The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 794 The Germination of Ming Ting Hawks Expansionism

In the second year of the Ming Dynasty, June [-]rd, Pingdan.

Xu An was basically aware of the situation in Fanyang, the news of Yuan Shao's death was not a secret, it had already been disseminated and removed.

In most areas of Fanyang City, there are only a small number of remnants of the Wei army left. Most of them are wounded soldiers, unable to move. The rest of the people have already fled Fanyang, but they have no way to leave Fanyang , they were abandoned in Fanyang, waiting to die.

However, the government offices in Fanyang City are still occupied by Wei Jun.

The Wei troops stationed here are all wearing iron armor. They are all wearing sharp clothes. There are a large number of crossbowmen standing beside the courtyard wall. There are also watchtowers built as guards in the government office. A strong attack, in such a narrow place, without knowing the situation in the government office, will inevitably cause heavy losses.

The Ming army entered Fanyang City at the second watch. After Xu An received the report, he ordered the Ming army who entered the city to bypass the government office, but set up sufficient troops around the city for security, and it was not suitable for fighting at night.

The defenders had the upper hand in the battle of fortifications, and it was very strange that the Wei army was left in Fanyang City. Most of them had fled, but this one remained.

To be cautious, Xu An was going to wait until daytime to check on Wei Jun in the Fanyang government office.

As one yellow flag after another was planted on the city wall of Fanyang City, the Ming army of the brigade also marched into the city.

Ninety percent of Fanyang City has been occupied by the Ming army, and the walls and gates on all sides have been taken over by the Ming army.

The dwellings in Fanyang City were ten rooms and five empty, and many households were overtaken by Wei Jun to the city wall as civilian husbands, or as a supplementary source of soldiers, and were pushed into this cruel tug-of-war.

There were traces of looting in many places. When the Ming army entered Fanyang City, many places in Fanyang City were still on fire. It took the Ming army a lot of time to rescue and put out the fire.

Although the original Wei army recruited civilian husbands, it still retained basic military discipline and was not too presumptuous.

After Yuan Shao's death, the cloud of defeat fell on the heads of all the Wei troops. They took advantage of the Han and Ming armies fighting outside Fanyang City, and took the opportunity to escape from Fanyang City. When they escaped from Fanyang City, some of them Wei Jun ransacked the houses, looted property, and even set fire to the houses to cover up the crimes he had committed.

This act later spread among the Wei army.

The entire prosperous North City was devastated. When the Ming army entered the city, the North City and West City were almost completely destroyed, and most of the people fled to the relatively safe East City.

To the east was the area occupied by the Han army, and most of the Wei army fled to the north and west.

The order of the entire Fanyang City was basically stabilized until the fifth watch and Pingdan.

The east is getting brighter and the sun is rising.

The sun rose in the distance, and the golden light broke through the layers of clouds and radiated towards the four directions.

Gentle sunlight fell on the outside of Fanyang City.

Just above the fields in the southern suburbs of Fanyang City, many soldiers in white clothes, masks, and yellow scarves were walking on the battlefield.

The blood had already solidified, but the strong smell of blood still did not dissipate.

Those Ming soldiers in white clothes were the ones in the Ming army who specialized in cleaning the battlefield. They rescued the survivors, sent the undead enemies into the places they had already entered, collected weapons and armor, and cleaned up the remains.

In order to avoid the plague, they all have to carry out tasks under the command of the military doctor of the army.

Xu An raised his left hand and opened his palm.

The sun was shining on his palm, and a slight warmth flowed slowly from his palm to his heart.

Xu An's expression was slightly gloomy, he didn't feel comfortable because of the sunny day.

He can still feel the warm sunshine now, but the many soldiers who followed him are trapped in eternal nothingness, they have no chance to observe the world with their eyes, and they have no way to go Feel the warm sunshine.

Xu An withdrew his gaze, and cast it again to Fanyang City not far in front of him.

The road to Fanyang City has been cleared in advance, and the army has to pass through the official road when entering the city, so this is the first place to clean up when cleaning the battlefield.

Even in a victorious war, the victor still needs to pay a price, and countless people will die.

The victor does cheer loudly when he wins, celebrating his hard-earned victory.

But after the cheers, I found that the old robe has turned into a cold corpse, and found that the old friend has closed his eyes forever, such pain will make everyone silent.

Holding the reins, Xu An slowly led the horse under his seat forward.

