The vast cavalry rushed directly outside Xifengkou Pass. The soldiers at the gate were crazy about preparing various defenses and shouted wildly to find the general guard, but everything was too late.

During the attack, the Qing army suddenly divided its troops, and one of them was particularly elite. He turned around from Xifengkou and rushed directly to Qingshankou along the city wall to Qingshankou. Qingshankou was obviously not as good as Xifengkou. Seeing the Qing army rushing towards him, there were only two cannons on Qingshankou and a burst of fire from the fire sounded at the same time.

A Ming army commander on the city wall shouted loudly: "The Tartars are here, the Tartars are here, fight me, beat me!"

The muskets, bows, and cannons tilted down from Qingshankou wildly. The commander of the Ming army shouted angrily: "Hurry, send someone to rescue the general, otherwise it will be too late."

After hearing this, the Ming army's scout immediately went to pass the order, and then began a fierce defensive battle.

The reconnaissance squad leader was standing on the short neck tree and watching everything, his eyes almost bleeded, and the scout replied: "Squad leader, the telegram has been sent out. The brigade commander told us to be careful not to expose our whereabouts."

After hearing this, the reconnaissance squad leader raised his hand and said, "Everyone is on the horse."

As he said that, the other scouts were on their horses. The reconnaissance squad leader held a telescope and saw that the Qing soldiers and the Ming army guarding Qingshan Pass had already fought together. At this moment, there was a loud bang. The Qing army actually placed a large number of gunpowder bags on a city wall. The city wall at Qingshan Pass was already in disrepair and was blown up by the gunpowder bags, and the entire city wall suddenly collapsed.

"It's over."

Seeing this scene, the reconnaissance squad leader only spoke two words, and the city walls were blown up. It seemed that nothing could stop the Qing soldiers from entering the invasion.

The reconnaissance squad leader put down his telescope. He didn't want to see the Ming people being slaughtered. At this time, he sighed, jumped off the short neck tree, got on the horse and took the scouts away from the battlefield.

In October of the 12th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji, appointed Dorgon, Prince Heshuorui, as the command general, Haoge and Abatai as the deputy commander, as the left-wing soldiers, Beileyuetu as the general Yangwu, and Du Du as the deputy commander of the right-wing soldiers, and once again detoured through Mongolia and attacked the Ming Dynasty in two groups.

The left-wing soldier Dorgon led his troops to raid Qingshankou to the east of Xifengkou, breaking through the Great Wall fortress, destroying the city wall, and leading his troops into the frontier.

Yue Tuo led the right-wing troops from the walls of the walls on the east side of Miyun to destroy the walls into the Ming Dynasty.

The two wings of soldiers and horses gathered in Hexi, Tongzhou and approached the capital. Emperor Chongzhen was shocked when he heard the military report. He had not slept well for three days and three nights. He summoned Yang Sichang, the Minister of War, and other important officials to discuss countermeasures.

This is the Yiji Rebellion in the second year of Chongzhen and the third invasion in the second year of Chongzhen.

The rapid burning of wind and fire was far beyond the expectations of Chongzhen and the imperial court.

Ming BJ Qianqing Palace.

Wang Chengen quickly ran into the palace. Seeing Chongzhen pinch his nose, closing his eyes and thinking about things. After thinking about the words that the emperor did not scream, but Chongzhen obviously heard Wang Chengen's footsteps, and then looked up at Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Yang Sichang and all the adults are here."

After hearing this, Chongzhen immediately cheered up: "Please hurry up."

Soon all the ministers entered the hall one by one. After saluting, Chongzhen said, "Everyone should have known that Jiannu broke into the wall from the wall ridge of Miyun and Qingshankou. He has now reached Tongzhou and is approaching the capital. What do you think you should do?"

After Chongzhen said this, the ministers were silent and did not say a word. If this matter was not well explained, it might lose its head. Seeing that the ministers stopped talking, Chongzhen looked at Yang Sichang and said, "Yang Aiqing is always aware of military affairs, what should you do first?"

After hearing this, Yang Sichang said, "After all, Jiannu is fierce and caught us off guard. I think we should go in two steps. First, we gather the troops around the capital and enter the capital, strengthen the strength of the Beijing camp, and protect the capital."

After hearing this, Liu Yuliang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, frowned slightly and said, "The surrounding troops have been taken away. How should the surrounding counties and counties guard against Jiannu?"

When Yang Sichang heard this, he said, "Duke Liu, now the Tartars have reached the door, how can they care about the others? Let's defend the capital first. If the capital is not lost, then Your Majesty will be there, and Your Majesty will be in this Ming Dynasty forever."

After hearing this, Liu Yuliang frowned slightly and said, "Will the people ignore their lives and death?"

