At this time, Daniel Zhang in Shanxi also came bloodily, and he did not know that Hu Guozhu led people to Tianshou Mountain, and the news only said that the Shanhe army would deal with the Zhou Dynasty army under the city of Beijing.

The sweeping northern army was originally Yuan Zonghao's marshal, but Yuan Zonghao wanted to sit in Shaanxi, stabilize the most important foundation of Daming at present, and also cut off the road of delusional breakthrough from Shaanxi to Sichuan, and Daniel Zhang's becoming the marshal of the sweeping northern army can be said to be a coincidence.

But the more he gets to this time, the more he can't sit firmly in Diaoyutai, for the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty, he is a general, and Cai Yurong is much older than him in terms of official position, but His Majesty promoted him and made him the commander of the Northern Army, if he can't even hold up this field, he won't need to be impeached by other ministers at that time, and he himself has no face to continue to stay in this position.

Now His Majesty is fighting hard in the city of Beijing, no matter in which way, he must rush to the city of Beijing as quickly as possible, at this time the pursuit of steady and steady is not a wise decision, it is definitely to find himself uncomfortable.

Wang Jiyong was also very anxious, basically his cavalry couldn't help much in the siege of Shanxi, so he could only act as a large number of scouts to cut off the connection between these prefectures and counties, and even cut off the enemy's grain routes.

However, this decision of filial piety is still wise, a large number of cavalry appeared on the battlefield, and the combat effect was not very obvious, but the impact was still great, and many defenders in the city began to be moved.

Those who are responsible for defending the city are all literati, shouting that everyone should sacrifice their lives for righteousness and serve the country with death, which is easy to say, but blood can only inspire the defenders for a while, but it cannot keep people's morale high.

In particular, the Ming army under the city is constantly propagating that the Manchu court has abandoned the city, and now Beijing has been beaten down by the Ming army, everyone is Han, and the Han people do not kill the Han people, so let them not fight fearlessly.

Everyone has parents, wives and children, at this time, if the Manchu court has withdrawn from the Guannai because of the death of the defense of the city, there is no silver for the pension, and the government will not have the slightest subsidy to them, and even wait until the Ming army beats the city, and they may be implicated because they are the family members of the defenders.

If it was the world of the Qing Dynasty, they would die in battle, and the government would never watch their parents, wives and children starve to death, but this Ming Dynasty is about to return to the country, and these people don't take much money in total, so it's really not worth it to put this life here.

Soon the combat effectiveness of the city began to decline, and the adults defending the city shouted loudly: "Brothers, Kong said Chengren, Meng said to take righteousness, don't we serve as soldiers to serve the country loyally, if your children know that you died fighting for the country, even if you grow up, you will admire his father!" ”

A strong man walked over suddenly: "Lord Yue, tell us the truth with those of us who are working hard, did our emperor of the Qing Dynasty abandon the city and flee back to Liaodong?" ”

Lord Yue immediately waved his hand: "Don't listen to the nonsense of those thieves in the city, that is their demagogic means, our Qing Dynasty will definitely be able to calm the peace of the universe, and you will all be meritorious ministers at that time!" ”

"Then I want to ask Your Majesty, we have been guarding this city for nearly a month, why don't we see a reinforcement coming, but the enemy's reinforcements are increasing, it doesn't matter if we people repay the country with death, it is only right that the court can let my family survive, my lord, you are also a scholar, you can tell me if there is such a reason, I am a soldier and eats food, a month's salary is only three dollars of silver, and now something happens to pay for the lives of the whole family, should we fight for this life?"

Lord Yue's heart was entangled for a moment, and he immediately strengthened his mind, national affairs are important, and they don't understand these things when they tell these people, and now they can only lie to them.

"There are soldiers and generals in the Qing Dynasty, but it takes time to deploy, I promise you that if you hold it for another five days, the army will be able to reach the city, and I will definitely ask for 。。。。。。credit to the big guy when the time comes."

"Phew!" The strong man in front of him spit on Lord Yue's face violently, and sneered: "Even if Lao Tzu is blind to believe your nonsense, the refugees in Beijing have fled to the countryside, and the relatives in the countryside have just sent in the news, Lord Yue, you are planning to bury us in this dead city!" ”

Saying that, the strong man turned around: "This battle Lao Tzu is not fighting, whoever of you wants to fight!" He took the weapon in his hand and turned to leave.

Of course, he also wanted to throw away the weapon in his hand a little more chicly, but at this time, if this Lord Yue turned his face, he would not even have a self-defense guy, so the weapon was still tightly clutched in his hand.

A large number of people behind him seemed to understand something: "Okay, I said that I didn't see reinforcements for a month, it turned out that I ran away because I saw that the situation was not good, grandma's, surnamed Yue, you are really not a thing." ”

"That's right, it's said that the scholar has no good things, and he wants to harm us mud legs, today I have seen it, and in vain I also told people that Lord Yue had already built a coffin, and he wanted to live and die with this city, I didn't expect it to be this kind of goods!"

Immediately, many people wanted to follow, and Lord Yue reacted quickly: "Don't listen to that reckless man's nonsense, he must have received the benefits of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise this city is so heavily guarded that not even a bird can fly in, how did his relatives come in, come here, arrest this spy for me." The rest of the strong men should not panic, as long as they hold the city, I swear with my life, each of them will be rewarded with five taels of silver, if this oath is violated, people and gods will abandon it! ”

Lord Yue is also a master of mobilizing people's hearts, otherwise this city would not be able to hold for so long, after he said this, everyone did feel that there was some truth, and their emotions were somewhat calm.

At this time, there was a sneer from the crowd: "I believe that others can't pass the news, but Xu Erniu's uncle is a pigeon breeder, if he can't pass the news, he can be regarded as a ghost, brothers, if you are willing to follow this Lord Yue to accompany the funeral, Lao Tzu will not be accompanied." He strode outside.

At this time, the people present almost reacted, and stared carefully at Lord Yue's face: "My lord, can the reinforcements from this court still come, we are all hard-working people, there are young children and mothers at home, if we die here, they will all starve to death, we have to be conscientious, we have a little slack in defending the city these days, you have to leave a way for our parents, wives and children to live." ”

Hearing this, Lord Yue seemed to remember something, and sighed faintly: "I don't know if there are reinforcements, but I promise that I will fight until the last moment, and if there are any children in your family, let's go." When I eat Junlu, I will repay the king's kindness, and I must defend this city no matter what! ”
