Chapter 823: Heavenly Punishment
"What do you want?"
At this moment, a majestic rebuke was heard from the sky, and then a figure with auspicious light slowly descended from the clouds.
The Han army below immediately stopped.
Immediately after that, everyone on both sides hurriedly dismounted and knelt on the ground, even Zhang Dingbian sighed helplessly and got off the horse, and then bowed respectfully to the ground to welcome the arrival of the immortal master, just in their bowing, Yang Feng finally fell, and at the same time Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong, who hurried with the head, also presented the head of the Timurid father and son.
"Immortal Master, disciple Wu Guo, deputy marshal of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Chang Yuchun Xian, Tatar chief Tu Timur, pseudo-prince Aiyu Zhi Litra head."
Chang Yuchun said.
"Very good, return to the king of Wu, three months later to the throne ceremony, but although the Tatar chieftains are ambushed, the remnants are still entrenched in various places, you must eliminate the evil, you can continue to sweep forward, do not let it resurge, as for the Han, Wu and Yue armies each by their own volition, those who want to continue to make meritorious contributions will return to you and other moderation, and those who do not want to return to their homes."
Yang Feng said with satisfaction.
In fact, he had been watching the sky for a few days.
This result is the most in line with his mind, among the three, Zhang Shicheng is actually a representative of the gentry, although this person has a good reputation, but if he becomes the emperor, then the gentry power will become bigger, this is inevitable, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang killed Zhang Shicheng after the large-scale relocation of the three Wu Haoqiang is to destroy the control of the gentry in this area. Chen Youliang doesn't have this problem, he is more like a grassroots regime, but he has a limited political level, acts impatiently and is a little reckless, just watch him kill Xu Shouhui, if he becomes an emperor, it is easy to become a tyrant.
Zhu Yuanzhang is much stronger in this regard.
And he is not like those two people have stains, Zhang Shicheng surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty no matter what, it is considered a loss of reputation, and Chen Youliang killing Xu Shouhui is also considered a murder of the king, and he loses points in virtue, but Zhu Yuanzhang does not have these two stains, although later generations have all kinds of black on him, but compared with other people in this era, you will find that he is really the whitest one, originally it can be said that he killed Han Lin'er in history, but now this does not exist at all.
"As for you!"
He turned to look at Zhang Dingbian.
The latter knelt there with a blank face.
"Go back and tell King Han that I will return to Yingtian in two months, he will wait for me there, and I will settle your affairs."
Yang Feng said.
"Disciple Honor!"
Zhang Dingbian said.
In this way, the Lord of Destiny was really born, Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, became the lord of China, and then Yang Feng flew to the confrontation between Wu Yuejun and the Han army to announce the result, and Zuo Junbi could only helplessly obey the order, although the most aggrieved people in this were them, they defeated the Yuan army in the decisive battle of Hexi, but they were robbed of the fruit by others.
But now they can only admit the reality.
The next day, the second group of Wu troops led by Xu Da arrived and entered Dadu.
Then the Han army and the Wu Yue army were divided internally, and those who had the intention to make meritorious contributions left the team and joined Xu Da, and then were quickly incorporated by the latter to follow him and Chang Yuchun to continue the northern expedition to attack Shanxi and Datong, while those who did not want to work for Zhu Yuanzhang, such as Zhang Dingbian, turned south. But they are not at a loss, the Dadu Palace and those princes and nobles were cleaned up by these guys, and Zhang Shicheng's subordinates also looted the landlords and powerful families along the way, anyway, these guys are not a good thing.
And Xu Da didn't bother to care, and he didn't dare to care either.
In fact, before there was a large-scale mutiny, it was fortunate that the immortal master suppressed it.
As for the landlords who surrendered in the north, they can only consider themselves unlucky at this time, and they have burned high incense if they are not liquidated.
In the end, 10,000 of the 30,000 cavalry who followed Zhang Dingbian to raid the capital followed the south, but the extra horses and camels were also taken away by them, and the 50,000 Northern Expeditionary Army of Lu Zhen and Zuo Junbi only had 10,000 to go south, in the final analysis, for those middle and low-level officers and soldiers, they didn't care who was the emperor, anyway, whoever became the emperor had to rely on them to continue the war. In this way, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun obtained more than 20,000 elite cavalry at once, as well as 40,000 line infantry who had just beaten the Mongol iron cavalry, plus 50,000 Wu troops who were constantly at sea, and he had a full 110,000 elite troops equivalent to the level of the Napoleonic Wars.
This strength is quite terrifying, let alone sweeping the northwest, that is, in the next four hundred years, almost no army can compete with it.
