Chapter 407: The Edict
Dashikou is about 30 miles south of Yingzhou City, and the locals also call it Dashigu, Dashikou Fort, etc. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Compared with Dashikou, Xiao also prefers to call it Dashiguguan, where the terrain is dangerous, it is the only way to enter Datong by Zhenwuwei, and it has always been one of the important places for mutual business between Datong Town and Saiwai City.
"History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Zhang Qi" has a cloud: "Those who make Ziyun, Ying, and Wei all enter from Dashi Valley." ”
According to the booklet, the general Huang Shizheng led 561 infantry troops and 86 horse troops stationed in Dashikou.
When Huang Yang arrived with a battalion in battle, he found that the total number of officers and soldiers in this place was only 200, of which the horsemen were less than 50.
Not only that, the city wall here is also dilapidated, many sections of the city wall have collapsed and damaged, and the artillery and firearms on the city are less than 100.
Huang Yang immediately began to issue Xiao Yi's disarmament order at Dashigu Pass, and all the old and weak officers and troops in the original Guancheng were abolished, and more than 1,000 members of the Zhenwei Battalion of the Dashigu General Garrison were recruited by the Yong'an Army to 'assist' the general Huang Shizheng to defend it.
I have to say that Huang Shizheng, the general of Dashigu Pass, is very cooperative with Huang Yang's work, and he is also the first general-level general to express full support for the dismissal.
This surprised Xiao Yi very much, Xiao Yi naturally wanted to give Huang Shizheng a sweetness and left him some more personal guards, which also made Huang Shizheng quite grateful.
At this moment, Huang Shizheng brought his own family team, and Quan Shan came to greet him with the generals of the Zhenwei Battalion of the General Commander of Dashigu Pass.
This Huang Shizheng was dressed in old iron armor, wearing a standard iron helmet on his head, and a circle of beards that were not luxuriant were placed on his national face, looking quite a decent person.
While Xiao Yi looked at this Huang Shizheng lightly, Huang Shizheng was also looking at the world-famous Xiao Dashuai in front of him with apprehension, and he couldn't stop being surprised in his heart.
Who would have thought that the commander of the Yong'an Army, known as the ever-victorious Iron Army, would be so young, I'm afraid he would not even be thirty years old.
Even if the Yong'an Army is thrown away, Xiao Yi is such a young handsome, and it is rare to have time!
Huang Shizheng suddenly thought of himself, he was nearly forty years old but had been unknown, he thought that he was going to spend the rest of his life in this small broken Dashikou, but Xiao Yi's arrival made him see the last opportunity in his life.
At the moment, he hugged his fist at Xiao Yiyi, and said loudly: "Xiao Shuai, please enter the customs!" ”
Nodding, with Xiao Yi's order, the sound of rumbling steps sounded again, and the ninth battalion of the Yongan Army soldiers entered Dashigu Guancheng.
After entering Guancheng, Xiao Yi did not rush south, but used the cattle, sheep and dry food carried by the army to start cooking in the Guancheng.
Xiao Yi did not have the slightest handsome shelf, and took Huang Yang and other senior officers of the Yong'an Army into the barracks, and sat with the soldiers of the Yong'an Army and the soldiers of the Zhenwei Battalion, eating a big pot of rice happily, full of aroma.
This made Huang Shizheng incomprehensible at all, and he agreed that generals had to be distinguished from ordinary soldiers in order to have prestige.
But this is not the case with Xiao Yi, whose prestige has never been obtained in this way.
In the knee-to-knee conversation with the soldiers of the Yong'an Army, the sergeants of the Zhenwei Battalion and Huang Shizheng's family found that the people of the Yong'an Army were not as rumored, and they did not have a little arrogance, but they quickly chatted with each other.
The sergeants and families of the local Zhenwei battalion gathered together, opened their shining eyes, and listened to the veterans of the war battalion tell them about the battles since they joined the army.
Looking at these, the onlookers had uncontrollable envy on their faces.
The Yong'an Army repaired in Dashigu Pass for five or six days, and every day there were bursts of meat fragrance and singing military songs, but there was no intention of going south to the pass.
During this period, although everyone was surprised in their hearts, no one went to Xiao Yi to ask why.
Xiao also did this, there must be a deep meaning, they asked what to do so carefully, and obeyed the order.
......
On September 20, the fifth year of Chongzhen, a Jinyi Wei report and Shanxi Mansion newspaper were presented to Chongzhen's imperial case.
