The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 87 Prepare for the decisive battle
After Zhu Cihong was woken up by the imperial physician, the first thing he did was to immediately send someone to recruit Hong Niang to come to Beijing to face the saint.

An hour later.

The red lady hurried to the bedroom, and when she saw Zhu Cihong sitting on the couch, she was also shocked.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

It's only been a few days since I saw him, and the little emperor is even more emaciated than last time, and his heart aches for a while.

"My concubine, don't worry, I'm fine, just rest for a while and I'll be fine."

"You all leave!"

Zhu Cihong waved his hand, his tone seemed weak.

"It's Your Majesty!"

The serving ladies and female guards retreated one after another.

"Aifei, sit down."

Zhu Cihong patted the seat beside her, and the red lady sat down on the side of the couch without being pretentious.

"My concubine, Dorgon has already pulled out his camp, and he must be going to conquer Tongzhou. I want to know, if the two armies fight in Tongzhou, what are your chances of winning?"

After speaking, he stared at her with burning eyes.

If Hong Niangzi is not sure, then he can only abandon all the non-combatants in the city, and then let the Tongzhou army hold out, and wait until the Tartars lose their troops and then attack.

But if Hong Niangzi is sure to repel the opponent, or if she can fight for both sides, then make a quick decision and fight immediately.

One thing he really didn't want to procrastinate, and he didn't have the capital to procrastinate.

The second is that Dorgon and the Tartars will give up their hearts if they don't fight a fight. I'm afraid they won't leave. Maybe they will kill the horse in the end.

The red lady also knew that they didn't have much food and grass, there was only five days' food left in Tongzhou, and the capital couldn't squeeze out much, otherwise the little emperor wouldn't have been tortured to death like this.

So he took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, let's fight immediately. The victory or defeat should be between three and seven. Our army is three and the Tartars are seven. But our army is backed by the camp and has high morale. Fighting him will hurt both sides, and retreat to the camp!"

"Okay! With the words of Aifei, I feel relieved!"

Zhu Cihong straightened up abruptly, and said excitedly.

Then he said: "It's not too late, my concubine will go back immediately and mobilize the army. Once the tartars arrive, they will fight to the death. Tell the soldiers that if the tartars are defeated, each person will be rewarded with ten acres of land!"

"Sir, take the lead!"

The red lady also got up quickly, and knelt down on one knee to worship, her face was full of determination and perseverance.

"My concubine, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, but you must be careful and protect yourself. I still need my concubine to help me calm down the world and open up the land!"

Zhu Cihong pulled her up, grabbed her hand and exhorted.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty must also take care of the dragon body!"

The red lady also said with a concerned face, seeing him like this, she was really worried and uncomfortable.

"Well, I'm just overworked these days, it's fine."

Zhu Cihong waved his hand.

"Then His Majesty would like to rest, and I will leave!"

The red lady didn't say any more, she bowed again, then turned and left.

After the red lady left, Zhu Cihong summoned the two Dukes, Zhou Yuji, Tang Tong, Wu Xiang and Li Ruolian, to the bedroom.

"My dear friends, the army of Jiannu has already killed Tongzhou, and I have ordered the noble concubine to lead the army to fight. Although the people in the capital will not participate in the battle, they must show how many enemy troops they can contain."

"It is enough to keep [-] soldiers and horses and [-] Imperial Forest Army in the city. The British Duke will stay in the city to preside over the overall situation. Wu Xiang and Li Ruolian will follow!"

"Yes!"

The three of them hurriedly knelt down and replied that the secret path was finally going to be a decisive battle, and if there was no decisive battle, they could bear it, and the female family members couldn't bear it any longer.

"Zhou Yuji!"

"The minister is here!" Zhou Yuji also hurriedly knelt down.

"Let me command the army, move the camp to the north for [-] miles, play by ear, Ding Guogong, Tang Tong will follow!"

"Yes!"

The three quickly replied.

Tang Tong was fine, but Ding Guogong was a little disappointed, but no matter how lost he was, he didn't dare to show it on his face.

