Chapter 154

: The storm is about to come and the wind fills the building

Shortly after Sun Zhixie received the news that the Tartars had entered the pass, Zhang Zhun also received a similar message.

On that day, Zhang Zhun was discussing production planning with the craftsmen in the craftsman workshop. The focus of the discussion was mainly to expand the scale of production. Based on the news from all aspects, Zhang Zhun could basically conclude that the Tartars on Tianheng Island would definitely launch an attack on Fushan City in the near future. The guards are not equipped with a sufficient number of Tiger Ben guns. If the Tartars come, some soldiers can only fight with the Tartars.

To be honest, Zhang Zhun is indeed not confident about hand-to-hand combat. If the guards fight with the Tartars, it will not be said whether they will be defeated. Even if they barely win, the casualties will be very large. Compared with those of the Tartars who have been trained for less than half a year, their combat effectiveness is not at the same level at all, and courage cannot completely replace combat skills. It is definitely not a calm behavior of a commander who has been trained for less than half a year. Even if Zhang Zhun makes up his mind to exchange five lives for a Tartar, he may not be able to do it.

However, the production capacity of the craftsmen has reached its limit. The craftsmen have been working overnight. The only thing Zhang Zhun can expect now is that the Tartars will arrive slowly. If the Tartars arrive one day, the number of Tiger Ben guns can be increased by twenty. If the Tartars arrive ten days later, the number of Tiger Ben guns can be increased by two hundred. As long as it is delayed until the end of the month, he will not have to worry about the Tartars' attack.

Suddenly, outside the craftsman's workshop, the nervous screams came from the rat.

"grown ups!"

"What happened!"

"The Tartars are here!"

Zhang Zhun was slightly stunned, then stood up suddenly.

The Tartars arrived so soon?

It came so fast!

I saw the mouse running in in a hurry, his lips were a little gray. When I saw Zhang Zhun's face, I shouted loudly: "Sir, it's amazing, it's amazing, the Tartars are here! The Tartars are here!"

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "Calm down, why are you panic? I am here! What are you afraid of? Where are the Tartars?"

The mouse swallowed hard and said with difficulty: "On the front line of Xuanda!"

Zhang Zhun really wants to kick him!

The Tartars are in Xuanfu, why are you panic?

When you yell, others thought that it was the Tartars from Tianheng Island who had been killed in Fushan City!

However, when Zhang Zhun suddenly realized that even though the Tartars were in Xuanfu, everyone was also frightened. The reason was very simple. There were many veterans in Shandong who came back by chance from the Liaodong front line, and many refugees who escaped from the Liaodong area. They were all very impressed by the brutality of the Tartars and the combat effectiveness of the Tartar cavalry. This deep impression is sometimes not a good thing.

Well, to put it bluntly, it is a deep sense of fear. The confrontation between the Ming army and the Tartars was always at a disadvantage. Every time the Ming army fought, many people would die, but not many of the Tartars died. This would cause them great psychological pressure, as if the Tartars were invincible. This psychology is a bit similar to the Korean-phobic phenomenon of later male pigs. Although they hated the other party to die, they always failed every time they fought. The more they failed, the more serious the fear was, and they formed a vicious cycle.

In the second year of Chongzhen, the Tartars actually bypassed the Jinning front, came from the Korqin grassland, crossed the Great Wall, headed south, plundered Zhili, and besieged the capital. For a moment, the world was shaken. Many people felt that the Tartars were becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. After the civil unrest in Shaanxi broke out, the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, with Jianlu outside and civil unrest inside. Many people felt that the world might have to change its masters. Therefore, as long as you hear the Tartars entering the Frontier, everyone's first reaction was that it was over, and the country was over.

“Sit down.”

"Speak slowly."

Zhang Zhun said to the mouse.

The mouse sat down quickly and reported in detail the relevant information about the Tartars entering the subway.

The Tartars suddenly broke into Datong and Xuanfu on the seventh day of the seventh month. I don’t know how many Tartars’ specific troops were, and even whether Huang Taiji was the leader of the team was Huang Taiji himself. Because no one dared to investigate in person. The area controlled by the Mongols had completely defected to the Tartars, and the Ming army’s eyeliner could not survive in the prairie. After the Tartars entered the pass, the Ming army along the way heard that the Tartars were coming, and they closed their doors and hid in the town, and they didn’t even dare to look out their heads, for fear of attracting the Tartars’ attention.

