37 Battle of the Central Plains
At eleven o'clock in the morning of December 15 in the second year of Daming Honghua, Zhu Hongfeng, the prince of Daming, picked up the champagne and threw it to the ground.
The prince roared: "Attack!" ”
The people around him rushed out with a "swish", brandishing a big knife, and shouting: "Capture Zhao Zhengbao alive, get 10,000 gold yuan!" Come on! Come on! Come on! The time has come to be loyal to the country! ”
The Central Plains army rushed to the north bank of the Yellow River with a 100-meter sprint, and as soon as they stepped on the land of Hebei, suddenly a lot of cars rolled towards them! It's not an ordinary car, it's a car with a lot of steel plates, and there are a lot of long thorns on the steel plates!
Those who didn't have time to dodge were directly passed into sugar gourds; Those who dodged to the side were cut off by the waist, and their intestines and stomachs were running all over the ground like little mice; Those who dodged into the ground were crushed into a pulp.
Li Yishun, the overseer of the Central Plains, shouted: "Don't run, keep rushing!" ”
The prince Zhu Hongfeng, the governor Guo Zhongren, and the overseer Li Yishun hurriedly retreated under the cover of the guards.

The cars of the Hebei army rushed into the south bank of the Yellow River and recklessly crushed the crowd.
The Central Plains Army picked up spears and javelins and stabbed them at the car, and some of those with guns shot at the car.
Gradually, many cars were wrecked.
At this time, motorcycles swarmed out of the bridge.
Each motorcycle sits two people, with the driver in front and a rifle in the back.
The extremely fast motorcycles roared, and the gunners behind them focused on the standard-bearers of the Central Plains Army.
After a while, the Daming Flag, the Central Plains Flag, and the Wang Ye Flag that were fluttering in the wind everywhere were all frightened.
The flag is the soul of the army, and the fall of the flag is the greatest shame, but now it can't be controlled so much.
The speed of the motorcycle was too fast for the bow and arrow to hit at all, so the heroic Central Plains Army rushed directly to the motorcycle and stopped them with their own flesh and blood.
- Hearing such heroic deeds of the Royal Army, I couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.
At this moment, the subsequent cavalry rushed in!
Legend has it that Yan Zhao, the number one in the world, rushed in! Although the cavalry of each province said that they were the legendary number one cavalry in the world, I thought that Yan Zhao Tieqi was the first in the world, because I had only heard of Yan Zhao Tieqi, and what happened later made me know how cavalry crushed the infantry.
There are only a few dozen cars and only a few hundred motorcycles in the Hebei Army, but there are tens of thousands of Yan Zhao Tie riding from the Yellow River Bridge!
Pity the five million Central Plains infantry!
The cavalry frantically slashed and slashed the infantry, and the horses outside the fortress trampled the infantry of the plain.
The wind-like iron cavalry surrounded, cut, and broke off the infantry, the light cavalry continued to shoot arrows at the infantry, and the heavy cavalry rushed at the infantry, knocking them all down and trampling them to death.
The follow-up Hebei infantry rushed over with machetes and carried out the final liquidation of the defeated Central Plains infantry.
The Central Plains Army, known as five million, ran out in less than an hour!
Even if you kill five million rabbits one by one, you have to kill them for a few days and nights, right? And now, five million people have run out of smoke in a single smoke!
Of course – I'll tell you the truth.
Although both Chang'an and Hebei say that the five million Central Plains Army was wiped out, in fact, first, who knows how many of these five million people actually were; Second, even if there are five million people, probably tens of thousands will die, and the rest will all run away!
People were originally forced to be strong, so they won't give you their lives. If it were me, I would run too!

At the Inner Court rally, we listened to the story of the intelligence officer of the Praetorian Army and were shocked.
Someone asked Li Feiyu: "Why don't they open fire?" ”
Li Feiyu said: "Which army do you think is like the forbidden army? The Royal Law stipulates the ammunition quota of the Royal Army, and a full division of several thousand men has only a few shells, and a full army of tens of thousands of people has only a few cars. The most critical thing is that the production of weapons and ammunition is only in the Royal Arsenal, and both the Hebei Army and the Central Plains Army have offended the forbidden army, who will give them ammunition and equipment? ”
Someone asked: "What will happen if the forbidden army fights with the Hebei army?" ”
Li Feiyu: "Well, if it's 10,000 against 10,000 people, the forbidden army can hold out for a minute......"
The man said, "Hey, hey, boss, kidding." ”
Li Feiyu: "Because after a minute, no matter what army is opposite you, there is not a single living person." ”
Everyone let out a "hum" of contempt.
Li Feiyu: "Look, the battle of Tongguan is coming soon, show you chicks what the forbidden army is!" ”

