Chapter 244: Gao Yao is lost
In fact, Lin Xiao is no stranger to this area.
Before the crossing, the base of their troops was in the port of Zhanjiang.
There, there are many comrades-in-arms who are like his brothers and sisters, there are training buildings, dormitory areas, field training grounds that exude familiar smells, and warships that are quietly docked with military flags fluttering......
has lived and worked hard there for so many years, and Lin Xiao has also been to many places nearby for business and private reasons.
Of course, in the current time and space, all places, except for the familiar place names and roughly similar topography, the rest are completely Mo flowers and butterflies, and the rivers and mountains are still the same as in the past.
Yesterday, when the "Qinzhou" sailed through Zhanjiang Port, Lin Xiao also pulled Zhang Chenfeng and Duan Zhenghong, specially ran to the highest part of the stern, and looked at the shore with a telescope.
However, because the sky is not yet dawn, and it is dark outside the window, it is impossible to see what Zhanjiang Port looks like in time and space......
And Yashan is not too far from Zhanjiang, the old time and space, he has been here more than once, every time he comes here to pay homage to the historical relics, he will be sad, sighing.
Yashan is a sad place for all Chinese, especially the Han people.
Here, it was originally a small island on the shore near the mouth of the Xijiang River, but the vicissitudes of the sea, the Yashan that he visited in his later life, have long been connected with the mainland, and there is no longer the appearance of an island.
Here, hundreds of years ago, there was a naval battle that left a heavy mark in the history of Chinese civilization - the Battle of Yamen in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, which was the last decisive battle between the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia.
Here, it is the place where Lu Xiufu, a minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, jumped into the sea with the last little emperor on his back, and it is also the place where more than 100,000 Han soldiers and civilians would rather die than surrender and throw themselves into the sea to be martyred.
In the Battle of Yashan, from a tactical point of view, the military deployment of Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu and others was very layman, and they bore unshirkable responsibility for the final defeat of the campaign.
But the national integrity they showed in a desperate situation, and the courage to do what they knew they couldn't do, could not but be awe-inspiring.
It is these two people, one literate and one martial, who supported the last stage of the wandering small court of the Southern Song Dynasty after the defeat of Wen Tianxiang, and were the backbone and mainstay of hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers and civilians who followed here.
After this battle, the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed!
However, this battle was defeated so tragically and so vigorously!
In the face of the invasion and oppression of barbarian foreigners, the Chinese warriors resisted desperately and bravely sacrificed themselves for the survival, self-esteem and self-defense of the nation.
The spirit of Yashan is the spirit of the Chinese nation!
The spirit of Yashan, the righteousness of spring and autumn, inspires future generations!
Some people believe that this naval battle marked the fall of Chinese civilization in the classical sense, so there is a saying that "there is no China after Yashan".
The Chinese civilization has been passed down from generation to generation, and by the time of the Song Dynasty, it had led the world by a large margin, was rich in humanistic spirit, and had a very developed economy, culture, and science and technology......
Even in terms of the weakest military capabilities, after the Mongol iron cavalry swept the entire Eurasian continent, it supported itself for decades, and when it resisted the Mongol invasion in blood, he killed Meng Ge, the grandson of Genghis Khan and the brother of Kublai Khan, who was the Great Khan of Mongolia at the Diaoyu City in Sichuan.
The demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was the first time in Chinese history that the agrarian civilization was conquered by the relatively barbaric nomadic civilization in the north, marking the end of the classical era of China.
Since the Song Dynasty, the self-confident, open, tolerant, and resistant-minded Han nation has declined, and decades of anti-Yuan struggle have consumed the most elite people of the Han nation, and those who have blood, backbone, and courage have been wiped out on a large scale, and China, as a cultural system, has almost perished.
On the other hand, the backbone of the Chinese nation has been almost broken, and the Chinese spirit has almost become extinct.
The Han ethnic group, after suffering the heavy blow of the northern herding people, also began to become conservative, and in the following hundreds of years, in the face of foreign insults, most Han people became mentally numb and reluctant to survive.
