Chapter 75 Loss of Changping

Yue Yang has become the Minister of Intelligence.

Receive information from various places and report to Zhu Cixiang in a timely manner:

"Your Highness, Li Fang's Ministry has sent an urgent report that Yang Gu led his army to defeat Juyong and march south to Changping!"

Zhu Cixiang immediately looked at Tianshou Mountain:

"Jiannu went south to Changping. If Changping is not preserved, the imperial mausoleum may be destroyed."

Yue Yang was a little confused:

"Your Highness, there are heavy troops stationed in Changping, and with the Tianjin general's troops from Chao Pichang rushing to rescue us, we should be fine!"

Zhu Cixi snorted coldly:

"Hmph, if my guess is correct, Chao Pichang should surrender without a fight. Changping will soon fall. Order the guards to light a fire and cook immediately. Three hours later, the troops will march to Tianshou Mountain."

Yue Yang was immediately shocked. So far, no general in the Ming Dynasty has surrendered and established slaves. Is Chao Pichang going to break this record?

If someone else said this, Yue Yang would never believe it. However, the Crown Prince's predictions came true many times. Yue Yang did not dare to question the Crown Prince and immediately ordered someone to convey the Crown Prince's order to Zhou Yuji.

Of course, Zhu Cixiang was not just talking empty words. He clearly remembered that during the fourth time in history, when the Jiannu invaded the country to plunder, Chao Pichang, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin, surrendered to the Jiannu, which resulted in the destruction of Changping City and the burning of the imperial mausoleum.

The time when Jiannu entered the pass was a few days different from what he remembered. It was just that Azig who attacked Changping in Juyongguan became Yanguli. He did not think that the immoral things Jiannu did would not happen.

It was impossible for Zhu Cixiang to defend Changping. Once he was besieged by tens of thousands of Tatars, his plan would be ruined. It was best to use Tianshou Mountain to kill Jiannu so that the Tatars could not get out of Tianshou Mountain.

As for the two armies of Abatai and Azige, Zhu Cixiang could only leave them to the Qinwang soldiers. Zhu Cixiang did not hold out the slightest hope as to what they could do.

July 15th

Yang Guli led an army of 30,000 people and had just arrived at Changping City. Two thousand Yan soldiers in the city opened the city and surrendered. Chao Pichang, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin, was definitely a coward. He surrendered without fighting or running away.

However, many officials in Changping City did the opposite to Chao Pichang. They would rather die in battle than surrender. Unfortunately, they were all weak and weak and resisted for a period of time and all died in the battle.

We must remember the names of these Ming Dynasty officials who died bravely in battle:

Guarding Xian Zhenji, instructing Chang Shiguang, Xue Zheng Xie Huai Liang, the official Guo Yong, the judge Hu Weizhong, the eunuch guarding the mausoleum Wang Xizhong, the chief of the Baoding Tong judge Wang Yuhu Department Wang Yigui and hundreds of soldiers loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

When the news reached the capital, the government and the public were extremely shocked. Changping, an important city where soldiers had gathered to defend it to the death, was easily breached by Jian Nu. Many officials were killed in battle, killed or surrendered.

What made Chongzhen and the Manchu civil and military officials most angry was the surrender of General Chao Pichang.

Although the Ming Dynasty had been at war with Jiannu for decades, although it suffered more defeats and fewer victories, the Ming people always regarded Jiannu as barbarians who did not understand ethics and education.

Many generals surrendered to the establishment of slaves, but Chao Pichang, a senior officer in the general army, was the first.

The surrender of Chao Pichang was undoubtedly a strong shock to the entire dynasty. Chongzhen was furious and immediately issued an order to destroy the nine tribes of Chao Pichang.

Every time the slaves entered the country to plunder, they caused huge disasters to the Ming Dynasty and the people. They were like the Japanese who entered the villages in later generations, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil.

Because of the policy of killing all the wild boar skins, the Ming people in Liaodong were almost completely slaughtered. After Huang Taiji came to power, in order to restore the population and production, he entered the customs and plundered the population as slaves. Anyone who resisted even the slightest was killed.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how could Chongzhen not know about the inhumane killing of Jiannu? Seeing all the ministers with sad faces and bowed their heads as if they were their own fathers, Chongzhen became even more angry.

"Isn't your internal fighting fierce? You impeached the royal guards and deposed the prince, incited the prison students to protest and force the palace. Now that the slaves are here, why don't you say anything? And you nobles, the country has supported you for two hundred years, why don't you say a word and lead the troops to fight...

