"kill!"

At the foot of Taiyuan City, Mo Jingyu led his troops to attack the city.

Eight thousand standing troops and more than ten thousand civilians and warriors attacked the city with only five hundred defenders.

After fighting, the city gate was opened, but there was someone inside the city.

Taiyuan was an important military town in North Vietnam. The Mo family attacked here many times, but only succeeded twice. One of them went directly to Thang Long, the capital of Annan, but was quickly killed back in the ravine by Zheng.

This time, in order to deal with the Datong Army, Zheng Jie took away the Taiyuan defenders and immediately gave Mo Jingyu a chance.

Taiyuan's commander-in-chief died in battle, and deputy commander-in-chief Pan Chunzhi was the younger brother of Pan Chunfu, who killed pigs and sheep to welcome the king's division.

Mo Jingyu seized the city with the help of Neiying and personally interrogated Pan Chunzhi: "Why are there only these few hundred Taiyuan defenders left?"

"Bah! Dog thief!"

Pan Chunzhi spat out.

This is not how strong Pan Chunzhi is. If he is captured by the Datong Army, he will probably surrender.

But Mo Jingyu was different. The Mo family's regime represented the interests of the Vietnamese gentry.

Pan Chunzhi, on the other hand, came from a Huan-ai family, that is, the gentry group of Thanh Hoa and Nghe An.

The two gentry groups have been in conflict for thousands of years. If one faction gains power, it will inevitably suppress the other faction, and there is almost no possibility of compromise.

If we use religion as a metaphor, for Pan Chunzhi, the foreign Datong Army is a heretic, while Mo Jingyu is a heretic. You can cooperate with heretics, but you can never give the heretics a good look!

Mo Jingyu was spit on his face, and he was so angry that he drew his sword and chopped Pan Chunzhi, and asked: "Who knows what happened to Shenglong Mansion? If no one answers, I will kill five of them with one stick of incense until I Until you finish killing them!"

After watching most of the incense sticks, a captured official finally said: "Han soldiers attacked Thanh Hoa from the sea, Your Highness... Zheng has sent troops to fight the Han army."

"The Han army sent troops to Qinghua?"

Mo Jingyu was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "God is helping me! This Zheng family thief will die if he does too many unjust things. He dared to swallow up the Mu Family Village, and he really thought he could hide it from the Chinese Emperor. ? Empty the Taiyuan treasury and follow me to kill Shenglong Mansion!"

Mujiaxun Village, which was swallowed up by Annan, is right next door to Mo Jingyu's territory.

Before the decisive battle between Zheng Zha and Li Dingguo, Mo Jingyu broke through Taiyuan City and went straight to Shenglong Mansion, the capital of Annan.

Instead of encountering resistance along the way, the soldiers fought more and more. A large number of northern gentry took the initiative to recruit local warriors to fight with Mo Jingyu.

These northern gentry were severely oppressed by the southern gentry, and they were always looking forward to the return of the Mo family. The farmers in the north, who were often exploited, simply rebelled with the landlords.

When Mo Jingyu arrived at Shenglong Mansion, his strength had grown to 30,000!

Mo Jingyu issued a message on the way. The slogan was: expel the false king, slaughter the Zheng family, revive the Li Dynasty, and treat the gentry well.

Of course, he was only kind to the northern gentry, including those around Sheng Long Mansion.

The gentry of Thang Long House had the worst life.

Because they were located near the capital, the Zheng family rewarded them with land, often enclosures here. Beijing officials who were born as gentry in the south also liked to buy land near the capital, and the land area occupied by northern landlords continued to shrink.

On the second day after Mo Jingyu besieged Shenglong Mansion, local gentry also came to help. You have a few dozen, I have a hundred, both of them have their own country courage.

The officials in the city of Shenglong Prefecture were already anxious. Zheng Zhi had emptied the treasury of food, and there were not many troops left to defend the city. They could only organize officials and civilians to defend the city.

"Empress, go quickly!"

Li Fan knew Zheng Rongfu and rushed into the palace with his slaves, anxiously looking for the Supreme Queen Zheng Yuzhu.

Zheng Yuzhu asked: "Can't you hold on?"

"Without soldiers in the city, how can we defend it?" Zheng Rongfu asked anxiously, "When the rebels fill up the moat, Shenglong Mansion will inevitably fall. If we don't leave, it will be too late!"

Zheng Yuzhu immediately asked the palace maid to pack up her luggage and get on the boat, planning to take a boat overnight to find Zheng Zhi.

There was too much commotion in the palace, and the ships on the pier were also commandeered. How could they hide it from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?

The Supreme Queen was about to run away, so naturally they did not dare to stay, so the drama of stealing the ship quickly unfolded.

Even Mo Jingyu outside the moat was alerted, and he sent people to the lower reaches of the Red River to intercept in advance.

After nightfall, a large number of nobles and officials fled.

The same scene happened decades ago. It was Mo who took advantage of the situation and fought his way back to Shenglong Mansion. All the noble officials in the city scrambled to escape, and all those who did not escape were killed by Mo.

At night, six or seven miles downstream of the Red River.

The fleeing fleet, headed by the Empress Dowager Zheng Yuzhu, arrived here with gold and silver. Suddenly, the ambush troops on both sides of the river came out and fired arrows towards the river.

Immediately afterwards, lights also lit up in the river.

Mo's troops set up small boats, some even riding bamboo rafts, and rowed over to surround the fleeing fleet.

"Leave no men alive, kill them all!"

Mo Jingyu's son was named Mo Jingrui. Historically, he joined the Manchus and changed his name to Mo Yuanqing.

This guy is only more than ten years old and is responsible for leading the troops to intercept and kill.

