The morning sun rose, the sun shone brightly in the sky, and thousands of soldiers on the city wall held their weapons and shouted wildly to celebrate their capture of this important town in the south of the Yangtze River from the hands of the Song army.

The sailors and rebels of Dongting Lake are now on land and water, spanning the north and south of the river, and they can compete with the Song Dynasty.

"Long live the Heavenly King!"

"Long live the Heavenly King!"

Yang Mi rode a tall horse, dressed in golden armor, surrounded by a group of knights, and entered from the west gate of Jiangning Mansion. Everywhere they went, the soldiers above and below the city wall shouted loudly and cheered, and everyone blushed.

Yang Mi's face was calm, but his heart was extremely proud, and the tide was surging. The big husband crisscrosses the world, controls the fate of thousands of people, all living beings lie at their feet, live as five tripod food, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, every move, the world is turbulent.

That's what heroes do.

On the head of the city, there were human heads of different faces, and their hair was scattered in buns, bloody and hideous. The corpses in the city are all over the place, the blood is all over the ground, and the smoke is still curling, and it is a group of depression after the war. The doors and windows of the people in the city were closed, and no one dared to go out, lest they lose their lives.

Yang Mi went all the way forward, trying his best to control the war horses under his seat, and waved frequently to his subordinates with a smile. In fact, there is no need for him to worry, the sergeant leading the horse in front is a master of riding and horse taming, and naturally knows how to take care of the emotions of the horse.

Jumping off the horse in front of the Zhizhou Yamen, Yang Qi couldn't help but shake his head and pat his numb buttocks.

As the saying goes, "southerners build boats, northerners ride horses", and I am used to sitting on the body of a boat, and I really don't fit into this horseback riding job.

I heard that Wang Song's subordinates had tens of thousands of cavalry and hundreds of sailors and warships. I don't know, compared with my own boat, which is better or worse.

Sitting down in the hall of the yamen, all the generals were looking forward to being proud and complacent. The rebel army, which is known for its sailors, can finally attack the city and get a piece of the pie on land.

"Heavenly King, Zhao Gou's little boy is really ridiculous, why did he canonize the Heavenly King and return the Duke of Xiangguo, I'm sorry!"

"According to me, it should be the king of heaven who canonized him! I think it's good to call him "Duke Lin'an"!"

""Lin'an Gong" is not good, I think it should be "Bianliang Gong", he can't go back anyway!"

"He still wants to connect with Sichuan, does he really think we are fools?"

All the generals laughed, and Yang Mi was also a waner.

These people, and the court hatred is as deep as the sea, they have long been endless, the court wants to recruit them, it can be described as a fool's dream, how can there be a reason to seek skin with the tiger?

Zhao Gou wanted to recruit them, but he wanted to open up Sichuan, so as to connect with Sichuan in the west. If he succeeds, he will not be attacked on his back. It's ridiculous!

"Zhang Guo, this kid is good! If he hadn't come up with this "fake trick" and took advantage of the situation, Jiangning City would not have been so easy to capture!"

Yang Mi's appreciation, all the generals nodded frequently. Zhang Guo, who was at the bottom of the list, quickly stood up and thanked the king for his praise.

"Brothers, do you know that our army relied on to break through Jiangning City?"

Yang Mi groaned slightly and asked the generals below.

"Heavenly King, this is needless to say, firstly, the Heavenly King has good guidance, and secondly, the brothers have sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, and they are not afraid of casualties."

"yes, yes! Those Song troops are all showy, the formation is neat, and after the brothers rushed and killed several times, they quickly broke up and fled, and a group of straight thieves were in ruins!"

Yang Qi nodded. Compared with the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, the righteous army fought bravely and died lightly, how could those "old soldiers" who were greedy for life and afraid of death be the opponents of the righteous army.

"In the past few years, our brothers have been able to conquer cities and conquer cities, and the officers and soldiers who have fought are full of fart, in addition to the many warships, the brothers have worked together, mainly this firearm."

The generals nodded one after another, Jiangning City had a bloody battle, the strength of the two sides was equal, the rebels suppressed each other in firearms, and the soldiers forgot their lives and died, and they won

It's also natural.

