Chapter 12 Section 4 Mutant Fate

Yuan Chonghuan also had no choice. He is now about to meet the eyes of scrutiny and even suspicion from the imperial court. He killed a general. He killed a general soldier who also held Shang Fang's sword. Without asking for instructions, he killed a general soldier who also held Shangfang's sword. Why did he want to kill? The enemy is currently killing each other, what does Yuan Chonghuan want to do? If Mao Wenlong's 100,000 soldiers rise up in disorder and attract Hou Jin to enter the pass, the entire Ming Dynasty will be in danger. The court was in turmoil. It was the commotion behind an inexplicable sense of dread.

Dozens of ministers issued decrees one after another, asking Yuan Chonghuan to be punished. Chongzhen locked the gates of the inner court tightly. He will never see anyone who has a minister seeking to see him. He has to think about a question: Is it wrong to use Yuan Chonghuan? Shangfang Sword PK Shangfang Sword. Chongzhen's Shangfang Sword PK Tianqi's Shangfang Sword. Yuan Chonghuan messed up the principles of ethics! In fact, in this world, the person he most wants to use is this: super capable and good character. However, after looking for and looking for misery, Chongzhen finally found out that he was a miserable emperor.

He couldn't find such a compound talent. In the 17th century, talent was the most expensive.The truth has been verified once again. As an emperor, he can only acquiesce in the fact that the imperial power has been severely trampled on. He found that he, like Yuan Chonghuan, had no choice in life. This discovery made him very sad. Moreover, what makes him even more sad is that he still can't express his feelings directly like those ministers. His suffering cannot be told to anyone. Yuan Chonghuan was used by him, and he couldn't slap his own mouth. This is about the dignity of the emperor.

What's more terrible is that Yuan Chonghuan should use him if he is right, and he should be used if he is wrong. Because cleaning up the mess in Liaodong is inseparable from Yuan Chonghuan. Mao Wenlong was killed by him, and he must do a good job in dealing with the aftermath. Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, Huang Taiji must be ready to move, to block Houjin's iron hoof, who else can do it except Yuan Chonghuan? The business woman doesn't know the hatred of subjugation.The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty kept shouting and killing, and the Manchu Dynasty was full of business women!

Amidst the shouts of killing, Chongzhen ordered Yuan Chonghuan to be rewarded, pointing out that he killed Mao Wenlong to eliminate harm for the country, and at the same time stated again that in Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan could do everything cheaply. It can be bent and stretched, this is the hidden ninjutsu of an emperor. But not all emperors can do it. Chongzhen did it.He pushed Daming's vitality a little further. However, no one knows how far and how long Daming's fortune can be pushed.Because it's a matter of destiny. Chongzhen is the Son of Heaven, can he find out this destiny?

The sky is silent, and the vicissitudes of history are brewing a sudden change at this time. This mutation will occur in a few months, and the result of this mutation will completely change the fate of a person and a dynasty. Chihan Huduntu is a very strange name. If a person can take a very strange name, it means that he is an extraordinary person.Jiahan Huduntu is an extraordinary person. He is the highest military officer in Monan Mongolia, and his main job at ordinary times is to lead his brothers to rob houses and live a new and prosperous life together. The team of inserting Han Huduntu is getting bigger and bigger, and in the end it has the ability to attack the city and seize the territory.

It doesn't matter what a person does, the important thing is to make it bigger. From this, the value of inserting Han Huduntu is reflected. Because he is in a great position - he can threaten Beijing from Shanhaiguan to Juyongguan at any time. Of course, compared to the Ming Dynasty, this threat is not fatal because of insufficient capabilities. But if you add the power of Huang Taiji... That was an unbearable weight for Daming. Yuan Chonghuan saw the loopholes in this empire. Patches need to be applied sooner or later, and it is better to apply early than later. Of course, he couldn't be the one who did the patching. The mess in Liaodong was enough for him to do.He recommended Wang Xianggan, the elder of the three dynasties, to take charge of Monan Mongolia.

Chongzhen agreed. Wang Xiangqian took office and tried his best to appease Monan Mongolia.However, the recruitment work has been slow and has fallen into a tug of war. Because Huang Taiji also saw the loopholes in the Ming Empire. An appeasement campaign targeting Monan Mongolia was carried out simultaneously on the north and south fronts. Da Ming and Hou Jin are fighting for the day and night, you are fighting to the death, all you play is the heartbeat. Almost at the most critical moment, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong. The morale of the 100,000 soldiers in Phi Island immediately became unstable, and some subtle situations appeared in the Ming Liaodong defense line.Huang Taiji promptly informed Cha Han Huduntu of this information.

Cha Han Hu Duntu understands that he can make a choice. Because of the Phi Island Incident, the military offensive and defensive balance between Ming and Hou Jin was broken. Later Jin can attack. And Chihan Huduntu and his Monan Mongolia will always be on the side of the attackers. Jia Han Huduntu captured Harashen, Baihuangtaiji and other places, directly endangering Xuanfu and Datong.Afterwards, Huang Taiji led an army of 100,000 troops, borrowing Harashen, and quickly broke through the Great Wall border pass west of Xifeng Pass, and approached Zunhua City, an important military town to the south of the Great Wall.

