On July 13, Zhang Peiyu arrived at Xishan with 3,000 musketeers.

Originally, Wang Yu led the war, but Wang Xuan persuaded him to come back on the grounds that he was too 'conspicuous'.

The absence of a country's chief of staff for a long time will arouse suspicion among those who have a good heart.

After Wang Yu, Liu Liu was the most suitable, but Wang Xuan also rejected it, saying that there were other arrangements.

As for the arrangement, God knows.

So, Zhang Peiyu, who can only defend the city, picked up the leak, and luckily got this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which is expected to catch up with Yu Bazhi's footsteps and become one of the auspicious "Jiangxingtang", for which he was excited and didn't sleep all night, and Liu Yao fought until dawn.

On July 14, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Jixiang officially sent a note to the Hubei Consulate, asking it to compensate for the attack and killing of King Jixiang in Great Xia.

This also verifies the worries of the surrounding territories: auspicious, sure enough, the Hubei collar was opened!

This matter is clear to the world, saying that it is compensation, but in fact it is extortion, or finding balance.

Hubei Territory, with its superior geographical location, is one of the territories with the largest profits from auspicious overseas trade, with a lot of wealth and good strength.

But the sad thing is that the Hubei leader thought that the auspicious was just a show, just to make some benefits, so he symbolically compensated 10,000 gold coins.

But I never thought that there were more than 10,000 gold coins in the auspicious kingdom, even if it was a town in auspiciousness, or even a village, it was no longer a large amount, but it seemed to be a small family.

In the eyes of the Hubei leaders, it was the King of Daxia who attacked and killed the auspicious king, and he had nothing to do with the Hubei Ling, so why should he compensate the Hubei people?

Even if the skills are not as good as others, they will also take out 10,000 gold to 'compensate', which is already an extremely friendly approach, so why be aggressive?

This is just the wishful thinking of Hubei Ling, no one can give an answer, and even if there is, it is ridiculed!

According to the auspicious operation, more than 100 territories in Great Xia have unified 10,000 gold coins, at least one million gold, which is not a lot.

However, the fish never know the mind of the angler, and it is just an empty joy directed and acted by themselves from beginning to end.

Zhang Peiyu was a little stunned when he saw a bag full of gold coins.

He once naively thought that Hubei would choose a decent way to withdraw from the stage of history in order to understand the current affairs for the ultimate destination, and live the second half of his life with good food and drink, who knew that this would be the case.

Since the other party responded, then he had nothing to worry about.

Then he said to the generals: "The three-way infantry marches together, whichever way enters the lord's palace first, you will get this 10,000 bounty first, and after the battle, please ask Your Majesty for a reward." ”

Seeing that the commander was so generous, and that His Majesty was considerate of his own people, the generals all said that they wanted this 10,000 gold, and their troops wanted it.

The competition is not only about momentum, but also about follow-up resources.

Especially Shi Xingchang and Sun Yingjie, since Hu Yue came back, the two of them have been on the bar in all directions.

"Old Sun, don't choke with me, I set off from Xishan and fight from west to east, you fight from east to west from Beixing Yaohe, the distance between us and the lord's mansion is about the same, I won't deceive you, how about letting you go first for half a day?"

Shi Xingchang pointed to the map, quite ashamed, so that the rest of the generals were angry and did not dare to speak.

After the two returned, they were both promoted by the military department, and they are currently actual battalion commanders and acting regiment commanders.

Shi Xingchang's descendant troops are the Glory Regiment, while Sun Yingjie's descendant troops are the Iron and Steel Regiment, and the proper enemy road is narrow.

Now it's a competitive relationship, and it's strange not to spark it.

When he was in Hu Yue, in order to take care of the overall situation, Sun Yingjie would also take care of Shi Xingchang's feelings, as long as he could fulfill the operational requirements of the military department, he would not fight if he could.

This time it is different, they each represent different groups, not only new hatred but also old hatred, even if Sun Yingjie wants to let it himself, the people below are not allowed, so he replied very plainly, and said: "You can't win the war with your mouth, I will set up a hot pot in the lord's mansion and wait for you, if you are brave enough, come!"

