If Jiannu was a wolf at this time, then Ming Dynasty is just a group of sheep. As soon as there is news of the appearance of wolves, the sheep seem to have lost their souls, and they immediately become ownerless and restless. The only thing is to directly
Their backs were twitching, and one can imagine how much of a deterrent Jian Nu had given them.
When the news came that Jiannu had entered the customs again, Zhu Ling's first subconscious reaction was that Wu Sangui had surrendered, because this was the worst possible outcome. Once he surrendered, Li Zicheng might not be able to stop Jiannu's cavalry at all.
Moreover, he was not ready here yet: Liu Zeqing was still alive and arrogant. Zuo Liangyu's hundreds of thousands of troops were entrenched in Wuchang: Li Dingguo was still under Zhang Xianzhong's command.
It can only be said that he has accumulated strength for more than a month. If he faced Jiannu, he would only be able to delay it for a few days, and he would not be able to win at all.
In the end, Ming Dynasty will still perish like history, so what's the point of him traveling through time? Isn't all the struggle in vain?
But the next words made everyone present feel a little relieved: "Jian Nu split into two groups and rushed straight into the pass. He entered from Mongolia in the north and encountered the intruders in the south. The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and finally the intruders were defeated and retreated to
Tongzhou. The other group attacked Shanhaiguan, but failed."
Wang Jiayan hated Jiannu as much as he was the enemy who killed his father. He immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Jiannu is so rampant that he even plans to enter the pass, which shows his wolfish ambition! At present, we have Wu Sangui's Shanhaiguan and Meng Zhaoxiang's capital to the north. They are
The two cities are really dangerous!"
"It would be better if the intruder could stop the intruder, or even send troops to stop it. But at present, we don't know what the intruder's attitude is towards the slaves." Huang Bodang also stepped forward and said, regarding the entry of the slaves, everyone was very surprised.
They are all very worried. When fighting against the Jiannu, they almost never win. It is natural to be afraid.
Shi Kefa also stood up and said: "No matter what the attitude of the intruders is, we should be the first to express our position: Jiu slaves are not our race, and their hearts must be different. People everywhere have the responsibility to drive away Jiu slaves!"
"We can do this, but we also have to solve a problem now, that is Gao Yigong in the north." Zhu Ling said with a heavy face and frowned: "Our strategic goal was to stabilize Shandong and connect North Zhili with Shandong.
The road should be opened so that we can support Wu Sangui and Meng Zhaoxiang at any time. So far, this strategy is still effective."
It seems that because they have soldiers in hand, everyone has a little more confidence. Huang Bodang stepped forward and said to him, "Your Majesty, we have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Gao Yigong only has 70,000 or 80,000. As long as I
Once we move our troops properly, we will definitely be able to defeat it. But the biggest question at this time is, should we take the initiative or defend the city?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Kefa stood up and said: "Of course we should take the initiative!"
"Master Shi, we have to be safe and don't advance rashly." Wang Jiayan was obviously dissatisfied with him and did not go out, so he reminded him coldly.
"Why take the initiative?" Shi Kefa was obviously a little excited and was not afraid of Wang Jiayan. He said: "Always, the combat effectiveness of our officers and soldiers could have defeated the intruders. However, because of the subsequent failure, our army had no fighting spirit. Only then did we
As a result, Shanxi all surrendered without fighting fiercely. If you want to revive the army, you must lift up the lost morale! And the only way to eliminate fear is to take the initiative to eliminate fear!"
"Master Shi, an army of hundreds of thousands is not something you can just talk about. The former Qin's army of 800,000 was defeated by the Jin in the south with less than 100,000. This is a tragedy because they think they can win with numbers. We can
I can't go through this again." Zu Xiangyang actually stepped forward to angrily attack Shi Kefa. After this, Shi Kefa seemed to be the only one in the court fighting against Wang Jiayan and the others.
"I have someone to recommend! This person can be the head coach!" Shi Kefa suddenly raised his hand.
"Who?" Zhu Ling asked immediately.
"Zhu Dadian!"
As soon as these words came out, Huang Bo Dangdang immediately objected and said strongly: "Your Majesty, this person has just changed from a scapegoat to a common man. Not to mention his ability to lead troops, this incident alone makes it difficult for him to establish himself.
Prestige. Besides, he has been imprisoned for so long, is he really good enough to lead troops?"
"I second the proposal." Zu Xiangyang is a small person, so he naturally follows his side step by step.
Speaking of Zhu Dadian, Zhu Ling's eyes suddenly flashed. Why didn't he think of him just now? I had pardoned him before, wasn't it just to let him lead the army to fight again? Moreover, this man was once a governor.
It should be possible for the governor, general of the army, and chief of staff to hold various positions, and have led tens of thousands of people to fight against the intruders many times.
Then he ignored the objections of Huang Bodang and others and immediately asked Shi Kefa: "Where is she now?"
