Wudang Xiaodao Boy

Chapter 255
"Hehehe, if the Taoist priest wants to see it, you can come to Miaojiang anytime, anytime, anytime?" Lan Shuiyue covered her mouth and let out a silver bell-like laugh.

A look of anticipation flashed in Qingfeng's eyes, looking at Lan Shuiyue, the leader of the Miaojiang Five Immortals Sect, who was walking towards him, he pulled her very attentively to the chair next to him, and said, "Come here, sit here, Sit here and tell me in detail, tell me in detail, how to go and have it at any time."

"I said Qingfeng, can we talk about the business first?" Chen Youliang knocked on the table next to him, "We didn't invite Master Lan here to satisfy your lust."

Qingfeng waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Oh, it's okay, they're all the same, they're all the same, you have your business, I have mine, I'm not interested in such trivial things as dominating the world."

Lan Shuiyue giggled again, then turned her head to Chen Youliang and said, "Brother Chen, our Miao army has already trained the five-poison formation taught by Mr. Liu, and we are ready to go to the battlefield to be tested at any time." .

I can guarantee that it will not be a problem to deal with the cowardly Xue army because of this, and I can guarantee that none of them will be left behind. "

Chen Youliang slapped the table and said, "Okay! Then in our first battle against the Yuan Dynasty, we will take the Qi Xue army and sacrifice their heads to the flag of our Southwest League."

"Wait, wait..." Qingfeng suddenly raised his hand, and stopped him, "Why do we leave so much meat and eat the hardest bone when we come up? Just to show off our military might?

No need, how many people will die?Can we let others gnaw the bones, and we only eat the bone marrow inside? "

Chen Youliang said: "We also think so, then let me ask you, who in this world is willing to eat this hard bone? We still have to eat bone marrow? Is there such a cheap thing in the world?"

"Yes!" Qingfeng stroked his chin, a treacherous look flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? Let's hear it. If it makes sense, I will credit you!" Seeing Qingfeng's expression, Chen Youliang didn't know what he had in mind.

"Before leaving Dadu, King Ruyang was recalled to the capital by Emperor Iron Pot and seized the military power, so as an enshrinement of Ruyang Prince's Mansion, I came up with an idea for Zhao Min, which is called raising bandits to protect oneself..." Qingfeng said slowly.

"So, if we want to disclose this news to King Ruyang's opponent, Tuotuo, with his character, in order for King Ruyang not to make a comeback, he will definitely suggest that His Majesty the Emperor transfer the Qi Xue army to wipe out this bandit .

So we sat on the side and watched the tigers fight, knocking the bones and sucking the marrow? "Liu Bowen already understood Qingfeng's intention halfway through hearing it, so he took the topic and said.

"Smart!" Qingfeng clapped his hands, gave Liu Bowen a thumbs up, and said, "It's easy to be with smart people."

Liu Bowen stroked his beard and smiled, accepting all Qingfeng's compliments.

"Then this Kou... who is going to do it for you, who are you taking advantage of?" Chen Youliang asked, looking at the two foxes, one big and one small.

Qingfeng and Liu Bowen looked at each other, and said in unison: "Zhu Yuanzhang!"

In ancient Chinese history, only Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the north from the south, and it was difficult to fight from the south to the north.Why is this so?

We know that the first Northern Expedition recorded in history was Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, which was basically ineffective in terms of territorial expansion.

Soochow's Zhuge Ke's Northern Expedition also failed.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zu Ti's northern expedition failed due to bad luck and exclusion from the court.

The Huanwen Northern Expedition failed due to accidental factors.

The Northern Expedition is difficult, but the Southern Expedition is easy, which has become a difficult historical problem.

As for the Southern Song Dynasty... Hehehe.

If this was the case in ancient times, it was because horses were produced in the north and no horses were produced in the south, and the terrain in the south was easy to attack and difficult to defend, so what about the era of hot weapons?
Sun Yat-sen's Revolution of [-] successfully overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty with the help of Yuan Shikai's ambition.

If Yuan Shikai had been loyal to the Qing court, I am afraid that the [-] Revolution would not have been so easy to succeed.

The second revolutionary crusade against Yuan Shikai ended in failure.

The Northern Expedition is easy to lose, which seems to be a law in the dark of history.

Then why was Zhu Yuanzhang able to violate the routine and unify the world from south to north?
First of all, we need to clarify a point of view, the so-called from north to south or from south to north, is based on the modern dividing line between north and south "Qinling-Huaihe River".

