Chapter 113: Fourteen Years of Orthodoxy
The shout still came from the mouths of the two thousand auxiliaries, and this sound became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Seeing that the general trend was gone, a soldier of the First Shang Dynasty finally threw his weapon on the ground, squatted down and held his head, and made a gesture of surrender.
With the first man, then there was the second man, and then there was the third man, and soon all that could be heard in the tens of thousands of enemy troops was the sound of weapons being thrown on the ground, and the army was completely demoralized.
The Yang family's navy quickly stationed in Lugang, and a large number of auxiliaries walked out of the warship, and they picked up the weapons thrown on the ground one by one in an orderly manner, and then groups of prisoners were tied together, one by one, as if wearing sugar gourds.
"Battalion Commander Gao, this place is handed over to you, I will lead the army to rush to Taichung City at the speed of a rapid march, and strive to liberate it before dawn." Leng Song strode in front of Kaohsiung, who had just landed on the shore, and gave a military salute, with a hint of excitement on his face.
Some people are born to be soldiers. They are not afraid of war, but if there is no war, they will feel that something is missing. Leng Song and Kaohsiung are obviously such people.
"Okay, Camp Commander Leng just goes, I'll leave it to me here. By the way, I don't need to send some people to assist you, how can I say that Taichung is also a big city in Xiaoliuqiu Island. Kaohsiung asked with concern.
"No, the investigation shows that there are no heavy troops there, and with my Leng Feng with three companies plus two thousand auxiliaries is enough to control there, let's go." Leng Song refused Kaohsiung's support, turned around and hurried towards Taichung City with the army.
"Keep a close eye on the captives, but remember not to abuse them or beat them." After Kaohsiung watched Leng Feng leave, he began to do the work of sweeping the tail. It is worth mentioning that Yu Qian and Shen You are also busy together, they don't know that after more than two months of experience, they have gradually begun to adapt to the environment and life here, and they have imperceptibly regarded themselves as a part of the Red Embedded City and started to do what they can.
Taichung City.
The city wall is more than ten meters high, which is one of the largest cities in Xiaoliuqiu Island.
There are nearly 200,000 people here, many of whom migrated from the mainland, and then slowly adapted to life here.
It is only a dozen miles away from Lukang, and when the cannon roars in the distance, the people in the city can feel it to some extent, which makes many people stay at home nervously and dare not go to the street to inquire about anything.
It's like the darkness before dawn, and the whole city is under a terrifying pressure, as if any spark can ignite it.
It took more than half an hour for Leng Song to lead the army to Taichung City, and with their arrival, the city gate took the initiative to open from the inside, which was the masterpiece of the infiltration team.
The city gate was opened, and without much effort, the army entered the city, and then quickly controlled the important officials of the first Shang Dynasty and the four city gates in the city according to the previous exercise plan, as for the less than five hundred defenders in the city, they were either killed or surrendered, and there was no third way to go.
Yu controlled the entire Taichung City without a breath, this is a well-trained cold front, they do not hurt the people, do not rob the people. It wasn't until the next morning, when some bold people in the city pushed open their doors and walked out onto the street, that they found that there were many more young soldiers who were tall and healthy, and full of spirit.
They were different from the original soldiers defending the city, they were polite and did not offend the people, and even when some people fell down the street for fear of seeing them, these soldiers in charge of patrolling and maintaining law and order would stop and stretch out their hands to help each other, so that they were as amiable as the big brother of the neighbor for many years.
The behavior of the auxiliaries eventually infected the people in the city, and more people went out of their homes...
It's business as usual in Taichung City.
With the momentum of lightning, it took only one night to quickly take Lukang, and the rapid march of troops captured Taichung City without blood. As a result, the situation on Xiaoliuqiu Island has undergone a fundamental change.
Originally, it was only based on the Red Castle, and at best it only occupied one-eighth of the area of the entire Xiaoliuqiu Island. But after successively taking Qishan, Alishan, Yushan, Lukang and Taichung, they occupied at least two-thirds of the entire island, and the remaining one-third was the capital of the First Shang Dynasty, that is, the north-central region. But it is also the most densely populated place in the entire Xiaoliuqiu Island.
In the first battle of Lukang and Taichung, more than 1,000 enemies were killed, 11,000 enemies were captured, and more than 200,000 people were ruled. The population strength of the Yang family was greatly strengthened, so that it once reached a population of 400,000, and the army plus auxiliary soldiers had nearly 10,000 people.
The battle greatly strengthened the strength of the Yang family, and at the same time made them the strongest force in the small Liuqiu Island.
The Battle of Lukang was a battle in which fewer won more, and it also proved that it was justified that there were not many soldiers but more value than fine.
