0434 Situation in the capital
In addition to Henan, Huguang has become the largest gap in Ningxia's power, including Xiangyang Wuchang and many other large cities are still in the hands of the old Ming forces, ordinary officials can surrender, but these imperial relatives in these cities cannot. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The world is still the world of the Zhu family, and they are all surnamed Zhu, if they want to surrender... That is, there are no people inside and outside, and they feel that they will at least wait for the thieves to break through the city gates.
And Zuo Liangyu is located on the border of Henan, just close to Huguang, after sensing that the situation is a little wrong, he decisively relied on his identity as an officer and soldier of the imperial court to enter the Huguang several cities, gave up the struggle in Henan, and Ningxia's anti-thieves to fight the general army of Zuo is not very confident, but for these officers and soldiers under the command of the rebellion, it is not a dozen and a quasi, and then with a wave of his hand, he wantonly recruited, and finally settled down.
Zuo Liangyu didn't know what to do in the future, but he was not optimistic that Chongzhen could make a comeback, otherwise he would not ignore Chongzhen's holy decree and find a foothold by himself, and also killed several princes.
Only most of Beizhili is left, what should I do? Zuo Liangyu has never been a loyal and patriotic person, he is very selfish, and maximizing his advantages and seeking the greatest benefits is also what he is best at, just like now.
In this way, what is left in Henan is Zhang Xianzhong and Hong Chengchou and his party, Hong Chengchou as the governor of the five provinces, he can instruct all the official forces in Henan, Zuo Liangyu's defection made him very angry, but he was inevitably a little envious in his heart, he was never optimistic that Daming could still be the first assistant to his homeland, but he was also obedient in preparing to retreat to the capital, compared to Zuo Liangyu, his loyalty to Chongzhen is undoubtedly much firmer, so he has the consciousness of living and dying with Daming, Of course, the specific big knife was on his neck, and I don't know if he could hold it.
He doesn't think about being promoted and making a fortune anymore, after all, he has become an official with his military exploits to this extent, and then he will be the head of the six departments, he is still very young, only forty years old, even if the Ming Dynasty can be restored... At least he can be crowned king.
Hong Chengchou has some expectations in his heart, dreams are always there, in case they come true, but it is funny to think that the first prince and the prince of the country in more than two hundred years are still Chongzhen to the anti-thief Ning Zhiyuan.
He felt that being a thief was a profession that was scolded by tens of millions of people, but if the thief reached the level of Ning Zhiyuan, he would also attract the envy of countless people while being scolded, and Hong Chengchou was still envious of his achievements while marching.
So there is only Zhang Xianzhong and a group of people left in Henan, compared with the dense forces of North Zhili, only Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Xianzhong in the rear seem particularly thin, especially Zhang Commander, Zhang Xianzhong at this time feels very fucked, his current situation is really embarrassing, watching his former combat partners run away and retreat, some of them handed over this Henan to him alone, it seems very helpless, you must know that he is a thief, a naked thief, is it really good to do this? But he can't also take refuge in the capital, right?
However, one good thing is that with the great increase in external pressure, the anti-thieves who were scattered in the past have been taken under Zhang Xianzhong's command, Zhang Xianzhong is not there, and the controversial Li Zicheng is also invisible, he is a well-deserved leader, what Cao Cao, Liu Guoneng and others do not have his prestige, in order to survive, Zuo Liangyu still has 200,000 men and horses under him, this is the most beautiful time since he unveiled the rod, but he feels unprecedentedly helpless, fortunately, he still has many godsons.

Yang Sichang is also worthy of being the most dazzling commander of the Ming Dynasty, according to Chongzhen's ideas, the territory of the imperial court is very small, just more than 30 cities, but these cities are horns of each other, plus the city walls are tall, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus Lu Xiangsheng drilled the soldiers day and night and rectified the discipline in the city, the capital did not see any chaos for a while, even if 20 million people were stuffed into this small city.
It is already obvious that the city can feel the dense crowded posture, Lu Xiangsheng is very worried, first of all, more than 20 million people can never afford this bit of land, but if it is only half a year for these officers and soldiers to train to go to the battlefield, it is still barely possible, after all, because of the tax and grain storage, the stock is still very sufficient, but if there is no self-sufficiency in a mechanism... It's still a place with more than 20 million people, and Lu Xiangsheng really can't think of any words to describe this situation, but as a courtier, he only needs to train his troops.
