Chapter 370

The People's Army crossed the Yangtze River and headed northward. It would arrive at the south bank of the Yellow River in less than a month. The Ming court was in danger. Zhu Yaojiang was crying every day. She was not sad about the impending demise of the Ming Dynasty, but sad about the fate of the Zhu family after the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

After many dynasties ended, the royal family was massacred, and the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty had to end up.

Zhu Yaojiang couldn't sit still. She came to Fang Nan crying, put down all the pride in her heart and knelt down, begging Fang Nan to forgive the lives of other Zhu family members.

This does not include Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Other Zhu family members may save their lives, but Zhu Yijun must die.

Fang Nan picked up Zhu Yaojiang and gently wiped the tears from Zhu Yaojiang's pretty face.

"You don't need to do this. The People's Army will never kill innocent people indiscriminately. The People's Army will not exterminate the clan. As long as they are innocent, they can continue to live. The People's Army will leave them a little wealth and allow them to continue to live a relatively wealthy life."

Fang Nan's words made Zhu Yaojiang feel much better. If the Zhu family was dead, what kind of face would she have to continue to live? This may be one of the reasons why the People's Army could defeat the Ming Dynasty. If the two were reversed, the Ming Dynasty would probably not let anyone who had a little relationship with Fang Nan survive.

In Fang Nan's arms, Zhu Yaojiang kept crying, crying tired and fell asleep. This time, Zhu Yaojiang slept very peacefully.

In the capital, I knew that the People's Army was getting closer and closer to this place, and no one could resist the People's Army going north. The important officials of the Ming Dynasty were panicked and didn't know what to do. The People's Army was about to fight. Should they be destroyed with the Ming Dynasty or surrender to the People's Army.

There were some important officials in the Ming court who wanted to surrender to the People's Army, but few of them. They lived for so many years and did not want to bear the reputation of infidelity in the few days left.

A minister submitted a petition to Zhu Yijun to move the capital to Liaodong, but Zhu Yijun did not respond. What is the use of moving the capital to Liaodong at this point? It's just the difference between dying early and late. He was driven to Liaodong by the People's Army like a stray dog. When the People's Army attacked Liaodong, they would eventually die.

What's more, the current situation in Liaodong is also very bad. Japan has occupied almost all of Goryeo. The King of Goryeo fled to Liaodong with thousands of people. The Jurchens and Tatars were all eyeing each other.

If the capital is moved to Liaodong, it will be a real enemy.

Zhu Yijun would rather the Ming Dynasty be destroyed by the People's Army than by the aliens.

Let’s fight, Zhu Yijun has issued orders to all the forces in the north to gather in the capital. Zhu Yijun wants to gather all those loyal to the Ming Dynasty to fight the People’s Army in the last battle here. If he wins, the Ming Dynasty will continue to struggle to survive and lose. From now on, the Ming Dynasty will disappear.

Zhu Yijun didn't know how many soldiers would gather here, and it didn't matter anymore. After being the emperor for twenty years, he was tired and exhausted both physically and mentally. It would be better if the battle ended like this. There is no immortal dynasty in the world, and the Ming Dynasty will not last forever. If it perishes, it will perish. He can finally have a good rest.

In Shandong, the ten vanguard troops led by Wang Shengrong himself were constantly moving northward. Wang Shengrong's goal was to cross the Yellow River and attack the capital. Behind Wang Shengrong's vanguard troops, more people's troops crossed the Yellow River, spreading northward, eastward, and westward, occupying all visible land.

The People's Army crosses the Yangtze River and is about to arrive on the south bank of the Yellow River. The People's Army will face two major problems, crossing the Yellow River and the cold weather.

The Yangtze River is a natural danger, and the Yellow River is also a natural danger. The People's Army needs a large number of ships to cross the Yellow River. The ships can probably be found. The key is that the Yellow River will freeze in November, and if you want to pass through the Yellow River, it may only be able to walk from the ice surface. Moreover, the ice surface of the Yellow River is not thick in the early stage and it is difficult to bear the weight of people. Not to mention that the army passes through, it has to wait until December when the weather is colder.

Cold weather is also a big problem for the People's Army. The soldiers of the People's Army are mainly southerners. Even if they prepare cold protection materials in advance and conduct some cold resistance training, they have never really been exposed to the cold in the north. I am afraid that many soldiers will fall ill in the cold weather.

Difficulties are overcome. With the help of the landlord armed forces of the surrendered People's Army and the Ming Army (Navy Division) forces, when October was about to end, the vanguard army led by Wang Shengrong successfully crossed the Yellow River. Before the Yellow River freezes, more than twenty divisions crossed the Yellow River. At this time, the vanguard army led by Wang Shengrong is getting closer and closer to Shuntian Prefecture, where the capital is located.

A MIIS agent has contacted the vanguard army to report to Wang Shengrong that the Ming army gathered in the capital. It is expected that the total strength of the Ming army will be more than 300,000, of which the guard team formed by the landlords is about 100,000. Among the other 200,000, at least 150,000 are elite.

With 300,000 enemies in front, the ten division vanguard troops led by Wang Shengrong were temporarily suspended and waiting for the follow-up troops to follow. Ten divisions of 80,000 can defeat the 300,000 Ming army, but if you want to better control the situation, it is better to assemble more troops.

While the vanguard army led by Wang Shengrong was waiting, the people's army of other routes were progressing smoothly. The People's Navy had successfully cleared all the Ming army naval divisions in the Yangtze River. Most of the areas south of the Yellow River north of the Yangtze River were also occupied by the People's Army. With the cooperation of the army and officials, the newly occupied area quickly restored stability.

What really makes the people feel at ease is that the People's Army distributes land to them. Adults have four acres and two acres of children. I don't know how many people have never owned their own land for half of their lives. When the People's Army comes, they distributed land for free. They used to think that the People's Army is a demon that devours people, but they didn't expect that the People's Army is the greatest good man in the world.

Although the people who just obtained the land did not quickly support the People's Army, they also recognized the rule of the People's Army. As time goes by, the People's Army does not need to do other things. As long as the land is in the hands of the people for a longer time, the people can support the People's Army wholeheartedly.

It was snowing. This was the first snow that the People's Army encountered when they rushed to the north. The snow was not heavy. The temperature dropped sharply after the snow, which directly caused some People's Army soldiers to fall ill. The people's army soldiers who fell ill were placed on the spot and returned to the army after they recovered.

The disease is not terrible. The soldiers of the People's Army are relatively healthy and will recover soon. However, they cannot participate in the subsequent war. This is the final battle between the People's Army and the Ming court. They have all crossed the Yellow River and their comrades can continue to participate in the battle, but they are defeated by the cold. They are really unwilling to accept that. They really want to rush into the capital with their comrades as soon as possible.

Fortunately, it is not the coldest time of the year, and fortunately, the capital is not located further north, so the People's Army can bear it.

In the cold weather, the final battle has arrived!
