Chapter 631 Before

The capital city was in full swing at this time, not to prepare for war and arrest the sect, but to launch a liquidation campaign by the ministers in the court, to hold the person responsible for the current declining situation, pointing directly at the eunuchs in the city. The name of the treacherous party is the simplest to put it on the eunuch party.

Poor these eunuchs, ten years after Jiajing, had no right at all, and had done evil things there, but all these crimes fell on them.

To be honest, the eunuchs in the Ming court who have been operating in the central government over the years have done their own mediocre things. They are all administrative personnel trained since childhood. They do government affairs and do professionalism. At least there will be no mistakes. On the contrary, many civil servants and imperial examinations have taken the imperial examination.

I only know how to study but not practice. I often rely on my masters and officials to do things. However, whoever has the right to speak in this world will master the truth.

Emperor Jiajing still knew what was going on, but in the current situation, he had to obey civil servants. Although the situation in Jiangnan was cut off, it was obviously collapsed. Zhou Lin in Luanzhou died for the country and more than 100,000 Ming troops were dispersed, which had already shocked the capital.

That is, the emperor and the ministers of the Western Party had a blind superstition and belief in the newly trained mighty army, believing that this army was already a strong army in the world, with a rare elite level in the world, and sufficient wages were paid and well-equipped. Such an army would not have any rivals.

The current capital center is no longer concerned, and the border troops in Shaanxi and Shanxi have no defensive power at all, and have been transferred to the capital in large numbers.

All officials in the court were passionate, and the officials of the six departments wrote several articles, one was to denounce the eunuchs to ruin the country, the other was to say that the demons in Huazhou would be angry and resentful, and the third was to sacrifice their lives for the country and to go to the front line to supervise the army to participate in the war.

For most ministers and officials in the Ming Dynasty, Huazhou, the inexplicable regime system, seemed to pop out from a stone, which was unreasonable and extremely powerful. If this is not a demon, what is it? Since it is a demon, it will inevitably be punished by heaven and earth.

The eunuchs were in trouble, and Emperor Jiajing agreed with this attitude. The Imperial Horse Supervision Camp led by Deng Hua attacked everywhere in the city, circulating the eunuch's property everywhere, and the confiscated money was escorted to the front line as military funds. However, this measure was that civil servants clapped their hands quickly.

In recent years, industry and commerce have flourished. Eunuchs have opened many shops and workshops in the capital city. Many civilians in the capital city rely on work to make a living. Although these industries are not started due to the war outside the city, the civilians feel that their future life will be cut off. Everyone is resentful, but they dare not say anything, because the Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Ministry of Justice, and Shuntian Prefecture of the capital are all martial law. Anyone who criticizes the government or discusses wars will be immediately captured and imprisoned, or sent to the front line as cannon fodder.

As the war in Jiangnan was happening, the supply of grain transport that the north relied on was intermittent, and by late November it was almost completely cut off. Lu Bing's army supply hurt the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, but the number of troops in Huazhou that did not cover up their actions was still increasing.

Lu Bing built a defense line in the capital and Jixian areas. The Huazhou army and horses confronted him were not in a hurry to launch an attack, but they were gathering and mobilizing. Lu Bing also thought of taking the initiative, but every time he was dispatched, he would be bleeding from the front of the Huazhou army, and later he did not dare to move.

I just hope that the border troops of Shanxi and Shaanxi will come over and strengthen their own strength. At least they will have to wait until they have an advantage, or think they have an advantage, before they will start the decisive battle.

The logistics system of the Huazhou Army was still very outstanding in theory, but it was also limited by the transportation conditions of this era. Therefore, Huazhou used a stupid method. The army led by Liu Shisan defeated Luanzhou and cleared the remnants of the Ming army before and after Shanhaiguan and Luanzhou.

Then, through various means of sea and land transportation, before the Bohai Sea was frozen, the grain and livestock accumulated over the years of agricultural reclamation areas and pastoral areas outside the customs were concentrated in the customs. With Luanzhou as the center, it has become a large warehouse group, and huge amounts of logistics supplies are stored here.

As the commander of the central army, Jiang Feng did the work of Captain Sisu, which was the work of the logistics manager. After the army he led arrived in Luanzhou, he continued to advance south until everything was complete here.

This is also why although the Huazhou Army has been victorious, it has no speed of advancement. The soldiers have to eat, the war horses have to eat grass, and the army is not a machine. Later generations have said that war relies on logistics, and in the Ming Dynasty, it can also be said that war relies on food and grass.

