Chapter 1 I
Robbery (1)
As the day dawned, the rain began to lighten. The forts on both sides of the cliff gate are illuminated by the skylight, and the green smoke mixed with the white mist evaporated by the embers lingers, as if countless souls are nostalgic for their hometown.
"His grandmother's!" Deputy Marshal Ali Hague cursed loudly, raised his legs, and kicked the spear half stuck in the muddy water off the cliff. A gust of wind blew, and the broken spear swirled and flew in mid-air, and the blood-soaked spear was scattered and a dazzling red lotus bloomed.
"Evil Gate! What a wicked door! Ali Hague was dissatisfied, looked at the trajectory of the broken spear falling into the waves, and muttered. The battle was fought too hard, and two of his commanders were killed, and thousands of soldiers were lost. This is still the result of the best cooperation of the Han army and the Tanma Red army. If the Mongol army fought alone with the Yashan defenders, Ali Hague did not dare to guarantee whether he would be able to take Yashan Island on schedule.
Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng smiled bitterly at each other, they didn't expect the Song army left behind in Yashan to be so strong. Unlike the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty who surrendered immediately when they saw that the situation was not good, the defenders on the island were simply exchanging their lives for their lives, even if they were unable to lift their swords, they had to jump into the sea with their opponents. The Yuan army caught few worthy prisoners on Yashan. Not far from where they were standing, Sun Heng, the partial general who had been left behind by Ling Zhen, plunged into the rolling waves when the task had been completed and the soldiers were dead and wounded.
"If all the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are like this......" Zhang Qi sighed and whispered as he walked around a corpse lying in the mud. On the armor that wrapped the corpse, there were more than a dozen wounds, large and small. But at the last moment of his life, the owner of the armor still did not put down the bladed knife in his hand.
Such a warrior, whether it is an opponent or a partner, deserves respect. Several young generals who followed Zhang Qi had the same thoughts, and one by one they cautiously walked around the corpse of the unknown Song general. No one thought to cut off the head of the deceased to take credit for himself.
"Don't talk nonsense, the destiny of heaven is in my Dayuan!" Zhang Hongzheng cautiously looked at Ali Hague, who was standing not far away, and whispered a lesson to his nephew Zhang Qi. "Find a few brothers, go down and count the warships that can be used in the harbor, and when we find out where King Wei is located, we will catch up immediately!"
In front of the Mongols, Zhang Hongzheng did not dare to express his admiration for the Song army. Although his back was still chilled by the green smoke on both sides of the cliff gate. At the critical moment, letting the ripe deer jump off the grill and slip away, the responsibility of several commanders and marshals is not small. If there are any inappropriate words caught at this juncture, they will be sent to Kublai Khan along with the results of the Battle of Yashan. Although the emperor trusts Zhang Hongfan, I am afraid that he will also give an explanation to the officials. Especially those Mongolian imperial histories, they are not happy to learn anything else, and they have learned the right and wrong of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty, but they have learned the ability to pick bones in eggs. One by one, with the connivance of the Mongolian aristocracy, there is already a faint momentum of being better than the blue.
"Where else can I go, I must have gone to Fujian to meet Wen Tianxiang. With such a big wave, Wen Tianxiang was really bold enough to think of the idea of saving people from the sea. Such an opponent is worth a while. Look at why Page Mishi and Sodu are planted under his hands! "Deputy Marshal Ali Hague is not as unbearable as Zhang Hongzheng thought, although he has not been very convinced of Zhang Hongfan's position as Marshal of the Capital. But from the perspective of a military general, in this battle, Zhang Hongfan's command did not make any mistakes. The reason for the mistake at the critical moment was because the opponent was too bold to send a ship to the rescue in such a treacherous sea situation. You must know that the 40,000 troops sent by the Great Khan a few years ago were submerged in this kind of storm. So far, when the soldiers mention the voyage, they still have lingering palpitations.
