Daming: From the end of Hongwu

388 Chapter 386 - Ming Xie Army and City Defense Map

after one day.

Zhen Wu received the fast horse battle report from Zhang Fu. Last night Tan Zhong personally led the team pretending to be a defeated army and successfully sneaked into Jiling Pass. Zhang Fu who was outside took the opportunity to attack Jiling Pass at night. With the tacit cooperation of the two, In the middle of the night, Jiling Pass was successfully captured.

Since then, the army has reached many states, and there is almost no danger to stop.

Zhen Wu was not surprised by this result, but Zhang Fu and the others took Jiling Pass so smoothly, which still made Zhen Wu quite happy.

Afterwards, without wasting much time, Zhen Wu led his army to march towards Jiling Pass.

And just as the army was slowly walking towards Jiling Pass.

The Ming army was unstoppable. Within a day, the news that they broke through the pass and stayed at the two passes of Jiling also drifted into Duobang City like snowflakes, which made the entire Duobang City feel a chill from the cold winter.

Speaking of Duobang City, the road to this city is smooth. Once it is breached, the Ming army can go straight to Thang Long, the capital of Annandong, which is the capital of Hanoi in later generations of Vietnam. The capital was moved to Thanh Hoa, the western capital, but Thang Long has been the capital of Annan for most of the thousands of years, and it has a special meaning in the hearts of the people of Annan, and it must not be missed.

But Thang Long is not a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. His defense often comes from the Dubang City outside him. If Thang Long is compared to a beautiful woman, then Dubang City is the dress outside Thang Long. , Once this dress is taken off, it is self-evident what kind of consequences it will cause.

Zhen Wu believes that in this world, there are very few people who really just can't get in.

This is also why Annan has such a saying since ancient times that "go down to many states and the king of Yue surrenders". Li Jisuo is obviously aware of this, so after offending Daming, he not only personally led a heavy army to defend the many states, but also sent His two most trusted generals were also arranged in Duobang.

Ruan Feiming and Li Wei.

These two people, one on the outside and one on the inside, control most of Annan's soldiers and horses. Their positions are equivalent to the left and right governors of the five armies of the Ming Dynasty. They are both leading figures in the military.

But today, these two unanimously asked Li Jisha to kill Du Sheng.

Because Du Sheng, a pro-Ming faction, after learning that Daming passed two tests in one day, began to advocate that Daming was invincible, which made the already turbulent Duobang City even more panicky.

"Your Majesty, Daming's army is already under pressure. How will we be determined to fight if we are not firm at this time? Is it possible that we will surrender the city?" Li Wei said with an angry face.

Ruan Feiming also said at this moment: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is the end of the matter, and the only thing left is a war. Please, Your Majesty, behead the person who moved our army's heart to show the public, so as to show the heart of the deadly war."

Li Jishu looked at Du Sheng, Du Sheng was jumping and angrily reprimanding Ruan Feiming for killing Daming's soldiers and provoking Ming's crusade. He also said that the turmoil in Annan today is all due to Ruan Feiming, and Ruan Feiming should be beheaded. Show friendship.

Ruan Feiming dismissed Du Sheng.

a long time.

Li Jishu sighed, he really didn't want to kill Du Sheng, who had followed him for a long time, but now Du Sheng still didn't understand the situation, and he had no choice but to kill him if he hurt his army's morale.

"Come on."

Li Jisuo said with a gloomy face: "Pull Du Sheng down and beheaded to show the public, and tell everyone that whoever says that Daming is invincible will be punished without mercy, and another order is sent to the three armies. Fighting to the death, I hope the soldiers of the three armies will fight the enemy bravely and defend the country."

A sergeant came out, captured Du Sheng and retreated outside.

Du Sheng looked at Li Jishu in surprise, and when he saw that Li Jishu was coming for real, he jumped up and cursed: "You are a fool, you can't fight, but you want to force a fight, and you will kill my innocent soldiers in Annan's army." , Second, if you harm our people in Annan and add another military disaster, you will be reviled by future generations through the ages, and you, for a momentary bloody battle, raised your troops against Ming Dynasty, you will definitely regret it."

Li Jiyao's face became even more gloomy, and he, who was still a little bit reluctant, became hard-eyed for a while.

As Du Sheng's voice became smaller and smaller, Du Sheng gradually disappeared into the hall. After Li Jishu calmed down a little, he turned his head to look at Ruan Feiming and said, "At present, Daming has broken two barriers in a row, and the momentum is coming." The threat is approaching Duobang, in your opinion, what should we do?"

