The next day, the king of the west led the thieves to the east to Jianchang Mansion to bombard Nancheng County, the capital of Jianchang Mansion, with heavy troops, forcing the general army of Jianchang in the Ming Dynasty: Cao Li Guo, and hurriedly sent a letter to contact the garrisons of Luxi County and Guangchang County to come to help, but they were all intercepted and killed by the King of the West in the middle of the way, and after taking Jianchang Mansion, he turned to attack Fuzhou Mansion.

At this moment, the left waiter of the Ming Army Department and the fourth division supervisor: Lu Daqi, because of the lack of troops, wanted to unite with the Ming Ping thief general to flank the thief army, but when the herald went to inform the Zuo army, the Ming Ping thief general, who had always been proud and arrogant, thought that he wanted to annex his own army? He lied that he was sick in bed and refused to send troops!

In order to successfully take this area, the king of the west let the soldiers of the western army send a list of documents to pass on, if they are sincere to surrender, they can not be blamed in the past, and those who surrender to the city will be added to the official and knighted.

Some of the defeated and fleeing officials and troops went all the way south, causing the Ming officials in the Shaozhou Mansion, Nanxiong Mansion, Huizhou Mansion, and Chaozhou Mansion to be frightened!

Especially the political envoy of Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty: Wang Sunlan, he was very scared and hurriedly asked for help from nearby soldiers and horses, but the defenders were too busy to take care of themselves and couldn't send reinforcements to rescue! Among them, Huang Lianlin, a general of Shaozhou in the Ming Dynasty, tried to mutiny with the generals in order to seek glory and wealth, and held the right political envoy of Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty hostage to surrender to the thieves.

Just when he was preparing for action at night, he was discovered by the patrolling soldiers and took the opportunity to inform, which made the political envoy of Ming Guangdong, who was sitting in the backyard of the Shaozhou Mansion, learned of the incident, and hurriedly put down the teacup and whispered to the soldiers: "Later, the official will rest early as before, and you will withdraw the guards and disperse, and the official will come to catch turtles in an urn." ”

Sure enough, when he arrived, the political envoy of Guangdong still blew out the candles as usual, fell asleep in the study in the backyard, and just lay down, and without a cup of tea, he walked out of a group of black-clothed people one after another, came to the window and observed around for a while, randomly waved into the room and prepared for action.

This scene was guarded by Ming Shaozhou, who had already lurked in the grass next to him: Lu Chenian, found him and said to the soldiers behind him, "Listen to my orders for a while, don't act rashly, I will arrest them all." After speaking, he took the soldiers to get up and separate to guard the surroundings, and the people who entered the house came to the bed in the dark under the leadership of General Ming Shaozhou, and were about to pull out their knives to slash the people on the bed, when they suddenly heard (whoosh) and two men in black screamed on the spot?

The general of Ming Shaozhou, who was deeply distressed, immediately pulled out his knife, but was lying on the bed by Ming Guangdong's right Buzheng with a saber on his neck and said, "Stop it for this official!" I'm here today to see who is taking the lead in the presumptuousness. ”

As soon as the words fell, the Shaozhou garrison rushed out with the soldiers holding torches and shouting, "Don't move!" "When the candle was lit, I saw that the person who took the lead was actually a general of Ming Shaozhou? And the rest of the men in black were taken off their hats and found that they were all defending the city!

This is so angry that the political envoy of Guangdong Province spit out a mouthful of old blood and said: "If you lose the territory, you should die, and if the thief traps the city, you should die, since you all plan to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, then let the official die first!" As soon as the words fell, he hit the bed and bled to death! The captured generals were ashamed!

However, the Western Army did not have the ability to attack Shaozhou Mansion so quickly, and the local officials remembered the loyalty of the political envoy of Guangdong Province in the Ming Dynasty, so they jointly asked the imperial court to give him a gift.

