    Chapter 71 Decisive Battle (Part 1) "Shan." "What a magnificent statement." After the words fell, Dingzhu and He Weiwei laughed and clapped their hands one after another. In the past few days, almost all they heard in their ears were civil and military officials from various places.  The bad news about the rush to surrender to Zhu Butcher, and the sudden appearance of Li Hanqing, an alien who was willing to live and die with the Yuan Dynasty, was really shocking. As for whether his plan to unite Vietnam and entrap Wu could be effective.  , it's secondary, anyway, now that the moment has come, the court will definitely not be stingy with a short title, and even if Zhang Shicheng refuses to raise troops to attack Zhu Butcher's back, there will be no loss for Dingzhu and He Weiwei.  And they could also take the opportunity to recruit the three thousand musketeers Li Hanqing had trained so hard.  Quickly weighing the pros and cons again in his mind, Dingzhu nodded with a smile, "Well, since you are willing to issue a military order, I will give you a chance. Someone will come and serve you with pen and ink." "Come here, I will edit Zhang Shicheng's book for Mr. Right Prime Minister.  They said that the right prime minister, the old man and Li Zhi, the Privy Council member, jointly recommended him to be the king of Yue and the prime minister of the eastern province of Zhejiang. They allowed him to open a palace and build a family, and appoint hundreds of civil and military officials on his own. The letter of recommendation has been sent to the court, and he is just waiting for his consent.  After sending troops to harass Butcher Zhu, the imperial edict and seal will be boarded from Haigu." He Weiwei also smiled and added loudly.  According to the habit of high-ranking Mongolian officials, they all carry reliable pens with them. (Note 1) So, after a while, two middle-aged literati with handsome faces walked in with their waists hunched over, one polished his ink and picked up his pen.  One wrote a letter to Zhang Shicheng for Dingzhu, while the other one spread out the paper, wrote the military order for Li Hanqing, and then asked the latter to sign and stamp it.  After everything was done, Dingzhu immediately sent his confidants to fly to Haigu, mobilized the fastest sentinel ship, and sent his letter to Hangzhou. He Weiwei fulfilled his previous promise and promoted Li Hanqing to calm Luda Luhuachi.  The Privy Council was promoted to the third rank of the Qianyuan, and 7,000 elite troops were allocated from the Chinese Army to supplement the Zhongyi Rescue Corps, which was led by Li Hanqing. Military pay and military rations were all allocated according to the maximum limit.  "Thank you two prime ministers. From now on, I will go through fire and water without hesitation." Li Hanqing finally got his wish and pretended to be grateful and bowed to the ground to thank him.  "Get up, there's no need to go through fire and water. In the decisive battle, you can do your best." Seeing his servile appearance, He Weiwei had just felt a good feeling in his heart, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. He forced a smile and whispered  command.  "Get up. When you go back, carefully integrate the old and new ministries. Don't betray the trust of me and the Left Prime Minister." Dingzhu changed his previously confused look, walked forward with a smile, and helped Li Hanqing up from the deck with both hands.  Warmly admonished.  "Thank you two adults." Li Hanqing struggled to prostrate himself again, respectfully.  "Get up, I and Mr. He are also promoting talents for the country, so you don't have to be too polite." Dingzhu smiled, pulled Li Hanqing up again, and then patiently told a few essentials of controlling the army like elders, and then called  They found Zuo Xiang Taiping and sent him out of the cabin together.  However, when the man's back jumped onto the liaison boat, Dingzhu's eyes quickly began to turn cold, "This man has ulterior motives and must not be entrusted with important tasks." "Let him be happy for a few days, I have already  Among the people who were newly incorporated into the Zhongyi Rescue Corps, we have arranged for confidants. If anyone is found to have acted disobediently, we will immediately punish him." He Weiwei's eyes were as cold as a knife as he stared at Li Hanqing who was gradually going away.  The figure from behind said.  Both of them were powerful officials in the court, and it was their duty to die for the Yuan Dynasty. However, Li Hanqing was just a lowly servant. He had never been looked at seriously by the court in his life. His former boss was unjustly killed, and now  , but this person still showed extraordinary loyalty, and his words and actions were really incomprehensible.  As the saying goes, abnormal things are monsters. For a geek who he cannot understand and is not sure whether he can control it, neither Dingzhu nor He Weiyi will take the risk of keeping him and allowing his strength to continue to grow.  .  However, for the two of them, the most important thing at the moment is not to find an excuse to kill Li Hanqing and avoid future troubles, but to find ways to delay the date of the encounter between the main forces of the enemy and ours until Zhang Shicheng can react. Therefore,  , the two discussed it for a while, and stationed the army in the wilderness beside the canal that night in the name of conserving their strength. The next day, they slowed down their marching speed by half, with each moving ten miles each morning and afternoon.  Speed, crawling forward slowly.  "Perhaps Li Hanqing's strategy worked, or Xu Da suddenly felt the danger. Just as General Dingzhu slowed down the march of his troops, the Huai'an army suddenly launched a new wave of offensive.  On the eighth day of March, the Fourth Army of Huai'an forcibly crossed the Zhang River and defeated Julu. Dalu Huachi died in the battle on the Shunde Road. More than 40 civil and military personnel including the prefect, Zhenfu, etc. surrendered to Xingtai City. The Mongols and Han soldiers on the Guangping and Zhangde roads  Officials fled across the Taihang Mountains to Jining, Handan, Yongnian, LinThe prefectures and other cities were conquered without a fight, and so many new prefectures and counties were added in an instant that the Huaiyang Government Affairs Council had no time to send civilian officials to take over. It could only temporarily promote local gentry who were brave enough to serve and had provided convenience to the general manager of Huaiyang.  "Xiangxian" is in charge.  On March 15, Xu Da personally led the army to conquer Enzhou. Immediately, Zhang Dingbian led an elite brigade to capture the old city. Wu Liangmou led the fourth army to conquer Wuqiao, and together with the main force, formed a joint attack on Lingzhou. Lingzhou  The wealthy businessman Zhang Haobuhua was the father-in-law of the magistrate Wang Keji. He donated 100,000 yuan to reward the army and invited the famous officials and gentry in the city to his home to discuss strategies to resist the Huai thieves. Wang Keji did not know what the plan was and went there happily.  The cup fell to the ground, and all the dead soldiers of the family's servants and the Huaiyang Military Intelligence Action Team were killed, and all the civil and military officials in Hecheng were killed.  Lingzhou was defeated, and the surrounding Mongolian and Yuan officers and soldiers and local warriors were unable to continue to support them. On March 20th, the Huai'an army divided into three groups: left, middle and right. They marched together and recovered Nangong, Zaoqiang, Ningjin, Leling and other places in a few days.  At the end of the month, all the prefectures and counties along the way changed their banners, and Xu Da's troops pointed directly at Dongguang.  After Dong Pei, the general of Lu Hua Chi in Hejian Road, was Dong Wenbing, a long-time general in the early Yuan Dynasty, he assessed the situation very early and established close contacts with the Huaiyang General Manager's Office. When he heard that Xu Da's army was approaching, Dong Pei was eager to make contributions.  In the name of "fighting the Huai thieves", he personally led his troops to Dongguang, and then invited his Mongolian and Han officials, such as deputy Wanhu, experience, and Zhenfu, to the government office to conspire to respond to the Huaihe River in order to seek wealth for the rest of his life.  Unexpectedly, Xu Deguang, his sworn brother whom he single-handedly promoted, was publicly scolded by him for embezzling military pay. He harbored a grudge against him. He openly agreed to rectify the army and abandoned the dark side for the bright side. However, privately, he colluded with Hu Sein, the prefect of Semu, and Qian Hu.  Li Hui suddenly raised troops in the middle of the night to "capture the rebels."  Daru Hua Chi Dong Pei was a hereditary military officer. His own ability to govern was average, he was rough and arrogant by nature, and he had a wide circle of friends. He acted based on his heart. However, in a hurry, he was caught off guard by Hussein and others. In less than an hour, he acted as  The temporary prefecture's Yamen was breached. Except for a young son who was sent to contact the Huai'an army, Dong Pei and his four sons and two sons-in-law who accompanied the army were all killed in the rebellion.  The fighting lasted all night. In the morning of the next day, Hussein, Xu Deguang and others slaughtered all the confidants of Daru Hua Chi and Dong Pei, as well as the Huai'an Military Intelligence Service soldiers in the city. They were originally affiliated with Hejian Wanhu Mansion.  More than 10,000 local soldiers and horses, as well as 20,000 volunteers temporarily recruited by the Dong family some time ago, most of them fled, and those who stayed behind were wrapped up by Hussein and others, and the total was less than 5,000.  