The sword flashed, and Wu Weihua lost his life unwillingly.
"Kill them all——"
Seeing the panicked servants, Jiang Yan was furious and growled.
After leaving the Wu Mansion, Jiang Yu was full of momentum and filled with murderous intent.
After a while, his younger brother Jiang Wu came to report that Datong City had been controlled.
"good!"
Jiang Gan roared, and immediately came to the school grounds, had someone tear open the Ming Dynasty flag, and said righteously:
"According to the imperial edict of the Ming Emperor, I will rebel against the Qing Dynasty, restore the Ming Dynasty, and return to orthodoxy today. Do you have any objections?"
Therefore, he added fuel to the fire and described the Battle of Huai'an as saying that the Manchus were defeated by hundreds of thousands, Shandong could not be defended, and the destruction of Beijing was just a matter of course.
"Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live the Ming Dynasty——"
Everyone in the Datong army was his confidant. Even the Manchu Qing Dynasty was extremely wary and did not dare to mobilize him easily. Naturally, no one opposed him.
For a moment, many soldiers raised their arms and cheered, but they could not tell the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.
"In this way, it's time to cut off the braid and change the banner."
In front of everyone, Jiang Yan shook his head, showing his ugly rat tail in front of everyone, then picked up the scissors and made a "click" without hesitation.
broken.
Half a foot long, his braided hair that had been with him for two or three years fell into the soil.
At this time, the generals in the army could only bite the bullet and cut off the braids behind them one by one.
After that, it's just ordinary soldiers.
Just cutting off the braids took half a day.
Jiang Yan looked at the braids, feeling inexplicably reluctant to let go.
After all, my body and skin were affected by my parents, and when it ends suddenly, I feel empty in my heart.
"Kill the clear dog!"
Their round heads feel cold in winter, but everyone is full of energy and enthusiasm.
That's right, Jiang Quan asked his servants to withdraw 50,000 taels of silver from the treasury, and all of them were rewarded to the soldiers.
Slogans alone are not effective, there are still benefits.
Especially the frontier troops in the late Ming Dynasty were in a situation where they recognized money but not people.
Of course, this was also forced by the imperial court. He had owed border money for more than ten years and sold his children and daughters to starve into the army. No matter how much loyalty he had, he would disappear.
At this time, the entire army had been completely dragged into the water, and Jiang Yu was fearless.
He had already sent soldiers and horses to surround the Shanxi Governor's Mansion, which became his stepping stone.
The governor of Shanxi at this time was Shen Chaoji, who was from Liaodong and belonged to the Xianglan Banner of the Han Army. He had 300 Fubiao men under his command, who were determined to resist to the death.
"Bah! It's just a lackey of Jiannu who works so hard for his life."
With the intention to die, Shen Chaoji had exhausted his old life. He was originally just a civil servant, but his backbone made Jiang Yu quite unhappy.
Helplessly, he sent people to attack Wu Weihua's army of more than a thousand people.
In this way, after another half day, Shen Chaojichu was smoked into a human being and died.
The huge Datong City was captured by him.
However, Jiang Quan also knew that Datong was under the jurisdiction of Governor Xuanda and that it was the western gateway to Beijing. The Manchu Qing Dynasty would never give up easily.
Sitting in Datong and waiting for death was not Jiang Yu's style. He immediately decided to dispatch his generals to attack the area south of Datong.
Especially Taiyuan, once captured, the entire province of Shanxi will be in our hands.
"Liu Qian, give you five thousand men to occupy Yanmen Pass, attack Daizhou, and intimidate Taiyuan——"
"If you do well, I will personally ask the emperor for credit for you."
"General, I will obey your order!" Liu Qian, the tiger-backed general, was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly agreed.
After he left, Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Second brother, can you do it?"
The eldest brother Jiang Lin looked solemn.
"Don't worry, brother, I've already made it and am fully prepared."
Jiang Yan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I have been angry for two or three years in Datong. Today I want to take it back."
Jiang Yu is not aimless.
Following his actions and letters, the first person to respond was Datong Mansion.
With one move, he sent a message to Anguan, and the Shuo and Hun areas were all attacked. All eleven nearby cities rebelled, and Datong Prefecture changed hands in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, the whole of Shanxi was boiling.
Liu Wei, the commander-in-chief of the green battalion stationed in Ningwuguan (Shanxi Town), immediately raised his troops and changed his banner, attracting Taiyuan's attention.
Liu Qian took the opportunity to go south, and in just two or three days, he crossed Yanmen Pass, captured the outer city of Xidaicheng, and surrounded the inner city.
Immediately, Yao An, the leader of the rebels in Shuozhou, raised troops to plunder prefectures and counties in the name of Zhengshuo of the Ming Dynasty, and swept the entire Shuozhou in an instant.
At this time, the news spread to northwest Shanxi, Piantou Pass.
Piantou Pass is not famous in Shanxi. Historically, it was under the jurisdiction of Zhejia Prefecture in the Northern Song Dynasty and was located on the line of the Great Wall.
If there is any famous figure in this dynasty, it is none other than Wan Shide, a famous minister of the Wanli Dynasty who once led troops into the dynasty to fight against the Japanese.
He was originally from a military family, but he became a civil servant, then a military officer, guarding the frontiers many times, and finally he became the minister of the Ministry of War and the governor-general of Xuan Dynasty.
In the Wan Family House, the eldest grandson Wan Lian, although he was well-read in poetry and books, also learned martial arts. Hearing that his elders had changed, he was immediately happy:
"Da Ming is back."
Therefore, he used his grandfather and Wan's family's border military connections to sweep through Pianguan, Baode, Hequ and other prefectures and counties in a few days.
When he was sharpening his sword and heading south, he was greeted by tens of thousands of soldiers covered in dust.
"What are you doing in Shanxi?"
Wan Lian frowned, not believing the so-called Ming Dynasty messenger in front of him.
The messenger did not give in, he raised his head and said: "I have military orders to preach the Ming Dynasty's orders to you. If you surrender early, the imperial court will not be stingy with officials and titles."
"Hmph, I advise you not to go astray. Behind me is an army of 100,000 people. It is more than enough to crush your Baodezhou."
"Ming army?"
Wan Lian took a closer look and saw that the man in front of him was indeed a Ming army soldier, but what was the red scarf around his neck?
"Why is that red scarf around your neck?"
"This is the bloody scarf stained by thousands of loyal ministers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."
The messenger was not afraid, but he said proudly: "This is set up by His Majesty himself to boost the morale of our Ming Dynasty."
"What a strong man!"
Wan Lian was so happy that he quickly dismounted his horse and laughed: "This is really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. One family cannot recognize the other."
"I have changed my flag, cut my hair, and Baode and other counties have returned to the Ming Dynasty."
As he said this, he was still afraid that they would not believe him, so he let the soldiers behind him reveal their bare heads, and the dirty rat braid was indeed gone.
Immediately, the two armies joined forces.
You Shide was in a good mood after meeting Wan Lian, a loyal and good person, but when he heard what he said about Datong Zhibian, his face was filled with astonishment.
"Why doesn't this Jiang Yu behave according to common sense?"
"Isn't it the same for you?" Liu Tingjie asked.
It turned out that their group was going directly to Datong to join forces with Jiang Quan along the Great Wall.
But halfway through, You Shide felt it was inappropriate. Wasn't all the credit taken away by Jiang Yu?
Therefore, he thought, it would be better to take the opportunity to attack Taiyuan directly. The two armies in northern Shanxi and central Shanxi would cooperate with each other, and it would be easy to regain the whole Jin.
