Chapter 405: The Sword Soldiers Flashed Wildly
PS: The second update is 18 o'clock
"Come, Qin'er, eat more, you are busy with the old body today, it is indeed hard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" Chen took a pair of chopsticks for Qiqin, with a kind smile on his face.
Lu Wanyan had just finished giving birth, and her body was still weak, so naturally no one would agree to her going to the ground, when the housewife was not there, Qiqin, who was in charge of the inside and outside of the back house during this period of time, naturally had to accompany the Chen family, and Zhao Yunshu, who was the most honorable, sat on the other side.
And Ye Yingwu and Ye Mengding sat silently opposite the Chen family, obviously for the "confrontation" between the two generations of women of the Ye family, this pair of father and son chose to be surprisingly out of sight, just bowed their heads to eat. Sure enough, as Ye Yingwu expected, after a while, Chen held Qiqin's hand and began to whisper softly, while Qiqin, Zhao Yunshu, Su Niang and Qiong Luan could only listen respectfully.
Ye Yingwu glanced up, and most of the eyes of most people at the dinner table fell on the Chen family, as if they had left the only two generations of the Ye family behind. Hui Niang, who was sitting next to Ye Yingwu, tilted her head slightly and spit out the little **** gently, obviously the posture in front of her also scared her.
Finally couldn't help it, Ye Yingwu leaned over gently: "Dad, mother will continue like thisΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Ye Mengding glanced at Ye Yingwu and shook his head: "You just go with her, your mother has been waiting for this grandson for ten years, how many decades are there in this life?" She couldn't wait. What's more, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing wrong with reproducing more offspring. β
Ye Yingwu was stunned, when he was in Xingzhou, his father fully supported him, and Ye Yingwu's talent and ability were indeed worthy of appreciation, so Ye Mengding had great hopes that this son could grow into a pillar.
It's just that the old man didn't expect that in just one year, Ye Yingwu not only took advantage of the east wind of the Mengsong War to stand at the top of the entire officialdom, but also finally created the Ming Dynasty. Ye Mengding was an official in the former Song Dynasty for most of his life, and naturally he did not want to see the fall of the former Song Dynasty, so although his own son single-handedly replaced this dynasty that condensed his hard work, he was inevitably unhappy, and he was reluctant when he first became the Dazongzheng, and after that, he has been living in the Dazongzheng Mansion and rarely meets Ye Yingwu.
Ye Yingwu had no choice but to follow the old man, after all, this is his biological father, even if he came through time, he actually doesn't have much affection for Ye Mengding, but firstly, Ye Mengding is the founder of his own body, and secondly, Ye Mengding's knowledge and personality are worthy of Ye Yingwu's highest respect.
For Ye Mengding, Wen Tianxiang and they also attach great importance to it, the last time the Mongolian Tartars made trouble in Chenzhou, Wen Tianxiang invited Lu Wanyan to listen to the government, and at the same time, they did not forget to invite Ye Mengding, the great sect.
But in the final analysis, these officials of the new dynasty are still wary of Ye Mengding, after all, Wang Yao, Zhang Jian and others have clearly expressed their support for the new dynasty, and even Jiang Wanli, the former leader of the old dynasty, has no objection to this, but only Ye Mengding has made it clear that he will not cooperate or oppose the attitude, which makes people feel that this old man is stubborn at the same time, but also have to hold one hundred and twenty worries about him.
But today, Ye Mengding's words are already for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, which really makes Ye Yingwu's eyes shine. Could it be that his father finally recognized the reality and changed his ways?
As soon as Ye Mengding wanted to speak, Xiao Yangzi had already rushed in quickly and came to Ye Yingwu's side: "Your Highness Qiqi, Mongolian Tatar Koubian, urgent news from the north!" β
"What?!" Ye Yingwu and Ye Mengding blurted out in surprise at the same time.
Xiao Yangzi nodded solemnly.
