On the day of the drill, onlookers from all over the world flooded the school grounds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Under the cheers of the generals of each Zhenwei battalion, the drill began on time, and the neat cheers of the officers and soldiers in the school field made everyone's blood boil.
From these officers and soldiers, the people saw hope, saw Xiao Yi's strength in defending Ulzhou, and firmly believed that the Yongan Army would go further.
Under the banner of the Yong'an Army, the soldiers shouted loudly and ran back and forth, forming formations, forming formations, changing formations, etc. in one go.
Looking at this momentum, even Han Shimeng, the chief officer of Datong, felt a little excited in his heart, and praised the sergeants of the Zhenwei battalion, and Xiao Yi also smiled and said that it was praised by the military gate.
Before leaving, Han Shimeng still had some aftertaste, outside the west gate of Ulzhou, he rode on a tall horse and sighed: "If the garrison of Datong is like Xiao Yi, why not let all the thieves and Mongolian Tartars be very rotten!" The people have suffered a lot..."
Han Shimeng's family Ding Lu was also full of awe, and he suddenly said: "General, don't forget, this is just the Zhenwei battalion, not the Yong'an Army, the Yong'an Army is Xiao Yi's soldiers..."
Han Shi slapped his forehead violently, and said with some reproach: "Why didn't you remind earlier!" Otherwise, this army must go to the military camp of the Yong'an Army to see, and the Zhenwei Battalion is still like this, so what about the Yong'an Army? ”
Unknowingly, it was already evening, and dozens of relatives and soldiers rode over and got on their horses one by one, although Han Shimeng intended to stay in Ulzhou to see how Xiao Yi trained his troops.
However, as the chief military officer, there are too many things to do every day, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of things accumulated in the half day after leaving the town, and it is time to go back and deal with them.
Han Shimeng gave an order, and led his own soldiers straight back to Datong Town.
……
On January 6 of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City of Beijing Division, the beginning of the court meeting.
Although the Spring Festival is a festive day, the events from everywhere make Chongzhen not happy at all, and he is sad all day long, first of all.
Cao Wenzhao, deputy commander-in-chief of Yansui East Road, came with good news, Cao Wenzhao cooperated with Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, and led the Guanning cavalry and the Yansui official army to attack the east and west, and after Xiao Yi exterminated Wang Zishun, he continuously exterminated several bandits.
Ji Dianzi, Ground-Stepping Dragon, Tianyasha and other thieves, and in the first month of this year, they fought with Wang Jiayin, who refused to defend the river meander, and won successive battles.
In addition to Wang Zishun in the rear, Wang Jiayin has the largest power and the largest number of people in Yansui and Taiyuan Prefectures.
However, Wang Zishun was exterminated by Xiao Yi, and Cao Wenzhao's record was a little inferior in comparison, and even the old camp of the Wang Department was eradicated by Xiao Yi, and the officials and troops of the second government paid full attention to Wang Jiayin.
Xiao also annihilated the old camp of Wang Zishun's department, which caused a period of time, except for the unlarge-scale thieves, there was no longer any large peasant army in Taiyuan Mansion.
And because of the Yong'an Army, the caravans traveling from Ulzhou mostly carried the banner of the Yong'an Army, and those rogues fled when they saw the flag, and there was almost no war in Taiyuan Prefecture, and the local officials and troops turned to support the Yansui front.
Originally, according to the development of history, Wang Jiayin would be exterminated by Cao Wenzhao in April this year, and Cao Wenzhao would also be promoted to the chief military officer of Lintao, but according to the current situation, this incident should happen half a month or even a month in advance.
Last month, Chongzhen Yu read a letter from Li Jizhen, who was in charge of Langzhong: "The Yansui area has been plagued by famine for many years, and the people have been in exile and rebelled from the rebel army, seven out of ten, this is the end of the catastrophe, please help..."
A few days ago, Emperor Chongzhen sent Wu Fu to Yansui with 100,000 gold to Yan Sui, Wu Fu to Yan Sui, to Xi'an official Shi Kefa to take charge of relief, and then Chongzhen immediately ordered Wu Fu to patrol Shaanxi on behalf of Li Ying.
Above the main hall, the ministers were dumbfounded, and suddenly a eunuch ran into the main hall, and the panicked appearance was really not reminiscent of a good thing.
Sure enough, the eunuch knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's not good for your majesty..., the people of Fujian Diao gathered people to rebel and besiege the county government, and they have broken several counties in a row!" ”
Fujian thieves sprung up, and there were still many officers and soldiers who fled in the middle, gathering thousands of people to attack Ruijin County from Changlaikeng, instructing Wang Kuichun to handle the affairs of the city, and telling the people to defend and report to the imperial court.
