"Good! Let's go to the state office. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Tang Zhenbei agreed.

Zhuozhou Prefecture Yali, Wupin Zhizhou Fan Jin is looking at the map in the second hall and worried, Fan Jin SD is fifty years old this year, with a wide nose and thick mouth, a slight hunchback, a short beard, small eyes, a square face and a round chin. Cautious, slow, shrewd. He was a jinshi in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and he was the governor of GZTJ County at the beginning of his term, and he was transferred to HNFH County at the end of his term of office, and later to HNTY County, and only the year before was he promoted to Zhuozhou, which is known as the southern gate of Gyeonggi.

"Alas, why am I so unlucky, I don't know if the Tartars will fight the idea of Zhuozhou, if the Tartars fall in love with Zhuozhou, it will be over." Fan Jin looked at the map and sighed.

He knew that with the three or four thousand defenders of Zhuozhou, he should not want to resist the attack of the Tartars no matter what.

Li Xian and Tang Zhenbei came to the Zhuozhou Prefecture Office, Li Xian said to the messenger guarding the door that there was an urgent matter to see Lord Zhizhou, and the messenger hurriedly went in to report: "Your Excellency, the garrison Li Xian has an urgent matter to see you." ”

Hearing that Li Xian was in a hurry to see him, Fan Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What is the matter with this Li Xian coming here, could it be that he heard the news that the Tartars are going to attack Zhuozhou?" ”

Some time ago, he heard that some Tartars came to Zhuozhou to burn and loot, but because of the Tartars' bad reputation, he did not dare to send officers and soldiers out to inspect.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite Master Li in." ”

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Zhizhou." Li Xian and Tang Zhenbei said, bowing down.

Fan Jin raised his hand and said with a smile: "The two generals don't have to be polite, whether Zhuozhou can be defended or not, but it depends on yours, what do you have to do with this official?" But the news about the Tartars? ”

"Exactly, and it is a major event related to the life and death of Zhuozhou." Li Xian said solemnly.

"Ahh With a bang, Fan Jin trembled all over, and said in a trembling voice: "Is it that a large group of Tartars was found outside Zhuozhou City?" ”

Glancing at him with disdain, Li Xian said: "It's not, it's a group of militias from outside the city, and they want to enter Zhuozhou City." ”

"It turned out that there were militia groups outside the city...... Speaking of this, Fan Jin breathed a sigh of relief, paused for a moment, and then asked again: "Where are these militia groups, and what are they doing in Zhuozhou?" How many people are there? ”

Li Xian replied: "This militia is called the Ji'an Volunteer Brigade, which came from JX Ji'an Mansion, and said that it was ordered by Lu Xiangsheng, the military minister of the five provinces, to come to Jingshi Qinwang, and there are more than 5,000 people......"

"Oh, I see." After speaking, Fan turned his breath and asked, "Then they are coming to Zhuozhou, are they passing by or here to support?" ”

He thought to himself: "If they are here to support, let them come, even if they are passing by, they must be pulled into the city, there are more than 5,000 strong people to defend the city, even a large number of Tartars come to attack Zhuozhou, and Zhuozhou can also hold on for a while longer." ”

Li Xian said: "I came to support Zhuozhou. ”

"Isn't that right? Let them in, do you still have to tell me about this, isn't it good to have 5,000 more men to defend the city? Fan Jin reprimanded with fire.

Li Xian and Tang Zhenbei glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment, and Li Xian said, "Tang Qianhu, say it." ”

"Okay. Lord Fan, you are right, it is indeed a good thing to have 5,000 more people to defend the city, but if these people enter Zhuozhou City, then the Tartar army will definitely chase Zhuozhou, and Zhuozhou will be in trouble. Tang Zhenbei said.

Hearing these words, Fan Jin was confused, and he asked puzzledly: "What do you mean by this, could it be that the Tartars are staring at this militia group?" How is this possible, they came here from JX Ji'an, thousands of miles away, how can the Tartars know about it? Besides, a small local militia is not worth using your brains. ”

With a wry smile, Tang Zhenbei said: "My lord, you don't know, this militia is unusual, this morning, they encountered dozens of Tartars on the road, one guy killed more than fifty Tartars, and the rest of the Tartars fled, the Tartars are extremely vindictive, you say, if these people enter Zhuozhou, the Tartars chase after them, Zhuozhou will be dangerous." ”

After saying these words, Tang Zhenbei and Li Xian looked at Fan Jin and waited for him to make a decision.

"How so? How so? Fan Jin said repeatedly.

Pacing back and forth in the room, he pondered as he went, "It's not good to let them in, it's not good not to let them in." This militia is really hard to choose. ”

After pacing back and forth in the house for a while, it was still difficult to make a decision.

Outside the city of Zhuozhou, Zhao Guohua led the volunteer brigade outside the city and waited for the city to open the city gate.

Looking at the closed city gate, Cheng Chong frowned and said, "Captain, this Chen Baihu has been in for a while, why hasn't the city opened the city gate to welcome us in?" ”

"Don't worry, so many of us go in, we want to eat and drink, it's not strange for people to discuss it, and there will be results after a while." Zhao Guohua said with a relaxed expression.

