The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 111 The Deterrence of the Chinese Army (Please follow up)

Xuanfu Town, as the head of the Nine Frontiers of the Ming Dynasty, is a purely military town, with guards all over the area and dense castles, and it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Military Commander's Mansion.

At this moment, in Xuanfu City, the town of Zhencheng, Wanquan is in the yamen, and all the guard commanders and envoys of the entire Xuanfu and Datong towns, and thousands of households guarding thousands of households are all present.

With the addition of Jiang Yu, the general of Datong, Wang Chengyin, the general of the Xuanfu, and all the generals, generals, and deputy generals, the huge official hall can hardly be crowded.

"Everyone, it's been more than a month since I made an indictment, but His Majesty has not sent imperial envoys here for a long time. Recently, the army in the suburbs of Changping has been preparing for war again. I'm afraid disaster is not far away!"

Wang Chengyin glanced at everyone and said solemnly,
Everyone started whispering immediately, and the hall was like a vegetable market for a while, everyone's faces were full of sadness, but it was not as serious as the two chief soldiers.

Seeing this situation, Wang Chengyin and Jiang Yan looked at each other, Jiang Rang coughed, and said: "Everyone, the current emperor is decisive in killing and attacking, and there is no sand in his eyes. Wang Zongbing and I have written several times to plead guilty, but there is no reply." From this, it can be seen that His Majesty is probably unwilling to forgive us, if we don't come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, by the day when the [-] Chinese army arrives, it may be the time for us to raid our family and exterminate our family!"

"Jiang Zongbing's words are a bit alarmist!"

"I had no choice but to surrender the thief back then. The situation forced me to repent and plead guilty. Even if Your Majesty wanted to surrender, at most I would be demoted or dismissed. Wouldn't it be too much to confiscate the family and exterminate the family?"

"That's right, at worst, I'll judge myself and apologize!"

"The king wants the subject to die, and the subject has to die. If the Holy Majesty is unwilling to forgive, we will just stand by and protect the family!"

Several guard commanders retorted.

The other commanders and Qianhu also nodded frequently, obviously sneering at their words.

They are not stupid, even if His Majesty wanted to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, he would only confiscate the two leading military officers and all commanders and other bigwigs. With so many guard commanders, Qianhu would punish them at most.

Otherwise, if they were all killed, wouldn't these two places be in a mess?Who will continue to guard the side wall against the Tartars?
If they were not intimidated by the soldiers and horses of the two, they would not have come at all. Similarly, if these two guys had not blocked Juyong Pass and other passes, they would have sent someone to the capital alone to plead guilty.

Wang Chengyin and Jiang Yu's faces were a little dark, but they knew that these people had to be dragged into the water, otherwise they didn't know if others would, but the two of them would definitely have their homes ransacked and their families wiped out.

So Wang Chengyin snorted coldly: "Everyone, don't forget that over the years, you have smuggled weapons and grains to Jiannu Tartars. If His Majesty finds out the truth about this matter, will you forgive me?"

"My surname Wang, don't spit on people. We sold some iron wares, but they were sold to those merchants. As for who they sold to, how do I know?"

"Yes, the imperial court has not paid military salaries for many years. We do some business and subsidize the military salaries. It is perfectly normal. This happens in all guards all over the world."

Seeing that the two threatened them with this matter, everyone lost their temper and opened their mouths to clear up.

"Hehe, it's normal to do business, but doing business with Jiannu is a serious crime of cooperating with the enemy's country and punishing the nine clans.

Today's Holy Majesty is not so easily fooled by the Taishanghuang, so please stop deceiving yourself and others. "

Jiang Guan sneered, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, if you want to die, everyone will die together, if you want to be alone, then don't blame them for revealing everything.

Sure enough, the faces of all the commanders and the thousands of households became gloomy. If they couldn't beat them, they really wanted to kill them and those businessmen and kill them.

While everyone was making their own calculations, a general hurried in and shouted:

"Marshal, it's not good. Yesterday morning, the capital's army had already set off and headed towards Juyongguan. I'm afraid they are all on the verge of entering Juyongguan now."

"what?"

Wang Chengyin and Jiang Yu stood up abruptly, their faces pale.

Although they have always suspected that His Majesty will not pardon them for a long time, it is very likely that they will send troops to suppress them, so they blocked Juyongguan.

But that was suspicion after all. Now that the army really came, both of them were trembling, like the end of the world.

All the military officers and generals in the hall were also panicked.

Obviously, he didn't expect His Majesty to be so extreme. Judging by this posture, he might not really want to kill.

"It's the Chinese army, how many soldiers and horses are there?"

Jiang Guan was the first to calm down, looking at the boss and said anxiously.

"Marshal, according to the report from the spies, the Chinese army has come, a total of [-] troops..." Chief Ba wailed.

The faces of all the military officers and generals turned pale, and the timid ones even collapsed on the ground with a mournful cry.

Apparently, what you said just now that the king wanted the ministers to die, the ministers had to die, and committed suicide and apologies, all of them thought that His Majesty would not really punish all of them.

That's what he said in a high-sounding way, but now that the [-] troops are coming, he can't say what he said just now.

"Everyone, have you seen it? If His Majesty really just wants to deal with Mr. Jiang and me, he only needs to issue an imperial decree to pardon the others and send an imperial envoy to come. Why do you need to mobilize the army?

