Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xu Shiji besieged Tian Weikang for several more days, until Tian Weikang's troops were completely exhausted.

    The end of food means the end of life. Under the double blow of being surrounded and running out of food, this group of barbarians began to compete with each other for food and attacked Shangguan. Some even began to switch sides and surrender to the Ming army.

    The entire Tian family's army has been defeated.

    At this time, Tian Weikang finally decided to surrender.

    Tian Weikang knew very well that it was Tian's army that supported Tian's rule in central Guizhou.  The total army of the entire Tian family will never exceed 30,000, and the one-third of the soldiers and horses in his hands are the elites. If they are all killed here, it will definitely hurt the Tian family.

    Without the military suppression, the various tribes within the central Guizhou barbarians, as well as the Zoke Xie clan and the Qingjiang Ran clan outside who wanted to smash the Tian family to pieces, would all pounce on the Tian family like hungry wolves and keep biting the Tian family.  torso.

    "And the Ming army can definitely order all the ministries to fight with the Tian family. The Tian family, who is suffering from internal and external troubles and is surrounded by enemies from both sides, cannot win at all.

    The most important thing is that the father is old and has only two sons. The second brother is trapped in Yuanling. If he dies here again, I am afraid that the entire Tian family will start to fall into chaos.

    So in Tian Weikang's opinion, the best choice is to bow to the Ming army.

    Tian Weikang knew very well that the Central Plains dynasties were all states of etiquette and valued reputation.  As long as he behaves more respectfully and humbly, maybe Ming Dynasty will not only not deal with them, but may also give them generous rewards to appease them.

    So Tian Weikang led more than 6,000 remaining soldiers to surrender to the Ming army.

    Xu Shiji treated Tian Weikang with courtesy. Not only did he not detain him, he also invited him to the Chinese army's tent to be treated as an honored guest.

    The six thousand surrendered troops were also disarmed and placed in a selected location.

    This is different from what Tian Weikang imagined. How come the treatment given to them by the Celestial Master is not as good as imagined?

    At this time, Xu Shiji couldn't care less about dealing with him. The real decisive battle between the Ming army and the barbarian coalition forces in central Guizhou had already begun. He must reinforce the battlefield as soon as possible.

    Xu Shiji left two battalions of the Forty Army to guard the surrender of Tian's army. The rest of the troops rushed eastward to Dongping Village in the east.

    This ambush battle of the Ming army is inherently interconnected.

    Tian Zongxian has two sons. No matter which one of them is in trouble, they will rush to rescue them.  Therefore, the Ming army surrounded Yuanling City first, so that Tian Zongxian would send his eldest son Tian Weikang, who had conquered Jingnan before and was the most powerful, to rescue him.  The Ming army took the opportunity to ambush Tian Weikang, so Tian Zongxian had to come to the rescue in person.

    As expected by the Ming army, Tian Zongxian panicked when he heard that his eldest son was ambushed and trapped.

    Although Tian Zongxian loves his younger son more, he pays more attention to the eldest son who has been carefully cultivated for many years.  Tian Weikang has been managing the family with him since he was a teenager. He is calm, methodical, smart and capable, and is highly recognized by his father and family members.  Tian Zongxian even handed over the family's fundamental position of governor of Guizhou to his eldest son, which shows his great trust in him.

    Tian Zongxian simply could not imagine what the consequences would be if something happened to his eldest son.

    So Tian Zongxian decided to lead the more than 20,000 people he gathered from various villages and villages to rescue the eldest son.

    What Tian Zongxian didn¡¯t know was that whether it was besieging Yuanling City or ambushing Tian Weikang, they were just appetizers. The real target of the Ming army was Tian Zongxian.

    The entire Tian family¡¯s troops were like the gourd baby saving his grandfather, one by one, rushing forward and succeeding.

