On April 15, the 46th year of Wanli, the imperial court personally enshrined the Zheng Erpin Minister, the Dragon and Tiger General, and the most powerful and unruly leader of the Jianzhou Jurchen Domain, Jin Yingming Khan Nurhachi, who was the most powerful and unruly in the mountains of Liaodong, sued the sky with the "Seven Great Hatreds", and took the opportunity of opening the horse market to openly rebel and led tens of thousands of rebels to attack Fushun City.

The officers and soldiers were caught off guard, and the Fushun chief general Li Yongfang and the Chinese army Zhao Yihe turned their backs on the grace of the imperial court and shamelessly surrendered to the enemy. The imperial court officials Qianzong Wang Mingyin, the general Wang Xuedao, Tang Mingshun and others led their subordinates to fight bravely, but they all died under the iron hooves of the rebels.

The rebels in Jianzhou immediately ransacked the whole city, and more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians in Fushun City became the ghosts of the rebels, and the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians were all plundered. In addition, the two cities of Dongzhoubao and Magendan were also captured by the rebels and wantonly looted.

The city of Fushun fell, and Shenyang shook.

On April 20, Guangning Town's general Zhang Chengyin, the general of Liaodong, ordered to gather elite border troops from all walks of life, and the troops were divided into five routes to rush to Fushun. As a result, the rebel feudal clan of Jianzhou colluded with the Mongolian Tatar Zaisai, Braised Rabbit, Fried Flower and other departments as foreign aid, and sent his son Daishan and Huang Taiji to ambush Fushun outside the city, and Chahar Lindan Khan also took advantage of the fire to rob. Zhang Chengyin's more than 10,000 Liaodong elites were in a dilemma and were forced to be stationed in separate camps, but they were surrounded by the superior forces of the rebels.

The officers and soldiers of the two sides fought for a day and were finally outnumbered, and the whole army was annihilated under the city of Fushun, more than half of the more than 10,000 people were killed, and the rest were scattered. More than 50 members of the town's commander-in-chief, Zhang Chengyin, deputy generals, staff generals, guerrillas, thousand generals, and general commanders were martyred.

The elite officers and soldiers who once shocked Liaodong were almost uprooted by the Jianzhou rebels in this battle.

After the war, Nurhachi had 9,000 horses and 7,000 pieces of armor, and his power was great. More than 100 Hermes-Epitek officials were released, and his "Seven Hatreds" message was circulated everywhere. He also gave a large amount of money to the Mongolian Naiman and Fried Flowers, and invited them to plunder Liaodong together.

And tens of thousands of cavalry of the Jianzhou Jurchens were even more out of their nests, spreading hundreds of miles along the banks of the Hetu River and the Magendan River, galloping back and forth like a comb, burning villages and plundering villages. The strength of the Ming army's various forts was insufficient, and most of them were newly defeated, and almost all the officials were killed in battle, so that no one dared to go to war, and they sat back and watched the Jianzhou rebels show off their might outside the city and burn and kill.

On the 26th, the rebel feudal clan of Jianzhou gathered a large number of cellar valleys in Fushun and other places, demolished the city wall of Fushun, and transported all the plundered goods and livestock with the army to the capital Hetuala Laozhai, on the one hand, to strictly prevent waiting for the imperial court to attack. On the other hand, small groups of rangers were sent out to raid forts and platforms in various places to test the movements of officers and soldiers.

The Zhutai forts of Fushun, Dongzhou, and Magendan fell, and Liaodong suffered heavy losses to the military, civilians, and property. Within five days, the elite division of Liaodong, the reinforcements of Guangning, were annihilated by Jianyu. When the news reached Jingshi, the imperial court was shocked, and there was a panic inside and outside the capital.

Now the imperial court has decreed that Li Rubai, the former governor of Ningxia, the right governor, will be sealed by the original official to guard Liaodong; The Ministry of War named Yang Hao, the squire of the Ministry of War, to serve as the economic strategy of Liaodong.

