Chapter 337: Who is Orthodox (1)
After Jiang Xuan returned to the barracks, he dropped more than 20 chopsticks in one go, and scolded Zhu Youzhen for not knowing whether he was alive or dead, he was a person who had died once, and he was still so irresponsible.
Obviously, he made the biggest profit, but in the end, he put the responsibility for the mutiny on the Jiang family, Jiang Xuan saw Ling Jingyang's subordinates who were still kneeling in the snow, and asked Niu Guangtian how much?
Niu Guangtian replied that there were more than 100 people, most of the officials and personal soldiers of the Governor's Office, as well as a few city defense troops such as Wangbao and soldiers of the Iron Fist Legion.
Jiang Xuan suddenly thought of Ling Jingyang's two women, and asked Niu Guangtian to take a look, are Bai Lushui and Wen Yuanyang among the captives?
Niu Guangtian thought that Jiang Xuan was going to rob Jingyang's woman, and he was a little annoyed.
"Commander, isn't that okay?"
"What do you want? Lao Tzu asked you to see if Ling Jingyang's woman was here, if she was here, she would send him over, if she wasn't here, Ling Jingyang wouldn't be able to find it, wouldn't she have to fight with us? ”
Niu Guangtian went to look for Bai Lushui and Wen Yuanyang among the captives, but he didn't find these two women, and asked the other captives, and they all said that they didn't see these two women, and when they came back, Jiang Xuan shook his head, saying that he didn't find these two women.
Jiang Xuan was not angry, and said to Niu Guangtian: "This time we are not authentic, you bring these people back to Taiyuan Mansion, and if there are people who are unwilling to leave halfway, you quietly let them go." ”
Niu Guangtian couldn't believe that Jiang Xuan had such a chest, but Jiang Xuan mentioned to him that the two armies would kill the enemy together, and launching a mutiny was already a backstab, and then killing Ling Jingyang's subordinates, what would the people of the world think of his Jiang family, and who would trust the Jiang family in the future?
This is also true, the two decided to go back to Taiyuan Mansion tomorrow.
Suddenly, a subordinate rushed to report that a large group of reserve infantry was approaching the barracks, and after a while, Jiang Xuan and Niu Guangtian surrounded the two soldiers and horses outside the city.
Jiang Xuan and Niu Guangtian hurriedly came to the gate of the barracks with their own soldiers, but saw that Zhang Luofu and Wang Chengen and others led thousands of soldiers at the gate of the barracks, and there were dragon flags fluttering in the military array, thinking that His Majesty was also in the army.
Zhang Luofu came to the gate of the Taiyuan military camp, opened the holy decree and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Jiang Xuan's general army, Niu Guangtian commanded the envoy to kill the enemy, and the quasi-general entered the phase, announced to the world, and the Xian envoy heard about it." ”
This is naked deprivation of Jiang Xuan
and Niu Guangtian's military power, Jiang Xuan brought a thousand elite cavalry, which was the main force of Jiang Xuan's Taiyuan army, Niu Guangtian's troops were not many, and there were thousands of people, which was a force that should not be underestimated.
But Zhu Youzhen said that the military power was recovered, and the military power was completely recovered, and Jiang Xuan and Niu Guangtian's soldiers and horses were besieged by the reserve army.
The reserve regiment placed a large number of fortifications such as horse rejection stakes on both sides of the barracks, and the cavalry did not have enough space to rush out of the barracks.
The military camp was besieged and deprived of military rights, Jiang Xuan's blood and qi surged, his scalp was numb, and he scolded: "Damn, I would not follow this ungrateful emperor if I knew it." ”
But he was not sure to rush out, and he wanted to give up the idea of military power, Niu Guangtian said to him: "Chief soldier, if we give him the soldiers, I'm afraid that my life will be lost?" ”
Jiang Xuan really didn't believe that Zhu Youzhen would make a black hand.
"That's not it, my brother still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Taiyuan Mansion, and if he dares to kill me, isn't he afraid that my brother will raise troops to avenge me?"
Without waiting for Jiang Xuan to think too much, Zhu Youzhen walked out of the crowd, and his appearance caused the reserve legionnaires to be agitated.
