The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

Even after many years, when Shang Chanchan thought of July in the fifth year of Xuanwu, she still felt a little breathless.

The entire capital is like a black cloud pressing down on the city.

Everyone feels the haze personally.

On July [-], reports of Fujian's defeat spread to Beijing.

On July [-], the king of Nan'an County was escorted to Beijing.

On July [-]th, news came out from the palace that the Supreme Emperor intended to exchange marriage for peace in Fujian.

On July [-]th, the night of the Ghost Festival, the Taishanghuang fell ill again, and he has been unable to speak since then.

On July 22, Wang Ziteng returned to Beijing under the imperial decree. He passed through Nanli County, where he suddenly became seriously ill and died there.

On July 29th, the Supreme Emperor passed away, and the country was mourned, and the world was ruined.

The entire July, in Shang Chanchan's memory, was like an avalanche, with overwhelming snow and ice rolling down, wrapping everyone in it.

Now let's talk about July [-]th in the fifth year of Xuanwu.

The battle report sent on the second day of July has only one amazing result, and the report sent on July [-]th is the complete process.

During the 24 hours in the middle, the lights in the imperial city were brightly lit, and everyone from the emperor to the smallest official who wrote the six books never slept.

Many years later, the Battle of Southern Fujian recorded in historical records is as follows:

"Xuanwu five years, June 29th.

Xie Yu, governor of Fujian and Guangdong, said to the crowd: "Fengshan City is the capital of rebels and puppet, and it is extremely well defended."It is the most taboo for military strategists under the strong city.

Now that we have been dealing with him for more than a month, we should pretend to retreat.Taking advantage of tonight's order and thieves' negligence to attack secretly, this is Li Yan's entry into Cai's plan. '

So the army retreated, only General Xie led more than a thousand people to turn back at night and rushed to the city.

The thieves celebrated their victory and drank to their heart's content. General Xie led his troops down with a drum, and the rebels fled in a hurry.

So far, the destruction of Fengshan City can be described as the first military exploit in the southern Fujian campaign.

If you act according to the plan, the land in southern Fujian should be determined.

However, Zhou Heng, the king of Nan'an County, and Zhou Qiong, the commander-in-chief of Zhenhai, delayed their fighters and were unable to respond in time. As a result, General Xie and other thousands of soldiers were trapped by tens of thousands of enemy bandits and fought bloody battles in Fengshan City.

In the end, the four cities in the east of Fengshan City in southern Fujian were lost. "

It was the fourth day of the seventh month in the fifth year of Xuanwu.

Shang Duo and others stood in front of the imperial court, listening to Geng Zhongwen, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, explain the matter with trembling voices.

Xie Yuce had originally arranged it clearly.

He led people to raid Fengshan City, and Zhou Heng and Zhou Qiong brothers supported him.

Once Fengshan City is captured, the rebels will only have Fucheng left, and they will no longer be able to respond with troops. It will be a matter of time before they are driven to sea.

The plan went well too.

Xie Yuchu had led his troops to stay outside Fengshan City for almost two months, and even pretended to attack the city several times.After delaying these days, and retreating as if they had no choice but to retreat, the rebels would be convinced.

They sang and danced that night, and even set up a banquet.

So much so that when Xie Yuce led the troops to make a surprise attack, it went very smoothly, taking down Fengshan City in two hours, and ran away a few clever deputy leaders of the rebels.

However, when he was rectifying his troops in Fengshan City, he did not wait for the Zhou brothers to come to support him, but instead he waited for tens of thousands of troops from the Nanshao and Nanwo kingdoms.

Not only did Nan'an County King not send troops to reinforce Fengshan City to replace Xie Yuchu, but he withdrew his troops and handed over the four cities to the east of Fengshan City.

Of course, Zhou Heng didn't suffer from insanity, nor did he commit treason. He also had unspeakable difficulties.

He had been in Fujian for eight years, and he thought he managed the place pretty well.

Who knew that the leakage was like a sieve, even the base camp where he was stationed, Jingxi City had a large number of spies and rebels.

