The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 719 Close the door and beat the dog (for subscription),
Daiwangfu is a large-scale vassal residence in the Ming Dynasty. The Daiwangfu is centered on three halls, covering an area of ​​19 square meters. There are more than 20 large and small palaces, more than [-] houses, and surrounded by walls several meters high. However, if soldiers and horses want to attack, they have to bring the stairs to attack the city.

Starting at about four or five o'clock in the afternoon on the seventh day of the seventh day, a large number of battalion soldiers gathered at Daiwangfu.

Beiguan general Zhang Chenghu arrived first, and he brought fifty family members and two hundred soldiers and horses.

He was a trailblazer, and when he arrived at the scene, he found that Ding Yi had also come earlier, but there were only forty people in Ding Yi's two teams of soldiers outside the door.

Ding Yi's soldiers didn't even wear armor, and they sat casually by the side, or chatted together in twos and threes.

Some people put their knives and guns far away, with grass in their mouths, bragging together.

Zhang Chenghu sneered in his heart, and said that Ding Yi was an elite soldier, and nothing more.

"Where's Chief Ding?" He stepped forward and asked.

"In the palace, let's discuss matters with the king." The soldiers said lazily.

He also didn't enter the palace, and came back to report to Jiang Guan and Wang Quan that Ding Yi was in the palace, and there were forty of his personal soldiers outside, and his personal soldiers were not as good as ours.

Jiang Guan remembered that Ding Yi's personal soldiers were relatively elite, so he must have had a look at the gate of the city.

But Zhang Chenghu said so, he thought that Zhang Chenghu put gold on his face, and he didn't take it seriously.

But he was still more careful. After thinking about it, he left Qianzong Zhao Wenhua and ordered him to lead a thousand soldiers, including Jiang Yu's five hundred family members, to stand by at Nanguan.

Wang Quan said with a smile: "Why is this so, does the surname Ding dare to fight with us in Datong Town?"

"Just in case, just in case." Jiang Yan smiled: "Let's go."

Jiang Wang and the two brought a large number of generals, guerrillas, and generals, each with two relatives and soldiers, and a group of hundreds of people marched to the street where the palace was located.

Then two families were left behind: "You watch from a hundred steps away from the palace, if there is something to do in the palace, immediately ride back to Nanguan."

"One person mobilizes troops from Nanguan, and the other mobilizes troops to other places."

"No." The two men led a horse and agreed immediately.

"Let's go." They walked towards the palace.

The guards of the Daiwang Mansion have been cut again and again by the court, and there are currently 200 people on the list.

Probably slightly more actually, but certainly not elite, these guards never fight and rarely train.

In addition to Ding Yi's forty personal soldiers at the gate, there are also ten royal guards.

Seeing them, the guards shouted, "Generals, please don't bring your soldiers inside."

Jiang Tuan came here alone without any weapons, so the other generals asked their subordinates to stay outside and unloaded their weapons.

After laying down their weapons, the generals entered the palace, leaving more than 100 Ding's cronies outside.

These people and Ding Yi's personal soldiers stood on two sides, and everyone watched each other.

Bang, the gate of the palace was closed heavily.
-
The two servants who stayed not far from the palace were leading the horse to a tree on the side of the street.

There were people coming and going on the street, it was very lively, and there was nothing unusual about it.

"The boss is really careful, this is our Datong Town." One of the servants said with a smile.

Another family member thought about it, and unexpectedly said: "The main surname Ding doesn't talk about martial arts, so he won't have a good reputation when he was stationed in the town of Denglai."

But if they knew that Ding Yi was in Xu Dabao, not to mention martial arts, and he would kill Zhou Yong and others, I don't know what they would think.

The two chatted for about a quarter of an hour, but there was nothing unusual, and they became more and more relaxed.

But suddenly, rushing, rushing, there was the sound of a large number of infantry marching far in front, and the sound of galloping horses was also sandwiched between them.

The two hurriedly raised their heads, only to see the two sides of the gate of the palace a hundred steps away, rushing, rushing, and a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared from east and west.

Immediately there was shouting and cursing at the gate of the palace.

"not good."

"Damn it." The two of them were out of their wits, and hurried back to look for the horse.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw five or six strong men in common people's clothes, looking at them with a smile.
-
The circumference of Nanguan City is 2.5 miles. During the Tianshun period (1457-1464), the governor Han Yong continued to build it. At that time, two cities, Dongguan and Liangguan, were built.

In the 13th year of Hongzhi (AD 1500), the Dongguan City was expanded. Although the Nanguan was not expanded, the original streets to the south were all enclosed in the Nanguan City area. Within a radius of 500 meters, there were no merchants or common people. expanded.

At this time, there are seven to eight thousand people inside and outside Nanguan City. The outside is where the generals and elite live, and the inner city is for ordinary soldiers.

