Butterfly Transformation (5)

Kublai Khan, who was far away in Liaodong, was also sad at the moment, with the concerted efforts of the Han army soldiers, the imperial court had forced Naiyan to the edge of the sea before the beginning of spring, who expected that the dying Naiyan Department suddenly came back to life, and there were more than 15,000 Mongolian dead soldiers in plain white, this group of people were born pale one by one, like zombies who can't see the sunlight underground, but their strength is surprisingly great, and they are fearless in the face of artillery and crossbow arrows on the battlefield, and after rushing into the crowd, they use a lose-lose style of play, as if they were born to die.

The Yuan army was caught off guard and was defeated by the "zombie army", and even dozens of artillery pieces were blown up by people, and they had no choice but to retreat more than 200 miles to repair. Seeing that there was an opportunity, several of Naiyan's allies came from the flank, turning the increasingly stable Liaodong war situation into a pot of porridge.

Kublai Khan was furious and ordered people to investigate the origin of Naiyan's "zombie army", and after a few days, the spies hurriedly returned. It is said that there are rumors in the land of Liaodong that His Majesty Kublai Khan abandoned the southern Mongolian soldiers and ignored them, knowing that they were defeated and captured, and refused to pay for them to come back. All of his family members were prevaricated by death. And these captured warriors were locked up in the dark crypt by the southerners and tortured, and it was only because Nayan paid a lot of money to redeem them from Wen Tianxiang. In his inscription, Kublai Khan accused Naiyan of trading with the south, selling war horses, and betraying the interests of the Mongols. In fact, Naiyan endured humiliation for the safe return of the Mongolian warriors. It was Kublai Khan who had always betrayed the interests of the Mongols.

"We were locked up in the dark mines, hoping that the family would come to ransom us back, but we didn't expect that the Great Khan would die early, and he didn't tell our family at all.

"Yes, the thief talks about credit, and whoever gets the ransom will be returned home. But our Great Khan is not trustworthy, he doesn't treat us as human beings at all, and he refuses to let the letter know to his family! ”

"It's a loss to Lord Nayan, it's a loss to Lord Naiyan. Naiyan-sama is a good person! "Every day on the grassland, all kinds of rumors are compiled into songs, and the companions of the horse-head qin are sung everywhere. With those redeemed "zombies" as evidence, for a time, rumors spread on the steppe, and the Mongolian army's morale floated. Many small tribes who were already watching secretly began to support Naiyan again.

Kublai Khan was speechless, so angry that he scolded Dachun for being a stupid thief and misleading the country, and ordered him to investigate the whereabouts of the missing warriors on the battlefield in detail, and not to tell the truth again. Half a month later, Dachun's seal was delivered, and he did not mention a word of misrecognition, but told Kublai Khan that Fan Wenhu was ready to give up Liangzhe.

In terms of geographical location, the two Zhejiang provinces are low-lying and there is no danger to defend. Historically, those who took the two Zhejiang provinces all started from the two rivers, and the two rivers were gained, and the two Zhejiang provinces went down without a fight. Therefore, when Chen Hangyan and Li Xinggang came over, the generals of the Fan family army were not very afraid.

It's a big deal that everyone abandons the city and flees again, anyway, they have already escaped the previous time, and the soldiers are familiar with the escape route. As long as Dachun defends the two rivers, the broken army will not be able to stand in Liangzhe.

At the beginning of the fourth year of Kexiangxing, the outside world suddenly came to the news that Zou Wei and Zhang Tangbing went out of the two rivers and defeated Dachun. The generals of Fan Jiajun couldn't sit still, and wrote to Fan Wenhu one after another to complain about the urgency, hoping that he could reorganize the new attached armies and take the lead in facing Chen Hangyan.

