Fengtian Temple, early dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the invasion of the Manchu Dynasty, the focus of the daily morning court deliberations is naturally the war with the Manchus, and today is naturally no exception, everyone not only discussed the rout of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, but also honored Lu Xiangsheng's retreat to Baoding.

After the discussion, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the ministers and said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, what else is going on?" ”

After thinking about it, the military department is still out of the ranks, and it is necessary to present this new situation to Emperor Chongzhen, Chen Xinjia said: "Your Majesty, the latest situation, the Manchu Qing Right Wing Army has sent a department, at least 10,000 thousands of people have begun to go out of the city, and go straight to Tianjin Wei. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "It's the Manchu right-wing army that defeated the Guanning Iron Cavalry yesterday, 10,000 thousands?" ”

Chen Xinjia said: "Your Majesty, it is this right-wing army. ”

As soon as Chen Xinjia's voice fell, there was a buzz in the entire hall, many ministers discussed together, and some ministers were even more moved, even the Guan Ning army was defeated by the Manchu Qing right-wing army, and the regiment in Tianjin Wei was in danger.

Many ministers know that this regimental training of Tianjin Wei fought a big victory in front of it, and one guy destroyed a thousand enemies, and this regimental training was registered with Emperor Chongzhen, and the emperor is optimistic about this regimental training.

Emperor Chongzhen coughed lightly, the discussion in the hall immediately stopped, the whole hall quieted down, and Emperor Chongzhen said: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, you really don't have any good plans, and in the entire capital, except for the soldiers who defend the city, there are no soldiers to send.

After a long time, Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, came out and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that everything can only be done by the mandate of heaven, we have no hopeless soldiers in our hands, and we are powerless!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen sighed softly, to be honest, Emperor Chongzhen was really reluctant to train such a regiment, and even had a plan, if he had the opportunity, he must summon the general soldiers of this regimental training, it seems that everything is impossible.

In this case, no one is optimistic about this group training, and in the face of 10,000 thousands of Manchu Qing Tartars, there is no possibility of survival, and there is only one ending, that is, being destroyed.

After sighing, Emperor Chongzhen, who was unwilling, said: "Chen Aiqing, there is really no soldier to send?" ”

Chen Xinjia lowered his head and said without confidence: "Your Majesty, you can only put together three thousand people at most, and if there are more, it will affect the security of the Jingshi's guards." ”

More than 3,000 people, a fart.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was a little ugly, Chen Xinjia's heart tightened, knowing that the emperor's anger might be vented on his body immediately, Chen Xinjia wiped the cold sweat on his head, and suggested: "Your Majesty, the closest to Tianjin Wei is the Guan Ning Army, do you want to send the Guan Ning Army to the rescue." ”

Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, immediately objected: "The Guanning army is newly defeated, and it is facing the Manchu right-wing army, if the troops are divided and sent to rescue, they may be broken by the Manchu right-wing army." ”

Chen Xinjia immediately said: "Elder Liu Ge, as long as the Guanning army sends a part of the iron cavalry, there is no need for the main force of the Guanning army to dispatch." ”

Liu Yuliang immediately said: "How much is a part of the iron horse, one thousand, or five thousand, or ten thousand?" ”

Chen Xinjia hesitated, "This, this, this is estimated to take tens of thousands." ”

Liu Yuliang sneered at each other: "Tens of thousands of iron horses, in case the tens of thousands of iron horses rescued have three longs and two shorts, the losses are all the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, I think it is not worth sending troops to rescue for the sake of less than two thousand regiments of soldiers." ”

Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, glanced at Liu Yuliang, Liu Yuliang's heart was tight, and the cold sweat almost came down, Liu Yuliang knew that he had failed to understand the holy will, and His Majesty the Emperor was dissatisfied with himself.

Liu Yuliang was about to speak, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, Liu Yuliang swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and Emperor Chongzhen said: "Spread my will, the Guanning Army sent a department to Tianjin Wei to rescue." ”

The matter was settled like this, and many ministers knew that this Zhang Feng had not only been registered with Emperor Chongzhen, but also had a good status, and Emperor Chongzhen actually attached so much importance to it.

However, many people are not optimistic about this rescue, not to mention whether the rescue can be successful, that is, it is difficult to say whether Zhang Feng's regimental training can hold Tianjin Wei.

Two thousand regiments of soldiers, in the face of 10,000 Manchu iron cavalry, even if it is the Mongolian Eight Banners, it is estimated that they will be wiped out in an instant, what is the concept of 2,000 against 10,000, even the civil officials know very well in their hearts.

To tell the truth, Emperor Chongzhen was not sure that Zhang Feng's 2,000 regiments of soldiers would be able to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements, so he did not say that he must succeed in the rescue and that Zhang Feng and others must be rescued.

