Come to Daming with military supplies

These people are used to running amok in the city, and there is no problem in bullying ordinary people, but I dare not say what will happen to the elite Oirat cavalry.Even when there is a favorable wind, it is doubtful whether it is possible to achieve complete victory.

So early in the morning, Yang Chendong called five commanders and led them to stand on the tower of Deshengmen, the north gate of the capital.

There was also a general named Yang Guang who appeared together with the five commanders. He was originally the deputy commander in chief. When Shi Heng, the commander in chief, was defeated and disappeared, he naturally became extremely important. .

Yang Guang still has some skills, and more importantly, he has a good attitude. When he saw Yang Chendong, he called "Hou Ye" to the left, and then called "Hou Ye" again, feeling very close.Under his leadership, the five commanders including Sun Cheng also changed from the original title of Marquis Yang to Lord Marquis.

Standing opposite Yang Guang and Sun Tong, Yang Chendong pointed to the open space outside Deshengmen behind him and said: "It won't be long before Oala's cavalry will appear here, a big battle is already over. No matter how inevitable, everyone, are you afraid?"

Yang Chendong's tone was very calm, even cold, as if saying that the appearance of the enemy army was just like telling a story, it couldn't arouse the slightest wave in his heart.

In contrast, the performance of these six people is far from satisfactory.Yang Guang and Sun Chung were better, at least they could stand there straight. The four commanders, Tao Jin, Yang Jie, Gao Li, and Mao Fushou, obviously had a lot of ugly faces. Shivering.

This month, the morning in the capital is not hot at this moment, but it is far from the cold, but the four of them are still sweating nervously, which is enough to show the panic in their hearts.

"Forget it, the four of you will lead two hundred soldiers to take charge of public security in the city as we said before. But remember, if the enemy army has not entered the city, there must be no chaos in the capital. Otherwise, if there is a problem, whoever it is crime." Yang Chendong didn't want Tao Jin and the others to stay anymore, because their presence would not be a good thing for the morale of the army, and it would easily lead to the destruction of other soldiers, making them feel scared.

Hearing that they didn't have to face the Oirat cavalry, Tao Jin and the others couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. They all clasped their fists and bowed to Yang Chendong before retreating from the tower.

Only Yang Guang and Sun Cheng were left.Yang Chendong said: "Vice Chief Soldier Yang, you are in charge of leading five thousand cavalry to stay under Desheng's gate. When the time comes, you will lead the army out of the city to pursue after I give you an order. Remember, you can't attack without the order of the Marquis. , and when going out of the city, the pursuit should not be too far, the limit is ten miles, and if you exceed this distance, you will return immediately, understand?"

Yang Guang, whose name was called, looked puzzled.According to Yang Chendong, he led the cavalry to chase after the enemy. Don't they need to fight face to face?

If you don't fight, how can you be sure that the other party will flee?If you don't escape, where will the pursuit come from?

It's just that the incomprehension is incomprehension, the military order is like a mountain, Yang Chendong is the commanding general personally appointed by Daizong Zhu Qiyu, since there is a military order, he only needs to obey it.

"Yes, please rest assured, Lord Hou, I will definitely follow his orders and act." After clasping his fists, Yang Guang went down to prepare.Five thousand healthy horses, this is a number that was obtained after searching the city for a long time, and it is also one of the strongest forces in the capital that everyone can see.

Yang Guang also left, leaving Sun Bo, a commander, standing there with his chest up and his head up, but there was also an aura.

Sun Cheng, who chose to take refuge in Jin Ying in history, had a good time, but the final ending was still very tragic.Yang Chendong, who learned about this period of history from the book, found that this person still has some abilities, as long as he is well guided, he will become a good general, so he intends to train him and keep him by his side.

"Commander Sun, the remaining [-] soldiers and horses in the five cities will be handed over to you, and they will all be placed on the Victory Gate to give people the feeling that there are soldiers everywhere. Is it possible?" Facing the Looking at Sun Bo, Yang Chendong gave his task.

"Please don't worry, Lord Hou, I will definitely do it well." Sun Zhen replied in a loud voice, but in fact, he was already full of doubts in his heart.What does loyal and courageous mean?Did he only lead troops to guard the city gate?Don't we need to send people to meet the enemy outside the city?It seems that the city is going to be passively defended, but I just don't know if it can be defended.

