Zhou Shimin, Zhu Long, and He Huan gathered more than ten thousand people to capture Suide in the east, Anding in the south, and Mizhi in the north, creating a great momentum.
Then, Zhu Long received the surrender of his friend Sun Chongya, the counselor of Shenmu County, and led his troops directly to the gate of Shenmu City. Sun Chongya opened the city gate, and the rebel army entered the city and killed Yang Sanzhi of Shenmu Road in the Qing Dynasty. Sun Shiyu, the county magistrate, guarded Zhang Guangdou Zhu
Captive officer.
The urgent military report floated like snowflakes to Fushi County, Yan'an Prefecture. Feng Shengzhao, the governor of Yansui, was pacing back and forth in panic all day long. He wanted to send troops to suppress it, but there were no troops, and most of the elite troops were transferred to Hanzhong; just sit back and ignore it, sooner or later it would be over.
Give it to Skincare.
"Alas", I kept sighing.
"Don't worry about Futai. Deputy General Xu Zhankui of Pingyang has been ordered to reinforce Hanzhong. He has just arrived in Yanzhou. You can ask him to postpone his march south and go to Yulin to guard first to curb the thieves. Then ask General Fu Kachan of Xi'an and Governor Ma Mingpei of Xuan for help." Staff
Make suggestions.
"Yes, how could I have forgotten these Shanxi soldiers and horses?" Feng Shengzhao slapped his thigh and immediately went to Yanzhou to beg Xu Zhankui.
Xu Zhankui was a native of Pucheng, Shaanxi, and lived in Liaodong. He surrendered to the Qing Dynasty very early. In the second year of Shunzhi, he followed Duoduo to the south to attack the Ming Dynasty. Later, he participated in suppressing the rebel armies of the "King of Qin" and "King of Wei", and his hands were stained with the sacrifices of martyrs.
Xue Xue was awarded the title of Deputy General Pingyang for his merit. His five thousand soldiers and horses were considered capable of fighting in Shanxi Green Camp.
Feng Shengzhao found Xu Zhankui, and when Xu Zhankui heard about it, he fell into what he wanted. Fan Youxian and Li Dingguo were famous. If he went to Hanzhong, he might be wiped out. He might as well go to Yulin, where the thieves would not be difficult to deal with.<
/p>
I agreed in my heart, but there was a look of embarrassment on my face, "The general has received a military order to go south to Hanzhong."
Feng Shengzhao hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Lieutenant General Xu, I will explain it to the court."
"Oh", Xu Zhankui said "um" and "ah" twice, but didn't let go.
Feng Shengzhao gritted his teeth and said, "If Lieutenant General Xu is willing to go to Yulin to guard, I am willing to provide 50,000 taels of silver to labor the army, and to meet the grain, fodder and military needs, everything will be enough."
Upon hearing the offer of fifty thousand taels of silver, Xu Zhankui responded happily and led his army to Yulin.
Hurry and hurry, Yulin City has arrived.
"Commander, look, why is Yulin flying the flag of false Ming Dynasty?" General Zhang Guoyan reported.
Xu Zhankui took a look, and sure enough, there was a sun and moon flag flying at the top of the city. However, it only flew for a while, and was soon replaced by the flag of Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camp.
"Bang", the thick and heavy city gate opened. Yulin County Magistrate and the garrison came out of the city in dejection. The pigtails on the back of their heads were actually glued on. Seeing the strength of the rebel army, they cut off their pigtails and prepared to return to the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly,
It turned out to be the Qing army, so I had to change it to the Qing army flag.
"I respectfully welcome Master Wang," the magistrate said respectfully.
"You are so bold, you actually dare to fly the flag of hypocrisy", Xu Zhankui was furious.
The county magistrate of Yulin turned out to be a courageous person, "I reported to the deputy Rong that the official's change of flag was a false surrender, a temporary measure to protect Yulin. Please ask the deputy Rong to follow the official into the city, and the official will explain it to the deputy Rong in a serious manner.
”.
Having been in the officialdom for so many years, he naturally knows what "explaining carefully" means. Xu Zhankui snorted from his nose, "If you can't explain clearly, I will punish you severely."
Upon hearing this, the magistrate of Yulin exchanged the three thousand taels of silver he had secretly prepared for five thousand taels.
??
Zhu Long and Zhou Shimin's army came. There were many hungry people in Shaanxi. They responded to the call and the number of the rebels had grown to more than 20,000. They even defeated Jian'an Fort, Shuangshan Fort, Changle Fort, and soon the Thirty-Six Forts of Yansui were defeated.
, surrounding Yulin with water and water.
Yulin City is surrounded by Tuoshan Mountain in the east, Yuyang River in the south, Yuxi River in the west, and Hongshan Mountain in the north. It is close to the mountains and rivers, with dragons and tigers dominating. It has an extraordinary momentum. Because it is the safety barrier of Beijing, the Ming Dynasty once "expanded Yu three times"
"Yang", build the city into a strong and majestic one.
