Big city.
La Meixuan changed her name back to her original name, and was surprised and happy at the same time.
What surprised me was that Ming Dynasty was merciless and slaughtered Zhenla directly. What I was happy about was that Ming Dynasty did it right, and the countries in the southeast were frightened out of their courage.
In particular, the leader of the Luchuan Kingdom, who had killed the Ming merchants, sent an extra 20,000 people to join the coalition and promised to attack Yunnan.
Ava was so frightened that he released Ming Shang, but he was killed by Siamese soldiers, disembowelled and died horribly. Ava also sent 20,000 more people.
The three countries of Myanmar were forced to stop their troops and shared the same hatred.
Luchuan was still contacting Wushen, hoping that Wushen would backstab the Ming Dynasty, while Ava was contacting Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, asking the two countries to send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty.
However, Luchuan and Awa were not willing to use other countries to attack Yunnan.
They are all afraid that the false way will destroy Guo. After all, they are all feuds. Who can believe who?
La Meixuan discussed with Nuoyuan and Wali.
"The Ming Dynasty was so fierce, Zhenla was almost slaughtered!"
Nuo Yuan was horrified: "I heard from the news that it was the most elite Northern Army of the Ming Dynasty. It was a powerful army that could compete with the Mongolian cavalry."
"There were 200,000 people in total. They were massacred and then transferred away."
Upon hearing that such a powerful army was transferred away, La Meixuan breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly a shadow came over her: "What about the Northern Army and the Ming Army that defeated Zhenla, which one is stronger and which is weaker?"
"I heard from people who escaped over there that the Ming Dynasty's Northern Army was as good as ten, and it was said that no one could rival the most powerful army in the world."
Nuoyuan said: "The Ming army stationed in Zhenla is just mediocre and not a strong army."
"How is that possible? Brag!"
Wali was shocked. In their eyes, the Ming Dynasty's standing army was a strong force. How elite was it?
Immediately he sneered: "So strong, why were you transferred? Could it be that Ming Dynasty didn't know that all the countries had formed a coalition?"
"It seems that the Ming Emperor doesn't want the Northern Army to waste on this battlefield."
One sentence hits hard.
La Meixuan's face immediately darkened: "How can it be unreasonable? There are more than a hundred countries and millions of coalition forces, and the Ming Dynasty still doesn't take it seriously?"
Nuo Yuan didn't dare to say anything, but it seemed that he really didn't take it seriously.
Because the Northern Army did return north by boat, but the remaining Ming Army, in their eyes, was also a top army. They would definitely not be able to fight one against one, so they would have to replace three for one.
The only depressing thing is the lack of lead. I did buy some fire blunderbuss through trade last year, but the Ming Dynasty sells fire blunderbuss, but not moisture-proof lead.
You can buy it if you want, it's limited supply.
If you don't make enemies, you will be given. After you make enemies, nothing will be given.
They also want to imitate lead. It is easy to imitate the ones that are not moisture-proof. They cannot make the ones that are moisture-proof. Even the Western Yi people do not have this kind of lead.
There is no point in producing products that are not moisture-proof. The place where they live is already humid, and the lead will stink after a few days.
Siam sent people to sneak into Chenla and saw with their own eyes that the Northern Army was equipped with muskets that they had never seen before. They had a long range, high lethality, and were not afraid of water.
Why are they said to be the elite of the Northern Army? In such a hot place, they still wear heavy armor weighing thirty kilograms to fight. With the level of iron smelting of Zhenla, the sword they made broke when it hit the heavy armor with one blow. Where did the damage get to the Ming army.
In addition to heavy armor, they also carried waist knives, bayonets, throwing axes, heavy hammers and other equipment. Ordinary soldiers could not carry so many things. The Northern Army was fed meat. All of them were over 170cm tall and weighed about 130kg. , all strong men.
"The Ming Dynasty is so powerful, can this coalition divide the Ming Dynasty?" La Meixuan sighed.
Nuoyuan rolled his eyes, what are you thinking about?
Not to mention the heyday of the Central Plains Dynasty, even when it fell apart, they did not dare to extend their claws. Is Annan strong? Do they dare to expand their territory in the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty?
Siam's dominance in the southeast is already remarkable. Have we forgotten how Kublai Khan captured Burma and fought against it during the Yuan Dynasty? With any army, it defeated the powerful country in the southeast and even established the province of Central Myanmar.
That place in Myanmar is a place where strong soldiers gather, why aren't they being teased by Dayuan?
Today's Ming Dynasty is more ruthless than Dayuan. Dayuan wants money but not people. Ming Dynasty wants lives. Look at how Ming Dynasty treated Annan, Champa and Cambodia.
Cambodia was the most ruthless. If not many people escaped, they were probably massacred.
My scalp goes numb just thinking about it.
Ming people love to kill, what kind of character do they have?
"Your Majesty, we hope for ten years of peace in this war, as long as the Ming Dynasty stops expanding." Wali whispered.
La Meixuan's face suddenly darkened: "Vaqi Lawu, you didn't persuade me like this before!"
"You told me that if we drive away the Ming Dynasty, Cambodia, Annan, and Champa will belong to Siam!"
"Why have you changed your mind now?"
he is very angry.
If he just wanted to drive away Daming, why should he be the one who stood out?
How nice it would be to have the King of Laos take the lead.
Wali and Nuo Yuan were too scared to speak.
No one expected that the Ming Dynasty would be so ferocious. They would massacre Zhenla without any hesitation. Even if a war was imminent, they would openly transfer their elites away!
What does it mean? It’s obvious that you look down on other countries!
Ming Dynasty suddenly showed his sword, shocking all countries.
The Zhenla people were not fools. How could they be killed by the Ming army while standing, and they were scattered in the mountains and forests. What would be the result?
Then, after the slaughter was over and the blood was not dry, the immigrants began to immigrate. Looking at the immigration boats, Siam felt his scalp numb.
That's not tens of thousands of people, but millions of people going to Cambodia.
