Xu Shiming was ordered to mobilize the three major military workshops of the Ming Kingdom, produce them at 12 hours a day, and assemble the stockpiles of grenades, mines and other firearms to Chengdu and Zhou, and Ningzhou.

He ordered Sun Guangxian to raise grain stocks from the state governments and assemble them in Chengdu and Zhou.

Ling Feng Dao called on Jinling University and Tanzhou Boxue University to agitate and mobilize students to publicize to all walks of life.

At the same time, Baili Wuji reorganized the Di Bao into an open newspaper for the middle and upper classes of the Ming Dynasty, which was arranged and printed by the main members of the original Di Bao and students, and renamed the Di Bao as Ming Pao and set it as the third issue of January, specifically to report and publicize the war.

The Di Bao was originally set up by the imperial court to convey government decrees to the state governments, but at this time it was requisitioned by Baili Wuji to publicize the war, and also laid the foundation for the official birth of a popular newspaper in the future.

Ming Pao is only distributed free of charge to the state government and schools at all levels, and the common people need to buy two coins of silver if they want it, and this price is still the cost price of printing.

If it was to be supplied to the people for free, even if the Ming Kingdom was rich, it could not afford to lose this money.

This price also turns away most of the people at the bottom.

The only people who can afford it are the wealthy giants in the middle and upper echelons of the Ming Kingdom, and no low-level people will spend six dollars a month to buy these "broken papers".

Out of the convenience of supplying ordnance, Baili Wuji ordered Xu Shiming to build two more ordnance workshops in Chengdu and Xuzhou.

For the sake of war, everything was carried out quickly in accordance with the will of Baili Wuji.

In addition to the absence of conscription, the war mobilization of the entire Ming Kingdom began to function.

The people of the Ming Kingdom were very cooperative this time. Except for the people in the southernmost part of the Yangtze River, who have not been ravaged by foreigners, the people north of the Yangtze River and the original Shu land have the unforgettable pain of foreign invasion.

This war between Liao and Bu Nan has been fought for several months, and the people have long been in a state of agitation.

The promulgation of the Mobilization Decree for the Hundred Miles of Mowgli War. Encouraged by the students of the two universities, the Ming Kingdom stirred up a wave of resistance against Japan.

In just a few days, the state recruitment offices have recruited nearly 100,000 Ding Zhuang.

And at this time, a bad news came.

The two prefectures of Mao and Mianzhou fell, Jianzhou was isolated, and the supply route with Chengdu Prefecture was cut off.

The 10,000 Ming troops in Mao and Mian Prefectures were all annihilated, and the commander Xiong Jiben was shot by a stray arrow. Seriously injured, life and death are uncertain.

This news shook the Ming government and the opposition.

Since the establishment of the Ming Kingdom by the King of Chu, the flames of war have never burned into the territory of the Ming Kingdom. And every battle was a victory, but this time it was beaten so badly by the blocking army that the Ming government and the opposition were deeply disturbed.

Baili Wuji spent the whole night in the study looking at the map and pondering.

He didn't understand, according to the combat power of the Ming army and Xiong Jiben's command ability. No matter what, it is impossible to be beaten so badly by the 80,000 obstruction army. What's more, after months of fierce fighting, the 80,000 Obstruction Army will not suffer less losses now, and it would be good to have a 60,000-strong army left.

Baili Wuji couldn't figure out what the problem was.

The Ming army in Yanyun in the north could not be mobilized, and this army was responsible for blocking the Liao army in the north from moving south from Yanyun.

The only ones who could be mobilized were the troops of Ding Sijin and Yang Ye of Taiyuan Mansion.

But the two armies were too far apart to be saved from the water.

Do you really want to transfer the Imperial Foresters?

No, absolutely not.

Baili Wuji shook his head vigorously, the Imperial Forest Army not only had the responsibility of garrisoning Jinling Mansion, but also the last mobile force of the Ming Kingdom. It can't be used lightly.

