Chapter 236: The thieves enter Datong
No matter how they shouted and struggled, the three of them walked out calmly in the hands of the Yong'an Army's birds, the three of them did not squint, and pointed at Cao Biao and the others, and the surrounding soldiers and civilians raised their hearts to their throats, staring at the field, they wanted to see the scene of these three people flying flesh and blood with their own eyes.

With Xiao Yi's order, the sound of the last row of guns sounded as scheduled, and Cao Biao, Xiang Zhicheng, and Ma Chongen, the three officers who had relied on their subordinates to do evil and bullying people in the state city for many years, died with a whimper.
The people were jubilant and happy, and some were crying in pain while holding the corpse, and they chanted Xiao Yi's name in their mouths, it was Xiao Yi, who made them see new hope.
Such a big thing happened in the state city, Lin Pingran and Niu Peng were naturally also present, they were like other gentry, merchants, etc., they each stood with their servants, looking at the corpses of the chaotic soldiers in the field, they were all surprised by Xiao Yi's decisiveness in their hearts, and the cheers of the soldiers of the Yongan Army were still surrounded by the hearts of everyone.
Zhao Lianlian has been looking for someone, when she saw Zhou Baotai riding a horse and throwing He Qi's head underneath, she finally found the person she wanted to find, she looked at Zhou Baotai's back, and couldn't calm down for a long time.
……
On August 16, the third year of Chongzhen, the officers and soldiers of Ulzhou made a rebellion, and Xiao Yi, who was the supervisor of Ulzhou City at that time, led the army to suppress it, and arrested 303 people who were troublemakers, including many generals of Yuanzhou City, including Cao Biao, Xiang Zhicheng, and Ma Chongen, the chief of the rebels, and killed them outside the east gate.
The execution of hundreds of arrested rebels together this time has caused some impact, the chaos has been extinguished in an instant, the state city is stable, and the army and the people are called virtue!
Soon, the news spread to the Acropolis, and the Wei Commander and Garrison Zhao Ming were shocked when they heard it, and hurriedly summoned several people, including Wei Commander Tongzhi Qian Geng, Wei Commander Bai Chong'an, Wei Commander Wang Ke'an, Dong Jixiang, Lin Wan, Hu Yimao, Wei Commander Si Zhen Fu Si Zhen Fu Si Zhen Fu Chi Wanzheng, Wei Commander Si Cheng Si Cheng Wu Da and others to come to the discussion.
In addition to assisting Zhao Ming in managing the security affairs in the city, Zhao Ming and the soldier Nie Kegang discussed and decided to hand over all the training matters of the officers and soldiers of the Acropolis to Bai Chong'an.
The main factor to consider is Xiao Yi, Bai Chong'an's subordinate Xiao Yi fought bravely, this time to exterminate Wang Zimeng, he was actually ordered by Emperor Chongzhen to be the conduct of Ulzhou, they hoped that Bai Chong'an could promote a few more Xiao Yi.
The Acropolis is more cumbersome than Ulzhou City, and there are more people and things involved, even Bai Chongan has to be cautious in his words and deeds here, these days he has been fighting openly and secretly with the Acropolis and various groups inside and outside, and he has not had time to rest, and this day was suddenly called by Zhao Ming to discuss matters.
When he heard this, Bai Chongan was dumbfounded, he had only personally handed over the state city with Xiao Yi not long ago, and he had specially instructed him not to make a big move in the state city.
I didn't think that Xiao Yi didn't listen to his words at all, how long did it take for him to clean up the officers and soldiers of Yuanzhou City, and even Cao Biao and a few people were killed?!
Bai Chongan was surprised and kept muttering, how did Xiao Yi do it, he had worked hard in the state city to make them respect him for all these years, and he killed Cao Biao and others, who held the military power of the state city, less than five days after he took office.
Since then, the military and political power in Ulzhou City will naturally be firmly in the hands of Xiao Yi, and Wang Zhan of Nazhizhou has become a real verbal Zhizhou, and he cannot compete with Xiao Yi only with those people who are not as strong as the rebellious soldiers.
The people present were the main officials of the Acropolis, and when Xiao Yi was the defense of Peach Blossom Castle, Peach Blossom Fort was still a small place after all, and Zhao Ming, who was guarding it, didn't even care about it, but Ulzhou City had made such a big move recently, and Zhao Ming had to pay attention to it.
After carefully studying the official document submitted by Xiao Yi, they found that Xiao Yi had put down this disturbance in less than two hours?!
At present, there are more than a dozen cases of salaries of officers and soldiers in various parts of the Ming Dynasty every month, most of them are coming rapidly, and the imperial court can only be settled after many days of maneuvering, and the troubles in the state city are even more important, and it is completely impossible to exterminate them without spending months and half a year, how can Xiao Yi deal with it so thoroughly and quickly.
