On the 19th day of the first lunar month, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, asked himself to supervise the division to go south, and he led about 50,000 troops. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the three battalions of the Beijing Division have a fixed number of 100,000 troops, and there are 160,000 officers and soldiers of the second class in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is really difficult to say how many soldiers and horses there are after all kinds of ills.

50,000 horse steps is also the maximum number of soldiers that Emperor Chongzhen can send to him. In fact, whether there are 50,000 troops in the south, whether Emperor Chongzhen or Zhou Yanru can't figure it out, the number of soldiers in the Beijing camp has always been a confused account.

When the army arrived in Zhuozhou, there were 3,000 battalions of soldiers who could not bear the bitter cold and fatigue, left the superintendent and fled back to Beijing on their own.

When the army reached the new city, it ran another three thousand.

When he arrived in Xiongxian, he ran another 5,000.

At this time, Zhou Yanru still had 40,000 people in name, but when the army arrived in Hejian Mansion, they unfortunately encountered a small group of thieves and horses, about 300 people.

The 40,000 army was scattered, and the last people who remained by Zhou Yanru's side were only the chief soldier Ma Minoru, the deputy chief soldier Guo Zhongyu and others, with a total of less than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

……

On the first day of the first month of February, Li Zicheng was in Jinan to establish the country of Dashun, the year name Yongchang, Tangma reported to the arrival, and Jifu was shaken.

On the tenth day of the first month, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly saw the dynasty as a false seal, and his words were very contradictory, and the monarchs and ministers couldn't help but look at each other.

On the 11th, 12th, and 13th, it was reported that the Daimyo's Mansion, Shunde Mansion, Zhangde Mansion and other places had fallen, and the officials of Hejian Mansion fled.

On the 14th, the thieves probed the horse to the Beijing Division Da'an Station, and said: "Dashun sent officials to Shandong and Henan Prefectures and counties to serve on their behalf, and each official sent the card to the prefecture and county. ”

On the same day, Emperor Chongzhen told all the academies: "Kou Qi is blazing, and Qi Fu is under martial law." ”

February 15, Forbidden City, Huangji Palace.

Today's palace is full of well-dressed beasts, after the establishment of the pseudo-Shun country, Emperor Chongzhen has held a court meeting for many days. The day is right, the courtiers are all training soldiers according to the salary cliché, seeing that there is no one in the court, the emperor did not cry and returned to the palace.

Today, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the throne, and the ministers of the black pressure were all silent, and they only felt sad and helpless in their hearts.

"Do you have a plan for the Emperor?"

Emperor Chongzhen asked expectantly.

In an embarrassing silence, Zeng Ying was finally selected in the engineering department: "Your Majesty, the rich gentlemen of today, all of them have clothing, rent, food and taxes, and those who sit in peace and suck the marrow of the people will win by fooling the people on weekdays, and will have their own benefits." It is unreasonable to want the poor to exert their strength to protect each other. The feudal domains are rich in the world, and every time the thief breaks it, the treasury is not less than one million, and all the thieves are capitalized. If he does not take many people on weekdays, and there are many rewards, it may not be the end. Today's gentry are rich, and it is also advisable to donate a little to help the poor, and also save the people and remove chaos. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, this is right, but unfortunately it is useless.

At this time, Wu Lin was dressed in the matter, and he solemnly came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, Kou is pressing, Sanfu is terrified, please abandon the cities of Yizhou, Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and Qiantun outside Shanhaiguan, and the generals of the king of Tingchen, Cao Bianjiao, and Wu Sangui will enter the customs, and stay in the suburbs to defend the Jingshi!" ”

His words were not very loud, but they were like thunderbolts, echoing throughout the Imperial Palace, and the ministers were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes widened.

Especially those who are bored and feel a little weak, the officials and imperial historians have a burning light in their eyes.

Then as if stabbing a hornet's nest, the words of murderous intent echoed in the Imperial Palace.

"Presumptuous!"

"Thief!"

"Good guts......

"Abandoning the border for no reason, and losing the natural danger of the land, is also for the Han to abandon Liangzhou. Wu Linzheng, thief's ear, please kill him! ”

"Wu Linzheng, a chaotic minister and thief, everyone will be punished!"

"Your Majesty, Wu Linzheng is immortal, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers of the border guards!"

"Wu Linzheng, the battle of Songjin, my Ming Dynasty died in the battle of Zu Dashou, Ma Ke, Bai Guangen, Zuo Guangxian, Li Fuming generals, more than 10,000 casualties, there is now the land of Liaoxi! Wu Linzheng, you have no reason to ask for abandonment, what is your intention, you are a thief? ”

"Wu Linzheng ......"

The sound of the tide of attack and shouting and killing instantly drowned out the officials who were asking to give up the land outside the Shanhai Pass.

Although some courtiers felt that this time was different from the past, the thieves were menacing, and they were in sight of each other, and the matter was urgent and serious. Those who attacked Wu Linzheng were just the views of Yongchen Jiaozhu, and they still didn't know the worries of relieving the frontier and saving the mysteries.

However, at the moment, the crowd is in full swing, and no one dares to stand up and advocate it.

"Then summon the Marquis of Yongning!"

Wu Linzheng was attacked very embarrassed, he suddenly thought of something, and said loudly.

The entire Imperial Palace instantly fell silent, and countless people peeked at the look of Emperor Chongzhen on the throne.

