Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

Tianmu also continued to tell the story.

【The last one is the Central Army, which is also the most legendary Northern Expedition Army.】

[The Central Army was led by Mr. Guan, Pan Potou, Feng Changjiu and others.]

[The goal is to occupy Shanxi, then go east through Taihang to attack Dadu. ]

[In September 1357, the Central Army invaded Shanxi and successively captured Lingchuan, Gaoping, Luzhou and other places, posing a threat to Taiyuan.]

[The Yuan Dynasty hurriedly dispatched Chagan Temur's army from Shaanxi to the east for assistance. The Red Turban Army's attack was frustrated and they retreated to the Taihang Mountains to rest.]

[In the spring of the 18th year of Zhizheng, Mao Gui, the leader of the Eastern Army, invaded Hebei and attracted a large number of Yuan troops.]

[The pressure on the central army was reduced suddenly, and the Northern Expedition was unstoppable. ]

[Successively captured Jiangzhou, Qinzhou, Jining, Datong and other places. ]

[They even occupied Taiyuan. ]

[But unfortunately, this Red Turban Army was too focused on occupying the area and was unable to move east in time.]

[Give Mao Gui's Northern Expedition Army more direct and powerful support.]

[This caused Mao Guijun to be blocked in the suburbs of Dadu and retreat back to Shandong.]

[After Mao Gui withdrew his army, the Yuan troops from the north immediately entered Jin to attack the central army.]

【Chahan, the firefighter captain at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, rushed to Shanxi to provide emergency assistance. 】

【Chahan's army is very powerful. 】

[However, Mr. Guan is flexible in leading his troops. The Red Turban Army's infantry battalion walks their dogs every day.]

【Chagan Temur knew that following the Red Turban Army would be very passive.】

[So he managed to get a few key points.]

[In the east, there is Jingxing, a key intersection for Chagan Temur Kazhu to go east to Taihang. ]

[This way, the central army will not be able to enter Hebei and threaten Dadu. ]

[The roads to the west and south have also been blocked, making it difficult to enter Shaanxi or return to Henan.]

[It can be said that Chagan Temur's strategy was very spicy. ]

[The Red Turban Army's activities in the middle were indeed restricted to the mountainous areas of Shanxi.]

[On May 8, Guan Bao defeated the Red Turban Army in Gaoping;]

[On June 13, Mr. Guan and Pan Po Tou conquered Liaozhou. Facing the attack led by Hu Linchi, Mr. Guan and others went west.]

[In September, Mr. Guan attacked Baoding Road but failed, so he went west and captured Wan County.]

[After several battles, the Red Turban Army was defeated by Chagan Temur and suffered heavy losses.]

【But Mr. Guan also creatively proposed a new strategy. 】

【Since you can't go east, west, south or north. 】

[Unable to join forces with the Eastern Army. ]

[Mr. Guan and others decided to attack Datong and Xinghe in the north and march into the outer reaches of the Great Wall.]

[In October, the Central Army captured Datong, and the Red Turban Army marched out of the border! ]

[In the grasslands outside the Great Wall, the Red Turban Army was like a dragon entering the sea, entering an uninhabited area.]

[On the Mongolian grasslands, there were cries of grief as the Han peasant army plundered the grasslands.]

[The central army marched eastward and found that Yuanshangdu was unguarded. ]

【So they attacked Shangdu and burned the city. 】

[Shangdu was one of the two capitals of the Yuan Dynasty and the political center of the Yuan Dynasty outside the Great Wall. The emperor would spend half a year here to escape the summer heat and work.]

[The Red Turban Army burned down the magnificent palace in Shangdu. This feat was a heavy blow to the Yuan Dynasty and greatly shook the confidence of the Yuan Dynasty's ruling class.]

[This caused people to have serious doubts about the Yuan Dynasty’s rule.]

[However, when Mr. Guan ordered the palace to be burned down, he deliberately preserved the Confucius Temple.]

[At the same time, the Red Turban Army's march out of the border also triggered a response from the Mongolian Wanggu tribe.]

[Because the Yuan Dynasty's rule was really unpopular, many Mongolian tribes also rebelled. ]

[After staying in Shangdu for seven days, the Central Army turned eastward, attacked Quanning Road, and burned down the Yuanlu Palace.]

