Chapter 596 Entering Jizhou Mansion

readx;

The importance of Shanhaiguan is very clear to those who know a little bit about history. Throughout www.biquge.info Chinese history, the Qing army was only 100,000 people, but it was able to kill the Beijing division and win the Central Plains. One of the biggest reasons is that Wu Sangui defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and led the Qing army into the customs. And the customs mentioned here are actually Shanhaiguan.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, in order to protect the Shanhai Pass, the Shanhaiguan specially set up the Guanning Iron Horse. Jiangxia, who is well aware of the importance of Shanhaiguan, has set up a double insurance in Shanhaiguan.

At the Shanhaiguan Department, Jiangxia set up a Xiongwu Army. Among them, there were 40,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 cavalry. With such a force, it is basically possible to protect Shanhaiguan without losing it. In order to seek insurance, he also set up a Jianzhou guard in Yongping Mansion, with a garrison of 50,000 troops, as a backup for Shanhaiguan.

Among these two soldiers and horses, there are a large number of disciples of the martial arts hall. It stands to reason that even if there is a big chaos in the Ming Dynasty, these martial arts disciples will definitely be able to guard Shanhaiguan. For this, Jiang Xia is very confident.

So when Xie Tengfei reported that Shanhaiguan had been lost, and Yongping Mansion had also been broken. The first reaction in Jiang Xia's heart was that it was impossible.

Of course, this is an idea of sensuality. Reason told Jiang Xia that Xie Tengfei would never be untargeted. If he hadn't asked clearly, he would never have come to report to himself.

Jiang Xia frowned, he pulled the reins of the horse and said, "Let's go!" Take me to ask." ”

"Yes!" After Xie Tengfei responded, he immediately turned his horse's head and said, "My lord, please." ”

Jiang Xia followed Xie Tengfei to the front of the team, 30,000 people came out of the Beijing Division, and now the number has risen to nearly 70,000. So the marching line of the ranks stretched very long.

After Jiang Xia came to the front of the team, he saw a wave of fleeing refugees gathering together. Surrounded by soldiers to prevent them from escaping. But they were nibbling on dry food in their mouths, and at a glance they knew that it was a flour cake for the march.

"The general is here!" Xie Tengfei shouted, and the soldiers surrounding the refugees immediately withdrew. As soon as those refugees heard the word "general", they hurriedly got up from the spot, knelt down to Jiang Xia and saluted: "See the general, please spare the general." We are just refugees who have fled, and our valuables have been robbed by bandits and bandits on the way. I beg the general to spare us our lives. ”

Jiang Xia took out a stack of Daming treasure money from his arms, he threw the treasure money in front of this group of refugees, and said: "Tell me the news of Shanhaiguan and Yongping Mansion completely, and say that these are all yours." If it's not good, don't kill it!"

Jiang Xia said with a murderous awe, but in fact, he didn't mean to kill them at all, just to scare them. But who is Jiang Xia, who has been in a high position for a long time, any look can make people feel great pressure, not to mention that he also said "kill or kill".

The refugees didn't think about it, and quickly began to talk nonsense. If it were ordinary people, they would definitely be told to stop and say it one by one. But Jiangxia didn't. He listened intently, discerning. From the mouths of these people, he has roughly heard the situation in Shanhaiguan and Yongping Mansion.

It turned out that there was a mutiny within the defenders of Shanhaiguan. Some of them wanted to take their soldiers and horses to join the Tatars, so they fought with the other part of the people who were holding the Shanhai Pass. During the battle between the two sides, the Tatars took advantage of this opportunity to break through the Shanhai Pass in one fell swoop.

Then the Xiongwu army began to fall apart, and only a part of the self-proclaimed "martial disciples" fought the Tatars at Shanhaiguan for a whole day, and finally the whole army was annihilated.

However, their sacrifice was not useless, and the people near Shanhaiguan took advantage of this opportunity to retreat safely, and at the same time, Yongping Mansion also received news and was ready to meet the Tatar army. But I don't know why, the Tatar army is very familiar with the terrain of Yongping Mansion, and a Tatar soldier enters the city of Yongping Mansion from somewhere, and the Tatar army outside Yongping Mansion should be combined with the outside and break through Yongping Mansion in one fell swoop.

Now the Tatar army is rushing towards Jizhou Mansion, obviously preparing to attack all the way to Beijing and take the opportunity to get involved in the Central Plains.

After listening to the words of these refugees, Jiang Xia could not believe the news that Shanhaiguan and Yongping Mansion were broken. He took a deep breath and suddenly felt that things were getting a little tricky.

There are three tricky aspects. First, Shanhaiguan and Yongping Mansion were broken, and it was really difficult to stop the Tatar army with Jizhou Mansion. Second, the Tatar army was able to unknowingly plot against the generals guarding the Shanhaiguan, and was able to find a secret passage to enter the interior of Yongping Mansion. This means that on the side of the Tatar army, there is a person who is very familiar with the Ming border pass. It is not clear who this person Jiang Xia is, but Jiang Xia guessed that this person was definitely not a simple figure in Daming in the past.

Third, Jiangxia must not allow the Tatar army to fight in Beijing. Now on the periphery of the Beijing Division, all forces are eyeing each other. Jiang Xia relied on his past prestige, which only frightened those forces until now. But if the Tatar army kills the Beijing Division, then the situation will be completely different, and the other forces of the Ming Dynasty will definitely take the opportunity to attack the Beijing Division in order to get a piece of the pie.

Therefore, the current situation could not help Jiang Xia hesitate, and he immediately decided: "Go down from the order, the whole army marches at full speed, and you must rush to Jizhou Mansion before dark!"

"Yes!" Xie Tengfei also knew that the situation was urgent now, so he immediately went to give the order in the future.

War horses galloped, infantry galloped. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses immediately began to move forward at full speed, but fortunately, Jiangxia and they were not far from Jizhou. Even though it was now approaching dusk, it was still at the end of the day when it was still dark and rushed to Jizhou Mansion.

Jizhou Mansion had already been controlled by the people of Zhenshuo Guard in the previous time. After Jiang Xia and they arrived, they immediately took the commander of Zhenshuo Wei to rescue the prefect of Jizhou Prefecture, Xia Jialin.

In the cellar of a wealthy compound in the city, Jiang Xia took the commander of Zhenshuo Wei to meet Xia Jialin. Xia Jialin had seen Jiang Xia before, and strictly speaking, Xia Jialin should also belong to the Jiang family.

So when Jiang Xia walked down the cellar and saw Xia Jialin, Xia Jialin was only slightly stunned, and then immediately knelt on the ground and saluted Jiang Xia: "Weichen Xia Jialin, see the emperor, may my emperor live long live long live." ”

Jiang Xia nodded, stretched out his hand to help Xia Jialin and said, "Lord Xia, I made you suffer." ”

The conductor looked at Jiang Xia with an expression like he had seen a ghost, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Emperor...... Your Majesty?"

Jiang Xia looked at the commander and smiled slightly: "If you don't kneel down knowing my identity, can you know that it is a capital crime?"

The commander was suddenly startled, and subconsciously prepared to kneel. But Jiang Xia slapped a palm on the top of his head, and said lightly: "It's too late to kneel now...... r1058
