Chapter 100 Thirty-six Battalion
Full text advertisement Chapter 100 Thirty-sixth Battalion
Looking at Hu Ke's leaving figure, Li Yan and Li Zicheng glanced at each other, then shook their heads helplessly, mounted their horses and left.
Following the route agreed upon with Gao Yingxiang in advance, Li Zicheng led his troops to rendezvous, and then accelerated towards Shanxi. Along the way, he had to pass through many prefectures, cities, and counties. The officers and soldiers guarding the city did not dare to intercept them, but squatted honestly.
In the city, the army of rogue bandits was worried about the pursuit of soldiers, so they did not attack the city, but they were in peace. When passing through ordinary towns, the rogue bandits also changed their past behavior and attacked ordinary people. However, when they encountered big families in the countryside, they were not honest.
To be polite, I just wiped out all the families and confiscated their property, but I also gave some to the surrounding people, which was regarded as robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
For those poor people, there is a little benefit, that is, the favor of the boss, and the bandits are grateful and called rebels. Li Yan will never let go of this opportunity, and immediately promotes the benefits of becoming a king to the people, and also makes up some jingles,
Teach everyone to sing in order to win people's hearts. What are these catchphrases? For example, "Eat Chuang Wang, drink Chuang Wang. When Chuang King comes, you won't pay for food!" "Eat his mother, follow her mother. If you don't eat enough, there will be Chuang Wang."
." "Don't do errands, don't pay for food, let's all have a good time."...
Such slogans, coupled with the rebels' robbing the rich and giving to the poor, have won Gao Yingxiang's troops a lot of good reputations along the way. Moreover, there are many people who have no food to eat and are mainly asking to join. In order to prevent the troops from going like before,
They are all uneven and have no combat effectiveness. Gao Yingxiang said that he would only accept young men, not young and old. Young men are the labor of the family. If they don’t want young and old, but only young men, the family will be ruined. So those who can participate,
It's a lot less. However, as long as they can participate, there is no burden, so it also adds a lot of combat power to the army.
On this day, the rogue army entered Shanxi. Their number expanded from the original 20,000 to 70,000. Each battalion received a certain amount of reinforcements. After entering Shanxi, they received news that Wang Ziyong was leading the troops.
They attacked Qinshui and held high the banner of righteousness to recruit rebels from all over the world to join the alliance. Now many of the beaten bandits who had fled into the mountains climbed out and rushed towards Qinshui.
When Wang Ziyong was in Shaanxi, he was the number one figure, and his reputation was second only to Wang Jiayin. Now that Wang Jiayin is dead, Wang Ziyong can be called the number one among the rogue bandits.
After receiving this news, Gao Yingxiang's troops did not stop and rushed towards Qinshui. Of course, wherever they went, they had to publicize the name of King Chuang. To go to Qinshui, they had to pass through many counties, but Gao Yingxiang was just on his way.
They didn't attack either. At most, they easily defeated the rich households in the countryside.
Qinshui belongs to Lu'an Prefecture. After entering the area under the jurisdiction of Lu'an Prefecture, he heard that Qinshui had been captured, and several rebels rushed to join together. There were 150,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses. Therefore, Gao Yingxiang rushed on his way.
We did nothing along the way. After a few days, we finally arrived at Qinshui.
When Wang Ziyong heard that Gao Yingxiang had arrived with 70,000 to 80,000 people, he was overjoyed and greeted him personally. After that, he had to kill pigs and sheep to have a good time. There were many bandit leaders who came to join the alliance, and everyone was at the banquet.
, in addition to saying some words of admiration to each other, it is to choose the alliance leader.
How can we make an alliance without an alliance leader?
In fact, everyone knows the position of the leader of the alliance. Wang Jiayin is about to die, and the one who can become the eldest brother is naturally Wang Ziyu, so it is unanimous that Wang Ziyu will be the leader of the alliance.
