Blood from Daming

Chapter 802 Chaos
When Gao Guiying saw a large number of retreating army and civilian troops, he thought that Jiazhou City had been captured by the rebels. After questioning the defeated soldiers, he found out that these defeated soldiers belonged to the troops of Suide Prefecture. Withdrew the troops for several days in a row, thinking that it was an opportunity to gain military exploits, and gathered 5000 troops to prepare for an armed parade in Jiazhou City, but they didn't want to be ambushed by Wang Jiayin, and the Suide army, which had little experience in large-scale combat, was defeated in the first battle. , Zhou Shiqi and Sun Shoufa escaped the fastest, and led the remnants of the defeated army back to Suide Prefecture that day.

The Fugu Rebel Army, who was chasing the defeated soldiers in Suide Prefecture, stopped chasing and killing the defeated soldiers in Suide Prefecture after encountering the Gao Family Army. After gathering the troops, they slowly retreated northward. Outside the south gate of the city, the siege of Jiazhou City was finally achieved.

Knowing that Gao's army had come to rescue the siege, Mao Zhixian and Guo Shoubei of Jiazhou County went out to express their thanks. After Gao Guiying met with Mao Zhixian and Guo Shoubei, they said some compliments to each other, and Mao Zhixian and Guo Shoubei invited Gao Guiying to enter the city triumphantly. Instead, he pushed Yan Zibin into the city to appease the soldiers and civilians of Jiazhou City on behalf of the imperial court.

Gao's army broke the siege of Jiazhou City without any effort, but Zhou Shiqi and Sun Shoufa in Suide Prefecture had selfish motives, greedy for merit and ventured into the lone army, and were ambushed. More than half of the 5000 men and horses were lost. Brothers, nephews and common people surrounded and cried. The farce did not subside until Gao's army returned to Suide Prefecture and more defeated soldiers sneaked back secretly. The army in Dezhou was short of soldiers and food, and Zhou Shiqi and Sun Shoufa did not get out of the shadow of the defeat of Jiazhou City until the Fugu Rebel Army went south.

The Gao family army stationed outside Jiazhou City for half a month, protecting the people in Jiazhou City who were already short of food and clothing, looking for wild animals and wild vegetables outside the city to satisfy their hunger. He ordered Gao's army to return to Gao's army.

However, Gao Guiying delayed the rescue of Jiangzhou City for herself, which made the ten rooms and nine empty spaces outside Jiazhou City very sad. Before leaving, she gave the remaining 300 dans of grain and thousands of edible cattle and sheep to the people of Jiazhou. The people of Jiazhou who got a little food and meat were very grateful to Gao Guiying, and many people even burned incense to bless Gao Guiying with a long life. Kind.

Gao Guiying returned to Gaojiajunzhai to rest and recuperate. He did not wait for the award from the governor of the three sides, Wu Zhiwang. Fear became sick, and he committed suicide in Guyuan Governor's Mansion in March.

It turned out that the deserters from Guyuan escaped from the pursuit of the Yulin army at the beginning of the year, plundered Jingyang and Fuping counties, and captured the guerrilla Li Ying alive.In February, Liu Yingyu of Shang Luodao, Shaanxi Province, led the recruiting soldiers into Hanzhong, and the Hechuan soldiers defeated the deserters of Guyuan for a while, but Huang Yuanma, who assisted in the defense of Lueyang, was killed, and the deserters of Guyuan hid in Hanyin Mountain. In April, he came back to plunder Zhenning, Ningzhou, Anhua, Sanshui and other places. He engulfed tens of thousands of thieves and bandits and besieged Yaozhou City in April. The newly appointed Shaanxi Food Superintendent participated in politics. Under the city, but this can no longer save the life of Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides.