"Yes, Wen Tianxiang is brave enough, I didn't expect it. Haimin said that at this moment, the sail is raised, and the ship is out of the ocean, and it will be subverted immediately. Who would have thought that his army would be able to build a big ship that is not afraid of wind and waves! Arhan whispered to Ali Hague's statement and found everyone under the stairs.
did not destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and this war plan has completely failed. After the news of the escape of the puppet emperor of the Great Song Dynasty spread, the Xing Song army and the broken army that rushed to support would definitely retreat back to Fujian, and the "pockets" of the big people on the periphery of Guangzhou completely lost their effect. After Zhang Shijie's remnants learned that King Wei was safe, they would definitely find a way to break through. What needs to be done now is not to investigate who should be held responsible for the escape of the remnant Song Dynasty, but to adjust the strategic deployment as soon as possible and prepare for the invasion of Fujian. After more than half a year of cultivation, all parts of Fujian have slowly recovered their vitality. The next battle may be another protracted war of attrition.
Thinking of this, Ah Rahan looked up at the coach Zhang Hongfan, but found that he had been staring blankly at the sea in the distance, as if his soul had merged into the heavens and the earth, and he was unaware of the hustle and bustle outside his body.
"Marshal of the Vice-Capital!" Ah Rahan gently poked Ali Hague with his fingers, and the corners of his mouth gently gestured in the direction of Zhang Hongfan.
"Marshal Du, Marshal Du..."Ali Hague called softly, not knowing what Zhang Hongfan was thinking in his heart at the moment. Although this marshal is a fourth-class Han Chinese, he must not be underestimated. Regardless of his family background and his own degree of favor, he is no worse than the Mongolian magnates. If he pushes the responsibility for the escape of the remnant Song Xingchao to the outside, among the several deputy marshals, there will definitely be people who will be unlucky.
Hearing Ali Hague's call, Zhang Hongfan withdrew his gaze from afar, smiled and said: "In a while, Ben Shuai will personally go to Ben to ask for guilt and bear the responsibility for this failure." Several deputy marshals temporarily withdrew their troops and horses to Guangzhou for repair, in preparation for another battle! ”
"This is the thief who is too bold, not the fault of the marshal! The last general can go to the book at the same time and explain today's situation to the Great Khan" Seeing that Zhang Hongfan seemed to have a misunderstanding of his meaning, Ali Hague hurriedly explained.
"Where did the Nine Pulls come from, and the last general is willing to explain this matter together!" Deputy Marshal Ah Rahan also followed to exonerate Zhang Hongfan. Since the marshal has already said that he will take all the responsibilities and go with the water, he does not want to miss it.
"It's because Ben Shuai is too light on the enemy, he just wants to attack all in one battle, and underestimates the heroes of the world!" Zhang Hongfan shook his head and said with a sigh. He wasn't worried about how to explain it to Kublai Khan, but he was just thinking about the reason for the command error. Thinking carefully about every move Wen Tianxiang has made recently, Zhang Hongfan was shocked to find that Wen Tianxiang was actually imitating himself, imitating every step of his surprise army into Guangdong.
He deliberately hid Li Heng's banner, but let Li Heng spend time outside Xinfeng City. Taking advantage of the fact that Jiangnan West Road is far away from Fuzhou, it takes time for news to be transmitted back and forth. Wen Tianxiang found that Li Heng was not in the army, and the attention of the scouts and meticulous workers under his command would naturally be attracted by this matter. When Wen Tianxiang understood that Zhang Hongfan was using the timing of the suspicious soldiers, the soldiers and horses of the Great Yuan had already arrived outside Guangzhou, and it was too late to make remedial measures to turn the tide. In less than a month, Wen Tianxiang returned the Yuan army's strategy. The Broken Army retreated from Liangzhejiang with great fanfare, and the sailors shouted that they wanted to enter Weiya Mountain, which was also a suspicious tactic. When the eyeliner hidden inside the Broken Army passed Wen Tianxiang's true purpose to Zhang Hongfan's own hands, he wanted to adjust his strategy, but it was also too late.
is a good Wen Tianxiang, worthy of being the champion of the Great Song Dynasty, and worthy of being praised by Liu Mengyan, Xu Heng and others. In the Battle of Jiangxi, when facing Li Heng, he was still a nerd on paper. By the time of the Battle of Shaowu, he had learned how to harass tactical exhaustion and disintegrate enemy forces. During the Battle of Quanzhou, his arrangement of troops was full of loopholes. In this battle of Guangzhou, he cleverly used a golden cicada to get out of the shell. Such an opponent is worth fighting. If you just rely on those divine weapons, no matter whether you win or lose, you will never look down on him.
