Chapter 701: Hunt and Kill
readx;
The belief of the most important soldier on the battlefield, especially in the era of cold weapons, requires soldiers to have the courage to face their opponents and fight to the death in order to win the war. When the Dongying people no longer believe that victory belongs to them, don't say that their comprehensive combat ability is far from that of the Song army, even if they are on par, they are only left to be cut down by their opponents.www.biquge.info
The Song army behind was still chasing, and those musketeers finally showed that they were stronger than crossbowmen at this time, that is, the carrying of iron sand and gunpowder was far more convenient than carrying crossbow arrows.
The Song army didn't have any formation anymore, and those soldiers were chasing the targets in their eyes, reloading and shooting themselves as they ran. Some people even dislike the musket being too troublesome, hang the musket on their bodies, pull out the long knife behind their backs, and rush straight up to slash and kill.
If the Dongying people can return to fight at this time, then it is very likely to change the course of the war, at least to make their casualties smaller.
But now they just want to run faster, at least faster than their companions. Even Emperor Tsunhito was swept away by the crowd and fled to the back. At first, he still passively followed the flow of people, but slowly, the panic around him continued to spread, and with the screams, Zunren's inner fighting spirit also collapsed.
Run, you can't go to Kyoto, as long as you can run back to Hokkaido again, you still have a chance.
Chen Yuan had forgotten the troubles of the musket team not getting enough opportunities to perform, and with a smile on his face, he now had a special sense of accomplishment. This time was different from the last time, the last time he could let some of the remnants of the Dongying people continue to hold on, because the time had not yet come to completely conquer the Dongying.
But this time it was different, when the Song army was fighting against Zunren, the last group of resisters, more than 30,000 young men and women who were originally from Dongying were responsible for transporting supplies for the Song army.
When the situation on the battlefield suddenly appeared in favor of the Song army, those Dongying people, including the two Dongying women beside Chen Yuan, all had smiles on their faces.
Chen Yuan knew that this was because Zunren had slaughtered these people when he came back, and if the last time the Song army defeated Dongying to support Tsushima still made some people have illusions about their former emperor, then this time, Zunren personally wielded the knife in his hand and cut off the last respect of these people for the name of emperor.
Zeng Gongliang also saw it clearly on the side, and said to Chen Yuan with his fists: "Congratulations to Master Ma for making great contributions again." ”
Chen Yuan laughed: "I don't care about the great merit or anything, and the emperor will not give me a promotion." But this place will be of great benefit to us. ”
He pushed the Dongying woman in his arms away and stood up: "Lord Zeng, do you know what the biggest problem our Great Song is facing now? ”
Zeng Gongliang thought for a while: "The most controversial thing in the court now is the matter of establishing the prince, does it have anything to do with this?" ”
Chen Yuan looked at him, this guy was thinking too far, and he didn't have a relationship between Dongying and Prince Renzongli, Chen Yuan is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he is very aware of the current situation in the Great Song Dynasty, on the surface, it seems to be thriving, a prosperous scene, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment.
But in fact, there is already a tendency for new contradictions to erupt.
Hesitating Chen Yuan's thrust, the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty developed very quickly, and now there is a situation that Chen Yuan is very worried about, that is, those merchants in the Song Dynasty have actually begun to enclose land!
Just when he went back last time, he got two pieces of news, one was that Ma Chang bought 5,000 acres of fertile land on the land that originally belonged to the Liao State under the Song army! What's more, those businessmen actually supported Wang Anshi's Spring and Autumn Society, and supported those students to go to the court and talk about national policies. Among those suggestions given to Renzong by the Spring and Autumn Academy, Chen Yuan could hear the voices of those merchants.
They're a little impatient, and that's not a good thing. At least in Chen Yuan's opinion, it is not a good thing, and later when capitalism developed, it was also enclosed, and the history of blood and tears of the common people is also innumerable. Although Chen Yuan was a businessman, he did not like the capitalist countries of Europe.
As far as the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty is concerned, if that set is developed, it will inevitably cause very serious consequences. Capitalism has never developed in China's history, and the fundamental reason is that the Han people's thousands of years of Confucian culture have a strong rejection of that practice.
If it were the Qing Dynasty, Chen Yuan would have thought that he would have to use that method, because the whole world was using it. But now it is the Song Dynasty, and now the Song Dynasty is a country at the forefront of the world, and there is no need to learn those capitalist rules, because the current Great Song Dynasty has enough conditions to be the one who makes the rules.
The behavior of businessmen must be suppressed, and Chen Yuan's concept is that the chamber of commerce should be in business, and businessmen should make money their duty. As for wanting the imperial court's policies to be more favorable to merchants, you can tell the imperial court what you want through appropriate channels.
However, how to deal with national politics is a matter of the state, and it is a matter that must take into account the interests of the majority of the people in the Great Song Dynasty, and this needs to be weighed by the specialized personnel of the state, and no interest group can forcibly interfere with its own ideas, including businessmen and scholars.
