Chapter Seventy-Eight: Hauge's Death
Six hundred miles expedited!
Hearing this, many ministers felt inexplicably tightened, and seemed to have a premonition, this is probably not good news, and the hall quickly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were all on this eunuch. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The eunuch knelt on the ground, holding up the report with both hands, and seeing this, Wang Chengen walked forward, took the report, and gave it to Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen personally opened the newspaper and looked at it, and many ministers noticed that Chongzhen's face changed sharply, and his hands holding the newspaper were trembling slightly.
Many ministers sighed in their hearts, thinking in their hearts, sure enough, this must be terrible news, Chen Xinjia was worried, and guessed in his heart that it was a report about Governor Lu.
It was indeed about Lu Xiangsheng's Tang Newspaper, but the situation was much worse than everyone expected, and after seeing Chongzhen read the Tang Newspaper, he said gloomily: "Governor Lu has been martyred!" ”
Lu Xiangsheng is dead!
Suddenly, many ministers looked at each other, this was simply a bolt from the blue, just now everyone was still arguing about how to rescue Lu Xiangsheng, but they didn't think about it, the situation was so drastic, Lu Xiangsheng was martyred!
The entire hall was depressed and faintly sad in the quiet, and some ministers even wanted to cry.
Two days ago, Lu Xiangsheng led his troops into Jiazhuang in Julu. The eunuch Gao Qiqian commanded Guan Ning Tieqi to ride tens of thousands of horses in Jize, less than fifty miles away from Jiazhuang.
Lu Xiangsheng sent Yang Tinglin to ask for assistance, but Gao Qiqian ignored it. Lu Xiangsheng led his troops to Artemisia Bridge and was surrounded by the main force of the Qing army.
Lu Xiangsheng led his own soldiers in the center, Hu Dawei guarded the left wing, and Yang Guozhu guarded the right wing. As a result, the two general soldiers shamelessly abandoned Lu Xiangsheng to break the siege and fled, and Lu Xiangsheng led his own troops to die in battle. Gao Qiqian immediately collapsed without a fight.
After a long time, Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, came out of the queue and said miserably: "Long live, the dragon body is important, let's mourn." ”
Chongzhen said slowly: "Lu Aiqing is the pillar stone of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Aiqing's martyrdom is a huge loss for the Ming Dynasty, pass on my will, give Lu Aiqing the crown prince and young master, and give a funeral!" ”
A faint sadness pervaded, Chongzhen knew that Lu Xiangsheng's martyrdom was not only a huge loss for the Ming Dynasty, from now on, I am afraid that there will be no more famous generals, and this Manchu invasion is only afraid that no one can fight again.
Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, without saying a word, the ministers were either sad, or just standing, time passed little by little, Chongzhen seemed to have forgotten to retreat from the dynasty, Wang Chengen wanted to remind him several times.
"Report !!"
Another little eunuch, holding a pond newspaper in both hands, shouted loudly, breaking the dullness and silence of the hall, the little eunuch hurriedly walked all the way into the hall, knelt in the center of the hall, and held the pond newspaper high with both hands.
Seeing this, many ministers glanced at each other and thought about what kind of bad news this is.
Chongzhen waved his hand weakly, and said weakly: "Read!" ”
Wang Chengen walked down, took the Tang newspaper, and read it in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and there was only Wang Chengen's voice in the entire hall.
After Wang Chengen finished reading this Tang newspaper, the quiet and dull hall gradually became commotion, many people whispered, Chen Xinjia sighed softly, and muttered softly: "It's over, this time it's completely finished!" ”
Tang Bao said that after the Manchu 100,000 iron cavalry defeated Gao Qiqian, he had already swung his army north and headed towards Langfang, and its vanguard elite 5,000 cavalry was led by Hao Ge and had arrived in Langfang.
Langfang is on the outskirts of Beijing, close to the capital, and the capital is in danger! The group training in Songjiang Mansion must be over.
The Manchu 100,000 iron cavalry, with the 2,000 regiments of Songjiang Mansion training soldiers, how to compete, it will definitely be over, Chen Xinjia knows that this group of soldiers in Songjiang Mansion is training all the infantry, even if they want to run, it is too late, the Manchu Tartars are cavalry! How can two legs outrun the four legs of a war horse.
Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair weakly, never thought that the situation had developed to such a bad point, the Manchu Qing 100,000 iron cavalry had threatened the capital, and in addition, Chongzhen also knew that the group of Songjiang Mansion regiment trainers he valued were also completely finished.
Should it be summed? Chongzhen thought so in his heart.
Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, observed the words and looks, and seemed to be guessing Chongzhen's thoughts, and after thinking that he had guessed correctly, Liu Yuliang came out and said: "Your Majesty, for this time, there is only one way to negotiate peace, except for the 100,000 elites guarding the capital, we have no available soldiers." ”
Liu Yuliang's performance aroused the echo of many ministers, and many ministers came out to perform.
"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Lord Liu's proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
“……”
Many reached agreement with peace, but opposition was not impossible, but the voice was obviously much smaller, and it can be seen that at this time, the opinion of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was to negotiate peace, cut land, pay compensation, and only ask the Manchus to return to the Guanwai.
Chen Xinjia opposed the peace, and after thinking about it, he still came out, "Your Majesty, the minister's suggestion is to wait and see what happens, and not to rush to negotiate peace, maybe there will be some miracles." ”
Liu Yuliang immediately objected, and sneered: "Lord Chen, this time the Manchu Qing Dynasty is 100,000 iron cavalry, and you still hope that the group of soldiers in Songjiang Mansion can create miracles with their only 2,000 people, you didn't talk in a dream." ”
Chen Xinjia opened his mouth in a slurch, but still didn't say anything, Chen Xinjia knew that in the face of the 100,000 iron horsemen of the Manchu Dynasty, this group of people in Songjiang Mansion was afraid that it would be difficult to make any waves.
But Chen Xinjia didn't want to negotiate peace, and after being stunned, he still said: "Your Majesty, there are still 100,000 elite soldiers in the capital, and we can completely defend it, and it is not undesirable to negotiate peace." ”
There are also some ministers who support Chen Xinjia, everyone opposes the peace, in the hall, there are endless arguments, and in the end there is no unity, Chongzhen waved his hand irritably, signaling the ebb tide, Wang Chengen shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Retreat from the dynasty!! ”
Finally retreated, the ministers withdrew from the hall, and the Ming Empire reached this point, and many ministers were in a heavy mood.
Emperor Chongzhen's heart is also relatively blocked, and even a little aggrieved, the Manchu Tartars have formed a climate, and Chongzhen can't help them, the uncomfortable and lost mood can't be described in words.
At the same time, Chongzhen couldn't help but think that the group of soldiers in Songjiang Mansion was finished, but unfortunately, if they didn't finish, with a little support, they might be able to develop into another elite and compete with the Manchu Tartars.
"Hey, it's all over, this group training has just occupied the head, and it will be gone soon, it's a pity!" Thinking so in his heart, Chongzhen shook his head slightly.
At this time, Zhang Feng is preparing to fight with Haoge!
Outside Langfang.
In this open field, the terrain is flat and almost impossible to see, and the two armies have already set up positions, separated by two or three hundred meters, and the battle is about to break out.
Zhang Feng stood straight, looked at the group of Manchu cavalry not far in front of him, and saw that the other party was orderly and disciplined, and couldn't help but say in his heart, it was really the elite of the Manchu Dynasty, it was really different.
Wang Chaoyong stood next to Zhang Feng, holding a command knife in his hand, looking at the Manchu cavalry in front of him who was black and pressed a large area, and said: "The chief soldier is worthy of being the elite of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is really extraordinary." ”
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "Today we will fight their elites and see if their cavalry is powerful, or our muskets are powerful." ”
Zhang Feng's words were full of confidence, and even Wang Chaoyong was infected, slowly raised his command knife, and shouted loudly: "Prepare to shoot!! ”
"Ready to shoot !!"
Hearing the order, the three battalion commanders, those company commanders, raised their sabers one after another, and shouted loudly with all their might, and the hundreds of soldiers who fired in the first round took two steps forward, holding their muskets, and aimed at the black Manchu cavalry in front.
And those fighters who were only a few dozen meters behind the fighters, holding fire folds, were ready to ignite, thirty-two unconscionable cannons, they were already the best to prepare, ready to shoot!
On the opposite side, the Manchu cavalry moved and launched an attack!
The black pressure was over, like a tide, and Nima's, five thousand Manchu Qing iron horsemen, actually all charged.
Oh my God, all charge!
Zhang Feng's face did not show nervousness, but he was not nervous in his heart, it was fake, in the face of the collective charge of five thousand Manchu cavalry, Zhang Feng did not have the certainty of victory, once he was rushed in front of the other party, it would be a big deal.
"Shooting !!"
Seeing that the other party was all charged, Zhang Feng picked up his short gun, pointed the muzzle of the gun to the sky, and shouted "shoot", Zhang Feng fired the first shot.
"Bang!"
After Zhang Feng's gunfire rang out, a dense burst of gunfire rang out......
