Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 873 Daming's Anger

The news of Huang Taiji's enthronement in Shenyang was like a huge meteorite crashing into the sea, causing thousands of shock waves in the capital area.The people in the Gyeonggi area all yelled: "The gang of Jian slaves really don't know how to die. They have beaten the champion like this. How dare they proclaim themselves emperor? Just wait, the new army will teach them a lesson!" Lushun Great Victory Yu Wei Still, the grand occasion of the new army lined up neatly and full of swords and guns is still in sight. The men in Beijing really can't think of any reason to be afraid of becoming a slave!Their general opinion is: Jiannu ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts, and his bones are itchy, so it's impossible not to rob them!

The people were like this, and Chongzhen was furious.How can the majesty of the Son of Heaven be insulted? The damn Jiannu dared to defy the heavens and call himself emperor, what a deception!The most irritating thing is that Jiannu proclaimed himself emperor when the national power of Ming Dynasty gradually recovered and took the initiative. Isn't this looking for beatings!When he heard the news in the early court, he was so angry that he swept a pile of memorials flying all over the sky on the spot, trembling slightly, and roared repeatedly: "Damn it! Damn it! Jiannu bullies people too much! I will definitely use my best efforts Master, razed Shenyang to the ground, wiped out its nine clans, and made them pay for it!"

Hou Xun knelt down on the ground, crying: "Your Majesty, Jiannu is going against the sky! If you can't kill him as soon as possible, and the Tartars follow suit, Daming's face will disappear. What face is there to meet the ancestors!"

Wang Yingxiong burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, there are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two monarchs in the country. It has been like this since ancient times. Hong Tai proclaimed himself emperor against the sky, and changed the name of the country to Qing. It is clear that he wants to replace the Ming Dynasty! The founding of the Ming Dynasty In 300 years, has anyone dared to be so presumptuous! It's all the fault of the servants to humiliate the Ming Dynasty so far, and the crimes deserve death!"

The anger in Chongzhen's chest became more and more fierce, and he looked at the new minister of the Ministry of War, Yang Sichang: "Yang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Yang Sichang took Fu Zonglong and replaced him. It wasn't long before he became Minister of the Ministry of War, and his buttocks were still hot, but he had already shown a good strategy and scheming, so that Chongzhen sometimes thought that this kid was good, and it was also a good choice to let him replace Fu Zonglong .The Holy Majesty inquired, and Yang Sichang did not dare to be negligent, and he came out of the class to play: "Wang Cifu's words are reasonable, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two monarchs in the country. There are so many wolf-like ambitions in the world. Hong Tai's proclaiming the emperor just gave them one time." An excellent opportunity! In my opinion, it is advisable to send out the new army and the elite of the Guan Ning army to wipe out the Jiannu with lightning speed. Firstly, it will kill chickens and monkeys and defend the dignity of Ming Dynasty. The thieves' unreasonable desires... It is related to the life and death of the community, there is no time, it should be sooner rather than later, otherwise a large number of people with wolf ambitions will go to Shenyang to join Hongtai, and the power of slavery will increase greatly. It will be difficult to kill them, please the emperor Think twice!"

Chongzhen frowned and said, "I can't wait to conquer Shenyang and eat Hongtai's flesh raw! But the champion marquis was assassinated, his life and death are uncertain, and Daming has lost an arm. I'm going to fight now, I'm afraid..."

Yang Sichang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Hong Tai won't proclaim himself emperor sooner or later. He chose to proclaim himself emperor at this time. I'm afraid it's because he thought that the champion marquis was in trouble, and that Ming was no longer a good general. That's why he was so presumptuous! But They made the wrong idea, although the champion Hou has already been assassinated, but Su Yihou is still there, tens of thousands of new troops are still there, it is easy to destroy Jiannu!"

All the civil and military officials suddenly knelt down and shouted in unison: "Please your Majesty, please mobilize the army to come out of the customs, plow holes and clear snow, kill the slaves, and defend our country!"

