Chapter 764: The Slaves of the Daming Tribulation Stained the Flags with Blood (1)

Although the 20,000 official troops of Shenji Camp guarded at Andingmen Gate in the capital were killed and injured in the big explosion just now, their remaining fighting spirit also disappeared with the explosion. They threw away their weapons and cried and fled their positions, spreading the news that Jiannu was about to enter the city. As the saying goes, good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, and the false news that Jiannu entered the capital was blown up in the capital. The Jiannu Tatars invaded the capital, which was already panicked in the Ming Dynasty, and they were immediately in panic about the end of the world. Officials from various departments who were still in court left their errands and ran home, and they wanted to find a place for their families to avoid disasters and safely.

Some people with a clever mind know that no one dares to go to the inner city of the palace, and that will be the next focus of Jiannu's attack. Those ministers who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty ran home to write suicide notes to prepare for their family to die. Although there were many ministers who wanted to die for their family, more were officials who wanted to escape. However, when Jiannu reached the capital, the capital had completely closed all the city gates, and only the Ministry of War could open half of the city gates. The officials who were afraid of death took their families to the safest place in the capital, that is, the "Five Blessings" warehouse and the "Yin Guangju" silver building opened by the Xuanwei Envoy Department of the Po Nu City in Beijing.

The officials of the Ponuhou, who had already sent their families and wealth to Zhangjiazhuang outside Xizhimen after the Jiannu Tartars broke through the pass. Although the guardrail of Zhangjiazhuang was not as tall as the capital, these officials knew that Jiannu was most afraid of the revenge of Ponuhou. As long as Jiannu led his troops and generals were not stupid, they would not dare to go to the territory of the Ponu army to die. Therefore, Zhangjiazhuang outside Xizhimen was once again crowded. When the news of Jiannu's attack on the capital was spreading, the brothels opened by the "Five Blessings" warehouse were full in broad daylight. Women who were usually dissatisfied with their husbands' visits to prostitutes only felt that their husbands could help their lives at critical moments when they were at critical moments of life and death.

The silver house of "Yin Guangju" is extremely busy. The rich people in the capital paid interest and had to deposit the silver house. Taking advantage of the situation to rob the slave army is a glorious tradition. Zheng Tai, who was in charge of Zhangjiazhuang, opened the cashier with confidence. The backyard of the five-acre "Yin Guangju" was filled with gold and silver. Zheng Tai asked people to keep the silver as low as possible when checking the quality of the silver. Under the heavy pressure of the news that Jiannu had entered the city, there were not many good things like protecting his life and protecting wealth. Earlier, Zheng Tai was also surprised when receiving Sun Chengzong's unruly transfer order. If Jiannu attacked the capital, it would not be in line with the order Zhang Dashui to protect the capital.

Although Mr. Sun's order did not comply with the rules, Zheng Tai still ordered Wu Chenggang, the Thousand General of the Mengshi Camp of Xuzhen, who came to support, to lead troops into the city. Zheng Tai was afraid that the Possess Army in the city would suffer losses, so he asked Wu Chenggang to take 1,300 cavalry first, and Zheng Tai himself took 500 guards to escort five artillery and ammunition trucks and then support them. As soon as Wu Chenggang entered the city, he realized that something was wrong. Xizhimen Street was completely blocked by the crowd. Fortunately, there was a city guard to lead the way for the army, and Wu Chenggang's army rushed north along the city wall road towards Andingmen. On the way, they met the collapsed officers and soldiers of the Ming army Shenji Camp, who were afraid of death, when they learned that the Possess Army was going to block the gap for their abandonment, they immediately shouted and turned around and ran back.

The soldiers of the Ponu Army Fengliu Camp had never participated in the Shaanxi bandit suppression war. They looked at the huge contrast between the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Camp in surprise. Fortunately, the waiter in the lead city explained the reasons to his brothers on the way, and the soldiers of the Ponu Army who got the answer proudly raised their chests. When the Qianzong Wu Cheng first arrived at Andingmen, the flying bridge road paved by the Jiannu Tatars outside the city had been completed 70%. The Ponu Army, who had always had no help in wars, drove away the official army at the gap and guarded the defense of Wanquandusi here. The Ponu Army had a close feeling of Wanquandusi's official army, because the armor on the Wanquandusi's official army was heavy armor of the Ponu Army, and without the approval of the General Zhang, the foreign army would not have obtained the Ponu Army's standard armor.

Because of this, the Pou Nu Army in the upper city was still very relieved to hand over the wings to this friendly army. General Qian, Wu Chenggang, was a man who only knew how to fight. He came to the front line and did not go to greet Sun Chengzong. He directly arranged the defense areas of the Pou Nu Army. Until Zheng Tai arrived at Andingmen, the Minister of War Sun Chengzong could arrange it casually. Shortly after Zheng Tai arrived at Andingmen, the three thousand white-sling soldiers of Shifu Xuanwei Department also came to Andingmen under the leadership of General Qin Liangyu. When Zheng Tai saw the banner of Shifu Xuanwei Department, his face instantly became very ugly. He bowed to Sun Chengzong and said, "Mr. Sun, what do you mean? Foreign enemies are in front of him, why did you arrange for Shifu Xuanwei Department to cut off the retreat of my Pou Nu Army?"

