Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 152 This Great Ming Liao King Knows Avatar?
Lan Yu was sitting in the military tent, just outside the camp, and the king's banner of Liao King Zhu Qi could be seen everywhere.

Along the way, Lan Yu came here under the banner of Liao King Zhu Qi according to the plan formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Naturally, Sapphire did a good job of keeping the secrets secret. Even the elite soldiers of the Ming army guards who gathered along the way thought that they were following His Highness King Liao to fight Liao territory.

Not to mention that Naha sent out the scouts over there, not to mention that Lan Yu deliberately released the news that His Royal Highness King Liao was the general.

As expected, Naha fell into the trap.

Sapphire was right, and she would be eager to get back some face from His Highness Liao Wang when she shouted.

That's why we first attacked the city with cannons, and then sent 3000 people around the back as bait.

As expected, Naha was fooled, and immediately sent people over to arrest the 3000 people.

Sapphire, as a battle-tested warrior, is really skilled at feigning defeat to lure and ambush halfway.

Even if Naha Chu didn't underestimate the enemy, Sapphire still had other ways to lure him out.

Not long after, the [-] cavalry from Beiyuan were scattered, and less than [-] of them fled back. It can be said that they suffered heavy losses.

After Sapphire got the good news, she didn't look too happy.

Because the key battlefield of the third Northern Expedition was not in western Liaoning.

No matter how powerful he is, unless Naha surrenders, or directly abandons the fortress on the battlefield in western Liaoning.

Otherwise, even if one by one is blasted by cannons, it will not be able to finish in a short time.

And the longer the time drags on, the more it will hurt both sides.

The key still depends on the battle situation on the Liaodong Peninsula. As for the Liaoxi side, it is enough to hold Naha out.

………………

When Sapphire heard the good news and was planning the next battle.

At this time, Naha Chu, who was inside the fort camp, was happily waiting to hear the good news.

However, what he waited for was not good news. Instead, out of the 5000 cavalry sent out, less than 1000 escaped back.

The rest were either killed or scattered and taken prisoner.

Those 3000 people who went around the back road turned out to be soldiers set up by the other side to lure the enemy.

Naha suddenly realized that he had been tricked.

He slammed his fist on the table angrily, and said to the left and right:

"I'm careless. I didn't realize that Zhu Qi, the king of Liao, has some skills. It seems that I have to spend eight times to deal with him!"

Although Nahachu suffered a loss, he only felt that he had suffered a loss because he underestimated the Liao king Zhu Qi at first.

But as long as he defends himself strictly, the Liao King Zhu Qi certainly has nothing to threaten him.

So what if you have cannons, can you bombard me day and night for dozens of days?
Gun barrels are not easy to make these days, and shells are also not easy to make.

The artillery wear rate is high. As far as the current level of strength is concerned, it is estimated that the annual output of artillery will not be a hundred.

However, in reality, this is impossible to do, and craftsman technology is the most important aspect.

Not everyone can make artillery.

Naha made up his mind to start defending the city, so he dragged it hard to see who can drag the other.

So on the battlefield in western Liaoning, the Ming army and Naha's army fought on a small scale with only a few thousand people.

In the next few days, everyone is a sit-in battle.

No one moved on either side, and the Ming army just fired two shots for nothing.

In this way, after three days of procrastination...

Naha was in the commander's mansion, watching the military report sent from Wang Baobao.

Naturally not good news.

Originally, he was expecting Prime Minister Wang Baobao to send troops to help him, but he didn't expect that Xu Da was so brave.

The King Liang, who is entrenched in Yunnan, has joined forces with Anduo's Tuyuan State Division to take back Qinghai. After all, there are only less than [-] Ming troops on the opposite side.

Unexpectedly, they would collapse at the first touch. The so-called [-] coalition army was beaten to pieces.

As for Prime Minister Wang Baobao on the northern line, the situation was not much better.

Fu Youde took the lead in launching the attack. At this time, he was in the Monan Grassland, chasing Wang Baobao like chasing a rabbit.

Wang Baobao wanted to repeat the old trick and lure Fu Youde to Mobei.

Then Fu Youde suffered a loss last time, can he still be fooled this time?

Just fight in Monan, not going anywhere.

From time to time, I returned to the Great Wall to rest and recuperate, which was called being cautious.

It seems that it is unrealistic to expect reinforcements, but it doesn't matter, it is still in the stage of stalemate, as long as the stalemate continues, the victory will eventually belong to us Dayuan!

"Report! General! Something is wrong! The Ming army has entered Liaodong!"

