Blood from Daming

Chapter 825 Gathering in Shanxi
What Yu Wanqin meant was that her husband, Xue Yun, has not come back, and everything must be forbearance. Lin Danhan is short-sighted, so don't argue too much with him, and you must not slacken the slightest bit of slack in Huang Taiji, so she strongly advocates to cooperate with Lin Danhan to Chaha Erbu crusade against Jianlu, but it has been close to the end of the year, and the crusade against Jianlu will have to start in the spring of next year at the earliest.

Now the headache for Yu Wanqin, apart from Jianlu starting to make guns and cannons, is Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, Xue Qingyi, Xiao Shenjiang, Liu Guoyong and other troops temporarily living in the Xue Family Army camp in Fengzhen. Husband, Xue Shi blames himself for still having a little affection for Xue Zong, Xue Qingyi listens to what Yu Wanqin and Xue Aoren say, the most annoyed Sichuan Army General Xiao Can wants to go back to Sichuan, and Liu Guoyong's troops are also homesick.

This time Ji Tianen escorted [-] carts of goods, mainly for the Harizhula and Chahar Departments. Yu Wanqin also rewarded Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, Xue Qingyi, Xiao Shenjiang, Liu Guoyong and other departments, hoping to be able to Trying to retain these people, Xue Liu felt that being so vague was not the way. These people all had ideas, and if they didn't tell them a clear way, would Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, Xue Qingyi, Xiao Shenjiang, Liu Guoyong and others keep doing it? invisible Man.

Yu Wanqin knew what Xue Liu meant, that she was going to have a showdown with Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, Xue Qingyi, Xiao Canjiang, Liu Guoyong and others, but the matter mentioned by her husband was too involved, so that Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, Xue Qingyi, Xiao Canjiang, Liu Guoyong, etc. When others know, Nanming will leak the news and cause unnecessary troubles, but Yang Zhenlei also has the same opinion as Xue Liu. Now that the Xue family army is in the same situation as the imperial court, it is well known that the Xue family army wants to overthrow the imperial court. Tell Xue Jiu, Xue Liu [-]. Let Xue Qingyi, Xiao Shenjiang, Liu Guoyong and others make a decision.

Yang Zhenlei and Xue Liu both expressed their intention to recruit Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, Xue Qingyi, Xiao Shenjiang, Liu Guoyong and others with rebellion, so Yu Wanqin had no choice but to follow the good example and agreed that Xue Liu would go to Fengzhen to fight for Xue Jiu, Xue Qingyi and others. [-]. Questions from Xue Qingyi, Xiao Canjiang, Liu Guoyong and others.

Xue Liu went to Fengzhen to show off Xue Jiajun's ideas. Naturally, Xue Jiu didn't need to say anything. Xue Shi and Xue Qingyi also calmed down. Ji Laxi and Chaganbari in Fengzhen were two men and horses. Jilasi surrendered to Harijula, and Chaganbari had a long-standing enemy with the Horqin tribe and was unwilling to stay under Harijula's tent. Chaganbari found Xue Liu in private. Complaining, Xue Liu had no choice but to discuss with Harijula, and brought Chaganbari back to Datong City.

During the four-year Spring Festival in Chongzhen, the soldiers and civilians of Datong Prefecture, who made a small profit a year ago, had a joyous Spring Festival, but after the beginning of spring, Shanxi was in chaos. The peasant army who had eaten up their lives in Shaanxi began to cross the Yellow River into Shanxi on a large scale. At that time, Wang Guoliang, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, led his army to the border of Shanxi and blocked the peasant army from crossing the Yellow River into Shanxi.

In fact, as early as the third year of Chongzhen, the Shaanxi Peasant Army captured half of the territory of Pingyang Mansion by Wang Ziyong and Dian Dengzi. Going east to the Yellow River Ferry in Shanxi inspired the hungry and cold Shaanxi Peasant Army to enter Jin.