There are small houses in the inner city, arranged in an orderly manner, each house is no more than ten paces long, and there are at least dozens of soldiers crowded inside, all of them have no beds and sleep on the ground.

Many people would get sick all year round, and many soldiers either retired from illness or ran away because of the poor environment and poor treatment here.

On the street outside the city, Chief Qian Zhao Wenhua is gathering troops.

Including Jiang Guan's five hundred family members, plus five hundred elite young adults.

Jiang Yu's servants came from Xuanwu Field. Everyone rode horses, and about half of them had iron armor.

Datong is already considered a rich town, but it still hasn't reached the point where everyone has iron armor. The main reason is that there are not many craftsmen here, and the cost of iron armor is high. Generally, cotton armor and chain armor are the main ones.

The last time Wang Pu led his troops out, thousands of family members all wore iron armor, but they were all wiped out in the battle of Songjin, and they also gave away all the armor accumulated in Datong Town.

"Listen well. The new general, Ding Yi, has always exploited his subordinates. Brother Yurou, Mr. Jiang asked us to prepare. If the surname Ding dares to force our salary, we can't survive, so we will fight him."

The soldiers didn't know whether it was true or not, they shouted and fought him.

Datong Town is considered a rich town, and there is no shortage of wages for the family members, and there is a small amount for the ordinary and strong, and the old, weak, sick and disabled can only eat their fill.

It is really impossible to survive if the higher-ups deduct more.

"Tell the brothers inside to also prepare, if something happens, they all have to come out."

"promise."

Zhao Wenhua called some generals and told them that once Zhao Wenhua led troops out, let these generals, along with those brothers who were not elite, set fires everywhere in the city and drive out the people, the more chaos the better.

All of them nodded their heads.

After this side is ready, everyone is fully armed and waits.

After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, some people got impatient and got off their horses one after another and sat on the ground.

Zhao Wenhua also felt that nothing would happen. How dare Ding Yi mess around in Daiwang's mansion?
He doesn't restrain his brothers, and the scene is getting more and more relaxed.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a strange sound came from the front.

The soldiers looked up.

I saw a lot of carriages coming from a distance.

People on the street are running.

"No, assemble." Zhao Wenhua yelled: "Quick, get on the horse."

Thousands of soldiers and horses behind him began to mount their horses in a panic, and some people ran to the southern gate of the inner city to call for more soldiers and horses.

However, on the street hundreds of steps ahead, large vehicles were turned across, completely blocking the street.

If their soldiers and horses from Nanguan wanted to go out, they had to go through this street. Now that the carts in front of them blocked the street, they had to kill them out.

Zhao Wenhua was shocked in his heart, and quickly called someone: "Go up to the roof and look at the city gate, how many people are there, and how many people are behind the cart."

From the top of Nanguan City, it can be seen farther and more clearly.

Immediately someone ran to the top of Nanguan City to take a look, gasped for air, ran down and said in horror: "The two rows of carts in front are blocking the street, fifty steps behind the carts are all artillery, at least dozens of them."

"Hiss." Zhao Wenhua felt his legs go limp and could hardly stand up.

How is this rushing?
At this time, the carriage in front was pulled away, and a rider rushed over.

After rushing dozens of steps away, he stopped.

Archers here are ready to draw their bows.

"Don't move." Zhao Wenhua knew that the person came with a message, so he quickly ordered not to move.

"Do you want to rebel?" The visitor sternly shouted: "The commander-in-chief didn't give an order, who told you to gather without authorization and put on armor?"

"This is the death penalty for the Nine Clans of Zhulian."

Zhao Wenhua and others almost died of anger.

This dog is still beating it up?
We gathered soldiers and horses, isn't it just to prevent you, Ding Yi, from not talking about martial arts.

But now it's really their fault. Who asked you to transfer troops without the consent of the General Soldier of Datong?

"Today is a practice every three days, and we are going to practice." Zhao Wenhua rolled his eyes and said quickly.

All the generals nodded.

"Put down the armor and come out one by one."

"..." Of course Zhao Wenhua couldn't do that.

"What did you do to Mr. Jiang?" He suddenly said loudly.

Now he has to consider Jiang Guan and the situation.

But Jiang Guan made an appointment with him that if he sent troops, there would be a family member to send a message.

But until now, no one has come.

"Jiang Yu is currently in Dai Wang's mansion, drinking and chatting with the Chief Soldier, I will give you ten breaths, if you don't put down your armor, you will be killed for the crime of treason."

After the man finished speaking, he turned around and ran, and quickly returned to the back of the cart.

Zhao Wenhua and the others looked at each other, of course they refused to surrender.

Just thinking about whether these people dare to fire.

Boom, there was a cannon sound from the opposite side, and a shell had already flown from behind the cart.

Whoosh, flew to their army hundreds of steps away with incomparable accuracy.

