Chapter 49: The Chinese New Year is approaching

Returning to the battlefield in Northern Vietnam, Chen Qi was seizing a village in the north. At present, Lancang's army had controlled less than one-third of the area. Chen Qi was confident that Lancang would not be able to attack in a year and a half, but the French army

As the founding monarch of Lancang, Ang had rich experience in this, so their initial target was Yuebei Prefecture.

Li Zhengju also led his troops to Yuebei, but he did not find the whereabouts of the Lancang Army, so he thought that you would eventually attack Yuebei Prefecture anyway, so I would wait for you in Yuebei Prefecture, so Li Zhengju set out one kilometer away from Yuebei Prefecture.

When setting up camp, Li Zhengju had his own opinions on the transportation of grain and grass. He could not always choose to go on the same road, but had to choose a different route every time. Once the grain and grass were taken away, morale would be greatly reduced.

On January 5, the 23rd year of Zhizheng, Lancang troops came to Yuebei Prefecture. The Lancang army fighting in the northern villages was a cover to attract Chen Qi to abandon Yuebei Prefecture. But what he didn't expect was that even if he didn't do that,

, Chen Qi will still withdraw from Yuebei Mansion.

The Lancang army surrounded Yuebei Mansion in an instant. Fa'ang planned to make some adjustments and launch a strong attack on the city. Of course, all their actions were exposed to Li Zhengju's eyes, and Li Zhengju was also prepared to come to the rescue. After all, even Ott

Mandu appeared on the right occasion.

Li Zhengju also imagined the scene after saving Vietnam. Chen Qi would personally thank him and then return to Champa in person. Zhi Pengya would look at him with admiration, so he couldn't help but feel happy.

Suddenly someone interrupted his thoughts and pulled him back from his dream.

"General, the Lancang army has begun to attack the city." A soldier who reported the news rushed in hurriedly.

"Why are you panicking?" Li Zhengju said calmly.

"Continue to follow up and observe, and let me know if anything happens."

"Yes." The soldier then went down.

Vijaya

Businessmen are constantly sending battle reports back to the country. Now everyone may be literate and have money in their pockets, and they are all discussing the war. Some people are even betting on who can win the war.

On November 31st of the 22nd year of Zhizheng, Chang Yuchun conquered Huai'an, crossed the Huaihe River, and marched into Xuzhou along the Yellow River. Wang Baobao expanded his territory and Timur was also ready in Xuzhou to confront Chang Yuchun, a fierce general of the Ming Dynasty.

One touch.

On December 4, the 22nd year of Zhizheng, Wang Baobao and Chang Yuchun had their first confrontation. In order to protect Xuzhou, Tuohuan Timur asked Wang Baobao to directly lead 100,000 Yuan troops to station in Xuzhou, basically destroying all the local Yuan troops in Shandong.

After all, the disparity in strength was too great. However, in order to defend Chen Youding and Chen Youliang, the country could not provide more troops, so Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to withdraw from Xuzhou, and then asked Liao Yongzhong to mobilize half of the ships.

, coupled with the new ships entering the water, led by Fu Youde, stopped the expansion of Timur in the Yellow River to cross the river.

In the battlefield in western Zhejiang, Li Wenzhong, who was originally on a harassment mission, also switched to attacking when Tongzhou fell. Huzhou was led by Deng Yu in the attack, and Hangzhou was besieged by Li Wenzhong himself.

Zhi Peng'a was very interested, so he continued to read down, but there was nothing below. Okay, this is the end of reading. Zhi Peng'a took the battle report away, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Let's make a newspaper and make money.

, Bah, enrich people’s entertainment life.

So Zhipengya called officials and asked him to go to Panduranga to find a suitable person to take charge of this matter. In addition to publishing the latest news at home and abroad, the news should also have an entertainment section. For example, a poet wrote a poem

, after writing an article, it can be published in a newspaper and receive royalties after review. Of course, novels are also an indispensable section.

On January 6, the 23rd year of Zhizheng, Lancang's army stormed Yuebei Prefecture, consuming nearly 70% of Yuebei Prefecture's guard force. Fa'ang's 5,000 men also suffered more than 800 casualties. Fa'ang also made adjustments quickly.

Prepare to take over Vietnam in one fell swoop in a few days.

Chen Qi naturally also knew the news that Yuebei Mansion was besieged. During this period, he had gathered more than 3,000 troops, which were strong enough to fight Lancang. He was now on his way back to Yuebei Mansion.

Vijaya

Zhi Peng'a was still surprised that after so long, there was no news about Li Zhengju. If it weren't for the fact that the grain and grass were still moving, Zhi Peng'a would have thought that Li Zhengju had been killed by the army of some big country.

Recently, the General Manager has also been sorting out national income statistics. Last year, with the help of the arms trade, the income increased many times. Next year is a more promising year. At the end of the year, the census will also be carried out. In addition to Puliango, other provinces and townships

There are all officials in office. As long as everyone reports the population situation, the number of people in the province can be easily counted. The appointment of officials in Priango has not yet been completed, so the census is naturally a troublesome point.

So Zhi Pengya sent the idle officials to Puliango to count the population.

There is no way, it is already the end of the year, and it is normal for the country to have nothing to do. Guangdong looks like it is about to celebrate the New Year. As for other countries, although they are influenced by Chinese culture, the only Southeast Asian countries that actually celebrate the Spring Festival are Dai Viet and Cham.

Po, in fact, Champo originally did not celebrate the Spring Festival, but after Zhi Pengya took office, he felt uncomfortable not celebrating the Spring Festival, so he made the Spring Festival a legal holiday.

The whole Champa is full of joy, and there are a lot of people in the market. After all, it is normal to buy some new year's goods during the Chinese New Year. This has also caused a large population flow. People who originally moved to Binh Chi and other places have also returned to their hometowns.

The businessmen who took office also returned home one after another, preparing to start the business of the next year after celebrating the New Year.

Of course, there are exceptions. The Khmer people in Priango do not celebrate the Spring Festival. In addition, they have just suffered the devastation of the war, so they look much deserted. Most people are repairing their own houses. Those who have repaired them are also employed by government officials.

, went to repair the city wall. Zipengxiao provided a lot of money for Priango's post-war reconstruction. Therefore, the reward for repairing the city wall was very generous, which made the pockets of the locals a little easier.

On January 10, the 23rd year of Zhizheng, Fa'ang attacked Yuebei for the second time. By this time, the city wall of Yuebei Prefecture was in ruins and completely unable to resist Fa'ang's attack.

At this time, Chen Qi was still 5 kilometers away from Yuebei Prefecture, and it was expected that the urgent march would take half an hour.

"General, the city wall of Yuebei Prefecture has been broken, and the enemy is about to invade Yuebei Prefecture."

Li Zhengju opened his eyes and said: "Get ready to go."

Outside Vietnam City

Fa'ang shouted: "If you work harder, you can capture Yuebei City. Glory and wealth are waiting for you. Soldiers, charge forward. Capture the governor of Yuebei Prefecture and make him a knight or marquis."

This sentence gave everyone a thrill, and they climbed up the city wall even more violently and attacked the city defense.
