Chapter 764

The Han army defeated the Zheng army. King Zhao Ming of Han left behind his general Wang Yi, and took over the Fujian prefectures, led the army into Guangdong, defeating the Guangdong Governor Chen Bangyan.

A few years ago, Zhu Youjian felt deeply that the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty were divided, and the local government did not obey the orders of the court, so he sent his brother to guard Jiangxi with the Tang Dynasty and the Guangdong King Zhu You'e.

When the Han army entered Guangdong, Guangdong King Zhu Yue, Grand Secretary Su Guansheng, Governor Ding Kuichu, all retreated to Guangzhou City to defend.

The governor of Guangxi Qu Shixi led 30,000 wolf soldiers and stayed in the Sihui.

King Zhao Ming of Han, who came to Guangzhou, ordered Li Benshen and He Dengyun to lead 10,000 troops to monitor Qu Shixi, and ordered Tang Tong, Wang Chaoxian, and the party guards to attack Guangzhou.

When the Han army was at the city, King Zhao Ming of Han threw himself into the city and persuaded Zhu Yue to surrender.

Zhu Yue killed Zhao Ming's envoy, hung it on the top of the city, causing people to curse, insult Zhao Ming's unfaithfulness and unrighteousness, commit rebellion against the superiors, harmed living beings, and was a traitor.

Seeing this, the Han army was furious and bombarded Guangzhou with heavy artillery, and the army immediately attacked Dongcheng.

However, behind the high walls of Guangzhou City, the Pearl River was drawn into the moat and poured into the moat. The Han army attacked fiercely for one day, with more than 3,000 casualties, but did not attack the top of the city.

At this time, it was already July, the climate was hot, and I was sweating all over, let alone climbing the city wall with a knife in my arms.

The Han army, a Zhejiang-born soldier, could barely bear it, but the recruited soldiers of the Shun Army were really unbearable to endure the scorching heat in Guangzhou.

The humid and hot weather, coupled with heavy rains, affected the Han army's war.

The moat in Guangzhou City was wide and the Pearl River water was introduced. The river filling project was too large. The Han army did not drive away the people to fill the river, so it was in trouble under the city of Guangzhou for two months and did not capture Guangzhou City.

As time goes by the end of August, the weather in Guangzhou is still hot, but it is not as good as before, and you can sweat all over while standing.

Seeing that the weather was getting colder, the King of Han immediately set out to attack the city again.

In Guangzhou, there were more than 50,000 Ming troops, but they were not as good as the elite Han army. In addition, Zhao Ming sent the Han army to cut off the supply in Guangzhou and bombarded the city with mortars, and the city gradually disappeared.

King Zhu Yue of Guangdong immediately sent Wang Liang Chaozhong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War who came to supervise the grain, to lead his army to break through and ask for help from Qu Shiqi, who was stationed in the Four Constitutions.

Zhong of the Liang Dynasty was a native of Yu, a scholar of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and was once aide to the Governor Xiong Wencan.

Xiong Wencan died because of the incident of pleading Zhang Xianzhong. Liang Chaozhong complained about his injustice many times. Later, he had a close relationship with Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying.

After Hongguang ascended the throne in Nanjing, Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying both recommended Liang Chaozhong to serve as an official, but Liang Chaozhong believed that Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa were not "Wang Dao and Xie An", and were both mediocre people, so they refused to submit.

Later, the Hongguang Dynasty was destroyed, and the Liang Dynasty Zhong saw that the country was so full that he immediately took office to assist Emperor Longwu.

In the original history, after Longwu was killed, he and Su Guan were born in Guangzhou to support the Tang King Zhu Yuyou as Emperor Shaowu.

The Qing army captured Guangzhou and Shaowu was destroyed. He dived to the water and died for his country. He was rescued and sent to the Qing army. He was killed by the Qing army because he was unwilling to shave his hair and surrender.

Later, Yongli ascended the throne, and remembered his loyalty, he posthumously awarded the title of Liang Dynasty Zhong as Minister of Rites and was named Wenzhen.

At this time, the Longwu Dynasty and the Jianwu Dynasty started a war. In order to obtain money and food, Zhu Youjian was a Guangdong native of Liang Dynasty and was proficient in Cantonese, so he was given the title of Right Minister of War and went to Guangdong to supervise military salaries.

