I am the king of the dead

In the battle to defend the capital, Zhu Qiyu completely handed over the command to Yu Qian, including Jin Yiwei.

"The minister leads the order!" Yu Qian bowed his head and said.

He stood up straight and shouted loudly, "Shi Heng! Fan Guang! Lead [-] soldiers and horses to guard outside Desheng Gate."

"Captain Tao Jin takes [-] and guards the gate of Anding!"

"Liu An of Guangning received [-] and guarded outside Dongzhimen!"

"Uncle Wujin Zhu Ying took [-] and guarded outside Chaoyang Gate!"

"The Governor Liu Ju took [-] and guarded outside Xizhimen!"

……

"When facing the battle, we will ignore the army, and the one who retreats first will be killed! If the army is not in line with the general, the one who retreats first will be killed by the second team!"

"Your Majesty, please take courage, please lead the Jin Yiwei to inspect the defenses of the city gates, and the ministers and others will fight to the death outside the city, all the city gates should be closed, and there will be no retreat!"

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback for a moment, the task he was assigned was to guard the city gate... and the task was to guard the city gate and prevent the soldiers from entering the city.

He said with some regret: "I know..."

All he had to do was to close the city gates to prevent the soldiers from being defeated, and to force the army into the city first. This was an extremely cruel military order.

Zhu Qiyu knew a little more about the meaning of being kind and not in charge of soldiers.

How much courage does it take to fight the last stand and sink the boat?

"The commander of the last commander!" The nine gate guards shouted in unison, took the military talisman given by Yu Qian, and took the emperor's letter to treasure, and left the central army tent.

Zhu Qiyu stared blankly at the backs of many generals, and he murmured, "Aren't they afraid of death? Do they have no complaints for such a seemingly dead order?"

Xing An stood around, thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, in comparison, the humiliation of Tumu Fort's sudden change made the sergeants sleep and eat even more."

"Death is nothing but a corpse wrapped in horse leather, but as long as the Oara people succeed, the soldiers will not be able to sleep peacefully for a day."

Zhu Qiyu said blankly, "Is that so?"

He slowly walked out of the central army tent. He thought that there would be a school field encouragement such as the fall of soldiers in the battlefield, but there was no. The military camp was quiet. And go.

Even if there was a commotion, he pulled the ordnance out of the city.

None of these sergeants wanted to escape?

Maybe they could escape when they were recruited from the garrison in various places.

On the way to Beijing, they can also escape.

Even in the tenth regiment battalion, they could escape and leave openly.

After all, Zhu Qiyu said that deserters should not be killed.

The officials of the household department were located outside the barracks and could change their nationality at any time.

But those immature faces did not have fear on their faces. Instead, they held the hooked scythe, shield, short soldiers and fire guns in their hands, and silently went out of the city.

The two sides of the street were filled with the people of Ming Dynasty. Even in the frosty days of late autumn, they were still wearing straw sandals and linen shirts. They looked at the sergeants who kept passing by, and seemed to want to find their family members from inside.

But they know in their hearts that there are 20 capital camps, 50 civilian husbands, broken halberds and civil fortresses, and every family wears sackcloth and mourning.

They just find the shadow of their son-in-law from these sergeants.

But their son died, or became a horse bandit in Kyushu outside the mountain, or was defeated.

"The cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, fame and fortune, dust and soil!"

"Looking at Shenzhou, the people are suffering, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren!"

Suddenly someone in the crowd began to hum, and Zhu Qiyu listened quietly. He was full of doubts and asked, "What are the people singing?"

"Look at the world, make all the hustlers, and make up for the incompleteness of heaven!"

"Good man, don't be parents, just for the common people, not for the sake of the Lord!"

Xing'an held his breath and listened to a few sentences. The humming voices of the people became louder and more tidy, and the sound waves were rolling, like waves of monstrous waves that kept spreading out from the crowd, centered on the crowd.

He moved to Zhu Qiyu's side and shouted loudly: "It's the song of the Red Scarf, it was sung by the Red Scarf Army..."

Zhu Qiyu couldn't hear the next words clearly. He was now shrouded in the sky-shattering singing, and the rolling sound seemed to throw him into the sky.

"While holding the steel knife 99, kill Hu'er and stop."

"I am a dignified man, why are Tartars making horses and cattle."

"The strong man drinks the wine in the bowl, and he travels thousands of miles without turning back."

