Chapter 644: Defending Jingzhou
After the Jurchens established their state, they ruled as small tribes and ruled over the subjects of many other peoples who were much larger than them.
So they had a set of laws that strictly controlled the Jurchens and other peoples in the Jin country.
Hong Tianming was tied to a wooden stake, and several Jurchen Tartars grinned cruelly, poured some fuel on it, and lit a fire.
Several young descendants, desperately trying to come forward to save each other, were cut down at will by the Jurchen Tartars. At this time, Longshan was full of the main elite of the Jurchens, and soon they would pour into Youyan from the Longshan Valley and the Luanhe River.
Jingzhou bore the brunt of the attack, and the soldiers and horses in the city were mobilized back and forth, reinforcing several nearby forts, which were horns for each other.
The morale of the Song army today is not what it used to be, and of course it will not abandon the surrounding fortresses without a fight.
Xie Yuan was ready to fight the Jurchens outside the city, and at this time, Han Shizhong led the army and rushed to help, and the people's hearts were more stable.
The defenders on the city tower hurriedly lowered the drawbridge, Han Shizhong turned around and said: "Quduan, you take the headquarters to garrison the North Castle Village, Wei Xian, you take people to garrison the East Village, and the others follow me into the city!" ”
A group of soldiers were murderous, entered Jingzhou City, twisted their bracers, Han Shizhong glanced at it, and was very satisfied with the layout in the city.
Youyan has been preparing for this big battle, so in places like Jingzhou, it is simply a complete military town.
There were not many people in the city, and once a war broke out, the old and weak, women and children would be transferred first. In Jizhou and other places in the rear, there are special resettlement centers that are responsible for accepting and relocating these people.
Especially in the area of Danzhou, because the battle line is long, Han Shizhong implemented it very thoroughly.
This is also because he saw the Jurchens' way of fighting during the First Youyan War.
Unlike in the past, when fighting with foreign races such as the Khitan and Western Xia, the Jurchens do not fight against you, but will face off against the generals. They like to drive vassals and raw mouths to wear down the enemy on the opposite side, and then use the brutal situation to suppress the opponent's morale.
If they really let them drive a group of their own compatriots, even if these Song soldiers knew that they wanted strong men to break their wrists, they would inevitably have different thoughts.
Han Shizhong climbed the city tower, looked at the refugees who continued to flee south in the Longshan area, and said in a deep voice: "The Jurchen Tartars are the most ferocious and unscrupulous group of aliens throughout the ages. If I win this battle, I must talk to Shaozai and cut the grass and eradicate the roots! If they are not completely destroyed, their descendants will be resurrected in the future, and disaster will be born. ”
The surrounding generals nodded their heads one after another, and at this time Xie Yuan came over, clenched his fists slightly, and said: "Han Shuai, just now, the general went to arrange the stone-throwing camp in the south of the city, but he didn't have time to greet him." ”
Han Shizhong nodded and said, "Old Solution, in the area of Longshan, there are many powerful people in Yandi, these people have their own system, and they have always been under our command. At the beginning, in order to quickly recover Youyan, Shaozai promised them some benefits, but now that the Jurchens have broken Longshan, these people may not be of the same mind as us, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of gold reduction. So the most important thing is to be careful of these men, who act as Jurchen spies. ”
"Speaking of which, we are careless, since the Jin people have broken the capital of Liao State and occupied the territory of Da Liao, they naturally also got the topography map of Youyan. When this place fell into the hands of the Liao people for 100 years, the map must have been drawn very clearly. ”
"Who the hell would have thought that there is a path in this Dragon Mountain, and on the cliffs, the Jurchen Tartars really dare to walk."
