Chapter 533: Chongzhen's Hatred
Zhao Lie stood at the head of the city and ignored the tens of thousands of Jiannu armor soldiers, and he mainly observed the rear formation of Jiannu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Lie was in the north of Jiannu's rear formation, and saw a large number of war horses covering the plain, which were all spare war horses for the Jiannu army.
Looking at the large number of war horses there, Zhao Lie couldn't help but be quite greedy, the Broken Army is now a general who has enough horses, and the horses are very insufficient, which means that the whole army of the Broken Army still can't travel long distances. And many of the bought war horses are average, but here there are tens of thousands of war horses hanging out behind.
At this moment, the menacing Jiannu army under the city suddenly withdrew, and they turned their horses and headed north, raising a large cloud of smoke and dust, covering the fields to the north, leaving the Korean monarchs and ministers in confusion.
Zhao Lie was not at all surprised by Jiannu's retreat, Jiannu would definitely not use his precious cavalry armor to spend on siege.
"Lord Zhao, did you see that my Hanyang was united and could not conquer and retreat this time." Jin Liu, the leader of the council, rushed over to ask Zhao Lie, in fact, this was what Li Liang meant, he really hoped that Jiannu would retreat immediately.
"No, Jiannu will try to attack the city, but it will drive the Korean people to be the forerunner, and they will not let the soldiers lose in vain." Zhao Lie raised his eyebrows at Jin Liu, he felt that Jin Liu's question was simply too naΓ―ve.
Could it be that the DPRK leaders and politicians think that the Jiannu army is here because it is impossible to go on a holiday outing, and the Jiannu army must reap the benefits as soon as it comes out?
"Well, you can't, the people are defenseless. What use can they do when they go to the city? "For the Hulu to plunder the people. Jin Liuxin. But driving the people to attack the city is not something he can imagine.
"You'll see it in a few days, I told you to wait and evacuate the people, how did you do it."
Zhao Lie asked, he was mainly busy with the affairs inside the city, and the affairs outside the city were handed over to the Korean monarchs and ministers, which was what they should and could do. At the very least, a lot of grain has been collected, which is enough for the people in the city for half a year.
"This," Jin Liu's stumbling stumble, "my king thinks that it is unkind to drive the people out of place in winter, and it is very likely to freeze to death and starve to death, so he γγγγγ β
"Oh, I see, then look at the mercy of the king of Joseon. I will find out in a few days. β
Zhao Lie smiled sarcastically, Zhen Nima's hypocritical benevolence. Then we will see how many North Korean lives have been ruined.
"Your Majesty, our army's food and grass are less than five days. Zhao Lie's department is also in Hanyang City, this city is not easy to attack. β
Dolgon urged the horse to walk parallel to the emperor's Taiji.
"Send people to collect grain and grass, and then capture as many Koreans as possible, preferably tens of thousands, without tens of thousands of people who cannot attack Hanyang City."
Huang Taiji looked back at Hanyang Road, which was standing there.
Dolgon Dozer took the order and departed.
"Even tens of thousands of rabble, I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat the city guarded by Zhao Lie." Hauge is very unoptimistic.
"The widow didn't have any hope of breaking through the defense of Zhao Lie's army, but this Hanyang City is so big, there is still a place for Korean soldiers to guard."
This is Huang Taiji's plan, he knows what Zhao Lie's subordinates are, and there is no city gate to attack them.
But in Hanyang City, which is more than ten miles around, there will definitely be some places guarded by Korean soldiers, and that is where Huang Taiji seeks to break the city.
Huang Taiji said it so clearly, of course Haoge understands, this is also the only feasible way to attack the city, just to see if the Koreans can withstand it, if the Koreans can't withstand it, in the city wall they guard, then the captivity army is helpless.
Just when Hanyang, the capital of North Korea, a subject of the Ming Dynasty, was besieged, the Ming Jingshi was still busy in the evening of the night, Emperor Chongzhen was still busy behind the dragon case in the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen's body is now more and more clear, and the successive disasters of the past two years have put him under heavy pressure, leaving more traces on his face.
Now Chongzhen has become more irritable, and he used to be extremely harsh on the generals, but now he treats the civil and military equally, but if he is derelict in his duties, he will be punished immediately.
The second entry of Jiannu, the continuation of the drought in Shanxi, and the raging bandits made Chongzhen and the cabinet embarrassed, and he was tearing down the East River to make up the west wall all day long.
The constant turmoil made him deeply feel the sluggishness, numbness, and incompetence of the officials, and even dared to deceive him, the emperor, which was simply nothing they did not dare to do.
Out of complete disappointment with the civil and military officials everywhere, he had no choice but to send his ministers to garrison various places and become eunuchs supervising the army, and eunuchs were stationed in Liaodong, Denglai, Jizhen, Xuanfu, Shanxi, Ningxia and other places.
This also made Wenchen extremely dissatisfied, and the disciples of Donglin were noisy, but Chongzhen ignored it completely, and he was now extremely disappointed in the literati who could not lead the army and could not govern the country.
Even he felt that these literati would only form gangs and factions for their interests, jointly confront the emperor and eradicate political enemies, which was not only not beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, but a cancer on the Ming Dynasty.
But it is really impossible to leave these civil servants, after all, the style of the previous dynasties is such that the scholars and the Son of Heaven rule the world together, so the only way to do this is to send the town guard and the prison army.
