The capital has been under martial law for more than a month, but the situation is still dangerous.

Compared with the situation of Chongzhen's three years and nine years, this time is not the worst, but it is the most heartwarming one, two years ago, the Emperor Taiji of Houjin also bowed to the Ming court, and the two sides signed an agreement, although the Emperor Taiji did not remove the emperor's name, and still advertised as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but it was also the first time to show a weak situation.

Who knew that just two years later, Beizhili was once again plundered by the Houjin Tartars.

The 30,000 troops under the command of Miyunwei Yingzhou Wei and Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, were all wiped out by the Houjin Tatars, and there were more than 50,000 troops.

Although Jinyiwei sent a lot of people out of the capital to reconnoitre, to explore every action of Houjin Tartar, but the information obtained was almost none, everyone knew that at such a dangerous moment, Jinyiwei could not get close to Houjin Tartar to investigate, their so-called spy intelligence, just for show.

By this time, the capital had also become an isolated island, and I didn't know the news from the outside world for a long time.

After the Qianqing Palace specially summoned Qin Liangyu, Zhu Youzhen's mood was finally better, I believe that the white pole soldiers led by Qin Liangyu will definitely be able to solve the crisis in Yanqing City, in fact, Zhu Youzhen's heart is still hopeful, Hong Chengchou led more than 100,000 troops, besieged in Yanqing City, once the army along the way is killed, it can still pose a threat to the Houjin Tartars, I am afraid that it is precisely because of this glimmer of hope that Zhu Youzhen does not want to recruit the Zheng family army into Beijing to fight.

Houjin Tartar is a huge threat, and Liukou is also a threat, but all the threats in Zhu Youzhen are not as huge as the internal threats, and Zheng Jiajun is so brave. But it has always been under the direct control of Zheng Xunrui, looking back on the past days, Zheng Jiajun has been transferred many times, and he has not complied with the holy decree and the imperial edict at all. Isn't the Great Tomorrow in great danger?

If it weren't for the sudden entry and looting of the Houjin Tartars, maybe the imperial court would have already started to deal with Zheng Xunrui.

After the early dynasty. Zhu Youzhen reviewed and approved the folds in the Qianqing Palace, and there were still a lot of twists and turns sent to the capital from all over the country, and what bothered Zhu Youzhen the most was the folds in Henan, Huguangshan, Shanxi, and Sichuan, all of which were talking about the wanton plundering of the Liukou, and at this time, the capital was still in danger, so how could he consider the matter of exterminating the Liukou.

Zhang Zhifa, Gao Qiqian and others entered the Qianqing Palace with pale faces.

Zhu Youzhen found that their expressions were wrong, and he also chuckled in his heart.

"Report to the emperor, the minister has bad news......"

Zhifa is a little slurred. Zhu Youzhen didn't know why, and a nameless fire came up.

"If there is something to say, it must have happened, and nothing will change it."

Zhang Zhifa wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his eyes were also pale, and he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Just now, the captain of General Qin Liangyu's personal army returned to the capital, and reported that the white pole soldiers were ambushed by the Houjin Tartars. General Qin Liangyu's life and death are unknown......"

Zhu Youzhen's brain buzzed, and he didn't know what Zhang Zhifa said later.

Zhang Fengyi, the second assistant of the cabinet, led the rest of the cabinet ministers and also entered the Qianqing Palace.

Wang Chengen, who was standing behind Zhu Youjian, raised his eyes, Zhang Zhifa and the others. A chill shot out.

There was a deathly silence around, and even the sound of a heartbeat could be heard, and more than 10,000 white pole soldiers led by Qin Liangyu set off from the capital the day before yesterday, and they were originally going to solve the crisis in Yanqing Prefecture, but they were actually ambushed by Houjin Tartar, as for the situation behind. Then there is no need to say more.

"Where is Madam Qin's personal soldier captain, I want to ask about the situation in person."

"Your Majesty, the captain of the pro-soldier is too injured and has ......"

Zhu Youzhen's face became pale, and he spoke weakly.

"In such a situation, you say, what should I do, there are still more than 100,000 troops in Yanqing City, if they are broken by the Houjin Tartars, and more than 100,000 troops are wiped out by the Houjin Tartars, did I give up the capital to the Houjin Tartars, Zhang Fengyi, Yang Sichang, didn't the Ministry of War send an edict to the Zheng Jiajun, didn't the Zheng Jiajun have the slightest movement, the capital is in danger, and they have all become shrinking turtles, are you all waiting for jokes......"

Zhu Youzhen's words became mean.

By this time, no one dared to speak.

Zhang Fengyi and Yang Sichang are also a stomach of grievances, the emperor can issue an order to send white pole soldiers into Beijing, but he is unwilling to issue an order to recruit Zheng Jiajun into Beijing, this military edict and the emperor's holy decree, there is too much difference, but at this moment although they have grievances, they dare not speak.

