Chapter 145: Thang Long's Victory

Orthodoxy twenty-eighth year of spring February.

This year is the year of the imperial examination.

Although there is still more than a month before the time of spring. But now the Ming Dynasty is already lively. The city was bustling with people who came to take the exam.

The so-called poor show talents, rich people.

Xiucai may be poor, they have not yet benefited from the imperial examination, but under normal circumstances, the people are relatively wealthy, and the consumption brought by the general 3,000 people is enough to make a part of the urban area of Beijing lively, that is, with the Gongyuan as the center, the nearby inn neighborhood.

However, such an atmosphere could not be transmitted to Ouchi.

Forbidden City, in the Wuying Palace.

A meeting is taking place.

This meeting was a purely military one.

Only Li Xian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Shi Luotong of the Cabinet University are seated, one of them is in charge of the overall situation, and the other is in charge of military affairs, so they naturally have to be listed.

But all of them were in uniform.

Yang Hong and Shi Heng were the core, and a large number of young and middle-aged generals were lined up on both sides. Such as Shi Jin, Meng Guang, Jiang Wan, Li Ying, Shi Biao, and so on.

In addition, there are some young people, most of whom are leaders who have just graduated from martial arts, and they are all working here, and these people are actually just sitting and watching.

The real decision was actually made by Yang Hong, Shi Heng, Li Xian, Luo Tong, and Zhu Qizhen.

Many people looked at Shi Heng slightly. There is no other reason.

Shi Heng's injuries are not completely healed, and he is still not comfortable when he walks, but time waits for no one.

After all, it's February.

When the spring flowers bloom, it is the time to send troops, even in high latitudes, the time to warm up will be a little later, but in March and April, we will be ready to send troops.

So, the whole plan always has to go ahead.

However, the reason why so many people attach importance to Shi Heng is that Shi Heng came out of the edict alive, but he just suffered some flesh wounds, and in this regard, it can be called a legend.

Even so, there are still many people among the civil servants who do not let him go.

In the end, it was Zhu Qizhen who made a decision and said: "Shi Heng has worked hard for the country, and now is the time to use the army, so he is allowed to make meritorious contributions." "That's the end of the discussion.

But in this way, everyone knows that Shi Hengjian is in the emperor's heart and is today's confidant.

Before the meeting began, I heard an urgent report from outside, and a good news message came up.

Zhu Qizhen opened it, smiled, and said, "The younger generation has broken the thief." ”

But it was a good news for the Battle of Thang Long.

Starting from the 27th month of orthodoxy, after the end of the rainy season in Annam, Guo Deng sat in Hongyang, that is, the original Taiyuan of Annam, and Han Yong together with the governor of the grain road, divided into three routes, crossed the river from the upstream, the middle reach, and the downstream, and besieged Thang Long Mansion.

Prince Zhu Jianjun asked for his life.

After Guo Deng discussed with Han Yong, he followed Liu Pu to attack from the upstream.

But he wants the veteran to be calmer and be able to protect the prince, not to seek merit, but to be innocent.

It's just that they mistook this for a veteran.

Liu Pu is not a person without ability, but because of one reason or another, he didn't play it out, and it was not as good as Lang Shan's fight at the beginning, Mubang made trouble, so he had to divide his energy into two and pay attention to the two parties.

That's how it was mediocre.

Now facing the broken Annan.

The army is dilapidated, although there are still hundreds of thousands of troops, but if you study carefully, it is only a few old, weak, sick and disabled troops, and there is a shortage of officers and generals.

If before the war, he served as a soldier in the Annan army, as long as he can live until now, he will be a middle-level general, for no other reason, Annan's elite will be buried in the 300,000 beheadings in Langshan.

Today's army is old, young and young, and there are still some troops of appropriate age, all of whom have been guarded by Li Sicheng in Thang Long City.

Because he knew very well that Thang Long City was the place where the decisive battle would be.

Therefore, as soon as the war began, Liu Pu took the crown prince Zhu Jianjun and broke into the south of the Red River, and without waiting for the two armies to converge, he almost swept the cities south of the Red River with a lone army, and drove straight into Thang Long City.

To the surprise of both sides.

Li Sicheng was shocked that the Ming army came too fast and too quickly, and the defeat made him have no time to react.

In fact, he was already mentally prepared to fail.