    In order to rescue his eldest son, Tian Zongxian was so anxious that he marched faster, almost at a pace day and night.  He believed that the mountains and rivers in central Guizhou were his territory and he was very familiar with them. However, the Ming army came from afar and did not know the terrain, so it was incomparable to him.  Therefore, Tian Zongxian was almost completely unprepared for the surrounding environment.

    Finally, Tian Zongxian arrived at Dongping Village after marching for several days.

    Dongping Village is located seventy miles west of Eryou Mountain.

    This place is located at a three-way intersection, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with an open valley in the middle, and Youxi River flows through the mountains from the north.

    After Xu Shiji successfully surrounded Tian Weikang, Ou Yan left the 62nd Army to continue besieging Yuanling City. He personally led the 61st Army, county soldiers, and native soldiers to Dongping Village.  He ordered Yang Lin to lead the 62nd Army to ambush in the valley to the south, while Pei Zhenan led the county soldiers to ambush in the mountains on both sides of the Youxi River, and he himself led the army to ambush in the Zhuping River in the northeast.

    To the northeast, there are two mountains and one river, and the roads are all shoals next to the river.  If a small group of troops are blocked here, there will be one man who is blocking the way and ten thousand men will not be able to break through.

    Soon Tian Zongxian came from Qianzhou.

    After Tian¡¯s army crossed Dongping, Pei Zhenan, who was ambushing on the mountain, immediately led his troops to attack from behind.The attack cut off the return route of Tian Zongxian's troops.

    At the same time, the Ming troops in the northeast and south rushed out at the same time after receiving Pei Zhenan's signal. In this valley, Tian Zongxian's troops were surrounded on three sides.

    Tian Zongxian's department is originally a coalition army, and its combat effectiveness and cohesion are not as good as Tian Weikang's department.

    Although Tian Zongxian resisted desperately, he was still outnumbered. In the end, Tian Zongxian led his troops in a bloody battle for three days, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

    Tian Zongxian struggled to escape the siege, but the remaining troops around him were less than a thousand.

    Ou Yan did not kill them all. After cleaning the battlefield, he calmly returned.

    If he wants to completely pacify central Guizhou, Ou Yan must do his best to eliminate evil. Even if he doesn't kill Tian Zongxian, he must find a way to make prisoners.  It's a pity that Ming Dynasty is now unable to care about the central Guizhou area, so he has to temporarily subdue the other party, extend a hand first, and deal with the rest later.

    It has to be said that both sides have the same idea, to convince the other party and then negotiate.

    Ou Yan returned to Yuanling City and commanded the army to attack the city.  At this time, Tian Weikang and Tian Zongxian had been eaten by the Ming army, and there was no need to keep Yuanling City as a bait.

    After two days of fierce fighting, the Ming army defeated Yuanling City and captured Tian Weishan alive.

    So far, Tian Zongxian¡¯s two sons have fallen into the hands of Ming Dynasty.

    With these two people, the decision will be easier to negotiate.

    Tian Zongxian could not care about settling the internal affairs. After escaping back to Qianzhou, he sent people to Yuanling to negotiate with Ming Dynasty.

    This time, Mr. Tian no longer had the arrogance he had before.  In exchange for his two sons, Tian Zongxian would do anything.

    Although Tian Zongxian has been famous in central Guizhou for more than 30 years, his bones were broken in this battle.  He is already old, and if his second son never comes back, he may not even be able to keep his position.

    "Everyone is afraid of Tian Zongxian, but not the unrivaled Tian Zongxian.

    At this time, the Ming Dynasty had no intention of destroying Tian Zongxian.

    The terrain in central Guizhou is there, and it may not work if someone else is there.

    In the end, the two parties agreed that Tian would become a minister to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would grant Tian an official position.  The Ming Dynasty took back Yuanling County and acquiesced to Tian's rule over Qian'an and Yangming counties, but had the right to garrison troops and dispatch local officials.

    The most important thing is that the Tian family offers a certain amount of money, grain, mercury and other items to the Ming Dynasty every year. This offering is more cost-effective than directly collecting taxes.

    At this point, the land in central Guizhou has barely settled down.
