Chapter 287: The Decisive Battle in Guangxi(1/2)
Chapter 287 Decisive Battle against Guangxi
When the censor Gao Xiang of the Supervisor came to the court in a mourning uniform when Zhu Di summoned him. Zhu Di asked him to take off his mourning uniform, but he refused to follow. Zhu Di immediately broke his teeth, but he still refused.
Zhu Di was so angry that he hanged him to death and skinned him. His relatives and friends were sent to guard the border. Zhu Di also ordered that all the people with the surname Gao in the world increase their taxes, saying: "It will make people from generation to generation scold Gao Xiang."
So at this moment, all the high-ranking people in the world have to pay heavy taxes.
At this time, as soon as the yamen runner left, the storyteller above started talking again.
There was one who just came here today in the audience, and it was strange: "The yamen runners don't care?"
"What a fool, all the people in the world are subject to heavy taxes. The brothers and brothers in the countryside have to pay heavy taxes. Do you think he cares about it?"
Everyone suddenly realized.
Someone immediately talked about this. When the emperor broke Gao Xiang's teeth and peeled his skin, someone immediately scolded in the crowd: "It turns out that King Zhou is reincarnated."
"Shh, don't talk nonsense." There were boos around.
Besides, the tall captain had just left the teahouse, and a follower ran over behind him and whispered: "Head, I heard that Lord Tie was cut off by his nose and then cooked it and then stuffed it to him for food. Is that true?"
Han Guan's confidence suddenly increased greatly and his emotions also rose unprecedentedly.
On June 23, Zhu Neng's troops arrived in Yongzhou along the waterway, transported by hundreds of ships.
So Zhu Gaoxu deliberately let the official army enter Guangxi and destroyed their main force in one battle.
A hundred thousand army came behind Guilin and became a stunning force.
The waterways here are very developed.
On the 25th, Zhu Neng ordered Li Jun to divide his troops into 50,000 troops and stationed in Shangguanyang beside Guanshui. He led 50,000 troops to Lingchuan County.
Now, the first half of this book is about King Wu’s attack on Zhou, and the latter part is about criticizing the mulberry and the locust. No, it should be said that it is a name and accusing King Zhou of Ming Zhu Di of King Zhou of Ming Dynasty as the reincarnation of King Zhou.
Ba, Han Guanhe is a book in front of him.
"How many such books are there on the market?" Han Guan asked a thousand households in front of him.
Because Zhu Gaoxu is known as the army of 300,000 in Guiyang and Guangxi is known as the army of 50,000, Zhu Neng subconsciously feels that Guangxi is easy to fight.
With the manifesto, the deeds of King Zhou of Ming have spread all over the country and all over the Ming Dynasty.
Han Guan glared at him, Qianhu had no choice but to hold his fists: "Now" and turn around and leave.
At that time, Zhu Neng asked Huo Zhen to bring 50,000 pioneers to support Guizhou first.
Hiss, the follower gasped and shook his head: "I heard nothing, I heard nothing."
Han Guan did his own thing and did not take it seriously, because he had tens of thousands of troops in his hand at this time, and the reinforcements from the court were coming from Yongzhou in Huguang.
"The people who read books?" Qianhu asked carefully.
What Han Guan has in hand is adapted and reduced by Zhu Gaoxu.
Yongzhou is in the southwest corner of Huguang, and General Zhu Neng, Pinghanzhong Road, arrived in Changsha on June 20th.
In early July, Xu Zhong brought the last 100,000 to Quanzhou. At this point, all the 350,000 troops gathered by the imperial court in Changsha had been in place, of which 300,000 were invested in Guilin, with a large number of troops, far superior to Guizhou.
At the same time, Wang Zhong was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Guangxi.
Zhu Neng decided to save Guizhou's defeat from Guangxi.
He left Xu Zhong and asked him to wait for the successors to support each time he had enough 10,000 people.
"Hehe" the follower laughed twice and said nothing more.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu had a lot of troops in Guangxi. In addition to bringing 120,000 people in himself, there were more than 30,000 local surrendered troops. Wang Zhong brought more than 10,000 from Guangdong, and the total number reached 170,000.
This book looks very new, obviously it was just published and was not well-made. It is the Song and Yuan dynasties "Wu King attacking Zhou", with full name "Quan Xiang Wu King attacking Zhou Ping Dian", also known as "New Quan Xiang Ping Dian of King Wu King attacking Zhou Ping Dian", also known as "New Quan Xiang Ping Dian of King Wu King attacking Zhou Ping Dian",
Book of Zhou.
The captain Gao gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, why call him King Zhou of Ming?"
The art of speaking flourished and developed during the Song and Yuan dynasties. Speakers often like to collect magical and weird legends and make a living. King Wu’s attack on King Zhou was a long time ago, and there were mythological elements in history books, and many mythological stories have been circulated since the pre-Qin period.
So it becomes an excellent speech material for speakers.
The captain Gao said coldly: "He is talking about King Wu's attack on Zhou, do you care where did he come from?"
At the end of June, another 100,000 troops entered Guangxi, and the official troops reached 250,000.
"Quanxiang Ping's Book of King Wu's Defeat Zhou", or "Lu Wangxing Zhou", is the upper, middle and lower volumes, which are the old version of the speakers of the Song Dynasty. They were supplemented and revised by the speakers of the Yuan Dynasty. During the Zhizhi period (1321-1323
) was published by the Jian'an Yu family.
