Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 838: The emperor’s beloved concubine destroyed the country by playing chess with people fighting outside the city.

Lin Xiangyu asked with a smile: "Husband, do you not believe Xu Yongning or He Yi? And don't underestimate your little King Wei too much. As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son, he is very promising."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Now I understand the Gaoliang River Donkey Cart God of War a little bit. No wonder this guy likes to draw formation diagrams and then force the frontline generals to act according to the formation diagrams. The king of a country sits at the rear and wants to resist the urge to point fingers at the front line. It’s really, really hard.”

"My husband is already a very good emperor. Even if we lose this time, it doesn't matter. Let's reorganize the army and fight again next year."

"They are all loyal and brave soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. I have to be responsible for their lives instead of letting them become cold casualties.

Forget it, the decisive battle has begun, there is nothing we can do, just wait for the result quietly.

Bring the Go chess and let's play a game of chess. "

After hearing this, the concubines took the chessboard and placed it on the coffee table, then gathered around.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Today we will play a game of 'National Destruction Chess'. I hold the black one, representing the Ming Dynasty; I hold the white one, representing the Great Yuan Dynasty. This chess game is based on the national destiny of the Ming and Yuan Dynasties."

Lin Xiangyu acted coquettishly when she heard this: "Although it is said that black people come first, the country was established first in the Yuan Dynasty and after the Ming Dynasty, so the Nu family should be the first to take over."

"Okay, okay, I'll let you go first."

"Oh, there is such a woman, how come we haven't heard of it?"

"Remember, one is Ye Xian's younger brother, and the other is Ye Xian's younger son. What are they doing?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded; "There is a Concubine Tian who is very similar to you. She also calls herself her daughter in front of the emperor, but you do it voluntarily, she was forced by someone."

When Ningxiang heard this, she immediately became interested: "Has your husband thought of it?"

"Secret history, secret history, I will tell you in detail later. Bring over today's memorials and military reports. I still have to read them briefly."

In the end, Zhu Qiyu became a bystander, watching intently the two little girls fighting in the chess game.

When Tian Fei plays chess with Chongzhen, she can control the situation until she loses twice every time.

Zhu Qiyu secretly admired in his heart: These little women are really powerful. If I die suddenly one day, any one of them will be the queen mother.

This control means losing half an eye, but it is a tricky technical job, and it is more difficult than winning chess.

A game of chess was played until almost noon, and the two sides were fighting inextricably.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Lin Xiangyu in front of him. Isn't this the way to go? Moreover, that Tian Fei's "no sweat in her muscles even though she eats hot food or walks in the scorching sun, and her pillow and table are filled with fragrance", this advantage cannot be the same as that of my favorite concubine, who is also a white tiger.

Zhu Qiyu is not good at Go and just plays chess to divert his attention. Ningxiang sat in Zhu Qiyu's arms, quickly making arrangements for her husband.

In the end, Lin Xiangyu lost half an eye and accepted the punishment and made lunch for the whole family.

Ningxiang shook Zhu Qiyu: "What are you thinking, daddy?"

Zhu Qiyu remembered another allusion. Tian, ​​the imperial concubine of Chongzhen, was one of the most beautiful concubines in the past dynasties according to the biographies of the concubines in the "History of the Ming Dynasty". , everything is perfect.

Qianxue smiled and said: "Husband, do you still remember Boyan Timur and Amasangchi?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Among the empresses and concubines of our Ming Dynasty, who can compare with you five?"

"They took their own soldiers and horses and secretly rushed to Hara and Lin. The two of them should have arrived before Hara Kuchu. Maybe they could wait for work and set up a big ambush for Hara Ku."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "That's not the case. Hara Kuchu is Ye Xian's son-in-law. They are not a family. But we can't let the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple and the whole family will not recognize the same family."

"Perhaps they will kidnap Qiqige and the women of Hara Kuchu?" "Then the east is not bright and the west is bright. I was hoping that Mandu Lun would be able to contain Hara Kuchu for me, but nothing happened. It has no effect. And I have no expectations for Boyan Timur and Amasangchi. Instead, they can achieve miraculous achievements.

If that's the case, I have to reward them well. "

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu felt better. Maybe Hara Kuchu was intercepted unintentionally. In that case, it would be like planting flowers but not living, and planting willows unintentionally.

"Go and cook. I have a little appetite again. Make me stewed chicken for noon. Eat and drink enough. I will keep you company."

……

But he said that the Mongolian army had launched an attack on the Dongsheng battlefield.

Agabarji personally led 50,000 elite cavalry to block the main force of the Ming army on the east side.

Maoli Hai led 60,000 cavalry, divided into three groups, and took turns attacking the Ming infantry on the north side.

The battlefield was filled with thundering drums and loud killing sounds.

The north side was composed of improvised infantry with low combat effectiveness. The only support they relied on was a defensive formation composed of chariots, crossbows, and firearms.

A positional battle had been fought in Liaodong before, and the Mongolian army had received enough intelligence, so it was fully prepared.

The 10,000 cavalry were divided into three teams, spread out widely, and slowly rushed towards the Ming army's formation of 30,000 people.

Within three hundred steps, the Ming army first launched a "swarm of bees", each group of rockets containing thirty-two rockets.

Since the Mongolian cavalry was extremely dispersed, the damage was not large.

Next came the bed crossbow, and then the light artillery and muskets.

The Mongolian army suffered hundreds of casualties before reaching the Ming army's infantry formation.

The Maoli boy watched from a high place and quickly ordered the flag to be waved, and then 20,000 cavalry came to charge.

Liu Chang, He Yi, and Hao Yi led the King of Wei and stood on the chariot, guarded by the Yingzhou Guards cavalry.

Seeing the situation on the battlefield, Liu Chang was a little anxious: "Our elites are all concentrated in the east. No one is attacking us, so we just watch. The north is full of makeshift infantry phalanxes. I'm afraid they can't hold the 50,000 to 60,000 Mongolian cavalry." charge. How about we mobilize two phalanxes to support us?"

He Yi shook his head: "The elite infantry of Baoding's left, center and right guards have all been deployed in formation. Once mobilized in this way, if the formation breaks up and is taken advantage of by the enemy's cavalry to break through, it may collapse. Still. Just wait and see.

The 30,000 infantrymen in the north are only acting as a blocker. If they can't hold it anymore, let them withdraw from the battlefield and go down to Dongsheng City.

It is better to send a signal and ask Duke Dingguo to drive the 30,000 cavalry in Dongsheng City out of the city. While containing the Mongolian army under the city, we are preparing to meet our defeated army. "

When Liu Chang heard this, he ordered the soldiers to wave the flag and send a signal.

There are many Mongolian troops, and there are also many Ming troops. If they fight, it will turn into a complete melee among the legions.

Xu Yongning had been waiting for a long time. When he received the signal, he immediately opened the north city gate, drove out 30,000 cavalry, and moved to the east city to form a formation.

So under Dongsheng City, 30,000 Ming army cavalry and 20,000 Mongolian army cavalry faced each other and faced off.

There were only more than ten thousand defenders left in Dongsheng City. This is also a desperate situation. If the Ming army outside the city loses, Dongsheng City will basically not be able to defend it.
