12-71 200,000 people are disarmed, and none of them are boys
12-72 False Ming
Several cowhide tents have been set up in the Fengtian Temple Square, temporarily serving as the Xixia people's command center. Xixia Queen and Deputy Marshal Anu is summoning his subordinates to plan the next move.
"Attention, all the troops, we must start our journey back north tomorrow. The detective cavalry has learned that King Qin of Jiangnan's army has appeared nearby. If we don't leave, it will be too late." Anu sat at the top and said.
"But we haven't finished taking the treasures in the capital yet, why are we leaving in such a hurry?" Someone objected carelessly.
"Stupid! Just look at the small profits in front of you. The wealth will not fly here. What's the difference between taking it this time and taking it next time? The emperor of the Han people didn't catch it. Yuan Chonghuan and the others must have discovered our conspiracy. Now we can't
There will be endless troubles after leaving." Anu scolded.
"What's so scary about the Han people? They're just weaklings. With so many troops and so many cannons in the capital, we can't just take them down overnight. In my opinion, it's better to just go south and rob Jiangnan." There are still people.
He was indignant, probably because he was dazzled by the victory.
"Huh, if it weren't for Liu Zongmin as an internal agent and the captured firecrackers and cannons, even if we fought for a year, we wouldn't be able to cross the Yangtze River, let alone break into Nanjing City. The Han people suffered such a defeat only because of the stupidity of the upper class. Wait until they get over it
It's hard to say when we are strong. The water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, our cavalry cannot use its advantage, and the Han people share the same hatred, we will look ugly. Let alone occupying the south of the Yangtze River, it will be difficult to control even a mess like the capital."
"What are you afraid of? At worst, we will kill them all. I don't believe it. The Han Chinese, who are as cowardly as sheep, can beat us Mongolians, who are as ferocious as wolves."
Seeing the arrogance of his subordinates, Anu frowned and shouted loudly: "Arrogant! Have you forgotten that the Han people still have heroes like Liu Ziguang and Wu Sangui? Have you forgotten what kind of heroes and good fighters the red shirt troops in Hami and Gansu are?"
If we hadn't been betrayed by Liu Zongmin, if we hadn't been cut off by Yuan Chonghuan, how could we have broken in? Have you forgotten how they looked when they died in battle? Not even one of the three thousand people surrendered! Although our Xixia army
It’s awesome, but you have to understand the situation clearly and don’t be blindly confident, do you understand?”
After being scolded by Anu for a while, the generals did not dare to speak out. The fact is that if the red shirt army had not cut off all the food, grass, weapons and reinforcements, was betrayed by Liu Zongmin, and suffered from front and rear attacks, the Xixia people would still be blocked outside Jiayuguan today.
In addition to the Mongolians being hard-working and adept at long-distance marches, Liu Zongmin is responsible for half of today's results.
"Load the treasure into the carriage, and load the clan ministers into the carriage, and return north as soon as possible. Anyone who dares to delay will be shot to death!" Anu said fiercely.
"But, why do we need to bring those Han burdens? Marshal, didn't you just say that the Han Qin King's army has already surrounded us? Wouldn't bringing them with us delay our trip?" Someone asked in a low voice.
"You rude men only know how to fight but don't know how to study the Han people. They are not a burden, but hostages. Do you know the story of the Song Dynasty? The Jin Kingdom captured the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong, and they could dominate the Song Dynasty for a long time. Although we did not
We have captured Zhu Youxiao, but we have his mother, his queen, the sons and grandsons of the Zhu family, and six ministers. It means that the center of the entire Ming Dynasty is in our hands. Who dares to touch us easily?
?”
Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Anu smiled proudly and said: "You don't understand the Han people, and I have systematically studied them. We have taken over the whole stall in the capital, and the other Han people may not be unhappy, because many people
Therefore, there is an opportunity to rise to the top. We voluntarily withdraw from the capital to give them a great contribution. Thank you before it is too late for us to pursue? Humph, who would do such a thankless thing? Should these captured officials be killed?
Take it back and make them their boss?"
There was crackling applause, and all the generals were impressed by Anu's strategy. After all, she was the most intelligent and courageous person in Xixia. Otherwise, His Majesty Galdan would not have trusted her to send her to lead the army in the Eastern Expedition. Now no one dared to say anything.
, all got up and followed the orders.
In Taimiao Square, the sun was like fire, and the ground was scalding hot. Thousands of clan children, six ministers and their families were exposed to the scorching sun without any protection. In the past, when the weather was like this, they would have been lying under the trees in the back garden.
They were drinking sour plum soup under the shade of the fountain, with a maid waving a fan behind them. But now let alone the sour plum soup, there was not even a sip of water. Many people fainted from the heat, and some people had the courage to ask for water from the guarding Mongolian soldiers.
, all he got was a beating.