Hussein knew that with only 5,000 men, he could never stop Xu Da's 200,000 troops, so he openly ransacked the city, taking away all the gold, silver, soft goods and other objects of interest, and then returned to the city.  He set a fire and led Xu Deguang and others to escape to Nanpi, trying to defect to Dingzhu.  As a result, they were only halfway through when they were overtaken by Wu Liangmou and his troops who came after hearing the news. As soon as the two sides formed a formation, the 5,000-yuan army collapsed immediately. Generals such as Hu Sein, Xu Deguang, and Li Hui, unable to escape, knelt down and prayed for surrender. Huai'an  The commander of the Fifth Army, Shi Lu Deshan, hated Hu Sein and others for causing harm to innocent people. Citing the old practice of the trial of Zhang Mingjian, he sentenced all the generals to death on the spot and hung their heads on a high pole as a warning to those who would come after him.  Three days later, the Dong family in Hejian heard the bad news, and the whole family returned to Huaiyang. In early April, Xianzhou, Hejian, Fucheng and other places were conquered without attacking. At this time, the main force of the Yuan army under Dingzhu arrived.  Cangzhou is still more than a hundred miles away from Nanpi.  The Dong family has been entrenched and multiplied on Hejian Road for nearly a hundred years. It is known as one family and ten noble families, and it can be said that it is a big tree with deep roots. Therefore, the Dong family took the lead in surrendering to Huai'an, which caused a great shock to the local area. Soon, several other families on Zhending Road  The families of the Han army princes also erected flags of justice in the cities where they lived, or directly declared their surrender to Huaiyang, or followed the example of the late Jin Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, forming strongholds to protect themselves, preparing to assess the situation and wait for the price to be sold.  .  As soon as the princes' control over the people was loosened, the people became more and more eager to welcome the Huai'an army. Everyone knew that behind the Huai'an army were thousands of grain ships. Every time a Chinese homeland was recovered, the first thing to do was  Stop the ship to release food and provide relief to the victims. As long as you go to the area controlled by the Huai'an Army, no matter you are male, female, old or young, you just need to do a few very easy things according to the other party's instructions, or help drive the carriage, or help pull the cable.  Can be exchanged for a whole day's rations.  There were no disasters in Hejian last year, but it was too close to the capital city, and most of the grain produced was plundered by the government to support the Yuan army. Therefore, the people have not had a full meal since the beginning of spring. From the head of Huaiyang  After receiving the first bowl of food from the hands of the civilian officials trained by the government, they were all grateful and virtuous. Some young and strong people with smart minds simply asked to join the army on the spot. Those who were weak and timid also asked Manager Zhu  The name of his benevolence and righteousness spread everywhere, hoping that the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty would be overthrown as soon as possible and replaced by Zhu Fozi, a wise and wise king, to ascend the throne and save all people in the world from fire and water.  Unlike the common people who were eagerly looking forward to the Huai'an Army, there were no surprises along the way.There were powerful gentry who were determined to be slaves, as well as lustful tax collectors, who fled north and continuously delivered the latest trends on Xu Da's side to Dingzhu and He Weiwei for free.  The main force of the Huai'an army was close, and they immediately stopped. At the same time, they sent their trusted general Alutai to "recover" Hejian Mansion, open up the passage between Hejian Road and Baoding Road, and urged Yue Kuochaer to immediately lead various local troops.  Come for reinforcements, seize the surrounding favorable terrain, and prepare to rely on Cangzhou City to fight Xu Da to the death. (Note 2) Note 1: Secretary, called Bi Shiqi in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and Bi Tie in the Qing Dynasty.  Note 2: Tax collectors, a kind of lazy government in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, contracted the taxation of a certain place to the semu people, and they collected taxes on behalf of the court. After paying a certain amount, the rest could fall into their own pockets, and these semu people  The tax collectors were greedy, which led to the decline of local people's livelihood. The commercial culture that had been booming since the Song Dynasty quickly shrank to nothing.  ??Drinker¡¯s Note: The countdown to the completion of this book begins.