The last time the Tartars entered the Frontier, at least they encountered fierce resistance from General Zhao Shujiao in Zunhua, and were blocked for two days. However, this time, the Tartars were not blocked by anyone, and no matter where they went, they were like entering a no-man. The Ming army along the way fought the same idea: the Tartars came to plunder, and after they had enough, they would naturally leave. If they went out to make the first bird at this time, they would definitely die miserably. Anyway, according to comprehensive information from multiple aspects, the Tartars entered the Frontier this time, and the momentum was stronger than the second year of Chongzhen. In other words, the Tartars' troops might have about 30,000.

What the mouse received was indeterminate news. It was obtained from the channels of Zhao Laoba. Because the Tartars entered the barriers, the woman named Sun Weina, who was on the throne of Zhao Laoba, was trapped in the Luzhou area and could not return to Shandong. It was precisely because of the news she received from her that it was relatively fast and accurate. Otherwise, according to rumors outside, the Tartars had already conquered the capital.

"Continue to inquire!"

"See the official news!"

Zhang Zhun calmly ordered the mouse.

The mouse agreed to go.

Zhang Zhun rubbed his hands hard and slowly let out a sigh of relief.

In July of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Tatars entered the Frontier for the second time, and historical facts really happened. According to the information Zhang Zhun learned from later generations, the Tartars entered the Frontier this time and would return with a full load. The population plundered alone had more than 200,000, and other means of production were counted. These people would all become slaves of the Tartars. The young and strong among them would soon be incorporated into the "Han Army Flag" of Kong Youde and others and passively become traitors. In the subsequent battle, these Han Army Flags would play an important role. At the same time, due to the looting of a large amount of materials, the Tartars' strength would be further enhanced.

Through this entry into the Straits, the Mongolian tribes also gained a lot of benefits and once again strengthened their alliance with the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. The Mongolians who originally defected to the Qing Dynasty were all around the Korqin Grassland. Now, even the Mongols in the western part of the Great Grassland, including the descendants of Lin Dankhan, are preparing to completely defect to the Later Jin Dynasty. This will make the Qing Dynasty's strength even stronger.

In fact, in terms of absolute strength, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Eight Banners may not be below the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were only tens of thousands, and the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Eight Banners had tens of thousands. The two combined together exceeded 100,000. What’s more serious is that the Tartars could easily pass through the Korqin grassland, bypass the Shanhaiguan defense line, and appear behind the Ming army. Strategically, the Ming army was completely at a disadvantage from this time.

There is also the most fatal point. The Tatars confirmed again through the second entry into the subway that the Ming army in the mainland was really vulnerable. Every time they entered the subway, they could easily return with a full load. Therefore, after they returned, they would soon make a comeback. If they remember correctly, in two years, the Tartars would enter the subway for the third time. Then the fourth and fifth times. The Tartars' areas of the subway would go deeper and deeper each time, at the farthest time, or even come to Shandong. By the sixth entry into the subway, they would control Beijing and officially announce the occupation of the Central Plains.

Faced with the second entry of the Tartars into the Frontier and the reaction of the Ming army, Zhang Zhun had to sigh slightly. The Ming army, which was hundreds of thousands, was bullied by tens of thousands of enemies, was unprecedented. The Eight Banners of Manchu, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of Han Army, Huang Taiji truly consolidated the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. As long as there is no major change, the strength of the Tartars will continue to grow. The Ming army no longer has the power to turn the world back. It seems that if he no longer works hard, it will be difficult to change the course of history!

Official news is always late.

It was another three days later that the mouse got the imperial edict to serve the king.

The edict says:

I have not accepted loyal advice, which has caused the speech to be blocked, flattery is heard more and more, and the corrupt officials are proud of the tyrants, and the wealth of the people is achieved. The taxes are exhausted, and the power of the garrison and the army is trapped. Doing too much is useless, and extravagance is a trend. God punishes the superiors but I do not understand, and people complain about it but I do not know it. Now I am reciting it, but I regret it. How can I regret it? Now I have issued an edict to blame myself, work hard to govern, and reform the bad government, so that God will return, and people will be happy.

