Chapter 3281 Frontal Conflict

Genyehei has now recovered his identity in Japan, and the Japanese court and the Kwantung Samurai Order are very proud of this person to be an official in the Great Song Dynasty, so although the Japanese court appointed a higher official title to Genyeping, the Japanese people are still proud of Genyeping's "Celestial Nine-Rank Tui Official", they don't like to say Genyeping's Japanese official name, and stubbornly call him "Gentui Guan".

This time, Yuan Yeping brought a group of small boats, and these small boats were so large that they could not dock at the simple wharf of Shunbao Village. The matter was urgent, and Yuan Yeping had no choice but to board the north bank in a single boat and come over to receive Zhao Xing's instructions, while the other boats stopped in the middle of the river and waited for the next order.

Yuan Yeping saw a group of court ministers, both eyes were full of stars, he followed the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty officialdom, and saw all the officials present with the courtesy of the lower officials, with a flattering smile on his face, and in a moment, he forgot about the business. Jiang Xin Xiaozhou had no choice but to watch the source magistrate fart and chat with people on the shore.

On this occasion, it was inconvenient for Zhao Xing to pull him aside for a secret talk, so he had to ask publicly: "Yuan Tuiguan, how many people have you brought?" ”

Yuan Yeping's expression was aggrieved: "My lord, my subordinates are all archers and spearmen, but there are no firecrackers. Now there are 3,000 people on my ship, including 300 samurai, and 500 soldiers brought by the Xiao brothers, all of whom are spears and broadswords as weapons. ”

The people present did not know that Yuan Yeping had been staying on Tamna Island and helping Zhao Xing run the Tamna Island Horse Farm, and occasionally Zhao Xing summoned him to the Song mainland. At that time, the affairs of Tamna Island were in the hands of the Shaw brothers. The population captured by Zhao Xing from the Liao State, among which the horse herders were all hidden in Tamna Island. This time, Zhao Xing's lack of troops showed Zhao Xing's long-term plan to manage Tamna Island: it only took three or five days to transfer troops from Tamna Island into the mouth of the Yellow River, and an army of thousands of people arrived, which was faster than transferring troops from the capital.

Tamna Island is far beyond Zhao Xing's eyelids, Zhao Xing can only control it remotely, and his small island is close to the powerful neighbors in the north: the Jurchens and the Liao. In order to prevent the leakage of advanced weapons, Zhao Xing equipped them with weapons that were more focused on cold weapons. Yuan Yeping shouted that he hadn't gotten a firearm for a few years, and now that he was finally about to fight, he could be regarded as finding an opportunity to complain.

But Zhao Xing's will was unshakable, so he ignored Yuan Yeping's complaints, and ordered: "Transfer one hundred warriors belonging to the samurai regiment to come over---- now I don't even have a herald around me, you give me some manpower first." For the rest, you take all of them with you to the North Shore. The Commander is fighting on the North Shore, and your mission is to bring them back safely. ”

Yuan Yeping rolled up his sleeves excitedly, but his answer inadvertently revealed the details of Tamna Island: "I have trained as a Tamna warrior for seven or eight years, and this time I invite the Nagato Hall to see the martial arts of our Tamna warriors." But don't worry, my lord, I have already had the heart to understand the strongest cavalry in the Central Plains, this time, let's have a peak duel. ”

Yuan Yeping said that, turned around and ran to the river. After he left, everyone in the venue twisted their eyebrows and thought about what Yuan Yeping had inadvertently leaked, but Zhao Xing muttered to Yuan Yeping's back: "Peak showdown." The pinnacle of the Great Song Dynasty could not be represented by the Japanese people, and this battle also relied on firearms as the king. ”

Long. Under everyone's frequent hints. Zhang Dunli twisted his body. Carefully, he asked, "These." Are these soldiers all adults and landowners? ”

Zhao Xing smacked his lips. Slightly regretful, "yes." That's a little bit more! ”

It's just a little bit more. It's just ......

