Chapter 241 Swallowing the Song Dynasty (2)

Xiaokang's tenth year, early December!
After Emperor Xiaokang hurriedly explained many matters to the prince, he set off northward!The Song Empire has been conquered. If Emperor Xiaokang arrives at the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty as soon as possible, the situation of the Song Empire will be stabilized as soon as possible!
The prince Zhu Xiongying stayed in the Ming Dynasty imperial capital, sitting in the Daye Pavilion and the cabinet, presiding over the mobilization of resources, and assisting Emperor Xiaokang in preparing for the empire to swallow up the Song Empire in the shortest possible time!

Everyone is busy!

Emperor Hongwu, who returned to the imperial capital, was sitting back and watching the storm, quite leisurely!

When Emperor Hongwu returned to the imperial capital, Zhang Sanfeng had been ordered to come to the imperial capital and wait for many days!
Originally, as Zhang Sanfeng was a land god, Emperor Hongwu would never be able to summon him to the imperial capital with an edict!But the terrifying energy left behind by Zhu Qi in that imperial edict frightened Zhang Sanfeng so much that he had to come to the imperial capital!

Whether the Ming Dynasty royal family has land gods or not is a completely different concept!What's more, what about such a terrifying land god?
Xiaoyaozi from the Ming Empire, who was forced to come by Zhu Qi and Emperor Hongwu, was still a little unhappy at first, but after being dragged by Emperor Hongwu to discuss things with Zhang Sanfeng for a few days, he no longer had any resentment in his heart!
Zhang Sanfeng is a Taoist genius that is rare to see in a thousand years;
Emperor Hongwu had the inheritance of the ancient Emperor Yu in hand, had the spirit to practice secret techniques, and had unparalleled combat power;
Xiaoyaozi has lived for hundreds of years and has extensive knowledge!
The three of them discussed martial arts and learned from each other's strengths, and they all gained a lot!

For Xiaoyaozi, who has lived for hundreds of years, nothing is more important than improving his cultivation and extending his lifespan!

As for the Song Dynasty Empire, Zhao Kuangyin originally snatched it from the hands of orphans and widowed mothers, and now it was snatched away by others. It is also a natural cycle!What's more, the Ming Empire did not use force against the Song royal family, and Zhao Kuangyin (Xiaoyaozi) didn't even care!

Xiaoyaozi was very interested in discussing Taoism, and Zhang Sanfeng was also very happy!

Although Zhang Sanfeng is a martial arts wizard, all he has learned is self-enlightenment.

Since being promoted to land immortal, Zhang Sanfeng has not accumulated enough.Therefore, although Zhang Sanfeng often retreats in these years, he has not gained much!During these days of discussing Taoism with Emperor Hongwu and Xiaoyaozi, Zhang Sanfeng gained the most among the three!After all, Zhang Sanfeng’s understanding is really amazing!

If the world of China Continent hadn't restricted Zhang Sanfeng, his achievements would have been absolutely astonishing!
Among the three, the one who gained the least was none other than Emperor Hongwu!
Not long after Emperor Hongwu broke through the land gods, he also had a complete cultivation method. The discussion between three people was just the icing on the cake for Emperor Hongwu!

As time went by, the Ming Empire invested more and more power in the territory of the Song Dynasty!The actions of the Ming Empire can no longer be hidden!It is simply impossible for an empire to annex another empire silently!
But the strange thing is that no matter the emperor, the royal family, the Imperial City Department, or the Privy Council, they all pretended not to know anything about the invasion of the Ming Empire!The emperor just blindly stirred up trouble in the court and hunted down the civil servant group!

As Xu Da led his cavalry to take over the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty and incorporated the imperial army, there was no news of the invasion of the Ming Empire in the court!Everyone is very secretive about the Ming Empire and dare not mention it at all!
There are many smart people in the civil service group.

Although the civil service group was disrupted by the major case at first, as time went by and the news of the Ming Empire sending troops was confirmed, the civil service group quickly realized that something was wrong!

