Chapter 443 Restoration of Shanxi at the speed of instant killing
Jiang Guan naturally knew the importance of forming a north-south pinch attack with the main force of Ming Dynasty as soon as possible after raising troops.

So of course he would give Daming time to prepare, otherwise he would do it suddenly, and Daming wouldn't know about it, and if he didn't come to rescue him, it would be courting death.

He planned to raise troops officially on September [-]th, but in fact, as early as the sixth day of August, when he had just rebelled and made a preliminary plan, he had already secretly dispatched confidant messengers to the south to communicate with Daming.

Jiang Guan's messengers traveled in the south of Shanxi in a relatively low-key and secretive way, not daring to fly and make public. After all, Luzhou, Zezhou, Huaiqing is still the state capital controlled by Manchu generals, and it is easy to be interrogated.Be cautious for seven or eight days before passing through those mansions.

After entering the border of Henan, he didn't have so many worries. Jiang Guan's messenger soon met Zhang Huangyan, the Governor of Henan in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Huangyan also attached great importance to it. After understanding the situation, he immediately sent it to Nanjing with an official [-]-mile express delivery. On August [-]th, it was delivered to the Nanjing court.

In Jiang Guan's letter, a date for raising troops was roughly agreed, which was around September [-]th.Therefore, it is relatively urgent to leave less than a month for the rear troops of the Ming Dynasty to move forward to Henan and enter the state of wartime.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty usually stored enough weapons, ammunition and military rations on the front line, but the troops were stationed at the rear in peacetime, so as long as they marched lightly, they could go directly into battle.

After Zhu Shuren received Jiang Guan's defection letter, he didn't waste time. He made a decision within only three days, including dispatching the resting Ming army to prepare for the battle and enter Luoyang and Kaifeng.Then the first batch of 10,000+ troops started to move.

Of course, the mobilized Ming army was more than the 10,000+, and this was only for Luoyang and Kaifeng.

It is impossible for hundreds of thousands of main forces of the Ming army to pile up on one front, otherwise the "logistics penalty/force stacking penalty" would be too great.Other parties can also maintain pressure and disperse and contain the Qing army.

However, other secondary directions are not so urgent. Of course, in a short time, it is necessary to prepare first and transfer to Henan.If you prepare slowly, fill in the line in other directions.

God bless Daming, after Daming made a dispatch, some ministers in the court, such as Shi Kefa, reminded Zhu Shuren that he should write back to Jiang Guan, give him confidence, and let him know that Daming will support him, so that the two sides can cooperate better tacit agreement.Later, even Gu Yanwu, Zhu Shuren's aide, persuaded him to do so.

But Zhu Shuren rejected those people's suggestions and analyzed:
"I can't reply anymore. Even those who have read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" know that when Kan Ze defended himself in front of Cao Cao, he said, 'Stealing against the master, how can it be done on a regular basis'? Make a move, but the other side comes to respond, wouldn't it be exposed?

Although Kan Ze's words are an exaggeration for Huang Gai, they may not be completely reasonable, but they can also be used for reference as appropriate.Now that Jiang Tuan is around the corner anyway, the more time passes, the greater the movement of his troop deployment will be, and the more likely it will arouse the vigilance of the surrounding Manchu generals guarding the state capital.

When there was no movement before, he sent a courier to Luoyang to deliver a letter. Even if he had to hide in Tibet, it took seven or eight days to pass the short distance of two and a half mansions.Going back this time, the enemy's guard is even stricter. Will it be possible to pass in ten days and half a month?
If we want to ensure delivery before the army rises, then we must let the messenger cross the Yellow River at least half a month before the army rises. If the messenger is caught, the Tartars will know the information half a month in advance and make full preparations. Maybe set an ambush and use tricks!
Therefore, we don't need to reply to Jiang Yu's letter, we just count on him to raise troops when the date arrives!Anyway, we are ready, and we will be able to respond as soon as we hear that Jiang Guan raised his troops! "

After hearing the words, Shi Kefa couldn't help worrying: "But Jiang Yu asked us to reply in the letter. If we don't reply, he doesn't know if Daming is willing to support him, and if he can support him in time, will he dare to raise troops?"

