Chapter 32: The Sixth Heavenly Demon King
The sea breeze at the beginning of February, a combination of damp and cold, is as pervasive as an awl, and the stinging people are cold all over the body. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tightening the mink fur on his body, Wu Kai stepped onto the No. 1 trestle of Dengzhou Wharf, at this time, next to the nine trestles, fourteen ships of thousands of materials were ready to go, and docked next to the No. 1 trestle was the flagship of the new generation of Dengzhou Sailors, the Weiyuan ship with a load of nearly 2,800 materials.
Because there was not much cargo in the cabin, the deck of the Weiyuan ship was obviously one foot higher than the trestle, and if it was a gangplank directly, it would be steep and difficult to climb, so the sailors on the pier had to build a high platform on the trestle.
Tut~
It seems that this sea ship is blindly seeking to be bigger, and it is not all good.
While pondering whether to send a letter to the Zhang family and cancel the order for the 3,000-material sea ship, he walked up the stairs accompanied by Han Shizhong.
When he came to the bow of the ship, which was more than two feet high, he looked down on the side of the boat, and saw that the Dengzhou Water Village was almost in full view, and Wu Kai suddenly changed his mind - this big ship may have many shortcomings, but the momentum is by no means comparable to that of a small sea boat, and it is perfect as a flagship.
"Old Han."
Wu Kai pointed to the patchwork water village and asked, "The foundation in front of you was built by you, do you really have the heart to leave like this?" β
Han Shizhong laughed, and also followed Wu Kai's example and poked his upper body out of the bow of the boat, staring at the water village with affection, but there was a resolute posture in his mouth: "Don't persuade me again, my lord, Han Wu's decision has never been changed - this Western Army, I have made up my mind!" β
But it turned out that at the end of last year, he contacted Tong Guan privately, and he actually wanted to be transferred back to the Western Army.
Now that the Western Army is in decline, seeing that the treatment is getting worse day by day, many generals have begged their grandfathers to tell their grandmothers that they want to transfer out of the Western Army, but at this time, Han Shizhong is ready to go against the trend and return to the Western Army to share weal and woe with the old brothers, I have to say that he is a man!
Of course, in addition to sharing weal and woe, Han Shizhong wanted to transfer back to the Western Army, and a considerable part of it was due to Wu Kai's sentence 'the building will fall'.
The day before yesterday, Han Shizhong said to Wu Kaiming: 'Our ancestors have lived in this big house for generations, how can we watch it collapse and not even help it? Listening to the meaning of those words, he returned to the Western Army this time to save the sky!
With this ambition and pride, he naturally refused to take a corner of the Dengzhou Navy, and even had a little contempt for Wu Kai's plan to escape overseas - after all, he still didn't know Wu Kai's real plan.
And Wu Kai hesitated for a long time in the past few days, but after all, he still didn't have a showdown with him, unlike the helpless Yue Fei, this Han Shizhong is backed by the Western Army, and he is the supervisor of the Dengzhou Navy sent by the imperial court, and he is not as important as Yue Fei - in case of a showdown, he resolutely refuses to 'help and abuse', whether he kills or stays, it will have a huge impact on Wu Kai's plan.
Anyway, he already has Yue Fei under his command, so there is no need to force this Han Shizhong, let's let him go!
ββThe dividing line leaving Dengjuββ
However, it is said that on the seventh day of the second month, they left Dengzhou Wharf, went north along the coast, and received nearly 1,000 'immigrants' in Huanghua, Hebei, and then the fleet officially set sail to the east, crossing the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, and arriving in the territory of Goryeo.
Less than a year later, the attitude of the Goryeo people towards the Great Song fleet has taken a turn of nearly 180 degrees, which was originally enthusiastic and flattering, but now it is indifferent and wary.
At first, Wu Kai thought that the news of the Red Turban Army's invasion of Japan had leaked, so that the Goryeo people became wary, but later when he inquired, he found out that this was not the case!
Since last autumn, the news of the Song army's defeat and heavy casualties in the Liao army reached the territory of Goryeo, and the comments of the government and the opposition of the Goryeo Kingdom on the Great Song Dynasty suddenly took a sharp turn.
