Chapter 569: The Fallen Iron Ridge Time difference

There is still a distance between Tielingwei and Liaoyang Shenyang, and the news of the fall of Tielingwei will not be able to reach the Jingshi for a while and a half, because that distance is not densely covered with fortresses and outposts, but a piece of open space specially left, to put it mildly, if there is an enemy in the direction of Tielingwei, a weak enemy, Tielingwei plus the surrounding fortresses and thousands of households, the mobilized tens of thousands of people can be repulsed, if even Tielingwei can't be repulsed, then the army of Liaozhen will have to fight a decisive battle with the other party in the place between Tieling and Liaoyang.

However, the northern army of Huazhou moved quickly, controlled the Tielingwei, and the cavalry quickly cut off the channel for transmitting the news, the key problem is that there are too many soldiers who go to the outside of the border wall to loot and make a fortune, and the fortresses and thousands of households near the border walls are very empty, and they are just caught off guard.

The best thing to win the hearts of the people is to give them real things, and the Huazhou Northern Army announced the next day that if those who swore allegiance to Huazhou, they could get 100 acres of land, and in a place like Liaozhen, which is vast and sparsely populated, 100 acres of land is really not too tempting to pay a price.

But after the oath of allegiance, the land only needs to pay two percent of the field tax, a year of forced labor has fifty days, this is too attractive, the current Ming military town, the military household is the private property of the officer, the land of the guard is the land of the officer, the military households cultivate these land, to pay more than forty percent of the tax, because in addition to the officer's share, there are taxes paid to the central government, and since it is private property, then all kinds of labor and labor are also called at any time, in fact, this life is slightly stronger than the peasants.

Now Huazhou has such a policy, which is no different from the land being completely attributed to the individual, and naturally there are those who do not believe, but the other party now firmly controls the Tielingwei area, do you not believe in suffering, or believe in a good life for a few days, the crops and crops in the field are already very high at this time, if you swear allegiance, these things fall into your hands this year is much richer than in previous years.

And he also knew that Ding Zhuang, the man in his family, was not killed by the other party, but was demolishing the side wall to build a road, which reassured these residents of Tielingwei, thinking that no matter what, as long as he was alive.

When the occupation lasted until the fifth day, the Huazhou cavalry guarding the various intersections could no longer catch any escapees, because the military discipline of Huazhou had calmed down the hearts of the vast majority of the people, and in any case, the current Huazhou army was much better than the Ming army.

At this time, the Ming court was in a state of euphoria, which came from the victory of the mighty battalion, and it was a complete victory.

The mobilization of 10,000 soldiers in Liao Town and 10,000 soldiers in Jizhen plus 30,000 soldiers and horses from other places, if you count the Ming army guards here in the south of Beizhili and the north of Shandong, there are also 50,000 soldiers and horses.

When the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen and Jizhen had not yet arrived, the Ming army had already begun to assemble in Tongzhou, which was actually the northern transshipment point of Caoyun, and the supply of grain and grass was also very convenient, Tongzhou had already gathered nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, thinking that at least they could protect themselves by relying on this scale, and the White Lotus Sect would not come to attack.

The second day of the 30,000 soldiers, they met the White Lotus Sect that would not come to impact, and the leaders of the White Lotus Sect suffered a lot in this period, and they couldn't beat the city just because they had momentum, and the cotton gentry who had a good relationship with them were now against them, and the family wealth accumulated at the beginning of the prosperity was slowly spit out, and these people were also anxious, and some of the middle and lower leaders of the White Lotus Sect began to question, why not use Liu Boshun Liu Hall Master of Shandong, when he led it, the White Lotus Sect did not say that it would win a hundred battles, but it was almost the same.

But what to do with this quagmire now, how to solve it, Liu Boshun of Shandong Xiangtang inexplicably did not know what to do, his obedience and honesty when he handed over power, so that people did not have any vigilance and vigilance against him, and he was surrounded by Liu Boshun's former companions, and there was no replacement.

Without surveillance, naturally they didn't know what the other party was doing, and when the top management of the White Lotus Sect finally remembered that there was an expert around them to ask, they came to visit, only to find that the other party had disappeared for several days.

The White Lotus Sect's Jing Shou Sect Master was already ready to ascend the throne as the emperor, and his heart was high, and he couldn't tolerate any news of defeat and retreat, and the White Lotus Sect's hall masters were also in urgent need of a victory to ensure their prestige and status in the sect.

These 30,000 soldiers and horses have become their target, and the intelligence network of the White Lotus Sect is all over the countryside, and they are very clear about the movements of the people, and they already knew the news long before the 30,000 soldiers were deployed.

