Chapter 263: Meet King Han

Fei Yue was a little anxious, pointing behind her and shouting, "What are those people?" Zhong Dequan, you wait, close the door, close the door first. ”

But it was useless for him to say this, the city suddenly shouted that the sound of killing shook the sky, Zhong Dequan and Jin Rong and others drew their swords one after another, because the sky was getting dark, most of the defenders returned to the camp, and there were not many people at the city gate, and the people who were killed immediately turned on their backs.

Zhong had to kill them all, occupy the city gate, and then divide them into two sides and block the corridors on both sides.

Fei Yue had already led people to rush down from above, and a steady stream of officers and troops gathered here.

But the head of the city is usually in wartime, there will be one or two people in a battlement, when there is no war, as now, there is only one person in several battlements, and in a short time their people have to run from a distance, and they have to find that there is a situation here, which is much slower than running from under the city.

Fei Yue had only gathered thirty or forty people, and seventy or eighty rebel troops outside the city had already rushed in.

The rebel army outnumbered them at the gate of the city, and the Fei Yue was defeated and retreated.

Fei Yue saw that the situation was not good, and he had already heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and he didn't know how many cavalry there were, so he turned around and ran to the south of the city.

The camp is in the south of the city, less than two miles away.

But the rebel army came faster than them, and after the cavalry came in, there were no officers and soldiers at the north gate, and they were either killed or fled.

Zhong Dequan and the others immediately set fire to the houses near the city gate first.

While setting the fire, he shouted: "King Han has come in, everyone has come down." ”

The time when the mahout guard was broken was about the same as that of Pu'anwei, and the difference was only one or two days.

Pu Anwei was caught off guard, and was blocked in the city by Sheng Yong's tens of thousands of troops, and the whole army was annihilated.

The mahout guards resisted in the city for a while, but at this time it was already dark, and they knew that the enemy army had come in, and the key was that many people did not know who the enemy army was, and it was very chaotic, and in less than half an hour, the commander led more than 2,000 people to escape from the south gate with the remnants of the army.

Some of them escaped to the east and went east by boat, and some went north by land.

The commander wanted to take a boat to the west and run to Tan Qing's side, but found that a boat was blocked in the Nanxiang Si River, so he could only turn around and run east.

After Wang Zhong occupied the elephant guard, while reorganizing the soldiers and horses, he sent a message to the county capitals of Guangxi, and at the same time, from the vicinity of Guangdong, and then mobilized the soldiers and horses to come in.

In this battle, Li Yuan mobilized nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division, which was also the largest number of troops he could mobilize.

In addition, some of the guards in the non-coastal areas of Guangdong will follow Li Yuan directly after they get the text, and there will not be many who want to resist, because Li Yuan has been in Guangdong for more than three years, and the henchmen who can be replaced are basically replaced.

Nanning Mansion is west of Hengzhou, a distance of about 100 miles.

Tan Qing didn't know that Hengzhou had been broken, and blocked the water post road for him to flee east.

Of course, if he doesn't take the waterway, there are still many ways to escape north.

In the afternoon of the same day, when Wang Zhong led his troops across the river, a wave of natives appeared around Nanningwei.

Zhu Gaoxu discussed with the generals of all walks of life in advance when he fought the battle, and he must be on time when he will appear in a few days and in what place, so everyone will calculate the time and start work at the same time, just to seize the speed and catch the enemy off guard.

Wang Zhong did not encounter difficulties on his side, and the progress was very smooth, and Zhu Gaoxu had already led people through Guangnan Mansion in Yunnan Province and entered the border of Guangxi at this time.

This is the territory of Tusi, and the imperial court hardly cares about it.

This is also the main channel for Yang Lishan to transport goods, when Ping An followed Yang Lishan from here into Yunnan, in recent years, the local toast specially took Zhu Gaoxu's salt, sugar, tea and other things to help him transport goods.

At first, it was just to transport goods, but later Zhu Gaoxu asked them to help pave the road, pave the road wide, and make it flat.

