Chapter 149: Vietnam (9) - Expectations
By the time the shelling was over, the top of the mountain had been blown to pieces. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info looks like a hornet's nest.
Lehi looked through the top of the mountain with a telescope, but found no figure. Then let Java open and attack. Different from the tactics of crowds all over the mountains, the soldiers fanned out in a fan-shaped sequence and surrounded the top of the mountain in an orderly manner.
Ten minutes later, the soldiers reached the top of the mountain. Suddenly, a disgusting smell of gunsmoke mixed with the smell of blood and fishy came to my nose. I saw that the ground was full of big craters that had been blown up, and the dirt was dyed red. Almost all of them are severe, mutilated, or limb. Occasionally, several bodies were found intact, all bleeding from seven holes, and their eyes were wide open, apparently shocked to death by the roar of the cannonballs.
As for the surviving Vietnamese troops, like the dogs of the mourners, they merged into a torrent and fled to the foot of the mountain.
And thousands of meters away in Hue City. King Nguyen Quang Chan of Vietnam stood on the tall city wall with a tense little face. As the capital of the old Nguyen and Tay Son dynasties, Hue City has been operated by two dynasties and has two city walls. Among them, the outer city wall is more than three zhang high and two zhang wide. And because the inner city is an imperial city, the walls are taller and thicker.
For thousands of years, Vietnam has been a vassal state of China. Culture, customs, and other aspects of society are deeply influenced by Chinese culture. Even their official script is heavily written in Chinese. It was not until modern times that it became a French colony and a private land, and the Chinese language completely withdrew from the Vietnamese stage.
Today, this city-building technology also inherits the skills of the ancestors of China and China. In the inner city, in the south, east, west, and north, there are four gates, and the outer city is twice as large as the inner city. The outer city wall is 17 kilometers in circumference, the bottom layer is built with hard stone, and the upper layer is built with blue stone bricks. There are more than 4,000 saw-shaped low walls built on the city, stretching for ten kilometers of embankment.
In Vietnam, it is considered to be the strongest city! I just don't know how much of a role it can play in the face of the strong attack of the Ming Dynasty?
But now, this majestic city wall does give Nguyen Quang Chan a lot of security.
Stepping on the sturdy green bricks, looking at the stretch of official road. Ruan Guangzan's slightly childish face has a maturity that is extremely incommensurate with his age. The sound of the previous artillery fire really scared him. In particular, the top of the mountain a kilometer away was filled with flames, as if a demon had been born. What made him tremble was that he was afraid that he would be taken away by the demon and demon.
At the same time, he is worried! With such sharp artillery fire, can your own army cope with it? It's just that I don't cry when I don't see the coffin! When the facts are not in front of him, he still has a glimmer of hope in his heart!
It's just that reality never shifts by human will! Under the huge gap in strength, many things are predestined!
At this time, beside Ruan Guangzan, the young master Chen Wenji, the Taiwei Fan Gongxing, the escort Ruan Wenxun, the big Sima Ruan Wenming and other court officials all accompanied him with a worried face. This time, Ruan Rebellion came both unexpectedly and violently. Looking at this posture, the Kyoto army is more than lucky.
They are not the only ones with this mentality. The same is true of the officials of Hue City, big and small. They were all huddled on the city walls, anxiously waiting for the battle report from afar. If a cannonball comes at this time, it is estimated that the rule of the Xishan Dynasty will definitely fall into a state of collapse.
At present, the fire has gone, but many people's hearts have been rippled.
Over the years, the Xishan Dynasty has been attacked and revolted by internal parties. Ruan, in the south, went against the trend of the Great Northern Expedition and conquered the city. Under this double pressure, Xishan headed towards the big ship. It is dilapidated, bumpy and bumpy, and it is a matter of time before it overturns.
Therefore, at the time of this catastrophe, many middle- and lower-level officials are thinking about their own way out. After all, they are not Chen Wenji, the elders of the founding dynasty who followed Ruan Wenhui to fight the country, even if Kyoto is breached, Ruan Fuying does not necessarily have their heads.
Isn't the old saying good? The sky fell, and there were tall men on top of it. The first one to ask for the guilt is definitely their king - Ruan Guangzan!
With such thoughts, many people looked at Ruan Guangzan's eyes and unconsciously changed. Chen Wenji saw the meaning in everyone's eyes, and snorted coldly: "The imperial court officials, except for the loyal battle and death, there is no survival!" ”。
This caused many people to be dissatisfied. But because of his identity, he didn't dare to show it. I can only look at my heart as if I didn't hear anything.
When Ruan Guangzan heard what Chen Wenji said, he was shocked and angry in his heart. He didn't expect that at this critical juncture, these court officials didn't want to serve the country well, but wanted to make a living. It's really insulting to the word 'human minister'.
And in the corner of the city wall, a young man of the same age as Ruan Guangzan, looking at everyone's wonderful performance, unconsciously bent the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled proudly. This is Ruan Van Bao, and Ruan Quang Chan are cousins.
But they don't have a close relationship! In fact, it's an enemy!
Because Nguyen Van Bao was originally a little emperor of the Quy Nhon court, his status was the same as that of Nguyen Quang Chan. Later, Ruan went north, and he had to ask for help from Ruan Guangzan. Unexpectedly, it was to lure the wolf into the room.
Although Ruan was repulsed, his territory was also annexed by Ruan Guangzan. Even his father, Emperor Nguyen Van Yue, was angry to death because of this incident. Is there any reason not to repay such a revenge for killing one's father?
Unfortunately, he was robbed of royal power and changed from a high-ranking king to a loyal and filial duke of Nguyen Quang Chan. And also lost his freedom and was brought to Kyoto from Quy Nhon. From morning to night, he was alive under the surveillance of Ruan Guangzan.
It's ridiculous to say that he was angry with his father, took away his power, and wanted him to be a filial prince with peace of mind? Honoring one's father-killing enemy? Such acts are a hundred times more prevalent than humiliation and humiliation.
So among so many people, only he is the one who most wants to see Ruan Guangzan defeated. And he can be sure that this Ruan Guangzan will definitely be defeated.
That's because a few days ago, Daming's Intelligence Department found him and asked him to cooperate with the outside world. He didn't know anything about the prestige of Daming. Therefore, there was no need for Daming to throw out the conditions, he was very happy to agree.
For him, as long as he can see Ruan Guangzan die, he is willing to do anything.
So the powerful Daming Intelligence Department helped him avoid the eyeliner and contact the old subordinates stationed in Quy Nhon. When Nguyen Phuc Anh went north, he opened the city gate and surrendered Quy Nhon City.
Now, Quy Nhon City has probably changed hands!
Good cousins and cousins hate each other so much. It can only be said that creation makes people!
At this time, a large group of soldiers suddenly ran on the official road. Among them, the chief secretary is Li Zhong, and he is still at the forefront. When you see its disgraced face, you know that the battle has been defeated.
You must know that this Li Zhong is a person who has won battles with the Qing Kingdom, and now he has lost his armor like this, which is enough to prove the strength of the Ming Dynasty. Then Ruan Guangzan, isn't he closer to death?
Glancing at Ruan Guangzan, who looked anxious, he suddenly felt an unprecedented pleasure.
