Red waist breaking line

Chapter 626

Shen Zhaoxi was killed by Yunzhen of the Yuanzheng Empire, and his son-in-law Yang Yizhao was taken as a hostage. Once the two news spread, it immediately aroused the outrage of the whole country. No matter the old or the young, they all fought against the Yuanzheng Empire for their lives and never ceased to die.

Amid public outrage, Xiao Yezi, the "son of the Dragon God" and the red-waisted princess, officially changed her name to the god Hongye.At the enthronement ceremony, Hongye changed the Lingyuejiao to the Red Waisted Army, announcing that the Lingyue Dynasty would take the Yuanzheng Empire as the primary enemy and officially entered the stage of war preparation.

In the next two months, with the assistance of Yunxi, Long Jingyi, Mu Tong and others, Hongye put the new policy into practice completely.Under the call of the "Son of the Dragon God", the entire Lingyue Dynasty worked together from top to bottom, led by Xiao Yunxi, and quickly completed a series of tasks such as recruiting troops, mansioning soldiers, farming, public debt, army consolidation, casting, grain collection, and shipbuilding. The task made the combat power of the Lingyue Dynasty expand like never before.In several small-scale long-distance and short-range attacks and military exercises, the Lingyue Dynasty's reorganization army became famous all over the world.All of a sudden, neighboring countries came to vote one after another, contributing to the rising star of the Southwest, pushing her to officially become the leading power and overlord in the Southwest.

Naturally, the Yuanzheng Empire would not stand idly by. In order to suppress the malicious expansion of this "small frontier country", it resolutely implemented an economic blockade, completely blocking the main trade route between the Lingyue Dynasty and the Central Plains.The new emperor of the Yuanzheng Empire, Yun Huan, is very confident, boasting that as long as the blockade is closed for a month, the internal supply system of the Lingyue Dynasty will collapse without a fight.But he didn't expect that Hongye found another way, sending scouts across the border, and encouraging border businessmen to surrender with a high rate.At the same time, Hongye ordered the establishment of shelters on the borders of the border, stipulating that all the former Zhaoyin refugees in the border areas, as long as they can bring the designated corresponding materials with them, regardless of the amount, they can obtain the permanent right of asylum of the Lingyue Dynasty.

Residents in the frontier hated the Yuanzheng Empire for burning, killing and looting. Now that they heard that the Lingyue Dynasty opened the country to welcome guests, they brought their families to join them as if they had found a treasure.In fact, how much can these refugees bring?Nothing more than belongings.But what is most expensive in the years of war is not money or food, but the people.As long as there are people and there are enough people, there will be more production capacity and more tax revenue. In the long run, we will be self-sufficient.

According to legend, the Lingyue Dynasty won an unborn benevolent monarch, and countless people began to move south.With the loss of people, why is the Yuanzheng Empire not in a hurry?He hurriedly sent the king's army to hunt down and exterminate them in an attempt to suppress the migration of the people.But the harder he suppressed, the faster the people will be lost.In the end, it developed into a great migration of ethnic groups that was rarely seen in history.

The Yuanzheng Empire regretted it too much, and hurriedly implemented benevolent policies in an attempt to restore the hearts of the people.However, the Yuanzheng Empire committed too many crimes on weekdays, and it was too late to repent. In addition, more than half of the Tatar nobles still misplaced their positions and ran amok, which made the rare benevolent government of the Yuanzheng Empire quickly aborted and became a Chinese and foreign country. a laughing stock of.

