Chapter 94: Clouds move in all directions

1351 AD was an era of storm. The land of southern China was filled with smoke. The Communist Party equipped with rifles and cannons wiped out the Mongolian Yuan forces entrenched in the decades like a gust of wind swept away fallen leaves. In this war, the Yuan army, which had only a small number of primitive firearms, was suppressed by the republic that was leading one era. The Yuan army, mainly swords, guns, bows and arrows, and the servants composed of local gentry jin scattered like birds and beasts under the attack of a modern army supported by the industrial system.

The term industrial country appeared in the Republic's newspapers and quickly spread throughout Jiangnan. Fang's army, who had already had some confidence, once again found himself as fragile as a baby.

Compared with the one-sided form of Southern China, flesh and blood were flying across the land of Northern China, and the cannons hit the human body and caused a blood mist. But more often, it was a collision between cold weapons. Both sides were recruiting soldiers, and the Northern Red Turban Army had already dispersed like wildfires and had as many as 700,000 followers. However, the Red Turban Army also had its own embarrassment, and he was really unable to sell supplies from the Republic.

Cheng Pan had handed over the provisions of aid to the Red Turban Army in accordance with the agreement, but Cheng Pan is not ready to give it to him now. Although the Republic now has a certain amount of surplus grain with the development of the Luzon territory and can also provide enough iron tools for the Northern Red Turban Army, Cheng Pan is unwilling to bear this gradually expanding burden. Moreover, even if the Republic undertakes this part of the logistics, the Red Turban Army will not be grateful, but will think that it is the Republic's ulterior motive. He helped the Republic resist the northern attack, which is what they should do. Once the Republic stops supply, the Red Turban Army will come south to grab it. Instead of doing this, it is better not to give it to him. Cheng Pan still knows the truth about Mien fighting against Mi Qiu.

After Cheng Pan handed over the goods, his performance with the Red Turban Army was as anxious as a passerby, and the Ming Cultivate had gathered 400,000 people, and now there was a serious lack of armor, weapons and food. Although the gold and silver were robbed, the Republic did not collect these precious metals. Because it has entered a war period, the grain is hard currency. Not only the Republic, but also the Fang family army has stopped exporting grain. Unfortunately, the Fang family army has not implemented enough, and some of the grain has flowed into the north.

The cold trading period between the Republican government and the Red Turban Army only happened for two months and ended. The person who broke the deadlock was a man named Ke Bin from the Republican Foreign Trade Group. Ke Bin used to be a coal miner for a year and later joined the foreign trade group after leaving the mine. Since the discovery of the Huaibei Da Coal Mine, he began to become interested in discovering other unknown coal mines. Unfortunately, except for the large mine in Huainan, there are few coal mines in other places. It seems that there are only mines in Huainan, south of the Huai River. So Ke Bin turned his attention to the places controlled by the Yuan army on the other side of the Huai River.

The foreign trade team gave him some encouragement to his behavior. As the scale of steel production grew larger and larger, and the Republic began to use mechanical forces to replace animal power, hydraulic power and coal mines became larger and larger. The Republic was no longer limited to the output of coal mines under its control, and purchasing coal from other places became an option. Unfortunately, the forces around him did not produce coal, and Fang Jiajun originally wanted to find coal in his own territory but could not find it. Now their iron smelting industry uses wood.

The local government of Huaibei of the Yuan Dynasty also accused Ke Bin of looking for minerals in Dadong north of the Huai River, because the Republic had already said hello to them and could sell them to themselves. This was a big problem of money. Local officials of the Yuan Dynasty neither opposed or assisted this kind of mineral search. It was entirely up to Ke Bin to lead a few people around.