[On the 13th day of the first month of the 19th year of Zhizheng, they also captured Liaoyang Road, the capital of the Yuan Liaoyang Province.]

[Taiping, the left prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, believed that the Red Turban Army was just a bunch of bandits who would give up quickly after capturing Liaoyang.]

【He suggested that Emperor Shun send his son Yesenhudu as the general to lead the army to attack Liaoyang.】

[He attempted to wait for the Red Turban Army to leave and then recover the lost territory and take advantage of the situation.]

[However, after Yesenhudu arrived in Liaoyang, he found that Guan Xiansheng, Po Tou Pan and others were inspecting their war horses every day and had no intention of retreating.]

[Yesenhudu was afraid of the Red Turban Army, and his army was defeated without a fight.]

[Afterwards, the Red Turban Army, free of worries, attempted to enter the country from Liaodong.]

【But it failed.】

[Afterwards, Mao Jujing of the Red Turban Army led an army of 40,000 across the Yalu River and began the first expedition against Goryeo.]

……

Outside the sky.

Song.

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned.

"No, isn't your Northern Expedition a little too far?"

"I thought that your Red Turban bandits' northern expedition to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun would be enough."

"But you ended up going straight to Korea?"

It can be said that Zhao Kuangyin was dumbfounded.

"This bandit in later generations established the Song Dynasty."

"Your success in the Northern Expedition puts a lot of pressure on me."

"If the Red Turban Army were bandits, the pseudo-Song you established would be able to march north to Yanyun, or even directly attack Goryeo."

"It would be unacceptable if my authentic Song Dynasty could not recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun."

"Am I right?"

"But now the Liao people are strong."

"Just like Tianmu said, sometimes the success of a task depends not only on your own strength, but also on the opponent's weakness."

"It's clear that the current Liao Kingdom is not bad at all."

"When will I be able to wait for the opportunity that belongs to me, Zhao Kuangyin?"

"But now I am old, I am really afraid that I will not have a chance for the rest of my life."

Zhao Kuangyin felt a little sad.

Next to Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi also nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, Zhao Guangyi also silently made up his mind that if he successfully ascended the throne, he would lead the Song Dynasty's heavenly army to recover the lost territories.

The great achievement of recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and establishing a unified dynasty.

This is Zhao Guangyi’s goal!
At the same time, Zhao Guangyi continued to look at the sky seriously.

I am very curious about what the Red Turban Army encountered after they arrived in Goryeo.

We can't really let these bandits go.

We marched all the way north from Huaixi, reached Goryeo, and destroyed it, right?

……

The sky continues.

[The Red Turban Army successively conquered many areas in the northwest of Goryeo and occupied the Western Capital of the Goryeo Kingdom, also known as Pyongyang.]

[Speaking of Goryeo, it was not a white lotus at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. ]

[Goryeo and the Yuan court had a close relationship and were allies through marriage.]

[They had previously sent troops to assist the Yuan Dynasty in suppressing the Red Turban Army. ]

[Now, the Red Turban Army from Jiangnan has appeared in Goryeo. ]

[Although the message sounds nice. ]

[But in fact, I won’t be polite to you! ]

【Burn, kill, loot and rob along the way, crazy pictures. 】

[For a while, the people of Goryeo were in a panic, and the common people fled. ]

[However, due to the freezing weather, the Red Turban Army was short of supplies and suffered many frostbite, so they had to evacuate Xijing and retreat to Longgang and Xiancong.]

[They were pursued by the Goryeo army again. 】

[In the end, only more than 300 people retreated across the Yalu River.]

[The Red Turban fleet that attacked Goryeo from the sea was also repelled.]

[In November 1360, the Red Turban Army was reorganized and had a force of more than 11 men.]

[Once again entered the northwest of Goryeo. 】

[This time the momentum was even stronger. The Red Turban Army captured Anzhou and crossed the Cibei Ridge. ]

[In one fell swoop, they occupied the Goryeo capital of Kaesong, which is now Kaesong. 】

【King Gongmin of Goryeo fled to the island for refuge. 】

[The Red Turban Army once again looted wildly in Kaifeng, slaughtering civilians everywhere, raping women, and feeding on pregnant women’s breast milk.]

