Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 159 Hu Dahai Discovers the New World of America

"Warning!" Duan Gong shouted loudly.

Immediately, all the soldiers on the city wall were ready to fight, each holding a weapon in their hands, and took a defensive posture.

After a while, the knight on horseback rushed to the city and got off his horse.

It turned out to be the horse scout of the Dali Army itself.

Duan Gong immediately sent someone to bring him in.

"What's going on?" Duan Gong frowned and asked.

"Boss, I just received the news that Chen Youliang is leading an army to Puzhou. It is estimated that they will arrive in Puzhou in a few days." The knight said.

"Do you know how many soldiers Chen Youliang brought?" Duan Gong asked.

"It is said that there are about [-]." The knight replied.

"What? About [-] yuan, Chen Youliang is crazy, isn't he afraid of a fire in the backyard?" Duan Gong's face changed after hearing the news.

Duan Gong didn't believe the [-] army that Chen Youliang claimed before, but the [-] reported by Tan Ma should not be wrong now.

Even if it is an army of 1, it is not something that Duan Gong's [-] men can defeat.

Duan Gong just couldn't figure it out. Could it be that if Chen Youliang came out in full force, he wouldn't be afraid of rebellion in Dali and Kunming cities behind?
"Go down and rest first!" Duan Gong waved his hand and said.

After the knight left, Duan Gong fell into silence again.

After a while, Duan Gong stood up, and then ordered: "Send an order, let all the officials in the city come to the meeting hall to discuss matters immediately!"

Soon, all the officials in the government office of Puzhou gathered together, and basically all the officials in Puzhou were here this time.

"Everyone, Chen Youliang's army is less than three hundred miles away from Puzhou, what do you think we should do?" Duan Gong sat on a chair and asked calmly.

"My lord, the general thinks that we should fortify the walls and clear the country, and wait for the enemy to chaos themselves." An official said.

"The final general seconded the proposal!" Another general stood up next to him and said.

Duan Gong shook his head, and then said: "The enemy army is coming so fiercely, we can't stop them with strong walls and clear fields, but Chen Youliang has a lot of firearms, which can easily destroy the city and pull out the stronghold."

"This..." Everyone was stunned when they heard Duan Gong's words.

"If Chen Youliang doesn't have many troops to attack, we can still hold on, but since Chen Youliang has so many troops, we will definitely not be able to defend Puzhou, so let's change our goal to preserve our strength and give up Puzhou City!" Duan Gong said firmly.

Everyone knew that what Duan Gong said made sense.

But if I really want to give up Puzhou City, I feel a little bit reluctant.

Because, once they lost Puzhou, the revival of Dali Kingdom would be in vain. This was the last city in Duan Gong's hands.

"Boss, Puzhou can't be lost. What about the people in Puzhou? They have lived in Puzhou for generations." An official said worriedly.

"Boss, Puzhou City must not be lost!" The other officials followed suit.

Duan Gong took a deep breath, and then said: "Chen Youliang's army is too strong, since Puzhou can't stand it, then leave Chen Youliang an empty city, and lead the people of Puzhou to retreat."

"retreat?"

"Everyone in the city?"

"Where do you retreat to?"

After everyone heard Duan Gong's decision, their eyes widened and they asked with doubts on their faces.

"Let's avoid the front for the time being, and retreat to Bangya first, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback!" Duan Gong explained slowly.

"Boss, Bangya is not our territory!"

"Sir, the land in Pang Nga is barren, how can we support the soldiers and civilians?"

"When Chen Youliang occupies Puzhou, will he rest assured that we will stay in Pangja?"

"That's right, I think it's better to fight to the death?"

Everyone immediately opposed it, and their opposition was not without reason.

If Duan Gong's plan is really to be followed, once they continue to retreat southward, Chen Youliang will definitely occupy the whole of Yunnan. Here's the chance.

Instead of doing that, it is better to use Puzhou's city defense to repel Chen Youliang's attack.

Fight for the last chance of life for yourself.

Faced with the doubts of many generals, Duan Gong has his own ideas.

He waved his hand to stop the quarrel among the generals, and then said calmly.

"Now that Chen Youliang's army is strong, it is no longer something we can resist. Instead of hoping to repel the powerful enemy in Puzhou, it is better to go south to avoid the edge, and we can also use this time to find reinforcements outside."

"Looking for reinforcements?"

