soldier rushing forward

Zhu Di believed Hu Da, and issued an imperial decree, ordering Nie Cong to send Chen Tianping back home.But Zhu Di was still a little worried, Nie Cong went, what if Hu Da regretted it.So he ordered Zhengnan deputy generals Huang Zhong, Lu Yi, and Dali Qing Xue Yan to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to escort them.

A team of 5000 people walked on the narrow mountain roads in the south of the Five Ridges, which is considered mighty.The time is March of 1406.Why March?

According to Annan's geographical location, this month is the time period with the least rainy season.Otherwise, after April, every day is either cloudy or rainy and foggy.Coupled with the inaccessibility, rugged roads, wormwood and jungle entanglement, it is difficult for northerners to adapt.Therefore, the team of the Ming Dynasty will complete the task of sending people away in this March.

As soon as the brigade passed Zhennan Pass, they entered the boundary of Annan.When he arrived at Qiu Wen's place, Hu Da sent his minister Huang Huiqing and others to greet him with presents.

The attitude of the visitor was very respectful, and there was wine and meat to comfort him. The Ming army was very happy.Heh, people in heaven still have face, but in this place, there are still people who take care of food and drink.Up and down a smiley face.

After Huang Huiqing and the others rewarded the Ming army with wine and meat, they rushed to see Chen Tianping again.Before and after they came to Chen Tianping, they kowtowed and talked sweetly, showing 120 points of sincerity.This painful performance really moved all the people present.

Annan's performance was good, but Huang Zhong still had doubts about why Hu Da didn't come.

This lieutenant general Huang Zhong was really honest, he didn't spy in private, but directly asked Huang Huiqing, "Why didn't Hu Da come to greet him in person?"

Huang Zhong was right to ask, because Huang Zhong brought the imperial decree, and his arrival was equivalent to Zhu Di's arrival in person.The emperor is here, and you, a fake King Annan, are not present. Isn't this a light king?Since you dare to belittle the emperor, you don't want to submit. If you don't surrender, wouldn't you still have ambition?

Huang Zhong had this idea, but it was only on the outside, showing his displeasure.

Huang Huiqing hurriedly explained, "Heaven is coming, why didn't King Annan come. He came, but because his family members were sick, he couldn't come here, but he was already waiting at the Jialin River in front, and was preparing to come. Use a grand scene to welcome the arrival of the army of the kingdom of heaven."

After hearing Huang Huiqing's explanation, Huang Zhong's anger disappeared.However, he was still worried.Because Jialinjiang is the place where Li Ji lives, it can also be said to be his hometown.To say that he was waiting there is to say that he has not moved.Now in the past, it is hard to tell if it is not a tiger's den or a wolf's den.

Huang Zhong said to Huang Huiqing, "I'll wait here, you go and tell Hu Da to come here quickly to meet him.

This Huang Zhong said whether he was smart or not, and whether he was stupid or not.Call him stupid!But he knew to send spies to investigate.

As soon as Huang Huiqing left, Huang Zhong sent a sentry cavalry to follow behind, wanting to check whether what Huang Huiqing said was true.

After the cavalry sentry followed all the way, they saw people standing on both sides of the road carrying pots and pulp, and no matter how they looked at it, they were signs of coming to welcome the Ming army.The scout didn't see the problem, so he happily ran back and told Huang Zhongyi what he saw.

Huang Zhong really believed it, I am a soldier of the Celestial Dynasty, even if you, Hu Da, don't have the guts to do bad things.So he gave the order to send the team to move on.

Under the leadership of Annan's guide, the five thousand soldiers and horses passed through the two passes of Ailiu, Danan Pass, Zhenguan, and Munan Pass (now the Friendship Pass).The further you go, the more steep the mountain road is, and the dense forest is so dense that even people can't walk.In this situation, it is impossible to ride horses, wield swords and guns, and line up in queues.So Huang Zhong ordered some people to open the way in front, and the people behind to rest in place.