The birthplace of Chinese civilization is in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, that is, the Central Plains in ancient times, today's Hen province.

With the vigorous growth of Chinese civilization, the Central Plains gradually eroded outwards, and the Central Plains area is also slowly expanding, but no matter how it expands, its political, economic, and cultural centers are also in the Central Plains.

Throughout the ages, there has been a saying in our country that "the one who wins the Central Plains wins the world", and the competition for the world is called "competing for the Central Plains". In this way, there will naturally be no unification from south to north.

After the Tang and Song Dynasties, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River was developed by people with greatly improved productivity. However, there are many Tu people in the south, and there are many differences in language, culture, and customs among the Tu people. Ethnic conflicts have become a major problem in unification.

Only after understanding the division of the so-called north-south unification can we truly analyze why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to become the only one among the feudal emperors who unified the world from south to north.

The first point is that the root cause of Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to unify from south to north can be traced back to the Song Dynasty.

In 1127 A.D., the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jingkang Change. Kang Wang Zhao Gou rebuilt the Southern Song Dynasty court, moved the capital twice, and finally settled the capital in Lin'an Prefecture, which is today's Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

The relocation of the capital brought a large amount of political resources and cultural heritage to the south, forming a political, economic, and cultural migration, which brought new vitality to the barren southern superstructure, rich land, and political centers. transfer.

The open economic policy of the Song Dynasty gave the South countless opportunities for development. Coupled with the fall of the North and the Central Plains, most of the development of the rebel army in the late Yuan Dynasty was concentrated in the South. Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng, the resistance of these people The army is basically located in the south. It can be said that the southward migration of the Song Dynasty paved the way for the unification from south to north.

In addition, in order to escape the war, people migrated southward on a large scale.The population of the South increased dramatically, which brought a new breakthrough to its economy.

The advanced planting technology of the northerners will be passed to the south, so this is a very big progress for the agriculture in the south.

Huang Daopo, an important person in the handicraft industry at that time, worked hard to promote advanced textile technology, and technically promoted the economic development of Jiangnan.The economy is strong, so there is enough money to raise and train soldiers.

Due to the advanced handicraft technology, planting technology, and large-scale population in the south, it has formed a strong economic foundation, which is very beneficial for Zhu Yuanzhang to lead troops to fight.

The second point is that the Yuan Dynasty, which died like a comet, laid the foundation for Zhu Yuanzhang's unification.

The Yuan Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty established by the Mongols for only 98 years. It was also the first national unified empire established after the nomads invaded the Central Plains. For the Yuan Dynasty, there are traces to follow in ancient times.

Kublai Khan believed that the Northern Wei court established by the Xianbei people was an object they could emulate and learn from. They gradually changed from nomadic to farming, and learned Confucianism, law and etiquette, so as to completely grasp the "deer" in the Central Plains.

During Kublai Khan's lifetime, this plan has been carried out in an orderly manner, and the Yuan Dynasty seems to be developing towards orthodoxy. During Kublai Khan's reign, he made quite a few adjustments to the ancient Mongolian system, and also attracted some scholars. effective.

But after Kublai Khan's death, this reform was completely deadlocked, and the upper emperor did not have Kublai Khan's tough methods.

Coupled with the Mongolian-style Kuliletai, that is, the Mongolian Parliament, its special system laid the groundwork for the demise of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the Mongolian parliament, the elders of each tribe will participate in it and put forward opinions or suggestions. Of course, the Yuan Dynasty has become a feudal dynasty and is no longer the previous tribal alliance.

However, in the political form of the upper class, after the deaths of Temujin and Kublai Khan, the elders of various tribes once again began to criticize the emperor's policies.

The stubborn ideas of the elders became the most difficult part of the Sinicization of the Yuan Dynasty. Until the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the Sinicization of the Mongols did not proceed much. On the contrary, whether Sinicization became an important factor in the internal struggle of the Yuan Dynasty.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the prime minister Tuotuo held millions of troops to suppress the rebellion, and was deprived of his status by the political struggle in a blink of an eye, which shows the fierce internal struggle in the Yuan Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty, which had serious internal problems, changed its orders overnight, and the majesty of the court was greatly damaged. In addition, the upper echelons were all ethnic minorities, and their control over the local area was relatively low.