Soon the Red Turban Army began to rag in all directions. Ke Bin, who was swept by the Red Turban Army, once lost contact with the Republic. However, with the subsequent contact between the Red Turban Army and the Republic, Ke Bin contacted the organization. The Foreign Trade Group and the Red Turban Army re-determined the matter of looking for minerals in Huaibei. Later, with the indifference between the Red Turban Army and the Republic, the Red Turban Army, which was short of materials, thought of this mine search team, who wanted to ease relations with the Republic, and hoped that the mine veins could be found as a source of wealth. The Red Turban Army provided a large number of personnel to this mine search team, and of course the Republic needed to be responsible for their food. Of course, the Foreign Trade Group would not treat the people who worked unfairly, not only gave them food, but also asked Ke Bin to evaluate people's performance and give money based on the evaluation.

Suddenly, the prospecting team, which had a population of more than 1,000 people, determined that there was a large mine in Huaibei that was comparable to the Huainan coal mine. Everyone was very excited when there was a sign of victory. The eyeliner buried by the Red Turban Army in the prospecting team also spread the news. The Red Turban Army immediately sent more people to excavate and finally discovered the Huaibei coal mine.

The mine was found, and the two sides had the basis for continuing cooperation. This batch of coal mines was mainly in Suzhou, which was only about 60 kilometers away from the territory of the Republic on the north bank of the Huai River. Of course, as the Red Turban Army, who occupied the coal mine, was very happy about the sudden enthusiasm of the Republic. They were also a little vigilant. The joy was because this coal mine was very valuable in the eyes of the Red Turban Army, in other words, it was very valuable. The warning was because the neighbor of the Republic was too strong, and they were afraid that they would become the guilty party with a treasure and were forced to rob him by the Republic.

The Republic has no intention to send troops to the north for the time being, and the entire Republic has had a serious shortage of basic cadres. The Communist Party, which had originally expanded, has once again been forced to disarmament. A large number of soldiers participated in the establishment of local order in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and other places, and the work of cultivating local grassroots cadres. Now, the entire Republic has eliminated the necessary garrison troops in various places in the central territory, and all mobile forces are only eight divisions and 50,000. The Republic is now willing to do so but not enough in Huaibei.

The focus of the discussion between the two sides was whether to build a railway to Suzhou. As the wary Red Turban Army, one of the Red Turban Army had its own counselors. These counselors told the senior officials of the Red Turban Army that the King of Shu was greedy during the Spring and Autumn Period.

The King of Qin pretended to give him stone cow dung gold, and sent someone to build the road with Qin, and finally the Qin State destroyed the country through this road. So no matter how the Republic explained the economic benefits of selling coal in large quantities after the railway was opened. However, the Red Turban Army disagreed. In fact, in the end, the envoy of the Red Turban Army said explicitly: "You are a country of tigers and wolves, and we cannot be as stupid as the King of Shu." This sentence was brought to Cheng Pan. Cheng Pan felt speechless. Although he did not have a good intention for building this railway, he wanted to quickly obtain resources, but there was no need to build a railway to fight. In Suzhou, the Communist Party Army could only rush to the river. The north bank of the Huai River was a plain along the river. A flat horse was not a place where Shu Road was difficult to reach the sky at the beginning.

The Republic was helpless about the Red Turban Army's vigilance. In fact, although the Republic led by Cheng Pan is now located in Chu, the surrounding forces called the Republic Qin State, which has a strict legal system, a powerful army, and a diplomacy that can turn against each other for the sake of interests. Wherever the Republic began to call Cheng Pan the King of Qin. In the eyes of the gentry outside the Republic's territory, Cheng Pan had the overbearing way of governing the country by the King of Qin, and at the same time inherited the influence of the King of Qin's shamelessness for the sake of interests. The King of Qin in the Warring States Period openly acted like a rogue for a piece of Heshi Bi. In order to alienate the relationship between Chu and Qi, Zhang Yi, his adviser, first five hundred miles, later shamelessly said it was five miles. Although Cheng Pan had never done this, he forced the gentry to divide the land and instigated the internal struggle between clans for family property, and at the same time announced that the landlord had no property rights to the land that had been abandoned for several years. These things were more shameless than the King of Qin before.

