Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 176: Emperor Taiji's Soldiers Arrive at the Capital City

Wang Qia listened to Chongzhen's furious yelling and cursing, and lowered his head heavily, not daring to refute.

Sweat kept pouring out of his head and fell to the ground along his cheeks.

There was no sound in the whole hall, and everyone lowered their heads heavily, not daring to look up at Chongzhen.

"Retreat!"

Chongzhen looked at the many ministers who were silent in the hall, flicked his sleeves, and left the Golden Luan Hall directly.

"I'm waiting to send you to Your Majesty!"

All the ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.

After Chongzhen disappeared completely, Wang Qia slowly stood up from the ground.

With trembling hands, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The scene just now really frightened him.

……

Zhao Wen rode on the horse, looked at the sky that was about to darken, and said to Zhao Daniu beside him: "Send the order and set up camp in place."

Zhao Daniu clasped his fists at Zhao Wen, and then led a few people towards the rear.

At midnight, Zhao Wen sat in the large tent of the Chinese army, looked at the people sitting below, and said slowly, "Where are we now? How long is it before the capital?"

Song Hu stood up from the chair, looked at Zhao Wen, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, we have already arrived in Yanqing Prefecture. If we go fast, we may reach the capital at noon the day after tomorrow."

Zhao Wen looked at Song Hu, nodded, and then said: "Send the order, starting tomorrow, go all out and make sure to reach the capital the day after tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Everyone in the big tent clasped their fists at Zhao Wen, and then walked out.

Zhao Wen looked at the people leaving, and carefully checked the map behind.

"This time, we must keep the main force of Huang Taiji. Even if we can't wipe out all of them, we must make Jiannu hurt!"

Zhao Wen slapped the map with a slap, his eyes were full of light.

When the sun rose from the horizon, a team slowly appeared from the horizon.

This team is none other than Huang Taiji's people.

Along the way, although there were Ming soldiers who did not accept the night to investigate, they could not find out the exact traces of Jiannu at all.

When the Ming army Yebushou just approached, Jiannu's probing horses would strangle them with all their strength.

With the Jiannu army formation as the center, the range of [-] miles was covered by the Jiannu patrol horse.

Huang Taiji stepped out of the carriage and rode on a war horse.

Looking at the towering and majestic capital in front of him, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "What a beautiful city, this capital is definitely going to be captured by the Khan. What right does that yellow-mouthed kid in Chongzhen have to enjoy Shenzhou?"

"Da Khan is right. Only heroes like Da Khan can sit in this world of flowers and flowers in China. The Chongzhen child is just a kid who just won the crown. What ability does he have to enjoy the world?" Fan Wencheng sat together The war horse followed by Huang Taiji's side, saying extremely flatteringly.

"Haha, what a slave, you just know how to talk." Huang Taiji laughed loudly, then turned his head, looked at Jierhalang, and said slowly: "Send the order, let the whole army speed up, and must be in one After hours, the soldiers will come to the capital city."

Jierhalang cupped his hands at Huang Taiji and said in a deep voice, "Cha!"

On the city wall of the capital, a Ming army saw a cloud of smoke suddenly rising into the sky, coming towards this side.

He hurriedly boarded the watchtower and looked over there.

Because the Ming army did not receive accurate information at night, they did not know the exact location of Jiannu.

"Quick, quick, Jianu is here, Jianu is here. Hurry up and ring the alarm bell, hurry up and ring the alarm bell." After seeing Jiannu clearly, the soldier guarding the city hurriedly shouted at the defenders below.

Hearing this, the defenders hurried to the big bronze bell on the top of the city tower, picked up the hammer that struck the bell, and slammed it fiercely towards the bronze bell.

"Dangdangdang!!!"

The bell rang from the top of the city and headed towards the city.

For a moment, all the defenders who heard the bell became nervous.

Zhang Zhiji, who was rectifying the troops on another section of the city wall, heard the bell and hurriedly sent several soldiers to investigate.

After a while, the soldiers who went to investigate ran back in a panic.

"Grandpa, it's Jiannu. Jianu is here. It looks like there are 10,000+ people densely packed."

When Zhang Zhiji heard it, his face was full of horror, "What? Can you see clearly? It is indeed 10,000+ people?"

"Back to the lord, the young one dare not deceive the lord, he is indeed a slave of 10,000+ people, if the young one dares to deceive the lord, the young one is willing to practice military law." The soldier knelt on the ground and said loudly.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiji hurriedly led the soldiers towards the city wall where the bell sounded.

