363 Last Stand (2-in-1)
Emperor Zhu Qizhen wants me to stay as a companion?
After thinking briefly in his mind for a few seconds, Shen Yichen made a negative judgment.
A few days ago, the dialogue of "the society is important, the monarch is light" almost completely cut off the kindness of the monarch and the minister in the past, with Zhu Qizhen's arrogant and arrogant character, how could he still think of letting himself stay as a companion, but he couldn't wait to get as far away as possible.
Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, Zhu Qizhen made a statement of obedience to the other party's intentions under the coercion of Yexian.
But this point is irrelevant to Shen Yichen, once a son of heaven and a courtier, the emperor is just a emperor after all, and the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty is Zhu Qiyu!
"Taishi, this official is on the order of the Great Son of Heaven to send an envoy to discuss peace, and when the time comes, he will naturally have to return to Beijing to resume his life, and the Emperor Taishang has no right to stop it."
"If the Taishi has nothing important to discuss, then please open the camp as soon as possible, so that the official can return to Beijing for business."
Shen Yichen's attitude was very tough, and he didn't hesitate at all to take Zhu Qizhen's face into account.
The battle between the two armies is imminent, and the longer he is in the enemy camp, the more dangerous it becomes, Shen Yichen really can't guarantee that the Taishi will also be the first, and he will abide by the morality of the two countries not to fight, and he must get out as soon as possible.
In the face of Shen Yichen's statement, his eyes were also a little meaningful, he didn't expect Shen Yichen to treat the former king so decisively. But then again, this is the basic quality that a person who achieves great things should have, and indecisive people don't have the last laugh.
"Shen Shilang, what if Master Ben says you can't go back?"
At this point, there was no need for the Taishi to use Zhu Qizhen as an excuse, so he simply told Shen Yichen that he wanted to detain him.
Hearing Ye Xian's words, a cold smile appeared on Shen Yichen's face, and then he said sharply: "Taishi, if something happens to me and I can't return to Jingshi, this official can assure you that there will be countless Mongols to pay." β
"Are you threatening me?"
A cold light flashed in his eyes, he had been fighting for decades, and he had unified the three Mongolian tribes by himself, how could a hairy boy be frightened.
"Threats? I said it was the truth. β
"After two sorties, Taishi should have understood in his heart the difficulty of capturing Jingshi. There are millions of male divisions in the state capitals of the Ming Dynasty, and if you delay at the feet of the Beijing division for one more day, then the chance of retreating with your whole body will be one point less. β
"As the minister of peace, once there is any mistake in the Mongolian army camp, there is no possibility of peace talks between the two countries in the future, and with the prestige of this official in the army, you will face endless pursuit."
"I don't know how much Mongolian Erlang's life is planned to give to the official for the funeral?"
Shen Yichen stood at the height of history, and knew very well what the Mongolian tribes wanted, before they captured Zhu Qizhen in the Tumubao Incident, they didn't have any idea of capturing the Ming Dynasty at all, and they just wanted to plunder.
This kind of thinking even led to the victory of Tumubao, and the Taishi also pulled Zhu Qizhen to call the door first, wasting too much strategic time. But if his ambition swelled a little more, and his dream dared to think a little more, after the war, he led the army from Tumubao to the Beijing Division.
Maybe the current capital city of the Ming Dynasty has been renamed Yuan Dadu.

Taishi was not as confident as he showed at first, and he couldn't afford to give up the price of an entire generation of young and strong Mongolians to fight a bloody battle with the Ming army to cut off the back road.
In many cases, the reason why an empire can be called an empire is that it has the size and heritage that crushes all nations.
Now Mongolia is not the Great Yuan, let alone the super empire controlled by Genghis Khan, what will it do to exchange lives with the Ming Dynasty first?
Trapped in the enemy camp but daring to be so aggressive, he did look at Shen Yichen a little impressed, no wonder his sibling Zhu Ji was so jealous and afraid, and he couldn't wait to seize the opportunity to kill him on the spot.
In other words, if he is a mediocre master who is not spoiled, he may have really been shocked by Shen Yichen's momentum. But first of all, he is the once-in-a-century male lord of Mongolia, he has his own pride and heroism, and the descendants of the immortal heaven will never back down and give in!
"Shen Shilang, do you really think that this Taishi can't attack the Jingshi?"
He also asked a rhetorical question first, and then looked at the Jingshi city wall in the distance.
