Chapter 729, sweeping Dhaka
Banigi led several thousand loyal civilians out of the barracks and towards the east gate. Halfway through, it was intercepted by the militia loyal to the nobility. After some shouting and scolding, a fierce clash broke out, and the streets were full of people and flesh and blood, and the whole street seemed to be boiling.
After a while, the Benigi side gradually lost because the opponent was twice as large as the Benigi side. Seeing that the situation was not right, Banigi fled the battlefield first. When the officers saw this, they couldn't help but panic and ran away. As a result, the army broke down and fled in all directions, mercilessly slaughtered by their opponents, and the streets were filled with blood and screams.
An officer rushed to Akshay, made a chest salute, and said excitedly: "Master Aksei, finally Benigi's civilian army has been completely defeated by us, and now the whole city is under our control!" ”
Aksey was overjoyed and asked, "What about Benigi?" ”
"He and some of the remnants of the defeated army fled into a residential area, and our people are searching for them, I believe that it will not be long before he can be escorted to Lord Aksei and accept the punishment of Lord Aksei!" As if in response to his words, a loud noise, shouting, and screaming rang out from a slum in the distance. Aksey said to the officer: "Tell everyone that whoever can catch Benigi will be rewarded with five pounds of gold." The officer's eyes lit up, and he said yes and ran down.
When the militia who were searching for Banniji heard about Akshei's offer, they became excited and devoted themselves to the slums. Chickens and dogs are jumping in the slums, and the people who live here have fallen into blood mold. Benniji could no longer hide and tried to escape from the slums, but he came into contact with the militia who were searching for him, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. There were only about 20 people on the Banniji side, and where was the opponent of more than 100 people on the other side, after a scuffle, seven or eight people died, and the rest were all taken prisoner.
Baniji was brought to Aksee, and the soldier who had captured Beniji with his own hands did not wait for the officer to speak, and shouted at Aksei first: "Master Aksei, I caught Banniji!" The officer was annoyed and glared at him fiercely. Akei glanced at the soldier, looked back at the bloodied and embarrassed Benigi, and mocked, "Isn't this our Governor-General?" How did it get like this? ”
Benniji was furious and exclaimed, "Aksey, what are you doing? ”
"I'm saving our city. I know that you want to surrender to the Han Chinese, I must not let this happen, I must not allow our land to be ruled by evil infidels! ”
Benigie said angrily: "Aksei, I didn't surrender, you are rebelling by doing this!" ”
Aksey snorted coldly and said, "When I don't know your mind? When you saw the Han people coming, your legs were weak, and although you haven't said anything in your mouth, you have already decided in your heart to surrender to the Han people! The only fate for the betrayer is death! ”
Benigi said with a pale face: "You, you can't kill me, I'm an official appointed by the empire, and if you kill me, it's a rebellion!" ”
Akxie said loudly: "I am a nobleman of the empire, and I have the right to judge officials who betray the empire!" I hereby declare that Benigi has committed a heinous crime of treason and is sentenced to death! Benigi was terrified. The surrounding militia shouted one after another, but it didn't mean anything special, it was just a simple excitement.
Aksey pointed at Benigi, who was already paralyzed with fright, and shouted, "Drag him down for me and behead him for public display!" Several militia soldiers immediately stepped forward and grabbed Benigi's arms and shoulders to drag him down.
Bang! A loud bang suddenly came from the east, like a loud crash. Everyone was stunned when they suddenly heard this sound, and Akei asked, "What's the matter?" What is this sound? As if in response to his words, a loud cry was heard from the east, thrilling, mixed with screams of astonishment and the sound of swords colliding. Everyone couldn't help but change their faces, and Akei said angrily: "Are there still rebels? As he spoke, he looked at the officer next to him, who said blankly: "No, the rebels have been wiped out!" ”
At this moment, an officer covered in blood stumbled over and cried out in infinite panic: "No, it's not good! Han people, Han people have entered the city! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed color, but Benigie and the others were happy.
Aksey hurriedly shouted: "Quick, quickly mobilize all the troops and horses to fight back!" Several officers answered and ran down. Aksey led the men and horses around him and ran in the direction from which the sound of fighting came. Turning the corner of the street, I saw that Yan Yun's army was rushing like a tide and was unstoppable, while his own soldiers and horses had completely collapsed, and wolves were rushing around!
Aksey was so frightened that he immediately didn't think about it, and quickly turned his horse's head and ran for his life. The hundreds of people around him scattered for their lives.
When the officers who went to organize the people's army saw the fierceness of the enemy army, they became frightened in their hearts, and they stopped organizing the people's army, and fled on their own. And those people's troops, seeing from a distance that the enemy army had already invaded the city, had already dispersed in a hurry, some fled from the city, and some hid in the people's houses.
The Ming army captured the city of Dhaka with little respectable resistance.