Looking at the tall city wall in front of him, he thought to himself: "I still need a dog-beating stick to call Hanako, and my more than 5,000 people must not fight hard with the tens of thousands of Tartar troops, no matter how strong the firepower is, in the end, both sides will lose." And it's different when you enter the city, you can rely on the strong and tall city walls of Zhuozhou to consume the vital strength of the Tartars, and after encountering heavy casualties, the Tartars just don't want to retreat. ”

In the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen walked around irritablely, and a white fat old eunuch in his fifties in the room looked at the emperor who kept walking around with good eyes.

Wang Chengen won the trust of Chongzhen, and when Li Zicheng invaded BJ, he hanged himself with Emperor Chongzhen in Coal Mountain (Jingshan).

Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, held an army of more than 100,000 but was timid and cowardly, and sat on a heavy army to let the Tartars crisscross Gyeonggi and slaughter the people, Zhu Youzhen was completely disappointed in Zhang Fengyi.

"Didn't you transfer Lu Xiangsheng to lead the troops into King Qin, why hasn't he come yet?" Zhu Youzhen asked with a gloomy face.

The country is in danger and thinks of good generals. In the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji broke through the pass for the first time and went south, and the soldiers came to BJ Daming reinforcements but cowered, and the emperor Zhu Youzhen, who had been on the throne for two years, felt aggrieved and cold for the first time in the face of foreign enemies. But Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion who was less than 30 years old, recruited more than 10,000 militia groups and traveled thousands of miles to the capital to come to King Qin.

In the face of the fierce Manchurian Eight Banners, Lu Xiangsheng was not only fearless, but enthusiastic, and actively asked for battle many times.

Since then, Chongzhen has remembered Lu Xiangsheng and remembered his blood and loyalty. And give promotion and reuse, Lu Xiangsheng also lived up to his expectations, showing a series of excellent records, and now he has full trust in Lu Xiangsheng.

Gao Yingxiang captured Fengyang last year and burned down the imperial tomb of his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, he hated it deeply and vowed to capture Gao, Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou surrounded the Liukou Gao Yingxiang in the northwest, in order to prevent the high thieves from running away, he could not transfer them into Beijing. After careful consideration, he transferred Lu Xiangsheng, who was encircling and suppressing the Liukou in Nanyang, to King Jingqin, but Lu Xiangsheng had not arrived yet, which made Zhu Youzhen a little annoyed.

"Your Majesty, maybe the HN war is in a stalemate, and it will be difficult for Lu Xiangsheng to get out......" Wang Chengen said carefully.

Zhu Youzhen said angrily: "No matter how tight HN is, does it matter if you have a Jingshi?" Jingshi was occupied by the Tartars, the union was over, the Ming Dynasty was over, could it be that he Lu Xiangsheng couldn't tell the severity? ……”

As soon as he said this, he saw a eunuch running over panting, holding a brocade box wrapped in red satin in his hand, came to the door, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, SX has won a great victory. ”

"SX Victory? Could it be ......" Zhu Youzhen thought of this, his heart beat violently, and he hurriedly said: "Big companion, bring it in and let me see it." ”

"Yes." Wang Chengen agreed, rushed out, took the brocade box from the eunuch's hand, turned around and entered the house, and handed it to Chongzhen with both hands.

Tearing off the envelope and opening the fold, Chongzhen hurriedly looked at it, read it twice in a row, and after reading it, he laughed...... Wang Chengen looked at Chongzhen laughing, and didn't dare to ask more.

"The thief Gao Yingxiang was captured alive by Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou in SX Heishuiyu." Chongzhen said with a smile on his face.

Hearing the news, Wang Chengen was stunned, and only reacted after a while, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "This is a sign of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, the slave congratulates Your Majesty, congratulates Your Majesty, the old slave wishes the Ming Dynasty eternal solidity, and the generations will last." ”

After laughing for a while, Chongzhen's face was flat, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The thief Gao Yingxiang broke through Fengyang and destroyed my Taizu Emperor's mausoleum to humiliate the Lian too much, and the Lian wanted to break his body into ten thousand pieces." Sent an order to Sun and Hong, escorted the thief Gao Yingxiang to the Beijing Division, and jointly sued the Taimiao, punished him in a canonical manner, and warned other gangster leaders. ”

Soon, dozens of brocade guards and a eunuch, along with the three soldiers who came to deliver the letter, quietly left the city and headed towards SX.

Besides, Bi Keta fled to GA County with the remaining six or seven vests, and when he reached the halfway point, he happened to meet Jia Lazhang Jing Duolong Ao with more than 1,300 soldiers coming to Zhuozhou. In front were more than 700 Han troops, and in the back were more than 600 cavalry. It turned out that Duke Yanguli took 20,000 horses all the way to the south of Jingshi, and after occupying Dingxing, Fangshan, Wen'an, Yongqing, Gu'an and other counties, he was resting in Gu'an for a short time.

Seeing his own army, Bikota reined in his horse, looked back at the remaining soldiers, and said, "Dismount, let's go and ask for sin." ”

Niu Lu Zhangjing Alhatu was also in this Qing army team, and when he saw his subordinate Bi Keta and others, he looked like a defeated army, so he rode out of the marching team and asked suspiciously: "Bi Keta, what's wrong with you?" What about the others? ”
