Since the Red Flag Army rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty on February 2, the day of the ninth year of Zhizheng, it has held a warm celebratory military parade every February 2. However, on February 2, the eleventh year of Zhizheng, for the second time
The celebratory military parade has undergone great changes.
On this day, the weather was not good, and there was a feeling of gloomy clouds. Suning, as the King of Ming, stood on the general stage, looking at the 400,000 troops under the stage, and suddenly felt a sense of indifference without sadness or joy.
"Commanders, set off!"
"King Ming is a thousand years old!"
With the tsunami-like cry of the 400,000 Red Flag Army, the 400,000-strong army marched south in five directions. Chang Yuchun led the 100,000 Red Flag Army, with the cooperation of 50,000 naval troops, to attack Hunan and Sichuan from Hubei.
Xu Da led the 100,000 Red Flag Army, with the cooperation of Fang Guozhen's 50,000 navy, and marched from Zhejiang to attack Fujian. Because the Mongolian Yuan had the greatest power in Fujian, there were not only huge Mongolian Yuan armed forces, but also a large number of Semu people entrenched in Quanzhou.
.
Zhu Chongba led 100,000 Red Flag troops from Jiangxi into the Guangdong and Guangxi regions and Yunnan and Guizhou, and stationed in Yunnan to guard the southwest Yunnan-Guizhou border, so that these areas would always be in the hands of the Red Flag Army. Of course, for what reason, only Ming Wang Suning and Princess
Mrs. Liu knows.
Suning is not worried that Zhu Chongba will become independent after running to Yunnan. In fact, Suning is eager for Zhu Chongba to do that, but Zhu Chongba cannot be such a short-sighted person. He cannot leave himself like a trapped beast in the southwest Jedi.
.
The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty currently has limited troops left in the southern provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and it is impossible to withstand the attack of the Red Flag Army. Moreover, the Red Flag Army still has the North-South Partition Treaty signed with the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, so it may really need to fight.
The battle is very limited.
The Red Flag Army advanced all the way south. Suning's prediction was correct. Both the Mongolian and Yuan defenders in Hunan and the Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yungui surrendered immediately. The places where the Mongolian and Yuan armies still resisted fiercely were in Fujian and Sichuan.
.
After Chang Yuchun captured Hunan, he immediately marched to Sichuan, and then with the cooperation of 50,000 naval troops, he quickly captured Chongqing again. For the fiercely resisting Sichuan Mengyuan garrison, under Suning's instructions, he slowly
At this time, we are not in a hurry to capture all of Sichuan, but strive to contain part of the Mongolian Yuan's strength in Sichuan.
When Fujian also encountered fierce resistance, Suning did not have such patience and ordered Xu Da and Fang Guozhen to attack Fujian. After occupying Quanzhou, they used all the Semu people there as ship slaves and built ships for the Red Flag Army for life.
Princess Liu saw more than a dozen Westerners being escorted into Jiqing Road by Xu Da's Red Flag Army, and looked at Suning in confusion, "Suning, what are you doing?
Why did you ask Xu Da to send back so many foreign devils?"
"Haha, Sissi, this is your fault.
These people are all your compatriots!"
"You bastard!" Ms. Liu then remembered that she was an American.
"Haha, I'm not kidding you anymore.
They are all missionaries from Europe, and I am ready to make good use of them."
"Missionaries? How are you going to use them?"
"Sissi, do you know the root cause of the demise of dynasties in history?" Suning did not directly answer Liu's question, but instead asked Liu a century-old problem.
"I don't know!" Mrs. Liu shook her head in confusion.
"Land annexation!"
"Ah? This problem is not easy to solve!"
"Yeah! It's hard!
But the Qing Dynasty’s method of apportioning one person to one mu could perfectly solve this problem.”
"Spread a small amount into an acre?"
"Yes! That means taxing is no longer based on head count, but based on the number of fields.
This requires us to know the number of all the fields in the country, which will inevitably need to be measured again.
However, China is a human society, and it is difficult to prevent collusion between the measurer and the person being measured. Even if we let officials from Sichuan go to Shandong to measure in other places, the same collusion problem will arise.
so....."
"Ah? I understand.
Do you want these foreign devils to help us measure the land across the country?"
"That's right! Anyway, no one understands the English spoken by these foreign devils, and they can't communicate with each other. It's just like chickens and ducks speaking.
But we, husband and wife, know English, so only we can understand the data measured by the foreign devils."
"Suning, you are so bad!
But if such a secret and important matter is handed over to foreign devils, aren't you worried about leaking national secrets?"
"Haha, what are you afraid of?
Just kill it when you're done with it!
Besides, the number of fields will be public information in later generations, but it is not as secret as you think."