Huyan will appear in the crowd of soldiers and march into the streets. The streets were in shambles, with corpses scattered here and there. The scale of this Dhaka city is very large, although the refinement is not as good as the Central Plains City, but in terms of scale, it is not inferior to the general big cities in the Central Plains. The whole city is full of exotic atmosphere, as if the wind is full of exotic feelings. The most magnificent and luxurious building in the city is the Hindu temple in the middle of the city. If you just look at that temple, then you will definitely feel that the civilization level of this city is not inferior to that of the Central Plains. Nowadays, Buddhism has declined in the Tianzhu region, and the dominant religion in the Tianzhu region is Hinduism. In fact, Hinduism and Buddhism are not completely incompatible, in fact, there are many commonalities between the two, and it can be said that Buddhism is one of the roots of Hinduism.
It's far away, let's get down to business. Huyan Bixian and his party were marching down the street. Suddenly, a few people burst out of the front. All the soldiers immediately became vigilant and rushed forward to protect Yang Zhi. I saw that the Tianzhu people knelt down together, and the one headed by kowtowed while saying in stiff Chinese: "Meet the Great Ming General!" Several other Tianzhu people followed suit and bowed down.
Hu Yan Bixian glanced at those people and asked the Tianzhu man who was the leader: "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”
The Tianzhu said: "I am, here, here!" I want to take refuge in Daming! ”
Huyan Bixian asked, "Are you an official here?" The Tianzhu man nodded. Yang Zhidao: "Follow it." That day, Zhu Ren looked happy and answered. Huyan Bixian led the soldiers of the army to continue to move forward. The Tianzhu people stood up, and the Tianzhu people who were the leader turned their heads and said a few words to their companions, and the companions all showed joy. Several Tianzhu people hurriedly followed.
Huyan Bixian glanced at the Tianzhu man and asked, "What's your name?" What is the rank? ”
The Tianzhu man hurriedly bowed down and said, "I, my name is Benigie, yes, here, the highest lord here!" ”
Hu Yanbi showed a look of surprise and asked, "You are the supreme commander here. Benigi nodded.
Huyan Bixian shouted, "I want you to surrender, why don't you surrender?" Benniji's heart sank, and he hurriedly pointed his fingers and explained, but in this urgency, he couldn't express it in Chinese. Huyan Bixian couldn't understand what he was talking about at all, and said angrily: "Say it slowly!" ”
Benigie settled down and said, "We, no, we officials, want to surrender to Daming!" But the nobles of the city got in the way and instigated rebellion, and therefore ......"
Huyan Bixian asked, "Could it be that the nobles in the city refused to surrender and instigated the army to start a rebellion and broke out with you?" Benigie nodded and said, "That's it!" ”
Huyan Bixian secretly rejoiced: Now it's okay, we have an excuse!
As soon as he thought of this, he asked Benige, "Where are those nobles now?" "Some of them fled, but most of them stayed at home in the city. ”
"Good. Immediately lead the way in front and lead our army to raid their homes!" ”
Benigi couldn't help but get excited, and a sense of revenge rose in his heart. Immediately, worried emotions came to his heart, and he cautiously said to Hu Yanbi: "General, can you not hurt other people?" The people in the city actually want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty! ”
Huyan Bixian said: "Ordinary people, our army will not only not harm them, but will also protect them!" Then he smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, you have not exceeded the time limit, so our army will never destroy the city of Dhaka!" When Benigi heard this, the boulder in his heart couldn't help but settle.
The city of Dhaka was in an uproar, and the Ming army, led by Banniji and his subordinate officials, broke into the homes of various nobles, arrested people, and confiscated their property. But it's okay, the Ming army did not kill indiscriminately, all the nobles were driven out of the luxurious mansion, but their lives were saved, and the Ming army also left them with money to support their lives. The other people in the city saw that the Ming army was like a dragon and a tiger confiscating the wealth of the nobles, and everyone was afraid that those terrible Han people would also break into their homes.
The Ming army took Dhaka almost effortlessly, and then Shi Liancheng swept the entire eastern part of Tianzhu with his army, and his troops were invincible everywhere. The Tianzhu people did not dare to resist at all, and the main force of Tianzhu did not dare to come to the rescue, but only arranged defenses along the line of the Ganges. In less than half a month, the entire eastern region east of the Ganges River in Tianzhu was occupied by the Ming Dynasty.
In one fell swoop, Shi Liancheng seized the area east of the Ganges, and still had his heart, and gathered a large army on the east bank of the Ganges to prepare to force the crossing of the Ganges. However, at this time, the order to stop the attack came, and Yang Peng ordered Shi Liancheng to stop the attack, and at the same time ordered a part of the army to retreat to the Dali area. The Ming army is now in high spirits, and it is very likely to break through the Ganges defense line in one go, why did the Ming suddenly order to stop the attack?