The former chief military officer Jun Song was used to be stationed in Shanhaiguan with his original position. He Shixian, a general of Yizhou, was transferred to be in charge of the affairs of the deputy general army of Liaoyang. Yang Yuwei was promoted to Shenyang guerrilla. Prepare Zheng Guoliang, and take charge of Tieling with the title of secretary of the capital.

He also summoned the governor Ji Liao and Wang Keshou to go out of the customs first to unify the overall situation of the town. Ordered the governor of Shuntianfu to move to Shanhaiguan. The governor of Baoding Prefecture moved to Yizhou.

Wang Guodong, the former chief military officer, was used to guard the Yongguan and Changping places with the original town.

The chief military officers Liu Wei and Chai Guozhu were recruited to Beijing to listen to the investigation.

No one thought that the war would start so suddenly......

In the Qinghe Mansion, after listening to what Zou Chuxian said, they were all stunned. Even Yue Xiang was no exception, although he had known that this was the result for a long time, but now that he had personally experienced these things, the horror and shock were really difficult to describe with pen and ink.

"Oh my God, this ...... Is this Jianzhou barbarian really reversed? Ma Gong's face turned pale, and he seemed to stutter a little when he spoke.

Zhang Zhenshuai ...... Martyred? How can this be? Our Qinghe is so close to Jianzhou, are they going to come over to fight us after they finish fighting Fushun? Someone was almost unable to stand, Dong Mingchuan's face was also pale, but he recovered faster than everyone else, waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be afraid, we are not better than Fushun here, Qinghe City has deep walls, many soldiers and generals, and there are tiger generals like Zou Junmen to guard it, even if the Jianzhou barbarians come, don't be afraid." Let's kill one by one, and kill one by two! ”

"Exactly! What kind of virtue does the Jianzhou barbarian have, how can he dare to win Longwangshu? I expect that after Jiannu killed and plundered Fushun, he would have to retreat back to his lair to prevent the imperial army from encircling and suppressing it, and at this moment he must be cautious and dare not make a big move easily. Trapped Fushun and destroyed the city and returned to the division, and announced what seven hatreds are proof, otherwise if you want to beat us Qinghe at the beginning of the victory to come in one go, wouldn't it be better, now there has been no movement these days, which shows that Jiannu is afraid that the court will ask for guilt, so he announced what seven hatreds to show his grievances and deceive the court. As long as the imperial court arrives with a sweeping army from all walks of life, the rebel clan will not be able to withstand the overwhelming power of the heavens, and there will be no time to invade our Qinghe. ”

Yue Xiang's words were reasonable, and everyone's faces were slightly better. Zou Chuxian nodded slightly and took out a piece of parchment.

"Come on, come on, Qiwen appreciates it, this is the 'Seven Hatreds' proclamation issued by Na Jiannu, everyone look at what he wrote." Although Zou Chuxian's face was heavy, he was not afraid, and took out the proclamation and handed it to everyone to circulate. He was a typical Qiu Ba Lao and coarse, with little literacy, so he asked Yue Xiang to help him read it.

Yue Xiang read it from beginning to end, and finally sneered: "Except for the first officer and soldier who accidentally killed his grandfather, the rest are trivial matters. Besides, how many people he has killed in battles over the years, how many other people's parents and wives have died under his knife! I think he is deliberately rebelling, deliberately releasing the Seven Hatreds to deceive the public, so that the world thinks that the court owes him, and he has no choice but to rebel. ”

"It is worthy of being the first man in our Qinghe City who is both civil and military, and Ziyi's vision is really unique. Now that the imperial court has dispatched all kinds of good generals into Liao, it will soon be killed by a large army, or it will be wiped out in a few days. Zou Chuxian laughed dryly twice and patted Yue Xiang's shoulder to show affection.

Is it? Yue Xiang bowed respectfully on his face, but he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. The memory of Liaodong in his mind is more familiar only from the Ningyuan era when the Ming army raised its eyebrows seven years later, and the tragic history of defeat and defeat and humiliation of the country before was deliberately ignored, but he vaguely remembered that the Ming army's large-scale attack was in March, and it was already May.

