Chapter 65 Adjustment

Now the court has already provoked people's anger and resentment. According to rumors, there is even news that many people have scolded the court, saying that he is a faint king, saying that the ministers in the court are some treacherous sycophants. They can't wait for Xiaotian to rush into the capital and kill all these treacherous sy ministers.

Chongzhen was more sad to hear this news than anything else. He recalled what he had done for more than ten years after he ascended the throne and always thought that he had been diligent in the government all day and had never enjoyed too much fun of becoming an emperor. He got up early every morning to deal with government affairs, but why is the situation in the world still As the situation is getting worse, the smoke is rising everywhere, and people everywhere are not living?

Is he really wrong? Chongzhen was very angry when he thought of this. He still doesn't think he is wrong. He has done everything he can and should do. Even if it is wrong, it is the fault of those ministers! It's Yuan Chonghuan, Zhou Yanru, Wen Ciren, Yang Sichang... Their fault!

If it weren't for them, how could Daming be so good now? How can Yu Xiaotian lead the troops to attack the capital directly?

Now he can also see that Daming may be finished! Although there are still tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the capital, and their strength is even more than that of the family army, these officers and soldiers are not enough to hold. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers are huddledled in the Beijing division, and dare not stretch their heads and claws like turtles. No one dares to go out of the city to fight to the death.

Even today, he heard that in the area of Deshengmen, Xizhimen and Fuchengmen, there were many fugitive soldiers last night. Some officers and soldiers guarding those places wrapped themselves in soft things at night, went down the city and escaped from the capital. He even heard that on the side of Xibinmen that night, the general received a The huge bribes of some rich people in the capital secretly opened the west door at night and released some rich people to escape from the capital.

How could Daming get to such a point? The officers and soldiers were unbearable to this extent. At this time, the rich people in the city obviously lost confidence in the Ming court. They would rather drag their families to pay heavy bribes than abandoning here and escape from the capital.

Can't you really stop the family from attacking the city this time? The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He quickly sent his personal attendant to Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen to inquire about the situation there.

Although he handed over the defense in the east of the city this time, and in his opinion, Gao Qiqian is also a well-known soldier, which is more appropriate than ordinary people, but now he has not heard any good news from Gao Qiqian for two consecutive days, and the eunuch in the palace told him that Chaoyangmen and Dong The war in the area of Zhimen was fierce. Gao Qiqian was fighting against the enemy in Chaoyangmen, but the battle was not smooth.

It was rumored that the officers and soldiers guarding the Chaoyangmen area had suffered heavy losses in the past two days. The artillery fire outside the city was extremely sharp, and the officers and soldiers were unable to fight, but there was no one to verify this matter. Chongzhen was really worried, so he decided to send someone to investigate.

As a result, shortly after dark, the eunuch sent to inquire about the news hurried back to the palace and told Chongzhen that Gao Qiqian was still sitting in Chaoyangmen. Today, Yu's army attacked the city several times. Under his desperate resistance, he led the army to repel the attack of the family army and killed thousands of rebels.

However, the rebels' artillery fire is sharp, and the casualties of the defenders are also very large. In order to mobilize morale, he can give him some more silver as a reward, boost morale, and fight with the rebels again tomorrow.

At this time, Chongzhen couldn't take care of so much. He quickly ordered the household department to find a way to raise some more silver for Gao Qiqian, and quickly send it to the Chaoyang Gate area and give it to Gao Qiqian for call.

But the household department has been crying for a long time, saying that the household department is now clear in the warehouse and can run away from the mouse! Now I can't get much money to say anything, which can be used as a bounty for Gao Qiqian.

Chongzhen was very angry and thought that the Ministry of Household was still keeping money at this time. When was it? If the rebels are allowed to attack the city and leave so much money under the burning of jade, is it necessary to leave it to the rebels?

However, the household department insisted that there was no money. Chongzhen had no choice but to issue an order to allocate 20,000 taels of silver to urgently send Chaoyangmen as a reward.

Anyway, the truth is irreparable now, and it is useless to regret it. It seems that Yu Xiaotian will not give up if he does not attack the capital. Now even if he admits his mistake, I'm afraid it can't be recovered. What's more, he is the emperor. How can he admit his mistake to a traitor like Yu Xiaotian?

So he can only grit his teeth and persist. Let's see if Gao Qiqian can turn the tide this time and defend Chaoyangmen and Dongzhimen. As long as he persists, it won't take too long. A month will always be fine!

As long as you can persist for half a month, the soldiers and horses of Yan Jizu in Shandong will be able to reach the king of the capital, and the reinforcements sent by Wu Xi of Shanxi will also arrive at the capital to help.

