Ming Dynasty: The opening spoiler: Chongzhen is the king who lost his country

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the first reaction of officials was not to confirm the treatment, but to conceal it, if there was no way to conceal it, it would be reported to the court, so Zunhua was not very far from the Beijing Division, but the court did not know the news in advance, and it was not until the 30th that the news reached the court.

Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet at that time, was a native of Puzhou, felt that the situation was serious, and did not dare to delay, so he immediately met with Emperor Chongzhen.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was taken aback, and his first reaction was what Yun Zheng said: Jiannu made a detour to invade.

So he told Han Yi what he thought.

However, Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, had a different opinion: "Your Majesty, Jiannu is far away in Liaodong, and there is Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, how can he stay away from his lair?"

"What about what do you think?"

"The ministers and cabinet colleagues all thought that the Mongol tribes were knocking on the border and plundering in winter, and they must have their own plans to follow the example of Altan Khan's invasion of Gyeonggi in the 29th year of Jiajing. "

Emperor Chongzhen stopped talking, after all, what Yun Zheng said was the words of a family, but the matter of Altan Khan was the pain of the Ming court, and it was the second attack on the capital after the "Tumubao Change".

If the Mongol tribes follow Altan Khan's example this time, they will definitely invade Jingshi.

But if it is a detour by the main force of Jiannu, it will be a good opportunity for Ning Tieqi to go straight to Shenyang.

In exchange for the other, I am afraid that Jiannu will not be able to afford to lose.

Han Yi saw that Emperor Chongzhen didn't speak, so he had to urge: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, should enter the pass to intercept the Mongolian Tartars, so as to prevent a repetition of the events of the past." "

Emperor Chongzhen was really difficult to choose, and wanted to ask Yun Zheng, but he was very unwilling.

If you ask Yun Zheng whenever you have a problem, then he, the emperor, is too wasteful.

And he has always felt that even if Jiannu detours to Zunhua, as long as he can stop Jiannu in Zunhua, or even drag him near Jingshi, as soon as King Qin's army arrives, he can gather and annihilate Jiannu in a battle.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen asked in a deep voice: "Are you very sure that the enemy who is coming is the Mongol Tartar?"

This is to pack the ticket, Han Yi hesitated, in case it wasn't, the emperor said the wrong thing, maybe all the black pots would have to be carried by himself at that time.

In the end, he had to order the military department Shangshu Wang to investigate the situation as soon as possible.

On the first day of November, the influx of refugees from the capital also began to stir up, and in order to prevent accidents, the capital began to impose martial law.

In the afternoon, it was finally learned that it was Jiannu and the Mongol tribes who invaded, but the number of people was still unknown, saying 10,000, 20,000, 100,000, and 200,000.

Emperor Chongzhen was very angry, what is this doing, the number of prisoners is so different, and the countermeasures to be taken are completely different.

The Ministry of War, the cabinet proposed the article Chen is to transfer the Jiliao Governor Yuan Chonghuan to enter the pass and retreat from the enemy, because the strongest combat power among the invading thieves is Jiannu. Yuan Chonghuan is familiar with Liao affairs, has been dealing with Jiannu for a long time, and is more familiar with the situation.

However, there are other voices, saying that Sun Chengzong, the former Liaodong Jingluo, is also familiar with Jiannu, and his qualifications are older than Yuan Chonghuan.

Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, retorted that Sun Chengzong had been at home for a long time, and the current suitable person for the defense of Gyeonggi was the current Jiliao Governor Yuan Chonghuan.

The reason why Han Yi recommended Yuan Chonghuan so much was selfish, because he was Yuan Chonghuan's "seat teacher", and there was a slave in charge of Yuan Chonghuan in the Tartars.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that if he sent Yuan Chonghuan to attack Shenyang, in case he came to attack the Tartars, it would be the Jiannu division and the Mongolian Tartars, and the main force of the Jiannu was waiting for the Guanning army in Shenyang, and he was afraid that the Guanning army would go and not return.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the previous idea, thinking about it was a wonderful plan, but it really wanted to be implemented, but there were many restrictions, and it became empty talk in a blink of an eye.

