Chapter 127: The Liaodong Cavalry Enters the Beijing Division (Seeking to Book a Monthly Pass)

Since the defeat of Yuan Chonghuan and the 50,000 horses in the northeast of the mountain were blocked in Zhuozhou, the entire Beijing division began a major rectification.

Considering that the capital might be besieged by enemy troops, Yang Sichang suggested that all the displaced people in the capital be driven away.

On the one hand, it can prevent the spies of the Liaodong Army from mixing in and taking the opportunity to cause sabotage, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the population of the Beijing Division, and it can also reduce the consumption of food when it is besieged!

Nowadays, the people of Jingshi are panicked, and naturally all industries are depressed.

The southern officials of the DPRK and China have long since transferred their families and properties to Jiangnan.

Even the gentry in the north also transferred their family property to granges in Zhili, Shanxi and other places.

And outside the Yongding Gate and Guangqu Gate, the sentinels of the Liaodong Army have also appeared.

Fortunately, the Liaodong Army has not yet appeared on the northwest side of the Beijing Division, so the gentry of the Beijing Division are hurrying to transfer.

However, the people of Jingshi are still very calm, after all, the Liaodong Army is not a foreign race, and it is impossible to slaughter the people.

Under the advance propaganda of the Intelligence Department, Liaodong's policies of "apportioning the land into the mu" and "the gentry paying grain in one piece" were still supported by the broad masses of the people.

But at this time, the streets of Jingshi were full of brocade guards who were in charge of taking people.

At this time, the "God Operator" came to the gate of the British Mansion, and the family members of the Guogong Mansion saw that this person was not good-looking, short in stature, and looked like an ape, so they hurriedly drove him away.

Unexpectedly, the god operator said: "The British Mansion is about to be in a catastrophe, and the people of Jinyiwei have already seized the 'heaven and earth', and they are about to come to arrest the little grandfather Zhang Zhiji!" ”

The content of this "god operator" is really exciting.

Although they still didn't believe it, they didn't dare to slack off at this time, and they still let the "god operator" enter the Guogong Mansion!

The "God Operator" said to the family members of the British Mansion: "If the Jinyi Guards come, no matter what method you use, you must try to delay their entry into the mansion as much as possible!" ”

After the "God Operator" saw Zhang Zhiji, he took out a gold medal membership card of "Heaven and Earth", which was the agreement between Li Xianzhong and Zhang Zhiji, Zhu Chunchen and others.

Because "heaven and earth" was only superficially transferred to their names, Li Xianzhong will still have to get it back in the future.

And this gold membership card is the token of their agreement.

The situation is urgent, and the "God Operator" directly said straight to the point: "In Xia Song Xiance, he is now the person in charge of the Intelligence Department in the capital, Chongzhen has sent someone to seal up the two heavenly and earthly places in the capital, and all shareholders will be imprisoned, and Gongshun Hou Wu Weiying and others have been arrested!" ”

"Jin Yiwei's next target is the little grandfather, please prepare early!"

Zhang Zhiji couldn't believe his ears, his father Zhang Weixian held 80,000 Beijing battalions, accounting for more than half of the strength of the Beijing division.

Chongzhen actually came directly to arrest himself, is he crazy? Song Xiance said: "According to the news in the palace, while arresting the little grandfather, Chongzhen has already sent someone to invite the British prince into the palace in the name of "consulting the defense of the Beijing Division". ”

"Therefore, it is imperative that we prevent the British Duke from entering the palace!"

In fact, both Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, and himself have repeatedly persuaded their father to open the gate of Jingshi City and welcome the king of Liaodong County into the city!

It's a pity that my father has never been willing to bear the name of a "second minister"!

Sure enough, it was said by Chengguo, Chongzhen has begun to doubt us, even if we are loyal to Daming, we will still be suspicious of him.

In the end, Your Majesty will deal with us under the constant instigation of the ministers around you!

