The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 554: Brothers who eat from one pot are so fierce

Cochin.

Chang'an Prefecture.

Chen Jianding, the king of Nanjun, was from the royal family of the previous dynasty. He was moved from the capital Thanglong to Chang'an Prefecture by Li Thief and his son, and was placed under the nose of Qinghua Mansion.

Although the Li thieves and his son wanted to kill the Chen Dynasty royal family in one fell swoop, the Chen family had immigrated to Cochin from Fujian for hundreds of years and had deep roots in Cochin.

He also resisted the Yuan Dynasty's army and obtained concessions for more than a hundred years. The Li thieves and his son were powerless and slaughtered only the direct lineage of the clan.

When the Ming army captured the Li thieves and their sons, squires from all over the country led their troops to follow, including a large number of the Chen royal family.

Many people have meritorious service and cooperate with the Ming army.

"I have two thousand elites."

Chen Zhaoji said directly.

"Two thousand is not enough to accomplish anything." Chen Jianding shook his head.

"While the civil unrest is still pending, we still have a chance. When the Ming army quells the civil unrest, we may not be able to stand alone."

If it weren't for the fact that his bloodline was too far away and his reputation was too low, Chen Zhaoji would have done it himself.

However, he was self-aware and was not dazzled by ambition. He knew that he had to use Chen Jianding's name.

After all, Chen Jianding was the former king of Nanjun, and his prestige and reputation were beyond his comparison.

With many parties coming forward, Chen Zhaoji believes that he can gain the support of many people.

Chen Jianding said nothing.

"I agree or disagree, please tell me something." Chen Zhaoji said impatiently.

"As long as our Chen Dynasty can be restored, how can I object?"

Chen Jianding smiled helplessly.

He only has fame, and Chen Zhaoji controls the army. Even if he really defeats the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that he will not have a good life.

However, the ancestral foundation cannot be lost in their generation.

Chen Jianding's expression became firm.

It is human nature to be afraid of death.

But when people have their own beliefs, then death is no longer scary.

The two hit it off.

Since the Ming army entered Jiaozhi, Chen Zhaoji, who had always been obedient and helpful, suddenly led the army to rebel, leaving the Ming army unprepared.

He proclaimed himself emperor in Modu, Chang'an Prefecture.

Huazhou next door had been waiting for a long time. After hearing about it, Deng Xi, the magistrate of Huazhou, led his troops to respond and echoed the crowd.

Day two.

The nearby Ming army arrived and a battle broke out between the two sides. The rebels were defeated in one day and were completely routed.

However, the Ming army that arrived was small in number and failed to capture Chen Jianding.

After escaping, Chen Jianding and Chen Zhaoji wanted to capture Pingtan and open the way south, but they were defeated by hundreds of local Ming troops.

"The combat effectiveness is also too poor."

In Jiaozhou Mansion, Zhu Di couldn't help but show concern after hearing the battle report.

"As long as they are alive, I believe many people will place bets." Huang Fu was full of confidence. The plan to lure the snake out of the hole was proposed by him and Yang Rong.

"Before, we were worried about our own casualties. Now, we are worried about the other party's defeat being too outrageous, which has damaged some people's confidence."

Zhang Fu couldn't laugh or cry.

This kind of nerve-wracking battle is really embarrassing, for fear of not being able to control the heat. That is to say, the Ming army's morale and combat effectiveness are now high, which gives them the confidence.

Otherwise, you would never dare to do this.

The saint brought out the spirit back then. Regardless of the enemy's strength, a lion would fight a rabbit with all his strength.

"alright."

Zhu Di shook his sleeves.

He had stayed in Jiaozhi for too long. Even he wanted to go home, let alone the soldiers below.

Such morale is extremely detrimental to the army.

He used to think that there was no problem in Jiaozhi, but Yang Rong and others thought that there was a big problem in Jiaozhi, so he took the risk and gave it a try.

If you dare to resist after being given two thousand soldiers, who gave you the courage?

Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh.

as predicted.

Despite the slow response of the Ming army, various rumors, that the military's morale seemed to be returning, and that the soldiers were unwilling to fight anymore, etc., the nearby states and counties actually responded.

"I'm really not afraid of death."

Under the unified arrangement, the Ming army was not only slow to suppress the enemy, but also began to shrink its sphere of influence.

Only two months.

Hue, Tan Binh, Nghe An, Yen Chau, and Thanh Hoa all began to rebel. Then Chen Jianding went out to attack Pantan and Xianzi Pass, blocking the roads to and from Sanjiang Prefecture, and threatening the capital of Cochin.

Put forward the slogan of expelling the Ming army and sending away the Ming prince.

He didn't dare to break up completely yet, hoping that Zhu Di could leave on his own initiative.

Zhu Di's face turned dark.

Fortunately, he even boasted in a letter to his son about what people wanted, but reality slapped him in the face.

"They are not civilians."

Zhu Neng comforted.

Last time he failed to achieve military merit due to his serious illness, but this time he would not give up again.

How fast the Ming army received responses from various places in Annan was how fast it responded to Chen Jianding now.

The Ming Dynasty implemented the county system in Annan, which was unacceptable to the local gentry.

What they wanted was a hereditary system, which, like some local officials in Yunnan and Guangxi, was unacceptable to the same Annan royal family.

The Ming Dynasty opened up wasteland to save the people in the Jiaozhou Prefecture area, and various actions made the big families feel threatened.A thousand-year-old fox, no one can fool anyone.

From the actions of the Ming Dynasty, the big households in Jiaozhi guessed that the Ming Dynasty would definitely adopt a policy of suppressing them in the next step.

As long as anyone has read history books, no one can see clearly.

Therefore, for new forces in history, as long as they make a start, local bigwigs will know whether they are hostile or well-intentioned.

