Zhu Qizhenhe and others first heard that there were 100,000 shi of military rations, and looked at each other with knowing smiles.
Boyan Timur was also very happy. Among the entire Oara army, the one who wanted Zhu Qizhen to be restored the most was Boyan Timur, followed by Ye first.
Some families were happy and some were sad. Xi Ning, who was standing next to Ye Xian, frowned deeply and cursed in his heart: If the Supreme Emperor returns to the capital and resumes his throne, do you still have to think about the end of yourself as a traitor? , must have been executed in Lingchi. I don't know what the new emperor, a loser, is thinking about, but he has no restrictions on an important town like Datong, and he just lets his generals do whatever they want.
Xi Ning kept cursing the new emperor in his heart, and then heard Zhu Qizhen smile to Liu An and say: "Uncle Guang Ning, among all the generals in Shanxi, you are the only one who is loyal to me. When I return to Beijing and restore my throne, I will give you the title of promotion." As a hereditary and irreplaceable marquis, your family will enjoy wealth forever from generation to generation."
Liu An was overjoyed when he heard this, thanked Tian En, took out a map from his arms, and presented it to him.
Zhu Qizhen asked curiously: "What is this?"
Liu An replied: "I once returned to the capital on your Majesty's orders. After that, the new emperor ordered me to return to Shanxi and still serve as the chief military officer to guard Datong.
I am returning to Datong via Zijingguan Pass. On the way, under the orders of the new king, he inspected the defense of Zijin Pass. This is the defense map of Zijingguan drawn by me, as well as the list of defenders. "
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qizhen quickly ordered Yuan Bin to take the map, read it carefully, and then handed it to Ye Xian.
After reading it first, he was overjoyed and paid homage to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty is indeed blessed. With the defense plan of Zijin Pass, the army can break through the pass in less than two days. We will rob the food tomorrow and set off the day after tomorrow, at full speed." If we move forward, we will reach the city of Beijing in seven or eight days.
Moreover, we have 100,000 shi of military rations, and it is no problem to besiege Beijing for a month. Nowadays, Beijing is full of third-rate Ming troops. If things go wrong, they will just open the door and dedicate the city.
Your Majesty is truly the right one blessed with good fortune, and I would like to offer you a glass of wine. "
Zhu Qizhen drank the cup happily and asked bitterly: "Grand Master, guess what is the first thing I will do after I return to the throne?"
Hearing the words first, he replied with the same hatred: "Kill your brother who usurped the throne and conspired to rebel, as a warning to others."
Boyan Timur's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he quickly raised his glass and drank it all to cover up the past.
Zhu Qizhen didn't take it seriously, shook his head and replied: "The grand master is wrong, my younger brother is in trouble, he was just kidnapped by a traitor, I don't blame him.
What I hate most are the rebellious ministers who guard Shanxi. After resetting, the first thing to do is to kill all these people.
The first person to be killed was Yang Hong, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, who lied about the military situation and abandoned the city. The second person to be killed is Yu Qian, Sanyang's crony who has been governor of Shanxi for nineteen years but has made no achievements and has seriously neglected his duties. "
As soon as Zhu Qizhen finished speaking, he immediately denied what he said: "No, no, no, no, the first one to kill should be Yu Qian.
Yu Qian was transferred back to the capital from Shanxi last year, but this year Shanxi is in such chaos. The Shanxi garrison was in decay, its defenses were lax, its military discipline was in disarray, and it had no fighting capacity.
He had been a governor for nineteen years and turned a blind eye, as if none of Shanxi's problems existed. And no matter what memorial he submitted to the court, Sanyang would always be there, nodding his head like garlic.
Why did my father use such a bunch of traitors? "
Hearing the words first, he quickly expressed his intention to eliminate traitors and traitors for the emperor. After everyone chatted for a while, Guangning Bo Liu An took his leave and returned to the city. And Yexian arranged for his younger brother Polo to lead his troops to rob the grain and grass shipped out of Datong City early tomorrow morning.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, the south gate of Datong City was opened wide, and grain and grass were shipped out of the city on time.
Thousands of soldiers drove the grain carts out of the south gate and headed west to Dingbian Guards.
However, not long after the grain escorts left, they heard the sound of a cannon, and then the Wala cavalry, which had been in ambush for a long time, rushed out and surrounded the grain escorts.
There were over 10,000 Ora cavalrymen, so the grain escorts neither resisted nor dispersed. They all stood still.
Bo Luo rode out and came to the food guard general.
However, before Boluo could speak, a scene happened that stunned everyone in Wala: The Ming army general who led them gave an order, and all the Ming soldiers put down their weapons and raised their arms and shouted: Long live the Emperor, long live, long live.
Most of the Oara people present did not understand Chinese, but most people could still understand the five words "Long Live the Emperor".
As a result, all the Wala people looked at each other and behaved at a loss. They were too embarrassed to grab food, let alone go up to kill people.
In the end, Polo waved his hand to the Ming army, indicating that they should leave on their own.
The Wala cavalry cleared a road and allowed the grain escorts to disperse and flee back to Datong City.
When it was approaching noon, Zhu Qizhen, Ye Xian and Boyan Timur were sitting in the Chinese army tent. Just when they were about to have dinner together, Boluo walked in excitedly.
When he saw Bo Luo first, he scolded him: "You lazy guy, I asked you to rob food. It's almost noon now, why are you still wandering around here?"
When Bo Luo heard this, he spread his hands with an innocent face: "Brother, what are you talking about? I have already returned from robbing the food."
"ah?"
The three of them all looked at Polo in surprise.
Polo explained helplessly: "I led my troops to ambush on the marching route of the grain escorts. As soon as they arrived, I rushed out. Then they didn't make any resistance, just put down their weapons and shouted "Long live the Emperor."
Therefore, I brought back the grain without spending a single soldier or firing an arrow. "
Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen laughed loudly: "It can be seen that the military spirit is with me, and it is just around the corner to return to Beijing and restore my position."
Everyone quickly congratulated in unison.
Ye first ordered: "Brothers, organize the army. Let's set off tomorrow and head towards Zijingguan. By taking Zijingguan and entering the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, we will have achieved more than half of the success."
All the generals obeyed their leader's orders and left.
Unfortunately, when he returned to the felt tent at night, Zhu Qi Zhenlong was very happy and in high spirits. He played with mandarin ducks in the bathtub and touched four stunning beauties one by one.
Early the next morning, Zhu Qizhen caught wind and cold. He felt sore and weak in his back and couldn't get out of bed for a while.
Fortunately, Xinjun thoughtfully sent a delegation from Huang Pu to bring imperial doctors and medicines.
Ye first and Boyan Timur watched the leading imperial doctor Ai Gaofeng diagnose Zhu Qizhen's pulse, and quickly asked: "It is so warm in this felt tent, why did your majesty get cold?"
Ai Gaofeng frowned and replied: "It's bitterly cold outside the Great Wall. Previously, the Emperor had to sleep in the open air. He suffered a lot and his body had already caught a cold.
It's just that the Supreme Emperor's dragon body has a good foundation, and it doesn't show up for a while. Now it is a felt tent and a chariot, and it is as warm as spring inside.
This comes and goes, the cold and the hot, and it is difficult for the body to adapt. In addition, His Majesty has been bathing frequently and receiving many blessings in the past few days, so it is inevitable that he will be a little overwhelmed. "
