Chapter 670: Not sure
"Have you ever caught that thief" Chang Yu hurriedly entered the hall before he had time to salute, Chongzhen asked impatiently, at this time Qing Bing was under his nose, but he was still worried about this big trouble, which shows how unforgettable his hatred for Li Zicheng is.
Chang Yu sighed slightly and shook his head gently: "Little incompetence, if you can stay for another ten days and a half months, it may be, then ...... For now, we can only do our best and resign ourselves to the destiny of God."
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't hide his loss when he heard the news, and finally sighed: "You have done your best, you have done a good job." Immediately gave a seat, and the eunuch next to him hurriedly sent a chair, Chang Yu hurriedly refused: "The little one doesn't dare!" ”
Although the ministers of the Ming Dynasty did not kneel at every turn like the Qing Dynasty, there were few benches to sit on, except for some meritorious heroes or old ministers, everyone else had to stand.
It's just that at this time, Chongzhen was unofficially in the imperial court, and the people who were convened were all ministers of the cabinet, and they were all seated.
He gave a seat, if it was a private occasion, he would have responded, but now Chang Yu dared to sit, the reason is very simple, who are the people next to him, the big man of the cabinet, who is he, the emperor's slave, the eunuch,
Although he has great military achievements, the ancestral eunuchs are not allowed to participate in politics, and those bigwigs can't accept being equal to a eunuch and being a minister in the same hall.
Seeing that Li Banghua and the others had dark faces, Chang Yu knew how to protect himself, he didn't want to be as high-profile as Wei Zhongxian and make everyone shout and beat.
"You have merit in suppressing thieves, I will give you a seat, you will sit" Chongzhen saw that Chang Yu was tired and very pityful, regardless of the fact that the faces of Li Banghua and the others next to him had turned from black to blue, and he was extremely persistent.
"Your Majesty, at this time, the Qing army is in danger of entering the capital, and there are still many unknown things that need to be figured out, how did the Qing army enter the customs without knowing it, and there is a topographic map near Gyeonggi at hand......" Chang Yu saw that Chongzhen insisted on giving a seat, and if he refused again, he would lose face, so he quickly diverted the topic, this move immediately won the favor of Li Banghua and others, and this eunuch was much more accessible than Wei Zhongxian.
This topic really diverted Chongzhen's attention, the eunuch immediately sent the map over, Chang Yu spread out to find the location of Gubei, and Wang Jiayan next to him told him the latest information at the moment: It was snowing in the north for days, and the Qing cavalry was rushing all the way, and the local guards were not in a hurry to react, and it was not reported until Chengde, and the court learned that the Tartars were only Gubeikou......
Chang Yu looked at the map carefully, Gubeikou is just north of Miyun, Chengde is in the northeast of Miyun, the fastest route for the Qing army to enter the customs should be from Chengde directly south to Xinglong County from the wall of the ridge or Qingshan Pass, Chongzhen eleven years, the fourth time the Qing army entered the customs is from here, but this time why did the Qing army go far and go straight from Chengde to the west to Luanping County and then go south from Gubeikou to enter the customs?
Wang Jiayan guessed that it was because of the lessons of the past, the Ming army rebuilt the wall and Ziling and other passes and stationed heavy troops, and the Qing army came in from the weakly defended Gubeikou by surprise......
It seems that the intelligence is very detailed, Chang Yu knows that the Qing army has coveted Daming for too long, and has set up a big intelligence network in Daming for decades, which is clear inside and out, and no wind and grass can escape their eyes.
Chang Yu stared at the map and frowned and was silent, Emperor Chongzhen and a group of cabinet bigwigs stared at him tightly and didn't dare to take a breath, especially Li Banghua and other cabinet bigwigs, although they strongly opposed the eunuch's participation in politics and were worried about another Wei Zhongxian, but they knew very well in their hearts that the situation in front of them was critical, and it was time for the fire to burn their eyebrows, and the only one who could extinguish the fire was the little eunuch in front of him......
After a long time, Chang Yu took a long breath, and Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly said: "Is there a way to deal with it?" ”
Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "If you come, you can fight, what other countermeasures can you have?"
Chongzhen was stunned: "Fight? How to fight? ”
Li Banghua also said: "Father-in-law Chang, the people that Gyeonggi can mobilize at this time are only 20,000 people in Tangtong and Ma Ke combined, and I am afraid that they will not be defeated by ......."
Chang Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes, as if he could fight if he dared to fight with 100,000 troops, the Qing army entered the customs several times before, which time the Ming army was not a hundred thousand troops as bodyguards, escorting the Qing army to rob, kill and set fire all the way, of course, this could not be said directly, so he said: "There are still tens of thousands of ...... in the Beijing camp in the city"
"The Beijing camp can't be moved" Before the words were finished, Wang Jiayan hurriedly interrupted: "The Beijing camp is for guarding the city, and the capital cannot be transferred away because of the heavy value."
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "The Qing army will not attack the city."
Everyone was stunned, their faces were puzzled, and they didn't know why he was so sure.
