Chapter 791: All the way to the north
"This ...... This ......" The others were shocked at first when they saw Fang Hong change into Xu Xufeng's appearance, and then they became happy, but Zhao Cheng was a little succumbed at the moment, he had a lot of contradictions with Xu Qianhu at the beginning, but he didn't expect Xu Qianhu to be Lord Chenghuang, he knew that this was the case, he just borrowed 10,000 guts, and he didn't dare to be rude to Lord Chenghuang.
"Your Excellency...... What are you ......" After everyone was happy, they noticed a problem, that is, Fang Hong could change at will, could it be that this was an immortal?
"I just told you, this is Lord Chenghuang...... Let's just say that the old man of the city god ......" Zhao Cheng pulled Zhao Ping's clothes and said in a low voice.
"Really...... It's really a fairy......" Zhao Ping was a little dumbfounded, he had never seen an immortal in his life, and he heard that his former Shangguan actually said that he was an immortal, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
"Guys, I know your strength, and it's not a problem to fight ten. But the point is that we have not only 50,000 enemies, but an entire Ming Dynasty. They have plenty of food, a million troops, and countless strong cities, and if they are exhausted, you are definitely no match. Fang Hong coughed lightly and said loudly.
He had planted a secret door in everyone's mind, and subtly increased his loyalty to him, so to speak, these people were already his dead soldiers, and even if they were allowed to die, these people would not hesitate.
"Since the adults have already come, everything is naturally up to the adults to make up their minds. Zhao Ping saluted and said very respectfully. Originally, there were more than a dozen people in this team, large and small, although they were united on the surface, but behind the scenes, they were constantly competing, which was also very normal, everyone's positions and abilities were similar, why should I listen to you? If Fang Hong didn't appear, the power of these 5,000 people would probably be torn apart after the strength expanded.
"Let's go north, through the whole of Daming, into the realm of Tatar. The Tatar land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is completely possible to occupy a place to recuperate and grow its strength. "This plan was planned by Fang Hong a long time ago, Tatar is already equivalent to his own land, as long as he enters Tatar, he will have the capital to compete with the Ming Dynasty.
"Okay, we'll all listen to Senhu-sama. Zhao Cheng and the others naturally did not have the slightest displeasure, although they were not afraid of death, but they would not not cherish their lives. After getting out of the customs, the pressure is indeed much less, and their chances of survival will be greater.
......
The turmoil in Jiangxi soon spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. But at this moment, it was the most chaotic time in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor died during the sacrifice to the sky, and the cabinet was almost a pot of porridge. Yang Tinghe wanted to do something, but the five newly promoted pavilion elders always obstructed him in all aspects, and the turmoil had occurred for several days, but he still couldn't come up with a charter.
In fact, the biggest problem is not to quell the chaos, but to welcome the new emperor. Zhu Houzhao has no heirs, and according to the rules, a prince should be selected from the clan to inherit the throne. But there was a problem with the head of the chosen person, Yang Tinghe favored Zhu Houxi, the king of Xing, and the new pavilion elder Lu Wan and others were willing to set up King Zhao, because they secretly had a close relationship with King Zhao, and King Zhao was on the throne, and they could continue to stay in the cabinet in the future without worrying about being liquidated.
And just when everyone was arguing with each other, they found that the team of 5,000 people had already begun to come to the north, first crossing the Jianghuai River, and then entering Shandong, looking at its route, it turned out to be coming to the capital.
Because when the rebels came all the way, they didn't attack the city, but only cared about marching to the north, and the internal opinions of the Ming Dynasty could not be unified, which caused Fang Hong and the others to be overwhelmed and advance extremely fast.
After the large army entered the territory of Shandong, the imperial court began to panic, at this time, don't think about the matter of welcoming the new emperor, let's solve the big enemy in front of you first. If you don't solve the rebels, I'm afraid you won't even be able to save your own life.
At this time, the time came to use those noble military attachés, and Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, who had mastered the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, was ordered to quickly mobilize the nearby army to prepare to meet the enemy.
There are hundreds of thousands of guards in the northern land, and even if they are temporarily transferred, they should be able to gather more than 100,000. When the officials of the court thought that they could continue to fight, they found a very difficult problem.
That is, a few days ago, the soldiers of the guard post near the capital entered the palace in Beijing, and a large number of commanders, Tongzhi, Qianhu and other officials were killed by the demon road, and now the soldiers in these guards are like a mass of scattered sand, and they can't be effectively organized at all.
And the guards in a farther place are even more unreliable, with the organizational ability of the guards soldiers, when they come to the rescue, the daylily is cold.
Therefore, at this time, Xu Guangzuo had two choices, one was to mobilize the three major battalions, and the other was to mobilize the border troops in the north. The three battalions could not move, because the three battalions had to defend the capital, which was the last line of defense in the capital. Therefore, the only way is to mobilize the border troops.
The combat effectiveness of the border army is not weak, and if it can be mobilized, it will certainly be able to destroy the enemy. But there will be a problem with the mobilization of the border army, that is, the defense of the border will inevitably be lax, in case the alien race takes advantage of this time to come and plunder, but for the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is a great pain.
Faced with such a difficult decision, the ministers of the court unanimously chose to mobilize the border troops. In everyone's opinion, although the Hu people look ugly, they are outsiders after all, and as long as they have plundered enough, they will inevitably leave. The internal riots are different, and it is possible to change the dynasty, which is related to the official hats of all of them.
Besides, the Hu people could not hurt them when they entered the customs, and at the beginning, Warat attacked all the way to the gate of the capital, and was not stopped outside? There were countless heavy artillery and the three most elite battalions in the capital, and they were not afraid of the Hu people's sneak attack at all.
Xu Guangzuo got the order of the imperial court, so he quickly ordered the mobilization of the border army, and transferred all the border troops from Datong, Xuanfu and other places to the south, leaving only a small part of the army stationed.
The border army mobilized more than 30,000 people, more than 30,000 firearms of various types, 10,000 horses, 3,000 horses were responsible for transporting baggage, and the rest of the horses belonged to the cavalry battalion of the border army.
There were ten cavalry battalions in total, adding up to five thousand men. In this day and age, cavalry is a nightmare, especially in the north, where the flat ground will provide sufficient conditions for the cavalry to charge, and any enemy will be wiped out under the onslaught of the cavalry.
With so many elite soldiers, the court immediately stabilized, and the scholars and doctors in the city continued to stand on top of the court to strategize, and the original tense atmosphere disappeared.
