In February of the third year of Xiangxing, there were monks who killed the thief chief Li Heng in the Tao. More than 10,000 thieves pursued him, but he was surrounded and killed in battle, and his 83 guests were not in the military formation.
The news was quickly sent to Dadu, and Jin Zhen, the prince of the prison state, was shocked, and while sending an envoy to quickly report the matter to Kublai Khan, who was pro-conquering Liaodong, he convened the ministers who stayed in Dadu overnight to discuss sending someone to replace Li Heng and clean up the mess between Liangguang and Guangzhou. To Jin Zhen's surprise, the ministers of the Meng, Semu, and Han dynasties, who had been arguing endlessly over an official position, suddenly gave in and argued for a long time, but no one was willing to take the position of the deputy marshal of the Ping and Song Dynasty.
Jin Zhen had no choice but to order Lu Shikui, the governor of Liangjiang, who he was not optimistic about, to take charge of the soldiers and horses left by Li Heng. After the decree was delivered to Guangnan East Road, all the generals were not convinced, and some local heroes who had been vacillating between the Song and Yuan dynasties quietly led their troops back to their hometowns, and in the name of maintaining local law and order, they waited and watched the further development of the situation in Guangxi and Guangzhou. Some of the former Song officers and soldiers who were wrapped into the Yuan army by Zhai's uncle and nephew association also left in batches with weapons, and in less than half a month, most of Li Heng's troops and horses were scattered, leaving only an empty shelf for the successor.
In Confucianism, there are different evaluations of Wuguo and others. Some people chanted poems and praised these more than 80 people, and some people jumped up to reprimand them for their reckless behavior, and they did not dare to fight Li Heng in front of the two armies, but instead used such obscene methods to insult the reputation of the state of etiquette in the Great Song Dynasty. Until Wen Tianxiang personally wrote an article to pay tribute to the fruitless, and ended with "The thief has not left the Song Realm, and all the means of the rebels are justice!" As the end of the whole text, the controversy in Confucianism slowly subsided.
Some civil forces dissatisfied with the Yuan Court were encouraged and took advantage of the situation. For a time, Liangjiang, Liangzhejiang, Jinghu, and Liangguang were full of rebels under the banner of the Great Song Dynasty or the Broken Army, and even all parts of Zhongshu Province, which had ruled for many years and had the most stable public order, were also affected. Jin Zhen, the prince of the prison state, was so busy that he had no choice but to disperse the more than 80,000 Mongolian troops who had originally gathered in Jiankang and were ready to go south to accept Dachun's dispatch to fight the fire. As a result, the attack on Fujian by the Dachun Division, which had no friendly support and no reinforcements, became more and more weak, and slowly, even the harassing army was sent less.
The shock brought by the assassination was not only that, since the fruitless battle and death, many heroes of the rivers and lakes did not dare to call themselves a "chivalrous" word anymore, some drunk and went to the street to fight, relying on a ruthless rampant rampant hooligans in the township, let alone dare to boast of themselves as Jianghu people. In the eyes of the world, the so-called chivalrous man is no longer a simple "ban by force", nor is it a symbol of courage and strength, but represents the resistance and unyielding of Jing Ke and others in the face of tyranny, and represents the responsibility of a puppet to the country. More than 780 years later, there are stories such as Wuguo and others that have been reinterpreted for commentators, and the image of chivalry is summarized in one sentence, and everyone who hears it praises it.
That sentence is: "For the country and the people, the great man of chivalry!" These are all afterwords, and they are not mentioned in the book for the time being.
Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Wen Tianxiang gently put down the information in his hand. According to the analysis of the intelligence sent back from various places, the assassination against Li Heng has dealt a serious blow to the rule of the Northern Yuan in Jiangnan. Some local high-ranking officials did not even dare to go out easily, and the city was locked down at the slightest disturbance to search for suspected assassins. The corrupt officials who hurt the people the most, especially the transit envoys sent to the local areas by the Northern Yuan, and the warehouse envoys were even more panicked. The small officials under his command did not even dare to collect taxes in the villages ten miles away from the city.
