In October of the 16th year of Jingxi, General Xiyu, who had high hopes from Xia Ting, visited Wangxiang Pavilion (a place name belonging to Hongshi County. It was the only way for the filial and honest people from the south to go to Beijing to take the exam, so it was named " Named after "fish leaping over the dragon's gate, looking back home" (meaning "turning one's head to look home"), he defeated the Quzhou refugee army at a small cost of losing three hundred cavalry in three battles! And his great victory also alleviated the Xia army's deteriorating situation on the Zhongzhou battlefield to a great extent!
In November of the 16th year of Jingxi, Xiyu Chaoyong, who had no time to return to Anyang for rest, marched non-stop with his 3,000 horse army, 20,000 infantry (composed of the Haonu army, the remnants of the Chenzhou garrison, and a small number of Anyang troops). (comprised of city defenders) headed north and began to actively look for opportunities to fight against the refugee army...
At the end of November of the 16th year of Jingxi's reign, the two countries in Ming and Xia, which had lost a large number of elite troops, began a truce due to the arrival of cold winter. During this period, the two sides got rid of the entanglement with each other in a tacit understanding and withdrew their occupation in an orderly manner. Area for rest! They will take advantage of this long winter to lick their wounds, and then accumulate strength to face another war in the coming spring!
And taking advantage of this precious opportunity, Xiyu Chaoyong, Chen Qingzhi, and Qiu Shenji (who commanded the Sili local garrison with the titles of General Zhonglang of the Forbidden Army and Guardian of Qingzhou), these three Qingtianyu who supported the Xia army to continue fighting. Zhu, they set up three strong villages in Hongshi County, Chaoyang County, and Huaiyun County. They wanted to rely on the strong camps to resist the Ming Dynasty that would come back next spring.
…
In the first month of the seventeenth year of Jingxi (the sixth year of Yongwei in the Ming Dynasty), the newly trained Ming army of the Ten Guards in Sujing was appointed as the new Zhuzhou capital commander, Longshan Bohong Jianbin (son of Ming Xunchen Hong Yushan, who was officially worshiped as the commander of the Lizhou capital). ), it took just three months to cross the Chuandu Mountain (a big mountain outside Zhuzhou. Its existence completely separated Lizhou and Zhuzhou, making the traffic between the two states very complicated. Difficulties), arrived in Jianchuan County, the easternmost city in Zhuzhou, in April! Facing the menacing enemy, the Xia army, which had been at peace for a long time, had no resistance at all. A few hundred Ming troops could often defeat the Xia army that was several times their size, and then easily capture the city where they were stationed!
Therefore, when the Xia Dynasty nobles in Anyang City received the news of the attack on Zhuzhou, Hong Jianbin, who had taken the wrong approach, had even led his army to capture Chuandu City, the capital of Zhuzhou. And the capture of Sichuandu meant that the entire Half of Zhuzhou has fallen into the control of the Ming army!
Lizhou, Leizhou, Fengzhou, Yunzhou, Baizhou, Liuzhou, Zhuzhou. Since the third year of Xia Sizong and Jingxi, with the increase of Ming people in various places, more and more states and counties have fallen into their hands. !In just fourteen years, the Great Xia Dynasty actually lost seven states in the south. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that these seven states were the seven states with the most abundant products in the Great Xia Dynasty. Without them, repeated battles would be impossible. Xia Ting, who has suffered repeated defeats, even maintains the status quo has become a problem!
----------Dividing line--------------
Without taxation, there is no money, and without money, Xia Ting could not organize effective forces to help the states. Therefore, the emerging Ming Dynasty took advantage of this God-given opportunity like a fish in water and desperately expanded the territory of the empire!
In the sixth year of Yongwei (the seventeenth year of Jingxi), the Ming Dynasty, which once again expanded its army, sent out the new general Qian Yun (the one who led the army to attack Leizhou, he has now been promoted to the commander of the capital and the first-class Yunqiwei) and his subordinates Ten thousand troops, and this time their destination is the western barrier of Anyang City-Zezhou!
