Chapter 43 Take the opportunity to make trouble
This time, General Yu suddenly led his troops straight to Tianjin Wei, blocking the road of Jiannu out of the customs in one fell swoop. He was outnumbered by the crowd and won more with fewer. He tried his best to kill the Jiannu army and rescued hundreds of thousands of people who were trapped by Jiannu. What a credit!
As the saying goes, saving people's lives is like building a seven-level flotation. General Yu saved hundreds of thousands of Ming people at once. What a merit! If he is a traitor and thief as the court said, if so, it is difficult for Yu Xiaotian to take it seriously. He let the capital to fight, but he has to block Jiannu and fight with the Jiannu army.
He has only 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers in total. Some people have no place to use it. They have to fight to the death with Jiannu first, and then start a rebellion. When he is full, he still thinks that his soldiers and generals are too long and too many soldiers to feed so many people. Let Jiannu consume part of it first.
The common people also have their own mindset. Everyone thinks that Jiannu is very powerful. No matter who it is, it is a good man if they can be defeated by Jiannu. It is even more difficult to win Jiannu. Even if the Yu Jiajun is defeated by Jiannu this time, it is estimated that the loss will be very large, but the court is stunned to turn black and white, saying that General Yu is What a traitor and thief.
Isn't it just that they didn't obey the edict and entered the King of Beijing without authorization, but isn't it also for your Ming Dynasty? Now that people have tried their best to defeat Jiannu, you should not care about the past and make a crime. Even if you are not rewarded, at least you can't be punished!
However, when the court heard that the Yu family army had defeated Jiannu, it directly turned against them and told the world that they were scheme and traitors. This... This... is too shameless!
You have to unload the grinding to kill the donkey first. If you win, if you don't even unload the grinding, you will kill the donkey.
Birds hid rabbits and dogs to cook. At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, at least burned the Qinggong Building after the bottom of the world was settled. Your Chongzhen's side just defeated the army of Jiannu and directly turned against them. This is also amazing!
So the people in the city suddenly made an uproar. Naturally, some people quarreled in the crowd and began to shout injustice for Yu Xiaotian. At the beginning, Chongzhen killed Yuan Chonghuan because he ate people and did nothing. After becoming the governor of Ji Liao, Lang said that he would flatten Liao for five years, but less than a year after taking office, he first took Mao Wenlong and Maoshuai were killed, and then put the taro into the customs, plundered the capital, and went straight outside the gate of the capital.
The commander-in-chief led the battle with the Jiannu army. You, Yuan Chonghuan, did not go to fight Jiannu, but put cold arrows in the back, shooting and injuring a lot. Even the commander-in-chief was hit by several arrows and almost shot on the spot. Later, he made the battle life and death.
Therefore, Chongzhen's killing of Yuan Chonghuan has won the unanimous support of the people of the Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be a very gratifying move, but now there is nothing that people can do!
Yu's army went north to fight against the army of the construction of slaves. When they arrived in Tianjin, they continued to send people to ask for help and asked the court to allocate military food. However, the court did not send a single soldier to reinforce them. Not to mention a grain of food, a big man did not give it to others. They just let hundreds of thousands of Ming officers and soldiers watch the Yu's army alone in Tianjin. He fought with Jiannu for half a month.
That's all. Now that people have exerted their strength and won the war, and the court wants to rule the sinner's family Yu Xiaotian and Marshal. What is this?
Of course, there was Yu Xiaotian's detailed work in the crowd. Of course, he would not say good words for the court when he got such news. He immediately shouted in the crowd and counted all kinds of things in the court.
People's hearts have a scale. Whoever does it right, who does it well, and who doesn't do it well, the people themselves will psychologically measure it, but this matter doesn't make sense, so everyone felt that the court did too unkindly this time, so they suddenly got up.
The people are all quarreling and shouting. This can't be done like this. This matter is wrong with the court. The law has never controlled the public. If there were only one and a half people quarreling, I guess the servants of Shuntianfu would have jumped up to get people, but once the people all over the street were so noisy, they would not dare to move.
So the servant suppressed the people's anger and quickly returned it to the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. As soon as the governor of Shuntianfu heard it, he quickly sent a letter to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen is about to send someone to withdraw the notice to inform the world first. After he has discussed how to deal with it next, he didn't expect that Shuntianfu would be so neat today. As soon as Yu Xiaotian sent Dorgan's body to the capital, Shuntianfu posted the imperial edict to inform the world. Get out.
This time is good. The capital master was in a mess first. Chongzhen sat on the radish at once. It is not whether he takes back the order or not. If he does not withdraw the order, it means that his emperor, the emperor, is a faint king. If he does not take back his life, there will be chaos.
