Chapter 244 The traitor is not a cold wind in October, a little biting.Emperor Chongzhen was dressed in single clothes, but he felt hot and boring.Although he is not very experienced in politics, he also knows that now that Huang Taiji has entered the Beijing Division, what else is there to discuss?
The robbers broke down the door, and the only way to resist was to resist.The problem, however, is that national wars are not family wars.The messenger who is responsible for leading the army is a very oily messenger, of course, this messenger is not easy to do, everyone is happy if he wins, and if he loses, he loses his official position and goes to the knight, which is light, and he may lose his life.The question of the choice of the leader of the troops has been arguing for a morning, and there is still no conclusion.In fact, these problems lie with Emperor Chongzhen, and the more he does not express his position, it shows that there is room for negotiation in this matter, and the chaos in the court is inseparable from his appeasement and connivance.In normal times, there is no problem with party disputes, disputes, and differences, but when there is a war, everyone should think in one place and work hard in one place.If Chongzhen is a domineering emperor, he should directly make a decision and end this meaningless command of the army.No matter how bad it is, it's better than nothing.Just like Zhao Shujiao, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, he received a report that he did not collect at night, and found that a large army of Houjin was approaching Zunhua, without any order, he directly ordered nine thousand foot horses and went to Zunhua.However, the problem is that although Zunhua and Shanhaiguan are separated by one line, they belong to two sets of system management, Shanhaiguan belongs to the Jiliao Governor Frontier Army System, and Zhu Guoyan, the chief military officer of the Jizhou Central Association, is subordinate to the border defense system of the Ministry of War.Zhu Guoyan is acting in accordance with the regulations, of course, some people will say that things are urgent and follow power, but when the military attaches are all holding their tails and behaving as people, this will leave a handle and take responsibility.What's more, the Santun camp is a permanent military camp, which is equivalent to a military city, and the army that enters it will not be able to accommodate it at all.With the tradition of the Ming military generals pitting their teammates, Zhu Guoyan is not worried about Zhao Jiao's rate, he can't be sure, did Zhao Shujiao secretly surrender Houjin to come over to deceive the city?
Of course, Zhu Guoyan is not a villain's heart, and he spends the belly of a gentleman, such a thing is too common in the late Ming Dynasty.In this way, Zhao Shujiao, who was only traveling lightly, could not get supplies, and it was very embarrassing to deal with.If it is said that Zhao Shujiao was killed by Zhu Guoyan, in fact, it is better to say that he was killed by the system of the Ming Dynasty's pit father, and the fate of containing Zhao Shujiao and friendly troops is too common in Liaodong, whether it is the Battle of Hunhe, or the Battle of Salhu, including the Battle of Liuhe, it is a lesson from the past.Chongzhen did not coordinate the command system of the imperial court, which caused the tragedy of Zhao Shujiao.Fortunately, in this time and space, Sun Chengzong served as the governor of Jiliao, and did not transfer the soldiers and horses from under Zhao Shujiao's men, and Quan Xu also asked Xuanyingwei to sell 5,000 sets of blades and equipment under Zhao Shujiao's command in a cheap way, although Abatai, Azig, Zierharang, and Yue Tuo each led a total of more than 7,000 people to surround Zhao Shujiao under Zunhua City.The two sides fought for a day, and the result was embarrassing, Houjin actually did not gnaw Zhao Shujiao, but lost nearly 1,000 soldiers, of course, Zhao Shujiao's losses were greater than Houjin, and the loss of more than 2,000 men and horses, however, according to the tradition of the Ming army, this should be regarded as a big victory.Until the afternoon of the eighth day of October, Chongzhen's IQ was finally online, and he hurriedly ordered Sun Chengzong and Sun Ge to command all the armies and resist the enemy to the north of Tongzhou.…… Although Beijing is only more than 400 miles away from Zunhua, however, for news 400 miles away, it has become completely out of shape when it reaches Beijing.Although there are various rumors about Houjin's breakthrough in the streets and alleys, most of them are sensational.What Jiannu tens of thousands of horses, breaking through the pass, where they passed, there was not a single grass left.What Emperor Taiji can soar through the clouds and fog, move mountains and seas, and pass the Great Wall, as if it were a fictitious ......
In fact, if it weren't for Chongzhen's abolition of the post station system, news like this, more than 400 miles, would not take a few days at all, and in just one day, according to the speed of 25 miles per hour, it would be possible to arrive in more than ten hours at most.The problem was that the consequences of the abolition of the post station began to appear, and in just four hundred miles, it was successively transmitted to the capital by civilian caravans or private messengers.Quan Xu received more detailed information, Zhao led his religion to Zunhua on October 2, and fought with Houjin on the 3rd and 4th, but both sides were very restrained.At this time, Huang Taiji was also afraid of beating wolves with hemp rods, especially Zhao Shujiao's command suddenly increased nearly a thousand firearms, which were more powerful than the Ming army's standard firecrackers, and the range was longer, which made Houjin suffer greatly.Although the Houjin cavalry is unparalleled, but in the case of the array, it is not easy to break the formation, and the Ming army is in a formation and shoots against it, and both sides are exchanging lives.Although the equipment of the Ming army is poor, it is better than the Houjin army, the Houjin army is actually polarized, the white armor soldiers, the red armor soldiers and the escort army, the equipment is good, but the general infantry, as well as the conquest of the Haixi, the East China Sea, the savage Jurchen Eight Banners walking, called idle personnel, not counted in the number of ding, nor wearing armor, such personnel, although they are not people, in fact, the combat effectiveness is not bad.After all, when people are poor, they have to work hard, the poorer they are, the harder they work, and the richer they are, the more they spare their lives.Zhao Shujiao is to take a stupid method, with the west city of Zunhua City as the rear, along the city array, 4,000 cavalry arch to guard the left and right wings, the artillery on the city wall can also provide certain support to Zhao Shujiao.As a result, the two sides were in a stalemate for five days, until the eighth day of October, when Zhao Shujiao lost three or four thousand men and horses, and the army still collapsed......
