"Thanh Hoa City is the retreat of Annam Daluo City."

"If our Chinese army comes from Zhennanguan, the Chen Dynasty of Daluocheng will flee in a hurry, and fight to the death......"

"You can retreat to the sea and let Chen run south."

Chang Sheng, the general of the Southern Expedition, had a solemn face, with an earnest and tangled complex expression, and before he led an army composed of 20,000 Jingwei and 20,000 southern soldiers to Nanguan, the town of Guangxi Province, he told Zhu Yunxi, the imperial grandson, who was the supervisor of the Southern Expedition army.

And this passage already happened half a month ago.

At this moment, on the Beibu Gulf of Zhuchi, where there is a light breeze and few waves, one giant ship after another is heading due west with full sails.

On the sea, the fish leaps and the birds fly, the warship full of 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and thousands of sailors, and the dragon flag and the sun and moon flag representing the Ming Dynasty are displayed in the wind.

The star flags and beast flags representing the military camps are like forests on the sea, decorating the entire sea surface with colorful colors.

Sima Zhu Gaochi, the Taisun Army, walked from the deck to the highest part of the deck with a worried face.

I saw that Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Shangbing, who had changed into a thin scale armor, were no different from the other lieutenant generals and colonels on the deck.

"On the day of the general's departure, Yunnan Province had already sent 30,000 troops, led by Xiping Marquis Muying, to attack and coerce the Liaoren Department."

Zhu Yunxi put down the distribution of the Annan cities in his hand, looked at Zhu Gaochi, and frowned: "Things on the side of the Liaoren Department are not as we expected?" ”

According to their military strategy, the Liao people were coerced by the Chen Dynasty of Annam since they plundered Guangxi Province last year.

and Annam, which has a wide plain, presumably the Liaoren are wild monkeys hiding in the mountains, in a state of contact with advanced but primitive tribes.

The most important military strategic task of Yunnan Province to send troops to the Liaoren Department was to make the Liaoren Department have a sense of crisis, so that they did not dare to be asked by Annan to send troops to jointly resist the Ming army that went south from Zhennan Pass.

As long as the Lao Ministry dares to send troops to cooperate with Annan, then Mu Ying will dare to lead people to kill and burn all the territory of the Lao Ministry.

With Zhu Yunxi's inquiry, the main generals on the deck also looked over.

Obviously, in their opinion, the Lao people are not enough, and the only place for the southern expedition this time will only be Annam...... and after the capture of Annam, the city of Cham further south and the Great River Plain to the west.

Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly: "The Marquis of Xiping is in a predicament, the grain route is blocked, and although the soldiers are all officers and soldiers of the Yunnan Guard, they can't prevent the endless ambushes of the Liaoren Department. ”

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were full of doubts: "So, not only did the Liao people not send troops to support Annan, but also did they hide in the farther mountains, but gathered to fight against Xiping Hou?" ”

"Do they dare!" Zhu Shangbing, who has now led a thousand people, immediately mocked.

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes: "The Liaoren Department has already done this." ”

Zhang Wen, Marquis of Huining, immediately asked: "Right now, how can the Marquis of Xiping deal with it, can you retreat?" ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head, nodded again, and said: "The news was sent a month ago, and the general sent it after sending troops, and no one knows what the situation is in Yunnan right now." However, based on Xipinghou's past experience in commanding troops, I think he will choose to temporarily retreat and maintain a coercive posture to entangle the Liaoren Department. ”

Zhang Wen frowned and pondered.

Zhu Yunxi said, "Is there any news from the general's side today?" ”

Today, there are countless fast ships coming and going between the fleets of Changhua County, Guangxi Province and Taisun Province every day, carrying the latest information from all over the world.

Fortunately, with the Ming Dynasty sending troops to conquer Annam, it is now almost impossible to see other ships on the entire Zhuchi except for the Ming warships.

