The Red House starts from Liaodong

"Follow the order to suppress the bandits."

Zhou Chuyuan snorted coldly.

This kind of nonsense can only fool fools. The people below are easy to be deceived, but they cannot deceive him.

"Have you seen their team?"

Hearing the questioning, several scouts were downcast.

See you.

Not only did they meet, the other party also generously let them go and see.

"The horses are fat, the weapons are excellent, the supplies are complete, the artillery is sharp, the armor is bright, the advance and retreat are controlled, and the military orders are consistent."

Tanshao's words were short, but every sentence highlighted the key points.

Zhou Chuyuan looked sad.

He is aware of many things, but he is powerless to do anything about them.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou were brave, but they shed so much blood that there was no blood to shed.

for decades.

South and North.

Not to mention, nearly 20 years ago in the Battle of Saerhu, more than [-] elite soldiers were wiped out, the Battle of Shenyang, the Battle of Liaoyang, the Battle of Jinzhou...

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were consumed in Liaodong, and it can be said that every military household in various places wears filial piety.

It was not easy to calm down the barbarians, and the domestic wars continued.

One team disappears today, and one team disappears tomorrow.

Day after day, year after year.

Ren Dazhou has millions of military households across the country, and he can't afford such consumption.

Soldiers are no longer willing to fight.

The tens of thousands of elite soldiers led by King Zhongshun are already the last brave fighters in the country. In the entire Laishan camp, only recruits and old and weak are left.

"Ugh."

The matter of my loyalty to the emperor has been deeply favored by the country for generations.

Zhou Chuyuan had mixed feelings in his heart.

"My God."

Hearing the coach's inexplicable scolding, although the few scouts didn't know his intentions, they deeply believed in the coach's scolding God.

Natural disasters are not uncommon.

The natural disasters that have been happening for decades, that's the scorpion's poop.

Natural disasters lead to food shortages, leaving the army short of supplies, unable to deal with everything freely, and can only choose a quick solution.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

The more mistakes they make, the more military households are called, and so repeatedly, the common people cannot rest and recuperate, and their savings are exhausted.

The country cannot provide disaster relief, but needs to ask for it.

Since then.

"Go down and be careful."

Zhou Chuyuan waved his hand distractedly.

The ambitions of the Jinjiang army can no longer be hidden. It was quietly eroding Penglai years ago, and it had already mobilized troops on a large scale half a month ago.

The only ones who can be called in Shandong are themselves, Wu Zhaoyuan and Zuo Lixian.

Not to mention that Tianjin's Zuo Lixian is a cunning old man, even Wu Zhaoyuan's intentions, even Zhou Chuyuan couldn't figure it out.

What is this person thinking?
Could it be that he and Jin Jiangjun have communicated with each other?
Jin Jiangjun sent someone to contact him, and it was impossible not to contact him, why didn't he send someone to discuss with him?

All kinds of suspicion made Zhou Chuyuan dare not act rashly.

And the court.

The court can no longer count on it.

At this time, Zhou Chuyuan didn't know that Shanhaiguan had also dispatched nearly [-] soldiers, and the Tianjin camp did not resist at all, and directly chose to surrender.

……

After the new year, I didn't feel the taste of the new year, and I was still short of food and clothing. The few scouts were still elite, even they were the same, not to mention the ordinary sergeants in the battalion.

After a few months, how can there be any military spirit.

"If I say that the Jinjiang army is here, it's better to join them directly, or go back to their respective homes and reunite with the wives, mothers and children."

"I have heard a message."

A scout said carelessly.

Normally, I wouldn't dare to say such a thing, because being betrayed would lead to a felony of beheading.

Well now.

People are flustered, who cares about whom.

I no longer have any scruples about speaking, and now I dare to say what I usually dare not say.

"The food and grass in the camp is only enough for half a month. Our commander-in-chief has sent people to urge him several times, but there is nothing to say."

"Can you even find out about this?"

the companion questioned.

"whispering sound."

The man didn't think so.

"It's not so cryptic. The canal has been interrupted for half a year. Where can there be food? The government doesn't keep any grains. How can they distribute military food?"

"The imperial court can't count on it. Can food still fall from the sky?"

What I said was indeed the truth. As long as you think about it, you can understand the current situation.

The natural disasters and wars in the north for many years have lost control in various places. How can the government use it to collect food?

Food and supplies can only be counted on the relatively stable south.

However, the Grand Canal was interrupted, so that food from the south could not be transported to the north.

In the current situation in the north, it is difficult for the common people to support themselves, where there is surplus food to search for.

You don't have to hit big players.

The big households that can be beaten have already been beaten by the refugee army.

The remaining big families have already joined the refugee army and become their own people, contributing their strength to the bandits.

"Then what shall we do?"

Someone worried.

"Eating grass."

"There is no need to eat grass, but you can still eat soil."

"Bragging you, don't eat dirt to kill yourself, how miserable are people who eat dirt to death."

