Chapter 156: The Beacon Fire Rises Again
The thunderous anger showed that Chongzhen could not bear these civil officials. Since the establishment of the slave www.biquge.info the prison, he has been relieved of seven or eight civil officials, and it is obvious that he wants to take this opportunity to rectify the civil officials. And Zhou Yanru is crashing into the muzzle of the gun!
Qi Jin just stood aside, not saying a word, but he sneered in his heart. The reason why Qin Shuhuai's so-called "collusion with the Demon Sect and collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country" was able to ferment rapidly this time was precisely because he planned it at the behest of Cao Huachun.
His method was very clever, and he did not directly encourage the hundred officials to speak, but on behalf of the military department, he sent many letters to Zunhua to express his concern, so that Wang Yuanya, the governor of Zunhua, mistakenly believed that the emperor had paid attention to this matter, and he was determined to make this matter an iron case. In addition to beating the lieutenant into a trick, he also personally wrote a letter to his colleagues in the DPRK and China, asking them to seize the matter and challenge the factory guards, saying that they had obtained ironclad evidence and said that they were conclusive. The Chinese official of the DPRK has had a bad time recently, and when he heard that there was a traitor among the Jinyi guards, he thought that this was a good opportunity to splash the dirty water of the collapse of the defense line of Jizhen on the factory guards, so he immediately became angry, and he went to Chongzhen for several days in a row, so that the matter became bigger and bigger.
Things have come to this point, whether Qin Shuhuai was sued by the civil officials, or the civil officials angered Chongzhen, Dongchang was the final winner.
So at this time, Qi Jin, as a squire of the military department, accompanied Zhou Yanru and Li Yusheng, but he did not say a word, and quietly watched Zhou Yanru argue with the emperor on behalf of the Donglin Party.
Let's fight, the more fierce the fight, the more the emperor can understand what this group of Donglin Party is. Dongchang, only I, Dongchang, is the pillar of the emperor's humerus and the hope of the Ming Dynasty! Now the border passes are frequently in an emergency, and the defenders are surrendering and running, and this is all the trouble caused by those Donglin Party! If the emperor reuses my Dongchang, not to mention anything else, at least the governor can open up a wide range of financial resources for the emperor, and how can there be a shortage of salaries in the army? Moreover, which of my Dongchang fanzi is not an iron-clad man, if the border guard will be promoted by my Dongchang in the name of the proposed name, at least there will never be a demoted or rebel general!
I, Qi Jin, am willing to be the first to rush to the border pass to defend the land for the Ming Dynasty, although I am afraid of death? !
Chongzhen scolded Zhou Yanru and Li Yusheng, but these two people still "fought according to reason" and did not back down, once again showing the "literary bones" of the so-called Donglin Party. Chongzhen was furious, so he ordered the Han general to blast the two out.
Zhou Yanru and Li Yusheng went out proudly as if they had received some reward.
Seeing this, Qi Jin took out a copy of the Tang newspaper and handed it to Chongzhen very interestingly, to show that he was not with them, but came to deliver the Tang newspaper. After that, he immediately withdrew.
After hearing all this, Qin Shuhuai became happy.
First, Chongzhen scolded Zhou Yanru, indicating that there is basically no problem with his trust in himself.
Second, I also want to take advantage of my own changes to clean up these civil officials, and now that they have made a good start for themselves, it will be much easier to clean them up in the future.
Zhou Yanru, in history, he was promoted to the first assistant shortly after the change of his own life, but because of this incident, I am afraid there is no hope.
As he grows, the butterfly effect seems to have accelerated......
Coming out from behind the screen, Qin Shuhuai said to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, in fact, the matter of that token is because of that day......
Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "I believe you, Brother Qin doesn't have to explain." ”
At this time, Sun Chengzong also arrived. After letting Sun Chengzong in, the three of them immediately entered the issue of dealing with Jiannu.
Chongzhen said first, "Brother Qin, you just came back from Jizhen and tell me the true situation of Jizhen. Also, what do you think should be done now?"
Qin Shuhuai knew that with Chongzhen's trust in him now, every word he said was likely to change history, so he was extremely cautious.