A group of soldiers of Tengxiang Guard behind him, Xu An Huanwei, took the central position and followed Xu An closely.

Victory doesn't come without a price.

In the Battle of Fanyang, although the main forces of the Han and Wei armies were defeated, the war was not over yet. The Han court still occupied the six prefectures of Yan, Qing, Yu, Yang, Jiao, and Jing south of the Yellow River, and still resisted. Ability.

Those aristocratic families will never tolerate Taipingdao's domination of the world. They will use all means and thought to eliminate Taipingdao.

They are naturally on the opposite side of Taipingdao, and now Taipingdao represents the interests of ordinary people, not the interests of aristocratic families.

Education is no longer exclusive to the tyrannical families like them, and being an official is not to see one's background, but to see real talents and real learning.

Forest farms, lakes, mines, land, everything they own will be collected by Pacific Road.

Even slavery is no longer legal, and it is strictly prohibited by the Taiping Dao. Although it is not directly banned across the board, it is still fundamental.

Taipingdao will send eagle wolf guards to ask the slaves what they think. If they want to be free, no one can stop them, and they will be restored to freedom.

It is no longer allowed to buy and sell people by any means. Buying and selling people is a felony in Taiping Road.

If the slaves are not all disbanded, the remaining slaves will be heavily taxed.

The right to be an official and the right to own slaves are all deprived, and those land properties will also be deprived. What's more terrifying is that they will be liquidated for their previous crimes.

The Taipingdao used to be relatively restrained, but the current Taipingdao is already ostentatious, making no secret of its purpose.

The reform of the land has become the program of the Taiping Dao, and the world will be invented.

The aristocratic families in Zhongzhou and Bingzhou have already been subdued by the Taiping Road, and the aristocratic families in Bingzhou are as afraid of Xu An as they are of a tiger. When they first met Xu An, they could only walk on their knees.

Because of Hao Zhao and Zhang Liao, the two great families of the Bingzhou, the Hao family and the Zhang family, also joined the Taiping Dao. Although they lost a lot of benefits, they saved the family.

Most of the powerful families in Zhongzhou with a little more power followed Huangfusong, Wang Yun and others to Nanyang County.

The rest of the aristocratic families didn’t have much energy at all. After Xu An moved the capital to Chang’an, the large troops of the Ming army were stationed in the border of Zhongzhou, and Chang’an was expanded, so that Taipingdao’s control over Zhongzhou was even higher than that of Bingzhou. All powerful families were killed.

All the powerful families in Yizhou have also given in, because most of the powerful families in Yizhou surrendered voluntarily, so Xu An still relaxed some irrelevant requirements as appropriate, but forest farms and mines were still banned, and the land was also destroyed. Charged the bulk.

And gave up part of the benefits, allowing the aristocratic families in Yizhou to raise silkworms and weave brocades, and participate in the trade in the Western Regions.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

In the battle of Chengdu, the backbone of the entire powerful family in Yizhou was completely broken. The military parade at the founding ceremony of Chang'an was even more frightening for all the powerful families. They couldn't even beat Liu Yan. Ming army?

As for Liangzhou, the dissatisfied aristocratic families in Liangzhou have all disappeared in the long river of history, and the rest of the aristocratic families are basically tied to Taipingdao.

The land in many places in Liangzhou is not suitable for farming. They don’t have much land. They are located in the cold and far away from the political center. , the fourth choice besides Dong Zhuo, and a chance to enter the political center of the country.

The Liangzhou scholars headed by Yan Zhong placed almost all bets on Xu An.

And Liangzhou’s aristocratic and powerful families basically rarely bully the local villagers. Most of Liangzhou is a mixture of Han and Qiang. There are far fewer regions. In the public trial held by the Eagle Wolf Guard in Liangzhou, there were far fewer criminals from aristocratic and powerful families investigated and dealt with than in the other three states.

Now a group of powerful families in Liangzhou have obtained the permission to trade in the Western Regions. Not only have they not lost much of their interests, but they have also gained more things.

The re-established Protectorate of the Western Regions gave them another way to make money.

Among the four Ming court factions, the old Taipingdao faction had the most far-reaching military influence, but politically it was led by the Liangzhou faction.

The Liangzhou faction is the most steadfast in supporting Ming Court's expansion and unification of the world, and they are even more radical than the old Taipingdao faction.

What the generals and officials of the old Taipingdao line sought was to liberate the world, unify the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, establish the world of Huangtian, and make the world peaceful.