Zhang Zhi was extremely heartbroken, and said: "Mr. Song, for the sake of today, we must prevent my father from entering the palace, and please go with me, I hope it is still too late!" ”

At this time, a family member said: "Little grandfather, Jin Yiwei has come to get people, and he has fought with the family in the house, please leave the house quickly!" ”

Song Xiance also said: "Little grandfather, don't worry, there are many masters of the Intelligence Department outside the mansion, as long as we go out of the Xuanwu Gate, we can intercept them!" ”

The British Mansion is near the Xuanwu Gate, and when Zhang Zhiji and others left the mansion from the back door of the Guogong Mansion, they were really blocked by many Jinyi guards!

But fortunately, dozens of masters of the Intelligence Department who were hidden in the Beijing Division also appeared behind these brocade guards at this time.

After a burst of killing, their group still killed Xuanwumen!

Song Xinai, the guard of Xuanwumen, was Zhang Weixian's confidant general.

After Zhang Zhiji passed through the Xuanwu Gate, he quickly ordered Song Xi to close the Xuanwu Gate.

and seconded 100 sergeants on the city gate to rush to the "Fifth Army Camp" camp near Guangqumen, where Zhang Weixian was at this time.

When they arrived at the camp, Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the Beijing camp, had already arrived one step ahead!

But fortunately, Zhang Weixian has not yet left the camp at this time.

When Zhang Zhiji broke into the big tent, Gao Qiqian and Zhang Weixian were both surprised!

Zhang Zhiji said to Gao Qiqian: "Father-in-law Gao, I have a few words to say to my father, don't delay your business, right?" ”

Gao Qiqian knew that something bad was going to happen, but at this time he was helpless.

I had to say: "Please make a long story short for the little grandfather!" ”

Zhang Zhiji pretended to walk in the direction of Zhang Weixian, and when he passed by Gao Qiqian's side, he directly pulled out his saber and stabbed Gao Qiqian in the abdomen.

Gao Qiqian didn't expect Zhang Zhiji to kill him directly.

At this time, his two eyes widened, and he pointed at Zhang Zhiji with his finger, but he couldn't speak!

With a mouthful of blood spurting out, he finally fell to the ground unwillingly!

Soon, Zhang Zhiji's entourage slashed and killed the guards around Gao Qiqian!

Zhang Weixian, who didn't know why, scolded: "Ji'er, are you crazy, this is a felony of killing your head?" ”

Soon Zhang Zhiji knelt down and said: "Father, the child is not crazy, he is crazy!" ”

"Chongzhen was suspicious, and actually sent someone to Tongzhou to give Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Death, and now Zhang Fengyi and Chengguo Gong have been forced to rebel by him!"

"Not only that, but he also sealed the 'Heaven and Earth', and wantonly arrested us and other nobles in the Jingshi, and even Wu Weiying, the Marquis of Gongshun, was given to prison!"

"If it weren't for the child desperately breaking out of the Guogong Mansion, I'm afraid you and my father and son would not have the chance to meet each other in this life!"

Zhang Weixian is not stupid, how could he not understand Chongzhen's intentions after being a British duke for so many years.

While arresting his own son, he let himself enter the palace, if he really goes, the most optimistic is that he will be robbed of military power and imprisoned!

He shook his head helplessly, after all, he was still pitted by Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, and his son.

At this time, he noticed Song Xiance beside Zhang Zhiji!

Zhang Zhiji said: "This is Song Xiance, the envoy of the king of Liaodong County, it is he who rescued the child!" ”

Song Xiance said: "The British duke is unwilling to betray Chongzhen, Song admires it so much, and the prince can understand it." But the British public should not forget what happened to those who stood on the wrong side in the 'Battle of Jingjing' back then! ”

"Today's Your Majesty Chongzhen, mean, unkind, stubborn and self-serving, is really not the appearance of the Ming monarch, if the Ming Dynasty continues in his hands, sooner or later it will fall."

"Even if the prince doesn't make a move, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong rely on the big killer of "Juntian Exemption", I'm afraid it will happen sooner or later! ”

"Hongguang Tianzi has the edict of Lord Wanli, and the king of Liaodong County is edicted to rebel, so it can't be regarded as rebellion, right?"

Zhang Zhiji also took the opportunity to say: "Lord Wanli treats us very noble, and he loves silver so much that he has no idea of fighting in Beijing. How did the two brothers, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen, deal with us? ”

"Anyway, the child must follow the edict of Lord Wanli and respect Zhu Yousong, the son of Hongguang!"

