Chapter 961

"Raid?!" Liu Daxia's eyes were full of surprise, after all, as a senior veteran of the rivers and lakes, he understood that this proposal was feasible, and he believed that if it was really implemented this time, it would definitely be able to beat Ning Wang Jun of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao and cause chaos! Ming Zhongxin was able to propose such a tactic and analyze it, and he naturally felt that the victory of the southward movement was in sight!

Wang Shouren also deeply felt Ming Zhongxin's strategy next to him, this guy accidentally put forward a word that he had never heard before, this tactic is worth studying!

"Okay, let's suggest this tactic to the Nanjing Imperial Court!" Liu Daxia pondered for a moment and raised his head in response.

Ming Zhongxin nodded, no surprise, as if this matter was taken for granted.

Sometimes, Liu Daxia really doesn't know what can surprise him about this guy, for a long time, he has never seen this guy change color, as if nothing can move him, always so calm as usual. Although this was reassuring, he also felt powerless when he saw that this young man was so old.

"Report!" At this moment, suddenly the sergeant's shout came from outside the tent.

Liu Daxia cleaned up his mood, his face was solemn, he regained his majesty, and said in a deep voice, "Enter!" ”

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a sergeant walked in, knelt forward, and presented a cloth bag with both hands, "Jiangxi battle report, please also ask Lord Liu to take a look!" ”

Wang Shouren stepped forward, took the battle report and handed it to Liu Daxia.

Liu Daxia lowered his head and watched, and the more he looked at it, the more gloomy his face became.

"Lord Liu, what happened?" Wang Shouren asked unconsciously.

Liu Daxia smiled bitterly and handed him the battle report.

Wang Shouren looked down, and his face gradually became gloomy.

It's late! Liu Daxia and Wang Shouren, who raised their heads, looked at each other and sighed in their hearts.

Ming Zhongxin saw it, "Old Liu, Brother Wang, could it be that Jiangxi has fallen?" ”

The two laughed bitterly, and Wang Shouren sighed, "It's still too late!" King Naning has already relieved his strength, and actually sent troops to besiege Ji'an, so that Wu Wending could not move a bit, and he led his army north, captured Anqing, and wanted to take Nanjing! ”

Ming Zhongxin's eyes froze, "King Ning has reacted?!" ”

"Not bad!" Wang Shouren couldn't help but nodded, "It must be so, otherwise, I wouldn't have reacted like this." ”

Ming Zhongxin took a step forward and took the battle report in his hand, which was written with an instant battle report, and at the end, it was Wu Wending's autograph.

But it turned out that King Ning, who had been waiting in Hongdu for more than ten days, finally came to his senses and reacted, after all, after so long, let alone these armies, even the Nanjing Military Department did not send many people to quell the chaos, and at this time, the news that the Nanjing Military Department was gathering people also came, and he was sure that he had been fooled and had been tricked!

For a while, he was filled with anger, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was remorseful, it turned out that he had indeed wronged Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng, correspondingly, he felt a little panicked, after all, after delaying for so long, the imperial court must have known about the rebellion in Jiangxi, and will definitely send troops to quell the chaos, and the Nanjing military department will definitely not let himself be the king and hegemon in Jiangxi, and will definitely take action, but he has delayed for so long, who knows what countermeasures those guys in the imperial court have, and now it is really urgent!

Immediately, Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng and the generals and other existing people immediately held a meeting to decide the next move.

Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng naturally insisted on attacking Anqing, and a lot of time had been wasted, and now they must immediately send troops to capture Anqing, take Nanjing, take this half of the country, and rule the Ming court.

Of course, they suggested that Wu Wending in Ji'an could be besieged but not attacked, so that he could no longer make trouble. After all, Ji'an is in a dangerous terrain, and it is absolutely impossible to capture it for a while, but it will waste our precious time, and the gains outweigh the losses!

So, under their suggestion, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, led the main army to march north in person, and the morale was greatly boosted, and this miscellaneous army was not given in vain, and the combat power was amazing, and within a few days, the army had already ------- Anqing.

Anqing, located in the upper gateway of Nanjing, since ancient times along the Yangtze River down the army, if the capture of Anqing, Nanjing must be in the bag.

Although Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, was not well prepared and could not be armed, he also understood this truth and understood the importance of this geographical location, and on the day the army arrived in Anqing City, he immediately issued an order for a general attack, and tens of thousands of troops surrounded Anqing, attacking this fortress day and night, vowing to capture Anqing as soon as possible.

