Jingshi, in the Forbidden City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the Qianqing Palace, facing a plaque of 'sea clarification', Zhu Jianjiu was an old god outside.

"Is it clear in the sea?"

I don't know when Zhu Jian actually muttered a little in his mouth, and then showed a wry smile.

It has been some time since the news came, when Hong Chengchou rushed back to Beijing, Zhu Jian was actually a little moved, all along, although Zhu Jian gave Hong Chengchou enough grace, but from beginning to end, those memories from the previous life have always been more or less troubled for Zhu Jian, so he has not let Hong Chengchou return to the barracks, but has been staying by his side to help deal with financial affairs.

"After a few days, maybe it's time for him to do his job."

Zhu Jian muttered a little in his mouth.

However, compared with Hong Chengchou's arrangement, what is now in front of Zhu Jian is the news brought by Hong Chengchou's return to Beijing on a starry night.

Houjin sent troops.

The 30,000-strong army of Dolgon, the Houjin striker, has already approached the city of Tongzhou - "I hope Sun Taibao is safe." ”

Zhu Jian knew more or less about the strength of Tongzhou, at most it was no more than 10,000, but the enemy was a full 30,000 troops.

Tongzhou City cannot be lost, and Zhu Jian knows the strategic importance of Tongzhou.

Because it is not only the gateway of the Jingshi, but also related to the development of the entire battle situation, because Zhu Jian understands that he has to wrap this 'dumpling', then this dumpling skin must not be damaged in the slightest.

Once Tongzhou City is breached, it is destined to cause incalculable losses.

"Your Majesty, are you sending troops to the rescue?"

This is Hong Chengchou's original words not long ago, when he heard this, Zhu Jian laughed at it, and persuaded Hong Chengchou to go back and rest early.

And now, when Zhu Jian was left alone in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Jian smiled bitterly.

Troops?

How many troops will there be to reinforce Tongzhou, the Beijing division is the main event, because Huang Taiji still has 70,000 troops not yet dispatched, Zhu Jian naturally understands the reason why Huang Taiji has not been able to dispatch the whole army for a long time, but it is to test the depth of his Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji has not yet dispatched the whole army, and Zhu Jian naturally cannot send the Jingshi army to Tongzhou to rescue, so the result can only outweigh the losses.

Now, the heavy troops on the nine sides of the north have mobilized the general troops of Yulin, Jizhou, Xuanfu, Sanguan, and Datong in Liaodong, in addition to Jizhou, Tongzhou, and Sanhe, most of them are now deployed near the Beijing Division, but they can't move, as for the defenders of Nanzhili, Zhu Jian has not been transferred, and the military strength of the three battalions is already vulnerable, Zhu Jian categorically will not transfer troops from the south to King Qin.

Although there are 70,000 Guanning iron cavalry in Jizhou Yuan Chonghuan, the Emperor Taiji's army in Zunhua City has not moved for a long time, Yuan Chonghuan naturally did not dare to act rashly and rashly sent troops to rescue, but Zhu Jian knew Yuan Chonghuan's difficulties, so he naturally no longer wanted to rescue Jizhou City.

As for the newly formed Dragon and Tiger New Army, it has only been a few days, although Zhu Jian said that he had heard about Lu Xiangsheng's training, but after all, the time is still shallow, and the most critical army is a strange soldier in Zhu Jian's hands.

Good steel, that has to be used on the blade - "I hope Sun Chengzong lives up to my expectations!" ”

For today's plan, Zhu Jian had to pray secretly, but not long ago, he sent more than a dozen red-clothed cannons to Sun Chengzong, but it slightly made him feel a little relieved.

"Back to Your Majesty! Tongzhou Sun Taibao urgent paperwork! ”

However, just when Zhu Jian was still apprehensive in his heart, Wang Chengen put a letter stamped with the imperial prime minister Sun Jian in front of Zhu Jian.

"Good, good!"

When he opened the letter, Zhu Jian's hands trembled a little, and he couldn't stop muttering.

"Your Majesty—"

Seeing Zhu Jian's appearance, Wang Chengen on the side couldn't help whispering.

"Great victory—great victory, Cheng'en, haha-"

At this moment, Zhu Jian was like a madman, after all, the news from the front line in Tongzhou was really happy.

"Your Majesty, this-"

The joy expressed between Zhu Jian's words made Wang Chengen a little confused, but his master was so happy, but Wang Chengen was also happy on the side.

But after a moment of joy, everything is finally quiet.