...
The Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty courts, which were currently engaged in a tug-of-war with the Red Banner Army in Henan, were really struggling. When they heard that the Red Banner Army was attacking Hunan, Fujian and other places, with a posture of completely controlling the south, the Yuan Emperor became angry.
"Fushou, what on earth is going on?
Why did the Red Flag Army suddenly tear up the treaty and attack our Dayuan defenders?" Emperor Dayuan looked at Fushou, the special envoy of the Red Flag Army, with a cannibalistic expression.
"Your Majesty, the Red Flag Army did not tear up the treaty, because they were taking over the land of their Red Flag Army based on the division of north and south in the treaty." Fushou had to be prepared in his heart, so he seemed to be able to deal with Emperor Yuan with ease.
"What? Can it be explained like this?" Emperor Dayuan also widened his eyes in surprise.
"Your Majesty, our main target in Dayuan now should be the Red Turban Army in Henan. Now that they have attacked Shaanxi, we should continue to mobilize large armies to encircle and suppress the Red Turban Army.
As for the Red Flag Army in the south, let them stay in the south of the Yangtze River. In the end, they will still perish like the Southern Song Dynasty." Prime Minister Maha quickly went out to explain to Emperor Yuan.
"Prime Minister, what you said makes sense!"
Hearing that Prime Minister Maha compared the Red Flag Army in the south to the Southern Song Dynasty that was destroyed by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Yuan was very happy and felt that the appointed Maha was better than the original Tuotuo.
"Chakhan Timur!"
"I'm here!"
"I order you to be the Right Prime Minister of Shaanxi Province and the Privy Council Envoy of Henan Province. You will lead an army of 400,000 to annihilate the Red Turban Army within a month."
"..." Upon hearing the deadline given by Emperor Dayuan, Chahan Timur almost bit his tongue, "Yes! Your Majesty!"
The courtiers of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties were not surprised by the emperor's performance. In fact, the Yuan Emperor was too willful and did not know how to lead troops in war. He often made some low-level mistakes.
Chakhan Timur knew that the palace was not a good place to argue with the emperor, and no one should try to argue with the emperor, because it would be meaningless.
With the support of Xu Shouhui's 20,000 "elite soldiers", the Red Scarf Army once again exploded with astonishing power, occupying all of Henan and Shandong, and had already invaded Shaanxi and occupied Fengxiang and other places in Shaanxi, becoming the biggest threat to the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty.
The Shandong area was originally a buffer zone between the Red Banner Army and the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, so there was no decent army here at all. This made it easier for the Red Turban Army in Henan to occupy the Shandong area with almost no effort.
The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty saw the behavior of the Red Turban Army and were anxious in their hearts. They also wanted to organize an army to enter the Shandong area, but they suddenly found that all the Mongolian Yuan armies were dragged to Sichuan and Shaanxi. Even if they organized a small number
The army is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
"Haha, Marshal, our brothers made the right choice!
They occupied the entire Shandong area effortlessly, which is no worse than Hubei!" Ni Wenjun looked excitedly at Xu Shouhui, who had become the marshal of the Red Scarf Army.
Hearing Ni Wenjun's words, Xu Shouhui and others couldn't help but feel happy, because they were really proud, "Well! Our Tianwan Army has indeed stood up again, so we need to think about what to do next as soon as possible?"
"Marshal, I think we should develop to Goryeo next, because that is the paradise of our Tianwan Army." Chen Youliang glanced at his brother Zhang Dingbian, and then immediately suggested to Xu Shouhui.
"Goryeo?" Xu Shouhui and others were surprised.
"Yes! Goryeo!
Goryeo has always been the back garden of the Meng Yuan Dynasty. If we occupy Goryeo, we will indirectly support the Northern Expedition of the Song Emperor and the Prime Minister!"
"Yeah! Koryo is very good.
But we don’t have a suitable warship, so we can’t go to Goryeo!”
"Marshal, there is a Korean fleet that often appears in Jiaozhou waters. I mean I captured them by design.
Then organize some civilian ships. It will be easy for our Cheonwan Army to land in Goryeo, and the Goryeo army is very weak in force and is no match for our Cheonwan Army." Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian were also fully prepared for Xu Shouhui's concerns.
.
"During this period, I also studied the map of Goryeo and found that as long as our Cheonwan Army can land in Inchon, we can immediately put Goryeo out of control."
"Haha, okay!
I've heard that the women of Goryeo are as beautiful as gods, and I've long wanted to see them." Ni Wenjun laughed happily.
Hearing Ni Wenjun's lustful words, Xu Shouhui shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, and then agreed to Chen Youliang's plan to send troops, "Okay! Let's do it!"
