Qianqing Gate, Wang Jiayan was summoned to the palace to face the saint, Emperor Chongzhen saw that his face was full of fatigue and gave tea and gave a seat, Wang Jiayan was flattered and thanked.

"During the day, there is nothing to talk about outside the city and I hear, where is the Qing army at this time?" This is what Emperor Chongzhen thinks about all day.

Wang Jiayan cleared his throat and said eloquently: the fourth battalion of Dongchang practiced and sharpened his knives, divided his troops into several ways to hunt and kill the Qing army around the capital, and once far away from thirty or forty miles, he was surrounded by dozens of Tartar soldiers and annihilated, the Tartar soldiers were fierce and ordinary people were not opponents at all, but there were four battalions of Dongchang in charge, how could they let it be arrogant, first a tyrannical meal and then wait for their strength to be exhausted and then handed over to these vegetables and melons in Beijing to go up and kill.

There are many people and there are four battalions of Dongchang sitting in the town, and the morale is like a rainbow for a while, and the North Road once rushed to the territory of Shunyi...... In one afternoon, they slaughtered all sides and returned to the army in the evening, beheading more than 100 Tartars.

Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, so he didn't care about sending more people and horses, but as long as he killed the Tartars, he was happy.

It's just that this happiness didn't last much, and then Wang Jiayan reported the military situation: Ma Ke's men and horses were attacked by the Tartars in Pinggu and withdrew to Changping, and Tang Tong in the east had just arrived in Pinggu and encountered the Tartar army, tired and unintentional, but fortunately, the first Tartar soldiers entered the city and held on to the closed door, and the Tartars sent troops to plunder while besieging the city.

"What happened to Shunyi County, didn't you meet the Tartar army when you arrived in Shunyi?" Chongzhen asked with a frown.

Wang Jiayan nodded vigorously: "The next city met but did not fight"

Emperor Chongzhen was shocked: "I really ran into it, why didn't you fight......" He felt sorry when he said it, why didn't he fight the psychology of the b, these vegetable melons are okay to bully more and hunt small groups of horses, and the main force of the people is suspicious of their own heads.

Wang Jiayan was slightly embarrassed: "When the ministers entered Shunyi County for more than ten miles, they wanted to go to the city for a walk, but they had to report information, and the main force of more than 10,000 Tartars rested in the north of Shunyi City for more than ten years...... Your Majesty, the people and horses of the Beijing camp led by the minister at that time were only scattered four times, plus they ran thirty or forty miles......"

"Don't say it, I know" Chongzhen interrupted him: "No one in the Manchu Dynasty can go out of Chang Yu's right when it comes to marching and fighting, what does he say, you just follow orders."

immediately waved away Wang Jiayan and summoned Chang Yu into the palace.

Too many things happened in one afternoon, the officers and soldiers outside the city were happy to hunt, and the city was about to be overturned by Wu Mengming's heat, but these did not affect the little overseer of Dongchang, Chang Yu, to sleep, and he really woke up naturally.

Until the evening to get up and wash, Fang San sent a delicious meal, Chunxiang reported all the information on the side, Chang Yu listened while eating, the Qing army heard that the west road of the Qing army repelled Ma Ke approaching Changping, the east road surrounded Tang Tong in Pinggu, Shunyi was expressionless under the middle road, and the anxious Chunxiang shouted: "Big brother, it's all in the mouth, do you still eat?" ”

Chang Yu glanced up at Chunxiang and smiled: "I'm hungry, when the Tartars come, I have to eat enough to have the strength to fight, okay, talk about something in the city."

"Something about the city? Oh, I'll go, it's just a big deal" Chunxiang told the Octopus Chamber of Commerce and dozens of merchants to raise donations and Wu Mengming set up a big show to coerce public opinion and morality to kidnap and force Xun Gui to donate, Chang Yu almost laughed and burst into tears: "Wu Mengming, I've always liked him very much, greed for money will come."

Chunxiang also shook his head with a wry smile: "I thought he was just a villain who loves money, but now I know that something will happen, big brother, do you know, this guy really went door-to-door to ask for silver, he said that he couldn't say a word less, whoever didn't give it would not give him face, and he wouldn't give anyone face, so he would make trouble in someone's house, and a commander of the brocade guard in the hall became a splash, but no one cares about it, dare to take care of it."

Chang Yu shook his head and laughed: "He is not a commander now, it is Wu Mengming, if he is a commander, at this time, those bigwigs in the court can fill the Qianqing Palace, the more scoundrels he is, the more people can't do anything about him."

