Chapter 1031 Breaking the Army
According to Yan Li and Zhou Yuanlang's suggestion, Zhao Kai posted a notice announcing that no one other than Tong Jian and Ma Cheng would be held accountable for the fault of welcoming the traitor Zhao Li.

After posting this notice, Zhao Kai went to guard the coffin of Emperor Daxing, and never asked about the affairs of the court.

During the few days when he was guarding the spirit, Prime Minister Yan Li, together with the great eunuch Liu Yi who was imprisoned and suffered a lot of flesh and blood, and the officials of the Hanlin Academy, successfully destroyed the Emperor Daxing who was destroyed by Zhao Li and others. His will was restored.

Three days later, civil and military officials respectfully invited Prince Zhao Kai to ascend the throne outside the Zhaoming Hall, which was the emperor's mourning hall.

His Highness the Crown Prince wept unceasingly, insisting that he would not accept the high position, no matter how civil and military officials knelt down to beg him, he still insisted on not accepting it, and even got angry, saying that all the officials wanted him to be the emperor, so he smashed his head to death in the spirit of Daxing Emperor forward.

The civil and military officials really have no choice but to give up temporarily.

The next day, all officials came to Zhaoming Palace again to invite the crown prince to ascend the throne.

The prince still flatly refused.

On the third day, all the officials came to invite him again, and Zhao Kai burst into tears. As a last resort, he took the throne in front of the spirit of Emperor Daxing, and became the new emperor of Daqi.

After the Son of Heaven came to the throne, he first presided over the funeral in person, sent the old emperor to the imperial mausoleum, and then began to share the fruits of victory.

The prime minister, Yan Li, was conferred the title of prince and grand teacher, and took charge of the meeting hall. He became the first Han prime minister to be in charge of the meeting hall since the founding of Daqi.

You must know that before this, even if Master Zhu Li entered the meeting hall later, he would be ranked in front of Prime Minister Han and become the head of the meeting hall.

The new emperor's uncle, Lang Yan, was named Marquis of Yiyong, and he was in charge of the three major battalions, namely the forbidden army near Yandu.

During this mutiny, Zhou Yuanlang, who served as King Wei's "conspirator", entered Zhongshu, and changed from a general to a civil servant.

Although only a seventh-rank Zhongshusheren was given, but after Zhongshusheren, the five characters of walking in the meeting hall were added, and the addition of often serving the emperor was almost a prime minister on the surface.

General Tu Yuan and General Zhou Shizhong, because of their meritorious service in rescuing King Qin, both received awards and titles.

At this point, Daqi's throne turmoil seems to have come to an end.

However, because the position was not particularly upright, after Zhao Kai became emperor, he did not let the army brought back by Zhou Shizhong and Tuyuan immediately go south to resist the Northern Expedition of the Southern Dynasty. battalion, mixed together, disrupted organization, and reorganized.

What's more, although King Qi Zhao Li was put to death, King Qi's family members were still there. In a few days, I will leave Yandu and go to Chenliujiufan.

Although this kind of treatment was extrajudicial, almost everyone in Yandu knew that once King Qi's family left Yandu this time, they might never have the chance to come back.

However, the new emperor's benevolence to Qiwang's family does not mean benevolence to the Tong family and the Ma family. The Tong and Ma families were implicated by the two prime ministers.

In the following period of time, Zhongshu Sheren Zhou Yuanlang, together with General Lang Yan, began a wave of ruthless cleansing of the court.

In the process of cleaning, in order to ensure the stability of the court, all the forbidden troops stayed in Gyeonggi and did not go south to help Xuzhou.

After all, at this time, nothing is more important than stabilizing power.

…………

Xuzhou city.

Du Yong, the commander of the inner guard, stood in front of Shen Yi, bowed his head slightly to Master Shen, and clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the inner guard intelligence, the enemies near Xuzhou, have begun to retreat north."

After a pause, he said, "The Qi army in the east of Xuzhou and the Qi army in Haizhou are retreating towards Yanzhou Mansion."

Master Shen lowered his head to ponder for a while, and then said with a smile: "Brother Du, what's the status? You still call me an official title. It doesn't sound right to call me a title."

Only then did Du Yong smile at Shen Yi, and said: "Shen Yilang, you are humble, if you get the title, your tail will be raised high right now."

Shen Yi shook his head, and said: "It's mostly due to the brothers of the Huai'an Army that they were able to make meritorious deeds. Shen took advantage of it for nothing, so don't mention it."

This time, the imperial court's reward came too fast.

Or rather, a little unreasonable.

Because there are so many people in the Huai'an army, only Shen Yi has received the award so far.

Although the position of Minister of the Ministry of War has not been changed, the right deputy capital censor who was granted the title is also an official position of the third rank, and the overall rank has not been raised, but on the basis of the third rank, Shen Yi has been given the title of Uncle Jiangdu.

But these, in the eyes of the soldiers and generals of the Huai'an Army, are high promotions.

Although Master Shen, the credit that should be reported to his subordinates is not underreported at all, but it is inevitable that the people below will think too much.

But Shen Yi has nothing to do about this kind of thing, he can't turn around and complain that the imperial court made a mistake in promoting him, can't he?

Du Yong said with emotion: "If all the Shangguans in the world are as reasonable as you, Shen Shilang, then there will be nothing to worry about."