Bang, the shell exploded on the spot.

The fuze shell was still very powerful when it exploded in a dense crowd, and the surrounding people suddenly turned their backs and screamed again and again.

"Ah..." The soldiers frantically ran to the houses on both sides of the street, and many of them didn't want their horses.

Zhao Wenhua was dumbfounded and couldn't believe that Ding Yi's troops fired just like that.

Before he could react, boom, boom, the gunfire from the opposite side continued without hesitation.

"Damn it, fight them, let me go forward." Zhao Wenhua shouted loudly, and some elite servants followed him and rushed forward.

The cart was hundreds of paces away from them, halfway through.

Bang bang bang, the sound of gunfire behind the cart continued.

The crowd was mowed down like straw.

Regardless of the cavalry or infantry, they fell to the ground continuously.

This is both a cannon and a blunderbuss, they can bear it, and they collapse in an instant.

There was a scream in the crowd, and they fled in all directions, and no one dared to resist anymore.

Seeing them collapse, the cart on the opposite side was pulled away, and groups of musketeers walked out slowly.

Bang, bang, they walked a few steps, stopped and hit a wave.

After only two waves, the front row was cleared, and the back row knelt down and surrendered.

"Surrender, surrender." Zhao Wenhua's group didn't resist for a quarter of an hour, and they were directly defeated and surrendered.

At the same time, the Beiguan, Dongguan, and other inner cities of Datong Town, where there are garrisons, are all like this.

There was no gathering of soldiers and horses in other places. Basically, once Ding Yi's soldiers and horses passed by, they would be able to disarm them.

There was also a fight on the Nanguan side.

When Datong Town built the four small cities, it was mainly for the defense of the outer city, but it never thought of how to prevent the internal soldiers from attacking.

Ding Yi's soldiers and horses blocked the road and the street, the artillery was on top, and the guns were lined up side by side. It was completely crushing and massacring. Datong's soldiers and horses could only catch them with one hand.

Ding Yi rode a horse around the city before, just to see how to break up the cities, but it turned out that it was too simple, just block the entrances and exits of each city.

Of course, not all soldiers and horses are in the city. The frontier soldiers are disbanded, and many frontier soldiers will also hang out in the streets, or go out of the city for business.

There are more than 1 soldiers and horses stationed outside the city.

As long as Ding Yi controls the most powerful servant, it will be much easier for the others, and the stragglers and garrisons outside are also easier to deal with.

At this moment, Zhao Wenhua was kneeling on the ground and shivering, while a large number of cavalry came towards him.

All of them were kneeling on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Weapons and armor were thrown on the ground in a mess.

There are still a large number of dead and injured servants on the ground.

Because those who charged with him just now were basically servants.

Almost all the casualties were servants.

The battalions behind were thankful that they did not rush up.

"Get up, gather in the city, call everyone together." Fang Xinghan said sharply.

Zhao Wenhua got up quickly and led everyone into the city.

Behind them were heavily armored musketeers and pikemen, and the servants were gutted, and no one dared to move again.

Someone quietly looked at Ding Yi's soldiers and horses. The iron armor of Ding Yi's soldiers and horses was basically brand new and well-made, and the cold light bloomed.

When the infantry battalion of the brigade escorted them into the inner city, there was a clatter of armor, which was really eye-catching and shocking.

Only half of the servants at the scene had iron armor. After arriving in the inner city, most of the people gathered inside were old, weak, sick and disabled, and most of them were not strong.

Many people looked really jealous.

Fang Xinghan stood on a platform similar to Dianjiangtai to watch.

To the west of Nanguan are several rows of barracks, and each barracks probably accommodates a team (10 people).

A lot of densely packed barracks are connected together. He probably took a look, and these barracks should not be able to accommodate 6000 or [-] people.

Then I realized that people ran out of the house very quickly, and there were more than ten people in one room.

It was later learned that there were no beds at all, and the soldiers were all sleeping on the ground, so dozens of people could sleep in one room.

Moreover, this is the place where the elite and strong men can sleep first. Many old, weak, sick and disabled sleep outside, using the sky as their quilt and the ground as their bed, and they will freeze to death every year.

Here and there the soldiers are treated as human beings.

Therefore, many soldiers would rather go to the pier outside to guard, but the guards outside have to hoard the fields, which means they have to work, and the people inside don’t work, so some lazy people would rather not sleep in the house, but also in the city stay home.

Nanguan originally had 8000 to [-] people, but now at least [-]% of them were in the camp and did not go out on the street. Just after the war, they all hid in their barracks, and no one dared to come out.

Suddenly called assembly again, the scene was chaotic and procrastinated.

Zhao Wenhua was standing beside Fang Xinghan with his head bowed, thinking about something, Fang Xinghan said in a deep voice, "The soldiers and horses of Datong are so rotten? Will it take half an hour to assemble?"
