The defense of Beijing was personally led by Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, witnessed with his own eyes, he was deeply moved by Qin Liangyu and her white pole soldiers, but it is better to resist foreign enemies, this is the Great Patriotic War, let Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers help themselves to kill the anti-people army, which requires the orthodox army of the imperial court, and the army that serves the emperor full-time such as its own imperial forest army and the trilateral army! His personality made him unbearable to speak.

The indecisive Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen also has the characteristics of thin face, he is definitely not a thick-skinned person who can make demands on others casually, and at this time, the Ming Court is very declining, except for a few local patriotic armed forces like Qin Liangyu, there is no local army that will obey the emperor's dispatch at all, how can he be embarrassed to let the white pole soldiers, an army formed purely by relying on the family system of the Ma family, go to the bloody war against the people?

The white clouds in the sky above Datong are layered, this is a good time in late spring, but Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, has no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery in the sky. He circled over Datong in a helicopter gunship for a week, unsure where to land, and he didn't think about it himself.

"Have you asked the specific location of Cao Wenzhao and Sun Chuanting's army?" Chongzhen Emperor Zhu asked Gao Dewei, the deputy next to him, Gao Dewei is the big leader of Jinyiwei, and he is also the direct follower of Jianxunlou, although his grade is far higher than the title of the small flag from the seventh grade of Zhenxunlou.

Gao Dewei nodded, "The troops stationed in Datong City are all Qin Liangyu's army, with a total of more than 8,000 people, while Sun Chuanting's 1,000 troops are stationed at Ningwu Pass, and Cao Wenzhao's 1,000 troops are stationed at Yanmen Pass. As for the news of Yang He's army, it is not accurate, and it has been moving around Shaanxi to Shanxi. The exact number is also not exact. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen snorted. Nothing was said. He had already figured out where to go. There was no radio system connection between him and Qin Liangyu, on the one hand, it was out of the protection of military secrets, and on the other hand, he had no way to include Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers, which were all composed of family systems, into his Central Army. This is the delicate relationship between him and Qin Liangyu's army.

Yang Sichang also didn't say anything, he had already seen that this prosecutor was wary of himself, and with his city government, he generally didn't talk too much to people he wasn't familiar with, not to mention that this person was Wang Chengen's nephew. is a person close to the emperor, in this life, Yang Sichang and the emperor have not been in contact.

But Yang Sichang was still very relieved to hear a little bit of news about his father, and his father's trilateral army moved to the periphery where Shaanxi and Shanxi meet, indicating that his father's heart was still in the imperial court.

Yanmen Pass is the historical symbol of the ancient Song and Ming dynasties, as soon as Yanmen Pass is said, people immediately think of the story of the Yang family in the Song Dynasty who will be the successor of the country.

"There are nine stops in the world, and Yanmen is the head." "Nine Sai respects the first pass" Xiongguan is close to the mountain. It is one of the main central passages for wild geese to return south and north.

East and west wings. The mountains are undulating. The Great Wall of the mountain ridge, its potential is meandering, and it goes east to Pingxingguan, Bauhinia Pass, and Baoma Pass, and reaches Youyan and connects Hanhai; Go west to Xuangangkou, Ningwu Pass, and Yatou Pass to the Yellow River. There are two gates of east and west, all of which are stacked with huge bricks, pass through the wild goose through the clouds, the bearing is magnificent, and the door forehead is carved and embedded with two plaques of "natural risk" and "geographical advantage" respectively. There was a city tower on the east and west two gates, towering in the sky, the group portrait of the Yang family general was molded inside, and outside the east city gate, the monument was erected for Li Mujian Ancestral Hall, but unfortunately the city tower and Li Mu Ancestral Hall, were burned in a moment when the Japanese invaded China. Mr. Fu Shan's couplet of "Three levels of Chong must be incomparable, and Jiusai respects the first level" has also been reduced to ashes. However, the Tang Dynasty poet Li He's "Yanmen Tai Shou Xing" still wrote the heroic momentum of Xiongguan: "The black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it, and the light of the armor opens to the sun." The sound of horns fills the sky with autumn colors, stuffed with rouge and night purple. Half a roll of red flags is in the water, and the frost is heavy and the cold is silent. repay the king's will on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king. "It has been passed down to this day.

The majestic Heng Mountain, along the northern border of Dai County, stretches. The inner Great Wall winding on the top of the mountain is like a jade belt connecting beads, connecting Yanmen Mountain, Mantou Mountain and Caoduo Mountain into one. It is bordered by the Yanbei Plateau in the north and the Xinding Basin in the south. The famous Yanmen Gusai is built on the steep Yanmen Mountain Ridge.

Yanmen Mountain, known as Goozhu Mountain in ancient times. The peaks here are tall and the terrain is dangerous. Since the construction of Yanmen Pass, there is more "one husband when the pass, ten thousand people do not open" trend, it "outside the same domain guard, inside the solid Taiyuan lock key, the root to the three passes, the throat of the whole Jin". Legend has it that every spring, the southern wild goose flies north, holds the reed leaf in the mouth, flies to the wild goose gate and circles for half a day, until the leaf falls to pass the pass. Therefore, there is a saying that "those who are in Yanmen Mountain, and the geese fly out of it" ("The Classic of Mountains and Seas").

