Just when the Tiannan Army placed all its hopes on the Lin family, the former opponent, the Northwest Army, which had long been ready to go, never gave the Tiannan Army any time and opportunity. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 On the night of May 28, 698 in the Gregorian calendar, 100,000 soldiers of the Northwest Army were divided into two routes, and the troops were sent to Tiannan with a momentum like a bamboo, with 20,000 Mott cavalry as the lead on the eastern front, followed by the first division of the Northwest Army Corps, and with the assistance of the dark line of the intelligence department, they quickly broke through several lines of defense and entered the northern part of Zhujiang Province in a big way; The three main divisions of the Second Guards Division were the main force, and the Shahe people in Dandong Province provided a lot of intelligence support and logistical help to the Northwest Army, while the Gaoyue people at the foot of the Hengduan Mountains in the west had already been notified and threw themselves into the battlefield to support the Northwest Army to the south with great enthusiasm.
On May 30, the armies of the eastern and western fronts had entered the hinterland of the Pearl River and Dandong Prefectures, and crushed the defense line of the Tiannan Second Army, which had extremely weak resistance.
On June 1, the armies of the eastern and western fronts arrived at the cities of Zhujiang and Dandong, and the Northwest Army sent a proclamation to the two prefectures and the entire Tiannan County Jiedu Embassy, urging the Tiannan Army to accept the peace proposal. At the same time, Li Wufeng made a statement to the "Northwest Star" in Bashan Prefecture, demanding that the military and people of Tiannan give up their illusions and accept the peace proposal, and that Lang Yongquan, the military and political governor of Tiannan and the governor of Burma, and his principal military and political officials under him should automatically go into the field, and that the northwest would ensure the safety of their lives and property and that of their families after they went into the field.
On the same day, 30,000 nomadic cavalry requisitioned from the Tengger Grassland arrived at the foot of Bashan City, and these 30,000 cavalry were urgently requisitioned from Mott and Tubu as quickly as possible after receiving Li Wufeng's order from the Secretariat of the Joint Military Staff Conference. The 20,000 barbarian warriors borrowed by Li Wufeng from the Baiyin barbarians in his personal name also strode south along the eastern border area of the Tengger Grassland, and the vanguard had already arrived at Mangye Town, Qingyang Prefecture, and the 2,000 military transport vehicles had already arrived in Mangye Town under the arrangement of the War Readiness Administration to wait for loading, and once the Baiyin soldiers arrived, they would load their trucks and go south day and night.
Zhujiang Mansion is an important place in the northeast of Tiannan County, which is not only adjacent to the Bashan Lujiang River, but also adjacent to Sanjiang County in the east. Zhujiang Province is also the flattest province in Tiannan County, with fertile land, abundant water and heat, developed irrigation, and is also a key grain producing area in Tiannan County, which also plays a pivotal role in the entire Tiannan County. Qi Feng is also an old man in Tiannan County, from an ordinary official to the deputy director to the director, and then to the position of city guard, he has been working under the Lang family for nearly twenty years, starting from the Lin Lang family to fight for hegemony, he has witnessed the rise and fall of the Lang family, but he has never been so desperate.
There was a gloomy mist in the city guard mansion, Qi Feng, who was sluggish, sat in the lobby of the city guard mansion in a daze, and the two officers on the side were also pale and listless. Sitting at the bottom were several political axe officials, all of whom were curled up in their chairs with their necks bent and did not dare to speak, the extent of the situation was already known to the whole city, and no one knew how long the Zhujiang Mansion City could hold out.
"Two, what are your plans, do you want to say it, now we are all grasshoppers tied to a rope, you can't run away and you can't run me, if you have any good ideas, let's discuss it." The depressing atmosphere made everyone present look very depressed, facing the Northwest Army under the city, to be honest, everyone had no better way, and it was a stalemate for a long time, and only Qi Feng, who was the city guard, mentioned the topic.
"Master Qi, what do you want the two of us to say? Neither of them is an outsider, and the two of us don't want to hide anything, although nominally we have two divisions under our command, but these two divisions cannot be compared with the previous Second Army Corps, if it is the two divisions of the previous Second Army Corps, even if the Northwest Army is doubled, we will not be afraid, but now, alas, most of the soldiers in our two divisions are newly replenished, and there is not much formal training, let alone such a big battle, look at their previous performance, they will collapse at the first touch, we are not sure. One of the officers sighed and exchanged glances with his companion before he became gloomy.
"Yes, Lord Qi, the Northwest Army is very strong, and they are definitely not only targeting our Pearl River Mansion, I think Dandong Mansion will probably also be in the attack range, if we want to block the pace of the Northwest Army, with our current strength, whether it is Pearl River or Dandong, it is too difficult. Another officer chimed in.
"Then according to the two of you, is it that our Zhujiang Mansion has no ability to resist?" Qi Feng asked with a tight eye on the other two, he had already heard the meaning of the other two, Li Wufeng's statement said that he would protect and guarantee the safety of the lives and property of the officials and their relatives who voluntarily surrendered to Cheng or Shino, especially in front of the public to prove his sincerity, such conditions are quite tempting for many people, especially now that the situation in Tiannan is in danger.
