Daming pirates

To be honest, this is also the first time that their army has faced off against the Jian Nu. The power of the Jian Nu army was rumored to be miraculous by the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty in the past. They said that the Jurchens were only invincible, but now Hou Jin can be regarded as a Jurchen.

The remnants, replaced by what Manchu people, are nothing but invincible.

This time they have to face an army of more than 100,000 slaves, but their strength is only about 30,000, and they have to seal off such a wide area to block the slaves here, so the generals don't feel relaxed.

.

After all, no one dared to be careless when they were going to fight against the slave-building army, which was rumored to be quite powerful at the time, so Yu Xiaotian's harsh words today could be considered as a warning to them in advance.

According to the marks on the map, the commanders of each brigade immediately went down to make arrangements after the pre-military meeting. The material storage area in the camp immediately became lively. Each brigade sent their troops to collect the required ammunition.

supplies, and before noon, the troops who were ordered to leave began to leave the camp.

The men and horses sent by the Fourth Brigade quickly arrived at the canal. They detained several canal boats resting on the dock and ordered the caoding and boatmen on the canal boats to take them to the canal immediately.

The canal was blocked on the river.

The canal of the Ming Dynasty is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, with its northern terminus in Tongzhou and its southern terminus in Yangzhou. This is the blood transfusion channel in the north of the Ming Dynasty. The north cannot be self-sufficient in food, so a large amount of food and taxes collected by the provinces must be transported from the south every year.

Transported to the capital.

During this period, the Jiannu invaded south and Shandong was ravaged by the Jiannu army. Water transportation on the canal was also forced to temporarily stop. Therefore, many people were stranded in the Tianjin Wei area after unloading their ships in Tongzhou and preparing to go south along the river.

Watership.

Caoding on these canal boats had already learned that the Yu Jiajun suddenly landed at Dagukou and surrounded Tianjin Wei. Some boatmen on the canal boats fled after hearing the news, fearing that they would be involved in this incident.

There are rumors everywhere on the canal that Yu Xiaotian led his army to Tianjin to defend this time, not to ask for the Qin King as they said. Many people said that Yu Xiaotian came to rebel this time and took advantage of the opportunity of the slaves to join the invaders.

, directly attack the capital of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Yu Jiajun are rebels. When the rebels get here, they will definitely fight with the government troops. These canal canal boats are the ships of the Ming Dynasty. Caoding can also be regarded as the official personnel of the Ming Dynasty, and they will definitely not

It will be good.

Therefore, many boatmen Caoding on the canal boats fled after hearing the news. They didn't even want the boat. They hid for a while first.

But among the rumors, there is another voice, that is, some people say privately that Yu Xiaotian is really here to fight the slaves this time. Yu Xiaotian hates the slaves the most in his life. This time he heard that the slaves broke the barrier.

When the invaders invaded, the northern officials and troops were unable to defeat them, causing the Jiannu army to descend thousands of miles as if they were entering uninhabited territory, causing the Ming people in the north to lose their lives.

So when Yu Xiaotian heard about it, he was furious and cursed the incompetence of the imperial court and the incompetence of the officials and the army. So he risked his life and led his troops to set off from Fujian and traveled day and night for more than a month to get here.

I vowed to fight to the death with Jian Nu here.

Some people didn't believe it, so there were conflicts between the crews on the ships over this matter, and some people were beaten to the head with blood.

Sure enough, within two days, the troops of the Yu Jiajun arrived at the canal, began to block the canal, commandeered the canal boats, and issued a notice saying that they would block the slave army here and fight to the death with the canal army, and ordered the canal boats to be blocked.

The boatmen and caoding were sent to assist the Yu family army in the battle.

Moreover, the news was sent out very quickly, and soon spread far and wide. Everyone was doubtful of Jiajun's rhetoric.

At this time, the rumbling sound of cannons and the sound of firecrackers as dense as exploding beans suddenly came from the Tianjin Wei side.

Kong Dashan, who was ordered to attack Tianjin Wei, took action at this time.

After Kong Dashan received the order, he immediately ordered his troops and horses, dragged the cannons to the south gate of the Tianjin Acropolis, and once again issued an ultimatum to the defenders in the city, telling them to requisition the Acropolis and intercept the slave-building army here.

, ordered the city defenders to leave the city immediately and evacuate here, and the Yu family army promised not to harm them.

But how could the defenders dare to abandon their defenses and escape easily? In that case, even if they escaped and were held accountable by the court, it would be a death penalty. Therefore, the defenders ordered that they would never agree to Yu Xiaotian's request, and mobilized the defenders to board the city to guard the city.

The deputy is ready to fight to the end.

Seeing that the ultimatum was useless, Kong Dashan stopped being polite to them and immediately led his army to launch an attack on the South Gate.

There is nothing to say about the Yu Jiajun's tactics. The artillery bombarded them fiercely, the infantry rushed forward, approached the city wall, fired volleys of guns to suppress it, and the rest of the soldiers began to attack the city under the cover of artillery fire.

Where did the Tianjin Guards' defenders go through such a formation? They had just fired a few shots at the cannons on the top of the city, and then they were blown down by Yu's army's cannons and flew under the city wall.

