The information sent by the messenger frightened Yang He and the others, but this letter was not over yet, and soon, the official road was fast and ...... After a while, the emergency military situation turned out to be one after another, and each letter was urging Yang He to send troops to King Qinjing as soon as possible.

It turned out that the situation in the capital was already very tight.

In November of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji personally supervised the army to attack Longjing Pass, and conquered the Hongshan Pass with the Mongolian Khalqintai Jibul Katu as a guide. Don't conquer Da'ankou, you will be in Zunhua. On the fourth day of the first month, Zhao Zuojiao, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, led the teaching to come to the rescue, and Yu Zunhua died in battle, and the whole army was annihilated. Governor Wang Yuanya, Baoding magistrate Li Xianming, Yongping magistrate He Tianqiu, Zunhua Zhi * County Xu Ze, former Zhi * County Wu Qiqian, etc., refused to defend the city, and the city was broken and died.

In November of the second year of Chongzhen, the soldiers of Jiannu were about to arrive in the capital, and the camp was in the east of the Tucheng Pass in the north of the city. On the sixth day of the first month, the governor of Datong was the chief military officer Man Gui who came to the aid and went to the Desheng Gate with 5,000 soldiers. When Mangui fought with the enemy, the city opened artillery to help, accidentally wounding Mangui's army, and Mangui was also wounded. After Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, the political axe set up a special civil and military strategy, with Shangshu Liang Tingdong and Man Gui Renzhi, stationed troops in Xizhi and Anding. The imperial court urged Man Gui to send troops, and Man Gui said that "the crowd is outnumbered and powerful, and it is not possible to fight lightly". However, the imperial court urged many times, and had no choice but to supervise the army to move to two miles outside the Yongding Gate, and wait for the enemy army.

In December of the second year of Chongzhen, Shen Fu put the chariot battalion at the Lugou Bridge to resist the enemy, and the Jiannu soldiers went around the back of the chariot to attack, and the chariot people were panicked, the chariot did not rotate, and Shen Fu was defeated, and Shen Fu was killed.

In December of the second year of Chongzhen, the governor of Xuanda and the governors of Xuanfu, Baoding, Henan, Shandong, and Shanxi, heard that the capital was under martial law, and they all invited the army to enter the king of Beijing. Shanxi Governor Geng Ruqi and General Zhang Honggong also led 5,000 people to help. These reinforcements came from afar, and they were already very tired, but they were constantly ordered to play tricks by the above, and now they were ordered to guard Tongzhou, and they were transferred to Changping in the future, and then they were transferred to Liangxiang. The garrison was tired, and the army was not paid, and the army mutinied. After the incident, Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong were arrested and imprisoned. The rest of the army that entered King Qinjing looked at it and had no military salary? That's okay, divide the troops into the wilderness, rob the good people, and make the vicinity of the capital a lot of erosion.

The country is shaking! Demons Dance!

Yang He was simply urged by the twelve gold medals to send troops to the king of Qin, 100,000 urgent, he glanced at the 18,000 officers and soldiers standing in a mess on the colonel's field, layer upon layer, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Finally, more than a dozen troops have been arranged to exterminate the Liukou, and this has already drawn all the nearby guards...... I have to enter the king of Jingqin again, where can I find soldiers? ”

Governor Liu Guangsheng hurriedly said, "Your Excellency the Governor, let's ...... The capital should be the most important...... It doesn't matter if the rogue makes a fuss, but if the capital is lost...... This ......"

"And what do you mean?"

"Directly transfer 10,000 troops from the army of bandits, let them enter the king of Qin, and we will only leave 8,000 people to suppress the bandits."

"Eight thousand? Is it enough? Yang He raised the long list of rogues in his hand: "So many rogues...... You count, it's at least thirty or forty shares...... How to suppress 8,000 troops? ”

"Even if you don't suppress the bandits, you can't let something happen to the capital, and you can't let the emperor have an accident!" Liu Guangsheng said.

"Alas...... You have a point, too. Yang He thought hard for a long time, so he had to wave his hand helplessly and said, "Generals...... All of the arrangements we made just now have been abolished, and now I'm going to rearrange them for you......"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Chongzhen three years, the first month!

Just after the Spring Festival, the cottage is still filled with a sense of joy, many caves have pasted new Spring Festival couplets in front of them, and the hillside is covered with red and hung colors everywhere, a happy scene.

Zhu Yuanzhang took Autumn Leaves and Zhang Yingxian to visit the villagers door to door, life in the cottage has been much better than when he first came, at that time everyone lacked food and clothing, no daily necessities, no salt and iron, and finally supported it, but now the cottage has become very rich, there are things that should be there, and even there should be something...... For example, a giant divine arm ballista is erected in front of the mountain gate.

This year's Spring Fu Zhu Ba has already received it in advance, and the rich families of Baishui are very happy to give it and don't say half a word of nonsense. Someone even sent a few red envelopes to King Zhu Ba, which is considered the meaning of the New Year. The cottage even sent a small team of people to be stationed in Baishui all year round, on the one hand, to communicate with the outside world, and on the other hand, to inquire about news by the way.

Of course, this team of people all lived in Xu Renjie's house, disguised as Xiang Yong. With the help of the power of the Xu family, Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer blind to the world outside the mountain, and many things in Xi'an Mansion can also be inquired about through the men of the rice shop.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang heard about what happened in the capital, but he didn't make a fuss like others, because he knew very well that this Jiannu invasion would not please him, and he would eventually be repulsed. It was not until the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Battle of Shanhaiguan, that Jiannu really entered the Central Plains, and there were still fourteen years to go, so there was no need to panic.

