Chongzhen was also very moved by the words of Empress Zhou. There were natural dangers in the Yangtze River, soldiers and horses in Nanjing, and six ready-made teams. The emperor took the empress and his sister-in-law, plus hundreds of eunuchs and guards of the imperial guards, and could quickly go south.

But after the bandits blocked the way, the emperor kept hesitating, and Sun Chengzong opposed the proposal.

Sun Chengzong admitted that it was the last chance in the north, Ji, Liao, Baoding, and at that time, there were Xuanda towns, hundreds of thousands of border troops, the largest force group of the Ming Dynasty, and the last dependence.

The Nanjing Jingzhan has no combat power, and the Caojiang soldiers have no combat power. Apart from the Nanjing Jingzhan, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xunyang Town, and about 3,000 people can be used to the battlefield.

Such a weak defense will not be raised at all. If you give up the north and hundreds of thousands of troops collapse, how can these soldiers in the south resist the powerful enemy? It is nothing more than surviving!

Sun Chengzong's words are also true. At this time, there was no incident of thieves breaking Fengyang, so the court did not set up defenses in Jiangbei to defend the four towns one after another, and it was completely empty.

Before the emperor answered, the imperial sign made a fuss and said, "I am going back and forth to the emperor, Nanjing, Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, and Yangzhou prefectures, all of which have fallen."

"What?" Chongzhen's eyes turned dark, his head became dizzy, and he almost fell to the ground.

The eunuch said with tears in his eyes: "The Huai'an Prefecture urgently came over. Yangzhou had surrendered and Zhenjiang had surrendered. Hutchison soldiers entered the river mouth. All the prefectures along the river surrendered without fighting. After surrendering to the two prefectures in Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, the ships went to the river outside Nanjing. Caojiang soldiers collapsed without fighting. The Duke of Wei, Xincheng Bo, Chengyi Bo, guarded eunuchs and six ministries surrendered outside Jubao Gate, kneeled to welcome Hutchison soldiers into Nanjing. When Huai'an Prefecture received the news, Nanjing had been lost for several days."

The palace fell into a dead silence, and Chongzhen's eyes also burst into tears. He looked at Zhou Hou and the two of them in deep despair for a moment.

Zhou Hou was born in a small family, and did not know much about national affairs, and it was the limit to know that there was a family in the south. She always trusted her husband and felt that the emperor was a good emperor who was a talented and strategic person who was dedicated to state affairs. Why was the situation so far in front of her? She didn't understand and couldn't figure it out.

For Chongzhen, all his ambitions were vain. He felt that God was unfair and deeply hated that his father, grandfather and brother had been lazy in national affairs over the years, and even to this uncontrollable level now.

In the north, Taiyuan, Xi'an, Datong, Xuanfu, Yan'an and Huaiqing, nearly 300 counties have all been lost, and five military towns have changed hands, which is already extremely critical.

When Susong Changyang Town and Nanjing are lost, Huai'an will definitely be out of protection. If Fengyang and other places are lost, it means that the core areas in the south such as Nanzhili are also easily taken away by Hutchison.

This time, the essence of the Ming Dynasty, the martial arts area in the north, and the economic zone in the south were instantly lost. If someone was disturbed in the stomach twice, it would almost hurt the heart, and his life would be in the morning.

"Don't be afraid if you have nothing to do." The emperor said softly to the queen: "There are still Ji Liao, Shandong, Henan, and the capital. As long as these places are not lost, there is still a chance. Yuan Chonghuan still has more than 100,000 elite troops, and it is available for emergency use."

Although the emperor is almost a fool, it is not without reason.

Cao Huachun and the imperial sign withdrew together. After going to the outside room, Cao Huachun whispered to the other party: "You have nothing to say yet, right?"

"I didn't dare to say it just now, I'm afraid the emperor can't hold on."

"Speak quickly."