But Zhu Shuren smiled: "Think about it, if Jiang Yu asked us to reply, but we didn't reply, what would he think? Would he think that Daming didn't want to support him?

No!He would only feel that his messenger was killed by the Tartars!His letter was also intercepted by the Tartars!If the matter has been leaked, then he has no choice but to fight back. Even without my response, Da Ming, he can only struggle to the death and survive!
Otherwise, Hauge knew that he was going to turn against him, and he would keep him alive?There is no way to stop or turn back such things as treason, they can only go one way to the dark! "

After Zhu Shuren's analysis, he could only lament that honest gentlemen like Shi Kefa and Gu Yanwu still have too little understanding of the mentality of rebels. It seems that they lack experience in rebellion.

It's not like Zhu Shuren, who knows that he is a professional treasonist when he hears what he says.

……

After confirming that there is no need to reply to Jiang Yu's letter, the progress of the matter is really less risky.

Because with Jiang Guan's preparations for raising troops, the Qing army's troops in southern Shanxi and Hanoi were really a little vigilant.

Hauge originally planned to further weaken the power of the Green Camp Han generals, and the two sides were already in a semi-tensioned state where it was easy to misfire.

If Daming replied to the letter, although it cannot be said that the messenger would definitely be intercepted by the Qing army, the danger would definitely be enormous.

But Daming did not reply, and the Ming army in Luoyang did not show any intention of preparing for war. All this paralyzed the Qing army, making the Qing army think that Jiang Tuan had no collusion with Daming.

There is only a thousand days to be a thief in the world, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief?If you don't see the effect, you will naturally relax slowly.

In addition, some people think that Jiang Tuan sent his son-in-law to Beijing the year before last to "learn Manchurian etiquette so that the court can use it as he pleases".

Otherwise, wouldn't his son who stayed in Beijing be killed on the spot?

On the other hand, Jiang Yu waited and waited, until the [-]th day of September, Daming still hadn't replied, and it was supposed to raise troops on that day.He delayed another two days longer than the original plan. In the end, September [-] couldn't wait any longer. All kinds of "things must have been leaked, maybe the people sent by Haoge to collect me are already going to enter the country" and so on. Brain supplementation finally forced Jiang Guan to fight nervously.

Within two or three days, the four prefectures of Datong, Taiyuan, Fenzhou, and Qinzhou successively raised flags and raised flags, announcing their return to Daming.

After raising troops, Jiang Guan defended the dangerous pass of Taihang Mountain in the east of Datong and Taiyuan to prevent the Hebei Qing army from crossing Taihang Mountain.While clearing out the remaining loyal forces inside——

After all, Jiang Guan's power is not monolithic, and not everyone in him is willing to follow him to abandon the Qing Dynasty and join the Ming Dynasty.After pulling the flag, there was naturally a lot of chaos.

After the two internal lines were stabilized, Jiang Guan's third move was to try to attack Luzhou and Pingyang respectively.

If Luzhou and Zezhou were penetrated, he would be able to get in touch with the Luoyang Ming Army as soon as possible, and get Zhang Huangyan's money, food and military supplies.

And from Taiyuan along the Fen River in Pingyang Prefecture, you can go all the way to Hejin County, from Hejindu to join the Yellow River, get in touch with Guanzhong under the control of Wu Sangui of the Ming Dynasty, and get the help of the remnants of Wu Sangui's Guanning Army.

If any of these two roads are opened up, Jiang Guan will be able to revitalize this round.

……

After Jiang Guan raised his troops, Hauge in Beijing, of course, couldn't help being shocked.

Although he had a bit of a premonition, it was mainly because there were too many premonitions recently, and accidents might happen everywhere. In the end, he didn't expect that it was Jiang Yu who had the accident first.

