"Yang Ping, you have always opposed secession, and I will not treat you badly. Now that Yang Chunrong wants to split, I was forced to send troops. I hope you can understand." Yang Guozheng looked quite amiable.

Yang Ping said expressionlessly: "My lord regent has learned a lot. As a kingdom, Kokang is different from the republic system in the Western Continent. The king is above the country, and he is not guilty of splitting the country." Obviously Yang Ping I don't buy it.

Yang Guozheng frowned and said: "Even if Yang Biao and Yang Tong are two bastards who hold His Majesty hostage, I must suppress the rebellion. But the army needs food, weapons and ammunition, which will cost a lot of money. I hope you can put the money in the treasury Take out the money so that the army can have enough food and pay." Yang Guozheng didn't want to go around in circles, and directly stated his purpose.

Yang Ping shook his head and said, "The king is the supreme ruler of this country, and anyone who goes against his wishes is a rebellion. If the regent really wants to attack the king, please forgive me for not cooperating."

Chapter 578 The Battle of Bagu

"What?" Yang Guozheng immediately became angry: "In this case, you should go to the prison to sober up first, and think about what you should do."

Yang Ping was thrown into prison, and Yang Chunming quickly took over the treasury, but when he led his troops to break open the treasury, he found that it was empty.Yang Guozheng was so angry that he knew that Yang Chunrong left in a hurry, it was impossible to take away all the money from the treasury, it must be hidden by Yang Ping.He questioned him several times, but Yang Ping simply ignored him, and Yang Guozheng had nothing to do about it.

Yang Chunrong, who fled to the south, was supported by Yang Tong and Yang Biao, and quickly recovered.There are some funds brought to the south, and Yang Tong has always supported Hualan's economic intervention, so Yangon has a large number of factories of Zhongchuan merchants, and the economy is the most prosperous.Backed by a lot of money, they quickly rebuilt the army.

Yang Tong led the Generalissimo himself, and at the same time served as the commander of the new Seventh Army of the Army and the Commander of the Navy. Yang Biao served as the commander of the Army, and his subordinates controlled the Imperial Guard Army and the Eighth and Ninth Armies.It seems that the army of the king's army has the strength of four armies, which is almost the same as the regent army that controls the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth armies.But in fact, most of the Regency Army were veterans who had participated in the War of Independence, and they had very rich combat experience. Most of the middle and lower-level officers were brought out by Wu Yuzhang and Yang Sen, and they were very capable in fighting.

In contrast to the troops of the King's Army, except for the Guards, the other three armies are all newly established. Although the senior officers are all returned from Hualan's study abroad, the lower-level officers and soldiers are all newcomers, so it is difficult to guarantee their actual combat effectiveness.Fortunately, through the communication between Yang Tong and Wu Yuzhang, the small arsenal in the Kyaukpyu Industrial Zone provided them with weapons, which prevented the newly built army from confronting the enemy empty-handed.

For the Dashu military government's preference for the king's army, Yang Guozheng couldn't get angry for a while.He knew it would be unwise to make many enemies until he had taken control of the kingdom.So he endured it for the time being, and at the same time ordered Yang Chunming to command the army to attack the south, so as to destroy the king's army before it was fully trained, and the Kokang Kingdom's version of the Civil War kicked off.

The absolute main force of the Regency Army, the Second Army and the Fourth Army first marched into Biaoguan, the northern gateway of Bagu, in an attempt to wipe out the main force of the king's army in one fell swoop and capture Yang Chunrong.Faced with the enemy's attack, Yang Biao took the Imperial Guards and the Eighth Army to meet the enemy despite insufficient training.In order to support the army's defense, Yang Tong sent a light gunboat team of the navy to take advantage of the wet season along the Xidang River to help the army's operations.

As soon as Yang Biao arrived at Biaoguan, he immediately asked the Eighth Army to build fortifications along the river, and the Imperial Guards served as the left flank and the reserve team.Yang Biao knew that the Eighth Army was not sufficiently trained and would be easily defeated in high-intensity battles. For this reason, he also transferred a regiment from the Imperial Guards and deployed them to the front line as a backbone force.

Yang Chunming doesn't have much military talent, and he hasn't studied systematically. All he wants to do is crush the opponent with absolute strength.The commanders who now command the Second and Fourth Armies are almost the same as Yang Chunming. As soon as they arrived at the banks of the Xidang River, they immediately launched an attack without finding out the enemy's situation.