Sun Bo made the arrangements with full of doubts.When he was still thinking about whether he should rely on guarding the city tower to resist the Wala army, a new order was handed down, which made him completely dizzy, let alone what Yang Chendong was going to do.

The new task turned out to be to close all the capital cities except the Desheng Gate, and the only Desheng Gate that was not closed had to be opened, giving people a feeling that they could enter directly.

I don't know why the city gate was opened. Didn't this attract the Wala army to enter?You must know that the cavalry is best at attacking on land. If you refuse to defend the city, you may still have a slight chance of winning, but if you open the city gate, if you let the city people enter, wouldn't it mean that you have given up your own advantage? , This will only increase the difficulty of defending the city.

Sun Chun, who was really puzzled, arranged for people to do what Yang Chendong wanted, and at the same time ordered his cronies to go to the palace to inform Eunuch Jin Ying.How similar is the wheel of history, the previous life took refuge in Jin Ying, and this life has the same trend.

In the imperial palace, all officials were summoned to the court.Compared with the usual court meeting, all the courtiers lost their minds about presenting today.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the dragon chair, but the dragon chair was too big, it seemed that he couldn't calm him down, he would move his butt from time to time, expressing his anxiety to the fullest.

In fact, he couldn't help but worry.Once the capital falls, it means that he is the emperor. He will also become the No. 2 emperor who lost to Wala after Yingzong Zhu Qiyu, and will become a shame in the history of Ming Dynasty.

In the future, whether he will become a high-ranking emperor, or become a prisoner, or even a dead person, all depends on how this battle to defend the capital is played.

The difference from history is that Yu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, is no longer there.Under the guidance of Yang Chendong, there was no battle with the Oala army on the periphery.After Shi Heng's big defeat, all the pressure was concentrated on Deshengmen, where the final result of this battle would be decided.

"Report!"

Just when Zhu Qiyu was still looking anxious, the soldiers sent by Sun Bo to inform the news came outside the Golden Luan Hall.

"Enter the palace!" Standing beside Zhu Qiyu, Jin Ying was also concerned about the success or failure of this battle, this time he shouted directly without waiting for the emperor's consent.

At this time of life and death, no one is thinking about whether Jin Ying has exceeded his authority by doing so. What everyone thinks is whether there is any result ahead, whether he has won?Still lost?

The soldier who reported the letter was allowed to enter, and immediately bowed his head and walked into the hall, then fell to his knees with a plop and said loudly: "The loyal and brave man ordered the victory door to be opened. Sun Chun led more than [-] soldiers and was placed on the tower of the Desheng Gate."

"what?"

After the soldiers reporting the news finished talking about the situation at the city gate, the entire court hall suddenly became lively.

"How can it be possible to open the city gate? What the Oirat cavalry are best at is charging. The tall city wall is our only reliance. Now abandoning the city tower and defending it is simply taking advantage of our weaknesses and avoiding our strengths!"

In order to show his erudition, Shangshu Yiming of the Ministry of War shouted loudly.

"Yes, yes! It's really inappropriate for Zhongdanhou to do this, it's not appropriate." The other officials also booed together.

"Enough." Hu Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, saw that the court hall was in a mess, like ordinary people, and shouted loudly with trembling lips.

Chapter 197 An Enemy Comes From Afar

This roar focused the eyes of all the officials on him, "As important officials in the court, you are in a mess here like ordinary people at this time, how is it proper?" Hu Wei asked the group loudly with his beard raised minister.

In terms of age and seniority, Hu Wei has enough capital. With this shout, many courtiers are about to bow their heads, not daring to argue with him.But there are also those who are not afraid of Hu Wei, for example, Minister of the Ministry of War Yiming stood up holding a wat board, "Hu Shangshu, could it be that Yang Chendong is your grandson-in-law, can't you just protect him here?"

Shi Pu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, stepped forward and said, "Shangshu Hu, this is not the time for family affection."

"Yes, when the country is in crisis, the overall situation should be put first, and family affection should be put aside." Jin Lian, the new Minister of the Household Department, also stepped forward and accused Hu Wei of his wrongdoing.

After participating in the court meeting for so many years, it was rare for Hu Wei to be attacked by three ministers at once.But in the face of this situation, he had no intention of backing down. Instead, he looked at the three of them and said with contempt: "Oh? So, the three of you should know how to fight? So, why didn't you stand up and resist the heavy burden when the emperor wanted to choose a general?"

