"Report!"

In the evening, the spy report arrived: "After the rejection of the defeat of the whole army, Gong Shun Hou Wu Kezhong died in battle." ”

The defeat in the first battle and the defeat of Wu Kezhong, who was brave and good at fighting, shocked the monarch and ministers, and the orthodox emperor was no longer calm. Hundreds of officials recommended Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong and Yongshun Bo Xue Shou to lead 40,000 troops as the later refusal, and the emperor allowed to play.

Zhu Yong is the son of Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, and his father Zhu Neng is a well-known figure. Zhu Neng followed Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty to conquer the Nine Gates of Beiping, successively defeated Geng Bingwen and Li Jinglong, the leading leaders of Emperor Jianwen, and captured Ping'an and other famous generals of the Southern Army in Lingbi, making great achievements for Zhu Di to win the throne. He also followed Zhu Di's northern expedition and surrendered the Northern Yuan Taiwei Nell Buhua.

According to the legend, the tiger father has no dog, Zhu Yong should be as brave and good at fighting as his father, but in fact, Zhu Yong is a typical nerd army commander who grew up in the peaceful era, Zhao Kuo in the new era.

Zhu Yong has been a good reader since he was a child, and his behavior is no different from that of a scholar from a poor family, and he is deeply loved by scholars and doctors, and is quite praised by scholars.

However, Zhu Yong has read countless books, but his resourcefulness and courage are insufficient. Since ancient times, it is extremely unlikely that an army will be ambushed twice by the enemy in the same place, but such a strange thing still befell Zhu Yong. It was in Harrier Ridge again, and he also set up an ambush again, Zhu Yong did not learn the lesson of Wu Kezhong's defeat, and he ventured into the trap first, and the whole army was defeated.

From the moment of the first Koubian, the Ming army was defeated in successive battles, almost no parrying skills, the soldiers were brave, the generals were incompetent, the officials were incompetent, and even the advantages of supply and geographical advantages that should have been taken by the Ming army also fell into the hands of the Tartar thieves.

So, the next thing can be imagined, the Ming army became a frightened bird, desperately retreated in the direction of Juyong Pass, and finally fell into the siege of Tartar thieves in the place of Tumubao.

After the loss of the army, the strength of the Ming army has been greatly weakened, morale is weakened, and they can only form a formation on the high ground to protect themselves, but there is no water in digging wells on the high ground, and for a time, everyone is hungry and thirsty.

There is a water source fifteen miles away from here to the south, but unfortunately it has been occupied by the Warat people first, and if the Ming army wants to drink water, you must have the strength to recapture the water source!

All the variables seem to be under the control of Yexian, and it is more like a home game than a deep battle.

The Xuanfu and the Huailai guards were close at hand, but the Beijing army waited all night, and until the next day, no Ming army came to the rescue or intercepted the Tartar thieves, but the Tartars continued to gather towards the side of Tumubao. The soldiers of the Ming army, who were tormented by fear and hunger and thirst, had no longer the heart to fight, and many people took off their armor and sat on the ground blankly, hoping that the Wara people would die quickly with a knife.

Countless Tartar thieves galloped around the camp, and suddenly retreated, and the chief eunuch Wang Zhen impatiently issued an order to order the army to pull out the camp and get water.

When the soldiers heard this, they were confused, and ran to the water source desperately, and the Ming army's formation was in chaos. At this time, the Tartar thieves all over the mountains brandished their bright scimitars and killed from all directions, and the deafening sound of hooves drowned out the screams of the Ming soldiers.

······

The hundreds of thousands of Beijing troops of the Northern Expedition were all wiped out, the Son of Heaven was taken captive, and the accompanying high-ranking internal and external officials, honorable relatives, and governors were all killed in battle!

When the news came, the capital shook. People are still immersed in the dream of prosperity, but when they wake up, the capital is in danger.

Many wealthy businessmen are packing up their belongings and planning to move their families south, while countless Shengdou small people are so belongings that they can't afford to flee far away, so they can only gather in the market, waiting for the letter from the DPRK and China.

The capital is under martial law, and there are less than 100,000 tired horses in Hecheng, and people everywhere are panicking. In the early dynasty, hundreds of civil and military officials in Beijing gathered inside and outside the noon gate to weep bitterly.

The hundred officials began to discuss, and the king sat in the side hall, trembling all over.

