In the past Jihai years (1359-1360 in the west, the fifth year of Song Longfeng, and the nineteenth year of Mengzhizheng), the gains and losses of each force are counted as follows:

1. Song Dynasty:

1. Imperial Court (Liu Futong):

After the capture of Bianliang in May, the power once spread all over Henan. But he was soon besieged by Timur of Chakhan and defeated. In August, he lost Bianliang and retreated to Anfeng, and has been in a slump ever since. At the end of the year, Sha Liu Er led more than 30,000 people from Liaodong to come to the rescue, temporarily stabilized his position, and now defended the two old Huai base areas.

The Northern Expeditionary Army under his name has basically failed.

Previously, Zhao Junyong's Huai'an Province had been broken. Xue Xian, the remnant of the remnants of the province who stayed in Sizhou, obviously can't gain a foothold, and has now crossed the river to join his old comrade-in-arms Zhu Yuanzhang.

Caozhou Province, the starting place of the Middle Route Army, was originally the territory of Pingzhang Sheng Wenyu, and now Wucheng is the Pingzhang of the province, the details are unknown. Press, Caozhou is near the left of Anfeng, and it should be the wings of Anfeng.

2. Shandong Province (Mao Gui, etc.):

After the failure of the Northern Expedition last year, his vitality was greatly damaged. In April, Tai'an Zhao Jun killed Pingzhang Mao Gui and proclaimed himself King Yongyi. However, in July, Liaodong Wang Shicheng and Xu Jizu returned from Liaodong and beheaded Zhao. At present, Wang Shicheng, Xu Jizu, Chen Rub Tou, Feng Xiaomao, Pingzhang, Juyidu. Huama Wang Tianfeng (formerly Qingjun) lived in Dongping (ancient Yanzhou) as the provincial prime minister.

Chakhan Timur was the next target.

3. Liaoyang Province (Mr. Guan, etc.):

Since the capture of Shangdu at the beginning of the year, Mr. Guan and other Sanpingzhang have entered Liaodong. Capture of Liaoyang in February. In the autumn, the southern part of Liaoning, because of Zuo Li's rebellion, he was not victorious. and Meng Liaoyang Province Zuo Cheng Naha lost both. In winter, Mr. Guan was the head of the twin cities, Deng She, and Liaoyang fell into the hands of Haidong. Sha Liu Er crossed the sea to rescue Anfeng. The Mongolian province of Zuo Cheng and others came to attack, almost captured Quang Ninh, and was defeated by Deng She. At present, the only remaining Pingzhang Pan Cheng is trapped in Quang Ninh City.

It is estimated that they will take refuge in Nahachu or Boluo Timur.

4. Haidong Province (Dengshe, etc.):

In the spring, Deng She broke Yongping. In the summer, Deng She plundered Northern Goryeo. In autumn, Deng She took southern Liaoning. In winter, Dengshek Liaoyang broke the Mongol army. In the middle of December, Liu 19, the servant of the imperial history, came to preach the holy decree, opened the sea to the east of the province, and took Deng She as the left prime minister.

5. Jiangnan Province (Zhu Yuanzhang, etc.):

In the spring, Hu Dahai captured Zhuji and began the strategy of eastern Zhejiang. In April, the West Road recaptured Chizhou. In May, Zhu Yuanzhang was promoted from Pingzhang to Prime Minister of the Left, and all the generals were rewarded. In July, Zhu Yuanzhang killed Guo Tianjue, launched an expedition in eastern Zhejiang, and pacified Chuzhou and other places. So far, eastern Zhejiang is also half owned by Zhu Yuanzhang. In September, because he was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang's general Yu Tonghai, Zhao Pusheng was killed by Chen Youliang. Chen Youliang coerced Xu Shouhui in Jiangzhou and proclaimed himself the King of Han. Zhu's army took the opportunity to break through Qianshan and besiege Anqing, an important place in the upper reaches, until October.

