Chapter 270: Showing Fangs
Yu Yunwen led the army by sea and broke directly into Hangzhou Bay, intending to divide Fang La's Yongle Dynasty into two, and the news quickly spread throughout the north and south of the river.
Da Zhou has not been peaceful in recent years, and it is not only Fang La who has made a great reputation.
Song Jiang, Wang Qing and Tian Hu, together with Fang La, are known as the "Four Great Kou" of the Great Zhou.
Song Jiang occupies 800 miles of Shuibo Liangshan, and there are nearly 100 leaders under him, and there is no shortage of people with various specialties. It is said that there are several literate leaders on Liangshan, and they began to rank the big and small leaders by Tiangangdi, and there is a tendency to gather one hundred and eight generals.
Wang Qing rebelled in Huaixi and once captured eight states. After Fang La's army eroded the two roads south of the Yangtze River, it attracted most of the attention of the court, and Wang Qing's power took the opportunity to develop to its peak, occupying eighty-six counties at most.
Tian Hu, known as the king of Hebei, was originally a hunter with outstanding arm strength and skilled martial arts, and he was good at making friends with heroes in the green forest. In recent years, disasters have occurred frequently in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the small people in some places have lived particularly miserably, Tian Hu first pulled up people and horses to be big thieves, and then quickly swelled to the point of invading the prefectures and counties, and now occupies the land of five states.
Yu Yunwen took the sea route and hit Fang Lajun's navel directly. Liang Shanbo Song Jiang, Huaixi Wang Qing, and Hebei Tianhu were shocked and confused, and watched the trend of the war situation in Jiangnan more nervously, thinking about the impact of the rise and fall of the Yongle Dynasty on themselves.
Deep in the mountains of Luliang, Zhao Scarzi, who was already famous throughout Hedong Road, suddenly received a secret letter from Hao Juren and learned the latest news from Jiangnan.
Mining and smuggling, Zhao Scarzi is very concerned about Zhao'an.
Now that he knew that Da Zhou had the ability to ship tens of thousands of troops to another place, Zhao Scar was so shocked that he swallowed his saliva, and his heart towards Zhao'an was even hotter.
Lu Liang Zhao, who was still a giant bandit, was just shocked, and Ye Luming and Xiao Zhen, who were busy to death in Youzhou City, were a little shocked.
The Khitan Liao State was facing life and death, and it was inconvenient for Yeluming to directly claim the emperor, so he established himself as the "King of Yan" and controlled the entire Youyun region.
Xiao Zhen is in good health, but he has lost the possibility of fighting forever. There is a good saying, there is no endless road, and Xiao Zhen is also very talented in battle formation strategy.
"There is such a method of warfare in the world, it is simply a divine soldier descending from heaven, and it is incredible." Xiao Zhen's tone was no longer steady, and he said with a complicated expression.
Ye Luming, who was dressed in a gorgeous royal robe, looked at the southeast in a cold sweat, "Xiao Zhen, have you ever thought that if it was a few decades ago, the Great Zhou gathered warships from all over the country and transported 100,000 troops to Jinkou?" ”
"The king doesn't have to worry, the cavalry of the Great Zhou is weak, even if he makes a move to the sea army of my Liao country, it will only deliver food!" Xiao Zhen knew what Ye Luming was worried about, and comforted him, although he was also worried in his heart.
After all, the Liao State has accumulated more than 200 years and has been learning from the Han people, especially after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Although the horror is inexplicable, the Khitan high-level can finally understand the huge difference between sea and land routes, and know the magic and ferocity of the sea.
But for the Jurchens, who had not long come out of the old woods and defeated the masters of the Liao State with maces, hammers and axes, the fleet and the sea were too unfamiliar.
Out of faint vigilance, the Jurchen nobles began to pay attention to the Great Zhou a few months ago, and attached great importance to important news about the Great Zhou.
Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zonghan, who were closely watching Aguta's health status in Dading Mansion, saw the latest information about the great war that happened in the legendary heaven, that is, the Great Zhou Jiangnan, and thought: What is the sea? What is a fleet? Is it that powerful?
The Jurchen nobles of Dading Mansion, few of them thought deeply about the significance of Yu Yunwen's cross-sea attack, and only thought that the fleet was similar to the horses, and they had more important things to do: keep an eye on Ah Guda and pay attention to the chair.
Wanyan Xiyin was in Zhangjiakou as a town, and while suppressing the epidemic, he was also responsible for handling some of the remaining affairs of the previous conquest of Liao. As for the deployment of troops and horses, to further put pressure on the Liao State, Wanyan Xiyin cannot interfere.
After receiving more detailed information about the landing of the Great Zhou Army on the Qiantang River, Wanyan Xiyin's mind buzzed, knowing that he had a new mission.
A few decades ago, Aguta hired or coerced some scholars to teach the children of the Jurchen aristocracy to read.
When the Jin State was established, although the Jurchens still gave people a sense of barbarism and blood, there were also some people of insight.
Even if he did not receive instructions from other Jurchen scholars, Wanyan Xiyin would investigate in detail the fleet, the sea, and water transportation, as well as the deep meanings behind these terms.