Fan Wenhu turned a blind eye to these suggestions. Someone privately wrote a letter to Kublai Khan, saying that General Fan was frightened by Li Xing and passively avoided the war. Fortunately, Kublai Khan didn't expect Fan Wenhu to really do anything big, so he issued a holy decree and scolded him lightly. After that, Fan Wenhu became even more negative, and even the distress letters of the generals from various places were not opened.

What's wrong with General Fan, isn't he sitting still waiting to be killed when he does this? A loyal staff member asked suspiciously. Soon, the battle situation between the two Zhejiang gave everyone a clear answer. After many baptisms of war, the city walls of the two Zhejiang provinces in the Song Dynasty have been turned into rubble. The temporary city walls built by the generals in various places could not stop the artillery of the broken army, so no city could support Chen Hangyan's blow for ten days. And because Fan Wenhu's descendants retreated in the Lin'an area, and the soldiers and horses in eastern Zhejiang and Jiangdong were repeatedly defeated and fought, and the ghost did not disperse, Chen Hangyan did not dare to advance the front too fast. In this way, it delayed the loss of Liangzhejiang, and it was not until February of the fourth year of Xiangxing that the two armies of Chen and Li completely controlled the five roads in the southeast of Liangzhejiang. The speed of the march is not the same as that of Zhang Tang and Du Hu, which swept through the two provinces in the same day.

It turns out that the general is dragging! took a fancy to the small number of troops of the Broken Army, and wanted to use the land to drag them down. The staff finally understood. The language ability of people in this era is limited, and they can't mention the high theory of "exchanging space for time" of a certain president in Wen Zhong's era. But the understanding of Fan Wenhu, the general of straw bags, is finally a few points higher for no reason.

"You idiots!" After listening to the compliments of the staff, Fan Wenhu scolded hatefully. With the old team left by his father-in-law Jia Yidao, he has a lot of staff under his command. There are a few celebrities who claim to be the last resort. But in Fan Wenhu's view, these so-called "strategists" are not even as knowledgeable as a grass coward who occupies the mountain as the king. He almost wanted to use the land to drag down the Broken Army, but he was forced by the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Broken Army to have no choice but to suffer step by step.

He went out to reorganize the 200,000 new annexed troops of the two Zhejiang, and waved his army to meet Chen Hangyan. It sounds like a good idea, but the person who came up with the idea didn't have a good idea at all. Since the last time they were defeated by Li Xing, those side generals have become two-minded, and they have become kings behind closed doors in their respective stations, ignoring the orders of Fan Wenhu, the governor of the capital. The Broken Army came to the door, and they jointly invited Fan Wenhu to come out to reorganize the army, not just to shirk responsibility and find a fool to stand in front.

"Once my old fan comes forward, all the responsibility for the defeat is my own. Once they were defeated in front of the battle, even if they ran to Jiangbei, they would say that my old Fan was incompetent and exhausted thousands of troops. This unlucky black cauldron, I don't carry it. Don't they all have official positions in the court, and if I don't get out of the horse, they have to take on the responsibility of guarding the place by themselves. Die or surrender. Uprising? Jokes, people may not be willing to accept it! In private, facing a few henchmen and generals, Fan Wenhu scolded and said.

The henchmen finally understood, it turned out that the Metropolitan Governor blamed those side generals for not being righteous, so they did not move, and they were broken by the broken army. But what should I do if the army has cleaned up the local forces? Everyone looked at Fan Wenhu, expecting him to give a reassuring answer.

"Do you think that the 100,000 elites under our command can block Chen Hangyan's hard blow?" Fan Wenhu refused to answer the general's words, and asked with wide eyes.

"This ......" several henchmen and generals were all stunned, and they were quiet for a long time before someone responded cheekily, "Fan Shuai, my subordinates think that we are fighting with the Broken Army, and the victory or defeat is between five and five!" ”

"Why? Is it just to deal with the 20,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Chen Hangyan and Li Xing, or to count the hundreds of thousands of thieves in Zhejiang. Where is the sailor under the command of the thief? Fan Wenhu sneered a few times and asked.

