Chapter 4 Text
Because Niu Jinxing is telling the truth, at the moment they and the imperial court can already be said to be incompatible, the imperial court has long regarded them as mortal enemies, if it is not good, the emperor and officials in the imperial court, hating them may even exceed the hatred of Jiannu, they will go north at this time, to fight Jiannu, I am afraid that they will not wait for them to meet Jiannu, in the middle of the road, they will first do it with the official army.
Originally, he was going to help the officials and soldiers, but if he didn't get it right, it would be self-defeating, but he would help Jiannu, so after Niu Jinxing said it, everyone felt that what they said was indeed reasonable, even if they were angry that Jiannu was in the court, but at most they could watch from the wall, and let the court go to the next and Jiannu.
Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "What Mr. Niu said is good!" Reasonable! It does make sense! We really can't send a large army to the north, in that case, not only will we not be able to help, but we may also be able to help Jiannu!
But that doesn't mean we can't really send any soldiers! In this matter, I look at it this way, the big guy has a good discussion today! ……”
The whole discussion lasted for a day or two, and finally the big guy was tired, so he was beckoned by Xiao Tianjian to sit on the ground, a group of people sat on the ground and then discussed, and when they were hungry, they asked people to send in some mixed flour cakes and mutton soup, and the big guy said while eating with mixed flour cakes and mutton soup.
Luo Rucai's self-discipline for Xiao Tianjian can now be said to have developed from disapproval at the beginning, to admiration, Xiao Tianjian's current business, not to mention eating and drinking spicy food, he can have whatever he wants, but until now, Xiao Tianjian has also married a wife and a concubine, and his life is also extremely simple, he eats whatever the big guy eats, rarely opens a small stove, and every time he goes to the barracks, he runs to eat food in a pot with the soldiers, and wears cloth clothes, The cloak is also a cloak that has long been worn out, only the armor is a little better, and he found that it is Xiao Tianjian's style, but he is deeply loved by the officers and soldiers of the Xingtian Army, you must know that he is also from the background of leading soldiers, the strictness of the military discipline of the Xingtian Army is unheard of before, and when he was a soldier in the Xingtian Army, if he was placed in front of them, it was hard to the extreme, it was simply self-abuse, but because Xiao Tianjian led by example, he formed a very good style in the army, and the officials will naturally be strict with self-discipline, In this way, although it is hard to be a soldier, but the heart is balanced, the work is serious, and when he goes into battle, he is even more courageous to move forward, which is probably one of the sources of the strength of the Xingtian Army!
So that the current Luo Rucai, after adapting to it for more than half a year, has also become self-disciplined, as close as possible with other generals, not to do anything special, even his lustful habits, has been forcibly curbed, his former wives and concubines, he was driven to Luoyang City, arranged a house to settle down, only when he came back, he went back to his house to be promiscuous.
Now seeing Xiao Tianjian sitting on the ground, following everyone to chew this coarse and unpalatable miscellaneous bread, Luo Rucai really admired him more and more, and thought to himself, if this person does not achieve great things, then it is really unreasonable, let's follow! Now it seems that taking refuge in Xiao Tianjian may have been a wise decision by him.
At the end of October, the surrounding government of Henan suddenly felt that their local atmosphere was much more relaxed than some time before, and during this time, Henan's Xingtian Army was pressing and expanding step by step under the jurisdiction of the surrounding government government, but at this time, the collective suddenly chose to stop the expansion action, and stopped the soldiers and horses, and no longer launched offensive operations against the prefectures and counties controlled by the surrounding government governments.
At the beginning, the local government was even more nervous about this, unable to figure out what was happening, and speculated that it was likely that this was the performance of the Xingtian Army before launching a larger attack, which frightened them all and desperately rushed to the top of the peak, asking for more troops to help them defend.
However, within a few days, these officials received a letter from the Xingtian Army, which clearly stated to them the attitude of the Xingtian Army, that is, during this time, the Xingtian Army will no longer launch any new offensive against the surrounding officials, and there is only one purpose, that is, because of the Jiannu Tartars, the Xingtian Army is willing to stop military operations, so that the imperial court and local officials can concentrate all their energy to resist the Jiannu who entered the Kou, and at the same time ask these officials and officials of the imperial court to stop launching military operations against the Xingtian Army, The two sides stopped fighting and jointly resisted foreign insults.
In addition to the local governments in various places receiving the letter from the Xingtianjun, in many places in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, Nanzhili, Shandong, and Beizhili, the list posted by the Xingtianjun also began to appear, and the Xingtianjun's "Suspension of the Civil War and the Insult to the Outside World" was posted everywhere, and even leaflets of this document appeared in various places, in short, the Xingtianjun took the initiative to stop military operations and support the current Ming court to resist the establishment of slaves in a very short period of time. It was propagandized by the Xingtian Army in several provinces.
