Chapter 624

When Chen Wenruo set up troops from Yangzhou, successfully controlled Yangzhou City and captured Wu Zongda, Qian Qianyi and others alive, it shocked the senior management of the whole Liu family and made them ecstatic.

What is dozing, the pillow comes to the door automatically, and what is timely rain? That's it.

Wang Wendong, an important counselor to rescue them, said that no one can stop the Liu family when they are transported to heaven and earth. The great cause will be completed when the destiny returns.

So they immediately set out and went all out to support the front line. They knew how difficult it was for Chen Wenruo to win the whole Yangzhou city with a force of just over 2000 people. Even with Liu buzhineng, they dared not say such a thing.

You know, in terms of status, Yangzhou is definitely no worse than Jinan. If economically, it is more important, more prosperous and more populous than Jinan. It is also in the core area of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. It connects the north and South and controls this place, they can advance and retreat, South and North. More importantly, they will collapse the south of the imperial court.

So they were all very happy, shocked, and then adjusted Liu Zhongyong led the elite soldier twenty thousand, out of Ji'nan, down Yanzhou, into Xuzhou, to attack all the Fengyang.

On the other side of the road, Liu Bu led 30000 troops to sail downwind and water, ready to land from Taizhou and enter Yangzhou to echo Liu Zhongyong's army on land.

This time, they planned to win the whole Fengyang Prefecture and the Jianghuai region in one fell swoop, which was equivalent to taking down the heart of Daming, and then gradually plotted against Jiangnan, southwest, Huguang and other places.

At this time, the Liu family had a certain change in his strategy. This change was that they planned to move from south to north.

In history, it was very difficult from south to north. Most of the time, after the reunification of the north, the whole South was occupied, while quite a few occupied the whole North by the south.

However, the Liu family is also right to choose such a strategy now, because the northern heroes are juxtaposed, and the most powerful is naturally the Ming court, followed by the forces of building slaves and roving bandits.

If he goes all out to compete with these forces, he will consume his strength and make the loss of his troops severe. Daming has the whole rich Jiangnan as the support. He is not afraid of loss and does not care about loss. Even if the loss is huge, he will win in the end.

More importantly, it is now in the ice age. The north is either a severe drought or a severe flood. The severe lack of food depends on the south for transportation. If they can control the South and cut off the food supply, the Ming Dynasty bandits and others will be unsustainable and doomed to extinction.

Therefore, their plan is to take advantage of the emptiness of troops in the south of the Yangtze River and the decline of people's livelihood, go south on a large scale to seize this place, and then gradually consolidate the South and occupy this land of fish and rice. At this time, several major heroes in the North compete. When they fight almost, they will take advantage of the situation and win the whole world at one fell swoop.

At this time, Liu Yuanqiao also had the determination to dominate the world and the emperor, so they were ready to plot Jiangnan and this fertile land.

Liu bu also very much agrees with this strategy, because only the rich South can have enough food for their needs. Now it is a small ice age, and food production has been greatly reduced. Even in the richest areas of the Ming Dynasty, such as Susong and Huguang, food production has been reduced, but it can still be supplied and supported. Only by controlling food and having enough food, Only then can we have the capital to compete for the world.

So they did not hesitate to send out a large army and quickly went south. They were ready to take advantage of this winter. The imperial court was unable to interfere with the south to seize the south of the Yangtze River and compete for the world. I believe that after this winter, the pattern of the whole world will change.

Now the senior management of the whole Liu family deeply admire Liu Bu's strategic deployment. On that day, Liu Bu took the initiative to give up the post of Fengyang general army and went north to southern Liaoning. Many people think that he is a very stupid behavior. He gave up a piece of good fat to compete for a bone. Even if he stayed in the backyard, he obtained a certain share of benefits and some taxes, But after all, I threw watermelon and got sesame.

Now they found that Liu Bu left these in the backyard. They still have a military presence there. It is easy to control and occupy this place.

This is not like his Chen Wenruo, who quietly won the richest Yangzhou City in Daming with thousands of troops, which makes these people marvel inexplicably.

The biggest trouble for these people to advance southward on a large scale is that they lack a foothold. It is very difficult to enter the south of the Yangtze River.

Now they have entered the south of the Yangtze River. With these left in the backyard, they are equivalent to having a leading Party and are very familiar with the local area.

Especially this time, Chen Wenruo took Yangzhou City, which gave them a huge foothold in the south. After controlling Yangzhou, they can run around and run the thirteen houses in the south of the Yangtze River.

So this time they did not hesitate to send troops immediately. In the old saying, it was Xu Rulin, his plunder was like fire, invincible.

