The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 586 A New Strong Enemy Appears

After resting in their respective camps for two days, the Chang'an and Wendura troops in the Restoration Army began to approach Shengjing City.

Jia Lian's Fourth Brigade and the South Wendula Cavalry also marched eastward and approached Shengjing City. Together with the other two troops, they completed the siege of Shengjing City.

Chen Yeqing's third brigade, because there was no ammunition, waited at Guanxiangtunyan, waiting for the ammunition to be produced before setting off.

Three days later, the ironmaking furnace was successfully ignited once.That night, molten iron began to tap.The next day, priority was given to producing [-] rounds of shells.

Early the next morning, Chen Yeqing sent artillery to the city of Shengjing with shells.

The battle to attack Shengjing City has begun.

This time the battle was fought fiercely at the beginning, four hundred shells were fired in one breath, and the city wall was quickly lined up.

If you take the opportunity to attack at this time, you can easily rush into the city.

Strangely, after the bombardment, the Liberation Army did not launch an offensive, but a truce.

When it was almost noon, Chen Fatang, the governor of Fengtian Prefecture, sent his master to negotiate with Jia Min.

Jia Min was in Guanxiangtun right now, so he didn't see them at all.They wanted to see Chang'an, but Chang'an didn't see them either.In the end, Luo Xingshan came forward and told the other party that if they did not accept the negotiation, the Liberation Army would attack the city and wipe out all the defenders in the city.

The next day, Chen Yeqing stopped shelling, and Jia Lian's Fourth Brigade began shelling Shengjing City.

At noon, [-] cavalry from South Wendura rushed into the city, killed a circle, killed hundreds of people, and then came back on their own initiative.

In the afternoon, Chen Fatang sent his master and Sheng Jing's general Zhu Pianjiang to come together.

After General Shengjing died, General Shengjing became the highest military officer in Shengjing City. Currently, General Shengjing is in command of all Tianshun troops in the city.

Jia Min and Chang An still didn't see them this time, and Luo Xingshan came forward to deal with them again.

The envoy claimed to come to discuss the terms of dedicating the city, and presented a call to action issued by the Liberation Army as evidence.

"It's too late to dedicate the city at this moment. Shengjing City is dedicated or not. It's all ours."

"Luo Xingshan, don't be arrogant, we still have tens of thousands of troops in the city, at worst we will fight to the death with you."

"Zhu Pianjiang, Han Tiankui's 7 horses, we will destroy him as soon as we say, what can you do with your little people? In the current Shengjing City, I can enter as I want, and I can get out as long as I want, as long as 1 People and horses can be easily taken down. Don't you understand this situation?"

"What are you going to do? I've come here twice, but no one has come out."

Master is still bluffing.

"Didn't I tell you all last time? If you are above the seventh rank of civil servants and above the military garrison, you can surrender if you hand over your property and official positions. Remember, it is surrender. You are no longer qualified to negotiate with us."

"This condition is too harsh, and we cannot make the decision."

"You don't need to decide, go back and wait for the siege."

It was useless for the messenger to say goodbye, so he had to go back.

"It seems that they are still reluctant to part with official positions and property."

Looking at the backs of those people, Liu Huaide not only shook his head repeatedly.

"Hey, it's this time, and I still can't let go of those things outside of me, so I deserve to have no way out."

In the past few days, many soldiers have escaped from the city one after another. After the Liberation Army searched them, they saw that they were not carrying any valuables, so they let them go.

There were a few officials who brought some property, but it was confiscated, and even people were detained.

The next day, the Restoration Army began to attack the city, and with almost no effort, they easily rushed into the city and began to encircle and suppress the defenders on a large scale.

The defenders had already lost their fighting spirit, and as soon as they saw the recovery army, they surrendered one after another and handed over their weapons.

In less than two hours, the Restoration Army successfully occupied the entire city of Shengjing.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Zhu Pian committed suicide by committing suicide.

Chen Fatang, governor of Fengtian Prefecture, hanged himself in a secret room.When he was found, more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver were found in the secret room.

His concubine and master were also captured when they absconded with the treasure.

The recovery army immediately began to hunt down and search officials, and Zeqiu did not offend merchants, common people, and low-level officials.

Yamen at all levels were also accepted.

In the afternoon, Chang'an entered the city together with King Beijing and Bachelor Ji.

Chang'an issued an order to appoint Luo Xingshan as the governor of Fengtian.

Luo Xingshan immediately began to reorganize the yamen at all levels, and issued government orders to the surrounding counties under the jurisdiction of Fengtian Mansion.

For the Tianshun Army that had already surrendered, except for [-] people with relatively good physique selected to be recruited, the rest were handed out to send money, all of them were dismissed, and they left Shengjing City within three days.

At present, although the Beihai Volunteer Army and the Restoration Army have only occupied Ningyuan City, all the soldiers and horses of the Tianshun Imperial Army outside Shanhaiguan have retreated to the pass.

The current situation is that Jia Min's forces are confronting Tianshun's army across Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan itself is still under the control of Tianshun Army.

The remnants of Han Tiankui's Ningguta Army, the remnants of Dongping King's Xiaoqi Battalion, the remnants of the Guishun Army who were blocked by Jia Lian's Fourth Brigade, the remnants of the remnants who fled from Songshan Fort and Ningyuan, and the original defenders of Shanhaiguan, a total of 6 More than [-] people are currently gathered in Shanhaiguan.

