Chapter 87 Hong Chengchou is coming

While returning to their hometown, these rescued people also brought back the court's treatment of the family army this time and spread it unintentionally. Hearing that Yu Xiaotian was so loyal and righteous, they were treated like this by the court. People everywhere were indignant about this matter and felt that the court had done this matter. Excessive.

Immediately after they heard the letter from Yu Xiaotian telling the world that he wanted to enter the Qing Dynasty in Beijing, and pushed these recent bad things to the officials in the court, saying that they would go to Beijing to eradicate all these traitors.

Ordinary people will not think deeply. Of course, they will not understand the inside story. From the fact that they often only look at the surface of things, to put it is easy to be deceived. Only from what they know, Yu Xiaotian was forced to do such a move this time. The court also took its own fault and deserved to be beaten by the Yu family army. Entering the capital.

Therefore, the vast majority of the people in the north have a supportive attitude towards Yu Xiaotian's move. Of course, there are also some scholars who think that Yu Xiaotian's doing this is really a great rebellious move. It is an tyrant. You let the minister have to die. Even if the court is wrong, Yu Xiaotian can't be so arrogant and lead the army to attack. Beijing, so some people are opposed to Xiaotian doing this.

But on the whole, most ordinary people applaud Xiaotian's actions and believed that the reason why the situation in the Ming Dynasty was so unbearable was indeed the fault of these treacherous ministers. If Marshal Yu wanted to enter the side of the Qing Dynasty, he could return the world to a clear world, so they were eager for Xiaotian to rush into the capital and put these Only when the treacherous sloughmen were eradicated can people be greatly gratifying.

In this way, because of the problem of people's hearts, most of the local governments are also in a wait-and-see attitude towards Xiaotian's crusade against the imperial court, and have made some remarks in private about the consequences of Yu Xiaotian's doing this this time.

Of course, many officials are also watching the wind direction, because from the information they have collected, they find that the Yu family's army under Yu Xiaotian is really powerful. It is quite incredible that the 100,000 slave army was beaten to ashes and smoke in front of more than 30,000 people in the district. When was the Ming Dynasty? Is there such a soldier and horse that can fight?

But what's more incredible is that the court wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the Yu family army that had just passed the war. As a result, it did not think that the two officers and soldiers were almost destroyed by the Yu family army, who had just experienced a huge battle.

At this time, everyone was completely shocked when they heard the news. Yu Jiajun was so good at fighting, and who else could be their opponent? Next, Yu Xiaotian sent a message saying that he wanted to enter the side of the Qing Dynasty. Almost most people were not optimistic about the imperial court officials and soldiers. They thought that since Yu Jiajun was so capable of fighting, it was not necessarily crazy about attacking the capital. People talk about dreams.

What's more, they heard that the Yu family army recruited troops and horses in Tianjin Wei and Tongzhou and other places during this period, expanding a large number of soldiers, bringing the total strength to an unprecedented number of more than 100,000 people (in fact, there are not so many, only about 70,000, most of which are new barracks). Many people think that they are afraid to The weather has changed.

Nowadays, it is not difficult for Yu Xiaotian to recruit troops at all. He has just led the army to break through the army of construction slaves and save countless people. It can be said that the reputation is already at its best at this time. What's more, the area of Tokyo is now ravaged by construction slaves**. People everywhere can be said to be that people are not living. It is better than waiting to die at home. If you join the army to eat food, you can also be half full.

Therefore, people don't care whether Yu Xiaotian is a traitor or not. As long as Yu Xiaotian is in charge of the meal, then naturally someone is willing to work with him, so it didn't take long for the people and the people who heard the news from all over the country flocked to the recruitment points of the army, making the Yu family army recruit in a very short time. A large number of new recruits were raised.

Moreover, Yu's army is still the result of picking and picking. Some unsuitable defectors did not receive them at all, but sent a few catties of grain and directly returned them to their hometown. Otherwise, Yu's army could recruit more soldiers.

At this time, the court issued an order to recruit all the world's soldiers and horses to defend the king. Shandong Yan Jizu ran fast enough. As a result, he took Shandong soldiers and horses to Tongzhou. After the First World War, even Yan Jizu was captured alive by the Yu family's army. At this time, almost no one in the north dared to lead the king of Qin.

Within two days, the news of Yu's army's attack on the capital quickly spread in the north, and then the whole capital's army was completely controlled. However, together with this news, after Yu Xiaotian entered Beijing, he did not lead troops into the palace, but as he said, after entering Beijing, Yang Sichang, Gao Qiqian and others were arrested. .

In this way, some people have changed their previous thoughts, believing that Yu Xiaotian is not to usurp the throne and change the day, but really wants to clear the emperor's side and change the current pattern of the court, which makes many officials' minds begin to come to life again.

There are not many opportunities, and anyone can see that if Yu Xiaotian succeeds on the side of Qingjun this time, then in the next many years, Yu Xiaotian will definitely fall into power and become a figure above 10,000 people under the Ming Dynasty, and even his power will exceed that of Wei Zhongxian in those years. If he can hold Yu Xiaotian at this time, he can hold If it is the thigh, then maybe they can also rise to the top in the future.

So many officials who were originally preparing to go north to enter the King of Weiqin immediately stopped talking about King Qin, but began to watch the wind again.

Of course, it included the group of officers and soldiers sent by Wu Jing from Shanxi. These two thousand Shanxi officers and soldiers marched towards the Beijing division in two ways. When they learned that the Beijing division was defeated by the rebels, one was deterred by the fighting power of the rebels, and the other was that the wind direction of the world was about to change, so the soldiers and horses on both sides shrank back and found a relatively safe one. The place is stationed.