Zunhua is only two or three hundred miles away from Beijing, and the Houjin cavalry can rush into Beijing in a short time. This was the first day of November in the second year of Chongzhen. In view of the severe situation, Chongzhen urgently declared martial law in the capital. Yuan Chonghuan broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that Huang Taiji would avoid reality and ignore reality. But he didn't expect Huang Taiji to avoid reality so quickly. Here, Yuan Chonghuan "contributed a lot". He could almost imagine what complicated eyes Chongzhen would cast on him. No matter so much, it is important to ensure compliance first.

Keeping Zunhua also keeps Beijing.If Zunhua falls, Beijing will be in jeopardy.Yuan Chonghuan ordered the commander-in-chief Zhao to lead the teaching fire speed department to rescue.On the fourth day of November, the news came that Zhao led the entire army to be annihilated, and he himself died for the country.On the fifth day of November, Huang Taiji's troops set fire to Zunhua, the Ming garrison collapsed, governor Wang Yuanya committed suicide, and Zunhua fell. Almost on the same day, Yuan Chonghuan understood: it is impossible for him to stay in Ningyuan any longer, and he must lead his troops to retreat to Beijing. This is a tragic retreat.Yuan Chonghuan has made many dizzy tricks this time, and under the weird arrangements of various chances and coincidences, the god of fate dragged him all the way on Huangquan Road, and he could only see each move out of breath, defending and retreating until he kicked Stepping into the air, falling into a situation beyond redemption-there is nowhere to say desolation. In the surrounding areas of Beijing, Yuan Chonghuan deployed his troops. Jizhou, Shunyi, Sanhe, Changping, Tongzhou, five defenses. It looks very handsome, and it looks beautiful. Chongzhen was very satisfied and felt that Yuan Chonghuan had done the right thing this time. But there is one person who is dissatisfied. He is Sun Chengzong, the new Minister of the Ministry of War and a scholar of the Zhongji Temple.He was ordered to be stationed in Tongzhou. Sun Chengzong is a senior military theorist, doer, and proven loyal defender of the Ming Dynasty. He saw that Yuan Chonghuan's formation seemed conservative, but it was actually a slant. On the periphery of the capital, Yuan Chonghuan's line of defense was too narrow.It is still reasonable to defend Jizhou, Shunyi, and Sanhe, but it is a joke to retreat to Changping and Tongzhou. Changping and Tongzhou are basically the roots of the imperial city. If the battle reaches these two places, once the Ming army loses, there is no way to retreat. Now that Zunhua has just fallen, and the situation is not at all critical, why did Yuan Chonghuan make such a plan? Is it a person with a high degree of art and boldness?Or is it a placebo for Chongzhen to look beautiful? Sun Chengzong couldn't figure it out. But as a proven and loyal defender of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong felt the need to point out the loopholes in Yuan Chonghuan's defense. Really, now we should concentrate our superior forces to defend Sanhe.Because Sanhe is located between Jizhou and Tongzhou, defending Sanhe can prevent Huang Taiji's troops from invading Tongzhou and approaching the capital, and can also prevent them from going south to Xianghe and Wuqing to outflank the southern flank of the capital. Sun Chengzong was impassioned, earnest, eloquent, and tearful, but Chongzhen remained silent. Believe in Sun Chengzong?Still believe in Yuan Chonghuan?this is a problem. Chongzhen was very distressed. He found that his life is always an either-or choice, and behind each choice there are always several link choices. Sun Chengzong is the new minister of the Ministry of War, in charge of the defense of the capital, and his opinions must be listened to. However, Yuan Chonghuan brought troops back from Liaodong to King Qin, and he rejected his formation as soon as he came up. Will it cause the army's morale to be unstable? Sun Chengzong knelt down and almost confessed his will.He was really worried about Daming. Chongzhen suddenly felt that what Sun Chengzong said was right.If Sanhe can't keep it, Tongzhou doesn't have to.This is the relationship between the beginning and the end. Chongzhen said to Sun Chengzong very simply: You go to guard Sanhe, go back and prepare, and set off early tomorrow morning. Sun Chengzong cried, he really cried. Chongzhen is a holy king.Daming is hopeful. He went home grateful and ready to go. At this time, Yuan Chonghuan didn't know what happened here, and he would never know. Because Chongzhen did not tell him that there had been such a dispute. This is a pointless debate.Early the next morning, Chongzhen said to Sun Chengzong very simply: You should go and guard Tongzhou.No one guards Tongzhou, how can you tell me to work with peace of mind? Sun Chengzong wanted to fight again, but he came into contact with Chongzhen's eyes. These are a pair of bloodshot eyes.Fear, tension, doubt, self-confidence, confusion, mixed flavors. This is Chongzhen.This is the man at the helm of this empire. Sun Chengzong sighed and rushed to Tongzhou. Huang Taiji's troops marched westward after crossing Jizhou.Yuan Chonghuan accidentally did not block the frontal attack, but led his troops to follow him like a shadow. This is deadly stalking.Not to Huang Taiji's life, but to Yuan