Part 3 The Foxtrot Dance of the Great Warlord Chapter 3277 Stepping on the Land of Liao
Chapter 3277 set foot on the land of Liao
Everyone was quietly waiting for Zhao Xing's decision, and Chen Caoyu and the others were all in their throats, nervous and unable to breathe. ^^ to see the latest^ and Shuai Fan didn't care, he didn't even look at Zhao Xing, he just stared at the other side of the river.
On the other side of the river, the soldiers of the Suzaku Army were looking here, and when they saw that there had been no movement on the south bank for a long time, several officers who had landed on the shore discussed and ordered the scouts to set off first, while their large army was still waiting.
On the south bank of the river, Zhao Xing tilted his head and thought for a moment, slowly raised his hand, opened the edict of the imperial court allowing him to land on the shore to rest nearby, glanced at it lightly, nodded slightly, and replied: "I'm not a saboteur, so ...... The minister receives the order. ”
As soon as Chen heard this, his feet suddenly softened, and the qi in his heart was almost unconnected, his body relaxed, pointed to the other side, and hurriedly reminded: "Lord Zhao, it's better to ...... Quickly call your soldiers back, they have already penetrated into the Liao realm, in case of a dispute between the two countries, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain in front of the new emperor. ”
Zhao Xingyi shook his head, and his reply once again proved that although he received the will of the imperial court, he was still the head of the "tiger": "Why? I escorted the tribute envoy into Beijing, but I was attacked by the most shameless surprise attack on the riverbank, this was a robbery, and it was the regular army of Liao that participated in the robbery, and the officials of Liao State did not give me an explanation, did he think I was a bully?
Ha, Lord Chen is also at the scene, why don't you and I sign a letter and ask the officials of Liao---- I want to know, is this robbery an act of the government? If it is, it is to declare war on my Great Song Dynasty, and my counterattack is justified; If this is not an act of the government, it means that the Liao government has collapsed, and they can no longer control their soldiers. Haha, I'm not too troublesome, and I'm willing to discipline these lawless soldiers for them---- for free! ”
Chen and Zhao Xing have different ideas, at this moment Zhao Xing has taken the will, and he has completed the task. As for Zhao Xing, he was going to war with the Liao...... He wants to go as far as possible and take on as little responsibility as possible. Chen, who didn't want to stay there for long, responded casually while looking at Cao Yu for support. As if he suddenly remembered something, he reminded Cao Yu: "Lord Cao, this place is over, don't you still go to work?" If you leave, I will return with you. ”
Cao Yu smiled and played with the dog, and replied to Chen with a grin: "I won't panic away." The letter of inquiry co-signed by Lord Zhao can be added to the name of the official place...... I forgot to tell Lord Zhao that Lord Gao Zunhui has passed away, and I am going to take over Lord Gao Zunhui and be the commander of the Daimyo Mansion. At this time, the Liao soldiers are in the overall situation, and it is more useful for me to stay here than to stay in the Daimyo's Mansion......"
When Chen heard this, he rolled his eyes, and said in his stomach: "Hmph, Wufu!" You stay here. Certainly safer. Zhang is gone, if Zhao Liren can't stop the Liao soldiers, it's useless for you to stay in the Daimyo's Mansion......"
In fact. Cao Yu's words were not only reminding Chen, but also hinting at Zhao Xing. Before Gao Zunhui's death, although he blocked Zhao Xing's way as if he was facing a great enemy, Zhao Xing disdained to fight Gao Zunhui. And Zhao Xing's previous achievements are too appalling: in the face of the Western Xia, he dared to go out of the city to fight, and also captured several villages of the Western Xia people one after another; He was also uneasy to live in Lingnan, destroying the city, invading Dali, and subduing the small Nanyang countries, which seemed to be a victory in a hundred battles. And every time it seems that it didn't take much effort to destroy a thousand-year-old country.
These are small wars. Because of these achievements. It can also make the world's famous generals look up to it. I often think about it in my heart. In conditional cases. Or they can follow suit. But he faced the battle of Tibet. But it only leaves people with the desire to die---- which is simply inhuman. Led by a dozen attendants. dared to face the tens of thousands of Tibetan sneak attack army. Although afterwards, Zhao Xing was vigilant in order to prevent the Tubo people. Deliberately without explaining the details of the battle. But the results of those battles were clearly there: the army of the southern front of Tibet was completely annihilated. Zhao Xing was slightly injured. Only a few attendants were killed.
