Under the city wall of Jingshi, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, due to the urgency of the war, the 150,000 Qinwang army, although they got three days' rations, their hearts are not particularly happy, but they also understand that this is already the best efforts of the Rui Wangfu.

Although Lord Rui also said that there was a White Tiger Army coming to reinforce behind, but it was a foot soldier, and the speed was slow. In the Ming Dynasty, if the foot soldiers walked a hundred miles a day, they would be unbearable, and most of them were thirty or fifty miles a day.

The White Tiger Army of more than 40,000 people led by Lu Xiangsheng now did not carry heavy artillery, basically holding the same equipment as the cavalry division, marching in this cold winter and wax moon, marching eighty miles a day, which is still fast. It's just that if you want to enter the Jingshi, you have to cross the boundary of the Taihang Mountains, and on this large mountain range running north-south, it took Lu Xiangsheng and them three days to cross.

Besides, there is almost a distance of about 2,500 from Hanzhong to Jingshi, and it will not be possible to reach it in less than a month.

This time, Zhu Changhao must Lu Xiangsheng arrive in Beijing, on the one hand, in addition to showing off his strength, on the other hand, there is also the place of seizing the mouth of the Yangtze River, after all, from Dengzhou Mansion to the mouth of the Yangtze River, this piece of plain terrain and peninsula terrain sandwich the comprehensive terrain, from north to south, there are Weihaiwei, Lingshanwei, as well as Qingzhou Mansion, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Huai'an, Fengyang, Yangzhou, Luzhou, Yingtianfu, Suzhou, these state capitals, since ancient times, have been the rich land of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the land of wealth, and all forces are entangled here. If there is no sufficient force to suppress it, relying only on the post stations and businesses of the Rui Wangfu, even if there is a name of royal blood, it will definitely be eaten by all forces, and there will be no bones left.

Besides, there are Cao Gangs and Salt Gangs, these two gangs are even more mixed, and there are no less than one million members.

According to the information provided by Hawkeye, these local gangs have been controlled by many forces, and their gang leaders, as well as the helmsmen of each rudder, are also the spokesmen of various interests.

Therefore, it is necessary to have military suppression in order to complete the perfect strategic layout.

Jingshi, Qinzheng Palace.

Lai Zongdao, Zhou Daodeng, Han Yi, Li Biao, Cheng Jiming, Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, stood beside Emperor Zhu Youzhen and answered the emperor's inquiries at any time.

Eighteen-year-old Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, who was in the Qinzheng Palace, kept pacing back and forth, and said in his mouth, "I am the co-master of the world, and this Emperor Taiji is simply no one in sight." Fifth Uncle too, since you have cavalry, why don't you block the enemy outside the pass? ”

Zhu Youzhen's question, no one answered, and the seven ministers were like clay bodhisattvas in the temple, just bowing down and listening to the emperor's complaints.

Zhu Youzhen, who had complained for a while, saw that none of the seven ministers answered him, so he sat on the dragon chair behind the imperial case angrily, and said by name, "Han Ge Lao, you are the first assistant, you come to tell me, now that the Jiannu are all in the capital city, what should I do?" ”

Han Yi listened to Chongzhen's question, and he felt a little uncomfortable, because a few days ago, Chongzhen asked Jinyiwei to issue a holy decree to Yuan Chonghuan, asking him not to enter Jizhen for half a step.

But now that he got the news, Yuan Chongfa came to the letter of request, saying that Keri would go to Beijing to kill the Tartars and defend the Beijing Division.

If it's in normal times, it's fine, but now, Yuan Chonghuan wants to enter the King of Jingqin, and he is also Yuan Chonghuan's teacher, so for solving the current predicament of the Beijing Division, then don't pull Yuan Chonghuan in, since he is a teacher, he must also avoid it.

Han Yi also understands in his heart that from the perspective of his own interests, he is also the shadow son of King Rui's side, and now, he wants to offer advice to the emperor from the perspective of the shadow son.

"Your Majesty, now under the Beijing Division, if the cavalry of Prince Rui is added, there will be no less than 150,000, according to the information provided by Commander Luo, last night, Prince Rui set up a meeting of the 31st King Qin Army in his tent. Among them, Rui Wangye is the leader of the alliance, Man Gui, Hou Shilu, and Geng Ruji is the deputy leader of the alliance.

Therefore, the old man felt that His Majesty might as well send a holy decree to Prince Rui and appoint him as the commander of the soldiers and horses defending the Beijing division this time, and the general of Yasukuni, so as to ensure the victory of the war. ”

After Han Yi finished speaking, Chongzhen thought about it.

Zhou Daodeng was unwilling, after all, now King Rui is strong and strong, and he has become the leader of the alliance, which is an agreement in King Qin's army, but to become the commander of the soldiers and horses, the general of Yasukuni, it will cause the court to recognize the identity of King Rui. If this Jingshi defense battle successfully repels Huang Taiji, coupled with the identity of the Great Ming Xian King, it will really shock the world.

Once something big happens, when the time comes, the prince of Rui will ascend to the heights and shout, and the world will gather to respond, win the grain and the scenery will follow, and when the time comes, the emperor will be affected.

After Zhou Daodeng told Zhu Youzhen about this concern, he stopped talking.

Cheng Jiming listened to Zhou Daodeng's words, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart, from this guy's words, Cheng Jiming knew that this was Zhou Daodeng giving eye medicine to Prince Rui in front of the emperor!

Although in the eyes of everyone, Cheng Jiming has always been a kind old man and never grudges with others, but it also takes time. Now that Daming has reached the time of life and death, and his life is at stake, who can care about the image of being honest or not.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say, but please ask the emperor for forgiveness first."