turned around and continued to talk about the affairs of the prince Zhu Hongfeng in the Central Plains.
The prince got into the car he had brought to Luoyang from Chang'an, and fled back to Luoyang with Guo Zhongren, the governor of the Central Plains, and Li Yishun, the overseer of the Central Plains.
Of course, the Hebei army could not catch up with the prince, but they captured a large number of the Central Plains army, several times more than the Hebei army.
They incorporated the surrendered Central Plains Army into the Hebei Army, and then continued to attack the counties.
Instead of resisting, the counties opened their gates to welcome the thieves.
The Hebei army fought more and more, faster and faster, and soon reached Luoyang.
After making a fierce oath before the siege of the city by the thieves, apparently still written by Guo Zhongren, the prince immediately fled to Chang'an in a car.
Civil strife broke out in Luoyang, and a few hours later, Kaecheng surrendered, and at this time the Hebei army had not yet touched Luoyang!
In other words, Luoyang had already fallen on December 20 of the second year of Daming Honghua!
The Luoyang of Tokyo, which shocked me, the Luoyang of Tokyo, which is known as the center of the world, the Luoyang of Tokyo, where 10 million people lived, and the Luoyang of Tokyo, which I thought would never be breached, fell before the rebels arrived.
I don't think it's a bad idea for the prince to run away, the prince is very self-aware, and he will definitely be eaten alive by Luoyang if he stays in Luoyang.
Wang Ye and his entourage ran back to Chang'an in despair, and the Hebei rebels broke through the Central Plains all the way.
At present, more than 300,000 square kilometers of land and more than 200 million people in Hebei, plus more than 300,000 square kilometers of land in the Central Plains, and more than 300 million people, all belong to Zhao Zhengbao.
With a total area of more than 600,000 square kilometers, a population of more than 500 million, and two capitals, Zhao Zhengbao finally has a foundation to confront the central government.
Although there is still a gap between the Ming Dynasty with an area of more than 20 million square kilometers and a population of 4 billion, the Central Plains is the center of the world, and the population wealth is second only to Jiangnan.
Due to the rapid surrender of the Central Plains Army, their personnel losses were actually not significant. The counties all opened their doors and surrendered, and it did not have much impact on the people.
If there is any change, it is that the Central Plains has become better under the iron heel of the Hebei Army, because there are fewer taxes and conscriptions.
This is the Central Plains Battle in the second year of Daming Honghua.
Emperor Zhu Honghua only learned about this battle at the last moment on the last day of the year.
However, he decided to finish the New Year's celebration with peace of mind and wait until the next year to clean up the traitors.

On December 28, the second year of Daming Honghua, the court meeting.
This time, the number of hundreds of officials was even higher, and many other provinces sent representatives to Chang'an, and everyone was talking in a mess.
After Zhao Zhengbao occupied the whole province of the Central Plains, he did not immediately attack other provinces. But the surrounding provinces were frightened, first the whole province was mobilized, and then people were sent to ask for help from the imperial court.
The group of Beijing officials in Chang'an were also scared enough.
The officials of the foreign dynasty demanded that the imperial court immediately send troops to eliminate the rebels, because the royal family and the imperial court were offended, and there were still twenty-one provinces in the Ming Dynasty, and it was not fun to fight two provinces.
Lin Jiaxiang, the leader of the Jiangnan Party, also stepped forward to impeach the prince at this time.
I saw that all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty pointed at Lin Jiaxiang and scolded, and even the emperor was furious, accusing him of being a traitor to the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Jiaxiang said: "I am willing to lead the three million troops of Lingnan to meet the rebels!" ”
The emperor turned his anger into joy and said, "Okay, go and fight!" When will the Lingnan Army arrive? ”
Lin Jiaxiang: "Lingnan is 5,000 kilometers away from Chang'an, and the Lingnan army can arrive in a year and a half!" ”
The emperor's smiling face immediately froze, and he threw out a pile of folds: "Get out!" ”
The emperor shouted again: "Minister of War! ”
Sun Haomiao, Minister of the Military Department, stepped forward.
The emperor asked him, "What is the military situation in Gyeonggi City?" ”
Sun Haomiao said: "The Gyeonggi army is two million, the Chang'an army is one million, and the forbidden army is one million. You can also transfer troops from Xiliang, and Liaoxi and Liaodong can transfer troops through Xiliang. However, since Tongguan is the only passage between Gyeonggi and other provinces, the thief army has been blocked outside Tongguan, and the troops of other provinces cannot enter. ”
The emperor asked, "Can these armies stop the thieves?" ”
Sun Haomiao said: "This ...... It's up to the forbidden army. ”
At this time, Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court and the commander of the forbidden army, stepped forward and said: "There is no problem, no matter how many thieves there are, they will definitely not be able to defeat the forbidden army." ”
The emperor asked worriedly, "Really?" ”
Liu Xingchao patted his chest and said: "As long as one of the rebels rushes into Tongguan, I will apologize and commit suicide!" ”
The emperor said happily: "Then I will be relieved." ”
