At this time, the capital city was still as calm as before.

Although the city gates were closed, the grain and goods in the south stayed in Tongzhou, Tianjin and other places, resulting in a slight increase in prices in the capital.

But the dignitaries and the common people in the capital still lived their lives as usual. The reason why they were calm was that the Emperor Zhu Youxiao was not panicked, and the people below did not panic.

In order to prevent the fear of riots in the capital, Zhu Youxiao also dedicated to worshiping the Altar of Heaven and Earth at this time, and specially ordered Qian Qianyi to make the ceremony bigger so that the people in the capital knew that their emperor had the confidence to prevent the capital from being compromised by the Tartars.

However, although Zhu Youxiao deliberately did this, he went to court as usual, sacrificed as usual, held the selection of Hanlin Academy Shujis as usual, went to the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Academy of Sciences as usual, and came to the Imperial Guard barracks to speak with the Imperial Guard officers and soldiers as usual.

But the increasingly depressing atmosphere is obviously becoming stronger and stronger.

The Jinyiwei Tiqi galloped in a row in the city. Although they were not catching people everywhere like before, they still made the heartbeat of the whole capital city accelerate. Everyone knows that this situation only shows that the Tartars are still plundering the capital.

Otherwise, the news would not be transmitted so frequently, and the honorary relatives began to worry about whether the manor outside their city would be destroyed by the Tartars, and kept asking His Majesty to send troops to quell the Tartars rebellion.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was also sitting in the West Warehouse with anger on his face and listening to the report of the commander of the Jinyiwei Xu Xianchun.

Since the Tartars evacuated Jizhou City, Huang Taiji and other main Tartars began to flexibly and maneuverably ignite fires everywhere, from being slaughtered by Yutian to being slaughtered by Fengrun, and now Xianghe is hard to escape.

The north of the Ming Dynasty, which had just recovered some vitality due to the natural disaster, had to face another man-made disaster.

"The Tartars are all cavalry and have strong mobility. If they attack the capital, they can gather heavy troops to fight with them. But now Huang Taiji has learned from bandits and others not to fight big cities, but only plunder the grain and population, and only small cities. If this continues, even if the capital is not destroyed, countless people will be displaced in the Ming Dynasty, and more fields will be deserted. You cannot let the Tartars plunder like this, Your Majesty!"

Li Mingrui was full of worry and authenticity.

Zhu Youxiao did not answer, but clenched his fists tightly, and then ordered: "Wang Cheng'en, Wei Guangwei!"

"I'm here!"

"From now on, you two will be responsible for supervising the government affairs of the capital. You can report major matters to me immediately. You can decide on minor matters by yourself!"

Zhu Youxiao said that, and ordered Liu Ruoyu to be ordered: "You are fully responsible for the military affairs in the capital. If anything happens to me, you, the cabinet masters and the six ministers and nine ministers jointly presumed that the descendants of the royal family were crown princes!"

After hearing this, Wang Chengen, Wei Guangwei, Liu Ruoyu and others couldn't help but look at Zhu Youxiao in shock: "Your Majesty, are you trying?"

Zhu Youxiao just smiled and said, "You said that if the Tartars knew that I was not in the capital and there were only more than 10,000 new soldiers from the Imperial Guards around you, did you think Huang Taiji wanted to plunder property and population and go directly to the outside of the pass, or would he find a way to get rid of me, the Emperor of Ming?"

The ministers on duty at the Xihun Pavilion all knelt down without thinking: "No, Your Majesty, you are the king of ten thousand vehicles. How can you try to be dangerous? The Tartars have always been brave, and now they are even more strange whereabouts. There are tens of thousands of soldiers, and you only have more than 10,000 people. Without a strong city, it is difficult to win, Your Majesty!"

"Stop talking, I have decided. Since the capital cannot attract the Tartars, let me be the bait. I don't believe that the Tartars don't want to get rid of me!"

As Zhu Youxiao said that, he ordered Xu Xianchun, commander of the Jinyiwei, and said, "Transfer to Lu Xiangsheng, and let him temporarily control the king-supporting troops from all over the country except the capital, except for the capital, Ji Liao, Liaodong, Qin and Jin, and Shandong. When the Tatars fight with me, they must support me. If anyone winces, your Jinyiwei can kill him on the spot!"

...

The strong wind was blowing, and the northern di came, and the country was full of smoke. The more than 10,000 imperial guards outside the palace were straightening their backs and looking at Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, on the palace city. No one said anything, but everyone knew what they were going to do next.

Ten thousand imperial guards.

Twenty-one Ming No. 1 cannons and sixty-four Ming No. 2 cannons.

There are 4,500 infantry battalions in the Flintlock.

One thousand elite cavalry.

These are all the troops that Zhu Youxiao can control, but it is the most advanced army equipped by the Ming Dynasty now.

However, the ministers did not think that His Majesty’s tens of thousands of imperial guards could be compared with the barbaric Tartars. Liu Ruoyu even advised: “Your Majesty, don’t go.”

"If you disturb the morale of the army again, do you believe it or not, I will kill you now?" After Zhu Youxiao said this coldly, Liu Ruoyu had to shut up.

"Obai!"

Zhu Youxiao shouted loudly, and Oboi immediately turned his head: "I'm here!"

"Rise the dragon flag and play music", Zhu Youxiao did not intend to leave the capital secretly. He wanted to blatantly tell Huang Taiji that he had left the city and would use the majesty of the Emperor of Ming to sweep the court.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao also took a dragon chariot to go out of the battle, set up a guard of ceremonies, and deliberately left the city in a high-profile manner.

...

"Khan, I just got the news that Zhu Youxiao really left the capital and has now gone to Shunyi."

After the 18th Banner spy muttered a few words beside Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji couldn't help but laugh: "What exactly is Zhu Youxiao going to do? He didn't hide in the capital well, and he actually came out. Have you found out how many people are around him?"

"Not many, more than ten thousand people, they are all new recruits he trained a few months ago. It seems that this is his first fight."

At this time, Fan Wencheng lifted the curtain and walked in: "Shan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rid of Zhu Youxiao. With the courage of my Eight Banners athletes, can we still be able to defeat a group of child soldiers who have never killed anyone?"

"Transfer the mission, immediately turn around and rush to Shunyi. The Amin tribe finds a way to intercept Zhu Youxiao first and tell him that the Khan will arrive later. If this person can be eliminated, it will be the biggest gain of this entry into the pass."

As Huang Taiji said, Dorgon couldn't help but speak out: "Khan, Zhu Youxiao dared to leave the capital, so he must be prepared. In the past few days, we have seen his style of conduct. I'm afraid he will use himself as bait to lead us to the bait?"

"He Zhu Youxiao is just an ignorant child from the Palace Forbidden Courtyard. Could it be that he scared me tens of thousands of string-controlling men in the Eight Banners? Even if he has a net of heaven and earth, he has to see if he can stay in us. Dai Shan, you lead five hundred white armored soldiers, one thousand unarmed soldiers as the vanguard. Li Yongfang, you lead five thousand coats and bags with supplies and food and set off in an hour!"

As Zhu Youxiao expected, although Huang Taiji and others were wise and brave, they were too confident in their Eight Banners combat power. In other words, they also felt that they were the strongest army in the world, but they did not know that future wars would be dominated by the advantages and disadvantages of firearms.
