0449, Yongzhou is critical
divid="chapterContentWapper">
"Yuan Chonghuan was finally sent to prison, and he must be unable to escape the death penalty, which is considered as he deserves it. The return of the lord is very timely, and the situation we are facing now is very dangerous. ”
Miao Sanguan secretly welcomed the Xiong Chu into Daguan Fort, and on the way, he couldn't wait to start telling about the recent changes.
Xiong Chu was also forced to leave Zhennan Province, because the shape shì developed too fast, and he couldn't go if he didn't go.
When Chongzhen left Yunnan at the end of June of the third year, Xiong Chu, Lan'er, and Yan Erniang took away Mandaili's guard battalion, the reorganized Fang Qianxun and Zhou Chang juvenile battalions, a total of 5,000 people.
Along the way, Li Qing led the scout camp to take the lead, which was also one of the original intentions of Xiong Chu to let Li Qing come over secretly to explore the way last time.
After a month and a half of night travel, the 5,000 miscellaneous army led by Xiong Chu finally crossed the Guilin Mansion and secretly entered Yongzhou Daguan Fort in mid-August.
There was no time to greet in depth, so an emergency meeting was held that night, and Miao Sanguan and Peng Wuying reported what kind of changes had taken place in the government and the opposition, and the impact it had on Daguanbaosuo.
In the first half of the second year of Chongzhen (1629), Huang Taiji's soldiers invaded Korea in two ways, and they were basically pacified in four months.
At the same time, Huang Taiji took advantage of the victory to attack Lin Dan Khan and also won the victory. Lin Dan Khan's headquarters collapsed at the first touch and fled westward for 600 miles.
Huang Taiji finally occupied the strategic place north of the Great Wall, leaving Yuan Chonghuan's army in the east, becoming a dead chess, and all the fortresses built by the people and money were turned into waste.
On October 27, the Later Jin Jurchen Emperor Taiji took the Mongolian Khalqintai Jibul Gatu as a guide, and the troops marched south to attack the Great Wall Pass in three ways.
All the way to Da'ankou, the general Zhou Zhen was killed; all the way to the Longjing Pass, all the way to the Hongshan Pass, the Ming staff general Zhang Ande and others were defeated and fled, and Zhang Wanchun surrendered to the enemy.
On the fourth day of the first month of this month, Zhao Sect, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, led the sect to come to the rescue, and Yu Zunhua was killed in battle, and the whole army was annihilated.
Governor Wang Yuanya, Baoding magistrate Li Xianming, Yongping magistrate He Tianqiu, Zunhua magistrate Xu Ze, former magistrate Wu Qiqian, etc., according to the city to defend the city. When the city fell, all about the Ministry of Security was killed.
At this point, Jizhou was besieged, Jingshi was forced to martial law, and Emperor Chongzhen was almost surrounded by the Jurchen Tartars on three sides, facing the first dilemma in two years of ascending the throne.
The culprit is not the Jurchen Tartar Emperor Taiji, but the scholar Yuan Chonghuan, who brought disaster to the country and the people.
The reason why it is said that the Jurchen Tartars are not the biggest scourge this time is because after the defeat and escape of Lin Dan Khan, the north of the Jingshi has become an almost undefended area.
This kind of great opportunity, even if it is placed on a fool, must go south to test the true strength of the Ming Dynasty and provide a basis for future strategic decisions.
Yuan Chonghuan brought disaster to the country and the people because he didn't know the art of war at all, and he was simply an idiot.
It wasted all the taxes of the country for six years, as well as the blood and sweat of more than 200,000 people, and built the so-called brocade fortress, which did not play the slightest role at all.
Just when he was able to play a little role, Yuan Chonghuan actually gave up again.
Although Emperor Chongzhen is young, the arrogance and tenacity in his bones are beyond the cognition of ordinary people.
When Yuan Chonghuan heard that Huang Taiji had entered the customs, he was immediately frightened. disobeyed Emperor Chongzhen's order to return to the division to rescue, this is the real reason why Yuan Chonghuan should be cut with a thousand cuts.
Although the enemy was in the city, the young Emperor Chongzhen had already made an extremely bold decision, which turned out to be the only correct decision.
At this time, if Yuan Chonghuan really had the determination to die and serve the country loyally, the only thing he could do was to send out the whole army to take the three cities of Liaoyang, Fushun and Shenyang, capture the base camp of the Jurchen Tartars, and completely occupy the territory of the entire Jurchen tribe.