Xie Yuan gritted his teeth and smiled, and said: "I heard a Liao man in the army say that these Jurchen Tartars, when the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, hunt tigers and deer in the snow nest, walk on steep mountain walls, and walk on flat ground. ”
Behind Han Shizhong, a bearded soldier disagreed: "How can it be so mysterious, it's just a risky move, and it succeeds by luck, to put it bluntly, he doesn't take his life seriously." These people are really ruthless, not only do they regard other people's lives as if they were a mustard, but they also don't care about their own lives. ”
Han Shizhong smiled and said, "How can anyone not care about their own lives, these thieves and birds, splashing tartars, are just giving birth to a pigskin, and they don't know the pain." ”
The refugees outside the city were still moving south, and Han Shizhong muttered, "Do you want to send someone to escort them?" ”
Xie Yuan shook his head and said, "These are all Yan people who have lived here for generations, and they are more familiar with the road than us. ”
Han Shizhong thought that it made sense, so he stopped talking.
In the area of Yanshan, Hong Tianding stopped continuing to flee, he gathered everyone together, and said in a loud voice: "Fathers and elders, when you arrive at Yanshan, there are officers and soldiers blocking you, and the Jurchen Tartars should not be able to catch up." We have the most people in Hongjiazhai, and there is also some food given by the Jingzhou defenders, so you can take it and continue to go south. The descendants of Hongjiazhai left a few to accompany me here, waiting for the news of the eldest brother. ”
He didn't know that Hong Tianming had been burned to death at this time, and hoped to wait here, and a middle-aged man around him whispered: "Erlang, if the future generations stay here, I'm afraid that the people in our village won't be able to get the food they deserve on the road." ”
Hong Tianding nodded and said, "Fourth Uncle, you take a hundred and ten people and continue to walk with them." I can leave ten people here, otherwise there will be too many people left, one is not enough to eat, and the other is easy to expose. ”
The middle-aged man didn't talk nonsense, took the people in the village, and continued to push the food on the road.
Everyone else wished they had fled to Jizhou as soon as possible, and only a few Yandi head snakes came to say goodbye to him.
The group lurked in the mountains, and Hong Tianding instructed his subordinates to mark Hongjiazhai.
"As long as the eldest brother escapes, he will go to Yanshan, mark us everywhere at the intersection, and then scatter to observe, and come here to find me if there is something."
The nine people hugged their fists and quickly disappeared into the jungle, these Yandi Han'er knew the most about Yanshan Hushui.

Fuzhou Mansion, Yang Lin looked at Zhang Boyu who came to meet him with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's hard for you to rest assured, leave Jiaozhi to see me." ”
Zhang Boyu smiled and said: "With our Great Song Dynasty's Tiger Ben division guarding it, Jiaozhi can be said to be Haiyan River Qing, what is there to worry about." ”
Yang Lin has been busy dealing with the Lingnan New Deal in the past few days, and the situation here is much more complicated than the provinces he has passed.
The Great Song Dynasty has always regarded Lingnan as a remote place on the border and did not attach importance to it at all.
As a result, a large number of landlord snakes have bred here, completely controlling the land and wealth, and the abolition of forced labor can be said to have directly touched their fundamental interests.
Lingnan officials, many of whom have been corrupted, have become watchdogs and marionettes for these people.
Yang Lin has been tired for so many days, and he has already found out some eyebrows, and he is tired, Zhang Boyu actually came from Jiaozhi.
Yang Lin only felt funny in his heart, this guy was afraid that he would unload the mill and kill the donkey, in fact, this person was still useful, and Yang Lin didn't plan to do anything to him in the end.
Just as he was about to say a few words, a guard came in and said in a low voice: "Shaozai, there is information from the north, saying that the Jurchens have increased their troops on a large scale, and there seems to be a big move. ”
Yang Lin frowned and asked, "What did Han Shizhong say?" ”
At this time, the second batch of messengers had not yet arrived, and when these people came, Aguta had not yet officially recruited in person.
The guard shook his head and said, "Han Shuai said that the Jin people have a great possibility and want to march south. However, he also said that let Shaozai rest assured that the Great Wall Corps would never let the Jin soldiers succeed in going south. ”
Yang Lin closed his eyes, thought about it carefully, and said after a while: "As soon as there is news, report it immediately." ”
