Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 240 Huang Taiji Attacks the Capital
However, the legend continues!

For example, there was a three-year-old child who was suffering from a cold and had a fever and became unconscious and almost died. When Baohetang dropped a bottle of magical medicine, the child recovered from the fever within a quarter of an hour.

A noble lady in her 30s had a toothache that caused her to die. She went to the entire Beijing Normal University to see all kinds of doctors, but they couldn’t eradicate it. However, after arriving at Baohetang, she drilled a small hole in the back of the tooth to clean out the dirt inside. , and then plug it, and the root cause of the disease will be eliminated.

For example, a 40-year-old high-ranking official had inexplicably grown a lot of fat in his eyes, and his eyesight was getting worse and he was almost blind. After staying for a while, my eyesight recovered.

There are so many kinds that cannot be counted.

The name of Baohetang, as more and more people he cured, spread farther and farther. Even Xiong Wencan, who is far away in Xiangyang, has heard of this medical center.

Ever since Baohe Tang's business improved, Zhu Changyuan has been stationed in Xiangyang City, monitoring Zhang Xianzhong's every move day and night, but he also knows that this kind of surveillance is basically useless.

Once Huang Taiji's army crossed the Great Wall and attacked the capital, Zhang Xianzhong would definitely rebel.

Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion was a later story, and Luo Rucai had already responded to Li Zicheng, broke away from the embrace of the Ming Empire again, and vowed to go to the Northern Expedition to compete with Yang Sichang's army in Shaanxi.

Logically speaking, this Luo Rucai rebellion attacked Shaanxi from Yun County to the north, and it should have little to do with Xiangyang City. However, there was a man who came to chat with Zhu Changyuan worried all day long, and even asked Zhu Changyuan what to do?

Xiong Wencan, yes, it is this guy, whether it is Zhang Xianzhong or Luo Rucai, they are all rebels who surrendered with one hand. Now that the court has spent a lot of money, they surrender and rebel again. For Xiong Wencan, it is a disaster.

The court's punishment is the lightest, and if there is a slight emphasis, it may be beheaded. Xiong Wencan also knew it, sighed and said: "Since your Majesty ascended the throne, the four directions have been lost, and all the guards and governors will be imprisoned. As for beheading?" There are hundreds of torturers, this old man may not be spared this time, does the general have a good plan?"

Naturally, Zhu Changyuan had no good strategy, and he also knew through Ming history that the governor Xiong was beheaded by Chongzhen after Zhang Xianzhong rebelled.

"Now that Luo Rucai is going north to fight Li Zicheng, the imperial court has already known about this matter. I am afraid that the angel will come to Xiangyang soon to punish you and me for the crime of wronging the king and the country. General, you have to think of a way!" Xiong Wencan said. Just sigh three times.

Zhu Changyuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, thinking that at what time is this, you are still fooling me and waiting for me. Isn't it my job to recruit Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Ru?

Don't say whether he has merit or not, at least he is not guilty. Even if the court asks him to be responsible, he still has something to say, because not long ago he led an army to defeat Zhang Xianzhong's two thousand cavalry and captured Sun Kewang alive.

"Lord Xiong, it's useless to think too much. If the imperial court sends troops to arrest you, what can I do?" Zhu Changyuan spread his hands, handed the half-eaten orange to the old Xiong, and said earnestly: "My lord, what can I do to the imperial court?" With merit, those people should not treat adults like this."

"Confused." Xiong Wencan didn't want to eat oranges. He put the oranges on the table heavily, then slapped the table, and said, "Your Majesty." He frowned and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear, "Your Majesty Those who are mean and ungrateful, those who have made meritorious deeds like Yuan Chonghuan can be executed immediately, and officials from all over the country have no soldiers and no money, but once they lose their land, their heads will fall to the ground. Is it really difficult for us to do this?"

"It will be even more difficult!" Zhu Changyuan's face darkened, and he said, "If the imperial court really ordered the arrest of your lord, would you be able to resist?"

Facing Zhu Changyuan's question, Xiong Wencan gritted his teeth and said: "The land of Jingxiang is so rich and prosperous. Right now, there are thieves all over the country, and there are Jian captives from outside. , together with Zhang Zizhong and Huang Taiji..."

"Bang bang!" Zhu Changyuan's face darkened, he patted the table vigorously, and said angrily: "Shameless, I miss you and my friendship. Today Zhu pretends that you haven't said anything. If there is another time, don't wait for the court." When the angel arrives, this general will be with you and your descendants in an instant."

Zhu Changyuan is understandable if he communicates with Zhang Xianzhong to find a way out, because people's struggle in the face of death is always understandable, but if they want to join forces with Huang Taiji to seek the land of China and connect with foreign races, it will be a great shame and humiliation for Zhu Changyuan.

Having no more common language with Xiong Wencan, he left his official office angrily and returned to his tent.

Seeing his displeasure, Li Xin asked, "What's wrong with the general?"

Zhu Changyuan then explained to him one by one what the old guy Xiong Wencan said before.

Li Xin said with a smile: "General, don't be so angry. This is just Xiong Wencan jumping over the wall in a hurry. Now Luo Rucai has turned against him. Zhang Xianzhong is still waiting and watching. The imperial court's punishment for the instigator is predictable. If he and Zhang Xianzhong communicated, I believe it. As far as I know, this guy has accepted many gifts and property from Zhang Xianzhong."

