Chapter 197: Die in battle or be reborn
Zhu Youzhen's voice "It's broken!" Suddenly, the hearts of the dignitaries present were raised.
Shi Kefa looked at Zhu Youzhen, puzzled, and secretly wondered why His Majesty was suddenly so nervous?
He Xin couldn't help clenching his fists, looking at the bowl of tea in Zhu Youzhen's hand, he was afraid that His Majesty would directly fall out angrily again.
Gao Hongtu couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead, as a cabinet scholar who only knew how to write holy decrees, he couldn't think that what Lu Daqi said just now was wrong.
Lu Daqi originally had some confidence because of Zhu Youzhen's affirmation, but now Zhu Youzhen's sentence "broken" made him pale again: "Your Majesty, where is it broken?" ”
"The so-called not desperate because there is hope, the so-called dare to fight to the death is because there is hope for survival, you order Zhang Keliang to defend must give him a time to die, so that he can see hope, even if the hope is very slim, he will not despair, even if the fight to the last moment, he will be willing to feel that his ability is not enough, and you now order him to defend and never retreat, and there is no time limit, he will inevitably despair, even if he is not desperate, the soldiers under his command will also despair, people have the desire to survive, You, Lu Daqi, will still encounter difficulties, knowing that he picks a son, can't he surrender and survive? ”
"He dares, I treat him well, he is a vulgar martial artist, he should have the consciousness of a horse leather shroud!" Lu Daqi replied without thinking about it.
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help glaring at Lu Daqi, this is the arrogance of civilian commanders, taking it for granted that if you are kind to you, you should fight to the death for yourself, the so-called nerd leading the army, nothing more than that.
However, at this moment, suddenly there was a loud drum outside, and Zhu Youzhen and Lu Daqi looked up and saw a person running back covered in blood: "Make a table!" The Tiger Prison Pass has been lost, and the guerrilla Zhang Keliang has led more than 300 people to surrender to Jiannu, and now Jiannu has been killed and rushed to Kaifeng Mansion! ”
After this man finished speaking, he fell to the ground, obviously because he was in a hurry to report the news and ran all the way, and sometimes whether Daming can continue is closely related to the efforts of these little people.
However, when the soldier fell to the ground, no one paid attention to him, and the entire hall seemed unusually quiet, and the sound of pins falling to the ground could be heard quietly.
The Tiger Prison Pass was lost, and the result of the surrender of the defender was unfortunately stated by Zhu Youzhen!
At this time, Shi Kefa shouted first: "Your Majesty, withdraw quickly!" You can't stay in Kaifeng City anymore! ”
He Xin and Gao Hongtu also hurriedly bowed down and strongly suggested to Zhu Youzhen: "Yes, Your Majesty, quickly withdraw, now that the Tiger Prison Pass has been lost, Kaifeng City is about to be lost, you must not stay here anymore!" ”
It makes sense that the officials are concerned about Zhu Youzhen's safety first, after all, for them, Zhu Youzhen is the most important, and nothing else matters.
Lu Daqi seemed to have forgotten the existence of Zhu Youzhen, and with a roar, he looked for the sword everywhere, and saw that only the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Li Ruolian, was carrying the embroidered spring knife, and he was about to pull out Li Ruolian's embroidered spring knife: "What a Zhang Keliang, I dare to surrender to the enemy, I have to kill you!" ”
Li Ruolian, as the person who guarded the palace, saw someone pulling out his sword, so he naturally kicked Lu Daqi out without thinking about it!
Dare to pull out his knife, except for His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youzhen and himself, other people can be cut first and then played, even if they are first-class masters, so Li Ruolian just kicked Lu Daqi lightly.
Here, Shi Kefa couldn't help but roar first: "If you are confused, you dare to disturb the holy driver!" ”
Lu Daqi also came back to his senses at this time, and realized that he seemed to have made a negligent act just now, so he couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, Weichen just now." ”
"Needless to say, I know that you are out of shape for a while", Zhu Youzhen said, and Lu Daqi said again: "Why hasn't Your Majesty left, Jiannu is about to enter Kaifeng City!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, retreat!" Shi Kefa and the others were also busy shouting again.
Zhu Youzhen came to the window and looked out the window at the countless residential streets with only a piece of scorched earth and the Zhou Wangfu that was once magnificent and now a muddy land.
It can be said that the wounds caused by Li Zicheng to Kaifeng Mansion have not recovered until now, and now they have to face the attack of Jiannu.
"I just came to Kaifeng Mansion, and I was in a hurry to leave before I had a good rest, wouldn't it be too long for the Qing army, what are you afraid of, Lu Daqi, you are going to arrange the defense of the city now, don't worry about me, I will choose the best time to leave here, but now you have to tell all the officers and soldiers in the city that their Emperor Majesty is here, just here to watch them! It doesn't matter if the Qing army Tartars know, I also want to see if those traitors and thieves are ashamed when they know that I am here! ”
Although Zhu Youzhen said it boldly and freely, in fact, he was not really afraid, but he knew that now he could not escape immediately, as the emperor, the Jinluan honor guard entered Kaifeng City with great fanfare, and many officials and people in Kaifeng knew that his departure at this time would inevitably cause panic, and Kaifeng City would inevitably be unable to hold it at that time, and he could escape calmly, after all, there were hundreds of Jinyi Guards and infantry battalions with 6,000 people, and even the first army of the Guards could be dispatched at any time.
But in that case, it will only hasten Henan's demise.
The eunuch Shi Kefa, the eunuch of the celebrant Bingbi, the cabinet scholar Gao Hongtu, the eunuch He Xin, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, the eunuch Wang Chengen, the commander of the Dongchang Governor, Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the commander Xia Yunyi, and the new champion Xia Wanchun all looked at His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youzhen and didn't know what to say.
Lu Daqi had been ordered to go out to prepare for the city defense at this time, and even outside the inner hall of the governor's office where Zhu Youzhen was now located, there was a sound of swords coming out of the sheath, and footsteps came one after another, and someone could be heard shouting in the distance: "Martial law everywhere, prepare for war, Your Majesty is now in the city, and you are the same as the imperial captives!" ”
Although the city defense of Kaifeng City has not been completely repaired, the officials and people have long had experience in defending the city, and the response everywhere is indeed fast, and knowing that His Majesty is also here, they are more active than when King Zhou defended the city.
Zhu Youzhen looked up at everyone: "Why are you looking at me, now you and I are both members of the city, and we both have the responsibility of guarding the city!" ”
Saying that, Zhu Youzhen instructed Li Ruolian: "Carry the messenger who is still sleeping outside to the inner room to rest, and let the accompanying imperial doctor give him a good look if there is any injury." ”
The ministers were quite speechless, thinking that His Majesty still cared about the people below at this time, and he was not worried about himself.
At this time, Zhu Youzhen ordered again: "Xia Yunyi, you quickly take your battalion of soldiers to support Governor Lu Daqi and assist the soldiers and civilians of Kaifeng to defend the city, but you can't make arbitrary claims, everything is at Lu Daqi's disposal, I have Li Ruolian's brocade guard here is enough!" The rest of you will follow me to the castle tower to have a look, but you must be vigilant and beware of a sneak attack by Tartars in the city! After all, you and I are only afraid that these people are all named in the Tartars. ”
At this time, Xia Wanchun stood up: "Your Majesty! ”