Many soldiers saw the Son of Heaven for the first time, and they were still by their side, eager to die for His Majesty, Zhu Youzhen shook his hand forward, and the reserve legionnaires at the scene burst out with a shocking roar.
Approaching step by step with weapons, surrounded by nearly 10,000 infantry in a small space, Jiang Xuan could not do anything even if he had more than 1,000 cavalry.
He walked out of the barracks gloomily, knelt down for Zhu Youzhen, and said very unconvinced: "The minister obeys the order." ”
Zhu Youzhen hated and arrogantly motioned for him to leave the army and go to the palace with him, Jiang Xuan lowered his head and Niu Guangtian were "escorted" to the palace by the reserve legionnaires.
After the two left, the cavalry troops and the Central Army were quickly annexed by the Reserve Corps, and Zhu Youzhen appointed Zhang Luofu as the governor of the five armies above the imperial court, Jiang Xuan as the left attendant of the military department, and Niu Guangtian as the right attendant of the Ministry of Works.
Mei Shifeng was also promoted to the chief officer and soldier of Pingyang Prefecture, and the civil and military officials in Yicheng were basically promoted as long as they recognized the Chongzhen court.
Zhu Youzhen re-established the camp in Yicheng and established the six divisions in the fastest time, because Zhang Luofu annexed Jiang Xuan's department and Niu Guangtian's department, and his strength and combat effectiveness were raised by a notch, and he was not afraid of the retaliation of the Taiyuan army.
After Jiang Hao knew about this situation, he gathered his troops angrily and prepared to kill on the side of Yicheng Qingjun, but Jiang Rang stopped him.
"By all means, go to Yicheng at this time, the Qing army of Datong Mansion will go south, and our last habitat will be gone."
Fight and can't fight, let the troops be hacked, and his younger brother Jiang Xuan was also left in Yicheng by Zhu Youzhen, Jiang Xuan scolded his mother angrily, but he couldn't get angry, but Jiang Rang reminded him.
"The Chongzhen court is unkind and ruthless, why don't we go to Jiangnan and throw this place to the Dashun army, the court and the Qing army?"
"No, there are no horses in Jiangnan, I am not familiar with the place, and I am a guest army when I go, and I have become cannon fodder.
Jiang Rang couldn't convince him, so he retreated to the next best thing, and suggested to Jiang Jiu to reconcile with Ling Jingyang again, which was in Jiang Jiu's interests, since Zhu Youzhen was black-hearted, then he had to be more black-hearted than Zhu Youzhen.
He and Jiang Rang said: "You quickly lead the troops to support Ling Jingyang, don't let him be destroyed by the imperial court." ”
According to the early combat information, Jiang Hao knew that Ling Jingyang was defending in Fenxi County, and he ordered Jiang Rang to bring 5,000 soldiers and horses, as well as 10,000 stones, grains and grass to support Ling Jingyang.
He also asked his henchmen to secretly go to Henan to get in touch with Shi Kefa of Hongguang Imperial Court University, who was stationed in south-central Henan, and prayed for Shi Kefa's assistance.
The Chongzhen Imperial Court fell into internal friction, and the Qing army group in the capital was gradually digesting and absorbing the resources of the occupied areas, and the Eight Banners and Green Battalions who had been fighting for more than half a year were replenished and restored, and more Green Battalion troops were formed, and almost every county town was garrisoned by formed green battalions.
Dolgon sat in the capital to appease the Ming court, not only high-ranking officials, but also shush the cold and ask for warmth, he did this to calm people's hearts and wait for the Ming court, the Great Shun Army, the Great Western Army and other forces to bite.
After the New Year, there was information sent from Shanxi, according to the intelligence, there was internal friction in the Chongzhen court in Shanxi, the five armies were raided by Ling Jingyang, and its power in Shanxi was basically uprooted, and only in Henan the attitude of the army was unknown.
Dolgon was very happy to see such information, and hoped that the Ming people would continue to consume their already small precious troops, and he was sure that there would be a big war between the Hongguang and Chongzhen courts in the near future, and a new war would break out between the Dashun army, the Daxi army, and the Ming army.
