One day later, the warning message reached Beijing.
The Ming Dynasty cabinet was shocked, and the chief minister Han Xu immediately reported it to Emperor Chongzhen. top novel, "Is it true that Jiannu entered Kouji Town?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked in surprise.
He could not imagine how Jiannu broke into the capital and threatened the capital.
"Long live, this time the slaves are said to be one hundred thousand, and they have broken through the Great Wall passes such as Longjing Pass in Da'ankou, Jizhen, and are approaching Zunhua.
The guards at various passes along the Great Wall and the governor of Zunhua have sent people to the capital to report the emergency."
Second Assistant Li Biao Said aside.
"Why did Jiannu come here this time?
Is he plundering the border town or capturing the capital."
Emperor Chongzhen's face was as dark as water.
The weakness of Ji Town made him lose all face.
In just three or two days, he could build hundreds of miles of the Great Wall and dozens of military forts.
Fall, this is Jizhen, which he regards as a barrier to the north of the capital.
"I don't know at the moment, but," Li Biao gritted his teeth and took the risk, "Long live, it's better to be prepared for emergencies.
Once Zunhua is lost, Jiannu can go south to the Gyeonggi Plain, and there will be no danger to defend."
Chongzhen closed his eyes and thought, and remained calm on the surface, but his heart was as turbulent as a stormy sea.
During the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the one who issued the order of King Qin must have been the one who had been trapped in the North for several years.
His reputation has not been good so far, and the gentry and the common people have continued to criticize him.
Could it be that my family is the second one?
Everyone's opinion wins gold.
"Long live, it's not too late.
If Jiannu really captures Zunhua, reaches the capital, and then mobilizes troops, I may be too late."
What Han Xu said shattered Chongzhen's last illusion, and he agreed to mobilize troops to serve the king.
"First of all, we must issue an order to Yuan Chonghuan, Governor of Jiliao, to mobilize troops from Liao Town to the capital."
Qian Longxi said.
Chongzhen heard this, and now he couldn't hear Yuan Chenghuan's name the most.
It was five years since Ping Liao, and now it's two years.
Jian Nu has already entered the capital.
Five years.
Is it time for the Ming Dynasty to perish?
"Yes, long live it.
Liao Town is the nearest strong town.
In addition, Xuanda, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Denglai and other border towns have also ordered to mobilize troops."
Li Biao said.
Chongzhen raised his hand angrily and said, "Immediately issue an order to all regions in the nine borders to mobilize elite troops to guard the capital."
The three cabinet ministers and Wang Chengen knelt down to receive the decree.
However, it did not wait for the decree of the Ming cabinet and the emperor to be issued.
Yuan Chenghuan, who knew about the news that Jiannu had entered Kouji Town, was so furious that he ordered Liao Town to organize troops to serve the king without waiting for the order from the Ministry of War and Cabinet.
In order to rush to Ji Town today and guard the capital, Yuan Chenghuan immediately set off for Jizhou with nearly 20,000 cavalry under his command.
These cavalry were accumulated by him with money and food in the past two years.
He knew that it would be ten thousand to fight against Jiannu without cavalry.
It was absolutely impossible.
He had finally built up this Liao Town Cavalry which was still worthy of a battle by moving around and borrowing money.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to deduct the military pay of Ji Town and postponed the renovation of various passes in Ji Town.
Unexpectedly, Jian Nu was attacking the weak Jizhen this time.

Invading the Ming Dynasty made him lose face.
In order to block the Jiannu as much as possible to the north of Zunhua, he ordered Zhao, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, to lead 4,000 cavalry first and drive directly to Zunhua.
He must hold on to Zunhua and protect the north gate of the capital before reinforcements from Liao Town arrived.
Yuan Chenghuan responded to Zhao Led Jiao, who is good at guarding the city, has high hopes.
Zhao Lijiao was not a brainless warrior.
He knew the importance of this trip.
Whether Jiannu could reach the capital city depended on whether he could hold Zunhua.
If Zunhua fell, Jiannu, even if he had just planned to plunder the border town, At this time, Pegasus will also head south, because the rich land of the Gyeonggi Plain is right in front of him.
Who can resist such a temptation.
Zhao led his troops to travel day and night, and finally arrived in Zunhua before Jiannu attacked Zunhua.
He went into the city to meet with Wang Yuanya, the governor of Zunhua, but the result was another incident.
The reason was that Wang Yuanya was not afraid of death and was very capable.
Due to the importance of Santun Camp, where the general troops of Zunhua's avant-garde castle were stationed, he ordered Zhao Zhijiao to immediately lead troops to reinforce Santun Camp.
