Chapter 73: The Ultimate Goal of the Western Expedition I

Lang had a concubine, and after Zhu Shunming and Mu Zhongxian tested each other, they immediately hooked up together and had a heated discussion.

The two sometimes laughed, sometimes scolded, sometimes argued, and sometimes smiled.

After arguing for most of the day, the intention was finally negotiated.

Zhu Shunming supported Mu Zhongxian to become the Duke of Qianguo. Leave an army to take charge of sweeping away Mu Zhongxian's hostile forces. The bottom line is that Zhu Shunming's people will not personally attack Mu Tianbo, the current Duke of Qianguo.

Mu Zhongxian was responsible for the military expenditure of the army that Zhu Shunming kept in Yunnan, and at the same time opened the market in Yunnan, and no additional taxes and fees were allowed in addition to the normal taxes. Qujing Mansion was designated as the base of Zhu Shunming's army in Yunnan.

When it was over, Zhu Shunming asked curiously, "Do you have a sister named Mu Jianping?" ”

Mu Zhongxian thought secretly: "There must be!" It couldn't be better to be married. ”

Mu Zhongxian smiled: "Yes." Aunt Chen's daughter, my eighth sister, is called Jianping. The eighth sister is fourteen this year, graceful and tranquil, and she is just right for General Zhu. ”

"Really?!" Zhu Shunming was also surprised.

………………

Mu Zhongxian returned to Chuxiong to prepare for becoming the Duke of Qianguo and recovering Kunming.

According to the established plan, Zhu Shunming began the third step of the "butterfly" operation.

As early as when the fierce battle was raging under the city of Kunming, Zhang Pan's 3,000th household quietly moved westward, turned south at the top of the Chen family's tomb, and entered the territory of Yimen County.

The Green Juice River originates in Chuxiong, flows through Yimen County, and joins the Red River in Xinping County, Lin'an Province.

The Red River flows through Shiping, Jianshui, Mengzi and Hekou, and enters the territory of Annan.

Zhang Pan quietly entered the town of Luzhi in Yimen County, controlled hundreds of flat-bottomed boats and boatmen, and waited for Zhu Shunming's army to move south along the river.

Zhu Shunming's army turned south, quietly entered Luzhi Town, Yimen County, boarded the boat that had been prepared for a long time, and went down the river.

Yimen County to Jianshui Prefecture, nearly 500 miles. Ride down the boat and get there easily in five days.

………………

The ninth day of September, Chung Yeung Festival.

The morning mist swirled, and the moisture condensed into fine droplets of water on the armor. Through the mist, you can faintly see the walls of Jianshui Prefecture and the banners fluttering on the walls.

The sun is gradually rising, and the sunlight is getting stronger. In the light, you can see fine droplets of water and dust flying, and occasionally you can see the sunlight refracting into colorful light.

Zhu Shunming waved his hand and broke the balance in front of him. The mist forms a small whirlpool, which keeps tumbling, angrily expressing dissatisfaction.

"It's up to you." Zhu Shunming said lightly.

Peng Canglang showed rare excitement and hummed, "Yes." Guaranteed completion of the task. ”

The Marine Corps skillfully jumped on the small sampan and quietly rowed towards Jianshui Prefecture on the north bank. Finally, it's the turn of the Marine Corps to show their might!

A team of thousands of people was dispatched, and the mist that shrouded the river was all stirred up. What if the mist is angry? No emotion can help in the face of absolute power.

Jianshui Prefecture is the base camp of Shadingzhou. Not only Shadingzhou's clansmen, wives and children are in Jianshuizhou, but most of the wealth he seized from Kunming City is also stored here.

Sha Dingzhou captured Kunming, occupied the Qianguo Mansion, and took the savings of the Qianguo Mansion for two hundred years as his own, all of which were transported back to the old nest of Jianshuizhou.

It is said that the wealth was transported in a cart for a month. It can be seen how huge this wealth is.

Zhu Shunming created a tense situation under the city of Kunming, and frightened Sha Dingzhou to send troops around to help.

Chen Changming's troops, who returned from Chuxiong in the east, were eaten by Zhu Shunming in one bite.

Yu Xipeng, who returned from Jianshuizhou in the south, was still on the way, but Zhu Shunming had already arrived in Jianshuizhou by water, ready to copy Shadingzhou's lair.

