The reserve army entered the city, and the rest of the things were much easier to do, the city defense battle was like this, the city was morale, and the morale collapsed when the city collapsed, and Luoyang Rao was a famous government in Henan could not get rid of such a fate.

Seeing that the city was on fire, the movement was also loud, Ren Jirong and Tian Hu no longer waited and watched, the two immediately made a decision, gathered their soldiers on the spot, Ren Jirong led the troops to attack the prison, and released the prisoners and the imprisoned Xie Yinglong.

Xie Yinglong was tortured by Wang Yinchang and was dying, almost speechless, but as long as his life was not lost, he was absolutely appealing, which was also one of the strange phenomena in the late Ming Dynasty.

Since Taizu set up the guard, within a few years the guards began to collapse, Zhu Yuanzhang's ideal people have their own share, obviously can not meet people's desire to pursue status and wealth, the wealthy family invaded the military land, the military households have gone bankrupt, or reduced to tenants, or simply gathered in the mountains and forests, and the natural combat effectiveness has collapsed.

In the Jiaqing period, there were even more than 50 spectacles of the Japanese in the south and Zhili, with Qi Jiguang as the first, the Ming court began to adopt a recruitment system.

At first, the imperial court was quite strict in its management of the conscription system, and basically followed the same set of imperial court to recruit soldiers with money, and then elected generals, but with the financial collapse of the imperial court and the defeat in Liaodong, to the Chongzhen Dynasty, the military system was irretrievably collapsed.

The current conscription system is simple and rude to recruit troops by yourself, from the imperial court to the generals to select the generals, the direct consequence is that the imperial court loses the command of the army, and the army begins to become actually warlordized, the only difference is that they have no territory, and they also need the court to pay.

These military leaders, large and small, have absolute authority in their own army, and if they say they are opposed, they will rebel, and if they say they are rebelling, they will rebel, which is why Zuo Liangyu has repeatedly escaped, but he has never been held accountable, but the officials are getting bigger and bigger, such people also include Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Zuo Guangxian and his son, and so on.....

Xie Yinglong is also the small army leader among the many military leaders, Ren Jirong carried him to his soldiers and horses station, and saw the face of Xie Jiang, these soldiers shaved the head of the airborne general without saying a word, and followed Xie Yinglong and Ren Jirong to respond to the invasion of the army.

Tian Hu is very chicken thief led his troops to directly surround the Yamen, this is the second most oil and water place, the first is Fuwangfu, but unfortunately Li Yan will not let him go to this kind of place, and let Hao Yongzhong lead his troops to control Fuwangfu as early as possible.

The yamen was also a mess, no one thought that there was a mutiny, Lu Weiyu was stunned by the inquiry, Wang Shaoyu was not in the yamen for a while, he also had no master, and when Tian Hu's department crashed open the county yamen with a rushing car, he took off his belt like waking up from a dream and prepared to hang Liang Zhongjun, but unfortunately it was too late.

Tian Hu ordered someone to pounce on Lu Weichu, then stepped on his face, and scolded arrogantly: "Lu Shangshu was so majestic the day before yesterday, can you expect today's fate?" ”

Lu Weichu has always prided himself as a scholar and looked down on martial artists, but now he is humiliated like this, and he can only scold: "Piff! The court treats you well......"

It's a pity that Tian Hu didn't let him scold, waved his hand, and the two soldiers came up and blocked Lu Weichu with rags, and then they were tied up with five flowers, hanging on the flat pole and carrying it to the reserve army.

Wang Shaoyu's side was even more miserable, he hadn't woken up when the rebels rushed in, and he was still holding two Wenyu beauties in his arms, no armor, let alone blades, and when the rebels rushed in, Wang Shaoyu was still drunk and scolded: "Er slave, why are you here?" ”

Then, the consequences can be imagined, several chaotic soldiers simply waved their knives and stepped forward to kill Wang Shaoyu on the spot, and then they took Wang Shaoyu's position and two screaming beauties, and turned upside down.......

