Kyungwon.

"Disciple knocks on the immortal master."

A burly middle-aged man knelt down and kowtowed in front of Yang Feng, and behind him were also a large number of soldiers and civilians who knelt down and kowtowed.

"King of the Sea, please get up!"

Yang Feng raised his hand indifferently and said.

The latter involuntarily stood up, and then bowed his head with awe, this is Fang Guozhen, who controls Ningbo and Taiwen, after Zhang Shicheng also became a prince of the Great Song Dynasty, he no longer has the qualifications to be the first rat at both ends, so like Zhang Shicheng, he stopped the Cao Yun to the north and killed the Mongolian officials he controlled, and then officially surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, but he was not on the Mandate of Heaven candidate list, and the territory was too small, and he was finally named the king of Linhai County.

He himself was happy with this.

He has no ambition to compete for the world, although the population of the area under his control is actually several times larger than that of Ming Yuzhen.

One million in Taizhou, 500,000 in Wenzhou, and 500,000 in Qingyuan, but 500,000 in Qingyuan is abnormal, because the number of households in Qingyuan far exceeds that in Taizhou, and the ratio of the number of households and the number of mouths in the latter is normal, so the actual number of households in Qingyuan must be much more than the official record. The statistics of the Yuan Dynasty were very sloppy, especially since their rule over the localities was completely dependent on the landlords, who must have done everything possible to conceal the tax mouth, after all, one person is one tax, and in this way, the official record has added up to two million. And he has hardly experienced any real war, that is, Fang Guozhen was attacked when he was a pirate at the beginning, but after he was recruited, there was basically no war, and such a place must also be liked by refugees, so at this time, it is absolutely no pressure for him to say that he has pulled out hundreds of thousands of young adults.

But there is little loyalty.

To put it bluntly, it was the landlords of these three places who were invited by Haoqiang to be his bodyguard.

The Mongols could not guarantee their safety, so they hired pirates.

But the core of Ming Yuzhen is hundreds of thousands of White Lotus disciples who moved into Sichuan with him, and the loyalty of these people is not comparable to Fang Guozhen's subordinates, originally four years later in history, Zhu Yuanzhang, who ranked 27th among the 34 meritorious heroes, took tens of thousands of partial divisions to easily sweep away the three places that he had been operating for more than ten years, and the top generals such as Tang He, Liao Yongzhong, and Fu Youde went out to fight.

Fang Guozhen also knows this.

So he is very satisfied with a county king, and whether it is Zhang Shicheng or Zhu Yuanzhang, they have already made a guarantee to him that as long as they ascend the throne, they will immediately give him a king of Yue.

And the guarantor of this promise is Yang Feng, so he must serve Yang Feng wholeheartedly.

What's more, the immortal master also came to teach him to build a new type of sea ship, gave him accurate charts, let him know how vast the world was in front of him, and even taught him to make cans, and taught him to dry salt, especially the method of salt tan, so that salt making completely got rid of salt stoves and iron pots. This alone caused the salt production of the eastern coast of Zhejiang to skyrocket and the cost plummeted, which was a method that only appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, and coupled with a similar but smaller investment, the salt industry in eastern Zhejiang suddenly entered the nineteenth century. As for the flat beach drying method, there is no need, that technology is actually very complicated, the two methods of plate drying and salt tan are sufficient, and the flat beach drying method was actually developed after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

As for agricultural technology, not to mention health care.

In short, the immortal master is like really sprinkling holy light, bringing all kinds of changes to the people of eastern Zhejiang, and he is also worshiped by the people like a real god......

Well, he's the real god.

"This is your fleet?"

Yang Feng looked at the densely arranged warships in the Sanjiang Estuary in front of him and said.

This is Fang Guozhen's fleet.

However, at this time, the warships on the sea have not completely gotten rid of the galleys, but the number of oars has been greatly reduced, and it has become a kind of backup power, especially for acceleration on the battlefield, but the civilian ships have begun to completely abandon this, and Fang Guozhen has the strongest navy among the princes of this era. Of course, he also has the strongest shipbuilding capacity in this era, the shipbuilding base of the Southern Song Dynasty was basically in his hands, so he has thousands of various warships in his hands, and this time all the main forces gathered at the mouth of the three rivers are the main force, and it looks quite spectacular, and the dense sail forest stretches on the Yongjiang River without end.

"Immortal Master, there are a total of 20,000 sailors, and 450 warships of all sizes."

Fang Guozhen said respectfully.

"Who's going to rule?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Younger brother Guoying, nephew Mingshan is the chief and deputy commander."