So Chongzhen quickly sent people to mobilize troops, went to the streets to suppress them, and imposed martial law on the capital again. No one was allowed to make noise in the street. Once he found it, he was regarded as a filial piety's accomer, and immediately arrested him in the prison for torture.
As a result, the officers and soldiers rushed to the street, beat them indiscriminately, drove the people back to their homes, and caught a lot of anger on the spot. The people who were shouting for Yu Xiaotian's grievances on the street seemed to temporarily control the chaos in the city.
But the people can't figure it out and be suppressed for the time being, which does not mean that they accept such a fact. A feeling of indignation began to spread in the minds of the people. Many people heard such a saying that the Ming Dynasty was about to be finished. If they met such a stupid king, what future did Daming have?
Today, the emperor is diligent on the surface, but he is really a confused king. As soon as he came to power, he defeated Wei Zhongxian's party and did something clear. Then he used Yuan Chonghuan, a confused official, to make Jiannu break through the barrier and go straight to the capital.
Later, he looked at the people he used, and then appointed Wen Tiren. Wen Tiren is now stinky. After this man became the first assistant, in addition to trying his best to eliminate dissidents and exclude many useful officials, he basically did not do much personnel. How many years of corpses have been served, and he was trusted by the emperor today. Later, he did not It is estimated that this man is still the first assistant to be exposed.
It was not easy to see who Wen Ciren was, and then used Yang Sichang. Yang Sichang did something else. The people can't remember some meritorious things he had done before. At this time, the people only remember that Yang Sichang and the emperor's favored waiter hid high and forced Lu Junmen out. Finally, he died on the battlefield.
Moreover, Yang Sichang also proposed after the incident that he would send troops to cooperate with the Jiannu army to attack the Yu family army at the time of the war between the family and the Jiannu army. Although after the incident, under the people's grievances, the court reluctantly withdrew its order and stopped cooperating with the Jiannu army to attack the Yu family army, but this matter It shows that today's emperor has indeed listened to the slander.
There are also rumors that some people say that when Jiannu entered the customs, today's emperor also tried to make peace with Jiannu and lost the tribute to Jiannu in exchange for Jiannu not entering the customs after entering the customs.
If no one intends to remind and guide these things, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the people to combine and associate too much, but once there are some intentional people who deliberately talk about these things together, the people will naturally choose to believe.
So the tall image of the Ming Dynasty, which has been finally established by Chongzhen for more than ten years, was destroyed by these rumors and secrets spread by Yu Xiaotian in just a few months. He turned into a faint king, and he was a faint king who could no longer faint.
Chongzhen has not yet figured out how to deal with Yu Xiaotian sending Dorcon's body to Beijing. The imperial edict he sent there has been sent to Baoding and Xianghe quickly.
Chen Xinjia, the minister of the Ministry of War and the new governor of Xuanda in Baoding, did not dare to neglect the order, and although he did not know how many soldiers and horses he lost in the war against the Yu family's army, he was also sure that even if the Yu family army defeated the construction of slaves this battle, it would definitely be a tragic victory.
The military strength itself is not very large. After such a huge battle, it must have consumed a lot of troops, and it must have been unable to fight again.
So he was immediately interested. He immediately went out of the city in person, entered the camp, sat in the army and ordered all the generals, read the imperial edict of the court, and ordered all the generals under his command. This time, in any case, he must obey the holy order, not disobey the military order, and be bravely take the traitor to Xiaotian. .
In fact, the generals also have their own ideas in their hearts at this time. For this time, they sit and watch the decisive battle between the lonely army and the construction slave army. Although they have the idea of watching the play, at least they are all Ming army, and they are still psychologically inclined to these Fujian soldiers.
But they first heard that when Yu Xiaotian led the troops to Tianjin Wei, the court actually adopted Yang Sichang's strategy and wanted them to help Jiannu flank the flank of the family army and help Jiannu defeat the Yu family army.
At that time, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Wang Pu and other Shanxi generals felt that this matter was simply a bastard's extreme thing. If you didn't help, how could they help Jiannu fight against the family army at this time?
Even if Yu Xiaotian was scheming and disrespectful, after he arrived in Tianjin Wei, he did not make more uncontributing actions, but opened the posture to block Jiannu from leaving the customs. At least this is also a contribution to the Ming Dynasty.
How can the court let these Ming soldiers help Jiannu beat their own people? Later, for some reason, the court cancelled this decision, so that their garrison could not enter and could not help anyone. They watched the Yu family's army fight against Jiannu.
