Chongzhen just thought that he would establish a loyal and patriotic image with Hong Chengchou as the original form, but who knew that Lu Dao was just a farce after reaching the most Lu, and it had a counterproductive effect, I am afraid that there is not even a person who is for the country in the end! Chongzhen has always been most worried about the fact that there are too few people who serve the country, too few, and through the example of Hong Chengchou, it has played an even worse impact! It's even more on par with surrender.

Civil officials and military generals are their own again, and the future of the Ming Dynasty is really bleak!

Chongzhen just couldn't understand, why could Zhang Biwu expect that Hong Chengchou would definitely surrender? When everyone thought that Hong Chengchou was a loyal minister, he tried his best to disagree and said that Hong Chengchou would really surrender! I am not afraid of being pointed out by Wanfu for this.

It seems that it is very difficult for Zhang Biwu to use or not, if he uses it, he is not at ease, he is so capable, and he doesn't know if he is loyal, he really can't rest assured!

Since May, Kaifeng has been surrounded by Li Zicheng and is in danger! No reinforcements! Kaifeng is the hub of the Central Plains and the country's economic, cultural, and population cities, if it is lost, not only the Central Plains will be shaken, but even the whole country will be shaken! This is a heavy blow to the military spirit and the people's heart of the Ming Dynasty!

Kaifeng must be saved! Since the Songjin War last year, Daming has lost a lot of men and horses, and now he is gathering troops to rescue Kaifeng, which can only be Ling Zuo Liangyu, Ding Qirui, and Yang Wenyue.

However, Ding Qirui and Zuo Liangyu can be trusted, didn't they defeat Zhang Xianzhong repeatedly some time ago? Now if you come to the Central Plains again, you will definitely be able to perform the miracle of defeating Zhang Xianzhong again! It's just that when Yang Wenyue and Fu Zonglong jointly sent troops to fight Li Zicheng, Yang Wenyue actually left Fu Zonglong alone and escaped alone, and Fu Zonglong was martyred unyieldingly.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen said to himself: "I hope that this time Yang Wenyue can atone for his crimes!" Otherwise, I will punish you severely! ”

Chongzhen waved his pen, and he ordered Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue, Hu Dawei, Yang Dezheng, and Fang Guoan to quickly send troops to rescue Kaifeng.

It's just one thing, if he doesn't let Zuo Liangyu be with Yang Wenyue, Ding Qirui, etc., it would be good! Because Zuo Liangyu and them not only did not join forces, but on the contrary, it was a centrifugal force, which caused the most rebellious defeat of the official army.

Moreover, Zuo Liangyu's proposal is very correct to rely on the strategy of holding on to Kaifeng City. The army stationed in Zhuxian Town is the next policy, because the occupation of the territory, the official army is not as convenient as the righteous army, if the righteous army is allowed to seize the terrain and cut off the water source, then the official army will fall into the dilemma of having no water to drink, and will collapse without a fight.

This news quickly reached Zhang Biwu's ears, and he knew that Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng three times, and Kaifeng City would be flooded, and the people of Kaifeng would fall into the vast sea, either starving to death in the siege, or drowning in the subsequent flooding of Kaifeng City!

This will be a human catastrophe! If you can stop it and don't let Kaifeng fall into a big flood, it would be great!

But how do you stop it? Zhang Biwu's heart was at a loss! In addition, now that Chongzhen ordered him to sit in Ningyuan, he couldn't leave, he could only wait for news any longer, but he couldn't just wait, he had to be ready, he was building a ship while waiting.

After the Yellow River flooded Kaifeng, it would be a great thing to have a boat to save people.

While waiting, news came from July, and it was a surprise! Of course, it is a surprise and unbelievable thing for many people, but for Zhang Biwu, it is normal.

Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue, Hu Dawei, Yang Dezheng, Fang Guoan and Ding Qirui were stationed in Zhuxian Town.

Zuo Liangyu saw that the enemy was strong, so he pulled out the camp and fled, and all the armies in Xiangyang were defeated. Zuo Liangyu's army fled to the middle of the road and met Li Zicheng's ambush army, Zuo Liangyu's army was in chaos, abandoning horses and mules and 10,000 horses, Ren Dong, the supervisor of the army, died in battle, and Zuo Liangyu fled to Xiangyang. Looking for the defeat of Zhu Xianzhen, the governor Yang Wenyue was dismissed, and the governor Ding Qirui was arrested and imprisoned.

In the battle between the 17th and 80,000th army of the official army and Li Zicheng's army, they were defeated in Zhuxian Town, which is equivalent to leaving the Ming army with no more soldiers! It will be very difficult to gather another army of 17 or 80,000.

Chongzhen finally forbade Zuo Liangyu's benefactor Hou Sui and released him from prison. Then he thought of Zhang Biwu again, didn't he garrison Yu Ningyuan? Although Chongzhen gave him the position of garrison in the three counties of Shaanzhou and Lingbao, he did not let him go back, but only let him control the defense of the garrison from afar.

Zuo Liangyu and others lost the battle, Kaifeng is difficult to hold, the matter is already urgent, but Zhang Biwu can no longer be used! No matter how worried you are, you have to use it! Let Hou Sui and others restrain him, presumably he will not be able to turn the sky.