"With, with the wise command of the commander, the soldiers use their lives. Also, also, the enemy army is not, not all killed, light, Guang Chen hangs his eyes all the way...... "The general who was questioned by Fan Wenhu preached hesitantly, and he knew that these conditions could not be established, shook his head, and retreated in a sneering manner.

"Guys, go down and train. If Your Majesty can free up your hands from Liaodong to save Jiangnan as soon as possible, we will drag half of Zhedong without losing it, and we will be worthy of Your Majesty. If your majesty is not able to spare his hands before June, alas!" Fan Wenhu shook his head, not wanting to say any more. Deep down in my heart, I knew that it was the day I was ruined, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.

Is it his fault that the situation has fallen to such a point? His Majesty Kublai Khan, who was far away in Liaodong, had not paid a single salary to the new annexed army since he conquered Lin'an. Not to mention, some heavy weapons such as bed crossbows and thunderbolts (trebuchets) have been added. In order to prevent the new annexed army from causing chaos and prevent him from supporting his own troops, he even demolished the entire city wall of Liangzhejiang. There are no weapons, no cities, what enemy does he use to block the attack of the captive army?

Moreover, the equipment of both sides is not at the same level, and the ordinary soldiers of the Broken Army have a chain of chains to protect themselves, and the hundreds of households on the side of the new annex army cannot afford to wear a piece of leather armor. The weapons are even more mentioned, the two armies are facing each other, and the people are slashing out, and even the people and guys on their side have become two halves at the same time, how to fight this battle. The reason why Li Xing was able to break into his Fan Wenhu's Chinese army last time and kill hundreds of thousands of new annexed troops and leave in the wilderness, in addition to the reason of our old Fan's carelessness, didn't Kublai Khan have anything to do with it? The reason why the generals of the various subordinate departments dared to disobey the orders afterwards was not that some people in the DPRK secretly supported them in doing so?

Fan Wenhu had no place to dissipate his grievances, and he was disheartened and lazy about the entire battle situation. After deciding to break the jar, he was able to analyze the purpose of the Broken Army more clearly.

"Chen Hangyan and Li Xing attacked slowly this time, it's not that they are incapable of entering Lin'an. It was the thief who saved his mind this time and tried to stabilize one place. If you don't believe it, look at what Chen Hangyan and Li Xing are doing, reorganizing the liukou, distributing farmland, and stabilizing local security. He also entrusted the merchant group to transport farm tools from Fujian, and after spending so much effort, would he still leave with the same blow as last time? One day in March, Fan Wenhu followed his master Fan Zeng and said.

"If that's the case, Dachun will be in trouble!" Master Fan Zengfu has the name of an ancient wise man, but his knowledge may not be higher than Fan Wenhu, he thought about it and said worriedly.

"It's not just Dachun, the whole Jiangnan is dangerous. The thief is already in his infancy, and it is difficult for someone to cure him! Fan Wenhu shook his head and sighed. In private, the defense line of the descendants was once again contracted, with Lin'an as the center, and a half-moon shape was placed in Shaoxing, Xincheng, Fuyang, and Changhua, waiting for the final death with the broken army.

At the beginning of April, Chen Hangyan and Li Xingbing split into two routes, all the way to Zhuji and all the way to Chun'an, like the arms of a pair of pliers, to Lin'an Mansion. Fan Wenhu's descendants were ordered to hold out, and Li Xing on the east side tried to move in the direction of Shaoxing, but when he encountered heavy rain, he stopped in place.

Seeing that the weather was not beautiful, Chen Hang advanced the troops to the Lujiang River, but also stopped. Everything was within Fan Wenhu's expectations, the only thing that did not make Fan Wenhu expect was that the number of soldiers under the command of Chen and Li was not the expected 20,000, but more and more, and it was close to 30,000, and the combat effectiveness was extremely strong.