Those who opened the way slashed with machetes, and the people behind saw that it was impossible to open a new road in a short time, so the large group of people rested in the woods and grass.

Suddenly, there was heavy rain in the sky without a sound.

After being drenched by the heavy rain, the team became confused and hid in Tibet.

Some people are busy setting up tents, some are busy looking for rocks, as long as there are people who can hide from the rain.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they have lost their armor and armor.

Huang Zhong also hid in the tents set up by the soldiers to avoid the heavy rain.

At this moment, there were shouts of killing everywhere in the mountains and forests.

When the Ming army was still at a loss, those Annan people appeared from nowhere.One by one, like monkeys in the rain, they flew over various obstacles and ran desperately towards Huang Zhong's tent.As Annan's army rushed forward, there were people beating drums to cheer.

The sound of the rain hitting the leaves, coupled with the sudden appearance of war drums, really frightened these Ming officers and soldiers into a daze.

Because I was not prepared at all, I had to fight in a hurry.

These Annan people who rushed out of the woods threw javelins and fired bamboo arrows at the Ming army.After a short time, most of the five thousand soldiers and horses were lost.

At this time, Chen Tianping was with Nie Cong, not in Huang Zhong's team.

Huang Zhong also ignored them and was busy organizing people to resist.

These Annan people saw that they could not overcome Huang Zhong's Chinese army, so they surrounded them, blocked the road, broke the bridge, and separated Chen Tianping from Huang Zhong.

Taking advantage of the confusion, several guides who came to lead the way turned around and became assassins.

Several people couldn't help but jump up to Chen Tianping, raised their knives and slashed at Chen Tianping's body.Seeing that the situation was not good, Nie Cong hurriedly brought someone forward to rescue him.

The Annan people who came from the field also arrived.

Many Annan people surrounded Nie Cong and Chen Tianping. After a fierce attack, Chen Tianping was hacked to death, and Nie Cong and the guards around him were also killed by the Annan people.

After the Annan people killed Chen Tianping, seeing that they had achieved their goal, they withdrew to the middle of the mountain and shouted at Huang Chongke, "We don't dare to fight against the soldiers and horses of the Celestial Dynasty. Chen Tianping is a villain. It is not a descendant of the Chen family who dared to pretend to be a relative of the Chen family. Today, he has the honor to execute him to thank the Jiaozhi fathers and fellow villagers. Our king will immediately send someone to the court to plead guilty. The imperial army came from afar, and An Nanguo The supplies are poor, not enough for the commander of the army to station him, please go back!"

The words are too simple, oh, kill everyone, and still want to write a letter to plead guilty.

Huang Zhong was in a hurry at that time, and wanted to stop the army, but there was no way.I still want to plead guilty to the emperor, but I can't even pass this test.Give me an order, kill me.

When Huang Zhong learned that Nie Cong was also killed by the Annan people, he decided to use troops against Annan.

After the scuffle just now, there were not many of the five thousand soldiers left.Now if you want to fight with the Annan people, the chances of winning are really hard to say.

These 5000 people walked all the way, and were attacked again, not to mention the jungle they were least familiar with.Not to mention looking for enemies, even playing with the obstacles in front of him, he didn't know what to do.

But for the face of the court, Huang Zhong decided to defeat the Annan people first.

When Huang Zhong gathered the remaining people together, he realized that there were only a hundred people left.How can you beat such a small number of people?Out of impatience, Huang Zhong had no choice but to strike back and take these people back to Nanjing.

Huang Zhong returned to the court and told all about the Annan people's rebellion. Zhu Di was furious when he stared, "It's not bad. A little Annan wants to rebel and anger Tianwei. There is only one way to die. Come on." People, bring Cheng Guogong here."

As soon as Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng arrived, Zhu Di said to him, "The little devils in Annan dare to bully me. If this kind of traitor is not eradicated, what use is the army."