Just as the defenders were about to fight for their lives on the city wall, rows of bullets were fired from below. As a result, more than a hundred defenders, including the defenders supervising the battle here, were cut to pieces in an instant.

It turned out that Kong Dashan was ready for a big battle, but what he didn't expect was that the officers and soldiers on Tianjin Guard's side were so unbearable. Not long after he launched the offensive, he killed and injured one or two hundred people.

The defenders and the officers and soldiers defending the city had begun to collapse. As soon as their ladders were erected on the city wall, news came from the north gate on the other side that a large number of defenders had opened the north gate and swarmed out of the city, abandoning the city and fleeing.

Originally, Kong Dashan thought that it would be good to be able to enter the city until the afternoon, but he did not expect that before noon, the defenders in the city had already abandoned the city and fled, leaving the entire acropolis to the Yu family army.

So the Yu Jiajun easily conquered the acropolis without paying basically any price, opened the south gate, and swarmed in.

In one afternoon, Kong Dashan completely eliminated the resisting officers and soldiers in the entire Tianjin Acropolis and brought the entire Tianjin Acropolis under control.

When it was not dark, the Yu Jiajun posted a notice to calm the people in the city, telling the residents who had not had time to escape that there was no need to be afraid. The Yu Jiajun were not slaves, and they were not like other officers and soldiers. As long as they obeyed the family

Under the control of the army, the Yu Jiajun will do no harm to the residents of the city.

They even captured a group of family members of soldiers and generals who had not had time to escape in the city. After screening, they released them home on the spot. After the whole city was under martial law, the Yu family army did not rush into anyone's house to rob, but instead went to the streets to rob them.

Sentries were set up and patrol teams were sent out to patrol the city. They also arrested and killed dozens of local scoundrels who took the opportunity to cause trouble in the city, completely stabilizing the situation in Tianjin Acropolis.

When the people in the city saw that the Yu family's army had strict military discipline, and it was indeed as they preached, and they basically did no harm to the people, they felt a little relieved.

After the Yu Jiajun entered the city, they only controlled some warehouses, barracks, offices, horse pens and other places in the city. Basically, they only posted some sentry posts in other places, and did not cause chaos in the city at all.

.

However, those officers and soldiers who escaped from the Acropolis did not fare well. After they defeated the Tianjin Guards, they tried to escape towards Tongzhou. However, not long after they escaped, they were blocked by a cavalry of the Yu Jiajun.

After cutting down a group of defeated soldiers, he

This group of defeated soldiers were surrounded and driven back to Tianjin Guards. They were all disarmed and temporarily disrupted and assigned to various ministries to serve as temporary coolies. As for the officers above the general banner, all of them were temporarily imprisoned and awaited

It will be disposed of separately after the war.

Therefore, in just one day, more than 3,000 defenders of the Tianjin Guard were declared disarmed by the Yu family's army, and the Tianjin Guard fell into the hands of Yu Xiaotian, becoming Yu Xiaotian's first bridgehead in the Gyeonggi area.

The Ming court has been paying close attention to Yu Jiajun's situation nervously. Every day, they send people to the Tianjin Wei area to inquire about information.

He was sent back to the capital and presented to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War did not stop and hurriedly sent it to the palace.

Chongzhen's hair has turned a lot whiter in the past few days. He is always worried about the sudden appearance of the rebels led by Yu Xiaotian at the gate of the capital. He has been awake almost day and night these days, watching the movements of the armies and forcing them to immediately

After rushing to the designated location, he temporarily put aside the matter of tracing Gao Qiqian's location.

Yang Sichang also smelled the danger. He was afraid that if things were not handled well this time, Chongzhen's old and new accounts would be settled together, so he kept an eye on the movements of various officers and soldiers day and night these days, and kept giving orders to mobilize troops and horses.

, blocking the way from Tianjin Wei to the capital.

The eunuch who announced the decree ran back to the capital and told Chongzhen what Yu Xiaotian said, but Chongzhen did not believe what Yu Xiaotian said at all. What nonsense did he come here to fight against the slaves? This guy was just here to rebel.

As for Yu Xiaotian's request for payment, he regarded it as a fart and didn't even consider it. He just held a group of ministers together every day to discuss how to destroy Yu Xiaotian.

In the next few days, the armies continued to go to the Tianjin Wei area to investigate the movements of Yu's army at night, but the news returned made Chongzhen and the ministers even more confused.

After the Yu family's army landed at Dagukou, they immediately attacked the Tianjin Guard. Then news came that Yu Xiaotian's soldiers and horses had captured the Tianjin Guard. At this time, the government and the public were scolding Xiaotian, and they believed in Yu Xiaotian even more.

Tianjin was about to start a rebellion. Otherwise, why would he have defeated Tianjin Wei as soon as he arrived?

As a result, all kinds of curses were heard in the capital, and calls for the imperial court to send troops to exterminate him became even louder. For a time, there was an uproar in the capital.

But the news that was sent back from the Tianjin Wei area surprised everyone. According to common sense, since Yu Xiaotian led his troops to march straight into Tianjin by sea, then his purpose should be obvious, that is, to capture directly

The capital, captured the capital as quickly as possible, and directly took away the Ming Dynasty court.
