Tiger Roar (3)

The next day, when Dong Dexin went to the palace to thank him, he did not receive the marquis's official robe, but wore a white robe.

After all, Kublai Khan's blood failed to renew Dong Wenshan's life, and on the night of taking Amur's prescription, Dong Wenshan, the left prime minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, died of illness. Before dying, he picked up a brush and used all his strength to offer Kublai Khan the last advice.

"The Han army goes north, and the Mongolian army goes south!" Kublai Khan held the note that Dong Wenshan wrote to him before he died, and tears blurred his eyes again.

He ordered someone to use an ivory box to pack this note written by Brother Dong with his life, and put it next to his imperial case, within reach. Although he could not understand this suggestion, with his consistent trust in Dong Wenshan, Kublai Khan decided to take out this note at a critical time and use it as a life-saving tip.

On the same day, Kublai Khan issued an edict ordering the states south of the Yangtze River to make every effort to ensure the supply of Zhang Hongfan's army without slackening.

The offensive of the Yuan army suddenly intensified, and the defense line of the Song army stood firm under the insistence of Zhang Shijie, the governor of the capital.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom, boom, boom!" The dull sound of cannons echoed through the valley. The Northern Yuan soldiers who rushed forward were knocked over by more than a dozen shells, and the rest let out a desperate cry and turned and fled down the hillside.

"It turns out that the power of artillery is so great, no wonder Wen Tianxiang is a scholar, and he can also decide Fujian in a war, and then fight and chaos in Zhejiang!" Su Liuyi wiped the rain from his face, ran into the temporary thatched hut of the Chinese army, and said with a smile.

Compared with the Jianghuai army's casualties of less than 2,000, the Yuan army on the opposite side can be described as suffering heavy losses. Every time the battlefield was cleaned, the Jianghuai army cut off hundreds of heads from the corpses to record the results of the battle, and after two months of fighting, not to mention in the Meiguan area, he also wiped out nearly 10,000 troops. In addition to Zhang Hongfan himself, the battle flags of the main generals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty army have appeared in front of the battle. Zhang Hongzheng, Zhang Qi, Li Heng, Arakhan, Ali Hague, no matter the Mongols or the Semu people, no one could take advantage of him at all.

"Okay, you General Su, you don't appreciate favors if you take advantage. Be careful that your words are heard by the quartermaster of the Broken Army, next time, I won't send you shells! In the thatched shed that was temporarily erected, Metropolitan Governor Zhang Shijie scolded with a smile. The successive victories made him feel very good, and he didn't want to worry too much about his subordinates, and the Su Liuyi in front of him was still his hardcore descendant.

"They dare, if we don't stand up to it here, why should he break the army in Liangzhe. It's good now, the heroes of the world, everyone knows that it was Prime Minister Wen's men and horses who recovered Lin'an. Our masters have withstood most of the main forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty here, but have become the foil of his Prime Minister's Mansion! Su Liuyi spat on the ground and said indignantly.

He has always looked down on Wen Tianxiang, even if the Jianghuai Army has now taken a large number of military funds and equipment from the Broken Army, he still can't change his prejudice against the Broken Army and the New Deal in Fujian.

"Ziyi, don't be so careful. Everyone is a minister in the same hall, and the captive army is fighting well, so the pressure on us here is lighter, isn't it?" Zhang Shijie smiled and lowered his voice to advise.

The misunderstanding between them and Wen Tianxiang can be traced back to the source, and it has to be said that after Wen Tianxiang escaped from the Yuan camp, he went through all the hardships to catch up with the day. At that time, the army of the Xing Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, but Prime Minister Chen Yizhong strongly advocated a counteroffensive, taking advantage of the suspension of the Northern Yuan offensive, to send troops out of Zhejiang and recover the old capital Lin'an and all parts of the south of the Yangtze River. Of course, this proposal was opposed by all the generals, and everyone believed that the most urgent task at the moment was to find a place to settle down, reorganize the troops and horses, and boost morale, and then talk about whether to fight or defend.

At this time, Wen Tianxiang rushed over. This scholar, who became famous in one fell swoop because of his initiative to envoy to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, tried his best to lead the battle, and proposed another route of march completely different from Prime Minister Chen Yizhong, from Fujian to Jiangnan West Road and Ganzhou. Then take down the whole of Jiangxi, take advantage of the mountainous geographical advantages of Jiangnan West Road, and use it as a place of partial peace for the Song Dynasty.

Anyone who has led troops to fight knows that the method proposed by Wen Tianxiang is as bad as the method proposed by Chen Yizhong. Although the Jiangnan West Road was mountainous, it was not conducive to the deployment of the Mongol cavalry. But this place is sandwiched between Jinghu Lake and Liangzhejiang, no matter how you look at it, it is like a knife inserted in the heart of the entire south of the Yangtze River. Any northern coach with a brain would not tolerate the long-term existence of this knife. Everyone can expect that once the troops are sent to Jiangxi, they will immediately suffer blows from all directions, and the whole army will be annihilated, which is a matter of an overnight matter.