Also, Chen Yuan is from the 21st century, when China was full of high-rise buildings, and it was more difficult to find a clear river than to go to the moon. The current Great Song Dynasty is a pleasant scene with green mountains and green waters, birds singing and flowers.
Chen Yuan didn't want to destroy all this, the merchants' enclosure may be because they really need it now, but they can't deprive their children and grandchildren of nature because of their own needs.
Chen Yuan had already thought that when the affairs of the Liao State were done well and the hegemony of the Great Song Dynasty was completely established, he would lead the merchants to go out of the inland to build that island chain, and establish the industrial base of the Great Song Dynasty in the most marginal area of the Great Song Dynasty, and the inland would be some commercial and technological workshops.
Using those islands as the industrial base of the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be a multi-pronged thing. First of all, it can ensure the control of these islands in the Song Dynasty, and the transportation of industry is much more convenient, and it can also stimulate the development of the navigation industry of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also environmentally friendly.
Now Chen Yuan doesn't have any industry under his name, but it doesn't matter, as long as he wants, he can build his own industrial kingdom on any island, and there is no problem with any project.
When the time comes, I will bring my wife and son together, no longer care about those troublesome things, do business in a down-to-earth manner, and look at the sea when I have time, thinking that it is a happy thing. Really, trading is no longer a matter of making money for Chen Yuan, but his hobby.
If a person wants to do business in a down-to-earth manner, he must ensure that no one provokes you, and you do not provoke others. And to ensure that all businessmen can do business in a down-to-earth manner, it is necessary to make the Great Song Dynasty strong, and no one dares to provoke the Great Song Dynasty.
Chen Yuan looked at the Dongying people fleeing in front of him, and knew that the land under his feet was not far from becoming the first overseas industrial base of the Great Song Dynasty.
Zunhito's heart became more and more panicked, he had been hunted down many times by the Song Dynasty army and the so-called Tsushima army in Hokkaido, but at that time he always had fighting spirit and hope.
This time, for some reason, he suddenly felt as if there was no end in sight. The Dongying people were already running very hard, but the legs and feet of the Song army behind were obviously longer than their Dongying people, and the Dongying people were constantly caught up by the Song army and cut down to the ground.
Zunhito was helpless about this, he also wanted to take care of it, but he couldn't manage it now, the only thing the current emperor could do was to run with these soldiers.
There is a wooden bridge over the river in front of me, and if I can cross it and tear it down, I should be able to delay it for a while.
As if he had suddenly seen a glimmer of hope in the night, he hurried to the bridge. There were obviously many Dongying people who thought the same way as him, and in an instant, the wooden bridge was crowded with people, and some were even squeezed down from it.
Zunren struggled to squeeze across the bridge, and looked around, not a single guard could be found, but it didn't matter, the hardships in Hokkaido had taught Zunren how to do it himself!
He pulled out the knife at his waist and slashed at the bridge with all his might.
This action obviously reminded the Dongying people who had already rushed over, and they understood what Zunren meant in an instant, and they ran to help one by one.
Those who hadn't squeezed over the bridge yet, or who were still on the other side, scolded and cursed, completely ignoring Zunren's identity.
Zunren ignored them, and those who shouted and scolded as soon as they crossed this bridge, they immediately stopped scolding and joined the ranks of cutting down the bridge. This is the surname of the person, in the crisis, everyone wants to live longer.
More and more people rushed over, more and more people cut the bridge, and the weight of the people on the bridge also exceeded the load, but after a moment's effort, but when I heard a "boom", the whole bridge collapsed.
The people on the bridge fell into the water one after another, and those who could swim were better, while some people who didn't know the water surname began to struggle desperately. The expressions of the Dongying people on both sides of the strait were also different, and those who came over showed relaxed expressions, and those guys who didn't come looked dead, and they were desperate.
Zunren had just taken a breath when he heard a sudden sound of horses' hooves next to him, and a group of cavalry of the Song army was killing them!
There were only a few dozen of these Song soldiers, and there were large groups of people following them, but those people looked far away, and the figures were just shaking black dots in Zunren's eyes.
At this time, if the Dongying people dared to resist with swords, they would definitely have a chance to kill these Song light cavalry. Originally, the intention of these cavalry to attack was to drag the Dongying people and drag the army behind to come, and they rushed over with a sacrificial attitude.
But what these cavalry didn't expect was that when those Dongying people saw them rushing towards them, they turned around and ran, all they had to do was to rush into the crowd and slash the enemy.
Occasionally, a few people turn around to resist when they see that they can't run away, but it's too late.
The Dongying people were even more chaotic, they could still consciously run in one direction in the previous chaos, but when this group of Song cavalry entered, more than 10,000 people who crossed the river immediately scattered and fled.
More than 10,000 people, pursued by more than 40 cavalry. It's not that the cavalry of the Song army is strong, it's just that the Dongying people no longer have the courage to face the Song army.
