Chapter 62: All sides shake and take the jade gate lightly

Yaogang Radio Station predicted in advance that there would be important news broadcasts. This news itself is an important news, because they have not heard important news for a long time, and the people of Yaogang feel that life is too dull. Everyone thinks it's going to be a big deal. The people who live in Yaogang now, except for the staff of Yaogang, the foreign population is basically much richer. When they arrived at the kiln, they quickly bought a radio. Otherwise, they won't be able to communicate with everyone when they go out. People who can mingle outside often talk about the content of the news broadcast on the radio together, and living in the kiln is completely different from living outside. Everyone here cares about the world's major affairs. Later people often said with emotion: "You Yaogang people have no worries about food and clothing, even if Li Zicheng's army of millions is killed, you don't have to be afraid, of course, you have the time and spirit to care about the world's major affairs." Another thing, no one cares what you say here, so you can also let it go. ”

Not only are the kiln people looking forward to the important news broadcast on the radio, but the radio waves have spread the news to all directions, and almost everyone with a radio is waiting for the important news of the kiln workers.

But before the news was broadcast, Yang Yulin gave birth to a son, which is the important news of Zhang Zhimu. Zhang Zhimu knew that this son was too important to Yang Yulin, because he gave birth to a daughter last time, Yang Yulin, who had always been proud, had been in a bad mood for a long time, and now Yang Yulin should be happy. Zhang Zhimu can't imagine what Yang Yulin's spirit should be like when she goes to work again?

Editor-in-chief Fan tried his best to understand the news content in the vernacular, and he knew that there were all kinds of people in the audience, so he should try his best to make everyone understand. Therefore, although the news content is very long, it can be understood as soon as you listen to it.

When the news was broadcast, in many taverns, people put down their wine cups and listened to the broadcast. Schools, factories, stations, and docks also broadcast the news at the same time.

The broadcast first introduced that after the Yaogang People's Army was ordered to go out to suppress the thieves, the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition forces thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it and jointly prepared to carry out a comprehensive attack on Yaogang in the east, west, and north, and the situation was very serious. However, the wise leaders of the kiln gang had long expected that these bandits, who were immortal in their hearts, would take advantage of our southern expedition to attack us. Therefore, while the southern expedition continued, our troops in the east, west, and north were basically not used, and the people in the Hetao area, who had just begun to live in Xinfu, had already organized themselves and took up arms to prepare for a bloody battle with the invaders to the end.

When the situation in the Central Plains became a little clearer, the leaders of Yaogang made a decisive decision to transfer the cavalry back to the north.

After reconnoitring the Mongol army in Mobei ambush in Gray Tengliang Mountain, the Yaogang cavalry decisively carried out a long-distance attack, wiped out the three large camps of the Mongols in one fell swoop, and killed a Mongol Khan, except for two Mongol Khans who escaped with a small number of Mongol soldiers, almost all the Mongol soldiers attacking from the north.

Then he introduced the division of troops, annihilating more than 100,000 Manchu and Qing allied troops in the east, annihilating more than 30,000 Mongol soldiers outside the Helan Pass in Helan Mountain, and the Warat people who had just received the news and completely annihilated the invasion outside Jiayu Pass. After the news broadcast ended, the announcer interjected again, "I just got the latest battle report, and after statistics, more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry were captured, more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry were killed, and more than 60,000 war horses were captured. ”

Just when everyone couldn't help but celebrate, the announcer said again: "According to reliable information, we respect Mr. Zhang's family, and Miss Yang Yulin gave birth to a son. ”

The kiln people happily took to the streets, they couldn't sit still at home. In particular, Yaogang Square is a place where people gather. For fear that something would happen, Yan Boju asked Yang Jing to dispatch a lot of police officers urgently to maintain order.

The reaction of the kiln gang people surprised Zhang Zhimu and others. In fact, this is not surprising, achieving such a result was simply expected by Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He, and they didn't think there was any fuss about it. Chen Yufeng said to the generals: "If you still lose the battle with such a weapon, don't come back." Save me from killing you, and you're still uncomfortable! ”

But the people of Yaogang were different, they were afraid of the Mongols in the north, and they had lived under their threat for too long. Suddenly, there was a message that the Mongols had been beaten to death and surrendered, how could they not be happy. The Yaogang people believed that their army was not afraid of the Mongols for a long time, but they did not expect that they could annihilate the Mongols again and again. Thousands killed them and captured them.