Of course, Fan Wenhu couldn't have imagined that all this was the result of Mrs. Xu taking the lead in reorganizing the Xing Song Army into a garrison army last year. As the team with the longest history of existence in the Great Song Dynasty and the largest military exploits and power, the Xing Song Army accepted the adaptation and gave a good start to all local heroes.

The heroes of all walks of life who insisted on resisting the Yuan in the mountains and woods left behind many heroic deeds that can be sung and cried, and their merits cannot be ignored by every ruler. However, it is also an indisputable fact that the members of these civilian armed forces are of mixed quality, their combat effectiveness is low, and their ranks are large and procrastinating. The method of separating the field troops from the local forces agreed upon by Wen Tianxiang and Mrs. Xu solved the difficult problem of how to deal with the local resistance forces after the expulsion of the Northern Yuan forces to the greatest extent.

The Metropolitan Governor's Office stipulated that after the Northern Yuan forces were expelled, the armed forces under the command of all the heroes should be reorganized into garrison brigades and garrison regiments. Remove the essence and save the essence. For the elderly, children and women, as well as those with poor health, 15 acres of land were awarded to each of them and they were allowed to return home to farm. Those who do not wish to remain in the army are also governed by this rule. For those who were injured and meritorious in the anti-Yuan battle, they were issued with certificates to defend the territory, witnessed their merits, and instructed the local government to support them forever.

Those who remain after the elimination are guaranteed the same salary as the training of the Broken Army. Ping Su was responsible for maintaining local law and order, eradicating bandits, and training new soldiers. Retired or disabled officers and soldiers of the Broken Army may serve in the garrison, and the garrison must provide more than a certain number of qualified recruits every year to supplement the various departments of the Broken Army.

As the chief scoop leader of the green forests in the southeast of the country, Chen Hangyan has done a very good job of integrating the civilian armed forces in the past few months. He knows what these green forest heroes are most worried about, and he also knows what these green forest heroes want the most. So, do your best to appease them. While promoting some of the leaders to become middle-level officers of the Broken Army, many places that cleaned up the Northern Yuan forces were handed over to the garrison for supervision. He also appointed many people who had the intention of being a beginner to serve as magistrates. In this way, because the local armed forces are scattered in strength, there is no possibility of causing trouble due to misunderstanding. Those heroes who have been given official positions are also justifiably separated from their own troops and no longer have much influence.

In addition, Chen Hangyan also selected a large number of experienced fighters from the local armed forces, and after the disrupt, five new regiments were formed. Generals at the battalion and capital levels were transferred from the Shaowu Command Academy as much as possible. After a series of careful maneuvers, although the attack speed of the Eastern Road Breaker Army slowed down, its strength increased significantly. It has recovered, even beyond the level of Chen and Li's troops before the plague.

Wen Tianxiang, who was far away in Fuzhou, provided the greatest possible support to Chen Hangyan and Li Xing. Not only did he invite the emperor to appoint Chen Hangyan as the governor of the Great Song Dynasty and Zhejiang, and Li Xing as the pacification envoy of the two Zhejiang, but also promoted the Chen and Li troops to the second division of the Broken Army, and the first division of Zou Wei and Zhang Tang, the second division of Xiao Mingzhe and Yang Xiaorong, and the naval division of Du Hu's department, which are called the four main forces of the Broken Army. In addition to the naval division and artillery division, the three land divisions were each given four target establishments.

"When we have full of people and 50,000 armor, we will cross the Yangtze River and run all over the land with Tartars!" In his lectures to the officers under his command, Chen Hangyan spoke proudly and passionately more than once. Although the number of soldiers under his command is far from the target of 50,000 at present, and Fujian cannot provide so much equipment for a while, Chen Hangyan is not in a hurry, he knows that with the current development trend, the Metropolitan Governor will one day be able to arm all several divisions and wash away all the blood with the enemy's blood.

At that time, all the heroes in the world will remember his name and forget his green forest origins.
