Chapter 3 Du Zhangman

Liu Chang smiled and said, "The news I received is that Master will soon become a marquis because of the skill of Pingdu Palm Barbarians. However, there is nothing to say about Du Palm Barbarians. Just a group of savages in the mountains."

Tang Yin said: "Although they are savages in the mountains, they may not be easy to deal with. It is like Tibet, where the poor mountains and bad waters are still a big hit. But before now, have you even lost 5,000 troops?"

"I think it's hard to deal with."

Liu Chang sneered and said, "This is the Censor Wang who is seeking death."

Then he told the situation of Du Zhangman in detail.

The Duzhangman tribe has a long history in the mountains and was the descendant of the Liao people during the Qin and Han dynasties. However, after entering the Ming Dynasty, I was still relatively honest at the beginning, but after that, I was a little unrest.

He repeatedly harassed all parts of Xuzhou Prefecture, Sichuan. Although the Ming Dynasty also did a lot of ways to suppress Duzhanman with the garrison.

However, the corruption of the Daming Wei system gradually became unscrupulous. Local people complained and formed two different opinions in the court, including encirclement and suppression and reprimand.

At this time, the outcome of the Annan War was not decided, so Zhu Qizhen ordered the revenge, and it was considered as a polite first and then a soldier.

However, the Battle of Annan was soon decided.

After the three battles of Lang Son, Shenglong and Qinghua, the Li family was almost wiped out. Although Annan still had resistance, they all resisted sporadically, and there was no team of more than a thousand people.

Under this situation, Wang Hao, the censor who was responsible for pursuing the Du Zhangman, had other attention in his heart.

This is also the impact of Zhu Qizhen's always emphasized the transformation of land and return to the flow.

Because in the Battle of Annan, nearly ten counts were produced, many of these counts were hereditary chieftains in Guangxi, and Zhu Qizhen used their titles to buy out their hereditary land.

Now several of the Cen family, Huang family, Tian family, Long family, and have settled in Beijing.

Even in martial arts, there are children from these families.

So, Wang Hao had other ideas and wanted to follow his example.

So he offered preferential conditions to induce the leaders of the Duzhangman tribes and then kill them all. He then urgently summoned the five thousand guards to march into the Duzhangman.

But Wang Hao almost did bad things with kindness.

One of the reasons why Zhu Qizhen tolerated Du Zhang Barbarians was that the Du Zhang Barbarians were not united in the country. Their plunder was a living habit, rather than intentionally opposing the court.

Sometimes, in order to survive, there is no moral bottom line.

However, Wang Hao killed all the leaders of Duzhang Barbarians.

The Duzhang Barbarians' headless dragons are truly unavailable, but they also cleared the biggest obstacle to the unity of Duzhang Barbarians, allowing the Barbarian King Agou to quickly control everyone.

Moreover, Censor Wang was not involved in military affairs. After quickly entering the mountain, he was ambushed by Duzhangman. Only dozens of people fled back. As for Censor Wang himself, he died in the chaos.

The ending of Censor Wang is also a good thing for him.

Otherwise, how could he escape back? The decision waiting for him is to severely punish the country and law, and maybe he will implicate his family. Either he will be executed or a long-distance flow.

Zhu Qizhen has won only a handful of defeats since he ascended the throne. The worst ones are the Battle of Maoerzhuang, followed by the Battle of Baitengjiang. But no matter how you say, Washu and Annan are both great powers.

It is normal to fight against a great power, and there are recurrences in it.

But what is Du Zhangman? He even lost such a big battle.

Beijing was shocked for a moment.

Zhu Qizhen immediately ordered the troops withdrawing from Annan to be transferred 30,000 elite troops, led by Wang Yue, to command the military and civilians of Yun, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, to encircle and suppress the Duzhanman.

The reason for this is not that the Duzhangman is so large that it requires the use of the three provinces. Instead, the Duzhangman is in the junction area of ​​the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.

If the three provinces work together to encircle and suppress, there will be situations where neighbors are harmed.

Since its founding, Duzhangman has been rebelling and has not been dealt with, and this may not be without this reason.

