In the late October of the third year of Huangyou, the weather was already very cold, which indicated that the warm winter that Yelu needed was destined to be just a dream, and when he was in the land of Dongying, the cold also brought disaster to the people here. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The war destroyed their homeland, and countless refugees gathered on the island of Kyushu, who, like the Liao people, lacked clothes and food, and even did not even have a grass hut to shelter from the wind and rain. But they have one more thing than Liao, and that is hope.

Ji Xin announced in the name of the emperor of Tsushima that from today on, the entire Tsushima will be thrown into the arms of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Tsushima Kingdom will cease to exist in the future.

The national mood and the so-called samurai spirit of the entire Toei have been wiped out in recent years, and they want to live and leave the war, even if it is like a dog losing their dignity. As for those with a little bit of blood, they are already dead.

So no one objected to this proposal, because they knew that once Tsushima became Yingzhou, it meant that they were also Song people, and it was impossible for the Song emperor to ignore his own life or death.

Sure enough, the Song Dynasty used the fastest speed to transfer a batch of grain and clothing from Goryeo.

Then, Chen Yuan's fleet docked, and the group of soldiers stepped down from the big boat, and their arrival made the hearts of the refugees who had fled to Kyushu very happy, because it meant that the war might be over.

Chen Yuan brought 10,000 people over this time, and originally he said that 5,000 was enough, but Renzong was afraid that his so-called new tactics would not be able to win the war, so he sent him an additional 5,000 people.

Ji Xin and a group of ministers of Tsushima had already been waiting at the dock, standing respectfully in the cold wind. Seeing Chen Yuan's shadow, Ji Xin immediately greeted him: "Master Ma, it can be regarded as looking forward to you." ”

As soon as Chen Yuan looked at Ji Xin, he knew that this kid had lived a very nourishing life for a period of time, not only his waist had become thicker, but his face was also full of red light.

"Hehe, Brother Ji, the water and soil in Dongying seem to be quite supportive, and your life seems to be good during this period."

Ji Xin smiled on his face, and said in his mouth: "It's okay, everything is taken care of by the master of the horse." It's just,"

His eyes glanced at Chen Yuan's face, and then continued to ask, "Master Horse, after I go back this time, how does the emperor plan to arrange for me?" ”

"Don't worry, the emperor will prepare a prince for you, and in Bianjing in the future, the lower officials will have to count on Prince Ji to take care of it." After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he bowed to Ji Xinyi, Ji Xin just hurriedly dodged away, and reached out to hold Chen Yuan's arm: "Oh, don't kill me!" ”

Chen Yuan was also joking, and took advantage of the situation: "Where is the army of Emperor Toei Zunren now?" ”

"We only have this part of Kyushu Island left now, and the rest is occupied by Nazunren."

"Isn't that a trip back a few years ago?"

"It's different, although he has conquered the territory, maybe there are some people there who are not so loyal to him, this time he has completely cut some people to our side with his own knife, as long as we can let these people on Kyushu Island survive this winter, then he will be finished."

Chen Yuan walked forward as he listened, Ji Xin followed closely behind him, and the so-called king of Tsushima was now standing a little overwhelmed, as if he was a completely superfluous person, Chen Yuan didn't even look at him out of the corner of his eye.

"After the emperor decreed that Kyushu Island became Yingzhou, those Dongying people didn't fight anymore, they stopped outside, and sent people to negotiate with us, people are now in my mansion, do you want to see him?"

Didn't fight again? It seems that Nazunren is still very tough in politics. Now if he continues to attack Kyushu Island, it will be a direct attack on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Song army will have enough reason to directly intervene in the war.

"What are they going to talk about?"

"That envoy said that Kyushu Island has always been their territory in Dongying, and it is very unreasonable for the Great Song Dynasty to turn this place into Yingzhou."

The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth flashed with a sneer, this trick of the Dongying people did not hide from his eyes, Kyushu Island has become a fact, and when Emperor Ren is now incapable of challenging the Great Song Dynasty, he can only accept this fact.

The reason why he sent people to talk about the issue of Kyushu Island was because he wanted the Song army to stop on Kyushu Island. If the Song Dynasty sent someone to talk to him, the ending would definitely be like this. But Chen Yuan is now like Yelu Gollum treats Xiao Tatari the same, don't talk about anything, use my way, my rules to deal with the problems between us.

"There's no need to see him, our knives have already been sharpened, how can we take them away because he retracted his neck? You immediately announced to the outside world that from now on, Kyushu Island is Yingzhou of the Great Song Dynasty, and Honshu Island is the border state of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Ji Xin knew that there was nothing to talk about, so Chen Yuanshou made a move back: "I even brought the Zhizhou Lord from the border state, have you seen it?" He is not as familiar with the situation here as you are, and there are some things that he needs you to help him with. ”

It was Wu Hao who walked behind Chen Yuan, and now it should be Wu Tianqi. Wu Tianqi is the magistrate of the Great Song Dynasty, he is very satisfied with this position, as a party minister who once helped Li Yuanhao, the Song Dynasty can allow him to use another identity to meet people again, and also make arrangements for his life and social status, he is grateful.