"After discussing matters in the court two days ago, I became a minor official in my army." Shi Kefa cupped his hands.
"Let him come!" Suddenly, Zhu Ling hesitated and said, "Let Gao Jie come too."
…
During the discussion the day before yesterday, Gao Jie was dismissed from his post and became a small boss. He thought that he was really going to fight again, but he didn't expect that His Majesty suddenly summoned him today, which made him suddenly pleasantly surprised. This must be a
It gave him a chance to make a new start, so he ran all the way.
When he saw Zhu Dadian, he bowed out of respect for him. After all, this man was once a great man. If he hadn't been framed, his current official position would have been that of a second-rank official. I couldn't be more polite.
What's wrong.
Of course, this is what his wife Xing taught him.
"The last general is Gao Jie, the younger one is Zhu Dadian."
"Kowtow to Your Majesty."
A junior general and a junior general, one can clearly see the official positions of the two at this time. Regarding Zhu Dadian's experience, all the officials were also quite sad about him.
"Zhu Dadian."
A plain voice sounded in front of Zhu Dadian. Zhu Dadian, who had been wronged for a long time, was quite excited when he heard these words, as if he saw hope, and tears could not help but flow out slowly.
"The little one is here."
"I have been wronged for nothing, but if it were me, I would have to clean it up even if I poked a hole in the sky. It's not easy for you to endure the humiliation and bear the burden like this. If you have any ideas, you can put them forward and I can satisfy you." Zhu Ling
The gentle words were spoken again, with a lot of compassion in the tone.
Hearing this, Zhu Dadian couldn't help but feel sad. He wanted to release a lot of humiliation, but in the end he held back. He said slowly: "I just ask your Majesty to tell everyone that Zhu Dadian has always been a loyal and patriotic person. He has never
He did those things that led to rebellion."
"I promise you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The choked words were released.
"I also want something from you. Now that the slaves have invaded the border again, the bandit general Gao Yigong is leading his army towards our Yanzhou. Now we have soldiers but no commander. It is really a pity. I want to ask you, do you have any
Don’t have the confidence to take up the position of coach? If so, from today on, you will be the coach of the three armed forces, and everything will be under your control." Zhu Ling looked at Zhu Dadian closely, fearing that he would refuse.
"If your Majesty trusts me, I am willing to accept it!"
"good!"
As if he had been inspired, Zhu Ling immediately stood up and said: "From now on, Zhu Dadian will be the commander-in-chief of my army of more than 100,000 people! He will be the right minister of the Ministry of War, promoted to the censor of Youqiandu, appointed as the inspector of Shandong, and the governor of the Zhili area in the northeast of Shandong.
Military affairs, lead our Ming army to defeat the intruders!"
"I accept the decree!"
On the other hand, Gao Jie, who was kneeling next to him, saw that Zhu Dadian suddenly rose from an unknown person to a governor and other official positions, so he naturally had some expectations for his future.
"Gao Jie."
"The end will be here." Gao Jie couldn't wait to know his future arrangements.
"How many troops do you think you can lead?"
"More than thirty thousand, not fifty thousand!" Gao Jie replied with great confidence. He knew that if he repaid less, it would only make His Majesty and the ministers think that his ability was average.
"Zhu Qing, now that you are the governor, you should make this arrangement." Zhu Ling turned his eyes to Zhu Dadian and said to him.
After hearing this, Zhu Dadian stood up and looked at Gao Jie beside him. He saw a nervous and expectant look on his face, and then said: "Become a general and see how much you are capable of."
Gao Jie was obviously a little disappointed when he heard this. He thought that the official would be reinstated, why was he just a deputy general? But then Zhu Ling's words made him completely surrender.
"Still not thankful?"
"Thank you, general." Gao Jie then thanked him helplessly.
…
Shanhaiguan
"Grandma, is there something wrong with this slave-building? Do you have to go through my place?" On top of the city tower, Wu Sangui, who had just experienced a fierce battle, looked at the Qing army in the distance and couldn't help but cursed. They were all beaten.
Several times, I was repelled and then continued to charge, and I continued to charge like this several times.
The commander-in-chief Gao Di beside him also gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, no, according to Jiannu's offensive, we will definitely be breached in a month at most. We have to find a way!"
"Is there any other way?"
Wu Sangui was furious and didn't know what to do: "Now that His Majesty has left the capital, we are the only one in the north except for the capital, and there will be no reinforcements."
"Will Dorgon accept us?" Gaudi said suddenly, but his words were also a test, not a direct inquiry.
"Be bold!"
Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui shouted loudly and immediately reprimanded: "The imperial court is still here, and His Majesty is also trying his best to regain the lost territory, but you are here with the intention of surrender? If His Majesty finds out, you deserve death!"
In other words, if you don't let His Majesty know, you won't be punished with death. Gaudi can naturally see this meaning. It seems that the prince really has the intention to surrender and become a slave.
