Chapter 1617 Champaign should not be a kingdom

After Fan Wenba said these words, Chaquan stood up, walked around, frowned and thought hard.

After a while, Chaquan seemed to have his own answer.

"Your thinking direction is really special. At least I didn't think about it before, but I can tell you the truth. I don't want to make the Champaign Kingdom become the Champaign Province of the Ming Dynasty."

"Wouldn't that work?"

Fan Wenba smiled and said: "Then, there is only one way to go, and we rely on our own strength to defeat the enemies outside the city. In this way, the Ming Kingdom will respect us, and we will also be able to obtain a larger bargaining chip after the war to fight against the Ming Kingdom. negotiation."

Chaquan did not respond to him, but talked about this matter at the meeting of the military group. In the end, the resolution was passed by three votes to two votes.

The new army left the city and attacked Zou Yana at night.

Maybe God was helping. It rained a lot that night, and the sky and the earth were dark. Zou Yana's army huddled in the barracks to drink, gamble, and bake fire to keep warm. They had no will or preparation to fight.

Even Zou Yana didn't have the will to fight. Listening to the sound of rain outside the tent, he drank a lot of wine and fell asleep early.

Taking advantage of the cover of the heavy rain, the soldiers of the new army touched the fire in the direction of Zou Yana's barracks, and fought a night attack that Zou Yana could not have imagined and didn't know how to think about.

As a result, Zou Yana's army collapsed across the board.

Only 2000 people from the new army touched it, and the effect of a sneak attack of 2 people was achieved. Zou Yana's barracks collapsed completely and quickly entered the state of bombing the camp. The new army did not kill many people at all. The main loss was Zou Yana's army. Killing and trampling each other.

Zou Yana herself fell asleep and was woken up by the loud noise. In the extreme chaos, his own guards were scattered. Only the "loyal" Yahai brought a dozen soldiers to Zou Yana and brought them with him. as he tried to escape from the barracks.

As a result, a cold arrow shot from out of nowhere hit Zou Yana's head very ghostly. Zou Yana died on the spot without saying a word.

Yahai was so frightened that the guards of more than ten people collapsed in an instant. Everyone scattered and fled together, no matter what, in the endless collision, trampling and cannibalism, few people saw the rising sun the next day. .

This night attack was too successful. Cha Quan, who personally led the battle, gained a high prestige among the new army. He led two thousand warriors to attack the camp of 2 people at night, and caused extremely beautiful casualties. Compare.

The loss of the new army was only more than 200 troops, while more than 2 of Zou Yana's army of 4000 people were captured, and more than 4000 people died in the riots of the night attack, and only more than 1000 people fled in all directions. day of birth.

The entire military camp was piled high with corpses and rivers of blood. The condition was extremely terrifying. Even if a normal person looked at it, he would be frightened to the core, incontinent, and left a lingering psychological shadow.

When the sky was bright, Chaquan and the more than 700 warriors who survived the night raid returned to the city to rest in extreme exhaustion, and Fan Wenba was given the task of cleaning the barracks outside the city.

That evening, after Chaquan woke up, he learned about Zou Yana's death from Fan Wenba's mouth, and saw Zou Yana's complete body with only an arrow in the head.

His eyes were still open, and he didn't seem to have expected his own death at all.

The generation of heroes who once stunned the situation in the Champaign Kingdom, seized the throne by means of conspiracy and violence, and established their rule, came to an end in this way, and it has to make people feel embarrassed.

And in the end, Zou Yana is also Cha Quan's uncle. For this blood relative who is on the opposite side, Cha Quan looked at his corpse and recalled various fragments of his childhood.

In the end, Cha Chuan sighed and expressed his last condolences to him, then burned Zou Yana's body with a fire, and scattered his ashes into the river.

Then, just before dawn the next day, Zhou Zhi, a pioneer general appointed by Zhang Yuejing, rushed over with three thousand cavalry.

He thought that he would be the key man in this battle, leading the Daming cavalry to defeat Zou Yana, but what he saw was a new army that won a great victory.

