Yang Fan's army continued to advance, and the steam bulldozers opened the way in front. The huge rumbling sound, and the shaking of the earth, made both the Jurchens of the East China Sea and the Sauron people terrified. They all secretly called Uncle Dingyuan.
For a man of God.
In their view, only gods can use magic to drive these fire-breathing, smoke-breathing monsters made of steel. They are made of steel and iron and push away all obstacles.
They watched in horror as the huge steam bulldozer tore down all the rocks, frozen soil, and trees in front of them.
These things rolled and were discharged from both sides of the shovel, forming two low walls. The people following behind dug drainage ditches. The steam rollers behind made the road surface extremely smooth. A fifteen-meter-wide road was built in this way.
Out.
Almost, they were building roads while walking. The speed of building roads was actually faster than walking. It really opened the eyes of these savages. At this time, coupled with sufficient food and logistical supplies, these people were completely convinced.
In their opinion, Dingyuan Bo was far more worthy of following than that Huang Taiji.
Yang Fan and his wife would not leave the warm car. Although the polar RV moved very slowly, in order to maintain the speed of the walking army, they could only drive slowly.
Yang Fan was sitting cross-legged on the floor, working on the folding kang table, handling various tasks related to power generation in the territory. Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru assisted him in doing some secretarial work. Yang Fan also intended to train them to familiarize themselves with government and military affairs.
Chen Xi was dealing with various matters requested by her research institute. Although she was marching, her work did not stop at all.
Sometimes she tilts her little head and solves equations while thinking.
Yang Fan was also convinced by her. She had already studied the college mathematics, physics, and chemistry courses given to her by herself. She was currently studying the subject of mechanical manufacturing. Yang Fan was not as powerful as her, and he was a real academic master.
With Yang Fan's academic qualifications, he didn't understand advanced mathematics at all. But Chen Xi was able to learn by himself. He also had to sigh that the gap between people is determined by birth. It cannot be made up by the efforts of the day after tomorrow.
The people below came up with a telegram. After Yang Fan took a look at it, his eyes widened in shock.
"Master, what's wrong?" Xiao Niangpi curiously came over to take a look, and then her little mouth also formed an O shape.
"What, His Majesty wants to lead the expedition in person, am I right?"
Lin Yueru was also shocked. This, this, this, what is going on, the emperor is so crazy.
The telegram clearly stated in black and white letters that 150,000 troops had been assembled in the Beijing camp. They left the capital yesterday and were traveling through Tongzhou, Jizhou, and Zunhua. They were preparing to leave the Great Wall at Da'ankou to find the main force of the Jiannu slaves for a decisive battle.
Donglin and other faction officials tried to dissuade him to no avail. His Majesty went his own way.
Dingxi Marquis Jiang Bingzhong was appointed as the admiral of the military affairs of the capital camp, and also in charge of the military, money and food affairs. Sun Chengzong was added to the part-time job and was responsible for the defense coordination of Beizhili.
Yang Fan quickly found a map to check. Based on the intelligence, he marked the locations of various Qing army units. Although Yang Fan was three thousand miles away, thanks to the thousands of elite reconnaissance cavalry sent by Duolun City, he always had control over every move of the Qing army.
A day's movements.
"Here, His Majesty will definitely rely on Zunhua to go out of Da'ankou and set up military formations outside the mouth. The most likely place is Lama Valley." Yang Fan said while looking at the topographic map.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru also put their heads together to look at the map.
"Master, is it because this is a large plain area in Ningcheng County, and the army can move away?" Xiao Niangpi asked.
"Yes, in the valley three hundred miles north of Da'ankou of the Great Wall, there is only a large plain. This plain has Ningcheng County on the east side, Yuanbao Mountain on the north side, and Lama Valley on the south side. It is more suitable.
The army will fight in a decisive battle." Yang Fan said while touching his chin.
"Then what should we do? Everyone in the Beijing camp who can fight has been squeezed out. If they fail, the slaves will directly break through the barrier and enter the Great Wall. The first to bear the brunt will be Zunhua City, and then our territory." Lin Yueru was worried.
said.
"There is no way, we can't do anything. We can't get involved in the things over there. We can only make our territory strong and clear, and shrink into the castle. Our castle is strong and they can't defeat it. They can only sack the villages and towns."
Yang Fan smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you really think that if others can do it, I can do it too. Fighting is not that simple. Forget it, we can't stop it, let's arrange our own affairs."
"Master, not far ahead is the mountain city of Maoming'an. We can't fight it." Xiao Niangpi said, pointing to the mountain city on the map.
"Fight, why not fight and keep them for the New Year? Since the Maoming Anbu chose to follow Huang Taiji south, they are our enemies. Send the Jurchens from the East China Sea over to destroy the Maoming Anbu." Yang Fan said.
Xiao Niangpi also nodded, and she also agreed to fight. After a long march, they finally began to meet various forces on the northern edge of Jiannu. From now on, the army will advance all the way south. Fight every one they see and eat them all.
Yang Fan continued: "Spread out the Jurchens in the East China Sea, with a guard of 5,600 people, and divide them into seven lines to sweep forward. We will personally lead the Jia Ding camp and three regiments of infantry as the central army, and lead 20,000 Solon tribes, and the Jurchen tribes in the North Mountains along the
Advance along the center line."
Subsequently, the military order was issued, and all the East China Sea Jurchen tribes left the camp one after another. These East China Sea Jurchens were organized according to the Ming Dynasty's small flags, general flags, and hundreds of households. Each hundred households sent a servant to supervise and convey orders, and their chief was responsible for command.
For households with more than 100 households, the chiefs of each tribe serve as chief officials. Above them, there are also first-level officials of Qianhu and Wei.
During this time, the Jurchens of the East China Sea ate well and slept well. They were already gearing up for a big fight. Yang Fan gave them new weapons. Spears, shields, leather armor, scimitars, horned bows, and three eyes.
Guns, etc., were all captured from fighting in Mongolia and the northwest.
Yang Fan has no use for these things at all, and has been hoarding them in large quantities in the warehouse. Now they are all shipped here and distributed to them. In their opinion, these are all good things. They can't put them down one by one.
Now the Marquis of Dingyuan gave an order, and these people excitedly left the camp and headed south to search forward. The Jurchens from the East China Sea and the Jurchens from the West China Sea had many exchanges, and they knew that there were cities, villages, and camps in the original hometown of the Jurchens in the West China Sea.
is clear.
Now that they have reached the northernmost boundary of the Jiannu's sphere of influence, they quickly got into the excitement of robbery. In the eyes of these savage tribes, the purpose of fighting is robbery. Without spoils, no one is willing to fight.
The villages (villages) in these places are all small in size. Generally, there are only fifty or sixty households, and the larger villages only have a population of two to three hundred households.
The Jurchens of the East China Sea soon continued to divide their troops, and hundreds of households searched and looted all the way to the south.
