Chapter 88 Angry

Yu Xiaotian has been operating in Fujian for more than ten years, and his power has long been deeply rooted. The imperial army entered Fujian to fight against it. He waited for work and fought at home, while the Fujian officials and soldiers fought in different places and away. Fujian has a large number of mountains, hills and rivers. The terrain is very complex and is not suitable for large-scale military use. It is quite difficult to uproot Yu Xiaotian from Fujian,

Moreover, the soldiers and horses under Yu Xiaotian's command are not ordinary bandits. The soldiers and horses under his command are also nominally official officers and soldiers, with perfect organization. It is said that Yu Jiajun is still quite fierce. No matter who he fights over the years, he has never suffered a big defeat. It is said that Yu's army is equipped with a large number of firearms and makes good use of firearms. Hong Chengchou is quite worried about the enemy's victory.

At this time, Hong Chengchou also regarded Yu Xiaotian as the biggest hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty. He believed that Yu Xiaotian must have a disrespectful heart and should indeed get rid of him as soon as possible.

So when he heard that Yu Xiaotian brazenly went north to invade Tianjin Wei, his first reaction was that he wanted to rebel and take advantage of the chaos to attack the capital to usurp the country.

However, when he heard that Yu Xiaotian's troops stationed in Tianjin Wei no longer approached the capital, but stopped the army retreating to the customs and announced that he would fight to the death, Hong Chengchou was really confused.

Since Yu Xiaotian is a traitor, there is no reason for him to do so! If he fights to the death with Jiannu, no matter how powerful his soldiers and horses are, he can really defeat the Jiannu army. At that time, he will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800, and he will completely lose his combat power. At that time, he will lead his troops alone in Tianjin Wei and lose his combat effectiveness. At that time, he will become the flesh of the imperial court and be slaughtered by the court at will. Cut it.

And his military strength is not much. He has a large army of 100,000 slaves, but he only has 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses. There is no reason to defeat such an arrogant army of slaves. The possibility of winning is negligible.

And Yu Xiaotian shouted injustice this time for Lu Xiangsheng, who died unjustly in the giant deer, criticizing Yang Sichang, Gao Qiqian, Chen Xinjia, Liu Yuliang and others as the culprits who led to Lu Xiangsheng's unjust death.

Hong Chengchou has a strong good impression of Xiaotian, because Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng used to be a cooperative relationship, and the private relationship between the two is quite good.

A few years ago, the court ordered Lu Xiangsheng to be promoted to governor of five provinces and cooperate with him to suppress the civilian army. Lu Xiangsheng was a civilian, but he was a genius, good at controlling troops, extremely strict, with a strong personality charm, very good at fighting and brave, which was highly admired by Hong Chengchou.

Later, Lu Xiangsheng was transferred to Xuanda as the governor of Xuanda. Although he no longer cooperated with Hong Chengchou, the two still had private messages to discuss some methods on how to clean up the exiled civilian army. Lu Xiangsheng proposed many good methods, and Hong Chengchou consciously benefited a lot.

This time he heard that Lu Xiangsheng died in the battle. Hong Chengchou was also very sad and angry, because he also heard more or less. The court wanted to negotiate peace. Yang Sichang saw the sacred meaning and made peace, secretly restricted Lu Xiangsheng's power.

He knows Lu Xiangsheng's character very well. Lu Xiangsheng will definitely fight against this time as the governor of soldiers and horses, so he and Yang Sichang are incompatible in this matter. Yang Sichang, as the first and auxiliary minister of power in the government and the opposition, will definitely put a hurt on Lu Xiangsheng, but he didn't expect Yang Sichang and others to be so cruel this time. , it will force Lu Xiangsheng to death.

Hong Chengchou is very angry about this, but he has no choice. Now he hears Yu Xiaotian complaining about Lu Xiangsheng's injustice and angrily scolding Yang Sichang and others for being shameless, which makes Hong Chengchou feel quite relieved. He believes that although Yu Xiaotian, Qiu Ba, acts obediently, he is still quite bloody. Sex, dare to speak righteously, and dare to directly scold Yang Sichang and other court bosses.

So after Hong Chengchou crossed the Yellow River, he stopped temporarily when he went to Weihuifu. First, he looked at the wind direction and saw the next end of Yu Xiaotian. In addition, he also waited for the soldiers and horses led by Sun Chuanting.

However, waiting for something to happen, the next series of news confused Hong Chengchou. First, Yu Xiaotian led the army to defeat 100,000 troops of Jiannu and killed Dorgun, the chieftain of Jiannu. Then the court sent troops to try to destroy Yu Xiaotian, but he was beaten by Yu Xiaotian, and even Wu Xiang was Yu Xiaotian's men were killed on the spot.

Then Yu Xiaotian angrily announced that he was going to enter the side of the Qing Dynasty and led the troops to attack the capital division. At this time, Hong Chengchou was very scared. He could not imagine that the soldiers and horses under Yu Xiaotian's command were so fierce that the Jiannu army was not their opponents. After killed the Jiannu army, he actually had spared to solve the two elites of the imperial court. Soldier, there is still room left to launch an attack on the Beijing Division.

At this time, he did not dare to neglect, and quickly urged Sun Chuanting to lead the follow-up Shaanxi troops to catch up, and then gathered troops to the King of Beijing.

