Volume 2 Prosperous Bianjing Chapter 159 The Situation of the Yongle Dynasty
Fang La is fat.
If you have good nutrition and less exercise, you will naturally gain weight. Some exercises, although much increased, are not useful for weight loss.
The high-ranking civil and military generals of the Yongle Dynasty were either not as good as dogs or very unsatisfactory before the uprising. Natural disasters and man-made disasters plus Huashigang, the people in many places in the south of the Yangtze River were overwhelmed, Fang La could not bear it anymore, and used the backbone of Manichaeism, the heroes of the rivers and lakes and the township party forces to slaughter a large family and began an uprising.
The conservative repertoire was indispensable, and Fang La succeeded in squeezing out the rebel partners and becoming the sole leader.
Entering Hangzhou, the homeless people who followed Fang La's desperate efforts, of course, had to realize the shares in their hands.
Hangzhou is a commercial giant city with a population of one million, with gold, silver, jewelry, garden pavilions, shops and warehouses, and delicate beauties.
The brothers who fought out of blood and fire were still particular about eating at first, but as their parents, wives and children, seven aunts and eight aunts entered the city one after another, the newly established Yongle Dynasty ushered in its first internal troubles.
In the Dream of Red Mansions, Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, just envied.
But what if Grandma Liu's son joined the Wandering Army and then captured the Grand View Garden? At that time, Grandma Liu will only treat Daguanyuan as fat and pounce forward.
Eight generations of tenant farmers, from the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the top of the Fangla regime during the Shengxi period, fought over huge interests. Fortunately, the Holy Father and the Prime Minister took action and killed a group of people in public at the street corner to suppress the trend of armed fighting.
The Great Zhou continued to mobilize troops, and in this context, Fang La could still unite most of the old foundations, so that no major disaster occurred in Hangzhou.
However, some things are different after all.
Fang La not only sighed at Fang Tianding's young bravery, but also admired Fang Tianding's battlefield strategy. "It's worthy of our family's unicorn!" Fang Lahaha on the mahogany chair laughed, letting Fang Tianding be exempt.
Fang La restrained his mind and carefully inquired about Fang Tianding's previous wars.
Fang Tianding clenched his fists and took orders, and began to tell the battle against Han Shizhong and Yao Pingzhong, "...... After General Xiahe Shibao defeated Yao Pingzhong, he originally planned to erode the surroundings of Taihu Lake and even the entire Jiangnan East Road, but unfortunately Han Shizhong was too old-fashioned. ”
"To the northeast of Hangzhou, there are Yuhang, Tongxiang and Jiaxing. Han Shizhong was so powerful that he directly led the Chinese army to press between Yuhang and Tongxiang. In order to avoid the rear road being cut off, the troops were divided, and General Zaihe Shibao had no choice but to stop the march. However, Haining Mansion and Haiyan County in the southeast of Tongxiang are very rich because of their proximity to the sea, and in addition to staying in Tongxiang and Jiaxing, the remaining seventy percent of the goods have been brought back. ”
Han Shizhong's reaction was too fast, and before Shi Bao could take Jiaxing, the situation in the northeast of Hangzhou fell into a stalemate.
Yao Pingzhong, who was in the northeast of Shibao's army, relied on the remnants of the Western Army to pull up 5,000 soldiers and horses again, and it is said that he was still asking for more soldiers and money and food, which should not be underestimated.
Fang Tianding retreated, and Prime Minister Fang Fei said of Liu Guangshi south of the Qiantang River, "South of the Qiantang River." Liu Guangshi had firmly controlled Puyang Pass in the west and Keqiao Town in the east, and continued to build armaments and strengthen the city walls. However, Liu Guangshi's subordinates had too many people, and they were already overwhelmed by the need to raise grain and grass, and they were unable to attack Xiaoshan Pass on the south bank of the Qiantang River. ”
There is nothing to say about the southwest of Hangzhou, and along the river are Fuyang, Tonglu and Chun'an, and if you capture these three towns, you can enter the mountains in the northeast of Jiangnan West Road.
The area to the west of Hangzhou was not greatly affected by the previous war, and it was not as poor as the mountains southwest of Hangzhou, and the people were still able to get by, and civilian armed forces such as village soldiers and archers and archers were very popular.
