From Datong and Xuanfu to the capital, all the important military towns in the north of the Ming Dynasty are all closed to protect themselves without exception.

However, these important military towns are tantamount to lonely boats on the vast sea, and the towns, villages, and vast lands outside the fortified cities tremble under the ravages of the iron horses of Warat.

Emperor Jingtai issued an edict in succession, ordering the officials of various prefectures, prefectures and counties to organize the people to take refuge in the city, but the officials at all levels did not understand this way, and countless people were stranded outside the city, facing the beast-like Tartar thieves, they could only resign themselves to fate and seek more blessings for themselves.

What's more, the officers and troops in Shanxi and other places who were defeated by the Tartar thieves during the Tumubao Incident lost control, gathered the villagers, gathered the mountains and forests, and endangered the townships.

Pity some of the women who were captured by the Tartar thieves finally managed to escape at the right time, and returned to their homeland after a lot of hardships, but in a blink of an eye, they fell into the clutches of those soldiers and civilians who gathered together.

Around the capital division, many Tartar thieves who defected to the Ming Dynasty in the early years and were repeatedly treated by the Ming Dynasty did not change their nature, took the opportunity to make trouble, and plundered, which became the natural internal response of the Tartar thieves.

Just look at this situation, and you will know that even if Da Ming finally wins the victory in the defense of the capital, the price is very high!

The so-called prosperity of the Ming Dynasty was beaten back to its original form by the Warat people, the people of the dawn suffered deeply, for all this misery in the world, the emperor who was captured by the Tartars may be difficult to know, he took a luxury car, lived in Zhang Jinwei, enjoyed the courtesy of the first, and since entering the Ming realm, the officials from all over the country met according to the etiquette, and when the car arrived at the royal orchard of Lugou Bridge, the orchard official also respectfully offered him fruits, cow wine, and still regarded him as a king.

Knowing that the Tartar thieves were approaching the outskirts of the capital, Emperor Jingtai climbed the Desheng Gate Tower, looking at the first snow falling sporadically, and the emotion in his heart was even more melancholy.

"King Yue, I was able to lead the army to meet the Tartar thieves as I wished today, and it was not easy to come along the way!"

Zhu Qiming turned to face Emperor Jingtai, a snowflake hung on his eyelashes, and he didn't bother to brush it away with his hands.

"Your Majesty, after the defeat of the Tumu Fort, Sheji is in danger, and the Ming Dynasty is a little worse, or it will be a catastrophe! Fortunately, all this has passed, and now I am the emperor and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and the six armies are killed, and the Tartars will no longer have half a chance of winning! ”

If you want the former dynasty and the harem and the Manchu dynasty to reach a consensus to meet the Tartar thieves, this situation is not easy to come by, but all the constraints have really passed? Emperor Jingtai still had doubts in his heart, and he stayed there and meditated for a long time.

"King Yue, you have to go out for the sake of the society, and so is I, and you will know in the future that I am not a faint monarch who only cares about the throne. As long as this country is still the Zhu family, and the Ming Dynasty can prosper, even if I lose the throne, what is it! ”

This was very unlucky, and the Xing'an side on the side wanted to say a few auspicious words to get rid of bad luck, but saw a royal guard rushing down the steps. After the guard's incident, Yu Qian was also walking briskly upstairs.

"Report! His Majesty the Emperor, Yue Qian, who sent the envoy to Warat, was about to arrive in the area of Changyi Gate in the outer city with the envoy Naha. ”

Emperor Jingtai was slightly shocked, and Yu Qian, who followed, also had a dignified face.

If Yue Qian, who was detained by the Warat people, released the words "The emperor is here", and even claimed that "the orthodox emperor will return to Beijing first with the Warat Taishi", just imagine, who would dare to risk the heinous crime of being exterminated by the nine clans, only to be the emperor does not exist, and to make a big gamble that is destined to bear the stigma regardless of success or failure?

Once Yue Qian speaks, the military spirit may collapse in an instant!

Emperor Jingtai finally survived to this day, but suddenly found that his "eldest brother" had become the biggest trouble for the Ming Dynasty!

The howling wind swept over the towers, bringing a biting chill. But seeing Emperor Jingtai shrinking his shoulders, his fingers were trembling slightly.

