Chapter 681: Arrogant Ming Army


After the slaughter of Shannan City, all the counties under the jurisdiction of Shannan Prefecture were shocked by the atrocities of the Ming army, and local officials sent troops to restrain the territory and not allow vendetta against the Han people.

In this regard, the Ming army happily accepted it, in addition to money and grain, it also asked the counties in Annan to provide 500 to 1,000 young and strong laborers for the Ming to employ.

The employment period is three years, and the wages will be settled to make the people return to their hometowns, and Daming will ensure the personal safety of the hired Annan workers.

At the same time, the Ming army also put forward the condition that in view of the large-scale massacre of innocent Han people in Annan in the previous formation, in order to prevent this incident from happening again, the local Han settlement should set up a security team, and select Han people to be given weapons to protect themselves.

The expenses for the supply of money and food for the Han security forces should be the responsibility of the Annam Prefecture as a punishment.

If it is just to give money and food, the Ming army still needs people, and even more excessively, it has to arm the Han people, and this condition is not to lose power and humiliate the country and bury a catastrophe.

The officials of Annam in Shannan counties are not stupid, of course, they know that the Ming army is not well-intentioned.

Therefore, only 3 of the 9 counties that sent people to negotiate agreed to the Ming army's request with their noses, and the rest either angrily accused or did not say a word.

As a result, in just a few days, the Ming army broke two more cities, and all the cities of Shannan Mansion were slaughtered.

As a result, the local officials in Annan, who had been waiting for the central reinforcements to fail and were unable to defend their homes and the country, once again sent people to the Ming army garrison with a large amount of wine and food to reward the army, and then they signed their own treaties.

These treaties were collectively called the Dizi Treaty by the Ming Army, that is, the treaties not signed by the Zheng Central Committee, and did not have legal rationality, but the Ming Dynasty paid attention to etiquette and letters, and in order to avoid further casualties among the military and civilians of the two countries, the Annan region that signed the Dizi Treaty was treated equally.

With the "cooperation" of the local officials of Annan in Shannan counties, the feat of large-scale resistance of the Annan people against the invading army was suppressed, and countless young and strong men were tied up by Annan officers and soldiers with ropes and sent to the camp of the Ming army under the weeping of their families.

Because of the support of the Ming army, the Han people in Shannan also formed security teams one after another, on the one hand, to protect themselves, and on the other hand, they cooperated with the Ming army and the official army of Annam to suppress the resistance of the Annamite people in the territory.

When the territory of Shannan was not completely pacified, Niu Gensheng led his troops to invade Thanh Hoa.

Due to the intensification of the trend of slaughtering the Han in the southern Hejing, which has spread to the northern provinces, the Han people in Annam have organized to rebel against the Annan government in order to protect themselves, and asked the Ming army to help.

In Hejing alone, more than 20,000 Han Chinese gathered together to beg the Ming army for help with ordnance.

In Qinghua Mansion, thousands of Han people Pang Bingdra captured the county seat and responded to the Ming army.

For the resistance forces of the Han people in various places, Zhao Ziqiang issued an order that all ministries must unconditionally support and assist, and if they are willing to generalize, they will be reorganized into the Taiping Army, and those who are unwilling to be summarized will be issued to the captured Annan ordnance, so that they can have the power to protect themselves, and sweep and exterminate the large and small Annan resistance organizations in the occupied areas for the Ming army.

As for the Annan localities that are willing to spend money to eliminate disasters, they will follow the Shannan example.

On the fourth day of the seventh month, the 12th town captured Thanh Hoa Pinghu City and launched the Battle of Thanh Hoa.

Li Huacheng, the defender of Thanh Hoa town of Zheng clan of Annam, was killed in battle, under the coercion of the Ming army to slaughter the city, the commander of Thanh Hoa surrendered to Zheng De Kaecheng, so far, the capitals of Shannan and Thanh Hoa were occupied by the Ming army, and the communication between Thang Long Province and the south was cut off by the Ming army.

After that, the naval division Zheng Chengkui entered the Jinluo River again, with 43 warships, 3,000 sailors, 600 army and more than 4,000 Han rebels in Annam, preparing to cut off the Red River, the main inland transportation artery of Annam.

On July 9, the Ming army launched the Battle of Deqing, which was stubbornly resisted by the Zheng army of Annam, and captured Deqing after being killed and wounded by one person.

After receiving 1,000 sailors reinforced by Haiyang Water Village and 600 troops urgently transferred from the Eleventh Town, Zhou Shengbu of the North Road began to march to Quang Ninh.

The Ming army dismantled a large number of naval guns and brought them to the shore, and broke through the defense line of the Zheng army in Guangning with powerful firepower, and the morale of the army was greatly increased, and the arrogance was very arrogant, shouting "go down to Guangning first, then go down to Taiyuan, and take Thang Long directly" Although the Han Chinese in Quang Ninh were not slaughtered by the Zheng army, they also rose up to follow the example of the south, or organized armed forces to resist the Annam government, or defected to the Ming army, or acted as guides, or provided money and food.

Li Ziyuan, the guard of Zheng's Guangning town, was born as a civilian official, and he was afraid of the battle, and when he saw that the Ming army was attacking again, and broke through the defense line of the Zheng army at once, he was so frightened that he couldn't stop in the town guard mansion, and what he did every day was to constantly send people to Beijing to try to be able to transfer from Guangning.

