224 The Ming army on the west road cooperated with the defeat and escaped with the main force first

The most disgusting thing about the old Zhu family is that the Daming treasure banknotes are only issued and not recycled.

That is, the emperor can take the treasure money to exchange for the grain, cloth, and silk produced by the common people. But when the people wanted to pay the tax with the treasure money, the emperor told the people: I'm sorry, I don't collect the treasure money.

So the question is, the emperor himself doesn't collect treasure money, so why do you issue it?

This is the real master selling cub Tian is not distressed, Taizu and Taizong's waste paper is exchanged for real things, but it is cool. As a result, the credit of the treasure banknote collapsed, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Tianqi and Chongzhen were even more unlucky to fall to their grandmother's house.

I don't want to know, as soon as I thought about it, Zhu Qiyu found out: These emperors in the early Ming Dynasty dug pits for future generations one by one.

Not to mention the pile of bad debts left by the good saint Sun in front of him, Zhu Qizhen, who is hunting in Datong, is also a master of death.

Not to mention the big pit dug by Tumubao, after the restoration of Zhu Qizhen, after tossing the Warat of Western Mongolia, he went to toss the Tatars of Eastern Mongolia.

In the end, the Tatar Ministry was allowed to divert from Shaanxi to pay tribute, and then these people stayed in Shaanxi and occupied the Hetao of the Ming Dynasty, forming the main border trouble in the middle of the Ming Dynasty: the Hetao Trouble.

Zhu Qizhen dug the second biggest pit in his life, and Chenghua wiped it bitterly for more than 20 years, wasting countless national strength, and did not wipe Zhu Qizhen's ass clean.

Zhu Qizhen is a typical example of being ambitious and talented, and he doesn't remember to eat or fight, which is a little worse than Emperor Chongzhen. Even Chongzhen still knows that he will grow wise by eating a trench, and he must quickly kill the most loyal minister under Huang Taiji.

So even if it is completely from the public heart, it is impossible for Zhu Qiyu to return the throne to this scourge.

As for Wang Zhen and the first temple to be built, that's all a small section. It may or may not be pursued.

Fortunately, Chen Xun, Wang Wen and others don't care about this, as long as the emperor promises not to miss everyone's money, then there is no problem.

Zhu Qiyu sent the ministers away, and went back to the room early to play.

For the next two days, nothing happened. Zhu Qiyu only ordered the inner court to immediately allocate one million taels of internal funds to the household department.

Tobe also acted very quickly, and soon sent the emperor's bounty.

Whether it is the minister of civil and military affairs, or the ordinary soldiers below, they all praise the emperor. At least verbally.

Zhu Qiyu is now leading the Beijing division to win a great victory, turning the tide, and there are cronies such as Lian Gang to vigorously publicize, and now his prestige is great, and no one dares to oppose the emperor on the surface.

And now the emperor, who has become the backbone of the people in the capital, is not arrogant, impatient, unassuming, and comes to hide in a small building to become unified.

The emperor rarely showed his face and rarely interfered in specific government affairs. On the contrary, the ministers were more proactive, working more and more energetically, getting up early and working late every day.

In fact, these ministers who have worked hard in the cold window are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, they are only afraid of the emperor's blind command. Now that there is an emperor who does nothing, everyone is very happy.

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and on the eighth day of the first month of November, the Yexian army, which had already plundered three days' rations, began to move separately, all the way to attack the Baoma Pass, and all the way to attack the Bauhinia Pass.

But he also led the army to the front of the Bauhinia Pass, just walked around and observed, and then gave up the attack.

Just because the Bauhinia was closed, 20,000 soldiers of the Ming Army suddenly appeared. I can't figure out where this came from, but I will also eat a trench and grow wise, and I will not attack the city again.

20,000 people defending the city and 15,000 people attacking the city make no sense at all.

In three days, it is impossible to fight. After three days, the food will be exhausted, and the chasing army will come, and when the time comes, it will be called that the heavens should not be in order, and the earth will not be spiritual.

So it was very realistic at first, just took a few glances at the city wall of Bauhinia Pass, and then withdrew.

This made Zhao Xuan, Gu Cong and others who were guarding the city very helpless, the emperor had already given a death order, and they were absolutely not allowed to leave the city. Now no one dares to disobey the emperor's edict, let alone the emperor's personal guards, so Zhao Xuan and the others watched and withdrew first.

He also marched day and night, and after a day and a half, he arrived at the bottom of the Fallen Horse Pass.

The division, which had already been in a hurry to take down Maguan for two days and nights, was in Wara, and after the arrival of the main force with the first lead, the morale was greatly boosted, and the offensive became more fierce.

The 10,000 defenders led by Sun Xiang and Han Qing were originally devoted to the emperor, and the defense system of the Fallen Horse Pass was not complete, and finally after holding out for three days and nights, the Ming army was defeated and the city pass was broken.

Sun Xiang and Han Qing were killed in battle, and the Ming army scattered and fled.

And Warat also lost his troops and paid the price of more than 2,000 casualties.

The number of men in the first army was reduced to 25,000.

Therefore, he didn't dare to stop for a long time at the Reverse Horse Pass, and after sweeping away the grain and grass materials on the pass, he waved westward and returned to his home Shanxi.

On November 12, just one day after the departure of Yexian's army, Shi Heng led his army to Baomaguan.

So Shi Heng, Sun Bo, Liu Yongcheng, Jin Ying, Xing'an, Cheng Jing, and Yang Shan began to get together to discuss the next step.

First of all, Shi Heng said with remorse: "Guo Jia Youyun: The soldiers are fast. It's a pity that we made a mistake, the emperor garrisoned 20,000 troops at Bauhinia Pass, blocking the main force of Yexian for us.

If we had arrived in time, we could have flanked the front and back, and eliminated them in one fell swoop. But our 100,000-strong army dragged on and slowed down.

This is good, not only missed the God-given opportunity, but also brought tired of the fall of the horse pass and was helpless, and finally lost, and Fang also successfully returned to Shanxi first.

Your Majesty's previous strategic plan has completely failed, so let's just wait for the decree to be reprimanded. ”

After hearing Shi Heng's words, the most ugly face was Jin Ying. As the first eunuch in the inner court, he was sent by the emperor to supervise the army, but as soon as he came up, he was unfavorable. Now wait to be cleaned up by the emperor.

But Xing'an on the side didn't think so, but urged everyone: "The main task given to us by Your Majesty is to rescue the Emperor.

The Warat army was short of food and could not last, and now that the weather was cold, they would definitely have to rush back to Datong to rest.

So we accelerated the march and went to Datong City with an army of 100,000, and then it was okay to fight a decisive battle with Ye. ”

Sun Bo replied: "If this can really be done, why should we be upset. After the Reverse Horse Pass, there are large areas of mountainous areas on the road ahead, and once the army is ambushed, it will immediately be another battle of Yanghekou. ”

Xing'an also replied unconvinced: "The Wara army is sleepy and lacking horses, and there is a shortage of food and grass, so where do you still have the heart to fight an ambush war." As long as you are not stupid, you will definitely rush to Datong to rest first. ”

Shi Heng and Sun Bo wanted to act conservatively, but Jin Ying and Xing'an were afraid that they would also quickly retreat to the grassland first, and were anxious to go to Datong.

The two sides are at a stalemate, and no one can convince anyone.

Liu Yongcheng and Cheng Jing did not say a word and did not want to participate in the quarrel.
