February 11, outside the city of Datong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Yi ascended to the army control platform alone, with the towering Wangyun Pavilion behind him, covered with silver shining iron armor, and under the city were more than 100,000 soldiers of the Yongan Army battalions with their sleeves connected.

Looking at the soldiers in steel armor and iron armor under the city, Xiao Yi's heart was surging.

At the beginning, survival was the only thought in his heart, and he never thought about rewriting history, and even for the Ming Dynasty, the last dynasty of the Han family, Xiao Yi has always had hope.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi inadvertently clenched his fists, but Chongzhen touched his bottom line again and again!

disappointed the whole world again and again, and disappointed the soldiers of the Yong'an Army who fought for it, and in hindsight, Xiao also found that he had the power to swing the course of history.

So, will you still be willing to be an ordinary martial artist at the mercy of others?

The answer is no, no one will still be in a corner of peace and not want to make progress when he holds power, even Li Zicheng had the dream of changing the dynasty when he held hundreds of thousands of troops.

Although he did not have the hundreds of thousands of grass soldiers in his hands that Li Zicheng had a few years later, he had more than 100,000 elites who had experienced battles, ranging from the baggage battalion to the vehicle artillery battalion.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but ask himself, he Li Zicheng can do it with hundreds of thousands of thieves, why can't I, Xiao Yi, do it with 100,000 elite soldiers!?

Suddenly, Xiao Yi took out the Qi family knife that had accompanied him for nearly six years, and waved it to the north under the fluttering of the military flag, which was the direction of the Ming Jingshi.

All the soldiers of the Yong'an Army are enthusiastic, this is the moment to change the dynasty, Xiao Yi's knife, let all of them see a rising new dynasty, as long as this last battle is won, they will all be heroes!

"The traitor is right in front of you, all the soldiers, are you willing to follow me Xiao Yi into the Beijing Division, leave a name in history, create a meritorious career through the ages, and promote my Yong'an military prestige for 10,000 years!"

Xiao Yi stepped firmly on the edge of the city wall with one foot, wielding a shiny steel knife in his hand, not saying much, but the words were sonorous and powerful.

Seeing the figure like the god of war, all the soldiers of the Yongan Army couldn't help but raise the tiger spear and waist knife in their hands, and let out that earth-shaking roar in unison.

"Ten thousand years of Yong'an Army!" "Ten thousand years of Yong'an Army!!"

Looking at the dense soldiers under the city, Xiao Yi actually calmed down in his heart, and suddenly realized that this is only the first step for him today, if he wants to achieve a hegemony, so that the Han family can rise again in this turbulent seventeenth century, and no longer lag behind the world, he still has a long way to go.

......

Not long after the peasant army raised the banner of 'Guyuan Zhenlong Emperor' in a vain attempt to seize the opportunity of public opinion, Shanxi released a bombshell news.

On February 21 of the eighth year of Chongzhen, that is, the day after Xiao Yishangshu, Xiao Yiqin, the general of Shanxi and the former general of the expedition to the west, led more than 100,000 soldiers from the ninth battalion of the Yongan Army to the north.

Xiao also listened to Zuo Miaocai's suggestion, on the one hand, spread rumors in various places, which would make songs like "the emperor's tomb is destroyed, and the luck is gone" spread more quickly throughout the north and south.

On the other hand, he released the slogan of 'Qing Jun's side, punish the traitors', and suppressed Gyeonggi with the power of thunder.

What kind of army is the Yong'an Army, the people of the world already know, the Yong'an Army, which is known as undefeated, is going north, and the goal is to take the Beijing Division, but the current land of Daming Jinggi can be described as extremely empty.

Not long ago, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three provinces, led tens of thousands of officers and troops to attack, but was defeated by the peasant army, resulting in the fall of Fengyang, the central capital.

Emperor Chongzhen had just issued an edict, and Lu Xiang was promoted to the governor of the five provinces, with the only Tianxiong army capable of fighting with the Yong'an army and the last troops in the land of Gyeonggi to encircle and suppress the peasant army, but he was stuck in the quagmire for a period of time and could not extricate himself.

It can be seen that when Xiao Yi led the Yongan army to the north, the peasant army and the official army were in the midst of a fierce battle, and the last official army was led by Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, and the east and west were firmly contained by the peasant army.

As a result, the real obstacle to the northward journey of the Yongan Army is only one important town, which is Xuanfu Town.

Xuanzhen is a close neighbor of Datong, stationed heavy troops all the year round, and the officers and soldiers who have been transferred from Xuanzhen for many years but rarely moved Xuanzhen heard that the Yongan army gathered on the border and was about to go north, Li Mingfu, the chief soldier of Xuanzhen, was shocked, and he naturally knew that the shrimp soldiers and crabs under his command would have a few catties and a few taels.

