Chapter 1058 Fish Dragon Jingxiang
Chapter 1068 Fish Dragon Jingxiang

Niu Zijie laughed and said: "If all the pontoon bridges are burned, the Heda people will have no way out, and they will naturally fight with their backs and fight against trapped beasts. If our Anxi army wants to wipe out the Heda army, it will pay a lot of casualties. But with the remaining two pontoon bridges, they will have a retreat, and they will kill each other in order to fight for this last chance to escape. It will save trouble at that time. Anyway, the two pontoon bridges can't pass many people at once. Cavalry, capable of stopping them all."

Li Jingshan said: "I don't know what happened to General Liu and the others!"

"It should be fine!" Niu Zijie said: "If the stone city is lost, I'm afraid the Heda people would have rejected the city and defended it, instead of running for their lives in panic like they are now!"

"Khan, what should we do now?" Lulu Wen Nasha was also in chaos at the moment. Seeing the complete collapse of Heda's army, everyone seemed to be scared out of their souls, as if the doomsday had come.Strategy Wen Nasha thought that he was no worse than Jersey, but unfortunately he was powerless to turn the tide at this time.

E Nabu was also very unwilling, but no matter how unwilling he was, it would not change anything.At this time, he lost control of the army and could not organize the army to resist effectively.When the interruptions continued, but against the chaos, Er Nayu was also a hero, and he seemed to ignore the fleeing soldiers and said in a loud voice: "Let's go, in the words of the Han people, keep the green hills, don't be afraid that there will be no firewood, this defeat is nothing." , Come to Japan Khan and compete with the Wei people again!"

From the moment when Ernaju fled from the battlefield, Ye Xian began to laugh when he saw Ernagu's golden wolf flag retreating slowly through the telescope.Not only him, but even Li Shen, commander of the No. 40 Fourth Division of the Wei Royal Infantry, also laughed.Under Ye Xian's order, more than 20 soldiers from the Ninth Infantry Division, No.44 Sixth Division, and No. The horses, and even some people had to rely on ropes to keep them from falling off the horses. The mounted infantry swept away like an irresistible torrent.

Enabi and Lului Wennasha ran so fast that it took a long time for the Heda army behind to realize that their Khan had actually run away.Some brave soldiers of the Heda Army were unwilling to fail. They also saw that the Wei cavalry was frighteningly weak, but before they could resist, they fled in embarrassment surrounded by the rout.

In fact, it was not E Nayu alone who was unwilling, but the common aspiration of all the soldiers of the Heda army.Without the morale of the army, the soldiers and horses that can fight are nothing but gangsters.The Heda army, which lost its command and backbone, could no longer muster up the courage to resist, and they abandoned their weapons and surrendered in a mess. More than 2000 cavalrymen of the Anxi Army rushed over and swung their swords fiercely at the Heda troops who refused to surrender.In particular, a rain of grenade bombs blew away the last breath of the Heda army. Those Heda troops who refused to surrender just wanted to escape for their lives. Wherever they could stop the Anxi army soldiers, they would be buried under the collapse.

The shepherds of the Western Regions pursued victoriously, and ignored the Heda army that was resisting in groups. The Wei State did not need them to attack and gnaw hard bones, but needed these skilled horsemen from the Western Regions to amplify the panic of the Heda army infinitely and suppress it. The Da army had no time to think about anything other than fleeing.

In the pursuit of the cavalry, no one is much faster than the other. If there is no obstruction by the Syr Darya, the Heda army can still run out with countless troops.However, the Syr Darya River, which is about a hundred feet wide, is an insurmountable moat for the Heda army who are fleeing.At this moment, these soldiers of the Heda army had only one thought in their minds, they didn't want to run faster than the Wei army, they just wanted to run faster than the people behind them.

Chinese civilization has always been at the forefront of world science and technology throughout history. When the Huns were still using bone arrows, the Qin army used bronze Qin crossbows to tell them who was the overlord of the world.When the Huns finally learned to smelt bronze weapons, the Han army brandished a steel ring knife and set off a bloody storm on the grassland.Even at the moment when China was sinking in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, as a nation on horseback, they were no match for the cavalry of the Han army.Because at this time Huaxia invented the double-sided stirrup and the Takahashi saddle. With the help of these equipment, as long as it is a tame war horse, even a person with a little training can ride it.What's more, at this time Wei Guo has half a foot into the age of firearms.

