Chapter 698: No War in the Southwest (5)

(Thank you book friend "Newton Apple Tree" for the monthly pass!) )

Things were just as Zhang Huangyan said, and three days later, Zhu Hongsan looked at An Kun's letter and was dumbfounded.

The letter is very simple, three days ago, the minister's wife Lu drank too much to stay in the palace, the minister was very unhappy not to go, and now the minister is ready to go back to Shuixi, please let Lu out of the city.

Zhu Hongsan didn't expect this An Kun to really endure like a turtle, can he swallow his anger for this kind of thing? Zhu Hongsan not only admired An Kun very much.

But patience is patience, and if An Kun doesn't get angry, isn't his strategy useless? Zhu Hongsan thought about it and wanted to know what An Kun thought, but he was afraid that his strength was not enough.

Zhu Hongsan called over Li Chengen and asked him to find ten soldiers with loud voices, and then like this.

An Kun rode on a Dian horse and stood outside Guiyang City waiting for news from the city. He is now resentful in his heart, but he can't bear it!

While An Kun was waiting, ten soldiers appeared on the city wall, standing in a row and shouting loudly outside the city: "An Kun, your wife I haven't had enough fun, you go back to Shuixi first, and when I've had enough, I will naturally let her go home!" ”

These ten soldiers shouted the words that Zhu Hongsan taught them five times, and tens of thousands of people in the entire city and under the city immediately fell silent. An Kun under the city didn't expect that the Han dog emperor to be so shameless, how could this kind of thing be said in public? The soldiers guarding the city didn't expect that the emperor who was high above was also like them, he liked to play with women, and for a while, the soldiers in the city burst into laughter.

This can make An Kun lose face, although An Kun is submissive in front of Zhu Hongsan, but he is the consolation envoy of Shuixi, the emperor of Guizhou, just twenty years ago his uncle An Bangyan led a large army to besiege Guiyang for nearly two years, and now seeing these Han troops in the city laughing at him so much, An Kun can no longer hold back the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Come on, give me a siege, kill all the Han chickens and dogs that will not be left!" ”

An Kun said it easily, but he only brought 5,000 vine armor soldiers, although the mountain warfare was powerful, but the siege was not prepared at all.

But there was no way, An Kun was now burned by anger, and An Chongsheng did not dare to object, and ordered his subordinates to immediately build a few ladders to attack the city.

Zhu Hongsan had already prepared in the city, and transferred a regiment of the Praetorian Guard Division to the city wall, but the artillery was useless, and he directly killed five or six hundred rattan armor soldiers with a platoon of guns. The rattan armor is very useful against bows and arrows, and the rattan armor is elastic, and the protective knives and guns are also good, but it is not enough to see under the new musket of the Ming army. The three layers of heavy armor of the Manchu Eight Banners can't be stopped, what role can a layer of rattan armor play?

An Chongsheng saw that his subordinates were suffering heavy casualties under the city, and no matter how An Kun cursed, he pulled him out of Guiyang with the team.

Zhu Hongsan was overjoyed when he heard that An Kun had retreated, now An Kun couldn't bear it, right? Zhu Hongsan estimated that in half a month, the army of Shuixi would come to besiege Guiyang, and then the contact between himself and the rear would be cut off, and now was the time to arrange the troops.

Zhu Hongsan immediately ordered the heralds to go out of the city, and ordered the two divisions of Zhou Yu, who were still in Liping Mansion, to advance to Guiyang immediately, one division to occupy Shuidong Caosi in the northeast of Guiyang, and one division to occupy Longchangyi in the north of Guiyang. Anshun belongs to the hilly area, as long as the Shuixi coalition army is not allowed to enter the mountainous area of Qianxi, it is easy to say, in the hilly area, the Manchus are not the opponent of their new army, and those Yi barbarians are naturally not good.

The second order was to order Gu Xingzu, the marquis of Zhenyuan, to mobilize the 18,000 guards of Weiqingwei and Pingbawei around Guiyang, and let them come to Guiyang to help defend the city. Zhu Hongsan's Praetorian Guard Division only had 15,000 people, plus less than 10,000 soldiers in Guiyang City, and the manpower to defend the city was still a little insufficient. Of course, the defending of the city or the Praetorian Division is the main force, but those guards are always good as logistics soldiers.

The third order was given to Li Chengdong, who was far away in Yunnan, and now according to the military report, Li Chengdong had entered Guangnan Prefecture in Yunnan, and Zhu Hongsan ordered him not to go to a decisive battle with Sun Kewang in Kunming, but to go north into Guizhou and occupy Yongning Prefecture, Zhenning Prefecture, and Anshun Prefecture, which were still in Zhu Youlang's hands. Zhu Hongsan's order also has a dirty idea, now Zhu Youlang did not enter Yunnan, but hid in the Yunnan-Guizhou handover of Anlong, Zhu Hongsan estimated that Zhu Youlang was afraid of entering Yunnan and became Sun Kewang's puppet.

Zhu Hongsan didn't want to be charged with killing his relatives, so he let Li Chengdong enter Guizhou and force Zhu Youlang into Yunnan.

After the three orders were issued, Zhu Hongsan had nothing to do, he was only in charge of strategy, and other tactical matters were in charge of the Military Aircraft Department, what marching routes, grain and grass mobilization, and logistics and supplies were all the affairs of the Military Aircraft Department. And Zhu Hongsan returned to the backyard to continue to discuss the structure of the human body with An Kun's wife Lu.

