Zhu Gaoxu's people were like locusts, and they almost emptied the money in the treasury, and finally left 68,000 yuan of copper coins and 46,000 yuan of treasure money, each of which was left with a fraction.

For this reason, a large number of war horses were used, and carts were found, and it took nearly an hour to complete the move.

During this period, there were no soldiers and horses of King Yan, which shows that none of the generals under King Yan thought of coming to grab money, and they were all paying attention to the city gate and ordnance warehouse.

Later, Zhu Gaoxu learned that King Yan had been fighting Xizhimen for a long time, and finally Zhu Neng and Tang Yun, the commander of the guards in Yanshan, went to persuade together.

Historical records: Tang Yun was the oldest among the commanders, known as prestige, and the soldiers thought that they were not bullied, so they dispersed.

This Tang Yun and Xu Xiang are almost the same, they are both veterans in their sixties in the Northern Army, very prestigious, he ran to Xizhimen, saying that King Yan is the destiny of heaven, the king is angry, and the soldiers actually believe it.

I don't know if the history books are made up blindly, but in the past few years, it has been rumored in Beiping City that King Yan has the air of an emperor, and the ancient people really ate this.

The commander of Jiyangwei made Yu Yao see that he couldn't do anything big, and hurriedly ran first with more than 100 henchmen.

Xizhimen was finally captured.

This Yu Yao is very capable of running, first fight with Zhu Gaoxu, if he can't beat it, he will flee to Xizhi Gate, guard Xizhi Gate, but he can't beat and escape, and flee all the way to Juyong Pass, and after guarding Juyong Pass, he sent someone to report to Governor Song Zhong quickly.

After Xizhimen was captured, Zhu Di completely controlled the city of Beiping, and while he rectified the soldiers and horses in the city, he sent people everywhere to surrender.

Because King Yan knew that he still didn't have enough soldiers and horses at the moment, and only by recruiting a large number of soldiers and horses could he continue to fight against the imperial court.

So how many officers and troops were there near Beiping at this time?

The predecessor of the Beiping Dusi was Yanshan Duwei, when Xu Da was brought here from the various tigers of the Southern Northern Expedition, and set up six military guards, that is, the six guards of Yanshan in the early Ming Dynasty: Daxing Left Guard, Daxing Right Guard, Yanshan Left Guard, Yanshan Right Guard, Yongqing Left Guard, Yongqing Right Guard.

At that time, the government offices were all in Beiping City, and after the establishment of the Six Guards, the task was heavy, that is, to deal with the counterattack from the Mongolian forces in the north, and to sort out the security of Beiping and nearby cities, which was inadequate.

Therefore, after obtaining the consent of the imperial court, Xu Da sent Chang Yuchun to continue the northern expedition and swept away the remnants of the Mengyuan Dynasty, and gradually added the following guards: along the border from west to east, Kaipingwei, Yixing (at the beginning, Xuanchang), Miyunwei, and Yongpingwei. Beiping City has been added: Yanshan Qianwei, Yanshan Guard, Pengchengwei, Jiyangwei, Jeju Wei (the above three guards, transferred from Shandong). In addition, there are also Tongzhou Wei (formerly Anjiwei) and Zhending Wei in the hinterland.

In December of the third year of Hongwu, Yanshan Duwei (Zhibei Pingcheng) was formally established to command the above-mentioned guards, so far the military framework of today's Hebei region was formally formed, and entered a period of stability, and then it was adjusted and deployed.

During the four years of Hongwu to the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, only Jizhou Wei, Juyong Guansuo, Zijing Guansuo, Zunhuawei, Yongningwei (Xuanzhuo), Gubeikou Office, Miyun Zhongwei and Shanhaiwei were added as supplements. Among them, in the eighth year of Hongwu, Yanshan Duwei was reorganized into the Beiping Division, in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the king of Yan became a vassal, and the original Daxing right guard and Yanshan guard were changed to Yanshan middle and left guards respectively, and the right guard of Yanshan was added, forming the three guards of the palace.