E Nagui discarded everything that could be discarded, even the precious luggage, even the most lethal rations (cattle, sheep and horses) of the whole army, but E Naju did not run out.Because he found that on the bank of the Syr Darya, most of the pontoon bridges that were originally erected had been burned, leaving two inside.

Not to mention that there are only two pontoon bridges, even if there are more than a dozen pontoon bridges, I am afraid that everyone will need to cross the Syr Darya for a while.Seeing the loss of order, everyone scrambled to cross the two pontoon bridges, and the soldiers of the Heda Army did not hesitate to fight each other.At this time, Liu Ke in Stone City led the remnant troops to chase them out of the city. Although at this time, the remnant soldiers in Stone City were all exhausted, but everyone felt extremely happy at this time.

Liu Ke sat down on the ground, and laughed loudly under the watchful eyes of the guards.At the end of the laugh, there were tears in his eyes.At this moment, he thought of Pao Ze who died in Stone City, and those members of the Central Asia Development Company who didn't have to die but died because of him.

The Heda army couldn't move anymore, some dropped their weapons and surrendered, and Wei Guo took the opportunity to shout: "Surrender without killing!"

Although the soldiers of the Heda Army could not understand Chinese, they saw that the surrendered soldiers who dropped their weapons were not hacked to death by the soldiers of the State of Wei, so they learned it well. After they all dropped their weapons, they were chased by Wei The soldiers of the country were divided into several groups to guard them, but the shepherds and cavalry of the countries in the Western Regions were not interested in surrendering troops. They all knew that only the heads were valuable.

Liu Ke and Ye Xian met outside the west city of Stone City. Liu Ke didn't say a word to Ye Xian and other generals who came to help, but only ordered the military record office to bring pens and ink to report victory in Ye City.

Liu Ke wrote down the six characters "Anxi Army Ding Anxi" in his own hand, and then ordered the recording room to join the army and send it back to Yecheng.Liu Ke doesn't need to record the Anxi Army's battle report in detail. As Ran Ming's apprentice, Liu Ke knows very well that Ran Ming has both light and dark channels to monitor any army. Even if he doesn't write a word, the detailed battle report will Put it on Ran Ming's desk in the fastest time.Liu Ke did not say that there were no mistakes in this battle, but generally speaking, the members of the Central Asia Development Company who died were actually intentional by Liu Ke.

The members of the Central Asian Development Company are mainly Hexi gentry, and because of the geographical location of the Hexi counties, the imperial court's control over the Hexi counties is far weaker than that of the Central Plains.Basically, capable county prefects or county magistrates can take advantage of the contradictions of the powerful gentry to barely maintain the rule of the court.However, there are too few such capable prefects and county magistrates.In most counties and counties, the government orders cannot leave the county.

It's not that Ran Ming is not clear about this situation, but there is no way to change it.It can also be said that this is the tradition of the past dynasties. The farther the area is from the center, the weaker the influence of the court.If there is no nineteen counties in Tingzhou, then there is nothing wrong with letting the gentry control Hexi.However, Ran Ming formulated the national policy of capturing the Chu River Basin, and Hexi became the lifeline of the Western Expedition.This Hexi cannot be directly controlled by the imperial court, Liu Ke is not at ease, and Ran Ming is even more unwilling.

So when Liu Ke formulated the plan in Shule, he brought the Central Asia Development Company along.Unlike Ran Ming, Liu Ke has no sense of right and wrong in his eyes. In his mind, no matter right or wrong, anyone who opposes Ran Ming is a sinner and deserves to die.Now after this battle, the Central Asia Development Company exists in name only, but the Hexi gentry and the powerful alliance suffered the most.

At this time, the Central Asia Company not only concentrated more than [-]% of Hexi Haoqiang's private soldiers, but also included almost all the talents of Hexi Haoqiang.At this time, even if the Hexi gentry and the powerful were determined to fight against the imperial court, they were powerless.But Liu Ke also knew that doing so would make him a public enemy of Hexi and even the world, but Liu Ke didn't care.He only cares about one person in this world, and that is Ran Ming.

After writing these six words, Liu Ke seemed to have exhausted his last energy, and he slowly fell to the ground.Ye Xian and Zhao Xun turned pale with shock, and after detailed inspection that there was no fatal wound on Liu Ke's body, they were relieved.

