When he came to Yingxi, it was Emperor Chongzhen who wanted to recruit Xu Changqing to meet him.

It was the purple-robed fat eunuch who delivered the decree that day, but at this time, the fat eunuch's attitude was completely different from before, so he couldn't wait to kneel down and kiss Xu Changqing's boots.

Although Xu Changqing had a smile on his face, he still couldn't help drumming in his heart.

A summoning is certainly not the same as an unsolicited visit.

Especially Emperor Chongzhen's temperament, which is not much better than the June sky, no one knows when he will be imaginative again.

Fortunately, with this fierce first victory in hand at this time, the attitude of this fat eunuch can also explain a lot of things, Xu Changqing is not false.

"Squeak."

As the majestic gate of Guangqu Gate was opened, the fat eunuch hurriedly smiled and said: "Uncle, the emperor knows that you are busy with military affairs, and the miscellaneous family has arranged it on the way, let's go directly to the city." ”

And as he spoke, a dozen good horses were brought out of the city.

"This ......"

Xu Changqing looked at the fat eunuch: "Father-in-law, this is a bit wrong, right?" After all, this is the capital master, how can you run wildly. ”

The fat eunuch hurriedly laughed and said, "Uncle, this time and that time." It's wartime, and it's natural that everything is military affairs. Uncle, please, the miscellaneous family will not dare to delay your time. ”

Xu Changqing thought about it for a while, but he didn't refuse anymore, and turned over on the horse.

Soon, Li Qilang also rushed over with two or three hundred horsemen, and the three parties adjusted their formation slightly, and they directly rode their horses and galloped wildly, rushing into the Jingshi City.

"Uncle, the little old man has greeted you."

"Uncle, I wish you good health, Marquis Wandai."

"Uncle, you must defend our Jingshi City......"

"Uncle......

On the way, many people got the news and had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw Xu Changqing's war horse coming quickly, they bowed their hands one after another, and many even knelt down directly.

Xu Changqing hurriedly slowed down, and gave his hands to everyone again and again, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

Even if you have to withstand the malice of many rats, and even the intrigues and tricks, but looking at the simple people in front of you, those sincere eyes as if worshipping the gods, what are these malices and pressures?

In his memory, Xu Changqing clearly remembered the consequences of Jingshi City.

After the exile army occupied the capital division that year, although it did not disturb the people too much, the order of the capital had collapsed at that time, prices soared, and the people were struggling to make a living.

What's more, it's a kind of cultural poison!

Many of the people who were originally down-to-earth and willing to work also wanted to 'eat his mother and drink his mother', and they didn't want to engage in tiring production at all.

And the exile army is still good, and the people can still live if they don't die.

Later, when the Tartar masters entered the city, it was completely the Ming robbery of Chiguoguo.

All the Han people in the inner city were all expelled and all the real estate, shops, and various fixed assets were all divided up by the Tartar masters.

Not to mention ordinary people, even many wealthy gentry are displaced and die tragically in a foreign land.

Although there are still differences in the number of people who died tragically after the collapse of Jingshi, the most conservative estimate is that this number will not be less than 500,000.

It wasn't until more than ten or twenty years later, in the era of Xiao Mazi, that everything stabilized, and Jingshi gradually recovered.

Not to mention the other disasters that the Tartars did later.

The bitter fruit of defeat, the evil deeds of the Tartars, is simply too numerous to mention!

At this time, whenever there is a chance, Xu Changqing will do his best to keep the Jingshi City, even if it is not for the imperial court, but also for the people of the world and the roots of the nation!

The gallop is definitely much faster than the 11th.

After a short time, Xu Changqing and his entourage came to Dong'an Gate.

Miyagi definitely can't ride a horse, but the fat eunuch still opened a green passage and could copy a few shortcuts, which made Xu Changqing spend less than a quarter of an hour to come to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Minister, Zhongyibo, Xu Changqing, the chief military officer of the Shandong Left Association, knock to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live......"

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen again, Xu Changqing still saluted in a regular manner, and his attitude was more humble than before.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't dare to drag it out this time, so he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, let Xu Changqing flatten his body, and then gave him a seat.

The monarch and the ministers exchanged a few simple greetings, and Emperor Chongzhen looked at a huge map of the Beijing division not far away, and said cautiously: "Uncle Zhongyi, I have carefully read the battle report you sent this morning, the first battle yesterday, the casualties of the model army, also, are they very big......

This question is a bit naïve, but looking at Emperor Chongzhen's cautious appearance, Xu Changqing also breathed a sigh of relief, and explained carefully: "Emperor, the scale of nearly two thousand people is still very large, and the number of thousands of troops under the command of the top ministers has been completed. Moreover, most of the sons who died here were pikemen who needed to be trained strictly for a long time......"

It is rare for Emperor Chongzhen to be so cautious and modest, and Xu Changqing also carefully explained many things on the battlefield for him, so that he could understand the true meaning of these numbers, and no longer just a string of cold numbers.

After talking for more than ten minutes, it was like giving a lecture to a primary school student, seeing that Emperor Chongzhen really understood it completely, Xu Changqing was finished.

Emperor Chongzhen had fallen into a deep silence.

Even though he has been the Son of Heaven for sixteen years, it is the first time he has heard of these things in such a systematic and orderly manner, which also makes him understand that if he wants to break through the situation of the bandit soldiers pressing the realm at the moment, it is by no means as simple as he thinks.

Xu Changqing's mouth was a little dry here, but the Son of Heaven fell into deep thought, and Xu Changqing didn't have much to say, so he could only endure it first.

As the saying goes, the devil is in the details.

Emperor Chongzhen has come to this day, and Daming has come to this day, even though there are many external reasons, but there are really too many reasons for him.

