The Ming Dynasty was established, and Xi'an became the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was naturally not the king of Xining. The king of Xining was just a follower of Jing Zhanrong, nor was he Jing Maochun or Jing Zhanyao, but Jing Zhanrong, the former governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu and Fuyuan general of the Qing Dynasty!
Oh no, now we should call the Jing family father and son Zhu Maochun, Zhu Zhanrong, and Zhu Zhanyao.
The military power of the Ming Dynasty was powerful, even stronger than that of the Qing Dynasty before it.
Previously, the Qing Dynasty had hundreds of thousands of troops, but this time the Ming Dynasty's troops are estimated to reach 200,000.
First of all, Zhu Zhanrong originally controlled nearly 200,000 Qing Dynasty's western troops. According to Zhu Zhanrong's estimation, there should be about 100,000 officers and soldiers joining him in rebelling against Qing Dynasty.
Secondly, Zhu Zhanrong could recruit tens of thousands of civilian soldiers who were not weak in combat capability in a short period of time.
Thirdly, the Xi'an Camp under the Xining County Prince has a strength of 40,000.
Finally, the Tiandi Gang already has tens of thousands of members, and it can be expanded to at least 20,000 in a short period of time.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also had a lot of military pay and powerful firearms.
However, the Ming Dynasty also had shortcomings. The main shortcoming was that the composition of the military was complex, and many officers and soldiers were not very rebellious. This led to the unstable military morale of the Ming Dynasty's 200,000-strong army...
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, under the order of Zhu Zhanrong, Zhu Zhanyao, as the general of Dingguo, commanded an army of 80,000 people and marched from Shaanxi to Shanxi, trying to quickly pass through Shanxi and go straight to Shenjing!
This 80,000-strong army is just marching first, and there may be reinforcements behind it. Moreover, along the way, members of the Tiandi Gang will continue to join in, and new rebel officers and soldiers and civilian soldiers will continue to be recruited...
The ambition of the three fathers and sons of the Jing family was not just to build a Ming Dynasty in the west, but to conquer the entire Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!
The three fathers and sons of the Jing family also knew that if the Ming Dynasty did not take the initiative to attack the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty would also take the initiative to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. Instead of being passively beaten, it would be better to take advantage of the serious conflicts in the Qing Dynasty court caused by Jia Yun's seizure of the throne and the instability of the new emperor's people.
, take the initiative to attack quickly, as long as the Shenjing can be captured, the Qing Dynasty will fall, and once the Qing Dynasty falls, the world will most likely belong to the Ming Dynasty.
The Yellow River is the natural dividing line between Shaanxi and Shanxi.
On the morning of the second day of June, dozens of boats, large and small, were crossing the Yellow River repeatedly, transporting 80,000 Ming troops from Shaanxi to Shanxi on the other side.
At this time, there were three people standing on a large boat crossing the Yellow River, one was Zhu Zhanyao, the other was Protector Song, and the other was Protector Shangguan.
Among the four great protectors of the Tiandi Gang, one protector Yang, Tang Yi, has died, and there are three left. Among them, the most resourceful protector Zhuge is currently on the other side of the Yellow River to help the Ming army cross the river.
There was also a prison car on board this large ship. In the prison car, Prince Teng, the commander of the nine provinces, was imprisoned.
Wang Ziteng was indeed unlucky. It can be said that he was unlucky. Under the orders of Emperor Tianzhi, he inspected the military in the west to guard against Zhu Zhanrong. As a result, he was captured by Zhu Zhanrong in Hanzhong. Because he had great influence in both the Qing Dynasty court and the army.
Some influential people, especially in the Beijing camp, are now imprisoned in prison vans.
And Jia Yun, who had been at odds with him before and whom he considered to have almost zero chance of succeeding to the throne in the future, had now usurped the throne and became the emperor.
This makes Wang Ziteng really sad and emotional!
Why did it suddenly become like this?
