Chapter 255: Shaking the Capital

Chapter 255: Shaking the Capital
Wei Congyi and Ma Bu plundered all the way and coerced them all the way. Within two days, they even coerced two thousand households, about ten thousand people.

Only then did Wei Congyi discover that coercing the people is even more difficult than leading an army.These people have no discipline at all, not to mention running around, it is difficult to pass military orders.

Wei Congyi angrily killed several disobedient people, but these people still went their own way and couldn't manage them at all.Not to mention that although the old and weak, women and children were organized into one battalion, it turned out that it was impossible to distinguish between the young and the young, and it was impossible to punish them.

Wei Congyi had to reluctantly dispatch more than a hundred cavalry to serve as Shichang, Bochang and other positions, with multiple banners, which seemed to be very powerful.In fact, it was a mess, and fifty cavalry were reluctantly left as personal guards; the other fifty cavalry were dispatched to patrol both sides of the army, and if they saw those who did not obey the military orders, or tried to escape, or were lazy, they were hacked to death on the spot.

Wei Congyi and his party managed to get out of Fangshan County and marched to the vicinity of Lugou Bridge. They were called "Xiao Yuchi, the great general of the Northern Expedition under the command of King Shun, who led [-] elite troops to conquer the Ming capital!"

Suddenly, the military situation was like flying snowflakes, drifting towards the Qianqing Palace in the capital.Emperor Chongzhen, his cabinet ministers and the six ministers couldn't help feeling extremely nervous.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Hou Jin entered the pass, and the shock caused by the capital is still fresh in his memory. Now that the "rogue bandits" have invaded the vicinity of the capital again, the government and the public can't help but panic again.

Fortunately, Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, is an old man who seeks the country. He said: "'Rogue bandits' scurrying around are like fish; officers and soldiers are like hooks. Although there are many hooks, it is impossible to catch all the fish. Occasionally, two or three slip through the net. It is inevitable. Shocked Shengjia."

"From my point of view, since the rogues have fled into the capital, they are just a small group of thieves. They only need to coerce the people to create momentum. They only need to dispatch a group of officers and soldiers to block them, so that we can know the depth. The capital will arrange defense in time. If the officers and soldiers win, it's just a false alarm; if the officers and soldiers lose, then they can't lose the safe plan!"

After hearing this, Chongzhen felt more at ease, but he was still a little worried.Wen Tiren observed the words and expressions, and said: "Although Zhang Shangshu's plan is good, it is not perfect. Your Majesty is in the capital, and you are a man of gold. How can you easily take risks? It should be ordered to mobilize troops and horses to serve the king!"

Zhou Yanru quickly retorted when he heard the words: "The thieves are fleeing, and they must be fast. If it is as Zhang Shangshu said, it is just a false alarm; we will make a big fight because of this, and the world will laugh! If the thieves are really powerful, the world will be defeated." The horses are far away, how can the distant water quench the near thirst?"

"Although there are few thieves, they are just laughing for the world; if the thieves are powerful, wouldn't they put the center of the country and the emperor at risk? The safety of the emperor or the ridicule of the world, which is more important?" Wen Tiren retorted after hearing the words.

Hearing the words, Zhang Fengyi looked at the two elders, and he could not afford to offend anyone, so he had to compromise and remonstrated: "Your Majesty has a body of gold, so you should be cautious. I didn't think carefully. Why don't you call the nearby Tongzhou and Jizhou?" King Ma Qin of the two guards is safe in this way, even if there is a false alarm, he will not go to war and be ridiculed by the people of the world."

When Chongzhen heard this, he felt that this strategy was quite satisfactory, and he said: "Good! Let's act according to this plan! The previous high-level attack on Kong Youde was meritorious, and it happened that the teacher returned to the court, so he ordered him to lead an army and try it out. Thieves are false!"

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen made a decision with one word, all the courtiers stopped arguing and retreated, and went down to arrange execution matters.

Not to mention how the court made decisions, since Wei Congyi was near the Lugou Bridge, he should march, but he hesitated.

