Zhu Youzhen explained to Wang Chengen that he wanted to leave as many people as possible to do things, and emphasized the target of leaving 6,500 people. After all, these are all experienced, and they are all killed at one time, and if the officialdom system is to be rebuilt in the future, there will be no way to find so many people! You can't use all raw melons and eggs! You are incorruptible, and you can't understand bullshit!

While the two of them were talking, a panicked herald came in outside, "Princess, it's not good, Deshengmen has released wolf smoke!" Jiannu has begun to attack the city! ”

Wang Chengen and Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen were shocked! Wang Chengen pressed his hand down! "What are you talking about! I know, this matter will be kept secret for the time being, and the old man will go to present it to the saint! Go down! ”

Zhu Youzhen secretly said that Wang Chengen is old and spicy, and he always looks like he is not surprised, at least this is much stronger than himself, a person who has a hundred years of political cultivation, and he is a little calmer!

Wang Chengen waited for the man to leave, and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, what now?" The Jingcha plan has just been halfway through, and if you give up at this time, it is very likely that those officials who have not yet found it will unite to make trouble! That's all over! If you don't give up, the officers and soldiers of the entire Beijing Division are now on the streets, and the Imperial Forest Army defending the city only has less than 5,000 men and horses from Yuan Keli! ”

Zhu Youzhen raised his hand and signaled him to shut up, he wanted to think about it, Zhu Youzhen's head hurt, this was a mistake in his own judgment, originally the Eight Banners would fight the Jingshi again before leaving, this is something he knows, but it was caused by him letting Man Gui seek a battle! And Man Gui also died in front of the battle because of that war! Now he has recruited the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu and Datong into the outer city defense, and he has not taken the initiative to seek battle! Why did they dare to attack the strongly-defended Jingshi? The only explanation is that there are spies among the soldiers and horses newly recruited by Xuanfu and Datong, and they don't know what means to use to reveal the situation of the Beijing Division!

In fact, in war, aside from the tactics of winning by surprise, it is more a contest of national strength, economic strength and people's hearts!

"The Jingcha plan can't be abandoned halfway! Come on, even if there are only five thousand people, it will be enough to defend against the Tartars! You don't have to worry about it, just rest assured that you will continue to control the Jingcha plan, and I will deal with it! Zhu Youzhen commanded in a low voice, and accidentally said that he leaked his mouth and ran out, which shows that he is also very impatient!

Wang Chengen whispered anxiously, "Holy Lord! ”

Zhu Youzhen held his hand, "Big companion!" There are so many things that you have to take risks! Don't worry, since I am the son of tomorrow, my ancestors will definitely bless me! I am destiny! ”

Wang Chengen's anxious tears fell again, "The emperor doesn't believe in the Mandate of Heaven, people are also very important, five thousand people are not enough to stabilize the city defense of the Beijing Division!" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled confidently, "You forgot, there are more than 200,000 beggars!" As long as you feed these people, you don't have to be afraid of more tartars! ”

Wang Chengen nodded, and immediately shook his head, "Your Majesty, this step is also an absolute risky move, now the officers and soldiers are used in the Beijing inspection plan, this disaster relief is also particular, usually the imperial court's disaster relief food is not enough, but there are officers and soldiers to suppress, and they are not worried about chaos!" If the emperor uses beggars to defend the city, he must ensure that these people are fed at every meal! Jingshi is now suffering from a food shortage! Once these people run out of food and grass and turn against each other, the consequences will be unimaginable! You can kill 30,000, but you can't kill 200,000! Once this thing spreads, the world will be in chaos! Therefore, the idea of using beggars to defend the city is really thoughtful! ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said in a deep voice, "I will consider it!" I have a destiny! I am the son of tomorrow, destiny returns, rest assured! ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that he would not be able to reassure Wang Chengen for a while, so he could only use this set of statements, sometimes feudal superstition can solve many problems, he is an emperor, of course he has to use more!

Sure enough, the statement that the destiny of heaven returned made Wang Chengen feel a lot more at ease, and he no longer opposed the emperor's point of view, otherwise Wang Chengen would still have to focus on stability! After all, in Wang Chengen's heart! The wealth of the world together is not worth the emperor's risk!

Zhu Youzhen knew that he could not defend the Jingshi with the appeal of a seven-rank small flag, so he had to ride back to Wang Chengen's private residence, and then enter the palace through the secret passage, get up and drive straight to Desheng Gate!

This time, because the people were blocked at home, most of the officials had been shuanggui, and there was no hindrance, but it also made the emperor's heart a little lonely, and the last time tens of thousands of people helped defend the city is still vivid!

Approaching Desheng Tower, Jiannu's drums seemed to beat in the emperor's heart, Zhu Youzhen's whole person was a little stiff, he was not a person who was not afraid of death!

A huge fire bomb flew over the city wall and smashed directly towards Zhu Youzhen's royal car! Zhu Youzhen quickly rushed out of the royal car, a volley jump, and before he landed, the royal car had become a big fire! All the eunuchs wept! The only eunuchs that the emperor can use now are eunuchs, and more than 4,000 eunuchs led by Cao Huachun have all left the palace to help defend the city!

Yuan Keli saw this scene at the head of the city, and rushed down the city tower crying and shouting to check the emperor's injury, Zhu Youzhen was not injured, but the fall was not light, and he couldn't slow down for a long time!

"What are you crying about! Let's all defend the city! I'm fine! Zhu Youzhen straightened his crown and said loudly.

Yuan Keli knelt on the ground and held the emperor's knees, "Your Majesty, please go back to the palace, the old minister promised the emperor, and the old minister would not let the city defense lose even if he was broken!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was very angry, "The last time Huang Taiji personally marched, 50,000 iron cavalry of the Eight Banners came to the city, I was not afraid, is there more today than that day?" Let go, if you don't let go, you will be a bully! ”

Yuan Keli cried, "Your Majesty! Today is not less than that day, the 50,000 army of Huang Taiji is under the city of Wei Ran! If you look at the offensive, you are determined to attack the city! And we only have more than 4,000 people, most of these officers and soldiers are Datong's soldiers and horses, and they only listen to Mangui's dispatch! Plus these eunuchs, it's useless! ”

Zhu Youzhen stood up suddenly, "Fifty thousand troops? Didn't it say that the battle report on the front line said that Huang Taiji had gone to Xifengkou and that the army was ready to retreat? At most, more than 10,000 people from Dolgon's invasion of the south, right? Why are Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzong's battle reports so inaccurate? ”

Yuan Keli wiped his tears, "They were all beaten and cowered in small castles, and they were simply playthings in the hands of Huang Taiji!" Their battle reports are not to be believed! Your Majesty, go back to the palace immediately, the old minister swears to live and die with the city defense! ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't want to think about it, "In this case, Cao Huachun, immediately go and transport all the stored grain to the city wall!" Summoning all the beggars in the city to defend the city! ”

Cao Huachun and Yuan Keli were shocked when they heard this! In unison, he said, "Never! ”