If you eat soil, you should also eat Guanyin soil.

The soil under the feet of the Bodhisattva.

Because everyone knows that eating dirt will kill you, but there is really nothing to eat. When you die of starvation, you pin your hopes on gods and Buddhas.

Since it is the soil under the Bodhisattva's feet, the merciful and merciful gods and Buddhas should bless the suffering believers.

pity.

Whoever eats the dirt dies.

When he died, the tragedy was terrifying.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Bodhisattvas, the common people are also humble dogs.

Just like the people of later generations, on the prairie, they watched hyenas with relish and ruthlessly ate their prey alive.

And people never save those cattle and sheep who watched themselves being eaten bite by bite.

natural law.

People are just a part of it.

Protecting the laws of nature is the benevolence that bodhisattvas should do.

"I don't want to die, and I don't want my family to starve to death."

"If there is no food, I will take my family and join the Jinjiang Army."

"It's not like you."

The people next to him joked.

"If you didn't stay in Liaodong back then, you might as well have taken refuge with Duke Bao at that time. How could you have fallen here?"

"You do not understand."

The man said something and didn't speak again.

At that time in Liaodong, we were facing barbarians, so the situation was of course different.

They couldn't beat them, so they chose to flee back to the country, and they didn't want to stay in the hands of the barbarians to do things.

There are many people like him.

There were so many defeated soldiers, some fled to the west of Liaoning, some joined the Jinzhou Army at that time, and some fell into the hands of the barbarians before they could escape.

same.

There are also a small number of soldiers or civilians who fled back to Shandong across the sea.

Going around, after all, he is a veteran, and he was conscripted into the Laishan camp and became a night not accepted.

Barbarians are alien races.

Even if you die, you will not surrender, and you will definitely die.

Jin Jiangjun is different.

He has no burden in his mind to join the Jinjiang Army.

Live upright.

Even if you fail, it's nothing.

pity.

He didn't know Duke Bao at the time, otherwise he would have joined the Jinzhou Army long ago.

Ordinary soldiers, where he has so many choices, can only go with the flow, there is no extra choice.

But today.

He has a choice again.

former yuan.

Let the Han people understand what it means to be an inferior person of the whole family.

barbarians.

Let the Han people in Liaodong know about shaving their hair and making clothes easier.

In terms of fierce resistance, the Han people in Liaodong are far stronger than the Han people in China, because the Han people in China don't know how to shave their hair and make clothes easier.

The common people also understand the truth.

Just like in history.

The 400 million Liaodong Han people resisted fiercely, but the barbarians did not regard the Han people as human beings, and were eventually slaughtered.

Only tens of thousands of Han army flags and their families remained.

History will not be forgotten, the blood of 400 million Han Chinese should not be planted on their heads in the name of non-resistance.

What's more, the vast majority of Liaodong Han people who resisted to the last drop of blood should not be discredited because of a few traitors.

They die and perish.

There are few historical records.

But their praises and tears will always be the pride of the Han people, the ancestors that the Han people can be proud of.

Han Chinese were never slaves.

The envoys of the Jinjiang army went to various places in Shandong.

They are of the same blood, Duke Bao has the reputation of benevolence, and Jinjiang Town is strong, while Shandong is weak.

Just like the former Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to the Northern Expedition.

As long as there is righteousness, there will be no fierce resistance, and all regions will respond and surrender, and the country will be unified in a short period of time.

But the court lost the hearts of the people, and righteousness appeared.

Wendeng, Rongcheng, Haiyang, Zhaoyuan, Huangxian...

The cities opened their cities and surrendered.

Without any effort, the third town controlled the entire Terengganu, leaving only Lacey in the territory.

"Come down."

General Wu Zhaoyuan said helplessly.

The Laishan camp next door has not sent anyone to contact him whether it is resisting or surrendering.

Even if they united together, they couldn't fight against the Jin Jiang army, not to mention that he didn't know what the neighbors wanted.

The fall of various places made Wu Zhaoyuan lose confidence.

The imperial court's food supply could not be counted on, and the fall of all parts of Dengzhou also deprived the Laixi Camp of its limited supplies.

People in the army were scattered, and there was nothing he could do.

"Your Majesty."

Looking north and cupping his hands, Wu Zhaoyuan knelt down and wept bitterly on the ground.

The news of the surrender of the Laixi camp came, and within half a day, the Laishan camp also took the initiative to send someone to contact the Jinjiang army to surrender.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiu would not miss the opportunity, and directly ordered the vanguard Zhang Bo to enter the Laizhou government.

Only a small battalion is needed, hundreds or even dozens of people.

Counties and towns across Laizhou Prefecture opened their doors to welcome people in.

In just half a month, without bloodshed, the Jinjiang army occupied more than half of the Shandong Peninsula, opening up the domestic situation.

Simultaneously.

Shanhaiguan sent [-] soldiers to the south, recruited and surrendered the Tianjin camp, occupied the eastern part of Gyeonggi, and opened up communication with the Jinjiang army.

