To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 114 Volume 3 Man Jianghong

It is still difficult to accommodate tens of thousands of wounded soldiers in the camp. In the cold winter of March [-]th, many people were placed in the open air and groaned loudly. You Miao inspected them one by one, and someone grabbed his hand and shouted in pain: "Run away!" I can't beat it! The Tartars are coming to kill—"

"Don't shake the morale of the army here!!" a lieutenant general shouted.

"Master You!"

Several generals finally found You Miao, and You Miao ordered: "Send someone to the household department and ask them to send the wounded soldiers who have no place to shelter from the wind into the city, and first place them in the other hall on the west side of the palace. Say it, hurry up!"

After finishing the assignment, You Miao went to check the troops again, received the military register for distribution, and sent [-] reinforcements to Tang Hui from the Gyeonggi Army, and collected food and grass and other things, and reported it to the Ministry of War.

"Your Excellency, the Household Department asked us to send troops first..." A general said: "The grain and grass will arrive later."

"Don't send troops if you don't have food and grass!" You Miao was angry, and said, "I'll go and urge you, you just wait here."

You Miao got on the horse and ran all the way to the military department in the light snow. The military department has been bustling like a vegetable market since three days ago, full of noisy people, and there are many small officials standing outside asking for compensation and dispatch.You Miao pushed people away and went in to find the master book. The master book was surrounded by a group of people and couldn't escape, so You Miao shouted: "Where is Ping Xi?!"

"Ping Shilang in the inner hall..." An official was busy looking for the roster, and shouted: "There is no time now...you first...Your Excellency?"

"I'm here to ask for food and grass." You Miao said, "I know that the documents from the Ministry of Household Affairs are still under your pressure..."

When You Miao was running into the inner hall, she almost collided with Ping Xi.You Miao hurriedly said: "Where are the documents for food and grass?"

"There is no food and grass." Ping Xi said with a serious expression: "Today, the Ministry of Households reported that the food and grass have not yet arrived in Beijing."

You Miao became angry, holding the military booklet and saying: "2 people! Without food and grass, how can you let people go to the front to fight!"

Ping Xi couldn't care about other things, and stood in the corridor and quarreled with You Miao: "What can I do if the food and grass haven't been delivered!"

You Miao: "I have an imperial decree!"

Pingxi: "Listen! It's not that we don't dial! It's that we really can't dial..."

The two calmed down a little, You Miao said: "Well, I'll go to the Ministry of Officials and ask them to withhold all the officials' salaries this year, and first fill up the military rations."

Ping Xi said helplessly: "Then you still have to go to the palace. I don't care if you want His Royal Highness's letter, but other officials..."

The army was just outside the city and was about to dispatch troops. The food and grass hadn't arrived yet. You Miao thought that no matter how fast this move was, they would have to wait until dark before they could leave. , you follow me for a while, I will pack up here and go to the official department with you..."

You Miao thought about it, so he went out of the back hall with Ping Xi. Although this group of dandies usually fight openly and secretly, and deal with the soldiers in a few days, but when it comes to an emergency, no one is ambiguous. It is precisely because of this that he is willing to deal with Li Yan and others.Although there are disadvantages in each small section, you can still be sure to pay attention to major events.

Ping Xi asked again: "Your family members have all been sent out of Beijing? Didn't you come back with His Majesty?"

You Miao replied: "Only a few young men, I met Hu people in Hanyin County, and those who wanted to go home were escorted away by Nie Dan."

Ping Xi nodded and said, "That's good..."

While speaking, a messenger from the front line was covered in blood, staggered into the corridor, and shouted: "General Tang Hui has died a heroic sacrifice! The front line has been defeated!"

There was a buzzing in You Miao's head, and Deng felt his world spinning for a while.

Pingxi's face changed instantly, and he and You Miao looked at each other for a long time.

Ping Xi: "It seems that there is no need to send troops out."

You Miao: "Tang Hui is dead?! Brother Tang died like this?!"

The courier gave a general idea intermittently. It turned out that there was a heavy snowfall along the Yellow River last night, and the river was frozen. The Tatars crossed the river quietly with their horseshoes wrapped in sackcloth, and attacked the Tianqi Army camp at night. Tang Hui was suddenly attacked by the enemy, but Do not retreat.Instead, they led the army to meet them hastily, and the two sides fought fiercely on the south bank of the Yellow River all night. By the early morning, the river surface was broken, and countless soldiers fell into the water and froze to death.But Tang Hui was shot by an arrow on the river and fell into the water and died.

You Miao felt trembling back and forth, and a chill down her spine. The Tatars had already crossed the Yellow River, and the capital was only four hundred miles away from the south bank of the Yellow River. That is to say...

Ping Xishang didn't care to speak, and rushed out of the Ministry of War, followed by You Miao. When he left the Ministry of War, he gave instructions to the people who followed him, took off the official seal, and handed it to the school lieutenant, saying: "Take this and go to pass the order. My order, no one is allowed to leave the capital, let Zheng Yong immediately strengthen the defense of the four gates outside the capital, and the Gyeonggi Army will return to defense!"

The captain was still a little confused, and asked, "Master You, are you not supporting the front line?"

You Miao waved his hand to tell him to rush forward to deliver the order, Ping Xi had already got on the horse, the two of them didn't talk all the way, but the thoughts in their hearts were turned upside down.When entering the palace, there were guards everywhere, and as soon as they passed the imperial garden, the guards around the prince stepped forward and scolded: "His Royal Highness is discussing matters in the study...Your Excellency?"

You Miao: "There is something urgent! It's too late to pass it on!"

The guard said: "No! No matter who you are, you can't go in!"

The prince's swearing and Zhao Chao's angry disputes could be faintly heard in the study, and You Miao's heart trembled. The prince has always been amiable in front of the officials, and he has never seen him cursing violently. The matter seems serious?

Ping Xi didn't dare to force his way in, so he could only say: "Let's wait outside."

"No!" You Miao stepped forward and pushed the door. The guards did not dare to stop You Miao, so they had to step aside.

"You are committing a crime..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

From the outside, it sounded like Zhao Chao and the crown prince were the only two people, but unexpectedly they stood in a dense crowd, with the military generals headed by Zhao Chao and the civil servants headed by the prince standing on each side.The prince's face was terribly dark, while Zhao Chao's face was red from the quarrel.

For a while, the room was terribly quiet, and everyone looked at You Miao.

"Tang Hui is dead." You Miao said in a deep voice, "The Tatar army has crossed the Yellow River."

The prince's voice trembled: "Very good...no one can leave now."

Zhao Chao took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his voice: "You Miao, follow me."

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the defeated soldiers from the Yellow River retreated to the capital. In an instant, the entire capital was full of wounded soldiers. Looking back from the south gate, there were many barracks in the cold wind, crying everywhere, and flags fluttering.The prince strictly ordered the news to be blocked, the army strictly built the city defenses, sent fourteen troops to the south of the Yangtze River, and issued the king's order.