If Yun Zheng is here, he will definitely say that the detour to Zunhua is the main force of Jiannu.

But so what? No matter how much Chongzhen believed in Yun Zheng, he didn't dare to gamble! The consequences of losing the bet were too serious!

Therefore, in the end, Emperor Chongzhen gave up his previous ideas, and according to the opinions of the current ministers, he finally made Yuan Chonghuan to lead the defense of Gyeonggi, and at the same time ordered Sun Chengzong to enter the court.

This is the safest way!

It can only be said that even if Yun Zheng crossed over and gave Chongzhen a warning in advance, the inertia of history is too great, and it cannot be changed just by a few reminders from Yun Zheng.

......

On the morning of the second day of the first day of November, Zhao led 4,000 Guanning iron cavalry, after three days and nights, rushed 340 miles, and arrived at a distance of 10 miles from the Santun camp.

All the soldiers took this opportunity to dismount and rest, eat dry food, and feed the horses.

After about half an hour, the spirits of the soldiers were basically relaxed.

In a soldier in the northeast corner of the team, there is a military commander, surnamed Zhu, named Yuanzhong, in his hometown brave and aggressive, because of the uneven fight and missed a bully seriously injured, and the bully is huge, although Zhu Yuanzhong is reasonable, he was still sentenced to be a military household in Liaodong, and later accumulated merit and was promoted to the commander of the army.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhong had nothing to do with his brave personality, and his face was full of sweat.

I couldn't help it, so I walked in front of the general manager and explained the reason, it turned out to be diarrhea, and I wanted to go to the convenience.

This is that everyone has three urgency, and there is no way, so let him go and come back quickly.

Just when it was convenient to hide in the hills on the side, a horse explorer reported to Zhao that no Tartars were found on the front line of the Santun camp, and the Santun camp was still the banner of the Ming army.

Zhao Shujiao was relieved, but fortunately he was not captured by the Tartars.

In that case, go into the city and rest.

Therefore, the regrouped army hastened to the Santun camp.

Zhu Yuanzhong heard the sound of assembly at a convenient time, but his stomach couldn't get along with him, and he couldn't stand up, so he had to comfort himself that he was done with convenience and quickly whipped up and caught up with the large army.

However, it was said that Zhao led the army to Santun Camp, and sure enough, the Ming army flag fluttered in the city. Put your mind at ease and ask to enter the city to rest.

Zhu Guoyan, the chief soldier of Jizhen in the Santun camp, heard the sound of thunderous hooves early and stood on the corresponding city wall to watch the enemy situation.

When it was found that the banner of the word "Zhao" was flying, looking at its military situation, he knew that it was the Pingliao general Zhao who had taught it, and he also let go of his heart.

Naturally, the two adults began to talk.

Zhao Shujiao said: "Our army is galloping in the starry night, and the people and horses are tired, so we open the door and enter the city to rest. "

Zhu Guoyan was helpless: "The Tartars are powerful, and the city gate has been blocked, so you can't enter." "

Speechless, Zhao Shujiao was silent for a while, and shouted: "I haven't seen the enemy here, do you know where he is going?"

"About two hours before the general appeared, the Tartars withdrew from the Santun camp to the direction of Zunhua. I thought that the Tartars saw that the Santun camp could not be captured, so they turned to attack Zunhua. "

"Do you know how many tartars have receded?"

Zhu Guoyan is not sure, because the Tartars didn't let him see the whole picture at all, so he estimated it himself, and said to Zhao Shujiao: "About four or five thousand, it is expected that one of them will not be able to attack Zunhua, so here the Tartars went to reinforcements." "

Zhao Shujiao thought in his heart, in this way, Zunhua is dangerous, here the Tartar has not been away for a long time, and the tail is chasing after him, maybe he can attack it unprepared. Therefore, he ordered the army to turn around and rush to the aid of Zunhua.
