Chapter 46: The Danger of Zunhua
Emperor Chongzhen stood with his hands lowered, his eyes slightly opened, and he scanned the various military formations in front of him. Those bright eyes and excited faces made his heart agitate.
From the beginning of the Wanli Dynasty to the Tianqi Dynasty, and even two years before Chongzhen, in the territory of Liaodong, many good men of the Ming Dynasty were captured by the ruthless Jianpi because of a bunch of incompetent, greedy and fearful officials and generals.
Killing, countless blood was spilled on that black land.
The backbone of the Ming Dynasty's army was interrupted due to one tragic defeat after another, and Tan Nu's change of attitude actually became the norm in Liaodong and the Ming Dynasty.
"My lords, what do you think of the performance of my Yongwei camp?!"
Under this deafening roar, Emperor Chongzhen turned around with a cold expression, pointed his hand at the formations of the Yongwei Battalion behind him, looked at Zhou Yanru, Xu Guangqi, Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen and others, and shouted loudly.
Everyone who had been deeply shocked by the current scene now subconsciously lowered their heads when they saw Emperor Chongzhen's sharp eyes and cold expression.
"Your Majesty, the Yongwei Camp can be called the 'First Army of the Ming Dynasty'!" The excited Xu Guangqi suddenly raised his head, bowed his hands to Emperor Chongzhen, and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, the Yongwei Camp can be called the 'First Army of the Ming Dynasty'!"
Zhou Yanru followed closely behind, bowed his hands to Emperor Chongzhen, and shouted loudly.
Recalling the three-stage attack military exercise conducted by the elite soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion just now, and being placed in this current situation, the thoughts that had previously been in the hearts of the ministers were completely evaporated at this moment.
"Zhou Yuji, tell my Yongwei camp what the ministers around me said!" Looking at the ministers who bowed their hands, Emperor Chongzhen shouted loudly to Zhou Yuji who was standing aside.
"Here!"
Zhou Yuji immediately responded with cupped fists, and then quickly walked forward with his sword in hand. He walked to the military formations of the Yongwei Camp, raised his fists, and the generals and generals of the Yongwei Camp scattered in the formations immediately roared angrily.
"end!!"
"end!!"
The excited soldiers, eunuchs, and auxiliary soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion immediately became quiet. They had never experienced this feeling of blood filling their chests before.
Zhou Yuji, who was standing with a sword in hand, was suppressing his inner excitement at this moment. The Yongwei camp he commanded was regarded as the emperor, and was called the "First Army of the Ming Dynasty" by important officials in the court.
How could he, the leader of the Brave Guard Battalion, not be excited? Even if he were to go to the battlefield, he, Zhou Yuji, would never lose this title!
"Your Majesty asked me to tell you something..."
"Your Majesty, something happened!"
Just when Zhou Yuji calmed down and conveyed the words of Emperor Chongzhen to the soldiers of the Yongwei camp in front of him, Wang Dehua hurried over. He who was supposed to be on duty outside the military aircraft office ran to Chongzhen with a memorandum.
In front of the emperor.
"How unbecoming is it to be so panicked!"
Seeing Wang Dehua in such a panic, with Zhou Yuji's voice echoing in his ears, Emperor Chongzhen, who was standing with his hands hanging down, frowned and shouted: "It's the Ming Dynasty's sky that has fallen, and you are told to do this!"
"This slave is guilty!"
When Wang Dehua heard this, he immediately raised his hands in response, then raised his hand and said, "The Military Aircraft Department has received the urgent military information from the Ministry of War, and the urgent military information passed down by Zunhua, please see it."
Um?
Huang Taiji couldn't bear it anymore and sent troops to Zunhua City.
After hearing what Wang Dehua said, Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, took the memorial in front of him, and his mood changed. Zhou Yanru, Xu Guangqi and others standing aside frowned slightly.
At this time, an urgent military situation came from the Zunhua front line. Could it be that the Jianlu took action?
"You guys, come and take a look."
After reading the memorial in his hand, Emperor Chongzhen looked up at Zhou Yanru and others, handed over the memorial in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The chief of the Jianlu slaves, Taiji, led the main force of the Jianlu, marched from the Hanerzhuang area, and approached Zunhua.
At this time, I am afraid that Zunhua City has been surrounded by Jianlu."
"..."
Zhou Yanru and others, who had already made suspicions in their minds, became serious after hearing this. Zhou Yanru stepped forward respectfully and took the memorial from Emperor Chongzhen. Xu Guangqi, Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen and others followed and gathered around, ready to read the memorial.
Content.
'The time is still too short, Huang Taiji, you are really courageous.'
Emperor Chongzhen, who was standing with his hands hanging, frowned slightly, turned around slowly, looked at the various formations of the Yongwei Battalion in front of him, and secretly sighed in his heart: "If you can give me another month, even ten days, this situation in front of me will be better."
If you help Erlang well and drag him to the battlefield, you can reduce a lot of casualties.'
"Fight the Jianlu and defend the Ming Dynasty!"
"Fight the Jianlu and defend the Ming Dynasty!"
The people in the Yongwei camp who were unaware of the situation started roaring again after listening to what Zhou Yuji said. The title of the First Army of the Ming Dynasty was given to them as the Yongwei camp, which made them feel novel and even more excited.
"Your Majesty, Jianlu soldiers are surrounding Zunhua, and the imperial court must respond." Xu Guangqi stepped forward at this moment, frowning and said to Emperor Chongzhen.
"If the Jianlu were allowed to attack Zunhua wantonly and capture Zunhua, it would be a big blow to the Ming Dynasty."
Listening to the roaring voices from up and down the Yongwei camp, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said, "Xu Qing is right, the court must react.
The three temporary guards at the front, middle and back are still consolidating the defense line. On the Qian'an side, only Zhao led the elite of the teaching institute, and there is still no news about Yuan Chonghuan.
The only one who can be dispatched is the Yongwei Battalion in front of us, and tell them to march quickly to Shimen Town!"
"this……"
After hearing this, Xu Guangqi looked shocked and looked up at Emperor Chongzhen's back. His mood became extremely complicated. Did this brave guard battalion, hailed by the emperor as the 'First Army of the Ming Dynasty', just go to the battlefield like this?
"Your Majesty, would you like to dispatch a force of troops from Tongzhou and rush to the Shimen Town area first?" Xu Guangqi pondered for a while, then raised his hand to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Although the Yongwei Camp..."
"No!"
Emperor Chongzhen turned around and interrupted categorically: "The front, middle and rear guards are temporarily set up, and not a single soldier can be mobilized. Even if they are pulled up, they will be massacred.
I know how strong Jianlu is, and Xu Qing also knows it in his heart. At present, the only one in the capital area that can challenge Jianlu is my Yongwei camp.
When I first created the Yongwei Camp, I wanted them to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and carve out a future for themselves. Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, I need them to fight to the death for the Ming Dynasty!"
