Chapter 376: Nesting with No Eggs (Part I)

kicked open the gate of the palace, which had been engulfed in flames, and the commander of the Ming army who took the lead raised his arms, and Erlang behind him was already roaring and rushing in. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The crossbowmen holding the crossbow of the divine arm don't even need the cover of the shield, rushing to the front, after all, in the firelight, only the panicked, fleeing Annan soldiers and eunuchs and palace maids, can no longer find one or two people who have the ability to resist, in the face of the Ming army pouring into the city from all directions, in the face of the killing gods who seem to fall from the sky, the Annan people have lost their fighting spirit.

Arrows whistled into the darkness, people fell, blood flowed and soaked the ground. As for how the army should act in Annan, Ye Yingwu did not explain in a word, but just asked Zhang Shijie to let it go.

Since you let it go, there is no compassion to talk about.

During the Northern Expedition before, the occupied towns were still Chinese land after all, and the people in the cities were still the Chinese people who ate pot pulp and welcomed the king.

But in the case of Annan, these can be thrown out of the clouds.

For such a small country that does not obey the king's transformation and Yelang's arrogance, whether it is to avenge the former Song people who were looted by Annam for 300 years, or for the revenge for all the sins and sufferings suffered by the brothers of the Divine Guard Army who have been swaying on the sea for so many days, the Divine Guard, who has endured for too long, finally let go of their hands and feet tonight, in Thang Long Mansion.

And in this regard, even Yang Bao and Bian Juyi, who have always been rigorous, turned a blind eye.

Burning, killing and looting, for Annan, there is nothing to be polite!

A group of divine guards swept through the streets, and Zhang Shijie went straight to the newly occupied Imperial City of Shenglong Mansion accompanied by Yang Bao, and along the way, there were even soldiers rushing out of the burning houses and almost hitting the horse team, Zhang Shijie, as the commander-in-chief, just said lightly, "Let the children not play too much." ”

In this regard, the generals at all levels below understood it and ordered them to "civilize" and loot.

But fortunately, the quality of this Annan woman can only be said to be barely eye-catching, so most of the Ming soldiers are still just looting and burning. Although the sow race in the barracks is sable, how can the Divine Guard, which has been repairing in the rich Jiangnan for a long time, put the poor and sour Annan woman in his eyes?

War horses neighed in front of the low Thang Long Palace, and people stood up. Zhang Shijie threw the reins casually, turned over from the horse, and walked up the steps quickly. And Bian Juyi, who led the team in advance, was already waiting outside the gate of the main hall respectfully, and when he saw Zhang Shijie coming, he immediately gave his hand:

"Xianggong, the royal family of the Chen clan of Annan, all of them are in this hall, including the lord of the dynasty and the harem concubines, the prince and princess, and please send the princess."

"You're here to get it clean." Zhang Shijie said with a smile, obviously in a good mood.

And Yang Bao also glanced at Bian Juyi with an approving look on his face, obviously his partner completed the task quickly, give us a long face for the Divine Guard!

Of course, if Zhang Shijie and Yang Bao paid more attention to the many corpses of the palace guards on the long steps that had not yet had time to be cleaned, they would know why Bian Juyi was able to control the entire palace so quickly.

In this Annan Imperial Palace, no matter men, women, young or old, as long as they do not obediently raise their hands and surrender, the Divine Guard Army will be killed, clean and neat, like flowing water. Of course, the consequence is that there are a lot fewer royal family members in this hall, and there seems to be a little more blood in the palace.