Ruan Feiming seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and Dang Li said: "Da Ming labored on an expedition and was not able to fight for a long time, but our Duobang city is hard and tall. We should stick to the city and wait for the Ming army to exhaust itself before trying to fight back."

Speaking of this, Ruan Feiming looked up at Li Jishou and said: "First, we can build more heavy trenches under the city, densely covered with bamboo thorns, and mobilize more defensive objects, grain, grass, bows and arrows in the city, so as to keep the city-state for a long time. Or, there are Xuanjiang River, Taojiang River, Tuojiang River, and Fuliang River outside Duobang City, which can be used as natural dangers. We can cut trees along the river and build water villages densely, and put crossbars at the river mouth to prevent the Ming army from crossing the river. A long distance is enough to exhaust the spirit of the Ming army."

"Correct."

Li Wei also said at this time: "We can think of more ways, in a word, to prevent the Ming army from advancing smoothly, and drag the Ming army down bit by bit. As long as we drag it down, we will definitely win. "

The words of the two of them also made Li Jiyan more confident.

Then several people began to discuss with each other, the more they discussed, the more excited they became, as if they had seen the dawn of victory as they discussed.

While they were discussing, Zhen Wu led the army to pass through Jiling Pass and arrived at Qin Station again. In the evening of that day, Zhen Wu and Zhang Fu arrived at the place where Huang Zhong and the others were ambushed last time.

"This is indeed a good place to lay an ambush." ​​Zhen Wu sighed.

Zhang Fu nodded and said, "Ruan Feiming has a good vision, but that's not important. The important thing is that we'll be in trouble later."

They came out this time not on a whim, but to report that the road from Qin Station to Duobang City was basically destroyed.

Zhen Wu and the others took advantage of their free time to investigate in person.

It doesn't matter.

The results that could be seen made Zhang Fu and the others vomit blood.

The roads in Annan, a place where birds don't shit, are not wide at all, and most of them are mountain roads. They were ruined by Annan's people in a mess, and there is no way to march.

You must know that marching with a large army is the most troublesome. It is not as convenient as when there are few people.

However, Zhen Wu was not affected by this incident, instead he smiled and said: "It's okay, let the soldiers fix the road, it's nothing more than going slower."

Zhang Fu was a little worried: "But this way, I'm afraid it will give Duobang City more preparation time."

Tan Zhong, Zhu Rong and others frowned when they heard this.

Seeing this, Zhen Wu couldn't help laughing. After laughing for a while, Zhen Wu looked at Zhang Fu and the others and asked, "What's the matter? Give them more time to prepare, so you don't have confidence?"

"How is that possible." Tan Zhong curled his lips in disdain and said: "Some local chickens and dogs, give them a lifetime, and they don't want to stop me from Daming, it's just that it's somewhat uncomfortable."

Zhen Wu nodded, but then his expression turned serious and he continued: "The battle of Duobang City is bound to be a decisive battle between us and Annan. As long as we win this battle, the overall situation of Annan's entire battlefield will be settled. The twists and turns are irrelevant, so it is not easy to rush forward, and there is nothing wrong with slowing down. Besides, we have to wait for Mu Sheng and the others. The two-way encirclement of Duobang was originally a strategy set before. If we rush forward, Li Jishou seizes the opportunity , What should we do if we defeat each one? Of course, this kind of situation is unlikely to happen, but we should also be more careful."

Speaking of this, Zhen Wu said in a deep voice: "When you should be anxious, be anxious, and when you should be slow, you must slow down. Don't get carried away by one or two victories, understand."

Zhang Fu, Tan Zhong and others leaned over at the same time and said, "Jin listens to the general's instruction."

Zhen Wu nodded, and after a brief thought, he patted Zhang Fu on the shoulder and said, "After attacking Duobang, you should think about it these days, and you will command when the time comes."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present was taken aback.

Zhang Fu looked up at Zhen Wu, and said in surprise, "General, this..."

"I believe in you, just do it boldly." After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go back."

Zhen Wu had considered this matter carefully. Since he planned to let Zhang Fujiu take control of Annan, it was time for him to pave the way for Zhang Fu.

Several fast horses galloped past on the road, startling the birds in the forest to fly together.