In the prison car, Wang Ziteng was slovenly, his face was earth-colored, and he was in a state of despair. He stared blankly through the gap in the prison car at Zhu Zhanyao, who was standing nearby wearing a general's armor.
Zhu Zhanyao had no intention of paying attention to Wang Ziteng at the moment, and was admiring the sight of the army crossing the Yellow River.
At this time, Shangguan Protector said: "General, the army has crossed the Yellow River, and we will face a big battle next."
Zhu Zhanyao nodded and said sonorously: "The next battle will be difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, we can only succeed and not fail this time. We must successfully attack Shenjing and capture Shenjing!"
Protector Song couldn't help but sigh: "General, I have asked you more than once whether you will spare brother Yun's life if our great cause succeeds. Now it seems that you will not spare his life, right?"
Zhu Zhanyao paused and said, "When we attack Shenjing City, if he is willing to surrender, I will spare his life."
Protector Song: "..."
Protector Song already understood that Zhu Zhanyao would not let Jia Yun live.
What Zhu Zhanyao meant was that when the Ming army attacked the city of Shenjing, Jia Yun, the new emperor of the Qing Dynasty, opened the city gate to "greet" the Ming army. The city of Shenjing was destroyed without an attack, and the Qing Dynasty was overthrown.
How is this possible!
Protector Song knew that Zhu Zhanyao had now become a terrifying tycoon, and Jia Yun had become the new emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Once the Ming army captured Shenjing City, Jia Yun would undoubtedly die!
At this moment, Zhu Zhanyao became silent, thinking about Jia Yun in the silence...
It has to be said that Jia Yun caused a lot of trouble to the Jing family!
The Jing family carefully speculated on the situation in the Qing Dynasty after the assassination of Emperor Tianzhi.
According to the Jing family's speculation, after Emperor Tianzhi was assassinated, the old and sick Emperor Kangxing would quickly appoint a new emperor. Once Emperor Kangxing appointed the new emperor, the most likely one would be Xia Hao, followed by Prince Yicheng, and then Xia Hao.
Prince Yi and Yi Ping will be ranked behind, while Prince Xia Hao and Yi Cheng will be useless emperors once they become the new emperor.
The Jing family also speculated that Jia Yun would probably raise an army to seize the throne, Prince Yiping might also raise an army to seize the throne, and the Qing Kingdom in the north might also escape from the predicament...
This was a good time for the Jing family to establish the Ming Dynasty and attack the Qing Dynasty.
However, the result was very different from the Jing family's speculation. Emperor Kangxing died so quickly, and Jia Yun succeeded in seizing the throne quickly and easily. There was not even a big battle in the process, and the city of Shenjing was almost intact.
The military strength of the Qing Dynasty was almost undamaged...
Zhu Zhanyao knew Jia Yun very well and knew that the Qing Dynasty with Jia Yun as the emperor would be very powerful and terrifying even if the conflicts in the court were serious and the new emperor and the people were unstable!
When he first succeeded in assassinating Emperor Tianzhi, Zhu Zhanyao was really excited. At that time, he believed that the chance of destroying the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty was already 50%.
However, now, Zhu Zhanyao believes that the chance is less than 30%.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even if the chance is less than 30%, Zhu Zhanyao will ask himself to only succeed and not fail.
At this time, Zhu Zhanyao stopped his thoughts, and the ship he was on docked.
All 80,000 Ming troops were about to cross the river and enter Shanxi.
And Chu Mingkai, the Governor of Shanhe and Pingxi General of the Qing Dynasty, is in Shanxi right now!
As Shangguan Protector said, what this Ming army will face next is a big war...
…
…
Previously, while the Inner Mongolia Camp and the Outer Firearms Battalion left Shengjing, the Qing Emperor Shuizhen, who was trapped in Shengjing City, ordered the Qing Army to go out of the city to attack the Qing Dynasty army surrounding Shengjing City. Due to the large reduction in Qing Dynasty's military strength and the ongoing events
In order to seize the throne, the general Wang Xiayi was captured again, causing the Qing Dynasty army to retreat steadily.
