Chapter 11 Occupy of Tianjin Wei
To be honest, this is also the first time that their army has fought directly with Jiannu. The strength of the army of Jiannu was passed down by the Ming army and the gods, saying that the female truth is more than ten thousand invincible. Now the gold is also the remnant of the female truth, and it is more than ten thousand people.
This time they have to face a large army of more than 100,000 slaves, but their strength is only about 30,000, and they have to block such a wide area and block the slaves here, so the generals will not feel relaxed.
After all, no one dares to be careless to fight with the rumored and quite awesome Jiannu army in the world, so today Yu Xiaotian spoke so seriously that he beat them in advance.
According to the signs on the map, the brigade commanders immediately went down and began to arrange after the military pre-meeting. At the material stacking place of the battalion, they immediately became lively. The brigades sent their soldiers here to collect the ammunition and materials they needed. Then, before noon, the troops ordered to leave began to leave the battalion.
The people sent by the fourth brigade soon arrived at the edge of the canal, detained several boat resting on the dock on the side of the canal, and ordered the boatmen and boatmen on the boat to immediately take them to the river to block the canal.
The canal of the Ming Dynasty is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, with its destination in Tongzhou in the north and Yangzhou in the south. This is the blood vessel channel in the north of the Ming Dynasty. Grain in the north cannot be self-sufficient. Every year, a large amount of grain and taxes collected by provinces are transported from the south to Beijing.
During this period, Jiannu went south to enter the bandits, and was attacked by the Jiannu army** in Shandong, and the canal transportation on the canal was also temporarily suspended. Therefore, in the area of Tianjin Wei, many boats were stranded in Tongzhou to prepare to go down along Henan.
These Caoding on the Cao boat have learned that Yu Jiajun suddenly landed at Dagukou and surrounded the Tianjin Wei. Some boatmans on the Cao boat fled for fear of being involved in this matter.
There are rumors everywhere on the canal that Yu Xiaotian led his army to Tianjin Wei this time, not as they said. Many people said that Yu Xiaotian was going to rebel this time and directly attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty while building slaves.
Therefore, Yu's army is a rebel. When the rebels come here, they will definitely fight with the officers and soldiers. These canal boats are ships of the Ming Dynasty, and Caoding is also the personnel of the Ming Dynasty, and they will certainly not fall well.
So many boatman Caoding on the boat fled when he heard the wind. He didn't even want the boat. Let's hide first.
But among the rumors, there is another voice, that is, there is a private legend that Yu Xiaotian really came to fight Jiannu this time. Yu Xiaotian hated Jiannu most in his life. This time, he heard that Jiannu broke through the customs and invaded the bandits. The northern officers and soldiers were invincible, which made the Jiannu army go thousands of miles like a land of no man, and made the north Ming Dynasty. The surname is Life.
So Yu Xiaotian was furious and scolded the incompetence of the court. These officials were also incompetent, so he bravely led his troops and horses from Fujian and arrived here day and night for more than a month, vowing to fight against Jiannu here.
Some people don't believe it, so there have been conflicts between the boats for this matter, and all of them have broken their heads.
Sure enough, in two days, the people of Yu's army arrived at the canal, began to block the canal, forcibly conquer the canal ships on the canal, and issued an announcement, saying that they would block the Jiannu army here, fight to the death with the Jiannu army, and ordered the boatman and Caoding on the boat to assist the Yu family's army. War.
And the news was sent quite quickly and soon spread far away. Everyone would be suspicious of the family army's rhetoric.
At this time, there was a sudden rumbling sound of gunfire on Tianjin Wei's side, and there was a dense sound of fire like a popping bean.
Kong Dashan, who was ordered to attack Tianjin Wei, took action at this time.
After Kong Dashan got the order, he immediately ordered his troops and horses, dragged the cannon directly to the south gate of the Acropolis of Tianjin, and once again issued an ultimatum to the defenders in the city, telling them to requisition the Acropolis, stop the construction of the slave army here, and ordered the defenders in the city to immediately leave the city to withdraw from here, and the Yu family army promised not to harm them.
However, how dare the defenders easily abandon their defense and escape? In that case, even if they escape, they will be investigated by the court, it will be a capital crime. Therefore, the general ordered that they would never accept Yu Xiaotian's request, and mobilized the defenders to go to the city to defend the city and put on a posture of fighting to the end.
Kong Dashan saw that the ultimatum was useless and no longer polite to them, and immediately led the army to launch an attack on the south gate.
Yu's army's tactics have nothing to say. The artillery bombarded, the infantry rushed to the city wall, and fired guns to suppress it. The rest of the soldiers began to attack the city under the cover of artillery fire.
Where did the defenders of Tianjin Wei go through this kind of battle? As soon as they fired a few shots, several rotten cannons on the head of their city were bombarded and flew under the wall by the cannons of the Yu family army.
As soon as the defenders were about to work hard on the wall, they lowered their heads and hit rows of bullets. As a result, more than 100 defenders, together with the defenders who supervised the war here, were cut to the ground in an instant.