Fight, fight, still fight! The seventeenth year of Jingxi was an extremely bad year. Wars were going on in Zhongzhou, Liuzhou, Zhuzhou, Zezhou, Chenzhou, Quzhou, Qingzhou and even Fujian. Many states and counties in Daxia were at war. The Ming army was fighting against the Xia army. Yes, there are Xia troops against the refugees, and there are even Ming troops against the refugees!
Yes, it was the Ming army against the refugees! Sir, you may not think that Xia Ting classified both the Ming army and the refugees as enemies, but in general, there is still a difference between the Ming army and the refugees! Because what the Ming army wants is land, people's hearts, and even the whole world! The refugees are different. All they need is simple revenge. They want to overthrow all the unfairness they have encountered in the past through killing!
Killing the nobles and landowners and robbing them of their food, money and women is the ruthless response of the honest and responsible refugees to the ruling class! In order to unite the landowners and small nobles everywhere and reduce the resistance to their own advance, the Ming army will instinctively suppress the refugee armies that are raging everywhere. Therefore, a war between the Ming army and the refugees will be inevitable!
------------Dividing line------------
Since the war has come to this point, and if nothing unexpected happens, the one who has the last laugh will definitely be the Ming Dynasty from another time and space! But God doesn't want what people want. He doesn't want such a wonderful battle for hegemony to end here! Therefore, Daxia's last hope, the aristocratic sorcerers group who have lived in Xia Jing for a long time, is dispatched!
The abilities possessed by these aristocratic warlocks, who have at least the rank of baron, can be said to be astonishing. Skills such as water, fire, earth, wood, thunder and lightning, huge strength, and swiftness are not uncommon. What is truly surprising is that some of them have , can actually control corpses, animals, and weapons to fight for them!
As a result, a large number of Ming army and refugee generals were assassinated by the attacking warlock nobles! This situation also directly caused the various Ming armies and refugees to stop their fierce offensives. Therefore, it can be said that the noble warlocks bought the last, precious breathing time for the waning Great Xia Dynasty!
But they didn't get what they deserved!
Xia Sizong tried his best to delay the overthrow of the dynasty by raising taxes, training new troops, and uniting the nobles. However, he did not reward those warlocks who had titles and made outstanding military exploits. He believed that these were what the nobles of the empire should do. And this, of course, caused dissatisfaction and disgust from those warlock masters! At the same time, his opponents, the Ming army under Ming Xingzu and the refugee army under Wang Niu Mo, the leader of the refugee army, were also seizing the opportunity to bribe and divide these dissatisfied warlock masters.
Those who are willing to join the Ming Army will be promoted to the next level and receive a reward of one thousand taels; while those who are willing to serve the refugees will be directly named the leader of the team and will be rewarded with five thousand taels of platinum! The prices offered by the Ming Army and the Refugee Army are quite generous and attractive! Therefore, under the temptation of high-ranking officials, generous salaries, beauties and gold, some of the warlock nobles who felt unfairly betrayed Xia Ting and defected to the Ming army and the refugee army!
Then, after a short rest and all having warlocks, the three parties continued to fight! In the end, we waited until Ming Yizong who recruited more musketeers and light cavalry (Emperor Yongwei passed away in the 19th year of Xiangguo Zuo), and the crown prince of Daxing sent Liu Wenxiong, Hong Yushan, Lan Shaoqun, Xu Yuan and others to Gu Ming After the throne with the help of veteran ministers, the situation became clear again: the refugee army split into several groups after the death of the leader Wang Niu Mo, and each of them fought separately. One of the larger refugee armies was defeated by the leader Qi Wen Shirong surrendered to the Ming court under the leadership of the Ming Dynasty, while the remaining troops who did not want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty were gradually defeated under the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army, Xia army, and landlord regiments, and slowly disappeared in the long river of history!
On the other hand, the Xia Dynasty, which lost a large amount of southern territory, was not much stronger than the refugee army. In the thirty-first year of Jingxi, Sizong died, and the Xia court was in chaos. Ministers and nobles argued with the heirs of the dynasty for their own interests. endlessly! Under this situation, the huge Xia Dynasty was split into two countries by two forces that could not agree on, which were called "Northern Xia" and "Southern Xia" in later history books.
