Chapter 62: Isolation
At the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Dengzhou was a port for maritime trade between Korea and Japan because it was close to Goryeo and Japan, and the envoys of Goryeo to the Song Dynasty also entered from Dengzhou.
In the seventh year of Song Zhenzong's Dazhong Xiangfu (1014), the Goryeo envoy Yin Zhenggu paid tribute to "two dragons and phoenix saddles, two fine horses, and twenty-four loose horses." Zheng Gu also, gave the edict of the Goryeo Hyeonjong seven passes, and with silver color, saddle horses, etc. In eight years, Zhaodeng Prefecture set up a museum in Haici to wait for the envoy. ”
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Goryeo envoys led many missions from Dengzhou to the Song Dynasty. Since the middle of the Song Dynasty, due to the tension between the Song Dynasty and the Liao and Jin Dynasty and the southward relocation of the Song Dynasty, the political and economic center has moved southward, and Dengzhou has gradually been replaced by Mingzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.
Dengzhou City was built in the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked for the sacred mountain and did not meet, "because of the construction of the city as a name". The Tang Dynasty established Dengzhou in the south of Penglai Town, and changed Penglai Town to Penglai County, and established the earliest Dengzhou City. The east gate of the city is the Xianmen, the south gate is in the west of the Shangshui Gate, and the north gate is on the south bank of the painting river 200 meters east of the Xiashui Gate. The painting river is a moat that surrounds the east and north of Dengzhou City.
The knife fish village is in the north of Dengzhou Prefecture, leading the sea into the water city by the sluice, and the local people take the name Xiaohai, which is a military port for mooring warships. Since the pseudo-Qi occupied this place, Dengzhou has become a seaport.
Since the Jin people invaded the Song Dynasty in the south, the war in various parts of Shandong intensified, the situation was turbulent, and a large number of refugees from Hebei and Shandong poured into Dengzhou, which was near the sea, to seek shelter. For a time, the coastal islands were overcrowded, the people formed villages to protect themselves, and the fierce and vicious people were all over them, and the mud and dirt in which they were located, and the yellow and white things were everywhere, and the living environment was disgusting.
Everywhere on the island, there are ragged and unkempt refugees, all of them with sallow faces and dull eyes, many of them without shoes, barefoot, and their clothes revealing large swaths of skin, shivering in the low temperature.
As more refugees poured into the sea, tens of thousands of people had gathered around the village. If it weren't for the mild climate in Dengzhou, I don't know how many people would have been buried in this hilly and uninhabited land.
Lack of food, lack of clothes and clothing, in this unpopular place, sometimes one or two baked cakes can sleep a big girl with yellow flowers. In order to get some food, there was an endless stream of women who were forced to sell their bodies, and most of the objects of betrayal were the pseudo-Qi soldiers in Daoyu Village and Dengzhou City.
Yawning, a sleepy-eyed Jiang Xin came out of a thatched hut. Last night, he spent only two liters of rice and a piece of coarse cloth to take the body of the fourteen-year-old daughter of the hut couple.
In these days, human life is as cheap as a dog, let alone a woman's chastity.
Jiang Xin didn't take a few steps, and subconsciously glanced at the sea, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The sea was densely packed with boats, and they stopped in front of the stockade, and the sergeants on the bow were hurriedly preparing, as if they were about to attack.
"There is ......"
Jiang Xingang shouted out a word, and his voice stopped abruptly. A man sprang out from the hidden place next to him, and the short knife stabbed Jiang Xin in the chest several times.
When the couple in the hut came out, they were all stunned when they saw the tragic situation in front of them.
"The loyal and righteous army do things, and don't make noise among idle people, otherwise they will be killed!"
The couple nodded again and again, and hurried back into the house, closing the broken door tightly.
One by one, the loyal soldiers climbed the slope, and they quickly moved forward, heading straight for the gate of the water village.
Seeing countless sergeants coming towards the gate of the water village, the guards in the water village knocked on the fight, and the whole water village was in chaos.
