Chapter 1106 Five Way Attack
At the beginning of winter and December in the first year of Longwu, the Sinantian family members received a large amount of military intelligence, and without exception, it was the news that the Qin army was approaching step by step.

The imperial army kept moving their garrisons towards Guizhou. The speed of the movement was not fast, but the target of the movement was very clear. Now some of the imperial soldiers and horses had entered the border of Guizhou, drawing patterns everywhere to measure the terrain, and then repairing the road to build houses. The intention is unknown.

The situation in Guizhou suddenly became tense. After Mrs. Tian knew the news, Mrs. An and Mrs. Song had no reason not to know about it. Therefore, Zhu Zhengse, the polished governor who had been intentionally ignored by the big guys, suddenly became a favorite. The little chieftains all came to see him with gifts.

To be honest, whether to rebel or not doesn't mean much to everyone. Everyone wants to make money and enjoy life in peace and stability. They are used to the days when the court turns a blind eye to it. Everyone fumbles He came up with a way to live in peace with local officials and earn money together, so where would he have time to rebel?

Except for some people who are naturally rebellious or forced to rebel, rebellion is what everyone tries to avoid. If Yang Yinglong is not really short of money, he is a relatively arrogant chieftain, and there is still a distance from rebellion .

The other three companies have more businesses, wider channels, and do not have as many soldiers as the Yang family. In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they were more ruthless. Although they ranked ahead of the Yang family, there is no doubt about their military strength. It is Yang's strongest.

Therefore, raising soldiers requires money, Yang's is the most short of money, but they are not so short of money.

For them, they still want to live in peace with the imperial court and local officials according to the usual example, and they don't want to make any big troubles. Everyone's life is hard.

Not to mention Xiao Ruxun's fierce reputation, they really didn't want to be Xiao Ruxun's enemies.

So as soon as something happened, their first thought was not confrontation, but communication and resolving misunderstandings. They asked the court's purpose to see if there was any misunderstanding that they needed to contact. The best person was definitely not the army, but Zhu Zhengse.

The three chieftains and a group of young chieftains visited Zhu Zhengse one after another, and brought Zhu Zhengse a lot of gifts, which were much better than the gifts that had double meanings of warning and flattery. Pearls, agates, gold, silver and jewelry It's a trivial matter, celebrity calligraphy and painting is the big one.

Zhu Zhengse liked calligraphy and painting of famous people very much. After all, he was also a literati, and they all knew how to match what they liked.

Zhu Zhengse experienced the feeling of having someone backing him up, and that feeling should not be too comfortable, so he sat in the city of Guizhou carelessly, chatting and laughing happily with the chieftains.

The message he conveyed was nothing more than one--the soldiers of the imperial court are not coming for you, you just need to cooperate obediently, or you can also provide guides, food, trails, etc. to the imperial court, afterward, do whatever you want, you guys know.

Zhu Zhengse was the governor of Guizhou, and the information he revealed was already very convincing. The three chieftains immediately understood that the soldiers of the imperial court were not coming for them, but for Yang Yinglong, the most cheerful guy.

It's not that the three families have not received Yang Yinglong's letter, saying that they have seen a series of trends in the court and feel that something is not quite right. They invite the three families to let go of their grievances and keep talking to the outside world. Everyone needs to know the truth of the cold lips and teeth. I am finished, and you will not be better. where to go.

The three major chieftains vacillated repeatedly between the court's promise and Yang Yinglong's warning, until December [-] when the vanguard of the imperial army entered Sinan Mansion and Tongren Mansion from the Xuanweisi and Chenzhou Mansions of Baojingzhou respectively. The big chieftain and the local small chieftain really got nervous.

The 10,000+ army is mighty and mighty. They entered Guizhou in two ways along the water flow. The armor was bright and mighty. There were also a large number of ships that followed the army along the water flow, covering the entire water flow.

The imperial court did not know how many soldiers and horses it had mobilized this time, even a blind man would know that the visitor was not good.

Such a large-scale march frightened the three major chieftains. When the imperial army did not come, they could still sway from side to side, thinking about whether they should believe Zhu Zhengse's words or the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. In a short period of time, The three made a decision.

Wait and see.

When the conflict is too great to make a clear decision, being a tortoise is also a choice. Anyway, as long as you don’t take a clear-cut stand on a certain side, there is room for maneuver no matter what, isn’t it?
Naturally, wall grass is not very popular.

However, for Xiao Ruxun, the most important thing is to clean up the other three families and get rid of Yang Yinglong, who took the lead in making trouble. , together they are equal to Yang's.

Get rid of the Yang family who can fight the most, and the possibility of the remaining three families being discouraged is very high, and there is a great possibility that they dare not show disrespect to the court. Here we go.

But for the Xuanwu Battalion, and for other armies, military merits are not too much.

Moreover, Xiao Ruxun had more than one smoke bomb in his hand.

Under the leadership of Ma Qiancheng, the [-] main force of the Sichuan army in Chongqing began to prepare for the march to Qijiang. Once they set off, they would immediately go south along the Qijiang River and attack in the direction of Sanyuanba, directly threatening Yang Yinglong. lair.

In addition, Zheng Ying also stipulated several marching routes.

The whole Battalion of Xuanwu was divided into three armies, left, middle, and right. The right army, with Liu Ting as the main general, led [-] troops out of Longquan County.

The Chinese army was commanded by Zheng Ying himself, with [-] troops out of Bainisi.

The left army led by Zheng Ying's most powerful general, Wu Yong, commanded [-] troops, and went out to Xinglongwei.

The army going south from the Qinglong Camp organized itself into an army, led by Qi Dayong, the deputy general of the Qinglong Camp, and marched to Wujiangguan, the capital of Guizhou.

Such a five-way attack, in strict accordance with the pre-established tactical route, will destroy Yang Yinglong's defense within fifteen days, compress Yang Yinglong to Hailong Tun, and then annihilate him in one fell swoop. For this reason, Xiao Ruxun ordered several provinces in the southeast to provide enough food for the army At that time, the navy and warships were recruited to transport food and grass for the army.

The two bountiful harvests after the Jiangnan land reform last year and this autumn provided enough food support for the army's large-scale use of troops, and there were plenty of granaries in the southeastern provinces.

Moreover, it was midwinter at this time, when the farming was slack, and the township governments of various places, under the call of the county government, organized the peasant associations of each village to send up to [-] young men to help the army. On the principle of voluntariness, the families of the young men who participated in the delivery of military rations were exempted from handing over their land. Next year's agricultural tax.

With such a favorable policy, the farmers were enthusiastic, and the peasant association immediately organized young men to be sent to designated places by the township government to participate in the task of delivering grain and grass.

Although the main transportation tasks are handled by ships, there is still a large amount of food and grass that needs to go all the way with the army by land.
