Blood from Daming

Chapter 803 Attacking Guangqu Gate

After Mangui's Deshengmen battle force retreated to build the captives, Emperor Chongzhen sent a middle official to send sheep and wine to comfort Mangui's troops, and ordered the Mangui army to enter Wengcheng to rest; a few days later Yuan Chonghuan led the generals Zu Dashou and He Kegang to enter Beijing Qin Wang, Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed and immediately summoned him on the platform, and warmly encouraged him to kill the enemy.

Yuan Chonghuan took the opportunity to invite him into the capital for a truce. Emperor Chongzhen murmured, because this time the Jiankui suddenly entered the customs and Yuan Chonghuan killed Dongjiang Mao Wenlong without authorization. He had gradually lost trust in Yuan Chonghuan and refused to invite Yuan Chonghuan. After entering the Urn City to rest, Emperor Chongzhen didn't answer. Yuan Chonghuan had no choice but to go out of the gate of Tunsha River to face off against the Man soldiers.

It turned out that Yuan Chonghuan was ordered to pacify the Liao Dynasty for five years. Naturally, it was quite effective to build cities, increase fortresses, and garrison fields. Mao Wenlong, in fact, Mao Wenlong was far away in North Korea's Phi Island, going deep into the enemy's rear, and Yuan Chonghuan was not affiliated with each other.

Yuan Chonghuan went to Dongjiang Shuangdao in the name of a military parade, and was greeted by Mao Wenlong's handsome generals. Chonghuan looked very modest and Mao Wenlong drank with each other in the boat. Xinyi Dongjiang Town relied on his own efforts and recruited fugitives to run it painstakingly. This time Yuan Chonghuan came to interfere for no reason, and left in a rage. Yuan Chonghuan's ambition to kill Mao Wenlong became stronger and stronger.

When Yuan Chonghuan was leaving, he invited the soldiers of Dongjiang Town to shoot on the mountain. Wenlong agreed to go to Yuan Chonghuan's army.

General Xie Shangzheng came out immediately, Chong Huan pushed Wenlong, behind Xie Shangzheng, several generals rushed out, unexpectedly took Wenlong down, Wenlong shouted: "What is my fault?"

Chong Huan said: "There are no less than ten kinds of crimes for you. That is, the Ministry was ordered to come here to reorganize the camp system. You disobeyed the order and did not obey. It is a trivial matter to recite me. You have no saint in your heart, that is, this end should be beheaded."

At this time, Mao Wenlong knew that he had fallen into Yuan Chonghuan's trick, so he had to kowtow to beg to avoid death. Yuan Chonghuan said: "Needless to say." Mao Wenlong pushed out and chopped.

Before offering Mao Wenlong's head for a while, Yuan Chonghuan immediately went down the mountain and told Mao Wenlong's tribe: "Mao Wenlong is the only one guilty of the crime, and the rest are innocent."

He also summoned Wen Longzi Chengzuo to come forward, and said: "Your father violated the imperial court, so he was executed. You are innocent, so guard here well. I beheaded your father for business. I just read it very much in private." Your father. If you try to cover up your father’s guilt, I will do my best to recommend you.” He also summoned the deputy general Chen Jisheng and ordered him to assist Mao Chengzuo to guard Dongjiang. .

Yuan Chonghuan reported this time to the Ming court. When Emperor Chongzhen learned that Yuan Chonghuan had killed Mao Wenlong, he was unavoidably suspicious and guessed. rise.

After Mao Wenlong's death, Dongjiang Town did not follow Yuan Chonghuan's intentions. Dongjiang Town was no longer a thorn in the heart of Jianlu. Throwing everything away, he actually used the money to build a captive, and was willing to remove Yuan Chonghuan for the pioneers. Since then, the empress dowager has rarely had the poisonous sting of Dongjiang Town, so he dared to venture thousands of miles into the important capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Chonghuan's garrison at Shahemen was just to prevent Jianlu from robbing the camp. Sure enough, Jianlu, who was familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, attacked at night. It was just that the officers and soldiers were not allowed to take a step out of the camp. A few days later, Jianlu gave up attacking Yuan Chonghuan's troops.

On the night of November [-]th in the second year of Chongzhen, Jianlu suddenly attacked Guangqumen in the east of the capital. Nearly [-] Jianlu were attached to the banner of the Han army and climbed the city. General Qian Zha Ganba commanded back and forth every day to keep Guangqumen from falling.

