The mighty cavalry rushed directly to the outside of the Xifengkou Pass, and the soldiers at the pass saw this and prepared all kinds of defenses like crazy, and shouted frantically to find the general guard, but it was too late.

The Qing army suddenly divided its troops in the process of impact, one of the soldiers and horses was particularly elite, turned around from Xifengkou, and killed directly along the city wall to Qingshankou in the east of Xifengkou, Qingshankou's defense was obviously not as sufficient as Xifengkou, seeing the Qing army rushing to kill, only two artillery guns on Qingshankou opened fire, and at the same time there was a burst of fire.

On the city wall, a Ming army commander shouted loudly: "The Tartars are coming, the Tartars are coming, give me a beat, fight!" ”

Firearms, bows and arrows, and artillery fell from the Qingshan Pass frantically, and the commander of the Ming army shouted angrily at this time: "Quick, quickly send someone to the general army to rescue, otherwise it will be too late." ”

Hearing this, the scouts of the Ming army immediately went to give the order, and a fierce defensive battle began immediately after.

The scout squad leader was standing on the low neck tree at this time and watched everything, his eyes were about to bleed, and then the scout replied: "Squad leader, the telegram has been sent, and the brigade commander told us to be careful, so as not to expose our whereabouts." ”

When the reconnaissance squad leader heard this, he raised his hand and said, "Get on the horse." ”

Saying that, the rest of the scouts got on their horses, and the reconnaissance squad leader took the telescope and saw that the Qing soldiers and the Ming army guarding Qingshankou had fought together, and at this moment only heard a loud bang, the Qing army actually placed a large number of gunpowder bags on a city wall, and the city wall on this side of Qingshankou was already in disrepair, and it was blown up by gunpowder bags, and suddenly the entire city wall collapsed a big face.

"It's over."

Seeing this scene, the reconnaissance squad leader only spit out two words, and the city walls collapsed, and it seemed that nothing could stop the Qing soldiers from entering the army.

The reconnaissance squad leader put down the binoculars, he didn't want to see the Ming people being slaughtered, then he sighed, jumped off the low neck tree, got on the horse and left with the scouts to distance himself from the battlefield.

In October of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty took Dolgon, the prince of Heshuorui, as the general who was ordered, Haoge and Abatai as the deputies, commanded the left wing soldiers, and Beile Yuetuo as the general of Yangwu, and Du Du as the deputy commander of the right wing soldiers, and once again detoured to Mongolia, and the soldiers attacked the Ming Dynasty in two ways.

The left flank soldier Dolgon led his troops and horses to raid Qingshan Pass east of Xifengkou, broke through the fortress of the Great Wall, destroyed the city wall, and led the army into the fortress.

Yue Tuo led the right wing of soldiers and horses to enter the Ming Dynasty from the wall of the east of Miyun.

The two wings of soldiers and horses moved to An, Fengrun, converged in the west of the Tongzhou River, approached the Beijing Division, Emperor Chongzhen was shocked when he heard the military report, did not sleep for three days and three nights, and took advantage of the night to convene Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, and other important ministers to discuss countermeasures.

This is the rebellion of Chongzhen in the second year, and the third entry into the second army in the ninth year of Chongzhen.

The wind and fire burned quickly, which greatly exceeded the expectations of Chongzhen and the princes of the imperial court.

Daming BJ Qianqing Palace.

Wang Chengen ran into the palace quickly, saw Chongzhen pinching the bridge of his nose, thinking about things there with his eyes closed, and thought about the sentence that His Majesty didn't call out, but Chongzhen obviously heard Wang Chengen's footsteps, and then looked up at Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen hurriedly said at this time: "Your Majesty, Yang Sichang and all the adults are here. ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen immediately cheered up: "Please." ”

Soon the ministers entered the hall in turn, and after saluting, Chongzhen spoke: "You should already know that Jiannu broke the wall from Miyun's wall Ziling and Qingshankou into the Kou, and now it has hit Tongzhou and approached the capital, what do you think should be?" ”

After Chongzhen said this, all the ministers were silent and did not say a word, if this matter is not said well, maybe they will lose their heads, Chongzhen saw that the ministers stopped talking, and looked at Yang Sichang and said: "Yang Aiqing knows about military affairs, you should tell me what to do first?" ”

Yang Sichang heard this and said: "After all, Jiannu is fierce, and we were caught off guard, so the minister thought that we should take two steps, the first is to gather the soldiers and horses of the counties around the capital to enter the capital, strengthen the strength of the Beijing camp, and defend the capital." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuliang, the head of the cabinet on the side, frowned slightly and said: "This has drained the surrounding troops, so how should the surrounding counties guard against Jiannu?" ”

Yang Sichang heard this and said: "Liu Gong, now that the Tartars have been killed at the door, how can they take care of others, first hold the capital and then say, if the capital is not lost, then Your Majesty is here, and Your Majesty will be forever in this Daming country." ”

Liu Yuliang frowned slightly when he heard this: "Then the people don't care about life and death?" ”

Yang Sichang heard this and said: "Liu Gong should make a trade-off, the people are light and the king is heavy, first keep the capital, as long as Your Majesty is okay, no matter how many people are lost, we can make a comeback, and I think the people can also understand what I said today." ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Liu Yuliang's health is not good, he didn't know how to refute Yang Sichang's words, so he coughed lightly, Liu Yuliang is a scholar and a clear stream, so don't care what he thinks on this occasion, he must think about the people, this is called political correctness.

