Annam Barracks.

The envoy Jiang Jie successfully completed the task, and was quickly promoted by Prime Minister Hu Jichen to the Hubu Langzhong of the Zhengwupin, and he was a little complacent.

After thinking of Fu Youde's words, he decided to inform Hu Jichen about it.

"Lord Xiangguo, after the villain saw the Ming general, he said some inexplicable things to the villain."

"Oh? I wonder what he said? ”

Hu Jichen, who was originally laughing, suddenly heard this, and his smile suddenly froze on his face, and he asked unhappily.

Jiang Jie replied very quickly:

"The general asked the villain, is there a rebellion in our country?"

"What? How would he know that we have rebels in our country? ”

Hu Jichen and Chen Zheping were shocked, they didn't expect that the Ming army would even know about this kind of thing.

"My lord, not only that, they even know the specific number of people involved in our domestic rebellion."

Jiang Jie's next sentence made Hu Jichen and Chen Zheping even more like they were struck by lightning, and their pupils shook violently.

"Does this Ming army have spies in our country?"

After a long time, Chen Zheping seemed to have thought of something and slowly asked.

Hu Jichen didn't think about it, so he insisted, "That's for sure, otherwise how could the Ming army be so aware of our domestic movements." ”

"Okay, I'll just say that the last sneak attack was so secretive, and it was actually ambushed by the Ming army, it turned out that we had an inner ghost."

"Don't let Benxiang know who that person is, or Benxiang will have to break him into pieces."

Hu Jichen's tone was cold, and his snake-like gaze slowly scanned the audience, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey, which made people feel creepy.

Jiang Jie already regretted his mouthfulness just now, and was about to say goodbye, but was stared at by Hu Jichen, "Jiang Langzhong, you didn't talk nonsense, right?" ”

"My lord Mingjian, I am loyal to Annan, the sun and the moon are clear, and I will never dare to have two hearts!"

Jiang Jie hurriedly clarified, for fear that he would be pulled out by Hu Jichen and chopped up a moment and a half late.

Hu Jichen did not let Jiang Jie go, but continued to ask:

"What did the general of the Ming army say besides saying that there was a rebellion in our country?"

He also asked the villain if he needed their help from Daming, but the villain politely refused.

Jiang Jie told Hu Jichen about what he experienced in the Ming army's tent.

In the end, Hu Jichen's face softened slightly, and he said coldly:

"I don't need Daming to intervene in the domestic affairs of Annan, just 200,000 rabble, it's not worth mentioning at all."

"The affairs of the Ming army have come to an end for the time being, and we only need to send the Ming army away safely, and we don't need to ask about other things."

Hu Jichen made a final conclusion on this matter, and everyone else obediently closed their mouths, until the meeting was about to end, Hu Jichen said to Chen Zheping again:

"Your Majesty, the public resentment in Annan has been boiling recently, please ask the king to issue an edict to appease the people."

This is the highlight of today, Hu Jichen wants to firmly put the basin of looting the people on Chen Zheping's head, so as to lay the most solid foundation for him to go further in the future.

"Hu Aiqing, although this matter is the will of the widow, but it is also for the sake of Annan, is it biased to let only the widow make an edict for himself?"

Chen Zheping naturally didn't want to take the blame, after all, the idea of looting the people was made by Hu Jichen, and it had nothing to do with him.

However, Chen Zheping's words had just fallen, and the originally quiet minister of civil and military affairs knelt directly in front of Chen Zheping and said loudly:

"Please ask the king to make an edict against himself and appease the people of the world."

A wave of grief and indignation surged into his heart, and none of the Manchu civil and military were loyal ministers, which made Chen Zheping only feel both angry and extremely sad.

"The widow... Widows... The widow has made an edict against himself. ”

Humiliation, unwillingness, anger, all kinds of emotions came to my heart, but in the end it only turned into a compromise.

Hu Jichen was full of pride, and personally drafted an edict for Chen Zheping, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced in one go.

Subsequently, Hu Jichen did not hesitate at all, covered Wang Xi by himself, and released it to the world.

...

Hanoi Province.

In order to pacify the rebels in the south as soon as possible, Zhao Ran, the minister of war, traveled day and night, only resting for two hours a day, and spent the rest of the time on the road.

Haiphong Port is only 400 miles away from Hanoi, and in order to rush to Hanoi before the rebels arrive, Zhao Ran can only rush so desperately to get to Hanoi in advance.

Fortunately, the road was all plains, and the march was extremely smooth, and after two days and two nights of hurrying, Zhao Ran finally blocked the road of the Annan rebels to the north on Longxing Road.

Longxing Road is located one hundred and fifty miles southeast of Hanoi, but it is only a day and a half away, if Zhao Ran did not arrive in time, I am afraid that the rebels have swept the entire Hanoi Province at this moment.

