Although King Zhiming Li Yangzhen was not good at fighting in the field, he was able to lead thousands of remaining soldiers to defend the city.
After Shenli captured Tiandefu City, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor and generously rewarded the meritorious officials. He then fought across the river and stormed Beijiang Road City for more than 20 days. He was unable to defeat tens of thousands and several thousand more.
It would be strange to be able to chew it.
The absolute elite among the rebels were hundreds of borrowed Dali soldiers. They were neither Duan Yu's imperial troops nor the troops of the powerful Gao family, but soldiers of the Dong family of Xiushan County in Dali.
Next came more than a thousand barbarians from the mountainous areas at the junction of Annan and Dali.
The remaining troops were either temporarily recruited peasant troops, or the broken troops gathered when King Zhiming was defeated.
This kind of mixed army can still charge with bloody courage in field operations, but it is absolutely impossible to attack the city first.
Seeing that the attack could not be taken for a long time, Dali general Dong Yicheng went to the rebel leader Shen Li and said: "Yesterday I received a letter from the county governor (Dong's hereditary Dali Xiushan county governor) urging me to lead my troops back as soon as possible. The Thirty-Seven Barbarians are ready to move again.
"
Shen Li was shocked and said: "How can the general withdraw his troops at this time and attack Shenglong Mansion in one go?"
"I dare not disobey the county magistrate's order," Dong Yicheng said.
Shen Li repeatedly asked to stay, but Dong Yicheng insisted on leaving.
The next day, Dong Yicheng fled with the elite troops of Dali. He was unwilling to accompany Shenli to attack Shenglong Mansion because he could not capture Beijiang Road City.
What's more, I heard that Ming troops were stationed in Sheng Long Mansion.
The captured King Zhiming defeated his troops a few days ago and has been dispersed and collected by them.
As a result, the morale of the army was greatly disturbed!
When those defeated soldiers were chatting, they preached everywhere about the strength of the Ming army. They said that a thousand Ming troops defeated 100,000 Annan soldiers, and only a few of them died. Each Ming army could ask gods to drop meteorites, which hit Du Yingwu ten times.
Tens of thousands of troops were in chaos, and a thousand Ming troops took the opportunity to rush in and win a complete victory.
The Shenli rebels were hesitant to believe it, but as everyone said so, they gradually began to believe it.
Now, the rebel soldiers only dare to attack Beijiang Road City, and are unwilling to follow their leader to kill Sheng Long Mansion.
Dong Yicheng left with hundreds of Dali soldiers. He made a lot of money this time by sending troops. Only dozens of soldiers were killed or injured, but they robbed countless goods and even kidnapped Annan civilians to help him transport them.
Only three days after the Dali soldiers left, Shenli received news that the Ming army was coming to kill him.
He was so frightened that he quickly led his troops to withdraw from the siege and retreated to Tiandefu City in the north of the Yangtze River. He planned to defend the city with the main force and let the troops from the rear continue to attack the city and seize the territory.
Han Jing didn't waste any time and directly took the artillery to attack the city.
He also asked King Zhiming Li Yangzhen to lead thousands of remaining soldiers across the river to cooperate.
"Boom boom boom!"
After two consecutive rounds of shelling, the defeated troops who were collected in the city became the first to panic.
They were defeated head-on by the Ming army more than a month ago, and they had already suffered a psychological shadow.
Unable to restrain the rebel generals, these soldiers hurriedly fled the city wall, causing other rebels to flee in confusion.
Tens of thousands of rebels heard the sound of cannons and ran around in the city in fear.
Some clever little ghosts took advantage of the chaos and shouted: "The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are coming!"
After shouting several times, more and more people followed, and then some people ran to attack the North City Gate.
These are the troops that Shenli brought from the north. They were working hard at home, but they were kidnapped as rebels for no reason. At first, Lien Chan and Lianjie's morale soared, and they really looked like veterans. As a result, they attacked Beijiang many times.
After Lucheng failed, these people began to think about going home.
The rebel north city gate suddenly opened, and countless rebels rushed to escape.
This situation was beyond Han Jing's expectation.
He only used twenty artillery pieces and fired two rounds in a row. How could tens of thousands of rebels abandon the city and flee?
