Chapter 816: The Race of the Goals

Yunnan was quickly pacified......

Including the Duan family who stayed in Dali did not continue to resist, since it was the Gao family who succeeded Duan Gong, the people of Dali resisted a fart, Duan Gao's two families, a monarch and a prime minister have ruled them for hundreds of years, and the later Dali State was essentially the Gao family, and when the Dali Kingdom was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, it was the Gao family who led them to resist, but the Duan family surrendered early to act as the Mongols' minions. As for the internal relocation of the Duan family, it has nothing to do with the common people, the people of Dali have no feelings for the Duan family for a long time, and the country of Dali was also constantly revolting back then, and when the Mongols came, they also cooperated with the Duan family to suppress the people's resistance, and the people of Dali would only applaud if they took them away.

Similarly, the other toasts did not resist.

There is no need for them to resist, it is just that what happened in the past and what will happen in the future, could it be that they are still loyal to the Mongols?

In short, Yunnan was officially incorporated into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and then became the Yunnan Road of the Great Song Dynasty, and the original subordinate roads became various prefectures, and the Mongols and Semu people in the original liuguan were all executed, and the Han people were replaced by the Han people, and the original hereditary local officials continued to stay. The new Yunnan system made Fang Guoying lead 10,000 Song troops who were actually line infantry to garrison Kunming and Dali, and after eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, the surrendered armies were reorganized and finally retained 30,000 people, and these 30,000 people were also controlled by Fang Guoying, stationed in various places, and finally the Yunnan garrison maintained these 40,000 people. And Yunnan Xuanfu made Gao Mingshou in charge of government affairs, because there was no Great Song Dynasty court, so the local officials were appointed by him, and the tax was temporarily responsible for him, but the part of the tax should be handed over to Yang Feng to appoint another official, and the tax was not really handed over to Zhao Lin'er, but was left in Yunnan to supply the garrison, and part was used to build roads.

Expand all major roads in Yunnan, including those extending to northern Myanmar and Tusi in Laos, to ensure that they can pass through horse-drawn carriages.

This is very important.

Especially from Butou to Kunming, from Yibin to Kunming, from Kunming to northern Myanmar, these three roads must be built within three years, as long as these three roads are completed, then there will be no more problems in Yunnan, no matter who wants to secede, there are no conditions, and Yang Feng's Indian Ocean trade route plan is roughly completed, and the rest is to go down the Irrawaddy River.

Yang Feng stayed in Yunnan for three months, during which he quickly used his miracles to intimidate the Tusi in various places, and then led the remaining 3,000 people, including the Iron Man Army, north to Guizhou.

The Banju Yang family also surrendered immediately.

Anyway, they have no other choice, they were surrounded by Ming Yuzhen and Chen Youliang, and they became surrounded when Yunnan returned to the Song Dynasty, not to mention that the Banzhou Yang family was also loyal and good in the Song Dynasty, and it is said that the original Banzhou Yang family was broken in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was Yang Ye's great-grandson who inherited his throne. Yang Yanzhao's son sent an envoy to Banzhou, and the Banzhou Yang family reported that their clan was after Yang Jun of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so he moved his son Yang Guiqian to the Banzhou Yang family, and since then the Banzhou Yang family is a line of Yang Guiqian, to be precise, they are the descendants of Yang Liulang. It's hard to say whether this is true or not, but the Banzhou Yang family did perform very well in the Song Dynasty, especially in the later battles to defend Sichuan, including the Battle of Diaoyu City, the Banzhou Yang family was the main force, which largely supported the western front of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In this case, of course, they also have to get preferential treatment from His Majesty the Great Song Emperor.

Yang Keng was named the king of the county.

He also led the newly established Guizhou Road Propaganda Envoy.

Originally, Guizhou was only limited to Guiyang, and modern Guizhou was divided and governed by Sichuan, Huguang, and Yunnan provinces. Three thousand of these five thousand are actually his Iron Man Army, the latter's task of pretending to be forced has been completed, and the line infantry has been left behind, including their gorgeous armor and weapons, as for the disbandment of other armies in Guizhou, after all, this place is poor, and there is no need to raise too many troops.

In addition, there is the construction of roads.

Guizhou is also a zigzag road skeleton, with Guiyang as the center, leading to Kunming, Guilin and Chongqing, and an additional one is from Yichang to Sichuan through Enshi, that is, the one where Yang Feng went to find Grandma Qin.

The standard is still to pass a four-wheeled carriage.

Anyway, there is no imperial court at this time, and there will be no in the short term, no matter where you don't have to feed the emperor and civil and military officials, don't worry about those who have the task of fighting for the world, what are these idle people who don't have the task of fighting for the world? It was impossible for them to reduce taxes for the common people, and even the number of armies that they had to feed themselves was drastically reduced, and they made a windfall when they raided the Mongols and Semu people everywhere.

