Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 740
Before the sun rose from the horizon on the second day, the entire capital city fell into a commotion.

However, this noise is a bit weird.

A large number of people gathered at the various gates of the capital city, and these people surrounded the gates of the city wall, wanting to leave the city.

The soldiers guarding the city did not stop them, and released these people one by one.

When these people were let out of the city, the guarding soldiers kept looking at the people who were leaving the city.

Beside these soldiers, there are Jinyiwei and Dongchang personnel sent by Gao Qiqian.

These people are to monitor whether there are any officials in the crowd who want to sneak out of the city.

Chongzhen walked out of Kunning Palace, he looked at the sun that had just risen from the horizon, let out a long breath, and walked forward aimlessly.

Last night, Chongzhen lived in Kunning Palace.

In the past, Chongzhen would definitely be busy dealing with political affairs after waking up, but now Chongzhen has no political affairs to deal with.

Now the place in Chongzhen's hands is almost empty, and the government is dealing with paralysis, so what kind of political affairs are they still dealing with?
If it weren't for Cao Huachun's ability, Chongzhen estimated that the current palace would also be in a panic.

Chongzhen walked aimlessly in the palace, he wanted to see every corner of the palace.

Chongzhen understood that this was probably the last time he saw the palace.

Those officials in the capital, because of Chongzhen's will, they will not be able to leave the city for a while, and can only stay at home and sigh.

Most of the officials in the late Ming Dynasty had no bottom line, as if the demise of the country had nothing to do with them.

In a three-entry house not far from the imperial palace, a middle-aged man with gray sideburns sat in the hall, with a sad face and kept sighing.

Houses not far from the imperial palace are not cheap, even if they are officials in Beijing, few can afford them.

This middle-aged man was born in Jiangnan and other places, and his family was in business, so he bought this three-way house with a lot of money.

Opposite the middle-aged man sat a middle-aged woman who was about the same age as him. The middle-aged woman pointed at the middle-aged man and complained: "He Qidong, He Qidong, you are also a servant of the Ministry of Industry. What did you do? Now that the people in the entire capital are running outside, you are still indifferent, what are you thinking?
Did you read yesterday's newspaper?Now thief Zhao has basically pacified the world, his throne is about to be secured, and our house has also been taken by thief Zhao.I don't think it will be long before Bandit Zhao will attack the capital. If we don't go out, I'm afraid we will be buried with the capital! "

He Qidong kept rubbing his head, looked at his wife, and said helplessly, "Do you think I don't want to leave the city? I also want to leave the city, but now I can't.

Your Majesty has issued a decree before, prohibiting officials in the city from leaving the city, otherwise they will be punished as surrendering to the enemy, how do you think I will get out? "

"Are you stupid? Do you think you are stupid? Now Your Majesty will soon be the king of subjugation. What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? Just go out, what are you afraid of? Before, I was going out of the city, You still stop me and don't let me go out." The woman chattered and complained non-stop.

The woman's face was ugly. From her point of view, the capital might not be able to keep. I'm afraid it won't be long before the capital will be captured by Zhao Wen.

When the time comes for the army to attack the city, who knows what will happen, maybe even their lives will be lost.

"Women's opinion, do you think I don't want to go out? Do you think I don't know this? Let me tell you, yesterday, some officials wanted to mix with the people and go out of the city, but what was the consequence? Cao Huachun's eagle claw Sun led his men to arrest him, and the entire family was imprisoned.

I don’t tell you what the imperial prison is. Now that they’re in the imperial prison, do you think they can still come out?Maybe they're all dead by now! "He Qidong opened his eyes wide and looked at the woman.

"What? There is such a thing?" The woman was taken aback, she did not expect such a thing to happen.

"Otherwise, you think I don't want to leave the city? I have long wanted to leave the city!" He Qidong sighed.

"Damn it, what a dog emperor, what a dog emperor. I'm about to die, and I still drag us to be buried with me, what a dog emperor!"

The woman was upset and couldn't get angry, so she started to drink and curse.

From the woman's point of view, anyone who doesn't make her feel better is not a good thing, even the emperor is no exception.

"Keep your voice down, the imperial court is about to disappear, who knows if His Majesty will go crazy!" He Qidong hurriedly scolded.

