Chapter 844: Breaking the Siege

Cheng Xiaolian looked up in Hejian Mansion: "I'm afraid there will be a heavy rain in this weather." Calculating the time, Wang Jiyong should have arrived at the foot of Beijing, and perhaps the battle has already begun. ”

Qin Yue nodded: "We should hurry up, if we are blocked by the heavy rain, we will kill General Wang." ”

Immediately, the army began to march rapidly towards Beijing, and within an hour Yang Youcai had already rushed over: "I just got the news that Wang Jiyong has already fought with the Mongolian cavalry. ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Let the army get out of the baggage and go into battle, we are not going to attack the city, those heavy ordnance and grain and grass are useless, and when we finish this battle, the baggage should also arrive." ”

Soon the army began to separate, leaving behind the baggage and the grain and grass team, and the rest of the men began to run with their weapons.

Qin Yue glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Majesty, you have just recovered from your serious injuries, it is better to stay in the rear, there are more battles in front of you, and there are no less than you, we are robbing Beijing this time, we don't need Your Majesty to boost morale, and these people under your command also know what to do." ”

Cheng Xiaolian thought about it and nodded: "Then please leave everything to Lord Qin." He is no longer the adventurous Cheng Xiaolian he used to be, he only knows that his life is precious after dying once, and even every time he thinks of the miserable situation of leaving orphans and widows in Chengdu Mansion, it makes people feel cold. Besides, Qin Yue is right, he doesn't need to go into battle in person in this war, everyone in Beijing is from the dragon's ministers, glory and wealth are indispensable, this is more than any reward.

Looking at the figure of the army leaving, Yang Youcai laughed: "Your Majesty, I thought you would be the first to rush forward regardless of dissuasion." ”

Cheng Xiaolian looked at Yang Youcai and laughed: "You also have a third-room lady, have you ever thought about what you will do if you die one day?" ”

"Your Majesty, you don't understand, when I married my daughter-in-law, I couldn't even see the shadow of the Ming Dynasty when I was destroyed, I lived a life of licking blood with a knife, so I left them silver early, telling them that if they think I can't come back, it's okay to remarry, but I can't let my seed follow someone else's surname, and the silver left is enough for them to live for a lifetime, and I also owe it to my insight, I found three ladies, we went to Myanmar for so long, and no one remarried."

"Hehe, your wife can remarry, my wife has nowhere to run, just take the children around them as an example, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty will not let them hide, I can't put my wife and children under the nest for a momentary enjoyment, and besides, there are some things that can be desperate, this kind of unnecessary desperate thing, I will stop. Daming is no longer a sheep that everyone bullies, so there is no need to gamble with his life. ”

"It's great that Your Majesty can think like this, don't you know that every time you act, my heart is up and down, and every time I go out, I don't dare to fall asleep at night, for fear that something will go wrong."

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "You, the commander of Jinyiwei, don't come to me to ask for merit and reward, since you are aiming at Jinyiwei, the official can't be promoted, you can only add a knighthood, Jinyiwei's power will not be restored to its heyday, otherwise there will be another East Factory, and Jinyiwei will be easy to play for the tiger." ”

"Your Majesty, you are too worried, until now we don't even have a eunuch in our house, where did you come from."

"Do you think I have the power to resist the opinions of all the ministers and abolish the eunuch system?"

"That's not possible, some live palace maids in the palace can't do it, they can only do it with eunuchs, if the guards can enter and leave the harem at will, wouldn't this harem be chaotic."

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "At least in the era of imperial power, eunuchs are indispensable products of deformity, since they can't be avoided, they can only be allowed to exist, who can say exactly what is going on in this palace, so it's better to strangle this sign to death, I can only take care of the things in front of me, but I can't care about the things in a hundred years." ”

Yang Youcai nodded: "That's right, our Jinyiwei will be used by those eunuchs because of the lack of rules, otherwise how could they leave an infamy, so that my master will not be at ease when he dies." ”

On the other side, Wang Jiyong rushed into Galdan's military formation with the cavalry, the two sides fought for a while, no one could help anyone, the melee between the two sides fought from noon until it was dark, and finally Galdan had no choice but to collect his troops and return to the camp.

This time the morale of the Mongolian cavalry has fallen a lot, the success of the siege is in sight, everyone seems to see that the treasure has arrived at hand, as soon as you stretch out your hand to get it into your hands, the result suddenly killed a Ming cavalry, directly let the cooked duck fly, these people from the imminent success suddenly faced the end of failure, the psychological gap is too big, naturally some can not bear.

And Galdan was also very anxious at this time, on the one hand, because the combat effectiveness of the Daming cavalry that suddenly rushed out made him jealous, and on the other hand, he was thinking about his own back road. If the war is scorched for two more days, I am afraid that they will have to withdraw from Shuntianfu, after all, they are outsiders, and if they are made dumplings, there is a risk of annihilation.

Now he had to think about a question, if Beijing City could not be defeated, would he be able to support his subordinates by capturing these prefectures and counties on the way back?

Of course, if you evacuate, you have to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Ming army, if you are discovered by the Ming army, you may not be able to chase and kill, let alone loot property, it is not easy to return to Mongolia with all the tails.

Different from the pessimistic atmosphere in the Galdan camp, the people of Beijing City are relieved, Liao Dekai originally planned to invite the Ming army into the city, but Wang Jiyong brought all the cavalry he trained wholeheartedly, and the combat effectiveness of the city was lost a lot, it was better to go around the city for a few days, as long as the army arrived in Beijing, Galdan would never have the opportunity to break through the city.

Although Wang Jiyong and the others did not enter the city, the atmosphere in the city was much happier than the previous two days, and there was even laughter between words.

"I tell you, I can see with my own eyes today, the army of the Ming Dynasty rode into the Mongolian cavalry, it was really like Changshan Zhao Zilong reborn, killed a seven in and seven out, and killed the Mongolian cavalry to the point of blood and collapse, if it wasn't for the early dark, I'm afraid that Galdan's head has been cut off now."

"Yes, I also saw it, I heard the older generation in my family say that the Mongolian cavalry hit the city back then, and there was no cavalry in the Ming Dynasty to compete with it, and now that the Ming Dynasty has such an elite cavalry, it will definitely be able to recover the world, and then we won't have to suffer from the idleness of those Manchu people."

"That's right, I was the first to approve of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, they are all Han people, and the lawsuit will not all be biased towards the Manchu banner people, last time the Manchu banner people discounted Liu Erleg on the street, and only lost fifteen taels of silver, and this family was ruined."
