Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zheng Pi, Zheng Zuo and his son were really scared this time, and even pulled the Taiyuan garrison back to Shenglong Mansion.

    Taiyuan City in Annan Kingdom is located fifty miles north of its capital, and like Lang Son, it is the northern barrier of Annan Kingdom.

    Lang Son defenders are defending Guangxi.

    The Taiyuan defenders were defending Gaoping.

    In the valley of Gaoping, there is a Mo family regime.  .  The Zheng family and the Ruan family started their careers by overthrowing the Mo family, and the Mo family has not been wiped out until now.

    Historically, the Mo family first supported Nanming, then took refuge in the Qing Dynasty, and then attached themselves to Wu Sangui, and finally committed suicide.

    Only 500 soldiers were left in Taiyuan to defend the city, and the remaining 1,000 troops were all recalled to Shenglong Mansion by Zheng Pi.  As for whether the Mo family took advantage of the opportunity to invade, Zheng Pi could no longer care so much. He lost tens of thousands of troops in his previous expedition, and he was seriously short of troops.

    ?Because of the civil war in Annan, the army in the hinterland was evacuated, and the Datong army was invincible in Qinghua and Ngee An.

    After occupying Yi'an City, Yuan Shizhong each sent hundreds of soldiers to capture the nearby Anren (Nan'an) and Zhongyi (Yanzhou).  None of these cities had Annan's regular army, and local officials could be said to have surrendered on the lookout.

    After seizing the city, the Datong Army did not leave anyone to defend, directly hired local farmers, emptied the treasury and marched north.

    The battle on Li Dingguo's side went more smoothly. The Datong Navy warship sailed outside Qinghua City, and a burst of shelling solved the problem.  The city guard here is actually surnamed Zheng, he is Zheng Pi's nephew, and he quickly surrendered when he saw the Datong army.

    Yuan Shizhong led his troops on a naval warship, quickly joined forces with Li Dingguo, and occupied the city of Nanding without any effort. It is located on the bank of the Red River and is only 180 miles away from Thang Long Mansion.

    Until this moment, Zheng Pi finally completed gathering troops.

    With the few remnants left before, plus the troops of Qin Wang from all walks of life, Zheng unexpectedly pulled up an army of more than 40,000 people.  It's just that more than 70% of them are Xiangyong, which is similar to that of the Daming team that Zhao Han met in Jiangxi.

    Zheng led his troops to station in Xing'an City, only 50 miles away from Li Dingguo.

    ? If you want to attack Thang Long Mansion from Nanding, the fastest and most convenient route is to go up the Red River. Zheng's army is stuck on the only way.

    "Father, the battle must be resolved quickly, otherwise we will not have enough food." Zheng Zuo reminded.

    Zheng said: "If the enemy doesn't attack, and defend Nanding City by the river, how can we make a quick victory."

    Zheng Zuo said: "But the military rations are really not enough."

    Zheng Pi ordered: "You take people to the countryside to collect food, the more food you collect, the better!"

    Previously, there were more than 70,000 shi of rice grain in the treasury, and the armies of King Qin from all walks of life brought more than 10,000 shi of rice.  But there are more than 40,000 soldiers, and each of them only has more than 200 catties of food. When they gathered in Shenglong Mansion, they lingered for more than half a month.

    There is no oil and water, lack of protein, and no snacks and fruits.  In this case, a grown man,

    I can eat several catties of rice every day.

    Zheng Pi ordered his son to go to the countryside to collect food, and at the same time ordered the whole army to reduce the food: the regular army only ate one catty of food a day, and the Xiangyong only ate ten taels of food a day.

    Of course, nobles, generals, and gentry are not bound by this.

    Take Li Shenzong, Li Zhenzong and his son as an example. Although they are both puppet kings, their treatment must be guaranteed.

    Fearing that the royalists would cause chaos, Zheng brought the puppet king and his son, and handed over court affairs to his daughter Zheng Yuzhu.

    Zheng Pi's daughter, Zheng Yuzhu, is the wife of the Supreme Emperor Li Shenzong, the not-so-principal Supreme Empress.

    It's not serious because Zheng Yuzhu was married and had four children.

    At that time, the real queen died of illness, and Zheng Pi wanted to control the king through marriage, but he didn't have any extra daughters.

    So, the son-in-law was accused and sent to prison, and his daughter and four children were remarried to the king.

    In the army, Wang Zhang.

    Li Shenzong, Li Zhenzong, father and son, ate and drank silently, with the maid standing beside them watching them.

    After drinking a pot of wine, Li Shenzong took the opportunity to go berserk and beat up the court lady as soon as he took his job.

    The court lady was beaten and fled in embarrassment. Li Shenzong hurriedly said: "Look for an opportunity to surrender to the Han, and take advantage of the situation to restore the country!"

    "ButFather, this matter may not be easy." Li Zhenzong was even more courageous.

    It was because Li Shenzong was disobedient and secretly made troubles when Zheng Pi was defeated that he was abolished and let his son succeed him.

    But Li Zhenzong was frightened, he didn't have the blood of a young man at all.

    Li Shenzong roared angrily in a low voice: "It's not easy to do, don't you want to be a puppet for the rest of your life?"

    If it is something else, Li Shenzong can bear it,sp;The common people in Annan, with two crops a year and three crops a year, can't afford to be exploited like this, even the landlord's family doesn't have much food left.

    By the way, Lord Zheng's Yigan Society, Tang Muyi, is all located in Tsinghua.

    Zheng Pi's old mansion has been copied by Li Dingguo!

    Gan Shoudao and his slaves rushed to the other side of the river in Nanding city day and night.  There is Yuan Shizhong's military camp by the river, and Li Dingguo is stationed in the city with his troops.

    Gan Shoudao was caught as a spy, and after crying, he was taken to see Li Dingguo.

    "General, help!" Gan Shoudao knelt down.

    Li Dingguo asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

    Gan Shoudao replied: "The grass people are the people of Xing'an Prefecture. The Zheng family is cruel and ruthless. They plunder the people's rations to fund the army. If there is any resistance, the family will be destroyed. Please send troops quickly to save thousands of people from the fire and water."  !"

    Of course Li Dingguo sent spies out, and he also knew that Zheng was sending troops to plunder the people.

    However, just by looking at Gan Shoudao's clothes, one can tell that he is a landlord.  Being able to force the landlords to surrender to the enemy shows that the Zheng family has lost popular support and the time for a decisive battle is ripe.

    Li Dingguo asked Gan Shoudao to stay as a guide, and then ordered: "Let's march tomorrow, and distribute food to the people along the way!"

    The Datong army is not short of food. Zheng Pi's hometown in Qinghua collects one-eighth of the country's land tax every year.  Except for those who were transported to Thang Long Mansion, except for those who were engaged in grain business, the rest of the grain was piled up in the warehouse.

    What's even more funny is that more than half of the 4,000 Annan officers and soldiers stationed in Qinghua usually guard the granary for Zheng Pi outside the city.

    The food there is all cheaper than Li Dingguo.  <a href="https:///60324_60324500/713900937.html" target="_blank">https:///60324_60324500/713900937.html</a> The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co