"Capture the city!"
Han Jing took the opportunity to order.
King Zhiming was frightened by the rebels. He did not dare to lead his troops to seize the city. Instead, he ran around the city to chase down the defeated troops.
Soon, the west gate was also opened by the rebels, and countless defeated soldiers swarmed out, scrambling to escape towards their hometown in the north.
"Come back, come back all, and behead those who escape!"
Shenli, who had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, still didn't realize what was going on.
He fought so smoothly in the early stage. Relying on a few hundred soldiers borrowed from the Dong family of Dali, he successfully recruited more than a thousand barbarians on the Annan border. With these two thousand men, he was invincible in conquering cities and territories, and coerced the people along the way to become stronger. Then he
Defeated King Zhiming, collected prisoners and expanded the army to more than 30,000.
Schenley has completely swelled.
It expanded to the point of proclaiming himself an emperor and appointing hundreds of officials!
He felt that the Ming army was mediocre. Even if it couldn't be defeated in the field, it could definitely defend the city.
Why did his tens of thousands of troops collapse just as he started to defend the city?
Shenli had no advantage at all. The reason why he developed smoothly in the early stage was purely because Du Yingwu deployed a large number of Annan Dao soldiers in the northwest to fight Zhu Kang. This resulted in a vacancy in the local defense forces, and Shenli took advantage of it.
Fight all the way here.
Not to mention the Ming Army's combat effectiveness, Du Yingwu could beat the shit out of him.
"Your Majesty, the barbarians have also escaped!"
Shen Li turned around and saw that all the barbarians he had recruited fled towards the city gate.
The more than a thousand barbarians fled quickly. They had heard about the reputation of the Ming army. Several tribes next door to them had been beaten up by Yang Zaixing and no longer dared to cross the border to plunder.
Knowing that he could no longer reverse the situation, Shen Li led his soldiers to rush to the Tiande Mansion Office, intending to escape with his queen and prince.
I vaguely heard someone shouting: "The traitor Shen Li is over there. If you catch him, you will be rewarded!"
Shen Li turned around and looked around, only to see Yang Lian, the Taiwei he had conferred, leading his soldiers to fight from the side street.
Yang Lian was the deputy commander of the Annan Ten Army, similar to the deputy commander of the Xiang Army in the Song Dynasty. He was forced to surrender because he was outnumbered. He was the first regular military commander to join the rebels, so Shenli trusted him very much and hired him when he came to the throne.
He was granted the title of Taiwei.
??????55.??????
The Taiwei leads troops to kill the Emperor, what is the law of heaven!
Yang Lian led his troops to pursue him closer and closer, but Shen Li's soldiers were so frightened that they dispersed.
After a while, Han Jing led his troops into the city.
Yang Lian held up Shenli's head and knelt at the city gate to greet him: "The last general has killed the false emperor Shenli, the false queen, and the false prince have all been captured!"
King Zhiming Li Yangzhen was also very majestic at this time. He divided the thousands of remaining soldiers into several groups and sent them to the north and west of the city to pursue the defeated troops.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yangzhen had captured thousands of people and finally enjoyed the taste of an "ever-victorious general".
…
Thang Long Palace was officially renamed as Da Luo Palace.
Of the two counties in Daluo Prefecture, one was renamed Songping County and the other was renamed Jinghai County.
These titles all come from the Tang Dynasty.
It was Daluo City, the residence of the Jiaozhi Governor's Mansion in the early Tang Dynasty.
It is Songping County under the jurisdiction of the Annan Protectorate in the middle Tang Dynasty.
It was also the residence of the Jing Navy Envoy in the late Tang Dynasty.
Now, all three names have been restored: Daluofu, Songping County, and Jinghai County!
Many Annan officials did not understand what he meant because they did not know the history.
However, some scholars were greatly frightened by this and vaguely guessed that the Ming Dynasty intended to annex Annan.
"Great victory, great victory, great victory with the regent's heavenly weapons!"
"A hundred artillery fire fired, and one hundred thousand rebels were routed!"
"The Prince Regent is invincible!"
"..."
Five or six messengers held up cloths and ran around inside and outside the city shouting.