These leaflets and notices were both hand-copied and specially typeset and printed, and according to different circumstances, they were distributed by the intelligence system of the Xingtian Army, and immediately caused an uproar in all parts of the Ming Dynasty.
There are still practical actions for this statement of the Xingtian Army, and the reactions of the officials and people in various places are also different, and the officials in charge breathed a long sigh of relief, and said in their hearts, God has eyes, this Xingtian Army chose to suspend the army at this time, which is really good, otherwise, they will really face the choice of life and death immediately, and now they can relax a little.
And the common people praised this a lot, feeling that although this Xiao Xingtian is a thief, but he is a person who understands the righteousness, on the occasion of this Jiannu into the Kou, he would rather put a good time not to use it, stop using troops against the government, so that the government can have a chance to breathe, and concentrate on dealing with the Jiannu outside the Guan, he is really a person with an extraordinary mind, even some literati who are very hostile to the Xingtian Army, when they learned the news, they had to express their support for Xiao Tianjian's decision, Immediately, this news was spread by countless people, and it quickly spread all over the country.
When the Xingtian Army released the news, Xiao Tianjian even sent a letter to the officials and officials of the prefecture capitals and counties of Hebei and Shanxi, indicating an attitude that if they were unable to prevent Jiannu from entering the Kou, the Xingtianjun was willing to go north and resist Jiannu together with the official army.
This letter was also quickly made public in the form of posting notices and distributing leaflets everywhere, and it also caused an uproar in Shanxi, Hebei, and the common people welcomed this move with both hands, because they all knew that most of the officials and troops of the imperial court were unusable, and they could not play any responsibility to defend the land at all, and they still had a little conscience to defend the city, and they had no hope at all to go out of the city and enter the Jiannu field war, and the Xingtian Army expressed its willingness to send troops to help the war and help the officials and soldiers defend the land to protect the people from the scourge of Jiannu, Of course, the common people welcomed it.
However, it was not good news for the government, and they immediately collected the notices and leaflets distributed by the Xingtian Army everywhere, and sent people to Pegasus to send the news to the Jingshi, and reported it to the current saint Zhu Youzhen and the officials of the court.
The imperial court also received the news that the capital was sent to Beijing from all over the country a few days later, and after hearing the news, whether it was Chongzhen or Yang Sichang, they were all slightly relieved in their hearts, but then Chongzhen became furious, and threw these pieces about the Xingtian Army's release of the Gongyu Foreign Insult Essay under the Dragon Case.
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous to the extreme! This is gibberish! I am today, he Xiao Tianjian is just a thief! But he kept sending articles to invite the world to resist foreign insults, where did this put me? Could it be that this world wants them thieves to defend it? Chongzhen was furious in the main hall, and many objects on the dragon case were thrown to the ground by him and smashed to pieces.
The attendants in the palace were all silent, holding their breath and not daring to make a sound, even Yang Sichang, who was recruited into the palace, was so frightened that he knelt under the dragon case, and he didn't dare to take a breath.
Chongzhen lost his temper in the hall for a while, and then calmed down a little, looking at the mess all over the ground, Chongzhen suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, and sat down on the dragon chair.
This time Xiao Tianjian issued a letter to the world to defend against foreign insults, which hit him very hard, originally Chongzhen didn't want to fight to the death with the Jiannu who entered the Kou, in his opinion, although the Jiannu is fierce, but after all, entering the customs is just to grab some money, food and materials, and capture some people to go back to be slaves, for the Ming Dynasty is just a disease of ringworm, after grabbing enough, they still have to go out of the customs and go back to the customs after all.
However, people like Xiao Tianjian and Li Zicheng inside are the henchmen of his Ming Dynasty, and if they don't get it, they will take him off the dragon chair and replace him, so in his heart, this Jiannu doesn't want to fight, but it is necessary to solve the thieves like Xiao Tianjian and Li Zicheng, so this time under his hint, Gao Qiqian, a slave, and Yang Sichang and others are all harmonious with the master of Jiannu, and want to secretly reach a secret agreement with Jiannu, cede Liaodong to Jiannu, recognize the status of Jiannu, and give Huang Taiji 600,000 taels of silver every year. Selling a Jiannu will no longer break through the barrier, so that he can draw out the elite soldiers in the north and go all out to deal with these thieves who are "wreaking" in the Central Plains.