They will be here to prevent the Liberation Army from entering the customs.

Although the number of [-] troops is quite large, almost all of them are defeated by the Liberation Army and the Beihai Volunteer Army, so their morale is low.

Their general belief is that the enemy is invincible.In particular, the firearms of the Beihai Volunteer Army are a nightmare existence.

Many of them have been completely scared, fooled, hurt, and subdued.

Although they are still in the barracks, many soldiers have long been prepared in their hearts, as long as the war starts, they will run away if they have the opportunity.

Contrary to the depression of the soldiers, the two big figures here, Song Kuan and Han Tiankui, don't seem to be depressed. On the contrary, they are still very happy and relaxed.

After Song Kuan arrived in Shengjing and persuaded Han Tiankui to send troops to attack the ammunition factory in Guanxiangtun, he left Shengjing and came to Shanhaiguan.

It wasn't because he had foreseen that Shengjing would be captured and came here to hide, but because he wanted to meet an important person here——He Anda.

He Anda comes from Hongshan, which is located on the Mogu Grassland. Today, the most powerful tribe in Mogu, the Nailin tribe, is in the area of ​​Hongshan.

The various tribes on the Mogu Grassland are very similar to the four major tribes in South Vendura and the Tatars in North Vendura. Although they all belonged to the territory and people of the Dade Dynasty before, they have always had relatively strong independence.The imperial power basically did not penetrate there.roughly in a state of autonomy.

Since the Tianshun Dynasty inherited the Dade's legal system, the status of the Mogu Grassland also continued.

In recent decades, the Mogu Grassland has been relatively peaceful.However, not long after the founding of the Dade Dynasty, the Mogu Grassland was not peaceful.

At that time, an outstanding tribal chief came out of the Mogu Grassland. It took him seven or eight years to unify the various tribes on the Mogu Grassland.

He felt that his power was strong enough, so he challenged the court of Dade, asking the court to make him king of Mogu, and establish a dynasty by himself.

This king has a higher status than the county king of San Francisco, and is at the same level as the King of Koryo. To establish a dynasty and establish a country, in fact, he wanted to break away from the court and obtain the status of a vassal state like Koryo and Jiaozhi.

At that time, the Dade Dynasty was not long after its founding, its military equipment was strong, its soldiers were strong, and the gang of heroes who founded the country were still there. Naturally, such a request could not be tolerated.

So he unceremoniously sent troops to crusade, and it took only half a year to beat the mighty Mogu people to the ground.

Jia Yan and Jia Yuan, the ancestors of the Jia family, once participated in this war.

Since then, except for some occasional border looting incidents, the Mogu Grassland has been relatively calm.

In recent years, due to the relaxation of Dade's armaments, the decline of the army, and the emptiness of the border defense, the Mogu people are ready to move again.

There have been more incidents of border looting, sometimes going hundreds of miles into the interior.However, they were all plundered and then withdrawn, and there were no other requirements.

However, this time is different.

Originally, they planned to wait a year or two before taking action, because they felt that if God Bless, the foolish king, toss for a few more years, their chances of success would be greater.

Tianyou abdicated and San Francisco won the world, so they gave up this idea for the time being.

However, Jia Min's sudden appearance beat Tianshun's soldiers into a mess, giving them another chance.

They feel that the time is ripe, and the ideals that were unrealized decades ago have a chance to be realized now.

Because Hongshan is relatively close to Shengjing and Shanhaiguan, the Mogu people had contact with Han Tiankui before, so they sent He Anda to negotiate with Han Tiankui first.

In their view, Han Tiankui is Han Tiandou's younger brother, and he can speak to Emperor Tianshun, so Han Tiankui is a suitable negotiator.

The Nailin tribe is the largest tribe of the Mogu people, and their opinions represent the opinions of the Mogu people, so they sent envoys.

There are several conditions for them.

One is to seal the king and become a vassal state.

The second is that the Great Wall is the boundary between the two countries, and the land beyond the Great Wall belongs to the Mogu Kingdom.

The third is to liberalize border exchanges, allow free trade, and no longer control strategic materials such as salt, tea, pig iron, and spices.

In return, the Mogu people will dispatch 20 prairie cavalry to help the Tianshun court put down the rebels.

The so-called rebels here refer to the troops of Jia Min, Chang An and He Jialin.

Of the three main conditions put forward by the Mogu people, the third one is not too difficult to operate.

Regarding the matter of trade and exchange, it has always existed before, but it is only under the control of the court.

Despite the controls, things like smuggling and smuggling have always been banned.

When Jia's mansion was raided earlier, Jia Amnesty was charged with smuggling pig iron with foreign feudal lords, referring to the smuggling activities with the Mogu people.

In fact, it wasn't just Jia Amnesty, many officials and nobles at that time were doing this kind of business.

Therefore, if the Tianshun court agreed to this, it would not cause much controversy.

However, speaking of the first two, it is very difficult to implement them.

Especially in the second article, the territory beyond the Great Wall was given to the Mogu people, and almost half of the entire northwest territory was handed over to others.

Such conditions are undoubtedly very extraordinary.If he agrees, how will the Tianshun court explain to the people of the world?
At present, this matter has not reached the emperor, and it is only limited to the level of Han Tiankui and Song Kuan. However, their attitude still has a great influence on the emperor.

Will they agree to the terms of the Mog people?