His family knew his own affairs, and although the harassment of the capital this time was massive, Wei Congyi knew that the "[-] army" would collapse at the first touch.You don't even need to touch it, you only need to climb up for a few days, and you can't control it, and you will disperse.

This Marco Polo Bridge just spans both banks of the Yongding River. If I lead this "one hundred thousand army" across the Marco Polo Bridge, I am afraid that once the army is defeated, it will be difficult for me to escape.Thinking of this, Wei Congyi simply stationed the "big army" on the south bank of Lugou Bridge, and made a bold cavalry shoot a letter of war to the capital.

At that time, Gao Qiqian had just received an order to lead the [-] Beijing battalion to test the rebel army.Gao Qiqian didn't take it seriously at first, the rebel Kong Youde had a great reputation, it's not like Gao Qiqian had never fought before.

It's just that after Gao Qiqian received Wei Congyi's letter of challenge, he couldn't help but hesitate.He had just returned to the capital, so he didn't know how deep the bandits were, how did all the bandits attack the capital in a blink of an eye?

After diving at such a high level and making sufficient preparations, and carrying a lot of firearms, he dared to go out of the city to confront Wei Congyi.In order to prevent Gao from sneaking into the battalion to spy on the truth, Wei Congyi deliberately sent his cavalry in turns to cover the scouts of the officers and soldiers.

Gao Qiqian tried it out, but he didn't dare to attack rashly.It turned out that at night, Wei Congyi pulled Master Mabu Ma out of the bed, led two hundred cavalry under his command, and ran westward all the way to the mouth of the horse.

In the early morning of the second day, Gao Qiqian heard the report from the scouts, and said: "For some reason, the opposite camp will cause chaos without a fight."

Hearing this, Gao Qiqian hurried out of the big tent, stood on a high place and looked at the camp on the other side of the river, and he saw that the camp on the other side was in chaos.Gao Qiqian knew that the military plane had appeared, and quickly ordered his Beijing camp to launch an attack.

This capital camp has not been used for many years, and it has long been corrupted.Fortunately, since Gao Qiqian became the supervisor of the army, he has made rapid progress and learned a lot of methods of using troops, so he strictly ordered the carefully selected [-] elites to launch an attack.

This Gao Qiqian really predicted things like a god, and he succeeded in using troops.The thieves on the other side of the river were about to collapse at the first touch, Gao Qiqian hurriedly led his own soldiers into battle, trying to capture the "thief chieftain" to claim credit.

In the end, after chasing and killing for more than ten miles, Gao Qiqian reluctantly withdrew his troops after he couldn't find the location of the "thief chief".

Gao Qiqian sent someone to bring a few captives, and after some interrogation, he found out that the "thief chieftain" on the opposite side had already fled overnight, and these more than ten thousand "thief bandits" were all civilians who were kidnapped in Fangshan and other places.

Gao Qiqian couldn't laugh or cry immediately, so he had to report the "great victory" while notifying Jingnan Checkpoint to search for "Xiao Weichi, the general of the Northern Expedition under the command of King Shun".

It is said that "Xiao Yuchi, the general of the Northern Expedition under the command of King Shun", left the camp at Lugouqiao and hurried all the way, preparing to return to Daumaguan to join Zhang Shun.

Never thought that Master Ma, seeing the horse's head heading south, quickly stopped Wei Congyi and said, "Where is the general going? Now that we are doing such a big thing, how can we go south? I guess the imperial court has already issued a document to search for us. If we If the footsteps are a little slow, you can't say that you have thrown yourself into a trap!"

Wei Congyi was taken aback when he heard the words, and felt that what this person said was reasonable, so he quickly asked: "In Master Ma's opinion, how should we leave?"

"General, there is a checkpoint to the west of this place. It is about two hundred miles away. It is called Mashuikou, and it is in Yizhou. From this point to the west, it can lead to Weizhou. The general can first transfer to Weizhou to avoid the government's pursuit, and then transfer to Weizhou. It's not too late to go south."

 Thanks to the fans of "Lucky God I Don't Know Where Is" for rewarding again, thank you