"This Taishi can tell you that several Mongolian armies have set out from the camp and will completely sweep away the Ming Kingdom's Northern Zhili and the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum."
"Either you will watch like a coward, your brothers, sisters, parents and compatriots will be slaughtered by my Mongolian army, and the mausoleum of the first emperor will be trampled by my steppe son."
"Or just like a man, go out of the city and have a life-and-death battle."
"Shen Shilang, which one do you think the Ming court will choose, and who will be the ultimate victor?"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and stared at Shen Yichen with a dead gaze, and the majestic temperament on his body completely burst out, as if solidified into a substantial burden, pressing on Shen Yichen's body.
This is the true power of Taishi Yexian, as a ruler who can fight the national fortune with the Ming Dynasty, no one can suppress its edge.
Not even Shen Yichen!
Hearing Ye Xian's words, the expression on Shen Yichen's face finally became solemn.
To be honest, he was not afraid of the Ming army's backs to the city and the Mongol army, after all, he was under the city wall, and he could still get firearms support from above the city wall, and he only needed to face the enemy head-on, without the worry of being outflanked.
But he also went to loot Beizhili and excavate the imperial tomb first, Shen Yichen was really worried that the imperial court would not be able to hold his breath, and he would take the initiative to find the Mongol army for a night battle away from the city wall of Beijing.
Without the city walls to rely on, the Mongol army will fully exert the mobility of their cavalry, and can unscrupulously divide the battlefield and surprise the Ming army formation from the flank and rear flank.
Not every Ming Dynasty soldier and horse can stabilize the formation like after the civil fort is broken. Often, all it takes is one collapse that triggers a chain reaction that triggers the collapse of an entire front.
If you lose again, maybe Jingshi really can't hold it.
Of course, it was impossible for Shen Yichen to expose the worries in his heart, and he replied in an ordinary tone as much as possible: "I'm afraid that the Taishi doesn't know, my military department is still in the Da Sima, and I have long expected that you will attack and harass Beizhili, and I have already transferred the people's materials in advance, and the Jianbi Qingye will not give you any opportunity to take advantage of." β
"As for the tomb of the Ming Emperor, if you want to dig it up, I'm afraid it will be no less difficult than capturing the Jingshi."
Shen Yichen's words were half-truths and half-truths, Yu Qian did transfer the grain and grass of Tongzhou and the people in the suburbs of Beijing, but the scope of the entire Beizhili was too large, and it was impossible to clear the wilderness in a short period of time.

But Shen Yichen knows, but he doesn't know first, soldiers are treacherous, and psychological warfare is also one of the factors that determine victory or defeat.
Sure enough, when Shen Yichen's words came out, he was a little bottomless in his heart. When he supervised the construction of siege equipment, he sent troops to demolish the houses of the people around the Jingshi, and it was already found that the people inside were empty, and it was obvious that they had been transferred in advance.
If what Shen Yichen said is true, and the entire Northern Zhili has completed the clearing of the fortified wall, then the situation will be extremely unfavorable to the Mongolian army!
Just when the two sides were speculating about each other's psychology, a Mongolian general walked in from outside the tent and said to Yexian: "Taishi, the Ming army is out of the city!" β
After hearing this, a smile appeared on Yexian's face.
"Shen Shilang, it seems that I won this time."
Faced with the scene that happened a few days ago, but the two sides changed positions, Shen Yichen also smiled: "I don't know who killed the deer." β
"Master, this is what you once expressed."
"Well, let's see who wins in the end."
After that, he turned around and walked out of Shen Yichen's camp first, he had to command the Mongolian iron cavalry and the Ming army out of the city to fight a decisive war!
Looking at Yexian's back in the distance, Bian He came over and said with a worried face: "The proprietor, the mausoleum of the first emperor is the foundation of the royal family, will the imperial court not be able to hold its breath and leave the protective range of the city to fight with the Tartars?" β
"I don't know."
Shen Yichen shook his head, in fact, he was not as confident as he showed in front of Yexian.
With Yu Qian's ability and strategy, he would definitely not order the Jingshi garrison army to go out for the sake of the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum.
After all, from beginning to end, Yu Qian's loyalty is not to the emperor, but to the world!
But Shen Yichen has been in the center of power in Beijing, and understands that the power struggle is involuntary, and it is impossible for the emperor to watch the ancestral emperor's tomb being excavated, which will challenge the legal basis of his rule.
Moreover, above the court, those who are loyal to the monarch are greater than those who are loyal to Sheji, who are the mainstream group of officials, but Yu Qian is an outlier.
