Daming pirates

The eunuchs next to them were all panic-stricken and at a loss, but they had a funny feeling in their hearts. Now that you, the old man, have been blocked in the palace by Yu Xiaotian, how can you order the world to fight against the traitors?

What? What we should consider now is self-protection! I’m afraid it’s not about how to ward off thieves!

Therefore, no one picked up Chongzhen's blame. Everyone stared at the memorial submitted by Yu Xiaotian, guessing what was written in the memorial.

In fact, Yu Xiaotian didn't write much at all in the so-called memorial he submitted to Chongzhen. He just defended himself in the memorial, expounding on the shortcomings of the ministers in the court and claiming that what he did was also

He was forced to make this decision for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.

He came to Beijing just to clear the emperor's side, but he had no intention of replacing him. His purpose was to revive the Ming Dynasty and for the sake of the country and the country of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty.

And he is now surrounding the palace just to protect the Holy Emperor and prevent the rebels in the city from taking advantage of the chaos to rush into the palace and endanger the lives and property of the Holy Emperor and other people in the palace.

After he stabilized the situation in the capital, he would personally plead guilty to the Holy Emperor. During this period, he also asked Chongzhen not to act without permission, and just stay in the palace and wait for news. As for the palace,

Whenever necessary during this period, he would send people to find ways to provide supplies to the palace, so that Chongzhen and everyone in the palace would not be wronged.

The reason why Chongzhen's first reaction after reading this memorial was to let out a long sigh of relief was because he now knew that at least Yu Xiaotian would not invade the palace to capture him within a short period of time.

, then during this period of time, he and the palace

The concubines and princes and princesses in front of him were at least safe and did not need to be prepared to commit suicide at any time. This was also a moment in the darkness, and he suddenly saw a glimmer of light. Even if this dawn was not real, it was still a kind of light.

comfort.

As for his subsequent rage, of course it was because Yu Xiaotian had completely ignored him by doing this, and it was clear that he was blackmailing the emperor to order the princes and not give him any chance to rule the world again.

After reading the memorial, Chongzhen got angry and immediately ordered someone to draw up an edict. He scolded Yu Xiaotian, and ordered Yu Xiaotian to immediately rein in his rebellion, give up his rebellious behavior, lead his troops to withdraw from the capital, and wait for his fate.

Then he ordered Ma Rucheng to leave the palace and hand over his imperial edict to Yu Xiaotian. When Ma Rucheng heard this, he almost burst into tears on the spot. He was finally released from the rebels, but now it's good that the Holy Emperor actually wants to

He left the palace and went to the rebels to announce the decree, and he still angrily scolded Yu Xiaotian. Isn't this the same as asking him to die?

But even if Chongzhen has been blocked in the palace by the rebels, he is still the emperor after all, and his orders must still be carried out. If he expresses his stance not to go now, he will probably be furious on the spot.

He was ordered to be dragged out and beaten to death, so whether he wanted to or not, he still had to run this time.

So he had no choice but to move back to the Meridian Gate reluctantly with a sad face. After leaving the Meridian Gate and arriving at the Daming Gate, the Jin Yiwei slipped him down the palace wall in a big basket and sent him outside the palace.

In the middle of the night, Yu Xiaotian had just laid down to take a rest when he received news that reinforcements led by Yan Jizu from Shandong Province had arrived in Tongzhou before dark last night and had now joined forces with the Yu family army who had stayed behind in Tongzhou.

After fighting, the fighting between the two sides was quite fierce.

After hearing the news, Yu Xiaotian was slightly surprised. He did not expect that Yan Jizu would arrive so quickly this time. Originally, he expected that the official and military reinforcements from Shandong led by Yan Jizu would arrive in Tongzhou in a few days at the earliest, but

This guy actually seemed to have taken the wrong medicine this time and traveled day and night to reach Tongzhou so much ahead of schedule.

Tongzhou is a very important place for him. There is a lot of captured grain and various materials stored there. If there is any loss, it will seriously damage the morale of the Yu family army, and it will also cut off the route to Tianjin.

material transportation channels.

Moreover, there are very few main forces left behind in Tongzhou, only about one battalion. The remaining ten or so newly formed battalions currently have little combat effectiveness, and their loyalty to him is also very low. Suddenly faced with three

Yu Xiaotian was unsure about the attack of forty thousand soldiers.

When he learned the news, his sleepiness suddenly disappeared. After thinking about it, he immediately sent an order to Li Tong, commander of the 9th Brigade, asking him to leave an infantry battalion outside the city to guard the main camp outside the city, and the rest.

His subordinates, led by him, immediately set off overnight to rush back to Tongzhou City to resist the Shandong soldiers and horses.

As for the officers and soldiers in Shandong, Yu Xiaotian knew their combat prowess very well. They definitely belonged to the Five Zhans among the Five Zhans. Now they were only under the command of Yan Jizu, with a hint of bloody courage. They seemed to

They are very fierce, but as long as you give them a head-on blow and hit them hard, they will collapse immediately.

Although the Ninth Brigade returned to Tongzhou in a state of dissatisfaction, Yu Xiaotian believed that these troops were enough for them. If the Ninth Brigade could not even do this, then the brigade commander Li Tong did not need to do it.

.

As for the capital, the remaining four brigades and two cavalry battalions are enough. After a day of attacking and fighting in the city today, it seems that there are many officers and soldiers in the city, but the only ones with some real combat effectiveness are those under Yang Guozhu.