With these bad reputations, other forces were careful when dealing with the Republic. The Red Turban Army, who couldn't handle it, had to follow their methods. The Red Turban Army provided workers, and the Republic provided machines and a small number of mentors to start mining, and sold them to the Republic at a basic price of 50 kilograms of rice per ton of coal mine. Of course, there are many details, such as the prices of coal mines of different quality, and they must be subdivided. As for the wages of miners, the Red Turban Army was decided by the Red Turban Army, but the Republic's friendship advised not to be too low, otherwise it would undermine the enthusiasm of workers.

The Red Turban Army, which had become a big business with the Republic, immediately shook. Countless mine caves were beaten out by coal miners of the Red Turban Army. In the first month, 5,000 tons of coal were distributed. These coal mines were transported by four-wheeled carriages to deliver grain on the north bank of the Huai River.

After obtaining a material exchange method, the Red Turban Army became lively on the battlefield, and the war machines of the Red Turban Army began to approach Henan and Shandong. At the same time, the steel plants and machine factories south of the Huai River developed rapidly, with iron ore transported from the southern railway, coal mines transported from local and north, and finally cheap labor to escape from the north. The Huainan Industrial Base began to have the capital to compete with the Ma'anshan Industrial Zone.

In 1352 AD, the Republic had ended the battle and began to concentrate on digestion. However, the forms on China became even more chaotic. Since the Republic occupied Jingzhou, Ming Yuzhen, a member of the Ming Cult, brought his backbone into Sichuan to rebel, and relied on the complex terrain in eastern Sichuan to consume the Yuan army. Fighting with the Yuan army led by Duan Duan of Dali, Duan Yu was no longer a few grandsons. At this time, the Duan family had been enfeoffed by the Yuan Dynasty for ten generations of Dali General Managers, and they were already loyal to the Yuan Dynasty. Now Duan Gong has obtained his wife or the daughter of King Liang. Who is King Liang? It is his father of King Ruyang. Zhao Min now wants to call Duan Gong an uncle.

In other places, in Taizhou, Jiangsu, next door to the Rugao territory of the Republic, Zhang Shicheng led the uprising. However, they fought to kill corrupt officials and did not directly point the gun at the highest level of the Yuan Dynasty.

As for the Fang family army, it was still in accordance with the fact that the musketeers and spearmen formed a square formation force one to three. A total of four divisions were formed and they began to expand to Hangzhou in the north again. At this time, the Gonghe Army did not stop it because the Republic would really have no spare energy to expand in the mainland in the next two years. However, the Republic did not show weakness. In April 1352, when the holiday army attacked Hangzhou again, the Gonghe Army's Taiwan fleet came to the sea near Taizhou to show off its military power. After taking the Fang family army's envoy to visit the test firing of the high-explosive bomb, Lu Hai took out a map and drew a line in the southwest of Taihu Lake, prohibiting the Fang family army from crossing. This threat was domineering. But

For the Fang family army, which is all located near the sea, it has to accept this proposal. Now the Fang family army knows that their strength is still unable to resist the attack of the power of the Communist Party Army expedition to Dadu four years ago. Song Lian, as the negotiator of the Fang family army, wanted to argue several times. However, a weak country has no diplomacy. Now there is no other force with the strength to restrain the Communist Party Army. Therefore, the Fang family army has to accept it. This incident caused a huge response in the Zhejiang Shilin. All scholars began to fiercely criticize the Republic's unkind and unrighteous practices. This article is too easy to do. First, the Republican army prevented the Fang family army from going north to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. Secondly, it was unrighteous to allies.

The most ruthless people in the world are often the weaker side. The Chinese embassy was bombed and China was indignantly protested, but the United States reported it a little, looking for China to shelter the targets of the local attack and criticize China. Americans didn't care at all. The United States was the strongest in the 1990s. Why bother with the opinions of a poor country? But after 2008, the United States began to lose its mentality at that time. It was always looking for China's problems in the newspapers. If you talk too much, it means you are weak. What's more obvious is that Japan, China's economic strength was not as good as theirs, and it was normal to speak when it was not as good as theirs, but as China surpassed them, the language became sour.
