Chapter 103: The Great War Continues

Yunyang County, in a fragrant garden mixed with osmanthus and wood hibiscus, Yun Die is half-pulled with red sleeves, pouring tea into the Yuan blue and white teacup on the Huanghuali pestle, the pale green tea is steaming, and exudes a trace of fragrance, which makes Yang Ming in Wushan a few times last night a lot of spirits, plus Xu Shuixian's skillful hands kneaded on his shoulders for half an hour, and immediately dissipated a body of fatigue.

Although Yang Ming is still very busy, now is the most idle time.

The daily affairs of government affairs are presided over by Shang Daoxing, this official from a high background can go to the prefect, I have to say that many people can not reach in the ability to deal with government affairs, not only can perceive the meaning of the above but also can convince the people below, and can also coordinate the contradictions in all aspects, in addition, most of the existing officials in Kuizhou Mansion are based on the principle of hard work, which undoubtedly makes Yang Ming very worry-free.

In terms of military affairs, the more it is time to fight, the more he, the commander, does not have to run around, he just needs to control the overall situation at any time, most of the battalion-level generals of the Han army can do how to attack, how to retreat, how to mobilize, and there is no need for him, a modern person, to teach him by hand, and the more he, the commander, interferes in the front war, the effect is not good.

In short, in the military command system, everyone has their own role, and once they overstep their responsibilities, there will be confusion in command, and even if the strategic policy is good, it will still fail to succeed.

But this does not mean that Yang Ming can do nothing, he can now be said to be playing the role of a leader. Although there are still many gentry in Kuizhou who are interested in the Ming Dynasty, there are also many people, especially the common people and low-level scholars from poor families, who began to become fans of passers-by, that is, they gradually became loyal supporters of Yang Ming. Yang Ming's current mission is to inspect every county, and in each county there will be groups of his loyal followers who come to listen to his speeches, or Yang Ming listens to their voices.

Every time Yang Ming waved his hand and smiled, there would be many people cheering and shouting, and even some scholars boldly asked local officials to present poems and articles he wrote in praise of Yang Ming, Yang Ming did not object to this, and also ordered Kuizhou Daily to choose a special page to publish these articles full of beautiful words, of course, these scholars also got a lot of remuneration, so, with the acquiescence and secret encouragement of the government, more and more people joined the cult of personality for Yang Ming.

Gradually, there were many fanatical personality cultists, and some even wanted to offer their daughters or sisters to marry, and some bold female fans also wrote letters hoping to make poems with Yang Ming under the moon before the flowers, and some ministers also participated, and several times asked Yang Ming to fill the harem this morning, and vaguely seemed that Yang Ming had begun to enjoy the treatment of the emperor.

Yang Ming didn't know if these things were deliberately fueled by ministers with ulterior motives, or if his own propaganda planner Lu Lang had gone too far.

After Lu Lang became the capital of Like, Yang Ming asked him to be responsible for publicizing this piece, and taught him some of the strategies he knew, which Lu Lang had a good understanding, in addition to revising the textbook to promote the justice of Yang Ming and the Han Army, he also established many personal groups related to the study and support of Yang Ming, and even he personally participated in various lecture tours, every time the bandits were successful or a local bully was attacked, Lu Lang would appear on time and then easily take the credit to Yang Ming.

Moreover, Lu Lang also specially compiled a set of logical theories that proved that Yang Ming and the Han army were inevitable in history and necessary to save the common people in the world. This set of theories can also be called isms, and Lu Lang summarized from thousands of years of history and then analyzed the examples from the current situation, so as to say that Yang Ming's thought is an unassailable truth and belief in the world.

Through Lu Lang's eloquence and his genius-like wisdom, Yang Ming was pushed to the altar and created a large number of believers for Yang Ming, but at the same time, he himself has also received a lot of praise, he has become Yang Ming's spokesperson from an unknown humble scholar in the past. For example, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, only Zhu Xi's commentary on science was the truth, while in Kuizhou, only Lu Lang's explanation of Yang Ming's actions would be recognized by the majority.