"Fuck the dog!"
The grenadiers took out the earth-shattering thunder one after another, lit it, and smashed it towards the gate of the water village.
The explosions came and went, and the barracks at the gate of the water village were shrouded in gunsmoke, and the puppet Qi sergeants suffered heavy casualties and began to flee in all directions like crazy.
"Take control of the gate and pull out the fence!"
The water fence was quickly removed, and warships came towards the water wall. Pseudo-Qi water in the water village
The soldiers were panicked and in disarray, and they ran towards the ships one after another, wanting to board the ships to confront the Song army.
Huang Feihu stood on a warship, and he could clearly see that there were dozens of large and small warships moored in the water village, arranged in an arc along the wall, and some pseudo-Qi soldiers had already boarded the ship and were about to drive out.
"Fuck these shit!"
The warship was getting closer and closer, and it was less than 300 steps away from the opponent's warship, and finding that there was no fire running on the opponent's ship at all, Huang Feihu's heart was put back in his stomach. He roared loudly and commanded the warships to line up, and the faint muzzles on them were aimed at the warships in the water wall.
The soldiers were scrambling to get ready, and they were so close that they could even fake the panicked looks on the faces of the soldiers on the opposing ships. By the time they finished loading their ammunition, the opposing ship's ships were already crowded with panicked soldiers, and many of the warships were heading outward, apparently trying to resist stubbornly and break out of the encirclement of the Loyal Army's sailors.
"Ready!"
Huang Feihu shouted loudly.
"Fire!"
With Huang Feihu's roar, the sound of the "Pengpengpeng" cannon rang out one after another, and thick smoke erupted from the muzzle, and the hull began to swing slightly.
Huge iron balls flew in the air, and on the puppet warship, the planks were broken, sawdust was flying, the sound of "Titicaca" was endless, the hull of the ship was punched out of several holes, and the sea water suddenly spread in.
Some soldiers were hit by shells, their muscles and bones were broken, their flesh and blood were blurred, and they shouted in pain on the ship, which intensified the panic of the soldiers on board.
The artillery of the Song army caused them heavy casualties, and they couldn't hold their heads up. Several of the opposing warships took the opportunity to come closer.
The pseudo-Qi soldiers desperately shot arrows outward, and their crossbow arrows were fired in unison, and the Song army was shot overturned on the boat, and the advancing ships stopped one after another.
"With a flowering bullet!"
Huang Feihu was furious, commanded the artillery, and huge flowering shells were moved out one by one.
The gunners estimated the distance, cut the fuse to the right length, and loaded the huge flowering shells into the chambers.
"Fire!"
As Huang Feihu's roar sounded, the earth-shattering cannon sound continued, and one by one the flowering shells fell on the opponent's warship, and some even exploded in the air, while the sawdust flew in the air, the iron pieces flew in the air, wantonly harvesting the lives of the pseudo-Qi soldiers on the ship.
"Blow them up for Lao Tzu!"
Chen Ping had a shield in his hand, only a boat, and only slid forward desperately, and when he got closer, he commanded the grenadiers to throw the smoking earth-shattering thunder one after another on the bow of the other party's boat.
Dozens of earth-shattering thunderbolts exploded continuously, killing and wounding the battleship, and screams everywhere. After the soldiers threw out the second earth-shaking thunder, the pseudo-Qi soldiers on the ship could no longer withstand the double rage of the opponent's sky-shaking thunder and flowering bombs, and they jumped into the sea one after another, and no one could endure such cruel killing.
The people on the shore had already been awakened, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes as they watched the water fight brutally inside.
"Kill these dogs!"
"These shit, none of them are good, kill them all!"
I don't know who started it, and the people on the shore shouted one after another. They shouted loudly, and the sound of the mountains and tsunamis was heard far away.
Seeing some deserters rushing ashore, the refugees rushed forward and knocked them to the ground one by one, and soon fell silent.
The sound of the cannon of "Pengpeng" continued to sound, the explosion of earth-shattering thunder was endless, and the puppet Qi soldiers on the ship suffered heavy casualties.
