Cheng Pan's joking opening caused most of the people present to laugh, and then Cheng Pan then said with a stern face and tone: "All stand up, now I declare that the republican government composed of a series of islands in Anhui, Rugao, Taiwan, Northeast China and the East China Sea has been established today, and from now on, the republican government will start a full-scale war with the Mengyuan Empire, and all members of the republican territory will all end their vacations, we can't afford to lose this war, once we lose all the people in the territory, Regardless of gender, age and youth, we will be slaughtered by the Mengyuan Empire, we must win, only when we win can we really live in the land left to us by our ancestors, please remember that we are bleeding blood, this is a just war, and it is the responsibility of our generation to regain the land use rights left to us by our ancestors."

Within a week of Cheng Pan's supreme mobilization order, the three million people under the republican government were all involved in the war, and all the factories immediately turned into a wartime state, and the peasants who had just finished the autumn harvest began to work nervously for logistics.

And now Cheng Pan stopped handing over the grain to the Yuan Dynasty every year. The original county towns in the territory were peacefully occupied by Cheng Pan for a while, and several ancient cities that were hollowed out by industrialization were quickly hung with sickles and hammer flags, and several county commanders were very familiar with each other and handed over the official seals representing the ruling power of the Yuan Dynasty. The morale of the Compreans no longer needs to be like the old army

On October 13, 1348, 20,000 communist troops marched west along the river, took Tongling within three days, and conquered Anqing Mansion. Tongling, the official smelting place of the Yuan Dynasty, was originally an important place of the Yuan Dynasty, but in recent years, it has been completely crushed by the steel factories in the republican territory. The officials of the Yuan Dynasty not only bought finished steel products, but also sent raw ore for processing even for copper smelting, so as to taste the rebates above. At this time, Tongling's will to resist was very weak, and only a few rounds of artillery directly dispersed the resistance force in the place, and the local county town was directly surrendered to the city under the baptism of mortar shells. However, under the walls of Anqing Mansion, the communist army was met with real resistance, and as the commander of the Huainan West Road, Mo Rigen certainly did not forget this fortified city.

Ninety years ago, in order to resist the invasion of the Mongol and Yuan Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Shuzhou Mansion at that time "used the masonry of the original Shuzhou Mansion city wall to rebuild it in Yicheng (Shengtang Bay Yichengdu Yin) as the new Anqing Mansion" (the site is in today's Anqing City), and moved to Huaining County to govern Guo. This place, on the verge of the Yangtze River, is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the last two years, Mozhigen has strengthened it. There are also anti-artillery holes in the city walls. But it only brought some obstacles to the Republicans. At the beginning of the establishment of the Communist Army, the research direction of artillery was mainly the mass destruction of soldiers, as for the siege heavy artillery Cheng Pan in this regard is only a practical production, no siege artillery of course there are other alternatives, Cheng Pan before the crossing but remember how the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom conquered the world's best fortified city Nanjing, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom used black powder to blow up Nanjing, and now as the commander of the army to attack Nanjing, He Feng, Directly using the method of tunneling, 500 kilograms of yellow explosives with a power of 100 times that of black powder were buried under the tower of Anqing City in one day.

In later generations, the power of black powder was only 1o times that of nitrate ammonia explosives, and the power of nitrate ammonia explosives was only 1o times that of picric acid, that is to say, 1 kg of picric acid was equivalent to 1o kg of ammonia nitrate and 1oo kg of black powder.

As a result, Mo Rigen's painstaking management of a stronghold that could make the heads of Huangzhou thieves break through the bleeding was thus breached by the communist army in one day, and when the explosives exploded, the people in Anqing suddenly saw that the tower of Anqing was raised a section, and then it collapsed in the thick smoke. I didn't see this scene, and the people of Anqing were also shocked by the thunderous sound of the explosion, and their ears hurt. The defending officers of the Anqing Army were descendants of Mo Rigen. Entrusted by Mozhigen, he was very conscientious, and when he learned that the Compa was coming, he lived directly on the tower of the city and supervised the defense of the city. But his morale-boosting move is now the biggest failure, he was directly knocked out by He Feng's big move, and hundreds of kilograms of explosives exploded under his buttocks, and he could still live without a dead person.

He Feng was 3oo meters away, observing his masterpiece, and he didn't expect the explosion to shake the mountains so much. After a while, he straightened up and said to the Tunnel Demoman on the side, "Remember to have less explosives next time."

A few minutes after the explosives exploded, He Feng ordered the soldiers to assault, and this city defense battle was fought very easily, and the Yuan army, which originally thought that they were under the protection of the copper wall, was crippled by this huge sound and light effect. Now the city wall that he relies on is like an eggshell under this terrorist attack on the other side, and there is a huge gap in his heart, and of course there are more people who think that this is a curse. The Yuan army, which was demoralized and lost its command at the same time, had no intention of resisting at all. Anqing went down in a battle.

Later, later generations of war scholars commented that the appearance of picric acid and tunnel excavation tactics in this battle completely announced the death penalty of the classical Chinese city wall.

After taking Anqing, the follow-up 10,000 troops stayed in the newly occupied area and began a vigorous agrarian revolution. Of course, the landlords who were attacked did not end well, and after the public trial, those who died died, and those who were reformed through labor were reformed through labor. As for the children of women's families, the Republicans arranged for women to work and their children to schools. As for whether these people will have the idea of revenge in the future, the republican government as a form of government does not care about this, and the establishment of rules will never be affected by anyone or anything.