Lu Lang enjoys this feeling of building momentum for Yang Ming, the more people who worship Yang Ming, the more people who want to get close to him, the more fame and fortune he gets, and the money will naturally not be less, just the Kuizhou Daily gives him a very generous remuneration, and the "Zitong Quotations" he wrote is a best-selling masterpiece in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics. According to the latest data given to Yang Ming by the envoy of the brocade clothes, this Like has already had three seven-entry mansions in the matter, and although the wife of the chaff is there, the number of concubines has exceeded ten.

Of course, since Yang Ming has become a leader, he has naturally become a weather vane in various fields, and his every move will be imitated by the people below.

For this reason, he had to restrain his behavior, at least not beyond the ethics and morality of today's society, and even had to set an example, this may be the unfreedom after becoming famous, and now he is only accompanied by Xu Shuixian and Yundie, two beautiful women, although it is also like Bai Lotian with Fan Su on the left and Xiaoman on the right, but the Qinglou Garden can't be casually strolled.

Without further ado, Yang Ming had just come to Yunyang County from Fengjie County, and before he had time to have a cordial conversation with the people of Yunyang County, Lan Guanwei found him.

"Childe, according to the news from the front, the sixth battalion of the Han Army has already exchanged hands with the left army in Kuimen, except for the left army Jin Shenghuan has broken through into the Kuimen Shendang Cliff, the rest of the left army has been blocked in the sarcophagus pond area."

"Jin Shenghuan?" Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh when he heard Lan Guanwei's words mention this person: "It's not easy to really leave a name in history", Yang Ming then asked: "What about the casualties?" ”

"Our army has suffered few casualties, less than 100 people, and has destroyed more than 2,000 enemies and destroyed more than 100 enemy ships", Lan Guanwei said and said: "Miss Du has successfully arrived at Xunyang Mansion, and the second and seventh battalions have evacuated Xunyang Mansion, Zuo Liangyu's partial division marching into Xunyang has successfully entered Xunyang Mansion, but has not found our army's actions. ”

"Very good", Yang Ming said and said: "Tell Wang Peng of Kuizhou Mansion to prepare to defend the city." ”

On Kuimen's side, the war continues.

At the cost of sacrificing thousands of people, Jin Shenghuan finally cut off the iron chains that lay across the river, and Zhang Yingyuan's waterway army also took advantage of this to set sail and rush into several miles, but soon, there was a loud noise on the river, especially when it came to the mouth of the teapot, because the river was very narrow, the cannons hidden on the cliffs on both sides directly poured countless iron bullets into these warships, and even countless stones rolled down, and these iron bullets and stones directly smashed the warships through gravity.

The cannonballs on the warships of the left army could not be able to throw bombs on the cliff, so they suppressed them with bows and arrows, and countless bows and arrows shrouded the cliff wall without a trace of light like locusts flying over, and many Han soldiers were shot into hedgehogs, and after all, because of the small number of people, most of the warships of the left army still passed through the spout and successfully reached the water area in front of Kuimen.

Jin Shenghuan and other left troops on the dry road also took advantage of this to break through to Bailuji on both sides of Kuimen, and forced the soldiers of the Han army stationed here back.

Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu immediately ordered to advance by land and water, and continued to accelerate his advance, although he now has the upper hand, he has lost six or seven thousand people, which makes Zuo Liangyu very angry, these are the elite soldiers he raised with countless money, one more death is equivalent to the loss of dozens of taels of silver, and he even shouted that this battle will kill all the thieves.

But the 6th Battalion was not deterred, they took the initiative to retreat to the vicinity of Kuimen, using the three peaks near Kuimen to secretly build the last line of defense, and just before they built the best line of defense, they sent a great gift to the left army, just when the left army was glad that the enemy's firearms would not be effective because of the heavy rain and rushed forward, suddenly, countless warships crashed into the pre-blown reef, and with a bang, once again a shout sounded in the sky.

The destruction of more than a dozen huge ships of the Left Army once again greatly increased the confidence of the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion, but the waterway army of the Left Army did not panic because of this, and immediately restored order, and divided into two roads, one way directly like a sword out of the sheath to the Han Army warships anchored outside Kuimen Port, and all the way to Bailuji to prepare to pick up the dry road army led by Zuo Liangyu and Jin Shenghuan to prepare for landing.
