Chapter 402: Good news

At noon on this day, the confused Emperor Chongzhen finally decided to take a look at the music, so he turned back to the imperial study from the sacrifice site of Jingsilou.

When he came to the imperial study, looking at the mountains of folds on the imperial case, Emperor Chongzhen's brows also wrinkled deeply.

Previously, the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the ceremonial superintendent, had already classified the folds according to the convention, and Emperor Chongzhen habitually picked up the handful of "Annunciation" folds and read them one by one.

Some time ago, Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, in line with the principle of "reporting good news but not bad news", "reported good news" many times more than usual. However, since the Tartars entered the Kou, especially after the Tartars entered the city of Beijing, Lord Wen also stopped, and millions of people at the feet of the Son of Heaven stared, and after all, they could no longer talk nonsense......

Therefore, there are very few "good news" twists and turns, but there are many "bad news" folds, but Chongzhen doesn't want to see the mountain of "bad news" twists and turns now.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, picked up a book and read it. Seeing only half of it, Chongzhen closed the fold and threw it aside.

The recital was sent by Zuo Liangyu, the chief military officer of Henan, who said that he was going to lead the army to Qinwang, but found that there were hundreds of thousands of thieves in Henan who went north, and he was afraid that he and the Tartars would form a north-south attack on the Beijing division, so he intercepted in Wu'an and other places, killing countless enemies......

"Myriad—" Chongzhen scolded hatefully, his brows furrowed.

Obviously, this Zuo Liangyu was either afraid that the Tartars would not dare to come to King Qin, or he would delay King Qin's trip, so he made up a reason to get vaccinated in advance.

"Phew! - "Chongzhen was unusual, and even spit on the ground regardless of the majesty of the Son of Heaven. I picked up another notebook.

Who would have thought that just after opening the fold, Emperor Chongzhen's pupils suddenly dilated. The whole person began to tremble. He couldn't wait to look behind him, the more he saw behind him. His body shook even more.

"Cheng Eun! Hurry, come! ”

Wang Chengen, who was waiting on the side, immediately walked over quickly, took the fold handed over by Chongzhen and took a look, it turned out to be the twist and turn of the tension report to recover Jinzhouwei in southern Liaoning.

Wang Chengen had seen it before, but he, like the cabinet ministers, was skeptical. However, when it came to military affairs, he didn't dare to slack off, so he had to submit the fold to the imperial case as it was.

Since the Battle of Salhu in Wanli year, the Ming Dynasty has been defeated and retreated. There are only civil ministers and military generals who have lost their land, and there is no one who can recover the land!

Zhang Zhang said that he had recaptured Jinzhouwei from the Tartars, which was simply too incredible.

However, the Zhang Li's Tuanshan Army has the records of the Battle of Shijingshan and the Tongzhou Defensive Battle, which seems to make people look forward to it, is Jinzhouwei really returning to the Ming Dynasty?

However, Zhang Lijuan compromised and said that it was more than a month ago, why did he report it now? What kind of routine is this playing?

Could it be that Zhang Li was afraid that someone would intercept the merits of the war, so he only played after playing the prestige. Don't people dare to grab credit?

There were too many questions, so that Wang Chengen, including Wen Tiren, who had seen the folds in advance, were silent and did not dare to express their opinions.

"Haha! Zhang Zhang actually recovered Jinzhouwei! Emperor Chongzhen's face suddenly turned bloody, and he took the fold and read it again from beginning to end. In the end, he even danced with joy.

Wang Chengen still didn't dare to speak, as an old eunuch who had been up and down in the palace for decades. He has never expressed an opinion on things that he cannot see. Is tension a false report of war exploits or is everything true. For him, there is no such thing as half of Yongle Tongbao - but if he now echoes the tension or refutes the tension. is unstable, only let the Son of Heaven "Sacred Heart Arbitrary" is the safest way to deal with it.

Chongzhen was excited for a while, and his expression darkened. After all, the current Dingling of Wanshou Mountain in Changping is the place he is most concerned about, although Zhang Zhang has recovered Jinzhouwei, but his Tuanshan army has been standing still in Tongzhou City, which makes Chongzhen feel a little unhappy.

Is it merit or demerit? Chongzhen soon had an idea, now the Tuanshan Army is an important military force that cannot be ignored, and that tension is no longer the person who came and went as soon as he was called before.

Emperor Chongzhen's military ministers with heavy troops are far less likely to kill them as much as they want to kill civilian officials, after all, the state affairs are so corrupted, if you really persecute the military ministers too much, you will lose a lot if you vote for Jiannu......

Therefore, at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen began to think about his lame "imperial technique" again, and for tension, he had to think of a way to let him go to Changping as soon as possible to fight Jiannu!

……

Because Zhang Zhang had previously agreed to Wen Tiren's request and helped Hong Chengchou clear his responsibility for the previous rout, Governor Hong was now in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, and his image suddenly became tall again.

At present, Hong Chengchou took a heavy army to kill directly to Changping, and the court suddenly celebrated, as if Governor Hong's soldiers and horses arrived, the Tartars would withdraw from Changping.

Of course, Hong Chengchou is not stupid, he also knows that Changping has now assembled 150,000 troops from Jiannu, and it is impossible for him to go up directly to fight Jiannu, he must be stationed in Shunyi, waiting for the arrival of other soldiers and horses, and then make plans.

When Shunyi City, which was abandoned by the Tartars, gradually appeared in Hong Chengchou's sight, he couldn't help but gasp.

It is still more than a mile away, but Hong Chengchou can already see that the walls of Shunyi City have been demolished by the Tartars. There were ruins everywhere, and it was clear that the Tartars had gone in a hurry, and the walls that had not been demolished were bombarded with cannons......

All the people in the city were taken away by the Tartars, and Hong Chengchou's army of 100,000 had no choice, so he dug trenches along the city, set up horses, and built some basic defense facilities.

Without the protection of the city wall, Hong Chengchou had no confidence in his heart, so he asked the Jiliao army to dig three trenches inside and out, and each trench was three zhang high and four or five zhang wide - it seemed that only in this way would he have a sense of security in his heart.

For several days, more than 100,000 people in the Jiliao army did only one thing, digging trenches......

At noon on this day, Wu Sangui came to report to Hong Chengchou in the big tent of the Chinese army, saying that the three-layer trench had been dug and only an exit of less than 30 zhang in the east was left for the army to enter and exit, and Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief.

When the Tartars evacuated Shunyi City, they burned down the Imperial Palace, other yamen and dwellings in the city, so Hong Chengchou had no choice, and the army could only live in the marching tent.

At this moment, suddenly a hoarse shout came from outside the tent of the Chinese army: "Lord Governor, it's not good!" The grain convoy was attacked by the Tartars......"

Originally, Hong Chengchou was still sitting in the handsome seat drinking tea, and Wu Sangui ordered the defense, but suddenly heard this shout, and suddenly stood up in shock, and the teacup in his hand also fell to the ground-

"What?!" Hong Chengchou almost shouted these two words, and immediately ran outside the Chinese army's tent...... (To be continued.) )