Fang La's army has always killed the homes of the gentry, tortured and humiliated, so west of Hangzhou, the villages and towns between the river ditches, hills, and lakes desperately resisted, and the Fang Lajun attacked westward It was really worth the loss.
After going around, only the situation in the northwest and north of Hangzhou was not discussed, and most of the generals of the Fangla Army under the hall couldn't even distinguish the direction, and they all stretched their necks to look at the official map of Hangzhou placed in the middle.
Ying Ming, who secretly returned from Deqing County, saluted Fang La, and then hugged his fists to the civil and military present: "Holy Prince, generals, everyone...... My lord. ”
After Han Shizhong took the Chinese army to the east, Liu Chengdong did not come out of Huangjiadun, which was stationed in the southeast of Deqing and north of Hangzhou. The official army left by Han Shizhong also stuck to the ancient town of Tangqi, twenty miles east of Huangjiadun. The two joined forces and took control of the canal and the main road. ”
"General Wu Fu received an order from the Holy Father." Ying Ming paused, bowed to Fang La's side, and then continued: "In order to break the blockade of the official army, I sent troops from Deqing County to the east to attack Liu Chengdong's camp. General Wu Fu went north from the Luoma Bridge through the waterway, attacked Liu Chengdong's Cao fleet, and then flanked Liu Chengdong's shore camp, and the result was ......"
Ying Ming's face was ugly.
The elder in the lobby urged repeatedly, and Fang La signaled that it was okay, so Ying Ming took a deep breath and said, "Liu Chengdong is too violent, and his generals are also very powerful. ”
"Liu Chengdong set up three camps on the shore, supported each other, and suddenly rushed out after resisting for a while, and our troops were defeated."
"General Wu Fu penetrated the lake east of Liu Chengdong. That small lake was wide from north to south and narrow in the middle, and Liu Chengdong lined up in two teams with eight boats, set off from a spacious place in the north, accelerated and rode the wind. Liu Chengdong also lined up with fire, with sulfur, saltpeter and other ignition materials on it, and then carried a small boat into the water with his infantry army, swimming around several boats of General Wu Fu, and constantly harassing him with rockets. ”
"General Wu Fu, also routed."
"The two formations combined, our side suffered more than 400 casualties, and the other side ...... I don't know the exact number, but it is estimated that it will not be more than a hundred. ”
The lobby was silent.
Fang La sat on it, clearly seeing that the children who had joined him were a little flustered, and even some old brothers hesitated......
Sighing secretly, Fang La asked everyone in the hall if there was a way to break the deadlock so as to further erode the Great Zhou. Although most of the big names in the Yongle Dynasty are mud legs, it is still understood that weakening the enemy is to strengthen oneself.
Fang Fei started first and suggested that he continue to attack Liu Chengdong's department.
The crowd spoke.
There are so many people, most of them are children with great ambitions, they come as soon as they open their mouths, and they don't care whether their suggestions are based or not, they think: Anyway, there are many people who speak, and I will also say it, the board is not good to beat 100 people, and there is nothing to lose. In case I say it, then it will be developed!
Fifty miles north of Hangzhou, Huangjiadun.
In the tents where the wounded soldiers were treated, there were screams. Liu Chengdong saw a young man trained by Mingyuezhuang skillfully change the bandages for the three men, and then threw the changed bandages into the cauldron to boil, and then came out of the tent.
Two days have passed since Fang Lajun's sneak attack that night.
Thinking about the scene of the bloody battle that night, Liu Chengdong was a little worried: Fang Lajun had more than one elite, and he had also strengthened the method of battle formation, which was not good news.
When he came to the big tent, the military law Cao was already waiting there, and Liu Chengdong came up and asked, "What do those people in the north say?" ”
It is not easy for Liu Chengdong to stick to Huangjiadun, and of course he cannot divide a part of the sergeants to transport grain and grass. He asked Han to recruit envoys to let the towns in the north raise grain, grass, firewood and charcoal as soon as possible, and use the village soldiers and archers to divide them into several routes to escort them.
Liu Chengdong also has no choice, he must hurry up and prepare more grain and grass. If Fang Lajun sees through the emptiness of the official army and attacks on a large scale, Liu Chengdong can only defend Huangjiadun, and if there is not enough food and grass at that time, the consequences are not difficult to imagine.
