Yang Yi actually doesn't know how to fight, and he doesn't know how to deploy defenses, in "Jianghu", the most used is nothing more than to fight more and less, bully the weak with the strong, and take a dignified and upright battle.

And excellent generals know how to win with the right fit and with odds; "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Momentum": "All those who fight, with the right combination, with the odd victory." Therefore, those who are good and surprising are as infinite as heaven and earth, and inexhaustible as rivers and seas. ”

But now, Yang Yi doesn't have to worry about the war, because this is a city defense battle, and it is not the kind of city defense that is absolutely inferior.

This is the capital of a country, and the storage in the city is enough to support the official warehouse for half a year, and Yang Yi is now not only guarding the official warehouse, but also constantly collecting private warehouses.

Now it can be estimated that the grain and grass are enough to eat in the city for a year, and Yang Yi is confident that guarding the capital is not just a matter of sufficient grain and grass.

Since the Yongle Dynasty moved the capital, the high-profile status of the capital as the center, equivalent to a country to support a city, a strong urban drainage system is a low-key highlight of the capital, at this time the construction of drainage ditches, left to hundreds of years after the performance is still very intact, can even fully undertake the middle of the 20th century urban drainage tasks, it is this quality and reliable engineering system, to support a prosperous metropolis.

These engineering personnel who built the city were definitely overkill when they put it on the renovation of the city wall, but at this time, they couldn't think about it so much, after all, it was impossible to carry out any new projects.

There is no problem with engineering and technical personnel, and the defense of the young and strong is not a problem, as the capital of the former Yuan Dynasty, there were only more than 14,000 households during the Yongle Dynasty, but the development to more than 100 years later in the Hongzhi period, the capital is already "growing teeth, full of goods", and even the traditional urban area can no longer accommodate the population, can only expand outward one after another, that is, the so-called "outer city".

Since then, the "outer city" has always been a gathering area for foreign merchants in the capital, and a large number of commercial storefronts have also sprung up, and when the survey was conducted during the Jiajing period, the permanent population of the capital has exceeded one million, and in the year of the Apocalypse, it has exceeded 1.2 million.

And this number is actually very "shrinking", because this is only from the permanent population of the capital, and the university scholar Yu Shenxing once estimated that at that time, the capital "people from all over the world got six or seven out of ten".

This means that more than 60% of the population is a foreign population, and it has been recorded in the "Miscellaneous Records of the Wan Administration" that a nursing home in Wanping County alone accommodates thousands of widows, widows and lonely people every year; And "Shuntianfu Zhi" has more statistics: the population of the capital during the Wanli period will consume 500,000 pigs and 300,000 sheep every year, such a scale, it is definitely a giant city in this era, and the huge population in the city is the source of youth and strength.

As the center of the Ming Dynasty, since the capital was moved to the capital, the development of industrial production has also advanced by leaps and bounds; For example, in the smelting industry, the iron factory in Zunhua can be called the giant of iron smelting in this era, and its giant iron furnace can smelt 2,000 catties at a time.

And the government-run and private smelting industry are all flourishing, only the private coal kiln in Mentougou is more than 100 places in the Wanli period, after the implementation of "silver for Yi" in the Jiajing period, the craftsmen who were originally strictly supervised are more completely free, and a large number of handicraft shops are booming, which is simply to the point of "100 miscellaneous works".

Wanli seven years, the capital handicraft industry has 132 lines, is the most for the Ming Dynasty, at that time is pushing the reform of Zhang Juzheng waved his hand, the former handicraftsmen heavy "silver" are all exempted, this is completely untied, many familiar Beijing time-honored brands in later generations, are growing from that time.

And these industries, now a little converted, then it is the source of reserve ordnance for defending the city, and there is basically no need to worry about defensive weapons such as paper armor, cotton armor, iron armor, etc.; In terms of attacking weapons, when the raw materials are sufficient, there is naturally no need to worry, the capital at this time is not short of water, and the Ming Dynasty is still standing majestically at this time, no more, as long as it holds for three or five days, it can give confidence to the outside world.

Wait until half a month later, and then the thief army should be in a hurry; At this time, a team of sergeants outside the city were carrying out the task of "clearing the wilderness", which was likely to be a nightmare for the thief army coming from afar.

Therefore, Yang Yi doesn't need to know too esoteric tactics of war, just hold the city gate and delay time, and the specific deployment of the city defense has been assigned by Yang Yi separately, and there are more than 30 officers who have been brainwashed by her, and there is absolutely no problem with the inner and outer city gates.

