Rule over Ming Dynasty
Chapter 240
Chapter 240
Shenglong City, Baoguang Palace.
Li Sicheng dispatched the last of his personal guards yesterday to stop Wang Yue's army from going south, and while he was walking back and forth waiting for the latest military situation, he unexpectedly learned that the Ming army on the eastern front had already entered the city.
kill!
Even though he was in the palace at the moment, he could still hear the sound of killing from the north city gate.
"how can that be?"
"You Xiangguo opened the city gate to welcome the Ming army to enter the city!"
Li Sicheng's eyes were still on the northern front, but when he found that the Ming army had entered the city, he was stunned.
Not to mention where this Ming army came from, the defenders of Wangcheng not only did not fight bloody for him, but opened the city gate to welcome the Ming army.
Things were changing so quickly that he was not psychologically prepared at all. The empire that he had always thought could compete with the Ming Dynasty collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
No, this can't be true?
Li Sicheng didn't think that the empire he was proud of was so fragile, and he hoped that all this was a dream, but the getting closer and closer shouts let him know that the Ming army had already reached the palace.
The Li Dynasty, which only occupied the eastern front of the Indochina Peninsula, was not as powerful as he imagined, and the Ming Dynasty, which had two capitals and thirteen provinces, was not as weak as he thought. This time, he was just arrogant.
When Li Sicheng learned of You Xiangguo's betrayal, he immediately gritted his teeth with hatred for Ding Rui: "Damn it! Ding Rui, I will definitely tear you to pieces!"
"Your Majesty, the palace can no longer be defended, what should we do now?" The commander who reported ran away with his helmet, looking very anxious.
Li Sicheng never thought that his royal city would be so vulnerable, and he immediately fell to the ground: "It's over, it's really over!"
The most terrifying thing about Ming Dynasty this time is not the military attack, but the political division, which is intended to fundamentally subvert the Annan legal status of their Li clan.
Boom!
After rounds of collisions, the gate of the palace was finally knocked open.
kill!
Daming's army immediately rushed into the palace like a tiger descending a mountain with a knife.
"Capture King Annan and reward him!"
Wang Shouren, who was just 17 years old, served as the leader of the vanguard. The immaturity on his face has gradually disappeared, and he shouted like a young general.
The Ming army was dissatisfied with the salary, and the full salary was invincible.
Since its establishment, the Gannan Army has been greatly criticized, and was even made things difficult by the Jiangxi governor because of its high salaries. However, their strength and value have been proved in the encirclement and suppression of Jiangxi bandits.
This time, he was transferred to Lianzhou, Guangdong Province by the imperial court to join forces with the Guangdong soldiers to conquer Annan. Wang Hua, the governor of southern Jiangxi, served as the commander of the Eastern Front Army.
Especially in this crusade, the southern Jiangxi army served as the absolute main force, and they took most of the heads. On the contrary, the Guangdong soldiers were only supporting.
"kill!"
The soldiers of the Gannan Army had already tasted the sweetness of the military exploits, and they rushed into the palace and started killing immediately.
Whether it is for personal career or to earn more rewards, the most important military merit of the imperial court, they have enough reasons to fight the enemy bravely.
There is not much defense here anymore, and now that the defense of the palace is weak, they naturally cherish this opportunity to finally win the military merit.
puff!
When Wang Shouren saw that a servant wanted to set fire, he immediately drove his horse forward to kill him, and his immature face was splashed with blood.
After more than half a year of military life, he has already become a qualified soldier.To create a peaceful and prosperous world for China, it is inseparable from soldiers defending the territory, and more importantly, soldiers must fight for the country.
Now Annan is actually ignoring the authority of the Ming Dynasty. Since he killed the people on the southwestern border of the Ming Dynasty, it is natural to use the military to promote the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Shouren didn't care to wipe off the blood on his face, but he didn't see any trace of Annan King Li Sicheng, so he led his men to occupy the treasure house of the palace.
In the face of the final stubborn resistance, the Ming army did not need to pay attention to the regulations that horses are not allowed to ride in the palace, but another killing started here.
"We surrender!"
The only remaining guards in the palace threw down their weapons and surrendered to the invincible Ming army.
Wang Shouren quickly took control of this palace, but many times things will not go smoothly, but some unsatisfactory things will inevitably occur.
"Major General, King Annan has escaped!" A thousand households had searched the entire palace, but ran back to report helplessly.
Wang Shouren frowned involuntarily, but he knew that this was not a good result.