Second, the aspect of the Tianwan Dynasty:

1. Central (Xu Shouhui/Chen Youliang):

Last year, Chen Youliang gained a lot of gains, and even Ke Anqing, Longxing and other roads completely occupied the important towns in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. However, there was also an incident in which Chen Youliang "pretended to be welcome, ambushed troops at the west gate of Jiangzhou City, killed Shouhui's subordinates, and left only Shouhui". Chen Youliang then settled in Jiangzhou and proclaimed himself the King of Han.

Chen Youliang has not gained much this year, and it seems that he is preparing for the Eastern Crusade in the following year. In September, he murdered Zhao Pusheng in a scheme, which greatly disheartened the people.

2. Longshu Province (Ming Yuzhen):

The year before last, in the spring, Wuxia led troops into Shu and captured Chongqing, so he took Chongqing as a stronghold and was awarded the title of Longshu Province to participate in politics, hussar general, provincial left and right Cheng.

Last year, Kejiading (now Leshan, Sichuan) defeated the main force of the Mongolian army in Sichuan. However, this year, when Ming Yuzhen was preparing to take advantage of the victory to eliminate the Sichuan Mongol army, there was an incident in which Li Xixi, Wang Hu, Guo Cheng and others of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Song West Road entered Shu. Ming Yuzhen had to lead his troops to Pingyuan (Guangyuan) and Jiange in northern Sichuan to defeat him and incorporate most of them, except for a few people who went to Hanyang to defect to Chen Youliang.

In that year, Yuzhen sent an envoy to pay tribute to the end of the day, and Xu Shouhui worshiped Yuzhen as the general of the hussar guard and the left prime minister of Longshu Province.

It was not until the spring of the year of Xin Chou (1361 West) that Ming Yuzhen completely wiped out the remnants of the Mongolian army in Sichuan. In October, he proclaimed himself the king of Longshu, and Xu Shouhui was the emperor of the martial arts at the dawn of the day, and the temple name was Sejong.

One shows that Yuzhen has been taken in Chengdu in 1358, non.

3. Mongolia:

1. Imperial Court:

At present, the person in power is the "virtuous minister" Taiping, but he does not attach to the Empress Qi and opposes the "inner Zen", so he has attracted the opposition of the later party. At present, the two parties in the Mongolian court are fiercely confrontationing with the emperor and queen.

2. Borot Timur:

In the spring, the Red Turban Army was defeated. Tun Datong, peep into Taiyuan.

3. Chakhan Timur:

In May, Tsakhan Timur began to send troops to attack Bianliang. Since he led a large army to the Tiger Prison, he sent troops out of Biannan in the south of the road, and returned to the prefectures of Bo, Chen, and Cai; The north road out of Biandong, the warship along the Yellow River, land and water, slightly Caozhou (now Heze, Shandong) to the south, according to Huanglingdu (now Lankao East, Henan). He also transferred Shaanxi soldiers, sent letters to the customs, and passed through the tiger prison; Shanxi troops went out of Taihang, crossed the Yellow River, and joined the city of Bianliang to seize its outer city. Chakhan Timur commanded all the armies to surround the city from the Xinghua camp (in the west of Bianliang City) and surrounded Bianliang. Liu Futong's rebel army was defeated in repeated battles, with no reinforcements from outside and no food and grass inside, and the situation was very critical. In August, when the food in the city was exhausted, Chakhan Timur and Yan Sixiao, Li Keyi, Hu Linchi, Guan Bao and other generals discussed and attacked separately. At night, the Yuan army landed in the city, broke through the pass, Liu Futong and hundreds of horsemen escorted the Song lord Han Lin'er from the east gate to seize the siege and escape, the Yuan army captured tens of thousands of the queen and the family members of the rebels, and more than 5,000 Song government officials. After the Yuan army captured Bianliang, the rebel army lost Henan, Chahan Timur's power was greatly boosted, and the imperial court worshiped the Pingzhang political affairs of Henan Province with merit, and also knew the Privy Council of Henan Xingxing, and the imperial history of Shaanxi Xingtai. Therefore, Chakhan Timur divided the towns of Guanshan, Jingxiang, Heluo, and Jianghuai with troops, and the heavy troops were stationed in Taihang, "the camps and banners looked at each other for thousands of miles." On that day, he repaired cars and ships, repaired soldiers, cultivated grains, trained soldiers, and planned a big move to recover Shandong." The main base is Jining Road (Taiyuan).

