Chapter 145: Picturesque Rivers and Mountains (11)
Shilongguan reported victory, Shunzhou reported victory, and Langxian reported victory!
Three consecutive victories were reported to Chengdu. Zhu Yunwen, who had long been unable to hold back, could finally find Geng Bingwen and talk about the matter of going south.
Before summoning a huge sand table made by many Laoshan people in Yunnan, Geng Bingwen was meticulously carrying out his mission.
The emperor was going south to Kunming. Although at present, Zhu Di had achieved great results in Annan and was likely to involve all the energy of Laos and Siam, but he had to ensure that everything was foolproof.
"There are still 40,000 elite soldiers in Yunnan. These days, 100,000 soldiers from Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangxi have been transferred, and a total of nearly 400,000 people have moved south."
This was the first time Geng Bingwen commanded such a large number of major battles, which was considered to be a benefit from Zhu Yunwen's glory.
As a general, commanding a million troops is the most glory of his career. Although Geng Bingwen does not have millions, he is still close to fifty years old. His name is enough to be left in his military history.
During the Ming Dynasty, only two war gods were commanding such a large number of troops: Li Jinglong and Zhu Qizhen.
"Our army divided into three groups, walking the thousands of miles of dense forests and entering the Honghe Plain into Annan, and the other route went south along the Lancang River and headed straight into Lu Prabang, attacking the capital of the Liao people, forcing them to withdraw. The other route went to Luchuan and entered Siam, attacking Chiang Mai, and attacking the capital of Siam, Ayutthaya."
Is the Ming Dynasty going to swallow the Indochina Peninsula?
This is naturally impossible. The Ming Dynasty did not have that big appetite, and Zhu Yunwen did not have that big appetite either.
Although Laos has a sparse population and extremely poor cohesion, its national form is complex. Laos, the so-called Lancang Kingdom, is a United Kingdom composed of countless mafia. The destruction of their national regime is not a devastating blow to them. After occupying it, the Ming Dynasty had to face countless mafia attacks.
Siam is the opposite. Siam is the general term for the country on this land by the Ming Dynasty. The actual name of the country is the Ayutthaya Dynasty. Just like the land of China, no matter how the dynasties change, it is a principle for them to be collectively called the Central Plains or the Celestial Dynasty.
The Ayutaya Dynasty was a purely-bred Buddhist culture country. Regardless of how severe the class contradictions within others were, how strict the hierarchy was, and how much resistance the lower class was, the Ming Dynasty wanted to destroy Siam unless the race was destroyed.
Because other countries already have independent culture, and culture naturally has centripetal cohesion. If you want to swallow such a country, you will not be able to do it in this era of productivity.
This is the main reason why Zhu Yunwen came to the southwest in person.
He came to negotiate with the countries of Central and Southern China. War is always just a continuation of political means.
Fight first, beat it and then talk!
"I moved to Kunming, and it will definitely not work if I don't fight."
Zhu Yunwen glanced at the huge sand table and smiled: "Elder General lets go of command, I will never interfere. When the old general reports victory, it will be the time for me to come forward."
Geng Bingwen was relieved when he heard Zhu Yunwen's words. What he feared most was that once Zhu Yunwen arrived in Kunming, he would be itchy and learn from the God of War in the Gorgeous River and play a scene of personally commanding the battle. That would really kill him.
As long as the emperor is willing to stay in Kunming honestly and the three Ming troops will launch together, they will definitely contain the threat of the troops of these countries to their respective homes as soon as possible, using attack instead of defense, and ensuring the absolute safety of the Kunming Saint. At that time, the protection of the 50,000 central troops will be foolproof. If something really happens, the emperor can also fight Yunnan and return to Sichuan at any time, and return to Nanjing.
"The old general is old, so don't go to this line. Let's both agree to stay in Kunming first."
Zhu Yunwen held two tea bowls and handed them to Geng Bingwen one, excitedly with his hair and beard.
"The old general is in charge of the central command. Let the credit for destroying the city and setting up the village for them."
Zhu Yunwen's fingers were slashed, and more than a dozen generals in the government office who followed the army to fight from Nanjing were all excited.
"I ask for an order to go to war."
The hands are fast, but the hands are slow.
The first person to stand up was He Fu, the commander of Sichuan.
Since Zhu Yunwen made an appointment with the suburbs of the city that day, He Fu has long forgotten his grievances over the years. As soon as he smelled the sound of the golden swords of war, he stood up first.