Those people were happily eating Chenla's food, sleeping in the house where Chenla once slept, and playing with Siamese women. How could there be any justice in heaven?
What could Siam do to stop Ming Dynasty?
How about a soft persimmon and real wax?
Chenla was so soft that even Siam could not occupy their territory, let alone the extremely powerful Ming Dynasty.
"That's it!"
La Meixuan knew that riding a tiger was difficult. Even if she begged for mercy now, the coalition would not agree without first explaining whether the emperor would agree.
"First send people to appease the King of Laos. Don't let the King of Laos have any dissent and surrender to the Ming Dynasty before the battle."
This is right.
The three countries of Myanmar have not yet felt the terror of the Ming Dynasty and will not withdraw from the alliance.
But Laos is so close, how can we not be afraid?
"It's best to persuade the Indian countries to send troops. You can promise them more money and let India send troops."
La Meixuan thinks India is a powerful country.
Anyway, there are dozens of countries in India, just pay to hire them.
Nuo Yuan also felt that it made sense. Han Xin ordered troops, the more the better.
"These countries have agreed to send troops in March, but it's already March and no one has sent troops!"
La Meixuan gets angry whenever she mentions it.
Taking advantage of the chaos in Cambodia and defeating the Ming Dynasty, Siam can take the opportunity to annex Cambodia.
But these rubbish countries are not trustworthy!
Nuo Yuan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's not that all countries are dishonest, but that each country has its own difficulties."
"There are savages in every country. We need to be on guard against savages and the rebellion of the people."
"Originally, the military equipment of each country is not strong, and there is no experience in fighting in other countries. Now that troops are suddenly sent to the big city, the army is probably not willing to do so. This kind of emotion needs to be appeased."
"Besides, you have to spend money to mobilize troops. Countries may seem wealthy, but in fact they are unwilling to spend money on armaments."
In the final analysis, there is still a glimmer of hope for everyone who has not been hit by Ming Dynasty.
Besides, the citizens of these countries are already lazy. They can hide and avoid things like war. It is impossible to mobilize them immediately with an imperial edict like the Ming Dynasty.
How can any of these rubbish countries have a strong country and strong military?
"You only see their difficulties, but not the difficulties of Ming Dynasty?"
In the past two years of trade, La Meixuan also had a rough understanding of the Ming Dynasty, and said angrily: "The richest part of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan, is at war, Guizhou is at war, and the north is at war. There are wars everywhere."
"There is not enough food to eat, but the people in heaven are hungry, haha."
"Isn't it difficult for Ming Dynasty?"
La Meixuan was a little angry.
Nuo Yuan rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is actually fighting wars, but these wars were started by the emperor for the purpose of redistribution. The military and the poor support the emperor. As long as the emperor calls a halt, the Ming Dynasty will immediately be at peace."
"Besides, it's because of the war that we have a chance."
"What if there is no more fighting within the Ming Dynasty? How can we form a coalition? We can just surrender!"
La Meixuan didn't want to listen to Daming anymore. If he continued to listen, he wouldn't dare to fight this war.
Then he returned to the war: "The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for us! We must fight it quickly!"
La Meixuan was a monarch who worked hard to govern and was very foresight.
But don't forget that Siam is a powerful country in the southeast, but other countries are not, especially Ava and Bago. The two countries have exhausted their national power and are now nothing more than a fake tiger.
Laos was frightened by Ming Dynasty.
Maritime countries such as Mansika, Balni, and Johor are even worse and have not yet completed their evolution.
The opponent is still the terrible Ming Dynasty.
The residual power of Zheng He's voyages to the West is still there. Now that the Ming Dynasty has made a comeback, countries are not only afraid, but at least they know that this person is the common master of the world. After all, he often pays tribute.
The most important point is that after defeating the Ming Dynasty, Siam can occupy territory, but they will get nothing, so they are not very active.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The rainy season is very unfamiliar to the Ming Dynasty, but we have lived here for generations. They cannot mobilize troops during the rainy season, but we can. This is actually an advantage."
What Wali meant was that human life was worthless anyway, so to attack Xinyizhou during the rainy season, it would be better to leave a major epidemic behind and let all the Ming people die of the disease.
"I think it's okay."
Then decide to send troops during the rainy season.
La Meixuan didn't care what his soldiers thought, he was going to win anyway.
And in Xinyizhou.
Qi Shun, Bian Yong, Pan Benyu and others temporarily served as the chief officials of each palace. The moment they captured Xinyizhou, they began to collect prisoners.
Especially women, there were many bachelors among the people who moved here, so the women were given as concubines to those who cut the most trees as a reward.
Calculate the fixed property in the city, keep the good ones, and distribute them to those who work hard.
Cutting down trees to build houses is a top priority.
Let’s get through the rainy season first.
Each city is also building military camps and establishing garrison posts. Some people from Xinyizhou will be selected to build garrison posts based on the Guangxi Army.
When the good news reached Jiaozhi, all the officials in the prefecture and county went to Xinyizhou.
The lower-level clerks are promoted from the disabled in the army, especially the city patrol troops, who must first be placed with retired soldiers from the army.
The framework was erected first, and then the population was taken in, the grain in the fields and the grain hidden in the cellars were harvested, and granaries were built to store grain as reserve grain for New Yizhou.
Each person was given a batch of rations when setting off from Cochin.
There is definitely not enough food, and the center has shipped some spare food from Jiangnan.
Officials from various places encouraged the newly arrived people to collect non-toxic leaves and store them as vegetables to eat when food was scarce.
The weather here is hot and there are many fish. You can catch a lot of fish and dry them into dried fish for later use.
Just survive the rainy season.
Most of the officials came from the last two majors, while the civil servants were candidates and scholars, all of whom wanted to make a career.
Xinyizhou is under military control. Guo Deng is temporarily the governor of Xinyizhou, and Li Zhen and Ou Xin are deputy governors, taking orders from Yu Qian.
Although Guo Deng is a general, he has a poet's heart.
He was courteous to scholars and understood politics, so he did not dictate the governance of Xinyizhou and just let the prefects of various places do what they wanted.