The annihilation of more than 4,000 enemies under the city of Tongzhou was said to be very happy, but everything after that had to make Zhu Jian calm down and think slowly.

"In this way, Huang Taiji is afraid that all my defense must be gathered on the front line of Jizhou and Tongzhou, so presumably Huang Taiji's army must be approaching Beijing City, so that——"

Zhu Jian thought about it, he concluded that the defense of the Beijing division must be coming, although Sun Chengzong presided over all the work matters, but the matter came suddenly, after Jin Xueye marched, Sun Chengzong was in Tongzhou City at the moment but could not get rid of himself, so the defense of Beijing City still lacked a person who was in charge.

Who should this man choose?

Zhu Jian also had doubts.

"Cheng'en, quickly convene the elders of the Qianqing Palace to discuss the matter-"

Zhu Jian didn't have any candidates in his heart for a while, but he wanted to ask the ministers of the cabinet and listen to their opinions.

Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour later, the first assistant Li Biao, the second assistant Liu Hongxun, and the minister on duty Qian Longxi were waiting outside the Qianqing Palace.

"Hurry in—"

"Your Majesty!"

said that Zhu Jian's face was kind, and everyone stepped forward to salute.

"You don't need to be like this, have you ever had breakfast?"

Seeing Zhu Jian ask like this, all the ministers looked at each other a little, it was the warm winter sun at the moment, I was afraid that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, not to mention any breakfast, I was afraid that the Chinese food was almost digested.

Seeing that everyone was different, Zhu Jian suddenly realized, but he smiled and said.

"Laughing, laughing—"

"Your Majesty has worked hard for the affairs of the state, but the ministers are ashamed."

"You're—"

For everyone to say this, Zhu Jian sighed for a while, but it made the ministers a little nervous, although the majesty in front of him is different from the past, but this is not ambiguous at all.

As far as everyone knows, not long ago, there were three or four times outside the noon gate, and they were all dignitaries during the Apocalypse, but one thing everyone knows is that the emperor today has a clear distinction between right and wrong, and will never kill Zhongliang indiscriminately.

"Your Majesty's face is worried, whether it is for the Houjin soldiers to come to Tongzhou City."

Li Biao is the way.

The cabinet deals with daily affairs and has the right to draft votes, but naturally the matter of Jin Bing's arrival in Tongzhou City is known, but there are some important secrets in recent days, but Zhu Jian directly bypassed the cabinet to take over, after all, this is a critical period, and there are undercurrents everywhere, Zhu Jian is not unable to trust these ministers of the cabinet, but there are many people, if something happens, it is not what Zhu Jian wants to see.

He didn't want all the deployments of these days, like the rolling Yangtze River flowing eastward - so Li Biao asked like this, but because he didn't know the content of the emperor's recent recitals so well, because some of them were top secrets.

"It is this matter, I think you also know about the Houjin soldiers coming to Tongzhou, Tongzhou is the gateway of my Beijing Division, here is an urgent document of Sun Taibao, I already know it, but you can take a look."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jian handed over the letter in his hand.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, this is the blessing of Your Majesty!"

The three of them borrowed books from each other, and the matter of Tongzhou's victory was already known, but everyone stepped forward to congratulate each other.

Hearing this, Zhu Jian did not show joy, but sighed.

Seeing the emperor's expression, everyone was a little puzzled.

What is the emperor today-but the three of them are not ordinary people after all, if not, they will not be able to sit in the position of this minister, you must know how many people are in this position, if they are incompetent, I am afraid that they will be torn off a long time ago, and they will not be able to do it now.

"Your Majesty is worried about the battle of the Jingshi?"

Qian Longxi opened his mouth.

"Hmm."

Hearing this, Zhu Jian nodded.

"Tongzhou victory, Huang Taiji must think that my whole army is deployed in the thistle, Tong area, I think Huang Taiji will bypass Tongzhou City and come directly to my Beijing Division, the battle of Beijing Division Defense is imminent, now Sun Taibao and Yuan Inspector are all supervising divisions, but I am lacking a competent candidate for the defense of Beijing, I don't know what your opinions are?"

Hearing what Zhu Jian said, everyone suddenly realized.

It turned out that he was beating around the bush, but His Majesty was looking for a capable commander to defend the city.

After a while, Li Biao and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached an opinion, but they said in unison.

"Your Majesty, Yang Sichang, the imperial history of the right capital, is famous for knowing the soldiers, and now he is returning from the Shanhaiguan Pass, I don't know what His Majesty thinks of this person?"