Zhu Neng has an army of 350,000. If he doesn't dare to come and fight, he will not be Zhu Neng from Jingnan.
The imperial court prepared about 350,000 troops in Changsha, but these troops rushed from all over the country, and some of them came from the capital, which could not be assembled in a short time.
During the Jingnan Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng fought N battles together. This guy has the same virtue as Tan Yuan, Zhang Yu, etc., that is, there is no routine in fighting, and those who can attack and cannot defend.
Of course, he knew that Zhu Gaoxu's number of troops was nonsense, but after Zhu Gaoxu captured Nanning Prefecture, he stationed his troops on the front line of Liuzhou Prefecture and did not attack Guilin again. This made Zhu Neng believe that the rebels were not strong enough to attack the city.
"Investigate, send someone to investigate immediately. If you catch one, you will confiscate one." Han Guan said angrily.
Due to this reason, not long after Zhu Neng arrived, he decided to raise an army of 100,000 to support Guangxi.
When fighting near Guilin, the seniors also like to lead troops to garrison here, with mountains and water, which is very conducive to defense.
Guangxi Commander's Office.
Early in the morning of the 12th, Zhu Gaoxu stood in full arms halfway up the mountain of Taihe Mountain and looked into the distance.
On the other hand, there is no mountain on the back of the official army, so they have to consider whether the anti-rebel army will go around behind their farts to beat them, so the direction of defense needs to be more than the anti-rebel army.
Zhu Nengdao, the rebels are in Guizhou, so let’s fight first.
At the same time, in early July, Zhu Neng had already learned that Guizhou was defeated, and Huo Zhen brought 50,000 remaining troops to retreat to Yuanzhou.
The key is that Zhu Gaoxu's war is different from the Jingnan period back then. If it were Jingnan, the official army would often gather 500,000 or 600,000 troops, and the Yan army would also wait for them and then have a final battle.
Moreover, after Zhu Gaoxu fought, he could easily control his territory. In the future, it would be even more difficult for the official army to fight back.
Qianhu was stunned for a moment, afraid that this was not going to make things worse: "Governor thinks twice---"
However, his position is very good, just on the west side of Taihe River, and has always been a place that military strategists must fight for.
At this time, the Romance of the Conquest of Gods had not yet been born, so Zhu Gaoxu replaced him with King Wu to defeat Zhou.
At this time, the Guangxi official army plus Han Guan's troops had about 150,000 troops.
The north is the direction of the official army, so if the official army wants to attack the rebel army, they can only resist head-on.
Taihe Mountain is only three or four hundred meters tall, with a circumference of about five miles at the bottom. It is very inconspicuous among the mountains in Guangxi.
Zhu Gaoxu came up and divided his troops to attack various places. If Zhu Neng waited for the 350,000 troops to gather and set out before setting off, it would probably be gone in Guizhou and Guangxi.
So Zhu Neng decided to defeat Guangxi first and then support Guizhou.
When Zhu Neng arrived in Changsha, only 150,000 troops gathered in Changsha, and subsequent troops were still gathering one after another.
On the 24th, Zhu Neng's army of 100,000 entered Guangxi and arrived in Quanzhou.
On July 10, in addition to the more than 10,000 troops left by Guilin, Zhu Neng gathered 340,000 troops, claiming to be 500,000, and headed south in a mighty manner, vowing to fight the rebels to Guangxi.
Under such a formation, the back (south) of the anti-rebel army is Taihe Mountain and the east is Taihe River, so you only need to defend the west wing and the north.
Taihe Mountain is located on the west side of Taihe River, north of Liuzhou Prefecture, and is quite close to Guilin.
Zhu Neng didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to give him such a long time.
The next day, the Guangxi Dusi arrested several scholars who circulated King Wu's book to attack King Zhou, and ignored the pleading of the Guangxi governor and killed him at the street corner. For a moment, the people in Guilin City were in anger and scolded the court everywhere and scolded Zhou of Ming Dynasty.
king.
Xu Zhong asked at the time, why don’t you support Guizhou first and destroy Guizhou all the way?
Such generals cannot survive in history for three episodes.
As for whether the official army will come to attack, Zhu Gaoxu never doubted it.
On the 12th, Zhu Neng received news that the main force of the rebels had been stationed on Taihe Mountain, waiting for them.
Zhu Gaoxu arrived at Taihe Mountain first on the 11th, and immediately organized the construction of fortifications. Most of the 170,000 army was backed by the foot of the mountain and set up formations from west to east.
After entering Guangxi, in addition to Guilin, he was also in the hands of the government army, and gradually occupied all other prefectures in Guangxi. Then he established a new Guangxi Chengxuan in Xunzhou Prefecture, executed local administrative orders, and appointed his own three
Officer.
"All of them are scholars." Qianhu whispered.
"When I go back to the governor, there are everywhere, and many people are circulating it privately."
Huguang was one of the important granaries of the Ming Dynasty, and the waterways were crisscrossed. If Zhu Gaoxu could not defeat the main force of the official army in Huguang, the official army could delay time in Huguang with the navy.
While preparing for war, he controlled Guangxi while waiting for the main force of the official army to enter.
"Closed it first, then talk about it." Han Guan said.
He thought for a while and said sternly: "Look for a few people who took the lead and beheaded in the downtown city."
However, he certainly did not expect that while he decided to send troops to Guangxi, Xue Lu also left Guiyang and went to fight with Sheng Yong in a field.