It is not without reason that the Han people have survived tenaciously for thousands of years, and the Great Zhou has become a prosperous and wealthy kingdom of the Celestial Empire. The emerging Jurchen intellectual class, represented by Wanyan Xiyin, did not dare to underestimate Da Zhou's achievements and accumulation in any field, especially the construction technology and exquisite equipment.
Sent a few Liao officials and Han officials to collect relevant books, Wan Yan Xiyin pinched his eyebrows, sorted out his black and beautiful short beard, and clenched his fists to look at the night in the south: The Great Zhou is unfathomable, for the sake of the Jurchen clan, I must go to Bianjing!
Faced with a sudden change in the way of warfare, there are more confused than the Jurchens.
The Jurchens had been running in the Changbai Mountains for many years, and if they walked to the east, they could see the sea, and from time to time they would drive boats to Sakhalin Island to hunt.
Dali country does not have a foot of coastline.
Duan Lintian led a delegation of hundreds of people, traveled all the way, passed through Qianzhou, Yuanzhou, Chenzhou, Dingzhou, and Yuezhou, and finally arrived at Jingzhou City, which was prosperous in commerce and trade.
It was very difficult to go out these years, Duan Lintian's body couldn't support it, and many businessmen from Dali asked Her Royal Highness the princess to support the scene, so Lu Yiming persuaded Duan Lintian to stay longer.
Duan Lintian's cheeks became even thinner, his original round face was completely gone, his two dimples disappeared, and his lips were chapped and white. She took a sip of the medicine, laughed, squinted her lovely eyes and said:
"Stay in Jingzhou for a little longer, do you really not delay things?"
Emotionally, Lu Yiming has long regarded the kind and lovely Duan Lintian as his granddaughter, and at this moment, he is very distressed when he looks at Duan Lintian's haggard appearance, and he is categorical:
"No problem at all. The governor of Jingzhou said in his own mouth that it is important for His Royal Highness to raise his spirit, and Bianjing attaches great importance to my Dali country's subordinate this time, and some requests should be fine. ”
Duan Lintian nodded lightly, raised his little head, and a few beads shook for a while, "Our merchants in Dali Kingdom are crying in the letter about being harassed, blackmailed, and robbed. I wanted to help them, but I didn't know how. ”
Thinking of the difficulty of the merchants of Dali Kingdom in Dazhou now, Lu Yiming sighed and said:
"My Dali country had a big war with the Great Zhou last year, and now there is a risk of falling into secession in the country, and businessmen who go out are looked down upon and bullied, which is normal."
"His Royal Highness's frequent appearances in Jingzhou City are not a solution, it will only make the people of Dazhou despise the people of Dali even more. His Royal Highness is still resting, and those merchants can be handed over to the ministers to deal with, and the ministers are still somewhat famous in the Great Zhou. ”
"Your Royal Highness will take care of your body, and after arriving in Bianjing, you will contribute to the repair of the two countries of Dali and Dali, so that you can solve the problem of the merchants of Dali in one fell swoop."
Thinking of Lu Yiming's reputation in Da Zhou when he was young, Duan Lintian nodded with a smile and accepted Lu Yiming's arrangement.
Duan Lintian supported his little head with his fair right hand, and a meatball finally appeared on his face, "Prime Minister don't call himself a minister, just call me good, otherwise it will be too foreign." ”
"What the prime minister said is true, I don't know anything about the way of business, and I can't help much, I'm just in a hurry."
"The prime minister also found out, Dazhou is so prosperous, so beautiful, the rivers are so wide and quiet, and the towns are so clean. Yuezhou is as prosperous as Dali City, and Jingzhou is far beyond Dali City, so I don't know how beautiful Bianjing should be. ”
Lu Yiming responded gratefully, and asked with a twinkle in his eyes: "Has Your Highness ever thought that you have been living in a prosperous and beautiful place without thinking about all the bad things?" ”
"Of course I do, that's great. It is better to have a large manor and then a medicine garden, to see the flowers in the spring, the fallen leaves in the fall, and the snow in the winter...... I haven't seen snow yet, and I wonder if it's as beautiful as it says in the books. Duan Lin Tian pouted and looked at the simple carved roof, his eyes were shining, and he was completely a little girl's longing for beauty.
Duan Lintian turned his head and looked at Lu Yiming, who was drinking tea with his head down, "Yu Yunwen, who participated in the defeat of my Dali army, didn't he just take a sea trip with tens of thousands of horses, why are the people of the Great Zhou so impressed?" ”
Lu Yiming also looks at the sea by thinking, but after all, he is a rare and extremely intelligent person in the world, closed his eyes and recalled the giant fleet he had seen on the Yangtze River for a while, as well as the terrible scene of the fleet running on the boundless sea, his body trembled a few times and said:
"Probably power, Your Highness."
"The fleet and the sea are the new forces unique to Da Zhou."
"The people of the Great Zhou don't know where this power is. I can't see the whole picture clearly, and I don't know what the plans of the few Zaizhi in Bianjing are......"
In the territory of the Great Zhou, as well as the countries, tribes or communities bordering the Great Zhou, many people are waiting for the next move of the Great Zhou, waiting for the moment when the powerful Great Zhou will completely show its fangs.
Fang La repeatedly broke the siege of the Great Zhou army, but Bianjing did not move for a long time, which was too abnormal.