The anger of the public is difficult to offend, and Yu Qian does not have the power to cover the sky with one hand, and it is very likely that he will be forced to take the initiative!
"Jingshi is in danger."
Bian He silently said these four words, the field Mongolian army occupies an absolute advantage, if this battle is lost, it may not be able to wait for soldiers and horses from all over the country to come to King Qin.
"I believe in Da Sima, I believe in the soldiers of the Jingshi, they will not be defeated."
Shen Yichen also silently recited that the defenders of the Beijing Division did not have a way out like the Tartars. For themselves, for the robes, for the Ming Dynasty, they can only sacrifice their lives to fight!
At this moment, the nine gates of the Beijing Division were opened, and 200,000 garrison soldiers and horses poured out, facing the Mongolian iron cavalry that also exceeded 200,000 in the distance.
If the Mongol army wants to give up the idea of plundering the outskirts of Beijing and digging up the imperial tombs, then it is necessary to throw more chips and force them to change their war deployment.
What could be a more tempting bargaining chip than the 200,000 Jingshi army going out of the city to meet the enemy?
Outside the Jingshi Desheng Gate, Yu Qian did not wear his second-grade military department Shangshu scarlet robe, but stood at the front of the army with his armor and stomach first, in order to show his determination to live and die with the soldiers.
"Close the gates!"

With Yu Qian's roar, the two incomparably heavy Desheng City Gates behind him slowly closed, and the same scene reappeared in the other eight gates. The 200,000 garrisons of the Beijing Division, including himself, had no possibility of withdrawing to the city.
Fight or die!
"The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the Tartars are right in front of you, and the ugly words of the official are said in front first."
"The generals who will ignore the army and retreat first, and behead their generals. The army does not care about those who retreat first, and the rear team cuts the front team. If this official is greedy for life and afraid of death, everyone can cut it down! β
Yu Qian's temperament and bloodiness are undoubtedly evident in these few words.
Before leading the army out of the city, he was ready to die on the battlefield, and entrusted the affairs of the military department to Wu Ning, the left attendant, in advance.
Since he was powerless to prevent the imperial court from making the decision to go to war, he had to sacrifice himself to serve the country, and Yu Qian would never abandon the Ming soldiers to live!
Listening to Yu Qian's words, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming army who followed the Deshengmen who went out of the city to fight, only felt a surge of blood in their hearts. What an honor it is to be willing to live and die with himself and others?
In the past, this kind of scene was only seen in Shen Shilang's body among civil officials.
"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, and when it comes to serving your family and country, Daming will never give up!"
Feng Zheng, the commander of the Fujian Galloping Army, was in the queue of soldiers and horses out of the city at Deshengmen at this moment. After several bloody battles with Shen Yichen, he has completely lost the refined self-interest of his generals, and has become a pure warrior, while winning the respect of his subordinates.
Hearing his roar, the soldiers behind him shouted one after another: "Daming will never give up!" β
The thunderous roar broke through the sky, making the Taishi who was miles away also feel a wave of impact. He didn't expect that the Ming army that went out of the city to fight could still have such high morale and morale, which was a world of difference from the group of lost dogs in Tumubao.
What did they really go through in a short period of time?
Yu Qian felt the fighting spirit of the soldiers behind him, turned around and continued: "If you pass, you will be punished, and your merit will also be rewarded." β
"Dare to be the first, get a thief alive, or behead one level, and the military and civilian officers will be promoted to one level!"
The rewards and punishments are clear, so that the people below can be truly convinced. In addition to the severe punishment for escaping, Yu Qian also said that as long as one Mongolian soldier can be killed or captured, the soldiers can be promoted to the next level!
As a soldier to fight, in addition to eating food is to earn military merits, Yu Qian's promise is released, which makes everyone feel inspired and courageous.
"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there, the Ming rivers and mountains will always be there, and the Ming army will be mighty!"
Han Bin, the commander of Shandong Wei, shouted out the battle call of the Ming army that has never stopped since Zhu Di.
What responded to him was the response of the 200,000 Ming soldiers of the Nine Gates of the Beijing Division.
"The Ming army is mighty!"
The monstrous battle horn finally sounded in the camp of the Mongolian army.
After Shen Yichen and the others heard this, they walked out of their tent and looked in the direction of the Jingshi in the distance, wanting to see the entire battlefield situation clearly.
It's a pity that the distance is too far, and all he can see is the faintly visible Jingshi city wall, and the lingering war clouds in the sky!