From the beginning when Xu Shouhui left with an army of 20,000, he never thought about "working" for others. He always thought about his former throne, so after being accepted by the Henan Red Scarf Army, he immediately called himself Tianwan Army.
And always looking for opportunities to be independent.
This time they occupied the Shandong area without any effort. The Tianwan Army immediately exploded with troops. Although all the good soldiers in the Shandong area were taken away by the original Red Flag Army, the Tianwan Army quickly expanded to an army of 200,000.
So when they saw the weak Goryeo Bangzi, Xu Shouhui and other super fierce guys were like perverts seeing beautiful women. They couldn't stand it anymore, so they immediately thought of taking over Goryeo and becoming independent.
Not to mention that this move of the Cheonwan Army is really powerful. Goryeo has been influenced by the Central Plains culture for a long time, and has a strong ability to accept the Central Plains culture. It is far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains. Even if the Cheonwan Army stands on its own in Goryeo, no matter whether it is the Mongolian or Yuan Dynasty court
, neither the Red Scarf Army nor the Red Flag Army will attack them.
Chen Youliang had been coveting the Goryeo fleet for a long time, and then he and his good brother Zhang Dingbian calculated for a long time that their Tianwan Army really needed navy, and then began to slowly infiltrate the Goryeo fleet and set up a trap for the Goryeo stickmen.
A big picture.
During the Dragon Boat Festival in the 11th year of Zhizheng, a dragon boat race was held in Jiaozhou, Shandong. A mysterious rich man gathered all the brothel girls in Shandong to perform floats and parade through the streets on the day of the dragon boat race.
This was the first time this happened in Shandong. Not only did the people in Jiaozhou, Shandong go crazy, but even the Goryeo fleet cruising in Jiaozhou waters became excited and asked for leave to go ashore to watch the float parade and dragon boat racing.
The commander-in-chief of the Koryo Navy was also an old pervert. In fact, he couldn't hold it back for a long time. When he saw the excited soldiers of the Koryo Navy, he simply announced that all except the necessary soldiers left behind would have a day off.
Seeing the noisy gongs and drums on the shore on the Dragon Boat Festival, the Korean soldiers who stayed behind became angry, "Damn it! Why did the general arrange for us to stay behind?
It must be that he saw that we were unhappy and deliberately used tricks on us."
"Yes! There is no point in staying behind. We might as well watch the dragon boat race together!"
"That's right! Let's go secretly!"
Soon the soldier's proposal was unanimously agreed by the soldiers on duty, and then they left the ship together and went ashore to watch the float parade.
Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian, who were hiding in the dark, almost couldn't help laughing when they saw how strange the soldiers on duty of the Korean Navy were. After the soldiers on duty left, Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian led the Tianwan Army without any blood.
Received the Koryo Navy fleet.
...
Han Shantong and Liu Futong also heard that Tianwan's army captured the Goryeo fleet cruising in the waters of Jiaozhou area, and knew that Tianwan's army was thinking of marching into Goryeo, but they could only sigh helplessly.
"Prime Minister, these Hubei guys are so unjust.
He only knows how to eat meat and is not willing to contribute at all." Emperor Han Shantong of the Song Dynasty slapped the table angrily, expressing his inner disdain for the Hubei guys.
"Hey! It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married.
This is something we can't do anything about.
I think the Ming King of the Red Flag Army was willing to let them go, and thoughtfully gave them armor and weapons, maybe he saw this reason."
"Yes! Such a Mingwang is so weird!
First, the Tianwan regime was stripped of its skin and bones, and then some scraps of scrap metal were thrown out to get rid of Xu Shouhui's troubles.
This move is so fucking brilliant." When mentioning Suning, the Ming King of the Red Flag Army, Emperor Han Shantong of the Song Dynasty was also very angry.
"Haha, Ming Wang is not clever, how can he occupy half of the country in just one or two years?" Hearing Song Emperor Han Shantong's emotion, Liu Futong couldn't help but smile and said, "However, our Red Scarf Army must be grateful to Ming Wang and the others.
We can all see that he deliberately kept the Red Flag Army in a stalemate with the Mongolian Yuan Army in Sichuan, because Sichuan is too important to the Mongolian Yuan Army, and the Mongolian Yuan Army will definitely increase reinforcements, which indirectly puts less pressure on our Red Scarf Army.
.”
"Well! That's true!
King Ming asked his Jin Yiwei to send intelligence a few days ago. Chahan Timur is about to lead an army of 400,000 to attack our Red Turban Army. This time will be a big test for our Red Turban Army!"
"Yes! Whether our Red Scarf Army lives or dies depends on this time."
