Hurriedly rushed back to Changle Mansion, Wang Yanjun was already hungry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The location of Jianzhou is extremely important, if the Tang army captures Jianzhou City, it can go east along Jianyang River (Min River) and go directly to Changle Mansion. At this time when the country is in danger, no matter how absurd Wang Yanjun is, he can't help but worry about his own situation.
And the safari has been too far for a few days, and the current military situation is too urgent, so he has rushed for nearly a day, and he can't afford to eat on the way.
Returning to the palace city, which was not as big as a royal palace in Luoyang, Wang Yanjun hurriedly called the minister's henchmen to discuss the strategy of dealing with the Tang army's southward movement.
Wang Yanjun, who was so anxious that he burned his buttocks, paced back and forth in the main hall, and the courtiers who heard the military situation on the front line were almost stunned there with their mouths wide open, and their faces were full of horror.
The old Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials wept sadly: "Before Li Tang destroyed Wu, the minister advised His Majesty to send an envoy to Luoyang to pay tribute to the Tang Emperor and make friends with him. However, His Majesty did not listen, so that there is today's disaster, and now that the Tang army is attacking, how can Damin deal with itself......"
"Why didn't I listen? After Li Siyuan, didn't I send an envoy to pay homage? However, Li Tang wanted me to go to the emperor and go to Luoyang in person...... How can this be done, if I go, will I not fall into the mouth of the tiger? Li Tang's appetite is too big, what can I do! Wang Yanjun felt very wronged.
Lao Shangshu wept and sighed, there was a posture that the sky had collapsed, and he couldn't say some words in his heart, but it was really uncomfortable not to say it. He thought to himself that it wasn't for you to open your mouth to Li Tang Lion and ask for the position of Shang Shuling, and then after Li Tang refused, he fell to Wu State, and even called himself emperor after the destruction of Wu State, where is there today's disaster in Fujian?
Xue Wenjie said: "At present, the Tang army is attacking in a big way, and Jianzhou is in danger, so don't talk about it if it is irrelevant, it is important to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, the strategy of retreating from the enemy is important!" Wang Yanjun nodded again and again, "If the Tang army is allowed to capture Fujian, the glory and wealth in the hands of Zhuqing will disappear, if you don't want to become a prisoner of the Tang army at that time, you must come up with countermeasures now!" ”
The ministers talked a lot, gossiping, and said everything.
However, the number came and went, and it was nothing more than repairing the armor soldiers, reinforcing Jianzhou, defending Changle Mansion, and asking the Tang army for these opinions. Although these are not miracle strategies, most of the time they rely on these strategies to repel and retreat from the enemy, and it is important to put them in place. However, Wang Yanjun was not satisfied, he was not a fool, the Tang army had destroyed Liangchuan, Jianghuai, and Hunan within a few years, and even the Wu State had destroyed him, where was the Min army that could stop it?
Wang Yanjun was not satisfied, so he couldn't help but get angry and scold everyone for being incompetent. Everyone really has no good strategy, and they also know that there is a huge disparity in strength, and they are already worried, and being scolded by Wang Yanjun is even more uneasy. In such a vicious circle, the atmosphere in the palace was really chaotic, and the monarchs and ministers were in a mess, and they were in a hurry.
In the end, it was Xue Wenjie's words that made Wang Yanjun's heart settle down.
Xue Wenjie said solemnly: "Although the Tang army is attacking in a big way, it is not a catastrophe for Damin. You must know that the mountains and rivers of Fujian are vertical and horizontal, and the roads remain unchanged, so it is not easy for the Tang army to enter Changle, as long as we can hold Jianzhou, there are 100,000 people, what can I do? ”
"Please ask Your Majesty to repair the armor and the warriors of the curtain to reinforce Jianzhou, and at the same time impose martial law on Changle. As long as our army holds Jianzhou, it will be difficult for the Tang army to advance an inch. And because the army and people of Damin know the terrain, and the Tang army is bound to be unfamiliar with this, once Jianzhou can hold on for a period of time, His Majesty will send warriors out of the mountain road, attack it in separate units, or cut off its grain route, then the Tang army will be defeated! ”
"Your Majesty is ordered by heaven and obeys the people's hearts, and the throne is the emperor, as long as Your Majesty is determined to resist the enemy, I can get 100,000 warriors in Damin! As long as His Majesty shows his ambition and vows to live and die with Damin, Damin will be able to have an indestructible Great Wall! ”
"At this time, Your Majesty also needs to send an envoy to Lingnan to form an alliance with Liu Yan, if you can invite the Han army, then the momentum of the Great Min will rise, and it is not difficult to defend the country. And if the Tang army can be defeated, the division of the King of Great Min may not be able to go out of Fujian, take the opportunity to cross Wuyi Mountain in the west, and enter Wudi. Not long after Li Tang got the land of Wu, the foundation was not stable, if the Great Min got the land of Wu, he would be able to come out of the world! ”
Wang Yanjun listened to Xue Wenjie's words, and his spirits were greatly lifted, these words were "every word", but they all spoke to his heart, and he couldn't help but praise again and again, "I just said, my Da Min is not fish and meat, how can I let others handle it?" How can once the enemy invade, he has no power to deal with and counterattack? Xue Qing's words are in harmony with my heart! ”
At this time, someone spoke: "If the Tang Army sends sailors and goes straight to Changle, how can Damin stop it?" ”
Xue Wenjie's old god was saying: "Isn't there only the Tang Army in this world that has a water division?" I also have hundreds of sailor ships in Damin! As long as the mouth of the Mawei River is guarded, how can the Tang army enter? ”
After hearing this, Wang Yanjun held Xue Wenjie's hand and said with feeling: "Xue Qing's words are really a strategy for the country, I didn't see the wrong person!" He praised his good life, and let the ministers take him as a model.
