During Liu Kang's conquest of Sichuan, Liu Bu had been rectifying military affairs here in Xiangyang. His main task was to build a new base here and turn it into their strategic support point in northern Huguang. After going south to Huguang and north to Henan, he could all be used as a starting point.

Their so-called Xiangyang Division has always been just a single number, and the weapons, personnel and equipment are not in place. It is very difficult to form a division. With their current combat effectiveness, one division can deal with the entire province and perform strategic tasks, so the requirements are very high, and there are many weapons, equipment and personnel required.

Li Dingguo’s military genius does not mean that his internal affairs are forever.

These can only be accomplished by Liu Bu personally coming here to coordinate the operations between various departments.

At the same time, Liu Bu also hopes that the Ministry of Works can send more craftsmen and equipment to let them open more arsenals here, provide them with weapons on site for the Xiangyang Division, and make this place a strategic support point for their current northern part of Huguang.

Liu Bu had such a plan. He not only wanted to set up a Xiangyang division, but also hoped to form more troops.

Building more troops means more personnel and more weapons, and weapons are the key. In these days, more people are willing to join the army and more people are willing to join the Chinese army, but their weapons production cannot keep up with the pace.

Although Huang Dong served as the Minister of Works and began all the arsenals under the rule of the Chinese Army, hoping to further increase their output, all of this is currently only based on paper, and the output has not soared. The Chinese Army is using troops everywhere, and the demand for weapons is extremely large.

The world is not unified yet, and there are still strong enemies in the north who are eyeing it. Jiannu is ready to move outside the Great Wall, but he dare not let Ma Nanshan go and return to the fields. If they had this idea, the court would probably kill them if they made a move.

At this moment, they received the news that Sichuan was conquered, which made Liu Bu very happy. At least it gave them another territory and was more confident in fighting the enemy.

The situation in the world is a bit chaotic now. Although the overall situation has entered a time of opposition between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, both sides have many fatal weaknesses.

For example, the vanguard of the Chinese Army has actually been deployed in Cangzhou, the northern Zhili area, which is only a few days away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If you start from here, you can reach the capital within a few days. The essence of the north of the Ming Dynasty, Shandong and Jianghuai are also under the control of the Chinese Army, which makes the Ming Dynasty feel like a thorn in its throat.

However, the south of the Chinese army was not entirely theirs. In the south, they mainly controlled the front line of Jiangnan, Huguang, and the south of Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou were still under the control of the Ming army. Although they completely isolated the connection between Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou and the Ming Dynasty in the north after they occupied Sichuan, this land was still not conquered by the Chinese army.

What's even worse is that the Chinese army does not have enough strength at present to conquer this land.

Therefore, both sides have their own fatal shortcomings, and everyone wants to erase the fatal shortcomings and make themselves safer.

It is estimated that after the Spring Festival, the Ming army was going all out to attack Shandong. If the Chinese army wanted to gain a foothold in the south, they had to control Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan and Guizhou.

As of now, there is no heavy army group in the entire south that can compete with the Chinese army, but one thing must be paid attention to, and this is a matter of time.

The governments in these places are still loyal to the Ming Dynasty and give these governments time. They will also form more legions, and the most fear is that some strong men and troops will emerge inexplicably.

The Ming Dynasty has been established for two hundred years, and it is held every three years to enroll in the imperial examinations. They have trained many talents. These people are honestly officials in peacetime and do not show any outstanding features. However, if they adapt to the war and gain a firm foothold, they may become the biggest concern of the Chinese army.

For example, Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou were just ordinary people in the past, but the war had trained them into outstanding famous generals. Liu Bu was worried that if there would be countless people like Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou appear under the Ming Dynasty, they would be in trouble.

So they all have to take down these places as soon as possible to ensure the safety behind them.

It is because their Liu family is still facing so many difficulties and difficulties that Liu Bu dare not take it lightly.

It was the Chinese New Year, and he didn't dare to go back to Nanjing to celebrate the Chinese New Year. When his son was born, he didn't dare to go back.

It is worth mentioning that on the same day when the Chinese army captured Chengdu, news of Liu Bu's eldest son's birth came out, and the entire Chinese Empire was very excited about it, which meant the emergence of the third generation of the Chinese Empire.

The third generation of leaders of the Chinese army have been born. They are now destiny and their great fortunes are in control. They are all prosperous. In this era, emerging forces are most afraid of inheritance.

