At the beginning of May, the Jiannu Right Route Army was led by the Red Banner Master Azig, led by the Red Flag and the Mongolian Left Battalion Bai Laihu, and the Eju Tong Nourishing Wuzhen Chaoha, with a total strength of 45,000 people, under the city of Zhuozhou, Dai Shan, the commander of the Jiannu Right Route Army, stayed in Changping and Yanqing with the Red Banner to prevent reinforcements from Xuanfu Town, and at the same time coerced the Ming Jingshi.

Lu Xiangsheng, a civil official, was born five big and three thick, and from the outside, he didn't look like a scholar at all, but like a butcher who killed pigs, he made a 45-pound big knife, and several people couldn't get close.

When Jiannu arrived at the city of Zhuozhou, Lu Xiangsheng never left his knife and his armor, and he was patrolling the city wall at any time. The city walls have long been prepared with countless rolling stones and sassal wood and other equipment to defend the city.

Azig, the twelfth son of Nurhachi, the brother of Dolgon, and his mother was the concubine Abahai, who once entered the Great Wall with Huang Taiji, occupied Zunhua and other important places in Hebei, and led a large army to Beijing City. Raided the Gyeonggi region and won 56 battles.

Historically, Azig can be described as heroic and outstanding in his achievements, and made great contributions to the pacification of the country in the early Qing Dynasty. When the regent Dolgon was seriously ill, Azig was imprisoned for his involvement in a plot to succeed to the regency. Azig's family and men were implicated and convicted, and many were executed, their homes ransacked, whipped, or dismissed, leading to a massive prison sentence. Azig was finally given death by Emperor Shunzhi. This is also caused by Azig's simple-mindedness, tyrannical personality, and arrogance towards others, so later generations commented that Prince Azig of England was "fierce and scheming".

In his eyes, using brave attacks to directly defeat the enemy in front of him is the royal way, and the rest are evil demons.

When Azig led his army to Zhuozhou, the prime minister set up camp. Then he sent troops to plunder around, but this time Azig was disappointed, all the Han people within two hundred miles of Zhuozhou ran out, and there was not a single grain of grain.

And Azig didn't carry much grain and grass on this expedition, does Jiannu still need to carry grain and grass when he enters Kou Daming? That's a joke, they came to the territory of Daming to rob.

Unable to do anything, Azig launched a fierce attack the next day. Azig fought bravely, and spared no effort to attack the city, anyway, it was the Mongols who died, and the Jiannu with the red flag was only responsible for pressing the formation, and as a result, a cruel and bloody offensive and defensive battle took place in Zhuozhou on the first day.

……

In the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City, Chongzhen is like an ant on a hot pot in the study, this bad news is overwhelming, Chongzhen receives a certain city every day and falls, and so-and-so is martyred again. So-and-so fled again, Chongzhen didn't kill anyone, and all the civil and military officials who lost the city and lost their land were beheaded, but it had no effect at all.

Chongzhen, who really had no choice, sent a cronie eunuch to Tongzhou every day to urge Yang Tingjian:

"Aiqing, are you ready? When can troops be sent to fight the thieves. ”

And Yang Tingjian's reply to Chongzhen is always only one sentence:

"The time has not yet come, your majesty is a little restless."

Whenever Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't wait to arrest Yang Tingjian's kid. Behead 10,000 times in a row. The current situation has eroded to the point that Cheng Dù is out of control, and Yang Tingjian's kid is still supporting the army and respecting himself. Could it be that this kid really wants to be a feudal town?

Today, Chongzhen sent a cronie eunuch to Tongzhou to inquire about it, but he has not returned yet, so Chongzhen is so restless and waiting for a return.

Now it's early May, Yang Tingjian said that he still has more than 10,000 sets of plate armor, and it stands to reason that it should have been built a long time ago, and the gunpowder lead bullets that Yang Tingjian needed. Chongzhen allocated it to Yang Tingjian without reservation, there were hundreds of tons of gunpowder alone, Yang Tingjian had not sent troops until now, but Chongzhen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Report ...... 陛xià...... Good news...... Yang Tingjian is here...... At this time, he was really waiting for the decree outside the palace. ”

"Quick Announcement ......"

"Xuan Yang Tingjian's Pilgrimage to ......"

When Yang Tingjian saw Chongzhen, Chongzhen was already sitting on the throne and pretending to watch the concerto. Yang Tingjian first gave Chongzhen a salute, and then reported:

"Weichen Yang Tingjian knocks to see His Majesty."

Chongzhen pretended not to hear it, still looking down at his own recital, Yang Tingjian had to raise his voice once and said:

"Weichen Yang Tingjian knocks to see His Majesty."

This time Yang Tingjian's voice was so loud that it almost deafened Chongzhen's ears, Yang Tingjian was not so easy to handle, Chongzhen was not angry, but continued to pretend to say:

"Oops! It's Aiqing here! What is the important thing about Aiqing? ”

Yang Tingjian also knew that Chongzhen was not satisfied with his delay in sending troops, in April, Jiannu's troops were relatively concentrated, and it was not a good opportunity for Yang Tingjian to send troops, and now Jiannu scattered his troops everywhere, this is a good time to send troops!

It's like a person who opens all five fingers, and Yang Tingjian plans to cut off a few of Jiannu's fingers at this time, so that he has no ability to poison the people of the Ming Dynasty. As for the annihilation of Jiannu, Yang Tingjian does not have this strength now, and Yang Tingjian's current strength is still a little far from this goal, but there is no problem in annihilating some scattered Jiannu.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is here to ask for troops."

Chongzhen waited for Yang Tingjian's words, but he waited hard, and now he finally waited, but Chongzhen was still calm as water, in fact, this qiē was pretended by Chongzhen, and his heart was so excited that his heart was surging.

"Oh! Is the time ripe for Aiqing? ”

"Of course, please borrow your map."

Chongzhen still pretended not to care, he stood up lazily and said:

"I'm tired of reviewing the chapters, so let's listen to Aiqing's opinions!"

Chongzhen took Yang Tingjian to the back of the throne screen, and on the satellite map that Yang Tingjian gave Chongzhen, there were small flags indicating Jiannu everywhere around Gyeonggi, and only two places were still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, namely Zhuozhou and Tianjin.

"Your Majesty, please look at the distribution of Jiannu's troops on the map, what clues can you see?"

Chongzhen was looking at this map in the air, the geography of the mountains and rivers was too clear, and he didn't know how such a map was drawn. Chongzhen has looked at the places captured by Jiannu on this map countless times, and he really didn't see a name for himself except that he hated those corrupt and incompetent civil and military officials in his heart.

"Aiqing, this Jiannu army of hundreds of thousands is overwhelming, just like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, the Ming Dynasty lost the city and lost the land, this Beijing division is about to be rounded by others, what else is there to see, the more I look at it, the more heartwarming I become."

All right! Chongzhen doesn't understand, but Yang Tingjian understands! At this time, he should also explain to Chongzhen the reason why he did not send troops before.

"Your Majesty, at the beginning of April, all the troops of Jiannu were concentrated in the north of the Beijing Division, and the hundreds of thousands of elite troops of Jiannu were not like a fist, and now the Jiannu forces have been completely separated, and the farthest has reached the city of Zhuozhou, which is more than 500 miles away from the Beijing Division, and Huang Taiji is in Yingzhou with two yellow flags, and the straight-line distance between these Jiannu is about more than 800 miles.
