Chapter 405: It's better to block than to dredge
The main force of the Song army was under the plank road, and the craftsmen and soldiers in the army hurried to repair the plank road into Shu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Plank road repair is a high-altitude work, and the actual construction is dangerous and difficult.
First of all, it is necessary to clearly burn the remains of the plank road, dig out the remaining wooden piles from the stone cave, replace them with new long wooden piles, and then lay wooden planks on them, and then use the stability of the triangle to build a support arm under the plank road by relying on the rock wall to increase the load-bearing capacity and stability of the plank road.
Up and down the plank road, there are thousands of cliffs, and the plank road can only be built from one end and slowly move forward. Even though Hao Ren had an army of more than 100,000 people, he could not overcome this difficulty and improve his work efficiency.
The advice given by the craftsmen: I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete the project without three months.
At present, the land of the Great Song Dynasty is slightly narrow from east to west, from the sea in the east, to Bashan in the west, and the land of Bashu and the 'Xuanzheng Yuan Jurisdiction' (geographical location and area equivalent to the Tubo State) in the west are not in the control of the Great Song Dynasty.
Bashu is under the control of the remnants of Great Xia, and the territory under the jurisdiction of Xuanzheng Yuan is nominally under the jurisdiction of Meng Yuan, but Meng Yuan does not have too many garrisons in Xuanzheng Yuan, and the terrain of the two places is precipitous, which is not suitable for the march of the army.
The vast territory of the Song Dynasty has been split into two blocks to separate the huge land of Mengyuan and the north and south. The enemy to the south is the enemy led by King Yuanliang.
Although the king of Yuanliang lost contact with Dadu and had no backup, he occupied the Dali Kingdom and the hometown of Annan as the strategic rear, with steep terrain and more than 200,000 troops.
The enemy in the north is far stronger than the enemy in the south.
The enemy in the north is centered on the capital of Yuan, there are big warlords such as Wang Baobao and Polo Timur, and the two warlords alone have hundreds of thousands of mercenaries each, and there are also a steady stream of soldiers from the northern grasslands, and the reinforcements of the khanates and subject countries in the northwest and northeast have been sent to Middle-earth, and the enemies in the north are the real enemies of the Great Song Dynasty.
The land area of the Song Dynasty is large, and the land area bordering the enemy is naturally large, and the heroes of the Central Plains have been wiped out by Hao Ren, and the remaining enemies in the north and south, Hao Ren has no allies, so he can only face it on his own.
Fortunately, Hao Ren's feared old opponent and uncle Li Chahan was assassinated by the righteous army Tian Feng and Wang Shicheng in Shandong, and after Wang Baobao pacified the land of Shandong, there was a contradiction within Mengyuan, which was originally a contradiction between the prince and the emperor, and then evolved into Wang Baobao and Polo Timur, two major warlords, a protracted civil war.
Hao Ren didn't know when the enemy's internal strife would end, and how much time he could leave for himself to continue to develop, according to Hao Ren's plan, he first had to pacify the land of Bashu and free up a large number of troops, if the northern land continued to fight, he could first go south and then north, completely solve the Yuanliang king of Yun/south, and then plan to set the Central Plains in the north.
Hao Ren is still in a race against time, but Hao Ren still understands the truth that speed is not enough. The plank road can only be slowly repaired inch by inch, and it is necessary to repeatedly remind you to pay attention to construction safety.
The main force of Hao Ren's army pursued Ming Yuzhen, the marching speed was too fast, and he lost contact with Wu Liuqi and Yu Tonghai's naval army, and lost Yu Tonghe's army.
Hao Ren's simple military tent in the mountains, Sheng Wenyu, Liu Futong, Zou Pusheng, and Ding Pulang, came by order, east and west, sitting on wool felt, with wine and meat on the desk, and the remaining nobles of the northern and southern Ming sects have all been gathered.
Sheng Wenyu and Ding Pulang were in Qixian in the north and Raozhou in the south to lead the army, belonging to the Song army sequence, and were called, Zou Pusheng surrendered in Hankou, and he was called to arrive, but Liu Futong, dressed in Taoist clothes, traveled around.
Hao Ren once granted Liu Futong a status similar to that of the northern 'Answer Lehan', that is, no matter where Liu Futong went, the people and the government had the obligation to provide Liu Futong with wine and food free of charge, Liu Futong only needed to stamp his own seal on the document, and the person who provided the wine and food could go to the government to reimburse the expenses. (Note: Su Huazi's real name is Su Can, a famous martial artist in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, known as one of the Ten Tigers of Guangdong, and the reference here is not historical facts.) )
Hao Ren can grasp Liu Futong's movements according to the reimbursement documents reported in various places, and Hao Ren can easily find Liu Futong, who happens to be in Hankou.
When the wine was half-drunk, Hao Ren pretended to be careless and said: "People are flesh and blood, can they really be invulnerable and invulnerable to poison by burning incense and praying and drinking talisman water?" If that's the case, I'd like to try. ”
Whether it is the White Lotus Sect of the Northern Sect or the Maitreya Sect of the Southern Sect, they are all preaching invulnerability to varying degrees, and the four of them are all senior leaders of the Ming Sect, so they naturally know that these things are simply impossible, but they are just demagoguery of the people, but they don't know why Hao Ren suddenly asked.
Zou Pusheng didn't dare to deceive Hao Ren, and said first: "Your Majesty, these are all tricks to deceive people, but they are just used to recruit people and improve the combat effectiveness of the army!" ”
"If my army doesn't preach these things, won't it win the same battle?" Hao Ren said slightly drunk.
Sheng Wenyu patted his ass and complimented: "Your Majesty is brave, there is no one before and no one after him, it is really a blessing for China!" ”
Hao Ren asked again: "What kind of world is the bright world preached in Mingjiao?" Maitreya and King Ming, can they really be reincarnated and lead human beings to the light? ”
Sheng Wenyu and Zou Pusheng talked about the bright world, there are some small differences between each other, to the effect that everyone is equal, everyone is happy, and the people have to live in peace, food and clothing to keep warm, as for King Ming and Maitreya, they are different totems of the northern and southern factions, and the two have agreed to exist.
"In my opinion, the society established by Your Majesty is the bright world preached in the teachings, and we, including the family teacher, have also misunderstood, Your Majesty is the real King of Ming and the reincarnation of Maitreya!" Dingplon patted his ass.
Sheng Wenyu and Zou Pusheng nodded and agreed: "Your Majesty is lenient to others, unless it is King Ming (Maitreya), you can't have such benevolence!" ”
"A few adults said that, but it made me sleep!" Hao Ren pretended to be Zou Mei and said, and several adults asked why?
"If someone bewitches the reincarnation of the new Ming King and Maitreya in the future to overthrow my rule, I am afraid that the peace I have just established will be broken, and the people will be displaced again when they are gathered?" Hao Ren said thoughtfully.
Hao Ren said this, and several adults faintly felt the murderous aura, and they all panicked.
Since Chen Shuozhen used Mingjiao to revolt, Mingjiao has been listed as a demon religion many times, and it is forbidden to spread among the people, that is, the Song Dynasty, which is known for its enlightenment, since Fang La's use of Mingjiao uprising, Mingjiao is also listed as a demon religion, and even Meng Yuan, who believes in freedom, also listed Mingjiao as a demon religion again because of Peng Yingyu's incident in Yuanzhou.
Hao Ren doesn't believe in Mingjiao, could it be that Hao Ren recruited them and prepared to kill them?
"Your Majesty, don't worry, as the left envoy of the Ming Sect, I announce that the light has been realized, and Your Majesty's descendants will be reincarnated as King Ming for generations, and this matter will be over!" Sheng Wenyu said with a wit.
Zou Pusheng also said busily: "What Master Sheng said is very true, Mingjiao came from Persia, and it has changed too much in Middle-earth, and it has deviated from the original intention. ”
Ding Pulang said: "I can help Master Sheng to preach the new doctrine of Mingjiao in the Southern Ming Sect!" ”
Hao Ren was already completely 'drunk' at this time, and said drunkly: "I think it's invulnerable, it's terrible, it's feudal superstition, imperial power and the legal system, which are always higher than the religious power!" Seeing that the adults were so cooperative, he decided not to cancel the Ming Sect, but to use Ding Pulang and Sheng Wenyu to completely revise the doctrine and guide the people in a direction favorable to him.
Hao Ren inferred from the history of later generations that Mingjiao was not only forbidden to kill, but after the Ming Dynasty, there were many incidents of using Mingjiao and White Lotus Sect to make trouble, and even in the late Qing Dynasty, some people bewitched the people and used their flesh and blood to fight against foreign guns.
Liu Futong just tasted the wine silently, from beginning to end, he never said a word, and two lines of muddy tears had fallen from his eyes. He is one of the biggest victims of the Demon Sect, and the entire family has joined the Demon Sect, leaving him alone, and the so-called Fruit of Light has been taken away by others.
