Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

After Wu Shigong returned to Runing in mid-December, he took an infantry regiment of the Runing Army brought by Yang Rusong non-stop and drove to Ye County, Nanyang to support the Runing Army that was going on the expedition.And when he arrived in Ye County, it was already a great victory in Ruzhou.

Nothing to say, let's deal with the aftermath first.The credit is distributed one, two, three, four, five, and then the capture and prisoners are dealt with.In fact, there is nothing to deal with.Of course, all the captives were taken back to the Runing army camp, while some of the captives were kept and thrown into the mines as coolies, and the rest were all brought back to Runing.

The Runing Army had no way of distinguishing between the peasant rebel army and the captured local people.Many of the peasant rebels were natives of Henan, and it was impossible for Xue Yongli to separate them into different categories when he escorted them, so when they mixed up and returned to Ye County, how could they tell who was who?Ning kills the wrong one, don't let it go, and simply escorts them all back to Runing.

In Nanyang, Wu Shigong only left one regiment of the Nanyang Army and the Cavalry Army.It is impossible to station all the troops in Ye County for a long time.If the peasant rebel army invaded Runing or Guide through Kaifeng Mansion, the top-heavy arrangement of the Runing Army would cause serious problems.

Besides, Ye County can't supply the food and grass for so many troops at all, and mobilizing and transporting food and grass from the rear of Runing is also a waste of time and money, so they simply withdrew to Runing first after confirming that there was no threat for the time being.Of course, the Army of Return to Germany still had to walk a long way to retreat to Germany.

After suffering the defeat in Ruzhou, the peasant rebel army of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai immediately stayed away from the area of ​​operation of the Runing Army.However, after they collected the fleeing army and gathered the local refugees in Henan, the number of them returned to nearly 10 before the war.However, in this battle, they lost a total of more than a thousand veterans. Although they could not be said to be injured, they were definitely very painful.So in a short period of time, they no longer dared to advance in the direction that the Runing Army was retreating.

And Xuanmo, governor of Henan, who received the news of the great victory in Ruzhou.Immediately leading Zuo Liangyu, Tang Jiuzhou, Li Bei, Deng Qi, Cao Wenzhao and other ministries across the Yellow River became active.And Emperor Chongzhen also ordered Xuanmo to control the three generals, and had the right to kill first and then play.

The Ming army was divided into two groups. Henan governor Xuanmo personally led the two generals Tang Jiuzhou and Zuo Liangyu to defeat the civilian army three times in Wuyang, Bao'an, and Biyang.And one of them was when Xuanmo led Tang Kyushu to attack the bandit camp in Wucheng every night in the snow and smashed it.This really has the demeanor of Li Yanxue attacking Caizhou at night!

But the peasant rebel army, which swelled up all of a sudden, was beaten down and swelled down immediately.The number of people was reduced to 10,000+ people.The peasant rebel army began to move to the mountains of western Henan and Huguang.

The mountainous area is a safe haven for the peasant rebel army. Whenever the peasant rebel army is injured, they will hide in the deep mountains and old forests to recuperate, and wait until they recover their vitality before coming out to activities.

Although the government and army were able to defeat the peasant rebel army many times in the plains, they did not have the strength to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress them. Once the peasant rebel army entered the mountains, the government and army could only look at the mountains and sigh.

And the peasant rebel army moved to the mountainous areas on a large scale.But there was one person in a hurry, and that person was Yunyang Fuzhi Jiang Yunyi.

Yunyang is located at the junction of the four provinces of Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, and Huguang.Since ancient times, banditry has been prone to occur, and it is known as "thieves' troupe".

And when the peasant rebel army moved to the mountainous area.Yunyang is a must pass.It was also an ideal destination, so it soon became the headquarters base of the Peasant Rebel Army.

But Jiang Yunyi saw a large number of peasant rebels gathered in the Yunyang area, and expected that the peasant rebels would attack Yunyang City sooner or later.He himself was unable to prevent the entry of the peasant rebel army, and it was difficult to ensure that Yunyang City would not be lost. He had already seen that his own tragedy would soon be staged.So he set out to save himself.

Jiang Yunyi complained to the emperor: Yunyang is a poor place. He has done a lot of work in the two years since he took office, building the city and accumulating rice.It is also manufacturing weapons and training soldiers, and has achieved considerable results.However, because Yunyang's foundation is too weak, this achievement can only be avoided to maintain the situation.It's like a poor family who can get through a disaster year by getting a bucket of rice. They can only make ends meet and can't do other things.

The implication is that I am unable to stop the peasant rebel army from entering Yunyang, and I cannot take responsibility for the loss of Yunyang City.

Although Jiang Yunyi said that "the minister is not ashamed to die, he should die in anger" and "the one who regrets the emperor seals the ears of the border", but judging from what he said, the intention of getting rid of himself and getting a vaccination is in the noble cloak of worrying about the country and the king. Down, ready to come out.

Jiang Yunyi's words were very euphemistic, but what he said made sense, and the little Yunyang really couldn't deal with the peasant rebel army coming like a tide.However, his reasoning was not accepted, no matter how you say it, retreating before a battle is a serious crime.

It is also because Emperor Chongzhen is a person who only looks at the results and not the reasons. He has no time to study the reasons, but pursues the responsibility very directly and mercilessly. What he is best at is managing people.

Therefore, Jiang Yunyi didn't see the tragedy being staged first, so she performed a goodbye kiss first.

Jiang Yunyi's crying was counterproductive. Not long after, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Jiang Yunyi to be dismissed and interrogated.

In fact, Jiang Yunyi is not a mediocre person. He has made great achievements in Yunyang and won the hearts of the people. Therefore, when Jin Yiwei arrested Jiang Yunyi, the local people cried.

It can be seen from this that Jiang Yunyi is a famous official who governs the country in prosperous times, but in troubled times, he is a civil servant who does not take care of him.It can only be said that he was born at the wrong time!

Not to mention the tragic character Jiang Yunyi.Fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng, who succeeded Jiang Yunyi as Yunyang Fuzhi, was not an idler. Although he was a literati, he was brave and courageous.And with Lu Xiangsheng entering Yunyang, there is also the Tianxiong Army trained by him.With Lu Xiangsheng's efforts, Yunyang City was miraculously held.

Due to the excellent performance of Henan Governor Xuanmo, the Runing Army's control area is completely safe, and in the entire first month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Runing Army also got a longer rest period.

After the great victory in Ruzhou, the governor of Henan Xuanmo really wanted to recruit the three powerful armies of Guidewei, Runingying and Yexianying (this is the official name of the Ming court) who created the great victory in Ruzhou, but Wu Shigong However, Li Lu, Zhao Ming and Zhao Ming all reported to Xuanmo that although the victory in Ruzhou was great, the losses of these three armies were also considerable, so military operations could not be launched for the time being.In order to strengthen his persuasion, Zhao Ming's "injury" became even more serious.

Besides, it was Li Bingbeidao who came to Runing to recruit in person, and Li Bingbeidao has not paid the Runing Army for such a long time, how could the Runing Army give him a good face?

The reasons of the Runing Army are indeed reasonable, and with the several victories of Henan governor Xuan Mo, the action to encircle and suppress the peasant rebel army went smoothly, so Xuanmo's intention to recruit the Runing Army is not so urgent.

So the external troubles subsided a little, and the internal fighting began immediately.After Li Bingbeidao was humiliated by the Runing Army, he immediately joined the local officials in Ruzhou to issue a letter of impeachment to the imperial court. The content of the impeachment was that the Runing Army harmed the local area and the people. (To be continued..)