After receiving the imperial edict, the first order he issued was to have game collected and stored for use as military rations.
They also asked people to take wood from the local area and build bamboo rafts so that when the rainy season comes, they can row bamboo rafts to catch fish.
Xinyizhou will provide food and drink for six million people.
This is a painful problem.
Fortunately, the sea route is open, so even if the rainy season comes, we can still transport some food and provide some supplies.
The hardest part is the first rainy season. Once you get over it, life will get easier.
The emperor didn't give any strict orders, he just asked him to do his best. It was impossible to guarantee that a person would not die. That was a slogan.
Therefore, before the rainy season comes, they cut down trees, build houses, and stock up on food like crazy.
Laos.
Pangha received the Zhenla battle report and couldn't sleep for several days.
Fear, boundless fear.
The Ming Dynasty was so brilliant that all four million people in Chenla were slaughtered. Which civilized dynasty could do this?
They fought against each other until they conquered the capital, but the Ming Dynasty was better off, and the country was completely destroyed, leaving no one alive.
Doesn’t this just show how strong the Ming army is!
It is unreasonably strong, especially the firearms, which are simply terrifying. During the massacre of Cambodia, the Northern Army used firearms to massacre the city.
Laos now has only two neighboring countries, one is Ming Dynasty and the other is Siam.
Thinking with your toes, you should know who to fall to.
The problem was that Ming had no conscience and was ruthless and decisive in his actions, which frightened him and worried that he would be slaughtered if he surrendered to Ming.
He saw the rapid changes in Jiaozhi.
What was it like when the Ming Dynasty first occupied Jiaozhi?
I still made good friends with the natives huddled in the forest. Two years later, where have the natives gone?
How much of such a huge forest is left now?
The Ming people were like locusts, cutting down the forest in an instant, and then captured the natives to use as slaves. City after city rose from the ground, and roads were built.
The sight of Laos, so close at hand, makes my heart tremble.
Therefore, with a hot head, he was persuaded by Siam to drive out the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, make enemies with the Ming Dynasty, form a coalition army, and prepare to attack the Ming Dynasty.
Indeed, no imperial edict was sent from the Emperor of China, and Jiaozhi did not send troops to attack Laos.
But the news came that Chenla was gone, and the country of four million people was gone.
This is the Ming Dynasty's answer. It is better to have broken jade than to make it whole.
Whoever dares to provoke Daming will suffer this.
He also heard that for this massacre, the most elite Northern Army of the Ming Dynasty was mobilized, and the Northern Army was transferred away. Knowing that the southeastern countries wanted to unite, the Ming Dynasty did not care and transferred the elite troops away.
It's clear that you look down on other countries.
Pang Ha was really shaken. He wanted to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and ask the Ming Dynasty to reward him with a royal title so that he could continue to enjoy it.
But the Ming Dynasty did not send anyone. Instead, Siam sent envoys to lobby Pangha.
The envoy only said one word to persuade Pangha to give up the idea. The Ming Dynasty called Lao people Lao barbarians and treated them as slaves. However, the great emperor regarded the title as a treasure and the foreign barbarians as fat sheep. Do you still dare to send them to the door? ?
Daming did not say that, but he did it.
Pangha didn't dare to bet. Anyway, Laos has a high terrain and is full of mountains. At worst, if you go inside the mountains, you won't be able to find us even if you cut down all the trees.
He sent people to inquire about the news and found that Ming Dynasty had no intention of sending troops at all, but was focused on construction.
This great emperor is also a strange person.
Other emperors would be done with it once they were defeated. Who would care about the life and death of the people, nor would they be hostile to other ethnic groups.
Emperor Jingtai, on the other hand, did not build it after the construction was completed, all at his own expense, just to be managed by the foreigners into the mainland.
In recent years, they have also had business dealings with Damingduo.
I also heard about the emperor's character. The emperor didn't love beauties or enjoyment, but he loved maps. According to rumors, he looked at maps in the palace every day and always felt that the maps were imperfect.
Recently, maps have been drawn on the title pages of books, including Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures and other books, all of which have maps of the Ming Dynasty.
The most damning thing is that when you draw a map of the Ming Dynasty, it’s just a map. What do you mean by including Laos? Not only Laos, but also 148 vassal states are all on the map of the Ming Dynasty.
Pangha knew at that moment that the emperor really coveted land and was as greedy as a madman.
But when he saw the small Jiaozhi and so many people moving there, he wanted to die. Ming Dynasty would never let Laos go.
Therefore, when Siam encouraged him, he immediately responded and decided to send 300,000 troops.
And in Guizhou.
The imperial edict was transmitted to the territory of each chieftain, and Xiang Wenyao forced each chieftain to send troops according to the size of each chieftain.
Among them, the Yang family in Bozhou has 10,000 people.
They must be elite, not the old or the weak.
In the prefectures east of Duyun Prefecture in Guizhou, the chieftains have been razed, and the Guizhou army has expanded to 230,000 people.
Yue Zheng, Xiang Wenyao, Tao Cheng, and Li Kuang divided their troops and each defended one side.
Be prepared for toast rebellion at any time.
Originally there was Zhao Fu, but the imperial court wanted to fight against Wu Liangha, so Zhao Fu was transferred away.
Zhao Fu was also unlucky. He had been in Guizhou for two years and had not made any achievements. As soon as he left, Guizhou was about to go to war.
Shuixi'an clan and Bozhou Yang clan did not accept the order and refused to send troops south.
On the contrary, the Shuidong Song family, after careful consideration, sent eight thousand elite troops to cooperate with the Ming army in going south.
There are only three major chieftains left in Guizhou, and the most powerful one is the Yang family in Bozhou. Bozhou was included in the territory of Sichuan. In the eleventh year of Jingtai, the emperor was transferred back to Guizhou.
The second is the Shuixian clan, and the third is the Shuidong Song clan.
Yue Zheng and Xiang Wenyao discussed and decided to attack the Yang family in Bozhou first, then the Xi'an family in Shuishi, and finally the She family in Yongning.
