- Xing'an Prefecture.
Li Dingguo was leading his troops towards here, and the sentry scouts sent by Zheng Pi also detected the movements of the Datong Army from afar.
Zheng Pi urgently recalled the soldiers who had gone out to gather food back to Xing'an Fucheng, and said to his son: "At most half a month, the typhoon is coming. Even if there is no typhoon, it will be hot and rainy, these Han soldiers can't bear it. Stick to Xing'an City and wait for the rain to fight again, then the firearms of the Han soldiers will be useless."
Zheng Zuo wondered: "Our army doesn't have enough food and grass, even if we collect food, it won't last for a long time. Shouldn't we make a quick decision?"
"I have already ordered the whole army to reduce their meals, and there is no problem in sustaining it for two or three months," Zheng said. "The Han soldiers are all elites, but most of us are rural warriors. It is very disadvantageous to fight outside the city. It is more beneficial for us to defend the city." .As long as there is delay, it will be hot and humid, and the Han soldiers from the north will definitely get sick."
The territory of Vietnam is long and spans many latitudes, so the climate is very complicated.
Like the Red River Delta where the war is currently fought, the four seasons are relatively distinct, but it is relatively hot all year round. In summer, there are more typhoons and the rainfall increases significantly. It is hot and humid and it is easy to get sick.
The rainy season in the true sense is actually on the Ruan's territory, and it is in the south of the Ruan's territory. There is drought for half a year and continuous rainfall for half a year.
If you fight in Nghe An, Thanh Hoa, Ha Tinh and other areas, even if there is no typhoon in summer, it will be particularly uncomfortable, because there will be "Laos wind". In fact, it is a kind of foehn effect. The reason why Chongqing is called the stove is because the foehn always blows in summer.
In a word, if time continues to drag down, there will definitely be a large number of non-combat attrition in the Chinese army.
Zheng Zuo nodded and said, "I understand."
Zheng Pi also said: "Our army sticks to Xing'an City. If the Han soldiers cannot attack for a long time, they may go north to attack Taiping Mansion. There are not enough defenders in Taiping City.
If you bring 10,000 people there, even if you die in the city, you must guard Taiping. You must not let Han soldiers cross Taiping to Shenglong Mansion! "
Zheng Zuo immediately went to count the soldiers and horses, planning to lead the troops to garrison in Taiping Mansion.
There is a tributary of the Red River called the Taiping River. The two rivers meet near Xing'an City and follow Ailao Mountain, which generally refers to a large mountainous area at the border of Laos, Vietnam, and China.
There used to be an Ailao country, which rose in the middle and upper reaches of the Lancang River and the Nu River, and was established by the Dai tribe. Ailao Kingdom is also called Mengzhang Kingdom and Chengxiang Kingdom. The word Ailao is a transliteration, which roughly means "big brother", and is the respectful title given to the king by the leaders of various ministries.
A hundred years ago, Mo Dengyong usurped the government of Annan. The ancestors of the Zheng family and the Ruan family fled to the Ailao mountain area with a group of old ministers, but they did not know where to find the clan to support them. Only then did the most difficult years pass and bought time for the later restoration of the country.
Now that Zheng Pi is in a desperate situation, he immediately thinks of his ancestors and decides to flee to the mountains to hide for a few years.
In the afternoon of that day, Zheng Pi led tens of thousands of troops, with only food and gold and silver, and evacuated towards the western mountainous area as quickly as possible.
These guys left on the front foot, and Datong in the city worked carefully, and rushed downstream to report the news.
"Stop!"
Xi Zuo met Li Dingguo's vanguard on the way, and he said in Chinese: "My own people, act cautiously, and don't wear a belt badge. Quickly tell General Li that Zheng Pi fled westward, probably going into the mountains. Shenglong Mansion There are also people fleeing, and the Mo family is besieging Shenglong Mansion!"
Li Dingguo soon learned of the news and ordered: "Follow at full speed, and the enemy cannot escape into the mountains!"
The ships carried armor, artillery and food, and the soldiers only held weapons in their hands. In the weather of nearly 3 degrees, they ran along the river under the scorching sun. Fortunately, the official road was built by the river, and the cavalry could also run along the official road. Otherwise, there would be paddy fields everywhere, and the cavalry would probably have to abandon their horses to pursue.
When he rushed to Xing'an City, Li Dingguo successfully accepted the city, leaving only a few hundred people to guard the city, and the rest of the soldiers crossed the river and continued to chase west.
And for the next journey, there is no benefit of the river, and the soldiers have to bring food, armor, and weapons by themselves.
I saw thousands of Datong soldiers jogging shirtless on the field ridges in the countryside. The cotton armor was packed on the back, and the spears, firecrackers, and waist knives were tied horizontally on the cotton armor. Under the scorching sun, they were sweating all over their bodies, as if they had just been fished out of the water.