After hundreds of years, the Han civilization never really cheered up, although a hundred years later, the Han people successfully restored the country, but the subsequent Ming Dynasty, or by the barbarian great influence, the development of civil society, the development of a new commercial economy, and the innovation of science and technology, are no longer able to talk about.
China has since lost its best opportunity for development, and its impact has been far-reaching until the 21st century, where Lin Xiao originally lived......
……
It's okay during the day anyway today, Lin Xiao plans to borrow a boat from Chen Qice, and go to Shangchuan Island to inspect the cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes first, and then go to Yashan to go around.
He wanted to see what was the difference between the current Yashan and later generations in terms of topography, and if he was lucky, he might be able to see the original appearance of the late Song Dynasty, and maybe he could find some relics that later generations did not have.
Unexpectedly, the world is unpredictable, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and the moth is coming.
Before he could pick up his job, Xia Bomin's angry voice sounded outside the door:
"Captain, that Wang Xing, ran away!"
"What? Who ran away? ”
Lin Xiao, whose face was full of astonishment, was suddenly stunned.
"No, it's not that I ran away, I said it...... said that he had sent troops overnight. Xia Bomin entered the door and said breathlessly.
"What's going on, speak slowly."
Lin Xiao put down his rice bowl, glared at him and said.
This kid is always like this, he was startled, scared people, and thought that Wang Xing had defected.
"It's just dawning, that...... Lord Lian came to me, saying that Wang Xing was too excited to see you during the day, so he rushed to Enping overnight, gathered his men and horses, and said that the soldiers were fast, and he wanted to make a great contribution, and he would be the first to kill Zhaoqing as a meeting gift......"
Xia Bomin frowned, his mouth was like a cannonball, and he quickly spewed out a string of words.
"Huh?"
Lin Xiao changed color when he heard this, frowned and said, "Then he ...... Even my lord, why did you say it until now? ”
"It is said that Wang Xing meant...... He wants to hide it from the adults all night, and he came to ask you to fight early this morning, which can be regarded as a back-up order,"
Xia Bomin smiled bitterly and said, "Even adults don't have a bottom in their hearts, so they don't dare to come to you directly, so they come to ask me to intercede." ”
"That's ......"
Lin Xiaoquan understood, "Is his main force already assembled in Enping?" ”
"Yes, when I passed through Enping, they had already recovered the three nearby counties, and his elite were all in Enping County, if they hadn't been looking for me to join the gang, maybe they would have attacked from all sides a long time ago,"
Xia Bomin said with a sad face, "Hey, these soldiers have always been used to being casual, you made an appointment with them yesterday for three chapters, emphasizing military discipline, but they ......"
"Alright...... Let's bring in Mr. Ren. ”
Lin Xiao raised his hand, glared at him, and interrupted him.
You kid, you look like you're babbling, but it's clear, aren't you here to intercede.
"Uh...... Be! ”
Xia Bomin scratched his head, smiled embarrassedly, turned around and stuck out his tongue at Zhang Chenfeng and Duan Zhenghong, and ran out of the door and called Lian Chengbi in.
"Lord Hou......"
Lian Chengbi, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, had a sad face as soon as he entered the door, and he didn't dare to say a word.
"Needless to say, Lord Lian."
Lin Xiao waved his hand and said lightly, "General Wang is also eager to fight, and he will not be held accountable before the training, but in the future, this kind of thing must not be tolerated." ”
"Yes, Lord Hou is magnanimous, and the lower official apologizes on behalf of Wang Xing."
"There is no joke in the army! Presumably, even adults know that an army without rules is a rabble, and sooner or later it will cause a big disaster. ”
"Yes, the lower official must tell him......"
"Wang Dong, take the map,"
The map was spread out, and Lin Xiao said in a deep voice, "For today's plan, the only way to do it is to remedy it quickly...... Head Xia, how many people did you bring with you to Shimokawa Island this time? ”
(Question: At the moment, which general is Qiongzhou in the hands of?) )
Thanks: "I can't think of ......" and "baby" tips! Thank you!
