Chapter 22: Domination
The battle of Xuanzhou from Dali's army camped to the end of the war, it took only three days, 200,000 North Liang and South Liang coalition troops only in the baptism of 800 cannons instantly evaporated 100,000 troops, the rest of the army retreated in a hurry, the remaining 100,000 coalition troops fled in the direction of Nanjing City, and the rout of this war made the whole country of Southern Liang silent, originally under the enemy's fierce artillery fire, the defeat was already conscious, but I didn't expect to lose so quickly, so miserable, And after the news of the defeat reached the palace of Nanjing City, the court immediately divided into three factions, the first faction is the main battle faction, advocating to fight to the death with Dali's army, although the country must be straightened up, such a suggestion is naturally very backbone, but unfortunately in terms of today's situation, this is undoubtedly self-defeating, unless a way to restrain the Dali cannon, and the second faction will be the main faction, thinking that Dali in the hands of the heavenly soldiers, no one can stop it, and the fall of the beam is the number of days, If you surrender now, you can still seal a prince and save your life, such a proposition is a move to judge the situation, after all, although the number of Dali's army is small, but no one can stop it, surrender can save the lives of the remaining more than 100,000 soldiers, and the third faction is that the Northern Liang and the Southern Liang are connected with the same breath, and can save their strength to cross the Yangtze River to the territory of the Northern Liang to recuperate, and wait until they find a way to restrain the demonic weapons of the Dali army's cannons, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack and regain the territory of the Southern Liang.
In front of His Majesty Xiao Beiping, these three factions are fighting a war of words, a situation that cannot be opened, the main battle faction believes that this since the Liang opened up the territory, has never been trampled on by other races, and now the country is rising and falling, it is even more necessary to rise up and resist, even if it is not hesitant to throw his head and spill blood, I believe that God has eyes will definitely favor Liang to repel the strong enemy, the main surrender faction is scorned, and took out the bloody implementation of the Xuanzhou War in front of everyone, Xuanzhou War, 200,000 troops failed to hurt the 40,000 Dali army, On the contrary, after losing 100,000 troops, he threw away his armor and fled in a hurry, and the ironclad facts have proved that Dali's army is a demon from the abyss, which is simply invincible, so why waste the lives of the people and soldiers of Daliang? The third faction remained silent, because the representative of the third faction was Lord Yang Lijie, the commander of the Jiangbei camp, and Lord Yang Lijie had already known His Majesty Xiao Beiping's plans.
Just when the two factions were fighting, His Majesty Xiao Beiping suddenly made a decision: "Cross the river!" ”
Seven days after the end of the battle of Xuanzhou, just when the soldiers of Dali were strong soldiers and horses, full of food and drink and high morale, they went out of the city gate and approached in the direction where Nanjing City was located, Nanjing City was already in chaos, and all the silver money in the treasury had been transferred to the Qinhuai River and directly transported to Beiliang by the canal, and except for the 20,000 Jiangbei battalion soldiers who left Yang Lijie behind, all the rest of the soldiers followed the Nanliang royal family to cross the river in the boats that had already been prepared. This time, the Northern Liang and Southern Liang coalition forces are still as many as 150,000 left, and the number is still extremely objective, so it will not be too short a process to cross the river, at least it will take three days, and in these three days, the news of the escape of the Southern Liang monarch has spread throughout the entire Nanjing City, which immediately caused a great panic, and all the people began to pack their bags, hoping to follow the royal ships to the north, but they were kicked back without accident, and they could only escape from Nanjing City and scatter and escape. And the city of Nanjing is also chaotic, waiting for opportunities to rob and kill people every day, as if there is no longer a bit of dignity and image of the national capital.
And two days later, with the arrival of the wave of refugees in Nanjing City, Jiangnan also got the news, for a time Jiangnan was also a mess, robbers, robbers began to run rampant, all the shops began to close down, unwilling to flee the exile of the people can only hide in their own yards, store a large amount of food, hope that the demonic Dali army will not befall the disaster on their heads, all the people of Nanliang know that the 100,000 people of this Chizhou City were slaughtered by the demons of Dali overnight, such a tragedy, Whether it will happen again, no one knows, the only thing that can be done is ...... Only prayers.
And when Duan Zhuang led 40,000 Dali soldiers to Nanjing City, Yang Lijie was commanding the last 20,000 Dali soldiers to board the battleship to the north, and when Duan Zhuang led the Dali soldiers to feel the dock, he just saw the last battleship sail away from the dock.
