Facts have proved that the difference between history and reality is only a few days. In early June, the Jiannu slaves were already demolishing the border wall. They had already entered the customs on June 10 and ten, but they did not get the information until now, and the border troops concealed it and did not report it.

Zhu Cixiang was very angry, but he couldn't blame Ye BuZhou for not delivering the intelligence in time. The East Palace Guards Ye BuZhou's power and ability to obtain intelligence were not yet able to reach the border, and they could only obtain it through the border army.

If the Jiannu arrived in the Gyeonggi area, the East Palace Guards would have to stay up all night to understand their movements. Through the fact that Jiannu demolished the border wall and entered the customs this time, Zhu Cixiang could be sure that someone in the border army had some kind of transaction with Jiannu.

Counting on a thousand men of the East Palace Guards to stop Jian Nu from entering the border on three routes, Zhu Cixiang knew that they did not have the ability and could not do it. He could only wait for Jian Nu to enter the capital and kill him until he was bleeding like a river.

Seeing that the message had not been received all night long and his face was full of fatigue, Zhu Cihong said:

"Leave immediately after eating, drinking, and resting for two hours. Tell Li Fang that Jian Nu will soon enter the Gyeonggi area to plunder. I want detailed information on Jian Nu's activities in Gyeonggi. Yue Yang, go and make arrangements!"

"Here"

Zhu Cihong took a look at the sand table and said to Zhou Yuji:

"Zhou Yuji ordered the East Palace Guards to enter a state of preparation for war, prepare dry food for ten days, and be ready to fight at any time. He also ordered people to send information to the Yongwei Camp so that the Yongwei Camp can be mentally prepared."

Zhou Yuji hurriedly accepted the order:

"Here!"

Zhu Cixiang originally wanted to send some information to Chongzhen, but immediately gave up the idea. Chongzhen knew what the use would be, and at most he would mobilize all the troops from all over the country to serve as King Qin in Beijing.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, those remnant soldiers who were defeated and entered the garrison looked at the Jiannu from a distance and did not dare to fight at all. The common people were miserable. They had to endure the ravages of the Jiannu and plunder by the government troops.

Within three days, all the forts in Beijing were captured by the Jiannu Third Army.

On July 1, Jiannu gathered in Yanqing County, the capital, and defeated the Ming army seven times in a row. Wang Zhaokun, the censor of the Ming Dynasty, refused to surrender and died fighting for his country. The Ming army retreated to Changping.

Capital of the Ming Dynasty

After the Crown Prince went on a killing spree, the civil service group finally became quiet for a while. Emperor Chongzhen felt much quieter when he went to court every day, but he still couldn't accomplish much.

Nowadays, no one in the civil service group dares to directly confront the emperor, but they still never stop bickering with each other when something happens.

There was a major disaster in Shaanxi, a major disaster in Henan, and another serious flood in Jiangnan. The court discussed the situation for several days without any results.

No one in the court mentioned the Crown Prince and the Imperial Guards again, and Emperor Chongzhen temporarily forgot about his rebellious son. He returned to his usual diligent days, going to court during the day and approving documents until late at night.

June 21

Empress Zhou and her two concubines had just experienced a few days of happiness after a long drought, and Emperor Chongzhen was nowhere to be seen. The three beauties couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Even though they were itching in their hearts, Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian did not dare to speak out. Empress Zhou used the excuse of inviting the emperor to a meal and asked the young eunuch to invite Emperor Chongzhen.

After receiving the invitation from Queen Zhou, Chongzhen readily agreed. He knew that he had neglected Queen Zhou and the two concubines in recent years, and he felt a little sorry.

But just as he was about to leave for Kunning Palace, Wang Chengen hurried in:

"Your Majesty hastened to report the battle... to establish slaves... to establish slaves and Kou Bian..."

"What?"

After receiving the urgent battle report, he saw that the Jiannu slaves had reached Yanqing. Chongzhen was shocked and angry and threw the battle report on the floor:

"Asshole...Asshole, why didn't you report the slaves who entered the customs for many days? I know that these generals cannot be trusted. They will do nothing but ask for money..."

Chongzhen was not stupid. Although he had never left the capital, he knew how many days it would take for the slaves to detour through Mongolia to demolish the border wall and then fight to Yanqing County, the capital. The battle report was at least twenty days late.