Ye Yingwu exhaled lightly, when such a major event was reported to him, it must have been confirmed by the border departments, and nine times out of ten, the two sides had already fought a lot, so it was impossible to lie about the military situation. Moreover, Ye Yingwu's news came through multiple channels such as the local state capital, the local garrison, the six gates, the Jinyi Guard, etc., and it was not so easy to bully the king.
"Without further ado, let Commander Yang come over to see him immediately, and let Wen Songrui, Su Renzhong, Lu Junshi, and Xie Junzhi go to the imperial study immediately." Ye Yingwu Huoran stood up, commanded in a deep voice, and then looked at Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai, who were already coming quickly, "Order all departments in the Hundred Battles to prepare for war at any time!" β
"No!" The three of them answered aloud at the same time, turned and walked away quickly.
And Ye Yingwu's face was gloomy, and while taking the coat and sword handed over by Hui Niang, he gave Yang Xu a look: "Su Niang, let's go!" β
Yang Xu responded, originally she acted for convenience today, just a capable short fight, not like the dress in the back house before, so she didn't have to go back to change her clothes. After all, for the six doors of perennial casual clothes, it is not a dress to recognize, and Yang Xu's deity is much more useful than the token on her waist.
Chen's face also changed slightly, and Xiao Yangzi didn't lower his voice much in a hurry just now, so the old man heard it very clearly, and immediately knocked on the table: "Why is this Mongolian Tartar so short-sighted, coming out to make trouble at this time, isn't this a intention not to make people quiet." β
Unexpectedly, without waiting for Chen to finish speaking, Ye Mengding had already slowly stood up: "Old woman, don't complain." Natural and man-made disasters are not something that can be decided by individuals. β
Then Ye Mengding also walked outside on crutches.
Everyone in the hall stood up, and Chen was a little surprised: "Old man, where are you going?" β
Ye Mengding paused, and said without looking back: "The Tartars are on the side, I don't know what their intentions are, but this is a national war, how can the old man sit idly by?" β
Surprisingly, Chen didn't say much, just silently watched the father and son leave one after another. Qiqin beside him carefully helped the old man to sit down, and just wanted to explain and comfort him, but Chen said with a smile: "The decisive battle with the Mongolian Tatars, this is the old man's wish for many years, and it is also what we old bones who have experienced war want to see the most. β
After a moment of silence, Chen said softly, "Let them two go." β
ββββββββββββββ
Dengzhou.
Dengzhou is an important part of Shandong extending to the sea, and it is also the bridgehead of the northern dynasty to guard against the southern sailors, who must take Dengzhou if they want to harass Youzhou and Liaodong. Therefore, since the Jurchens took control of Jiaodong, they have been strengthening their defenses in Dengzhou, so that for many years, the Southern Song Dynasty sailors can only have limited attacks on Dengzhou.
When Mongolia replaced the Jin State as the overlord of the north, in the face of the increasingly frequent attacks of the Southern Song Dynasty on the sea, Mongolia was also anxious. In the end, if it weren't for Zhang Hongfan who set a trap to annihilate the Jiaozhou sailors of the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, I'm afraid that Mongolia still doesn't know how to deal with this opponent.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, the Jiaozhou Sailors of the Southern Song Dynasty were extinguished, but the Jiaozhou Sailors of the Ming Dynasty were quickly formed, but because the Ming Dynasty has been busy dealing with the South Seas recently, many of the ships of the Jiaozhou Sailors have been dispatched south, so they have not been inconspicuous. However, with the stability of the South Seas, the first thing Ye Yingwu did was to assign all the latest flying clippers and Dabao ships to the Jiaozhou Naval Division, and also drew a detachment to the north in the Southern Oceans, in order to maximize the combat power of the Jiaozhou Naval Division.
Although it is now the time for the two countries to peace, but for the construction of the Jiaozhou Naval Division, Ye Yingwu did not relax in the slightest, and the commander of the Jiaozhou Naval Division was the famous general Sun Huchen who started from following Ye Yingwu. Stir up Shandong, and even take the opportunity to take Jiaozhou, so as to lay the foundation for the Ming Dynasty to drive Youzhou and Liaodong directly with the help of sailors.