However, the chaos at this time will bring disaster to the people of the country. I hope the public will fight against it! I am worried all night long and night, and I am afraid that the world will be in danger. You are the loyalty of the country, and you should think about the difficulties of Taizu starting a business, and join forces with the martyrs who are both loyal and righteous, destroy the treacherous party, and safeguard our country!

Looking at the army that serves the kings in all directions, and proclaim the strategy of defending the enemy from all sides, and do not let my wishes! Just in this critical autumn of survival and destruction, and in the turmoil of mountains and rivers, I hope that the military and civilians of the whole country will work hard to serve the country, and the vassal kings in the world will lead their troops to defend the kings and defend the border. The people with extraordinary talents can be promoted and used in extraordinary ways. Those with outstanding talents will treat them with generals!

Anyone who is a man from the Ming Dynasty, no matter aristocratic and civilian, who is willing to join the army and seek rebellion, can go to the military office to register. If the imperial heir wants to lead the army, he can hand in the imperial study. The vassal kings can send troops on their own, and the camps can be established by themselves. If this battle to support the king, if you win, you will sacrifice yourself to join the army, and you will be the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and you will be rewarded and promoted, and your wife and children will be promoted.

...

"That would be great if it was true."

Zhang Zhun gently put down the edict and muttered to himself thoughtfully.

I don’t know who drafted this edict, and there were too many frauds. I thought that this could deceive the people of the world, but the result was that the court’s credit was overdrawn again. In fact, the second year of Chongzhen’s responsibility for the king had already hurt the hearts of local officials. Even a loyal and kind person like Qin Liangyu could only sigh silently. Whether this edict would be effective will be made.

First of all, it is absolutely impossible for a vassal king to raise an army to defend the king. The emperor's guard against the vassal kings was basically on the same level as the Tartars. After all, no emperor was willing to learn from the Yan King of that year. Even though there were statements such as the vassal kings raising an army to defend the king, the Jinyiwei would definitely see all the vassal kings more closely. If you want to raise an army, you dream! I believe that those vassal kings also know themselves and will not cause this bad intention.

Secondly, local officials must think about it. If you are not careful, they will repeat the mistakes of Shanxi Geng Ruqi and Shanxi General Zhang Honggong. If the heroes fail to do it, they will lose their lives or throw them into the hands of their own people. There is no place to complain even if there is any injustice! Speaking of which, this Geng Geng is a famous loyal minister in the Tianqi Dynasty. He was sentenced to death for offending Wei Zhongxian. Later, because Chongzhen succeeded to the throne and was relieved, he was very grateful to Chongzhen, so he was very active in joining the capital. Almost the day he received the edict, he led his troops to set off.

However, unexpectedly, after entering the suburbs of Beijing, Shanxi reinforcements were first arranged to station in Tongzhou, Jingdong on the first day. When they arrived in Tongzhou the next day, they were ordered to guard Changping in northern Beijing. They had just arrived in Changping without waiting for a breath, and were ordered to be transferred to Liangxiang in southern Beijing. They marched more than 100 miles a day, and inexplicably dragged a new force that wanted to make meritorious people and horses, and at the same time they did not allocate any supplies. It turned out that the Ministry of War did not prepare food and supplies for the army to support the king.

The tired and hungry Shanxi reinforcements finally couldn't bear it anymore and looted the suburbs of Beijing, which was even more harmful than the Later Jin army. Emperor Chongzhen was furious and imprisoned all Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong. Shanxi reinforcements rushed over, but ended up like this, which was naturally heartbreaking. With such a lesson in mind, which local officials would actively go to Beijing to serve the king? Even if they clicked the name, they would probably delay for a while.

Again, local people will not easily sign up for the army. Those who are not afraid of death will all join the rebel army in Shaanxi. They can still eat enough and wear warm clothes in the rebel army. When they join the Ming army, God knows whether they can have a full meal? They can't even eat enough. Who is willing to work hard for the court? And are they willing to fight with the landlords and bureaucratic class who hold a lot of money and food? It is even more impossible.

Therefore, this edict of responsibly to the king is purely a joke, similar to the policies to regulate housing prices in later generations.

When the imperial court reached this point, it was obviously too late to be sick and hopeless.

In the next two days, more news came one after another.

There were too many rumors to distinguish, so Zhang Zhun tried hard to find some official news.

