Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 982 Rafting in Dianchi Lake

The Yuan army that followed did not dare to move forward, and the Yuan army in front was isolated and helpless, completely losing the possibility of attacking the city. The soldiers of the Ming army used rolling stones, wooden poles and forked poles to treat them, and the losses were very heavy.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people fighting, the Yuan army couldn't help but feel discouraged, and they were defeated despite the rain of arrows from the Ming army.

However, the Ming army refused to let them go, and drums sounded encouragingly on all city walls at the same time. The soldiers screamed and rushed down the city and launched a counterattack against the Yuan army!

Seeing the Ming army coming down like a tide, Shibu quickly ordered his men to fight. But how could these hastily organized miscellaneous troops be able to defeat the tiger-like Ming army descending from the mountain?

Shibu's hastily organized defense line was smashed to pieces by the Ming soldiers in a blink of an eye, like boiling soup and snow. The Ming army took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and the Yuan army was greatly defeated. More than 10,000 people were beheaded. The rest fled back to the mountains with the Yuan army generals and chieftains.

The Ming army took advantage of the situation and captured Qixing Pass, the northern gate of Usa, and renamed it Weining Pass, which means 'powerful tranquility'. Now the north and south gates of Usa are in my hands, and the Yuan army can only look forward and sigh.

Fu Youde then ordered the money to withdraw his troops and continue to build the city of Ussa. During the construction of the city, the surrounding native chieftains were watching the wind and surrendering... Those chieftains personally felt the terror of the Ming army, and then they realized that the world had changed and the Great Yuan was completely gone.

The leaders of the Wusamang tribe and other tribes no longer accompanied Shibu to watch monkeys in the mountains and forests, and took their tribesmen to withdraw their troops home. In the blink of an eye, Shibu's army of hundreds of thousands was reduced to only one third, and there were still more troops every day. A large number of deserters were no longer able to threaten the city of Uzzah.

After Fu Youde completed the construction of the city, he used Usa as his base and began to attack from all directions. He successively surrendered Dongchuan, Wumeng, Bijie, Mangbu and other places, and basically recovered northeastern Yunnan.

Of course this is half a year later.

Let’s break it down into two parts and go back to Kunming.

On the first day of the first lunar month of the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign, the bright sunshine shone on Dianchi Lake. The crystal clear lake water reflects the blue sky and white clouds, and complements the surrounding mountains, forming a beautiful landscape painting.

A magnificent painting boat, with its sparkling waves, startled a group of red-billed gulls resting on the water.

"Wow, this red-billed bird is so beautiful..." A clear female voice cheered on the boat. It was Liu Shuzhu who had been officially appointed by the imperial court as the deputy magistrate of Guizhou Xuanwei Division.

Behind her stood His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Shexiang, the envoy of Guizhou Xuanwei.

"It's not just the waterfowl that are beautiful?" Shexiang looked at the surrounding lakes and mountains intoxicated and said, "I always heard that Kunming is beautiful, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful."

"Hahaha, I am not lying to you. If you don't come to Kunming once, you will have regrets in your life!" Zhu Zhen laughed and opened his arms and said: "Kunming is like spring all year round, and there are flowers everywhere in winter. You can't find them in the entire southwest. There’s no better environment than this.”

The two girls couldn't help but nod, now knowing that the prince did not make false propaganda. I thought he was deliberately exaggerating in order to get them to follow him.

Fu Youde kept his word and indeed let Lao Liu have a New Year's Eve dinner in Kunming City.

Because the local soldiers from the east and west of the river also came to Kunming with the army as heavy supplies, so Shexiang and Liu Shuzhu also came.

The three arrived in Kunming yesterday. The first thing His Royal Highness the King of Chu did before entering the city was to order someone to carve a wooden plaque with the three characters "Kunming City" written on it, and cover the city gate with the three characters "Ochichi City".

Then the Prince of Chu immediately began to inspect the military camp. Although Zhu Zhen didn't know how to fight, he knew how to manage. He knew that soldiers miss their relatives more during the holidays, especially on the battlefield thousands of miles away from home. Failure to provide psychological massage to the soldiers at this time will greatly affect morale.

So he visited all the guard posts and brought rich new year goods to the soldiers. He also took the trouble to check the New Year's Eve dinner prepared by each guard for the soldiers. He was also extra merciful and distributed a jar of wine to each Xiaoqi, so that the soldiers could have wine to celebrate the New Year without causing any trouble.

It wasn't until dark that he came to the original Prince Liang's Mansion, held a celebration banquet, and invited the generals to have a happy New Year's Eve dinner together. Very hard work.

But at this age, he is at his most energetic. No matter how tired he is, he will be full of energy after sleeping. No, early this morning, I took Shexiang and Liu Shuzhu to Dianchi Lake for boating again.

The only fly in the ointment was that Hu Xian firmly disagreed with the idea of ​​His Highness personally rowing a boat and traveling with the two beauties. Gao Luo prepared a boat for him and arranged two large boats to follow him, so he could feel more at ease in terms of safety.

But if this happens, His Highness King Chu will have to restrain himself. He is also a face-conscious person and cannot let the people below him misunderstand that he is hooking up with a little widow, and there are two little widows...

So although the atmosphere was not suitable for talking about business, he decided to say a few words.

"It's just that Kunming is so beautiful, but in my eyes, it's far less beautiful than Guizhou."

"Why did your Highness say this? We in Guizhou City have nothing to offer. How can we compare with Kunming, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers and feels like spring all year round?" Shexiang said with a smile.

"With you two in Guizhou, in my eyes, it is ten times more beautiful than Kunming." Zhu Zhen looked at the two charming widows with a smile.

"Your Highness is talking nonsense again." Liu Shouzhu said with a helpless smile. She was already used to His Highness King Chu's rhetoric. Fortunately, he only talks but does not practice. Of course, this is also a bad thing.

"Why are you talking nonsense?" But I heard Lao Liu say seriously: "What Kunming and even the whole Yunnan lack most now are chieftains like you two who understand the righteousness and love the imperial court. Don't look at them competing to submit now, that's just Due to the situation, I am afraid that I will become the next target of the army. Believe it or not, I don’t know how many things will happen in the future."

"That's not true. King Liang could rule Yunnan for more than a hundred years, how could Ming Dynasty not do it?" Liu Shouzhu couldn't believe it.

"Does King Liang call it rule? Except for a few major cities such as Kunming, Qujing, and Tonghai, he can't control anywhere. More than 90% of the land and population are in the hands of the chieftains!" Zhu Zhen said in a loud voice : "It's them who have the final say whether Yunnan will be in chaos, not King Liang!"

"If you are only satisfied with the level of Liang Wang, you may live in peace in the future, but that will be at the expense of the imperial court's indifference. Everything is the chieftain who has the final say. Of course, no one has any objections to the imperial court." Zhu Zhenchen Voice:

"But in this case, does Yunnan still count as a part of the Ming Dynasty? It can be said to be part of the Ming Dynasty in peacetime, but once the world changes, it will not count!"

"The reason why King Liang was defeated so quickly is because of this! He nominally owned the entire Yunnan, but he could actually mobilize a small area the size of a palm. If he didn't have Yunnan Copper and Tea Horse to transfuse blood for him, he would have burped and caught cold. .”

"So, you think everything will be fine after conquering Kunming? No, this is just the beginning, and we are still far from completely pacifying Yunnan. There are more difficult challenges waiting for us!"
