Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 544: The Seventh Army of the Ming Dynasty launched a general offensive to regain Xiping and invade Lang Son.
Li Yimin was the eldest son of Taizong of the Li Dynasty, and was once established as the prince. He was very powerful and had a large number of people following him.

No matter which dynasty the emperor and the prince are from, there is a high probability that they will be incompatible with each other.

Because he was deposed as the crown prince for no reason, Li Yimin has always been dissatisfied and has long had secret plans.

After Da Mingzi extended his olive branch, Li Yimin was immediately moved.It's like taking a nap and someone brings you a pillow.

Li Yimin took stock of himself and found out that the condition given by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was to replace Li Jun and occupy a land with a radius of hundreds of miles on Qiongzhou Island, Guangdong, and to be the same as the Prince of Ming Dynasty, hereditary.Millions of wealth can also be withdrawn from the royal treasury.

After all, it is better than being the shabby king of Lang Son.

The most important point is that Li Jun is still young and can still live in peace.If Li Jun comes of age and takes power, will he be able to tolerate his eldest brother, who was once the prince?
At that time, it will not be a matter of whether to be King of Lang Son, but whether one can survive.

Li Yimin does not know the term "Prisoner's Dilemma" like Xu Youzhen, but he is truly in the Prisoner's Dilemma.

From the perspective of self-interest, there is no better way than cooperating with the Great Tomorrow.

Since there is going to be an uprising, then we will not stop doing anything.

In just one day, the city was cleared. Li Yimin ordered his soldiers to seal the city gates, cut off news from inside and outside, and wait for the arrival of the Ming army.

On April [-], Wang Ji's army was divided into three groups and attacked Sanjiang Prefecture in Annan along the Xuanjiang, Taojiang, and Tuojiang rivers.

Chen Mao and Liang Yuan led an army of [-] troops down the Xuanjiang River to attack Xuanhua City.

Mu Lin led [-] troops and [-] Burmese, Mubang, Mengding and other chieftain troops, and went down the Tuojiang River to attack Jiaxing City.

Wang Ji and Fang Ying led a main force of [-] troops down the Tao River to attack Guihua City.

After capturing the three cities of Xuanhua, Guihua, and Jiaxing, the three armies met at Sanjiang Prefecture in Annan. Beyond that, there was the hinterland of Annan, a vast plain.

On April [-], news of Li Yimin's uprising leaked and spread to Tokyo.Empress Dowager Xuanci immediately mobilized [-] troops to quell the rebellion.

This is also the last mobile army in Annan's capital Tokyo.If the transfer continues, the capital will have no choice but to recruit new soldiers to defend the city.

On April [-]th, Xu Youzhen had used ten days to roughly divide the local soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi into nine battalions.

These chieftain soldiers and grass bandit soldiers are already equipped with armor, swords, guns, firearms, and crossbows.

The Yao and Zhuang people of Guangdong and Guangxi are already brave and warlike. Now, if they behead one level, they will have three taels of silver. Each one of them is even more eager to fight and eager to try.

Xu Youzhen named it Jing'an Army, which means Jingyuan Annan.

There were nine battalions of the Jingan Army, two of which attacked Upper Silang Prefecture and Lower Silang Prefecture in Lang Son Prefecture, and two battalions attacked Qiyuan Prefecture in Lang Son Prefecture.

Another battalion crossed Maoshan and attacked Jing'an Prefecture, Xin'an Prefecture, Annan.

Huang Song led a battalion of naval forces and more than [-] warships, and together with more than [-] warships of the Guangdong Navy, they attacked Xin'an Prefecture.

Xu Youzhen herself had experience in successfully changing her name, so she also gave Huang Xiao this trick.

Huang Xiaoyang's original name was Huang Maosong. Xu Youzhen suggested that he remove the word "Mao" in the middle and call it Huangsong.

In this way, it will be convenient to clear his name in the history books.

Huang Song couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude when he saw that Xu Youzhen really had long-term plans for him.

Therefore, Huang Song was determined to win and headed towards the coast of Xin'an Prefecture.

The three most elite battalions of the Jingan Army acted as the vanguard to attack Xipingzhou and Luzhou in Lang Son Prefecture.Xu Youzhen commanded [-] Beijing troops to follow suit.