A little minor injury. Several attendants were killed. It buried the entire southern army of Tibet. Such a record made Zhao Xing deservedly ascend to the throne of "the first fierce general of the Great Song Dynasty". And in the face of such a record. The entire Great Song Dynasty even lost the interest in launching a sprint to the second throne.
In the face of such a record. Previously, Gao Zunhui mobilized the entire army of the Daimyo Prefecture to block Zhao Xing. The ministers of the court unanimously agreed that this was a joke. It is impossible for Gao Zunhui to stop Zhao Xing. And Zhao Xing stopped on the bank of the Yellow River. It also made the ministers of the court unanimously believe that Zhao Xing and the little emperor may have a secret agreement.
Joke. An old man led a group of recruits who hadn't fought in twenty years. Facing the first fierce general of the Great Song Dynasty. I actually want to rely on that group of dolls to block the Hundred Battles Sergeant Suzaku Legion. It's as strange as Arabian Nights. To know. The same goes for this Suzaku Army. Fifty regular soldiers were dispatched. It made the Fujian Lu family suffer a big loss. And the Lu family is a big family that can mobilize thousands of villages......
So Cao Yu hinted here: Chen and his visit to the Daimyo's Mansion guarded the old and weak soldiers. It is better to stay by Zhao Xing's side and take care of this tiger nearby. And Zhao Xing really wanted to rush through the Daimyo's Mansion. It is enough to bring a dozen attendants. Such people. The old and weak soldiers of the Daimyo's Mansion couldn't stop it at all. There is only the love of friends, the righteousness of brothers, and the name of ministers. Maybe the other party can't do it......
Cao Yu was also telling Zhao Xing: Gao Zunhui is dead. Deathly. Now there are no generals on the Northern Front of the Great Song Dynasty. The new Daimyo Mansion is under the jurisdiction of the Soldiers and Horses. You're going to make trouble. Out of the resentment. I support. I'm on your side. But you have to grasp the "degree" yourself. Because once you are defeated. Or maybe things are too big. So much so that it is out of control. There are no reinforcements in the north of my Great Song Dynasty. All reinforcements are right in front of you. I'm the only one!
Chen understood, Shuai Fan also understood, he hurriedly approached Zhao Xing's side and pulled Zhao Xing to a secluded place. Chen nodded at Cao Yu here, and no longer insisted on returning to the Daimyo's Mansion. A little farther away, Shuai Fan was whispering to Zhao Xing, at this time the two had already walked away a few steps, and a few words faintly floated in the wind, it was Shuai Fan who was asking: "My lord, you just said that the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao people is dead, and the entire Southern Courtyard is at the point where the dragons are leaderless, yes, we ...... Grab a handful of ......"
Zhao Xingdi replied intermittently: "...... Golden opportunity...... Negotiate first...... I think they must not have replied because there is no one in charge in the Southern Courtyard...... It's up to the kids to behave......"
Shuai Fan took a step forward, pulled away a few more steps, and whispered: "My lord, why don't I go first, I will personally land on the shore and take the soldiers over to sweep it." ”
Zhao Xing shook his head: "I need you, at this moment." I don't want you to leave, and let the sons and daughters do their free. ”
Shuai Fan took another step sideways, and the corner of his eye swept to Tong Guan walking here, he raised a finger, signaled Tong Guan to stop, and asked Zhao Xing in a low voice: "What I just said." Do you really understand? I see that Lord Chen is still unsatisfied, and when the court sees that Lord Chen is called, I am afraid that it will be further encircled---- and Lord must strengthen his belief: We only have two steps to go now, one is to enter the court, stay up for a few years, and when Han Zhongyan and Zeng Bu retire, we may be able to be Zaifu; One is to take a step back and retreat to Guangzhou.
I have just suggested that your Excellency take a step back because we still have a little bit of a thing left in the South. I'm afraid that when the adults leave, all the work will be abandoned halfway, and that will be a pity.
My lord. At this moment, it is a rare opportunity for my Great Song Dynasty, and it is also an opportunity for me to dominate the South China Sea that is rare in the Chinese millennium. Recently, I analyzed that the Arabs and the Westerners are in full swing, and once these two life-and-death enemies fight, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop for hundreds of years.
