Chapter 338: Defense of the Capital 8

However, if you really leave them all, it would be a disaster. After all, there are too many people, and there are only a few official roads. At that time, you may not be able to walk for a few days or nights. Instead, people will be panic and cause a greater tragedy! Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people will die! After all, there is a saying that many ministers know, and the solid fortresses are often broken from the inside!

But this is not what these ministers care about. Anyway, they have been in high positions for many years and have many guards in the palace, so they act as soon as possible. They will definitely be able to arrive in Nanjing safely. [】.

The other ministers believed that they could not leave, and that they could only have hope if they stayed to fight the enemy. Moreover, the town was coming, and as long as they rely on the three camps to support them for a while, the Tartar soldiers would eventually fail. So the court, which was once serious, now turned into a vegetable market, and the two ministers held their own opinions. It was the man who said that the man had the right reason and the woman was right and the woman did not give in to each other.

In the end, when no one could convince anyone, everyone's eyes were on Chongzhen, who was looking forward to him being finalized.

Chongzhen's mood was also very complicated at this moment. To be honest, as a backbone king, he was unwilling to escape. Isn't there a saying, the king guards the country! However, the situation is really bad now. The enemy is very close to the capital, and the reinforcements are still far away. In Chongzhen's heart, he only believed in the town. Although there were several other reinforcements coming, Chongzhen knew that it was just a gesture! The danger of defending the capital can be imagined.

But, did you escape? Chongzhen was even more reluctant to do this. You must know that when he took over the mess of the Ming Dynasty from his father and brother, he secretly vowed to revive the Ming Dynasty. Although the situation in the Ming Dynasty was not as good as the first few years, the situation in the Ming Dynasty was getting worse and worse, but the heaven was pitiful and a general was descending. Now the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty has begun to show signs of riding the wind and waves again. Did he just run away like this?

This run is not difficult, what is difficult is that it will become a shame for his life!

"I have made up my mind to live and die with the capital!" Chongzhen was silent for a while, and suddenly said loudly. Hearing him say this, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became quiet and the ministers no longer quarreled! Because the ministers below have been dealing with him for a while, and have known the emperor's temper. As long as Chongzhen's face is now firm, he knows that his mind has been decided and it will never be possible to change!

"Dear friends, don't be afraid, the capital can be defended! And today the general of Zhenguo just wrote to me, saying that he would definitely arrive in front of the Tartar soldiers. Not to mention that the capital has three camps and one million ordinary people, even if they pile up, they would pile up the dogs and Tartars to death! So, everyone, cheer up and let the dogs and Tartars who dare to offend our Ming Dynasty, we Han people are not easy to bully!"

Chongzhen was holding more than 100 ministers in the court with bright eyes, encouraging them. To be honest, if it weren't for the dogs and tatars, Chongzhen would have said that those who violated my great power in the future would be punished even if they were far away!

Then Chongzhen took out the flying pigeon mail sent to him by Zhang Linqi and asked the ministers below to investigate one by one.

He believed in the prestige of the general in the country. Since it was the legend of the flying pigeon, it could not be a big thing, but just a note three fingers wide.

It’s just that the things are not big, but the meaning is quite big. Those ministers who passed the Fei Ge were originally in doubt, their faces became much better and more calm! And those who had not passed were all waiting with their eyes stretched their necks and waiting!

That anxious mood is like a devout believer waiting for the Lord’s blessing!

Because everyone knows that the key to this battle is whether the town can arrive in time, and as long as it arrives, there will be no suspense in the victory or defeat! Now, the legend of the flying pigeon written by the general of the Zhenguo is a must. To be honest, it is related to the safety of everyone here and the millions of people in the capital!

Since the notes were not much, not long after, all the ministers were finished. Because it was of great importance, even the lowest-level officials standing at the entrance of the hall had passed on. And it turned out that it was different from the previous panic atmosphere.

The atmosphere in the hall has become much more stable now.

Chongzhen nodded slightly in this scene. The prestige of the general in the country was very high! Just a note affected many people! But this was not enough. He also needed a heavyweight minister to stand up and speak! Thinking of this, Chongzhen's eyes began to touch around.

Of course, Chongzhen’s focus was Yang Sichang, the first person in the left hand. As the leader of the altar, he was a cabinet master. His words were very important and could represent a large number of ministers here. If he could speak up and support, things would be much easier.

At this time, Yang Sichang, who was versatile, obviously felt the gaze that Chongzhen cast. After thinking for a while, Yang Sichang began to speak. As he spoke, all the ministers' eyes were focused on him!

"Everyone, you can't escape! This is a good opportunity. It's a good opportunity to eliminate the Tartar soldiers in one fell swoop and solve the Ming Dynasty's old enemy!"

Yang Sichang shouted excitedly. Even because he was too excited, his three-foot-long beard on his chin was shaking! "As the saying goes, the right time, place, and people are in harmony, we are all in everything.

