An hour later, the war ended, and all 10,000 Annam forbidden troops were wiped out.

The Yingzhou Guard and Duoyan Guard led by Liu Chang were very Buddhist, and after the battle, they quickly withdrew their troops, and they didn't even bother to cut off their heads.

The heads of 10,000 Annan forbidden troops, worth 30,000 taels of silver, all belonged to the wolf soldiers of the two Guangjing Anjun troops.

The reason why there is such a bizarre scene is because Zhu Qiyu made a strict order before the expedition, and this time the Beijing army marched south, and the merit will not be recorded by the head.

If the whole battle is devastated and fought beautifully, each ordinary soldier will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver, and the officer will be doubled. The results of the battle were average, and each ordinary soldier was rewarded with twenty taels of silver.

Zhu Qiyu acted in this way with three considerations: first, the defeat of the Ming army of the Xuande Dynasty in Annam was mostly ambushed. If the reward is calculated according to the number of heads, it is easy for the Ming army to enter the rhythm of competing for the head and underestimating the enemy's rash advance, which will give the enemy another opportunity to take advantage of.

Second, the army is under the banner of recovering Annam, nominally Annam belongs to a part of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of Annam are also the subjects of the Ming Emperor. It is also not decent for the Beijing army to cut off people's heads everywhere. There are some jobs that can be done by the toast soldiers.

Third, the 80,000 pro-army went south, just to assist, and by the way, gilded the resume, there is no need to work desperately. For example, Yingzhou Wei, this time Liu Chang brought four young commanders, and the veterans were all staying at home.

Young people are in good health and are more adaptable to the new environment in the south. Zhu Qiyu is also afraid that his veterans will not adapt to the climate and soil in the south, and it will not be worth it if they die.

On April 25, Xu Youzhen, Yang Xinmin, and Wang Tong led 30,000 Chinese troops to Langshan Fucheng.

Yang Xinmin couldn't believe the results: "That's the end of the fight?" The war is going much smoother than expected, isn't it? ”

Xu Youzhen spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Back then, it wasn't that the Annan army was too capable of fighting, but that some traitors were too wasteful.

After that, Annan had not fought a major war for almost 30 years, and they themselves despised the Ming Dynasty very much, so it was normal for them to be complacent and have slackened armaments.

It is the inevitable result that our 200,000-strong army suddenly launched an attack, destroyed the withering and decayed, and encircled Tokyo.

It's just that one drum is vigorous, and then it declines, and three drums are exhausted.

Whether or not we can quickly take Tokyo is the key to the war, and it is also the biggest test for us.

If Tokyo cannot be attacked for a long time, and the small resistance forces in these places we occupy continue to attack and disturb, it will be a big trouble. ”

"So are we going straight to Tokyo now?"

Xu Youzhen shook his head: "No, I will lead the army to defeat Beijiang Mansion, and Yang Gong will lead the Jing'an army to pick up Huang Song from the sea, and attack Xin'an Mansion from the east and west."

Then a steady stream of grain and artillery was transported from the sea to Tan An and Bac Giang.

Let's first stock up on grain and grass and materials, and establish a Xin'an-Beijiang defense line.

In the end, the Jing'an army was sent to guerrilla operations between Tokyo and Xin'an-Bac Gang.

Let's smash it with silver, and the head of an enemy soldier is three or two, and as for the Beijing army, shrink into the defense line and preserve its strength. ”

Yang Xinmin was even more puzzled: "You said that you want to take Tokyo in one go, and you say that you want to build the Xin'an-Beijiang defense line, isn't this contradictory?" ”

Xu Youzhen smiled: "Let's let the Jing'an Army composed of the two wolf soldiers of Guangzhou and Guangzhou kill the Yunnan army to the city of Tokyo before the Yunnan army, which is considered the first merit."

As for Tokyo City, let's let Jing Yuanbo be the main attacker.

