Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"Ren Yingtou! The knife on your waist is still from my family." Seeing his old friend in the capital, Yang Rusong was in a very happy mood.So what he said to Ren Pojun was still in Mongolian, just to show some intimacy.

"Oh! You are the boss of Master Yang's family!" Ren Pojun suddenly remembered, "Why are you here? You even lead troops. Didn't I hear that your family moved out of the capital?"

Ren Pojun was full of doubts.Of course, he only knew that Yang Goudan's family left the capital, and he didn't know that they were forcibly brought to Guide by Wu Shigong.But the current Ren Pojun doesn't have any doubts about Yang Rusong's identity.

"My lord is General Wu from Runing. He ordered me to come to the capital first, and King Qin's army will come later." Yang Rusong resumed his Chinese and said to Ren Pojun with a smile.

"Then general, please save father!"

"Yes! You go to the imperial city to rescue the emperor and empress!"

……

As soon as they heard that King Qin's army had arrived, Prince Zhu Cihong and the eunuchs around him began to chatter.

"Who is this?" Seeing the young man behind Ren Pojun interjecting with his followers, Yang Rusong was a little confused.

"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the two princes! I am protecting a few Highnesses to go to the outer city. It is just right that General Yang is here. I will trouble you to send troops to send them there." Ren Pojun said politely.

Upon hearing the identities of these teenagers, Yang Rusong's face darkened immediately.Although Yang Rusong is still young, he has been a senior general of the Runing Army for such a long time. Even if he is a political novice, he now has political sensitivity.So as soon as Yang Rusong learned that those teenagers were princes and princes, two words suddenly rose in Yang Rusong's heart—trouble!

We already know that the purpose of the Runing Army's rescue of the capital this time is to rescue Xue Chenglin and Wu Shigong's family.The Runing Army made no demands on whether they could keep the capital and rescue Emperor Chongzhen.

Speak more thoroughly.In fact, what the Runing Army hopes most is that the Ming Dynasty will be overthrown and Emperor Chongzhen's family will be killed.In this way, there will be no coercion for the next move of the Runing Army.

At that time, Wu Shigong can hold a vassal king at will, and come to hold the emperor to command the princes.But the greater possibility is that Wu Shigong simply puts on the dragon robe and brings about a real change of dynasty.

But having said that, Wu Shigong didn't want the whole family of Emperor Chongzhen to die at his own hands, and there are still some world issues that need to be considered.If it can reduce some of the brutal methods during the regime change, it can also make the process of the Runing Army's unification of the world smoother.

So now Yang Rusong saw the prince Zhu Cihong and other three princes.I felt like I saw three hot yams.

Just at this time, the arrival of a messenger from the rear broke the embarrassment at this moment: "My lord, the doors are almost sealed, and General Liu wants everyone to evacuate to the outer city."

"Understood! Let's go together!" Yang Rusong finished speaking to Ren Pojun.He drove his horse away from the prince and the others.Then he arranged for the troops to retreat one by one.

And Ren Pojun also felt the change in Yang Rusong's attitude.But he could only pretend not to know, turned around and saluted Prince Zhu Cihong, "His Royal Highness! Let's leave quickly!"

Although they are still young, Prince Zhu Cihong and the others also feel that something is wrong.But now they are all fish under the knife, so they can only take a step to watch, and hide in the outer city first.As for the whereabouts of Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou, we can only wish them good fortune.

When all the Runing troops who rushed into the inner city withdrew to the outer city.It was already daylight.The people guarding the gates of the three cities immediately closed the gates and locked the gates.Those gates were made overnight by craftsmen. Although they were very rough, they could always delay the opening of the city gates by the Dashun Army.Then the craftsmen were still busy "cracking" on the city gate.It is necessary to add a few more gates to the city gate.And a large number of civilians also began to pile sand and gravel behind the city gates, trying to block the three city gates tightly.

Although he hadn't slept all night, Yang Rusong couldn't rest yet.Obviously, the Dashun army will soon control the inner city and the imperial city, and attacking the outer city will be imminent. Yang Rusong must arrange the defense of the city as soon as possible.

"For the other three walls, there are Zongbing Li and Eunuch Liu. General Yang, Zongbing Liu and Deputy General Ren, you will join my Runing Army to guard the city wall of Zhengyangmen." Yang Rusong ordered.

"Yes!"

"Divide the troops into several teams and take turns to rest. The strong men in the city must also be recruited to form teams to help defend the city. Also, arrange all the people on the street into the house, and the idlers are not allowed to go to the street. , to prevent spies from sneaking in. This matter will trouble Xuehou and Zhang Gongye, Commander Zhou, you will assist the two adults in this matter."

"it is good!"

"Gather the sons, princes, and female relatives in the city, and build a wall along the inner streets. In case the city wall is breached, we will retreat to the inner wall for defense. In addition, we must also gather food, grass, gunpowder, and medicinal materials. to the city."

"Yes!"

"Gather together the family members of the recruited strong men. If someone surrenders to the enemy or retreats, all his family members will be killed. If there are casualties, I hereby promise to support his family members for the rest of their lives."

"As it should be!"

……

Yang Rusong issued orders one after another in an orderly manner.Hearing these orders were in order, the hearts of those dignitaries and civil and military officials who were watching gradually settled down.

At this time, more than 36 soldiers and civilians in the capital fled to the outer city, accounting for more than 7000% of the total population of the capital.The fighting troops included more than 3000 Runing Army led by Yang Rusong, [-] surrendered Peasant Army led by Yang Chengzu, and more than [-] Ruzhou Army led by Liu Guqian.And these troops are basically under the absolute control of the Runing Army, and they are also the core of defending the city at this time.

In addition, there are more than 1000 Jingying Chu troops led by Liu Yuanbin, more than 8000 warrior battalion soldiers led by Ren Pojun, more than 5000 noble guards led by Li Lu, and more than 2000 original Jingying defenders in the outer city. , There are also more than [-] soldiers and horses in the four cities headed by Zhou Zhengkun, and nearly [-] soldiers from the Beijing camp who fled to Nancheng.

The combat effectiveness of these soldiers is uneven, and they are all inclined to the Runing Army or remain neutral, and their hearts are not very unified.It was only under the pressure of the Dashun Army outside the city that these troops gathered temporarily and obeyed Yang Rusong's orders.

Moreover, the young and strong in the outer city can recruit at least 5 to [-] people.However, under the current circumstances, these young men had no time to integrate and organize, so the burden of combat could only fall on the shoulders of the core troops like Yang Rusong. (To be continued..)
