Henan has been the core province of Chinese civilization since ancient times, and this more than 100,000 square kilometers of land is also called the Central Plains. In China, only when a regime occupies Henan can it be called orthodox. Henan has a large population of 9 million people before the war, but the population has declined after the war in recent years, and the population is still above 6 million.

The war caused great damage to this rich place, the yeoman farmers disappeared completely, and all that survived were the large landlord forces who had formed villages to protect themselves, and these forces had been swaying on both sides of the Red Turban Army and the Yuan Army in the past, and they had fallen one after another when the Red Turban Army was gone. Of course, now Henan is already the territory of these forces, the original Yuan Dynasty in Henan has long been wiped out, the current Yuan army is actually the Yuan Dynasty forced to appear of the people's army, its nature is the same as the late Qing Dynasty Zeng Guofan's Hunan army. The upper echelons fought for the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers preached by Confucianism, and it must be said here that those Confucian scholars had played Confucius's Huayi distinction badly. The Red Turban Army's exhibition of warfare was harmful to the interests of these landlords, so these landlords began to preach that Yi Di entered China as China, and the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was the king of China, and in accordance with the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, he pacified the world for the Son of Heaven. Anyway, these people monopolized the written word in northern China, and he could adjust the words of Confucius as much as he wanted. This is the same method used by the media in later generations to arbitrarily edit video interviews.

The Red Turban Army broke the unspoken rule of the rulers in northern China to win over the local magnates, and the Red Turban Army rose from the peasants, and once these peasants turned over, they did not have a clear understanding of these landlords and old wealth, who in the past seemed to be high above and now incomparably weak in the face of their own army, and the Red Turban Army did not understand how much power the entire landlord class in North China had when united. In the later stages of the war, these landlords contributed money to the Yuan army to exterminate the Red Turban Army in the north.

Now the form of Henan is immediately different, Henan's local tyrants are facing a group that is 100 times more powerful than the Red Turban Army, first this army literacy rate has reached 70 percent, has its own ideas, in Cheng Pan's so-called orthodox avenue, everyone is born equal, and is armed with the ideology of opposing the exploitation of the landlord class, the word games of the Henan landlords who play with the last words of the saint are not convincing. And he himself did not have the confidence to refute the republican theory. The biggest manifestation of this is the strict prohibition of the spread of republican books, and at the same time keeping an eye on the movements of the tenants.

The ideological threat is still light. The biggest reason why Henan is afraid of the republic is that the republic can manage the food problem of half of the Chinese population without the cooperation of local gentry. Henan Shilin knew that this was a new concept of governance, and that the local clan forces were useless under this model, and the Red Turban Army was making trouble in the north, but the most fundamental thing was that it could not solve the problem of feeding the people under its rule, and could only rely on war to feed the war. If you fail, you will immediately collapse. But a republic is different, and the people under the rule of the republic do their own thing. Iron and steel are produced in the factory, and large areas of farmland are full of grain, and the republic has the ability to solve the problem of feeding the people of Henan, and can organize the production of Henan people. It's not terrible for the world to be your enemy, it's terrible that you're useless, and the world is the same as you and without you.

It was the first time that He Cheng, the commander in charge of the attack on Henan, had commanded such a large corps to fight, and unlike the battle, the battle was fought by two main forces in an important strategic location, with the destruction of the main forces of the other side as a condition for victory. But the large corps attack was different. Ten of He Cheng's sixteen divisions pressed towards Henan in the form of a front, and the army that He Cheng deployed behind the front line acted as a reserve force to support the front-line troops at any time.