This time, Ming Dynasty intends to overthrow Annan's regime, so as to foster a new royal family that is pro-Ming.It's just that if Li Sicheng escapes, there is no guarantee that he will make a comeback one day, which will affect Daming's layout of Annan.
In the west of the city, a disguised team is hurrying out of the city.
Li Sicheng was sitting in a carriage. When he learned that the city was broken, he had already forgotten his vow to live and die with Shenglong City, and he wanted to lead his troops to flee to save his life.
Now that Tokyo has been occupied by the Ming army, he decided to flee to Hue City in Xijing.
As long as he can escape to Xijing smoothly, then he can gather all his subordinates in the name of the emperor of the Li Dynasty, and use the remaining strength to deal with the Ming army.
Although the Ming army is very powerful, but now that it has reached the hinterland of Annan, its supplies must be more or less affected, which is not conducive to long-term wars.
On the other hand, I am the orthodox dynasty of Annan, as long as I make good use of the offensive of public opinion, then I can force the Ming army away step by step like my ancestors.
At that time, the big deal is to pretend to be soft to the Ming Dynasty, and this land will definitely be continued to be ruled by the Li clan.
Appeal!
The groom saw someone blocking the way ahead, so Dang even tightened the rope and stopped the carriage firmly.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Right Prime Minister Ding Rui had already appeared here, but he stopped Li Sicheng's way and asked with a smile.
Li Sicheng knew that You Xiangguo had betrayed him, and now he still wanted to block his way, so he angrily pulled the curtain of the car and came out to question: "Ding Rui, do you really want to rebel?"
Although he knew that these aristocratic families had different intentions, he never thought that he would be rebelled by Da Ming so easily, and he felt very resentful at this moment.
If they had known this earlier, they should not have sought expansion to the east these years, but had wanted to get rid of all the big families such as the Ruan, Zheng, and Ding families.
"Your Majesty, I just want you to stay, so that I can explain clearly the whole story to the Emperor of Ming!" Although Ding Rui is over fifty years old, he is still very strong, with an amiable smile on his face.
Li Sicheng knew that the matter could not be explained clearly, or that it was impossible for the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to listen to his sophistry, and staying here would only lead to a dead end, so he immediately ordered angrily: "Rebellious minister! Come here, kill this thief!"
Due to the hasty escape this time, he only brought more than 20 palace guards with him this time, but he didn't even bring the concubine and princess with him.It's just that the more than 20 royal palace guards seemed very loyal, and even if they wanted to deal with the dozens of thieves blocking the way in front of them.
"Hehe... If that's the case, then don't blame the minister for being ungrateful!" Ding Rui waved his hand lightly when he saw that Li Sicheng couldn't see the situation clearly.
As a well-known Annan family, although Li Li, who was born in a reckless family, took the lead, his background cannot be underestimated, and naturally he has a large number of followers.
call out!call out!call out!
Unknowingly, countless archers appeared on the roofs on both sides. They had already bent their arrows and set their arrows. With Ding Rui's gesture, they relaxed.
A large number of arrows were shot down from the roof one after another, shooting and killing the more than 20 palace guards indiscriminately.
puff!puff!puff!
The palace guards on the street had no cover, and had nowhere to hide from the arrows that were shot down, but they fell to the ground one after another, and many of the guards were shot directly into hedgehogs.
Li Sicheng found that there were a lot of ambushes on the roofs on both sides, and shrank back into the car very cleverly, but he knew that this time might be more or less ominous.
drive!
After the groom realized the danger, Dang Lian wanted to drive out of the encirclement by force.
puff!
It's just that the carriage had just walked two meters away, when an arrow shot through his neck impartially, the whole person suddenly fell to the other side, and the carriage lost control.
puff!puff!puff!
A group of guards rushed out from behind Ding Rui, facing the palace guards who were already in chaos, they immediately reaped the lives of these guards.
Li Sicheng's carriage was directly intercepted, and Li Sicheng who was hiding in the carriage had nowhere to escape, and was quickly carried out by Ding Rui's son.
"Let go of me! Let go of me!"
Li Sicheng was no longer the high-ranking King Annan, but became a prisoner in the blink of an eye. He struggled continuously, and then begged Ding Rui for mercy: "Ding Xiangguo, as long as you let me go, I can make...you king, How about making the southern region your fief?"
"Your condition is really tempting!" Ding Rui stepped forward and said with a slight smile.
Li Sicheng immediately saw the hope of making a comeback, and hurriedly said: "You are not joking, then..."
puff!
