What a strong gust of wind! According to the judgment of later historians, this wind should be a tornado, otherwise it would not affect the trend of this war.
A good Marquis of Dingxi can write articles and kill the enemy in battle.
Zhang Mingzhen led 300 cavalry and 2,000 infantry, and galloped into Zheng's army. In the hazy moment, he slashed at the sight of people. Zheng general Wu Xin fought, but Zhang Mingzhen stabbed him under the horse with a spear.
The wind blew for an hour. After an hour, the sight was restored. The two sides were already entangled in each other, and no one could form a formation.
At this time, there are more people and the side with better weapons has the advantage.
The Ming-Mo allied soldiers had many weapons and good weapons, so they were the victors. The Zheng army gradually became exhausted and collapsed.
"Drive", Zheng Dong turned his horse and wanted to go away. In the panic, he shot a stray arrow from nowhere, hitting the back of his neck, and died in the formation.
"King Xi Dinh, the situation is over. Please withdraw to Thanh Hoa quickly and reorganize the army to fight again." Nguyen Renzheng advised Zheng Zha.
"Alas! It's so good, but there is a tornado. God bless me Zheng!"
Zheng Zha sighed and ordered to retreat.
"Kill!"
The Pingxi Bo Dynasty followed closely.
Zheng Zha organized three groups of troops to cut off the rear, and they were all killed. One escaped and the other chased. Gradually, Zheng Zha and his men became separated. He led a few personal guards to flee to the west bank of the Red River, surrounded by Ming troops. What was worse was that
, there is no boat.
The seer of the dynasty, Zheng Zao, wore a phoenix-winged forehead helmet and chain mail inlaid with dragons and beasts. The arm coverings on the armor, the lower skirt, and the guard feet were all complete. Moreover, the guards around him were very elite, and they fought tooth and nail to protect the Lord.
Feeling that this person was extraordinary and must be a big shot, he asked: "Who are you from the Zheng family?"
Zheng Zha sighed, came to the front of the formation, and looked directly at Emperor Chao, "I am the son of Zheng Zhe, the king of the Qing capital of the Southern Kingdom of Da'an, and Zheng Zha, the king of Xiding. The general who wants to win is a solitary leader, and his subordinates are innocent. Please don't cause more trouble."
"Kill evildoers".
After saying this, he drew his sword and killed himself, with blood splattering three feet.
As soon as he died, all his subordinates lost their fighting spirit and knelt down crying bitterly.
Chao Chao was surprised at first and secretly thought that all the old Zheng family members were tough guys. No wonder they could control the affairs of Annan for hundreds of years and control the Li family to death.
The dynasty first respected Zheng Zha as a man and ordered him to be buried with dignity.
The battle was fought with great momentum, and the Battle of Shenglong was a complete victory. The Ming army was overwhelmingly powerful, easily captured Fenghua, established the Second Prefecture, and approached Qinghua Prefecture.
Zhang Mingzhen took out the edict sent to him by Zhu Hengjia in a hurry of 800 miles. There were only a few lines of words on it: "Our army should gain something when it goes south. It is my intention to transfer Haiyang to the north of Lanjiang River.
The three prefectures of Jianping and the five prefectures of Heting, Guangping, Guangzhi, Gia Lai, and Kunhao to the south were merged into the Ming Dynasty. The rest of the places can be entrusted to the people of Annan to govern, so as not to harm the lives of the Ming Dynasty soldiers.
I secretly thought that I had already completed the task of expanding the territory assigned by His Majesty when I reached Jianping Prefecture. The remaining four prefectures of Jiaxing, Dien Bien, Thanh Hoa, and Ngee An of the Zheng family will follow His Majesty's instructions and use Annan people to police the South.
People, just send more troops from the Mo clan and the Li Dynasty to attack.
It happened that Yang Wu sent people to escort 40,000 Zheng Army prisoners captured in Hue. Zhang Mingzhen selected 10,000 elites from them, led by the surrendered Annan general, and stationed them in Haiyang, Fenghua, and Jianping as help.
The remaining 30,000 Ming army garrison troops to maintain public security were handed over to Ruan Yi and Ruan Shouchun, the confidants of Annan King Li Weihu, to organize and train the Li army.
