Originally, Wang Jinlong also wanted to find an opportunity to talk about history with Zhu Youzhen, so that Zhu Youzhen could take it as a warning, but now, since Zhu Youzhen asked, now it is an opportunity, so Wang Jinlong decided to tell the truth and give Zhu Youzhen a head start.

Wang Jinlong felt that this Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen had a lot of advantages, but there were more flaws, and it was indeed very fatal, if he didn't let him know that history was educated, I am afraid that it would not be easy to change his course.

The most important thing is that the Ming regime is already on the verge of life and death, and no one can change it, if anyone has to say that anyone can change it, only Emperor Zhu Youzhen. The current situation is that one wrong step is hard to do.

Wang Chengen brought a plate of red bean cake, not much, apparently Emperor Zhu Youzhen ate the leftover supper, just put it on the table, Wang Jinlong picked up a piece and ate it, but his throat was dry and almost choked to death.

Wang Chengen always felt that Wang Jinlong was a little different from others, but now he understands that this kid lacks respect for the emperor, and he doesn't know awe when he sees the emperor.

This is quite admirable to Wang Chengen, a little show who entered Beijing for the first time actually saw the emperor and didn't know how scared, how bold do you say this should be?

He doesn't know if this Wang Jinlong is really stupid or fake, in short, such an attitude is absolutely not good, many people will go to him when they see him, and they want to be an official in the court, you dream.

"Your Majesty, originally, the grass people didn't want to say it, but since the emperor asked, the grass people couldn't help but say it, otherwise, they would have committed the crime of bullying the king. To tell the truth, if it weren't for the grass people who blocked Jiang Hao and Wang Chengyin's surrender, ten days later, you, the Ming Dynasty, would have perished. ”

Zhu Youzhen's heart tightened when he heard this, and after Wang Chengen was stunned for a moment, he went up and kicked Wang Jinlong, "Little rabbit, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

Wang Chengen then wanted to kick Wang Jinlong, but he was ruthless in his heart, little rabbit cub, I let you talk nonsense, I will kick you to death.

Zhu Youzhen stopped Wang Chengen, "Chengen, let Wang Aiqing say, I want to hear it." ”

Wang Jinlong, who had already jumped up to dodge, glared at Wang Chengen, "Old Wang, you old bastard!" How did you suddenly become a mad dog? ”

Hearing this, Wang Chengen's lungs were about to explode, good boy, who saw us Wang Chengen was not polite, you kid called me Lao Wang before, I don't care about you, now, I dare to say that I am an old miscellaneous hair, how can this be reasonable! I'm!

However, in front of the emperor, Wang Chengen really couldn't have a seizure.

Wang Jinlong sat down again and picked up another piece of red bean cake.

Wang Chengen was simply angry, you rabbit cub, do you think this is in your house, the emperor asked you to speak?

Zhu Youzhen knew that Wang Jinlong was indeed hungry, otherwise he couldn't do this, he didn't blame Wang Jinlong for being rude in front of him, but felt that Wang Jinlong was really sincere.

Wang Jinlong said while eating, "Your Majesty, the grass people are studying history, and what they say is historical records, and they definitely dare not have the slightest lie, if it weren't for the grass people intercepting Jiang Jiu and Wang Chengyin's people, the Ming Dynasty would indeed die in ten days, and the exact time was the early morning of March 19." ”

What's going on? , Zhu Youzhen was shocked, what Wang Jinlong said has a nose and eyes, and even said the time so accurately, is it true?

"Your Majesty, after Li Zicheng slaughtered Ning Wu on March 1, he was ready to move his troops and retreat, he was indeed scared, you think, General Zhou Yuji killed more than 70,000 of his men with only 6,000 men, Jiang Jiu in the north has 50,000 or 60,000 horses, Li Zicheng must have heard that the border army is the most effective force in the Ming Dynasty, you say, can he not be afraid?"

Zhu Youzhen nodded, "What you said is reasonable." ”

"Hey! It's just that Jiang Jiu is a soft egg, Li Zicheng has not yet opened, Jiang Jiu sent a book to the table, the next day Wang Chengyin not only sent the book to the table, but also sent someone to meet Li Zicheng, you say, what will Li Zicheng do? ”

"Of course, the original historical grass people did not come, so there is no such thing as intercepting Jiang Hao and Wang Chengyin's messengers."