In addition, the blocking has also begun to be done, and only a few easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack gates are left for defensive counterattacks.

And the Forbidden City, at this time, has become the temporary camp of the Chinese army, which should be demolished, and a large number of young people who have been called are being trained.

After the state of emergency is fully mobilized, regardless of the old, the weak, the noble and the low, they are all used, especially the young and strong, which is the source of instability in the city, and it is also the necessary force to defend the city.

"Ladies and gentlemen, sit down and talk." Yang Yi sat on the throne, this is Chongzhen's throne, but now it has been modified by Yang Yi to the craftsman, basically according to the standard seat of the first class, after Yang Yi sat down, he politely ordered those who came in at this time to sit down and talk.

Among these people, most of them are dishonest, but it doesn't matter, at present, they can't make any trouble, maybe a few of them are Chongzhen's hardcore, but at this juncture, naturally they won't make trouble, and when the war subsides, they have to wait until ten days later, at that time, Yang Yi will naturally have a disposition.

Seeing that everyone sat down according to their words, Yang Yi said with a solemn face: "The thieves have arrived in Changping today, and tomorrow the Beijing division should have the first battle, how to deploy the defense, and ask Zhu Qing to give advice." ”

"Your Highness, Weichen has some ways to defend it." It was Wang Chengen who spoke, he was the commander of the Jingying, and naturally participated in some military affairs, and was actually Chongzhen's most effective assistant in military affairs.

Therefore, Yang Yi convinced him first, and the soul dementor plus the life and death talisman can be regarded as barely usable, but at least as long as Yang Yi does not kill Chongzhen, Wang Chengen is still a very useful minion.

"Wang Qing, you can say it."

"Your Royal Highness, the hearts of the people in the capital fluctuated earlier, and there was no battle and defense arrangement, if the thieves and soldiers caused, I am afraid that there will be internal changes, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to defend for three days at that time; And now His Highness listens to the government, and rewards him constantly, and orders reliable people to seal the city gates, so that internal changes are not easy to happen; And at this time,; The old slave thought that he could keep it for ten days; His Royal Highness also promulgated a curfew mobilization regulation, and set a policy of clearing the wilderness outside, so that the old slave thought that he could keep it for two months, and wait for the world to change.

The worry is that after the defeat in the first battle, the traitor will definitely order someone to build siege equipment, so that he can attack from several sides, and the officers and soldiers themselves are few, which is not enough to defend the city on all sides, but His Royal Highness is now mobilizing the young and strong in the city, as long as a little training and the military weapons are complete, it is assumed that it will take two days to build equipment for the rebellion, and at that time, the city is already impregnable!

His Royal Highness's strategy has been completed, and the old slaves and others bow down to their orders, and they are naturally worry-free. ”

Sycophants!

This is the thought of Luo Yangxing and others, this Wang Chengen looks at a very honest person, how did he become like this now?

Yang Yi nodded at this time, she is not an immortal yet, and she doesn't think that she is a last resort, in "Jianghu", it is the same heart, Du Ruhui and Li Jing can fight the world with one article and one martial arts.

"Your Highness, please fight." Luo Yangxing stood up at this time and saluted, and said, "Your Highness, the minister thinks that the thieves will come from the northwest, and most of them will set up camp outside the four gates of Fucheng Gate, Xizhi Gate, Desheng Gate, and Anding Gate.

Preparations should be made as soon as possible, collect banners, gongs, drums and artillery, concentrate on the above four gates, and then arrange them in the four gates with bravery, and make a big fanfare, so that the thieves think that there are many defenders in the Beijing Division, and the defense is tight, so that the thieves will not dare to disperse their forces too much around the Beijing Division. ”

Luo Yangxing is a chicken thief, Wang Chengen's analysis He also listened, the current situation is very weird, and his mind is very clear, Chongzhen is now imprisoned, and Yang Yi actually listens to politics, Yang Yi is just a princess, not a prince or a queen.

However, with strange means, it has already snagged tens of thousands of people, and at this time, relying on the power of hundreds of human heads after the early dynasty, the nobles, eunuchs, profiteers, etc., have already set an example for them.

This is the end of disobedience, coupled with Yang Yi's series of measures, it looks very effective, according to Wang Chengen's analysis, this is at least two months, and the next day is not dead!