"The golden drums are roaring in unison, and the oath not to break the yellow dragon will never end."

……

The singing has been slowly decreasing after the sergeants filed out from the nine gates.

Zhu Qiyu stared blankly at this scene, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The sergeants and people of Daming have never been sorry for the emperor of Daming, but the emperor of Daming is sorry for them, these lovely people.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager said that the ministers have been waiting in the palace for a long time, and asked when your majesty will go to the palace." Cheng Jing came out, and the crowd was so crowded that he could not get close to the tenth regiment camp.

"Let's go now." Zhu Qiyu got on his horse and headed towards the Fengtian Temple. After the military arrangements were completed, it was natural to arrange civil affairs. After the Yizhou military report was delivered yesterday, Zhu Qiyu first came to the tenth regiment battalion before preparing to go to the temple.

Before he got to Fengtian Temple, he heard Zhentian's cry, and when he walked in to take a look, he couldn't help scratching his head.

The ministers are holding their heads and crying loudly...

Zhu Qiyu frowned, and looked at the scene of this group of demons dancing with disgust.

"Crying in the night and dawn, can you cry the people of Woraz to death!" Zhu Qiyu flicked his sleeves and walked onto the platform, sitting on the dragon chair.

Chapter 46 Engage the enemy, of course

Zhu Qiyu's reprimand lingered on the Fengtian Hall, and the whimpering gradually disappeared, and the Fengtian Hall finally became quieter.

The Empress Dowager Sun and the Queen's Sister-in-Law Qian, sitting behind the bead curtain, were relieved when they saw Zhu Qiyu arriving at Fengtian Palace, and weeping in the courtroom. The two of them really didn't know what to do.

No matter what they said, the courtiers ignored them.

The most important thing is that the head of the civil service, Wang Zhi and others, are all looking at the nose and the nose at the heart. They look like old monks who have entered into meditation. .

Zhu Qiyu sat on the throne and said loudly: "If there is any more crying, the general of the Han will immediately fork him out, with a hundred sticks, and move three thousand miles."

"What's it like to cry and cry!"

"Let's also lead the Oara people to divide into three groups, and break through the Zijing Pass all the way. Now we will cross Yizhou to Liangxiang, and tomorrow we will reach Lugou Bridge."

"The other way to attack Xuanfu, Yang Wang has a good plan, this way was forced to turn back to Zijingguan, planning to break the south entrance of Juyongguan and occupy Juyongguan."

"On the last route, Beigukou occupied Miyun, and also led an army of [-] horses and marched to Miyun to join forces with the Beigukou Wara people."

"At Jieshi, there were more than 15 cavalry soldiers and more than [-] infantry fighting under the capital city."

This is the latest battle report that Zhu Qiyu received. Miyun fell and Beigukou fell.

Beigukou is located in the north direction of Daming, and it is a pass of the Yanshan defense line.

This is the main road of transportation. According to Yu Qian, the Jin man Wanyan Zongwang used Beigukou to attack Youzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is now Shuntianfu.

He had already been carried away by the victory in the battle of Tumubao, but at this time he was still the general who led the Oirat people to the north and south.

Even though he was impatient, he was still relaxed, and got two passes of Beigukou and Zijingguan.

Even if you retreat, you can not only withdraw from Zijing Pass and Juyong Pass, but also exit through Beigukou.

Before winning, thinking about defeat first is something that a general must consider first.

Yu Qian's strategy of closing the door and hitting the dog did not fail, but just proved its effectiveness. As long as Yang Hongteng made a move, he would have to retreat first.

If Beigukou is so easy to walk, why would it be necessary to be full of bags at the inner three gates?

All because Beigukou is not conducive to the transfer of large-scale troops, and it is too difficult to leave.

Zhu Qiyu read the battle report, and the entire courtroom was noisy, and Xing'an immediately shouted loudly: "Silence!"

"If you have something to play, you can do your own thing if you have nothing to do. You can rest assured before the machete of the Menggu people cuts you on the head!" Zhu Qiyu looked at the group of timid ministers, but he was not angry.

Yu Qian, Shi Heng, Fan Guang, Liu An, all kinds of nobles and relatives took the reserve troops of the Ming army, and walked out of the city and settled in the houses outside the city, ready to attract the main force and prevent the lives of Gyeonggi and Hebei from being ruined.

This group of civil servants is crying and crying here, it's really annoying!

Literati is boneless.

