Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 467 Your Majesty, I am on good terms with Lan Tian

The mighty cavalry rushed directly to the Xifeng Pass. The pass soldiers prepared all kinds of defenses like crazy when they saw this, and yelled frantically to find the guard commander, but it was too late.

During the attack, the Qing army suddenly divided its troops. One of the troops was particularly elite. It turned around from Xifeng Pass and went straight along the city wall to Qingshan Pass to the east of Xifeng Pass. The defense of Qingshan Pass was obviously not as strong as that of Xifeng Pass. When the Qing army rushed to kill, only two cannons fired on the Qingshan Pass, and at the same time there was a blast of firecrackers.

A commander of the Ming army on the city wall shouted loudly: "The Tartars are coming, the Tartars are coming, hit me, hit me!"

Firecrackers, bows and arrows, artillery, crazily slanted down from the Qingshan Pass, and the commander of the Ming army shouted angrily at this moment: "Hurry up, send someone to rescue the commander-in-chief, or it will be too late."

After hearing this, the scouts of the Ming army immediately sent orders, followed by a fierce defensive battle.

The reconnaissance squad leader stood on the short-necked tree and watched everything, his eyes were about to bleed, but at this moment the scout replied: "Squad leader, the telegram has been sent, the brigade commander told us to be careful not to reveal our whereabouts. "

The reconnaissance squad leader raised his hand after hearing this and said, "Get on your horse."

As he said that, the rest of the scouts got on their horses, and the scout squad leader took a telescope and saw that the Qing soldiers and the Ming army guarding the Qingshan Pass had already fought together. A large number of gunpowder bags were placed on the ground, and the city wall on the Qingshan Pass side was in disrepair for a long time. When it was blown up by the gunpowder bags, the whole city wall collapsed in a big way.

"It's over."

Seeing this scene, the reconnaissance squad leader only spit out two words, the city walls were blown down, it seems that nothing can stop the Qing soldiers from entering the bandits.

The reconnaissance squad leader put down the binoculars. He didn't want to see Mingren being slaughtered. He sighed and jumped off the dwarf neck tree. After getting on his horse, he led the scouts away from the battlefield.

In October of the 12th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty took Dorgon, Prince of Heshuorui, as the commanding general, Hauge and Abatai as deputy commanders, commanded the left-wing soldiers, Bei Le Yuetuo as the general of Yangwu, and Du Du as the deputy commander The right-wing soldiers detoured again to Mongolia and attacked Daming in two ways.

Dorgon, a left-wing soldier, led troops and horses to raid Qingshan Pass east of Xifeng Pass, broke through the Great Wall fortress, destroyed the city wall, and led his army into the fortress.

Yue Tuo led the right-wing soldiers and horses to enter Daming from Qiangziling in the east of Miyun.

The soldiers and horses of the two wings moved to An, Fengrun, and met at Hexi, Tongzhou, and approached the capital. Emperor Chongzhen was shocked when he heard the military report. He did not sleep for three days and three nights.

This is the Jisi Rebellion in the second year of Chongzhen, the second invasion in the ninth year of Chongzhen and the third invasion.

The speed with which the wind and fire burned was far beyond the expectations of Chongzhen and the princes of the court.

Daming BJ Qianqing Palace.

Wang Chengen ran into the palace quickly, and saw Chongzhen pinching the bridge of his nose, thinking about something with his eyes closed. After thinking about that sentence, His Majesty did not call out, but Chongzhen obviously heard Wang Chengen's footsteps, and then he looked up at Wang Chengen .

At this time Wang Chengen said hastily: "Your Majesty, Yang Sichang and all the adults are here."

After hearing this, Chongzhen immediately cheered up: "Please."

Soon all the ministers entered the hall one by one, and after saluting, Chongzhen said: "Everyone should already know that Jiannu broke into the bandits from Qiangziling and Qingshankou in Miyun, and has already reached Tongzhou and is approaching the capital. What do you think it should be?"

After Chongzhen finished speaking, all the ministers were silent and did not say a word. If this matter is not handled well, they might lose their heads. Seeing that the ministers stopped talking, Chongzhen looked at Yang Sichang and said, "Yang Aiqing You know about military affairs, so why don’t you tell me what to do first?”

Hearing this, Yang Sichang said: "After all, Jiannu came fiercely, and we were caught off guard. I think we should take two steps. First, gather soldiers and horses from counties and counties around the capital and enter the capital to strengthen the strength of the capital camp and defend the capital."

After hearing this, Liu Yuliang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, frowned slightly and said: "This has exhausted the surrounding troops, so how should the surrounding counties guard against Jiannu?"

Hearing this, Yang Sichang said: "Grand Liu, now that the Tartars have killed the gate, how can we take care of the others? First, defend the capital. If the capital is not lost, your majesty will be here, and your majesty will be here forever."