After Zhao Ran arrived, he sent people around to check the military situation, and I have to say that as the Minister of War of Annan, Zhao Ran still has two brushes.

Zhao Ran, who intercepted the rebels, did not rush to send troops, but first set up a camp in a dangerous place to ensure that he was invincible first.

Then the sentinels came out, vowing to find out the situation of these rebels before attacking.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win all battles.

Soon, news of the Sentinel's investigation came back.

The rebels were indeed outnumbered and ragged, and had no appearance of an army at all.

But at the head of the rebels, it seems that it is not simple, the camp built by the rebels stretches for miles, looks disorganized, but they are connected and interdependent.

Zhao Ran didn't take this discovery to heart, after all, the leader of the rebel army could pull up such a large team, and he went all the way north from Haicheng Port, attacking the government and breaking the county, and he must have some ability.

But this is the end of it, now that he meets him Zhao Ran, he must break this person's body into thousands of pieces, so that it can play a deterrent role, so that the people of Annan can understand that untouchables are untouchables, and those who dare to rebel must be killed.

After observing for two days, Zhao Ran did not find any special circumstances, and immediately decided that tomorrow 100,000 troops would go out to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army.

On the second day, Zhao Ran led an army of 100,000 in high spirits to meet the rebels in the Hanoi Plain, intending to defeat the 200,000 rebels in one battle.

The rebel generals were not afraid at all, and pulled out all the 200,000 rebels and lined up three miles away from Zhao Ran.

The autumn wind is bleak, the two sides are tense, and the war is about to break out.

Before the war, Zhao Ran also specially sent people to persuade him to surrender, but he was directly rejected by the leader of the rebels, and was almost shot on the spot.

Zhao Ran's seven orifices smoked, and he decisively ordered the whole army to assault, and he wanted to crush all these mud legs.

The arrays of the two sides slowly approached, and the Annan army was neatly arrayed, all wearing black military uniforms, looking extraordinary.

On the rebel side, not only is the front crooked, but most of them even have no clothes to cover their bodies, not at all like an army, but a group of beggars.

Zhao Ran pointed to the chaotic rebel array and laughed, in his opinion, the moment when the two sides fought, it was the time when these mud-legged people died and had no place to be buried.

But just when the two sides were less than a hundred paces away, the front line of the rebels suddenly collapsed, exposing the ranks in the rear.

At first, Zhao Ran saw the collapse of the rebel army, and his face was still full of sarcasm, he felt that this was because the rebels could not bear the pressure of their own army, which directly led to the escape of the front army.

Just when he felt that there was no suspense in this battle, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Although the front army of these rebels collapsed, they began to retreat from both sides of the array, and the subsequent rebels were not affected at all, and after careful observation, Zhao Ran couldn't help but gasp.

The rebels in the rear are like two rebels in the front.

If the rebels in the front are a group of beggars, then these rebels in the back are the real elite.

These people walked in unison, their faces were firm, and although they were dressed in tatters, they did not affect their momentum in the slightest.

Seeing this appearance of the rebels, Zhao Ran suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, where did this elite come from?

But now that the arrow is on the bow, it has to be sent, and the distance between the two armies is once again pulled, and when it is about to enter the distance of the eighty steps of the archer's attack, the sound of bursting beans suddenly sounded on the battlefield.

"Bang bang bang!"

Zhao Ran listened to this familiar voice, and for a while he didn't know where he had heard it, but he felt extremely frightened in his heart.

His instincts told him that something was wrong, run! Run backwards now!

However, Zhao Ran quickly calmed down, and his reason suppressed fear, but this reason did not last long, because he saw a familiar scene, and this scene had just happened not long ago.

The sound of popping beans came and went, and with the sound of popping beans, the battlefield began to fill with gunsmoke, and the archers of the Annan army on the opposite side of the rebels were full of blood in their chests, their eyes widened in disbelief, and they slowly fell.

"Ming Army!! It's the Ming Army!! Run!! ”

I don't know who roared such a voice on the battlefield, and then the most spectacular scene in the history of Annan was also staged at this moment.

I saw that the 100,000-strong army of Annam, which had originally formed a strict formation, began to retreat in less than half an hour after the battle, and everyone fled backwards like crazy.

At this time, what they thought of was that on that tragic night last month, the fear of being dominated by the Ming army had become everyone's nightmare.

Zhao Ran was stunned as he looked at the changes in front of him, but his guards directly pulled Zhao Ran and began to flee backwards.

After he reacted, he was furious, and turned around to stop the retreat of the army, but the defeat was like a mountain, and in front of nearly 100,000 deserters, Zhao Ran's strength alone was negligible.

Even if Zhao Ran shouted loudly, no one was willing to stop, at this time, everyone knew that they had been completely defeated, and if they couldn't run away from the robes around them, they would be captured.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Zhao Ran directly drew his sword and slashed two soldiers, intending to shock the morale of the army.

But his behavior caused him big trouble.