Seeing Zhao Xing, he avoided the important and light. Chen couldn't help it. Asked: "Lord Zhao." How do you also have a manor in a foreign land? These people are your family in the vassal country? ”

Zhao Xing glanced at Zhang Dunli. decided to drag Zhang's door into the water: "Yes! When I was in Michigan. teamed up with Zhang Tuanlian to loot some war horses in the Liao Kingdom. By the way, some Wranglers were captured. But there are many people in Michigan and there is little land. There is no place to raise horses. I consulted with the Goryeo Land Park Gong. Purchased an island near Goryeo. Specializing in horse breeding. After Yuan Tuiguan stepped down. Just help me run that Muma Island. This time the tribute envoy was escorted. Because it is necessary to sail close to the waters of Liao. I'm worried about an accident. So let them be on guard at the mouth of the Yellow River...... If it is not an emergency. I'm not going to let them into the estuary yet. ”

Zhang Dunli stared at Cao Yu. Cao Yu understood the meaning of this look---- the soldiers and horses of Tamna Island entered the Yellow River as they pleased. This also means that the Great Song Dynasty coastal defense is useless. Fortunately, the Liao's ability to navigate was limited. If the Liao people have strong seafaring ability. Along this flowing Beishui River, all the way to Bianliang. Da Song is in danger.

However, this is a problem that Cao Yu could not solve, the original Liubei Water River also had a naval army, used to guard against the Liao, but the Yellow River had to be frozen in winter, and the ships could not be launched, and the Liubei Water River was cut off a few years ago, and the ships could not be used at all, which caused the Yellow River defense line of the Great Song Dynasty to have a river without defense.

How to compensate for this phenomenon?

Could it be that the Yellow River freezes in winter, and everyone has to carry a huge boat like Zhao Xing's boat ashore, wait until the beginning of spring, and then carry it into the river?

Not at all.

And the boat is simply defenseless in the face of such a huge ship, and if this kind of huge ship is to be crushed, the boat will be as fragile as a walnut under a hammer.

Not to mention the giant boats, even the four medium-sized boats that Zhao Xing casually abandoned on the north bank were not something that the Yellow River sailors could resist.

Therefore, in the face of the powerful water army, the Yellow River defense line of the Great Song Dynasty was like a sieve, and Cao Yu thought of presiding over the affairs of the Daimyo's Mansion in the future, but he only felt that the burden was too heavy for him to bear.

After Yuan Yeping Xiaozhou went ashore, Xing roared a few voices in Jiangxin, and a group of soldiers began to take off their coats, naked, and chanted the Qin song "Under the whole world" loudly. With their clothes and parcels on their heads, they waded to the opposite shore. The soldiers in the makeshift camp on the other side lit a fire and waited for them to land.

Soon the soldiers ran naked to the fire, poured a few sips of spirits, dried themselves and got dressed. He obtained clean armor and weapons from the temporary camp, equipped them neatly, and then sang songs all the way, and happily rushed out of the camp, heading north, to the depths of the Liao continent.

At the same time, some of the ships of the riverine fleet also landed on the south bank, and a Japanese warrior in the lead area also wore a belt on his head, on which were written in red font and two Chinese characters crookedly: "Victory". After a little rectification on the shore, they rushed to Baozhai......

Chen squinted his eyes at the group of soldiers, and said with appreciation: "I often hear that Japan prides itself on being Little China, and these people's costumes are very similar to those of the Tang Dynasty. The clogs and skirts are ----, and they are even on the right side. ”

The so-called "right guard" is the five Hu chaos era, the Chinese distinguish between the Han nationality and the Hu people's clothing characteristics, the Han nationality wears a skirt and puts the right placket on it, called "right guard". The Hu people put the left placket of their clothes on the outside, which is called "Zuo Ji".

In the Tang Dynasty, the Central Dynasty inherited the characteristics of the "Right Guard", and so did the Song people. Since the Song Dynasty, the left placket has become the mainstream. The shirts worn by modern men are all left-handed, and only women have a few right-hand shirts--- this is because the Manchu Qing Dynasty implemented the strategy of "men descend to women", allowing women to wear clothes while still maintaining the Han national tradition.