"The proprietor, listening to this voice, I'm afraid that the 200,000 troops of the Nine Gates of the Beijing Division have gone out of the city to meet the battle in advance."
In the initial pre-war deployment, there were 200,000 garrison troops of the Beijing Division who fought against the city, dragging the main force of the Mongolian army, so that the Southern Expeditionary Army and the Liaodong Army that rushed to the aid of the Beijing Division could complete the encirclement.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and the strategic deployment has been greatly advanced at this moment, and the Ming soldiers and horses have completely fallen into the situation of fighting against the water.
"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can it be as good as it should be, this battle of national fortunes will come sooner or later."
Just as Shen Yichen's words fell, Zhu Qizhen led Yuan Bin and Ha Ming out of another camp, and there were several Mongolian guards behind him.
Looking at Shen Yichen not far away, Zhu Qizhen's eyes were a little surprised, and then turned into anger and resentment.
"Young Sima, I didn't expect you to be here."
Shen Yichen began to guess right, what Zhu Qizhen wanted him to stay with was just an excuse that the Taishi also found first, and the main master didn't know about it at all.
In the face of the sarcasm in Zhu Qizhen's words, Shen Yichen always maintained his duty as a courtier, and arched his hand: "Weichen has seen the emperor. β
"What, did the Taishi also leave you behind first?"
"It should be."
Shen Yichen's tone was very calm, after all, he didn't have a choice.
"Okay, it seems that I and you have to continue to get along again."
This time, Shen Yichen didn't pay attention to Zhu Qizhen's sarcasm, but looked at the battlefield in the distance with a serious face.
Seeing Shen Yichen's gaze looking at the battlefield in the distance, Zhu Qizhen finally put away his yin and yang weird emphasis, and asked in a normal tone: "Are the defenders of the Beijing Division going out of the city to meet the Tartars?" β
"Hmm."
"Why are they going out of town?"
"The situation is compelling."
Shen Yichen didn't explain too much, the current Emperor Zhu Qizhen, to put it mildly, it is unknown whether he is on the side of the Ming Dynasty or on the Mongolian side, and the military aircraft is still on guard.
"If you can agree to the conditions of the Taishi to welcome me back to Beijing, you can avoid this military disaster and relieve the crisis of the Beijing Division!"
Zhu Qizhen said with some dissatisfaction, in his opinion, the two armies came to the point of decisive battle, completely because Shen Yichen was unwilling to compromise.
The land of the Ming Dynasty is vast, how about rewarding Mongolia with some silver money and treasures?
"Emperor, do you really think that if you pay the ransom to the Tartars, they will let you go back to Beijing?"
"Don't be naΓ―ve, only when you completely lose the value of blackmailing Daming, they may let you go back to Beijing."
At this moment, Shen Yichen can no longer maintain respect for the king of Zhu Qizhen, and he still wants to appease the enemy and go back at the time of the national crisis, which is simply a shame for the Ming Dynasty!
"Presumptuous, believe it or not, I will cure you for the sin of disrespect!"
Zhu Qizhen was furious when he heard Shen Yichen's words, even if he was in the enemy camp, everyone, including Ye Xian, maintained the courtesy of a monarch and a minister to him, why did he dare to commit such a crime!
"Emperor, if you can go back alive, let's talk about punishment."
Shen Yichen replied, he didn't have any fear of imperial power, he was purely under the roof, and he had to bow his head.
Now that the two of them are trapped in the enemy camp, everyone is each other, where can they be noble and lowly?

[I became a member of the Ming Dynasty] γγ
Shen Yichen's calmness made Zhu Qizhen calm down a bit, and he suppressed his anger and asked, "What are the chances of my Ming soldiers winning this battle?" β
"Ten percent."
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Yichen gave an answer.
"Are you kidding me?"
Zhu Qizhen replied coldly, what kind of joke is Shicheng?
"Emperor, do you really believe in the Ming soldiers?"
Shen Yichen turned his head to look at Zhu Qizhen and asked rhetorically.
Hearing this kind of question, Zhu Qizhen was speechless for a while, after the first battle of Tumubao, he subconsciously thought that the Mongolian iron cavalry was invincible, and he could only have his own way of life by seeking peace.
"As a king, how can soldiers win if they don't have the confidence to win?"
"The minister is the commander of tens of thousands of reinforcements and the defeated pro-conquest army, and I firmly believe that they will be the final victors in this war!"