This is nothing, in just a few days, there are thieves in various parts of southern Xinjiang to varying degrees, and they have risen up one after another, and southern Xinjiang at this time is really full of devastation! It has been confirmed that these guys are responding to King Ning, and it can be regarded as the result of King Ning's recruitment everywhere over the years! No one expected that this southern Xinjiang would collapse to this point.

After hearing these battle reports, the Nanjing Military Department was even more dumbfounded, scrambling to deal with it, but the troops from all over the country could not be dispatched, although the troops in Nanjing City could be rescued, but it was a drop in the bucket, just because, this southern Xinjiang is not only a rebellion of thieves, but some officials have also announced that they are attached to King Ning, killing people everywhere and setting fires. How can that little force in the city of Nanjing be taken care of? No one expected that southern Xinjiang would be so chaotic, and in comparison, the momentum of the previous Yunnan rebellion was actually compared. The small court of Nanjing put out fires everywhere, but it could not extinguish the flames.

And with these solidarity, King Ning is naturally like a tiger with wings, no longer worry, Anqing is only afraid that it will be just around the corner, on the contrary, the Nanjing court is in a dilemma, save or not, this is a difficult problem! Therefore, the small court of Nanjing sent people to the court for help. At this time, this battle report fell into the hands of Liu Daxia.

After receiving this battle report, Liu Daxia was shocked, regardless of everyone's fatigue, immediately ordered, the army set off, went straight to southern Xinjiang, and at the same time, asked the army to travel day and night, there was no day to rest, just eat some dry food on the road every day, in order to fill the stomach, and strive to rush to Nanjing as soon as possible. Ming Zhongxin, Wang Shouren, and all the soldiers naturally have no opinions.

As a result, this army went straight to southern Xinjiang at an unprecedented speed.

Two days later, however, they received another report of the battle.

Anqing actually stood hard and held the main force of King Ning.

But it turned out that after King Naning arrived in Anqing, he immediately attacked the city, and after a few days, he couldn't break through this fortified city at all, just because, the time was there, and the location was advantageous, but the people did not occupy their side.

Just because, at this moment, the Ma clan jumped out and gave Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, a hard blow.

Speaking of this Ma clan, we have to start with Ma Yi in the orthodox years.

This Ma Yi is a new savage from Henan, who was first appointed to test 100 households, and during the orthodox years, he recruited Meng Juan. During the Jingtai period, he conquered Fujian and Huguang. During the Tianshun period, two vast vine gorges were broken. Feng commanded the affairs. This Ma Yi is not unprecedented, uniting people in the poor, short-minded, short-term, Wu, etc., and recruiting for a lot of work. Special promotion added, presented to the hereditary hussar general, managed the general army officers and subordinates, and was appointed as the governor of the capital. In his later years, when Ma Yi was compiling the family tree, he had been promoted to the rank of chief soldier in Guangxi.

From his promotion path, it is not difficult for us to outline Ma Yi's promotion path during his lifetime. According to his Zu Maha, when he came to Anqing, he was only a thousand households, and his official position was not prominent, only six grades, far lower than that of the commander and the commander. Therefore, Ma Yi's background is not high, at the beginning he was just an ordinary Anqingwei sergeant, and his first promotion due to merit was in the orthodox years, and he was promoted to the deputy thousand households, and began to approach his ancestral Ma Hazhi status. After that, he stood out and took up the position of servant, which surpassed his ancestors, and he could be regarded as a glorious ancestor. Later, because of his participation in the war in Guangxi during the Ming Shun period, he was promoted to the prominent position of the Guangxi General Army of the Ming Dynasty during the Chenghua period, and reached the apex of his life's achievements.

It is precisely because of his prominence that he was arranged by the Ming Emperor to revise the "Huaining Ma Clan Genealogy", you know, Ma Yi was born in Islam, and has always been against idolatry in the cultural tradition, and they have no tradition of worshipping ancestors. Therefore, in the early days of the Ma family, there was no genealogy at all. When it came to boldness, the degree of sinicization of the Ma family was further deepened, the family relationship was further complicated, and there was a cultural and practical need to compile a family tree.

In the fourth year of Chenghua (1468), Emperor Chenghua issued an edict to seal Ma Yi and his own mother, give him the treasure land of feng shui Guangzhao Mountain to build a tomb with him, and let him compile a family tree. After some in-depth research by the Ma family, the Ma family actually had a history of more than 500 years, counting 20 generations, as early as 961 A.D. when Ma Yize entered China, and when Ma Yi compiled the family tree. In the meantime, because it was requested by Emperor Chenghua himself, this genealogy actually included as many as 13 prefaces made by people, including high-ranking officials such as cabinet scholars and six scholars, which made the prestige of Ma Yi and the prestige of the Ma family extremely prominent. Officially set up footprints in Anqing.

