As the capital of the Xia Kingdom for hundreds of years, the Jinling City in front of you has extraordinary feng shui, with bells, dragons, and tigers in the stone city.
The tall city walls stand majestically, majestic and unparalleled in the world, giving people a sense of solidity, solemnity and formidability.
In terms of scale, Jinling City is undoubtedly the best city in the world. No matter whether it is Zhongqing City in Yun State, Shenglong Mansion, or the newly built Jiangling Capital, it is difficult to match it!
Such a majestic city, if there are tens of thousands of elites and enough food, grass and weapons, it will be absolutely difficult to capture without an army of hundreds of thousands.
But it is a pity that now the front lines are all in a hurry and the Xia Kingdom, which has been defeated everywhere, can hardly mobilize even 5,000 troops and horses, let alone tens of thousands of elites.
After General Yun Leyi landed in Wuzhong County, he won consecutive battles in a short period of time and captured twenty-two cities of Xia Kingdom one after another. His invincible power was really frightening.
The civil and military officials who stayed behind in the Xia Kingdom's court lost all their courage, were frightened, and even lost the will to persevere. Before the Yun army's troops arrived at Jinling City, they fled in a hurry from this great city in the world!
So when Le Yi led eight thousand elites who were exhausted from a long-distance attack and arrived, the people of Jinling City were already scattered, the city was empty, and the defense force was useless.
The Xia Kingdom has been defeated in consecutive battles, and the imperial court has repeatedly disappointed everyone in the country. Now even the Yun army has reached the capital, and has finally completely lost popularity.
It can be said that the defenders of Jinling City were almost abandoned. They had no intention of fighting. The first moment they saw the banner of the Yun Army, they immediately surrendered the city and surrendered to the power of the Yun Army.
Le Yi captured this capital of Xia Kingdom, the most powerful city in the world, without spending a single soldier!
Le Yi, who was tall and mighty in appearance, immediately ordered:
"Quickly report to General Zhendong, please send troops to take over Jinling. The Xia Kingdom's court is hunting in the north. It is time to dispatch the elite cavalry to pursue them one after another!"
Le Yi knew that his soldiers would be exhausted and could no longer pursue him.
Moreover, there are many chariots and horses in the Xia Kingdom, so the speed is bound to be slow, but there is no need to rush. It is still too late to wait for Yang Dayan from behind to mobilize elites to come for support!
"I will give my general order again, and each battalion will quickly take over the Jinling arsenal, the city wall defenses, and the Gyeonggi camp. Seal the palace, the Xia Dynasty's government agencies, and all the treasuries. Waiting to be handed over to Your Majesty for disposal by the Central Government!" Le Yi continued.
.
The Jinling Palace of the Xia Kingdom is said to be a majestic palace with incomparable grace and splendor, and contains countless rare treasures. It is difficult to match it among the imperial cities of ancient and modern countries, and it makes people yearn for it!
If Yang Dayan was the first to lead troops into Jinling City at this time, he might have been unable to hold back his curiosity and greed and wanted to go to the palace.
Fortunately, it was Le Yi who led the troops into the city. With his political wisdom, he naturally knew the importance of it and sent people to seal it immediately, waiting for Xiao Cheng's arrival before opening it again.
"As soon as the reward is due, I have already submitted it to Your Majesty. I am waiting for Your Majesty to arrive at Jinling in person, and your military achievements will be rewarded by Your Majesty personally!"
These soldiers under Le Yi fought for a long distance. Although they were exhausted, they captured the enemy's capital with consecutive battles and victories. They were all extremely excited.
Even though they did not receive any training or rewards at this time, they were not dissatisfied at all and immediately responded:
…
"Got the order!"
The Yun army successfully entered the city and took over Jinling City in an orderly manner. Under Le Yi's arrangement, they established a plan to calm the people and restore order. In the city that had gradually become chaotic, some people began to maintain order again. The random rangers who took advantage of the chaos to plunder
, was directly suppressed and killed by the army.
According to the list of officials sent by Zhong Ziguan from Sticking Branch, Yun Jun even quickly found some suitable officials.
Some of these people are spies who have long been developed by the stick, and some are people who are frustrated and resentful in the Xia Dynasty court. Faced with the invitation from the generals of the Yun Army, these people may take office directly without saying anything.
, or give in half-heartedly, pretending to be coy.
After these reluctantly set up a temporary government agency, they began to assist Yun Jun and manage the entire Jinling City.
Jinling City, which had previously been shrouded in war clouds and filled with fear, now really came under the influence of the Yun Army.
Entering the city, it felt like the sky had cleared after the rain. The solemn atmosphere dissipated, making people feel relieved inexplicably.
But just when everything was in order and on track, a burst of urgent shouting suddenly sounded in the city.
"It's on fire!"
"Come quickly and put out the fire!"
Le Yi, who had just settled in the Jinling City Government Office and arranged government and military affairs, suddenly frowned when he heard the shouts coming from outside.
Step out.
Seeing the thick smoke rising not far away, Le Yi immediately asked:
"Let's go and see what's going on. We've obviously sent troops to restore order in the city, so why is it suddenly on fire?"
The soldiers on the side left in a hurry. After a while, they finished inquiring about the news and reported back:
"General, it was not a fire! That was the house of Sikong Meichong, the current dynasty of the Xia Kingdom. He did not follow the Xia Kingdom's court when they fled. After our army entered the city, he dismissed his slaves and took his old wife and only son with him.
, set on fire."
When Le Yi heard this, he was in a trance and his expression was quite complicated.
Sikong Meichong, the old man of the Xia Kingdom, experienced two dynasties and served as an official for decades. He was of high moral character and noble character.
Although he has offended many people due to his implementation of the new salt tax policy in recent years, his reputation in the Xia Kingdom has deteriorated.
But the imperial court of Yun State recognized him as a loyal and good minister of the country. When talking about him, there was much respect in his words!
Hearing that such a character ended with such a tragic ending, Le Yi couldn't help but sigh slightly and said:
"Mei Sikong is one of the best in the world, both in terms of ability and personality. It is particularly regrettable that such a person was buried with the fall of Xia Kingdom!"
"Immediately send someone to collect the remains of Sikong's family. There must be no offense at all!"
"Yes! 59
And Mei Chong's suicide seems to be just the beginning.
In Jinling City, sporadic houses began to burst into flames. Le Yi received many reports, saying that some officials of the Xia Kingdom had committed suicide by throwing themselves into wells or hanging themselves.
The Xia Kingdom has been inherited for more than six hundred years. Although people are now in mourning, there are still some foolish and loyal people who are willing to be buried with them.
Le Yi sighed quietly at first, but later, he became silent.
On the city wall of Jinling, the Xia Guolong flag was taken down by the soldiers of the Yun Army and thrown casually under the city wall. It was replaced by the Yunlong flag fluttering in the wind and making a hunting sound.
Although the Xia court fled north at this time, in a sense, starting from the fall of Jinling City, the Xia Dynasty, which used to dominate the Central Plains and ranked first among the countries, and where all the countries came to visit, had completely