There is a saying that goes well, things in the world are 'strong when united, weak when divided'. Only when all the forces of a country are united can it be unshakable, but not vice versa! Therefore, it is precisely because of ignorance of this way that in the sixth year of Hongxi, Southern Xia, which was governed by civil servants, was surrounded by the powerful Ming army in the capital city of Anyang, and even the emperor was coerced to lose his imperial title and change it to the title of leader. The lord of the country who means to be a vassal!
However, even so, a few years later, the small court of Nanxia, which had always been respectful to the Ming court, was inevitably destined to collapse in the end! Therefore, under the advice of the ministers and nobles who fled from Anyang City, Emperor Xia Mo (the emperor of Northern Xia, the third son of Xia Sizong) quickly moved the capital to Qujun (the prefecture of Quzhou), intending to avoid the aggressive Ming army. Bingfeng...
However, it is obvious that the Ming court does not intend to let go of the remnants of the previous dynasty, so the war between Ming and Xia is still continuing...
Note: Qiu Shenji, courtesy name Boxiong, is one of the five captains of the Xiyuan School of the Forbidden Army and the son of Qiu Yuanhui, the captain of the Yue Cavalry School. He liked to read poetry and books since he was a child. He was once elected as filial and honest by the clan; when he grew up, he was light on wealth. He is a good man, good at being a knight, and is quite popular among the officials and gentry of Zhongzhou and among the people!
In the first year of Xia Xizong's reign in Nancheng (the 19th year of Taiping), the 23-year-old Qiu Shenji inherited the title of Guanglanglang from his father. Now he is an honorary platoon leader, squad leader and other low-level officers), he got an official position as deputy leader in the Xiyuan Army (equivalent to the role of the Xia Ting City Guards), and then he has been working hard in the Anyang City Guards, not making any progress... …
And this embarrassing situation of being neither up nor down did not change until Nancheng ruled the country for four years! In September of that year, the emperor was seriously ill, so he sent Su Wei (yes, the later prime minister of the Jingxi Dynasty and his relatives) who was a close official of the emperor and a member of the province under the throne to Leizhou to declare an edict to the king of Leicheng County (son of Xizong), and ordered He went to Beijing to inherit the throne! As for Qiu Shenji, the leader of the Qiu Brigade, he happened to be selected by Su Wei and Su Chengxuan, and he became his disciple and became a hundred-man general in his entourage, commanding a hundred people!
Later, the trusted Qiu Shenji, a thousand-man general of the Forbidden Army, was appointed as the new minister of Daxia, Zuo Shenyan (a provincial official under the sect, who mainly advises the emperor), the right minister of the Ministry of War, and Su Wei, the Marquis of Xinyi. Intermediate positions such as Paijun, garrison envoy, and garrison envoy! In the third year of Daxing, he even participated in the war to quell the rebellion of King Li. In the end, he was recalled to the capital by Xia Ting as an official for his outstanding military exploits!
In the ninth year of Daxing, Qiu Shenji, Colonel Qiu, was promoted to the rank of Youlang General of the Forbidden Army. He was awarded the title of Wu Xingbo and officially became an important backbone of the Suwei Party! Afterwards, civil upheavals occurred one after another in the Jingxi Dynasty, and some rebels took advantage of the situation to raise their flags. As the Prime Minister's party, and one of the few remaining generals in the court, Qiu Shenji was ordered to face the crisis, and banned the Youlang General of the army, and Wu Yi, a doctor (honored officer) (the same honorary title as Guanglanglang), Wu Xingbo took command and commanded the imperial army. The Sili army went south to rescue Chen Qingzhi, the Duke of Chen, who was stationed in the Liyuan camp.
Later, a civil war broke out between the royal family and eight aristocratic families. Qiu Shenji was ordered to guard the Sili area while resisting the attacks of the Ming army, refugees, and even the Zhonghuang Army (an army loyal to the royal family). He never lost a battle for more than ten consecutive battles! Therefore, after the royal family made peace with the aristocratic family, Qiu Shenji was promoted to Guanglu Shaoqing, Zuolang General of the Forbidden Army, martial arts doctor, and Wuxinghou with his undefeated record, and was in charge of all the Xia troops in the Sili area.
