Although the city gate was broken, Xu Zhi'an did not rush to order to enter the city.

He's not in a hurry.

Because he knew that someone must be in a hurry than him.

This person is Zheng Jiu.

He ran around the city with his own soldiers, trying to stop the fleeing soldiers.

It can't be said that there is no effect, but with great effort, only more than a thousand people were gathered, and most of them were soldiers who had fled with him from the port.

"General! We can't stop them!" A pro-soldier grabbed Zheng Jiu, who was almost crazy.

"Nonsense! Why can't you stop it!? Isn't there a few thousand men left?" Zheng Jiu's eyes widened and he reprimanded.

"Mo, General Mo is already out of the city!"

"What?!" Zheng Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then became furious! "I know that this *** traitor can't be trusted! The generalissimo trusted him so much, he didn't expect to do such an ugly thing as escaping! When I see the generalissimo in the coming day, I will definitely take a copy of him!"

Mo Bi was a general first, to be precise, Zheng Jie's general who rebelled during the Mo Dynasty. In order to show his generosity, Zheng Jie not only did not suspect him, but entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. Unexpectedly, he fled as soon as the city was broken, and if Zheng Jie knew, it was estimated that he would be punished as soon as possible.

"Traitor! Brute!"

Zheng Jiu scolded and looked at the open city gate.

Although the Ming army outside the city has not yet attacked, the possibility of resistance is indeed gone.

Even if it can block the attack of the Ming army, can it withstand the artillery of the Ming people?

Can it withstand the kind of firearm that just blew up the city gates?

Zheng Jiu's head spun in circles quickly, thinking about various possibilities, and finally stomped his feet helplessly.

"Withdraw!"

After speaking, he turned around and ran in the direction of the north gate with the people.

Seeing that things can be done is bravery.

It is foolish to force things to do what they can't do.

Zheng Jiu prides himself on not being a fool, so he made this difficult decision.

Outside the city, Xu Zhi'an ordered people to investigate many times and sent 3,000 soldiers into the city.

At this time, the soldiers in the city had almost run away, and only some of the people who had not had time to escape were trembling to avoid this Ming army.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp were highly disciplined, and they naturally did not harm ordinary people without orders.

They searched the city walls and the places where the soldiers were stationed before leaving the city, and before leaving, Xu Zhi'an also ordered the soldiers to post notices everywhere, and after doing all this, they left Haiyang.

As for the content of the proclamation, it is nothing more than to justify the invasion of the Ming army.

It is said that the reason why the Ming Dynasty came to Jiaozhi thousands of miles away was entirely to overthrow the rule of the Zheng dynasty. and counted the major crimes of the Zheng family.

The biggest one is to overthrow the Mo Dynasty recognized by the Ming Dynasty, confront the Ruan family, and wantonly attack, resulting in the misery of life and the misery of the people.

Daming came here to eliminate these scourges that caused the chaos in Jiaozhi, and to return a clear sky to Jiaozhi.

At the end of the proclamation, the people of Jiaozhi were informed, so that they did not need to panic when they encountered the Ming army. The Ming army was highly disciplined, and it was sure that there was no offense against ordinary people.

These were naturally arranged by Zhu Youzhen before he came, as for whether others believe it or not, I don't know.

Anyway, the archway has been erected, and the battle must be fought believe it or not.

Anyone can do what should be done and stand up.

As soon as the matter of Haiyang was over, Xu Zhi'an led his soldiers up the river and continued to advance towards his goal without delay.

Two days later, they left the confines of Haiyang Province and entered Jingbei Province. At this time, it was no more than 100 miles away from Thang Long.

Thang Long

Generalissimo's Palace.

Zheng Jie was listening to his subordinates' report on Sha Yuan.

"Generalissimo, that Shayuan is really not a good kind! Our soldiers were spotted before they could get close, and had already fled with their men. And many villages were slaughtered on the way, and many innocent people were tragically attacked! General Zheng Kai is leading the army in pursuit, but the battle is fearful

I'm afraid it won't be solved in a short time!"

Zheng Jie, who learned the news, was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, picked up the inkstone on the table and wanted to smash people, but remembering that the culprit of the matter, his own brother Zheng Kai, was not there, he held back his anger and let it go.

"Where did they flee?"

"Heading to the northwest, it seems that I plan to flee in the direction of Xinghua or Xuanguang, and return to Daming from these two places."

"Back to Daming?" Zheng Jie fell into deep thought.

"I don't think so! Since these guys have dragged their families here, it is impossible for them to interfere with our decision-making just to make a false shot, and it is very likely that they have other plans. Pass my orders to send another 10,000 reinforcements, 100 elephant soldiers, and be sure to destroy this rebel army as soon as possible. lest you have long nights and dreams!"

"Yes!"

The person who spoke was ordered to walk out, leaving Zheng Jie alone in a chair and silent.

What he fears most is that these people are not rebels. But on the surface of all kinds of signs, what he feared most still happened. If this Shayuan captures their city next, and the Ming army drives straight into them from Guangxi or Yunnan, echoing them, I am afraid that I, the lord of Zheng, will not be able to sit still. At present, we can only eliminate this rebel army in the territory as soon as possible, and then concentrate on the border of Chen Bing and negotiate with the Ming as much as possible.

If you can pay some price to let Daming retreat, it is the best, even if you pay a big price, you have to keep your position!

If you can't, then you have to do it hard with Da Ming.

Thinking of the energy he spent walking step by step, Zheng Jie was firm again!

The Ming Dynasty is not invincible.

What's more, this is Jiaozhi, not Daming.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jie's mood became firm again. He got up from his chair, intending to go outside to review the soldiers' summons.

"Report!"

Before he could reach the door, another soldier outside ran from outside the temple shouting.

"Let it in!"

Zheng Jie was stunned for a moment and ordered the guards to let people in.

"Report to the Generalissimo! The Ming army on the northern border has entered!"

"What!? Tell me more!" Zheng Jie's heart skipped a beat.

"The more than 10,000 Ming troops who had pursued Shayuan before failed to get an explanation, defeated the troops of General Zheng Kai who blocked them, and brazenly entered the country. Coming down the Tao River, we are coming to Shenglong!"

"Defeated Zheng Kai!? Didn't Zheng Kai have 30,000 soldiers? How did they defeat Zheng Kai's 30,000 with more than 10,000?" Zheng Jie's face was incredulous. After thinking about it, he asked again:

"Who are the generals of the Ming army?"

"It is said to be the Duke of Qianguo in Yunnan, the town of Damingshi!"

"Qianguo Gong..."

Zheng Jie fell completely silent.

He knew the Ming Dynasty very well, and he also understood the status of the Duke of Qianguo in Yunnan and even the entire Ming Dynasty.

Suppress the rebels and put down the rebellion.

Do you need the honorable Duke Qianguo to go out in person?

What does Daming want to do?

Do you want to turn this place into the Cochin Political Envoy Division, or the Annam Metropolitan Envoy Division?

"Report!"

Before Zheng Jie could figure it out, another voice came from outside the door.

Zheng Jie was frightened and looked out the door.

A dusty soldier was kneeling in the doorway.

"Put it in, put it in..."

Zheng Ji swallowed his saliva and said in a dry tone.