However, Wen Tianxiang vetoed the action jointly proposed by Liu Zijun, Shi Shi, Chen Zijing and others to purge the high-ranking officials of the provinces under the rule of the Northern Yuan Dynasty one by one. The spontaneous enthusiasm of the people needed to be encouraged, but the cost of the assassination was too high, so Wen Tianxiang had to think carefully. After Li Heng was assassinated, the Northern Yuan Dynasty immediately carried out a frantic counterattack of "Rather kill wrongly, it is better to let go", and almost uprooted the details of the enemy's intelligence division lurking in Liangguang. Therefore, it is better to be cautious about the long-term impact of this kind of approach, but the actual effect is not obvious. If you kill a local official, the Northern Yuan will appoint another one. As long as the Mongols still occupy the initiative on the battlefield, there are elites in the world who cannot withstand the temptation of high-ranking officials. Compared with these so-called elites, the obscure details of the Enemy Intelligence Division lurking in various places are obviously more important. Fighting hard in the way of exchanging one life for one life is not cost-effective for the Broken Army, and the Broken Army cannot afford to fight.
He needed more effective methods, such as using partial victories on the battlefield to undermine the confidence of the wait-and-see and blind followers in the Northern Yuan. At present, as the soldiers who were wounded in the Battle of Yong'an are returning one after another, the strong men recruited from the displaced people are slowly adapting to the army, and the Broken Army has begun to slowly recover. It is a good time to strike again, pick weak opponents to train, and expand the territory. The chaos in Liangguang just provided a good opportunity for the Metropolitan Governor's Office to fill the void left by the Northern Yuan Dynasty's strategic center of gravity.
While competing head-on on the battlefield, there are other efficient and easy-to-use tactics that can be employed. The Northern Yuan soldiers have a wide range of generals, but in terms of understanding of the war, they are more than one level behind Wen Zhong.
In March, under the dim starlight, more than 20 sailing ships in two columns quietly approached and glided across the water, ghostly, towards the sleeping port of Guangzhou.
In order to prevent the sneak attack of the naval division of the captured army, Li Heng, the former deputy marshal of the Ping Song Dynasty, tried his best. A huge water village was built outside the harbor with small boats and giant trees like a barracks on land, and more than 100 beacon towers were built on the reefs of the islands outside the harbor. On the beacon tower, there are people watching day and night. Once there is a police in the open sea, within a moment, all the Yuan troops stationed in Guangzhou will pour out.
But today, several beacon towers on the periphery entered a state of sleep at the same time. Until the sailboat came to his feet, he didn't make the slightest reaction.
"Quack, quack, quack!" On the sailboat, sailors imitate frightened seabirds and make a series of calls.
"Goo, goo!" On the beacon tower, there were wild pigeons whispering to each other. As the pigeons and seabirds sang and harmonized, the group slowly walked to the shore, pulled out a small Wuyan boat from behind the reef, and gently swung towards the cloud sail in the darkness.
"Brother Miao, is it going well!" Without waiting for the boat to approach, the captain of the fleet, Du Hu, rushed to the side of the ship and asked in a low voice.
"Smoothly, the brothers who guard the beacon fire on the seven islands of Xiushan are willing to follow us, I will send someone to take them in a while, you take them next with a big boat first, don't let them fall into the hands of Lu Shikui." On the other side of the Inland Sea, there are people on several reefs near Panyu who refuse to cooperate, and have been sunk to the bottom of the sea by our brothers to feed the Dragon King. From here to Shuizhai all the way unimpeded, what to do next, it's up to you, brother! As he spoke, Miao Chun's silhouette revealed in the darkness. He was followed by more than a dozen brothers from the teaching brigade, as well as a dozen new army guards wearing the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
"In Xia Li Wangshan, welcome the army of the Celestial Empire, our Guangzhou sailors look forward to the stars, look forward to the moon-like ......" A black shadow flashed out from behind Miao Chun, arched his hand at Du Hu, and said curtly.
"Hurry up and get on the boat, don't be a mother-in-law, let's break the army and don't want to do this!" Du Hu frowned and said with some disgust. The person in front of him was obviously a low-ranking officer, and he opened his mouth to greet him.
"Yes, yes, I respect the general's orders. But, but General Miao promised us to wait......" The black shadow bowed again, his tone was humble, and the topic was impatient.
"I will not go back on what I promised you. Those who are willing to stay can join the Broken Army. If you don't want to stay, the settling-in fee is on the ship, twenty taels per person, in cash. When you get to the open sea, you can decide where to go ashore, and a nearby fisherman will pick you up by boat! Du Hu's nose was almost disgusted, and he replied in disgust. There is a way to bring what kind of soldiers is an official, Lu Shikui is greedy, and the soldiers under him are also all the way. In addition to money, there is nothing else in the eyes.