In the Song Dynasty, except for the Song court, Japan was the only country in the whole of Asia that remained on the right side. Goryeo and Jiaozhi were only after the death of the Song Dynasty that they thought that the Chinese Taoist system was there, and they began to "right" the land.

Chen was very curious when he saw the Japanese people. sighed with emotion, and hurriedly asked: "Lord Zhao, you said that among these people, there are wranglers from Liaoguo, are the Han people from Liaoguo also on the right?" ”

This question is exactly what Zhao Xing wants to know, and he replied unhurriedly: "I heard a poem from a maritime merchant that was written by a Liao person, and the author doesn't know whom. The poem says: Yu Ting opened a prosperous track, and the king met Qichen. Everywhere is the will of heaven, and they all hold the heliocentric heart together. Article Tong Ligu. Vocal teaching Bo Jilin. Daewoo looks at Jiaotai, and should know that there are no ancients. ”

Zhao Xing took a breath, and then added: "The Khitan Han Confucianism thinks that they are the Central Plains Daoist Zhengshuo in the prosperous orbit of the Yu Ting, and it is said that the readers there all think that the Khitan is the mainstream of the Central Plains culture, and the Great Song Dynasty is a vassal state and a vassal state that bows down to the vassals. Of course, my Great Song Dynasty is also paying tribute to the Liao State every year. Although we call it the year of gift, but the Liao people call it the year of tribute--- this phenomenon has intensified the pride of the Liao people.

The Khitans believe that their state was established in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Since the establishment of their country. The two Jin Dynasty perished, the Tang Dynasty fell, and the Song Dynasty paid tribute to them, so the Han people there were proud of their country's heritage for more than 700 years, and considered themselves to be well-deserved overlords of the Central Plains. However, the Han people there are no longer accustomed to being right-handed. On this point, I have heard that many Song ministers have discovered it when they went to Liao, and wrote poems and notes as a record---- such as Su Sanzhang (Su Zhe) when he was envoy to Liao, there are poems and texts. ”

Speaking of which. Chen was a little embarrassed. The Great Song Dynasty bowed to the Liao State, which was an embarrassment for the entire Song people. But it was precisely this point that enabled the Song people to dispel the blind arrogance of the Celestial Empire and begin to interact with other countries on an equal footing---- but this happened to be in line with the advanced thinking of modern "equal diplomacy".

The Khitan people consider themselves to be the Zhengshuo of the Central Plains, which is not only the opinion of the Khitans. There is also a school of thought in the world history community that the word "C" is the transliteration of "Khitan", because in about a thousand years, the communication between Western society and China must be realized through the Khitan country, and the Khitan has been established for nearly a thousand years, and it is the longest surviving country in the land of China, so it is natural to use the word "Khitan" to refer to China.

This statement also embarrassed modern Chinese, so Chinese historians adopted the practice of covering their ears and forbidding the common people to know about it.

"What is the situation in Liao, my Great Song has always been in the clouds. I've always wanted to test it and see what the military situation in Liaoguo is. In the past, our officials went to the Liao State, and the scene they saw was only a general talk, and did not go deep into the interior of the Liao State, and generally speaking, the information they sent out was not even as detailed as the information sent back by the merchants......" Zhao Xing looked at the north, wrinkled his eyebrows, and added worriedly: "I heard that the north of the Liao State has begun to be in turmoil, the Jurchens and the Liao people have a big conflict, the two sides have begun to fight on a large scale, and the Liao people have suffered a big loss.

Now, the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao people has just passed away, and what is the situation of the Liao Kingdom when the Southern Courtyard is empty and ownerless, this is what I want to know. In addition, can the Liao people resist the female straight man, and after the female straight man wins, will they swing the horse whip further south...... That's all I want to know! ”

Chen was a little confused, Zhao Xing led the army to press the estuary, coupled with his secret conversation with Tong Guan, anyone would have thought that Zhao Xing's purpose seemed to be to help the new emperor, and there was even a great possibility that Zhao Xing was summoned by the new emperor. But now it seems that Zhao Xing has always been a backhand, and he is ready to deal with Zhangdi's manpower. Suddenly turning to the Liao, Chen was very confused. He felt that it was really hard to guess Zhao Xingdi's thoughts.

