In addition, the south and Shandong, during this time, they have sent thousands of recruits who have completed the initial training, these recruits are different from those recruits who are recruited on the spot, these recruits have received initial training in Denglai and other places in the area controlled by the military of Yujia, and can already be put into combat use, although they have not passed the test of real blood and fire, but they have basically completed various primary training subjects in accordance with the training curriculum of Yujiajun, and the execution of orders has reached the minimum requirements that can be used!

Therefore, after they arrived, the soldiers lost in the battles of each unit were replenished, and they reached a state of full strength.

In addition, a new batch of supplies has also arrived at Dagukou, and they have been quickly supplied to the various departments, replenishing the food and ammunition they had consumed in large quantities some time ago, and repairing or replacing the damaged weapons, so that all brigades have quickly returned to the strongest combat state.

Although there were several major battles with the Jiannu army and the official army, the soldiers of each unit were more tired, but the morale was very high, and the generals of the Yu family army thoroughly tested their combat ability during this period of battle, so that they had stronger confidence, which is particularly important, an army full of determination to win, the combat effectiveness is strong, it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

After experiencing such a series of huge battles, these Yu family troops have accumulated a large number of experience in the operation of large corps, which has made their tactical coordination on the battlefield more perfect.

Although the soldiers are fast, there is still a saying that speed is not enough, which is also the reason why Yu Xiaotian let the army stop to rest after thwarting Wu Xiang's attack on Tianjin Wei.

Taking advantage of this time, the intelligence system of the sea wolf in the entire north and even all parts of the country was also operating in full force, and there was a war of words with the imperial court.

These intelligence officers of the sea wolves were ordered to start spreading all kinds of wrongs about the recent imperial court, shouting grievances for Yu Xiaotian, and the provincial court unilaterally controlled the right of public opinion, and attributed all the faults to Xiaotian, for the next military action of the Yu family's army, to win the hearts and minds of the people, at the very least, to muddy the waters first, and then say, the public opinion of the province fell to the court side.

Especially in Beizhili and Shandong, this kind of propaganda is even more violent, because the Jiannu into the Koukou is particularly strict for the civil destruction of these two provinces, and the common people of the people especially hate the Jiannu army, and they also have a painful and disappointed feeling for the incompetence of the imperial court.

Yu Xiaotian led the troops to destroy Jiannu in Tianjin, this news undoubtedly brought great prestige to Yu Xiaotian, and under the deliberate propaganda of the intelligence officers of the sea wolf, Yu Xiaotian was portrayed as a righteous man who was not afraid of danger, and would rather resist the decree than turn the tide.

And he then led the army and the Ming court against each other, and the Ming official army fought a big fight, this matter is all wrong with the court, he Yu Xiaotian is to fight against the Jiannu army, to save the world, but the court regards him as a traitor, ignores his merits, but also puts him to death, in this way, many people who do not know the truth will naturally tend to sympathize with Xiaotian.

The common people have a rod and scale in their hearts, their loyalty to the Ming court, is only established under the hundreds of years of prestige of the Ming court, there is no loyalty at all, the national consciousness in this era, the people are actually quite weak, the people think more about who can bring them benefits, who can let them live and work in peace and contentment, as for who will sit in this world, many of them do not care.

Now Yu Xiaotian has issued a letter to ask for Ming, playing the banner of wanting to enter Beijing and the Qing monarch, and did not explicitly say that he wanted to create a rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, but just wanted to enter Beijing to take down those unscrupulous ministers who eat people and do not do personnel, and a certain kind of Cheng Dù has also greatly reduced the hostile attitude of ordinary people towards him.

Now the Ming Dynasty is getting worse, the officials of the government and those officials are tyrannical, and the court has increased the salary every year, which has already made the ordinary people miserable, and now Yu Xiaotian openly proclaims that once he enters the side of the Qing monarch in Beijing, he will be exempted from all kinds of additional salaries and taxes, re-measure the fields, reduce and exempt the servants, punish the corrupt officials, and return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous era.

Such a slogan is undoubtedly exactly what the people want, although what kind of person Yu Xiaotian is, they don't know at the moment, but this slogan makes them see a long-awaited hope, so many ordinary people heard the news, and immediately rushed to congratulate each other, only hoping that the Yu family army could quickly attack the Beijing division and sweep away those corrupt officials who don't do their jobs.

During this time, after Yu Xiaotian's conscription was completed, he ordered that the refugees who were coerced by the Jiannu army be given a little food to each of them, and each of them was given dozens of large sums of money to allow them to return to their hometowns on their own.

In order to ensure their safety on the way home, he also ordered the elected leaders of the people to organize their own villagers, and issued them a small number of weapons for self-defense, to protect their neighbors and villagers, and to return to their hometowns.

Hundreds of thousands of people received money, food, and clothing, and they were even more grateful to Xiaotian, so they all cried bitterly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank them, and then began to embark on the road back to their hometowns one by one.

At this point, hundreds of thousands of refugees were completely dismissed, and after two days, the refugee camps gathered in the vicinity of Jinghai County became empty, leaving only the graves of the refugees who unfortunately died here and a large number of temporary shacks.

