The next morning, the capital city was under martial law because of the approach of Huang Taiji's Houjin army, and the reason for opening the city gate was naturally to let the soldiers and horses of Liaodong, Xuanfu and Datong brought by Yuan Chonghuan, Hou Shilu and Man Gui into the city for repairs - just like Xiao Mu told Lin Yi last night, although his decision was opposed by the ministers of the court and China, it was not met with very strong resistance from them, because their suspicion of Yuan Chonghuan and other generals was only speculation in their hearts, and there was no clear evidence.

And they obviously can't use their speculation as an argument, it is still a trivial matter to make people laugh, and most importantly, at the moment when the enemy is in the city and the war situation is at its most tense, it is undoubtedly extremely stupid to doubt the loyalty of the generals in front of the emperor without any basis -- to a certain extent, doing such a thing is tantamount to the kind of villain behavior that slanders and tells right and wrong, and it is not impossible for the emperor to directly cut off your head to show his trust in the generals in front for the sake of the overall situation of the war.

Therefore, although the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee did not approve of Xiao Mu's decision, they could not say a reason after careful study, since this was the case, then Xiao Mu naturally could not take their inner thoughts, but directly "made an arbitrary decision" and completely finalized the matter of Yuan Chonghuan and his army entering the city for repair.

Finally, at noon on this day, all the Ming officers and soldiers were able to enter the city and live in the camp in the city - because Lin Ye had already considered a series of situations in which some unruly soldiers went to the streets to cause trouble, rob property or eat overlord meals, or instigate camp roars and incite judgment, so although Xiao Mu forcibly allowed the army to enter the city for repairs, he naturally took strict precautions against these two issues.

As a result, the soldiers who entered the city for repairs were under very strict supervision and restraint, and could neither enter and leave the camp at will, nor could they hide in the corners and whisper, and basically could not do anything other than normal eating and resting -- but for a normal soldier, after many days of marching and fighting, the only thing he wanted to do at the moment should be to rest, and if any of the soldiers did not rest honestly, but were unusually active, it would naturally arouse the vigilance, suspicion, and close attention of the officers.

Because they were not able to successfully intercept Huang Taiji, the three border armies of the Ming Dynasty were concentrated in the capital to prepare for full defense, and then they had the opportunity to enter the city to repair - since this is the case, then their repair time will definitely not be very long, because Huang Taiji's Houjin army also quickly arrived under the city of Beijing, in fact, Yuan Chonghuan's army only rested for an afternoon, and then slept for another night, and after another day, they were going to rejoin the battle.

As Huang Taiji brought the Houjin army to the city, Xiao Mu's heart also rose. Because he has never experienced any war before, let alone a war that has not escaped from the era of cold weapons, and this war will directly determine whether the Ming Dynasty can survive, or the situation and fate in the next few years after its survival, and it is directly related to whether his position as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can be stabilized, and this kind of military event naturally cannot not make Xiao Mu feel nervous.

In addition to being nervous about Da Ming and his future fate, Xiao Mu's heart also mentioned another thing, that is, whether his previous "genius plan" could be implemented, that is, where did Huang Taiji choose to set up camp, and whether it happened to be the place where he had planted the gunpowder in advance.

However, Xiao Mu's question was quickly answered, after all, Huang Taiji's Houjin army was tens of thousands of people, and the camp he set up was naturally not small, and there was almost no need to deliberately spy - or as long as he was not blind, he could find out the specific location of their camp.

So Xiao Mu quickly knew the location where the Houjin army set up camp, and this was undoubtedly an answer that made him feel a little disappointed, that is, Huang Taiji did not camp at the location chosen by Xiao Mu and Wang before the Jin Dynasty, but chose a place farther away from the city wall of the capital - for example, if the Gyeonggi area is compared to an egg, in which the egg yolk is equivalent to the capital, and the egg white is equivalent to the area where Xiao Mu arranged explosives and digging frantically in advance, then Huang Taiji finally chose the location to camp, It is in the area of the eggshell accident.

Obviously, Huang Taiji had doubts in his heart after seeing that everything around the capital was dug up with holes, and even if there were a few traces that did not seem to have been dug up (that is, the place where gunpowder was buried and camouflaged), he still chose to stay away from this very suspicious area very cautiously - it can be said that basically as long as a normal person would probably make such a choice and decision.

Of course, the category of "normal people" here can undoubtedly exclude Xiao Mujiao, because if he could also be regarded as a "normal person", he would not have thought of such a "genius plan", nor would he have used tens of thousands of soldiers and refugees to implement it in such a costly and costly manner - even if in fact this plan did not cost him too much money.

So after learning that his "genius plan" didn't work in the end, and Huang Taiji didn't give himself a chance to send him directly through the shock wave of the gunpowder explosion to the sky, it was difficult for Xiao Mu not to feel a little lonely.

Fortunately, Lin Yi had already calculated that such a situation would happen, and he had already thought of words to comfort Xiao Mu - after all, Xiao Mu was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty at the moment, and the backbone of all the ministers, generals, soldiers and people in the city, if he was discouraged, it would undoubtedly not be good news for everyone in the entire capital.

"This kind of thing is unavoidable." This was Lin Yi's first sentence of relief to Xiao Mu, "And the capital is so big, the places around the capital are even bigger, and there are simply too many places for Huang Taiji to set up camp, so many places, how can they all bury gunpowder in advance?" ”

Xiao Mu heard Lin Ye's persuasion and relief, but he didn't speak, it was obvious that Lin Ye's simple sentence must not be completely effective, so Lin Ye had no choice but to continue, "Moreover, this plan of yours is not completely ineffective, in order to avoid those suspicious places, the place where Huang Taiji actually chose to camp in the end is already far away from the capital, so it will definitely be unfavorable for him to attack the city." Besides, you didn't pay much to implement this plan, so it's not a loss......
