As soon as the emperor came to Shoukang Palace, Zhang Yan knew that something big happened in Liaodong. She felt soft and thought of the previous emperor, so she softly persuaded her to persuade her pretentious brother-in-law.

Chongzhen hesitated a little and said stutteringly: "Imperial Sister-in-law, I want to rebuild the factory guards. Cao Huachun will control him. What do you think?"

Zhang Yan was speechless and had to say softly: "The emperor has decided, so let's do it."

She gritted her teeth before saying this. If the foreign ministers learned about it, she would definitely be accused of eternal eternity. Maybe what would it be written by scholars? The image of a poisonous woman who interferes in politics in the harem is probably unavoidable.

This scholar in the Ming Dynasty liked to arrange the scattered things in the emperor's family, which was also called fashion.

Emperor Chongzhen just wanted to be at ease and said resolutely: "Then Cao Huachun will leave the Zhenchang Guard and take charge of the Beijing camp. I can't trust those foreign officials."

Zhang Yan responded vaguely, and sighed softly in her heart. The emperor is old and awakened, and he knows that he has been fooled by the Donglin Party, so his attitude towards the Donglin Party has taken a big turn.

Emperor Chongzhen did not believe in anyone, did not believe in the Donglin Party, did not believe in foreign officials, but only believed in his confidant eunuchs. He rebuilt the factory guards and reset the military power of the Central Office to control military power. Zhang Yan sighed in his heart that he had known this, why would he have been the first.

Woolen cloth.

After biting his teeth, Zhang Yan gritted her teeth and advised: "Your Majesty, you must not overestimate it."

Chongzhen was already a little impatient and waved his hand and said, "I have my own sense of responsibility."

Silent for a moment, Chongzhen's talk was over. The chaotic Chongzhen Dynasty entered the era when the middle-ranking eunuchs were in charge of military power. The military power in the Beijing camp and all over the place fell into the hands of the eunuchs in the military supervision. Like the Tianxiong Army that Lu Xiangsheng worked hard in his previous life

, it was killed by the eunuch Gao Qi, who held military power. After sending the emperor away, Zhang Yan became stunned in the pavilion in the courtyard. She suddenly felt bored and wanted to leave the prison of Forbidden City and leave this stagnant pool.

A capital city, but this is a luxury.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, in mid-September, the bandits captured the important town of Xingyang, and thirteen families rebelled against the king. The seventy-two camps met in Xingyang, and the pass was shocked. Emperor Chongzhen appointed the governor of Yansui Hong Chengchou as the governor of the five provinces, gathered troops to encircle and suppress them.

. At the end of September, the bandit Zhang Xianzhong caused trouble in Jiangbei, and Hong Chengchou went out of Tongguan to encircle and suppress the enemy. At this time, a group of Ming troops suddenly changed in Fancheng, and Tongcheng, an important town in Anhui, was surrounded. Hong Chengchou was exhausted and rushed to put out fires everywhere.

The Ming army in the pass still maintained its advantage against the bandits at this time, and the bandits fled wherever the army went. However, the main force of the Ming army was to take care of their heads and ignore their butts and drove to Fancheng to pacify the mutiny. Hundreds of thousands of bandits besieged Tongcheng.

The north of the Yangtze River has long been corrupt. The most terrifying thing is that there is another bandit that crossed the Yangtze River and burned the war to the south of the Yangtze River. The bandits spread like plague in the heart of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army in the pass was no longer able to control the situation.

Liaoyang, front line.

Ma Cheng personally went to Liaoyang to supervise the battle. The morale of the Liaoyang Ming army was greatly boosted and the offensive improved. He conquered two large forts in succession, gradually destroyed the fort-style defense system outside Liaoyang, stripped off layer by layer, and gradually transformed the solid Liaoyang City.

Exposed under the Ming army's military front, the Liaoyang Barbarians gradually fell into decline.

Front, camp.

