Zunhua City is located in the northeast of Jingshi, about 300 miles away from Jingshi.

How close this number is may not be intuitive.

Then let's talk about the next 100 years: in the change of Jisi that occurred in the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji besieged Zunhua City on October 30, and the next day, Jingshi was under martial law.

The speed of the cavalry is very fast, and it is the Great Plain of North China, which can basically reach the city of Beijing in three or five days.

That's why Yang Shangyi is so nervous.

Don't say that something really happens, even if there is no danger, you may be held accountable afterwards.

"Zunhuawei Commander Wu Youhong was born in the Beijing Military Academy, and he is quite highly used, the last general and Xu Li would never have thought that it would be ......him," Ma Xiongbin said to Yang Shangyi.

Their pace is not slow, it is impossible for the army to go out so fast, but at this special time, the grain and grass were prepared half a month ago.

Benefiting from the country's national strength in recent years, the emperor attaches more importance to the border towns, so it is really not enough to say that Jizhou's money and grain are short.

Looking at it, there are at least 3,000 of these 10,000 people riding brown or black high war horses, Yang Shangyi usually trains these people, and the military appearance is neat.

When marching, the rumbling sound was deafening. The white earth army flag came first, followed by the army densely packed like black dots.

"You'll know when you arrive!"

Yang Shangyi didn't have time to think about Wu Youhong, and he would talk about it when he was arrested.

He is now thinking with Chen Mi about how to mobilize the middle-level generals of other guards to stabilize the big thing.

A name popped out of their minds, and they were scheduled to go to the next place, and they were ready to write it down when they rested in the dilapidated houses on the side of the road.

The general soldier and the town guard eunuch are all deployed names.

In a hurry, the messenger used the secret one,

Miyun Zuowei in the north, Yongpingwei in the east, and Tongzhou Wei in the southwest...... When they clean up Zunhua, they must always stabilize the fundamentals.

During the discussion, a military horse came quickly in front of him.

"Report!!"

Yang Shangyi got up and walked out, facing the scouts.

"Tell the general soldier, Wu Youhong, the commander of Zunhua Guard, has been killed, and the treasury and government in Zunhua City have all been lost, this matter is caused by the conspiracy of Zunhua Wei's three thousand households, and now Zunhua City is in their hands."

Ma Xiongbin originally wondered how Wu Youhong could be like this, because they were brothers who knew each other in the past, and as soon as they heard that this was the case, they immediately changed from suspicion of him to anger, "The following is a crime!" Kill the chief officer! Don't let labor and management catch these ruffians, or you will have to skin them alive! ”

"Probe!"

Yang Shangyi waved his hand. He did not rest anymore, got on his horse directly, and gave the order to move on.

Xu Li suggested on the side, "General Yang Bing, do you want to transfer the Funing Wei of Yongping Mansion and the Right Tunwei of Xingzhou to move closer to Zunhua?" ”

Yang Shangyi did not take this suggestion, "In the middle of winter, it is not easy to march, and the grievances of the soldiers themselves are great at this time, and they can no longer be transferred." And now the various guards are more anxious, in fact, we don't know whether the soldiers are friendly or enemy, and it doesn't matter if our own two guards are strong. For the rest, focus on stability, and don't move. As for the Zunhua guards...... They can't make any waves! ”

"Drive!!"

The military situation is like fire, and there is no delay.

According to the speed of information transmission at this time, all they know may have been two days ago.

Zunhua City, a city on the frontier that had flourished because of military affairs, had fallen into darkness at this time, and the following offense meant the loss of order.

The three thousand households who rebelled first conspired to kill the commander, and then occupied the treasury and distributed food, on the one hand, to strengthen their control over the army, and on the other hand, to reassure the people.

The common people and the low-level soldiers don't understand, if they can eat enough for the time being, then no one will make trouble.

After all this was done, they also opened the prison, and those who were convicted by the Ming Dynasty in the past were now acquitted and pardoned, and these people were also organized into an army.

Now the problem arises.

Three thousand households, Liu Zhong, Chen Scar, Sun Xiong, what can they do next?

The previous commanders told them to occupy them, and the maps of the battle were taken out.

Chen Scar stretched out his hand and pointed, "We don't have many troops, plus there are more than 6,000 people on death row, and in fact, we can trust only the people of our three thousand households, but there are many people who are dissatisfied with the policies of the Ming Court, at this time, Yang Shangyi in Jizhou must have led the troops, I thought that we would go east, go to Qian'an County, go to Yongping Mansion, and recruit brothers from other guards along the way to respond, if the imperial court does not give us a good life, then don't live!" ”

"Have you contacted anyone?" Sun Xiong asked.

"Part of the contact, labor and management don't believe it, and those people from Xingzhou Youtunwei and Funingwei honestly did according to the will of the imperial court? After doing that, they went to drink the northwest wind! Brother Liu, you can say something, there are a few of my old brothers in Funingwei, I know their temperament, go back and live a poor life, it is better to let them die as soon as possible and vote for a good family in the next life! ”

Liu Zhong frowned, his fingers were thick, and there were heavy calluses on the tiger's mouth, he looked like a veteran, "To the east, it is getting farther and farther away from Jingshi, and it is getting closer and closer to Liaodong Town." ”

"So what? I heard that Liaodong is also doing this, what kind of Laoshizi Qingtun, the days outside Shanhaiguan are even harder, can they stand it? ”

"Old Sun, what do you think?"

"I also think what Chen Scar said makes sense, first strengthen the strength, make trouble with this kind of thing, we can't just shout at the top of our voices, we have to pick up people from other places."

Boom!