Shi Liancheng also had the same question, and immediately handed over the command of the army to Huyan Bixian temporarily, and he hurried to Tingbu. At this time, Yang Peng had already left Luo Qi and came to Tingbu.
When Shi Liancheng saw Yang Peng, he didn't care about saluting, and asked a little angrily: "Big brother, why did you order me to stop attacking?" ”
Yang Peng stood up, walked in front of Shi Liancheng, and asked with a smile: "Liancheng, how long have you been fighting continuously, don't you feel hard?" ”
Shi Liancheng said: "I'm not hard! Randomly requested: "Big brother, if everyone in Zhu is terrified today, it is a good time to cross the Ganges River to attack Tianzhu in one go!" Please allow me to lead my army to break through the Ganges defense line at once! ”
Yang Peng walked to the map, looked at Tianzhu on the map, and asked, "What do you really think?" ”
Shi Liancheng said: "Tianzhu is cowardly in life, and it is impossible for us to be our opponent!" ”
Yang Peng pointed to the front line of the Ganges River and said, "According to reliable intelligence, the Tianzhu people have gathered more than a million troops on this line, and they are still mobilizing troops in the country!" Now that they are on the defensive, and with such a large force, the Ganges is easy to defend and difficult to attack! Forcibly attack, the certainty is not great! ”
Shi Liancheng said proudly: "I am willing to make a military order, and I will be able to break through the defense line of the Ganges River within half a month, otherwise I will be willing to be a military law!" ”
Yang Peng turned around, patted Shi Liancheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I'm very happy that Liancheng has such determination!" You've done a very good job as a commander! However, the purpose of war is to strengthen our Ming Dynasty, not war for war's sake! The reason why I ordered you to stop the offensive is because the enemy is gathering heavy troops along the Ganges River, and this battle is not very certain, and secondly, because this round of our army's offensive is expanding too fast, and we need time to digest the fruits of victory, otherwise you will spoil your stomach if you eat too much! ”
Shi Liancheng had never thought about these questions, and when he heard what Chen Xiao said at this moment, he couldn't help but think about it.
Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Now, is there any problem with Liancheng?" ”
Shi Liancheng hugged his fists and said: "What the eldest brother is worried about is that I didn't think it through!" ”
Yang Peng patted Shi Liancheng on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to blame yourself. This kind of overall matter is not something you should think about, but something that I, the emperor, should think about. As a military commander, your performance this time is perfect! Well done, brother! Shi Liancheng couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Yang Peng turned to look at the map and thought, "There is also the problem of Yue Li Dynasty." Now that Bagan Dali is empty, if the Vietnamese army comes to invade, the consequences are unpredictable. Shi Liancheng walked up to Yang Peng's side, looked at the map, frowned and nodded.
Yang Peng glanced at Shi Liancheng and said with a smile: "Your army has been fighting for so many days, and now it's time to take a good rest!" Shi Liancheng smiled, "That's what the eldest brother said. Originally, I didn't feel tired, but now when I hear my eldest brother say this, it seems that he weighs hundreds of pounds all over his body! ”
Yang Peng pointed to the Dhaka region, where the mood was included in the territory, and said: "This area is included in your war zone, and you are in charge of military affairs." Now that the war is over, you have to go back to rest and training. Shi Liancheng nodded.
Yang Peng returned to his chair and sat down, while Shi Liancheng stood in front of him. Yang Peng pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down." When did you learn that set of false etiquette? Shi Liancheng smiled and sat down on the chair next to Yang Peng.
Yang Peng joked: "I'm tired from running around outside all day long, I'm afraid Yulan will blame my big brother to death!" Shi Liancheng smiled: "So what? Yulan and I are grateful to our eldest brother! ”
Shi Liancheng smiled and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I really want to go back to the time when we were still in Tianjing New Town. Although you and I are not very rich, I feel that life is much more real and interesting! Shi Liancheng couldn't help but nod and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't want to be idle in this life!" When I'm old, I can disarm and return to the field, haha, accompany women and children all day long, and have a jar of good wine! What a day for the gods! ”
Yang Peng said angrily: "Who said I can't think about idleness?" ”
Shi Liancheng said with a smile: "If the eldest brother enjoys leisure, wouldn't he be a faint king!" ”
Yang Peng scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Liancheng, you are giving me a vaccination!" ”
Shi Liancheng was stunned, "Vaccination? ”
Yang Peng changed the topic: "Liancheng, I plan to return to Luo some tomorrow, you and I will have a drunk party tonight!" Shi Liancheng was very excited and exclaimed, "Okay! It's been a long time since I've had a good drink with my big brother! Today, you and my brother will be drunk! ”……
The Yue Li Dynasty gathered a large army, and waited for the war to develop in an unfavorable direction for the Ming Dynasty, so that they could invade in a big way. However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and the Tianzhu people marched magnificently, and finally ended in a fiasco! Not to mention the defeat of the army and the loss of Tengchong, it was actually counterattacked into the country by the Ming army, and now even the entire Dhaka area east of the Ganges River has been lost, which can really be said to be a miserable defeat!