He got the news that it was the fourth day after Jiang Guan raised his troops, and he simply confirmed it. That evening, Hauge rushed to ask for a brief interrogation, and left Jiang Guan in Beijing at [-]:[-] the next day. The son who was a hostage was taken to Caishikou and beheaded for public display!
Bannerman young and old in Beijing, when they saw the lively execution scene, they naturally wanted to watch the execution. Most ordinary people didn’t know what the prisoner had committed until they watched the execution. whisper.

"Old Zhao, this prisoner looks delicate and tender. He must be a son of a powerful man. What crime? Although I heard that many officials have been killed in the past few months, I haven't seen it in public like this. There is no need to leave it for the queen mother." face?"

Most of the people who eat melons thought that it was still more than two months ago that Hauge made a fuss about the series of cases of "not giving the empress dowager an emblem, which is disrespectful", and that the ones who were killed were the henchmen of the empress dowager Zhaosheng's faction. He also said that Prince Su is becoming less and less respectful, and there is no way to show this kind of polite reason for killing people.

Fortunately, there were some knowledgeable people in the crowd, and they quickly showed off proudly: "Brother Liu, you don't know yet? This case has nothing to do with those messy things in the palace—it was the rebellion of the Green Battalion General in Shanxi! Pulling the flag It's clear! This is his legitimate son, and there are more than one of them, all of whom were dragged to beheaded."

The people who eat melons were shocked: "That Jiang Yu? Is this guy so cruel? Tiger poison does not eat children, but there are several sons in the hands of the court, and they even take the initiative to rebel? You really deserve it! This kind of beast is not as good as it should be. !"

As a group of rebel family members were all cut down, the banner people in Beijing were filled with righteous indignation for a while. Hauge barely encouraged some morale, and then immediately organized the main force of the Eight Banners to go to Shanxi to prepare for the rebellion.

……

However, Hauge, who was in Beijing, was not the first external force to learn of Jiang Guan's mutiny.

Before Jiang Guan raised his troops, Daming had made secret preparations in advance, and even Zhu Shuren, king of E, had secretly arrived in Luoyang in person to supervise and control the army.

With the current run-in, combat power and morale of the Ming army, Zhu Shuren actually does not need to intervene in the battle. He himself went to Luoyang to solve the excuse problem before the resumption of war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so as to boost his own morale as much as possible and confuse the enemy. people's hearts.

After all, the two sides have a secret agreement, so that the fault of tearing up the peace can be passed on to others, so why not push it?Even if it is just to make the enemy "morale -10" and your own "morale +10", it is better than doing nothing.

Therefore, in the first two days after Jiang Guan raised his troops, Daming really did not use force directly. Instead, it sent envoys to send an ultimatum to the Qing army in the Hanoi area on the opposite bank of Luoyang—mainly a sneak attack, and it was impossible to directly steal. Succeeded, so a delay of two days does not delay the fighter.

If the sneak attack can affect whether to directly select a few cities, then Zhu Shuren is not a pedantic person, and he will not care about face so much. After all, the world still depends on fists.

The messenger of the ultimatum is a rotten Confucian who has been left alone in the court for many years, Huang Daozhou.Huang Daozhou's status in the last years of Chongzhen was not low. He and Liu Zongzhou and others are big names in the censor circle, but just emphasizing morality can't do shit.
In history, he also missed many things and forced many forces that could have been won over to the hostile side.

For example, he used moral kidnapping to disrupt Chen Xinjia's peace talks and caused Chen Xinjia to be killed by Chongzhen.Later in history, when King Tang succeeded to the throne as Emperor Longwu, Huang Daozhou also advocated treating all those whose hair was shaved as traitors, and dealt with them under high pressure, forcing more people to the side of the Tartars. In the end, King Tang was more aware of suffering, He took the initiative to say "refugees who shave their hair, and righteous people who keep their hair".

So Zhu Shuren naturally wouldn't give this kind of people who don't understand anything but morals and practical affairs a chance to use them again, and just put them on the shelf for a false job.

Of course, the personal morality of these people is definitely not a problem, so Zhu Shuren would not harm them in the first place.The envoy this time needs someone who is not afraid of death. Others are less courageous, so Zhu Shuren used the waste to ask Huang Daozhou to face the Tartars.