……

In the days that followed, Zhen Wu and his army did not move fast, but they slowly broke through the city along the way, and gradually arrived at Jialin County in the north of the Fuliang River. It has become a trend of attacking many countries from the north and the south, and the protective measures taken by Li Jishu and others on Fuliang and other rivers have also reached the ears of Zhen Wu and the others.

On this day, Zhen Wu was writing the next battle instructions to Mu Sheng when Pei Boqi suddenly came to him.

Pei Boqi was quite famous in Annan, so Zhen Wu would not let Pei Boqi take advantage of it, so after entering Annan, Zhen Wu asked Pei Boqi to appease the people who surrendered, and at the same time let him send letters to friends, wanting to let Pei Boqi Pei Boqi raised some youngsters for him.

But the facts have proved that no matter what age, that nation has this kind of bastards. Pei Boqi not only cultivated a few bastards, but also formed a Ming Xie army in the territory that Zhen Wu had laid down along the way.

The Ming Xiejun, as the name suggests, was to assist the Ming army in attacking Li Jisha, and assisting the Ming army in governing the captured counties.

And although this Ming Association army is a little servile in front of the Ming people, it treats their own people like the king of heaven and Lao Tzu.

Zhen Wu also specially summoned some generals in this Ming Xie army, as if they had received great honors, after seeing Zhen Wu, they flattered and shouted Long Live the Ming Dynasty, making Zhen Wu always think that Others call him Taijun's sense of sight.

It's his grandma's.

He almost thought he was the villain.

However, Zhen Wu also understands that if they want to rule Annan, they must promote the local people and support them to become a new interest group. In this way, these people will also support the rule of Ming Dynasty for their own benefit.

Therefore, Zhen Wu still attaches great importance to Pei Boqi's affairs, now that he heard that Pei Boqi wanted to see him, he should even ask Cheng Liang to bring Pei Boqi in.

Contrary to what Zhen Wu expected, Pei Boqi did not come alone this time, he brought three people with him.

Zhen Wu looked at Pei Boqi suspiciously.

Pei Boqi introduced: "Duke, these three are well-known local people, this person is Deng Yuan from the Deng family of Sandai Prefecture, and these two are Mo Sui and Mo Yuan from the Mo family of Nance Prefecture. , they have a big gift to send."

The Deng family?Mo family?
Zhen Wu suddenly understood that this should be Annan's gentry's house. Speaking of which, the people in a country can be divided into several categories, such as royal lords, aristocratic and wealthy families, and ordinary people. Those who make the country turbulent are people from aristocratic families and wealthy families. They are rich and famous. When they cause trouble, they pose a greater threat than ordinary people.

A smile appeared on Zhen Wu's face, and he greeted: "Sit down quickly, sit down quickly." As he spoke, Zhen Wu turned his head and told Cheng Liang: "Go and bring the good tea I brought from home, and let everyone taste my tea." tea."

Cheng Liang went away in response.

Zhen Wu looked back at Pei Boqi and the others and continued: "My tea is called Longjing tea, which is a newly researched tea, and you should not be able to drink it in Annan. I asked His Majesty the Emperor Ming to taste it before, Your Majesty. It was also full of praise.”

When Pei Boqi and the others heard this, joy appeared on their faces.

One is that he can taste good tea, and the other is because of Zhen Wu's attitude.

The two brothers Mo Sui and Mo Yuan took the lead and said to Zhen Wu, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao. I am lucky to be able to taste the good tea from Mr. Zhao, so I will not hide it from Mr. Guo. Although only the three of us came here, many of my friends, including me, have expressed their hope for Master Wang and want to do our best for Master Wang."

After speaking, Mo Sui took out something and handed it to Zhen Wu, and continued: "This is the defense list in Duobang City. I and the seven families worked together to find it out. I hope it will be helpful to Master Wang."

Zhen Wu took it over and looked at it. He was shocked when he saw it. The defense system of Duobang City was recorded in detail in this roster. If this is true, it can be said that Li Jishou has been sold out.

But this...

Zhen Wu became a little suspicious. He knew that every time a country was in crisis, he would go abroad to be a thief, but the national thief in Annan was too fierce.

Seeing this, Deng Yuan said: "Don't doubt it, the Duke of the country. You can try to verify the information. We are all the people of the king of Chen. Before the Hu thief was powerful, we had to follow the thief, but now we are finally looking forward to the king. Master, I want to help Master Wang."

