From the leader of Mingjiao to the heavens

Chapter 91 Peng Yingyu asks for help

Wei Xiao occupied the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian regions. He founded twelve villages in that year, and there were three villages in Wuyi Mountain. Many orphans, beggars, bankrupt farmers, craftsmen, etc. were taken in. In total, there were nearly [-] people in the mountains, and [-] elite soldiers were recruited. He joined forces with himself to reorganize and occupy the entire territory of Fujian in one fell swoop, and then dispatched Tang He to lead [-] troops to sweep the Lingnan roads and take him down to Guangdong.

Every time he occupied a land, he confiscated the land and properties of the big landlords, especially the upper and third-class landlords among the fourth-class citizens, and then contracted them to farmers who had lost their land in the name of the government according to their household registration.He also paid for the establishment of government-run free schools, as well as various handicraft factories, and used the money and grain obtained from home raids to hire people to produce materials needed by the military and civilians.

He was doing a lot of construction here, but Peng Yingyu couldn't hold it anymore.

This uprising was jointly organized by his apprentice Zou Pusheng and Xu Shouhui. Xu Shouhui proclaimed the emperor and made Zou Pusheng his grand master. Zou Pusheng invited Peng Yingyu to help in the battle.

Xu Shouhui's main force was in Hubei, Peng Yingyu and his apprentice, Zhou Ziwang, who had failed in the uprising, led his partial division across the Yangtze River to take Jiangxi.Zhou Ziwang claimed to be the king of Zhou back then, but now he was named King of Zhou by Xu Shouhui. In the end, he was a leader. Xu Shouhui was very jealous of him. Now Zhou Ziwang and Peng Yingyu are surrounded by armed forces of various imperial courts in Jiangxi, but Xu Shouhui is only in Jiangbei. Look, do not send troops to help.

Peng Yingyu sent people to ask for help several times. The last time he spoke earnestly, full of blood and tears, and his tone was tragic and pleading. Xu Shouhui was quite moved. My master, although he has the face of Taishi Zou, he is separated from us in the end. In the future, King Zhou will gain a firm foothold in Jiangxi and compete with your majesty. Which side do you think Master Peng will stand on? Which side will they stand on? They are all people in the martial arts and usually do not respect your Majesty very much."

After hearing this, Xu Shouhui felt very polite and resolutely refused to send troops.

Monk Peng was so angry that he wanted to tear up the messenger sent by Xu Shouhui on the spot, but he had no choice but to invite Zhou Dian to go to Hangzhou to ask Wei Xiao for help.

Zhou Dian broke out of the siege and hurried to Hangzhou. The first thing he said when he saw Wei Xiao was: "Brother, old brother is here to beg you again!"

After hearing what he said, Wei Xiao immediately patted his chest and assured: "No problem! Don't worry, old brother, killing the Tartars is my lifelong wish. If it wasn't for the fact that I won a new land and my foothold is not stable, I don't need you to invite me. I would have sent troops a long time ago. Go fight!"

He asked Zhou Dian to rest and brought all the generals who led the army. In addition to Xu Da, who was specially trained, there were also apprentices such as Zhao Huanwu, Xiao Huanrui, Hu Huanfeng, and Huang Huanshuo, as well as the masters of Wudang and Emei.

Mie Shitai didn't need anyone to look for him, so he took the initiative to take the Yitian Sword and came aggressively: "Where is the Demon Sect?"

Wei Xiao hurriedly persuaded her to stop, explaining that the Wusan people are all loyal heroes, who never kill innocent people indiscriminately. They have been engaged in the anti-Yuan cause all these years, and they are on the same front as their own.

However, Shitai Jue sneered: "Let's open the door, take the main road, and walk the right way, why should we rely on those evil outsiders? Humph!" She angrily sat on the left side of the chief seat.

Zhang Sanfeng was getting old, and Wei Xiao didn't dare to work, so he found a house for Zhang Sanfeng to clean up, and was served by underage boys from Wudang.Wudang sent humility, so Shitai Shitai was the chief, Song Yuanqiao and others were behind, and the chief on the right was the apprentice of the Huan generation and the generals such as Xu Da.