The results of such a large army of the Northern Expedition can be imagined.
In fact, it was true that the next thing was true, and then Chang Yuchun led the cavalry out of Juyongguan to quickly take Xuande and other places, and at the same time that Li Wenzhong led 10,000 cavalry to march upward, he led the main force to the west to Datong, and Xu Da led the infantry out of the Flying Fox Road to cross the Taihang Mountain, and then divided the troops to Datong and Taiyuan, so they began their journey to sweep the northwest.
Their enemies were powerless to resist, and they were only using the distance to survive.
Polo Timur was originally beaten by Zhang Dingbian and shrunk to Shanxi, and Li Siqi, who was in the fourth general of Guanzhong, had already prepared to surrender through Ming Yuzhen's contact.
Of course, Yang Feng doesn't need to worry about these little things.
And before he returned to Yingtian, there was still a small matter to deal with, and in fact, he didn't need to deal with it, he just took the opportunity to pretend to be a force.
Korea.
"Disciple greets the Immortal Master!"
Liao Yongzhong led his subordinates to bow to the ground.
At this time, their position was on the north bank of the Han River, and in the distance of them were the continuous mountains, and in the middle of the mountains, a large road ran through the mountain pass, and an army of tens of thousands of people, including cavalry, was arraying the mountain pass......
Well, this is the Koreans, and behind them is Kaegyo.
"What's going on?"
Yang Feng pointed at this army with a majestic face and said.
Liao Yongzhong's escort mission was over, and during this time of idleness, he bombarded almost all the northern pirates into the bottom of the sea, and the galleys of those pirates were completely waiting to be slaughtered under the bombardment of the gunboats' battle line. Those coastal fishermen and merchants were forced to surrender, and then sent back to the sparsely populated inland of Shandong to open up wasteland for farming, and those Japanese or Goryeo Japanese invaders were all bombarded to the bottom of the sea, and those who surrendered simply shot targets, and finally the Japanese who had harassed the north for many years were swept away.
Then he began to assert suzerainty to the coastal subjects.
The three kings of the Ryukyus had officially declared themselves vassals to the Great Song Dynasty, but Liao Yongzhong also explained to them that they would be elected by the new Lord of the Mandate of Heaven and officially pay tribute at his enthronement ceremony.
The Wa Kingdom has not passed because it is too far away.
In fact, at this time, the Japanese were still playing the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the two emperors of the Northern and Southern Dynasties were in Yoshino and Kyoto, and the former was actually in Nara. And the princes of the Wa Kingdom have their own support, including the princes on the island of Kyushu, who are also divided into two factions to support the two emperors, the situation there is a bit complicated, and it has always been outside the scope of the Huaxia Dynasty's concern, and these have recently relied on their sulfur, so there is no need to deal with them for the time being.
And the vassal of Goryeo must be taken.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's identity was confirmed, Liao Yongzhong was even more enthusiastic about this, after all, when Lao Zhu ascended the throne, he drove a group of vassals to worship, which was also very face-saving.
However......
"Returning to the Immortal Master, Wang Qi refuses to be a minister."
Liao Yongzhong said.
"Refuse to be a vassal? Where did he get so daring? ”
Yang Feng said unexpectedly.
Originally, Wang Qi was very happy in history, but it was many years later in the original history, and during this period, Wang Qi also clashed with the Mongols many times, especially Empress Qi even instigated Tu Timur to send troops to escort his cousin Tasi Timur......
Wang Qi's cousin.
Goryeo in the Yuan Dynasty had shaved their hair and was easy to wear.
The Goryeo royal family and nobles not only shaved their hair and wore Mongolian clothes, but also wore Mongolian braids on their heads, but also used Mongolian names and spoke Mongolian language, in fact, they had always had a close relationship with the Mongols, not only did Timur's wife be Korean, but Wang Qi's wife was also a Mongolian princess. During the entire Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols had the final say in the administration of Goryeo, and the Yuan Dynasty still garrisoned troops in Goryeo, which was basically equivalent to the early days of Japanese rule in Korea.
Previously, Mr. Guan and the Red Turban Army of Potou Pan continued to chisel through the northern part of the Yuan Dynasty, and even chiseled through Liaodong all the way to Goryeo.
Wang Qi had just recaptured Kaijing from the Red Turban Army a year before Yang Feng's arrival.
I have to say that this Northern Expeditionary Army, which has never been mentioned in modern history books, is really fierce.
This is the real national hero.
