Chapter 140: The Great Defeat of Tumu Fort
"Your Majesty." Yang Chendong and several important ministers all knelt on the ground at this moment, with a flattering expression on their faces.
"Hahaha, please get up, I will undress." Zhu Qizhen seemed to have found the feeling of being the emperor again, and under laughing, he took off the yellow robe on his body.
Soon, a figure similar to Zhu Qizhen, the important thing is that he was slashed several times in the face, and Hu Ben, who had already been unrecognizable, was sent to everyone. After everyone moved together and changed the yellow robe on the deceased's body, they recognized the direction of Ulzhou and hurried there.
Just over an hour after they left, a troop of Varat cavalry, numbering about five hundred, arrived. Among them is also a father-in-law wearing a eunuch uniform, this person is Xining, and he is also an important one in the eunuch group.
Xining came out with the army, chaotic together, he was unfortunately caught by the Wara cavalry, and when he was about to hack him to death, he shouted out his identity loudly, and said that he could help the Wara army find Ming Yingzong, so that the next day would be at your fingertips.
The power of Xining's words was too great, and he couldn't help but be moved when he heard it by the Warat General Saikan King who was grabbing him. did not kill him, but took him all the way to find news of Zhu Qizhen in the chaotic army.
This team is headed by the king of the magazine, including Xining. When he came to this chaotic place, the bright yellow robe was immediately noticed by everyone, Xining got off the horse, came to the corpse that was already unrecognizable and carefully pulled it, and found Zhu Qizhen's waist on this person, and immediately said with great joy: "General, this is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he is dead." ”
"Dead! Ay. Hearing that Zhu Qizhen was dying, King Saikan's face couldn't help but show a trace of hatred, obviously a dead man really had no effect on him.
Noticing that King Saikan was so disappointed, Xi Ning, who was afraid that his life would be in danger, rolled his eyes, and said immediately: "General, although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is dead, we have a jade pendant in our hands, and we can still make some articles." Presumably, the news of this chaos will definitely make the Ming army panic, and if you can take advantage of this opportunity, maybe you can attack the Beijing Division, for there, you are familiar with it, there are countless gold, silver, treasures and beauties. ”
Speaking of the prosperity of the Beijing Division, how could the king of Saikan, as a former messenger, not know it? At that moment, his face changed from sad to happy: "Yes, yes, let's go, you follow me to see the leader, we are going to attack the Daming Jingshi, hahaha." ”
The waist pendant was deliberately left by Zhu Qizhen, saying that it was to create more realistic facts, but it came in handy without thinking and became a thing to identify him. At this time, the Ming Yingzong, who had changed into a tiger robe, was heading towards Ulzhou, Shanxi Province from the periphery of Tumu Fort with Yang Chendong and his party.
Even if he didn't choose to come, he still ran into the two cavalry teams of Warat.
The cavalry with hundreds of people each, after encountering the cold front, was like a live target, and before they could see what kind of lineup they were here and who they were, they were all killed from afar.
This was also the first time that Zhu Qizhen saw Leng Feng's power up close, and he was terrified for a while. But thinking that they are now using it for their own purposes, I can't help but feel a lot more relieved.
With more healthy horses and more food from these Warat cavalry, everyone began to speed up after they had eaten and drunk, and headed straight for Ulju day and night.
Xining was brought to his brother by the king of Saikan, who was also the leader of Warat.
He was also burly, with a sense of superiority in his eyes that was not angry and self-righteous, his eyes were deep and sharp, and when he looked at Xining, he was scared to the core.
"You say this is your Emperor's stuff?" Playing with the waist that looked very expensive, he asked casually.
"Yes, yes, my lord, this is our Ming Emperor's thing, he has been killed by the valiant Warat cavalry." Xining knelt on the ground, completely like a minion. After saying this, he was afraid that the other party would not believe him, so he continued to add: "The little one is a eunuch walking beside Emperor Ming, so naturally he will not admit his mistake. Also, the little ones were originally Jurchens, not Han Chinese. I have long expected the army to level the Ming Dynasty and repeat the glory of my grassland people. ”
Xining is really afraid that she will die, what is good to say at this moment, she is afraid that she will kill herself in displeasure first.
"Hmm." Xining's statement made him believe him first. "Even if Emperor Ming dies, do you think that their Jingshi has been messed up now?"
Previously, because the captain of the guard of the Saikan King, Tu Geer, angered Yang Chendong, as a result, all the spies of the Wara Department in the Daming Jingshi were exposed and died. If you want to know about the situation of Daming, you can only ask the little eunuch in front of you, a yin and yang person.
What Xi Ning is afraid of is that he will kill himself without asking anything first, so that he will not be able to show his value. It's good now, as long as the other party is still willing to ask himself, then it proves that he is useful, so that life will be worry-free. And in order to better express himself and show his importance, he knelt on the ground and analyzed: "Lord Chief, the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty is the emperor, the imperial family is huge, beyond our imagination. Even if the current emperor dies, they can always put out a new emperor. ”
"What?" Xining's answer made Ye Xian very dissatisfied. "Looking at it this way, doesn't it mean that it's useless for us to kill Emperor Ming?"