"This" is the blushing Minister of the Ministry of War, Yiming, who was said by Hu Yan, knowing that he is the one who should stand up and carry everything, but he has no self-confidence and dares not to do so.Now that Hu Wei said this, he was clearly attacking him. "Hu Shangshu, what we are talking about now is that the door of victory is opened without attacking, please don't change the subject? Could it be that Yang Chendong has surrendered to Wala, and you, a grandfather, will also benefit, so can't you speak well for him? ?”

This wave of attacks by Yiming can be said to have addressed what everyone was most worried about. The expressions of many ministers changed for a while, even Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was pale at this moment.If Shangshu Yiming said the truth, wouldn't he be giving the capital to the enemy?

"Yi Shangshu, please be respectful." Seeing that the emperor, including all the ministers, were moved by Yi Ming's words, Hu Wei roared with an angry expression on his face: "Is there any evidence for what Yi Shangshu said? "

"Evidence? Of course there is no, but why is the city gate opened?" Yi Ming saw that Hu Min was angry at being said, so he couldn't help talking complacently.He was not even a third-rank official, but Zhu Qiyu appreciated him, so he got a minister of the Ministry of War and became a second-rank official of the Ming Dynasty.But even for this, he also knew that some senior ministers were still not used to him.Now, what Shangshu Hu can say is speechless, in the future, no one dares to look down on him in the court.

Hu Wei is a veteran of several dynasties, he has seen so many storms, how could he be questioned by a new nobleman Yiming?Hearing that the other party had no evidence, he couldn't help asking with a sneer: "Since there is no evidence, what Master Yi said just now is suspected of framing."

He didn't even call him Shangshu, but changed his name to "Master", the contempt in Hu's eyes was already very obvious.

A counterattack immediately made Yiming's face very ugly, but before he could think of something to counterattack, Hu Wei continued to say: "Recently, who doesn't know that Zhongdanhou bought a lot of property in the capital. Let me ask , if he didn't have absolute confidence in defending the capital, why would he do this?"

"This may be because he wants to calm people's minds. I mean, if he has already colluded with Wala, he will not touch his property when the foreign race enters the capital, right?" Yi Ming was asked and didn't know how to answer. He said that he measured the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Haha, a joke. This is nothing more than your wild guess. Who is Wala, the emperor and the officials must have known it in their hearts. This is a group of greedy people. If you want to deal with such people, how can they possibly Will he put away his greed because of people? If Zhongdanhou wants to make friends with Oala, he doesn't need to do this at all. Don't forget, who saved Yingzong from Oirat at the beginning. If he wants to There is no need to do such a thing if you have a good relationship with Wala."

When Yingzong's name was mentioned, all the officials gasped.That's right, if Yang Chendong was really such a picky person, there was no need to do that in the first place.This reason instantly convinced many people, including Daizong Zhu Qiyu.

"The loyal and courageous Yu Yingzong had the grace to save his life, but he didn't go to accompany the capital Nanjing a while ago? Presumably everyone can understand the central idea. This time, we are facing tremendous pressure to fight against the powerful enemy Oala, so we are still like this Wouldn't it be too chilling if you don't believe him?" Hu Min said with a look of arguing for Yang Chendong.In fact, he is also very optimistic about his grandson-in-law in his heart.

With Hu Wei's words, the excited group of officials quickly calmed down.Even the emperor Zhu Qiyu gained a lot of self-confidence because of these words, and said at the court: "Yes, loyal and courageous people are loyal to Daming, and no one should say such words in the future. Let us wait for the good news now. That is."

Because of Hu Wei's refusal to reason, the debate in the court was finally suppressed.Yang Chendong, who still knew nothing about these things, was standing on the tower of Deshengmen looking into the distance.He didn't know that Hu Wei had already helped him block the attacks of the ministers, so that he could lead the army to fight in front of him with peace of mind.

Of course, even without Hu Wei's help, Yang Chendong would not have surrendered his military power at this time, but there would be a lot of trouble.

Standing on the tower, when he put down the binoculars, he smiled and said to the four delicate women in camouflage uniforms standing aside: "You can take a look now, the Oirat cavalry is here!"