Wu Linzheng secretly glanced at Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, and involuntarily wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

In the silence, Emperor Chongzhen's face was uncertain, and suddenly a sharp voice sounded: "Summoning Wang Dou?" Don't you hear about Cao Mengde and Dong Zhuo? ”

Everyone's hearts trembled, but it was the military department that gave the light in the matter Shi Heng leisurely out of the ranks, he was of medium stature, his face was a little pale, but the words he said were all heart-wrenching words: "I am afraid that the front door will drive the tiger, and the back door will enter the wolf, repeating the disaster of the emperor at the end of the Han Dynasty!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen's hand trembled, and his face turned blue in an instant.

Guang Shiheng's leisurely voice continued to sound: "Kill the gentry, kill the officials, kill the merchants, kill the eunuchs, how is this generation different from the thieves?" If he enters Beijing, will he still have a way for His Majesty and his ministers to live? ”

Emperor Chongzhen's fists clenched and loosened, clenched and loosened, especially when he heard "kill the eunuch", his hands were even more bruised.

All the ministers were silent, only Chen Xinjia let out a long sigh.

“…… The wolf's ambition is secretly manipulating the soldiers and horses, and the scourge of the thief is not under the thief! ”

"Enough!"

Seeing that Shiheng was still talking endlessly, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't hold back any longer, and he suddenly shouted.

Guang Shiheng proudly returned to the court, and secretly looked at Wei Zaode and Chen Yan, scholars of Dongge University.

Emperor Chongzhen sighed and said: "Zuo Zhongyun Li Mingrui once persuaded me to move south, and the scholar Li Jiantai also persuaded me to move south, and persuaded the prince to go to Nanjing first, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, by all means!"

Immediately, a large group of ministers jumped out, especially led by Guang Shiheng in the military department, and he said loudly: "This is heresy, and I want to trap my father in injustice!" Your Majesty, please kill Li Mingrui, if you don't kill this person, it is not enough to calm the people's hearts. If you don't kill this thief, how can you rule the world? ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him coldly, Guangshi Hengran was not afraid, he said loudly: "When Jingtai was in the past, he also entered the Kou first, Xu Youzhen also advocated the theory of moving south, the time is not followed, the pawn can stick to the enemy, and the sect is Yanran." Therefore, the monarch of Er Guoji should stick to the community, which is the right way of ancient and modern monarchs. ”

He said: "Ming Rui's journey to the south, there are also those who have not done the best, if your majesty moves south, and suddenly travels before the thief arrives, the people's hearts will be terrified, and if the capital is about to collapse, the future generations will say that they will abandon their country." If Your Majesty moves to the time when the thief is coming, then the long-distance thorns will inevitably be served by the thief, can you hear the humiliation of Huiqin in the Song Dynasty? ”

The courtiers spoke out one after another, all of them opposed the southward move, especially the scholar Chen Yan and Wei Zaode.

At this time, Shangshu Yuan Jingwen of the Ministry of Industry, Li Jiantai, a university scholar, Shaozhan Xiangyu and others came out, saying that it was better to let the prince raise the army in Jiangnan first, and they were willing to serve the prince first.

Guang Shiheng said sharply: "When the prince goes south, what do the ministers want?" Will you want to be the story of Tang Su Zong's Lingwu? ”

Yuan Jingwen, Xiang Yu and others were shocked, so they didn't dare to speak.

Emperor Chongzhen only felt exhausted, and he asked again about the strategy of war defense, and the ministers were silent.

Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "I am not the king of the dead country, and all the ministers are the ministers of the dead country." ”

Flick your sleeves up.

……

After Nan'an Bohong Chengchou was the governor of the Beijing camp, the means were old and spicy, step by step, and the camp affairs of the Beijing division had greatly improved, but unfortunately he was seriously ill and could not do anything for a long time.

After the next dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen was upset, sad and bitter in his heart, and heard that Hong Chengchou was seriously ill and feared that he would die soon, so he came to visit.

When he saw Hong Chengchou, he was lying on the bed and could not move, but when he saw the emperor coming, he still struggled to get up and salute, and Emperor Chongzhen stopped him and sighed: "Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, let's recuperate with peace of mind." ”

He sat for a while, and finally couldn't help but talk about the affairs of the court, Hong Chengchou said: "Weichen also heard about today's events. ”

Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "Aiqing has a strategy for fighting? ”

Hong Chengchou said: "The best policy, urgently summon the Marquis of Yongning to enter the guard." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was silent.

Hong Chengchou said: "Furthermore, move south quickly. ”

Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "However, there are also examples of Jingtai. ”

Hong Chengchou said: "The situation is very different. ”

He said: "The thieves have broken through, but a strategy to move south may be able to delay the years." Guang Shiheng said that he defended the country, but he borrowed the desperate bet to invite the name, not so loyal to the king. There are those who have power in the world, and the Ming Dynasty is the most important. His Majesty should defend the northern capital, and he should also order the prince to leave quickly, and order the minister to go south and town Nanjing. In a hurry, you can also call on the southeast for the move of King Qin. And it is not the only prince Yinan, that is, Yong, the two kings, and it is also appropriate to divide Zhejiang and Guangdong, and the map of the accident ......"

Emperor Chongzhen still wants to listen again, Hong Chengchou has passed away suddenly. (To be continued.) )
