"The southern mountains and rivers of the emperor dwell, are completely divided in the book of heaven; How to invade against the captivity, you wait to see the defeat! ”

When Li Qiande, the emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom, who drove the expedition in person, read aloud the four "divine poems" obtained by the late great hero Li Changjie after the battle of Ruyue River (according to Li Changjie said that it was composed by a man of God), the banner of the Li Dynasty of Dayue was already flying high at the head of the small city of Qinzhou.

Just two days before Li Qiande personally led 50,000 elite soldiers to occupy the empty city of Qinzhou, his Li Chongde broke the city of Yongzhou, which had no defenders. In addition, a series of cities belonging to Yongzhou, such as Pingxiangsi, Shangshixi Prefecture (the prefecture belonging to Yongzhou only has the name of a state, but in fact it is just a small piece of territory occupied by local officials), Xiashixi Prefecture, Jiangzhou, Siming Prefecture, Taipingzhai, Guwanzhai and a series of cities belonging to Yongzhou. Along the entire Zuoshui coast, the flag of the Great Yue Kingdom is fluttering everywhere!

The beginning of the Northern Expedition of Huixiang Daqing (Dayue Year) seems to be smoother than the Northern Expedition of Taining more than 30 years ago.

The Song army is still vulnerable!

It's not the same, but it's even more vulnerable!

It seems that the war with the Khitans in the north has exhausted the vitality of the Song State. The whole country was exhausted, and the South was even more empty.

Perhaps the target that can be captured in this war is not only Yongzhou, Qinzhou, and Lianzhou, but can be fought all the way to Guangzhou and Guizhou, and turn all the Guangnan West Road and East Road of the Song State into the territory of the Great Yue Kingdom.

The big Yue that won the two Guangzhous is the real big Yue! It is the real Nandi Mountains and Rivers! In the past, the territory of Zhao Tuo, Emperor Wu of Nanyue, included today's Guangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road.

Li Qiande, the emperor of Dayue with a helmet and armor, had already climbed the city wall of Qinzhou at this time and looked east. He was accompanied by a group of civil and military generals of the Great Yue Kingdom, all of whom were beaming.

The current war, to be honest, is not what they want, but forced out by the faint monarch and traitorous ministers of the Great Song Dynasty!

Before the war began, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Yue Kingdom were still a little afraid of the Great Song Dynasty.

Because the sailors of the Great Song Kingdom have been too high-profile in recent years. The southern sea is full of warships of the Song State Sea Road City Ship Control Division, the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate and the Youzhou Army. These warships were all huge and strong, and they were very fast, and they were so well armed that they could not even breathe for the sailors of the southern countries. Rao is the Great Yue Kingdom, which has always attached more importance to sailors, and does not have the financial resources to build a warfleet that can be compared with them.

The navy is the most money-burning service! In the Middle Ages, it was impossible for a country to build a navy without the support of huge maritime interests.

The army of the country of Da Viet can still take a look, and the navy ...... I sold the palace in Thang Long and didn't have the money to build it.

Da Viet is a country with a long coastline, and the capital Thang Long is located on the bank of the Red River, which has strong navigation ability. Those big war ships of the Song Kingdom can rush to the door of Emperor Dayue without any difficulty!

Therefore, from a strategic point of view, today's Da Song has an overwhelming advantage over Da Yue!

Even if Da Yue's land division can be invincible in the south, there is no advantage to speak of. Because there are more than 2,000 miles to go from Thang Long to Guangzhou, according to the speed of 50 miles a day, it will take 40 days!

Although it is more than 6,000 miles from Haizhou to Thang Long by waterway, a sailboat traveling at a speed of 5 knots can travel 37 miles in an hour! More than 6,000 miles is just more than 100 hours, and it can be reached in ten days!

In other words, the strong troops in the north of the Song Kingdom only need half a month to reach the capital of Dayue by sea! If the Great Song Dynasty had such a terrible sea power at the beginning of its founding, it would have been impossible for the Great Yue to establish a state independently......

Moreover, if the Song people could quickly ship tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the north to the south, then they would also be able to ship the rice produced on both sides of the Red River north!

Thousands of miles on both sides of the Red River are filled with fertile paddy fields that are used to sow rice, and there is no problem with three crops a year. If the Central Plains Dynasty could solve the problem of grain transportation by sea, such as a grain-producing area like Jiaozhi, the imperial court would not be able to give up no matter what—Jiaozhi is not a wild land! As early as the Han Dynasty, the population of Cochin was much larger than that of Guangdong.

If the grain of Jiaozhi can be transported to Haizhou, it will be supplied to the Central Plains. How could the Great Song Dynasty give up its conquest of Jiaozhi in the era of the Taizong Dynasty? If the strong troops in the north of the Song Dynasty moved south with a tailwind in winter, they would be able to reach Thang Long in 15 days. With the strength of the Li Dynasty, how could it be possible to defeat the powerful Song army?

So when the fleet led by Ji Yi and Mi Youren came murderously and returned with food. The Emperor of Dayue, Li Qiande, knew that the Dayue Kingdom was already in danger of survival.

They extorted 2 million stone of rice at one time!

In the face of such an existential danger, is there any other way out for the Great Viet Kingdom than to rise up and fight?

If you sit in Shenglong and wait for the army of the Song Kingdom to come in waves, it is a dead end!

