Tongzhou, state ya.

Zhang Fengyi walked around the house, his face was pale, and although Gao Qiqian was sitting, his face was gloomy.

Zhang Fengyi, as an auxiliary minister of the cabinet and a secretary of the military department, entered the troops of King Qinqin in Beijing from all walks of life, and Gao Qiqian was the supervisor of the army, and the responsibilities of the two were very clear, that is, to command the Ming army to drive away or defeat the Houjin Tartars, so that the Houjin Tartars left the land of Gyeonggi and returned to Liaodong, but unfortunately this has become an impossible task.

The troops of Yanqingwei, Miyunwei, Xingzhou Zhongtunwei, Zhuolu Sanwei, Yingzhou Zuotunwei and other guards were beaten by the Houjin Tartars and fled, without any resistance, and had already concentrated in Tongzhou Xingzhou Qiantunwei, Xingzhou Zuotunwei, Xingzhou Houtunwei, Yingzhou Qiantunwei, Yingzhou Zhongtunwei, Yingzhou Houtunwei, Yingzhou Right Tunwei, Dingbian Guard, Shenwu Zhongwei and other armies, did not dare to go out to meet the battle, and watched the Houjin Tartars plundering in Gyeonggi.

Yanqing, Changping, Shunyi, Huairou, Miyun, Liangxiang, Zhuozhou, Dingxing, Ansu, Anzhou, Xiongxian, Daxiong County, Wen'an County and other cities have been broken by the Houjin Tatars, counting that the Houjin Tatars have entered the customs for less than a month, and have won so many cities, you must know that most of these places are Gyeonggi County, all of which are close to the capital.

Zhang Fengyi and Gao Qiqian have discussed many times, the army stationed in Tongzhou is nearly 100,000 people, and the city of Tongzhou is densely crowded. The Ming army was not the opponent of the Houjin Tartars at all, Zhang Fengyi once sent a thousand soldiers of the Shenwu Zhongwei to ambush the Houjin Tartars harassed in the villages and towns of Shunyi, the other side was only two hundred people, and the final result of the battle, the Shenwu Zhongwei was defeated. Less than 100 people fled back to Tongzhou, and the sergeants who fled back said that the Houjin Tartars were too powerful, and they were all fierce and abnormal, and they could not be defeated at all.

Comparatively speaking, the combat effectiveness of the Shenwu Zhongwei can be said to be the strongest, but this Shenwu Zhongwei, which has the strongest combat effectiveness, cannot defeat two hundred Houjin Tartars with a thousand people, such a result. Let the other guards who gathered in Tongzhou dare not go out to fight.

Zhang Fengyi knew very well that relying on the guards gathered in Tongzhou, there was basically no hope for him to fight against the Houjin Tartars, and his eyes could only focus on the Zheng family, but he had no bottom in his heart, and the Zheng family army was originally responsible for exterminating the Liukou. is fighting in Kuizhou and Banzhou in Sichuan, and Zheng Xunrui has repeatedly encountered the calculations of the Donglin Party. There must be resentment in his heart, and the imperial court does not have a clear attitude towards these things, and people's patience is limited, who knows what Zheng Xunrui thinks.

Although the emperor issued an order, Zheng Xunrui could find many reasons, such as saying that he wanted to completely exterminate the rogues and so on. If you don't send a large army to Gyeonggi, it's hard for people to say anything, and it's a big deal to condemn it in the future.

Allowing the Houjin Tatars to plunder in Gyeonggi, the final outcome was that Gyeonggi was ravaged, and Zhang Fengyi, who was in charge of fighting against the Houjin Tatars. Don't think about any good results, being removed from official positions is considered light, and if you don't get it right, you will be imprisoned or even beheaded.

Zhang Fengyi's other worry is how the combat effectiveness of the Zheng family army is, the Ming army suffers from gold phobia, this is a real situation, there is no need to shy away from it, after the battle of Salhu in the Wanli period, the Ming army in the field battle, never defeated the Houjin Tatars, and repeatedly suffered heavy defeats, especially the battle of the Daling River, so that the Ming army basically lost the courage and confidence to resist the Houjin Tatars, if it were not for the Houjin Tatars were not good at siege battles, I don't know what the situation is now.

The ferocity of the Houjin Tartars, although it was expected by Zhang Fengyi and Gao Qiqian, but when the information continued to be reported, the two were still restless, they hated the ferocity of the Houjin Tartars, but there was no way.

When the herald sent a stack of documents and letters, Zhang Fengyi and Gao Qiqian didn't particularly care, they were already afraid of these letters and documents sent every day, and Houjin Tatar was attacking Baodi County, and it was estimated that it was an urgent document sent by Baodi County, and they had no choice.

After the herald withdrew, Zhang Fengyi sighed, walked to the table, and began to flip through the letters and documents.

Soon, Zhang Fengyi's face turned pale, his body trembled, and he stood up involuntarily.

"What's wrong with Lord Zhang, where did you get the letter?"

"Father-in-law Gao, the Zheng family army has arrived in Daxiong County, this is a letter written by Lord Zheng, 40,000 Zheng family troops are stationed in Daxiong County, they ask about the deployment of Gyeonggi, and the situation of Houjin Tatar."

Gao Qiqian was also surprised, he had the same understanding as Zhang Fengyi, and felt that Zheng Jiajun might not come to Gyeonggi, although the emperor had issued an order, Zheng Xunrui could find too many reasons, and Zheng Jiajun could not wade into troubled waters.