He has become a master of the movement of more than 100 kilometers of front, and the most troublesome thing is the problem of news dissemination. Horses, carrier pigeons, and various information mediums are used. He Cheng's front advanced relatively slowly, but it was very steady. The other side of the steady is speechless. The republican army pressed towards a mountain, and the Yuan army, which lacked firepower, could not make any breakthrough against this long serpentine formation. Originally adapted to the Red Turban Army with firearms as a supplement to hand-to-hand combat, in the face of the rain of death of the Republican Army, as well as the wind-like bullets, no force can hold on, under the Republic's superior firepower, the Henan Yuan Army gave up gathering strength to seek a little strike in the Republic. Sending people under the guns of the republics is simply sending cannon fodder. As for Henan's precious cavalry and eagle artillery combined army, the tactic of combining cavalry and artillery is to find the weak point on the opposite side to make a breakthrough, as for the current 100 kilometers on the opposite side there is no weak point, the range of the eagle artillery is not as far as the artillery of the communist army, and the cavalry is even more precious, and the generals of the Yuan army are reluctant to put their hearts and souls into this meat grinder that has no return. That is, under the steady and steady foundation of the communist army, Polo Timur issued a war report to the imperial court that "the communist army is strong, and the situation in Henan cannot be done". The Seventh Princes in the court were very courageous, and he ordered the Henan Yuan army to preserve its strength and take away enough materials and craftsmen to retreat north.

The northern escape of the Yuan army in Henan made the big households in Henan unlucky, Polo Timur held the idea of leaving to get a vote, and the people's army on the front line had no resistance to the communist army and suffered great losses, the commander of the Yuan army was the Mongols, and the cavalry artillery troops under the Mongols were also Mongols. The landlord's estate was shelled and then looted, and the whole northern part of Henan was in chaos. In the first seven days of the Yuan army's decision to withdraw, the Yuan army plundered forty percent of the manors in northern Henan, and all the landlords in Henan felt betrayed. Some clan forces have resisted this storm and seem to have confidence. When the Communists came, they resisted the land reform and were crushed by the Communists one by one.

However, when the Communists cleaned up the situation in Henan, the Yuan army was given time to flee.

Compared to the large land in Henan, it is fast to get it. The group commanded by 6 Hai met the resolute resistance of Zhao Min and his father in Shandong, Wang Baobao fought with the Red Turban Army in recent years and captured a large number of republican foreign trade muskets, which made Wang Baobao's subordinates gather a musket unit that should not be underestimated, in the Xuzhou generation, Chahan put all his firearms forces in a total of 20,000 pure firearms troops in this generation. Commanding here is Wang Baobao.

The army led by 6 Hai was divided into two main attack directions and one defensive direction, the main attack direction was Shandong and northern Jiangsu, and the defensive direction was on the Henan side, and cooperated with He Cheng's attack group to prevent a gap between Henan and Shandong. Zhang Shicheng's forces in northern Jiangsu are not in the right situation, he seems to be holding the wrong thigh, so he immediately changed his banner and wanted to contact the republic, but before this contact, he wanted to give himself some bargaining chips, Zhang Shicheng knew the strength of the republic, if he did not show strength, his army would be absorbed, his property would be confiscated, and he would be dealt with by the republic like the defeated generals of the Red Turban Army in the north. In the final analysis, Zhang Shicheng still wants to be the local emperor. So he led his army to attack the territory of Rugao, determined to bargain with the republic accordingly.

"Hurry up, go quickly, take your weapons, and when you break Rugao, you can pick any property inside, beautiful girls are all over the city" The junior officers in Zhang Shicheng's army all tempted the soldiers below one by one. Rugao, which is close to Zhang Shicheng's starting place, is a paradise for these Taizhou people, and Rugao's fishing and shipbuilding industry has brought a solid life to the local people. With a large number of manufacturing workers and the cheap seafood caught from the sea, life here is a little better than in the six cities of the Republic. This makes the people of Taizhou who are not Rugao look dumbfounded. However, Rugao accepted immigrants as early as 1348 A.D., and now the refugees who fled into Rugao have been sent to Nanyang by the republic, and due to the negative propaganda of the Taizhou literati, Nanyang is now on the same level as hell in the eyes of Taizhou people.