With Wang Ziyong as the leader, they are collectively called the Thirty-six Battalions. The leaders of these thirty-six battalions are: Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, Sweeping King, Xing Honglang, Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong, Black Evil God, Cao Cao Luo Rucai, King of Troubled Times, and General Li Zicheng.
Liu Guoneng, Man Tian Xing, Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, Li Jin Wang, Dang Family, Ba Jingang, Hun Tian Wang, Scorpion Block Tuo Yangkun, Lamplighter Zhao Sheng, Not Sticking to the Mud Zhang Cunmeng, Zhang Miaoshou, Bai Jiuer, Gust of Wind
, Qilang, Great Heavenly King Gao Jian, Nine Dragons, Four Heavenly Kings Li Yangchun, Heavenly Monkey Liu Jiusi, Yatouzi, Qi Tianwang, Yingshanhong, Destroying Mountain Tiger, Soaring Pillar, Youli Slippery, Leather Eyes He Yilong, etc.
Each battalion is relatively independent, and the leaders of each battalion have no control over each other. There is a leadership relationship. They work together at different times and fight on their own. Just like the group of people in Chuang Taotian. Although they rely on Gao Yingxiang, they only have one mind when fighting. It can be said that usually
Just go.
This alliance of rogue bandits has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses. With so many people and horses, they need to eat and drink. Therefore, everyone decided that Wang Ziyong would lead the attack on Taiyuan. With so many people, it can be said that Congqin was very powerful.
The water had to pass through Lu'an Prefecture to reach Taiyuan. The prefect of Lu'an almost peed his pants when he heard that so many bandits were coming. He first reported to Taiyuan, asked for reinforcements, and then ordered the Lu'an garrison to set up city defenses. Finally, he packed up his belongings and went to court.
Taiyuan escaped.
The prefect ran away before the rogue bandits came to the door. This is how the soldiers and horses in the city guarded the city. In Lu'an Mansion, there were only 3,000 men and horses guarding the Yamen, and half of them were newly recruited. Knowing that the prefect had run away, it was a disgrace to people's hearts.
Scattered, full of fighting spirit.
On the third day after the prefect of Lu'an escaped, the army of bandits attacked Lu'an Prefecture. When the defenders on the city saw that there were so many people outside the city, they did not dare to resist. Under the leadership of the garrison master, they opened the north gate.
He abandoned the city and fled.
The rogue bandits captured Lu'an Mansion without any bloodshed, and they had to rob Lu'an Mansion. This time, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng didn't care what they said. After all, the leader of the alliance was Wang Ziyong, and Wang Ziyong took the lead in the robbery. How could the rest of the rogue bandit forces not follow?
Robbery, and this is also an opportunity to expand the army. The rogue bandits should hijack the people everywhere. Most of the people in Lu'an Prefecture and surrounding counties and towns were hijacked and joined the army of rogue bandits.
The troops of Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, in line with the original purpose, restrained the troops and horses, did not rob or coerce the people, and even persuaded the king to use it himself, but the king would not listen. Seeing the effectiveness of the persuasion, the two families could only defend themselves.
Duty, no matter what, we cannot take the initiative to destroy the current stability and unity. However, in addition to their two battalions, there is another family who are also Qihao criminals. They keep their own rules and have equally strict military discipline. Who is the leader of this family? His name is Zhang Xianzhong.
The bandits had a hard time in Lu'an Prefecture, and while they were looting, they headed towards Taiyuan. From Lu'an Prefecture to Taiyuan City, it was about two hundred miles. Even if the bandits didn't move fast, they could walk down forty or fifty miles a day, using
You can reach Taiyuan in a few days.
Taiyuan is now in ruins. The troops from Shanxi have been transferred to Shaanxi. The remaining available troops are really small. Liu Ce, the governor of Shanxi, was shocked when he learned that Lu'an Prefecture had been lost. He sent someone to inform the court.
, while sending people to Yanghe to ask Xuanda Governor Wu Sinan to send troops for reinforcements. Of course, it was also necessary to organize troops and horses to prepare to meet the enemy. As for the person who escaped and came to Lu'an Prefecture, Liu Ce took him directly and asked the court to deal with him.
