Since he was knighted, Shi Heng has been like a different person, and he has worked very hard.

The reason is nothing else, just because I want to add four words to my title - "hereditary replacement".

Of course, it would be better if he could become Wu Qinghou.

As for Guogong, Shi Heng didn't think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Now his biggest goal is Wu Qinghou's hereditary replacement, he never thought that he could be knighted before, it was Zhu Di who suddenly gave him hope for this Wu Qingbo.

Shi Heng then felt that I could also have a knighthood!

Now the first thing Shi Heng does when he gets up every day is not to clean his face, but to inspect the various sections of the city wall, because in his opinion, the rougher the general, the better it can cause a good response in the hearts of the soldiers.

After all, the soldiers below don't have much time to care about the image.

If the master of the house is a little white face, the soldiers will definitely not be convinced.

This detail also shows that from this day on, Shi Heng really began to regard the defense of Beijing City as an important matter of his life, and he began to pay attention.

"Lord Yu is here so early?" Shi Heng got up early in the morning, and as soon as he entered the tent, he saw Yu Qian, who was wearing a suit of armor, looking at the map hanging on the wall.

"Well, sit down!" Yu Qian turned around, and the dark circles on his face startled Shi Heng.

He casually asked, "Didn't Lord Yu sleep last night?" ”

"Since the news of the mutiny came back, I haven't slept well all night, and now when I close my eyes, I can see the corpses of my Ming soldiers in the Tumu Fort, trampled by the Wara cavalry."

"The wails of hundreds of thousands of unjust souls echo in my ears all day long!"

"Say, how can I sleep?"

Yu Qian sighed and continued: "I went to the city last night, and many people couldn't sleep at night like me. ”

"The capital that used to sing and dance is now mourning!"

Shi Heng didn't feel anything special after listening to him, but he felt in his heart that this guy could really pretend.

As for it?

If you lose the battle, you just have to fight back.

Besides, that battle had little to do with them, it was all the reason why Wang Zhen's eunuchs and the Emperor Taishang commanded indiscriminately.

If you go up by yourself, you can't lose anything.

But thinking about it, did Yu Qian use this as a pretext to satirize his defeat and escape back from Datong?

"I've been thinking about it for the past two days, I also suffered a big loss in Deshengmen first, will I retreat?" Yu Qian pressed his hands on the sand table and leaned over to look at the situation on the battlefield, not paying attention to Shi Heng's eyes full of disdain.

"No, it won't." Speaking of the war, Shi Heng put aside his prejudices about Qian for the time being, and said: "With my understanding of Yexian, not only will he not just retreat, but he will definitely regroup and fight again." ”

"And I see, it's been just a few days."

Yu Qian nodded and at the same time, his eyes were firmly fixed on the sand table: "How are the guards at the city gates?" ”

Shi Heng said with a smile: "Now I have to go to each city gate several times a day, and six out of every ten soldiers guarding the city have divine guns, magic cannons, bowl mouth cannons, and all those who can be taken out are also erected on the city." ”

When Yu Qian heard this, he was a little relieved, and suddenly asked, "If you were also first, what would you do?" ”

"Me? I'll wait! Shi Heng looked at the layout of the nine gates of Beijing City, and said in a deep voice: "Although we have 220,000 people, there are nine gates in Beijing, which is too many. ”

"Scattered defense, each gate is only a maximum of 30,000 people guarded."

"If I were the first, I would wait until a night of thunderstorms or strong winds to attack, and as soon as a gate is exposed, I will immediately use the maneuverability of the cavalry to break through."

Yu Qian nodded, his expression solemn.

He walked out of the big tent, looked at the Daming banner hunting in the wind, looked up at the dark clouds at the end of the sky, and muttered: "Do you think that you will attack first tonight?" ”

Shi Heng was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that the wind was not in the right direction!

When I came in just now, it was still sunny, but in a blink of an eye, the wind was blowing, and the dark clouds at the end of the sky seemed to be pressing towards this side.

He was stunned and said, "You won't be a prophecy from me, will you?" ”

Yu Qian immediately walked out of the big tent and shouted as he walked: "You immediately summon the masters of all the sects to wait for me here, and I will go to the Fengtian Palace to meet Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to discuss urgent military affairs!" ”

......

At this time, Zhu Di was in the early court.

God is pitiful, Zhu Di never thought that the court could be so up.

In the previous life, Zhu Di liked the Shang Dynasty very much, because the Shang Dynasty made him really feel that he was an emperor and really guided the country.

Zhu Di also has a habit, he always likes to criticize something, to deter the ministers, most of the time it is to scold happily, and few people dare to fight back.

And there is also a crown prince Zhu Gaochi who is in charge of the bottom, and the big hole can also be filled.

But now it's different.

Now in the court, not only is there no one who can go to the bottom, but there is also a queen mother Sun Ruowei who likes to interject in everything and likes to spoil your business.

These important ministers of the court, who are regarded as the ministers of the humerus, mostly avoid the important when talking about problems, sprinkle and grind, and nine out of ten sentences are moral benevolence, and they can't talk about it for a long time.

Sitting here and listening to them go around in circles, Zhu Di was thinking in his heart, why is it that it has only been more than 20 years since my death, and Da Ming has become the ghost he is now?

The king is not a king, and the minister is not a minister.

Sun Ruowei, a demon woman, actually became the queen mother, riding on her head in a grand manner, thinking all day long not about how to repel Wara, but how to welcome her son back.

As for the great-grandson Zhu Qizhen who likes to call the door outside, Zhu Di can't even think of this name, as long as he thinks of it, he is so angry that he wants to cut people.

When people die, they seem to be themselves.

has lived two lives, especially now that there is a huge difference between the age of the heart and the age of the body, even Zhu Di, who is a little old-fashioned in his thinking, has to start reflecting now.

Could it be that I did something wrong?

Zhu Di, who was immersed in reflection, didn't pay attention to what a speech official in front of him was talking about for a long time, and suddenly Yu Qian walked in from outside the Fengtian Hall and shouted loudly:

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"

Zhu Di reacted and looked at Yu Qian.

"The minister and Shi Heng, the chief military officer of Beijing, analyzed and felt that they would attack again tonight!" Yu Qian took Shi Heng and stood on the Fengtian Palace, and now the two of them had put on a full set of armor.

"Yu Shangshu, how is the guard strength of my Jingshi right now?"

Yu Qian was stunned.

"There are 220,000 troops, but all of them are reserve troops, and the main force has already followed the Emperor Taishang's mourning division Tumu Fort!"

"Why is Your Majesty asking this?"

Yu Qian's words ruthlessly uncovered Daming's scars again, which made every civil official with different minds present feel ashamed and angry, but after all, it is now a matter of the overall situation, and it is impossible to stand up and criticize.

But as long as you are willing to wait, there is always a chance.

Yu Qian looked like he didn't care about the other officials' secret calculations, and continued:

"These 220,000 people are divided into the second-line troops of the three battalions of the Beijing Division, as well as the reserve army and the reserve army that the minister transferred from Henan, Shandong and other places not long ago."

"These people have not been trained, but the ministers have changed their uniforms and armor, and have mobilized a large number of ordnance and firearms from Nanjing, which have been equipped for the troops."

Zhu Di bowed his head, and had a general understanding of the current situation in the capital.

"Then according to the two of you, how should the capital be defended?"
