Three days later, Jingshi, 10,000 empty alleys.

Around the entrance of the vegetable market, there are crowds.

"Who are you going to chop today?"

"It is said that it is the Jiliao Inspector, and it is still a scholar!"

"It should be killed, if it weren't for his incompetence, Jiannu wouldn't have been able to get to the city!"

"That's it, my second uncle's family is in Shunyi, and only one nephew escaped, and none of the others escaped, alas..."

"No matter what, we're here to buy meat, it is said that this live human flesh can cure boils when drunk!"

The citizens here are still talking, and the executioners on the other side have pushed the wooden torture equipment onto the high platform.

The audience suddenly erupted in cheers and cheers, as if they had seen some wonderful drama.

I saw that the traffickers were fixed to a vertical wooden plank, with their limbs wide open, and a black cloth wrapped around their heads.

There was a burst of boos from the audience.

One of the great pleasures of watching torture is to see the painful expressions of the victims.

Cover the head of the criminal, and this pleasure will naturally be lost.

"Take off the black cloth of the prisoner!" A citizen with a brain shell and layers of fat on the back of his neck shouted, causing a burst of joyful echo.

The executioner didn't answer, raised his knife and pointed coldly at the man, "Interfere with the torture of the Qin criminal, why don't you also come up to accompany him?" ”

The fat man's neck shrank back violently, and everyone in the audience was immediately silenced, and the joyful atmosphere disappeared.

The executioner explained loudly again, "Let the neighbors also know that the black cloth of the prisoner was designated by the master of the criminal department for the little one to wear on him." ”

"In order to make this collaborator who collaborated with the enemy and treason Yuan Inspector not know where the next knife is when he is stabbed, and he doesn't know when it will end, which is more painful than usual!"

When the stripped prisoner heard this, he writhed a few times, and his gagged mouth didn't know what he was talking about.

When the audience saw the painful performance of the prisoner, their desire to watch it was satisfied.

"Damn it!"

"The old man is clever!"

"The Emperor Shengming!"

There was a calm and peaceful atmosphere in the air, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

When the executioner began to execute, the audience cheered like thunder, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

In a restaurant with the best view of the torture scene, there were two people sitting.

It was Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan.

What was cut by a thousand knives on the stage was just a livestock that sold his property to raise gambling funds and did not hesitate to poison his biological parents.

Chongzhen took a sip of wine, and asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Inspector Yuan personally witnessed that he was cut by a thousand knives, how did he feel in his heart?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan was sneering in his mouth, and there was also a trace of anger on his face. "When the governor saw this scene, he didn't know what happened when he fought to the death with Jiannu outside the Guangqu Gate that day, and the arrows in the two ribs of armor were like hedgehogs!"

Chongzhen sensed Yuan Chonghuan's emotional agitation and explained, "The officials are looking forward to your death, the people are looking forward to your death, only I want you to live, do you know why?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan also noticed his gaffe at this time, and hurriedly said, "The minister doesn't know, but Your Majesty is gracious, and the minister is guilty!" ”

Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say polite words. It's just because I know that Jiannu has become a climate, and it is not a rabble thief, and it can be destroyed with a wave of his hand. The success of Jianzhou this time is because Outer Mongolia has gradually fallen towards them, so it can make a surprise attack on Guannai without leaking any news. ”

He sighed again, "On the other hand, my Daming border town, as the governor said, the reconnaissance was made blind by the Jiannu scouts, the defending city was rushed down by the Jiannu, and the field battles were easily annihilated, everything is not as good as people!" ”

"Therefore, today's defeat, even the defeat of Quang Ninh and the defeat of Sarhu, is a process."

"It is the corruption and weakening of my Ming court and military town at the collective level that led to the current situation, not the personal mistakes of the so-called two or three criminal ministers."

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, his heart fluctuated, and he only felt that what the emperor said was completely consistent with what he thought. "The emperor is really a blessing for the community. It's just that I don't know why the court and the princes blindly criticized the foreign ministers, forced Sun Gaoyang away, and unjustly killed Xiong Jingluo. As a result, the situation in eastern Liaodong has deteriorated to the point where it is today. ”

Chongzhen sneered, "Some people say that it is because of the party strife, and these people are the same party. ”

"Some people say it's because of jealousy, and these people are jealous of the virtuous."

