Chapter 15 Marching into Tongzhou

At this time, the most people coming in and out of Zhuozhou City were people from the Jianghu. Among them were not only spies from the imperial court, but also local ruffians who came from all over to join the army.

The first thing they wanted to vote for was the Shenwu Army of the White Lotus Sect, but after asking around in the city, they found out that everyone said that the Red Army with the word "Dragon" was the best, but when they went to ask, they found out that the Red Army had already collected enough.

They are holding a ceremony to worship the heaven in the north of the city and are preparing to send troops to attack Bei Jing.

Today is also the day when the White Lotus Sect took over the city of Zhuozhou from Zhu Qian. In the past few days, the Military Law Department, led by Yu Song, was recruiting people from all over the city. Anyone who harassed the people and robbed or bought gold merchants was

He was taken to prison, interrogated, and upon conviction, his head was beheaded and hung at the city gate. This was a killing that left everyone in the city looking pale.

Now that Zhu Gan led the army to leave, many people in the city were relieved, but it also made the people a little reluctant. Zhu Gan's army was stationed in the city. Although the big households were affected, they did not harm the people.

, and even occasionally distribute relief food.

Flags were fluttering outside the city, and two thousand red-coated troops stood in twenty square formations. From recruitment to training, a rough prototype was formed in just two days. This was due to the extremely high literacy rate in the army.

Although their physical fitness is generally a bit poor, at least they have a strong sense of discipline.

Although there are rumors that the White Lotus Sect has attacked Zhuozhou City, the senior officials of the White Lotus Sect are not optimistic about the uprising here. It will be quickly extinguished by the three major battalions of the capital. Therefore, many backbones have come, but the eight guardians are still only Xu Mao and

Yang Ling, at this time the differences between the two are getting bigger and bigger.

Yang Ling advocated following the army north to attack Bei Jing City, but Xu Mao opposed it clearly and did not save any face for Yang Ling. His domineering behavior, after entering the city, ordered his soldiers to plunder the people in the city, which can be seen

Generally speaking, Zhu Qian did not give him any good fruits to eat. All the culprits were arrested and their heads were displayed to the public.

Xu Mao stood on the top of the city, looked at the military formation below, and sneered: "It's just some showboating. What kind of war can the talented soldiers fight? It's a good thing if they don't pee their pants on the battlefield."

Yang Ling was dressed in blue with a misty skirt. She turned to look at Xu Mao. If the guy below hadn't betrayed her, she would be able to blackmail the emperor and order the world. But now everyone in the White Lotus Sect regards her as a

His accomplices are simply not human inside and out.

In this situation, she didn't dare to mention the idea of ​​marching into Beijing together. She could only watch the great opportunity slip away from her eyes. All of this was caused by the guy below. She believed in him so much, but he chose

Betrayed.

At this time, Zhu Qian, who was hated by Yang Ling, stood under the city. The composition of these twenty small square formations may seem to others to be somewhat advanced or retreating, but in Zhu Qian's eyes, this continuous formation

I can't even achieve one percent of what I want, but there's nothing I can do about it. Who wants the training time to be short?

"Pull them up." Zhu Qian also wore a red round-collared straight jacket, and hung an Qiushui Yanling knife on his waist. He stood on the makeshift general commanding platform, looking quite high-spirited and giving guidance to the country.

As soon as Zhu Gan's words came out, the crowd of onlookers cheered and saw soldiers suppressing a long list of criminals. These were all officials, big and small, in Zhuozhou City. Except for Yu Tai, everyone confessed after being reported by the people.

, all of them have been convicted of corruption, murder and other crimes. The crimes are too numerous to list, and each one of them is enough to kill them with a thousand knives.

The first person to be escorted was naturally Zhizhou, and the second one was Tongzhi. They were counted one by one. The officials who were usually aloof and superior were now like plucked roosters, their clothes were messy, their heads were lowered, and their eyes were dim.

Kneeling, not to mention that the people were very angry.

"Kill these dog officials."

"I paid five taels of silver to buy their meat, and like the dog thief Yuan Chonghuan did back then, I tasted whether their meat was also sour."

"Yuan Chonghuan has been dead for several years! Back then, he chased the Tatars and didn't do much. But as soon as the Tatars left, he recaptured several cities, which caused great harm to our people. At that time, the capital

The people around are complaining about it. Now that the Tatars are still entering the country, they are finished without seeing the Ming Dynasty. Will General Cao still not defend Xuanda?"

"Isn't the Ming Dynasty coming to an end soon? I didn't expect Prince Fu to be here."

"Shhh! Just be quiet. We just need to take care of ourselves. At most, we will just change the emperor, and there will still be people on top collecting taxes."

Seeing that when the time came, Zhu Gan would of course have to do a complete play, so he took out the temporary fake edict and read it aloud: "By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: I did not accept the loyal advice, so my words were blocked, and I flattered the people."

, sycophants are lucky to be in power, and corrupt officials are successful. Taxation drains the wealth of the people... Remembering the difficulties of Taizu in starting a business, all men of our Ming Dynasty, no matter nobles or civilians, are martyrs with both loyalty and righteousness, and they will be led by the king of Qin from all over the world, and the kings of the world will lead their troops

King Qin, march into the capital, annihilate the traitors, and secure our country!"

