After reading Middle-earth, I can finally come to the kingdom now.

The Daohuang Dynasty, the overlord of the East, has a lot to do now, and the rebellion of the vassal states far away on its own borders is not the most concerned thing for the current imperial court.

The north has just been defeated, and it needs to arrange manpower and policies to completely digest it into its own territory. Although the flight of the remnants of the Cang Dynasty took away the vast majority of the resistance forces, there are still some so-called rebels organizing looting and terrorist attacks in the occupied areas.

In addition, the successive campaigns coincided with a drought and waterlogging, which happened to coincide with the critical time when the imperial court decided to solve the bloated Northern Expeditionary group.

So a lot of had to make the emperor and his auxiliary ministers busy every day.

The Northern Expeditionary Army gathered the elite forces of the entire dynasty, resulting in almost no soldiers to fight in the south, and those rebellious vassal states were in trouble everywhere in the southern region, so that the grain that the imperial court intended to support the disaster area was plundered.

And because they were worried that the imperial court would unload the mill and kill the donkey, the group of generals of the Northern Expedition naturally found some excuses to keep their troops near the capital, and did a perfunctory matter of supporting the counterinsurgency.

The imperial court knows what these people want, but if they want the country's long-term peace and stability in the future, unless the army continues to wave its division to conquer the whole world, then it must not let such a bloated Northern Expedition group continue to be retained, and the power of the army must be returned to the central government.

Now it seems that only some other armies can be used, but it seems that there is something wrong with using that army.

The army and the forbidden army near the Beijing division needed to be stationed in the Northern Expedition army not far to the north, and the Hunan army in the south needed to defend important ports from the enemy.

The army in the northeast needs to watch out for the only vassal state that has not rebelled, and the Shu army has been mobilized to escort the grain convoy. It seems that only the Chu army can be put into use.

But the Chu army is now at the forefront, because the strength is only about 50,000 and it is the only army in the south that can fight, so it has been split to lead the recruits recruited on the spot to fight.

You must know that those vassal states have formed an army of 300,000 with all their strength, and now the army of the Daohuang Dynasty in the south can rely on the strong city to resist the impact of the enemy.

For this reason, the imperial court decided to allow the wealthy merchants in the south to form a limited armed guard to resist the invaders and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

No matter how much they delay the speed, the Northern Expeditionary Force will one day go to the front line to participate in counterinsurgency operations.

Before that, the imperial court needed to send capable generals to the south to gather soldiers and train troops, and at the same time seek help from local forces.

There is also the industrialization process of the national dynasty, which has become smoother because of the aid to the Cang Dynasty, and most of the industrial products that the Daohuang Dynasty aided the Cang Dynasty were self-produced.

The price is very cheap compared to those Middle Earth smuggling groups that sell arms, and now the Cang Dynasty has no time to rewind its own heavy industry, so some heavy equipment such as artillery and other weapons directly rely on the support of the national dynasty.

The price of the exchange is some of the Cang Dynasty's gold reserves and the technology of hidden power. Relying on these two East and West, the Huang Dynasty began to develop its own industry.

However, at present, it is only focusing on the development of industrial technologies related to heavy weapons and ships, and as for the rest, because the opposition in the country is too loud than expected, it can only be done slowly.

It is a pity that the light industry, which had just picked up a little, is now in the area where it is located.

The recent defeat of the army and navy on the front line angered the emperor, and the Northern Expeditionary Army did not make any small moves in the emperor's anger, so it quickly dispatched a cavalry to rush to the front line to attack the rebels.

Elite troops are elite troops, and they have been fighting non-stop to defeat the rebels who are celebrating their victory, recapture lost ground, and even push the current front forward for dozens of kilometers at one point.

While the emperor was relieved, he also felt scared. The real strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army seems to be somewhat beyond the statement of his close ministers, is it that the rebels are too weak, or is the Northern Expeditionary Army too strong? It was a struggle for him.

And the front line far south was not what was reported in the military newspaper that returned to Beijing.

The rebel vassals used all their housekeeping skills, armored forces, and covert forces at the first moment of provoking the war.

If it weren't for the fact that the generals of the Hunan army and the Chu army saw that the situation was not right, and in the name of joint exercises, they lined up a joint army, including some Taoist priests accompanying the army, to the frontier and withstood the enemy's attack at the first time, I am afraid that the entire south would have fallen into the flames of war by now.

However, the Hunan army had its own duties, and the Chu army was small in number, so the combined army on the front line naturally did not resist for long before retreating. Of course, the valuable advantage they have won has given the local governor enough time to react.

Close the city gates, let the defenders go up the city walls, call veterans to serve as military staff officers, and patrol the whole city under martial law to guard against the enemy's infiltration of spies.

Of course, although these operations are correct, but people will make mistakes, some big cities are okay, and those big people naturally have a good training on weekdays to be able to top the fierce people in the event of an accident.

