The news that the barbarian commander Kuha had been slain and his ten-thousand-strong unit shattered reached the Governor’s Mansion within a single day. Niu Ben had specially ordered the relay to deliver the news overnight to Qingzhou. “Excellent! Niu Ben executed a flawless field annihilation outside Yunzhou.

This was the second wave of the three-stage volley fire. After firing the first volley, the frontline musket troops didn’t fall back to the third row to reload. Instead, they withdrew into the wagon formation through the chains between the Hussite war wagons. Each Hussite war wagon had a soldier assigned specifically to open and close the chain gates. As the…

Kuha’s eyes were bloodshot, his ears filled with the screams of his dying men. He had lost. Utterly and completely defeated. At this moment, he finally understood the hopelessness the soldiers of Great Yu must have felt when they were surrounded by his own forces. Yet beyond fear, what overwhelmed him was shock—shock at those fire-spewing, smoke-belching weapons, at those strange wagons. Why had their unstoppable charge, their hallmark of invincibility, been torn apart like paper before the Qingzhou…

Niu Ben stood calmly, waiting for Kuha to arrive. Upon learning that the barbarians were approaching Yunzhou, he had immediately ordered the evacuation of all civilians outside the city. Some fled to the mountains, some took refuge within the city, while others hid in fortified strongholds. They were to leave nothing edible behind in their homes. After issuing that command, Niu Ben gained a deep appreciation for the role of the militia and production brigades among the people. These two institutions…

July 25th. After six days of forced marching, Niu Ben led the 30,000-strong Qingzhou army into Yunzhou. At the same time, he received grave news—Chagatai's sixty-thousand-strong Mongol cavalry was fast approaching Jizhou. What was worse, a detachment of ten thousand riders had split from the main force and was circumventing Jizhou, heading directly toward Yunzhou. Within the military command tent, Niu Ben unrolled the map Prince Qi had provided and began to analyze the situation. Surrounding him were…

“Commoners can get a noble title?” In Zhu Family Village, Zhu Wuliu looked up and asked the reporter who had come to read the daily news. “Yes,” the man replied with excitement. “The newspaper clearly says that as long as someone makes a major contribution to Qingzhou, they can receive a noble title. And along with the title comes heritable land. Even the lowest-ranked baron gets 300 mu of land that can’t be reclaimed by the government. That land will be theirs, passed down through…

Qingzhou Secret Intelligence Bureau. As soon as news arrived from Yongzhou, Wang Xuan rushed to the Prince’s Manor. While Prince Qi had been busy reforming Qingzhou these past couple of months, the situation in Yongzhou had taken a dramatic turn for the worse. The number of people rallying under the so-called “Azure Dragon King” had grown rapidly, and Prince Yong’s forces were losing ground fast. But that wasn’t the biggest concern. Worse yet, the Mongol general Chagatai had led sixty…

Outside the Prince of Qi’s manor, Cao Zhengyang stared at the golden characters on the signboard, slightly dazed. Now that Yue Yun and the others had returned to Qingzhou, the Cao family had fulfilled their part of the bargain. Cao Zhengyang had come again to discuss opening the Cao family bank in the prince’s territory. He also brought with him two million stones of grain from Prince Chu, sold directly to Prince Qi. These were tangible profits—the Cao family’s way of showing sincerity. After…

"Your Highness, I’ve assigned a team to each war chariot," Niu Ben reported, pointing to the soldiers standing around one of the Hussite chariots. These soldiers were specially selected to accompany the chariots. While cavalry couldn’t do much against the chariots directly, most armies would send heavy infantry ahead of a cavalry charge to destroy the vehicles. That’s why each war chariot needed its own protection unit. "Let me hear the details," Xiao Ming said. He was currently focusing on…
