The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 182

Shanxi, which has been drought for a long time, ushered in a rain.

Patter, patter, clatter, non-stop.

Li Zicheng, who was lying in the tent, only felt that the air was sticky and could not sleep because of tossing and turning.

Sudden drought and sudden rain made him extremely uncomfortable.

The rain hit the tent, crackling and ringing non-stop.

He stood up from the bed and walked to the door of the tent.

Open the curtain, bring a stool, and watch the rain outside.

I have never been so confused, not knowing where my tomorrow is.

Even the previous battle of Tongguan was clearer than today.

The rain falling from the sky fell on his face.

The eyes gradually blurred.

Wiping the rain off his face, he sighed long and hard, "Zhang Xianzhong didn't reply, neither did Gezuo Fifth Battalion. I'm afraid the situation is not good!"

The rain in Shaanxi is heavier, and the concrete road from Xi'anfu to Tongguan has been built.

With so many captives in hand, it was much faster to build concrete roads.

During the heavy rain, hundreds of trucks, carrying soldiers and food, headed for Tongguan.

It was raining non-stop, and a canopy was put up on the carriage.

The soldiers sat in the carriage, motionless, quietly listening to the sound of the rain outside.

In the cab, the co-pilot soldier kept shaking the wipers.

In the hazy world, a long dragon was heading towards Tongguan.

Sun Jie drove a truck at the end of the team.

Chen Hu was sitting in the co-pilot, his arms seemed to be attached to the engine, shaking the wipers crazily.

"My lord, the rain is too heavy!"

Chen Hu yelled and changed another arm.

There were a lot of smiles on his face: "However, this car is really nice. It's raining so hard, and it can go without fear of getting caught in the rain."

Sun Jie replied a few words casually, gripped the steering wheel tightly, stepped on the accelerator, and the speed increased by a few points.

A few wisps of black smoke emitted from the gas furnace in the compartment, and the speed of the car suddenly increased.

The sky and the earth began to brighten, and two bronze kneeling statues appeared on both sides of the road.

One looks like Haug, and the other looks like Dodo.

Familiar people know that the two bronze statues are real people.

They face north, with their hands bound behind their backs, and kneel down.

The car passed in front of the bronze statue, emitting wisps of exhaust fumes.

In bursts of roaring sound, gradually drifting away.

The rain fell on the bronze statue, washing away the sins.

It's just that the sin is too deep, and the rain of the world cannot wash it away.

The car drove safely and smoothly on the cement road, and when dusk came, it finally arrived at Tongguan.

If you follow the previous marching speed, let alone rain, even if it's sunny, you won't be able to arrive in a day.

The number of the army is too large, and it is necessary to recruit civilians to deliver food.

The scene now is unimaginable before.

The vehicles drove into Tongguan, and the army began to gather at Tongguan.

After the rain stops, they will cross Tongguan and head towards Shanxi.

Sun Jie came to the city wall and looked east at the Yellow River.

In the heavy rain, the Yellow River is full of momentum.

The turbid water of the Yellow River is rolling eastward with monstrous momentum.

"Nine bends of the Yellow River and thousands of miles of sand, the waves wash away and the wind blows from the end of the world. What a Yellow River!" Sun Jie repeatedly sighed.

The Yellow River always makes people feel heroic.

It's the same with Sun Jie, he can't avoid this rule.

Under the scouring of heavy rain, Tongguan City became more majestic.

On the opposite side of the Yellow River is Li Zicheng who is sad.

Obviously the situation is much better now than it was back then, but Li Zicheng is still not happy.

He looked in the direction of Tongguan, his brows were furrowed, and his mind was worried.

The rain will stop eventually, and it has been raining for three days and three nights, and it finally stopped.

The water on the Yellow River has risen a lot, and the torrential water is surging against the embankment.

Sun Jie's soldiers finally started to cross the river.

Before crossing the river, dozens of drones hovered across the river, taking a panoramic view of the surrounding situation.

The natural moat of the Yellow River could not stop Sun Jie from advancing.

In two days, all the soldiers and horses crossed the Yellow River.

This time, [-] troops were dispatched, and all the regular troops were dispatched.

In Shaanxi, the city defenses were all taken over by the reserve forces.

The reserve army is only inferior to the regular army, but it is much stronger than most soldiers and horses in this era.

Forty thousand soldiers and horses are divided into three groups: front, middle and back.

[-] soldiers ahead, led by Zhao Dading, as the forward.

The [-] soldiers on the middle road were led by Sun Jie and Chen Hu's deputy.

There are [-] soldiers in the rear, led by Liang Wu, as the rear army.

These [-] soldiers and horses marched mightily towards the north.

Before dispatching troops, Sun Jie asked Sun Chuanting to draft a call to action to spread the message to Shanxi.

Li Zicheng got the news first.

