Chapter 354: At Stake
While reporting the victory to His Majesty and sending a detailed report, the Qiongzhou side also reported the victory to the imperial court and sent the seized seal, which caused quite a stir. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Qiongzhou relied on its own troops, did not use a single soldier of the imperial court, and achieved the record of destroying tens of thousands of enemies and destroying and capturing more than 500 warships. But some people think that this move is purely Zhang Shijie's troubles, which is clearly envy, jealousy and hatred, he has no ability to defeat the Mongols, and he is also jealous of his ability and suspicious of others.
Zhao Yu didn't care about the inspection at all, because he knew that Qiongzhou would not deceive himself, and he could not deceive himself. And the good news to the imperial court has also been previewed by him, some parts of it have been revised, and the results have also been 'shrunk', and re-investigation will only make them slap themselves in the face. As for the controversy, he privately hopes that the more fierce the better, the more the truth is argued, the clearer it will be, and it will also make some people's faces louder, and at the same time let people see the current situation clearly and think about how to stand in line again.
A few days passed after the court was lively for this matter, because no one had the courage to go to Qiongzhou to check their records. Go, if it is verified to be true, it must offend the envoy of Privy Envoy Zhang; If the report is untrue, can the people in Qiongzhou let them come back? And everyone also knows that Qiongzhou is run by His Majesty, although His Majesty says it now, but it will not be said forever, and when the old accounts are turned over one day, it is not still himself who is unlucky. Since no one is willing to go, then we can only think that this good news is real.
If it is true, it must be rewarded for meritorious deeds. So Shangshu Province drew up a list of rewards, among which Ying Jieyan, Jiang Xuan, Zhao Mengjin and Liu Zhu were knighted and marquised; Chen Renweng, Zhuang Siqi and several other leaders commanded and sealed the guards of the doctor; Officers who participated in the war, adjutant generals, left and right military doctors; In addition, more than 200 soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in combat have been transferred to the official title of Chengxinlang and Chengyilang; He also gave a thousand taels of gold and two thousand horses of silk to reward the army. Give the official and money, of course Zhao Yu has no opinion, and immediately approved it after the report came up, but he still felt that the people in the DPRK and China were too picky, and they gave too few things, so they had to post it upside down.
In any case, the victory in this battle still gave a shot in the arm to the predicamented imperial court, and greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians of Suihu. Of course, there were also discordant voices, they thought that Qiongzhou's victory over Ali Hague's naval army would inevitably alarm the Yuan court, arouse the anger of the enemy chieftain, and then send a large army to conquer and suppress, so that the imperial court would face a more dangerous situation, and there was no hope of peace. But the mainstream voice is still upward, thinking that this victory at least makes Ali Hague unable to pursue the imperial court in Xiahai and ensures the safety of the left flank......
However, the world is impermanent, as the saying goes, 'good fortune and bad fortune do not go alone', and just after a big victory over there, there were accidents one after another. After entering October, the main force of the Yuan army went south several ways, and Wang Daofu and Ling Zhen, the military department in Guangzhou, failed to meet the enemy and retreated into the city, but were soon captured by the Yuan general Li Heng, and captured more than 300 warships and more than 200 officials. Wang Daofu and Ling Zhen broke through and retreated to the East Garden. Guangzhou and Yashan were close at hand, and the imperial court not only lost the land perimeter barrier, but also the water and land were cut off by the Yuan army, which made the court panic again.
Wen Tianxiang, who was denied entry into the court, had no choice but to go to Chaoyang, and Zou Feng, Liu Zijun and others led the crowd to meet. Because the local thieves Chen Yi and Liu Xing were the victims, Wen Tianxiang attacked the two thieves first, killed Liu Xing, but missed the other bandit leader Chen Yi. Chen Yi was born as a pirate and immediately surrendered to Zhang Hongfan, the general of the Yuan army, who was leading the boat division into Chaozhou by sea. Familiar with the way, this bandit leader acted as a guide for the Yuan army and landed in Chaoyang. The Governor's army was outnumbered, and Wen Tianxiang was defeated and took Haifeng. Zhang Hongfan's younger brother Zhang Hongzheng led a fine cavalry and chased after him.