Although Liu Chang said that Du Zhangman was a group of savages in the mountains, he still had lingering fears when he recalled the war that had just ended in the first half of this year.

He said: "The monks of the palms are all chiseled teeth and broken hair. They like to use gongs as horns. They are like walking on flat ground in the mountains. It is even more strange that they actually buried the coffin on the cliffs. It's really strange."

This is something that Chang Liu's troops can understand.

But it is also the only thing that Du Zhangman left to the world.

The Duzhangman in history was because of his rebellion. In the Ming Dynasty, he encircled and suppressed three times. He finally killed all the people, allowing Duzhangman to disappear into the long river of history.

The only thing that stayed is the wonder of hanging coffin on the cliff that many strangers enjoyed.

Liu Chang sighed and said, "It's not difficult to hit the palm. If it is placed on the flat ground, those tens of thousands of people will be broken by only a few thousand. But the difficulty lies in the terrain."

In history, the Chenghua Battle of the Ming Dynasty mobilized more manpower and material resources than the Battle of Luchuan, and wiped out the Duzhangman in one fell swoop, and it would be a hundred years later to restore Duzhangman's vitality.

But now the Ming Dynasty is much stronger than the Ming Dynasty in history.

Although it has not completely entered the firearm era, at least one foot has been stepped into it.

The Ming army had overwhelming advantages against the Duzhan barbarians, no matter what direction it was, and the gap in combat power was as Liu Chang said.

"The barbarians have two cities, one is Lingxiao and the other is Jiusi. Lingxiao is the mouth of the mountain. Lingxiao City is on the top of Lingxiao Mountain. The city has cliffs on three sides, which are unattainable. There are only one side, but there are forty-eight turns on the mountain road. It can be said that it is high above Lingxiao City, and we are all under their sight."

"Enemy can shoot down with crossbows, but even our artillery is difficult to attack, and the elevation angle is too large."

When Liu Chang said this, he sighed heavily, then took out a small wine pot and drank a heavy drink.

"So, how did Marquis of Weinan respond?" Sun Cuo asked immediately.

Liu Chang said: "My uncle chose 300 dead soldiers. He took advantage of the night to climb up from one cliff. I was among them. Everyone bit the wooden sticks and sweared that he would not make a sound even if he fell to death."

"As a result, half of the people fell to death on the cliff, that is, I led a few brothers to break into Lingxiao City and bought a quarter of an hour for the army."

"Although this Lingxiao City is very dangerous, the area on the mountain is not large, with only more than a thousand people. After the army climbed, they fought with it, so the thieves naturally could not resist it."

"This is how Lingxiao City was pulled out."

"But although this Lingxiao City is steep, it is nothing compared to Jiusi City."

Zhang Jie said: "What kind of dangerous method is this Jiusi City?"

Liu Chang sighed and said, "This Jiusi City is not a city, but better than a city."

"Jiusi City is a mountain with cliffs on three sides and one side can climb. Not to mention, there are more than twenty miles above the top of the mountain, with several streams, and the middle is flat ground, which can be cultivated."

“Even tens of thousands of people live in the mountains, there is no problem.”

"This is not a city that people can build. It is simply a majestic city thrown by God from the Tianshan Mountains."

Although several people had never led their troops to fight, they still had basic common sense in martial arts. After hearing this carefully, they immediately took a breath.

Before, Lingxiao City was dangerous, but it was just a small city. As long as it was broken, it would be broken.

But today's Jiusi City is different.

Jiusi City is large enough that it seems to be able to repeat the previous practices and make people climb up the cliff, but in fact it is absolutely impossible.

There is nothing else, because the small city can only cause a gap, and it cannot support the attack of the army. Even after a long battle, the army in the small city is a minority.

However, there are many people in Jiusi City, and they have to monitor the surrounding cliffs. Not to mention whether they can climb up, even if they can climb up, how many people can climb up at a time?

The number of people is definitely not high.

So even if one or two hundred people climbed up, this is already a big deal. Facing the Duzhangman gathered thousands of people, he had no chance of winning at all. But the disciples were just sent to death.

This can be seen as an alternative to attacking the enemy at half-fold.
