"General, are you looking for me?" Zhao Wu came in from outside.
Liu Heng picked up the newly written warrant from the table and handed it over. At the same time, he said: "Take this warrant and give it to the attendant team, and ask them to send someone to deliver it to the Dragoon Division as soon as possible."
"yes."
Zhao Wu took the order with both hands, turned around and walked out.
Liu Heng looked at Yang Yuan on the side and said: "The Foreign Intelligence Bureau should try its best to find out all the news about the Liaodong army and send the news back in time, so that our army generals can know themselves and the enemy."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now." Yang Yuan bowed and turned to leave.
The temperature of the tea in the tea vat became suitable. Liu Heng took it up and took a big sip. He spit out a few tea leaves from his mouth, then stood up and came to the map hanging on the wall again.
"After this battle, it's almost time to capture all of Shanxi." He looked at the location of Shanxi on the map.
Now that nearly half of the prefectures and counties in Shanxi have fallen into the hands of the Tiger Banner, the remaining prefectures cannot hold on for long. As long as the army sent by the imperial court from Liaodong is defeated, he believes that the remaining prefectures will If you act with a clear mind, the resistance will be much weakened. More importantly, if the tiger-character flag is won in this battle, more rebel forces will appear, and the court will not be able to continue to deal with the tiger-character flag. Instead, it will need to put out fires everywhere.
And he will be the one who blows the trumpet of righteousness.
Snapped!
A tureen with a dragon pattern was thrown to the ground. However, the ground was covered with a thick blanket, and most of the tea in the tureen was left, but the tureen was intact.
The little eunuch next to him hurriedly jumped to the ground, picked up the tureen from the blanket, wiped the water stains on the surface with his sleeves, and held it carefully in his hand.
"Your Majesty, calm down." Wei Zhongxian gently stroked Tianqi's back with his hand.
"They are all a bunch of trash. I sent three support troops to support Shanxi, but these people in Shanxi gave up half of Shanxi. Even the King of Jin became a prisoner of the bandits." Emperor Tianqi breathed heavily. , chest rising and falling.
There is an open memorial book on the table, leaning against the table.
Wei Zhongxian took a new cup of tea from the hand of the palace maid and brought it to Tianqi. At the same time, he said: "His Royal Highness, King Jin, is fine. Didn't he say that he would be put back? Now he is rushing to King Jian of Luzhou."
"It's better not to put it back and die in the hands of the bandits." Tianqi cursed angrily.
After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian turned around and waved his hand at the palace maids and eunuchs waiting on the side, saying: "You all stand down, and no one is allowed to spread what I just said."
Several palace maids and eunuchs bowed to Tianqi and retreated to the outside.
"I'm not afraid of spreading the news. The dignified King of Jin, the royal clan, is not in Taiyuan and swears to defend Taiyuan City to the death. He even asked me to find a new fiefdom for him. I will give him the Prince's Mansion in Datong. Does he dare to go?" Tianqi said bitterly.
Wei Zhongxian on the side advised: "Your Majesty, please don't get angry because of these things. If King Jin has already gone to King Jian, let him stay with King Jian temporarily until the imperial court regains Taiyuan City." It’s not too late to let him go back.”
"I was just about to ask you, where is the army from Liaodong? How long will it take to reach Datong? This Liu thief is really hateful. The Ningyuan incident has not made me happy for a long time, but he is causing trouble for me in Shanxi. It's really You deserve to die." Tianqi gritted his teeth and said.
Since he became emperor, everything has not gone well for him.
One after another, the cities in Liaodong were captured by slave thieves. In the end, the imperial court could only stay on the front line of Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and all the land outside the pass fell into the hands of slave thieves.
After finally achieving two major victories against the slave thieves this year, another Liu thieves appeared in Datong and occupied the Xuanda Prefecture. Later in the year, they attacked Shanxi and captured the Taiyuan Prefecture.
Wei Zhongxian said: "You need to ask the Ministry of War where the army is. If your Majesty wants to know, I will send someone to the Ministry of War to inquire."
"Send someone over to ask. If he hasn't arrived yet, ask the Ministry of War to urge him. Then send someone to Juyongguan to give Xing Youwei, the governor of Xuan, Shang Fang's sword." Tianqi said.
Wei Zhongxian bowed and said, "I'll do it right now."
"Go!" Tianqi waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
Wei Zhongxian backed down and backed out.
When he came to the outside, he looked at the palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside, and said: "You all listen to our family. Before, the emperor swallowed everything he said about His Highness Prince Jin. Who dares to reveal a secret? Words, watch your skin carefully."
"I don't dare, slave."
"Young ones don't dare."
The palace maids and eunuchs kept saying they didn't dare.
After scaring him, Wei Zhongxian said again: "Okay, let's all go in and wait on him. The emperor is in a bad mood recently, so please be careful and don't offend the emperor."
Several palace maids and eunuchs, as if granted amnesty, entered the inner room where Tianqi was.
Wei Zhongxian watched everyone go in and said to himself with a cold face: "Our family really underestimates you. A small businessman has such wolfish ambitions. If I had known, our family should have strangled you to death."
But before he could fire the gun, an arrow shot from the roof on one side. An arrow hit the arm holding the gun. As soon as he let go, the gun fell to the ground.
Chen Qingfu, who had received an arrow in his arm, looked towards the roof.
I saw an archer standing on the roof with a bow in his hand, but no arrows were seen on it.
"Damn it, if you have the guts to kill me, you can't be considered a good man by teasing me." Chen Qingfu spat hard on the ground and did not pick up the musket on the ground.
With the archers watching, he knew he had no chance to pick up the blunderbuss.
Now that he had become a lamb on the chopping board, he simply sat on the ground and waited for the last moment to come.
With so many companions dead and wounded, even if he was rushing to hell now, he felt that he was not alone on the road.
boom! boom! boom!
Just as he was waiting to die, intensive firecrackers sounded around the village.
Then there were bursts of shouts of killing.
Chen Qingfu, who had closed his eyes and waited for death, looked around and found that the officers, soldiers and cavalry who had been besieging them all now rode out of the village, while the peasants and soldiers who had been waiting to be killed were no longer cared about.
Without the threat of the enemy, several peasants and soldiers nearby came to Chen Qingfu's side.
"Go up to the roof and take a look. What's going on outside the village?" Chen Qingfu did not ask anyone to help him, but asked a peasant soldier who seemed uninjured to climb the roof.
After listening to his words, the other party ran into a nearby house, stepped on the courtyard wall, and quickly climbed to the roof.
"What's going on outside?" Chen Qingfu sat on the ground and asked the people on the roof with his head raised.
The peasants and soldiers standing on the roof looked around for a long time, then looked at Chen Qingfu and others below, and shouted: "A group of cavalry is coming, and they are besieging the official cavalry."
