Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 229 Preparations for the Northern Expedition
The Tianzun organization has done some dirty tricks to the Imperial City Division from time to time in recent years, and has also helped the Martial Arts Alliance to hide it!

Of course, the main reason is that the Song Empire has been in chaos in recent years.

Most of the Imperial City Division's energy is focused on the various anti-kings, and there are not many manpower to pay attention to others!
Otherwise, no matter how low-key the Martial Arts Alliance is, it is impossible for the Imperial City Division to not be aware of such a huge organization.

As time passed by little by little.

In order to cover up the Martial Arts Alliance's final actions.

The Tianzun organization used its wealth and started a large-scale attack on the Imperial City Division in an open and honest manner.

The Imperial City Division was caught off guard, and dozens of strongholds were destroyed by the Tianzun organization.

Since the founding of the Song Empire and the establishment of the Imperial City Division, has it never suffered such a big loss?

As a result, the furious senior officials of the Imperial City Division began to mobilize manpower and intelligence to start a war with the Tianzun organization.

The Tianzun organization includes the Ming Cult, the Sun Moon Cult, and the Martial Arts Alliance, and they mobilize martial arts masters to provide constant support.On the contrary, the fight with the Imperial City Division was back and forth!

Of course, both parties suffered huge losses!
The two parties who are really fighting now don't care about anything else!
The armies of the Great Song Dynasty were engaged in battles one after another, and undercurrents were surging in the rivers and lakes!
However, the imperial capital is still prosperous with singing and dancing, and seems to be a completely different world from the chaotic world!
No one knows, and no one cares, that in the huge imperial capital, many properties have changed owners in just a few years!
These industries include restaurants, shops, manors, etc.!

Although the industries are different, the only similarity is that these industries are close to various city gates in the imperial capital!

In fact, not only the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty, there were strongholds of the Martial Arts Alliance in all major cities and important passes in the Song Empire!

These strongholds are the internal support prepared by the Martial Arts Alliance for the army's Northern Expedition!

It's just that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is extremely important, so he is more prepared!
With the support of the Ming Empire, the Martial Arts League did not lack manpower. Therefore, the Martial Arts League's strongholds in various parts of the Song Empire continued to gather manpower!
The increase of one, two, three or five people at a time will not attract the attention of others at all!
In October of the tenth year of Xiaokang, Zhu Qi secretly went north!
Gu'an City!
A small town that is barely marked on the map!

This small city was originally a semi-abandoned city. Because of its remote location and close to the border, there were not many people living in the city except for the old, weak, sick and disabled!

After the Ming Empire prepared for the Northern Expedition, this small town became the headquarters of the Central Army!

The small town is extremely remote, with few people walking around.

Now, the few villages within a radius of more than ten miles have been replaced by Jinyiwei's manpower. As for the people in the original small towns and villages, they have been moved away by Jinyiwei!

The Ming Empire arranged six Northern Expedition army stations like Gu'an City!

County government!

Zhu Qi looked at the high-spirited Northern Expedition army generals gathered and felt quite emotional!

Back then, I deceived Dao Yan with the idea of ​​unifying China just to win over Dao Yan, a great talent. As for my thoughts on unifying China, I just paid lip service to it!

I didn’t expect that the joke I made back then actually came true!

After collecting his thoughts, Zhu Qi began to make plans for his Northern Expedition!

"The Korean father is here!"

"Come back to the commander-in-chief, Li Shanchang is here!" Looking at Li Shanchang with white beard and hair, Zhu Qi said softly: "Mr. Han Han, you are the founding hero of the country. You are mature and prudent. You will be responsible for the food, grass and baggage of the Northern Expedition this time!"

"In addition, after the imperial capital of the Song Empire is captured, the prince will sit in charge of the Song Empire and stabilize the situation of the Song Empire! You will assist the prince in handling all government affairs within the territory of the Song Empire!"

"Mr. Han Han, the empire needs the territory of the Song Dynasty to be stabilized in the shortest possible time, you understand!"

"I understand, I will help the prince and live up to the commander's trust!"

