Yu Xiaotian has been operating in Fujian for more than ten years, the power has long been deep-rooted, the imperial army entered Fujian to discuss it, he is regarded as waiting for work, fighting at home, and entering the Fujian official army is regarded as a different and away battle, Fujian has a large number of mountains, hills and rivers, the terrain is very complex, and it is not suitable for large-scale use of troops, it is quite difficult to uproot Yu Xiaotian from Fujian,

And the soldiers and horses under the command of Yu Xiaotian are not ordinary rogues, the soldiers and horses under his command are nominally considered genuine officers and soldiers, with perfect organization, it is said that the Yu family army is also quite fierce, no matter who to do for so many years, has never suffered a major defeat, according to legend, the Yu family army is equipped with a large number of firearms, good use of firearms to defeat the enemy, Hong Chengchou is quite worried.

At this time, Hong Chengchou also regarded Yu Xiaotian as the biggest hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty, and thought that Yu Xiaotian must have a heart of disobedience, and it should indeed be eliminated as soon as possible.

Therefore, when he heard that Yu Xiaotian brazenly went north to invade Tianjin Wei, his first reaction was that this fang wanted to rebel and take advantage of the chaos to attack the Beijing division and plot to rebel and usurp the country.

But when he heard that Yu Xiaotian was stationed in Tianjinwei and no longer approached the Jingshi, but stopped the retreat to the Jiannu army outside the Guan, and announced that he would fight to the death, Hong Chengchou was really a little confused.

Since Yu Xiaotian is a rebel and thief, then he has no reason to do this! If he fights to the death with Jiannu, even if his soldiers and horses are powerful, he can really defeat the Jiannu army, and when the time comes, he will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800, and he will completely lose his combat power.

And he doesn't have much troops, 100,000 Jiannu troops, and he only has 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, there is no reason to defeat such an arrogant Jiannu army, and the possibility of victory can be said to be very small.

and Yu Xiaotian went north this time to cry out for Lu Xiangsheng, who died unjustly in Julu, and criticized Yang Sichang, Gao Qiqian, Chen Xinjia, Liu Yuliang and others as the culprits of Lu Xiangsheng's unjust death.

In this regard, Hong Chengchou has a strong impression of Xiaotian, because Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng used to be a cooperative relationship, and the personal relationship between the two is quite good.

A few years ago, the imperial court ordered Lu Xiang to be promoted as the governor of the five provinces, and he cooperated with him to clean up the exile army, Lu Xiang was promoted to a civilian official, but he was a genius, good at controlling troops, the emperor was extremely strict, had a strong personality charm, was very good at fighting and brave, and won the admiration of Hong Chengchou.

Later, Lu Xiangsheng was transferred to Xuanda as the governor of Xuanda, although he no longer cooperated with Hong Chengchou, but the two still had private messages to discuss some methods on how to clear the exiled army, Lu Xiangsheng proposed a lot of good methods, Hong Chengchou felt that he benefited a lot.

This time he heard that Lu Xiangsheng died in the battle of the giant deer, Hong Chengchou was also very sad after hearing it, and at the same time he was also very angry, because he had also heard some of it, the court wanted to negotiate peace, Yang Sichang got a glimpse of the holy will, and advocated peace with one force, secretly limiting Lu Xiangsheng's power.

He knows Lu Xiangsheng's character very well, Lu Xiangsheng was robbed of love this time, served as the governor of soldiers and horses, and will definitely fight the main battle, so he and Yang Sichang are incompatible in this matter, Yang Sichang, as the first auxiliary minister of the government and the opposition, will definitely make a stumbling block for Lu Xiangsheng, but I didn't expect that Yang Sichang and they were so ruthless this time that they would actually force Lu Xiangsheng to death.

Hong Chengchou was very angry about this, but he was helpless, and now he heard Yu Xiaotian crying out for Lu Xiangsheng, angrily denouncing Yang Sichang and others for being shameless, which made Hong Chengchou feel quite relieved, thinking that although Yu Xiaotian, Qiu Ba, behaved perversely, he was still quite bloody, dared to speak up, and dared to directly scold Yang Sichang and other court bigwigs.

So after Hong Chengchou crossed the Yellow River, he stopped temporarily when he arrived at Weihui Mansion, one is to wait and see the direction of the wind, to see what will happen to Yu Xiaotian next, and to wait for the follow-up soldiers and horses led by Sun Chuanting.

But waiting, just waiting for something to happen, the next series of news, Hong Chengchou was confused, first Yu Xiaotian led the army to defeat the Jiannu 100,000 army, and beheaded the Jiannu chief Dolgon, and then the court sent troops to try to take the opportunity to destroy Yu Xiaotian, but Yu Xiaotian beat him up, and even Wu Xiang was beheaded by Yu Xiaotian's men on the spot.

Immediately Yu Xiaotian Nu'er announced that he wanted to enter the side of the Qing Jun in Beijing, and led the troops to attack the Beijing Division, this time Hong Chengchou was frightened a lot, he couldn't have imagined that the soldiers and horses under Yu Xiaotian's command were so fierce, and the Jiannu army was not their opponent, after killing the Jiannu army, he still had the strength to solve the two elite soldiers of the imperial court, and then there was still the strength to attack the Beijing Division.

This time, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly urged Sun Chuanting to lead the follow-up Shaanxi soldiers to catch up, and then gathered his troops to rush to King Qin, the capital division.