The dark shadow had an answer to his fears, and without further fuss, he climbed along the cable and climbed to the last big ship. The new annex soldiers who followed him climbed up the cable one after another, and although their movements were neglected in training, their bodies remained agile.
Miao Chun nodded at Du Hu, hung up the sails with his subordinates, and quickly drifted towards the inland sea. Several large ships followed him, slowly approaching the city of Guangzhou. The beacon towers along the way soon changed hands, and more and more new soldiers entered the prepared transport cabins.
The outline of the Guangzhou Navy Battalion slowly appeared in Du Hu's telescope.
The tallow torch burned violently around the water village, but there were no soldiers patrolling the walls. At the entrance of the water village, even the open-top express ship that patrols daily did not start. A few cowhide rafts sat lazily, and by the bright light they could be seen hanging by the mainmast of colourful clothes, several of which were brightly coloured, apparently for women
Miao Chun commanded several Wuyan boats with modified spinnakers, quietly emerging from the darkness. The ships were fully loaded, and the draft was very deep, but the speed of propulsion was not slow at all, and the sails were full of sails by the wind, and they shot like arrows towards the water gate.
A soldier who was on duty tonight straightened up from his ship and walked to the side of the ship to relieve himself, when suddenly he heard a different sound of water. I thought it was someone who went out to play and didn't come home until midnight. Raising his head, he muttered and scolded: "General Liu said that Marshal Lu is going to reorganize the army, and you lawless monkey cubs will not ...... again."
The second half of his words were completely stuck in his throat, and the dhows in front of him he had never seen were not at all the 500 small boats that the soldiers and soldiers in the battalion often lent out to fool around and sell some smuggled goods. It is an improved Uyan ship that is more than three times faster than the normal speed Uyan ship. In an instant, he understood who was coming, and reached for the trumpet, only to find that his hand was no longer listening. A crossbow bolt flew and slashed his throat.
"Plop!" Soldiers on night patrol fall overboard. A few soldiers who were dozing off the walled shrugged their shoulders and continued their dreams. Under the lights, the boat piloted by Miao Chun and the others became faster and faster. Suddenly, with Miao Chun's whistle, all the sailors and soldiers abandoned the ship and flew into the sea.
"Raid the camp!" Someone finally saw the danger at hand, and tore his throat and screamed. Before his voice could fall, several small boats crashed into the wooden wall at the same time, and the three-foot-long iron nail in the bow of the ship nailed the hull and the wooden wall together.
A bright spark, under the gaze of the defenders, burrowed into the cabin, and then, several thunderbolts sounded in the night, and the solid outer wall of the water wall and the defenders on the wall flew into the air.
Du Hu rushed out of the night with twelve warships, and was blown open by the explosion of the gate of the water village. Most of the soldiers on the patrol ships around met Hades in their sleep, and some of the survivors woke up from the nightmare without knowing how to react. In an instant, the officers could not find the soldiers, and the soldiers could not find the officers, and they were scurrying on the deck.
Several more large sailing ships rushed to the side of the ship next to the water wall. Standing on the deck of the galleon, the Breakers taught the brethren of the brigade to bend their bows and unceremoniously rain rockets and fire-starters onto the ships.
The soldiers who were awakened were even more confused, some of them jumped into the sea in a panic to escape, some knelt in the corner of the deck and began to chant Buddha, and even worse, simply raised their hands high above their heads. Listen to the soldiers under the command of Marshal Lu who were captured and released by the Broken Army, if they are cornered by the Broken Army on the battlefield, throw away their weapons and raise their hands in exchange for the mercy of the other party. This kind of life-saving experience has always spread quickly in the barracks.
A centurion with crooked armor raised his knife and slashed several of those who had surrendered with their hands raised. Fang wanted to order the soldiers to take their positions and start the ship, but it was cold, and someone jumped onto the deck from the sea.
"Give me ......," the centurion shouted wildly, trying to command his soldiers to take down the brave man, but before he could finish shouting, he found his head flying out of his body.
A steel knife swept across his neck, and the owner of the knife was dressed in water, and his eyes were full of contempt.