Xu Renjie, who is known as the "Generalissimo", took 600 people to Chengcheng a few days ago, imitating Zhu Yuanzhang's method of collecting taxes in Baishui, and collected the rich families in Chengcheng. He thought that he would meet resistance, and he could fight and play, but he didn't expect the rich families in Chengcheng to pay the money obediently, without a trace of resistance, it turned out that Baishui and Chengcheng were close, and the rich people over there already knew what happened in Baishui, rather than finding themselves unhappy, they might as well obediently clamp their tails and obey, so that they could live well.

There was no battle to fight, and the extremely lost Xu Renjie sulked when he returned to the cottage, smashed two porcelain bottles, and made several poor families living in the cave next to him feel distressed and bloody...... The porcelain vase...... If you want to smash it next time, you might as well send it to me!

When Zhu Yuanzhang came to pay New Year's greetings to Xu Renjie, he happened to see Xu Renjie sitting sullenly in the cave, his nostrils puffing and panting: "Damn, the squires in Chengcheng are too unambitious, as soon as I arrived outside their house, I haven't said anything, why did they obediently open the door and come out to pay taxes?" I don't have to fight if I want to...... I've only recently learned a new command technique...... Tsk......"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh when he heard it: "Xu Renjie...... What are you making a fuss about? ”

"Yo, Bugling Zhu? Why did you come to me? Xu Renjie hurriedly jumped out to greet him.

"No, it's a New Year's greeting to you......" Zhu Yuanzhang waved to the two women following behind, and Qiu Ye and Zhang Yingxian shouted together: "Happy New Year, uncle."

"The two sisters-in-law are so polite!" Xu Renjie hurriedly returned the salute.

The two casually said a few auspicious words, and Zhu Yuanzhang said goodbye, planning to go to the next one.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw a member of the Xu family, running over from a long distance: "Master, Brother Zhu...... The Mi Xing from Xi'an Prefecture sent a letter about the transfer of officers and soldiers. ”

"Yo?" Xu Renjie suddenly came to his senses, took the letter, unfolded it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the two of them turned their heads together to look at it.

Looking at this, the two shook their heads together, what the letter said was the transfer of troops by Yang He and others in the colonel, a few days ago, the 18,000 troops gathered in Xi'an, 10,000 people had already gone to the capital Qinwang, and the 8,000 people left behind were divided into several roads to suppress bandits!

Due to the fact that more than half of the troops were reduced, there were many small groups of rogues who were originally scheduled to be exterminated, but they had no choice but to give up, and the officers and men concentrated the focus of the attack on the "giants" such as Wang Jiayin, Dian Dengzi, Cao Ying, and Wang Zuohang. The tight 8,000 people were divided into five or six small units to deal with these "giants"!

"Look here......" Xu Renjie pointed to a few lines on the letter and said with a smile: "General soldier Du Wenhuan, leading a thousand officers and soldiers, went to Luochuan* County, the goal is to hang the ...... on the left of the Liukou King"

After Xu Renjie finished reading, he laughed: "Wang Zuo was beaten by Zhu Bugs in Baishui, and now he actually went to Luochuan in history, he is really non-stop." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Stupid Wang Zuohang, don't bring so many subordinates if his strength is not good, if his subordinates are less, the government will let him go if the army is not strong enough this time, but he wants to be involved in eight thousand thieves, and he will be pursued by the government as a giant, and he will be miserable now." ”

"The courage of the government is not small." Xu Renjie snorted: "A thousand officers and soldiers dare to pursue Wang Zuohang 8,000 people......"

"You have seen the 8,000 people hanging on the left side of the king, and you know what kind of goods they are." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Du Wenhuan is a regular military general of the imperial court, with a thousand elite soldiers, it is really a piece of cake to defeat Wang Zuohang's 8,000 rabble, and it will not take much more effort than me to defeat Wang Zuohang." ”

"That'...... Brother Zhu, you have always anticipated things like a god, and if you come again, how will Wang Zuojiao be defeated this time? What formations and strategies will the officers and soldiers use? Xu Renjie deliberately came up with a difficult problem to test him.

"No...... I can't fight this time! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and shook his head: "If it was Wang Zuohang before me, maybe he would fight Du Wenhuan, fight a battle, and then flee into the mountains in defeat." But after he fought with me, he should have deeply realized his own level, and when the officers and soldiers came to the door, he didn't dare to fight at all......"

"This guy...... will definitely cry and shout before the start of the fight, and run to Du Wenhuan to surrender, declaring that he wants to be a good citizen again......" Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the smile on his face suddenly closed and sank to the bottom: "It's not good......

"Huh? What's wrong? What's up? What's wrong with Wang Zuohang's surrender? It has nothing to do with us! Xu Renjie said.

"When I say not good, I mean Miao Mei!" Zhu Yuanzhang turned his face and hurriedly walked towards the top of the mountain, explaining to Xu Renjie as he walked: "Wang Zuojiao will surrender, but Miao Mei will definitely not surrender, he is a good man, and he should refuse to surrender to the officers and soldiers with Wang Zuohang, that is to say...... He would leave the king's army with some of his brothers...... In this way, Miao Meike is in danger. ”

"Huh?" Xu Renjie listened to it.

"Go, call Wang Er and Ma Xiaotian to come over, the whole army, I want to go to Luochuan to pick up Miao Mei!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "I said that he is a person worthy of benevolence and righteousness, and now is the time for me to fulfill my promise." ”