Maybe he is really worried about the country and the people, maybe he just wants to show his attitude, at least when this paragraph is reproduced in history, some people will say that Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, said to the people at that time, he is a good person.

Yang Sichang is more practical, and what he said about transferring the surrounding officers and soldiers into Beijing to defend the capital is really not a bad idea, at this time to abandon the small and protect the big cannot be said to be a wrong decision, then what is small, the people are small.

It may not be a good way to give up the people around the capital and protect the capital, and even if he is a little more poisonous and makes a vertical wall to clear the wilderness, it will not be a good delay for the Tartars.

It's a pity that this has suffered the people, but in the eyes of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, is the fate of the people still fortune-telling?

Chongzhen listened to Yang Sichang's proposal and hesitated, he also felt that he was a little sorry for the people around him, but in the end he nodded in agreement, after all, the society is important, as for the people, forget it, those in power must make appropriate trade-offs.

At this time, Yang Sichang said the second plan: "Second, Your Majesty should immediately issue an order to let the general troops from all over the country enter the king of Jingqin, especially the forward chief soldier Zu Dashou of Liaodong, the Guanning iron cavalry under their command still has the strength to fight, and they can use the main force of the Tartars to be involved, and Liaodong is not far from the capital, and the rescue will be made with all its might, and it will be possible to arrive in a few days and nights, and the danger of the capital will be solved at that time." ”

Chongzhen nodded when he heard this: "Yes, Zu Dashou can fight generals, Wang Chengen immediately issued an order to recruit Zu Dashou to come to the capital to rescue him." ”

"In addition, Shandong Liu Zeqing, Shanxi Ni Chong, Zu Kuan, Luo Dai, Xiong Wencan, Zuo Liangyu come quickly, forget Zuo Liangyu, don't move, the rest of the people come to the capital Qinwang."

Chongzhen paused when he said this, Zuo Liangyu was defending Lantian County, and moving Zuo Liangyu at this time was equivalent to loosening the ropes trapped in Lantian County, in contrast, Chongzhen was even more worried about Lantian County, so Zuo Liangyu couldn't move lightly.

But if Zuo Liangyu doesn't move lightly, can the troops be able to? Thinking about it, Chongzhen added: "By the way, and Sun Chuanting also called King Qin." ”

As soon as he heard Sun Chuanting, Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, said: "Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting is guarding against Zhang Xianzhong in Hubei, don't move lightly, otherwise it is better to recruit Zuo Liangyuqin Wang, although Lantian has violated the rules, but he has never openly rebelled, presumably there is still a Ming in his heart, at this time of survival crisis, I think Lantian County Zun Li Chaosheng will not use swords." ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen frowned slightly and fell into thought, Lantian really didn't do anything to directly and openly rebel, or did he?

"Your Majesty, by all means."

After listening to Liu Yuliang's words, Yang Sichang hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty, Li Chaosheng is a poisonous dragon, Zhang Xianzhong is also a jackal, the jackal is strong, that is, it bites us a mouthful of meat, and it hurts for a while at most, but if the poisonous dragon reacts, it can swallow us in one bite, and then we can't even resist, Your Majesty, we would rather move Sun Chuanting than move Zuo Liangyu." ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen clenched his fists, thought for a while, and said, "What Yang Aiqing said is that it is better to recruit Sun Chuanting into King Qin. ”

After saying this, all the ministers stopped talking, and at this moment, Xue Guoguan, the second assistant of the cabinet, who had not spoken, spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to nominate a person, if he can come to King Qin, the Tartars are not invincible." ”

As soon as Xue Guoguan's words came out, everyone around looked at Xue Guoguan and thought, do you old man have any treasures at the bottom of the box?

At this time, Chongzhen also became interested, looked at Xue Guoguan and asked, "Who is Aiqing talking about?" ”

Xue Guoguan said slowly at this time: "Lu Xiangsheng, the former governor of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Lu Xiangsheng!

Hearing this, all the people around frowned, this reputation is too great, the governor of Xuanda, and Lantian Li Chaosheng joined forces to defeat Jiannu Dolgon, snatch the Naturalization City, and kill thousands of Jiannu, which can be called the biggest victory since Ningyuan's great victory.

