Chapter 807: Court Meeting
Chapter 807 Court Meeting
The arrows that have just been fired are white phosphorus arrows, and the arrows are glass tubes sealed with white phosphorus and kerosene, and the production process is very dangerous, so there are not many of them.
Su You is not intended to be used for land warfare, because this thing can be used against camps in the wilderness at most, and it is not very useful against cities with earth and stone structures.
After Zhang San's reminder, Su You realized in time that in today's naval battle, only the sails of the opponent need to be burned, and everything will be fine.
So now this thousand arrows are only an experimental specimen of a small-dose unit, and in order to really work, they have to be launched into the sails of enemy ships through ballistas and hung, and then detonate and ignite.
Fortunately, most of the villages in Guangyuan Prefecture are wooden pillars and thatched roof structures, which are basically a little bit.
The fire in the stockade is getting bigger and bigger, and it is already completely chaotic.
A commander rushed to Liu Ji's side: "Observer, this fire can't be extinguished!" Withdraw! ”
Liu Ji looked at a few sergeants who were unfortunately shot by the arrows just now, howling and rolling on the ground, the flames on their bodies rose with the extinguishment, and several sergeants around him frantically took their clothes to slap, but it was useless.
The flames burned bigger and bigger, and the sergeant's tumbling cry gradually stopped, such a miserable image made a battle-hardened person like Liu Ji only feel that both legs were trembling.
What is even more frightened is the barbarians of Guangyuan Prefecture, for them, this fire is simply the legendary divine wrath of heaven, five thousand barbarians shouted wildly and cut the Jiaozhi army guarding the back road, and ran towards their own stockade.
Be sure to tell the village elders the news, the color of the Song Army's uniform, just like the fire they brought, can't be stopped!
Yanda's 8,000 Song troops stood there, looking at the raging fire burning on the hillside, and the shocked Yaqi was silent.
From time to time, on the upper floors of the wooden city, there were burning fire men, jumping from the upper floors, and they would rather be thrown to death than endure the torment of being burned by the flames.
Jun Sima quietly asked Yan Da: "General, what will you do next?" ”
Yan Da wiped a handful of cold sweat from his head and smacked his lips: "After the fire is extinguished, the letters that Liu Ji had secretly surrendered to Cheng will be posted and published everywhere, and at the same time, he will use a proclamation to inform the heads of the Jiaozhi Army and the Zhutong in Guangyuan Prefecture. ”
"Within three days, you must come here to surrender, otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!"
Two days later, Liu Ji finally made up his mind to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, and he surrendered very completely.
This baby is a partial teacher, mainly playing a role in echoing, and there is not much blood of the Song people in her hands, so the psychological pressure is not great.
Not only did he arrive as scheduled, and in addition to all the 3,000 Jiaozhi troops disarming and surrendering to Cheng, Liu Ji even brought his family members to Yan Da as hostages, and also brought the heads of the Gu Nong, the Eight Fine and the two big barbarians, and 5,000 Dingkou.
More than 3,000 people of the Great Song Dynasty plundered by Liu Ji were brought out at this time.
Guangyuan Village has been burned into a white ground, and there is still a dark red charcoal fire on the huge wooden pillar.
The long procession passed through the coke ruins and gathered in the open space in front of the wall.
Liu Ji's face was a little pale, the fire was not terrible, the terrible thing was that he didn't know how it burned at all, why it was like a maggot attached to the bone, difficult to extinguish.
Compared with that, the Song army's sophisticated equipment, high morale, and tall horses of the cavalry army were not so frightening.
Yan Da rode on the big black horse and looked down at Liu Ji who was coming.
Liu Ji felt that Mang's back was stabbed, so he hurried a few steps and crawled in front of Yan Da's horse: "Liu Ji, the criminal minister of the lower country, meet the general Yan of the Heavenly Empire." ”
……
Liu Ji's surrender greatly boosted the momentum of the Song army, and Emperor Zhang of the Li Dynasty was at a loss and hurriedly sent Li Changjie back from Zhancheng to preside over military affairs.
Thang Long Province, the capital of Li Viet.
is similar to Song Taizu, Li Gongyun, the Taizu of the Li Dynasty, was the former commander of the Li Dynasty's left guard palace.
After seizing the Cochin region, the founding of the country is a great Yue, it is rumored that the Yellow Dragon rises in the Fuliang River, Li Gongyun thought it was a good omen, and ordered the minister to investigate the place where the Yellow Dragon rose.
The minister came back to report that place was a treasure of feng shui, "in the area of the house world, the dragon and the tiger are in the momentum, and the position of the north, south, east and west is appropriate." ”
Li Gongyun was happy, moved the capital there, and named it Thang Long.
After the third king, Shengzong, the Li Dynasty established a political system similar to that of the Tang and Song dynasties.
