Lord of the House - v12 Chapter 87

It’s only June, and Yanji is also a sweltering summer day.

Zhou Pu and Chu Zheng led their troops to recapture Yanjing on May 18, and Lin Fu only moved westward from Jinhai after half a month of recapturing Yanjing. However, Lin Fu did not live in Yanjing City directly, but in a royal manor formerly known as Qiuye Prison in the northeastern suburbs of Yanjing, and later used as a hunting ground for Huluquan.

“It’s all said that Qiuye’s reversal of the case changed Yuanyue’s fate,” Lin Fu stood on the mountain pavilion at the west corner of the manor, facing the cool wind blowing slowly, and asked Song Jia behind him, “What do you think?”

Song Jia knew that Lin Fu was going to rehabilitate Su Men and Li Zhuo, but when it comes to the root cause of Yuanyue’s collapse from ZTE in the past 20 to 30 years, Song Jia didn’t think she could see through it, she just said: ” Some things are left for posterity to comment on.”

Lin Bie nodded, some things are indeed left for future generations to comment on.

At this time, Gao Zongting hurried up to the mountain pavilion and said: “Yuan Lishan committed suicide by drinking poison in Tai’an, and the rest of the army is under the jurisdiction of deputy general Yuan Guiting. He sent people to Ning Zechen on the third day to ask for his surrender; Ning Zechen sent a quick horse to come to Yanjing to ask for instructions. …”

After the recapture of Yanjing and the defeat of the remnants of the Nan deserted soldiers in Luan County, although the summer weather entered the summer, the fighting in various places did not slow down because of this, but set off a new wave of regaining lost territory.

Lin Fu sent Zhang Gou to lead his subordinates and also govern the independent town division of Taihang Mountain under Wei Zhonglong and other Taihang Mountain resistance troops of nearly 50,000 troops. They fled westward from Luan County to Jinzhong via Jingxing Road, and fell into Taiyuan in early June. The county fell on the wind.

In early June, Chu Zheng led his troops to recover Changli, Yuguan and other northeastern Hebei regions. Han Caizhi led his troops to Dushan to recover Datong, and the northern Jin area to the south of Datong also surrendered, without encountering any resistance troops.

At the same time, with the cooperation of the cavalry of the two brigades, Hu Qiaoguan’s department continued to move south after recovering Cangzhou, and together with Liuxilin’s department, which had captured Linqu, attacked the remnants of the Jiaodong area from the north and south.

Xuchang’s troops and horses were the first to collapse. After the Changhuai Army moved north, Luo Jian, Huo Tong, and Liang Chengdong led their troops to surrender. Dong Yuan, Zhong Rong, Chen Juxian and others led the remnants of less than 30,000 people to retreat to the west of Ruzhou, and stubbornly resisted at the foot of Fu Niu Mountain.

In the first ten days of June, Liu Zhenzhi was ordered to lead his troops to the south, join forces with Deng Yu and Xiao Kui’an, and attacked Dong Yuan’s army, which had retreated to Ruyang. The others disappeared after the war.

After the Battle of Luan County, although the Huaidong Army captured the corpse of the captive king Ye Jier, killed Tan Daocheng, Juqu Mengye and other captive generals, and captured Zhang Xie and others, they still called Ye Jiduodi and a small number of cavalry to break out—— After Ye Jiduodi broke through the encirclement and headed south, he also knew that the general situation was lost, and even only waited until He Xiongqi led 5,000 cavalry to join him, and he would not care about other troops and horses east of Linzi, that is, the remnants of Jinan, Daliang and other places to the west. Escaped, entered Hezhong Mansion, and joined Yeji Luorong.

