Chapter 288 Zhao Jiumei's Sorrow
Let the bloody battle outside the Great Wall continue like this...
However, it seems that Temujin's great-grandfather's rise seems to be inevitable. The Jurchens were not interested in expanding into the grasslands. After all, there was nothing valuable there, and they were fishing and hunting peoples, not nomadic peoples.
There is no match for their attributes.
The one who took Hebule into Hedong City was not the Jurchen army, but the Khitan army that Yelu Yuji.
This traitor did a very conscientious job.
However, it is mainly because Yelu Dashi has no time to control where, which is roughly equivalent to the modern Qiaobashan. It is not within the defense scope of Yelu Dashi, but it is just a small number of Khitan garrisons originally from the Ugu Nei Lie Army Command and the remnants of Yelu Yali. Yelu Dashi's real target is the Western Regions. He has been conducting reconnaissance on the map given to him by Wang Yue over the years, and then the more he investigates, the more he becomes, the more he is. It is like poisonous. After all, Ku Duncheng is really not a good place!
Who would still miss Ulaanbaatar if you could go to places like Hezhong and Tianshan, north and south?
It's minus forty degrees!
It just takes some time to investigate.
Including the 30,000 cavalry under his subordinates, they have begun to yearn for the Western Regions more. After all, everyone understands what the current situation of the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty is. Yelu Dashi and his elites are not really loyal to a puppet of Wang Yue. It would be great that they will be the masters of the Western Regions.
So they were not very interested in controlling the Mongolian Plateau.
Just waiting for an opportunity.
Once the opportunity comes, they will immediately fight to the Western Regions. Whoever likes to compete for poor and cold places like the Mongolian Plateau!
Therefore, Hebule had a great opportunity to unify the various ministries and realize the unification of the grasslands that his great-grandson achieved in advance. Unfortunately, what he had to face at that time was not a Jin Kingdom that was jointly transformed into waste by Confucianism and masters, but had completed all reforms, carrying muskets and cannons, which was the strongest Han army armed to their teeth. He was destined to not enjoy the glory of his great-grandson, but the ending of his countless descendants Lin Danbatull was waiting for him.
As for the next Wang Yue...
He still didn't attack Jinan, as if he had forgotten the golden sentence of his angrily storm for beauty.
Really, this sentence has been widely circulated in the Song Dynasty. King Chongguan of Zhongshan was furious for the beauty, and he attacked Jinan because he could not get Li Qingzhao.
It's even known to everyone.
From north to south, from west to east, this story was spread throughout the thousands of miles of the Song Dynasty. He had never even attacked Jinan, and had spread countless tragic battles in Jiangnan. In order to defend the old woman behind them, the military and civilians of Jinan fought bloody battles and defeated Wang Yue's attacks again and again. Countless warriors fought desperately with this domineering rebel minister in order to defend women and dignity. Their blood dyed Jinan red. Their great deeds were passed down forever, encouraging more warriors to devote themselves to the great cause of resisting Wang Yue.
Li Qingzhao was even more popular in folk legends as a beauty who surpassed the young Zhou Hou back then. Various legends about her beauty were circulated together with her lyrics.
Beauty is indeed made up of people.
But her lyrics are really not made up!
After reading her lyrics and listening to the legend of her beauty, it is not true or true.
In short, Li Qingzhao is now the most beautiful woman in the world and the most talented woman in the world. Her collection of poems has been hyped up to a book of money. The profiteers of Kaifeng Commune also specially equipped these collections with her covers, and there is even a hardcover version, with a portrait of her own. This kind of poems has even been hyped up to a book of five coins per book. What's even more outrageous is that there are shameless booksellers who specially hire people to draw some kind of picture album that is said to be...
Pictures and texts are all rich!
Some people also made up stories that she and the King of Zhongshan had known each other for a long time.
This is entirely possible. Her family is from Zhangqiu. The King of Zhongshan practiced Taoism in Mount Tai, only dozens of miles away. When Li Qingzhao was a girl, she accidentally met the King of Zhongshan. She just took a look in the crowd. From then on, the King of Zhongshan never forgot her appearance.
I just don’t know if Li Qingzhao has heard of these stories.
But Wang Yue really seemed to have forgotten his golden sentence. In the following time, he personally led the guard to ride moose around Hebei, personally guiding the grassroots construction, water conservancy facilities construction in various places, especially the spring sowing that is about to begin. At this time, his channel had been dug, and tens of thousands of immigrants had been fighting for a year. A channel connected the Hutuo River and the Nanyi River from Gaoyang, and then led to the old Yellow River road that was cut off by him. While this channel separated part of the river, it irrigated a large amount of fertile fields along the line.
Moreover, the wetlands along the Bian Wubo, Baiyangdian, Wen'anwa and other places have greatly shrunk.