Since Zhao Ming's army arrived in Guangzhou, Guangxi Governor Qu Shizi recruited Guangxi wolf soldiers, joined forces with the headquarters to build a large army of 30,000, and came to rescue Guangzhou from Guilin.

The 30,000 Gui army tried to enter Guangzhou, but was defeated by the Han general Li Benshen in Mawuling, north of Guangzhou.

The wolf soldiers were killed and injured under the Han army muskets. Thirty thousand people were defeated, with more than 5,000 casualties and retreated to the Sihui in panic.

After that, Qu Shili was shocked and feared the front of the Han army. He only led his subordinates, deep ditches and high ravines, and stood firm in the four associations, and did not dare to approach Guangzhou. He stared at the Han army attacking Guangzhou City.

At this time, the envoy of the King of Guangdong Zhu Yue Liang Chaozhong led 3,000 troops to break out and came to Sihui, crying blood for help, saying that the Han army had collapsed the city wall and was at its peak.

Qu Shixi and Liang Chaozhong had some social relationships, and were considered old acquaintances. He treated Liang Chaozhong with courtesy, but he flatly refused the request for sending troops to rescue and persuaded Liang Chaozhong, "Not only did the wolf soldiers not go to rescue them, Liang Shun should not return to Guangzhou!"

Seeing this, Liang Chaozhong, as a deputy minister of the court, actually kowtowed to Qu Shisi directly and asked Qu Shisi to send troops.

Qu Shixi was forced to be a scoundrel and could only kowtow to Liang Chaozhong and repeatedly explained that it was not that the wolf soldiers would not save them, but that Guangzhou would not be saved now, and Guangzhou would be the only one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the

At that moment, Qu Shixi gritted his teeth and rejected Liang Chaozhong's request, and continued to stick to the four associations.

Liang Chaozhong's forehead was broken. Seeing that Qu Shishi was desperate to save him, he couldn't help but scold Qu Shishishi. Regardless of Qu Shishi's dissuasion, he resolutely led his subordinates to rush back to Guangzhou. Finally, in front of the Guangzhou defenders, the entire army was completely destroyed at the city.

All three thousand Ming troops were killed by the Han army, and Liang Chaozhong was also shot dead by random guns.

In Guangzhou City, Zhu Yue saw Liang Chaozhong who was asking for help die at the city. He felt sad and angry and also felt despair.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming took the plane to attack Guangzhou and almost rushed into the city, but temporarily stopped the attack due to heavy rain.

Originally, Zhao Ming was going to take advantage of the opportunity to take Guangzhou as soon as the rain stopped. He didn't expect that the rain would fall until early September.

After the rain stopped, Zhao Ming immediately organized a troops to attack, but at this moment, a bad news came into Zhao Ming's ears.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, who retreated from Sichuan to Yunnan and Guizhou, led an army of 50,000 to rescue Guangzhou, and defeated the Han army He Dengyun's troops in Zhaoqing, killed more than 3,000 Han army members and captured nearly 1,000 prisoners.

He Dengyun only led more than a thousand remaining soldiers to flee back to the Han army camp under the city of Guangzhou.

It turned out that after Qu Shixi was killed and defeated in his first rescue of Guangzhou, he did not really look at the wall. Instead, he insisted on protecting himself, and actively sent envoys to contact Li Dingguo and persuaded Li Dingguo to send troops to serve the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving Qu Shisi's letter, Li Dingguo considered it over and over again, believing that since the Western Army had already surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he should contribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Out of guilt for the collapse of the Western army, causing the Ming Dynasty to fall and the Manchu and Yi entered the pass, Li Dingguo left Liu Wenxiu to guard Yunnan and Guizhou, and personally led 50,000 elite troops, brought war elephants to Guangdong and Guangxi to reinforce the Ming army.

Li Dingguo's 50,000 troops walked all the way and finally entered the Guangdong boundary in September.

Li Dingguo suddenly appeared and defeated 5,000 Han army He Dengyun's troops, which restrained Zhao Ming's plan to attack Guangzhou.
