Of course, even if Qiu Luan really fainted to death, it would be useless, because of the emperor's will, it was impossible to take it back. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info to know the emperor's favor, but in a thought, just now I trusted myself, but if I didn't keep the capital, hehe, it is estimated that the skin is light...

So Qiu Luan used his brain and began to think about the defense work of Beijing, as the saying goes, as soon as human beings think, God laughs, Qiu Luan's thinking, God really laughs. Because Qiu Luan's method is very simple, that is, to continue negotiations...

But this time, he really can't blame Qiu Luan, because the reality forces him, and he can't think of any better way, he really doesn't have any soldiers in his hands!

It turned out that there were too many people in the capital who were paid empty salaries, and the Beijing army, which was originally claimed to be 140,000, was actually only more than 50,000 people. What's even more terrifying is that these more than 50,000 people are not imaginary elite soldiers, but old and weak soldiers, and some of them are so old that even holding weapons is a problem...

Why is this problem? Because the number one corruption in the army is empty salary. This problem has been going on for a long time, because the army really doesn't have much oil and water to fish, and after Yan Song came to power, he set a good example, and this problem of empty pay has become more and more serious.

The current secretary of the military department is Ding Rukui, and he also knows this unspoken rule, but he has no ability to solve it, because part of the empty salary is still to honor Lord Yan Songyan...

If you don't check the problem of empty salaries in the capital, you will never find out, because the big turmoil in the capital is really a rare thing in a century. A hundred years forward, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen encountered it once, and he was also taken to the prairie.

Later, Yu Qian protected the safety of the capital through the defense of the capital, and the capital also showed its might, but later the capital basically had nothing to do except practice and help in the local area.

Now about a hundred years have passed, I have come here again, and the capital has encountered a crisis again, but the current Beijing army can no longer show the power of the year, because Yan Song never thought that I would come to rob the capital anyway! If I knew this, I wouldn't have accepted this part of the money from the Beijing army's empty salary!

Okay, now Yan Song is thinking at home, how to mix up the matter of the empty salary in the capital, and Qiu Luan is thinking, what should the defense of the capital do?

Judging from the current situation, the other local armies of King Qin did not arrive, and he only brought 20,000 cavalry from Datong, and with this number, to defend the huge city of Beijing, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

You must know that I also successively mobilized about 50,000 soldiers and horses, and basically took out his entire base, because the losses in the last war were too heavy.

There are nine gates in the city of Beijing, and my own less than 80,000 people are assigned to nine gates, each gate is less than 10,000 people. Hmm, then after a calculation, our Qiu Zongbing is going to faint again, so let's negotiate...

So on a dark and windy night, the envoy sent by Qiu Luan and Qiu's general army quietly again..., oh, no, this time it was above board, and walked into the camp outside the city, because Zhu Houxi also had a tacit attitude towards this matter.

However, this negotiation did not go as smoothly as it did in Datong, because I replied that this time I really wanted to negotiate. Qiu Luan's conditions are very simple, as long as your old man doesn't attack the city, you can do anything. My answer is also very pleasant, you just let me pay tribute.

However, this seemingly simple condition, Qiu Luan will never dare to agree, this is not as simple as giving some money, it is related to the country's image and policy.

Although the tribute sounds very good, if I agree to him, it is equivalent to being able to ask his envoy in the future to go to the territory of the Ming Dynasty casually, arbitrarily take the strong, and put forward all kinds of harsh conditions.

As for Zhu Houxi, what to do? That's not his own problem, Qiu Luan thought with peace of mind...

Of course, negotiations are negotiations, but the sabotage of Alta continues. He first grabbed a pass in Changping, then flowed to Miyun and Huairou, circled around Beijing, and finally settled in Tongzhou.

This circle is not a tourism in the ordinary sense, but rape, murder and plunder, all kinds of evil, the people around the capital can be beaten, the family is ruined, the crying is everywhere, and even some places have ignited a raging fire, the fire is soaring to the sky. I don't know if you can see it outside the capital, you can see it inside the capital, countless people are sighing, countless people are indignant, but they can't help it at all.

There is another person who saw this sky-high fire, he was also sighing, he was also indignant, and to some extent, he also had a way, he was Peng Yue.

Although he promised Yan Mengyun and Gu Wan'er that he would no longer get involved in the political disputes, it was no longer a matter of political disputes, but a matter of human life.

He had been to the northwest, he had fought, and he had seen the brutality of those Tartar soldiers after breaking through the city, and he didn't dare to imagine what the situation was like outside the city, I was afraid that hell on earth would be nothing more than that, right?

Yan Mengyun also seemed to see Peng Yue's hesitation and concerns, she walked over and gently held Peng Yue's hand, "Xianggong, the people outside... It should be miserable, right? ”

"Hmm...", Peng Yue nodded at Yan Mengyun, "I think... They should be miserable..."

Yan Mengyun opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she lowered her head and didn't speak.

"Mengyun, I think... I want to do my part to help them, okay? Peng Yue looked at Yan Mengyun with some pleading in his tone.

"Hmm...", Yan Mengyun nodded again, "The concubine also hopes that they can be well, but the concubine wants you to be okay too, you have to promise the concubine, 10 million... Don't be fine! ”

"Well, don't worry, I will definitely protect myself!" , Peng Yue seemed to have received some precious promise, and immediately became excited.

Yan Mengyun couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw Peng Yue like this, "You look like this, you really don't reassure me..."

"Rest assured, you must rest assured!" , Peng Yue let go of Yan Mengyun's hand and stroked her white and tender face dotingly, "I'll go to the study first, you wait for me here, and I'll be back soon!" With that, Peng Yue turned around and walked quickly towards the study.

Looking at the back of Peng Yue leaving in a hurry, Yan Mengyun suddenly felt a little sad again, she seemed to see the appearance of Peng Yue returning from a serious injury last time, "Are you... But don't do anything..." )
