Chapter 131 Borrowing Demonstration
In fact, the matter of peace is not necessarily what Chongzhen thought of. After the slave chieftain Taiji ascended the throne, he had sent envoys many times to try to contact Daming and talk about peace.
The request put forward by Huang Taiji is to sit on an equal footing with Daming in Guanwai. The areas outside Shanhaiguan are all owned by the Qing Dynasty. The two countries are divided into territory and ruled by the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty imitated the Northern Song Dynasty's treatment of the Liao Dynasty, and lost the annual coins to the Qing Dynasty, and the two sides can strike.
But because the Ming Dynasty and the opposition are very resistant to the peace with the construction of slaves, no one dares to be the first bird and the exposed raft to propose the matter of peace with the construction slaves. They are afraid that they will be pointed out by thousands of people and end up with a discredited in the future. In addition, the Ming people have an innate contempt for the construction of the slaves, believing that It is impossible to make peace with them. In the past, they were determined that sooner or later, they would be able to deal with the construction of slaves. However, in recent years, the strength of the construction of slaves has become stronger and stronger, and they have been taking an offensive against the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasty has been declining day by day, and the battle with the construction of the slaves has been repeatedly defeated, coupled with the domestic transformation of people. The army rose up in four, and the Ming Dynasty pressed the gourd and floated up, which was even more financially overstretched, so Chongzhen considered making peace with the slaves.
Although Chongzhen had the idea of making peace with Jiannu for a long time, he did not dare to put forward it clearly for fear of destroying his so-called reputation as Mingjun. Therefore, last year was only a secret instruction for Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian to secretly negotiate peace with Jiannu, but later, he didn't know what link made a mistake and left. With the news, the government and the opposition were in an uproar. Yang Sichang didn't want to take the blame for losing power and humiliating the country, so this matter was delayed, and he was busy with the main soldiers, so the matter of peace was over.
Now Yang Sichang has died in Suizhou. Gao Qiqian's eunuch was also captured by Xing Tianjun, surrendered to Xing Tianjun, and betrayed a lot of his privacy. Thinking of this incident, Chongzhen was not angry. When he looked at the eunuchs around him, he also began to have a sense of doubt about them.
For Chongzhen, there is no doubt that there is a great attraction now. If he can negotiate with Jiannu, the pressure on the north will be reduced. In this way, he can transfer a large number of officers and troops in the north from the north and let them go south to deal with Xing Tianjun. In this way, Daming may still have a chance to solve it. Fall off the enemy of Xing Tianjun.
Once you think of this and think about the huge benefits that may bring, the idea can't help but start to expand rapidly in Chongzhen's mind, but on the contrary, once this matter is settled, if the government and the opposition hears the news, it is estimated that there will be an uproar again. Chongzhen has The problem is to cherish his reputation. Although he has made the governance of the country into the virtue at present, he still insists that he is a wise king. Although he has no choice but to delay the army, he will still be scolded by the people of the government and the opposition.
So he accelerated the speed of paing back and forth in the hall. Looking at the servants and maids of honor who served in the hall were a little dazzled, he suddenly stopped, showing a resolute look on his face, and loudly issued a decree, "Quickly invite Chen Xinjia to enter the palace to see me!" ......”
After hearing the decree, Chen Xinjia hurried to the palace. Chong Zhenping withdrew the maid and maid of honor in the hall and began to discuss with Chen Xinjia secretly.
After Chen Xinjia came out of the palace, he stood at the palace gate and shook his head and smiled bitterly. Now the state affairs are changing. Today, the emperor has finally made up his mind to make peace with Jiannu. Once this matter happens, then Chen Xinjia estimates that he will become the point of thousands of people, but he can't do it. Xing Tianjun is really too fierce at the moment. Well, Huguang is probably hopeless. Once Nan Zhili is occupied by them again, then the Ming Dynasty will be completely over. Chen Xinjia is still aware of this, but he can't find a good way to deal with it for a while. He can only send people to urge Ding Qirui to intensify the suppressing of Xing Tianjun, but he also understands in his heart that even It was to force Ding Qirui to death, and now Ding Qirui has no ability to suppress Xing Tianjun.
Does Yang Sichang have a wrist? How can Ding Qirui be compared with Yang Sichang, but what about Yang Sichang? After taking office, he not only did not destroy Li Chuang, Zhang Xianzhong and Xing Tianjun, but also let Xing Tianjun sit in Henan. Now he is forced to die in Suizhou City by Xing Tianjun. Yang Sichang can't do it. If it were him, he can't do it. Not to mention Ding Qirui, he definitely can't do it.
Nowadays, the emperor is eager to make peace with Jiannu, which can be said to be a helpless move. At present, there are fewer and fewer officers and soldiers available in various places. Even if there are, it is no way to fight head-on against the Xing Tianjun. Looking at the world, I'm afraid that only those who can fight with the Xing Tianjun are the new Shaanxi soldiers under his command and Guan Ningjun, if the soldiers in the north can't be transferred to the south to the Xingtian army in a short period of time, even Sun Chuanting has no idea.
This is all forced by Xing Tianjun! After lamenting, he quickly boarded his sedan chair, stepped on the sedan chair and said, "Go back home quickly! In addition, send someone to invite Ma Shaoyu from the Ministry of War to see me, and also invite Zhu Jizhi, the head of the Ministry of War, to come to the house..."