Liu Zhong slammed his fist down, "Then go to Qian'an County!" Yang Shangyi has some soldiers in his hands, we can't fight hard, let's go out, go out and stir it upside down!! ”

……

……

Yang Shangyi is a day's journey away from Zunhua, but the wind and snow block the road, which delays a little longer.

When they were still thirty miles away from Zunhua, a brocade guard suddenly appeared in front of them.

These people didn't expect to appear here.

Jinyiwei entered with the token, and when he entered the barracks, he said: "General Yang, the rebels are heading to the east!" ”

Yang Shangyi was a little surprised, "In this season, they don't defend the city, but abandon the city to the east?" ”

"Yes, they think that there must be a lot of people who are dissatisfied with Qingtun, so they went out of the city to recruit people who responded."

"How far from here?"

"Sixty miles."

"You can chase!"

As for how Jinyiwei knows, there is no need to ask at all, it must be someone who has Jinyiwei inside.

It is said that the Jinyi Weinan Division was divided and was specifically responsible for domestic intelligence collection, and there are definitely people in important places like Jizhou.

……

……

This kind of thing happened near Jingshi.

The court also learned very quickly, Wang Bing still got 800 miles in an emergency, and as soon as the urgent matter arrived, no one in the cabinet was absent, and all of them entered the palace.

Even though it's late at night.

"Zunhuawei's commander named Wu Youhong died in battle." The emperor didn't say anything else first, but mentioned this person first, and there was no lack of pity in his tone, "After the incident in Ningxia, the imperial court has repeatedly reminded all towns to pay attention to restraining their subordinates, and they don't want such things to happen!" ”

Wang Bing said: "Your Majesty, Yang Shangyi, the chief soldier of Jizhou, is already chasing the offender, and Commander Wu will be able to get revenge." And at the moment, the minister thought that the 12 regimental camps and the Beijing camp should be scattered in various city gates to guard, and the Beijing division should also be under martial law, strictly check the entry and exit personnel, and at the same time spread the decree Datong and Xuanfu, these three towns are the closest to the Beijing division, and the land of Jinggi cannot be lit everywhere! ”

It's a regular move, nothing.

"Quasi-play."

Zhu Houzhao vaguely remembered that there was also a mutiny in Datong during the Jiajing period. When looking at history, he understands these people, because to be honest, the living standard of ordinary soldiers in the border army of the Ming Dynasty is very low, but in experiencing history, he can't be soft.

If it doesn't thunder, that is, press the gourd to float the scoop.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if Yang Shangyi's war is unfavorable, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty!" Wang Bing was reluctant to expand again, he was in charge of Jizhou, "Yang Shangyi has been on the battlefield for a long time, good at military affairs, as long as the court gives him a little time, he will definitely be able to quickly quell the rebellion!" ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his sleeves, sat down and said, "I know." But it is basic to be lenient to the enemy, and I mean that in case of disadvantage, the court must have a backhand, right? ”

Yang Yiqing replied, "If it is unfavorable, the old minister is willing to lead the Beijing camp to support." ”

"Then what if Datong and Xuanfu have something to do?"

If the emperor asks so, the minister will not. The whole territory is full of war, is that a problem with the policy of the imperial court?

But how dare you ask such a question.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were extremely firm, "Don't hide it from you Aiqing, I already knew that cleaning up the military camp would not be so smooth." But no matter how much resistance there is, this matter must be done, even if the blood is flowing like a river, even if the capital division is surrounded, I will not hesitate to do it! ”

"Your Majesty think twice!" Wang Wei tried his best to play, "If things are slow, they will be round, if they are really enemies in all directions, the minister thinks that he can take a step back, and there is no need to push it." ”

Zhu Houzhao closed his eyes and shook his head.

impossible

It's not going to be soft at all.

And this pass must be crossed, and when it is crossed, food and army are not a problem, and with this momentum, what problems in the hinterland of the Central Plains cannot be solved? The remnants of the Mongol forces in the north can also be attacked from time to time.

can't cross it, other problems can only be dealt with by scratching the boots, this emperor is not interesting, it is better to close the door and be Wanli.

……

……

The atmosphere of the capital division began to change, and more and more soldiers in armor began to appear in the streets and alleys.

Zhang Xuan had long expected this day to come, but he didn't expect it to be so intense.

On this day, when he returned home from the Imperial Court and walked through the city that never sleeps, he was a little dazzled, because he saw a very familiar face that was unlikely to appear in the Jingshi.

The man came with three or four retinues, wearing thick black jackets and rough beards, and walked slowly with a horse.

Zhang Xuan rubbed his eyes, it was indeed true.

"Boss, look over there. It seems to be the man......"

The black man looked over and was also a little surprised. But since he bumped into it, he still walked over.

Zhang Xuan was convinced at this time, "Ha, I thought I was wrong!" ”

"Xiaguan has seen a bad situation."

"Haha, I'm not bad now. By the way, Ma Bin, why are you here? ”

"I entered Beijing by order."

"Ordered?"

Zhang Xuan remembered that the emperor did ask who Ma Bin was, did he send someone to announce him afterwards?

Ma Bin killed the most ruthlessly in Ningxia Town, if the emperor had summoned him to Beijing at that time...... It seems that the emperor already knew what would happen to the eight towns to clean up the military camp.

"Mr. Zhang, several of us are rough people from the countryside, not to mention the Jingshi Palace, we haven't even been to a few big cities in my life. We're ...... How the hell are you going to go?! ”

Zhang Xuan came back to his senses and became happy.

At the same time, he thought in his heart that the border army and the Beijing official can't have too deep friendships, and he has to pay attention to it, but Ma Bin's future should be certain, so he has to help.