Just when the Anxi army was chasing down the poor bandits in Yijiang, Ran Ming, the emperor of Wei, was dealing with the disaster in Yizhou.On May [-], [-] in the Yellow Emperor's Era, Song Xian, the governor of Yizhou, wrote a letter to a sudden rainstorm in Yizhou, killing and injuring thousands of people, and destroying tens of thousands of people's houses.Now the torrential rain has weakened, but the torrential rain caused mudslides to block the official roads. Dozens of cities were isolated from the world. Many local official roads were submerged by mountain floods.Some villages were completely buried by the mudslides washed down from the mountains, and many sleeping people were buried alive.

What the past dynasties can do to deal with the disaster is to send personnel to set up disaster relief points, give the people some rations that can satisfy their hunger, or set up some big pots to cook porridge at the gate of the city, and then send people to bury the dead bodies, and then resettle the orphans and the elderly.If the victims of disasters rebelled, they would send officials and troops to suppress them. This is a rare example of good government, and if it is written in local chronicles, it is also worthy of a special book in history books.

However, as a person of later generations, Ran Ming did not agree with the cabinet's solution.Ran Ming immediately issued an imperial decree ordering the No. 20 Seventh Division of Wei State Royal Infantry stationed in Chengdu, the No. 13 Division stationed in Hanzhong and the new 56th Division in Duchang to go to the disaster area to provide disaster relief.

Ran Ming put forward a political slogan: "The disaster situation is as important as the military situation, and the disaster relief is like firefighting. After receiving the order, all ministries must unconditionally rescue the disaster, and everything must give way to the disaster relief."

To deal with the Yizhou disaster this time, Ran Ming not only mobilized three reorganized infantry divisions, but also mobilized more than 140 large and small transport ships of Jingzhou and Yizhou inland water divisions to urgently transport food, medicine, tents and other materials.In addition, more than [-] doctors from Tiaotai Hospital for injuries, diseases, and epidemics, as well as all doctors and nurses from the Zhenxi Army and Zhennan Army Field Hospitals also rushed to the disaster area to treat the wounded on the one hand and carry out post-disaster plague prevention on the other.

When Ran Ming mobilized the national forces of Wei State for emergency relief, Queen Xie Daoyun of Wei State was not idle.Xie Daoyun issued invitations to more than a thousand officials in Yecheng, wives and children who were registered in the imperial court, and let them enter the palace for a banquet in Chang'an Palace.During the meeting, Xie Daoyun expressed her sympathy for the victims in Yizhou, and called on all women and children to contribute money and strength.

Because of Xie Daoyun’s fundraising in the palace, it quickly received positive responses from inside and outside the court. In just half a month, all parts of Wei State donated money, clothes, and various materials, worth more than 160 million gold.

Wei Guo dealt with the disaster in Yizhou. Ran Ming not only used the army, but also ordered elite forces from the Royal Secret Service to go to the disaster area. Once rumors were discovered, they must be refuted immediately, and at the same time, those who spread rumors were arrested and sent to prison. One to three years of hard labor in factories and mines, all rumormongers will be beheaded regardless of their intentions.

The history of thousands of years and everything in the previous life told Ran Ming that no matter how the people's wisdom develops, there will always be a market for rumors.In later generations, Japan's nuclear leak caused panic among hundreds of millions of people in China, hoarding salt, and even stampede injuries occurred in order to rush to buy salt.What's more, in this era, if someone with a heart spreads rumors, it is likely to cause panic, suspicion and denial of the government.And the peasant uprisings in Chinese history are almost all connected by rumors, such as Chen Sheng and Li Guang's fish-bellied pills and fox calls in Daze Township, the Yellow Turban Army's "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky is born", and Han Shantong's death on the Yellow River at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Get the one-eyed man and so on.

Ran Ming is not afraid of the disaster victims rebelling and rioting, and also thinks that this possibility is very small, but he has to guard against the intentional people to use the disaster victims. After all, once the chaos breaks out, the Wei army will suppress it, and no matter how big the victory is, all the dead will be Innocent victims and civilians.Although the population of Wei State is quite large, no one is redundant.Everyone has the value and meaning of existence. Ran Ming adheres to the principle of saving one more person if he can save one more person, and one less death if he can save one person from death.

While Ran Ming was mobilizing national power, Yang Xi, the Taoist leader of Wei State, also realized the opportunity.Yang Xi promulgated the order of Tianzihao to mobilize the Taoists to go to the disaster area, not only to do things for the victims, but also to comfort the victims and promote the emperor's benevolence.