Li Zicheng, who was still asleep, was woken up by his nephew Li Guo. Just as he opened his eyes, he saw Li Guo standing at the head of the bed, frowning.

Before Li Zicheng could ask a question, Li Guo spread a piece of rice paper in front of him.

"Uncle, Sun Jie is calling!"

Li Guo's words directly made Li Zicheng lose all sleepiness.

In a jerk, he jumped up from the bed, he didn't even bother to put on his clothes, so he hurriedly took the piece of paper in his hand.

This is a paper with a call to arms written on it. It was discovered by Li Guo this morning when he was collecting grain in Taiping County.

Now Li Zicheng leads troops and horses stationed in Linfen and Taiping near Pingyang Mansion.

Li Zicheng looked at the content above, his face darkened to the bottom.

"This, this, this, they really came here, they really came here!"

Li Zicheng was at a loss.

"Uncle, what should we do now?" Li Guo panicked.

"What to do, what to do, what else to do, of course it is to run, is it possible, but also to meet the enemy?!"

Li Zicheng was at a loss.

No matter how much he thought about it, he still didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

It was so fast that he didn't have any chance to react.

He didn't want to fight against Sun Jie, he couldn't even beat the official army, let alone Sun Jie who defeated the official army.

"Pass my order, the army will move out, all the way to the north, all the way to the north!"

Li Zicheng slapped the manifesto in his hand on the bed and shouted.

Li Guo didn't dare to delay, and hastily conveyed the news.

However, Li Zicheng still had a high opinion of his team.

A whole day has passed since the order was issued, and the team still has no response.

These coerced people came with their families, iron pots, furniture, ladles and bedding, and the orders were not clear. If they want to move completely, it is as difficult as going to the blue sky.

Li Zicheng was so anxious that he repeatedly gave orders to escape, but no one moved.

In desperation, he had no choice but to throw away the large army, and fled northward with a small army.

As for where to go, Li Zicheng still doesn't know.

Because you can't go to the south, you can't go to the east, so you can only go all the way to the north.

Not long after Li Zicheng ran with his cronies, the striker led by Zhao Dading caught up.

All of a sudden, there were nearly [-] more people, and Zhao Dading was dragged to the same place in an instant.

There is no other way but to send a small group of troops to pursue them first, and keep the large troops to recruit the people.

These people are bachelors, and they won't leave when they get together there, and they won't leave if they say anything.

He was just an ordinary person, he was tortured enough by Li Zicheng, and now he met Sun Jie again, so he couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north.

The people in this era basically don't know any words, and most of them are very numb, and they are just passively arranged by others.

In Shanxi after the heavy rain, the roads are muddy, incomparable with concrete roads.

These common people were sent to Sun Jie's central army by Zhao Dading's team in the midst of difficulties.

This was arranged by Sun Jie. These people will temporarily stay near the Chinese army, and after the fighting in Shanxi is over, all of them will be sent back to their original places.

It took a long time to deal with these people.

After about seven or eight days, Zhao Dading's vanguard finally arrived at the city of Pingyangfu.

Just when the battle was ready to attack the city, a white flag was raised on the top of the city.

The prefect of Pingyang Prefecture led the army and civilians in the city to surrender to Sun Jie.

It's okay to deal with Li Zicheng and others, but they don't have the courage and ability to deal with Sun Jie.

The imperial army is no match, how can they stop Sun Jie?

Now the general situation in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty is over, and a change of heaven and earth is just around the corner, and there is only one way to die if you resist stubbornly.

The Pingyang Mansion was taken down without bloodshed, and at this point, the entire city of Pingyang Mansion fell into Sun Jie's hands.

Sun Jie did not advance in a hurry, but rested in place, and at the same time sent Liang Wu to march eastward to attack Zezhou and Lu'an Mansion.

There is nothing special about Zezhou, and it is no different from other places in Shanxi.

But this Lu'an mansion is different, Lu'an mansion is the fiefdom of King Shen.

The fiefdom of Zhu Mo, the first king of Shen, was originally in Shenyang. In the sixth year of Yongle, Zhu Di moved it to Lu'an Mansion in Shanxi.

King Shen is not as good as King Qin and King Jin, but he is also a well-known wealthy family on this three-acre land in Shanxi.

The palace, which has been passed down for nearly 300 years, has an unusually rich family background.

Sun Jie would not let go of such fat and oily places.

Liang Wu went through five passes and killed six generals all the way, without any difficulties, he entered Lu'an mansion, and the soldiers pointed directly at Shen Wang's mansion.

With almost no difficulties, Shen Wangfu was taken by Liang Wu.

These fat-headed and big-eared children of the Zhu family are really like fat pigs, without the slightest ability.

The guards in the mansion were also the goods of foreign powers. After hacking a few people to death, they all threw away their weapons and surrendered in a proper manner.

