Please ask me to be the emperor

"Boom, boom!" Outside Miyun City, the sound of artillery was so loud that it shocked the people ten or eight miles away to look at each other.

"Excuse me, father-in-law, where did the sound of the gunfire come from?" A strong man in ragged clothes couldn't help but stop an old man who was plowing the fields and asked.

"Oh, what you're talking about is that the Tatars are besieging Miyun City!" The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know what the court is thinking. They have been besieged for half a month, and there are no reinforcements at all. There was no movement.”

How did this old man know that the Ming Dynasty did not send reinforcements, but was defeated by the Hou Jin soldiers in a single battle? Now he is too frightened to go out of the city to fight at night.

"Oh? This cannon has been going off for half a month?" The strong man couldn't help but asked in surprise.

"How can it not be possible? They have been fighting in the past few days, and it seems that the Tatars have suffered a lot." The old man responded excitedly at first, and then said with a gloomy expression, "It's just that this morning there was a sound of cannons. , I’m afraid that Miyun City won’t be able to defend it!”

"Oh? That's it. That's how I thank my father-in-law!" The strong man saluted and then said goodbye to his father-in-law.

It turned out that this strong man was none other than Jiang Xuan, the general at Juyongguan who was ordered to garrison at Badaling in Juyongguan.

Just because Jin Dorgon's tribe wanted to go to Xuanfu, he fell into Juyong Pass under the pressure of the army.

According to the law, those who fall into the walled city must be killed!

After this guy was defeated, he hid in the mountains for seven or eight days. After waiting for the main force of Houjin to leave, he came out in panic and prepared to find Liu Hao, the deputy military envoy of Changping, to see if he could be accommodating.

How could he have imagined that not only was Changping lost, but Miyun was also besieged.

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but think about it: "I think this time is just like the 'Jisi Change'. I will wait for Hou Jin to plunder and leave, and the court will reorganize the country."

"Unexpectedly, looking at Hou Jin's attitude, it's obvious that he doesn't want to leave."

"Now I am a defeated general, and I should be killed according to the law. If I take the opportunity to invest the money, I will be laughed at."

"If I take the opportunity to do some research and then vote for my brother, wouldn't it be a good match for brotherhood?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but sneak towards Miyun City.

Unexpectedly, Houjin had many scouts, and he was discovered before he could get close to the banks of Baihe and Chaohe rivers.

But later, when the Jin soldiers saw that he was wearing rags, they thought he was a beggar passing by and it would be a waste of arrows to shoot him, so they rode over and chopped him with a knife.

Although this Jiang Xuan is not a fierce general in battle, he is also a man who has experienced battles for a long time. How could he not know the power of this cavalry?

When he saw Jin Bing coming over on horseback, he felt bad and hurriedly threw himself into the grass beside the road, rolling down the hillside.

It was June and the vegetation was lush. He jumped in and disappeared.

After that, Jin Shizi rushed over. After looking for a long time and seeing no one, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "The man on the right is a beggar, let him go, it won't be a big deal!"

Jiang Xuan escaped with his life, but he was scratched in many places by vegetation and suffered severe pain all over his body.

He couldn't help but thought: "It seems that we can't get close. In that case, why don't I go up to Yunmeng Mountain to see the reality?"

Just do it, Jiang Xuan didn't care about his injuries, and hurriedly limped towards Yunmeng Mountain in the northwest of Miyun.

The reason why he took a detour to Yunmeng Mountain instead of climbing directly to Shuigu Mountain in the south of Miyun was that Yunmeng Mountain was taller, and the south side was the only way for the Ming army to rescue, and Houjin was heavily guarded.

It is said that when he was hungry, he picked wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and when he was thirsty, he drank some mountain spring to quench his thirst. Now it took him most of the day to climb to Yunmeng Mountain.

Jiang Xuan took advantage of the trees on the mountain to find a place with a wide view. When he looked down, he was startled.

Why?

It turned out that Miyun City was surrounded by more than 30,000 people, and countless "Red Yi Cannons" were set up to blast the city walls.

Because the distance was too far, Jiang Xuan couldn't see the flags and artillery clearly, so he had to estimate based on the shape and size of the flags.

"Forty Hongyi cannons?" Jiang Xuan couldn't help but be shocked, "The Tatars are really willing to spend money this time!"

It turns out that Houjin picked up a red Yi bronze cannon from the seaside in the early years of Tiancong and named it "General Longwei of Zhenguo". After that, it was continuously melted and cast. In addition, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, monk Kexi and others surrendered and brought sixteen more cannons. Later, there were more than 40 Hongyi cannons.

In order to deal with the rebel army known as the "Red Barbarian Cannon", Hong Tai actually brought all the others into the pass except for a few left as guards in Shenyang and Lushun.

The "Wuzhen Chaoha" who entered the customs this time not only included Shi Tingzhu and Ma Guangyuan's left and right wings, but also the main force of Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi. There were about 20,000 soldiers, 40 Hongyi cannons, and various general cannons. There are countless guns, muskets and prisoner-killing cannons.

This time, Hong Tai wants to use this "Wuzhen Chaoha" as a secret weapon, preparing to destroy the two strong cities of Datong in Xuanfu in one fell swoop.

Then the strategic suppression of Ming and Shun was established to prepare for further seizing the world.

"Hou Jin fiercely attacked Miyun, and brought a large number of Hongyi artillery." Jiang Xuan couldn't help but mused, "Such important two pieces of information should be worthy of the position of commander-in-chief!"

Not to mention Jiang Xuan's calculations, let's say that on that day, Shuntian Governor Chen Zubao and Jizhen Commander-in-Chief Wu Guojun led more than 10,000 troops to rescue Miyun but failed. Instead, they were defeated by Hong Tai's plan and fled into the city. Suddenly the whole government and the public were in panic.

On this day, Emperor Zhu You of Chongzhen had finished his deliberation and had just arrived at Kunning Palace. Empress Zhou quickly came to greet him and ordered tea and cakes to be served.

Only then did Zhu Youjian feel that his stomach was empty, so he couldn't help but pick up the cake and put it in his mouth. However, after chewing it twice, he felt that it tasted like chewing wax, so he couldn't help but put it down again.

Seeing this, Queen Zhou felt very distressed and couldn't help but persuade her: "Eat something. Because of the complicated state affairs, Your Majesty needs to pay more attention to your health."

"Okay, I listen to the queen!" Zhu Youjian, who was quite irritable at first, calmed down a little after hearing this. He couldn't help but put it into his mouth again, chewed it carefully for a while and then swallowed it, and then said with a bitter smile.

"The government is complicated, but the Queen is laughing at it."

"They are all members of the family, what's so funny about this!" Queen Zhou shook her head gently when she heard this, and couldn't help but said tentatively.

"I still have a house in the south. If your Majesty is tired, you may want to take a rest."

"What does the queen mean by this?" Zhu Youjian was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said loudly, "Are you not as good as Song Zhenzong and Emperor Jingtai besides me?"

It turned out that after the defeats of Chen Zubao and Wu Guojun, knowledgeable people in the court had already made suggestions, asking Zhu Youjian to move south or the prince to move south.

But on the one hand, Zhu Youjian was looking good, but on the other hand, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, so he was undecided.
