Chapter 2 The entry of slaves into the customs

Regarding the intensive discussion of how to recruit him during this period of time in the Ming court, Yu Xiaotian didn't pay attention to it at all, just buried his head in his affairs.

A fleet of boats from Tamsui and Kaohsiung, Weitou Bay, and Haitan Island left the docks, loaded with all kinds of ammunition, weapons, food, and mules and horses, and were transported out of the location in batches, and then disappeared into the sea.

And just when Chongzhen and the ministers were secretly discussing when to transfer troops to the south, at the end of September and early October, the weather turned colder, and Hong Chengchou from Shaanxi also came with news that Li Zicheng's troops had been surrounded in the mountains around Shangluo, and they could be exterminated when they were trapped to death and forced to go out of the mountains to find food.

But at this time, outside the pass and did not have a long time to divide the Jiannu, suddenly the army was divided into two ways, one was the Prince of Rui Dolgon commanded an army of 40,000, detoured through Mongolia from the Xifeng Pass to break in, and the other road was led by the Jiannu general Yue Tuo as the main commander, from the wall of the ridge to break through, straight to the Ming Jinggi, and the slave chief Taiji, then personally led part of the army, outside the Shanhaiguan, to contain the Ming border army, so that the other two ways of the Jiannu army was able to follow the lĂŹ into the pass.

This is already the third time that Jiannu has entered the customs in a big way, and the report has passed on the Jingshi, and suddenly the Beijing division was shocked, and Chongzhen was blindfolded when he heard it, this time according to the report, Jiannu sent a total of 100,000 troops to attack the pass, and the Ming army fled when they heard the wind along the way, and almost did not play a role in blocking the Jiannu army.

Even the military generals and civil officials of some prefectures and counties abandoned the city and fled before the Jiannu army arrived, causing the entire Gyeonggi area to be in a comprehensive emergency immediately.

In fact, the last two Qing troops entered the customs, and almost all the prefectures and counties around Gyeonggi were looted, and until now, neither the people nor the army have recovered from these places.

Moreover, the Ming army's fear of the Jiannu army in Guannai has reached an unparalleled level, so that the Ming army in Guannai has hardly been able to play a role in delaying the Jiannu army.

Even Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiliao, who led his troops to stop the Jiannu army, was defeated and captured by Jiannu after a few days of death, and was finally killed by Jiannu because he refused to surrender to Jiannu.

After the Jiannu army broke through the pass, they quickly broke through several cities in the north of the Beijing Division, and immediately after plundering, they joined the divisions together, bypassing the capital and attacking in the direction of Zhuozhou.

Chongzhen heard the news, and the heart of crying was there, this Jiannu is really hateful to the extreme, and it is too timely to pick this time, and now the news that Li Zicheng's department is expected to be exterminated has just come from Shaanxi, and he has no time to be happy, and Jiannu is here.

Nowadays, the entire Gyeonggi region, although it cannot be said that the troops are empty, but it is not much better, the main force is basically stationed in the Shanhaiguan area, the strongest combat effectiveness of the Guanning army is guarded in the Shanhaiguan area, and there are a large number of slave chieftains led by the Jiannu army outside the war, so these Guanning troops can not move at all.

The defenders around Gyeonggi were not strong enough and had no fighting spirit at all, at best, it was good to hold the city, and there were simply not enough troops to intercept the southward movement of the Jiannu army.

After Chongzhen learned the news, the first thing that came to mind was Lu Xiangsheng, the current governor of Xuanda, and immediately transferred Lu Xiangsheng and 20,000 officers and soldiers of Xuanda to the Beijing Division, and Shanxi and Xuanda General Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Wang Pu and others were transferred to the Beijing Division.

Lu Xiangsheng happened to be at home at this time, and he was unable to make the trip for the time being, but Chongzhen issued an order to seize the affection, so that Lu Xiangsheng quickly entered Beijing and led the army to block the Jiannu army, and gave Lu Xiangsheng the governor of the world soldiers and horses to resist the Jiannu army.

But at this time, there is a problem, that is, Chongzhen has really been scared of Jiannu, and there is now a wind direction in the DPRK, that is, some ministers privately believe that although Jiannu is hateful, but after all, they can only stay outside the pass.

Since this is the case, as long as the imperial court guards the Jingshi and the Jingshi has nothing to do, then even if Jiannu is allowed to break through some state capitals and counties, they will only rob some goods and plunder some people, and sooner or later they will still return to Guanwai.

In this case, then why don't Daming negotiate peace with Jiannu in private, follow the example of the Northern Song Dynasty back then, and give Jiannu some annual tribute every year, of course, it can't be said to be a tribute, only a reward, and give Jiannu a hundred or twenty thousand taels of silver every year, so that Jiannu can stay outside the pass for a living, and don't look for something to pull down.

Of course, this trend of thought also affected Chongzhen, so Chongzhen began to swing between war and peace, on the one hand, he transferred Lu Xiang to the governor of Beijing to fight against Jiannu, but on the other hand, he privately sent Chen Xinjia to contact Jiannu very privately to contact Jiannu to see if there was any possibility of peace talks.