It turned out that Kong Dashan was also ready for a war, but what he didn't expect was that the officers and soldiers on the Tianjin Wei side were so unbearable. It was not long before he launched the offensive that he killed and injured 1,200 defenders, and the officers and soldiers defending the city had begun to collapse. Their ladders had just been built on the wall, from the other side to the north. The door came with news that a large number of defenders opened the north gate and fled out of the abandoned city.
Originally, Kong Dashan thought that it would be good to attack the city in the afternoon, but he didn't expect that by noon, the defenders in the city had abandoned the city and fled, leaving the whole Acropolis to the army.
So Yu Jiajun easily conquered the Acropolis, opened the south gate and flocked in without paying any price.
In one afternoon, Kong Dashan completely eliminated the resistance officers and soldiers in the whole Tianjin Acropolis and controlled the whole Tianjin Acropolis.
When it was not dark, Yu Jiajun posted a notice of Anmin in the city, informing the residents in the city that there was no time to escape. Don't be afraid. Their Yu family army is not a slave, let alone like other officers and soldiers. As long as they obey the management of the family army, Yu family army will have nothing to do to the residents in the city.
Even when they captured the families of a group of soldiers in the city who did not have time to escape, they were released on the spot after screening. After the martial law in the whole city, the Yu family did not rush into anyone's house for looting, but set up sent patrols on the streets, sent patrols around the city, and arrested and killed them. Killed dozens of land scoundrels who took the opportunity to make trouble in the city and completely stabilized the situation in Tianjin Acropolis.
When the people in the city saw that the military was disciplined, as they preached, they basically did nothing to the people, so they were a little relieved.
After Yu Jiajun also entered the city, it only controlled some warehouses, barracks, government offices, horse enclosures and other places in the city. The rest of the place basically only sent some sentries, which did not make the city chaotic at all.
However, those officers and soldiers who escaped from the Acropolis fell well. After they broke out of Tianjin Wei, they tried to escape to Tongzhou, but soon after they escaped, they were blocked by a cavalry of the Yu family army. After slashing a group of soldiers, they circled the defeated soldiers and drove them back to Tianjin Wei, all of whom were relieved. In addition to the armed forces, it was temporarily disrupted and assigned to various ministries as temporary cool forces. As for the officers above the general flag, all of them were temporarily detained and waited for further disposal after the war.
So in just one day, more than 3,000 defenders of Tianjin Wei announced that they were disarmed by the Yu family army, and Tianjin Wei also fell into the hands of Yu Xiaotian and became Yu Xiaotian's first bridgehead in the Gyeonggi area.
The Ming court has also been nervously paying attention to the situation of Yu's army. Every day, it sends people to Tianjin Weiyi area to inquire about the news. Every night, they don't come and go like horse lanterns. Every day, they send the news they find in Tianjin Wei area back to the capital and submit it to the military department. The military department does not stop for a moment and quickly send it to the palace.
In the past few days, Chongzhen's hair has become much whiter. He is always worried that the rebels led by Yu Xiaotian will suddenly appear in the capital. In the past few days, he has been almost sleepless, staring at the movements of the troops, and forced the troops to rush to the designated position immediately. Even the investigation of the position of the high position has been temporarily shelved by him.
Yang Sichang also smelled the danger. He was afraid that if this thing could not be done well, he would be counted together by Chongzhen's new accounts and old accounts. Therefore, these days, he also stared at the movements of officers and soldiers from all walks of life day and night, constantly ordered to mobilize troops and horses to block the place where Tianjin Wei to Beijing.
The eunuch ran back to the capital and told Yu Xiaotian's words to Chongzhen, but Chongzhen did not believe what Yu Xiaotian said at all. What a bullshit came here to fight against Jiannu. This guy was simply going to rebel.
As for Yu Xiaotian's salary, he regarded it as a fart and didn't even consider it. He just pulled a group of ministers every day to discuss how to eliminate Xiaotian.
In the next few days, the armies continued to go to Tianjin Wei to investigate the movements of the army, but the news sent back made Chongzhen and a group of ministers even more confused.
After Yu's army landed in Dagukou, they immediately entered the Tianjin Guard, and then came the news that Yu Xiaotian's soldiers and horses attacked the Tianjin Guard. At this time, the government and the opposition immediately cursed against Xiaotian, and were more convinced that Yu Xiaotian was going to rebel. Otherwise, how could he beat Tianjin Wei as soon as he arrived at Tianjin Wei? What about coming down?
So all kinds of curses of the capital were endless, and the voices of the imperial court to send troops to destroy them were even more noisy. For a moment, there was a lot of noise in the capital.
However, the next news sent back from Tianjin Weiyi made everyone a little surprised. According to common sense, since Yu Xiaotian led his troops** and went straight to Tianjin by sea, his purpose should be obvious, that is, to take the capital directly capture the capital at the fastest speed, and directly remove the Ming court.