He also ordered the Song family in Shuidong to send 50,000 troops to help the Ming Dynasty pacify Bozhou.
As soon as this news came out.
The Shuidong Song family exploded directly.
Do you think the Song family is a fool? They use Song's soldiers to attack Bozhou. After taking Bozhou, they then conveniently destroy the Song family?
Song refused immediately.
Yue Zheng sent letters to the Song family several times, not only in his official capacity to persuade, but also wrote private letters to persuade the Song family, promising that the court would not forget the kindness of the Song family.
The Song family later regretted it and wanted to bring back the eight thousand elite soldiers who had gone south.
Yue Zheng knew that the Song family would not send more troops, so he would do the next best thing and ask the Song family to use Wujiang Pass.
Tao Cheng wants to take Wujiang Pass, take the most difficult route, and push Bozhou flatly.
Wujiang Pass is in the hands of the Shuidong Song family.
Song thought twice and agreed to pass through Wujiang Pass. He also wanted to see the strength of the Ming army. If the Ming army was too strong, he would surrender. If it was not strong, he would block the Ming army's retreat and really rebel.
Xiang Wenyao also constantly urged the Yang family and the An family to obey the emperor's will, otherwise it would be tantamount to rebellion and be punished as a crime of rebellion.
and began to organize the army.
His men were all chieftain soldiers. While he forced the natives to join the army, he used the troupe to promote Hanization and suppressed them with the Han army.
The Yang family and the An family refused to send troops to their death.
April eighteen.
Xiang Wenyao drafted an appeal, claiming that the Yang family in Bozhou did not obey the holy will and had the intention to rebel, and sent troops to arrest the rebels.
On that day, four groups swore to send troops.
The Yang family had already made preparations. The head of the family, Yang Hui, ordered all gates to guard the main roads. He planned to send the Ming army into Bozhou, tie a bag and put the Ming army in it.
All the junctions of Bozhou are Xiongguan.
The city is built on a hillside, which is definitely a nightmare for siege. This is also Yang's greatest confidence.
Tao Cheng personally led 80,000 people as the vanguard. He did not choose the land route, but took the water route, and the water routes were all Xiongguan, Wujiang Pass, Luomeng Pass, Yamen Pass, and then Hailongdun, the home of the Yang family in Bozhou for seven hundred years.
When the troops arrived at Wujiang Pass, Yang Hui raised tens of thousands of troops, with more than ten fierce generals, and cavalry to assist in guarding the pass.
When the army arrived at Wujiang Pass, Tao Cheng was not in a hurry to attack.
They first sent troops to camp on the shore and didn't care about the probing figures on the hillside. They couldn't catch them anyway.
"Sir, we can fight at night."
Tao Lu's face darkened and he gained more experience in fighting.
He followed Tao Cheng around the city and sighed in vain when he looked at the majestic pass.
In the military, he also addressed his father by his official position, regardless of personal relationships.
His group has the largest number of troops and the greatest pressure. Only by attracting Yang's main force can the other three groups completely engulf Bozhou.
This battle must be fought beautifully.
Let the Shuidong Song family surrender obediently, and then use everything the Song family has to pacify the Shuixi'an family and completely pacify Guizhou.
Yu Qian wants to personally command and fight a great war.
He wanted to participate and brought the Guizhou army to participate. He also wanted to be promoted to a noble title.
If you choose Wujiang Pass, you have to fight a tough battle without taking any chances.
Fortunately, the Guizhou Army has sufficient armaments. There has been no major battle in the past two years, and they are all hoarding armaments. He has 300 heavy artillery pieces, which is easier for the Yang family.
Of course, he is not without weaknesses.
He only brought three days of army rations. If he could not enter Wujiang Pass, he would have to get food from the Shuidong Song family. If the Song family refused to accept it, they would have to destroy it first.
The emperor was very dissatisfied with the slow progress of his ministers in Guizhou, so the supply of military rations and meat was reduced.
The road to Guizhou is so difficult. The road to Shu is not as difficult as the road to Guizhou.
In the past two years, Guizhou has planted corn and peppers, and the bulldozed toast has been put under the direct jurisdiction of each government. With corn planted, Guizhou can barely be self-sufficient in food.
The Central Committee despises Guizhou's land, but covets Guizhou's soldiers. It hopes to quickly defeat Guizhou and use Guizhou soldiers to fight against the Southeast Allied Forces.
That night.
The Ming army pushed out the heavy artillery. Under the heavy artillery was a wooden pulley. This was the idea of the Jiangnan people.
Fire bombs ignited and Guancheng was illuminated.
The current fierce fire bomb is not a stunning thing, and it is not surprising that the Yang family in Banzhou also has it.
Tao Cheng raised his telescope to explore the situation on Guancheng.
The telescope was also created by Jiangnan people.
In fact, in the early Ming Dynasty, there were magnifying glasses and prototypes of telescopes, but they were inverted. People in Jiangnan developed the positive phase.
Many generals in the army have equipment, which is not a rare item.
"fire!"
Boom boom boom!
The artillery attacked Guancheng. The power of the artillery was not small, but it could not shake the Wujiang Pass.
However, a trebuchet threw up a rectangular sealed iron box half a man's height. Someone went over to take a look and found that the fuse was burning.
boom!
An explosion occurred on Guancheng!
Such explosions occurred one after another in Guancheng.
The screams continued.
It's not that the bomb is very lethal, but it's that these natives have never seen such a thing, and these natives are full of fear of the unknown.
Yang Hui killed a few people who were shaking people's hearts and asked everyone to hide and disperse.
Only Yang Hui is here, otherwise he would surrender directly.
Tao Cheng didn't take it seriously and bombarded Guancheng as if it was free of charge.
boom!
A section of the wall collapsed.
"Death Army, charge!"
The artillery stopped and the army's death squads attacked the city.
This kind of siege team is either a warrior or a criminal in the army. If they survive, they will be reinstated, and if they die, they will receive a pension.
As the war progressed, lots were drawn, and those who were drawn went to attack the city.