Chongzhen still hesitated a little.His military talent can only be described as "five scumbags of war", but his memory is not bad. The lesson of the Ming army being hanged and beaten by Houjin tricks during the Wanli and Tianqi years is still in front of him. The nightmare is still fresh in his memory, Jiannu is not so easy to deal with!The most aggressive famous general of Ming Dynasty has been assassinated, and Lu Xiangsheng has to face the crazy counterattack of the whole Mongolia. The pressure is huge.After hesitating again and again, he decided to wait a little longer, until the pressure on Lu Xiangsheng's side was lessened, and when Yang Mengzai recovered!He said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, this is a major matter for the country! This battle is related to the life and death of Ming Dynasty, so you must not act on your own will! For the time being, we should wait for the opportunity..."

Before the words fell, the whole court turned upside down, and all the civil and military officials wailed loudly: "Your Majesty, I can't wait! It is a shame and a shame for Hong Tai to proclaim himself emperor. It is even more a shame that Ming Dynasty can't punish such rebellious acts. I'd rather die than suffer such humiliation!" These old fellows didn't know if they had been beaten, they were all very excited, beating their chests and feet, heartbroken, and some of them were about to die on the spot, the situation was in chaos .In a word, if Chongzhen doesn't send troops to destroy Houjin as soon as possible, they will suffer great shame and humiliation, life would be worse than death, rather than being bullied like this, they would be better off dead!Chongzhen let them make one head and two big ones, and it was the first time he discovered that these veterans were so loyal to the emperor and patriotic... Speaking of which, Jiannu also bullied us badly in the past, why are you not so excited? Oh, then It's because Jiannu didn't proclaim himself emperor before, and there was still a possibility of murder and arson and being recruited. Everyone expressed calmness.Now it is directly on the face.

Huang Taiji's accession to the throne was a huge motivation for Manchuria, but it was a terrible pressure for Chongzhen.The whole of Beijing has turned into a boiling crater. Thousands of angry people poured into the streets, looking berserk and shouting "war".Now that Huang Taiji proclaims himself emperor against the sky, he has stepped on the bottom line of the whole country, and the whole country is angry!The army also reacted strongly. Guan Ningjun was the first to write to the court, requesting to send troops to attack Shenyang immediately, and wash away the shame with blood!Not to be outdone, the Changping Army also wrote letters to fight, and then the governors of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Gansu and other provinces also wrote letters one after another, wanting to lead troops north to destroy Jiannu!All the military generals in the Ministry of War screamed and volunteered to volunteer. It can be said that the whole Ming Dynasty was angry!

Under the rage, this old empire burst out with terrifying energy, so that the black hands behind the scenes who hid in the dark and manipulated all this were secretly frightened.

It should be said that Chongzhen remained calm at this time, and was not overwhelmed by anger. He repeatedly rejected the proposals of the ministers to go to war immediately—even though similar memorials flew over, he persisted and refused to nod. Do not nod.The life and death of his most trusted general is uncertain, and now it is freezing, the risk of going to war rashly is too great!The current Chongzhen is no longer the stunned young man with black eyes when he first came to the throne, who knew nothing, was played around by the officials, and couldn't even collect the property copied from Wei Zhongxian's house. The pain of so many years The tempering has already shattered his naive fantasy, and made him soberly aware of how tragic the war between countries and the struggle between power and power are, and if he makes a wrong move, there may be no room for turning around.Now the situation is favorable to Daming, just continue to spend time with Jiannu, wait for Lu Xiangsheng to settle the Mongols, wait for Yang Menglong to recover, are you afraid that you will not be able to deal with those Jiannu? Why take this risk? However, no matter how he explains, the group The ministers didn't understand his difficulties, so they insisted on one thing: a country cannot have two emperors, and Jiannu must be eliminated as soon as possible. If you don't even have this responsibility, we might as well bow down to the chief!Among them, those officials and Tai students had a fierce quarrel, especially the students of Tai College, who blocked the door of Daming and shouted to start a war. These masters could not beat or scold, let alone persuade them to leave, which really hurt the soldiers of the Beijing camp. brains.And the folks also gradually spread sarcasm: "The emperor is just the puppet of the champion. He has always said what the champion can say. The emperor can do nothing but stamp the seal! Now that the champion is assassinated, the emperor even follows him. Jian Nu has lost all his courage to fight... Hey, it’s good that the champion Hou died of his injuries, but if he really recovers, it’s hard to say whether this great Ming country will be named Yang or Zhu in the future!”

