officials and three shouts, respectfully worship, and after being automatically disturbed by Wei Zhongxian's sweet dream, Chongzhen did not sleep, but leaned on the bed and thought about it until he came to the court.

"Let's get flat!" Chongzhen said in a deep voice.

"Long live thanks!" Baiguan stood up.

"There's a play! Retreat from the dynasty without capital! Cao Huachun shouted.

Just finished shouting, Sun Chengzong conjured up and said: "The old minister has a play!" Your Majesty! The army department of 500 miles rushed to report, last night Tianjin City was attacked by the Japanese invaders, heavy losses, fortunately, under the efforts of Feng Yuanbiao, the governor of Tianjin, and Wang Zhidu, the commander of the envoy, bravely resisted, and finally repelled the enemy. ”

Although Cao Huachun had already come to send troops last night, Sun Chengzong knew that His Majesty the Emperor must have gotten the news earlier than him, and it was more clear and clear, but the emergency report of the military department still had to be reported truthfully.

Cao Huachun took the report and presented it to Chongzhen, who took it and glanced at it casually and then put down the report: "The attack on Tianjin was an accident to me, but fortunately, I repelled the enemy in time, and I am very pleased!" ”

"God bless me!" Some officials shouted.

Chongzhen shook his head, and then said: "In this operation, Feng Yuanbiao, the governor of Tianjin, led the army and the people to fight against the enemy, and made great contributions. ”

The ministers below were stunned for a moment, and the local officials were directly transferred to the capital? Wang Yongguang came out at this time and said: "Your Majesty, who is the governor of Tianjin?" ”

Before Chongzhen could speak, a minister from below came out and said, "Your Majesty! In case the enemy attacks again, is it inappropriate to transfer Feng Yuanbiao, who is familiar with Tianjin's defense, out of office at once? ”

Chongzhen saw that it was Qian Longxi, so he continued: "I haven't finished talking yet, why do Aiqing need to be in such a hurry? ”

Qian Longxi suddenly shut up, Chongzhen nodded and continued: "As Qian Aiqing said, now Tianjin City is very likely to be attacked by the enemy again at any time, so it must be a governor who can respond and command in time, Feng Aiqing was seriously injured, obviously there is no way to complete it, if Tianjin City is not prepared in time and causes the city to fall, then how should this result be You Aiqing must know better than me!" ”
