Chapter 1312: Mai Ke Controls Power with Force
Half of the 100,000 army led by Li Kaifang were veterans of the Heavenly Army, and the other half were newly recruited bandits from Funiu Mountain.
However, regardless of the new recruits and veterans, regardless of the original origin, now these have only one name.
Christian!
For the vast majority of those soldiers had been Christians before, and a few who had not, had already decided to become Christians at the celebration assembly.
It's something that can't be helped.
Those people around them, who were bandits just now, are now determined to believe in the Lord, so how can they be embarrassed by the military situation of the gods?
After all, the heavenly armies are several days, and do not become Christians in any heavenly way?
Under strong pressure, they had no choice but to raise their hands as well.
It doesn't matter if it's true or not, they're all Christians anyway.
We are all brothers, and many things are easy to do.
Calling a brother can at least save a lot of words, and you don't need to introduce your own purpose and methods.
For we all have the same purpose, which is to glorify God.
The common way is to love your neighbor as yourself and lay down your life for your brother.
Mai Ke is with Li Kaifang, running towards the first target, Tongbai Mountain.
Tongbai Mountain is the upper reaches of the Huai River, and Mai Ke's next target is Lianghuai, so it is necessary to start here.
The former Funiu Mountains, as well as the adjacent Nanyang area, are the rear of Tongbai Mountain.
After uniting with Tongbai Mountain, it is more logical and unstoppable to go down the river and attack the strategic objectives downstream.
Mai Ke and Li Kaifang directly took Tongbai Mountain, and the task of recovering the Nanyang Basin was handed over to their former governors, Gu Jiaxuan and Tutana, who were now the leaders of the Holy City of Funiu Mountain.
These are their old belongings, revisiting the old land, with the powerful military power of the Heavenly Army, it should be effortless.
Recover these areas and place them under the emerging regime. It's just a piggyback mission, and their main task is to go straight out of Funiu Mountain, all the way east, advance in parallel on the front line of Pingding Mountain and Zhumadian, and launch a feint. Cooperate with Mai Ke's main expeditionary force.
It is said that it is a feint, but in fact it is also a real occupation of territory, and the gains obtained will not be returned to the Manchus.
However, all their actions are for Mai Ke all the way.
Since the initial section of the road is in Nanyang, Mai Ke is not polite, and continues to take the train, by the way, the three-in-one hub project is extended. Through the Nanyang Basin, you can directly reach Tongbai Mountain.
By looking at his four-layer map, Mai Ke knew that Tongbai Mountain was located in the border area of Henan Province and Hubei Province in China, most of the north side of its main ridge was in Henan Province, and the remaining veins on the south side of the main ridge extended into Hubei Province.
Tongbai Mountain is northwest to southeast, and the northwest of Tongbai Mountain starts from the eastern edge of Nanxiang Basin, and ends at Wushengguan in the southeast and connects with Dabie Mountain. The southwest is to the first line of Zaoyang and Yingshan in Hubei Province, and the northern boundary is roughly in the Songshan Mountain. The northwest is in the area east of Qiligang in Fangcheng County, which is the dividing line between the north and south of China.
The mountain range extends in the northwest-southeast direction, with a length of more than 120 kilometers, and the altitude is mostly about 600 meters, generally not more than 800 meters, constituting the watershed of the two major water systems of the Huai River and the Changjiang River.
It is because of the strategic position occupied by this mountain. Mai Ke must also put it under his own control.
Such a strategic location, without a strong ability to maneuver, does not seem to make much sense.
However, Mai Ke is different, and his mobility ability is second to none. Almost to the point of doing whatever he wants, distance is hardly an issue, and time has become his assistant.
The main peak of Tongbai Mountain, Taibaiding, is the origin of the Huai River for thousands of miles, with an altitude of 1,140 meters, and belongs to the western section of the Huaiyang Mountain Range.
Mai Ke's goal today is this main peak, which is not only the source of the Huai River, but also two forces that Mai Ke wants to take for himself.
The train traveled to the foot of Tongbai Mountain, and Mai Ke separated from Wu Yun and Tutana, who came with the car, and asked them to take people to collect the counties in the Nanyang Basin.
Then Mai Ke waved his hand, and the train drove up Tongbai Mountain.
The train comes from Funiu Mountain, so the route up the mountain is in the western section of Tongbai Mountain.
The western section is the main body of Tongbai Mountain, which is in the northwest-southeast trend, and the north side is affected by the northwest-southeast fault, the mountain boundary is very neat, the slope is steep, the mountain peaks stand, and the ridge elevation is generally 800 to 1,000 meters.
Along the way, everyone saw many places of interest.
No one cares if they're real or not, it's just a little novel.
There is a Huai temple at the foot of the mountain, which is the place where the emperors of the past dynasties sacrificed Huai.
A place on the northern ridge is called Pangu Mountain, which is said to be the place where Pangu opened the world.
In the Lishan in the southern remnant vein, there is also a hometown of the Chinese ancestor Shennong, which is praised as one of the seventy-two blessed lands by Taoism.
Bohu of the Ming and Tang Dynasties made a map of Tongshan for it, and attached a poem "I heard that Huaishui came out of Tongshan, and the ancient sages were born in the meantime." Jun now claims to be a private lady, and the fishing hook must be borrowed from a bay. ”
The train soared upwards, such a slope was not a problem, and when necessary, it could take a vertical route, but instead of going directly to the main peak, they turned to the eastern foothills.
Because there is a goal for Mai Ke there.
This target is a group of bandits who have gathered here.
Soon the train arrived at the bottom of Tianwang Village, the so-called "No. 1 Village in Central China".
Tongbai Mountain was the ancient struggle between the north and the south, and the heroic gathering of righteousness must be the place of contention, and now the cottage here is the descendant of Yue Fei's subordinate general Jiaozan.
According to the introduction of the Bull Demon King, the owner of this village is called Scorched Earth, and he is famous, because he has a habit of making whoever provokes him become a scorched earth, regardless of whether it is a person or a thing, all are scorched earth.
When I got closer, I saw that there were many ancient castles here, including Shengjia Village, Moyun Mountain Village, Yihe Village, Xiaozhai Village, Tianwang Village and so on.
Among them, Tianwang Village is located in the east of the main peak Taibai Ding, the mountain is precipitous, the strange peak is horizontal, the altitude is 1,008 meters, the wall of the village is built with the mountain trend, there are nine hills around, the garden is like the Great Wall.
There are about five square kilometers in the wall, and there is a Jinluan palace in the wall, and there are five battalions and four outposts.
Yue Fei, a famous general of the Song Dynasty, repeatedly went out of Tongbai to fight Xinyang to prevent the Jin Dynasty army from going south, and Zeng Tun soldiers were at the foot of the south of Taibaiding Mountain.
When the minions standing guard saw this behemoth coming, they didn't know that it was a monster from Hefang, so they shouted in fright, and on the one hand hurriedly closed the mountain gate, and on the other hand, they hurried to inform the king.
After a while, a black-faced man ran out, holding two big axes in his hands, and roared like thunder as he ran: "Who ate the gall of the ambitious leopard and came to find your grandfather's scorched earth?"
When I suddenly saw the train in front of my door, I was shocked! What is this?
Although he heard the description of the minion who reported the news, he didn't expect that there would be such a behemoth!
I saw that the scorched earth bucket's big head shook, as if he was about to run away from the emotions that he had just been startled, and then shouted in disbelief: "What do you care about! Eat grandpa's axe!".