There are: Eight Great Kings (Zhang Xianzhong), Sweeping King, Xing Honglang, Heisha God, Cao (Luo Rucai), Troubled Times King, Chuangjiang (Li Zicheng), Crashing the Sky (Liu Guoneng), Mantianxing, Li Jinwang, Dangjia . ), Girl, Qi Tianwang, Yingshanhong, Cuishanhu, Chongtianzhu, Youlihua, Yilieyan (Geliyan He Yilong), etc., plus Zijin Liangwang for his own use, Zhao Sheng, who lights the lamp, and Ma Shouying, the old Huihui, There are as many as 36 battalions, with a total of nearly 30 troops.

In May of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Wang Jiayin's team entered Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi Province and joined Prime Minister Wang Ziyong. The original 1 people expanded to 3. Wang Jiayin felt that his strength had greatly increased, and wanted to form an alliance with various Shaanxi rebels in Shanxi. Taking into account the old friendship, Wang Ziyong agreed to choose a day to call each other's blood to form an alliance.

Wang Jiayin was in a good mood, ignoring Cao Wenzhao, the Deputy General of Shaanxi who came after him. Cao Wenzhao learned through his eyeliner that Wang Jiayin was extremely corrupt and chaotic, and he was ruthless to the sister of the general Zhang Liwei (Wang Jiayin's wife). He hated Wang Jiayin very much, Cao Wenzhao thought it was an opportunity to let his eyeliner persuade Zhang Liwei to turn his back on him, and if he could capture and kill Wang Jiayin, he would pay him as a general.

The profit-hungry Zhang Liwei met with Cao Wenzhao for a talk. Zhang Liwei and Cao Wenzhao made a poisonous plan. On the second day of June, Zhang Liwei colluded with his sister and friend Wang Guozhong. Get Wang Jiayin drunk, then stab Wang Jiayin to death together with Wang Guozhong, then set fire to it, and join forces with Cao Wenzhao's officers and troops. Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao went straight to the camps of the rebel army. , Wang Jiayin's Youcheng Bai Yuzhu did not escape this time, so he had to surrender to Cao Wenzhao.

The rebels from all walks of life in Shaanxi who were waiting for Wang Jiayin to be the leader of the alliance in Pu County, learned that Wang Jiayin was defeated and died, and they all recommended Zijin Liang Wang Ziyong as the leader of the 36th Battalion of the Shaanxi Rebel Army. After some work, the 36th Battalion's goal was to focus on Jiangzhou, which is still relatively affluent, and Wang Ziyong's head suddenly became dizzy when he got the news.

At this time, great changes took place in Shaanxi. Yang He's strategy of "mainly recruiting, supplemented by pursuing and suppressing" in Shaanxi, under Yang He's efforts, although some success was achieved, most of the rebels in Shaanxi accepted recruitment. However, Yang He had no money and no food to appease, so the rebels in Shaanxi surrendered and rebelled. The inspector censor Wu Wei, who presided over the relief work in Yansui, played the role of Yang He as the leader of the country, which became the last straw that overwhelmed Yang He. Emperor Chongzhen was furious, and ordered Jinyiwei to arrest Yang He and garrison Yuanzhou.

This made Hong Chengchou, who tried his best to suppress him, become the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi. As soon as Hong Chengchou came to power, he set his sights on the rebel army in Shanxi and the Xue family army in Shanxi, hoping to use the conflict between the rebel army and the Xue family army to fight each other, so that the Shaanxi government army could benefit from it. So Hong Chengchou chased and suppressed Shen Yikui, Tan Xiong, Yicheng, Yiduoyun, Xue Hongqi, Huntian Monkey, etc., while watching the Shanxi Rebel Army and Xue Jiajun take the opportunity to carry out conspiracy and tricks.

The 36th Battalion of the Rebel Army captured Xiangling, Jizhou, Taiping, Quwo, Daning, Xizhou, Zezhou, Shouyang and other cities, plus half of Pingyang Prefecture. Shanxi was occupied by the rebels from Hequ to Pujin. If the Pingyang Mansion in Jiangzhou is taken by the rebels, this will make the leader Zijin Liang Wang's heart beat.

In the 36th Battalion of Rebels, Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king who newly rebelled against Hong Chengchou, was the most active in attacking Jiangzhou. The only reason was that Jiangzhou had a relationship with the Xue family army. Li Zicheng escaped by chance, and he believed that Xue Jiajun was in the same group as Ai Juren from his hometown and Yan Zibin, the magistrate of Mizhi County. The argument does not appear to be positive.