Liu Yuliang frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "Then the people don't care about life or death?"

After hearing this, Yang Sichang said: "Mr. Liu is a trade-off. The people are more important than the king. Keep the capital first. As long as your majesty is safe, no matter how many people are lost, we can make a comeback. And I think the people can understand what I said today. .”

"Cough cough cough..."

Liu Yuliang's health was not good, so he coughed a few times when he heard Yang Sichang's words and didn't know how to refute them. Liu Yuliang was a scholar and clear flow, so don't worry about what he thought in his heart on this occasion, he must think about the common people, this is called political correctness.

Maybe he is really concerned about the country and the people, maybe he just wants to show his attitude, at least when this period is reproduced in history, some people will say that Liu Yuliang, the chief minister of the cabinet, spoke to the people at that time, he is a good person .

Yang Sichang was more practical, and what he said was mobilizing the surrounding officers and soldiers to go to Beijing to defend the capital.

Abandoning the common people around the capital might not be a good way to protect the capital. Even if he was a little more vicious and set up a wall to clear the wilderness, it would be a good delay for the Tartars.

It's a pity that this is suffering for the common people, but in the eyes of the officials of Ming Dynasty, is the fate of the common people still fortune-telling?
After hearing Yang Sichang's proposal, Chongzhen hesitated for a while. He also felt that he was a little sorry for the people around him, but he finally nodded in agreement.

At this time, Yang Sichang came up with a second plan: "Secondly, Your Majesty should immediately issue an order to let the commanders from all over the country enter Jingqin King, especially Zu Dashou, the forward commander-in-chief in Liaodong. The Guanning Iron Cavalry under their command is still capable of fighting. Yes, using them can draw the main force of the Tartars, and Liaodong is not far from the capital, so we can rescue them with all our strength within a few days and nights, and the danger of the capital will definitely be resolved by then."

After hearing this, Chongzhen nodded and said: "That's right, Zu Dashou is a general who can fight, Wang Chengen immediately issued an order to invite Zu Dashou to come to the capital as soon as possible to rescue him."

"In addition, Liu Zeqing from Shandong, Ni Chong from Shanxi, Zu Kuan, Luo Dai, Xiong Wencan, and Zuo Liangyu come here quickly, forget about Zuo Liangyu and don't move, and the rest come to the capital as soon as possible."

Chongzhen paused at this point. Zuo Liangyu was defending Lantian County. At this time, moving Zuo Liangyu was tantamount to loosening the ropes that bound Lantian County. In contrast, Chongzhen was even more worried about Lantian County, so Zuo Liangyu couldn't move lightly.

But Zuo Liangyu didn't move lightly, could the troops be enough?Thinking of Chongzhen, he added: "By the way, Sun Chuanting also called King Qin."

Hearing about Sun Chuanting, Liu Yuliang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said: "Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting is guarding against Zhang Xianzhong in Hubei. Don't move lightly, or you should recruit Zuo Liangyuqin Wang. Although Lantian has violated the rules, he has never publicly To be rebellious, I must have Ming in my heart, and at this time of life and death crisis, I think Li Chaosheng, Lantian County Venerable, would not be good at using weapons."

After hearing this, Chongzhen frowned slightly and fell into thought. Lan Tian really didn't do anything to directly and openly rebel, did he?
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible."

After hearing Liu Yuliang's words, Yang Sichang hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, Li Chaosheng is a poisonous dragon, and Zhang Xianzhong is just a jackal. If a jackal is strong, it will bite us. It will hurt for a while at most, but if the poisonous dragon reacts, a bite It can swallow us up, and we won't even be able to resist at that time, Your Majesty, we would rather move Sun Chuanting than Zuo Liangyu."

Hearing this, Chongzhen clenched his fists, thought for a while and said, "What Yang Aiqing said is, let's recruit Sun Chuanting to be king of Jingqin."

After saying this, all the ministers stopped talking, and at this moment Xue Guoguan, who had been silent for a while, said: "Your Majesty, I want to recommend someone, if he can come to serve the king, the Tartars are not invincible."

As soon as Xue Guoguan said this, everyone around looked at Xue Guoguan, thinking, do you have any treasures in the bottom of the box, you old man?

At this time, Chongzhen also looked at Xue Guoguan with interest and asked, "Who is Aiqing talking about?"

Xue Guoguan said slowly at this time: "Lu Xiangsheng, the former governor of Xuanda of the Ming Dynasty."

Lu Xiangsheng!
Everyone around frowned when they heard this. The reputation of this man is too great. Governor Xuan Da joined forces with Lantian Li Chaosheng to defeat Jiannu Dorgon, snatch the Fortress Guihua City, and behead Jiannu thousands of times. It can be called the biggest victory since Ningyuan's great victory.

Immediately following Lu Xiangsheng, he participated in the battle to suppress Gao Yingxiang's peasant uprising army, and with Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, they killed Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang and defeated the thief general Li Zicheng.