"You said that the firearms made by this court are not as good as He Bei, and you still want to make Wang Song bow down to him, isn't it a joke!"

Since the Song dynasty crossed to the south, the imperial court has been in a state of displacement. First of all, Wanyan Zongbi commanded the army to attack the south of the Yangtze River and burned Lin'an City. Later, it was the Miao Liu Mutiny, and a large number of soldiers fled, not to mention, and the people of Lin'an City were panicked.

The important thing is that the rise of Wang Song in the north has put everyone in the Great Song Dynasty in danger, everyone has different thoughts, and no one is really doing things, so how can there be the development and progress of these firearms.

"We are all using firearms from Hebei, and we are prepared for danger in times of peace, and we can't put our fate in the hands of others."

Yang Mi is worthy of being the leader of the rebel army, and he has a long-term vision than everyone else.

"Although this artillery and earth-shattering thunder are not expensive, and the price is fair, we can't always rely on Hebei."

"That's what the King said!"

Huang Zuo nodded and said: "You said that if Hebei doesn't sell firearms to us on that day, wouldn't the brothers have to fight with the officials and soldiers of the imperial court." I don't know how many brothers will die!"

Everyone nodded their heads and began to talk nonsense.

"Heavenly King, when you tell everyone about this today, it seems that you already have a score in your heart, don't you?"

Yang Cheng saw Yang Mi smiling, as if he was confident, and couldn't help but ask.

"Heavenly King, do you have something to tell you?"

Xia Cheng, the other leader of the rebel army, also asked loudly.

Yang Mi nodded slightly and nodded to the sergeant next to him.

The sergeant went out and soon brought some things up, including artillery, and thunder, and gunpowder.

"Come up and see, brothers, what's the difference?"

Everyone gathered around, some people held it in their hands, watched it repeatedly, and after looking at it for a while, Huang Zuo suddenly realized.

"Heavenly King, we made it ourselves, right?"

Everyone was stunned, and Yang Mi said with a smile:

"Yes, we made it ourselves. You can't always rely on Hebei, and all the hard-earned belongings are given to others!"

All the generals nodded yes, but Zhang Guo was secretly frightened. In this way, the righteous army is self-sufficient in firearms, and there is no way to control them in the future.

"Heavenly King, this iron cannon, cannonballs, bullet casings, etc., are easy to make. It's just that this gunpowder is difficult to adjust, and I'm afraid that it won't blow up. I wonder what we're doing?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, which is worse than Hebei's, but the power is acceptable."

Everyone came to the courtyard, where the officials and generals of Jiangning City who knelt down and were captured.

"Throw a few and try it."

Yang Mi nodded slightly, and the sergeant next to him understood. Several sergeants stepped forward one after another, and one of them picked up a heaven-shattering thunderbolt, lit it and threw it out in the midst of the crying fathers and mothers of the pale-faced captives.

"Pass! Pass!"

Thunder fell into the crowd, explosions rang out one after another, and broken pieces of iron ran rampant, harvesting the lives of captives, and blood and flesh blurred human bodies everywhere.

Some of the captured officers struggled to their feet and fled frantically towards the door, only to be cut down to the ground by the sergeants of the town, mercilessly.

A group of captives groaned and screamed, squirming in a pool of blood, Yang Mi's face was calm, and the generals were giggling and laughing, unmoved.

The two sides have a deep blood feud, the rebels hate the government, and killing has become the norm.

"Brothers, how is it, how powerful is this earth-shattering thunder?"

"Not bad, not bad! It seems that it is not much different from Hebei's, and it can come in handy!"

"Heavenly King, it's better for you to plan ahead and think thoughtfully. In the future, we won't have to look at Hebei's face again!"

Everyone praised it, and Zhang Guo also echoed loudly, but he was secretly worried in his heart. In the future, the prime minister will be restored

Jiangnan, I'm afraid it will take some twists and turns.

Looking at the prisoners kneeling on the ground, Yang Mi waved his hand in disgust.

These corrupt officials and corrupt officials, not killing them is not enough to make the people angry.

The sergeants stepped forward, slashed with knives and stabbed with guns, and after a while, the courtyard was full of corpses and blood, horizontal and vertical, and the state of death was different.

