please make me king

"Boom, boom!" Outside the city of Miyun, the sound of the cannons rang out, shocking the people who were ten or eight miles away.

"Excuse me, old man, where is the sound of the cannon coming from?" A ragged man couldn't help but stop an old man who was plowing the field, and asked.

"Oh, what are you talking about? This is the Tartars besieging Miyun City!" The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know what the court thinks, it has been surrounded for half a month, and there is no reinforcement Nothing happened."

How did this old man know that it was not that the Ming court didn't send reinforcements, but was defeated by the Hou Jin soldiers in a battle, and now he was scared out of his wits and dared not go out to fight at night again.

"Oh? It's been half a month since this gun went off?" the strong man asked in surprise.

"How can that be? I have been fighting for the past few days, and it seems that the Tartars have suffered a lot." The old man responded excitedly at first, and then said with a dull expression, "It's just that the gunfire sounded this morning. , I'm afraid that Miyun City won't be able to defend it!"

"Oh? That's it. I thank the old man for that!" The strong man bowed and said goodbye to the old man.

It turned out that this brawny man was none other than Jiang Xuan, the general of Juyongguan, who was ordered to garrison Juyongguan Badaling.

Just because Jin Dorgon's army was under pressure to go to Xuanfu, he fell into Juyongguan.

According to the law, those who fall into the walled city shall be beheaded!
After this guy was defeated in the battle, he hid in the mountains for seven or eight days, and after the empress Jin's main force left, he came out in panic, and was going to look for Liu Hao, the deputy envoy of Changping's military preparations, to see if he could be more accommodating.

How could he have imagined that not only did Changping fall to the imperial court, but Miyun was also under siege.

That Jiang Xuan couldn't help thinking: "My way this time is the same as the 'Change of My Own'. I will leave after the Houjin looting, and the court will reorganize the mountains and rivers."

"Unexpectedly, looking at Houjin's posture, it is obvious that he doesn't want to leave."

"Now I am a defeated general, and I should be executed according to the law. If I take the opportunity to invest in the gold, I am afraid that I will be ridiculed."

"If I took the opportunity to inquire about it, and then voted for elder brother, wouldn't it be a good thing for all brothers!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan couldn't help sneaking towards Miyun City.

Unexpectedly, there were so many Houjin scouts, and he was discovered before he got close to the banks of Baihe and Chaohe.

But after seeing that he was dressed in rags, Jin Bing said that he was a passing beggar, and that it would be a waste of arrows to shoot him, so he rode over and hacked with a knife.

Although this Jiang Xuan is not a strong general in battle, he is also a man who has been in battle for a long time. How could he not know how powerful this cavalry is?

When he saw Jin Bing coming over on horseback, he was in a bad mood, so he quickly fit himself into the grass by the side of the road, and rolled down the hillside.

It was June, and the vegetation was lush. He rushed in and disappeared.

Afterwards, Jin soldiers rushed over, looked for a while and saw no one, he couldn't help laughing: "There is a beggar on the left, let him go, it won't be a big deal!"

Only then did Jiang Xuan escape with his life, but he was scratched in many places by the grass and trees, and his whole body was in severe pain.

He couldn't help but said: "It looks like it can't get close. If so, why don't I go up to Yunmeng Mountain to observe its reality?"

He did what he said, and Jiang Xuan didn't care about his injuries, and hurriedly limped to the Yunmeng Mountain in the northwest of Miyun. …

The reason why he made a detour to Yunmeng Mountain instead of directly climbing Migu Mountain in Yunnan was because Yunmeng Mountain was taller, and the south was the only way for the Ming army to rescue, and Houjin was heavily guarded.

It is said that he was hungry, picked wild fruits and drank some mountain springs to quench his thirst. Now it took more than half a day to climb to Yunmeng Mountain.

Jiang Xuan took advantage of the shade of the trees on the mountain to find a place with a wide view, and when he looked down, he was startled.

Do you know why?

It turned out that Miyun City was surrounded by more than [-] people, and countless "Red Barbarian Cannons" were set up to bombard the city wall.

Because the distance was too far, Jiang Xuan couldn't see the flag and artillery clearly, so he had to make an estimate based on the shape and size of the flag.

"Forty red barbarian cannons?" Jiang Xuan couldn't help being startled, "The tartars are really willing to spend their money this time!"

It turns out that since Tiancong picked up a red barbarian bronze cannon from the sea in the early years, and named it "Zhenguo Longwei General", it has been continuously cast, and Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi and others surrendered and brought [-] guns. Since then, there have been more than forty Hongyi cannons.

In order to deal with the rebel army known as the "Red Barbarian Cannon", Mrs. Hong took all the gates into the customs except for a few guards of Shenyang and Lushun.

The "Wuzhenchaoha" who entered the customs this time included not only Shi Tingzhu and Ma Guangyuan's left and right wings, but also the main force of Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi. There were about [-] soldiers, forty Hongyi cannons, and various general cannons. There are countless guns, Western blunderbusses and extermination guns.

Mrs. Hong will use this "Wuzhenchaoha" as a secret weapon this time, and is going to destroy the two towns of Xuanfu and Datong in one fell swoop.

Then established a strategic suppression of the Ming and Shun countries to prepare for further seizing the world.

"Later Jin stormed Miyun and carried a large number of red barbarian cannons." Jiang Xuan couldn't help but pondered, "Such important two pieces of information should be worthy of the position of commander-in-chief!"

Not to mention how Jiang Xuan cares, let's say that Chen Zubao, the governor of Shuntian, and Wu Guojun, the general of Jizhen, led more than [-] troops to rescue Miyun, but were defeated by Mrs. Hong's design and fled into the city.

On this day, the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian had finished his affairs and had just come to the Kunning Palace. The Empress Zhou hurriedly greeted him and ordered people to serve tea and cakes.

Only then did Zhu Youjian feel that his stomach was empty, so he couldn't help but put it in his mouth, but after chewing it twice, he felt like chewing wax, so he couldn't help but put it down again.

Seeing this situation, the empress was very distressed, and she couldn't help persuading her: "Eat something, because the state affairs are complicated, Your Majesty still needs to pay attention to your health."

"Okay, I'll listen to the queen!" Zhu Youjian, who was quite irritable at first, calmed down a little when he heard the words, and couldn't help stuffing it into his mouth again, chewing carefully for a while and then swallowing, then smiled wryly.

"The government is complicated, but the empress laughed at it."

"It's all from my own family, what's so funny about that!" The queen of Zhou shook her head slightly when she heard the words, and couldn't help but said tentatively.

"There is still a house in my south middle school. If your majesty is tired, maybe you can take a rest."

"What do you mean by the queen's words?" Zhu Youjian was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help saying loudly, "Could it be that you are not as good as Song Zhenzong and Emperor Jingtai?"

It turned out that after the defeat of Chen Zubao and Wu Guojun, people of insight in the court had already advised Zhu Youjian to move south or the prince to go south.

It's just that Zhu Youjian has a good face on the one hand, and on the other hand, he still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, so he hesitates.