Bian Juyi accompanied Zhang Shijie into the main hall and pointed to the figures curled up under the steps of the dragon chair: "This is Chen Huang, the lord of Annan, and a few concubines, and those over there are Chen Huang's brothers and children. ”

Zhang Shijie frowned: "It's true that the lord of Annan is Chen Huang, but I remember that his father is not dead, why didn't I see this monarch who founded the Chen State of Annan?" ”

Suddenly there was an embarrassed look on his face, Bian Juyi wanted to speak and stopped, and a middle-aged man in disarray next to him fell to the ground with snot and tears: "This Ming father-in-law, the villain is the youngest son of the Annan sinner Chen Xuan, the father knows that he is guilty and is afraid of Tianwei, and he has committed suicide by hanging himself,"

"Father?" Zhang Shijie sneered, "I didn't expect Annan's royal family to be so self-aware, and before you can condemn the crime, you have already called yourself a sinner first." ”

The man wiped a handful of tears with his hand and replaced them with a flattering smile: "A few respected ministers of the Ming Dynasty, challenging the prestige of the great tomorrow, it is my brother and father who have no eyes, and the rest of my Annan royal family actually has nothing to do with it, and I also ask a few ministers to be clear." ”

Zhang Shijie glanced at Bian Juyi, and Bian Juyi smiled bitterly: "Letting Chen Xuan commit suicide is a dereliction of duty by his subordinates, and please punish him." ”

Waving his hand, Zhang Shijie said in a deep voice: "After all, this Annan Palace City is not the direction of our breakthrough, there is a lot of time left for these Annan nobles, if they want to commit suicide, no one can stop them." It's just that now it seems that most people still don't have the courage. ”

Bian Juyi subconsciously glanced at the man who was about to hug Zhang Shijie's thigh and cry his father, and couldn't help shaking his head: "I didn't expect this Annan person to be so unlucky, the royal family has only only passed to the second generation, and it is already incompetent. ”

couldn't help but laugh softly, Zhang Shijie didn't look at the man, just strode in front of Chen Huang, who was trembling, and squatted down: "Chen Huang, now you are my Daming's prisoner, and outside my Daming God Guard has controlled the entire Shenglong Mansion, a certain Ming Dynasty is the military department of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to greet you, as long as you put on a good posture, obediently surrender to my Daming, and announce the naturalization of Annan Daming, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Ming King of my family will be merciful and will save your life." ”

Slowly raising his head to look at Zhang Shijie, Chen Huang hugged the jade seal in his arms tightly, and his voice was even a little flat: "What if you don't surrender?" ”

"Father!" Several young princes and princesses of Annam had already screamed and pounced on them, crying around Chen Huang. In this regard, Zhang Shijie and Bian Juyi did not stop it.

The jade seal, which was originally held tightly, finally slowly fell to the ground, Chen Huang reached out and grabbed his children, and finally there were tears on his face that had been gloomy. And the princess who didn't know why, just gently hugged her father, I don't know why my father, who is always happy to play with them on weekdays, is so sad today.

While gently comforting the children, Chen Huang looked at Zhang Shijie: "Can you promise me not to hurt these children, they are still young." ”

Zhang Shijie was silent for a moment, and finally nodded lightly: "As long as you let the entire Annan become a part of my Ming Dynasty from now on, then His Royal Highness King Ming will naturally not embarrass your children, or even your husband and wife." ”

Chen Huang stood up with some difficulty, and didn't look at his few prostrate royal brothers who were crawling on the ground, he didn't expect his father to commit suicide at the last moment, and the most spineless ones were them, what kind of calculation did these imperial brothers play, Chen Huang knew very well, after all, as long as Annan was not incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, but still existed as a vassal state, then after all, a lord was still needed.

Chen Huang, who had made a big mistake, was naturally not selected by the lord of the country, Ye Yingwu wanted to select a person who could serve the public, so he must choose one of these people, no wonder after Zhang Shijie came in, they swept away the decadent look on their faces, and one by one they were ready to come forward to flatter.

After all, it was not their Da Yue who died, it was Chen Huang's Da Yue, instead of being an idle prince who could be suspected and killed at any time under the nose of his brother, it was better to take refuge in Da Ming and be a real puppet lord!