When Yang Hui saw Ming's siege team, his heart sank to the bottom.
I don't know if the Ming army is strong or not, but it is very rich anyway, and the artillery shells are fired as if they are free. If we attack the city like this, it won't take long before even Hai Longcun will be lost.
The war lasted for one night, and Yang Hui defeated the Ming army.
A crack appeared in Xiongguan, and people could get in. At dawn, he asked people to plug the crack.
Siege warfare is a war of attrition.
Tao Chengdu was used to it. For more than ten nights in a row, the Ming army attacked the city and threw in more than 10,000 corpses.
Yang Hui's men suffered heavy losses. Seven or eight of the fierce generals died. Wujiang Pass was crumbling and could no longer be defended.
After fighting for several more days, Wujiang Pass was captured.
Yang Hui retreated to Luomeng Pass.
"Sir, the losses are too great. The local tribes feel that you are wasting them, and they are dissatisfied." Cheng Fei came in to pay tribute to the battle losses.
The battle damage was indeed large enough. 300 artillery shells were consumed, and the number of battle casualties was 17,000, of which 2,000 were seriously injured.
"How can we defeat such a powerful pass without saving our lives?"
Tao Cheng snorted coldly: "If you're afraid of death, just say so. What excuse are you looking for! Aren't the Han people dead?"
"Besides, aren't they Han now? If they die in battle, won't the court give them a pension? Why do they say they have some and don't have any!"
"Tell them that if they defeat Hai Longdun, I will be promoted, and they will benefit from it. If they cannot defeat Hai Longdun, they will just wait to eat melon Luo'er!"
Cheng Fei rolled his eyes, who would believe what you said?
Four Han people died and fifteen thousand natives died. Who would believe you if you say you are not partial?
After he withdrew, Tao Cheng said to his son: "A general's achievements will lead to thousands of bones being withered. As a general, you must be ruthless. You must be ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to yourself."
Tao Lu saluted: "Father, my son just feels that it is a pity that those good men died in vain. If they join the battlefield in the southeast, they can serve His Majesty better!"
"Do you think being a father is consuming them?"
Tao Cheng was speechless: "Don't even look at Wujiang Pass. Can this pass be conquered by manpower? Without heavy artillery, we can't even think about it."
"If I don't scare Yang Hui all the way, how can I contain the entire strength of the Yang family?"
"Besides, His Majesty wants elites, not trash."
"After this battle, Guizhou's 230,000-strong army will have at least 20,000 absolute elites. These people will become officers and form the foundation of the Southern Army."
Tao Cheng thought further.
If you want to be an elite, you have to go through hundreds of battles. Dead people are nothing.
Immortal, where does his military exploits come from?
There is not much movement, how can I be granted a title?
"You really don't want to consume the natives?" Tao Lu thought it was like this no matter how he looked at it.
"Go away, Your Majesty repeatedly said, the natives of Guizhou are Chinese, not the natives of Annam, Champa, or Cambodia. They are born slaves."
Tao Cheng said angrily: "Nowadays, there are wars everywhere and there is a shortage of soldiers everywhere. Why should a father waste his strength?"
"Hurry up and get out of here."
Seeing that his son didn't believe it, Tao Cheng didn't bother to say anything.
Tao Lu left the military tent and went to appease the troops.
Those who were seriously injured stayed here to recuperate, leaving a military doctor to take care of them.
After resting for a day, the army moved forward, picking many strongholds along the way and recruiting and surrendering many strongholds. Tao Cheng's number of soldiers exceeded one hundred thousand in the blink of an eye.
Arrive at Luomeng Pass.
To follow the example of a gourd is to fight at night.
Use artillery bombardment to create a crack, and fill it with human lives.
The Song family in Shuidong received reports every day. After hearing that the Ming army was fighting like this, they were not too strong. They just used firearms to push back.
Song Wei received another message that Yue Zheng had occupied Tianbangdun.
Li Kuang was collecting chieftains such as Chong'an, Baini, and Zouma, and killed all those who were unwilling to become naturalized.
"It's broken, the Yang family will be defeated!"
Song Wei was surprised: "How come the Ming army is so fast? Could it be that those villages secretly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty a long time ago?"
"It shouldn't be. The Yang family has been in Bozhou for seven hundred years. These villages have served the Yang family for generations. How can they surrender?"
"There's a ghost in here!"
"Wait a minute, Ming Dynasty defeated Yang with four groups, what about the other group?"
That night, the head of the Shuixian family wrote a letter begging the Song family to jointly send troops to attack Wujiang Pass and cut off the Ming army's retreat.
He also wrote that the Ming army was not a four-pronged army, but six, and two more came south from Sichuan.
And Xiang Wenyao went all the way from Wuchuan to the west and had already captured Zheng'an.
Song Wei's hair stood on end.
Daming is too fast!
This is Guizhou, not a plain. Is there no obstruction to the place? No, these places are where the Yang family has stationed heavy troops.
That is because the Ming army was too strong, and cities were captured one after another without wasting time.
The determination shown by Daming frightened him.
When he hesitated, he received a message early the next morning that the Ming court had transferred 1,400 heavy artillery pieces to the Guizhou Army.
What is this concept? Can defeat Guizhou!
As long as heavy artillery can be transported into Guizhou, no city can block the path of the Ming army.
The most difficult thing in Guizhou is transporting artillery.
"Where did the Ming Dynasty get so many artillery pieces?"
Song Ling's soul was all gone, unless he was stupid and rebelled with the Shuixi'an clan.
He didn't know yet that this was not the Yongle Dynasty's heavy artillery, but a new artillery piece.
He immediately sent a message to Tao Cheng, saying that the Shuidong Song family was willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Luomeng Pass also fell into Tao Cheng's hands.
After receiving the letter of begging for surrender from the Shuidong Song family, Tao Cheng didn't smile. The shells were empty. The heavy artillery was just a decoration now, and there was Xiongguan in front of him.
Yang Hui ran back to his lair and became a coward.
The Ming army is really not that strong, and its firearms are too fierce.