"On March 5, Li Zicheng arrived in Datong, and on March 8, he occupied Yanghe, and on March 11, the Dashun army marched into Xuanfu."

"At that time, Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanzhou, heard that Li Zicheng was going to fight, so he called on the people to go to the city to defend, but no one listened to him, Zhu Zhifeng went to the city to see, the ignition hole of the cannon was riveted to death with iron nails, and some people shouted to take him down and dedicate it to Li Zicheng to invite merit, Zhu Zhifeng knew that the general trend had gone, so he kowtowed in the direction of the capital, and then committed suicide with a sword."

Zhu Youzhen was shocked and said silently: "Zhu Zhifeng is a loyal minister, and I want to treat his descendants well." ”

"It is said that Li Zicheng entered the Xuanfu, and the whole city was in an uproar, and he burned incense to welcome him, Your Majesty, do you know why? Because you don't know the suffering of the people, the three salaries are increased, and the people are miserable, and there are even corrupt officials who take the opportunity to expropriate and make a lot of money, can the people not lose their hearts? ”

"Also, Li Zicheng can grab wherever he goes, why can he still respond to every call and never lack soldiers? That's why it's because of this! ”

As soon as Wang Jinlong's words came out, Zhu Youzhen was stunned and silent, it turned out that he not only did not give the people benefits, but also added a lot of mattresses to the people out of thin air! Stolen officials, when they are relieved, they must be cleaned up.

"Hearing that Li Zicheng is invincible all the way, the Beijing division is in chaos, everyone knows that the current people in the capital can not resist Li Zicheng at all, some ministers persuaded the emperor to tour the south, some suggested that the two princes be divided into important places, let the prince go to Nanjing to guard, and some resolutely opposed, the emperor you hesitated, so go to consult the opinion of Empress Yi'an, Empress Yi'an is strong and assertive, it can be said that the emperor can only be the only confidant who can put his heart in his heart, Empress Yi'an said: Your Majesty, you don't have the confidence to defend the capital, Aren't people's hearts scattered? How can this capital be defended? As a result, the emperor made up his mind to stick to the capital and decided to fight Li Zicheng to the death. ”

Wang Jinlong is right, that's what happened, Wang Chengen listened awkwardly, this Wang Jinlong is too unscrupulous, what does it mean that Empress Yi'an is the emperor's confidant? That's the emperor's respected sister-in-law, okay?

Wang Chengen wondered, could it be that the emperor and Empress Yi'an were recorded in history? Can't! Not many people know!

Wang Jinlong continued: "In order to strengthen the defense of the capital, the emperor urgently transferred Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Liaodong, Wang Yongji, the governor of Jiliao, Tang Tong, the general soldier of Changping, and Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, to defend the capital, and called on the bureaucrats in Beijing to donate money, and named Wu Sangui, Tang Tong, Zuo Liangyu, and Huang Degong as earls, and ordered Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong to also rectify the people and horses to come to Jingqin Wang. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, Wang Jinlong said well, this is all what happened a few days ago.

"Among these people, Tang Tong was originally in Changping, the closest, received the order, and rushed to the capital with his eight thousand men and horses, the emperor personally received Jia Mian, and rewarded Tang Tongbu with four thousand taels of silver, Wang Yongji is a coward, his soldiers are only three thousand, not only did not follow the order to the capital to enter the guard, and took people directly to Shanhaiguan to find Wu Sangui. Liu Zeqing is both a coward and a bastard, who received an order from the imperial court to enter the guard, and lied that he couldn't come on horseback. What's more, can he lead troops alone in Shandong? Liu Zeqing simply didn't want to come. This was not enough, this guy fled south with his soldiers, and robbed his troops along the way, almost slaughtering Linqing City. Let Wu Sangui enter the capital Qin Wang's order was issued on March 5, three days can be passed to Wu Sangui's hands, now, Wu Sangui should be retreating Ningyuan's officers and soldiers and the people, history records, March 8, Wu Sangui received the news to begin to retreat, March 15, the officers and soldiers and the people settled down, and then led 30,000 cavalry, 40,000 infantry into Beijing, before this emperor in order to envelop Wu Sangui, to Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang restored his official position, ordered Wu Xiangxiang to guard the capital, But what the emperor didn't know was that Wu Xiang was an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, and secretly wrote several times to tell Wu Sangui not to rush into Beijing, and to take it leisurely on the road. ”