Fortunately, under Jia Yun's order, Zhan Chang led the Inner Mongolia battalion to return quickly as General Pingbei.
Zhan Chang commanded the frontline army and led the Qing army back to Shengjing City.
Immediately afterwards, Zhan Chang followed Jia Yun's order and continued to defend Shengjing City without attacking...
Jia Yun still wants to defend but not attack Shengjing City this time. The reason is that the food in Shengjing City is limited. If the siege lasts for a long time, the morale of the army and the people will be unsettled. However, the Qing Dynasty's frontline army without the outer firearms camp is not strong in firearms.
It was greatly reduced. Instead of attacking the city, it is better to wait for the Qing army to leave the city and be beaten. Maybe the Shui family will return...
It was also the morning of the second day of June, when the 80,000 Ming army was crossing the Yellow River, a dispute broke out in Shengjing City.
"Your Majesty, we really can't defend Shengjing City any longer. It's doomed to be a dead end if we continue to defend it like this. Why don't we take advantage of the fact that we still have tens of thousands of troops and retreat to Changbai Mountain with our troops!"
The person who said this was Yin Zhu. His Chinese was not good, so he said these words in Manchu.
Yin Zhu’s surname is not Yin, but Aixinjueluo.
Like the previous life, the Houjin of this world was also established by the Aisin Gioro family.
Yinzhu was originally the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty. After the Shui family united with the Later Jin Dynasty to establish the Qing Dynasty, Yinzhu became the only prince of the Qing Dynasty, and he had a different surname. Shuizhen used this to show his respect for Yinzhu.
In fact, the Qing Dynasty is not yet a trapped beast, because there is still a way out, and that is Changbai Mountain!
Changbai Mountain is the birthplace of Hou Jin. This place is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack. When Taizu Qing even destroyed the Ming Dynasty, he failed to destroy Hou Jin, mainly because Hou Jin retreated to Changbai Mountain.
The Qing Dynasty now has tens of thousands of troops left, including many elite soldiers. If they want to retreat to Changbai Mountain, the Qing Dynasty army surrounding Shengjing cannot stop them.
However, Shuizhen did not want to do this.
Because even if the Qing Dynasty's army could not be stopped, it would still cause heavy casualties to the Qing Dynasty's remaining military forces.
Changbai Mountain is Hou Jin's home base. Hou Jin is very familiar with Changbai Mountain. There are still 10,000 Hou Jin soldiers left in Changbai Mountain, and there are also many Hou Jin people living in Changbai Mountain. Shuizhen is worried that once the Qing Dynasty retreats to Changbai Mountain, Hou Jin will rebel.
The Shui family will be destroyed by then...
Yinzhu's Chinese was not good, but Shuizhen's Mandarin was very good. It must be said that Shuizhen was a very talented and hard-working man. In order for Hou Jin to surrender, he even learned Manchu.
Facing Yin Zhu's proposal, Shuizhen responded in fluent Manchu: "Once we break out of the city and retreat to Changbai Mountain, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Even if we retreat to Changbai Mountain, we will continue to be pursued by the Qing Dynasty army. At that time,
The people of Houjin in Changbai Mountain will suffer."
Shuizhen said again: "What's more, I have explained to you several times. Now Emperor Kangxing and Emperor Tianzhi of the Qing Dynasty are dead. Although the six princes succeeded in raising an army to seize the throne, the court and the people's hearts will definitely be unstable, and
The Jing family is bound to rebel in the west, which means there is still hope for our Qing Dynasty..."
Before Shuizhen could finish speaking, Yin Zhu interrupted: "As long as we retreat to Changbai Mountain, I have the confidence to stop the Qing Dynasty's army. If we continue to be trapped here, we won't be able to hold on for long. We will either be defeated by the Qing Dynasty's army, or
If chaos breaks out in the city, it will be easy for the Qing Dynasty army to invade!"
Shuizhen felt very uncomfortable...