I'm afraid that after a month, the army of the king of Qinwang in the world will come, and besides, those military gates in Liaodong may not be waiting all the time, so there is still salvation in the next day?

He naturally wants to offer a handful of loyalty, which is beneficial to him, after all, he knows very well that Yang Yi cannot hand over the guards of the four city gates to him, and he doesn't ask for much, as long as one place, then you can talk about the conditions.

It is not clear who this condition is to talk to, whether the traitor is the thief or the Qin Wang Army, he will wait.

Yang Yi didn't answer, looked at him, and Yang Yi asked: "Who is the guard of Fucheng Gate, Xizhi Gate, Desheng Gate, Anding Gate?" ”

At this time, the four generals rose up in response, this was all newly appointed by Yang Yi, and they were brainwashed by Yang Yi's soul dementorship very successfully, not like Wang Chengen, Chongzhen's ironcore, and not like Luo Yangxing, for the sake of profit, even his life can be dispensed with.

These people are all from similar backgrounds and have a little background, but who has never had a broad ancestry?

These four people look a bit earthy, they are also strong, and they are actually a little worse in terms of various strategies, but Yang Yi doesn't need them to have many strategies, as long as they guard the city gate with peace of mind.

"Wait for each of the five thousand taels of silver, as a reward, tomorrow will be assigned to help the young and strong, be sure to keep it, wait for the clouds to open and the moon will shine, and the palace will not hesitate to reward."

The money was spent like a stream, although there was a large amount of income from the raid in the morning, but the follow-up raids of the noble family have not been returned, after all, Yang Yi's manpower is not enough, after all, the mobilization of millions of people, this is not something that a few people can do, plus the Beijing camp and the official service Jinyi guards, etc., at this time, there are not many people assigned to raid the house.

There is no need to worry, the people who can be used will be able to vacate a lot tomorrow, some are young and strong, and they can basically be used in two or three days of training, such as maintaining order, etc., carrying things, etc.

The main reason is that a large number of people have been freed up in the palace, Yang Yi doesn't need any guards now, and they are basically spilled out, and by tomorrow, those who are basically outside the walls and fields should also shrink.

Now let's bring in the number of people first, it's hard to say whether these people are brave or not, anyway, when Li Zicheng arrives, it seems that there are many generals, so let's bluff first, wait for a battle or two, it will be enough.

At the beginning, Li Zicheng must have been short of weapons, and when Li Zicheng had enough weapons, the young and strong men had become veterans, and at that time, they were even less afraid.

As the saying goes, it is better to ask for others than for yourself, Yang Yi's goal now is to mobilize every cent of the capital's strength, and it must be able to defend the capital alone; The goal of holding is not only the upcoming rebels, but also the Qing army, which is the biggest test.

There is no real test of how effective the current arrangement is, only God knows.

Forbidden City, in the Qianqing Palace.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was secretly summoning several nobles at this time; The eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty are indeed very powerful, but Xungui is also a decisive force in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Xungui has always been an important part of the power game of the Ming Dynasty, but due to the consumption of the Battle of Tumubao, after the serious decline of Xungui's power, the civilian power completely overwhelmed the military represented by Xungui, but in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, Xungui's power still cannot be ignored.

Because the Jingying and Jinyi Guards of the two capitals have always been under the control of the nobles! In other words, the emperor himself has always been under the protection of the Xungui group!

The reason why the emperor can easily get rid of the eunuchs one by one is that the eunuchs do not hold the real power.

And Yang Yi also indulged these people a little, and he couldn't spare his hands at this time, the nobles that Yang Yi is cleaning up now are not the old ones, but the Hou Party, Queen Zhou's clansmen, or Zhu Weijiao's grandfather's family, so even if Yang Yi seized power in the Beijing camp a little bit and killed the heads of civil officials, the nobles were still waiting and watching at this time.

Maybe it didn't react, after all, according to modern time, it's not 24 hours!

As for what kind of Xuannu preaching is rumored, it's just a matter of listening to it, no one will take it seriously at this time, when the British Duke was secretly sent to the palace and called into the palace, he was still ignorant, he guessed if this was Zhu Youzhen acting by the hand of the princess?

Zhu Weijiao he just hasn't seen it, his wife has also seen it, this princess is young and weak, not like the "Taiping Princess" in the Tang Dynasty, shouldn't she have this kind of courage?
