One thousand one hundred and eleven five-way attack

At the beginning of December of the winter of the first year of Longwu, the Sinantian family received a large amount of military intelligence, without exception, news that the Qin army was approaching step by step.

The imperial army kept moving the base towards Guizhou, and the speed was not fast, but the goal of the movement was very clear. Now some of the imperial soldiers and horses have entered the territory of Guizhou, drawing patterns everywhere to measure the terrain, and then repairing the road surface to build houses, with unknown intentions.

The situation in Guizhou suddenly became tense. After Tian learned the news, there was no reason for An and Song to know. So, Zhu Zhengse, the bare governor who had always been deliberately ignored by everyone, suddenly became a popular commodity. Toasts of all sizes came to see him with gifts.

To be honest, rebellion or not is meaningless to everyone. Everyone wants to make money and enjoy life safely. They are used to living a life of turning a blind eye to the court. Everyone has figured out a way to live peacefully with local officials. To make money together, where can they have time to rebel?

Except for some people who are born rebellious or are forced to rebel, rebellion is something that everyone strives to avoid. If Yang Yinglong was not really short of money, he would be a relatively arrogant chieftain, and he was still a distance from rebellion.

The other three companies have more businesses and have broader paths. They don’t have as many soldiers as the Yang family. They were also more ruthless in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Although they rank ahead of the Yang family, they really have the strongest military strength.

Therefore, Yang needs money to raise soldiers, and the Yang family is the most lacking in money, but they are not that short of money.

For them, they still want to live peacefully with the court and local officials as usual, and do not want to cause big things. Everyone has a difficult life.

Not to mention that Xiao Ruxun is famous, they really don’t want to be Xiao Ruxun’s enemies.

So when the matter happened, they thought of the first thing they thought of was not confrontation, but communication and resolving misunderstandings, asking the court's purpose, and seeing if there were any misunderstandings that needed to be contacted. The best target was definitely not the army, but Zhu Zhengse.

The three chieftains and a group of small chieftains visited Zhu Zhengse one after another, bringing Zhu Zhengse a lot of gifts, which is much better than the gifts that were both warning and pleasing before. Pearl, agate, gold, silver and jewelry are all small meanings, while celebrities' calligraphy and painting are the big ones.

Zhu Zhengse likes famous calligraphy and painting very much. After all, he is also a literati, and they all know how to meet their preferences.

Zhu Zhengse felt the feeling of someone supporting him behind his back, and it didn't feel too comfortable, so he sat carelessly in Guizhou City and chatted and laughed with the toasts.

The message he conveyed was nothing more than a military soldier from the court that was not for you. You can just work together properly, or you can also provide guidance, food, small paths, etc. to the court. You know what to do afterwards.

Zhu Zhengse is the governor of Guizhou, and the news revealed was already very convincing. The chieftains of the three families immediately understood that the soldiers of the court were not for them, but for the guy who jumped the most happily.

The three families have not received letters from Yang Yinglong, saying that they have seen a series of movements from the court and felt something was wrong. They invited the three families to put aside their grudges and always treat the outside world. Everyone needs to know the truth about the coldness of their lips and teeth. I am finished, and you will not be much better.

The three chieftains repeatedly wavered in the court's promises and Yang Yinglong's warnings. It was not until December 3 that the vanguard of the court's army entered Sinan Prefecture and Tongren Prefecture from the direction of Xuanwei Office in Baojingzhou and Chenzhou Prefecture respectively that the three chieftains and local small chieftains became really nervous.

More than 100,000 troops were storming and entered Guizhou in two groups along the water flow. The armor was distinctive and powerful. A large number of ships followed the army along the water flow, covering the entire water flow.

The court did not know how many soldiers and horses had mobilized this time, even the blind man knew that the visitor was not good.

Such a large-scale march scared the three chieftains. When the imperial army was not coming, they could still sway left and right. Think about whether they should believe Zhu Zhengse's words or believe in the truth that the lips and teeth were cold. In a short time, the three families made a decision.

Watch the changes.

When the contradiction is too great and cannot make a clear decision, it is also a choice. As long as you don’t stand clearly on one side, there will be room for maneuver, right?

Of course, fence-skinned grass is not very popular either.

However, for Xiao Ruxun, it is the most important thing to deal with the other three families and kill Yang Yinglong, the one who takes the lead in causing trouble. The other three families are better than the Yang family in terms of financial resources, but in terms of military power, if there is no sufficient time for mobilization, it will be the same as the Yang family.

If the Yang family who can be beaten up, the other three families are extremely likely to be scared, and the possibility of not being disrespectful to the court is also very likely to feel that the court is exhausted after the Yang family is being cleaned up, and a good day will come.

However, for Xuanwu Camp and for other armies, there is no need to be too much military merit.

Moreover, Xiao Ruxun had more than one such thing as a smoke bomb in his hand.

The main force of Sichuan soldiers in Chongqing Prefecture, 30,000 were also prepared to march towards Qijiang under the leadership of Ma Qiancheng. Once they set out, they immediately followed the Qijiang River water and attacked towards Sanyuanba, directly threatening Yang Yinglong's nest.

In addition, Zheng Ying also stipulated several routes of march.

The entire Xuanwu Camp was divided into three armies on the left, center and right. The Right Army was led by Liu Jing as the main general and led 30,000 troops out of Longquan County.

The central army was personally commanded by Zheng Ying, and 40,000 troops were commanded to form the Baini Department.

The Left Army, with Wu Yong, the most powerful general under Zheng Ying, as the main general, commanded 30,000 troops and went to Xinglong Guard.

The army heading south of Qinglong Camp formed a self-organized army, with Qi Dayong, the deputy general of Qinglong Camp as the main general. They marched to Wujiang Pass, Guizhou Prefecture, and directly sent troops to the Xuanwei Office of the Broadzhou, which was later Zunyi and Yang Yinglong's nest.

In this way, the five-way attack strictly followed the tactical route formulated in advance, Yang Yinglong's resistance would be destroyed within fifteen days, Yang Yinglong was compressed to Hailongtun, and then annihilated it in one fell swoop. For this reason, Xiao Ruxun ordered several southeastern provinces to provide enough food and grass for the army and recruit naval warships to transport food and grass for the army.

The two great harvests after the land reform in Jiangnan last year and this autumn provided sufficient food support for the army's large-scale military use, and there were plenty of granaries in several southeastern provinces.

Moreover, it was the middle of winter and the slack season, local township governments organized the farmers' associations in each village to send up to 30 strong men to help the army. Based on the principle of voluntary, the land of the strong men who participated in the transportation of military rations was exempted from next year's agricultural tax.

With such favorable policies, the farmers were enthusiastic. The Farmers' Association immediately organized the soldiers to be sent to designated locations in various places to participate in the task of transporting food and grass.

Although the main transportation tasks are handled by ships, there are still a large number of food and grass that need to be carried by land along with the army.