Li Zicheng was born in August of the 34th year of Wanli. He was born in Li Jiqian Village, Mizhi County. He is a descendant of the Dangxiang tribe in Xixia. Li Zicheng liked spears, horses and sticks when he was young.Li Zicheng was dismissed because he lost his official documents, and when he returned home from work, he was tricked by Ai Juren to owe usury. Because Li Zicheng couldn't pay the debt owed by Juren Ai Zhao, his wife Han Jiner paid Ai Ju for compensation, and was sued by Ai Juren to the Mizhi County Government.Yan Zibin, the county magistrate, "wandered around the city with a weapon and will put him to death."

Li Zicheng escaped from the county government and killed the creditor Ai Zhao and his wife Han Jiner. Another adulterer named Gai Hu in the village escaped. He joined the army in Ganzhou under Yang Zhaoji, the general soldier of Ganzhou. Li Zicheng was born as a post soldier and was good at horseback riding and archery.

However, Li Zicheng's wildness should not be wrong. In the same year's Yuzhong pay incident, he killed the generals Wang Guo and the Yuzhong county magistrate who valued him highly, and led the mutiny officers and soldiers to join Wang Zuogua's peasant army. Li Zicheng turned to Buzhanni Zhang Cunmeng and became the captain of Buzhanni Zhang Cunmeng's eighth team, which is the old eighth team that was often mentioned later in the camp.

Although Li Zicheng is now in the rebel army and has been recognized by everyone for his toughness and skill in fighting, it shouldn't be that his boss Zhang Cunmeng is still there. The vast majority of the rebels have strengthened the determination of those Jiangzhou, and the leaders of the rebels even said to Wang Ziyong that if Jiangzhou city was captured, Wang Ziyong would be established as emperor, which made the leader of the alliance Wang Ziyong shaken for a while.

On July 27th of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zijin Liang Wang himself led more than 20 rebels to surround Jiangzhou City and Wuping Pass, and ordered Jiangzhou and Wuping Pass to surrender within three days, otherwise they will be destroyed in three days. , Wen Cunyang, the general manager of Wuping Pass, tried his best to cooperate with Wang Dajun and Lei Batian to defend Jiangzhou City and Wuping Pass, waiting for the rescue of Xue Jiajun of Datong.

Different from Hong Chengchou's sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight, Pingyang government officials once benefited from Xue's army in Pu County, and also hoped that the rogues in Pingyang's government would join forces with the Xue's army. With both rogues and Xue's army suffering losses, let's see if Pingyang's government can still get millet out of the fire Therefore, Pingyang Mansion sent an urgent delivery of [-] miles to Datong General Military Mansion.

The eight-hundred-mile express delivery from Pingyang Mansion arrived at noon on July 28, and Datong’s Xue Jiajun received information on July 25 that the Shaanxi 36th Battalion rebels were about to attack Jiangzhou. Yu Wanqin made some preparations for the expedition. Knowing that Pingyang Mansion urgently reported that the Shaanxi Rebel Army actually dispatched more than 20 troops in an attempt to take down Wuping Pass in Jiangzhou City in one fell swoop, it was too late for Yu Wanqin to wait for Harijula's troops.

Yu Wanqin discussed with Xue Liu and Yang Zhenlei. Given the strength of the Shaanxi Rebel Army was too strong, the Xue Family Army in Jiangzhou and Wupingguan did not know how long they could last, so they unanimously decided that Xue Liu would lead a part of the Datong Xue Family Army to Pingyang Mansion to contain the Shaanxi Rebel Army The attack on Wuping Pass in Jiangzhou City.

On July 29th, Xue Liu led 4000 soldiers from the Xuejia Army's Firearms Battalion, 2000 cavalry soldiers, and 4000 guards, and left Qingyuan in a mighty way. When fighting in Jiangzhou, Yu Wanqin said that there is no need to decline for the time being. Generals Zhang and Liang knew that Jiangzhou would suffer heavy casualties, and they were very moved by Yu Wanqin's refusal to use them. Tens of thousands of Mongolian iron cavalry came from the north, and went south around the west wall of Datong City. The soldiers and civilians of Datong City knew about this, and Xue's army tore off the veil that was covered.