Sun Chengzong's heart sank in the face of Zheng Tai's doubts. Although he saw that there were only more than 1,000 people in the Puzi Army, the flag of the Puzi Army was inserted, and the behavior of paving the road outside the city wall stopped. This shows how powerful the Puzi Army was in front of Jiannu. In order to retain the two strong troops that could block the gap, Sun Chengzong had to lower his posture and advise Zheng Tai with kind words: "Master Zheng, the capital is in danger, please understand the difficulties of the imperial court. Foreign enemies should be united in good faith. As for the misunderstanding between the Your Army and Shi Quan Xuanwei Office, can we talk about it after the war?"

"You don't know, Mr. Sun, I am most afraid of someone placing a knife behind my back when fighting. Marshal Zhang has always been taboo to cooperate with malicious friendly forces when fighting. How can I fight with evil neighbors in my Pou Slave Army? There are inevitably casualties on the battlefield. I am extremely anxious if the wounded cannot withdraw from the city to treat it!"

Zheng Tai's words made Sun Chengzong fall into a brief silence, and it took him a while to recall it. Zheng Tai is not simple. He is not saying that the battlefield is now, and he is clearly suggesting something else. Before the battle started, Zheng Tai was thinking about the issue of the wounded evacuation. Zheng Tai said that he was unwilling to cooperate with Shi Qianxuan and Si Baigang soldiers, but the powerful artillery of the Breaking Slave Army was still transported to the city wall. Sun Chengzong, who had figured out Zheng Tai's flaw, smiled at Zheng Tai and said, "Master Zheng, you just say clearly, what do I need to do?"

Zheng Tai is still not as profound as the little fox Zhang Ping'an. Zheng Tai's behavior was betrayed what he thought in his heart. Seeing that his lies were exposed, Zheng Tai couldn't help but turn red. He thought in his heart that Sun Chengzong was indeed an old fox in the officialdom, and he saw through his tricks at once. However, Zheng Tai had strong bargaining chips in his hands, so he had the capital to bargain with Sun Chengzong. So Zheng Tai bowed to Sun Chengzong and said, "Mr. Sun, my Ponucheng Xuanwei Envoy has stored a large amount of preparation supplies in Xizhimen. Sun Chengzong needs to order the Xizhimen defenders to facilitate my Ponus to transport the wounded and military supplies."

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong cursed in his heart. When this was a hot season, the little fox subordinates did not forget to transport silver to Zhangjiazhuang. In fact, Sun Chengzong did not understand Zheng Tai's urgent mood to transport silver to Zhangjiazhuang. Now that the warehouse and silver building in Xizhimen are in liquidated, tens of millions of gold and silver would not be transferred to Zhangjiazhuang, and there would be a large amount of gold and silver that could not be collected in the future. Zheng Tai expected that the fire consumption earned by taking advantage of the opportunity to rob the cashier money this time would be more than one million silver. Zhangjiazhuang has a large territory, and many families of wealthy officials who want to escape. Zheng Tai also planned to transfer these people to Zhangjiazhuang, and the amount of Ping An silver collected was not a small amount. Zheng Tai deeply understood that he missed this once-in-a-half opportunity to make money. God knows when he would encounter such a good thing.

Sun Chengzong, who had been forced into a corner by Jiannu, had no other choice. It was the right way to keep the capital. Zheng Tai had a request, and Sun Chengzong could offer conditions. He wanted to take over the command of the Ponu Army in exchange for the Ministry of War to issue a document to Zheng Tai for the release of Xizhimen. Sun Chengzong was familiar with the temper and nature of the little fox, and he was quite experienced in dealing with the little fox's subordinates. After bargaining, Sun Chengzong agreed to issue a letter from the Ministry of War to release the Ponu City Xuanwei envoy to the Beijing Office of the Ponu City Xuanwei envoy to leave the city. He also agreed that Zheng Tai would take three days to transport military funds outside the city. On the battlefield, the Ponu Army could obey Sun Chengzong's orders, but he would never obey any dispatch of Qin Liangyu, the general of the Shiquan Xuanwei envoy.

Sometimes political transactions are quite dirty, and many things that cannot be taken up will reach compromises on specific occasions for their own interests. Just when Zheng Tai was satisfied with taking Sun Chengzong's order to go to the Ministry of War to improve official documents, the paving path that the Qing Han army temporarily paused outside the city wall began to accelerate again. Although Manguertai saw the banner of the Possess Army, he could also speculate that the Possessessessessessessessessed army would not have too many people in the capital. It is tens of millions of times better to rob the Ming Dynasty's capital than to rob other small castles. Early in the morning, it was clear that Zhangjiazhuang outside Xizhimen was rich, but no one dared to rob there. Maybe you can move the woman of the fox wolf on the grassland, Zhang Ping'an, but if you touch his wealth, he will have to fight you.

In the Ming Dynasty, Yan Zhuochen once reported that Zhangjiazhuang has a good defense and that the Possess Army may have many deadly weapons there. In the Ming Dynasty, everyone knows that Zhangjiazhuang is incredible wealth. If the Qing Dynasty had no cost, it might have captured Zhangjiazhuang, but no one could explain the direction after the capture of Zhangjiazhuang. For this reason, Manguertai, who presided over the offensive battle of the Ming Dynasty's capital, had never considered this issue at all. Not to mention attacking Zhangjiazhuang, Manguertai had never even thought about the attack on the Ming Dynasty capital at the beginning. If it weren't for the chance to blow up Andingmen Tower, Manguertai would have acted like a lie.