And the Ma family also officially multiplied in Anqing, forming today's big family. And his nephews Ma Bin (Fang Bo), Ma Long (Zhan Bo), Ma Cong (Hui Ling), Ma Liang (Tong Zhao), Ma Jian (Zhishu), Ma Zhou (Qiawen), Ma He (Xiewen), Ma Gui (Qinggang) and other 8 people also have many people in Anqingwei. Passed down from generation to generation, the prestige of the Dema clan has become more prominent in Anqing, forming today's clan.

It was also this big clan that took the lead in creating obstacles for King Ning when Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, rebelled.

Under the leadership of the Ma clan, the people of Anqing tenaciously gave King Ning a form of hospitality, that is, muskets, bows and arrows. This also caused Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, to be unable to capture Anqing after continuous attacks, so he found a surrender official to enter the city to persuade him to surrender, this person is an Anqing person, the so-called people are familiar with talking, he hopes that through the surrender of this surrender official, the Anqing people will be scattered, and then break the city.

However, as it turned out, he was whimsical.

This surrender official is not stupid, however, the leader asked, he had to go, and with all his reluctance, he entered Anqing, and the Ma family was also under the leadership of the patriarch, and saw this official, and at the first time, the Ma patriarch ordered to cut down the official.

And this official immediately repented, and instead came up with an idea for the Ma family, to cooperate with the inside and outside, and teach King Ning a lesson.

But the patriarch of Ma disagreed, just because, he was afraid that this official was a traitor sent by King Ning, and after deceiving their trust, he would give a blow to the back, which was not good, but the guy who sent it to the door did not need to be in vain.

So, the patriarch of the Ma family asked this official to do one thing, otherwise, he would definitely be killed!

At this time, King Ning outside the city didn't know, he was looking forward to the bloodless soldiers taking Anqing, and pinned great hopes on it.

At this moment, suddenly, the city gate opened, and a person dressed as an official appeared at the city gate, waving to King Ning's army.

King Ning is happy, this is a successful persuasion! He will wave his hand and order the army into the city.

However, Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng felt strange and raised their hands to stop King Ning, of course, they couldn't line up for the possibility of real surrender, so they sent people to ask the city lord to go out of the city to surrender and then march into the city.

However, the surrender official repeatedly assured that it was really a surrender, but the patriarch of the horse asked a team of men and horses to enter the city to surrender, negotiate the conditions and then sacrifice the city.

After discussing with Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng, King Ning decided to send someone to take a look.

So, a group of men and horses entered the city first, ready to negotiate the terms, and then surrender and take over the city.

However, this army had just walked under the city gate, bows and arrows flew on the city gate, and a team of men and horses rushed out of the city gate, chopping melons and vegetables for a while, and completely annihilated this army!

King Ning, Li Shishi, and Liu Yangzheng were shocked, and hurriedly ordered the army to rush out to rescue the team, however, the people had already withdrawn to the city, and Anqing City became the difficult city again. They fought in a frustrated manner.

Not to mention, this scolding battle actually had an effect, and there was a response from the city.

However, this response made them a little dumbfounded, but it turned out that the surrendering official was actually on top of the city, and he was thrown directly from the city, and then a person's head fell off.

King Ning was a little dumbfounded, what's the matter, could it be that all these heads belong to that army? However, he saw that there was a river of blood at the city gate! Wouldn't those sergeants lie there waiting to be buried? Who are these people?

At this time, the patriarch of Ma actually shouted loudly, and this confirmed that it turned out that these heads were all the family members and relatives of the surrendered official, and they were served in one pot!

But it turned out that the patriarch of this horse actually thought of an extremely shady trick, that is, to send someone to clean up the official's family and relatives, and slaughter all of them, in order to boost morale, not to mention, the people and soldiers saw such a ruthless method, knew the consequences of surrender, all of them were terrified, frightened, and swore an oath to protect the city to the death, and their morale was greatly boosted for a while.

But King Ning suffered stubborn resistance and was unable to capture Anqing at all, and for a while, he had nothing to do.

In this way, Anqing actually guarded.

When Liu Daxia heard this battle report, he was naturally overjoyed.

However, at this moment, suddenly, there was a shout from behind the account, "Happy! ”

In an instant, Liu Daxia's face changed greatly, and he screamed in shock, "There are assassins!" ”