…”

No matter how much Emperor Chongzhen scolded him, the usually arrogant and domineering talkers just didn't speak. They couldn't fight, and they didn't have a strategy to deal with it. Now that they even wanted to write a memorial, they didn't know where to start.

The nobles have lived in luxury for many years and have not had a fight. Now there are not many people who can lift the sword, and they also dare not speak out.

In the end, the old British public was so angry that he had no choice but to step forward:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the five thousand Shenshu battalion to fight!"

Before Zhang Zhiji finished speaking, Li Banghua, the Minister of War, came out to play:

"Your Majesty, I suggest that Yongwei Camp and Shenshu Camp go out of the city to fight Jiannu. We must not let Jiannu wreak havoc in the capital. Although Shenshu Camp and Yongwei Camp combined only have 10,000 troops, there are also various Qinwang soldiers and horses.

Helping Jiannu should teach him a lesson!"

Cao Huachun's face turned green when he heard Li Banghua's suggestion.

The Qinwang soldiers and horses from all walks of life did not dare to fight after entering the capital. They could only follow Jiannu around. If the Yongwei battalion went to fight, they might be tricked to death by these incompetent people. By then, the capital would have no soldiers to defend it.

Seeing no one objected, Lao Cao had no choice but to bow and said:

"Your Majesty, you can't. Although the Yongwei Camp is good at fighting, the safety of the capital is the most important. Once the Shenshu Camp and the Yongwei Camp go to war, the capital will have no troops to defend it. I hope your Majesty will think twice!"

In the past, Chongzhen believed that there were 80,000 soldiers in the capital camp, but after the prince made statistics, he told him that the actual number of soldiers in the capital camp was less than 30,000. If the Yongwei camp and the Shenshu camp were allowed to leave the city, the walls of the capital would not be full of people.

Without Cao Huachun's warning, Chongzhen would not let Yongwei Camp and Shenshu Camp go into battle. Once the capital city was defeated, the Ming Dynasty would be overturned, so he could not be impulsive.

Chongzhen had no choice but to wave his hands to Cao Huachun and Zhang Zhiji:

"I am very pleased that the British lineage is loyal, but the safety of the capital is the most important. I have ordered the Yongwei Battalion to assist in the defense of the capital. Zhang Fengyi, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, went out to patrol the city and commanded all the troops to fight against the slaves. We must go all out!"

"According to the order!"

17th

Two days after Changping fell, the city had been looted.

At least 8,000 Ming people who resisted were killed, and thousands of innocent people who did not resist were massacred. Very few Ming women in the city escaped the ravages of the slave builders. 20,000 young Ming men and women were controlled and later brought back to Liaodong to be slaves.

From time to time, screams of young women could be heard from the General Military Mansion. Yang Guli, the slave-brother-in-law, was like a crazy beast. He used his hands and feet to ravage more than a dozen naked young women in the room.

"Ah...the dog Tartars are worse than animals..."

Two women with strong personalities yelled at Yangu Li. Yangu Li was so angry that he grabbed their hair and threw them out of the room:

"You are a brave and ungrateful dog, so I will reward you for playing..."

"Thank you, Master..."

The guard outside the door thanked his master and immediately pulled the two women into the next room...

At this time, two Niu Lu took Chao Pichang, who had just surrendered, to the door of Yang Guli's room and knocked softly:

"Bang bang..."

Chao Pichang was sprinting hard, and when he heard someone interrupting him, he immediately cursed:

"Bold slave, get out of here!"

The three people hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed:

"Master, I don't want to disturb you, but Chao Pichang said that there may be many valuable items in the Minggou Emperor's Tomb in Tianshou Mountain..."

Yangu Li stopped:

"Why don't you go grab it..."

"twitter!"

The three dog slaves immediately turned around and left, and Niu Lu stopped not far away:

"Chao Pichang, you surrendered to the Qing Dynasty for nothing. I will give you a chance to show off. Take your men and horses to clean up the Ming Dog Emperor's Tomb and then set it on fire..."

"This...cha!"

It is not easy to be a traitor, and it is not easy to burn the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty. If Chao Pichang burns the imperial mausoleum, he will become a sinner for the ages.

Not agreeing is not enough, Chao Pichang is aggrieved. A dignified general was actually commanded by two Niu Lu. Before surrender, he walked sideways in Tianjin. I like the Ming Dynasty. In the prosperous era, I started from the prince's supervision of the country. Please collect it: (
