Chongzhen Undergraduates

The opportunity is here.

Even if Tongguan didn't have many defenders, Zhao Yinxuan didn't intend to take down Tongguan. He decided that Qiaozhuang's wounded soldiers would enter the pass in batches.

This is a change in tactical thinking.If you follow the command of ordinary officers, I am afraid that Tongguan will be captured, and then rely on Tongguan to cut off the Zhou army's retreat, and fight the Zhou army in Tongguan.

If you follow this line of thinking, then the nearly 5 Zhou troops who have already left Tongguan may fight with the [-]th Army under the city of Tongguan.In such a battle, Zhao Yinxuan felt that the [-]th Army might not find it cheap.

The entry into Tongguan was very smooth. Under the situation where the Zhou army was leaving the customs on a large scale, no one would suspect that a Ming army would enter the pass quietly. Most people would think that the Zhou army was attacking the Ming army.

"Deputy commander, where should we go to find the granary?" The Ming army who had already entered Tongguan was very excited, and everyone was tense, a little excited and anxious. This is because Monkey King got into the belly of Princess Iron Fan.

"I don't plan to burn the granary anymore." Zhao Yinxuan was very calm.

"Then what are we doing?" Several battalion commanders got together and asked.

"Do you dare to fight Xi'an with me?" Zhao Yinxuan said.

"Xi'an?" The leader's words startled the battalion commanders. Although they said that they entered Princess Iron Fan's stomach, you can't directly pierce the opponent's heart. Wouldn't that mean death?

"I thought Zhou Jun even sent the defenders of Tongguan to fight. I'm afraid Xi'an City has no soldiers to send." At this time, Zhao Yinxuan had no idea that Wu Sangui had just arrived in Lantian with [-] cavalry.

"Even if there are no soldiers, Xi'an is a big city, and we can't beat it if we just recruit some young and strong to defend the city." Some people objected, with good reasons.

"Why don't we go to the Tiandihui to ask about the situation first."

"Do you know how to contact Tiandihui?"

"I don't know."

The Tiandihui is a mysterious organization, and it cannot be contacted by anyone who wants to. Otherwise, Tiandihui would have been wiped out long ago.

"I'll try it."

Chapter 566: In front of the naked army in Xi'an City

It was Zhao Yinxuan who spoke. When he said this, he didn't know what to do, but in order to accomplish this, he made a promise.

From Tongguan to Xi'an, 250 miles away, Zhao Yinxuan did not dare to swagger through the market in broad daylight.Fortunately, the team of 2000 people is not big, and they are scattered into battalions.Whether it's pretending to be a wounded soldier or a refugee, those who walk fast and slow along the way have all gotten away with it.This is mainly due to the recent frequent deployment of troops on this road, which also makes the checkpoints along the way a decoration.

The passage of personnel is naturally fast, but the weapons and equipment carried with them are much more troublesome.Naturally, the speed of the overall march cannot be increased, and there are naturally many stories along the way.Similar to the embarrassing story of Zhao Yin choosing a beggar who was forcibly recruited by the Dazhou government to build roads in Lintong, and finally took a cart for free. After the war, it was emphasized countless times as a heroic deed, and it was compiled as the protagonist Zhi Zhi using the enemy's vehicles to march. The enemy army is stupid enough for such a drama.

It took Zhao Yinxuan and the others seven days and seven nights to walk the 200 miles, which can be described as a slow pace.

Xi'an is naturally a big city, but after many years of war, the scale of Xi'an is no longer what it used to be.In particular, Li Zicheng established his capital in Xi'an and lost Shaanxi. The population of Xi'an is now less than 30. 30 is the size of a county in later generations, but because Wu Sangui built the capital here again, plus seven or eighty-eight yamen, such a large city, a place with many yamen and a small population, you can hit it by spitting on the street an official.

Zhao Yinxuan was dressed in tattered beggar clothes, unkempt and unshaven, and had been strolling on Chang'an Avenue for most of the day.But for the legendary Tiandihui, he didn't even know which way the gate opened.

The big troops were naturally hiding outside the city, and the bragging Zhao Yinxuan brought two people into the city to cash in on his bragging rights.

"Boss Zhao, I've been wandering around for a long time. Where will the world be?" Xiao Liu, the guard beside Zhao Yinxuan, was a little impatient. He had already walked back and forth to the intersection in front of him three times, so he obviously went wrong.

Xi'an City is a rare square. If you turn right at an intersection, turn right and turn right again, you will return to the original place.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense, if you want you to go, just go!" another guard, Xiao Wang, said harshly.

However, Xiao Wang is from Jiangnan and speaks fluent Nanjing dialect.This kind of accent is very special in Xi'an, where the main migrant population is basically from the north, especially the Liaodong accent and Shaanxi dialect.

As soon as Zhao Yinxuan turned his head, he saw several pedestrians looking back at Xiao Wang, which was a bit ominous.But things weren't that bad. The passers-by stared at Xiao Wang for a while, but they all dispersed without suspicion.

What's the situation? Shouldn't people and strangers appear in serious hostile areas and should be reported directly to the government?If this is in the Beijing of later generations, I am afraid that the Beijing "aunt" will directly turn it over to the Public Security Bureau.

