Wu Sangui was dressed in armor, standing on top of the city tower and looking north, from time to time he could see smoke and dust rising, he knew that it was the result of Jiannu training there.

The Daming Jingshi was surrounded, and the news had already been spread, and Jiannu had their intelligence channels, so it was not difficult to know this. Because of this, in order to prevent the defenders of Shanhaiguan from rushing to the aid of the Ming Jingshi, they began to make all kinds of small moves under the city, in order not to let them leave.

Wu Sangui can be said to know this. And according to his meaning, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, since the emperor is in danger, he should help him. But it's a pity that here in Shanhaiguan, it's not entirely up to him.

At this time, Wu Sangui was the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and it was also true that he was also the general of the Guanning Iron Cavalry. But he is not the only general in the Guanning Iron Cavalry, such a cavalry team of 30,000 people is actually commanded by three people.

These three are Wang Yongji, Li Yutian and Wu Sangui.

Among the three, Wang Yongji is the leader. It is because this person also has an identity, the governor of Jiliao.

As the governor of Jiliao, the supreme military governor of Liaodong at that time, Wang Yongji was the nominal number one leader in Liaodong and Shanhaiguan.

For example, whether to rush to the aid of Jingshi, the matter of King Qin, is also decided by Wang Yongji, not by him Wu Sangui.

"Mr. Fang, is there any news from Governor Wang?" Standing on top of the city tower, Wu Sangui, whose eyes were full of worry, spoke in the wind.

"Not yet, I'm afraid that the example of King Tang is ahead, and it is normal for Governor Wang to have concerns." Fang Guangchen, who was called Mr. Fang by Wu Sangui, was the son of Fang Yizao, the secretary of the Ming Dynasty. He has some strategic vision and is relied on by Wu Sangui as an important strategist.

Fang Guangchen's example of the Tang Dynasty refers to the large-scale invasion of Jiannu in the ninth year of Chongzhen, and the Tang King Zhu Jinjian himself led his troops to King Qin.

As a result, after the Qing soldiers retreated, Chongzhen deposed the Tang King as a concubine on the grounds that he had not led the troops into Beijing without an edict from the imperial court.

It is this case that has been in the first place, Wang Yongji has always been worried about whether to go to Jingshi Qinwang, and now that Jiannu Tartar is here again, he must have no confidence to go to Qinwang, because once Shanhaiguan is not guaranteed, even if he saves Jingshi, it will be a capital crime.

Hearing this, Wu Sangui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It is said that his father Wu Xiang and other clansmen are among the Jingshi, as a son of man, how can he not worry about their safety. In his opinion, after learning that the thieves had defeated Zhou Yuji, the general soldier of Shanxi, they should have sent troops back to help.

If I had gone back at that time, it would have been too late, but now it seems that it will be too late.

After all, with the distance between Shanhaiguan and Jingshi, even if he led Guanning Iron Cavalry to run, it would take at least six days.

Six days?

Can the Jingshi hold out for six days?

Wu Sangui was a little drumming in his heart, he didn't know about Zhu Changwu yet, and the news over there didn't come so quickly.

After all, it has only been three days since Zhu Changwu appeared in Jingshi.

"Chief soldier, the matter of the Jingshi is not what we need to worry about now, but the matter in front of us, we need to discuss it carefully." Fang Jianchen knew that Wu Sangui was worried about his family in Jingshi, why wasn't he like this?

His father, Fang Yizao, was in Jingshi, including his family. But it's really far away, and the whip can't reach it.

In contrast, the affairs of Shanhaiguan need them to worry about and face more, for example, when he got the news, Li Yutian seemed to want to seize the military power of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and wanted to kick Wu Sangui out, and only let him be the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.

In troubled times, whoever has the power of the army will have more right to speak, and even the right to survive.

Fang Jianchen opened his mouth, Wu Sangui naturally knew what he meant, so he shook his head slightly, and then said in a slightly contemptuous tone, "He is just a civil servant, and he is not afraid." ”

Saying this, it is not that Wu Sangui is arrogant, but that Li Yutian is only the governor of Liaodong. This position is naturally greater than his Shanhaiguan general in peacetime, but now, the country is in danger, and the status of Wenchen has declined very much.

If the generals don't bird him, he will be just an ordinary Ming courtier.

Seeing Wu Sangui say this, Fang Jianchen breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most worried about was that his general army would be limited by Wenchen, just like Yue Wumu, who obviously held the power of the army, but in the end he was killed by Wenchen who was powerless.

A military general who does not resist is a chess piece, a prop in the eyes of Wenchen, and belongs to the existence that can be discarded at any time.

But if you know that the generals who resist and dare to resist are very different, they are like a sharp knife, whoever provokes him, it can really kill.

Obviously, Wu Sangui already had a choice, that is, to be a sharp blade, which made Fang Guangchen feel at ease.