Xiao Yi is still his subordinate after all, Bai Chongan coughed lightly and said: "My lord, this matter is not a big deal, Xiao Yi has already dealt with it properly, I think Lord Bingxian does not want to pursue it more." ”
At this time, Hu Yimao, the commander, nodded and said: "Indeed, the lower official has heard that Lord Bingxian has some solicitation for Xiao Yi, and when Xiao Yi was appointed, he could see the clues, and the top priority was how to deal with the menacing thief. ”
Only then did everyone think that just this morning, the news that Wang Zishun had broken through the Pingxingling army and entered Datong had come, and the general Wang Han and others died on the wall, and the fire in the mountains and forests around Pingxingling lasted all night and was not extinguished.
Zhao Ming suddenly remembered something at this time, but the matter was already a little vague, and he asked: "This Xiao Yi, has he ever been appointed as the defense of Peach Blossom Castle?" ”
Wu Da came out and said: "Lord Hui, the rebellion in Peach Blossom Fort on June 28 was Xiao Yi's pacification, and Xiao Yi was the defense. ”
Zhao Ming nodded, that's right, at that time he just had a vague impression of this matter, and now he shook his head slightly after hearing it.
When he was in charge of the defense of Peach Blossom Fort, he disposed of almost all the officers and soldiers of Peach Blossom Fort, and now he has just arrived in Ulzhou and executed half of the officers and soldiers, although this is indeed correct, but it is inevitably a little too ruthless.
But Xiao Yi dealt with it very quickly this time, although he disposed of most of the officers and soldiers and cut off the heads of many people, but this is also a reflection of his outstanding ability, and there are very few people who can handle it well, and the year-end examination will be one of Xiao Yi's political achievements.
Zhao Ming groaned: "Cao Biao and a few people are clamoring for the officers and soldiers to make a disturbance, and Xiao Yi will deal with all of them, and let Xiao also transport the families of these three people to the Acropolis to be detained, and behead them on a day to show the public." ”
He continued: "Also, after the disposition of the chaotic troops in the state city, I am afraid that the defense force is insufficient, and now the thieves have entered Datong, and Xiao Yi is ordered to make up the number of troops. ”
Commander Qian Geng frowned and said: "I heard that Xiao Yiyong'an's army has many strong families, and the guards of the state city, presumably he should have a way to deal with it, at least the troops should be enough." ”
Zhao Ming nodded slowly, and everyone retreated.
……
The news of Wang Zishun's attack on Pingxing Ridge soon spread throughout Datong, and Han Shimeng, the chief officer of Datong, ordered Lingqiu to guard Xu Zizheng to guard the pass to strictly prevent the thieves from taking a step forward, and at the same time actively mobilized soldiers and horses from all over the country to prepare for a decisive battle with the thieves in Ulzhou.
After the garrison Xu Zizheng received the official letter, he immediately ordered his subordinates to strictly defend the forts, dun guards, and civil forts, and the whole territory was under martial law, and the watchout beacon was ready to fight at any time.
On the 18th day of July in the third year of Chongzhen, two days have passed since Wang Zishun broke through the Pingxing Ridge, and in these two days, he incorporated the nearby bandits, rogues, and horse gangs into the army one by one.
The three major villages of Dazhai Tou Chaotianlong, Yinchai Ridge Mother Big Worm, and Gunfeng Ridge Stepping Snake are also invested in the command of Wang Zishun this time, and there are more than a dozen poles of square circle size to vote, and the prince is mighty and has entered the peak.
Subsequently, the prince marched through Lingqiu, garrisoned Xu Zizheng, and recruited the people to help defend the city.
Looking at the tall walls of Lingqiu City, the big flags planted on the city walls, Wang Zishun hesitated, the garrison here has such courage.
Although he can also capture Lingqiu, but he will cause unnecessary losses, this time his purpose is not to do this, he wants to use the power of thunder to attack Ulzhou, and directly destroy Xiao Yi and his Yongan army.
Let the people of the world see, in this Taiyuan Mansion realm, his prince Shun is the king of heaven!
The peasant army passed in front of Lingqiu City like a tide, although Xu Zizheng had the courage to scatter his wealth to recruit volunteers to defend the city, but he did not have the courage to lead the army out of the city to stop tens of thousands of Liukou, he could only look at the surging peasant army in fear.
As for where Liukou goes, this is not something he should worry about, the peasant army does not attack Lingqiu is already his own creation, and it is the most important thing to keep his official position in the next court liquidation. (To be continued.) )