When Ding Rui stepped forward, he stabbed Li Sicheng's body fiercely with a knife.
Li Sicheng took two steps back while clutching his wound, and said with a face full of disbelief: "You...why are you doing this? I... I can make you king!"
"Compared with your deceitful little trick, I believe in the title of King of Beiyue granted to me by Ming Ting. You should go to hell obediently!" Ding Rui said with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking a little smug.
Li Sicheng's body fell heavily to the ground, but he knew that his Li dynasty had come to an end, he really shouldn't provoke the terrifying dynasty next door just for Li Guangdu.
It's just that it's too late, the country his grandfather built will be destroyed in his hands.
After all, luck came to Daming's side. Not only Li Sicheng was killed, but also the prince of the Li Dynasty, Li Jia, was captured, but he controlled the orthodox inheritance of the Li Dynasty in one fell swoop.
The East Army led by Wang Hua successfully took over Shenglong City, and it was Wang Yue who was coming here to pass the news here.
Wang Yue's North Army had just defeated the main force led by Li Renxiao, and when they learned that the East Army had captured Shenglong City and beheaded Annan King Li Sicheng, their morale immediately increased.
Since the main force of the Li Dynasty was defeated, and the three-way army gathered in Thang Long City, the small forces in the entire Annan territory chose to surrender one after another.
The news of capturing Shenglong City and beheading Annan King Li Cheng spread back to the country. This great victory in the first year of Hongzhi brought joy to the whole country.
When the military situation arrived at the palace, Zhu Youtang was also very excited and surprised.
He had thought that it was the Aegis Battalion who made the first contribution, and that it was Wang Yue who led his troops to capture Shenglong City, but he never thought that it was Wang Hua's East Army who took the lead in capturing the city and killing Annan King Li Sicheng.
Getting rid of the Li Dynasty now undoubtedly opened the window for Ming to enter the Indochina Peninsula, and it was another step forward for Ming to become the world's textile center.
In the next half a month, the regime of the Le Dynasty underwent a change.
After all, the Le Dynasty was an agricultural society. Although years of wars had expanded the territory of the Le Dynasty, this was based on the fact that the people were burdened with heavier taxes.
Now that the Ming army has captured the Le Dynasty, it has not aroused much resistance in the country. On the contrary, many people hope that the new regime can follow the light taxation policy of the Ming Dynasty.
Although there are inevitably remnants of the Le Dynasty in various places, many local governments have chosen to cut ties with the Le Dynasty, including Hue City, which has chosen to belong to the new regime.
In the new regime, Ding Rui will be the king of North Vietnam, but Zheng Gonglu will be the general of North Vietnam, and Daming will build a wharf and a new city at the mouth of the sea.
The territory in the northern part of Annan has been redefined. The lost land occupied by the Le Dynasty earlier was assigned to the Namzhang Kingdom of Laos, and the new border between the two countries was redefined.
A month later, the capital offered prisoners.
The long line of prison cars escorted the royal family and generals of the Li Dynasty into Beijing, behind them were boxes of seized gold, silver and jewels. This time, King Annan's treasury belonged to Daming.
"This time I really praised my Ming Dynasty's prestige!"
"Isn't it? It's time to clean up Annan's gang of thieves!"
"If it wasn't for Liu Daxia's group of treacherous ministers to stop them, how could they be so arrogant?"
"Speaking of which, Annan's files haven't been found yet, so Liu Daxia really should be put to death!"
……
When the people in the capital saw the team entering the city, seeing the royal family of the Li family reduced to prisoners and the carts of gold, silver and jewels, they immediately waved their fists proudly.
As for Liu Daxia's group of civil servants who once intended to protect Annan, thinking about the humiliation suffered by the people on the southwest border in recent years, they wished to get rid of it quickly.
Zhu Youtang handed over the matter to the Ministry of Rites, and was not keen on this mere formal activity of presenting captives. He seemed to be more pragmatic in dealing with the prince of the Li Dynasty and rewarding meritorious deeds.
The prince of the Li Dynasty, Li Jia, escaped death and will be imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The reason why he chose to keep the prince of the Li Dynasty alive was more out of a political need.
This move can not only make the Annan Li family have no undisputed legal successor, but also be a trump card to threaten Ding Rui and Zheng Gonglu, thus helping to protect Daming's interests in Annan.
It is worth mentioning that, at the invitation of civil and military officials, Wang Hua, who had the most meritorious service, was conferred the title of Uncle Xinjian, becoming the third civil servant of the Ming Dynasty to be ennobled for military merit.