Zhang Hongfan thought silently, his fingers kept curling, calculating which move to start with next.
"Marshal Du, I'm afraid we don't have time to recuperate!" Li Heng knew Zhang Hongfan's thoughts and said in a low voice.
"This is ......" Zhang Hongfan just wanted to ask what Li Heng wanted to express, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately swallowed the remaining half of the sentence back. Li Heng was right, the fighter plane was fleeting, and the brothers had no time to rest. Since Wen Tianxiang has the ability to think of this trick of the golden cicada coming out of his shell, there must be other deployments.
"Now that we are returning to Guangzhou, I'm afraid it's too late, and we all underestimate the literary thief. Fogang and Luofu Mountain are only eighty miles, and the main force of our army is in Xinhui, and Zhang Shijie may have been rescued. Ali Hague also came to his senses and exclaimed loudly.
"If it is an elite soldier like yesterday's sneak attack on the opposite fort, there are 1,000 people, which is enough to save Zhang Shijie from trouble, what is the use of me waiting to return to the army?" Arakhan's reaction was not slow, and he shouted. Last night, when the fierce battle was in full swing, a fire suddenly broke out on the other side of the cliff gate, and more than 20 forts were blown up. Zhang Hongzheng led his troops to rescue, and he didn't kill until the fire was extinguished, only to know that the opponent had less than 500 people. And just a few hundred soldiers caused a loss of more than 2,000 dead and wounded to the Yuan army. In the end, dozens of people fell into the boat under the cliff with the help of slings, and their whereabouts are unknown.
"There are not so many strong men who can climb the cliff in the dark and attack the defenders of my fort in the dark." Zhang Hongfan shook his head and analyzed in a low voice. "But by the time the main force of our army rushed back, the remnants of Zhang Shijie would definitely have been freed. At present, the key is to grasp the fighter plane and quickly attack Fujian. Force Wen Tianxiang to fight a decisive battle with our army, otherwise, if it continues like this, the situation of Fan Wenhu's waste is estimated to be worse! ”
"You're saying that the Broken Army may fight against Liangzhe?" Arhan asked in surprise.
"Not a possibility, but a certainty. Since Wen Tianxiang didn't plan to send heavy troops to aid Yashan from the beginning, why did he withdraw Zhang Tang, Xiao Mingzhe, Li Xing and others from Liangzhe. And the territory in hand was easily released. He wanted a new annex army of Liangzhejiang, not the land of Liangzhejiang. I estimate that if Fan Wenhu doesn't chase him, he will definitely fall into the trap of the Broken Army. Whether you can save your life or not, it's still between the two! Zhang Hongfan called Zhang Qi and other young generals in front of him and analyzed them carefully.
In this battle, Wen Tianxiang used too many new tactics. The naval division crossed the sea into Lin'an, the battleships rescued the dynasty at night, and the elite soldiers attacked the artillery position. All kinds of methods, although they are still unfamiliar, are all methods that have never been used by famous generals in the past. It is conceivable that with the equipping of new weapons and the manufacture of new warships, the Breaker Army will come up with more new tricks. If the generals are the slightest careless, they will fall into his way and end up in the same fate as Page Mishi, Suo Du and others.
Next, there will be a protracted war between the Great Yuan and the Southern Song Dynasty. And who ultimately wins this battle depends on the generals of both sides, who has the fastest understanding of the new tactics and can best adapt to them. There will be a time when new weapons will be exhausted, and new generals will emerge one after another.