Nahachu was looking at the map with full confidence, but suddenly he heard someone shouting loudly outside the general's mansion.

With a look of disbelief, he brought the man over and asked loudly:

"What did you say? The Ming army went to Liaodong?!"

The person who conveyed the military information hurriedly nodded and said:

"I just got the news that Shizikou has been occupied by the Ming army!"

Nahachu hurriedly looked at the map. The Liaodong Peninsula was behind him, and the Great Ming Liao King Zhu Qi was in front of him. He shouted in disbelief:

"How did the Ming army pass by? Can't they fly over? I have [-] to [-] Ming troops on my face!"

But the man hastened to say:

"It's Zhu Qi, King of the Liao Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, who came from the sea with a lot of Ming troops!"

"maritime?"

Naha was taken aback for a moment, and then asked another question:
"What did you say? Who brought the Ming army here?"

"Ming Liao King Zhu Qi!"

Naha is so stupid, how many Ming and Liao kings Zhu Qi are there in this world?

Didn't this Liao king Zhu Qi confront him in the west of Liao?When did you go to Liaodong?
Could it be that this person is really descended from the stars, with three heads and six arms?

………………

When Nahachu was still shocked by Liao King Zhu Qi's disappearance, Zhu Qi had already rushed to the city of Liaoyang with a large number of people.

From Shizikou, no, it should be called Lushun Port now.

Starting from Lushun Port to the city of Liaoyang, there was basically no resistance in the towns or county towns encountered along the way.

But anyone who saw the flag of the Ming army either abandoned the city and fled, or surrendered directly.

The one who surrendered directly belonged to the night. The Ming army rushed to the city, but they hadn't found it yet. The county magistrate opened the door and surrendered without any ambiguity.

Zhu Qi naturally dealt with these surrendered people based on the policy of preferential treatment for prisoners.

For the cities captured along the way, only two or three hundred people were left behind, and some low-level military officers were arranged to discuss with the local gentry and villagers to manage them together for the time being.

Of course, such a governance plan is only temporary. After the western and eastern Liaoning are opened up in the future, it is natural to carry out a unified management of officials.

However, the two or 300 people that Zhu Qi left behind were not just to maintain law and order.

Maintaining law and order is one thing, and more importantly, it is to appease the people.

Calling along the way, Zhu Qi also found that Beiyuan still had a certain degree of control over the thoughts of the people in the Liaodong area.

At least these Han people, after seeing the Ming army who were also Han people, all of them were quite afraid, and some even ran away with their belongings.

People's hearts are a very important thing, so whatever you say, you have to do well.

As for the means of gaining popular support, there are many.

First of all, the first step is to copy the house.

Didn't those officials and generals abandon the city and flee?They can run away, but not much property can be taken away.

He directly took someone to copy it, and by the way, also copied the granary.

Copying the granary is of course not a supplementary military use.

Relying on the supply line at sea in the Bohai Sea, the Ming army would not say that it was short of food. The stocks stored in the Beiyuan government were just used to distribute food.

People regard food as their heaven, and whoever gives them food is God!
Of course, apart from these practical benefits, the rest is to put up big-character posters and arrange people to publicize the goodness of the Ming army everywhere, and that the Han people in the world are one family.

Liaodong has been a part of China throughout the ages.

There is no need to mention these publicity propaganda.

Relying on Zhu Qi's hands, there were winds and clouds all the way down, pushing all the way, and I didn't see anyone who disobeyed.

In just three days, it has been pushed all the way from Lushun Port to the city of Liaoyang.

Under Liaoyang City, they met Beiyuan's first resistance.

The defeated Yuan army fled all the way to Liaoyang.

If we say that the Beiyuan generals I met before were all low-level idiots.

Then the guard in Liaoyang is Naha's confidant general, Tuomi.

This person is also a little famous in history, and he is one of the fierce generals under Naha's command.

In the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he was also known as the Prairie Warrior.

This Liaoyang is an important town in eastern Liaodong, so there must be no loss.

After Liu Yibing was defeated and died, Naha sent Tuomi to take over Liaoyang.

This procrastination also lived up to the trust, and now the defeated armies from all directions have flocked to Liaoyang, and brought news of the arrival of the Ming army.

Tomi's first reaction was not to run away, but to arrange manpower to notify Naha to come out, and at the same time organize defenses to fortify the wall and clear the field.

It is the intention of defending Liaoyang to the death and stalling for time to wait for reinforcements.

