The news of the loss of Tongzhou spread to the Beijing division in the blink of an eye, Chongzhen and the civil and military officials in the Beijing division were shocked again when they heard it, and they were completely panicked for a while, Tongzhou is the east gate of the Beijing division, and now the gate has been kicked by others, and the entire Beijing division is like a woman who has been stripped naked.

And now the soldiers and horses of King Qin in various places have not even set off, and even the nearest reinforcements from Shanxi have not yet left Shanxi, not to mention rushing to King Qinwang in Beijing before the army attacked the capital.

In addition, Shanhaiguan, which is closer to the Beijing Division, also has no response to the holy decree, and the reinforcements have not yet arrived at Shanhaiguan, but Zu Dashou sent a message that the Jiannu army, which has been Chen Bing in the Guanning area today, has shown signs of withdrawing, but before the Jiannu army withdrew, the Guanning army could not move into the Guanqin King.

There is also the Shaanxi army under the jurisdiction of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, and the situation is not clear now, whether they have received the holy decree or not, no one knows, even if Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting receive the holy decree, day and night from Shaanxi to rush to Beijing Shiqin Wang, it will take at least two months, and it will be too late.

So someone gave Chongzhen an idea, and now immediately sent people to Nanzhili and Guangdong, and ordered Nanzhili and the officials and troops in Guangdong, Zhejiang and other places to directly raise troops to attack Fujian, give Yu Xiaotian a siege of Wei to save Zhao, attack it must be saved, directly threaten Yu Xiaotian's lair, forcing Yu Xiaotian to give up attacking the Beijing division and withdraw troops to help Fujian.

However, just when there was a mess in Beijing, someone in Fujian quickly sent the news, saying that in early March, Shen Youlong, the governor of Fujian, heard that Yu Xiaotian had brazenly led his troops north to plot rebellion, so he immediately ordered the mobilization of local Fujian officials and troops not under the jurisdiction of Yu Xiaotian to try to attack Weitouwan and uproot Xiaotian's forces in Fujian in one fell swoop.

However, as soon as Shen Youlong gave the order, he was detected by Yu Xiaotian's subordinates, and immediately the Yujia army in various parts of Fujian rose up one after another, and almost wiped out the remaining officers and troops who were not in the Yujia army system in Fujian, and disarmed them, and Liu Yidao, the general of the Yujia army in Fujian, led the Yujia army and the land division of more than 17,000 people, and on March 11, the boat division went straight into the Minjiang River and surrounded the city of Fuzhou.

It took only two days for the Yujia army to conquer the city of Fuzhou, and the current governor of Fujian, Shen Youlong, was captured, announcing that the entire territory of Fujian was controlled by the Yujia army, and the local military and government were all under the jurisdiction of Yu Xiaotian.

This news is like a thunderbolt from the sky, which shocked Chongzhen, and the entire Fujian fell, which also represents that Yu Xiaotian has completely torn the last layer of face and completely embarked on the road of rebellion, Fujian is equivalent to having declared independence and is no longer subject to any Ming court.

So Chongzhen was furious, scolded Yu Xiaotian for being a traitor through and through, and immediately summoned him to Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Liangguang to gather troops into Fujian to quell the rebellion.

At this point, Chongzhen is quite tough, the Yu family army has already arrived at the door, but he is still thinking about taking Fujian back.

However, after sending someone to send the decree out, he found a problem, even if the messenger kept going non-stop and kept people for 800 miles a day, and ran to Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Liangguang to spread the decree, even if it was the nearest Nanzhili, it would take ten days and half a month, and it would take at least a month to get to Guangdong.

In addition, the mobilization of soldiers and horses over there to raise food and salaries for the soldiers, it is estimated that it will be difficult to move troops in two months, and when they do it over there, it is estimated that the cucumbers and vegetables here are cold.

Now the most critical thing is how to hold the capital, looking at the posture of the Yu family's army, it is ironclad to enter the Beijing Division, Chongzhen hurriedly summoned the world again, calling on the world's soldiers and horses to go north to enter the King of Beijing Qin, and to destroy Yu Xiaotian's rebellion, but far water can not quench the thirst of the near, at this time Yu Xiaotian has led the troops to capture Tongzhou City, to the Beijing Division, it can be said that he will reach with his legs.

At this time, Chongzhen has been completely numb, and can only count on the existing officers and troops in the area of the Beijing division to resist the attack of the Yujia army, and temporarily crammed to send people to all parts of Beizhili, Baoding, Hejian, Zhending, Huairou, Jizhou, Xuanfu and other places, and urgently recruited all the troops from all over the country to rush to the Beijing division at a speed of 100,000 urgently.

The officers and troops in these places can now be almost 30,000 or 40,000 people, plus the three major battalions of the Beijing division itself and the Yongwei battalion commanded by the eunuchs, and the current strength of the Beijing division around the city plus the defenders in the city is also about 50,000 or 60,000 people.

But these 50,000 or 60,000 people are just a deposit on paper, and the three major battalions today are no longer the three major battalions when Zhu Di was in power, although they are equipped with a lot of firearms and a lot of troops, but they almost never practice, and only a few days a year will they pretend to drill the weapons battle array, and basically there is no combat effectiveness at all.

