In the Luo Xingshui division camp in the east of Changle Mansion, the cannon roared and the fire soared into the sky.

On 17 October, Xia Chengting led the Tang Navy Division into the Min River, and then went up the river and arrived outside the Fuzhou Navy Battalion to the east of Fuzhou City. At the same time, some transport ships also approached the river bank, and the Qingzhou infantry transported on the ships also began to land on the north bank of the Min River and launched an attack by land.

Under the blow of many firearms of the Tang Naval Division, the recalcitrant Fujian army suffered heavy losses.

Zhao Xun and Liu Jiang, who commanded the battle, watched indifferently on the warship as the dense Jiaozhi army rushed towards the position temporarily built by the Huaxia army on the riverbank, and then was beaten by the Huaxia army and scattered and fled. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and under the cover of the battleship's artillery, coupled with the volley of muskets, it almost became a one-sided massacre.

The artillery equipped by the Tang army on the warships destroyed the wooden fortress of Shuizhai, and under the cover of artillery, the landing infantry smoothly carried out and began to attack the Min army in the camp on the embankment on both sides. The Min army defending the embankment had long been stunned, and after the Tang army began to land on the shore, they scattered and fled in a chaotic shout.

The Tang army did not take much effort to occupy this river-waterproof village.

After a brief battle, the air was still filled with a heavy smell of gunsmoke and blood.

The dilapidated Luo Xingshui Xingshi Xingzhai turned out to be full of bomb craters and broken branches and leaves everywhere in the mountains on the banks of the verdant Minjiang River. Except for the occasional bleak crow chirping, the hot flashes of the land were silent at night. The water of the Minjiang River flowed quietly to the southeast, and the steam engines of several patrolling Datang warships on the river made a noisy and loud noise, breaking the original tranquility of this land.

The strong combat effectiveness of the Tang Navy Division directly made the Wu Yue Navy Division who followed them into the Min River and prepared to cooperate with the battle look stupid.

With the combat effectiveness of the imperial court sailors, where can they be mixed up here?!

The city gate of Fuzhou City had already been tightly closed, the shouts of killing outside the city resounded in the sky, and the more than 10,000 Fujian troops who hurriedly went out of the city to meet the enemy began to scatter and flee as soon as they exchanged hands, and the company that was standing at the head of the city to watch the battle sank suddenly. In the direction of the river valley to the east, red Tang Army battle flags hunted in the wind and rushed towards Fuzhou City.

Lian Chongyu is a strong general in the Fujian army, but he is not a fool.

Seeing this situation, he hurriedly got out of the city and ran directly to the north gate to find Zhu Wenjin to discuss.

This Zhu Wenjin and Lian re-met, divided into the control of Chen, the control of the crane two guards of the forbidden army, Lian Chong killed Wang Chang to support Wang Xi, promoted to the door envoy, and the control of the crane guard belonged to his subordinate general Wei Conglang under the command.

This Fujian lord Wang Xi was very suspicious of Zhu Wenjin and Lian Chongyu, but he didn't know how to hide it, and from time to time after drinking too much, he also ridiculed these two people with words. Usually, Zhu and Lian were deeply frightened, but fortunately, the two of them held the forbidden army in their hands, and Wang Xi was also a rat trap, so he didn't dare to move them easily.

Lian Chongyu found Zhu Wenjin and said: "The Lord of Min is afraid of you and me, and now that the imperial army is pressing, why should he die for him?" If you don't strike first, get rid of the king, and then open the door to welcome the surrender, it is also a great merit! ”

Zhu Wenjin already had this meaning, the two hit it off, and then began to conspire.

It happened that Wang Xi went to Dongcheng to inspect the division, and Zhu Wenjin and Lian Zhong were killed, and Gong Chenwei Mabu made Qian Da lead the crowd to ambush. When Wang Xi arrived at the city and was about to enter the city, Na Chanda led his troops to stand out and directly hacked Wang Xi to death with a knife.