All of Shen Wangfu's [-]-year-old family property fell into Sun Jie's hands.

Zhang Xianzhong, who was in Zezhou next door, also set his mind on King Shen, but before he could act, Sun Jie took the lead.

The news that Lu'an Mansion was captured by Sun Jie reached Zhang Xianzhong's ears instantly.

He also had eyes and ears in Lu'an Mansion, and when Liang Wu led the troops to attack Lu'an Mansion, he had already fled.

Without any resistance at all, he led his soldiers and horses all the way south to the Central Plains.

Liang Wu took Zezhou again without any effort.

So far, the south of Shanxi has all fallen into the hands of Sun Jie.

After leaving behind the soldiers who maintained order, Sun Jie led the soldiers and horses to continue northward.

After hearing the news of Sun Jie's arrival, the thieves near Taiyuan Mansion, like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, ran away and headed north.

He had no intention of resisting at all, for fear of being caught by Sun Jie.

In order to be able to escape, he even threw away all the captured people.

In order to delay them as much as possible, these thieves even scattered the people all over the place.

Sun Jie came all the way, and he hardly fought with the thieves, basically he was trying to win over the common people.

For the city in the south of Taiyuan Mansion, Sun Jie didn't use any means at all.

Most of these places are waiting for the wind to surrender, and of course there are some who would rather die than surrender, but after being bombarded by a round of artillery, they are all honest.

The journey was smooth and smooth, and finally came to Taiyuan Fucheng.

As the largest city in Shanxi, it didn't fall on the wind like other cities.

Wu Wei, the governor of Shanxi, mobilized the people in the city to defend the city.

Wu Zhen is a good official, although he is not as famous as Sun Chuanting and others, but he is still a rare good official.

He did not wait and see the wind like other cities, but chose to live and die with Taiyuan City.

In order to be able to defend the city of Taiyuan, Wu Tong went to the Prince Jin Mansion to ask for help, hoping that the Prince Jin Mansion could provide some money for recruiting troops.

The current king of Jin, Zhu Shenxuan, is a master of nothing. To expect him to give money is tantamount to pulling out the feathers of an iron rooster.

In history, when Li Zicheng attacked Taiyuan, he surrendered to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng took him to the capital, and when Jianu came, he surrendered to Jianu again.

In the beginning, Jiannu treated him courteously in order to stabilize the world and people's hearts.After Jianu had completely stabilized himself, he was completely useless and was killed by Jianu.

Wu Tong talked about everything in the Prince Jin's mansion, but he didn't ask for a dime.

Most of these vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty were penniless and greedy.

Whether it is the original history or the present, in the end it is cheaper for others.

In the past, Li Zicheng was cheaper, but now Sun Jie is cheaper.

The penny-pinching King of Jin forced Wu Zhen to raise money from the gentry in the city.

Most of the gentry in the city did the same, they just gave Wu Zhen some money symbolically.

Not to mention recruiting soldiers and buying horses, feeding livestock is enough.

These gentry are about the same as King Jin, and they are all masters who don't pull out a hair.

Expecting them to give Wu Zhen money is tantamount to going to heaven.

In their view, this city is not just their city.

Regardless of whether they give money or not, Wu Tong will keep it.

If so, why give it?
What else can Wu Zhen do?I can only bite the bullet.

This morning, the sky is clear and bright.

Zhao Dading stationed troops outside the city of Taiyuan Prefecture and shouted to the head of the city to surrender.

Wu Zhen directly refused to surrender, and even sent someone with a loud voice to insult Sun Jie.

Seeing this, Zhao Dading didn't want to delay any longer.

"Order artillery, target the city gate, bombard me, I want to see how different Taiyuan Prefecture can be!"

Zhao Dading stood in front of the team, looked at the Taiyuan Mansion in front, and said to the staff behind him with a gloomy face.

The staff officer quickly conveyed Zhao Dading's order.

After a few breaths, the sound of rumbling cannons sounded on the spot.

The shells, with a whistling sound, headed towards the city gate.

After several rumbling cannons, the city gate was breached.

Following Zhao Dading's command, the soldiers behind him filed in and entered the city.

On the top of the wall, Wu Zhen's face was ashen, looking at the soldiers rushing in, he felt sad.

Facing the north, kneel down and worship.

"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, the minister did not stop the grandson thief, the minister did not stop the grandson thief!"

Wu Xuan wept bitterly.

After crying, he tidied up his clothes, walked to the edge of the city wall, and prepared to jump off.

His entourage had quick eyesight and quick hands, and dragged him back.

"My lord, you must not commit suicide!" the attendant shouted hastily.

Wu Xuan scolded: "I have the responsibility to defend the city. Now that the city is broken, I can only die for the country with my own body. Don't stop me!"
