The first wave of attacks hit the city wall, which was indeed somewhat unexpected by Wang Xuan, but it was already like this, and Wang Xuan would not deliberately let the soldiers withdraw.

"Send another 3,000 people to go up and take the city in one go, and at the same time order the special combat team to cooperate with the main attack force to annihilate all the resistance forces in the pass in one fell swoop."

After the order, Wang Xuan didn't bother to look at it, Annan's affairs were almost like this, and the follow-up matters could be left to his subordinates to solve.

The 15,000 Annan soldiers were like a fortress on the beach, they were washed away in one fell swoop, and most of the dead and wounded were killed, and there was no need to treat the injured, so they were directly sent to the west with a knife, and the province suffered in the world.

Only those who can remain intact are fortunate to join the great and glorious Annan 'Wang Xiejun', and contribute their small strength to serve the people of the Great Ming Dynasty.

In this battle, a total of more than 600 people were killed and wounded, and more than 10,000 Annan soldiers were killed, but the general who defended the city felt wrong in advance and ran away.

Fan Wencheng stood beside Wang Xuan and reported the situation respectfully.

Wang Xuan bowed slightly, closed his eyes and said casually: "Give the captives to Chen Xinyuan, expand Wang Xie's army, and leave the checkpoint at the junction with Lianzhou Mansion in Guangdong, let him persuade him to surrender, and expand Wang Xie's army to about 15,000 people, and keep it for later." ”

"My subordinates understand."

"In a few days, there will be a big ship to send people from the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Mining, settle them, prospect here, in the first phase, two cement factories and masonry yards will be built, and then a lumber yard and a shipyard will be built here, this side is rich in forest resources, and the road construction should also be put on the agenda."

"Keeping so many Annan people is used to do hard labor, of course, don't be too harsh, no one will work if you are starved to death, and wool harvesting must be sustainable."

"The Lord is wise."

"Let's do this first, there is not enough manpower, and there is no way, after occupying Guangdong and Guangxi, we will slowly solve the manpower problem."

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates have retired."

After Fan Wencheng left, Wang Xuan thought about the next plan by himself, and the occupation of Annan was only the first half of this big plan, which involved Guangdong and Guangxi.

This is also the reason why he deliberately asked Qi Hongliang to take office in Guangdong back then, and the foreshadowing has been buried for two years, it is time to move, and after Chen Xinyuan completes the expansion of Wang Xiejun, many things can be operated.

Chen Xinyuan's journey of persuasion to surrender was very smooth, after all, there was a bloody slaughter army standing behind him, and he could persuade you to surrender to give you face, so why don't you immediately find a Han person in the eight generations of your ancestors to come out, and shout that Lao Tzu is a descendant of the Han people.

……

In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, in the autumn, Annan entered the Kou again, the bandit leader Chen Xinyuan, raised 20,000 troops, called 'Wang Xiejun', invaded from Siming Mansion in Guangxi and Lianzhou Mansion in Guangdong, and was like a broken bamboo all the way.

In the Siming Mansion, Hu Zhifu looked at General Annan who defected with an anxious face and said: "Are you sure, it was Wang Xuan who joined the army this time, not you Annan people, why did the people who came to report below say that it was Annan soldiers?" ”

"It must be the bloody slaughter army under the damn Wang Xuan, what Annan soldiers, they have long been incorporated by him, and now they are called Wang Xiejun!"

"How dare he, it doesn't matter if he makes a fuss in Annan, he dares to invade my Daming territory, it's just a rebellion!"

Damn, it doesn't matter what you mean to make a fuss in Annan, damn, you can't speak, if it weren't for Lao Tzu sending someone under the fence now, Lao Tzu would cut you directly!

But this is not wrong, the Ming court, for those who dare to pull the flag and rebel, has never been soft, to say that the hardness of this aspect, Da Ming is really the most strong.

Regardless of whether Governor Hu knows the inside story or not, when he reports to the imperial court, he can only write that the leader of the bandit is Chen Xinyuan, after all, his source is not visible, can he tell the imperial court that this news is accurate, and it was sent by the buddies who have cooperated with me to rob the mansion all the year round, one of the three irons, it must not deceive people......

When the news got out, he was not far from being cut by a thousand cuts.

This is also the reason why Wang Xuan took in Chen Xinyuan, which is extremely useful for the dead ghost.

At this time, Wang Xuan, who was divided into two ways to march into the army, had already occupied several counties in both provinces, and the soldiers were directed at Fucheng, and the county towns were sent to Fucheng like snowflakes.

In fact, this belongs to the border pass, according to the imperial court setting, whether it is Siming Mansion or Lianzhou Mansion, there are no less than 30,000 troops, after all, the Ming Dynasty is known as the border army of one million.

But the facts are true, under the leadership of the bloody slaughter army, Wang Xie's army also broke out with extraordinary combat strength, with a number of 7,000, facing the old, weak, sick and disabled with a nominal army of 30,000, but in fact less than 10,000, a charge broke through the enemy's position like a bamboo.

Annam's entry into the Kou is a major event, especially the occupation of the county seat, which has the meaning of long-term entrenchment, and the news gathers to the governor's yamen, and then from the governor here at an expedited speed of 600 miles directly to the Beijing division.

