Chapter 415: Soldiers Descend on the City


Sun Chengzong could feel the anger of the 'Heavenly Son of Heaven' in Zhu Xu's bones, and just as he was about to raise his hand, Sun Chuanting outside also hurriedly walked in.

With a simple salute, he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, there is a change in Jiannu, and the soldiers and horses are gathering on a large scale. ” Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, there was no surprise, Houjin had been waiting to move for a long time, but this was not the right time.

Zhu Xu's face was gloomy, with the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, a war on both sides would be able to hold on to it as long as it was in a short period of time, and if it was delayed, it would be a big trouble.

For the current Da Ming, any bit of unnecessary consumption is a risk.

Sun Chuanting already knew about the affairs of the south, and he also looked slightly worried, the Ming court was in full swing to carry out reforms, especially now, it can be said that it has reached a critical moment, any rash action may destroy the reform, or even interrupt the process.

Sun Chengzong saw Zhu Xu pondering, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, there is General Qin in the north, you should be worry-free, minister, you can go to Yun/Nan." ” Zhu Xu glanced up at him, did not speak, still thinking.

Zuo Liangyu of Yun/Nan can mobilize soldiers and horses from Yun/Nan, Hu/Guang provinces, adding up to 100,000, equipped with artillery, cavalry, and worry-free food and grass.

"Your Majesty."

Just as Zhu Xu was pondering, Shen Yongmao also strode in quickly.

Zhu Xu's expression changed slightly, what's wrong today?

Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting were also stunned, and turned their heads to look at Shen Yongmao.

Shen Yongmao didn't expect Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting to be there, and he couldn't care about it, so he raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, something happened in Shaanxi/West, Fu/Shui County was forcibly occupied by the rebels, the magistrate was killed, and the county army was slaughtered, and now the rebels have exceeded 10,000 people. ” Zhu Xu sighed lightly in his heart when he heard this, the thing he was worried about finally came, on the one hand, the disaster situation was getting more and more serious, and on the other hand, it was a never-ending war of attrition, no matter how thick the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was, it would be slowly drained of blood.

Without waiting for Zhu Xu's thoughts to settle down, Liu Shimin took a notebook, rolled his eyes, and hurriedly handed it to Zhu Xu, saying, "Your Majesty, the transcript of the Southern Sailor." ” Zhu Xu frowned, glanced at him, took the notebook and flipped through it, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Sun Chengzong and the three of them all looked at Zhu Xu, and when they saw his expression, they also had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Zhu Xu put down the notebook, looked at the three of them, and said with an inexplicable smile: "Xiong Wencan played, the Francophone people invaded Taiwan/Bay, and were repelled by the sailors, but there may be a comeback, and the red-haired warship also appeared not far overseas." ” Sun Chengzong's three people all looked solemn, and now except for Meng/Gu, they did not go south, and beacon smoke rose on all sides of the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Chuanting lowered his head, thought for a while, and then raised his hand decisively and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to disturb more, the priority is to deal with it first, and the Yunnan/South side will first let Zuo Liangyuxin reprimand Burma/Dian, and then prepare for war while dragging it."

Shaanxi/West, Yang He should not be able to deal with it, so he can let Hong Chengchou quell the rebellion, and with Hong Chengchou's troops, it is enough to suppress the riots in Shaanxi/West.

On the Taiwan/Bay side, if the emperor is not at ease, he can let the northern sailors also go south.

The most important thing now is the movement of Jiannu. ” When Shen Yongmao heard this, he also agreed: "What Master Sun said is very true, whether it is red hair, or Burmese/Dian, it is a disease of scabies, and the one who really threatens my Ming is still Jiannu!"

” Sun Chengzong was quite worried about the affairs of Shaanxi/West, and Qin Tianjian said that the disaster would become more and more serious, and if it lasted for several years, the pressure on the imperial court would continue to increase, so that a cycle would be formed, and the more severe the disaster, the more powerless the imperial court, which would lead to more and more civil unrest.

This is a huge hidden worry, and it has already passed Jiannu!

However, obviously, the emperor and Shen Yongmao and the others did not realize that it was too early to speak now, and they did not speak.

Zhu Xu agreed with Sun Chuanting's words, although it was the exile army that overthrew the Ming Dynasty in history, but it was the Manchu Qing who occupied the world.

Zhu Xu saw that the opinions of the three of them tended to be the same, so he clapped his hand and said, "Then so be it, the Ministry of War will draft an order to Shaanxi/West, Yun/South, Fu/Jian, and then recruit Qin Liangyu, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui, Zhang Zhiji, Jin Guoqi and others into the palace to discuss." ” "Yes."

Sun Chengzong raised his hand at the same time.

The next day, in the General Staff, a cadre of civil servants and military generals in Beijing gathered, including Fu Changzong, the secretary of the household department, and Xu Dahua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Zhu Xu and his cadres surrounded the huge sand table, and Sun Chuanting stood there and introduced: "Your Majesty, don't worry about Liaodong, the only thing that Jiannu can break through now is to detour to Meng/Gu, two of which are the most suitable, one is Gu/Beikou, and the second is Xi/Fengkou, General Qin has made arrangements, and the Ministry of War has also checked, so it should be foolproof." ” Xu Dahua had never appeared on such an occasion, he was extremely excited, and he was eager to perform, raised his hand to Zhu Xu, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the cement made by the Ministry of Industry has also been given priority to the Ministry of War, this kind of cement is very hard, and the defense built is very strong, I believe that the cavalry of Jiannu cannot break it." ” These are just auxiliaries, the key is not here, but the officials tried their best to be praised, smiled and nodded: "Well, the Ministry of Industry has done a good job during this time, and the main tasks of the Ministry of Industry in the future, one is to build roads, and the other is to build ships!"