The battle was very brutal, under the attack of the opponent's artillery and earth-shattering thunder, the pseudo-Qi soldiers on the ship could only be beaten, but had no power to fight back. Seeing the opposing warships approaching one after another, the pseudo-Qi soldiers were terrified, and the white flags on the ships were scattered
Hung out.
"Stop fighting, we're down!"
"Grandpa Song Jun, we've descended!"
Huang Feihu led the soldiers and finally landed on the shore.
"Go ashore immediately, move all the small cannons, and no matter what, you will occupy Dengzhou City today!"
"General, the villain is willing to lead the way in front of his head and cut off the nest of these dogs!"
Dozens of beggar-like refugees ran up and volunteered to be guides.
Huang Feihu nodded and said loudly: "Then thank you folks!"
Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and the pseudo-Qi followed the Jurchens to burn, kill and loot, and do evil, which has long been a matter of anger and resentment.
"General, what should I do with these soldiers, do you want to lock them up on Salmon Island, that's a good place."
Salmon Island, two hundred miles north of Dengzhou, used to be where prisoners were held, but I don't know what has become of it now.
"Salmon Island, that's cheaper for them!"
Huang Feihu sneered and said: "Our army has now occupied the northwest, and those abandoned forts, post stations, and even Tuntian camps all need manpower, and they can't be cheap!"
Chen Ping nodded, shook his head and said, "I don't know if Zhang Du and them have captured Jinan Mansion?"
Huang Feihu said categorically: "With the 30,000 elites of my loyal army, can't I deal with just one Liu Yu, isn't it a joke!" We only need to capture Dengzhou and cut off Liu Yu's back road, and the other brothers who have their own infantry army!"
Huang Feihu left half of the people to stick to the water village, and led the other half of the people, and was about to move forward, but he met the people who knelt on the ground in front of him.
"Folks, get up, why is that?"
"General, we are on this island, there are many people who are starving to death, and I hope that the general will open a warehouse and release grain, and give me a way to live."
After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he began to kowtow. The people in the back place kowtowed one after another, all begging the loyal and righteous army to show kindness and save them.
\\\
"Rise up, folks, General Ben is here to assure you that from this day forward, not a single person will starve to death, and not a single person will freeze to death. Rest assured, everyone!"
The people kowtowed, and many wept bitterly.
Huang Feihu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the refugees, who were ragged and no different from beggars.
Suddenly, a loud voice arose from the people.
"Zhang Er, Zhang Er's sister-in-law, your eldest sister hanged herself!"
A couple stood up from the crowd, ran backwards, and got into a thatched hut not far away, and cried loudly.
"What happened?"
Huang Feihu was also a little surprised.
"General, Zhang Er's daughter is only fourteen years old, and there is no way to be hungry, so let the man sleep with her and change a little food. Probably hearing that the general could save her parents, she hanged herself!"
"That shitty ruffian who slept with her has been killed by you!"
Many of the women in the refugee crowd bowed their heads. They were also so hungry that they had to do the same to themselves.
Huang Feihu couldn't help but sigh. What has this dog's world forced people to become.
He was about to lead people forward, when a soldier in front of him hurriedly ran back.
"General, the gate of Dengzhou City is wide open, the officials and soldiers in the city have fled, and Dengzhou City is now an empty city."
Huang Feihu nodded slightly. Dengzhou City is separated by a moat from Shuizhai, and if it is lost here, it must have fled.
"Take over Dengju City immediately. Send someone to report to Deputy Dutong Zhang. Immediately open a warehouse to release grain and help the people......"
In March of the third year of Jianyan, the Loyal and Righteous Army Naval Division broke through the Daoyu Village and occupied Dengzhou City, the local officials fled, and the Loyal and Righteous Army Naval Division immediately sent troops to capture the neighboring Laizhou and Weizhou, and controlled the coastal estuary of Shandong, isolated from the north and south, and Shandong Liu Yu has become a turtle in the urn.