Huang Daozhou arrived in Hanoi County, the governor of Huaiqing Prefecture, only one day after Jiang Guan raised his troops. It was almost after Jiang Guan raised his troops that he crossed the Yellow River north from Mengjin, Luoyang.

So much so that Hanoi's Qing army defender had just passed six hundred miles and learned that Jiang Tuan had rebelled. A few hours later, the Ming envoy arrived, making it clear that Daming knew the situation in advance.

But Huang Daozhou was not afraid that the enemy would become angry from embarrassment. He still did not disgrace his mission and made a strict request: "Although your country and our Ming Dynasty have not signed an armistice agreement, our Ming Dynasty is based on kindness. It is Dorgon,

Now that Dorgon has been put to death, that's why I gave your country a buffer time to slowly deal with the issue of the ownership of the Central Plains - the current truce to be discussed is the kindness of my Ming Dynasty, which was bestowed on your country, otherwise, with the strength of Ming Ming's soldiers, The Northern Expedition has already taken back Beijing!
Therefore, I hope that your country will exercise restraint, and not interfere with the local governor of your country who voluntarily abandons the dark side and turns to the Ming Dynasty, and returns to our Ming Dynasty.Your army should stop operations on the border of Luzhou, and I, Ming Dynasty, will also write to Jiang Guan to negotiate the ownership of the land, so as not to use weapons without authorization.If your country insists on launching an attack on the land that has taken refuge in our Ming Dynasty, then your country will initiate the war first, and our Ming Dynasty will definitely fight back with thunder! "

The guard of the Huaiqing Mansion of the Qing Army was named Guarja Tulai, who had died at this time in history because he belonged to the Hauge Party.But now that because of the butterfly effect, Hauge's faction successfully killed Dorgon and took power, so his situation has improved a lot, and he is still in charge of the army.

Faced with Huang Daozhou's "shameless words", Tulai was naturally very angry: You want my Qing Dynasty to allow Jiang Guan to pull the flag to vote for the Ming Dynasty, and then recognize Datong and Taiyuan as the territory of the Ming Dynasty?Recognize Daming's actual control?Is there such a reason in the world?
But Huang Daozhou didn't change his face, saying, "Before the Qing Dynasty, how many governors of the Ming Dynasty were you who instigated rebellion against me? After the death of the first emperor, how many governors in the north were instigated by you? Do you want to calculate carefully?
Now I, Ming, are willing not to use swords, and let the people of the world choose independently, and serve and respect who is Zhengshuo. This is an opportunity for you to peacefully win the hearts of the world!What's more, Jiang Guan came to vote voluntarily, and I, Da Ming, didn't take the initiative to instigate rebellion. If I, Da Ming, can't protect those who come to vote, how can I save face?I hope that the Qing Dynasty will do well for itself! "

With such a strong word, how can a semi-literate person like Tulai compare with Zodiac Week?What's more, Huang Daozhou has been a well-known moral high school since the 13th year of Chongzhen. He refused peace talks back then, of course he didn't save face in every sentence.

Tulai was left speechless by Huang Daozhou's words, and finally drew his sword angrily: "God! Are you not afraid of death! I will teach you whether my Daqing sword is sharp!"

Huang Daozhou was unafraid: "Beasts are born, if you dare to use a knife, Prince E will call you Huaiqing Hefu soldiers and horses, and dogs will not be spared!"

"Looking for death!" Tu Lai's blood rushed to his head, regardless of the consequences, he stabbed Huang Daozhou to death, chopped off his head and hung it on a pole for public display.

Half an hour later, the Ming army crossed the Yellow River from Mengjindu, entered the territory of Huaiqing Mansion from Luoyang.

Huang Deli led [-] cavalry in the lead, and went straight to Hanoi County, bypassing all small counties and rural villages and towns along the way, only to quickly encircle Hanoi.

The Qing army garrisoned there, because they only learned that the second day after Jiang Guan raised his troops, the Qing army in other directions naturally had no time to deploy their defenses in place, so they were infiltrated by the Ming army with absolute superiority.

