- Shi Bao and Zhao Yi went to Muzhou to recruit Ying Ming, the Dunjia god. Chao Yong asked Zhao Yi, Pan Wende and Ying Ming to lead the soldiers who were willing to continue serving as soldiers and go north to Tokyo to participate in the selection of new soldiers. ¡ùThe soldiers were directly paid with expenses and sent home.
The army stopped in Muzhou for a day and then continued southward. The territories controlled by Lu Shinang surrendered along the way.
Chao Yong made a special trip to Fuzhou to pay homage to Fang Baihua, then joined the army and headed for Fujian Road.
After Shen Gang, the God of Qingtian, heard that Lu Shinang was defeated and Fang Jie avenged the holy aunt, he did not bring any soldiers with him, and he disappeared alone.
Xu Tong, the Sixth God, was unable to survive alone, so he also led his troops to surrender.
The prince paid 100,000 yuan to arrest Shen Gang.
Hu Yanzhuo was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Fujian Road and led 10,000 troops to guard Fujian Road.
On December 10, Chao Yong arrived in Guangzhou with an army of 70,000, and Li Gong led the civil and military forces out of the city to greet him.
With the development of maritime trade, Guangzhou, as one of the city's shipping companies, has many shops in the city, and foreigners in strange clothes can be seen everywhere on the streets.
Although Guangzhou is more prosperous than many northern cities, for officials, it is still the frontier of the empire, far away from the capital, and a place to belittle officials.
Therefore, the civil and military officials in the city were very enthusiastic about Chao Yong's arrival, and they all wanted to be favored by the prince and transferred back to the north.
Chao Yong was not stingy and listed the achievements of some officials. If nothing unexpected happened, the court would send them all to the north to serve as officials. Of course, there would be no surprise if Chao Yong played it. Therefore, Guangzhou officials were grateful to Chao Yong and actively mobilized food and grass for the army. All the way south, the army's food and grass were escorted by the navy.
Li Gong, the pacifying envoy of Guangdong, had meritorious service in resisting the invasion of the Vietnamese Li Dynasty. He was promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief of Jiangsu Road and was granted the title of earl. After the east-west road of Huainan was changed into Anhui Road and Jiangsu Road, Luan Tingyu was appointed as the chief soldier of Anhui Road, but the chief soldier of Jiangsu Road has not been appointed. However, Li Gong was familiar with the military affairs of Guangnan. Ten thousand soldiers and horses were mobilized to accompany the army.
The commander-in-chief of Guangdong Road was replaced by Shi Wengong.
This is also the first time Chao Yong has mobilized southern troops and horses since he went south. Although An Daoquan escorted him all the way, after traveling south for thousands of miles, there were still some people who were not acclimatized and could only stay along the way to recuperate.
When they arrived in Guangzhou, although there were still 70,000 troops, the actual strength was only 60,000.
The army rested in Guangzhou for two days and then headed for Guangxi.
Li Chao¡¯s soldiers and horses have abandoned various cities on Guangxi Road. Retired to Yongzhou.
When the army arrived in Pennsylvania, they had to stop to rest. It was not because of the plague, but because of the arrival of the Lunar New Year.
At this time, the whole city of Tokyo was celebrating, when Chao Yong wiped out the Southern Song Dynasty and Lu Shinang. Lin Chong also forced Wang Qing to surrender. As soon as Lin Chong sent troops, Wang Qing kept sending envoys to ask for peace, but Chao Gai only agreed to make him the uncle of the state of Chu without any official position. While the two sides were still bargaining, Lin Chong, who had been holding back for a long time, led his troops to kill Wang Qing. In two battles, he killed tens of thousands of Wang Qing's troops and defeated more than 100,000. Wang Qing was forced to surrender unconditionally. Chao Gai did not lower the reward, but gave Wang Qing a palace in Tokyo and the title of Uncle Chu.