"Some people also say that these people are simply stupid and incompetent, and they are even more unbearable, but they have a set of talking about others."

He suddenly looked at Yuan Chonghuan, "In the final analysis, these people are not responsible for the situation. By planting the pot on someone else's head, they can pretend that they have nothing to do and continue to live in peace. Wouldn't that be much easier than trying to figure out how to solve it? ”

Chongzhen raised his glass to Yuan Chonghuan, "You don't care about other people's discussions." Because in the end, the only person who is responsible for the situation is me. ”

"If you can defeat the enemy this time, I will be able to deter Mongolia and restore Liaodong, even if the people can rest and recuperate a little, it is good."

"If you can't, I won't be angry with others because of this, and I really cut you off."

"Because using you is my choice. I have no choice but to blame myself for having no eyes. ”

Yuan Chonghuan heard the loneliness in Chongzhen's words, his eyes were red with excitement, he took the wine, drank it and said, "Your Majesty, don't be arrogant because of your crimes. Every day can be learned, if I, Yuan Chonghuan, can't overcome Zunhua, I will die! ”

Chongzhen saw that Yuan Chonghuan had finally not looked like a scholar with his eyes above the top and his own heart in the past few days, and he knew that this chicken blood was enough for him.

For now, we have to let him take it, and he can't be too high before the big war.

So Chongzhen didn't answer, and asked instead, "Can Zu Dashou receive your secret letter?" Can the siege be arranged? ”

Yuan Chonghuan said, "Dashou has sent his henchmen to pick me up and collect siege equipment, once the news of "I" was cut down and spread to Jizhou, I will lead Dashou and the headquarters of Liao Town to pretend to 'rout' and surprise attack Zunhua. ”

After speaking, he was worried, "It's just that Jiannu will inevitably increase the offensive on the capital when he hears the news, I wonder if the soldiers and horses of the Beijing division are enough to protect it?" ”

Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "I have already announced that Changping's general soldier You Shiwei has entered Beijing, plus the troops of Datong and Xuanfu Town and the Beijing camp that came to help, there are more than 50,000 regular soldiers, and it is enough to guard the Beijing division." ”

There was no need for Chongzhen to worry too much about his own safety, and the accumulation of hundreds of years of a dynasty made the capital one of the strongest cities in East Asia at that time.

Jianzhou entered the army four times, but did not capture the capital, which shows the strong defense ability of the Beijing division.

Yuan Chonghuan immediately hit the snake with the stick, and said with a shy face, "In this case, I wonder if the emperor can even a few cannons for me?" After all, Zunhua City Gongwei Jizhen General Garrison Santun Camp, the city wall is towering..."

Chongzhen didn't have a good breath and said, "Yes, what other logistics requirements do you have, it's also accurate!" ”

Chongzhen was not worried that Yuan Chonghuan would put forward conditions to him, after all, this at least showed that the other party was seriously thinking about how to fight.

The only thing that worries Chongzhen is how to leave Huang Taiji, who was attracted over, in the vicinity of Jingshi, leaving enough time for Yuan Chonghuan to outflank him.

Historically, Yuan Chonghuan was not immediately chopped after he was imprisoned, but waited until the autumn of Chongzhen's third year.

However, as soon as Huang Taiji learned that Yuan Chonghuan was deprived of command and the Liaodong army was defeated, he immediately led people to besiege the city.

Subsequently, Chongzhen in history made an extremely stupid decision, granted Guiwu the strategy, and then urged him to go out of the city to fight.

These people built a very simple temporary fortification outside the Yongding Gate, and they were wiped out by the Jiannu group.

Bizarrely, Huang Taiji did not attack Beijing again, but continued to attack some cities in Hebei, and then turned around and returned to Liaodong.

This historical fact is the biggest reliance for Chongzhen to transfer the tiger away from the mountain and set up a plan for the son to dedicate his head.

What should I do now, catch that Huang Taiji and take the bait?

Chongzhen decided to think about the moment first, he glanced at Yuan Chonghuan, who was already a little uncontrollable, and said, "The superintendent is here, and I only have one word to give." ”

Yuan Chonghuan was stunned, and then immediately knelt on the ground to ask for orders.

Chongzhen patted him on the shoulder and said.

"If you don't live up to me, then I don't live up to you."