During the court discussion, there was no shortage of people who advocated moving the capital to Nanjing. At this time, Yu Qian stood up.

"Those who talk about moving the capital can be killed! For today's plan, we should quickly summon the world's Qinwang soldiers to defend the Beijing Division! ”

Chen Xun, the second assistant of the cabinet, immediately echoed: "What Yu Shilang said is very true! ”

The young official stood up, "How can Da Ming repeat the mistake of Song Nandu?" What Yu Shilang said is very true, and we will second! ”

The voices of the DPRK and China advocating holding on to Beijing and confronting the Tatar thieves prevailed. In the side hall, Pang Zhe's eyes were like torches.

"His Royal Highness, the Son of Heaven fell into the hands of the captives, and the elite in Beijing was lost, and in the eyes of the world, the Ming Dynasty was about to die. However, it will be the old Ming who will die! If His Royal Highness dares to take responsibility, the Ming Dynasty will be reborn, and the reborn Ming will be completely different from the old Ming! ”

The king was still shaking.

"Your Highness, be ashamed and courageous! At present, the people's hearts are available, and there is no one in a big country! Quickly adjust the surrounding garrisons to enter Beijing, and break the old rules, select and recruit wise and brave people in Beijing, as long as they can gain a firm foothold and defeat the Warat people in one fell swoop, there is still a good chance of victory. The world knows that the Ming army has suffered heavy defeats one after another, and they will also ponder: Why is the Ming Dynasty like this? When His Royal Highness is in charge one day, he will be determined to get rid of the evils of the times, and then see who dares to get in the way! Your Highness, stand up, the future Ming belongs to Your Highness, and the future Ming will also be a real kingdom where the people are rich and the country is strong, and all nations are respected! ”

King Yu raised his eyes and looked out of the door, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but his tone was extremely firm: "Emperor Wen's mausoleum is here, the ancestral temple is here, and countless Li people are here, how can this king cross south!" ”

Pang Zhe breathed a long sigh of relief, "Your Highness, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, at this time, the previous dynasty and the harem must have a big shock, His Royal Highness calmed down, first took the momentum in Beijing, and then summoned the king of Yue back to Beijing, thinking that it was an auxiliary. ”

······

The harem has long been in chaos, a group of concubines gathered in Xianxi Palace to cry and cry, and the queen Qian became a small woman, falling to the ground and crying for the sky.

For the queen, the orthodox emperor is her heaven and her earth, without the orthodox emperor, no matter who succeeds to the throne, her status will plummet, and the knot is deep, so at this time, how can the queen take care of any system?

"What are you crying about? Shut up to the mourners! ”

Although the queen mother is full of voice, she has no certainty in her heart. The eunuchs also gathered in the Xianxi Palace, some advocated moving the capital to Nanjing, and some advocated sticking to Beijing, and the two sides could not hold each other.

However, the emperor has become a prisoner of others, how should the overall situation of the DPRK and China be stabilized? This really made it difficult for the Queen Mother.

Just when everyone was panicking, Concubine Qin stepped forward with a calm expression, "Queen Mother, King Yue is still in Liaodong." ”

King Yue? A glimmer of light flashed in the queen mother's eyes, "The emperor is also self-inflicted!" If it wasn't for the king of Yue, and the king of Yue accompanied him during the personal expedition, why would the situation be like this? Alas, the emperor ordered the king to supervise the country, and some things are only afraid that the mourning family will say and not count! ”

Concubine Zhou took Zhu Jianshen and stepped forward to salute, "Queen Mother, for today's plan, you should first stabilize the previous dynasty." ”

The queen mother's face turned pale, and she looked at the young Zhu Jianshen in a daze, and her eyes gradually revealed deep meaning.

"The emperor originally planned to appoint the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince, but the incident at the end of the war in the north happened suddenly, and the emperor had no time to take care of the matter of establishing the prince." The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth, "How can I be incompetent, the emperor is hunting in the north, and the capital should be the crown prince's prison country!" ”

"Emperor Beijiao" is a euphemism for the emperor's capture, if it is directly said that the emperor became a prisoner of the Warats, then the majesty and dignity of the Son of Heaven will be completely eliminated.

The Empress Dowager was maintaining the dignity of the orthodox emperor, but the Empress only thought about whether the Son of Heaven could return safely.