"General Qiqi Zhang, among the cliffs, there are more than 70 large ships, more than 300 medium-sized warships, and countless small boats in Wuyan!" A soldier covered in mud ran over from the harbor and half-knelt in front of Zhang Qi to report.
"Father, what about the sea line, are we still chasing?" Zhang Jue was unwilling to let the remnant Song escape like this, and asked tentatively. There were more than 370 large ships, which was enough to arm a naval division. If the Great Song sailors who were forced to surrender in Guangzhou were scattered and incorporated into the Yuan army......
"If you don't chase it, the waves on the sea are strong, and our soldiers may not be able to adapt to it. Even if you catch up, you are no match for the Breaker Naval Division. The battleships were handed over to Li Shuai, and when the waves on the sea were small, try to attack Huizhou along the coast. You count the corporal as soon as possible, get out of Guangzhou, and return to Xunzhou! Zhang Hongfan shook his head and ordered loudly.
"Yes, the last general obeys!" Zhang Jue was slightly disappointed in his heart, arched his hand, and ran down quickly.
Zhang Hongfan looked at his son's back and walked away, nodded lightly, and in his heart, there was a new battle plan. The Battle of Guangnan has ended so far, although he did not catch the little emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, but he ended the Jianghuai army under Zhang Shijie, this result is not too bad.
In the next Battle of Fujian, he had to fight fast to break Wen Tianxiang's plan to try to confront the imperial court for a long time. Taking advantage of the fact that Zhang Tang, Li Xing, Xiao Mingzhe and others were still in Liangzhe, and taking advantage of the fact that Chen Hangyan's headquarters was still in Zhangzhou to deal with the aftermath of the Guangnan Campaign, he stabbed the heart of the broken army.
This fighter is fleeting. If Dachun can see it, Zhang Hongfan hopes that he can take the first step. When Da Chun attracts Wen Tianxiang's attention, he will have a better chance.
After the first battle of Guangnan, Zhang Hongfan had no intention of playing Wen Tianxiang like a fool between applause. What he has to do now is to fight fast and compare with Wen Tianxiang, who grasps the fighter more accurately, and who adjusts the strategy in a timely manner.
"Zhang Shuai, if my army sends troops to the sea?" Li Heng whispered in Zhang Hongfan's ear. As the deputy marshal, he is very good at maintaining the authority of the coach, and when he has an idea, he never makes a loud show, but whispers in a low voice, letting Zhang Hongfan make a judgment first.
"Li Shuai, all the captured battleships belong to you and bring them back to Guangzhou. We waited for the soldiers to send Mei, follow the two states, and go straight to the southern sword. You lead the men and horses of your headquarters and a few new generals to march east along the coast, and you must hold off Mrs. Xu's Xing Song army and make her unable to return to Fujian! Zhang Hongfan nodded and ordered in a low voice.
"Yes!" Li Heng agreed. I am happy in my heart, the generals of the states of Guangnan East Road have a lot of property, and when they come to their own command, they will have some filial piety. If they were using their familiar specialties to visit a few beautie......s, Li Heng thought, and his eyes showed a lustful light.
"Li Shuai is careful, the thief is scheming, and he can't be measured by common sense. After dividing the troops, Li Shuai must do two! Zhang Hongfan saw the expression on Li Heng's face, and said with some unease. The command, command, and combat capability of the party general in front of him are all the best choices, and the only drawback is that he is greedy for money and lustful, and wherever he passes, he always arouses the voice of complaints from local officials.
"Boss, please speak!" Li Heng hugged his fists and said with a very serious look.
"First, it is forbidden to use naval divisions to fight with the enemy. Even if it's one out of ten, you can't engage in battle! ”
"Yes! The last will obey! Li Heng nodded in agreement, but he was a little disapproving. According to the captured villagers, there were only five warships that rescued the Song Emperor last night, and the rest were all merchant ships. With only five warships, Li Heng didn't believe that the other party had three heads and six arms, and he could defeat his sailors armed with hundreds of warships in the harbor.
"Second, after dark, you must not leave the barracks and travel alone!" Zhang Hongfan didn't know what Li Heng was thinking, and then advised.
