Chapter 297: The Youyang Army also performed very well

Wang Hongyu decided at this time to officially disclose his Dingyuan Marquis.

As soon as the Marquis of Dingyuan appeared, the people of Chongqing remembered this title, and praised who saved them from generation to generation.

He is not only a hereditary martial artist, but also a knighthood that has been restored by his achievements.

Pacifying the southwest, revitalizing the southwest's economy, and changing the political system in the southwest all depend on Wang Hongyu.

To put it bluntly, the southwest is the pilot of the Ming Dynasty's political and economic reform, in fact, the decision-maker is the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the executor and initiator are Wang Hongyu.

The theoretical basis of political and economic reform comes entirely from Wang Hongyu, and without Wang Hongyu, political and economic reform is simply empty talk.

In fact, Wang Hongyu's reform began with the military, and the successful reorganization of the Hunhe Army on the banks of the Liao River has been proven to be successful through the First Battle of Chongqing.

Cai Fuyi was promoted by Wang Hongyu at the suggestion of Tianqi, and the governor of Yunyang and the governor of Sichuan seem to be at the same level on the surface, but in fact they play a much greater role than the governor of a province.

Such an important position was appointed by Wang Hongyu after he proposed the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse also told Cai Fuyi afterwards.

A doll less than twenty years old can make the Emperor of the Apocalypse obey his words, which shows how high Wang Hongyu's status is in the mind of the Apocalypse? Presumably, the second one will not be found in the current imperial court.

Cai Fuyi should know that there should be a lot of talents like him, that is, a replacement can be found.

However, a talent like Wang Hongyu can be said to be an all-rounder, and it is estimated that it is difficult to find a replacement in Daming, and Wang Hongyu is the only one.

On the surface, Cai Fuyi is Wang Hongyu's boss, and Cai Fuyi can naturally understand the master-slave relationship between himself and Wang Hongyu from the words he said when Tianqi summoned him.

Cai Fuyi will never fight with Wang Hongyu for power, since Wang Hongyu can promote himself, he must be sure to oust himself from power.

Cai Fuyi's official position was promoted to two levels in less than half a year, which is rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

He knows very well that this is completely the reason why Wang Hongyu trusts him, and another reason is that Wang Hongyu has strong insight, and he knows that he is reliable.

Don't say that he doesn't have the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, Pang Tong has the talent to see thousands of lines and listen to thousands of words, and he was not rejected by Sun Quan and Liu Bei?

Pang Tong and Lu Su recommended Sun Quan, but neither of them was hired by Sun Quan; Lu Su recommended Pang Tong to Liu Bei as a county magistrate.

Later, Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang also recommended Pang Tong, and Liu Bei had to send Zhang Fei to study before reusing him.

Maxima is often there, but Bole is not always there, and I must cherish this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a veritable green leaf.

Wang Hongyu also knows how to unite people.

The court suggested that Zhu Xieyuan be promoted to the acting governor of Sichuan, and cooperate with Cai Fuyi and Wang Hongyu to quell the rebellion of Lu'an.

praised Cai Fuyi's exploits again, without his support, he could not rescue Chongqing in time.

Such a modest attitude will make many civil officials feel that he is worth getting along with.

Most people will also accept that on the Sichuan-Guizhou front, Wang Hongyu has the first real power.

......

The war in Chongqing is over, and the Zunyi side is still fighting.

While the main force of the luxury family went to Chengdu, they arranged a partial division to attack Zunyi.

Wang Hongyu had already expected it, and while notifying his hometown to take precautions, he also directly arranged for Youyang Tusi to send troops to support.

Starting from Youyang, passing through Yanhe County, Dejiang County, Fenggang County, and Meitan County to Zunyi, more than half of the distance can be taken by waterway, but the waterway twists and turns will detour many roads.

Zunyi is in the southwest of Youyang, and the land route is close to a straight line, and you can reach it by walking all the way to Dachuan. Passing through four counties on the way, it is about 600 miles, and the big car can travel in both directions.

