In November of the sixth year of Chunyou, the reinforcements of the Renaissance Army successfully arrived in Dengzhou. As soon as the reinforcements arrived, the staff headquarters quickly made a decision and divided the troops into two groups, one to raid Zhaoyuan to the west and the other to Muping to the east.
Wherever the army goes, it is invincible. With the roar of cannons, every city is invincible and invincible!
In December of the sixth year of Chunyou's reign, the main force of the Renaissance Army regained the entire territory of Laizhou. Countless people cried bitterly along the way and were so excited that they could hardly control themselves. After hundreds of years of foreign rule, they could now return to the rule of the Han people.
The Renaissance Army's lightning raid directly disrupted the Mongols' combat plan. At the same time, when other people saw the strong raid of the Renaissance Army, the Han people who suffered from the brutal rule of the Mongols in the Central Plains had other thoughts. For a time, the people of the Central Plains were ready to take action. .
The Mongols and the Han people were caught off guard by the Renaissance Army's blitzkrieg. It was fast, extremely fast. If it hadn't spent so much time on the road, the Renaissance Army would have recovered the Jiaozhou Peninsula even faster.
After capturing the Jiaozhou Peninsula, the Renaissance Army stopped its offensive and began to build defensive positions. All defensive positions were built to the highest standards.
The members of the Fuxing Society, who had been holding back for several years, were finally able to let go and go big. The members burst out with amazing enthusiasm. With the cooperation of various machines, they had the momentum of an "infrastructure maniac" in later generations, and the construction of various fortifications The progress is the same every day.
The Fuxing Society relies on overseas trade, and the large amount of wealth it has accumulated over the years can now be put to use. With crazy 'spreading money', countless people have responded to the call to join the infrastructure project.
Among the three states of Laizhou, Dengzhou, and Ninghaizhou, Laizhou is undoubtedly the top priority. It is the first line facing the Mongolian army's conquest. It is also the place where the most and densest fortifications are built.
Different from the temporary fortifications built in Dengzhou, the fortifications built in Laizhou are all permanent defenses.
The endless methods of the Renaissance Army shocked countless people. Not only the common people who were recruited to participate in the construction were stunned, but even the new recruits, those anti-Mongolian martyrs who claimed to be well-informed, were stunned and speechless.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year is here. According to Chinese tradition, the Spring Festival should be a day for family reunions. However, at this special moment, all members of the Fuxing Army do not have a holiday. Considering the power of tradition, the Fuxing Army still gives the opportunity to those who are recruited. They took a few days off, but some people coveted the high wages offered by the Renaissance Army and did not choose to take a vacation.
Because they didn’t know when the Mongolian army would arrive, everyone put all their efforts into building fortifications. The people did not want to return to the dark rule of the Mongols. The time under human rule was simply hell.
The discipline of the Renaissance Army is extremely strict. In order to realize the desire to regain the Central Plains as soon as possible, everyone not only has no intention of building any construction, but also actively extends the working hours. Regardless of certain geographical conditions, most other areas are working day and night. construction.
Faced with the Renaissance Army's blitzkrieg, the Mongols naturally did not react at all. However, firstly, Guiyou was unwilling to give up the upcoming victory. Secondly, the Han warriors were really at the point of breaking out after the last disastrous defeat. In terms of situation, it is already very good to be able to hold on to the existing territory in a short period of time. The third reason is because of the climate.
Taking all factors into consideration, the Mongolian side could only watch as the Renaissance Army continued to capture cities and territories and build various defensive positions.
Fortunately, the Renaissance Army made no further moves after capturing Laizhou, Dengzhou, and Ninghaizhou. Li Jie wanted to capture one or two more states, but external conditions did not allow it.
No matter how well-trained and well-equipped the Fuxing Army is, they are still made of flesh and blood. It is already very difficult to capture such a large territory in the freezing cold weather. Indeed, if the Fuxing Army uses full firepower, it will conquer several more states. Even recovering the entire Shandong East Road is not impossible, but what's the use if we can't defend it. This is the true portrayal of the Fuxing Army today.
The mind is full but the strength is not enough!
The preparation time is too short. The Mongolian army will attack at the beginning of spring, no, it may be before the beginning of spring. The preparation time of just one or two months is not enough to occupy so much territory.
Slow and steady is the way to go. There is no way to eat hot tofu in a hurry. The places that cannot be taken now will belong to them sooner or later in the future. The members of the Fuxing Society are extremely convinced of this. As long as they follow the steps of the president, drive out the Tatars, and dominate the world, it is only time. Just a problem.
Guyou has been very distressed by the Renaissance Army's blitzkrieg recently. He doesn't know how many people have suppressed the offer to fight. The key is that a new kind of speech has come from nowhere recently.
The firearms of the "Dengzhou Bandit Army" are too powerful, and the cost of a forceful attack is too great. It is better to recruit civilians to build the "Great Wall" to defend the existing territory and curb the opponent's expansion. As long as the opponent no longer attacks outwards, they will not Leave it alone.
This evil trend was first spread by Li Jie inciting the "traitors". Although Guyu also realized the harm of "Shenxian Powder", he was never able to formally take power. When he started to regain his power, he wanted to stop it. It's already too late.
Unless he seizes power from all the people who have taken the 'Shenxian Powder', there is no way to curb the spread of the 'Shenxian Powder'. But there are too many of these people, spread throughout the government and the public, so many that he does not dare to cut them all down.
If it were Brother Meng who was in power, Brother Meng would have had the courage to cut off his wrist. However, now that the Great Khan is Guiyu, he does not have the courage of Brother Meng. People who have taken the 'Shenxian Powder' have gradually begun to show a trend of losing their tails. .
Li Jie was indeed responsible for the negative remarks at the beginning, but the subsequent development was not due to him alone. Not long after he released this view, he discovered that there were other forces adding fuel to the fire. Let’s analyze it carefully. , it is not difficult to guess who was involved, including the Han princes and the Song Dynasty.
In the two battles of Dengzhou, the Han people were afraid of being beaten. Next time they attack the "Dengzhou bandits", they will be the first ones to attack. They must be the same group of people. The Han people all made their fortunes by fighting against the Jin Dynasty. I have finally accumulated so much wealth over the years, but I can't waste it all on the 'Dengzhou Bandit Army'.
This group of 'Dengzhou bandits' are different from the weak Song people. If the Song Dynasty is a lamb to be slaughtered in their eyes, then the 'Dengzhou bandit army' is a man-eating tiger. If they continue to attack, sooner or later one day No bones will be left that will be eaten by this tiger.
The Song Dynasty got involved simply because it wanted the Renaissance Army to attract the Mongolian firepower as much as possible. In this way, the pressure they faced would be much less.