"Ji Town has closed the doors. Ji Town Governor Hei Yunlong led his troops to surrender. Hutchison soldiers entered from Da'ankou, Xifengkou, and Gubeikou. Santengying and Jizhou have all changed hands. Baoding General Yang Guozhu heard that it was not stable. In addition, Mao Long died suddenly in Dongjiang Town, and his town had surrendered and agreed to the news."

"Oh, how could this be?"

"Yes, I can't figure it out... As soon as Hutchison came in, everyone rushed to surrender. No matter how much the Ming Dynasty was, it was a big country, and there was no chance for a million troops? These people were still grateful for the country's favor. It would be better to go to surrender the new master like this."

"There is no need to talk about this." Cao Huachun smiled bitterly and said, "The situation in the capital has long been unstable. Except for the Duke of the British and other Dukes, there are many people who want to surrender."

The Imperial Ban brand boldly said, "What do you think of Cao Daban?"

"You mean?" Cao Huachun thought for a while, glanced at the eunuch, shook his head and said, "It's too early now, and we don't know what the emperor is thinking."

"The emperor is afraid he is still waiting for Yuan Chonghuan."

"He won't come."

Yuan Chonghuan confirmed the New Year before the New Year, and then delayed his trip in handling peace talks with the Donglu. Then, he made a vow to make a vow to make a vow. More than ten days were like hot water pouring snow to melt more than half of his strength. Many famous cities and towns changed hands, many relatives and generals and governors prepared various troops, and a large number of officials from prefectures and counties surrendered together, and local gentry and students also surrendered.

This situation can easily remind people of four words: the world is returning to the heart.

Under such a situation, Yuan Chonghuan did not surrender at the first time because of the dignity of famous ministers and ministers, as well as his own interests, rather than having too much to do with the emperor or the Ming Dynasty.

He holds more than 100,000 soldiers in his hand, and more than 60,000 of them are elite combat soldiers. He is well equipped and has a very solid defense area. He has a large number of red cannons, and many generals are fierce and difficult to control. Of course, he may want better and more treatment because he has enough chips.

Under such circumstances, even Cao Huachun understood that Yuan Chonghuan would not surrender as soon as possible, but hoped to offer a high price to Hutchison, which was inevitable.

"I heard that Yuan had abandoned the big and small Linghe Fort, Zuosuo, Tashan, Songshan and Xingshan Forts were also abandoned, and Jinzhou was also abandoned, leaving only hundreds of miles from Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan to Yongping."

"You know a lot." Cao Huachun said: "The core essence of Liao Town was originally in these hundreds of miles, with 400,000 people and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. A large amount of grain storage was all in Ningyuan and Guanmen to Yongping Prefecture. Only Zhao Shujian's tens of thousands of people in Jinzhou were soldiered. It was not a pity to abandon it. He did not abandon it in western Liaoning. He did not have so many soldiers and horses to Ji. When Ji Town was lost, Yuan Manzi's way was to defend Shanhaiguan. As long as his troops were there, he would be confident."

Cao Huachun shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that the emperor is still looking forward to Yuan Chonghuan's arrival, but he doesn't know that the first thing he wants is to protect himself, and then to seek status in the new dynasty, or to be independent, how could he come to rescue the Ming Dynasty?"

"When western Liaoning leaves, will the Donglu come?"

"It's better to come." Cao Huachun screamed: "There's a melee, Yuan Manzi's side, Donggu's side, and Hutchison's side, this is lively!"

"Even I called Cao Daban, I was moved, and I wanted to go and take a look."

"This battle is over and the dust has been settled."

"Who can win?"

"Huaji is great, and Donglu is also great, who knows?"

Cao Huachun said leisurely, but his heart was boiling. Indeed, it was determined that the Ming Dynasty and the country would decide that the war would take place in Shanhaiguan in the next few hundred years! Even if a eunuch was well-read in poetry and books, this battle would determine everything, like a gambler, and no one could regret it.

