rebirth [rebirth]

On December 1th of the first year of Dachen, Wuhe occupied the whole territory of Harvey Tower and Domuji.The next day, Wuhe's army approached Yong'an, Chen Shengzhi fled from Changxin Palace in a hurry, and more than [-] Chen elite soldiers escorted him to Luoping Shuntian Camp.

On December 22, Chu Jun regained the remaining three southern counties except Fengyu, and formally announced the restoration of Da Chu based on the central and southern four counties.

On the same day, Wuhe broke through the Tantai Gate, the west gate of Yong'an, and [-] troops entered Yong'an, the thousand-year-old capital, without hindrance.

Yong'an has gone through six dynasties and has been prosperous since ancient times. Until this cold winter day in the first year of Da Chen Shuntian, she was bullied by foreign cavalry like a young child.

How sad.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze had already returned to Guangqing at this moment, and they were counting soldiers and armaments. Regardless of Chen Shengzhi who fled to Luoping, now Rong Jingxuan's Da Chu is the most powerful and has the strongest force.

In the early morning of this day, he received such two battle reports.

The first is that Chen Shengzhi used the three counties of Luoping, Yekang, and Haizhou as his forces, changed the capital of the Great Chen Kingdom to Luoping, and continued to proclaim himself emperor.

The second is that Emperor Wuhe Limin honored Li Xian as the emperor, restored the reign title of Yongyan, took December 24 as the first year of Dachu Yongyan's new calendar, took Yong'an as the capital of the country, and Changxin as the palace, and re-established Dachu.

On the same day, the Inner Palace issued the first imperial decree, first appointing the head of the Wuhe clan, Amur, as the regent on the grounds that Emperor Min was suffering from old illnesses.Then A Sheng, the great witch of Wuhe, was established as the national teacher of Da Chu, and the next year, a platform for worshiping the sky was built in Yong'an North, so that the national teacher could pray for Da Chu and sacrifice to heaven.

As soon as this move came out, there was an uproar in the court.

The people in Da Chu knew what was going on, but they were very unwilling to be ruled by a foreign race like this.

Although the name of the country is still Da Chu, and the name of the year is still Yongyan, but the people hope that Emperor Yongyan will die quickly, so that the group of barbarians in the northwest can no longer find an excuse to rule this great country.

The 37th year of Da Chu Yongyan, or the first year of Da Chen Shuntian, or the current first year of Da Chu Yongyan's new calendar, is destined to be an eventful year.

Rong Jingxuan opened the battle report, quickly read it up and down, and threw the booklet on the ground in anger.

"Shameless! Absurd!"

He cursed under his breath.

Zhong Qi and Ning Yuan [-] immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, calm down."

Xie Mingze sat beside him, but he didn't move, he just patted his hand: "Okay, get up, this time the news came in time, very good."

The two still didn't dare to move, they still knelt on the ground straight.

Rong Jingxuan glanced at them, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's all get up, the order will be held in half an hour, and everyone will come."

Only then did Zhong Qi and Ning Yuanshi get up quickly, and retreated out.

Only Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze were left in the room.

Seeing that he kept his head down for a long time without speaking, Xie Mingze thought about it, stood up and sat on his lap.

"Jingxuan, don't be angry, it's not worth it." Xie Mingze hugged Rong Jingxuan and gently followed his back.

Rong Jingxuan was stunned by his rare initiative, and even forgot those bad things for a moment, just hugged Xie Mingze's waist tightly, and buried his head in his arms.

"Aze, I don't want a father like this, that would be a disgrace to the Rong family."

Xie Mingze followed his long hair, and said in a low voice: "Jingxuan, the father has died for the country, the one in Changxin Palace is not real, isn't that what you said?"

Rong Jingxuan sighed: "I can fool others, but I cannot fool myself."

Ever since he could remember, he didn't have any good feelings for Emperor Min. As he became more knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he felt that Emperor Min was not a competent father, let alone a competent emperor.

He was ashamed of Emperor Min, Rong Jingxuan was even very happy when he handed over the big Chu to Rong Jingxuan and disappeared.

Just disappear, don't come back.

That's what he thought.

However, Emperor Min never made him really happy, and he returned after not being gone for a full year.

But it came back in such a shameful and corrupt way for the Rong family's ancestors.

"Even if the history books say that I am unfaithful and unfilial, I will write back the long letter and drive those barbarians out of Yong'an, so that they can no longer dominate Da Chu." Rong Jingxuan said through gritted teeth.

"Okay," Xie Mingze lowered his head and kissed him lightly on the forehead, "Okay, that's right, I will stay with you, and I will never leave no matter where I go."

Rong Jingxuan raised her head, accurately caught his soft lips, and then kissed him with all her strength.

"Dachu is our Dachu, and Changxin is our home."

"Aze, we will go home together."

On December 25, the regent Amur ordered the governor of Beier County to return to the court, but Beier County refused to obey the decree. On the same day, the gate of Fengcheng was closed, and the guards did not leave the city.

On December 26, the Chu army officially declared war on the Chen family, and directly attacked Luoping under the order of Ping Guochao.

Three days later, on December 28, General Chu Jun Lu Jiming led an army of [-] to Luoping County.

Chen Shengzhi originally had two generals, one was Sun Zhao, and the other was Yan Wentao.

Now that Yan Wentao died in battle and Sun Zhao returned to the enemy, he had no choice but to order Sima Ning, the left general who had been guarding Yong'an with elite troops, to be the general to lead his troops to fight against the enemy.

There were less than [-] soldiers left in Dachen, and there were not many weapons left. Most of them were wounded soldiers who narrowly escaped from the Battle of Yingqiu, and they couldn't go to the battlefield at all.