And he has been cautious in the position of the magistrate in recent years, and he did not dare to make mistakes.

Wu Tianqi originally thought that he might have to be a magistrate for the rest of his life, but who knew that this time Chen Yuan found him again and entrusted him with a heavy task.

His heart was really excited, because he was a restless man himself.

After Ji Xin and Wu Tianqi greeted each other, Chen Yuan smiled at Wu Tianqi: "Brother Wu, this time it was the emperor who personally ordered your name, and now it is Zhizhou first, if you do it well, when we finish all the things in Dongying, we will set up a mansion here, and you are the emperor's favorite prefect." ”

Magistrate? That's a second-class official of the imperial court. The emperor personally ordered himself? Wu Tianqi could hardly believe it.

Chen Yuan saw his expression and knew what he was thinking, and immediately said: "Long live us is very holy, he knows that you have done very well in the past few years, and he will not care about what you have done before." This is the opportunity that Banzai gives you, Brother Wu take advantage of it. ”

Wu Tianqi had a heartfelt emotion at this time, thanks to Renzong, thanks to Chen Yuan! His excited expression was beyond words, and Chen Yuan only smiled slightly.

This kind of person is the standard one who can share prosperity and prosperity, but cannot share in sorrow. He thanked Renzong because Renzong gave him a chance, if Renzong couldn't give him a chance, he would definitely do it a second time if he betrayed Li Yuanhao under the right conditions.

Chen Yuan didn't stay here long. The news of the arrival of the Song army must have prepared the Dongying people, and the first battle of their musket team was about to start. There was no bullishness for this force. Because judging from the current armament of the Great Song Dynasty, this musket is a piece of garbage.

A well-trained crossbowman can accurately hit a target a hundred paces away, and can shoot one or two crossbow arrows between breaths on average. But the musket is different, there is a quasi-head within fifty steps, a hundred steps, then you can't hit anywhere you see, it depends on whether the iron sand is willing to go.

Moreover, a musketeer had to go through many steps from loading to firing, and in actual combat, the most skilled musketeers of the Song army now shot a full twenty times slower than the crossbowmen.

It's still time for training, on the battlefield, and those uncertainties are more.

Also, muskets are subject to a lot of restrictions, they can't be exposed to the sun, they can't get wet. In short, not only those scholars, but also military generals like Di Qing also thought that this musket was nothing for the people to hunt, and when it was equipped with troops, it was an expensive toy.

Everyone didn't understand, but Chen Yuan still insisted on continuing to make this toy, and found an opportunity to experiment with the surname of this toy. Because he knew very well that if one day this toy was ready, he would bring war into the age of firearms once and for all.

Chen Yuan let the musketeers play in Dongying, which was carefully considered.

The current musket had just taken shape, and Chen Yuan didn't have the courage to take it to the battlefield of Liao to try it. Because the soldiers of the Liao State are all cavalry, the speed is extremely fast, the cumbersome loading of muskets and the instability of accuracy are destined to the musket team if it encounters the Liao cavalry at present, it will inevitably fail.

The villagers were then told that they relied on muskets rather than terrain, and muskets were just tools for their assistance.

But the Dongying people were different, the Dongying people had no cavalry in the first place, and the speed of the two legs was enough for the musket team to have ample chance to load. Also, the fighting quality and weapons and equipment of these Dongying people are a lot worse than the Song army, even if they are allowed to rush to their side, the Song army can draw their swords and fight.

More than 5,000 musketeers had already disembarked from the ship, each holding the musket that looked like a toy in the eyes of other Song soldiers, with gunpowder bags and iron sand bags pinned to their waists, helmets on their heads, and long knives behind their backs.

They are also holding their breath one by one, and the Song army has been fighting until now, and they have always been spectators. Finally got their chance to make the game, and they were desperate to prove themselves.

Chen Yuan watched the team assemble, turned to Ji Xin and said, "Okay, I'm leaving, I'll leave the matter here to you and Lord Wu, and when I catch that Zunren, we can go back to the Great Song Dynasty together." ”

Ji Xin was stunned for a moment: "Why is the master of the horse so anxious?" Although Dongying is poor now, when I heard that the horse master is here, he has also prepared a table of wine and food, so why don't you leave tomorrow? ”

Chen Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "Lord Ji, we still have a chance in the future." But what kind of Zunren is Dongying, I have really missed him for a long time! ”

Sonhito was now in Kyoto, and when he received the news of the Song army's landing, he immediately mobilized all his troops, intending to defeat the Song army by virtue of numerical superiority. If he can do it, he will break the image of the Song army as strong in the minds of the Dongying people.

Of course, it would be best if he could catch Chen Shimei and cut off his head to avenge his father.

Chen Shimei seemed to be a little careless this time, the Song army's actions were no longer as fast as the last time, on the contrary, the 10,000 Song troops walked very slowly, only marching more than 40 miles a day.

By the time the Song army walked out of Kyushu Island, it was already twenty days later, which gave Zunren enough time to deploy troops and set traps.

When he had done everything well, Chen Yuan came with 10,000 soldiers. Zunren saw his chance to defeat the Song army.