Wei Xiao told everyone that he was going to send troops to Jiangxi to rescue Peng Yingyu. After hearing this, Shitai Zuie stood up and said, "Evil demons here and there, what's the benefit of saving them? Or watch the tigers here on the mountain, let them kill them both, and then wait for the rest. Kill all the Tartars! Or swept Jiangxi with a thunderous force, and clean up the Tartars and the devil!"

In fact, Wei Xiao really wanted to take over the area south of the Yangtze River, but there are some things that can be done but cannot be said: "Master, don't be impatient, Mingjiao..."

"Magic Sect!" Master Shuxie corrected too harshly.

"Yes, the Demon Sect... Although they act extreme, most of them are cruel, but they are the main force of the anti-Yuan after all. If they are gone, the Meng Yuan army will attack with all their strength, and we will be alone..." He saw Shitai Juejue If you want to speak, quickly say, "Even if we can win in the end, how many more people will we have to die? This is all our family and brothers, Huaxia children, and I should work hard to do one less death. Okay, Mrs. I have a reason for this, don't worry, I will neither let us suffer the loss of the Demon Sect, nor will I allow the Demon Sect to act recklessly on our territory in the future and harm innocent people."

Seeing that he was serious about his words, Shi Tai made two promises, so he held his breath and said nothing.

Wei Xiao personally led an army of [-] people from Hangzhou to Raozhou via Huizhou.At the same time, he asked Hua Yun to lead his [-]-seven killing battalion from Anlu to Jiujiang, and the Sanjiangmen navy marched on the river and entered Poyang Lake together.

He founded the Five Lakes Elite Soldiers, the largest of which is Poyang Lake, where there are more people than Taihu Lake, with [-] elite soldiers.

Yuan Bing wanted to concentrate his superior forces first, annihilate Peng Yingyu, and then return to the division to fight Wei Xiao. He learned that Wei Xiao took the initiative to kill him. The political affairs officer Buyan Temur, the political advisor Ali Wensha, and the marshal Han Bangyan, divided [-] troops around Poyang Lake to fight against Wei Xiao.

The two sides started a decisive battle on the east bank of Poyang Lake. In fact, there were not so many conspiracies and tricks in the real battle. The battle was about military equipment, military supplies, organizational discipline, etc. These are the most basic things. Leading by a pig, the combat power will still not be very bad. Of course, if a famous general leads it, it can exert several times the combat power.

In short, the basic situation of the army determines the lower limit, and the leadership and command determine the upper limit.

Wei Xiao admitted that he had no talent for leading troops in battle, and he could not understand the subtlety of military use after taking Yue Wumu's suicide note. The above are also given a simplified version as a manual for training and using troops.

What he can do is to prepare as many soldiers and armor as possible, more food and grass, and more high-quality soldiers, and leave the rest to capable people, even if they are not capable now, as long as they have talent, they can fight. It can be cultivated with more battles.

He has been accumulating grain since he was an elder of the Beggar Gang. At this time, it was transported in carts and ships and distributed to the army. This is also a team that he can arm tens of thousands of people in a short period of time. Pieces of leather armor, spears, iron spears, steel swords and shields, clusters of bows and arrows, all piled up like mountains.Among the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty, only the Mongolian descendants had armor and good weapons. The Semu and Han people below were increasingly poorly equipped. A considerable number of people wore single clothes and only carried a wooden spear.

The two sides fought fiercely in the east of the lake. The guard army moved from north to south, the Yuan army moved from south to north, the lake was on the west, and the mountains were on the east. Eighty-nine thousand people were divided into many groups in the hills and rivers, and shouts could be heard everywhere.

On the frontal battlefield, Wei Xiao held the Dragon Saber and led Tu Longwei to fight in person. Shutai Shitai led the Emei faction, the Seven Heroes of Wudang led the Wudang faction, and the head of the Huangshan faction, Qu Wenyan, led more than a hundred Huangshan disciples to join the enemy line.

In addition, [-] people from the Poyang Gang attacked the left side of the Yuan army. By noon, the Sanjiangmen Navy and Huayun's North Road Seven Killing Battalion also attacked at the same time. The total force of the two sides exceeded [-]!