At least when the time comes, on the one-third of an acre of land in Annan, he still has the final say.

Since ancient times, the ruthless imperial family, even a small country in Annam, is not immune to vulgarity after all. Chen Huang felt as if he had been pinched fiercely in his heart, but he still sighed softly and picked up the jade seal again, and bent solemnly in the direction of Zhang Shijie.

A smile swept up at the corner of his mouth, Zhang Shijie took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and pressed on the jade seal, and took it.

As if the last trace of strength in his body was drained, Chen Huang trembled and fell to his knees, this emperor who had not been on the throne for a long time, looked much older than he imagined at this moment, his face was attached to the steps he had walked countless times, and the dragon chair was still standing quietly on a higher place, but from today onwards, he had no chance to sit on it again.

"Da Yue, Da Yue is dead!" Chen Huang slammed the ground fiercely, crying silently.

And the concubines and princes who were quietly wiping away their tears around them still couldn't help it at this moment, and the entire palace echoed with heartbreaking desolate cries.

Without looking at Chen Huang, Zhang Shijie just held the jade seal tightly, walked quickly to the outside of the palace, and said in a deep voice: "All the men in the palace are loaded into the prisoner car, and the women pack a few carriages for them, and they can be escorted back to the capital to offer prisoners to His Highness." ”

Yang Bao and Bian Juyi glanced at each other, but still nodded slightly.

Even if Chen Huang has surrendered, even if Zhang Shijie promised to ensure their personal safety, the losses suffered by Da Ming in this blood and fire, as well as their mistakes in daring to challenge Da Mingwei, still need to be washed away in this way.

At the same time, escorting the enemy chieftain into Beijing along the way is also the best oath for the military prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

It is necessary to let all the people along the way understand that the good sons of the Ming Dynasty ensure the peace and stability of their lives at all times.

For three hundred years, there is only this Ming!

"This is the first time in 300 years that China has broken the human country." Zhang Shijie carefully put the jade seal in his hand in the box, and said, even he, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, faced with such a scene at this moment, his words were already full of excitement that could not be concealed, "But in the south of Guangnan West Road, there is not only this arrogant Annan. ”

Yang Bao was stunned: "What does Zhang Xianggong mean?" ”

Zhang Shijie sneered and looked up at the gloomy sky: "Annan is fighting down, I'm afraid Zhenla will not be able to sit still this time." Although Zhenla is known as a strong country, I really don't know if they have the courage to challenge the Ming Dynasty, so they might as well invite their lord to come and sit down, and I also want to know what this Zhenla is doing. Since he was ordered by His Highness to pacify the entire south, it is natural that he will also solve his worries for His Highness. ”

"Your Highness, you don't even plan to let go of Zhenla?" Bian Juyi was a little surprised.

Slowly stretched out his hand, and then clenched it tightly, Zhang Shijie said in a deep voice: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Daming, how can you sit idly by and watch a country that may threaten the flank at any time. As long as Zhenla is hostile to Da Ming, then Da Ming doesn't mind sweeping him up before the Northern Expedition! ”

Word by word, he slammed on the ground, murderous.

And Yang Bao and Bian Juyi glanced at each other, and their faces also showed solemn expressions.

"The Annam monkey tore a hole outside the Jingjiang military camp?! What's going on?! Li Fu shot the case and was furious, "Didn't they let them withdraw all the people to defend on the periphery, didn't they let the flying thunder cannon cover all the camps, why would there be Annan monkeys rushing out!" ”

Several soldiers covered in blood ran over quickly: "General Qiyu, the big thing is not good, the Jingjiang army is now almost defeated, and it has hit the Dali army behind, the Dali army retreated without a fight, and the Annan monkey is rushing straight to our Chinese army camp under the leadership of Chen Guojun." ”

After taking a long breath, Li Fu pulled out his sword: "Order the Xuanwu Army to hold up the torches, hold up the flag, and go to the top with a certain one, even if the Jingjiang Army and the Dali Army are defeated, my Xuanwu Army can't take half a step back!" ”

"No!" From Yang Ting downwards, a group of generals responded at the same time.