"Well, I forgive you for your innocence."

"Then the minister was presumptuous.

The emperor, the minister built yì, the crime of governing Zhou Dao and the country and the people, this fang in the survival of my Ming Dynasty, the autumn of life and death, all thinking about fighting for power and profit, for their own selfishness, in vain care of my Ming Society. Now Jiannu has to fight under the Jingshi City, and the Lord of Rui is not far away, day and night, and long-distance attack, just for King Qin.

Besides, in the Qinwang army that came this time, in addition to Datong Mangui in Dabian Town, it is Hou Shilu of Xuanfu, and the rest of the border army is basically a full number. However, there are not many soldiers in Datong and Xuanfu, less than 20,000 when they are full, and if you add the cavalry of Rui Wangye, it is more than 40,000 people.

Therefore, the key to the defense of Jingshi is that Rui Wangye, Man Gui, Hou Shilu and others can withstand the attack of Jiannu. Only when they arrived at Jiannu, the remaining Qinwang army took the initiative to attack, and let Huang Taiji and them fight on multiple fronts, and they couldn't be defeated if they were undefeated! ”

After Cheng Jiming finished speaking, although Zhu Youzhen and the others did not show anything on their faces, in their hearts, they still agreed with Cheng Jiming's words.

Cheng Ji ordered to see that they all accepted his own point of view, and immediately continued, "As the so-called sheep can't be without a head, these thirty-one Qin Wang Army, there is also a leader to save zài, Rui Wang Ye is the best candidate in terms of blood, talent, or strength, and he is the leader of the alliance."

The emperor gave him a commanding envoy, so what did it matter if the general of Yasukuni was there? Anyway, this Yasukuni general is just a miscellaneous general. ”

Cheng Ji's words finally persuaded Chongzhen and other ministers, but Zhou Daozong had already calculated Cheng Ji's life in his heart.

If there is a straw man, maybe this will be Zhou Daodeng will write the birth date and name of the basic life on the straw man, and then keep pricking it with a needle!

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the weather was gloomy and gloomy, and there was a feeling that heavy snow was coming.

Zhu Changhao saw that overnight, according to Song Xiance's strategic arrangement, Zhongqin Wang's army had arrived at different garrisons and arranged troops.

The three echelons, like the three rounds of glaive, use the largest arc to kill the Tartars as much as possible in the most elastic arc.

The candidates for the supervising team were also decided this time, and Zhu Changhao tried his best to override public opinion and let Zhao Shujiao, who had already died on the battlefield once, be the supervising general. Zhu Changhao also tried his best to override the 3,000 people of the supervision team, and directly put on the right arm of the 5,000 people, put on a black sleeve, put on the sleeve, and wrote the word "supervising the battle" with cinnabar.

Originally, there were 5,000 people, but this time, the supervising team used new firearms, so Zhu Changhao had to draw 2,000 people from his own team in the third echelon, and another 1,000 people from the other 30 Qinwang troops. The Warlords were essentially 3,000 men.

These three thousand, two thousand men of the cavalry division, on the basis of iron shields, Yakesi swords, nugong, and grenades, incendiary. shells, mortars, three-eyed firearms. The other thirty roads only have Akasi's sword, bow, and iron shield.

The most important thing is that these three thousand people are all riding war horses and wearing vermilion cloaks.

At breakfast time, when the taste of the broth in the whole camp was so strong, the Guangqu Gate was pushed open by the guards guarding the city, and an old eunuch came out with two little eunuchs behind.

When the cavalry division saw that the gate was open, he immediately unsheathed his sword and wound his arrows at the three men.

When the old eunuch saw it, he immediately shouted at the throat of the male duck, "Don't release the arrow, the miscellaneous family is a messenger, Lord Rui, please accept the decree!" ”

When the soldiers of the cavalry division heard that it was the eunuch who came out of the palace to deliver the decree, they relaxed their vigilance, but everyone's Yakexi war knife was not accepted.

Zhu Changhao was having breakfast with all the generals of the Qinwang Army, and heard Liu Zheng say that the small yellow gate of the palace came to deliver the decree, let them in directly, and put down his rice bowl to greet him.

"Zhu Changhao, the king of Zhongrui in the Han Dynasty, received the order, long live my emperor", Zhu Changhao knelt on the cold ground and said.

The Qin Wang army from all walks of life in the back also knelt down.

The old eunuch said in a sharp male duck voice, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, the state affairs are difficult, and the ambition of the Jiannu Tartar is not dead, and I am the capital of the Ming Dynasty." Today, there are loyal and brave people from all walks of life who have entered Beijing to protect my Ming Dynasty, and I am very relieved. Today, Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui, is the commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang army and the general of Yasukuni, leading and commanding the armies to kill Jiannu and raise the prestige of our country. ”

"Long live Your Majesty."

Zhu Changhao stood up and took the yellow silk holy decree, the old eunuch saw that this holy decree was finally sent out, and immediately overjoyed, and wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhu Changhao's expression, he immediately turned over and trotted into the Guangqu Gate, as if Zhu Changhao was going to burst his chrysanthemum.

After this holy decree of the commander of the soldiers and horses, Zhu Changhao suddenly felt a taste of justification.

After lunch, it was the morning exercise, and Zhu Changhao decided to rehearse today according to the model of the three echelons.

Just as the drums and trumpets sounded, the detectives of the pioneer battalion said, "Report! Lord Wang, Jiannu is already one hundred and twenty miles away."
