Morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The focus of the court meeting was naturally the Manchu invasion, and the news was worse than the other, after Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, finished the recent battle, the whole hall was quiet, and there was a strong depression in the silence.

For the Ming Dynasty, the situation was simply terrible.

Since the invasion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the large and small battles have been carried out dozens of times, the Ming army has lost many victories and few, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has even conquered fifteen cities, according to this trend, the entire area near the capital will suffer, and the situation may be worse than the Manchu invasion in the ninth year of Chongzhen.

Something worse happened yesterday.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry, which was pinned on high hopes, had a big battle with the Manchu Qing Right Wing Army in the northern suburbs of Langfang, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry was defeated, with a loss of more than 10,000 cavalry, and now, the Guanning Iron Cavalry has retreated thirty miles and put on a defensive posture.

Lu Xiangsheng's situation was also not good, and the Manchu iron cavalry led by Zhuozhou and Dolgon was defeated three times in three battles, and now he has retreated to Baoding.

The situation of the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang was even worse, except for a small number of people who could meet with Lu Xiangsheng or Gao Qiqian, most of them were routed on the road, and once they encountered the Manchu iron cavalry, these Qinwang soldiers and horses had almost no strength to fight.

The situation is so bad, Emperor Chongzhen's face is ugly, and Emperor Chongzhen at this moment is even thinking about whether he should ask the Manchus for peace.

"Report !!"

A little eunuch held a newspaper above his head with both hands, and hurriedly entered the hall while shouting.

Seeing this, many ministers thought in their hearts, there must be some bad news coming, could it be that Governor Lu was besieged, or Guanning Iron Cavalry fought another big defeat.

Emperor Chongzhen was disheartened, and waved his hand weakly: "Companion, read the Tang Bao to everyone." ”

Wang Chengen took the Tang newspaper from the little eunuch's hand, opened it and looked at it a little, his face changed, and many ministers who paid attention to Wang Chengen's expression felt cold in their hearts, sure enough, it was really bad news.

After Wang Chengen's face changed slightly, his face gradually flushed, and he was excited, and said in a voice that was almost a little trembling: "Congratulations, long live, this is a good news, a great good news." ”

Great news!

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned at first, but he never thought that at this time, he would have a good news coming, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, could it be that Lu Aiqing has won a big victory." ”

Wang Chengen immediately said: "Long live, it's not Lord Lu, the Tang newspaper said that two days ago, Lord Zhang, the chief soldier of the Songjiang Prefecture regimental training, led 2,000 people to behead 1,000 Manchu iron cavalry through field battles near Huangzhuang in the northwest of Tianjin. ”

Songjiang Prefecture group practice!

Behead a thousand Manchu Iron Horsemen!

Suddenly, the whole hall was in an uproar, and the ministers discussed one after another, many of them had expressions of disbelief, some were shocked, and some were so excited that they almost cried.

Zhang killed 1,000 Manchu iron cavalry with 2,000 soldiers, and it was still a field battle.

As you know, this is a Tang newspaper, and there will definitely be no fakes, and at this juncture, no one dares to lie about the invitation.

Emperor Chongzhen slapped his thigh suddenly, stood up, and said two good words in a row, annihilating a thousand Manchu iron cavalry, which is the best record since the Manchu invasion.

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Who is this Lord Zhang?" Ladies and gentlemen, who of you knows, if possible, I really want to go to Tianjin Wei to see how a group of 2,000 people killed a thousand Manchu iron horsemen. ”

The ministers really don't know who Lord Zhang, the chief soldier of the Songjiang Prefecture Regiment Training, is, and Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, is not clear.

Chen Xinjia only vaguely remembered that about half a year ago, Songjiang Prefecture sent an official document to the military department to report to the Songjiang Prefecture regiment training commander.

Regimental training is only a military organization of a local nature, and at most it can only be regarded as a quasi-military organization, and the regimental training of a government does not need the approval of the Ministry of War at all, at most it only needs to be reported.