Anu passed by the square after the meeting and couldn't help but ride over to take a look at these royal nobles and dignitaries. Looking down from a high position, he saw that these people wearing only underwear were no different from the common people outside, with chapped lips and disheveled hair.
Her eyes were sluggish, and she could be as depressed as she wanted. Anu glanced over, and suddenly her eyes lit up. It turned out that she saw a handsome guy with a proud expression.
"Drag that man out for me." Anu pointed at Maopizhuang in the crowd with his riding whip. Two Mongolian soldiers immediately rushed forward and pulled out Maopizhuang.
He didn't kneel down, he just straightened his clothes, snorted and turned his face away.
"Young handsome guy has a very bad temper. Come on, let's talk here." Anu got off his horse and took the lead into the tent next to him. Mao Pizhang was roughly pushed in by the Mongolian soldiers.
"It's so hot. The weather in Nanjing is really not as good as the grassland. People can't breathe in the summer heat." Anu said, unbuttoning his robe and throwing it to the ground, revealing the silk underwear underneath.
Feng, Mao Bizhang took one look and turned away, snorting disdainfully.
Anujiao laughed: "You are not Hong Chengchou, and I am not Da Yu'er. Although you are a handsome guy, you are not to my taste. What I like is a hero who is good at fighting. There are a few of you in the Ming Dynasty, but it's a pity...
Haha, I'm going too far. I called you here because I want to thank you for what you did for us that day. Without you, Jiang Gan, Cao Cao wouldn't believe Huang Gai. Regardless of whether it was your intention or not, I, Anu, can't do anything.
I like to be indebted to others, so I decided to give you a fortune."
"It's impossible for me to recognize thieves as my father and cooperate with the Tatars!" Mao Pizhang angrily scolded Anu, but Anu was not angry. He giggled and said: "No, we Daxia and Ming Dynasty are originally brothers.
Where does such deep hatred come from? It’s not a big deal for a brother to come over and give him a wake-up call for his stupid brother. A spanking is not a big deal. Zhu Youxiao is a foolish king and is no longer suitable to be an emperor, so we took him here.
Let’s learn a lesson, but the country cannot live without a king for a day. I just want to find a suitable person from the clan to be the emperor. As for the assistant minister, I will let you be the one. I can give it to you.
What do you think of 10,000 captured soldiers and a full set of weapons?"
Maopizhang remained silent, his mind obviously running at high speed, calculating the authenticity of the matter and the possibility of success.
Anu smiled again, "Don't be afraid. We are not setting up puppets. Our Daxia army will not leave a single soldier in Nanjing. You are in charge of all the power. Even if we take the lead, you can send troops to pursue us. As long as you have this
courage."
Hearing this, Mao Pizhang took reassurance. He knew that such a major life encounter would be rare to encounter several times in his life. If he missed it, he would never come back again. He nodded firmly: "Okay, I will
promise."
Anu's strategy is right, because the soldiers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang are indeed approaching Nanjing, and even the capital gradually has resistance. The Ming army, which was stunned at first, quietly organized, intercepting and killing in groups of three and five.
There are lone Mongolian soldiers, and there are even more organized troops outside the city. They rely on the familiar terrain to kill and injure the Mongolians who come out of the city to rob.
Not to be underestimated.
But these have nothing to do with Anu. The Xixia army has begun to evacuate Nanjing in a step-by-step manner. They took away thousands of carts full of gold and silver treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as more than a thousand royal family members, officials, and descendants of the royal family.
During the dynasty, there were once hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. However, in the subsequent wars and political struggles, a considerable number of them were killed or demoted to common people, and the number dropped sharply from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands. Later, King Ning
The rebellion also implicated some people, and then Zhu Youxiao massacred the clan, finding various excuses to kill all the young talents in the clan, leaving behind either the elderly or women and children waiting to die.
There was a news circulating in the capital that Zhu Youxiao had been captured, and the Xixia people were preparing to take him to the distant Western Regions to imprison him. This situation reminded people of the shame of Jingkang in the Song Dynasty, but they could not help but feel sad and angry.
So what, the army has been dispersed, there are grass-headed kings everywhere, no one listens to anyone, all the court institutions have collapsed, officials have been kidnapped, the capital has completely fallen into anarchy, let alone chasing the Tatars, I
It's a good thing if people don't hit their own people.
At a time when all the troops were leaderless, Mao Pizheng stood up resolutely and turned the tide. He recruited a Beijing-based imperial army, recruited some scholars to serve as officials of the six ministries, and elected the posthumous son of the old King Fu, a baby under the age of one month, as the emperor.
He changed his name to Yuan Hongguang and established a new imperial court in Nanjing.
On the same day, the Apocalypse regime in exile was established in Shanghai, and the Ming Dynasty was in a state of uncertainty. Local officials could not tell the truth from the fake, and they did not know which side to be loyal to. Before the foreign enemies had retreated, civil war was about to break out.
