There has been a huge panic in the capital.

All kinds of rumors spread quickly.

So the gates of the capital had to be closed.

There are all kinds of rumors now.

It was said that the Beijing camp outside the city had been completely defeated, with tens of thousands of casualties and injuries.

It is also said that the commanders of the Beijing camps in each town have fled south.

Some people also said that His Majesty had followed Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and ran to Nanjing with the imperial carriage overnight.

Now the capital is isolated from outside the city. Not to mention ordinary people, even the officials in the city, I don’t know what happened.

Most of the news sent from the city is false.

So for a moment, I didn’t know which message was true and which message was false.

The scholars began to make various comments at this time, some said that Mao Wenlong had surrendered to Jiannu.

Some people also say that this time it was a thief chief who personally fought for the army and the army had entered Shanhaiguan.

Of course, more people are criticized for falling into this situation because His Majesty appointed a traitor.

In panic, Huang Liji and others had to stand up!

Huang Liji submitted a memorial, asking Sun Chengzong to control the Ministry of War and lead the defense of the capital.

Emperor Apocalypse was taken one by one.

Sun Chengzong also reported that Emperor Tianqi should also follow the instructions of which line of defense should be strengthened and which troops should be mobilized in the city.

There is only one thing, Emperor Tianqi did not criticize him.

That is, Huang Liji believed that at this time, he should order all prefectures and counties to recruit village warriors and come to the capital to serve the king.

Emperor Apocalypse did not think it was a massive attack.

I don’t think that the main force of the Jiannu people arrived here.

If you are just a partial teacher, the number of people may not exceed 1,000.

After a long time of peace in the pass, the garrisons in various places had long been decayed. The hereditary military officers did not know how to control the war. The sudden attack of the Jiannu people brought far more panic than killing.

Sometimes before the troops arrived, local civil and military officials fled.

So... Emperor Tianqi did think that these Jiannu people were very difficult. Only the court slowly stood firm, understood the real enemy situation, and then dispatched some elite troops to encircle. Even if they could not be wiped out completely, at least... they could scare away these Jiannu people.

But once an edict is issued to serve the king, it will obviously be different.

This means that the entire Ming Dynasty will undergo an unprecedentedly grand mobilization.

Not only the troops guarding Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Shanhaiguan and other front lines need to be allocated elite troops and immediately return to the pass.

In addition, all the prefectures and counties near the capital need to collect a large amount of people and grain!

Once dozens or even millions of people were mobilized, it turned out that these Jiannu were only a thousand people, then... it would be really ridiculous.

Emperor Aoki could not afford to lose this face.

He has been hesitating.

At this time... he was also extremely disappointed with the Beijing Camp...

Judging from many war reports, there are many problems in the Jingying camp. The problems of these military horses that have been pacified near the Jinggi for so many years have become prominent.

Three thousand soldiers and horses encountered the Jiannu people, but they were about to collapse. The commander fled first, and his lethality was almost zero.

Just this... Emperor Tianqi had to pinch his nose and think that this command was pretty good, at least... he had the courage to go to war.

However, what Emperor Tianqi was worried about was Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi is still outside the city, and the capital has closed the gates everywhere. Zhang Jingyi will not make any mistakes, right?

There are also the people outside the city who are in such chaos, but they don’t know how much harm they will suffer.

Thinking of this, countless troubles hit Emperor Tianqi's heart, and Emperor Tianqi felt so upset and uncomfortable.

…………

At this time, Zhang Shun took the risk and finally found Zhang Jingyi in Changping.

This is the Zhang family’s manor, and now a stone wall has been built around it.

Finally meeting Zhang Jingyi, Zhang Shun was a little excited and bowed to the ground and said, "Zhang Baihu, Your Majesty has an order..."

"What will?" Zhang Jing was alone outside the city and knew more about what happened outside, so he was also worried at this time.

A large number of people were killed, and many were fleeing.

The situation in the new district is quite good, but in Jixian and other places, the situation is very bad.

Just three hours ago, the Jiannu people slaughtered a market, and more than 300 people died there, blood flowing into a river.

What is terrible is chaos... Because of the chaos, bandits also breed, and they take advantage of the people's escape and robbery everywhere.

The Beijing camps were not much better. The so-called bandits were like combs and soldiers were like casts. Zhang Jingyi really opened his eyes. Some soldiers were called suppressing bandits, but they did not dare to encircle and suppress the Jiannu people. Instead, they harmed the village in the name of collecting grain.

This is a complete end-of-day scene.

Zhang Jingyi finally understood why the Jiannu people were able to enter the pass in history, because to some extent, the worst order defender, was better than the lack of order...

Seeing that Zhang Jingyi's face was very bad, Zhang said by the way: "Your Majesty ordered Zhang Baihu to return to Beijing immediately to discuss military affairs."

