Chapter 717: Circle up for slaughter

After the hustle and bustle, there is calm, Datong City is like this, and so is the capital. [Full text reading]

Since the saint drove out of Beijing, and the champion Hou followed, the people in the capital have been a little turbulent. The Tartar invasion was a common thing for the Ming people, but this battle, because of the identities of the warring parties, as well as the previous stories, coupled with the scale of the war, became a little different, involving the general trend of the world, and affecting the hearts of the people of the world.

However, Xie Hong's arrangements before leaving were still quite effective, either willingly or unwillingly, but the various yamen were operating as before, and the efficiency was higher, and all kinds of materials were continuously sent to the Xuanfu in the past, and there was no more chaos at the beginning of Zhengde's departure.

The operation of the yamen was in good order, and the people's hearts gradually settled down. When the battle reports from the front came one after another, the capital was even calmer.

The people were satisfied with the fact that the Tartars saw the holy car and fled, the supremacy of imperial power, and the scholars did not believe in it, but in the hearts of ordinary people, they were convinced that the emperor represented the orthodoxy of China, and it was natural and proud to be able to scare away the Tartars with his might.

The officials' minds are much more complicated, the little prince is luring the enemy deeper, and the emperor does not hesitate to scheming, this incident makes them very relieved, alleviates the anxiety caused by Tianjin's delay in moving, and also makes Lu Wanshao suffer a few words of scolding.

It's just that the plan is in the plan, and the Zhengde plan is too decisive, but it also makes many people a little uneasy, if it is the decision made by Zhengde himself, things are also reasonable, and the young son of heaven is such a surname. However, since Xie Hong has already joined the emperor, the little prince's plan shouldn't be so smooth, right?

Doubts are doubts, the bets have been rolled out, the gambling game has begun, and everyone except those on the front line can only wait for the results. At this moment, there is no difference between a high-ranking minister and an ordinary person, and neither of them can influence the development of the situation, and this feeling of powerlessness makes the ministers very annoyed.

However, what is even more annoying is still to come, almost at the same time that Jiang Bin led his troops into Datong City, there were also two fast horses with a cold northwest wind, one after the other.

The previous one rode straight to the mansion of the squire Wang Qiong, and the one behind was a little behind, but he rushed all the way into the Beizhen Fusi, and then, the peace of the capital was completely broken.

"Master, this cold winter has just snowed, do you have to go out of the city now?"

"Less nonsense, hurry up and prepare the car, don't want anything soft, go to Yongdingmen, hurry, hurry up." Wang Qiong's face is whiter than the snow on the eaves, compared to the impending catastrophe, what is going out on a cold day?

The letter I just received was sent by the dynasty before Zhengde arrived in Huanzhou, and the family is unusual, although the dynasty is not familiar with military affairs, it is still very cautious in doing things. As soon as he got the Yingzhou battle report, he sent his henchmen to the capital to report the news.

In this way, not only can the father be prepared, leave a way back for the Wang family, but also inform the capital of the movements on the Datong side, so that the capital will know in order to cooperate.

But in Wang Qiong's eyes, this can only be a signal to escape. Under the threat of butcher's knives, the soldiers' plan to sabotage the supply of the guards completely failed, and the Tianjin raider that Lu Wan had promised before leaving was also slow to move.

Therefore, just when the gentry of Datong were looking forward to the action of the capital, why didn't the soldiers of the capital put all their hopes on Datong and the alien cavalry?

The little prince was defeated, and the scholars were also defeated, and the last hope of the Ming Dynasty was in Jiangnan.

Under Wang Qiong's desperate urging, he finally packed up and stopped, saying so, but in fact, except for the two cars carrying his wife and children, and a few henchmen, Lao Wangtou didn't bring anything, even if it seemed to those who didn't know, it was a posture of fleeing.

"Send the letter to Yang Ge Lao...... "Lao Wang finally has a little conscience, and when the carriage went out, he finally sent a family member to send a letter to Yang Tinghe, which can be regarded as a bit of friendship with the same people, so that they can die and understand.

From this point of view, Wang Qiong's insight is higher than that of Han Wen, he knows that at very moments, there can be no hesitation, let alone convening everyone to discuss, the more people there are, the lower the efficiency, whether you can negotiate a result, it is between the two sides, even if you can reach a consensus smoothly, I am afraid that the back hand of the plague god will also arrive, and then there will be only a dead end.

Therefore, when she got into the car, Wang Qiong did not relax, and urged all the way to the ditch, so that the carriage was rushed into the ditch, but the old man didn't even blink his eyes.

Originally, Mrs. Wang still complained a little, but she didn't dare to say it anymore when she saw this situation, her own lord was very urban, but he was definitely not the kind of person who was like walking on the ground when he was in danger and danger, and he didn't even care about his own safety, which can only show that the current situation is extremely urgent.