At this time, Chongzhen was looking at the excerpts of the great drought in Shanxi and Henan, which spread all over the two places, displaced people, and even the cannibalism of Yizi.
The imperial court squeezed out tens of thousands of taels of silver from between their teeth to send people to relief, and also reduced a lot of local taxes, but two such vast lands and many people, tens of thousands of taels of silver, hehe, it is a drop in the bucket.
It is surprising and suspicious, is it possible, the Ming Dynasty gave tens of thousands of taels of silver to the regions of the two provinces, but this is the truth, the Ming treasury is already empty, just struggling to support.
Now the governor of Shanxi has truthfully told the tragic situation of cannibalism in the counties in southern Shanxi, and the last one is one, asking for money and food, which is simply a blood begging.
Chongzhen is not the hot-blooded young man he was back then, but he is also depressed and his face is distorted.
Wang Chengen beside him, even if he was a favorite minister around him, didn't dare to say much at this time, so he could only stand silently on the side.
At this time, the sound of footsteps outside came, and a little eunuch entered the interior to report, and the first assistant Wen Tiren asked to see him.
Wang Chengen frowned, he muttered in his heart that it was probably not a good thing, after all, it was so late, and it was conceivable that it was a matter of urgency for Shoufu to come to meet the saint.
Wen Tiren quickly entered the main hall, knelt down in front of the desk to salute, and Chongzhen asked him to sit down.
Sure enough, what Wen Tiren said was amazing news.
"What, Zhao Lie has led the troops to North Korea, this, is this news true?" Chongzhen was extremely surprised, how could there be so many bad things.
"Your Majesty, this is the excerpt sent by Chen Yingyuan, the governor of Denglai, and said that a month ago, Jiannu entered Korea in a big way, the purpose was to force North Korea to surrender, because Jiannu arrived in Pyongyang, North Korea on the last ten days, so Zhao Lie decided to immediately lead the army to North Korea to rescue, otherwise. . . οΌβ
Wen Tiren peeked at Chongzhen, and he was also drumming in his heart,
"Otherwise, I am afraid that North Korea will surrender Jiannu, and the eastern part of Denglai will become Jiannu's help."
Wen Tiren handed Chen Yingyuan's fold over as he spoke, and Wang Chengen immediately presented it to Chongzhen after taking it.
Chongzhen couldn't wait to pick up the fold and look at it carefully.
Chongzhen was furious after reading it, and with a bang, he struck the table, "How dare he, Zhao Lie, dare to move troops without authorization, is there still a court in his eyes, and is there still a monarch like me." β
Chongzhen's anger accumulated throughout the day finally erupted.
Wen Tiren and Wang Chengen were as silent as cicadas, and neither dared to answer.
North Korea is in danger, it should indeed be rescued, the last Ding Mao chaos, the Ming Dynasty sent reinforcements, although it was not much, and it did not play a key role, but after all, it was sent to help.
After all, North Korea is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, if even the subject countries around him fall to Jiannu, the Ming Dynasty will lose face, and the North Korean Navy Division still has some combat power, which was nothing in the past, but now the threat to the Ming Dynasty's broken Liaodong, Tianjin, and Denglai Navy is relatively great, so it is still necessary to support North Korea to resist slaves and prevent North Korea from defecting.
However, the general generals of the general army in various places must get the approval of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and only when the will of the imperial court arrives can the troops be raised, otherwise it is an unauthorized transfer of troops, and there is a suspicion of rebellion, which is a great crime, and the lightest punishment is to go to prison and wait for investigation, and the heavier is to be convicted of raiding the house.
Zhao Lie did not wait for the Son of Heaven to arrive before he went to war, opening a dangerous example, if the generals of the army in various places followed suit, wouldn't the world of the Ming Dynasty be in chaos, especially now that the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil.
"On that day, the widow looked at this Zhao Lie's extreme domineering, raising private soldiers to intimidate the guest army, ignoring the officials, and today I still underestimated him, will I still be able to do disobedient things in the future."
Chongzhen's face flushed, and his chest rose and fell, showing anger.
"Elder Wen Ge, I don't think I can send a large army to Denglai to attack Zhao Lie, this fang is not in Denglai at this time, and our army can take advantage of the weakness to enter."
Chongzhen looked at Wen Tiren hopefully.
Wen Tiren said bitterly, long live the lord, you don't look at the current situation in the imperial court, the drought in the two provinces is the relief of tens of thousands of taels of silver, do you say that you can still form a crusade army.
Wen Tiren was persuaded by his bitter words, and Wang Chengen was also on the side to help calm Chongzhen down.
There is no way, Wen Tiren's sentence is reasonable, the civil unrest and Jiannu have exhausted the financial resources of the imperial court, if the army crusades against Zhao Lie, it is not impossible, the mountains and seas in the northeast cannot be separated lightly, then it is necessary to draw troops from the Central Plains to encircle and suppress a crusade army of anti-thieves, so the anti-thieves who have just been injured by the Chuzhou War will have a chance to breathe.
Chongzhen had no choice but to press the mind of the immediate crusade, and could only slowly figure it out.
After Wen Tiren left, Chongzhen thought about it and still couldn't rest assured, since he couldn't fight with the army, then he had to find another way.
Chongzhen immediately sent someone to recruit the commander of the Jinyi guard to make Luo Yangxing come to see him. (To be continued.) )
