After the fall of Zunhua, Huang Taiji did not stop, immediately waved the army to march, the soldiers pointed directly at the Beijing Division, along the way, the Eight Banners soldiers seemed to enter the realm of no one, along the way the state and county are all eroded, and the people died countless!

For a time, the Ming Dynasty and the opposition were shaken, and Emperor Chongzhen imposed martial law on the Jingshi, issued an edict from the king of Qin, calling on the world's soldiers and horses to enter the king of Beijing!

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan, who was bent on annihilating Huang Taiji, finally arrived at the city of Jingshi on November 17 in the second year of Chongzhen after many days of rapid marching!

Looking at the Jingshi who was still safe and sound, Yuan Chonghuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and rushed to catch up, and finally arrived before Huang Taiji, everything was still in time!

At this moment, a fast horse came to Yuan Chonghuan's face, only to see the man roll the saddle and dismount, and said to Yuan Chonghuan: "Inspector, General Zhao and six thousand Guanning soldiers were wiped out in Zunhua City, and no one survived!" ”

"What!"

Yuan Chonghuan was shocked, and immediately walked up to the man and asked, "Have you found out clearly?" ”

The man said solemnly: "The humble position has been confirmed again and again, and I will never dare to mislead the teacher!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan only felt dizzy for a while, and he couldn't stand steadily!

"Overseer!"

Yang Xingkun, Zu Dashou and others around him hurriedly supported Yuan Chonghuan, and they all looked at him with concern, at this time, Zhao Shujiao was already dead, if Yuan Chonghuan had another good one, it would be over!

After Yuan Chonghuan recovered some of his spirits, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "Zhao Manzi, you and I are like brothers, how can you be willing to abandon me!" Now, the burden of state affairs is on your shoulders, how can you bear to put this burden on me alone! You Zhao man! ”

Yang Xingkun saw Yuan Chonghuan's heartache, and hurriedly persuaded: "The superintendent also asks for condolences and changes, General Zhao died heroically for the country, this is a supreme glorious thing, why grieve!" We should take General Zhao as a model, exterminate the Tartar slaves, and restore my Liaodong homeland! ”

Zu Dashou also persuaded: "Mr. is right, Supervisor, now that the enemy is present, we must fight with all our might, if there is a slight mistake, how can we be worthy of General Zhao's spirit in the sky!" ”

"Yes, Inspector, you are our backbone, you have to hold up for my Ming!"

A group of generals and generals have comforted Yuan Chonghuan, not to mention, these few words are really useful, I saw that Yuan Chonghuan slowly stabilized his emotions, and everyone was relieved!

After his mood stabilized, Yuan Chonghuan said to Yang Xingkun: "Sir, please send someone to spread the word to the city, just say that the governor asks to meet the emperor!" Huang Taiji's Eight Banners are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, we must rush to the arrival of Huang Taiji to advance to the city to deploy defense, otherwise, the battle situation will be unpredictable! ”

Yang Xingkun happily accepted the order and said, "Don't worry, the student will do it!" ”

After Yang Xingkun left, Yuan Chonghuan immediately began to prepare to enter the palace to see the driver, and he was also thinking about how to tell the emperor about his plan in his heart.

Not long after, Yang Xingkun returned, and Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly tidied up his appearance, and then said, "Sir, you go into the city with this governor." ”

Saying that, Yuan Chonghuan was going to the city.

Who knew that he was stopped by Yang Xingkun, Yuan Chonghuan was stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Sir, why is this?" ”

Yang Xingkun arched his hand and said: "Inspector, there is a word in the palace that the emperor is unwell and does not see the courtiers!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but be stunned, what is the situation now, this Emperor Taiji is going to hit the Jingshi, and the emperor doesn't see me, there must be something wrong here!

Then Yuan Chonghuan saw Yang Xingkun's preoccupied appearance, and knew that he must have heard something, so Yuan Chonghuan asked, "Sir, what are you hiding from me?" ”

Yang Xingkun didn't dare to hide it, so he said: "Don't dare to deceive the supervisor, the student just heard a rumor!" ”

"What rumors?" Yuan Chonghuan asked eagerly, instinctively, he just felt a little bad!

Yang Xingkun hesitated for a while, and then told Yuan Chonghuan about the rumors he heard.

It turned out that at this time, there was a rumor circulating in the Ming Dynasty and the people, saying that he Yuan Chonghuan was a traitor, he put Huang Taiji in, and it was he who led the way in front and led Huang Taiji to burn and loot in the capital of the Ming Dynasty!

There are many people who believe this rumor, especially those ordinary people, who are even more convinced, these ordinary people only know that Yuan Chonghuan is used by the imperial court to block the Tartars, and now that the Tartars are here, you Yuan Chonghuan is safe, you are not a traitor, so who is a traitor!

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "This is a rumor spread by a thief, this governor is dedicated to the country, and he runs for the state affairs all day long, how can there be a trace of slackness!" What kind of heart are they! ”

Yang Xingkun immediately comforted: "The superintendent is angry, this rumor seriously hurts the superintendent, the discerning people can see it clearly, the superintendent is the backbone of my Ming country, and the Tartar slaves have been fighting for many years, and the determination and will of the superintendent can be seen in the world!" In that case, why should the Overseer care! Rumors stop at the wise, and the Governor must not be angry about it! ”

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but sigh in the end, and said: "I, Yuan Chonghuan, am a scholar, I originally wanted to learn through the past and the present, and be taught by the industry.

Later, if it weren't for the erosion of Liaodong's state affairs, how could I, Yuan Chonghuan, give up my pen and follow Rong, and the civil official with this scenery would not do it, and go to be this general! Among the hardships, a few know it!

Sir, I feel so uncomfortable! It doesn't matter how hard and tired you are, even if you don't want this life, I don't care, but looking at the people I want to protect, but looking at me like this, how can you make me not heartbroken! ”

Yang Xingkun was also moved when he heard it, he was born as a person, because of bad luck, he couldn't be an official, and then Yuan Chonghuan appreciated it and followed him, this is the career has a little hope,

To this day, no one in Liaodong should be polite when he sees him, but what can he do! How many people scolded themselves in the back for mixing with some Qiu Bawu all day long, which is really a shame for the saint!

He is like this, why is he Yuan Chonghuan not like this! How many people scolded him in the back for having a bad brain, there are dignified civil officials who don't do it, and there are extremely decent old ministers who don't do it, and go to be the martial artist who only knows how to dance knives and guns all day long! What a sage book that has been blind for decades!

"Hey! The overseer looks away, most people in the world are like clouds, and how many people can put aside grievances and hatreds and look at a person with a normal heart! Even though the world misunderstands the Inspector, our subordinates know that the Inspector is sincere and dedicated to the country! ”

After Yang Xingkun finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart, feeling aggrieved for himself and Yuan Chonghuan!
