"Director Gao has now led 50,000 troops under his command, rushing from Jize overnight to rescue."
Yu Zhenlong's last words shocked everyone who was stunned.
Lu Xiangsheng and others were like people in a desperate situation. They were ready to die, but suddenly they found that there seemed to be hope of life. You can imagine how they felt at this moment!
Of course, there are nuances.
Others heard the news of the arrival of reinforcements and felt that there was hope for survival. Lu Xiangsheng, however, heard that the emperor had understood that it was impossible to evade foreign affairs without first settling down the country, and he persuaded Yang Sichang to take charge of the battle with all his strength. This news gave him real hope of life.
No matter what, at this moment, their moods are the same.
Excitement, excitement, joy, joy, ecstasy, etc...
Lu Xiangsheng was so excited that he stepped forward and grabbed Yu Zhenlong's shoulders, and affirmed with great excitement: "There is no wiser person than the emperor! The emperor is wise..."
Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu clenched their fists and said overjoyed: "It's good now, it's good now..." After hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words, they both changed their words in unison and agreed repeatedly: " Yes, yes, the emperor is wise, the emperor is wise..."
At this moment, both of them seemed to have forgotten that just before, both of them were blaming the emperor to varying degrees, complaining about the emperor, and even calling the emperor a fool!
Many of the other soldiers were even hugging each other and crying. The emperor still cared about them and sent someone to rescue them.
The Ming army officers who had not heard clearly in the distance saw the reaction of their comrades in front and quickly asked what was said. They looked anxious, as if they were rushing to pick up tens of thousands of taels of silver.
After a while, all the Ming army officers and soldiers almost behaved in the same way. I cried with joy, silently shedding tears of joy, and my heart was filled with hope and respect for the emperor again!
If you can live, who wants to die?
The emperor is still wise after all. Then there will be hope in the future. Even if he will die in battle, he will be willing to do so!
The belief in being loyal to the emperor and serving the country was re-established in this tired army!
However, at this moment, it was not the time to feel excited. The Tatar army in the distance was already approaching step by step. Lu Xiangsheng was the first to come to his senses, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and quickly asked Yu Zhenlong about the specific details of the reinforcements, and then quickly adjusted his deployment and prepared to break out!
The value of Yu Zhenlong risking his life to sneak into the encirclement was to let Lu Xiangsheng know the situation outside and take corresponding measures. Otherwise, with only about 3,000 troops, it would be almost impossible to break through surrounded by the superior Qing forces.
There is only one best chance for this breakout. When the sky is just getting brighter, the cavalry can increase their horse speed if they can see the road, and fight quickly before the Tatars can react.
You will naturally know this truth after you have led troops for a long time. Yang Guozhu said excitedly: "If our cavalry breaks out to the south, we will be closer to the reinforcements, and we will be more confident in breaking through the encirclement."
Lu Xiangsheng listened, but was noncommittal. He turned to look at the soldiers who had high morale because of the good news, and suddenly turned around and asked: "Where are the Eight Mongolian Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty deployed? And where are the Mongolian tribes?"
Naturally, it is impossible for the Manchu troops to enter the customs to be all Manchus. Instead, it consisted of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Mongolian tribes affiliated with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and a small number of Han troops. Of course, most of the Yu Ding used as auxiliary soldiers were Han Chinese who became the coat.
Among the combat armies, the weakest in combat effectiveness were the Mongolian tribes affiliated with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, followed by the Eight Banners of Mongolia. At this time, most of the Han troops were outside the pass. They were the firearms (artillery) troops in the hands of the Manchus, named Wuzhen Chaoha, and there was also the Tianyou Army commanded by the notorious King Sanshun.
Everyone knows why Lu Xiangsheng asked this question, but no one can answer this question. There is only a bit of sporadic information.
Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng glanced at his men again, recalled the known information, and made a decision. No matter what, we must bring as many soldiers out of the encirclement as possible. As for whether his choice is right or wrong, we will know at dawn.
He gave the order and began to take action.
And the sky finally slowly brightened, and the long night finally passed.
The capital, the Forbidden City, and Emperor Chongzhen have also risen. The first thing that comes to mind is how is Lu Xiangsheng doing? However, there was still no news, which made him a little disappointed.
After sitting on the throne, Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen, the eunuch on duty who was waiting beside him, "Governor Hong, where is Governor Sun?"
As soon as Wang Chengen heard this, he knew that the emperor was asking about Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, so he quickly bowed and echoed: "Governor Hong has just arrived in Jin, and Governor Sun has not arrived in Jin yet."
After the invasion of the Manchu and Qing Tatars, the original Emperor Chongzhen had already ordered Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to lead the troops to serve the king. However, both of them were chasing the bandits, so they couldn't set out immediately after the decree came. Later, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to negotiate peace, so he did not rush it.
After hearing the answer, Emperor Chongzhen frowned again and said: "Send someone to urge them and tell them to lead elite troops to serve the king."
Wang Chengen understood. This was to ask Hong Sun's generals to lead King Ding Qin. He quickly agreed and went to work on it.
In the original memory of Emperor Chongzhen, there were still people who could fight. For example, Huang Degong, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, was transferred to the south to pursue the bandits under Xiong Wencan, and he was not in the north either.
With the current situation in the north, it would be best for Lu Xiangsheng to be fine. With him leading the army, he should not let the Manchu and Qing armies wreak havoc too much.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen lowered his head and looked at the piles of memorials sent by the Supervisor of Ceremonies early. The former Emperor Chongzhen always read each book by himself.
So many memorials reminded him of homework in later generations. Isn’t it confusing to do so much homework all day long?
After making such a complaint, Chongzhen waved and said to the four young chamberlains waiting beside him: "Come here, four of you!"
When Lan Tianbao and others heard this, they were a little surprised and hurried over to listen to the order.
Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the memorials and said: "You should divide these memorials equally, and use paper tickets to figure out how to deal with them."
Memorials are generally drafted by the cabinet ministers, who give opinions on how to deal with the memorial, and then send it to the Secretary of Ceremony to review and approve the drafted suggestions. They write "yes" or negative opinions, and then the emperor reads them with his seal or seal. The ceremonial supervisor holds the seal used by eunuchs.
Now, the emperor actually asked four young eunuchs who had just left the inner study hall to vote. They were immediately shocked. No one dared to take action. Among them, Lan Tianbao, the leader, said calmly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, We...we just..."