The two sides are linked together.

Beijing.

People's hearts are still heavy, and no one wants to be the first to touch it.

Jin Jiang's army also carried the banner of Zhou's army.

……

The Zhou army in Henan was basically wiped out. From the state capital to the countryside, the rule of the Great Zhou has been wiped out.

Up north or down south.

Leaders of the rebel army, discuss seriously.

At this time, they did not know the movements of the Jin Jiang army.

"In the current dog court, there are only two parties that can threaten us. One is Zuo Qin who retreats to Tongguan, and the other is Cheng Zhixin who guards Xiangyang."

"If we attack Tongguan, Cheng Zhixin's department will not sit still and wait for death. They will definitely take the opportunity to go north to Henan and pose a serious threat to our rear."

Yu Youpeng, a general in the new king's army, analyzed it to everyone.

It is also the old tradition of the new king dragon in the former army.

Whenever there is a major decision, everyone will be convened to discuss and come up with a solution.

"Take Tongguan and return to Shaanxi? What are you doing when you return to your hometown? Do you want to return home rich and honored?"

Someone chuckled lightly.

"It's easy to go back to Shaanxi with hundreds of thousands of troops, but what to do with the food, wouldn't it just sit and wait to die of starvation?"

Shaanxi is the area with the worst natural and man-made disasters, and its destructive power is astonishing.

The locals can't even support themselves, and there will be hundreds of thousands more mouths when they go back, so everyone is really waiting to eat loess to start the feast.

"Be careful with your tone of voice."

Long said in a low voice.

In the past, when the old brothers were around, they would talk freely and no one would laugh at anyone.

Now our team has expanded, and the people have become more complicated.

Discuss well, must look down on this, look down on which, yin and yang strange, smoky atmosphere.

Seeing that the new king was angry, Wang Yangzu came out to save the scene.

Old brother new brother.

They, the leaders of the rest of the refugee army, were more or less dissatisfied.

To say that the new king is stingy, not so much, it is interesting enough for them.

But the atmosphere is not going anywhere.

I am always afraid that they will grab the territory and expand their troops at will.

Feel free to be right or wrong.

Now that the new king is powerful and has the potential to dominate the world, Wang Yangzu is unwilling to make extra troubles, and takes the initiative to make up for the differences between the two parties.

"We should call Cheng Zhixin first, everyone please listen to our opinions, if there is something wrong, let's discuss it."

Not many old thieves from Shaanxi have survived to this day.

In the new king's army, Buweitian and Wang Yangzu are the two most famous old thieves, and their strength is not weak.

Everyone is emotional and reasonable, and will not despise Wang Yangzu.

"In the fight against Tongguan, Cheng Zhixin will definitely support him, but in the fight against Cheng Zhixin, the troops led by Zuo Qin have just been defeated from Henan."

In order, Xin Wanglong nodded secretly.

As expected of an old thief who has been around until today, he really has a trick, he already understood what Wang Yangzu said next.

as predicted.

"Zuoqin's men and horses are seriously injured, and they need a period of rest to replenish soldiers, horses, equipment, and food and salaries. It is impossible to send troops in a short period of time."

"So it is not easy to fight Tongguan. The opponent has reinforcements. It is not easy to fight Xiangyang, but the opponent has no reinforcements."

Xin Wanglong interrupted Wang Yangzu with a smile.

People's eyes are all looking at the dragon.

Wang Yangzu was stunned for a moment, but soon recovered.

"Henan is not in a good situation now, and there are also years of famines. The big households from all over the country are sending people and food to join us. We can't kill them all."

"Henan is our territory. In order to protect Henan, we cannot stay here. There is no food in Shaanxi, only Huguang has food."

"Huguang is familiar with the world, and it is a first-class good place."

"This place can't be left to Cheng Zhixin, we also watched this kid grow up."

With only three words, Xin Wanglong pushed Cheng Zhixin under him, and established a condescending mentality in the hearts of everyone.

In order to fight against Cheng Zhixin in the future, he dispelled the psychological factors of fear and boosted morale in disguise.

A successful person must have his strengths.

Xin Wanglong was in front, although his words were vulgar, but because of this, he underestimated him, but Yelang was arrogant and couldn't see the difference.

"In a few years of hard work, from an ordinary guerrilla general to today's Marquis, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is amazing."

Speaking of this, Long Zaiqian was even more jealous.

Why did Cheng Zhixin have hundreds of thousands of troops?

Don't you just rely on Huguang?

You can raise soldiers with food, and you can raise as many soldiers with as much food, so Huguang can be prosperous.

If he can win Huguang, he will never be short of food again.

Relying on the power of Huguang in Henan, then return to Shanxi, then take Shaanxi again, and then Shandong, with the entire Central Plains in hand, the general trend is set, and sooner or later the mountains and rivers will be unified.

Millions of soldiers are at your fingertips.

Just ask.

Who in the world can stop it.
