Under the city of Haozhou, the Great Jin Army and Zhu Yuanzhang's army were in front of the formation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The battle flags fluttering on the city wall made a whirring sound in the gale, but the soldiers below all stood there with their heads tilted and lost their spirits.

"How about the losses we suffered from the war against them?" Yi Xiaojin asked the entourage on the side.

"In five battles, our side lost 1,861 people, the opponent's battle losses were more than 3,000, the opponent's main force was divided into two units, tens of thousands of people in the east were fighting with Zhang Shicheng's troops, and more than 40,000 people in the west were fighting in Chen Youliang's troops more than 80 miles northwest of us, and each had damage."

"How did the generals arrange? Let's talk about it. ”

"The general regiment analyzed the specific situation as soon as they got the news, if Zhu Yuanzhang is sure to surrender to us, then a large battalion will be divided to support Zhu Yuanzhang's troops in the east, and the rest of the battalion will go north, in order to annihilate Chen Youliang's troops."

Divide the troops separately, was Zhu Yuanzhang ambitious or what? Want to solve Chen Youliang first, and then turn around and kill Zhang Shicheng? There is no reason not to put the Great Jin in his eyes, now the big and small forces in the south, since the battle with Chen Youliang, who doesn't know that the combat effectiveness of the elite of the Great Jin is not to be underestimated, but now Zhu Yuanzhang would rather let go of this side and gather the main force to deal with Chen Youliang, could it be that Chen Youliang killed his father?

Yi Xiaojin asked casually, and the news he got was that his father was not killed, but this father-in-law Guo Zixing could be regarded as dying at the hands of Chen Youliang, and Guo Zixing's prestige in the middle and lower classes is still very good, so he can do it without revenge.

"Call someone to shout, I'm here, let's meet in the city." Yi Xiaojin is not clear for the time being, whether this needs to be implemented first, which plan to list the official group, if it is a tripartite joint pit Dajin. With the current size of the Great Jin, there is still something not enough to see, the combined strength of the three of them is close to 400,000, and their main force is only 100,000.

If it is folded in this time, most of the nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses advancing to the battalion will have to be lost, and when the main force is insufficient, the territory will have to be given away again.

Although it is very difficult to force yourself to that point, it is not impossible, no one is a fool, Dajin is now clear that the power is strong, but the gun shoots the first bird, and the three parties take turns to confront, and they still can't hold on.

Of course, Zhang Shicheng's side can not worry too much, after all, he has not yet made contact.

When Yi Xiaojin was thinking about many possibilities, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out with the people, his face looked pale, he didn't hold a weapon in his right hand, and he was probably injured on the right side.

"Call Zhang Junbao and carry it to the wine table by the way."

After a while, the three of them sat at the wine table, and Snow Eagle poured wine on the side.

"I don't like to beat around the bush, Jiangnan Province, it must be in the hands of Dajin, as for how the group of boys below will push the army to the city of Haozhou in Jiangbei, I don't care about this, if you want, then surrender to Cheng, Chen Youliang, I can hand it over to your own original soldiers to attack, after Chen Youliang is defeated, you can be responsible for setting up the fifth battalion, and the soldiers will be re-screened and distributed." Yi Xiaojin said his conditions lightly.

This condition is very face-saving for him, otherwise Haozhou, as soon as he Zhu Yuanzhang is arrested, the two armies will collapse in a short time.

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"Don't agree so quickly, you agree, the soldiers under your command may not agree, the soldiers under my Dajin are treated very well, you naturally know, but the order is prohibited, the rewards and punishments are clear, these are just ordinary things, for the generals, it is right to standardize the march with troops, if some of the generals under your command do not get the promotion they deserve, don't blame the Dajin for discriminating against foreign generals."

This is not the first time, the last time the day ended the civil strife, some middle-level generals who ran over were complaining that the Great Jin discriminated against foreign generals, as a general, otherwise they had to learn to write and write, and they also needed to be able to draw simple pictures, and even needed to understand the number of soldiers they bringed, and so on, etc., so that some reckless generals were very unconvinced, but after the Great Jin reached the middle-level generals, it was the only way to be promoted, if you don't want to be a general with troops, then you can only be a pioneer general, basically to the top, and then make meritorious contributions in the future will only benefit your family.

Fortunately, in addition to this promotion, other treatments are very good, and they will naturally understand after staying for a long time, there is no way to go up in terms of ability, unless they are willing to continue to study, otherwise they should serve honestly.

And now in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, it is natural to consider the brothers under him, and now among the rebels, if you want to say that the elite, the middle and low-level generals of the Great Jin Dynasty are the most elite, and they already have the basic appearance of modern professional soldiers in later generations.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that most of the generals under his command were definitely not suitable for the requirements of the Great Jin, and he could see the situation of the other party in the previous battles, and he sent thousands of elites around him, but he was defeated and retreated several times, isn't this based on the group of generals underground.