Now the Ming Dynasty is slowly recovering its vitality, and the people are at ease. This is the time!

The Tartar soldiers came to fight from the Baishan and Hei River, but they were still in the capital. They were not familiar with the land, while we were one acre of three-point land in our home, which was very mature. This is the right place!

Now when I was in court today, I also listened to the opinions of the market outside. Now most people advocate defending the city and resisting the enemy. The capital now has sufficient food and good conditions in all aspects. There is no reason to give up a solid city and escape! The sanitation of the capital is now very good, and all things such as stinky ditches and stinky canals have been eliminated. However, Zhang Linqi knew very well that in the original history, the reason why Li Zicheng was able to capture the capital smoothly and easily was related to a great plague broke out in the capital at that time! Nine out of ten soldiers fell down, how could he fight?

This is the human being! The ancients said that if you take the same, you can fight in one battle, and if you take the same two, you can be sure of six points. What's more, we have all three of them, so we can fight in one battle! And more importantly, the general of Zhenguo has the confidence to win and the heroic spirit of soaring into the sky. How good it is to say it! And don't forget that the general of Zhenguo is still in the capital!

There is also his newborn son! I think many of you here have gone to the full moon wine! The General Zhenguo has made it clear that his family will not leave the capital, nor will he let his family be in danger. So, please calm down!" Yang Sichang said excitedly.

Yang Sichang has not made any statement just now because he knows that this has a great relationship! He is at his current high position, every word and action is a vane, and he must be very cautious, let alone such a big thing! Moreover, aside from the national interests, even if he personally needs to consider many things, he has a great family in the capital and has hundreds of people!

Now, he felt that the opportunity was ripe, and it was time to express his opinion. He also remembered what Zhang Linqi had said to him before, and they were both fighting to govern the country one by one, and striving to be a famous minister for all eternity! In the original history, Yang Sichang was indeed a famous minister for all eternity, but he was notorious.

Now, as long as you defend the capital and defeat the Tartar soldiers, you will definitely be remembered forever and become a famous minister forever! After all, for someone like Yang Sichang, the attraction of being a famous minister forever is huge!

When many ministers heard Yang Sichang's statement, they nodded. After all, Yang Sichang's statement was clear and reasonable. Originally, it was a war or a retreat or a fog, but now after hearing what he said, the prospects are much clearer.

"I agree with Mr. Yang Ge's opinion." As soon as Yang Sichang finished speaking, the voice of Zhang Bing of the Ministry of Justice sounded. He was Zhang Qingci's father-in-law and Zhang Linqi's father-in-law. He had passed the message of Zhang Linqi's flying pigeon, and he had the content that his family would not retreat. Since the son-in-law had made up his mind, he naturally had to show off his father-in-law and strongly support him!

Although Zhang Bing's supporters were much less than Yang Sichang, as the saying goes, one fence has three stakes, one hero has three gangs, and Zhang Bing sat at the high position of the Ministry of Justice. He also had several die-hard supporters in the court. His statement immediately aroused many people's controversy. Therefore, the atmosphere of the main battle became more obvious!

"I also advise you that we must firmly guard the capital and not let this famous city be shamed! And I also want to remind you that if anyone has any unfaithful intentions, then try to get out of this Beijing city!" At this moment, Fang Wei also spoke. His keen eyes swept over the faces of each minister. Those ministers with conscience were nothing but the ministers, but those who had ulterior motives lowered their heads and did not dare to look at his eyes!

Because Fang Wei is now amazing, he is the commander of the Jinyiwei as the new official.

He controlled hundreds of thousands of Jinyiwei men. And everyone knew that although Fang Wei had handed over the position of the West Factory as the top position in the West Factory, he was still the one who was the one who was the West Factory. It can be said that he was equal to the Jinyiwei and the West Factory boss. The two major departments combined, there were 20,000 people in the capital, which was enough to control any situation! And as he spoke,

The situation was completely settled. Yang Sichang belonged to a human being, Fang Wei belonged to a military man, and they were all important officials of the country. When Wu spoke out, the matter was determined.

"Very good, I announce that the matter of defending the city has been settled, and no one can object. Fang Wei, if you find anyone showing signs of running away, you can take him down and punish him at any time!"

"It's the empress who obeys the order!" Fang Wei said loudly. With this reconciliation, many ministers' little thoughts were shattered. Because they all knew that although the capital was large, there were only a few gates that could enter and exit. At that time, as long as the Xichang Fanzi guarded the gate, they would not be able to come out of the city! Even if they had wings, they would not be able to find out!

People just need to force them. Since these ministers know that they are tied up in this chariot and do not want to be buried with them, they have to change their positions and work hard to defend themselves!

"My dear friends, what we need to discuss now is how to effectively strengthen the defense of the capital..." Chongzhen said with a happy face.

"Your Majesty, I mean to strengthen the inspection at the city gate to prevent the spies from infiltrating..."

"Qi Bian Huang..."

"Qi Bian Huang..."