Song Xiance continued: "Since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have not been suspicious, but suspicion is chaos. Therefore, if the king is suspicious, the minister will be punished, and if the minister is suspicious, he will be opposed. If the minister is suspicious of the king and does not oppose it, he will be punished for the king's suspicion; If the king is suspicious of the minister but not punished, the minister will be suspicious of the king and will be opposed. ”

"In fact, whether it is the king of Liaodong County or the British prince, there is no way out for a long time!"

Zhang Weixian was still hesitating, but Chongzhen had already made a move.

Yang Sichang led the Yulin battalion to attack the Xuanwumen, Zhengyangmen, and Chongwenmen controlled by Zhang Weixian.

The main body of the capital division of the Ming Dynasty was transformed on the basis of the capital city of the Yuan Dynasty, and finally formed the inner city, the imperial city, the palace city, and the outer city of the quadruple square city. The inner city was rebuilt on the basis of the big city of the capital.

There are two main ones: one is in August of the first year of Hongwu (1368), and the other is in the seventeenth year of Yongle (1419), which expands the southern wall of the inner city to the south for two miles.

The outer city was newly built in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, mainly because of the need to strengthen the defense of the Jingshi City.

However, the inner and outer castles of Kyoshi may not be the same as ordinary castles.

The palace city, the imperial city, and the inner city were built in the early Ming Dynasty, and they followed the way from the inside out.

The so-called "Nine Gates of Jingshi" actually refers to the nine gates of the inner city.

The outer castle of Kyoshi is actually a rectangular castle, directly to the south of the inner castle.

The three city gates of Xuanwu Gate, Zhengyang Gate and Chongwen Gate are just the city gates connecting the outer city and the inner city, which belong to the "Nine Gates of the Beijing Division".

Zhang Weixian's Beijing camp was actually stationed in the outer city.

The 30,000 Yulin battalion and the 20,000 new troops temporarily recruited were responsible for defending the inner city of the Beijing Division, and the 10,000 forbidden army was responsible for guarding the imperial city and the palace city.

So these three gates are very important.

Now that the military situation is urgent, Zhang Weixian can no longer hesitate, the Yulin battalion has advanced firearms, and although the Beijing battalion has the advantage of troops, it is probably not an opponent.

Previously, the focus of defense was on the outer city gates, and the three most important city gates were not many troops left, so he hurriedly ordered Zhang Zhiji to lead 30,000 people to these three city gates.

The reason why he didn't go in person was because he wanted to pave the way for his son.

Zhang Zhiji's performance this time is particularly decisive, he still leaves this "dedication to the city" to his son!

In the end, he himself opened the gates of Guangqu Gate, Yongding Gate, Yongding Gate, etc., and put the Liaodong Army outside the city into the Beijing Division.

Song Xiance hurriedly asked people to light wolf smoke on the city gate as agreed!

As the wolf smoke rose one after another, Hong Chengchou outside the city knew that it was done!

The Liaodong cavalry hurried into the city, but at this time their infantry was still some distance away from the Beijing division.

So Zhu Chunchen's 10,000 Shenji Battalion hurriedly returned to Beijing.

In fact, even if there was no military order from Hong Chengchou, Zhu Chunchen would immediately rush to Jingshi, he was afraid that he would be raided by Chongzhen!

It actually happened very suddenly.

Neither Chongzhen nor Li Xianzhong thought of it.

Jinyiwei is really unreliable, and he actually let Zhang Zhiji run away.

Originally, it was very easy to take down the Beijing camp, but I didn't expect to directly force Zhang Weixian!

Wang Chengen on the side comforted: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the Beijing camp is full of old, weak, sick and disabled, but Yang Benbing is led by the elite of the Yulin Battalion, and it will not be a problem to recapture a few city gates!" ”

But Yuan Chonghuan and Wen Tiren don't see it that way, even if Yang Sichang can recapture those three city gates, how can he resist more than 100,000 Liaodong troops and 80,000 Beijing camps with just the Jingshi?

The fall of the Kyoshi was already inevitable.

