The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 108
Du Yu sat on the dragon chair of Yuan Yeluchun in Xijin Mansion to resume the game.

It can be said that the military operation to take back Yandi Great Wei in more than four months has achieved great success.

Originally, I thought the record was not bad, but thinking about those fierce generals in history, this result is only above average.

Looking back, in the real history, the Great Song Dynasty also took advantage of the emptiness of Liao's troops and marched [-] troops into Yanyun, and finally ended in failure. Is it because of Song Juncai?

Well, it's because of being so obsessed with military food.

The land of Yanyun has been away from the embrace of the Central Plains Dynasty for a long time. The local Han people have no feelings for the Song Dynasty court, nor the Han army of the Great Wei Dynasty.

But not many people were willing to die for the Khitans, taking their lives to harass the Wei army. On the contrary, those Shannan Han soldiers were willing to turn their guns to fight the Khitans after being captured with a little preferential treatment.

Du Yu felt that the main reason for the failure of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty in real history was that it was fought at the very beginning. Regardless of whether Yanyun Hanmin had feelings for the Central Plains Dynasty or not, who would trust a team that was improvised by [-] cavalry and [-] soldiers? The soldiers and horses were defeated by the army.

Your 3 army in the Song Dynasty can't beat more than 200 people, and you want others to support and betray the dynasty that has lived in peace for more than [-] years and turn to support you?What the hell are you kidding.

On the contrary, the Wei army has won every battle since it entered the land of Yan. Every time it conquered a land, it cleared up the local stubborn forces and expanded the living space for ordinary people.

Under the circumstances that the army neither harassed the people, but also brought them tangible benefits, how could it be possible for someone to die for the Liao State.

Therefore, wherever the Wei army went, I dare not say that it would get the sincere support of the local people, but at least they would not oppose it, and those poor people were even happy to see it succeed.

In this way, even if there are still some Khitan and Xi nobles who are stubbornly resisting, it will not be a big deal.There are three generals Ma Ling, Wu Neng, and Xu Jin in the rear, and they can lead troops to clear them at any time.

It not only guaranteed the law and order of the conquered land, but also laid a good foundation for the transfer of food and grass for the army.

Here I have to praise Jiang Zhaohe and his workshop. Du Yu provided key components and drawings, and the carriage made by Dawei Workshop solved the transportation problem.

This kind of carriage redesigned in modern time and space, a single poor horse can pull nearly a ton of supplies, and only two people need to take turns to drive the carriage.

As a result, the logistics line of the Wei army can be maintained with only a small number of auxiliary soldiers and guard troops. In addition, the army has won a lot of victories and land grabs, and has obtained a lot of supplies from the Liao Kingdom, so there has never been a problem with food and grass.

Moreover, Du Yu has the plug-ins of Tongjie Shenqin and system space, which can replenish important supplies such as salt, canned food, and medicines for marching and fighting at any time.

Except for the hard work of the Wei army, the rest of the time is still very happy, at least several times better than being a civilian husband in the Song Dynasty.

After briefly reviewing the gains and losses, Du Yu sent a message to Zhending Mansion through Shiqian's intelligence system.

The Da Song officials who were captured in Weisheng and other states before should also come in handy after being reformed. He is not at ease with those people as officials in Da Song, but there is no problem in Yanyun.

This place is far away from the Central Plains, even if they are interested in Da Song, they can't reach it, and they can't do much except help Da Wei maintain local law and order with peace of mind.

Du Yu believed that after a long time, these people would give up on Da Wei. After all, being an official there was not a job, and eating Da Song's salary was not sweeter than Da Wei's salary.

As soon as his order came, the Zhending Mansion sent those officials to the various prefectures, counties and counties in Yandi continuously, and quickly filled the gap in management.

After taking office, they followed the new method of the society, posted Anmin notices everywhere, and further implemented the laws of Wei.

Of course, after conquering a piece of land, it is not possible to win the hearts of the people in a short time, but this kind of dynasty that benefits the people will inevitably win the support of more people.

After dealing with government affairs briefly, Du Yu turned his attention to military operations.

Now that the troops of Sun An and Zhu Wu have occupied Jizhou, he decided to send troops at the same time, let the army of Jizhou attack Tanzhou, and attack Shunzhou and Guizhou himself.

The battle went very smoothly. It can be said that after Wei's army advanced to the three cities, the defenders in the cities surrendered.

One is because the defenders of the three prefectures had already been emptied by Yeluchun, and there were not many soldiers to fight, and the other was because Emperor Tianxi committed suicide and those ministers of the Northern Liao Dynasty had no reason to fight.

