In the second year of Chongzhen, on the fifth day of November, early in the morning.

Martial law in the capital.

The fluttering snow finally stopped, the entire capital was covered in white, and the temperature suddenly dropped.

This is the childhood season approaching, without a trace of New Year atmosphere, the city is deserted, and there is no small stall vendor. The wealthy families are busy loading up the gold, silver and soft carts, waiting to find an opportunity to get out.

The news that the Tartars were about to attack the capital has long been known to the whole city.

at this time.

Zhu Youjian, who summoned all the ministers, walked back and forth constantly, his face full of anxiety and anxiety.

My already pale face turned blue and red, and a layer of sweat was oozing out of this cold day.

I couldn't help cursing in my heart.

Once others travel through time, they are either sister-in-law or marquis or something.

He is a wealthy family, a beautiful wife, a teased maid, or something.

It's a romantic life!

He was so good that he seemed to have arranged an Emperor Chongzhen.

But before a few days of happiness, I encountered this deadly change in Ji Si.

As a pseudo-Ming fan, he also knew that the Ming Dynasty was still in its prime and was calm in his heart.

Being an emperor is essentially a good job.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Ming Dynasty had been in the tenth day of its aura, he was in the harem of the three thousand beauties.

Isn't it smell good?

But the cowardly ministers in front of them cried and shouted that they would discuss countermeasures and resist the Tartars.

It’s okay to have a court meeting, but come up with a plan to defend the enemy?

After a long period of struggle, one by one either "the weak minister is guilty" or "the weak minister dies."

Or just lower your head and pretend to be dead.

It's useful.

So far, no soldiers and soldiers have seen the king-supporting army.

He was also a little anxious.

On October 29, Huang Taiji's Later Jin army passed through Mongolia and had already broken through the Great Wall Pass Longjing Pass and Da'ankou, and went directly to Zunhua.

Zunhua is only three hundred miles away from the capital. If Zunhua falls, the capital will not be able to be protected.

From the 14th year of Zhengtong to the 19th year of Jisi, the capital city has not experienced war for a full 180 years.

During this period, although the Gengxu Incident was underway, the Tatar army only looted the suburbs of Beijing and did not attack the city.

"Wang Qia, you are the Minister of War, you said!"

Zhu Youjian was so angry that he looked around the ministers whose heads were almost hanging down to their crotch and called them directly.

"I think that the great power of the Great Ming Dynasty is the god of my emperor and the general Zhao will be able to block the enemy in Zunhua, and the capital will definitely be fine!"

Wang Qia said with a tough bullet.

I didn't have any confidence in what I said.

Although Zhao Rujiao was a famous general in Liaodong, he only brought 4,000 troops. Can he block 80,000 Later Jin troops?

He packed up his gold, silver and fine materials last night and was about to run away. He came to see you today to find an opportunity to get out of the city.

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has arrived!" As soon as the words finished, the eunuch Gao Qiqian came to report in panic.

"What are you panic? I think!" Zhu Youjian scolded coldly.

"Zhao Ruijiao General failed to intercept him, the entire army was destroyed, Zun... Zunhua... fell,"

"What?"

"this……"

"Tartars are like tigers and wolfs..."

All the ministers' faces were as clear as earth, and their hearts were sinking to their ankles.

Wang Qia's eyes turned dark and he almost fainted...

Even if we don’t expect Zhao Rujiao to block the Later Jin army, we can always delay it so that we can buy time for other reinforcements.

"When will Zunhua fall?" Zhu Youjian asked angrily.

"Zunhua fell on the second day of November!"

Gao Qiqian said tremblingly.

Suddenly, the ministers on the platform turned pale.

It has been three days since Huang Taiji drove straight into the city, and his troops had already arrived.

"It's been three days? I'm just here to report now? Do you think your head is hard enough?" Zhu Youjian said angrily.

"When will reinforcements arrive? How long will Yuan Chonghuan's army arrive? Do all the people in the Ministry of War set up?"

"The edict has been issued for two days, and it will be only two or three days at a later date!"

"The troops and horses of Datong, Changping, Xuanfu, and Baoding should be here today and tomorrow."

Wang Qia glanced at other colleagues from the corner of his eyes, but these old guys all pretended to be dead and didn't respond at all.

As the Minister of War, Wang Qia had no choice but to reply.

"So long? When they arrive, my head may have moved long ago!"

Zhu Youjian was furious, and these people were useless.

"My emperor calms down, my uncle is guilty of death!"

When the emperor got angry, the ministers knelt down in unison and shouted in unison.

"I just know how to shout slogans, but I'm going to come up with a way!"

Not to mention, Zhu Youjian was really angry.

Although it means that the court is not dead, these ministers are too incompetent.

"Emperor, although the Tartars are fierce, we should just hold on for two or three days, and there should be no big problem!"

An old man in his sixties stood up and said.

"Bold Sun Chengzong, the monarch and ministers report it, so you can speak."

Wang Qia shouted angrily.

At this time, Sun Chengzong had already retired and was temporarily summoned.

When he heard that it was Sun Chengzong, Zhu Youjian suddenly felt energetic.

As the creator of Guanning’s defense line, he said there was a way, and there was probably a little hope.

"Why did you see it?" Zhu Youjian asked hurriedly.

"The capital city has high walls and thick walls. Even if the troops are weak, it is not easy to attack the city. This is one of them."

"The Tartars were already exhausted from raiding from a long distance and were short of food and supplies. Our army was waiting for labor and was able to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. The enemy would not be able to fight for a long time. This is the second one."

"My army will arrive soon. The enemy is afraid that the enemy will cut off its retreat and dare not fight. These are the third ones."

What Sun Chengzong said is indeed reasonable.

"The emperor cannot do it. The 100,000 Tartars are not strong enough. At present, our city defense is powerless to stop it. Only by discussing peace and moving the capital is the best strategy!"

Before Zhu Youjian could speak, Wang Qia, the Minister of War, quickly stood up and said.

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Almost all the ministers immediately stood up without thinking and agreed.

These corrupt and incompetent ministers.

They were almost like Wang Qia, not thinking about how to save the capital, but how to carry gold, silver and soft materials and escape from the concubines at home.

It would be strange if the Ming Dynasty did not go to destruction.

"Emperor, the Tartars...the Tartars have arrived in Tongzhou."

Zhu Youjian was about to scold these soft boys, but when he saw Gao Qiqian, who had already withdrawn, staggered and said.

"Tongzhou? Are you here in Tongzhou so soon?"

Now, Zhu Youjian's heart was so hungry that he was really panicked, and the sweat on his forehead fell down his ears.

The Tartars arrived so soon? They were at a loss!

Tongzhou is the gate of the capital, only forty miles away from the capital.