Liu Bu and Chen Wenruo boarded their high platform on the watchtower. They saw a steady stream of merchant ships and warships sailing into Taizhou military port, a large amount of grain being unloaded, and teams of soldiers driving down from the ship. Seeing so many elite generals coming down from the ship, Chen Wenruo was very excited and said, "it's easy for our army to win the whole Jiangnan with such momentum."

Liu Bu looked at such a prosperous military capacity and a steady stream of troops. He was also full of pride. With such a strong army, he ran all over the world. Why not? However, he was modest. He said, "don't underestimate the enemy!"

Fu Yao is the word of Chen Wenruo. Hearing this, Chen Wenruo was very happy and bent half over to show his gratitude. He said, "it's not that Fu Yao despises the enemy, but that our army has occupied all the advantages of time, place and people. It's really not difficult to win the whole Jiangnan."

Since ancient times, the biggest problem to win Jiangnan is to solve the natural danger of the Yangtze River.

Liu Jiajun has the most powerful navy and a merchant fleet, one of the four fleets of the canal. Their transportation capacity is amazing. The natural danger of the Yangtze River is not a natural moat for them.

More importantly, Daming was in the period of unification, not the period of confrontation between the north and the south in history.

In the confrontation between the north and the south in history, the southern regime deployed a large number of fortresses and fleets throughout the Yangtze River and Huaihe River and on the South Bank of the Yangtze River to deal with the attack of the north at any time. Now the Yangtze River is basically inland cities. There are no fortresses and heavy troops. Even with these troops, they have been evacuated to other places. For them, The troops are very empty. It can be said that they are now the most powerful strength along the Yangtze River.

At present, there is no strength to challenge them on the South Bank of the Yangtze River. Now their military strength is strong enough. When Liu Zhongyong's army goes south, they can firmly control the south of the Yangtze River.

Up to now, the Ming Dynasty has lost all the people's support, morale and luxury in the southwest. It has been fighting for nearly ten years, and the whole southwest has been nearly muddy. Although the war has been almost settled, the loss of the imperial court is very heavy, and the places have been eroded.

While the Central Plains and Northwest China suffered from the war and rampage of roving bandits, while the North was under the pressure of building slaves, which was very miserable.

When there was no other choice, the Ming Court continuously dispatched troops from the Central Plains and Jiangnan areas to fill pits in these places. As a result, a large number of troops were filled here, making the Jiangnan area very empty for defense. According to the standard of Liu Jiajun, there was no defense at all. The main force of the Ming Dynasty is now concentrated in Jiubian and beizhili, Facing Liu Jun, they are beyond the reach of the whip in the far south of the Yangtze River.

But Liu Bu didn't dare to take it lightly. You know, even in the original history, JianNu had occupied the north and had an absolute advantage, but it took more than ten years to calm the south of the Yangtze River, because there were many things that JianNu couldn't think of in the south of the Yangtze river.

For example, in the battle of Yangzhou and the battle of Jiangyin, these local people organized into an army to actively resist the southward and invasion of the slave army, but taught them to be human and let them know the power of the Han people.

But now they have a great advantage, that is, they occupied Yangzhou as a strategic place at the first time. Secondly, they are not bad people, but Daming people.

Many dignitaries in Jiangnan have done business with the Liu family. They come and go, and they are not very exclusive to them. If Liu Jun can sweep all over the country and treat the people well, the local people may not rise to support the imperial court against Liu Jun.

Liu Bu is most pleased and appreciated that Chen Wenruo controls Qian Qianyi, and Chen Wenruo is very smart and knows how to use Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi's reputation in later generations was extremely poor. His famous saying that the water was too cold and his head was itchy made him a laughing stock, but he made the altar of the Donglin Party go down and become a generation of city flies.

However, in contemporary times, in Jiangnan, Qian Qianyi's reputation is very large and has a great influence. Many people are proud to know him and recognize him as the representative of scholars.

However, this person has fallen into the hands of Liu Jun. if Liu Zhongyong or others think it is useless to hold Qian Qianyi, he will not cooperate, because his reputation is so good that he will only commit suicide and be loyal to Daming.

But Liu Bu knew that the goods were too cold. If he forced them with a knife, he would certainly obey them. Sure enough, Chen Wenruo was very good. He forced him to sign a letter of allegiance and work for the Liu family. Although his means were a little inferior, it was successful.

Its function is like forcing girls to pick up guests in the yard. If he picks up the first guest, he will take the initiative to attract guests. Qian Qianyi will go all out to cooperate with the Liu family when he goes underwater. That's the problem.