Relying on more than 30 infantry artillery gathered together by the two armies, the firepower of the Regency Army quickly suppressed the king's army, and the well-trained Fifth Division of the Second Army began to cross the river in batches.Without the support of the navy, the Fifth Division could only form a raft and launch a forced crossing to the opposite bank.

Although the Eighth Army had not been established for a long time, its commander, Yang Yufeng, was also an overseas student. The positions he arranged were light at the front and heavy at the rear, which greatly exerted his own firepower.Soon the only artillery and machine guns of the Eighth Army went into battle, and the intensive firepower suppressed the Regency Army crossing the river, making them unable to hold their heads up.

The infantry guns of the Regent Army did not have enough range, and it was already very difficult to hit the other side, and it was difficult to suppress the Eighth Army.Therefore, the Regency army crossing the river could only brave the opponent's artillery fire to cross the river forcibly, resulting in a large number of casualties.The stupid Yang Chunming insisted that all troops cross the river desperately regardless of the casualties of his subordinates.

Just because the senior officers are idiots doesn't mean the junior officers are too.Although the junior officers of the Second Army and the Fourth Army had never studied abroad, they had followed Wu Yuzhang and Yang Sen for a long time, and learned a lot of tactics and tricks under their influence.

Seeing that the losses of their team were getting bigger and bigger, but Yang Chunming was commanding indiscriminately, they had no choice but to suggest that it would be difficult to succeed in a frontal attack, so it was better to turn around from the side.Yang Chunming, who was worried about the weak attack, immediately agreed, but he didn't agree to send half of the troops to make a detour. He just ordered the [-]th Division of the Fourth Army to cross the Bagu Mountains and attack Biaoguan from behind.

The commander of the No.12 Division had no choice but to drill into the mountain with a team of less than 1 people.The Twelfth Division is all courageous people, they are no strangers to the mountains in the rainforest area, and with local soldiers leading the way, they will not be unable to handle it.

It's just that the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division didn't know that Yang Biao, an international student, had even more vicious eyes. He had already arranged the second and third divisions of the Imperial Guard here, waiting for the opponent's sneak attack.Originally, if most of the lower-ranking officers wanted to send out the entire Fourth Army to attack, even if the two divisions of the Imperial Guard defended with all their strength, it would be a stalemate at best.It's a pity that Yang Chunming didn't listen to the advice and only sent one division to come. As a result, the [-]th Division was ambushed and the whole division was compressed in a narrow valley.

Seeing that they were in an ambush, the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division became more and more angry.Originally, the officers and soldiers were unwilling to rebel against the king, but because of the mountainous military law, they had to obey the orders of the superior officers.Now that Yang Chunming's blind command has caused their own danger, they immediately clamored.In desperation, the teacher finally decided to surrender to Yang Biao, and at the same time stated his position.

Hearing that all the twelve divisions had surrendered, Yang Biao was overjoyed.After all, these people are the essence of the Kokang Army, much stronger than those new recruits from the Eighth Army.Now that King Yang Chunrong, the Kokang King, is in charge, the middle and lower ranks of the army are still loyal to the royal family, so he kept the whole division without asking for instructions, and reorganized it into the Kokang First Independent Division to participate in the battle against the regent army.

After the First Independent Division joined the battle, it was indeed very brave.With the help of these veterans, the Eighth Army gradually became aware of it and launched several counterattacks against the Regency Army, making Yang Chunming flustered for a while.Then Yang Tong's naval gunboat team also arrived. These scaled-down warships, manufactured by the Kyaukpyu Shipyard and imitating the Ningyuan-class shallow-water heavy gunship of the Shu Army, have very fierce firepower.Although the caliber of the main gun was changed to [-]mm due to the reduction in tonnage, the power did not decrease much.

In front of these iron-clad gunboats with several [-]mm cannons that can advance quickly in the water, the few small water pipes of the Regency Army are not enough to look at.After encountering heavy shelling, Yang Chunming was forced to lead his troops to retreat, and the defeated regent army retreated to Binmana for defense.

Chapter 579 The Cowardly Yang Chunrong

Hearing that his army was defeated, Yang Guozheng was furious. He immediately wrote a fierce reprimand letter to his son, scolding him like a dog.Yang Chunming was afraid of Lao Tzu since he was a child, and he dared not reply to Yang Guozheng's yelling.In order to shirk responsibility, Yang Chunming blamed the rebellion of the [-]th Division and the participation of the navy fleet as the cause of the defeat.