At that time, the situation was that Huang Taiji's elite soldiers were in Korea, separated by the Yalu River, and the elite soldiers had already reached the Great Wall, and they were even more out of reach.
Liaoyang, Fushun, and Shenyang, the core parts of the entire Jurchen Tartar tribe, are less than 5,000 elite soldiers.
Yuan Chonghuan has an army of 200,000 under his command, as well as fierce generals like Zu Dashou.
If he has the determination to die with the annihilation of the whole army, swings his army into the hinterland of the enemy, and flattens the entire Jurchen tribe with one drum, Yuan Chonghuan is the real loyal and patriotic.
This is the simplest plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and it is also the basic tactic of "you fight yours, I fight mine".
At that time, although Yuan Chonghuan may be killed in battle, the 200,000 people under his command may also be wiped out.
But to be able to die with the Jurchen tribe and completely destroy the foundation of Huang Taiji's comeback, that is the miracle of the world.
For the entire Ming Dynasty, exchanging Yuan Chonghuan's 200,000 people for the destruction of the entire Jurchen tribe was Emperor Chongzhen's original intention of repeatedly refusing Yuan Chonghuan to return to Beijing for rescue.
As long as Huang Taiji's lair is beaten into ruins, his 100,000 elite soldiers are left alone, and they will become rootless trees and sourceless water.
At that time, Lin Dan Khan in the west will not watch dryly, and the Qinwang divisions in all parts of the Ming Dynasty will not watch dryly, and the annihilation of Huang Taiji's entire army is just around the corner!
However, Yuan Chonghuan was greedy for life and afraid of death, openly resisted the decree and disrespected, and brought troops into the customs without permission, and was called "King Qin of Beijing".
Because all the leaders of the Donglin Party were in Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen did not let any of them go, nor did he leave himself, but announced that the city gate would be closed and the curfew would be changed.
At the same time, all the Donglin Party officials who usually shouted loyalty and patriotism, Emperor Chongzhen ordered all of them to go to the city to assist in the defense and live and die with the enemy.
Emperor Chongzhen's original intention was to achieve the purpose of killing people with a knife and eliminate the civil official group in the imperial court.
Is Yuan Chonghuan going to save the emperor? No, he is going back to the division to rescue the Donglin Party members!
The great opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to win a war was wasted, and it was simply impossible to redeem it!
Emperor Chongzhen is worthy of being a son of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, he has the courage to put his death and survive, but as a result, Yuan Chonghuan, a rebellious minister and thief who brought disaster to the country and the people, disregarded the interests of the country, thus ruining the national fortune, which is simply intolerable. To exterminate the nine clans, a thousand knives are not enough to anger the people!
"It's a pity, it's a pity!"
Miao Sanguan had tears in his eyes and slapped the table loudly: "This is the only chance for our Ming Dynasty to turn defeat into victory, and it is also the last chance to revive the rivers and mountains." It's a pity that traitors misled the country, scholars messed up the government, and wasted the great opportunity given by the heavens. What a pity, what a pity!"
Xiong Chu clenched his fists with both hands, and the palms of his hands were already bleeding, as if a wild lion was spinning around the room. The chest rises and falls violently, and the mouth is panting:
"Yuan Chonghuan should be killed 10,000 times! It's all because I didn't listen to Wan Lian, Huang Yanying, Yan Erniang and Lan'er's advice at the beginning, if I had gone directly to kill Yuan Chonghuan, there would be no disaster today!"
Everyone in the Chamber of Secrets felt depressed, and this was indeed a fact that no one could accept.
But something has happened, Yuan Chonghuan has been imprisoned, and what awaits him will definitely be sanctioned by national law.
