Chapter 6 Riding Public Opinion to Spread the More
"Li Yongchang, the governor of Jizhou, knocked to see Your Majesty. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Minister, Jizhou soldiers, Yang Yuji, knock to see Your Majesty."
……
Yang Feng, who was covered in blood, looked at the grass on the wall kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face, it was obvious that this kind of thing was too exaggerated to let the emperor die in front of the door, these guys were all guys who had read the books of sages, and they knew very well that if this was the case, they would be stinking for thousands of years, and no matter who was their new master, they would never use such courtiers again.
This is important.
So the gates of Jizhou were finally opened.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how many soldiers and horses are available in Jizhou at this time?"
He asked, taking a deep breath.
"Your Majesty, that's all."
Yang Yuji said cautiously.
"That's all?"
Yang Feng looked at both sides speechlessly, there were four or five hundred people in total, less than a hundred cavalry inside, and they were all old and weak, at least they had nothing to do with the elite soldiers, if it weren't for the cannons to support the field, it was estimated that they wouldn't be able to scare away the hundreds of Shun troops, saying that this Jizhou is also one of the best military fortresses in northern Beijing, and the place where Qi Jiguang was guarded back then, although such a terrifying and exaggerated thing happened by sneaking over, but only this bit of soldiers and horses is still a bit too exaggerated.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou are all there in Tangtong."
Yang Yuji said.
"Tang Tong, this traitor has wasted my grace."
Yang Feng said with a sneer.
Only then did he remember that Tang Tong was the chief soldier of Jizhen, and it was obvious that Yang Yuji also knew that Tang Tong had surrendered at Juyong Pass at this time, but he really had time, and he could still collect thousands of people near Jizhou, this area is a complete and huge defense system, and there is not just a garrison in Jizhou.
But now he has no time.
"Prepare meals immediately, mobilize all the cavalry in Jizhou, and escort me to Shanhaiguan!"
Then he said.
"Your Honor!"
Yang Yuji and the two hurriedly said.
These two wish he was leaving, and everyone knew that he would be in a lot of trouble here.
"My lord, there are soldiers and horses coming outside!"
At this moment, the soldiers watching from the city wall suddenly shouted.
Yang Feng hurriedly turned around and rushed up the city wall, there were indeed soldiers and horses coming outside, but the number was still not too much, only a few hundred cavalry, soon these people arrived at the city, the first civil official urged the horse forward, Wang Chengen, who was standing beside Yang Feng, looked at him and immediately shouted in surprise: "Your Majesty, it's Governor Song." ”
"Open the door!"
Yang Feng immediately shouted.
The governor of Song must be Song Quan, the last governor of Shuntian, his station is in Miyun, after Tang Tong surrendered Li Zicheng into Juyong Pass, Song Quan's department fled, he led a group of people to hide near here, the Qing army entered the pass and he surrendered to the Qing, and it was very important, his son Song Ju was a famous minister of the Kang Mazi Dynasty, of course, this is not important, the important thing is that Yang Feng knew that this person would not surrender to Li Zicheng.
That's enough.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, and the minister deserves death!"
As soon as Song Quan entered the city, he lay at Yang Feng's feet and cried, he was the governor of Shuntian, the person responsible for Jingbei second only to Wang Yongji, and let Li Zicheng enter the customs from the North Road, which was indeed his direct responsibility.
"Get up, I don't know anyone, I misused a bunch of rebellious ministers and thieves, what do you have to do with Qing!"
Yang Feng helped him up and said.
Song Quan looked at him with some surprise, obviously felt that this emperor was a little different, he was not one of these Zhizhou soldiers who rarely saw the emperor several times in his life, he knew very well that with Chongzhen's character, it was not easy to say this kind of thing, could it be that he was too stimulated in Beijing City.
On the side, Wang Chengen glanced at him.
"Your Majesty, where are you going to be lucky?"
Song Quan asked hurriedly.
"You came just in time, eat first, and immediately go to Shanhaiguan with me after eating, it is estimated that the Guanning army has arrived at this time, and then guard Shanhaiguan first, I have sent an envoy south, it won't be long before the army of King Qin will arrive, and then counterattack and return to the capital."
Yang Feng said.
"Your Honor."
Song Quan said busily.
Yang Feng and others had dinner in the state government, plus the three hundred cavalry brought by Song Quan, the one hundred and fifty cavalry made up by Jizhou, and the remaining thirty people of Jinyiwei, and the other twenty had just died, so that the total was less than five hundred cavalry, plus a Shuntian governor, a Chen staff general who commanded the army, and the party left Jizhou and went straight to Zunhua in the northeast. They knew very well that after the chasing Shun army ran back, Li Zicheng's army would soon arrive, in fact, Song Quan ran into the defeated Shun army, only to know that the emperor had run out, but he originally wanted to go to Zunhua.
Their group was a fast cavalry, and they arrived in Zunhua when it was dark.
At this time, Wang Yongji had already gone to Fengrun, and Song Quan, who was also cunning and cunning, also knew very well that no one dared to trust him at this time, including his top boss and old friend, so he also supported Yang Feng to go to Shanhaiguan to seize the army. After staying in Zunhua for one night, the next day, together with Tang Yu, the former Xuanhua general who was in Zunhua, and a deputy general and 300 cavalrymen, according to Zhang Luo of Song Quan, they made some improvised honor guards for the Son of Heaven and went straight to Shanhaiguan. Including Yang Feng's dragon robe was also washed, originally Song Quan wanted to sew it up for him, although it was too late to make a new one, but the dragon robe was not decent except for the holes or the openings.