Needless to say, these strange words reached Chongzhen's ears verbatim, making him furious.It is true that he is very dependent on Yang Menglong, but it is too much to say that he is just Yang Menglong's yes man!While angry, he also began to worry that Yang Menglong's influence was too great!Now that the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is harmonious, everything is fine, but what about the future? Can the prince really control this unruly lion? Even if he can control it, it will not be appropriate in the long run. I am afraid that in less than 20 years, the whole world will only know that there is Yang, I wonder if you have Zhu? He is always a suspicious person, but Yang Menglong and Lu Xiangsheng have done so well in the past few years that he does not need to worry about many things, so he has not caused any trouble. Now he is facing the Ming Dynasty There were great changes that had never happened since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Under the changing situation, his suspicion suddenly broke out. He became suspicious and restless. He even dreamed several times that Yang Menglong led countless soldiers into the palace and killed all his family like chickens. Death, civil and military officials prostrated under his boots, shouting long live the mountain... This nightmare was so terrifying that it woke him up from a deep sleep, covered in cold sweat, staring in fear and panting in the dark night Rough.

The queen woke up with a start, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Chongzhen panted slightly, and said, "No, it's nothing, it's just a nightmare."

The queen asked: "Is it related to Jiannu?"

Chongzhen said, "Yes."

The queen wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with her sleeve, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Jiannu proclaims himself the emperor. It seems to be rampant, but he is actually seeking his own death. Let them be rampant for a while, and wait for the champion As soon as the new army leaves, their doom will come!"

The first half was okay, but when he heard the second half, Chongzhen frowned slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Except for the champion, is there no one who can deal with Jiannu!?"

The queen was stunned and said: "Of course not. Marquis Su Yi, General Wu Sheng, and General Li Weiluan are all excellent generals. It's just that the champion Hou is brave and invincible, so the odds of winning are better with him."

Chongzhen snorted: "The hair is long, but the knowledge is short!" He ignored the queen and closed his eyes again.It's just that he couldn't fall asleep anymore, and the scene in the dream repeatedly appeared in front of his eyes, bloody and terrifying, which made his heart jump.It's not that he is overhearted. Since ancient times, a weak monarch and a strong minister will not have good results. The words of the queen just now made Chongzhen realize that Yang Menglong is fully capable of becoming a character like Cao Cao and Wang Mang!
I must stop this!I can't leave such a big hidden danger to the prince!

In the dark, Chongzhen secretly made up his mind.

If you want to stop all this, you must restore the majesty of the Nitian family, and let the whole world know that Tianwei is unpredictable.Yang Menglong's prestige was accumulated in the sea of ​​corpses and blood on the battlefield, and the tricks of power had no effect on him. The only thing that could suppress his prestige was to conquer him personally, destroy Jiannu, and let the whole world know that the Zhu family Children and grandchildren are also very good at fighting!

In the early morning of the next day, the officials were still crying and clamoring to send troops to attack Shenyang. Chongzhen looked around the crowd and said slowly: "I have decided to send all the best troops to attack Shenyang, kill Jiannu, and let them know that they are rebellious." The consequences of God's actions! This time, I will personally conquer and kill them all!"

The officials were all stunned, and it took a long time to react, knelt down and shouted wildly: "My emperor is holy! Long live my emperor!" In the past, if any emperor wanted to conquest himself, the officials might have to jump up and rebel, but this time even if it is the most eventful The officials did not object, but sang a carol instead: "The emperor does not shy away from wind, frost, arrows and stones, and the emperor personally conquers. This kind of courage is rare in ancient times, and Qin Emperor Hanwu is far inferior. My emperor is really the number one wise emperor in the ages!" The filming made Chongzhen quite intoxicated, secretly saying that he had made the right bet.However, he also knew how many bowls of rice he could eat, so he ordered: "Eight hundred miles, hurry up, call Su Yihou to Beijing to discuss the war! Once the grain, fodder, horses, weapons, and weapons are received, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households must immediately start raising funds, and there must be no mistakes!"

There was another long live sound like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

From Hailing King Wanyanliang to Louis IX, there are not a few emperors who sent troops to war because of a dream, and no matter whether they had a good dream or a bad dream, it would eventually turn into an overwhelming nightmare.Now that Chongzhen has made the same mistake, will his luck be better than these unlucky ones?