Wang Qing is also full of joy. In his early years, he was just a soldier in Tokyo. Now Feng Bo can be said to have returned to his hometown with great honor.
After Lin Chong wiped out Wang Qing, he led his troops into Sichuan Road and wiped out the rebellious ethnic minorities in Sichuan.
Because of the rapid expansion of Daliang territory, Chao Gai announced that Enke would be opened in the second year of Tianqi. The imperial examination was held again to select scholars.
The imperial examinations for two consecutive years have made scholars all over the world happy and excited.
Guangxi Road is not as prosperous as Guangdong Road. Pennsylvania was even swept away by the Vietnamese Li Dynasty when they retreated. All the strong men in the city were taken captive. Before leaving, a fire almost burned Pennsylvania to the ground.
The army did not have any entertainment in Pennsylvania. They only had one hundred thousand kilograms of wine and meat urgently transported from Guangdong Road, which was only enough for one meal. There was no shortage of rice.
There was no entertainment, so Chao Yong held a bonfire party and let the sergeants from each army who were good at singing and dancing perform.
Although there was not much wine and meat, the sergeants ate very happily because every piece of meat was covered with a thick layer of spices.
Most of the spices in the Central Plains come from southern countries and big food vendors. They are precious things in the Central Plains. Only wealthy households can afford them. Ordinary people may not be able to taste them in their lifetime.
Guangzhou could not raise much wine and meat, so Chao Yong asked the navy to transport all the spices from Guangzhou Port. Under the overseas trade system of the Song Dynasty, all goods arriving at the port were subject to a tenth of the tariff, regardless of value. Rather than calculating the value and collecting taxes, one-tenth of the goods are taken directly. The remaining goods will not be sold by the merchants themselves, but will be purchased and sold by the court to make huge profits.
Daliang¡¯s overseas trade system also followed the Song Dynasty system. With a warrant from Chao Yong, all the spices purchased from Guangzhou were shipped over.
One bite, completelyYou can't taste the meat, you can only taste a mouthful of spices.
Chao Yong didn¡¯t like this kind of barbecue, but the soldiers liked it. Even Li Kui liked the spice in his mouth.
Although the price for the spices purchased by the imperial court was relatively low, it still had to leave huge profits for the maritime merchants, otherwise the merchants would not be fighting for their lives in the waves in the violent storm.
At this bonfire party, more than 200,000 guan were eaten just for spices. If sold, these spices would be worth more than 2 million guan.
If the coach is not the prince, absolutely no one would dare to use these many spices, and of course they may not be able to do so.
In addition to the spices, Chao Yong also rewarded each person with ten coins. After wiping out Master Lu's bag, Chao Yong was not stingy and rewarded each person with ten guan of money.
Many army and Han, who were still family members from Tokyo, also had thirty family wealth, and there were other rewards who beheaded.
These rewards were not paid in cash, but were deposited by the Ministry of War to the Royal Bank. After the training, they could get the deposit certificates and cash them out at the Royal Bank. The bounty of the fallen soldiers will be distributed to their families together with other pensions from the court. However, when the Southern Song Dynasty and Lu Shinang were destroyed, only a few hundred soldiers were killed in the army.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I wish that this southern expedition would wipe out all the nations, so that they would all be rich men when they returned.
The army only rested in Pennsylvania for three days before sending troops to Kunlun Pass.
Kunlun Pass is located between Yongzhou and Binzhou. Compared with Xiongguan in the north, the mountains on both sides of Kunlun Pass are not high and the pass is not dangerous. However, there are thick forests on both sides of Kunlun Pass, with countless snakes and insects. If you want to go around from both sides, you have to face countless snakes and insects first, which are no easier to deal with than the swords and arrows of Kunlun Pass.
The guard general of Kunlun Pass is Liu Qingtan, the Taiwei of the Li Dynasty of Vietnam. He led 30,000 troops to station at Kunlun Pass, hoping to stop the soldiers and horses of Daliang.