Then it's time to build roads.

Not only Yungui, but also Fujian and Guangdong, as well as Guangxi, which has just been taken, are building roads at this time, and it is estimated that when the new emperor is elected, the roads in these places will be almost repaired.

Guangxi's Yeer Jini did not surrender after all.

Just when Yang Feng took Annan, Guilin, which he was defending, was also bombarded by twenty-four pounders, this fortress that had just been built the year before last, and was completely made of stone still did not resist the cannonballs, he refused to surrender after being captured, and then was strangled to death by He Zhen, who was in charge of the war zone, with a rope, and then He Zhen also quickly surrendered those Tusi from all over Guangxi.

After settling the matter in Guizhou, Yang Feng flew directly back to his White Jade Palace in Yingtian.

At this time, the Northern Expeditionary Army was all in place.

Chen Youliang captured Luoyang, and crossed the Kunshan Mountains to control Shaanzhou, while the coalition of the four warlords of Guanzhong controlled Tongguan, and the two sides maintained a standoff in this direction, and then Chen Youliang was desperately trying to repair the road from Nanyang to Luoyang, and he captured a large number of horses on the battlefield, and he had established a fairly strong four-wheeled carriage transport team, and after the road was completed, it was easy to ensure that his Northern Expeditionary Army attacked Hebei, and even he crossed the river to seize the Huaimeng area, and defeated Wang Baobao's second large-scale attack in Weihui.

Zhang Dingbian, who had withdrawn from the stage early in history, really showed his strength, he led the 30,000 Northern Expeditionary Army, which was actually equivalent to the level of the Napoleonic Wars, and defeated the attack of 100,000 troops, including 30,000 Mongolian cavalry, in the field.

And he is already playing hollow phalanxes.

This time Wang Baobao's Mongol cavalry even rushed to his infantry line, but they still retreated in front of the defensive line composed of artillery, grenades, flintlock pistols and bayonets, especially the appearance of grenadiers, and even his Mongol cavalry was defeated by the Song army in the cavalry battle, which was trained according to Yang Feng's teachings to charge the wall wave charge, easily defeated these supposedly invincible classical cavalry, and even the Mongolian cavalry's proud Mangu tactics also became a joke in front of the carbines of the Song cavalry......

You run!

Anyway, the cavalry bow is only a few paces away, so I'll chase it ten feet away and stop, and then I'll give you a shot directly from the saddle.

After the battle of Weihui, Wang Baobao completely lost the courage to fight in the field, and Chen Youliang was still moving forward for the camp step by step, he was different from the other two, his northern expedition could only move forward by land little by little, so his tactics were also very clear. Zhang Dingbian, a famous general who can be called the god of war, led a corps of 30,000 line infantry, field artillery, dragoons and cuirassiers, standing slowly forward at one stop in front, while he and Zhang Bixian led an army of 200,000 to follow and fight miscellaneous. The former laid down a place and they were stationed in a place, and solved the enemy on the flank, to complete the protection of the transport line, because the production problem is still with spears, bows, crossbows and a small number of flintlock guns and cannons, they may not be very safe in the field, but the defense is not a problem at all, anyway, what they need to defend is only the Yuan army on the Western Front, and the Yuan army on the Western Front is watching Wang Baobao's liveliness.

In this way, he narrowed the distance with Dadu little by little.

But there are still more than a thousand miles to go.

Zhu Yuanzhang also seized Bianliang, but his efforts to re-communicate with the Zhanghe River system failed, because Chen Youliang preemptively controlled Wei Hui in front of him, and he could only dig the canal to Chen Youliang's territory, and the latter welcomed him to dig, as long as he introduced the Yellow River water into the Zhanghe River system, then Chen Youliang could take a boat directly down the river to Tianjin. Chen Youliang had long wanted to do this, but his population was too small to be like Zhu Yuanzhang, who controlled a population of more than 10 million, to mobilize people in the name of playing Juntun, who was forced to emigrate hundreds of thousands from the south in this way, and then dug all the way from Huainan to Bianliang.

Chen Youliang doesn't have that much population.

Among the three families, he has a small population, especially Hubei is almost a no-man's land, his core is the plains along Dongting Lake, and this area has been plagued by schistosomiasis, and the population has always been one level worse than that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is also the reason why he desperately grabbed Jiangxi with Zhu Yuanzhang, Jiangxi's population can make up for his shortcomings, and with Jiangxi in hand, he is relying on the number of people to crush and crush all opponents.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang was not interested in going north.