However, Yang Feng refused.
"I just want them to see, I can still bathe in blood, can't they?"
Yang Feng said.
At this time, he was already sitting in a carriage, kneeling next to Huang Ying, Song Quan followed outside on horseback, there were a large number of cavalry guards on the left and right, and it was a bit of a public opinion, in fact, at this time, the soldiers were still very simple, at least before the enemy army arrived, they were still able to show enough loyalty to the emperor, including those officials and generals, especially this can be regarded as a meritorious escort, and the soldiers under the influence of various legendary operas are full of enthusiasm!
"Your Majesty."
Song Quan said busily.
Of course he is not those soldiers, he is cunning and cunning, but he knows very well that this trip is not so simple at all, a king of a dead country has a fart majesty, if he goes to Shanhaiguan if Gaodi is really loyal, it is better to say, if not, it is completely possible to tie them up and lose their sincerity to Li Zicheng, at that time he didn't think that these 800 cavalry would fight for the escort, and the emperor could be regarded as knowing his feelings.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to make clear, but His Majesty must pardon the minister's innocence."
He said cautiously.
"Borrowing troops to suppress the Kou?"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Well, Your Majesty Shengming, at present, the closest army in the south to Beijing is none other than Liu Zeqing, and it is thousands of miles away from Shanhaiguan, but the rebellious army is only four hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan, plus the time of news transmission, I am afraid that even if Wu Sangui and others are loyal, they will need to hold Shanhaiguan for at least more than a month. What's more, it is also difficult for Liu Zeqing's troops to defeat the thief army, and it is unlikely that the reinforcements will be hopeless within half a year, and it is still difficult to predict whether the two armies of Wu and Gao can defend Shanhaiguan for half a year, and there are still more than 100,000 people in Wu's department, and hundreds of thousands of people are crowded in Shanhaiguan, not to mention that food alone is definitely not enough.
From this point of view, Shanhaiguan may not be able to protect itself.
And the best plan for today is to imitate the story of Tang Suzong to borrow troops to suppress the Kou, and borrow the Qing soldiers to go south to make huge profits, so that they can be enemies with the thieves, and no matter whether they succeed or fail, they can be delayed until the army of King Qin gathers. ”
Song Quan said.
"What if Jiannu is entrenched and doesn't leave?"
Yang Feng said.
"Your Majesty, I can't take care of these at this time, and if he doesn't leave, my Qinwang army gathers, nothing more than to expel him again, as long as he is not allowed to enter the Shanhai Pass, but to take the Zunhua Jizhou Road, our army strictly guards the Shanhaiguan, even if Jiannu has different intentions, at most it is just a plunder, which is not a big deal."
Song Quan said.
"What if the slave is the same party as the rebel?"
Yang Feng said.
"Your Majesty, if it is the same party as the rebel, even if they don't borrow troops, they will also go south, but the minister infers that they are not like this, the rebel has been based on Guanzhong Shanxi, and then get the direct subordinate then half of the world is owned by it, at that time the rebellion will not stop here, maybe the next target is Liaodong, if Jiannu helps the rebel not only to make wedding clothes with others, but also to set up a strong enemy for themselves, on the contrary, if we master the Shanhaiguan, then it is impossible for the rebel to go north, so that we are beneficial to Jiannu."
Song Quan said.
He was embarrassed to say that it was like this now, so he just broke the jar and broke it, anyway, it was a knife to stretch his neck and shrink his neck, so he simply went out and gambled.
It can be seen that he is still very sober, he knows that the army of King Qin has no drama, if the Jiangbei army is useful, he will not let Li Zicheng fight from Guanzhong to Beijing, that is to say, to stick to Shanhaiguan and wait for help, of course, to flee south is also suicide, at this time, it is estimated that the Tianjin area has also fallen into the hands of Li Zicheng, that is to say, the left and right are a dead end, the only way to survive is to borrow the Qing army to suppress the Kou, as for what to do after the borrowing the Qing army to suppress the Kou......
Then let's talk about it later!
His set of theories coincides with Wang Yongji, so it can be seen that this is the voice of those Wenchen who are still a little disciplined.
And also standing in Chongzhen's position, this is also the only choice at present, and there is a certain feasibility in theory, although Dolgon's army has set off and is ready to partner with Li Zicheng to attack Beijing, but that is in the case that Li Zicheng did not seize Beijing, and Li Zicheng seized Beijing, which means that he has become the new lord of the Central Plains, so that he has become the biggest threat to the Qing army, and he will not allow the Qing army to enter the customs, even if it is under the banner of helping him.
In this way, the remnant Ming became an ally of the Qing instead.
However, Yang Feng is not Chongzhen, he and Li Zicheng have no enmity with Dai Tian, this world can give Li Zicheng can give Zhang Xianzhong, but definitely not Tartar.
"This matter needs to be considered in the long run."
He said with a deep face.
"Your Majesty."
Song Quan said with a sigh of relief.
He knew that this meant that the emperor was tempted, after all, there was really no other choice now, and it was completely unrealistic not to borrow troops to suppress Kou and expect reinforcements, which was simply unrealistic, and to defend Shanhaiguan was to sit and wait to die, but to die early and die late for a day.
