Chapter 62: Tianjin Wei
In the morning, the temple of Fengtian. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now is the time of the early dynasty, and the ministers of civil and military affairs are standing neatly and solemnly, but the face of Emperor Chongzhen on the dragon chair is not very good.
The Qing army destroyed the city wall in two ways and entered the pass, and had already joined the division in Tongzhou and plundered the Gyeonggi area.
Previously, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had many invasions and looting, such as the Manchu invasion in the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Eight Banners a total of 100,000 soldiers looted near the Beijing Division, conquered 12 cities, and obtained 179,820 people
They smeared the stolen Han folk beauties with heavy makeup on the car, played music like a triumph, and held high the wooden plank of "all officials are exempt". The Ming army was cowardly, but they just followed and watched the Qing army withdraw from the gate with their children full of golden silk.
This time the situation was unprecedentedly serious, Emperor Chongzhen was anxious, and after listening to the performance of the hundred officials, Emperor Chongzhen asked: "Chen Aiqing, where has Lord Lu's soldiers and horses arrived?" ”
Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, came out of the ranks and replied: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu commanded the three general soldiers of Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, and Hu Dawei, and has now arrived in Zhuozhou. ”
Zhuozhou is located in the south of the capital, not far from the capital.
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen Longyan was delighted, and said happily: "Okay, Lord Lu's soldiers and horses are finally coming, Chen Aiqing, how many soldiers and horses has Lord Lu brought over." ”
"This....this ....." Chen Xinjia hesitated.
Emperor Chongzhen had a bad premonition, and immediately his face changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Say, tell the truth." ”
Chen Xinjia lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Lu has brought less than 20,000 soldiers and horses. ”
What, less than 20,000 soldiers!
The civil and military officials immediately began to discuss in a low voice, everyone knows that this time the Manchu Qing Dynasty is more than 100,000 iron horsemen, and 20,000 soldiers and horses are used for a fart.
Xuan, Da, Shanxi three general soldiers eat too hard, this time the three general soldiers led less than 20,000 soldiers, seeing that Emperor Chongzhen is about to be angry, the first assistant of the cabinet Liu Yuliang came out of the ranks, and hurriedly played.
"Your Majesty is angry, although Lord Lu only has less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, tens of thousands of Guan Ning Iron Cavalry have entered the pass under the leadership of Gao Gonggong, and the safety of the capital should be worry-free."
Chen Xinjia also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the Qin King will also arrive one after another, plus the 20,000 elites of Governor Lu, they will definitely be able to drive the Tartars back to the outside of the pass." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's face was a little better.
………
Tianjin Wei.
Tianjin since ancient times because of the rise of Cao Yun, Ming Yongle two years officially built the city, this time of Tianjin, can only be regarded as a small city, not an international metropolis, not called Tianjin, but Tianjin Wei. At that time, Tianjin was the military establishment of the Wei Institute, called Tianjin Wei, which did not belong to the local division system.
Early morning.
A round of sunrise rose from the sea level, Emperor Chongzhen was in the early days of the dynasty, and the fleet led by Zhang Feng began to arrive at the port of Tianjin, and six transport ships, honking their whistles, began to approach the wharf.
"Whew!"
"Woo!!"
A whistle broke the tranquility of Tianjin Port in the early morning, there seemed to be not many people on the wharf, seeing the gradually approaching big ship, these people seemed to be more afraid, I don't know who shouted, there were not many people, and they ran away all at once.
Standing on the transport ship, Zhang Feng looked at the wharf and saw the houses not far away, but Zhang Feng was a little strange, and there seemed to be a depression and sadness in the air.
What's going on?
Wang Chaoyong stood next to Zhang Feng, and seemed to feel this abnormality, and said in wonder: "Chief soldier, it seems that something is wrong, you see, quietly." ”
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "It seems that the Tartars have just visited here not long ago, and they must have burned and looted." ”
Wang Chaoyong said in surprise: "This is the Tianjin Guard, there are at least thousands of soldiers in the guard, are these people all dead." ”
Zhang Feng said: "Order everyone to get off the boat, Commander Wang, take the guard company, and go to the city with me to have a look." ”
Wang Chaoyong hurriedly said: "Chief soldier, everything is unclear, whether to send someone to investigate first, and then talk about it after finding out the situation." ”
Zhang Feng said: "Even if there are Tartars, it is estimated that they will run away a long time ago." ”
With that, Zhang Feng got off the boat, took Wang Chaoyong, followed by two platoons of soldiers from the guard company, and everyone quickly advanced towards the Tianjin Acropolis, and the follow-up troops followed.
Tianjin Acropolis District has a high wall, short from north to south, long from east to west, the whole city wall is like a rectangle, like an abacus, it is "Abacus City". The city walls are densely packed with arrow stacks.