"What military affairs are discussed? The capital is good!" Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but complain: "The military and civilians there, as well as princes and nobles, are protected by the city walls of the capital, and tens of thousands of elite guards who do not fight. They are as solid as a god. There is no danger of falling at this time. What military affairs can be discussed?"

Zhang Shun's face changed. He never expected that Zhang Jing would directly refute the imperial edict.

He wanted to say, you are so brave.

But he didn't dare to say this.

So he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is for the safety of Zhang Baihu. Please return to Beijing quickly."

Zhang Jingyi said without hesitation: "Please tell Your Majesty that I am the county magistrate. So many military and civilians in this new county and new district are here. How can I go back to the capital alone? I, Zhang Jingyi, have the responsibility to defend my territory and do not plan to leave. Please go back..."

Zhang Shun was startled and said in a panic: "Zhang Baihu, this is an edict."

Zhang Jing pulled up his face and said without hesitation: "When the country is in danger and the people are suffering, I teach me that I will live a life of silence. I dare not obey the imperial edict. When I go back, I ask Your Majesty, the magistrate of the Jinyiwei, and the Xinxian County Magistrate will lead troops to fight and live and die together with the country. Okay, I have finished speaking, get out!"

Zhang Shun shivered: "I'm afraid..."

Zhang Jingyi's expression suddenly became extremely cold, and pointed to the north and said, "Look, even if it is more than ten miles away from here, it is the imperial tomb. What are you afraid of? Are you not afraid of Jiannu people killing here and digging a grave?"

This made Zhang Shun stunned. Soon, he nodded with a pale face and said, "Yes, I will reply now."

After saying that, he rolled and crawled away.

Send Zhang Shun away.

But Lu Xiangsheng walked out of his ear room and smiled bitterly: "Zhang Baihu... the student read you right."

Lu Xiangsheng is a very strong person. Although he is a scholar, he is actually quite brave as Zhang Fei and Fan Kuai.

Zhang Jingyi was very pleased that he was unwilling to return to Beijing.

Zhang Jingyi was too lazy to play with these polite conspiracies, but said seriously: "Is there the latest military information?"

"have."

After saying that, Lu Xiangsheng spread out the map here.

Lu Xiangsheng pointed at the map and pointed and said, "I have already investigated. The Jiannu people are only a thousand. They entered the Badaogou area more than an hour ago! This is a critical place. Advance can block the throat of the capital, and even go south to Tongzhou. You can retreat from here immediately and retreat back to the Great Wall. They burned and killed in the village for a while. According to the traces of their burial pots and making rice, even feces, their number should be between 500 and 800 people, including more than 130 horses, and the rest were infantry."

"The students also got some news from some defeated Beijing soldiers. The Jiannu people who came to Badaogou seemed to be driving straight in, but in fact they were very cautious in using troops. So they should be led by Niu Lu, and Niu Lu... doesn't look like an ordinary person."

"Niu Lu?" Zhang Jing looked back at Lu Xiangsheng, with deep thought in his eyes.

In the Jiannu military system, the grassroots of the Jiannu Eight Banners is Niulu, and one Niulu leads two to three hundred soldiers.

Then the remaining people... should be the Han army flag troops of the Jiannu people.

If you dare to bring such a few people and kill them in the pass, Niu Lu must be an ordinary person. The other party's purpose is obviously to enter the pass, then create chaos, and then deal with the Ming Dynasty severely, and immediately withdraw to the north of the Great Wall. As long as you leave the Great Wall, you can leave.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "They did not loot, but just solved the problem of food and horse materials on the spot. They did not carry any other things. This was obviously not for looting, but just created chaos, and everything was light and simple! So the students felt that this Niu Lu was extraordinary. The Jiannu people were greedy and wanted to control the flag soldiers below to resist the temptation of wealth and goods. Even the Han army flag was explicitly prohibited. This is a relatively rare situation!"

"Unless... this person has enough prestige to curb the greed of the flag soldiers. Since this person does not love wealth, then it is obviously a bigger attempt."

Zhang Jing nodded and said, "Then what are your suggestions?"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Students thought that these people would continue to create chaos here for three or five days at most. When the court began to slowly come back and no longer had chaos and started to organize people to fight back, they planned to withdraw from the pass. If nothing unexpected happens... they should be on the front line of the Great Wall."

"Someone answered?" Zhang Jingyi stared at Lu Xiangsheng and couldn't help but say, "How can I see it?"

"The Great Wall is bounded thousands of miles long, and although there are many passes that can allow hundreds of people to easily pass through, there are still many. Now they are entering the pass, and just say that the place where they broke through this pass was from Da'ankou. But now they want to go back outside the pass, can they still return from Da'ankou? I'm afraid that at this time, the border troops have already thought of a way to block the gap, so the students can be sure... They should have other passes to break through calmly..."