The trust of the big guys in the Ming Dynasty is because the Ming Dynasty has been passed down for more than two hundred years and is still spreading now. If there is no successor to the Chinese Army, they will be very worried. The emergence of the third-generation leader of the Chinese Army will give all the soldiers and civilians a signal, that is, the Chinese Army will not have to worry about his heirs in the next sixty years, which will give all the military and civilians great excitement.

The news came out, and the whole country of the Chinese Empire was joking. The king Liu Yuanqiao called his eldest grandson Liu Yichang, and ordered the reward of the three armies and the amnesty of the world.

The Chinese Army is at a critical moment, and they are still called the Chinese Army, which has already explained their problem. Liu Yuanqiao and others are doing their best to prepare for the founding of the country.

They also learned from Zhu Yuanzhang's past, becoming the King of Wu first, and then the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Now he has been the king of the king for a while, and it is time to prepare for the founding of the country.

At this moment, they have not yet established a country and have not regarded themselves as emperors. This will give the soldiers who follow them to conquer the world a wrong signal. Everyone will think that he is not brave enough to be called emperor, and he dare not be called emperor. Why do you rebel with you and why do you fight with the Ming Dynasty?

This is almost called everyone's wishes, so a large number of senior officials of the Chinese Army quickly accelerated the pace of founding the country under the leadership of Liu Yuanqiao.

The capture of Sichuan is a great auspicious sign for them. The birth of the eldest grandson is better and more exciting news, which makes everyone full of confidence in the Chinese army. They believe that the Chinese army can have today because of destiny.

The occupation of Sichuan greatly increased the strength of the Chinese army and became uncontrollable. If it were in the past, although it was called a confrontation between the north and the south, the Ming Dynasty could still pass through Sichuan to pass their orders from the north to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guangxi, and they could still control these places remotely.

However, with Huguang being occupied by them and Sichuan being occupied by them, they began to isolate the Ming Dynasty from the southern part of Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan and Guizhou, and these places became so-called enclaves.

The people, military and civilians in these places were unable to hand over their grain and taxes to the court, and they could not take advantage of the imperial grace and obey the imperial instructions. Everyone could say this. From that moment on, they almost became children without fathers or mothers.

It can be said that the peaches are ripe, and the Chinese army can pick them. What’s hateful is that the Chinese army does not have enough strength and strength to pick these peaches at present.

This is a key area of ​​four provinces and military strategists. It is impossible for them to send only 10,000 or 20,000 people to sweep these places, and at least one hundred thousand troops must be dispatched.

In order to conquer Yunnan, Emperor Taizu sent a general Fu Youde to lead an army of 300,000 to attack, and only attacked a place in Yunnan. If he wanted to take several provinces, he would probably need more troops.

Although the Ming Dynasty had lost control of these places, it did not mean that these places had completely become a homeless land and had no power to resist them.

This is also like other places. The decline of the imperial power and the emergence of the power vacuum were occupied by local tyrants in a blink of an eye.

For example, many people have discovered that local tyrants were always suppressed by the court and dared not act rebelliously. Now the court is isolated by them. The Liu family started their own kingdom through rebellion and successfully established their own kingdom. Since the Liu family can rebel and establish their own kingdom, why can't they do these local forces?

There are many local forces that have this kind of thinking, so we can't blame others. The main reason is that the Liu family rebelled, and the rebellion was successful. This created a very bad example and brought a very bad head.

Others believe that kings, princes, generals and ministers would rather have a genius? A man named Liu, who was a fisherman, could rebel and become an emperor, and a seventh-rank official could rebel and become an emperor. Why can't we have better backgrounds?

Moreover, now the Ming Dynasty lost its deer, and the world was chasing together. The heroes and heroes with ambition in the world should all rise up and pursue their own glory and wealth, rather than surrendering to the Liu family and becoming the Liu family's dog.

Under this idea, there are countless heroes and local tycoons in the four southwestern provinces.

If the Chinese army can pacify these places in a short period of time and eradicate these local forces, they can maximize the vitality of the places. If they do not have the ability to pacify these places in a short period of time, but instead make the power of this place bigger, it will become difficult to conquer this place in the future, and they will face a worse situation, which is to be attacked by the Ming Dynasty from the north and the south.
