On June 27, the ninth year of Chongzhen, Houjin -- at this time had already established the country and called the Qing Dynasty -- Azige, the king of Wuying County, led more than 60,000 Qing soldiers and Mongolian soldiers to break through the Dushi Pass and enter Chang'an Ridge from Diaoyu Fort. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When the Qing army entered the customs, Li Zhi asked the tiger division to strengthen the guard and strictly defend Fanjiazhuang. He ordered the sentry cavalry to be stationed in the nearby fort platform to keep an eye on military movements in the vicinity. He also sent the family to the Tian0jin Acropolis to collect news, so that the family could deliver urgent news to Fanjiazhuang at any time.

One after another, the messages came:

On July 3, martial law was imposed in Beijing. Emperor Chongzhen urgently ordered his ministers Li Guofu to guard Bauhinia Pass, Xu Jinzhong to guard the Fallen Horse Pass, Zhang Yuanheng to guard Longquan Pass, and Cui Liangyong to guard the Solid Pass. A few days later, he ordered Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, to inspect the border passes.

On July 4, Chao Pichang, the general soldier of Tian0jin, was ordered to urgently aid the Beijing Division and entered Chang0 Pingzhou, northwest of the Beijing Division, to garrison.

On July 5, the Qing soldiers met in Yeonyeong, Gyeonggi, captured the city of Gyeongju in Gyeongju and settled in Yongguan.

For the next ten days, the battle on the Jingshi side was dull, and no bad news came.

However, on 19 July, a shocking piece of bad news came from the front line: the Qing "Rao Yu Belle" Abatai Kaiyang Guli troops broke through the Xifeng Pass and led 30,000 Qing troops on the Eastern Route to attack Gyeonggi, echoing the soldiers and horses of the Western Route Azig, and the front of the troops was directed at Tian0jin.

On July 20, an even more shocking news came: on July 17, the Qing soldiers suddenly appeared under Chang 0 Ping City from behind Tianshou Mountain and attacked Chang 0 Ping City. Surrender people should be in the country, the Qing soldiers captured Chang 0 Ping, the Ming general soldier Chao Pichang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the eunuch Wang Xizhong who guarded the tomb, Wang Yigui and Zhao Yue, the governor of Baoding, and sentenced Wang Yuzuo, the judge Hu Weizhong, Guo Yong, Xuezheng Xie Huailiang, the training of Chang Shi, and the garrison Xianzhen Ji did not surrender and died.

This is shocking news, a large number of soldiers gathered to defend the fortification, and Chang 0 Pingzhou, known as the "royal family of Mills, the land of the army", was actually captured, and a number of high-ranking officials were either killed or killed in battle. From then on, the Qing army could approach the city of Jingshi.

What's even more surprising is that the chief military officer of Tian0jin, the Chao Pichang who congratulated Lu Siqi on his birthday in the Zuixian Building, and the Chao Pichang who sent someone to steal Li Zhi's glass secret, actually surrendered to the Qing army.

The Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty fought for decades, although they lost more victories and lost their cities and abandoned their land, but the Ming people always regarded the Later Jin as a slave who did not understand the religion, and there were almost no high-ranking officials in the general army who descended to the Qing Dynasty. Chao Pichang's surrender is tantamount to a huge earthquake for the officialdom of Tian0jin. Slavery is not only a shameful act, but also will attract severe reprisals from the imperial court, and Chao Pichang's family may be imprisoned or even beheaded. Even the governor He Shishou also has the sin of being at a loss.

Sure enough, on July 20, He Shishou, the governor of Tian0jin, who could no longer sit still, summoned all the generals near Tian0jin and asked the generals to go to the governor's yamen on July 21 to discuss matters.

Li Zhi hurried to the Yamen of the Acropolis Governor on July 21 and saw that dozens of tall horses had been led at the gate, which were obviously the mounts of generals from all walks of life. He walked into the lobby of the governor's yamen and saw that the civil and military officials near Tian0jin had gathered together, standing under He Shishou on the left and right.

Military attache Tian 0 Jin deputy general Geng Yingjie, Zhenhai battalion staff general Luo Zhending, Tian 0 Jinxia East Road staff general Qin Xinji, etc. have all arrived, civilian officers and soldiers are preparing for the road to check and dengbei, the Qing military hall Tongzhi Lu Hualin, Tian 0 Jin Tong Judgment and others have also been present, everyone is there to discuss the matter of Chao Pichang, one by one full of righteous indignation.

"The general army has surrendered, and my face has been lost by Chao Pichang!"

"Lord Governor, it is better to confiscate the property of Chao Pichang's family immediately to prove our innocence!"

"Honesty should be tied to the family of Pichang and handed over to the Beijing Division."

He Shishou heard all kinds of discussions among the generals, and he was silent. It wasn't until he saw Li Zhi walking into the lobby that he bowed his head and said, "Fanjiazhuang's ethics are here!" ”

Hearing the governor's words, everyone turned their heads and looked at Li Zhi who walked into the lobby.

This is the Li Zhi who made meritorious contributions in the Ru 0 State War, and returned to Ma Shouying after beheading the old man? Does it look like just an ordinary-looking twenty-year-old? However, I heard that this Li Zhi has one or two thousand Ding, and he relied on these more than 1,000 Ding to make meritorious contributions last time, and his strength is not bad! There is a strength far beyond a moral integrity!

I heard that he is a relative of He Shishou? No wonder the governor greeted him so affectionately!

