After the arrival of spring, the imperial army finally fought a battle with the Shunde army.
This was almost a decisive battle that could determine the direction of the entire campaign, but the process was lackluster. , well-equipped, but the Shunde army, which was composed of grassroots and captured farmers, did not have the courage to fight a decisive battle with the official army.
After experiencing several incidents of betrayal by leading officers, King Ning no longer trusted his generals, but instead used his own heirs, honored guests and relatives as leading officers.
However, these military leaders were not good at commanding operations.
On such a large-scale battlefield, these generals were all in confusion and did not know how to command.
The result of the war was that not long after the two sides fought, the Shunde army was defeated, and King Ning's flag was blown off by the wind.
The Shunde army inexplicably began to rebel, disintegrate, and finally fled.
A battle that was supposed to be vigorous ended in a hasty manner, and even Emperor Zhengde would regret not being able to enjoy it to the fullest.
The Shunde Army was completely defeated, and the imperial army seized countless military supplies.
The remnants of the Shunde Army fled all the way and entered Nanchang to defend themselves.
As the place where King Ning established his vassal, Nanchang was considered a fortress built with his hard work.
In addition, he had advanced firearms for defense, so it was not an easy city to conquer.
Wang Shouren had led troops to attack Nanchang before, but it only diverted the energy of King Ning's troops and failed to successfully break the city.
Therefore, everyone generally believes that the siege of Nanchang by the imperial army will be a protracted strategic battle.
Others calculated based on intelligence that Nanchang's grain reserves could last for more than half a year.
No one thought that the imperial court could capture Nanchang until the ammunition and grain were exhausted.
There was a special Ji Shan in Zhu Houcong's mansion, that is, teachers who taught the crown prince.
These people were all well-educated Confucian scholars and knowledgeable people.
According to their analysis, this war will last for several months or even a year.
From the extreme point of view, they even think that Nanchang can be defended for about two years.
However, Yang Chengzu was the only one who opposed this.
He firmly believed that this battle would not last too long, and one month was already the limit of the battle.
Because the prince was close to him, he would come here almost every day in the past half a year to discuss many issues with Yang Chengzu.
This kind of communication became more and more like a relationship between learning and teaching.
Ji Shan, who was originally responsible for teaching, was naturally dissatisfied with Yang Chengzu who came out to mislead his students.
Therefore, the direction of this battle has become a contest between the two.
Who is ignorant and incompetent?
This incident can be used as a touchstone.
Yang Chengzu was a well-known scribe in Anlu, so there would be no idiots coming to challenge him.
The game was not played to determine who was more educated and who was more suitable to teach the prince.
Ji Shan and others could not even complain to the princess, but could only file some complaints to Yuan Zonggao.
Next, they hoped that the prince would really understand who is the real knowledgeable person on some issues.
Zhu Houcong originally supported Ji Shan's statement that Nanchang had been run by King Ning for many generations and could be regarded as the basic foundation of Ning Fan.
It is said that after the incident, many small fortresses were built outside Nanchang City to protect the main city.
They can be said to be impregnable copper and iron walls.
Furthermore, Ning Fan's army has exquisite firearms made by skilled craftsmen.
In previous battles, these firearms have caused a lot of trouble for the army.
In this kind of defensive battle, these firearms will inevitably play a huge role.
Maybe every inch of land has to be exchanged for human lives.
How can such a battle be fought in a short time?
Yang Chengzu read aloud the Tang newspaper in his hand.
The news on it was that the army had swept away all the fortresses outside Nanchang City and had completely uprooted them.
The rebel army was beheaded and captured countless people.
The official army was about to launch an attack on Nanchang.
It was expected that they would be able to break through and destroy this imperial army.

Due to the impact of the war, the entire Jiangnan trade route was blocked.
It was difficult to transport raw silk, grain, tea, and timber from Huguang.
It was also difficult for goods from other provinces to enter Huguang.
As a result, prices in Huguang have skyrocketed.
Everyone is suffering from the war and hopes that the war will end soon.
As soon as they heard the news, all the officers were very happy.
Someone said: "This battle will be over soon.
As long as the war is over, our life in Anlu will be easier, and our business will be better."
Zhu Houcong, Lu Bingze and Yang Chengzu walked into the study room inside.
In the past six months, they have had long conversations, or lectures, in this room almost every day.
At the beginning, Yang Chengzu just expressed his own opinions, but later, he instilled his ideas into these two people every day, and then it was up to them to decide whether to listen or not.
He has never thought about transforming anyone's ideas, or changing someone's cognition.
The body of an ancient person is the head of a modern person.
All he wanted was to have more and more influence in the prince's heart, so that he could occupy an important position in the prince's heart in the future, become a successful person, and have a better background.
As Zhengde's attack on King Ning came to an end, this need became more urgent.
He had an intuition that Zhengde's life was running out, and the day when Prince Xing's son would soar into the sky was not far away.
The people in the Yiwei Department have long been accustomed to this kind of teaching.
Although they don't know who Jiang Dalang is, they probably think he is a relative of the princess.
When the rebel army surrounded the palace, Jiang Dalang and Lu Bing led a few people and broke Jiang Guodong's legs.
They looked really fierce.
Through that incident, everyone also knew that he was Lu Bing's good friend and Yang Chengzu's little follower.
These two people had a good relationship, and it was normal to say something together.
These officers didn't quite understand what they were saying, or they were not in the mood to listen, so no one participated.
Just tea and snacks were delivered as usual, and a few plates of fruit were cut and brought over, and then everyone went about their own business.
Yang Chengzu pointed at the fruits and vegetables, "Let's just eat it.
There's no ice.
It's good for us Yiwei to have fresh food to eat.
We don't dare to use the Wangfu's hidden ice, so don't think it tastes bad.
I made that ice cream last time.
"You like to eat, don't you?
Let's get some ice out later and make it for you.
What we are going to talk about today is probably the battle in Nanchang."
Zhu Houcong nodded, "Yes, I have always felt that that battle would take several years anyway.
Nanchang City has high walls and thick walls, and there are so many sharp firearms.
When our palace faced those insurgents last year, such an unfavorable situation could be overcome If we continue to fight for a few days, we may not be able to defend it.
But why are there so many bunkers outside Nanchang that are lost so easily and have no effect at all, and they are taken out by the army?
I want to hear the reason. ” Although he was a prince, Zhu Houcong behaved like an ordinary naughty kid at this time, his eyes full of curiosity.
To him, Yang Chengzu's iron-spoken divine judgment was almost like Zhuge Liang, and he naturally became his idol.
Therefore, he wanted to hear Yang Chengzu analyze the battle situation so that he could understand how such an impregnable fortress could be cleared so quickly.
Yang Chengzu smiled, grabbed a piece of melon, put it in his mouth, and said while chewing: "This is actually not difficult to think about, but do you want to hear this today or the Three Kingdoms?
You can only listen to one, not the other.
"I've finished analyzing this, and you're asking me to tell you a story.
There are still hundreds of newly recruited soldiers waiting to be trained, so it won't take that much effort."
Zhu Houcong did not give in at all, "I want to listen to your analysis of the situation and your story.
If you don't do it, I will tell my sister.