Zhu Qi came to the city of Liaoyang with soldiers and horses, and saw that the city of Liaoyang was tall and strong, and he could tell at a glance that it was a fortified city that was not easy to conquer.

Zhu Qina really didn't have much experience in things like siege.

Fortunately, a plan has been made before, what should we do if we encounter resolute resistance when we arrive at the city of Liaoyang.

According to the discussion of Liu Bowen and others, attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top.

Most of the people who stick to Liaoyang are Naha's general Tuomi, and Liu Bowen has also met him several times on the battlefield.

The evaluation of him is the eight words "brave and good at fighting, eager for quick success and instant benefit".

Liu Bowen had predicted earlier that if Tumi would fortify the walls and clear the country and stick to Liaoyang, at this time Zhu Qi would have to reveal his identity and show his weakness to the enemy.

If Tuo Mi saw that the Liao King Zhu Qi of the Ming Dynasty was right under his nose, and there was a big opening in the Ming army, he would most likely be hooked.

The difficulty lies in how to sell this flaw in a simple and clear way without letting the enemy notice the inadequacy.

And the time is limited, if Naha sent reinforcements desperately, they would not have much time.

Adding up the front and back, in ten days, Liaoyang City must be taken.

The first step is to reveal your identity!

On the first day when the soldiers approached the city, Zhu Qi wore shining armor and held a shining banner, and then arranged for people to go down to the city to shout, and he said in one sentence:

"His Royal Highness King Liao of the Ming Dynasty, respectfully invite General Tuomi to speak!"

"His Royal Highness King Liao of the Ming Dynasty, respectfully invite General Tuomi to speak!"

When the two armies are facing each other, if the commanders of the two armies want to talk, they usually send envoys to each other.

Or just like now, directly arrange people to shout under the tower, call the other party to the tower, and then shout out what you want to say.

In this case, it is nothing more than yelling curse words, the purpose is to force the Lord General to become angry and go out of the city to fight.

Since Zhu Qi wanted to reveal his identity, he naturally had to stand in a conspicuous place so that this Tumi could see him.

At this time, the soldiers in front were shouting, and Zhu Qi, the commander, was riding behind them, and a row of soldiers beside them were carrying shields and raising the king's flag.

This position is not only a safe distance, but also allows the Tuomi to see himself.

Sure enough, with this procrastinating character, when he heard the screams from below, he couldn't bear it, and immediately walked up to the city wall with a machete.

Seeing that their commander was so brave, those Northern Yuan soldiers even ran to the city wall to show their faces. They were no worse than the Ming Liao King who was on the opposite side.

Everyone's morale soared.

Na Tuomi came up to answer the question, on the one hand, it was for morale, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see if this person was the King of Liao of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the Liao King of the Ming Dynasty is too amazing. In the past two years, I have been hearing the name of the Liao King of the Ming Dynasty, the Liao King of the Ming Dynasty every day.

As soon as he climbed the city wall, he could see from a distance the front of the opposite army formation, a young man riding a tall horse, covered in golden helmet and armor, and a lot of banners of King Liao beside him.

Isn't this battle the King of Liao in Ming Dynasty?

Toumi quickly made the surrounding soldiers shout:
"The King Liao of the Ming Dynasty is not superhuman, he is just a little boy!"

The soldiers quickly shouted the original words.

Zhu Qi shouted again:
"His Royal Highness Liao Wang heard that the general is brave, and is willing to treat the general with a high position, and ask the general to abandon the dark and turn to the bright!"

Tomi laughed as soon as he heard it, and made the soldiers shout:

"If you want to fight, just fight, don't talk too much!"

After all, he went down the city wall without looking back, and let people beat the drums, which boosted morale.

As soon as Tomi turned around and went back, a counselor behind him hurried over and said:

"General, the man under the city should be Liao King Zhu Qi, that's right.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qi was so courageous that he dared to challenge the general single-handedly. "

Tomi rolled his eyes and said:

"He's not alone. Judging by the number of troops below, there may be tens of thousands of people. The defenders in our entire city and those who came to defect to us are less than ten thousand."

Having said that, nearly [-] people are defending the city, so they naturally have a big advantage.

Tuomi was not in a hurry, but thought that the Great Ming Liao King was below, and couldn't help itching.

If he can go down and capture him alive, what a credit!
I heard that Prime Minister Wang Baobao gave a death order to take the life of the Liao king Zhu Qi, and said that he must be the confidant of Dayuan in the future.

It's just that the enemy's situation is unknown now, so it's better to be safe.

Tommy sighed inwardly, thinking so.