Yang Guozheng was furious when he heard that the Twelfth Division's rebellion resulted in defeat.In addition to hearing that the Kyaukpyu Port Industrial Zone supported the king's army weapons, Yang Guozheng believed that those officers who had served under Wu Yuzhang were suspected of collaborating with the enemy.Naturally, Yang Guozheng dared not execute so many officers without reason, because then the army would definitely rise up and overthrow his unstable rule.

After thinking about it, Yang Guozheng, in the name of retiring from the army, drove all those skilled officers in the army to eat old rice at home.Then Yang Guozheng sealed off his relatives and sent all his direct children into the army as officers.These pampered guys don't have much ability in the first place. They don't know military skills and don't know how to lead troops. What they think about every day is how to search for oil and water.These people made a mess in the army, and the soldiers complained.

Of course Yang Guozheng knew about this situation, but although these people were greedy, they were absolutely loyal to him.After experiencing the rebellion of the Twelfth Division, Yang Guozheng put loyalty first, and turned a blind eye to the behavior of those people.

After rectifying the army, Yang Guozheng immediately personally commanded an army of 10,000+ to bypass the Bagu Mountains and go down the Bago River to directly attack Bagu City.Yang Guozheng believes that the most important thing is to catch Yang Chunrong, as long as he can control this disobedient nephew, he can rule the Kokang Kingdom.At that time, he will naturally be able to clean up all those who resist him, including expelling the forces of the Dashu military government.

Faced with Yang Guozheng's approach of avoiding the waterway, Yang Tong has no good solution. He can only let Yang Tong concentrate the army in Bagu for defense, hoping to make the regent army retreat.In this case, the king's army and the regent army launched the largest battle in the Civil War near Bago.

Yang Biao dug a position of more than 20 kilometers outside Bagu City in advance.The position reached six kilometers in depth, on which were built anti-battery holes, bandages, ammunition depots, artillery positions, machine gun positions, and front-line headquarters, etc., which can be said to have won the essence of the Shu army's operations.

In order to be able to defend against the attack of the Regency Army, Yang Tong even dismantled some of the navy's small-caliber naval guns and placed them on the position as suppression artillery.When Yang Guozheng, who was full of ambition, led all the main forces to Bagu, the king's army had already made all preparations for battle.

For this battle, Yang Guozheng also did his best.He took out all the arms stocks stored in Mandalay.The Regency Army was able to deploy more than 50 75mm mountain guns and hundreds of 57mm infantry guns in the forward position.

On the morning of April [-], [-], the regent army fired a hundred guns, announcing the beginning of the Bagu War.Yang Chunrong was eating breakfast in the temporary palace at that time, when he heard the loud noise of the cannon fire, he was so frightened that he threw his rice bowl on the table, his face turned pale immediately.

"Marshal, what's the matter?" Yang Chunrong, who had never experienced war, usually looked quite calm, but he was unusually timid. He was frightened out of his wits when he heard the dense artillery fire.At this time, his whole body was shaking like a sieve, and his voice trembled to ask the Grand Admiral of the Navy and Army Yang Tong who was with him.

Seeing Yang Chunrong's cowardly appearance, Yang Tong couldn't help sighing.Compared with Zhao Shouhong, the governor of the Dashu military government, this king of his own family is really embarrassing.Even if Yang Guozheng's rebellion is suppressed this time, it is not known whether such a monarch has the ability to stabilize the country.At this time, he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​canceling the Kokang Kingdom and directly merging the whole Kokang into the Dashu Military Government.

This idea is just a general idea, and how to implement it needs to be carefully considered. At this time, Yang Tong still has to answer Yang Chunrong first. "Your Majesty, this is artillery fire from the rebels. They are launching an attack." Yang Tong replied.

"What?" Yang Chunrong's face changed completely: "They launched an attack? What if the rebels come in? Will they kill me?"

Hearing Yang Chunrong's cowardly words and deeds, even Yang Lin and Yang Hui frowned slightly.Doubts arose in their hearts as to whether it was right to support such a cowardly king.The three military and political officials looked at each other, and they all saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yang Biao's army will keep you safe outside the city." Yang Tong replied patiently: "Your Majesty only needs to rest in peace in the palace, and the army will take care of other things."

"Okay, okay. As long as I can stop the regent's army, I will reward all the soldiers." Yang Chunrong replied submissively.

