Chapter 146 Capture Yu Wan
With the sudden participation of the Yu family army in the war, the situation suddenly changed drastically.
The peasant army had been fighting for a long time, and it was like a lasting force. It could not stop the attack of the Qing Guard Army. In the blink of an eye, it was defeated and surrendered to the Ming army.
In the blink of an eye, the balance of victory and defeat changed and tilted. After a brief shock, Li Zicheng quickly reacted. He drew his sword with an angry look on his face and shouted:
"Catch Chongzhen quickly!"
The power is a horse and tiger. Only by controlling Chongzhen can there be a glimmer of life. However, Feng Dai's reaction was faster than him. He took advantage of the chaos of the peasant army and had no time to take care of it. He led the remaining guards to kill the enemy soldiers and escorted Chongzhen and others to sneak into the imperial city.
Looking at the thick and tightly closed Chengtian Gate, Li Zicheng frowned into Bazi Ridge, and a depressed smile appeared on his face, as if he had suddenly become ten years older.
"It depends on the success of people and plans in heaven, and this is why God wants to destroy me!"
After saying that, he picked up a long knife and wiped it on his neck. He was about to exert force, but Niu Jinxing, who was beside him, held the blade tightly!
Although Niu Jinxing is a weak scholar, he is as powerful as a cow at this moment. He bit his teeth and his eyes wide open, regardless of the bloody hands exposed on the bones.
"All the generals will protect the emperor and retreat!"
The Shun Army had long been unwilling to fight and everyone wanted to retreat. As soon as this command was issued, thousands of defeated generals surrounded the King of Chuang and ran wildly, and in a cup of tea disappeared in front of the Imperial City Street.
...
The fierce battle to defend Han and Beijing came to an end. After this battle, the Ming army not only lost 60,000 to 70,000 people, but the new capital that had just begun to take shape was once again turned into ruins. It would be difficult to recover its vitality in less than three to five years.
But these are not a problem for Zhu Youjian. As long as he can save his life, all losses are not considered losses.
After the strong enemy retreated, Chongzhen changed his decay and regained his heroic spirit. He held the crown and stroked the dragon robe, and swept the civil and military officials with broken clothes with a torch.
"This time I can survive the sadness, all depends on the generals fighting to the end. Feng Daike, the commander of the Imperial Army, was loyal and loyal. If it weren't for him, I would have been buried in the tiger's mouth and had a life and death unpredictable. Feng Aiqing stepped forward and listened to the title. Now you are specially named Marquis of Zhongwu, and you will be promoted to the third rank."
"I thank God for your kindness!"
Feng Dai calmly wiped away the blood stains on his face. Even though he was promoted to a marquis, he was still humble, polite, low-key and steady.
Zhu Youjian nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to Li Chengdong beside Guo Shixun.
"Li Aiqing fought with the thieves for several days and made extraordinary achievements in annihilation of tens of thousands of enemies. I specially promoted you to the Governor of Huguang and General Wu Lie, and was awarded the title of Xitingbo, and took charge of the military and political power of Huguang!"
"Long live long eun!"
When Li Chengdong heard the four words "Governor of Huguang", his eyes almost fell out. This was a rank of officials with great power and the most important capital. This was a fatal flaw that many princes and ministers had always dreamed of not getting, but it actually fell on his head. This made Li Chengdong not ecstatic.
After Chongzhen appointed and removed more than a dozen officials, he nodded to the personal eunuch Shen Yousong. The latter quickly understood what he meant, immediately cleared his throat and shouted loudly:
"The governor of Xuan'anhui, General Dingyuan, and Marquis of Zhenming Yu went to the palace to meet him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the civil and military officials below quickly made way for aisle in two rows. After a moment, a heroic young man wearing a red battle robe and a blue and white armor came over. Although he was young, he had an extraordinary aura. Even though he stood in the magnificent Golden Palace, he was still radiant and calm.
"I am a gentle minister, Yu Wan, come to see my emperor!"
All officials suffered a lot in this battle. Not only did their family fortune be plundered and their wives were separated, but they also offended the narrow-minded and stubborn Emperor Chongzhen.
Also depressed was Li Zicheng. He was sure to win, but he almost captured Zhu Youjian alive and seized half of the southwest. In the end, he failed and became a mirror. If he had not been for his confidant's desperate attempt to break through the siege, he would have to confess himself to the Ming army.
The battle between Han and Beijing was a loser and there was no winner, but there was one exception, that was Yu Wan, the Zhenming Hou who had made contributions in saving the emperor at a critical moment!
Although this guy is young, he is extremely sinister and treacherous. Not only does he avoid the enemy and allow the peasant army to siege the capital, he also sits in the mountains and watches the tiger fight. He runs out and reaps profits until both sides are exhausted. He takes all the benefits and lets him do good people!
In the Ganyang Palace Hall, Yu Wan was secretly cursed by countless officials. If everyone hadn't had their hands long enough, he would have been pierced into several pieces.
Some people hate it, some people appreciate it, and Zhu Youjian just sees Yu Wan's favor. This kid is really his own blessing. He has repeatedly saved his throne. Although the plan to set Hanjing as bait is extremely ruthless, he finally has a false alarm. Not only does it severely damage Li Chuang's power, but it also creates opportunities for him to rectify the powerful ministers and regain power.
Moreover, after this battle, Yu Wan's strength will inevitably rise significantly, which also means that his direct military strength will grow even more. You should know that Yu Wan is his most trusted confidant general.
"Your dear, please calm down."
Chongzhen walked to Yu Wan with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "This is the third time you have saved you. How can I reward you for such an incredible achievement?"
As soon as Zhu Youjian finished speaking, Zuo Menggeng immediately agreed to the memorial, "General Yu made many extraordinary achievements to save the court. His reputation is unparalleled in all the generals of the court. Now the position of Minister of War is still vacant. I beg long live to give him a title to Zhenming Hou as a commendation."
The biggest loss in this battle was the Zuo Liangyu family, which not only offended the emperor, but also offended the ministers. For the sake of the present, only by winning over Yu Wan could he retain Zuo Liangyu's position as Shangshu.
Zuo Menggeng's little thoughts are naturally known to everyone. As soon as he finished speaking, he attracted countless contemptuous eyes. Guo Shixun even stood up and retorted:
"Weichen believes that Yu Wan should not only not be rewarded, but instead he will be transferred to Tianzhu and dismissed and investigated!"
boom!
Everyone looked at him in amazement. Guo Shangshu said in a surprisingly bold manner that he dared to sing a counter-topic with the emperor in public, which made Zhu Youjian feel shocked and angry and unable to come to Taiwan.
Guo Shixun continued, "Yu Wan was afraid of the enemy and refused to fight, so he handed over Jiang Xia to the enemy, causing Li Zicheng's army to directly attack the capital, and even more, the emperor almost died. This son's inappropriate minds and rebelled against him. I beg long to kill one to warn him as a warning to others!"
"Mr. Guo is right. Yu Wanmu is bold and arrogant and domineering. He must be dismissed from his post and investigated to clarify military discipline!"
"This guy relied on his own merits to do something recklessly and did not take the court seriously at all. He heard that the governor of Huguang, Lord Tan, was forced to be desperate by him. If he let him continue like this, I am afraid that even we will be poisoned!"
"I unanimously requested that Yu Wan be remanded and arrested him immediately and let Dali Temple join hands with the Ministry of Justice to file a case!"
