Chapter 446 After the War (2)(1/2)
Dinghai (30) in the spring and third month of the first year of Yuanyou.
Jiaozhi, Taiyuan City (now Taiyuan City, Taiyuan Province, Vietnam).
The Jiaozhi flag on top of the city was thrown down.
Li Kexing, the general guarding the city of Jiaozhi, led his troops to attack and kill Li Feng, the magistrate of Taiyuan, Jiaozhi, and immediately announced that he would lead his troops to return to the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.
no way!
There are only more than three thousand defenders in Taiyuan City, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled.
It simply doesn't have the ability to defend the city.
Thang Long Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River has completely shrunk, and it is impossible to send reinforcements.
On the other side of Beizhuan, there were scattered scattered troops who fled back to Taiyuan.
These people brought back news of the fiasco.
At the same time, it also brought back the legend that the Song army suffered divine punishment and that the Song army was protected by gods and Buddhas.
The soldiers and civilians in the city suddenly fell into panic.
At the same time, news continued to come from the north.
A large number of local officials and wealthy families have returned to the Ming Dynasty.
And was recognized by the Song Dynasty.
Under external pressure and internal undercurrents.
Li Kexing made a decisive decision and decisively abandoned Shenglong Mansion, and led his troops to attack and kill dozens of civil servants below the magistrate of Taiyuan, Cochin.
At the same time, he immediately sent an envoy to Beigu, expressing his attitude of dedicating the city to the Ming Dynasty and asking the Song Dynasty to recognize his identity as a Ming Dynasty citizen.
At this point, Jiaozhi lost all its strongholds north of the entire Fuliang River.
…
Wuzi in April of the first year of Yuanyou (the first day of the lunar month).
The small court of Jiaozhi in Thang Long Palace finally learned the outcome of the three-day battle of Beiguang from the scattered soldiers who escaped back.
The 30,000-strong army was completely wiped out, and the Taiwei, the auxiliary general Li Changjie and his younger brother Li Changxian were missing.
The process and results of the battle were also brought back to Shenglong Mansion by the defeated soldiers who fled in a hurry.
In the mouths of these people, Song Jun's performance was infinitely exaggerated.
Obviously many people have never seen the scene where the firearm thrown by Yu Longzhi exploded.
But they kept saying that they saw with their own eyes hundreds of golden-armored giants walking out of the Song army.
These people categorically stated that 'the Northern soldiers have magical skills, six armors and six armors to protect their bodies, they can't be hurt by arrows, they can't be hurt by swords and axes, and when they are thrown, the divine thunder will destroy them hundreds of steps!'
Along with these legends, the entire Shenglong Mansion suddenly fell into panic.
When Li Qiande realized something was wrong and wanted to control the retreating troops.
The legend has spread throughout Thang Long and its surrounding countryside.
Countless people believed the legend and fled south with their families.
The defenders of Sheng Long Mansion were shocked three times a day.
Often people just see smoke and dust appearing in the distance and abandon their stronghold and flee.
The navy patrolling the Furian River also shivered.
Especially when Xu Kenan's cavalry, under the instruction of Di Yong, appeared on the banks of the Fuliang River.
The stress response of the Cochin people reaches its maximum.
At this time, the news that Li Kexing had captured Taiyuan also reached Thang Long Mansion along with a large number of people fleeing.
The small court of Shenglong Mansion suddenly woke up - the entire Jiangbei had fallen into the hands of the Northern Dynasty!
What's even more terrible is that Malingzhou and other places in the south came to report. Champa and Zhenla have already learned about the Northern Dynasty's southern expedition.
A large number of troops are being deployed on the border.
Especially for the Champa Kingdom, its king seems to have come out of the royal capital and led the Champa army in person, heading south in a menacing manner.
Champa and Jiaozhi are feuding and mortal enemies!
The current Jiaozhi Malingzhou, Buzheng, Dili and other places were taken from Champa by the Jiaozhi people more than ten years ago through two wars.
For Champa, this is a shame for losing territory.
But for the king of Champa, what was more terrifying than the loss of land was the Cochin people's greedy ambition towards Champa.
In the war more than ten years ago, the Cochin people defeated the then king of Champa, Lubhadravarman III.
The current king of Champa usurped the throne of Lubhadravarman III during the war.
Then Lubhadravarman III fled to Jiaozhi and led Jiaozhi's troops to march south, intending to use Jiaozhi's hand to restore his throne.
This is the second handover and war of occupation.
During the war, the Champa people retreated steadily and were about to be defeated again.
At this time, the Xining-Song War broke out.
The Cochin people had to retreat and make peace.
Now, a new war breaks out.
The king of Champa was naturally excited and couldn't wait to lead his troops here, vowing to take back the land occupied by the Cochin people, and even vowed to break into Thang Long Palace.
When the Champa people move, the Zhenla people will naturally not want to be left alone.
For Shenglong Mansion, the situation suddenly reached an extremely dangerous point.
Three Kingdoms attack!
If you are not careful, your country will be destroyed!
What makes Shenglong Mansion even more frightened is that as more and more Jiangbei nobles broke up their troops, they fled back to Shenglong Mansion.
They finally knew what kind of opponent they were facing?
The Northern Dynasties gave up their policy of treating Jiaozhi native officials for hundreds of years since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In the past, the Northern Dynasties resolutely refused to recognize the status of any local officials or wealthy families in northern Jiaozhi.
Nong Zhigao and his father Nong Quanfu were very humble in order to seek canonization from the Northern Dynasty.
However, the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Dynasty did not even look at it.
Now, the Northern Dynasties fully recognized the status of northern local officials and wealthy families.
To be canonized, to be given an official title, to be given an official seal, and to be given an official uniform.
One after another, the people complained, and the army opened the way, reasoning with swords and axes.
All the local officials and wealthy families in the entire north rebelled.
Now, they have been canonized by the Northern Dynasty.
With the recognition and canonization of the Northern Dynasty, they naturally no longer need the recognition and canonization of Shenglong Palace.
However, these native officials are now in their territory, brandishing butcher knives and killing everyone related to Shenglong Mansion.
Anyone who participated in the Thang Long Imperial Examination? Kill!
Anyone who was an official in Thang Long Palace? Kill him!
All local stone carvings, stone tablets and even books and texts related to Thang Long Palace were all chiseled and burned!
It is said that in Sumao Prefecture alone, hundreds of scholars were massacred by Zhang Yan, the magistrate of Sumao Prefecture, in one day.
Wang Jing, the governor of Menzhou, even sent troops to destroy all the stone carvings related to Jiaozhi in his territory, including the stone carvings left by Wu Quan and others in Menzhou.
There is no doubt that these are their credentials.
So, Sheng Long Mansion was like waking up from a dream.
Beibing didn't want to leave once he arrived.
And they don’t need to leave either!
Thang Long Palace once imagined that heavy rains and diseases would become Dai Viet's heavenly soldiers and punish the northern soldiers. It is no longer possible for them to happen again.
Because the northern soldiers no longer need to guard Jiangbei.
Dongxi local officials and wealthy families in the north of the Yangtze River will defend their own territory for the northern soldiers.
Even if the native officials were defeated, they could retreat to the Northern Dynasty's Guangxi to recuperate, while waiting for the Northern Dynasty to send troops for reinforcements.
But Sheng Long Mansion cannot afford to lose.
As long as he loses once and loses the Furiang River, the Northern soldiers can cross the river and attack Shenglong Mansion!
In panic, King Li Qiande of Cochin could only follow the advice of his younger brother Li Taide and sent minister Li Wen Sheng as a pilgrim envoy to the Northern Dynasty to cross the river to beg for peace.
