A few years ago, the Tartars came to attack and besieged the capital Deshengmen, and the soldiers and horses in the city did not dare to go to war at all. Fortunately, Jiannu's ability to attack fortifications is very average, and the city of Beijing is high and deep, and there are border troops outside the city who come to help contain the Tartars, and the Tartars retreat. If you only rely on the soldiers in the city, then there is really no hope.

In fact, since the Zhengde Dynasty, the Beijing camp has been dilapidated, and in order to revitalize the border army, Emperor Wuzong Zhengde also made a move to transfer the border army and the Beijing camp. That is to say, the elite soldiers from the border areas of Xuanfu Datong were transferred to the Beijing division to defend the capital. The soldiers of the Beijing camp were transferred to the border towns, so that they could guard the frontier and experience wars. In the end, this matter had no effect, the Beijing camp was still decadent as usual, but the elite of the border army led by Jiang Bin, Xu Tai and others into the Weijing Division was famous, and it was called the four foreign armies.

In the years that followed, there were often rumors that the Beijing camp was going to be rectified, but in the end, it was basically all over.

You must know that the existence of Jingying is related to the financial resources of many people! The number of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp and the huge annual salary all fell into the pockets of those people in the end, how could they allow the rectification of the Beijing camp? Wouldn't that cut off one's own financial resources?

As for what to do if there is no army to resist when the army is under the city, I will take care of you!

On the tower of Fucheng Gate, the lanterns are lit, and the soldiers guarding the city are gathering in the city tower to chat nonsense.

Suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves under the city, and by the means of a shout.

There are reed mats on the ground in the city tower, and a group of people are sitting or lying, they are all wearing the clothes of the Ming army, but they all have the appearance of a little soldier, lazy and lazy, tired and tight.

Hearing the shouts from below the city tower, an officer dressed lazily yawned and kicked the soldier at his feet: "Chen San'er, go take a look." ”

"Yes, Master Cheng!"

The soldier hurriedly answered, stood up, staggered out of the tower, and shouted downward, "Who, this big night, howling? ”

A voice came from under the city: "Eight hundred miles of urgency, northwest military situation!" ”

"What is the broken ......" Chen San'er shook his head and scolded and said,

"What, eight hundred miles expedited? Northwest military intelligence? Chen San'er suddenly turned around and said in shock.

After getting the affirmative confirmation from the city, Chen San'er almost rushed to the city gate building, and said loudly: "Cheng Ye, Cheng Ye, is it an urgent military situation report in the northwest, or an eight-hundred-mile urgency." The little one doesn't dare to call the shots, please give me instructions, do we want to open the city gate? ”

When Cheng Ye heard this, he was sleepy, but he also woke up at this time, suddenly stood up, and scolded: "What are you still doing in a daze!" Hurry up, get out of the basket, let them put the paperwork in it, if they can come up to someone! ”

"Eh, yes, yes!"

A few soldiers hurriedly answered and prepared the big basket.

It's already night, and the gates can't be opened anyway, but the 800-mile expedited military report can't be slackened, and it must be sent in. So he dragged one of the messengers and the army newspaper into the city in a basket.

Soon, a man was hanged.

The officer called Cheng Ye inspected the fire paint seal in the man's hand and the big seal covered on it, nodded, and said, "This is true." ”

Then he personally accompanied the man down the city wall and rushed towards the general administration.

The military newspapers and seals in these places must first go to the General Political Department, and then the General Political Secretary will distribute them to the cabinet or directly present them to the emperor.

At this time, the adults of the General Administration Department went home to rest, but there was still someone on duty, and this expedited military information was handed over, and the officials who stayed behind did not dare to slack off, and went to discuss with the General Political Envoy, and the General Political Envoy went directly to the palace. Naturally, the palace can't be entered, but the cantata can be handed in.

Emperor Chongzhen was strong, and many important pieces were sent directly to Emperor Chongzhen, not to the cabinet.

So on the second day, after Emperor Chongzhen finished grooming, the eunuch of the celebrant Bingbi and the governor of Dongchang, Cao Huachun, came over with the concerto.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, the hall was brightly lit, but it was still dark outside the hall.

Emperor Chongzhen has always gotten up very early, and he is extremely diligent in political affairs, and he has never slackened. Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the one who can be compared with him in terms of diligence may be Emperor Taizu. Far more than his brother Emperor Apocalypse and his grandfather Emperor Wanli.

It's a pity that the overall situation in the world is almost impossible to return, and it is not something he can change by himself. Not to mention, he also has all kinds of character flaws.

He was not yet thirty years old, but he already had a lot of gray hair, and he looked quite haggard.

Cao Huachun bent his waist, walked in with a small step, held the chapter in his hand, and sent it to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Yo, Lao Cao is here?" A smile appeared at the corner of Emperor Chongzhen's mouth.

Although Emperor Chongzhen exterminated Wei Zhongxian, this did not mean that he did not need eunuchs. Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, except for the founding ones, none of them could leave the eunuchs. The relationship between Emperor Chongzhen and the eunuchs is actually very close, Chongzhen Dynasty, Cao Huachun in the front, and Wang Chengen in the back, are all very important eunuchs.

However, compared with Liu Jin and Wang Zhizhi, these two are much stronger. can do things, have the ability, know how to advance and retreat, hold heavy fists but not interfere too much, in the end, there are not many good eunuchs in power like this.

There were some white hairs in the tray on the side, which was just plucked from the head of Emperor Chongzhen by the palace maid, and Zhu Youzhen, who had been the emperor for eight years before he was established, took over the chapter, glanced at it, and his face suddenly became solemn.

"The eight hundred miles of the Northwest Military Intelligence is expedited?" He looked at Cao Huachun and asked.

Cao Huachun said: "Yes, Emperor." Sent into the city overnight last night, the people of the General Administration Department did not dare to slack off, and stuffed it into the palace through the crack in the door. ”

He sighed: "If it weren't for the urgency, the old slave really didn't want to bring it to you." You slept so late, got up so early, you have to work hard just when you get up, and the old slave looks sorry for you! ”

Emperor Chongzhen pointed at him with a smile, didn't speak, just opened the fold and looked at it intently.

At first his face was solemn and his brow was tense, because he did not know what was written inside. Since it is the Northwest Military Intelligence, it is very likely that it is bad news, and since he ascended the throne, there has been a succession of bad news, and he has become accustomed to it. But when he looked at it, his brows furrowed, and a smile appeared on his face.

At the end, after reading the concerto, he put it on the table, slapped the table hard, and laughed heartily.

Cao Huachun blinked on the side, his face full of disbelief. He was so happy, how long had he not seen the emperor smile like this?

Chongzhen was probably too happy to sit still, so he stood up and walked back and forth in the room, laughing as he went.

Cao Huachun will also make fun of it, and said with a smile: "Emperor, why are you so happy?" But where is the great news? ”

"Chahar Ministry, it's clear to us!"

Emperor Chongzhen was in high spirits, and laughed and said: "Liu Ruozai has made a great contribution, I didn't mistake him, I want to reward him heavily!" ”

"Eh!" Cao Huachun was also full of joy: "This is a great event!" ”
