Chapter 137 Ningxia Ping, On meritorious deeds
...
"Soldiers, kill the thief."
Outside Zhang Liang Fort, smoke filled the guns, iron arrows and muskets flew everywhere, and the sound of killing was filled. At the front of the military formation, Li Rusong led the way and rushed to the front. Seeing this, both the servants and ordinary officers and soldiers in Xuanfu Town were very encouraged and rushed to fight against the enemy.
Here is the main force of the Mongolian Sullik tribe. As the king of Shunyi in Mongolia, he was nominally a Khan from dozens of Mongolians, and his soldiers were also very elite. From the time of Mao to the time of Si, hundreds of people were killed or injured, but the winner was still not decided.
It was not until Li Rubai and Li Ruzhang brothers led their teams to arrive in time, and carried out two attacks. They were defeated and led their troops to flee desperately. The Ming army chased them reluctantly and chased them to the foot of Helan Mountain. They defeated their Mongolian soldiers and fled in scattered and fled. Everyone rushed out of the frontier. In the end, Li Rusong's tribe captured and killed more than 1,330 Mongolians and captured countless camels and horses.
When the news came back, there was a jubilation under the city of Ningxia. Ye Mengxiong, Zhu Zhengse, and Mei Guozhen all submitted a report to the victory. Ye Mengxiong reported: "The thief's vanguard is defeated, and the city is broken in the evening." Emperor Wanli was overjoyed and issued an edict to reward him. The governor and the soldiers gave him gold.
Then the Ming official army under Ningxia City hung all the Mongol leaders under the captive and killed with bamboo poles and stood under Ningxia City. After seeing the rebels in the city, they all felt even more dismayed. In addition, the official army defeated the reinforcements of the Mongols in Hetao twice, which cut off the foreign aid of the rebels in Ningxia City and their morale declined.
At this time, Huang Laifu knew that Ningxia was flat and was not far away.
August 27th.
Outside the city, the Ming army broke the dam and irrigated the city, which made more and more water-soaked places on all sides of Ningxia City.
September 3.
Zhejiang general Yang Wen led a group of Zhejiang reinforcements to the city of Ningxia, and the morale of the army was greatly improved. At this time, Governor Ye Mengxiong had decided to let the entire army build large ships and rafts to prepare for the siege. He also informed the army that those who could climb the city first would be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold, which made the Ming army under the city bravely and strive to serve.
September 7th.
Under the flood, the city wall of Ningxia Chengbei Pass finally collapsed, and the collapsed place reached several feet. Rebel generals such as Chengen and Xu Chao rushed to Beiguan to supervise the guards.
September 8th.
The Ming official army under the city launched an attack. Xue Yongshou and others from Nanguan were asked to respond to the inner support. The Ming army used the strategy of attacking the east and west to attack the north pass. The two rebel generals of Chengen and Xu Chao really went to Beiguan to supervise the battle. Taking advantage of this time, Li Rusong, Xiao Ruxun and others personally led their elite servants to attack Nanguan, and Huang Laifu also followed closely behind with his three hundred servants.
The old general Niu Bingzhong, who was already seventy years old, still bravely climbed first. The military supervisor Mei Guozhen shouted: "The old general should climb the city first, how can you retreat?" As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Laifu and other generals rushed to board. After the fierce thinness of flesh, Nanguan came down.
Then most of the Ming army soldiers also climbed the city one after another. At this time, the rebels in Ningxia City were really out of reach.
September 10th.
Seeing that Nanguan had lost his fortune, the situation on his side was gone, Xun Bai and others hurriedly put the former general Zhang Jie down the city and requested revenge. Governor Ye Mengxiong pretended to agree, but still built siege equipment.
The military supervisor Mei Guozhen was afraid of the strength of the father and son of the Qi family, so he did not dare to believe it. He found a resident of Nanguan, an oil seller Li Deng, who knew him, who was acquainted with him, and gave him wine and food, and gave him a secret plan. Li Deng was ordered to leave.
He came to the east gate and wrote a letter to Mei Guozhen to He Chengen, and said to him: "The army of He Chengen once had the achievements of Ansai, and the army supervisor could not bear to be punished. He ordered Deng to submit a secret letter to the general. If the general heard Deng's words, he would kill Liu quickly and let him redeem himself, otherwise he would kill Deng immediately."

On November 20th of the 20th year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli was captured by Ningxia and established a clerk, Chengxiang, favored him, and Chenghong Da. This month, he also exempted the disaster-stricken governments such as the capital, Zhejiang, and Henan to pay rent. On December 20th, the thieves in Ningxia were pacified and reported to the world.