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: "Just now there was a clipper ship coming over, the general's side has already left Zhennan Pass, King Ning is the forward battalion, and it has been forced to ten miles in front of Langshan Pass, and then stagnate, it seems that the general's Chinese army has a military order to pass, and what is waiting over there." ”

"What are you waiting for?" Zhu Yunxi muttered as if talking to himself.

No one knew what Chang Sheng was waiting for, at least Zhu Gaochi didn't.

He could only wait in place, waiting for Zhu Yunxi to make follow-up arrangements.

Zhu Yunxi waited for a long time before he spoke: "There is news from Jinyiwei's side. ”

Say it's too late, then it's too fast.

On the stairs below deck, there was a sound of footsteps.

Then I saw a man wearing a hat and a short-sleeved linen dress with obvious characteristics on Annan's side, but he walked up with an embroidered spring knife on his waist.

After the brocade-clothed guard, who had gone to the coastal area of Annam to spy on information, rode onto the deck, he knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Yunxi.

"The grandson of Qiyu, Jinyiwei is here to report."

Zhu Yunxi waved his sleeves and looked condensed: "Say." ”

"Jinyiwei has now found out that Annan Jianchang City is empty, and the next three cities are empty, and the gate of Qinghua City is closed, and I don't know the details."

Empty city plan?

Annan's reaction puzzled everyone for a while.

Zhu Shangbing also asked in a hesitant whisper: "So, do we want to occupy Jianchang City and the next three cities?" Or just take Thanh Hoa City? ”

Bell, bell, bell.

At this moment, a drum beat was heard at the front of the fleet.

On the towering mast of the huge battleship leading the way, a nimble and agile old sailor was holding the mast in one hand and a small flag in the other, and his feet were symmetrical to the mast.

Small flags were waved continuously, forming groups of flags.

"It's on the coast off the coast of Annam."

Zhu Gaochi glanced at the banner and was pleasantly surprised.

On the deck, everyone looked back at the front of the fleet.

In front of the battle flags, a winding coastline, and the undulating boundary between the earth and the sky, all told the people who said that they had reached their destination.

"After landing, send a battalion of officers and soldiers, order Jingchuan Hou to lead, go out of Jianchang City, go around the city, and go south to the north side of Qinghua City to station."

Zhu Yunxi belonged to the future Jiaozhi Dao land of the Ming Dynasty, his expression was shocked, and he ordered in a deep voice.

The military Sima Zhu Gaochi immediately received the order, and the generals praised him.

On the flagship, sailors climbed the mast and issued a military order for a battalion of officers and soldiers to go around Jianchang City and station in the north of Thanh Hoa City in the south.

Immediately, several warships on the left side of the fleet accelerated forward and leaned against the unmanned pier on the sea outside Jianchang City.

A whole battalion of officers and soldiers disembarked, Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen, dressed in military armor, stood in front of the dock to establish a defensive line, and several groups of scouts roared into the depths of the horizon.

To tell the truth, I've been chasing more with reading books recently, switching sources, and reading aloud with more timbre,.. Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Then several large transport ships docked, and horses were sent to the docks.

After a thousand horses had landed, all the ships returned to the deep water.

On the wharf, the officers and soldiers also sorted out their outfits one after another and fed the war horses with beans mixed with fine salt. After all the preliminary preparations were completed, the officers and soldiers of the entire battalion had already marched on wheels and disappeared towards the depths of the territory of Jianchang City.

When the 1,000 people who landed completely disappeared from the fleet's field of vision, the generals of the flagship silently looked at the imperial grandson who was standing at the railing.

Zhu Yunxi patted the block and whispered: "The whole army will go south and take Qinghua City directly!" ”

……

In the mountains and mountains in the southern part of Guangxi Province, mountains and ravines have become obstacles that have always hindered local transportation.

Zhennan Pass with the courage of a pass, in the south of Pingxiang Prefecture will be the enemy in the south of the south to block the death, after the pass is the land of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, the entire Zhennanguan army gathered, blocking a small valley tightly, so that the rear army of the Southern Expedition army stopped outside the small Pingxiangzhou City.

Opposite to Zhennan Pass is Annan Langshan Pass, which is only a few dozen miles away in the southeast.

