Chapter 75: The Battle of the Jingshi (5): Fishing in Troubled Waters
For Sun Chengzong, Wang Li still knows a little.
He is Zhu Youxiao's "old superior" and Yuan Chonghuan's "Bole" in his life;
He was ordered to build the Guanjin defense line, opening up 400 miles, 5,000 hectares of tuntian, and earning 150,000 stone of grain annually;
Because of party strife and Wei Zhongxian's exclusion, he dismissed his official position and returned to his hometown;
Gao Di, who succeeded him, withdrew all the Ming troops on the Guanjin defensive line, and only Yuan Chonghuan dared to disobey and stayed in the isolated city of Ningyuan;
Perhaps it was God's arrangement that Yuan Chonghuan, who stayed in Ningyuan City, injured Nurhachi with one shot, and his fame shocked the world;
Sun Chengzong's plan to guard the Beijing Division, Zhu Youzhen was quite satisfied, and asked him to sit in the Beijing Division and command the overall situation.
But it is very strange that the next day, Zhu Youzhen transferred Sun Chengzong to Tongzhou City.
Tongzhou, more than ten miles east of Beijing, is the last line of defense to block Huang Taiji's entry into Beijing.
Obviously, Zhu Youzhen trusts Sun Chengzong too much!
It's a pity that he ignored the terrain near Jingshi: as long as Huang Taiji is willing, he can bypass any city and go straight to the city of Jingshi!
Therefore, even if Sun Chengzong is full of cannons in Tongzhou, he still can't stop Huang Taiji!
Because, Huang Taiji is not stupid!
Let Sun Chengzong guard here, but it is Zhu Youzhen's psychological comfort!
So, Sun Chengzong led 27 cavalry to leave the Beijing Division, and guarded Tongzhou City together with Baoding Governor Xie Jingchuan, Yushi Fang Daren, and General Yang Guodong and others.
At this time, the Eight Banners are heading to Tongzhou!
Sun Chengzong didn't care about rest, didn't care about the danger, and rushed to Jizhou overnight.
Seeing Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chengzong was unceremonious, and he was scolded for splitting his head and covering his face.
"You supervised Ji Liao, but let the Eight Banners make a detour to Mongolia to threaten the Beijing Division, and there are countless people in the DPRK who impeached you!
If you want to live, you can only make up for your merits and stop the Eight Banners on the periphery of the Beijing Division!
Even if the Guanning Iron Cavalry is wiped out, the Eight Banners must be blocked!
As long as they don't go to the capital city, as long as they don't disturb the emperor, there is still room for your affairs to turn around! ”
Facing his old superiors and Bole, Yuan Chonghuan didn't dare to disobey at all, and nodded again and again.
According to his strategy of "blocking the Eight Banners on the periphery", Sun Chengzong also suggested that Yuan Chonghuan divide his troops to Sanhe, Xianghe and Shunyi to garrison.
In this regard, Yuan Chonghuan also nodded again and again.
So, Sun Chengzong was a little relieved.
However, at this time, Sun Chengzong had already forgotten Wang Li's words to the clouds!
At this time, Wang Li did not pay attention to Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, nor Huang Taiji and the Eight Banners, but the "treasures" around the Beijing Division!
"Grandpa Wei, what don't you dare? What exactly are you afraid of? ”
"Princess, you don't know my current situation......
"I'll go! You dare to even take the silver of the palace on behalf of the king, dare to kill the father of Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, dare to turn your eyes to Zhu Changxun, the blessed king, what else is there to dare? ”
"But...... It's different......"
"What's the difference? Grandpa Wei, don't be "but"! Huang Taiji has just passed Jixi, and he didn't rush to Tongzhou so quickly!
By the time the Eight Banners soldiers arrived at the city of Jingshi, it would be too late!
Besides, there is Huang Taiji to help "cover up" in this matter, and God doesn't know it! ”
Under hard persuasion, Wei Zhongxian still didn't dare to nod, Wang Li rolled his eyes, and continued to persuade:
"Grandpa Wei, although those guys are not as good as Zhu Changxun and not as good as the Dai Wangfu, they are not much worse, right?
One hundred and twenty "fortune boys", you are really not impressed?
If each "boy" offers a million taels, it will be 10,000 taels!
After the two of us are fifty-five points, each of us will be 50 million taels!
Grandpa Wei, can you earn so much if you work hard for another twenty years?
Such a great opportunity, what are you waiting for? ”
When Wang Li said this, Wei Zhongxian was slightly moved.