Peng Canglang held his breath, he wanted to correct the name of the young sailor marines, and let everyone know that the Royal Forest Army was not called in vain.

The morning mist gradually lifted, revealing the rudiments of the earth.

The sampan soon landed, and the soldier in the bow jumped onto the improvised dock and immediately drew his sword to guard it.

The woman who got up early to wash the laundry was frightened by the soldiers emerging from the mist, and watched the Marines who kept jumping down, and the clothes in her hands fell into the river and floated away without realizing it, and then her body went limp, her eyes were black, and she was frightened and fainted.

There were no casualties in the most dangerous beach-rushing battle, and the Marines successfully seized the pier.

It's also that the natives are too lax.

Jianshui Prefecture is located in the rear of southern Yunnan, and the number of natives is almost equal to that of the Han people. Yu Xipeng led his army north, and of course the enemy could not come from the north. Therefore, the defenders of Jianshui Prefecture were very lax, and they were still immersed in the excitement and joy of the natives finally becoming the masters of the house.

The north gate of Jianshui Prefecture is hidden, and from the crack in the door, you can see the Turen defenders sitting lazily on the ground, drowsy.

"......"

Peng Canglang took the lead and rushed into the north city gate, brandishing a steel knife in his hand, unceremoniously cutting the throats of several native soldiers who couldn't figure out the situation.

The rest of the marines followed, descending like tigers and pounced on the remaining native defenders.

"Oh no, the Han people have killed ......"

As the Marines continued to advance into the city, the awakened natives let out a mournful shout.

Han? Where did the Han people come from? Aren't the Han people in Jianshui Prefecture all suppressed and submissive? Could it be that the Han people were forced to bite people in a hurry?

The Marines' equipment is short and concise, and it is easy to move. They may not be as good as the army, but they are strong in such things as beach grabbing, street fighting, and hand-to-hand combat.

In Zhu Shunming's conception, the Marine Corps is the arrow of the army. Sharp arrows slammed through the enemy's defenses, and the subsequent armies continued to gain ground from this gap.

The marines, armed to the teeth, collided with the unsuspecting native defenders like wolves slaughtering into a flock of sheep.

The sheep were slaughtered without resistance, and they had to flee in all directions. Occasionally, a ram tried to resist and was quickly torn to pieces by a well-trained wolf pack.

Peng Canglang's attack speed is extremely fast. At the time of a stick of incense, more than 1,000 marines of the Navy Division entered Jianshuizhou from the north gate, seized the north gate and the head of the city, and went all the way to the yamen and military camp of the state capital along Lin'an Avenue.

Watching the Marine Corps rush into Jianshui Prefecture like a whirlwind, Zhu Shunming shook his head with a smile and said, "Suffocate these guys......"

"Let's go, don't let Peng Canglang take all the credit." With a wave of Zhu Shunming's hand, the flat-bottomed boat quickly docked, and the army rushed down, lined up slightly, and immediately followed the footsteps of the marines and rushed into Jianshuizhou City.

Yu Xipeng led the army north, and the city defense of Jianshuizhou was handed over to his younger brother Yu Xiyou.

When Zhu Shunming's army entered the city from the north gate of Jianshuizhou, Yu Xiyou was sleeping soundly on Leng Chunyang's bed in Zhizhou, surrounded by Leng Chunyang's two beautiful concubines.

"It's noisy outside, what's the noise?" Yu Xiyou was awakened from his sleep, and his anger could not be extinguished. The two concubines trembled with fright, and hid in the corner of the bed and did not dare to make a sound.

"Lord Hui, there are Han people in the city who are in turmoil." The next person inquired a little and reported immediately.

Yu Xiyou has a tyrannical temperament, and if the subordinate returns late, he may have to worry about his life.

"It's the Han people again? If you want me to say, kill the Han people who come to Anfu, and the world will be peaceful. Brother is too kind......"

It's not the first time that the Han people in Jianshui Prefecture have made a rebellion, which time is it not easy to press down, and which time is not a river of blood? Why can't the Han people kill enough?

Yu Xiyou said disapprerovitically: "Ask Xu Jiangzhong to play the pressure." All the Han people who make trouble will punish the nine tribes. I don't believe that the Han people are not afraid of killing. ”