Zhang Shicheng used interests to trick the whole army into attacking Rugao, and the defense of Lengbao was meaningless for this kind of rogue attack. In the past, the Yuan army on the Huaidong Road caught the Lengbao storm in order to make a gap to facilitate the influx of the army, at that time, Zhang Shicheng's army was mixed, and it was not considered an army at all in a certain Cheng dù, and they could not resist the greed for money in front of the five Lengbao and dispersed into a small stream and slipped into the Rugao control zhì area. These scattered people are no longer under the control of Zhang Shicheng's subordinates, and if they specialize in sabotage according to Zhang Shicheng's wishes instead of holding on to robbery, it will be a proper infiltration tactic. It's a pity that these people can infiltrate but there is no organizational discipline, that is, it took Rugao's internal militia to make a cameo appearance in the police for a while.

Zhang Shicheng didn't think that his subordinates were so wasteful, he only aroused the courage of his own army to advance towards Rugao, but did not have the organizational ability to let them attack the city. As a result, this offensive war turned into a farce of smuggling for robbery.

Dealing with such a force, the attack of the 6 seas in northern Jiangsu is very smooth, northern Jiangsu has too much contact with the republic, and there is a trend of thought in northern Jiangsu: "If the entire northern Jiangsu is ruled by the republic, then will northern Jiangsu be like Rugao." "The industrialization of the republic in the past seven years has created a large amount of social wealth, so that the surrounding forces unconsciously produce a large number of leading parties.

The top is all shun lì, and the bottom is not smooth. The vanguard of the 6 Seas group suffered a setback in attacking the positions where Wang Baobao was stationed. As usual, the Communists first smashed through a burst of artillery fire, and then the infantry maintained a straggler line formation to occupy, but this time after the artillery strike, Wang Baobao's troops were dealt a blow when the Communists rushed up, and the infantry division took a skirmish line, and immediately after being shot, it lay down and took fire cover and retreated. This division commander was not reckless, so he observed that the opposite side of the formation is now relying on digging trenches for defense, and when the shelling is over, it comes out of the trenches, and the deep trenches can effectively prevent shelling, which is the exchange of military experience ** and every officer must know. Moreover, fighting in the trenches is more powerful than the concealment of the soldiers. So the enemy on the opposite side is very difficult to entangle.

The division commander ordered to dig trenches on the spot to defend and soon 6 Hai arrived with the main force, facing this roadblock in front of him, 6 Hai did not embarrass his subordinates because the attack was blocked, although some officers were more than aware of the high march of He Cheng's front army. But 6 Hai stopped his subordinates' orders for a strong attack. After the lesson of Cheng Pan last time, the 6 seas already know what the war is, and the war is fought in order to achieve the goal, He Cheng has taken Henan to let the enemy flee in the wilderness, it can be said that he has completed the war goal of seizing the Central Plains, and the army in front of him is the largest number of firearms corps in the Northern Yuan Army, and it is better to fight early than late, and the war close to its own logistics is more powerful than the encounter in Shanxi, Mongolia, etc., and the destruction of this army in front of him is the war goal that the 6 Sea Group wants to achieve, Instead of blindly comparing the progress with He Cheng's troops. 6 Hai ordered to leave six divisions to surround this unit and fight trench warfare with them.

Trenches are staggered. Wang Baobao soon lost the joy of blocking the Republican army, and he began to see that his army could not move. When the news reached the Republic, Cheng Pan supported the decision of 6 Hai to eat the 20,000 firearms army after learning about the situation on the front line, and at the same time asked the factory to rush to produce a batch of rifles with scopes and hand them over to the soldiers who were fighting trench battles on the front line. In this battle of cold guns against each other, the Yuan army, which originally had a range of muskets that could not catch up with the rifles of the Commodity, soon did not even have a cold head.

After twenty days of confrontation, the way the Communists extended their trenches and compressed the Yuan army's position had cut off several small parts of the Yuan army. Wang Baobao knew that he was going to lose. There was not much ammunition left, the wounded were dying one by one, and there was a fishy smell coming out of the entire trench. Wang Baobao said to his subordinates: "I have fought for Dayuan for ten years, and I have lost less and won more, and now this is likely to be our last battle for Dayuan. ”

