After Zhu Hengjia ordered Li Mingzhong's troops to besiege Jinan, he led an army of 90,000 to Beijing. On this day, he arrived at Daming Mansion in North Zhili.
This city was once the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. "Water Margin" said of this city: "The city is on a high ground and dangerous, with wide and deep trenches." "The drum tower is majestic."
"Zolin Palace Brahma", "Thousands of fierce generals dominate the city, and millions of civilians live in the country"?? In short, the city is very big, with both an "outer city" and an "palace city". The outer city has a circumference of 48 miles.
.
The prefect is very sensible and has been demoted.
Zhu Hengjia was in a good mood after winning the majestic city without a fight, so he went to visit the thousand-year-old city wall. However, he saw that the city was high, the pond was deep, majestic, and there were rivers, wild trees, and fields outside the city. He felt that time is fleeting, and heroes are heroes.
I am already old. I can't help but sigh and say: "Driving out of Guoguo, the wild scenery makes me feel my age. The river is still and the water is still frozen, and the ground is cold and the forest has no flowers. The soft wind breaks the willows, and the remaining snow is hidden in the empty sand. I miss the vastness of the southeast, and return to fly to envy the dusk crows.
”.
"Good! Your Majesty's poems are so good! Just recite them casually, and the artistic conception will be profound. After listening to this, I couldn't help but be moved to tears." As soon as he finished reciting, someone behind him shouted loudly. When he looked closely, he saw that it was his confidant Hui.
View.
That day at the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang, before he even started writing, the man applauded him loudly. From then on, he rose to prominence and became a favorite of the emperor. Now that Emperor Guangwu is reciting poems again, why should Hui not applaud loudly?
On the contrary, Emperor Guangwu turned into a red face. Otherwise, the poem was not his work, but was written by Qiang Zhi, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty.
"Ahem, Hui Qing, this song "Out of Daming Mansion Beiguo" was not written by me, but by Qiangzhi.
There was a certain person named Shu Kehui who had a face as thick as the city wall. Not only was he not ashamed after hearing it, but he also spoke eloquently: "Although this poem was written by a powerful person, it was sung by your royal voice. The royal voice was high-pitched, with the faint sound of dragons and tigers.
So I shed tears when I heard it. If it is so strong that I can sing it, I will not be moved by it!"
Wearing thousands of clothes but not wearing flattery, Zhu Hengjia looks happy.
The more Gai is the hero, the more insidious, hypocritical, cruel and cruel. He only has power, no family and friendship, and is truly a loner! He is most lonely, and needs someone to flatter him and fill the emptiness in his heart. Hui Zhiguan just meets the spiritual needs of the emperor.
One likes to shoot, the other wants to shoot, everyone is happy.
Amused by Hui Zhiguan, Zhu Hengjia suddenly became passionate and said, "This poem by Qiangzhi is full of sadness and sorrow. It's more girlish and less heroic. It's not good. Let me write one too."
Swipe, swipe, swipe, and in a moment, the song "Northern Expedition Passes Daming Mansion" is written.
Divination of the famous city of Wei,
The soul of the shining capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The imperial capital locks the key to the river,
Hero's Elegy North Gate.
Hu Qi pulls the horse and Xiu Nanmu,
Guangwu Zhongxing wants to march north.
Since ancient times, no hero has ever died.
Lingyan Pavilion comforts your life.
"Okay", all around, the officials cheered.
??
After writing the poem, Zhu Hengjia was in great spirits. He returned to the military camp and discussed the military affairs with advisers such as He Wuzuo, Zheng Feng, Huang Zongxi, Liu Maoxia and others.
There are serious differences of opinion.
He Wuchu, Zheng Feng, and Huang Zongxi advocated a steady attack. They first went west and captured the three prefectures of Weihui, Zhangde, and Huaiqing in Henan Province north of the Yellow River;
Join forces in Shanxi; finally join forces together and capture Beijing with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai. This method is safer because it is safer, but it takes a lot of time.
However, Liu Maoxia just thought that the Eight Banners of the Qing Army outside the Pass were fighting fiercely with General Yang Huai of Pingbei in Liaodong; the Qing Army within the Pass, the Yue Le Division was surrounded by Li Wenzhong in Jinan, Luotuo, and Li Yinzu Division were surrounded by Yan Zungao in Kaifeng. In fact, the area in North Zhili
It's very empty. We should go straight to Huanglong and capture Beijing in one fell swoop. This method is better than the speed, but it has the worry of going deep alone.