Duan Zhuang looked at the ships in the distance, but sighed, turned around and waved his hand, and said to the Dali soldiers behind him: "Enter the city!" "These 40,000 Dali soldiers poured into Nanjing City, and at this moment, Nanjing City has become an empty city, except for some people who have nowhere to go, even an ordinary Nanliang nobleman has not been caught, and this time, Duan Zhuang just ordered all the soldiers to search the whole city, and did not make any difficulties to the remnants of Nanjing City, because Duan Zhuang knew that from this moment on, the rich land of the Central Plains north of the Yangtze River already belonged to Dali. And when Duan Zhuang led 40,000 Dali soldiers into Nanjing City and sat on the throne of the Nanliang Imperial Palace, Duan Zhuang just sighed softly, but his eyes looked straight to the north, because in the north, there are still half of the territories that have not yet been conquered but are about to be conquered.
After Dali's army entered Nanjing, Duan Zhuang immediately issued a series of instructions, including announcing the pardon of all the exiled Southern Liang soldiers, promising that all the exiled people would no longer be violated and threatened after returning home, and at the same time sent 10,000 troops and horses into the hinterland of Jiangnan to suppress the speculative merchants with iron and blood, and stabilized the Jiangnan shopping mall as quickly as possible. But for the common people, he didn't commit any offense, and he didn't have the style of the demon king in Chizhou City.
Soon, the riots in Jiangnan were quelled, and after the pacification, Duan Zhuang began to requisition ordinary people into the army for training, the entire Jiangnan law and order was quickly restored, and it was also the rule of Dali that was quickly stabilized...... Blood.
From Duan Zhuang's entry into Nanjing City until the riot subsided, it only took half a month, that is, fifteen days, and from the Battle of Chizhou, to the Battle of Xuanzhou City, until Duan Zhuang entered Nanjing City, everything that happened in less than a month was clearly grasped by one person.
Duan Zhong sat in the meeting hall in the valley of the "Snowy Night Phoenix", looking at the news that the "poisonous dagger" kept coming back from the outside world, the letters were already piled up enough to reach Duan Chong's ankles, but Duan Zhong was still very careful to open them one by one, but no matter which letter he was reading, Duan Chong's brows were tightly wrinkled, because the news of these days was too shocking, and as the initiator of this matter, he did not do anything at all. If he hadn't handed over Cui Rixing and Tie Dan to Duan Zhuang's hands, it would have been impossible for Dali's army to arm its cannons with such terrifying power.
Although Duan Zhong expected that the balance of this war would be on Dali's side, he didn't expect that Dali would win so completely, win so inhumanely, and win so ...... Horror, after Duan Zhong recovered and met with Duan Zhuang, this section of Zhuang only mastered three hundred cannons in his hands, but in less than half a year after he left, the cannons in the hands of this section of Zhuang have surged to as many as a thousand, there is no doubt that with Cui Rixing and Tie Dan, even if they don't stop for twelve hours a day, it is impossible to reach this number, so there is only one possibility left, the production technology of this cannon and explosives has been given by the craftsmen under Duan Zhuang...... Mastered.
This is an extremely terrible thing, the power of bombs and cannons in this world is as terrible as the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb in Duan Chong's previous life, and once any party masters this power and abuses it wantonly, there is no doubt that this world will enter the era of hot weapons from the era of cold weapons, Duan Zhong can even predict the generation of guns, cars and other objects in the near future, such a world, Duan Zhong is even a little unimaginable.
Duan Chong's mind was a little confused at the moment, because at this moment, these pictures kept flashing in Duan Chong's mind, and Xiao Beiping made up his mind to go north...... The scene of 100,000 coalition troops being destroyed under artillery fire...... The scene of Duan Zhuang's slaughter of 100,000 people in Chizhou City with a military order...... Once upon a time, Duan Chong thought that his mind was already extremely firm, whether it was facing the cavalry of the Huns, or a grandmaster-level martial arts master, he was always not afraid of death and murder, but this time, Duan Chong finally felt a trace of fear, because Duan Chong knew that he was just because of some actions, rewriting history and rewriting the fate of many people.
Duan Zhong didn't know what Xiao Beiping was doing at the moment? Maybe he is on the carriage going north, although there are tears in his eyes, but he can never shed a drop, there is no doubt that the hat of the king of the dead country has been buckled on Xiao Beiping's head, this will definitely be the choice of a lifetime of infamy, and this ...... This is not the original intention of Duan Zhong.
Duan Zhong sighed softly, read the last letter, and learned that Duan Zhuang had already expected such a result after accepting Jiangnan's measures, and it seemed that his brother was really ...... It's hidden!
