Chapter 19 Hou Jingxian in the chaos of the world
The result of the Battle of Mengjiazhuang spread to the capital a few days later.
It seemed that Fu Zonglong was still dead, and Sun Chuanting barely escaped with the help of Niu Chenghu who had fled to Xiangcheng.
The cavalry of Hu Dawei, Gao Jie, Li Guoqi, and Niu Chenghu are basically still there, but the infantry are almost wiped out.
Ten days later, the imperial court came with a decree. Sun Chuanting was escorted to Beijing, and his seat was replaced by Wang Qiao's era. History forced back on track with his strong inertia.
In the end, for the sake of the powerful Daxia Empire in the north, Sun Chuanting did not go to the imperial prison this time. However, in order to prevent Sun Chuanting from colluding with Sun Xiurong, the emperor transferred him to Nanjing to serve as the Minister of War.
However, fate doesn't seem to want to let him go.
Zhang Xianzhong, who was in Xiangyang, moved to Henan and was defeated by Zuo Liangyu again. In the end, he had to escape into Yinghuo Mountain District (Dabie Mountain) and jointly camped with the Fifth Camp of Gezuo.
At this time, around the Dabie Mountains, in the east and north, there were Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, Liu Liangzuo's three armies, and in the west, there was Zuo Liangyu's army with an army of 100,000, and to the south was the Yangtze River.
Originally, Zhang Xianzhong was in Fengyang Prefecture and could not get a good idea on the north bank of the Yangtze River. He defeated Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo one after another. After heavy losses, he had to return to Hubei, but now there are variables again.
Zhou Yuji.
At this time, Zhou Yuji's command not only included the two thousand elite cavalry that had been picked up from the Beijing camp, but also 3,000 Subudi Kalaqin cavalry. The one who commanded this cavalry was the second son of Subudi, Wan Danweizheng. Because his Kalaqin's left wing suffered heavy losses in the last battle with the god of death Xiao Alin, he could not become an independent army after moving to the pass. In the end, Subudi allocated some of his herdsmen to him. In addition, the Ming Dynasty allowed all Mongolian herdsmen who fled into the pass to join him, and finally he barely recovered his vitality.
After receiving the herdsmen assigned to him by the Ming Dynasty, Wan Danweizheng was a little grateful and vowed to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. The emperor was also very happy and named him King Huaiyi, gave him the surname Zhu, and changed his name to Zhu Weizheng.
Zhu Weizheng's herders were the one placed near Taiyuan, occupying the best pasture in the area of Guilan.
After Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng "re-come out of the world", Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji were transferred to Jiangnan, and the three thousand Mongolian cavalry that Zhu Weizheng was transferred to Zhou Yuji's name.
Zhu Weizheng's three thousand Mongolian cavalry strengthened the weapons of the Ming Dynasty, and his combat power suddenly grew bigger after the armor. Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong was even more sad than in history. When he was attacked into the Dabie Mountains for the last time, except for the old camp led by his confidants, the 50,000 people who had already struggled when they resurrected in Hubei almost disappeared.
Especially when Zhu Weizheng's three thousand cavalry and Zhou Yuji's headquarters were more fierce and unstoppable when they cooperated with the two thousand cavalry of Zhou Yuji's headquarters. Zhu Weizheng's cavalry was good at cavalry and shooting, and the Han cavalry trained by Zhou Yuji were good at breaking through. For a moment, Zhou Yuji's limelight was still above Huang Degong, and most of the contributions that were originally Huang Degong in history fell on Zhou Yuji's head.
There are unexpected situations in the sky, let alone those who go against the will of heaven and change their destiny.
If you want to tamper with history, history will punish you.
(Nikan in the north shivered)
Zhu Weizheng and his men used to survive outside the extremely bitter and cold side walls. The best Silamulun River, the Laoha River Basin, was not their turn, and the flower world in the pass was not their turn, although they were known as the Thirty-Six Family of Duoyan, were in a very embarrassing place.
After entering the Gyeonggi area, their eyes couldn't help but lit up.
Although the area around the capital was also very desolate and desolate due to the severe drought, great cold and plague, it was like a "paragraph" in view of the more miserable Kalaqin tribes.
After moving to Taiyuan, the pasture conditions here were much better than those outside the side walls, not to mention that large areas of farmers including Guilan Prefecture and Yongning Prefecture were also assigned to him, which was even more icing on the cake. Such conditions were better than when Cao Cao arranged for the five Xiongnu tribes to enter Bingzhou before.
At the beginning, Zhu Weizheng thought so too.
However, when he was recruited to Zhou Yuji's men and turned to the Nanzhili area, he was stunned.
In fact, in recent years, the situation in Fengyang and Luzhou has not been very good. In the past few years, it was plundered by thieves, but once these places settle down, they can recover soon.
The Luzhou area that Zhu Weizheng saw was the restored Luzhou Prefecture (Hefei). At the beginning, he fought desperately and was ready to make great contributions to increase his weight in the emperor's mind.
However, after his cavalry robbed a market without any punishment from the government, he became bolder.
According to Zhou Yuji's arrangement, he led troops into Huoshan County to seal Zhang Xianzhong and remove the route of the fifth camp of Zuo to escape east. What the Ming government did not expect was that after Zhu Weizheng entered Huoshan County, he suddenly became crazy and instigated his cavalry to loot the Huoshan County, and finally burned the city.
The government could not hide it anymore and ordered Zhou Yuji to hand over Zhu Weizheng.