So let's say next year, now the generals transferred from all walks of life are already in place, but from May this year to March next year, for such a long time of nearly a year, why did the imperial court delay sending troops to attack? What is the reason? Was there any battle between Mingjin during this time? Did Nurhachi come to fight the city? Is the city safe?

Yue Xiang didn't think that the Qinghe city he was in could survive from Nurhachi's clutches, because as far as he knew, the Jurchen soldiers had completely annexed the entire Liaodong before the sixth year of the Apocalypse. Since it is complete, then this city is certainly no exception. But he wanted to know when the city fell.

He tried his best to think about it, but he just couldn't remember. It is no wonder that the history of his interest in Liaodong only started after Ning Yuan, and he had never been carefully understood before.

As a result, now he knows what it means to use a book.

"My lord, I don't know what to do with me? Could it be that the army is about to pull out the camp in the near future, and we must wait for the army to receive food and grass? This is within my share of responsibility, and adults don't have to worry about it. Dong Mingchuan Shili asked, now that the situation is urgent, everyone has changed the relaxed and carefree appearance of the hippie smiling face just now, and they all feel that it may be related to the situation in front of them.

"Oh...... All of you are people who have read the books of sages and have made meritorious contributions, and they should know the truth of being loyal to the king and serving the country when the country is in trouble. Now the Jianyu rebels, offending the power of heaven. The court decided to plough the court to sweep the cave to destroy this court food, and now the saint has announced to the world that anyone who can cut off Nurhachi's head to offer will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and given a hereditary title. ”

Dong Mingchuan and Yue Xiang saw that Zou Chuxian said such a thing thoughtlessly, and they didn't understand what it meant? What does it have to do with us to cut off Nurhachi's head and offer it? A thousand taels of silver is a huge amount of money to ordinary people, but no one present can see it. Hereditary titles may be tempting, but life is more important.

In the past ten years, Nurhachi has been fighting in the east and west, killing people like hemp, enemies are everywhere, and the number of people in Liaodong who want his life is incalculable. If it was so easy to take someone's head, he wouldn't be alive today. Not to mention that now he has become a full-fledged climate, and his command is even more fierce. Unless heroes like Lu Bu and Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms who can take the rank of general in the Ten Thousand Horse Army are reborn, it may be difficult to kill him.

Yue Xiang was even more strange, it was the first time he heard the emperor's announcement, he originally thought that it would be as long as the Xinhua News Agency editorial, but he didn't expect it to be so simple. Is that all? Now it is a large-scale rebellion of more than 100,000 people, a catastrophe that can overturn the world, and Emperor Shenzong is such a proclamation that can be dismissed with one sentence? Do you think you can solve this problem for a thousand taels of silver?

What do you send to beg for food?

From this announcement, Yue Xiang felt an attitude of indifference. Emperor Shenzong, the notorious lazy and faint monarch in history, didn't care about the situation in Liaodong, he didn't want to take care of things, all he cared about was how much silver his inner treasury could accumulate.

Killing a talent of Nurhachi's level will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver, which shows his stingy face and ridiculous thoughts.

Why can such a faint monarch sit on the throne for so long? After more than 40 years, no matter what is, no one in the DPRK thinks about a coup d'état to get him out of power? Why didn't he care? He doesn't want to care about his country? Then what kind of emperor are you, you can't lay eggs!

And what do you mean by this Zou Chuxian? Do you want me to take such a risk?