All the horses of the cavalry remained in Xing'an City, and were temporarily converted to infantry marches - there were no official roads, paddy fields were everywhere, and the horses marched very slowly.
As for the food, each soldier only brought three days' worth of dry food, and there was a kettle with cold boiled water on his waist.
It was also very hot after nightfall. Zheng's soldiers complained one after another, and the civilian men who carried the luggage were even hotter and tired.
Zheng Dada was getting old, and he couldn't bear it any longer. He ordered: "The whole army should rest in place, and don't walk around indiscriminately.After that, continue on your way! "
?With the addition of civilian husbands and village braves, a total of tens of thousands of troops stopped in the fields like this. Don't say anything about the formation, it stretches for several miles in a mess,
It took a long time to convey the military order.
Zheng Pi felt that he was very safe. The Han soldiers were still far away, and it was impossible for them to fly over to attack him.
The officers of the various ministries ordered the soldiers to collect weeds and ignite them to fumigate mosquitoes. They are all weeds such as wormwood and mugwort, which can be seen everywhere in the wild, and farmers rely on these things to repel mosquitoes.
For a while, the field was filled with thick smoke, and the smell of rice was mixed with it.
Just as the meal was being served, there was a change from behind the troops, followed by another burst of shouts.
Zheng came to report covered in blood: "Father, a gentry escaped with a countryman, and the child has been suppressed! Elite guards have been arranged everywhere,
Whoever dares to be a deserter, don't want to see the sun of tomorrow! "
It is normal for deserters to appear.
Of these tens of thousands of troops, more than 70% are civilian husbands and countrymen. The generals of the village brave troops are all diligent gentry from all over the country.
Let the gentry recruit soldiers to serve the king, but let them abandon their family property and go to the mountains, and don't know how many years they will have to hide, that is more uncomfortable than killing them : "All men in the army, I don't know how many years they will stay in the mountains,
No woman wants bad things. Before entering the mountain, the villages outside the mountain were raided, and all the women were arrested with the army and assigned to the soldiers as wives. "
Zheng thought for a while and said, "In order to prevent the soldiers from escaping, I will send an order now. Tell them that they can rob along the way tomorrow, but each person is only allowed to rob one woman. Too much robbing is not conducive to a fast march."
In this way, the Datong Army did not need to march in a hurry, and could catch up at a normal speed.
Zheng Zuo immediately sent an order to the whole army. Hearing that they could plunder along the way, their morale recovered a little. Especially those bachelors in the army are even excited, they will be able to grab their wives soon. They even made up their minds that if they want to rob the lady of the landlord's house, they don't want any ugly ones!
Zheng Pi said to his son: "At the beginning when the Mo clan usurped power, our ancestors led tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians into the mountains. After thirteen years of hard work, we finally achieved great success! Don't be discouraged. Our ancestors can stay in the mountains for thirteen years, and we can come again. Thirteen years. As long as you seize the opportunity, you will be able to restore the country!"
"Kids, remember!" Zheng Zhui was inspired by a few words.
In fact, it was Ruan Gan, the ancestor of the Ruan family, who led the soldiers and civilians into the mountain. Zheng Jian, the ancestor of the Zheng family, came to seek refuge in the middle of the journey, and made a fortune by being Ruan Gan's son-in-law.
They have not been working hard in the mountains for thirteen years, but have been shrinking turtles for thirteen years.
In the end, the country was able to restore the country because Mo Dengyong angered Emperor Jiajing, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had already reached Zhennan Pass. Mo Dengyong was so frightened that he peed his pants, and personally led all the ministers to Zhennan Pass to confess his guilt to the Ming army and ask for surrender.
The ancestors of the Nguyen and Zheng clans seized the opportunity to send troops to retake Ngee An and Thanh Hoa. With the help of Ngee Ann and Qinghua gentry, they recruited the peasant army for the Northern Expedition, and finally recaptured Thang Long Mansion.
After the restoration of the country, the Ruan family and the Zheng family fell out, and the Zheng family also played tricks to usurp power. The Ruan family fled to the south to establish a separatist regime.
Of course, in the propaganda of the Zheng family, the Ruan family is the traitor, and the restoration of the country depends entirely on the efforts of the Zheng family.
At night, Zheng didn't sleep soundly, and was always worried about the future development.
Suddenly there was the sound of shouting and killing, and Zheng woke up suddenly.
Zheng Zuo came over with his own soldiers, and said anxiously: "Father, go quickly, the Han soldiers are coming!"
Zheng Zheng said in surprise: "Why so fast? Can Han soldiers fly?"
