Yukikoi

Chapter 17 War 1

On this day, there was heavy rain in the capital, and many wheat seedlings outside Beijing were destroyed. Zhu Ying ordered the water transportation to be expedited to support the huge grain demand of the capital.Zhu Ying lingered in the warm pavilion, anxiously waiting for the battle ahead.

"Your Majesty, the Manchus have really come!" said Zhang Qizhen, a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts.

Zhu Ying was worried about this matter while looking at the paper about Shuilao in Zhili.

"Quickly deploy troops to support the border!" Zhu Ying said without thinking.

Zhang Qizhen took out the dispatch from the Ministry of War in his sleeve, "Your Majesty, they are going to make a big move this time. The garrisons outside and inside the pass have all been mobilized." Zhu Ying shuddered, and the sight of Lin Zhixue suddenly jumped when she left. In his head, Zhu Ying was a little scared. "Let the forbidden soldiers of the capital go!"

"But, Your Majesty, it will take half a month to transfer to the border."

Zhu Ying slammed on the table, Zhang Qizhen was startled, "Oh~"

Zhu Ying's long sigh may be like the last breath of the empire, regretful but helpless.

"Then I'll go on the expedition myself!" Zhu Ying said.

Zhang Qizhen knelt on the ground and said, "You mustn't do it, Your Majesty. Now that the government has just started to improve, it's time to stabilize people's hearts. It's not the right time for the emperor to conquest himself."

Zhu Ying blushed and shouted at him, "Then what do you say!"

Zhang Qizhen knelt on the ground and said with tears, "We can only wait and see what happens, and then gather elite soldiers from all over the country to deploy defenses in the area from the capital to Shanhaiguan. Now the king of Qin and Lord Lin have a total of [-] elite soldiers, which will definitely be enough to deal with the barbarians in Liaodong. I hope your majesty will be relieved." .” This is also true, and now I can only endure it, and impatience is not the answer.But what he was worried about was Lin Zhixue. He sent him to the battlefield with his own hands. He thought he would be more at ease, but on the contrary, Zhu Ying couldn't leave him for a moment. Every time he was upset, he would always think of bullying him. .

Zhu Ying handed him the silk handkerchief, "I lost my temper, don't worry about it." Zhang Qizhen kowtowed heavily, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Tell the Ministry of Households to send an additional [-] salaries and [-] dans of grain to the border immediately!"

"One hundred thousand!" Zhang Qizhen said in surprise.

"Can't you get a hundred thousand?" Zhu Ying asked differently.

"To tell you the truth, don't say [-] yuan now. The fishing has been serious recently. Zhili's relief money has just been sent out, and now the household department doesn't even have [-] yuan in deposits!"

Zhu Ying never expected that such a great country would not even be able to pay a hundred thousand yuan in the end.Zhu Ying recalled this so-called great empire, and now it seems that it is really mocking.

"In this way, the family property of the Lin Party has been confiscated in Da Nei. There should be a lot. Take those." Zhu Ying waved his hand, "Go, go, let me be quiet."

"The minister resigns." Zhang Qizhen also sweated secretly. Lin Dang also spent a lot of property, and it is still very mysterious to collect [-] yuan.

Zhu Ying looked at the pattering rain outside the window, tears hurt her eyes, and the raindrops hit the stone steps in the corridor, crackling, "Zhixue, I miss you."

The sound of drums and trumpets resounded across the Liaoyuan border, and the five Manchu troops came from the mountain pass in the shape of five claws. The archers on the city wall were ready for battle, and the spear infantry in the city was ready to meet the enemy at any time.Among the crowd in the distance was a huge round carriage. King Qin knew that this was the camp of Khan Aguda.Most of the Manchus are good at riding horses, so most of the enemy's troops are cavalry, but the siege troops in the front are equipped with the latest artillery and have entered the range of the artillery shells. The king of Qin gave an order, and the 180 red cannons were as famous as the sky. Like a shooting star, it streaked across the sky and rushed towards the enemy's vanguard.They were not to be outdone, the artillery on both sides impacted recklessly, and every time they landed, the bursting soil rushed around, leaving a large pit that happened to be the grave of the soldiers.The remaining siege troops rushed towards the city gate under the double attack of shells and bows and arrows. The ladders and iron hooks were struggling to stick to the city wall, and then they were pushed down one by one cruelly. Stones, spears, and soldiers were like Ants fell from the walls like ants, screaming and roaring, flooding the sky.

