Chapter 15 Forcible Exit
Chongzhen couldn't figure out why he believed in Yang Sichang so much before, let such a bastard stay by his side, and trusted him so much that he became the first assistant, but this guy was so virtuous.
As a result, Yang Sichang had just gone back to arrange the things ordered by Chongzhen that day, and when he arrived home at night, he didn't get his rice bowl up, so a group of brocade guards rushed into his mansion with a holy decree, took Yang Sichang down on the spot, and locked him back in the prison of the Criminal Department.
Chongzhen issued a decree to remove Yang Sichang from his position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the scholar of Dongge University, and handed him over to the Criminal Department for conviction.
Yang Sichang's career will come to an end at this time, which is something that no one would have imagined a few months ago.
Therefore, public opinion among the people, in many cases, can actually influence many things, for this, Yu Xiaotian knows better than anyone else, so over the years, he has not hesitated to invest a lot of money to establish his intelligence network in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, a nail has been buried in various places.
At this time, these detailed works arranged before finally played an extremely important role, they not only successfully collected a large amount of information, but also became Yu Xiaotian's mouthpiece at a critical time, and when Yu Xiaotian needed it, he spread rumors or created public opinion in various places on behalf of Yu Xiaotian.
In the past, many secret things of the Ming court, now Yu Xiaotian uses these fine works scattered all over the place to act as his mouthpiece and spread them widely, and rumors are such things that spread so fast that it is unimaginable, good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, this sentence is really too reasonable.
When he went north this time, he had already activated this public opinion machine, constantly communicating these rumors scattered all over the place, and spreading the things he wanted the people of the Ming Dynasty to know one by one, and finally revealed Yang Sichang's hypocrisy, so that Yang Sichang was completely ruined in just a few months, and ended up being dismissed and arrested.
At the same time that Yang Sichang was overturned by Yu Xiaotian's public opinion machine and fell from the horse in the Beijing Division, the Yu Jiajun of Tianjin Wei finally ushered in their biggest test.
More than 100,000 Jiannu troops, carrying hundreds of thousands of people, rolled towards Tianjin Wei, because they were wrapped in a large number of captured people, so the marching speed was not very fast, and under the cold and freezing, the people could not go fast at all, even if they kept waving horsewhips and beating those people, they could not make their marching speed increase too much.
Therefore, they set out from Jinan and embarked on the road back to Guanwai, and they walked for more than a month, traveling less than 30 miles a day, and even so, a large number of captive people died on the way back.
Seeing that after entering the Hejian Mansion, the slave chieftain Dolgon and Yue Tuo and others, during the return journey, continued to discharge rangers, that is, scouts and small groups of cavalry, to go out dozens or even hundreds of miles away to reconnoitre.
When they arrived at Hejian Mansion, the rangers who came out of the front discovered a news that shocked them very much, the officers and troops of the Ming Dynasty, with as many as 30,000 or 40,000 troops, suddenly took the sea route, landed at the mouth of Dagu, and quickly entered the area of Tianjin Wei, controlling the area around Tianjin Wei for dozens of miles, and also controlling the way they returned north on both sides of the canal, and was firmly stuck on their way back north.
At the same time, the rangers also discovered that after the Ming official army landed at Dagukou and entered Tianjinwei, the activities of the officers and soldiers in the area of the Ming Jingshi suddenly became frequent, and a large number of officers and troops began to be transferred from the periphery of the Beijing division to the east of the Beijing division, and were stationed in Tongzhou, Xianghe, Baoding, Wuqing, Dong'an and other places.
Dorgon, Dudu, and other slave chieftains were taken aback when they heard this, and immediately sent people to investigate again, and soon the rangers captured some of the officers and prisoners, and learned more information.
This Ming official army, which suddenly landed in Tianjinwei and controlled Tianjinwei and both sides of the canal, was actually not the army of King Qin, but the army of the Ming Fujian general, who led the troops north to enter the area around Gyeonggi without authorization.
This Yu Xiaotian is rumored to have a heart of disobedience to the north this time, and it seems that he intends to take advantage of their entry into the customs to plunder, and give the Ming Dynasty a direct attack on Huanglong, wanting to rebel.
Dolgon and the others were a little confused when they heard it, Fujian is an unreachable place in the eyes of these Jiannu, and it can't be farther, at least nearly 10,000 miles away from the Beijing Division, even if the general soldier surnamed Yu has the intention to rebel, how can it be impossible to take a boat from Fujian and directly kill the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty to rebel!
But the prisoners of the Ming officers and soldiers who were captured in this incident said that they had noses and eyes, and they looked determined, which made people have to believe that this was true.
This Ming Fujian chief military officer Yu Xiaotian, this time did indeed raise troops without an edict, took the sea route all the way to Tianjin Wei, and landed in Tianjin Wei, this should not be wrong.
How can they not understand the system of the Ming Dynasty when they are adults? Therefore, they know very well that such a military general, without an edict, raising troops to launch an expedition without authorization is a serious crime of destroying the door, and ordinary people will never dare to do this.