"Report !!"

A little eunuch, holding the Tang Bao above his head with both hands, lowered his head, trotted all the way over, knelt down in the center of the main hall, and lifted the Tang Bao high.

Seeing this scene, many ministers muttered in their hearts again, could there be any bad news coming. The eunuch Wang Chengen personally took the Tang newspaper, looked at it and said: "Your Majesty, the first part of the Manchu Right Wing Army, mainly Mongolian iron cavalry, with archers, heavy armor, and red-coated cannons, about 13,000 people, has arrived under the Tianjin Acropolis. ”

And the red-coated cannon!

Many ministers glanced at each other, and they all saw the solemnity in each other's eyes, and even Emperor Chongzhen could only let out a long sigh, in the face of such a situation, he could only do his best and obey the destiny of heaven.

The ministers said in their hearts, it's over, this regimental training of Tianjin Wei must be over.

…………

Forty miles northwest of Langfang, the garrison of the Guanning Army.

In the marching tent, the face of the person sitting high is white, this person is the Guanning Military Supervisor Gao Qiqian, and below is standing the chief soldier, the commander, the thousand general, etc., Chongzhen's will has come.

If Zhang Feng was here, he would definitely be slightly surprised, among these people, there was also his "old acquaintance" Zhao Guangcai.

are all eunuchs, Zhao Guangcai used to be a little eunuch under Gao Qiqian, this time he led the troops to Qin Wang, and Zhao Guangcai led the troops to just arrived here today.

Nearly 2,000 soldiers of the Songjiang Prefecture Guard, under the leadership of Tan Weidong, the commander of the guard, and Zhao Guangcai, the superintendent, can be said to have experienced hardships, especially after approaching the Jingshi area, they encountered the Manchu Iron Cavalry twice and were defeated by the Manchu Iron Cavalry twice.

The second time was almost completely dispersed, Tan Weidong was killed in battle, Zhao Guangcai ran fast with a hundred and ten people, and actually managed to escape, and arrived at the Guanning army camp yesterday.

Seeing Gao Qiqian, Zhao Guangcai can be said to have made a lot of sycophants, and even paid tribute to a big silver ticket, Gao Qiqian was happy and kept Zhao Guangcai as a cronie.

After receiving Chongzhen's will, Gao Qiqian immediately summoned the following general soldiers, commanders, and thousands of generals to discuss, and Gao Qiqian said: "Everyone, who is willing to lead the troops to rescue that group of soldiers." ”

Everyone is silent, because everyone knows that this is not a good errand, and if it is not done well, a small life will be taken.

Zhao Guangcai saw that everyone was silent, knowing that his opportunity had come, Zhao Guangcai was inexplicably excited in his heart since he knew that the group of soldiers in Tianjin Wei was Zhang Feng.

Zhao Guangcai said in his heart, God really helped me, I have been suffering from no chance to retaliate against Zhang Feng, this time is a God-given opportunity, so, Zhao Guangcai said: "Godfather, I have a suggestion, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

The two are about the same age, Gao Qiqian is a big eunuch, Zhao Guangcai can only be regarded as a little shrimp, Zhao Guangcai recognized his godfather and is willing to be Gao Qiqian's godson.

Gao Qiqian said: "Talk, let's listen to it." ”

Zhao Guangcai said: "Godfather, since the emperor's will is to rescue, we must go to the rescue, and the godson is willing to lead the troops there." ”

Gao Qiqian was overjoyed in his heart, and thought in his heart, no one wants to do this errand, so Gao Qiqian said with satisfaction: "Okay, how many soldiers and horses do you need me to give you?" ”

Zhao Guangcai said: "Two thousand cavalry is enough. ”

Gao Qiqian said happily: "Yes, just two thousand cavalry, set off immediately." ”

Zhao Guangcai said: "Godfather, don't be in a hurry to set off, are we two thousand people after all, we need to prepare a little, and we will set off early tomorrow morning, I don't know if it's okay." ”

Gao Qiqian also knew that sending troops to rescue him was just to block everyone's mouths and make a show, Gao Qiqian never thought that he could rescue the 2,000 regiment of soldiers.

So, Gao Qiqian said: "Yes, then make preparations and leave for Tianjin Wei tomorrow morning." ”

Zhao Guangcai was overjoyed in his heart, and thought in his heart, great, wait for tomorrow, Zhang Feng must have been destroyed, and when the Manchu Qing Dynasty retreats from Tianjin Wei, then make a show of himself, go to Tianjin Wei to take a look, maybe you can still see the tragic situation after Zhang Feng's death.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guangcai was inexplicably happy in his heart.