After pondering for a long time, he finally said, "Your Majesty, after Jiannu was deceived by the ministers and returned to Da'ankou, he is bound to make a comeback." The minister thought that since Jiannu had opened the passage from Da'ankou to Zunhua, it was bound to commit Zunhua again. In terms of time, it is likely that they are already attacking Zunhua at this moment. ”
Chongzhen frowned, and said, "Inspector Yuan's army should not have arrived in Zunhua yet, and I don't know how many days Zunhua can hold on." ”
Sun Chengzong followed and said, "There is no need to guard for a few days, Inspector Yuan is carrying nine thousand iron horses, and it is estimated that he will be able to arrive in Zunhua tomorrow." As long as Zunhua can hold for one day and two days at most, Inspector Yuan can rush to Zunhua together with General Zhu of the Santun Camp and General Zhao of Shimen Village. ”
Qin Shuhuai frowned after hearing this.
Now that Zunhua has not been lost, if Yuan Chonghuan really wants to fight Houjin, he should not directly bypass Zunhua and enter Jizhou City as in history. If he arrives near Zunhua and Zunhua is not lost, he will definitely go to save Zunhua. Moreover, there are still 4,000 men and horses of Zhao Shujiao near Zunhua (counting the surrendered army), as well as Zhu Guoyan's 6,000 men and horses, and there are 9,000 in the city, plus Yuan Chonghuan's 9,000 men and horses, a total of 28,000 troops, Yuan Chonghuan has no reason not to save it.
But the problem is that Zhu Guoyan's 6,000 men and horses don't have much combat effectiveness at all, and judging from the fact that he refused to allow Zhao to enter the Santun camp in history, it is still a question of how many people this guy can send to support at that time.
In addition, of the 9,000 defenders in Zunhua City, 3,000 were surrendered by Zhao Shujiao, and the will of these people to fight is a mystery. The other 6,000 defenders are not much higher in combat effectiveness from history.
And near Zunhua City, all the main forces of Huang Taiji have been gathered, and the 1,000 and 5 that have been annihilated, and some of the men and horses left along the way, there are also 25,000 or 6,000 people. In addition, there are more than 30,000 soldiers, although these soldiers are not high in combat effectiveness, but it takes effort to let you cut you even if you are standing, right?
Huang Taiji knew that Yuan Chonghuan was coming, and he was bound to adopt the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements. Under field conditions, even if all the 28,000 armies of the Ming army were thrown into battle, there was absolutely no possibility of victory. And, most likely, there will be another fiasco like Salhu's. At that time, the Ming army lost more than 10,000 Guan Ning elites who could fight the most, and maybe even Zhao Shujiao and Yuan Chonghuan would not be able to come back.
This option is too risky.
But strategically speaking, Sun Chengzong's choice was right.
Time, what is needed most now is time!
As long as Yuan Chonghuan can hold back Huang Taiji, as soon as reinforcements from all over the country arrive, he will be able to achieve real encirclement and suppression! .
Qin Shuhuai couldn't refuse this offer.
Historically, Yuan Chonghuan directly bypassed Zunhua and Santun camps and entered Jizhou based on the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, which is right. But now that Zunhua, Santun Camp and even Shimenzhai are there, not only can he not give up, but Qin Shuhuai can't advise Chongzhen to give up.
To put it bluntly, no matter how big the risk is, whoever dares to give up Zunhua at this time and ignore the 9,000 defenders and the 6,000 defenders of Santun is a traitor and traitor.
"Brother Qin, what do you think?" Chongzhen asked.
Qin Shuhuai nodded, "The minister agrees with Elder Sun Ge's opinion. However, Governor Yuan should not seek a decisive battle in Zunhua, but mainly drag the army of serfs. ”
Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This time, Xiaoyou's opinion is finally the same as that of the old man. ”
Qin Shuhuai smiled reluctantly, but thought in his heart, I hope Yuan Chonghuan can fight this battle well, don't make so many mistakes like in history, and give people infinite space for reverie.
If he really wants to fight in Zunhua, then he will never mind bringing the River Gang and the Five Elements Banner to help him.
Of course, the premise is that when he arrives, Zunhua City can still hold it.
At this time, the beacon fire of Zunhua City rose again.
