Chapter 91: Zu Dashou's reaction

At this time, Chongzhen was under house arrest in the palace, and he couldn't issue a decree at all, let alone remove any officials, although Hong Chengchou was defeated by Yu Xiaotian at the moment, and the tens of thousands of Shaanxi soldiers brought into Beijing from Shaanxi were already ice disintegration at this time, but no one can say that Hong Chengchou is no longer the governor of the trilateral side, as long as he does not die, as long as he returns to Shaanxi, then he is still the governor of the trilateral.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian also ordered Meng Fei to find Hong Chengchou's lost Guan defense seal on the battlefield that day, return Hong Chengchou, and set up a banquet for Hong Chengchou to see him off in the mansion.

After Hong Chengchou drank the send-off wine, he took the troops of the three battalions allocated to him by Yu Xiaotian in a very low-key manner, left the Beijing Division, and began to embark on the road back to Shaanxi.

Hong Chengchou knew very well that these three battalions of the Yu family army were used by Yu Xiaotian to monitor him, especially the thirty guards, who would become his personal soldiers in the future and would not leave his left and right in the future, but since he fought with the Yu family army once in Fangshan and Liangxiang, he knew that from then on, it would be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to find any army that could compete with the Yu family army, and the Yu family army, whether it was the firearms used or the tactics, was completely beyond the scope of his cognition.

He has the right to command this army that Yu Xiaotian handed over to him, but it is definitely impossible to take it for his own use, and after seeing these firearms used by Yu Jiajun, he found that if he has different ambitions, even if he can disarm the more than 3,000 Yu Jiajun and collect their weapons, then as long as Yu Xiaotian stops supplying him ammunition, then all these things will become a pile of scrap metal, and they will not be able to continue to play their role at all.

Therefore, as long as he wants to continue to do something, then he must rely on these more than 3,000 Yu family troops to use as his backbone troops, otherwise, even if he is asked to re-establish a former army and horses, it is estimated that he will no longer be able to be an enemy of Yu Xiaotian.

After he stepped out of the capital and embarked on the road back to Shaanxi, he turned his head to look at the Jingshi who was gradually moving away, and sighed heavily, he hoped that his choice was not wrong, and hoped that Yu Xiaotian did not lie to him, if Yu Xiaotian really did the things he promised, then even if he was infamous in the future, his choice this time would not be in vain.

After sending Hong Chengchou away, Yu Xiaotian once again entered the palace and personally told Chongzhen about Hong Chengchou, Chongzhen when he heard that Hong Chengchou went north to King Qin this time, and it ended in the annihilation of the whole army, his spirit almost completely collapsed, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was completely shattered.

Especially after listening to the agreement reached by Yu Xiaotian and Hong Chengchou, Chongzhen was furious, got up and flew at Yu Xiaotian, stretched out his hand to strangle Yu Xiaotian to death, but was stopped by the eunuch, so that he could persuade Chongzhen to return to the dragon case.

Chongzhen didn't care about any self-cultivation at all, and scolded Hong Chengchou, scolding Hong Chengchou for being a rebel and a thief, and actually took refuge in Yu Xiaotian, a traitor, at this time.

Yu Xiaotian vented from Chongzhen, and after Chongzhen was tired of scolding, he told Chongzhen another news, that is, he had sent someone to negotiate with Zu Dashou these days.

Zu Dashou is the core figure of the Jinzhou Guanning Army, the official to the general of the Liao expedition, the title of the prince and the young master of the left capital, and the leader of the Jinzhou army.

Nowadays, the Guanning army outside the entire Shanhaiguan can be said to be almost under the control of Zu Dashou and other generals, and Zu Dashou is the most important person among them.

This time, Zu Dashou refused the imperial court edict to lead his troops into the king of Guanqin, and continued to stay in Jinzhou, obviously he was interested in watching the jokes of the imperial court, in the Ming Dynasty, a warlord group has already been formed, and Zu Dashou is undoubtedly the leader of these warlord groups, leading the largest warlord group.

He was originally willing to help the imperial court, so when the imperial court ordered him to send troops into the customs a year later, he transferred more than 10,000 Guan Ning troops to the customs and handed them over to the commander of Wu Xiang.

But soon after, he learned the news that the more than 10,000 elites he sent into the customs were almost wiped out by the Yu family army in the area of Tianjin Wei, and in the end, only Wu Sangui led less than 2,000 remnants of the defeated generals and fled back to Shanhaiguan.

When Zu Dashou heard the news, he was taken aback, sat down and carefully analyzed the information, only to find that Yu Jiajun's powerful Cheng Dรน was probably far beyond the scope of his cognition.

The Yu family army won more with less, and defeated the 100,000 Jiannu army that entered the customs, and then Wu Xiang and Chen Xinjia, who still had the strength to fight, were defeated and lost, so this shows that the combat power of the Yu family army is beyond imagination.

These Guanning army boast of being the first male soldier in the world, but it is only for other local officials and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, for so many years, their Guanning army and Jiannu have always lost more and won less, and those who have suffered more losses can be said to be old noses, but the Yu family army can win more with less, and almost wipe out the 100,000 Jiannu army, which is beyond everyone's imagination.

