Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 198 I Can't Leave Now

Zhu Youjian's "broken!" suddenly frightened the hearts of the important officials present to their throats.

Shi Kefa looked at Zhu Youjian, puzzled, wondering why His Majesty was so nervous all of a sudden?

He Xin couldn't help clenching his fists, looking at the bowl of tea in Zhu Youjian's hand, fearing that His Majesty would throw it out angrily again.

Gao Hongtu couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. As a cabinet scholar who only knew how to write imperial edicts, he couldn't figure out that what Lu Daqi said just now was wrong.

Lu Daqi originally had some confidence because of Zhu Youjian's affirmation, but now Zhu Youjian's "broken" made him pale again: "Your Majesty, what's broken?"

"The so-called non-despair is because there is hope, and the so-called daring to die is because there is hope of survival. You must give Zhang Keliang a time to stick to it, so that he can see hope. Even if the hope is very slim, he will not despair. Even if you fight to the last moment, you will be willing to feel that you are not capable enough, and now you order him to stand firm and never retreat, and there is no time limit, he will definitely be desperate, even if he is not desperate, his soldiers will also be desperate, human beings If you have the desire to survive, even if you, Lu Daqi, encounter difficulties and know how to let go of your pick, why can't he surrender and seek a chance of survival?"

"He dares, I usually treat him well, he is a vulgar warrior, he should have the consciousness of being shrouded in horse leather!" Lu Daqi replied without thinking.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but glared at Lu Daqi, this is the arrogance of civil servants and soldiers, they take it for granted that they are in favor of you, and you should fight to the death for yourself, the so-called nerd leading troops is nothing more than that.

However, at this moment, suddenly there was loud drumming outside, Zhu Youjian and Lu Daqi looked up, and saw a man running back covered in blood: "Zhatai! Hulao Pass has fallen, and guerrilla Zhang Keliang has led more than three hundred Everyone surrendered to Jiannu, and now Jiannu has killed and rushed to Kaifeng Mansion!"

The man fell to the ground after speaking, obviously because he rushed all the way to report the news. Sometimes whether the Ming Dynasty can continue is closely related to the efforts of these little people.

However, when the notifying soldier fell to the ground, no one was paying attention to him, and the entire hall was unusually quiet, and the sound of a needle falling could be heard quietly.

Hulao Pass was lost, and Zhu Youjian's result of the surrender of the defender was unfortunate!
At this time, Shi Kefa first shouted: "Your Majesty, retreat quickly! You can no longer stay in Kaifeng City!"

He Xin and Gao Hongtu also bowed quickly and strongly suggested to Zhu Youjian: "Yes, Your Majesty, quickly withdraw, Hulao Pass is lost now, Kaifeng City is about to be lost, you must not stay here any longer!"

It is reasonable for the accompanying officials to care about Zhu Youjian's safety first. After all, for them, Zhu Youjian is the most important thing, and everything else doesn't matter.

Lu Daqi seemed to have forgotten the existence of Zhu Youjian, so he roared and looked for swords and swords everywhere. He saw that only Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, was carrying the Xiuchun knife, and he was about to pull Li Ruolian's Xiuchun knife: "What a Zhang Keliang! , dare to surrender to the enemy, I must kill you!"

Li Ruolian, as the imperial guard, saw someone pulling out his sword, so he kicked Lu Daqi away without even thinking about it!

Dare to draw his sword, except for His Majesty Zhu Youjian and himself, other people, even first-rank officials, can be beheaded first and played later, so Li Ruolian just kicked Lu Daqi is considered light.

Here, Shi Kefa couldn't help roaring first: "Yanruo, you are so confused, you dare to disturb Shengjia!"

Lu Daqi also came back to his senses at this time, and realized that he seemed to have done something negligent just now, so he couldn't help bowing: "Your Majesty, my humble minister just now."

"Needless to say, I know you lost your composure for a while," Zhu Youjian was speaking, while Lu Daqi said again: "Why doesn't Your Majesty leave? Jiannu is about to enter Kaifeng City!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, hurry up and retreat!" Shi Kefa and others hurriedly shouted again.

Zhu Youjian came to the window and looked out of the window, there were countless private houses and square streets with only a piece of scorched earth, and the Zhou Wangfu, which was once tall and majestic, but now turned into a muddy land.

It can be said that the trauma Li Zicheng caused to Kaifeng Mansion has not healed until now, and now he has to face the attack of Jiannu. The Central Plains of China has never been peaceful since ancient times.

"I just came to Kaifeng Mansion, and I was in a hurry to leave before I had a good rest. Don't you think that the Qing army is too angry. What are you afraid of, Lu Daqi, you are now going to arrange the defense of the city. Don't worry about me. I will choose. It's the best time to leave this place, but now you have to tell all the officers, soldiers and people in the city that their emperor is here, and he is here to watch them! It doesn't matter if the Qing army tartars know, I want to see See if those treacherous officials and thieves are ashamed when they know I'm here!"

Although Zhu Youjian spoke boldly and freely, in fact, he is not really not afraid, but he knows that he cannot escape immediately. As the emperor, Jin Luan entered Kaifeng City with great fanfare, which has already been known to many officials and people in Kaifeng Now, if I move again at this time, it will definitely cause people to panic. At that time, Kaifeng City will definitely not be able to defend. The first army of the guards is the king of fire and speed.

But in that case, it will only accelerate the demise of Henan.

The Eunuch Shi Kefa, the Supervisor of Rites, Gao Hongtu, the cabinet scholar, He Xin, the eunuch of the Yuma Supervisor, Wang Chengen, the admiral of the East Factory, Li Ruolian, the Commander of Jinyiwei, Xia Yunyi, the Commander, and Xia Wanchun, the champion of the Xinke, all looked at His Majesty Zhu Youjian. How should I say it.

At this time, Lu Daqi was ordered to go out to prepare for the city defense, and even with Zhu Youjian, there was the sound of swords being unsheathed outside the inner hall of the governor's office, footsteps came one after another, and someone could be heard shouting in the distance: "Martial law everywhere!" , ready to prepare for battle, His Majesty is now in the city, and you are equal to defending against foreign captives!"

Although the city defenses of Kaifeng City have not been fully repaired, the officials and the people have already had experience in defending the city, and the reactions everywhere are indeed quick. In addition, knowing that His Majesty is also here, everyone is more active than when the king of Zhou defended the city back then.

Zhu Youjian raised his head and glanced at everyone: "Why are you all looking at me? Right now, you and I are both members of the city, and we all have the responsibility to defend the city!"

As he said that, Zhu Youjian ordered Li Ruolian: "Take the courier who is still sleeping outside to the room to have a good rest, and ask the accompanying imperial physician to take a good look at him to see if he is injured anywhere."

The ministers were quite speechless, thinking that His Majesty still cared about the people under him at this time, and he was not worried about himself.

At this time, Zhu Youjian ordered again: "Xia Yunyi, quickly take your soldiers to support the governor Lu Daqi, and assist the army and people in Kaifeng to defend the city, but don't make arbitrary claims. Everything is at Lu Daqi's command. I have Li Ruolian here. The Jinyiwei is enough! The rest of the people will follow me to the top of the tower, but everyone must be vigilant, and beware of sneak attacks by the Tartars in the city! After all, you and I are all famous in the Tartars. of."

At this time, Xia Wanchun stood up: "Your Majesty!"