Wang Pu was in shock and said: "Chaganbari, isn't there Yuan Chonghuan's Liaodong Army outside the city? How could there be so many Jianlu attacking the city? Could it be that Yuan Chonghuan's Liaodong Army has already been defeated?"

Chaganbari said: "General, the men and horses under the city are in the costumes of the Ming army, and it may be the rebels who took the city."

Wang Pu was shocked and said: "Ah, the rebels, which rebels are they?"

Chaganbari said: "General, the last general dare not confirm."

Wang Pu leaned over the battlements and looked out. Wow, Wang Pu was also taken aback. He saw that the flames below the city flickered and flashed all the flags with the word "Xue". It was an impossible thing in Ming Dynasty. Although Wang Pu was dissatisfied with the Xue family army, and he was very arrogant about the position of the commander-in-chief of Datong, but if Wang Pu believed that the Xue family army surrendered to Jianlu, Wang Pu would not believe it, even Huang Taiji would not. Take in Xue Jiajun who is stained with the blood of the Jurchens.

Wang Pu suspected that it was the enemy's countermeasures, and he just ordered the officers and soldiers to fall to Guangqumen. However, it didn't take long for the entire Beijing city to report that Xue's army had rebelled, saying that Xue Yun was leading the Xue's army to attack Guangqumen. Almost everyone was in danger, except for a few clear-headed people who remained calm.

Emperor Chongzhen, who stayed up late to work, just fell asleep when he was shaken awake by his confidant eunuch Wang Chengen. Emperor Chongzhen woke up in a cold sweat, thinking that he was woken up just after falling asleep. Could it be that the city of Beijing was lost to Jianlu, with a terrified look in his eyes Looking at Wang Chengen.

Wang Cheng'en sighed secretly, he hurriedly called the emperor to wake him up, and he frightened the emperor, and said in a panic, "Your majesty, now the Guangqu gate of the outer city is under siege, and the city gate was once in danger."

Emperor Chongzhen didn't quite understand what he heard and asked, "Big Companion, it's Jianlu's bannermen."

Wang Chengen said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the strangest thing is that the ones attacking Guangqumen are in the uniforms of the Ming Dynasty's army."

Emperor Chongzhen said in shock: "Ban, that general surrendered to Jianlu."

Wang Chengen said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, the flag with the word "Xue" is flying, and there are about tens of thousands of troops, but Xue's army has a deep hatred with Jianlu, how could it be possible to be with Jianlu?"

Emperor Chongzhen was silent for a while and said: "Xue Yun's expedition to Tuxietu Khan has not returned, and it is difficult to guarantee that each of his subordinates will forget their righteousness for political gain, but it is clear who the general of Xue's army is."

Wang Chengen replied: "Your Majesty, you can't see clearly if you become a black light."

At this time, the female officer of Emperor Chongzhen reported that Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Cao Huachun, the admiral of Dongchang, asked to see him. study.

When Emperor Chongzhen came to the imperial study, Luo Yangxing and Cao Huachun had been waiting for a long time. After Emperor Chongzhen took his seat, Luo Yangxing and Cao Huachun looked at each other, and then Cao Huachun took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, Guangqu The doors are fighting."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "I know."

Cao Huachun reported: "Your Majesty, there are rebels from the Xue family army outside the Guangqu gate. Please order the emperor to arrest the servants of Xue's family in the capital and seize the property of Xue's mansion."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen asked Luo Yangxing, "Qing, what do you think?"

Luo Yangxing replied: "Your Majesty, I don't know whether Xue's army under the city is real or not."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Cao Banban, have you heard Luo Qing's words?"

Cao Huachun hurriedly replied, "Your servant understands."

Emperor Chongzhen waved to Cao Huachun and let Cao Huachun exit the imperial study. Emperor Chongzhen was very dissatisfied with Cao Huachun's impulsiveness, so he asked Luo Yangxing, "Luo Qing, tell me about Guangqumen."

Luo Yangxing pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know the real situation, but I think it's more part of Huang Taiji's alienation plan."

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "Luo Qing, what if the generals of the Xue family make trouble."

Luo Yangxing kowtowed and replied: "There is no such large-scale Xue family army near the capital, and Jin Yiwei and the Ministry of War have not received news of Datong and Cangzhou Xue family troops entering the capital. I think the truth will be revealed by dawn."
