Wang Daliang was deeply impressed by Qimenpo. Under normal circumstances, this place was definitely a good place to use troops.
The sky was bright and the morning breeze was blowing, bringing with it a hint of coolness. The team continued to move forward, getting closer and closer to Qimen Slope. For some reason, Wang Daliang's heart beat faster and faster, as if something was wrong.
Things are going to happen.
He reined in his horse and looked at Qimenpo, which was very close at hand. It seemed that not much had changed. The mountains and forests were a little more green, but they still couldn't hide the desolation of Guanzhong.
Someone's war horse had a problem, and it made a series of harsh neighing sounds. Wang Daliang frowned, and suddenly he knew where the problem was.
The mountains and forests are already green, but it is May again. How come there are no birds in the forest? There is a drought and food shortage in Guanzhong, and the wild beasts in the forest have been devoured, but it is impossible for the birds to eat them all. Especially those crows, because
They gnawed on the corpses and each one grew fatter.
There is a problem with Qimenpo!
As if to verify Wang Daliang's judgment, when the team was less than half a mile away from Qimen Slope, they finally saw the situation in front of them clearly.
A troop of thousands of cavalrymen lay in front of Qimenpo. They were closely guarded and waiting patiently. The only way through Qimenpo was blocked. The cavalry was a different kind of cavalry.
Chains of iron ropes, men and horses wearing armor.
A man in black armor rode his horse to the front and shouted loudly: "Wang Daliang, this general has been waiting here for a long time. You have no way to escape. In order to avoid causing more casualties, you should surrender."
Wang Daliang took a long breath, holding back the shock and anger in his heart, and cupped his hands far away, "General, is this the Tiemotie garrison in northern Shanxi?"
"It's this general!"
After getting the accurate answer, the last bit of hope in Wang Daliang's heart was gone. The living king of northern Shanxi, every rebel army knew about this person. Wu Yangui, Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong and others were defeated repeatedly at the hands of this person. If only
Ordinary people cannot deserve the title of King of Hell.
At this time, Wang Daliang also solved the last doubt in his heart. Last night, during the chaos in Shangzhou, the opponent had clearly captured the North City Gate, but the main reinforcements took a long time to arrive. At that time, he thought that the opponent was delayed by something.
Now that I think about it, it's not the case at all. The other party must have been waiting for the cavalry to arrive at Qimenpo to ambush, and then they completely captured Shangzhou and completed the real encirclement.
The opponent's cavalry was composed entirely of cavalry, and they were waiting for work. On the other hand, our side had just been defeated, their morale was low, they had traveled a long distance, and they were physically and mentally exhausted. The outcome of this battle was already determined before it even started.
This time, the hope was slim, but there was no trace of panic on Wang Daliang's face, only a sneer, "General Tie, you are really good at calculating. You calculated the right time and waited for Wang to come to your door at Qimenpo. But it's a pity.
Well, Wang will dare to do anything in his life, but he won't dare to be a coward for surrendering officers and soldiers."
"The dozen or so members of Wang's family lost their property all because of the county official's violation of the law, and eventually starved to death. I'd rather surrender to the government..."
Tie Mo smiled bitterly and shook his head. The war horse retreated slightly and quickly raised his right hand. "In this case, let's leave it to fate!"
The moment the hand fell, the armored cavalry that had been ready to go surged towards the peasant army on the opposite side like a torrent. Most people were not unfamiliar with this cavalry. Not long ago, the brothers in Luonan City were killed by this cavalry.
The cavalry killed almost the entire army.
I had heard about it, but after I truly saw the terrifying nature of this cavalry, I realized that all the fear was so natural.
The sound of horse hooves shook the world, and swarms of horses passed by. Broken limbs and countless pieces of meat were hung on the iron ropes. There was bright red blood on the ground, and there were many people wailing constantly.
In such a hellish scene, people who are so irritated will either go crazy, go mad, or directly hold their heads and beg for mercy.
This battle seemed tragic, but in fact the outcome was already doomed. When the troops of Li Wanqing and Liu Guoneng pressed forward from the direction of Shangzhou, the defeat of this peasant army accelerated rapidly.