"This? The last general respectfully respected the commander and taught" Li Heng was a little dissatisfied, but quickly agreed. It was originally a very common thing for high-ranking generals in the army to rob people's women into the camp for recreation. The imperial court has always turned a blind eye to this. But instead of playing in the barracks, Li Heng prefers to go to the other party's house to have fun. Looking at the look of the family who dare not speak out, will let him find more fun in the master.
"The two deputy marshals, the cleaning of the burned palace and the treasury of Yashan, bothered the two deputy marshals to select and send people. Zhang took the first step and waited for the arrival of the two marshals in Guangzhou, and early tomorrow morning, the army set off immediately! Zhang Hongfan turned around and ordered Ali Hague and Arakhan.
"Yes, the last general obeys!" Ali Hague and Arahan happily agreed. At first, Zhang Hongfan let Li Heng lead the army alone and increased his troops, which made the two deputy marshals of Arakhan and Ali Hague slightly dissatisfied in their hearts. But when he heard that Zhang Hongfan took care of the palace and treasury of the remnant Song Dynasty, the two deputy marshals were overjoyed.
Although the soldiers of the Song army in charge of the broken period burned down the palace and warehouse, all that were burned were silk, cloth, calligraphy and paintings. Objects such as gold and silver are not afraid of fire and will not be easily burned. Cleaning up the palace and warehouse meant that the two of them could fill their pockets with whatever they had stolen. Anyway, everyone knows that the treasury and the palace were burned down by the Song people, and in the future, the imperial historians will not be able to accuse everyone of corruption. This favor is much greater than adding tens of thousands of new annexes under his command who will not fight and will only drag people down.
Immediately, Ah Rahan and Ali Hague ordered hundreds of soldiers with quick hands and feet, and began to search for the gold and silver in the remnants of the Song Palace. When Zhang Hongfan walked away, he took the people near the palace and searched them like combing their hair. Regardless of whether the owner of the house was present or not, the Mongol soldiers kicked in the door, rummaged through the cabinets, and behaved more casually than in their own homes.
The people who did not have time to flee dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. With a smiling face, he endured the rudeness of the Mongols, but prayed silently in his heart, expecting the gods and Buddhas to open their eyes, look at the world upside down in black and white, and bless the young emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to escape.
"The Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and saves the suffering, the wind and rain are smooth, the wind and rain are smooth!" An old lady in her seventies knelt in front of a jade Guanyin and muttered prayers.
There was a "bang" on the door, and several Mongolian soldiers broke into the door. kicked over the old lady, picked up Guanyin and looked at it critically, nodded with satisfaction, and walked away.
The rain was blown in by the wind from the broken door panel and fell on the old man's face. The old man lying on the ground twitched a few times, slowly got up, continued to kneel on the futon, and muttered prayers to the empty Buddha seat.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, please open your eyes, open your eyes!"
As if hearing her prayers, the wind outside gradually subsided, the rain slowly subsided, and a few rays of sunlight slowly penetrated from behind the dark clouds, and in an instant, the sunlight sprinkled half of the sea.
Thousands of frightened waterfowl soared into the sky with their chirps, spreading their wings under the dark clouds and on the blue sea.
White gulls circled the sails, and more than 50 boats of different sizes lined up in a long line, lying quietly among the blue waves......
Lu Xiufu, Deng Guangjian, Zhang De, Ling Zhen, the officials who had picked up a life from the brink of death staggered onto the deck. The storm finally stopped, and the sea was as calm as a sleeping girl, and there were no more waves like mountains. Within a few dozen miles, there are no trees or mountains, and there is only a soft blue as far as the eye can see.
After being tossed by the wind and waves all night, everyone was pale and exhausted at this moment, but no one wanted to sleep. Holding on to the wooden railing of the deck, he looked out like the tail of a fleet, silently counting the number of ships in his heart.
One, two, three, four... There were fifty-two of them, and thirteen of them were gone. That means that at least more than 3,000 lives were given to last night's storm.
