Chapter 145: Shenglong Victory

In the spring of the 28th year of Zhengtong.

This year is the imperial examination year.

Although it is still more than a month before the Spring Examination, the Ming Dynasty has become lively. The city is bustling with juren coming to take the exam.

The so-called poor scholar and rich scholar.

The scholars may be poor, and they have not yet gained benefits from the imperial examinations, but in general, the Juren is relatively wealthy. Generally, the consumption brought by the 3,000 Juren is enough to make part of the Beijing urban area lively, which is the nearby inns and neighbors centered on the Gongyuan.

However, such an atmosphere cannot be spread to the inner community.

Forbidden City, in Wuying Hall.

A meeting is really being held.

This meeting was a pure military meeting.

Only Li Xian, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Luo Tong, the Grand Secretary of the cabinet, were sitting there. One of them was to summarize the overall situation and the other was to be responsible for military and national affairs, so they naturally had to be listed.

Except for these people, they are all in military uniforms.

Yang Hong and Shi Heng were the core, and one of the middle-aged and young generals was on both sides, such as Shi Jin, Meng Guang, Jiang Wan, Li Ying, Shi Biao, etc.

In addition, there are also some young people, most of whom are the best people who have just graduated from martial arts, who are all here to take action. These people are actually just watching.

The real decision was actually Yang Hong, Shi Heng, Li Xian, Luo Tong, and Zhu Qizhen.

Many people looked at Shi Heng slightly. The reason was no different.

Shi Heng's injury has not been completely healed. He still feels uncomfortable when walking, but time does not wait for anyone.

After all, it's already February.

When spring is warm and flowers bloom, it is time to send troops. Even in high-latitude areas, the recovery time will be a little later, but we will be ready to send troops in March and April.

Therefore, the whole plan always has to be ahead.

However, the reason why so many people value Shi Heng is that Shi Heng came out of the imperial prison alive, but was just injured by some flesh and blood. At this point, it can be called a legend.

Even so, there are still many civil servants who will not let him go.

Finally, Zhu Qizhen made a decision and said: "Shi Heng worked hard for the country, and now it is the time to use military force, so he is allowed to make meritorious contributions." This is how to calm down the discussion on matters.

But in this way, everyone knows that Shi Hengjian is in the Emperor's heart and is now a confidant general.

Before the meeting started, I heard the urgent report from outside and a good report came up.

Zhu Qizhen opened it and looked at it, laughed, and said, "The young children have already defeated the thief."

But it was the victory of the Battle of Shenglong.

Starting from the twelfth lunar month of the 27th year of Zhengtong, after the rainy season in Annan ended, Guo Deng was in charge of Hongyang, the original Taiyuan in Annan, and governed the grain road with Han Yong, divided into three routes, crossing the river from the upper, middle and lower reaches, and besieging Shenglong Mansion.

Crown Prince Zhu Jianjun asked for his appointment.

After Guo Deng discussed with Han Yong, he followed Liu Pu to attack from the upstream.

But I wanted the veteran to be calm and able to protect the prince without seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes.

But they mistakenly recognized this as a veteran.

Liu Pu is not a person without ability. He just didn't perform well for one reason or another. He was not as good as Liang San's attack when he was the first to be. Mu Bang made trouble, which forced him to divide his energy into two and pay attention to both sides.

This is the only fight.

Now facing the broken Annan.

The army was broken, and although there were still hundreds of thousands of troops, after careful study, it was just some old, weak, sick and disabled troops, and there was even a shortage of officers and generals.

If he had served as a soldier in the Annanjing Army before the war, as long as he could survive until now, he would be a middle-level general. The reason was that Annan's elite were destroyed by the 300,000 beheads of Lang Son.

Nowadays, there are still some army of old age, young and suitable age, who have been guarding Shenglong City by Li Sicheng.

Because he knew very well that Shenglong City was the place to fight.

So as soon as the war began, Liu Pu led the prince Zhu Jianjun and broke into the south of the Honghe River. Without waiting for the two armies to join, they almost swept across the cities south of the Honghe River with a single army, and drove straight into Shenglong City.

​​Shocked both sides.

Li Sicheng was shocked because the Ming army came too quickly and too anxious, so he was defeated so that he had no time to react.