Wang Daliang was fighting with a knife, and even though he knew he would die, he did not step back at all. At the foot of Qimen Slope, Wang Zuogao's eyes stayed on Wang Daliang, and gradually a hint of admiration arose in his heart.
"Wang Daliang can be regarded as a righteous man. At least in Wang's eyes, this person knows how to sympathize with his subordinates and the people better than Wang Jiayin, Wu Yangui and others!"
Tie Mo nodded and said with some pity: "Yes, he is a good man, but the path he chose cannot save the people of Li, and will only bring more suffering to them."
Time passed by, and the foot of Qimen Slope was covered with the smell of blood. The moment Wang Daliang fell, the battle was almost over. Xu Li and others chose to surrender, and the rest either knelt down and begged for mercy, or scattered.
Escape.
Tie Mo joined forces with Liu Yingyu and Wu Guofu to encircle Wang Daliang's main force at Qimenpo. In the first battle, Wang Daliang was defeated and died. The remaining peasant army entrenched in Shanyang City, after receiving the news, first
Time gave up on Shanyang and all fled south to the hinterland of Hanzhong. At this point, they poured into Shaanxi and Wang Daliang's army, which had brought trouble to Shangluo Road for nearly half a year, was declared to be disbanded.
On May 15th of the second year of Chongzhen, Tie Mo and others defeated Wang Daliang in a row and recaptured Shangluo Road. The good news was delivered to the Forbidden City. Faced with this good news, Emperor Chongzhen had a headache.
...
Shortly after the victory at Qimenpo, a huge convoy came to Yan'an Prefecture. They brought a large amount of food and set up many porridge sheds in Yan'an, Ansai, and Ganquan to help the victims. This convoy was led by Shanxi merchants
A spontaneous organization under the banner of providing disaster relief for His Majesty.
Porridge shacks were set up everywhere, and near each shack there was a sharp-tongued man who kept shouting.
Although the shouting words were varied, the general idea was the same. It meant that His Majesty spent all his money to buy this batch of grain. The hungry people who had porridge to drink should thank the Emperor for his great kindness and thank God for giving everyone a good emperor.
The incident of giving porridge in Yan'an Prefecture has caused quite a stir, so it is certainly not a secret.
Shanxi merchants did not need to worry about this kind of thing. Someone brought the matter to the Forbidden City. Yang He, the governor of the three sides, wrote a letter praising Chongzhen so much that he almost said that Chongzhen was the rebirth of Yao and Shun.
Zhu Youjian, who was sitting in the palace, was very confused. Did he not know whether he had bought food for disaster relief?
In order to support Liaodong and last year's disaster relief, the internal funds were almost empty. Zhu Youjian was still worried about where to get money and where to buy food for disaster relief?
Zhu Youjian, who was puzzled, quickly sent someone to investigate, and soon found out what was going on.
After knowing that Tie Mo mobilized Shanxi merchants to do this, Zhu Youjian felt a little ashamed. Tie Mo took the initiative to call on Shanxi merchants to provide disaster relief, and in the end the good reputation fell on him, Chongzhen. As a result, he also treated Tie Mo
Feeling dissatisfied.
Because of the disaster relief incident, Chongzhen's impression of Tie Mo changed greatly. It seemed that if such a loyal minister was not rewarded, wouldn't it be a chill in his heart?
Soon, an official document was delivered to Shaanxi.
In the imperial edict, Chongzhen gave special encouragement to Tie Mo. In addition, he also named Tie Mo the deputy commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, the garrison of the Yunfu, and the title of chief of the Ministry of War.
Of course, except Tie Mo, everyone else who participated in the Qimenpo battle was rewarded. But Liu Yingyu and others were nothing compared to Tie Mo.
Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Xuan Mansion may sound impressive, but his authority is still that of the Yun Mansion Guard. In fact, his actual power has not increased much. However, the official title of Chief of the Ministry of War is completely different.
Who is Tie Mo? He was a big-headed soldier, and he didn’t even know what his fame was.
It is extremely rare for such a country bumpkin to become the head of the Ministry of War.
Liu Yingyu and others were envious, but Tie Mo was not too excited. In order to take pictures of Chongzhen's horses, he spent a lot of money and food.
Fortunately, the horse was in the right place.