Who can bear the heavy artillery and muskets?
The chieftains who had submitted to his family for hundreds of years surrendered to the Ming army one after another, and Tao Cheng threw them out to consume the Yang family's strength.
The Yang family relied on Xiongguan, so the losses were acceptable. The problem was that they did not dare to fight the Ming army face to face.
You are holding a big sword, and someone is attacking you with a musket, and then blowing you up with a cannon. Who can stand this? It's not a war on the same level at all.
Tao Lu divided his troops to the west to capture the surrender and attack the stronghold in the west.
Tao Cheng then moved forward, aiming for Hai Longdun.
The Yang family sent letters begging for surrender, but Tao Cheng ignored them.
Push out the artillery and continue blasting.
But this time it was just a show, he had no more artillery shells, and he was just trying to scare Yang. When he saw the artillery, there was a cry in Guancheng.
Song Wei personally led 30,000 elite troops to help in the battle.
Tao Chengcai was damaged, so he asked Song Wei to attack Hailongdun. If he couldn't defeat it, it means the Song family was incompetent. The Ming Dynasty did not want incompetent people.
Song Wei burst into tears. Hailongdun has been managed by the Yang family for seven hundred years. Can 30,000 people defeat it?
He asked Tao Cheng to use heavy artillery to suppress the formation, but Tao Cheng refused.
"The Ming Dynasty does not raise idle people. Let me see what you are capable of. If you don't have the ability, just wash your neck and wait for death."
No one could tell that Tao Cheng had no cannonballs in his hand.
Song Qing's face was very ugly: "Sir, my Shuidong Song family is very loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty asked the Song family to send troops to the south, and the Song family will send troops obediently; if you want to use Wujiang Pass, the Song family will lend you the road; and they will send out all the troops. , assisting you in fisting, isn’t this enough to express my loyalty to the Song family?”
"Are you bargaining with the general?"
Tao Cheng glanced at him and suddenly shouted: "This is the military, not a place for bargaining!"
"I am the commander-in-chief of Bonan. When you join my command, you should obey my orders!"
"No room for bargaining!"
"Here, I only have to obey orders! There is no third word!"
Song Wei was frightened by Tao Cheng's momentum.
Looking at the Ming Dynasty's artillery camp again, he nodded angrily and agreed.
Tao Cheng snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The more this happened, the less Song Wei dared to rebel.
As long as he pushed the soldiers onto the battlefield, there would be no chance for rebellion, because all the guns would be aimed at the charging people. Anyone who dared to turn around and run away would be executed immediately.
This is a rule that has been used since ancient times.
In the Yamen Pass, Yang Hui waited for an hour, but did not hear the sound of artillery, but the sound of fighting continued. When he looked up, he found that the leader was Song Wei, and he almost died.
Sure enough, this bitch was unreliable, and he actually surrendered to Ming Dynasty.
"Kill them all!" Yang Hui ordered directly.
Tao Cheng watched as the Yang family of Bozhou and the Song family of Shuidong were biting each other.
But I was anxious in my heart.
Send the cannonballs up quickly. Once the secret is revealed, the army in his hands will collapse.
Tao Lu came back from plundering food, drove away the prisoners who refused to surrender, demoted them into servants, and pushed them to the battlefield tomorrow.
The current Ming Dynasty's method of fighting is purely Mongolian. The food supply is small, so they rely on looting to provide food and wages.
Then drive the captured people onto the battlefield to consume the enemy's arrows.
When the Shuixian clan heard that the Ming Dynasty was attacking Hailongdun and that Song Wei was assisting in the battle, they almost lost their temper. They also begged the Ming Dynasty for mercy and were willing to send 10,000 troops to help.
The result was ignored.
He received the news that after Yue Zheng captured Wengshui, he took a boat north to Sandu Pass.
Li Kuang is subduing all the chieftains and forcing them to return to their native land.
He Wenyuan led the Sichuan army, crossed Chishui, recruited the chieftains, and marched into Xishui, cutting off Yang Hui's westward escape route.
The An family knew that the Yang family was finished!
No one expected that in less than a month, Ming Dynasty would be able to control all areas of Xuanwei Division in Bozhou. It is not in line with common sense.
They all know that the Ming army's combat effectiveness is not strong.
Why are you suddenly so strong?
The power of heavy artillery.
The war in Hailongdun lasted for seventeen days, and all the 30,000 people brought by Song Wei were killed or injured. Tao Cheng forced Song Wei to return to Shuidong to recruit troops, and asked for another 50,000 soldiers.
Song Wei didn't know that Tao Cheng was deliberately consuming him.
The problem is that all 30,000 of his most elite men are dead.
If he doesn't agree, the 40,000 people he paid in compensation will be in vain. If he goes back and continues to recruit troops, the Shuidong Song family will be completely finished.
Tao Cheng was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to drive the natives to attack.
He was not afraid of rebellion by the natives, because the guns were pointed at the natives, and anyone who dared to retreat would be killed.
A man fell outside Yamen Pass.
Tao Lu advised his father to accept the Yang family's surrender. If the fight continued like this, it would only increase losses.
"Do you think your father is stupid?"
Tao Cheng lowered his voice and said: "The artillery shells in the army are gone. If the Yang family fakes a surrender and there is no artillery, will your soldiers be able to obey orders?"
Once the truth is known to the military, the good situation will immediately collapse.
It will be difficult to break in again.
Tao Lu was startled: "There are still cannonballs in the warehouse, why are they gone?"
"Fake!"
Tao Cheng smiled bitterly: "That was collected by me to hide from others. Not only are our army gone, but also Governor Yue's army is gone. No one expected that Bozhou would be so difficult to defeat."
"The progress of Governor Yue and Magistrate Li is also slowing down. There are no more cannonballs and there is not enough lead."
"So we must ruthlessly consume those who have second thoughts in the army."
Tauru was stunned.
I thought it would not be difficult to capture Hailongdun.
Who knew, the shells were gone long ago, and my father was holding on.