Zhu Neng nodded and said, "What the emperor said is very true, this thief is the most evil, if it is not eliminated, the world will not tolerate it. The ministers and others rely on the power of heaven, and ask the emperor to send troops to wipe out this thief in one fell swoop."

When Zhu Neng said so cooperatively, Zhu Di became more determined to destroy Annan.

Zhu Di ordered someone to issue an imperial edict to draw up a list of teachers.

There is also a need for an explanation for the expedition.After the article is finished, quickly prepare for the military.First, he ordered Mu Sheng, Marquis of Xiping, who was guarding Yunnan, to dispatch troops to lead a team to the south, and then dispatched [-] troops from Shu to reinforce them.

After doing this, Zhu Di felt uneasy, because he felt that Huang Zhong and Lu Yi were at a disadvantage in escorting them. Not only did they lose Chen Tianping, they also lost so many soldiers. The role of the police.Therefore, he summoned the two of them to the capital again and gave them the most severe punishment.

As for the punishment, the history books did not say.Analyzing it, it might be the cruelest form of circumcision!

With less determination, I began to plan the issue of sending troops.After deliberation, Zhu Di decided to attack Annan from Guangxi and Yunnan.

Along the way, Zhu Neng was the general, Xibo Hou Mu Sheng, and Qin Cheng Hou Zhang Fu were the left and right deputy generals, and 25 more generals with combat experience were sent to form the East Route Army to lead the two capital areas, plus Jing, Hu, and Zhang Fu. The armies of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangxi marched from Pingxiang, Guangxi.On the other side, Chen Rui, Lu Wang and others led by Deputy General Zuo and General Zuo Shen led troops from Bashu, Jianchang, Yunnan, and Guizhou to form the West Route Army, starting from Mengzi, Yunnan.

At this time, let's go back and look at the offensive route of the self-defense counterattack in [-]. How similar the history is.The Chinese People's Liberation Army also adopted a two-way counterattack strategy to enter Vietnam.Therefore, "no one can step into a river at different times", but they can make the same decision at different times.

Since Jing Nan, the Ming army has not used troops against the small countries of the Fan Gang for a long time.If you want to use it, you have to win a battle.So Zhu Di attaches great importance to it.

On the day the army set off, Zhu Di personally came to see him off.After some activities of offering sacrifices to the gods, Zhu Di also said the most important words, which can be regarded as a set of accounts for the generals who went on the expedition.

Zhu Di said, "The Li thief, father and son, must be captured alive and executed, so that those who follow him will disperse and flee." Enemies: Do not destroy cups and fertile land; Do not collect money and goods at will; Do not plunder other people's wives and children; Do not kill prisoners;If someone violates one of the above, even if they are meritorious, they cannot be forgiven.Look, what Zhu Di said is similar to our three major disciplines and eight points of attention today.It turns out that the leaders of the country have such long-term wisdom and can always look at problems from a high-level perspective.As for Zhu Di's leadership ability, I plan to make a special discussion in "The Undefeated Four Dynasties".

Finally, Zhu Di emphasized that once Li thief and his son were captured, he could immediately select the more wise person among the descendants of the Chen family and let him govern one side.

From Zhu Di's words, we can draw such a conclusion.The Ming Dynasty sent troops only to rescue the Chen family who had been seized from power.From any point of view, it seems that the adults are the ones who support the children.Since you are my vassal state and my vassal, of course I have to be in charge.Help you when you are in trouble.I sent troops not to completely occupy your land, as long as you are obedient, continue to be your king.

Why did we fight Vietnam in [-]? Wasn’t it because the guns were too fierce and harassed and destroyed our country’s border too seriously? Isn’t that why they pushed us to that point?Shi can bear it, who can't bear it.I really couldn't bear it, so I took this trick.

Sun Tzu said: Soldiers are the great affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, which must be investigated.If they hadn't been forced to rush, no one would use troops casually.However, there are not no benefits beyond the limit, those are militarists, or hegemony.