Not to mention anything else, just emotional intelligence, he, a genius, is really unqualified.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen finally came back to his senses, but he still didn't remember to pour a glass of water for Xu Changqing, looked at the map, and looked at Xu Changqing's eyes: "Xu Qing, then, the current situation, the main force of the thieves has rushed to the capital one after another, I am Daming, how to defeat the million offensive of the thieves?" ”

Xu Changqing had already thought about this, and arched his hand: "Emperor, before entering the city, the minister has been carefully observing the arrangement of the thieves. The thieves are obviously on the defensive at this time, only besieged, not in a hurry to attack, if I want to take the initiative, there are some opportunities, but it is bound to pay a huge price. The minister's suggestion is to hold the troops for the time being, and wait for the thieves to take the initiative to attack......"

Just like coaxing Tang Tong, Xu Changqing expressed to Emperor Chongzhen in more detail the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the exile army at this time.

There may not be any need to delay it until the New Year, the lunar month, or even November, and the exile army will definitely not be able to bear it first.

Of course, this premise is that the Ming army must suppress the tentative attack of the exile army.

"This ......"

Emperor Chongzhen fell into deep thought again.

He invited Xu Changqing over today, on the one hand, he wanted to hear Xu Changqing's views and understanding of the general trend, and on the other hand, he said, 'On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?' Emperor Chongzhen wanted Xu Changqing to solve the problem as soon as possible.

But after listening to Xu Changqing's analysis, he also understood that it was almost impossible to achieve a quick solution.

This made his heart feel as uncomfortable as being bitten by thousands of ants.

How could he have thought that in the end, he was forced into this situation by Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, who were the bloodline of his great grandfather?

Fortunately, there is still Xu Changqing at this time.

Emperor Chongzhen really didn't dare to think about it, if he was impulsive at that time and really killed Xu Changqing, what kind of situation should it be now?

"Xu Qing, you have worked hard. Go for it as you wish. However, Xu Qing, you must know that there is not much grain and grass in the capital now, and the thieves can't hold it, and we can't hold it either. If possible, we should seize the opportunity as soon as possible to put an end to the scourge of the thieves......"

……

Emperor Chongzhen actually wanted to have a good chat with Xu Changqing for a while, but at this time, the army of thieves had gradually arrived, and he was very afraid that the thieves would play some kind of moth, so he had to control the time when talking to Xu Changqing.

This time, after only chatting with Xu Changqing for more than a quarter of an hour, he stopped procrastinating and personally sent Xu Changqing to the door.

Outside the silver-covered palace, looking at the increasingly mottled silver threads on Emperor Chongzhen's temples, Xu Changqing sighed slightly, and there was something unpleasant in his heart.

Was Emperor Chongzhen a good emperor?

10,000 people will probably have 10,000 answers.

Moreover, this is basically a false proposition.

It can be said that he is a good person, but he is obviously not compatible with a good emperor......

If it was before Wanli Ye, then he would definitely be a good emperor, after all, many of his measures were good in their original intentions, even if they were delegated to the localities, there would be differences, but according to the national strength of the Ming Dynasty at that time, the imperial court's control over the overall situation always had the opportunity to adjust.

And if Wanli Ye is in this era, he will definitely not be able to seek the Tao through alchemy, and under careful planning, there may not be no opportunity to have a wave with the Great Qing Kingdom.

What a pity!

Reality is reality, what happens is what happens, and there will never be ifs!

Walking out of the gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Xu Changqing didn't think much about it anymore.

People are the most complicated thing in the world, it's useless to think too much, don't forget the original intention, face the problem, solve the problem, and take responsibility, it's enough.

But not long after Xu Changqing walked out, he was just about to turn the corner, when a slightly immature female voice suddenly came from behind him: "Uncle Zhongyi, Uncle Zhongyi, please wait a minute!" ”

"Huh?"

Xu Changqing couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously turned around.

The fat eunuch accompanying him also turned his head hurriedly, but he covered his mouth in horror.

I saw a beautiful girl in a pale pink dress and a cashmere jacket, about fourteen or fifteen years old, accompanied by two nervous palace maids behind her, hurriedly chased after her.

Maybe it's because she keeps running over, her little face is a little red, and a few beads of sweat on her forehead are clearly visible.

The fat eunuch was very clever, he knew that Xu Changqing didn't know the identity of the girl, so he was the first to kneel on the ground and salute respectfully: "Slave Zheng Yingchun, I have seen Princess Kunxing." ”

Xu Changqing also reacted immediately, he should have thought of it a long time ago, and he was busy and saluted respectfully: "Minister, Xu Changqing, I have seen Princess Kunxing." ”

However, although the courtesy was respectful, Xu Changqing quickly raised his head and carefully looked at this poor woman with a miserable fate.

At this time, although he had already heard her name for a long time, his ears were about to be cocooned, but this was the first time Xu Changqing had seen her true face.

Seeing Xu Changqing so bold, Zhu ??? Pinna Plague Preparation? Playing ??? Tailor-made sucking? Bribery industry troubles pen juvenile Fei で啵? Cang 诖蛄孔判菲で唷

It's not much different from what the girl imagined.

The man in front of him was tall, calm, and handsome.

Although he is not too handsome, that kind of majestic manhood is like a mountain, which makes it easy for people to feel safe about him.

At this time, he was simply wearing an official robe and a suede vest on the outside, and he was not too fancy, but the heroic majesty was very different from ordinary people at first glance.

Inadvertently, the two images in the girl's heart gradually merged into one, which also made her pretty face redder, and her neck was almost red, as if she couldn't breathe.

But for a moment, she still pinched herself very hard, let her come back to her senses, and said to this Zheng Gong with dignity: "Zheng Gonggong, can you retreat a little, this palace, this palace has a few words, I want to say it to Uncle Zhongyi alone." ”
