Thieves Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui, Luo Rucai, Ge Liyan, Zuo Jin Wang, Reincarnated King, Shooting Collapse Heaven, Hengtian King, Mixed 100,000, Guotianxing, Nine Dragons, Shuntian King and other thirteen families with a total of 72 battalions gathered in Xingyang, discussing the battle and defending.

At the conference, there were different opinions, and then they all adopted the strategy of "dividing troops and determining the direction" of Li Zicheng, the general of the eight teams under the command of King Gao Yingxiang.

In the first month, the thief Kou Yige Li Eye, the Zuojin King rejected the river, and the lake soldiers; Hengtian King, mixed with 100,000 Yong'an army; Cao Cao, Luo Rucai, crossing the sky and the stars on the river; Gao Yingxiang, the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are slightly eastern; Lao Huihui, Nine Dragons and other five battalions of the left side of the revolution responded to each other.

Later, because the thieves were afraid of Shanxi's soldiers, they increased the number of shots and the king of the world to defend Shanxi to prevent the Yongan army from advancing eastward.

When the Ming court heard this, Emperor Chongzhen urgently dispatched more than 70,000 soldiers from the northwest and the south to Henan to fight, and ordered Hong Chengchou to serve as the governor of the three provinces to go out of the customs to suppress the bandits, and to help suppress them with Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong.

However, it backfired, and after the Xingyang Conference, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and other thieves marched eastward according to the agreement.

When the Ming army Jiangbei was in ruins, it was unable to withstand the strength of a battle, and the excessive deduction of military salaries caused the army to be discouraged.

Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other troops invaded Anhui with lightning speed, Jiangbei soldiers killed the general soldier Fang Shiren mutinied from the thief, 100,000 people, and even trapped Gushi, Huoqiu, Shouzhou several places.

On the tenth day of the first month, Zhang Xianzhong's troops conquered Yingzhou.

......

On a certain day in mid-February of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Marshal Mansion of Datong City.

On the afternoon of the day after the holy decree arrived in Datong City, Xiao Yi, the former general of the expedition to the west, issued a military order, and the generals of the Yong'an Army and the Zhenwei Battalion of the General Commander at all levels all went to Datong City to discuss matters.

Seeing that the generals of the Yong'an Army were constantly entering the city, and tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in the city, it seemed that there was another war, and the soldiers and civilians of Shanxi rushed to talk about it.

At this moment, the generals in the hall with steel armor and iron armor were neatly arranged, all of them were tigers and leopards, and Xiao Yi looked at the hundreds of core generals of the Yong'an Army below and nodded secretly.

Xiao Yi's face is not good-looking, and the generals in the hall are so silent and silent all know why, and the reason is naturally the holy decree issued by Emperor Chongzhen a few days ago, which is equivalent to giving a war letter to the Yongan Army in disguise.

Xiao Yi waited for everyone to calm down, and said, "All the brothers are here, have you heard of the holy decree of the imperial court." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yi's face gradually became difficult to look at, how could he not expect Chongzhen to do things so ruthlessly, and enter Beijing to discuss the crown?

Xiao Yi, who has been influenced by countless influences in contemporary times, will not think that Chongzhen is so kind, in this era of relying on personal troops, as long as he is away from the military power, it is not how he Chongzhen kneaded, and there are few examples of generals being called into the Beijing division to besiege and kill in ancient times?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed, since Chongzhen wanted to kill himself, then he couldn't sit still, and it was not impossible to fight him to death.

Hearing this, Shi Lu came out of his fists and said: "The last general has also heard about the holy decree, and I have to say that the imperial court is really calculating, so it is easy to turn the rumors from all over the world to the big marshal, and now it is our Yong'an Army that is roasted on the fire." ”

Yang Liqing reacted and nodded: "Yes, in this way, it is impossible for the marshal to go or not, the emperor will not let the marshal come back alive, but if he doesn't go, it will become a disobedience to the holy decree, and what the court wants to do is justified, what is really a good calculation!" ”

"You must not go, how can the old emperor let go of the handsome!"

"yes!"

Gu San Mazi's gloomy face showed a look of emotion for the first time, hesitated for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Big handsome, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

After a glance, this Gu San Mazi doesn't like to talk much on weekdays, Xiao Yi nodded lightly, and motioned for Gu San Mazi to continue.

After getting Xiao Yi's permission, the three black dots on Gu Sanmazi's face continued to stir, and he opened his mouth and said: "Have you ever heard of the successive defeats of the officials and armies of Huguang provinces from the first month to the present. ”

Hearing this, a general manager in the hall suddenly answered.