Those who do this are either stupid and loyal to the extreme, and have completely put their life and death out of the way, and can be said to be completely crazy, so they can do such a shocking thing.
Either this person really has a heart of disobedience, wants to fish in troubled waters, and takes the opportunity to rebel.
The former article definitely doesn't make sense, because it is rumored that this Yu Xiaotian is not from a family of orthodox Ming generals, but in his early years, he was an active Haikou in the coastal area of Fujian in the south of the Ming Dynasty.
If this kind of person says that he is stupid and loyal to the point of dying, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he brazenly raised troops, went thousands of miles to help King Jingqin, and did it without an edict, the ghost will not believe it.
And it can be determined that this Yu Xiaotian should definitely not be crazy, so they hurriedly recruited the two magistrates who were caught on the way and knew more about the court bureau to ask about this Yu Xiaotian.
As a result, they got a clearer news, that is, this Yu Xiaotian, in recent years, has been in Fujian in a big way, self-respect, expanding the strength of the territory, and flying to the extreme, as if he has become the king of Fujian, no one can control this person, has long been feared by the imperial court, if the imperial court is not this Jiannu entry into the customs, it is estimated that it will soon mobilize heavy troops to the south to launch a conquest against this surnamed Yu.
This Yu Xiaotian is a scheming person, he can't be called a loyal minister at all, he is completely a local warlord, so this time he suddenly brazenly raised troops to the north, and it will definitely not be King Qin, and he does have the intention of rebellion.
But let's say that he is rebelling, this thing doesn't seem to make sense, this guy is rebelling, how can he let his old nest Fujian not do it, but he has to travel thousands of miles with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and directly kill the Ming Jingshi to rebel? This is completely counterintuitive!
So Dolgon's gang of Jiannu chieftains were confused by this Yu Xiaotian's move, and they couldn't figure out what Yu Xiaotian was thinking for a while.
But one thing is certain, after Yu Xiaotian led his troops to land in Tianjinwei this time, Daming suddenly mobilized the officers and troops around the Beijing Division and assembled towards the east of the Beijing Division.
Then this is much easier to say, no matter what kind of nerves this Yu Xiaotian has, suddenly landing in Tianjin Wei with a large army, it will not be untargeted, there must be a plan, and it is reasonable that the Ming court is afraid of him.
But at the moment there is a big problem that Dolgon and others need to face, that is, Yu Xiaotian suddenly led the troops to appear, and captured Tianjin Wei, just stuck in the way they must return north this time, according to their original plan, this time the north return out of the pass, they are along the canal all the way north, must pass through Tianjin Wei, in order to enter Jizhou Mansion, and finally choose a place to rush out of the pass.
However, Yu Xiaotian's appearance broke their original plan, and they were stuck in their way out of the customs.
And the problem is that not only Yu Xiaotian is stuck in Tianjin Wei, which is the road they must pass, but also caused the Ming Dynasty to transfer a large number of officers and troops to the east of the Beijing Division, even if they bypass Tianjin Wei, they will encounter a large number of Ming officers and soldiers.
Now that they have reached Hejian Province, even if it is too late to make a detour now, and they are different from the situation when they came, they have returned north this time with a lot of goods, and in addition to a large number of captured raw animals and livestock, such a large number of hundreds of thousands of people, it is simply unrealistic to change the route and bypass the northern return of Jingshi from the west of Jingshi.
In this way, the road they will return north will increase by more than a thousand miles, and it will be an impossible task to go around this far with hundreds of thousands of prisoners.
Thinking of this, Dolgon made up his mind and made up his mind that the plan would not change, and rushed directly to Tianjin Wei, broke into Jizhou Mansion according to the original plan, and then exited the customs.
They have thought about this group of Jiannu Tartars, they have fought countless battles with the Ming army for so many years, what is the level of the Ming army, they know better than anyone else, although they have also heard rumors that this Yu family army is said to be quite powerful, when Chongzhen was five years old, he was ordered to go north and quell the rebellion of Kong Youde Li Jiucheng in the Denglai area.
In addition, in the south, this Yu family army has no one to deal with, and it rarely encounters defeats.
But so what? In the eyes of Dolgon and others, this Yujia army is still the army of the Ming Dynasty, when did they Jiannu ever be afraid of the army of the Ming Dynasty? What's more, now their main force is all there, with a total strength of nearly 100,000 troops, and this Yu family army is only more than 30,000 people, they are afraid of it!
This is very incomprehensible to Yu Jiajun's approach this time, since they wanted to rebel, but they stopped at Tianjin Wei and pulled out a posture to block their Qing army.
If the Qing army led by Dolgon and others wanted to get out of the pass, they had to rush through the Tianjin Wei, and there would definitely be a battle between them, unless the Yu army deliberately made way for them to pass through Guò, otherwise, this battle could not be avoided.
