Chapter 96 [The heart is in danger]
"...The Marquis of Xin'an County, General Yunhui, Commander of the Palace Front Commander Yu, Governor of Guangzhou, and Commander of the Dragon Que Army Zhao Mengbei was the vanguard and the official seal of the seal, to fight against injustice and to kill rebels, and to be the traitors in the world who are the traitors in the world... "
At the end of June, south of the South China Sea, the ends of the earth, the sky is clear and the waves are vast. In front of Xindi Port, three tall warships and two transport ships are sailing ready to set off.
Teams of soldiers wearing red military uniforms in the Song Dynasty, with Fan Yang hats on their heads, and servants driving mules and horses, and craftsmen carrying bags, boarded the ships under the command of the team officials and flag heads.
The coast was full of old and small camp soldiers and the people of Yacheng who were seeing off, including blonde hair and blue eyes and black and thin and short Chammen. Looking at the nearly half of the Great Song army in front of him, with swords and shields, and spears and axes, he always felt that something was missing when he praised him... Yes, there was a lack of bows, crossbows and arrows!
Without bows, crossbows, what kind of battle is this vanguard army fighting?
The people of Yacheng shook their heads secretly when they saw it. At this time, there were people who were active in telling each other that this was the Longque Army that attacked the military city at night and captured the Ma family’s father and son alive. Everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that it was so elite. Some people also thought that the bows, crossbows and arrows were all placed on the ship? It must be so. No matter how ordinary people who don’t understand the war, they know that the reason why arrows were first launched between the two armies in battle. The Longque Army is so elite and the vanguard army, are they afraid that long-range attack weapons on the ship will not accumulate like mountains?
Only the officials of the Song Dynasty who were informed knew that this army really had no bows and crossbows, and it was more of a suicide squad than a vanguard army.
The death squad leader... Uh, Zhao Lie, the highest commander of the Dragon Que Army, was promoted again. Well, as the first achievement in conquering Jiyang Military City, it is natural to be reasonable. The title has not changed. It is still a marquis of Xin'an County. The sanitation officer was promoted from the fourth-rank general Dingyuan to the third-rank general Yunhui, and the military position was promoted from the commander commander of the hall to the Du Yuhou of the hall. The position was promoted and the military rank changed. The only thing that remained unchanged was also a false position. The real useful one was the dispatch - the commander of the Dragon Que Army.
Theoretically, the commander of the Song Dynasty was equivalent to the commander of the front army, and could control several armies. Based on the calculation of 2,500 to 5,000 people per army, Zhao Lie could command tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of troops. However, the theory was only theory after all. The reality was that he only controlled one army and had only more than 200 combat soldiers under his command. Even if he did not enter the fire (man, doctor, craftsman) according to the Song army system, he had only more than 300 people, which was less than one battalion. The gap was so big that it was speechless.
This is not surprising. At the end of the dynasty, in the turmoil, the officials were so big that they were scary and the soldiers were pitiful, which was also normal.
This time, Zhao Lie took away most of his Longque Army generals, soldiers and all his belongings, and also asked to transfer the military weapon supervisor Guo Chenggui and hundreds of workers to accompany him, and five ships were filled with them.
At this moment, Zhao Lie led his subordinates to say goodbye to Yang Liangjie, his son, and his military officer and relatives who came to see him off, and the military officers representing Su Liuyi, his son and Ma Nanchun.
Ma Nanchun served as the judge of the Shijuya City Shipbuilding Department, and also served as the Sima of the Dragon Que Army. He communicated with the generals and ministers of the Chaozhou Dynasty with the important responsibilities. He must stay in Yacheng and cannot follow the army.
Su Liuyi repeatedly reminded Zhao Lie to act carefully and not to take risks easily. If the enemy has a gap, he can test the attack. If things are not harmonious, he must not show off. He just needs to collect the enemy's situation and send a letter ship to teleport back to the court. He also promised repeatedly that at least ten days, after the army was completed, he would go north and join forces to attack the Yuanli.
Zhao Lie has his own concern in his heart, but he just thanked him on the surface.
Yang Liangjie brought the Empress Dowager Dun's message: "Meng Bei will take cherishing his body as his first priority when he goes away. The successor of King Xiu is to be the king, and do not follow the affairs of Jiyang Military City again."
Zhao Lie thanked him to the distance to the grass palace in Yacheng.
Yang Liangjie held Zhao Lie's hand even more enthusiastic, and said a polite but enthusiastic farewell speech.
At the third hour of the Chen Dynasty, all the soldiers, supplies and animals were loaded, and the five ships sounded the horn of departure. Zhao Lie bowed his hand and said goodbye to everyone, leading his subordinates to finally board the warship.
Yang Liangjie stroked his beard and squinted his eyes, looked at Zhao Lie's figure as he was leaving, with an unpredictable smile on the corner of his mouth.