From the perspective of a sensible person, this edict is complete nonsense, but there are always some people who like to deceive others, not just the common people, but also some officials, so this kind of formality is useful, and Zhu Qian will not be so pedantic.

.

"Kill!" Zhu Gan pulled out his sword and thrust it hard into the sky under the scorching sun.

As soon as the word "kill" came out, the swordsman pulled out the token from the prisoner's neck, swung the ghost-headed sword, and heads rolled down one after another. Every time a head rolled down, it always aroused cheers from the people watching the excitement below.

, the voice got louder and louder every time, until the last person.

"Go to war!" Zhu Gan mounted a gray donkey and walked forward at the lead. There was no way, there were too few horses available, so they had to use them to carry the weapons and equipment.

Zhu Qian was an ace special forces member in his previous life, so riding a horse was no problem, but now he feels quite comfortable riding a donkey. Firstly, his injury needs to be healed slowly and it is not suitable for bumps. Secondly, he has to prepare for the one below.

Good head, share the joys and sorrows.

The three major battalions of the capital, from the day when the edict was issued to the day they assembled for the expedition, marched sixty miles for two days and two nights with unprecedented efficiency. It was really strange. They arrived at Zhuozhou City smoothly without meeting a single person along the way.

Thieves in red, of course some of them don't want to meet them either.

The distance is less than sixty miles, and the slowest walking can take one round trip in a day. At this time, Zhu Gan's efficiency was much faster than that of the three major camps. He set out from Zhuozhou and reached the foot of the capital in less than half a day. But this time

However, he was not wearing red clothes, but an ordinary member's outer shirt.

Looking at the prosperity near the capital, Zhu Gan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but now is not the time.

Yu Song, who was following Zhu Qian, was now wearing a blue silk shirt, dressed as a servant. His unusually tall figure was very eye-catching, and his cold face caused passers-by to avoid him.

Zhu Gan turned his head and glanced at him, and said jokingly: "You were merciless in killing people in Zhuozhou City. Others called you a black-faced evil god and avoided you. You are what I said.

General, look at Gao Qiang again. He usually smiles, but he is equally ruthless when killing people, but he is not offensive at all. He is my General Ha. Hehe, the two generals are here. Get rid of it. Don't be so serious.

Aren't you telling others that we are rebels?"

Gao Qiang immediately laughed at himself: "I have more than enough, but I am not as strong as I am. I am a black-faced evil god, a red-faced devil, and two generals, Heng Heng. I assist my lord and dominate the world. Listen to how these yellow-mouthed children sing about us. It seems like they are singing

It's like a big drama, we are all scholars, and now we have our own nicknames just like the peasant army."

"This also shows the public sentiment, doesn't it? After three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, people's minds changed, and they all thought that a change would lead to a better life. So when we moved in Zhuozhou, the whole world responded. However, the sages have said since ancient times, Xing

, the people suffer, die, the people suffer, all we have to do is to make the people suffer as much as possible, then the only ones who stand in our way are suffering." Yu Song said with a dark face.

I don't know whether he kept a straight face because he joined the Red Army and was not very used to the things in the sages' books, or because his temperament was always like this, and now he started killing more and more.

"Okay, I've seen Beijing City, and it's time to go back. One day, we will take over here, and we will be the only winners in the end. I firmly believe this." Zhu Gan shook off the paper fan with a snap.

, walked aside, took a donkey from the guard, and after riding on it, a large group of people passed by Bei Jing City in a mighty manner. At this moment, the wheel of history began to deviate from the track due to a small vibration.

At this time, there were not many troops around Beijing City. Chen Qiyu was the prime minister of the five provinces and military, Cao Wenzhao was in charge of the political propaganda, and the three major battalions went south. However, under such circumstances, Zhu Qian was able to resist the temptation and did not touch Beijing City.

,Bei Jing City is like a huge political cake, but unfortunately it can only be seen but not eaten, and it does not have enough strength.

The target is Beitongzhou, the starting point of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. This is the most important channel for transporting materials to the city of Beijing. There are countless large and small ships coming and going every day of the year, and countless grains are stored here.

, one million warehouses of rice. This amount of food is enough to feed the entire city of Beijing for a year.

Zhu Qian knew this very clearly, so he just quietly led his troops across Bei Jing and headed for Tongzhou, which showed that he was a clear-minded and practical person.

However, the food in Tongzhou City is not his ultimate goal, but because there are ships here, many, many ships, enough to transport his troops south. He needs a foundation, and the south is the right place, but he does not know how to go south.

Go and touch them. The gentry there are powerful enough. If you touch them, you will only cause trouble for yourself.

At this time, in Tongzhou City, mule carts and horsemen were coming and going. An army in red suddenly appeared on the official road between Tongzhou and Beijing. Countless people followed the wind, and the news was immediately

When the news reached Bei Jing City, more than a million officials and people in the city were shocked. They were even more shocked than when the cavalry came here after the Tumu Fort Incident.

Monsters are causing trouble, and the Ming Dynasty is about to fall! Countless people began to pack their packages, and scholar-bureaucrats also began to write letters to King Fu. Will the Battle of Jingnan happen again? Can a second Yu Shaobao come out to turn the tide? Who knows?