So, tonight's kiln is destined to be a sleepless night.

Not only are the people of Yaogang going to carnival tonight, but Yangzhou, which has the second highest radio penetration rate after Yaogang, is also a carnival. In relatively large places such as Xi'an, Datong, Hanyang, Luoyang, and Hanzhong, electricity has long been supplied to the local area, and there are many radios. After people heard the news, they also spontaneously celebrated to varying degrees. Especially in Shaanxi, Shanxi, where the order of life has been normal, and people's lives have been basically guaranteed, people are particularly concerned about such things, and their reactions are stronger.

In fact, the biggest reaction is still in Beijing. Emperor Chongzhen was waiting early to listen to the news of the Yaogang people. Although he already knew the news that the Yaogang people had annihilated the Mongols in the north, there was no detailed battle report.

Waiting for the Yaogang people to carefully introduce the various battles in the news, and analyze them thoroughly, Emperor Chongzhen was also nervous for a while and excited for a while. until I heard that Zhang Zhimu got a son. Emperor Chongzhen also laughed, and said in his heart: "The people of Yaogang are really funny, they actually broadcast the matter of Zhang Zhimu's son with such important news." ”

Emperor Chongzhen shouted for people to drink, because he was so happy that he couldn't control himself. What Emperor Chongzhen didn't know was that outside the Forbidden City, many people who had secretly listened to the news had already gathered in the tavern to celebrate. This was not a displeasure to anyone in the whole country, especially the literati, who understood that the results of the battle in Yaogang meant that for a long time, there would be no need to worry about the invasion of the Mongols from the north. Judging by the number of annihilated Mongols, they don't want to recover in more than ten years.

However, people also secretly discussed in private, and now the kiln gang moves a finger, and the Ming army can't deal with it. More than 100,000 people on the side of Miyun Wall Ziling were beaten to death by the Manchu army, but more than 20,000 people came to Yaogang, and they almost wiped them out. In the future, the world should be the people of Yaogang.

Emperor Chongzhen knows better that now the Yaogang people are already hard-winged, and his court has no way to deal with the Yaogang people. Emperor Chongzhen smiled bitterly in his heart, "Actually, this was already the case a few years ago. It's just that outsiders can't see it! His own emperor can sit until today, all thanks to the support of the Yaogang people. If the Yaogang people want to knock down Beijing, I'm afraid it won't take much trouble. Because no general of the Ming Dynasty would think that he could resist the attack of the Yaogang people. Not to mention that they fought almost no decent battles against the Manchu Mongols in the Central Plains, and the Dashun army ran away, which was easier than them to take Shaanxi. Today, as soon as the Yaogang people broadcast these important news about them, the whole world knows that the Yaogang people are powerful. Now Yaogang is the capital, and those who have a little money and a little ability have crowded to Yaogang. Emperor Chongzhen had an urge to go to Yaogang to have a look, but he didn't know if he would be detained by the people of Yaogang when he arrived at Yaogang, because Zhang Zhimu was detained last time he came to the capital. ”

As soon as he went to the court the next day, Emperor Chongzhen felt that the court was full of joy. The first assistant minister first said: "Your Majesty, now the news of the defeat of the Mongols and the Manchu Qing can be told to the world." Isn't it going to be celebrated by the whole country? ”

Emperor Chongzhen knew that most of them had listened to yesterday's news.

Chongzhen said: "This matter, we don't need to keep it secret now, so let's tell the world and make the people of the world happy, there has been no such exciting news for a long time." From now on, we don't have to worry too much about the Mongols and Manchus coming back to disturb us. I think I also want to commend the kiln people, and this time they have made a lot of contributions. Although the kiln gang people usually have these or those unsatisfactory places, but at the critical time, they have turned the tide several times and made shocking contributions. ”

The first assistant minister said: "Your Majesty, the Yaogang people sent back Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde, which is even more inspiring. We should execute these two scum sooner rather than later, so as to speed up the hearts of the people! ”

"Yes, yes! Tomorrow, push these two out and put them to death! Let those traitors and scum, see how this is what will happen to them! Emperor Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said.

When Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde were escorted back to Beijing by the prince in a wooden cage prisoner car, the two of them were almost stoned to death by the people on the way. It was the brocade guards of the prince who protected them to the death, so that they were put into the prison in the capital alive.

When Li Zicheng heard the important news of the kiln people, his mood was extremely complicated. He not only hoped that the Yaogang people would defeat both the Manchus and the Mongols, but also felt that the Yaogang people's combat power was too strong and a great threat to him. Now Li Zicheng is not having a good time, when they marched south, they encountered the stubborn resistance of the Ming army organized by Zheng Zhilong. Although the land combat power of the Zheng family army is not the opponent of the Dashun army, the tenacity of the Zheng family army, as well as the sophistication of their artillery weapons, are still incomparable to the Dashun army. Every time the Zheng Jiajun fights, he can come up with a heavy reward team, which is even more incomparable to the Dashun army. However, Li Zicheng and their Dashun army had no way back, and they had to move south. After a bloody battle, the Zheng army was finally pushed back to the coastal area. The Dashun army can be regarded as a slight respite. However, after Li Zicheng heard the news of Yaogang, he immediately called Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance over and said to them: "Fang Cai, I have heard the important news of Yaogang, and I think you have also listened to it. I would like to send them a letter to congratulate them, what do you think? ”

Niu Jinxing said: "Okay! Your Majesty, it should be said that we have given great face to the people of Yaogang in Jiangbei. They also helped us a lot. Our army can be completely withdrawn from Jingzhou, and it would never have been possible without the help of the Yaogang people. I heard that Emperor Chongzhen was still very dissatisfied with this, and asked people to go to the kiln to accuse Zhang Zhimu. In my opinion, the great victory of the Yaogang people this time is the victory of the entire Han people. We have been threatened by the North for thousands of years, and their victory should be celebrated by the whole country. ”

"Yes! That's a great thing! Li Zicheng said, "But where do we have a country now?" And how can we talk about the whole country celebrating? ”

Song Xiance hurriedly diverted the conversation and said: "Your Majesty, our military strength is too much worse than that of the people of Yaogang. I think it would be better to have a good relationship with them. ”

"Good! The military advisor will write a congratulatory letter to the kiln gang people in my name! Li Zicheng said, "However, we all have to know that the ambition of the kiln people is not small. They won't leave us much time in Gangnam either. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister dared to say, since we can't defeat the Yaogang people, why don't we form an alliance with them?" Niu Jinxing proposed.

"Humph!" Li Zicheng smiled bitterly and said, "If you want to form an alliance with others, you must also have capital." Let's see how they reacted to our congratulatory letter, shall we? Tell me, why aren't the kiln people fighting now? ”

"They don't want the heavens and men to oppose them, although they didn't rebel openly, but they didn't delay what they had to do." Song Xiance said, "The places they took over were all taken from us. If you take it, you will never return it to Emperor Chongzhen. This trick is very clever, Emperor Chongzhen is very angry but there is no way. ”

"We have now also gained a lot of good places in Jiangnan, we must learn from the kiln gang people, and regain the hearts of the people as soon as possible. It is also necessary to study what the kiln gang people do. Research, how did they develop so quickly? Li Zicheng commanded.

Zuo Liangyu has always watched the tiger fight from the mountains, and the imperial court issued orders to him several times to let him fight, but Zuo Liangyu's food and salary are not out. Today, Zuo Liangyu heard the news of the Yaogang people, and he was also full of pride. He is also a native of Liaodong. Now that his hometown is still occupied by the Manchu Tartars, Zuo Liangyu hates that he can go into battle to kill the Mongols and kill the Manchu Tartars. But Zuo Liangyu knew better that the Mongol cavalry and the Manchu cavalry were not easy to deal with. With his team, it would be good to be able to draw with the Mongols and the Manchus. It is impossible to destroy them so easily. The combat power of the Yaogang people is incredible, how can they suddenly be able to run rampant in the world. Fortunately, the relationship between himself and the Yaogang people has always been good, and after listening to Li Maoli's method of raising fish in living water, the economy of this area of Jiujiang has undergone great changes. Normal fees and taxes are collected, and there is a lot of income. However, Zuo Liangyu is also worried that if the kiln gang people continue to develop like this, they will have to deal with themselves immediately. In the past, the kiln people were far away from him, but it was like a dream, the kiln people suddenly faced him across the river, and Zuo Liangyu had to think about these things.

Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings hiding in Sichuan, did not have a very smooth life, and it was difficult for cultural people in Sichuan to accept outsiders like Zhang Xianzhong to govern Sichuan. kept giving him problems, and at this time Zhang Xianzhong was a little unable to suppress his anger, and wanted to give Sichuan people a little power. After listening to the news today, he pondered for a long time, and he understood that his strength was too much worse than that of the kiln workers. However, Zhang Xianzhong was still very happy that the Yaogang people were able to destroy the Mongolian Tartars and the Manchu Qing Tartars.

Some time ago, there was a report from Wuchang that Zuo Liangyu was constantly attacking them, and it seemed that he had plans to kill them. Zhang Xianzhong thought that the soldiers and horses left behind in Wuchang were really insufficient, and instead of letting Zuo Liangyu call over, it was better to send a favor to the people of Yaogang, and he couldn't take care of it over there anyway. Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong ordered someone to write a letter to the great victory of the kiln gang people to congratulate him, and at the same time wrote a letter to tell Zhang Zhimu about the idea of handing over Wuchang to the kiln gang people to manage. It is enough to send the letter to Hanzhong, because the people of Yaogang have a telegram to send the message to the Yaogang. At the same time, he also sent a letter to the defenders of Wuchang, and if the kiln gang people came to take over, they would cooperate with them and carry out the handover.

Fan Wencheng and Azige, who were in front of Shanhaiguan, were all stunned when they heard the news of the kiln workers. They didn't expect Dolgon to be so defeated, they escaped with their lives, they didn't care very much about how many Mongols died, what they cared about was that more than 100,000 horses went out, and now there are 20,000 or 30,000 people who have fled back.

Azig asked Fan Wencheng: "Strategist! When we sent out troops, you repeatedly refused to bring too many soldiers and horses, did you already expect a big defeat? ”

"Humph! If I had the ability, I wouldn't have let the regent send troops. Fan Wencheng snorted and replied. He was very disgusted that these Baylors wanted to find scapegoats when they were in trouble, and never looked for reasons in themselves.

"If we had sent out a few more horses, the Lord Regent wouldn't have been so badly defeated!" Azig complained.

"The Lord Regent, they're still on their way, we'll know when they get back." Fan Wencheng didn't want to talk about these things with Azig, "They will know what the situation is when they come back." We can't all listen to what the kiln people say. ”

In the past two days, Zhang Zhimu has been indispensable to ask for liquor and invite everyone to drink happy wine. The cousin at home was too busy to do so, so she took charge and hired two more people to help. However, Zhang Zhimu didn't want to be at home for a banquet, so he arranged it to the Yaogang Hotel.

Zhou Yuji, Li Kui, and Zhao Jinli drank a celebratory wine happily in the evening, and did not dare to delay the next day, and immediately took the Third Cavalry Army to Yumen and Guazhou (Guaxian, Anxi), leaving the Second Cavalry Army on standby at Jiayuguan.

Because yesterday's battle of annihilation was fought too thoroughly, the Mongols guarding Yumen and Guazhou (Guaxian, Anxi) were not prepared at all. When the Ming Dynasty contracted its defense, the people of Shazhouwei (Dunhuang), Yumen, and Guazhou (Anxi, Guaxian) were withdrawn to the east of Jiayuguan, and now there are not many people left in Yumen and Guazhou (Anxi, Guaxian). The Mongols did not have many soldiers and horses stationed here.

Tanma, who came back from the investigation of Yumen, said that Yumen was closed and wide open, and there was no defense at all.

