Yunze watched coldly as the last Hebrew man was beheaded before his eyes. The bodies of the Hebrew men were lying around him. The People's Army suffered very little losses this time, but nearly a hundred people died in the battle.
The dogs jumped over the wall when they were anxious. Even knowing that they were going to die, these Hebrews also launched a desperate counterattack, even firing muskets indiscriminately, regardless of the life or death of their companions.
It's a pity that they don't have the will to die, and they don't have the courage to die together. Otherwise, they will probably cause more losses to the People's Army.
Yunze was actually not satisfied with the outcome of this battle. If the soldiers of the People's Army had experienced many battles, they would be elite soldiers in hundreds of battles. If such a battle happened again, there would be absolutely no chance of such casualties.
After all, 20,000 people surrounded and killed 10,000 people. Not only did our side have a numerical advantage, but they also had a huge advantage in weapons.
Yunze turned his head and looked in the direction of the Hebrew reinforcements in the distance. He did not send any more troops to pursue them. This battle consumed too much ammunition, and there was not yet enough ammunition to complete another attack.
But he still sent some scouts to detect the movements of the reinforcements. Once they had the intention of coming, he would definitely gather another army and eliminate them.
However, after this battle, it will be somewhat difficult to rely on new weapons to fight foreign enemies, which is not a good thing for Danyang City. After all, the current development is not enough to support the battle for too long.
At this moment, a scout quickly rushed to a place not far in front of Yunze on horseback. The scout immediately dismounted and saluted Yunze with a military salute.
"Sir, the 30,000 Hebrew reinforcements have begun to retreat, and the direction is towards Yongcheng..."
As the scout read out the information, Zhao Zhongyi and other generals on the side quickly looked at Yunze, their eyes filled with eagerness to try.
Seeing their expressions, Yunze laughed a little. These guys were indeed promoted by himself. They were all militants, and now they were just waiting for his order.
The 20,000 people's army here will definitely pursue those reinforcements as soon as possible. Even if they fight hand-to-hand with the opponent, they will never frown.
Although Yunze was absolutely sure that with the 20,000 people on hand and paying a certain price, he could definitely eliminate the 30,000 people, but the price would probably be the sacrifice of nearly half of the People's Army soldiers.
How could Yunze make such an uneconomical deal? Even if he wants to destroy the enemy, he must crush the enemy with a huge advantage, instead of injuring the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred to himself. His own accumulation is not much.
Speaking of which, Yunze was very lucky. At least, after this crisis in Danyang City, his nearly 200,000 troops had been tempered. Even if they faced no matter how bad the battle was in the future, they would definitely be able to adapt.
"Zhongyi, you take 10,000 people to Yongcheng. If they occupy Yongcheng, surround them first. Then, slowly deal with them. If they leave, you will capture Yongcheng. The current strength of Yongcheng There should be less than a thousand people.”
Yunze looked at Zhao Zhongyi and said.
He guessed that the Hebrews would eventually leave the mainland. Although they had 30,000 reinforcements, now that Shiren had been destroyed, they had no support and they did not dare to occupy Yongcheng.
Only if there is something wrong with their minds would they dare to stay in Yongcheng. However, Yunze is still a little worried. With the urine of Hebrew people, it is absolutely impossible for this matter to end like this.
But now he can only take one step at a time.
When Zhao Zhongyi heard this, there was a pity in his eyes. He made a military salute and quickly accepted the order and left.
When Yunze returned to Jiaxing, Yue Pengju had already captured all the surrounding prefectures. Except for the prefectures in remote places that had not yet sent troops to capture them, the entire Zhejiang, Yongbo, and Fan towns fell into Yunze's hands.
Now, in addition to the original Danyang City and several surrounding prefectures, Yunze now has six prefectures in the south, as well as the current Zhejiang, Yongbo and Fan towns.
The area he occupies is almost one-tenth of the entire Jing Dynasty. Further south is the territory of the South Vietnam Kingdom. It has not yet been included under the influence of Jingchao.
Going up, the area around Shandong Road and Tokyo was temporarily under the control of Li Zheng's Northern King, and then, further north, the Jin Dynasty was under the control of Tian Hu's Jin Dynasty. Now there are still several strands of power in the entire Jing Dynasty.
The northern king Li Zheng's territory was the largest. These territories included the Yanyun Sixteenth Continent, Henan Road, Shandong Road, Shanxi Road, and then the territory of King Kang and King Ming, as well as the territory of Fangla. Plus Yunze's Danyang Mansion territory.
As for the remaining prefectures and cities, almost all of them are attached to major forces. It's not that they didn't want to fight for hegemony. After the demise of the Jing Dynasty, they wanted to be big, but in the end they found that they couldn't do it, so they had to choose to surrender to a powerful force.
Just like the six cities south of Yunze's Danyang, they originally wanted to take advantage of the siege situation in Yunze's Danyang and take a piece of the pie. In the end, they recognized the fact and took refuge in Yunze.