"Alas!" Someone sighed and looked up to see the long-lost sun overhead. In the eye, it is a striking white. On the warship, the white sails like clouds hang high, and the wind pushes the battleship to chop the waves.
"It turns out that this ship is different from the naval division battleship behind." Someone looked at the towering mainmast and whispered. finally understood that Wen Tianxiang was not gambling with everyone's lives. The trunk of the battleship under his feet was about the same width as the original battleship of the Great Song Dynasty, but it was three times as long as the original. The three main masts are towering into the sky, and under the masts, more than 40 sails are hung horizontally and vertically. Some of the sails were rounded by the wind, while others were not open and were wrapped in cables. Obviously, in order to take care of the pace of the fleet, the battleship did not exert its full strength.
"General Miao, are there many such warships in the Broken Army? Why aren't all such ships coming? The young emperor Zhao Yu stood at the stern of the ship, looking at the long fleet and asked.
After experiencing a wandering on the edge of life and death, and last night's wind and waves, he seemed to grow up in an instant. In front of him, it was as if someone had opened a door in an instant, and he saw many things in the palace that he had never seen, and Lu Xiufu and the others would not and had not taught him.
For example, the ship, the sail, the compass, the gun, the contract, the duty, and a series of concepts that seem to be understood.
"Not much, just these five ships, not long after they were launched!" Miao Chun pointed to the side of another battleship not far away and said, "Most of the warships used by the sailors are still remodeled from old ships. Your Majesty can see the traces under the ship's paint, and only this new warship with large thick plates can withstand the waves. ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Yu nodded, and seemed to understand Miao Chun's words.
The exact details are unknown. The last general heard that this ship was built according to the structure of the Fuku, Guang and Arab ships, and was built with reference to the drawings given by the Bunda, and it has been improved many times. The hull is mostly made of whole materials, unlike my original battleship in the Great Song Dynasty, which is all made up of shortcomings......" Miao Chun scratched his scalp and explained embarrassedly. He couldn't say why the new ship was built the way it was. I only know that after the completion of this appearance, the speed of the ship is much faster, and the sailing is much smoother.
"It turns out that the people of Semu, in addition to sailing, also know how to build ships!" Zhao Yu combined his impression of the gray-haired old man last night and came to his own conclusion.
"We know, there's a lot they don't know. They understand, and we don't know a lot. Anyway, if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. If you learn their skills, we won't suffer! Miao Chun smiled, looked at Lu Xiufu, who was not far away and pricked up his ears to listen to his conversation with the young emperor, raised his voice and said.
He suddenly found that Zhao Yu was a very interesting child. Such a child must not follow those scholars and stay in the middle of his life, and he will die of picking half of the Analects for the rest of his life. In the future, when he had the opportunity, he was determined to secretly teach Zhao Yu many things, some of which he had learned from the battlefield, some of which he had learned from Prime Minister Wen, and some of which he had heard from the Semu people, the Franks, and even more distant peoples.
In short, Prime Minister Wen let himself take the young emperor out of the encirclement, and he could no longer trap him in another desperate encirclement. Looking at Lu Xiufu, Deng Guangjian and others who were slowly approaching, Miao Chun thought secretly in his heart.
"General Miao, where are we going?" Lu Xiufu walked in slowly and asked in a low voice. Suddenly, he was wary of the seemingly rough general in front of him, lest he be oversighted and let him abduct the emperor.
"This is also what I am preparing for the emperor and Lord Lu, and at this time I will sail due east. You can go to Liuqiu, or you can go to Quanzhou. Liuqiu was far away from Fujian and Liangguang, and the Northern Yuan currently had no fleet to attack. The Marquis of Minxiang plans to rebuild the palace for His Majesty there, and Prime Minister Wen will also send troops to escort him! Miao Chun raised his head and said loudly, his eyes as deep as the sea in front of him. Another destination was Quanzhou, where after Zhang Hongfan took Yashan, he would immediately storm Fujian, and Dachun's soldiers and horses had entered Tingzhou. At this moment, where the ship is going, please let Master Lu know! ”