Alcohol has been banned in the city, in order to save enough food, Chongzhen drank a cup without a glass, his heart was very open, the matter came to an end, he had nothing to worry about, and now in this case, the capital is impregnable and no one can attack it, just wait for the army to train what is the result.
Even if it is death, he can accept it, at least he can live a stable life during this time, as for Zuo Liangyu's rebellion, he was just stunned for a while, and then he didn't say too much, one more Zuo Liangyu didn't make much difference to him, but he was sure that no one believed that Da Ming could restore his former rule, what could be worse than now?
and his recent successive holy decrees, which almost put a rebellious Ning Zhiyuan on the table, but except for the thunder that was louder and did not cause any obstacles to Ning Zhiyuan, he had no choice but to work hard.
Break and then stand, break the kettle and sink the boat.
Chongzhen was a little drunk, except for Beizhili, he no longer had to care about superfluous things, which made him, who had always been very busy, relax, and no longer had to hear the emergency report that he had fallen again somewhere, and Chongzhen comforted himself with a wry smile and said that there was nothing bad about it.
.........
Yi'an Palace, Zhang Yan was counting with her fingers at this time, even the last time she conceived a child in the carriage is now almost three months old, but there is still no sign of a bulge in her belly, what's going on?
She has never given birth to a child, but she was pregnant, but she was miscarred by Wei Zhongxian a few months ago, so she didn't know what it should be, Zhang Yan didn't think that Wang Chengen was lying to her, and she didn't think much about it, but as she knew what Chongzhen was doing now, she was a little anxious, she knew that the capital would not be breached in at least half a year, and what if she gave birth to a child?
Zhang Yan very much hopes that the capital will be broken by Ning Zhiyuan immediately, which is very contrary to her consistent thinking, she has gradually given birth to the will to die, she really wants to live, at least she wants to see what her child looks like, she has never had her own child in nearly thirty years of life, so that her motherhood is overflowing.
The palace is still as spacious and deserted as ever, far from the hustle and bustle of the streets outside the palace, many of them are crowded into one room, and some of them are directly asleep outside the house, all of which Zhang Yan knows, she suddenly hates all this.
The world is a plate, all beings are children, who dies and who lives?
.........
Ning Daguan has now opened three test points, and there are countless responders in order to be an official, it can be said that he has not even shown the knife The impact of Chongzhen's holy decree has disappeared, if you are not happy, you can not be an official You Yunye Crane No one pays attention to you, but if you are unhappy and scold, you will be solved by Ning Zhiyuan's subordinate Liang Dao.
If it weren't for the fact that time didn't allow Ning Zhiyuan, he wouldn't even recognize their fame and test it himself, so under the coercion and lure of the sweet jujube on the side and the big stick, the scholar completely died down.
During this period, the biggest thing in Jinling was that Qian Qianyi was killed, which is different from the ordinary young people who don't know each other, he is indeed quite prestigious, although he was temporarily dismissed because of cheating in the imperial examination, but he did a good job of poetry and was widely sung, and there were originally a large number of resigned old ministers who wanted to seek justice for him, but after Ning Zhiyuan copied their house, they all killed mercilessly, which was too luxurious.
During this time, he lived in the old courtyard every day, and he could imagine what his reputation would be, but with Dong Xiaowan and Wang Weiran, his life was quite comfortable, and he didn't care about what the outside said, his main purpose now was to establish a close connection between the state capitals, and everything was actually in the orderly construction, from Liangguang to thousands of miles here, he never came here to capture the capital.
The best offense is defense, whether it is Chongzhen in Beizhili, or Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Xianzhong in Huguang Henan, Ning Daguan has sent troops to surround them to the death, and the lonely city will definitely not last long, this is his idea, no need to spend many troops.
Especially in the capital, he knows very well that even if the artillery bombards in turn, it can't be opened, after all, his firearms are not yet a cross-era existence.
