The 'Emperor L' thief went down the Jiujiang River. ”

The military situation is urgent, and recently the cabinet and the military affairs department have been mixed together, and the cabinet is in charge of military affairs, and the military affairs department also has to urge grain and grass, and mobilize people to build cities and water gates. [Search for the latest updates..]

It's April now, and it's supposed to be the time when farming is busy, and in previous years, there would be no more to do at this time, but this year there is no way.

"The joint intention is to mobilize the eastern soldiers, the Beijing camp, the Jiang, and the first line of Anqing and Taiping."

Chongzhen's voice became dark and hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Under the offensive of the Qing army for a while, he couldn't sleep for even two hours a day, and he would wake up in the middle of the night every day. It was only at this time that he completely understood why the prince said that the Qing Kingdom, that is, the Eastern Emperor, was the most terrible enemy.

Li Zicheng is just seizing the country of the Ming Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty is about to perish in the world of China!

Thinking that he was once the king of the dead country, and now he may be the king of the dead world, Chongzhen's psychology was very nervous and afraid.

At this time, he couldn't wait to die in Beijing earlier!

He became particularly anxious, irritable, and angry at every turn, and his original good mood and calm appearance were already gone.

In fact, he is not to blame, the situation is too tense.

The current route of the Qing army is the same as that of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jingxiang and Wuchang are all in the hands of the enemy, Jiujiang is also in the hands of the enemy, Huguang is a grain production area, and it is also the upper reaches of the upper river, down the river, how to defend Nanjing?

Is it really impossible to defend the lonely city anymore?

At this time, the northern half of the territory is in the enemy's hands, Shandong and Henan were originally victorious, but now the Qing army is strengthened, and it is also pressed and beaten.

At this time, even if he issued an order from King Qin, I am afraid that there would be no soldiers and horses to aid Amukyo.

The crown prince of Qingjiang has dozens of battalions of soldiers and horses, but the pressure on Henan and Shandong is also strong enough, and the new army has been formed for a short time, and no one is sure what the combat effectiveness will be.

And in Chongzhen's heart, as soon as the prince sent troops, Henan and Shandong won a big victory.

In the place where he personally adjusted, the Qing army immediately collapsed as soon as he came.

It's a little too ugly on this face. If the enemy from the upper reaches can be resisted, the prince's new army will be transferred to the west to march westward, and the main force will be sent to the north, so that a little face will finally be saved.

Otherwise, everything in this dynasty depends on the prince, and the name behind him is really not good.

Fortunately, although the Qing army was prosperous, it was only from all the way to Henan and Shandong, and there were princes and towns to withstand it for a while and a half, so there was no need to worry. The important thing is that there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Western Expeditionary Army of the Eastern Captives, and wherever this part is transferred, it is a formidable and strong enemy.

"According to the emperor's arrangement, there is no objection. Now the situation, in fact, is not so important, as long as the summer is held, the Manchurian soldiers are afraid of the heat, the city is difficult to attack, and its troops do not retreat, and then my Beijing battalion soldiers will train thirty battalions, and His Royal Highness the Prince's army can also pass 100,000 At that time, the offensive and defensive trend has reversed! ”

Ma Shiying is still very calm, in his opinion, no matter how strong the soldiers and horses are, as long as they come all the way, there is nothing to fear. Going down the river from Jiujiang, you have to pass the pass of Anqing, and if you can't beat Anqing, you want to hit Nanjing, which is a fool's dream.

Anqing is not only the center of the middle reaches, but also a densely populated grain-producing area, with a lot of treasury grain reserves, which is a much more important place than Jiujiang Wuchang.

The military forces in Fengyang in the past have all been moved to Anqing, and then according to the emperor's arrangement, the Xijiang soldiers and the Beijing battalion soldiers will be mobilized, plus the city garrison battalion and garrison battalion that were originally changed from the garrison of Nanzhili and Anqing itself, adding up to 50 battalions of more than 100,000 soldiers, plus about 200,000 auxiliaries and masters, 300,000 people dare not say that they will fight with 300,000 Qing troops, but they will garrison the key points along the river, and this can always be done.

Since you are prepared, you don't need to be too anxious, Ma Shiying has led troops for many years, and has been outside the territory for many years, this insight cannot be said to be wrong.

He thought so, he was the head of military affairs, and he was indeed a peer in military affairs, plus Lu Zhenfei and Wang Jiayan both nodded in agreement.

Seeing them like this, Chongzhen's face is much better-looking, and people who don't know much about soldiers such as Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi are also much better-looking.

Although Shi Kefa has been the leader of the feudal army for many years, he is not very bold in terms of courage, and he is even worse in military affairs.

Chongzhen was really dissatisfied with him in his heart, but this person still has a high prestige, and he is not afraid of hard work, and the cabinet is not mainly focused on military affairs, so he just forbears.

At this time, the winter people are all relaxed, but Ma Shiying saw at a glance that there was a guard outside the hall, and he was rushing to the palace, and the former minister Liu Wenbing was standing in front of the steps and waiting, so Emperor Zhang, there must be something big, he froze for a while, and he didn't care about listening to Chongzhen's next arrangement, just looked outside the hall.

When Nashi Wei got closer, Ma Shiying realized that it was the costume of the first-class Shi Wei, and it was his precious son.

Seeing Ma Luan talking to Liu Wenbing, and for a while, the former minister and young minister of the imperial palace turned miserable, Ma Shiying knew that something terrible must happen.