After hearing the news, the Annan officials breathed a sigh of relief. The rebels were finally wiped out. Those guys captured Tiande Mansion, which was less than a hundred miles away, which really made everyone panic.
The real Annan wise men are ashen-faced.
First eliminate the rebellious ministers, and then the rebels. Who dares to oppose the regent again?
Taifu Su Xiancheng, who was the first to stand up and oppose, has been executed by the whole family. He was accused of colluding with Du Yingwu to murder the late king.
The third censor Guo Ying who stood up to oppose was also executed by the whole family. He was accused of clinging to Du's thieves and betraying Zhongliang.
The second one...well, His Royal Highness King Zhiming is now the loyal lackey of the Prince Regent!
Su Xiancheng had several confidants who were arrested and imprisoned as remnants of Du thieves.
Two of them reported Su Xiancheng's collusion with Du Yingwu before being tortured. They were immediately released, and all were promoted to one rank for their meritorious services.
Su Xiancheng's other confidants were all executed!
…
Li was under house arrest in the palace and had no contact with the outside world for more than a month. She could not even see her son, the young king.
She didn't even know that she was remarried to King Yu of the Ming Dynasty.
"The royal father and the regent have arrived!"
Li was taken to greet him in a daze, and saw a handsome young man striding over.
"Queen Mother, this is the Ming Dynasty King Yu, His Royal Highness the Regent of Prince Annan," the palace maid reminded.
Mrs. Li quickly knelt down to greet you: "I pay homage to Your Highness!"
Zhu Kang did not help him up, but said: "Du Siwu, who came back with you, was executed by the whole family for murdering the king. For the sake of Empress Dowager Du, the Du family still kept one."
Li Shi was so frightened that she trembled all over and quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, forgive me, Your Highness, forgive me!"
Because she was so frightened, she even forgot to analyze the meaning of "royal father and regent".
This woman is both smart and stupid, and sometimes even has a negative IQ.
Historically, Du Yingwu was initially imprisoned, and ministers clamored to have him executed.
Li was afraid that her lover would starve in prison, so she sent someone to deliver food and coaxed her son to release her lover, only to give him the punishment of dismissal from office. Then he coaxed his son to give his lover a minor official. The young king was only fifteen or sixteen at the time.
Years old, he agreed in a daze, and no matter how many officials tried to persuade him, it was useless. For the sake of his lover, his son ended up being a puppet all the time.
Du Yingwu even sent his first wife to the palace to accompany Li, and the couple stayed together in the palace for a long time.
As the Queen Mother, Li was as close as a sister to her lover's wife...
Zhu Kang said: "The auspicious day of the zodiac is approaching, and I will officially accept you as the concubine of King Yu of the Ming Dynasty."
Li Shi suddenly raised his head in fear, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
Zhu Kang asked: "Do you want me to say it again?"
Li is a beauty addict, and her first reaction at this moment was to compare the looks of Zhu Kang and Du Yingwu.
Du Yingwu's skin is fair and as clear as jade.
Zhu Kang had been in the military academy for a long time, and his skin was a little tanned, which seemed to be a failure.
Their looks can be matched, both are very handsome.
In terms of height, Zhu Kang was completely defeated, and he had been trained in the military academy for a long time, and his physique was extremely strong and burly.
Perhaps due to psychological factors, Li felt that Zhu Kang had a kind of nobility, and that he was majestic in taking life and death, which made her subconsciously want to surrender and kneel down.
After repeated comparisons, Mr. Li became more and more satisfied with it, and when he thought that he was about to remarry, his heart started to beat fast.
"Haosheng is getting ready for the wedding." After Zhu Kang said that, he turned around and left.
Li asked hurriedly: "Your Highness, won't you stay here today?"
Zhu Kang didn't bother to pay attention and left the palace directly.
Li looked at his back and murmured to herself: "What a majestic man. He is worthy of being a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty. It would be a great achievement to marry him again."
This woman is a nymphomaniac and selfish. As long as she is well-dressed and well-fed, and she is coaxed into submission, she can completely ignore her country and her son. If the Ming Dynasty annexes Annan someday, and if her escape from wealth is arranged, Li estimates that
I can support it with both hands.
(The little king was beaten to be six years old in the previous chapter, but he is actually only two years old.)