The death of Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides, was also caused by Baishui Wang Er, Fugu Wang Jiayin, Hannan Wang Daliang, Anzhai Gao Zhengxiang, Yichuan Wang Zuogua, Feishanhu, Dahonglang, Luochuan Wanghu, Heisha God, Monk Yanchuan Wang, Han Chaozai in Qingyang, Gansu, and Zhou Dawang in Wudu all over Shaanxi, and the people of Shaanxi came to the people to fight for food.When the fluff and grass are exhausted, the bark will be peeled and eaten; when the bark is exhausted, the stones in the mountains will be dug and eaten. The stone is cold and smelly, and if you eat less, you will be full. In a few days, you will have abdominal distension and fall to the point of death. Burn human bones as salary. Cooking human flesh for food, and cannibalism has become the norm. The whole of Shaanxi, except West Bank and Yan'an, is controlled by the imperial court. The hungry people gather together as "thieves". Rather than waiting to die of hunger, it is better to die for "thieves". Everyone is a thief, under such circumstances, Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides, will not die.

However, the governor of the three sides, Wu Zhiwang, was out of luck. After his death, Gao Guiying's record of defeating Fugu Wang Jiayin in Jiazhou was passed on. Yingyu set up an ambush to kill Wang Er, Zhong Guangdao and Yang Hufa of the rest were defeated and fled to southern Shaanxi. Liu Yingyu defeated Hannan King Daliang again, and Daliang King was defeated and captured.

Although some achievements have been made in the suppression of thieves, with the death of Wu Zhiwang, governor of the three sides, Shaanxi governor Hu Tingyan, Yansui governor Yue Hesheng, Yulin town commander Wang Hu and other Shaanxi civil and military officials have become guilty. He did not urge Gao Guiying to send troops to suppress the bandits.

In April, civil and military officials in Shaanxi received news that Emperor Chongzhen ordered Yang He to serve as the left deputy capital censor, the right servant of the Ministry of War, and the governor of Shaanxi's three-sided military affairs. Gao Guiying respected Xue Yun's judgment like a god. Yun said that Yang He is a Confucian-minded official, and Chongzhen sent such a person to Shaanxi to suppress thieves. .

Instead, the new governor of Shaanxi Liu Guangsheng has arrived, because the governor Hu Tingyan was not dismissed as in history because of the great victory in Jiazhou, but the governor of Yansui Yue Hesheng fell ill. In politics, Wang Hu, the commander-in-chief of Yulin Town, was dismissed for failing to suppress the bandits, and he was dismissed from his post.

As soon as Du Wenhuan took office, he ordered Wang Jiayin to surrender, but Wang Jiayin refused to be appeased. In early May, Du Wenhuan mobilized more than 5000 soldiers from Yansui and Guyuan to fall into Shenmu County first, and captured nearly [-] rebels. Waiting for surrender, but Wang Jiayin resisted the siege of Yansui Town officers and soldiers according to Shoufu Valley and refused to surrender.

With the arrival of Yang He, the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, Liu Yingyu, the military governor of Shangluo, Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou, Yansui, and Du Wenhuan, the commander-in-chief of Guyuan, and other capable ministers tried their best to suppress the bandits. The situation of the bandits in Shaanxi has greatly improved, but Fuchen Yang He adopted the principle of slow work and careful work, which relieved Wang Jiayin and the rogues in Shaanxi.

Du Wenhuan, who urged Gao's army to send troops to Fugu three times in a row, no longer cared whether Gao's army participated in the Fugu battle, and began to be forced by the reputation of the left deputy capital censor, the right servant of the Ministry of War, the governor of Shaanxi Trilateral Military Affairs Yang He, Shaanxi Shenyikui, Shang Tens of thousands of people such as Tianlong came to Fu, but such a huge bandit was sent back to his hometown, many people embarked on the road of robbery and rebellion, and Yang He's Fu situation fell into a predicament.

In the next few months, Shaanxi civil and military officials argued endlessly about the main suppression, and finally the two sides went their separate ways. The internal friction gave the rebels a chance to breathe, and in November, the Shaanxi rebels took a turn for the better.

In November of the second year of Chongzhen, the Jianlu Huangtaiji army was divided into three groups. The Huangtaiji warlord invaded Longjingguan. Guided by Mongolian Kaerqintai Jiburgatu, they conquered Hongshan Pass. Zhang Ande was defeated and Zhang Wanchun surrendered. Partial division conquered Da'ankou, the general Zhou Zhen was killed in battle, and the army of Jianlu was assembled under the city of Zunhua.