However, Yu Xiaotian's practice has undoubtedly touched the nerves of a considerable number of civilian officials. Since the establishment of the country by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Daming has been pursuing the policy of suppressing martial arts with literature for two or 300 years. Since then, military generals have seen civilian officials be demoted to three levels. Although over the years, because of the use of troops for years, the imperial court has been generous with military generals, so many years. The status has risen, but anyway, the person in charge is still a civilian.

But now suddenly, Yu Xiaotian, the general soldier of Fujian, dared to play the banner of the Qing Dynasty and lead the soldiers into the capital to kill the imperial officials. What's the matter? How can a civilian officer let such Qiu Ba ride on his head and shit?

So even if many civil officials are furious and shouting to rise up to suppress the rebellion, this kind of voice is just a little thunderstorm. These civil officials are just shouting. Of course, they know that the Yu family army under Yu Xiaotian is not easy to deal with, and the 100,000 slave army is not the opponent of the Yu family army, so they gathered together. Some miscellaneous military rabbles, even if they go to Beijing to deliver food to others.

But only one person has this courage. It is Hong Chengchou, the current governor of the three sides. Hong Chengchou has been leading troops to suppress the exiles for the imperial court over the years, and used the Shaanxi soldiers recruited in Shaanxi to train a strong soldier. He has repeatedly used troops against the exiles over the years. It is said that more wins and less defeats have actually wiped out a large number of civilian troops for the court.

Moreover, Hong Chengchou was bold and careful, and his wrist was very hard. When he obeyed Yang He's orders, but he did not agree with Yang He's claim. He dared to kill and surrender the surrendered civilian army. At least tens of thousands of civilians died in his hands over the years, so Hong Chengchou was absolutely big. In this era, there are bold and knowledgeable people among civil servants.

It is also because Hong Chengchou dared to kill and later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, destroying his reputation. In the history of later dynasties, he has never been judged as a villain.

However, in this era, Hong Chengchou is absolutely a capable minister of the Ming Dynasty so far, highly trusted by Zhen, and enjoys a high reputation among the government and the opposition.

Hong Chengchou had been chasing and suppressing the exiles such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Hui and Luo Rucai some time ago. In the past two years, several exiles have been wiped out by him. In recent years, after Yang Sichang put forward the strategy of four Zheng and six corners, local officers and soldiers began to coordinate and suppress the devied forces, making the Ming Dynasty's The situation gradually improved, and the exile army began to be gradually compressed back to Shaanxi, and gradually squeezed into the mountains and forests. There is a situation of lingering. As long as the officers and soldiers make more efforts, there is hope to wipe out these large number of civilians.

Li Zicheng had been driven away at this time. Only a few hundred people were chased by Hong Chengchou and fled to Shangluo Mountain, and Zhang Xianzhong was also driven into Sichuan. There were not many opportunities to jump in the mountains. In addition, Luo Ru was also squeezed into Shaanxi, Henan, In the mountains at the junction of Huguang and Sichuan, it is not as arrogant as before.

So Hong Chengchou felt that he could finally solve the devigrant army this time, but he didn't expect that last autumn, the slave army once again went south to break through the customs, plundered the Gyeonggi area, and went south for 2,000 miles, and went straight into the hinterland of Zhili, Shanxi and Shandong in the Ming Dynasty, causing the situation in the north suddenly deteriorated.

At that time, the court ordered him and Sun Chuanting to deal with Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other exiles as soon as possible, and led the division north to enter the capital. Hong Chengchou exerted his strength and launched a large-scale pursuit and killing of Li Zicheng and other exiles.

In the spring of 12 years, he was about to complete his success, but he heard that the court ordered him to immediately gather troops to go north to defend, because Jinan Prefecture was captured by slaves, and the whole situation in the north was extremely rotten.

So Hong Chengchou had no choice but to give up the final purge of Li Zicheng, ordered the officers and soldiers to gather towards Tongguan, and ordered Sun Chuanting to go with the army to prepare to go north of Tongguan to enter the defense.

However, before Hong Chengchou had time to lead his troops out of Tongguan, he got the news that Yu Xiaotian, the general of Fujian, suddenly led his troops north to capture Tianjin Wei, directly threatening the safety of the Beijing division.

Hong Chengchou was shocked and scolded Yu Xiaotian as a rebel. He chose to rebel at this time, so he stepped up the deployment of troops to rush out of Tongguan to the capital.

However, tens of thousands of military branches are everywhere in Shaanxi and want to gather up. With the speed of the march and the speed of material financing in this era, it is undoubtedly very difficult for Shaanxi, which is already about to be a hundred miles away. Although Hong Chengchou is anxious, officials The army could not quickly gather around Tongguan, so Hong Chengchou had to lead 20,000 Hong soldiers first, first out of Tongguan, and cross the Yellow River to the capital.

He ordered Sun Chuanting to collect the remaining soldiers and horses in Tongguan, and then rush to the capital to enter the defense. However, on the way, he heard the news that Yu Xiaotian's entry into Tianjin Wei this time was not to plot rebellion, but to risk his death to intercept the rebel army of the rebel army in Tianjin, and to fight with the Jiannu army to die in the Tianjin Wei area. War.

Hong Chengchou is a little confused. He has heard about the fact that the court has been afraid of Xiaotian in the past two years, and he also knows that the court has a plan to gather troops south to Fujian after destroying these exiles. Therefore, he has even checked the relevant blessings in advance. For the terrain, humanities and other materials in Jianyi area, people also prepared a map of Fujian, because he believed that once the court used troops for filial piety, it was likely to transfer him to preside over the overall situation, so Hong Chengchou made some preparations in advance when he was free during this period.

In addition, he also collected some information about Xiaotian's strength. He knew that Yu Xiaotian had tens of thousands of heavy troops and the strongest sailor power of the Ming Dynasty. He had great concerns about how to eliminate Yu Xiaotian.
