readx; After three days of testing, Huang Taiji still marched westward in the end, and finally occupied Tongzhou, an important town in Jingdong, without blood. Although the cabinet minister Sun Chengzong personally presided over www.biquge.info the retreat, Tongzhou City was already empty, but it was impossible to transport all the materials away. As the end point of the Grand Canal, Tongzhou has always been the distribution place of Jiangnan rice in the north, but after the Jin army ate a fat man, he seized 500,000 stone of grain from the city! You must know that there are only a few hundred thousand people in the 'Nu' Zhen clan in Jianzhou, and these grains are almost enough for Houjin to eat for half a year.

When the news reached Jingshi, the Manchu officials were again "filled with righteous indignation" and accused Zhu Youzhen and Sun Chengzong of not giving up Tongzhou, and even if they did, they would transport away or destroy the grain. It's good now, all the enemies, Sun Chengzong can't escape the blame!

Under the bombardment of thousands of cannons, Sun Chengzong had no choice but to resign. In fact, he really had a hard time, because when Zhu Youzhen ordered him to preside over the retreat, the special 'gate' issued a secret decree to him, strictly ordering him not to transport the grain from Tongzhou. Now that Zhu Youzhen is silent, Sun Chengzong has no choice but to take on this responsibility.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen would not dismiss Sun Chengzong, but just issued a decree saying that "it is good for the people to withdraw, money and food are things outside the body, and the merits of Shangshu are greater than their faults" and so on. Sun Chengzong was still dutifully stationed on the North Pole 'Gate' tower in Beicheng every day, but the fatigue of many days made him look older than before.

According to the scouts' report, the Houjin army originally planned to bypass the Beijing division and go to Baoding and Hejian to plunder, and if the Ming army dared to go out of the city to meet the battle, it would quickly assemble the four-way army to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army. However, due to the smooth progress in the early stage, especially the fact that Tongzhou was obtained without any effort, and the harvest was unprecedentedly large, the Houjin army seems to have changed its original strategic goal. They no longer bothered to loot those small county towns, but except for Amin's Eastern Route Army, which continued to keep an eye on Shanhaiguan, the remaining three route armies quickly moved closer to the Beijing Division. Looking at this posture, Huang Taiji is ready to attack the Jingshi once.

Of course, the officials in Beijing were frightened by this, and frequently asked the emperor to urgently transfer the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang from all over the country, especially the Shanhaiguan border army and the Xuanda border army to rush to Beijing to fight against the Houjin army.

Zhu Youzhen really agreed with the ministers this time. However, at this time, the Jingshi had already been under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission, and the transmission of the edict also relied on flying pigeons to pass on the book. And the flying pigeon biography is completely in the hands of the Ministry of War, specifically in the hands of the red lady, and the password she and Herzhe make up is changed from time to time, and outsiders don't know the specific content they convey.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen told the Red Lady early that he still had to strictly order the two border armies to stand by. When the ministers of the DPRK and China did not expect reinforcements to come, they asked anxiously, and only said that "the carrier pigeon may have been 'shot' by the Tartars", and pushed the ministers back with one sentence.

Two days later, Dai Shan and Yue Tuo's Western Route Army entered Changping. Tianshou Mountain in Changping County is in addition to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen and Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu, the tombs of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are located, and many ministers are like beating the blood of 'chickens', and strongly ask the emperor to send troops to guard Changping, so as not to shock the ancestral mausoleum.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen didn't take the mausoleum seriously at all, he couldn't take care of the living, how could he take care of the dead? When he first ascended the throne, there were also officials from the Ministry of Rites who asked the emperor to send someone to "survey the auspicious soil", to put it bluntly, he was to find a suitable cemetery for himself, and he would start construction after he found it.