I want to ensure that the Ming Dynasty can take Annan lightly, and I also want to bring back the 80,000 Beijing troops. These 80,000 Jing troops are the descendants of the Holy Lord's lineage, and they are also the biggest capital of the Saint, if they suffer major damage, our future will be over.

The Holy Lord was originally set to be the main attack of Uncle Jingyuan, and it is enough for us to do our job well. ”

The two discussed and decided, and Yang Xinmin led 10,000 wolf soldiers, 10,000 Shenji battalions, and 10,000 Tiance guards to meet Huang Song, and Xu Youzhen left Langshan Mansion City to the Xiaocai battalion to guard.

Li Yimin, the king of Langshan, led a thousand personal soldiers; According to Guangdong, Yang Yi led 10,000 taels of wolf soldiers; Both are precursors; Xu Youzhen led the main army and then swept towards Beijiang Mansion.

Xu Youzhen was most worried about the instability of the rear, so he not only left the governor of Guangxi, Zhen Wan, to guard the rear, but also took Yang Yi with him.

Yang Yi, who was originally the deputy envoy of Guangdong, was recommended by Xu Youzhen as the envoy of Guangdong this time.

Yang Yi's brother Yang Ning was the squire of the Criminal Department and the governor of Jiangxi at this time.

Jiangxi is bordering Guangdong, Xu Youzhen's meaning is very clear, if Yang Ning does anything in the rear, then I can't live, and your brother doesn't want to live, if you want to die, everyone will die together.

In fact, Yang Ning was forced to have no choice but to raise grain and grass materials in Jiangxi and wholeheartedly support the southern expeditionary army.

Five days later, looking at the boundless Great Tomorrow soldiers, Beijiang Mansion surrendered without a fight under the persuasion of Li Yimin.

Huang Song's department, which had been storming Xin'an Province for many days, was greatly boosted by Yang Xinmin's support and broke the city in one fell swoop.

On the first day of the fifth month, Xu Youzhen and Yang Xinmin, after informing each other of the results of the battle, began to stop the offensive and commanded the army to build the Xin'an-Beijiang defense line.

Only Yang Yi led 20,000 wolf soldiers of the Jing'an Army and Huang Song led 10,000 soldiers and horses of the headquarters to cooperate with Li Yimin to attack back and forth between Tokyo and the Xin'an-Beijiang defense line.

Empress Dowager Xuanci, Li Jun, and civil and military ministers such as Ruan Chi and Ding Lie were both shocked and angry.

Shocked by how well prepared the Ming army was and how quickly the offensive came.

The anger was because guerrilla was the traditional specialty of the Annam army, and as a result, the Annam army did not engage in guerrilla warfare, but the Ming army took the lead in launching guerrilla warfare.

On the Western Front, the three cities of Xuanhua, Guihua, and Jiaxing have been besieged for many days, and the 10,000 Annan Forbidden Army that went to support them stopped moving forward in Sanjiang Mansion.

Li Jun once again put forward his opinion: "Let's withdraw the 10,000 reinforcements from Sanjiang Mansion as soon as possible." The 10,000 reinforcements sent out to resist the Champa should also be withdrawn.

Then the grain, grass, supplies, ordnance, and young and brave men of the surrounding provinces were all gathered in Tokyo.

As long as Tokyo is not lost within two years, the veterans of the Great Ming Division will be tired and demoralized. Coupled with the lack of adaptation to water and soil and the abundance of epidemics, we will definitely be able to usher in a turnaround. ”

This time, the important ministers were no longer silent, and Ding Lie reminded: "Your Majesty, if the 20,000 forbidden troops are withdrawn to Tokyo, it will mean that all of our lands have fallen except for Tokyo. ”

Li Jun asked rhetorically: "Don't you hear about Tian Dan and Le Yi?" ”

Seeing that his emperor imagined the way Qi Guo played, Ding Lie stopped talking, and the other ministers stopped talking.