Li Qiande, the leader of the Li Dynasty of Vietnam, led 70,000 soldiers and horses and 100,000 barbarians from the 36 caves on the left and right rivers to garrison Yongzhou.
After the autumn wind in Daliang wiped out the Southern Song Dynasty and Lu Shinang like falling leaves, the Thirty-Sixth Dong barbarians were unwilling to follow Li Chao's soldiers and plunder the prefectures on Guangxi Road. For them, cities and land were of no use. All they wanted was They had already robbed a lot of gold, silver, treasures and Han slaves. So after hearing the menacing arrival of Daliang soldiers and horses. They all ran back to Yongzhou in a swarm.
Facing Daliang, Li Qiande did not dare to disperse his troops. He simply let the soldiers and horses of the various states plunder and retreat to Yongzhou, hoping to defeat the soldiers and horses of Daliang in Yongzhou.
Back then, Nong Zhigao rebelled. They were also preparing to block the Song Dynasty soldiers and horses at Kunlun Pass. Unexpectedly, Di Qing, the leading general of the Song Dynasty, directly led his troops to bypass Kunlun Pass, disrupting Nong Zhigao's deployment, and finally put down Nong Zhigao's rebellion. Therefore, Li Qiande did not put the main force at Kunlun Pass, but concentrated it in Yongzhou, preparing for a decisive battle with Daliang soldiers and horses in Yongzhou. In order to increase the chance of winning, he also sent people to argue with the masters of Thirty-six Dongdong. Invite them to help in the fight.
Li Qiande knew how powerful the northern soldiers were, but he also knew that most of the northern soldiers would become acclimatized if they stayed in the south for a long time, and there would even be plagues in the army. Giving up the Guangxi Road to the state capitals would also lure the enemy to penetrate deeper. Waiting for Daliang's intention to reduce the number of troops.
It¡¯s just that Chao Yong has formulated strict health regulations for the army, and the imperial doctors led by An Daoquan have carefully prevented and treated it, but there are very few people in the army who are sick. And once the soldiers feel unwell, they can immediately go to the nearest state capital to recuperate. Therefore, there was no plague in the army.
The attrition of Daliang soldiers is not serious, but the serious attrition is the war horses of Hua Rong Department. After Huarong's 10,000 cavalry entered Guangxi Road. More than 3,000 cavalrymen became infantry. Every day, horses fell ill. In order to prevent infection, the horses could only be killed. Soldiers were also strictly prohibited from eating horse meat, not only to prevent infection, but also to prevent people from deliberately killing horses for their meat.
When Daliang soldiers and horses arrived at Kunlun Pass, it was already approaching evening. Chao Yong did not let people set up camp and go down to the stronghold. Instead, he set up a formation and prepared to attack Kunlun Pass.
When Liu Qingtan saw the soldiers and horses of Daliang in formation at the Kunlun Pass, he laughed and said: "The Prince of Daliang really thinks he is a god descending to earth. He will not let the soldiers rest and rest, so he will attack the city overnight. Everyone listens, kill a Daliang." For soldiers and horses, reward three pieces of cloth for killing three, and reward one Han woman."
"good"
"good"
"good"
When a group of Vietnamese soldiers from the Li Dynasty heard how generous their commander was, they howled one after another.
The Vietnamese Li Dynasty plundered Guangxi Road, obtained the property of Liang, and also captured hundreds of thousands of Han people. These Han people were escorted back to the country to divide the spoils after returning to the country. All these Han people will become slaves. The status of slaves in the Li Dynasty of Vietnam was very low. Li Qiande only banned hot writing on slaves three years ago.
There is no need for Chao Yong to boost morale, DaliangAll gentlemen are filled with anger. After entering Guangxi Road, you can see the ruins of burning, killing and looting everywhere. The Li Dynasty in Vietnam only had strong men, and the old and the weak were either killed or robbed of all their money and food. There were old and weak people who starved to death everywhere. In the past, wherever the army went, ordinary people would work for the army with wine and meat. But after they arrived in Guangxi, it was the hungry old and the weak who blocked the road to get a bite to eat.