Lang Son Pass is said to be a pass, but it is just a wooden village built on the mountain road behind the Qiqiu River.

However, the Qiqiu River was the real obstacle that really blocked the Ming Dynasty from going south to Annam.

The north bank of the Qiqiu River at this moment.

The house that originally belonged to the people of Annam had long been empty and occupied by the Ming army.

On the south bank of the Qiqiu River, there are a lot of Annan soldiers guarding the two prominent parts to the north, which are horns of each other from the position to guard against the attack that the Ming army may launch at any time.

On the south side of Lang Son, the lower reaches of the Qiqiao River can enter the mountain pass inside Annam, and there are no less than 10,000 Annam soldiers gathered.

As long as the Ming army crossed the Qiqiao River, it could enter the hinterland of Annam unimpeded. With the might of the 40,000 Ming army, Annan was unstoppable.

"Your Highness, does the general really want us to cross the river and go straight to the mountain pass?"

On the north bank of the lower reaches of the Qiqi River, the lieutenant lieutenant of the battalion looked at the Annan people gathered on the opposite bank with a worried face, and asked Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, who was watching the situation on the other side with a telescope in hand.

Zhu Quan put down his binoculars and looked back at his own 3,000 forward battalion behind him.

Zhu Quan said in a deep voice: "Can you find a place for the general to cross the river?" ”

The lieutenant shook his head: "My subordinates have sent several teams of scouts to search along the upper and lower reaches of the Qiqiao River, and although there are a few places within fifty miles of the surrounding rivers where the general can lead his army to cross the river, there are Annan people stationed there. ”

Zhu Quan asked again: "Is there a way to cover the army crossing the river?" ”

In Zhu Quan's heart, Annan has no places and people that can stop the Ming army's expedition, and the only thing that he, the forward officer, needs to consider is how much the Ming Dynasty needs to pay in exchange for the unimpeded and indomitable momentum of the army.

The lieutenant waved his hand and twitched a few times at the air in front of him, his face a little embarrassed.

If it weren't for the hundreds of people from the Tai Hospital who came from Yingtian this time, and brought countless medicinal herbs to provide to the officers and soldiers in the army, I am afraid that these mosquitoes and flies would make the army miserable.

He put a close-fitting medicine bag on his chest from his bosom, so that the effect of the medicine could be more direct, and then the lieutenant spoke: "The subordinates think that there is a wide area of the river twenty miles downstream, and the river is not deep, as long as it can attract the attention of the Annan people on the opposite bank, and the surprise soldiers cross the river downstream to destroy the Annan people guarding the river beach, they can let the general lead the army to cross the river and smash the Yellow Dragon." ”

【Daming Sister-in-law】 【】

Zhu Quan said in a deep voice: "How much movement is needed." ”

The lieutenant groaned for a moment, and said an answer that was as adequate as possible.

"At least we need to make more than half of the Annan people on the other side dare not move."

Zhu Quan nodded, and once again picked up the binoculars and looked at the Annan military camp on the other side.

Disorganized, with no military formations to speak of.

This is Zhu Quan's evaluation of the Wan'an soldiers on the other side of the Qiqi River.

Immediately, Zhu Quan blurted out: "Send someone to the camp of the Chinese army, please transfer 10,000 catties of gunpowder, this king will open the way for the general, and the south will be safe and prosperous!" ”

……

"This is Thanh Hoa City?"

Zhu Shangbing looked at Tsinghua City, which was hanging a war-free card in front of him, and was stunned for a while on horseback, not knowing how to express the complicated emotions in his heart.

Zhu Gaochi was also a little unconvinced: "The people of Jinyiwei led the way, and it was confirmed by public opinion that it must be Qinghua City." ”

Zhu Yunxi also couldn't believe the city gate of Thanh Hoa City in front of him.

I saw that the city gate of Thanh Hoa City, which was originally detected by the Jinyi guard, had been completely opened at this moment, and the officials of Thanh Hoa City, Annam, who were supposed to defend the land and fight to the death, were actually standing in front of the city gate in groups with the gentry in the city.

