In the eighth year of the Apocalypse, in the second year of Houjin Tiancong, Nurhachi's second son, and one of the four major Baylors of Houjin, Amin led more than 10,000 soldiers as the vanguard to come through Guanning and directly approached Shanhaiguan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Amin is a murderer by nature, especially good at slaughtering the city, because the Guanning Iron Cavalry Ancestor Dashou, who was stationed in Bajiao Town and is now the official position of Ningyuan's general army, fled without a fight, so that the back road of the trilateral camp was copied, and the general Wang Lan died in battle, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the trilateral battalion were slaughtered.

At the same time, the Tatar head Emperor Taiji also personally led the main force of the Eight Banners, and at the same time, the Mongolian cavalry of the two banners detoured through Guanning, raided into the pass towards Xifengkou, captured the Santun camp, and slaughtered the city to Jizhou.

Before that, the news brought by Jinyiwei from Houjin also arrived in the capital, and Zhu Youxiao immediately summoned Lu Xiangsheng, the left attendant of the military department, Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei, and a commander of the Praetorian Guard.

"Now the Tartars are divided into two ways, if Weichen is not bad, the situation is more difficult, although there are Wang Zaijin and Mangui in Shanhaiguan, etc., but it is difficult to ensure that there is no secret communication with the Tartars, which makes it difficult to stop the traitors from betraying the traitors, and on the side of Xifengkou, the Jizhou chief military officer Huang Degong's troops are weak, and he encounters the main force of Huang Taiji, and it may be difficult to win."

The building on the east side of the Xinuan Pavilion has been rebuilt into a sand table that can deduce the war situation, and at this time, Lu Xiangsheng, the left attendant of the military department, is holding a long stick and pointing to the Jiliao terrain and landform above.

"Now if the Tartar Amin Department really broke through the mountain customs because of the traitors, then the first one must be to Yongping first, in addition, Weichen has learned the news that the main force of Huang Taiji's Tartars is probably breaking through at several positions in Da'ankou and Xifengkou, and then going straight to Jizhou."

After Xu Xianchun said, Zhu Youxiao just nodded and said: "You have to make a plan for the success of the Tartars' entry into the customs, it will definitely not be possible to prevent it by defense alone, the Tartars want to surround my capital and let me obey, but it is also a good calculation, so that Mangui will return to defend Yongping, retreat to protect the Beijing Division, and enter the Shanhaiguan, Wang Zaijin still stays in Shanhaiguan to restrain the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and must not act rashly, in addition, Lu Xiangsheng, since you are the governor of Jiliao, now immediately rush to Jizhou, and Huang Degong to defend Shunyi, Changping, Zunhua and other places, be sure to block the Tartars in the north of Jizhou. ”

"Wechen obeys!" Lu Xiangsheng arched his hand, and the other commanders all looked at Zhu Youxiao with blank eyes, months of brainwashing have made them have a strong desire to fight the Tartars, they really want His Majesty to order them to follow Lu Xiangsheng to fight the Tartars now, and Zhu Youxiao did not come according to their wishes, just said: "Huang Degong, this person is quite disciplined in training, I have asked him to recruit 50,000 troops a year ago, after you arrive in Jizhou, you will use these 50,000 soldiers and horses to block the Tartars, I want you to block the Tartars for three months." ”

Zhu Youxiao didn't say much after giving the order, after handing over the defense of Jizhou to Lu Xiangsheng, he would not interfere anymore, as the commander at the highest level, what he had to do was to dispatch according to changes in the situation at any time, as for how to block the Tartar for three months, it was Lu Xiangsheng's business.

However, at this time, Chang Yanling couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, what about our Praetorian Guard?" ”

"Don't worry, keep training!"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, Chang Yanling and Qin Botong wanted to open their mouths but didn't know how to say it, but when they returned to the Praetorian Guard barracks, they became stricter than before in training their soldiers.