He was in the barracks just as he was preparing to dispatch troops to support General Xie, when he saw someone crying and reporting: Nan'an County Prince's Mansion was surrounded by traitors.

Holding a torch and a weapon, the traitor threatened, "If Zhou Heng dares to send troops, he will burn down the palace of Nan'an County, and let his two daughters be buried with him."

No one knew what kind of ideological struggle Zhou Heng had gone through, and no one cared.

Everyone only knows that in the end, he stood still and trapped thousands of soldiers including Xie Yuchu in Fengshan City.

The original good situation was reversed immediately, and the Nanshao and Nanwo kingdoms drove their troops straight into Fujian.

In fact, General Xie is a person who makes decisions before acting. He didn't trust the Zhou brothers: firstly, he didn't trust their character, and secondly, he didn't trust their ability.

So he placed two of his four most trusted lieutenants under the two brothers of the Zhou family.

However, Zhou Heng is not good at doing things, and he is very good at bad things.

He made up his mind to stand still, and he did not forget to immediately put Xie Yuchu's people under house arrest, lest they disobey and go out to fight.I'm afraid that the rebels will go crazy and really burn down his palace and kill his daughter.

It is difficult to have both the family and the country.

Zhou Heng finally chose home.

Even if he knew that he would face the emperor's furious Longyan after returning to Beijing, the whole family might suffer.But he can't just watch his daughters fall into the hands of traitors.

He has been away from home for eight years. When he left, his youngest daughter was still a child. Now she is a slim girl, and she admires him as a father.

In the past few months, father and daughter have been together day and night.

Just yesterday, the two daughters gave him a set of brand-new and exquisite summer daily clothes and boots made by themselves.

He knew the madness of these renegade pirates.

If they insisted on sending troops, they would not only burn down the mansion, but even enter it to burn, kill and loot.

Then what his daughter will suffer is definitely not a simple and innocent death, I am afraid that she will suffer all kinds of humiliation, and she can't ask for death.

Zhou Heng hated him so much that his heart bleeds.

He had no choice, he only had to think about what his two daughters were going to suffer, and he couldn't give the order to send troops.

So he ignored the bloody soldiers in Fengshan City and the civilians who were caught in the flames of war in Fujian.

He just rode his horse back to the palace, confronted the rebels in front of the gate, and asked them not to hurt their relatives.

At that time Zhou Wenran was sitting in the mansion, hugging his crying sister.

She understood that because she and Zhou Jingran belonged to her daughter's family, the rebels didn't directly break into the palace and take hostages - this dynasty attached great importance to her daughter's maiden name.If they fell into the enemy's hands and ruined Qingyu, it would be the same as killing them.

So the rebels didn't dare to do this, for fear that the agitated Zhou Heng would send troops to march.

Just outside the house.

This gave Zhou Wenran the freedom to act.

She was also the daughter of the boudoir, and she was rarely out of two schools.

But now she finally made up her mind to hand Zhou Jingran over to her nanny.

She went straight out alone, and under the horrified eyes of all the servants, she came all the way to the middle gate, facing her father across a rich gate.

In Zhou Wenran's hand, he still held a sharpened sword that he took from the Nan'an County King's study room, with a cold light.

She stood still inside the door, pretending to be afraid, and said: "Father, don't abandon your daughter." The rebels were trying to confuse the outside.

But inside, he held a sword and forced his servants to spread oil quietly everywhere in the mansion.

She made up her mind, lit the fire with her own hands, and set the entire Nan'an Prince's Mansion on fire by herself.

When the rebels found out, the flames were already raging, and they had no time to rush in and take the hostages.

Fortunately, Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is from a family of military generals, and he always likes to leave a tunnel in the mansion.

Zhou Wenran and Zhou Jingran were not burned to death alive, but escaped unharmed.

Zhou Heng was outside the mansion, looking at the flames, his eyes were tearing apart.

Then he ordered people to shoot and kill a group of rebels who were besieging the palace, and then they rode back to the capital camp and dispatched troops to Fengshan City.

However, at this time, twelve hours had passed since he had discussed with Xie Yuce.

Zhou Qiong didn't expect his elder brother to do such a thing.

He vomited blood angrily on the spot.