The construction of Shuntian Camp in Luoping only started in April, and it was only half built by December. Only the outer walls were repaired properly, and many of the barracks inside were uninhabitable.

After Chen Shengzhi came to Luoping, he didn't enter the city at all, and went directly to the Shuntian camp.

At any rate, there are all his elite troops here, and most of the troops drawn from Lu Ming's camp are here. To put it bluntly, Rong Jingxuan will take Yekang and Haizhou down first. It won't take a few days. But Rong Jingxuan pointed directly at Luo Ping.

He didn't want Chen Shengzhi to live through this year's winter, he wanted Da Chen to completely disappear from Da Chu's territory.

So Rong Jingxuan's military order to Lu Jiming was: "Regardless of the consumption of weapons, break the camp as quickly as possible."

What he meant was very clear. The firearms could be used openly. Although they only had two cannons today, the power of these two cannons was not small.

So Lu Jiming was not ambiguous at all, all the way to the front of the Shuntian camp, he fired two cannons without hesitation, only to hear the deafening explosions resounding in his ears, and the half-collapsed camp of the Shuntian camp was in front of him. Door.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze were standing on the last chariot, watching the Shuntian Camp fire from a distance, and it became a sea of ​​flames in an instant.

After two rounds of cannon fire, the camp was in a mess, and all the hastily built barracks collapsed. Most of the soldiers were injured by the shock and fell to the ground dying.

Chen Shengzhi stood there blankly, beside him was his most trusted Zhongshu Ling Sheng Zhongxiao, and at the moment when the shells hit, General Sima Ning was also injured and was sitting by the side for the military doctor to bandage.

Sheng Zhongxiao looked at Chen Shengzhi's pale face, and said in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty, this place is not safe, we have to retreat quickly."

Chen Shengzhi turned around and looked at him, and saw that he was indeed very anxious, and he was genuinely worried about himself.

"Zhongxiao, why are you still willing to follow me?" He asked in a low voice.

When he fled from Changxin in a panic, no one was willing to follow him except Sheng Zhongxiao and Sima Ning.Not to mention that Da Chu's original civil and military officials were not very loyal to him, but the loyal ministers who were born and died with him in the founding of the country did not stand up.

From that moment on, Chen Shengzhi finally woke up from Changxin's resplendent dream.

But that was too late.

His great power collapsed in an instant, but in the end he allowed foreigners to enter Changxin, show off their power in the Central Plains, and bully the people.

Chen Shengzhi was unwilling and resentful, but there was nothing he could do.

He has only 1 soldiers that he can really use, and he can't let the wounded soldiers go to the battlefield again. He has no one to use.

Mingming Sheng Zhongxiao can stay in Yong'an, hide his name and save his life, and Mingming Sima Ning can lead his troops directly to Rong Jingxuan, and continue to be a general like Sun Zhao.

But they all chose to follow him. No matter when he walked out of the village in common clothes, or fled out of Yong'an in fancy clothes, they didn't leave.

Sheng Zhongxiao silently looked at the pale Lord, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty may not remember, when you passed by our village, you saved the lives of my minister and my mother."

Chen Sheng was taken aback, he turned to look at him, and the memories of the past slowly came back to life.

At that time, he had just led a few thousand soldiers, and when he was ambitious, he would always help those people find some food when he passed by a small village that had been hit by a disaster.So he grew stronger all the way, and finally kicked out the Rong family who had been sitting on the dragon chair for more than 200 years.

When did you meet Sheng Zhongxiao?It seems to be that small town by the river, Sheng Zhongxiao is a lonely student who failed the exam for a long time, and he gave a bag of food to the Sheng family who had no rice and no cooking at home.

At that time, Sheng Zhongxiao was grateful and expressed his willingness to work for him by his side. He still remembered what he said to Sheng Zhongxiao at that time.

He said: "I want the common people to have enough to eat. The wish is as simple as that."

That was really his dream and his long-cherished wish.

His wife, children, and parents all starved to death because of lack of food, and he also set up an uprising for this reason.

Chen Shengzhi suddenly burst into tears. He could no longer remember the appearance of his wife, nor the immature smiling faces of his children, but he still remembered the harmony and beauty of the family.

He looked at Sima Ning, who was covered in blood, and then at Sheng Zhongxiao, who was still calm and self-retaining, and suddenly said: "We are not leaving, General Sima, tell the soldiers not to go out. As long as Chu Jun comes in, as long as he does not resist, he should will not die."

Shocked in Sheng Zhongxiao's heart, he lost his voice and shouted: "Your Majesty!"

Chen Shengzhi reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Zhongxiao, you have worked hard for the past six months. If you stay here with General Sima, Chu Jun will not make things difficult for you."

Now he still has a simple and honest smile on his face, no different from the commander in civilian clothes back then.

For that sentence, Sheng Zhongxiao followed him through mountains and seas of fire, and finally came to Yong'an.

Although Yong'an's splendor and wealth captivated Chen Shengzhi's eyes, Sheng Zhongxiao always had hope that he would wake up one day and fulfill his promise back then.

"Your Majesty...Zhongxiao Sansheng is fortunate to be His Majesty's minister. Since I have followed you all the way here, let Zhongxiao accompany you to the end."

Chen Shengzhi was stunned. He stared at Sheng Zhongxiao seriously for a long time, and finally stretched out his arms to hug this big Chen's Zhongshu Ling.

He is Da Chen's loyal minister and also his Chen Shengzhi's loyal minister.

"Zhongxiao, put on your armor and go out with me to meet Rong Jingxuan."

Sima Ning was about to get up to stop him, but unexpectedly Chen Shengzhi ordered his soldiers to stop him: "General Sima, Shengzhi hopes that you can follow Emperor Chu and beat those barbarians from the north out of Yong'an."

"My country is vast and cannot be trampled by foreigners."
