A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 415

On top of the walled city, the chieftain's soldiers looked at the neat formation below the city, with cold sweat dripping from their heads.

There are about 10,000 Chinese soldiers below. In fact, they are at an advantage in terms of strength.

But the opponent's array of artillery made them frightened.

The artillery of the entire division has been assembled, aiming uniformly at the soldiers at the top of the city. The metal reflects the sun and is full of blood.

Among them, there is also a siege weapon, the No. 2 heavy artillery. Several soldiers carried huge cannon shells and loaded them into the barrel with great effort. The huge cannon barrel was slowly raised, and the muzzle full of destructive power was pointed straight at the city wall in front of it.

From south to north, from Jiangnan to the Central Plains, no city can withstand its power.

"This battle is of great significance. It must demonstrate the invincibility of our army and shock the chieftains and tribal leaders. Only then will the rest of the matter be easier to handle."

The division commander recalled the instructions given to him by the marshal before leaving, and suddenly felt a huge burden on his shoulders. At this time, the firepower of the entire division had been assembled. He waved his hand and issued the order:
"Start attacking!"

"put!"

"The Chinese army sent tens of thousands of troops to attack, but the resisters have been defeated!"

With the fall of the main city, other cities in his territory also surrendered to the approaching Chinese army.

Although there are still many remaining soldiers, they have basically lost the courage to resist under the terrible blows of artillery and muskets. Under the attack of the Chinese soldiers, most of them fled, and the remaining ones put down their weapons one by one and chose to surrender. .

For a moment, heaven and earth were silent.

The chieftain was captured on the spot.

The generation difference in weapons is too great. The Chinese army's firearms are already in a period of rapid development, and even flash cap guns have appeared. However, the Turkish army still still has muskets and spears in its hands. The elite level of the armies on both sides is not at the same level at all.

The frightened expressions on the soldiers' faces had not yet faded, and they suddenly felt that they had lost their center of gravity.

An overwhelming victory.

The news spread like a gust of wind to the surrounding toasts.

The chieftain who was unwilling to accept the entry of Chinese troops had more than 30,000 troops under his command. He was powerful and already among the top ranks in the local area. The Xuanwei envoy in Mubang was defeated by the rogue bandits, and the most populous and richest area was occupied by the rogue bandits. After that, among the local chieftains, those who were better than him could be counted on one hand.

Following an order from the artillery commander, the artillery on the position made a deafening roar.

The tall and solid city wall suddenly turned into rubble and collapsed.

However, within a few days, its base camp was breached. The Chinese army killed more than 3,000 Turkish soldiers at a small cost of more than 100 casualties. The terrifying elephant soldiers could only howl and run away in front of the firearms.

In less than ten days, the battle was completely over.

……

When the chieftains heard the news, they couldn't help but remain silent.

Countless cannonballs hit the city head hard, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the body was mixed with the fragments of the city saucer.

This is only the opponent's 10,000 people.

The opponent's total strength is 300,000. Of course, the chieftains' masters told them that this was a claim to have water injection. However, the masters also told them that based on the current situation, the opponent's total strength should be no less than ten. Thousands of people.

Ten thousand people are terrifying enough, and they can easily defeat more than 30,000 Turkish troops. There are more than 100,000 people now, so why fight?

At this time, most of the chieftains and tribal leaders made the right choice. They sent an envoy and after determining the corresponding conditions, they immediately chose to hand over power.

Of course, there were also chieftains and tribal leaders who were unwilling to give up their power and insisted on carrying it to the end. Qu Yuanju was no longer polite to them, and the army attacked and destroyed them.

At the end of July, various areas in the Xuanwei Division of Yuanmu State in the Ming Dynasty had basically completed the change of flags. The Chinese army entered Zhucheng, and peace gradually returned to various places.

……

Steam locomotives first brought officials and workers from the north.

In ancient times, many places failed to achieve actual control, and transportation was also a major reason. The army traveled through mountains and rivers, not only tired themselves, but also the supply lines were long and difficult, causing great financial pressure.

So the railway must be laid first.

The workers immediately started working on the railway, and the project progressed rapidly.

Officials, on the other hand, began to improve the local administrative structure and build local governments. They were very enthusiastic. During the period when this kind of government was first established, it was easiest to get promotions due to merit. Generally, after working for one or two years, if they did well, they could be promoted. .

However, there is still a certain danger in this. Not everyone is obedient. In many places, although the chieftains and tribal leaders agreed, some powerful people under their command were unwilling to give up their power, so safety still needed to be guaranteed.

Relying on the Chinese army alone is definitely not enough, especially since the main force of the Chinese army will continue to hunt down the rogue bandits.

As a result, such a situation was formed: the main troops of the Chinese army were stationed in various cities and strategic points. In other areas, squads and platoons were used as units to escort officials to the places, and then local people were organized into militia to assist the Chinese army.

Fortunately, although the regions are different, the people's hearts are similar. With land, fair treatment, and the Chinese army standing behind to support them, they immediately captured the hearts of many people, and they formed a militia under the organization of officials and tried their best to help.

If the militia fails, the Chinese army will be dispatched.

Some dissatisfied people intended to carry out subversive actions, but under such a layer-by-layer layout, they were quickly wiped out, using their blood to deter the remaining dissenters.

Under this circumstance, officials began to stabilize the local area, organize production, and began to preside over the implementation of various policies.

This process will last for quite some time.

The local government structure will also become more and more perfect.

the other side.

Luo Rucai stood on the hill, with groups of soldiers passing by with dusty faces.

The armor was damaged, the belts were crooked, and even the flags were in tatters. The faces of the rogue soldiers were full of exhaustion and dejection. Many of them were not fully equipped, and they didn't even have weapons. They had obviously lost them while escaping.

After a long journey of escape, they have now fled to the land of the Eight Hundred Dadian Military and Civilian Xuanfu Envoy.

Some other bandits had already fled. As far as he knew, Zuo Liangyu had fled further south with thousands of his men. A disaster was approaching, and it was important for everyone to save their lives.

There was not much trust and loyalty between the bandits, it was just a relationship of cooperation or even mutual selling.

He turned his head, looked northwest, and murmured to himself:

"I've already escaped here. I shouldn't be able to catch up in a short time..."