"My lord, as the saying goes, there is no worst, only worse. Peng Wuying said: "Yuan Chonghuan has exhausted all the imperial courts, and there is no source of military salaries at all. In December last year, because of the critical situation in Beijing, Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi, and Zhang Hong, the chief soldier, went to the aid with 5,000 people. As a result, because no military pay was paid, the soldiers mutinied in the end. ”
"If such an officer and army can win the battle, then there is a ghost. Sure enough, at the beginning of the first month of this year, the Shaanxi rebel army Wang Zishun and Miao Mei led 4,000 people to besiege Hancheng in the south, which was unstoppable. ”
"On 28 March, another cult appeared in Shandong and Henan, and under the guise of the White Lotus Sect, they claimed that Ziweixing had lost his way, contacted the displaced people within three or four hundred miles, and had already proclaimed himself king. ”
"On April 3, Qingjian Li Panlong killed Miao Mei in Hejiawan and declared an uprising. On April 28, he crossed the river by Shenmu and captured Puzhou. Then the troops were divided into two routes, attacking Zhaocheng, Hongdong, Fen and Huo in the east, and attacking Shilou and Yonghe in the west. ”
"Now the righteous army has entered Shanxi, and has successively broken through Xiangling, Jizhou, Taiping, and Quwo, and the entire Shanxi and Shaanxi have formed a trend of burning the prairie and cannot be stopped. ”
"On June 5, the rebel king and monk Wang Jiayun captured Fugu and Hequ, and Zhang Xianzhong led a battalion of more than 4,000 people to respond, calling himself the 'Eight Kings'. Now Zhang Xianzhong and Monk Wang are working with each other, forming a corner trend. ”
Although Hong Chengchou defeated Wang Jiayun in Fugu and Huang Fuchuan, Zhang Xianzhong in Qingjian, and Wang Zuohang in Suide, it was to no avail. ”
"Because the displaced people don't have their own fixed territory at all, it looks like it will collapse at the touch of a button, but in fact it has no effect at all. As long as the imperial court can't come up with a way to feed the displaced people, as soon as the officials and troops retreat, they will inevitably gather and recover. ”
Xiong Chu nodded: "I know this very well, in the past six years or so, I have traveled tens of thousands of miles, which can be described as immersive, and I have seen too much." Those outcasts were originally meant to starve to death, but in order to be a full ghost, they would not care about life and death. What exactly are we facing now?"
Miao Sanguan finally calmed down, and when he heard it, he responded: "It is precisely because the displaced people gather and disperse, disperse and reunite, and make the court tired, so not long ago, the imperial court promulgated the 'joint sitting law', which is called "Protecting the People's Training". ”
"It is stipulated that ten households in the countryside are one A, and they must act together in normal times to receive a A card. As long as one person joined the rebel army, all the more than 100 people in this armor were executed. ”
Xiong Chu shook his head: "Treating the symptoms but not the root cause, this is useless." As far as I know, once the rebel army comes, it will definitely be all ten households in the first class and all join the rebel army. The method of joint sitting is only based on the fact that the imperial court can support them. Now that the imperial court does not give food, it has no effect at all. ”
Miao Sanguan nodded: "The lord has a point, this is just taken for granted by the scholars of the imperial court." As everyone knows, hundreds of thousands of people starve to death every day, and even their own people can eat, so who is afraid of death? The ancients said: People are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?
"However, the imperial court came up with such a joint sitting method, although it is useless for the homeless, but it has a great impact on us. The lord must have known that Zhu Changying, the king of Gui in our east, has almost built the palace now, so he began to rectify the surroundings. ”
"Half a month ago, I started to clean up the household registration and issue a guarantee card. Although we haven't come here yet, sooner or later there will be troops coming to investigate. How to deal with this situation still needs the lord to come up with a policy. ”
Xiong Chu touched his head: "This is really a problem, old master, how many of us are here now?"
Peng Wuying said with a smile: "I'm amazing now, I am the magistrate of Xintian County officially appointed by the imperial court. At present, there are more than 20,000 regular troops and more than 40,000 reserve soldiers who are secretly training, and they are all secretly training in Nanshangou. ”
"Because we secretly brought in 290,000 displaced people, our county is small in size, but it has a large population, and it is now close to 400,000 people. And they are all over the age of five and under the age of thirty. ”
"What we're worried about is that if Zhu Changying, the king of Hengzhou in the east, knows that we have more than 200,000 troops here, it will be bad. The lord, Zhu Changying's direct control of zhì originally had an army of nearly 200,000, and the entire Jiangnan and Huguang were within his range. ”
Xiong Chu nodded: "I heard Li Qing say that there are 20,000 troops stationed in Guiyang Prefecture in the southeast, and there is a lot of pressure on us. Judging from the current situation, the population is all concentrated in Xintian County. This will definitely not work, and we must find a way to open up a new secret base and divert some of the young and middle-aged people out. ”
At this moment, Han Bingru suddenly came in and reported: "A messenger came from Dongting Lake, and now he is seriously injured and unconscious. ”
