At this time, the banner of the official army that confused the enemy became a burden, and the defeated soldiers saw that there was a banner, and they directly rushed to run, and when they saw that it was the men and horses of the Zhao family's army, they fled again, although Ji Xiang's department was not for the purpose of killing the enemy, but this was also annoying, so they simply put away all the official and military flags, and then sent troops out to drive away the rout.

There was no battle, a team of defeated soldiers came, found that the Xuzhou cavalry was there, and immediately fled, yesterday's battle was less than two hours, but the artillery was like a thunderbolt, the infantry cavalry and horses were extremely fierce, and the officers and soldiers were already frightened, in such a situation, who would dare to fight to the death entanglement, as for those who are still in the strength of the battalion, or the team that has been gathered, a little sober, will not go to Tianjin, even if the vanguard cavalry of the Zhao family army does not arrive, the army will arrive soon.

It's just that there are still people who are not clear-headed, and there are those who are scattered and unorganized, and they only know how to advance along the official road, such a battle is solved quickly, one cavalry company is not enough, and the second one is directly put into the second, and there are rarely four times when they are needed, but although the battle is simple, it is too much, and it is annoying, originally Yoshika didn't want to use artillery, but in the afternoon, ten artillery pieces also began to roar.

When it was approaching dark, perhaps the rout troops coming from this side were already about to camp for the night, or the enemy in this direction had already known the news that there were Xuzhou soldiers and horses in Tianjin, so that the exhausted Ji Xiang could finally rest.

The sun set, the night fell, the cavalry of the Zhao family army felt the vibration on the ground, they didn't care about rest and dinner, they were all preparing for battle, but in addition to being nervous, everyone was a little excited, because the shock came from the south, if nothing else, it was the Zhao family's army that arrived.

There is indeed no surprise, after the victory in Jinghai County, the army led by Zhao Jin rested for the night, and rushed to Tianjin the next day, and arrived at the destination when it was dark.

The lights outside the city of Tianjin were bright, the sound of joy was thunderous, piles of bonfires were raised, the pigs and sheep purchased along the way were slaughtered and cooked, this night Zhao Jin even allowed a small amount of alcohol in various departments, and the Zhao family army was carnival from top to bottom, because they arrived in Tianjin, and controlled the grain storage on this side of Tianjin, which meant that the Zhao family army could go further, and then west was the capital of the Ming Empire.

No one thought that they couldn't fight, with the strength of the Zhao family army along the way, the capital is not a problem at all, and then what to do next, thinking of this change, everyone is very excited, although Zhao Jin has already greeted them, this northward battle is to deter the Ming Dynasty, not to rebel and ascend the throne and become the emperor, but this feeling makes people feel happy and hearty!

The city is celebrating joy, the city is dark, in this darkness, Tianjin's civil officials, military generals, gentry and so on, are trembling looking at the camp of the Zhao family, everyone is silent, everyone is thinking in their hearts, is it going to change the dynasty

While they were watching in silence, the cavalry of the Zhao family army came to the city and shouted at the city: "Open the city early tomorrow morning and surrender, there must be no mistake, otherwise the city will be bombarded and attacked!" ”

After only saying such a sentence, it is to return, there are no conditions, and there is no leeway, but the people in Tianjin also clearly know that they have no ability to raise conditions, in the attack and defense of the day, Ji Xiang's department is only to protect the grain storage on the dock from being violated, and nothing else matters, except for the south gate, the other three gates of Tianjin City are safe, and only the light cavalry of the Zhao family army is monitored.

Taking advantage of this gap, Tianjin City also gathered more than 100 defeated troops into the city, and the defeated army was not to defend the city, but to know the exact news, after learning that the imperial court officers and troops in Jinghai County were defeated in a few hours, all thoughts in Tianjin City disappeared, and no one believed that the army of nearly 100,000 would collapse so quickly, but the continuous defeat proved that this was true.

No one mentioned the matter of martyrdom, not long after the cavalry shouted, someone at the head of the city tied a rope and put it down, kneeling outside the camp of the Zhao family army to ask for a meeting, bringing news from the city, Tianjin City asked very simply, if you surrender, can you save your life and family, family property and goods are willing to offer, and all the savings in the city are owned by the army.

Even to Zhao Jin to present a book, this Tianjin is responsible for the transfer and logistics of the capital and Jizhen, there are a large number of materials inside and outside the city, these materials are very useful to Zhao Jiajun, Zhao Jin's reply is also very simple, after opening the city tomorrow, give them half an hour to go out of the city, Zhao Jiajun will not pursue, if you don't want to go, Zhao Jiajun will not be embarrassed, if you don't do anything in private and the army is the enemy, life and property can be preserved.