Fang Guozhen said.

At the same time, the two generals behind him stepped forward, and Yang Feng looked at them with satisfaction.

He's going south.

The Northern Expedition was handed over to Zhu Yuanzhang and the three of them, and he was personally responsible for solving the rear for these people, he wanted to set off from here to the south, solve Chen Youding and He Zhen respectively, and then complete the pacification of Guangxi from the upper reaches of the Pearl River, complete the unification of the south as soon as possible and wait for the results of the north, and cooperate with Ming Yuzhen to move Yunnan south, return to Hunan from Guizhou and solve the Yang family in Banzhou by the way, so that when the Northern Expedition of Zhu Yuanzhang and the three of them ended, the reunification would be almost completed.

And his first stop was Fuzhou.

"Immortal Master, Chen Youding is very stubborn."

Fang Guozhen reminded him.

Chen Youding is indeed very stubborn, this guy completely regards himself as a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty, even if he is captured alive by Zhu Yuanzhang, he refuses to surrender, and he also shouts righteously and awe-inspiringly, the country is ruined, and he will be killed if he wants to kill, and he doesn't know how Chen Wenlong's hometown has such a strange thing.

But......

"The mantis arm is just a car!"

Yang Feng said indifferently.

Chen Youding is not his real target, his real target is some other people, those are the ones he must kill, and then he boarded the nearest giant battleship, behind him Fang Guoying's uncle and nephew quickly boarded the ship, and the huge fleet slowly moved......

At the same time, two thousand miles away, on both sides of the Tuan River north of the inner countryside of Henan, a major war officially kicked off.

Yuan army against Han army.

The Yuan army finally ended the infighting for the time being.

Chen Youliang suddenly went north, and broke through Nanyang with great speed, and began to attack Luoyang, so that Wang Baobao, who had already occupied the advantage in Guanzhong, immediately fell into the belly and back of the enemy, after all, Henan is his rear, in the envoy sent by Emperor Yuan Shun said peace, he quickly and Polo Timur truce, in exchange for withdrawing from Guanzhong, in exchange for the latter to let him leave safely, and then led the army out of Shangluo Dao to attack Chen Youliang's flank, as for Polo Timur......

Will he still be able to help?

Although Emperor Yuan Shun hoped that Polo Timur would give up his previous suspicions and send troops with Wang Baobao to destroy Chen Youliang first, Polo Timur announced that he would go south to Hanzhong to destroy Shu to destroy Ming Yuzhen, and then sweep the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, anyway, he would not cooperate with Wang Baobao.

Since this is the case, Emperor Yuan Shun is helpless, he can go wherever he likes!

Polo Timur did not send troops, then Zhang Liangbi, who was bullied by Wang Baobao in Guanzhong, of course did not do it, this time Wang Baobao entered Guanzhong in order to carve up his territory with Li Siqi, how could he turn his head to help Wang Baobao, and then Chen Youliang was in the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong, and Chen Youliang could not enter Guanzhong, so even Li Siqi refused to send troops under the pretext of attacking Sichuan with Polo Timur, he was an ally of Wang Baobao, and he partnered with Wang Baobao and his father, and he also started by resisting the Red Turban Army before, But this time, even he was not interested in Wang Baobao, after all, he was going to send troops to Henan, and Polo Timur would immediately rob him of Fengxiang.

In the end, Wang Baobao could only be full of anger, as well as Kong Xing and Deliebo, and the two departments killed Shang Luodao.

And Chen Youliang was waiting for him in the inner countryside.

"Mongolian warriors, kill, kill all these minions like our ancestors!"

On the west bank of the Turbulent River, Wang Baobao galloped in front of the battle, like Xiyuton before the decisive battle, brandishing his sword and striking the spears of the soldiers to boost morale, while the same Mongol cavalry, still immersed in the glory of their ancestors, also roared excitedly, but at this time on their flanks, the two divisions of Kong Xing and Deleb clearly did not have such enthusiasm.

"Kill!"

After the performance, Wang Baobao waved his knife and pointed ahead.

The light cavalry in the formation was the first to move forward, and thousands of horses swept through the wilderness of early winter with thunderous hooves, like a raging black tide across the turbulent river in the dry period, and in front of them tens of thousands of infantry were densely arrayed, and countless spears stretched out forward formed a terrifying dense forest.

Suddenly, flames erupted from in front of the dense forest.