If you want to transfer artillery shells from Wuhan, you can't transport them there at all. There are mountains everywhere. They, who have been fighting all year round, are lost. There are also native people who lead them. They are lost, and no one else can get in.
"But don't worry, the fire oil tank is still there, and there are also iron bombs. Don't panic, you can just be responsible for finding food."
Tao Cheng continued to pretend.
Driving the natives to attack the city, regardless of the consequences.
Yang Hui was stunned. Can't we accept it? Why did the Ming Dynasty send a general like a mad dog? We don’t want to fight, so why don’t we agree?
He wrote letters to Tao Cheng, Yue Zheng, Xiang Wenyao, and Li Kuang. They all disagreed and seemed to have to slaughter the Yang family.
There is no deep hatred!
Yang Hui was willing to hand over thousands of years of family wealth to the Ming Dynasty, and even the Yang family could leave Bozhou, so why did they have to kill them all.
Yue Zheng and Li Kuang were just outside Bozhou City.
The two of them also had troubles to talk about, and they also wanted to recruit Yang Hui to surrender. The problem was that they ran out of artillery shells, and they were worried that Yang Hui would rebel again after surrendering, and the credit they gained would be lost.
So he was determined to destroy the Yang family.
The Ming Dynasty's mad dog-like fighting style scared the She family of Yongning Xuanwei Division. The Ming Dynasty did not recruit the chieftain to surrender, but wanted to kill the chieftain.
The Yang family did not follow the imperial decree, but now that they knew they were wrong, they should be given a chance to admit their mistakes.
Daming won't give it at all.
He also took the opportunity to consume the strength of the natives.
Those guns were not aimed at Hailongdun, Bozhou, and Yamenguan, but at the chieftains who were trying to surrender. The battle lasted for more than a month, with more than 100,000 casualties on both sides.
The key was that the Yang family wanted to surrender, and they even wrote to the Yongning She family, Shuixi An family, and Shuidong Song family for help.
Daming was bitten to death, and he had to kill the Yang family completely before he stopped. What kind of hatred or resentment was there?
They are all paying attention to this battle.
Who could have imagined that the war would end like this.
He Wenyuan sent an order to the She family to send 30,000 troops to attack Bozhou.
Shejia sits directly on the wax.
The meaning of Ming Dynasty is very clear. Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, kill the Yang family, and let all the chieftains see it. If you don't submit and don't become Chinese, you will be killed until the whole family is cut off.
The She family has a very good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and Mrs. She Xiang was ordered to meet by Emperor Taizu.
He Wenyuan took office as the governor of Sichuan for four years and always turned a blind eye to the chieftains. He only rectified the internal affairs of Sichuan and issued orders to the She family for the first time.
Just once, but it's fatal.
If the She family behaves well, they will be like the Shuidong Song family, whose life or death is uncertain.
If they don't obey, they will be the next Yang family and they will die.
He Wenyuan led the army to Xi Shuishui. He thought that the victory was in hand. He didn't know that Guizhou Si will be dragged and refused to surrender because he did not have no artillery shells.
When the key Daming started, such as a thunderous rain, the movement was too great, and it was too fierce.
I really scared each family. I haven't seen the heavy artillery. The power is strong and the range is long.
Even Shui Xi'an's family came to send a letter and was willing to send troops to fight 50,000.
It was rejected by Yue Zheng.
Song Yan cried home and went home to continue recruiting soldiers to let the villages make people. This is the sinking effect. He has invested too much in his family.
Fifty thousand soldiers must not be requisitioned, and a 20,000 person was sent to Hai Longhou.
The owner of Shui Xi'an came to the Song family in person and asked the Song family and the An family to stand on a front.
I was rejected by Song Yan, but I didn't want to be the Yang family and was killed.
An Ren also cried home.
Yang Hui broke the jar, and he didn't ignore anything, so he enjoyed it with peace of mind. It was a day to enjoy a day.
The Yang family was looking for a relationship, and was out of Yang.
As long as I am not surnamed Yang, the court will not find us.
Family collapse.
The soldiers outside naturally did not fight.
On the first day of May, Yamen Pass was broken, and Tao Chengbing surrounded Hailong.
The luxury family sent troops to help out, but Tao Cheng was rushed back, let the luxury family wash their necks and wait for death.
Luxury Zhijie kneeled down and hoeed his head, kneeling outside the military account for three days.
Hailongho was overwhelmed.
The Yang family, who inherited seven hundred years, completely disappeared.
Tao Cheng ordered that Yang's door was filled and had an in -laws with Yang's, all arrested, killing the first evil, and the rest were exiled.
The luxury Zhijie saw that the Yang family was broken and inherited the giants of 700 years, and the chicken flew.
Tao Cheng also asked him to appreciate the head of the Yang family.
The seven hundred years of wealth of the Yang family was sealed, and the governor of Guizhou was prepared.
Yue Zheng and Li Kuang were late.
Organized people to take over the Yang family's wealth, and their in -laws, Majesty's generals, and owners of each village, all killed, Jimo family property.
Yue Zheng made things to do things. Luxury Zhijie and Song Yantian came to ask for peace, fearing that the next one is their home.
They really did not see that Yue Zheng's heart was virtual.
The main Ming army killed too hard.
The brilliant states and Hailonghong were killed.
After Xiang Wenzheng compiled the northern part of Poster State, he felt that Hai Longhong was stunned with Yue Zheng, and he was bitter.
"Lead is gone?" Xiang Wenzhen was frightened and couldn't help admiring Yue Zheng's calmness. Ming Jun had no food, no gun, no gun, but he opened his killing ring in the old nest of the Yang family.
Yongning luxury home and Shuidong Song family are still kneeling every day.
The problem is that they don't know.
Song Yan was a miserable, crying every day, saying that 30,000 people died on the battlefield. Can't you express loyalty?
"It's gone, otherwise, why wait until May to flatten the Yang family?" Yue Zheng disagreed.
Xiang Wenzhang stretched out his thumb and smiled immediately: "He Wenyuan is still fox fake tiger. If he knows that we have nothing, will it be crazy?"