The rest of the crowd competed to applaud, constantly adding oil and vinegar to sow discord among them, lest the world be chaotic rhythm, Zhang Peiyu who saw it on the side laughed secretly.

"Cheng, I think Lao Sun is a duck with a dead mouth, let's ride a horse and watch the flowers, and we'll see. ”

"Yo, when will you become a cultural person, teach us too!"

Shi Xingchang hung up the book bag, and was mercilessly ridiculed by everyone, so he was very bored, so after receiving the combat order, he returned to the barracks and laid out the battle plan.

Sun Yingjie naturally would not be careless in time, and took advantage of the night that night to lead the team on the transport ship in Xishan, all the way to the east, they will land at the entrance of the North Star Yao River in two days, and then launch an attack, all the way to the west, until they meet at the Lord's Mansion.

At the same time, the auspicious river fleet will sail into the North Xingyao River, and reach the junction of the Xihe Territory and the Xingfeng Territory in the territory along the river, blocking the channel and preventing the high-ranking officials and nobles of the territory south of the Huagong Territory from absconding from the waterway.

It is said to prevent people from fleeing, but in fact it is worried that they will transfer their wealth.

A war of tens of thousands of people, a mere 10,000 to 100,000 gold in compensation, what about kidding?

The third army is the main force of the Marine Corps, assisted by great white sharks and vipers, and the main task is to control the dock near the lake and prevent personnel from escaping from the waterway, so Shi Xingchang is only compared with Sun Yingjie, and this third road is simply the role of soy sauce.

On July 18, as soon as the sky was bright, the people of Hubei Province still picked the vegetables grown in the field and carried them into the city to sell them as usual, but they saw that the city gate had been sealed, and the soldiers in the city were waiting for them as if they were facing a great enemy, and they thought that they had seen it wrong.

"Hey fellow, why hasn't this city been opened, the dishes ordered by Boss Liu haven't been delivered yet, and I've missed someone's time, but I'm going to be fined." A vegetable seller asked anxiously.

"Boss Liu, hey, don't say that you send the food, even if you send it, I'm afraid he won't have an appetite now." The person who came looked sneering and left with a big grin.

The vegetable seller couldn't give up, and the words of the fellow had no beginning or end, and he didn't really hear it, so he pulled a few more people, but he heard mixed feelings in his heart.

Jixiang invaded Hubei and took ......

What should we do now?

Oh, my God!

It stands to reason that when there is an invasion by foreign enemies, the first thing that people think of is to migrate, and staying away from the land of right and wrong is the first choice, but the vegetable vendors and other small traders are indifferent, just complain and go home and live as usual.

And so on and so forth, the local people.

If this phenomenon is placed in the central and northern regions of Great Xia, it is absolutely unusual, but it can be placed in the southern border, but it is a very common thing, auspicious, and unattainable!

Auspicious, unconsciously, has affected too many people in Daxia.

Most of the immigrants are the people in the southern territory of Great Xia, who have three relatives and six relatives, and everything auspicious is naturally the capital for these people to show off.

The people in the south of Daxia are more like their hearts are in Cao Ying, and they are in the Han Dynasty, yearning for auspiciousness, but they are limited by the auspicious and harsh naturalization conditions, so they can only sigh at home.

Now that the mascot is here, although he is coming as an intruder, he does not disgust everyone.

As for the reason, hehe, let's go and see Hubei New District and New Taipei Town.

The pain brought by the Red Flame people to Jixiang is far greater than that of the combined fleet of Great Xia, they are the culprits who killed the second and third generations of auspicious lords, and they are the ones who indirectly killed the birth mother of the current auspicious king, so if you deserve it, die!

But even so, the current auspicious king only punished the high-ranking officials and nobles of Chiyan, never mistreated the lower-class people, and treated the scholars with a certain degree of tolerance, never harshly criticized, did not expropriate and extort money, and killed innocents indiscriminately, and even unjust, false and wrongful cases are rarely heard.

For the 'invasion' of such a near-perfect regime, what else do the Hubei leaders have to worry about?