This time, the White Lotus Sect used their traditional methods to coerce the people to follow, and generally speaking, if they put a knife on the other party's parents and wives, the other party will always be very obedient. The White Lotus Sect mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized in the north and south, Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi, plus the slave laborers in the countryside of the three northern provinces, to raise more than 60,000 people.

This time it was a real disaster, more than 60,000 people, and more than 60,000 people who had no supplies, all they could do was to plunder the villages and towns on the way, as if they were eating up everything like locusts.

When encountering those 30,000 soldiers, the people of the White Lotus Sect were all relieved, these days, they were already a little uncontrollable, if it was a few days late, I was afraid that it would be a mutiny, and their lives would be confessed inside.

This time, the officers and men were very confident that although the number of the other side was large, there were more than 20,000 people with equipment, and most of them were hungry people who lacked provisions.

But this is just their own belief, when the battle is engaged, the chaotic people who rushed over all over the mountains with red eyes are really terrifying, those hungry people are not afraid of any bows and arrows and knives and axes and spears on the opposite side, it is not too terrible for them to die on the battlefield, if they return to the ranks of the White Lotus Sect to endure that kind of hellish torture, this is more terrible than dying.

The madness of the White Lotus rebellion made the 30,000 soldiers quickly unable to bear it, the local soldiers and horses in Tongzhou first collapsed, and the collapse of a corner of the formation soon brought about a greater rout, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Ming army collapsed instantly, and the White Lotus Sect achieved a big victory.

This victory was still the White Lotus Sect took the initiative to attack, face to face to defeat the mobilized Ming army, for a time the entire north prestige was greatly enhanced, originally the soldiers of each prefecture and county were already able to break out of the city, try to recapture some of the ten places, heard the defeat of the rebellion army, they all shrank back, and could not hold out.

And all kinds of messy small Taoist sects thought that the opportunity had come, and they flocked to the scene, and now it seems that this Jing Shou is still sober-minded, because in the five counties of Qingzhou Mansion in Shandong alone, there are more than a dozen kings, and there are two or three emperors, and everyone is dizzy.

In the Jinyuanwai Mansion in Luoyang City, there are already senior members of the White Lotus Sect who persuade Sect Master Jing to ascend the throne, and incidentally, no matter whether the situation on the front line is good or bad, Sect Leader Jing Shou is always sitting in the center, as stable as Mount Tai.

The defeat of the Ming army is a fact, but the result of the White Lotus Sect is to take a few more counties, and pick up some weapons of the Ming army on the battlefield, in addition to the situation in various places is still stalemate, but these people think that victory is just around the corner, they even stationed their own camp outside the city of Tongzhou, day and night attack, feel that as long as the city is taken, the grain and grass supplies inside are all the White Lotus Sect, but Tongzhou is also an important town, there are many soldiers and horses, and the city is strong, It was so easy to be defeated, and in addition to driving the rebels to attack the city, the White Lotus Sect still didn't have a single heavy weapon to siege the city.

Supplies and food and grass still can't be solved, and the chaotic people coerced by the White Lotus Sect are still constantly fleeing, but in Luoyang City, the matter of the White Lotus Sect Master's accession to the throne is also in full swing.

On the fifth day of the fall of Tielingwei, the White Lotus Sect rebels outside Tongzhou City suddenly found themselves with a large number of horses in front of them.

Such a big defeat must have shaken the Jingshi, and the emperor and the ministers didn't care about waiting for the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen and Jizhen, so they directly mobilized the soldiers and horses of the mighty battalion near Baoding, and five thousand light horsemen rushed to Tongzhou overnight, and the five thousand horse team plus the cavalry of Tongzhou City gathered nearly eight thousand soldiers and horses.

Rosie, who led the team, was a veteran of the border town in Shaanxi, seeing that the power in his hands was sufficient, and he didn't want to play any tricks or anything like that, after a little rest, he directly divided his cavalry into four teams, and rushed into the White Lotus Sect's garrison in waves, the charge started at dawn, and the rebels of the White Lotus Sect had been slacking off in the past few days because of the turtle shrinkage of the Tongzhou soldiers and horses, and suddenly countless cavalry rushed in with the momentum of the sky and the earth cracking, and the tens of thousands of soldiers gathered by the White Lotus Sect collapsed in an instant. All the cavalry did was chase and cut them down.

The mighty battalion beheaded 20,000, and the white lotus collapsed and ceased to be a problem. When the news reached Jingshi, there was a sudden jubilation among the government and the opposition, and at this time, the news of the fall of Tieling was still on the way......