The car was very urgent, and after a while, the tall Yongding Gate was far away, and both Wang Qiong and the entourage were slightly relieved. For Wang Qiong, Yanjing City has become a tiger's den in Longtan, and the farther away from here, the safer it is.

He has even begun to think about the way out after Jiangnan, the current situation, if you think about it better, that is, King Ning's army is going smoothly, and when Zhengde returns to the capital, he has swept Jiangnan, and then commanded the world, and has the tendency to enter the Central Plains.

But after so many setbacks, Wang Qiong no longer dared to have that kind of illusion, there was a plague god, and that kind of good thing would definitely not fall on his own people, and he only hoped that when he arrived in Nanjing, King Ning would already be in the city.

Although Nanjing has many soldiers, the city walls there have never been used, and the battle of Jingyan was like this at that time, the city was full of wall grass, as long as the army came to the city, they would soon open the city gate and surrender.

If this is the case, at least until next year, there should be no danger, and whether or not the river can be drawn and ruled and the situation of the North and South Dynasties can be achieved depends on the subsequent development.

Wang Qiong abandoned the crowd and fled, but she didn't have the intention of letting Xie Hong kill and provoke chaos in the world. Don't look at being suppressed like a group of grandsons in the capital, but the hidden power of these people in the capital is very large, once they are slaughtered, those who are involved with them will be afraid of being implicated, so that they will take risks.

After all, Liaodong's navy is very strong and can threaten the coastal zone at any time, and the Guards can defeat the little prince on the frontal battlefield, and the strength cannot be ignored. Even if King Ning took Nanjing and swept Jiangnan, if he just relied on defense, he would not be able to defend it.

What if the Holy Driver returned quickly, and then immediately sent troops to rescue Nanjing? Do you want to go to Guangdong, and then go into exile...... Before Wang Qiong could think about this problem clearly, she was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves.

"Master, someone has caught up behind, it seems to be a ...... horseman" The voice of the attendant trembled, and even a stupid person could realize that something was wrong.

"Accelerate and rush ......" Wang Qiong only felt that all the blood poured into his brain, and he almost shouted out the most urgent desire in his heart, fortunately, he still had a trace of reason in his heart, knowing that it was impossible.

Now the person in charge of Yanjing City is no longer the Qianhu Zhou Yuan, after the news of the royal driver's personal expedition spread, Qian Ning soon received the news, and while he returned in person, he also brought back thousands of tiqi. This is also one of the main reasons why Wang Qiong was able to make a decision to flee.

The capital, or the northern provinces, is no longer possible. According to Zhengde's order before leaving, Tiqi should return as many times as possible, and while suppressing the situation in the capital, he may also divide his troops and go to Xuanfu to rescue with the forbidden army.

And Qian Ning had a large team of thousands of people around him, since he had already returned, it was impossible for only such a few people to come back, you know, there were 50,000 people who went out of Beijing. Where are the rest? Don't ask, you must stay in the place and prepare for the possible chaos of the bomb pressure.

The Ti cavalry had basically controlled the local armies in the northern provinces, and they had unified command among themselves, so even if there was a large-scale rebellion, it would be suppressed at the beginning, and there was absolutely no hope of success.

Therefore, Wang Qiong will flee immediately, he has completely lost confidence in the capital and the situation in the north. But who would have thought that with the speed with which he fled, he would fall short and be caught up at the city gate.

It is impossible to rush by force, the defenders of the city gate are already vigilant, it is difficult for this person around him to rush through, and it is useless to rush through, with these two carriages, can they outrun the light cavalry of Fanzi?

At the moment when he hesitated, the light horse had overtaken the carriage and went straight to the city gate, where it was clear that the other party had not come to hunt him down, but to block it.

But Wang Qiong didn't feel happy at all, he sat down in a daze, and commanded weakly: "Don't go anymore, go back......"

"Master, are you going home?" To Wang Qiong's ears, the coachman's question seemed to be ridiculing him, but he knew that this henchman was unintentional. In the past, when there was a big event, he would run to get together with those colleagues to discuss, but today......

"Wang Lai, you send the lady and the young master back to the house, and the old man is going to visit the old mansion of Yang Ge." Forget it, let's be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Wang Qiong sighed, not to mention that Yang Tinghe may not know that he plans to escape, even if he knows about it, it is estimated that no one is in the mood to make a fuss about it.

Yingzhou won a big victory, and then the plague god blocked the capital at the first time, what is he going to do, do you need to say? Isn't it just to encircle yourself first, and then wait for the emperor to come back and then dispose of it?

These people still have the name of a court official, but in fact they have become a group of pigs to be slaughtered, at this time, who would laugh at their companion who is struggling to escape from prison? Whoever has the opportunity will run. Now I can only hope that King Ning will give me some strength, otherwise, this Ming dynasty will be completely finished.
