My son A Fei has the appearance of a sword master

Chapter 129: Conquests in the South and North in the Eighth Year of Chenghua
After inspecting the factory, Li Tianxin took Zhu Jianshen and his party to the Zhu family's old residence.

Li Tianxin arranged several cooks in the old house to be responsible for their meals.

There were twelve Xichang fanzi guards carrying pistols, so he didn't need to worry about safety issues, so he went back after making arrangements.

Because a troop will come to Fenyang soon to learn how to operate rifles and mortars, and Li Tianxin has no time to accompany them in retreat.

After Zhu Jianshen's careful consideration before, he did not hand over the battle of southern Xinjiang to the Southwest Military Region alone, because the Southwest Military Region was mainly a field army and did not have a navy.

Therefore, this battle was carried out jointly by the Southwest Military Region and the Southern Military Region.

The Southwest Military Region is responsible for land warfare, and the Navy of the Southern Military Region is responsible for waterway attacks.

Therefore, the people who came to Fenyang to learn how to operate new weapons this time were a battalion sent by the Navy of the Southern Military Region.

In order to take into account the habits of people in this era, Li Tianxin did not reform the army establishment.

Because the current establishment is actually not much different from that of later generations in terms of personnel settings, that is, the names are just different.

A small flag corresponds to a squad, a general flag corresponds to a platoon, a hundred households corresponds to a company, a thousand households corresponds to a regiment, and a guard corresponds to a brigade.

Li Tianxin only increased the establishment of battalions between Baihusuo and Qianhusuo, and above the guards, he added divisions and corps.

In the past, the general manager was just the deputy of Qianhu, but now he is equivalent to the battalion commander. The commander of the division is the commander of the capital. The commander of the army is called the general. The commander of the military region is naturally the commander-in-chief.

The establishment of one military region in the Ming Dynasty was 15, and the two major military regions had a total army of 30.

Today, the combined population of all countries in Southeast Asia is about 300 million. Annan has a population of about 450 million and an army of more than [-].

30 vs. 30, but one side is still using bows, arrows and spears, and the trebuchet is already a cold weapon army as a strategic weapon.

On one side is the new army equipped with advanced firearms and strong logistical and medical support.

If this war could still be lost, Zhu Jianshen would chop off the heads of the generals of the two military regions, then take command with his sword in hand, and take Li Tianxin with him to fight in person.

……

Li Tianxin waited for more than ten days before the battalion dispatched by the Navy of the Southern Military Region finally arrived in Fenyang.

The main reason is that the current railway is only built as far as Huguang, and the southern railway has not yet been rolled out. Therefore, the officers and soldiers from Haikou rode all the way to Huguang before boarding the train.

Because the south is mountainous and the terrain becomes more undulating as you go south, tunnels need to be dug first to build the railway, so construction is extremely difficult and the progress is relatively slow.

Otherwise, two days is more than enough for a mere 2000 kilometers.

After the battalion was in place, Li Tianxin arranged for them to live directly in the factory military area and begin training.

The rifle is simple, and the officers and soldiers have become familiar with it in just a few days. After firing twenty rounds of bullets each, they have basically mastered all the shooting essentials.

Mortars are not that simple. It only takes a little over a week to master the artillery skills. However, after half a month of learning the jump-eye ranging method, most people still have not mastered it.

This thing requires some talent, and not everyone can master it.

Therefore, Li Tianxin singled out those who learned quickly and asked them to specialize in ranging, while the others only needed to master gunnery.

During combat, a mortar will be in charge of three people, namely the commander, the gunner, and the ammunition hand.

In this way, the efficiency of bombardment will be greatly improved.

After Zhu Jianshen and others were in seclusion for nearly two months, their mental skills finally broke through to the ninth level, and their whole body Qi was trained to the state of yin to cold, and then the yin and yang.

The first person to master it was Hua En. He had been practicing for many years and had more experience than Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er, so he came out of seclusion a few days earlier.

Followed by Zhu Jianshen, Wan Zhen'er was the last to come out.

After receiving the news, Li Tianxin rushed to the old house. After congratulating them, he took them to the steel plant west of the industrial park.

Li Tianxin built a small tin room for them not far from the steel-making furnace as their retreat.

There is plenty of fire energy here. Although the effect is certainly far inferior to the ice cellar of Thousand-year-old Xuanbing, it is still much better than having no environmental bonus.

In fact, to break through the tenth level of Hunyuan Zhenqi, the best retreat environment is in the crater, but it is too dangerous and the distance is quite far, so Li Tianxin arranged for them to retreat in the steel mill.

This retreat lasted for more than three months, and the three of them finally achieved great success in Hunyuan Qi. Afterwards, they took the Taiyi Soul-Returning Pill, and their skills greatly increased.

Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er both possess 80 years of skill, while Huai En has a century.

At this time, the battalion had already finished its training and returned to the Southern Military District with mortars and rifles.

