Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 129

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and did not continue to entangle, so he changed the subject: "Aiqing sent the emperor's guard of honor in a timely manner. After dinner, we will go to Zijing Pass and tell the generals guarding the pass to order them Open the city gate and let me wait to enter.

As long as you pass the Bauhinia Pass, there will be a flat river behind you.In less than three days, we will be able to reach the city of Beijing, and my restoration will be just around the corner. "

Yang Shan is not so optimistic, although Yang Shan has been tossing back and forth recently, either in the Wala camp, on the way to the Wala camp, or on the way back to Beijing from the Wala camp, there is no safe place in the capital stayed.

But after all, Yang Shan knew more about the current situation of the capital than Zhu Qizhen, so he persuaded him immediately: "Your Majesty, the new king should not be underestimated. There are at least [-] to [-] troops in the capital now, and they are willing to listen to the new king's orders.

Most of the other armies were newly transferred to the capital and were completely under the control of the Ministry of War.And Yu Qian has formulated a severe punishment system: all the army camps outside the city, and once the general escapes, his soldiers can kill him.

If the soldiers escape, the rear team will kill the front team.Even if everyone is scattered, the city guards will not open the city gates, making it impossible for people to escape into the city. They can only surrender or fight to the death.

With Wala's current military strength, without large siege equipment or heavy artillery, how can it capture the city of Beijing? "

Zhu Qizhen was quite displeased when he heard the words, and immediately retorted: "But I have traveled all the way, from Yanghe to Datong, and then to the Zijing Pass, and wherever I pass, the officers and soldiers are all looking forward to the wind.

Well, it can't be said that he was looking forward to the wind, but to be precise, he was eating a pot of pulp to meet Wang Shi. "

Yang Shan shook his head, still persuasively persuading him: "My humble minister has the courage, please don't be blindly optimistic. The methods and scheming of the new monarch must not be underestimated.

Although I don't understand why His Majesty is going so smoothly, I still have to be cautious, maybe there is a fraud in it. "

"Come on, my younger brother has been cowardly and mediocre since he was a child, and has no independent opinions. As an older brother, I still don't understand him.

Along the way, I have also seen with my own eyes that the guards and soldiers of the cities are sincerely supporting me, how can this be fraudulent.

You can say that the new ruler lied to me, and you can also say that the ministers of the court and China lied to me, but you can't say that all the soldiers at the border have colluded with each other, let's act together to deceive me. "

Yang Shan was speechless when he heard the words, so he had to resign temporarily.

Less than an hour later, Zhu Qizhen got up, had breakfast, and was served by the beauty, and put on the dragon robe.

Zhu Qizhen turned around twice, and praised: "My brother is so caring, he even sent the dragon robe. I am not a heartless person. After I return to Beijing and reset, I will let my brother go Bar.

Since he likes to be the king of Qi, it doesn't matter if I entrust the land of Qi to him. "

Ma Liang flattered from the side: "Your Majesty is right. The new monarch never wears a dragon robe or sits on a dragon chariot, and never enters the Forbidden City when he has nothing to do. He really doesn't have the intention of being a domineering one."

Zhu Qizhen nodded approvingly, walked out of the felt tent and got into the chariot under the service of everyone.

They also dispatched [-] troops first, and embraced Zhu Qizhen to the Zijing Pass.

Also under the tent first, Naha, who is proficient in Chinese and has always been used as an envoy, came out, rode his horse to the city, and shouted: "Listen, the guards of the city, the son of the emperor is driving here, and you will open it quickly." City gate, to welcome His Majesty the Emperor into the city."

Sun Xiang, Zuo Neng, all the officers and men guarding the pass, as well as the literati and painters sent by the emperor, crowded on the top of the city and looked down.

I saw the shining guard of honor of the Son of Heaven, majestic and eye-catching.

Behind the emperor's guard of honor are armored cavalry who can't see the edge at a glance.As the saying goes: Once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.

What's more, there are [-] elite cavalry who have experienced many battles.

As soon as Naha finished speaking, Boyan Timur took the lead in shouting from behind: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

Then [-] cavalrymen followed suit and shouted.

Most of the people in the city were terrified when they heard this.This is the real Shan Hu Long live. Ordinary people will never have the chance to hear 3 people shouting Long Live together.

Only Sun Xiang, who was determined to die, and Lian Gang, who had a well-thought-out plan, remained unmoved.

Lian Gang walked back and forth in the city, comforting the accompanying literati and painters one by one.

Before Lian Gang finished appeasing everyone, the slogan of the Wala cavalry outside the city changed again: "Open the city gate, open the city gate, open the city gate."