Zhou Yuji said: "In this way, we will send people to put on the clothes of the Mongols and rush directly into the Yumen Pass." The Mongols did not believe that we would attack them on their own initiative, and they were not very vigilant. ”

"Huh! Not to mention that it is not high," Li Kui said, "they may have thought that Jiayuguan might have been captured by them as well." ”

Zhao Jinli said: "We have prepared the clothing of the Mongolian soldiers, and I think it is enough to send 50 people to rush into the pass and occupy the city gate." I'll take care of that! ”

"I think Commander Zhao will be responsible for the end, and you will knock down the Jade Gate!" Zhou Yuji said, "But I have a suggestion, we will send a team of men and horses to bypass the Yumen Pass, ambush between Yumen and Guazhou, and intercept them once there are Mongols who have escaped from Yumen to send a message to Guazhou." ”

"Yes, yes! Commander Zhao, I'll leave the matter of Yumen to you. Li Kui said.

"Okay!" Zhao Jinli agreed and left.

Yumen Pass (PS) and Yangguan were both built by order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It was named after the Western Regions when they imported jade from here. This is the choke point of the Silk Road leading to the Northern Western Regions. However, due to the decline of the Ming Dynasty's national strength, it retreated to Jiayu Pass and abandoned Yumen Pass. It was occupied by the Mongols and was very dilapidated.

Fifty Yaogang cavalrymen, dressed into Mongolian soldiers' clothes and armor, rode horses and ran towards the east gate of Yumen. The Mongol soldiers at the pass saw a group of cavalry coming from a distance, thinking that it was to deliver a message or something. Otherwise, it wouldn't be just a little bit of a person. They hid from the sun in the sky, and in the shadows, they looked at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer, and they did not expect that it would be the kiln man coming. But when the cavalry approached, the Mongol soldiers still felt that something was wrong with the people, and they didn't say anything for a while. Just when they took out their waist knives and wanted to intercept this group of cavalry, the kiln cavalry who rushed over and did not slow down began to greet them with ****. Then the cavalry rushed into the Yumen Pass, and the cavalry who entered the pass did not rush to the pass, but after entering the gate, they immediately divided into two ways and boarded the city. The Mongol soldiers guarding the city gate noticed someone coming up, and they carried their knives and asked, ".............."

Anyway, the kiln soldiers didn't understand what they asked, so they answered them with ****.

Outside the city, in the distance, Zhao Jinli saw that the cavalry of Yaogang had rushed into the city, and immediately ordered the cavalry to speed up and rush into the city.

The brigade of cavalry rumbling outside the city still alarmed the Mongolian thousand households defending the city. Although he only has three or four hundred soldiers and horses in his hands, the level of guarding Yumen Pass is quite high, because this is the closest place to Jiayu Pass of the Han people.

This Mongolian thousand households rode to the east gate with more than a dozen pro-soldiers, and saw a lot of Mongolian soldiers lying on the ground, so they asked the Mongolian soldiers standing guard what was going on, but the Mongolian soldiers standing guard couldn't understand what he said, so they had no choice but to take out the **** and blow his head out. When the pro-soldiers who followed Qianhu saw it, they stopped doing it and immediately rushed up. The kiln cavalry, dressed in Mongol uniforms, had no choice but to dismount them as well. These soldiers of Qianhu are all good martial arts, and when they were killed by pistols, their eyes were obviously unwilling. But at this time, the cavalry brigade of Yaogang had already rushed over. The Yaogang cavalry, who came first, quickly took off the Mongolian soldier clothes on their bodies. Otherwise, it would be too unjust to be killed by your own people.

The Yaogang cavalry that rushed into the city quickly rushed to the other city gates, and it didn't take much time and not many shots to capture more than 300 Mongol soldiers.

Zhao Jinli looked at these captured Mongolian soldiers, all of whom were old and weak Mongolian soldiers. For the strong of them all went out to fight.

After Zhou Yuji and Li Kui entered the city, they saw that the people of Yumen, old and young, added up to several thousand. One battalion was left to be responsible for cleaning and guarding the Yuyumen Pass, and the other horses did not stop and continued to advance towards Guazhou (Anxi, Gua County).

(PS: The exact address of Yumen Pass is not yet known.) It's just a small square city as a site for the time being. But Yumen Pass, which was so important in the Han Dynasty, would definitely not be such a small place. ）