And the only way to survive is to strike first, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Liangguang Road in the Song Kingdom, and grabbing as much territory as possible.

If you can capture Guangzhou and Guizhou, you will play a real Southern Emperor. Then Da Yue Guo can rely on the territory of Guangnan East Road, Guangnan West Road and Jiaozhi Road to resist the Great Song Dynasty......

The military adventure launched by the two brothers, Li Qiande and Li Chongde, at the time of their survival, seems to have made a good start.

The Song Dynasty's defense on the South Guangxi Road was even weaker than they imagined, and it was simply vulnerable!

A military attache of Dayue received the latest battle report, and ran behind Li Qiande as if flying, and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the scouts have come to report that the soldiers and civilians of the northern captives have retreated to the defense city on the southwest coast. ”

Emperor Dayue snorted: "What elite soldiers from the north are simply vulnerable!"

Spread the decree, speed up the march, I want to take Guangzhou and restore the former Emperor Wu of Nanyue before the real Beibei elite soldiers go south! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, Da Yue will be Xing!"

The ministers below immediately began to cheer.

Contrary to the expectations of Zhou Lu, Zhang Chunxiao, Yang Kebi and others, this Dayue Tianzi has jumped over the wall in a hurry, and his goal is to capture the Guangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road of the Song Dynasty, and fight a real Southern Emperor!

After conquering Qinzhou, Li Gande did not pay attention to the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty who hid in the defense of the city, but after dividing 5,000 troops to garrison the city of Qinzhou, he marched eastward non-stop, and only three days later, he attacked the empty and unprepared Lianzhou, and then attacked Huazhou to the east, approaching Gaozhou, and the spearhead of the attack was directed at Guangzhou, the ruling center of the Great Song Dynasty in Guangnan.

At the same time, Li Chongde, who occupied Yongzhou City, did not stop moving, but broke through Penn and Hengzhou in succession, and approached Guizhou, the capital of Guangnan West Road.

Guangzhou is in a hurry! Guizhou Premium! Tiannan shook!

……

Tianjin, Dongshi Port.

The autumn wind rises, and the autumn rain falls.

Neat Republican soldiers were silently boarding the ship. The expedition was not large, only six battalions with a mere 5,000 men.

But the warship carrying these 5,000 people is incredible, it is a whole 20 "Truth"-class battleships!

This is also the vast majority of the "truth" class of the Great Zhou Navy. 20 warships with 360 cannons of the 2500 jin, 3000 jin or 3600 jin class.

In the Middle Ages, this was simply the firepower that could destroy an empire!

And their target is the Great Yue Empire of the Southern Emperor Li Qiande!

That's right, Wu Haogu is also salivating over the rich Red River Plain.

In fact, the dispatch of troops from Tianjin to Thang Long was only more than 7,000 miles by sea. With the downwind speed of the "truth class", it is only about 20 days. A trip to Liaoyang Mansion by land is not enough for 20 days......

Therefore, in the Age of Discovery, the distance between Tianjin and Thang Long was not very far, and Wu Haogu and Li Qiande were actually standing on the same stage.

Although Li Gande didn't realize this, Wu Haogu knew very well that in the Age of Discovery, the earth had "become smaller"!

At this time, Wu Haogu was on the wharf of Dongshi Port, in a pavilion that could shelter from the rain, talking to the commander-in-chief of this expedition, Rear Admiral Chen Tianli, Admiral of the Nanyang Fleet of the Great Zhou Navy.

"This is the first battle of the 1st Marine Brigade...... Although the Marine Brigade is full of veterans and has been training with ships for nearly a year, there are not many people after all, so it must be used with caution. ”

The Marines, of course, were formed for the purpose of a quick and long-term deployment of troops overseas! Because the army of the Zhou State was basically a combination of soldiers and peasants, it was difficult for the troops to carry out a long-term campaign, otherwise the manor in the family would be abandoned.

Therefore, in order to use troops overseas, after the end of the Liaodong Campaign, Wu Haogu issued an order to form a marine corps.

At present, the Marine Corps has two brigades, the first of which is a mercenary recruited from among the Republican Army veterans, all of whom are veterans of battle. Mainly from an infantry background, it was used for conquests in the southern regions.

The second brigade was a Hu mercenary army dominated by the yellow-headed Jurchens. It is mainly used for expeditions in the northern coastal areas.

Both brigades are 5,000 men and have five infantry battalions and a command battalion - the infantry of the Marine Corps can fight on horseback, so the infantry battalion can be used as mounted infantry or cavalry as long as it is equipped with horses. At the same time, they also mastered the "three battles" of spears, swords and shields, bows and arrows, and can be regarded as very elite troops. Although the number of people is only 10,000, it is enough to grab land for Da Zhou overseas!

Chen Tianli said: "Don't worry, the lower officials will definitely not let the Marine Brigade take risks." ”

"Okay, that's it!" Wu Haogu smiled, "I'll leave it to you...... Remember, it doesn't matter if you can take Thang Long Mansion or not, the key is to occupy a good port along the coast of Jiaozhi, and we can't always share an Anbang mouth with the Song Kingdom. The location has already been surveyed by the navy, and I won't say much. When you get there, you must occupy the favorable terrain, build a strong castle, and plan for the long haul. If the Song army wants to enter the Shenglong Mansion, you will send people to follow and take advantage of it. Otherwise, wait until next spring, when the naval fleet can return, and the marines will be left behind. ”