【And burned down the Goryeo royal palace. 】

[This also led to a surge in resistance in Goryeo.]

[The Red Turban Army also fell into the old habit of falling in love with the gentle women of Goryeo. ] [The officers and soldiers of the Red Turban Army were all paired with Goryeo beauties. ]

[Every day, everyone was enjoying themselves with the beautiful women sent as tribute from Goryeo, and they let their guard down.]

[In January 1361, the Goryeo army of 1 soldiers besieged the Red Turban Army from the east, south, and west.]

[A Wanhu of Goryeo, who later became the founding emperor of the Joseon Dynasty, Yi Seong-gye, led 2000 elite troops to attack Kaesong unexpectedly.]

[The Koreans in the city rose up to support them.]

[And hid the Red Turban Army's war horses. ]

[The main Goryeo army then attacked and the Red Turban Army was defeated.]

[Throughout Kaesong, the Goryeo army announced: Except for those who spoke Goryeo’s language, all others would be killed.]

[Mr. Guan and 100,000 others were killed, and the Goryeo army seized countless Yuan Dynasty jade seals, gold treasures, gold, silver and copper seals, weapons and other items looted by the Red Scarf.]

[Po Tou Pan led the remaining troops to escape from the Korean Peninsula under the pursuit of the Goryeo army.]

[In April, Pan Po Tou was captured by the Yuan army in Liaoyang and executed.]

[This peasant army entered Shanxi, broke into the outer frontier, burned down Shangdu, and became the only peasant army to fight abroad, but it was also destroyed.]

Inside the canopy.

Barrages of comments broke out one after another.

"Red Turban Army: Damn, I have become a Mongolian."

"World famous paintings: Yuan army resists Song army at Shanhaiguan."

"The Central Plains regime established by the Mongols resisted the Han regime in Liaodong."

"I wonder if there are any Jurchens in Mr. Guan's team..."

"Thinking back to the Song-Yuan War, the Song army conquered Bianliang and returned to the old capital, and the three armies marched north, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!"

"No, this central army is too far away."

"From Guanzhong to Shangdu, we were forced to fight north for three or four thousand miles."

"My Song Dynasty is invincible!"

"The King of Wu of the Song Dynasty is the best in the world!"

"Was Goryeo so powerful at that time?"

"How could he be strong? He was slaughtered by the peasant army of the suzerain country."

"It's still possible. I defeated the Red Turban Army with my own strength."

"Without the Red Turban Army, Lee Seong-gye would not have emerged, and the 600-year-old Joseon Kingdom would not have been established."

"Why is Chagan Temur everywhere?"

"This is what a fire captain is like."

"From this perspective, Chahan is much better than Wang Baobao."

"If Chagan Temur was not strong, would a figure like Zhu Yuanzhang temporarily give in?"

"The three Red Turban armies suffered too many casualties."

"The East Road is also legendary, Mao Gui is a master of amphibious warfare."

"Mao Gui is a rare talent in the Red Turban Army who excels in both military and political affairs."

"If Mao Gui is not dead, the Red Turban Army can reorganize and recapture Dadu easily."

"It seems that the people who killed Mao Gui were descendants of Zhao and Song."

"This is outrageous!"

And outside the sky.

Li Shimin was relatively calm at first.

At the end of the dynasty, it was normal for peasant armies to kill imperial troops indiscriminately.

Even abandoning his own status as a feudal ruler.

From a purely national perspective, Li Shimin even felt quite happy when he saw the Han men of later generations beating the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

And see behind.

Li Shimin was also dumbfounded.

In particular, they saw the Red Turban Army's central army easily cross the border, fight for thousands of miles on the grassland, and sweep across the Mongolian grassland.

Fight all the way to Liaodong.

They established a base in Liaodong, entered the country from the northeast, and occupied the Goryeo royal city.

Li Shimin said with a puzzled look:

"Ah, is it so easy to conquer Liaodong?"

Li Shimin had a very difficult time conquering Liaodong.

At this time I can only feel.

The Red Turban Army's battle record and campaign routes were simply exaggerated.

In the end, we saw that the three northern expeditions of the Red Turban Army achieved certain results, but they all ultimately failed and were destroyed one after another.

Li Shimin also sighed.

"After all, they are just a group of bandits."