He has actually been mentally prepared for failure.

However, this speed still made him unable to bear it, and he had to summon all the powerful troops near Shenglong City.

However, the Ming army was shocked in this regard, but the prince was still in Liu Pu's army.

The Yunnan Army led by Liu Pu is actually mediocre in terms of combat effectiveness and organizational ability. He is definitely not able to fight such a beautiful battle. Although Annan's military power is also one of the reasons. However, Liu Pu's ability to use troops cannot be ignored.

But the problem is that the prince is still wise. Although Annan's army is broken, there is not a single army that can be fought. Once something goes wrong, no one will be able to take care of it.

So, Guo Deng had to order to launch a general attack in advance, and launched a general attack without any chance of death in the other two groups, just in the face of Li Sicheng's strategic contraction.

So it was like a stone smashing the glass window and shattering. So the war was pushed to the bottom of Shenglong City before it started.

Surrounded on all sides.

The siege battle started.

I encountered a difficult problem here.

Li Sicheng decided to pay attention to defending Shenglong City to the death and never compromise.

So the battle in Shenglong City fought for about two months.

There was Li Sicheng's city to supervise the battle, and the city was filled with the last elite army of Annan. Although there were only tens of thousands, there were still more than 100,000 people in Annan to help. Even if the Ming Dynasty had cannons, it was extremely difficult for a while.

Shenglong is a strong city.

It took a month to open a gap, but after opening the gap, the fierce battle had just begun.

The vitality of a nation is best demonstrated when it encounters danger.

It is like the destruction of Ming, in full swing, and the destruction of Qing, like dust and earth. Although China still regards Annan as China's long-term land, the people of Annan do not see it this way.

They had long completed their independence in essence and spirituality. This is why the Ming Dynasty could destroy the country in seven months by launching the banner of suppressing the rebellion for the Chen Dynasty.

However, after the decision to abolish the country and establish a county, the resistance of the people of Annan never stopped.

Although Zhang Fu's use of troops is like a god, it is more important to be the support of the people.

Therefore, even after opening a few gaps in the small Shenglong City, the Ming army attacked and was driven out. From the siege to the palace, it was almost bloody every step.

Finally, after Li Sicheng fled into the palace with his defeated soldiers, he burned the entire palace with himself with a very local style.

The last emperor of Annan was destroyed with Annan.

This is what happened when the ministers of Annan jointly announced the victory.

It’s just a lot of words, but it’s not easy to say clearly in the memorial.

Today, Shenglong has become a abandoned city. If it is not cleaned up properly, people can no longer be occupied. Moreover, the resistance of the military and civilians of Annan did not end because of Shenglong's fall.

In Qinghua City, Li Sicheng's son ascended the throne with the support of Li Sicheng's queen Ruan and continued to resist.

Although there is no way to compare with the prefectures and counties in Qinghua City, the most stubborn place to resist the Ming Dynasty was near Qinghua City.

Now it seems that the history of that year is repeated.

So there are still some fighting in Annan.

Zhu Qizhen didn't care about these things.

Because of the Shenglong Victory, the Annan War transformed from a war to a security war. Although there were still tens of thousands of defeated soldiers in Qinghua, it was not worth mentioning in Zhu Qizhen's opinion.

Therefore, before the war of conquest in the Western Regions began, Zhu Qizhen waved his pen and returned to the Jiaozhi Administration, Jiaozhi Censorship Office, and Jiaozhi Command Office.

In other words, in addition to the sea in the west and east, the Ming Dynasty had another provincial unit.

Shenglong was changed to Jiaozhou.

And asked Han Yong to prepare to move Jiaozhou to coastal defense. The reason is very simple: strengthen the control of Jiaozhi. If the capital of Jiaozhi is near the sea, then with the ability of the Ming Navy, once there is some movement in Jiaozhi, you can directly attack the provincial capital.

In order to prepare for the long-term stability of Annan.

All the boundary mountains on both sides are assigned to Guangxi. If there is an almost enclave-like area on the Honghe Plain in Guangxi, there will be an almost enclave-like area. This is all based on an intention to allow the mountains and rivers between Guangxi and Jiaozhi to be controlled. Once Jiaozhi changes, there is no danger to defend, and the army can go straight to both sides of the Honghe River.