When Zhu Changyuan heard this, his old face couldn't help but blush, and he thought to himself: I have also accepted Zhang Xianzhong's property.Thinking that I also sent a bicycle and a watch, I felt a lot more at ease.

"However." Li Xin continued with a smile: "If he wants to unite with Huang Taiji, I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability or connections. General, don't get angry."

"En!" Zhu Changyuan felt a little better when he heard what Li Xin said.

But just after recovering, Li Xin's words almost spit out the tea in his mouth again.

"However, the general can actually consider the words of Governor Xiong."

"What did you say?" Zhu Changyuan didn't mind rebelling, but if he were to join forces with Old Xiong and Huang Taiji, it would be an insult to him.

I have no ability or no money?or no one?Need their support?

"Listen to me, General." Li Xin's face became ruthless, and he said: "At this time, there are Huang Taiji outside the Ming Dynasty, and Li Zicheng, Chongtian Pao, Luo Rucai, and Zhang Xianzhong inside. The north will be in chaos sooner or later."

"If the general can annex Zhang Xianzhong in Gucheng in one go, take advantage of Yang Sichang's departure from Shu and merge into Xichuan, and then connect Jingxiang to Jinling, the land in the south of the Yangtze River will be at your fingertips."

What Li Xin said had some truth, but it was too risky and the success rate was very low.

First of all, Zhu Changyuan has too few soldiers, even if he is allowed to swallow such a large territory, secondly, there is no war in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no danger of disaster. If Chongzhen pulls out his hand to clean up himself, the loss outweighs the gain.

The point is that the main purpose of his coming to the Ming Dynasty was to conquer the hearts of the people and convey the concept of modernization. If he blindly conquered, he would not have time to do system tasks. Even if he won the world by then, ten years would pass in a blink of an eye, and he would not be a dead body by then pile?No, it's the bones that can't be left behind, being swallowed up by the system!

"People in the south of the Yangtze River want to see the light, that's not right!" Zhu Changyuan shook his head.

Li Xin felt disappointed, and said: "What the general said is also reasonable, the time is not yet ripe, and it is not too late to make plans when there is an opportunity."

+ + + + + + + + + + + +
Maybe it's the arrival of Zhu Changyuan, maybe it's the inexplicable shift in the historical trajectory of the parallel world.

In the 11th year of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng returned to Shangluo ahead of schedule and gathered refugees from Sichuan and Shaanxi to attack Chang'an.

Once the fuse was ignited, the brewing gunpowder barrels erupted in an instant. A series of chain reactions made the Ming Dynasty unable to react in time, and the entire north of the Yangtze River was raging with war.

Luo Rucai reversed, and the sky cannon reversed.

But none of these can hurt the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Empire has sunk into the sky, the fighting power of the troops in various places is unprecedented in all dynasties.

What shocked the entire Ming Dynasty was: Huang Taiji called.

After Huang Taiji learned of the civil strife in the Ming Empire, he led his troops back to attack Jinzhou again. Unfortunately, he returned in vain, because the Ningjin defense line established by the great master Sun Chengzong was really a solid wall. Couldn't tear one corner off.

Huang Taiji returned in vain, but instead of going home, he went to another place.

Aren't you an impregnable wall, aren't you difficult to conquer, aren't there six thousand Guanning cavalry that are difficult to stop?

It doesn't matter, I just take a detour.

Regardless of the hardships, Huang Taiji led his army through Mongolia, entered directly from the Xuanfu, passed the Great Wall, and arrived at the capital directly.

For a moment, the entire Ming Empire was shocked, and Emperor Chongzhen was furious.

But things have to be done, and then there is resistance and troop deployment.

First, troops were transferred from Shanhaiguan, and then Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army was also transferred to assist in defending the city.

Beijing's city defenses are tall, and there are plenty of food and materials inside. Not to mention Huang Taiji's 20 army, even 30 people have to fight around the capital, and it is difficult to break through.

When the Mongols attacked the city of Beijing, Yu Qian just stood by and waited for help, and finally defeated Mongolia.

Before Yuan Dudu was imprisoned, he also fought against Huang Taiji for more than a dozen days and nights in the suburbs of Beijing. No, he didn't even think about touching the clothes of the capital, because he deeply understood how big the dozens of red cannons in the city are?

So this time, although Chongzhen was furious, he would not really be afraid. The only thing to worry about was the people around the capital, who might suffer another looting.

+ + + + + + + +
The news of Huang Taiji's siege of the capital spread to Xiangyang City, thousands of miles away, only two days later.

"General!" Li Xin ran into Zhu Changyuan's big tent in a panic, and said, "General, it's a big deal, a big deal! Jianlu sent troops to go around Mongolia and cross the Great Wall, and they are already approaching the capital."

"En!" Zhu Changyuan raised his head, glanced at Li Xin indifferently, and said, "I expected them to come back, so don't be surprised, Mr. Li. What we have to do now is to guard against Zhang Xianzhong, a hungry tiger."

"It's spring, the hibernating snakes and insects are about to wake up." Zhu Changyuan stood up, looked at the door of the tent, and smiled slightly.