But as soon as he walked to Shunde Mansion and had not yet entered Zhending Mansion, he learned that Yu Xiaotian actually led his troops to conquer the Jingshi and controlled the Jingshi, and Hong Chengchou almost fainted.

He didn't think about why Xiaotian's department could be so good at fighting, and he fought so many beautiful battles one after another, he knew the defense of the Beijing Division, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the city wall of the Beijing Division was solid and the defense facilities were complete, and there were many officers and soldiers stationed in the area, plus the officers and troops gathered in the Gyeonggi area, the strength of the troops was not 100,000 but also 80,000, Yu Xiaotian's troops were insufficient, it stands to reason that even if his men were 10,000 enemies, he might not be able to capture the Beijing Division so easily, but he still did it.

Now that the Beijing division has been broken, it doesn't make much sense for Hong Chengchou to continue to lead the troops to the Beijing division, if Yu Xiaotian is deliberately plotting rebellion this time, then now the emperor is either killed by him or arrested by him, and then the Ming Dynasty has no emperor anymore, and has become a plate of loose sand, as the governor of the three sides, at this time it is time to think about what to do next.

So Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting stopped in Shunde Mansion and began to discuss what to do next, whether to continue to go north to fight for thieves, or to retreat to Shaanxi to hold on, if Yu Xiaotian announced his ascension to the throne and became emperor, should they surrender to Yu Xiaotian, or should they set up a new lord and restore the Ming Dynasty?

As a result, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting's department were dragged in the area of Shunde Mansion and did not move for a long time.

Later, Hong Chengchou heard the latest news from the Beijing Division, Yu Xiaotian entered Beijing this time, did not attack the palace, killed the Shengshang, but only controlled the Jingshi and arrested a group of court officials in the capital.

But everyone knows that even if Yu Xiaotian does not have the idea of usurping the country and standing on his own this time, I am afraid that he has the intention of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and if he succeeds in the future, Yu Xiaotian will definitely be in power.

Hong Chengchou didn't agree to this, as a civil official, how could he be driven by a military general like Yu Xiaotian, even if Yang Sichang, Chen Xinjia, Liu Yuliang and others should die, they shouldn't be dealt with by Yu Xiaotian, this is a standard big rebellion, let such a martial artist control the country, how should they deal with themselves?

So after Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting discussed, they thought that since Yu Xiaotian did not intend to usurp the country and stand on his own, then the emperor should be in no danger, but he was placed under house arrest by Yu thieves in the palace, if they want to change this status quo, then they must continue to march into the army, rush to Beijing to defeat the rebels of the thieves, rescue the saint again, and return power to the saint, then the Ming Dynasty is still the previous Ming Dynasty.

After agreeing on this matter, Hong Chengchou immediately led his troops north again, rushed to Beijing, and ordered that the 10,000 Shanxi officers and soldiers who had entered the land of Jinggi from Shanxi and temporarily stationed in Baoding Prefecture were also under his command, and asked Baoding Mansion and Zhending Prefecture and other prefectures to provide food and straw support for the army, and he wanted to enter Beijing to quell the chaos.

As a result, Hong Chengchou gathered more than 50,000 officers and troops, and with the Hong soldiers under his command as the main force, they rushed towards the Beijing Division.

After Yu Xiaotian persuaded Chongzhen to hand over the power of the seal ribbon to no avail, he was very angry, and learned that Hong Chengchou had arrived in Baoding Mansion and would enter the territory of Shuntian Mansion in the near future.

If you want to completely cut off Chongzhen's illusions, then the only way to knock out Hong Chengchou, the last new force in the north of the Ming Dynasty except for the Guanning army, so that Chongzhen no longer has any power to count on, and then Chongzhen may be obedient, hand over the power according to his will, and be a hypocrisy.

So he immediately ordered Yu Zhenshan on the Tianjin Wei side to hand over the defense of the Tianjin Wei area to his subordinates, and Yu Zhenshan led five new battalions and a new artillery battalion to rush to the Beijing Division.

The main force of the Yu Jiajun in the original Beijing division was drawn out of the second, fourth, seventh, and third brigades, plus an independent artillery battalion, and handed over to Meng Fei to command, and ordered Meng Fei to lead the troops out of the division and rush to Liangxiang and Fangshan to set up defenses.

This time Yu Xiaotian was angry, and the consequences of his anger were very strict, and they could only be borne by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting.

At the end of April, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting finally led 50,000 officers and troops into the territory of Shuntianfu, and then the forwards of the two sides began to engage in contact battles.

Over the years, Hong Chengchou's Hong soldiers have followed Hong Chengchou to fight in the south and the north, and there are really some guys who can fight, and these guys are all old fritters, very experienced in combat, in addition to being brave, but also quite cunning.

Although they are only forwards, these generals under the command of Hong Chengchou are still quite fierce, and after encountering the small group of Yu Jiajun scouts, the two sides immediately fought.

I won't describe the process in detail, on the open terrain, with the firepower of the Yu family's army, even if Hong Chengchou's Hong soldiers can fight, no matter how powerful, they are still completely old-style troops, and in the face of the Yu family's army, which is fully advanced in firearms, they can't adapt to this new tactic at all.

Therefore, the vanguard's contact battle Hong Chengchou's strikers suffered a big deflate, and fled back to Hong Chengchou's main force with heavy casualties, Hong Chengchou had learned at this time that there were rebels in front of them blocking their way into Beijing, so he also led the troops to temporarily settle down in the Fangshan area.