4. Soochow (Zhang Shicheng):

The year before last, after Zhang Shicheng surrendered to Mongolia and was named Tai Lieutenant, he divided one side on the one hand, and faced the Mongolian void and the snake on the other, and transported grain to Dadu many times. At present, Julongping Mansion (Suzhou), the territory is "north to Xuzhou, south to Shaoxing".

In the spring, Zhu Yuanzhang's generals Hu Dahai and Li Wenzhong attacked the important town of Zhuji Prefecture. Zhang Shicheng sent his generals to attack Jiangyin, but was defeated by the defender Wu Liang. In the autumn, the attack on Changzhou once made the city urgently short of food, but in the end it was defeated.

In January of the following year, he attacked the Great Song Dynasty and captured most of the prefectures and counties in Huaishang.

Fang Guozhen, Chen Youding, and other local Mongolian forces are omitted.

Concentrate:

The three major generals of the Southern Dynasty died one after another:

Kusunoki Saemon Captain Masanari died in 1336 in Minatogawa.

Kitada Daiena was killed in 1337 in Ishizumi.

Lieutenant General Yoshisada Nitta, who died in battle in 1338 near Echizen Fujishima Castle.

It was more than 20 years ago.

In the novel, it is mentioned that "Fujimitsuhide was a pawn of the Southern Dynasty". The failed battles of the Southern Dynasties on the Kyushu side around this year may have been the Liver Fu family, the Yu Dang, the Hu Ma Qi Castle, the Yujing family, and the Shibu Zhicheng Daiji family. In the twelfth year of Shohei (1357 in the west), the Northern Hyuga Guardian Tayama Naoxian Army completely wiped out the two families and eliminated the Southern Dynasties of Hinata. However, he was expelled from Kyushu Island the following year by the southern dynasty town of Nishifu.

In the same year, the Southern Korean Fangzhenxi (Shogun) Prefecture won a decisive victory over the Shoji-Otomo Combined Army in the Battle of Daehohara, thus establishing the dominant position of the Southern Korean side on Kyushu Island.

Originally, most of the important generals of the Southern Dynasties had been killed before 1340, and the situation on the part of the shogunate was very good. However, due to differences in political opinions, there was a great internal strife within the shogunate, with the shogun Ashikaga Takashi and his close confidant Takashi Naoshi on the side, and the shogun's brother Naoyoshi and the shogun's son Naoto (who is also Naoyoshi's adopted son) on the side, which is known in history as "Kanai Disturbance". In this way, the dispute between the North and the South became the Great War of the Three Kingdoms.

The infighting ended in the complete defeat of the conservative uprightness. However, the shogunate was also greatly damaged by this, and the feudal lords in various places who were originally loyal to the shogunate divided one side, and the tail could not be lost, and the whole country was completely plunged into feudal chaos.

However, Prince Huailiang, the general of Zhenxi of the Southern Dynasty, assisted by loyal ministers such as Kikuchi and Aso, took this opportunity to take the initiative to intervene in the internal fighting of the samurai, thus enhancing his own strength.

After the Southern Dynasty took control of Kyushu Island, it seemed that there was hope for Zhongxing. Therefore, he took advantage of the fact that the generals who had lost in the struggle within the shogunate and the lords whose status was threatened were constantly fighting against the shogunate. However, the defection of these "anyway" to the Southern Dynasty was also an expedient measure (such as Hosokawa Yoriyuki, etc.), so in the end it could not change the overall situation.
