Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 115 I am personally the bait
At this time, the capital is still as calm as ever.

Although due to the closed city gates, the grain and goods in the south stayed in Tongzhou, Tianjin and other places, resulting in a slight increase in prices in the capital.

But the dignitaries and nobles in the capital and the people of the Li people are still living their lives as usual. The reason why they are as calm as before is because His Majesty Zhu Youxiao didn't panic, and the people below didn't panic either.

Even in order to prevent riots and fears in the capital, Zhu Youxiao specially offered sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven and Earth at this time, and specially ordered Qian Qianyi to make the ceremony a big one, so that the people in the capital would know that their emperor was confident that the capital would not be destroyed by Tartars. breach.

However, although Zhu Youxiao deliberately did this, he went to court as usual, offered sacrifices as usual, held the selection of Shuji scholars of the Imperial Academy as usual, visited the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Academy of Sciences as usual, and came to the barracks of the Imperial Guard to give lectures to the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard as usual.

But the more and more depressing atmosphere obviously began to become more and more intense.

Jinyiweiti cavalry galloped around the city in an endless stream. Although they were not arresting people everywhere like in the past, they still made the hearts of all the people in the capital beat faster. Everyone knew that this situation only showed that the Tartars were still plundering the capital.

Otherwise, the news would not be transmitted so frequently, and the relatives also began to worry about whether their manor outside the city would be destroyed by the Tartars, and they kept asking His Majesty to send troops to quell the Tartar rebellion.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was also sitting in the Xinuang Pavilion with an angry face, listening to the report of Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei.

Since the Tartars withdrew from Jizhou City, Huang Taiji and other main Tartars began to flexibly set fires everywhere, from the slaughter of Yutian to the slaughter of Fengrun, and now Xianghe is also hard to escape.

The north of Daming, which had just regained some vitality due to the passing of the natural disaster, had to face another man-made disaster.

"The Tartars are all cavalry with strong mobility. If they attack the capital, they can gather heavy troops to fight decisively with them. But now Huang Taiji has learned from the bandits that they don't attack big cities, but only plunder food and population, and only attack small cities. , even if the capital is not destroyed, there will be countless civilians displaced in Ming Dynasty, and more fields will be barren, we can't let the Tartars continue to loot like this, Your Majesty!"

Li Mingrui said worriedly.

Zhu Youxiao didn't answer, but clenched his fists tightly, and immediately ordered: "Wang Chengen, Wei Guangwei!"

"Chen is here!"

"From now on, the two of you will be in charge of supervising the government affairs of the capital. You can report major events to me immediately, and you can decide on small matters yourself!"

Zhu Youxiao said and ordered Liu Ruoyu: "You are fully responsible for the military affairs in the capital. If there is any mistake, you, the cabinet elders and the six ministries and nine ministers will jointly presume that the descendants of the close relatives of the royal family are the heirs!"

After hearing this, Wang Chengen, Wei Guangwei, Liu Ruoyu and others couldn't help looking at Zhu Youxiao in astonishment: "Your Majesty, what do you want?"

Zhu Youxiao just smiled and said: "You say that if the Tartars know that I am not in the capital, and there are only more than ten thousand recruits from the Imperial Guard around you, do you think Huang Taiji wants to plunder property and people and go directly to the outside of the pass, or does he want to A way to get rid of me, the Great Ming Emperor?"

The ministers on duty at Xinuang Pavilion all knelt down without even thinking about it: "No, Your Majesty, you are the king of ten thousand chariots, how can you put yourself to the test of danger? Tartars have always been brave, but now they are moving strangely. Tens of thousands, you only bring more than ten thousand people, without a strong city, it is difficult to win, Your Majesty!"

"Stop talking, I've made up my mind, since the capital can't attract the Tartars, then let me be the bait, I don't believe that the Tartars don't want to get rid of me!"

As Zhu Youxiao said, he ordered Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei: "Pass the decree to Lu Xiangsheng, asking him to temporarily restrain the divisions of King Qin from Jiliao, Liaodong, Qin, Jin, and Shandong except the capital division. When the time comes, be sure to support, if anyone falters, you Jin Yiwei can kill him on the spot!"

……

The strong wind blows, Beidi comes, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, smoke everywhere, more than ten thousand imperial guards outside the palace stand upright, looking at Zhu Youxiao, His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty on the palace city, no one said anything, but everyone knew, they followed What to do next.

Eleven thousand Janissaries officers and soldiers.

21 Daming No. 64 guns and [-] Daming No. [-] guns.

A battalion of fusiliers was [-] strong.

One thousand elite cavalry.

This is all the troops that Zhu Youxiao can control, but it is the most advanced army in Ming Dynasty.

However, the ministers didn't think His Majesty's tens of thousands of imperial guards could compare with the barbaric Tartars, Liu Ruoyu even advised: "Your Majesty, it's better not to go."

"If you disturb the morale of the army again, believe it or not, I will kill you now," Zhu Youxiao said coldly, and Liu Ruoyu had no choice but to shut up.

"Aobai!"

Zhu Youxiao shouted loudly, and Oboi immediately turned his horse's head: "The minister is here!"

"Raising the dragon flag and blowing the music", Zhu Youxiao didn't intend to sneak out of the capital, he wanted to tell Huang Taiji blatantly that he was out of the city, and he wanted to sweep the court with the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao specially set off on a dragon chariot, set up a guard of honor, and deliberately left the city in a high-profile way.

……

"Khan, I just got the news that Zhu Youxiao really left the capital and has gone to Shunyi."

After a Eight Banners spy muttered a few words beside Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji couldn't help but burst out laughing: "What the hell is this Zhu Youxiao going to do? He didn't hide well in the capital, but he came out. Have you found out how many people are around him? "

"Not many, more than [-] people, all recruits he trained a few months ago, it seems that this is the first time to fight."

At this time, Fan Wencheng lifted the curtain and walked in: "Khan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rid of Zhu Youxiao. With my bravery as an athlete of the Eight Banners, I can't beat a group of child soldiers who have never killed anyone."

"Tell him to turn around and rush to Shunyi immediately. The Amin Department will find a way to intercept Zhu Youxiao first, and tell him that Ben Khan will arrive later. If he can get rid of this person, it will be the biggest gain of this entry."

As Huang Taiji said, Dorgon couldn't help but said: "Khan, this Zhu Youxiao dared to go out of the capital, and he must have been prepared. In the past few days, we have seen his behavior. I'm afraid he will Are you using yourself as a bait to lure us into the bait?"

"He, Zhu Youxiao, is just an ignorant kid from the forbidden courtyard of Yishen Palace. Could it be that he can't scare me from thousands of people who control strings in the Eight Banners? Even if he has a net, we have to see if he can catch us. Daishan, you Lead five hundred white-armored soldiers, one thousand unarmored soldiers as the vanguard, Li Yongfang, after you lead five thousand wrapped clothes and bring your supplies and food, you will set off in an hour!"

As Zhu Youxiao expected, although Huang Taiji and others are wise and courageous, they are also too confident in their Eight Banners fighting power. In other words, in their eyes, they also think that they are the strongest army in the world, but they don't know that future wars will be The pros and cons of firearms determine the outcome.