Almost at the same time that the Mongol cavalry, who had just set foot on the east bank, heard the sound of cannons, one after another solid bullets struck them with a whistling mid-the-middle, each shell brought out a splash of flesh and stumps and broken arms, and the galloping horses kept falling. However, this did not stop the Mongol cavalry, after all, the number of cannons was too small, and the galloping light cavalry continued to move forward, while raising their bows and arrows on horseback, and soon they were within a hundred feet of the cannonballs from the opposite side. However, at this moment, the cannons spewed out shotguns, and the projectiles hit the Mongol cavalry like a storm, and the light cavalry in the frenzy fell in pieces, but they still did not stop.

In the blink of an eye, they were close to the range of the cavalry bows.

All the hussars began to raise their bows and arrows, ready to play galloping like their ancestors.

However, surprisingly, they did not usher in the dense crossbow bolts as in the past.

Wang Baobao on the high slope in the rear was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a puzzled look, of course, the artillery of the Han army was not surprising, even if the ferocity of these artillery pieces did surprise him, but in fact, the two sides had already bombarded each other with such weapons on the battlefield, and even their war horses had long been accustomed to this thing. And this can't stop the cavalry, in the end he still has to rely on strong crossbows to shoot, and then his light cavalry will continue to attack the infantry formation with gallop fire, until the infantry formation is chaotic, and then it is time for the heavy cavalry to make a thunderous blow.

But the Han army didn't use crossbows, which was very surprising.

However, almost at the same time, in front of the Han army's formation, in the protection of those dense spear jungles, countless flames and gunpowder smoke erupted, as if this spear jungle was drowning in an instant, and his light cavalry who were about to shoot sharp arrows collapsed like stepping into a trench in front of them, and the entire charging formation was overturned on their backs, and all the subsequent cavalry were slowing down in a daze, and they were swaying among the dead corpses everywhere.

"Keep rushing!"

He subconsciously screamed.

The drummer next to him beat the war drums desperately.

But it was of little use, and the light cavalry, completely stunned, turned around as fast as they could, after a little hesitation.

After all, they are not ancestors anymore.

"Kill!"

Wang Baobao shouted without hesitation.

The heavy cavalry that was waiting in formation immediately urged their horses, and at this time, the dense fire light from the spear forest of the Han army on the opposite side shot out again, although the density weakened, but it turned into a continuous spray, and the light cavalry that was turning around in confusion continued to fall non-stop. If they kept rushing forward, they would definitely run into the Han army at this time, but unfortunately their cowardice turned them into a herd of lambs to be slaughtered by the enemy, and the Mongol light cavalry screamed in horror on the chaotic battlefield, falling one by one in the roar of cannonballs and dense gunfire, piling up a piece of dead corpses that made Wang Baobao's heart drip blood.

But most of them managed to escape this hell of death after all.

But then the heavy rider crashed in.

It was still a solid shell first, and then a shrapnel sweep, and just as the corpses of the heavy cavalry and the light cavalry were surging past, the dense firelight on the opposite side sprayed again, and the heavy armor did not provide protection for these most elite Mongolian cavalry in the slightest, and they fell one by one in front of the light like light cavalry. The difference was that they did not run away, but continued to face the flames of death, and soon began to encounter continuous blows, but in the blink of an eye they still ran into the spear forest, and then a chaotic sound of spears breaking and the mournful screams of war horses rang out. The contained Mongol heavy cavalry frantically attacked the opposite side with all the weapons at their disposal, while the Han soldiers on the opposite side lined up to fight them with their spears and even hammers and battle axes, but behind this line the flintlock musketeers continued to fire at a rate of two rounds per minute.

They were barely five feet away at this point, and they didn't need any aiming, and almost every bullet would have knocked down a Mongol cavalryman.

Then the Mongol heavy cavalry also collapsed.

The heavy cavalry, frightened by this horrific weapon, turned around in terror and confusion, and then were easily knocked off their horses like light cavalry by the continuous fire of bullets, and trampled into piles of rotten flesh in the confusion......

"Mongolian Iron Horse?"

On the hill behind the Han army's formation, Zhang Dingbian said disdainfully: "It's over!" ”

He then rode his horse down the hill, and in the wilderness below, the torrent of thousands of cavalry began to slowly move forward, and the most elite soldiers of the Han army, wearing plate cuirass on horseback, raised their spears one after another, and began their charge under the leadership of their commander.

And at this time, the two divisions of Kong Xing and Delebe, who had been standing still, also began to retreat.

As if he had forgotten them, Wang Baobao sat on his war horse calmly, looking at his subordinates who had collapsed, watching the end of the Mongolian iron cavalry era, and watching the rise of a new era.