At the same time, the maritime trade of the Great Song Dynasty has been accumulated for hundreds of years, and the footprints of Song merchants are all over the South China Sea. Most of them have taken root in the local area and even achieved a certain status. For example, the Fujian immigrants in Cochin, the immigrants from the Champa land, the Song merchants in Changmen, the Song merchants in Tamna, and even as far away as Africa, there are also our Song people's land forces.
Didn't all the efforts that adults have made in the past few years be to prepare for this moment? Now that our sailors have almost been trained, and the forces in the South China Sea have been integrated, as long as we take another step forward, the whole sea will be the world of my Song people. And the adults enter the center at this time. Who will succeed in the matter of Quang Nam? Guangdong refers to the land of shooting, which talented local official will come to Guangdong again? After losing this opportunity, will our nation still have a chance to dominate like that? What year and month?
And I estimate that in order to divide the power of the adults, the imperial court will purge the Guangdong officialdom after the adults enter the court, such as transferring the old officials and appointing new officials. Quang Nam is rich, under the old atmosphere of the court. The new official arrived in Quang Nam. Will it continue the policy of adults more, or will it be more corrupt...... And so it goes. Years of hard work have been in vain.
My lord, please think twice---- take a step forward, adults may not necessarily become Zaifu, because there are also Han Xiang, Zeng Xiang, and a large number of old party restoration personnel, adults talk about qualifications, they can't compare to Po Gong, Su Sanzhang These old ministers, when Su Gong and them go down, who knows what wind direction will blow in the court?!
My lord, one step forward may not necessarily become Zaifu, but one step back, my lord must be the first warlord of the Great Song Dynasty, the first town in the world--- although Liangguang is a little bitter, but we have almost operated in the early stage, now is the time to harvest, please think twice. ”
When Zhao Xing faced Shuai Fan, he didn't hide his thoughts, he smiled and said, "I know, so I never had the intention of rebelling." The Great Song Dynasty has educated people for so many years, and every soldier feels the virtue and politics of the Great Song Dynasty, and since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been an armed rebellion in the local festival towns, because the soldiers under their command may be dissatisfied with the generals and local officials, but they have never been dissatisfied with the virtue and politics of the Great Song Dynasty, so as soon as the imperial court soldiers arrive, the soldiers will be scattered as birds and beasts.
I am in command of the Suzaku Army, and these soldiers are in Shaanxi, so it is impossible for them to have the intention of rebellion. So when I saw Fan Chun appear, I already understood that the imperial court was not worried about my rebellion at all, and perhaps, my political enemies were looking at me to make a move.
I'm not a traitor! To tell you the truth---- King Duanwang used to communicate with me. When I was in Dengzhou, I had already sent someone to send him a letter asking about the new emperor's succession, and expressed his concern that there would be chaos in seizing the throne, and told him that if there was any change in the palace, please go to Mamond's mansion to take refuge as soon as possible. Before that, I also sent him a few widow guards......
When I fell to the mouth of the Yellow River, I had already received news of his accession to the throne. But he didn't reply yet, so I sent a letter to him, asking him to force Zhang to abdicate---- I only have this condition, nothing else. And this is exactly what the little emperor has in mind.
Zhang Duxiang has been in the seventh year, and his power has been very strong, if he supports Duanwang in the succession battle, I estimate that the little emperor will summon my army into Beijing anyway---- Tong Guan may be here for this matter. At that time, it was a lot of trouble to solve the chapter. Thankfully, Zhang is now on the wrong side.
A powerful minister who does not support the emperor's succession is in the court and has power in the world, and the little emperor will always worry that his authority will be challenged. The hairpin family also needs this support, so they sent their right-hand men to show favor to me, and lo and behold, isn't that Tong Guan Tong Pavilion also frequently glaring at us? He must have brought with him a message from His Majesty. ”
Shuai Fan took a few steps back and beckoned Tong Guan to step forward. When Tong Guan walked towards Zhao Xing, the officials present were all cunning people, and in order to avoid suspicion, they had already hid far away. At this time, in their hearts, they had already decided that the whispering between Shuai Fan and Zhao Xingdi just now was a foreshadowing of the secret conversation with Tong Guan, the two were counting the army, agreeing on the generals of the unified army, and so on.