Not too much consumption, after two more cities.Du Yu ignored the coming army of Emperor Tianzuo, but let Sun An, Zhu Wu and others occupy the important area of ​​Gubeikou according to the plan.

He himself led the main force to wait for Yelu Yanxi at Juyongguan.

Ten days passed in a flash.

Du Yu looked at Yelu Yanxi's continuous barracks with a telescope from the top of the city of Juyongguan with a blank expression. In his opinion, there is indeed something in Liao's ability to enjoy the country in 210.

Even if he was beaten like this by the Jin people, even if Yelu Chun proclaimed the emperor and the Liao Kingdom separated, and Yelu Yanxi wandered around the Datong Mansion in Xijing, he could still collect more than 5 cavalry from the northwest border.

Du Yu even felt that in real history, if Emperor Tianzuo brought these large troops southward, he might be able to blow the pot of Song Dynasty.

Who would have thought that when the Liao Kingdom was about to perish in history, Yelu Yanxi would actually focus on the internal struggle with Yelu Chun.

But in the Water Margin world, everything is different. Now Yelu Yanxi has learned that Emperor Yeluchun of Tianxi was defeated and committed suicide, and the entire Yandi was occupied by a Wei army that suddenly appeared.

Contrary to what Du Yu thought, Yelu Yanxi not only did not feel sad when the rabbit died, but on the contrary he was very happy, and felt that Yelu Chun died cheaply and should have been executed by himself.

As for the lost land, uh, he lost even more in Jin Kingdom. If there are too many lice, don’t bite and worry if there are too many debts, he doesn’t care about it at all now.

On the contrary, the cavalry of the Liao army under his command were filled with righteous indignation, as if they wanted to swallow the Wei army alive.

Du Yu saw through the binoculars that the opponent's army was mostly light cavalry in leather armor. In fact, he really wanted the Jingsai army under his command to fight against them.

However, considering that the people of the Kingdom of Jin would approach the city soon, he endured it. After all, his army is now dominated by infantry and occupying the city, so why waste his capital.

As he had expected, the Khitans cut trees in the surrounding area and built ladders to attack the city after calling out several times.

Du Yu looked at the cavalry from the top of the city to give up their greatest advantage, and instead used their shortcomings to fight the Wei army, making him want to laugh.

Seeing that Luan Tingyu's command was determined and he easily repelled several attacks, he felt relieved.

With nothing to do, he simply set the crossing point at Juyongguan, and teleported himself to the world of Shendi and Cui Lan to live in the two-person world.

Previously, he came to the Water Margin World under the pretext of seclusion, and it took more than four months to fight the war. Du Yu felt that he was tired physically and mentally, and it was time to enjoy himself.

Of course, by the way, some of Yangzhou's "specialties" should be brought back to the Water Margin World to reward the army. Yes, the canned food eaten by the Wei army is all produced by the dock workshop.

As more and more clipper ships were built, the fishing industry in the port took off directly. If people from the Tang Dynasty came to manage it, it would be inevitable that the catch would be too much to store, and eventually rot and cause waste.

But Du Yu only put forward an idea, and the smart people in the Iron Hands Group put it into practice. After several experiments, they found that sealing it in earthen porcelain jars can also extend the shelf life of fish.

Coupled with the fact that he can buy a large amount of salt from modern time and space, workshops for salted fish and canned fish emerged as the times require, and the output is getting higher and higher.

Not only brought a lot of money to Prince Ying's mansion, but also provided him with military rations in the Water Margin World.

Of course, such a 'new invention' cannot be concealed from Empress Wu Zetian of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The ubiquitous Plum Blossom Neiwei has already sent the news back to Chang'an.

As soon as the Queen's order came, 'Yuan Qi' presented the method of making canned food, and even presented the blueprint of the flying clipper ship to please the emperor.

Wu Zetian praised him in the court, and then rewarded him with several false titles and gave him some treasures.

As for the busy people Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang have left the court to take office in Jiangzhou, the timeline has advanced to "Bloody Jiangzhou".

Du Yu didn't have much interest in this. He only wanted to make a fortune in Datang and didn't want to make trouble, as long as the Queen or him, King Ying, still had something to do.

After taking a break from his busy schedule to sow seeds in the Shendi World for more than ten days, he returned to the Water Margin World.

There are no new tricks in the siege warfare these days, no matter how the Khitan people provoke Luan Tingyu, they just stick to the city.

The Great Wei army was not in a hurry, but Yelu Yanxi was in a hurry. Without him, the people of the Kingdom of Jin had captured the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, and Emperor Tianzuo had to make a decision as soon as possible.