"Wang Daban, please order the Han general to ring the bell..."

"Bang bang..."

Not long after the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty retired, they suddenly heard the bell of Bauhinia City suddenly ringing. They hurried to the Huangji Palace not knowing what had happened.

"See Your Majesty!"

"No gift!"

After the visit, the ministers looked up and saw Emperor Chongzhen on the throne with a sinking face, as if his father had just died.

Only Zhang Fengyi, Secretary of the Ministry of War, knew what was going on. He had just received an urgent battle report from the border army. Before Emperor Chongzhen could speak, Zhang Fengyi stepped forward and bowed down:

"Your Majesty, I have just received an urgent report from the border army that Jiannu has taken a detour to Mongolia to invade the border again. Now he has arrived in Yanqing. Please ask your Majesty to quickly mobilize the general troops from each town to the King Qin..."

The words of Zhang Fengyi, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, immediately caused an uproar among the ministers. While many of them were trembling with words, they were already preparing to impeach the border army generals and the Ministry of War for their negligence.

Chongzhen ignored the discussions among the officials. He stared coldly at Zhang Fengyi, the Minister of War, and said angrily:

"Zhang Fengyi, you, the Minister of War, have done a great job. You drained the Ming Dynasty's treasury with the pay of the nine-border army, but you allowed Jiannu to easily kill Yanqing. Don't tell me that you are completely unaware of this!"

Zhang Fengyi trembled all over and said hurriedly:

"I did not know about my capital crime. I and Your Majesty received urgent reports at the same time. The border troops may have thought that they could prevent Jian Nu from entering the pass. Unexpectedly, Jian Nu actually broke down the wall and entered the pass, so..."

Before Zhang Fengyi finished speaking, a censor was impatient to come out to play:

"Your Majesty, the general of the border army allowed Jiannu to easily kill near the capital and endanger the safety of the capital. The Ministry of War did not know the truth. I impeach the Ministry of War for negligence and suggest that the officials of the Ministry of War stop investigating!"

"I second the proposal!"

After the censor said this, there were actually several civil censors who seconded the opinion. For the civil censors, it was too dangerous for Jian Nu to come to the capital unknowingly. They all had properties and land in the capital.

Wen Tiren looked up at several civil servants and censors and shook his head. The most important thing now is to fight against Jiannu with all his strength. You guys are impeaching me!

As expected by Wen Tiren, Chongzhen glared at several censors and angrily said:

"Shut up. All the officials of the Ministry of War have been suspended. Can you command the fight against the slave establishment? Ignorant and corrupt officials should stand down!"

Before the crown prince took charge of the country, Emperor Chongzhen had never scolded the civil service censors like this. Several civil service censors turned red in the face and hurriedly retreated to court in embarrassment, not daring to say anything more.

After scolding several expressionless civil officials and censors, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty:

"How to resist the establishment of slaves? Let the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, and the cabinet all tell you!"

The old fox Wen Tiren leaves work and gives up:

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army are best at commanding operations. The Cabinet cannot and should not intervene rashly, but the Cabinet will fully support the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Wu Army..."

What the hell, there is no difference whether Wen Tiren says it or not. At this time, Chongzhen suddenly felt that Wen Tiren was incompetent. He looked at Zhang Fengyi, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, the Governor of the Left:

"You two tell us how to fight against the establishment of slaves!"

Duke Cheng Guo is even more incompetent than Wen Tiren, and now he is worried that Chongzhen will let him lead troops into battle:

"Your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies does not have the power to control the military, but only has the power to train troops. I have not participated in actual combat for many years, so I can only defend the capital to protect the safety of the Ming Dynasty!"

When Chongzhen looked at the achievements of Tongxiu, he felt as if he had eaten a fly. It was obvious that Zhu Chunchen refused to fight.

Zhang Fengyi, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, had never led an army in a war. He was a civilian official. Seeing that Zhu Chunchen refused to go to war, he could only bite the bullet and accept the crime and perform meritorious service:

"Your Majesty, although I am incompetent, I have the heart to serve the country. Please send an edict to mobilize the general troops of each town to serve the king. I am willing to go out of the city to command the battle and resolutely drive the slaves out of the capital..." I like the Ming Dynasty. In the prosperous era, I started to invite everyone from the prince to supervise the country.