By dawn, Luoyang had been completely controlled by Li Yan, Wang Yinchang and Lu Weiqi were captured, and Zhu Changxun, the blessed king, was clever, and took his son Zhu Yousong to Feng'en Temple to hide, but unfortunately, Li Yan was a traverser who opened God's perspective, and directly let Hao Yongzhong lead his troops to surround Feng'en Temple.

Zhu Changxun knew that he could not escape, so he could only entrust Zhu Yousong to the accompanying eunuch with tears, and then choked up: "The prince entrusted Yu Er to wait, and it is inevitable that he will ...... today."

He was indeed inevitable, Hao Yongzhong did not throw off the obstruction of the temple at all, led the troops straight in, and after killing a few stubborn guards, he directly caught the fat pig-like Fu Wang, in fact, Zhu Yousong could not run away in theory.

As a result, Hao Yongzhong looked at Zhu Yousong, and actually said: "I am only ordered to arrest the king, you can leave quickly!" ”

Under the gaze of King Fu, his son Zhu Yousong was also shocked and ran away by the eunuchs, not that Hao Yongzhong had a good heart, but it was really Li Yanjun's order that was difficult to disobey, Li Yan specially ordered that he was not allowed to arrest King Fu's son, only Zhu Changxun.

The reason, naturally, is to thank Zhu Yousong for his later mediocrity, Li Yan weighed it and felt that it seemed that it would be cost-effective to let a mediocre Fuwang prince go to the south, Hongguang's level he had, in case Zhu Yousong died here, it would be difficult for Nanming to push a Ming master up, so Li Yan privately ordered Zhu Yousong to be released to make a layout for the future.

King Fu was arrested, Luoyang's resistance was also cleared, Liu Jianyi was beheaded by Wang Xueli, the head was tied to the horse's butt by Wang Xueli to swagger through the city, Luo Tai wanted to escape, was blocked by Li Laiheng and others, the two sides fought fiercely, Luo Tai was beheaded by Li Laiheng, and all the troops surrendered.

Luoyang City was officially announced to have fallen on the 19th day of the first month of the 14th year of Chongzhen......

The first to get the news was Li Zicheng in Xin'an, Wang Jinbao ran for two days in a row with the news of the fall of Luoyang and rushed to the main station of the Xin'an army.

In fact, in official history, Li Zicheng's army kicked off the Battle of Luoyang on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, but unfortunately this process was interrupted because of Li Yan's appearance, but Li Yan's appearance made Luoyang fall a month ahead of schedule, and I have to say that this is the first time that Li Yan has directly changed history.

After learning that Li Yan conquered Luoyang with 3,000 people, the people who broke into the army were stunned!

Li Zicheng's first reaction was not surprise, but whether it was Li Yan who lied about the military situation, and Wang Jinbao answered like a stream under interrogation, Li Zicheng was suspicious of the letter, and 3,000 people defeated Luoyang, which is really unbelievable!

The military discussion was lively and miserable, Liu Zongmin and Li Shuangxi insisted on not believing it, but Tian Jianxiu believed it, thinking that Li Yan would not lie about the military situation, for the sake of safety, Li Zicheng Pegasus went out to investigate, and it didn't take much effort to catch a few Ming troops who escaped from Luoyang, and after some inquiry, it was determined that Luoyang was indeed captured by Li Yan!

In this way, the camp is boiling, what kind of genius is Li Yan? Unexpectedly, he first broke Wang Shaoyu with 3,000, and then with the remnants of the army Luoyang? It's unbelievable.

Li Jin immediately praised Li Yan and said: "Yan, when Han Xin is in the world, with his army, he can sweep the world!" Please reuse it! ”

Gu Junen immediately jumped out and exclaimed: "Since ancient times, there have been ten times more sieges of the city, and the battle of Luoyang is really unheard of, and it is extremely exquisite. ”

Of course, Liu Zongmin was still not convinced, and said angrily: "It is not enough to praise the city by fraud." ”

The capture of Luoyang by the Chuang army is of great significance to the entire Chuang army, the siege of the city will kill a lot of people, and it may not be able to fight down, now that Li Yan is actually broken, ordinary soldiers don't have so much consideration, they only know that they don't have to use their lives to fill the city, and they can get quite abundant supplies, which is naturally a thousand thanks to Li Yan.