Li Hongwu, the emperor of the Yue Li Dynasty, scolded the Tianzhu people for being wasted, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel panic in his heart. The power of the Ming Army was far beyond imagination, and he suddenly realized that his country was now surrounded by the Ming Army! What to do? Naturally, we can't get bad luck, and the plan to attack Bagan must be canceled immediately. But what about later? Li Hongwu felt that he could not compete with the behemoth Ming in any case with the strength of his own country, so he had to find allies. Li Hongwu's eyes began to look around Daming. ……
Yang Peng and his entourage returned to Luo. Fan Yong greeted him and reported: "Your Majesty, the minister has already talked to the envoy of Tianzhu. "It turned out that as early as when the Dhaka region was in danger, Tianzhu had already been busy sending peace envoys. Tianzhu has been frightened by the Ming Dynasty, and he can't afford to raise troops to fight back, and only hopes to pay some price in exchange for precious peace. Yang Peng didn't plan to meet the Tianzhu envoy, so he only asked Fan Yong to negotiate with the other party.
Yang Peng sat down. Fan Yong bowed down and stood in front of Yang Peng and said, "The negotiations are going well, and the other party has agreed to all the terms we proposed!" The agreement between the two parties was then presented to Yang Peng.
Yang Peng took the agreement and opened it to look at it. He smiled and nodded, and said, "I didn't expect them to agree to these terms, I really overestimated the Tianzhu people!" ”
Fan Yong smiled: "My subordinates didn't expect it. The other terms are okay, they even agreed to the terms of the annual tribute of five million taels of silver without hesitation, and they didn't even bargain, which was greatly unexpected by their subordinates. ”
Yan Ji, who was standing on the side, frowned and said: "So many clauses are also useful for this clause, others such as recognizing that the Tubo region, including the Bujan Yaze Kashmir region, belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and recognizing the Dhaka region east of the Ganges River as the inalienable territory of the Ming Dynasty, etc., we have already occupied these places, what is the point of signing this ridicule again?" ”
Yang Peng smiled: "You don't know this, don't look like it's useless, it's very useful!" First of all, after the signing of such a treaty, what will the people of the Dhaka region think? They will feel abandoned by their own country, and will be more receptive to the new ruler; In addition, no one knows what will become of the future situation, and with this agreement, it is ironclad historical evidence that these territories have belonged to us since ancient times, and in the future territorial disputes, our descendants can be in a more advantageous position. ”
Yan Ji only felt enlightened when she heard Yang Peng's words, and said angrily: "Husband, you have beaten your mind hundreds of years later, it's really treacherous!" Yang Peng smiled, couldn't help but hold Yan Ji's slender hand, and teased: "If your husband is not so treacherous, how can he get you!" Yan Ji said angrily: "Okay, it turns out that husband, you have been lying to your concubines all along!" The two of them flirted there, while Fan Yong looked at his nose and nose, and pretended to be a wooden man with his head down.
Yang Peng stood up, walked behind the bookcase, put down the agreement, picked up his seal and stamped the two agreements, and then signed his name on the two agreements. Put away the seal, picked up the agreement, handed it back to Fan Yong, and said, "I'll leave the rest to you." Fan Yong responded, took the agreement with both hands, and retreated.
Yang Peng turned his head to look at Yan Ji and said with a wicked smile: "Come here." ”
Yan Ji chuckled, didn't go over, turned around and walked towards the back. When I walked to the door, I looked back and smiled, and I didn't understand the meaning anymore. Yang Peng was excited and ran over. Coming out of the hall, I saw the beautiful shadow all the way in the direction of the dormitory, the shadow was full, Yang Peng's index finger moved, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of seeking seclusion in his heart, and hurriedly chased after it. Running into the dormitory, he saw Yan Ji's robe thrown on the ground at the door. Yang Peng bent down and picked up Yan Ji's robe, and the rich and fragrant smell went straight to Yang Peng's nose.
Yang Peng looked up and saw that a piece of Yan Ji's clothes and pants were scattered on the ground in front of him every one or two steps, leading him all the way to the curtain. Behind the curtain, Yang Peng couldn't help but be excited, and lifted the curtain and drilled in. ……
The news of the Ming Dynasty's agreement to a truce and a halt of war reached Delhi, and the city of Derry cheered, sweeping away the previously panicked and dreary atmosphere. The tavern was bustling with people talking about the glorious achievements of their own army in forcing the other side to agree to peace talks. People who don't understand the truth will see this scene, and nine times out of ten they will think that Tianzhu has won a great victory in the war with the Ming Dynasty.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