"Kill!"

During this time, he and his soldiers spent almost all of their time on horseback, either riding horses or dividing into two teams to fight each other, and even acting with the infantry battalion to charge the cavalry.

Everyone knows that the war is about to break out, since the Salhu, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are all talking about the color change, as soon as they hear that they are going to fight with it, they are afraid to avoid it, and now although the Praetorian Guard is also filled with a tense atmosphere, but there are also some expectations in their hearts, looking forward to fighting with the Tartars to prove the effect of their hard training these days.

"Tartar is also carrying a head on two shoulders, and blood will still come out when he goes down with a knife, if you want me to say, don't worry at all, if Your Majesty allows it, this official can take you to copy his Emperor Taiji's lair now!"

Qin Botong's bold remarks also caused the officers and men under him to applaud, because the commander of the first battalion was arrogant and confident, but the officers and men of these baggage battalions, that is, the so-called officers and men who had no special skills and could only engage in logistics in the baggage battalion, were more vigorous and confident than the soldiers of the main battle battalion.

And the first battalion of the infantry of Chang Yanling is a careful discussant of how far and how vigorously the Tartars can shoot arrows, and how many casualties will generally collapse.

Different commanders and different commanders, all the officers and men of the Praetorian Guard were preparing to fight the Tartars.

And Lu Xiangsheng has also rushed to Jizhou at this time, but at such a moment when the situation suddenly became tense, there is another major event in the capital that has also announced the result.

That is the palace examination, more than 500 people in the examination, except for the first class only Guan Shaoning and other three, the second class is more than 100 more than the previous year, and the third class is nearly 300 more.

Most of these jinshi were born in ordinary families or the traditional gentry class, and most of them were pragmatic rather than full of flowery articles, but they were full of male thieves and prostitutes.

Since many of the ministers of the DPRK and China have been eliminated or dismissed, with the addition of this group of new science and technology scholars, the shortage of middle- and lower-level officials in the DPRK and China has undoubtedly been filled, and it can be regarded as a successful metabolism.

And the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Royal Academy of Engineering have also assigned a group of new scholars, because entering these academies has the same task as the Hanlin Academy, so there is no Jinshi who feels that he has entered these two places but has been beaten into the cold palace, not to mention the case of making trouble before, and now no one dares to touch Zhu Youxiao's dragon beard.

"Your Majesty, news came from Liaodong, Zu Dashou fled without a fight, resulting in the loss of the trilateral camp, in addition, the Tartars really stole the old dragon head, and now they are forcing Yongping to come, Wang Zaijin urgently ordered Mangui and Zu Dashou to block the Tartars, who knew that Zu Dashou and the critical moment were suddenly defeated, so that Mangui had to retreat, and now Zu Dashou took the initiative to run towards Yongping, and in vain Gu Wang in Jin issued an order not to go out at will! also said that he was coming to the capital to protect His Majesty, and his heart was already clear. ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but look pale after hearing Xu Xianchun's report, and asked, "I remember that Zu Dashou had a nephew who was also in the capital at that time, right?" ”

"Yes, he had a close relationship with Fu Guan, and he was lucky not to be in Taimiao that day, so he escaped."

"Spread the decree to Dongchang, arrest immediately, this person will be useful in the future", Zhu Youxiao said and stood up and said: "It is rare that his ancestor is loyal, pass the decree to him, add him the crown prince Taibao, give him the title Ning Yuanbo, and immediately enter the king of Jingqin." ”

"Your Majesty, Zu Dashou and other Guanning Iron Cavalry obviously have a disobedient heart, why do you want to recruit him into Beijing?" Xu Xianchun asked puzzled.

Zhu Youxiao glared at Xu Xianchun, Xu Xianchun hurriedly knelt down and confessed, he was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, only responsible for intelligence gathering and transmitting orders and the interrogation of foreign enemy repeat offenders, and had no right to interrogate military arrangements.