Hundreds of years after the Song Empire was founded, the Zhao and Song royal families had never dealt harshly with the civil service group!Even if the civil service group fails in the party struggle, the most it can do is to be demoted to the local government!Now, the emperor's ruthless methods are not like Zhao Song's style at all!On the contrary, it looks like the style of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Although the civil servants noticed something strange, no one dared to challenge the emperor, or the Ming Empire!

The current situation of the Song Empire is that it is obvious that the Ming Empire has silently controlled the empire and regards the Song royal family as a puppet!The civil servants of the Ming Empire, which has such terrifying methods, do not want to seek death!The emperor of the Ming Empire would never show mercy when it came to killing people!

In addition, the Ming Empire's methods also frightened the civil servant group!
The Song Empire was under the control of land gods!
The Ming Empire dared to act like this, but what about the land god of the Song Empire? ?

Think carefully!

Xiaokang's tenth year, the end of December!
Under the escort of Xinguo Gong Tang He, Emperor Xiaokang Zhu Biao came to the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty!

Under the command of Zhu Qi, the Ming Empire's northward army has gained a lot in more than a month!
The first is the most powerful frontier army!
The Song border army on the border of the Xixia Empire was quickly conquered and annexed by the Northern Route Army under the powerful oppression of the Ming Empire's Northern Army and the imperial edict of the Song Emperor!

Although the Khitan Empire and the Song Dynasty border army on the border of the Jin Empire were the strongest, King Zhu Wenzheng of Jingjiang had an imperial edict from the Song Emperor. Under his hard and soft tactics, the Song Dynasty border army on the border between the two countries also quickly surrendered!Of course, it may take some time and means for the Ming Empire to completely bring these Song border troops back!
After taking down the Song Dynasty border army, Zhu Qi felt relieved a little!
The frontier army of the Song Empire was the most powerful army in the Song Dynasty, and it was also the mainstay of the Song Dynasty's territory in defending against the eastward advance of the Three Kingdoms on the grasslands!As long as the Song Dynasty's border troops remained motionless, the Ming Empire would have enough time to clean up the situation in the Song Dynasty's territory!
In the current territory of the Song Dynasty, apart from the border troops, the most powerful ones are the three armies that encircled and suppressed Fangla, Wang Qing, and Tian Hu!

These three armies were all led by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty's confidants. After all, these three armies were in the hinterland of the Song Empire, and the emperor could not trust others.Because of this, it is extremely easy to conquer these three armies!The emperor transferred back the commander-in-chief of the three armies with just one transfer order!Then, the three armies were taken over by the generals of the Ming Empire!

Xu Da was sitting in the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty, commanding the imperial army to take over the cities in the Song Dynasty territory, and at the same time reorganizing and training the army in the Song Dynasty territory!
Now, the Ming Empire's army in the Song Dynasty has rapidly expanded!

In addition to the 10 cavalry led by Xu Da stationed in the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty, the five armies that originally swept across the Song Dynasty have now split into twelve armies.

Every time the army of the Ming Empire arrived at a city, they would mobilize all the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty stationed in the city and let them move with the army!As for the original defense of the city, it was mainly garrisoned by soldiers and horses from the Ming Empire!
The Imperial Army and Xiang Army mobilized from these cities were quickly dispersed, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, and incorporated into the Empire's five-pronged army!
Because there were too many Imperial and Xiang troops that surrendered, Xu Da had to expand the original five-pronged army into twelve!Otherwise, the army will be too bloated and not conducive to command!
In addition to the Twelve Route Army that was surrendered and expanded by the Ming Dynasty, the elites of the Martial Arts Alliance were organized into an army by Xu Da and Dao Yan. Led by Xin Qiji, they quickly moved north to take over the northernmost defense line of the Song Dynasty!
Although there were not many wars in the northern part of the Song Empire, there were two huge and powerful empires further north, the Qin Empire and the Xiongnu Empire!
