Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 671
Jiang Yu was originally the seal of General Zhenshuo, the commander-in-chief of Datong in the Ming Dynasty. In the Jiashen year, Li Chuang broke through Taiyuan, and he surrendered to Li Zicheng with Datong Town.In the same year, the Dashun Army was defeated in Shanhaiguan and news came that they had abandoned Beijing. He launched a rebellion and killed Zhang Tianlin, the defender of the Shun Army, and surrendered to the Qing.

The road was blocked and the news was blocked. At first, Jiang Yu didn't know Jianyi's intention after entering the customs. Therefore, like the Hongguang Dynasty in the south, he misjudged that Wu Sangui borrowed his teacher to seek thieves, and supported Zhu Dingshan, a descendant of King Zaoqiang in the Ming Dynasty. "Continuing the Sacrifice of the First Emperor", but soon Jianyi's intention to rule the Central Plains became clear, and he had to submit a petition to plead guilty, but Jianyi still reprimanded him.

Afterwards, he was ordered to mobilize troops, and following Azige's expedition to the west, he worked hard in the battle to suppress the Dashun Army in northern Shaanxi.

Jiang Yu was active and thought that he could get a reward, but he didn't expect that after he returned from victory, the Qing court turned up his old account and reprimanded him for hesitating when he received the order to follow Azigexi on the expedition. After returning to the Qing court in June of [-], he still used the reign title of Chongzhen to issue a decree in July to support the descendants of King Zaoqiang.

Dorgon was named Prince Rui by Jianyi, which means that he is very smart, and he is indeed treacherous. When the situation is unstable, when he wants to recruit you, he will say good things. It seems that Jianyi is lenient enough. Once the situation is stable, Then he will immediately look like a different person, and it is time to kill you.

It was Dorgon's cunning, the nature of this black-hearted boss, that made Jianyi's business bigger and bigger step by step in the process of cheating and abducting.

This is the case with Jianyi's first shaving order at the beginning of his entry into the customs, the surrender of Zheng Zhilong, and the fate of Sun Kewang and Hong Chengchou later.

Jiang Yu was obviously put on the same side by Jianyi. He himself gave Jianyi an important city of Datong without spending a single soldier, and because Jianyi defeated the Dashun Army in Yulin, he could go further in his title and official position. But in the end, not only did he not get a reward of half a copper, but he was also said to be hesitant to send troops, and he was suspected, which made him full of resentment.

It's just that the north has been completely controlled by the Qing court at this time, and it's too late for him to regret it.

Afterwards, the Qing soldiers repeatedly used troops in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Chu and Jiangxi to confiscate Shanxi's material resources and manpower, which increased the burden on Shanxi officials and people.In the past two years, Jianyi suffered consecutive defeats, and the search for Shanxi became even more intensified.

This made Jiang Guan even more dissatisfied with Jianyi, coupled with civil uprisings one after another, and the Ming Dynasty gradually gained a firm foothold, he inevitably had some ideas and uttered some words of complaint.

In the fourth year of Shunzhi, in March, in order to strengthen the control of the Han officials in charge, the Manchu Qing ordered all the governors, governors, and general soldiers abroad to send their parents and children to the court to serve as servants and teach them the rituals. In fact, they were taken as hostages. Jiang Guan became more resentful in his heart.

At this time, Li Jiantai, a scholar of the Chongzhen Dynasty, noticed that Jiang Tuan seemed to be rebellious, so he wrote to Qian Qianyi, and connected with him to instigate Jiang Tuan to turn around.

It was only later that news came from Beijing that Liu Zeqing participated in the anti-Qing war, and his whole family was killed. In addition, Jianyi did not affect Jiang Tuan's fundamental interests at present, so his attitude wavered a little.

Datong is one of the nine important towns in the Ming Dynasty. Surrounded by the Great Wall, it is located at the junction of the Taihang anticline and the Yinshan uplift. The barrier of the Jin Dynasty, the gateway to the north, and the throat of the Jin Dynasty and the North Zhizhi, it is a battleground for military strategists of all dynasties, known as the "Northern Lock and Key".