Then Yu Xiaotian announced that he wanted to enter the side of the Qing monarch in Beijing, and the court panicked, and sent someone to Zu Dashou to pass the decree, so that Zu Dashou immediately led the Guan Ning army to enter the king of Guan Qin again.

But this time Zu Dashou resolutely quit doing it, what are you kidding, can this Yu Jiajun be overturned? Jiannu is not their opponent, let the Guanning army enter the customs, and it is for nothing to go, it is estimated that this time the entry will not be able to come back, once the Guanning army is finished, they will lose all their holdings, then the next will become fish and meat, which can be slaughtered by others.

This time the court treated Yu Jiajun like this, which is not right for the court, and now it has provoked others, and if you want to enter the Qingjun side of Beijing, it is your own business, anyway, Zu Dashou said that he would not lead the army into King Guanqin.

Yu Xiaotian made it clear that this time he entered Beijing to clear the monarch's side, not to seek the usurpation of the dynasty, and these bigwigs in the court should also pay some price for their own actions.

These civil officials dragged them one by one all day long, looking at them and these generals picking their noses and eyes, they couldn't get used to it, if they didn't have soldiers in their hands, it is estimated that they would have been pulled out by the court and chopped up.

So let Yu Xiaotian slaughter a few officials in the court, it is not necessarily a bad thing, all in all, Zu Dashou insisted on not giving it, on the grounds that Jiannu was still eyeing the pass, and he could not get out of the customs and enter the customs, he refused to lead his troops into the customs.

And Wu Sangui learned the news, and sent people to Zu Dashou many times to cry and beg, so that Zu Dashou led his troops into the customs to avenge his father Wu Xiang, but he was also categorically rejected by Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang's fate is their example, and it is better not to provoke the Yu family army.

No matter who has the final say in the DPRK and China in the future, they will always be inseparable from them, as long as they sit and watch the direction of the wind, whoever is in power in the future will have milk and be a mother, and they must not miss their food and salary.

Therefore, Zu Dashou said that he would not lead his troops into King Guanqin, but led his troops to continue to stay in the Jinzhou area, and he has been paying attention to the movements of the Beijing Division.

When Zu Dashou learned that the Yu family army conquered the Beijing division and occupied the capital, he was even more shocked, he was very clear about the defense ability of the Beijing division, when Chongzhen first entered the customs in the early years of Jiannu, he returned to the division with Yuan Chonghuan to enter the guard, stationed outside the Chaoyang Gate of the capital, and fought with the Jiannu army.

Therefore, Zu Dashou is very familiar with the situation of the defense facilities in the capital, and it is quite difficult for such a strong city to be conquered from the outside, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers stationed in the capital, but it only took a few days for the Yu family army to attack the city.

Although there was news afterwards that Gao Minghu, the general of the Xuanfu Staff, had made the internal response of the Yu family army, opened the Dongzhi Gate to lead the Yu family army into the city, and led the loss of the capital, but at the same time, there was also news that even if Gao Minghu did not surrender, the Yu family army would not delay for long and could conquer Chaoyangmen.

This shows the terrible nature of the Yu family's army, Zu Dashou was even more reluctant to lead his troops into the customs at this time, and went to fight with the Yu family's army, he found the generals who fought with Wu Xiang in Tianjin and the Yu family's army, and inquired in detail about the combat strength of the Yu family's army and their tactics.

In addition, he also managed to catch a group of Jiannu defeated soldiers who tried to escape from the customs, and inquired about the decisive battle between the Jiannu army and the Yu family army.

As a battle-hardened veteran, Zu Dashou could judge the terrible Cheng of the Yu family army only from what he knew from the mouths of these generals and Jiannu defeated soldiers, and the Yu family army was a well-equipped army, with very powerful bird guns and a large number of cannons that could be used in field battles, and the tactics they used were also unknown to him before.

What's more important is that the soldiers of the Yu family are not afraid of death, they attach great importance to military discipline, dare to work the battlefield, there is no sound of gold, and they will never retreat without authorization, what is really terrible is their iron law, an army has such good military discipline, even if it is to give them wooden sticks, it is also a terrible force, let alone arm them to the teeth.

Although Zu Dashou boasted that the Guan Ning Army under his command was a strong army, it also depended on who he was compared with, compared with Jiannu, he still had the courage to fight with Jiannu, but when he understood the strength of the Yu family's army, he had completely lost the courage to confront the Yu family's army.

But Zu Dashou also felt very embarrassed, because their Guanning army was lonely outside the pass, at this time the climate outside the pass was extremely bad, although they also ordered the military households to tuntian, but over the years, the grain produced was not enough for them to eat, the Guanning army was based on the outside of the pass, and it was all dependent on the court in the pass to allocate food and salary for them to survive.

Now that the imperial court has obviously been controlled by Yu Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian can shoot the current saint to death when he turns his hand, so the Guan Ning army will lose the support of the imperial court in the future, and it will not be able to support outside the gate for a long time, what they will eat and drink in the future, and what to pay the soldiers and generals has become a very real problem.
