On December 20 of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji personally led the left and right wings of the Eight Banners and the Mongolian coalition army of more than 100,000 troops to the city of Beijing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoYuan Chonghuan led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to Beijing City to camp at Shawomen, and the two armies confronted each other under the city of Beijing. Yuan Chonghuan did not know that he was already facing the situation of being attacked on both sides, and he was actively mobilizing the army to prepare for the war.

The Forbidden City, the Imperial Palace, and the court meeting are in full swing, and the main hall is in full swing.

"Your Majesty, the ministers request to detain Yuan Chonghuan!" Cai Zhongzheng shouted.

Imperial history Li Banghua also came out to speak, saying, "Yuan Chonghuan deceived the kingdom, killed Mao Wenlong without permission, and negotiated peace with Houjin privately. All kinds of crimes, their crimes should be punished! ”

Then all the officials and imperial historians knelt down one after another, "Ministers, please kill Yuan Chonghuan!" ”

Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, looked at these imperial doctors and shook his head secretly, the national disaster was at hand, and only Yuan Chonghuan and a few others came to help, which was enough to explain the problem. At that time, these imperial historians didn't think about how to defend the Jingshi, and they were still instigating the emperor to kill Yuan Chonghuan. But he can only think about these thoughts in his heart, and he mourns for Yuan Chonghuan in his heart, and he is really unhappy to say it.

Li Biao, the first assistant of the cabinet, knelt down with the ministers this time and asked Yuan Chonghuan to kill. When Chen Xinjia saw it, he sighed and knelt down, but he didn't say a word.

Since the eunuch party was exterminated, the Donglin forces have risen again. Almost all of the people in the court are Donglin Party members, and the Yanguan Yushi is also Donglin Party members, even the first assistant Li Biao does not dare to oppose these Yanguan Yushi in the court, otherwise these people will expose your old background from decades ago and suppress you.

Chongzhen saw that all the ministers knelt down, and even Li Biao, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, seconded the proposal. Chongzhen rubbed his aching head and said slowly, "There is evidence of guilt." ”

Sure enough, Li Banghua, the imperial historian, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it over, "The minister has ironclad evidence to prove that Yuan Chonghuan deceived the monarch and betrayed the country, fornicated with Mongolia, and vainly discussed twenty-one major crimes such as Pingliao for five years, all of which can lead to death. ”

Chongzhen became interested all of a sudden, originally he was also very dissatisfied with Yuan Chonghuan's unauthorized killing of Mao Wenlong, Chongzhen thought that Mao Wenlong still had some restraining effect. But since Mao Wenlong is dead, Fang relied on Yuan Chonghuan, so he also rewarded him, and he was also very curious about what Yuan Chonghuan had done.

Bingbi eunuch Wang Chengen handed the paper letter to Chongzhen, Chongzhen's expression slowly changed from initial curiosity, to surprise, then to shock, and finally trembled with anger. got up and pointed at Li Banghua, threw the paper letter to the ground, and said, "This, this, these are all true?" ”

Li Banghua knelt at the foot of the stairs and said loudly, "If it is not true, the ministers are willing to die!" After that, all the ministers followed and shouted, "If it is not true, the ministers will die!" ”

Chongzhen was angry and shouted, "Someone! Give me Yuan Chonghuan to be sent to the Beijing Division! ”

Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, suddenly came out of the ranks, and said, "The emperor can't!" At this time, the arrest of Yuan Chonghuan was taboo, and the main force of the Qinwang army at this time was the Liaodong Army under Yuan Chonghuan, and the arrest of Yuan Chonghuan was afraid that it would provoke a mutiny. Besides, the slaves and thieves are powerful, and at this time, the arrest of the commander of the Qin Wang Army is afraid that the capital will be lost. ”

Chen Xinjia's words were agreed by most people, and the word mutiny was a big deal in the eyes of these civil ministers. As early as the first year of Chongzhen, there was a mutiny in Liaodong, and that time it was Yuan Chonghuan who rode into the camp alone to quell it. Coupled with what Chen Xinjia said, Chongzhen suddenly remembered that at this time, there were still 100,000 Houjin troops outside the capital, and it was really unwise to arrest Yuan Chonghuan at this time.

Chongzhen had to endure his anger for the time being, and said, "What Chen Aiqing said is very much in line with my intentions, I ordered you to take people out of the city to reward the army of the Qinwang from all walks of life, remember, don't let them enter the city." ”

Chen Xinjia felt aggrieved in his heart, at this time, the Houjin army was outside the city, who wanted to go out, but the emperor's order could not be violated, so he had to say yes hard.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng has entered the Beijing Division, yesterday and Mangui and other troops arrived in the Beijing Division, the eunuch who guarded the gate heard that Lu Xiangsheng's Qinwang Army immediately reported to Chongzhen, after deliberation Chongzhen allowed him to enter the city, and the 10,000 volunteers he recruited were scattered on the city wall of Deshengmen to assist in the defense of the Beijing camp.

