I'm in the Red Mansion

Therefore, when she first married into the Feng family, she suffered quite a bit of humiliation.

Fortunately, when she was in Rongguo Mansion, because of her illegitimate status, she felt that she could stand on her own.

Then there is her husband Feng Ziying, who loves his wife very much.

This also meant that Tanchun's situation did not become extremely difficult.

When Jia Cong ascended the throne, the situation immediately reversed.

Because, in the blink of an eye, Tanchun became the eldest princess.

And I heard that she has a very good relationship with the emperor.

The reason why she was able to marry into the Feng family was because of the emperor.

If she went to the emperor to file a complaint, Feng Ziying might be fine, but wouldn't they all be in big trouble?

Therefore, they came to apologize to Tanchun profusely, and at the same time they deliberately flattered and please Tanchun in order to protect themselves.

Fortunately, Tanchun is a woman who understands the big picture and never abuses her power even after her status changes.

Still maintain respect for the mother-in-law, elders and sisters-in-law at home.

At this point, everyone was happy, and these people began to respect Tanchun even more.

Later, Tanchun followed Feng Ziying to the coast of the West Sea.

This time when Feng Ziying was going to the battle, he had to come and say goodbye to his wife.

After hearing this, Tanchun said worriedly, "My husband, there are other people in the court, why do you have to let you go?"

Feng Ziying couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who told you that your husband is so wise and brave, a god of war who is invincible and unbeatable?"

"When the emperor established the country, I never had a chance to show my abilities. Now the emperor has finally given me a chance to prove myself!"

"Don't worry, ma'am. I'll be fine."

Tanchun nodded, gave Feng Ziying some careful instructions, then helped him dress and saw him off.

Five days later, Feng Ziying led an army of 50,000 to issue an order.

These 50,000 troops are his direct troops.

This time, the army attacking Jiaozhi naturally involved more than 50,000 troops.

The troops in the other two counties will also be under the command of Feng Ziying at that time.

Adding together, there are at least 100,000 troops.

The army of 100,000 was enough to destroy Jiaozhi, but the number of troops was still insufficient.

However, if we add the 10,000 riflemen and 50 cannons sent by the emperor for support, it will be more than enough.

Although Feng Ziying had never seen the power of riflemen, he was still a fierce general.

After hearing about the emperor's army's invincible record, one can imagine how powerful the riflemen are.

With such firepower, if he still can't destroy Jiaozhi, he might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.

After more than ten days, Feng Ziying led his 50,000 troops to his own camp.

At this time, the troops from the two counties near Jiaozhi had all arrived.

The generals of the two armies also came to greet Feng Ziying.

Although these two armies were under the command of Feng Ziying, he could only command the generals of the two armies.

It's not as easy as commanding one's own army.

Feng Ziying could only rely on his own direct troops.

Feng Ziying naturally knew that these two armies could only fight a favorable battle.

You definitely can't count on fighting against the wind.

Otherwise, they would not have allowed Jiaozhi to occupy three cities in China.

Of course, they are capable of building roads across mountains, building bridges across rivers, ambushing, encircling and intercepting, etc.

Therefore, Feng Ziying did not put on airs.

After the welcoming ceremony, Feng Ziying asked the two for a map.

After carefully studying the terrain, he asked about the situation of the Jiaozhi army that attacked the three cities of China.

In the end, Feng Ziying discovered that these Jiaozhi troops were very arrogant.

They did not start a massacre in the city, and it seemed that they had no intention of making a complete enemy of China.

They naturally also know that China is powerful and they cannot resist it.

Therefore, they were only prepared to provoke China a little, show their strength, and then stop when they saw the opportunity.

All they want is for China to recognize their country.

It’s a pity that they thought too much.

Even if they did nothing, Jia Cong would not let them go.

What's more, they took the initiative to provoke China.

After learning about the situation, Feng Ziying was not in a hurry to attack.

Firstly, he also needed to send out scouts to fully understand the situation and know both himself and the enemy before launching a war.

Secondly, his 50,000 direct troops had traveled a long distance, so it would be better for them to have some rest.

However, when the people in Jiaozhi learned that China had sent another 50,000 troops, they were shocked at first.

