Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

Fengtian Temple.

Early in the morning, hundreds of officials had already discussed state affairs again, and there were many discussions, Zhu Cihong sat at the desk under the dragon chair, looking at the map and military newspapers repeatedly.

"Wang Pu was defeated and fled and lost Qingshan Pass, he should be beheaded

immediately!" "Yes, Wang Pu should be beheaded!" One

person spoke up, and many officials immediately echoed loudly.

For these shouts and scolding, Zhu Cihong looked at the map carefully, recalling the route of the Qing army's entry and robbery, he remembered that after Dolgon entered the customs from Qingshan Pass, he seemed to go straight to Shanhaiguan, wanting to mess up Shanhaiguan from the inside.

"Who are the main generals of the Qing army this time, and how many soldiers and horses are there?" Zhu

Cihong suddenly asked.

"Back to Your Highness, Dolgon, Yue Tuo, the military report from the front line, it is estimated that the Qing army has as many as 50,000, and now it has broken through thirteen cities in a row.

Sun Chengzong stood up and said: "The minister suggested that Yang Guozhu, the general soldier of Shanxi, be immediately transferred to Tongzhou, and at the same time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which was commanded by Qiqian in Linqing, should be transferred to reinforcements. "

Go and give orders.

Zhu Cihong rubbed his brows, to be honest, this was his first large-scale battle, and he was still a little inexperienced.

"What else do you have to do?

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he simply closed his eyes and thought about it, although he had never fought a war, but after all, he had seen a lot of ancient wars and modern wars, and he should be able to find a way to think about it.

"Immediately transfer Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou to reinforce him.

At this time, Chen Xinjia stood up.

"Negotiate peace.

Yang Sichang also stood up and said: "This time the Qing army is nothing more than coming in to rob again, the big deal is to give money to negotiate peace, let the Qing army retreat, and now the elimination of civil strife is higher than resisting the Qing army, only by solving the anti-thieves first, can we fight with the Qing army with all our might."

"Now that we are in the fourth or sixth corner, the strategy of opening the net on all sides has worked, and now we will transfer Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou over, won't that give the thieves a chance to breathe."

"Yang Sichang, you coward!" As

soon as Yang Sichang finished speaking, he was scolded.

"I am the Ming Dynasty, I didn't retreat, I didn't lose money to negotiate peace, you are a traitor if you do this!" Someone

took the lead, and some officials immediately stood up and pointed at Yang Sichang's nose and scolded together.

Yang Sichang, who scolded directly, retreated again and again, and couldn't return his mouth.

"Your Royal Highness, Yang Sichang's words are undoubtedly to increase the morale of others, destroy their own prestige, lose money and negotiate peace, there is a first time, there will be countless times, is it possible that every time the Qing army enters the customs, I have to pay compensation, and in the end, do I have to develop the road and cut the land?"

"The minister suggests that the Lord should be executed immediately!"

Shao Zhan Shi Huang Daozhou immediately jumped out and shouted angrily.

"Huang Daozhou!" Yang

Sichang heard the sentence of execution, and his face immediately changed greatly, he was scolded and scolded by the official in front of him, and it didn't matter if he was personally attacked, but now if he wants to die, it won't work.

"Have you learned all your life, and only learned a poisonous snake heart!" "

I am loyal to the monarch and straightforward, you can tell me, I have been founding the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and there is a precedent for reparations and peace!" Huang

Daozhou did not back down, pointed at Yang Sichang and scolded angrily: "Do you want to be the first person to disgrace Daming

!" "You ......!"

Yang Sichang was choked by this sentence and couldn't speak, so he could only open his eyes angrily.

Zhu Cihong opened his eyes and looked at the court upset, damn, he couldn't do anything, and he was the first to quarrel.

"Your Highness, this is Lu Xiangsheng's initiative to go to Beijing to ask for battle.

At this moment, Fan Jingwen saw His Royal Highness the Prince's troubled appearance, so he said, in fact, he was saying that it was better to use Lu Xiangsheng to fight against the Qing army, and there was no one better than this person anyway.

"Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou's plan to suppress thieves remains unchanged. Soon

, Zhu Cihong had an idea, these two people can't be transferred, otherwise the thief will immediately breathe and become bigger, Yang Sichang's words are not unreasonable, now the internal strife is greater than the external strife, as long as the Qing army's entry into the customs and robbery are blocked, everything will be easy to say.

What Huang Daozhou said is also reasonable, and it can't negotiate peace, if you really want to negotiate peace, it is to raise tigers for trouble, the Manchu Qing Dynasty originally came to grab money, and then negotiated peace and sent a sum of money over, isn't that nonsense, after that, the Qing army will only be more excessive and rampant every time.