Immediately followed by Lu Xiangsheng, he participated in the battle to suppress Gao Yingxiang's peasant rebels, and together with Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, the three of them killed Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, and defeated the thief Li Zicheng, which can be said to be a great achievement.

It's a pity that Lu Xiangsheng's father died not long ago, and Lu Xiangsheng went home to worry about Ding and left the Ming officialdom by himself.

As soon as Xue Guoguan said this, Yang Sichang frowned slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu has made great achievements, but since ancient times, filial piety is greater than the sky, and Lord Lu has not yet come home to worry about the day, I am afraid it will be difficult to serve Your Majesty." ”

Xue Guoguan looked at Yang Sichang at this time, thinking that he had accepted a piece of Hetian jade wall from Hong Chengchou, and said that he wanted to intercede for Lu Xiangsheng, he couldn't just take things and not do anything, thinking of this, Xue Guoguan said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the prince of heaven and earth has been a teacher, and the king is in front of his relatives, and now it is a national crisis, and the husband should put the country first, Lord Lu must be able to understand, it is better for His Majesty to make an order to win love, let Lord Lu enter Beijing as soon as possible, or lead the army to block the Tartars, and don't let the Tartars continue to wreak havoc on the people." ”

Chongzhen was quite moved when he heard this, he still knows Lu Xiangsheng, he is good at military affairs, and he is also loyal to himself, so he can use it.

Just when Chongzhen was swaying, Yang Sichang's eyes flashed, Lu Xiangsheng was his political enemy, and he finally waited until Lu Xiangsheng's father died, and he was worried when he went home, and now this old man actually wants His Majesty to win love, and how should he deal with himself after winning love, won't the good situation he created be wasted?

Thinking of this, Yang Sichang's face sank like water, and he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty." ”

"Huh?"

Chongzhen's eyes looked at Yang Sichang, Yang Sichang looked at Chongzhen at this time and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu is working hard for the country, and my father is newly mourned, if you take love, it will be against filial piety." ”

Yang Sichang first occupied a commanding heights in morality and continued: "Secondly, the Ming Dynasty is not Lord Lu alone is a person who can fight, and the minister is not a person who does not know soldiers, and the minister can also lead troops to resist the enemy, and even if the minister is not good, the minister can also protect one person, that is Sun Chengzong, who is idle at home, Lord Sun, Lord Sun has been fighting in Liaodong for many years, Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong, etc. were all his subordinates, and now the defense line in Liaodong is also built by Lord Sun, his ability should be far above Lu Xiangsheng, why did Your Majesty abandon such a virtuous minister, Instead of trying to win the love of Lord Lu, don't allow Lord Lu to be filial? ”

Chongzhen was a little moved when he heard this, Sun Chengzong is still more capable, which Chongzhen knows.

, Xue Guoguan said at this time: "Your Majesty, what Lord Yang said is very true, Lord Sun does know the soldiers, but Your Majesty, Lord Sun is old, I am afraid that he will lack energy and be difficult to cope with such an intense war, and Lord Sun has been idle for several years, and he doesn't know what his physical condition is, so he rashly uses it, I am afraid it will backfire. ”

Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, what he said made sense, Sun Chengzong is old, and his physical condition is not very good, at this time, it is indeed a bit difficult to use him, and fighting a war is not only about military talent, physical strength, knowledge, and physical condition.

It's still Lu Xiangsheng, although Yang Sichang also knows the soldiers, but there is no proud record after all, and it is reassuring to not have a record like Lu Xiangsheng who fought the battlefield.

Chongzhen was a little moved, Yang Sichang also saw that Chongzhen was a little moved at this time, and he was shocked, this is not good, it is not easy for Lu Xiangsheng to come back and want to drive away, thinking of this, Yang Sichang hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fist and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng can't be loved." ”

Hearing Yang Sichang's abrupt words, everyone present frowned slightly, Liu Yuliang looked at Yang Sichang, thinking that this was too much to sink, no wonder he couldn't enter the cabinet.

Xue Guoguan was also a little displeased, this Yang Sichang was too much, he accepted Hong Chengchou's gift, he didn't do it, how much impact did it have on his official reputation.

Thinking about Xue Guoguan, he looked at Yang Sichang and said: "Lord Yang, we all know that you and Lord Lu do not have a good relationship, but when is it now, the Tartars have all hit Tongzhou, and they are about to enter Beijing, is it time to mention personal grievances, Lord Yang still has a family and country in his heart!" ”

Xue Guoguan showed no mercy in his words, Chongzhen also looked at Yang Sichang, his eyes were not good, at this time Yang Sichang was difficult to ride a tiger, and seeing that the form was too unfavorable to him, he knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Feichen intends to get along with Lu Xiangsheng, it is really Lu Xiangsheng who is good friends with Lantian!" ”

Rumble!

Hearing Yang Sichang's words, it was a heavyweight bomb, which directly blew Chongzhen into a daze, frowned and said nothing.
