"The Qin people have no time to mourn themselves, and future generations mourn them; Later generations mourn and do not learn from it, and it also makes future generations mourn for future generations. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In just a few sentences in "A Fang Gongfu", the meaning that Ye Yingwu wants to express has been clearly revealed. Ye Yingwu is not unaware that there are still thoughts about the former Song Dynasty between the government and the opposition, and even regards the Ming Dynasty as another Great Song Dynasty, thinking that the Ming Dynasty can completely imitate the model of the former Song Dynasty, so he has a lot of complaints about the military reform and civilian system reform carried out by Ye Yingwu.

The most fierce group of these people has been wiped out in the last turmoil in Nanjing, but this does not mean that the power of the old school has weakened, after all, many people are actually more just nostalgic, so they have no idea what choice they will make at a critical time.

In particular, the implementation of paper money has been hindered, which is a wake-up call for Ye Yingwu. is that although he has a lot of prestige in the government and the opposition, this does not mean that all the officials and gentry will obey his orders and obediently follow Ye Yingwu to carry out changes.

The Chinese nation is originally a nation that has relocated to the land, and generally will not leave the ancestral home unless it is really forced by life. In general, such a nation will stagnate in the innovation of the system, and it is far from being as brave as the maritime nation that is working the cusp of the storm to change and dare to try. Therefore, the trust of the government and the opposition in Ye Yingwu is one thing, and the acceptance of new things and new systems is another.

The implementation of paper money has encountered such a big obstacle, what will be Ye Yingwu's policy after that?

Therefore, while Ye Yingwu dispatched the Six Doors and the Praetorian Guard, which were later called "organs of state violence", to promote paper money, he must also give these old-fashioned people a wake-up call, that is, the current Ming Dynasty is definitely not the Zhongxing Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty system has made the country rich and tenacious in three hundred years, but it has never made it strong, and if a rich country does not have enough strength, it is the object of slaughter.

Even if the Ming Dynasty now has a strong army, there is no way to guarantee that these armies will not eventually fall as completely degenerate as the former Song Janissaries and the garrison soldiers. After all, the redundant bureaucratic system of the former Song Dynasty not only prevented officials from usurping power, but also invisibly made the entire administrative system bloated and slow, and there was no way to deal with sudden dangers and disasters. Such a system is obviously not suitable for the Ming Dynasty, and it is likely to become a stumbling block for the elite army of the Ming Dynasty, and finally let the Ming Dynasty cut off his own hands and feet.

Now Ye Yingwu has formulated the exam question as this, just to tell those who still have a trace of illusion about the former Song Dynasty system, although the former Song Dynasty system has been successful in some directions, but in the general direction, it will only make the whole country lose the spirit of struggle.

Seeing these lessons from the past, the Ming Dynasty should learn from them and carry out their own changes, instead of sticking to the old ways, and in the hundreds of years after defeating the Mongols, they were once again driven to Jiangnan by the rest of the more powerful enemies, driven to the South Seas, and finally completely disillusioned!

If there is no change, this piece of sky that is once again supported by the Han people and China will not last long; If there is no change, there is only a dead end waiting for the Ming Dynasty.

Ye Yingwu quietly looked at Deng Guangjian and Liu Chenweng.

The two exhaled softly, and at the same time bowed their hands: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Ye Yingwu slowly clenched his fists, he didn't know where he could finally bring this brand-new dynasty, but he knew that if he kept standing still, the Ming Dynasty would still repeat the mistakes of the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, not only would it become someone else's wedding dress, but it would also bring new disasters to the people.

Thinking about the displaced people he saw in the Xingguo Army at that time, and then thinking about the people who were waiting for relief in Caizhou later, Ye Yingwu's heart was like a knife. Such suffering can no longer befall the calamitous land of China.

At least I will do my best to protect my world and protect my people.

Outside the window, the rain was pouring down.

And the apricot blossoms of that tree are blooming proudly.

――――――――――――――-

The Red Willow River is full of corpses and bones.

The traces left by the great war here are striking, and the once trickling and crystal clear Hongliu River has now been clogged by the mass of corpses, and the water that continues downstream has been dyed pink. I wonder how people downstream will feel when they see this pink river with the smell of blood.

Vultures and crows hovered over the battlefield, the red willows swayed by the hooves of their horses, and their surviving companions swayed slowly in the wind.

"Next year, the red willows by the Hongliu River will definitely be very lush." Riding a horse slowly across the battlefield, Zhang Jue couldn't help but sigh softly. With the flesh and blood of these thousands of people as nourishment, the flowers and plants must be lush, as if those lives were finally turned into patches of red willows.

Or on the ancient battlefield of the "Three Armies", all the red willows were originally formed by souls that had passed away for thousands of years, dying in battle on this land, the flesh and blood were eaten and bitten clean by vultures, and the white bones turned into dust in the wind, only the soul could continue to stay here, and merge with this land, looking at the place where they died in battle, and watching the places where countless robes went forward and succeeded.

