readx;?? c_t; Wang Kuang, as a member of the Zhonglang Legion of the Qin Army, is a member of the five hundred masters, and his own strength is naturally quite high. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info [Please see the latest chapter of this book] Otherwise, it would be really difficult to achieve this position among the most elite troops of the Great Qin Empire at the moment.

But it is undeniable that because the Central Army of the Great Qin Empire, and even the Zhonglang Army of the Gongwei Defense of the area near Afang Palace, has not experienced actual combat for a long time since Zhang Jiashi died of illness. And this situation also reflects that the combat capability of the most elite troops of the Great Qin Empire is still unknown.

It's just that the royal family of the Great Qin Empire is not stupid in this regard, because even if they have not experienced actual combat for a long time, most of the officers and soldiers of the Central Army will adopt the method of partial rotation with the border army to deal with this problem.

Using veterans of the border army to command some new recruits, on the whole, there are still many flaws. Of course, this arrangement is undoubtedly much better than a supposedly elite force, but it has not been engaged in actual combat for a long time.

After all, no matter how fine the tradition and the inheritance of glory, once an elite unit does not know how to deal with actual combat for a long time, then the combat effectiveness that this unit can exert is very likely to be left with the pressure between equipment.

Such a situation can be said to be quite common in Chinese history.

Whether it is the government military system, the recruitment system of the Song Dynasty, the Mongolian cavalry that lost the corresponding will to fight in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the guard soldier system in the Ming Dynasty and the Eight Banners in the late Qing Dynasty, it can be said that they are models in this regard.

Especially the knight troops that swept through Europe and Asia during the Yuan Dynasty, under the premise that they were still defeated and won few in the face of the peasant army that was inferior to them in many times, you can imagine how serious the decline in their combat effectiveness was.

The peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty refers to the armed struggle of the peasants of the Yuan Dynasty in China to resist and overthrow the Yuan feudal dynasty from the 11th to the 27th year of the reign of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty (1351-1367).

The famous slogan of the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was: "Mo Dao stone man has one eye, and this thing is against the world." Or, "The stone man has one eye, instigating the Yellow River to rebel against the world." ”

"Mo Dao Shiren has one eye, instigating the Yellow River to rebel in the world", this is a folk song that was widely popular in the Yellow River disaster area in the tenth year of Zhizheng (1350). In the eleventh year of Emperor Shun (1351), Han Shantong and others buried a stone man at the bottom of the Yellow River in advance, and the migrant workers dug out the stone man during the construction.

In this year, the government of the Yuan Dynasty ordered a total of 150,000 peasants from the Ministry of Works, including Shangshu Jialufa Bianliang and Daming, to repair the Yellow River, and at the same time sent troops along the Yellow River to suppress it. After the outbreak of the Red Turban Uprising, for a while, "the poor were like returning home from chaos", and within a few months, the banner of the uprising was raised everywhere between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

The Red Turban Army Uprising that broke out in the eleventh year of Zhizheng (1351) was mainly divided into two branches, one started in Yingzhou, led by Han Shantong and Liu Futong, and the other started from Qi and Huang, and the leaders were Xu Shouhui and Peng Yingyu (that is, Peng Monk).

Han Shantong was born into a family of White Lotus Sects, and since his ancestors, he has secretly organized activities with the intention of restoring the rule of the Han dynasty. In May of the 11th year of Zheng, Han Shantong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and his disciple Liu Futong led the peasant army to capture Yingzhou. Han Shantong and others had long used the White Lotus Sect to organize peasants to carry out anti-Yuan struggles, and claimed to be the eighth grandson of Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the incident was leaked, Han Shantong was arrested and sacrificed, and his son Han Lin'er fled to Wu'an, and the disciples Futong and others came to Yingzhou, captured Zhu Gao, and opened a warehouse in Zhu Gao to help the poor, "hundreds of thousands of followers". Later, it successively occupied Nasan, Jinyang, Chosan, Runing, Xiju, Gwangju and other places.