Wen Tianxiang led his troops to flee to Wupoling, Wen Tianxiang and his party were gasping for breath and wanted to eat, the Yuan soldiers saw the fireworks, and suddenly chased them, and the Song soldiers thought that it was the local farmers chasing the deer and did not warn, and they only found out that they were Yuan soldiers in front of them. Zhang Hongzheng's Yuan cavalry was so suddenly killed that it was caught off guard, and his troops did not have time to engage in battle, and most of them were killed. Wen Tianxiang fled in a hurry and was caught by Wang Weiyi, a thousand households of the Yuan army. In a hurry, he hurriedly took out the ice chips he had been carrying with him to commit suicide, but due to the loss of the drug effect after being stored for a long time, he failed to commit suicide and was not captured alive.
Wen Tianxiang's general Zou Feng was fierce, did not wait for the Yuan soldiers to get close, and killed himself with a sword, and the soldiers helped him to Nanling before he died, and the subordinate soldiers were able to escape from the empty pit. Liu Zijun was also captured by another Yuan army nearby, and he hurriedly shouted, claiming to be Wen Tianxiang, hoping to delay the army, hoping to give Wen Tianxiang a chance to escape again. As a result, the two Yuan armies arrested two "Wen Tianxiang", "met on the way, each fighting for authenticity", and both insisted that they were "Wen Tianxiang". General Yuan summoned a few Song army captives, asked and killed, and finally learned the true Wen Tianxiang they were going to capture.
Then, the Yuan army set up a cauldron in the local area and cooked Liu Zijun. The cooking was cruel, making people slowly suffer and die, Liu Zijun kept scolding and unyielding until death. By this time, Liu Zijun, Chen Longfu, Xiao Mingzhe, and Xiao Zi were all dead. Only Zhao Mengqin escaped, and Zhang Tang, Xiong Gui, Wu Xizao, and Chen Ziquan were all defeated and captured alive, and they were all executed. Wen Tianxiang was escorted to Chaoyang and saw Zhang Hongfan, because the power of the Song army had not yet been extinguished, Zhang Hongfan knew that Wen Tianxiang was still "useful", and ordered someone to detain him on the military ship......
Bad news came one after another, and the cliff mountain seemed to smell the breath of the coming battle, Zhang Shijie strictly ordered all ships to be forbidden to leave the port to prevent leakage of the line, of course, this also included Zhao Yu, which made the whale hunting game that lasted for many days have to stop, making him idle again. The sea can't get out, this day Zhao Yu led a group of guards to climb the highest cliff peak behind the palace, although the mountain is not high, standing on the top of the mountain, the natural scenery of the island is in full view. To the north, the fields are dry, the emerald green is dotted, the clouds are steaming, the southeast is overlooked, the Hanhai is endless, the blue is ten thousand acres, the fishing sails are dotted, and the clouds are far away; Looking closely, the white waves are layered, and the silver sand is like practice; Listen attentively, the forest sea is rustling, and the waves are bursting. But the whole island is in full view.
"Brother Huang, I hereby swear that I will defend my Zhao family and revive the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Yu ordered people to put incense on the table, burn incense and paper and pray silently. The mountain mausoleum of the Emperor Daxing was completed in the month before last, and the coffin was moved into the mausoleum, because the country was in danger, in order to prevent the Mongols from digging the tomb once they left, so as to adopt the form of secret burial, the four gates of the palace on the day of the spirit were carried out by the coffin and sent to the four directions, even Zhao Yu did not know where the imperial brother was buried, and now he could only stand on the top of this mountain and make an oath to the imperial brother......