After the Taishi Li Daocheng took office, he realized the importance of Confucianism in the establishment of a feudal unified state, and began to implement the imperial examination.
The year before last, the edict selected the Ming Jing erudition, and tried Confucianism three times, and Li Wensheng, a scholar in the Dayue Kingdom, was selected and entered the emperor's study.
At the beginning of the year, the Guozijian was set up in Thang Long Province, and the literate civil officials were selected to study the Chinese language, and the officials were evaluated by writing and criminal law.
The strength of the Li Dynasty can be said to be the credit of Li Daocheng and Li Changjie's literature and martial arts.
This is a strange era, whether it is the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia, Liao State, Qing Tang Dynasty, there are women active in the political arena.
Today's Li Dynasty is in the implementation of the curtain to listen to the government, and the power is in the hands of the Empress Dowager Li.
Li Changjie's resolute voice sounded in the main hall: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, 60,000 Song troops, led by Guo Kui and Zhao Yu, captured Guangyuan Prefecture the day before yesterday, and Liu Ji, the observation envoy of Guangyuan Prefecture, surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty without handing over a soldier or sending an arrow!" ”
A low exclamation suddenly came from above.
Li Qiande's imperial uncle, the fourth prince Hong Zhenhou, stood up and came out: "What kind of system!" The Song people haven't come to Thang Long Mansion yet! ”
The court suddenly fell silent.
Taishi Li Daocheng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, it is still too late to ask for peace with the Great Song Dynasty." ”
"Taishi is cautious!" Hong Zhenhou said sharply: "It's now, is there any reason to ask for peace?" ”
Another clan, Zhaowen Hou, also stood up: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the Song army is only 60,000, and it is a guest army. This is the emperor of the Song Dynasty arrogant, send people to die, I Dayue is completely defeated without a fight. ”
Li Daocheng said: "Song has 300 military states, and the national strength is bigger and stronger than mine, if it is not a small country like Zhancheng and Zhenla, even if it is defeated this time, is there no next time?" ”
Empress Dowager Li coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, what do you say?" ”
Li Qiande sat on the dragon chair, glanced at the waiter Li Wensheng, and saw Li Wensheng with his head down, standing there motionless with a perfect demeanor, and also lowered his head: "But it's up to the mother to decide." ”
Empress Dowager Li is not a simple role, after the death of the Holy Emperor, Li Chao was a young monarch and had a period of time when the two palaces were jointly curtained and listened to the government.
The mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager Yang, and the biological mother, Concubine Yilan, were the two major authorities at that time, but Concubine Yilan was jealous by nature and instigated Renzong to kill the Empress Dowager Shangyang and 76 maids, causing a palace tragedy.
Li Daocheng, the prince who was in charge of the government at that time, hurried into the palace after hearing the news, but it was too late.
Li Daocheng burst into tears: "Why do you kill your heirs and abuse innocents, so far!" ”
Concubine Yilan dared to do this, because Li Changjie controlled the military power of Jiaozhi, and after the palace change, Concubine Yilan became the Empress Dowager Li.
Later, the Empress Dowager Li favored Li Changjie and rewarded her greatly, Li Changjie did not disappoint her, crusading everywhere, gaining prestige, subduing Hong Zhenhou, Zhaowen Hou and other clans that were ready to move, restricting the power of Li Daocheng's Wenchen lineage, and allowing the Empress Dowager Li to sit firmly in the position of the Empress Dowager, control the government, and be majestic for a while.
I heard Empress Dowager Li say: "Taibao, do you have anything to say about the opinion of the Taishi?" ”
Li Changjie bowed down and said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, what the Taishi said is indeed true. ”
In the court, there was a buzzing whisper.
Li Changjie only glanced at the hall, and the hall was suddenly silent.
Li Changjie then continued: "What the Taishi said is indeed reasonable, but Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, this matter depends on how to analyze it." ”
"This time, I marched into the army, went down to Sanzhou in January, swept 300,000 people, and slaughtered 200,000 people, in order to test the reality of the Song Dynasty."
"The thieves sowed chaos before, in addition to attacking our dynasty, they also invaded the Song Dynasty, and they were still able to besiege Guangzhou with the momentum of being poor."
"The main force of the Song Dynasty is in the northwest, northeast, and as for the south, now I can say that they are empty of troops, and they can't reach the whip."
"This time, the Song army came south, and there were 60,000 of them, but where did they come from?"
"To the north of the two roads in Quang Nam is Jinghu; To the north of Jinghu Lake is the Sichuan Gorge; The north of the Sichuan Gorge is Shaanxi. ”
"That is to say, the Song Dynasty itself knew that its south was empty, and it needed to transfer troops from its northern border, cross the mountains and mountains, cross the state and cross the government, and cross the entire country!"