"Please allow your Majesty and Changxing Houen to be approved."
Zhu Yunwen did not respond, but looked at Geng Bingwen and said, "This is not the only thing I have to say. You have to find Changxing Hou when choosing a general."
Geng Bingwen hurriedly said that he did not dare and pondered for a moment when he looked at He Fuqiji.
"Since that's the case, General He will lead the army and be responsible for the battle in Luchuan's conquest of Siam. I will allocate you 100,000 troops."
He Fu was overjoyed and said excitedly: "The last general will take the order."
"good."
Geng Bingwen naturally knew what He Fu's ability. He was at ease with the responsibilities he handed over to He Fu. He chose the main general all the way, and Geng Bingwen swept over a group of martial arts awards and called them up.
"Gu Cheng,"
"The last one will be here!"
The commander of the Northern Army Governor's Office, the assistant commander Gu Cheng took a step forward, bowed his fists and responded excitedly.
"With the main general of Ningzhong, Gu Cheng, deputy, led 100,000 troops to the south along the Lancang River and headed towards Luang Prabang."
"Receive the order!"
"Liu Zhen, Chen Jun."
As the sound fell, two more generals were excited to step out and bowed to wait for their orders.
"Liu Zhen is the leader, Chen Jun is the deputy, and leads 100,000 troops into Annan and obeys the command of the King of Yan."
"Receive the order!"
"I and other generals followed me to lead the central army to defend the throne's southern tour of Kunming."
In the Mingtang, the generals who received their own responsibilities were very excited, and even those who did not get the opportunity to go to the battle naturally did not dare to say much.
"report a success!"
Outside the name, there was a guard in the Jinyiwei who suddenly ran into a soldier, holding a military newspaper in his hand and shouted excitedly, the voice straight to the name, which made Zhu Yunwen and others quiet down.
Shuangxi hurriedly stepped out and took the military report back and was about to submit it to Zhu Yunwen, but the latter waved to refuse.
"Since it's a good news, please read it and make everyone happy."
Shuangxiu said, and opened the fire paint to show the letter.
"I am the King of Yan and ask my emperor, the saint, Jin'an.
I was ordered by the emperor to leave the four provinces of Jing'an, Gui, Yunnan, Sichuan and Guizhou, and pacify the military affairs of Liao, Siam, and Annan. At that time, when the Liao Dynasty, Siam, entered the territory of Annan to raise troops, he had no choice but to go south to quell the rebellion in order to ensure peace in the border areas.
On April 13, 2018, the third year of Jianwen, our army arrived in Henei City and met the Lao army. He then sent Hou Sheng from Xiping to fight against the enemy.
Hou Sheng of Xiping was brave in fighting and personally came to the battle. With the inspiration, our Ming Dynasty soldiers all took the lead. Therefore, they defeated the Liao Kingdom and the city of Henei, and killed 27,000 prisoners, surrendered 40,000 prisoners, and defeated the people and fled west for more than 50 miles. Our army then entered the city of Henei. King An of Chen Yue, the general Jian Dingxian City, surrendered, and used his country's edict to entrust the country.
I am reminded that Siam and Laos will meet in Hanoi. Please let Your Majesty go, and I will lead the army to defend Hanoi and drag the enemy. Nowadays, the barbarian countries do not know that Your Majesty will personally fight. In this way, Your Majesty will have plenty of time to defeat the two countries and conquer the southwest affairs in one battle.
Long live my emperor! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
Another big victory!
The name was filled with joy, and everyone congratulated Zhu Yunwen on his death.
Zhu Yunwen was also very happy. He shouted a few times with his hands in his arms, and then looked at Geng Bingwen: "Elder General, it's not appropriate to send troops early."
On April 13th, Zhu Di's good news is now on the second day of May. I think Siam and Laos have already joined forces, so I don't know what the battle will be like in Hanoi City.
"Um."
Geng Bingwen stepped forward and shouted, "Start up the army quickly and immediately set off the camp."
Everyone took the order and went to the scene. Shuangxi hurriedly took off the armor and put it on Zhu Yunwen.
"When the three armies set off their camps, the central army will move again."
Geng Bingwen reminded him, and Zhu Yunwen agreed with a smile. Although he wanted to drag the back, Zhu Yunwen was still very excited.
When we arrived in Kunming, the matter of the imperial commander in person was to take a look. The next step was to talk about life in Siam and Laos.
