There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

The Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City and the Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty.

This was the palace of Emperor Chongzhen in his early dynasty, and it was also the place where the Ming Dynasty decided on important matters.

"Lu Xiangsheng, the envoy of the Xuanzhen Ming Army, comes to visit!" a eunuch shouted loudly.

Lu Xiangsheng was neither humble nor arrogant, and walked into this hall that he had been to many times before, the center of power in the Ming Dynasty.

"General Lu Xiangsheng, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenming Army's Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, the commander-in-chief of the Tartar Regiment, has met the Ming Emperor!" Lu Xiangsheng bowed slightly and cupped his hands.

"You are a bold traitor, and you don't even kneel down in Dali to pay homage to the emperor!" a censor shouted loudly.

"Hahaha!" Lu Xiangsheng looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Lu Xiangsheng, why are you laughing?" Emperor Chongzhen asked himself.

"I'm laughing at you for not knowing what time it is tonight. Our Zhenming Army has already pressed forward with troops from the north and south and surrounded the city of Beijing. There is no longer any army capable of fighting in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Why are you still putting on airs and trying to get me, the Zhenming Army?" The envoy knelt down to pay homage," Lu Xiangsheng retorted sharply.

"Lu Xiangsheng, I still have 100,000 elite soldiers in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The walls of the capital are high and thick. The Tatars have invaded the capital many times, but they are unable to do anything about the city. How can your Zhenming army be able to capture it?" Chen Xinjia said with confidence. .

"Haha, the Tatar soldiers and horses that made the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty tremble were killed by our Zhenming Army and fled. Our Tatar Army Corps is attacking cities and territories in the hinterland of the Tatars. If they can't do it, it doesn't mean that the Zhenming Army can't do it.

What's more, I, Zhenming, have already occupied the capitals of the western Liaoning and Northern Zhili states and the entire territory of Shandong. The Ming Dynasty only has an isolated city in the north, the capital, and water transportation has been cut off. How long can you think of it? "Lu Xiangsheng bluntly exposed the shortcomings.

"My Ming Dynasty seems to be in danger. We are surrounded by enemies on all sides!"

"It's better to surrender as soon as possible. The city will be in chaos already."

"The water transportation is cut off. How can we defend the city without food? Surrender quickly."

"The Mantars beat our Ming Dynasty to the ground, but were beaten by the Zhenming Army and fled in all directions. The gap is too big, and this battle cannot be fought."

……

The Ming court officials in the main hall were talking about it.

"Quiet!" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't bear it and shouted loudly, and then said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Lu Xiangsheng, you were originally a minister of my Ming Dynasty. I don't treat you lightly, so why did you betray the Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, Xiang Sheng took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the city to find a way for you and the ministers to survive because of your kindness.

As for why I betrayed Ming Dynasty? I did not betray the Ming Dynasty. That year when the Tatars invaded the capital, I was named the governor of the world and served the king with troops. However, because Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian devoted themselves to seeking peace, they kept dividing my troops. In the end, I only had five or six thousand soldiers left. Centaur.

It's ridiculous that I, the governor who oversees the world's troops, can't get supplies in the entire capital. My five or six thousand troops are hungry and tired. In two days, before the Tatars come to attack, the whole army will inevitably collapse.

Xiang Sheng had no choice but to die on the battlefield to repay the emperor's favor. At Julujiazhuang, knowing that he was outmatched, I led five thousand loyal Ming soldiers to launch a desperate attack on the Tatars. In one day of fighting, almost all the army Die in battle.

Xiang Sheng was also in a coma due to serious injuries. At this time, only my lord Lin Feng led the Zhenming Army, regardless of personal safety, to attack the Tatar army and rescue Xiang Sheng.

From that moment on, Lu Xiangsheng of Ming Dynasty was dead. Now standing in front of you is Lu Xiangsheng of the Zhenming Army. I have a clear conscience! "Until today, Lu Xiangsheng had the opportunity to talk about the battlefield scene that day and express his depression.

"Ah, it turns out that the truth of the battle in Jiazhuang was actually like this."

"Our court forced our loyal ministers to death."

"In the Ming Dynasty, good people did not live long, and bad people lived for thousands of years!"

……

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was greatly shocked. He recalled the situation back then and felt that what Lu Xiangsheng said was true. He was really cruel in his heart. It was all because of the mistakes made by the ministers, and the mistakes made by the ministers!
"Where's Gao Qiqian? Where did this dirty guy die?" Chongzhen said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the high-level supervisory army is guarding the west gate of the capital."

"Convene him quickly!" Chongzhen shouted.

After a while, Gao Qiqian rushed over panting.

