The Ming Dynasty was divided into two capitals, and the thirteenth reigned as the Ministry of Political Envoys. (The two capitals were the capital Shuntian Prefecture and Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture)

Luoyang County is divided into Henan Prefecture, and Henan Chengxuan’s Political Consultative Office.

Henan Chengxuan's General Envoy Department, with an official signature. During the Ming Dynasty, the first-level administrative region directly under the management of the central government was referred to as the "General Envoy Department", and the civilian abbreviation was referred to as the "Province" or "Province". It is under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Prefecture, Weihui Prefecture, Huaiqing Prefecture, Guide Prefecture, Zhangde Prefecture, Runing Prefecture, Nanyang Prefecture, and Ruzhou Zhili Prefecture.

Henan Prefecture, the prefecture is under Luoyang County (now Luoyang City, Henan), and the scope is roughly the area under Luoyang City, Henan Province. Its jurisdiction is: Luoyang County, Yanshi, Gong, Mengjin, Yiyang, Yongning, Xin'an, Mianchi, Dengfeng, Song, Lu family, and Shaanxi (Lingbao, Qianxiang).

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Luoyang (Luoyi) was the capital.

The Qin Dynasty established Sanchuan County, and the Western Han Dynasty established Henan County, and Luoyang was the county governed.

Luoyang was the capital in the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the Cao Wei period, Luoyang was changed to Luoyang and remained the capital.

After the Northern Wei unified the north, he moved the capital to Luoyang, and changed Henan County to Henan Yin.

In the Sui Dynasty, Henan Yin was renamed to Henan County, with the eastern capital Luoyang as the center.

In the Tang Dynasty, Henan County was changed to Henan Prefecture, Duji Province.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Henan Prefecture was centered on Luoyang, the western capital.

By this time in the Ming Dynasty, Luoyang became the provincial capital of Henan Jiangbei Province.

Luoyang is the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties. It has been a military important place since ancient times. Luoyang's military significance involves the morale of Henan Province and even the north and the stability of the military and people's hearts.

As long as Zhou Xuan took Luoyang, the entire Henan would almost be in his pocket. Now he has won several counties and summarized most of the Henan Prefecture into the territory. Now only the last piece of the puzzle Luoyang is left, and the current battle situation can come to an end.

Luoyang is located south of the Yellow River and in the heart of the Central Plains.

"Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Merchants" records: "In the past, the people of the Tang Dynasty were Hedong, the people of the Yin Dynasty were Henoi, and the people of the Zhou Dynasty were Henan. The three rivers were in the world, and if they were as big as a tripod, they would live in the king." The "river" mentioned here refers to the Yellow River, and Hedong, Henoi, and Henan are called the "three rivers". This is an area defined by the Yellow River as the coordinates. The initial Chinese civilization all occurred in this area.

From a geographical perspective, the three regions of Hedong, Henoi and Henan form a tripod, while Mengjin County in Luoyang is just in the axis. The northwest of this county is Hedong, the north and northeast of this county is Hanoi, and the south is Luoyang, which is Henan.

Luoyang is also a strategic fortress and transportation hub.

Luoyang is located on the plain on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Luo River. Its north and west are mountains. The valley water passes through the Wushan Mountain, just west of Luoyang, and flows into the Luo River near Luoyang. The Luo River comes from Xionger Mountain in the southwest of Luoyang. After passing Luoyang, the terrain is open and flat, and all the way to the east.

It meets the Yishui River from the Songshan Mountains to the south at a few dozen kilometers east of Luoyang. This convergence point is the so-called intersection of the ancient Three Rivers, which is the old city of Luoyang in the Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. From the old city of Luoyang to the northeast, the Luo River crosses the eastern foot of the Mangshan Mountain and merges into the Yellow River.

In ancient times, Luoyang was said to be the world, with four battles everywhere.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the eight gate commanders were divided into eight dangerous places to guard Luoyang, which showed the strategic situation of Luoyang being attacked on all sides. The upper reaches of the three rivers formed a superior position to control Luoyang during the war.

Since ancient times, once the east and west split, the Sanchuan Valley has often been the focus of the competition between the east and west. Qin vs. Han, the front Zhao vs. Later Zhao, the Former Qin vs. Former Yan, the Eastern Wei vs. Western Wei, and the Northern Zhou vs. Northern Qi have all launched fierce battles here.

Yishui. Starting from Luoyang today, along the Yishui River, you will reach the exit of the Yishui River northward into the Luoyang Plain, which is where the ancient Yique Longmen is located. Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Buddha statue group of Longmen Grottoes has been dug up on the cliffs on the shore.

Longmen is the southern gate of Luoyang. It goes up against the Yi River, and the mountains and valleys are endless. From ancient times to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the depths of the Yichuan Valley have always been the residence of Rongdi, which was the so-called "Yichuan Rong" in the Zhou Dynasty.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Tumans of Yichuan controlled the deep valleys. There was a fortress Yichuan in the Yishui River, which is now Yichuan County.

Yichuan not only controls the southern gate of Luoyang, but also has a watershed between the Yellow River Basin and the Huai River Basin from the southeast of Yichuan. This watershed is easier to cross than elsewhere. After crossing, it enters the impact plain area of ​​the Ru River, a tributary of the Huai River, and reaches today's Linru County.

From Linru, you can enter the plains of the Lianghuai River Basin to the east, or you can go south to Nanyang, Xiangyang, and the Yangtze River Basin. Therefore, it is a hub connecting the north and south.

Now as long as Zhou Xuan occupy Henan and completely digest it, he will have the confidence to fight the world, and Hedong and Hanoi will be within their reach.

In fact, it was not that he underestimated the heroes of the world, but that the Ming Dynasty in this world was really exhausted.

Almost all the officials are corrupt officials, and most of them are bandit soldiers. The gentry and wealthy people only know how to deceive the people, and the people are living in poverty everywhere. Even if Zhou Xuan does not revolt, others will stand up. Changing dynasties has become inevitable, just to see who can take that position.

Zhou Xuan has now taken the lead, but he has just lost some talents, administrative talents, military talents, soldiers, etc., and almost everyone is short of everyone. But at present, it is impossible to recruit people for a while, but fortunately these problems are not big.

Those fencemen can be used for the time being, as long as he never loses the battle. But if he shows a downward trend when he loses, those fencemen will definitely turn against each other immediately. However, the people are in his heart, and talents will always find replacements to those fencemen in the future.

The soldiers are very fast. Zhou Xuan took Luoyang before the government could react. So as not to send more heavy troops to defend, it would be very troublesome to attack the city. The casualties would definitely be huge, but he is reluctant to lose too many soldiers now.

After Zhou Xuan decided on the plan to capture Luoyang, the army immediately set off.

They didn't rashly attack Luoyang before, because they were afraid that they would not be able to attack for a while and add casualties.

Luoyang City is strong and high in the walls, so it cannot be confused with those small counties. Moreover, zombies cannot come out to help siege the city during the day, which is also the most critical point. However, they were not without any preparations and had arranged a group of warriors to enter Luoyang in batches. Now, when the city is siege at night, they will rely on them to snatch the city gate.

The one Zhou Xuan relies most on now is zombies, and the morale of the army is gathered stably by it. Its weaknesses must not be exposed, otherwise it will be a huge blow to the morale of the army.

In fact, the two things that zombies fear the most are the two points, sunlight and fire. Taoist methods are unlikely to appear in the military formation and can be ignored for the time being. If the sunlight is sunlight, just avoid the daytime. The flame is not difficult, just wear iron armor.

That night, Zhou Xuan led his troops to attack Luoyang City, but of course he easily took it.
