Chapter 200 Build slaves into the bandits
After entering September, Xiao Tianjian constantly adjusted the deployment of troops. After Luo Rucai and Li Shuanzhu conquered the Guide Mansion, they began to transfer some of Li Shuanzhu's troops to the south, so that Luo Rucai directly led some people and horses. While monitoring the Kaifeng Mansion, he formed pressure on Shandong to contain the officers and troops in this area.
Xiao Tianjian himself sat in Nanyang Mansion again and began to use troops in Dengzhou. At this time, the Xingtian Army found that in fact, Xiao Tianjian had decided to cross the Yellow River north to attack Huaiqing Mansion and Weihui Mansion. In fact, it was just a false shot, and his main purpose was to attack Huaiqing Mansion and Weihui Mansion. Apply pressure to the north, and then concentrate the troops to go south to Huguang.
This is equivalent to Xiao Tianjian synthesive the opinions of Niu Jinxing and Li Xin, but in terms of strategy, he acted according to Li Xin's proposal. After Niu Jinxing saw this, although he was a little uncomfortable in his heart, there was nothing he could do, because he also saw that although Xiao Tianjian was not a strong A self-introverted person is willing to listen to the opinions of his subordinates, but his personality is very independent. Once he makes up his mind, no one will be allowed to shake his determination.
Although Zuo Liangyu took advantage of Xing Tianjun's defense to retake Neixiang County, he was scared by Xing Tianjun after all. When he learned the news that Xiao Tianjian was once again leading heavy troops south, he immediately led his troops to withdraw to Suizhou. The Neixiang County, which had just been recovered, was quickly taken back by Xing Tianjun.
When Xiao Tianjian was in Dengzhou, although Huguang sent troops to support Dengzhou, Huguang did not have many soldiers and horses, let alone effective generals except Zuo Liangyu's troops, so the support for Dengzhou was also very limited. The two officers and soldiers sent to Dengzhou for reinforcements were very quickly. On the way, he was stopped by the cavalry of the Xingtian Army and immediately withdrew.
On September 15, Xiao Tianjian's soldiers besieged Dengzhou. It took three days to conquer Dengzhou. Since then, the passage to the south has been basically been opened by the Xingtian Army, and Xiangyang, an important town in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, has been exposed to the front of the Xingtian Army.
At the same time, Li Shuanzhu led the soldiers and horses south to cooperate with Xiao Tianjian's action. First, he conquered Chenzhou, then controlled the Jialu River, cut off the important water transportation road between Jianghuai and Henan, and also strangled the water transportation channel between Jianghuai and Shanshan, and then cut off the important water transportation channel in the south of Kaifeng. Basically, the channel to get grain from Jianghuai has been cut off.
After controlling the area of Zhoujiakou, Li Shuanzhu did not stop, continued to go south, and then quickly captured the commercial water, so that the soldiers went straight outside the city of Runingfu. Soon, he eliminated the government forces around Runingfu and began to besiege Runingfu.
At this time, Runing Mansion is no better than the last time when Xiao Tianjian sent troops to attack. At present, except for the defenders of Runing Mansion, there are no other officers. Huang Degong was defeated in Runing Mansion. After Xiao Tianjian led his troops north, he gathered a small number of remnants in the local area and returned to Luzhou again, and Sun Yingyuan Later, after losing the attack on Yuxi, he withdrew from Henan and returned to Nanjing to continue to deal with the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo in the jurisdiction of Nanzhili, which made Runing Mansion lose strong support at present.
Although the troops led by Li Shuanzhu this time were not as many as the troops led by Xiao Tianjian last time, the surrounding people came to join the army one after another. Li Shuanzhu temporarily organized them into reserve camps, temporarily used as auxiliary soldiers, and soon foreign exchange in Runingfu City. More than 30,000 people gathered, surrounded Runing Mansion firmly, and then began to launch an offensive against Runing Mansion.
