Chapter 12 Strange

However, after capturing Tianjin Wei, Yu Jiajun suddenly stopped its action. According to the news from Yebu and Tan Ma Xizuo, he found that Yu Jiajun did not do so. Instead, after capturing Tianjin Wei, he stopped and began to build fortifications along both sides of the canal and pulled out a The posture of secondary defense.

And according to the night and other exploration, the direction of Yu's army's fortification was not aimed at the capital area, nor did it put the direction of defense in the north of the canal, but put the main force on both sides of the canal and aimed at the south direction of the canal.

At this time, Texas and Hejian Prefecture also sent emergency reports to Beijing, saying that the construction slave army had already wrapped hundreds of thousands of people and a large number of goods and livestock, and were slowly advancing along the canal towards Tianjin Wei.

People with intentions quickly lay on the map to observe, especially some officials who are familiar with the terrain around Hejianfu and Gyeonggi, those who have the conditions to get a map, or people who can build a floor plan in their minds, quickly found the problem.

Yu Xiaotian's behavior is quite strange. If he is here to rebel, Yu Xiaotian can directly lead the army to attack the capital at the fastest speed. At this time, the capital has not had time to prepare, and the deployment along Tongzhou has not been completed. Yu Xiaotian has a great opportunity to attack Beijing. Under the city.

And Jiannu has now returned from full looting and must not be interested in caring about this matter. Their purpose is already very obvious, that is, to plunder the customs. Now they are fishing full of pots, escorting the people and goods they have obtained and withdrawing outside the customs. They must have no energy and no strength to divide troops to join.

And Yu Xiaotian's rebellion should be a good thing for Jiannu. No matter who kills whom, it is a very optimistic thing for Jiannu, so they won't get a foot in it at this time.

Yu Xiaotian is always from the Ming Dynasty. His rebellion will definitely break the head with the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is successful or not, it is extremely weakened for the Ming Dynasty in Guan. They must be very happy to see such a situation, which can only create better conditions for them to enter the customs in the future.

Therefore, there is no reason for Jiannu to make branches at this time.

Similarly, if Yu Xiaotian is plotting rebellion, he should also see this. If he landed in Tianjin Wei, if he plotting rebellion, he should ignore it and contain a lot of Ming army troops while Jiannu has not yet left the customs, which is a once-in-lifetime opportunity for him.

And as long as he came to rebel, he should understand this point. It was completely unnecessary and there was no reason. After arriving at Tianjin Wei, he took down Tianjin Wei, but he did not move forward and turned into a defensive state in Tianjin Wei on the spot, blocking the way back of Jiannu Beibei.

It is completely unreasonable for him to do this now, which means that he has completely given up the advantage of sudden attack and wants to block Jiannu in Tianjin Wei area first.

It is completely unreasonable to do so. Although Yu Xiaotian is reported to have brought 30,000 to 40,000 troops this time, the number of these soldiers and horses seems to be considerable, but in fact it is not enough. Whether it is against the Ming army or against the Shangjian slave army, they are at a complete disadvantage in terms of military strength and have no advantage. It is talkable.

If Yu's army is very strong, then he probably has a little advantage in dealing with the Ming officials guarding the capital alone, but once he is ready to deal with Jiannu and Daming officials at the same time, this is less than one-tenth of the two forces.

So if Yu Xiaotian wants to rebel, it is completely unwise to do so. He chose a path of self-destruction.

Jiannu is about to leave the customs now. Looking at their marching route, it can be seen that the Jiannu army intends to pass through Tianjin Wei, then enter the territory of Jizhou Prefecture, take Xianghe or Baodi, rush out of the customs from Miyun or Zunhua, and return to the customs.

Tianjinwei has basically been sure that it is the place they must pass through. Yu Xiaotian captured Tianjinwei at this time, and Chen Bing was stuck on both sides of the Tianjin Wei Canal, which was stuck on the way to withdraw from Jiannu.

When the Jiannu army came here, there were only two choices left, either to avoid the war and not to go to Tianjin Wei. When they came, they chose to bypass the capital and choose to exit outside the customs, but it was obviously impossible to do so, because Jiannu is different now from when he came.

After nearly half a year of plunder, they have looted a lot of property and captured a large number of people and livestock.

The population they captured alone is said to be hundreds of thousands of people, with so many slaves and livestock. It is obviously impossible to carry out long-distance maneuvers like when they entered the customs. It will be very risky and take a lot of time.

So the possibility of Jiannu choosing this method is basically zero. If they don't choose to take a detour, then the only option left is to rush directly from Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei is now controlled by Yu Xiaotian. If Jiannu wants to rush through Tianjin Wei, he can only defeat the family army first. Next, the two sides will inevitably start a fierce battle in the Tianjin Wei area. For both of them, they can only win but not lose. Whoever loses the battle may lead to extinction.