He was quite confident in Zunhua's defense and believed that as long as Santun Camp was not lost, he could build The slaves did not dare to attack Zunhua on a large scale, not to mention that he had ordered to recruit young men and women inside and outside the city to defend the city.
Zhao led the teachings to be shocked.
He already knew that the Jiannu army broke through the border in several directions, but they were all aimed at Zunhua.
Garrisoning the Santun Camp could prevent the enemy from coming from both directions, but the enemy coming from the right wing was not at the Santun Camp.
On the way here, you can hit Zunhua directly.
Zhao led the army to persuade him in every possible way, but he refused.
As a military general, even if he was the second-rank commander of the imperial court, he could only obey the orders of the third-rank governor of Zunhua and rush to support the commander-in-chief's station in Jizhen, Santun camp.
When he led four thousand exhausted cavalry to the Santun camp, Zhu Guoyan, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, thought that the Liao soldiers were vicious and had a bad habit of robbing the people, so he did not allow Zhao to lead his troops into the city for fear that the Liao soldiers would plunder them. .
As for Jian Nu joining the invaders, he believed that the Santunying Xiongcheng built by Lord Qi, which was more than seven miles away and nearly three feet high, would definitely make Jian Nu return without success.
Of course, Zhu Guoyan still believed that establishing slaves was just a matter of raiding and plundering.
If he had known that Huang Taiji had to take down Santunying and Zunhua and then go straight to the capital, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen would not have acted like Meng Lang. , by this time, the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty still knew nothing about the purpose of establishing slaves and joining the invaders.
Zhao Shujiao felt aggrieved.
He had the heavy responsibility of Governor Yuan and rushed thousands of miles to help, but he was always rejected.
This made Zhao Shujiao, the commander-in-chief of Liao Town, furious.
He led his troops directly back to Zunhua, and he stopped serving.
Unfortunately, the result of all this trouble was that he could never return to Zunhua.
On the way back to Zunhua, the left-wing army of Zhenglan Banner, Zhenglan Banner, Zhengbai Banner and Blue Banner was stationed at Manggurtai Azig Abatedor.
Under the leadership of Gun Duoze, Zhao led his teaching staff to surround him.
"Master Zongzhen, I will die for my humble position.
I didn't expect that the slave-building brigade could attack from the rear."
The rear team's general Tian Houcheng was sweating, and he knelt on the ground in fear.
"That's it, the matter is over.
Now that the country is in crisis, I will leave your head to serve the country."
The successive setbacks made the gray-haired Zhao Lijiao look even more haggard, but he did not change his amiable demeanor of leading troops.
"Thank you, sir, for not killing me."
Tian Houcheng burst into tears.
Zhao led his troops to look around, and deputy general Tang Kui joined general Fan Juting in guerrilla attack and Zhang Xiao's guerrilla attack on Bailu people. . . . , are all old men who have followed me for many years, "Everyone, we have worked together for many years.
It is our town's fault that we are trapped in a tight siege this time."
Zhao led the teacher and bowed his hands in salute.
"No sir, Sir Zhao has fought fiercely with Jiannu for decades and is the pillar of Liaodong.
We are lucky enough to follow you, how can we dare to have any grudges."
Deputy General Tang Kui knelt to the ground, and the other generals followed suit.

"Everyone, please stand up."
Zhao Shujiao personally helped up his subordinates one by one.
"Jian Nu is cruel.
They massacred cities and villages in Liaodong.
Now they are approaching the capital of our Ming Dynasty.
Seeing the tragedy of Liaodong repeated in the hinterland of our Ming Dynasty, can all the generals join me in a decisive battle with Jian Nu?"
Zhao led the teachings passionately.
"I am willing to go."
Everyone responded in unison.
"Okay, after decades of life, today is the happiest.
This town would like to thank you all."
Zhao led the teacher and bowed.
Everyone hurriedly bowed in return.
Itai'a is sitting on a horse, wearing fish scale armor, which Elu ripped off from a Ming army guerrilla.
Well made and majestic.
He looked at the Ming army's formation opposite and saw a big flag leading the way, that of Liaodong Commander-in-Chief.
The flag with the word Zhao means Jinzhou Zhao.
It was filled with Ming army cavalry, covering the field opposite.
Of course he knew the reputation of Jinzhou Zhao.
He was good at defending the city.
In the past few years, the old and new Khans and the Baylors had not taken advantage of him.
Guard Ningyuan and guard Jinzhou.