If you still want to get rid of the relationship, and the matter has nothing to do with you, then wait for the family to be ransacked and the family wiped out, and there will be no place to die! "

Wang Chengyin also calmed down, and said coldly to everyone.

"Then I don't know what the two chief soldiers think should be done?"

At this moment, everyone lost their minds and looked at the two in unison.

"For the current plan, only if everyone works together to defend Juyongguan, and then negotiate with His Majesty, let him issue a decree to pardon us and not send troops to settle in, so that we can save our lives!"

"But...but this is not a long-term solution after all."

"Yes, it can be guaranteed for a while, but not for a lifetime."

Everyone is grimacing, what's the difference between this and coercing His Majesty?Even if His Majesty agrees in the end, he will definitely deal with them slowly in the future.

"Let's get through the current hurdle first. Besides, as long as everyone has soldiers in their hands, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

"That's right, that's all for me and Brother Wang, as for how to choose, it's up to you."

"Damn, that's the only way to go."

"Damn it, let's talk about it first."

Everyone could only grit their teeth and say.

Only then did Wang Chengyin and Jiang Guan heave a sigh of relief.

Then let everyone go back immediately and bring troops to help. After all, Wang Chengyin only has [-] frontier troops in his hands, [-] were sent to Juyongguan, and [-] stayed in Xuanfu.

Everyone also left the town in a hurry, including Jiang Yan, who also hurried back to Datong.

After all the commanders and thousands of households returned to the castle, they immediately summoned thousands of households to discuss matters and prepare to gather troops, but no one came.

This frightened all the commanding envoys and guarding Qianhu, and sent people to check, only to find that the gates of the Qianhu Office and Baihu Fort under their jurisdiction were all closed.

Obviously these thousands of households are not stupid, even if His Majesty kills them again, he will not be able to kill them, but if he continues to go all the way to the dark with the commander, then maybe.

What's more, Jin Yiwei has found them and conveyed His Majesty's will, and the command envoys below can be exonerated.

So if His Majesty hadn't just let them stand still, everyone would have joined hands and rushed into the Acropolis to tie up the commander.

Without the support of thousands of households under him, these commanders of the various guards, even if they are a bare-handed commander, can pull out at most one or two hundred family members, even ordinary military households, no one is willing to follow them.

Seeing this situation, everyone knew that the situation was over, so they simply closed the gates of the city, waiting for the arrival of His Majesty's army, maybe they could save their lives by then.

At the same time, the eight Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou also panicked when they heard that the imperial army was under pressure.

After all, the things they did are known to almost everyone in the Xuanfu Datong's senior management, and they will definitely be revealed by then.

At this moment, in Fanjiazhuang Fort, Fan, Wang and other eight Patriarchs also gathered together, all in a hurry.

"Brother Fan, what should I do, what should I do?"

"Then once Wang Chengyin and Jiang Yu are captured, they will definitely reveal all our adultery."

"This is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the clan!"

"Oh, today is so cruel that even those military officers and generals who hold soldiers and horses in their hands are unwilling to forgive and forgive, let alone me waiting for a merchant!"

"Everyone, calm down, don't mess yourself up. Things haven't reached that point yet. Juyongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Then Jiang Yu and Wang Chengyin have [-] to [-] troops. They will definitely fight to the death. It will definitely come in."

Although Fan Yongdou was also panicking in his heart, but luckily he could barely keep calm.

"But the imperial court's [-] troops are all masters of tigers and wolves. In Tongzhou, even the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty can be defeated. What if the two of them fail to defend?"

"Yes, it's about the lives of our entire family, and we must not place all our hopes on them."

Wang Dengku and Jin Liangyu were not very optimistic about Wang Chengyin and Jiang Yu. After all, they came from the Chinese army. As the saying goes, the name of a person is the shadow of a tree.

After the First World War in Tongzhou, Hong Niangzi and her soldiers were known as the most powerful army in Ming Dynasty.

It was also this battle that shocked all the ambitious people in the world, and the arrogant soldiers from all over the world no longer dared to be as arrogant and domineering as before, turning a deaf ear to the emperor's orders.

Because everyone knew that Daming had an army capable of fighting, and had a general who could command hundreds of thousands of troops and defeat Jiannu in field battles, and this general was also the imperial concubine.

In this case, it means that His Majesty is holding a peerless sharp blade. Whoever dares to disobey the king's order will be struck by thunder.

"You two are right. We really have to prepare for the worst. If Juyongguan is really breached, there may be no room for me to stand in this Ming Dynasty!"

Fan Yongdou nodded, saw everyone looking at him, and continued to speak slowly: "Everyone will pack up after going back, and pack everything that can be taken away into a package car. Once Juyongguan is breached, I will go out directly and go to the Great Wall." Cleared up."

"Oh! That's the only way to go."

"It's not too late, let's clean it up."

Everyone sighed and left one after another. Fortunately, most of their immediate family members and the wealth they have accumulated over the years are in Zhangjiakou.

As for the rest of the relatives and clansmen, they can only send someone to inform them, if they can escape, they will escape, if they cannot escape, there is no other way.

After everyone left, Fan Yongdou called his youngest son over and asked him to go to naturalization immediately, and contact the Eight Banners stationed there to send troops to Zhangjiakou to meet him.