"Don't talk about such a big thing, even an ordinary farmer has heard that after those thieves were beaten out of Shanxi, they intensified, eroding several provinces, not only winning battles, but also capturing the central capital Fengyang, destroying the imperial tomb, and doing a lot of evil!"

Although there are hundreds in Shanxi, this will not affect the great course of history.

Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other bandits were invincible in various places, and there were many officials and soldiers and homeless people who followed the thieves.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of this year, the thieves took advantage of the victory to go south to Fengyang, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and besieged the city for several days to capture it, Fengyang is the hometown of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and has long been called the land of Longxing by the Ming court, and Fengyang was captured by the thieves too suddenly.

After the thieves captured Fengyang, their prestige was greatly enhanced, they swept away the decline of several defeats in Shanxi, feasted and drank for several days, destroyed countless palaces of the emperor's mausoleum, burned Longxing Temple again, killed hundreds of eunuchs, and beheaded thousands of officers and soldiers who stayed behind in Zhu Guoxiang.

Thinking of this, Gu San Mazi glanced at Xiao Yi who was thoughtful with low eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Dashuai, I think that I can make a fuss about this matter, maybe the destiny has arrived!" ”

Hearing the word Mandate of Heaven in Gu Sanmazi's words, Shi Lu and Huang Yang were shocked in their eyes.

At this time, Liu Sheng came out of the column and hugged his fists and said: "What Sentry Gu said is right, my flying cavalry battalion has heard rumors everywhere, saying that it is the thief who erected the banner of the Guyuan True Dragon Emperor in Fengyang, and even our Shanxi territory is full of rumors. ”

"Oh? What do these rumors say? At this moment, Xiao Yi, who had been listening quietly, asked with interest.

Liu Sheng thought for a while: "This time the rumors in various places are not as good as in the past, there is an irrepressible trend, and there are still many words that have never been heard, but the most heard sentence recently is 'the imperial tomb is destroyed, the luck is gone, and it is time to change the dynasty'." ”

Xiao Yi muttered: "The imperial tomb is destroyed, the luck is gone, and it is time to change the dynasty." ”

Nodding, Liu Sheng continued: "There are similar nursery rhymes in various places, which have long been spread all over the world, maybe this is the time for the big handsome, that is, the destiny that the Jiannu often say!" ”

The capture of Fengyang, the central capital, caused the military and the people of the world to be shocked, and there were different opinions and rumors.

Some people say that this is the end of the Ming Dynasty, and some people say that this is a sign that the thieves will be prosperous, and unlike history, more people associate an incident that is happening with the capture of Fengyang.

This incident is Xiao Yi's open and secret struggle with the imperial court, and people all over the world generally think that Xiao Yi's Yong'an Army is a strong army in the world, and there has been no defeat since the formation of the army.

Last year's two battles before and after the settlement, more than 10,000 slaves and thieves were beheaded, and Xiao Yizhen's killing of the slave chief Dolgon was a fierce breath for the people who were plagued by the Tartars, but the official army was still worse than a year, not only defeated more than victorious, but also caused more serious harm to the people.

The capture of Fengyang is like a fuse, often at this time it is time to change the dynasty, many people say that this is the will of heaven, and there will be a person who will replace it.

Thinking of this person, almost everyone will invariably think of Xiao Yi, the former general who led the Yongan army to the south and the north in recent years, and won a hundred battles in the west, and now the Shanxi under Xiao Yi's jurisdiction is a prosperous and prosperous phenomenon.

At this moment, there was a clanging sound of iron armor leaves intersecting outside the door, and a Yong'an Army tiger gunner walked into the hall and hugged his fists.

"Qiqi Marshal, there is a man dressed as a literati outside the door, claiming to be a handsome old friend, and he wants to see the marshal for important things, saying that this matter is related to the luck of the Yongan army."

This is not a serious matter, at present, the Yongan Army is powerful all over the world, and the name of undefeated is already known at home, it is the time when it is thriving, how can it be unlucky.

Shi Gang said indifferently: "I'm afraid that a charlatan has come to cheat money, and if I take out a few taels of silver and send it away, how can our army conference be interrupted because of such a trivial matter." ”

The generals' views are similar to Shi Gang's, and no one thinks that the current Yong'an military spirit should be reminded by others.

The Tiger Gunner nodded, turned around and walked away without hesitation, apparently thinking the same.

But after walking a few steps, Xiao Yi suddenly beckoned and said lightly: "Let him come in, Ben Shuai wants to see which old friend it is." ”

Although everyone didn't know what to do, Xiao Ye had already given the order, and the rest of the people immediately kept silent, just standing aside and quietly waiting for this person to enter the hall.
