A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 392 The trend of unification is unstoppable
Soon after, when the guards of Zhangde Mansion sent sentries to investigate the situation, the place where the battle broke out was nothing but chaos.

Unwilling to give up, they searched around again, but still could not find the person they were looking for. In the end, they could only report the truth to the guard.

Combined with the words of the soldiers who successfully escaped under the cover of night, he finally came to a fact that made his hands and feet feel cold.

The emperor of Dashun really died in battle.

……

"The Dashun Emperor Wang Chongzu died on the spot, and his left prime minister Gu Junen also committed suicide to show his loyalty."

"The prince of Wang Chongzu and a large number of Dashun's ministers were all captured."

Reading the news in the newspaper, all the people couldn't help but be stunned.

They vaguely remembered that not too long ago, this newspaper published news about Dashun's Northern Expedition to Beizhili and the capture of Beijing. At that time, Dashun was so majestic that it was unbelievable that such a huge change had occurred in just one year.

The emperor was defeated and died, and the prince was also captured. This meant that this dynasty was only one step away from its demise. No, or it could be said that this dynasty had already perished.

He was a little distracted.

At the beginning, the officials were confused. There were almost no high-ranking officials left in Luoyang. Most of the important court officials had gone to Beijing. Later, they came back with Wang Chongzu. As a result, they were almost wiped out in the previous battle.

Zhang Xianzhong sighed and made arrangements.

Dashun, who has such a powerful military front, cannot defeat Dahua, let alone them. Is there really no hope?
Even Li Dingguo, the most gifted commander among the four adopted sons of Zhang Xianzhong, dare not say that he can defeat the Chinese army. Even if they collide head-on, they will definitely lose more than they win.

How could you not feel happy?

Unexpectedly, he won and lost quickly, and everything was lost in such a short period of time.

You can't sit still and wait for death.

Now Dashun is on the verge of ruin. When Dashun is annexed, Dahua's power to dominate the world will be completely formed.

And after Dashun was destroyed, it was Daxi's turn to face Dahua.

……

Luoyang City inevitably fell into chaos because Emperor Dashun and the prince were both dead and captured.

Zhang Xianzhong and his ministers were a little shocked and a little desperate.

When Dashun captured Beijing a few days ago, he really thought that the world was about to be taken over by Wang Chongzu.

"Send envoys to Luoyang to talk to the Dashun court and discuss forming an alliance to jointly resist the Chinese army...if they can still form order."

Of the dozens of leaders of the families who had made the uprising, there were now only a handful of them left. Among them, most of the remaining ones were still under his command, and only he and Wang Chongzu had reached the top.

The news spread wider and wider, and Daxi's side also knew about it.

"Wang Chongzu is dead..."

Fortunately, Wang Chongzu also had a younger brother, who had been crowned king by his elder brother. He originally stayed in Luoyang, but he played a role at this time.

The Great China Dynasty paid unprecedented attention to the people. Under the rule of the Dahua Dynasty, their rights and interests were guaranteed and they would no longer be bullied by gentry officials. Their children also received extensive rights to education. The more prosperous Dahua is, the better their lives will be. good.

Zhang Xianzhong's intelligence system is not very strong, but this matter has been spread all over the country. He has no choice but to know.

However, their faces soon showed a look of joy again.

So he was elected as the new Emperor of Dashun by the courtiers who stayed behind, and these remaining courtiers also became important officials in the new dynasty, directly ranking as first- and second-rank officials.

On the surface, the new court has been organized.

But this is of no use.

Dashun as a whole is on the verge of collapse. Repeated attacks caused almost all of their main forces to be lost, especially the group of veterans who followed Wang Chongzu when he became emperor. Almost all of them had died in battle. The largest proportion of the current Dashun army is actually the army that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

And the number is not large enough to stop them at all.

The money in Luoyang City's treasury was not abundant, and even the ceremony for the new emperor's enthronement was sloppy.

The most important thing is that the Chinese army followed soon after.

In line with the principle of taking advantage of your illness to kill you, Yan Chengfang's army left an army to continue to occupy some remaining cities in Beizhili - there was no need for too many troops, and most of the cities surrendered, although some were quite capable. The notorious landowners and gentry planned to fight to the end, but no one supported them and they were quickly killed.

Yan Chengfang personally led the First and Seventh Armies and went south to attack the new emperor in Luoyang.

The Shun army almost collapsed at the first touch.

Soon after, the Chinese army arrived at Luoyang City.

……

"Everyone, what should we do?" Wang Chongzu's younger brother, the newly appointed Emperor Dashun, was sitting on the throne, somewhat at a loss.

Who would have thought that he would face such a crisis just after he ascended the throne.

If I had known earlier, I might as well have acted inappropriately. The Chinese army arrived too quickly.

Facing the emperor's inquiry, the ministers in the hall had no idea. Dashun's core ministers have been wiped out in one sweep. The ministers now in the city were all originally staying in Luoyang. They are not high-ranking officials themselves. They are here entirely because of Conglong's meritorious service. If you ask about their abilities, they are nothing compared to Not as good as the original group of people.

"You can abandon the city and move south to avoid the danger temporarily." A minister said.

"No. We should stick to the city and call on the troops from all over the country to serve the king..."

Some ministers put forward different suggestions, but others soon refuted them.

The court was a mess.

There were even a few people quarreling in the court.

Zhang Xianzhong's envoy stood in the corner and watched the scene in front of him, sighing secretly.

When he arrived, he saw that the new emperor had ascended the throne. He was still a little happy in his heart, thinking that order had been restored in Dashun, and if the two sides united, it might be possible to resist Dahua's attack.

Now that I think about it, it's just wishful thinking.

Even he himself was considering whether to return to Huguang to resume his duties.

Nowadays, no one can resist Dahua's military front, and Daxi... seems to be a matter of time.

Why don't you just surrender here?

He couldn't help but think about the feasibility of this move.

On the other side, the Chinese army had arrived at Luoyang City, but before they could attack the city, the city gates were already wide open.

The discussion of the Dashun courtiers was meaningless at all, because some people had already regarded them as their own merits.

When the Chinese army arrived, these people united and dedicated the city.

Both those who advocated moving to the south and those who advocated staying firm were all defeated in one fell swoop, including the new emperor of Dashun.

Within dozens of days, two emperors were captured.

This time, Dashun was really at his wits end.

The unification of China is unstoppable.
