Five hundred and forty-seven in order to survive (Part 1)
Taiyuan can be said to be one of the famous hard cities in Chinese history. Before Zhao Kuangyin died, he sent troops from all over the country to attack the Northern Han Dynasty. He died at the foot of Taiyuan City. Hundreds of thousands of people attacked him in turn, but he failed to capture Taiyuan City.
Maybe it might be captured, but Zhao Kuangyin died at that pass, the cause of death became a mystery, and the Song army retreated.
After the internal problems of Song were dealt with, Zhao Guangyi was eager to establish his position in the army after he won the throne of emperor. He led his troops to the north to Taiyuan for the second time. This time he finally won, but it was still very difficult to take.
Taiyuan's tenacity made Zhao Guangyi almost bleed, but behind the Song army was the unified Central Plains and Jiangnan, which was the power of a country. Taiyuan, as the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, had no potential to fight against Song, so Taiyuan was still taken down.
Zhao Guangyi was very angry about the huge losses, and at the same time he was still scared, so he ordered the fire to burn Taiyuan City.
However, Taiyuan City was an indispensable link in the configuration of the Song Dynasty's border defense front. Three years after the burning of Taiyuan, Zhao Guangyi ordered Pan Mei to build a new city in Tangming Town, 30 miles northeast of Taiyuan's ancient city.
Taiyuan now originated from that time, but Taiyuan is far from being as tough as when he resisted the Song army.
Taiyuan's tenacity and toughness made Zhao Guangyi, who failed the Northern Expedition, still frightened. In order to prevent Taiyuan, Zhao Guangyi ordered Pan Mei to make various small moves on Taiyuan New City, which greatly reduced the defensive effectiveness of Taiyuan City and could not be compared with the Northern Han Dynasty.
However, Zhao Guangyi could not have imagined that when the Jin soldiers invaded the south, it was the relatively weak Taiyuan City he had been guarding against, which caused the Jin soldiers to encounter almost the only setback. Taiyuan City insisted on not surrendering. In an isolated state of no help, the brave and tenacious Taiyuan City held on for more than 250 days and finally fell.
But ironically, although the situation was hopeless, Taiyuan garrison Wang Bing still led hungry and exhausted soldiers to fight in the streets. Finally, he broke through the siege of Emperor Taizong of Song, who was enshrined in the Taiyuan Temple, and the Jin soldiers chased after him with all their might. Wang Bing, who was shot in dozens of guns, committed suicide by throwing himself into the Fenhe River.
Zhao Guangyi probably never thought that he burned all over Taiyuan, but became a heroic warrior in the Zhao Song Dynasty who guarded him.
Although Taiyuan, after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, no longer had the same status as that influencing the country, its strategic position was still important. In order to prevent Mongolia, there were two in the nine borders in Shanxi. The Taiyuan city rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty showed signs of restoring its original spectacular momentum. Because of the stationed by the King of Jin, its political status was also improved.
In order to prevent the Mongols from going south, Wang Shiyang moved the King of Jin and his family to Qi County in the south to avoid the tragedy of Ningxia City being captured and fell by King of Qing and his family.
After the Ningxia Rebellion was pacified, although King Qing's youngest son was rescued by Xiao Ruxun and saved his bloodline, all the officials of all sizes who did not fulfill their responsibilities at that time were affected. After the war, Ningxia officials were shuffled and more than one of them lost their heads.
Wang Shiyang was rigorous and did not allow himself to encounter such a situation, so he first transferred the treasure of King Jin, and then carried out defense work in Taiyuan City. At the same time, he strictly restricted the entry and exit of people in Taiyuan City, because he was afraid that there would be detailed operations to enter.
Now that the Northern Gate is defeated, Wang Shiyang told the Taiyuan garrison before going north that the war had not ended and the war control could not end. Although no one was allowed to enter and exit at will, the residents in the city could be allowed to go out regularly and regularly every day, but he had to keep a close eye.
Soldiers are arranged to guard the road, and you cannot put the details in casually. Everyone who goes out must pass the name verification when they come back.
Liu Xi was well aware of this middle joint. He told Salike that with Taiyuan's city defense, if they were asked to close the city gate, no matter how many siege weapons the Beilu had, they would not be able to quickly take down Taiyuan. Taiyuan is really suitable for defense. They only have one way, which is to get into the team of Qiaocai.
Shulike shook his head at that time.
"What if I am found out? There are not many warriors under my command who can speak Chinese and are easily exposed. How can I get in?"
Liu Xi really wants to scold people.
"We are not going in, but we need to approach the city gate and kill the soldiers guarding the gate, so as not to let the Ming army close the city gate immediately after discovering it. At the same time, let the army hide in a hidden place. Once the city gate is started to grab the city gate, the cavalry commando will rush into the city as fast as possible!
The Ming army didn't know our existence. Although we were prepared, we were not so prepared. It took them a day or two for them to go out to pick them. Their defenses are far less stringent than the first few days. As long as our team can approach their city gate, they can suddenly attack!
As long as our cavalry enters, Taiyuan will be finished! We can directly break through Taiyuan City. Even if the Ming army wants to defend, they can only fight street battles with us. The defense facilities on the outer wall of Taiyuan City are of no significance at all. Taiyuan is actually taken down by us, and the king can do whatever he wants."
Shulike looked like he suddenly realized, and slapped Liu Xi on the shoulder, almost slapped Liu Xi to the ground.
"Hahahahahahaha! Military advisor, although you Han people have many idiots, you are also smart people like you. I am very happy! Hahahahaha!"
Liu Xi complained a few words in her heart, and then she made a smile in front of Tslik.
"I just hope that the king can let go of his grandfather and mother after he conquered Taiyuan. His grandfather and mother were all in Taiyuan City. He really doesn't want them to be hurt."
How could Tslik not agree?
"Well! OK! You are a filial son. Filial children are generally very loyal. I hope to see your loyalty. After the city is broken, I will give you a team of people. You can take them over and protect your family directly. I will also tell my subordinates not to hurt your family. How about it?"
Liu Xi was overjoyed: "Thank you, the king!"
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!"
After leaving the house, Liu Xi took a deep breath of the bloody air, and suddenly felt his legs and feet a little weak.
In order to survive, I killed many people. It is foreseeable that in order to survive, I will kill more people. Can people like me really continue to live? Can I really live after everything is over?
However, even if you don’t have to die well, you must take away those who have pushed themselves to this point before you die, and do whatever it takes!
Liu Xi began to plan. With his keenness as a regional leader of a business gang, he observed that when the Ming army arranged for residents of Taiyuan City to go out to pick woodcuts, they arranged special routes and escorted the army to monitor the army. However, because the pick woodcuts were relatively wide, in order to avoid blind spots in the field of vision, several pick woodcuts were specially arranged.
There was a team of about 600 woodcutters in each direction, and a hundred soldiers were arranged to escort and monitor them to ensure that every woodcutter residents would go out and go back standing. There would be no detailed work of the Beilu in the city. There were also ten cavalrymen who were in emergency response. They would escape back to report the news as soon as possible when they found that they were not good. They immediately closed the city gate to prepare for the battle to defend the city. People outside the city...
It doesn't matter.
In order to ensure the safety of Taiyuan, those people were abandoned, and to be honest, such an arrangement was very appropriate. If it weren't for the idea of burning all the jade, Liu Xi would not have taken the risk.