For the second entry of the Tartars into the Serbia, the official information is recorded as follows:

On the seventh day of Jiaxu on the seventh day of Xinmao, the enemy entered Zhangjiakou in Datong. On the eighth day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first month of the first month of the first month of the first month of the first month of the first month of the first month of the first month of the first month of the second month of the first month of the second month of the first month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the army, the magistrate Yan Shengqian died (I read the eight trigrams, where is the king Dou at this time?). The edict did not mention the number of the Tartars and the losses of the Ming army themselves.

Due to the lack of specific information from the Tartars, everyone spread rumors, resulting in the astonishing number of Tartars' troops reaching an astonishing 500,000. There were also 500,000 Mongolian cavalry! The 500,000 Tartar cavalry led 500,000 Mongolian cavalry to enter the barriers together. What's the point? For a moment, the entire Northern Zhili and Shanxi were in a panic, and everyone was frightened. In order to avoid the Tartars' military front, people kept dragging their families to escape to the south.

Among them, many people fled to the ground in Shandong. Because there were Tartars in the north and there were also chaos in the south. Many people were afraid of the Tartars and the rebels in Shaanxi. Henan and Shaanxi dare not go, so they could only flee to Shandong. Even Jinan Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture in Shandong, it was said that the Tartars were going to kill Shandong to steal the population, resulting in a large number of people fleeing to Qingzhou Prefecture to take refuge. Some people even fled to Laizhou Prefecture.

"What a half million!"

"At least 50,000!"

Zhang Zhun scoffed at the number of Tartar troops mentioned in the intelligence.

If the Tatar cavalry had 500,000, they could enter directly from Shanhaiguan. They still needed to detour the Korqin grassland? The Ming Dynasty army really didn’t know what they were doing! The Ming army in Shanxi, Xuanfu and Datong towns had a total of at least 150,000, which was three times better than the Tatars. The three camps of the capital had a total of 100,000 people. The total number of troops in Liaodong was more than 200,000. So many troops were rushed by the Tatars, and they came and went freely, robbed supplies and population, which was really a pile of waste!

This is a shame to the country!

This is a national shame!

This is a shame to history!

As long as you are a bloody man, no one can stand such shame!

...

Tianheng Island.

Shublu was also feeling a little anxious.

Shublu also received the news that the cavalry of the Great Jin Kingdom entered the south of the Great Wall from the north. It was because of the news that he was anxious. If it weren't for Huang Taiji, if it weren't for Jirgalang, he would definitely be in the army now, and he would definitely be the vanguard of the army. He would need wealth, money, and women.

Now, he is trapped on this small Tianheng Island, as if he was a dragon wandering in shallow water and a shrimp play, and a tiger falling in the flat sun and being bullied by a dog. He has all his abilities, but he has no chance to play. In any case, Shandong is still a Han people. Without the support of a powerful tribe, his actions cannot be too big. Otherwise, he would have been seeking death. Shublu looks reckless, but he is not a reckless man without a brain.

Shublu was actually very interested in Sun Zhixie's proposal. The most popular person in the Great Jin Dynasty was someone like Sun Zhixie. Judging from Sun Zhixie's actions, it is very likely that he would become the second model Wencheng. As long as he holds him firmly in his hands and uses it, he is not afraid that he will not be able to grow stronger. Tianheng Island is really too small, and he has to find a larger place to attract more tribe members. In Liaodong, there are actually quite a lot of people who are dissatisfied with Huang Taiji. As long as they have the opportunity, they don't mind looking for a place to live.

The key is that you must choose the right place to settle down.

At present, Fushan City is very good!

Last time, Nongfu and others died unfortunately on Fushan City, Shublu hated Fushan City to the core, but the opportunity was not yet ripe at that time, and he did not take revenge. Now, the opportunity has come, and he swears that he must kill the person who killed Liufu with the most cruel and cruel method. What is Lingchi? In this world, there are more severe punishments than Lingchi.

The person named Zhang Zhun must let him taste the more terrifying pain than Lingchi first!

Dare to go against the Great Jin Kingdom? It depends on how you die!

"Call Mukata!"

Shublu shouted viciously.

He wanted to razed Fushan City to the ground so that everyone could see that Shublu was definitely not a good person to eat!
Chapter completed!