"Hahaha!" Yue Zheng laughed.
The Yongning luxury family was really scared. If he knew no, he immediately went to Xiang Wen's old nest, and Xiang Wenyi would be miserable.
"But there is nothing. Postering the state is flat, and there will be ammunition to come in soon. Besides, the situation is in the hands of Daming, and no one can't afford the wind and waves."
Xiang Wenyu is very confident.
The most disturbed thing now is not Yue Zheng, but Shui Xi'an.
Ming Jun opened the prestige of the state, and Anji saw it.
Even the Song family and the luxurious family of Daming, who helped the fist, did not forgive him easily. Can he let him go?
An Ren's face was ash, and the Water Xi'an family, which was inherited for 1200 years, also entered the downturn.
Jiebao had already sent Jingshi.
The latest emperor in Nanjing received the last day, and he received a good news on the tenth day of May.
"It seems that Tao Cheng's snail has been living for two years and has no wait."
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Zhao Fu is also unlucky. As soon as he left, Guizhou had a big fight, and he flattened the Yang of Poster."
It's just war to damage toothache.
Daming actually lost 120,000 people. Although they were all natives, the pension was a lot of money, and this was all the vital army.
He killed 50,000 people, killed 7,000 people from the Yang family, and captured 140,000.
The recruitment of soldiers was as high as 770,000. (Actually male Ding)
As for the goods, rough statistics are 7 million up.
"Broadcasting the state of Yang, so you have to have a little money? I don't believe it!"
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Feng Xiao, sent Jinyiwei to check, who moved his silver! Hit so many toasts, there is no 20 million, don't want to fool me!"
"Yue Zheng and Xiang Wenyu are too greedy."
Don't forget that Daming was hit by the dignitaries. All the participation was rebellion. Can these families have no money?
Those families have been in their families for hundreds of years, saying that they have no money to make ghosts!
"Tell Yue Zheng, can't get up 20 million, let him go to repair the Yellow River!"
"You can't be greedy so much!"
Zhu Qiyu was very happy to read the newspaper. As a result, when he saw this amount, he was in a bad mood: "There is also Tao Cheng, just when he became the count, he got into the eyes? How many people are willing to lead troops to fight! No shortage of him! "
Feng Xiao was startled, and the emperor's anger came really fast.
Obviously it is a good thing. It was Yang's Yang family. Even the emperor of the Taizong was helpless. The Jingtai dynasty was flat for two months. This is definitely a great victory and a rare victory.
The Emperor Taizong settled in Sizhou Tian Family for three years!
But the same, the investment is not the same. The Yongle dynasty used the northern convention army, and the investment was only military expenses. However, the Jingtai Dynasty invested millions on the Guizhou army, which cannot be compared.
Besides, Tao Cheng, Tao Chengneng was expensive in the Jingtai Dynasty, and he absolutely had a direct relationship with the emperor. There will be as many troops like him. As long as the emperor values, he gives the soldiers to money, and there are many people who replace him.
The emperor likes him, and mainly likes his son Tao Lu.
But this person has also changed, becoming so greedy, the key war damage is so high, and the emperor is naturally unhappy.
"There are also Shuidong Song and Yongning luxury, each one has 15 million and two!"
"Water Xi'an, 30 million! The family moves to Baozhou!"
"Otherwise, you can flatten it!"
"Go to Beijing this time! Don't stay in Guizhou!"
Zhu Qiyu was not assured of Yue Zheng and Xiang Wenyu, the two were too greedy.
"The emperor was angry."
Feng Xiao smiled bitterly, if he changed the emperor who had never seen money, it would be possible to make it over.
Now the emperor's heart is very high, and he can't see millions of two melons.
Besides, Yang's family has been in family, who has not believed in tens of millions of two years. Look at Jiangnan gentlemen, pay the conviction silver, and live so fast.
The silver buried under the ground may refer to how much.
"The guilty person who is implicated moves to Baozhou Prefecture."
"Captives stay in Guizhou to build roads, and there are too few Guizhou Road. Let's continue to repair it, a lot of repair!"
"Tell Yue Zheng again, roll back if you don't do well, don't hinder your affairs!"
"Three years in Guizhou, it is not good to cultivate, Guizhou is not rich. Do n’t want to rise to one step in this life."
Zhu Qiyu was really angry.
You're lying to a fool.
How much silver digs out of Jiangxi?
He also sent Zheng Youyi to count Jin Zhong's family property. Jin Zhong took Jin Yiwei to Jiangxi, at least 30 million.
After one tenth of the greed, he opened a glance.
But Yue Zheng directly gave him one quarter, which made him very upset and took three quarters of himself.
That is the family's family's family about seven hundred years. Even if there are twenty -thousand thousand a year, there are seven million. How can it be possible to save that?
Even Zhu Qiyu speculated that it would be more than 30 million.
Don't look at Guizhou poor, toast is absolutely scary.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes sank: "If the emperor Taizu knows so many silver buried under the Ming Dynasty, what will happen?"
Feng Xiaosheng jumped up, but did not dare to pretend to die: "The emperor, before the step, you have to use them to do things."
"Yeah, let people do things, you have to make people greedy, otherwise, why should you be an official?"
Zhu Qiyu was indignant: "But it is not necessary to treat the fool to be a fool? How much is Fang Ying in both Guangdong and Guangxi? Did he dispose of him?"
"Li Jin accepted the benefits of Chechen Department, don't you believe him?"
"Li Xian is in Liaoning, and Jinjin is fighting gold. Didn't he use him to be the first assistant?"
"damn it!"
"Let the eunuchs go, hang up Yue Zheng, Xiang Wenyu, Tao Cheng, and Li Kuang, draw ten whip! Pick up fiercely!"
"Let them sober!"
"The four of them are not rewarded, and their subordinates are the same."
Feng Xiao was astounding. The emperor was not afraid of being greedy, and what he was afraid of was to lie to him.
"Go to the old lady Fu Xuan." Zhu Qiyu was angry.
Two thousand!