In addition, large-scale peasant uprisings broke out one after another in the area ruled by the Yuanzheng Empire.The Chu Tianmeng, led by General Yeli Li Li and Li Rao's son Li Qian, led countless local rebels and took the lead in capturing two important cities in the southern coastal area.Xiao Yunxi's former subordinates Jiang Cheng, Qin Zhuji and others also raised troops in the north of the river to respond. In just a few days, they captured three cities in the upper reaches of the river, and their sphere of influence was close to the Jiangling area.With these two restraints, the Yuanzheng Empire could not devote all its energy to the political confrontation with the Lingyue Dynasty. It could only dispatch the Flying Tiger Battalion to the east, and united with the local army to suppress Li Li, Li Qian, Jiang Cheng and Qin. The rebel army who built the machine.However, because the leader of the Flying Tiger Camp, Borjit Yunzhen, led the hostage Yang Yizhao to trek ahead of time to Yandu, the capital of the Yuanzheng Empire, only the generals remained in the camp.The generals had no leader, and as soon as they received the order, they rushed out of the camp, leaving the rear empty, and were suddenly attacked by the Lingyue Dynasty.Long Heng and Mu Tong led Ren Qingquan's former army to severely damage the rear army of the Feihu Camp. They won the first battle and snatched a large amount of supplies to return to the court. This gave another huge boost to the Lingyue Dynasty and broke the myth that the Feihu Camp was invincible.

At the same time, Ye Lingxiao, the female general of the Red Waisted Army, led the first batch of supplies to Li Qian's sphere of influence, opening up the supply route between the Lingyue Dynasty and the southern coast.So far, the Yuanzheng Empire's border blockade against the Lingyue Dynasty has officially ended in failure.

Under the raging war, it has come to mid-October in a blink of an eye.Li Qian, Jiang Cheng, and Qin Zhuji each led their armies north and south, focusing on launching the city recovery campaign against the old location of the Tianwang Gang, that is, around Dongting Lake, and fought fiercely with Feihuying in the middle of the Dajiang River.On the other hand, Li Li led his troops to the southeast alone, preemptively restraining Yunzhen's reinforcements from Lanjing City, and proposed to kill Yunzhen with his own hands to avenge the dead brothers Ren Qingquan, Cheng Che, Shen Yelai, Gao Lan and others.

At the end of October, the Red Waist leader ordered Feng Long Jingyi to stay in the country and take full power to act as the representative of the government. Then he built a battle platform and appointed him as a general. He proclaimed himself the Red Waist General. Go east along the great river on a warship, and at the same time appoint Long Heng and Mu Tong as the left and right generals, each leading the army and marching into Yuanzheng territory.The Lingyue Dynasty raised troops on three fronts, raised the banner of "as soon as the red waist comes out of the world, there is nothing in the world", and officially launched the war of conquest against the Yuanzheng Empire.

For a time, the world was boiling, and everyone regarded the red-waisted army as the army of justice, and everyone responded wherever they went. Countless people spontaneously joined the army, and vigorously followed the red-waisted leader to "defeat tyrants and follow the way of heaven".The Yuanzheng Empire issued a decree that the common people were strictly prohibited from funding to join the Red Waist Army. Even if it was mentioned, they would be punished with death. Therefore, the common people secretly gave the Red Waist Army many nicknames.Because the red-waisted soldiers are all wearing flame-like red clothes, they look like wildfire from a distance, so people also call the red-waisted soldiers the Flame Sect and the Red Lotus Sect.

Due to the far-reaching influence of the Huairou policy in the early stage, coupled with the containment and assistance of Jiang Cheng, Qin Zhuji, Li Qian and others, the red-waisted army was like a broken bamboo all the way, and they captured Luzhou, Tongzhou, Qianzhou and other cities around the big river without bloodshed. Down the river, all the way to Yuezhou City on the east side of Dongting Lake.

Yuezhou City was the military center and economic hub of the former Zhaoyin Dynasty, and played an important role that cannot be ignored in the entire strategic map.The Yuanzheng Empire naturally knew the benefits and disadvantages of this place, and sent Qingmei, the former director of Yuezhou City, and General Qiu Yishui to guard the city early.

As the former Heavenly King Gang East Heavenly King and former owner of Yuezhou City, Ren Qingmei knows Yuezhou City well.Yuezhou City was surrounded by mountains and rivers, Ren Qingmei knew that if the red-waisted army wanted to take the city quickly, they could only attack by water.Therefore, as soon as she arrived in the city, she immediately ordered people to plunder the surrounding resources, and built countless giant ships to gather in Dongting Lake to wait for work. She must first dampen the spirit of the red waist army.
