At the beginning of March of the third year of Chongzhen, at this time, spring plowing should have begun everywhere, and the farming was busy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A lot of things have also passed in these three months, first of all, although the second Houjin Jinjin entered the border of Liaodong after the defense of the Beijing Division, it was repulsed, but the Houjin still did not completely withdraw from Liaodong.

Instead, fierce battles were fought in various towns and the Ming official army, and the officers and soldiers were led by the emperor's Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Zu Dashou and others, while the Later Jin was transferred to various places, and everywhere they went was burning, killing and looting. Although it was March, the war was still in full swing.

Later, the Jin soldiers marched eastward from Tongzhou, conquered the Xianghe River, and advanced to Yongping. On the fourth day of the first month, the city was broken at dawn, and the deputy envoy Zheng Guochang hanged himself on the city.

The prefect Zhang Fengqi and others died, and then fell into Luanzhou, Zhizhou Yang Lian killed himself, and Feng Yuntai, the servant of the temple, escaped first. Attacking Funing again, the general Huang Wei was defending it and not resisting it for four days. Turned to attack Changli and returned to Yongping.

On the ninth day of the first month of January, after the Houjin soldiers captured Luanzhou, they divided their troops from Funing to Shanhai, and were 30 miles away from the pass and lined up with three battalions. Weixian, deputy commander-in-chief of Shanhai North Road, and Chen Weihan, a staff general, set up two battalions to resist the enemy.

Later, Weixian was ordered by Ma Shilong to lead Chen Weihan and guerrilla Zhang Qihua to attack Zunhua. The soldiers in the city attacked, but the vanguard of the virtuous army fought to the death, and the rear team took advantage of the situation to attack, and the arrows and stones in the city rained down. Weixian and Zhang Qihua were killed in battle, and more than 300 soldiers were killed and wounded.

The Later Jin were not like the Ming army, they had the main force led by Huang Taiji, Dolgon and others to drag the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. And scattered a small part of the Mongols and banner people to slaughter and plunder the Ming villages, even a small part of the Houjin soldiers combat effectiveness is very amazing, this is a big disaster.

Turning his gaze to Shaanxi 0, Shaanxi 0 has experienced a major drought, and there is no harvest of people's fields. In the first year of Chongzhen, hundreds of peasants led by Wang Er, a farmer in Bai0shui County, northern Shaanxi, killed Zhang Douyao, the county governor, and rose up.

Then the whole Shaanxi responded, coupled with Wang Youlong, who was the governor of northern Shaanxi at the time, was afraid that the court would blame him and turned a deaf ear, and Wang Jiayin, Wang Daliang, Gao Yingxiang and Wang Zuogui responded in two years, and by the third year of Chongzhen, there were more than 100 peasant rebels in Shaanxi.

Li Zicheng also participated in the uprising team of King Gao Yingxiang at the end of the second year, and was the general of the eight teams and the old battalion of the first team.

At the beginning of the third year, Zhang Xianzhong gathered the peasants of 18 villages in his hometown and organized a team to respond to the riots of Wang Jiayin and others, and called himself the "Eight Kings".

The locals described him as 'long and thin with a slightly yellow face, one foot six inches, and a strong and fruitful man', so he was called 'Yellow Tiger' in the army. Zhang Xianzhong's team was still used by Wang Jiayin, and later became an army of its own.

On March 8, there was a southern tour of He0 according to Wu Fu: between Kaifeng and Guide, near the river Zhuzhou County, bordering Shan0 East and Zhili. The original "evil demons" used the teachings of White Lotus and Jin Chan to incite the villagers, collude with the dead, and distribute the calls.

Recently, the "big thieves" obtained are all coerced by the "demon book", called the king's name, vertical and horizontal, across the state and even the city, covering three or four hundred miles, claiming that Ziweixing has lost his way and is planning to do big things.

Chongzhen attached great importance to this matter, and immediately issued an edict, instructing the southern patrol of He0 to handle the affairs of the White Lotus Sect with full authority according to Wu Fu, and the department under the chapter approved it.

Changning Fort is located in the right guard of Datong, there is no worry about the righteous army for the time being, and the plundering of the border after Jin has little impact on it, and it is also very beneficial to Xiao Yi's development.

I saw this team of people, about 100 people, 21 squads, divided into 21 lines, five columns of matrix marching, each row on the far right is the squad leader. The five riders in the front rode slowly, and it was Xiao Yi's five people.