Xiongguan Yanmen, ranking first in the "Nine Stops in the World" ("Lu's Spring and Autumn"). Since King Wuling of Zhao during the Warring States Period, all dynasties have regarded this place as a strategic location. Zhao placed Yanmen County, and since then, Yanmen has been mostly guarded by the county, province and county. The name of Yanmen Pass began in the early Tang Dynasty. Due to the rise of the northern Turks, there were repeated internal crimes, and the Tang garrison was stationed in Yanmen Mountain, and the city was set up at the commanding heights of the Iron Wrapping Gate, and the soldiers defended it. Book of Tang. The Geographical Chronicle describes here that "the east and west mountains are steep and steep, there is a road, circling and rugged, and the top is set up at the top, which is called the West Pass, and is also called the Yanmen Pass." After five dynasties and ten kingdoms, Song, Liao, Jin, and Yuan, it lasted for about 400 years. The Yuan Dynasty set up a thousand households, and the city was destroyed. In the Ming Dynasty, the Marquis of Ji'an, Lu Xiang, in the seventh year of Hongwu (1374), supervised the construction of a new road about the northeast ten miles of the old pass. It is more than 40 miles away from Daicheng County in the south and 21 miles away from the ancient city of Guangwu in the north, and the terrain is more dangerous. Gu Yanwu, a famous scholar in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, visited this place in person. He wrote, "The gate of the wild goose is closed, the mountains are in the eyes, the clouds are lifted, the two mountains are facing each other, its shape is like a door, and the flying geese come out of it." ”

The Guancheng, the circumference is two miles, the wall is two zhang high, the stone seat brick body, the pheasant moat is the tooth, the hole is threefold, it is said that the east gate, the west gate, the small north gate. The east gate is built on the platform, said the wild goose building, the door forehead is inlaid with a stone plaque, and the horizontal book "natural insurance" (i.e., "natural insurance"). There is Yang Liulang temple built on the west gate, the door forehead is inlaid with a stone plaque, and the horizontal book "geographical advantage" (i.e., "geographical advantage"). There is no top floor at the small north gate, but the brick and stone structure is particularly majestic. The stone plaque on the front of the door is horizontally engraved: "Yanmen Pass" three words. On both sides of the cave door, the brick engraved script is inlaid with the inspection union: "The three passes are to be incomparable, and the pill stopper respects the first pass." On the north side of the east gate, there is a "Jingbian Temple" to worship the military strategist Zhao General Li Mu of the Warring States Period. On the right side of the west gate, there is a temple of the emperor. There is a garrison barracks in the north of Guancheng, and there is a training ground in the southeast. The whole Guancheng building, the tiger standing on the dragon plate, is majestic and magnificent.

Although the castle has been rebuilt repeatedly. However, with the gradual formation of the territory of China's multi-ethnic unified country, the role of the Inner Great Wall as the "inner border" has been lost, and the Yanmen Xiongguan to which it belongs has also been abandoned. Guancheng only has three door openings at the east gate, the west gate, the small north gate and a pair of stone lions in front of the Jingbian Temple, a pair of stone flagpoles, a stone engraved with Li Mu stele in the Ming Dynasty, and several green pines behind the temple.

"Shepherd Zhao pawn, big break forest hu." This is the story of Li Mu, a good general of the Warring States period, said by the Tang Dynasty prose writer Li Hua. In history, King Wuling of Zhao carried out military reforms, rode and shot in Hufu, defeated the invasion of Lin Hu and Lou Fu, and established Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Daijun. Later, Li Mu was ordered to stay in Yanmen to guard against the Xiongnu. In order to avoid the Xiongnu's attack on the border people of Zhao State, he was honest and honest, "the city rent is lost to the shogunate, and the soldiers are paid", so he won the support of the soldiers. At the same time, we should adhere to the principle of prudent defense and strengthen our combat readiness by taking advantage of the danger of the Great Wall. He was in Yanmen for several years, "practicing shooting and riding, being cautious of fire, and being a multi-spy." "So that the Xiongnu have nothing to gain for several years, and the Zhao army is strong and strong, and is willing to fight for a war. At this time, he chose elite soldiers and horses, skillfully set up a strange formation, and lured the enemy deep. "Break the Huns with more than 100,000 horsemen." For more than ten years after that, the Xiongnu did not dare to Kou Zhao. Later generations called Li Mu a "genius", and built the "Jingbian Temple" in Yanmen Pass to commemorate his military exploits in defending the border and protecting the people.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen parked the helicopter gunship at Yanmen Pass was not that he was not worried about what Qin Liangyu would do to him, he completely believed in Qin Liangyu's patriotic feelings, he just hoped to be closer to the front line, and get more reliable and faster news, anyway, he had an armed helicopter, and he didn't have to worry about any danger to himself.