But it's hard to talk about small cities, so the south soon showed a situation where small cities fell and big cities were surrounded. When the local garrison began to fight the rebels, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers who had not been called up during the Northern Expedition can be imagined.

can only rely on the big cities as a support, barely maintaining a front. Not to mention taking the initiative to launch a counteroffensive, even to sweep away some enemy troops who are looting and looting everywhere, they dare not act.

The Northern Expeditionary Army, which arrived here first, was naturally angry after seeing such a situation and reported directly to the headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Then the headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army presented it to the emperor after some additional fuel, hoping that the emperor could know from their euphemistic language that it was not the time to reduce the Northern Expeditionary Army.

However, how could the emperor, who was already a little angry, notice the hints of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

"That's what you told me to only send reinforcements to counterattack? I didn't even dare to attack from the position to kill those thieves from the provocation of a few hundred people, is this still my Daohuang Kingdom?! Is this still the empire that just wiped out the Cangkou!? Waste, all waste! They should all be slaughtered! ”

The emperor directly overturned the imperial table in front of him and roared angrily in the main hall.

In the previous war report, it was always said that the lack of troops made it impossible for the southern army to counterattack, and the imperial court was thinking hard about finding a source of troops for them, and even did not hesitate to let the rich merchants get some power.

Because the imperial court also knew that the Northern Expedition not long ago was almost the strength of the whole country, the lack of troops in the south was naturally understandable.

As a result, he now told him that it was only because of the weak combat strength of the southern troops that the soldiers were timid and did not dare to take the initiative to attack, which annoyed the emperor.

Good fellow, I'm going to great lengths to pull you troops here because you don't dare to shed blood? Whose empire is this, exactly?

None of the ministers who knelt down underground dared to say anything at this time, and only some old gentlemen from the Ministry of Rites persuaded His Majesty that there was no need to move his face for this matter.

After venting for a while, the emperor also regained his composure, and looked at the ministers below majestically.

"Fan Shangshu."

"The minister is here." Fan Lixin came to the center of the main hall.

"What's the solution?"

"The minister has sent an elite regiment of captains headed by Yang Guangdao to the south to recruit troops and train troops."

"Oh? Who is Yang Guangdao? The emperor asked with some curiosity.

"Back to Your Majesty, Yang Guangdao is the martial artist of six years ago."

"Oh? Why not use Wu Zhuangyuan Kang Brilliant? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, after the personal inspection of the minister, Kang Huanghuang has the qualifications of a general, and Yang Guangdao has the potential of a marshal." Fan Lixin replied.

"So, how is the unit trained by Yang Guangdao and others?"

"Back to Your Majesty, tomorrow Yang Guangdao and others will lead the army to launch a beheading operation against the thieves, just wait for the battle report."

"Good, good! Very good! I am waiting for good news from the front. ”

Today's court meeting ended like this, and people couldn't help but wonder if the emperor and Fan Shangshu had a play. But regardless of whether it was acting or not, those ministers related to the forces in the southern region immediately found Fan Lixin as soon as they got out of the hall.

In addition to cooperating or cooperating, as long as Fan Shangshu's request was not excessive, these people immediately went home and used the imported radio equipment to communicate with the people in the south, fully cooperate with Yang Guangdao's troops, and ensure the victory of this battle even if the losses were great.

Otherwise, Fan Shangshu may lose his official position at that time, and they will lose their heads.

The forces in the south began to move quickly, making contact with Yang Guangdao and offering all possible help. Now Yang Guangdao is not welcome, artillery guns, and materials used in various Taoist methods.

The next day, Yang Guangdao led his troops directly through the roads that had been detected these days and directly penetrated into the belly of the enemy's large army, and then launched a surprise attack on the enemy's general command part.

The soldiers who had been summoned were not informed of their goal, and the twists and turns along the way had long since disoriented them. So they don't know what enemy they're facing.

Yang Guangdao himself is an extremely powerful Taoist, and his martial arts are also at the level of martial arts in the past, and he is also a fierce general, but he is not as strong as Kang Zhuangyuan.

As soon as Yang Guangdao appeared, he led a group of guards to directly cut through the enemy's military formation, and the soldiers in the rear immediately recovered from the confusion of the first battle when they saw that their main general was so fierce, and fought against the enemy under the command of the captains.

Yang Guangdao naturally couldn't rely on his own strength to directly pass through the military formation to take the head of the enemy's main general. As soon as the two armies engaged, they teleported to their own military formations and commanded the troops.

His superb command skills were vividly displayed in this battle, and the army of 3,000 people was played by him, and countless micro-exercises were realized through those captains.

These troops turned into countless spears and pierced into the enemy's formations, and driven by the high sums of money, these improvised soldiers burst into formidable combat effectiveness. Of course, you have to be able to succeed when you have a good wind.

Although Yang Guangdao really wants to form an army with the spirit of loyalty and patriotism as the core, this is a heavy and far-reaching matter, so he can only make do with it now.

In the end, before the nearby enemy reinforcement arrived, he had captured the enemy commander alive and fled.

From here, Yang Guangdao, the legendary general of the Pingnan Barbarian War, began his legend.