Zhu Youzhen was shocked, "Why?" Why did Wu Xiang explain to Wu Sangui not to rush into Beijing? What does he want to do? ”

"Huh! Your Majesty, you are as kind to the Wu family, and people don't appreciate it! Wu Xiang, an old bastard, regarded the army in Shanhaiguan as his own family, and he wanted the other Qinwang army to start a war with Li Zicheng first, and then when the battle was almost over, Wu Sangui came to clean up the mess, and made meritorious contributions, and did not kill many people, and this was the calculation. The emperor may not believe it, I said a situation, the emperor believed, Wu Xiang had said to the emperor before, to let the soldiers of Shanhaiguan come to the king, it must be one million. ”

Zhu Youzhen became angry when he heard it, Wang Jinlong said it well, there is indeed something like that, "Wu Xiang! Old Puff! I'll catch him tomorrow! ”

Wang Jinlong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do this, you listen to me, Wu Sangui's Shanhaiguan troops are currently the most capable troops in our dynasty, and they shoulder the heavy responsibility of resisting Jianyu, what if you want to arrest Wu Xiang and force Wu Sangui to rebel?" Even if Wu Sangui doesn't rebel and doesn't listen to the greeting, what should I do? At this time, we must learn to endure and focus on the overall situation. ”

At this time, Wang Chengen was no longer angry with Wang Jinlong, and felt that what Wang Jinlong said was reasonable, "Your Majesty, what the little general said is right!" We must focus on the overall situation, endure it first, and talk about it later. ”

Zhu Youzhen let out a long breath helplessly, "You go on." ”

"Good!" , Wang Jinlong agreed.

"Let's talk about what happened in Juyongguan."

"Tang Tong is a mediocre talent, and when he was reading history, he wondered how he got mixed up with such a straw bale. Juyong Pass is known as the world's first male pass, there are many passes, the danger is very much, easy to defend and difficult to attack, from Xuanfu to Juyong Pass there are only two small roads that can be used for a single person, people with a little military acumen know that as long as two or three hundred soldiers are sent to guard each in Liugou and Badaling, Li Zicheng does not want to reach Juyong Pass. But Tang Tong just didn't send people to guard these two dangers, what is even more annoying is that relying on the strong city defense of Juyong Pass, it can also block Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses, relying on the artillery on the city wall and the strong urn city, not to mention how many people and horses to eliminate Li Zicheng, there is absolutely no problem to block Li Zicheng, you think, Li Zicheng's people can climb the mountain over, and it is not so easy to transport grain and grass, as long as Li Zicheng is blocked for three or five days, Li Zicheng can't withdraw his troops if he wants to, with such a good support, Tang Tong doesn't need it, Li Zicheng's people arrive at Juyong Pass, he took the soldiers out of the customs and went to fight with Li Zicheng in the field, do you think there is something wrong with his head? Definitely kicked by a donkey. ”

He didn't want to think about it, he only had 10,000 horses when he was full, but Li Zicheng had an army of hundreds of thousands, and he only had a few generals? Li Zicheng has dozens of generals with names and surnames, is this bold? Or is it beyond your means? Just when Tang Tong and Li Zicheng's people were inseparable, Du Xun, the supervisor who had secretly contacted Li Zicheng, opened the city gate and let Li Zicheng's people enter the customs. ”

Zhu Youzhen was shocked, it turned out that Juyongguan was so lost.

Wang Chengen was even more shocked, Du Xun, who let Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses enter the customs, was his apprentice, and he was also the celebrant eunuch who the emperor valued very much, "Why did Du Xun defect to the enemy?" ”

Wang Jinlong looked at Wang Chengen, who was extremely surprised, "Hehe! Wang, do you think your men are as loyal as you? If it weren't for Wang Zhixin's encouragement, maybe Jiang Jiu would not have surrendered to Li Zicheng, Wang Chengyin's surrender to Li Zicheng was discussed with Du Zhizhi before he decided to send someone to greet Li Zicheng, and that Gao Qiqian, do you know what he is doing? The emperor sent him to Shanhaiguan to supervise the army, but he hid in the capital and didn't go at all, and finally he was scared, and it was not a way to hide, and now he was only on the way to Shanhaiguan. ”

As soon as Wang Chengen heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of Zhu Youzhen, "Your Majesty, the old slave should die, the old slave didn't expect these bastards to be like this." ”