Unfortunately, no one ever mentioned them, although they created a series of miracles, except for the later Long March, there were few examples that could be compared with their expeditions, starting from Heze, Shandong Province, they spent five years to fight an almost identical long march of 10,000 miles, playing a miraculous chisel through the enemy's hinterland. With modern maps, they passed through Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, and North Korea from Shandong, and hit South Korea at a glance, and repeatedly turned in Shanxi and Hebei, and the entire route added up to absolutely more than 10,000, and finally Mr. Guan died in Kaijing, that is, the 38th parallel, and the broken head Pan withdrew to Liaoyang and was defeated and captured under the attack of Chakhan Timur, and no one knew the final result, and it was estimated that he refused to surrender and was killed.
But it also made the Koreans understand that the Mongols were finished.
But now Wang Qi actually refuses to be a minister?
"Hui Immortal Master, it is said that Wang Qi has not been in charge since the death of his wife of the Tartar princess, and his government is entrusted to a monk who is in charge of slandering the immortal master as a demon, so Wang Qi refuses to be a minister."
Liao Yongzhong said cautiously.
In fact, it is not only the Goryeo people who say that the immortal master is evil, there are scattered everywhere, after all, there are a bunch of people who are denounced as heretics by the immortal master, it is impossible for them not to hold a grudge against the immortal master, but these people only dare to say a few words in the dark, after all, the miracles of the immortal master are all there, and the number of fanatical believers of the immortal master is growing day by day, and they really dare to openly slander the immortal master and be beaten or even hacked to death.
But the Koreans are different.
"Hmph, what a fearlessness for the ignorant!"
Yang Feng sneered.
He also remembered at this time that Wang Qi did throw the government to a bald head in the later period, and the latter also controlled the government of Goryeo for six years, during which a large number of reforms were carried out against the nobles and the powerful, so that the common people shouted the saints, but Wang Qi still did not resist the pressure of the nobles and the powerful, and ended the reform with the execution of him, which also destroyed the last ray of life in Goryeo, and then Wang Qi was assassinated, Goryeo civil strife, Li Chenggui rose, Wang's Goryeo perished, and Lee's Joseon replaced him.
"The immortal master is angry, and the disciple should behead this demon."
Liao Yongzhong hurriedly said.
"There is no need to wait, this generation dares to blaspheme the God of Haotian, and he should be punished by heaven!"
Yang Feng said.
"Take your subordinates on the ship and return to the sea, don't return here for the next ten years, and inform King Wu that no soldiers and civilians will be allowed to come here for the next ten years."
Then he said.
"Disciple obeys!"
Liao Yongzhong wiped a cold sweat and hurriedly boarded the ship with his subordinates.
The Goryeo soldiers in the array opposite him didn't know what was going on, thinking that their military might had scared these guys away, but no wonder they misunderstood, Liao Yongzhong actually brought a battalion of marines, and there were only a thousand people in total plus artillery, these marines didn't even have armor, nothing more than a rifle per person, looking at the neat appearance of the army, the others were not much stronger than the miscellaneous auxiliaries, and their side, including 3,000 cavalry, more than 10,000 elites with bright armor, so it was normal for these southern troops to escape.
The Goryeo generals who led the team immediately ordered to take advantage of the opportunity to attack.
Three thousand completely Mongolized Goryeo cavalry, even with pigtails on their heads, immediately moved forward.
"This is really the fearlessness of the ignorant!"
Liao Yongzhong said speechlessly.
He looked at the Immortal Master who was flying into the clouds, and then waved his right hand forward.
Behind him, on the battleships that entered the Han River by the tide, hundreds of cannons suddenly erupted into flames, although the distance was full of solid bullets, but hundreds of iron balls, the smallest and the size of a fist, crashed into the cavalry at close to the speed of sound, still shooting a piece of flesh and blood, and the original momentum of the charge collapsed instantly.
"I can't help myself!"
Liao Yongzhong said as he boarded the dinghy.
In the great drama of the naval artillery bombarding the cavalry, he and more than a thousand marines calmly withdrew to the sea, and then sailed away from the mouth of the Han River......
"Dashuai, what's that?"
His soldier pointed to the sky in the direction of Kaijing and said in a trembling voice.
In the sky full of fish scales sunset, a round of noon sun radiated dazzling light, Liao Yongzhong exclaimed, subconsciously covering his eyes, but this light was fleeting, and then the sky turned into a fiery red like lava, and everyone in the whole sea screamed, looking at this strange and spectacular celestial phenomenon, and then the fiery red also faded, and then like a magic dragon rising in the sky, a mushroom-shaped black cloud rose from the direction of Kaijing and pierced the sky......
An earth-shattering bang swept across the sea.
"Heavenly punishment, this is heavenly punishment!"
Liao Yongzhong muttered to himself.