Shout a slogan and set an example, and the big players will feel the sincerity, and they will immediately come to support it with their hands raised and share the benefits together.

same.

If you stick your butt out, the big guys will know what this person is going to fart next.

If you love the people, you will be harsh on the wealthy.

Zhu Yuanzhang loved the people, so he was very harsh on the landlords.

After all, if you eat on one plate, the common people will get more, and the rich will get less. This is an eternal truth.

Except for the capital and the north, which were most tightly controlled by the Ming Dynasty, the entire south, that is, the Shaogang area, all rebelled, forming a confrontation between the north and the south.

"If you have ulterior motives, it's almost time to jump out. For those who don't jump now, even if they have the intention, others won't dare to do it, so why bother them."

Seeing that the time had come, Zhu Di issued an order to quell the rebellion.

Duke Mu Sheng of Guizhou was ordered to lead [-] Yunnan soldiers, Zhu Neng led [-] new troops to join the expedition, and Lu Yi, Wan Zhong and others led [-] naval troops to cooperate in the expedition.

Zhu Di himself led [-] Ming troops, sitting in the rear with Zhu Gaoxu and Zhang Fu, dispatching from the center to support the front line at any time.

The Yunnan native soldiers were ordered to stay in Jiaozhi for more than a year, and they complained deeply. Zhu Di knew it well, so the two groups did not join forces.

If you have the ability, try it yourself.

Conflicts must be resolved. Failure to resolve them will sooner or later lead to greater disasters. On the contrary, the sooner they are resolved, the smaller the price paid.

Relying on the strength of the new army, Zhu Di wanted the Yunnan native soldiers to try it themselves.

Without restraint, the Yunnan native soldiers were eager to show off their skills and then plunder.

This time there were no new troops around them, and there was no control from above.

Mu Sheng led his army southward and soon encountered Chen Jianding's army at Shengjue River.

The infantry of Chen Jianding's army guarded the stakes and built fortifications on both sides of the bank. The navy followed the wind and the tide and attacked. The two sides fought fiercely for three hours.

Called from morning to evening.

The Yunnan native soldiers were not afraid to fight, but were extremely brave, but the Jiaozhi rebels were also united.

Chen Jianding took advantage of the geographical location and gained an advantage.

In the end, the Yunnan native soldiers were defeated miserably, and several chieftains died in the battle. The frustrated Yunnan native soldiers no longer had the original rebelliousness.

The Ming army defeated Annan too quickly.

The native soldiers of Yunnan are approaching and they have forgotten how many times the Chinese people in the land of Annan have fought off foreign enemies.

Mu Sheng's face was also dull.

After all, he was based in Yunnan, and the failure of the Yunnan native soldiers was not good for him. Finally, taking advantage of the darkness, the two sides broke away from the battle.

News of the defeat of the Yunnan native soldiers spread back to the rear.

"The combat effectiveness of the local soldiers is still very strong. It is not that the local soldiers are weak. It seems that although the rebels have just risen, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. Tell Zhu Neng, don't be careless."

Zhu Di quickly sent someone to notify Zhu Neng.

There are no more than [-] troops in Jiaozhi now. The [-] new troops in Zhu Neng's hands cannot allow for any mistakes.

Zhu Neng led [-] new troops and did not make a surprise attack. Instead, he gradually approached Yutian City. In addition to intimidating the opponent's army not to move lightly, he also had the intention of coordinating Mu Sheng.

Precisely because they knew there were Ming troops dozens of miles away, the rebels did not take advantage of the situation and pursue them after the Yunnan native soldiers became unlucky.

Mu Sheng led the Yunnan native soldiers to take a detour to join Zhu Neng.

This time.

The morale of the Yunnan native soldiers was low, but they did not mention looting.

Seeing this, Zhu Neng chose to fight steadily, relying on artillery fire and firearms, and he was very patient for thirty miles a day.

On the contrary, the rebels lost their patience and came to fight.

As a result, [-] rebels were defeated in one fell swoop.

At the beginning, the Yunnan native soldiers and the New Army fought on two fronts, coupled with the unexpected success of the Navy, and Annan's resistance was not strong at that time, so the strength of the New Army was not fully revealed.

This time it’s the real deal.

Not one of the [-] rebels could withstand a single blow from the new army.

The rebels also had firearms.

However, the New Army's firearms have a longer range and are more powerful, and the New Army has strict military discipline, skilled tactics, and high morale.

Even if his colleagues around him were shot and fell to the ground, no one would be affected.

Mu Sheng was stunned.

Not only him, but the Yunnan soldiers were also grinning from ear to ear. The brothers who used to eat from the same pot turned out to be so fierce.

The rebels did not expect that the 1-strong army would be defeated so completely, with less than [-] people able to escape.

In addition to those who died in battle and surrendered, there were also a large number of people who fled into the jungle without a trace.

Zhu Neng won the battle and began to accelerate his march.

"Chief soldier, please don't be proud of victory." Mu Sheng kindly reminded him that his title meant that he was not afraid of Zhu Neng.

"The reason why the march was slow before was because the rebels had field capabilities. Now that the main force of [-] people has been eliminated, the rebels have fallen into a defensive strategy everywhere and have no initiative to attack. Of course, they must fight quickly and not give them the opportunity to reorganize their young strength. Opportunity." Zhu Neng explained with a smile.

After hearing what Zhu Neng said, Mu Sheng began to admire him.

Not only are the soldiers of the New Army strong, but the generals of the New Army are also talented.

Zhu Neng and Zhang Fu have two different fighting styles, with their own advantages and methods. Mu Sheng feels inferior to them.

After this battle, the military discipline of the Yunnan native soldiers was visibly strengthened, and there were no more protests. The two armies became more harmonious.
