Xiong Chu is so concerned about the progress of shipbuilding, of course, there is a stricter situation waiting for him.

Xia Yun's Eastern Route Army was the first to be dispatched, and it was stored as the flank force of the Middle Route Army of the Wanlian Army Division.

The main purpose of the Eastern Route Army was to closely monitor the South Vietnamese rebellion in the east and provide the necessary countermeasures for the seizure of the Cheli Propaganda Mission and the Lao Propaganda Mission.

Xia Yun's thoughts are the same as Huang Yanying's, and she has long held her breath for Xiong Chu to put herself aside, because her situation is not the same.

On the one hand, she originally had a skin-to-skin relationship with Xiong Chu, although she looked like an ice beauty on the surface, in fact, Xia Yun could not have other ways to go.

On the other hand, the master Caiyun Fairy Xiao Bijun once left an order to "never leave" in the glacial dome of the Altan Mountains.

Since stepping into the rivers and lakes, Xia Yun has been wandering around Luoyang alone since she was fifteen or sixteen years old, and she soon became known as a nobody. It can be said that Xia Yun has never been afraid of anyone, and naturally she has not suffered any grievances.

Unexpectedly, Xiong Chu, who usually doesn't say anything, actually flashed the pole this time and ran away alone after hanging himself in Yunnan.

The meaning of being without a trace is to kill people without blinking an eye, leaving no traces at all.

Xia Yun was a little angry this time.

Women are angry, and if they don't do it well, the mountains and rivers will change color, not to mention that Xia Yun now has nearly 20,000 troops in her hands.

The vanguard of the Eastern Route Army was the Destruction Battalion of Yasburu and Chen Jiechao, with a strength of 3,600 troops. Together with the fact that both of them had two hundred and forty personal soldiers, the total number was more than four thousand.

The rebellious head who was entrenched in the lawsuit of Wang Rongshan in Lin'an Mansion was blown away by a gust of wind, and then went down the Yuan River to the east, and took an important pass at the confluence of the Yuan River and the Nanxi River in a surprise attack: Jiaoguan.

Then, with the help of bamboo rafts, boats and five-bag arks, 4,000 people crossed the Yuan River in one go, occupied the five towns of Lao Cai, Madang, Xigu, Sapa, and Banbo on the south bank, and completely locked the key passes in the upper reaches of the Red River.

Xia Yun and Tao Yanru commanded the Chinese army to cross the river at noon the next day, and without waiting for the hussar battalion of Fan Tao and Hou Du to come, they ordered Yasburu and Chen Jiechao to immediately move westward.

Yasburu and Chen Jiechao lived up to expectations, and within five days, they broke through Shen Yuan and Ban Nangu, crossed the Tuojiang River, captured Mengdong, and captured Dien Bien Phu.

Xia Yun inherited a trace of the extreme character of Xiao Bijun, the fairy of Caiyun, so the whole action was spicy and bold.

Fan Tao and Hou Du's hussar battalion had just crossed the river and had not yet gained a firm foothold, so Xia Yun handed over to them the people guarding the front line of Lao Cai, and then led the Chinese army westward to Dien Bien Phu to take over Yaspur's defense area.

After that, Yasburu and Chen Jiechao spent a month pacifying the entire Lai Chau, and by the way, occupied Phongsali in Laos and controlled the upper reaches of the Nam Kham River.

Originally, the first phase of the combat mission of Xia Yun's East Road Army ended here, because the passage to the south had been opened for the military division Wan Lian, and the north gate of the Lao Propaganda Mission had been opened.

However, Xia Yun had no intention of stopping at all, but ordered Yasburu and Chen Jiechao to go down the river and successively seize the three towns of Mengkua, Mengwei, and Bansai, which was less than 120 miles away from the northern island of the Mekong River, where the rebels were stationed in the territory of the Lao Propaganda Mission.

At the same time, Xia Yun ordered the hussar battalions of Fan Tao and Hou Du to move south along the Red River Valley, captured Baohe and Zhaihu, and suddenly attacked and captured the fortress of An Pei, directly threatening the capital of the eighteenth emperor of the Lê Dynasty, Le Weiqi, Thang Long City (present-day Hanoi).

The ghost place of Annan has now become a mess, and the entire force is divided into three parts.