Fu Ru, the governor of Runing, knows well what kind of end he will face once the Runing Mansion is lost. Today, the emperor must be angry with him, so he offered a reward in the city to recruit dead men to help defend the city. The King Chong in the city was also very afraid at this moment. He and his brother King Heyang took out a lot of silver from the house to make Help recruit dead men to defend the city for pay and bounty.
And the rich people around them, because the development of Xing Tianjun threatens their survival, have recently fled into the city of Runing Mansion. They have also brought in a lot of money and some domestic slaves, which makes the city of Runing Mansion overcrowded. These people will not easily be obedient to Xing Tianjun, so they are rewarded. Under this, Runing Mansion still gathered thousands of miscellaneous soldiers and boarded the city under the command of Fu Ruwei to assist in the defense.
After Li Shuangzhu led his troops to attack the city, the battle was very difficult, and he lost a large number of lives every day. Although the main force did not lose much, the reserve battalion of the new group suffered heavy losses. After more than ten consecutive days of attack, Runing Mansion could not be conquered. The angry Li Shuanzhu almost went to the battle in his own armor several times to lead. His subordinates attacked the city.
Later, after Xiao Tianjian learned the news, he ordered Li Shuanzhu to temporarily give up the attack on Runing Mansion, ordered him to leave a war camp, lead a large number of newly recruited troops, besiege the Runing Mansion, cut off the grain supply of Runing Mansion, and lead the department to solve several counties in the east of Runing Mansion, and then wait for the Rushing Mansion City to break the grain before attacking Runing. House.
Li Shuanzhu had no choice but to follow Xiao Tianjian's instructions and make adjustments. He led his subordinates to continuously sweep the states and counties farther around Runing Prefecture.
Throughout September, in the southern part of Henan, there were flags and flags of the Xingtian Army everywhere. Where the front of the Xingtian Army passed, the people raised their hands to welcome their arrival and cooperated with the offensive action of the Xingtian Army. They either reported the news for the Xing Tianjun or led the way for the Xing Tianjun. Some bold people simply secretly Xing Tianjun acted as an insider for the Xing Tian Army. The early lurking men secretly pulled up the team and waited for the arrival of the soldiers and horses of the Xing Tian Army. Once they waited for the main soldiers and horses of the Xing Tian Army, they would take over one after another in some Zhuangbao or county cities, making Xing Tianjun's offensive actions can be said to be as fast as bamboo. Hurry up, it's basically rare to meet a decent opponent.
Even some of the detailed work of the Xingtian Army, before the arrival of the main force of the Xingtian Army, it has led the people to attack, killed officials and seized the city, attacked Zhuangbao, and took the initiative to fight the banner of the Xingtian Army. Even without the arrival of the main force of the Xingtian Army, it controlled some counties, and then killed the enemies around these counties. The elimination of the forces has become a new control area of the Xing Tian Army.
This does not even matter. Even the officials of several counties, before the Xing Tianjun came, secretly sent people to contact the Xing Tianjun, indicating that they were willing to surrender to the Xing Tianjun. As soon as the soldiers and horses of the Xing Tianjun arrived, they immediately defected and arrested and killed the officials who opposed their surrender and threw themselves into the arms of the Xing Tianjun.
The situation in Henan has also been completely rotten. Although Xiong Wencan wants to save the situation, he suffers from the fact that he has no soldiers at hand, and the surrounding area is basically under the control of Xing Tianjun, so that his decree can't get out of the lonely city of Kaifeng Mansion at all, and can only sit in Kaifeng Mansion every day. The house sighed.
The situation in Henan is getting worse and worse day by day. The power of Xing Tianjun is growing day by day, and more and more territory is seized. All kinds of bad news can be said to fly into the capital like snowflakes every day. After Chongzhen knew it, he was not only angry but also angry, and scolded Xiong Wencan for his incompetence. In the end, he really felt that he could not explain. The order was issued to arrest Xiong Wencan and send him to the capital to discuss the crime, while the governor of Henan was replaced by the current Henan patrol according to Gao Mingheng, and let him preside over the "appeasement" of Henan.
