Officials in the Ideological and Political Palace know this well...
Yu Yang was establishing his power. After the emperor died, all the veterans who had made meritorious military exploits were executed, and the crown prince went to Qinghua, Xijing. In the entire imperial city, no one had a higher status than Yang.
Some officials began to suspect the truth behind His Majesty's death, but at this time, no one dared to speak out their suspicions.
The entire country began to spiral out of control.
After Yu Yang "collected" the opinions of many officials, he ordered the soldiers in front of the palace to start leaving the palace to clear out the unruly people who entered the city.
But it is easy to put them in, but it is difficult to drive them out again.
Some of these refugees ran away when they saw the soldiers, and some occupied the magpie's nest and never appeared on the streets again.
The palace guards, soldiers of the Wuying Guards, and government officials from various government offices were all sent out to drive them away, and violent incidents occurred frequently...
At this time, Ding Lie rushed to Tokyo's Shenglong City with five thousand soldiers and horses at dawn.
Ding Lie couldn't believe that what he saw was the imperial capital of their country, Dai Viet.
The entire huge city was surrounded by refugee camps. The city walls were already filled with soldiers from the front guard. A general who was born into a poor family ordered his men to bend their bows and draw arrows. The flag of Dai Viet was casually thrown into the city. Under the door......
It is obviously the capital of a country, the central place where the emperor and ministers are all present, but at this time it is desolate and solemn, making people feel the north wind blowing, the trumpets are really desolate, and the killings are mottled with the powerlessness of the setting sun.
The soldiers led by Ding Lie looked at this with horror on their faces. Is this still their home?
The refugees outside the city, whether they were old, weak or young, as long as they could move, all entered the city. Under the city wall, there were many corpses of refugees lying, and some people were leaning on the city wall, breathing heavily, using He looked at Ding Lie and the others with numb eyes. At this time, the lives of these lingering refugees had almost come to an end. They were all about to die. Of course, these officers and soldiers could not bear the slightest fear.
The deputy general next to Ding Lie was also from the Zheng family. He was Zheng Bang's fourth brother, named Zheng Yue. After seeing Ding Lie hesitate, he hurriedly said: "General, it seems that this time we enter Tokyo." The city must be in danger. The general is concerned about the safety of the country and cannot risk entering the city. Our army will capture the city gate first. The last general will lead a hundred soldiers and enter the city to check. If everything is safe, we will report to the general. If there is any If there is a big change, the general can withdraw in time.”
After listening to Zheng Yue's words, Ding Lie sighed. The current chaos was obviously the product of fierce competition in the city.
"No need to go, let's retreat." Ding Lie said slowly.
"General, our relatives are all in the city. Let the general go take a look." Zheng Yue said softly. He already understood what Ding Lie meant, but he still couldn't accept it. His daughter, his His son and his mother were both in the city. It was already very difficult for him to maintain restraint in these circumstances where life and death were unknown.
Ding Lie looked at Zheng Yue and sighed and said: "There will be chaos in the city. If we win, there will be someone on the city gate to support us at this time, but there is no one to support us now. The palace guards on the city regard us as enemies. We have already lost in Tokyo City, and now we can only return to the south bank of the Beijiang River. Before the Hunjun's will reaches the south bank, we can gather our troops and have a chance to turn defeat into victory."
"At this time, I can't take risks, and you can't take risks either. As long as we have military power, Hunjun will be cautious when doing things, and he will forgive our family a little, but if we also die, Hunjun They will kill all our clan."
Ding Lie also wanted to enter the city, but the deepest voice in his heart kept reminding him that he could not enter the city.
Once they entered the city and started fighting, the defenses on the south bank of the Beijiang River were immediately empty. There was no one to command and the dragons were leaderless. The Ming army had no opponent when it went south. What's more, they only had 5,000 soldiers. Without the support of the nobles in the city, they could not win at all. Now Going in to take a look and seeing the death of his family members, Zheng Yue, the soldiers he led, and even himself would lose the confidence to fight.
By then, Dai Viet will really be dead...
Some things are much better not to know than to know...
And what Ding Lie said was almost all a disguised form of comfort to Zheng Yue.
Zheng Yue sighed and nodded helplessly.
In the Game of Thrones, those who end up will either die or live in misery. This is an unavoidable fate, and the world can only accept this fate...
Ding Lie chose to retreat...
But on the way, he encountered frontline troops that were defeated one after another, and received news that he couldn't believe.
The Ming army moved south.
First, tens of thousands of Ming troops bypassed the Beijiang garrison area, crossed Beijiang from Shihezi, and then marched for more than thirty miles to occupy Jia Lin. Then the main force of the Ming army moved south. More than 70,000 soldiers, led by Shi Heng, marched in Jia Lin. Lin Jiangan landed.
Then there were battles one after another. Jialin fell, Wuning fell, Beijiang Cilien fell, and the three forward positions guarding Tokyo's Shenglong City were all lost, and the Beijiang natural barrier did not play its role.
Because Ding Lie went south to return to the capital, the three cities almost fought independently and collapsed at the first touch. More than half of the more than 30,000 soldiers were killed or injured.
Then, under the order of Shi Heng, the Ming army launched the largest massacre since entering Annan. Almost all the more than 400,000 people in the three cities, except for some young women, were killed, especially those who resisted. The most serious case is Beijiang Cilian, where the entire city can be said to have no humans or animals left...
After Ding Lie heard the news, his brain became hot and he fell off his horse...
Xi'an Mansion.
Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang once sent Crown Prince Zhu Biao to Xi'an for inspection, hoping to negotiate a move to the capital. However, Zhu Biao contracted a wind disease on the road and died young, which made Zhu Yuanzhang sad. He was so distraught that he never mentioned moving the capital again. ,
Chang'an records the most glorious period of Han civilization, which has passed through the ages. It has also left behind many beautiful poems from poets, including Meng Jiao Dengke's "The sordid past is not enough to boast about, but today's dissolute thoughts have no limit. The spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoof, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day." "Excited and joyful, ecstatic about changing the current situation of poverty and embarrassment, full of confidence in the future, and confident that he can make great strides.
There is also the noble sentiment of caring about the country and the people as expressed by the poet Li Bai, "The clouds can always cover the sun, and the absence of Chang'an makes people sad."
At this time, Xu Youzhen, an important minister of the Ming Dynasty who was sent abroad, arrived at Xi'an Mansion. This was also his first time to Xi'an Mansion.
For this city full of historical vicissitudes, Xu Youzhen did not have much interest in sightseeing. He left Beijing, the core of power, and also left the side of his beloved Emperor. Along the way, Xu Youzhen did not mention anything. A little bit interested......
As usual, he drove directly to the magistrate's office in Xi'an Prefecture in a convoy to symbolically listen to the magistrate's explanation of the new tax system. Then he checked the yellow list and checked it carefully...
After doing all this, when he was about to leave, an uninvited guest came, disrupting Xu Youzhen's next itinerary...
