Nanyu City was destroyed.

Twenty armed spider machines were wreaking havoc in the streets and alleys of the city.

Thousands of defenders were completely routed.

The defeated soldiers tried to escape, but the movements of the spider machine were very fast. Harvesting lives was like chopping vegetables.

Therefore, the defeated soldiers were lucky, and a few of them dropped their weapons and hid in civilian houses.

Anyone who wants to rob, regardless of whether they are wearing military uniforms or not, as long as they are holding a sword, will kill them all.

Of course, twenty spider machines only killed hundreds or thousands of people.

More defeated troops were five thousand Han soldiers led by Wei Qubing, who were responsible for hunting and arresting.

Soon, Wei Qubing, who was the first to enter the city, was surprised to see thousands of prisoners.

Nanyu City was captured so easily. This gave Wei Qubing a deeper understanding of the ruler of the country, and he was full of confidence in the permanent occupation of Nanyu City by the Han Dynasty.

On the streets of the city, there were countless Ming soldiers lying on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Wei Qubing asked the Han soldiers to direct the Ming soldiers to move the prisoners outside the city and bury them.

In the whole city, not a single Ming soldier dared to hold a weapon.

Thousands of Ming army defenders who had lost their fighting spirit were driven away by Han soldiers like lambs and imprisoned in a centralized manner.

Du Le then entered the city and entered the main Yamen of Nanyu City. He ordered Wei Qubing to take over Nanyu City and impose military control on the entire city.

Then, Du Le saw that the situation was decided and recalled the armed spider machines.

Du Le carefully inspected the external conditions of the twenty spider machines, and found that several of them had knife marks or dirt on their bodies, but no damage. Du Le was very satisfied with the results of the first battle of the armed spider machines.

Then, Du Le put the armed spider machines into space. When preparing to return to the earth, he asked the engineer robot to replenish ammunition for them and perform simple cleaning and repairs.

Officials from the Bureau of Statistics who came with the Han army took the initiative to post notices to calm the people shortly after the Han army entered Nanyu City. In the notices, they stated the reasons and plans for the Han army's invasion.

On the notice, the leader of the Han Dynasty announced: The reason why the Han Dynasty raised troops to invade and even occupied Nanyu City was to retaliate against the wrong decision of the Ming Emperor. The Ming army invaded Han territory and attacked the Han army without any reason under the order of the Ming Emperor.

, is a criminal act. The leader of the Han Kingdom has the right to retaliate.

Moreover, the leader of the Han Dynasty believed that the Ming Dynasty emperor had to compensate the Han Dynasty for its losses. If the Ming Dynasty emperor refused to give an "account", the Han Dynasty would occupy Nanyu City in Yunzhou for a long time. He regarded Nanyu City as the land for compensation and appeasement.

the people of Han.

What if the emperor of Ming Dynasty tried to continue to challenge the bottom line of Han Dynasty?

The Han army will not stop and attack the imperial city of Ming Dynasty.

From the map, Yunzhou is one of the thirty-six states of the Ming Dynasty. However, Yunzhou is a multi-ethnic area, and the degree of Ming Dynasty's rule here is not high to begin with.

Not only that, because there are many places with dangerous terrain. There are not many big cities in Yunzhou.

There is only one Nanyu City in the south of Yunzhou with a population of more than 100,000.

Therefore, when the Han Dynasty occupied Nanyu City in Yunzhou, it was equivalent to occupying half of Yunzhou.

Not only that, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to attack the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, it had to pass through Nanyu City or the Qi and Jin Dynasties in the north.

If Han has a stable rear, it can provide a steady stream of soldiers.

As long as the people of Qi and Jin are successfully conquered, Han will gain more soldiers.

From the analysis of the national strength of the two countries, the Ming Kingdom was ten times larger than the Han Kingdom, with a large population and a large army.

Why did the Han State dare to issue such a notice to anger the Ming State?

In fact, it was precisely because the Ming Kingdom was larger than the Han Kingdom that Du Le asked the Han government to issue such a notice just to anger the Ming Emperor.

As long as the Ming emperor was angered, he would send an army.

Du Le could wait for work, destroy the Ming army, and beat the Ming Dynasty until it had to surrender, thus permanently occupying Nanyu City in Yunzhou in name only.

The Ming Dynasty was too big, and the Han Dynasty would definitely not be able to effectively occupy the entire country with all its strength.

Du Le does not need a Ming Dynasty that is experiencing civil strife. What he needs is a Ming Dynasty that is stable and can provide supplies.

A two-pronged approach, in order to bring Nanyu City under the rule of the Han State, Du Le and Guanzheng also issued a special administrative order for the Han occupied areas. Let the various administrative departments and the army of the Han State rule the occupied areas according to this plan.

The main policy plans include the following:

First, suppression. Any individuals and forces that oppose the Han government will be suppressed. (No forces that resist the Han government are allowed to exist in the occupied areas.)

Second, win over. In Yunzhou, as long as Ming people are willing to surrender, after passing the assessment and training of the Bureau of Statistics, they can hold official positions and implement limited local autonomy.

Third, control. Strictly control the military. No individuals or forces in the occupied areas are allowed to be armed. (The occupied areas cannot have force that can be resisted. The people who manage the occupied areas are mainly the subjects of the Han State, and they are ordinary people. Du Le

He doesn’t want his people to get hurt or even lose their lives.)