But at this time, neither Kaohsiung nor Leng Song had any intention of continuing to expand the results of the war and enter the central and northern regions. Under the rapid development, what the Yang family's forces need is stability and digestion, rather than continuing to encroach and swallow it, otherwise, it is very likely that there will be internal chaos.
Yang Chendong once said that the battles should be fought one by one, and the cities should be occupied one by one, don't just think about occupying the territory, and ignore the internal development, in this way, the quality of life of the people will show a serious downward trend, so that the building may collapse at any time.
What the new army needs now is to digest everything that has just been gained, which may take half a year or even longer. These people have to redistribute the land, but also learn new learning, learn to be hygienic, understand politeness, and thoroughly integrate into the Yang family system, I am afraid that it is only half a year to learn a skin.
Fortunately, both the new army and Yang Chendong as a leader are young enough, and they still have time to develop everything. And they can also use this time to negotiate with the First Shang Dynasty to see if there is any hope that they can peacefully take over the Central and Northern regions and reduce the killings.
Negotiation! This is a means for the Yang family, a way to delay time, and they need to digest what they have just gained.
Negotiation! It is indeed the only way for the First Shang Dynasty to solve the current crisis. After Leng Song expressed his willingness to negotiate, the other party's mission soon came.
Their posture is very low, directly showing their subordination, expressing their willingness to become a vassal state, and their willingness to pay tribute every year. But they also put forward their demand, that is, to ensure the existence of autonomy, that is, with Taichung as the dividing line, the north area belongs to the First Shang Dynasty, and the south is owned by the Yang family.
Such a result is obviously inconsistent with Yang Chendong's previous arrangement, what he wants is to fully occupy Xiaoliuqiu Island.
Once the new army has digested the fruits it has just gained, it can launch another campaign to completely solve the problem of the entire Xiaoliuqiu Island.
Yang Chendong's power is developing rapidly, and among the Beijing teachers, he is preparing for the New Year in Yangjiazhuang in a low-key manner.
1449, the fourteenth year of orthodoxy.
This year is remembered in history, if nothing else, this year will be the famous Tumubao incident in history, which also represents the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's decline from prosperity.
In fact, since he entered the Beijing Division, Yang Chendong has been thinking about how this move should be made?
already knows what will happen next, and with Yang Chendong's ability, he can completely change history and prevent the slightest slight. But he has never done this, and even has only been using troops on Xiaoliuqiu Island, and in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he has only developed commerce and made a Yang Bao and a fairy residence. He was afraid that because his actions were too big, it would affect the direction of future history.
Looking at the current Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs were in power, which put everyone in danger to the ministers.
The traitorous ministers are in power, and even the position of the eunuch can be hereditary, if it continues like this, sooner or later something will happen to the Ming Dynasty, and it is only the people of Li who suffer.
As a Han Chinese, Yang Chendong certainly doesn't want to watch his compatriots endure the suffering of life, what he wants is to see the strength of the Han people and eventually become the master of this world. For this big goal, the hundreds of thousands of Han army brothers under the Tumubao Revolution can only become a kind of sacrifice.
With a sigh, thinking of the fact that so many loyal ministers and good generals were going to die under the change of Tumubao, Yang Chendong's face was pale, this was the loss of the Ming Dynasty and the loss of the country, but when he thought of his current status and influence, he couldn't do anything, even if he mobilized the Red Embedded Army now, maybe it would attract the anger of the imperial court against him and the forbearance of Wara. After all, the outside must first be safe, but it has been around since ancient times.
"Young master, the eldest sister is here." Yang Chendong, who was sighing freely in the study, suddenly saw Qiaoyin walking into the study with a smile on his face.
"Is the eldest sister here?" Hearing that it was Yang Fei who was visiting, Yang Chendong hurriedly got up and went out. Among these brothers and sisters, he has the deepest feelings for his eldest sister and the most respect, in addition to the fact that his eldest sister grew up with him when he was a child, perhaps also because Yang Fei gives people a feeling of being an eldest sister like a mother.
In the main hall of Yangjiazhuang, Yang Fei sat on a chair and sipped tea, and behind her, there were two close-fitting maids.
I think that at the beginning, when Yang Fei got married, the Yang family was at the peak of its establishment, and it was naturally very good to marry. At that time, the Wang family was also a big family, and now the eldest brother-in-law Wang Meng has become the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites in his early forties, and the official residence is the fifth grade.
Wang Meng is a person who is Confucian and erudite, and he respects Yang Fei like a guest, and the life of the two has always been very harmonious. And Yang Fei is well-informed and reasonable, quite a noble mother, and the entire Wang family is also managed by her in an orderly manner, and has been praised by many people.