"Lord Qi, it's not us who vent everyone's anger, with our current strength, maybe it won't be too much of a problem to resist for three or two days, but it will definitely not exceed five days. Now the morale of our soldiers is very low, the defeated soldiers fled back two days ago, which is a greater blow to the morale of the soldiers, and the Northwest Army has become the nemesis in the minds of our Tiannan Army in the first war of Kansai, so that we have no chance of winning if these recruits directly face the battle-hardened Northwest Army. The officer who answered first had a straight face, obviously not telling a lie.
"My lord, there is some truth in what the two generals said, although we have asked Nanfeng Mansion for help, but everyone knows that Burma's extermination of the Wenna rebels has drawn all the main forces of our Tiannan Army to Burma, and now Nanfeng does not have many mobile troops, if Dandong suffers the same attack as us, I am afraid that Nanfeng will not send reinforcements at all, they may have made up their minds to give up our Zhujiang Mansion and Dandong Mansion, exchange space for time, let us drag the Northwest Army, in order to win time for them." "On this occasion, it is naturally Qi Feng's henchman and the Minister of Internal Affairs who can speak like this.
"Presumptuous, how could Lord Lang do such a thing?!" Qi Feng changed color and angrily scolded his subordinates.
"Lord Qi, I don't think we need to be taboo about anything, in fact, you and I all understand, now that Tiannan has come to this point, I'm afraid there is not much hope, it's not that we are not loyal to Lord Lang, but now the situation forces us to make a choice earlier, the more we delay, the more unfavorable it will be for us, I believe everyone here understands this. It was still the officer, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and he looked at the castle keeper with a smile rather than a smile.
Qi Feng fell into contemplation again, the situation in Nanfeng is just as the few people said, the Jiedu Envoy Mansion is in a mess, and there is no effective defensive measures and means at all, and now if you want to get through this matter safely, you can only rely on yourself. Fortunately, he has some savings, even if he doesn't guard the city, it's not bad to be a rich man.
On June 2 of the mainland Gregorian calendar, the commanders of the first and second divisions of the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Tiannan Second Army took the lead in opening the city to welcome the Northwest Army into the city, and announced that they would hand over all the military and political management of the Zhujiang Prefecture to the Military Control Commission of the Northwest Army stationed in Zhujiang Prefecture. On June 3, the Shahe tribe in the city of Dandong Mansion and some Tang people launched a rebellion, demanding that Dandong accept the general order of the northwest, open the city to welcome the Northwest Army into the city, and soon turned into a huge rebellion, the two divisions of the Tiannan Second Army stationed in Dandong City were scattered, the command was weak, and they could not control the social security situation in the city at all, and the garrison force was even more coordinated with the rebels, creating chaos everywhere in the city, and soon the situation in Dandong City was out of control, and the helpless Dandong City Guard MacPherson went out of the city on the night of June 4 to invite the Northwest Army to enter the city after discussing with the acting commander of the Tiannan Second ArmyOn the morning of June 5, he announced to the reporter of the "Northwest Star" who came with the army in the Dandong City Guard, and at the same time announced that the management of Dandong Mansion would be handed over to the Northwest Military Management Committee.
On June 4, Lang Yongquan, the military and political envoy of Tiannan and the governor of Northern Luzon, immediately convened an emergency meeting of the whole county after learning that the Lin family had refused to send troops to help him on the grounds that the Maqi Khans were threatening Sanjiang County, as well as the situation in Zhujiang and Dandong prefectures. The meeting lasted until the evening.
After the meeting, Lang Yongquan issued a general order to the whole empire regarding his resignation from the posts of Tiannan military and political envoy and governor of Burma, and announced his resignation. Before going to the field, Lang Yongquan issued a final order in the name of the envoy of the Tiannan military and political festival and the governor of Burma, that is, to order the garrisons in various places, including the 1st and 3rd Army Corps of Tiannan fighting in Burma, to cease fire and wait for reorganization, and to continue to exercise normal functions and powers until the military management personnel in the northwest accepted the management of the local government axe before the transfer of power. At the same time, on June 5, the commander-in-chief of the Burmese Ethnic Reading Army, Wen Na, also announced a ceasefire and canceled the previous request for Burmese reading, saying that Burma would always be absolutely subordinate to the Tang River Empire and the Western Xinjiang Protectorate, and at this time almost no one knew that the Western Xinjiang Protectorate had still not been approved and recognized by the Imperial Central Committee.
On June 12, Li Wufeng, the envoy of the two counties of Guanxi in the northwest of the Tang River Empire and the governor of Northern Luzon, arrived at Nanfeng Mansion, the capital of Tiannan County, and had a meeting with Lang Yongquan, the military and political envoy of Tiannan and the governor of Burma, who had already announced his resignation. The talks lasted six hours, no one attended, and no one was told about the talks afterwards, until decades later it was only a few decades before few details were learned from the few words of historians.
