"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, the waves wash away the heroes, the right and wrong, success and failure turn into nothing, the green mountains are still there, the sunset is red several times..."

Yang Feng sang loudly like Yang Hongji.

The Yangtze River, which met the Jialing River at his feet, surging away, accompanied by his steps forward, the white ice surface instantly formed in the river water, holding him forward as if he was strolling in the garden, and then instantly disintegrated and merged into the surging river water behind him. On the steep river bank cut by the river water for millions of years in front of him, a broken but familiar city wall stood, an equally familiar city tower, standing at the end of the upward road, overlooking the rolling Yangtze River eastward water.

"It's been more than a hundred years, and it's still the same!"

He said with emotion.

That was the Chongqing city that Lu Wende invited after he teared up Mengge.

And this city gate is Xunfeng Gate, which is later Chaotian Gate.

This ancient city still retains the appearance of Peng Daya's construction more than a hundred years ago, but after more than a hundred years of war and storms, it is even more ruined. It is obvious that the Mongols ruled this land for more than 80 years, and even the population was much smaller than that of Lu Wende. As conquerors, the Mongols were undoubtedly qualified. They swept almost the entire Eurasian continent like a plague, but as rulers, they were completely losers, both in the East and the West. The barbaric and bloody killings and hundreds of millions of white bones only made them majestic in this world for a century.

Then, both in the East and the West, their rule had begun to be overthrown by the rebels.

Including the city in front of you.

The ruler of the city is no longer a Mongolian.

"I am following the will of God Haotian, and I will choose the Lord of the Human World in the lower realm. I will be granted the destiny of heaven. Master Xia is among the candidates. Please lead the way!"

Yang Feng, who stepped onto the shore, said.

Just as he was talking, auspicious light lingered around his body.

Amid the shocked gazes of the fishermen and businessmen around, an officer in charge of the pier security looked at him tremblingly, and then his legs fell down and trembled, lying at his feet. Then the fishermen and businessmen also reacted and knelt down one by one to bow to the gods. Yang Feng raised his hand casually, and the officer was immediately supported by an irresistible force.

"General, please lead the way!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"God, please wait. The villain will report to His Majesty to come out to greet him!"

The officer said tremblingly.

Then he turned around and the nearest horse went straight to the city gate along the upward road.

"The people are in decline!"

Yang Feng looked around and said with emotion.

This is the territory of Ming Yuzhen, a general of the Red Turban Army who had just become emperor. He was a subordinate of Xu Shouhui. He led his troops to attack Sichuan and wiped out the Yuan army. After Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui, Ming Yuzhen became emperor and blocked the Kuimen Gate, cut off relations with him and used Chongqing as the capital to separate Sichuan, and fought with the Yuan army in Yunnan for Yunnan.

However, Ming Yuzhen is very small.

The main reason is that Sichuan has too few populations. This is the main battlefield of the Song and Yuan War. After decades of massacres of the Yuan army, Sichuan, which originally had a population of more than 10 million during the heyday of the Southern Song Dynasty, was finally left with only a few hundred thousand people, and there was almost no increase in the eighty years of the Yuan Dynasty's rule. Chengdu, the original country of Tianfu, shrank into a marginal small town, while Sichuan's core area became Chongqing. It had experienced a period of war before. At this time, even with the hundreds of thousands of subordinates brought by Ming Yuzhen from Hubei, there was not much.

In the second year after Zhu Yuanzhang destroyed the Xia Dynasty, he counted that the population of Sichuan was less than 100,000 households. Even if those hidden households were added, the entire Sichuan would not exceed one million. After twenty years of reproduction, there was basically no war in the Ming Dynasty's destruction of Xia.

Such strength is nothing more than just self-protection.

And Ming Yuzhen is a good person.

Even the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, such as Fang Xiaoru, evaluated him as frugality, promoted culture and education, banned heretics, and bribed taxes. All the people depended on a well-off life. Although they had not been forever in the past years, the people still lamented that they had not yet made any resistance after his son surrendered without any resistance, which was the greatest avoidance of the casualties of the people.

Of course, Yang Feng didn't want to choose him...

Well, he is not trying to take over Ming Yuzhen's body.

In fact, Yang Feng was not going to take over any warlords this time. He just wanted to play the role of the God Envoy of Haotian to choose one of the warlords. After all, being an emperor is no longer attractive to him.

By the way, he had quite a few candidates at this time.

Ming Yuzhen occupied Sichuan, Chen Youliang occupied the two lakes, Zhu Yuanzhang occupied the rich land west of Taihu Lake to north of Jiangxi to Huai'an, Zhang Shicheng occupied the two sides of the Huai River, and then south of Jiangsu to east of Taihu Lake to Shaoxing, an inverted shape bordering Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youding occupied Fujian, Fang Guozhen occupied the southern coast of Zhejiang, including Ningbo, Zhang Liangbi occupied the eastern part of Guanzhong with Chang'an as the core, and Li Siqi occupied Longyou, including Fengxiang.

Standing on the anti-Yuan side are Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang and Ming Yuzhen.

Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youding, who were under the banner of the Yuan Dynasty, were under the name of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youding.

Li Siqi and Zhang Liangbi cooperated with the Yuan Dynasty.

Fang Guozhen was the one who was both an official of the Yuan Dynasty and received an official position in Zhu Yuanzhang and provided ships to Zhang Shicheng.

The Yuan Dynasty was also in a separatist state.

In fact, the Yuan Dynasty had collapsed.

The real control of Emperor Shun of Yuan was probably only in Dadu. This area was cut off from the canal transport, and famines were constantly broken. In the past few years, hundreds of thousands of famines were starved to death in the Dadu area. Fortunately, Zhang Shicheng transported him a batch of food to alleviate the famine. Previously, the two troops of the Red Turban Army, Pan and Guan, set off from Caozhou to Shanxi and then entered Datong, and finally even Shangdu was defeated. Although it was finally destroyed, it completely destroyed the Yuan Dynasty's rule in the north...

The Mongolian Iron Cavalry is really bad.

The dignified nomadic cavalry was played by a group of rebel farmers and they were drilled through four thousand miles on their territory...

What other face do you call yourself nomadic people?

Potou Pan first crossed the Taihang Mountains to the Jinzhong Basin, then rushed out of the Jinzhong Basin, almost taking Baoding, then turned back to Taihang Mountain to break through Datong, then fought from Datong to Shangdu, easily broke through Shangdu and continued eastward to Liaoyang, just like entering a cheating place. Even if the final failure was just because the army went deep too far, it could not be said that they had completely failed at this time, because Mr. Guan's remaining troops were still outside the border and threatened Shangdu from time to time.

The Mongolian cavalry is so bad that the local officials and powerful people are not blind.

If you don’t control one side at this time, you will be crazy!

For example, Li Siqi and Zhang Liangbi once killed other generals on the front line and then divided their subordinates. Emperor Shun of Yuan didn't even dare to ask questions.

But even though the world was so decayed, Emperor Shun of Yuan and his son Ayushirida still fought internally. The former was dominating the throne regardless of the government, while the latter was responsible for working for him and the crown prince was far away. In this case, there was definitely an internal struggle. The former formed an alliance with Boluo Temur, while Boluo Temur controlled the army from Shanxi to Datong, and formed an alliance with Zhang Liangbi who occupied Guanzhong. Ayushirida formed an alliance with Wang Baobao, Wang Baobao controlled the army from Hebei, Shandong, Henan, and formed an alliance with Li Siqi who controlled Longyou. In the end, there was an internal melee. They had no intention of going south to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang and others also fought each other continuously and had no time to fight the Northern Expedition.

I have to say that they are all weird!

For the Yuan Dynasty, the wisest thing at this time should be to deal with the rebellion first. Whether Bolo Timur's elite troops went south from Guanzhong to Hanzhong and into Sichuan to destroy Ming Yuzhen, or Wang Baobao's army took advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's battle with Chen Youliang, or seized Chen Youliang's Wuchang from the Han River or crossed the Huai River to attack Zhu Yuanzhang's Hefei, or carried Zhang Shicheng to the south along the canal, the final result was the situation of destroying the Southern Song Dynasty that year.

But they don't!

Wang Baobao and Boluo Timur continued to be popular in the north and grabbed each other's territory.

And they fight like an irreconcilable battle.

For the heroes in the south, as long as they cooperate, Zhu Yuanzhang went north along the canal, Chen Youliang went north along the Han River, and Zhang Shicheng captured the Shandong Peninsula, and eventually they were all in a situation where they went straight to the capital.

But neither of them.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang were just trying their best.

Instead, Zhang Shicheng went to deliver food to Emperor Shun of Yuan. Even if he was trying to deceive Hangzhou, controlled by the Yuan army, it was too much. After all, he started his anti-Yuan family. Even if it was not the Red Turban Army system, he also took advantage of this east wind. You should know that he belonged to the capital enemy. Emperor Shun of Yuan relied on his food to survive the previous famine.

Chen Youding also regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty and ran to stab Chen Youliang in the back. It must be noted that although their names looked like brothers, this was just a coincidence and actually had nothing to do with it. This guy was quite accomplished to be a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty. He traveled thousands of miles from Fujian to replenish supplies to Emperor Shun across the sea every year.

During this period, Ming Yuzhen did some serious work.

Originally, next year, his general Wan Sheng led his army south to capture Kunming and drove the Liang King of the Yuan Dynasty to the mountains. As a result, the Duan family, who had originally robbed his ancestors of his ancestors, actually helped the Mongols. Wan Sheng went deep into the distance and was unable to succeed, and had to withdraw from Kunming again. It was not until Mu Ying and Lan Yu's southern expedition that they recaptured. It has to be said that many things in this chaotic era cannot be considered with normal minds. Many people have already felt that they are conquered.

Fortunately, all of this is about to become history.

"I'm here, it's dawn!"

Yang Feng muttered to himself reservedly.
Chapter completed!