Even if he controls Bianliang, Zhang Shicheng will not let him borrow the section of the river north of Xuzhou, unless he dares to make a hole in the Yellow River and let the river go to the canal, but in that case, the immortal master will pump him, and finally Zhu Yuanzhang stopped advancing in Bianliang and then went all out to build a ship, preparing to play a cross-sea expedition as Yang Feng said, which has become his only choice.

And Zhang Shicheng has also begun to march north after immigrating to Xuzhou on a large scale and quickly reopening the Li State Prison, and then making his flintlock pistol, although Zhu Yuanzhang's road is blocked, and there is one less competitor who goes hand in hand, but his situation is still not optimistic. Because Chen Youliang's first-mover advantage is obvious, the latter also has Zhang Dingbian, the god of war, and his only advantage is to control the canal, so the most important thing for him to succeed is not to let Chen Youliang enter the canal, the latter's goal is obviously Linqing, as long as Zhang Dingbian's army captures Linqing, then he can enter the canal before him.

Then he won't have much to do.

Therefore, after his first flintlock pistols and cannons were built, he immediately began to move north from Xuzhou, and took advantage of the fact that the Yuan army was attracted by Chen Youliang to quickly seize Dongping and march to Dongchang.

And the core of Wang Baobao's stubborn defense has also become the Daimyo and Dongchang, his progress is obvious, although he really can't make a flintlock pistol, but he can do it with cannons and muskets, especially he has an absolute advantage in cavalry, although his cavalry can no longer beat Zhang Dingbian's Han cavalry. But he has tens of thousands of cavalry, and this area is the most suitable terrain for cavalry, the vast plains are like pastures, and most of the cities in the north were flattened back then, and there were only a few fortress levels left, even if he played guerrilla warfare, it was very convenient.

In the end, the current northern battlefield has been concentrated on the three points of Daimyo, Linqing, and Dongchang, and Wang Baobao defended it to the death, and at the same time attacked the opponent's logistics line with cavalry guerrillas, focusing on Zhang Dingbian's.

Zhang Dingbian and LĂź Zhen attacked Daimyo and Dongchang respectively.

But they don't support each other.

In fact, both families sent people to disguise themselves as Yuan troops to attack each other's logistics lines, which was inevitable, and even Lu Zhen's enthusiasm for this exceeded the enthusiasm for attacking the Yuan army.

Zhang Shicheng is dragging it.

He is now because the production of cannons and flintlock pistols is insufficient, so Lu Zhen lacks attack power, and it is difficult to open Dongchang, but this is because he is the latest to start firearms, all he needs is time, as long as he can delay Chen Youliang for a year, then the output of Li Guojian will go up, at that time he will have enough attack power to open Dongchang, in the end, the advantage of the canal is him, so at this time, even if he secretly helps the Yuan army and even reaches a tacit agreement with Wang Baobao, he has to block Zhang Dingbian's army from opening the Daimyo to open Linqing.

It is said that if they cooperated, I am afraid that Wang Baobao would have finished at this time, but with Zhang Shicheng's secret cooperation, although the fight was quite fierce, after getting Emperor Yuan Shun to do his best in the north and continuously bring him reinforcements in batches, he still stuck to these three points.

The latter also did their best.

Emperor Yuan Shun knew very well that this was his last hope, if this battle failed, then he would run away, so he transferred all the troops that could still be mobilized to the battlefield, the northern grassland, the northeast, originally left on the Shandong Peninsula and Shangdang, these were all transferred to the battlefield, anyway, as long as this battle failed, there would be no point in guarding these places, including Polo Timur in Shanxi After getting some assurances from Emperor Yuan Shun, he also reluctantly sent part of the army out of Taihang Mountain to attack Chen Youliang.

But the four generals in Guanzhong still watched the excitement, and they continued to watch from the wall in Tongguan.

These guys have good reason.

First, they wanted to guard the pass, and second, they wanted to go south to Hanzhong to cut down Shu and copy Chen Youliang's back road, but after shouting for so long, no one stepped into the Qinling Mountains, but Wansheng began to attack Longyou immediately after withdrawing from Yunnan.

In short, the situation in the world has been decided at this moment.

The Yellow River, south of the Qinling Mountains all belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, the Han of the Great Song Dynasty, the two feudal domains of Wu Yue and the Yuan army did the final decisive battle in Hebei, the Great Song Dynasty Wu Domain was making every effort to build ships and prepare for the cross-sea expedition to Dadu, and the other feudal domains and various roads were building roads to engage in internal construction, and the Yuan Dynasty also theoretically controlled the north of the Yellow River line of the Qinling Mountains, but in fact there was only one Wang Baobao who was defending the Great Yuan, and everyone else was watching the excitement or providing limited support, and the focus of the whole world was the triangular battlefield of Linqing, Daming, and Dongchang.

The focal point of the focus is the daimyo.