At this time, apart from Chen Zhihu in Guanzhong, Ye Jiluorong and Ye Jiduodi in Hezhong, the nearly 50,000 newly attached Han troops led by Yuan Lishan in the later period of the Northern Expedition became the main soldiers and horses of Beiyan remaining in the hinterland of Hehuai. At this time, Ning Zechen led 80,000 soldiers and horses to besieged in Tai’an and other cities, unable to stretch.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Lishan committed suicide in the city of Tai’an – after hearing Gao Zongting say this, Lin Fu looked up at the distant mountain and said, “Send a team to protect Yuan Lishan’s family in Yanjing City, and not allow the military and civilians to harass him; Tai’an Ning Zechen is solely responsible for the decision of the enemy to surrender, and all war criminals can be dealt with in the first or second class after surrendering. It is also a good thing to end the war in the Central Plains as soon as possible…”

Before the Northern Expedition, the military department drew up a list of war criminals. Yuan Lishan, who had contributed greatly to the invasion of Yanhu South, naturally had to be listed as a first-class war criminal. In addition to Yuan Lishan, more than 200 generals from Jizhen who were captured by Yuan Lishan at that time were included in the list of war criminals. At this time, in order to end the war in the Central Plains as soon as possible, clear obstacles for the Western Expedition as soon as possible, and give Certain forgiveness of these war criminals is necessary.

“By the way,” Lin Fu thought of something again and asked Gao Zongting, “Have you seen Zhang Xie?”

“I’ve seen it,” Gao Zongting nodded and said, “If he can’t be interrogated as soon as possible, his body won’t last long…”

“You can’t tell him to die of illness, it’s too cheap for him,” Lin Bie frowned and said, “You, Zuo Xiang and Duke Song must seize the time to clarify the details before and after Li Bingbu’s wrongful death, and try to call Zhang Xie. Torture to death!”

“I met Zuo Xiang just now, and Zuo Xiang talked about returning the capital to Yanjing. I wonder if the lord has considered it; should this matter be temporarily put aside and go back to Jiangning?” Gao Zongting asked.

After recovering Jinhai, Lin Fu made Zuo Chengmu as the envoy of Yanji, and was fully responsible for cleaning up Yanji’s current shabby situation. As the army marched westward, Lin Fu hid in Yanjiao Manor to escape the summer heat, while Zuo Chengmu moved the administrative office to Yanjing City, and also led the dispatch of the governor of Yanjing.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians need relief and comfort in Yanjing City alone, and the remnants of Yan Hu in Yanjing City must also be cleared in time – Zuo Chengmu needs to be caught up in all kinds of things, but Lin Fu can’t think of it. He also has the leisure to care.

Lin Fu did not deliberately block the news of Emperor Yongxing’s death, and the so-called decree of the Zen position written by Emperor Yongxing was also made public in Jiangning in early June. As a ritual system, Lin Fu naturally refused several times. Only by “refusing to refuse” can he justly ascend to the throne and become emperor.

Just returning to Jiangning, or directly ascending the throne in Yanjing, there are still some differences within Huaidong.

Zuo Chengmu and Hu Wenmu, including Lin Xuwen, Lin Tingli and others, advocated that the capital should still be in Yanjing. Naturally, they hoped that Lin Fu could directly become emperor in Yanjing. At least in the traditional pattern, Jiangning is biased towards the south, and the capital is located in Jiangning, which is not conducive to the rule of the north.

In fact, it is not difficult for the new empire to control the entire northeast region. Liaoyang, the core town in the northeast, is only 200 miles away from the coast of Bohai. , as long as there are more seaports in Liaodong that export iron, coal, wood and other resources, the control of the entire northeastern region will be easier than imagined – the difficult thing is to control the west of Guanzhong, Heyuan and even further west.

For the control of the northwest region, whether the imperial capital is located in Jiangning or in Yanjing, the actual difference is not big.

Thinking of this, Lin Fu said: “Can Liaoyang be taken down in August, and Liaoyang won, there will be almost no problems here, then we can get out and go back to Jiangning first!”

There are still 30,000 remaining enemies in the Liaodong area to be eliminated. In fact, it is not enough. The remaining enemies in Liaodong may even abandon Liaodong and flee westward from the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain, with Ye Jiluorong and Ye Jiduo who fled westward from Hezhong and Guanzhong. Dysprosium and other departments converge…

The expansion of the new empire will focus on two directions, one is Southeast Asia and the other is the northwest. Jiangning is the center of gravity in these two directions. Song Jia stood by and did not speak, but she also did not advocate returning the capital to Yanjing.