"Your Majesty", sure enough, after a while, Liu Wenbing hurriedly walked in, knelt down and reported: "There is an urgent report in Sizhou." ”

"What?" Chongzhen saw that something was wrong, but he still smiled according to his habitual thinking! "Huang Degong wants to ask him to guard Anqing again? Tell him that this will not work, and he and Liu Liangzuo will guard the Sizhou area for the union. ”

"It's just that Sizhou doesn't keep it." Liu Wenbingshen was very ugly, but continued: "The king of Yu in the east led the army suddenly from Shangqiu, and the elite troops rushed straight to Sizhou, and the 60,000 troops of Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo stepped down overnight. After defending for less than five days, Sizhou has now fallen into the hands of the enemy, Huang De's power department has withdrawn, and the army has been dispersed, so it is useless. ”

"What!" This time, Chongzhen no longer had the kind of leisure and composure that he was able to support, but stood up suddenly from the throne, and for a while, his face was as white as paper.

Sizhou is an important town in Henan, Li Chengdong, the chief soldier of Henan Town, is in Suizhou to refuse, Sizhou is handed over to Huang Degong as the main, Liu Liangzuo and Huang Fei and other general officers as auxiliaries, the main force is 60,000 rated battalions, as well as tens of thousands of garrison battalions and city garrison battalions, adding up to 100,000 people.

With such a strong force, even if you don't make progress, you can always defend it, right?

Moreover, in the past six months or so, a large number of construction projects have been carried out, and dozens of forts have been built in the area of Sizhou City, and Sizhou City is high and deep, no one thought that as soon as the East Captives arrived, they would lose this important military town in a few days.

"How can it be so fast?"

"The towns add up to almost 100,000, even if you catch 100,000 pigs, it will take a little trouble, right?"

"Huang Degong should be killed, Liu Liangzuo, Zhang Tianfu, and Huang Fei are all punished by national law!"

At this time, the ministers of the Cabinet and the Military Affairs Department did not care about the official authority and the country, and they all jumped to their feet and scolded bitterly. It's no wonder that they even Qian Qianyi understands that once Sizhou is lost, the Qing army can directly force Huai'an or Yangzhou, and if the prince leads the new army to fight with it, it is in line with the meaning of many fronts.

If they don't dare, then the Qing army in Henan and a small number of Qing troops going south will contain the Qingjiang River, and the army will go down to Yangzhou, cross the river and go down to Zhenjiang, and Nanjing will be at your fingertips.

And there is also a large number of Qing troops coming upstream, and the imperial court guards Duojiangyuan all the way, and the upstream can't take care of it, and the upstream can't take care of Duofeng's way.

Now the heavy troops are elsewhere, Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, and the area around Jiangsu is a blank area, and a few thousand Qing troops can occupy Jiangnan.

At this time, Nanjing's heavy land and financial land were all lost, and if this battle was lost, the Ming Dynasty lost more than half of the world.

"Haha, the Heavenly Death Alliance, the Heavenly Death Great Master?"

Things are so bad that even Nanjing may not be able to stay, and both the north and south capitals are lost, how can this emperor still be peaceful? Where to go next? Hangzhou? Or simply flee to Kunming?

Chongzhen's heart was very bitter, he didn't know what it was like, his heart was heavy, his eyes were also blood-red, looking around, he only felt meaningless, and there was no point in persevering.

"Scattered, dispersed, wait for the slaves to ride, you will descend if you want to fall, you will die if you want to die, Lian doesn't care, Lian himself will go to Taimiao now, no, Lian will go to Xiaoling, I want to apologize to Emperor Taizu Gao, Lian is not filial piety, and it is not a pity to die."

Chongzhen's mouth was full of words, and the ministers of the palace were also in a panic, and for a while, no one held the emperor or said anything.

For example, Ma Shiying's generation, originally his eyes were above the top, and at this time, the top was about to be destroyed, but he was also empty in his heart, and he was completely helpless.

Chongzhen looked like this, and the harem was also alarmed, but after a while, the two queens didn't care about taboos, and they also rushed over.

Seeing him like this, Empress Zhang and Empress Zhou wept, if there was no escape from Beijing, everyone would not feel terrible. But there was a time, the heart had already been cracked once, Chongzhen had this kind of over-the-top reaction, and it was also too traumatic, and once the pressure was too great, it would naturally collapse completely.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Or Ma Luan, at this time, it was not the dejected appearance just now, and he shouted wildly, he ran into the hall, and no one paid attention to this person's rudeness for a while, Chongzhen was still in a daze, but Ma Luan didn't care, only knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived at Shuixi Gate!" ”

"What? What you say is true? ”

Chongzhen was fashionable and didn't react, Shi Kefa was also in a daze, but Ma Shiying was the first to react. He was stunned for a moment, and then said in a condensed voice: "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince return to Nandu without an edict, this seems to be inferior to ......"

"Master Ma, when has this been, and you still say such things?"

The emperor and the minister of civil and military affairs did not say anything, but Wang Chengen was very angry, and while accusing, he looked at the military chief minister with cold eyes.

"It's good that my son is here, it's good that my son is here!"

Empress Zhou was frightened by Chongzhen in a daze, and she was also afraid of going into exile again, and the Nanjing Palace would be broken again, but when she heard that the military and political affairs outside were thriving, people's hearts were stable, and it was nothing to suffer some hardships for the time being.

I'm afraid that the state affairs are still the same as at the end of last year and the beginning of last year, and there is no hope. It's better to die, but the most difficult thing in life is to die, and the warning signal came, I heard that Chongzhen was crazy, and the princes and princesses cried together, that kind of sad scene, I don't want to see it for the second time in this life.