"We can never match Chagan Temur in terms of fighting power."

"The strategy is also a gamble throughout the process."

"The three armies marched north together, seemingly making for a magnificent expedition, but in reality they fought independently and were defeated separately."

"If it were me, I would build a strong army instead of rushing to the north."

At the same time, Li Shimin also speculated:

"The three armies of the Red Turban Army were almost completely wiped out. I'm afraid the subsequent Red Turban Army won't be able to make any more waves, right?"

"Not only because the Yuan Dynasty will further suppress them."

"The key is to look at the map displayed on the sky screen."

"There are multiple other rebel forces to the south of the so-called Han Song regime."

"These rebel forces are at most like the vassal states at the end of the Qin Dynasty, worshipping Han Lin'er as the Righteous Emperor."

"If Han Song can remain strong and have hundreds of thousands of elite Red Turban troops, then it would be easy to deal with."

"But now all three northern expeditions have failed, and the Han Song regime has been greatly weakened."

"I'm afraid the other princes under him will no longer truly recognize him as their boss."

Li Shimin briefly analyzed the situation.

The sky screen continued to play the last part of the clip.

[Although the three armies of Longfeng and Fenghuang all failed in the Northern Expedition. ]

[But to say that no results were achieved is sheer nonsense.]

[First, these three northern expeditions swept through the Yuan Dynasty's ruling areas in the north, dealing a heavy blow to the Yuan Dynasty court.]

[From then on, the Yuan Dynasty was almost in name only. ]

[The entire Yuan Dynasty's northern war potential was also greatly reduced. ]

[While the Northern Expedition was underway, the Yuan army in the north was taking advantage of the gap when the main forces were fighting fires in Guanzhong, Shanxi, Hebei and other places.]

【Liu Futong also seized the opportunity to march into Kaifeng.】

[Faced with the Red Turban Army led by Liu Futong, the Kaifeng defenders of the Yuan Dynasty surrendered without a fight.]

[The Red Turban Army easily captured Kaifeng.]

[After many years, the flag of the Song Dynasty finally appeared again above the old capital of the Song Dynasty. ]

[Unfortunately, a year later, Chagan Temur, who had conquered the north, came again. ]

[After holding out for three months, Liu Futong was unable to resist and could only abandon the city and flee with Han Lin'er and several hundred cavalrymen.]

[Kaifeng also fell into the hands of the Mongols again.]

【The spotlight at the end of the Yuan Dynasty will also change its direction. 】

【As for the subsequent story? 】

[We will focus our attention on the Ming Dynasty. ]

The sky screen video ends here.

Barrages of comments also surged out.

"Chagan Temur, a peasant from Henan, was really fierce. He defeated the Red Turban Army directly."

"If Chahan had not died, the Yuan Dynasty could have lasted another 50 years!"

"Continuation of the Yuan Dynasty? Usurpation of the Yuan Dynasty! Do you know why Chagan Temur was assassinated?"

"Because a Red Turban Army surrendered, he thought Chagan Temur was supporting the Yuan Dynasty, but he found that Chagan was as arrogant as Cao Cao and Zhu Wen, so he assassinated Chagan Temur."

"Ah? Isn't this a good opportunity for Lao Zhu?"

"Wrong, Lao Zhu was the champion of the Southern Division of the Yuan-end Chicken Eating Competition, and then the top seed of the Northern Division died suddenly, and the other players could not compete for the division championship. Who is to blame?"

"The Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition was indeed easy, but the subsequent battles against the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Yunnan, and Liaodong took more than 20 years!"

"At most, we can say that Zhu Yuanzhang's capture of Dadu was like picking peaches."

"After capturing Dadu, they defeated the first phase of the Yuan army's counterattack and wiped out 50 Yuan troops."

"Since ancient times, the only person who could successfully control the north with the south was Zhu Yuanzhang. "

"The economic center is in the south. The population and economy are directly crushed, so the Northern Expedition can be easily won."

"Old Zhu has to thank Liu Futong for attracting firepower, but Old Zhu's subsequent strategic pattern is much higher than Liu Futong's. Rebuilding China!"

"Give Zhu a complete south, and challenge Chagan Temur who has a complete north, he can beat the shit out of Chagan Temur." (End of this chapter)
