In the last few days of March of the third year of Shengxi, all the places that were involved in the war in Jiangnan were extremely busy scenes.

On Jiangnan West Road, Jianghuai East Road and Jinghu Road, local officials were busy counting supplies and transporting money and grain. The van troops, village soldiers, and archers in these places were not idle, except for those who suppressed the remnants of the water bandits, most of the remaining people were mobilized and ready to step into the battlefield at any time.

In the area west of Taihu Lake, which is close to the battlefield, under the orders of Yu Yunwen and several court officials, they made every effort to suppress the epidemic, transport the population, and prepare for the army to enter the south of the Yangtze River.

Every day, large quantities of lime, liquor, charcoal, and bandages are purchased by the government, and thousands of masks, face shields, and shoes are issued by the government.

Every merchant who came to Jiangnan to do business could only bring a few people with him, and when he left, he had to take some hungry people to settle elsewhere. Of course, the hungry are still under centralized care.

Tens of thousands of hungry people were mobilized to build bridges and roads, repair canals, transport supplies, build ordnance as part of cash-for-work.

The government and the army began to purchase several times as many supplies as before. More kilns means more hungry people have a job to do and don't have to struggle with death every day.

Da Zhou's terrifying potential was only a tip revealed, and it shocked many people to the point of palpitations.

It is obviously the season when everything is flourishing, but the city of Hangzhou seems to be shrouded in a huge canopy, and ordinary people dare not speak loudly.

The construction of the "Imperial Palace" of the Holy Kung Fang La has long been stopped, and the grass has begun to grow in the place where the pavilion and the pavilion were originally built. Every time it rains after the beginning of spring, a large area of unfinished places is even more miserable and confused, and the uninformed people think at first glance that it is the remains left by a small dynasty hundreds of years ago.

I was upset at a glance, so after Fang La became emperor, he almost didn't come to this place.

But today, Fang La actually came to see the "unfinished palace".

"Xing Zheng will set off now, and he must hold Wujiang to the death, and prevent the Great Zhou army from going south from Suzhou."

Xing Zheng accepted Fang La's trust and got up and went to Wujiang, so that Shi Bao could free up his hands and concentrate on dealing with the offensive of Yao Pingzhong's army of the Great Zhou army, as well as the sneak attack of the Great Zhou army.

After Xing Zheng, Zhai Yuan, Zhang Tao, Wang Ren, Huang Ai and others will be encouraged by Fang La one after another, and then go to the battlefield.

Fang La sent off the generals who reinforced the front line, looked at the bleak and unfinished scene and said, "Do you know why I bid farewell to the generals in this place? ”

Fang Fei and Shen Shou glanced at each other.

Fang Fei took a step forward and replied, "It should be to encourage the generals to fight to the death. ”

Fang La nodded, "Not bad." I just want to remind them that if they can't stop Yu Yunwen's army, my Yongle Dynasty will be like the scene in front of me, and the grass will grow. ”

Shen Shou felt bitter in his heart and didn't dare to say anything.

Fang La remembered Fang Tianding's report a few days ago, "That Li Xiang, who made Qilin'er angry enough, how much information did the two of you collect?" ”

Li Xiang was only the commander of a township barracks with no more than 1,000 troops in the Great Zhou, and few people recognized the combat power of the men and horses he led.

Flowers bloom inside the wall, fragrant outside the wall. Li Xiang used hundreds of tired soldiers to fight continuously, played Fang Tianding around and finally rescued Lao Taishan, which was well known to women and children in the Yongle Dynasty, which occupied a corner.

Not only was he clever in the battle, but Li Xiang also privately exchanged prisoners of war with Fang Tianding, including his own subordinates and the captured soldiers of Liu Chengdong's department, and none of the children of Mingyue Zhuang were left behind. In this way, it became even more famous in the Yongle Dynasty, which advocated righteousness.

Shen Shou introduced the past of Li Xiang and Liu Chengdong and Weng Son-in-law, and also emphasized the former Mingyue Village and the current Mingyue Village, "Li Xiang is a genius in terms of tricks and business. According to the news found by the secret agents, the reason why Da Zhou suppressed the epidemic so quickly depended very much on Li Xiang and the businessmen who came from Mingyuezhuang. ”

"Those martial artists of the Great Zhou Army are said to have made a lot of money west of Taihu Lake by cooperating with Li Xiang."

Hearing that Li Xiang had brought the destitute Mingyue Village step by step into the Mingyue Village where there was no shortage of food and clothing, Fang La's heart was touched fiercely.