Hearing that they were looking for reinforcements, the generals seemed to see hope again, but the light in their eyes soon dimmed again, because Bazara Varmi, the king of Liang in Yunnan in the Yuan Dynasty, had already been defeated and died. The Mongolian soldier was also killed by Chen Youliang, where did the reinforcements come from?
"Although Da Yuan is no longer good, I still have a Da Ming." Duan Gong said calmly.

"What? Does the manager mean to lead us to surrender to the Ming army?"

These Dali generals were not very optimistic about the decision to surrender to the Ming army.

Because they had heard about what the Ming army did, they were no worse than Chen Youliang at all.

The Ming army not only fought against local tyrants and divided the fields in the Central Plains, but even the chieftains in Guizhou, which were close at hand, were beaten by the Ming army. The land and people they had ruled for hundreds of years were all divided up by the Ming army.

If the Ming army came to Yunnan, the rights of these Dali generals would definitely not be recognized. Even the Ming army led by Duan Gong to surrender would be no different from surrendering to Chen Youliang in the end.

"Chen Youliang is a prodigal dog. He lost the territory of Hubei and entered Sichuan, and then came to attack our Yunnan. What he wants is to rely on the manpower and material resources of Yunnan and Sichuan to counterattack the Ming army, so he will definitely use means to squeeze us, and If the Ming army captures Yunnan, we can help the Ming army manage the people and land in Yunnan without worrying about what enemies the Ming army will deal with. At that time, the Ming army will definitely put their swords and guns into the warehouse, and the horses will be sent to Nanshan, which will give us a chance to make a comeback .” Duan Gong said with a smile.

The truth of this, a group of Dali generals soon understood.

Since the turmoil in the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yunnan has been ruled by the local chieftain forces.

No matter how powerful the Central Plains court is, the governance of Yunnan is nothing more than appointing some higher-level officials.

Then the following specific powers are still implemented by the local powerful chieftain.

For example, Duan Gong's general manager of Dali handles far more practical affairs than Liang Wang's Zaravalmy.

So Duan Gong has enough reason to believe.

After Daming seized Yunnan, without Chen Youliang as an enemy, he would definitely implement a peaceful rule there.

Duan Gong and the others can gradually restore their dominance in Yunnan. The Ming army has the name, but the actual power belongs to Duan Gong and others.

Duan Gong and others felt that the Ming Dynasty ruled Yunnan just like the Yuan Dynasty ruled Yunnan.

Duan Gong and others thought about using Daming to eliminate Chen Youliang, and then let the Dali people restore their original power in Yunnan. After the Ming army established rule in Yunnan, Duan Gong and others could slowly plan the great cause of restoring the country.

"I'll write a letter myself immediately, and you send the most capable people to deliver this letter to the Ming army."

. . . . . . .

There is a small island in the vast sea, standing alone on the sea, a few clouds of cooking smoke rising from the small island, showing that someone is active on it.

In the harbor on the inner side of the island, there are seven huge sailing ships moored on the shore.

Hu Dahai, the Protectorate of Daming Haidong, drifted to this isolated island because of that hurricane.

Originally, in that storm, the loss of Hu Dahai and his fleet was not too serious. Although three warships were damaged and sank, most of the crew were rescued by other warships.

It's a pity that the sails and masts of these warships were severely damaged, and the power of the warships was affected. Many ships could only drift with the current. In order to ensure that all the crew returned to Hu Dahai, they had to lead the remaining two intact warships to follow these The damaged ships drifted with the current. After drifting for half a month, they finally found this small island. They just rested on the island for two days. Most of the ships have been repaired, but now they have lost their way. , As for how to get back to Haidongdu Talisman or a certain familiar place, everyone does not have an accurate direction.

"Daddy, how long do we have to wait here?" Hu Guanzhu, Hu Dahai's son, asked.

The other generals also looked at Hu Dahai.

Now that everyone has no idea, they can only count on the Lord Hu Dahai to get a charter in the future.

"Where we are now, I don't know!

If you follow the original route and go back, I'm afraid you don't know what dangers you will encounter. "Hu Dahai said with some worry.

During the half a month of their wandering, the fresh water and food on board had almost been eaten up. If they returned along the original dangerous sea route, many crew members would probably die of hunger and thirst on the sea. , so now if you want to go back to Haidong Donghu Mansion, you must take a safe and secure route.

After hearing Hu Dahai's words, everyone was silent, all frowning.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Hu Dahai suddenly remembered...

