Chapter 253 Sunset West Mountain

Ying Yi's general flag is also the Chiyou flag. The whole color is ink and there are cloud patterns on it. The Chiyou statue is embroidered with red lines. The big "Ying" character in the middle is extremely golden and radiant.

In the night wind, flags and banners were flying. Ying Yi sat down under the banner. Ten soldiers armed to the teeth stood like statues, pressing their swords silently and unshaking.

The sun and the moon alternate, and the light and dark cycle are reincarnated. From Wu to Hai, cross the Kan that connects two days, and enter the next day, the night becomes deeper, and then Chou, Yin, Mao, and to the end of Mao, the night fades, and before Chen, the sky is already brighter.

Ying Yi slowly stood up, and under the city, the Tartars' camps began to be full of vitality.

...

"I'm a dog, I've been walking for ten days in three hundred miles. It's so fast, let me wait!"

Zhao Jin cursed and spitted: "Brothers, Tang Tong, who is so involved in doggy affairs, what do you think should I do?!"

"Kill his dog!"

The soldiers shouted wildly, and the sound shook the world.

"Yes. Kill his dog to death!" Zhao Jin's burly figure was shrouded in the armor, and he suddenly raised his spear: "Kill me, kill Tang Tong and kill Tartars!"

When Tang Tong rushed to Qinghedian like a turtle, a war of huge disparity in troops began under the nose of Emperor Chongzhen.

Qinghedian is located west of the capital, only more than ten miles away. A few days ago, an elite force of 3,000 was stationed here, posing a huge threat to the capital. Emperor Chongzhen was unwilling to passively take over the battle and issued an edict to fight. The Governor's Office of the Five Army finally organized 30,000 troops to go out of the city to fight, but was defeated in an instant and returned in a mess.

Just five days ago, under Ying Yi, Zhu Bingkun, Zheng Jiu, Zheng Wu, and Qian Yue, two troops met in Liangxiang, south of the capital. The 45,000 troops were majestic and shocked the people in the capital.

At that time, Emperor Chongzhen was unable to stand still, but he could only close the city gates and did not even dare to make any provocation. However, unexpectedly, this army had only stayed in Liangxiang for less than half a day, and then they all set up camps and passed the capital and went east.

While this made the Ming court confused, it also made a cold sweat of luck.

However, after this army led to the camp east, it left behind a group of 3,000 troops stationed in Qinghedian, which was outside the west of the capital.

The three thousand troops were only a mere slap. The main force went east and gave Emperor Chongzhen the courage to take the initiative to send troops to fight.

However, what made Emperor Chongzhen look disgusted was that the only remaining 30,000 yuan was defeated by three thousand rebels. It took less than half a day from leaving the city to retreating.

This army was left by Zhu Bingkun. The general Zhao Jin was aimed at Tang Tong, Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to serve the king. The only remaining established troops on the northern land were the only remaining Xuanda and Guanning defenders after Hou Xun's entire army were wiped out.

The only one who responded to the king was Tang Tong, the general of Xuanfu. Jiang Guan, the general of Datong, refused on the grounds that the Tatar Tumote tribe was abnormally moved, and there was no need to say about the Liaodong Army in Guanning.

These news was promptly transmitted to the army through Tian Hongyu's Jinyiwei. Although Zhu Bingkun did not think that Tang Tong had any combat effectiveness, he would not allow Tang Tong to cause any trouble to the Northern Expedition.

Therefore, it is necessary to leave a unit of troops, whether it is to defeat Tang Tong, restrain Tang Tong, or even deter the capital.

So Zhao Jin's troops were kept.

The superiors and subordinates of Zhao Jin's troops naturally refused, but the military orders were as good as mountains and they had to be followed. Therefore, a burst of anger Zhao Zhun and Tang Tong fell on him for no reason.

But what made Zhao Jin even more angry was that Tang Tong said he was serving the king. He only took a few hundred miles from Xuanfu to the capital, but he actually walked for ten days. Five days before Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu's army met in Liangxiang, the Jinyiwei sent a message.

After the meeting, Zhao Jin was ordered to station in Qinghedian. After waiting for another five days, Tang Tong arrived late.

How could Zhao Jin not be angry?

He also wants to kill the Tartars!

But it was so unlucky that this waste here was dragged by Tang Tong, the waste here for five days!

So as soon as Tang Tong's army arrived near Qinghedian, they were attacked by Zhao Jin's troops. Three thousand soldiers and horses came out in full swing and fought in formation. The fierce artillery fire only took place for one round and then defeated Tang Tong's front army. Tang Tong's front army was defeated and affected the central army. The rear army, before Zhao Jin could attack, his tens of thousands of troops were defeated!

Tang Tong fled in a panic, Zhao Jin refused to resist and chased after him for hundreds of miles, chasing him to Aries' mouth, and forced him to kill Tang Tong's head before leading his army back.

Zhao Jin's troops did not stop in Qinghedian, but went straight to the capital. In the fear of the defenders of the capital, they threw Tang Tong's head into the city, and then they slowly set up camp outside the capital gate.

In addition to guarding against the impact of the Ming court's army on Ying Yi's extermination of the Tartars, Zhao Jin's troops also had the purpose of deterring the capital and blocking the capital.

In Zhu Bingkun's view, the Ming court was vulnerable. But we must also beware of the Ming court's escape from the capital. This is not impossible.

In the original history, civil and military officials in the court had persuaded Emperor Chongzhen to flee south. Although Emperor Chongzhen did not agree, Zhu Bingkun didn't know after all. He just wanted to be in case.

Once the Ming court fled south, the final results of this northern expedition would be greatly reduced. Neither Ying Yi nor all the generals under his command would want to see this result.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was pale and his expression was dazed. Suddenly, Wang Chengen hurried in, and the messy footsteps woke Emperor Chongzhen up.

Emperor Chongzhen saw Wang Chengen's haggard and panic expression, and couldn't help but feel a thrill in his heart and said, "Company..."

Wang Chengen knelt down on the ground with a thud and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, move the capital!"

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned, his face changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up: "What did you say?! Dog slave!"

Wang Chengen knocked his head and said, "Your Majesty! Tang Tong is defeated! The army of the king... is gone!" He cried loudly, his voice was astonished as thunder. Emperor Chongzhen staggered and almost fell.

"...you...what did you say?!" Emperor Chongzhen rushed to the Your Step a few steps and grabbed Wang Chengen: "What did you say?! What happened to the King's Army? What happened to Tang Tong?!"

Wang Chengen was just speechless.

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a while, and threw away Wang Chengen dejectedly, and suddenly laughed: "Tang Tong was defeated, the army of the king was gone? Emperor Hongwu, his descendants are unfilial!"

At this time, hurried and messy steps came from outside the hall, and saw several ministers from the cabinet coming together, all of them looking like they were lost. Emperor Chongzhen smiled and his face turned pale.

He turned around and sat down, maintaining the dignity of an emperor, and said, "You are not edicted, what should I come to see me?"

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, removed his crown and crawled on the ground: "The old minister is guilty!"

The second assistant Wu Qi burst into tears: "Your Majesty, move the capital!"
