Chapter 147 No matter what, 80 vs. 60, the advantage is mine! (asking for monthly ticket)
On February [-]th, Emperor Yuan visited the imperial city, and various rebel armies attacked the capital. In one battle, they captured and killed Emperor Timur of the Yuan Dynasty and Prince Yuan.

The capital fell, all directions were shaken, rebels from the north and the south rose up, and the rule of the Yuan Dynasty entered a countdown.

In late February, after learning that the capital had been captured by Xu Xin, the Maitreya Sect, a branch of Mingjiao led by Buddhist monk Budai, decided to revolt in advance. This time, the momentum was even greater than the Banghu uprising in previous years.

Due to the Yuan Dynasty's control of the Yellow River, hundreds of thousands of migrant workers were forced to build embankments.

Han Shantong, the leader of the Mingjiao [-]st branch, used Maitreya methods to take the opportunity to fabricate the folk song "The stone man with one eye will instigate rebellion in the Yellow River" and it was widely circulated.

When Su Bubu, Han Shantong, Liu Futong and others learned of the news, they dug out the one-eyed stone man in the Yellow River the next day. The rebels raised their voices and attracted tens of thousands of supporters.

Han Shantong and Liu Futong called themselves General He and belonged to the Ming King Xu Xin who conquered Dadu.A wave of rebels with red scarves on their heads swept across the northern land.

At this time, the world was in chaos, and news of rebel uprisings would be heard from time to time, but most of them only caused chaos in the south, and things were relatively stable north of the Yellow River.

Precisely because there had been peace north of the Yellow River for a long time, the local prefectures and counties were not well-defended. When the Red Scarf Army moved north, the governors of various prefectures and counties did not dare to resist at all, and most of them abandoned the city and fled.Wherever the red scarf goes, it is invincible.

After receiving Xu Xin's order, the northern rebels such as Han Shantong, Liu Futong and others quickly moved northward. In just ten days, they had captured many cities and all the units under the Red Scarf Army had great victories.

Li Wu and Cui De captured Shangzhou and conquered Wuguan to plot Guanzhong.

Maogui captured Jiao, Lai, Yidu, and Binzhou, and most of the counties in Shandong were captured.

Liu Futong led his army to attack Bianliang and captured Daming. Then he set out from Cao and Pu to capture Weihui.

Bai Buxin, Dadao Ao, and Li Xixi captured Xingyuan and entered Fengxiang.

Tian Feng also captured Dongping, Jining, Dongchang, Yidu, Guangping and Shunde.

……

Among the rebels along the way, Mao Gui's troops who entered Shandong made the most progress. He defeated local Yuan soldiers several times, captured Qingzhou and Cangzhou, occupied Changlu Town, and then captured Jinan. He led his troops north to capture Jizhou and invaded Miaozhou, capture Liulin, and take over Dadu.

When Mao Gui's rebel army established contact with Dadu, Xu Xin in the capital finally breathed a sigh of relief.The northern rebels are making good progress, forming a line from the Yellow River to Dadu. Even if there are still dissatisfied local armed forces in various places, they will hardly become a threat.

The northern rebels are making good progress. They are connected from the Yellow River to Dadu, and important places such as Guanzhong and Xanadu are also under the front of the rebels.

Xu Xin summoned the rebel leaders from all over the north to gather in Dadu, mobilized elite troops from various ministries to replace the original guards in Dadu, and after thoroughly clearing the hidden dangers, he took advantage of the situation and declared to the world that he would be King Ming, and personally led an army to attack the rebels in various parts of the north.

Before the six factions besieged Guangmingding last year, chaos broke out in the southeast. A group of generals headed by Chahan, King of Ruyang, led the northern elite troops south to quell the chaos. This was also a key reason why the north was empty and easily swept away by the rebels.

Most of them had troops that could fight, but the most capable ones all went south to suppress the rebels. At this time, knowing the news of the great changes in the north, the Yuan armies in the south also had other thoughts.

Rebels from all walks of life in the south rose up in response to the north, and the various forces sent by the imperial court to quell the rebellion were roughly under the jurisdiction of three tribes.Chahan, the king of Ruyang, is the strongest among them. There are also Polo Timur, the political minister of Zhongshu Pingzhang, and Li Siqi, the general of the Yuan Dynasty of the Han Dynasty in the north.