Chen kept despising Zhao Xing in his heart: This reckless man. So anxious...... Well, the official family is also too young to hold their breath. officialdom. These kinds of secret meetings are all held in private, and there is no reserve at all when they talk eagerly in front of so many of us. is still a jinshi, I'm afraid that the original examiner, Su Laopo gave him the back door.
However, Chen thought about it again, and automatically defended the little emperor: the court was changing and the matter was urgent, so the little emperor was forced to act......
Sure enough, Tong Guan whispered to Zhao Xing. Tong Guan turned to Fan Chun and asked: "Lord Cao, Lord Zhao still has some tributes on the ship, please call for people to unload, in addition, doesn't Lord Fan have five hundred Vermilion Bird Army in his hands, I plan to transfer four hundred people from Lord Fan, Lord Zhao also promised to give me another five hundred people, and I will escort these tributes back to Beijing in advance." ”
Fan Chun raised his eyebrows and refuted unceremoniously: "It's not appropriate." Of the 4,000 Vermilion Bird Army that Lord Zhao has on hand, 3,000 are the old man's. The matter here is over, and the old man will take them to Huanqing immediately, so as to meet the Tangut people at the beginning of spring next year. Tong Dage wants to transfer troops, since they can be transferred from nearby, I heard that the nearby Zhending Mansion has two commanders of the Japanese army and the Gongsheng army, you can transfer them. ”
Fan Chun thought that Tong Guan wanted to send these soldiers back to the capital to deal with Zhang, others didn't know what was special about the army trained by Zhao Xing, but he and Zhang knew.
Zhao Xing has always emphasized "standardization". Soldiers he trained. In terms of fighting skills, it doesn't seem to be very good, and once these soldiers are in formation. began to "standardize" tactical movements, even in the face of the strong attack of the Xixia Centaur Brigade, there was no stage fright, which can be described as fierce and stable.
The most important thing is that the "norms" emphasized by Zhao Xing can be replicated, these soldiers are the seeds of Huanqing's strong army, as long as they are used as instructors, all the troops in Huanqing will be like a template for a year. In this way, not to mention facing the Western Xia people, even facing the Liao people, Fan Chun is also confident that he will fight a good battle to defend the territory, and even counterattack deeply.
Fan Chun and Zhang have been partners for many years, and they know that Zhang is a very discerning person, otherwise he would not have put forward the classic defense theory of "deep base plus shallow attack" in an epoch-making way. Just look at Zhang After returning to Huanqing, he didn't want anything else, and kept crying and shouting and asking Zhao Xing to help train three thousand musketeers. Fan Chun knew that this group of musketeers must be better than the "assault rifle team" trained by the group of embezzlers in the Ordnance Prison. And he knew that the "assault rifle team" trained by the ordnance supervisor was a group of "armed actors" who loved to perform, and the "assault rifle array" had sound and light effects, as if they were performing a fireworks display, and in terms of lethality, it was worse than a bow and arrow. Otherwise, the border states of the Great Song Dynasty would not have turned a blind eye to the presence of firearms units.
It's useless to just guess, the firing of Zhao Xing's fleet just now made Fan Chun see the power of this musket team somewhat, although he made the boldest estimate of this firearms unit in advance, what he saw with his own eyes still subverted his understanding of firearms. Not to mention that the guns on the ship set off huge waves on the river, just looking at the more than 30 soldiers on each ship on the ship, they dared to set foot on the land of the Liao, and in the face of the Liaoren cavalry to meet the battle, Fan Chun knew that this group of people was the foundation for him to stand firm in Huanqing in the future.
At this moment, he has been thanking Zhang's legacy in his heart.
Letting this group of soldiers be handed over to Tong Guan means that they may be incorporated into the forbidden army and become the next batch of "armed actors", they are the emperor's collection of antiques, purely for show and show-off, and occasionally used as weapons to kill political enemies---- for this, Fan is purely resolute in refusing, so his attitude of refusal must be as firm and firm.
