Chapter 0016: Beijing City is under siege
The sky was covered with black stratus clouds, and the north wind began to howl wantonly, as if to prove to the world the supreme domineering of celestial phenomena!
"Your Majesty, do you really want to attack the city? This is the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty? Didn't we just say it at the beginning, just to put pressure on the Ming Dynasty, and by the way, capture the materials in Guanzhong and consume the Ming army in Guanzhong? "After Fan Wencheng heard the horn of the army preparing to attack, he found Huang Taiji! He is the first think tank of Huang Taiji, and he is also a well-educated Han man, who was kidnapped by the Eight Banners a few decades ago, and then simply became a high-ranking official in the Manchurian court, and at this time he was already a secretary of the ministry!
Huang Taiji glanced at Fan Wencheng, and then looked at the flamboyant emperor on the wall of Beijing City! "Mr. Fan, the shape is changing, this young emperor is very bold! The spies have figured out the emperor's deployment, he did not mobilize the officials and troops of the Central Plains, nor did he let the soldiers and horses of the three sides and Shanhaiguan escort us, he wanted to drag us to death next to the capital, so that our interests in this customs exit were restricted! Gotta give him a taste of color! If we can capture Beijing, of course, it will be great! ”
Fan Wencheng sighed, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it, even if you capture the capital, you don't have the strength to manage this devastated country now?" We're not ready yet! Moreover, the world of the Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the point of collapse! Their hearts and minds are not lost! If you capture Beijing at this time, even if you capture the emperor! There will be a second emperor in his place! The entire Han nationality will be united, and the entire Ming Dynasty will awaken in advance! You will become the enemy of the entire Han people, in that case, this world will definitely have nothing to do with you, and the land of Longxing outside the gate may not be able to be saved! ”
"Presumptuous!" Big Brother Hao and Morgan Dai Qing Belle Dolgon drew their swords at the same time, "Bold man dog, dare to be alarmist and deceive the saint!" Emperor! Kill him! ”
Big Brother Hao and Murgen Dai Qing Belle Dolgon, called uncle and nephew relationship, in fact, Hauge is four years older than Dolgon, later film and television works always love to make Hauge a young and handsome offspring, and make Dolgon a handsome middle-aged man, which is wrong, in fact, both of them are not good-looking, and they are both very young.
Fan Wencheng knelt on the ground and did not say a word, he was originally Haoge's house slave, and he was promoted to minister by his own efforts, which was very appreciated by the emperor.
Huang Taiji fell into deep thought, and after a while, gave his own reason, "Mr. Fan, please get up, you two shut up!" Mr. Fan's words are very reasonable! But things have changed now! This little emperor is playing tricks with us, and I can't let him think that we don't know how to count! If we can't attract Sun Chengzong's main force, it will be a trouble for us to get out of the customs at that time! If the policy of the Ming Emperor changes, if we don't keep up with this change, we will suffer! ”
Fan Wencheng smiled bitterly, "Originally, I shouldn't have said this as a Han person, Your Majesty, we are like a pot of stewed beef now, we must wait for this beef to be rotten and fully cooked, and then we can use a knife to cut it!" If we want to overthrow this Ming Dynasty, we must wait until the Han people themselves overthrow him, and then we will enter the customs with such a gesture of revenge for the Ming Emperor, so as to minimize the hostility of the Han people in the world to us! If the emperor really wants to fight now, it is not impossible, but the position must be clear, and we must fight on the premise of peace! The premise is to hurt the face of the Ming Dynasty and eat the flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty, not to kill them all at once! It's best to fight in the Ming Dynasty, you can't hold it, you can't bear it! Agree to our terms and conditions! Recognize the regime established by the Manchurians outside the Kansai! The goal has been achieved. When the Ming Dynasty is dragged down by us, it will naturally be overthrown by their own people! ”
Huang Taiji nodded, "Dolgon listens to orders!" Fight harder, and let the white flag and the white flag be divided into two teams to attack day and night! Just beat it at Deshengmen! The other ministries are tied up and waiting for reinforcements from all over the Ming Dynasty to take the bait! I don't believe how long this little emperor can survive! He's never seen a war! Let him have a good look at what war is! ”
"Huh! Holy! Just take a look! Dolgon stepped on the war horse with a smile and waved his big hand, although he was only eighteen years old, he was born with a powerful force, and it was indeed a bit like the image of a traditional Chinese door god, "Charge me!" Capture the city of Beijing and capture the Ming Emperor alive! ”
Looking at the pair of neatly arranged shield soldiers approaching the city wall, Zhu Youzhen's mood was nervous! He's been through a couple of big wars! He has his own analytical ability for military forms! If history had changed! If Huang Taiji really wants to break through Beijing City and kill himself, it's not impossible! This Royal Forest Army has just been formed, and it is still an untrained civilian, just a change of clothes! The brocade guards and eunuchs are not worth mentioning! Film and television works always love to make Jinyiwei into a strong image of martial arts, Zhu Youzhen knows in his heart what is going on with these people, speaking of lurking spying, there are many good players among these, but when it comes to strong martial arts, the whole Jinyiwei is well-skilled, and there may not be a hundred people!
In other words, the army that can be used in the entire Beijing division is the Guanning Iron Cavalry of less than 2,000 people brought by Lu Xiangsheng!
"Your Majesty, please relax, the humble generals have already scattered the Imperial Forest Army and the eunuchs, the Jinyi Guard, and the various departments together, divided into two 10,000 teams, and took turns to defend the city day and night, the walls of the capital are high and thick, as long as the people can do a good job of logistics guarantees! There is no problem in guarding the Jingshi for ten days and half a month! "Lu Xiangsheng told the truth! As a soldier, he will not just talk big and empty like the civilian officials!