The Teaching Brigade of the Broken Army was divided into groups of thirty people, and used various methods to clean up the Northern Yuan soldiers who had just woken up from a big dream. One side was already demoralized and poorly trained, while the other side was the elite of the elite, and after half an hour, the mobile boats on the outskirts of the water village had lost their resistance.
The water village that Li Heng painstakingly managed was full of fires, and the warships of the Broken Army were galloping back and forth in the village. In order to prevent someone from stealing the ship and slipping away, every evening, the generals of the naval division locked the battleships together with iron chains as usual. This wrong approach has become the fatal wound of the Guangzhou sailors at this moment.
At the beginning, Du Hu also commanded his fleet to keep a certain distance from the enemy ships and conduct a queue of artillery bombardment. When it was discovered that the enemy warships were actually connected to each other, and after a ship caught fire, the neighboring ships could not escape, and when the fleet was dispersed, he ordered his captains to fight separately and burn the enemy ships by all means.
In this way, the Guangzhou Navy Division Camp is more lively. There were explosions everywhere, fires everywhere, screams and shelling, as if some officials had accidentally scraped through the ground and suddenly moved hell to earth.
The Guangzhou Naval Division, which was seriously short of troops under Li Heng and even more short of major generals under Lu Shikui, came to an end in chaos. Most of the soldiers who slept on the ship died in the fire before they could wake up from their dreams. Their end was not the worst, the worst thing was that those soldiers who had woken up and watched the ship on fire but could not untie the chains, they could only watch the fire slowly extend to their side, burning the last deck where they fell.
Du Hu's flagship rushed to the densest place of the enemy ships, and the guns of the ships on both sides fired in turn, so close that there was almost no need to aim. With each shot, an enemy ship can be sent to the bottom of the sea.
Su Gang's ship followed behind Du Hu, and his father woke up and ordered him to go to the army to learn from the wise. Being able to follow a boss like Du Hu who never shows mercy to the enemy, Su Gang feels very enjoyable. Whenever an enemy general drove a burning battleship to try to get close to Du Hu, Su Gang grabbed it from the slanted cili. A battleship equipped with artillery is like playing against an opponent who is only equipped with trebuchets and bed crossbows and is obviously undertrained.
The battleship he abandoned burned, swirled, and sank into the depths of the sea.
The most ferocious is Miao Chun and his teaching brigade, in the rescue of the young emperor, the battleship that could not be taken away has become a lingering regret in everyone's hearts. Now that they have the opportunity to completely destroy these warships, how can the "ruthless corners" specially selected from the various armies show mercy to their subordinates, and blow them up with artillery and grenades for the big ships that are linked together. For the ships that broke away from the team and rushed up to fight with no strength, they jumped on the deck of the opponent and completely subdued the opponent with fierce hand-to-hand combat.
"Boom!" A projectile landed on the side of the ship and exploded, causing a huge wave of water that pushed the battleship to the ground. He looked up in the direction of the boulder, and saw several torches in the distance, gathered on the high ground near the port.
It was a long-barreled heavy artillery, and the Broken Capture Army had sent ten such high-powered guns cast together by several sections of cannon barrels thousands of miles away, trying to save the fate of the Xing Dynasty. Later, these cannons and most of the other styles of artillery were blown up by Miao Chun while rescuing the young emperor, and the remaining few were erected on the high ground near the water village like Li Heng's baby.
Du Hu shouted a few words and ordered the herald to hang a string of lanterns on the main mast. The three battleships of the Broken Army, which were fighting vigorously nearby, immediately gave up the slaughter of the Yuan army and moved closer.
The four battleships lined up in a line at the fastest speed, fought out of the water village, and took the torch gathering place on the shore as the center, and made a few circles lightly.
More than 100 meteors streaked across the sky and smashed on the high ground on the shore. The piles of torches suddenly dispersed, and the soldiers who came to operate the guns in the middle of the night fled down the mountain with their heads in their hands. The cannon, which missed any targets, was overturned and rolled down the mountain beam into the sea.
Du Hu turned around the detachment and circled around the water village, and as long as there was a gathering of lights on the shore, an artillery shot would smash it over.
The battle ended definitively before dawn.
