It is still difficult to accommodate tens of thousands of wounded soldiers in the camp. In the cold winter of March 9th, many people were left to moan loudly in the cold open air. You Miao checked one by one, and someone grabbed his hand and shouted in pain: "Run, run. Can't beat it! The Tartars are going to kill--"
"Don't shake the heart of the army here!!" a general roared.
"Master Tour!"
Several generals finally found You Miao, and You Miao ordered: "Send someone to the Ministry of Housing and ask them to send the wounded soldiers who have no place to protect them from the wind into the city, and put them in the other hall on the west side of the palace first. Say it, hurry up!"
After You Miao finished the assignment, he went to the school team again, received the army book assignment, sent 20,000 additional reinforcements to Tang Hui from the Gyeonggi Army, and collected food and grass and other things, and reported it to the Ministry of War.
"Lord You, the Ministry of Household has 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 said angrily, "I'm going to urge you, you guys just wait here."
You Miao got on his horse and ran all the way to the Ministry of War in the light snow. The Ministry of War had been bustling like a vegetable market since three days ago. There were noisy people everywhere. You Miao pushed people away and went in to look for the master. The master was surrounded by a group of people and couldn't get out. You Miao shouted, "Where is Pingxi?!"
"The Ping Shilang is in the inner hall..." An official was busy looking for the roster and shouted: "There is no time now... You first... Master You?"
"I'm here to ask for food and grass." You Miao said: "I know that the documents from the Ministry of Household are still with you..."
When You Miao was running into the inner hall, she almost collided with Ping Xi. You Miao hurriedly said, "Where's the document for the grain and grass?"
"There is no food and grass." Pingxi said solemnly: "Today, I received the news from the household department, and the food and grass have not yet arrived in Beijing."
You Miao was on fire, holding the military book and said: "Twenty thousand people! How can you let people go to the front to fight without food and grass!"
Pingxi couldn't care about anything else, and stood in the corridor and quarreled with You Miao: "What can I do if the food and grass are not delivered to me!"
You Miao: "I have the imperial edict in hand!"
Pingxi: "Listen! It's not that we don't dial! It's really impossible to dial..."
The two calmed down a little, and You Miao said: "In this way, I will go to the Ministry of Personnel and ask them to deduct all the salaries of officials this year, and fill them up first."
Pingxi said helplessly: "Then you have to go to the palace for a trip. I don't care if you want His Royal Highness's hand letter, but other officials..."
The army was about to send troops outside the city, and the food and grass hadn't arrived yet. Youmiao thought to himself that no matter how fast it was, he would have to wait until it was dark before he could send troops. , you come with me, I'll pack up in a while and go with you to the Ministry of Personnel..."
You Miao thought about it, and went out of the back room with Pingxi. Although this group of playboys fights openly and secretly on weekdays, and they will deal with the soldiers in a few days, but if they really want to encounter an emergency period, no one is ambiguous, You Miao also It is because of this that he is willing to deal with Li Yan and others. Although there are disadvantages in each section, when it comes to major events, you can be sure to pay attention.
Pingxi asked again: "All your family members have been sent out of Beijing? Didn't you come back with His Majesty?"
You Miao replied: "Just a few servants. There were Hu people in Hanyin County, and all those who wanted to go home were escorted away by Nie Dan."
Ping Xi nodded and said, "That's good..."
Just as he was speaking, a frontline messenger, covered in blood, staggered into the corridor and shouted, "General Tang Hui died heroically! The frontline is defeated!"
With a buzzing sound in Youmiao's head, Dengjue was spinning for a while.
Pingxi's expression changed in an instant, and he and Youmiao looked at each other for a long time.
Pingxi: "It seems that there is no need to send troops out."
You Miao: "Tang Hui is dead?! Brother Tang just died like this?!!"
The messenger gave a rough outline. It turned out that there was a heavy snowfall along the Yellow River last night, and the river was frozen. The Tartars wrapped horseshoes in sackcloth and quietly crossed the river. They attacked the Tianqi army camp at night. Don't step back. Instead, they led the army to attack in a hurry. The two sides fought fiercely on the south bank of the Yellow River all night. By the early morning, the ice on the river was broken, and countless soldiers fell into the water and died of freezing. Tang Hui was shot by an arrow on the river and fell into the water to his death.
You Miao felt the trembling behind her back and the chill on her back. The Tartars had already crossed the Yellow River, and the capital was only four hundred miles away from the south bank of the Yellow River, which means…
Ping Xishang didn't care to speak, and rushed out of the military department in a hurry. You Miao followed closely. After leaving the military department, he gave instructions to the people he followed, and removed the official seal and handed it over to the captain: "Take this to pass the order, no 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 Colonel was still a little stunned and asked, "Master You, are you not supporting the front line?"
You Miao waved his hand and ordered him to rush forward to give orders. Ping Xi had already mounted the horse. The two of them didn't talk all the way, but the thoughts in their hearts turned upside down. When entering the palace, there were guards everywhere, and as soon as they passed the imperial garden, the guards beside the prince stepped forward and scolded: "His Royal Highness is discussing affairs in the study... Sir You?"
You Miao: "I'm in a hurry! It's too late to pass the news!"
The guard said: "No! No one can enter!"
The prince's scolding and Zhao Chao's angry arguing were vaguely heard in the study. You Miao's heart froze. The prince has always been pleasant in front of the ministers. He has never seen him irritate and scolded people. The matter seems serious
Pingxi didn't dare to push hard, 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 move away from both sides.
"You are guilty of..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
From the outside, it sounded like there were only Zhao Chao and the prince, but unexpectedly, they were all standing on the ground, with the generals headed by Zhao Chao and the civil servants headed by the prince standing on one side. The prince's face was terrifyingly black, while Zhao Chao's face was flushed.
For a while, the room was terribly silent, and everyone looked at You Miao.
"Tang Hui is dead." You Miao said solemnly, "The Tatar army has already 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 come with me."
On the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, the defeated soldiers of 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 to block the news, the army strictly fortified the city, sent fourteen troops to the south of the Yangtze River, and issued the order of the king of diligence.