From afar, Zhang Feng saw the city wall of Tianjin Wei, there seemed to be a few wisps of green smoke in the city, Zhang Feng waved his hand and said: "Hurry, everyone hurry up, run forward!" ”
The gates were open, there was no one to defend them, almost all the shops in the city were closed, some of the houses seemed to have just been extinguished, and there were even undried blood stains on the streets.
The Tartar has long been gone, leaving a ruined city, and seeing an old woman holding a corpse crying next to the street, Zhang Feng's mood became inexplicably heavy.
"Commander Wang, order the troops, take over the whole city, guard the company, and I will go to the guard to command the embassy."
Tianjin Wei Command Department is located in the northwest corner of the city, when Zhang Feng brought people here, there were basically few people here, and after looking for it all over, only a few old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers were found.
Zhang Feng grabbed one of the soldiers and asked loudly, "Where have all the people here?" ”
The soldier said weakly: "Dead, all the people who didn't die ran away, and there were only a few of us left who couldn't run." ”
Zhang Feng asked again, the situation was basically clear, yesterday, hundreds of Manchu cavalry arrived here, the officers and soldiers stationed here were crushed at the touch of a button, and after dozens of people were killed, they quickly ran away, these Manchu cavalry burned and looted in the city for a whole day, and then took the looted food, money, and left.
"It's late." Zhang Feng said silently.
Next, Zhang Feng ordered the troops to rest and recuperate on the one hand, and send some people to comfort the victims, help bury the bodies, and repair the damaged houses.
The soldiers of the cooking class, according to Zhang Feng's instructions, set up a marching cauldron in the open space of the city to cook porridge and distribute it to the victims.
At the same time, the reconnaissance cavalry had already been dispatched, and the intelligence team of "Spirit Fox" Guan Peng disappeared without a trace as soon as they arrived in Tianjin, and immediately launched an intelligence espionage.
In two days, all kinds of information continued to come, and the Manchu Iron Cavalry, known as more than 100,000, had conquered six cities one after another, and looted countless people.
Lu Xiangsheng commanded Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi three general soldiers, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, and Hu Dawei, and has now arrived in Zhuozhou.
Wang Chaoyong said: "Chief soldier, everyone has been repairing for two days, all of them are alive and well, should we go to Zhuozhou immediately and meet with Lord Lu's soldiers and horses." ”
Zhang Feng is also regarded as the king of Qin, so Zhang Feng nodded and said: "Order the troops, start early tomorrow morning, leave Tianjin Wei, and march to Zhuozhou." ”
Wang Dynasty stood up bravely and said loudly: "Yes! ”
Seeing Wang Chaoyong turn around to convey his order, Zhang Feng thought in his heart that the area around the capital was already cloudy, and a big war was about to break out.
The next day, early in the morning.
Zhang Feng's team began to go out of the city, and the team was neat, three people in a row, and marched along the official road in the direction of Zhuozhou.
At the gate of the city, many ordinary people saw off Zhang Feng and others, although it was only two days, Zhang Feng's army was already deeply loved by the people.
In the past two days, the soldiers not only pacified the common people, but also cooked porridge for everyone, repaired houses, etc., and the common people clearly felt the difference in this army.
An old man, with gray hair, took Zhang Feng's hand, reluctant to let Zhang Feng leave, the old man trembled slightly: "General Zhang, I have lived a long time, and it is the first time I have seen such officers and soldiers, these two days, thank you so much." ”
Zhang Feng said: "Uncle, let's go to the battlefield, kill the Tartars, avenge the common people, avenge everyone!" ”
With tears in his eyes, the old man let go of Zhang Feng's hand and watched everyone leave.
……..
In the North China Plain, a horse and a flat river, Zhang Feng has been walking with the team for several hours, the time is almost noon, it is dozens of miles away from Tianjin, everyone is infantry, walking on two feet, and the limited war horse is given to the cavalry communication corps or cavalry scouts.
Wang Chaoyong ran over and asked loudly: "Chief soldier, everyone has been walking for more than an hour, do you want to rest in place." ”
The long-term practice of "Five Elements Exercises" has greatly improved his physique, and Zhang Feng himself is not tired, but considering that everyone has walked twenty or thirty miles, Zhang Feng waved his hand and said: "Pass my order and rest in place for a quarter of an hour." ”
After resting for a quarter of an hour, Zhang Feng was preparing everyone to continue to set off, only to see a cavalry scout galloping over, turning over and dismounting in front of Zhang Feng, standing upright, and reporting loudly: "Lord Commander, I found a Manchu cavalry in front, less than five miles away from us, with about a thousand people, robbing a lot of things, at least dozens of carriages, and the horses were full of things. ”
1,000 Manchu Iron Riders!
Zhang Feng suddenly came to his senses and shouted loudly: "Prepare to fight!! ”
