Chapter 216: Soldiers Descend on the City
History is pieced together by these people of all kinds of different shapes, and it is they who let us know that there are so many opposites in the original human being, and it is these contradictory opposites that make our history so wonderful.
But generally speaking, loyal ministers must go out of the door of filial piety, the family education of bad people is different, but the family education of good people is always roughly the same, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and mouse sons will make holes, but there are always exceptions to everything, such as Hong Chengchou and his wife.
The Hong family is undoubtedly smart, and obediently knelt down in a crowded place, which made the people in the capital who hated them to the bone for a while but didn't know what to do, although the Ming Dynasty had a law to punish the nine clans or even the ten clans, but in the hearts of the people, they still advocate the set of wives and children, the boss of the Hong family has such a file, why shout and kill the rest of the people?
Kneeling like this for half an hour, none of the common people smashed them with stones, but they were full of sympathy, thinking that this was an unfortunate son of the family rather than a lack of education, and at noon Chongzhen also ordered them to be untied, and the Hong family, who was destined to live and couldn't raise their heads, became victims this time, and even the honors that Hong Chengchou earned for the family were not returned.
And in fact, the Hong family, at least the old lady did not live up to her fate, and soon the news came that the old lady of the Hong family, Fu Shi, went to the enemy camp in person, and fought in front of the soldiers of the three armies, and was determined to kill his son with his own hands to get rid of the thief for the country, Hong Chengchou did not dodge for a while and smashed his head on the head to break the blood, and he did not dare to fight back, so he could only bend over in front of the soldiers of the three armies in a circle, and finally the old lady Fu couldn't catch up, and died in front of the three armies with hatred, giving the world a very strong shot in the arm.
The common people like this story very much, do you see it, this is the fate of the traitor, Hong Mu's death is a hundred times and a thousand times more angry than being killed by Chongzhen, and I don't know what kind of state of mind Hong Chengchou is in now.
This story soon spread all over the streets and alleys, and there happened to touch the G-spot of the people in the city, whether it was a storytelling or a stage, the program of "Hong Mother and Son" must be full, and the applause was endless, and the copper coins rewarded were sprinkled on the stage one by one.
But the happy days of the big guys will soon come to an end, because, Huang Taiji has come, since ancient times, the siege of the city must first attack the heart, among the thousands of troops and horses, it is the former governor of the five provinces, the title of the military department, the prince Taifu Hong Chengchou!
Well... If it weren't for the thick gauze wrapped around the head, this appearance would really have some effect, now, hehe.
But in any case, the emptiness of the troops in Beijing is certain, but I don't know how long the more than 30,000 defenders in this city can last, and every common person has some hair in their hearts, and there is a little more worry on their faces.
But no one thought that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were a little worried, but only Chongzhen did not have any worries at all, on the contrary, there was a little more happiness on his face, and what made him laugh at this time was a letter from Gongsun Zhan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a letter from Gongsun Inspector, you can circulate it to each other" said, the letter was respectfully held by Cao Huachun and shown to the civil and military officials one by one, everyone was happy after reading it, I don't know what good news this is coming back.
It took a long time for this letter to reach Qin Hao's hand, and when he opened it, even he gasped, only to see that it was written: "Minister, Gongsun Chan bows, Saint Gong'an."
Since the minister sent troops to Liaodong, he has fought more than ten battles, all of which were victorious, taking 80,000 sheep, 10,000 horses, killing more than 20,000 kidnappers, and fighting with Dolgon the day before yesterday. Killed 16,000 enemies, now the enemy army retreats to Shenyang, our army surrounds it, and the minister guarantees the head of the item, attack! Gram! Then! Still! ”
"Good! Good! All right! It is really worthy of the white horse general Gongsun Zhan, the Manchurians are good at riding and shooting but not good at defending the city, Liaodong and Shen Yang are not far away, now since the siege of the city, you can transfer artillery from Liaodong to attack it, then Shen Yang will go down, he Emperor Taiji wants to build his Qing Dynasty, see what else he is doing without Shen Yang, see how he still orders the Mongolian and ancient tribes, obediently go back to the grassland to herd sheep and horses, hahahahaha! ”
Everyone thought about the same, and for a while, the gloomy clouds just now were swept away, and it seemed that the Huang Taiji under the soldiers in the city was already the dry bones in the dog mound of the lost family, and the light of the Ming Dynasty was just around the corner!
Of course, at this time, someone must stand up and pour cold water, and Yao Chong, the secretary of the ministry, resolutely stopped this annoying character: "The premise is that we can hold on to the offensive of Huang Taiji, if Gongsun Zan breaks Shen Yang, we will lose the capital, and then it will be his Huang Taiji to win." ”
Look, how annoying this old man is, who wouldn't know such a simple truth, it's not a succession of bad news too much, we guys are having a temporary joy, it's really blind.
But since this blind person has already thrown out the problem, this evasion is not a solution, in this case, let's talk, discuss and discuss, what should I do now?
"Xun Aiqing, you are an expert in the battle array, I don't know what good strategies you have to help me break the enemy?"
Xun Yu was Cao Cao's number one strategist during the Three Kingdoms period, and every time Cao Cao went on an expedition, he was sent to guard Xuchang or Yecheng, especially when Lu Bu took advantage of Cao Cao's expedition to ask Tao Qian to stab him, if it weren't for Xun Yu's command to firmly drag Lu Bu's footsteps, I'm afraid there would be no Cao Wei in history, and it was appropriate to ask him about this.
"Back to Your Majesty, the top priority now is to mobilize the people in the city, especially the families and servants of the ministers and ministers, to organize themselves to go up to the city wall to defend the city, the city has enough grain, grass and wood, fire oil and other things, the battle to defend the city, the gap between the recruits and the veterans is not obvious, as long as we are united, why fear him Huang Taiji? The minister implored His Majesty, personally go to the city to supervise the battle, in order to strengthen my morale and military heart, as long as the hearts of millions of people in the city think in one place, and strive to make one place, I will win this battle! ”
"Good~! Xun Aiqing is the first assistant of the cabinet, this matter of mobilizing the people, it is up to you to carry it out, I agree with you, Huang Taiji, as a big man, can go to the battlefield in person, don't I even have the courage to supervise the battle at the head of the city? The princes and ministers of the six ministries and nine kings should set an example, and all the prisoners in the prison of the criminal department were also released as death squads, and those who had made military merits were exempted. ”
"Your Majesty."
"Don't shoot on the back, Huang Taiji now has more than 100 new artillery, how to break it."
Xun Yu was silent, and only said after a long time: "Only field battles, shooting, there are still 30,000 soldiers and horses in the three battalions in the Beijing Division, and nearly 10,000 cavalry led by Wu Sangui. ”
"In Aiqing's opinion, who can take on this important task, turn the tide and help the building to fall?"
"Recommended by the minister, the squire of the military department, Sun Chuanting!"