After Zhu Cihong gave some more instructions, the six left in a hurry.

Outside the bedroom, seeing that Zhu Cihong was finally done, Empress Zhou and Zhang Yan also heaved a sigh of relief, and hurried to the bedside with the maid carrying the medicine bowl.

"Lang'er, drink up the medicine quickly, lie down and rest after drinking."

"Queen, I'm not sick. What kind of medicine are you drinking? Take it away..."

Looking at the bowl of black medicine, Zhu Cihong waved his hands in fright.

"Lang'er, your mind has been exhausted for a while, and you haven't rested well. This is the medicine for calming the nerves and invigorating Qi prescribed by Imperial Physician Hu. Drink it while it's hot..."

Empress Zhou didn't take it seriously, she picked up the medicine bowl from the tray next to it, mixed it with a spoon, blew on it, and handed it to him.

"Queen, I'm really not sick. I'll be fine after a while of rest. How can I take medicine at every turn?"

Zhu Cihong pushed the medicine bowl and shook his head like a wave drum.

"Lang'er, your mother and I made this medicine personally. We haven't left for a moment, and we have tried it with someone else. You can drink it with confidence!"

Seeing that he was so nervous, Zhang Yan explained with a wry smile, obviously knowing what he was worried about.

"You can't drink that, Auntie, you don't know the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine, and it's hard to guard against those low-minded people.

Maybe you will be fine if you drink it, maybe it will be fine if I drink it, and it will be fine if I drink it today, maybe it will be fine in three to five months, so I will never drink this medicine. "

Zhu Cihong simply didn't hide it anymore, just shook his head and said.

Even if he is killed, he will not take the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician in the palace. From now on, even if he is sick and needs to take medicine, he will only go out of the palace quietly to find a doctor to see a doctor.

Seeing him suspicious and cautious to such an extent, the two women felt helpless.

Zhang Yan had no choice but to say again: "Longer, Doctor Hu has been favored by the emperor and has been a medical officer for decades, so you can drink it at ease. Besides, my aunt also knows some pharmacology. I have read the prescriptions, and they are indeed all good. It is a medicine to soothe the nerves and nourish the body."

"Auntie, don't talk anymore, the baby is going to rest, and you are exhausted after a while, go and rest!"

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he lay down directly. Now that his body is weak, he must be more careful in everything, and must not give those people with ulterior motives any chance.

Seeing that he didn't drink oil and salt, the two women were angry and anxious. They looked at each other, and Zhang Yan also sat on the edge, and drove the others out with a wave of her hands.

At the same time, after the British princes left the palace, the army in the city began to mobilize.

Zhou Yuji led [-] subordinates and [-] Imperial Forest Army out of the city to join the [-] army outside the city. Early the next morning, the [-] army marched to the north in a mighty manner.

And the Jiannu army also marched towards Tongzhou in a mighty manner. Wherever it passed, people, horses and vehicles covered the sky and covered the sky, and the dust raised up covered the sky and the sun.

After all, Jiannu was a guest army. After persisting for 20 days, Dorgon finally dared not procrastinate any longer, and chose the last strategy to attack Tongzhou camp.

In order to prevent the Ming army in the capital from turning around and attacking, Dorgon had to divide another [-] cavalry and let Azig be the commander to monitor and contain the Ming army in the capital.

There is no way, the capital has a tall city wall, plus Duoduo's temptation, and the night attack that night, even if more than 20 horse and infantry are all filled in, it is hard to say whether the capital can be breached.

Once the siege of the city is frustrated, the 30 Ming troops in Tongzhou will surely overwhelm them immediately.

So we can only attack Tongzhou Daying.

As long as the 30 Ming army is defeated, even if the final loss is a bit large, they can still besiege the capital, and then send cavalry to go south boldly to raise food.

Even if they can't raise food and don't have the threat of the Tongzhou army, they can kill horses to satisfy their hunger and trap the capital to death.
