- When the Jiange was broken, the Badong defense line originally run by Li Shimin also had big problems.
There were originally 80,000 people on the Badong Defense Line. After Li Shimin moved westward, only 50,000 were left. Among them, there are 40,000 people in Kuizhou alone, under the unified command of Hou Junji, the general manager of Kuizhou. The remaining more than 10,000 people are stationed in Nanpu Prefecture (Wanzhou), Linzhou (Zhongzhou), Yuzhou, Fuzhou, Shi States and other places can be said to be top-heavy and light-footed.
Li Shimin had no choice. He did not have enough troops, so he had to follow Kuizhou.
Badong is naturally dangerous. After the Ming army occupied Badong and Zigui counties, the Ming army and the Tang army each occupied half. Li Shimin had no choice but to use Wushan and Wu Gorge as barriers and stationed along the river.
But this itself is flawed.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????Although the mountains are heavily rocky and rugged, there are almost no roads to pass through. But here we rely on hunting for a living. There are many hunters trekking through the surrounding mountains and ridges, and there are countless trails in the mountains.
Although these roads are inaccessible to large troops, they are already convenient for small groups of Ming troops to penetrate.
After the Jingxiang War, the Ming army sent thousands of soldiers to infiltrate the Badong Mountains. On the one hand, they carried out sabotage and disrupted the order of Badong. On the other hand, they sent people to secretly recruit the powerful families in the Badong area to destroy the Tang army's will to resist.
For more than half a year, dozens of Badong barbarians have secretly surrendered to the Ming army.
Therefore, the Tang Army's defense line seemed to be as stable as a mountain, but in fact it was riddled with holes.
Li Shimin was not clear about this, but he had no good way to stop it. The barbarian forces value the word "profit" in everything. They don't understand the policies and sinister intentions of the Ming army between you and him. It depends on who gives you more benefits. If we compare resources, the Ming army can provide far more than what Li Shimin can provide.
At the beginning of August, the local powerful people headed by Ran Anchang, the general manager of Shizhou, secretly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
It was also Li Tang who was unreasonable and forced Ran Anchang to rebel.
Originally, Kuizhou, including the northern part of Shizhou, was Ran Anchang's territory. When Li Tang conquered Ran Mingze, he also made Ran Anchang the governor of Kuizhou, which was regarded as recognizing his rule.
However, the Kuizhou area, as the gateway to Bashu and controlling the Yangtze River waterway, was too important to Li Tang, so Li Tang never gave up infiltrating the area.
After the Battle of Jingxiang, Li Tang lost the possibility of attacking and had to defend passively. Kuizhou became the forefront of the battle with the Ming army, and its importance immediately became unparalleled. Under this situation, if Kuizhou is allowed to be in the hands of an outsider like Ran Anchang, then Li Tang is simply seeking death.
Therefore, Li Shimin, who returned to Bashu, immediately reported to Li Yuan, transferred Ran Anchang away, and completely took Kuizhou into his hands.
Li Yuan was also very aware of the importance of Kuizhou, and immediately dispatched tens of thousands of troops to Kuizhou.
Kuizhou is Ran Anchang¡¯s hometown for a long time, so of course he is not willing to let him give up. But his arms couldn't hold his thighs. No matter how strong Ran Anchang was, he was still a rich man and couldn't stop the army, so he had to endure this.
Li Yuan also knew that Ran Anchang was dissatisfied, so he gave him the title of Shizhou General Manager as compensation.
But Shizhou is closely connected to the Ming Dynasty's territory on both sides, and it is the place where the Ming army's frontier points. Moreover, although Ran Anchang's power in Shizhou is not small, there are also many big families who are dissatisfied with him. If Ran Anchang wants to control Shizhou, he doesn't know how much effort it will take.
??????????????? It would be better in peacetime, but the war between Ming and Tang Dynasty is about to begin. Is Ran Anchang willing to be arranged here?