After hearing this, Yang Sichang said, "Mr. Liu should make things a choice. The people are less important than the king. Keep the capital first. As long as Your Majesty is not in trouble, no matter how many people you lose, we can make a comeback. I think the people can understand what I say today."

"Ahem cough cough..."

Liu Yuliang was not in good health. After hearing Yang Sichang's words, he coughed a few times. Liu Yuliang was a scholar and a clear stream, so he didn't care what he was thinking about in this situation. He must think about the people. This is called political correctness.

Maybe he is really worried about the country and the people, maybe he just wants to express his attitude. At least when this period is reproduced in history, someone will say that Liu Yuliang, the chief minister of the cabinet, spoke to the people at that time, and he is a good person.

Yang Sichang was more practical, and what he said was to recommend the surrounding officers and soldiers to enter the capital to protect the capital, which is indeed not a bad idea. At this time, it is not a wrong decision to abandon the small and protect the big one. So what is a small one, the common people are small ones.

Giving up the people around the capital and protecting the capital may not be a good way. Even if he is a little more poisonous and creates a vertical wall to clear the wilderness, it may be a good delay for the Tartars.

Unfortunately, this made the people suffer. However, in the eyes of the Ming officials, are the lives of ordinary people still fortune telling?

After hearing Yang Sichang's proposal, Chongzhen hesitated for a moment. He also felt that this was a bit sorry for the people around him, but in the end he nodded in agreement. After all, the country is the most important thing. As for the people, forget it, those in power must make appropriate choices.

At this time, Yang Sichang said the second plan: "Second, Your Majesty should immediately issue an order for generals from all over the country to enter Beijing to serve the king, especially the vanguard general of Liaodong, Zu Dashou. The Guanning Iron Cavalry under their command still has the power to fight. They can use them to involve the main force of the Tartars. Moreover, Liaodong is not far from the capital, and it will be fully rescued in a few days and nights. At that time, it will definitely relieve the danger of the capital."

After hearing this, Chongzhen nodded and said, "Yes, Zu Dashou can fight for the generals. Wang Chengen immediately issued an order to recruit Zu Dashou to come to the capital to rescue the emperor."

"In addition, Shandong Liu Zeqing, Shanxi Ni Chong, Zu Kuan, Luo Dai, Xiong Wencan, Zuo Liangyu come quickly. Forget Zuo Liangyu, don't move, the rest of the people come to the capital to serve the king."

Chongzhen paused when he said this. Zuo Liangyu was defending Lantian County. At this time, moving Zuo Liangyu was equivalent to loosening the rope trapped on Lantian County. In contrast, Chongzhen was even more worried about Lantian County, so Zuo Liangyu could not move lightly.

But Zuo Liangyu didn't move lightly, could that force be able to do it? Thinking of it, Chongzhen added: "By the way, Sun Chuanting also called to serve the king."

When he heard Sun Chuanting, Liu Yuliang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said: "Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting is guarding against Zhang Xianzhong in Hubei. Don't move easily, otherwise he would still recruit Zuo Liangyu to serve the king. Although Lantian had violated the rules, he never rebelled openly. I believe that there is still the Ming Dynasty in his heart. At this time of survival and death crisis, I think Li Chaosheng, the Lord of Lantian County, would not use his weapons without any attack."

After hearing this, Chongzhen frowned slightly and fell into thought. Lantian had never done anything that was directly and openly rebelled, why not?

"Your Majesty, you must not."

After hearing Liu Yuliang's words, Yang Sichang hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, Li Chaosheng is a poisonous dragon, Zhang Xianzhong is just a jackal. The jackal is strong and bites our flesh. At most, it will hurt for a while. But if the poisonous dragon reacts, it can swallow us in one bite. At that time, we can't even resist. Your Majesty, we would rather move Sun Chuanting than Zuo Liangyu."

After hearing this, Chongzhen clenched his fists, thought for a while and said, "What Yang Aiqing said is, should I ask Sun Chuanting to come to Beijing to serve the king."

After saying this, the ministers stopped talking. At this moment, Xue Guoguan, the second assistant to the cabinet who had not spoken, said, "Your Majesty, I want to recommend one person. If he can come to serve the king, the Tartars will not be able to defeat it."

As soon as Xue Guoguan said this, everyone around him looked at Xue Guoguan and thought, do you old man have any treasures left?

At this time, Chongzhen also became interested and looked at Xue Guoguan and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Xue Guoguan said slowly at this time: "Former Governor Lu Xiangsheng, Xuanda Governor of the Ming Dynasty."

Lu Xiangsheng!

When everyone around him frowned, he was so famous that the Governor Xuanda, Li Chaosheng from Lantian, joined forces to defeat Jiannu Dorgon, seized Guihua City on the Frontier, and killed thousands of Jiannu people. It was the biggest victory since the Ningyuan victory.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiangsheng participated in the battle to suppress Gao Yingxiang's peasant uprising army, and with Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, he killed Gao Yingxiang, the king of rebellion, and defeated the thief general Li Zicheng. It can be said that he has made great achievements in combat.

