Roaming in the world of film and television

Prepare for war.

The capital prepares for battle.

At the beginning of September, Man Gui and Hou Shilu obtained a secret decree to train the troops to be strong and strong within two months. A batch of bird guns and several red barbarian cannons.

The Hongyi Cannon is a sharp weapon for city defense and siege. Anyone with a little seniority in the army has seen it before. However, unlike the previous Hongyi Cannon, the newly shipped Hongyi Cannon is lighter in weight and more complicated in calibration equipment. It is even equipped with A wind force and wind direction detection instrument, as well as a new calibration method - taught by a special person from the Gunpowder Division of the Inner Court Military Warfare Bureau.

The bird gun is even more strange, with a trigger and a firing device that has never been seen before. Instead of being controlled by a matchlock, the explosives are ignited by flint.

This kind of flintlock gun has a fast rate of fire and high accuracy, which is more than one grade higher than the original matchlock gun, and there is an extra sleeve in the front, which can hold a bayonet. However, the number of flintlock guns is not large, tens of thousands of people The troops were only allocated one hundred guns, but the emperor's order was to use these tens of hundreds of flintlock guns to train a thousand-man pikemen.

Because the tone of the secret decree was very tough, Man Gui and Hou Shilu did not dare to neglect even if they had doubts. They cooperated with eunuchs who specialized in shooting and practiced spearmen and artillery day and night.

At the same time, a large number of Jinyi Wei Tiqi and Dongchang Fanyu rode out of the capital on fast horses and went south along the canal to frame and frame big businessmen and landlords in the area. If you pay enough money to let people go home, if you don't pay enough money to kill people.

It wasn't until this time that those thoughtful civil servants realized that the emperor's southern tour last year was really just indulging in pleasure? Or, like folk rumors, he went to Hangzhou to find the woman he liked when he was the King of Xin?

Maybe it's all a cover-up, otherwise, how could he be so precious to the local gentry on the southern tour, and now he has sent Jinyiwei Tiqi and Dongchangfan servants to extort money? The point is that "doubting the identity of the king and spreading rumors" is a crime to be imposed. Even the chief minister and the second minister of the cabinet have been beheaded and exterminated. What's the point of killing hundreds of local gentry?

In addition, Jinyi Wei Tiqi and Dongchang Fanyu will read out the holy decree when arresting people, calling on those poor peasants to expose the tax evasion and adultery of well-known squires and rich businessmen. In return, after killing the squires and rich businessmen The confiscated land will be divided equally among the whistleblowers.

For a while, the rich were in danger, and the poor were rejoicing. A large amount of money from house raids was transported to the capital along the waterway in boxes.

At the end of September, some veteran ministers made a memorial to accuse the emperor of acting recklessly, saying that it was an act of shaking the foundation of the country.

The answer of "Emperor Chongzhen" is that what I want is to shake the foundation of the country, because the Ming Dynasty has reached a precarious situation. Whether to take a dose of strong medicine, break it and then stand up, or wait for the day when it collapses in the wind and rain, it all depends on this toss , You civil servants, whether you choose to tide over the difficulties with me and destroy the entire Jurchen family, or continue to obey and obey, is up to you.

Then, the old official was beheaded and punished by the ten clans.

While killing the civil servants and the gentry group with the civil servants as the core, he tried his best to appease and reward the generals.

Afterwards, the first "knowledge of current affairs" hero who stood out was not the civil servants and military generals in the court, but the harem concubines headed by Empress Yi'an and the clan children who stayed in the capital. In order to show their support for the emperor, they voluntarily donated half of their salary to the treasury. To support the war in Liaodong and comfort the people in the disaster-stricken areas in the west.

Some smart people understood that everything the emperor did was to pave the way for large-scale wars. In the past, the Ming Dynasty focused on passive defense in the Liaodong battlefield. Now the emperor seems to have the intention to change the combat strategy. The rich and gentry group represented by him is the source of wealth in his eyes-the pigs must be fattened and killed.

Pulling generals, beating civil servants; equalizing fields, destroying squires; since the Gendarmerie battalion became famous in the first battle, and then fought against the capital division and wiped out the Ministry of War, he took command of all the Imperial Guards guarding the capital division. He has been engaged in large-scale military training, and at the same time, the troops have been cleaned of the children of aristocratic families with mixed seniority, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

Think about the killing of Han Kuang, Zhu Guozhen and others before. Maybe the rumor that the emperor is a counterfeit was deliberately released by the emperor himself, because only by engaging in "literary prison" can the civil service system be broken and shaken. After more than 200 years The largest interest group ever developed.

This emperor is so capable of tossing around!

On the one hand, he strengthened the centralization of power, on the one hand, divided civil servants and military generals, on the one hand, established a literary prison to kill the wealthy gentry to collect money, on the one hand, wooed and pensioned the common people to make the country safe, and on the other hand, prepared for large-scale wars. How impatient this guy is.

Of course they didn't know that Lin Yue's time in the world of "Xiu Chun Knife" was running out, and he had to deal with the Tartars in the next few months.

Some people admire his generosity, and naturally some people make sarcastic remarks. Since when did the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty be greatly weakened by the civil official group? The answer is the civil engineering change.