He wished he could divide his force into eight parts, and finally managed to defend the three cities west of Fengshan City from falling into the enemy's hands.

However, Fengshan City has been completely surrounded, and he has no more troops to reinforce General Xie.

Even because of Zhou Heng's actions, Zhou Qiong's subordinates almost caused a mutiny.

At least Xie Yuce's two lieutenants didn't have the slightest trust in their surname Zhou.

He brought two teams of troops to Fengshan City to support his general, and did not listen to Zhou Qiong's command at all.

If the general order fails, the whole Fujian will become even more chaotic.

It can be said that Zhou Wenran's move was a hundred times better than her own father's.

If she hadn't made such a decisive decision to set fire to the Nan'an Palace and force the Nan'an County King to send troops, I'm afraid Fujian would not lose the four cities.

Even the entire Fujian region, including Xie Yuce himself, will be involved in this battle.

Even so, during the twelve hours of fighting alone, General Xie was still hit by an arrow in his right arm and was seriously injured.

It was the night of June [-]th when the battle report was sent out, and the military doctor was still treating General Xie urgently at that time, let alone getting him on horseback to command the battle, even his life was in danger for a while.

Fujian can be said to have no leader.

Fortunately, Xie Yuce had already explained to Zhang Yizhen, the commander in chief of the town of Guangdong, that if there was any change in Fujian, he would immediately deploy defenses and rush to help.

The two have a close friendship and have fought side by side in the past.

At this time, with him coming to sit in the township, Fujian was barely stabilized, so that it would not be completely defeated.

However, Zhang Yizhen came here for emergency because of his interests.

Besides, he doesn't want to take such a big blame!

And once the enemy breaks through Fujian, needless to say, the next one will definitely be his Guangdong.

He sits in someone else's house, in case something happens to his own land, isn't that tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall?

So he handed over a letter, saying that the military situation in Fujian was urgent, and he begged the emperor in tears to transfer a general to take over Xie Yuchu's post.

After Geng Zhongwen finished explaining the current situation in Fujian, the entire imperial study room was silent.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Shang Duo had to muster up his courage before he dared to speak.

"Your Majesty, transfer General Xie back to the capital. This matter is not his fault. Fujian is not suitable for medical treatment. If the illness is delayed and General Xie dies, it will be a great pain for the country."

The emperor frowned, and finally nodded: "Tell him to come back."

However, after this incident, although Xie Yuce had no faults, he was absolutely useless.

Originally, according to his plan, this would be a battle that would be accomplished in one battle. Taking Fengshan City as a base, the rebels and the armies of the two countries could be driven back to the sea within a few years.

Then he became famous, returned to Beijing with honor, and became a noble.

The rest of the finishing touches, just let the son do it, but also accumulate military exploits and increase his resume, which is the best of both worlds.

Who knew that the king of Nan'an County would kill him!

After all, he is the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, and he is the commander-in-chief. He has to bear the leadership responsibility for this matter.

If he hadn't managed to defend Fengshan City desperately, half of Fujian would not have fallen into the enemy's hands.This time back to Beijing, I have to be demoted and questioned.

Don't even think about any credit.

Xie Yuce really didn't expect that it was Jingxi City, where the king of Nan'an County stayed for eight full years!It can be managed like a sieve.

He actually let the rebels stay in the city, and surrounded his palace!

If this hadn't really happened, even if someone had told him in advance, Xie Yuce would not have believed it.

In the past, they only thought that Nan'an County King's military strategy was mediocre, and he could not make meritorious deeds, but could only defend his achievements.

It is only now that I understand that Zhou Heng is not mediocre at all, he is not good at all!

Really not as strong as his teenage daughter.

But money is hard to buy. I knew it earlier.

General Xie, who was lying in bed with a high fever, no matter how regretful he was, it would be useless.

The author has something to say: I want to say something that has nothing to do with it.

My job is as a doctor.

So I would like to remind everyone who reads the article to avoid taking the subway or bus as much as possible recently, try to avoid crowds, wear masks correctly when going out, wash hands frequently, and ventilate frequently.

Safety comes first, I hope everyone is safe and well.