Central Thang Long City (present-day Hanoi City) and its surroundings belonged to the Hou Lê Dynasty. This Hou Li Dynasty was originally a regime that was restored by the Zheng group and rebelled from the Mo Dynasty.

Although the Mo Dynasty had lost nine-tenths of its territory, it now occupied Gaoping in the north, and was surviving under the protection of the Ming Dynasty's Guangxi Chengxuan Political Envoy.

The son emperor who is now in charge of the Mo Dynasty is called Mo Guangzu, and his younger brother Mo Jingkuan is the secretary of the military department. At present, the troops are stationed in Liangshan to guard against the Houli Dynasty in the south to march north again.

The Mo dynasty and the Hou Lê dynasty fought endlessly, and the Nguyen family of Nguyen Phuc Yuan's line seized the Quang Nam area, occupied Vinh City, Dong Hai, and Hue, and announced that they would sever relations with the Zheng dynasty.

Li Weiqi of the Later Li Dynasty is now an emperor, and the minister of power is Zheng Jie, the king of the Qing capital.

Xia Yun was not a very reckless person, she ordered her troops to attack in two directions, just because the news from Li Qing's scout camp was very favorable.

After the three northern expeditions of the Houli Dynasty, the Mo Dynasty can no longer support it now. The Ming court is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is simply unable to send troops to help Mo Guangzu "recover the lost territory and punish the rebellion".

Although the Ming Dynasty couldn't send troops, Xia Yun just needed a reasonable excuse to send troops now, and the two hit it off. The parties agreed that:

Mo Jingkuan, the military department of the Mo Dynasty, dispatched all the elite 3,000 infantry troops and 2,000 naval troops to the south to capture Taiyuan and Beijiang.

Xia Yun's army on the eastern route went down the river and captured the three important towns of Anpei, Xuanguang, and Yuechi.

The two families surrounded Thang Long City (present-day Hanoi City), and then swept all the way south, by the way, pacified the Nguyen clique and agreed to the entire territory of Annam.

The two sides only discussed sending troops to fight, but did not even involve the conditions for sending troops.

Xia Yun is not a fool, how can she make a loss-making transaction?

The Mo Dynasty deliberately did not take the initiative to request the conditions for sending troops, and Xia Yun pretended not to know.

No condition is the best condition, and if you really get one condition, it will be troublesome in the future.

Because Xia Yun's second phase of combat mission is to occupy the entire territory of Annan. If you come up with a condition now, you will have to find an excuse to destroy the Mo Dynasty in the future.

After Yasburu and Hou Du captured An Pei, they immediately alarmed Zheng Jie in Thang Long City.

Because the enemy came so suddenly, there was no time to react at all, so Zheng Jie had to personally lead his troops to Xuanguang City, which was urgently calling for help.

As a result, Zheng Jie was just an hour late, and Xuanguang City had been breached.

Zheng Jie thought that he was only an hour late, and now he immediately launched a counterattack, and he could take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to recapture Xuanguang City.

Who knew that the order to siege the city had just been issued, and the two ambushes were everywhere, and hundreds of Kong Ming crossbow carts attacked Zheng Jie's 7,000 army for two hours, regardless of the number of arrows consumed, and they were completely defeated in an instant.

As a result, on the way to escape, they were bombarded by hundreds of mines, and less than 2,000 of the 7,000 infantry troops finally fled back.

The infantry could escape, but the thirty-three ships that had tried their best to go up the river had just turned around in the middle of the river and were about to flee when thirty-six bamboo ropes suddenly appeared on the river.

The rope crosses the river, and the ship is in the soup. Although it is possible to cut the bamboo scorn, and the navy of the Later Li Dynasty also did so.

But it takes time to cut the bamboo stalks, and God often does not leave time for mortals, and always makes you rejoice in the moment when you see a glimmer of hope, and finally misfortune.

The 2,200 sailors still wanted to resist stubbornly while cutting the ropes and escaping.

As a result, in the end, only a rope was not cut, and hundreds of tiger squatting cannons suddenly appeared on both sides of the Tuojiang River, and after a fierce bombardment, more than half of them were killed and wounded, and they were forced to surrender.

It turned out that Yasburu and Chen Jiechao's attacking battalion was like a bamboo, defeating the three towns of Mengkua, Mengwei, and Ban Sai in one go, and occupying the important town of Sangnu in eastern Laos without bloodshed.