Ma Cheng put down his letter from Beijing, and the Thirteen Anti-King Alliance finally affected Jiangnan, so he could only paralyze both hands and helpless. If he and Hong Chengchou were changed, he would not have done anything better, and the bandits would

Just like cutting leeks, one crop was cut and another crop grew, and the Liao army entered the pass without any help. Moreover, the decisive battle in Liaodong was entering a critical stage, and the 200,000 troops in Liaozhen were unable to move south for a while.

Even if 200,000 Liao troops head south, it will be useless. The chaos inside the pass is a social problem, not a military problem. How many people did the Ming Dynasty have in the early years of Chongzhen? It is far more than 100 million, and it is about 200 million people. This is impossible to count in detail.

Yes, is Macheng capable of supporting 200 million people? It’s a joke, selling Kaiyuan Mansion is not enough for 200 million people to eat. This is an unsolvable knot, so let’s take a look at it first.

The two big forts on the front line, Yang front and Yang left were conquered, which was equivalent to pulling out two big nails on the periphery of Liaoyang.

The Ming army on the front line of Liaoyang used various cannons and spent countless ammunition to bombard them day and night. After mobilizing elite troops to repeatedly clear them, they finally drove out the enemy soldiers hiding in the fort, rat cave, and the ground nest. For this reason, the Ming army used various troops.

All kinds of methods, flooding, burning, digging tunnels, poisoning, and using all kinds of endless means were used, and the defenses of the outer peripheral system of Liaoyang gradually destroyed. This is the real Liaodong battlefield.

Yangqian Fort, after the fierce battle.

Ma Cheng stepped on the burned black hillside with one foot, looked around, and used fire attack and countless methods of water attack to conquer the front line of the big fort to burn a large reservoir.

If this fort was burned down, the strong fort guarded by Jianlu, there were still burnt charcoal everywhere on the hillside. The body of Jianlu that had not been cleaned yet was filled with the pungent smell of meat burning in the air. The fort guards had few soldiers.

Have a living mouth.

Ma Cheng walked to the water source and looked at a large reservoir that was more than ten meters deep. He grinned. Such a large pond was burned dry. This was evaporated and dried under the high temperature. With the rainy season

At the end of the year, when the dry autumn entered, the fire attack became a conventional method of the Ming army.

Fire attack is not easy. Most Liaodong military forts have water sources and complete fire prevention measures.

In spring, there is no wind in summer. It is difficult for fire attacks to pose a real threat to the forts. It is even more dangerous to set fire in autumn. In autumn, the wind direction in the hilly areas of Liaodong is changing. God knows where the wind will blow and where the wind will blow.

Fire burns to the other side. Despite this, fire attacks have become a common attack method used by the Ming army. The fire is ruthless, and the fire takes advantage of the wind and burns no living weapon to the fort guarding, which is extremely tragic.

The battle in Liaodong gradually changed. The Ming army in various units gradually lost patience after a long period of time, and the methods gradually became fierce, cruel, and gradually became very inhumane. This is something that will inevitably happen if a large army cannot capture after a long period of time. As a well-trained team

The army loses patience and becomes irritable, and all kinds of cruel means will emerge one after another. The army is essentially violent.

The grass on one side moved a few times, and the guards beside Macheng were so alert that they surrounded him.

Various short guns and hand guns aimed at the left front, and a pile of rubble.

Bang, the rubble was pushed away from it, and a figure rolled out, bang bang bang bang, the enemy soldier who rolled out of the cave was beaten into a sieve without saying a word.

On one side, Qiao Yiqi said in shame: "It's a flying eaves road, and the crime is given."

Ma Cheng waved his hand indifferently. This is the military fort defense system of this era. It is definitely not as stupid as described in film and television works. A large military fort such as Yangqian Fort has authentic tunnels everywhere underground, and the flying eaves are just one of them.

There are countless species that can hide soldiers and store food.

Bang bang bang bang!
