Throughout July, the Ming army's attacks in the southwest Jinghu North Road, Jinghu South Road, Jinghu South Road and Jiangnan West Road were all very smooth, and there was no established Song army resisting.

Wherever the Ming army went, the Southern Song officials, wealthy families, and powerful people chose to surrender, and the very few chose to resist in an armed manner, most of them chose to escape.

They took their families and all the soft and soft things they could carry, and fled to the east together, and ran towards Lin'an, trying to escape to Lin'an and get royal blessing.

When "Hongwu Political Discussion" spread throughout the Southern Song Dynasty, the upper class of literate people in the Southern Song society had basically read this book. They were very familiar with Su Yonglin's policies against the Southern Song Dynasty, and also knew Su Yonglin's revolutionary theory and liquidation policy.

So at this moment when the Ming army headed south, they generally speculated that they could not survive under the Ming Dynasty.

They are all landlords and powerful people, with thousands of acres of land in their families, and hundreds of tenants with hundreds of tens of thousands of households. In terms of identity attributes, they are clearly part of the [Premier People] that must be cracked down on in the Ming Dynasty's policies.

In fact, if you are a superior person alone, you don’t have to escape, because in the land policy of the Ming Dynasty, the superior person also needs to be divided into levels.

Those who will be confiscated and destroyed are the most evil people, such as the kind of human beings who bully men and women and do not act like human beings.

Those who have a little conscience, as long as they don’t do anything that is harmful to nature, they honestly hand over the land, the tenants, and then be farmers obediently, live on labor, and be citizens who pay taxes according to law. The Ming government will not physically eliminate them.

But the problem is that under the exploitation system of high internal oppression in the Southern Song Dynasty, people with conscience are as rare and rare as national first-class protected animals.

In general, the actual situation of tenants is infinitely close to that of slaves, and even the lower-class workers of the British Victorian era are not as good as those of them.

You dare not fight back and scold me, let alone personal surplus value, the remaining life of the entire family can be exploited together. Even your husband and wife and children work together as a cattle and horse for the landlords and powerful people. Your luck is almost tenants for generations, and capitalists will cry when they hear it.

When it comes to not being a human being, the most capable old capitalists in the UK have to shout at their experts when they see them, and they are eager to come abroad to study immediately and learn the advanced experience of exploitation and oppression...

Because they knew that their lack of being a human would inevitably be liquidated by the Ming Dynasty, they fled one after another.

This is completely different from the power change of the city wall when the city flag changed into the king's flag during the changes in previous dynasties.

Most of the iron-clad men were scared by the liquidation policies of the Ming government and Su Yonglin. They even heard of the Ming Dynasty's comprehensive liquidation policies in Jiangbei. They thought they didn't have the ability to survive, so they were so scared that they quickly ran to Lin'an.

There were also a very small number of iron-headed kids who felt that they were probably very brave and combat-capable, so they dragged the tenants to launch an armed resistance. As a result, under the fierce attack of the Ming army, they destroyed the family and left nothing behind, and the whole family was hit by the attack.

In addition, there are a very small number of people who are uncommon, holding the "Hongwu Political Commentary" that was regarded as a banned book in the Southern Song Dynasty, claiming that they admire Su Yonglin's policies very much, and they also feel that they should not enjoy so much wealth. They are willing to hand over their wealth and let the Ming government deal with it, hoping to live under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

There are very few such families, very few. Not a county can have a family, but there are indeed, so when these news were summarized to Zhang Yuejing, he was surprised that there could be such a person in the Southern Song Dynasty, where the oppressive system was so perfect.

It's really strange.

No matter what, with the defeat of the Song army and the rapid advance of the Ming army, it was a matter of time before the distance between the four routes was completely guided, and it was not a real problem at all.

At this moment, the small Southern Song court in Lin'an was really like sitting on a crater and watching the volcano erupt. Not to mention that it was as stable as Mount Tai, at least it was shocked.

After learning in April that the Ming army went south to surround the two cities of Xiangfan, the Southern Song court was already very panicked. Zhao Xing was so angry that he became a bedridden emperor. He relied on a six-person team led by Chen Kangbo to preside over the daily government and military affairs, and brought up a support force of 80,000 people to rush to support Xiangfan.