Ye Yingwu's trust made Sun Huchen grateful, and he also devoted himself to the construction of the Jiaozhou Water Division. Although Ye Yingwu started as a Lu Shi, after all, the Sailor is the biggest reliance on the successive dynasties in the south, and Ye Yingwu's attention to the Sailor is not less than that of the Lu Division. Although Sun Huchen has never worked hard at sea, he is not facing an enemy at sea, so it is more than enough to prepare for the Jiaozhou Naval Division.
Since the peace talks between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, the Jiaozhou Navy Division has had a more arduous task, that is, to ensure the smooth sea route from Jiangnan, Huainan and even Quanzhou and Lingnan to Dengzhou, and to ensure the safety of the personal and property of the shippers and merchants in Dengzhou City at any time.
The busy scene on the dock in the distance was in full view, Sun Huchen carefully put down his clairvoyance, and sighed with emotion, this thing is really a good thing, but it is said that there are only three in the Ming Dynasty now, one is in His Royal Highness the King of Ming, one is in the commander of the Nanyang Naval Division Zhang Gui, and the other is in his own hands.
From the distribution of this clairvoyance, it can also be seen that His Highness has high expectations for himself, so since he is standing here, he cannot let His Highness down.
Sun Huchen gently rubbed his clairvoyance and looked at the merchant ships coming and going beside the warship. This is the 25th escort of the Jiaozhou Navy Division this month. Sailor ships would wait for convoys of merchant ships from the south from the mouth of the Great River, and then escort them north. This kind of escort is not completely free, after the merchants arrived in Dengzhou, when entering and exiting the concession demarcated for the Ming Dynasty, according to the amount of goods, pay a tax of 1/10,000 to the city, in fact, compared to the profits obtained by the merchants to and from the north and south, this is already very small, to say that such an escort is free, in fact, there is nothing wrong.
And to be able to get the protection of their own country's naval warships is also an honor for the merchants. Of course, this is not just a job of running errands for the sailors, with so many escorts, Sun Huchen has already felt the passage of the passage clearly, and marked it one by one on the chart, naturally it is impossible to be like the previous Southern Song Dynasty Jiaozhou sailors were brought into the ambush circle in a daze, and through clairvoyance and merchant ships, Sun Huchen also ate the inside and outside of Dengzhou's city defense.
Because Dengzhou is not as good as Chenzhou, it is just an ordinary seaside state capital, so Mongolia does not have so much energy to set up internal and external walls in the city to prevent everything, so there is no need for six doors and Jinyi Wei to come forward, Sun Huchen can know the layout of various places in the city.
As long as the battle order came from Nanjing, Sun Huchen dared to guarantee the ticket and take Dengzhou within one day.
The sergeant standing on the mast hanging tray stretched out his hand and pointed to the dock: "General, look, there is a fire!" β
"What?" Sun Huchen was stunned, and immediately quickly picked up his clairvoyance and looked at the dock.
In fact, you don't need clairvoyance to see clearly, billowing black smoke rises, covering half of the dock, and Du Yuhou, who was standing behind Sun Huchen, took a breath lightly: "It's the city ship's side, and this smoke is Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· It's wolf smoke. β
"Ships depart!" Sun Huchen casually put away the clairvoyance, pressed the railing, and roared.
The drums of war were beating, and in the harbor that was panicked by the billowing wolf smoke, ten large ships slowly moved forward. The merchant ships on the wharf have been raised one after another the red dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty, the waves are surging, although many merchant ships are panicked and at a loss, but most of the merchant ships are very smart to sail from both sides of the naval warship and hide behind the warship.
The sailor warships that lined up like mountains on the sea were their greatest reliance.
Thick smoke billowed out, and for a while it was impossible to see the specific situation on the pier. Sun Huchen took a breath of cool air gently, although he had been mentally prepared before, but when he faced it directly, he still felt nervous. The wolf smoke rising, coupled with the shouts on the docks, what happened was already predictable to him.