Zhu Hongsan's plan is very good, according to his estimate, Ankun's Shuixi Coalition Army can arrive in half a month at the earliest, and it can arrive in a month at the slowest time, who knows that Zhu Hongsan has been waiting in Guiyang for two months, and the Shuixi Coalition Army has no shadow at all. In the past two months, Zhou Yu's two divisions have arrived, and there is still no news from the Shuixi Coalition Army. Zhu Hongsan had no choice but to send a large number of Jinyi guards to inquire about the news, and finally learned that An Kun was ready to lead troops to take revenge, but it took a long time to assemble the team.

Only then did Zhu Hongsan remember that the Yi barbarians in Shuixi were not an organized Ming army, or the Manchu Eight Banners who took war as their profession, nor were they the Guangdong New Army, the strongest army in East Asia. These Yi people are still in a slave society, and the transportation is still in the era of walking, so naturally they cannot be compared with Zhu Hongsan's new army.

The facts were similar to Zhu Hongsan's estimate, and when An Kun returned to Dafang, he sent messengers to the Tusi of each mountain to ask for help. Of course, the letter did not say that his wife was robbed, and he wanted your help to take revenge. An Kun said in the letter that this time the Han people changed the emperor, and they were ready to implement the reform of the land and return to the river in the entire territory of Shuixi and Banzhou, and all the local officials were revoked. Although An Kun buckled the basin on Zhu Hongsan's head, Zhu Hongsan also thought so, and he didn't wronged Zhu Hongsan.

Now it has only been more than 20 years since the rebellion of Lu'an, when the rebellion of Lu'an was because of the Han people's oppression of local officials, although the Yi people were later suppressed by the Ming army, but the national * contradiction has not weakened at all, and at the same time, because the Ming army burned and looted when the rebellion was suppressed, so the Yi people's hatred for the Han people has increased unabated.

Now when the 48 local officials saw An Kun's letter to all the Yi compatriots, they didn't think about anything else, and led the army to help An Kun.

In this way, Ankun gathered the Yi native officials in Shuixi, Yunnan, and Banzhou, Sichuan, gathered a total of more than 80,000 troops, left Shuixi Dafang, and came to Guiyang with great momentum.

Zhu Hongsan waited from June 20 to the end of September, and finally waited for the Shuixi Coalition Army to come, and Zhu Hongsan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news from outside the city: Fortunately, An Kun came, if I didn't come again, I would really be squeezed out of the bone marrow by the Lu clan!

At first, Zhu Hongsan was still very interested in the Lu family, but after half a month, he found out that this Yi woman was too strong, which made Zhu Hongsan, a veteran of the flower bush, a little overwhelmed. In the end, Zhu Hongsan had the idea of returning the Lu family.

When Zhu Hongsan heard that the Shuixi Coalition Army had arrived, he immediately led his Praetorian Guard Division to prepare to go out of the city to meet the battle. Hearing that the emperor was going out of the city to face the battle, Gu Xingzu, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, was frightened, his face turned green, he knew how strong the fighting power of the Yi people was, and only two or three Ming troops could top one Yi people. Now I heard that there are 70,000 or 80,000 Yi troops outside the city, and the more than 30,000 people in my city are not going out to die?

Gu Xingzu asked tremblingly, "Your Majesty, are you going out to fight?" ”

Zhu Hongsan was wearing armor with the help of the little eunuch, and replied without raising his head: "Yes, Gu Xingzu, you are also ready, take 10,000 people out of the city with me in a while!" ”

When Gu Xingzu heard that he wanted him to leave the city, he was frightened and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't!" The Yi people are good at fighting, 20 years ago in the rebellion of Lu'an, the governor Zhu Xieyuan gathered 200,000 troops in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guangzhou, and five provinces to pacify, now there are 80,000 Yi people outside the city, and our army is only 30,000 people, absolutely not field battles! ”

Zhu Hongsan squinted at this death-fearing ghost and asked, "According to the meaning of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, how can this battle be fought?" ”

Gu Xingzu thought to himself: According to my meaning, I can't fight at all, it was a mistake to rob An Kun's wife two months ago! But how could Gu Xingzu dare to say this in front of the emperor, so he had to say what he thought of to defend the city.

"Your Majesty, the city wall of Guiyang is strong, the Yi people did not break through it twenty years ago, and now it should be like this, use the city wall to frustrate its sharpness, and then gather the troops of the five provinces to destroy them in one fell swoop while the Yi people are tired!"

At this time, Zhu Hongsan had already put on the bright yellow armor, and Zhu Hongsan interrupted Gu Xingzu and said: "Okay, you don't need your guards to fight, I will let you take 10,000 people out to clean up the battlefield for me, and let you see how my new army can defeat these barbarians within an hour!" ”

Zhu Hongsan said to a brocade-clothed guard beside him: "Who is that, do you know that you brought ten brothers to protect the Marquis of Zhenyuan?" ”

Gu Xingzu saw that he couldn't go out anymore, and thought with a bitter face: It seems that my Gu family has been passed down for eleven generations, and I will be extinct!

Zhu Hongsan ignored Gu Xingzu, who had a sad face, looked at himself and was about to stop, and took a thousand brocade guards out of the governor's yamen and came to the school field in the Liuguang Gate of Beicheng, where 15,000 soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Division were waiting for the emperor's arrival.

Zhu Hongsan came to the high platform to look at the soldiers under him, and said loudly: "Brothers, you are all Lao Tzu's team, which was brought out by Lao Tzu, when Lao Tzu took you to the head of Xinyang City, outside the city was the million-strong army of Liukou, and Lao Tzu was not afraid!" Eighty thousand Yi barbarians outside the city came, and Lao Tzu will take you out to fight in a while, are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! ”

"That's right! That's what it looks like! You are Lao Tzu's Imperial Forest Army, the first army in the world, now go out of the city with Lao Tzu to kill those Yi barbarians! ”