Xue Wenjie finally invited himself to enter the Han Dynasty, went to persuade Liu Yan to form an alliance with Fujian, and asked Liu Yan to send an army to help. Wang Yanjun was naturally greatly relieved by this, and there was no reason not to agree.
When he left the palace, Xue Wenjie walked briskly and walked in the front, completely ignoring the discussions of the people behind him.
The ministers walked together and came together to poke Xue Wenjie's backbone, "Such thieves are flattering, and rely on flattery to gain Your Majesty's trust." On weekdays, he will only meet the will of the king, in order to please His Majesty, there is no moral integrity at all, and there are many strategies to bring disaster to the country and the people, completely ignoring the Li Min Sheji. And he himself relied on His Majesty's favor, seized power many times, took bribes on a large scale, and caused the government and the opposition to complain, and now His Majesty has asked me to take him as a model, which is really ridiculous and pathetic! ”
The old Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials cried sadly: "Don't say a few words. Now that the Tang army is attacking, it is the time of the national crisis, and His Majesty still needs the joint assistance of all the princes to lead the Great Min through the current crisis, and must not fight among themselves at this time! ”
"The old book is noble!" Although the ministers praised in their mouths, they actually had their own thoughts in their hearts, but they basically had no ambition to die for the Fujian State.
As soon as he stepped into the mansion, he called the steward of the mansion and asked them to quickly pack up the gold and silver and prepare to leave Changle Mansion.
His wife hurried over, "What are you going to do?" ”
"The Tang army is coming, and it has fallen into several places, and Damin is about to come to a catastrophe! You didn't hear any movement? Changle is under martial law! Didn't I hurry up and pack my things so I could take you out! Xue Wenjie explained.
After listening to Xue Wenjie's story, his wife panicked, "But you are a close minister of Your Majesty, since Changle has been under martial law, how can Your Majesty allow you to escape at this time?" ”
Xue Wenjie suddenly became proud when he heard this, "Ordinary people, etc., can't get out of the city at this time, but who am I?" I will go out of the city, and no one will dare to stop me, and whoever dares to stand in my way, I will break his legs! ”
After speaking, seeing that his wife was stunned, Xue Wenjie became more and more proud, "Let me tell you the truth, I have asked Your Majesty for my life, go to Guangzhou to form an alliance with Liu Yan and move rescue troops, at this time, you say that I want to go out of the city, who would dare to stop me?" ”
The wife was stunned, "Husband...... The husband is really wise and powerful! ”
Xue Wenjie was complimented, and he was even more complacent, "That's not it!" Who made you follow such a beloved as me? This time to Guangzhou, if the war in Fujian goes well, you and I will come back, and when the time comes, I will move Liu Yan to form an alliance with His Majesty, and your husband and I will not be a great hero? If the war in Fujian does not go well, you and I naturally don't have to come back, the silver money I have obtained over the years is enough for you and me to be inexhaustible for several lifetimes! ”
Speaking of this, Xue Wenjie said with a smile: "I told Your Majesty that I will go to Guangzhou to say that Liu Yan will form an alliance with my Damin, and it is necessary to bribe Liu Yan's ministers, Your Majesty believes it, and also approved me thousands of taels of gold, and after I go to the household department tomorrow to withdraw it, I will bring it with me!" ”
The five bodies admired by his wife fell to the ground.
After Xue Wenjie left Changle Mansion, Wang Yanjun immediately increased his troops to establish a state, and at the same time recruited warriors to defend the national capital.