In the cabin, there is a treasured navigation cheat book, which was taught to him by Zhu Han at the beginning, and he can use the knowledge in it to locate the location of the sea area

After more than half a day of measurement, Hu Dahai has basically determined their current location by relying on the Tianguan positioning method that Zhu Han gave him.

"Damn it, we are thousands of miles away from Haidong now. If we go back the same way for such a long distance, I'm afraid we will die of starvation and thirst on the sea." Hu Dahai looked at the measurement results in his hand , feel very worried.

Then, after some surveys around Hu Dahai, they basically determined that there are many similar deserted islands around this isolated island. These deserted islands are arranged along the sea from west to east like a long chain. Each island It's only three or two days' journey between them, and the nearest one can be reached in only one day's voyage.

Finally, under Hu Dahai’s proposal, everyone agreed to continue sailing along this string of desolate islands, while sailing, while collecting food and fresh water on the islands, and wait until the preparation is sufficient, and then follow the original route Sailing back tentatively.

In fact, what Hu Dahai didn’t know was that the islands they discovered were in the Thousand Islands in the northern Pacific Ocean. The Thousand Islands are located in a series of volcanic and seismic belts, inlaid in the Pacific Ocean like a pearl necklace, and continue to extend eastward, directly reaching the land of North America. .

Of course, Hu Dahai and others didn't know about the New World of America, because this was an undeveloped area left by Zhu Han for the future Ming Dynasty.

Hu Dahai and others led the fleet to explore along the island chain, but soon they made a discovery that shocked and delighted all of them.

On several desolate islands, there are actually a lot of gold exposed on the ground.

These golds are naturally formed. According to the popular name, they have a name called dog head gold.

Because these naturally formed gold elements look strange.

They look like crooked dog heads.

Almost every one of Hu Dahai and the Ming soldiers under his command carried a large piece of gold with them.

There are few people on these small islands, so much golden gold is left on the wasteland for the Ming soldiers to pick up at will, and there are many wild animals on these small islands.

These wild beasts had never been seen by anyone hunting Hu Dahai and others, so instead of fleeing, they surrounded them curiously.

Some fat deer and roe deer were captured one by one, and then they made the game into dried meat.

After continuous forward hunting, Hu Dahai led his soldiers, and at the beginning of winter, they had piled up several whole boats of food, and all of them were smoked and high-quality bacon.

And just when they were about to rely on the hoarded food and fresh water and return to Haidong Protectorate along the original road, a winter storm suddenly struck.

The weather on these small islands is extremely harsh, far colder than Haidong Dufu Mansion.

When Hu Dahai and his fleet were sailing at sea, they couldn't resist such a strong wind and waves, so they had to continue sailing eastward with the wind and waves.

There are a series of small islands on the road ahead, which can allow them to avoid wind and waves when they are most dangerous.

Everyone felt anxious again, not knowing where they were going and when they would be able to return to Haidong Governor's Mansion.

Mongolian Plateau, Hangai Mountain.

In ancient times, Hangai Mountain had another name, which was Yanran Mountain.

The Yanran Mountains were once the holy land of the Xiongnu Empire. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Le Shi Yanran and Feng Lang Juxu had the highest level of martial arts.

The wind howled, and the snow covered the mountains and grasslands.

Tens of thousands of Mongolian troops gathered at the foot of Mount Hang'ai, and they were ordered by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to set up soldiers and horses to go to the grasslands to defend against the possible attack of the Ming army.

It's just that after the tens of thousands of troops gathered at the foot of Hang'ai Mountain, they didn't advance an inch to the east for more than a month.

Tuolibuhua, the leader of Moxi Mongolia, looked at the tens of thousands of tents at the foot of the mountain, with a happy smile on his face.

Tuolibuhua is a descendant of the Mongolian Great Khan Alibuge.

At that time, Brother Alibu and Kublai Khan competed for the throne of the Mongolian Great Khan. The two sides fought fierce battles on the grassland that lasted for several years, and finally relied on the Han army in the Central Plains and Kublai Khan, the king of Eastern Mongolia, to win the Mongolian Great Khan. Khan's victory in the battle.

Ali Buge was defeated and captured.

Later, under the arrangement of Kublai Khan, Ali Buge was poisoned to death in a place of confinement.

The descendants of Ari Boke continue to thrive in Moxi Mongolia. Although nearly 100 years have passed, the hatred for seizing the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia has never dissipated.

As a descendant of Brother Ali Buhua, Tuolibuhua now sees the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty being driven back to the grassland by the Ming army. Not only is he not worried, but he is very happy.