At this time, Yang Biao was not feeling well. Although he had joined the First Independent Division, he only had four divisions of veterans in his hands.Due to the lack of heavy weapons, the Kokang Army has a smaller establishment, with only about 1 people in a division.At this time, Yang Biao had 01 veterans and 30 recruits in his hands, while Yang Guozheng on the opposite side, although most of the officers were useless, the [-] divisions of the five armies were all veterans with strong combat effectiveness. Not [-]:[-].

Fortunately, Yang Biao has learned professional military knowledge, especially in defense. With the defense he has arranged, the king's army will not collapse in a short time.Led by the veterans, the recruits of the king's army gradually adapted to the rhythm of the battle, and began to attack and defend against the regent army.However, the tactical movements of the new recruits are unfamiliar, and the battle losses are greater. Therefore, although the king's army has a defensive advantage, the battle loss ratio of the regent army is almost one to one.

The brutal battle lasted for three days and three nights, and the regent army and the king's army were already red-eyed.The king's army was forced to do nothing, because Bagu was already one of their few strongholds, and if they lost it, they might lose the initiative in the war.The generals of the Regency Army didn't care about the casualties of soldiers at all, they only knew how to attack blindly.

Yang Biao had already used what he had learned to the limit. The Regent Army relied on firepower and superior numbers to seize a position during the day, and the veterans of the King's Army would take advantage of the night battle to regain it.The two sides launched a tug-of-war regardless of casualties, and the dead and wounded soldiers almost filled the entire trench.

The weaker king's army gradually ran out, and they were forced to abandon three positions one after another, and the whole army almost retreated to the edge of Bagu City.In order to suppress the firepower of the Regency Army, Yang Tong dismantled all the small-caliber naval guns available in the navy and placed them on the high ground near Bago City.With the support of these naval guns with a larger caliber than the army's artillery, the king's army could barely maintain it from being completely defeated.

Chapter 5: Hualan Reinforcements

When the night of the fourth day finally came, the exhausted Yang Biao finally found the three of them.The first thing Yang Biao said when he saw the three of them was: "If there is no foreign aid, our army will collapse within two days."

Yang Lin looked at Yang Tong, then at Yang Hui and sighed, "The only one who can save us now is the courageous dispatched troops from the Dashu Military Government."

"Don't you think..." Yang Hui was startled, and asked immediately.

Before Yang Hui could say anything, Yang Lin nodded and said, "Can't you see it these days? The king is so embarrassing."

Yang Tong sighed: "It's better to find out now than to find out after the Saars call. At least we don't need to be subjugated slaves."

Yang Biao, who was originally applying for reinforcements, saw the three important state ministers playing charades in front of him, and he couldn't react for a while.Looking at Yang Biao who was in a daze, Yang Tong, who had a close relationship with him, reminded in a low voice: "The current monarch is really cowardly. Even if he wins, it will be difficult for him to manage the country without the support of the regent. We intend to let the whole It is in our best long-term interests for the kingdom to be merged into Hualan. After all, the Guokang clan was renamed from the Hualan clan in history, and we are all one family."

"What did you say?" Yang Biao exclaimed, he stared blankly at his friends, unable to change his mind.What Yang Biao meant was to discuss with everyone whether the troops should retreat to Yangon and fight again. After all, there can be artillery support from the navy there.But Yang Biao didn't expect that these three friends actually had the idea of ​​abolishing the king and joining Hualan. He was so startled that his mouth opened wide and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.Looking at the calm faces of the three important ministers, it was obvious that they had already discussed everything during the few days of fighting.

"Is there no room for change? After all, the old chieftain is good to us, and we are all of the same clan." Zhang Biao is obviously still unwilling to bear the charge of betraying the master.

Yang Tong said: "Yang Chunrong is not suitable for such a high position at all. Letting him spend his life safely as an ordinary person may be his greatest happiness. It is better than when foreign enemies invade and the whole family dies with him."

"However, Hualan has also been invaded many times. How can we guarantee that after we merge into Hualan, we will not be invaded?" Yang Biao asked rhetorically.

"Look at the development of the Dashu military government. They not only solved the rebellion of the Huns, but also defeated the participation of the Raksha people. Recently, they wiped out the 10,000+ Japanese army on the Qilu battlefield. If it continues like this, will there still be people Do you dare to bully Hualan?" Yang Lin said.