Suddenly, Li Yan's prestige in the camp rose sharply, and along with the prestige of the reserve army, the former bamboo cutting army is now the "elite of breaking the city", anyway, they have finished speaking.

For Li Zicheng, he is not necessarily so excited.

Li Zicheng is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and defeating a city is not enough to make him excited like that, not to mention that Li Yan's siege of the city is actually making full use of psychological warfare and intelligence warfare, which cannot be called a military miracle in the true sense.

He thinks more from the perspective of the lord.

First, Li Yan broke Luoyang three thousand, no matter what method he used, but his prestige will inevitably rise, and the direct consequence is that his merits are high, Li Zicheng can't be wary of this, and anyone in a higher position will be wary.

Second, what to do next, the capture of Luoyang means that the first step of the strategy of breaking into the army has been completed ahead of schedule, and they have not even planned for the next strategy, and now they have to make the next step of planning immediately.

Third, Li Yan seized Luoyang, and his power will inevitably rise, how to balance it? Not only to not anger Li Yan, but also to be able to suppress him, this is another science.

When Li Zicheng was playing Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, Niu Jinxing was not idle.

When he heard that Li Yan broke Luoyang, he believed it, who is Li Yan? How can it be untargeted? Although he still can't believe that Li Yanzhen knocked Luoyang down, the reality is so cruel.

Li Yan defeated Luoyang, he Niu Venus will be in big trouble, Li Yan is not a saint, he will not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dog, three thousand defeated Fucheng, the credit is too great, if Li Yan has an idea now, he and Gu Junen will have to be out immediately, which is why Gu Junen immediately changed the direction of the wind.

Military merit has always been the biggest bargaining chip in the power struggle, at least in the entrepreneurial stage.

On the one hand, he worked hard to coordinate the cooperation between Li Zicheng and the White Lotus Sect, and connected the two sides, which basically binded the two together.

On the other hand, he also clearly formulated a program for the future struggle of the army, that is, the "Fengtian Advocate Righteousness and Fight against the Tyranny", in which Niu Jinxing clearly put forward the policy program of three years of exemption from taxation and exemption from taxation in Juntian, and at the same time, he also proposed that the army should "rob the rich" to raise the army and support the people with "lenient government".

Unlike Li Yan who united the landlords and bureaucrats and formed the greatest common divisor to overthrow the Ming court, Niu Jinxing clearly pointed out that the landlords and bureaucrats could not be united, and they should be resolutely uprooted, and the main eradication of the land and the main disintegration of small and medium-sized lands should be cracked down on the Ming Dynasty bureaucracy, and the broken landlords and unambitious scholars should be co-opted as the backbone of the future administration.

Niu Jinxing's essay further clarified the direction and means of future struggle, and was also recognized by Li Zicheng, of course, what satisfied Li Zicheng the most was Niu Jinxing's annexation policy of "division and absorption".

In response to the other joint peasant armies, Niu Jinxing adopted a divisive approach to make them fight each other, so as to achieve the goal of unification under Li Zicheng's order.

For example, Yidougu and crockpots, Niu Jinxing cunningly handed over the distribution of grain to the crockpots in the name of logistics integration, and the grain distribution rights of the Henan peasant army were in the hands of the crockpots, and the prestige of the crockpots would naturally rise, while the Yidougu would decline, and Yidougu was very dissatisfied with this.

At this time, Niu Jinxing also sent someone to instigate the clay pot to send treasures to Li Zicheng to express his "gratitude".

The crockpot did so, and then Niu Jinxing secretly spread the rumor that "the crockpot was thick and broke into the king, so that the matter of military rations could be decided".

After Yidougu was fooled, on the one hand, he resented the clay pot and dug his corner, and on the other hand, he hurriedly sent someone to give gifts to Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng also pushed the boat down the river to restore the right to distribute grain again.

This back and forth, Yidougu and the crockpot formed a hatred, both sides thought that the other party was digging their corners, no longer the previous harmony, evenly matched, both began to flatter Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng also took advantage of the actual control of the Henan peasant army.

Niu Jinxing's methods can be described as vicious, but it is a pity that Li Yan has the role of Li Yan.....