After taking the letter and reading it carefully, Gao Qi thought for a while and slowly spoke.

"Lord Zhang, our family thinks that Lord Zheng still wants to lead the Zheng family army to Tongzhou, and in addition, Lord Zhang wants to report to the emperor that Lord Zheng has already led 40,000 Zheng family troops into King Qin, Beijing."

Zhang Fengyi certainly understands the meaning of Gao Qiqian, on the one hand, he thinks that Zheng Xunrui must obey the overall command, and on the other hand, he does not have much confidence in the Zheng family's army, after all, the 100,000-year-old Jin Tartars are wreaking havoc in Gyeonggi, and the Zheng family's army is only 40,000 people, and it is impossible to resist the Houjin Tartars.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Fengyi spoke.

"Gonggong Gao, this official thinks that it is better to inform Lord Zheng of the situation in the area of Gyeonggi and the situation of the Houjin Tartars, and let Lord Zheng make his own decisions, if he orders Lord Zheng to lead the army to Tongzhou, he will not be able to fight, and it will be useless, the imperial court will order the Gao Gonggong and the official to be responsible for resisting the Houjin Tartars, so long time has passed, the Houjin Tartars are looting everywhere, and they are extremely rampant, if they can't stop the arrogance of the Houjin Tartars, the official thinks that they can't explain to the imperial court."

Zhang Fengyi said very sincerely, as an old bureaucrat, it is not easy to say such things.

Gao Qiqian listened very seriously, although he was the supervisor of the army, and the main responsibility was on Zhang Fengyi, but if he allowed the Houjin Tartars to plunder in Gyeonggi, the Ming army would always lose the battle, and his face would be dull at that time.

"Since Lord Zhang said so, our family has nothing to say, Houjin Tartar is attacking Baodi County, our family expects that within a day or two at most, Houjin Tartar will take Baodi County, even if Zheng Jiajun is brave and wants to rescue Baodi County, it can't be done, as for how Lord Zheng decides, our family will not interfere, I don't know what Lord Zhang thinks."

"This official agrees with the opinion of Gao Gonggong, the 50,000 Houjin Tartars led by Abatai fought all the way, rampant to the extreme, only 30,000 Houjin Tartars attacked Baodi County this time, and the remaining 20,000 people, escorting property has gone in the direction of Miyun and Huairou, this information, we must inform Lord Zheng, and at the same time, we must also send scouts to investigate the movements of Houjin Tartars again, and inform Lord Zheng of the detailed information, so that Lord Zheng can make his own decisions."

Gao Qiqian nodded and said something meaningful.

"Our family agrees with Lord Zhang's decision, but this Zheng family's army fights, whether it is a fluke victory, or other circumstances, or Lord Zhang's command is well-directed, Lord Zheng must understand this, and its battle situation, it is best not to write a recital directly to the imperial court."

Zhang Fengyi smiled and spoke.

"What Gonggong Gao said is that the official sees that Lord Zheng understands this, Zheng Jiajun entered the Shuntian Mansion, and Lord Zheng first reported to Gonggong Gao and the official, and did not directly write a memora to the imperial court, which has been clearly stated in this letter."

Gao Qiqian also nodded slightly, and did not speak again, but his expression was a little stern, obviously thinking about something.

After the arrangement was completed, Zhang Fengyi looked at the map carefully, it should be said that more than half a month has passed, the Houjin Tartars surrounded all parts of Gyeonggi, frantically plundered, Gyeonggi was devastated all around, and suffered heavy losses, and the Houjin Tatars threatened the capital all the time, and the guards stationed in Tongzhou did not dare to go out to meet the battle, the reason was to protect the capital.

The hope of Qiē is all in Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun.

As long as the Zheng Jiajun fought against the Houjin Tartars, whether it was a victory or a crushing defeat, Zhang Fengyi would be able to give a message to the imperial court, at least he would not encounter too many punishments.

In his heart, Zhang Fengyi is grateful to Zheng Xunrui, Zheng Jiajun rushed to meet Houjin Tartar, it can be said that he saved his life, these days in the court, there have been many people impeaching him Zhang Fengyi, the name is almost the same, what command is not in a way, what is afraid of Houjin Tartar, what is greedy for life and afraid of death, etc., especially those Donglin Party people, the agitation is particularly powerful, and the emperor's attitude is said to have begun to change, at such a critical moment, Zheng Xunrui led the army to come, the significance is by no means ordinary.

The information was quickly prepared, and the scouts were ready.

Looking at the prepared paperwork, Zhang Fengyi thought for a while, he always felt that there was something missing, and when Gao Qi dived into the house, he suddenly remembered.

"Gonggong Gao, Lord Zheng led the Zheng family's army, traveled thousands of miles, and came to Gyeonggi to fight against the Houjin Tartars, the official feels that it is still necessary to give some support in terms of grain and grass, how does Gonggong Gao think."

Gao Qiqian nodded and spoke.

"What Lord Zhang said is that our family has made preparations, and the grain and grass are not easy to transport, not to mention that the Houjin Tartars plundered in Gyeonggi, if they know the news and hijack the grain and grass, it will be a sin, and our family will still give 100,000 taels of silver, I don't know what Lord Zhang thinks."

"Okay, the official thinks it's okay, 100,000 taels of silver, along with the documents, will be given to Lord Zheng, and then it's up to Zheng Jiajun." (To be continued......)