Chao Yong could only distribute half of the military rations to the victims. At the same time, he asked Guangdong Road to send officials to Guangxi to abbot to relieve the victims, and hired merchant ships to transport money and grain from Guangdong Road to Guangxi.
Fortunately, the Champa rice on Guangdong Road can be harvested three times a year. Although there was a disaster this year, there was a lot of grain in stock. Moreover, Liu Huasan was also controlled by Li Gong in the northern states of Guangdong, which did not affect the entire Guangdong. road.
Hearing the screams of the soldiers and horses of the Li Dynasty in the pass, Li Kui pulled out the ax from his waist and shouted: "Prince, let me go to this pass and chop down those sons of bitches."
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "No rush, let them see our spaceship and fire mine first."
Li Kui smiled and said: "Yes, scare them out of their wits and then kill them."
Dozens of auxiliary troops quickly set up several launch silos in front of the formation. After the battle of crossing the river, Chao Yong asked Hou Jian to build five more spaceships. If it's not enough, Chao Yong will ask Hou Jian to make dozens of spaceships. When attacking Lu Shinang, six spaceships were dispatched together, but before they could exert their power, the chain horses and heavy cavalry defeated Lu Shinang's mob.
In fact, the fire mines carried by the spaceship are limited, and their power is not enough to affect the overall situation. However, this subversive fighting method can directly destroy the enemy's will to fight, so Chao Yong also likes the spaceship. Prepare to form a spaceship team.
The people on the launch silo held up the air bag. After the fire burned for a while, the air bag inflated and slowly rose up, quickly stretching the cable straight.
Li Kui saw Hou Jian and others about to board the airship, and couldn't help but said with envy: "Hou Jian, how about I fly for you?"
Hou Jian said hurriedly: "You haven't flown before, it won't be fun if you fall."
Li Kui pointed at the five people next to him and said with a smile: "They haven't flown before, haven't they? Tell me how to fly, won't I know?"
Chao Yong glared at Li Kui: "All the soldiers have gathered, you ask everyone to wait for you to play. When the fight reaches Yue Li Chao, if you want to play, I will let you play. If you fall, the Yue people will be killed too." ¡±
Li Kui is not afraid. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
Hou Jian and others boarded the spacecraft, and soon the spacecraft went straight to high altitude and headed towards Kunlun Pass.
"what."
"Black Dragon."
"It's the black dragon."
The hot air balloons are all painted with black dragons, and after they take off, the black dragons with their fangs and claws on top look even more ferocious.
The Li Dynasty of Yue claimed to be protected by the Yellow Dragon. Every time it sent out troops, the Yellow Dragon would appear. This time, Li Qiande led his troops to the north. There is also a yellow dragon protecting him, but this yellow dragon cannot be seen by ordinary people.
Huanglong has been recorded countless times in the history books of the Yue and Li Dynasties. It can be said that Huanglong has run through the history of the Yue and Li Dynasties.
Liu Qingtan saw many soldiers behind the gate lying on the ground in fear, and shouted: "That's a Han Chinese spaceship. It's not a black dragon."
Although Daliang¡¯s newspaper has not yet been printed in Guangdong and Guangxi, spies from the Yue Li Dynasty have also inquired about many situations in Daliang, especially spaceships and fire mines.
Li Qiande also asked people to publicize it throughout the army. Of course, it was not to scare his own people. But to reduce the soldiers' fear of the unknown.
But you know, you know, when the spaceship really takes off. Many people still seem to see ghosts and gods.
"It's flying."
"As tall as us."
"It has surpassed us and is still rising."
"The bow and arrow can no longer shoot"
"Coming to us."