Hutchison did make too smooth progress, and he had already won Nanjing and was invincible. However, if the Eastern Barbarians were really that strong, tens of thousands of people swept the Hutchison army and occupied the north, which was the reappearance of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

How the overall situation will develop, a eunuch will be quite good.

...

"The Black Cloud Dragon Tribe has more than 10,000 people, and Yang Guozhu Tribe has more than 10,000 people, Yongping Prefecture has eliminated 10,000 old and weak, and more than 20,000 surrendered Ming Army can be used. It has been simply rectified and they have supplemented their food and salary."

Xia Xiping still looked calm and seemed to have no emotional changes.

The plan for the war this time was of course a credit to the General Staff Department. Because Sun Yao presided over the Xinpingbao War, his main plan was that Xia Xiping, who was in his twenties, was specifically responsible.

Now from the Western Front to the East Front and the South Front, it is a great situation. Due to its deep accumulation, Hutchison has almost no effort to achieve quite brilliant results.

The Western Route Army below attacked Sichuan, and some entered Henan from the pass to attack Luoyang, Kaifeng, Guide and other places. From one to two months, the war in the north ended.

On the east side, there was also the left wing. Some of the troops began to go to Zunhua and Tianjin, completely cutting off Emperor Chongzhen's escape route. Some of the Western Route Army set out, and they were also walking towards the road surrounding the capital through Zijing Pass.

The emperor had nowhere to go, and the capital was just around the corner.

After achieving such a great victory, Xia Xiping still looked calm and showed considerable cleverness.

Zhang Han looked at the thick arrows on the map. There was no enemy in front of him. Shandong Town was a group of beggar soldiers, a waste that even the peasant uprising army could not defeat. Denglai was also an empty shell. At this time, no Dongjiang soldiers came to garrison.

Henan Town is not much more powerful. The war below is to clean up the mess, and the challenge of the national destruction war is much more serious.

There have been many disasters in the north, and there are hungry people and thieves everywhere. The thieves gathered up, identified the useful ones and placed them in the place to maintain public order, disbanded some of them, killed some of them, and settled the bottom of the matter.

Then open warehouses and release grain to stabilize the overall situation, maintain the original ruling pattern before, slowly add new departments to enter the local ruling sequence, and change the original ruling pattern of the Ming Dynasty.

The era may change next year, and then there will be a magnitude test. The imperial examination will be conducted as usual. The next world may add examination content such as the law, calculation, and official examinations. The curtain of the imperial examination reform can be slowly opened.

What was placed in front of Zhang Han was the resistance forces in Ji Liao and others to be wiped out.

"Our unit is Li Laibin's unit of the First Guard Division, Ren Jing's unit of the Ninth Division, the Second Regiment of the First Regiment of the Lancers, the First Hunter Division, and the First Artillery Division, a total of more than 53,000 people. There are more than 10,000 baggage soldiers following and are responsible for logistics." Xia Xiping continued: "The other units may guard Jizhen, or go to Baoding, Tianjin, and Zhending to form a large-scale encirclement as soon as possible on the east and west sides of the capital and the south side. It is estimated that these more than 60,000 people will be heading to Shanhaiguan."—

I saw someone saying that the old writing was almost written because of the opening of a new book... I don’t know what to say, but it has been laid for a long time before, and several military towns in the western region have been infiltrated. The towns in the Hutchison Merchant Army, Xuanda Yulin, had known that they had been powerful, and the generals had long been flirting with Hutchison. Once the superior forces were suppressed, they would not surrender and fight with the Hutchison Merchant Army. Is it possible?

At this time, I can explain everything I can explain. If I continue, I will just write in detail. If I don’t have to end, I will be unsuccessful. If I shouldn’t end, I will be a bad eunuch. If I shouldn’t be knotted, it’s not OK to be knotted. It’s not OK to be knotted. In fact, when I was released at the end of the month, I was delayed by some things. Now I have written it to the end, like Go to the end, and it’s time to make a move. The overall situation has been decided and it’s over.

If you give some readers a bad feeling, I'm sorry here.