But the Liangzhou faction was not satisfied with this. The battles in Monan and the Western Regions made them feel like sharks smelling blood and saw benefits.

With Monan's victory, the entire Monan pasture became Ming Ting's official pasture, and they also obtained the right to use the pasture.

The hegemony of Monan makes their caravans unimpeded in the whole of Monan. Apart from worrying about the Xianbei and the Huns, they don’t even need to worry about the existence of horse bandits. Mingting’s official caravan flag is the best guard.

In the entire Monan, no tribe or bandit dared to challenge the majesty of the Ming army.

Once a small tribe robbed the caravan of the Liangzhou Wang family in Wu'an County, which was newly established in Liangzhou. As Xu An's wife clan, and the caravan holding the official trade flag was ready to rob, the Eagle Wolf Guard soon Found traces of the tribe.

The Ming army dispatched more than [-] cavalry and crushed the tribe the next day. All the looters were beheaded, and the rest were incorporated into the sequence of labor reform.

Guo Tai reopened the Protectorate of the Western Regions, opened up trade routes, and opened up a way to make money for them.

The war between the Western Regions and Monan gave them a taste of the sweetness, and the people who went to the Western Regions brought them a piece of news about Guishuang and Dawan.

Dawan's famous horses and Guishuang's utensils, they can easily exchange tea, silk, ceramics and other items from their hands for a lot of wealth.

It is said that in the West, gold and silver are everywhere, and the transactions between them are even directly traded with gold and silver as currency.

They even came up with ideas about the plateau in the southwest. The map remade by Xu An described the situation there in detail. He learned of the existence of Cordyceps sinensis, and also learned that there were many residents on it, and The existence of some precious animals, fur has always been extremely expensive.

In the current Ming court, there are no doves at all, only hawks.

The casualties caused by the successive years of war did not make the people in the country feel disgusted.

From the very beginning, Xu An has made it very clear that he has been promoting one thing, why they are fighting and why they are fighting.

The people under the jurisdiction of Taipingdao also understood one thing under Fu Zhu's evangelism. Everything they enjoy now is precisely because of the fighting soldiers on the front line, and it is precisely because of their struggle and support, not because of any Human charity, anyone's kindness.

The liberation of the world was bought by blood staining China.

The idea of ​​public trial and Taipingdao, land reform, brought most of the people together.

They understood that there are no nobles and nobles in this world at all. It is not the common sense of the world for those powerful families to be superior, and it should not be taken for granted that they are inferior.

The mobilization order issued by Xu An did not cause backlash and dissatisfaction among the people, but support that flew like snowflakes.

After receiving the mobilization order for food requisition, almost all the people in Bingzhou came to support them with the food stored at home. They even took the initiative to transport the food to the car. Originally, Huang Long was worried about the shortage of food and grass, and the boiling of the people, but everything he worried about did not happen. occur.

Even the food supplied to the Mobei army has been replenished, and there is no longer any shortage.

The Taipingdao policy aroused a strong reaction from the powerful families in the Han and Wei Dynasties.

But how?

The momentum of the Taiping Dao is like a fire burning in the original place, so it cannot be approached.

This raging fire has already been ignited, and everything that was old will be burned. The remnants of the old era, the old aristocrats who have never changed, will be submerged in the torrent of history along with the times.

The entire county of Hanoi County has been liberated, and the northern part of Zhongshan County, the central part and the northern part of Changshan County have all been liberated by the Taihang Ming Army and the Ming Army of the two counties.

The main forces of the Han and Wei armies in Wei County collapsed, Wei Ting has collapsed, Yuan Tan is now in Jizhou Bohai County, Yuan Xi is now in Youzhou, and only Yuan Shang is in Yecheng.

Yecheng has been surrounded from all sides, even if the judge and the remnant army fled back to Yecheng, there is nothing they can do.

Wei Ting's downfall is an inevitable result.

On the official road outside Fanyang City, there are still a lot of bloodstains left, and on both sides are corpses in disorder.

Xu An raised his head and looked at the dilapidated Fanyang City ahead.

Those who travel hundreds of miles, half ninety, have not yet won the final victory, it is far from the time to stop, and it is not yet the time to be sentimental.

Undercurrents surged in Taipingdao, and with the innovation of ideas, various new trends of thought also emerged.

New challenges and choices have been placed in front of Taipingdao.