Chongzhen didn't hesitate, and directly grabbed the newspaper from Shanxi, compared to the trivial things in the Jinyi Wei newspaper, Chongzhen was more concerned about whether the thieves were exterminated, and took a few deep breaths before opening it.
Although the imperial court responded, the situation in Shanxi continued to deteriorate and gradually develop in an uncontrollable direction, and on September 14, the day before Xiao Yi and Yong'an troops arrived at Dashigu Pass.
Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, and Xu Dingchen, the governor of Xuanzhen, Baoding Mansion and other prefectures and counties, had more than 30,000 officers and troops, and encountered tens of thousands of troops under Zijinliang and Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings.
According to the officials and soldiers who fled back, the two armies fought fiercely for half a day, and the peasant army besieged on all sides, covering the sky and the sun like flying locusts, and the fierce fighting lasted all day, and the officers and troops were naturally defeated, and the rest of the troops retreated to the city and could not hold out.
Subsequently, the head of King Gao Yingxiang, the eighth team of Li Zicheng led an old battalion, coerced more than 10,000 hungry people to the north to capture Xiuwu County, opened a warehouse to release grain, and killed Liu Fengxiang in Zhixian County.
Gao Yingxiang praised Li Zicheng for being 'brave and promising', and Li Zicheng became a great prestige in the peasant army.
"Bang!"
"Zhang Zongheng, Xu Dingchen, what are they eating, and the tens of thousands of troops in the towns of Xuanda can't help but be just thieves!?"
After reading it, Chongzhen's face flushed, and he was furious.
The palace maids and eunuchs serving behind him were all trembling, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, and they didn't dare to move, for fear that Chongzhen, who was in anger, would be angry with himself.
After roaring, Chongzhen looked at Zhou Yanru, the head of the cabinet on the side, and asked.
"What about the Yong'an Army, haven't you fought with the thieves yet?"
As the first assistant, Zhou Yanru's every move needs to be done at a glance, not to mention that in front of the emperor, there is no room for carelessness in a word.
Hearing Chongzhen's words, Zhou Yanru said respectfully: "Playing the Holy Lord, Xiao Yi and the Yong'an Army went south as early as the second day when the Holy Decree arrived in Datong, and it should be almost there at this time." ”
"Hmm."
Hearing this, Chongzhen's face became a little better, and he picked up the book of Jinyiwei's recital, and said while opening it: "This Xiao Yi is still knowledgeable about current affairs, and knows that everything he has been given by me..."
Before he finished speaking, Chongzhen's face began to be cloudy again, and then his hands were trembling angrily, and he couldn't even speak.
"It's a big rebellion, it's a big rebellion!"
Zhou Yanru on the side looked at Chongzhen's reaction, and looked at Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was standing opposite, although Luo Yangxing saw Zhou Yanru's inquiring expression, he didn't make the slightest performance, but buried his head lower.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yanru naturally knew whether the news was good or bad, and he kept silent.
"Presumptuous!"
"What a Xiao Yi, doesn't he know that everything he has is given by me, and it is all given by the imperial court, without me adding officials to him, where did he come from the name of the Yong'an Army, he has won several battles, and he actually dares to disobey the order and garrison the troops!"
"I'm really blind, I actually saw such a big rebel person wrong!"
"Is he threatening me?"
Zhou Yanru wondered even more, didn't Xiao Yi already lead the Yongan army south, why Chongzhen was still so angry, with such a question, Zhou Yanru looked at the song that was still on the ground by Chongzhen, and suddenly aroused a cold sweat.
Although the Yong'an army quickly dispatched troops, it took half a month to reach Yingzhou, which was not enough, and it was even more stagnant after arriving at Dashikou, and seven or eight days passed, and there was no intention of going out of the customs at all.
Zhou Yanru looked at Emperor Chongzhen, who was trembling with anger, and was about to speak, but Chongzhen shouted a word.
"What a Xiao Yi, this is to think that my Ming Dynasty will not be able to pacify the thief without him, and without the Yongan Army, he will not be able to destroy the captives!"
Chongzhen waved his big hand and said coldly: "Pai Ti rode to Dashikou to arrest Xiao Yi, no!" Luo Yangxing, you go in person, take Ti to ride to Dashikou to arrest Xiao thief, go to prison, and the three divisions will be tried!! If such a traitor does not bring him to justice, how can I face the subjects of the world! ”
Hearing this, Luo Yanghe and Zhou Yanru were shocked, especially Luo Yangxing, and let himself take Jinyiwei to arrest Xiao Yi!?
Isn't this going to deliver food?