Several of the men who had taken off their official uniforms knelt on the edge of the road leading to the city, the leader holding a tray in both hands on which a square object covered by a red cloth was placed.

This is the rhythm of surrender and dedication.

"Would you like to send someone over and investigate?"

It was Puding Hou Chen Huan who spoke.

Zhu Yunxi hesitated and said, "Order, let Zhang Wen, who is parked on the Ma River, drive upstream with the fleet to find out if there are Annan soldiers lurking." Send for questioning under the city gates. ”

Chen Huan nodded and ordered to receive the order, and in a few moments, there were heralds rushing to the north of Majiang, and another team of scouts cautiously approached Qinghua City.

Finally.

Everyone is sure that Qinghua City is determined to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

In the face of tens of thousands of Ming troops, the officials of Qinghua City, who were worried, finally relieved when they saw a group of generals in the Ming army.

As long as it is not pressed by the army, this means that the Ming Dynasty will not kill people in Thanh Hoa City.

"The unfortunate minister Chen Qiong see the general of the Ming Dynasty, see the general of the country."

The official of Thanh Hoa City in Annam, who called himself Chen Qiong, was the one who held his hands high and knelt down to welcome the Ming army with his hands held high and held the seal of the lord of Thanh Hoa City.

Zhu Shangbing pursed his lips, feeling that these Annanye monkeys were really spineless, and he hadn't even killed anyone since he came ashore.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Yunxi silently.

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly: "You are a person, you are guarding the land, you are a good person, you are prosperous, you are prosperous, you are honest with the city, why are you cheap, please get up quickly." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi silently looked at the people who surrendered to Qinghua City behind Chen Qiong.

Judging by their clothing and appearance, most of them are city officials and gentry, but not a single ordinary person has ever seen them.

Chen Qiong didn't get up, but raised the seal of the city lord of Qinghua City in his hand higher: "The untouchable ministers are incompetent, and they have never been able to leave the Chen Dynasty's wealth for the general, so they have to sacrifice a city, and ask the general to collect the seal and punish the crime." ”

Chen Chao's goods?

Zhu Yunxi frowned, a little more curious.

Zhu Gaochi, who was standing beside him, shook his robe, and stepped forward to take the city lord seal in Chen Qiong's hand.

【Daming Sister-in-law】 【】

"Da Ming received the seal of the city lord of Qinghua City, Cheng City Lord should hurry up."

Zhu Gaochi lifted the red cloth on the tray and confirmed that it was the seal of the city lord of Qinghua City, and then said to Chen Qiong without saltiness.

After that, Cheng Qiong stood up.

The officials and gentry of Qinghua City, who knelt behind him, also stood up one after another, but they all bowed their heads with their hands tied, not daring to trespass in the slightest.

Zhu Yunxi asked curiously: "What does the city lord mean by saying that he has never been able to leave the Chen Dynasty's goods?" ”

As soon as he heard that the Ming Army, a young general who was obviously in command of an army, but was too young, talked about the Chen Dynasty, Chen Qiong suddenly became angry.

"Rotten the royal family of the Chen Dynasty, I heard that the kingdom of Shangguo recovered peace...... Jiaozhi, who actually plotted against him, abandoned Daluo City, secretly took the countless gold and silver of the royal family and quietly went south, and fled to Shenghua City. ”

The Chen Dynasty royal family ran away?

Chen Qiong's words surprised the Ming people present for a while.

Who would have thought that before the Ming army came, the royal family of the Chen Dynasty in Annam was already frightened, and the royal family secretly abandoned the land with gold and silver treasures.

As soon as he ran, he ran to Shenghua City, which was handed over to the south of Zhancheng.

Suppress the doubts in your heart.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked at Chen Qiong, who was standing in front of him with his hands bowed.

I only heard him say quietly: "Then why did the city lord say that he never left the Chen Dynasty royal family?" ”

Chen Qiong immediately looked ashamed, looked embarrassed, and stood up.