It is said to be an invasion, but for the grassroots people, it is actually liberation.

The mascot is here, their life is better, look at Hubei, look at New Taipei, envy.

So much so that when Sun Yingjie led his troops to besiege Lixian (the largest town along the river in the east), what he saw was not a scene of chaos everywhere when the people fled from the wind;

The farming of the land, the practice of the stall, and the women and children who came straight to the auspicious army, peddling fruit snacks, shocked the old grandson and almost bit his tongue.

Sometimes Sun Yingjie suspects that he is not an intruder, but a savior who rescues the toiling masses, and comes on the colorful auspicious clouds, dispelling the darkness and letting the world see the light again.

Now it's good, there is no need to worry about the problem of supply, and you can buy the materials you need by spending a little money, which makes the logistics officers and soldiers very happy, they have never seen such a comfortable time when they have been in the army for so long.

After besieging Li County, the people in the city naturally panicked, and from time to time some people accepted the name of the vote, some said that they wanted to open the city gate in the middle of the night, some wanted to do the internal response, some offered maps, and some wanted to tell the inner city army distribution map frankly, and so on.

Sun Yingjie didn't need to think about it at all, just the staff officers worked out a complete information chain, and the conclusion was very straightforward: as long as the artillery was fired, the infantry attacked the city, and the other side would surrender.

So what are you waiting for?

On 19 July, 20 new Type 05 infantry guns were laid out at the east gate of Lixian County, and as the artillery commander gave an order, the flowering shells were fired like hail at the head of the city.

Before the third round of launches, a white flag was raised at the head of the city.

Sun Yingjie smiled madly when he saw this, "Lao Shi, Lao Shi, how can you compare with me?"

The other party hung up the white flag, auspicious stopped the shelling, and then the city gate was opened, the auspicious people swaggered into the city, and there were many Hubei people who entered the city together, this kind of scene was never seen by the auspicious people, and they never thought about it.

According to the records of later generations, when the mascot stepped into Lixian County, the people of Hubei Province sang and danced around the team as if they had celebrated the festival, and sold local specialties by the way.

This is the starting battle of 'Civilization over Barbarism'!

The landing site of the Marines is Nanhu City, the central city in the southern part of Hubei.

It is mainly used for parallel trading, transporting various aquatic products to the inland, and there are many traders and fishermen.

When the auspicious river fleet suddenly arrived, the fishermen not only did not run, but raised the auspicious flag: "Hey, brother, do you want fresh fish and shrimp?"

This scene stunned the brothers of the Marine Corps.

I thought it was my brother's ridiculous words.

After replying to the flag: After we hit Nanhu City, the other party actually replied: Good luck!

......

Nanhu City, the main merchant is lighter and more martial.

When the auspicious 3,000 marines approached the city, the city lord actually sent someone to discuss, saying that he would discuss the surrender after the morning market ended, which shattered the eyeballs of the ground.

Shi Xingchang's department in the west encountered a lot of trouble, and the defenders of Taiwei City were not as cheerful as Nanhu City and Li County, and they actually put crossbow arrows on the head of the city, showing the rhythm of winning and losing in a battle.

After this news reached the rear, it made Sun a little unnatural, and finally explained the reason.

It was because he coveted other people's industries and moved his mind, but he never thought that people were always guarding against him, so he had the current predicament.

This is called the hatred in Shi Xingchang's heart, and secretly scolding Sun Fat is not a thing.

Scolding and scolding, the city still has to be beaten.

So, under the blow of three rounds of flowering bombs, ten rounds of solid bullets, and two rounds of incendiary bombs (obtained by heating urine with a mixture of sand and other things), he succumbed.

In terms of time, Sun Yingjie is half a day behind in the east.

The news of the mascot's invasion of Hubei was not kept secret, so after the propaganda of merchant ships and fishing boats, it was revealed to the world.

When the news was transmitted to the royal capital, it was unintentional to call the dead Xiazhou City the royal capital.

The news that the Great Xia leaders received was only that: stick to it and wait for help.

When the Hubei lord received this news, Shi Xingchang had already prepared the hot pot and waited for Sun Yingjie to sit down.