It is precisely because of such a logistics supply that Liu Shisan's troops are fighting without any worries. Even so, the advancement speed of this army cannot be called rapid.

There are some almost miraculous troops in history, such as traveling hundreds of miles a day, traveling rapidly, sweeping across the country, but the supplies of these troops are maintained by local looting. Although the speed of traveling is fast, the place where they pass is scorched earth.

When the Huazhou army entered the pass, they were all Han families, and their clans fought each other. If they were too ruthless and there was no room for room for them, they might encounter some troubles in their future rule. Therefore, Sima was racking his brains to weaken the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but not to make the local area too chaotic.

In the process of such a large army war, it was easy to see the scorched earth in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, like hell. But now, there are chaos everywhere, but there are big clans and governments fighting openly and secretly. At most, the people on the ground have a hard time and are just a little nervous.

Since life is barely passed, the public opinion of the people and grassroots literati is easily influenced by certain trends. For example, at the beginning, people from certain places outside the coast and the pass all criticized Huazhou as a traitor and destroyed this hard-won peaceful and prosperous era.

With the continuous victory of the Huazhou army, occupying a large area of ​​territory in the north and south of the Yangtze River, there were beginnings among the people: Jiajing was not the direct descendant of Chengzu Zhu Di, and his throne was not right, and he was arranged in heaven to support the right position, etc. One of the rumors was the most reliable, that is, King Jing, who disappeared in Linyi, was the king of Huazhou. He was the biological descendant of Emperor Hongzhi, and this time he was going to get the throne back.

If this news was seen by King Jing, a family of the family of the local landlords on Huazhou, they would be scared to death. King Jing seemed to like this life that was not as rich as before, but much more free than before. He once entrusted the civil officials of the 33 guards to bring a letter to Liu Shunhua and Jiang Feng, saying that he just hoped to live his life here for the rest of his life and was unwilling to have any relationship with the Zhu family again. The letter came to Liu Fangrui. At that time, a child of Su Guanyue was sick, and the whole family was worried. Liu Fangrui also felt compassionate and asked Sima to engage in the military camp to ignore the King Jing family.

Except for the part responsible for defense in the three sides of Shaanxi, there are no traces of barbarian cavalry in the entire grassland, so the border troops in various places can be mobilized, and only the border troops in Shaanxi and Shanxi cannot move. If they move, the Mongols in the west will take advantage of these passes to take advantage of the situation.

Although the governments and military soldiers in various parts of Shanxi and Shaanxi also hate Huazhou, they also know something in their hearts. No matter how they fight, they still have to leave some way for the people to survive. If these wild beasts on the grassland come in, they will do something that will kill them and be destined to be conscientious.

So after receiving the order from the court to mobilize the troops of Shanxi and Shaanxi border guards, the people transferred were not considered to be a damn bad thing, but they had to mobilize again next, but they were going to take time to defend the most basic defense. What should the Mongolians do when they come in? What if they won’t be as good as the Huazhou army?

Of course, this cannot be said randomly. The envoy from the capital held the Emperor's Sword and a complete set of talismans, and brought the Jinyiwei. If he had any doubts about the order to mobilize troops, he would be imprisoned and sentenced to the prison for treason. At this time, the provinces still had a deep sense of awe of the center. Although he was full of reluctance, he still mobilized his troops to advance towards the capital.

Shanxi, Shaanxi, had empty troops, and those who had a little knowledge were worried, fearing that the Mongols would attack in like this. Although the Yilibali tribe in the west was not as strong as the Tatars and Wats, it had been entrenched in the Western Regions for nearly a hundred years and had a strong force. It was because of the Shaanxi border army's death resistance that they did not allow them to enter Shanxi. At this time, the main forces of the border army were all transferred to the Zhili area in the northern capital, so wouldn't they be seized by the other party?

However, their worries have never become a reality. The Yilibali tribe of Mongolia was suffering a catastrophe at this time. This tribe was able to mobilize about 20,000 young and strong horses, but now it is in danger of being destroyed. The terrifying Huazhou army has come. It is said that this is the unit that destroyed the Tatars and the Tartars.

This army had only 5,000 people, and about 3,000 of them were not Han people, but the Yilibali tribe had no ability to resist, firearms, armored cavalry, high morale, and trained troops, which were enough to wipe out the armed herders such as Yilibali.