Yang Lishan said that this way you can walk the carriage and transport more goods, and we can give you more salt and sugar, and several nearby Tusi Cen, Huang, and Feng who have been cooperating with them readily agreed.

So in the past two years, every time the toasts helped to transport the goods to Quang Nam Province, they turned around and started to build roads, and then Zhu Gaoxu gave them wages and salt and sugar according to the length of the roads, and was very generous.

Tan Qing, who had been in Nanning Wei at this time, would definitely not have imagined that the originally rugged and difficult mountain road had been forced out of a convenient road by the toasts in the past two years or so.

Of course, it's going to be extremely difficult to build and there are a lot of mountain trails, so it's not much better overall, but at least the two horses can now ride side by side, and it's not as good as it used to be.

In the morning of the same day, Zhu Gaoxu's forward was near Xinningzhou.

Xinning Prefecture is in the south of Nanning Wei, and it is also the territory of Tusi, where the imperial court has zero control, and there is no even a guard, only three post wars and inspection divisions, and they are all locals.

Zhu Gaoxu's large group of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared, and the local Tusi Huang was startled.

The forward general Zhou Hu led people to send five thousand taels of silver, three carts of salt, three carts of sugar, and a cart of tea to the Huang family: "The king of Han took advantage of the road to fight Nanning Wei, you don't know, just watch?" ”

The Huang family has also taken Yang Lishan well in recent years, and has also done business with Yang Lishan, using their salt and sugar, naturally there is nothing to say.

He silently accepted the things and ordered the state gate to be opened.

The leader of the Huang clan is called Huang Zongmin, and this year is in the prime of life, and the world town is Xinningzhou.

However, Guangxi and Yunnan are a little different, and the local hereditary Tusi in Yunnan will be named Tutongzhi by the imperial court.

There is no Tusi in Guangxi who has been named Tutongzhi, at least at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, no one has served in this meeting.

Xinning Prefecture is said to be a state, but in fact, it was rebuilt from a dirt village in the past, which was relatively simple, like a mound fort, so the Huang family was in the local area, and it was also like a soil village owner.

At this time, Huang Zongmin was standing on a high place and looking at the large group of soldiers and horses in the middle of the main city.

"Boom - " The most advanced city is four columns of native soldiers, the native soldiers are lined up very neatly, all wearing armor, although the armor looks like a simple leather armor, but because the overall armor is similar, the style is similar, so it looks more spectacular.

They marched in four columns, orderly and silently through the city, and with the sound of clattering movements, they gave people a heavy sense of oppression.

Just looking at the military array, Huang Zongmin felt that the Tusi near them were all strong together.

This Tusi army is a combination of the Na clan of Yuanjiang Prefecture and the Nong clan of Guangnan Prefecture, and they all participated in the Battle of Annam with Zhu Gaoxu for more than a year, so they are now well-disciplined and well-trained, but they are much worse than the Si clan native soldiers that Sheng Yong trained in Yunzhou for three years.

There were nearly 10,000 forwards in this wave, and it took a while to pass through Xinningzhou.

Then there were a large number of horses and mules, and a small number of carriages, all of which were laulking baggage and supplies, and then there were local girls in the crowd, and the toasts even adult women came to help, as civil husbands, sometimes more able to work than ordinary Ming men.

This group of horses and mules and carriages walked for a long time, and Huang Zongmin looked at it for a while, and felt that at least a few thousand horses and mules had passed.

Finally, when this group of horses and mules went away, the main force of the Ming army finally appeared.

The large Ming army formed two columns and slowly entered Xinningzhou.

The Ming soldiers are wearing bright armor, many of which look brighter, and they seem to be newly made.

They all led their horses and walked slowly, most of them with one horse, and a few with two horses at the same time.

There would also be a small amount of supplies on the horses, and everyone remained silent, leading the horses in two columns, closely following the native soldiers.