At the time when the two-shot kill was in full swing, Aguda's cavalry suspended their offensive and retreated towards the mountain behind.King Qin narrowed his eyes and said, "Lin Zhixue is here."

Lin Zhixue's [-] troops assembled from behind the city and filled the battlefield outside the city.But the Manchu troops deliberately avoided the attack of the city defense troops, and led Lin Zhixue and King Qin's troops to the valley.The king of Qin ordered decisively that all troops stop attacking and return to the city to correct.

A Gu fought to see that it was not good for him to fight any longer, so he called for gold to withdraw after a while.

The news of the Manchu retreat was immediately sent to Zhu Ying's case, "The casualties were heavy. They took 5000 people and wiped out our [-] elite soldiers!" Zhu Ying said worriedly.But to his relief, Lin Zhixue was not injured. →_→He is a general, how could it be his turn to charge in person, and it is almost impossible to be injured, unless he is about to self-mutilate.

"Master Lin, Manchu is serious this time." King Qin said.

"Well, their combat effectiveness is indeed much higher than ours, but we are usually lax!" After this real battle with real swords and guns, Lin Zhixue clearly saw the true strength of the country's so-called elite soldiers, What Lin Zhixue was worried about was that since all the elite soldiers were like this, it was conceivable that there were motley troops in the Central Plains. Lin Zhixue looked at the southwest sky, thinking that Zhu Ying should have dinner now. Suddenly, Lin Zhixue My heart feels like being stabbed by an awl, why does it hurt?At this time, Lin Zhixue couldn't tell.

Zhu Ying convened a full cabinet meeting this time, because almost at the same time that the Manchus were tackling key problems, farmers in Zhili, Hebei, and Henan rose up.The reason is that the last flood disaster was far worse than what the local officials reported. Two batches of silver from the imperial court were embezzled and embezzled by officials at all levels, and sent to the common people, which was not enough at all.The scale of this time was never expected by Zhu Ying.

"How many people are there?" Zhu Ying asked.

The Minister of the Ministry of War said, "I estimate that there are about 6 to [-] people."

Zhu Ying said with a low smile, "60 to 80 yuan? Do you think I'm a fool! Let me tell you, it's [-] to [-] yuan! More than [-] county government offices in seven provinces have been robbed by them!"

"The emperor calm down!" All the ministers knelt down and said.

Zhu Ying saw clearly that even if the Lin Party was gone, the biggest threat to the country was not traitors, but corrupt officials, who were the enemies of the empire.But now, even Zhu Ying has no idea.

At this time, the academician Yang Shicheng suggested, "At this time, it is absolutely impossible to suppress. The government forced the people to rebel, and it has happened in all dynasties. If it is forced to suppress, I am afraid that the situation will become more and more difficult to control. The only way is to fight and appease. I will punish myself."

Zhu Ying sighed, "That's the only way..."

So a huge nationwide appeasement operation began. Money, food, and even officials and titles, the court would spare no expense. As long as Lin Zhixue's safety could be ensured, Zhu Ying would agree to anything.

However, there are still some rebels who refuse to accept the imperial court's order. This peasant rebel army is different from other armed forces. Seeing that he is a staff member who eats the imperial food, and that in the days of flooding, three members of his family were killed by corrupt officials. Li Xian, who has no hope for reality, can no longer bear this life of neither human nor ghost. , led a hundred or so young people from the village, and captured the local county government office effortlessly, and tens of thousands of people gathered in just over three months.Zhu Ying vaguely felt that this team would become a serious problem for the empire.

Lin Zhixue wrote a memorial to Zhu Ying. Zhu Ying loved to read Lin Zhixue's handwriting, although it was written about important military affairs at the border.Zhu Ying learned that although the two sides were full of people retreating from the battle this time, they did not hurt the atmosphere and were always on the initiative. Lin Zhixue hoped to send more red cannons and heavy firearms to support the combat effectiveness.

"You didn't even think about me at all? You didn't even mention a word!" Zhu Ying approved in the memorial, ready to play.Zhu Ying wrote in the replay, "Zhixue, I miss you very much."

"Mizuo, hand it over to Lin Zhixue in person."

"Yes!"