Pei Boqi also said at this time: "Duke, don't worry, I can guarantee with my head that brother Deng and the two brothers Mo are trustworthy people, otherwise I wouldn't bring them to see the duke, and the Hu thief did it before. The tyrannical government has already provoked the anger of the heavens and the people, and it can be said that our great Ming army has been expected by everyone."

tyranny?

This word instantly reminded Zhen Wu.

What is tyranny?
This is very simple, whether it is Daming or Annan, ordinary people always have no right to speak, judging harsh or benevolent governance is often judged by those aristocratic families.

But ordinary people and aristocratic families often have the opposite perception of benevolence and harshness.

Because the aristocratic family enjoys the right to exploit ordinary people, once benevolence is given to the people, this interest of the aristocratic family will be easily violated, so for them, the rulers are naturally imposing tyranny.

Zhen Wu had studied Li Jishou, so he naturally understood that Li Jishou had violated the interests of many nobles, so it was not difficult for Zhen Wu to understand why they were so popular.

Afterwards, Zhen Wu exchanged pleasantries with them.

It's been a long time.

Only then did Pei Boqi take the three of them to leave, and after Pei Boqi and others left, Zhen Wu fell into deep thought.

Fighting a war is never something that can be easily explained, and there are always various intertwined interests hidden in it. It is indeed a good thing for them to have these aristocratic families to help them at this stage, but after they defeat Li Jishou, they will not be able to Let these people influence them to rule Annan.

After all, people are innocent.

If Ming Dynasty wants to rule Annan, being kind to the people is the best way for long-term stability, otherwise ambitious people will always incite the people to riot.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu suddenly wondered whether Annan's turmoil in later generations was due to the people's hardship under the rule of Ming Dynasty?Or the uneven distribution of benefits?

No matter what, Annan couldn't keep rebelling in this life. After thinking about it, Zhen Wu called Zhang Fu over.

After Zhang Fu came over, Zhen Wu directly threw the defense system of Duobang City to Zhang Fu. After a brief glance, Zhang Fu said pleasantly, "Where did the general come from? With this thing, I can guarantee that we will win without a doubt." .”

Zhen Wu waved his hand and said, "The authenticity of the content has not yet been determined. You can send someone to check it out later. The main reason why I called you here today is not to talk about this matter."

"Then the general asked me to come?" Zhang Fu asked.

Zhen Wu thought for a while and said: "You also know that many people from Annan have attached themselves to them recently, and some great families have also appeared one after another. At this stage, we have to fight Li Jishu. We cannot fully investigate the nature of these people. After Bangcheng was taken down, you selected some people who committed crimes for me, and hacked up and ransacked their homes in public."

Zhang Fu was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding what Zhen Wu meant, but he still nodded in agreement.

In Zhang Fu's mind, it was enough to kill Li Jishou this time, as for what happened to Annan, it was none of their business.

Zhen Wu sighed and said: "We are teachers of justice, so we must do righteous things. Once Li Jishou is unable to resist us, we must start to clean up some people with bad reputations and fish meat, even if they provoke them again. We don't hesitate to make big troubles, but it doesn't matter if we rebuild Annan from the bottom up, we must not think that Annan is not our own, and just let some illegal phenomena go, understand?"

These words were serious, and Zhang Fu couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Wu reminded Zhang Fu: "We are here in the name of avenging the Chen family, but after the Hu family is destroyed, what if we can't find Chen's descendants to inherit the kingdom? We must know that Chen Tianping is the only A descendant of the Chen family who survived was killed by Li Jishou and the others, do you think we have to re-elect a King Annan?"

hiss.

Zhang Fu took a breath, realizing this problem for the first time.

Zhen Wu smiled and said: "The place of Annan, if I remember correctly, was Jiaozhi County in the Han Dynasty, and Annan Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty. We have made such great efforts to destroy Li Jishou. It’s reasonable to take some benefits.”

hiss.

Zhang Fu took another breath.

It turned out that Annan wanted to take care of his own affairs, so he couldn't let some people do evil.

"Okay, it's fine if you know these things, don't gossip around, I'm telling you this today just to make you mentally prepared for it, the most urgent thing is to take down Duobang City, do you have an idea?" Zhen Wu said.

Zhang Fu nodded and said: "There are a few, but now with the city defense situation, I think it can be improved and try to be as foolproof as possible."

"Well, then you go and prepare. After you are ready, discuss with me in advance, and then discuss with the generals."

"promise."