The sky was overcast, and even the wind was no longer the warm spring mood it used to be. The Ming soldiers and soldiers who were slowly marching around all subconsciously held their breath. Not just because of the strong and indelible smell of blood in the air, but more because of the tragic scene.

Yesterday Namuhan won a crushing victory, but in the end, he didn't stop Ba Ra. In the end, Bara is the Great Khan of the Chagatai Khanate, and after many years of battlefield battles, even if he falls for Namkhan's strategy for a while, he will naturally do his best to preserve his strength. In particular, Namuhan is a bad move in battlefield command after all. When he led the cavalry to break through the direction of the Star Gorge after defeating the escort of Ba Ra, he went around in a circle to block Ba Ra's way, and Ba Ra directly led the personal guard cavalry to the east instead of breaking through in the direction of Xingxing Gorge.

This time it was beyond everyone's expectations, especially Na Muhan's surprise. It's just too late, and the Namuhan infantry who are desperately surround the Ba Ra infantry and intent on getting more kills have no time to adjust the formation to block this sudden cavalry, so Ba Ra calmly led hundreds of his own guards to jump out of the gap between the two Mongolian infantry encirclements, and drove directly to the depths of the eastern grassland.

After all, in the eastern steppe, the forward and left and right flanks of the Bara Department are still there, and as long as this force can be gathered, Bara still has a military advantage over Namuhan and even the entire western front of Kublai Khan's army. After all, Kublai Khan's ministry still has to guard against the Ming Dynasty in the south, so it is impossible to invest more troops on the Western Front, except for the force under Namuhan, most of the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there is no danger to defend on the vast grassland.

In the first battle of Hongliuhe, Namuhan achieved absolute tactical success, and in the first battle, he wiped out the main force of the Chinese army in Bara, and his own losses were not large. But strategically, in fact, she let herself completely fall into passivity, and it seemed that the loss of the Eight Tribes was huge, because of the last resort to gather the army, she did not make her advantage in the face of the Namuhan Department suffer much loss.

What's more important is that Namkhan's battle is equivalent to exposing all his main forces, and when Ba Ra saw so many soldiers and horses in Namkhan, he naturally understood that the troops that the Mongolian Kublai Khan could take out were all here, so as long as he went all the way to the east, Kublai Khan would not be able to use the rest of his strength to resist himself, unless Namkhan would draw all the cavalry out and pursue it with all his might.

However, in the battle of Hongliuhe, the cavalry under Namuhan also suffered a lot of losses, so the number was also insufficient, and with the cavalry facing head-to-head alone, Namuhan was not Bara's opponent at all. After all, in the vast grassland, there is no so-called terrain to rely on, and the cavalry on both sides often relies on the number and courage of the cavalry.

In terms of courage, the cavalry of the Chagatai Khanate, led by the Eight Rakhan, naturally did not fear Namkhan. In particular, the current cavalry of Kublai Khan's army has actually been supplementing the cavalry with Semu people after several major battles, which also leads to a big gap between the Mongolian cavalry in terms of combat power and fighting spirit and the Mongolian cavalry in the previous Battle of Xiangyang.

After all, the original Mongolian cavalry almost besieged Ye Yingwu's command in Hutou Mountain and put it to death, and the current Mongolian cavalry fought with the Shence army evolved from the left chamber twice, and they all returned, and the strength of the two sides has become more and more obvious.

Especially for the Ba Ra Division, its cavalry was originally mainly composed of Semu people, and there was a big gap between it and the Mongolian cavalry in terms of combat power, which is why Ba Ra had to take the lead in improving morale every time. And now the composition of the cavalry on both sides is almost the same, and the cavalry of the Eight Rakhan Division, which is already good at fighting more and less, naturally has more advantages in the face of the cavalry of the Namuhan Division, which is less than his own in number.

In particular, the Mongolian cavalry moved on the steppe, not as much as the desert, because there were a large number of tribes scattered in the steppe, and the young and middle-aged people in the tribe went to join the army, so only women and children were left to be old and weak. The huge contradiction between the Bara tribe and the Kublai Khan tribe made them not have the slightest willingness to show mercy when facing the same Mongol tribes. After all, it was these young men who came out from the western tribes under Kublai Khan, who killed many people from the Chagatai Khanate as the main force in the previous conflicts.

Now that the battle line has finally been pushed from the Chagatai Khanate to the steppe, there is no reason for the Yarabu to open the net. The previous hatred must be washed away with blood!

Obviously, Namuhan also understood this truth, so he didn't even bother to clean up the battlefield, and hurriedly returned to the army to chase after the Ba Rabu. Even if the strength in his hands is not enough to fight to the death with the Eight Tribes, Na Muhan must go up as soon as possible, so that the Eight Tribes have no way to plunder the grassland wholeheartedly.