Then, when he saw that there was no movement after they arrived, he felt relieved.

At this time, they believed that the Chinese must have seen their bravery and were afraid of them.

Therefore, they did not dare to attack them actively, so in the end, they would probably have to negotiate.

Sometimes, this is how small countries think.

Only when they are frightened and hurt will they be truly afraid.

Three days later, the scouts sent by Feng Ziying also brought detailed intelligence.

Then that night, Feng Ziying decisively dispatched troops.

He sent his soldiers to secretly sneak into the three cities from their weakly defended areas.

He also sent two other armies to surround and ambush them outside, trying their best to prevent any of them from getting out.

Since you dare to invade China, don't even think about escaping.

Feng Ziying's army was very brave and good at fighting.

In addition, the people of Jiaozhi were very arrogant. They did not even expect that China would dare to attack their camp under the cover of night.

Therefore, the three cities were quickly destroyed.

After the city was captured, the Jiaozhi soldiers in the city were defeated step by step under the attack of the brave and battle-hardened Huaxia army.

In the end, they had to abandon the city and flee in a panic.

However, at this time, there were still two large armies waiting for them outside.

Although these two border armies are not strong in direct combat, they will be weak when facing a strong opponent.

But they also have another attribute, which is that they become stronger when facing the weak.

They love to fight when the wind is in their favor. When the wind is in their favor, they are simply invincible.

Soon, the Jiaozhi troops in the three cities were defeated and fled in disarray.

In the end, almost all the remaining people were captured by them.

Only a few hundred people were left, and they escaped in the cover of night.

In the first battle after Feng Ziying arrived, he took all three cities occupied by Jiaozhi.

He also killed 12,000 soldiers of Jiaozhi and captured more than 7,000.

This record is quite amazing.

Feng Ziying sent a good news report to the court while continuing to organize troops and attack Jiaozhi.

As for Jiaozhi, since they had the courage to start a war - even though it was just a small war.

They must have prepared in advance.

They deployed 50,000 troops on the border, ready for battle, in order to guard against a counterattack from the Central Plains.

What they never expected was that the three cities they had just occupied were lost too quickly.

All three cities were lost overnight, with only a few hundred people escaping in panic. This loss was too great.

Therefore, this made Jiaozhi both shocked and angry.

At the same time, they are also prepared to defeat the Chinese army again and teach China a lesson.

Only when China knows how powerful they are and how formidable they are can they truly become independent.

Soon, they took advantage of the fact that the Chinese army had not yet established a firm foothold and had just arrived, and launched a brazen attack.

It’s a pity that what they saw was just what Feng Ziying wanted them to see.

In secret, Feng Ziying had made preparations.

The other two border troops had arrived early and set up an ambush early.

Moreover, the army led by Feng Ziying was already very powerful.

Feng Ziying's direct army once again defeated the Jiaozhi army.

Then, the two border troops that had been ambushed in advance rushed out decisively and killed them again.

Feng Ziying took advantage of the victory and led a large army to pursue them directly behind them and killed their way into their military camp.

At this point, the 50,000 Jiaozhi troops were completely defeated.

Feng Ziying ordered his troops to pursue with all their might.

In this battle, the 30,000 to 40,000 troops of Jiaozhi were once again wiped out.

Feng Ziying estimated that after two battles, about one-third of Jiaozhi's army was destroyed.

Jiaozhi is just a small country.

They themselves don't have any strong enemies, and their population is large.

However, the country's national strength is weak and it cannot support too many troops.

The two battles wiped out almost a third of their army.

After two battles, they were almost completely frightened.

Next, I guess I will be invincible.

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying also breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Ziying was not in a hurry. Instead, he ordered the army to rest for three days before advancing again.

Along the way, they were constantly attacked by small groups of Jiaozhi troops.

Although they didn't cause much damage, they were quite annoying.

Soon, they arrived at the first city of Jiaozhi.

This city is called Beibian City in Jiaozhi.

After resting for a day, Feng Ziying sent out his troops and began to attack the city.

Originally Feng Ziying thought that this battle would be very smooth.

Jiaozhi was defeated twice and must have been terrified by the killing.

But after actually attacking the city, Feng Ziying discovered that the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

The Jiaozhi army seemed to be unaffected and remained brave and fearless of death.