However, after two days, there were very few young people recruited, and there were less than 100 people!
This is because since Wang Yanjun took power, he has acted absurdly, brutally, and unpopularly, and now no one in Changle is willing to die for him. In addition, the people knew that this time it was the Tang army, where did they dare to enlist and go to the front line to fight with the Tang Jingjia? Isn't that a death! The people of Pingtou may not know the sun and the moon, but the Tang Dynasty pacified Jianghuai and Hunan and conquered the Wu State, but it had already spread in the market.
-- The spies of the Military Intelligence Department have long spread the remarks that the Tang Dynasty is strong and unparalleled, and Wang Shi is brave and invincible, so as to break the fighting spirit of the military and civilians in Fujian.
Of course, Wang Yanjun will not think that something is wrong with him, things are not going well, others have offended him, how many people will not think about dealing with things and dealing with others at this time, will they come to compete with themselves and find their own unhappiness? What's more, it's Wang Yanjun.
So Wang Yanjun ordered the sergeants to forcibly recruit young men into the army, but all men of school age, those who dare not be conscripted, will be killed, those who dare to hide the men of school age at home will be killed, and those who dare to use various means to escape from the city will be killed.
For a while, there was a lot of trouble inside and outside Changle City, and many innocent people died on the streets - some unscrupulous officials and generals have long coveted the wealth of some businessmen and big households, and at this time they took the opportunity to slander the other party for disobeying the emperor's orders, and immediately killed people and seized money, anyway, Wang Yanjun has no intention of investigating in detail at the moment.
After tossing for a few days, Wang Yanjun finally got tens of thousands of people. It's just that the morale of these tens of thousands of people, it's hard to say.
Not only that, Wang Yanjun also released the prisoners in the prison and filled the army.
But before Wang Yanjun could train the new soldiers and sense the dissatisfaction of the soldiers and civilians with him, a military report shocked him and was dumbfounded.
The Tang army besieged Jianzhou, and within two days, Jianzhou surrendered.
The military newspaper said that the catapults of the Tang army were particularly powerful, and after only half a day, the city towers, corner towers, and city walls were seriously damaged, and the defenders suffered countless casualties.
Wang Yanjun was frightened, and in annoyance, he ordered that the family members and relatives of the Jianzhou assassin and the guard general in Changle were all arrested, and they were executed one by one on the streets of the city at noon.
At this time, Wang Yanjun still thought: If you don't know my heavenly might, you won't know how to die for me.
That night, Wang Yanjun, who was full of anger, tossed for most of the night, and fell asleep when it was almost dawn. But not long after closing his eyes, before he arrived, Wang Yanjun was woken up, and before he could get angry, the words of the city defense guard were like giving him a basin of cold water to wake him up.
"The Tang Army's naval division has entered the mouth of the Mawei River and is attacking our naval division in a big way!"
"How much is the Tang Army's sailor? Can the ponytail be kept? ”
"From Mawei to the mouth of the Minjiang River, there are all ships of the Tang Army's naval division, there are countless as many as a few zhang, and more than 100 zhang are more than 100, such as a city like a forest...... I'm afraid that our army's sailors can't stop it! ”
Wang Yanjun was stunned for a long time.
Hurriedly left the palace, and after Wang Yanjun stood on the city wall and looked to the east of the Min River, he was immediately speechless.
The Min River in front of Changle Mansion is far less wide than the big river in the east of Yangzhou. However, this place in Mawei is the place where the tributaries meet, and if you ignore the tidal flats and small islands in the middle of the river, the widest part is more than five miles, and the longest point is more than ten miles.
Such a vast area is now full of ships and ships of the two armies at war.
The ships and warships of the Tang Army's naval divisions are generally taller and stronger than the Minjiang naval divisions, and they are constantly coming in. Moreover, the officers and men of the Tang Army were all brave, and the military order, tens of millions of people fought forward, and they did not dare to look back.
"Your Majesty! The Tang Army's horse infantry army has more than 10,000 people, and they have landed east of Mawei and are rushing towards Changle City! "An envoy has come to report.
"Tang Army Sailor...... How can you let the soldiers go ashore while fighting? ”
"The Tang Army's sailors did not have any soldiers and horses to land at this time, and these horses should have landed in the distance last night!"
Wang Yanjun was stunned, wanting to cry without tears, seeing that the Tang army was killing in a big way, he was brave, and remembered that Jianzhou had been broken and Changle was in danger, so he couldn't suppress the fear in his heart and shouted: "Escort, escort!" I'm leaving Changle, I'm going to Quanzhou! ”
