Chapter Ninety-Six: The Human Heart Is in Danger

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The Marquis of Xin'an County, General Yunlu, and the front of the palace all commanded the envoy Du Yuhou, the Governor of Guangzhou, and the Longque Army to control Zhao Mengbei as the vanguard and seal official, crusading against injustice and eliminating the traitors, thinking that the second minister of the world admonished Yunyun ......"

At the end of June, in the south of the South China Sea, at the end of the world, the sky is clear, and the blue waves are vast. In front of the port of Xinzi, three tall warships and two transport ships raised their sails and were ready to go.

Groups of soldiers dressed in the red military uniforms of the Great Song Dynasty and wearing fanyang hats on their heads, as well as servants driving mules and horses, and craftsmen carrying bags on their backs, are boarding the ships under the command of the escort officers and flag heads of each team.

The shore was full of old battalion military dependents and Yacheng people who saw them off, including blond-haired and blue-eyed people and black, thin and short Cham people. Looking at the nearly half of the Great Song soldiers in front of him, with swords, shields, and spears and axes, he always felt that something was missing while praising him...... Yes, there is a lack of bows and arrows!

Without bows and arrows, what kind of battle is this vanguard army fighting?

The people of Yacheng shook their heads secretly, and at this time, people with active news told each other that this was the dragon bird army that attacked the military city at night and captured the Ma father and son. Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder it was so elite. Some people also wondered, shouldn't the bows and crossbows and arrows be placed on the boat? This must be the case, and ordinary people who no longer know how to fight also know the truth that when two armies fight, arrows strike first. The Dragon Sparrow Army is so elite and a vanguard army, and the long-range attack weapons on the ship are afraid that they will not pile up?

Only the officials of the Great Song Dynasty who knew knew knew that this army really had no bows and crossbows and arrows, and it was not so much a vanguard army as a death squad.

Captain Death...... Well, Zhao Lie, the supreme commander of the Dragon Sparrow Army, has been promoted again. Well, as the first contribution to the capture of Jiyang Military City, the promotion is naturally reasonable. Jue has not changed, he is still the Marquis of Xin'an County, the sanitation officer has been promoted from the general of Zhengsi Pinding Yuan to the general of Sanpin Yunlu, and the military position has been promoted from the commander of the palace to the commander of the envoy Sima to the marquis of the palace Sidu. The position has been promoted, the military rank has changed, and the only thing that remains unchanged is also a false position, and the really useful thing is the dispatch - the dragon bird army is under control.

Theoretically, the capital control system of the Great Song Dynasty is equivalent to the commander of the front army, which can control several armies, and according to the calculation of 2,500 to 5,000 people per army, Zhao Lie's capital system can command tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of horses. However, theory is only theory after all, and the reality is that he only controls one army, and there are only more than 200 soldiers under his command, even if the Song army system does not include the fire people (servants, doctors, and craftsmen), there are only more than 300 people, less than one battalion. The gap is so big that it is speechless.

This is not surprising, at the end of the dynasty, the turmoil, the officials were frighteningly large, and the soldiers were pitiful, which was also the norm.

In this battle, Zhao Lie took away most of the generals, soldiers and all the belongings of his Dragon Bird Army, and also invited Guo Chenggui, the young superintendent of military weapons, and Baigong to accompany him, and the five ships were stuffed to the brim.

At this moment, Zhao Lie led a group of subordinate generals to say goodbye to Yang Liangjie and his son, the representative of the military attachΓ© Su Liuyi and his son, and Ma Nanchun, who came to see him off.

Ma Nanchun served as the judge of the Ship Division of Yacheng City, and also served as the Sima of the Dragon Bird Army, shouldering the important task of communicating with the generals of the Xing Dynasty, and he had to stay in Yacheng and could not follow the army.

Su Liuyi repeatedly told Zhao Lie to be cautious and not to take risks lightly. If the enemy has a gap, he can try to attack, if things are not harmonious, he must not be reckless, just collect the enemy information of Wan'an, and send a letter ship to send it back to the DPRK. And repeatedly promised that at the latest, it would not be more than ten days at the latest, and when the army was reorganized, it would go north to join forces and attack the Yuan captives together.

Zhao Lie has his own plans in his heart, and on the surface he only thanks.

Yang Liangjie brought the Empress Dowager's message to Dundun: "Meng Bei is here, and he should take pity as the first priority." The heir of King Xiu is a king, and he should no longer follow the affairs of Jiyang Military City. Be sure to. ”

Zhao Lie gratefully bowed to the location of the Yacheng Grass Palace.

Yang Liangjie was even more in charge of Zhao Hunting, full of enthusiasm, and said a polite and enthusiastic send-off speech.

At three o'clock, all the soldiers, supplies, and cattle were loaded onto the ship, and the five ships sounded the horn of leaving the port together. Zhao Lie said goodbye to everyone, and led his subordinates to board the warship last.

