Chapter 132: The Jurchens are coming
Ye Qiu looked at the situation on the city tower, and whispered to the two henchmen generals Lu Zhenggang and Dai Zhitai beside him: "It seems that we can only win this battle, but not defeat, once we lose, everything we have achieved before will be in vain!"
Lu Zhenggang said with a straight face: "The adult will not be defeated, if it weren't for Zu Dashou suppressing the adult, and letting the adult take power earlier, Liaodong would not be the scene it is now." ”
He was rescued from the pile of dead by Ye Qiu, and he was the most loyal and convinced to Ye Qiu.
Dai Zhitai was a little nervous, although he had already fought with the Jurchens many times with Ye Qiu, he would be nervous before every battle. Strangely, once the war began, this tension disappeared.
At this time, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared on the city wall and drove the people who were watching on the city wall.
"There's a big guy coming. Dai Zhitai said, in the past few days, this kind of thing has happened many times.
But this time, unlike in the past, this time it was Chongzhen who came in person.
The soldiers on the city tower fell to their knees after driving away the people, and Ye Qiu and the three stopped talking, and saw a thin middle-aged man coming to the wall surrounded by a retinue and looking towards him.
Ye Qiu's eyes are strong, and he can see the image of this middle-aged man clearly, this person is wearing a bright yellow robe, embroidered with a dragon, and a winged crown, looking like he is in his forties, his face and figure are dry and thin, and his beard is slightly yellow.
At this time, standing on the city tower, pointing at Ye Qiu, sometimes talking among the officials, his expression was very majestic.
There is also a person with a white face and no beard beside him, he wears a five-beam crown, wears a bamboo blue trolling, embroidered with a red python picture on his chest, and the neckline reveals a red sticker, which looks quite good against the bamboo blue robe.
Dragon robe, eunuch ......
Ye Qiu was taken aback, this was the arrival of Emperor Daming in person.
The next moment, he saw the middle-aged man who seemed to be the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty beckoning to him, and then the white-faced and bearded man ran towards the city tower.
A gap opened in the city gate, and this person came out of the city and trotted towards Ye Qiu's military camp.
After a while, Ye Qiu's own soldiers came to report, and His Majesty the Emperor summoned him.
Ye Qiu, who had expected it, explained a few words to Lu Zhenggang and Dai Zhitai, tidied up his armor, and walked outside the camp, where he saw the man with a white face and beard waiting outside the camp.
After seeing Ye Qiu, this person's eyes lit up and he greeted him.
"I didn't expect General Ye to be so young, he is really young!"
Ye Qiu didn't dare to take it, this person should be the henchman beside the Ming Emperor, and hurriedly took a few steps forward and hugged his fists and said: "I have seen this father-in-law, but I have bothered my father-in-law to welcome him, forgive his sins." ”
"What a crime, General Ye fought for the country's blood, defeated the Jurchen slaves, and the Sprinkler family should greet him. ”
As they spoke, they walked towards the city gate.
During the conversation, Ye Qiu learned that this person was the chief eunuch of the Ming Emperor's confidant mentioned in Uncle Tang's letter-Cao Huachun.
When he came to the city tower, after Cao Huachun led Ye Qiu to Chongzhen's side, he smiled at him slightly, and then stood behind Chongzhen and stopped talking.
"Chen Yeqiu, see Your Majesty. Ye Qiu fell to his knees.
Chongzhen looked Ye Qiu up and down, showing love on his face, because Ye Qiu's appearance was really good, and there was no difference between his face and the face described by the storyteller, his nose like a hanging gall, and his eyes like a star. In addition, he is not very old, dressed in armor, and heroic, and the image imagined in Chongzhen's heart is seven or eight points similar.
This is a helper sent to me by God!
Thinking of this, Chongzhen took two steps forward, and actually helped Ye Qiu, who was kneeling down on one knee, with his own hands, and said with a smile: "What a brave and daring Ye Qiu, a young heroic and heroic man, this is my Huo Zhi's illness!"
Ye Qiu bowed and said: "The emperor has won awards, and it is the duty of my generation of soldiers to kill thieves for the country." ”
Chongzhen was even happier when he heard this, and turned his head to a group of civil officials beside him and said: "I am not afraid of strong enemies, and I am not arrogant in my achievements, so this is my true character as a Ming man." ”
The officials echoed for a while, and they blew Ye Qiu into the sky.
The chivalrous value has risen again.
Just as everyone was talking, there were suddenly bursts of drums in the distance, and a black line surged towards the city wall of the capital like a tidal wave.
Ye Qiu was stationed outside the Desheng Gate for three days, and the Jurchens finally came.
Everyone on the city wall changed color, and the joy on Emperor Chongzhen's face was also gone, and he looked at the Jurchen warriors in the distance with a pale face, this was the first time he had seen the Jurchen battle formation with his own eyes, and the murderous aura that seemed to be able to devour everything made him frightened.
For a while, he began to doubt whether Ye Qiu could withstand the attack of the Jurchens.
This Jurchen is so fierce......
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Weichen will go down to the city to command the battle, and I will win this battle. ”
A clear voice sounded in Chongzhen's ears, which made him suddenly come back to his senses, and then hesitated: "Aiqing, you can be sure, if you really can't retreat to the city, you can defend the city with the help of the city wall." ”
Ye Xiu in the crowd raised his eyebrows, hoping that his nephew could borrow the slope to get off the donkey, anyway, it was said by the emperor himself, so it would not cause criticism.
But to his disappointment, his nephew politely refused.
"The emperor is clear, the so-called invincibility of the Jurchens in the field is all blown out, otherwise how can Weichen defeat them in the battle of Liaodong. As long as we can defeat them in front of the eyes of everyone in this Beijing city and break the myth of the so-called invincibility of the Jurchens in the field, we can boost the morale of our Ming army, so as not to encounter the Jurchen army in the future. ”
Chongzhen suddenly became excited, and actually grabbed Ye Qiu's hand and said, "Aiqing is sure." ”
Ye Qiu was a little surprised, this emperor seemed to have a somewhat ...... personality Seeing that the Jurchen is powerful, he is afraid, and he is excited after a few words of encouragement, and he seems to be a little uncertain!
"Your Majesty, the minister dares to say that he will win. Ye Qiu simply added another fire to him.
"Okay, you go!" Chongzhen's face turned red with excitement.
Ye Qiu went down the city tower with a hanging basket, and Chongzhen also left the city tower under the urging of civil officials with weak legs, and then the soldiers who defended the city came up to the city, and some of them also mixed up, but no one took care of it, which shows the degree of corruption of the capital garrison.
When Ye Qiu returned to the camp, Lu Zhenggang and Dai Zhitai had already assembled their army, and Ye Qiu was standing on a tower, looking out at the Jurchen army array, there were only more than 10,000 people on the opposite side, but there were many elites.
On the city tower, Ye Qiu saw the number of Jurchens, which was one of the reasons why he dared to pack tickets.
Do you really think that you Jurchens are invincible!
Ye Qiu looked at the other side, his heart full of disdain.
Of the 10,000 people he brought out this time, except for his own soldiers and horses, the rest were Feng Hu's people and some of the elites selected from Zu Dashou's three thousand families.
To tell the truth, these elite families of Zu Dashou, if their combat power is not much worse than that of ordinary Jurchens, what they lack is only blood and courage, as long as they can survive this war, they will be a strong army.