On the fourth day of this month, Zhao, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, led his teaching staff to join the army. He marched to the Santun Camp in the east of Zunhua City. He saw the Jianlu soldiers surrounding Zhu Guoyan's troops in the Santun Camp like bees and ants. Relying on his loyalty and anger, he entered the Jianlu formation. Zhao led the teaching staff to charge left, right, east, and west, beheading many Jianlu banner soldiers. However, the number of soldiers became more and more. The less the less, who knows that Zhu Guoyan, the guard in the camp, was afraid that the soldiers would sneak in and close the camp gate, and refused Zhao led the teaching department to enter the three camps; Xiyao shouted: "The minister is exhausted!" He raised his sword across his neck, and immediately died for the country and the whole army.

Jianlu soldiers took advantage of the victory to attack Santun camp. Zhu Guoyan knew that he could not defend, so he committed suicide with his wife, Zhang Shi. The captives were destroyed, and the entire city was wiped out by the army and civilians. Governor Wang Yuanya, Baoding official Li Xianming, Yongping official He Tianqiu, Zunhua magistrate Xu Ze, former magistrate Wu Qiqian, etc. all died.

When the imperial court heard that Zunhua had fallen, they panicked. Cheng Jiming, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, asked Sun Chengzong, the former Liaodong strategist, to defend against the enemy. , and appointed Ji Ming as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and also a Bachelor of Dongge University, to participate in the maintenance.

Sun Chengzong was summoned to the emperor Chongzhen with Chen Fanglue, and then led 27 cavalry straight into Tongzhou City, and together with the governor of Baoding to explain the scriptures, Yang Guodong, the commander in chief, and others joined forces to resist Huang Taiji; Xuanfu King Qin's army flinched when they saw Jianlu, and Cao Wenzhao fought against Jianlu's forward. Soon, most of Xuanfu's army collapsed, and Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao led their headquarters to escape.

The unrelenting Huang Taiji broke through Jizhou, Sanhe, and Shunyi, and the Jianlu army drove directly to the city of Beijing. The capital's civil and military officials were full of earthquakes. At this time, Yuan Chonghuan was sent out of Shanhaiguan. The soldiers galloped to the lower camp of Desheng Gate and fought with Jianlu for half a day. The two sides were tied. The guards on the city fired cannons to cheer. Man Gui also suffered artillery wounds and retreated from the army.

Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to King Qin to send troops from all over the world to King Qin, and all the states in the world moved after hearing the news. Even Qin Liangyu, the envoy of Shijie Xuanfu who was far away in Sichuan, also generously swore an oath. Zhenlei stayed behind, and Xue Liu led Commander Luo, General Zhang Can, Liang Canjun, and Li Xiaoyong with 1 horse and infantry soldiers to King Jingqin.

Gao Guiying, who was just sticking to Mizhi, was fooled by Governor Yang He of the three sides and Governor Hu Tingyan of Shaanxi, and also moved to the idea of ​​King Qin of Jing. In fact, Gao Guiying's greatest wish was to go to the Xue Mansion in Beijing. The feeling of being in Xue's mansion, the daughter-in-law of Xue's family has never even entered Xue's mansion, Gao Guiying is really a little embarrassed.

At the end of November, Gao Guiying left his younger brother to garrison the Gaojiajunzhai. He led 4000 horse infantry including Ma Ming and entered Shanxi from Suidezhou. He passed through Jiangzhou and was attacked by Wang Dajun stationed in the city and Wupingguan Lei Batian and Wen Cunyang. Congratulations, Jiangzhou Li Zhizhou hosted a banquet in honor of Gao Guiying and Gao Jiajun. Gao Guiying ordered Gao Jiajun to rest in Jiangzhou City for a day. On the second day, [-] soldiers and [-] civilian husbands who joined Li Zhizhou's organization continued to march towards the capital.