Xiao Yi was on top of this city wall at this time, and he and his more than 100 people were in charge of the defense of this part of the city wall together with a team of Beijing battalions, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp were all dressed in beautiful golden armor. Seeing that even the volunteers in the mandarin duck robes were sneering there, Wang Dahu Shi Gang's violent temper would have gone to fight with those people in Beijing if it weren't for Xiao Yi and a few people to stop him.

Speaking of Jingying, at this time, Jingying is not like the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it is completely an empty shell, and now Jingying is completely a showcase. With 500,000 soldiers, the real people are not even 100,000, most of them are the sons of powerful people in the capital, and they don't practice at all.

As soon as the emperor came to inspect, he hurriedly put on bright armor to make a show, and Chongzhen and some unknown ministers thought that the 500,000 Beijing camps of the Beijing division were all there, and they looked unhurried.

Xiao Yi looked at Shi Gang and the others with envious eyes, Xiao Yi said in a low voice, "Don't look at these people who are bright and bright, they are all superficial phenomena, I will make a bet with you, once the slaves and thieves attack, these people must be the first to run." ”

Shi Gang said in surprise, "No, one of them is tall and big, and they are wearing such fine armor." Huang Yang also said, "Yes, they are the Beijing battalion, no one knows the record of the Beijing camp, the Beijing division has 500,000 Beijing battalions, and they are the most elite troops in the whole Ming Dynasty." ”

Xiao Yi sneered in his heart, the most elite in the whole Ming Dynasty? This is just a superficial phenomenon, the armor is fancy, and the appearance of making it is also deliberate, not to mention their combat effectiveness is the most elite, Xiao Yi believes that they can't even win the battle with the people who have only trained for a few days.

But Xiao Yi didn't say much, laughed and didn't say anything, which made Huang Yang and the others inexplicable.

Outside the city, the camp of the Houjin army. In a heavily guarded tent, Huang Taiji looked at Azig with guilt in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Zhao Shujiao really let you go?" ”

Hauge laughed and said, "I also heard that this kid not only let go of Zhao Shujiao, but also was shot off his helmet, and chased that kid with tens of thousands of Manchurian and Mongolian coalition troops for dozens of miles. ”

The more Azig listened, the more guilty he felt, and the more guilty he felt, the angrier he became, "Haug! ”

Huang Taiji waved his hand, looked at Azig in disappointment, and said, "I gave you an army, not to let you chase a kid and run, you really lost the face of the Jurchens." ”

Azig yelled, "Your Majesty! I ask for meritorious service! ”

Dolgon came out to relieve the siege of Azig, "Let Azig make meritorious contributions, now it is the time for the decisive battle, and it is the time to employ people." "The Great Bel Dai Shan, Bel Zil Harang, Yue Xu, Du Du, Sakhalian and others all appeared to intercede for him.

Huang Taiji sighed, "Well, since everyone is interceding for you." This time, I will forgive you, and you will be allowed to make meritorious service for your crimes, and you will lead the vanguard to attack the Ming army outside the Desheng Gate. ”

Azig was extremely excited, and hurriedly got up and said, "Azig thank you to the emperor, when I leave the station, I will lead the vanguard to kill the Ming army without leaving a single piece of armor!" ”

Huang Taiji waved his hand, got up and said, "Launch a general attack!" ”

On the same day, the Houjin army began to attack, and Huang Taiji personally led the Great Bel Dai Shan, Bel Zil Harang, Yue Xu, Du Du, Sakhalian, etc., to lead the four banners of the right wing of Manchuria, as well as the Mongolian soldiers on the right flank, to move towards the troops of Mangui and Hou Shilu.

At the same time, Mang Gurtai led the four banners of the left wing of Manchuria and 2,000 Mongolian soldiers to attack Yuan Chonghuan's army.

Xiao Yi was on the city wall, watching the flags of the rear march move around, divided into two parts. One is coming towards Desheng Gate on his side, and the other is heading towards Guangqu Gate! Xiao Yi got up and looked at the Ming army under Deshengmen, who were slightly flustered, the Ming army obviously noticed the change in the rear march, and the reactions of the two Ming armies were also completely different.

The Ming army under Desheng contracted its defenses, apparently hoping to rely on the camp to resist the Houjin Iron Cavalry. And the Guanning Iron Cavalry outside the Guangqu Gate was actually led by Yuan Chonghuan and bravely rushed towards the Houjin cavalry of Mang Gurtai.

Looking at the Qi family knife in his hand, Xiao Yi thought to himself: This time, he only has a hundred people, and he is powerless to prevent this disaster, and next time, will he be so powerless.