The chaos in the capital continued, and almost all the shops in the city were closed, except for those opened by Zhao Wen.

It does not mean that all the people want to escape from the city, and some people do not want to leave the city.

……

In the conference room of the Military Academy, Zhao Wen sat at the head of the conference room.

All the officials of the Military Academy sat on both sides of the conference table.

This kind of setting was specially made by Zhao Wen. At the beginning, the officials in the Military Academy objected loudly. After all, they had never experienced sitting with the emperor in a meeting.

However, Zhao Wen insisted on doing so, and it was hard for these officials to refuse.

"Everyone, now only the capital is left, it's time to take it down!" Zhao Wen looked around and said.

"The regular army in our hands is basically outside now. Your military academy has come up with a charter to see how to attack the capital and Beizhili!" Zhao Wen asked.

In fact, Zhao Wen already had his own plan in mind, and now Zhao Wen wanted to hear what the officials in the Military Academy had to say.

An official sitting under Qi Qingtian stood up.

This official used to be a counselor in Zhao Wenjun, and was at the same level as Zhao Daniu, called Fang Fengde.

This person has a lot of military skills, so Zhao Wen promoted him to the Military Academy.

After arriving at the Military Academy, Fang Fengde has also made many correct decisions, and he is a capable official.

"Your Majesty, to us, the capital city and Beizhili are just a turtle in a urn, and we can take them with a simple gesture.

Today, the regular army of the new dynasty is distributed in the southwest and southeast.Among them, General Zhao and General Liu are chasing down the remnants of the enemy in the southwest mountains.

There are many mountains in the southwest, and the mountains are steep, and they will not be able to take them down for a while, so these two soldiers and horses cannot move.

As for the southeast area, General Song has already taken the southeast area.Therefore, the troops in the hands of General Song can just be used to attack the capital and Beizhili.

If you come from the southeast, General Song can take the sea route, which will be faster. "Fang Fengde looked at Zhao Wen and said his opinion.

Zhao Wen nodded, "You are right, very reasonable!
Does anyone have an opinion now?Speak up and listen! "

Zhao Wen looked at the others!
"Your Majesty, I have my own opinions!" A middle-aged official stood up.

The meeting lasted for an hour, and all matters concerning the dispatch of troops were finalized, except who the coach of the dispatch of troops was not finalized.

"This time I will send troops to the capital, and I will personally lead the troops!" Zhao Wen slapped the table in front of him and said loudly.

All the officials in the conference room looked at Zhao Wen with astonishment on their faces.

They didn't expect that Zhao Wen would personally lead the troops to attack the capital at this time.

But after thinking about it, they quickly understood again.

The capital and Beizhili were at the end of the battle, and Zhao Wen was the emperor, so it was normal to raise troops to attack the capital.

"This matter is so decided!" Zhao Wen made a final decision.

"Let's do the next thing according to what we discussed just now!"

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside.

The officials of the Military Academy waited for Zhao Wen to go out, and hurriedly formulated the contents discussed just now.

After the formulation was completed, these contents were sent to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen sat in the imperial study room, and after reviewing the content submitted by the Military Academy, he sent it back.

After receiving the content sent back by Zhao Wen, the Military Academy began to move.

Various orders came from the military academy, and various personnel came out of the military academy and headed towards where Song Hu was.

In this plan, Zhao Wen is the main general of the attack on the capital, and Song Hu is the deputy general.

A total of 5 soldiers and horses were led in this dispatch, and the dispatch time was in mid-November.

The war lasted a total of one and a half months and ended before the Chinese New Year.

These 5 horses are more than enough to take down the current capital and Beizhili.

That night, Zhao Wen had someone call Liu Wenzhong to the imperial study.

Liu Wenzhong sat in the imperial study room, looked at Zhao Wen who was sitting on it, and waited quietly for Zhao Wen's order.

"Aiqing, the capital is about to be attacked in mid-November. This time I let you come, and I have something for you!" Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong and said.

Liu Wenzhong thought it was the supporting officials and other matters, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the officials in the capital and Beizhili have been arranged. As long as the capital and Beizhili are taken down, the officials will be in place immediately!"

Zhao Wen shook his head and said, "It's not about this, I want you to write a letter of appeal!"