This is asking the Ran family to serve as cannon fodder for them. Ran Anchang is even more dissatisfied with Li Yuan.
??????????????? If this is the case, Ran Anchang may not be able to bring about the Ming Dynasty, but later Li Shimin managed the Badong defense line and constantly asked the powerful forces in Badong to send troops and food. As the largest family in Badong, the Ran family naturally received a larger share.
Of course, each family was unwilling to send troops, but Li Shimin became ruthless, or in order to resist the Ming army, he ignored it and ordered the army to attack and destroy more than a dozen families that were unwilling to send troops or food, which completely shocked every family in Badong. .
?? And Ran was bleeding heavily.
And in order to prevent each family from falling to the Ming Dynasty, Li Shimin ordered each family to send their legitimate sons to Baidi City to act as guards, in fact, as hostages.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
For Ran Anchang, Li Tang's repeated advances are intolerable. They don't rely on Li Tang for their livelihood, so why should they be exploited by Li Tang in this way.
Therefore, it is a matter of course to turn to the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty treated foreigners much more excessively than Li Tang. Just like in Lingnan, if one surrendered to Li Tang, one could become a native emperor, while those who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty would have toHe is a wage earner, but Mr. Ran doesn¡¯t know.
I just feel that the Celestial Dynasty is better than a small force like Li Tang.
Huang Weiyang has been in Jiangling. He received the news of Ran's secret surrender and took it seriously.
The entire southwest region is full of powerful families. If the Ming Dynasty wants to manage the southwest, it is impossible not to deal with the powerful families in these places. The Ran family is the leader of the powerful Badong team and an important member of the powerful team in the southwest. Daming's attitude towards the Ran family will directly affect the attitude of the powerful team in the southwest.
We will clean up these powerful forces in the future, and now entering the southwest is the most important thing.
So Huang Weiyang gave the Ran family great respect, personally received the Ran family's envoy, and generously presented officials, titles, money and materials. This was a gesture that completely reassured the Ran family.
At this moment 7 5zw*.com Zhang Si. On the one hand, the Li family was pressing harder and harder, and on the other hand, the Ming Dynasty was offering generous gifts. Of course, the Ran family was on the side of the Ming Dynasty. As for a legitimate son, Ran Anchang would lose a lot.
In early August, Huang Weiyang sent an envoy to Shizhou and secretly appointed Ran Anchang as General Huaihua, Governor of Qingjiang County, Deputy Governor of Bazhou, and Marquis of Guihua in the name of the Ming Dynasty. He also appointed Ran Anchang's son Ran Rencai as General of Guide Zhonglang.
After the Duke of Military Merit and the Duke of Chengen, the Ming Dynasty established a naturalized knight who conferred the title of foreigner. Below the king's title, there are five levels: Guihua Gong, Guihua Hou, Guihua Bo, Guihua Zi and Guihua Male. There are also special official titles awarded to foreigners, and General Huaihua is the third grade conferred to foreigners.
This was also Huang Mingyuan¡¯s previous omission. The foreigners who surrendered must be promoted to a noble rank, but military merit knights could not be granted. These people did not belong to the Cheng'en Duke, so a new one had to be created.
强 牺     读 牺 。 But because it is specially awarded alien, it has nothing to do with most people, so no one cares.
Most of the rewards given to Ran Anchang by the Ming Dynasty were fictitious, and only one from Qingjiang County was a real official.
Although it is similar to the official title given to Ran Anchang by Li Tang, the official in Ming Dynasty is far more valuable than the official in Li Tang, so Ran Anchang is extremely satisfied.
In this way, Ran Anchang secretly became a Ming official from a Tang official.
Control the big one and control the owl. Ran Anchang's subordinates were all members of the family, and they were loyal to him rather than to the Tang Dynasty, so there was no need to defect.
Huang Weiyang kept Ran Anchang's surrender secret.
He wanted to give Li Tang a surprise