In the original history, it was this war that became an important turning point in the demise of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen turned Sun Chuanting Hong Chengchou over to resist the Qing army, which directly led to Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and Chongzhen for 12 years to grow their strength again, and make chaos everywhere, and then the battle of Songjin, the Ming Dynasty was in a hurry, and both ends could not take care of it.

Then, there was no then, the generals who could fight in the Ming army, the dead died, the surrendered, Sun Chuanting was also imprisoned, and it took fifteen years before he was released.

"Quasi-Lu Xiang sheng, the officials issued an order, promote Lu Xiang to the governor of Jiliao, control all the reinforcements, let him find Wang Pu, execute on the spot, the household department and the military department, must ensure logistics and supplies, and work out marching tactics together!"

Zhu Cihong's eyes flashed, this trajectory is really consistent with history, Lu Xiangsheng died in Jiazhuang next year, although so, it can also support most of the year, and the Qing army Chongzhen returned to Guanwai at the end of the eleventh year.

Let's talk about it for a month like this, and then he will personally lead the officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion to go to battle, and if he doesn't go to the battlefield in person, the Beijing battalion will not be able to grow, and he Zhu Cihong will not be able to grow either, and there will be many battles to be fought in the future.

"The minister will also immediately prepare the materials for the war.

Ni Yuanlu also didn't say a word, and directly supported the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince, he still has some food in the household department, and last time one hundred and twenty carts of materials from eight families in Shanxi were sent to the household department, as well as His Royal Highness's two million taels of silver, although one million coins were used, then there was still one million not.

"Your Highness is wise. Zodiac

Zhou was satisfied with this move.

"Your Highness is wise.

Yang Sichang was also half satisfied, at least he didn't transfer Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou.

After retreating from the dynasty, Zhu Cihong went straight to Beijing.

As soon as I entered the Beijing camp, I found that I immediately shook the sky and roared, and tens of thousands of soldiers were practicing shirtless under the scorching sun, sweating like rain.

Zhu Cihong immediately met Gao Yi and a group of Beijing generals.

"How many elite soldiers can fight now?" Zhu

Cihong is most concerned about this now.

"About 30,000 people.

Gao Yi replied directly.

"How many soldiers in the Shenji Battalion can skillfully use flintlock pistols?" Zhu

Cihong looked at Zhang Wenjing, the general of the Shenji Battalion.

"Returning to His Highness, due to the lack of flintlock pistols, all of them take turns to practice Xi, but even so, there are three thousand people who can skillfully control flintlock pistols.

Zhang Wenjing said truthfully.

"How many people are there in the Shenji Battalion now, and how many Tiger Squat Cannons are there now?" "Back to Your Highness, the Shenji Battalion is equipped with a total of 10,000 people, and now it mainly trains firearms, and there are a total of 2,000 Tiger Squat Cannons

.

Zhang Wenjing said.

"You should know that the Qing army has entered the customs, and has broken through thirteen cities in a row, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil.

Zhu Cihong stood up, took out the military newspaper and threw it on the table.

"Your Highness, please let the Jingying fight

and kill the enemy!" Gao Yi was the first to stand up, roared, and his fighting spirit was high, and said: "I have the confidence to torture and kill this group of dogs!" Gao

Yi has been really idle and panicked for half a year, and the five hundred White Horse Yi soldiers are the same, they are brave and good at fighting, and now they are training recruits as a whole, which is really boring.

"Your Highness, we will also ask for battle!" Zhang

Wenjing also jumped out and shouted, now the Shenji Battalion is no longer the Shenji Battalion of the past, now everyone is physically strong, and under the high-intensity training every day, everyone's morale is high, coupled with the firearm of the flintlock pistol, the Shenji Battalion is confident that it can break the enemy.

"The ministers and others also ask for war!" Zhao

Wen, the general of the 3,000 battalion, and Chen Peng, the general of the 5th army battalion, also stood up and shouted without flinching, now they are being trained by Governor Gao Yi every day, and the bad Xi on their bodies have long disappeared, and now they only have a sincere heart to serve the country and a heart of loyalty to the monarch.

They were originally at the bottom of the Beijing camp, and the generals were all nobles, but since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince supervised the country and patrolled the Beijing camp, he killed all these people and kicked out the unqualified soldiers.

"Okay, the men in the Beijing camp are all good, and the palace also has expectations for you, but you have to see how the flintlock team of the Shenji Battalion is, and whether the fight is accurate, otherwise, don't be able to hit people on the battlefield, but it will be a shame.

Zhu Cihong said with a smile, as soon as these words came out, they immediately caused several people to laugh, and then everyone immediately came to the school field to check the gun team formed by the Shenji Battalion.

"All the soldiers see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose, Chitose Chitose Chitose!!" As

soon as Zhu Cihong entered the school, all the soldiers immediately stood up and saluted on one knee to His Royal Highness, roaring heartbreakingly, Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the sky of Jingying, and no one can shake it!