Qianwei County in Yizhou was the hardest hit area of ​​the Yizhou rainstorm disaster. A group of people were trapped in a small Langshan valley in Nan'an County (now Leshan City).This pedestrian was none other than the Prince of Wei, Ran Ting, who was traveling in a micro-clothes.According to Ran Ming's itinerary plan, Ran Ting was going to pass through Luoyang, Nanyang, Xiangyang and Dangyang (now Jingmen) to enter the Yangtze River upstream.

According to Ran Ming's will, the purpose of Ran Ting's trip this time is to let him see the life of the people and the development and changes of Wei.As a descendant, Ran Ming knows very well how important it is to cultivate a qualified heir.Sima Yan established the Jin Dynasty and unified the world. It cannot but be said that he is a hero.However, Jin Huidi, the second emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, became the laughing stock of the ages because of "there is no porridge to eat, so why not eat minced meat", a well-known fool emperor in history.In fact, it is very arbitrary to think that Emperor Hui of Jin is a fool emperor.

Emperor Hui of Jin has been the prince for 23 years. During these 20 years of his career as a prince, if he is really mentally handicapped, I am afraid he will not be able to ascend the throne and become emperor.Not to mention Sima Yan, I am afraid that no minister in the court would want to let the throne fall into the hands of such a fool.In fact, Jin Huidi Sima Zhong was not really stupid, but lived in the palace all year round, and did not know the sufferings of the people at all.There are still many emperors who have failed like this in China's 5000-year history.If Chongzhen was replaced by a wily and calculating emperor, he would not be fooled by the Donglin Party again and again, let alone subjugate the country and the world.Naturally, Ran Ming would not make such a simple mistake.As an emperor, one does not need to be versatile or proficient in everything, but to have a sufficiently broad understanding and vision.It is absolutely impossible for the deep palace to cultivate an eagle that can soar into the sky.

When Ran Bin entered the territory of Xiangyang again, he was deeply shocked by the prosperity of Xiangyang, which made Ran Bin unable to calm down for a long time.Since the Yongjia Rebellion, the Central Plains have been lost, and the Han people have become "two-legged sheep" with different Hu. Both the economy and the population in the north have been greatly damaged. The closer the Wei State is to the north, the smaller the population. phenomenon is very common.Although the State of Wei has tried its best to develop restorative construction in recent years, and the transaction has been very significant, the only problem that cannot be completely solved is the population problem.

The area to the south of Xiangyang was very limited by the influence of the Wuhu chaos. A large number of northern Han people moved south to avoid disaster, and there were not a few people who stayed in Jingxiang.Therefore, when entering Xiangyang, the population has changed greatly compared to the north, no matter in the city or in the countryside.

The population is the second, and the other is the wealth of the people in Xiangyang.Yecheng is located in the north of the Yellow River. Under the influence of the Wei court, the common people live a simple life. They usually wear linen as shirts, and silk brocade rarely appears in the homes of ordinary people.But in the Xiangyang area, due to the prosperous business of the Wei State, the silkworm manufacturing industry in Jingxiang is very developed. After almost every family has settled down for food, their clothing has obviously improved.

After passing Xiangyang, among the farmlands that appear on both sides of the road, there is hardly any abandoned land. Villages of all sizes are dotted here, and the rising smoke can be seen from a distance. A large number of ordinary people are in the fields. Whether they are working, or chatting and laughing, although they are very busy, they have satisfied smiles on their faces. What is even more strange to Ran Tan is that almost every household here has cattle, and many families have pigs, sheep and sheep in front of and behind their yards. Chicken and duck, through observation, Ran Tan found that the fixed assets of almost every family in Xiangyang are basically more than tens of millions of dollars.

Speaking of the feudal era in later generations, it is undoubtedly the Song Dynasty that created the most splendid civilization, but there were still very few families with rich families in that era.However, in this era, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian have not been effectively developed, and there is no saying that Huguang is well-developed in the world, but in terms of economic prosperity, Jingzhou is still the most prosperous state in the world.Here is not only rich in various mineral resources, but also rich in water resources. As long as the policies are in place and there are no corrupt officials, the people can create amazing wealth with their hardworking hands.

Although the northern part of the Wei Kingdom has been greatly restored, a lot of arable land is barren. There is no way to do it. At this time, agriculture cannot be mechanized at all. It is very hard for a grown man to manage [-] mu of land.The state of Wei still didn't have enough people to reclaim the wastelands in the north and central plains.Jingxiang's wealth gave Ran Bin a full understanding.
