Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"My lord, it's not good for you to do this!" Nanyang magistrate stood on the tower of Fucheng, and said helplessly to Tang Wang Zhu Yujian.

We already know that since King Ning rebelled during the Zhengde period, the vassal kings and their families of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to leave the city of their own vassals.The primary responsibility of the magistrates in the city is also to guard the vassal and his family.

But there is a customary rule here. It is okay for those feudal kings to go to the city wall where they are located to see the scenery, but what do they want to do when they go to the city wall?Then it will be blocked.

"Why? For the sake of the great Ming Dynasty, what's wrong with this king? Has this king left the city?" Tang Wang Zhu Yujian replied without showing any weakness.

When he learned that Nanyang Fucheng was in danger again, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian resolutely took out the food and silver from the palace, and recruited soldiers in the Fucheng to prepare to defend the city.Because there were many Nanyang refugees hiding in the city, King Tang successfully recruited more than 800 people. With the guards of the palace, King Tang had more than 1000 soldiers.

In this regard, the prefect of Nanyang is happy to see the success. Now in order to keep the city intact, it would be good to have more strength.Although King Tang's recruitment was somewhat illegal, as long as those soldiers were active in the city, and the recruited soldiers were dispersed as soon as possible after Nanyang Fucheng was safe, there would be no sequelae.

When Zhang Xianzhong's partial division rushed to Fucheng, because it was just a feint to cover Zhang Xianzhong's main force passing through Nanyang and entering Huguang smoothly, this partial division was a little loose.Seeing that the Ming army in the city did not dare to go out of the city, they boldly went to the houses around the Fucheng to search for the property in the houses.

Seeing that the peasant army outside the city was so exhausted and unprepared to fight at all, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, who went to the tower to observe the enemy's situation, was tempted. He proposed to the prefect of Nanyang and General Sun Weisun: Go out of the city to fight the peasants The army was caught off guard.

The peasant army has come and gone so many times in Nanyang Mansion.The prefect of Nanyang and Sun Wei, who had passed through Fucheng several times, were also scared out of their wits.Of course they didn't dare to go out of the city, so they politely rejected Zhu Yujian with the reason that "it is difficult to attack with few soldiers!"

So Zhu Yujian took advantage of the situation and proposed to let the soldiers he recruited go out to fight in the city. Anyway, in case of defeat, the loss would not be the Ming army that originally defended the city.Regarding this, Sun Wei was noncommittal, and although the Nanyang prefect had some objections, he couldn't give any reason for his objection, because after all, the Ming army in the city did not dare to attack!

Just like that, the [-] elites who were carefully selected went out of the city to attack under the leadership of the head of the palace guards.The sneak attack went well.Because Tang Wang is good at martial arts, his guards are not guards of honor like the guards of other vassal kings, but are physically strong and have real talents.

But during the battle, King Tang was so excited that he yelled on the city wall, commanding his sneak attacking troops.This made the prefect of Nanyang a little nervous.Because watching the battle on the tower and commanding from the tower are completely two concepts.However, under Zhu Yujian's strong words, Nanyang magistrate still opened his eyes and closed his eyes.

The indulgence of the prefect of Nanyang and Sun Wei.But it laid a foreshadowing for Tang Wang Zhu Yujian's future behavior.Because the rules are broken the first time.That will definitely break the second one.But this also happened a few months later, so I won't mention it for now.

Zhu Yujian, king of the Tang Dynasty, went out of the city to sneak attack this time. Judging from the results of the battle, it was not very big. It only killed and wounded hundreds of peasant soldiers.However, the attacked peasant army fled Nanyang Fucheng in a panic.After all, they came to feint, so after being attacked.Thinking that his intentions had been seen through by the Ming army, he hurriedly withdrew his troops to prevent the Ming army in Nanyang Prefecture from making a massive attack.

After that, there was a dazzling performance by the Peasant Army.

Let me talk about Zhang Xianzhong's department first.After he discovered the movements of the Ming army in Nanyang Fucheng, he didn't dare to go south into Huguang rashly, and turned to the northeast.Pushed into Ruzhou City again.And this change of direction first caught Lu Xiangsheng and Zu Kuanbu who were chasing after him by surprise, and immediately turned around and came in pursuit.Hearing that Ruzhou City was in danger, Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army rushed back to Ruzhou. Even the Zhou Xun Department in Ye County brought He Fei's rotation training regiment and Xue Yong's Nanyang army who had been prepared for a long time. The army left Ye County and drove to Ruzhou City for rescue. It can be said that the Ming army in the southwest of Henan was completely mobilized.

Seeing that the Ming army was mobilized, Zhang Xianzhong's troops immediately turned to the northwest again, entered Henan Mansion, and approached behind Zuo Liangyu's troops.Seeing that the crisis in Ruzhou City was lifted, the Runing Army led by Zhou Xun temporarily stopped their operations, but Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army rushed back to Ruzhou City, fearing that their hometown would be lost.

In fact, the peasant army on the border of Henan has already divided its troops.Laohui returned to Ma Shouying's department and returned to Shaanxi immediately after joining Gao Yingxiang's department, leaving only Gao Yingxiang's department to attract the attention of the Ming army.

After Ma Shouying returned to Shaanxi, he united with the [-]th Battalion of the Peasant Army that remained in Shaanxi, went out of Tongguan and marched east, and suddenly appeared in Henan.After learning of this situation, Lu Xiangsheng and Zu Kuanbu immediately turned back again, trying to stop the peasant army.Zhou Xun's Runing Army also immediately returned to Ye County to prevent the peasant army from entering the Runing Army's control area after breaking through Lu Xiangsheng and Zu Kuan's troops.

However, Li Zicheng's tribe, who had stayed in Shaanxi, was entangled with Hong Chengchou's tribe who had left. They fought against Weinan and Lintong, and crossed Huayin Nanyuan Jueling in the east, and left Zhuyangguan.Gathered by Li Zicheng, Gao Yingxiang broke into Henan again.

But such a transfer made Zuo Liangyu's troops immediately become a lone army, and he would face the attack of the three strongest peasant armies.So in Minxiang, Henan, a great battle began.

But before introducing this great battle, let us first look at the actions of the two Ming armies.After Yu Zilian's Ruzhou army rushed back to Ruzhou, they only rested for one day before following Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

As for Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng, who have been watching from the wall, they first wanted to rush to rescue Nanyang City, but they heard that Ruzhou City was in danger, so they rushed to Ruzhou City; The crisis in Ruzhou City was lifted, and a large number of peasant troops came in from the direction of Tongguan, and they rushed to Tongguan again.It really feels like fighting a war like Tetris.

But after walking for another day, an order came from Governor Lu Xiangsheng, asking them to rescue Zuo Liangyu.In fact, Lu Xiangsheng had already discovered the danger of Zuo Liangyu from the development of the battle situation, but his Tianxiong Army and Zu Kuan's Liao Army wanted to block Ma Shouying's [-]th Battalion heading for Huguang.So at this time, we can only mobilize the nearest Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng's departments.

Of course Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng didn't dare to disobey the order, but at this moment, they had already turned into angry birds. (to be continued..)