Yang Qizhi, the eldest son secretary, also laughed and said, "This Zhao Liya is really brave but not wise. Ah Weng made a small plan and sent him to Yacheng. When our army goes north to attack Ma Gui, if this battle is won, he will station him in peace and will not be able to return without any order. If he is defeated, the Dragon Que Army will lose its troops and lose its generals. Even if it returns, it will not be powerful. Ah Weng is really a clever plan, hehe."
The young son Yang Xingyong said, "If Zhao Liya arrives at Wan'an, but he does not move his troops and just waits for the joint troops, what should he do?"
Yang Liangjie said lightly: "You don't know Zhang Gongbi's temperament. You want to avoid war and do things in vain. Once you find out later... Haha, Zhang Gongbi and Jiang Daozhai have many conflicts, and the defeat in Yashan was caused by his failure to accept Jiang Daozhai's words. Now when he saw Jiang Shiyi, he was even more shameless and wanted to let him go. If he had seized the handle, how could he be careless? He used this reason to remove Zhao and Jiang from office and took his military talisman. What's the difference between the result and the defeat?"
Yang Xingyong strode his hands and praised: "Aweng is a good method. Zhao Liya is afraid that it will be difficult to return after boarding the ship this time."
When Yang Qizhi heard this, he seemed to think of something, looked around and whispered: "Aweng wants to use the horse to stroke the machine..."
Yang Liangjie shook his head: "No. Zhao Mengbei made many military achievements, and he relied on the help of Jiang's strongest people. This time, he was a vanguard and would suffer heavy damage against the Shangyuan soldiers. In this way, his momentum would be weakened and he would not be in a big way. Of course, if his fate is bad... hehe, that's not a big deal."
Yang Qizhi looked at Zhao Lie standing at the bow of the ship, smiling, bowing his hands from afar, sighed: "It's a pity that you can have today and Zhao Liya's achievements..." At this moment, Yang Qizhi thought of the same as Chen Yizhong's uncle and nephew - if Zhao Liya was just a young boy, things would be easier.
Yang Xingyong disagrees: "This is his Zhao family's country, and it is his duty to do his best. If you take credit for yourself, you will be more coveted by the great treasure..."
Yang Liangjie shook his sleeves: "He also wants to enter the Chugong Hall! Humph, when Su Fuhan returns to search for the royal family, Zhao Dan, see if he can still laugh?"
The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the throne of the dynasty has been in vain for nearly four months at this time, which is an incredible thing in any dynasty. If the boat that had not been shaking and overturned at any time before, it would have really not taken care of this, the generals and ministers of the Song Dynasty had already quarreled. Now that we have escaped the great disaster, and have firmly established our foothold, the matter of establishing a crown prince has become an urgent task.
No empress dowager or relative of the foreigner would establish a difficult crown prince. What kind of crown prince is best controlled? Of course, it is the son emperor! The Fujian-Guangzhou area was originally the base camp of the Nandu royal family, and the number of children of all ages should be as much as possible. However, the Zhao family made a fatal mistake and put all the eggs in one basket - almost all the clan members were concentrated in Quanzhou. Among the powerful figures guarding Quanzhou, another famous treacherous man who was famous in the late Song Dynasty - Pu Shougeng, a civilian in Quanzhou.
It was this villain who, with the heads of all the royal families in Quanzhou, submitted a letter of appeal to the Mongyuan. As a result, the branches of the Zhao Song kings who had originally lived in the south, all had their descendants. It is difficult to find a son of the appropriate age from this area than a giant panda. When Su Liuyi and Ma Nanbao reported that there was still a son of the royal family, Zhao Dan, met the conditions, immediately attracted high attention from the inside and outside courts. After the ministers discussed, they submitted a memorial to Empress Dowager Yang, asking the Empress Dowager to sue Su Liuyi and return to his hometown to recruit heroes, and then secretly took the son back for detailed investigation and then decided.
What else can Queen Mother Yang say about the country and the country's destiny? She can only cry and acquiesce.
After all, Zhao Lie has not completely dissolved into this era, and there is no string in his mind at all. If he knew that Yang Liangjie actually regarded him as a huge threat and cleared the obstacles for the crown prince who was about to ascend the throne, he would probably be stunned and could only say: "There is a sentence MMB, I don't know whether to say it or not."
When the five ships left the port with the farewell sounds of military and civilians along the coast, Zhao Lie turned around and led a group of dry generals to the bottom cabin, came to a pile of cargo covered with thick oil cloth, bent down and pinched the corner of the oil cloth, and lifted it hard - bundles of black and shiny flintlock guns that exuded the unique smell of grease and wood appeared in front of him.
Zhao Lie patted the grey on his hand and smiled and said, "Okay, the show is over. Now, distribute the weapons to all the soldiers."
Chapter completed!