There are hundreds of thousands of people from these three groups, but the imperial court sent them separately in the first place just to keep the three groups in check, so they all have their own conflicts.

However, when news of the great changes in the north came, Chahan Timur, the king of Ruyang, and Polo Timur, the political minister of Zhongshu Pingzhang, both chose to lead their troops northward, hoping to regain most of the capital and reestablish the center to extend the life of the Yuan court.

Li Siqi, the Han Yuan general in the north, had an ambiguous attitude. When the two "Timur" ministers negotiated to join forces and go north, several "rebel armies" around him suddenly broke out on the offensive. Li Siqi had no choice but to send troops to fight hard. Yang Kou Zizhong was finally figured out by him.

When the news came that Chahan and Polo, the two Timurs, had joined forces and returned to the north, Xu Xin, who was in Dadu, immediately ordered the rebels from the Mingjiao faction in the south to dispatch, ordering them to delay for three months no matter what.

Chahan and Polo's rebel army Dai Su went north, saying that they wanted to avenge the Yuan royal family. They were out-and-out "mourning troops". If they could really go north to regain Dadu with overwhelming force, it would really be possible to defeat the central government of the Yuan Dynasty. Now that the imperial court has been established, it will be much more difficult to completely destroy the Yuan court.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.It is true that the mourning soldiers will win, but if it is continued to be delayed, the courageous spirit of mourning and bravery will be exhausted.

It is similar to the people who boasted about the destruction of China in three months in the last century. Once they are slowed down and unable to complete their lies, they will end up in a situation of self-destruction.

Therefore, Xu Xin strictly ordered all the Mingjiao rebels in the south to hold back the Yuan army and not send a single soldier across the Yellow River.

Xu Xin's victory in the north greatly inspired the rebels in the south. The rebels from Jiangnan Tianying Sect, Huaibei Zhu Yuanzhang, Jiangxi Xu Shouhui and other rebels naturally did not dare to neglect the orders of the leader. The footsteps of the Yuan army.

If this had been a few months ago, the Yuan army would have been so happy to see the rebels fighting like this with them, but now, even if the Yuan army is progressing smoothly and has defeated the invading rebels many times, The two "Timurs" Chahan and Polo were not happy either.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, a hundred days had passed since the death of Emperor Yuan Ting. A large area of ​​northern territory fell into the hands of the Ming army. The rebel armies in the south also continued to develop while fighting against the Yuan army.

Chahan and Boluo led their troops to advance into the Yellow River, but they could not go any further because Xu Xin had already led the army south to Henan, and rebels surrounded them from everywhere, trapping them.

"Informing the King of the Ming Dynasty, the Tartar King Chahan of Ruyang and Zhongshu Pingzhang Zhengshi Boluo did not forcefully cross the Yellow River in the past two days, but instead defended the city. The various ministries under their command have a total of 60 men, horses and civilians, including tens of thousands of elite soldiers. .”

"King Ming, our rebel armies from the north and south of the Yellow River are encircled. The number of mobilized troops plus the common people is more than 80. However, the Tatars have many elites. Although they have been defeated many times, they are still not in chaos. They are a hard nut to crack!"

In the camp north of the Yellow River, Shubu Bu and Peng Yingyu, the two leading military advisors of the Northern and Southern Rebels, introduced the current situation to Xu Xin respectively. Yin Tianzheng, Five Elements Flagler, Chang Yuchun, Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Shouhui and other Mingjiao leaders All present.

When Xu Xin listened to these two introductions, he couldn't help but think of something: "Anyway, 80 vs. 60, the advantage is mine!"

He couldn't help but trembled, and any trace of complacency disappeared immediately. In the past, there was no shortage of heroes with great advantages who overturned under the advantage of superior troops. Moreover, once such overturn was defeated, it would be difficult to come back.

Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi and Fu Jian in the Battle of Feishui were so high-spirited when they led their troops south, but in the end they were defeated and ruined the chance of unification. Xu Xin did not want to follow in the footsteps of these two men.
