Chapter 528 is simply chilling
This was truly a great victory, so everyone who heard the good news cheered and rejoiced.
The Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has been captured alive, so how far are they from complete victory?
You know, how was Daqing founded?
This aspect is similar to the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, which was established after the Yuan Dynasty was defeated. Therefore, the hatred between the Han people in Guanzhong and the Northern Yuan Dynasty has a long history.
In addition, the people in the northern border area and the Northern Yuan Dynasty had been provoking and fighting each other for many years.
Therefore, this news is particularly exciting for the people. Coupled with the country's sense of honor, they naturally feel honored to hear of such a great victory!
As time went by, more details about the great victory soon came in.
"The Northern Expedition Army was able to achieve a great victory despite the lack of supplies. They are truly brave!"
Those who heard the news were all surprised. They had never expected that under such difficult conditions, on the vast grassland,
After chasing for thousands of miles, Duke Fu and his son were able to completely wipe out the troops led by Ben Yali, so only Tai Alu was left.
"That's nothing. Your news is a bit behind schedule. I heard that the greatest credit for this northern expedition should not be attributed to the Fu family army."
A well-informed person explained with great excitement, causing the people around him to exclaim in amazement!
"What? How could it not be from the Fu family army? Who else could it be? Didn't they say that General Fu and his army captured Ben Yali alive? How could this be false?"
"Yes, yes! The greatest military achievement belongs not to the Fu family army but to General Fu. I heard that during this northern expedition, the general repeatedly caught the enemy by surprise and defeated them!"
The well-informed person said mysteriously:
"You don't know this, right? My aunt's sister's cousin is on duty at Prime Minister Ning's residence. According to reliable sources,
The Northern Expedition Army was in a situation where the enemy had fortified their positions on the grasslands and had no access to water or food supplies. It was the new marching tents developed by the military supply dealer in Tangjia Village that
It is said that the tent is so magical that even in the desert where water is extremely scarce, it can collect moisture in the air and obtain dew by using the temperature difference between morning and night.
And the compressed dry food they produce, it is said that a small piece can keep a person from going hungry for a day or two.
It was with the help of these things that the Northern Expedition Army was able to deal with the Northern Yuan Army for such a long time under such difficult circumstances.
I also heard that when they felt that there was not enough food, Duke Fu and the Crown Prince planned to withdraw their troops and replenish their food and grass before fighting again.
We only had about 20 days' worth of food left, so we didn't want to pursue them further into the desert.
But I didn't expect that the compressed dry food, soaked in water and turned into a paste, could actually last for four or five days, which is why we were able to defeat the remaining troops of Benyari in one battle."
What this person said sounded like the truth, and even those who didn't believe it began to believe it a little.
In addition, there were one or two people in the crowd who had cooperated with the Nine Clans, and they also said:
"Have you heard of the newly opened department store? It's owned by the military supply dealers in Tangjia Village. The sports boots in the supermarket are the military boots they provide to the army.
It is said that they are called sports boots because they are very comfortable when worn for walking, running, or doing sports.
Think about it, if the boots were developed by the military for marching and fighting, wouldn’t they be uncomfortable for us to walk in on a daily basis?”
"Yes, you can see that I am wearing these boots. They are waterproof to a certain extent. It is said that they are not a problem for stepping on snow. They are non-slip, moisture-proof and warm."
"I also heard that the stewed meat, luncheon meat, and other cooked foods in their supermarkets are all provided to the army. In the past, who among us who had a little bit of financial resources would eat these? But you don't know, right?
In fact, these pig offal, when cooked, not only taste good, but also have many benefits for our health.
I bought some yesterday and brought them home. There were nursery rhymes written on them, which were about the benefits of eating different parts of pig offal to our bodies.
The vivid descriptions given by several insiders made everyone amazed. It was so magical that no one could have imagined it before.
The victory of a war does not depend on the famous Duke Fu, General Fu, or even the Fu family army.
Instead, he was a small military supplier who researched magical tents, military boots, and various military rations.
Even if people have not seen the most amazing compressed tents and military rations with their own eyes, they can still imagine the wonders of those things from the stories told by several insiders.
Recalling the news from the front, the Northern Yuan army burned grasslands, polluted water sources and other brutal means,
If it weren't for these newly developed military supplies for the Northern Expedition Army, the consequences would be simply horrifying.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The Prince of Yan, the Prince of Yan's son, and all the civil and military officials in the court were fascinated as they listened to the messenger reporting the latest news one by one.
"call!"
King Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
He shuddered all over just imagining the scene. In such a serious situation, without marching tents and compressed biscuits, the consequences would be disastrous.
Even if the nephew is a good fighter, he can't do anything without sufficient water and food supplies. After all, soldiers are ordinary people and it is impossible for them to fight the enemy on an empty stomach.
Shen Zhiqiu was indeed a good man. He did not disappoint him. He had placed a heavy bet on this war.
It can be said that half of the troops in the North have been invested. If something unexpected happens, Beiyan will really have to withdraw from the stage of Daqing.
Fortunately, the Northern Expedition Army has already won most of the battle.
"In this northern expedition, 150,000 troops fought against an army of 500,000. With such a huge disparity in the battle, we have achieved the results we have today, which is enough to go down in history..."
The official in charge of recording the words and deeds of Prince Yan immediately lowered his head and began to write quickly, wishing he could write down all the details of the battle. This battle was destined to be a legendary battle.
He also recorded: "The 307th Military Supply Village, the loyal tribe provided new marching tents, new military rations: compressed dry food, luncheon meat, etc. In this battle, it laid a solid foundation for the victory of the army..."
All the court officials could not help but nod their heads. It can be said that such a great victory could be achieved under such severe circumstances, which was unprecedented and will never be repeated.
Tangjia Village and the loyal clan have indeed made great contributions, but of course we cannot ignore Duke Fu's ability in marching and fighting. He grasped the situation just right, and the bravery of his soldiers made this battle a success.
A famous general and a scholar, who actually took care of both inside and outside, such a perfect match between the front and the back, led to this almost impossible victory.
Let’s not talk about the various guerrilla battles that preceded it, or how they survived the prairie fires, let’s just talk about the final thousands of miles of pursuit.
They kept wandering in the desert grassland, and in the final battle, they killed 50,000 men and captured Ben Yali alive. The Northern Expedition Army had no more than a thousand killed and five thousand injured. Such a record cannot be achieved by just anyone.