Li Ziyuan was incompetent, and the commander of the general Min Wenlian took over the command of the soldiers and horses of Guangning with the support of his subordinates, and deployed two defense lines in the east and west for the Ming army's offensive route, of which the west defense line was based on Anzi Mountain, which was the most dangerous.

Anzi Mountain, located in the south of Quang Ninh Fucheng 60 miles, 852 meters above sea level, because of the dangerous terrain, it has been a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.

After the Ming army broke through the defense line of the Zheng army, the commander Zhou Sheng's arrogant troops attacked Guangning in two ways.

The east road points directly to Quang Ninh, and the west road detours to Xian'an and Haitun.

On the 28th, the Ming army captured Xian'an, and Anzishan became the last barrier to defend Guangning.

In order to prevent the Ming army from advancing to Quang Ninh, Min Wenlian personally led his troops to hold Anzi Mountain.

He convened a military meeting and asked all the troops of the Zheng army's northern front to concentrate on attacking the Ming army's transportation line from Xian'an to Anzishan, and after interrupting the Ming army's transportation line, the Ming army attacking Anzishan was surrounded here.

However, due to the successive defeats on the battlefield of the East Road, many Zheng generals were afraid of war, and only Min Wenlian was the one who really fought the battle, and the troops he could actually command were less than 5,000 people, among whom they had to divide their troops to hold the defense line of the East Road.

On July 2, the Ming army took the lead in attacking Chengxian Pass in the south of Anzi Mountain, and Zheng general Wu Yinglin resisted to the death with less than 1,000 men and repelled the Ming army's attack twice.

However, the attacking Ming army still rushed through the Zheng army's defense line under the cover of the Ministry of Fire, and in order to avoid the annihilation of the whole army, Wu Yinglin led his troops to break through the siege and Chengxian Pass fell.

After the Ming army captured Chengxian Pass, they rested for a while, and then began to storm Anzi Mountain, and Min Wenlian's defenders in Anzi Mountain were less than 2,000 people.

On the 5th, 800 sailors, 500 army and 2,000 Han soldiers of the Ming army drove more than 700 Annan troops to launch a tentative attack on Anzi Mountain under the leadership of Wang Guoming, a general of the naval division.

In order to confuse the Ming army, Min Wenlian skillfully used suspicious tactics to arrange thousands of flags in the mountains and forests, arrange many war drums and horns, and mobilize nearby people to come to help in the war.

When the local people heard the news, they enthusiastically signed up, and thousands of people gathered in an instant.

After the arrogant Ming army launched a charge, it was immediately attacked by the artillery of the Zheng army, which prevented the Ming army from advancing and suffered heavy casualties.

Subsequently, the Ming army once again concentrated its forces in a vain attempt to seize the artillery position of the Zheng army, but an open space in front of the position made the Ming army have nowhere to hide, and the Ming soldiers suffered heavy casualties again under the strong fire of the Zheng army.

At this time, the war drums and horns hidden in the surroundings were beating together, and seeing the flags flying in the mountains and forests, and there were many people, Wang Guoming, the commander of the Ming army, found that the momentum was not good, so he had to lead the team to flee down the mountain.

Seeing the situation, Min Wenlian commanded the troops to pursue the victory, and the nearby people also flocked to the Ming army one after another.

The Ming army fled back to Chengxian Pass in embarrassment, and Wang Guoming asked the commander Zhou Sheng to send a large force to reinforce it, but at this time, the main force of the Ming army stationed in Xian'an City was attacked by Annan Yiyong, and the transportation line was cut off, and there were no troops to send.

Wang Guoming had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat at Chengxian Pass to hold on to Zheng Jun.

Min Wenlian, whose morale was greatly boosted, decided to recapture Chengxian Pass, and on the evening of the 7th, heavy rain fell in the Anzi Mountains, and the Ming army thought that the Zheng army would not launch an attack in such weather.

However, Min Wenlian personally led more than 300 cavalry and more than 100 elephant soldiers to raid the Ming army camp, taking the unsuspecting Ming army by surprise.

When Min Wenlian rushed into the command tent of the Ming army, the officers were shocked when they saw the Zheng army that suddenly entered, Min Wenlian rode on a horse, and the saber in her right hand took advantage of the momentum to cut down a Ming army officer, and this person was Wang Guoming, the commander of An Zishan of the Ming army.

The main general was killed in battle, and the rest of the Ming army was not supported, and they abandoned the pass and fled.

Subsequently, Min Wenlian led his troops to pursue, broke the Ming army at Dejiahe, killed hundreds of Ming troops, and completely recovered Chengxian Pass.

This was the first time that the Zheng army had regained lost territory since the start of the Ming-Yue War.

After that, Min Wenlian relied on the favorable terrain and constantly sent troops to fight with the Ming army while holding the position, and finally forced all the Ming troops to retreat to Xian'an City.

After that, until the end of the war, the Ming army on the northern front never took a step beyond Anzi Mountain.

Min Wenlian successfully commanded the Battle of Anzishan when the Zheng army was defeated all the way and the morale of the army was weakened, effectively curbing the attack of the Ming army and striking a blow at its arrogance.

Although this battle failed to turn the overall tide of the war, it was a miracle when the Zheng armies on the southern coast were about to collapse at the touch of a button. oshow7 t1706231537:
