In the north of Luoyang City, the river is surging. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

During the Jurchen Jin Dynasty, the Yellow River burst its embankment and seized the Huai into the sea, but it was mainly affected by the downstream areas, in the middle reaches of Bianliang and Luoyang, the Yellow River can still be restrained by human dams, even in late spring and early summer due to wind and rain and when the water rises, it will not easily become a wild horse.

However, at the beginning of the Northern Expedition, considering that the big river embankments in the Heluo area had not been well repaired for a hundred years, and Heluo was the rear of the main army of the Northern Expedition in the Ming Dynasty, there was no room for failure, so the Ministry of Industry at that time strengthened the Yellow River embankment to a certain extent, even if the Yellow River was really because of the concentrated heavy rain, it could hold on for a longer time than before, after all, the grain, grass and equipment in the north and south were hoarded near Luoyang City.

The hoarding near Luoyang is the savings from the former Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty for many years, if there is a loss because of the big river, with the character of Guo Shoujing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he has to hang himself.

"Hundreds of ferries can send all the troops across the river in just two hours." A general strode up to Zhang Shijie's side and said, "The Zhendong Army is already gearing up, just waiting for the Xianggong to give an order." ”

Zhang Shijie nodded and looked at the army waiting at the ferry, although these people were wearing the clothes and armor of the Ming Dynasty, whether they were thin and short, or the faintly audible voice, it showed that these people were not Han people.

This is the Oriental Army, which has only been formed by the Ming Dynasty for a few months, with soldiers from Dongying and Goryeo as the main force, and the Han people of the Ming Dynasty only play the role of senior generals in it. The main purpose of these people coming here is naturally to learn from the previous Dali army and other armies, and to gain merit by fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, so as to obtain the identity of the Ming people and avoid becoming slaves.

Fighting on the battlefield, using the blood of the enemy to prove their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, this is a way that many Dongying people and Goryeo people like very much, although the Han and Tang Dynasties have never had such a novel army before this, but when Ye Yingwu issued this conscription order under great public opinion pressure and risk, the two nations of the East broke out with surprising positive forces, and soon this army was full, and even Zhang Shijie was still considering whether to form a new Oriental army.

After all, before this, in the hearts of the Chinese people, these backward ethnic groups in the East have always accepted the edification and teachings of Chinese civilization, and they have not been very outstanding in killing operations, and they are definitely not good soldiers, not to mention that even if these barbarian nations are sinicized to a very high level, they are barbarian nations after all, and there is no way to be on the same level as the Ming Dynasty.

But considering that before that, the Ming Dynasty had already had a precedent for Nanyang, and the Dali army did play a very important role in the previous battle of Sichuan and Shu, at this time, if it is reversed or forcibly explained, it will damage the prestige of the state of etiquette, not to mention that hundreds of years ago, the inclusive Tang Dynasty has always been a supportive attitude towards foreign nationalities joining the army.

Even in the former Song Dynasty, the Chinese nation was surrounded by strong enemies, and in fact, there was still a small number of Tibetan soldiers in the army establishment, mainly including some small tribes on the West Road of Guangnan and Tubo, although these small tribes could only be regarded as guerrillas, and the main purpose of taking refuge in the former Song Dynasty was to effectively prevent the rest of the larger tribes from falling after hugging the thighs. But in any case, in the former Song Dynasty, there was also a military system. It was on this basis that Ye Yingwu established the Dali Army, and then naturally created the Zhendong Army on this foothold.

The people who had always held opposing opinions before naturally couldn't say anything in the face of Mu Chengzhou, so they had to wait for the Zhendong Army to go on the expedition. It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and walk it, you know that this Ming Dynasty has subverted the Fan soldier system recognized by the old and the young, and whether it can play an effective role depends on whether the Zhendong Army can fight for breath next.

Ye Yingwu naturally had no doubt about this, after all, he knew very well what kind of state Goryeo and Dongying were in at this time, and what kind of yearning they had for the identity of the Ming people, and he knew better what role the Koreans who gradually evolved from Goryeo played in the Japanese war of aggression against China in another time and space.

Tailwind, for the Koreans, is definitely the best. And the headwind battle is precisely the most suitable for the Japanese people, combining these two strange peoples, which can just be evidenced to advance and retreat. Even if he really encounters a powerful enemy that is difficult to match, behind the Zhendong Army, Daming is not without an army!

A cavalryman appeared on the horizon, which immediately attracted Zhang Shijie's attention, as well as the attention of all the troops and caravans near the ferry. Immediately after that, a large number of cavalry were like black clouds crushing the city, and the whole land trembled in the sound of horses' hooves.

And a symbol of the supreme commander of the Ming Dynasty "leaf" word flag, and the Ming Dynasty's red golden dragon flag echoes. His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty came to the Luoyang ferry.

"Your Majesty, there is Meng Jindu in front." Jiang Tie raised his horsewhip and pointed to the ferry under the hillside and said. The Zhendong Army is preparing to go north, and a large number of supplies are also being transferred in a hurry, so Mengjindu at this time looks very lively.

Ye Yingwu nodded and looked at the Yellow River crossing in front of him. Thousands of years ago, King Wu of Zhou once gathered 800 princes here to crusade against the Shang, and thousands of years later, he will also cross the river here and lead the Ming army to the battlefield of the decisive battle with the Mongol Tatars.

"The last general will see Your Majesty!" Zhang Shijie had already rushed over with a group of generals and officials. Most of these officials saw His Majesty the Emperor for the first time, and they all bowed their heads slightly, not daring to look at the king who single-handedly created the Ming Dynasty.

Ye Yingwu said with a smile: "Farewell to the capital, I haven't seen Zhang Aiqing for a few months, I miss it very much!" ”

Zhang Shijie also showed a smile, not to mention the identity of his imperial relative, just the official position of the secretary of the military department means that he is very familiar with His Majesty the Emperor. However, this smile was more out of politeness, and soon the smile on Zhang Shijie's face was replaced by a more solemn look: "Your Majesty, I just received the news that the Chinese army of the Mongolian Tatars has crossed the Lan River, and our sentry scouts have found the Golden Horde wagon of the Mongolian Tatars in the army. ”

After a pause, Zhang Shijie's voice was a little lower: "Kublai Khan is here." ”

The surrounding officials and generals obviously knew the news for the first time, and they didn't bother to look at His Majesty the Emperor in front of them for a while, and they all showed worried looks. After all, Kublai Khan's prestige is here, and even the older officials have seen the Battle of Ezhou at the beginning, and they naturally remember the battle in which battle Kublai Khan's brilliant command and the collapse of the Song army are still fresh.

Prior to this, all the Mongol generals had actually been defeated by the Ming Dynasty, but Kublai Khan was the first to go on the horse. Before this battle, Kublai Khan had never lost against China. So these generals and officials naturally have a fear from the heart, but fortunately, it is not them who are going to face Kublai Khan, because in front of them, there is also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone's speed or slowness finally raised their heads to look at Ye Yingwu.

Although their Emperor Majesty was young and terrifying, and looked more like a weak scholar, everyone knew that under Ye Yingwu's hands, the Mongols were bleeding like a river. This sun and moon Daming, as well as Ye Yingwu's imperial throne, was established on the corpse of the Mongols.

Ye Yingwu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Kublai Khan finally can't bear it anymore, but it's good for him to come, Daming can just settle decades of grievances and grievances with Kublai Khan and the Mongols in this battle." ”

After a pause, Ye Yingwu was not only nervous and scared, but his tone was a little excited: "A life-and-death end 1"

Zhang Shijie was shocked in his heart, but he still didn't say anything after all. Ye Yingwu rode forward and asked, "Where are the main forces now?" ”

Zhang Shijie didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "The two Huai armies and the Tianwu army have crossed the Baigou River and Yishui respectively, and are marching towards Youyan, and at the same time, the Zhenhai Navy should also break through the line of Shenzhou, Dongning Fu, and Gaizhou, and it is only a matter of time to take Jinzhou." ”

"Has there been no news from Hexi?" Ye Yingwu frowned.

With a slightly bitter smile, Zhang Shijie replied in a deep voice: "There is already a mess in Hexi, and the various departments of Haidu and Bara are fighting each other, facing each other across the Xingxing Gorge, which has become an isolated city and has been isolated from the outside world, and no one knows what happened." However, the Shence Army is regrouping, and now it is estimated that it has set off. ”

Ye Yingwu took a breath lightly, the battle situation in Hexi would be more chaotic, which was also expected, but he didn't expect that even the audio had been cut off now. In the final analysis, it was because the Haidu Department realized the importance of the Star Gorge and came at all costs, and Namuhan did not intercept Bara on the grassland at the beginning, so that Bara had enough men and horses to help, which meant that the Tianxiong army in the Star Gorge had to face a lot more enemies than expected.

Of course, it is not unexpected, after all, the Mongolian Tatars imagined by the Ming Dynasty before were only a possibility to lose both in the end on the steppe, and the battle situation is changing rapidly, and it is definitely not possible to expect all the results when the plan was made, so there is nothing to complain about when such a situation occurs. Moreover, Hexi and the Central Plains are far away, and when the Central Plains received the news from Hexi, it was already several days later. Therefore, the Central Plains side is at most to provide financial and material support to Hexi, and strategically it can only depend on the play of the front-line generals.

However, at least what relieved Ye Yingwu was that Haidu led the army to attack Xingxing Gorge, obviously putting on a posture of wanting to annex the Chagatai Khanate of Ba Ra, which also made Ba Ra not cooperate with Haidu's attack at all, but only stood still on the other side of Xingxing Gorge, and it was difficult to detect his intentions.