Fourth, development. Call on and mobilize Han businessmen to bring funds to build workshops in the occupied areas, recruit workers, and prosper the local economy. (Let the people in the occupied areas truly experience the benefits of the Han government, benefit the people, and bribe them.

People's hearts.)

Fifth, household registration management. Establish household registration and issue temporary ID cards. (It is different from the Qi and Jin Dynasties. The Qi and Jin Dynasties were destroyed, so formal ID cards were directly issued.) Residents who have passed the review can officially become Han nationals and enjoy six

Over ten years old, national welfare policy. In addition, nationals in occupied areas enjoy the same national treatment. They can join the army and become citizens, or they can pass the exam and become civil servants.

Sixth, recruitment order. Provide remuneration and recruit miners. (Mainly to dig ore from the border mountains.)

Seventh, the order of atonement. Anyone who commits a crime must be forced to work for a certain period of time to atone for his crime. (The prisoners are legitimately turned into labor force.)

As soon as the Han Dynasty occupied Nanyu City, Du Lehe and Guanzheng formulated and promulgated these dozen or so decrees among the Han officials. These decrees became the central guidance for the administration of the areas occupied by the Han Dynasty in the future.

Du Le is very satisfied, because he has easily occupied a rich source of energy stones. Du Le will never give up this place. In the future, as long as he has the technology and industrial foundation, he can produce any high-quality mineral he wants.

Technology products.

On the afternoon of the next day, Du Le appointed the acting city guard of Nanyu City in Han Dynasty.

To the surprise of the people of Nanyu City, the acting city guard was Nangong Yan, the former city lord of Nanyu City.

There was chaos in Nanyu City yesterday. Nangong Yan discovered the secret of the spider machine and ordered the defenders to drop their weapons. This saved the lives of a large number of soldiers.

Nangong Yan hurried back to his mansion and ordered all the soldiers and servants to throw their weapons outside and guard the door tightly.

It wasn't until early the next morning that Han Guo posted a notice.

Nangong Yan took the initiative to take several of his subordinates to the Yamen to surrender.

Because Nangong Yan was the highest-ranking official in Nanyu City, the Han soldiers did not hesitate to report his surrender to Du Le.

Du Le saw that Nangong Yan was so aware of current affairs and that he was the highest-ranking official among the Ming Dynasty officials who surrendered. In order to appease the people as soon as possible, he called the people to the military city mine in the future.

Du Le decided to appoint Nangong Yan as the acting city guard of Nanyu City. As long as Nanyucheng passes the assessment and training of the Bureau of Statistics, he can continue to serve as the official city guard.

In fact, in addition to the parliamentary system, the Han Dynasty also implemented a system of separation of military and political affairs. Nangong Yan acted as the city guard, only in charge of civil affairs and appeasing the people.

The people of Nanyu City did not know this and believed that if the Han Dynasty appointed Nangong Yan as the city guard, they would not massacre the people.

Therefore, the public sentiment among the people in Nanyucheng and surrounding counties and villages quickly stabilized. They no longer held a hostile attitude toward the Han Dynasty's occupation of Nanyucheng.

Of course, in order to completely switch to the Han Dynasty, we need to see whether the Ming Emperor can regain Nanyu City.

Five thousand Han troops captured Nanyu City, the defenders collapsed, and the news that the city lord Nangong Yan defected to the enemy and rebelled quickly spread to several large cities in northern Yunzhou through the fleeing people. Officials then wrote a report and sent it to the Imperial City of the Ming Dynasty.

above the main hall.

The kings and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were shocked. They did not expect that the Han army was so powerful.

He hated Nangong Yan even more and declared Nangong Yan a traitor.

The monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were still immersed in the grief of tens of thousands of Ming troops being wiped out.

Hearing that Nanyu City had fallen, he became even more panicked.

However, after all, Nanyu City is far away from the imperial city, and the Ming Dynasty emperor has not yet experienced it personally. After the panic, it was time to discuss.

However, when the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was in the main hall and heard the contents of the announcement from the ministers to the Han Dynasty, the emperor became angry.

The Ming Dynasty always believed that it was the supreme kingdom, and no country had ever dared to be so provocative.

Out of anger, the Ming monarchs and ministers ignored reports about the giant spiders of the Han army.

Being so arrogant, the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty decided to give the Han Dynasty a severe lesson.

Even if the Han Dynasty cannot be destroyed, all the Han troops who invaded Yunzhou must be driven out of the Ming Dynasty.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty issued an order on the spot, appointing a hundred battle generals, dispatching 100,000 elite Ming troops, 200,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 200,000 civilians, known as the 500,000-strong army, to form the Southwest Army, which assembled in Yunzhou to destroy the Han army.

If possible, destroy the Han Kingdom at will.

On the northwest front of the Ming Dynasty, troops and generals were also mobilized, and 20,000 frontier troops were sent to form the West Route Army.

The two armies marched together.

The huge state machinery of the Ming Dynasty began to operate

The first step of Han's strategy was completed, and the second step began. A group of new soldiers in Han were trained, and 3,000 new soldiers were stationed in the valley military city to maintain order. Wei Qubing completely took over Nanyu City and the surrounding area, and in the stable area

Under the premise of providing labor force for military cities.

Wei Diandao, the manager of the Hanguo Mountain Villa Mine, was also transferred from the administration and was specifically responsible for the new mine in Military City.

Du Le saw that things were on track and that he was not needed for the time being. (It would take a month at the fastest before the Ming army could gather to attack.)
