Chapter 400: Precursors

Lin Dan Khan, who had a headache in the Ming court, heard that the Houjin army was attacking from the labor expedition and the lone army, and he didn't even gather troops and horses to resist, and directly led Chahar and other troops to collapse for thousands of miles, and even fled to Qinghai. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the same time, the court was full of ridicule, and the civil officials were ashamed of it, and it was really arrogant that such a weak Mongolia dared to call it a great power.

But they forgot one thing, will the Houjin people who unified Mo Nan stop here?

The answer is no, although the Houjin people have obtained a lot of pigs, horses, cattle and sheep and herdsmen in various Mongolian tribes, this is far from worth the Huang Taiji who mobilized the people.

After hearing that the Jin soldiers broke into the border wall of Xuanda from Monan and plundered, the important ministers of the Beijing Division, who were laughing at the Mongols, also tasted the taste of the Mongols, and they were all shocked, but they couldn't offer a single plan, and they were just panicked all day long.

In the huge Gyeonggi, under the edict of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of King Qin were continuously gathered from all over the country, but the imperial court still felt that it was not enough, and the messengers asking for help from King Qin were still coming to various places.

Of the hundreds of thousands of Qinwang troops, none of the generals dared to go to battle to Xuanzhen to intercept Houjin, and even less than even having the courage to send a horse to investigate.

After arriving, he just gathered around the Jingshi, praying all day long that Houjin would not repeat the changes that had occurred in the second year of Chongzhen.

Finally, a few months later, a rider came from the town of Datong.

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Yong'an army went out to fight Houjin, annihilated 5,000 enemies in a battle, and directly defeated the Jurchen Mongol coalition army in another battle, beheading more than 7,000 ranks.

Xiao Yi's prestige once again made the Ming Jingshi, which had stood for more than two hundred years, tremble fiercely, and the officials of the Five Cities Terracotta Division even heard that several folk songs had spread near the Jingshi in recent days.

"The hateful Tartars enter the customs as a disaster, and there are court officers and soldiers, who are not of great use; The army of expectation is the way of heaven, and there is a strong army of 100 victories to benefit the people. ”

This was just one of them, and countless folk songs spread all over Gyeonggi, and of course, these ballads soon reached the ears of Emperor Chongzhen through the mouths of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses and the Jinyi Guard.

You can imagine what kind of angry scene the self-righteous Emperor Chongzhen will be when he hears these ballads.

So, at the end of August of the fifth year of Chongzhen, there was finally a decision on Xiao Yi's great victory, and several horsemen set off from Beijing with the holy decree, and the goal was where Xiao Yi was located in Datong Town.

......

Not to mention how the Jingshi thundered, Xiao Yi led the Yongan army to return to Datong Town, singing a triumphant song and returning to Datong Town, each of whom had at least a few Tartar heads hanging on their waists, including Jurchens and more Mongols.

Originally, such a bloody scene was very terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people, but the soldiers and civilians of Zhencheng did not feel this way.

Just because they all know that every head of the Yongan Army soldiers hanging on their waists is a real Tartar head, and none of them are good and risky.

The soldiers and civilians who came to greet them that day were not only congested in the streets and alleys of the city, but even covered the official roads outside the town.

Among the people who came were not only ordinary people who had received Xiao Yi's favor and got a new life, but even some merchants and clans came to congratulate.

For the first batch of merchants and clans who came to show their goodwill, Xiao was also kind and pleasant to them, and gave them a reassurance.

In fact, many local wealthy families and merchants did not want to be enemies of the Yong'an Army, and after this group of people had good results, the rest of the people naturally came in an endless stream.

Naturally, you can't come empty-handed, everyone brings some gifts more or less, Xiao Yiru received them, and he made a small payment, which also made these people feel a lot more at ease, and both sides of this team are beneficial.

At this time, after Xiao Yi led the army away, Dong Yinghua, who commanded the Zhenwei battalion to guard the town, finally completed his mission, and was overjoyed when he heard that Xiao Yi had returned victoriously.

Because Dong Yinghua, Li Erniu and others are now directly linked to Xiao Yi's interests, the stronger Xiao Yi and Yong'an Jun are, the more he Dong Yinghua will rise, and Li Erniu's status and wealth in Ulzhou will remain unchanged day by day.

But if the Yong'an army is defeated and destroyed, he Dong Yinghua is afraid that he will be divided by the angry Hao clan and the five horses, and the peaceful picture of Ulzhou will not last long.

On the same day, Xiao Yi patted Dong Yinghua's shoulder in front of everyone's eyes, and said cordially: "On behalf of all the soldiers of the Yongan Army, this army also wants to thank Lord Dong for his loyalty to his duties over the past few days, so that we can fight abroad with peace of mind and make meritorious contributions!" ”

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, the people around him all cast envious and awe-inspiring eyes on Dong Yinghua, it seems that this Dong Yinghua is Xiao Yi's henchman, and he will have to have a good time in the future.

Dong Yinghua, who has always been unsmiling, seemed very excited at the moment, and couldn't cry.

After the Yong'an army settled in the town, it did not take over the defense of the Zhenwei battalion, because these days of expedition allowed Xiao Yi to see the feasibility of the Zhenwei battalion's garrison guarding the place, training the soldiers, and the Yong'an army going out to fight and making meritorious contributions.

The role of these Zhenwei battalion soldiers is also unexpected, and Xiao Yi is unexpected, and he can also take the Yongan Army out to fight with peace of mind in the future.

The soldiers of the Zhenwei battalion are often recruited from the local people who have families, although they are far inferior to the Yong'an army in terms of combat power and prestige, but they are much stronger than the original Ming official army, and there are many people, so it is natural to defend the place.