Xu Zhankui ordered General Zhang Guoyan to guard Weiningmen and Zhenwumen in the east; General Sun Weitong and guerrilla Miao Chenglong guarded Guangyumen, Xuanwumen, Longdemen and Xinlemen in the west; guerrilla Xie Hongru guarded Zhenyuanmen in the south.
; He was stationed at Zhenbei Tower in the middle; as for the north, because he had to guard against the Mongols, he did not open a city gate and ordered guerrilla Qian Yinglong to defend it.
The city was strong and deep, and the defenders were capable of fighting. The rebels attacked the city for three consecutive days without defeat.
"As the deputy general, Yulin City is strong, it is better to surround it with troops and divide the troops to capture Jiazhou." Sun Chongya suggested to Zhu Long. Among the leaders of the rebel army, Zhu Long accepted the post of deputy general of Dingbian in the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Long was elected as the leader.<
/p>
"Brother Sun Xian's words make sense." Zhu Long ordered Zhou Shiming, Sun Chongya, and Feng Yun's rebel troops to march eastward, aiming directly at Jiazhou; he led 10,000 troops to surround Yulin.
Jiazhou is close to the Jiahe River and is not easy to fight. It is a mountain city built on the top of the hanging stone peak. The city corridor is divided into two levels, the inner and outer, and has twelve city gates.
In the east city, Feng Yun attacked again and withdrew; in the south city, Sun Chongya also looked at the city and sighed.
In the North City, Jingbian hero Zhou Shimin showed his true strength. The hero's donkey temper got worse and he died. Braving arrows and stones, he personally led his troops to the city and first broke through Zhenyuan Gate, the north gate of the outer city, and then Yangwu Gate, the north gate of the inner city.
.Suffering an arrow wound during the fierce battle, he still led his troops to fight hard and made great contributions to the rebel army's rapid occupation of Jiazhou.
Jiazhou is located at the junction of Shaanxi and Shanxi. From here, Shanxi was shaken. Ma Mingpei, the governor of Xuanda, was frightened and frightened. He urgently ordered Biliktu, the deputy capital of Mongolia of Zhenglan Banner, to lead three thousand Mongolian eight banners to defend Pingyang, and Zhenglan Banner of Manchuria.
Melezhangjing Yirgengyeluo Hazan led three thousand troops to guard Linxian County opposite Jiazhou. These troops were originally going to be transferred to Hanzhong, but now they dare not move and are carefully guarding the Shanxi-Shaanxi border. p>
In the battle of Jiazhou, Zhou Shimin displayed great authority. Heroes and martyrs continued to come to join him, and he added thousands of soldiers and horses. Sun Chongya and Feng Yun were both willing to obey his orders, and they seemed to have the qualifications to be on an equal footing with Zhu Long.
Everyone thought that the rebel army would continue to the east and enter Shanxi. Unexpectedly, Zhou Shimin went west and returned to Jialin. According to him, when the army gathers, it will be strong. He wanted to join forces with Zhu Long and attack Yulin.
The second Battle of Yulin was extremely brutal. The rebels scaled the city wall several times, but were driven back by the Qing army. Dead bodies were everywhere inside and outside the wall. General Feng Yun of the Ming Dynasty and Sun Weitong, a general of the Qing Dynasty, died on the city walls.
In the end, Xu Zhankui personally led the sword team to the city and fought to the death, and then managed to hold on to the city.
"Fu Rong, this Yulin City is too strong. Since our army has captured Anding, it is better to go south directly from Anding and capture Fushi," Zhou Shimin suggested to Zhu Long.
"Fushi is governed by the Yan'an Prefecture. With Feng Shengzhao, the governor of Yansui in the Qing Dynasty, under the supervision of Feng Shengzhao, I'm afraid it won't be easy to fight." Zhu Long frowned.
"The general is willing to lead his 10,000 troops southward," Zhou Shimin asked loudly.
"In this case, be careful, dear brother." Zhu Long couldn't defeat him, so he had to let him.
Fushi is a city and a poor person. Master Zhao's father destroyed Zhongshan and moved Prince Fushi of Zhongshan here.
The poor man was not only one of them, but also Feng Shengzhao, the governor of Yansui in the Qing Dynasty. He was originally the governor of Xuanfu. When he was transferred to Yansui, he encountered the Great Uprising in Northern Shaanxi. It is said that he can governor Xuanda and Yansui, an important town like this.
The capability is definitely there. But the soldiers are few. There are only 2,000 Fubiao. Even if the garrison is added, it is only 3,000. What is even worse is that Xu Zhankui was given 50,000 taels not long ago, and the treasury is empty again. There is no choice.
We had no choice but to recruit another three thousand people to defend the city.
"Report to Futai, the bandits have crossed Yanshui and arrived at Fushi City." Upon hearing the news, Feng Shengzhao felt his scalp numb.