But why hasn't the Yunyang Department arrived in Chengdu yet?

Baili Wuji ordered to immediately find Yunyang's department and ordered him to rush to Chengdu Mansion for rescue.

In fact. At this time, Yunyang's troops had already arrived in Chengdu Mansion, and if there was no Yunyang's arrival, I am afraid that Jianzhou and its six thousand defenders would also be wiped out.

After Yun Yang entered Chengdu Prefecture, he quickly led the First Army to join the remnants of Xiong Jiben's Third Army and launched a counter-assault on Mianzhou.

Mianzhou, which had only been in possession for two days, returned to the hands of the Ming army again, and the contact with Jianzhou was opened again.

In fact, Baili Wuji and Chai Rong did not expect that the Liao army on the middle road collapsed, and the remnants fled to the north, and after the Liao army learned the news, the Liao army on the road did send 50,000 troops to Weizhou City.

However, the Liao army on the lower road did not go north, but chose to join the Obstruction Army, preparing to penetrate Mian and Jian Erzhou in one fell swoop, in order to map Chengdu.

The Liao army sent 30,000 troops to join up with the Obstruction Army, formed a coalition army, and launched an attack on Mao and Mian Prefectures.

Xiong Jiben was caught off guard and messed up, only to be defeated by the coalition forces in one fell swoop, and he was accidentally hit by a stray arrow.

And Yun Yang's timely arrival, with a large number of firearms hoarding in Chengdu Prefecture, coupled with the combat strength of the First Army, also caught the coalition army off guard and lost Mianzhou, which had just been won.

However, Yunyang's First Army had already lost thousands of people in the Western Regions, and with more than 20,000 people, it was impossible to attack Maozhou again, and the two sides once again reached a stalemate in Mianzhou City.

There is also a reason why Yunyang is late this time.

The First Army interspersed from the territory of the Zhou State, and after arriving at the Jiangling Mansion of the Ming State, it prepared to go west to Chengdu Mansion.

Unexpectedly, the advance of the army was stopped by one person.

That is the queen of the East Palace of the Ming Kingdom, Meng Yanyi.

She grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she has never seen real folk life.

When she left Jinling Mansion, she found that it cost money to eat and live in a hotel.

And when she secretly went out of the palace, where could she prepare these things.

In desperation, he sold his accessories cheaply and was able to reach Gangneung Mansion.

But the money ran out, and she had a bad impression of the Gao family in Jiangling Mansion, so she didn't go to Jiangling Mansion for help, and just when she didn't know what to do, she met the first army that Yunyang had returned.

Seeing the Ming army, this is undoubtedly a big savior for Meng Yanyi, who is at a loss.

She stepped forward to block the way of the army, and was almost killed on the spot by the Ming army vanguard as a bandit.

Fortunately, Meng Yanyi was a little clever, and immediately signed up while blocking the road, "This palace is the queen of the East Palace of the Ming Kingdom, go and report to your boss quickly." ”

The soldiers of the Ming army were stunned, when will the queen be able to leave the palace?

Although I don't believe it, since the person who stands in the way dares to report the name of the queen, it is not something that a small soldier can handle.

So, go and report to Yunyang.

Yun Yang naturally knew Meng Yanyi.

But he didn't expect to be able to see him in Jiangling Mansion, looking at this queen of the Ming Kingdom who had not been groomed for many days, Yun Yang didn't know whether to be angry or funny.

Yun Yang told Meng Yanyi the news that Baili Wuji had returned to the Ming Kingdom safely.

And Meng Yanyi was clamoring to go back to Jinling, so Yun Yang sent a team of Ming troops to escort Meng Yanyi back.

In this way, it was delayed on the road for half a day.

In this half a day, it caused the fall of Mao and Mian Erzhou and the serious injury of Xiong Jiben.

Perhaps this is called providence.

Fortunately, Meng Yanyi was stranded in Jiangling because he was not entangled, and if he really went to the Tubo territory, the consequences would be unimaginable.