Qi Hongliang has been waiting for this news for a long time, according to the plan, there is also a secret letter from Wang Xuan to Li Shantang in the six hundred miles expedited, and after it is sent out urgently, he can take over the military and political power of the province in wartime as the governor of Guangdong.

"Lord, what are the arrangements for the future?" Qi Hongliang turned his head to look at Wang Xuan, who was sitting on the side, enjoying the leisurely service of his personal maid, and asked respectfully.

In the past two years, as Wang Xuan's power has expanded day by day, the power on his body has become more and more heavy, and Qi Hongliang, who used to call Wang Xuan's name, simply changed his mouth and shouted the Lord after seeing Wang Xuan this time.

These are all natural things, Wang Xuan had expected it, of course, if Qi Hongliang was not aware of it, then someone would naturally remind him.

Wang Xuan played with his little hands and said slowly: "Send orders to all the guards, let them all roll to the front line of Lianzhou Mansion to resist the invasion of Annan." ”

"My subordinates understand that the guards in various parts of Guangdong have long been eroded, and they are used to seeing the excellence of our Fujian soldiers, and then looking at the Guangdong soldiers, it is really unsightly." Qi Hongliang nodded and said: "Mobilize them all to the front line, and if they are capable, let them sacrifice their lives for the country, and leave a good reputation." ”

Wang Xuan laughed, "You are kind-hearted, for so many years, how much blood these guys have sucked, the Ming military system is sparse, although the root cause is not in them, but these guys are also not guilty, how can they just say it, this kind of example will be established, and people will inevitably have a fluke mentality." ”

"You don't have to be soft this time, you should do what you want, just do it, it is also the time to establish the prestige of your Fujian governor, the law in the army, you must strictly enforce it, you don't have to care about anything, you should arrest it, you should kill it, and you will never be soft."

"This ......" Qi Hongliang hesitated a little, his brows furrowed tightly, after all, when he was in Fujian, Wang Xuan was slowly trying to figure it out, and the means were not so cool, "In this way, it will inevitably cause an uproar, if these people in the army, if they really strictly follow the military law, then nine times out of ten they are guilty of killing their heads, and even worse, it is not too much to raid their families and exterminate their families." ”

"Then raid the family and exterminate the clan, as for the uproar, hehe, do you think they will make a fuss." Wang Xuan looked at Qi Hongliang with a smile, raised his feet on the stool next to him, leaned back slightly, and lay in Youyou's arms.

Wang Xuan's style is really inconsistent with his current status and status, some of them are too profligate, according to some old antiques, they are frivolous and frivolous, and they don't become a climate at first glance.

But the problem is that now that Wang Xuan has become the climate, then it can only be said that this is a true temperament, not pretentious, and has the style of Wei and Jin......

Qi Hongliang didn't seem to see Wang Xuan's movements, and still said in a regular manner: "Even if the salary is serious, but after the concentration of troops in the eleven mansions, there are 20,000, if it is really so strict, in the face of the disaster of killing and exterminating the clan, it is difficult to ensure that those generals in the army will not be able to rebel, if there is a trouble, I am afraid it will ......."

Qi Hongliang didn't say the latter words, and Wang Xuan also understood what he meant, which is also the reason why the imperial court did not dare to really rectify the military system of the guard, that is, for fear of being forced to rebel and lead to local erosion.

"Hmph, this is the reason for you to mobilize them all, leave the place, gather together, you have no chance to harm the place, without these scruples, if you want to rectify them, you can't get to catch them, I don't have the patience to slowly sort out the army like when I was in Fujian."

"This time to block the passage of Lianzhou Mansion to the outside world, this is a dead land, kill them all, but if they don't accept it, they will all be killed, we don't have much else, it's just a lot of people! The armies of the various guards have all been re-recruited, and after sorting out this side, they also have to sort out Guangxi, where there are fewer people and more troubles, but there is no time to delay time here. ”

"No accident, more than a month later, the new will will come down, and then you will be the governor of Liangguang, a proper feudal official, you must take a long-term view, and do things more magnificently, with me behind you, what are you afraid of!"

Qi Hongliang's heart shook, and he also had a little guess about the secret letter to Li Shantang in his heart, thinking that he was about to go further, his heart was also hot, this Annan invasion was simply a big drama, completely to control the two provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi, when it was pacified, it all depends on Wang Xuan's meaning.

However, in any case, in the end, he was the governor of the military affairs of the two provinces, and the merits of defeating Annam were all certain, and the qualifications for entering the court and auxiliary government in the future were almost accumulated.

"Thank you, Lord for planting!" This sentence does come from Qi Hongliang's heart, you know, before he met Wang Xuan, he was just a small prefect of Fuzhou Prefecture, his grandmother didn't love his uncle, and he had to take charge of the military affairs of the two provinces in just a few years, and in the entire Ming court, he was also a famous man, and his life experiences were really unpredictable.

"Don't thank me, just work hard, these are what you deserve, I never treat people who really work hard, the world is so big, in the future, there is a world for your development."