"I will go back and discuss with the brothers, but now that Chen Youliang is in the northwest and Zhang Shicheng is in the east, our army will not be able to support it for long." Zhu Yuanzhang raised his glass with his left hand and took a sip of wine.

"They suggested that I go to the division of troops to rescue, but I personally don't like to divide the troops, even if I miss the fighter, I like to hold it firmly in my hands, this eastward advance, Zhang Shicheng and you, are in the plan, Chen Youliang is not in the plan, so, Chen Youliang in the northwest you have to solve it yourself, fight well and badly, let yourself be, but only half a year, half a year later, the Great Jin will recuperate, and wait for the Red Turban Army in the north and the main force of the Yuan Court to be consumed again before acting."

"But you are both righteous soldiers, so sit back and watch the king of Xiaoming and the Yuan soldiers in the north fight to the death, is this still righteous?" Zhang Junbao said.

Zhu Yuanzhang grinned, glanced at Junbao and said, "Junbao, you haven't experienced this war, you won't understand, if you embark on this road, you have to do your best for yourself, why is King Feng Ming the leader?" Isn't everyone looking at the great power of King Ming, and carrying the main army of the Yuan Court in the north, if there was no King Ming, our southern rebel army might have been wiped out long ago. ”

Yi Xiaojin also nodded, "Since the Great Jin Dynasty raised the righteousness, he has acted alone and does not believe in King Ming's set, so King Ming and I are invalid, in the final analysis, they are still a little weaker, and now that the Yuan Court has changed the prime minister, it is bound to wait for a while, and the trust of the prime minister to re-prepare for the offensive will have to go next year, when the autumn harvest comes, when the situation in the north is clear." ”

"I don't understand, I don't understand! Drink! May the world be at peace soon! ”

"Yes, may the world be at peace soon! Dry! ”

The three of them were drinking and chatting, and all the soldiers in Haozhou City lined up with weapons to accept the reorganization, and Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guards surrounded them.

At sunset, the wine is finished, and most of the city's collection is completed, and the reorganization is proceeding.

"The great rivers and mountains will surely return to the hands of the Han Dynasty."

"Therefore, Song is in sight, and there are still hundreds of millions of people waiting for you to come to the rescue."

"The responsibility of recovering the land is in the hands of everyone, but unfortunately some people don't seem to be very willing to restore the land." Yi Xiaojin hummed slowly.

The strength of the Shi clan in the Jiangnan region is much more stubborn than that in the middle reaches of the river, and it is much more enlightened, and the polarization is quite serious.

In half a year, Zhu Yuanzhang can beat Chen Youliang with the support of the Great Jin Dynasty, wait and see, now this is the top priority, quickly destroy Zhang Shicheng, control the middle and lower reaches of the river, and select officials to manage in the newly expanded places, while the canal slowly infiltrates to the north along the way.

In a hurry, there is no way to be completely stable, but it is still no problem to achieve stability on the surface under strong pressure.

After repairing in Haozhou for a few days, the major battalions of the eastward march continued to advance eastward to replace Zhu Yuanzhang's men and horses who were resisting Zhang Shicheng's troops in the east.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to recuperate in Haozhou, and after the reorganization of the officers and men under his command, they were all sent to the front line of the battle against Chen Youliang, and all the generals under his command were cleaned.

Who doesn't want to have the good treatment of the soldiers under the Great Jin Dynasty? Zhu Yuanzhang has not been in charge for a long time, and he has no time to expand his strength, and in terms of loyalty, I am afraid that the previous Marshal Guo Zixing is still a little heavier.

In this state, it made Yi Xiaojin feel a lot more at ease, and he didn't have to worry too much about Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige, he was just a family of relatives and guards and the soldiers and horses of the nine brothers, and the rest was a simple matter.

"There is a surplus of troops to deal with Zhang Shicheng, right? The order went down, the original Great Jin implemented the land policy as usual, the surplus army was scattered, and fifty percent of the retinue army was recruited, ready to use the sword. Let your knives wash away the black smoke and miasma of the south of the Yangtze River, let their blood wash away the shame of hundreds of years, and let all their family property be returned to military supplies. ”

The land policy of the Great Jin Dynasty, which outsiders call the Household Closure Order, began to be implemented in the Jiangnan region, where the Great Jin Dynasty had not yet fully established.

The landlords and wealthy families fled with their families, and those with a little power joined forces with the old remnants to raise troops to respond to the order of the imperial court to exterminate the rebels and directly raise troops.

But these have no effect, the Great Jin Dynasty in the Jiangnan region of the big knife, in just half a year, Zhang Shicheng was destroyed, the number of landlords and wealthy families was destroyed as many as 10,000 households, involving millions of people, no less than hundreds of thousands of people on the ground.

Just like Yi Xiaojin's words, their blood washed away this century-old shame.