The Eight Banners Army suffered a lot, but at the moment, the Ming Dynasty city defender was facing the elite soldiers of the Three Banners in the wild, and he was bound to lose.
Itea looked at the majestic figure of his Ama Eruan sitting on a horse in front of him, and felt at ease.
Lu You followed the guard's west gate with a long sword in his hand and looked towards the battlefield to the west.
More than a thousand Han flag soldiers were moving with the left wing army.
Their jobs were to take care of the baggage, clean the battlefield and look after the livestock.
Because they had just entered the Ming Dynasty, they had very few livestock, so they were a little leisurely.
However, after the war, cleaning the battlefield was a hard job.
Brother Lu You knew that bloody scenes were inevitable.
"Master Fang, I heard that the one being surrounded is General Zhao of Liao Town.
Do you think he can escape?"
Lu Youshan asked with a smile.
"The Ming army opposite is only a few thousand.
Our army of three banners plus more than 20,000 Mongolian barbarians.
Can you tell us whether people can escape?"
Fang Ximen curled his lips disdainfully and then thought of something, "I said, there is a road, don't help Ming "People are worried."
He looked around, "Be careful if someone reports you as a collaborator.
It doesn't matter if you die, don't implicate Mr.
Fang and me."
"Master Fang, you don't know how brave you are.
I'm just asking.
I have no intention of collaborating with the enemy."
Lu You replied with a playful smile.
Fang Ximen used his hands to find his way, "Boy, when I'm out in the army, Master Fang, I have to bow my head and bow down to serve the ladies.

You, kid, be careful."
The Han army's farming station where they were located was exempted from most of the land tax.
This allowed each farming station to finally settle down and finally be able to survive.
However, they immediately received the order to gather troops for the expedition, and the Han army's farming station drew Ding Sanqian, all have families, and those without family members cannot go on an expedition.
So Lu You came here as Fang Ximen's retinue.
The dull horn sounded, and the vests of Zhengbai Banner and Zhenglan Banner spurred their horses to a trot.
As their respective Niulu'e true leaders urged them to approach the Ming army from both sides, Xiangbai Banner and Mongolian Waifan attacked from the flanks.
The Ming army, led by generals, also came towards the Jiannu army formation.
At a distance of nearly a hundred steps, both sides opened and closed their bows and sprayed out arrows.
The front lines of Jiannu were all armored soldiers, and most of the arrows shot by riding bows were hung on the armor.
However, some soldiers who were hit by arrows fell off their horses and were trampled by the horses behind them, while the Ming army only wore leather armor and cotton.
A, the Ming army continues to suffer casualties, the battle formation is damaged, and a hundred steps is just three volleys of bows and arrows.
About twenty steps closer, the Liaozhen cavalry fired one after another with three-eyed muskets.
This caused many Jiannu casualties and the Jiannu army formations were also damaged.
The military formations of both sides collided with each other with a loud bang, and people on both sides were constantly being hacked.
Dismounting, the sound of people shouting and horses neighing echoed throughout the wilderness.
Of course, most of the casualties were Ming cavalry.
The Ming army, which was originally inferior in horse fighting, faced off against the Eight Banners Jia soldiers and suffered serious losses.
This is the most ironic scene.
The cavalry of the wealthy Ming Dynasty wore simple armor such as leather armor with their whole bodies.
Jujia's Jiannujia soldiers fought to the death, who was the rich side, and where did the Ming Dynasty's money and food go?
In just one meal, the Ming army's front formation was shattered and fell out of formation, while the Jiannu soldiers penetrated deep into the Ming army's formation.
Zhao Shujiao knew that if he did not break through the enemy's formation as soon as possible, he would have to fight hard and die during the encirclement.
He looked at the five hundred servants around him.
This was the housekeeping force that he had spent all his money and resources to prepare.
Maqiao Tangyuan was the old servant who followed him with more than 30 cavalry to regain the Central Guard Station.
Now there are only five people with all beards and tails.
The other three are serving as errands in the mansion.
The two youngest ones still follow him to do things. kill.
"Maqiao Tangyuan, are the servants ready?"
Zhao Shujiao asked.
"Master, the formation of the family soldiers is complete.
We are just waiting for the master's order.
We will follow him through fire and water."
Ma Qiao, the forty-something leader of the servants, said loudly with his hands raised.
"Okay, when we attack the slave formation, we will either die or live."
Zhao Shujiao took out his Yanling knife and slashed it.
Ma Qiao gave the order, and a hundred servants in the front row, each holding a three-eyed blunderbuss, urged the horse forward.
The other servants urged their horses to follow with swords and guns in hand, and hundreds of people charged forward in unison.