Zhu Youzhen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trying not to let people see the tension in his heart, in fact, his heartbeat speed was beyond his control! It's been a long time since I felt like this life and death! Let him remember the scene when he was helpless in the face of a million-dollar Li Zicheng army! And on the opposite side of the million-strong army, he himself has only a few dozen eunuchs desperately protecting him! Who has the choice to hang themselves? That scene is the pinnacle of eternal helplessness!
"Well done! Tell you, soldiers, I'm with you! People are in the city! People are dead, and the city is dead! Although the words were fierce, Zhu Youzhen no longer had the vigor he had when he just swore in the city! But the voice was quite calm, and he couldn't do it without a hundred years of calmness!
The battle is fierce! Or rather, tragically! The artillery fire is dense, and the arrows are like flying locusts! Long ladders were erected one by one on the tower of the capital division, and tens of thousands of people fought together on the city wall! The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty desperately used all kinds of stones, wood, and arrows to resist the climb of the Eight Banners Army, and the Eight Banners Army carried a shield on their heads and attacked fiercely! This is a direct confrontation between the old and the new forces! On the one hand, there is the already decaying Daming, and on the other hand, the thriving Dajin regime!
Huang Taiji conformed to the trend of historical development and promoted the feudalization process of the Later Jin regime. He sent people to measure the land, returned the "surplus land everywhere" to the public, and distributed it to the people to cultivate, and did not allow the banner owners and nobles to set up farms again. The original 13 Zhuang Ding was changed to a village for every 8 Zhuang Ding, and "the rest of the Han people were divided into separate residences and classified as private households." He also ordered the compilation of Zhuang Ding and the liberation of some slaves and maids as compilers. These measures have restricted the privileges of the Manchu aristocracy to a certain extent, which is conducive to the development of agricultural production. He tried his best to learn Han culture and ordered Confucian ministers to translate Chinese character books.
After a series of reforms, with the Emperor Taiji's continuous plundering policy against the Ming Dynasty! Houjin's strength has increased by leaps and bounds! The most intuitive thing is that Houjin's artillery is all red-coated cannons, which are twice as powerful as the general's cannon of the Ming Dynasty! The firing range is twice as far as the general's cannon! The combat effectiveness of the soldiers is at least three times stronger than that of the Ming army! And now it is a professional soldier against an amateur soldier, and the combat effectiveness of the two is more than ten times the difference!
Zhu Youzhen knew very well that in the previous life, it was not that Huang Taiji was incapable of taking down Beijing City, but that he had always kept himself! The regime of the Ming Dynasty has long been reduced to a plaything in the heart of Huang Taiji!
"Your Majesty, the castle tower is too dangerous! Please ask the emperor to focus on the country's society, or go back to the palace first! It's okay to have an old minister here! Cabinet Minister Qian Longxi knelt down and pleaded, and the ministers also knelt on the ground!
Zhu Youzhen said calmly, "All the officials should go home!" This is the holy decree, Qian Longxi and Yu Dacheng stayed, you are the cabinet ministers, and the two of you accompany me to watch the battle on this tower! In fact, it is the same in the palace and above the castle tower! If the city wall is breached by Jiannu, how can the palace resist foreign aggression? ”
"Your Majesty!" Hundreds of officials burst into tears at the same time! Most of these people are grass on the wall, but from the bottom of their hearts, it is impossible to have no feelings for the emperor! If you become a minion and become a full dog! No matter what, it is impossible to have the current Gao Jue Houlu!
Zhu Youzhen stood up, "Shut up!" Do you want to deceive the king? Stand out for all! If you really have this mind, think about how my Ming Dynasty got to where it is today! You all remember this moment! Think about how I can help me rectify the rule if this catastrophe passes! That's where it's more practical! Stand down! ”
Listening to the emperor's reprimand, the officials were all ashamed! Most of these people are clever and cunning people, and they can stay in the change of generations, which one is not a good politician? But most of a country is going to be dragged down by politicians!
Yu Dacheng, Qian Longxi and Yuan Keli were also persuading hundreds of officials on the side, and many officials left! It's hard for all the officials these days! The capital is in danger! The emperor seems to have changed again, and the biggest role of many officials is to pat on the back, but now the emperor doesn't even let people shoot on the back, and many people have lost their life goals and directions!
Zhu Youzhen looked at the three old men who were nearly seventy years old, and smiled weakly, "You three follow me, do you know why?" The first is that you have a high status and old qualifications, even if you want to surrender! It may not end well! We can only wait together on this wall to die! ”
Yuan Keli held back his tears, "The emperor does know people!" If the Ming Dynasty ...... Anyway, the three of us old guys will definitely be buried with us! ”
Zhu Youzhen nodded, he believed them, and it was like this in history, with his death, hundreds of officials and family members jumped into the moat and followed the burial! Until his death, the Ming court still had a large number of loyal supporters! That's why the queen blamed him for why he didn't listen to her earlier and moved the capital to Nanjing!
Qian Longxi and Yu Dacheng also held back their tears and were silent, when this time of crisis, in fact, everyone had to resign themselves to fate!
After a long time, Qian Longxi said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, it is better to let the loyal and brave people break through at night and ask for reinforcements from all over the world!" If the emperor is gone, then what is the point of saving money in my Ming court? ”
Yu Dacheng and Yuan Keli also unanimously reconsidered, when Cheng Ji's life was not there, Qian Longxi was the person with the highest rank and prestige among the ministers, and his words actually represented the meaning of a hundred officials!
The three of them looked up at Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen together, but the emperor's eyes looked at the door, because he saw the person he wanted to see the most.