Wang Zhi, the head of the civil service, stood up and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is not afraid of danger, and you can be regarded as a model of human masters."

"The ruler, the ceremonial, the people, the shadow, the ceremonial is the shadow."

"The ruler is the rock, the people are the water, and the rock is round and the water is round."

"The monarch is the source, the source is clear, the flow is clear, and the source is turbid, the flow is turbid."

"Your Majesty is like a high and lofty mountain, like the sun and the moon, and the minister thinks that the princes are afraid. It is entirely because His Majesty has not been to the Fengtian Temple for a long time in the ten regiment camp. also."

"Your Majesty is here, they will naturally not panic anymore."

This flattery is really an old sow with a fierce hood, a set of sets.

Zhu Qiyu seriously considered Wang Zhi's words, but actually felt that this large number of words were actually determining Zhu Qiyu's authority in the final analysis.

In fact, this is also the case. After Zhu Qiyu arrived at Fengtian Palace, he settled down.

"Wang Shangshu should not say such words of flattery." Zhu Qiyu was quite displeased with the word flattery.

Let the civil servants flatter them, and they can boast for days and nights in different ways, and they don't have to do anything.

They don't think they are shabby, and Zhu Qiyu also thinks they have bad mouth.

"Your Majesty said yes." Wang Zhi silently stepped back and stood firm.

"Jin Shangshu, how is the price of food in the capital now?" Zhu Qiyu asked about the people's livelihood plan. People regard food as their heaven. This food price seems to have stabilized since Jin Yiwei went to the East City of Chaoyangmen once.

Jin Lian took a step forward, thought about it, and said, "The price of rice and millet in the capital is stable, and it's normal for a stone to go up and down for seven dollars, and a slight fluctuation is normal."

Seven dollars?

It used to be four taels, and now seven money, it is indeed to stabilize the price of food.

These gang of profiteers, driving up prices for rare goods, made a lot of money, and when the war was over, they all had to go to the execution grounds.

Of course, Zhu Qiyu understands this truth in troubled times.

Yu Shiyue continued: "The prices of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are the same as usual, but because of the approaching soldiers of the Owaratians and merchants selling their goods, the price has dropped slightly."

"Your Majesty, the poetry clubs have been active recently, but they don't talk about the price of food. It can be seen that they are still full."

Zhu Qiyu almost laughed, nodded and said, "I see."

"Always pay attention. If someone is hoarding goods, they maliciously buy and sell it, and let Wucheng soldiers and Ma Si arrest them. If someone stops them, go to Lu Zhong, the Jinyiwei Yamen."

Jin Lian bowed his head and said, "The minister leads the order."

"Yu Shiyue, are pirates in the capital rampant?" Zhu Qiyu named Yu Shiyue, the minister of punishment.

Yu Shiyue bowed her head and said, "It's a little more quiet than usual. The military affairs are imminent, so it's better to use the heavy code. Usually, it's a small mistake. Now I'm afraid that it's more serious and strict. Generally speaking, the thief is still very afraid of death."

"Yu Shangshu asked the minister to assist the governor Wei Ying in defending the two gates of Desheng and Anding. It was also because there was no major event in the city, so I was relieved to let the minister do it."

Yu Shiyue helped defend Deshengmen and Andingmen. Of course Zhu Qiyu knew about this, and he nodded to signal Yu Shiyue to retire.

He thought about it for a long time, looked at Wang Zhi, the official minister of officials, and asked: "Wang Shangshu, I don't know, why are the ministers making noise in the hall?"

"Isn't this a big deal? Or is I just shallow? Didn't you see the danger lurking beneath the surface?"

Wang Zhi stood up again, bowed his head and said, "That's not it, it's nothing major, not even trivial."

"Then why are you crying?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.

This group of people... Is it simply because they are afraid?

Jin Lian held back his laughter, but he didn't say a word. In fact, it was the reason His Majesty had guessed, and the ministers were afraid.

"I didn't let you go to the city wall, and I didn't let you go out of the city to meet the enemies of the Oirat people. Just do your own thing." Zhu Qiyu stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the Wenhua Palace.

Xing'an shouted loudly: "Retreat."

"Respectfully send your majesty." Wang Zhi shouted loudly with his ministers and sent Zhu Qiyu away.

"Your Majesty, Yu Shangshu came to report outside Guangning Gate, and found a scout outside the city and asked if he would engage in battle." A Jin Yiwei wearing armor, but sprinted over and reported panting.