The Chinese army camp is a place to hoard grain and grass materials, and it is also a position for flying thunder cannons and trebuchets, once the Annan monkey breaks through the two lines of defense of the Jingjiang army and the Dali army, it is equivalent to opening the Chinese army camp Chiguoguo in front of Chen Guojun and his subordinates, when the firearms and grain and grass are destroyed is still a trivial matter, once the flying thunder cannon and trebuchet turn around, I am afraid that all the departments of the Ming army will collapse.

After all, the Ming army has not been baptized by flying thunder cannons from beginning to end, and no one can guarantee that the Ming army has the ability to stabilize its position under such a firearm bombardment that is enough to defeat the Mongolian cavalry.

Li Fu's general flag has been slowly raised, replacing the previous fluttering in front of the main tent of the Xuanwu Army, and the Xuanwu Army soldiers who have been waiting for the Annan monkey to kill the door are also out of the camp one after another, the footsteps are dense like rain, and the figures are shaking in the flickering firelight.

"Brothers, you can't let the Annam monkeys go!" Lou Yong's eyes were already red, and the big knife in his hand smashed the blade of an Annan soldier, and sparks flew everywhere. Packets of explosives fired by flying thunder cannons cut an arc above their heads, and then exploded in the crowd not far away, stirring up countless waves of smoke and air.

Along the periphery of the Chinese army camp, although the Jingjiang army was about to collapse, it still barely resisted the attacks of Chen Guojun's soldiers again and again. Because they also know very well that behind them is the position of the flying thunder cannon and trebuchet, and at this moment, the flying thunder cannon may still have time to be transferred, the cumbersome trebuchet is simply impossible, and more importantly, there is a large amount of grain and grass hoarding in the Chinese army camp.

"Dali army, why hasn't Dali army come up yet!" Lou Yong grabbed the placket of a herald's shirt and shouted loudly, but an arrow whistled and sank into the herald's back, before he died, the young soldier just stared at Lou Yong with wide eyes, blood flowed down the corners of his mouth, and he didn't say a word.

Somewhat dazed, he pushed the robe that died in battle aside, Lou Yong subconsciously looked into the distance, and in the darkness illuminated by the light and fire, he could clearly see that the banner of the Dali Army that was originally standing there had disappeared without a trace, and the flag of the elevated general did not appear, as if the soldiers who were fighting bloody battles here had little to do with the Dali Army.

"This elevation, this is to watch the fire from the other side!" Lou Yong's teeth were almost crushed, and the brothers of the Jingjiang Army around him kept falling, and I don't know how many Annan soldiers rushed out of the camp that fell into the sea of fire, just desperately moving forward.

Because the banner of their commander Chen Guojun is fluttering not far away, and it is getting closer and closer to the Chinese military camp of the Ming army. However, the closest reinforcements of the Jingjiang army did not react in the slightest.

"Tsuna, let's retreat, the brothers really can't hold on!" One of the capitals was covered in blood, pushed away the crowd and staggered to Lou Yong, "Even if you lose the trebuchet and grain and grass, it's better than burying the entire Jingjiang army here." ”

"The elevation of the **** is to see death and not be saved, and the number of Annan monkeys is probably more than two or three times that of us, Tsuki!" Another soldier also shouted sadly.

Lou Yong's heart was like a knife, watching one after another Jingjiang soldiers fall in the shadow of the sword and sword, with a strong unwillingness and killing intent in his eyes. The Jingjiang Army and the Yongzhou Army are the children of him and Ma Yan who have worked hard for so many years, and they did not die on the battlefield of the bloody battle with the old enemy like the Mongol Tatars, but they died in the hands of the Annam monkeys, and died under the death of the friendly army.