As a result, Su Liuyi, Zhang Dingguo and some local generals hugged up and resisted Wen Tianxiang's proposal. At the same time, rumors about the Northern Yuan Dynasty will send an important person at the level of the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty to secretly recruit heroes from all walks of life are also widely circulated in the army. After several forces weighed and competed several times, Prime Minister Chen Yizhong chose to compromise with everyone and gave up his plan to go north to Zhejiang. and adopted the method of dividing the troops, set Wen Tianxiang in the air, gave him the title of the governor, and asked him to recruit strong men into Jiangxi.

Wen Tianxiang, who offered Qice, was not pleasing at both ends and became an outcast. He was angry and decided to organize his own army for the Northern Expedition. This is the beginning of the predecessor of the Broken Army, the Ministry of Culture and Justice.

Since then, Wen Tianxiang opened in Nanjianzhou, recruiting the world's heroes and kings. With his righteous act of sending envoys to the Northern Yuan Dynasty and reprimanding Boyan, and the reputation of the champion of the Great Song Dynasty, he quickly recruited tens of thousands of people's troops. Immediately, Wen Tianxiang swept through Nanjian, Tingzhou and Shaowu, recovered most of the cities in northern Fujian, and then led troops to sweep southern Jiangnan, and the troops came to the city of Ganzhou. Until the end, due to insufficient troops, he was defeated by Li Hengji's army and led the remnants to escape into Baizhang Ridge.

In that year, the Battle of Jiangnan West Road, which shook the entire Jiangnan, ended with the annihilation of Wen Tianxiang's entire army. During the whole process, Zhang Shijie, as the governor of the 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Xing Dynasty, did not send a single soldier to help.

"The same hall is a minister, hmph, in my opinion, his Wen Tianxiang's yellow robe has been cut, just waiting for someone to take the initiative to give him the opportunity to put it on!" Su Liuyi sneered, opened his mouth, and while scolding Wen Tianxiang, he also brought the Taizu of this dynasty with him.

The continuous rain made him feel upset. The news of the victory of the Broken Army came one after another from outside, which made him feel a little jealous. In his mind, Wen Tianxiang is just a nerd who can only talk big, and whether he uses troops or adapts to the enemy, he is far from the generals in the Jianghuai army. But this kind of person is lucky enough to be able to pick up the Book of Heaven and create so many divine weapons. It's just this kind of person, who obviously doesn't know how to fight, but even God helps him, vacates the entire Liangzhe, and trains his hands by his temperament.

"Ziyi, complaining too much to prevent bowel breaking. It's good to fight a war, what's the use of fighting so many false names. Besides, what we did back then was indeed too much! Zhang Shijie patted Su Liuyi's shoulder with his big hand and sighed comfortingly.

Deep down, Zhang Shijie also felt a little unbalanced about Wen Tianxiang's achievements. But unlike his generals, as a Grand Governor, he had to put state affairs first. In addition, from a strategic point of view, sending troops to two provinces when the Northern Yuan army was pressing the border is also a good move to solve the current dilemma.

"Back then, did he have half the ability he has now?" Su Liuyi argued unconvinced.

Du Hu, Zhang Tang, Lin Qi, and Li Xing, who was a prisoner of the new annexed army, but had a big role in the broken army, compared with Su Liuyi and others back then, which one is not a nobody? Du Hu is a secretary of agriculture, an out-and-out civilian. Zhang Tang is a big local family, except for the strength to plant crops, he has never even seen a military formation. Lin Qi is better, he is a jinshi who is both civil and military. But it's just a chick with a knife in his hand, marching, arranging formations, and looking for fighters, none of which can be mastered.

And now, they have created one miracle after another, writing their names into legends.

"All kinds of things in the past are yesterday's yellow flowers, let's not mention them. Let's take a long-term view and look to the future! Listening to his subordinates talk about the ability to use soldiers, Zhang Shijie said in a low voice. It seemed to be discussing with Su Liuyi, and it seemed to be talking to himself, "When the Northern Yuan soldiers and horses are repulsed, I will personally go to Fuzhou to discuss the whole army with Prime Minister Wen." The Broken Army, the Jianghuai Army, the Xing Song Army, and the local princes, such a division, in short, is not a way. If Prime Minister Wen can ignore his past suspicions, I don't care about learning from Chen Hangyan and handing over the Jianghuai Army to his command! ”

From Gannan, Shaowu, Quanzhou to Liangzhejiang, everyone has to admit that Wen Tianxiang's ability to use troops is improving, and every step of the entry is huge.