Chen Xinjia relied on his vague memory and said: "Your Majesty, if Weichen is not mistaken, Master Zhang, the chief soldier of Songjiang Mansion's regimental training, is a native of Songjiang Prefecture, and he is seventeen years old this year, and he only started to establish regimental training in March this year. ”

Chongzhen nodded and said: "I am only seventeen years old, and I only founded a group training in March this year, a group training of 2,000 people, and actually killed a thousand enemies, which is amazing!" ”

Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, also echoed: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is really a young tiger general!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "If there were a few such Zhang Zongbing, it would be impossible for the Manchu Tartars to be so rampant. ”

This time, Zhang Feng put a number on Emperor Chongzhen for the first time, and this time he sent troops to King Qin, Zhang Feng's purpose was to earn a little political capital, perhaps, this time he could really realize this wish.

…………

Tianjin Wei.

Compared with a few days ago, Tianjin Wei has changed a little, the houses that were burned down by the Tartars have basically been cleaned or repaired, and there are more pedestrians on the streets.

The castle and the barracks were renovated and cleaned, and the barracks were temporarily used as barracks for the soldiers.

Some of the food seized from the Manchu iron riders last time was distributed to the victims of the military disaster, and some was used as military rations, or given to the cooking squad to cook porridge to relieve the victims.

On the city wall, Zhang Feng is accompanied by Wang Chaoyong to inspect, the Tianjin Guard City is very tall, built very scientifically, Zhang Feng is very satisfied with the city wall, the only fly in the ointment is that his personnel are a little less, less than 2,000 people, even if all on the city wall, it seems a little insufficient.

The length and width of the city wall are several miles, and the rectangular city wall adds up to a total length of more than ten miles, and if the two thousand people are evenly distributed in such a long city wall, it is estimated that there is only one person in three or four meters.

There are too few people!

Zhang Feng shook his head slightly and sighed lightly, although he fought a big victory last time, but Zhang Feng's situation was not good, intelligence showed that the Manchu Qing right-wing army under the leadership of Yue Tuo defeated tens of thousands of Guanning iron cavalry yesterday in one day, and now, the Guanning iron cavalry has retreated thirty miles and put on a defensive posture.

In this way, the Manchu Right Wing Army will be able to free up some of its forces to deal with itself, and the next, if it is not bad, will definitely be a fierce battle.

"Captain Wang, I'll give you a task."

Hearing that there was a task, Wang Chaoyong immediately stood up and said loudly: "Chief soldier, you say, I will definitely do it." ”

Zhang Feng nodded, pointed to the city wall and said: "Commander Wang, we only have 1,700 or 800 people when we are full, and it is obviously very difficult for such a small number of people to defend Tianjin. ”

Wang Chaoyong obviously also found a problem, and said with a serious expression: "General soldier, our people are indeed too few, if there are five or six thousand people, I estimate that there is not much problem in holding Tianjin Wei." ”

Zhang Feng said: "If there are not enough manpower, we will increase manpower!" ”

Wang Chaoyong said suspiciously: "Chief soldier, how to increase manpower, now at this time, it is too late to increase manpower!" ”

There is definite news that the Tartars are already preparing to attack Tianjin Wei, obviously wanting to take revenge, but I don't know how many people will come from the Tartars this time and when they will come.

However, it is estimated that the number of people will not be small, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, the Tartars will come to the Tianjin Acropolis, so Wang Chaoyong said that it is too late to increase the number of people at this time.

However, Zhang Feng has Zhang Feng's plans.

Zhang Feng said: "Battalion Commander Wang, send people to mobilize immediately, not only in the city, but also in the nearby villages and towns outside the city, we will send people to ride horses to mobilize, and anyone who is willing to participate in the fight with us will be given ten taels of silver each, of course, people will die in battle, in case they are killed by the Tartars, we will give a pension of one hundred taels of silver." ”

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men!

Wang Chaoyong immediately said: "Chief soldier, there is no problem with this, but these ordinary people who have been recruited have never fought at all, is this okay?" ”

Zhang Feng smiled mysteriously and said: "Okay, you will know then, your task now is to mobilize immediately, but remember, try to be young and middle-aged, it is best to have brothers and sisters in the family, and it is best not to have an only child." ”

Fighting a war really kills people, and Zhang Feng doesn't want his only son to die on the battlefield.

Without Zhang Feng's orders, Wang Chaoyong acted immediately, this is rushing for time, the sooner the better, there is obviously not much time, and the Tartars may come to the city at any time.