Kunlun Gate, the Yue Li Dynasty soldiers watched the spacecraft gradually rise above the Kunlun Gate, and then flew dozens of feet above the Kunlun Gate. They all screamed in surprise.
Liu Qingtan looked at the spaceship flying overhead and was horrified to death. He originally thought that the spaceship might not be able to fly higher than the Kunlun Pass. In that case, they could attack the spacecraft at the Kunlun Pass and use the Kunlun Pass to block the main troops from the pass.
"I didn't expect that the spaceship could fly dozens of feet above Kunlun Pass. In this way, the spaceship could attack them, and they could not attack the spaceship.
Liu Qingtan listened to the shouts of obeisance from all around and knew that they would be defeated if they did not boost their morale. He hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic, it's just a few spaceships. If they can't blow up the Kunlun Pass, we can stop them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the general next to him said: "Sir, please get out of the way."Get out of here, they're coming for us. "
Liu Qingtan looked up and found that a spaceship was really heading towards his head.
A Yue general shouted: "It must be the flag. They must have seen the general's flag."
Everyone immediately realized that the spaceship was dozens of feet away from the pass, and the people on it should not be able to see clearly.
The primary school student holding the flag was so frightened that his face turned pale and the flag trembled.
Another Yue general shouted: "Not necessarily, maybe they are using telescopes. Doesn't the telescope invented by Prince Daliang allow people to see things in the distance?"
Hearing this, all the generals couldn't help but change their expressions. If the people on the spaceship could see them, they would definitely be looking for people wearing armor to explode.
A soldier hurriedly said: "Sir, please take off your armor, lest people on the spacecraft discover you."
Liu Qingtan looked at the golden armor on his body that showed his status. He hesitated for a moment. When he saw that the spaceship above him was much closer, he didn't care about the impact and hurriedly asked his soldiers to help him remove the armor.
The generals wearing gold and silver armor also asked their soldiers to remove their armor.
The Yue and Li Dynasties were not as rich as the Central Plains, but most of the wealth of the Yue and Li Dynasties was concentrated in the hands of officials and nobles, and the wealth of these nobles was no less than that of the large families in the Central Plains. Moreover, the Yue people like to wear gold and silver more than the Han people. Many noble generals wear gilt armor.
On the spaceship, Hou Jian had already used a telescope to see where Liu Qingtan and others were, still about twenty feet away, so he threw a fire mine down.
"Boom"
The fire thunder landed a few feet in front of the pass, hit the bottom of the pass wall, exploded with a loud bang, and blew up a cloud of dust.
The huge power immediately frightened the people behind the gate to the point of peeing. Many people knelt on the ground and knelt down, praying for their legendary yellow dragon to protect the country to appear and take away the black dragon in the sky.
Liu Qingtan saw another black dot whizzing down above his head. He no longer cared about holding on and hurriedly ran to Guanxia.
The power of fire and thunder cannot be resisted by flesh and blood.
When everyone saw it, they rushed to the pass one after another.
Hou Jian was not polite when he saw the people being locked up running away. Huo Lei threw the money into the corridor as if he didn't want the money.
Liu Qingtan ran a few steps when he heard something roaring above his head. When he looked up, a fire thunder had already reached a few feet above his head.
Just as he was about to dodge, the fire thunder had already hit his head. He had just taken off his golden helmet when his head was hit by an iron lump falling from a height of dozens of feet and turned into a rotten watermelon immediately. Then there was a loud noise, and Liu Qingtan turned into a pile of rotten meat.
The generals who followed Liu Qingtan and ran down were also injured a lot. Several fire thunders were accurately thrown on the corridor, and all the Yue people who crowded into the corridor were blown down.
The other five spaceships also continued to drop fire thunder. For a moment, Kunlun closed the door with loud noises and screams.
Many Yue people were shocked by the power of the spaceship and fire thunder, and jumped down without caring about the several-foot-high wall. - Didn't finish reading?