However, if Zhao Xing's mind can be guessed by an ordinary person, then this "ordinary person" is also a traverser.

Originally, Zhao Xing appeared at the mouth of the river with his troops. It is to avoid the "last days" under the rule of Song Huizong. Although, during the reign of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the "Emperor of Art", the Great Song Dynasty entered a most glorious era, and the artistic achievements born in this era often made future generations can only look up, however, what supported this artistic era was the "Huashi Gang" that forcibly deprived the people of their property caused by the inflation caused by the indiscriminate issuance of "Jiaozi (paper money)" caused the bankruptcy of the local government's credit, so when the Jin soldiers came to the city, no one in the entire capital resisted. Everyone wants to end this chaotic era as soon as possible, and they will not hesitate to die for it.

With this purpose, it also carries a strong sense of concern for the situation in the north. Zhao Xing led the army to press at the mouth of the Yellow River. From time to time, I look up to the north. This place is an important defense line in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, and he stayed here, on the one hand, he wanted to force Zhang to resign, in order to end the destruction caused by the party struggle, on the other hand, when the situation was clear, he wanted to "stop by" to spy on the reality of the Liao country, and it just so happened that the Liao people sent her a reason to be furious.

Zhao Xing didn't expect it. Because Zhang took the wrong position on the issue of succession, his appearance allowed the little emperor to solve Zhang smoothly, but the little emperor obviously couldn't make up his mind, although Zhao Xing has been influencing the little emperor's thoughts through letters over the years, but the little emperor obviously regards his brother Zhezong as an example, and still wants to change the current image of the Great Song Dynasty through change. At present, the embarrassment of the entire Great Song Dynasty is the Liao State and the Western Xia, these two countries, one of which was forced to pay the annual tribute by the Great Song Dynasty. The other occupied Yinxia, so that the Great Song had to spend money to buy peace.

I have to say that although the Great Song Dynasty is in an age of navigation and a commercial era, it is still not very interested in things outside, and even disdainful. I think that at the beginning, in the original history, it was also a defector Liao merchant who told the Great Song Dynasty the information of the Liao State, which made the entire Great Song Dynasty suddenly realize. It turned out that the Liao State was on the verge of extinction. Right now. In the historical time and space where Zhao Xing lived, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were still obsessed with the affairs of the Liao State. Hazy. Most of what Zhao Xing said was learned for the first time. The officials present were shocked and also felt a little novel.

Cao Yu's responsibilities were related, and he couldn't help but interject and ask: "Lord Zhao, is what you said true, who did you listen to to the female straight rebel?" Can I meet those people? ”

Cao Yu was concerned about the actual situation, and Chen Yu was indignant: "The Liao people actually think that they are the Zhengshuo of the Central Plains---- which is very hateful!" Lord Zhao, what do the scholars of the Liao Kingdom read? Don't they know propriety, righteousness, and shame? ”

"The Liao State also took the imperial examination, and I got the news that there are twenty-eight Jinshi they have admitted this year", Zhao Xing looked at the north bank absentmindedly, at this time, a team of Liao sentry horses suddenly appeared on the north bank, and spied on the temporary camp of the Song army on the north bank. When Cao Yu saw it, he immediately stomped his feet: "It's broken, the Liao soldiers have reached the riverbank, and your musketeers are afraid that they have been surrounded, or are being annihilated...... How is it good, how is it good? ”

Although Chen is pedantic, he is still an official of the Song Dynasty, and when he heard this, he interjected in annoyance: "They all blame me, they all blame me, if they complete the consolation early, as long as Lord Zhao or Lord Shuai is left alone in the army, how can the Liao people succeed so easily?" ”