There was a loud cry of condemnation in the lobby, and Li Banghua, the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came out angrily: "Diao people gather people to rebel, and they should immediately send troops to suppress it." ”
Chongzhen took the case and shouted: "Spread my will, order Qiu Bao, the chief military officer of Fujian Town, to immediately lead the army to pacify, and the military department must not make mistakes!" ”
"Obey the Emperor's orders!"
The emperor was furious, and his ministers knelt.
Then came several pieces of news, none of which were good, either there was a resurgence of rogues in this place, or there was a famine and plague in that place that required the imperial court to transport silver grain.
However, what worries Chongzhen the most is the Liaodong war situation, at the beginning of the year, the superintendent Sun Chengzong was sparse: "Guangning is far away, and it should be based on Gutun first, build Dalinghe City, and gradually advance."
The court discussed this matter for a long time, some said that it should not cost the people and money, and some said that it was beneficial to the war situation, but Chongzhen was wavering at both ends and could not make up his mind.
Generally speaking, the current battle situation in Liaodong has not changed greatly, but Sun Chengzong supervised Liaodong, and the Ming army took more initiative, under the leadership of Zu Dashou, Zhao Shujiao and other people, and the Tartars continued to compete for those few important cities.
For a long time, the walls of many cities are seriously damaged, and the banner of the Ming Dynasty is hung today, and the yellow flag of the gold is replaced by the yellow flag of the Houjin tomorrow, and the cycle is repeated.
Listening to the words of the ministers in the audience, Chongzhen felt more and more disappointed, and became more annoyed, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and brushed his sleeves.
"Don't read it again!"
"This..."
The minister, who was reading the song, immediately knelt on the ground in horror, and said continuously: "The emperor is angry, take care of the dragon's body..."
The court, which had been discussing a lot just now, suddenly fell silent, and at this moment, a eunuch's shrill voice came: "Great victory!" Datong is a great victory, and 1,800 people are killed... What a victory! ”
The eunuch held the 800-mile urgent report brought by the Datong border army, and he was not slow to run with small steps, and when he heard the news, the kneeling ministers and the Chongzhen Emperor on the jade steps were all shocked, and the ministers turned back one after another.
What, Datong's victory?!
The eunuch was too excited and flustered to pay attention to his feet when he ran, and when he reached the big red threshold, he thought he was high enough, but the truth was not high enough.
As a result, the eunuch slammed on the threshold, and the 'poof' fell to the top of the hall, and the funny appearance of baring teeth should have made the hall laugh, but at this time, no one dared to move.
After Chongzhen heard this, he was anxious in his heart, and the border town was eight hundred miles to report the victory, he really wanted to know how to win the victory?
However, as the emperor, no matter how eager he was, he couldn't go down to pick it up in person, so he had to use his eyes to constantly signal the eunuch Wang Chengen, who was standing respectfully on the side.
Wang Chengen has followed Chongzhen since he was still a king, and he can naturally understand every look of Chongzhen, and he hurriedly ran down the jade steps and picked up the emergency report.
Before leaving, he squeezed his eyes at the little eunuch, meaning that he should leave quickly, it was too gaffe in front of the emperor, and the little eunuch also understood that Wang Chengen was actually saving him, so he quit and retreated.
Everyone's eyes were on this little piece of paper, and no one cared about it.
"This, this..."
Wang Chengen ran back to the jade steps, looking at the urgent report, his eyes were already a little sluggish, and then the joy of rising.
Chongzhen whispered on the side: "What the hell, talk to me quickly, if you want to die in a hurry?" ”
Wang Chengen reacted at this time, no wonder the little eunuch lost his temper, he actually made a fool of himself in the main hall, and then he said loudly.
"On the first day of the first month of the fourth year, 3,000 cavalry in the west invaded Datong, and Xiao Yi, the garrison of Ulzhou, led 1,200 officers and troops to attack, fought fiercely all night, and cut more than 1,800 ranks.
As soon as Wang Chengen's voice fell, the hall was full of shock, many people were already somewhat familiar with this name, and the three successive victories of the peasant army were all won by him.
This time it turned out to be this Xiao Yi again, compared with the previous two victories, this big victory can go down in history!
After hearing this, Chongzhen hurriedly snatched the good news from Wang Chengen's hand, holding this small piece of paper, Chongzhen's eyes were flushed, and after reading it, he slapped the golden chair violently.
"Good! What a brave Xiao Yi who crowns all sides! ”