There are only a few thousand soldiers and generals in the Yongwei battalion, who are directly under the command of the inner staff, Chongzhen has paid more attention to it over the years, and there is still some combat effectiveness, and the rest of the Beijing battalion generals are basically waste snacks.

In the early years of Chongzhen, Jiannu entered the pass for the first time and plundered, approaching the city of Beijing, no one in the army of Beijing dared to send troops to fight with it, only the Mangui department dared to fight with Jiannu, although Yuan Chonghuan's department ran all the way to the Beijing division, but basically did not make an inch, but it was a random arrow, and the Mangui was injured.

Therefore, these soldiers and horses of the Beijing division are not enough to resist the soldiers and horses of the Yu family, which Chongzhen is also relatively clear, but now looking at the surroundings, he really does not have many people who can use it, so he had to order Cao Huachun to supervise the army, close the gates of the Beijing division, and put on a posture of defending the city.

At this time, there has been no news of Gao Qiqian, but suddenly appeared, it turned out that after Gao Qiqian Julu led the army to be defeated by the Jiannu army, he fled all the way to the area of Zhaozhou in Zhending under the escort of his own family.

Gao Qiqian was afraid that Chongzhen would be angry with him for this matter and behead him, so he didn't dare to return to Beijing to restore his life, and hid in the Zhaozhou area to send people everywhere to collect the defeated soldiers who were defeated at the beginning, and sent people to Beijing to inquire about the news.

Later, I heard rumors that he refused to send troops to rescue Lu Xiangsheng, and Yang Sichang tried every means to restrain Lu Xiangsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng was finally killed in battle.

Later, I heard that Yu Xiaotian led the army to blatantly occupy Tianjin Wei, and the whole situation seemed to be chaotic, and Gao Qiqian couldn't understand it, so he didn't dare to show his head.

It wasn't until this time that he heard that the Yu family's army first defeated the Jiannu army, and then turned against the imperial court, defeated Chen Xinjia's troops and Wu Xiang's troops, and even killed Wu Xiang on the spot, which made the Jingshi earthquake, and Gao Qiqian felt that this was the time for him to show his head.

Now Yu Xiaotian has played the banner of the Qing monarch's side, and he wants to enter the Beijing Division, and Gao Qiqian is quite familiar with the military situation of the Beijing Division, at this time, the strength of the Beijing Division is probably far from enough to block Yu Xiaotian's attack on the capital, so it is urgent to order soldiers and horses from all over the country to enter the King of Jingqin.

And he is guilty, this time is the time to wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions, after his time of retraction, he has gathered up 16,700 soldiers and horses that were defeated at the beginning, and they have gathered up again, but they still have some combat power.

These 20,000 soldiers and horses are his chance to turn over the book, he rushed back to Beijing with 20,000 troops at this time to enter the guard, even if he was wrong before, Chongzhen saw that when he was in danger this time, he also led the troops back to King Qin, and it is estimated that he will not do anything with him, at best, he will be reprimanded, and he will still be used.

Among the eunuchs, Gao Qiqian has a reputation for knowing soldiers, and has been a prisoner many times, and now Chongzhen is employing people, and he is suspicious by nature, and he can only believe in them at the moment, these eunuchs, with this, Gao Qiqian thinks that this is an opportunity, if he goes back at this time, it is estimated that there will be no big deal.

So Gao Qiqian Zhending Mansion reorganized the soldiers and horses, and took the seventeen or eight thousand officers and troops, known as the 30,000 army, and rushed to the outside of the capital at this time.

Chongzhen was feeling a headache because of the lack of soldiers and horses, and there was no one who knew the soldiers at hand, although he was angry that Gao Qiqian didn't know where to hide for so long, and he wanted to kill him immediately.

But when he learned that Gao Qiqian was at this juncture, he suddenly rushed back to King Qin with so many soldiers and horses, and it is said that there were still many elite soldiers, so most of the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Chongzhen's heart is still reliable for these inner servants, although he has done too much in this matter of raising the potential Lu Xiangsheng, but now he knows that the Jingshi is in danger, but he led the troops back to King Qin, which shows that Gao Qiqian is still loyal.

After Gao Qiqian led the troops back to the outside of the city, he pretended to bind himself and ask for guilt, crying in a mess, writing to Chongzhen, confessing his guilt, and making up a nonsense, shirking his responsibility, saying that he came back this time to accept the guilt, and was willing to accept any punishment from Chongzhen, but now that the thief has come to the city of Beijing, he still hopes that Chongzhen can give him a chance to make meritorious contributions.

Chongzhen hurriedly summoned Gao Qi to sneak into the palace to face the saint, and lurked on the ground in the palace, crying loudly, confessing his guilt, and reminding Chongzhen of his merits.

Chongzhen looked at Gao Qiqian's virtue, and couldn't bear it, anyway, Gao Qiqian's guy came back to King Qin with soldiers at this critical juncture, which can be regarded as loyal, so he reprimanded Gao Qiqian in the face of it, dismissed him from his official position, but asked him to stay in office and make meritorious service to atone for his crimes.

After Gao Qiqian listened, he was secretly happy in his heart, basically he expected it, this time it was really time for him to come back, so he immediately patted his chest and promised that he would do a good job and swear to fight for the court to the thief.
