Chapter 0194, birds and beasts are inferior
[ps: The phone is broken, and I can't code words at work, but I hope don't delay the update, sad!! 】
Fan Jinyan subdued Mo Yao, and naturally also accepted Qinghua County, but news also came at this time.
It turned out that after Fan Jinyan personally led a large army north to attack Thanh Hoa County, the Nghe An County Guard suddenly turned back and gathered soldiers to attack the Ngee An Militia composed of 300 people selected by Fan Jinyan from among the people.
After a day of fierce fighting (?) Before they could train, the militia was defeated, and the Nghe An county guard ordered all the 130 captives to be buried alive, and nearly 1,000 family members of the militia were slaughtered.
Afterwards, the dozens of fishermen who betrayed him at the docks that day, along with their families, were executed by Ling Chi, and their bodies were abandoned in the wilderness, still to be eaten by wild beasts.
That's not all, the big and small officials of Nghe An also took this opportunity to frame the people for treason, take the opportunity to make money, force the people to hang themselves, and sell their children and daughters.
The entire city of Ngee Ann was simply shrouded in a bloody storm and could not be dispersed for a long time.
Fan Jinyan was furious.
He Yi is bad! But he still has a bottom line for being bad.
And this county guard of Ngee An has no bottom line, not even a baby in swaddling clothes, and he is not even as good as a beast.
Enraged, Fan Jinyan immediately ordered the navy warships to shell Nghe Ann City indiscriminately, and did not stop the artillery until the city was turned into ruins.
And that's not all, he also ordered that, after the shelling, the navy soldiers landed, but all the officials, soldiers, tax collectors, officials, gentry and their relatives of Nghe Ann were slaughtered, and one was spared, and the military law was engaged.
Are there no good men among the officials, officials, soldiers, and gentry? Do their families deserve to die?
The answer is no.
Fan Jinyan is not a saint, and by doing so, he is undoubtedly setting a signal to the people of Annam, and his Fan Jinyan's order is more important than their king's order.
But if anyone rebels against him, the chicken and the dog will not be left.
Fan Jinyan didn't know that just because of his order, Nghe Ann City was ten rooms and nine empty for a while, and tens of thousands of people died in the bombardment of Ngee An City alone, not to mention the final massacre.
But at the same time, those who are still alive and those who have fled have spread all this throughout the country of Annam, and even the surrounding countries.
He Fan Jinyan also has the title of a demon
After occupying Thanh Hoa, Fan Jinyan did not stop, but continued to attack the inland city of Annam, Jianping County.
But this time it was different, his army had an extra team of Imperial Army.
Ahh
Ahem
It was an additional group of more than 300 people, led by Mo Yao.
As for the other ordinary people who were like a ragtag army, Fan Jinyan waved his hand and all of them were disbanded.
Fan Jinyan didn't care about the number of people, he just wanted to give Annan a signal.
You Annan have been raped, and you are not honest?
Invisibly, poor Mo Yao was detained as a rapist in this way.
But in fact, he is!
Although the Ming Dynasty is the suzerainty of Annan, he is also a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no difference between giving life to the Ming Dynasty and giving life to Annan.
However, he is still a disgrace to Annan.
But he is also the smartest person in Annan
Since Mo Yao had already pledged his allegiance to Fan Jinyan, he naturally revealed all the information in Jianping County.
Jianping County is actually not big, but there are only more than 10,000 people living in it, but unlike the southern city, it is made of huge stones, about seven or eight meters high, and there are arrows around the city wall, which is one of the few defensive cities in Annam.
As for who built it?
Nima is still a general who was sentenced by the Ming Dynasty.
It turned out that a few decades ago, the Ruan clan waved their army north to attack the territory of the Mo clan, and they were like a bamboo all the way, killing the area of the Ma River, and seeing that the capital Thang Long City was about to be lost. At this time, the Ming Dynasty's reinforcement troops finally arrived, but in the face of ten times the enemy, the general who came to the rescue showed his timidity, and asked the Mo clan to send troops to the front, but he built a small military city of the Han people in the rear.
Not to mention, this general can't fight, the defense is still good, so he used this small city that is not big, and he just praised the Ruan family, and then the Ruan family, who killed all the way, collapsed the army, and the current pattern was formed.
After the return of the Ming army, King Annam finally realized the importance of the city wall to the survival of the kingdom. Not only did he order Thang Long Castle to be replaced with a stone wall, but he also nearly doubled the height of Jianping Castle, which was originally only four meters high. In order to strengthen the defensive capability, several higher arrow towers were also built around the city walls, and the invading enemy was shot from a high position.
Not to mention, in the next few decades, the Ruan clan also attacked Jianping, and they were stunned to take this city without a move. It is precisely because of this city that the Mo clan has been spared from destruction several times.
Fan Jinyan was depressed, after decades of fighting, he couldn't take down a city made of stone? Is it that exaggerated?
It's no wonder he thinks so, but the small country of Annan is not as good as the Ming Dynasty, not to mention how to attack the city, only in terms of the composition of the soldiers, it will be a mess.
It would be great if the king of the Nguyen clan could have a thousand soldiers himself, and with a few princes under his command, he couldn't even make up two thousand soldiers. How did you come to be that tens of thousands of troops going north at every turn? The people, the people who were still digging the ground with hoes yesterday. Or the gentry's housekeeper, and so on. And it is impossible for all of these tens of thousands of people to be young and strong, perhaps the old and weak account for a large part.
No weapons, no armor, no heart to die
Is it possible for such an army, which itself resists the war and wants them to die willingly?
Therefore, most wars are just fooling, and if you can hide it, you can hide it, and if you can't hide it, you will wave a few hoes with a fake heart.
This is not only the case for the Ruan clan, but also for the Mo clan, which has the most territory and the most soldiers. Therefore, often a seemingly dangerous war to destroy the country is just a big drama staged by the people on both sides. As for the casualties, they were just accidents that occurred during the exercise.
In this regard, Fan Jinyan is not very cold, and it is child's play to use the number of people to decide the victory of a battle.
For such a city that decided the fate of the country of Annam, what interested him the most was, is Jianpyeong County directly under the jurisdiction of the king, or is the county hereditary?
If it is directly governed by the king, Fan Jinyan will choose unceremoniously to be directly in ruins, and let the arrogant king of Annam know that since Daming can help you build it, he can also push it for you.
But what if it's hereditary? Then it's too lazy to fight, after all, if you fight this kind of city, there will still be casualties, it's not cost-effective, it's better to bypass it and go directly to Thang Long City, the capital of Annam.
Anyway, even if he went deep alone, few county guards dared to come to King Qin. (To be continued.) )
