Although Wu Gong was smiling more ugly than crying, his pace of leading the way did not stop.
I can only say that the body is still very honest.
He led the main force of the Ming army all the way south, crossed the Shu Road, crossed Hanzhong, arrived at Jianmen Pass, and entered Longqing Mansion. Then he suggested that the Ming army divide into three groups and start a formal attack on the plains in the middle of Shu, which were no longer blocked by natural barriers.
This is the sacred land in Shu, the land of abundance. As long as it is captured, Sichuan and Shu will be conquered, and the Shu-Song regime will be completely destroyed.
Su Haisheng was very happy and immediately arranged a three-way invasion plan.
The Chinese army led by Su Haisheng personally attacked Langzhou. Because he heard that it was occupied by Wu Lin's former generals and had a tendency to become a warlord, he personally led his troops to attack. He encountered no resistance and easily occupied the area. .
Then comes a wave of purges.
The powerful landowners who took refuge in Hou Pu and helped Hou Pu organize the army to establish a warlord-like governance system were all captured by the Ming army and wiped out, uprooting their power.
The powerful landlords who joined the military leaders and formed the warlord forces are no longer ordinary landlords. These guys who are trying to get political power have full ambitions and must be dealt with with heavy blows!
It was at this stage that Wu Gong saw with his own eyes how the Ming army carried out great purges and how they killed people and punished people.
Seeing those landowners and old wealth being hung on the southeast branches and fluttering in the wind, he even felt a little bit of joy in his heart.
He was very glad that he was not an enemy of the Ming army, otherwise he really didn't know what the outcome would be.
He saw the elite of the regular Ming army.
He saw the treatment and motivation of the Ming army's auxiliary troops and civilian troops.
He also took note of the mobility and speech abilities of the political cadres in the Ming army.
He also saw the scene where the peasants were stirred up and rushed towards the homes of the landlords and rich men like a tsunami to exact revenge on them.
He felt that these were things he had never heard of.
For example, it was difficult for him to imagine that when the army was resting, he witnessed a soldier debating with another soldier on how to attack a military fortress built on the mountainside. One person was in charge of defending and the other was in charge of attacking. The two were arguing. Very happy.
It was also difficult for him to imagine that the Ming army's logistics team he saw at first did not have the attendants or surveillance of armed soldiers. However, the auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands looked very energetic, and there was no sign of abuse on their faces. They looked orderly and did not seem to be planning to take the opportunity to escape.
What was even more difficult for him to imagine was that those sallow-looking old farmers who were beaten, scolded and groveled would actually bravely attack the homes of landlords and wealthy people under the leadership of Ming army and political workers.
He never imagined that these people who were born like slaves would actually show their fangs.
When following the Ming army's actions, he felt that everything he saw was refreshing his worldview. The world was undergoing drastic changes, which could even be said to be turned upside down.
All kinds of things that have never been seen and cannot be imagined are really happening.
He had read "Hongwu Political Treatise", which was recommended to him by Wu Lin. At that time, he thought that Su Yonglin was a strong talker and was very fierce in talking, so it may not be possible to implement it in practice.
But everything he saw now told him that Su Yonglin was not only sharp-tongued, but also had the best skills in the world.
With the strong national power of the Ming Dynasty as the support, the powerful army as the basis for action, and such a powerful ability to mobilize the people, Wu Gong felt for the first time what kind of enemy he was facing.
Perhaps, even without his guidance, the Ming army could successfully pass through the northern Sichuan defense zone. After this wave of military and political offensives, Wu Gong could not think of any way or possibility to deal with it.
He only felt that he had no other way to face such an offensive except to die in battle, but if he died, the Wu family might not be able to get any favors.
This feeling of being crushed in all directions without any possibility of resistance and success is really suffocating and despairing.
End it, let this end as soon as possible, I'm really tired.
Wu Gong sighed deeply.
The high-spirited Xiangyang magistrate no longer exists.
Even the general who planned to launch a massive decisive battle with the Ming army in Hanzhong no longer exists.
Wu Gong, who has clearly recognized the reality, can already accept all this.
As he gave up resistance, the Ming army quickly crossed Hanzhong and entered Shuzhong, and began its military occupation of Shuzhong in early December.
Most of the troops in Shu are now concentrated around Chengdu to fight the civil war. Except for the martial arts around Chengdu, most areas are in a state of anarchy or closed to protect themselves. Facing the Ming army's attack, they have no resistance. .
The Ming army was basically sweeping thousands of armies, and could easily wipe out the resistance with one move.
Longqing Prefecture, Langzhou, Pengzhou, Quzhou, Mianzhou, Tongchuan Prefecture, Guozhou, Guang'an Army...
There are basically no decent resistance forces in these places, but there are quite a few small separatist forces. One or two are using tiger skins to make big banners, and they are all over the place.
As a result, the Ming army passed by, the city gates were opened, and the leaders of the small separatist forces came out holding bright banners to welcome them warmly, but they never met anyone who stayed behind closed doors.
Thinking about it, these people were also tortured to death by Mi Nuo and Jiao Zire. It was not impossible to be a king when no big forces came, but when the big forces came, they still chose to surrender very wisely.
When Su Haisheng personally led the troops to attack Tongchuan Prefecture, he generally encountered no resistance. However, when he attacked Tongshan County, he encountered Xie Qingsheng and his less than 20,000 men who were leading troops back to defense in a panic. ’s army, the two sides launched an encounter.
Facing this war, the Ming army commanded by Su Haisheng showed Wu Gong, who was watching the battle, what "crushing" meant.
The infantry was crushed face to face, the cavalry was crushed in a roundabout way, and an encounter on the flat ground was turned into a battle of annihilation by the Ming army.
The morale of the Ming army was so high that Xie Qingsheng's troops were beaten almost from the beginning and were unable to resist. They were suppressed and beaten all the time.
In just over half an hour, the Ming army completed the division and siege of Xie Qingsheng's troops. In another half an hour, Xie Qingsheng's Chinese army was overwhelmed by the elite cavalry led by the Ming army general Han Meng. Xie Qingsheng did not even have time to resist and was defeated. Han Meng pierced the throat with a spear and slashed.
Wu Gong swallowed and secretly thought about how far he could go against this elite Ming army.
Well, the only thing he felt was better than Xie Qingsheng was that his own soldiers were better at fighting and should be able to protect him from the battlefield and save his life. Apart from that, he was only second to Xie Qingsheng.
It's not that they don't know how to lead troops, it's not that they don't work hard enough, but...
The Ming army is really too strong.
The Qilu Corps, which had not fought for a long time, had been recuperating and was really, really eager for a battle to prove its strength. In the past, it had watched the Henan Corps make contributions and win battles, but it could not win any battles. Uncomfortable.
And now the victory is in full swing.
The morale of the regiment was greatly boosted, and it was out of control.
Starting from this, in mid-December, Su Haisheng organized his troops in Tongchuan Prefecture, then sent troops to Huai'an Army, lightly captured Jinshui County, and then pointed the sharp tip of his spear directly at Chengdu.
At the same time, Zhi Tianxing's army on the right marched to Mianzhou, defeated Hanzhou, passed Pengzhou, captured Jiulong County lightly, and directed his troops towards Chengdu.
The sharp army on the left route defeated the Guang'an army, entered Hezhou, and defeated the bandits in Hezhou. They then divided into two groups and marched south to Changzhou to meet Xu Tong's revolutionary army. They headed straight for Suining Prefecture and marched into Suining Prefecture. On December 23, they broke through Xiaoxi County, the capital of Suining, and sent troops to Puzhou.