A group of Xuan Da soldiers and horses, but other

Most of them have surrendered to the Yu Jiajun with Gao Minghu today, and the rest have been routed. Including Yang Guozhu himself, they have all disappeared by now. It is estimated that they either escaped from the capital or are now hiding in the capital.

Where it was hit, it has not been found yet.

In addition, there are only those generals from the Beijing camp under Zhou Yuji. However, with the fierce fighting around the Meridian Gate this afternoon, their entire army has been wiped out. Zhou Yuji himself has also been captured by him. Now

Nowadays, there is no official army in the capital with strong combat effectiveness that can pose a sufficient threat to his Yu family army.

Although the troops are relatively scattered, making it difficult to temporarily control the entire city, as long as he has two battalions of mobile troops in hand, he believes that tomorrow will be enough to basically drive out the remaining officers and soldiers in the city. As for clearing out the remaining officers and soldiers in the city,

, he thinks this matter is not a big problem.

After Yu Xiaotian thought it over, he ordered the Ninth Brigade to immediately return to Tongzhou to help repulse the official reinforcements led by Yan Jizu from Shandong Province. After hearing the order, Li Tong, without saying a word, immediately called the resting soldiers and generals.

He got up and conveyed Yu Xiaotian's order. Before dawn, the whole army set off and rushed towards Tongzhou City at a rapid march.

There is actually a reason why Yan Jizu came so quickly this time. As the governor of Shandong, he was the first person responsible for guarding Shandong. Because of Yang Sichang's misjudgment, he ordered him to concentrate his troops on De.

In the area of ​​​​Zhouzhou, they intercepted the slave-building army from entering Shandong. Unexpectedly, the slave-building army actually used a wooden warehouse to attack from the east and west, bypassing the defense line of the Shandong Army in Dezhou and leading from Linqing into the hinterland of Shandong.

In order to intercept the slave-building army, Yan Jizu almost evacuated most of the troops in Shandong. Basically, there were not many defenders left in Jinan Prefecture. As a result, Jinan Prefecture was defeated by the slave-building army. The German King Zhu Youshu and the Fengguo General Zhu Enshou all

He was kidnapped by the slave-building army and disappeared. A large number of people in Jinan Prefecture were massacred.

When Yan Jizu heard the news, he almost vomited a mouthful of old blood on the spot, and was so scared that he almost wet his pants. He knew that he was in big trouble. As the governor of Shandong, his home in Jinan Prefecture was raided by the slave-building army, including the emperor's relatives and the country's relatives.

Let's go, this is really a big deal!

Even if he led the army to Dezhou to defend against the enemy this time, he was acting on the orders of Yang Sichang, but he was the first person responsible. The responsibility for the loss of Jinan Mansion and the loss of King De could only be borne by him. Now the court

I didn't bother talking about him, but after the slave-building army came out of seclusion, they would definitely have to talk to him about it.

Therefore, Yan Jizu knew in his heart that he was finished. If he couldn't save his head, he might have to move this time. Even if he spent all his energy and exercised, he probably wouldn't be much better.

So Yan Jizu was heartbroken and returned to Jinan Mansion to clean up the mess. At the same time, he was waiting for the imperial cavalry to break in at any time and arrest him and send him to Beijing for investigation.

But what he didn't expect was that things suddenly changed significantly after he returned to Jinan Prefecture. He suddenly heard that Yu Xiaotian, the commander-in-chief of Fujian Province, brazenly led his troops to sail north from Fujian shortly after the fall of Jinan Prefecture.

It went straight to Tianjin Wei, blocking the way for the Jiannu army to return north.

Based on Yan Jizu's understanding of the current situation, he must have had an ominous premonition. Yu Xiaotian's move was probably because the drunkard was not interested in drinking, and he might have come to start a rebellion.

But a series of news that came from Tianjin Wei to Shandong made Yan Jizu completely confused. According to his guess, Yu Xiaotian might have taken advantage of the chaos in the north to raise troops to rebel. But then Yu Xiaotian did not follow

Tianjin Wei advanced towards the capital, but led the army to block Jiannu's way back to the north.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Jiajun launched a life-and-death showdown with Jiannu in the Tianjin Wei area. What surprised everyone was that Yu Jiajun was not killed by Jiannu in one fell swoop. Instead, a hundred thousand Jiannu army actually came to Yu Jiajun.

Before the front line of the family army, they were severely defeated and even Dorgon was beheaded.

Yan Jizu couldn't understand it. According to what Yu Xiaotian did, he should be a loyal minister. When the court was in danger, he risked his life to resist the decree and lead the troops north to fight against the invaders. This is what a loyal person would do.

matter.

How could Yan Jizu not know how powerful the Jiannu army was? However, Yu Xiaotian led his lone army to the north. Without any help from the court or the cooperation and support from other officials and soldiers, Yu Jiannu's lone army fought hard and finally defeated the Jiannu army.

It is not easy to defeat this fact.

However, the court's attitude towards Yu Xiaotian made Yan Jizu feel a little chilled. The court saw Yu Xiaotian fighting alone and refused to support him. It also tried to coordinate the slave army to destroy Yu Xiaotian's troops. This was done in a practical way.

It's heart-breaking.

(I haven’t been in bed for a few days. My daughter’s condition is not optimistic. She has an intestinal infarction. She hasn’t had a drop of water for three days. She is not allowed to eat anything. She is not even allowed to drink water. Her face is sallow. It makes me miserable! My mood is very pitiful.

Very bad, hope it improves as soon as possible!

By the way, I would like to thank Yizuuren, Xiaoxiaochunfeng, Yingzhiwu, eastflowing and other old friends for their tips! I will find a way to keep updating!)