Historically, Zhu Di was not.There are so many things to do in the newly built Yongle Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.Just a few Mongolian tribes in the north is enough for him to be busy, and he has no intention of rectifying Annan.Isn't this why Li Ji was forced to this point?

In modern times, [-] was the new era of China's reform and opening up, and everything was waiting to be done.If it weren't for Little Vietnam clamoring to dominate Asia and keep belittling China.China will not use force against them either.Even if they use force, it is just to teach them to fall down in pain, without the slightest intention of encroaching on them.

However, to this day, some people still regard that period of history as aggression, and their starting point is really wrong and wrong.He also copied some allusions that happened in history.If this history is clarified, I believe they will have a new perspective.

As soon as the army arrived in Longzhou, Zhu Neng died of illness.

It so happened that this Zhu Di watched the sky in the capital, and said to the ministers, "The Western Expedition Army is worrying, and Zhu Neng himself will not be spared."

Not long after Zhu Di said this, someone from the border came to report that Zhu Neng had died of illness.

Although Zhu Di guessed it, he was still quite surprised.In grief, he appointed Zhang Fu as a general to replace Zhu Neng in commanding the army.

Zhang Fu was the son of General Zhang Yu when Zhu Di was in the battle of Jingnan.Just in response to that sentence, the door is out of the tiger's mouth, which is not false at all.

After Zhang Fu took over the command, he led the army to start from Pingxiang, pass through Chenglei Pavilion, and approach Ailiu and Jiling Pass.

After the Annan defenders saw the arrival of the Ming army, they still wanted to use the old method to reinforce the city wall with stones, dig traps on the narrow roads, bury bamboo sticks, and prepare to defend to the death.

At this time, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were number one in the world.Firearms and artillery were used to the extreme.With such a good weapon, Zhang Fu would not use people to fight.

With an order, more than a dozen cannons lined up and blasted fiercely at Ailiu Pass.

The Annan people, who grew up in a wild land, used long-term weapons, mostly spears made of bamboo, and there were not many spears with iron tips, let alone these muskets and cannons.

As soon as the cannon rang, Annan's army who closed the Ailiu Pass was frightened and fled in all directions.

As soon as the artillery strike was over, the Ming army with muskets charged again.Annan's army who did not escape all died under the gun.

The disparity in combat effectiveness quickly determined the outcome.

If the pass is left for a while, Jiling Pass will be captured soon without any effort.

At this time, Zhang Fu thought, Huang Zhong also led a team of 5000 people, how could he be beaten like that by the Annan people before the First World War.Not only did he lose his troops, but he even lost his own life.It seems that weapons are not the main thing, but people are still playing a role.

After winning two levels, Zhang Fu was not in a hurry to attack the interior of Annan.He wanted to use psychological tactics first to make the Annan people surrender, so that the casualties of the soldiers would be reduced.

In addition, after passing the two passes, the road to Annan is basically sandwiched between the two mountains.In such a dangerous place, no matter how fierce the firepower of the Ming army is, it is difficult to play a role.These Annan people who are monkeys, just go to the deep grass or the jungle, where else do you want to find people.No matter how powerful the cannon is, it can't hit people!Therefore, Zhang Fu obeyed Zhu Di's warning, never greedy for meritorious deeds.

After Zhang Fu tied up the army at the two passes, he began to send people to spread the list to Annan, counting Li Ji's [-] crimes, and at the same time informed the people of Annan, expressing the court's intention to make the descendants of the Chen family king.

Zhang Fu believes that as long as such an announcement is sent to Annan, those who are inclined to the Chen Dynasty will not support it.Unless, the Chen family's popularity is too poor, their virtues are not good, and they have not left a good impression on the people.

After the propaganda work was done, Zhang Fu led the army to move on.

The vanguard sent by Zhang Fu came back after scouting the road ahead and reported that the road ahead was steep and Annan's soldiers were going to ambush them in the two mountains.