"Cut off your head and hang it on the wall! Clean up here too, it's a mess!"

Xia Cheng said loudly, his expression extremely impatient. After several years of fighting with the Great Song Dynasty, these people have long been hardened as iron.

"Among the brethren, choose those who are clever to serve as officials. Post a notice to reassure the people, not to harass the people, and let Yangzhou City settle down as soon as possible. ”

Advertise, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, you can cache to read books and read aloud offline!

If you control Yangzhou and Jiangning, you will control the outlet to the sea, and you will also control the traffic of the canal, and it will no longer be convenient to go north and south. When the time comes, set up a card to collect taxes, and the profit is unknown.

In addition, the grain stored in the warehouse in Jiangning City is enough to feed tens of thousands of troops for half a year, which can be said to be an unexpected harvest.

What's more, along the coast, there are so many salt pans, which are all white flowers and silver.

The importance of Huai salt is self-evident. Since the Song Dynasty, the salt tax has accounted for one-third to one-half of the entire fiscal revenue of the imperial court, and the Lianghuai salt tax has accounted for the first place in the country's salt tax revenue.

The salt tax alone could feed hundreds of thousands of troops. Yang Mi's purpose of capturing Yangzhou City and Jiangning City is already self-evident.

"Heavenly King, the loyal army occupies Haizhou, and Yancheng in Huaibei is also occupied by it. If we don't clash with the loyal army, we can only experience the salt farms of Taizhou and Tongzhou. ”

Huaiyan went from Haizhou to Chuzhou, Taizhou, and finally to Tongzhou, and the loyal and righteous army accounted for more than half of the salt works. If it is counted from Yangzhou's mouth to the sea, the loyal and righteous army accounts for two-thirds.

"We occupy Yangzhou and Jiangning, cut off the canal, look at his Wang Song's goods, how to sell them to Jiangnan, how to go to sea!"

Yang Qi snorted coldly. The military momentum is like a bamboo, and it also makes the ambition of this heavenly king swell extremely fast.

"Heavenly King, let's and the loyal army, it's best that the well water does not interfere with the river water. He beats him, let's do our own, no one will provoke anyone!"

"That is, anyway, Wang Song is north of the Huai River, and he still has to deal with the Jurchens, so we still have nothing to do with him, so as not to suffer from the enemy on our backs and cheapen Zhao Gou'er."

The subordinate generals spoke one after another, without exception, they all did not want to provoke a war with the loyal army. Everyone knows that the Loyal and Righteous Army is not the soft persimmon of the Song Army, anyone can pinch it.

Yang Mi nodded slightly. As long as Wang Song doesn't provoke himself, he doesn't bother to conflict with the other party.

"In the Song court, Han Shizhong can still fight, and the rest are all wreckless. Heavenly King, do we want to take advantage of the victory to pursue and occupy Lin'an Mansion?"

Everyone occupies Dongting Lake, a few years ago, Han Shizhong once led the army to conscript, the two sides fought several battles, each with casualties, so everyone appreciated Han Shizhong.

"Heavenly King, Han Shizhong is a military general, and he is always restrained by the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty. In addition, he is a northerner, and he can't take advantage of us if he fights with us!"

"What Xia Cheng said is true! The Jurchens went south, and in that yellow sky, Han Shizhong's sailors were wiped out, and they were beaten by the Jurchens. He may be able to jump a few times on the ground, and when he reaches this water, it is the world of our brothers!"

Huang Tiandang fights. Wanyan Zongbi approached the Song army fleet with a light boat carrying good archery soldiers, and used rockets to set fire to the Song army's canopy, which was huge and difficult to drive. Sun Shixun, Yan Yongji, and other Song commanders were killed in battle, and the Jin army took advantage of the situation to chase and kill for more than 70 miles, and the sea ships were destroyed.

"First pacify the counties in the south of the Yangtze River and occupy the mouth of the sea, and then we will wave our troops south and destroy the court of Dog Day!"

Yang Qizhi was complacent. It's just a mere Jiangning City, how can it satisfy the appetite of the righteous army!

Wouldn't it be much more comfortable to go south as soon as possible and let Emperor Song go fishing at sea?