The person in charge of military salaries and military funds was very embarrassed, and whispered: "The town in the north was ravaged by the Fang La army not long ago, and there is not much grain and grass in Huzhou, and the village soldiers and archers have to guard against sneak attacks on the road, so ......"
Liu Chengdong raised his hand, stopped the man's words, and signaled that he understood.
Waiting for several civil officials to leave, Liu Chengdong couldn't hold back any longer, and slapped his palm on the handle of the big chair, "Those guys who want money and don't want to die." How can the country's annual income be tens of millions, how can it swallow up their money and food, and I don't know what they are thinking? The sergeant and Fang La worked hard, they were injured and bleeding, and some people were still calculating their little Jiujiu, for fear that the court would pay the bill! ”
Liu Yuan was even more angry and had no intention of persuading.
Xiong Dachun persuaded him. I only heard the deputy commander say: "Haven't those people always been like this? It's ridiculous that someone was holding back the army and wanted me to send a sergeant to protect their property. ”
"The situation north of Huangjiadun to Huzhou is really bad. If Huzhou wants to collect grain, it can only be transferred from Yicheng in the west of Huzhou and Yixing in the north. Ahem, those two places, it doesn't seem to be much ......."
Several battalion commanders sighed and were worried: In case the Lai army saw through the weakness of the official army and attacked in a big way, their more than 3,000 people had less than 20 days of food and grass, and they could only defend it until they died.
Zhang Yongnian, Zhang Wanli's grandson, drove a boat to attack several of Wu Fu's boats on the night two days ago. Zhang Yongnian was indeed very brave, but because he was too arrogant, he was shot by Wu Fu's guards and almost hung up.
Zhang Yongnian was not angry: "We have killed and injured more than 100 brothers, but some of them just want to hold their money bags. ”
"They don't want to think about it, if we martial artists can't stand it, they have to flee again, it's really stupid......"
"Ahem!" A battalion commander from Nanyang had a good impression of Zhang Yongnian and reminded him to be cautious.
Zhang Yongnian opened his mouth, so he had to hang his arms and pant there.
There was a head from Mingyuezhuang who was very witty, and asked about the command of the three men who were also from Mingyuezhuang Zhuangding, and inadvertently changed the topic.
Liu Chengdong exhaled at this time, and he was interested in speaking, "The injuries of the three gentlemen are no longer serious, and several wounds have not been pus and ulcerated. Just take a few dozen days and you will be cured. "The three sons are young people trained by Liu Chengdong, of course.
The battalion commander and the head of the capital who were present finally thought of something optimistic:
"The commander really spared his family property in order to heal his injured brother. Have you seen those tents? It's clean, Lao Tzu doesn't dare to admit it, and there are also provisions for treating injuries for ordinary sergeants in the court regulations, but when you get to the bottom, ......"
"Cut, stipulation? Come on, apart from the guards around the general, where have ordinary sergeants been treated? In a place where blood is everywhere and mosquitoes are flying, wrapped in strips of cloth dripping with pus, ah, it is called healing? The young man who came out of Mingyuezhuang said that with unclean bandages, how many sergeants died...... What is it called infection, contagion, dry infection? ”
"Those civil officials, when did they treat our martial artists as human beings? It is also the commander that such a sympathetic person will spend a lot of money to treat the wounds of ordinary sergeants, do you know how many of the 100 people who were injured two days ago survived? I just heard that there are seven out of ten people who are slightly injured. Seriously injured, five out of ten will live! ”
The treasury no longer ran rats, and the court strengthened the distribution of money and food to the army on the front line in the south of the Yangtze River. The second and third batches of materials sent by Mingyuezhuang to Liu Chengdong's army were mainly medicinal bandages.
In Liu Chengdong's army, the work of treating the wounded was taken over by the people of Mingyuezhuang, and the prison army and several civilian officials did not care about this.
The cruel thing is that the tents in Liu Chengdong's army that healed the wounded were not only healing the soldiers, but also a testing ground for the Mingyuezhuang Medical and Health Department to improve their medical skills.
But the wounded soldier didn't care about that.
They originally only had a survival rate of two to three percent, or even lower, but now they have more than half of the probability of surviving, and they are very grateful to Liu Chengdong. After being injured, the little owner of Mingyue Village also arranged work for their family, and they would not be sent casually, so they were desperate.
Where can I find such a general, where can I find such a farmer......