Li Zhi stepped forward and saluted and said, "Xiaguan Li Zhi greets the governor!" ”

He Shishou said: "No courtesy! What is the situation in Fanjiazhuang today? ”

Li Zhi got up and said, "The lower official has ordered the soldiers to strictly guard all roads, there is no problem!" ”

He Shishou nodded and stopped talking. Li Zhi looked left and right, stood at the back of the military attachés attending the meeting, ranked under the guerrilla and garrison, and stood with a group of integrity officers.

He Shishou saw that everyone was still talking about Chao Pichang, so he cleared his throat and said: "How to deal with Chao Pichang's family, the court has its own conclusion after the expulsion of Dongnu. However, this time, the Dongnu East Wing Army has broken through the Xifeng Pass and is approaching our Tian0jin. Now that defense is important, what are the generals' opinions? ”

Hearing He Shishou's words, the civilian, military and military generals looked stunned, and no one spoke.

Dongnu's combat power was too strong, and Chao Pichang led 3,000 elite soldiers to aid Changping as the chief soldier, but he was also easily eaten by Dongnu. Where do the remaining generals have such strong combat effectiveness? They didn't dare to face the Tartars' soldiers. Thinking about it, it's nothing more than a strategy to defend the city.

The military attache is now headed by the deputy general Geng Yingjie, and seeing that everyone is silent, Geng Yingjie stood up and said: "My lord! Now that the Dongnu soldiers are in full swing, we can't resist hard, and we should defend the gate and wait for reinforcements from the nine towns to arrive. ”

Luo Zhending, the general of the Zhenhai camp, arched his hand and said: "What Lord Geng said is the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country, and the lower officials seconded it!" ”

The other generals said one after another: "What Lord Geng said is extremely true, now there is only one strategy to defend according to the danger, and we will second!" ”

Seeing that everyone was unanimous, He Shishou stroked his beard and said: "At this time, there is only that. When the soldiers and horses of all Qinwang gathered, presumably Dongnu could only withdraw from Gyeonggi. After a pause, He Shishou said: "However, now that the soldiers and horses on the east wing of Dongnu are approaching my Tian0jin, how to defend this battle will be discussed by the generals!" ”

After He Shishou said this, the generals were silent again. How to keep? What else can they do if they defend their own cities? This He Shishou likes to chant poems against him, he has never led troops to fight before, and he doesn't understand anything when he fights!

The generals didn't have any strategy, and no one spoke for a while.

After waiting for a while, it was Xue Youliang, the integrity officer of Ningya Fort beside Li Zhi, who stood up and said loudly: "Lord Governor! In this battle, there were 30,000 soldiers and horses on the east wing of Dongnu, which was extremely strong. Every time Dongnu attacks a place, they often gather 10,000 people to attack together, and they don't stop! The big and small tunbao near Tian0jin have been in disrepair for a long time, and they have long been decayed, so I am afraid that they can't be prevented! It is better to abandon the forts and let the conduct, defense and management teams defending the forts concentrate all the soldiers and horses in the nearby states and counties and gather troops to defend them! ”

Hearing this, the ethics officers behind Li Zhi suddenly came to life, and said loudly one by one: "This plan is very good! Transfer the population, pigs, sheep and wealth to the big city, you can keep safe! ”

"Gather troops to defend the big city, but you can keep the big city from losing!"

Even the garrisons defending the prefectures and counties felt that if they gathered their troops in one place, the cities they were stationed in would be safer, and they nodded their heads one by one.

Hearing these words of integrity, He Shishou thought about it and did not speak.

Abandoning the fort and defending the big city can certainly be safer. But if today's 0 Jin General Soldier Chao Pichang surrendered to slaves, he, the governor of Tian 0 Jin, is already on the cusp. If he abandoned Tunpu, and the court held him accountable for abandoning the city and land after the war, he would not be able to eat and walk around.

But Dongnu is really powerful, and those tunbao seem to be unable to hold it. Defending the fort lost people and materials, and the responsibility was even greater.

After thinking about it, He Shishou couldn't make up his mind, and asked Li Zhi: "Li Zhi, you are also a conduct officer, what do you think?" ”

Hearing the governor ask about his "relative" Li Zhi, everyone knew that Li Zhi's words would affect the governor's decision-making. How to defend is a major matter related to their lives, and they looked at Li Zhi nervously one by one.

Li Zhi looked at the door of conduct beside him, stood up and said: "What the generals said is a plan to strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness, and it is a good strategy now!" The lower official seconded. ”

He Shishou nodded when he heard this.

The garrisons were very happy to hear this, and secretly said that their city had more soldiers to defend, which was considered a little safer. A group of ethics even felt that they could hide in the big cities of the state and county now, and they also breathed a sigh of relief, they all felt that this time their lives could be saved, and they looked at Li Zhi with a little more affection.

However, Li Zhi arched his hand and said: "But the last general's Fanjiazhuang is the key to the west of the Tian0jin Acropolis, and the last general can't give up, and he is willing to lead the troops to defend it!" ”

Adjutant generals, staff generals, guerrillas, garrisons, and guards, all the generals turned to look at Li Zhi with surprised faces when they heard this.

West Lockkey? Isn't Fanjiazhuang just a tunpu? What kind of lock and key? If you don't take the way to hide in the big cities of the state and county to save your life, you want to stay alone in the tunpu to fight the Tartars? This son is dying? Drink too much, right?