As a result, the rebels sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, and the Yuan Dynasty was tired of dealing with many rebels, so Zhu Yuanzhang was given sufficient time to develop the policy of "accumulating food widely and becoming king slowly", so that he could stand out from the many rebels and establish his own dynasty.

I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is really a special founding emperor. He came from a low background, had to live, and was a monk, but who would have imagined that such a person would finally become the founding emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the general of the Red Scarf Army, and the conflict between the Han and Mongolian was the main conflict at that time.

In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the government was corrupt, the people were in dire straits, and peasant uprisings continued all over the place.The Red Turban Army is the most powerful one.

At the invitation of his friends, Zhu Yuanzhang joined the Red Turban Army and gradually grew up.That is to say, it was a national righteousness to oppose the rule of the Yuan Dynasty at that time, and Zhu Yuanzhang always occupied this righteousness, which was tantamount to setting the tone for his unification war.

Second, a solid economic foundation.After Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Jinling, he slowly operated in Jinling. You must know that after years of development, the south has become the economic center of our country. The economy in the south is strong, and there are fewer wars than in the north.

Zhu Yuanzhang has sufficient food and grass here, and the sufficient food and grass is to support his Northern Expedition and complete the unification.

That is to say, he occupied Jinling and continued to operate it, which gave him a stable base, the rich and prosperous Jiangnan, and allowed him to have sufficient money.

Again, the corruption of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the process of Zhu Yuanzhang's growth, he was also encircled and suppressed by the Yuan army many times. There were victories and losses, but at this time the Yuan Dynasty was already corrupt.

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang had a wide range of soldiers under his command.

Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of "building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and becoming king slowly" has gradually grown from weak to strong in troubled times.

He successively cut off Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and gradually became the overlord of the south.

There are many powerful generals under his command, such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, etc., who were all famous generals at that time. His army is all soldiers who have gone through hundreds of battles from the battlefield.

When Zhu Yuanzhang freed up his hands to start the Northern Expedition, these soldiers who fought a hundred battles were like fierce tigers out of the cage, breaking the rule of the Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves along the way.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to complete the unification from south to north was not accidental, but was determined by various factors. The combination of these factors created an emperor and a dynasty.

Therefore, Qingfeng, a lazy person who knows the direction of history, is going to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's old path, leaving Zhu Yuanzhang with nowhere to go.

And now Zhu Yuanzhang is still developing his power in his AH hometown. Without Chen Youliang's interference, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng have become the two main anti-Yuan forces entrenched in the south.

Since the relationship between the Southwest League and the Yuan Dynasty is still relatively good, the two major grain producing areas of the Yuan Dynasty, Sichuan and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, are still in the hands of the Yuan Dynasty in terms of legal principles.

Therefore, the current Qixue army has been guarding the front line of the Yangtze River, ready to destroy the two forces of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng at any time. As everyone knows, the Southwest League has now set their minds on them.

The equipment cut off the last powerful arm of the Yuan Dynasty, making preparations for dominating the world in the future.

Under the command of King Ruyang, the cowardly Xue army was orderly destroying the rebel army, but unfortunately, just when they were about to succeed, King Ruyang was called back.

Qi Xuejun can only stop now and wait for the new commander.

As long as the new commander arrives, this most sophisticated killing machine in the Yuan Dynasty will continue to rotate, and continue to slaughter all praying mantises that stand in their way.

And this time they have to deal with the Mingjiao Zhu Yuanzhang's department gathered in AH.

The current Zhu Yuanzhang can be regarded as a strong soldier and a strong horse. Most of the Mingjiao forces gathered here are basically controlled by him, openly or secretly.

It has to be said that as the founding emperor of the previous life, Zhu Yuanzhang still has two brushes. With the help of Li Shanchang's Confucian children, he has developed his career to a great extent.

After the relationship between Mingjiao and the six major sects eased, the voices of disciples of the six major sects even appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's team.

When he learned that Qi Xuejun's next target was himself, Zhu Yuanzhang was both excited and nervous.

What's exciting is that if I can defeat the Qi Xuejun, then I will have more confidence in turning back to Mingjiao and establishing my own school in the future.

The nervous thing is, can I really defeat the behemoth Qi Xuejun?

With the passage of time, the war between Xue Jun and Zhu Yuanzhang was on the verge of breaking out.

But neither of the two parties knew that there was another pair of eyes watching their movements all the time. The owner of this pair of eyes was whispering while drinking: "Fight! Fight, I want to see the blood flow Into a river!"