At this time, in the temporary landing site of the Song army on the north bank, Zhao Xing's family was still busy nervously. Zhao Xing looked at the movements of those Liao soldiers from the binoculars, shook his head, and said to himself: "No, the tactical awareness is too poor." ”

The Liao soldiers were whistling, and while passing by the place close to the Song army's camp, they shouted arrogantly, as if they wanted to tease the Song army to attack again. On the side of the river bank facing the Song army, because of the cover of warships, they did not erect fences, but on the other three sides, those wooden fences have gradually taken shape. From the south bank, you can see every move of the Song army, but facing the north bank, the Song army's movements are hidden behind a high wooden fence, making it impossible for the Liao people to peep.

"This is the head of the army!" Zhao Xing pointed to the north shore and said to Chen and Cao Yu: "Aren't the two of you going to take a look at the Han people of Liao? The southern courtyard of the Liao State is the place where the Han people gather, using the official system of our Great Song Dynasty---- this army is composed of Han people, the Liao people call it the head army, they are the most ferocious army in the Liao State, this ferocity is mainly aimed at the Song army. ”

Zhao Xing often looked out from the sea, developed the habit of observing things in the distance, the two adults saw those mung bean-sized figures in the distance, very uncomfortable, the well-behaved Japanese warrior handed a few binoculars, several adults were not humble, holding binoculars to observe the opposite shore.

Zhang Dunli was also very eager to take a look at the situation on the other side, but he only accompanied Cao Yu here, and had no official title, so he didn't get a telescope, so he could only stretch his neck to look, Zhao Xing saw this scene, deeply forgot Zhang Dunli's glance, handed over the telescope in his hand, pointed to the other side, and patiently explained to him: "Zhang Yuma, you see, the hats they wear under the head of the army, with pheasant feathers on them, and ice iron knives and spears in their waists, here are the Chihou of the head army, and they are immediately wearing horned bows." ”

In the original history, Tong Guan took 200,000 of the most elite troops of the Great Song Dynasty, and wanted to take advantage of the Jin people to invade the Liao State when they destroyed the Liao, but he didn't expect that Tong Guan, who had received brainwashing education since childhood, was only one cell left in his head, and he foolishly thought that as long as he told the Liao people that "the Song soldiers are coming", the Han people in the southern courtyard of the Liao State should "look at the scenery", so he ordered the Song army not to fight back against the advancing Liao soldiers, but to hold high the banner of "benevolence, righteousness and morality" and accept the other party's surrender.

As a result, the most elite troops of the Song army suffered an efficient massacre, and it was the efficient slaughter of the Liao State Leader Army, which made the Great Song Dynasty elite soldiers lose all after the battle, and as a result, when the Jin soldiers came to the city, the capital could not gather the soldiers who guarded the city wall, and they had to rely on ruffians and Taoist priests to defend the country---- as a result, they betrayed the country.

What Zhao Xing said just now was also a reminder to the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers not to have unrealistic illusions about the Liao people.

No one has ever relied on "benevolence, righteousness and morality" to win a war, and the victory of a war depends on iron and fire.

The Liao soldiers on the opposite side ---- no, the Han soldiers of the Liao State on the opposite side were still in an extremely arrogant noise, in the temporary camp of the Song army, the horses and fences had been properly arranged, and several Song soldiers shouted, dragged the gun carriage to the fence mouth, and began to load the small cannon. After a while, several small cannons were deployed, but the Song army did not happen for a long time, and it seemed that they were still waiting for orders from the other side.

Zhao Xing couldn't sit still, he stood up and urged his servants: "Come on, change my clothes, order them to prepare the ship, and I will personally go over and command." ”

Chen Da was afraid: "Lord Zhao, you can't, you are the captain of the school, as soon as you set foot on that land, the meaning is completely different---- you can't go to the other side." ”

Zhao Xing's eyes widened: "Who said I was going to set foot on the land on the other side?" Will Master Chen say that? Will Master Cao say that? If you don't say, who will know? ”

Chen jumped anxiously: "This, isn't this covering your ears and stealing the bell?" ”
