Emperor Aoki issued an order.

The days have calmed down again.

After all, no one knows when the Jiannu people will attack.

But life still needs to be passed.

After just one entrustment, new trends occurred in the court.

First, someone impeached Yuan Chonghuan to collude with the enemy and led the peace talks.

Immediately afterwards, someone impeached Man Gui.

There seems to be no shortage of quarrels in the entire capital.

Fortunately, no one pointed the finger at Zhang Jingyi for a while.

After all, Zhang Jingyi is too hard now.

Of course, not competing against each other does not mean that there are no other words.

Sarcastic, but the expertise of scholars.

And to some extent, all officials are precisely the essence of scholars.

Recently, there have been many voices about Lingle Martial Arts Hall and Shenjiying Dianshan Haiguan to guard against the Jiannu people.

Shanhaiguan is the gateway to the capital, and at the same time, you can help Ningyuan.

In the past six months, the martial arts lecture hall and the Shenji Camp have cultivated a large number of talents.

Especially the scholars who entered the school, now they have been admitted to the Shenji Camp to hold various positions after studying in the martial arts lecture hall.

The soldiers recruited were trained immediately, and I heard that they looked very good, not much less than the Donglin Army.

There are even people who say that a soldier from Shenji Camp can reach five Donglin students.

These people, in the classics and history, picked up sentences and found out the allusion of Zhou Yafu's Xiliuying.

It is said that Hong Chengchou is the contemporary Zhou Yafu, and Shenji Camp is the Xiaoliu Camp. How strict the military discipline is and the combat power is not as good as his.

So many ministers went to Shenji Camp for a visit in the name of inspection, and those who entered often praised them after they came back.

Zhang Jingyi didn't care about these words. After all, if Hong Chengchou had spent so much money, if Hong Chengchou could really create an elite army for the Ming Dynasty, the money of Emperor Tianqi would not be unfair.

As for whether they are stronger than the Donglin Army, this obviously does not mean much to Zhang Jingyi.

However, many people inside the Donglin Army were very angry when they heard this.

Of course, with Zhang Jing pressing him down, there would be no chaos.

In June, during this Little Ice Age, it was not until this time that the cold air dissipated from the capital and the weather gradually became hotter.

It seemed that what Huang Taiji was worried about did not happen, like a false alarm.

Just when Emperor Apocalypse breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a fast horse rushed from Guangqumen, and the harem immediately summoned all officials to meet.

Zhang Jingyi had actually known that there was a Malay newspaper for a long time, and he felt that something might have happened.

So he hurried to Xiyuan.

As soon as he arrived here, he saw Emperor Tianqi sitting upright, his ministers were terrified, and all of them looked bad.

Zhang Jing walked in and saluted first: "I've seen Your Majesty."

Emperor Apocalypse nodded at him, then frowned and said, "You can see for yourself."

So a memorial was quickly delivered to Zhang Jingyi by the eunuch.

Zhang Jing looked down and was shocked.

The Jiannu had 50,000 elite cavalry, and there were other countries such as the Korean Kingdom, Mongolian tribes, and nearly tens of thousands of Han military camps. They actually entered Longjing Pass and Da'ankou respectively.

Just one day ago, the vanguard's cavalry suddenly attacked Zunhua and Santun camps. The Ming general Zhao Shujiao, who was stationed in Santun camp, suddenly became unprepared and died immediately. Baoding Governor Wang Yuanya and Baoding General Zhu Guoyan died of suicide when they saw that the matter was irreversible.

When Zhang Jing saw this memorial, her scalp became numb.

The Jiannu people... have entered the pass.

This entry into the Pass is so sudden that it is far beyond everyone's imagination.

This is a large army of more than 100,000 people, and a huge army of more than 100,000 people. Starting from Chenyang, you need to pass through Jizhou, Funing, Yongping and other places.

No one actually issued a warning in advance?

They obviously bypassed Jinzhou and Ningyuan directly, which means...

This means...they received acquiescent from many people during the march. At least many military horses stationed in Liaodong could actually watch them rush towards the capital.

In addition, the military fortresses of the Great Wall, Longjing Pass and Da'ankou, were logically enough to resist the Jiannu people for a while, but the garrisons in the fortress surrendered directly.

Even the Jiannu people suddenly entered the pass, rushed straight into Baoding and other places, and began to clean up the areas outside the capital, preparing for besieging the capital.

Poor the governor and general of Baoding. When they heard the Jiannu people coming, they were afraid that everything would be too late.

After all, they were in the pass, and they were in peace. They never expected that countless Jiannu people would enter the capital in a mighty way. So they cursed the generals of Liaodong incompetent and scolded someone for robbing, and finally chose to commit suicide.

Emperor Aoki was naturally angry.

He frowned and said angrily: "I finally understand that they have been sharpening their swords for so long. It turns out that they have colluded with some Liao generals. Under their cover, they have attacked the pass all the way. My enemies... are not only these Jiannu people, but also these guys who are stingy."

