Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 446

With a flash of the knife, Wu Weihua lost his life unwillingly.

"Kill them all—"

Seeing the flustered servants, Jiang Guan was furious and growled.

After leaving the Wu Mansion, Jiang Guan was full of momentum, full of murderous aura.

After a while, his younger brother Jiang Wu came to report that Datong City had been brought under control.

"it is good!"

Jiang Yu let out a loud roar, and immediately came to the school grounds. Someone tore down the Daming flag, and said righteously:

"I will follow the imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty, and today I will oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and return to orthodoxy. Do you have any objections?"

Therefore, he added fuel and vinegar, and described the battle of Huai'an as the defeat of hundreds of thousands of Manchus and Qings, Shandong could not keep it, and the fall of Beijing was just a matter of time.

"Long live Daming, long live Daming—"

Datong's army is full of his confidantes, even if Man Qing is very afraid, he dare not transfer easily, naturally no one objects.

In an instant, many soldiers raised their arms and cheered, and they couldn't tell the difference between Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty.

"So, cutting the braid and changing the flag, at this time."

In front of everyone, Jiang Yan shook his head and showed his ugly rattail in front of everyone, then picked up the scissors, and made a "click" without hesitation.

broken.

It was half a foot long, following his braided hair for two or three years, and it just fell into the dirt.

Now, the generals in the army could only bite the bullet and cut off the braids behind them one by one.

After that, there are ordinary soldiers.

Just cutting off the braids took half a day.

Jiang Guan looked at the braids, feeling inexplicably reluctant.

After all, with a healthy body and skin, and receiving parents, I feel empty in my heart when it ends suddenly.

"Kill the dog!"

The round head is cold and cold in winter, but everyone is as imposing as a rainbow and full of enthusiasm.

That's right, Jiang Guan asked his servants to withdraw 50,000 taels of silver from the treasury, all of which were rewarded to the soldiers.

Slogans alone don't work, they still have benefits.

Especially the frontier army at the end of the Ming Dynasty was in a situation where they recognized money but not people.

Of course, this was also persecuted by the imperial court. If they owed money to the border for more than ten years, and sold their sons and daughters to serve as soldiers on hungry stomachs, no amount of loyalty would disappear.

At this time, the entire army has been completely dragged into the water, and Jiang Guan has nothing to fear.

He had already let soldiers and horses besiege the Shanxi Governor's Yamen, which became his own stepping stone.

The governor of Shanxi at this time was Shen Chaoji, who was from Liaodong and belonged to the Xianglan Banner of the Han Army. The 300 people under his command swore to resist.

"Bah! It's just being a slave and running dog, working so hard."

With the will to die, Shen Chaoji can be said to have exhausted his old life. He was only a civil servant, but Jiang Guan was quite uncomfortable with such a backbone.

Reluctantly, while sending people to smoke and fire, they sent people to fight Wu Weihua's army of more than a thousand people.

In this way, after another half a day, Shen Chao was smoked into a human being and died.

The huge Datong City was included in his pocket.

However, Jiang Guan also knew that Datong was under the jurisdiction of Governor Xuanda, and that it was the gateway to the west of Beijing, and the Qing Dynasty would never give up easily.

Sitting in Datong and waiting to die is not Jiang Guan's style. He immediately decided to send his troops to attack the area south of Datong.

Especially Taiyuan, once it is won, the entire province of Shanxi will be in its hands.

"Liu Qian, I will give you 5000 people, occupy Yanmen Pass, attack Daizhou, threaten Taiyuan—"

"If you do a good job, I will personally ask the emperor for your credit."

"The last general obeys orders!" Liu Qian, a heavy-backed general, was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly agreed.

After he left, Jiang Guan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second, can you do it?"

The eldest brother Jiang Lin had a serious expression on his face.

"Don't worry, brother, I've already made it, fully prepared."

Jiang Guan shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "I have suffered anger in Datong for two or three years, and today I want to take it back."

Jiang Guan is not aimless.

Following his actions and letters, the first response was Datong Mansion.

With one move to fly to Anguan, Shuo and Hun areas were all attacked, and all eleven nearby cities rebelled, and Datong Mansion changed hands in a blink of an eye.

In an instant, the whole of Shanxi was boiling.

Liu Wei, the chief soldier of the Green Battalion stationed in Ningwuguan (Shanxi Town), immediately raised his troops and changed flags, attracting Taiyuan's attention.

But Liu Qian took the opportunity to go south, and within two or three days, he passed the Yanmen Pass, captured the outer city of Daicheng, and surrounded the inner city with soldiers.

Immediately, Yao An, the leader of the rebel army in Shuozhou, raised troops to plunder the prefectures and counties in the name of enshrining Zhengshuo of the Ming Dynasty, and swept the entire Shuozhou in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the news spread to Northwest Shanxi, Piantouguan.

Biantouguan is not well-known in Shanxi, and it was only under the jurisdiction of Zhejiafu Prefecture in the Northern Song Dynasty in history, and it is located on the front line of the Great Wall.

If we say that there must be some famous person in this dynasty, it is Wan Shide, a famous official of the Wanli Dynasty who once led troops into the dynasty to fight against the Japanese.

He was originally from a military family, but became a civil official, and then became a soldier. He guarded the frontier many times, and finally became the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Governor of Xuanda.

In the Wan family's house, his eldest grandson Wanlian, although he has read poetry and books, has also learned martial arts. Hearing that his colleagues have changed, he is immediately happy:

"Da Ming is back."

Therefore, he used his grandfather and Wan's connections in the frontier army, and within a few days, he swept through Pianguan, Baode, Hequ and other counties.

When he was sharpening his sword and heading south, he ushered in an army of tens of thousands of people.

"What are you waiting for in Shanxi?"

Wan Lian frowned, he really didn't believe the so-called Daming messenger in front of him.

The messenger did not give up, and raised his head and said: "I follow the military order, like you to publicize the Ming Dynasty's order. If you surrender early, the court will not be stingy with officials."

"Hmph, I advise you not to go astray. Behind me is an army of [-], which is more than enough to crush your Baode Prefecture."

"Mingjun?"

Wan Lian took a closer look, and found that the man in front of him was indeed a military robe of the Ming army, but what was the red scarf around his neck?
"Why is the red scarf around your neck?"

"This is the blood scarf dyed by thousands of loyal officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."

The messenger was not afraid, instead he said proudly: "This is set up by His Majesty himself to boost our morale."

"What a strong man!"

Wan Lian was overjoyed, got off his horse quickly, and laughed loudly: "This is really flooding the Dragon King Temple, one family does not know the other."

"My subordinates have changed their flags, cut their hair braids, and Baode and other counties have returned to Daming."

As he said that, he was still afraid that he would not believe him, so he let the soldiers behind him show their bare heads, and the dirty rat braid disappeared.

Immediately, the two armies joined forces.

You Shide was in a good mood after seeing Wan Lian as a loyal and good one, but when he heard what he said about Datong Zhichang, his face was full of astonishment.

"This Jiang Yu, why doesn't he play cards according to common sense?"

"Aren't you the same?" Liu Tingjie said in disbelief.

It turned out that the group of them had originally traveled directly along the Great Wall to Datong to join forces with Jiang Tuan.

But when You Shide walked halfway, he felt that it was inappropriate. Wasn't all the credit taken away by Jiang Tuan?
Therefore, he thought, why not just take the opportunity to attack Taiyuan, when he will be in Jinzhong, Jiang Yu will be in Jinbei, and Jinbei and Jinzhong will cooperate with each other, and it will be easy to recover the entire Jin Dynasty.