After spending a few days to get familiar with the surge of skills in his body, Zhu Jianshen decided to start his journey in the world.

Li Tianxin didn't go with him because he was so famous and his portrait had already spread throughout the world. If he was with him, how much fun would Zhu Jianshen have in this journey?
Besides, he still had a factory to be responsible for, so Zhu Jianshen only invited Shen Lang and his wife and Panda'er to go with him, while Li Tianxin and his family stayed at home to take care of their children.

Because the light was obscured by Li Tianxin, and history was changed by Li Tianxin, Shen Lang and Panda'er's current fame did not match their strength at all.

But because of this, they will not have much influence if they follow Zhu Jianshen.

I have to say that Zhu Jianshen is quite good at playing, and his career in the world of martial arts was not in vain.

He used the intelligence ability of Xichang's secret agents to expose many famous martial arts figures who were highly respected on the surface but secretly committed many evil deeds, and he personally killed them with the sword.

Tian Qiye, who "has a stick to control the world and three iron guts to determine everything", was naturally not spared.

There are also "selfless" Zhao Zhengyi and "iron and courageous" Qin Xiaoyi, who are also on the list of being eliminated.

Long Xiaoyun's three good brothers had already left the scene before meeting Long Xiaoyun.

Zhu Jianshen's move not only tested the ability of Xichang's secret agents, but also eliminated those who were seeking fame and reputation in the world. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone.

The Dragon and Phoenix Heroes' statement rose like a comet and soon became famous all over the world.

The consequence of this move was that he encountered countless assassination attacks along the way. The assassins were basically relatives and friends of famous martial arts figures.

The most massive assassination, there were more than [-] assassins.
However, in just a short cup of tea, nearly half of them were killed by Zhu Jianshen, Shen Lang and others, and the rest were frightened and they all dispersed in a rush.

If this kind of thing happened in the world, those so-called righteous people in the world would have gone to Renyi Villa to come forward.

But this time, no one dared to go to Renyi Villa, because when Zhu Jianshen selected those famous martial arts figures, they all had irrefutable evidence, and they were not false accusations.

In this case, going to Renyi Villa will only bring humiliation to oneself.

Fortunately, the Dragon Warrior and the Phoenix Girl only wreaked havoc in the world for half a year.Just like they appeared out of thin air, they disappeared out of thin air half a year later.

……

In February of the eighth year of Chenghua, Zhu Jianshen wrote an edict announcing to the world that the citizens of the southern Xinjiang countries turned into Japanese pirates and harassed the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty for a long time.

The Ming Dynasty made many representations, but the countries in the southern Xinjiang ignored it and took a laissez-faire or even supportive attitude. Now the Ming Dynasty set up the king's division to conquer the countries in the southern Xinjiang.

At the same time, the Tatar Oara in the north had a deep hatred with the Ming Dynasty. This time, they declared war on the Tatar Oara at the same time to avenge their blood.

As soon as this edict came out, there was an uproar in the whole world, and the support rate reached more than [-]%.

In particular, people from the southeastern coast, southwest border, northwest and north gave the greatest support. Those who had food donated food, and those who did not have much left at home contributed.

Because they are the people who have suffered the most from foreign barbarians and Tartars for generations. Now that the Ming Dynasty is extremely powerful and the emperor is willing to avenge his people, they naturally support him.

Although the people in the mainland are not deeply impressed, they understand the power of the Ming Dynasty better than the people in the border areas, so even if it is a two-front battle, they are convinced that the Ming Dynasty will win.

The remaining nearly [-]% of people who did not express support did not express opposition either.

This group of people are just worried that the Ming Dynasty has finally made some progress in the past few years since the Tumubao Incident. With the outbreak of war, a large amount of money, food and materials will be consumed, and the national power will inevitably be weakened.

There is no need to explain the concerns of these people, because the results of the war will tell them the answer.

The Ming Dynasty started the war officially to further enhance its national power, rather than for meaningless revenge.

……

In March of the eighth year of Chenghua, the Northwest Military Region, Northern Military Region, and Northeastern Military Region of the Ming Dynasty launched simultaneous attacks on Tatar Wala from Hami Guard, Datong Prefecture, and Kaiping Guard respectively.

At the same time, the Southwest Military Region invaded Annan from Siming Prefecture and Guangnan Prefecture, and the Navy of the Southern Military Region set sail from Haikou and headed straight for the southeastern coast of Annan.

Although the countries in southern Xinjiang are small countries, they are not without knowledgeable people.

Since Ming Dynasty proposed huge compensation to the countries in southern Xinjiang on the grounds of Japanese pirates more than half a year ago, some people have realized that Ming Dynasty is afraid that it will attack southern Xinjiang soon.

Therefore, the countries in southern Xinjiang had formed an alliance a few months ago and deployed heavy troops on the border, intending to take advantage of the terrain and home field advantage to resist the Ming army. The southeastern coast was also heavily guarded.