As soon as they reached the city wall, they saw the defenders on the top of the city in chaos.

"Where's Wang Yiyuan? Where are the others?" Zhang Zhiji looked at the panicked defenders and sternly cursed.

"Go back to the lord, Mr. Wang Qian seems to have gone home."

A general stood up and looked at Zhang Zhiji in panic.

"Go home? Go back to which family? Jianu is now at the gate of the city, and he still has the mind to go home? I think he's going to end his career." Zhang Zhiji's face was full of anger, "Come here, give me I tied Wang Yiyuan out of the house, took him to the city wall, and hung it on the flagpole for me, and I want to see who else dares to neglect his duties at this time."

Zhang Zhiji's cold eyes swept across the crowd on the top of the wall, and he shouted in a cold tone.

"Where is Li Xiang?"

"The end is here!"

A burly man in armor stepped out from behind Zhang Zhiji.

"You will take over this section of the city wall now. I will tie up all these messy soldiers and beat them with thirty army sticks. Now that the enemy is in front of us, and they don't want to defend the city, they will all be beaten severely by me."

As soon as Zhang Zhiji finished speaking, Li Xiang led more than 100 strong soldiers towards the soldiers in front.

"Keep an eye on the slaves outside the city, and report to me immediately if there is any situation."

Zhang Zhiji glanced at Li Xiang, then looked out of the city.

Sure enough, the densely packed Jiannu outside the city came towards the capital like locusts covering the sky.

Zhang Zhiji's face was solemn, and he rushed down the city wall with his personal guards.

"Boom!"

The horseshoes beat on the bluestone road in the street and headed towards the imperial palace.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Zhiji appeared in the warm pavilion in full armor.

"Your Majesty, the Jiannu army is already approaching the city, probably around 15."

Standing in the center of the warm pavilion, Zhang Zhiji saluted Chongzhen who was correcting the memorial, and then said in a deep voice.

When Chongzhen heard the words, the hand holding the writing brush kept shaking.

"What did you say? Jiannu has an army of 15? Are you sure?"

Chongzhen suddenly stood up from the chair, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Zhiji in horror.

Zhang Zhiji looked at the horrified Chongzhen, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, according to visual estimation, it should be around 15. Now, Jiannu soldiers and horses are less than ten miles away from the capital. I am afraid that Jiannu will attack the city tomorrow."

Chongzhen slumped on the chair directly, rubbing his temples with both hands.

"Hurry up, hurry up, quickly recruit six ministers, and the cabinet elders will come here."

Chongzhen pointed to Wang Chengen beside him, and said in panic.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and pull everyone in the Beijing camp up to the city wall, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities also pull up to me."

Chongzhen pointed to Zhang Zhiji and said eagerly.

Zhang Zhiji made a big salute to Chongzhen, and then walked outside with his hands.

A quarter of an hour later, the six ministers and the elders of the cabinet rushed to the warm pavilion.

"Military Department, where is the Guan Ning Army? Why haven't they come yet?"

As soon as Chongzhen saw Wang Qia walking in, he asked hurriedly before Wang Qia saluted.

Wang Qia hurriedly saluted and replied: "Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ning Army has already moved from Yongping Mansion, and it is less than [-] miles away from the capital."

"What? Thirty miles? What are you doing to eat? Jiannu has already arrived at the capital, what did the Guan Ning army do? There are still thirty miles?

Wang, I don't care what method you use, I must meet Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ningjun today.Otherwise, you can write a book and beg for bones.

At the same time, immediately issued the order of the king of soldiers and horses in the world. "

Chongzhen looked at Wang Qia and cursed directly.

Chongzhen originally didn't want to issue the order of the king of soldiers and horses in the world, but now it is impossible to do so.

Originally, he thought that even if Xuanzhen, Datong and Guanning Army could not defeat Jiannu, at least they could prevent Jiannu soldiers from approaching the capital.

But now, Jiannu has already approached the city, and there are no soldiers and horses in these military towns. It is impossible for Chongzhen not to go to work and Wang Ling.

……

When Jiannu was about to come outside the capital, Huang Taiji stationed his troops at Chaoyangmen and Guangqumen on the east side of the city wall, and five miles away from Xizhimen on the west side.

Huang Taiji pointed at the extremely busy Ming army defenders on the city wall, and said sarcastically: "Ming dogs are not as good as each generation now, and now we have all hit the foot of their capital, and they only dare to hide in the capital. Dare to come out. Haha, it seems that the world is really going to fall into the hands of my Eight Banners athletes."

