Chapter 640: Fight with heart

The next morning, the autumn breeze blows over every inhabitant of the city. The people who slept on the roads or in the ditches gathered together and whispered about what was happening outside the city, and everyone had excited smiles on their faces.

The Ming army was victorious, and it was not a small victory, but a real victory, and it is said that the Tartar soldiers were killed in a mess, and even the camp was moved back. No matter how much you look at it, this is exciting news, and everyone is carefully discussing how long it will be before the imperial court can kill all the Tartars and return home. Others knelt there and howled, "it, open your eyes and see, the military masters in the Beijing Division have finally avenged you!" ”

Today's Ming Dynasty situation, although it is different from the Yingzong Dynasty, the Son of Heaven Chong Ling practiced the throne, and the three Yang Dynasty were in charge of the court bureau, but the court meeting was similar to that time and had no practical significance. The Son of Heaven did not have much power to speak, and the ministers handed it over after the morning outside the Fengtian Gate, and most of the Son of Heaven would only reply with "I know" or "hand it over to the ministry for discussion", and there would be no result.

However, in the morning of today, two imperial envoys of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and one of the military departments were in the middle of the matter, and at the same time, Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, went out to fight the wave without a will, privately transferred troops and horses, and openly violated the holy decree and asked the Son of Heaven to fall. From last night's tearing up to the appearance of these twists and turns, everyone knows in their hearts that another round of turmoil is about to begin.

It is not surprising that this kind of official bites the nobles, after all, the nobles are on the same holiday with the country, and biting them is considered to be a correct position. What's more, last night, these nobles did fight a battle with the Mongols, and what is even more unforgivable is that they actually won.

thinks that if you defeat the enemy, you will definitely get flowers and applause, and even get praise from the people, and receive countless praises, but it can only be said that you still don't understand. The Ming Dynasty cannot be said to have paid no attention to the Beiyu, but the method of attaching importance to it is to mark the price of a Beilu's head at fifty taels of silver, and the head can be exchanged for money. Even if the Beiyu is now outside the capital division, the city is still hiring warriors to kill thieves and exchanging heads for rewards, but they do not support the fact that the troops go out of the city to fight on a large scale.

The princes in the court all knew very well in their hearts that although the Northern Captives came with great momentum, there was actually nothing they could do about the Jingshi. As long as everyone hides in the city, it will definitely be safe, and when the border army arrives, it will be the thieves who run away. No matter how many civilians are killed, or how many belongings are plundered, you will always defeat the enemy and you will win. It's because no one really cares about the results, but they all care, and who should take the final credit.

How the military department, the cabinet, and even the household department responsible for coordinating money and food are far more important than discussing the war situation. The Beijing camp system has made great contributions in the process of arresting Jiang Bin, and those gentlemen have also smashed the yamen of the military department, which has already shown signs of arrogance and arrogance, and these civil officials have reached a consensus in private: The credit for defending the Beijing division this time will not be distributed to the nobles.

In the few scattered battles outside the city, the reported results were all defeats, including more than 2,000 troops against 500 captives, and in the end only three people were beheaded, and he lost more than 100 of his own. Such war reports have been piled up in the cabinet, and everyone is trying to publicize one thing, the Beijing camp is unusable, and the selection of the squad army is also unbearable, and it is we loyal ministers who really protect the safety of the Beijing division, not Qiu Ba.

Anyway, the emperor can't go to the battlefield in person to check the corpses, and the victory or defeat depends on the twists and turns. But last night, the private soldiers in the hands of these nobles went outside to fight a battle, and they actually won. You must know that when these horses returned to the city, many of them had heads in their hands, and this can't be faked, no matter how much they are pressed, they can't be suppressed.

I heard that he first killed a group of spy annexes who acted as guides for the Mongols, and then they really became Tartars, and finally even fought with a Mongol team of 1,000 people, and they didn't suffer any losses. Such a feat, in the context of Mongolia's breakthrough of Gubeikou and its long drive all the way to Beijing, can be called a miracle of great books.

But the problem is that there is no problem with such a great feat, and it is made by those noble private soldiers, so there is a big problem. What's more, these people are so good that they can't die, and they also saved that Yang Chengzu, this kind of military exploit naturally does not allow him to be rewarded, and the meritorious person can be killed but not kept.

The siege of the city is both a crisis and an opportunity, and many people want to use this Mongol army to realize their wishes. For example, negotiate with the emperor and settle the matter of those accounts and letters.

Or, let their family get more benefits from this siege, in fact, as soon as the Mongols besieged the city, some people began to hoard rice, firewood, charcoal, and even medicinal herbs, cloth, silk and so on on on a large scale through power and connections. They are all waiting for the shortage of materials in the capital to make a lot of money, but if they continue to fight according to this trend, how can their business be carried out?

In the court, there are many people who are their own sources, and they have vaguely obtained some information, and King Qin of the border army will not come as quickly as imagined. In a few days, there will be a food shortage in Beijing, and many people want to make a fortune, or use this opportunity to collect land, or get some other subsidies.

As for borrowing the hands of the Mongols to get rid of that Yang Chengzu, it is even more impossible to declare the benefits, and many people are looking forward to his early death so that they can live in peace in their hearts.

In short, all these bright prospects have been wiped out by the inexplicable battle, and I don't know how many people are eager to eat the flesh and skin of those who went out of the city last night. In the matter of these two imperial historians, they can only be regarded as the first to explore the way, and the real big head is still behind.

They didn't expect these three little people to really be able to cut off Wudinghou, but as long as their recital was handed over, there would be others to help them later. When a person at the level of a squire speaks, the Marquis of Wuding and other nobles will also know the severity and lose their pawns to protect the car.

But this time, the Son of Heaven did not leave the fold and go back to the palace to see it, but made an exception and ordered the eunuch to read it on the spot. ”

Several Han generals rushed down to the palace, pressed the three officials to the ground, and dragged them out horizontally and vertically. Hurriedly saluted, "Long live, the official can hear the words, this is the ancestral custom ......"

"Yes, they do have a good reputation. However, at the time when the imperial court is using force, it is not allowed for such people to come out to spread rumors and confuse the public, chilling the hearts of meritorious soldiers. Last night, I sent troops with a secret order, how did I go out without permission? The Marquis of Wuding has made great contributions to the imperial court, rewarding one hundred taels of platinum and two pairs of jade as a reward, and these three people, after each cane forty, will be relegated to the border as the county order, so that they can also know the suffering of the people. ”

The executions of the Han generals were all stout men with long bodies and big faces, holding the wooden staff in their hands, with a hideous look on their faces, "What a big courage, even the people who saved our chief dare to participate, a few, bear it slowly." ”

Zhang Zuo, the eunuch who originally served in front of the throne, trotted all the way to the place of execution, with his toes facing inward, in the shape of an inner figure, tearing open his throat and shouting, "Fight with your heart!" ”