The Guangzhou sailors were completely turned into a pile of ashes. Of the twenty-four ships of the Naval Division and the Teaching Brigade at the time of the attack, five were lightly wounded and one was seriously wounded. When retreating, eleven large and medium-sized enemy ships were captured, strung in a string, and dragged behind the fleet.
Li Wangshan, the centurion of the newly attached army who hid in the dark and witnessed the entire battle, looked at the flagship in the distance with admiration on his face, and asked Chen Fusong, the captain of the broken warship beside him: "General, where are we going, going back to Quanzhou?" ”
"Do you want to go to Quanzhou? Aren't you going home? Chen Fusong asked with interest. In tonight's battle, these new annex soldiers, who were in charge of guarding the open sea, but agreed to surrender with the Broken Army, played a crucial role. Without them, the sneak attack would not have gone so smoothly.
"I, I heard that Quanzhou is very prosperous. Follow, follow Wen Dashuai, that, that..."Li Wangshan scratched his scalp and said embarrassedly. He was entrusted by his subordinates to come and talk to Chen Fusong. After last night's on-site observation, everyone felt that joining the Broken Army Sailor might have a better future than going home to fish, and maybe with good luck, they could get a founding general to do it.
"The Naval Division of the Broken Army is very demanding and trains hard. And the military discipline was strict, and it was not allowed to rob the people, nor to carry women into the ship. If you violate military discipline, you usually throw it directly into the sea to feed the sharks......." Chen Fusong glanced at Li Wangshan, deliberately raised his face and said.
"We're dry, just let us continue to dry the water!" Li Wangshan was overjoyed and said loudly.
"Don't worry, if you want to join the sailor, you also have to go to the Fuzhou Sailor School for training, learn shooting, artillery, flag language and lantern language, and learn to read and write!" Chen Fusong shook his head and poured a scoop of cold water on the heads of the soldiers.
Several of the new commanders of the new annexes who were eager to try their heads were hung down. I am not afraid to learn to shoot and operate artillery, and if you become a soldier, of course, you must practice killing methods. But when it comes to reading and literacy, everyone wilts. People in their thirties, like dolls, carry schoolbags to school, and they are ashamed to death.
"How? Immediately to the open sea, the sea people's Wuyan ship is waiting outside the Lingding Ocean, where to go, you make your own decision! Chen Fusong said with a smile. At present, these righteous people in front of the new annex army are all veterans, and it is much easier to train them than to train new soldiers, and these people have more experience in naval warfare than ordinary soldiers, and it is indeed a loss to let them go.
"I'll do it!" Li Wangshan gritted his teeth and threw the package containing the reward silver at his feet.
"I'll do it too!" A lookout nicknamed Sea Harrier shouted, "I have sailed the sea for half my life, and I am not afraid of wind and waves, and I am afraid to recognize a few words from him!" ”
"I'll do it!" "I'll do it!" "Please take it in, General!" Someone takes the lead, and immediately someone follows. Most of the sailors who had the silver and were about to go home stayed behind and handed over the silver as a certificate of surrender.
"The money is yours, and you deserve it. Keep it, wait for the battle to be over, buy land and buy a house! Chen Fusong smiled and picked up the packages containing the silver one by one and stuffed them back into the hands of the contributors. Later, I will tell General Miao and ask him to send a big ship to Fuzhou along the way. There is a rich house there, and you may save up your money for interest. Then you can take my letter of recommendation to the sailor registration office to register, and half a year later, I will bring a big boat to pick you up! ”
"The general won't go back to Fujian?" A few soldiers asked in surprise as they clung to the silver they had almost lost on impulse.
"No return!" Chen Fusong replied kindly.
"So, where is the general?" Li Wangshan asked boldly, then patted his head embarrassedly, and added: "It's inconvenient for the general to say, the small ones shouldn't ask!" ”
"Go to Qiongzhou, we'll see you in half a year!" Chen Fusong smiled, dressed Li Wangshan for him, and then patted him on the shoulder.
"Qiongzhou?" Countless people asked in surprise, and in an instant, their mouths were wide open enough to stuff eggs. Qiongzhou is hundreds of miles away from Guangzhou, separated by the four prefectures of En, Gao, Hua and Lei, and they jumped over the sea to directly attack Qiongzhou, and they have never heard of this kind of warfare.
"This is the sailor, how far the ship can go, how big the sailor's attack range is!" Chen Fusong stood at the bow of the boat and replied proudly.