Gao Zongting left, Song Jia smiled and asked Lin Fu: “I heard that the concubine of the Hu people is as beautiful as a flower and has a reputation of national beauty. Lord Leopard said that she should not be abrupt and beautiful, and she specially sent it to prison yesterday, are you interested in seeing him? See?”

“Zhou Pu is trying to make a fool of me. What are you doing with me?” Lin Bie said with a pouting mouth.

“Then what are you going to do with her, so that she won’t be exiled to Nanyang?” Song Jia asked.

“Go back to Jiangning and allow her to become a monk.” Lin Fu said.

“Alright, Mingyue still lacks a company in the nunnery,” Song Jia said, “but Princess Yuanyan, you must be reluctant to let her spend the rest of her life in the nunnery?”

Lin Fu can still remember Yuan Yan’s innocent and beautiful smile ten years ago. Thinking of this, Lin Fu sighed softly and said, “I won the Yuan family, but I don’t know if she hates me in her heart. Let’s talk about Jiangning. …”

****************

In Yuan Lishan drinking poison and committing suicide a little earlier, the Goryeo generals Cui Quanchen and Cui He, who knew the outcome of the Yanji war in advance, assassinated Ye Ji Baishi while he was attending a banquet.

With the cooperation of the second town division of the Haidong Camp Army, Cui Quanchen and Cui He and his son surrounded and annihilated more than 15,000 Juqu troops led by Ye Ji Baishi who reinforced Goryeo, and took the opportunity to control the Goryeo army and horses in Guiyang Mountain to the side of Qing Jun. , Respect the name of the monarchy to crusade the country’s prime minister Zuo clan, and march to Hanyang.

The only elites of Goryeo in the periphery of Hanyang are in the hands of Cui Quanchen and Cui Hyuk and his son, and Zhen Feng led the Haiyang army to break through the Asan defense line to the north.

In mid-July, the remnants of Yanhu’s army in Hezhong Mansion still had 80,000 troops~www.mtlnovel.com~ but the native troops of the Yandong Huhus accounted for less than 30%, and they were only forced by the Huaidong Army. Threatened, the Yanxi Hus and Xi entered the northwest Yihus, and temporarily moved in and united around the Dayan royal family headed by Ye Ji Luorong and Ye Ji Duodi.

The situation dragged on until mid-July, and Ye Jiluorong could not see any possibility of a change. Facing the gathering of more and more Huaidong troops on the periphery, Ye Jiluorong could only abandon Hezhongfu and flee westward into Tongguan.

On July 16, Tao Chun led the Changhuai Army to recover Hezhongfu and stationed in Luoyang.

At the beginning of July, the Jinghai Division, after a short-term rest, quickly recovered its combat power, crossed the sea from the Jinhai Sea to the north, and stormed the Liaokou, which is the key point in the northeast and west of Liaoning, that is, the Liaohekou.

Chen Zui led the Denghai Town Division to land at Liaokou, and then advanced along the Liaohe River. On July 8, he recovered Liaoyang City, which had no troops to defend the northern capital of Yanhu.

The remnant enemies in Liaodong fled westwards almost before July, and some fled northward and towards the Ulun Mountains; the rest of the Jinghai Division recaptured the Liaodong Peninsula; Liuxilin was also recovered from July 12th and 4th Dengzhou.

At this point, the battle in the Central Plains has come to an end, and the Northern Expedition can be considered a great success – and in Hezhong Prefecture, Lin Fu, headed by Ning Zechen, transferred Song Shixing and Yang Yihang to the west, and prepared to set up the Western Expedition Army Headquarters, which will be Huaiyang Army, Changhuai Army, The independent town divisions of the Taihang Mountains were all incorporated into the Western Expedition. In addition, the artillery brigade directly under the General Department and a new musket battalion were incorporated into the Western Expedition Army.

The flintlock guns made by the Ordnance Superintendent are currently only equipped for training by one battalion of the forbidden battalion. Lin Fu was worried that after the war in the west, the new muskets would be difficult to be tested by the brutal land battle, so this time, the forbidden battalion army was urgently tested. The Musketeers were dialed into the sequence of the Western Expedition.

In early August, under the **** of the first jockey, Lin Bie left Yanjing and returned to Jiangning to become emperor… My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