Zhu Qi smiled and said: "The political affairs in the territory of the Song Dynasty Empire are heavy. Some Song Dynasty officials can be retained in the early stage. However, each ministry, city, and pass must have people from the empire!"

Li Shanchang nodded: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely help the prince to deal with it properly!"

Regarding the government affairs of the Song Empire, Zhu Qi just mentioned a few words!

Li Shanchang is a veteran who started his career following Emperor Hongwu, and his control over chaotic situations is definitely at the ceiling level.Back then, when Emperor Hongwu raised his army, government affairs were much more difficult than they are now!Li Shanchang still handled it in an orderly manner!
You know, this is the only person who was granted the title of Duke as a civil servant when the Ming Empire was founded!
After instructing Li Shanchang, Zhu Qi turned to Zhu Xiongying and said: "Prince, you are not allowed to step into the territory of the Song Dynasty before the army conquers the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty!"

How could Zhu Xiongying dare to show his teeth to Zhu Qi? Although he was a little reluctant in his heart, under Zhu Qi's burning eyes, he could only nod in agreement!
"In addition, during this Northern Expedition to the Imperial Capital of the Song Dynasty, you will be traveling with the Korean Duke. You should listen to the Korean Duke's opinions on all matters."

Without waiting for the prince's reply, Zhu Qi turned to Xin Guogong and said: "Xin Guogong, after the army from the middle route captures the Song Dynasty Imperial Capital, you will lead the troops to escort the prince and South Korea's Duke north to the Song Dynasty Imperial Capital!"

"Then, with the crown prince as the main leader, the Northern Expedition Army, the Song Dynasty Camp, was formed in the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty Camp was in charge of all military and political affairs within the territory of the Song Dynasty. Its main task was to quickly conquer, stabilize and conquer all the territories of the Song Dynasty."

"The administrative affairs of the Song Dynasty were in charge of the Han Dynasty, and the military affairs were in charge of the Xinguo Gong!"

"Tanghe takes the order!"

"Mr. Xin Guo, for the three armies of the Northern Expedition, I can only give you the right army to conquer various parts of the Song Empire. In addition, the three armies of the Martial Arts Alliance and the Song Empire will also cooperate with you! You have a heavy burden!"

Tang He nodded slightly and said: "Commander, don't worry, the right army will definitely push across the territory of the Song Dynasty!"

Zhu Qi nodded and said nothing more!

Tang He was the brother of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was also a hero who fought all the way from the army. If his cultivation had not exceeded the level of the Grand Master, I am afraid that Tang He's reputation might not be much lower than that of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun!
In these years, Tang He has been sitting in the east of the Song Dynasty Empire, commanding the army to confront the Tang Empire. Needless to say, his abilities are great!

After arranging the right army, Zhu Qi looked at Xu Da and Zhu Wenzheng!

These two are the gods of war of the Ming Empire, and they are also rare talents in the world!
"Wei Guogong, King Jingjiang, and the central army are the key to this Northern Expedition. They have the heaviest task. You two can have confidence."

"Commander, don't worry, the army in the middle will definitely attack the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty, and we will never let you down!" Xu Da said decisively!

Although Zhu Wenzheng did not speak, his face was firm and confident, obviously full of confidence!
Zhu Qi: "The Central Route Army took King Jingjiang as the vanguard and led [-] cavalry to clear the way for the army; Wei Guogong led the main force of the army to accompany him! In this Northern Expedition, the Central Route Army went north on December [-], the tenth year of Xiaokang. I gave the Central Route Army ten The Central Route Army must arrive at the Imperial Capital of the Song Dynasty on Sunday!"

Hearing this, Xu Da and Zhu Wenzheng looked at each other and saw the troubled look in each other's eyes!

Army operations are no less cumbersome than others!

Although the mainland of China has a martial arts heritage and the soldiers are very strong, the border is more than 500 miles away from the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty. Even the two great military geniuses Xu Da and Zhu Wenzheng were embarrassed during the 150-mile daily march!