Two days later, Ma Shaoyu and accompanied by Zhu Jizhi quietly left the capital and went to Guanwai Yizhou. They did not have any contact with local officials along the way, so they quietly left Shanhaiguan...
Looking at the dense Xingtian army outside the city and the banners fluttering in the wind like a forest, Song Yihe had no choice. Under the guard of his family, he personally put on a set of iron armor on his body, hung a sharp sword hanging around his waist, and boarded to the head of the city of Wuchang Mansion.
Unfortunately, at this time, the defenders in the city stood on the wall tremblingly and looked out of the city. They were full of fear, but they did not have the courage to fight to the end.
Song Yihe took the trouble to climb the city wall in person, patrolled all over the city wall, constantly summoned the defenders, cheered them up, and acted as easily as possible. He told them that the reinforcements were rushing up from Nanjing to Wuchangfu against the river. As long as they persisted for a period of time, the reinforcements would arrive. Then they can fight together inside and outside to defeat the thieves.
If you deceive children, it is estimated that it will be okay, but if you want to deceive these generals, it is basically the same as not saying. Now in Wuchang Mansion, everyone knows that Xing Tianjun has beaten Huangzhou and Ezhou a few days ago, and completely cut off the road of Wuchang City's aid from both water and land. This is already It is well known, and the Xing Tianjun has gathered tens of thousands of troops outside the city, and has firmly surrounded Wuchang City. Now they are short of food and salaries. The palace of the king of Chu in the city has food and salary, but it is only given to the new army of the king of Chu. There is no them at all. For this reason, these soldiers and generals have long been angry and dizzy. If it weren't for the fact that there were a large number of people under the king of Chu now, they would even have the heart to attack the king's mansion of Chu, robbed this bastard and pull it down. Everyone broke up, went back to their respective homes, and found their own mothers!
Listening to Song Yihe's words, the generals are obedient on the surface, but in their hearts, they have already begun to scold their mothers. They secretly say that if they work hard, they are definitely bastards. This life is raised by their mother and father. No one pops out of the stone seam. The court does not give food or salary. If you don't have enough to eat, you have to work for them, ah! Don't even think about it. Look at the limelight! If it doesn't work, I will lose the guy and surrender.
Song Yihe didn't know what he was thinking of being a soldier. Looking at the happy promises of these generals, he thought it had mobilized their morale! I feel a little relieved.
As for the new army of the King of Chu, it is also not much better. When the Xing Tianjun began to cross the river, some people have been numb. Most of them are the defeated generals of the Xing Tian Army. Basically, they have seen the strength of the Xing Tian Army. The reason why they joined the new army of the King of Chu is only to find it in a short time. It's just a way to eat. It's better than starving to death in Wuchang Mansion! As for letting them work hard with Xing Tianjun, just joke! No one thinks that this life is too long, and there are really not many people who want to die.
It can't be said that no one wants to fight to the end. There are also a few officers and soldiers and officials in the city who fight to the end, saying that they are the emperor's salary. Now that the thief army is coming to invade, it is time for them to serve the country, especially those rich soldiers who have fled from all over the world, who really want to save Wuchang City. Because their relatives are in the city, and their large amount of wealth is also in the city. Once the city is broken, they will have nothing, so this group of people are probably the most determined.
As for Xiao Tianjian, after the troops crossed the river, he also crossed the river and came outside the city of Wuchang Prefecture. He commanded the soldiers and horses first. On September 12, he took Wuchang County outside Wuchang Prefecture, and pulled more than 200 captured officials and soldiers who tried to resist in the city outside the south gate of Wuchang City. These people were all in Wuchang. The county insisted on resisting and killing and injuring the people of the Xingtian army, and most of the bandits who took advantage of the chaos to harm the people in the city were selected after being captured or surrendered.
For these more than 200 people, Xiao Tianjian was determined to borrow their heads. He immediately ordered that the more than 200 people should be escorted to the two gates in the southeast of Wuchang Mansion, lined up according to them, and then sent knife players up with an order, one by one, regardless of the crying and begging for mercy. Then cut off all the heads of these people.
Hula suddenly rolled over the ground with more than a hundred heads, and the blood in the headless corpse cavity sooed far away. This scene was undoubtedly very shocking. Even some new recruits of the Xingtian Army were scared to shrink their necks, not to mention the defenders in the city. When they saw that the Xingtian Army was so ferocious, they killed them at once. More than 200 people were so scared that there were two wars.
After killing these people, there were loud soldiers in the Xingtian Army. They ran to the city with a big copper horn and shouted, "The defenders in the city heard it! When today's court is cruel and virtuous, when the red thieves of the dynasty are not sympathetic to the suffering of the people, and the government is even more rampant. You can't work hard for it. Our lord has the virtue of a good life. You also have a family and a house. I can't bear to watch you and the city martyrdom. I will give you a day to think about it. Tomorrow, our army will start to attack the city! If someone doesn't know whether to live or die, then this is the end of the game!
That's right! In addition, you can surrender. If someone harms the people in the city, even if you surrender, you will not be allowed to kill! I remember it clearly!"
After shouting so many times, the soldiers turned around and retreated, but the defenders in the city began to come to life.
Although some officers also try to suppress their men, so that they can't think nonsense and be ready to fight to the death, this person's heart is the most difficult thing to control, not what you can control!
(This month's reward is really not good! In a sigh!)