Ming Yingzong led the army to the Northern Expedition, but he was arrested by Wala. Could it be that the Emperor Chongzhen wanted to repeat the mistakes of Ming Yingzong after only two years since he ascended the throne?

The key is that during the Orthodox years, the Ming Dynasty was strong and strong, what about now?

At the beginning of October, the "Emperor Chongzhen" bestowed Shangfang swords to several confidant eunuchs from the gendarmerie battalion, and sent them to Zunhua, Santunying, Jimen, Sanhe and other places. No one in the Manchu court knew what they were doing, but since then The emperor was late, and all government affairs were handed over to the ceremonial supervisor and the learned eunuchs who had received the ideological guidance of the emperor, forming a eunuch cabinet.

It was not until mid-October that the ministers figured out the whereabouts of "Emperor Chongzhen"—there were tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital, and only more than 2,000 people were left to garrison. The rest were all pulled out of the capital by "Emperor Chongzhen" and entered Yanshan, Nanhaizi, Xi Suburban training.

Near the end of October, a "Chongzhen Emperor" fell off his horse and was injured during a drill. The news that he had been sent back to the Forbidden City for treatment spread throughout the capital. .

Those descendants of civil servants who had accumulated anger because of "Emperor Chongzhen" in the past few months clapped their hands and applauded. He fell off his horse and injured himself, he really hadn't finished his training yet, oh no, he fell ill before he even got out of his training.

...

The time came to October twenty-ninth.

Shanhaiguan General Military Mansion.

Superintendent Yuan Chonghuan walked back and forth in the hall, although his hands were behind his back, he looked like he was planning to win thousands of miles, but anyone who knew him knew that he was panicked, panicked...

He never expected that Huang Taiji bypassed the defense line of Guan Ningjin, took Mongolia, and then went south. On October 27, he broke through the defense lines of Hongshankou and Da'ankou Great Wall, and approached Santunying and Zunhua, two important military towns. .

Not long ago, he ordered his subordinate Zhao to lead the army to help, hoping to stabilize the situation before Huang Taiji occupied Zunhua.

Teacher Zhao rate said that he would definitely complete the task, but will things really go smoothly as expected?

He had a very bad premonition. Regarding the battle meeting just now, what Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang and others said made sense. Huang Taiji didn't know how much troops to invest and what the goal was. , Guan Ningjin's defense line is bound to be empty of troops. If the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain is really caught, the consequences will be serious. Then Jingshi...

I heard that in the past year, the emperor has strengthened the training of the imperial army, but how could those people fight against the Houjin iron cavalry.

However, given the current situation, it can only be adaptable. In short, we must first find out the way of Huang Taiji.

"Report..."

At this moment, I heard a cry from outside with three points of eagerness and seven points of panic. A person trotted in, half knelt on the ground and clasped his fists and said: "Master... Huang... Huang..."

"Why panic? Let's talk after thinking about it."

The followers around him are all those who have seen blood in battles. When have they panicked like they are now.

"Supervisor, it's not panic...it's the emperor, the emperor is here."

emperor?

Yuan Chonghuan's face changed when he heard the words.

Didn't the emperor hurt his waist and has been lying in bed all this time? How could it be possible to come to Shanhaiguan.

"You tell me again."

Just as the attendant was about to repeat, he heard footsteps outside. A young man in armor came from outside, followed by four guards with swords. Judging from the aura exuding from his body, he had killed at least dozens of people.

"Yuan Chonghuan."

Yuan Chonghuan naturally recognized the highly recognizable face. Although he didn't know why the emperor came to Shanhaiguan, but at this moment and the situation, all he could do was kneel down.

"Yuan Chonghuan has met the emperor, long live my emperor..."

"The military situation is urgent, so compliments will be avoided." Lin Yue glanced at his followers: "Did Huang Taiji break through the Great Wall's defenses?"

Yuan Chonghuan resigned after drinking and said in surprise: "How does the emperor know?"

You must know that the place where Huang Taiji attacked is located on the middle line between the capital and Shanhaiguan. There will not be a big time difference between when the news reaches him and the Forbidden City, and the distance from the capital to Shanhaiguan... Ma Kuai will take more than a day, unless the emperor When Taiji attacked the Great Wall defense line, the emperor was near Zunhua and Santunying, otherwise it would be difficult to know the military situation in front of him.

Lin Yue said: "Not only do I know that Huang Taiji breached the Great Wall, but I also know that you sent Zhao to lead 4,000 elite cavalry to Zunhua for help."

Yuan Chonghuan was startled again, wondering if there was an eyeliner placed by the emperor beside him?

"Yuan Chonghuan, you immediately send someone to chase after Zhao Liaojiao and give him my hand."

Lin Yuechong winked at the guard beside him, and the man handed over a letter.

"Your Majesty?" Yuan Chonghuan pondered as he looked at the things in his hands. It was related to military affairs, and he really wanted to know what was written in it.

"You can watch."

Hearing such a reply, he unfolded the letter before his eyes.

"Hou Jin dispatched 100,000 troops, and Zhao led them to go to Zunhua. The 4,000 fine cavalry will be subdued by Huang Taiji."

One side is the emperor's assertion, and the other is the content of the handbook. Yuan Chonghuan was dumbfounded after reading it.

"Your majesty, you... are you... Your majesty really want to do this?"