When Wang Xi's attendants saw that the Lord was dead, they immediately scattered and fled.

Zhu Wenjin and Lian Chongyu led the army to search for the Wang clan in the city, and arrested more than 50 people, all of whom were also killed.

After punishing the Wang clan, the two opened the gate of Fuzhou and sent people to welcome the imperial army into the city.

Xia Chengting learned of the civil strife in Fuzhou City, and Zhu Wenjin and Lian Chong met the news that the two of them had taken refuge, and immediately led the army from Luo Xing to Fuzhou, and were welcomed into the city by Zhu and Lian.

After Xia Chengting led the army into the city, he did not enter the palace, but took the Changle Mansion as his military office, summoned hundreds of officials of the Fujian State, counted the crimes of the lord of Fujian, and ordered him to swear allegiance to the imperial court. These Fujian officials are all greedy for life and afraid of death, so they naturally follow everything.

However, he consulted the doctor Zheng Yuanbi, and then asked to see Xia Chengting.

Zheng Yuanbi said to Xia Chengting: "The general represents the righteousness of the imperial court, and the lower officials dare not have objections. It's just that this Wang clan has owned Fujian for thirty or forty years, and there are still many generals and officials in various places who are interested in the Wang family. If the general wants to stabilize Fujian as soon as possible, he can get rid of Zhu and Lian together, and then all places will be in their hearts. ”

After hearing this, Xia Chengting smiled and said: "What Mr. said is exactly what I want!" ”

The next day, Xia Chengting wanted to go to the Fujian Palace for inspection, and Zhu Wenjin, Lian Chongyu and some Fujian courtiers accompanied him.

When he entered the main hall of the court, he didn't expect that the pro-army who had been ambushed by the two sides rushed out, pressed Zhu and Lian to the ground, and tied up the five flowers.

That Zhu Wenjin and Lian Chongyu were pushed in front of Xia Chengting, and they couldn't help but look at him angrily and roared: "We led our troops to join the imperial court, and the general treated me like this, so that the world would not be cold?!" ”

Xia Chengting said: "The two of them took the lead in surrendering, which should have been commended, but they had no choice but to kill the Wang clan, which aroused the anger of the people in Fujian." Xia had to borrow the heads of the two to appease the resentment of Fujian, please don't blame! ”

He said that he ordered the two men to be beheaded in public and to announce the crime.

Although the two guards in the city were in an uproar, they were also suppressed by the Tang army's early preparations.

Jianzhou Assassin Wang Jizheng was shocked to hear the bad news of Fuzhou, Changle Mansion fell, and wanted to call himself the emperor.

His subordinate general Lin Hanhui admonished: "The descendants of Taizu, there is not much left, and now the imperial army has entered, if the general picks up the emperor's name, it will definitely be intolerable to the imperial court, and I am afraid that the Wang family will be extinct." If you surrender to the Tang army, you may be able to survive. ”

Wang Jizheng hesitated after hearing this.

At this time, An Xianhui and Yuan Ren had already led 40,000 Tang troops from Raozhou to Jianzhou.

When Wang Jizheng learned that the Tang army had broken through Shaowu, he knew that he could not delay, and immediately asked for surrender. The land where the state was founded was also successfully returned to the Tang Dynasty.

After that, Quanzhou commanded the envoy to force Huang Shaopo to surrender to Tang, and Xu Wenzhi, the assassin of Tingzhou, was also a wall grass, and asked Fu Yanchao to surrender.

Fujian since Wang Zhenzhi appointed Wuwei Army Jiedu envoy, Wang has owned this place for 40 years, since Wang Shenzhi died, his descendants are barren silver, brothers cannibalism, less than 15 years, he has beaten this territory has been made into a miasma, so the Tang Dynasty can be so easy to go down.

In the winter of the twelfth year of the Republic, the Tang Dynasty pacified Fujian, and since Wu, Yue, and Southern Han all submitted to the imperial court, at least on the surface, the Tang Empire had completed the steps to reunify the country......
