In the first year of Chongzhen, mid-October.
The Later Jin soldiers surrounded Zunhua. That night, there were thieves who treasoned the country and colluded with the enemy and opened the two southeastern city gates.
Sun Chengzong blocked the East Gate rebels and set up an ambush to kill thousands of Later Jin Tartars, but it was difficult to prevent the fall of the South Gate.
Sun Chengzong was not afraid of danger and sent Mangui Lu Xiang to two tribes to block Nurhaci at the southern gate of Zunhua.
After a fierce battle, Datong General Man Gui died in battle, and Zhending Prefect Lu Xiangsheng disappeared! The soldiers and generals were killed and injured!
Zunhua South City Gate was completely destroyed at dawn!
The Later Jin army advanced straight into the sky, and Zunhua had nowhere to defend. In order to preserve the court's foundation, Sun Chengzong ordered other troops to break through and personally led the remaining troops to cut off the rear.
In the end, I will serve the country with death!
Zunhua’s military situation spread to the capital, and the court silenced! The capital was turbulent!
How many years have passed?
The glorious Ming Dynasty capital was once again completely exposed to the front of the alien soldiers!
Zunhua, who was highly anticipated by the court, had fallen after only a few days of patrolling him!
What does the fall of Zunhua mean?
This means that the Tumu Fort change that year will be staged in the capital again!
Tumu Fort is the main force in the Beijing camp that has been destroyed!
Now that Zunhua falls, it means that the mobile forces that the imperial court can mobilize in the Jingji area and even in most of the north, have also been lost to most of the battle that Zunhua, which was highly expected by the imperial court!
Although there are those who break out, the defeated soldiers can still have some combat power!
Looking at the entire north, how many troops can still come to the king's army in a short time?
Liao Town cannot move, Ji Town is almost invaded, Datong Mangui has been killed in battle, Xuanfu Hou Shilu is also defeated, the troops on the three sides of Shaanxi must stabilize the thieves and chaos, and Shanxi and Shandong serve the kings and horses will also succeed and fail!
Before the arrival of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses who were still on the road arrived, they had already fallen to a level that was even more dangerous than the Tumu Fort's Incident!
Even if the Later Jin army first came under the capital, a more terrifying situation would occur!
That is to surround the site and attack support!
The hasty and exhausted army, facing the Jin Iron Cavalry after waiting for the hard work...
The capital is in danger! The Ming Dynasty is in danger!
The court officials who gathered urgently in the court were also in chaos.
Zhu Youjian stood in front of the dragon throne, looking at the fear that could be seen everywhere, his face turned pale.
Now he has no intention of blaming the court officials.
Zunhua was lost, Jizhou was empty, and the capital had already opened its doors to Houjin.
And how many garrison forces do the capital have today?
Beijing Camp?
There are tens of thousands of troops on the books, but the actual strength is only more than 10,000, and they are all old, weak and disabled soldiers.
Even if we gathered the soldiers and generals of Zhili prefectures and counties, except for those who had already been sent to Zunhua, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers and generals. In addition to the Inner Army and various imperial guards, the Ming Dynasty was in the capital, and the enemy was close to us. Only tens of thousands of soldiers and generals were available!
How to resist this, how to resist this?
Should we repeat the shame of the previous dynasty?
No! Absolutely not!
Zhu Youjian severely slapped this idea!
During the Tumu Fort Incident, Yu Qian was present in the capital!
He also has his Yu Qian!
The mountains, rivers, sun and moon will always be there, and the Ming Dynasty will always be there!
This is his and Li Xiu’s promise to each other!
"Those who dare to argue about moving south will be killed!"
"Those who dare to shake the hearts of the army and the people will be killed!"
"Those who dare to collude with the enemy and sell their country will be killed!"
Without discussion, Zhu Youjian's cold voice resounded throughout the hall!
In the hall, no matter what the court officials thought, they all knelt down one after another, shouting that Your Majesty would calm down!
"Zunhua has been lost, and the generals of Jizhou are ordered to defend to the death. The Ministry of War immediately gathered Zunhua's defeated troops and defended outside the capital!"
"The Jinyiwei is in the city with martial law. Anyone who is carrying armor but does not go to the city will be killed! Anyone who spreads rumors and disrupts the morale of the army will be killed! Anyone who flees abroad will be killed!"
"If the Later Jin army is coming to the capital, I will personally visit the city tower and cheer for the soldiers!"
"There will be a battle, and the Ming Dynasty will win! All the dukes... should do their own things!"
After the words came, Zhu Youjian walked away with his sleeves, leaving the court officials to see each other, but he did not dare to say a word. After a while, they each walked out of the court...
"How long will it take for Brother Li to arrive?"
On the way back to the palace, Zhu Youjian once again asked what she had asked countless times.
"Report to Your Majesty, General Li reported the day before yesterday. It will take fifteen days. It has only been more than two days since then..."
"It's hateful! If Brother Li and Yongwei Camp were in the capital, how could they be so decayed today!"
Zhu Youjian was angry again and almost gritted his teeth!
But after the anger, he felt deeply helpless again. After a long silence, he asked slowly:
"How long will it take to get the nearest king-supporting troops?"
"The closest one is General Qin's white-rod soldiers, which will take about five days..."
"What about Yuan Chonghuan? Is there any movement?"
"There has not yet been a new military information from the General Yuan. According to the report from the General Yuan last time, it should be now with General Mao to prepare to send troops to the Later Jin Dynasty..."
"Send troops to the Later Jin..."
Zhu Youjian's steps suddenly stopped and said coldly: "Tell Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong, let him beat me hard!"
...
In fact, even if Zhu Youjian emphasized, Yuan Chonghuan would beat him hard!
From the beginning of this war, he was a sinner! The Ji Liao commander was an unrelieved guilt!
If you want to get rid of this guilt, you can only be treated and made meritorious!
Otherwise, he would have no doubt that once the war ended, he would have been taken to the big blame for that day!
Therefore, when he realized that he could not support the capital under the eyes of the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan immediately changed his mind.
He didn't hesitate to put down his figure and rushed to Dongjiang Town in person to find Mao Wenlong, whom he disliked, and rarely cut a lot of meat from Liao Town and gave it to Mao Wenlong.
In this way, coupled with the imperial decree, it did not take much effort. Liao Town and Dongjiang Town have reached a complete tacit understanding for the first time in history.
Together, attack the Later Jin Dynasty!
However, compared to the unscrupulous nature of Nurhaci leading his army in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan seemed extremely cautious.
After all, facing the Later Jin Dynasty and leaving the frontal field battle of the city, the Ming Dynasty seemed to have never won...
Therefore, even though he held the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the elite of Liao Town, Yuan Chonghuan seemed extremely careful.
But for Mao Wenlong, it seems a bit unscrupulous.
Nurhaci was in the Central Plains, and the main force of the Later Jin in Liaodong was restrained by Yuan Chonghuan. There were few such situations.
Although the role and treatment of Dongjiang Town have taken a sudden turn for him since Yuan Keli, who was grateful to him, has been steadily relied on his own.
But now, isn’t it a good opportunity!
At this time of national crisis, Yuan Chonghuan made meritorious contributions. Unless he took the blame for the Hou Jin, no matter how great the contribution he made, he would make meritorious contributions. In this case, as long as he Mao Wenlong showed his mighty power, it would be a great highlight!
At that time, the court's gaze would have to be on him, Mao Wenlong.
The Liao salary that makes him extremely jealous every year is enough to make him rich even if he only gets a little bit out!
Therefore, this time, Mao Wenlong was also extremely attentive, and Dongjiang Town almost came out in full swing!
Chapter completed!
