Chapter 1547: Soldiers Approaching the City

"Your Majesty! Quickly call King Qin's army into the capital!" They tried to obstruct the army of King Qin in every possible way before, but now that the Tartars have broken through, they immediately changed their minds.

"Oh? Didn't you say that the border towns don't maintain military discipline, and rush into the important places in the capital for fear of causing trouble? Also, isn't the household department short of money? When the army enters the capital, how to solve the problem of food and pay?" Shen Long said with a sneer, Now that Huang Taiji had already rushed over to gain his reputation, he didn't bother to continue to hide his strength and bide his time, so he turned back unceremoniously.

If an ordinary person heard Shen Long slandering himself with what he had said, he would have lowered his head in shame. However, I, an official of Ming Dynasty, is not so thick-skinned. It is prudent for the minister to oppose the army to serve the king, and now the army is called to Beijing for the sake of the country and the country!"

Hehe, if you are really thinking about Jiangshan Sheji, then you should resign as soon as possible and go home early. Getting rid of people like you is the greatest contribution to Daming!

"Absurd, as a minister of the imperial court, how can you go back on what you say?" Shen Long just didn't bother to talk to him. Such brazen people would just chop up and ransack the house after Huang Taiji left.

"My soldier, how is the rectification of Ji Town going?" No matter what he said, Shen Long didn't plan to call up soldiers and King Qin. The four guards of Tengxiang alone were enough to defeat Huang Taiji's army. They could only cause bad things if they came. It will also strengthen the strength of Gao Yingxiang and Wang Jiayin. Shen Long ignored King Qin's request and asked Liang Tingdong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

He has now figured out the rules of the Ming court. As the emperor himself, it may not be easy to do something, but if he doesn't want to do something, he will definitely not be able to do it. Without his own will, how dare the military town send troops to serve the king? Sending troops into Beijing without authorization is a serious crime of treason, and you will lose your head!

"After receiving the decree, I didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. I immediately selected cadres to go to Xifengkou, Zunhua, Jimen, Tongzhou, Sanhe and other places to rectify the military discipline of the city defense. I made some small achievements. However, time was tight. Not enough supply, not...not all repaired." Liang Tingdong broke out in a cold sweat, if these places were broken, he would be finished, so at this time, he didn't care about offending his colleagues, so he hurriedly dumped A few pots.

"What does Liang Shangshu mean by this? The household department has no money and can't make it out of thin air!"

"Yes, the Ministry of Industry is struggling to supply Liaodong, so what is there to spare? If Liang Shangshu is dissatisfied, the minister has not resigned." The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry are willing to take over? Some even sensed the danger and planned to run away.

The two sides were in a mess again in the court hall, and immediately a censor came out to impeach them for the crime of disrespect in the palace, and the officials stopped and asked Shen Long for their crimes.

Shen Long ignored them, and turned his attention to the British lord Zhang Weixian, "British lord, if Jian slaves enter the customs, will the Beijing camp be worthy of a battle?"

"His Majesty,

The Beijing camp has been abandoned for many years. If it is a wild battle, I am afraid that they will not be the opponents of the Tartars! "Zhang Weixian could only bite the bullet and answer, what fighting power does the Jingying have now.

I raised you nobles in the Ming Dynasty and hoped that you could lead troops to fight. Now it seems that it was for nothing. Shen Long stared at Zhang Weixian and continued to ask, "Then it is possible to defend the city?"

Now Zhang Weixian didn't dare to say no more, if he couldn't fight the war and defend the city, then why would the emperor still need these nobles and the Beijing camp? "The minister personally led the Beijing camp to defend the city."

"That's good." After all, you are promising. If you continue to say no, then the British public line will be cut off from you. Shen Long looked back and glanced at the officials of the Ministry of Households, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of War, "British But if you need anything, as long as it is needed for defending the city, report it to me, and I will let the Ministry of Households, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of War handle it!"

"Your Majesty, even if the Jingying can defend the city, there will be no King Qin's army. When will the Tatars retreat?" Some people strongly demanded to summon the King Qin, but Shen Long still did not agree, and directly announced his withdrawal from the court.

After the dynasty was dispersed, the officials were panicked. The Tartar army had already entered the customs, but His Majesty refused to summon an army to serve the king. Could it be that he was only counting on the Beijing camp? Then the capital city is in danger! No, I can't stay in the capital and wait to die, so some people started to clean up their money, sell their properties, resign from their official positions and prepare to run away.

"All the memorials of resignation will be kept in the Central Committee, and their names will be written down. I want to see who dares to run away. After I beat back the Tartars, I will settle accounts with them!" Shen Long ordered, and Cao Huachun and Lu Wenzhao took the order immediately, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei went out at the same time, so they would definitely be able to dig out the details of these people.

"Guo Zhen, if there is any change in the seller's property, you can send someone to severely lower the price!" Well, this is a good opportunity to make money, and they are all eager to escape. The property usually worth 10,000 taels may be now. You can get it for two thousand taels or one thousand taels, so buying it now is definitely a big profit.

"Ding Baiying, training soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, I have never treated Tengxiang Four Guards badly in the past two years, now is the time for you to serve Daming! Can you do it?"

"Your servants will surely live up to the emperor's grace!" Ding Baiying, Ding Jiaqian and other generals in the army knelt down and saluted. After more than two years of training, coupled with various new cannons and muskets, they were full of confidence in defeating the Tartars.

"Okay, let's go down and make preparations first, let the Beijing camp block for a while, and then lead the army out of the city to fight when the Tartars lose their spirit." After all, this is their first time in battle, Shen Long thinks it's better to be careful.

In just six days, Huang Taiji's army broke through from Xifeng Pass, captured Zunhua, Jimen, Congsanhe, Tongzhou, and then went straight to the capital city. Compared with the original history, it took twice as long. It seems that before Shen Long asked Liang Tingdong to rectify the city, it still had some effect.

When the Tazi flag appeared on the outskirts of Beijing, the capital immediately fell into chaos. Many officials and people packed up their belongings and fled out of the city. Shen Long didn't care about ordinary people at all; He asked Dongchang and Jin Yiwei to write down all the names of these people, and to settle accounts with them in the future!

At the same time, he ordered officials in Beijing, relatives of the emperor, and veteran generals to take their family members to patrol and guard the city wall to strengthen the city's defense.

Shen Long also put on his armor, climbed up the tower together with many important officials in the court, and watched the movement of Huang Taiji's army from a distance. Lian and others, in command of the four right-wing banners of Manchuria and the right-wing Mongolian soldiers, set up a formation outside Desheng Gate and began to invite battle to the city.

Seeing this, all the honorable generals of the Beijing camp lowered their heads, not daring to go out of the city to fight the Tartars.
