Chapter 93 No trump card in hand

The sky gradually darkened, and Hu Guang finally put down the various memorials in his hands, stretched out, and couldn't help but sigh.

There was no other reason, but because he was worried about money, he checked the financial and tax situation of Ming Dynasty. At this time, he couldn't help but want to sneer at the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it was out of concern for the people or a matter of vision, he actually came up with a bizarre system that would be unbelievable to future generations.

There is also Zhang Juzheng, who is passed down to future generations, and it is impossible not to complain. There is no problem with unified taxation and only cash receipts are taels, but he has never thought about how inconvenient it would be if the price of physical silver taels is low? Statistics like 0.0001 taels of silver can be found everywhere in various memorials.

Hu Guang lowered his head and looked at a lot of information that he had not read yet. He couldn't help but rub his forehead, thinking, should he call that person to the capital first?

"Your Majesty, with the Manchu soldiers who have experienced battles guarding the capital, the capital will be fine."

Hearing this, Hu Guang turned to look at Wang Chengen, who still looked immature. He was on duty in place of Cao Huachun, and he probably sighed when he saw him, thinking it was for city defense.

Yes, Jianlu is outside now! Hu Guang thought about it and asked Wang Chengen: "How is it going at the Ministry of Industry?"

"Back to Your Majesty, there was a report half an hour ago. At present, about one-third of the city's defenses have been completed. The Manchu Army is mobilizing troops and arranging the defense of the rest of the city." Wang Chengen replied slightly nervously. After all, this was the first time. Royal rotation.

In the war, you still have to trust Comrade Mangui, Hu Guang thought in his heart, and nodded: "Pass the order, let Li Fengxiang and Cao Huachun cooperate with Manqing, and not miss the city defense!"

"My slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen responded quickly after hearing this.

Hu Guang sat back on the throne and consciously went into the chat group to check the situation. Gao Yingyuan left the Jianlu camp outside the city. The timing was not very good, so he could not know the general information about the Jianlu camp outside the city.

Mrs. Liu didn’t leave a message, so it’s probably nothing. According to what she said before, it should be the calm before the storm, right? I hope Changli can survive the next wave of fierce attacks by Jianlu.

Hu Guang was too lazy to read the messages written by Ruhua and Ma Fugui in the group. There was a message from Liu Xingzuo in the working group, saying that Sun Chengzong had received the reward for not accepting it all night, and he would send an army led by Zu Dashou to rescue Changli early tomorrow morning. This was good news.

He glanced at the lower left corner of the chat group and saw the achievement value: 2564. The achievement value is high, but he is not interested in adding people at this time. At the end of the day, there is a big court meeting, a visit to the city in person, and an afternoon of reading ancient prose. He is really tired.

The night gradually deepened. Hu Guang had his dinner and went to bed early without inviting Concubine Tian.

The moon was as dim as a thin eyebrow, and the cold wind from Siberia was howling and raging. The temperature at night seemed extremely cold, making people unable to move. The Ming troops who were on duty on top of the city all huddled together, trying to minimize their exposed skin.

Outside the city, using the cover of darkness, the entire Jianlu army mobilized. Everyone found a bag in their hands, filled it with soil, and lined up to dump it on the moat. The sound alerted the Ming army on the top of the city. Unable to see clearly what was going on outside the city, they could only shoot arrows and fire from time to time, but there was always silence outside the city, not even a scream.

By midnight, except for the movement in the direction of Deshengmen, the rest of the place seemed very quiet, making people unable to help but doze off.

Suddenly, at a dark city wall, many flying hooks were thrown from outside the city, and the sound of "ding, ding, ding" was heard continuously. While the defenders at the head of the city were still in a daze, there were sounds of flying hooks coming from the battlements. Jianlu came out one by one.

They all wore only leather armor, or had knives in their mouths, or weapons on their backs. They all had ferocious faces. They grabbed the ropes on the flying hooks and climbed up. They jumped over the battlements and landed on the top of the city. , and then charged towards the panic-stricken city defenders with a ferocious smile.

On this section of the city wall, more ladders were erected, and more and more prisoners swarmed up to the top of the city, and then fought on both sides of the city wall. They killed people everywhere and set fires everywhere. In just a blink of an eye, there were corpses of Ming soldiers everywhere. The houses in the city were burning, the city gates were opened, and countless Jianlu cavalry galloped in and rushed towards the Forbidden City.

"It's over, it's over, let Jianlu attack in!" Hu Guang was sweating profusely and suddenly went crazy, shouting loudly, "I am a time traveler, I am the protagonist, it is impossible, it is impossible to lose like this Come on, give me a knife, I'm going to kill the prisoners, I'm He-Man..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw a prisoner breaking into the palace. It was Obai, the so-called first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He smiled cruelly and slashed at him with his sword.

"Ah..." Hu Guang screamed and sat up from the bed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen's panicked face appeared on the edge of the bed.

Hu Guang looked at him a little dazedly, then turned around and looked around, listened carefully, and suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart, was this something he was thinking about every day and dreaming about at night?

But luckily it was just a dream. His grandma's was so realistic! Hu Guang thought about it, and reached out to take the towel handed by a palace maid. After wiping his sweat, he didn't sleep anymore. He simply got out of bed and asked, "What time is it now? How is the situation at the top of the city?"

"Your Majesty, it's three o'clock in the morning, and it's still early before dawn." Wang Chengen followed Hu Guang and replied, "There were sounds of artillery and muskets from time to time half an hour ago. It seems that there was movement among the Jianlu soldiers, and they were captured by the Manchu soldiers. Repulsed.”

When Hu Guang heard this, he knew that Jianlu wanted to fill in the moat. If Mangui knew this in advance, he would naturally be alert and take corresponding measures, right?

At this time, he actually wanted to go to the city to see it in person. But when I thought about it, if I wanted to go there, I would definitely disturb a large area, so after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

However, the nightmare just now was still vivid in his mind, so Hu Guang issued an edict: "Pass the edict and let Manqing pay attention to building prisoners and stealing the city with flying hooks!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed immediately after hearing this.

However, Hu Guang quickly frowned, and then ordered: "Forget it, no need. I have reminded Man Qing before, so there is no need to remind him again in the middle of the night."

After hearing this, Wang Chengen agreed again, then took a peek at Hu Guang's face and said with concern: "Your Majesty, it's still early before dawn, why don't you take a nap?"

Hu Guang turned his head and looked out the window. It was dark. He listened carefully and heard the whistling of the cold wind. He nodded and said, "Okay!"

At the same time, he also felt a little emotional in his heart. In the face of a powerful enemy, he really couldn't be calm and calm! Thinking about it more carefully, I realized that this was also the reason why I had no trump card in my hand and was completely in a mess. Just imagine, if you had an elite ace army in hand, would you still not be calm and have such a nightmare?

Thinking like this, Hu Guang became even more determined: after this battle, the first thing to do is to rebuild the Beijing Camp!

Thanks to Xiaoyuan for the reward! ! !