Fan Chun was a stubborn old man who even dared to be detained by the envoys of Western Xia, Tong Guan didn't dare to force him anymore, so he turned his attention to Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing was also reluctant to hand over people, he turned his gaze to Fan Chun, and said in a pleading tone: "Lord Fan, this time you came to Shunbaozhai, do you also have a supervision task, my two ships are stuck in muddy water, and the Yellow River is about to freeze, please help me tow ...... nearby"
Zhao Xing is bullying Fan Chun for not knowing how to sail, if Fan Chun knows how to sail, he can immediately reply and say: "You unload the cargo in the ship, and after the draft becomes shallow, the big ship can move ......."
In fact, Zhao Xing's ship was far from being in a deep position in the mud, and if his ship really ran aground, the recoil of the artillery could capsize the stranded ship with a round of shelling. However, the ship's grounding was an excuse for Zhao Xing to stay in Shunbaozhai, and he did not want to move his ship easily until he received a reply from the imperial court.
Now that the imperial court has given an answer, but the remuneration paid by the imperial court has not been generous enough to compensate for the two warships, Zhao Xing decided not to act anymore and began to clean up the mess.
Fan Chun turned his gaze to Cao Yu and said, "Lord Cao is just about to send a letter to the Daimyo's Mansion, but by the way, the Japanese army can be mobilized, and the Gongsheng Army will come up and escort the tribute on the ship into Beijing." Well, I remember that there are quite a lot of warships in the Daimyo Mansion, and it is not a problem to requisition thousands of them, Lord Zhao's business, and let the Daimyo Mansion contribute. ”
Fan Chun shirked this, his tone changed, and he urged Zhao Xing to hand over the remaining two thousand five hundred soldiers, and planned to leave for Huanqing immediately. This is done so obviously because the matter of Shunbaozhai is too sensitive and too weird, Fan Chun doesn't plan to get involved too much, he is ready to flash people.
Fan Chun flashed and hung Tong Guan aside. Tong Guan originally wanted to receive a team of at least five hundred people from the two adults, but how many people could be left behind on the stranded warship, and the rest of the soldiers could only be dispatched from the place where Zhao Xing hid the ship, so it would take time. Tong Guan was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, but he didn't dare to interrupt Fan Chun and Zhao Xing's idle conversation.
Tong Guan couldn't speak, and the rest of the people didn't want to get involved too deeply in this matter, everyone pretended to be confused, Cao Yu hurriedly ran farther and farther along Zhao Xing's topic: "Okay, okay, the lower official will order the disbandment of the army assembled by the Daimyo's Mansion, and transfer the nearby Zhuri and Gongsheng armies to escort the tributes into Beijing...... Lord Chen is here to comfort the kings on your ship, and those envoys from Fanbang will be handed over to Lord Chen, I just need to send someone to escort the tribute, is Lord Chen going to leave here, or is it ......"
Cao Yu pulled the topic to Chen, several people were talking about the work arrangement in a sea of clouds and mountains, without bounds, except for the issue of army handover, chatting, a huge fleet appeared on the river, at the end of the river, several large ships were cruising, and they seemed to be afraid of running aground, but those few warships could make people feel their huge even from a distance.
Behind those huge boats, countless medium-sized sailing ships gradually emerged, and they communicated with each other with military horns, and after a while, all the warships put down their boats, and the boats struggled to row to the shore of Liao......
Everyone was attracted by the swarming warships, Fan Chun looked at the problem from a different angle, he stomped his feet, and shouted repeatedly: "My soldiers, my soldiers, Zhao Liren, return my soldiers." What are you sending them to the North Shore for? ”
The boat was full of soldiers, the number was far more than a thousand, and the Suzaku Army had a total of 4,000 people, and Zhao Xing only had 1,000 of them, which also meant that Zhao Xing sent soldiers subordinate to Fan Chun to the shore of Liao.
The strange thing is that everyone present is not optimistic about the fate of the Liao people, they don't seem to be worried about Zhao Liren sending troops to land and privately provoke, they are only worried about not making too much trouble about this matter.
Chen said complacently: "The envoy of the Liao State in the capital Bianliang died not long ago. Now even if we have a reproach, we can't raise it with the Liao envoy, but Lord Zhao sent these thousands of people over, in case the Liao army gathers, I am afraid that we will not be able to retreat. ”
Fan Chun stomped his feet and shouted: "Zhao Liren, what do you mean, are you going to bury these elites in the Liao Kingdom?" ……”