If Wen Tianxiang could show such a strong ability to use troops when they were together, Zhang Shijie may not be a stingy person, firmly grasping the military power and refusing to divide the troops with him.

At the foot of the hillside, the clamor of the Northern Yuan soldiers and horses rose again. Su Liuyi lifted the knife and diverted the topic under the pretext of an excuse, "Let's talk about the future in the future." The tartars are coming up again, and the last will take a look at me! After speaking, he lifted the knife and ran out of the straw shed without looking back.

This Su Liuyi! It's good to have anything, but it's a little narrow-minded. Zhang Shijie looked at the back of his confidant and loved the general, and couldn't help shaking his head. The idea of reorganizing the army has been in his heart for a long time. At first, because the war was busy, there was no place to stay, so it was never on the agenda. After Xingchao settled in Yashan, this proposal slowly began to be implemented under the impetus of him and Lu Xiufu. Although Da Song currently occupies a slight advantage in weapons, he can stabilize his position. But compared with the Northern Yuan, which has nine-tenths of the world, it is still very weak after all, and all its forces must be gathered in one place. At present, this kind of situation of each fighting its own and making multiple doors out of the house is unacceptable. Someone had to make a sacrifice and give up command of the army.

When the Jianghuai Jin under his command was the strongest, Zhang Shijie felt that he was the best person to lead all the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty. And now, the most powerful is obviously the broken army under Wen Tianxiang. At this time, when it comes to the merger, Jianghuai Army will definitely suffer some losses, but Zhang Shijie feels that it is not important. After merging his subordinates into the Broken Army, the army's supplies and ordnance will be more guaranteed, and with Lu Xiufu and other good friends mediating it, Wen Tianxiang cannot completely exclude the Jianghuai Department from the army in the future. Moreover, after joining forces, he, Lu Xiufu and others can also exert a certain influence and influence the direction of the Broken Army, so that this strong army will not become Wen Tianxiang's private army and become a threat to the Great Song Dynasty.

The key point is that after the merger of the two armies, those local heroes who still have private soldiers will no longer have any reason not to hand over military power. Their existence is a great hidden danger for the Great Song Dynasty. If they dare to get the former emperor into the water for personal gain, they will have the courage to harm the current emperor.

If the little emperor makes another mistake when the great cause of resisting the Yuan Dynasty is thriving, I am afraid that the blow to the Great Song Dynasty will be more serious than a defeat.

"Boom", "Boom", a few more shots rang out sporadically outside, and there was a cheer from the position, and it seemed that the Beiyuan soldiers had retreated again. Zhang Shijie's train of thought was interrupted by the sound of cannons, and he shook his head with a wry smile. He has fought a lifetime of war, but the more he looks at the war in front of him, the more confused he becomes. It stands to reason that the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty should not just use just a few tricks over and over again. Although the artillery sent by the captives was powerful, the loading and firing speed of the artillery in rainy days had seriously affected, and it was not possible to shoot and the shells could not explode from time to time. Zhang Hongfan can't see this kind of good opportunity, is he still waiting for the rainy season in Guangnan to pass?

The rainy season in the second year of Xiangxing came late and went slowly. Quang Nam was originally a hot and humid and rainy place, and after two months of intermittent rain, rivers of all sizes were filled with water. The plain and docile Xijiang roared, carrying the mud and sand washed down from the upstream, passing through the state, and rolling everything that dared to stand in its way into the waves.

In this kind of weather and water conditions, no matter how big the tide is, he doesn't have the courage to go to the river to cause trouble. All passenger boats and fish boats are lazily moored in the river fork where the current is stable. The boat bosses who begged for a living on the water retreated into the chicken feather tavern, borrowed two pennies and a big bowl of rice wine and the legends of the market such as whose lady raised the man and which celebrity brought a green turban to pass the boring and helpless time.

"Look, boat!" Someone suddenly pointed to the river and shouted.

"What nonsense, I want to go down the river and go crazy!" Everyone responded with laughter, turned their heads together, and saw a few flying boats flashing by on the white river.

"My God, in this kind of weather, there are also people who go down to the river, don't die!" After playing with the boat for half his life, the boat boss, who knew the depth of the water, shouted in surprise. At a quick glance, they saw clearly the shadow of the sail on the river, which was not an ordinary civilian boat, but a post boat on Guangnan West Road, the Great Song Dynasty to pick up officials. In plain life, these ships are the most delicate, and when there is a little wind and rain, they lie in the harbor and do not come out of the nest. This time, I don't know what kind of crazy thing I made.

"If you can make people die, there are naturally errands that are more valuable than life! Don't worry about him, I'll wait and be happy," someone said lazily after reselling a bowl of wine.

"Yes, take a break, take a break! The wind and rain outside the curtain are about our! Everyone laughed in response. Talking about the sky, talking about the earth, indulging in the sun and moon in the pot.
