The Acropolis of Tonggu, a small earthen city that not many people knew about in the past, and even the locals of Liping Province did not know much, has ushered in the biggest change in a thousand years in the last month.

First of all, there was a new army of the Tang Dynasty more than half a month ago, and the Ming army defending the city simply surrendered or fled after resisting.

Not long after, the Ming army fought again, making this place a war again, and a few days after the Ming army attacked the Tonggu Acropolis, the offensive and defensive battle ended temporarily with the new army of the Tang Dynasty taking the initiative to retreat.

But this is not over, no, it has only been a few days, and the new army of the Tang Dynasty has killed again, and the soldiers have reached the bottom of the Tonggu Acropolis.

After repeated battles, the low wall of the Bronze Drum Acropolis was already full of holes, and the blood stains inside and outside the city almost stained the land black, and when you took a deep breath, it seemed that you could smell the strong smell of blood in the air.

And the brutal war has long made the indigenous people in this small earth city not know how to flee there.

There were not many ordinary residents in this small city, only one or two thousand, and when the new army of the Tang Dynasty attacked the city for the first time, the people in the city fled five or six out of ten in order to escape the war.

When the Ming army attacked, some of them fled.

In addition, some people were killed and wounded in the war!

Today, the Tonggu Acropolis is already ten rooms and nine empty, and as far as the eye can see, there are all Ming army soldiers, but there are few ordinary people at all.

However, this series of battles that took place in the Tonggu Acropolis made the name of this small earth city frequently appear on the desks of the senior generals of the Tang New Army and the Ming Army.

Even Zhu Zhihai, who was still in a hurry in central Guizhou, saw the name of the Tonggu Acropolis more than once in the battle reports sent from the front line.

It's just that the battle of the Acropolis of the Bronze Drum that he saw was naturally added to the fire!

The battle of the Tonggu Acropolis that he saw said that Qiu Yu, the vanguard of the Northern Route Army, successfully captured the Tonggu Acropolis after many days of hard fighting, killing hundreds of enemies, and the process was heroic and the results were abundant.

Just through this battle report from the Northern Route Army, the image of a brave and strategic, persevering, heavy and calm general appeared in Zhu Zhihai's mind.

Let him sigh: "The battle of the bronze drum Acropolis has lived up to the hundred years of the country's army!" ”

At the moment, it is time to start rewarding Qiu Yu, so that the generals who can fight and are loyal must be promoted, otherwise, wouldn't it mean that they are mediocre and fearless, and they turn a blind eye to the merits of the soldiers?

Of course, this is impossible, Zhu Zhihai thinks that he is still a good commander, the front-line soldiers have made meritorious contributions, he will not spare his rewards, this Qiu Yu, he wants to repay him in the fold to the court.

If Zhu Zhihai knew the truth about the battle of the Tonggu Acropolis, and knew that the Tonggu Acropolis was given up by the pseudo-Tang thief army, Qiu Yu's troops rushed to the already empty city wall to seize it.

Especially if I know that yesterday more than ten miles south of the Tonggu Acropolis, Qiu Yu's department had already collapsed when it was still 100 meters away from the puppet Tang thief army, and set a record for the fastest collapse speed since the two armies fought, I am afraid that he would vomit blood three liters in anger and shout: "Come on, pull him down and cut him down!" ”

But Zhu Zhihai doesn't know!

At this time, the battle report from Liping Mansion in the past two days has not been delivered to him, even if it is, it is also a war report that has undergone a lot of artistic processing, if Zhu Zhihai can see the true situation of the war from these war reports that have undergone a lot of artistic processing, then Zhu Zhihai is not the governor of Guizhou but a god.

Basically, in the recent past, Zhu Zhihai has seen a lot of information about the puppet Tang thief army, and it is a battle report of the battle between the two armies, and basically none of the ten sentences are true.

For example, before the complete fall of Liping Mansion before, the final battle report sent by the defending generals said that they would resist the puppet Tang thief army and kill many thieves, no less than a thousand people, and the soldiers and civilians in the city would work together to resist the thieves, and in the end, even if they could not protect the safety of the city, they would inevitably hit the puppet Tang thief army hard.

Just looking at the twists and turns of the local officials in Liping Mansion, I am afraid that the puppet Tang thief army killed and wounded two or three thousand people before and after in order to attack Liping Mansion.

Then coupled with Qiu Yu's side, he said that he had killed more than a thousand thieves before and after, which added up to three or four thousand casualties in less than a month.

How can it be!

At the beginning, the new army of the Tang Dynasty that marched into Liping Mansion had a total of five or six thousand people, if more than half of them were killed or wounded, Li Xuan would have led the army to escape, how dare he fight against 50,000 soldiers from Guizhou Province in Liping Mansion!

Speaking of which, Zhu Zhihai is also very hard-working, he is scheming, painstakingly raising troops, and personally leading troops to the battlefield, but none of the subordinate generals told him the truth.