"Yue Qian has died at the hands of the Warat people, and those who come must be impostors!"

Yu Qianhong's bell-like voice floated in, and Emperor Jingtai instantly calmed down.

Zhu Qiming turned his head to look and saw that Yu Qian was panting undecided, but his body was straight.

Emperor Jingtai gritted his teeth and said to Xing'an: "You go to Changyi Gate to guard first, and then follow Yu Qian and Shi Heng to sort out military affairs." ”

"Obey the order!"

Xing'an quickly stepped down from the tower, stepped on a tall horse, and galloped along the city wall first to the west and then to the south.

······

The outer city is located in the south direction of the capital, and the inner side of its north end is connected with the inner city of the capital, and the outer city can be directly connected through the three south gates of the inner city - Zhengyang Gate, Xuanwu Gate and Chongwu Gate. The outer city is where the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Mountains and Rivers are located.

Changyi Gate is the west gate of the outer city, also known as Guangning Gate, and later changed to Guang'an Gate in order to avoid the name of Xuanzong Minning in the Qing Dynasty during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. It is very close to Wanping City, it is the gateway for business travelers from other provinces to enter and exit the capital, there are two wide stone roads, one to the south gate of the south to the outer city - Yongding Gate, and one to the north to the south gate of the inner city - Zhengyang Gate.

According to Emperor Jingtai's edict, the outer city belonged to the defense area of Tang Jie, Liu Dexin, and Li Duan, who guarded Xuanwu Gate, Zhengyang Gate, and Chongwen Gate in the inner city, among which Changyi Gate was defended by Tang Jie, who was under the command of Dudu.

Facing the bitter cold wind, Tang Jie only brought dozens of followers to patrol back and forth inside and outside the city walls. Tang Jie is nearly forty years old, is the descendant of Tang He, the founding father of the early Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu in his later years did not want a group of meritorious servants to continue to take charge of the military power, as the letter of the prince of Tang and peeked out of the mind of Ming Taizu, in Hongwu 21 years to return to his hometown, descendants have not inherited his title.

"Commander, there are Tartars over there!" An officer who looked like a hundred households on the tower shouted.

Tang Jie quickly ran to the city tower, climbed the steps to the city tower, raised his eyes, and saw more than 300 Tartar thieves galloping on horseback, when one person wore a head and a coat, Tang Jie could vaguely distinguish the appearance of this person, he had seen this person, it should be the captive Naha out.

After being born in Naha, he followed a Han man dressed in brocade clothes, and he was a little kind.

"Look, that's Lord Yue Qian of Jinyiwei!" Seeing that the people were getting closer and closer, someone on the tower of the city exclaimed.

Yue Qian? For some reason, Yujie suddenly remembered a past incident from six years ago. At that time, he asked to inherit the title of Duke of Xinguo of his ancestor Tang He, but was rejected by the orthodox emperor, and the orthodox emperor gave the conclusion of the court discussion of the ministers of the court: the dukedom of Xinguo has not been inherited for decades, and he can only be removed. There is no more faith in the world.

More than 300 Tartar thieves outside the city were stationed on horses one after another, and Yue Qian and Naha stepped forward and stopped only more than ten zhang away from Changyi Gate.

Tang Jie was still politically minded, and when he saw Yue Qian open his mouth to speak, he immediately snatched the bow and arrow from a soldier beside him and quickly aimed it at Yue Qian.

"The Emperor's ······"

When Yue Qianfang said the word "Emperor", he saw a cold arrow whizzing, he couldn't dodge, and the arrow hit him in the chest.

"That person is not Yue Qian, but someone is pretending! The Tartars are about to attack the city, and you won't let go of the arrows yet! The soup festival said.

Suddenly, arrows poured down like locusts.

Naha was quite shrewd, and seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately turned his horse's head and galloped wildly, avoiding the rain of arrows.

The unlucky Yue Qian was shot into a hedgehog.

It was only at this time that Xing'an arrived on a flying horse, and behind him, he was followed by more than 10,000 people led by Governor Gaoli and Mao Fushou.

Seeing such a scene in front of him, Xing'an let out a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked at the soup festival on the city tower a few times.

"Kill!"

The thunderous shouts of killing suddenly rose, but seeing Gao Li and Mao Fushou taking the lead, they led the army to rush towards the Tartar thieves.