Mr. Yue in Beijing has been very busy these days, and each letter he received was really annoying. The first one was better, it was a document about the Great Victory in Gansu Province sent by Yang Yishan, but
A few days later, the rogue bandit Xiong Tingbi died of illness, Qingyang Mansion fell, and a report was sent that the rogue bandit returned to Shaanxi. After reading this message, Yue Su was shocked and quickly sent someone to Shaanxi to convey an order to Yang Yishan, asking him to
Chase down the bandits quickly.
Not long after, Shanxi sent a message saying that the bandit leader Wang Ziyong was attacking Qinshui. Yue Sugang ordered Wu Sinan, the governor-general of Xuan Dynasty, to send troops to encircle and suppress Qinshui. Two days after the order was sent out, another report of Qinshui's defeat was sent. Immediately afterwards,
Lu'an Prefecture was lost again, and the rogue soldiers were approaching Taiyuan. In addition, there was bad news, that is, the Jurchens attacked the Chahar tribe and completely conquered the Chahar tribe.
Chahar was inclined to the Ming Dynasty, but now it is eaten by the Jurchens. In the area outside the customs, almost all the Jurchens rule.
How could Mr. Yue not be annoyed by so many reports of defeat? He sent people to Yanghe again to urge Wu Sinan to send troops. If Taiyuan fell, he would be the first to kill Wu Sinan. Then, he sent people to Taiyuan to convey the order and tell Liu Ce.
, the city was still there but the people were missing. As for the Lu'an prefect who escaped before the battle, he directly killed Ji Qi. He also sent a message to Yang Yishan, asking him to send troops into Shanxi to cooperate with Wu Sinan to encircle and suppress the rogue bandits. Finally,
He also directly issued an order to Chen Qiyu, the governor of Yansui, telling him to carry out the order as soon as it was received. He did not need to ask Yang Yishan, the governor of the three sides, to send troops directly to Shanxi to suppress the bandits.
One decree after another was issued from the cabinet. When the last decree was issued, Yue Su managed to take a breath, and then it was time to see the final result in Taiyuan.
However, before this message could be heard, another message came from Liaodong. This was a message sent by Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, to negotiate peace with the Jurchens. Yue Su almost died of anger after reading the message, you boy
Didn't you say that the Liao Dynasty was settled in five years? Why did you propose peace today? I think you are trying to trick the court. Yue Su rejected it immediately, and was not polite in his reply. What he wrote was, you didn't mean that the Liao Dynasty was settled in five years.
A small victory in one year, a big victory in two years, a small victory in three years, an early victory in four years, and peace in Liaodong in five years. Was what you said at the beginning a fart? The court is still waiting for your victory.
The approval was sent back to Yuan Chonghuan, but not long after, Liaodong came again. This time, it was not only Yuan Chonghuan who received the certificate, but also all the generals at the general level in Liaodong.
The content in the booklet is almost the same, which means that now that Chahar has been conquered by the Jurchens, the Ming Dynasty has lost a strong foreign aid. It is much more difficult to pacify the Jurchens than before. The Central Plains bandits are powerful, so the court should pay attention first
Putting it on the rogue bandits, the Ping Liao issue can be postponed. I think back then, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty were both able to negotiate peace with the Xiongnu. These are all wise kings through the ages. Why can’t the Ming Dynasty negotiate peace with the Jurchens? Only by negotiating peace with the Jurchens can the imperial court deploy its troops.
All of them are used on the rogue bandits. After the rogue bandits are wiped out, is it too late to study the affairs of Ping Liao?
However, one of the people's Zhezi was different from Yuan Chonghuan and other generals. This was Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of Pidao. The meaning of his Zhejia was very simple. To put it bluntly, it was just one sentence, "Since ancient times, there has been a matter of paying prisoners, and this is the only one."
Slaves must not be paid!"