Xiao Yi led the army back from a great victory, and the entire town was as festive as a New Year's holiday, but one place was thunderous and angry, and the wind was loud, and that was Huangfu.

Huang Yunfa did all the calculations, and he couldn't have imagined that even Dolgon was defeated in the hands of Xiao Yi, a mere martial artist, and it was a big defeat.

Although the inlaid white flag was not damaged, the Zhengbai flag, which was the strongest in the Dolgon lineage, was completely lost and had almost been dispersed by the Yong'an army, which did not surprise Huang Yunfa.

Huang Yunfa is a businessman, what he is best at is observing words and observing the situation, today's general trend, it is clear that the imperial court is declining, the Houjin is rising strongly, and Dolgon is a rare civil and military all-round talent in the Houjin, it is not wrong to press the treasure on him.

Huang Yunfa is indeed right, in the history without Xiao Yi, the Houjin trip plundered Datong, and no one could stop him from returning with a full load, and Huang Yunfa also got a rare business opportunity, secretly transporting ordnance, grain and grass for the Houjin army, and making a lot of money.

But this time, the Houjin people were defeated by the Yongan army without even breaking through the settlement, and hastily ended the siege and plunder, which was a heavy loss for the Huang family.

But Huang Yunfa was pacing back and forth in the lobby at the moment, his eyes were anxious for not this, it was his secret deal with Dolgon, whether Xiao Yi would know about it.

Pacing in the lobby for a long time, listening to the bustle of gongs and drums outside, Huang Yunfa suddenly smiled, sat on the fragrant wood chair and picked up a teacup and took a drink.

laughed at himself: "No, no, no..."Could it be that Xiao Yi still dares to do something to his Huang family, the Huang family's power is everywhere, even from the imperial court, there are internal lines, dare to attack the Huang family, and Xiao Yi can't do it!?

Just after a few sips, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a person who looked like a butler hurriedly walked over, his face full of horror.

"Master, master, it's not good, the Yong'an Army came to the door, saying that they were going to raid our Huang Mansion!"

"Click!"

The tea in Huang Yunfa's hand was crushed by the cup, and regardless of the pain in his hand, Huang Yunfa stood up suddenly: "Raid my Huang Mansion, how dare Xiao Yi!" ”

It seemed that in response to Huang Yunfa's self-deceptive question, there were bursts of footsteps outside the door of the mansion, and Shi Lu's words outside the door came into the door, and this indifferent voice made the family members in the mansion tremble secretly.

"The big businessman Huang Yunfa has thousands of private soldiers! Resist the search! colluding with the Jurchen Tatars, secretly transporting military supplies, and bringing disaster to the country and the people, his crime should be punished! ”

"According to the military order of Xiao Yi, the chief military officer of Datong Town, the second battalion of the Yongan Army seized the Huangfu, and if there is resistance, it is not necessary to kill!"

After Shi Lu finished speaking, more than 2,000 soldiers of the Yongan Army cheered neatly outside the door.

"Once there is resistance, it doesn't matter if you kill, kill!"

Huang Yunfa chuckled in his heart, and muttered miserably: "It's over... It's all over..."

......

His housekeeper looked at Huang Yunfa in front of him, how could he still have the high-spirited appearance in the past, as if he was a different person.

It seems that he has aged dozens of years in an instant, and in a blink of an eye, he has become an old man in his last years from a high-spirited giant businessman, although he has a great career, but under the absolute military power of the Yongan Army, he seems so weak and can't help it.

Everyone didn't expect that the Yong'an Army, which had just returned triumphantly, did not relax because of the victory, and did not even celebrate once.

That night, the guerrilla general Shi Lu led more than 2,000 people from the second battalion to drain the water in the Huangfu Siege, and the pacification officer Dong Yinghua led the sergeants of the Zhenwei battalion to check the wealthy families of several associations from the Huang family.

Liu Tong mobilized hundreds of tiger cannons, and the thick mahogany walls and majestic stone lions of the Yellow Mansion were all bombarded in an instant in front of the Yong'an army, and the subordinates of the family screamed in shock.

After hearing the news, in order to prevent casualties, Xiao also sent a battalion of Huangyang to support Shi Lu.

There are only more than 1,000 soldiers in those soldiers, even if they all have some fists and feet, in the face of more than 4,000 heavily armed Yongan soldiers, they are just mantis arms as a car, and they are not able to measure themselves, and a faint bloodshed permeates the entire Huangfu.

However, Xiao Yi is very clear about right and wrong, although he will kill the people of the Huang family and the family, he has a strict order not to deal with those maids and servants.

This is the difference between a strong army and a miscellaneous army, if it is an ordinary army, who will care whether you have military orders or not, and the original raid will immediately turn into a big chaos.

However, after receiving Xiao Yi's military order, the soldiers of the Yong'an Army immediately carried it out meticulously, and every commander was strictly restraining his subordinates.

Even when they rushed into the Yellow Mansion to fight with their families, the soldiers of the Yong'an Army turned a blind eye when they saw the maids and servants who fled in terror, and the soldiers who were waiting around them also let him go home.

However, under this policy, it is natural that some people will put on the clothes of maids and servants and want to escape from the Yellow Mansion, and most of these people are recognized and shouted and beaten by the onlookers.

In addition to turning a blind eye to those weak women who were not threatening, the men of the Huang family who fled were all killed on the spot by the soldiers of the Yong'an Army who lined up.

The next day, the five battalions of the Yongan Army took Xiao Yi's military order and drove out of Datong Town with neat steps and went in five ways.

Their war is not over, it has just begun.