The previous Great Khan of the Hou Jin Dynasty had many sons, and Yinzhu was just one of them and was not taken seriously. Originally, Yinzhu had no chance to become the Great Khan of this generation. With the planning and help of the Shui family, he became.
After becoming the Great Khan, he, the Great Khan, was also hijacked by the Shui family...
This is one of the reasons why Hou Jin returned to Jieshui family.
Another reason is that Shuizhen promised Yinzhu that once the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Qing Dynasty, he would cede the Northeast to Hou Jin, including the Shengjing Prefecture, and let Hou Jin establish a country in the Northeast.
Because of this, Yin Zhu was respectful and flattering to Shuizhen in the past, at least on the surface, but now Yinzhu dared to interrupt Shuizhen. More importantly, Shuizhen had noticed that Yinzhu might have turned against him.
, has already planned to destroy the Shui family.
Once Hou Jin destroyed the Shui family in Changbai Mountain, then the Qing property, women, etc. that the Shui family brought with them would all belong to Hou Jin, and belonged to Yin Zhu, the Hou Jin Khan.
In fact, this is what Yin Zhu planned!
Although he felt very uncomfortable and noticed Yin Zhu's reluctance, Shuizhen still had to suppress his anger and took the trouble to persuade Yin Zhu.
Fortunately, Yin Zhu didn't dare to be aggressive with Shuizhen now. If he made Shuizhen anxious, he would not only have no chance to lure Shuizhen to Changbai Mountain, but he might also be killed by Shuizhen.
After Yin Zhu left, Shui Rong said to Shui Zhen: "Father, I think that Yin Zhu may have turned against you!"
Shuizhen nodded: "I can see it too."
Shui Rong reached out and wiped his neck: "Do you want it?"
Shuizhen shook his head: "There is still use in keeping him at the moment."
Immediately, the father and son walked out of the palace together and went to the tower to check the battle situation.
Similar to the previous life, Taizu of the Later Jin Dynasty built a palace in Shengjing, the capital of the country. Although it was not as good as the palace in Shenjing City, it was still very large and luxurious. After the Shui family took control of Shengjing, the palace became the Shengjing Garrison. Later,
The Shui family established the Qing Dynasty, and the palace restored its nature as a palace.
At this time, Shuizhen and Shuirong came to the city tower together, and happened to encounter the Qing Dynasty army outside the city who was using many archers to shoot numerous letters of persuasion to surrender.
Well, this trick is what Jia Yun likes to use.
Jia Yun ordered Zhan Chang to send a wave of surrender letters to the Qing Dynasty every day, because Jia Yun still held on to the hope of the Shui family's surrender. This method could also attack the morale of the military and the people in Shengjing.
At this moment, Shuizhen, who was standing on the city tower, was really angry when he saw the densely packed surrender letters that were shot through bows and arrows, but he still asked someone to pick up a surrender letter and read it.
I saw that this time the surrender letter said that if the Shui family was willing to surrender, a bloodline of the Shui family could be left, and it could be dissolved in Shui. It was also merciful to the female family members of the Shui family and would not be executed. It also said that if the officials and soldiers in the city did not surrender,
They will kill everyone in the city, and those who surrender will be given a lighter punishment. If you help open the city gate, you will not only be forgiven but also rewarded...
Although Shuizhen was very familiar with this kind of surrender letter, when he saw this new one, he still let out an angry "hum" and thought: "What a cunning Jia Yun!"
Shuizhen knew that this move must have been arranged by Jia Yun!
Shuizhen always called Jia Yun "Jia Yun" because the sixth prince of the Qing Dynasty was his biological son Xia Xu, and Xia Xu had been detained outside Shengjing by the Qing Dynasty army recently, and Shuizhen did not want to recognize Jia Yun.
This is the new emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, Shuizhen still finds it incredible that the son of Qingwan whom he replaced back then took over the throne and became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty at such a young age. In Shuizhen's view, this shows that Jia Yun has the destiny of the emperor.