In the agrarian revolution, the 10,000-strong communist army fully mobilized the masses. With the support of the agrarian policy, the republican government gave the peasants the promise of owning a piece of land of their own. It was far more than the 10,000 communist forces that attacked the landlord forces. Hundreds of thousands of peasants took up the spear of the republican government and rebelled against the unfair rules that had dominated the land for millennia, and in the process, the combined forces greatly maintained order. Some landlords who completely surrendered and had a good reputation for not committing bad deeds conformed to the land policy of the Republican Army after dividing the land equally among relatives and friends according to the plan given by the Republican Army. But there were always some landless ruffians who began to take advantage of the chaotic situation and under the banner of the Republican Army to break into houses and rob houses.

In response to this, the special law enforcement forces of the Communist Army, in accordance with the military law of wartime disorder, all of them were publicly executed. Under this iron-clad approach, the old rules collapsed and the new ones were forcefully enforced.

Hundreds of thousands of people were restrained, and with the help of the Tuntian policy of the territory, farm tools and rations, production began to resume.

After Mo Rigen first learned the news of the rebellion of the Communist Army, he quickly organized the troops but the degree of the Communist Army was faster, Cheng Pan knew the changes of Mo Rigen over the years, Cheng Pan attached great importance to this, and Cheng Pan decided to make Mo Rigen, a studious child, cry in this war. The 50,000 Republican Army went straight north to Morrigan's territory.

After knowing that An Qingxun was lost, a string in Mo Rigen's heart collapsed, and An Qing in his plan could hold back the communist army for at least a month and contain 30,000 people, so that the next battle would be easier to fight. But it couldn't be stopped for just one day. Mo Rigen hoped at this time that Anqing's guards were incompetent and cowardly to abandon the city, but unfortunately the news came in detail, and Anqing was quickly destroyed by unknown means of the enemy. An Qing was killed directly, and Mo Rigen's feeling of emptiness after losing a card was quickly replaced by a cold air. Suddenly, he aimed at a sentence in the chemistry book, "The Orthodox Avenue, the Strongest Force". only to come back to his senses. He has been studying chemistry lately. He thought of a way that Anqing's destruction must have been blown up by a powerful gunpowder.

But he didn't think long before he was overwhelmed by another piece of news from the herald who came in again. The Communists went north. "It's coming so fast," Morrigan whispered.

At this time, southern Anhui belonged to Jiangnan East Road, and because Zhejiang was tossed by Fang Guozhen, the troops on Jiangdong Road were pulled out. Southern Anhui is empty, but it does not mean that there is no big battle, and the army from Jiangxi is ready to go to Zhejiang to suppress bandits. The army of 10,000 people passed through southern Anhui. and a division of the army that took southern Anhui, a division of 6,000 troops, encountered. The shrapnel of the eighty guns of the division quickly dispersed. Wang Cheng, the commander of this division, won a complete victory in this encounter, and Li Ran, the commander-in-chief of the five divisions who went south this time, said after hearing the news: "Why did I hand over the task of approaching the southwest to him, shit luck against the sky." This was the case, and the troops heading south this time barely fought. Fang Guozhen made a move in Zhejiang and restrained all the troops in Jiangnan.

The basic work of the entire army that conquered southern Anhui was to implement the land policy and the game of blowing up the city wall, and the only field battle was fought by Li Ran. It's not just the southbound troops that hurt. The 20,000 troops advancing eastward did not even fight a large-scale field battle, and they were basically blowing up the city walls. At this time, Jiangsu and other places in the east were not only empty of troops, but also the first thing to guard after learning of Cheng Pan's rebellion was the 10,000 troops stationed in Rugao County. That place is too close to the core area of Jiangsu, the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou, in fact, there is also a little movement in the eastern area, and 5,000 people with 8o cannons are relying on the supply of water in Suzhou City, and there is nothing to do in the city. The defenders of the city of Suzhou went crazy and asked for help from outside, and most of the troops in the southeast that were originally restrained by Fang Guozhen were left to be teased by a division of Rugao in Suzhou.

Therefore, at this time, the resistance encountered by the eastward advancing troops was extremely weak. After the capture of Yangzhou, the eastward advance of the troops stopped.

At this time, the northward group was the largest, with 50,000 people, and after a lapse of a few years, the communist army and the 30,000 troops led by his old rival Mo Rigen met again in Luzhou. Neither side is where it was a few years ago. But the outcome of the war has long been clear, first the two sides in terms of cavalry are Mozhigen 4,000 communist army 5,000, Mozhigen cavalry uses bows and arrows, and the communist cavalry uses metal bullets produced in the territory, and secondly, the 40,000 communist infantry are equipped with breech six paper shell bullet rifles. Most of Morrigan's foot soldiers use cold weapons, but they have a large number of bows and crossbows, and Morrigan has cultivated a large number of armor produced by workers, which has increased the armor rate of these people, but Morrigan does not know that armor cannot protect against Mini bullets. The artillery Mozhigen covered the walls with all his efforts over the years, a total of twenty-five smoothbore bronze cannons. And Cheng Pan will bring an artillery unit of 5,000 people, mortars and a type of artillery, a total of 1ooo doors, ready to tell Mo Rigen what the sky is falling apart. Not to mention anything else, this kind of artillery ratio can be hit, and the Mozhigen comes out.

Cheng Pan went north this time specifically to bully the Yuan army, and this northbound army was not aimed at Mo Rigen at all, but shouted like the Yuan army of the entire Henan Jiangbei Province and Zhongshu Province, which was most of northern China.