After a few moments, a high-pitched voice appeared.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that the dispatch of the Shanhaiguan garrison will definitely be able to resist the Houjin Tartars."

The voice was abrupt, and the suggestion was even more surprising.

Everyone knows that the garrison of Shanhaiguan can not be easily mobilized, the Guanning Jin defense line is an unbreakable Great Wall to resist the Houjin Tartars, once there is a problem, Beizhili will be directly under the war horses of the Houjin Tartars, although it is said that the Houjin Tartars have entered the customs several times and plundered, but because the Guanning Jin defense line is unbreakable, they eventually withdrew their troops back to Shenyang.

Zhu Youzhen raised his head and dived.

The eyes of the rest of the people were all focused on Gao Qiqian's body.

There are still 70,000 troops under Gao Qiqian's command, saying that they are guarding the capital, but in fact, they are hiding in the capital, unwilling to fight face-to-face with Houjin Tartar, but after the incident of Jin Tartar after the collective surrender of Miyunwei and Yingzhou Wei sergeants, no one asked Gao Qiqian to lead the army to reinforcements.

Zhu Youzhen dived for a while before speaking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tell me whether I have recruited the garrison of Shanhaiguan to defend against the Houjin Tartars."

The emperor's emotions calmed down, and everyone dared to speak.

The first person to speak was Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the Minister of War, who fought and conscripted the army, which should be something that the Ministry of War considered.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the garrison of Shanhaiguan should not be mobilized for the time being."

Zhu Youzhen snorted and didn't speak, falling into a situation where he was not particularly satisfied with Yang Sichang's answer.

Yang Sichang's body trembled slightly, and he continued to speak.

"Your Majesty, the ministers thought that the Houjin Tartars had entered the customs and plundered, and the army of the imperial court had repeatedly suffered defeats, which led to a crisis in the capital, and the imperial court was ......worried."

"Yang Aiqing, don't talk about other things, just say why you can't dispatch the Shanhaiguan garrison, just say that there is any way to resist the Houjin Tartars and resolve the current crisis."

"The minister thought that the 150,000 troops of the Houjin Tartars entered the pass and plundered, and its grain and grass were unsustainable, and the more than 100,000 troops led by the governor of Jiliao, Hong Chengchou, were stationed in Yanqing City, although they were besieged by the Houjin Tartars, but they also involved most of the troops of the Houjin Tartars, as long as the Hong adults could compete with the Houjin Tartars, the ministers thought that the Houjin Tartars could not hold on for a long time."

The reason Yang Sichang said has a certain amount of truth.

It's a pity that the suggestions and reasons put forward by Yang Sichang have long been invalidated, and the Houjin Tartars have already divided their troops, and the army led by Du Du and Tulai is sweeping through Baoding Prefecture, Hejian Mansion and other places, but the capital does not know these news.

After saying this reason, the people around Yang Sichang once again mustered up the courage to speak.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that you can send an envoy to Shenyang to negotiate with Huang Taiji."

The crowd that was still whispering just now instantly fell silent.

The so-called negotiation with Huang Taiji is actually the meaning of peace, and everyone understands it.

Negotiation of peace is a way to deal with the current crisis, but the danger of negotiation is also huge, first, I don't know what kind of requirements Huang Taiji will make, and second, the imperial court cannot face the world's scholars.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Fengyi spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that under the current situation, the matter of peace can not be put forward for the time being, the crisis in the capital has not been lifted, in this case send an envoy to Shenyang, I don't know what Huang Taiji will ask, Liaodong is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, occupied by the Houjin Tartars, Huang Taiji called the emperor and established the so-called Great Qing State, this is a matter that the imperial court can not tolerate, this time to send a messenger, if the Huang Taiji asks my Ming court to recognize the existence of the Qing Dynasty, it will become a shame that my Ming court is difficult to wash away......"

There are many reasons for opposing peace, and they can't be said for a few days and nights, but Zhang Fengyi grasped the most important point, Huang Taiji is eyeing the tiger, the purpose is to invade the Central Plains, the Ming court has been fighting with the Houjin Tartars for many years, and has never thought of recognizing the existence of the Great Qing State and the status of the Huang Taiji.

After Zhang Fengyi said this reason, Zhu Youzhen's face changed.

"Zhang Aiqing doesn't need to say much, I will never agree to the matter of peace."

Strictly speaking, both roads will not work, and the mobilization of the garrison at Shanhaiguan is equivalent to drinking water to quench thirst, and there is a huge danger in negotiating peace.

The silent crowd, Zhu Youzhen suddenly had a feeling of death, such a feeling also appeared at the end of the second year of Chongzhen, at that time he canonized the crown prince, and even had the intention of giving up the throne.

"Let's go and discuss it first, I'll wait for your decision."

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, stood up, and walked towards the harem. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for the recommendation ticket, your support is my biggest motivation. )
