Chapter 15 Forced Out
How could Chongzhen figure out why he believed in Yang Sichang so before, let such a bastard stay with him, trusted him and let him be the first assistant. As a result, this guy was so virtuous.
As a result, Yang Sichang had just gone back to arrange what Chongzhen ordered on that day. He didn't bring up his rice bowl at night. A group of brocade guards rushed into his house with the imperial edict, took Yang Sichang on the spot and locked him back in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Chongzhen issued an order to dismiss Yang Sichang as a minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies and a scholar of Dongge University, and handed him over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for conviction.
Yang Sichang's official career will come to an end at this time, which is something that no one could have thought of a few months ago.
Therefore, in many cases, folk public opinion can actually influence many things. Yu Xiaotian knows this better than anyone else, so over the years, he has invested a lot of money to establish his intelligence network in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and also planted a nail in various places.
These detailed works arranged before this time finally played an extremely important role. They not only successfully collected a large amount of information, but also became the mouthpiece of Xiaotian at the critical moment. When Xiaotian needed it, they spread rumors or created public opinion on behalf of Xiaotian.
In the past, many secrets of the Ming court have now been used by Yu Xiaotian to use these detailed works scattered all over the world as his mouthpiece and spread them widely. It is unimaginable that rumors spread so fast that bad things spread thousands of miles away. This sentence is really reasonable.
When he went north this time, he had already started this public opinion machine. Through these tongues scattered everywhere, he spread out the things he wanted the Ming people to know one by one, and finally uncovered Yang Sichang's hypocrisy, making Yang Sichang completely discredited in just a few months. , and ended up being arrested by the dismissal officer.
While Yang Sichang was overturned by Yu Xiaotian's public opinion machine in the capital, Yu Jiajun of Tianjin Wei finally ushered in their biggest test.
The army of more than 100,000 slaves, wrapped in hundreds of thousands of people, rolled towards Tianjin Wei. Because they were surrounded by a large number of captured people, the speed of the march was not very fast, and under the cold, the people could not walk at all. Even if they kept waving horse whips and beating those people, they could not It increased the speed of their march too much.
So they set out from Jinan and embarked on the road back to Guangai. They walked for more than a month and traveled less than 30 miles a day. Even so, it led to a large number of captive people on the way back.
After entering the Hejian Mansion, the slave chief Dorgan and Yue Tuo and others continued to discharge the crusman, that is, the scouts and squad of cavalry, dozens of miles or even a hundred miles away for reconnaissance.
When they arrived at Hejianfu, the rider in front of them discovered a very shocking news. Daming's army, with a strength of 30,000 to 40,000 people, suddenly took the sea, landed at Dagukou, and quickly entered the Tianjin Wei area, controlling dozens of miles around Tianjin Wei. Shi also controlled their way back to the north on both sides of the canal and were firmly stuck on their way back north.
At the same time, the riding also detected that after the Ming army landed at Dagukou and entered Tianjin Wei, the activities of the Daming Jingshi suddenly became frequent. A large number of officers and soldiers began to be transferred from the periphery of the capital to the east of the capital and stationed in Tongzhou, Xianghe and Baoding. , Wuqing, Dong'an and other places have completely blocked the way for the army of construction slaves to go out of customs.
Dorgo, Dudu and other slave chiefs were shocked when they heard the capital and immediately sent people to explore again. Soon, they captured some officers and soldiers and learned more information.
This Ming army suddenly landed in Tianjin Wei and controlled Tianjin Wei and the Daming army on both sides of the canal. In fact, it was not the division of King Qin who came to the imperial edict, but the general of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty, who led the troops north to enter the Gyeonggi area without authorization.
According to Yu Xiaotian, this time he went north with the intention of not being a minister, and it seemed that he intended to take advantage of them to take advantage of their entry and plunder to beat the Yellow Dragon directly to the Ming Dynasty and want to rebel against him.
Dolgong and others were a little confused as soon as they heard it. Fujian is an unreachable place in the eyes of their slaves. It can't be any further. It is at least nearly ten thousand miles away from Beijing. Even if the general soldier surnamed Yu has the intention to rebel, it is impossible to take a boat from Fujian and directly kill Beijing in the Ming Dynasty. Let's rebel!
However, the captives of the Ming officers and soldiers who were captured in this matter said that they had noses and eyes and a determined look, which made people have to believe that it was true.
Yu Xiaotian, the general soldier of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty, really took the sea all the way to Tianjin Wei without being ordered, and landed in Tianjin. This should not be wrong.
How can these Jiannu deal with Daming as adults and have no understanding of Daming's system? Therefore, they know very well that such a general's unauthorized expedition without an edict is simply a felony of destroying the family, and ordinary people absolutely dare not do so.