While he was talking, there were eunuchs in the palace as for the yamen: "Father-in-law Chang, the emperor has summoned you to the palace."

In the Qianqing Palace, Chang Yu stood with his hands tied, Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to move a stool for him, and after a few resignations, Chang Yu sat down, and Emperor Chongzhen forced a smile: "Sleep well?" ”

"The minister has been too tired recently, and I ask the emperor to forgive me" Chang Yu hurriedly got up and said, Chongzhen smiled slightly: "I know that you are tired and not blame" said and waved his hand to signal Chang Yu to sit down and said: "According to the latest information, the Tartars first occupied Huairou from the south of Miyun, and then divided the troops into the three counties of Changping, Pinggu and Shunyi. ”

"Waiting for work, the officers and soldiers in Beijing are overwhelmed......" Chang Yu told him his overall plan, Chongzhen was silent for a while, and sighed: "You are planning to sacrifice several counties in Gyeonggi to play this game of chess."

"Your Majesty, the Tartars have entered the customs several times, which one has not been hovering for a few months and half a year, there are countless poisoning prefectures, and it is clear which is bigger and which is smaller, not to mention that at the moment, our troops are not enough, and it is the best strategy to fight hard, so we can only encircle and chase and intercept, and control the losses within the minimum range" Chang Yu patiently explained.

Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "Get up and walk to the window, every grass and tree, a son and a people are all in my heart, and it hurts to lose, but I also know that some things can't be avoided, I don't mean to blame, I'm afraid that the march and war are unmatched by the Ming Dynasty at this time, you can do it, I believe you!" ”

A sentence of believing in you almost made Chang Yu cry, and he worked hard to wash and scrub and mend the sewing and mending of a handful of and urine, not for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, not for your old Zhu family. With Chongzhen's words, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it.

"It's okay to wait for the rabbit, or to wait for work, at this time the Tartars are just a stone's throw away, is it watching them show off their power outside the city, and when will the reinforcements from Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong arrive, why is there no news in the south, and the thieves have escaped from the encirclement?" Chongzhen looked impatient as he spoke.

Chang Yu got up and appeased: "Everything is under control, the fastest reinforcement has gone to fifty miles away to rest, as for the thief's side, he can only do his best to obey the fate of heaven, and he has already ordered Liu Liangzuo, who is wandering and walking in Henan, to go north to intercept, even if the thief passes through Gao Jie's pass, there is still a pass ahead, this thousand miles home, it is impossible for him to be easy, and if he does not die, he will have to pick up a layer of skin."

"As for the Tartars, the soldiers will come to the city tomorrow as soon as possible" Chang Yu smiled: "How to raise silver if you don't come to the city, does the emperor want that little bit of thin noodles, or silver?" ”

"Asking for silver" Chongzhen is very decisive, but his mood is still not so smooth.

"Eventful autumn, eventful autumn" Emperor Chongzhen sometimes really wants to point to the sky and scold, what did Lao Tzu offend you, what happened to you in the Ming Dynasty, you have to do so many things, the winter is so cold that you are suffocated and frozen to death with countless frostbite, the summer drought is thousands of miles away, hunger is everywhere, and there is plague raging, locusts are plagued, plus thieves rebel, Tartar invasion, who can stand it.

Chang Yu saw his sad face, and he couldn't bear to be appeased again and again: "Your Majesty, you don't look good, you must rest more, you and those court officials manage civil affairs and use soldiers, as long as the ministers don't die, whether it's Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, or that Dolgon, sooner or later, the ministers will hang their dog's heads on the city for you to see."

Chongzhen's face was overjoyed when he heard this: "I am waiting for this day" and then sighed again: "Although the military affairs are urgent, the civil affairs are also burning brows, the drought and locust plagues continue to occur in various places, the plague in Shanxi, Hebei, and the capital is raging, and how to resettle the people displaced by the war in several provinces, I really can't bear it."

After all, there is no mechanized digging of wells and ditches to divert water, and there are no pesticides to exterminate insects.

As for the plague, which is helpless, this thing is even worse, with the medical conditions at this time, treatment is impossible, only prevention and isolation.

During this period of time, the capital has carried out environmental sanitation, repaired garbage stations, and insecticidal and rodent control in public places to achieve good results, but it is still impossible to eliminate the spread of plague, and can only be isolated immediately after being found to minimize infection.