But as soon as he arrived at Shunde Mansion and had not yet entered Zhending Mansion, he learned that Yu Xiaotian actually led the army to conquer the capital division and controlled the capital division. This time, Hong Chengchou almost fainted.

He wondered why Xiaotian's troops were so good at fighting and fought so many beautiful battles one after another. He knew the defense of the capital of the Beijing Division. As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the capital of the capital was complete with strong defense facilities, and there were many officers and soldiers stationed there. In addition, the officers and soldiers gathered around the Gyeonggi area had 100,000 and 80,000 soldiers. Yu Xiaotian's troops are insufficient. It is reasonable that even if his men are tens of thousands of enemies, he may not be able to capture the capital so easily, but he still did it.

Since the capital has been broken, it doesn't make much sense for Hong Chengchou to continue to lead troops to the capital. If Yu Xiaotian is plotting rebellion this time, then the emperor is either killed by him or captured by him. Next, the Ming Dynasty has no emperor and becomes a plate of scattered sand. He is the third Governor of Border China, it's time to think about what to do next.

So Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting stopped in Shunde Mansion and began to discuss what to do next. Should they continue to go north to fight for thieves or return to Shaanxi to defend it? If Yu Xiaotian announced their accession to the throne, should they defect to Xiaotian or set up a new master and restore the Ming Dynasty?

In this way, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting's headquarters dragged around Shunde Mansion for a long time.

Then Hong Chengchou heard the latest news from the capital. When Yu Xiaotian entered Beijing this time, he did not attack the palace and killed the emperor. He only controlled the capital and arrested a group of court officials in the capital. On the whole, he responded to his slogan to be on the side of the side of the emperor, and did not harm the current emperor.

But everyone knows that even if Yu Xiaotian does not have the idea of usuring the country and self-reliance this time, I'm afraid he has the intention to take the emperor to make the princes. If he succeeds next, Yu Xiaotian will definitely have power.

Hong Chengchou did not agree to this. As a civil official, how could he be driven by a general like Yu Xiaotian? Even if Yang Sichang, Chen Xinjia, Liu Yuliang and others deserve to die, they should not be Yu Xiaotian to deal with them. This is a standard act of great rebellion. Let such a martial artist control Country, how should they let these civil servants deal with themselves?

So after consultation with Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting thought that since Yu Xiaotian did not intend to usurp the country and become independent, the emperor should not be in danger, but was placed under house arrest by Yu Thieves. If they want to change this situation, they must continue to march into the army and rush to the capital to defeat the rebels and rescuate the rebels. The emperor has the power to return to the emperor, so the Ming Dynasty is still the previous Ming Dynasty.

After agreeing on this matter, Hong Chengchou immediately led his troops to the north again and rushed to the capital, and ordered the 10,000 Shanxi officers who had been temporarily stationed in the territory of Baoding Prefecture from Shanxi Province, which was also under his command and asked Baoding Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture and other provinces to provide grain support for the army. He I want to enter Beijing to calm the chaos.

In this way, Hong Chengchou gathered more than 50,000 officers and soldiers under his command as the main force and rushed to the capital.

After Yu Xiaotian persuaded Chongzhen to hand over the great power of the seal, he was very angry and learned that Hong Chengchou had arrived in Baoding Prefecture and would enter Shuntian Prefecture in the near future. He knew that this army and horse led by Hong Chengchou was probably the greatest threat to him in the north at present.

If you want to completely break Chongzhen's fantasy, then you can only knock down Hong Chengchou, the last new force in the north of the Ming Dynasty except for the Guanning army, so that Chongzhen has no more promising power. Next, Chongzhen may be obedient and hand over power and become a false king according to his will.

So he immediately ordered Yu Zhenshan on the side of Tianjin Wei to hand over the defense of Tianjin Wei to his men, while Yu Zhenshan led five new barracks and a new artillery battalion to the capital.

The original main force of the Yu family's army in the capital division pulled out the second, fourth and seventh brigades, plus an independent artillery battalion, and handed them over to Meng Fei's command, so that Meng Fei led the troops and rushed to Liangxiang and Fangshan areas for defense. Hong Chengchou's troops did not come. As long as he dared to come, he ordered Meng Fei to fight to death.

This time Yu Xiaotian was angry. The consequences of his anger were very serious and could only be borne by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting.

At the end of April, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting finally led 50,000 officers and entered the territory of Shuntianfu, and then the strikers of the two sides began to engage.

Over the years, Hong Chengchou's Hong soldiers have followed Hong Chengchou to fight in the south and north. Among them, there are really some guys who can fight, and these guys are all old fried dough sticks and have a lot of combat experience. In addition to being brave, they are also quite cunning.

Although they were only forwards, these generals under Hong Chengchou were still quite fierce. After the small group of Yu's army confronted them, the two sides immediately killed each other.

I will no longer describe the process in detail. On the open terrain, with the firepower of the family army, even if Hong Chengchou's Hong soldiers can fight, no matter how powerful they are, they have always been a completely old-fashioned army. In the face of the comprehensive advanced Yu family army with firearms, they can't adapt to this new tactic at all.

So the vanguard under Hong Chengchou's contact battle suffered a big depression and fled back to Hong Chengchou's main force. At this time, Hong Chengchou had learned that there were rebels in front of him to stop them from going to Beijing, so he also led the troops to temporarily settle down in the Fangshan area.