In August, Xu Shouhui and Peng Yingyu captured Qizhou. Peng Yingyu is the "son of Zhuang Min's family" in Yuanzhou, who has been a monk since he was a child, and treats people with clear springs, and the people of Yuanzhou are "like gods". He used the White Lotus Cult to organize peasant uprisings for a long time. In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1338), the uprising failed, and he fled to Huaixi, and the Huaimin "fought for refuge". At this point, Peng Yingyu pushed the cloth seller Xu Shouhui as the leader, in Qi and Huang uprisings, Jianyuan Zhiping, the country name Tianwan, and soon occupied Wuchang, Anlu, Chuyang, Jiangzhou, Raozhou. These two peasant armies were wrapped in red scarves at their heads, called the Red Turban Army or the Red Army, and they both believed in Maitreya Buddha and burned incense to gather people, also known as the "incense army". In addition, the Red Army also took the Red Army as its name, including Xiaoxian Sesame Li, Nanyang Buwangsan, Jingfan Menghaima, and Haozhou Guo Zixing, and the peasants of "Lianghuai, Feng, Pei, Xu, Ru, Jing, and Han" all rose up to respond. The basic masses of the Red Turban Army were poor peasants. Ye Ziqi, a literati at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, said that at that time, "the characters were uneven between the rich and the poor, and they were happy and chaotic". Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, also said that in the Haozhou area: "There are more than 10,000 people who abandon agriculture and tend to be fierce." The fundamental reason why the peasants rose up to resist the Yuan was the inequality between the rich and the poor in society at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the class contradictions intensified. But the brutal national oppression of the Mongol rulers was also an important reason.

In the fourteenth year of Zhizheng (1354), Emperor Yuan Shun listened to the slander of the traitorous ministers, and dismissed the "army of one million and scattered for a while", and many people joined the Red Turban Army, and Liu Futong's momentum was growing day by day. In the fifteenth year of Zhizheng (1355), Liu Futong supported Han Lin'er to be the emperor in Bozhou, changed the Yuan Dragon and Phoenix, and the country was called the Great Song Dynasty, and was known as the "King of Xiaoming" in history. The Red Turban Army in all parts of the Central Plains accepted the leadership of the Great Song Dynasty. In the seventeenth year of Zhizheng (1357), Liu Futong divided his troops into three ways to attack the Yuan. Led by Mao Gui, the eastern route swept away the Yuan army in Shandong, Hebei and other places, and reached Liulin and Zaozhuang, which was only more than 100 miles away from the capital. The Mongol nobles in Dadu (present-day Beijing, China) suggested fleeing north. However, the Red Turban Army encountered resistance from Yuan Dynasty reinforcements in central Hebei and withdrew to Shandong. Led by Mr. Guan and Potou Pan, the middle route attacked Jiangzhou, entered Baoding Road, turned through Datong, and went straight to the north. In December of the 18th year of Zhizheng (1358), this rebel army captured Shangdu (near present-day Duolun, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), burned down the Mengyuan Palace, which was "rich across Saibei", and immediately moved to various parts of Liaodong, and invaded Goryeo (present-day Korea) twice. Led by Li Xixi and Bai Buxin, the western route was from Jingzhou and Fancheng to attack Chang'an (now Xi'an, Shaanxi). Li Xixi entered Sichuan, and the rest of the army captured Gansu, Ningxia and other places.

At the same time as the three-way march, Liu Futong also captured Bianliang, and took Bianliang as the capital, so "build the palace, Yi Zhengshuo, Bashu, Jingchu, Jianghuai, Qilu, Liaohai, west to Gansu, where the soldiers rise, the momentum is connected." As the Red Turban Army said: "Thinking of the people, trapped in Hu for a long time, advocating righteousness and raising troops, restoring the Central Plains, east over Qilu, west to Qin, south through Fujian and Guangzhou, north to Youyan, all are attached, such as the hungry get the ointment, the sick meet the medicine stone", the Red Turban Army's anti-Yuan struggle has reached the Gao Dynasty so far;

Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the fact that the Yuan army was tired of dealing with the Red Turban Army in the north and had no time to look south, and adopted a series of effective measures to gradually develop and grow. Adopting the strategy of first the west and then the east, and first the strong and then the weak, in the course of specific operations, we made steady progress, concentrated superior forces, first pruned branches and leaves, and then shook their fundamentals, thus leveling the heroes and unifying the south of the Yangtze River, and laying a solid material and military foundation for the northward march to destroy the Yuan.

Yingxiu naturally didn't know the history of another world, but out of some considerations and taking into account that most of the officers and soldiers of the Zhonglang Legion had no actual combat experience, Yingxiu asked two hundred generals of the Zhonglang Legion, who were quite rich and served as commanders from the border areas, as Wang Kuang's deputies.