Datong practitioners in the Ming Dynasty were very tall, and it was a rare fortified city, mainly to defend against Mongolia. Although Jianyi conquered Eastern Mongolia, the tribes of Western Mongolia did not surrender. Datong is still responsible for defending Mongolia at this time.

The entire Datong Town has a very wide jurisdiction. The Great Wall for defense starts from Zhenkoutai in the east and ends at Yajiao Mountain in the west. The head of the border town is the north gate of the capital.

However, as the strategic focus of the Ming Dynasty changed from Mongolia to Jianyi, Datong Town inevitably declined, but at this time there were still [-] soldiers in the town.

At this time several soldiers were standing at the gate of the city, and the people came in and out in long lines. Suddenly, there was a commotion on the official road outside the city. A cavalry team of hundreds of people came galloping from the east, and their horseshoes stepped through the mud, splashing water. There was a large swath of sewage, and the common people couldn't avoid it. Their bodies and faces were splashed with mud, but the common people didn't dare to abuse, dare not make a sound, and dared not offend the cavalry.

The soldiers at the city gate heard the movement and quickly raised their vigilance. The people on the official road kept avoiding and looked back. They saw these cavalrymen with white helmets and white armor, fat horses, and strong knights. A generation.

The cavalry rushed forward without stopping, a general at the city gate suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand in a gesture of prohibition, and shouted loudly: "The city gate is a heavy place, don't break in!"

Datong is an important military town, so there is naturally a set of rules. In addition, no matter it is ruled by Ming Dynasty, Dashun, or Jianyi, Datong is guarded by Jiang Guan. The Jianyi Eight Banners did not enter Datong, so many soldiers in Datong Town did not I didn't feel like being overwhelmed.

The horse neighed, its front hooves hung in the air, and then it stopped abruptly in front of President Ba. The white-armored general on the horse immediately became furious, and pulled out the whip in his hand, immediately leaving a hideous wound on President Ba's face.

"Dog slave, blind your dog eyes, dare to block the way of this king!"

The general was whipped. Hearing that the other party was actually a prince, how could he dare to insist? Chickens fly and dogs jump.

When the soldiers saw the cavalry entering the city, they couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Who is this? What are you doing here in Datong?"

There was resentment in the eyes of the general manager, "If you say he is a prince, it will definitely not be a good thing if he comes. Maybe we will be conscripted to fight in the south again."

The mansion of the general in Datong City is approaching the end of the year, and every household in the city is preparing for the New Year. The mansion of the general is no exception. The servants in the mansion are busy posting couplets and cleaning the courtyard. Suddenly, a person rushes in through the gate. The servants in the mansion hurriedly saluted when they saw it: "Fourth Master!"

The person who came didn't pay attention, and walked quickly through the front yard, through the hallway, and came to the backyard. He saw a middle-aged man in his 40s, sitting on a stone bench, and was amused by a two- or three-year-old child. He hurried over , "Third brother, something is wrong."

The middle-aged man was Jiang Yu, the commander-in-chief of Datong. Hearing the voice, he saw his younger brother Jiang Youguang approaching anxiously, frowned, got up and handed the boy on his lap to the woman next to him, amused him a few more times, Then he turned around and said, "Why are you panicking, come with me."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Tuan walked into the room, Jiang Youguang hurriedly followed, and finally came to Jiang Tuan's study. After sitting down, Jiang Tuan asked, "What made you so anxious? Tell me!"

Jiang Youguang couldn't bear it long ago, and immediately said anxiously after hearing the words: "Third Brother, Nikan has come to Datong and has already entered Governor Xuanda's office. My younger brother asked someone to inquire. It is said that the court wanted to transfer Third Brother to Shandong to suppress bandits. This Could it be that the imperial court heard something and wanted to take the opportunity to attack our Jiang family?"