Youyang began to send out 800 soldiers and 4,200 Tuntian soldiers. Ran Yuelong personally took command, and Madame Bai and nephew Ran Tianhu were the deputy generals.

Every 800 Tuntian Army has a thousand generals, a total of 5 thousand generals, leaving a quota of 200 people to set up guns and artillery in the future, and the thousand generals are all promoted from the original Tuntian army, but he personally trained the battle formation for two months.

Guns are the shortcomings of Youyang soldiers and Shizhu soldiers, and the lack of guns is not a strong army, Wang Hongyu has already sent the replaced arquebuses to Shizhu and Youyang, and let them train more musketeers first.

The 800-person phalanx completely imitated Wang Hongyu's spear phalanx, except that there were fewer arquebuses and fewer pikemen, but there were many sword and shield soldiers, archers, and crossbowmen.

According to the distance and road conditions, it is close and convenient to go to Zunyi Youyang, but I am afraid that Yongning has already set off, after all, it will take three or four days for the information to be transmitted from Yongning to Wanxian and then to Youyang.

Ran Yuelong sent his nephew Ran Tianhu to lead 800 soldiers to ride horses and mules for a hundred miles a day and set off a day in advance, for fear that the Yongning soldiers would arrive first.

The Zunyi Military and Civilian Government has only been established for 21 years, and its foundation is weak. It is estimated that the battalion is less than 1,500 soldiers, and the guard soldiers are about 3,000.

The battalion soldiers have a certain combat power, and the combat power is not worse than the Yongning Tuntian soldiers, but the guards are not satisfactory, although the guards have not been established for a long time, unlike the guards in other parts of the Ming Dynasty who are almost no combat power, but they are far worse than the Yongning Tuntian soldiers.

Zunyi City is not big, and the city wall is more than three zhang high. It is still the old city left by Yang Yinglong Tusi, and it stands to reason that the battalion soldiers and guard soldiers of Zunyi should be able to defend it for a while.

As long as you hold on for three days, reinforcements from Youyang will arrive.

Ran Yuelong asked the two thousand generals who stayed behind to lead 2,000 Tuntian soldiers as a postponement team, and then rushed over.

Along the way, Yanhe County, Dejiang County, Fenggang County, and Meitan County all sent people to prepare grain and grass to supply the Youyang army, and also sent people to transport baggage.

The army arrived in the west of Meitan County, east of Zunyi, and met the scouts of Ran Tianhu delivering a letter, and it turned out that the Yongning Tusi soldiers arrived yesterday and came with 5,000 enemy troops.

The enemy didn't expect the Youyang Army to appear at all, and was harassed by Ran Tianhu in shifts 5 times in one night, and now he can't come out of the camp, and all the scouts sent by him are killed by Ran Tianhu's subordinates.

Ran Tianhu is the eldest son of Ran Yuelong's second brother Ran Jianlong, and his ability to fight is very strong, Ran Yuelong is very satisfied with this nephew, and he hopes that Ran Tianhu will assist Ran Tianyu in managing Youyang in the future.

On the evening of the next day, the army arrived in Zunyi and joined forces with Ran Tianhu victoriously. Ran Yuelong immediately sent people into the city to deliver a letter, and made an appointment to attack the Yongning army the day after tomorrow.

Two days later, the 10,000 troops of the Youyang Zunyi coalition army attacked the Yongning army in the north and south, and the Tuntian soldiers in Yongning were really powerful, and they were not afraid at all in the face of twice the enemy army, and a big battle was fought from morning to dusk.

The Youyang and Zunyi coalition forces had the upper hand, and although the Yongning army suffered many casualties, it also caused a lot of trouble to the coalition army.

The Zunyi guards lacked training, and began to lose their physical strength in the afternoon, so Ran Yuelong sent 800 soldiers over to support and stabilized his position.

In the future, another battle was fought, and the Yongning army suffered greater losses than the first time, and seeing that it could not win, the Yongning generals did not hesitate to retreat, and retreated for the first time at night.

The Youyang Army was stationed in Zunyi, strictly abiding by Wang Hongyu's orders, and not easily fighting.