"You idiot, call me quickly. When the Tatars invaded, why did they divide Governor Lu's troops and cut off their food?" Chongzhen asked. "Well, at that time Yang Butang decided to preserve the military strength, and the slaves and maids all acted according to the opinions of the imperial court." Gao Qiqian felt bad when he saw Lu Xiangsheng coming.

"What if we are not allowed to supply food and grass?"

"Well, the supply of food and grass is really tight. Other states and counties are snobbish and think that Governor Lu will collapse, so they don't provide him with food." Gao Qiqian explained desperately.

"Ah, I'm so angry! Drag this slave out and beat me to death with a stick!" Chongzhen said angrily. He had to vent his anger.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!" Gao Qiqian was frightened to death and begged loudly for mercy.

"Drag him out, drag him out!" How could Emperor Chongzhen's anger be relieved without killing him? At this time, he wanted to drag Yang Sichang out and whip his corpse.

"Governor Lu, the current matter is indeed caused by villains. Now that the emperor has dealt with it, I wonder if you can return to the court to assist the emperor." Chen Xinjia tried.

"I am already a member of the Zhenming Army. I handle Gao Qiqian's affairs and the Ming court's affairs. Of course, if you don't handle it, we will naturally handle it when we capture the capital.

Not to mention that I, Lu Xiangsheng, am loyal to my master Lin Feng and have already vowed to follow him to the end. Even if I return to the Ming court, what will happen?

In our Zhenming Army, no general can take away the troops he belongs to. No general would be so stupid as to betray the Zhenming Army.

Therefore, I hope that the emperor and the ministers will be more sensible and have a good discussion on how to choose a way out. " Lu Xiangsheng said.

Emperor Chongzhen was greatly disappointed when he heard this. He said sadly: "You ministers can still join the Ming Dynasty, but how can I find a way out?"

"Your Majesty, my lord Lin Feng has promised that as long as the emperor can understand the general trend of the world and abdicate the throne to him, my lord will continue to inherit the title of Ming Dynasty and preserve the titles of Ming emperors in the past."

"Jiandou, can Lin Feng really preserve the name of the Ming Dynasty?" Emperor Chongzhen asked urgently.

"The name of my Zhenming Army is to revive the Ming Dynasty, and inheriting the name of the Ming Dynasty is also the meaning of the title." Lu Xiangsheng replied.

"What about me, what will he do with Lin Feng?" Emperor Chongzhen asked.

"My Lord is broad-minded and very generous. He is willing to canonize you as the King of Shuntian to commend the Emperor for his contribution to adapting to the general trend of the world and to ensure the safety of the Emperor's direct relatives and personal property." Lu Xiangsheng did not hide anything and said it. Bottom line.

From the bottom of his heart, he also wanted to get more benefits for Emperor Chongzhen so that he could have a decent place to go.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen even thought about the title for him, which seemed to be sincere. But who can be willing to surrender to the world?

Chongzhen pondered for a long time and said: "This matter is of great importance. I need to consider it carefully. Jiandou goes to rest first and we will discuss it tomorrow."

Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to leave.

"Your Majesty, I think the terms offered by the Zhenming Army are not bad, so let's accept our fate. Now there are no reinforcements from outside and no money or food from home. It is too difficult to hold on to Beijing." Fan Fucui, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said.

Chongzhen looked up at the ministers and asked, "What are your opinions?"

The Ming ministers in the main hall changed from the past tradition of always opposing any important decision, and no one said a word.

It seems that everyone is sensible and knows that the fall of Beijing is inevitable, and no one wants to be liquidated by the Zhenming Army afterwards.

Chongzhen looked at everyone in the palace with disappointment. How much he hoped that someone would support him in sticking to Beijing. Which emperor would be willing to give up the throne and the country and country left by his ancestors.

In the end, he could only helplessly wave his hands to let the ministers go first, and he slumped on the dragon chair helplessly, waiting for as long as he could.

Unfortunately it backfired.

Early the next morning, the Zhenming Army in the north of Beijing did not wait for the news of Ming Ting's surrender and immediately began bombarding the city with artillery.

Cao Huachun, the eunuch who was responsible for guarding Guang'an Gate in the capital, opened the city gate and surrendered at the unanimous request of his generals, and the outer city of Beijing fell.

In the city, Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, university scholar Wei Zaode, minister of war Zhang Jinyan and others led hundreds of officials to force the palace outside the palace, demanding immediate surrender.

Emperor Chongzhen was in dire straits internally and externally at this time. With no choice but to find Lu Xiangsheng immediately, he chose to surrender to the Zhenming Army. (End of chapter)
