Beijing,This is the place where the essence of the country gathers,The most prosperous place in the world,But today's capital looks extraordinarily chaotic,Whether it's a restaurant theater or a green house tea shop,Recently, it has been exceptionally deserted,In addition to the popular Hong mother and son,All entertainment activities have spontaneously stopped,Well。。。 If Hong's mother and son are considered entertainment.

Fortunately, although there are not enough defenders in the capital now, those ministers who are holding each other back have been killed in the Forbidden City coup a few days ago, so that for the first time in nearly a hundred years, the administrative efficiency of the Ming Dynasty is so fast, and the people of the whole city are united around the imperial court, and the imperial court is united around Chongzhen, which makes the situation not look too bad.

Xun Yu, the first assistant of the cabinet, got the greatest right since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in order to truly make the people of the capital work together, the six departments and all the yamen in the capital are all under his control, Chongzhen even gave him a full pile of blank holy decrees with the red of the master of ceremonies, and the orders must be followed on the spot, and if you dare to have half a word of shirk, you will cut off your head on the spot.

This power is far greater than that of Zhang Juzheng back then, of course, this is temporary.

And Xun Yu's ability was also quickly demonstrated, first of all, the strong wall Qingye, the people around the Jingshi all moved into the city defense very smoothly before the Huang Taiji soldiers came to the city, and it was surprisingly smooth.

What made Qin Hao even more amazing was that it only took three days for Xun Yu to arrange the entire Beijing Division in an orderly manner, and none of the more than one million people were idle, and the ordinary people were all arranged to do things in the end.

The government and the court set an example first, whether it was an official or an official, they all took the servants to the wall, and sent people to go door to door to invite the rich merchants in the capital to take care of the home, and it magically took only one and a half days to organize a rabble of 30,000 people.

The rabble of 30,000 people temporarily organized is not familiar with the formation, and they don't know the words of the command, if they fight in the field, they are no different from 30,000 sheep for the Eight Banner Army, but if they defend the city, I am afraid that the difference with the elite soldiers will be too big, anyway, the walls of this Yanjing City are high and thick, they just listen to the order and let them throw whatever they want.

In addition to the workshops of the Ministry of Industry, all the places where the people may transform the city blacksmith shop have all been requisitioned, and more than 20,000 strong laborers who have volunteered to sign up have been found to strike iron, except for the iron pot at home, as long as the things made of iron have been collected uniformly, some small things similar to nails are directly stuffed into the barrel of the cannon as scattered shells, and the larger ones simply melt the cast cannons.

The rest of the young and middle-aged people were all organized, digging stones for digging stones, repairing city walls, and doing everything to make the fortifications of the capital more perfect and desperate.

Even the old and weak women and children are not idle, there must always be enough things to throw down the city to defend the city, even the old lady can wear a thick mask to collect everyone's excrement and make golden soup, and the woman in the dust can also mobilize various condolence performances to stimulate everyone's morale and military spirit.

All this was arranged in such a harmonious and orderly manner, Xun Yu actually single-handedly turned the entire Beijing Division into a huge military base in such a short period of time!

Of course, there is one more thing that Xun Yu did not touch, that is, the remaining 30,000 troops.

I don't know if it's because I'm too busy to manage it, or because I don't dare to manage it, in short, these 30,000 real troops have not been handed over to Xun Yu, and the one who commands them is now Sun Chuanting, the squire of the military department, which is basically an order to be in danger.

These 30,000 regular soldiers originally thought that they must be defending the city this time, but who would have thought that after a few days of hard work, this work was actually stopped by Xun Yu mobilizing the people, and now they are in a state of standby at any time, except for a few who stay in the city to command and fire artillery, most of the others are in a state of standby at any time, what is on standby? Of course, it's a field battle, and there are very few real city battles that can be defended without showing your head, and it is still necessary to go out and fight when necessary.

Anyway, when Huang Taiji and they spent nearly a week under heavy artillery fire and paid huge casualties to fill the moat, Xun Yu and Sun Chuanting gave him a hard slap in the face, and attacked for a whole day in one go, destroying more than 40 large ladders and killing thousands of him, but they didn't even touch what the city looked like.

Chongzhen personally stood on the head of the city to supervise the battle, although in fact it only played a role similar to that of a mascot, and did not play any role other than posing and shouting slogans, but he was still extremely excited all day long, and his voice that had changed his voice because of shouting for a day hoarsely grabbed Qin Hao's hand and said: "Hahaha Shangxian, have you seen it, we won, we won, Huang Taiji has not even touched the edge of the city wall for a day, as long as we keep it, the victory is ours, hahaha!" ”

Qin Hao patted his head very helplessly, how optimistic this kid is, he really couldn't hold back for a while, and poured cold water and said: "This... Even I, a layman, can see it, whether it is filling the moat or attacking the city today, Huang Taiji uses the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and the elite of the Eight Banners has not moved. ”

"Huh? Han Eight Banners, so let's say that today we are fighting for life and death are all Han people? Traitors? ”

"Hmmm... Almost, the main task is to consume our shells, by the way, tired us, in layman's terms, it is cannon fodder, but you don't have to be depressed, the full eight banners are grown up on horseback, let them attack the city with Luo hoop legs, it may not be really powerful. ”

"Damn! It's disgusting! Since it is the Han people, why should they help the abuse! Help this brute! These traitors are more hateful than the Manchurians! More hateful! ”

Xun Yu's cold water poured more thoroughly, "Today's battle is probably just a temptation of Huang Taiji according to the old minister, if the old minister is not wrong, the main general of the enemy Han Eight Banners must be Hong Chengchou, we all know this person's ability, I'm afraid it's time to dig tunnels now, we are all recruits here, even the people, through tonight's nervousness, the enemy army will definitely make noise under the city, so that we can't have a good rest, so that when they attack the city again tomorrow, they will get twice the result with half the effort." ”

The three words Hong Chengchou are now taboo, and Chongzhen exploded when he heard it, "Hong Chengchou!" He is really the number one thief in the world, and I trust him so much! ”

Qin Hao said, "Huang Taiji's full eight banners are his treasures, they will not fight such a battle as the siege of the city, and it is even more impossible for the Meng-ancients to help them fight hard, let most of the soldiers enter the city to rest tonight, there will be a vicious battle to fight tomorrow." ”

Xun Yu basically agreed with Qin Hao's opinion, until... Suddenly, a space-time gate appeared in the sky.