It is a pity that Lu Xiangsheng's father passed away not long ago, and Lu Xiangsheng returned home to Ding You, and left the Ming Dynasty officialdom by himself.

As soon as Xue Guoguan said this, Yang Sichang frowned slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, Master Lu has made great military achievements, but since ancient times, filial piety has been greater than the sky, and Master Lu has not returned home for a long time, so I am afraid it will be difficult for him to serve His Majesty."

Xue Guoguan looked at Yang Sichang at this time, thinking that he had accepted Hong Chengchou's piece of Hetian Yubi, saying that he wanted to intercede with Lu Xiangsheng, so he couldn't just take things and do nothing. , Your Majesty is in front of you, now that the country is in crisis, a man should put the country first, Master Lu must also understand, why don't His Majesty decree to win the favor, let Master Lu enter Beijing as soon as possible, so that you can lead the army to stop the Tartars, don't let the Tartars sons continue to wreak havoc on the people.”

Chongzhen was quite moved when he heard this. He still knew Lu Xiangsheng, he was good at military affairs, and he was also considered loyal to him, so he could use it.

Just when Chongzhen was swaying, Yang Sichang's eyes flickered. Lu Xiangsheng was his political enemy. After finally waiting for Lu Xiangsheng's father to die, Ding You went home. Now this old man actually wanted His Majesty to seize love, and after seizing love, he killed himself How should I deal with myself? Isn't the good situation I created by myself going to waste?

Thinking of this, Yang Sichang's face sank like water, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty."

"Ok?"

Chongzhen's eyes turned to Yang Sichang, and Yang Sichang looked at Chongzhen at this moment and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Lu has worked hard for the country, and his father is newly mourned. It would be against filial piety to seize love."

Yang Sichang first occupied a commanding height morally and then continued: "Secondly, Master Lu is not alone in Da Ming who is capable of fighting, and I am not a person who does not know how to fight. I can lead troops to defend against the enemy, and even if I can't I can also recommend one person, that is, Sun Chengzong who is at home, Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun has fought in Liaodong for many years. Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong, etc. were all his subordinates. Now the defense line of Liaodong is also built by Mr. Sun. His ability , should be far above Lu Xiangsheng, why does His Majesty abandon such a virtuous minister, instead of seizing the love of Lord Lu, and not allowing Lord Lu to be filial?"

Chongzhen was a little moved after hearing this, and Sun Chengzong was quite capable, Chongzhen knew this.

, Xue Guoguan said at this time: "Your Majesty, what Master Yang said is very true. Master Sun really knows how to fight, but Your Majesty, Master Sun is old, and I am afraid that he lacks energy to cope with such an intense war. Moreover, Master Sun has already I have been idle for a few years, and I don’t know how my body is, so I’m afraid it’s counterproductive to use it hastily. On the other hand, Lu Xiangsheng, Master Lu, Ding You is only a month old, so it’s worth using.”

Chongzhen nodded when he heard the words. What he said made sense. Sun Chengzong was old and his physical condition was not very good. At this time, it was indeed difficult for him to be used by others. Fighting a war not only requires military ability, physical strength, knowledge, and physical condition. You have to think about it.

It's better for Lu Xiangsheng. Although Yang Sichang also knows how to fight, he doesn't have any impressive records. It's reassuring not to have Lu Xiangsheng's record of desperately fighting on the battlefield.

Chongzhen was a little moved, Yang Sichang also saw that Chongzhen was a little moved at this time, he was shocked, this is not possible, it will not be easy for Lu Xiangsheng to drive away when he comes back, thinking of this, Yang Sichang hurried forward and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng is invincible."

Hearing Yang Sichang's abrupt sentence, everyone present frowned slightly. Liu Yuliang looked at Yang Sichang, thinking that this was too restless, no wonder he couldn't join the cabinet.

Xue Guoguan was also a little displeased, this Yang Sichang was too much, he accepted Hong Chengchou's gift, and he couldn't do it himself, how much it affected his official reputation.

Thinking of Xue Guo watching, he said to Yang Sichang: "Master Yang, we all know that you have a bad relationship with Master Lu, but when is it now, the Tartars have already attacked Tongzhou, and they are about to enter Beijing. Now is the time?" When it comes to personal grievances, Mr. Yang still has his family and country in his heart!"

Xue Guoguan's words were merciless, and Chongzhen also looked at Yang Sichang with unfriendly eyes. At this time, Yang Sichang was riding a tiger, and seeing that the situation was too unfavorable for him, he knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, it is Lu Xiangsheng who is not a minister who intends to get along with Lu Xiangsheng. He is on good terms with Lan Tian!"

boom!
Hearing Yang Sichang's words was a heavyweight bomb, Chongzhen was immediately stunned, frowned and said nothing.