The person who does this is either extremely loyal and has completely put his life and death out of it. It can be said that he is completely crazy to do such a shocking thing.
Or this person is indeed disrespectful and wants to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to rebel.
The previous article certainly doesn't make sense, because it is said that Yu Xiaotian was not from an orthodox Ming army general. In his early years, he was a sea bandit active along the coast of Fujian in southern Daming. At the end of the Apocalypse, he was recruited by the Ming Dynasty and became a general of the Ming Dynasty.
If this kind of person says that he is so loyal that he will brazenly rise up for the Ming Dynasty and go thousands of miles to help the king of Beijing, and he still does so without an edict, he will not believe it.
And it can be sure that Yu Xiaotian should definitely not be crazy, so they quickly recruited two Zhixian who knew more about the court on the way to ask about Yu Xiaotian.
As a result, they got a clearer news, that Yu Xiaotian, who has held a lot of self-respect in Fujian, expanded his territory strength, and flew to the extreme. He became the king of Fujian. No one can control this person. He has long been afraid of the imperial court. If the court hadn't been for the construction of slavery this time. Guan, it is estimated that he will soon mobilize heavy troops to go south to launch an expedition against this surname Yu.
Yu Xiaotian is a scheming person. He can't be called a loyal minister at all. He is completely a local warlord, so this time he suddenly raised his troops to the north. He will definitely not be a king of Qin. Maybe he may indeed be rebellious.
But if he is plotting rebellion, it doesn't seem to make sense. How can this guy rebel? How can he let go of his old nest in Fujian, but he has to take tens of thousands of soldiers and horses thousands of miles and directly kill the Ming Jingshi to plot against it? This is completely counterintuitive!
So Dorgan's group of slave chieftains were confused by Yu Xiaotian's move, and it was not clear what Yu Xiaotian was thinking for a while.
But one thing is certain. After Yu Xiaotian led his troops to land in Tianjin Wei this time, Daming suddenly mobilized the officers and soldiers around the Beijing Division and gathered towards the east of the Beijing Division. It should not be to stop their construction slave army from leaving the customs. It must be to prevent Yu Xiaotian's troops from sneaking attack on the Beijing Division.
Then it's much easier to say. No matter what nerve Yu Xiaotian is, suddenly landing in Tianjin Wei with a large army will not be aimless. There must be some plots. It is reasonable for the Ming court to be afraid of him.
But at present, there is a big problem that Dorgan and others need to face, that is, Yu Xiaotian's sudden appearance of soldiers and captured Tianjin Wei, which happened to be stuck on the only way for them to return to the north. According to their original plan, this time they went north and went north along the canal. They must Only by passing through Tianjin Wei can you enter Jizhou Prefecture and finally choose a place to rush out of the customs.
However, Yu Xiaotian's appearance broke their original plan and stuck their way out of the customs.
And the problem is that Yu Xiaotian is not only stuck in Tianjin Wei, which is the only way they must go through, but also attracted Daming to transfer a large number of officers and soldiers to the east of Beijing. Even if they bypass Tianjin Wei, they will encounter a large number of Daming officers and soldiers.
Now they have gone to Hejian Mansion, and it's too late to take a detour even now, and they are now different from the situation when they came. They returned north with a lot of goods. In addition, they are wrapped in a large number of captured births and livestock. Hundreds of thousands of people want to change their route and bypass the west of Beijing. It is completely unrealistic for Beijing to return to the customs.
In this way, their road back to the north has increased by thousands of miles, and it is simply an impossible task to walk so far with hundreds of thousands of prisoners.
Thinking of this, Dorgeun made up his mind and made up his mind, but the plan remained unchanged. He rushed directly to Tianjin Wei, rushed into Jizhou Prefecture according to the original plan, and then left the customs.
They have thought about it. They have fought countless battles with the army of the Ming Dynasty for so many years. They know what the level of the Ming army is like than anyone else. Although they have also heard rumors that the Yu family army is said to be quite powerful. In the fifth year of Chongzhen, he was ordered to go north and settled down in the area of Denglai. Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng's rebellion.
In addition, in the south, no one can deal with this, and rarely encounter defeats.
But what can this do? In the eyes of Dorge and others, the Yu family army is still the army of the Ming Dynasty. When did they build slaves to be more afraid of the army of the Ming Dynasty? What's more, now their main force is all in, with a force of nearly 100,000, which is only more than 30,000 people. They are afraid of it!
This is very difficult for Yu Jiajun's behavior this time. Since they wanted to rebel, they stopped at Tianjin Wei and pulled out a posture to block their Qing army.
If the Qing army led by Dorge and others wants to get out of the customs, they must rush through Tianjin Wei, and there will definitely be a battle between them. Unless Yu's army deliberately makes way and let them pass, this battle will be inevitable.