The corners of Yue Xiang's mouth overflowed with a sneer, and he didn't speak. Dong Mingchuan said tentatively: "Isn't the military gate trying to recruit one or two brave men to assassinate Jianyu? I'm afraid it's not easy to succeed. With all due respect, there is a large army guarding the entry and exit of Jianyu, even if it is our Ziyi who is the first in Qinghe Wuyong, I am afraid that it is an egg hitting a stone to provoke a murderous disaster, and it has nothing to do with major events. ”

Dong Mingchuan's family surnamed Dong is a big clan in Liaodong and has a lot of power, so he dares to speak out about this kind of absurd remarks. He was also quite dissatisfied with this announcement, the emperor of Liaodong Tiangao was far away, and the warlords had been in business for decades, and the people here could not talk about any stubborn foolish loyalty to the emperor who was far away in Beijing, and the people of the Northeast were straightforward and bold, and they liked to speak directly if they were unhappy.

Zou Chuxian smiled bitterly: "I know what my nephew said, but in fact, I am just a person who uploads and distributes it, so it is okay to ignore this edict." It's just that the edict from the Governor of Guangning Yamen has a great relationship with you and others. ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"The imperial court ordered that all the students and talented people in the east and west of the Liaohe River should temporarily stop the imperial examination, and let you organize your own righteous brigades, and those who have made meritorious contributions can be given the name of the department exceptionally. All the students in Qinghe City are all of you, this is a wealth that fell from the sky, you have a great cause, and it is not difficult to pull up the No. 10 volunteers. ”

"Groups of volunteers?" Immediately, there was another commotion. Yue Xiang was surprised, there was really everything in these years. I have never heard of such a thing in the Ming Dynasty. Isn't this similar to the group training at the end of the Qing Dynasty? At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was also done by the central court of the Han Dynasty, and as a result, a bunch of warlords were created and the whole country was torn apart.

What does this mean? Could it be that the imperial court ......

The panic and uneasiness in Yue Xiang's heart increased greatly, and Shi Li asked, "Junmen, I don't know what this righteous brigade is talking about?" ”

"The edict clearly states that anyone who can lead four or five hundred people will be appointed as deputy generals, staff generals, guerrillas, and so on. Those who bring up two or three hundred shall be appointed to the rank of capital secretary. The existing sergeants of the forts, who have been holding on for a month, shall be recorded as a great victory. If you stick to it for half a month, you will remember it once. Stick to the five days of remembering Xiaojie once. After you go back, you can organize people quickly, everyone is a villager in Qinghe, and at this time of critical survival, we should work together to protect Qinghe from the poison of rebellion. As long as the team can be pulled up, the seal will be there on the same day. ”

Zou Chuxian said very sincerely, Qinghe City is located on the main road to guard Jianzhou into Liaoyang, so there are more garrisons than other places, but there are more than 4,000 people in total, plus the strong men in the city and the families of various families, there are about 3,000 people.

The barbarians of Jianzhou have always regarded Qinghe and Fushun as thorns in the flesh, and now that Fushun is finished, maybe it will be Qinghe's turn next, and naturally it is good to have one more troops in his hands. Although Yue Xiang swore just now that the Jianzhou barbarians would not fight, but the thoughts of those savages probably can't be judged by common sense, wouldn't it be bad if they really hit one day if they went crazy.

Everyone was happy, and such a good thing was a once-in-a-lifetime event. With the appeal of each of their families, everyone can get a team of two or three hundred people, and they can directly get all of them, so why not. When the time comes, when the imperial army arrives, the rebels in Jianzhou will be exterminated, and maybe they will be able to follow the credit or something.

Ma Gong bowed down first, saying that he should share the worries of the court and go to the soup to die. The rest of the people also bowed down with him, and then they took their leave, and went back to their respective families to organize the volunteer travelers. Yue Xiang and Dong Mingchuan were about to leave, but they were left by Zou Chuxian for a while. Because the students in the city were led by these two people, Zou Chuxian specially gave a few more words of encouragement.

Before leaving, Yue Xiang asked why the edict did not mention how to prepare military supplies and salaries, nor did it say how the army would reinforce and assemble to suppress, let alone how to strengthen the border defense, and whether the volunteer brigade would attack with the army. Zou Chuxian's face was full of bitterness, and he was speechless. made Yue Xiang even more suspicious......