Huang Zongmin already knew that they had come from Yunnan over the mountains and mountains, so he must have led the horse all the way to save horsepower.

When the horse walks on mountain roads, it is best not to ride, it is easy to hurt the horse.

These Ming troops led horses all the way from Yunnan to Guangxi.

The western part of Guangxi is mountainous, and this cavalry will definitely not be able to play its role until the east, and it is best to enter Huguang and approach the Central Plains before the power of the cavalry can be brought into play.

There were 20,000 cavalry in this wave, and they walked for a long time.

Huang Zongmin stood from morning to noon, and then to afternoon, and sat in the middle for a while, and finally stood with his eyes dizzy, only feeling that Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses seemed to be infinitely close.

It's really that the rebel army is walking, and they have to save their physical strength, so they walk relatively slowly, so he looks as if there are a lot of soldiers and horses, and the 20,000 cavalry, plus more than 20,000 horses, are just out of the battle of 40,000 cavalry.

In the afternoon, Huang Zongmin seemed to have finally reacted and asked his henchmen around him: "Which part of the Tusi soldiers and horses that walked by in the morning?" ”

The henchman said: "It seems that it is the Yuanjiang Na clan, the Guangnan Fu Nong clan, and some other small tribes, all of which are from the southeast of Yunnan." ”

The southeast of Yunnan is closer to the Han people, so the relationship with the Ming people has always been better.

"These people actually followed the Han King?" Huang Zongmin said in a deep voice: "Aren't you afraid that the King of Han will be liquidated if he loses in the future?" ”

The man thought for a moment and said slowly: "I heard that the King of Han has won every battle in the Jing Martyrdom and has never been defeated, and in the past few years, he has taken the Nong clan, the Na clan and other clans to do business, and everyone has made a lot of money. ”

"Even if they don't raise an army with the King of Han, if the King of Han loses, the court is estimated to be liquidated."

Then he said: "It seems that the toasts fought with the king of Han, and for each one who died in battle, there were twenty or thirty taels of silver. ”

Huang Zongmin's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he hesitated: "Then the boss surnamed Yang is not the person from the King of Han?" ”

Yang Lishan from Guangdong to Guangxi, through Guangxi into Yunnan, along the road and all the way to do business with the toast, Xinningzhou of course also joined, but recently, Yang Lishan suddenly declared that he was a subordinate of the King of Han, and wanted to strengthen cooperation with everyone in the future.

It's okay not to say this, but Huang Zongmin immediately panicked.

Xinning Prefecture also has Yang Lishan cooperated, will the imperial court liquidate in the future?

The subordinate confidant said: "The leader let the rebel army pass without resistance today, even if he doesn't do business with Boss Yang, I'm afraid the court will have to be liquidated in the future." ”

As soon as this person's voice fell, someone on the side shouted: "The Tusi of all the ethnic groups who followed the King of Han have made a fortune, there is no shortage of salt, sugar and tea, and there are a large number of people who marry the Han people, send troops to die in battle, and compensation, Daddy, let's do it too." It was his son Huang Meng.

Huang Zongmin's face changed for a few rounds, and then he looked at the mighty soldiers and horses of the Han King below, who seemed to be unable to walk.

"I heard that the Han King sent troops at the same time in Guangdong, Fujian, Guizhou, and Sichuan, with 500,000 troops, and the chance of success is very high." Agitation continued on the sidelines.

"King Han said that if it succeeds, those who support the Tusi will be upgraded to a military and civilian government and have the power of complete autonomy."

Huang Zongmin thought to himself, now they are places that the Ming court can't control, and the Huang family also has autonomy in the local area, but there is no rank.

But these are not really important, the important thing is that he gave way today without resistance, and he has not reported the news, which is definitely not good.

Rather than being pursued by the imperial court in the future, it is better to support the Han king, the stronger the Han king, the greater the success.

"Let's go." Huang Zongmin stomped his feet for the last time: "Meet the King of Han." ”