However, when they actually faced the Ming army, they found that they had almost no power to fight back.

The distance their bows and arrows can be thrown is less than 200 meters, the range of large trebuchets is 210 meters, and the range of small trebuchets is 130 meters.

But the Ming Dynasty's flying thunder cannon has a range of 300 meters, which is embarrassing now.

The Ming army stopped about 280 meters away from their position, and then set up flying thunder cannons and bombarded them indiscriminately.

Because the thunder cannon shells are explosive packets, they do not rely on fragments to kill the enemy, but rely on the huge concussion and impact generated by the explosion.

When the shell hits, everyone will fly away. Except for the people at the center of the explosion, who will be blown to pieces, the people who are killed around will have almost no wounds on their bodies, but they will bleed from all their orifices. They were completely shocked to death, so It will be called "heartless cannon".

When the southern Xinjiang coalition forces couldn't stand the situation of being unable to fight back and could only be bombed, and took the initiative to launch a charge, they not only had to withstand the bombing of flying thunder cannons, but also faced the rain of arrows from the Ming army.

After finally rushing within twenty feet, smoking grenades were flying out, and large numbers of coalition soldiers fell down.

When they finally rushed in front of the Ming army, six out of ten of the tens of thousands of troops charging had been eliminated, but they still had to face the Ming army's sleeve arrows.

The number of soldiers who actually rushed in front of the Ming army and started hand-to-hand combat was less than five thousand, and then they were brutally beaten by tens of thousands of Ming soldiers.

After a battle that lasted less than three hours, the Southern Xinjiang coalition suffered more than [-] casualties, while the Ming army suffered less than [-] casualties. This terrifying gap directly made the Southern Xinjiang coalition feel desperate.

Without any accidents, the southern Xinjiang coalition army collapsed. The Ming army took the opportunity to launch a full-scale assault and gained a lot.

In the first battle of the attack on southern Xinjiang, 20 coalition troops from southern Xinjiang marched to the border, but in the end less than [-] escaped.

The number of casualties reached a terrifying [-], and [-] were made prisoners and taken back to the Ming Dynasty by the Ming army to work as hard labor. Mining, paving roads and building bridges were the main theme of the rest of their lives.

The casualties of the Ming army in this battle were only more than [-], and only more than [-] died on the spot. The injured were sent to the rear for treatment, and most of them survived and regained their fighting strength.

A small number of disabled people can be honorably discharged, receive generous pensions, and return to their hometowns to spend the rest of their lives. Their families can also receive preferential treatment, and the local government will take care of them for the rest of their lives.

When the border war broke out, the southeastern coast of Annan was also at war.

The Annan coastline is too long, so the coalition forces gathered 50 troops to guard the coast. The breakthrough point chosen by the Ming Dynasty was the Haihe County area of ​​Xin'an Prefecture in Annan.

The Southern Xinjiang Allied Forces also roughly guessed this, so they also deployed 20 troops here.

The border battle had just happened at this time, and naturally the outcome of the battle was not yet known here.

The time for the departure of the Ming army's land and water armies was accurately calculated, so that the two sides started fighting almost at the same time. They wanted to take advantage of the opponent's lack of understanding of the Ming army's combat power and inflict heavy damage on the opponent first.

The southern Xinjiang coalition deployed thousands of trebuchets and tens of thousands of crossbowmen on the coast. When the Ming Navy arrived and began to land on the beach, they would give the Ming army a head-on attack.

But what they never dreamed of was that the Ming army warship stopped and anchored 280 meters away from the coastline.

Then there was the roar of thunder cannons. They ignored the trebuchets. Their target was the soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang Allied Forces.

The one hundred mortars that Li Tianxin equipped for the navy also began to show off their power. They bombed specifically at the location where the flag of the coalition general was erected.

In professional terms, this is called "gun sniping".

Because each of their mortars is only equipped with thirty rounds of shells, apart from testing the ballistics of the first shot, every subsequent shot must be accurate.

There is no need to worry about the trebuchet. When the soldiers are blown away and flee, there will be a pile of rotten wooden shelves, which can be used for making fire and cooking after they land.

There is no doubt that the coalition forces were directly stunned by the bombing. They did not even understand what they were encountering.

When the array was completely blown apart, they didn't even bother with the trebuchets, and they all rushed away from the coast in a hurry.

Seeing this, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region immediately ordered the fleet to advance to 200 meters away from the coastline and extend the artillery fire. At the same time, he ordered the Marine Corps to land on the beach.

The Ming Navy's artillery fire extended, further driving the southern Xinjiang coalition forces away from the coast. The Marines rowing boats towards the coast were ignored.

Six hundred riflemen, armed with rifles that have been named "Chengqi", are on the first boat.

Once they land, before the coalition forces are completely defeated, they will transform into the gods of death harvesting lives.