What made Chongzhen even more angry was that Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting had already patted their chests and said that in the near future, Li Zicheng and other thieves who were active in Shaanxi would soon be wiped out. It seemed that the situation in Shaanxi was imminent, and Li Zicheng could be captured and killed immediately. However, after entering September, suddenly they There was no news, but Shangshu said that the thief was extremely cunning and refused to fly around in the mountains. They also gathered troops to chase him in the area of Shangluo. I'm afraid it will take time to capture and kill the thief.
This made Chongzhen feel that Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were simply fooling him. They said it well, but now they can't do it all of a sudden. In order to shirk the unfavorable responsibility for the punishment of the criminal army in Henan, Yang Sichang kept saying in Chongzhen's ear that the situation in Henan was rotten. It was Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting in Shaanxi. Unfavorable, if they can quickly eliminate the thieves of Li Zicheng and other activities in Shaanxi in recent years, a large number of Shaanxi troops will go out of Shaanxi, and the Xing Tianjun will not be so arrogant in Henan.
After listening to it, Chongzhen also felt that it was reasonable, but at present, he was really useless. Although he was angry and indisputable, he was not really dizzy. He listened to Yang Sichang's words and dismissed Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting for investigation. After all, although the two of them have not eliminated the thieves in the past few years, they still arrested Gao Yingxiang after all. It is controlled that Shaanxi is not occupied by thieves. There is not much credit, but at least there is still hard work.
However, this matter later came to the ears of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, which completely offended Hong and Sun, so that the two of them could hate Yang Sichang to the bone.
After September, the situation in the Central Plains was completely ruined. Chongzhen can be said to be sad all day long. He wanted to send Yang Sichang to Henan to preside over the suppressing of Xing Tianjun. At the same time, Hong Chengchou simply gave up Li Zicheng and led his troops into Henan to strengthen the army to suppress Xing Tianjun, but it was at this time. Wait, Emperor Taiji, a slave outside the customs, once again waved his division to break through the customs and entered the bandits. This time, Huang Taiji mobilized more than 100,000 troops, and the troops entered the customs in two ways. The coming was extremely fierce. On September 22, he left the customs, the general, Wu Guojun, was drunk and immediately led the army to escape. Wu Aheng, the governor of Ji Liao, led the rest of the army and did not retreat. Zheng Xizhao, the supervisor, was on the battle. He escaped, and Wu Aheng and the general Lu Zongwen were defeated. Lu Zongwen was killed on the spot. Wu Aheng was captured but refused to surrender. He also scolded Huang Taiji and was killed after his legs were cut off.
After the Jiannu army entered the customs, it went straight to the capital, which caused a great earthquake in the capital. It also made Chongzhen have to temporarily let go of the matter of the Xing Tianjun and worry about the Jiannu who broke through the customs this time.
At the end of September, the Beijing Division announced martial law, but when the officials and soldiers were going to enter the army, they chose to escape one after another. Basically, no one led the soldiers to give the Jiannu army any strong resistance, so that these eastern soldiers began to Beijing as if they had entered no one. From the north of the division, the front of the army reached Beijing. Chongzhen was really helpless. He had to listen to Yang Sichang's suggestion and issued an order to transfer Lu Xiang, the governor of Xuanda, to the guard. At the same time, Yang Guozhu, the general of Xuanfu, Wang Pu, the general of Datong, and the deputy generals of Shanxi, Hu Dawei and Xu Dingguo led 30,000 troops out of Shanxi Xuanda to enter the capital.
At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the governor was appointed as a guard and horse, and was responsible for defending the land of the capital. However, Chongzhen also knew that these soldiers and horses of Xuanda and Shanxi brought by Lu Xiangsheng could not stop the construction of the slave army, so he made an order to quickly solve Li Zicheng and then lead the Shaanxi soldiers to the guard. At the same time, Hong Chengchou was transferred to the new governor of Jiliao, replacing the dead Wu Aheng and sitting in the area of Jiliao.
The whole government and the opposition were shocked by this sudden change. All kinds of officers and soldiers began to act one after another, and Lu Xiangsheng also led his troops to the capital.