"No, no, it's not like that." Xi Ning's head shook like a wave drum. "Although it shows that the imperial family is very large, it is not difficult to elect an emperor. But it is difficult for the new emperor to have great power in a short period of time, and this is our opportunity. Therefore, we can't announce the news of the death of the Ming Emperor right away, so that it will only give the other party more time to prepare. We can march to the Beijing division first, and when the soldiers are in the city, the news of the death of the Ming Emperor will be announced, so that even if they elect a new emperor, it will be difficult to form any resistance, at that time, under the alternation of the old and new regimes, it will be chaotic, so that we can overwhelm the city with a large army, and then the small ones will lobby my group of friends, maybe they can open the city gate without blood, and completely enter the capital division. ”
Zhu Qizhen is dead, and for Xining, he has no hope. Even if he can return to Jingshi unharmed now and change an emperor, how can he still trust him like Yingzong?
Maybe the other eunuchs were eager to kill themselves. Even if there is no way out, then he simply voted for Wara, with his merits in making plans, once Warat is done, he may be able to become a eunuch as powerful as Wang Zhen.
At this moment, Xining seemed to see the brilliant light of the future. In order to achieve this goal, he really tried his best to plan first.
"Okay." After listening to Xining's remarks first, I also moved my mind. Originally, he was just thinking about attacking the border passes of the Ming Dynasty to show his strength. But it didn't come to pass, and he won a big victory in a battle, and even Emperor Ming was killed by himself. Now that he has the opportunity to enter the Daming Jingshi Land, how could he give up?
At the beginning, he also asked Emperor Ming to marry a princess for the purpose of seeking peace, but he was refused. Now it seems that if you can enter the Jingshi, then wouldn't all the princesses be free to choose? also avenged his humiliation back then.
Xining's proposal was accepted first. Then the Warat army began to clean up the battlefield. The captured firearms alone include 14 general cannons, 2,161 magic barrels, and 4,223 magic guns.
Among the Ming army, the British Gong Zhang Fu, Taining Hou Chen Ying, the Horse Du Wei Jingyuan, Pingxiang Bo Chen Huai, Xiangcheng Bo Li Zhen, Sui An Bo Chen Xun, Xiu Wu Bo Shen Rong, Governor Liang Cheng, Wang Gui, Bachelors Cao Nai, Zhang Yi, Hanlin Academy Bachelor Zhang Yi, Tongzheng Zuo Tongzheng Gong Quanan, Taichang Temple Dai Qingzu, Wang Yiju, Bao Liangzuo, Yao Milling, Bao Hui, Zhongshu Sheren Yu Gong, Pan Cheng, Qian Yu, Supervision of the Imperial History Zhang Hong, Huang Shang, Wei Zhen, Xia Cheng, Yin Hong, Tong Cunde, Sun Qing, Lin Xiangfeng, Lang Zhong Qi Wang, Feng Xueming, Wang Jian, Cheng Siwen, Cheng Shi, Lu Duan, Director Yu Jian, Zhang Tang, Zheng Xuan, Deputy Ma Yu of Dali Temple, pedestrian Si Zheng Yin Chang, pedestrian Luo Ruyong, Qin Tianjian Xia Guanzheng Liu Xin, Xuan Ban Li Gong, Shi Yu and others all died in the melee. More than half of the Ming army died in this battle, and a large number of baggage were plundered first, and only Xiao Weizhen, the right temple of Dali Temple, Li Xian, Wenxuan Langzhong, and several others escaped by luck. Then there are the nine important ministers rescued by Yang Chendong.
The 500,000 troops left by Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty were completely wiped out, and the three most elite battalions were also destroyed, and the research and development of firearms in the army was greatly hindered; The gateway to the capital has also been opened. This battle is known in the history of the Ming Dynasty as the "defeat of civil engineering". This defeat had a far-reaching impact and became a turning point for the Ming Dynasty from the early stage to the middle period.
......
Capital.
When the news of the defeat of the civil engineering reached the Jingshi, everyone felt as if they had been smashed by a stick. There is a lot of discussion in the market, and the chaos is about to appear. There was a lot of noise in the court, and no one was in charge.
The court was in a panic, and Zhu Qiyu, the king of the imperial government, was like a needle felt on the chair next to the dragon seat.
originally thought that it was to temporarily manage the government, and the ministers below would deal with it, but he was just making a scene, waiting for the emperor Zhu Qizhen to come back, and he could make a perfect deal and continue to be his own prince. But who would have thought that the army would be defeated, and it would be so badly defeated. Listening to the news from the front, it was corpses all over the field. Now even the emperor Zhu Qizhen has no news, and if he says something disrespectful, he doesn't know life and death.
The emperor doesn't know life and death, and his burden will undoubtedly become very heavy. It's like now, the ministers are asking his opinion, and he is also restless now, and he doesn't know how to answer.