Zhang Mingzhen personally led the army and stationed it in the newly acquired land of Sanfu. He only sent Chaoyang to lead 5,000 Ming troops, leading Ruan Yi, 35,000 Li troops from Ruan Shouchun, Nong Guihu, and 10,000 Mo troops from Shi Wei's tribe.
, to attack the remaining Zheng troops in Jiaxing, Dien Bien, Thanh Hoa, and Nghe An.
??
"Your Majesty, King Xi Dinh has died for his country," Nguyen Nhan Zheng sobbed to Zheng Gen, who had just arrived from Nghe An to Thanh Hoa.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Generals Zheng Shi and Hu Meng asked Zheng Gen.
Having lost his grandfather, father, and brother one after another, Zheng Gen wanted to cry, but he couldn't. A man bleeds and sweats without shedding tears, not to mention that he is now the general of an army and the head of the Zheng family.
Zheng Gen thought for a while and then said to Ruan Renzheng: "Shang Ruan, you immediately go to the Ming Dynasty to see Ding Xihou, and say that I, the Zheng family, are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty and recognize Li Weiyu, the king of Annan, as my master, but I hope to keep Jiaxing.
Dien Bien, Thanh Hoa, and Ngee An are the four prefectures. If this is not possible, we can keep Thanh Hoa and Ngee An."
"Yes!"
"The rest of the generals, follow me up the mountain."
"Up the mountain?"
"Yes, go up the mountain. The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. It would be unwise to fight head-on. Our Annan country is full of mountains. You and I will hide our troops in the mountains, harass and ambush the Ming army. You must make sure that the enemy has no peace every day."
p>
"Yes!"
Seeing that the generals lacked confidence, Zheng Gen loudly encouraged the soldiers and said: "Back then, the Ming Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Yongle was so powerful. The Ming army invaded Annan with 500,000 troops. My ancestors of the Zheng family and the ancestors of the Li family relied on this building
This big mountain dragged and exhausted the Ming army, and finally succeeded in establishing the country. Today's Ming Dynasty, the national power is not as strong as that of Yongle, but I, Annan, are much stronger than Yongle. A mountain peak can withstand a thousand elite soldiers, I, Annan
The country has 999 mountains and millions of troops at its disposal. Why should we fear the Ming army?"
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but cheer up and straighten their waists.
Zheng Zha made his fourth son, Zheng Gen, his heir apparent, and he could be said to know his son better than his father. Twenty-one-year-old Zheng Gen was the most talented among his brothers. He was deeply loved by his grandfather, King Zheng Zhi of Qingdu, and he often said that in the future he would bring glory to the Zheng family.
It must be these four grandchildren. In another time and space, this is indeed the case. It was his outstanding command that saved the Zheng family in the fifth Zheng-Nuan War.
Zheng Gen showed his talent as a famous general. He broke Zheng's army into pieces and hid in the mountains. He hid when he encountered a large group of enemies, and ambushed when he encountered a small group of enemies. He also made up four sentences: "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we retreat."
When the enemy is stationed, I will harass you; when the enemy is tired, I will fight."
Suddenly, the four prefectures of Jiaxing, Dien Bien, Thanh Hoa, and Nghe An were filled with battlefields.
??
Ruan Renzheng met Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Mingzhen is familiar with military literature, is well versed in strategy, and understands the principle of playing hard to get. He deliberately pretended to be indifferent, lying on his side on an Annan-style recliner with an arrogant attitude.
The huanghuali wood produced in Annan makes good chairs and is comfortable to lie on.
"Your lord sent you here to surrender?"
Zhang Mingzhen asked lazily and stretched a long way. It was rare! For him, a humble gentleman, stretching in front of others was definitely the first time.
Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated!
Ruan Renzhen gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger and said: "My lord is willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty and recognize the Li family as the master, but he hopes to keep the four prefectures of Jiaxing, Dien Bien, Thanh Hoa and Nghe An."
"Hahaha", Zhang Mingzhen laughed, "Now that we have reached this point, your lord still wants to keep the Zheng family's land?"
"If we retain the four prefectures, Marquis Dingxi will not allow it. If we retain Thanh Hoa, the second prefecture of Nghe An is also acceptable." Nguyen Renzheng gave in.
Zhang Mingzhen said seriously: "You go back and tell your lord that the Zheng family must surrender unconditionally. I, the Ming Dynasty, can protect the Zheng family's life and property and arrange some civil servants to do it for them."