Zhao Yinxuan thought about the whole story carefully, and he suddenly thought of something, that is, when the north and the south were confronting each other, a large number of scholars from the south of the Yangtze River defected and went north.It is said that more than half of these people turned to Wu Sangui in the end.That is to say, in this city where Shaanxi dialect is thick, Jiangnan dialect is rare, but it is still common.

"Xiao Wang, go to the bun shop over there and buy some buns." Zhao Yinxuan called Xiao Wang aside, handed him a silver dollar, and then gave some careful instructions.

Xiao Wang came back with a pot helmet in a small cloth pocket, and said with a typical take-off smile on his face: "Boss Zhao, you don't know at all, this silver dollar is worth a lot in exchange for it." A big cart of steamed buns..."

"Did you find out what I asked you to inquire about?" Zhao Yin chose where to control the price of the buns.

"Yeah, it's clear. The owner of the steamed bun shop said that the Jiangnan people here are all officials. But they are all officials in the Qingshui Yamen, and the fat jobs are all Liaodong people. They’re all from Shaanxi.” Xiao Wang spoke in his Nanjing dialect, while looking at the big pot of helmeted buns in amazement.

"Qingshui Yamen, where are the Qingshui Yamen in Xi'an City?" Zhao Yinxuan probably knew what kind of officials these people were.

As mid-to-senior generals of the [-]th Army, they all had a military training class on Jiangjun Mountain for a period of time.The defection of a large number of scholars in the south of the Yangtze River was a very sensational event at the beginning. Zhu Youjian, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, not only did not stop him, but let him do his thing.One of the important reasons for this, Zhao Yinxuan should also be able to imagine, the emperor must have planted a large number of spies inside.

It is normal for Dorgon and Wu Sangui not to dare to reuse these people in large numbers, because these people themselves are not their cronies.But these so-called scholars who represent scholars cannot be killed directly. It is best to arrange them in unimportant departments that can save face.

Zhao Yinxuan's method was very bold and simple. He took Xiao Wang and changed his clothes, and then went directly to Qingshui Yamen to visit officials speaking fluent Nanjing dialect.

"The earth vibrates in Gaogang, and the streams and mountains are beautiful throughout the ages." Zhao Yinxuan's boldness directly made the Tiandihui people speechless. No member of the Tiandihui has ever openly used such an incision to face the enemy's yamen, but Zhao Yinxuan did it. This was done, and it really matched the code.

It can only be said that the gang of Jiangnan scholars who can be assigned to this kind of yamen are all mediocre.People like Hou Fangyu have already emerged.But the hidden piles of the Tiandihui will definitely not show up, so they also stayed in Qingshui Yamen.

"Deputy Master Zhao, how many of you are here?" That night, the head of the Shanxi branch of the Tiandihui was called Song Pan, a middle-aged man dressed as a very inconspicuous butler.

"Two thousand special forces members." Zhao Yinxuan felt that this kind of person was a bit weak, so he naturally had no confidence in speaking, and his voice was a bit low.

"Is the special soldier a subordinate of General Deng Zhirong, the emperor's favorite?" Song Pan asked quickly.

"We are the soldiers of the [-]th Army and Deng Zhirong's subordinates." Zhao Yinxuan was taken aback, he didn't know the difference.

"That's the imperial forest army of the emperor. Two thousand imperial forest troops are enough. People in Xi'an like to brag about the big Han imperial forest army. They say how powerful the Habayashi guards were back then. If it is said that the imperial forest army of the Ming army appeared, I'm afraid it will be one of them." Top ten." Song Pan's eyes lit up happily.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yinxuan was confused.

"This city of Xi'an is an empty city right now. There are less than 2000 guards left, and they have to defend such a large city. Especially the palace guards. After Wu Sangui took away a group of elite guards, there are less than [-] left. people."

"This is a god-sent opportunity. As long as we can capture the imperial palace, take down Wu Yingxiong, and then control several major yamen, the rest will be nothing to worry about."

"The people in Xi'an have long since stopped seeing Wu Sangui and the others. As long as this fire is lit, the hearts of the people will not follow them."

"There are also those defenders, most of whom are new troops recruited from Shaanxi, so they don't have any fighting power."

"I think so. Originally, we also wanted to do something, but the combat power was too weak. It's just right for you to come.

The main managers of the Tiandihui branch are also discussing.

"Using [-] Yulin soldiers to lead [-] young and strong members of the Tiandihui will be enough to take over the palace." Song Pan said with certainty.

"How did our army enter the city?" Zhao Yinxuan was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect the situation in Xi'an City to be like a big pie that fell from the sky, and it flew in front of him lightly, and a large group of people were still there. Help hold it for him, just waiting for him to bite down hard.

"It's a small matter. We control the dung trucks that enter the city every night. Every morning when the city gate is opened, all the gold juice will go out of the city and enter the city at night. It's no problem to bring 2000 of you in." Although Song Pan It's easy to say, but Zhao Yinxuan can tell that Tiandihui's tolerance these years is enough.

Chapter 567: Uncertainty lays the root of disaster

When Zhu Youjian arrived in Luoyang, the [-]th Army had just attacked with the whole army. He didn't know that the battle situation had already formed a one-sided advantage over Daming. He just thought of Luoyang's help because he was worried that Li Dingguo would be too busy alone.

Wu Yingxiong was arrested in Xi'an by the so-called Emperor's "Imperial Guards". The direct consequence of this incident was that officials and people in Shaanxi collectively defected.