Jeon Wook looked at this information and let out a long sigh.obviously knew the result, but when the result came, he still didn't feel good.However, Quan Xu has no official position and can't do anything at all.Lu Xiangsheng led more than 10,000 young people from the Daimyo Mansion to the north to King Qin, at that time, it was already the end of the second year of Chongzhen, and at that time, more than a dozen prefectures and counties in the two prefectures of Beijing and the division had fallen into ruins.The noisy sound came from the street outside, Quan Xu climbed up to the attic, looking at the street, this is hundreds of people fleeing when they hear the news, dragging their families with their mouths, adults screaming, children crying, a scene of doomsday.Jingshi has not been conquered, these phenomena show that the people have no confidence in the Ming Dynasty.Jeon Wook's expression was a little ugly.Sanniang said: "Xianggong, do we want to go back to the Daimyo's Mansion?"
”"The situation has not deteriorated to that point!""
However, once the situation gets bad to that point, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if I want to!"
Sanniang was a little anxious: "Those people in the shadow guard, I'm afraid they are not Jiannu's opponents!"
”After the death of Zhao Shujiao, the whole army collapsed, of course, the equipment that Quan Xu half sold and half gave away also fell into the hands of Hou Jin, this is for sure, the fire gun made of seamless steel pipe is far stronger than the ordinary fire gun, the air tightness is better, and the range is longer in the case of the same charge.Even if you add fifty percent more gunpowder, it will not explode, and it is not impossible to make this kind of gunpowder explode, at least five times more gunpowder needs to be added.This doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that the counties around Jingshi have been looted, and the recorded Liangxiang and Gu'an have all been slaughtered, and Luanzhou and Yongping were also slaughtered, and it was Amin who did it.Although they have no good impression of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, the people are innocent.Quan Xu is not qualified to lead the people to clear the wilderness, and there is no way to organize the people to retreat.made Quan Xu indifferent, and he couldn't sit down."
Shen Liangcai, let him come to see me by doing everything!"
…… Although it is said that the news of the slaughter of the Jinzhou Hall in Liangxiang attracted the idea of the government and the imperial court because of the Houjin breakthrough, in fact, this is not because the Jin merchants are unwilling to make a noise, the main thing is that there are more than 50 real Tartars in it, and their outfits are too obvious.Once noticed, they are in even greater trouble.Even so, it doesn't mean that no one has paid attention to the case.At least Liu Qiao, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, asked people to investigate secretly and took away all the files of Shuntian Mansion.In the Yamen of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town, a group of small officials carefully looked through all the information, and one of them, Fang Tiesheng of a hundred households, bowed down and said: "Strange ......"
"What is strange?"
”"More than fifty of these corpses are Jiannu!""
Jiannu?""
Yes, although they are unrecognizable and unrecognizable, their hair and sideburns are often cut, and they are definitely not disguised!"
Liu Qiao got up and said, "Let's go, go and see the corpse!"
”The corpse stopped by the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen was only a part, Liu Qiao lifted the cover cloth of a corpse, and saw that this corpse had no scars all over his body, of course, in the middle of his forehead, except for a blood hole."
What caused this?
Stab?
Or a needle?
”Liu Qiao was about to cover the corpse cloth when suddenly a yellow, orange and orange thing rolled down, although Fang Tiesheng didn't know what it was, he guessed that this should be the key to solving the case.Although Fang Tiesheng didn't know about these shells, Liu Qiao did.He had seen it in the Daimyo's Mansion, when Jeon Woo used a strange object to shoot out a fire dragon and shoot the entire wall into pieces.Although the bullets of the submachine gun are different from the bullets of the light machine gun, and the difference in appearance is also very obvious, Liu Qiao is sure that this must be done by Quan Xu.Jeon Wook is not only capable, the key is that he also has motivation.Quan Xu's bank escorted the money to transport the silver, and with Quan Xu's character, he would definitely not swallow this breath."
What's even more strange is that the guild hall is so guarded, and there is no resistance at all."
Fang Tiesheng frowned and said, "All of them were killed in their sleep, could it be said that they were poisoned?"
However, this method was too violent, and even the servants, subordinates, and maids were not spared. ”Liu Qiao's face changed slightly.In fact, he didn't know that in Quan Xu's eyes, Jin Shang and these people colluded with Houjin, which was tantamount to being a traitor.Since it is a traitor, it is not a person.There is no psychological burden at all.When you kill a chicken, do you consider how the chicken feels?
When eating a fish, do you consider the feelings of the fish?