Otherwise, the scene presented in front of the Ming army would not be so tragic. The corpses of the soldiers on both sides were scattered in all directions, waiting for the vultures that had descended from the sky to deal with them. Even the corpses of the soldiers killed in the battle of the headquarters of the Namuhan tribe were not disposed of, and those war horses were directly thrown here. And a large number of blades, armor, and arrows were scattered all over the place, and it was obvious that the Namuhan tribe could not take care of so much.

The war horse slowly passed through the red willow bushes, looking at the corpses of these Mongolian soldiers in front of him, Zhang Jue couldn't help but sigh softly.

It's just that what he sighed about was not the Mongols who died here, but a few months ago, there was also the same Ming cavalry that sank in the sand, and it was their decisive assault that played the momentum of the Ming army, and indirectly led to the current situation of the war between the Ba Ra Department and the Kublai Khan Department.

"Twenty miles further is the Star Gorge, and the forward Huo Liangbu has already launched an attack." Shi Xunzhong rushed up the hill and said anxiously, "Supervisor, when will we press up?" ”

Zhang Jue nodded slightly. Huo Liang invited himself to be the striker, and this Tang Zhen, Gao Da and him did not object. Wang Jin was silent for a long time, and finally agreed. Huo Liang's mind everyone understands that in the night of Dunhuang's fire, he led the cavalry of the Shence Army to kill the most ferocious, and it can be said that a cavalry turned the entire Mongolian camp outside Dunhuang City upside down. It's just that this is far from enough for Huo Liang.

It is far from enough to avenge the brothers who died in the battles of the Red Willow River and the Star Gorge.

If you want to wash away the shame and hatred, the easiest and most direct way is to take down the entire Hongliu River and Xingxing Gorge, and re-plant the red flag of the Ming Dynasty on those high and low passes.

According to the plan of the Ming army before, the army would not attack, but only advanced to Xingxing Gorge, and when the time came, Haidu refused to support and returned to the army, and the entire Haidu Alliance naturally fell apart. But the outcome of the Battle of the Red Willow River undoubtedly made the feasibility of this plan much less feasible.

In other words, the whole plan is more to pin the hope of success on the Hai will not send troops and the Ba Ra will return to the army, before the Ba Ra has a large number of troops, and Kublai Khan's troops are not divided into victory or defeat, once the back road is cut off, the army will inevitably be flustered, and the return of the army is inevitable.

But now after the Battle of Hongliuhe, on the contrary, Kublai Khan's army is in the west, and the Bara Department is located in the east, which is equivalent to invisibly making the Bara return army a great resistance. If it was only the Ming army stationed outside the Star Gorge, it was possible that Bara would see through the Ming army's intentions, or even think that the Star Gorge could still be defended, so it would not return to the army, which allowed the Ming army to lead Bara to deal with Haidu instead of Kublai Khan's plan.

Therefore, now the Ming army is not doing two things and directly taking the Xingxing Gorge, which is equivalent to the front of the troops directly pointing at the hinterland of the Chagatai Khanate, especially the Hotan area in the Western Regions that the Chagatai Khanate has just taken from the hands of Kublai Khan.

The Ming army has threatened the survival of the Eight Rak Division, and the Eight Raka will naturally not sit idly by anymore and will inevitably do everything possible to return to the army to support. And this also invisibly proves that what Haidu said at the beginning was correct that Ba Ra was not allowed to march.

Maybe with Haidu's character, he will send troops to the rescue, but with Yara's character, he will never admit his mistakes, so this will not lead to the weakening of the contradiction between Yarabu and Haidubu.

And at that time, how to return to the army will become a problem, after all, with Namuhan's character, it is more likely to block Ba Ra's way to induce Ba Ra to fight a decisive battle with him, rather than directly get out of the way.

Therefore, in Zhang Jue's heart, there is actually a greater ambition, that is, to directly take the Xingxing Gorge and enter the Western Regions, and the Ming army will go to a decisive battle with the Haidu Department, and take the opportunity to settle the Western Regions.

It's just that Zhang Jue is also a general who has been fighting horses for many years in the final analysis, so he naturally understands that such ambitions are to think about it, for the Ming Dynasty who has not yet pacified Hebei and Yanyun, it is still a little unrealistic, after all, the Ming Dynasty does not have the support of Shanxi, Hebei and Yanyun and other places, and can only support the Western Regions through the narrow road from Guanzhong to Hexi, this thin lifeline is easily cut off, and then the Western Regions will fall into isolation, and finally like the Western Regions at the end of the Tang Dynasty, after the Han people shed the last drop of blood, Reoccupied by the Chromos.

"To the west, you can only go to Star Gorge." Zhang Jue grabbed the reins of the horse and muttered.

Shi Xunzhong heard Zhang Jue's words, and his face showed a trace of gloom.

"Unless ・・・・・・" Zhang Jue suddenly raised his voice slightly.

And Shi Xunzhong also looked at him in surprise.

"Unless this battle is the beginning of the Northern Expedition!"

Loud and sound. (To be continued.) )