Well, of course, this can't be blamed on Qiu Yu and them, the generals of the Ming army, telling the truth? You dare to say and try, if he Qiu Yu dares to tell the truth about the battle of the Acropolis of Tonggu, will he be beheaded in minutes!

Alas, it is not easy for everyone!

It is not easy for Li Xuan and them to rebel and be frightened, and it is not easy for Zhu Zhihai and them to suppress the rebellion of the pseudo-Tang thief army!

It's all about losing your official hat or even your life if you're not careful!

If Zhu Zhihai and Li Xuan are allowed to sit down, it is estimated that they will not talk about life ideals, but complaints.

Talking about how hard they are, they may become year-old friends because they feel that they are hard.

Zhu Zhihai in the rear didn't know the specific real situation on the front line, and Emperor Zhengde in the Forbidden City, which was already covered with snow in the far north, didn't know what was going on in Liping Mansion.

On this day, Emperor Zhengde, who was already old, was wrapped in a thick coat, squinting and listening to the little eunuch beside him softly reciting the recitals sent from all over the country.

When he happened to read the recital sent by Zhu Zhihai, he nodded slightly when he heard that Zhu Zhihai said that he had raised 50,000 troops to suppress the puppet Tang thief army, and that there would be a good news report to the Beijing division during the inquiry month.

For Zhu Zhihai, he still trusts him, and he is a loyal and capable minister.

It's just that this person is a big mouth, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself at a great age, and when he was in Beijing, he impeached this today, and that tomorrow, and even when he arrived in Guizhou, he still didn't forget to get involved in the affairs of the court, which offended most of the courtiers, and even Emperor Zhengde felt that he was annoyed.

Isn't it good for everyone to be harmonious, even if the children of the family are greedy for money, it is not normal for the children of the family to break the law, otherwise how can they stand up to them and study hard for more than ten years, and they are also planning to climb to a high position, if they don't get enough gold and silver, buy tens of thousands of acres of good land in their hometown, fuck who went to study in the hanging beam thorn stock, it's very hard!

After all, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book, I have read all the books, and you didn't give me Yan Ruyu's golden house, believe it or not, Lao Tzu immediately rebelled to show you......

Well, this is the reason why Mao's rebellion since ancient times is mostly because of the first scholars, not that they want to rebel, but they want to be officials but can't, since others don't give them official positions, then they will be emperors themselves, which is even higher than being officials.

Those bitter villagers will not play such a lofty thing as rebellion!

Courtiers are corrupt, this is something that everyone knows, even Emperor Zhengde knows that his courtiers do not have a few ministers with clean sleeves, after all, this kind of thing has existed since ancient times, the two professions of officials and prostitutes have never changed much for thousands of years, ancient and full of tradition, and it is absolutely impossible for you to change it.

You wish Zhihai a good day, and take out these things twice in three days, for fear that outsiders will not know how corrupt the officials of the Ming Dynasty are.

To be harmonious, you don't know it, and you can't publicize the ugliness of the family!

When Zhu Zhihai was sent to Guizhou, many courtiers wrote farewell poems, most of them used words such as "thousands of miles" and "thousands of miles", and some people used words such as "no return" and "no return".

That scene was like thousands of people singing Fei Yuqing's sentence 'I'll send you away, thousands of miles away!' It's the same, it's very moving!

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhengde threw the idea of cherishing Zhu Zhihai to Java, and now that the court is in an eventful season, it is better not to transfer Zhu Zhihai's old stunned young man back to Beijing, and let him continue to deal with those Tusi and bandits in the poor countryside of Guizhou.

In this way, it is not an insult to his talent, no, now it is just right for him to exterminate the so-called pseudo-Tang thief army.

It's just that this pseudo-Tang thief army is so strange, a small landowner in the countryside can gather so many homeless bandits in such a short period of time, and even conquer Xingquan Mansion City, which doesn't seem like what a small landlord in the countryside can do.

But it's just a little weird!

There are rebellions every year, and there are more than once or twice a year, there are five or six times in a good year, if there is a disaster or a famine year or something, dozens of times are not unseen, the scale of which is large and small, most of them are small-scale rebellions, some of the momentum is not small, and there are many surrounding prefectures and counties.

But!

From ancient times to the present, there have been thousands of rebellions, but few ordinary people have been able to successfully rebel and finally unify Kyushu, China!

So in terms of theoretical probability, this so-called pseudo-Tang Dynasty will be able to make some moves for a while and a half, and even Emperor Zhengde who has affected several provinces thinks it is possible, but it has really become a mortal threat, and even overthrew the empire of his old Zhu family, and Emperor Zhengde didn't believe it when he was killed.

If this is the case, then he will undoubtedly become the most unlucky emperor of all time!

And Emperor Zhengde is conceited, although he is not a saint of the ages or the like, and he is not even a good emperor, but no matter how it is, he will not be unlucky like this!

So, he didn't worry and remained calm!