The sailor warship slowly stepped forward, getting closer and closer to the dock, Sun Huchen's general flag was already fluttering in the wind on the mast of the flagship, and the sailor soldiers of the brigade quickly pushed the thunderbolt to the side of the ship, the wind and waves on the sea today are not small, the waves are beating the warship, and ordinary people may even be unstable on the ship. The explosives bag was carefully removed from the cabin, and the shouts of the Dutou and the Marquis echoed on the deck.
Sun Huchen frowned tightly and shouted loudly: "Flying Thunder Cannon prepare!" β
"General, the waves on the sea are strong, and the flying thunder cannon should not be launched at this timeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" One of them looked at Sun Huchen in some surprise.
Stomping his feet, Sun Huchen shouted coldly: "Can you still take care of these now?!" β
Nadu was stunned, and immediately responded and greeted his subordinates. And Sun Huchen ordered loudly: "Meng Chong went forward and went ashore to investigate!" β
ββββββββ-ββββββ-
Cai Qing is just an ordinary sailor head, originally in the Poyang Lake Naval Division, the Poyang Lake Naval Division is just a second-line army in the Southern Song Dynasty Naval Division, in other words, it is a place where the defeated and weak generals are related to the elderly, Cai Qing also thought that maybe he would have to spend his life like this, but who would have thought that everything had changed.
The Poyang Lake Water Division was requisitioned and reorganized into the Xingzhou Water Division, as the vanguard of the Great Song Dynasty facing the Mongolian Xiangyang Army after the Yingzhou Water Division was lost, and the commanders Liu Shiyong and Du Yu Hou Sun Huchen were both powerful generals who had already emerged in the Water Division. And for the training and transformation of this water division, it also completely follows the consistent style of the Tianwu Army, and after a series of painful and even unwilling to recall the hellish tempering, Cai Qing finally became the new recruit of the Xingzhou Water Division.
But at that time, he had just survived the catastrophe, and he didn't know that this was just another starting point in his life. Because the Han River was frozen, the Xingzhou Naval Division had not yet entered the battlefield, and the Xiangyang War had already come to an end, and then the Xingzhou Naval Division, as the main force of Ye Yingwu's start, was stationed in Xiangyang and Ezhou respectively, and at the same time annexed the rest of the Yingzhou Naval Division and the Fan Wenhu Jinghu Naval Division, which had been avoiding the battle in Ezhou, and its strength expanded rapidly.
However, because of the strong strength inherited from the Southern Song Dynasty Sailors, no one had the courage to challenge the majesty of the Xingzhou Sailors, so the Xingzhou Sailors showed their hands during Wen Tianxiang's Northern Expedition, and there were no more opportunities to perform. After Ye Yingwu Dingjiangnan, operating the Jiaozhou Water Division, Sun Huchen was appointed as the commander of the capital, and when he left, Sun Huchen selected a group of grassroots backbones from the Xingzhou Water Division, including Cai Qing, who was promoted to ten generals because of his long time in the army.
Later, with several escort merits, coupled with the continuous expansion of the army, more and more attention was paid to veterans, and Cai Qingping, who had been in the army for a long time, was steadily promoted to the capital.
But in fact, until this moment, it was the first time that Cai Qing and Cai Du faced the war of blood and fire, and just now, he watched a middle-aged man fall in a pool of blood.
And the Xueliang saber that chopped him came from the Mongolian cavalry who broke through the smoke and dust and roared angrily.
"Be quiet for Lao Tzu!" Cai Qing lowered his voice and shouted, making the dozens of soldiers who followed closely behind him whisper. They were now hiding in a remote compound next to the street, and the Mongol cavalry had just rushed through the courtyard gate and had not found the living prey.
The soldiers behind them all subconsciously held their breath.
They also understand that this is not a daily exercise, but a matter of life and death for them. (To be continued.) )
