Borrow the day to change the day

() When Yuan Chonghuan discovered that the main force of the Jianlu suddenly turned around and went straight to the capital, he decided to go to the capital and rely on the capital's strong artillery to attack the Jianlu, thereby repelling the Jianlu. In this way, the losses of the Guanning Army will also be reduced to Minimum, in line with the interests of the Liaodong Group.

But He Kegang stood up and objected: "It is better for the army to meet Jianlu, not to enter the capital. Besides, Jianlu is in the Tongzhou area. Our army is stationed in Zhangjiawan, fifteen miles away from Tongzhou, and the grain and salary are given to Hexi Wu. This place is the best for defense. Ruo Ruo The teacher went directly to the capital, and the law of the Ming Dynasty said that the soldiers of the border towns easily entered the capital city without a clear order, and it was regarded as treason. Please think twice."

"Now is an extraordinary period. We must not stick to the rules. The strategy against the captives has already been positioned to counterattack them based on strong cities and sharp guns. Cheng Qu needless to say."

In the middle of the night on November [-]th of the second year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan led the Guanning Army to the outside of the Guangqu Gate of the capital, which frightened the defenders and almost misunderstood and fired.

Yuan Chonghuan asked to see Emperor Chongzhen immediately, but was not allowed, and sent a message to the imperial court the next day.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that Yuan Chonghuan, who had lost the news, was leading the army, he also let go of his heart. Although the general of the Xuanfu, Man Gui, had arrived in the capital by order, there were only more than 5000 people, which were comparable to the elite Guan Ning cavalry. .

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about the offense of Yuan Chonghuan's failure to arrive at the capital city under the clear order, and sent an order to meet him.

After Yuan Chonghuan received the summons, he changed into a green robe and black hat, and was surprised when He Kegang bumped into him.Yuan Chonghuan said to He Kegang: "Chengqu, you don't know how to be flexible, you need to learn more." After finishing speaking, he ignored He Kegang's questioning and left directly.

After seeing Emperor Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and he didn't know what it was like. He loved him, but hated him; he hoped to withdraw him, but now he was looking forward to him again;

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yanru, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward to impeach Yuan Chonghuan for conniving at Jianlu to poison Guan and even the land of Gyeonggi without firing a single arrow.

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he immediately retorted how powerful Jianlu was. My soldiers and horses confronted Jianlu head-on in the wild.Jianlu had made sufficient preparations before attacking, and his purpose was to capture the capital and become emperor.

When Zhou Yanru heard that Jianlu was so powerful, he didn't dare to speak.

Emperor Chongzhen sighed in his heart, and comforted Yuan Chonghuan, don't worry, work hard, and even put his mink coat on Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan originally wanted to scare more, to see if he could scare the officials in the capital to come forward and talk to Jianlu, so that he would have nothing to do.However, it seems that there is no effect, and I dare not say it clearly.But now the situation is quite satisfactory, at least no one said that he would be punished.

The two sides had a friendly communication. Finally, according to the usual practice, Emperor Chongzhen asked Yuan Chonghuan if he had any other requests. If not, he would go back and lead the troops properly.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Chonghuan really had a request, which was also one of the main purposes of his meeting: "Your Majesty, I have a request, and I hope Your Majesty will grant it."

Emperor Chongzhen was taken aback for a moment, he really still had a request, so he asked Yuan Chonghuan to mention it.

"Your Majesty, the Guan Ning army has been fighting for days, and the men and horses are exhausted. Please allow them to enter the city to rest."

What, I don't care that you led troops to the capital without obeying the order, and now you have to make progress, and you are about to enter the city.When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was secretly annoyed, but he didn't dare to turn his face like this.

Emperor Chongzhen refused on the spot.

Yuan Chonghuan saw that he couldn't do it. If he couldn't enter the city, he would have to fight with Jianlu outside the city, and the loss would be great.So, insist again.

Emperor Chongzhen still didn't allow it.

During the stalemate, the servant came to report that the army of Jianlu appeared outside the city.

So, after this unpleasant interview ended, Yuan Chonghuan hurried back to help defend, and Emperor Chongzhen set up the tower to watch.

Jianlu robbed all the way very well, without a corresponding resistance, the army was defeated when he met the army;

After arriving at the capital of the Ming Dynasty, I discovered that the city walls of the capital were much taller and more majestic than any other cities I had seen before. My heart was half cold.It seems that there is probably nothing to do, but they are all here, so they have to fight anyway, and set up camp first.

Emperor Chongzhen grew up in the deep palace since he was a child. He had seen a big battle. When he got to the city wall and saw the densely packed Jian captives, he couldn't help but feel a little timid, but he didn't show it. He condoled the officers and soldiers and went back to the palace.

In the next few days, the siege and defense battle of you and me began, and the two sides won each other.But there were a few things that made Emperor Chongzhen very angry.

First, the city wall of the capital city was knocked down by the cannons looted by Jianlu a few times. Fortunately, Man Gui led the army to resist desperately, which gave the city a chance to repair it.

Second, the Ming army who fired cannons on the city wall was unfamiliar with their business, and they even hit their own ranks.