Xiao Yi rode on his horse and looked at the familiar ground, this boundary has been walked many times since the construction of Yong'an Fort. At most, I even go back and forth more than a dozen times a day.

However, now that time flies, he is actually in charge of Changning Fort in front of him, which is really like a dream. The fort city of Changning Fort in front of it is getting closer and closer, and the city wall made of bluestone is already faintly visible.

Changning Town, which has been here so many times, has not yet taken a closer look at this historical military fort.

Compared with Yong'an Fort, this Changning Town is the first historical fort that Xiao Yi is really in charge of, which is of great significance to him.

Changning Town is the same as Yong'an Fort, divided into two gates, the west gate Chong Yong'an Fort, for the 'Yongning Gate', the east gate Chongjing Division and Liaodong direction, for the 'Zhenyu Gate'.

The rammed earth blue brick city wall on all sides covers an area more than twice that of Yong'an Fort. Thousands of horizontals, there is a pier platform built on the city wall every ten meters.

Xiao Yi and his entourage saw from a distance that a group of people gathered outside the Yongning Gate of Changning Fort, most of these people were ragged military households, and a few of them were wearing tattered mandarin duck battle jackets. There are only a few people in the military households, carrying a rusty old and antique spear, which is the military household left behind by Changliang, the king of the Xiaowutai Mountain War last time.

When I got closer, I saw that the leader was Yang Xiao, the previous escrow team, and now he was the team officer who made up for Li Zhen's vacancy. On the left of Yang Xiao is the warden Yuan Dachang, and on the right is Si Li Qihai, these two people are in charge of all the weapons, money, food and military household arrangements in Changning Town, and the two are also followed by a group of small scribes of about a dozen people, and there are a number of general flags and small flags.

Yang Xiao just stared ahead and waited for the arrival of Xiao Yi and his party, but did not say much. But everyone behind him was gossiping, and although Yang Xiao frowned when she heard it, she didn't speak.

Suddenly, I saw a group of people coming in front of me, and when everyone looked, someone shouted.

"Behold, the new steward has arrived."

I saw this team of men and horses, the army was neat and neat, and the ranks were neat. Everyone is brightly dressed and energetic, and the sword and spear players are clearly distinguished. The soldiers at the head were even sharper-eyed, staring at them without fear.

Everyone was surprised, although Yang Xiao was also amazed, but after all, he had seen it before, and he was the first to react. Greeted forward, half-kneeling on the ground, "Your Excellency is far away and hard, Yang Xiao led the castle to welcome your lord!" ”

Yang Xiao actually had some emotion in his heart, this Xiao Yi saw him come some time ago and still needed to be notified before he could enter the fort, but now he has become a person from the whole castle to greet him. And this Xiao is also fashionable for the first time and has no official position, only in March, he directly replaced Wang Changliang as a team officer for many years, but it is really pleasant that he has also been promoted to a team officer.

Yuan Dachang had a square face, a handful of stubble sticking under his nose, which was not a dense beard, and he was nearly forty years old when he heard Yang Xiao's introduction.

Xiao Yi saw that this person was obviously a little sluggish, he saw that Yuan Dachang was pushed a few times by a few scribes behind him before reacting, and the secretary Qi Hai was snickering behind him, Xiao Yi immediately had a bad impression of this person. Only then did Yuan Dachang step forward and bow respectfully to Xiao Yi and introduce himself.

Followed by the priest Qi Hai, he could see clearly when he got closer. This person was born with a sharp face, more than 20 years old, wearing a pair of scribe's square hats, quite a dog-headed military advisor. I saw this person slowly stepping forward, and he also knelt down to Xiao Yi, and his voice was slightly sharp when he heard the words.

This is a small tunbao, there are not so many rules, the total flag is seven or eight people, and the small flag is as many as a cow's hair, Xiao Yi saw that these people's clothes were as tattered as the people, and they were all carrying a broken gun and looking like a hanger, so he was not interested in asking them, and directly signaled Yang Xiao to enter the fort.

It was to walk into Changning Fort while talking to Yang Xiao, and the soldiers of Yong'an Fort behind him were still moving forward neatly, Xiao Yi and Yang Xiao were obviously much closer than others, which also made everyone behind them envious and jealous, and they all followed back to the fort.