The truth that 'a weak country has no diplomacy' is vividly displayed here, and the Korean people's character of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and stepping on the low when they are high is also clearly exposed.
In this regard, Wu Kai has only one idea: before Tu Jin destroys the Song Dynasty, kill these Goryeo sticks first!
On February 26, after nearly 20 days of wandering, the fleet finally arrived at Tsushima Island, successfully joined Zhang Shun, who remained on the island, and learned from him the details and results of Lin Dengwan's raid on Heianjing.
In the winter of the fourth year of Xuanhe, on the second day of the lunar month, Lin Dengwan led more than 1,000 soldiers to land in Hequan Kingdom, and spread the rumor of 'the Demon King's descent' with Zong Qingwu and other Japanese people leading the way, and then used firearms to deter the Japanese soldiers and civilians along the way, and it took only six days to rush to the vicinity of Heiankyo, the capital of Japan.
Originally, Lin Dengwan was mentally prepared for a hard battle in Heiankyo, but when he arrived near Heiankyo, he realized that the economic, cultural and political center of the entire Japan was not protected by a city wall!
So Lin Dengwan did not hesitate to wave his army and go straight in, capturing Emperor Shirakawa, Emperor Birdyu and nearly 100 relatives of the imperial family, and under the command of Lin Dengwan, he launched a bloody massacre of the nobles in Beijing, and almost all the princely families above the fourth rank suffered a catastrophe.
In just five days, countless belongings were looted, and gold and silver utensils were piled up! [In the Heian period, the nobility of the princess was still very wealthy, and it was only after the shogunate came to power a hundred years later that the samurai class gradually came to the top. γ
On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the guards of various countries near Gyeonggi led their armies, with a total strength of nearly 60,000 people, and surrounded Heiankyo with an overwhelming advantage, but they did not dare to attack easily.
On the fourteenth day of the lunar month, Lin Dengwan released more than a dozen people from the side branches of the royal family, and sent them to the major forces of the reinforcements, and secretly ordered the Japanese people to lead the way to spread rumors, claiming that someone intended to kill the emperor and the French emperor, and then supported the side branches of the royal family in his hands, so as to achieve the ambition of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
This kind of thing has always been 'unspeakable', and after being picked out in advance, even if someone really has such ambitions, they dare not rashly expose it, so the situation fell into a stalemate for more than ten days.
As time went on, the number of coalition troops from all over the country who came to aid the capital exceeded 100,000, and the situation became more and more chaotic.
The thirtieth day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve.
The Red Turban Army suddenly lit fires all over Heianjing, and drove nearly 10,000 Japanese people as the vanguard, breaking through from the northwest, and throwing countless gold and silver utensils along the way, causing the Japanese soldiers and civilians to compete for each other.
Because the Japanese did not expect the Red Turban Army to abandon the original route and return south, they went against the direction of the north, and the heavy troops were stationed in the southwest of Heianjing, so that the Red Turban Army successfully broke out of the encirclement.
For several days after that, whenever a Japanese person engaged in a battle with the Red Turban Army, Lin Dengwan ordered to kill a number of the emperor's relatives and abandon the corpses on the side of the road!
On the sixth day, Emperor Toba's eldest son, Prince Shotoku, was killed, and the Japanese people were terrified that they would not be charged with killing the emperor and the emperor, so they did not dare to threaten him too much.
On the third day of the second lunar month, Lin Dengwan's troops traveled nearly 1,000 miles under the siege and interception of the Japanese people, and finally broke out of the encirclement and arrived in Izumo.
As a result of this battle, Heiankyo, the most prosperous city in Japan, was burned to the ground, and countless soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded, from Prince Shotoku down to Prince Shotoku, and the rule that had been based on the emperor and the minister became fragmented, and the Gyeonggi region was directly plunged into chaos.
And Lin Dengwan, who is the culprit, was also named the 'Sixth Heavenly Demon King' by the Japanese people, stealing the limelight from Oda Nobunaga five hundred years in advance!