Third, Jianlu saw that the Guanning Army was much more elite than the Xuanfu Army, so he picked up soft persimmons and pinched them. The fighting here was in full swing, and they were chatting and grinding their teeth that day, meaning; there was even a period of time when the Xuanfu Army couldn't stop them So he walked around the city, wanting Guan Ningjun to help block it, but was treated to a meal by the friendly army with arrows, and even the main general Man Gui was defeated.

Man Guiyi complained to the imperial court, but he didn't deal with it immediately, so he stayed.

Late that night, Emperor Chongzhen read the book after finishing the day's memorial.Wang Chengen, who was accompanying him at the side, saw that it was midnight, and looked at the bloodshot eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, and couldn't help feeling a little worried: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to bed."

Emperor Chongzhen put down the book and looked at Wang Chengen: "Big companion, I can't sleep. I can't sleep these days."

That's right, when soldiers are approaching the city, if they can still eat, eat and sleep as usual, they are either pigs or gods.

Emperor Chongzhen probably also wanted to talk to people, so he talked to Wang Chengen: "Big companion, don't tell me that Jianlu soldiers are coming to the city. He also shot and wounded the friendly army, and the city wall of the capital collapsed. I am very worried about this pile of piles!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to retire all the maids on the left and right, and then asked: "Dear Companion, you said that Mr. Zhong said that I am the king of the Wang Kingdom, do you believe it now?"

Wang Chengen didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen would ask this question, so he couldn't help being taken aback, but he reacted immediately, and immediately expressed his disbelief, and the Tatars also came first, didn't all the Mongol Alta Khan come to the city before, it's not all right.

Emperor Chongzhen felt a little relieved, but he was still very worried, saying that the situation was different. Now that the national treasury has been in short supply for so many years, he had never seen such a thing that happened before.

Wang Chengen frowned, thinking how to comfort Emperor Chongzhen, suddenly, there was.Didn't the heavens send Mr. Zhong to help His Majesty? That day, the slave saw Mr. Zhong appear out of thin air with his own eyes. I have never heard that the monarch has such a blessing and can be helped by the heavens.Your Majesty Hong Fu will definitely rejuvenate Daming!

Emperor Chongzhen was also happy when he heard this, but isn't Mr. Zhong still in a coma? This guy is also true. After being in a coma for so long, not only I am anxious, but many people are also anxious, and they still don't wake up! ! !

Wang Chengen said that the imperial doctor estimated that he might wake up in a few days, so His Majesty can rest assured.

After Emperor Chongzhen spoke, he was relieved a lot. He hadn't slept well these days. At this time, he felt sleepy, so he went to bed.

On November 27, the second year of Chongzhen, Jianlu beat the capital of the Ming Dynasty for many days, but he withdrew if he didn't take down, and went to other places to relax and have a good time.

After receiving the report that Jianlu had retreated, Emperor Chongzhen made a series of arrangements: appointing the eunuch Shen Liangzuo, the eunuch of the Rites, the eunuch Lu Zhi, the admiral of Jiumen and Huangchengmen; .

On the first day of December, Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou were recruited into the city to discuss payment.

When Yuan Chonghuan saw Emperor Chongzhen, he found that Man Gui and Hei Yunlong were also by his side, so he couldn't help being taken aback.

Before he woke up, Emperor Chongzhen questioned Yuan Chonghuan for killing Mao Wenlong, causing the enemy soldiers to commit crimes and shooting arrows all over Guizhou.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw Yuan Chonghuan's silence and resistance, he was furious and asked Man Gui to undress on the spot to show the arrow wound.

Yuan Chonghuan is really silent this time. Now is not the time to speak. Anyway, there are still [-] Guanning iron cavalry of mine outside. Are you afraid of mutiny if you arrest me now?

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen was really not afraid, because he had already prepared: Immediately put Yuan Chonghuan in the Jinyiwei Hall outside the West Chang'an Gate, and sent him to the Fusi Supervisor in Nanzhen.In addition, Zu Dashou was ordered to take over the Guanning iron cavalry, and Mangui commanded the army of King Qinqin of the capital.

On the one side, Cheng Jiming, a scholar of the cabinet, and Bi Ziyan, the secretary of the household department, were shocked, and hurriedly came out to persuade him, Jianlu had not gone away, and it was probably inappropriate to deal with it at this time.

Emperor Chongzhen said: "I have to listen to people's advice early, so that the matter will not end here. I paid Yuan Chonghuan for the Liao affairs, but it was the madness of Jianlu. However, he restrained the soldiers and sat back and watched the evil being plundered, which is far greater than the merit. If we don't deal with it, I will be sorry for the people."

All the ministers were silent when they heard it.

Zu Dashou didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. When he returned to the camp, he couldn't stand on his feet and sat for a long time before he recovered.

He Kegang came to Zu Dashou after hearing the result of the disposition and suggested to Zu Dashou: If you take advantage of the plunder and cover up to kill him, you will be able to win a big victory, and use this merit to redeem the supervisor. "

Zu Dashou frowned and thought for a while, "Go back first, let me think twice." Then he sent He Kegang back.If you want to use this strategy, you will have to fight with your wealth and life, and you are a little hesitant, so you have to think carefully.

Besides, after Emperor Chongzhen finished disposing of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, he began to deal with another matter: the tofu dregs project of the capital city wall.Unexpectedly, the handling of such a big matter as Yuan Chonghuan was handled relatively smoothly, but the anti-corruption work encountered great resistance instead.