In this case, Yu Xiaotian must have been able to attack for a long time, and he will definitely run out of food. In the end, he will have to return to Fujian. Even if he does not return to Fujian and go south into Shandong and Hebei, it is better than staying in Beijing.

As long as he is given a certain amount of time to breathe, Daming still has the strength to mobilize more soldiers and slowly destroy them, and Daming will still be saved.

The premise is that Gao Qiqian must defend Chaoyangmen, Dongzhimen and other places, and the Yu family army cannot be allowed to attack the capital city. If the rebels have invaded the capital before all the reinforcements come, then everything will be over. If the capital division is broken, it means that Daming has been completely subverted. What if he can escape from the capital? Question mark Is it possible to follow the example of Song Gaozong and Zhao Gu in those years and run to the south to establish the capital again?

Chongzhen really didn't dare to think about it, so he simply stopped questioning about what would happen next. For the first time, he returned to the bedroom early to accompany Empress Zhou, who had been with him for many years.

But what everyone didn't expect was that on that night, a big event happened in Beijing, and the cause of the big event was still due to high diving.

Gaoqi dives and sits in Chaoyangmen. In the past two days, the soldiers under his command will suffer heavy casualties and have no fighting spirit. Gao Qiqian has realized that he can no longer rely on these generals anymore. He must dispatch reinforcements to find a tiger general, and if he is a tiger general who can fight well.

However, he pulled over the generals at hand, but did not find such a general who could take on the responsibility and guard the Chaoyang Gate for him.

He knows very well that if Yu Jiajun launches another attack after dawn, he will definitely not be able to hold on here. If he doesn't find a big future that can stabilize the army's heart at this time, then everything will be completely over!

After thinking about it, he sent someone to discuss with Cao Huachun that night and asked Cao Huachun to mobilize some officers and soldiers that night, send strange soldiers from the two gates of Andingmen and You'anmen, attack Chen Bing in the east of the city, and use the cover of the night to carry out a raid on the rebels.

In this way, even if there are not many thieves, they can also deter the thief, so that they have to estimate the safety of the flank and can't go all out to attack Chaoyangmen.

This method of high diving is actually a pretty good method, but the premise is that someone is willing to go out of the city to do this.

Now the generals of the three battalions of Beijing are all panicked. When they were recruited by Cao Huachun to discuss this matter, these military generals shook their heads like rattle drums one by one and refused to order them to go out of the city to attack the military camp.

Cao Huachun also learned about the dangerous situation on the other side of Chaoyangmen through the eunuch at this time. Originally, he was not interested in Gao Qiqian and did not want to help Gao Qiqian, but now he heard that the Chaoyangmen war was dangerous. Once Chaoyangmen was broken, the egg of Jingshi would be completely smashed.

Considering that there is no perfect egg under the nest, everyone will follow the bad luck at that time. Cao Huachun can only help Gao Qiqian, so he recruited the generals under his jurisdiction to discuss this matter and see if anyone is willing to take the order to fight. However, as a result, these military generals are all determined not to accept this order, and no one is willing to take over this. A hot taro.

What are you kidding? Yu Jiajun even beat Jiannu and let them lead a group of old soldiers to steal the camp? What's the difference between this and dying? If you take the order to take the troops out, it will be like suicide. After going out, it must be a matter of meat buns beating dogs.

They have a big business. How can they be interested in doing this? At the beginning of the division of labor, it was very clear that these people guarded the west of the city and hidged the east of the city. Now they can't stand it and ask them to go out to die. They can't do anything about this.

Cao Huachun said bitterly for a long time, but he did not move any military general to take over this job, and now he still has to count on these soldiers to guard the west gates of the city, and he can't force them too tightly. These guys are not good birds. If they are pressed, he may not be able to do anything, and he will simply open the city. Offered.

So Cao Huachun had to send someone to reply to Gao Qiqian, saying all kinds of difficulties, saying that he couldn't help, and let Gao Qiqian figure it out again.

After listening, he scolded Cao Huachun for falling into the well at this time to see his joke, but there was nothing he could do but to find another way.

As a result, his heart suddenly rose and his heart was moved. Yang Guozhu, who was the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, can be said to be a general. He once fought with Lu Xiangsheng and Jiannu, and it was said that he fought well and quite powerfully.

But somehow, when Yang Guozhu obeyed Chen Xinjia's orders, the whole army collapsed under the battle of Jinghai County and fled to Bazhou.

But anyway, when Chen Xinjia's troops collapsed, only Yang Guozhu's troops finally retreated almost all over and did not lose much. Yang Guozhu was also a general among the lame.