Xia Yun's Chinese army did not continue to stay in Dien Bien Phu, but descended along the Tuojiang River and successively captured the two important towns of Shan Luo and Wen'an. Then he ordered the cavalry battalion to urgently advance eastward to reinforce Fan Tao and Chen Jiechao to seize Yuechi.

Xia Yun dared to send out the main force around her, leaving only a cavalry battalion and a female battalion, because there were a group of Han people in the occupied Sangnu place in the west of Yasburu and Hou Dusuo.

Because the imperial court was not allowed to "sail to the sea", they originally came in from Hepu and Cangwu to engage in smuggling business. I didn't expect that there were wars going on everywhere here, and I ended up being trapped here for nearly a hundred years.

These Han Chinese have been passed down for two generations and have established their own Chinese villages, with a total population of more than 3,000.

Now that their own troops have come in, those Han people who have not forgotten their roots are of course happy to welcome their disciples.

Not only that, but their offspring also selected more than 300 people to serve as soldiers to eat food and lead the way for their children.

These people have been smuggling everywhere and know some mountain roads, valleys and rivers well, so the Destruction Battalion of Yasburu and Hou Du came first, seized Thanh Hoa City, controlled Dongfeng Port, and formed a semi-encirclement of Nanding City.

At this point, the Hou Li Dynasty has been surrounded in Thang Long City, and the diameter of the area that can be turned around is less than two hundred miles, and its destruction is imminent.

After more than three months of continuous fighting, everyone was exhausted and could not fight again.

Now that the encirclement has been completed, the next thing is to catch the turtle in the urn, so Xia Yun gave an order: "The headquarters will stick to the spot, and the troops will take turns to rest and recuperate, waiting for the next order." ”

It is not possible to rest and recuperate, because there are too many places occupied in three months, and the stay is too short, so there are still many things to be done.

For example, as in Yuanmou County and Wuding County, all the big and small people were cleaned up, the initial village transformation was completed, and the work of land distribution was carried out.

Because the climate here is very good, you can grow three to four seasons of rice a year, which is a very critical issue, and Xia Yun has to plan for her own food.

There is also a more serious problem, that is, Yaspur's Destroyer Battalion has reached the seashore and found that the enemy still has many sea ships, so the newly occupied port of Dongfeng is often bombarded by the artillery of the enemy's warships.

After a covert investigation by the Han recruits in Sangnu Village, it turned out that this was a purchased Dutch artillery, and at the same time, it was a sea ship built with reference to the Dutch Western warships, and each warship had eight guns.

These cannons have a much longer range than the red-coated cannons of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also very accurate, which is really powerful.

As soon as Xia Yun heard that it was more powerful than the red-clothed cannon, she was helpless at that time.

At this time, she had already received the news that Huang Yanying, the commander of the Western Route Army, had suffered an accident, and at the same time, she knew that the damned enemy Xiong Chu had arrived in Burma, so she hurriedly sent her own scout battalion commander Li Qing and immediately arranged for someone to report to her lord:

"Annan rebels actually have Western sea ships, and there are also Western artillery, which are more powerful than the red-coated cannons of the imperial court. Please hurry up and find a way, otherwise, you won't be able to gain a foothold in the future. ”

At the same time, because of Xia Yun's fierce shot, the middle army was completely "passive marching", and there was no battle at all, so they rushed all the way to Chiang Mai, which is the location of the Lao Propaganda Mission.

This place is the Lancang Kingdom (Laos), and the royal cities are Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai. The current king, Tsui Ti Shan, declared independence from Burma shortly after his accession to the throne and was at war with the remnants of the Taungoo dynasty in Burma.

Xiong Kaishan commanded Duan Peng and Sima Cheng's troops to fight twice in a row in Bannaxin and Beidao, and finally although they successively broke through the royal cities of Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, they were all attacked by the enemy's warships going up the river without exception, causing great losses.

The military advisor Wan Lian had no choice, and now he had to have his own warship, because the next thing was to face the sea, so he gave the orders to the eastern and central lines to "hold on to the spot and maintain the place", and then rushed to Manmo Town.

At present, it has reached the critical point of victory or defeat in the battle, life and death are in an instant, and Wan Lian needs to have one last comprehensive communication with Xiong Chu.