After the water recedes, the wetlands will also become fertile fields. Those immigrants who were originally responsible for digging channels stayed there to reclaim land and farm. These Hebei people who have left Hebei for nearly two hundred years have returned to their hometown to live and work in peace and contentment.
There is a new channel next.
It is roughly the same direction, but this one is closer to the north. In short, Wang Yue will organize militias from all over the country to constantly dig channels on this vast plain. If such a plain is not used, it will be a waste of resources. He will constantly dig channels, open up land, and encourage children to have children, so that the population on this land can grow at the highest rate that this era can achieve.
When new crops are introduced, these populations will sweep over the surrounding land that was not suitable for farming like a torrent.
There are also coastal fisheries, aquatic processing industries, salt industries, and especially salt industries. Under his guidance, the original salt-frying industry began to reform to salt drying.
This one has it.
The earliest salt drying was created by the Northern Song Dynasty, but only Fujian has salt drying at present.
Other places are fried salt, but in fact, they use various methods to pick up the braised rice, mainly to soak the salt, and then use an iron plate to fry the salt.
This is conducive to government management.
However, because Wang Yue needs more cheap sea salt because he has a large amount of aquatic products, he simply introduces salt drying technology directly. His control area is originally Changlu Salt Field, so salt production is very important.
And just as Wang Yue was patrolling around, his war with the great painter finally officially started in an inconspicuous place.
Tang Island.
The Navy of the Southern Song Dynasty.
During this period, the great painter has not stopped increasing troops and transporting military supplies to Jingdong East Road. So far, he has transported 50,000 troops here, all under the banner of the rebel army. In addition, more than one million stones of grain and one million stagnant of copper coins here. At this time, Quan Bangyan and others could be said to have soldiers, money, food and food. Even officials and gentry from Jingdong Road, Jingjin and other places were quietly providing support to them, purchasing arms from commercial cities such as Kaifeng Commune and Daming Commune, and then transporting them to their hands.
It can be said that they are now the light of hope for the officials and gentry of the Song Dynasty.
Most of these are shipped by sea.
After all, Wang Yue's army was stuck in Changqing, Wuzhang River, Liangshanpo, and Jishui water transport lines, so they could only transport them to the south first and then head north.
Because it is necessary to cover up the news, even if the ships from Banqiao from the south do not enter Jiaozhou Bay. Even if everyone knows it well, it still needs to be kept confidential.
The great painter is still playing the role of a father who is kind and filial to his son.
Outside Jiaozhou Bay, it is naturally the most suitable place in Tang Island. There are mountains in the north, and there is a road along the coast to Banqiao. No one can get through the road. Then the naval warships transporting troops from the south are all moored in this bay. This place has become Zhao Gou's temporary residence. He will definitely not run to Jinan. He left a painful memory last time. If something happens, it will not be as simple as pain.
How great it is here!
Once Jinan is defeated, he will only be able to board the ship and run away.
And the greatest pleasure of King Kang who lives here is...
"ah!"
Accompanied by a hysterical scream, King Kang's door was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and then King Kang, who was disheveled, rushed out from the inside like crazy, and fell to the ground, howling while pounding the ground, pounding it heart-wrenchingly.
Behind him a little girl...
I can only say that it is a little girl, who looks only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she is also standing in front of the door in disheveled clothes and watching this scene blankly, and she really doesn't understand what he is doing.
"Wang Yue, I am irreconcilable with you, and even if you are a ghost, I will not let you go!"
King Kang howled.
Then he continued to pound the ground like crazy.
"Big, lord, or not?"
Wang Boyan asked carefully.
Zhao Gou suddenly raised his head and looked at him like a mad dog. Wang Boyan subconsciously took a step back.
"What do you think?"
Zhao Gou roared.
Well, this happens a lot these days.
After healed his injuries, King Kang was trying to regain his former glory. These days he kept asking Mizhou officials to search for all kinds of women for him, trying to wake them up his brother who was sleeping because of his injuries. Unfortunately, all failed without exception, because he knew that he liked young people, and the Mizhou magistrate sent him this little girl, but it was still useless.
His brother can never get up again!
Is there anything more sad as a man?
These are all Wang Yue, all those traitors, all these monsters are harmed!
King Kang looked up to the sky and felt sad...
Then he suddenly stopped and looked at the beacon fire on the opposite peninsula with a look of astonishment.
Wang Boyan also saw it.
"Enemy attack, hurry up and prepare for the battle!"
He turned his head and shouted.
But it was too late at this time.
Zhao Gou and Wang Boyan rushed out immediately saw countless sailboats breaking through the waves like wolves on the sea, rushing towards their warships that were still anchored at an extremely fast speed. These warships had just transported supplies from the south, but before they had time to return, they all fell sails and moored to rest. Many of the soldiers were even on the shore. The sudden attack made the entire Tangdao Bay anchorage in a doomsday chaos.
Chapter completed!