At the same time, the main army of the King of the West went to Huguangcheng to announce the political division of Baoqing Mansion, Chenzhou Mansion, Jingzhou, Yongshun Xuanwei Division, Baojing Prefecture Xuanwei Division, Shizhou Wei and other places to press the border, forcing the Ming Tusi soldiers in this area and the local garrison to jointly resist the thieves, on the west bank of Yuanshui, combined with 60,000 Tusi soldiers and 40,000 Ming troops, commanded by Ming Shizhou Wei: Xu Wenwu, led the Ming army to defend Baoqing Mansion, Shibenguan became the first line of defense.

Because the local Tusi soldiers generally did not obey the management of the general soldiers, the Wei commanders and other generals, so the Ming Shi Zhou Wei Commander let the Ming Shi Zhou Wei Fuyi know: Su Zhiqian, led the territorial soldiers to set up a second line of defense in Chenzhou Zhenxi to guard the Qianhu.

Just when the army was moving, Prince Ming Min'an, who was in Wugang Prefecture, Baoqing Prefecture: Zhu Qifeng, heard the movement, he hurriedly left the Minwang Mansion, and mobilized the Minwang Mansion Honor and Guard Division to come and plan to retreat into Jingzhou for refuge.

The route of march of the Western Army is wavering? It is estimated that they were instructed by the King of the West, so the fortification of the Ming army is almost equal to the decoration!

The next day, the Western Army unexpectedly advanced westward from the official road of Changsha Prefecture and detoured to Wugang Prefecture of Baoqing Prefecture and appeared behind Shiben Pass, which also shows that the rear of the first line of defense of the army, the governor of the left army of the Western Army, who led the team: Ma Yuanli, took a look at the defense of Shiben Pass with a monocular on the hillside, and thought that the Ming army had no way to retreat? Because the place was narrow and heavy artillery was not easy to place, with an open plain in front and a river in the back, it would be easy to be wiped out unless the Ming army fought on their backs.

Just as the soldiers of the Western Army continued to observe the situation, a group of Ming soldiers wearing red and blue cloth armor came out of the path, carrying the (Minzi flag) in front of them, which inevitably made the soldiers of the Western Army guess; Could it be that this army is Prince Min's honor guard?

The soldiers of the Western Army did not dare to be careless and directly reported to the Governor of the Left Army of the Western Army, and after hearing this, he laughed and said, "Hehehe! It's really the emperor's heart! I got a vassal king in vain, and I went to capture Prince Min alive with my brothers. As soon as these words came out, the halberd cavalry of the Western Army rushed over, directly surrounded the honor guards of the Minwang Mansion, and stabbed many Ming soldiers to death with the halberd. "Then he was stabbed to death by the thief and the halberd cavalry! The army of thieves pulled the reins and kept surrounding and shouting in joy.

Looking at the roaring thief army, Prince Ming Min'an hurriedly got out of the carriage and walked out, pulling Prince Ming Min'an's son: Zhu Yuhong, and handing it to Ming Min's palace to eat: Guo Sicheng, and said, "Today, the lonely king is afraid that he will not be able to escape the hands of the thief army, and His Royal Highness the prince is still young and should not die here!" How does Guo Dianshan treat you on weekdays? Today, I beg you to escort His Royal Highness the Prince out well, and the Lone King must be grateful! ”

After finishing speaking, Prince Ming Min'an turned around and grabbed the lancet of the honor guard soldier and stabbed Princess Ming Min to death with a knife: Li Huiyin, I saw that my mother was killed by my father! The young Prince Ming Min'an immediately cried and shouted, "Mother, no, don't leave Hong'er!" Seeing this, the old Ming Min Wangfu Diandian quickly took off the regular clothes of His Royal Highness the Son, and gave it to his son: Guo Enxiang, changed it and said to him: "Xiang'er was born as a Ming man for his father, and died as a Ming ghost, and now he is deeply favored by His Royal Highness Prince Min, and I have to think about His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, don't blame my father!" ”

As soon as the words fell, before Guo Enxiang could react, he was knocked unconscious, and the Ming Min Palace's dining house pulled the crying Prince Ming Min'an to break through to the west under the protection of the honor guards.

