Chapter 52: Houjin Dispatches Troops, Battle Under the City (XII

Last time, it was said that Huang Taiji pulled out the camp overnight, but in the early morning of the next day, he had already caught up with the main force led by Tu Nai. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the main force of the Houjin army of more than 80,000 people has bypassed the defense line of Tongzhou and Shunyi in the Ming Dynasty, and there are two other armies, one is the first Baturu of the Later Jin Dynasty, and the five thousand yellow banners led by Aobai, the commander of the Yellow Banner Guard, rushed to attack the Ming Army's defense line Changping, and the other way is led by Li Yongfang, who led 20,000 Han and Eight Banners to send troops to Shunyi.

But he said that he caught up with the army, and after a short rest, Huang Taiji recruited the former army commander Tu Nai.

"What is the situation at the front?"

"Back to the Great Khan, according to the internal report, now the Ming Empire's Jingshi garrison is about 200,000, and the servants heard that at this moment, the Ming Empire's Qinwang troops are coming one after another."

Speaking of which, the words of Tunai are filled with a frenzy.

However, when Huang Taiji heard this, his face was a little dignified, after all, the other party had an army of more than 200,000, and there were heavy troops stationed in Jizhou and Tongzhou, in Huang Taiji's opinion, it was a strange move to bypass the Ming army's defense line, but after all, it was a little dangerous.

As the commander of the whole army, he naturally has to see farther than Tunai.

"Tu Nai, the other party's 200,000 people, can you be sure?"

"Don't worry, the brothers have been thinking about the shame of the snow all the time since the first battle of Liaoshen, just waiting for the Khan's order! These southern barbarians will kill them without a place to bury! ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji smiled but patted Tu Nai's strong body like a black bear, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice.

"Let's go!"

Just when the Houjin sent troops to Beijing City, and at this time, in the Qianqing Palace, the capital of the Ming Emperor, Zhu Jian was pacing in the palace, as if worried.

However, it was said that Zhu Jian was still on the way back to Beijing when he received a report from Xizuo, saying that the Taiji army of the Later Jin Emperor had been drawn out, bypassing the defense line of Kaizhou and Shunyi, and approaching the Beijing Division.

Although Zhu Jian had a plan in his heart, when the news really came, Zhu Jian was still shocked in his heart, and the nearly 100,000 troops of Houjin pressed in, but it was impossible to say that there was no pressure.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to the capital, Zhu Jian hurriedly convened the ministers of the cabinet to discuss what the specific battle situation should be, and arrange the specific division of labor in the next step.

However, at the same time, there was one thing that made Zhu Jian's heart feel a little pimple, it turned out that from the news reported by the detailed work along the way, Zhu Jian was slightly aware of some abnormalities, that is, why the Houjin army could so accurately insert the Shunyi and Tongzhou defense lines, and it could not be detected by the Ming army! Although Tongzhou is now besieged by the army of Dolgon and Daishan, it is difficult to say that Shunyi does not have the slightest news!

Then the only explanation is that the Jingwu area is full of Houjin spies, secretly investigating the Ming army's defenses, so that it is possible to avoid the Ming army's outposts!

It was with this in mind that Zhu Jian suddenly realized that since he came to this world, he had ignored an extremely important issue, that is, to train a real intelligence and spy warfare system that could spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, even Mobei, Guanwai, and the Western Regions!

And although now the Ming Dynasty also has its own intelligence system - Jinyiwei, but Zhu Jian understands that this is far from enough, although Jinyiwei has made great achievements in the battlefield of Liaodong and even the Korean battlefield in the Wanli period, but after all, this Jinyiwei has existed for more than 200 years, and there are too many drawbacks.

It's just that if you want to form a spy team, you need a leader, who is not only capable, but also extremely loyal, but at this moment, it is even more difficult to find such a person.

I'm anxious to eat hot tofu!

Zhu Jian understands in his heart that it takes time to find talents!

And just when Zhu Jian was secretly thinking in his heart, the little eunuch came suddenly.

"Back to Your Majesty! The ministers are already waiting in the chamber. ”

The little eunuch's reply woke Zhu Jian up from his thoughts, and when he heard his words, it was the way.

"Tell the elders to wait, I'll go!"

said that in the meeting room at this time, Li Biao and others had already arrived for some hours.

"Elder Li Ge, Your Majesty summoned us at this time, but I don't know what to do?"

Qian Longxi frowned, but said.

Hearing this, Li Biao shook his head unconsciously and said.

"The cabinet has not received any report yet, and I want to come to His Majesty to convene it at this moment, I'm afraid that Houjin will force this matter!"

Now that Houjin is knocking on the pass, he is coming directly to Jingshi, and these ministers naturally know about it, but there is no news in the cabinet, and even Li Biao, the head of the cabinet department, can only speculate.

And just when the ministers of the cabinet were still a little confused, a hearty voice came from outside the door.

Everyone saw that this person was dressed in a vermilion court robe and a burly figure, who was not Yang Sichang.

"Elder pavilions, it's too late to be weak, I hope you don't want to blame!"

"How dare you, how dare you."

But the crowd gave up one after another.

"Wen Weak, I heard that you left the palace with Your Majesty not long ago, I don't know why Your Majesty summoned me at this time?"

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

However, as soon as Qian Longxi said this, there was a cough from Liu Hongxun beside him.