What Yunze has to do now is to use time to digest the power gained. The first thing to do is land reform. Although, if this move is not done well, Yunze may fall into passivity.
It may even cause a backlash from the landlords. In history, many peasant uprisings ultimately failed because they violated the expediency of the landlords.
In the dynasties before the Jing Dynasty, people had to look at the faces of the noble families. If they wanted to conquer the world, they had to rely on the noble families.
However, Yunze has his own strategy. In addition to having a powerful army, he does not need to rely on landlords and aristocratic families to accumulate wealth.
Of course, the main reason was that Yunze asked Xian'er to start a cultural performance, and the audience was ordinary people. He wanted to use cultural invasion to subtly guide the people's thoughts.
You must know that in order to complete the land revolution, the support of the people is indispensable.
When Yunze returned to Danyang City, he made a special trip to the Propaganda Department where Xian'er was in charge. At this time, Xian'er was instructing the actors in their rehearsals.
This time the rehearsal was about the crow of the rooster in the middle of the night, and the actors on the stage acted very seriously. Their portrayal of the characters made Yunze look a little sideways. This was the script he gave to Xian'er.
Some changes were made. After all, the script had to be consistent with this era. If the original script was followed, there would be many inconsistencies. Although it has been modified, the effect is definitely not bad.
Only by highlighting class contradictions can the implementation of the Yunze plan be facilitated, and the land reform measure will also go much smoother.
Yunze did not use bloody methods to carry out land reform. In comparison, it was relatively mild. He would buy landowners with good character and bully the people with bad character.
This can range from land confiscation to severe punishments based on the evil deeds committed.
After the performance on stage, Yunze clapped his hands and applauded. He was very satisfied with everyone's performance, as long as they performed the scripts he gave them one by one. The expanded influence would make his plans smoother.
Seeing Yunze applauding, everyone looked over. The moment they saw Yunze, their faces showed surprise, excitement, but also respect.
After all, Yunze is the soul of the entire Danyang City and is equivalent to an emperor. Xian'er turned around, her serious expression suddenly turned into tenderness at this moment.
She walked over quickly and said to Yunze playfully: "Brother Yun, you are here..."
When everyone around him saw this scene, their faces were full of astonishment. No one expected that the usually serious minister could have such a gentle and feminine side.
There were three to four hundred people around, most of whom were newly recruited actors. What they had always seen was Xian'er's nonchalant, even cold temperament that made people afraid to approach him.
"Thank you for your hard work... Xian'er..." Yunze smiled at Xian'er. Xian'er stopped in front of Yunze. She originally raised her hands to hug Yunze.
However, she was a little shy in front of so many people. But his eyes were looking at Yunze scorchingly, and he didn't want to look away for even a moment.
"No matter how hard it is, I can work for Brother Yun. No matter how tired I am, Xian'er is willing to do it." Xian'er said to Yun Ze tenderly. She felt sweet when she heard that Yunze called herself Xian'er instead of Li Shishi.
Speaking of which, the name Xian'er carries too many sweet memories between her and Yunze. Yunze called her this, which made her feel that Yunze still remembered this love.
"This is a newly rehearsed play. Almost more than 600 actors from the Propaganda Department have already rehearsed it. Not counting the performance team, it can be divided into nearly fifty performance teams. Twenty of them have been sent out. The rest should be dispatched in the next few days."
Xian'er quickly reported her work to Yun Ze. Since she started this propaganda department for Yun Ze and helped Yun Ze rehearse these actors, Xian'er is no longer depressed and confused. The only pity is that I can't see Yunze often.
But thinking about the tasks Yunze gave her, she was very motivated every day. Therefore, she completed the task assigned to her by Yunze very well.
The twenty performance teams sent out are going to the six new cities in the south. They can complete the performance tasks in about two to three months. At that time, the land revolution will also be simpler.
The remaining thirty performance teams are responsible for Zhejiang, Yongbo and Fan towns.
"Xian'er, are you done? Why don't we go for a walk!" Yunze nodded to Xian'er and said with a smile.
He could feel the affection in Xian'er's eyes. Yunze was not his mother-in-law's wife. Since Xian'er had feelings for him, he didn't want to let them down, not to mention that she would also become his right-hand man.
Yunze doesn't want his right-hand man to end up marrying someone else. He is a common man.
"Okay..." When Xian'er heard this, she looked overjoyed. She seemed to have thought of something, and turned to Yunze and said, "Brother Yun, wait for me here. I'll be here soon."
After saying that, she turned around and ran backstage, where makeup should be. Xian'er is now bare-faced. Due to her intense work schedule, she has almost never worn makeup recently.
Thinking of going out with Yunze, she wanted to face Yunze in her most beautiful state.
The two maids on the side, Xiaocui and Xiaobing, covered their mouths and smiled. They blessed Yunze and quickly followed him in.