The Empress Dowager Xuanci replied worriedly: "Then all the people outside Tokyo are going to be ravaged." When the enemy burns and loots, and the whole country is scorched, how can we see our ancestors and ancestors underground? ”

"What does the Queen mean?"

"Surrender, and it is a quick surrender, and cooperate with the Ming army to quickly occupy the whole territory. In this way, Champa, Lancang and other countries, as well as those Tusi soldiers, can be kept out.

We have discussed well with the Ming army, and it is possible for them to treat the people well.

If it were the local soldiers in the surrounding area, they would never have any mercy for the people. ”

Li Jun still disagrees with the Empress Dowager Xuanci: "But during the Yongle Dynasty, the Ming army killed and plundered us.

Today's Ming army is no different, and those small Ming troops flowing in Beijiang Mansion have no military discipline. ”

Ding Lie advised: "Your Majesty also said, it is just a small Ming army. And according to the report of the sentinels, those are all native soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi.

The military discipline of the Beijing army of the Ming Dynasty is strict and very regular.

We surrendered quickly, and added a clause to the terms of surrender that the Ming Dynasty must repatriate these native soldiers, as well as the troops of the surrounding countries.

Then the turmoil will be quickly quelled, and the people will be saved.

The minister has been observing in Beijing for many days, and the current emperor is indeed benevolent and tolerant to the people, and he is by no means treating the people like a mustard. ”

Li Jun sneered: "Aiqing is an envoy to Beijing, what benefits did the great tomorrow promise you?" Is it possible to keep the Marquis after surrendering?

Even to be promoted to the rank of official and knighted, and to be named the prince of the country?

There are already 300,000 troops outside the city, Aiqing doesn't have to hide it anymore, let's just say it. ”

As soon as these heart-wrenching words came out, Rao is Li Jun was young, but Ding Lie still knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the great tomorrow has indeed won over Yu Weichen, but Weichen's heart is to Your Majesty, and his loyalty can be shown to the sun and the moon, how can he be the traitor who seeks glory." ”

The Empress Dowager Xuanci saw that things were not going to be like this, so she hurriedly spoke out to dissuade her: "Okay, don't punish the heart when talking about politics, what the court marquis said is also the words of the old Cheng to seek the country."

According to the emperor's words, all the grain, grass and materials from the surrounding provinces, as well as the warriors who are good at fighting, were transferred back to Tokyo.

As for the 20,000 forbidden troops outside, Rong Bengong thought about it again.

Tingshanghou, you have worked hard, go and talk to Uncle Jingyuan of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Dare to ask the Queen Mother, to what extent?"

"You go and probe first, and then send a messenger to return quickly."

The second day of the fifth month.

Zhu Qiyu woke up in the morning and lay on the bed and sighed.

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously, "What's wrong with my husband?" ”

"Oops, it's on fire, I have several big bubbles in my mouth, it hurts."

"As for the husband, there are nearly 300,000 troops in the south, isn't that pure bullying, who can stop such an offensive.

And even the slave family knows that the land of Annam, which is long and narrow from north to south, is like a long snake formation.

If the head, tail, waist and abdomen are attacked at the same time, it means that the real head and tail cannot take care of each other, and there is as much pain as it wants. ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "I don't worry about the final result, I'm worried about the 80,000 pro-army." ”

"Don't worry, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people. Besides, Xu Youzhen still wants to be the first assistant, he doesn't dare to take his husband's family background blindly.

If he really loses the battle, what awaits him is only three feet of white silk. ”

"Well, that's right, he shouldn't want to die yet. Let Wang Ji take the main attack, as long as Annan is successfully taken, Xu Youzhen will be the next first assistant steadily, and he does not need to rush forward. ”

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "Husband, let's order one of our sisters, and see who will go to the fire for Husband." ”

"Forget it, don't go to the fire, has the eunuch Ma Qi who harmed Annan found it?"
