Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian laughed and said softly:

"Since you persuaded these people to surrender, I allow you to select 1000 people to form the Flying Tiger Camp."

"Your Majesty, are you serious?" Liu Tichun was overjoyed.

He rubbed his hands together, overjoyed.

Ever since he wandered around Caoxian County, the emperor had left him alone for a long time.

"If you don't want to, then forget it."

Zhu Youjian's face changed, and he said deliberately: "General Liu is guarding the food and grass, I am quite relieved."

"Uh!"

Liu Tichun wished he could give himself a slap in the face.

He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Lao Liu said the wrong thing. I am willing to do it! I am willing to do it!"

Seeing Liu Tichun's eager face, everyone burst out laughing.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand:

"I promise to let you form the Flying Tiger Camp.

You just need to pick people, can I still lie to you? "

Liu Tichun chuckled, turned around and left in a hurry.

It was as if His Majesty would not agree if it was a little late.

As soon as Liu Tichun left, Zhang Luojun rushed back with more than 1000 people in his custody.

He dismounted from his horse and walked forward quickly, with a smile on his face but tears in his eyes.

This new scholar from last year looked excited:

"Your Majesty, the land of Nanyang can be pacified, the land of Nanyang can be pacified!"

Everyone was stunned.

Instead laugh!

Yes!

Nanyang Basin finally belongs to them!

……

Guanghua is far from Dengzhou. Go straight east past Menglou where Mencius lectured. The whole journey is only ninety miles.

Yuan Zongdi did not dare to stay, and finally arrived outside Dengzhou City at dawn.

At this time, the city gate has been opened.

After Yuan Zongdi entered the city, he immediately closed the four gates and recruited the young men in the city to defend the city.

In the battle of Qiliya, Yuan Zongdi's most elite army of [-] was defeated.

Emperor Ming's endless stream of new gadgets completely made Yuan Zongdi lose his pride.

Recalling the rumors, Emperor Ming also had a big flying lantern, and a bull-exploding technique that kept exploding...

Yuan Zongdi only felt bitter in his mouth.

He is arrogant!

They still have two big killer weapons that they haven’t released yet!

He was a complete failure.

As soon as he left the ancient Shangyu Road, he wanted to overthrow Emperor Ming and chase after Emperor Ming's ass...

Yuan Zongdi just wanted to give himself a few words.

It's all your own fault!

Liu Fangliang is as famous as herself!

If someone can be the general of Zuoying, how can he be weaker than himself?

Liu Fangliang was defeated by Emperor Ming, and even he was captured alive by Emperor Ming.

How come I, a general of the right camp, have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, and want to stroke the beard of a tiger?

but……

Looking at the crowded city, Yuan Zongdi let out a sigh of relief.

"I haven't lost yet!"

"Zongdao took five thousand cavalry and detoured to Suizhou.

When he gets the news, he will naturally rush back. By then, I will still have nearly [-] elite soldiers! "

"If Bai Jiuhe, He Dengyun, Ma Yunxiang and others know the news of my defeat, they will definitely lead their troops to join me!"

The first time Yuan Zong thought of General Youying who had been sent out by him to attack cities and plunder territory, he became angry.

If I had known this outcome, I should have united our forces and swallowed Emperor Ming whole with absolute superiority!

However, the next moment.

Yuan Zongdi, who had regained his confidence, suddenly thought of Liu Fangliang again.

His waist, which had been straightened just now, collapsed again...

Yuan Zongdi secretly said to himself:

"With Emperor Ming's shamelessness, if I really led an army of 10,000+ and chased him to Qili Cliff..."

"My mother!"

Yuan Zongdi shuddered.

My 10,000+ troops are crowded on the narrow riverside official road...

That naughty Emperor Ming will definitely use the Bull Exploding Technique!

People are flying and exploding in the sky, and running on the ground are exploding...

By the time……

Thinking of the scene of floating corpses blocking the Han River, Yuan Zongdi shuddered for the rest of his life.

motherfucker!

It's already summer, why the hell is it still so cold?

……

Ta Tianbao is a general under Yuan Zongdi.

Within the peasant army, there are loose alliances, and each hilltop has always developed independently.

They usually fight separately, but once the Ming army comes to suppress them, they will fight together again.

Moreover, the peasant army does not have an absolute leader.

Whether it's Wang Er, Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng...

Within the peasant army, the strong has always been king.

They only believe in their own strength!

Li Zicheng won a great victory in Luoyang, and after the establishment of Xiangyang, he gradually began to concentrate power.

However, nearly 20 years of independent personal development has made Shantouism prevalent within Dashun.

In other words, although the Dashun Fifth Battalion was nominally under the command of Li Zicheng.

In fact, the leaders of these five camps are all powerful men who preside over one party.

Yuan Zongdi is no exception, and not only Yuan Zongdi is no exception, but also Liu Zongmin, who followed Li Zicheng to the capital!

This is one of the main reasons why Dashun suffered a complete defeat after its failure!

It wasn't until the Kuidong Thirteen Family took up the banner of the Ming Dynasty that they gained some cohesion.

……

Ta Tianbao has been following Yuan Zongdi for a long time.

The peasant army has been ups and downs for a long time, and Ta Tianbao himself doesn't know how many years he has been joining the peasant army.

……

Li Zicheng believed that when Shangluoshan was defeated, only Yuan Zongdi, one of the eighteen riders, was left.

Let him be stationed in Shangluo and defend Shangyu, a strategic location eight hundred miles away.

And Yuan Zongdi also believed in Ta Tianbao, even more than he believed in his brother Yuan Zongdao.

This time, Yuan Zongdi entered Wandi (referred to as Nanyang) to pursue Emperor Ming. Yuan Zongdi didn't even think about it and directly asked Ta Tianbao to stay at Wuguan.

Wuguan is a good place!

Eight hundred miles of business are on ancient roads, and six hundred miles are in the Qinling Mountains, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Since ancient times, the only way to travel south from Guanzhong to Nanyang was by taking the ancient trade road overland.

As for Nanyang, Xiangyang, and the Jianghan Plain further south, if you want to go north to Guanzhong, most of them will take the Danjiang Waterway, which is one of the ancient trade routes.

Business on the geographical dangers of ancient roads

In other words, there are only two ways to do business on the ancient road: water and land.

However, whether it is land or water, it must pass through Wuguan, the most important pass in the world, which was built in the early Zhou Dynasty.

The importance of Wuguan's geographical location is evident.

By the Ming Dynasty, because the capital was no longer located in Xi'an, Guanzhong, the military role of the ancient Shang Yu Road was gradually weakened.

However, since Emperor Chenghua, a Ming lord who was seriously underestimated by later generations, set up Yunyang to manage the millions of refugees who fled into the Qinling Mountains, coupled with the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, goods flowed between the north and the south.

The commercial role of Shangyu Ancient Road has been further highlighted.

There was an endless stream of packhorses heading south, one after another.

The ships heading north travel thousands of miles and are connected end to end. There are as many as two hundred ships entering the ancient road every day!

There are accurate data records in the early Qing Dynasty. The annual tax revenue of Longjuzhai, a post station pass north of Wuguan alone, was as high as 15 taels!