"Your Majesty, our army has the upper hand. There is no need to act on impulse and put the three armies in danger. Otherwise, the great cause of the Northern Expedition will be in danger of failure." He Wuzuo was so excited that his white beard was raised.
"Your Majesty, if you don't take advantage of the opportunity to capture Beijing and wait for the Mongolian Tatars outside the border to come to help, you will miss the opportunity. The war has dragged on for too long, and the people in the north are suffering." Liu Maoxia insisted on his opinion.
Zhu Hengjia actually agreed with Liu Maoxia's opinion. It was not that he was afraid that the war would drag on for a long time and the people would suffer, but that after several big battles, the treasury would soon run out of money. The Northern Expedition could not be delayed.
"Okay, don't argue anymore. What you all said makes sense. What I want to do is to take all of Henan first, capture the three prefectures of Weihui, Zhangde and Huaiqing, and then make it look like we are marching westward to Shanxi."
This is the cunningness of Emperor Guangwu. He clearly wanted to invade Beijing, but first made a move to march westward to Shanxi to confuse the Qing army.
The battle to advance westward was fought smoothly.
The elite green battalions of Wei Hui, Zhangde, and Huaiqing had already been transferred south, leaving only some local garrison camps. The Ming Dynasty pioneer Pucheng Bo Ma Bao and the deputy pioneer Jing Keqin led an army of 20,000, and they were like a broken bamboo, killing the Qing prefect Wei Hui
Li Changzuo and Lu Song, the prefect of Zhangde, captured Weihui and Zhangde, and Huaiqing surrendered without a fight.

"Alas! It's not easy for me to hang around this year. There are Ming troops on both the east and west roads," Ma Mingpei, the governor of Xuanda in his fifties from Yanghewei, Shanxi, wailed.
This is a legendary figure, a legend from slave to governor.
He is from Liaoyang. In the first year of the Ming Dynasty (1621), Nurhachi captured Liaoyang and was captured by the Qing army as a slave. Because his ancestor Ma Ying served as the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, he was also considered a son of an official. He studied in childhood and had good fortune.
After only a few years of being a slave, Huang Taiji came to power and reused educated Han people. Seeing that he was smart and educated, he was promoted step by step and incorporated into the Han Army with a red flag, and he reached the rank of Governor-General Xuanda.
This is a senior traitor who served as an official in the same year as Luo Xiujin, Governor of Qinghuguang.
Ordinarily, the Manchu Qing Dynasty caused his family to be ruined, and he should be resentful of the Qing court in his heart. No, he always remembered Huang Taiji's kindness in his heart, and was loyal to Emperor Shunzhi. Also, the descendant of a small official has no master.
How can he reach the high position of governor with his cultivation? Of course he wants to repay his kindness.
Since Governor Ma wanted to be loyal to the Qing government, he naturally wanted to fight to the death. He ordered General Liu Wu to lead 20,000 Datong green battalions to station in Pingyang Mansion to resist Fan Youxian; he ordered deputy generals Chen Yuan and Zhang Enda to each lead 10,000 Xuanfu green battalions to station in Lu.
Anfu and Zezhou resisted Emperor Guangwu; they then rushed to ask Emperor Shunzhi for help.
Emperor Shunzhi heard that the Ming army wanted to join forces in Shanxi. He was shocked and ordered the second-class Ashanihafan and Angbangzhangjing Guarjia Bashan to lead seven thousand Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners to rush to Shanxi day and night. He also ordered to return.
Huacheng General Dong E·E Shuo recruited Mongolian soldiers from the Ulanqab League and immediately rushed to the aid of Shanxi.
Zhu Hengjia, who had just arrived in Zhangde Prefecture, Henan, heard that the Qing troops from Shanxi were gathering in Lu'an Prefecture and Zezhou. After a group of Qing troops from North Zhili were transferred to Shanxi, he was so proud that he looked up to the sky and laughed.
The captives fell into my trap!
"After the order is passed, the army will immediately turn around and go north to capture Guangping Mansion in Beizhili. Tell Ma Bao and Jing Keqin that within three days, the Ming Dynasty's military flag must be planted on the top of Yongnian City." In Panlong's tent, the great emperor said fiercely
Military orders were issued underground.