Moreover, it was extremely murderous and wanted to kill all the southern gentry. If it weren't for the rebellion of these southern gentry, his Mo family would still be ruling the entire Annan, and both the Zheng family and Ruan family's territory would belong to his Mo family.

In the early morning, all the goods on the ship were seized by Mo Jingrui, and the female dependents of the gentry and nobles were escorted ashore one by one.

Mo Jingrui asked: "Is the fake Emperor Li's concubine here?"

"Your Highness, those are the concubines of the false emperor." The general under his command pointed at more than fifty women and said.

Mo Jingrui asked in confusion: "Why are there still older people?"

The general explained: "The concubines of the two false emperors are here."

Mo Jingrui thought for a while and said with a smile: "If you don't want the old ones, give them to the soldiers. If you are young, take them back to Shenglong Mansion!"

In fact, they are not particularly old. The oldest concubine of Emperor Li Shenzong is only in her fifties, and the youngest is only in her twenties.

Mo Jingrui boarded the boat that Zheng Yuzhu was on. There was blood everywhere on the boat. It took a long time to clean but it was not clean.

The guy didn't mind it either, so he ordered the fleet to return to Thang Long Palace and entered the cabin with Li Zhenzong's queen in his arms.

As for the generals under his command, they also followed suit. Each of them was assigned Li Shenzong's concubine, and they couldn't wait to play with each other on other ships. It doesn't matter if you are older, these are the women of Emperor Li, and their unattainable status is enough to excite them.

Even Zheng Yuzhu, who was almost fifty years old, was dragged into the cabin by an officer.

The Mo family regime is not a good thing either. Although it is hiding in the ravine, it has always been extravagant and extravagant. We have to raise troops, build palaces, and even overhaul temples. Almost every ten years, the people will rebel.

While Mo Jingrui was sleeping with the queen in the cabin, his father Mo Jingyu had already captured Shenglong Mansion.

The officials and nobles have all fled, so why are the soldiers still guarding the city?

Mo Jingyu rode a war horse through the doorway and ordered the people around him: "This capital belongs to us, no looting is allowed. Except for the southerners (southern gentry), as long as they speak with a southern accent, all the males will be killed, and the females will be rewarded." Soldiers!"

With this order, everything went into chaos.

These soldiers were like bandits, and at first they were careful to distinguish their accents. Keep killing, no matter where you are from, when you see the mansion, rush in.

He was even afraid that someone would sue him later. While robbing the property, he also killed everyone in the house, leaving only the beautiful young women alive.

The entire Shenglong Mansion was killed like hell.

…

"Boom boom boom!"

In the direction of Lang Son, the Datong Army was shelling Guancheng.

During the Zhu Di period, Zhang Fu led his troops to conquer Annan, all following this path.

The first time he went on an expedition was when Prince Chen of Annan State came to China to join the imperial court. Li pretended to invite him to return to his country for restoration, and Zhu Di sent 5,000 soldiers to escort him. Unexpectedly, Li was so bold that he ambushed the Ming army and not only killed the prince of Chen Dynasty, but also killed the deputy envoy of the Ming Dynasty to Annan (the retired Minister of Dali Temple).

In less than a month, Zhang Fu cleared the Yuebei checkpoint and reached the Taiping River in two months. This had already penetrated Sheng Long Mansion, and Annan's monarchs and ministers abandoned the capital and fled, not even daring to take the land route, and fled to the sea before giving up.

Annan Kingdom thus became Cochin Province, and it took more than two months from the war to the destruction of the country.

Moreover, at that time Zhennanguan was in the hands of Annan and was called Jilinguan. Before Jiling Pass, Zhang Fu also captured Aiyi Pass. The attack on these two great passes also counts within those two months.

The remaining three expeditions were all to quell the Cochin rebellion.

At this moment, Liu Xinyu and Ding Jiasheng had also broken through two passes, both of which were built after the restoration of Annan.

Lang Son City was the third level they attacked.

Just when the defenders were about to be unable to withstand the bombardment, a fast horse came from the south. When they entered Guancheng, they shouted: "Mo family sent troops to seize Shenglong Mansion!"

The defenders were shocked.

The deputy general of Lang Son had already blocked the ball in the previous pass. At this moment, the general of Lang Son, Tao Zhongren, was defending.

Tao Zhongren grabbed the messenger by the collar and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The messenger said with a tearful tone: "The Mo family has really sent out troops, and Shenglong Mansion has fallen."

Tao Zhongren was stunned on the spot. Suddenly the sound of cannons sounded again. He woke up and gritted his teeth and said: "Kaicheng surrenders and welcomes the heavenly soldiers!"

Soon, the city gate opened.

Liu Xinyu didn't believe it and said: "The enemy troops defended the two Guancheng cities very stubbornly. Even the deputy commander-in-chief fought to death. Why did they suddenly surrender?"

Ding Jiasheng said: "Either something happened in the enemy's rear, or the general of Lang Son is greedy for life and afraid of death."

While these two men were still talking, Tao Zhongren had already taken off his armor, led his troops out of the city and knelt outside, and at the same time sent someone to invite the Datong army to enter the city.

Liu Xinyu came with his troops and asked, "Why did you surrender suddenly?"

Tao Zhongren said: "The rebel Mo family has captured Shenglong Mansion and will surely kill countless people. General, please send troops quickly to rescue the people."

"Mo's family?" Ding Jiasheng also came over, "This guy is very well-informed, and he actually took advantage of the opportunity to capture Shenglong Mansion. This man governs the people cruelly, and in the past few years, many Yue people have fled over the mountains and ridges to Guangxi to seek survival. He If we capture Shenglong Mansion, we may really plunder the city."

Along the way to the Guangxi Datong Army, the enemy suddenly changed. Mo Jingyu would not hand over Shenglong Mansion easily, and there would definitely be a fight when the time came.