With Bara's fiery personality, if he wanted to start fighting, he would definitely have started a long time ago, and now he has been holding his troops still, which shows that he has other ideas in his heart. As for what this idea is, Ye Yingwu doesn't know, and he can only see whether the front-line officials and generals have this ability. Shence Army Wang Jin and Tang Zhen, Tianxiong Army Gao Gao and Zhang Jue, plus Liang Yanwu who is sitting in Hexi, Ye Yingwu still has confidence in these people, they are facing Haidu and Ba Ra, and they are not Kublai Khan, and they should be easy to deal with.

After all, in another time and space, Kublai Khan only relied on an army from the Namuhan Department to sweep away the Eight Raka and the sea, and did not go out in person at all.

Not to mention Wang Jin and Gundam, these famous generals who have made great achievements in the Ming Dynasty and are well-known, it is Liang Yanwu himself, who is also a clever person who has been with Ye Yingwu for a long time, maybe these people can't deal with Kublai Khan together, but they should still be able to defeat Namuhan, not to mention that in another time and space, Namuhan is still facing the concerted efforts of Bara and Haidu.

"Let the two Huai armies and the Tianwu army press forward step by step, be careful, and don't fall for the tricks of Boyan and Shi Tianze because of the light soldiers." Ye Yingwu commanded, and the distance between him and Zhang Shijie was already very close, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Where is the first brigade of the two Huai armies now?" ”

Zhang Shijie was stunned for a moment, this is the top secret of the Ming Dynasty, and it is reasonable for His Majesty to come to his side to ask, and he also replied in a low voice at the moment: "When the two Huai armies attacked the Baigou River before, they had secretly crossed the Yishui, and it did not arouse the alarm of the Mongolian Tatars, although there has been no news now, but the two main armies of Mongolia in Youyan have been entangled by the two Huai armies and the Tianwu army, and it is impossible to draw out more troops to deal with the first brigade, as long as it is not the main force of the Mongolian Tatars, The First Brigade has the ability to get rid of them, but now there has been no news, and nine times out of ten it is because it is afraid that its whereabouts will be exposed, so it does not dare to keep in touch with this side. ”

"Xu Chen is a man, and he also knows how to be flexible, I can trust him." Ye Yingwu nodded and said, "But try to let the Beidi Jinyi Guards pay attention, don't take the initiative to contact them, just notice that they still exist, so as not to make a big mistake and lose everything." ”

"I understand." Zhang Shijie snorted, in the battle plan of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how eye-catching the main army of the Mongol Tatars and Kublai Khan were, what the Ming really wanted, as well as the focus of the Northern Expedition, was Youyan from beginning to end.

There can be more or less deviations anywhere, but Youyan, the Ming Dynasty is bound to win, and intends to eat the Mongolian army in Youyan in one bite.

The Mongols were obviously aware of this, so they even did not hesitate to send the last main cavalry force, led by Kublai Khan himself, down the southwest of the mountain, just to attract the attention of the main battle army of the Ming army, hoping to regain control of the initiative on the battlefield. I have to say that Mongolia's move is really effective, the Tianwu army and the two Huai armies have slowed down a little in the pace of attack, I don't know what medicine is bought in the Mongolian Tatar gourd, and I don't know if I need to quickly support Shanxi.

And now that Ye Yingwu directly asked about the progress of the main forces and the movements of the most important First Brigade of the two Huai Army, Zhang Shijie understood that Ye Yingwu had made up his mind.

Even if Shanxi loses the first battle, Daming is bound to win against Youyan.

Ye Yingwu looked at Zhang Shijie, as if he understood what he was thinking, raised the horsewhip in his hand, pointed to the Divine Guard and the Praetorian Guard behind him and said: "Why does Aiqing have no confidence in me so much, now Daming still has the most elite Praetorian Guard, as well as the Zhendong Army under the Qing family, even if it is against the main force of the Mongolian Tartars and against Kublai Khan, it will not necessarily lose, not to mention that ・・・・・・ I am here!" ”

Zhang Shijie snorted and nodded solemnly.

Not to mention anything else, the Praetorian Guards around Ye Yingwu themselves are the elite of the Ming Dynasty, and the Divine Guards who have been tempered by thousands of battles on the plane, although they are not superior in numbers compared to the Mongolian Tatars, but whether it is morale or advanced equipment such as firearms, Zhang Shijie believes that they are much better than the Mongolian Tatars.

What's more, these are not all of the Ming army, there is also the Zhendong army ready to attack at the foot of the hillside. Zhang Shijie may not have much experience in leading a Tibetan army, and it is difficult to give full play to the combat power of this Tibetan army, but now it is different to be the founder of the Tibetan army system, Ye Yingwu.

"Let's cross!" Ye Yingwu said loudly, and the horse rushed straight to the ferry under the hillside, and the Praetorian Guards and Divine Guards behind him followed one after another.

Zhang Shijie looked back at Ye Yingwu's back, and a smile appeared on his face, which had been a little gloomy.

Ye Yingwu has already taken Daming to create too many miracles.

It's just that I don't know what he can bring this time