The overwhelming shouts were deafening and frightening, and the calves of the people in the city who were not determined had already turned around.

Lian Gang was overjoyed, such a scene was enough for the painter he brought to remember him for a lifetime, so that he would be able to draw a peerless masterpiece.

When I present a grand and imposing picture of the "Emperor Calling the Gate" to the new emperor, it will be no problem at all to become the third closest minister of the emperor.

Shan Hu shouted like a tsunami, and lasted for a whole stick of incense, and then Zhu Qizhen's chariot moved forward slowly, came to the bottom of the city, and stopped only when it was only a shot away from the city gate.

Just when everyone in the city was still in shock, Zhu Qizhen lifted the curtain of the car and walked out.Standing at the front of the car, he scanned the crowd in the city.

Most of the soldiers could not help but kneel down as soon as their knees softened.

Sun Xiang had no choice but to bow his hands and salute, and shouted to the city: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I can't let the Wala army enter the pass. Please be aggrieved and go to the top of the city in a hanging basket. I will lead the defenders of Zijing Pass to escort Your Majesty back to Beijing."

Zhu Qizhen replied: "Who are you? Why don't I recognize you?"

Sun Xiang replied: "Your Majesty, I was in the Ministry of Military Affairs before. Meng Xinjun Jianba was promoted to the right deputy capital censor, responsible for the township of Zijingguan."

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen frowned deeply, Bingke was from the seventh rank, and the right deputy Du Yushi was the third rank, so it's all the same, is this Jian Ba, it just flew up.

It's no wonder that Zhu Qizhen was puzzled by this, even Zhu Qiyu who was sitting in the capital felt very confused.

Zhu Qizhen had no choice but to continue to ask: "Where did you come from, and when did you become a Jinshi?"

Sun Xiang replied: "Weichen is from Datong County, Datong Prefecture, Shanxi. He was a Jinshi in the tenth year of Zhengtong, and he was awarded the military department to Shizhong."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and had a guess in his mind: a native of Datong, Shanxi, a Jinshi in the orthodox decade, and at this time Yu Qian was patrolling Shanxi as the Minister of the Ministry of War.After Sun Xiangzhong became a Jinshi, he happened to enter the Ministry of War again and became Yu Qian's subordinate.

Most likely, this Sun Xiang is Yu Qian's confidant, but his way of promotion is too radical. He directly promoted from the seventh rank to the third rank, wouldn't he avoid suspicion?

After figuring out the joints, Zhu Qizhen didn't expect Sun Xiang to take the initiative to open the city.

And it was enough for Zhu Qizhen to show his face under the city to let the defenders know that the emperor was really here.

So Zhu Qizhen's task was completed, he returned to the car, then the chariot turned around and retreated to the rear of the Wala army.

He also accompanied Zhu Qizhen to sit in the central army first, and ordered Iron Marshal Polo to lead his troops to attack the city.

After the shock of Zhu Qizhen leading [-] Wala iron cavalry to call the door, the defenders of Zijingguan were obviously shaken and their morale was sluggish.

Sun Xiang tried his best to hold on for a long time, but couldn't take it anymore.

In the evening, Lian Gang withdrew from the Bauhinia Pass with a group of literati and painters.

However, Gu Cong's Yingzhou Qianwei refused to participate in the war, but roughly arranged some useless traps and repelling horses outside the camp, and dug a symbolic trench.

It was not until dark that Wala withdrew his troops and returned to camp.

Just when the soldiers at the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief and each rested, a group of Wala elite soldiers, led by Xining, sneaked across the mountains and went around the flanks to ambush.

In the early morning of the next day, the Wala army continued to attack the city from the front and continued to fight until noon. Xining suddenly led an ambush army to attack from the flank, catching the Ming army by surprise.

But Zuo Neng took advantage of the chaos of the Ming army in the city, and led his people to abandon the city and flee.

So far, the general situation has passed, and the Ming army has completely fallen into chaos.

The soldiers in the city began to put down their weapons one after another, shouting long live the Supreme Emperor.

The officers and men of Wala are quite polite, as long as they shout long live the emperor, they will not be killed, and they will be allowed to flee for their lives.

After carefully recording these important scenes, Lian Gang said with a smile to Gu Cong: "General Gu, our mission has been completed. Hurry up and pick up Sun Yushi, and then quickly withdraw our troops."

When Gu Cong heard this, he ordered the elite of Yingzhou's avant-garde to go to the city, picked up Sun Xiang and others, and then rode a fast horse to leave the battlefield quickly, and left all the supplies in the camp to the Wala army.

At this point, the Oirat army entered the hinterland of Ming Dynasty in Yimapingchuan, and the defense of Beijing officially kicked off.