” Xu Dahua knew that he didn't have anything in front of Zhu Xu, so he seized the opportunity to behave, and said solemnly: "The minister obeys the order, the Ministry of Industry has planned several lines, and it will definitely be able to be completed within a year. ” Zhu Xu smiled, turned to Fu Changzong again, and said, "Uncle, can you keep up with the military supplies?"

” Fu Changzong was relatively much calmer, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the granary outside Beijing can call 500,000 stone grain, and the military salary department is vacant, and it can be transferred from the Huitong Commercial Bank, two million taels, and it can be prepared in three days." ” Zhu Xu was not surprised to hear it, but Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, Qin Liangyu, and even Xu Dahua were all secretly shocked, they didn't expect the emperor to prepare such a big belongings for the imperial court without making a sound, listening to the meaning of Fu Changzong's words, if he was given enough time, I was afraid that he would be able to prepare more!

The Apocalypse Dynasty, which has been set back a year or two, where does it have such great financial resources?

Zhu Xu also saw the surprise of Sun Chengzong and others, and his heart also moved, looking at Fu Changzong, Shen Yongmao said: "In this way, you will go back later, discuss it carefully, and jointly form a logistics supply yamen to supply the army." ” Shen Yongmao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Yes." ” Fu Changzong also nodded.

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he looked at Qin Liangyu again and said, "General Qin, what do you think?"

” Qin Liangyu has been preparing for the southward movement of Houjin since he entered Beijing, and he has already said in his stomach when he heard the words: "Your Majesty, there are 100,000 new troops, 30,000 cavalry, plus 60,000 battalions in the east and west of the Beijing Division, nearly 200,000 troops, plus 200 artillery pieces, and the minister is confident that he will defeat Jiannu!"

” Zhu Xu's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't want to be defeated, what I want is that once Jiannu crosses the Great Wall, they will have no return!"

” "Yes!"

Everyone raised their hands in unison.

The Ming Dynasty was in full swing, and the Houjin was also ready to fight, and 60,000 troops came out of Shenyang, bypassing the Jin/Zhou line and rushing straight to the Great Wall.

Amin rode a horse and ran to the front, this position originally belonged to Nurhachi and Huang Taiji.

But now that he is here, the cold wind is blowing in his face, but his heart is agitated, so that he can't help but want to look up to the sky and howl!

Zilharang, Dolgon followed him, the same horse galloping, this is the first time Dolgon led the army to the battle, Dordor is still young, he is in charge of two banners, in this army, is also very important.

The army of 60,000 was enough to sweep through Mongolia and Gu in the hands of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, Amin looked at the Great Wall that seemed far away, but was actually close at hand, and his eyes burst with blazing light!

"Two Baylor!"

A personal soldier rushed over and said loudly: "In another hour, you can reach the pass of the Ming Dynasty, rest for half an hour, and then you can attack!"

” Amin laughed and said loudly, "Okay, herald, all forward!"

” Zilharang's face was cold, and he looked at Amin, who was running wildly and almost out of control, with a worried look in his eyes.

The Ming Dynasty withdrew all the troops and horses at several important passes, and it was obvious that it was a trap, even if he had invincible cavalry, he was afraid that he would not return if he plunged into it.

He knew that he couldn't convince Amin, and that only Dolgon could convince him, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look over.

Dolgon was dressed in silver armor, imposing, looking ahead, I don't know if it was an illusion, Zilharang seemed to see the shadows of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji in Dolgon.

Two hours later, Amin's army appeared ten miles away from Xi/Fengkou, and Amin, Zilharang, and Dolgon marched together, looking at Xi/Fengkou from afar.

Zilharang knew that he couldn't bear it any longer, and said to Amin: "Erbel, this Xi/Fengkou is a trap, we must not fall for the Ming people!"

” Amin was in high spirits, pointed at the Xi/Fengkou with the horsewhip in his hand, and said loudly: "Benbeile must step on the Great Wall, countless slaves, grain, and manors are all Ben Khan's!"

” The corners of Zilharang's mouth twitched when he listened, and this 'Ben Khan' said it, he ignored it and insisted: "Erbeile, I still oppose the Chongxi/Fengkou attack. ” Dolgon suddenly spoke, pointing to a row of dense black dots above the Great Wall and said, "What is that?"

” Amin looked up, also stunned, and said, "Is it an eagle?"

” Zilharang looked there, his heart suddenly moved, remembering the last battle of Liaodong, his cavalry movements were always 'expected' by the Ming people, and said suspiciously: "I heard that in ancient times, some people raised eagles to observe the movements of the enemy. ” Amin sneered and said, "You will also believe those nonsense, but they are all tricks in the Ming book!"

” Zilharang didn't think it was true, but it had always haunted him.

Dorgon didn't say much, the black dots were lined up, they didn't move much, and they didn't look like eagles and birds.

Amin just replied casually, ignoring Zilharang, and pointed his horsewhip at the Great Wall, saying, "Rest for half an hour, and after half an hour, attack Jin/Shanling!"

” Jilharang, who was extremely nervous, breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, Amin did not get carried away, although the difference between Jin/Shanling and Gu/Beikou was less than thirty miles, it was enough to jump out of the trap of the Ming people.
