Wanli 1592

Chapter 1121 This is the land of Daqin, right?

Princes, generals, nobles and gentry, how many people really care about the lives of ordinary people?

Maybe they never cared.

Those who have the knowledge and the right to speak never care.

They will only remember Hai Longtun's past glory, and even secretly complain in their hearts about the Ming army who suppressed the rebellion. Why not keep some of them for future reference? That is art, a combination of military and art.

But who will remember the piles of corpses under the mountain whip?

The lives of ordinary people seem to be just numbers, one can be added or subtracted, and fractions can be erased at any time, and even the last number with two, three, and two zeros can be subtracted.

It is a private property and a private item, which can be donated, manipulated and played with.

Xiao Ruxun gave an order before the army set out to preserve the original appearance of the Hailongtun palace complex as far as possible and not to damage it too much when the situation permits.

This is the only trace of their life, and it is also the trace that should not be forgotten. It can even be used as a wake-up call for future generations when necessary.

See it.

He built high-rise buildings, he entertained guests, he was romantic, he was presumptuous, and then he died.

Luxurious eating, luxurious drinking, stylish clothing, elegant makeup, leading the trend, everything seems to be out of this world, every gesture is just two words.

"noble".

The innate nobility, the nobility of being superior to others, the nobility of continuation of blood, the nobility that ordinary people who don't know a single word can't even imagine.

But so what?

He will die here, in this golden splendor.

Died on the same ground as those he had killed.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month in the second year of Longwu, the five armies gathered in Hailongtun. They mopped up the remnants of the Yang family including the remnants and defeated generals along the way, and approached step by step.

Qi Dayong was the first to arrive, behind Hailong Tun Mountain, and Liu Ting was the last to arrive.

Hai Longtun was besieged by the five-way army, and the generals of each army held a meeting in the tent of the coach Zheng Ying.

"Speaking of this, the battle started on the 24th, and today is exactly the [-]th. We have achieved the deadline His Majesty set for us."

With a confident and calm smile on his face, Zheng Ying looked at the generals who had successfully assembled in the tent.

The chief generals also showed smug smiles.

They really followed the emperor's request, defeated the Bozhou army in fifteen days, compressed them into Hailongtun, and won an extremely brilliant victory.

"I thought it would take at least a month, right? Who knew Yang Yinglong would disperse troops and take the initiative to attack us. It's really like someone gave us a pillow just as we were about to sleep.

What was Yang Yinglong thinking?Why did you send troops to attack?If this were me, I would definitely be a shrinking turtle, so let's eat it one bite at a time, and it will take a month, right? "

Liu Ting laughed at Yang Yinglong happily.

Ma Qiancheng also agreed.

"Yeah, back then Yang Yinglong wasn't just as majestic as usual. From the 24th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty until now, except for a period of time in the middle because of His Majesty's Northern Expedition, he attacked Sichuan, Guizhou, and Tusi. He sent troops from all directions and killed countless people. , mighty, but nowadays, there is also the end of being trapped by Hai Longtun, the world is really impermanent."

Qi Dayong took a few sips of water and smiled coldly.

"From the 20th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the person His Majesty said he wanted to kill, I have never seen anyone who survived. He ate a bear's heart and leopard gall, opposed His Majesty, built a palace privately, and even dared to use eunuchs. It's clear. If you are not a minister, you will not be able to tolerate him in the past.

This time he was purely looking for death by himself, and sent troops scattered. How could he come up with such a stupid move?Now, he's learned how to be good, and the trapped Hai Longdun has become a shrinking turtle, planning to stick to it, but he doesn't even look at how many people he is now? "

After Zheng Ying and other generals vented their emotions, they said: "You are all right, but according to His Majesty's request, in order to minimize losses as much as possible, we need to take down Hai Longtun within half a month, everyone, this is not What an easy task.

According to our information, Hailongtun was built by Yang Yinglong’s ancestor Yang Duan in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, in order to deal with the expansion of the northern captives, it was built by Yang Yinglong. It was overhauled at least three times before and after. place.

Among them, the most dangerous one is the Feilong Pass in front of the mountain. After seeing this Hailongtun, we are the ones who suffer. "

Zheng Ying took out the rough map of Hai Longtun drawn by the Blackwater agent, and looked at it carefully.

"Thanks to His Majesty's early preparations, sending Blackwater spies into Bozhou to spy on information, we were able to advance so smoothly. Right now, Hai Longtun is no secret to us, and we are not blind, but this is still an extremely dangerous pass.

At that time, the northern captives swept the world and the Song Dynasty was destroyed. Only Bozhou remained standing. This place has never been breached before, and it is the first time for us, from the Tang Dynasty to the present! "

After Zheng Ying said this, the faces of the generals became serious.

"Your Majesty often says that no opponent should be underestimated. A lion needs all its strength to fight a rabbit. What's more, what we are facing is not a rabbit, but a trapped beast. There is no need for me to say more about the fight between trapped beasts, right? Ladies and gentlemen, you must Take it seriously, if there is a failure, I will blame the trivial matter, but your Majesty Long Yan will be furious and the matter will be serious, remember, fifteen days, only fifteen days!"

Zheng Ying's words made all the generals tremble, and An Jiangchen and Song Chengen, who had been listening behind, were even more terrified.

It is hard for them to imagine that after more than a year of change of dynasty, these Qin troops, most of whom were originally Ming troops, have undergone such a huge change.

From shirking each other's responsibilities, dragging each other's legs, and conflicts with each other to the present sincere cooperation, they only want to win the battle, and even end the four-year history of Yang's 720 within [-] days.

No one understands the gap between these changes better than An Jiangchen and Song Chengen, who have dealt with Ming local officials and generals for many years.

Since when did these Chinese armies become so disciplined and purposeful and aggressive?

No looting or random killings on the way here. In the past, when a city was conquered, one would have to slaughter and loot private property for oneself, and loot all the treasures and women in the city for their own enjoyment. Where did the army, which is no different from bandits, go?

This guy Liu Ting was extremely fierce in battle, he was not afraid of death, and he was extremely fierce in what he did after the war. He was deeply criticized for this. When he was still in Sichuan, he was impeached by civil officials for all kinds of looting of trophies and women. , Lost office several times.

Of course, what the civil servants themselves did was not much better.

This time, I didn't see the Qin army plundering women along the way. After breaking through the city, they really collected the spoils and stored them, and didn't fight for them. They thought that what Qi Dayong said before the war were all polite words, saying one thing and doing another Kind of like, who would have thought they really meant what they said.

Not only that, after joining forces, the Qin army was still in good order, there was not a single woman in the army, and the loot was piled up like a mountain, but none of the soldiers took it privately. They all said that the loot was distributed after the war, which is not a lie.

Not killing, not looting, not burning, not only made the five divisions and seven surnames very grateful, willing to serve as pawns of the army and go through life and death for His Majesty the Emperor of Qin, but also prevented the Bozhou area from falling into serious turmoil due to the war. The Qin army seemed to pay great attention to maintaining local peace. Just like treating your own country.

This is the land of Great Qin, right?