As a result, Zhu Youzhen was "left behind" by Zhu Youzhen, and there has been no follow-up since then. In fact, Zhu Youzhen is quite polite, he really wants to scold the official of the Ministry of Rites: Looking for a grave as soon as he ascended the throne, isn't this a curse on himself? Also "auspicious", the emperors of all dynasties have buried themselves in the "auspicious soil", but how many "auspicious" ones are there in the end? It's not that the graves are stolen and dug up by latecomers, and the bones are desolate!

However, after all, the Ming Dynasty is "ruling the world with filial piety", and Zhu Youzhen, as a traverser, although he has no feelings for the emperors of previous dynasties, he still has to do a superficial article. So he sent an edict to Hao Yongzhong, the commander of the 3,000 battalions hidden in the mountains of western Beijing, and ordered him to move to Changping.

Of course, this is an edict on the surface, but in fact, his secret order is to ask Hao Yongzhong to preserve his strength, and he must not rush to 'engage' with the Houjin army. Hao Yongzhong, of course, did what he was ordered, and only sent a few dozen scouts to Changping for a walk, and ran away without a trace as soon as he met the Houjin army. The flying pigeon to the Beijing division said that "the 'fierce' battle with the Tartars was fierce, and more than half of them were lost, and they had to retreat to Wanping." Anyway, the minister of Beijing can't go out of the city, and only Zhu Youzhen knows whether he fights or not.

The Houjin West Route Army led by Dai Shan and Yue Tuo did not invade the Ming Tomb, but only passed through Changping and reached the northwest suburbs of Jingshi. It's not that they found out on their conscience, but that Huang Taiji has other plans.

A day later, Haoge's Southern Route Army also arrived at the village fifteen miles outside the Yongding 'Gate' in the southern city of Beijing. Immediately afterwards, Huang Taiji sent people from Tongzhou to the Jingshi Taiping 'gate' and 'shot' an arrow at the head of the city, with a letter on the arrow. The officers defending the city did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent the letter to the Temple of Heaven for the emperor and his ministers to see. If you don't look at it, you can see it, but when you look at it, you can all crooked your nose.

It turned out that in the early morning of this day, Emperor Taiji of the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty formally established himself as emperor in Tongzhou, changed the name of the country to "Daqing", and changed the name of the clan from "'Nu' Zhen" to "Manchuria", set the capital of Shenyang, and changed the yuan to "Chongde" from the beginning of the first month of next year. Nurhachi was posthumously honored as the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, Borzigit Zhezhe was named the queen, Bumu Butai was the concubine of Zhuang, and the nobles such as Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai, Zilharang, Haoge, Yuetuo, Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo were all crowned princes.

The content of this letter is to ask the Ming to recognize the Qing Dynasty. And his tone was extremely arrogant, saying: "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords in the country." In the Ming Dynasty, the national fortune will end. Heaven is mine, and I should obey it. I, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Shengde Renjun, do not 'want' to kill too much, and 'desire' to follow the story of the Jin and Song dynasties with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"The emperor of the Qing Dynasty is his uncle, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is his nephew, and he sends envoys to congratulate each other every year, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty must treat the envoys with nephew courtesy. The Ming Dynasty paid 3 million taels of silver, 500,000 horses of silk, 1 million stones of rice, 1,000 women, and married a princess to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The vassal states of the Ming Dynasty all paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty. If this is the case, the army will be exempted, the world will be peaceful, the people will be very happy, and the Ming Dynasty will be preserved. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at it and laughed angrily: "It's pure wishful thinking, my brain is in water!" ”

Cabinet minister Qian Longxi hurriedly played: "Huang Taiji is arrogant and incoherent, the crime cannot be punished, his book is so arrogant and contradictory" chaos, it is 'desire' to bargain with the court, Your Majesty must not give in half a point." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "Then you don't need to say." However, I feel that the thief chieftain is already a big rebellion to use the name 'Huang Taiji', and from now on, he should be renamed. ”

All the ministers thought so, and when they were thinking about what vicious and ugly name to give Huang Taiji, Zhu Youzhen clapped his hands and laughed: "It's better to call it 'The emperor is not anxious and the eunuch is anxious'!" ”