Since Xiping Prefecture and Lu Prefecture were originally part of the Ming Dynasty, they were later forcibly given to Annan by Emperor Yingming Shenwuxuanmiao.

Therefore, these two states are dominated by Yao and Zhuang people, and Annan failed to establish a stable rule here.

Yang Yimin, the governor of Guangdong, personally led three battalions of the Jing'an Army, totaling more than 2 people, into Xiping and Luzhou.

The common people in these two states are Yao and Zhuang young people, and the local soldiers in the third battalion of Jing'an are also Yao and Zhuang young people. When we meet fellow villagers, we only shout a few times and reach a consensus. No one is stupid enough to work for Annan anyway. of.It's enough to eat a pot of slurry in a basket to welcome the king's master.

As for the small number of Annan officials and garrison troops, their heads are really not enough for [-] wolf soldiers.

Therefore, the army progressed very smoothly, and like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, it recovered Xiping Prefecture and Lu Prefecture.

Yang Xinmin was also very efficient. As soon as he captured the two states, he immediately issued a silver reward.One head, three silver coins.

Hand over your head with one hand and coins with the other, be honest and trustworthy, and do nothing to deceive others.

These wolf soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi were extremely happy to see that the court could really get the reward, and they all screamed and rushed forward.

On April 22, the main force of the Ming army entered Xiping Mansion and made some adjustments.

On April 23, Liu Chang led 1 Yingzhou Guards, 1 Duoyan Guards, and [-] Shenji Camps to attack Lang Son Prefecture from Xiping Prefecture.

Xu Youzhen and Wang Tong led the Tiance Guards of 1 people and the Shenji Battalion of [-] people to follow up.

There are still 1 people in the Xiaoqi battalion. As a reserve force and a trump card, they cannot be used easily, so they are responsible for the rear.

The 2 men from the Jingan Third Battalion still served as the vanguard, charging across the mountains and plains from Xipingzhou to Lang Son City.

Early on the morning of April 24, [-] Annan imperial troops surrounded Lang Son Fucheng, and the attack was urgent.

Li Yimin stood on the city wall and looked at the Annan Forbidden Army leisurely.

These imperial troops arrived in such a hurry that they were all galloping on horseback. They didn't even bring war elephants, let alone siege equipment.

All they could do was to shoot arrows at the city tower, intimidate and persuade them to surrender.

But it was of no use. Although Li Yimin's more than 1000 loyal soldiers had no great potential, they could still defend the city for three to five days.

In fact, Li Yimin is still not optimistic enough.In the afternoon, when the Annan Forbidden Army had eaten and was exhausted, Li Yimin's soldiers suddenly ran over and reported loudly: "Your Highness, countless people have emerged from the mountains and forests in the north of the city."

Li Yimin quickly moved to the north tower to take a look, and saw so many people that he couldn't even see them.

As the saying goes, if there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.

Li Yimin sighed: "This is our reinforcements. Hey, I didn't expect that I would also take the step of luring wolves into the house. They say they are reinforcements, but they are just a bunch of hungry wolves."

When Taizu fought with the Ming army, the Ming army was not like this.That stupid emperor and that stupid general all gave us their heads.

Now, this is obviously coming from a bad person.Don't open the city gate for a while, and don't let them in.

At least wait until I meet with their senior officials and discuss it.

Okay, let’s beat the drum and cheer. "

Less than half an hour later, the wolf soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi arrived and fought with the Annan Forbidden Army.

The infantry killed the cavalry. These wolf-like warriors from Guangdong and Guangxi didn't even bother to set up military formations, and they didn't know how to do it. They just used crossbows and firearms to shoot wantonly.

The [-] soldiers of the Shenji Camp formed a military formation, and under the protection of the Yingzhou Guards Cavalry, they fired at the Annan Forbidden Army without haste.

Once the Annan cavalry fell from their horses, the wolf soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi came forward to fight in close combat.

At first, the Annan Forbidden Army could resist.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the Annan Forbidden Army finally could not withstand such a bloody fight and began to retreat.

At this time, the Yingzhou Guards and Duoyan Guards cavalry led by Liu Chang had already surrounded the Annan Forbidden Army's retreat.Thousands of exhausted remaining cavalrymen were bitten by a new force of [-] cavalrymen, and the result can be imagined.