There were even women and children on their city walls helping to transport supplies for defending the city.

This discovery made Feng Ziying frown slightly.

This also made him completely put away his contempt.

I’m afraid this battle will be difficult to fight!
What Feng Ziying least wanted to encounter was this kind of brave and fearless army.

Because every point of the Warring States period you gain requires human lives.

If he wanted to completely destroy the entire Jiaozhi, the hundreds of thousands of troops he brought with him would not be enough.

The casualties will surely be heavy.

This kind of victory was naturally something Feng Ziying did not want to see.

Therefore, Feng Ziying decisively stopped the siege and waited patiently.

Moreover, he reported the situation here to the court in a timely manner.

Then they waited patiently for the arrival of rifles and artillery.

……

Although the riflemen had already set out, they took the sea route because they still had artillery and other supplies.

Therefore, their speed was relatively slow, but the information from Jiaozhi reached Jia Cong first.

When Jia Cong saw the military situation on the battlefield, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

This military intelligence made Jia Cong think of Jiaozhi in later generations.

Although the country of Jiaozhi is not big, it is really like a flat-headed brother.

After provoking the Beautiful Country, they turned around and provoked the Rabbit Country.

The country's men were almost all dead, and their women and children also began to carry guns to the battlefield.

Putting aside other things, just talking about courage, they are still very brave.

If the confrontation continues on this scale, China will suffer heavy losses.

This is what Jia Cong doesn't want to see.

Of course, if you don’t want to completely control the entire Jiaozhi.

They just want them to submit to China and become a vassal state of China.

Or if we simply incorporate it into the territory but still allow it to govern itself, the difficulty will be much reduced.

But this was not Jia Cong's purpose.

If that were all, it wouldn't be of much use.

How to break the situation?
After thinking for a long time, Jia Cong's eyes finally lit up and he thought of something.

That’s right, attacking the city is inferior to attacking the heart.

Now we can completely adopt a combination of attacking the heart and attacking the city!

Jia Cong still remembers a sentence he heard in later generations: There is no China after Yashan, and there is no China after the fall of Ming Dynasty.

This sentence sounds very reasonable at first glance.

In fact, this sentence was said by a Japanese during the war of aggression against China.

This sentence is meant to attack people's hearts. There is no China after the Battle of Yashan. After the Battle of Yashan, the orthodox Chinese culture was destroyed, all the conscientious and responsible Chinese scholars died out, and the Chinese spirit no longer exists.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese orthodoxy was also gone.

The backbone of China has been broken and its heritage has been lost, so you don't have to hold on and can surrender without any psychological burden.

Moreover, the Japanese who proposed this statement were very insidiously saying that this statement was said by an old man from the late Ming Dynasty.

However, after searching among the old people from the late Ming Dynasty, no one has ever said this.

Only in Qian Qianyi's poems, there are two lines that are similar to this sentence.

The sloping line on the cliffs and mountains on the promontory no longer belongs to China.

The meaning of this poem is that the cliffs and mountains at the cape are slanted into a line and are no longer part of China.

You see, did he ever mean that there would be no China after Yashan?
There are two more lines at the end: Looking across the pass and river, I see no Han flag, and the sound of the Hujia is blowing away the sun and the moon.

What it means is that, at first glance, there are no Han flags on the city walls and mountains of the Ming Dynasty, and the mournful music resounds through the sun and the moon, but it is no longer the instrument of the Han people.

This clearly expresses the regret and nostalgia for the old dynasty. How could it mean that there would be no China after the Ming Dynasty fell?

Thinking of this, Jia Cong felt that this method could actually be used as a reference.

For example, since the Han Dynasty, Jiaozhi has been the territory of the Han Dynasty.

For thousands of years after the Han Dynasty, Jiaozhi belonged to the Central Plains region for most of the time.

Therefore, as long as we can find ways to make most of the Jiaozhi people lose their will to resist, this war will be much easier to fight.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong couldn't help but ponder it carefully.

In the end, Jia Cong decided to write a few articles and spread them in Jiaozhi.

If you want to persuade most Jiaozhi people to rebel, you can just start with their treatment. (End of this chapter)