At the same time, 6 Sea, who was also in the trenches, looked at the opposite side with a periscope and a telescope, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Wang Baobao is going to be defeated" 6 Hai said very happily to the officers of the various departments: "He is not defeated in tactics but in national strength, if the Yuan Dynasty can mobilize 50,000 such musket troops and can give them far and continuous material supplies, then even if we have the advantage of artillery rifle weapons and twice the number of people, then as long as Wang Baobao uses this kind of trench warfare, step by step defense step by step retreat to establish a new defense." The outcome of the battle for Shandong is still difficult to say." 6 seas have won in hand, and began to comment on the opposite side. He was right, Wang Baobao's was indeed defeated in the pot, Wang Baobao's 20,000 troops were too few to protect a rear to provide logistics for it, and the Yuan Dynasty's ammunition guarantee for this firearm army was also a problem. Wang Baobao's father also tried to rescue this Yuan army's pure cavalry Chahan's troops were no longer able to intervene in the situation of this generation, and a cavalry division of the Republic was watching them. In sanity, Tsahan did not move.

In the first ten days of the annihilation of Wang Baobao's troops, most of the information came from the capital, so that Chahan had to rush back. Most of the coups took place, and the Seventh Prince was very old enough to take the prince's party, and the prince did not escape. The Seventh Prince solved the problem that the crown prince basically grasped the right to abolish the crown prince, he had achieved the real power of the government and the opposition, and the future emperor was also his puppet, and the Yuan army in Henan had been loyal to the Seven Princes, but the strength of Cha Khan was greatly damaged in the process of blocking the republic, and the remaining cavalry artillery troops were far from being the opponents of Henan's preservation of strength and transferred into the army, which made the king of Ruyang, who supported the prince's line, very entangled. He must rush back with his troops to show his attitude and prevent his own group from becoming outcasts.

Wang Baobao's breakthrough plan was really not beautiful, and the day after Wang Baobao ordered to prepare for the breakthrough, a rain fell. The few ammunition of the Wang Bao Bao Department were damp. Wang Baobao saw this as an opportunity, although his own gunpowder could not be used, but the republic, which relied more on firearms, was more affected. As a result, the morale of the Yuan army was high, and the Yuan army believed that its army, which had passed through the mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, was definitely no worse than the communist army. But Wang Baobao did not expect that the bullets of the republic are far from what they used to be, and now the republic has produced metal bullets, although the previous paper shell bullets have also been preserved, but in order to fight this trench war. In order to prevent moisture, all logistics management have been replaced with new metal-shelled bullets. The gunpowder inside the bullet is wrapped in metal, and the ground fire at the bottom is also protected by a layer of paint.

Wang Baobao's charge hit the muzzle of the gun, and the Communists who were hiding in the trench to shoot bullets were excited, and the ground rats on the opposite side were excited, and not only the rifles began to shoot, but even the machine gun crew, which had been silent for more than 20 days, also reacted. Bursts of gunfire cut off the last thoughts of the Yuan army. After Wang Baobao heard the dense gunfire, the last glimmer of hope turned over, he was not surprised why the bullets of the Republic Army were not affected by the rain, there were too many things that the predecessors of the Republic had created in the past few years did not dare to imagine, and now he was discouraged, and he was more than ten years old all of a sudden.

That's right, this charge completely exposed the fact that the ammunition of the Yuan army was damp, and after repelling the attack of the Yuan army, the communist army began to counterattack. One by one, grenades were thrown into the trenches, causing huge casualties, and the battle continued to disappear, and the Yuan army received an order from General Wang Baobao to surrender, and 13,000 Yuan Dynasty musket troops laid down their arms and surrendered unconditionally. As the chief general of the Yuan army, Wang Baobao committed suicide by taking poison and facing north.

6 Hai did not have any regrets about not being able to capture the enemy commander alive. After achieving the strategic goal, he didn't care about Wang Baobao's life or death, but Liu Hai still admired Wang Baobao, "He is a real general." Find a coffin to hide and set up a monument. 6 Hai ordered.

The battle to encircle and annihilate the largest musket infantry group of the Yuan army ended. After eliminating this armed force, the combined army of the 6 Sea Group was overwhelmed and took the whole of Shandong. Binglin Hebei and He Cheng's combat unit were connected. The final war against the Yuan Dynasty within the line of the Great Wall was coming.