But Chongzhen's small actions can hide from others, but he can't hide his closest cronies Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian and others, these people immediately saw Chongzhen's idea of cowardice, so they echoed Chongzhen and decided to make peace.

However, after Lu Xiangsheng quickly entered Beijing, he put forward a strategy of fighting to the death, vowing to divide with the Jiannu army, which disagreed with the opinions of Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian and others.

Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian and others, what they are most afraid of is that Lu Xiangsheng is too hard, and he will lead the army and Jiannu to fight to the death, once Lu Xiangsheng is fully in charge of the army, once he and Jiannu are red-eyed, I am afraid that the matter of peace will be in vain, so Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian tried their best to start tossing Lu Xiangsheng.

Although Lu Xiangsheng was nominally the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, in fact he could only control the 20,000 officers and troops he brought from Xuanda, including the tens of thousands of Guanning troops transferred from Liaodong to guard, and did not listen to his dispatch.

Even so, after Lu Xiang was promoted to the Beijing Division, he still led the Xuanda soldiers to maneuver with the Jiannu army around the capital, knocked out some small groups of Jiannu soldiers and horses, and won some small victories.

But the more Lu Xiangsheng did this, the more Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian were afraid of him, and Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang also had conflicts in private, Yang Sichang absolutely did not want to see Lu Xiangsheng win the battle, in that case, it would seem that he was too incompetent.

So Yang Sichang tried to divide Lu Xiangsheng's military power, and allocated the 20,000 elite soldiers brought by Lu Xiangsheng from Xuanda to the new governor of Xuanda, Chen Xinjia, Chen Xinjia knew the emperor's and Yang Sichang's intentions, of course, he would not cooperate with Lu Xiangsheng and the Jiannu army, and he did not have the courage.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng only had thousands of soldiers and horses left, and it was pitiful to say, although Lu Xiangsheng was holding the Shang Fang sword given by Chongzhen, but there were no soldiers at hand, except for the thousands of officers and soldiers he had left, the rest of the soldiers and horses were in the hands of Gao Qiqian and Chen Xinjia.

Lu Xiangsheng was grief-stricken and indignant, but he was helpless, even so, he still took these thousands of officers and soldiers to pursue the Jiannu army everywhere, trying to turn the tide.

As for Lu Xiangsheng's fate, no one could recover it at this time, and he rushed towards the abyss without hesitation with thousands of soldiers.

After the Jiannu two armies entered the customs, they did not concentrate their forces to storm the Beijing Division, but left a small number of soldiers and horses to attack and contain the main force of the officers and troops near the Beijing Division, and the rest of the Jiannu army was divided into two roads again in Zhuozhou, and they were divided into two roads in Zhuozhou, and they were divided into Shandong and North Zhili and other places all the way to attack wildly, burning and looting along the way.

Beizhili and Shandong all over the emergency, almost no one can stop these Jiannu soldiers, along the way the state capital and county have been broken by Jiannu, Jiannu on the way to make a lot of money, wrapped in a large number of people, driving these refugees, for them to carry all kinds of materials and goods.

At this time, where did Chongzhen still ponder what to wave his army to the south to conquer Yu Xiaotian! Every day, the urgent recitals sent to the Beijing division from all over the country were like snowflakes, and the situation was so eroded that it could almost be said that it was impossible to add to it.

But Chongzhen didn't dare to openly discuss the matter of making peace with Jiannu in the end, because he loved face too much, although some people discussed it privately at this time, saying that he might as well negotiate peace with Jiannu, but Chongzhen only thought about this kind of thing, but he really didn't dare to publicly express his idea of wanting to make peace with Jiannu.

Therefore, Chen Xinjia's final contact with Jiannu could only be stopped, but a group of ministers led by Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian were afraid of the enemy like tigers, and never dared to assign a large army to fight to the death with Jiannu.

Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, speaking of which, also ran all over the world behind Jiannu's ass, but they always just fell far behind Jiannu's ass and ran blindly.

Gao Qiqian, as the supervisor appointed by Chongzhen, controlled tens of thousands of elite officers and soldiers, left the Beijing division to wander around the area of Beizhili, and strictly ordered the commanders of all departments not to underestimate the enemy's wave warfare. No one underestimates the enemy, and no one dares to underestimate the enemy, and the key to this sentence lies in the word wave war.

No wave war means that you can't fight lightly with the Jiannu army, everyone just runs, and no one will run lightly to pick up the cheapness of the Jiannu army.

Only Lu Xiangsheng himself, with thousands of officials and troops under his command, chased the Jiannu army, whether he would fight with Jiannu, but Lu Xiangsheng also knew that his troops were not good, and the other officers and troops under his command would never provide him with support lightly.

Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, was one of the representatives, and the officials in other places were afraid of offending Yang Sichang, so when Lu Xiangsheng led his troops to arrive, he sent a little silver from the city and let Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers buy food by themselves, but Zhang Qiping simply closed the city gate and did not even give Lu Xiangsheng a tael of silver, so that later Lu Xiangsheng brought the soldiers and horses without even food.