"Khan, Minggou is no longer as good as before. We might be able to take down the capital directly this time." Ji Erhalang followed behind Huang Taiji, looking at the walls of the capital in front of him, and said excitedly.

Being able to hit the capital city was something I never dared to think about before.

When Nurhachi was still there, he was wandering around the area of ​​Liaodong when he was dying. I really didn't expect that in less than a few years, he could hit the capital.

"Khan, all of this was achieved under your shrewd and martial leadership. I believe that as long as there is Khan, it will not be difficult to conquer the Ming Kingdom." Fan Wencheng had a flattering look on his face. Without panting, he patted Huang Taiji's flattery.

"Hehe, you sound right!" Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng with a difficult smile on his face.

"Pass down the order to camp in place. At the same time, order Mangurtai's Zhenglan Banner and Amin's Xianglan Banner to attack in all directions with the capital as the center. We must break through more in the shortest possible time. City, you must loot all the people here. These people are our slaves. Minggou is good at farming. Get them to Liaodong to farm for us. By the way, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled don’t want , just kill it. We only want to be young and strong!"

Huang Taiji said calmly, as if those old and weak were just a series of cold numbers in his eyes.

"According to the order!"

Jierhalang cupped his hands at Huang Taiji, and then walked towards the rear.

When it was completely dark, Yuan Chonghuan led Guan Ningjun to arrive late.

Because there were slaves stationed on the east and west sides of the capital, Yuan Chonghuan had to station his troops at Deshengmen and Andingmen in the north.

The night is getting darker, and this night is a cloudy sky, the moon and stars in the sky are covered by dark clouds, and the entire sky and the earth can't be seen.

Yuan Chonghuan sat in the big tent of the Chinese army. He looked at Zu Dashou and the others, and said in a deep voice, "I want to enter the capital, so you stay here and guard it. I will be back tomorrow."

"My lord, is it okay for you to enter the capital at this time? Jiannu is less than ten miles away from us. What should we do if we meet Jiannu?"

Zu Dashou looked at Yuan Chonghuan worriedly, and said slowly.

"Haha, you underestimate me, don't you? Back in Ningyuan City, I blocked the [-]-strong army of the slave chief Nurhachi with only a few thousand men. To be honest, I really didn't pay attention to today's battle."

Yuan Chonghuan looked at the generals in the big account, laughed, and then asked his personal guards to take out his official uniform and seal.

A moment later, Yuan Chonghuan stood up from his chair in official uniform, holding a seal, and led a few guards to the outside.

After a stick of incense, Yuan Chonghuan came directly to Andingmen.

"Who are you?"

The defenders on the top of the city held up torches, looked at Yuan Chonghuan and others outside the moat, and asked in a deep voice.

"Tell him who we are."

Yuan Chonghuan pointed to a burly man behind him, and said in a deep voice.

The big man cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and shouted towards the top of the city, "Shangshu of the Ministry of War is also the right deputy capital censor, supervisor of Ji Liao, concurrently supervisor of Denglai, military affairs of Tianjin, and governor of Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan. "

Upon hearing this, the defenders on the top of the city asked again, "How do you prove it?"

"Here is the seal letter of the adults, please let us pass the moat first."

The big man looked at the defenders on the top of the city and shouted loudly.

"It's pitch black, is he Master Yuan?"

A soldier looked at a soldier next to him, and said with a puzzled expression.

Another soldier said: "It should be. When it was just dark just now, didn't a group of Ming troops come from outside the city? It seems that they should be the Guanning Army from Liaodong."

"Then let them come here?"

"Let it go, let them pass the moat first. At that time, we will hang their seals up in a bamboo basket to check. If it is true, then hang it up in a bamboo basket. If not, it's okay."

"Okay!" The soldier nodded heavily, then turned around, and shouted at Yuan Chonghuan: "You stay away, I will lower the suspension bridge for you first."

Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly took a few steps back when he heard the words.

The soldiers on the top of the city directly controlled a huge winch and lowered the suspension bridge on the moat.

A moment later, Yuan Chonghuan put the document and seal letter into the bamboo basket, and was hung up by the defenders on the top of the city.

After a few breaths, the defenders on the city wall pulled Yuan Chonghuan up.

A few quarters of an hour later, Yuan Chonghuan came to the warm pavilion of the palace.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan who was kneeling in the center of the warm pavilion, the expression on his face changed again and again.

Finally, Emperor Chongzhen took a deep breath, pretended to be happy and said to Yuan Chonghuan, "Yuan Aiqing, get up quickly."