Unfortunately, Lu Xiangsheng's father passed away not long ago. Lu Xiangsheng returned home and left the Ming Dynasty officialdom by himself.

As soon as Xue Guoguan said this, Yang Sichang frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Lu has made great achievements in military affairs, but since ancient times, filial piety is greater than heaven. Lord Lu's worries are not yet full of worries when he returns home, so it is probably difficult for His Majesty to serve His Majesty."

Xue Guoguan looked at Yang Sichang at this time, thinking that he had taken Hong Chengchou and a piece of Hetian jade wall, saying that he wanted to plead for Lu Xiangsheng, and he could not just take things and not do anything. Thinking of this, Xue Guoguan said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the king and the king were in the family, and the king was in the face of national crisis. A real man should put the country first. Lord Lu must understand it. It is better for Your Majesty to entrust his love and let Lord Lu enter the capital as soon as possible, so as to lead the army to block the Tartars, and do not let the Tartars continue to ravage the people."

Chongzhen was quite moved after hearing this. He knew that Lu Xiangsheng was a man. He was good at military affairs and was loyal to himself, so he could use it.

Just as Chongzhen was swaying, Yang Sichang's eyes flashed. Lu Xiangsheng was his political enemy. He finally waited until Lu Xiangsheng's father died and returned home to worry. Now this old man actually wanted His Majesty to seize love. After the love, how should he handle it? Wouldn't the great situation he created be wasted?

Thinking of this, Yang Sichang's face was as deep as water, and bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

"Um?"

Chongzhen looked at Yang Sichang, and Yang Sichang looked at Chongzhen at this time and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Lu is working hard for the country, and his father is a new mourning. If you take love, it would be against filial piety."

Yang Sichang first occupied a commanding height in morality and continued, "Secondly, the Ming Dynasty was not a person who could fight, nor was he a man who knew about the war. He could also lead troops to defend the enemy. Even if he was not good, he could still recommend one person, that is, Sun Chengzong, Lord Sun, Lord Sun, Lord Sun, and Lord Sun had been fighting in Liaodong for many years. Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong and others were his subordinates. Now the defense line in Liaodong is built by Lord Sun. His ability should be far above Lu Xiangsheng. Why did Your Majesty abandon such a virtuous minister instead of taking away the love of Lord Lu and not allow Lord Lu to be filial?"

Chongzhen was a little moved after hearing this. Sun Chengzong was quite capable, and Chongzhen knew about this.

Xue Guoguan said at this time: "Your Majesty, what Lord Yang said is very true. Lord Sun does know the war, but Your Majesty, Lord Sun is old and may not be able to deal with such a strong war. Moreover, Lord Sun has been unemployed for several years and does not know how his physical condition is. If he rashly starts, it may be counterproductive. On the other hand, Lord Lu Xiangsheng has only been in full swing for more than a month, and he is still able to use it."

Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, saying something makes sense. Sun Chengzong is old and his physical condition is not very good. It is indeed a bit difficult to use him at this time. In war, it is not only necessary to consider military talents, physical strength, knowledge, and physical condition in all aspects.

It’s better for Lu Xiangsheng. Although Yang Sichang also knows the military, he still has no outstanding achievements. It’s reassuring that Lu Xiangsheng has fought hard on the battlefield.

Chongzhen was a little moved. Yang Sichang also saw that Chongzhen was a little moved. He was shocked. This was not possible. It would be difficult for Lu Xiangsheng to come back and drive him away. Thinking of this, Yang Sichang hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng cannot take away his love."

When everyone present frowned slightly when they heard Yang Sichang's abrupt words, Liu Yuliang looked at Yang Sichang and thought that this was too heavy, no wonder he couldn't get into the cabinet.

Xue Guoguan was also a little unhappy. Yang Sichang was too much. He had accepted Hong Chengchou gifts. He had not done this, so how much impact it had on his official voice.

Thinking of Xue Guo, he looked at Yang Sichang and said, "Mr. Yang, we all know that you have a bad relationship with Lord Lu, but now it's time that the Tartars have reached Tongzhou and are about to enter Beijing. Is it time to mention personal grudges? Lord Yang still has family, country and the world in his heart!"

Xue Guoguan said this without any mercy. Chongzhen also looked at Yang Sichang with a bad look. At this time, Yang Sichang was unable to get rid of the tiger. Seeing that the situation was too unfavorable to him, Gu Dong knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I don't mean to be unable to get along with Lu Xiangsheng. It's really Lu Xiangsheng who has a good relationship with Lantian!"

boom!

Hearing Yang Sichang's words, it was a heavyweight bomb, he stunned Chongzhen and frowned without saying a word.