After Zhou Zhi consulted Chaquan about what had happened before, he sighed greatly, praised Chaquan for being good at training troops and able to bring out good soldiers, and informed Chaquan that the main force of the Ming army had been dispatched and could arrive in five days at most. Safe.

Chaquan thanked Zhou Zhi and immediately said that the Daming army was invincible in the world, but this time, it may not be necessary for the Daming army to take action in person.

Although there are about 2 troops coming from Bin Tonglong's direction, as long as he shows Zou Yana's head, Bin Tonglong's army will surrender without a fight.

Chaquan was full of confidence and sent someone to send Zou Yana's head to Bin Tonglong.

Zhou Zhi put forward his own suggestion, saying that the people who persuaded to surrender should go under the banner of the Ming army, so that they could tell Bin Tonglong's army that the Ming army was coming.

Chaquan thought for a moment and adopted Zhouzhi's suggestion.

Five days later, almost at the same time that Zhang Yuejing's troops arrived, Luan Rong, the commander of the Champaign army from Bin Tonglong's side, came down.

On the table, Luan Rong said that he never agreed with Zou Yana's rule, but was forced to follow him due to the situation. Now Luan Rong is willing to honor Cha Quan as the new king of Champaign, to be loyal to him, and will wait for tea in place. full command.

Whether to advance or retreat, you, the old man, have the final say, and I will listen to you.

Luan Rong is obviously a sensible person.

Zhang Yuejing and Zhou Zhi were not surprised by this.

Zou Yana died, Chaquan won. Behind Chaquan was Daming. Every Champaign should know about the power of Daming, especially a senior general like Luan Rong.

Confrontation is hopeless. You can only surrender to Chaquan to seek shelter, so that you can save your own life, etc., so it is not surprising to make such a choice.

A medium-scale war disappeared, Chaquan successfully mastered the main army of Champaign, and thus initially established his position in Champaign.

Nonetheless, this is only the first step for the Champaign, and some necessary steps are required for the Champaign to re-enter the state of a normal state.

Regarding the post-war status of Daming against Champaign, the five-member military group including Chaquan, as representatives of the Champaign Revival Branch, held a meeting to discuss with Zhang Yuejing, Zhou Zhi and others.

Zhang Yuejing conveyed the meaning of Su Yonglin, that is, Daming supports the independence of the Champaign State and establishes an independent and independent Champaign Democratic Republic.

"Da Ming is carrying out democratic reforms, and it is a matter of course for us people to carry out democratic reforms. If you want to gain a firm foothold in the Champaign state and fight against the tyrannical landlords all over the place, the only way is to mobilize the people, so you must give the people a foothold. various rights."

Zhang Yuejing and Zhou Zhi taught them all their experience during the revolutionary war period, and Cha Quan and others listened very carefully.

What they had learned before was military combat knowledge, and had no relevant knowledge of state governance.

I thought it would take some time to use it, but it turned out that the plan could not keep up with the changes. Now it is time to catch the ducks on the shelves. The Champaign regime must be built up.

Of course, Zhang Yuejing and Zhou Zhi on behalf of Daming firmly did not support the restoration of the kingdom system of the Champaign.

They believed that with the support of the current system and conditions of the Ming Dynasty, Champaign could gain a firm foothold even without the kingdom system.

It's just that during the chaotic period, due to the need to concentrate all efforts on suppressing the reactionary forces, Champaign can temporarily freeze the democratic system and form an emergency committee in the name of "education of government".

This committee was reorganized from the Champaign Revival Branch and holds all the power. The most prestigious leader, Cha Quan, can serve as the chairman of the committee. Although the status and power are equal to the king, the nominal difference is sometimes the essential difference. .

Su Yonglin is no longer an emperor, and you guys still create a king in Champaign, right?
In this regard, Chaquan is willing to accept it, he himself is not very interested in the royal power system.

But Fan Wenba raised an objection.

"Not being a king may seem like nothing to Daming, but from our actual situation, a guy like Luan Rong still has an army in his hands. If Chaquan becomes the chairman of the committee instead of king, what will he think? Will he immediately think? A rebellion?"