After Huang Degong surrounded Hanoi County, he spent another day or two building siege camps, siege equipment, and waiting for the rear infantry and artillery to follow up.

The cavalry arrived at the city on September 21, and the infantry artillery arrived one after another on September 22. On the [-]nd, they began to bombard and attack the city.

Before the infantry artillery arrived, the Qing army also tried to use infantry and cavalry to go out of the city to counterattack the field, but Tulai's troops were insufficient, and only a few thousand soldiers could be dispatched. There was no suspense that they were crushed and severely injured by Huang Degong, killing more than a thousand and injuring them. The number of those who fled was several times higher.

In the past two years, the Ming and Qing armies had only occasional small-scale, low-intensity conflicts, plus a few truces of several months at a time.The Qing army obviously did not understand the improvement of the Ming army's offensive capabilities.

This time the Ming army directly used a full seventy or eighty Hongyi cannons, as well as the latest and heaviest ones.However, after a day of bombing, a city of the prefecture level in Hanoi was directly smashed and several city walls collapsed.

The melee soldiers of the Ming army swarmed in and fought with a small number of Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army. After half an hour of bloody fighting, the Qing army's troops blocking the gap completely collapsed.

The Ming army rushed into the gap, and the main force of the follow-up riflemen also rushed to kill, blocked the main street with rifles, and started bloody street fighting.

Under normal circumstances, the Ming army would accept surrender and capture, but the situation in Hanoi is a little special. The Ming army ordered that all surrendered soldiers must turn to the front of the line if they want to survive, and help the Ming army kill the Eight Banners soldiers, and only accept Han soldiers. Surrender, even if the soldiers wanted to surrender, they would not give a chance—this is obviously because the Qing army committed the extremely vile crime of killing Lai Shi, so it cannot be pardoned.

The people in the city were forced to jump over the wall and could only fight to the last moment. Unfortunately, the Ming army blocked the main street with a large number of rifles.

A whole day of bloody massacres, the city was full of more than [-] soldiers, and all their families, without leaving any chickens or dogs, were all killed and piled up as the crown of the capital.

Before the war, Zhu Shuren ordered Huang Degong: Find Huang Daozhou's body and head, have them stitched together for a rich burial, and use the Manchu Jingguan to pay homage.

The Ming army also promoted a deterrent shout by the way: Anyone who dares to kill the Ming army's urging ceasefire envoy will kill all the soldiers in the city where the envoy's general is located, and no one will be left and will not accept surrender.

Unless the ordinary Tazi soldiers know that the chief general is unreasonable, take the initiative to kill the whole family of the senior generals of the Qing army who are responsible for killing envoys, and take the initiative to open the city and surrender before the Ming army attacks the city. to forgive the rest.

After all, this is a Tartar who doesn't want to be a human being, so there is nothing to say.

After the order was issued, other small counties in Huaiqing Prefecture were easy to take, and they were settled within a day or two.Afterwards, the Ming army continued to take advantage of the advantage of local forces to advance triumphantly, breaking through Luzhou and Zezhou, and finally opened up the land communication channel between Daming and Jiangguanfan before Hauge's main force arrived.

The whole of Shanxi returned to Daming in just half a month. This speed really shocked Hauge and other civil and military officials in Beijing's puppet Qing court.

The hearts of the people in the world are scattered and collapsed, has it reached this point?The appeal and cohesion of the Qing Dynasty to the soldiers and civilians of the world has almost disappeared?Daming comes and pushes and falls?How can I fight this?

PS: Tomorrow... please take a day off.A little confused.In the past two weeks, Sanyi Qigao has created a new book with more than 1 words at the beginning. I chatted with the editor for four hours yesterday, and I am very grateful for the big data and hot information provided by the other party.

In short, my new book plan is to completely push DAO and re-select the topic, and the dynasty and the identity of the protagonist are not popular.I am now back to the topic selection stage overnight, and all the things I have prepared in the past two weeks have been wasted.

Tomorrow, I need to quickly start a new topic selection, and try to give the editor some spare tire options on Monday.She said that which dynasty and which protagonist's origin can be written, so I will choose which one to write.