Originally, Chen Kangbo felt that although the combat effectiveness of the Song army was not as good as that of the Ming army, it had at least 80,000 people, as well as 30,000 reinforcements from Sichuan and Shu, and the 40,000 defenders from the two cities of Xiangfan, with the strength of Xiangfan, Li Xianzhong would definitely be able to complete this rescue mission.

Not to mention the great victory, at least it can repel the Ming army and restore the situation to the point before the Ming army heads south.

Then, while the Ming army was resting, they made a free time to deal with the peasant army and relieve their internal worries. In this way, they could almost stabilize the situation and live up to Zhao Sheng's trust.

But the situation did not develop as he expected.

In May, just over a month after Li Xianzhong sent troops to fight, he learned about Li Xianzhong's defeat.

During the confrontation with the Ming army, Li Xianzhong lost a great loss in Zaoyang. Li Xianzhong died in battle himself, and 80,000 troops were wiped out, and few escaped from the battlefield.

The only team of cavalry escaped from the battlefield was Li Xianzhong's intentional instructing them to run wildly, and they ran to death, and almost broke their legs. They finally escaped from the pursuit of the Ming army and fled back to Lin'an, and then brought news of the annihilation of the entire army and Li Xianzhong's final suggestions.

The Ming army was equipped with a new type of firearm, which was of large iron can. It was thick and long and could launch huge projectiles. It sounded like thunder when it was fired. The projectile bombardment was as powerful as the sky and the earth. The military formation could not resist. Once it was hit by the projectile, it could destroy one military formation at a time.

The Ming army also had a small iron can held in their hands. It was thin and thin. It was like an ordinary individual weapon in its hand. It could also fire small projectiles, which were powerful. It could kill people, break people's limbs, and penetrate armor and shields. The Song army's strict military formation was overturned in one encounter and could not compete with it.

Li Xianzhong's personal soldiers burst into tears. Chen Kangbo, who met them, finished Li Xianzhong's last words, and then committed suicide collectively to repay Li Xianzhong's kindness.

After learning about this, Chen Kangbo's mind went blank and he fell to the ground and was at a loss.

Then the news of the annihilation of Li Xianzhong's army spread throughout the court, and a considerable number of civil and military officials in the court and the country directly broke the defense and rushed into the Privy Council like crazy, asking Chen Kangbo for specific information and asking if this matter was true.

Chen Kangbo's mind was blank, describing his dullness and unable to manage his supervisors. He barely maintained his rationality. The Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor Yu Yunwen confirmed the authenticity of the matter to the ministers, but also said that they would immediately come up with strategies to continue to help Xiangfan.

"Xiangfan has not been lost yet! Xiangfan is still in the hands of our army! The Ming army must not cross Xiangfan and attack Jiangnan directly. Don't panic! This is the time when you all work together to overcome the strong! You must be calm! Be sure to..."

Yu Yunwen was interrupted before he finished speaking, but was interrupted by physics.

I don’t know who threw Yu Yunwen into a big mouth and angrily criticized the incompetence of the Privy Council. Then he punched Yu Yunwen, knocked Yu Yunwen to the ground and rolled to the side and couldn’t get up.

Then they broke into the Privy Council, smashed and smashed the Privy Council, and beat Hu Quan, the deputy Privy Councilor who was trying to dissuade him.

Finally, they found Chen Kangbo, who described as dull, and carried Chen Kangbo's collar and asked Chen Kangbo to give an explanation, otherwise they would take him to see the emperor and ask the emperor to kill him.

No one is a fool.

The failure of this military operation completely broke through the psychological safety bottom line of the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The 80,000 troops that Li Xianzhong supported Xiangfan were wiped out. Everyone actually knew what this meant to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Who are Yu Yunwen saying clichés here for whom?

All of them are foxes for thousands of years, why are you playing in the Stories from a Chinese Studio?

Chen Kangbo couldn't say a word, his own head was buzzing. He didn't know how this matter was so far, why Li Xianzhong was defeated so badly, and he didn't know how to deal with the coercion of his ministers.