"Okay, if there is any latest news from the Jingshi, notify me as soon as possible." Wu Sangui sighed, at this time, he was finally the military general of the Ming Dynasty, and he still had a heart for the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, although he also has selfish intentions, he is not so serious. If it weren't for the fact that the environment of the later generations was really complicated, I am afraid that he might not have made that choice. It's just that the world is impermanent, and everything depends on the change of the situation.

......

Daming Jingshi, Beijing City.

In the temporary camp of the dragon soldiers outside the city, more than 200 would-be dragon soldiers who had slept all morning got up and had a meal, and then began their training again.

Zhu Changwu also came and continued to take them to shoot targets. At this time, he was still in a good mood.

Just now, when he rode out of the city, he had already learned that one day yesterday, Zhang Ao's recruitment office had recruited 15,000 recruits.

Obviously, under the implementation of the three major policies, the number of people who have signed up to join the army has increased significantly. In this way, counting the 10,000 troops on the first day of conscription, plus the 15,000 Ming troops in the original hands, the number of troops available to Zhu Changwu now has a full 40,000.

There are 40,000 Ming troops, and most of them are still new soldiers, and it is still a little difficult to hold the Beijing division. But it depends on who is in charge.

Just like Zhu Changwu, after using the new weapon, he is confident that he will fight the two sides into a surprise battle and a rout battle.

Taking advantage of the victory and covering up the kill, what is needed is not the elite, but the quantity. As long as there is a sufficient number of troops, after all, they don't need to fight a tough battle at all. is under the command of Zhu Changwu, and he also talks about a tough battle.

Of course, Han Xin knows the principle of ordering troops, the more the merrier, now there are 40,000 soldiers, so if he can get 100,000 soldiers, then he is confident that he will hit the main force of the thieves in a battle, and even if Li Zicheng is driven back to his hometown in Shaanxi, it may not be impossible.

And if you want to do this, these quasi-dragon soldiers in front of you have become the top priority.

In order to achieve the purpose of inflicting heavy losses on the thieves in the battle, and to hit their morale as quickly as possible. Zhu Changwu took out ten W86 mortars, five four-zero guns, and four Type 171 heavy machine guns, and he wanted to have a strong fire output of the quasi-dragon soldiers.

A total of 10 W86 doors, 10 40 fires, plus five 171 types. The other dragon soldiers each had a Type 191 assault gun, and this kind of firepower was used in a team of more than 200 people, which was already considered sufficient firepower. Using them to deal with the army of thieves with only big blades, Zhu Changwu really couldn't see any possibility of defeat.

Of course, weapons are important, but the most important thing is to use these weapons skillfully by the would-be dragon soldiers.

"Don't be afraid to waste bullets, how to improve your accuracy is something that you, the deputy commander, need to consider." After seeing Ji Jinkai, Zhu Changwu pointed to a pile of weapons and bullets as high as a hill behind him, and said very magnificently.

"Yes." Ji Jinkai was also overjoyed when he heard this, and then he made a stand, and then raised his hand backwards, "Come on, move weapons." ”

Two hundred and fifty-one would-be dragon soldiers ran over excitedly, all of them with joyful smiles on their faces.

For the rest of the afternoon, gunfire and cannon rang out in the forest. Fortunately, there is a distance from Jingshi here, and the sound has not spread, otherwise, I don't know how many people will be blind again.

But even if the voice didn't come, there were still many people in the capital who had begun to think about it.

The mansion of Mao Yujian.

This is a courtyard with only one entrance, which does not look very large, and is very in line with the identity of the so-called Qingliu courtier of the imperial history.

After all, Yu Shi is doing an impeachment of people, and it is also an errand to offend people. Usually such people are very careful in what they do, for fear that if they do something badly, they will attract impeachment from others.

There are too many people who usually offend, even if you walk a night road, you have to prevent a stuffy stick from smashing it, and of course you will pay extra attention to the things you live in.

But the difference is that this Mao Yushi is very different from other imperial histories, because it was he who first proposed to abolish the post station, and Chongzhen later agreed.

It's not a big deal, it's one of the jobs. But the problem is that Li Zicheng had served as a post guard before, and it was precisely because he lost his job that he became a thief. In this way, he has become an important murderer of Ming and Ming.

After learning that Li Zicheng had become the king of Dashun and that he was going to enter Beijing with a million-strong army, no one was more afraid than Mao Yujian. Because he knows that maybe Li Zicheng can spare everyone, but it will be difficult for him to pass.

In the midst of such panic, Mao Yujian suddenly saw hope, and the heart of the head of the East Factory suddenly came to the door.

As soon as Wang Zhixin appeared, he told the other party that he had already contacted King Dashun and was also the envoy of the other party, and now he came to Mao Mansion to rescue the other party.

According to Wang Zhixin, the withdrawal of the post station is related to Mao Yujian, but in the final analysis, I have to thank him, if it weren't for his suggestion, then there would be no current King Dashun.