If Jiannu is defeated by the Yu family army, then they will not be able to return to the customs. More than 100,000 troops will be blocked in the customs and will be consumed sooner or later.

Everyone knows the strength of Jiannu. Although after the management of the two generations of wild boar skin and Huang Taiji, they are now very strong, no matter how strong they are, the actual strength will not be very large. This time, they entered the customs and suddenly brought into the eight Mongolian flags and the Han army that defected to the enemy. The total strength exceeded 100,000, almost It's pouring out.

Once this army of more than 100,000 Jiannu is blocked in the customs, it is estimated that Jiannu will be completely sad. They will never be able to recover to their current strength in ten years, and may even be depressed and never turn over.

So Jiannu must not be defeated, and he must not dare to be defeated, but can Yu Jiajun afford to be defeated? He can't afford to lose either!

Yu Jiajun went north this time, and Yu Xiaotian brought 30,000 to 40,000 troops in one fell swoop, excluding his navy. These 30,000 to 40,000 troops were all land divisions. Everyone thought that this should be Yu Xiaotian's out. Even if he still left some troops in Fujian, there would certainly not be too many. Once he was defeated, I'm afraid There is not even a chance to escape back to Fujian, which is equivalent to beating him back to his original shape.

So Yu Jiajun can't be defeated, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

This time, everyone can't understand it. Yu Xiaotian has a complete opportunity not to fight such a battle with the Jiannu army, but why did he still choose to fight this battle?

At this time, Yu Xiaotian released several officers and soldiers of the Tianjin Guard, held a handwritten letter from him, and ordered these officers and soldiers to rush to the capital and submit this letter to the current emperor.

This letter was quickly transferred to Chongzhen. In the letter, Yu Xiaotian told Chongzhen Chen Ming. The reason why he wanted to take Tianjin Wei was that he had to use Tianjin Wei to block Jiannu from leaving the customs and vowed to defeat the Jiannu army in the Tianjin Wei area. The original defenders here could not cooperate with his actions at all. Therefore, he could only take this strategy and use force to take down Tianjin Wei for only one purpose, that is, to block the army of Jiannu from leaving the customs in Tianjin Wei.

And Yu Xiaotian gave Chongzhen a fairly detailed information, stating the amount of goods and population of the slave plunder. Although it cannot be said to be very accurate, it is roughly the same.

In the information collected through his way, Yu Xiaotian summed up the construction of slaves and looted more than 1.5 million taels of silver and tens of thousands of gold. There were more than 30,000 large livestock such as mules, horses and cattle, and tens of thousands of pigs and sheep.

In addition, there are countless kinds of silk, fine soft jewelry and antiques, which is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Jiannu abaccored more than 600,000 people from Hebei, Shandong and other places.

Yu Xiaotian said in his letter that if so many property and people were taken out of the customs by Jiannu, Jiannu will definitely increase their strength. From then on, there will no longer be a chance to eliminate Jiannu. Therefore, this time on his way to the north, he got the news and found out that Jiannu would go to Tianjin Wei out of the customs.

Therefore, he will rashly lead his troops, travel day and night on the sea, rush directly to Tianjin Wei, and rashly seize Tianjin Wei as a defense slave.

In his letter, he was guilty and knew that it was a serious crime and would certainly cause the emperor's uneasiness. However, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he was willing to risk the world's greatness and brazenly led his troops straight into Tianjin, just to defeat Jiannu in a war and solve the problem of Jiannu, the Ming Dynasty, once and for all.

Yu Xiaotian also requested in the letter that Chongzhen mobilized officers and soldiers to block several other Jiannu's possible escape from outside the customs, so as not to let Jiannu take the opportunity to slip away.

In addition, he left in a hurry and accompanied him with insufficient food. He hoped that the court could allocate part of the grain and part of the money from Tongzhou to transport them to his army by canal, otherwise his food would only be enough for half a month.

After reading Yu Xiaotian's letter, Chongzhen was full of doubts and scoffing at Xiaotian's rhetoric. He couldn't figure out why Xiaotian had to fight against Jiannu here after killing thousands of miles from Fujian to Tianjin and capturing Tianjin Wei. It seemed that Yu Xiaotian was indeed thinking about Daming. He is regarded as a great loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Yu Xiaotian's trip to the north this time was all for a fight with Jiannu. Chongzhen will not believe it. He still believes that Yu Xiaotian's trip north this time is definitely a bad intention. This time he is guarding in Tianjin to prevent Jiannu from leaving the customs, which is simply a cover.