Yang Liangjie stroked his beard and squinted, looking at Zhao Lie's distant figure, with an unpredictable smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yang Qizhi, the secretary of the eldest son, also chuckled: "This Zhao Lizhi is really brave and unwise, Ah Weng used a little trick and sent it out of Yacheng." When our army goes north to attack the horse rebellion, if this battle is won, it will be stationed in Wan'an, and there will be no return without a purpose; If defeated, the Dragon Sparrow Army will lose its troops and generals, and even if it returns, it will no longer be strong. What a clever plan, hehe. ”

The young son Yang Xingyong said: "If Zhao Liyu goes to Wan'an, but he does not move, just waiting for the army, what is good?" ”

Yang Liangjie said lightly: "You don't know Zhang Gongbi's temperament, you don't know, you want to steal your life to avoid war, and you should do errands, once you find out afterwards...... Hehe, Zhang Gongbi and Jiang Daozhai have a lot of disagreements, and the defeat of Yishan is even more caused by its disregard for Jiang Daozhai's words. Now that he sees that Jiang Shiyi, he is even more shameless, he has long wanted to let him go, if he grabs the handle, how can he be spared? In this way, the head generals Zhao and Jiang were cut down and removed from their posts and their military talismans were seized. How is the result different from defeat? ”

Yang Xingyong stroked his palms and praised: "Ah Weng is a good means, Zhao Liyu boarded the ship this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return." ”

Yang Qizhi seemed to think of something when he heard this, glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "Ah Weng wants to borrow the hand of the horse to caress the machine......"

Yang Liangjie shook his head: "Definitely." Zhao Mengbei has repeatedly made military exploits, all thanks to the help of the Jiang family, this time as a vanguard, against the Shangyuan soldiers, the enemy is outnumbered, and he will be hit hard. In this way, its momentum will be weakened, and it will not be difficult to fall. Of course, if he dies...... Hehe, that's not to say. ”

Yang Qizhi looked at Zhao Lieng standing in the bow of the ship, smiling, and bowing his hand from afar, and sighed: "Counting the dynasty, there can be today, and there is also this Zhao Li's work, but it's a pity that it is ......" At this moment, Yang Qizhi thought of the same as Chen Yizhong's uncle and nephew - if Zhao Lizhi was just a young boy, things would be easy to do.

Yang Xingyong was unimpressed: "This is his Zhao family, and it is his duty to do his best." If you take advantage of this to be proud, you will covet the great treasure......"

Yang Liangjie flicked his sleeves: "He also wants to enter the main vertical arch hall!" Hmph, when Su Fuhan returns from Zhao Dan, the son of that sect, and see if he can still laugh? ”

The kingdom cannot be without a king for a day, and at this time the throne of the dynasty has been vacant for nearly four months, which is inconceivable in any dynasty. If it weren't for the fact that the boat had been wavering and capsized at any time, and he really couldn't take care of this stubble, the generals and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty would have quarreled all the time. Now that we have gotten rid of the big difficulties and are based on a firm and stable foothold, the matter of establishing a reserve has become a top priority.

No empress dowager and her relatives with real power will set up a crown prince who is difficult to control. What kind of crown prince is best controlled? Of course it's the emperor! This Fujian-Guangzhou area was originally the base camp of the Nandu clan, and there were as many clan children of all ages as there were. But the old Zhao family made a fatal mistake and put all their eggs in one basket - almost all the clans were concentrated in Quanzhou. However, among the powerful people who guarded Quanzhou, there was another famous traitor in the late Song Dynasty - Pu Shougeng, the envoy of Quanzhou Tiju City.

It was this fang, with the head of all the clans in Quanzhou, that made a vote to Meng Yuan. As a result, the various branches of the kings of the Zhao and Song dynasties in Nandu, who were originally prosperous, were all extinct. At present, it is more difficult to find a clan of the right age from this area than a giant panda. When Su Liuyi and Ma Nanbao reported that there was still a child in the family, Zhao Dan, who met the conditions, it immediately attracted great attention from the internal and external dynasties. After the ministers discussed, they played the Empress Dowager Yang and asked the Empress Dowager to allow Su Liu Yi to return to his hometown to recruit heroes, and then secretly brought this son back for detailed investigation and then decided.

It is related to the fortunes of the society and the country, what else can Empress Dowager Yang say? can only weep and acquiesce.

After all, Zhao Lie has not completely dissolved into this era, and he doesn't have this string in his mind at all. If you know that Yang Liangjie actually sees him as a huge threat and clears the way for the soon-to-be-enthroned crown prince, I am afraid that I will be stunned, and I can only say: "There is a sentence MMB, I don't know if I should say it or not." ”

When the five ships left the port amid the cheers of the soldiers and civilians along the coast, Zhao Lie turned around and led a group of cadres down to the bottom cabin, came to a pile of goods covered with thick tarpaulin, bent down and pinched the corner of the tarpaulin, and violently lifted it - bundles of five black and shiny flintlock pistols with the unique smell of grease and wood appeared in front of him.

Zhao Lie patted the dirt off his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, the play is over." Now, distribute the weapons to all the soldiers. ”