If Pingsuri gets together and does not move, it can still play a deterrent role, but at this time, the Yong'an army has already made up its mind to go north, if once the fight starts, it will be completely exposed, and there are no other reinforcements around, defeat is inevitable.

From the general soldier Li Mingfu to an ordinary soldier, no one thought that the officers and troops of Xuanzhen could win the Yong'an army, which was known as the undefeated Yong'an army, which beheaded tens of thousands of Jiannu.

The land of Gyeonggi can be said to be two extremes, the people are cheering when they hear that the Yongan army is about to go north, but the officials and soldiers are terrified all day long after hearing it.

On 25 February, the vanguard of the Yong'an Army had just arrived at Yongjia Fort on the border of Datong, and Li Mingfu, the chief soldier of Xuanzhen, flew a hundred miles to report to the Beijing Division, and Xuanzhen was in an emergency.

Hearing that Xuanzhen was in an emergency, the land of Gyeonggi was even more panicked.

On the 27th, Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair with a sad face and a haggard face.

This Chongzhen eight years can be said to be the most unpleasant year Chongzhen has ever had, February 15 is the Spring Festival, these days the Beijing master wind howling all day long, the haze continues, even if there are astrologers asserted.

"The haze is a sign of chaos."

At that time, Chongzhen didn't believe it, but what happened next couldn't help but he didn't believe it, first of all, the news of the successive routs of the official army, in fact, this is nothing, the rout of the official army has been a common thing for many years.

On the first day after the Spring Festival, Emperor Chongzhen came to the Huangji Hall early, beat his spirit, and waited for hundreds of officials to come to congratulate.

But no one came, and the officials were collectively late for the court meeting on the first day of the new year, which was simply too rare and strange, thinking of the haze and the assertions of the astrologers these days, Chongzhen gradually began to get upset.

The news that came immediately afterwards made Chongzhen even more horrified, the central capital Fengyang fell, the imperial tomb of the Zhu family was destroyed, and the Longxing Temple was burned by thieves!

According to the words of the eunuchs in the palace at that time, Chongzhen immediately howled and cried, and then did not eat water and rice for a few days, and lost weight in a few days.

The first thing Chongzhen did when he left the palace was to order the killing of the astrologer, and the city wantonly searched for the warlock to be imprisoned, followed by Emperor Chongzhen's edict to order hundreds of officials to go to the Taimiao, and pray and burn incense to the previous emperors, so as to bless the Ming Dynasty and the people.

But God seemed to be determined to oppose Emperor Chongzhen, and it didn't take long for Emperor Chongzhen to learn from Jinyiwei's mouth about the rumors that were rising in various places, these rumors were plausible, but they all had one thing in common.

"Daming's luck is exhausted, and the dragon vein will prosper in Datong!"

Holding the recitals of the Jinyi guards from all over the country, Chongzhen paced back and forth in the hall, muttering: "Datong, Datong..."

Suddenly woke up, looked back and said: "Isn't Datong the jurisdiction of Xiao Yi, Pavilion Elder, how long has it been that Xiao Yi has come to Jingshi?" ”

Hearing this, Wen Tiren said: "Qi Shengshang, it has been a month now, and that Xiao is also disobedient to the holy decree, and he is also a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he will not come to Beijing." ”

Nodding, Chongzhen looked at the palace and nodded: "In this case, spread his disobedience to the world, and after the thieves are exterminated, Xiao Yi will be arrested and sent to Beijing to await trial!" ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

Suddenly, another eunuch ran back with small steps, and Wen Tiren immediately scolded.

"The hall is in a panic, what kind of system, can the sky still collapse!"

If it was usual, this eunuch might have shuddered and confessed, but now he didn't react, and directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is not good!"

Chongzhen looked over, a little uneasy in his heart, frowned and asked, "What happened, so flustered?" ”

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi rebelled, Your Majesty!"

"That Xiao is also under the banner of purging traitors, saying that if he is not crowned king, he will bring the Yongan army to the capital to fight the emperor!"

This eunuch also kept an eye on it, and didn't just say Wen Tiren's name.

Chongzhen couldn't believe his ears, walked up to the eunuch, and trembled: "What? That thief dared to do this! He is not afraid of being attacked by the world!? ”

As soon as the words fell, another eunuch ran and shouted.

"Your Majesty, Xuanzhen is in a hurry! Xiao Yi led the Yong'an army into Xuanzhen, and Li Mingfu urgently asked the imperial court to send reinforcements to the emperor! ”

Hurriedly took the urgent report, Chongzhen looked lost after reading it, and staggered to the edge of the dragon chair and sat down, muttering.

"It's... This turned out to be true, that thief really dared to rebel!? ”

"Reinforcements... Where are the reinforcements in Gyeonggi now? ”

When the words came out, all the ministers in the palace knelt on the ground, but they did not offer a word.
