Bei Du, Forbidden City!
Emperor Chongzhen was an extremely diligent emperor, and with the imminent siege of Songjin, Emperor Chongzhen could not relax at all!
It was already getting dark.
Emperor Chongzhen was still gathering his cabinet to discuss how to mobilize troops to rescue Songjin.
It was an urgent 800-mile journey!
"What? Say that again? Songshan was broken? Overseer Hong fought hard and didn't surrender, and he died?”
In the throne room, Emperor Chongzhen was so shocked by this 800-mile report that he was struck by lightning and the world spun!
Songshan City was broken!
Overseer Hong died in the battle!
The sky was about to collapse!
Big Ming's last backer had fallen!
Emperor Chongzhen had always regarded Hong Chengchou as a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Hong Chengchou's ability to fight and fight was deeply recognized and valued by Emperor Chongzhen.
As a result, Emperor Chongzhen only had Hong Chengchou in his eyes. Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were nothing in front of Hong Chengchou.
It could be said!
After Yuan Chonghuan, Hong Chengchou was the most highly regarded person by Emperor Chongzhen, and he held great hopes for him!
Therefore!
When Emperor Chongzhen heard that Mount Song had fallen, his first thought was that Overseer Hong had fought to his death!
He had never thought that the important minister he had his eyes on would surrender to Slave Jian.
"Long live, Songshan City will fall, and Jinzhou City will fall soon. Please quickly issue an order to defend Shanhai Pass!”
When Chen Xinjia, the chief assistant of the cabinet, heard the bad news, he also felt that the sky was falling!
Songshan was broken, Governor Hong died in battle, and his position as the chief assistant of the cabinet came to an end.
However!
Even so, Chen Xinjia still stepped forward and shouted.
Once the Pine Brocade was broken, Great Ming would completely lose control of the Liaoxi Corridor, and Shanhai Pass would be Great Ming's last barrier.
If Jian Nu took advantage of the situation to attack Shanhaiguan and break through the pass, the capital would be in danger, and the Ming Dynasty would be in danger.
"This, this, this…Minister Chen, Minister Chen, how can you teach me how to resolve the danger of the Mountains and Seas?!”
Emperor Chongzhen was also completely stunned!
He also knew what it meant for Da Ming if Song Jin was broken.
Now, the last barrier that Great Ming had against Slave Jian was Shanhai Pass!
If Jian Nu took advantage of the situation to break through the pass, it would be a flat land after entering the pass. There would be no danger to defend and no soldiers to block. The capital would be in danger, and the Ming Dynasty would be in danger!
He immediately asked Chen Xinjia.
"Long live! The most important thing now was to send 7,000 soldiers to defend Shanhaiguan. At the same time, he had to reward the Shanhaiguan commander, Wu Sangui, and get him to gather the remaining Songjin soldiers to defend Shanhaiguan!”
"In addition, immediately transfer the troops from Tongguan to reinforce Shanhai Pass!”
"Finally, I suggest that we move the capital!”
It was fine to say that Chen Xinjia was greedy, but in terms of ability, he was still much stronger than Zhou Yanru and Wei Zaode!
Just now!
Emperor Chongzhen was still discussing the responsibility for the defeat of Songshan. He even wanted to put Wang Pu, the commander of Datong, who had fled first, in prison, and Wu Sangui, the commander of Shanhaiguan, to be punished.
But…
Now, in the blink of an eye, he wanted to appease and reward Wu Sangui so that Wu Sangui could gather the remaining soldiers to defend Shanhaiguan!
Otherwise, Da Ming would really be destroyed by Slave Jian!
Finally!
Chen Xinjia once again proposed to move the capital!
In the battle of Song Jin, all of the forces in the north of Great Ming were basically drawn out. Now that Song Jin had suffered a crushing defeat, the capital had no soldiers to defend it.
It was indeed time to move the capital!
"Good, good, good! Minister Chen, you are right. Quickly reward and order Wu Sangui to defend Shanhaiguan. At the same time, quickly mobilize the Tongguan garrison to reinforce Shanhaiguan!”
Emperor Chongzhen had no other choice. Otherwise, he would never have transferred the troops guarding Tongguan to reinforce Shanhaiguan.
Now!
He could only rob Peter to pay Paul, hoping that the raiders outside Tongguan would stop.
"As for moving the capital? The Son of Heaven guards the gates of the country, and the King dies for the country. The teachings of the ancestors must not be forgotten. I am not the first King to escape in the Ming Dynasty!”
"Therefore, Minister Chen, don't mention the matter of moving the capital again. Otherwise, I will definitely punish you!”
"This old minister is afraid, this old minister has misspoken, this old minister swears to advance and retreat together with you!”Chen Xinjia knelt down in fear and shouted.
"There's more! At noon the day after tomorrow, I will open the altar and pay homage to Overseer Hong on nine altars to tell the spirit of Overseer Hong and to show Overseer Hong's loyalty!!”
Emperor Chongzhen was still very sad about losing Hong Chengchou. He wanted to open the Temple of Heaven to pay homage to Hong Chengchou.
" Nine jars?... This old minister obeys the decree!"
Chen Xinjia was shocked when he heard this. Opening nine altars for Hong Chengchou?
Such favor…
Alright then!
She was already dead, so why fight for favor with a dead person!？
He immediately knelt down and accepted the order, and even asked the Ministry of Rites to quickly start the great sacrifice the day after tomorrow.
……
On this side, Hong Chengchou was mentioned!
When Songshan City was broken last night, Hong Chengchou knew that he had lost the battle and committed suicide to repay Wansui's kindness.
What a pity!
Perhaps Hong Chengchou was not fated to die, or perhaps the sword in his hand was not sharp enough!
However, Slave Jian had captured him alive when he couldn't even cut his throat.
It could be said that Hong Chengchou, who had already died once, was even more afraid of death.
When he was captured by Dorgon and persuaded to surrender, Hong Chengchou had already loosened up!
Unfortunately, before Hong Chengchou could agree, Duo Ergun was impatient. He was busy eliminating the remaining enemies and attacking Jinzhou. He simply asked Duo Ze to escort Hong Chengchou to Shengjing and leave the matter of persuading him to surrender to his brother, Huang Taiji.
Just like that!
Duoze led 500 iron cavalry and escorted Hong Chengchou. They chased after Huang Taiji early in the morning and presented the prisoners to Shengjing.
They had already crossed the Daling River!
At this moment, Hong Chengchou had already become a prisoner. Looking at the Daling River, he was extremely melancholic.
He did not expect that he would actually use this method to enter the hinterland of Liaodong!
And at this moment!
Duoze had also received the urgent report from Yabilong's personal guard, and he was instantly terrified!
He didn't even dare to say a word to Hong Chengchou, leading the 500 iron cavalry and swiftly galloping towards the Liao River.