When these people return to their hometowns, they will definitely not be properly resettled by the local government, in contrast, they will naturally miss Yu Xiaotian's kindness to them, and after returning to their hometowns, they will become Yu Xiaotian's spokesperson, speaking for Yu Xiaotian, it will not be long before the people of these refugees' hometowns will look forward to the arrival of Yu Jiajun, and then it will be the time when the Ming Dynasty will completely collapse.

After dealing with these things, Yu Xiaotian once again focused on the war, and after careful study by the generals and staff officers, Yu Jiajun set his sights on Tongzhou City in the east of the Beijing Division.

Tongzhou has always been the east gate of the Ming Dynasty, the gateway to the capital, and more importantly, Tongzhou is the northernmost and final destination of the Grand Canal.

Since Zhu Di moved the capital to Yanjing, Daming's dependence on the canal has become increasingly serious, and the population density and agricultural development in the north have always been inferior to the south due to climatic reasons and wars, coupled with the influence of the Xiaoice River period in the late Ming Dynasty, which has led to the stagnation or even regression of agricultural development in the north.

The grain produced in the north is not enough for the northerners to use, and the taxes collected are far from enough for the Ming court to deploy, so the entire economic center of gravity of the Ming Dynasty is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the richest areas are Huguang, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other places.

In order to make up for the lack of the north, the Ming Dynasty had to rely on the canal every year to transport money and grain from the south to the north for the use of the Beijing division and the border army.

In the past few decades, with the rise of Jiannu outside the Guan, the situation of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong is worrying, in the area of Guanning in Liaodong, Chen stationed the army, close to the grain produced in the north, which is simply not enough for them, so it also needs to be transported, and a large amount of grain and military pay will be transferred from the south to the north for the use of the north.

Therefore, the Grand Canal is the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty, and now the canal has been cut off by the Yu army from the Cangzhou Mansion.

However, Tongzhou, which is the end point of the Cao Yun, is a large warehouse, where a large amount of grain and various materials that were previously transported from the south are hoarded.

Moreover, Tongzhou is the east gate of the Beijing Division, and taking Tongzhou is equivalent to knocking on the door of the Beijing Division, and then you can obtain a large amount of food replenishment on the spot, and then you can directly enter the city of the Beijing Division.

Therefore, the next action of Yujia's army will revolve around attacking the Beijing division, and Tongzhou must be taken at the first time.

During this period of time, the rest of the Yu family army also provided a rare buffer for the Ming court, and the court had sent Liu Yuliang to Tongzhou to sit in the town, and Tongzhou had more than 20,000 officers and troops stationed at this time, including the three major battalions of the Beijing division and the Yongwei battalion.

At the same time, there are several generals such as Liu Guangzuo, who seem to be heavily guarded, as if they need a tough battle, and there is also from Tianjin Wei to Tongzhou, along the way to Guò Xianghe and Wuqing, these two places are still garrisoned, it is necessary to solve the officers and troops in these two places before attacking Tongzhou.

So Yu Xiaotian combined the opinions of the staff officers and ordered the first and second brigades to act as the vanguard, one left and one right to attack at the same time, each responsible for attacking Wuqing and Xianghe, and opening the road to Tongzhou for the follow-up army.

The rest of the brigades were under his leadership, and then rushed to Tongzhou, as for the Tianjin Wei side, it was handed over to Yu Zhenshan and those new battalions to be responsible for guarding, fortunately, there were several naval companies left here, plus a large number of heavy artillery unloaded from the ship, as long as Yu Zhenshan did not make a mistake, it was estimated that there would be no trouble.

Liu Yuliang sat in Tongzhou with fear, and every day he was afraid of getting the news that the army of Yujia was coming to attack, so he constantly convened the generals guarding Tongzhou all day long.

But his efforts did not make much difference, and now the morale of the officers and soldiers in Tongzhou is also very low, and they almost dare not hear the words of Yu Jiajun.

More than a month ago, when the Yu family army was newly in Tianjin, they all watched from the wall, squatting on the wall to watch the excitement, thinking that Yu Xiaotian was a crazy person at all, and his brain must have entered the water.

30,000 Fujian soldiers want to fight to the death with 100,000 Jiannu troops, and they say that they want to guard Jiannu in Tianjin to prevent Jiannu from leaving the customs.

Therefore, when it was learned that the imperial court intended to flank the Yu family army and destroy it in Tianjin, many generals did not think so, thinking that it was completely redundant, and that the Jiannu family was enough to trample the Yu family army to death, and they couldn't do such a dirty thing at all.

After all, the Yu family army is also their Ming army, this time regardless of whether Yu Xiaotian resists the decree or not, the bad people are here to fight Jiannu, and some kind of Cheng dù is regarded as their own family, and the court wants to take the opportunity to unite Jiannu to fight their own family, and this thing can't be done.

As for Jiannu, if the Yu family army is destroyed, it is Yu Xiaotian's own business, and it doesn't matter if the two don't help each other, anyway, they don't dare to help Yu Xiaotian at this time.