No matter when you send troops, you must be famous. Even if it is a rebellion, you must get a decent name.

This time Zhao Wen took the capital, so there must be a call to action.

It was precisely because the target was the capital that Zhao Wen wanted Liu Wenzhong to write the call to action himself.

Zhao Wen knew Liu Wenzhong's literary talent and ability, so Zhao Wen was very relieved to hand it over to Liu Wenzhong.

"Call out?" Liu Wenzhong looked at Zhao Wen.

"That's right, it's a call to action! Now only the capital and Beizhili are left. After this war, the world can be said to be completely peaceful, so I want to hand over this matter to Aiqing!" Zhao Wen said.

"The minister leads the decree to thank you!"

Without hesitation or doubt, Liu Wenzhong stood up directly, saluted Zhao Wen respectfully, and accepted the order.

Liu Wenzhong understands that this essay has a high possibility of being passed down in history, and if it is written well, it might become as famous in history as Luo Binwang's "A Call for Martial Arts for Xu Jingye".

Liu Wenzhong is now in charge of the Senate, and his fame is a certainty in history, but who in this world would dislike the lack of honor on his body?
Liu Wenzhong withdrew from the imperial study, and on the way back to the Council, he was thinking about how to write this essay.

After being released from the Yamen, Liu Wenzhong, who returned home, was not in the mood to eat, so he locked himself in the study, conceiving the essay.

Zhao Wen gave Liu Wenzhong five days, and Liu Wenzhong felt that it was difficult to write a good essay in five days.

During these five days, as long as Liu Wenzhong was free, he would conceive a call to arms.

On the fourth day, Liu Wenzhong had almost finished his idea. After returning home, he locked himself in the study.

Liu Wenzhong spread a piece of pure white rice paper on the desk, holding a brush in his hand, and began to write on it.

About half an hour later, Liu Wenzhong let out a sigh of relief, put down the brush in his hand, and showed a relaxed expression.

"It's finally finished, it's not easy!" Liu Wenzhong said with emotion.

The call to action almost exhausted all of Liu Wenzhong's talents and learning, and the whole call to arms is magnificent and full of words.

Although it is not as good as Luo Binwang's "A Call for Martial Arts for Xu Jingye", it is not much worse.

The next day, Liu Wenzhong came to the Imperial Study Room with a call to arms.

After Zhao Wen read the proclamation, he asked Liu Wenzhong to bring the proclamation to the newspaper office.

A few days later, newspapers from the newspaper office began to appear in the capital.

Liu Wenzhong's essay also spread in the capital.

Chongzhen was sitting in the imperial garden, holding a newspaper in his hand, his eyes were fixed on the article in the newspaper, and his whole body was trembling.

The air gradually became strange, and the atmosphere became more and more heavy.

Standing beside Chongzhen, Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen did not dare to speak, their bodies were getting smaller and smaller.

"Too much deception, really too much deception!" Chongzhen threw the newspaper in his hand on the ground, and stomped hard a few times.

"Zhao Wen's dog thief, bullying too much!"

Chongzhen looked in the direction of Xuanzhen and cursed loudly.

Although the proclamation did not explicitly scold Chongzhen, it also satirized Chongzhen seriously.

Even though Chongzhen had already prepared himself, he almost couldn't bear it.

"Too much bullying, too much bullying!"

Chongzhen felt sad from his heart, his body softened, and he sat down on the chair again.

Chongzhen looked in the direction of Xuanzhen in despair, and kept cursing Zhao Wen.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger, Your Majesty, rest your anger!"

Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen hurriedly knelt on the ground and kept persuading Chongzhen.

"Okay, get up, I can handle it!" Chongzhen took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality.

Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen stood up from the ground and stood beside Chongzhen respectfully.

"Go back, I'm a little tired!" Chongzhen stood up from the chair and walked forward on his own.

Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen hurriedly followed behind Chongzhen.

On the way back to the bedroom, Chongzhen had mixed feelings in his heart.

"I shouldn't have listened to the old man Wen Tiren back then, if it wasn't for him, how could I have come to this point?
If it wasn't for him, how could thief Zhao rebel?All of this is Wen Tiren's fault! "

Chongzhen kept scolding Wen Tiren in his heart. In his opinion, Wen Tiren was to blame for the current situation.