I was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on my forehead, but I still didn't dare to nod.
Wei Zhongxian, I really don't dare to nod!
Because, Wang Li's appetite is too big!
He fell in love with the important ministers of the court, the relatives of the Zhu family and the wealthy businessmen, the fields and mansions on the outskirts of the capital!
Wei Zhongxian's "anti-corruption work" for more than half a year has not caught a corrupt minister, but he has found out the assets of the ministers!
Putting aside the wealthy Jiangnan for the time being, just the fields and mansions of the important ministers and relatives around the capital are worth tens of thousands!
The "one hundred and twenty fortune boys" and "ten thousand taels of silver" in Wang Li's mouth are actually too conservative!
"Princess, it's not that I don't dare to do it, but it's too risky! If you don't pay attention, there will be no place for us to die!
Moreover, even if you get the land property deed, how to sell it is also a problem!
Last year, it took more than two months to help you deal with Qian Qianyi's real estate title deed!
This time, if you want to dispose of the real estate title deeds of one hundred and twenty "fortune boys", and you want not to be discovered, it will be difficult to realize it in thirty or fifty years! ”
"Grandpa Wei, you shouldn't think about the issue of "realization"!
What should be considered is how long it will take for Huang Taiji to kill under the Jingshi City!
How many people can you send and how many property titles you can get during this time!
Otherwise, you just take advantage of the chaos and leave the "realization" problem to me! We're still five or five!
Grandpa Wei, Huang Taiji doesn't come every year!
If you miss this opportunity, I don't know if you can wait until the Year of the Monkey to have such a "God-given opportunity"!
Grandpa Wei, you can't hesitate any longer!
Grandpa Wei, don't patronize and drink water, so you can say something! ”
"Phew!"
The tea bowl slapped heavily on the table, and Wei Zhongxian turned his heart sideways: "Princess, if I get the title deed of the real estate, how long will it take for you to realize it?"
The old slave is more than sixty years old, and it is impossible to wait for you for thirty or fifty years! ”
"One year! Up to one year! Wang Li was full of confidence, patted his chest and promised: "No matter how much you get, you will realize it all within a year!"
Moreover, God does not know the ghost! ”
"Princess, don't yin me!"
Looking at Wang Li's harmless face, Wei Zhongxian's back was cold, and he always felt unreliable:
"Princess, you have to think about it carefully: the old slave has not lived for a few years, and it's a big deal to "get a hundred"!
But, still young!
Warning, don't play tricks on me!
We're in the same boat!
As long as you dare to mess around, even if the old slave closes his eyes, there is a way to kill you!
So, you have to think about it! ”
"Grandpa Wei, if you say this, you'll see the outside!
When did I overshadow you?
Even if I yin the world, I don't dare to yin you!
Huang Taiji is about to be killed, this is our last chance!
If you miss this village, there will be no more this shop!
So, go ahead and do it! ”
……
Entering the customs from Mongolia this time, Huang Taiji's original intention was to grab some supplies for the winter, and he never thought of attacking Jingshi!
Leading the army westward is indeed a temporary intention!
After Yuan Chonghuan preemptively garrisoned Jizhou, the Eight Banners cautiously tried and slowly bypassed Jizhou City;
Yuan Chonghuan's blindness made Huang Taiji and the others all stunned.
Tongzhou is far from Jizhou, and the fast horse is up to one day away!
However, it took six days for the Eight Banners to completely bypass Jizhou and reach the vicinity of Tongzhou City.
At this time, Sun Chengzong in Tongzhou City was also stunned!
No, he's so angry that he gritted his teeth!
Six days!
Yuan Chonghuan has enough time to rush to Sanhe, Xianghe or Shunyi to set up defenses!
However, he was always stranded in Jizhou City, doing nothing!
Watching the Eight Banners swagger past the city!
Sun Chengzong was furious, but he maintained the sanity of a commander: he didn't rush out of the city, and he didn't fight with the Eight Banners!
Gradually, Sun Chengzong found that he was exactly the same as Yuan Chonghuan!
Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan's "cowardice", although the Eight Banners soldiers were puzzled, they did not forget their own nature!
They divided their troops into multiple routes, and frantically smashed and looted in Changping, Shunyi, Fangshan, Liangxiang, Gu'an and other places around Beijing!
The targets of their robbery are still grain, chickens and ducks, cattle and sheep, iron pots and women, and they have never thought of snatching the title deed of the property!
Of course, it's useless for them to rob it!
