Chapter 253 Sunset over the mountains

The handsome flag of Ying Yi is also the flag of Chi You. It is ink color overall with cloud patterns on the edge. The image of Chi You is embroidered with red thread, and the big word "Ying" in the middle is golden and brilliant.

In the night wind, flags and flags were fluttering, and Ying Yi sat down under the flag. Behind him, ten soldiers armed to the teeth stood like statues, holding their swords and keeping silent.

The sun and the moon alternate, light and dark cycle. From Wu Shi to Hai Shi, after passing the transition between the two days, the night becomes darker and darker when entering the next day, then Chou Shi, Yin Shi, Mao Shi, and at the end of Mao Shi, the night gradually fades, and before Chen Shi comes, the sky is already bright.

Ying Yi slowly stood up, and under Guancheng, the Tatar camp began to glow with vitality.

...

"It took ten days for a dog to walk three hundred miles. It was so fast. It made me wait for a while!"

Zhao Jin cursed and spat: "Brothers, Tang Tong ruined our big event. What do you think we should do?!"

"Cut him in!"

The soldiers shouted wildly, the sound shook the heaven and the earth.

"Yes. Hack him to death like a dog!" Zhao Jin's burly figure was shrouded in armor. He suddenly raised his spear: "Kill him. If you kill Tang Tong, you will treat him as a Tatar!"

When Tang Tong rushed to Qinghe Store like a turtle crawling, a battle with a huge disparity in military strength began under the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen.

Qinghe Store is located to the west of the capital, only more than ten miles away. A few days ago, an elite force of three thousand was stationed here, posing a huge threat to the capital. Emperor Chongzhen did not want to passively engage in battle, so he issued an edict to attack. The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army finally organized 30,000 soldiers and horses to go out of the city to fight, but they were defeated in an instant and returned in disgrace.

Just five days ago, Zhu Bingkun, Zheng Jiu, Zheng Wu, and Qian Yue under Ying Yi's command met in Liangxiang, south of the capital. The 45,000-strong army was so majestic that the people in the capital were horrified.

At that time, Emperor Chongzhen was uneasy, but he could only close the city gate tightly, not even daring to provoke the slightest. However, unexpectedly, this large army only stayed in Liangxiang for less than half a day, and then they all broke out of camp and passed by the capital and headed east.

This left Ming Ting confused and at the same time broke into a cold sweat of luck.

However, after this large army broke camp and went east, it left behind a force of 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed at Qinghedian, west of the capital.

Three thousand troops were no more than a mere handful, so the main force moved eastward, which gave Emperor Chongzhen the courage to take the initiative to send troops to attack.

However, what made Emperor Chongzhen look pale was that the remaining 30,000-strong Beijing camp was defeated by 3,000 rebels. It took less than half a day from leaving the city to retreating in defeat.

This army and horses were left by Zhu Bingkun and led by Zhao Jin. Their purpose was to target Tang Tong - Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to King Qin. However, the only remaining organized forces in the north were after Hou Xun's entire army was annihilated. Xuanda and Guan Ning garrison.

The only person who responded to King Qin was Tang Tong, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu. Datong's commander-in-chief Jiang Quan refused on the grounds that the Tatar Tumote Department had changed, not to mention Guan Ning's Liaodong Army.

This news was promptly transmitted to the army through Tian Hongyu's Jinyiwei. Although Zhu Bingkun did not think Tang Tong had any combat effectiveness, he would not let Tang Tong cause any trouble to the Northern Expedition.

Therefore, it is necessary to leave a force, whether it is to defeat Tang Tong, contain Tang Tong, or even deter the capital.

So Zhao Jin's troops were retained.

Zhao Jin's subordinates were naturally unwilling, but military orders were like mountains and they must be obeyed. Therefore, a wave of anger from Zhao Zhun and Tang Tong fell on him for no reason.

But what made Zhao Jin even more suffocated was that Tang Tong, that bitch who was said to be King Qin, had traveled only a few hundred miles from Xuanfu to the capital, but he actually walked ten days - five days before the armies of Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu met in Liangxiang. Days ago, Jin Yiwei sent a message.

After the meeting, Zhao Jin was ordered to station in Qinghedian. After waiting for another five days, Tang Tongcai arrived belatedly.

How can Zhao Jin not be angry?

He also wants to kill the Tatars!

But being held here for five days by this loser Tang Tong was really unlucky!

So as soon as Tang Tong's army arrived near Qinghedian, they were attacked by Zhao Jin's troops. Three thousand soldiers and horses came out to fight in formation. After only one round of fierce artillery fire, they defeated Tang Tong's front army. Tang Tong's front army collapsed, affecting the middle and rear armies. Zhao Jin did not wait for Zhao Jin to attack. , his army of tens of thousands collapsed!

Tang Tong fled in panic, but Zhao Jin persisted and chased him for hundreds of miles until he reached Baiyangkou, where he beheaded Tang Tong before leading his army back.

Zhao Jin's troops did not stop at Qinghedian, but went straight to the capital. Amid the trembling guard of the capital's defenders, they threw Tang Tong's head into the city, and then slowly and swaggeringly set up camp outside the capital gate.

The mission of Zhao Jin's headquarters was not only to prevent the Ming Dynasty King Qin's army from affecting Ying Yi's extermination of the Tatars entering the Pass, but also to deter and block the capital.

In Zhu Bingkun's view, Mingting was already vulnerable. But we must also be on guard against the entire Ming court escaping from the capital. This is not impossible.

In the original history, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty persuaded Emperor Chongzhen to flee south. Although Emperor Chongzhen did not agree, Zhu Bingkun did not know after all. He was just in case.

Once the Ming court fled south, the final results of the Northern Expedition would be greatly compromised. Neither Ying Yi nor all the generals under his command wanted to see such a result.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Chongzhen looked pale and looked in a trance. Suddenly Wang Chengen hurriedly walked in, and the messy footsteps woke up Emperor Chongzhen.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw Wang Chengen's haggard and frightened look, his heart skipped a beat and he said: "Banban..."

Wang Chengen fell to his knees with a pop and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, move the capital!"

Emperor Chongzhen was startled, his face changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly: "What did you say?! You slave dog!"

Wang Chengen knocked his head loudly: "Your Majesty! Tang Tong has been defeated! King Qin's army... is gone!" He cried loudly, with a sound like thunder, which shocked Emperor Chongzhen to stagger and almost fall.

"...You...what did you say?!" Emperor Chongzhen rushed down the steps and grabbed Wang Chengen: "What did you say?! What happened to King Qin's army? What happened to Tang Tong?!"

Wang Chengen was just speechless.

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a long time, then he left Wang Chengen dejectedly and suddenly smiled sadly: "Tang Tong was defeated, King Qin's army is gone? Emperor Hongwu, your descendants are unfilial!"

At this time, hurried and messy footsteps came from outside the palace, and several cabinet ministers were seen coming hand in hand, as if they were mourning for their heirs. Emperor Chongzhen smiled, but his expression turned dull.

He turned back and sat down, maintaining the dignity of an emperor, and said: "You ministers have not received the imperial edict, why do you come to see me?"

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the cabinet, took off his hat and kneeled on the ground: "I am guilty!"

The second assistant, Wu Di, burst into tears: "Your Majesty, move the capital!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them indifferently and said calmly for a long time: "Fortunately, our ancestors were virtuous and ruled the world. Hongwu expelled the Tartars and restored China, and Yongle moved the capital to the north. The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. I will not go anywhere, so I will it's here."
