Ming Zuo

Chapter 1385 His death is also sudden

In Jingdezhen city, every household, everyone is plain.

The countless corpses carried down from the top of the city filled the streets.

But everyone has no fear, and their eyes are full of hatred.

The young and strong people still rushed to the top of the city one after another, desperately blocking the attack of the Ming army with the knives and guns in their hands, the stones they picked up, the hot dung water, and the thick wood.

Jingdezhen is the capital of porcelain, and the most people here are merchants and handicraftsmen.

All along, they have been exploited miserably by the Ming government, and they have no status at all.

The news of Xia Guo's arrival made the people of Jingdezhen cheer.

They spontaneously organized, captured the entire city, and declared their allegiance to Xia.

Their actions were attacked by Li Jiunian, the prefect of Raozhou, and the armed forces of local landlords.

Although the people of Jingdezhen have not received any military training, they have the determination to die and stick to the city with their lives and perseverance.

They held back most of the military force in Raozhou Prefecture and effectively cooperated with the actions of the First Division.

"It's just some untouchables, why can't they attack? If the delay continues, Xia Jun will call, and everything will be over."

Li Jiunian was restless.

He never imagined that Jingdezhen, which was defended only by the common people, would be so difficult to break through.

It's been five days. If you still can't fight, Xia Jun can attack at any time.

However, the local general of the Ming army in Raozhou is also a two-handed swordsman. He is skilled in drinking flower wine and visiting kilns on weekdays.But when it comes to fighting, he doesn't even know how many soldiers he has.

Just when the situation here felt more and more tense, there were messengers rushing all the way from the west.

"Master Zhifu, the Xia army has defeated the navy in a warship and has arrived at the city of Fucheng."

As soon as the news came out, everyone felt cold all over.

No one expected Xia Jun to come so fast, and he came from the rear.

"The navy is incompetent, can't they stop Xia Jun in the middle of the big lake?"

Li Jiunian's scalp was numb, so he hurriedly ordered.

"Stop fighting, retreat immediately, and return to Fufu City."

His relatives and belongings are all in the Fucheng, so nothing can be lost.As for Jingdezhen, I can no longer take care of it.

The vast majority of the Ming army were from Raozhou Prefecture. Hearing that the home in the rear was unstable, everyone lost their fighting spirit, so that the march back was very fast.

But even so, they still underestimated Xia Jun's combat effectiveness.

Just when Li Jiunian led his army to Dayang Port, half way away from Raozhou Mansion, he bumped into Xia Jun who was rushing head-on.

Although Xia Jun only had one battalion, he launched a fierce attack without hesitation.

What is a tiger going down the mountain!
More than 1000 soldiers of the Xia army didn't care about facing several times the enemy. Before the opponent had a firm foothold, they directly started to rush and fight.

They even played outflanking.

The Ming army with low combat effectiveness not only couldn't withstand the frontal attack of the Xia army, but when they heard the sound of guns from the flanks, they thought they were surrounded by the Xia army on all sides.

At this moment, the Ming army was completely panicked.

Everyone started to run away blindly, only hating their parents for losing two legs.

Li Jiunian was in the midst of the chaos, at a loss.

He is just a civil servant, how can he know how to fight?In the chaos, it is impossible to even issue orders.

Actually don't know what to do.

He could only run around with the chaos army under the protection of his staff and guards.

To the despair of the Ming army, even if they escaped, it would be difficult for them to do so.

Because in terms of running speed, they were no match for Xia Jun at all.

"Kneel down on the spot! Put down your weapon, hand in your gun and don't kill!"

Amidst the mighty and loud shouts of the soldiers of the Xia Army, hearing that they could survive, many soldiers of the Ming Army immediately threw away the weapons in their hands, and then knelt obediently on the ground.

After three hours, the battle ended.

Of the more than 5000 Ming troops, only more than 2000 escaped in the end.

More than 100 people died in battle, and nearly [-] were captured.

As for Li Jiunian, the magistrate of Raozhou, he was trampled to death in the midst of the rebellious army, beyond recognition.

This Ming army is the only resistance force on the east bank of Poyang Lake.

After they were wiped out, Rao Prefecture was completely captured by Xia Guo.

The Ming army who blocked the first division in Yushan heard the situation in the rear was completely desperate, and directly surrendered in Kaesong.

In this way, Guangxin Mansion also fell into the hands of Xia Guo.

Then Zuo Hua's troops were divided into two groups.

All the way down from the Jiujiang River, all the way west to Poyang Lake, and began to approach Nanchang.

Zuo Rong's first division swept Fuzhou and Linjiang, and went straight to Ruizhou.

After completing this mobile route, you can completely surround Nanchang Mansion with Zuo Hua.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Li Banghua's tribe in Jishui had already occupied the county seat and received more and more support. Zhao Xinji, the prefect of Ji'an, immediately announced his surrender.

So far, only Nanchang Mansion, Jianchang Mansion, Nan'an Mansion and Ganzhou Mansion are left in the whole of Jiangxi, which are still in the hands of Ming Dynasty officials.

But relying on these places alone, they can't last long.

But at this moment, what happened to Li Zicheng was exactly the same as that of the officials of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangxi.

After he captured the capital, the policies he adopted completely disappointed the landlords and gentry everywhere, and he regarded them as enemies.

Knowing that he was defeated by the Qing Dynasty and retreated all the way, the landlords and gentry everywhere immediately started rebelling.

Facing the pursuit of the Qing army, it was extremely difficult for Li Zicheng to deal with it.As a result, rebellions everywhere made it impossible for him to organize effective forces to deal with the Qing army.

And to say that the most harmful among them is Jiang Yu, the general soldier of Datong.

After Shanhaiguan was defeated, Jiang Guan did not follow Li Zicheng to act together, but withdrew to Datong alone.

When Li Zicheng was in a panic, he didn't think of notifying the Dashun defenders in Datong to guard against Jiang Tuan.

As a result, after Jiang Yu came back, he was warmly received by Ke Tianxiang and Zhang Tianlin, the defenders of Datong.

The two also treated Jiang Guan as a superior, defenseless.

Jiang Guan saw the right time, led his cronies to surround the commander's mansion, and beheaded Ke Tianxiang, Zhang Tianlin and other generals of the Shun army.

When Wu Weihua, the Gongshun Marquis of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, entered Shanxi, Jiang Yu immediately contacted him and surrendered in Kaesong.

Jiang Guan's surrender made the Qing army's actions on the northern front no longer hindered.

Azig began to speed up and went straight to the Yellow River, intending to outflank Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng originally wanted to stay in Shanxi for a period of time, summoning nearby soldiers and horses to build multiple lines of defense to delay the Qing army's attack.

Knowing that Azig had copied from the north, he had no choice but to return to Shaanxi.

From the start of the Eastern Expedition on the eighth day of the first lunar month to Li Zicheng's return to Shaanxi again, only five or six months passed.

Dashun, which was originally prosperous and flourishing, has entered the countdown.

This series of changes left the world dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that Li Zicheng, who was originally the most prestigious, would be the first to withdraw from the battle for the world!