After the news was transmitted back to the city, the officials and gentry were all suspicious, but at the moment the situation could not help but they did not believe it, the Zhao family army came too fast, Tianjin did not say what to do, not even the process of preparation, there were no defeated soldiers and refugees to describe the style of Xuzhou soldiers and horses, there were commercial houses from Xuzhou in the city, and at this time they had been treated as guests, and the shopkeepers of the commercial houses did not hesitate to guarantee, saying that since Jin Ye agreed, then it must be no bad, and everyone who has dealt with Xuzhou knows that Zhao Jin's words count.

At the end of April in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Tianjin Kaicheng surrendered, before the surrender, the door was opened, there were dozens of horsemen running wildly, these people were officials and generals in the city, they did not believe in the guarantee of the Zhao family, but in half an hour, the other party had thousands of cavalry in their hands, and it was impossible to run with their families.

Zhao Jiajun only took over the city step by step, and other states and counties in the territory of Beizhili, in the advance plan, this Tianjin city was regarded as an advance battalion, and there was no rush to march after the takeover, on the one hand, the whole army rested, and on the other hand, it was deployed inside and outside Tianjin.

There are a lot of gunpowder and weapons in the city, and the swords, guns and firearms are not much of help to the Zhao family's army, but the gunpowder is in short supply, and the firearms are supplemented by the firearms troops after screening and selection, and at the same time the grain and grass outside the city are transported into the city, which is covered by the city wall, after all, it is much safer than outside the city.

In addition to these, more than a dozen sea ships that came to Tianjin were full of supplies, and at the same time, they were also hiring sea ships to Tianjin, which were also full of various military supplies, and the Zheng family's big gang and the Yu family's fleet all sent ships back, ready to mobilize new ships to come here, and the fleet on the water was the last preparation of the Zhao family's army, although it was impossible to use it.

At this time, Wang Zaijin and his staff had lost their original discouragement and despair, and they had no extravagant expectations, not even apprehension, just kindly watched the appearance and actions of the Zhao family's army, and then patiently waited for the other party's arrangement.

At the moment of being arrested, since the king was in Jin and below, everyone was cold in their hands and feet, and felt that the people of Xuzhou regretted it, and they didn't want to kill people or force people to surrender, and they didn't want to be taken back, and the generals who received them were still full of apologies, saying that they also wanted you to go to the capital to report the news, otherwise there would be no enough identity of the person, and both sides would be in trouble at that time.

This kind of polite treatment makes Wang Zaijin and his people are very ignorant, your Xuzhou soldiers and horses have reached this point, and you have such combat power, what else do you need to report the news, isn't it directly to Jingshi to be the emperor and win the world? Puzzled and bored, the defeated army has no right to express their opinions, and can only obey sullenly.

Wang Zaijin watched Zhao Jiajun rectify the place in Jinghai County, and then watched the next day Zhao Jiajun pull out the camp and march straight to Tianjin, everything that the people and horses in Xuzhou did was very ordinary, Wang Zaijin and they felt that they could do it, but everything that Zhao Jiajun did was in order, the rules and regulations, there was nothing wrong, there was no delay and mistakes, each brigade and company was in place, and every qiē was neat and fast, that is, these countless commonplace combinations became rare and efficient.

What is the official army like, Wang Zaijin has seen a lot, whether it is fighting or marching, it is a mess, so you must calmly arrange it slowly, otherwise it will be out of the basket, there is chaos everywhere, there is delay everywhere, together it is a pot of porridge, compared with the neat and orderly Zhao family's army, it is immediately distinguished.

The staff did not see as deeply as Wang Zaijin, they were all sighing at the equipment and military supplies of the Zhao family, the armor on the soldiers of the Zhao family army was staggering, not to mention the guns and artillery, each one looked very well maintained, each one was not shoddy, how could Xuzhou make so many good iron, how could it be equipped with so many soldiers, think about the Ming Dynasty, only the total above has an iron helmet, and it is also a shoddy goods, as for this iron armor is chain mail, where can it be compared to the iron plate of Xuzhou?

As for the military supplies, every time the imperial court sends troops, it is a disaster for the locality, the officers and soldiers do not have much grain in their hands, mainly relying on local supply, coupled with the corruption of military discipline, every time they cross the border, it is like a military disaster, even if they treat the place harshly, but the military food in their hands is still tight, once the other party cuts off the grain road, the morale of the army is immediately dissolved, the reason why so many soldiers and horses can be gathered this time and Xuzhou decisive battle, is because there is a large amount of grain stored in Tianjin, and these grain officers and soldiers can use.

Looking at the boats full of grain and grass on the canal, the masters in charge of the military quartermaster were all envious, they naturally knew that relying on the transportation of military rations was the most convenient and convenient, but they could not do it at all before