Master Shen jokingly said: "Could it be that Lu Weishuai is always making things difficult for Brother Du?"

"I also know Lu Weishuai. After returning to Jiankang, I judged Brother Du on his behalf."

Du Yong was taken aback by Shen Yi's words, and waved his hands again and again: "Shen Yilang, don't make fun of the subordinates, Wei Shuai treats me and other subordinates very well, and there is nothing difficult about it."

Shen Yi laughed, and then said: "Okay, stop joking with Brother Du."

He coughed and said solemnly: "Since the main force of the Qi people has retreated, that is to say, they will basically not rescue Suqian. Brother Du sent someone to run for me to inform Ling Su and Xue Wei of my Huai'an army. Two generals."

Du Yong bowed slightly, and said, "Go tell the two generals that you are going to attack Suqian in an all-round way?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said: "If the main force of the Qi people is not rescued, then the Qi army in Suqian will definitely try their best to break through, at least once."

"At this time, there is no need to attack again."

Master Shen squinted his eyes and said softly: "Go and inform the two of them, tell them that the encirclement will be tighter in the next two days, strictly guard against death, and no one from Qi can break through."

Du Yong was stunned, then lowered his head and said with emotion: "Shen Shilang can think what others can't, no wonder he can make this achievement."

Master Shen said helplessly: "Brother Du is full of lies like this again, and I will return to Jiankang in the future. I must complain to Lu Weishuai."

Du Yong laughed, cupped his fists at Shen Yi, then turned around and went down to work.

The inner guard is very efficient.

In less than a day, Shen Yi's order was passed on to Xue Wei and Ling Su.

At this time, Ling Su was leading more than 2 Huai'an Army and the West Route Army, all brought out by him bit by bit. They are all adapted from the Huaihe Navy, and they are still in the process of running in, so they can't be handy.

Fortunately, the tasks assigned by Shen Yi did not require too delicate tactical cooperation, nor did they require much communication. They only needed to block the retreat route of the Qi army.

In this way, the Huai'an army surrounded Suqian for four or five days, repelling the Suqian Qi army seven or eight times to break through.

On the sixth day, Ling Su delivered a letter to Xue Wei. After some communication, the two dispatched troops almost at the same time, contracted the encirclement, and approached Suqian County.

At this time, the Qi army in Suqian suffered successive setbacks and had already lost their vigor. In the evening, they were forced into the city by two armies, unable to move.

Ling Su rode a horse and ran up to Xue Wei, pointed at Suqian City not far away with his horsewhip, and said with a smile: "Brother, you and I have spent more than half a month here in Suqian, and it's time to end today."

Xue Wei nodded, and said: "Shen Gong's soldiers are too stable, otherwise he would have surrounded and wiped out this Qi army."

Ling Su smiled and said: "Mr. Shen has always been like this. He wants our side to suffer the least damage and the enemy to suffer the most damage. When we suppressed the Japanese in the southeast, our brothers killed or injured more than ten people, and we were able to kill hundreds of Japanese pirates." Even nearly a thousand people."

Hearing what he said, Xue Wei also remembered the days when he was fighting against the Japanese army, and said with emotion: "Back then, I only knew how to follow Mr. Shen to kill a few more Japanese pirates. How could I have thought that today would happen."

He looked at Ling Su and said with a smile: "I'm afraid General Ling didn't expect to see today?"

Ling Su said solemnly: "It's natural. In the battle of Linhai County, we Linhaiwei lost a lot. At that time, brother Yu was even prepared to go to prison."

The two chatted about the past, Xue Wei looked up at the sky, and said: "It's getting late, the younger brother will lead people to attack the first round, and General Ling will lead people to support the younger brother."

Ling Su thought for a while, and said, "Brothers, most of them are Huaihe naval divisions. I'm afraid it's not very convenient to use, why don't we take a break?"

Xue Wei grinned: "It is precisely because it is not easy to use that it has to be put into the battlefield to grind and grind. These soldiers from the Huaihe Navy will also be our Huai'an Army in the future, and they need to train hard to be successful."

Only then did Ling Su nod his head, and said, "Brother, go on your own, I'll bring someone to support you."

Xue Wei nodded, then laughed heartily, rode on the horse, took the lead, and led the people to charge towards Suqian City.

Before reaching the city of Suqian, thousands of Huai'an troops shouted.

"Surrender without killing!"

"Surrender without killing!"

This sound was shouted by thousands of people, almost shaking the sky and the earth, like thunder. Accompanied by the deafening shouts, some Han soldiers on the Suqian tower couldn't help swallowing, feeling timid.

General Zhu Lizhen, who was standing behind them, was furious when he heard these voices persuading them to surrender, and shouted angrily, "Archers! Archers!"

"Get ready to shoot these Nanbans! Shoot these Nanbans!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of cannons under the city exploded almost at the same time, and the shells immediately bombarded the low city wall of Suqian, making craters one after another, and wounding people in Qi at the same time.

Xue Wei under the city, waited until the second round of artillery, raised his arms and called out.

"Brothers, in our Huai'an Army, every head is worth a military merit. It's the real deal, and it's no fool at all!"

He roared to the sky and yelled loudly.

"Rush to the past with me!"
