At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 307 Yongzhou
In the city tower, the Yuan army commander Saidianchi Hasan looked at the city and remained silent.

Granaries, treasuries, armories, blacksmith workshops and other places were either still burning or filled with smoke. On the day the Yuan army broke through the city, Yongzhou soldiers and civilians were systematically setting fire to key facilities.

Not only that, the soldiers and civilians of the city fought fiercely with the Yuan army in the streets and courtyards. Although the weapons were not sophisticated enough and their martial arts skills were not skilled, they still caused considerable casualties to the Yuan army by relying on daily training.

The Yuan army became so angry that they began to massacre the city, leaving no one behind, regardless of gender, age or child, regardless of whether they were armed or not.

The streets were littered with corpses, and mosquitoes and flies buzzed above the bloody water, seemingly in a carnival.

Of the 6000 people in Yongzhou City, more than [-] were evacuated. At this time, there were only a few left alive.

"The border was broken with one blow, but we didn't expect that a mere [-] defenders caused [-] casualties to us. It's really hateful." Dr. Jiayi, the general manager of Yuezhou Road, and deputy general Xia Bai said bitterly.

"If this happens everywhere in Guangxi and Guangdong, our army will have to retreat." Ha San sighed leisurely.

The sudden appearance of strange troops indeed caught the Song army by surprise, but the resistance of the people was really unexpected.

But Hasan understood.

When Yunnan was established as a province, his father, Fansi Ding, was the first Pingzhang official. During his tenure, he treated the people well and was deeply supported. Whenever there was chaos in any place, Fansi Ding raised his arms and immediately countless people followed him to quell the chaos. There is no need for the court to send troops.

The camps are hostile and the methods of doing things are similar, so the results are naturally very different.

To the Yuan army until death, such officials and people of the Song Dynasty were really unpleasing.

"Marshal!" A soldier hurried upstairs, holding a book and said, "I discovered this. Marshal needs to take a look."

Hasan took it and saw "National Training Manual" written on the cover, written by Li Tingzhi.

Seeing this name, Hasan's eyes shrank.

Anyone who has some status, who doesn't know that Li Tingzhi guards Yangzhou tightly, and other places under Huaidong's rule are not surrendered unless the mountains and rivers are exhausted.

When I opened it, I saw that it contained information on how to persuade the people, how to raise money and food, how to prepare weapons based on simplicity, and when it was appropriate to conduct intensive training...

The process is clear and the operation methods are detailed. As long as the local officials do their best, all the people will be soldiers.

Finally, I saw that the book was written in the fourth year of Wanguo's reign, and I was relieved.

It has been implemented for nearly seven years. It is no wonder that the soldiers and civilians of Yongzhou can cause such casualties to the Yuan army.

To be honest, if the times had not changed and the Yuan army had Tianlei artillery and guns as a basis, they might not be able to take Yongzhou City.

Xia Bai said: "Marshal, such an act would consume a lot of money. Perhaps Yongzhou is willing to train with the army because of the battle of Xining, but this is not the case in other places."

Hasan is proficient in Sinology, so he naturally knows about the Battle of Xining.

In the eighth year of Xining reign of Emperor Shen Zong, the Li Dynasty of South Vietnam invaded the north, conquering Qin, Lian, Yong and other prefectures, and massacred wherever they went. Because Yong Prefecture resisted fiercely, Hecheng was massacred.

Therefore, Xia Bai believes that people in Yongzhou actively participate in training because of the lessons learned from the past. This may not be the case in other places if there is no personal pain.

Hasan said: "With this manual, any local official who wants to be promoted must do his or her duties wholeheartedly. At least this must be the case in all parts of Guangxi."

Hasan closed the letter and said to his guards: "Send this book back to Yunnan quickly, copy it and report it to the court. It may be beneficial to state affairs."

The personal guard took it and took the order to go.

It is hard to say whether the imperial court will implement it across the board, because the local areas are being squeezed too much and the people are deeply resentful. Local places may not dare to organize the people. Yunnan is definitely able to do so.Zhan Siding stayed in Yunnan for six years. He "dedicated himself to promoting Yunnan and served as the son of Yunnan."

Later, many successors had bad governance, and chaos arose in Yunnan. Kublai Khan "remembered the achievements of Sai Dianchi and ordered the ministers of Yunnan Province to abide by Sai Dianchi's rules." However, the effect was not obvious, so he appointed his eldest son, Nasuradin, as Pingzhang.

Following the legacy of Si Ding, Nasura Ding inherited his father's style and restored a series of policies. Yunnan was once again stable and supported by the people.

As long as Nasuradin is willing to act according to the rules, all the people in Yunnan can be soldiers.

Of course, the top priority is the next step.

His [-] troops were not just for Yongzhou, but to involve the Song army on the front line and create opportunities for Dali Buhan.

After thinking for a moment, Hasan ordered the entire army to gather.

What needs to be vented has already been vented. Grabbing too many things will become a burden, so we must gather and rest.

Because Hasan's prestige was sufficient, Yuan soldiers obeyed the order to withdraw their troops, but before leaving the city, they set fire to Yongzhou City and completely burned it.

Hasan didn't stop him. He didn't want to occupy it anyway, but of course, complete destruction was the priority.

Returning to the camp, Xia Bai took the initiative to invite Ying as a forward to fight against Binzhou (Binyang).

"We can't divide our troops." Hasan rejected Xia Bai's request and said, "I think the Song army is already on the way to help. We should explore the route and set up an ambush halfway."

"Does the marshal have a plan?" Xia Bai asked.

Hasan pointed to the map and said: "The only people who can come to the aid of the Song army are Jiangjuan's troops in Xiangzhou, and they must pass through Gulou Mountain when going south.

Because the people resisted, it is not yet known where he has gone. He may encounter him when he goes to Gulou Mountain, which is quite risky. "

Jiang Guan's headquarters is the general reserve force of the Song Army in Guangxi. Needless to say, it is an elite force. If the Yuan Army encounters it, it will definitely not be favored.

Xia Bai was not afraid and took the initiative to ask for orders.

After his father, Xia Gui, surrendered, he was awarded the title of Kaifu Yitong, three divisions, and participated in political affairs. However, when a general was born, he was already under suspicion, so he wanted to prove his loyalty, not to go further, but to keep his current position and power.

In view of Xia Bai's good performance, Hasan assigned [-] troops to him, rushed to Gulou Mountain to set up an ambush, and led an army to support him.

Xia Bai led the army and rushed to Gulou Mountain overnight, while Liu Zongchun, commander of the Fourth Division of the Song Army, was also leading his troops on the march.

Originally, the news had already reached the Marshal's Mansion, but Liu Guobao launched an all-out attack due to Dali Buhan and Yuan Ting's puppet Guangxi recruitment. Many places were in danger, and Jiang Guan and Miao Zaicheng had to concentrate on stabilizing the front line of defense.

Now that the front line is basically stable, Liu Zongchun's division is dispatched to support Yongzhou.

Liu Zongchun joined the army as early as when the Jiang Clan raised troops. He has been studying with Jiang Jiao for more than ten years.

In order to reach Yongzhou as early as possible, he let the artillery move slowly behind, and only used the musketeers as the forward, and the light troops moved quickly.

The departure of the 54th Division was not hidden from Dali Buhan's eyes.

Our total military strength is considerable, and it is certainly impossible to defend everywhere. In less critical places, the military strength deployed is to hold on until reinforcements arrive.

Now that 54 has left, there is only one division left beside Jiang Qiu. This is the opportunity Dali Buhan needs.