Chonghuan's own life. Soon after, Yuan Chonghuan's follow-up formed two versions in the capital.One is the version of Huang Taiji, and the other is the version of folk oral literature. These two versions are greatly detrimental to Yuan Chonghuan, but Yuan Chonghuan himself doesn't know it. Huang Taiji's troops continued to break through like a bamboo, breaking through Yutian, Sanhe, Xianghe, Shunyi and other places on the east line of defense of the capital. On November 15th, Yuan Chonghuan was in a hurry. He rushed to Hexiwu and made a bold decision: to pass the enemy soldiers and directly lead the troops into the capital for defense. This is really a bold decision, because he did not inform Chongzhen. Yuan Chonghuan didn't tell Chongzhen that he was going to do this, let alone why he wanted to do it. Yuan Chonghuan wanted to do this, and Zhou Wenyu, the deputy commander, was also in a hurry. I've seen soldiers lead in battle, but I've never seen one lead soldiers in battle like this. The current situation is that it is necessary to block the enemy from the front and keep the enemy outside the capital.Huang Taiji has already reached Tongzhou. Now we are stationed in Zhangjiawan, fifteen miles away from Tongzhou. We must defend Zhangjiawan. Besides, the food and salaries are all here in Hexiwu. The supply is very convenient, which can ensure a protracted war.The longer this war drags on, the better it will be for us. Yuan Chonghuan didn't see it that way, and his estimate of the situation was much more pessimistic.On the surface, it seemed that the two main forces would fight here, but his intuition told him that Huang Taiji would break into the Forbidden City in an unexpected direction.Your father is in a hurry, your father is in a hurry.Yuan Chonghuan believed that he must directly lead troops into the capital for defense. But, have you thought about it?Soldiers from other towns must not easily enter the capital city without the emperor's clear order, otherwise, it would be treason.Zhou Wenyu looked at Yuan Chonghuan with a sincere expression. Yuan Chonghuan stopped Zhou Wenyu's dissuasion with a yell - the gentleman's father is in a hurry, and his grandma can't care so much! On the evening of November 17th, Yuan Chonghuan's troops had already arrived outside Guangqumen. This is an unsolicited force.They could not enter the city, because the capital was under martial law at that time, and the news could not be sent in at all. It was not until midnight that the court knew that Yuan Chonghuan and his troops were outside the city gate. Followed by Huang Taiji's troops. What's the meaning?Bring the enemy's army to fight outside my Forbidden City.For a time, Chongzhen's desk was filled with memorials to impeach Yuan Chonghuan for collaborating with the enemy. Chongzhen said nothing. In fact, as early as two days ago, when Yuan Chonghuan set off with a large army, he knew that this person was coming. Yuan Chonghuan explained his actions at the time-he wrote a letter and sent someone to report to Chongzhen quickly, telling Chongzhen that he was coming. Although Yuan Chonghuan is a person who likes to make up his own ideas—for example, he killed Mao Wenlong on his own initiative, but there is no doubt that his idea this time is a bit bigger. This was beyond Chongzhen's psychological capacity. Chongzhen is a fragile king, a sensitive king, a suspicious king, and a king with strong self-esteem. You, Yuan Chonghuan, made the decision to kill Mao Wenlong for me, and I have already given you enough face—don’t pursue it. But you can't make the same mistake again. And the consequences of this mistake may be extremely serious: What is your intention, Yuan Chonghuan, to lead the war outside the Forbidden City. Yuan Chonghuan is definitely playing with fire if he wants to start fighting in the capital without fighting on the outer battlefield. Chongzhen closed his eyes in pain, and Sun Chengzong's sighing face floated in front of his eyes. Life is all about choices. Life is fucking choices. But ancestors, can any of you tell me what is the right choice? ! Chongzhen suffered from insomnia again. Sure enough, the war followed Yuan Chonghuan. On November 20th, during the bloody battle at Deshengmen, due to the large number of troops participating in the battle, strange incidents of accidentally injuring friendly troops occurred.Datong General Soldier Mangui's Department was accidentally injured by artillery fire from the guards on the city, and took refuge in the Deshengmen Urn City.Deshengmen is in danger. On the same day, during the bloody battle at Guangqumen, Yuan Chonghuan led his general Zu Dashou to fight desperately against Huang Taiji's troops, causing them to flee into Nanhaizi with their tails between their legs.Great victory at Guangqumen. Heroes are judged by victory or defeat, and victory or defeat can also be seen in people's hearts.Chongzhen seemed to see the blue sky through the mist overnight, and he saw Yuan Chonghuan's loyalty.This is a person who dies and is reborn, and any miracle will happen to him.It was he who defeated Nurhachi, and now he has defeated Huang Taiji.Yuan Chonghuan's loyalty can be learned from.The Ming Dynasty cannot do without Yuan Chonghuan; the war cannot do without Yuan Chonghuan.Chongzhen decided to forgive—no, he wanted to reward Yuan Chonghuan.He wants to withstand the pressure and prejudice of the world and be a king with unique insight.
