Chapter 135 In full swing
As the uprising expanded, the voice of resistance to the violent Yuan became stronger and stronger.
Governments across the Yuan Dynasty were frightened and made formal requests to the imperial court to send troops for support.
The result was even more frightening news.
The leader of the Ming Cult came to Beijing alone, entered Jiucheng Palace with his sword, killed Emperor Zhizheng of the Yuan Dynasty and his followers, and then left.
This is not a rumor from the rebels, but news from the Yuan Dynasty officials’ own news channels.
The authenticity is beyond doubt.
"impossible!"
Wang Baobao smashed the tea cup with his palm and said angrily: "There are countless masters in the palace. How can he alone defeat thousands of troops?"
"This must be a rumor spread by the rebels. Anyone who dares to spread rumors will be killed immediately."
Even though he said this, his palms couldn't help but tremble, and he felt great fear in his heart.
At this time, he was setting up troops in Shaanxi Province and practicing his qualifications with the seniors.
If not, I'm afraid Yi Qingchen would have his head picked off in the capital.
Others don't understand how scary Yi Qingchen is, but he knows it clearly.
"There is no one who is most closely guarded in the world than the Imperial Palace, no more than the Emperor, and yet he was able to force his way into the palace and harm His Majesty the Emperor..."
Wang Baobao felt sincere fear: "How can I fight against such an enemy? No matter how strong my strategy is, as long as he comes to kill me, what use will any strategy have?"
"The defeat of our court has been determined. The only thing we can do is to retain the fire of Meng Yuan."
Wang Baobao's eyes moved upward, and finally stopped at the prairie where the Mongolian people made their fortune and the Lingbei Province.
Where the terrain is open and desolate, it is best to avoid enemies.
Only by retreating there and becoming elusive can Yi Qingchen be thrown away.
Be timid before fighting, flee before fighting.
Not only Wang Baobao was like this, but other Yuan army generals were also like this.
In this way, although the Yuan army is powerful, how can it be the opponent of the rebel army!
In the days to come, Yi Qingchen personally led the army to fight overseas. In every battle, he would take the lead and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.
His magical skills are unparalleled, he is invincible and unstoppable on the battlefield, and he has the bonus of a heroic halo.
He is usually amiable, willing to support and train his subordinates, and cares about their lives.
Everyone is happy to be used by him and are extremely convinced by him.
In addition, Yi Qingchen implemented the military merit system, and only based on military merit as the basis for promotion regardless of closeness or distance.
As the number of battles increased, many elite talents emerged from the rebel army and filled various systems of the Ming Cult. The overall structure of the rebel army became more and more perfect, and its combat effectiveness became stronger and stronger.
In just three months, Yi Qingchen led the army to fight in the three provinces of Henan, Jiangbei, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Jiangxi.
It's almost a big battle every three days and a small battle every day.
In just three months, they managed more than 100 battles, and the rebel army was well-trained by war from top to bottom.
In the constant battles, Yi Qingchen's martial arts, which had reached its peak, grew again.
During the battle, he gradually realized how to use mental power and true energy together, which meant that the legendary 'vibe' could be materialized.
When facing the enemy, he combined his true energy and spirit into one, mobilizing a strong murderous aura.
In many cases, Yi Qingchen releases his murderous intent, and the opponent loses directly.
Another point is the application of Qi.
As the saying goes, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
No matter how much Yi Qingchen comprehends, the true energy is still something new.
Only by continuously applying Qi in battle and through constant testing can the truth be verified and the strength improved.
In three months, Yi Qingchen completely wiped out the Yuan soldiers in these three provinces, captured them, and established the basic base that was completely under the rule of Mingjiao.
In addition to these three provinces, other provinces such as Sichuan, Huguang, and Shaanxi have rebel forces, but they have not yet been connected.
It fights endlessly externally, while internally it integrates resources and reshapes policies.
Relying on various materials left behind by the Yuan Dynasty, Yi Qingchen's army increased and decreased, reaching a size of more than 200,000.
Two hundred thousand conventional troops are responsible for garrisoning the territory that has been conquered.
Ten thousand elite cavalry are personally commanded by Yi Qingchen and are the most elite troops of the Ming Cult.
There are combatants skilled in bow and horse, medical staff responsible for logistics, and martial arts masters responsible for maintaining red cannons.
Within the Mingjiao, there are research projects on establishing firecrackers and flintlock guns, and are developing in the direction of standard equipment.
If all goes well, there will be a shocking scene of queuing up to be shot later in the war.
At that time, Central Plains China can take the lead in entering the new era, and no longer have to worry about being plucked by any Jurchens.
Internal government affairs were left to Yang Xiao and Wu Sanren. They followed the premise of stable development and equally divided the land seized from the Yuan Dynasty.
In line with the principle of uniting all forces, Yi Qingchen did not deal harshly with the landlords and gentry, and only asked them to donate money and land to support the great cause of Mingjiao.
After the typical person who was unwilling to donate was found to have the reason for oppressing the people in the past and was punished with a canon, the remaining landowners and gentry became more willing to do so.
In feudal society, there were no particularly powerful moves, and there was no need for particularly powerful moves.
Ninety percent of the people can be taken care of with just one move of 'equally dividing the land'.
As for the remaining five or six percent of the gentry who do not want to divide their land, they must either respond to the call of Mingjiao or the call of the underworld.
The people in the Mingjiao base area are enthusiastic, reclaiming farmland, planting rice and sowing rice, and striving for a happy tomorrow.
Yi Qingchen's reputation is getting better and better.
Some people respect him as a saint, some people respect him as a god of war, and some people respect him as an overlord.
All in all, his reputation in the world has reached an unparalleled level.
Finally, Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng and other high-level officials from the Ming Cult jointly suggested that Yi Qingchen proclaim himself emperor and establish a country.
"Our religion has occupied three fertile areas in Henan, Jiangbei, Jiangxi, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. We have millions of soldiers. Everywhere we go, the Yuan soldiers are invincible."
Yang Xiao first started to make a tone, and then said: "Now the situation of the world has been decided. Please ask the holy leader to succeed the emperor to calm the hearts of my followers and the hearts of the people in the world."
Yi Qingchen couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Yang Zuoshi's words are wrong!"
"The Mongolian and Yuan empire not only has rich places like ours, but also has a vast and boundless territory."
He said solemnly: "Let's not talk about far-off places, let's just say that the rich lands such as Sichuan, Shaanxi, Zhongshu Province, and Huguang have not been completely taken over. How can we claim to be emperor? Besides, we are looking at the scenery now, but the internal affairs revenue
It is completely insufficient to support the army in combat, and all the food we eat is the accumulation of the Tatars."
Yi Qingchen said: "But how long can the Tatars' accumulation last? Without a complete system of self-sufficiency and relying solely on grain reserves, it will collapse in less than two years."
"It's easy to start an incident the first time, but it's much harder to start an incident again."
"If this uprising fails and the people's belief in our Mingjiao is shattered, it will be difficult to start a new round of uprising."
Yi Qingchen said: "So we must be cautious. We must seize this opportunity to capture Sichuan, Shaanxi, Zhongshu Province, and Huguang first, and then establish a country and proclaim the emperor."