Zhou Yuji was also furious. If he could calm down at this time, seek help from Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo, and use a large army to surround Zhu Weizheng, Zhu Weizheng would definitely surrender. With his name as King Huaiyi and the current stormy situation, the court would eventually pardon him.
But Zhou Yuji did not do this. He believed that these Mongolian cavalry were always led by him. If such a big thing happened, he could not let it go, so he left a thousand cavalry to guard Lu'an Prefecture, and he took a thousand cavalry to Huoshan.
At this time, Zhu Weizheng, who was stationed outside Huoshan County, had already woken up and knew that he had made a big mistake. However, he, a Mongolian, had no suitable place to go around him.
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's people came to the door.
I have to talk about it here. When Zhang Xianzhong moved to northern Shaanxi, he also hosted many Mongolian herders, one of whom was still from Kalaqin. Of course, that person was a horse thief from Kalaqin, named Heisha, and in fact, Kasar. In the end, somehow came to Zhang Xianzhong's command.
Because Heisha was brave and good at fighting, he soon became the chief general under Zhang Xianzhong, and his position was still above his adopted sons. Gradually, Heisha also turned into Shahei.
Unfortunately, Sha Hei was killed in the battle with Zuo Liangyu in Henan.
Although Sha Hei died in battle, there was still a Mongolian cavalry team with about 100 people around him who followed Zhang Xianzhong. This time, the people sent by Zhang Xianzhong were one of them.
Zhu Weizheng naturally didn't want to do it. He thought he was just a moment of confusion. It was because he had drunk too much sour wine and was not clear-headed. Why bother to be a thief if he didn't do it well?
At this time, Zhou Yuji also came.
Sha Hei still wanted to return to the embrace of Ming Kingdom, so he immediately tied up the Mongolian spies of Zhang Xianzhong, and he also came out of his body, preparing to apologize for a thorn.
If Zhou Yuji had a little brain, he should temporarily stabilize him and hold him accountable when he annihilates Zhang Xianzhong's remaining troops hidden in Yinghuoshan District. What's more, he has a title of King Huaiyi on his head. Even if he wants to punish him, it should be done by the emperor.
But Zhou Yuji is a straightforward man who hates evil.
When he saw Zhu Weizheng coming out of his flesh, he didn't realize that the person in front of him was a prince conferred by the emperor. In his eyes, it was just a temporary measure of the court. If it were in peacetime, it would never fall under such circumstances.
So, without hesitation, he picked up the whip that Zhu Weizheng held up in both hands and slapped him dozens of times on the back!
Everyone, Zhou Yuji is a rare general of the Ming Dynasty. His weight is not vague at all. It was just these dozens of strokes that made Zhu Weizheng lose his skin, but he still endured Zhou Yuji to let out this breath.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuji completely let go of his vigilance. He stationed outside Huoshan City that night and warned Zhu Weizheng to commit crimes and make meritorious service.
At this time, Zhu Weizheng, who unexpectedly appeared, made the scheming Zhang Xianzhong actually make amazing moves.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Xianzhong took his most elite cavalry and the cavalry of Lao Hui from the fifth barracks of the Lezuo, a total of 3,000 cavalry, and suddenly launched a surprise attack on Zhou Yuji's camp!
In theory, at this time, there were three thousand Mongolian cavalrymen from Zhu Weizheng, and they did not dare to do this, but Zhang Xianzhong came to pass the message through the Mongolians under his command.
"I'm here to vent my anger for the prince, and I will never kill Zhou Yuji."
So, after gradually calming down, Zhu Weizheng agreed with merciless hatred for Zhou Yuji's subordinates.
So, under the attack of the four adopted sons led by Zhang Xianzhong and the eldest son of Lao Huihui, known as "Jin Ma Chao", the name of Ma Chao, the three thousand elite cavalry, he defeated Zhou Yuji. In the end, Zhou Yuji only escaped with a few servants.
Now, Zhu Weizheng, who was watching from the side, was stunned.
Finally, Zhang Xianzhong took out his full net worth, all the gold and all the concubines, and Zhu Weizheng was finally moved.
Zhu Weizheng joined the thief team!
Finally, under the leadership of Zhu Weizheng, Zhang Xianzhong, who was originally as frustrated as a dog, attacked Luzhou and Anqing prefectures. After taking these two places, Zhang Xianzhong not only completely recovered his vitality, but more importantly, he also had an additional naval force in his hands - Chaohu, and Anqing's navy surrendered to him.
With Zhu Weizheng's new force, Zhang Xianzhong's strength in Jiage's left fifth battalion is even stronger than in history!
With Zhu Weizheng's three thousand elite cavalry, Zhang Xianzhong did not repeat the same mistakes. He was defeated in the Qianshan Battle, which was originally defeated in history, and defeated his strong enemy Huang Degong!
With Zhu Weizheng's "Ming Army" as an internal cause, Zhang Xianzhong's confidence increased greatly. He led the Fifth Battalion of the Gezuo crossed the Yangtze River from Anqing and flowed eastward. After Jiande and the two counties, he defeated Fang Guoan, the general of Zhejiang who came to support Nanjing in Chizhou Prefecture.
Unlike Zhang Xianzhong who could only go to Hunan and Sichuan in history, he is now strong and has multiple choices. If he is brave, he might as well occupy Nanjing. If he is more cautious, he can occupy Jiangxi. It is not impossible to go south from Jiangxi to Guangdong. At this time, Guangdong's defense was very empty.
The Yangtze River is in a hurry! Nanjing is in a big shock!