At this moment, Wen Tiren couldn't care about so much, he knelt on the ground and said: "Now the capital is in danger, in order to ensure the national capital of the Ming Dynasty, the minister Wen Tiren asks His Majesty to visit Nanjing!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly said: "The minister seconded the proposal, while the thief army has not yet besieged the Beijing division, Your Majesty hurried to Nanjing, and it will not be able to leave if it is too late!" ”

Wen Tiren didn't dare to mention the matter of moving the capital, this "patrol to Nanjing" actually everyone understands.

This matter must not be brought up by Chongzhen himself, someone must always say it for him.

The main thing is that there is no time to rangle now, and no matter how late it is, you won't be able to leave!

Wen Tiren had already thought about it, if Chongzhen's brain was really in the water and refused to leave, then he would take the opportunity to submit his resignation and leave by himself.

Although Zhu Yousong will not kill him when he comes, his political career is basically over.

The next step must be Li Xianzhong's control of the government, and with his Liaodong officials, he will inevitably be marginalized!

So for Wen Tiren, he can only follow Chongzhen.

In fact, after being fooled by Song Xiance that day, Chongzhen had already thought of moving the capital.

At this time, Wen Tiren proposed to go to Nanjing, which was a good opportunity.

After all, it was Zhu Yousong who called, and he did not lose the burden of his ancestors.

Chongzhen asked, "Could it be that Jingshi really can't hold it?" ”

How can the minister answer this?

If you want to say that you can hold it, then it's good, Qing stayed and stuck to the Beijing Division.

Wasn't Zhang Fengyi sent to Tongzhou by Chongzhen in the first place?

If you want to say that you can't hold it, you are shaking the morale of the army.

According to Chongzhen's nature, it will be difficult to cure you of a crime!

Wen Tiren and Yuan Chonghuan looked at Wang Chengen at this time.

At this time, Chongzhen was left aside, which was indeed a little embarrassing,

Wang Chengen said: "The slave maid remembers that the tomb of the Emperor Fengyang in the middle of the junior high school was destroyed, and His Majesty is extremely sad. I once vowed in front of the temple to go to the capital to worship in person on the day of restoration! ”

"Wen Shoufu, I don't know how the restoration of the Imperial Mausoleum in Zhongdu is going now?"

Wen Tiren hurriedly said: "According to the report of the governor of Fengyang, it has been basically repaired!" ”

Chongzhen hurriedly said at this time: "Fortunately, it was Wang Chengen who reminded me, otherwise I would have almost delayed the big event." ”

"Decree, I will leave Beijing on the same day to visit Fengyang, the capital of Xingzhong, and worship the imperial tomb!"

Wen Tiren waited for the amnesty, and hurriedly said: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

Outside the Xuanwu Gate, the competition between the Beijing camp and the Yulin camp has also entered a white heat!

The Yulin battalion, relying on the advantage of its own flintlock pistol, quickly gained the upper hand.

However, since the last "Wang Gongchang explosion", the armory of the Yulin Battalion has been moved to the outer city.

So at this time, they didn't have any siege equipment in their hands, only some simple ladders.

After all, they couldn't imagine that they would have to attack from the inner city to the outer city.

However, they still relied on the cover of flintlock pistols to attack the tower of Xuanwu Gate.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Beijing battalion is not good, these Yulin battalions are also new recruits this year.

Although the equipment is good, there is no actual combat experience, and the gap between the two sides is not as big as imagined.

Especially after the arrival of Zhang Zhiji's reinforcements, the two sides returned to a stalemate.

The Yulin battalion continued to attack, and the Jing battalion still controlled the city gate tower by virtue of its numerical superiority.

Just when the two sides were at loggerheads, the gate of Xuanwu Gate was suddenly opened.

The cavalry of the Liaodong Army rushed out directly.

This sudden scene frightened the besieging Yulin Guard!

Zhang Zhiji in the city hurriedly ordered the sergeant to shout: "The cavalry of Liaodong has attacked the Beijing division!" ”

Thank you for your monthly passes, recommended tickets, and follow-up support!

Today, I am playing outside for Christmas, so I will send 4,000 words first, and wish everyone a Merry Christmas in advance!