It's just that this speed still makes him unbearable, and he has to gather all the powerful troops near Thang Long City.

The Ming army was shocked in this regard, but the prince was still in the Liu Pu army.

The Dian army led by Liu Pu was actually mediocre in terms of combat effectiveness and organizational ability. There is no way for him to fight such a beautiful battle, although the broken army of Annan is also one of the reasons. But Liu Pu's ability to use troops cannot be ignored.

But the problem is that the prince is still wise, and in Liu Pu's army, although Annan's army is broken, it is not that there is no army to fight. Once something goes wrong, everyone can't eat and walk around.

As a result, Guo Deng had to give the order to launch a general offensive in advance, and the other two sides launched a general offensive as if they were not killed, just in the face of Li Sicheng's strategic contraction.

So, it's like a stone hitting a glass window, and it shatters. So not long after the war began, the battle was advanced to the city of Thang Long.

Surrounded on all sides.

The siege began.

That's where the problem comes in.

Lai Sicheng made up his mind to defend Thang Long City and never compromise.

So the battle of Thang Long City was fought for about two months.

There is Li Sicheng in the city to supervise the battle, and the city is the last elite army of Annan. Although there are only tens of thousands, there are still more than 100,000 people in Annam to help, even if the Ming Dynasty has cannons, it is extremely tricky for a while.

Thang Long is one

A fortified city.

It took a month to open a gap, but after opening the gap, the tragic battle had just begun.

The vitality of a nation can be best manifested when it encounters danger.

It is like the extinguishment of light, like fire, and the extinguishment of purity, like dust and earth. Although China still regards Annam as China's long-standing soil, the people of Annam today do not see it that way.

They have long since achieved their independence in substance, in spirit. This is also why the Ming Dynasty raised the banner of quelling the rebellion for the Chen Dynasty, and the country could be destroyed in seven months.

However, after the decision was made to abolish the country and establish counties, the resistance of the people of Annam never stopped.

Of course, Zhang Fu's use of troops is like a god, but more importantly, it is the people's will.

Therefore, even after opening a few gaps, the Ming army attacked and was driven out. From the siege to the palace, it was almost bloody.

In the end, after Li Sicheng fled into the palace with the remnants of the defeated soldiers, he burned the entire palace and himself with a very local style.

The last emperor of Annam was wiped out along with the kingdom of Annam.

This is the content of the joint report of the ministers of Annan.

It's just a lot of words, and it's not good to say it clearly in the twists and turns.

Now Thang Long has become a ruined city, and if it is not cleaned up properly, it can no longer be inhabited. Moreover, the resistance of the military and people of Annam did not end with the fall of Thang Long.

In Thanh Hoa City, Le Si Cheng's son ascended the throne as emperor with the support of Le Si Cheng's empress Nguyen Clan, and continued to resist.

Although there is no way to compare with Thang Long City in several prefectures and counties in Thanh Hoa City, the vicinity of Thanh Hoa City was the most stubborn place to resist the Ming Dynasty.

Now it seems to repeat the history of those years.

So the war in Annan was still fought.

These Zhu Qizhen didn't care.

Because of the victory in Thang Long, it marked that the war in Annam had changed from a big war to a law and order war, although there were still tens of thousands of remnants of the army in Thanh Hoa, but in Zhu Qizhen's view, it was not worth mentioning.

Therefore, before the battle of the Western Regions conquest began, Zhu Qizhen waved his pen and reinstated the Jiaozhi Division, Jiaozhi according to the Division, and Jiaozhi Command Division.

That is to say, in addition to Haixi and Haidong, Daming has one more provincial-level unit.

It also changed Thang Long to Jiaozhou.

And let Han Yong prepare, Jiaozhou moved to Haiphong. The reason is very simple, to strengthen the control of Cochin, if the provincial capital of Cochin is close to the sea, then with the ability of the Daming Water Division, once Cochin has some movement, it can directly attack the provincial capital.

In order to prepare for the long-term peace and stability of Annam.

The boundary mountains on both sides are all assigned to Guangxi, and if Guangxi is on the Red River Plain, there is an almost enclave existence. This is all out of an intention, so that the mountains and rivers between Guangxi and Jiaozhi are controlled, once Jiaozhi changes, there is no danger to defend, and the army can go straight to both sides of the Red River.

After Zhu Qizhen discussed with several people, these matters were decided on the spot.