In the 20th year of Hongwu, the Northern Parallel Capital Division (the predecessor of the Daning Xingdu Division) was established, which further reduced the military pressure in the region, in order to cooperate with the defense work of the Xingdu Division, the focus was to strengthen the construction of the military cantonment of Kaiping Wei, so there were Kaiping, Huailai and other acropolises increased.

As of the end of Hongwu and the first year of Jianwen, the entire Beiping Division formed a pattern of 23 guards, 5 independent guards, and 3 guards, with a full strength of about 140,000 officers and soldiers, and each guarded the key points, echoing each other.

Before Zhu Di, the king of Yan, raised his troops, Song Zhong transferred more than 10,000 elite soldiers from the left and right middle guards of Yanshan, but there were still 1230,000 people around, including seven guards in Beiping City, a total of more than 10,000 people. (Originally, more than 30,000 people were transferred because of the three guards of Yanshan, and more than 10,000 people.) ）

Before the incident, Zhang Hao mobilized almost all the soldiers and horses of the Beiping Seven Guards, and then requisitioned some hoarding soldiers from the nearby Tongzhou Guards and other guards, and as a result, after the war, he almost helped Zhu Di add more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

At this time, Zhu Di's troops increased greatly, and by the evening of the fifth day of the seventh month, there were already more than 11,000 soldiers and horses, and they were still increasing.

The next day, in the early morning of the sixth day of the new year, the veteran Sun Yan arrived in Tongzhou, Tongzhou guard Fang Sheng is Sun Yan's old department, Sun Yan's son is also in Tongzhou, Sun Yan planned to persuade him to surrender, but he went halfway, Fang Sheng's surrender book has been sent to Sun Yan.

Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered Sun Yan and his son to cooperate with Fang Sheng to defend Tongzhou, and at the same time recruit and train new recruits locally.

The seventh day of the seventh month.

Beiping City, in the palace of King Yan.

Zhu Gaoxu received an order from King Yan early in the morning, and when he rushed to King Yan's mansion, he found that there was a commotion inside, and many generals were there.

Some generals who were rarely seen before also came, all of whom were the Yan kings who returned to obedience this time.

Among them, there are many heavyweights, such as Tang Yun, the commander of the Yanshan guard, Chen Zhi, the commander of the guard, Meng Shan, the middle guard of the thousand households, Xu Xiang, the deputy of the right guard, Chen Gui of the dragon and tiger guards, Zhang Xing, the commander of the left guard, and Li Jun, the deputy commander of the left guard, etc., are all senior generals of the Beiping guards, and there is also a Mongolian, that is, the fire in the fire in the fire of the thousand households of the Yanshan guard.

Zhu Gaoxu stood at the door and looked at it a few times, and immediately saw the clue.

The people in the field are divided into two groups, like Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu, Tan Yuan, Huo Zhen, Yuan Hui, Jin Zhong, Yao Guangxiao, etc., all in a group on the left side, representing the henchmen of King Yan, and Zhang Wu, Wang Cong and other original hundred households.

But before the discussion, Huo Zhen was often absent, and Zhang Wu and Wang Cong usually guarded the gate for King Yan and informed people and things.

And Chen Gui, Chen Zhi, Meng Shan, Xu Xiang, etc. are all on the right, representing the newly surrendered generals, the voice of the new surrender is relatively small, only Chen Zhi and Meng Shan, Xu Xiang are chatting, most of the others lowered their heads, or whispered exchanges, or silent, and don't know what they are thinking, Zhu Gaoxu estimates that some of them are coerced, and if they don't surrender, they will die, so it's better to surrender to King Yan for the time being.

As soon as Zhu Gaoxu entered, both sides looked over.

"King Gaoyang." Qiu Fu was the first to shout, and at the same time laughed, his expression was proud, he thought that this time the king of Gaoyang County had made a great contribution, and he could take the lead in attracting Zhang Xin to vote.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and hugged his fists from afar, and then slowly walked towards Chen Zhi and the others.

Before he walked over, Chen Zhi and Meng Shan on the other side, Xu Xiang had already stepped forward and took the initiative to greet him.

"King of Gaoyang County."

"Meet King Gaoyang."

Everyone was more polite, Zhu Gaoxu was a little flattered, he originally wanted to come over to say hello first, but he didn't expect these generals to be so polite.