At this moment, the attention of the thief army was mainly on Prince Ming Min'an's rest of his family, so he didn't care about other people, so Prince Ming Min'an led his second son Ming Zhenguo General: Zhu Yuxian, the third son Ming Fuguo General: Zhu Yuguang, the fourth son Ming Fengguo General: Zhu Yukong, the fifth son Ming Zhenguo Lieutenant: Zhu Yuquan, the sixth son Ming Fuguo Lieutenant: Zhu Zhenning, the seventh son Ming Fengguo Lieutenant: Zhu Yukun, and others fought hard with the Minwangfu Honor Guard.

As a result, all six teenage sons died under the thieves, and even Prince Ming Min'an was hacked to death with a knife! And Guo Enxiang, who pretended to be His Royal Highness the Prince, was directly thrown up by the thieves and soldiers, fell from the air, and was pierced through the body by a sharp halberd and died! Only Ming Min's Mansion Dianshan came out with a few people risking their lives, and was afraid of being pursued by thieves, so he had to jump into the Wanshui River with His Royal Highness the Prince, grab the aquatic grass and swim downstream to escape.

Then the governor of the left army of the Western Army fired artillery to bombard Shibenguan, just as the Ming army was about to return fire, the soldiers of the Western Army blew up the Wanshui River embankment and flooded the Ming army in the city, so a team of 300 Western troops was also drowned in the battle.

On the other hand, the governor of the Western Army: Wang Shangli, thinks that a frontal attack may not have any chance of winning! I was going to use a plan to take down the Chenzhou Mansion, so I gathered the generals to adopt the opinions and see what feasible plans there were? Liu Dongda, a local resident of Hu Guangcheng's announcement of the political secretary, knew that the Tusi soldiers in the western region did not obey the management of the Ming generals, so he proposed, "Qi Yu Governor, the last general has a plan?" Can the Ming army camp be self-defeating? ”

Hearing that there was a plan, the Western Army and the Chinese Army hurriedly looked at him and asked, "I don't know what the good plan is?" Please also offer, if you have merit in breaking the enemy, you will definitely be rewarded. ”

So the commander of the brigade in front of the Western Army's tent said, attached it, and muttered a few words, and immediately made the Governor of the Western Army and the Chinese Army applaud and say, "This plan is wonderful!" It's up to you. After the arrangement, the brigade in front of the Western Military Tent selected more than a dozen local residents to quietly blend into the Ming camp.

When it was time to rest at night, a few soldiers gathered around a tent in the Ming army camp and whispered, "Did you see it?" Yesterday I saw a team of toast soldiers quietly running out of the city to release carrier pigeons? It seems to be colluding with thieves? Several other soldiers came up to him and asked, "What?" How is it possible for the Tusi soldiers to collude with thieves? ”

The thief soldiers deliberately said: "Don't forget, in the forty-eighth year of Wanli, His Majesty Emperor Shenzong Xian sent Tusi soldiers north to resist Jiannu, but unexpectedly, in Sichuan, Chengxuan Zhengsi forced a few Tusi to rebel!" The rest of the people said, "I think Shi Zhouwei and the other two Tusi soldiers in the territory of the Xuanwei Division are the descendants of the previous rebellion Tusi?" ”

The soldiers in the barracks were deeply panicked when they heard these words, and soon spread to the ears of Mingshi Prefecture Wei Fuyi Tongzhi and several Tusi, for the sake of safety, Mingshi Prefecture Wei Fuyi Tongzhi summoned them to the camp to discuss the revocation of the Tusi Army's leading troops, and they were fully responsible for acting as an agent, but this move was immediately unanimously opposed by the Tusi officials! They mistakenly thought that the imperial court was going to confiscate military power? objected, "Lord Fuyi Tongzhi, why do you want to withdraw our right to lead troops for no reason?" Do you have to collect troops? ”