Speaking of this, Emperor Aoki gritted his teeth.

But Zhang Jingyi knew that in history, it should be this time that Huang Taiji did lead tens of thousands of troops to besiege the capital.

It eventually led to Yuan Chonghuan's death.

Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui, the two guarded Ningyuan and Jinzhou. The Jiannu people bypassed this line of defense they were proud of, but they didn't notice it. When they noticed it, everything was too late.

Obviously, some people kept giving away news of the Ming garrison to the Jiannu people. At the same time, there were many military generals who turned a blind eye.

"This is to bring Jiannu into the pass!" Zhang Jingyi said with a cold face and said unceremoniously.

Zhang Jingyi originally thought that he had investigated many old generals from Liaodong, so what happened in history would not happen again, but Zhang Jingyi was still wrong.

And the consequences of this mistake are very terrible.

Because next, there was not only one fierce battle, but also a Beijing defense battle. If Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui in Jinzhou and Ningyuan were as happened in history, they would be shocked after they realized that the Jiannu people entered the pass, and then led their troops to the city of Beijing and fought to the death with the Jiannu people. In the end, the Jiannu people saw that they could not get any advantage, so they led their troops to retreat.

But in fact, when the Jiannu people entered the pass, the people in the capital were easy to say, but the people outside the capital immediately became the targets of the countless Jiannu people entering the pass.

I don’t know how many prefectures and counties will be captured by the Jiannu people on the periphery, how much food will be robbed, and how many women and children will eventually become the spoils of the Jiannu people.

This was almost an unimaginable disaster.

"Your Majesty." Huang Liji said: "Yuan Chonghuan has sent a hurry to report. He has noticed something is wrong. He has personally transferred the troops of Jinzhou and Ningyuan to march in the pass day and night with Man Gui... As long as he guards the capital, the Jiannu people rushed over for a long distance, it is already at the end of their strength. I want to come..."

"Do I still expect to be with the Guanning Army?" Emperor Tianqi was angry and said with a cold sarcastic tone: "If I could expect it, how could the Ningjin defense line, which was originally called solid, be useless now?"

"If I hide in the capital, then... what should I do if hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians outside the capital? Will I give it to the Jiannu people? Yuan Chonghuan, a confused insect, and the generals from Liaodong, should all die!"

Emperor Aoki was furious.

It makes no sense to not be angry when encountering such a group of waste.

Every day, I ask for money and food, and I always want a black hat, but what is the result?

As a result, when something happens, there are mistakes everywhere. God even knows how many people secretly collude with the Jiannu people.

The worst result is that the capital is destroyed. Once it is broken, the country will disappear. This is not a destruction of the country, but a destruction of the world!

Even with the best result, defending the capital city, it turned countless military and civilians outside the city into the target of venting the tens of thousands of Jiannu army. What a terrible thing.

Who dares to count on the court in the future?

Huang Liji was also so arrogant that he didn't dare to speak out, and he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

However, Sun Chengzong was still calm at this time, so he said, "Your Majesty said it is right. You should go to war now. The capital must not be surrounded by the Jiannu people. If you cannot defeat the Jiannu people outside the city, once the Jiannu people clean up the periphery and cut off the connection between the capital, the canal and Ningjin, the consequences will be very serious."

After pausing, he continued: "He has always been the case that the city must not be defended to the death. There must be an elite army out of the city to form a horn with the capital! Only in this way can the Jiannu people be delayed and the Jiannu people are afraid of it, so that they can wait for the soldiers and horses who are serving the kings to fight to the death with the Jiannu people."

Emperor Tianqi nodded, then his eyes glanced at the ministers with a cold sword, and said, "Who can go to fight?"

Zhang Jingyi was about to volunteer.

At this moment, everyone's eyes looked at one person with expectation.

And this person... seemed to be glowing all over and suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.

So, in full view of the crowd, he slowly walked out, and then said in a calm voice: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to war."

As soon as these words were spoken, the officials immediately smiled with relief.

Sure enough... I am worthy of being Zhou Yafu of the time.

Emperor Aoki's eyes were fixed on the person who was talking, and when he looked at the person in front of him, he suddenly had an impression.

It's Hong Chengchou.

At this time, Hong Chengchou seemed to be in the hands of Zhizhu, looking mature and steadfast. He was calm and confident and said: "As the saying goes, "Since you say, raising troops for a thousand days, you can use troops for a while. In the martial arts hall, most of them are scholars. They are loyal to the court and all know the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. Now they have learned a lot of strategies and military tactics, and now they are mostly backbones of the Shenji Camp."

"The Shenji Camp is also full of military commanders. They were originally selected from the original Beijing Camp. Now they are equipped with excellent firearms. Your Majesty... I am grateful to the country, and the country is in danger now. I will take the initiative to volunteer to eliminate the slaves and enemies and teach them that there will be no return."

Emperor Apocalypse: “…”