"The Qing army was defeated in the first battle of Ningyuan, not to mention the loss of armor and even the siege equipment was almost thrown away, and it is reported that his more than 30,000 men and horses are almost all cavalry, so it can be seen that he did not carry siege baggage, so it is concluded that he will not attack the city, and he is only here to plunder!" Chang Yu said categorically.
Everyone raised their eyebrows in contemplation, and then nodded in agreement. Because there has been such a thing as only plundering and not attacking the city before, for example, the second time you enter the customs, you only rob but not attack, and even when you enter the customs for the third time, you have no intention of attacking if you go around the capital.
Hearing that the Qing army did not attack the city, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their faces were slightly gentle, Chang Yu suddenly felt a chill, the lives of the common people are not their lives, and what kind of mentality is this, as long as people do not rob the inner mansion, they are at will? And thank goodness?
Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen didn't think so, and gritted his teeth: "The Tartar thief is not dead, and he has attacked twice in a few months, Chang Yu, you broke their legs for me!" ”
The ministers are sad in their hearts, but if they don't attack the city, you will burn high incense, and break people's legs, what do you fight?
Chang Yu hugged his fists and led the order: "If you come, you will bend your legs if you don't bend your waist."
Chongzhen was very excited: "The people of Gyeonggi are at your disposal, including the Jingying, and you can all be transferred out of the guards, I want you to beat them hard, break their bones, and break their guts, are you sure?" ”
"Nope"! Chang Yu opened his mouth lightly, Chongzhen almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and the ministers also changed color.
How do you know that Chang Yu smiled slightly: "When the west expedition to Taiyuan, when the north went out of the border pass, the small ones were not sure when they went south to Baoding."
Chongzhen smiled and exhaled a long breath: "You kid, you have learned to be poor", the ministers also softened, and the atmosphere in the hall became less tense.
"Father-in-law Chang, the Tartars have just been defeated outside the pass, why did they suddenly go south and enter the pass, why is this?" The second assistant Wu Fu asked, and everyone was also puzzled.
Chang Yu was silent for a while, he guessed that Dolgon had just ascended to the throne and the Qing Dynasty was not fighting, and he wanted to use this time to enter the customs to stabilize his position, but he knew that it was a fiasco to be lured to Ningyuan by Chang Yu, and he knew that returning to his master would inevitably lead to a fight, and it was very likely that he would step down because of this, and he was unwilling to transfer the people at hand to make a last stand.
There is also a possibility that Dolgon got the information that the bandit army in the south was approaching the capital, and the Gyeonggi defense was empty and just took advantage of the void, and now it is not far from the summer harvest, it is a good time to graze horses and grass to rob.
In addition, Chang Yu really couldn't think of any other reason to make Dolgon grit his teeth and send troops into the customs under serious injuries.
After saying this, everyone in the hall nodded, secretly saying that this little eunuch was really thoughtful.
Since the Qing soldiers do not attack the city, then give him a good job, and cripple him in the Gyeonggi area, so as not to let it harm him elsewhere, Chongzhen has reason to believe that Chang Yu will lead the troops, and the Ming army will definitely not appear like the previous few times, and flee when they hear the wind, and hundreds of thousands of troops only dare to watch from afar and dare not face the battle.
It's just that the Qing army is invincible, and field warfare is what it is best at, and the troops in Gyeonggi can barely cope with the thousands of men and horses in Tang Tong, and the rest is not worth mentioning.
But even so, Emperor Chongzhen still had confidence in Chang Yu, because he had no choice, and because this little eunuch gave him too many surprises.
Wang Jiayan was the first to leave, he was the governor of the Beijing camp, Chang Yu wanted to use the army to bear the brunt of the Beijing camp, so he was busy mobilizing and transferring troops, half an hour later Chang Yu also retired, Emperor Chongzhen went to his back until he disappeared, and then he sighed and swept his gaze to the cabinet ministers: "You wait for the ancestors to restrain me, and the eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, just for fear that they will become the next Wei Zhongxian, but when the country is in trouble, this court can share the worries for me, and who will he take for those who can shelter from the wind and rain?" Wait, does he look a little like Wei Zhongxian? ”
Li Banghua and the others looked at each other, with mixed tastes in their hearts, Wei Zhongxian has the power of this little eunuch, and Wei Zhongxian has the ability that he has and even has it, so he said that Wei Zhongxian couldn't catch up with the war.
But Wei Zhongxian is arrogant and domineering, he doesn't have it, Wei Zhongxian's hand covers the sky, Wei Zhongxian also trained nearly 10,000 eunuch troops for his own use at that time to curb and crack down on the civilian group, meddling in government affairs up and down the opposition, but the little eunuch trained the eunuch army to pull out to kill the enemy and defend the country, so think about it, this little eunuch is really good!
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the looks of the ministers, and smiled secretly in his heart, Chang Yu's methods are not seen through by you nerds, in fact, Wei Zhongxian's participation in politics, accumulation of wealth and other tricks have not fallen behind, speaking of the recent changes in officialdom, there is no shadow of him behind various civil affairs measures, but Wei Zhongxian is on the bright side, this kid is fueling the flames in the dark, and he is unwilling to show the surface when he is killed.