Every evening, Ning Zhiyuan would always sit in the lobby of the old courtyard, and he said that he thought that he was the essence and discipline of officials, and from a few people at the beginning to overcrowding later. Originally, because of Ning Zhiyuan's iron-blooded violence that night, he was frightened, and the scholar hurried to listen to the lecture.
Obviously, it doesn't matter if what Ning Daguan said is correct or not, but it is good to have a good relationship with the future boss and get acquainted, and as the atmosphere becomes more and more lively over the next few days, they also feel that Ning Zhiyuan is not a brutal person, and Ning Zhiyuan's purpose of doing this is almost achieved, even if he doesn't care, but it is always bad to be regarded as a murderer, after all, he killed so many of them... Old-timers, it's still pretty good to pretend to be the Holy Lord Mingjun.
.........
"What's wrong with you?" Dong Xiaowan's glutinous voice hummed and leaned towards Ning Zhiyuan naked, looking at Wang Weiran, who was shaking his chest, leaned over and looked at himself a few sizes younger, a little unconvinced, but helplessly couldn't do that kind of posture with her scale, looking at Ning Zhiyuan with a little frown, so he asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that do you prefer Jinling or Liangguang?" Ning Zhiyuan enjoyed the service of the two women very comfortably, but he just received a report that the officers and soldiers on the side of Beizhili actually built a city wall with cement on the flat ground, which made him very uncomfortable.
It is true that that little obstacle can be destroyed with just a few cannons, but the leakage of cement shows that it is someone who has been bought, even if cement is not a secret but it is also a military item, just like food, it is forbidden to circulate to the Ming Dynasty, the team is developing too fast, it should be thoroughly investigated.
Dong Xiaowan's soft chest was rubbing against Ning Zhiyuan's arm, listening to Ning Zhiyuan's words and said pitifully, "The farthest place Xiaowan has gone to is Jinling, and it used to be in Suzhou." ”
Ning Zhiyuan felt that Dong Xiaowan's Nizi was becoming more and more open by his own training, and his lower body was even harder on his head, which made Wang Weiran very dissatisfied, and he pressed on Ning Zhiyuan's chest on his stomach, with some negative airway, "Weiran is gone, his whole body is sore, husband, you should find a few more sisters..."
"Sister Wang, why do you say that..."Dong Xiaowan was a little anxious.
Wang Weiran glanced at Dong Xiaowan, "It's easy to say, you are willing to let the man out when you are the old lady, you are enough to finish every day, the old lady is tired, or you can try..."
Dong Xiaowan's face was flushed, so she buried her little face in Ning Zhiyuan's arms, and she was so aggrieved that she died. Wang Weiran frowned, felt that Ning Zhiyuan's lower body was a little bigger, glanced at Dong Xiaowan and didn't speak, but gently pinched the soft flesh on Ning Zhiyuan's waist, and scolded in his heart that he was really a beast.
Ning Zhiyuan laughed dryly a few times, a little helpless, he felt that he was quite wronged, and he couldn't get vent when he thought of Dong Xiaowan's mother-in-law, it was true, but it didn't mean that he had any ideas, just like a man would have some subconscious reactions when he saw a woman, he didn't lack women.
As soon as he turned over and pressed Dong Xiaowan under him, the sound of heavy breathing hit her face, and she roared in a low voice, "What should that husband do now!" ”
Dong Xiaowan was so frightened that she was about to cry, she was still in pain underneath, but she was kissed by Ning Zhiyuan and quieted down, Wang Weiran was lying on the side to recover her vitality, and said in her heart that it was normal for so many women to be like an animal.

For Chongzhen, he was bullied before, and it was not a fatal thing to rob some food, but now if you still rob him of food, it will be more serious than asking for his life, and food is more important than people.
The entire Beizhili is already beyond his means, but Huang Taiji still led the army to sneak in from the previous path, and Shanhaiguan couldn't prevent it, and Huang Taiji who did this did not have supplies for the purpose of fighting the autumn wind to nourish the war, but this time it was obvious that he would not be so easy, even if he brought 50,000 cavalry.
There is no doubt that the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty are here, Yang Sichang, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting are all talents worthy of a war, and now Beizhili is almost in a wartime state, so although Huang Taiji came suddenly, he only pounced and did not take advantage of it.
Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, finally played his role, and he decided to let Huang Taiji have no return this time.