"If I had stopped at the right time and sought recruitment, I would have been a strong man now, right?" Fang La imagined it in his mind, but then drove the negative fluke thoughts out of his mind, "It's different, Li Xiang only needs to take care of thousands of villagers. But I was involved at that time, and the number of people who defected to me soon rose to 50,000! ”

"Li Xiang has the help of his father-in-law who was forced to go up the mountain, the world-famous Confucianism as a teacher, and the Zai Zhi in the court to speak for Mingyuezhai, what do I have? If I had been soft at the time, the best outcome would have been beheaded. ”

"That's it. I'm different from Li Xiang, I can only walk forward and fight to the death with Da Zhou! ”

Fang Fei was also very interested in Li Xiang, "A person like Li Xiang who wants to be a strong man may not end well." ”

"Da Zhou only recognizes fame, and the core is always fame. Xiucai has a family business that Xiucai can take care of, a family business that can be taken care of by lifting people, and a jinshi has a family business that Jinshi can take care of, and if it exceeds too much, there will be disaster. ”

"Most of the civil officials and military generals of my Yongle Dynasty have suffered blood losses, I don't know how Li Xiang will deal with future disasters? But that's all for later, and the most critical thing at the moment is where Yu Yunwen's more than 30,000 troops will join the battlefield. ”

Fang Fei's analysis is logically correct, but he doesn't know Li Xiang's past very well.

Li Xiang had already fought twice with the Great Zhou forces who coveted the wealth of Mingyuezhuang, and the second time it almost turned into a rebellion. Because Fang La and other rebel armies attracted the attention of the Great Zhou court, Li Xiang has always been good at hiding, coupled with effective response, Mingyuezhuang finally embarked on a new route of light and dark development.

If Mingyuezhuang continues to swell, no matter how well it is hidden, it will not be allowed in the Great Zhou. When the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially the scholar who controlled the Taoist system, waved his chopsticks again and prepared to feast in Mingyue Village, how else could Li Xiang respond?

Fang La frowned and said, "It's really hard to judge. Yu Yunwen led the fleet and could go straight to Taihu Lake. ”

"Huzhou south of Taihu Lake, Suzhou east of Taihu Lake, and Taicang on the edge of the Yangtze River may all be places where more than 30,000 Zhou troops stepped into the battlefield."

"In the southeast of Huzhou, Wu Fu learned from the Great Zhou Army to suppress the epidemic, and his subordinates have recovered their combat strength. To the south of Suzhou, the water and land villages of Wujiang are built very strongly. In the area along the river to the south of Taicang, Shi Bao has the cooperation of Deng Yuanjue and Si Xingfang, and he is the most powerful in all roads. ”

"My relatives led 10,000 elites to Tangqi Ancient Town in the north of Hangzhou City as a backup, there should be no major flaws."

Fang Fei on the left, Shen Shou on the right, Gao Yu on the right, He Conglong, the teacher of the Imperial Forest, and the four of them persuaded Fang La in unison not to be in danger. After all, Fang La is the emperor of the Yongle Dynasty, and he should be the town of Hangzhou to coordinate all walks of life.

Fang La waved his hand and asked the four people in front of him to get up, "I know the severity, I only keep an eye on the movements of the Great Zhou Army in the area of dozens of miles north of the Qiantang River and south of Tangqi. If it weren't for life and death, I wouldn't have gone into battle myself. ”

Fang Fei and Shen Shou were a little relieved, but they still sent someone to remind the guards around Fang La that night: Your Majesty must not be allowed to go into battle.

On the second day of the fourth month, west of Taihu Lake.

The epidemic, which has risen due to the rise in temperature, has been suppressed again by the well-prepared Great Zhou government and official army. The medical professors, medical doctors, and medical assistants who were gathered, as well as a few Hanlin medical officers and medical students from the Taiyi Bureau, judged that the epidemic was no longer in serious trouble.

On the fifth day of April, outside Wuhu City.

Life on the side of the Yangtze River is boiling, and Zhai Wendang, who once again sold a boatload of vegetables, eggs, fruits and vegetables, also watched the grand scene of the army going out on the bow of the ship.

The auspicious time has arrived, and Yu Yunwen is on the edge of the Yangtze River, facing the northwest and swearing to go out.

The executioner immediately slashed and killed several generals of the Yongle puppet dynasty, as well as a few cowardly Great Zhou generals as sacrifices, and the entire expedition ceremony ended.

More than 100,000 people cheered hoarsely.

Yu Yunwen led the first fleet, hundreds of ships set off, and they were about to land on the battlefield!

On the seventh day of the fourth month, the fleet passed through Jiankang, Zhenjiang, and Jiangyin...... Just when Shi Bao, south of Taicang, thought that more than 30,000 Zhou troops would land near Taicang, Yu Yunwen led the fleet Yang Fan into the sea.

The fleet did not stop for a moment, and it took more than an hour before it disappeared from Shi Bao's sight.

Shi Bao stared blankly at the faintly visible sail and muttered:

"What does the Great Zhou Army want to do, how can it be...... How can there be such a method of warfare in the world?! ”

On the tenth day of the first month of April, Yu Yunwen led more than 30,000 reinforcements from the Great Zhou Dynasty to cover the river, come along the sea, and break into Hangzhou Bay!

Since the Great Monday ruled the world, after nearly two hundred years, the Great Zhou Navy has reappeared with amazing power.