But Chongzhen still can't make up his mind, can Hou Sui be restrained? He used Hou Sui, in order to want Zuo Liangyu to raise an army again to save Kaifeng, if Zuo Liangyu didn't have an army to save him, Kaifeng would really be broken by Li Zicheng!

Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh, he often sighed, he couldn't eat well, he couldn't sleep well, which made Princess Kunxing see it. Princess Kunxing couldn't help but be very worried, she knew that her father must be troubled by state affairs again.

The current Princess Kunxing is no longer the one who didn't listen to things outside the window before, and she still heard about the situation outside. Especially some time ago, she just learned about Zhang Biwu through Zhou Shixian's mouth.

Chongzhen still thinks that it is best to match Princess Kunxing to Zhou Shixian. But Princess Kunxing's psychology is another thought, she doesn't like Zhou Shixian.

It's just one thing, she doesn't know why her father didn't appoint Zhang Biwu to untie the siege of Feng? Could it be that you are worried about the Tartars outside the gates? But at this critical juncture, she still wants Zhang Biwu to help her father.

When she said her statement, Gonggong Jin kept persuading Princess Kunxing not to talk nonsense, otherwise she would get into trouble! also asked Jingyi not to let the princess talk nonsense, but Princess Kunxing made a temperament, and no one could persuade her! She has to do whatever she wants, and she is very stubborn.

No, just as Gonggong Jin was worried, Princess Kunxing's words were listened to, and they were reported to Princess Kunxing's nemesis, Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu couldn't help but walk around, she said: "Does Princess Kunxing really want Zhang Biwu to help make meritorious contributions?" But Zhang Biwu can make a contribution again? I can't believe it! ”

It just so happened that Gao Qiqian was a guest here, because the last time Gao Qiqian and Concubine Liu wanted to harm Zhang Biwu and Princess Kunxing, the relationship between them became very cordial!

Gao Qiqian couldn't help but stand up and said, "Niangniang, don't you think now is a good opportunity?" Concubine Liu didn't understand, looked at Gao Qiqian, and asked, "You said that now is a great opportunity?" What do you mean? ”

Gao Qiqian said: "If Princess Kunxing can run out of the palace without permission, then maybe Zhang Biwu can participate in the battle to save Kaifeng!" Niangniang, think about it, this road is not very smooth! If the princess has something to do on the road, then isn't it what you wanted? Of course, because the princess went to find Zhang Biwu, and Zhang Biwu couldn't get out of it, then he had only one way to die! ”

When Concubine Liu heard Gao Qidive's plan, she couldn't help but shine in her eyes, looked directly at Gao Qiqian, and said, "Okay! Grandpa Gao, your plan is really good! But what do we have to do to get Princess Kunxing out of the palace without permission? ”

"Hey!" Gao Qiqian couldn't help but smile and said, "Princess Kunxing has a fatal weakness - she is what she thinks!" As long as she is stubborn, knowing that the way is wrong, and others tell her not to do it, she doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, she must do it! This kind of personality is the easiest for people to take advantage of! Isn't it? ”

When Concubine Liu heard this, she completely understood! She smiled, she asked Princess Kunxing to find Zhang Biwu, it was best to have an accident on the way, as long as something happened, she would relieve her hatred and take revenge! Of course, this is also conducive to high diving.

Gao Qiqian and Concubine Liu smiled relatively, and they all had to get ready.

Princess Kunxing was in an irritable mood, and she saw her father sighing all day long. Especially once, at night, Jingyi had not fallen asleep, when she passed by the rockery, she heard a cry, of course, this sound was blocked by the rockery, it was already a lot smaller, but it could be heard clearly.

She was afraid to think there was a ghost! Frightened, he ran back and told the sisters that all the palace maids were afraid, but they didn't expect to alarm Princess Kunxing.

Princess Kunxing is also afraid, there are bold eunuchs, saying that they will go to catch ghosts, and they will not let ghosts scare the sisters and Her Royal Highness the princess.

So when a large group of people went to the rockery, they didn't expect a person to come out of the rockery, this person was actually Chongzhen! Chongzhen's face is still stained with tears!

Chongzhen looked at everyone, he strictly ordered that no one was allowed to spread this matter, otherwise the Nine Clans would be punished! And Chongzhen happened to come to see Princess Kunxing. Of course, these are all excuses, in fact, Chongzhen wants to cry because of state affairs, but if he wants to cry in a crowded place, it will be too degrading for people to see it! This is absolutely impossible.

didn't expect him to run to the rockery to cry, but it was still discovered! But the palace maids and eunuchs are not stupid, they all say that the other little eunuchs are crying, and no one dares to say that it is the emperor, the emperor's face is important!

Princess Kunxing is precisely because of this incident, which shocked her a lot, and she wanted to make her father happy, and the only way was for the state to prosper. She thinks left and right, and can only think of Zhang Biwu alone!

When Princess Kunxing was walking with her heart full of concern, two palace maids came over, and they whispered about the siege of Kaifeng, if Zhang Biwu personally led the army, he would definitely be able to untie the siege of Feng, and the emperor would be happy.

This time, it touched the heart of Princess Kunxing! Princess Kunxing's idea of letting Zhang Biwu lead the army to rescue Kaifeng couldn't help but become intense.
