Sometimes even Yunchao himself feels strange.
I am obviously a science student, so why do I do so many things when I start a political career?
Did you choose the wrong major in your previous life and should you engage in ideological and political education?
After receiving huge dividends from the battle with the Jurchen East Route Army, Yun Chao's self-confidence was unprecedentedly high. After transporting the two divisions to Jiangnan, he still felt unsatisfied.
So, the First Army Group, which had just withdrawn from Daming Mansion and had only rested for half a month, was sent to Jiangnan by Yun Chao!
So far, the Yun family army has three armies in Jiangnan.
That is Wang Shitou's First Army, three divisions.
Jia Mancang's Third Army also had three divisions.
There is also Wang Dongfeng's Fourth Army, which is smaller in number, with only two divisions.
Counting Yun Chao's guard division, the Yun family army now has a total of fifteen army divisions.
In order to deal with Zong Wang's Eastern Route Army, Yun Chao dispatched ten divisions to the battlefield in Hebei.
Five divisions were left to look after the house.
Now not only have all the five remaining divisions been transferred to Jiangnan, but Wang Shitou's three divisions have also been transported there, plus a naval division remaining in Mingzhou Port. Jiangnan's troops have accounted for half of the total strength of the Yun family army. This shows how determined Yunchao is to open up the Jiangnan base!
In short, the layout of the Yun Family Army in the north is temporarily over. Next, Jiangnan will be the focus of the Yun Family Army's development.
There are 60,000 Jurchens in the Eastern Route Army, so of course not all of them will be able to escape.
There are at least thousands of people who used various methods to escape back to their lair.
Unfortunately, most of these people are small soldiers or low-level officers, not even a senior officer.
Through various incomplete gossips, they finally fed back a wrong message to the Jurchen high-level officials. The Jurchen East Route Army was defeated by a miscellaneous army called the Taihang Mountain Rebel Army!
The Jurchen senior officials were numb when they heard this.
Sixty thousand elite Jurchens, fifty thousand surrendered troops of Pharmacist Guo, and one hundred thousand surrendered troops of the Wu Dynasty were defeated by a miscellaneous army, and the defeat was so miserable, it is simply unbelievable!
Quickly, quickly, quickly withdraw the West Route Army. If that Taihang Mountain rebel army takes advantage of the situation and attacks its home base, the losses will be huge!
The Jurchen West Route Army had just made a breakthrough and even captured Taiyuan, an important town on the Wuchao West Route. Unexpectedly, they suddenly received an order to withdraw their troops immediately.
Zong Han, the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, was so angry that his nose was crooked. Seeing that he was about to make an unparalleled contribution, he actually transferred himself back. Is this a naked grab for credit?
Worried about shaking the morale of the army, the Jurchen high-ranking officials did not tell Zong Han about the annihilation of the Eastern Route Army. Although he was also one of the Jurchen high-ranking officials, to be on the safe side, the Jurchen court was still prepared to wait until he came back.
Unlike Wu Shu, Zong Wang and the others, Zong Han was not the son of the old emperor, so he was naturally not that stubborn. Even if he was dissatisfied, he could only pinch his nose and leave.
As soon as the Jurchen West Route Army withdrew, the Western Army of the Wu Dynasty immediately took over the territory occupied by the Jurchens.
As a result, the Western Army developed rapidly without anyone taking care of it.
At this time, the Wu Dynasty royal family only had one ninth prince left, who went to Yingtian Mansion to form a court in exile.
Because there was a puppet court supported by the Jurchens in between, it was difficult for Zhao Laojiu's orders to be transmitted to the battlefield in Western Xinjiang, so the Western Army of the Wu Dynasty also entered a state of anarchy.
As for the situation in Jiangnan, no one except the Yun Family Army could care about it.
Zhao Laojiu is still worried that the Jurchens will destroy his exiled court. He is in panic all day long. He cannot protect himself and has no time to take care of Jiangnan's affairs.
The same was true for the puppet court in Kaifeng. When they heard that Zong Wang's East Route Army was completely destroyed, the puppet Chu emperor Lao Zhang immediately fainted.
After waking up, Lao Zhang quickly wrote to Zhao Laojiu, who was ready to escape from Yingtian Mansion at any time, asking him to return to Bianliang City as soon as possible to succeed to the throne!
Zhao Laojiu was not a fool. Even though Lao Zhang said that the Jurchen East Route Army had been completely destroyed, he still refused to move.
Just kidding, his father, brother, and brothers have all become prisoners of the Jurchens, and he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of those bastards.
It's good like this now. A prince with no hope of inheriting the throne has actually become an emperor. Even though he is in exile from the court, he is still an emperor!
At worst, after a while, when I have collected enough troops, I can run to Jiangnan and become the Anle Emperor in Jiangnan!
It is no exaggeration to say that the land of China today has completely entered an era of chaos.
The people are miserable, and describing their lives in dire straits is not enough to describe their suffering.
In this situation, Yun Chao, who is compassionate and compassionate, can only stand up.
Do your best to expand your territory...ahem, save the poor innocent people!
"Come here, send an order to Li Xing and ask him to lead the second army to Jiaozhou Port to board the ship and go to the south of the Yangtze River to rescue the suffering people!"
"yes!"
Yun Jiajun's achievements in Jiangnan gave Yun Chao great confidence and allowed him to continue to increase investment in Jiangnan.
In addition, Yun Chao was excited about the breakthroughs made by the scientific research department in oil refining technology. Although it was still far from the advanced oil refining technology of later generations, under today's circumstances, it was barely usable.
With the technology to separate oil, even if it is very crude, Yun Chao can let people study how to make plastic.
Despite the fact that later generations will describe plastic as white trash, as if it is the sworn enemy of mankind, in fact, the convenience and benefits it has brought to mankind can't be finished even if it lasts three days and three nights!
Yun Chao believes that once plastics can be made, Yun Jiajun's scientific and technological development will surely enter a new stage!
Unfortunately, despite the refinement of low-quality gasoline and diesel, there is still a long way to go before the big cars that Yunchao expected.
Internal combustion engines are not that easy to build. Until mechanical technology reaches a certain level, it will be impossible to make a precise internal combustion engine!
With Yun Jiajun's current low technological level, there is a lot of room for improvement in the steam engines they produce, let alone internal combustion engines. There is no hope at all in a short time!
What makes Yun Chao happy is that although the internal combustion engine is still far away, the application of steam engines has made certain breakthroughs.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of relevant departments, the first inferior steam-powered ship was finally launched.
The reason why I say it is inferior is because Yun Chao has no intention of letting this ship run very far. To put it bluntly, it is just a simple test object.
Installing a steam engine on a wooden ship is actually a very simple matter. It is nothing more than calculating the weight of the steam engine itself and the load of the ship.
Ever since the steam engine was successfully developed, Yun Chao had never doubted that steam-powered ships could be launched into the water.
Chug tug tug...
Oh, this is Yun Chao's illusion.
The chug chug is the sound of an internal combustion engine, and the sound of a steam engine should be like crying.
After some warm-up, the whistle of the small steamer made a long whistle and started to move slowly!