Hearing this cough suddenly, Qian Longxi suddenly woke up from a big dream, but he was a little surprised by Yang Sichang on the side.

Seeing this, Yang Sichang was also a little puzzled, and just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden burst of hearty laughter.

"Your Excellency is so elegant!"

Needless to say, this person is Zhu Jian.

Seeing the arrival of the emperor, everyone stepped forward to greet him.

Seeing this, Zhu Jian smiled and waved his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down.

"Just now I heard a discussion at the door, saying that it was about my private visit, but I was in this matter."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jian stopped speaking, but looked at the ministers with a smile.

Hearing what the emperor said, Qian Longxi's face changed suddenly at this moment, and the rest of the people were also a little embarrassed, it turned out that not long ago Tongzhou sent a report, and the cabinet was ready to send it to the palace to ask the emperor Zhu for approval, but at that time, Zhu Jianwei was outside, and everyone was a little anxious for a while, so they asked the little eunuch in the palace privately.

Of course, this is what Qian Longxi said before, but it is taboo to ask the emperor about his whereabouts privately, so several people have already agreed that they should not say it without authorization.

"Your Majesty, this is the fault of the old minister, the old man of the Qian Pavilion has been in the cabinet for a short time, but there are still some rules."

Although he did not participate in the affairs of a few people, Li Biao also knew afterwards, and now that the incident in the east window happened, he saw that the faces of several people were a little unsightly, but he stepped forward.

However, before Li Biao finished speaking, Qian Longxi hurriedly said in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, I don't blame Lord Shoufu for this matter, it's all Weichen and others who are making claims."

Seeing Qian Longxi's words, Liu Hongxun also stepped forward to ask for guilt, and although he didn't understand the cause and effect of this matter too much at this moment, Yang Sichang also showed eagerness, but he was prepared, once there was any change in the direction of the matter, he immediately stepped forward to plead.

On the other hand, looking at the other two people in the cabinet at this moment, Yang Jingchen stood aside but was silent, looking at it coldly, although Lai Zongdao was a little suspicious, but because of his age, he couldn't see too many expressions, but since he was appointed by Zhu Jian as the Minister of Shangshu, the Prime Minister of Northern Shaanxi Disaster Relief, he has been much more refined, and Zhu Jian naturally saw all this in his eyes.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that the ministers were arguing a little hard, Zhu Jian deliberately coughed, and when he heard the emperor's cough, the entire chamber immediately fell a lot quieter.

"As a cabinet assistant, you are an example of the DPRK and the Central Committee, where is this system!"

Zhu Jian's reprimand immediately made these ministers silent, although His Majesty has changed his temperament, but the ministers understand that no matter how the emperor changes, it is also the emperor, and the majesty of the emperor is impossible to change!

Seeing that the ministers were trembling slightly, Zhu Jian changed his words and said with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I asked about what happened to Zhiwen just now, I just want to express my apologies to all of you for not greeting you, but I think that I have caused so many troubles, and I am here to apologize to you."

In the face of the emperor's sudden reversal, Qian Longxi and others didn't know where to start for a while, and they were a little speechless.

is still an old minister of Zhu Biao's three dynasties, and he is not shocked when he encounters major events, but he stepped forward and arched his hand.

"Your Majesty said it, the ministers are ashamed!"

Hearing what Li Biao said, the rest of the people all stepped forward to echo.

Seeing this, Zhu Jian smiled and no longer paid attention to this matter, after all, there should be more important things in today's meeting.

"Your Majesty is saying that Huang Taiji has bypassed Tongzhou and is approaching the hinterland of my capital division!"

Hearing Zhu Jian's words, everyone was shocked.

"Hmm."

Zhu Jian said in a deep voice.

"Summoning you today is to make all preparations for the upcoming battle to defend the capital division!"

"I'll ask Your Majesty to make it clear!"

The ministers are all understanding people, and the emperor must not have summoned them at this time, it must not be as simple as wanting to hear their opinions.

"The situation is urgent, I don't do much to shirk, you must know that Jizhou, Tongzhou, and Jingshi are moving and related to the whole body, so the army of Jizhou and Tongzhou cannot support the defense of our Beijing division for the time being, but I think that there are still more than 200,000 Beijing battalions in the Beijing division, and there are 5,000 Xuanfu cavalry stationed in Shunyi, and Cao Bianjiao 10,000 Beijing battalions to guard Changping, and the Qinwang army from all over the country will arrive one after another after about five days, as long as my Beijing division holds on for five days, then we can encircle the enemy chieftains in the Jingwu area! I thought ...... Wen Qiao was the prime minister of the defense of the Beijing Division, responsible for the full responsibility of defending the city, and Qian Longxi, a university scholar, transported grain, grass and equipment for the army...... Li Biao, a university scholar, is responsible for appeasing the hundred officials......"

When all the arrangements stopped, the golden crow had fallen, and the rabbit rose, and when everyone dispersed, Zhu Jian seemed to remember something, but suddenly he called Cao Huachun.

"Gonggong Cao, let the little eunuch who leaked my traces go to guard the Tianfu Mausoleum!"

Hearing what Zhu Jian said, Cao Huachun responded to the desire to leave, but at this moment, Zhu Jian called him again.

"That's right, Gonggong Cao, help me choose one hundred and eighty young people with innocent backgrounds and good skills from Dongchang and Jinyiwei, I will be useful!"
