Chapter 90
"Those cities are fine even if they are lost. Ben Khan has already ordered that if they can't be defended, they can be taken away. Leave a mess for the Ming Kingdom, and let the Ming Emperor have a headache!" Huang Taiji obviously had thought about it a long time ago. "Our focus is to take down the capital. Even if we don't win in the end, if we want to leave, which Ming army is brave enough to stop us?"

Seeing Dai Shan nodding his head, Huang Taiji showed another smile on his face and said, "Don't forget, who else did the Ming emperor use as Prime Minister Qin Wangjun?"

Hearing this, Daishan smiled, and then he said goodbye and went back to his camp with peace of mind.

Looking from the top of the capital city, the Jianlu camp outside the city was endless, and it seemed that the end could not be seen at a glance.From time to time, a cavalry team of Jianlu galloped out of the gate of the camp, roaring around the capital amidst the dust, without paying attention to the Ming army in the capital.

The Ming army on the top of the city saw that everyone was waiting in full battle, and their expressions were very nervous.

If it was changed before, they might still be terrified.But since news of the emperor's visit to the wounded soldiers came out, they were all so excited that even if they died, they would still be able to enjoy the incense forever even if they had no descendants.

This is unimaginable for later generations, or for Westerners.But for most Ming people, they are very concerned about it.In addition to being the pillar of the family, the army stroke is indispensable, and everyone else has less worries about the future.

In addition, there is another confirmed news, that is, if you fight bravely this time, you may be selected to serve in the East Factory.

Usually, they spend most of their time doing labor and chores, letting those officials call them around.But if he became a slave in the East Factory, who would dare to bully others in the future?Not to mention the treatment, just thinking about it makes people yearn for it!
At this time, they even had a glimmer of expectation in their hearts, let Jianlu come to attack the city quickly, so that they can make some meritorious deeds, otherwise the carp jumping over the dragon's gate will lose the chance to change their fate!

From the arrow tower, Man Gui looked at the movement of the Jian captives in the distance, and also looked at the mental outlook of the defenders on the top of the city. He listened to what his subordinates said about what they saw, and nodded with satisfaction.

The emperor is the emperor, it is really amazing, the morale before and now is really incomparable, now I can finally feel relieved.

To be honest, when Mangui first received the imperial decree to defend the city, he was under a lot of pressure.

Just like Huang Taiji outside the city, they can see that the strength of the defenders at the top of the city is not as good as that of the Ming army outside the pass. Man Gui is among them, so he naturally understands the gap between the two.

In the past few days, he has hardly had a rest, and he is worried about the city defense that is riddled with holes.However, the effect is minimal.Because the city defense of the capital is completely rotten to the bone.

Several times, he was so angry that he wanted to sue the emperor, and it would be best to behead Li Fengxiang, the admiral of the Beijing camp.However, after all, he still had a sliver of reason and did not take this step.

What Man Gui didn't expect was that the emperor seemed to have changed his personality a few days ago. He changed his previous style and reprimanded Li Fengxiang, which made the dead eunuch respect him at least on the surface and began to cooperate with him to improve the city defense.

What was even more unexpected was that the emperor's several decrees not only prepared enough manpower, but also greatly improved the morale of the defenders.

Man Gui actually knew in his heart that if it was going to be a field battle, even this would be useless.But now they can rely on the tall city walls of the capital to defend, so even if they don't have enough training, they can already make do with it.What's more, the emperor actually came up with a sharp weapon suitable for ordinary people to defend the city, as well as the earthen armor.

Hehe, thinking of this, Man Gui looked at Jianlu in the distance and smiled.

The servants around him were a little bit surprised when they saw him, they hadn't seen the master smile for a long time, even when he received Shang Fang's sword, led the order to guard the city, and held the power, they never saw the master smile.

At this moment, Man Gui turned his head, looked at them and shouted: "Command, except for the lookout post, all other soldiers should rest. Jianlu attacked the city, and his own order sounded."

"Send people to supervise the Ministry of Industry. As soon as the construction of Yiyiye and Langyapai is completed, the city head will be transported and deployed immediately. The city head of the capital has marked the key areas, and other areas that have not been arranged in time will send additional people to guard against Jianlu at night. Steal the city!"

"..."

The orders were issued one after another. As a battle-tested general, Man Gui once again checked for omissions and filled in the gaps according to the actual situation in view of the current city defense.If it were changed, he would definitely not be as comprehensive as him, able to know the focus of defense and be targeted.

However, Man Gui is still a little worried. After all, the capital is much larger than the cities outside the pass, and more importantly, there are not enough defensive equipment.If it was night, if Jianlu used a flying hook to quietly steal the city, with Jianlu's bravery, it would be a bit difficult to stop.

Thinking of this, Man Gui was really worried, so he came down from the watchtower, and took his servants to patrol the city again, checking the situation of the city defense everywhere.

In the history of China, the flying hook has always been a tool with tenacious vitality.According to historical development, during the period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, when the Taiping Army broke through Wuhan for the second time, it was Chen Yucheng who led the Death Squad to sneak attack at night with flying hooks.Even during the War of Resistance Against Japan and Liberation, our army used flying hooks many times to make meritorious deeds.

Man Gui naturally knew this, and he also strictly checked this point when he went on inspections.

At this time, Hu Guang, who was in the Forbidden City, was not idle either. He recruited Cao Huachun, a busy man, and asked, "Has the shopkeeper of Yongchang Bank recruited?"

"Slave is incompetent!" Cao Huachun, who came in a hurry, lowered his head and said, "He only insisted that he was a distant relative of his family, and he didn't admit that there was any relationship with captives!"

Hu Guang was slightly disappointed when he heard that, but this was also within his expectation.After all, to be the treasurer of the Beijing Normal Bank, he must be a confidant of Shanxi merchants and a person with a brain.If he admits that the man who let go is a prisoner, and admits that the Shanxi merchants have colluded with the captives, he will definitely not die.Anyway, the person has been let go, so there is no proof of death. Only by killing him with one bite can he have a chance of survival.

However, no matter how much he thought about it, he would never have guessed that among the four people who let go, three of them were Jin Yiwei's Baihu.

Hu Guang thought for a while, and then told Cao Huachun, "Continue to interrogate. It's best if you can find out. If you can't ask, he will save his life. When Gao Baihu and the three of them have a chance to come back in the future, we will confront them face to face."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Cao Huachun immediately flattered him when he heard this.

Yingming has a fart, and you don't contribute achievement points.Hu Guang slandered in his heart, and immediately waved him back.But remembering that he didn't seem to have had a good rest, he said to him again: "Don't be exhausted, pay attention to rest. If there is anything you can tell Wang Chengen to do!"

Cao Huachun was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect that the emperor seemed to have a good impression of his adopted son and meant to reuse him.