They didn't even know that the "Eight Banner Soldiers" pretended to be Dongchang Jinyi Wei had already snatched the real estate title deed!
No matter where these things are hidden, even if they are hidden three feet deep underground, the brocade clothes can be found!
While the "True and False Eight Banner Soldiers" were rushing wildly, Yuan Chonghuan's army finally followed and chased after him!
However, Yuan Chonghuan just followed from afar, only chasing and not attacking!
Always keep a distance of more than ten miles from the Eight Banners!
As a result, the Eight Banners soldiers, who were "inspired", robbed more and more frantically!
The surrounding area of Jingshi, the real estate homes of the ministers and relatives of the DPRK and the central government have all been looted!
Parents, wives, children, family servants, and countless people who have been killed or taken captive!
It's really grief!
This kind of crazy robbery lasted for five days!
On November 20, the Eight Banners Army had nothing to grab, so it gathered troops and horses and marched to Beijing!
Seeing this, Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly stepped up his horse, rushed ahead of the Eight Banners, and rushed to the Guangqu Gate in the south of the city.
Then they rushed to the Eight Banners and set up camp in the north of the city.
"Inspector, let's Guan Ningjun...... As is customary...... You can't camp under the castle of Kyoshi......"
"If you don't camp here, how can you defeat Huang Taiji? Pass on my military orders, set up camp quickly, and prepare to defend against the enemy! ”
"No......"
……
The Guanning army is stationed under the city, and the Jingshi city is fried!
In fact, five days ago, when the Eight Banners were robbing frantically, the Jingshi had already blown up!
Whether it is the princes and ministers or the market vendors, everyone is panicked!
All of them are cursing Yuan Chonghuan!
At this time, the main hall has become a vegetable market again!
The crying, the pleading, the accusing, the rolling, the death-seeking, the innumerable!
"Your Majesty! Yuan Chonghuan collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the evidence is ironclad! ”
"Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan colluded with Huang Taiji and robbed the soldiers, there was a sea of fire outside the capital city, and the bones were forested, and even the children were not spared!"
"Your Majesty, my mother was the first emperor's third-grade "Lady of Command", and she was stabbed to death by Jiannu with a sword;
Weichen's three sons and two daughters were also killed and abducted by the Eight Banners because of Yuan Chonghuan's defection...... How can this be...... Woowoo......
The emperor, if Yuan Chonghuan is not killed, Weichen will die in the main hall...... Woowoo woo ......"
"Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan and Jiannu must have colluded, and the evidence is ironclad!
Jiannu's ability to enter the customs from the south of Mongolia and burn, kill and loot outside the city of Jingshi was all caused by Yuan Chonghuan's rebellion! Your Majesty, please check it out! ”
"Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan is stationed in the city, this is already a rebellion!
He colluded with Jiannu and attacked the north and south in a few days!
If you don't catch it quickly, it will be difficult for Jingshi to keep it! ”
"Your Majesty! As soon as Yuan Chonghuan arrived at the city of Beijing, the Eight Banners soldiers were killed in a blink of an eye!
He is not only a collaborator, but also a leading party!
Your Majesty, if you don't kill Yuan Chonghuan, the Ming Dynasty will be difficult to protect......"
There was a commotion in the hall, and I had no idea who was talking.
This noise has been going on for five days!
Zhu Youzhen has long been upset by the noise!
However, he was always like a puppet, sitting on the dragon chair without saying a word.
Seeing Wei Zhongxian and Wang Li entering the palace, Zhu Youzhen was like seeing a savior!
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
Zhu Youzhen coughed repeatedly, and the hall was a little quieter.
"Princess-in-law, what do you think about Yuan Chonghuan's collaboration with the enemy?"
When the sound fell, more than a hundred pairs of eyes looked at Wang Li in unison.
"Long live the lords, my lords!" Wang Li bowed his hand to Zhu Youzhen and the ministers, and said: "The little slave thinks that it is impossible for Yuan Inspector to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason!" ”
"Fart!"
"Wang Ergou! Above the main hall, how can you be allowed to speak nonsense with your eyes open? ”
"Wang Ergou! You have a very close personal relationship with Yuan Chonghuan, so you will naturally help him speak! Could it be that you also colluded with Jiannu? ”
"Above the main hall, no noise!"
Zhu Youzhen shouted loudly, stopped the words of the ministers, and glared at Wang Li: "Princess, do you think that Yuan Chonghuan did not collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, is there a basis?" ”
