Chapter 398: Cochin Invasion
Yang Yi was dressed neatly and walked out in a hurry, but he was very puzzled in his heart, what happened to make Liu Qingjing hold a meeting in the political hall overnight?
First of all, Yang Yi ruled out the Liao Kingdom and the Western Regions, if there was a sudden change in the Liao Kingdom or the Western Regions, Yang Yi would never receive the news slower than the Imperial Palace. Could it be another flood or an earthquake?
In the front hall, the chamberlain Li Ying waited anxiously, sliding back and forth in the hall.
"Grandpa Li, what happened?"
"Ouch, Scholar Yang, you can figure it out, hurry up, the Queen Mother urgently ordered Scholar Yang to enter the palace to discuss matters, let's talk while walking."
Liu Ying pulled him and walked out, the two got into the car, and Liu Ying replied: "Scholar Yang, our family knows very little, it is rumored that the Jiaozhi State has raised troops to attack, and they are about to hit Liuzhou." ”
"Cochin?"
Yang Yi was surprised, he didn't expect that it was the monkey from the south who came to stir up trouble again, there were many countries around the Great Song Dynasty, and after the signing of the Lanyuan Alliance, there was no big war between Song and Liao. But there are still two-stirring sticks, which have been disturbing the Great Song Dynasty, one is the Western Xia, and the other is the monkey in the south.
In the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1009), Li Gongyun, the former commander of the left guard palace of the former Li Dynasty, took advantage of the death of the Emperor of the Li Dynasty, the prince was young, and the younger brothers of the Emperor of the Li Dynasty, Li Mingti and Li Mingchang, usurped the throne and established the Li Dynasty.
The grievances between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty should be counted from the seventh year of Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu, when Li Gongyun used the excuse of the Great Song Dynasty to shield the fugitives from Jiaozhi and led troops to invade the territory, and then Li Gongyun and his successors repeatedly violated the territory, and the territory of the Great Song Dynasty was also encroached upon.
The largest war between the two sides took place in the eighth year of Xining.
In the sixth year of Xining (1073), Shen Qiyin and his successor Liu Yi successively served two terms as the governor of Guizhou (Guilin) according to the Baojia Law to collect Shiding and practice diligently. As a result, the ministers of Jiaozhi were uneasy, believing that the Song Dynasty was about to attack, and Li Changjie, the general of the Li Dynasty, suggested a preemptive strike and was allowed.
In November of the seventh year of Xining, Li Changjie and Zong Kang divided their troops into two routes, waterways and attacked Guangxi. In order to make the division famous, Li Jun went around and said that China was a young seedling and a method of helping to serve in the army, and the poor people were sent to save each other.
On December 30 and February 1 of the following year, Li Changjie broke through Qin and Lian Prefectures in succession, killing more than 8,000 people. In the end, Li and Zong surrounded Yongzhou.
Yongzhou Zhizhou Su Mian led the crowd to hold on. At that time, the Yongzhou army was only 2,800 people, and Su Mian managed to recruit troops, barely 4,000 people. The enemy flying ladder is near the city, Su Mu uses a torch, and the flying ladder cannot be approached; The enemy shot him with poisonous arrows, and the dead in the city piled on each other. Su Mian bowed his hair with a divine arm, and there were many casualties in the enemy's elephant army. The enemy was 100,000, and he could not attack for more than 40 days.
During this period, Liu Yi of Guizhou ordered Zhang Shoujie, the capital supervisor, to lead the army to rescue. However, Zhang Shoujie was beheaded when he confronted Li Changjie.
Yongzhou was desperate and became an isolated city.
After a long period of attack, Li Changjie used the characteristics of Zhang Shoujie's subordinates who surrendered to be good at attacking the city to pile up soil bags and climb the city, and Yongzhou fell.
Xining 9 March 1. Yongzhou City lasted a total of 42 days from being besieged to breaking the city.
After the city was broken, Su Mian first asked 36 of his family members to commit suicide, and then he himself set fire to it**. The people in the city felt the righteousness of Su Shu, and none of them were thieves.
Li Jun couldn't find Su Mian, so he went on a killing spree, killing more than 58,000 soldiers and civilians in Yongzhou. In addition to the Qinlian Erzhou people killed before, and no less than 100,000 people were killed in Jiaozhi, Su Mian led the Yongzhou army and civilians to cause great casualties to the Li army in an isolated and helpless situation, killing and wounding more than 15,000 Li soldiers and a large number of war elephants.
In the ninth year of Xining, Shenzong ordered Guo Kui to be the commander, set up a large army to march south, invaded the territory of the Li Dynasty in October, the Song army reached the decisive pass, the Li army lined up to block the elephant array, the Song army shot fiercely with a strong crossbow, cut the elephant's trunk with a long knife, and the elephant was frightened and ran back, but it affected the Li army, and the Li army retreated. The Song army took advantage of the victory and marched towards the Fuliang River.
On December 21, they arrived at the Fuliang River (Red River) and the two armies fought a decisive battle. More than 400 warships of the Li army blocked the waterway in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Song army could not cross the river, so Guo Kui and Zhao Du sent troops to attack the logging and making stone generators.
According to Yanda's suggestion, the secret self-dispatch army set up an ambush in the mountains, gradually reducing the troops, showing weakness and luring the enemy. Li Changjie in the plan, poured tens of thousands of people across the river to attack, the Song army ambushed the troops, foot and cavalry attacked, taking advantage of the moment when its sails were broken, selected elite soldiers to take a raft to attack, defeated the Jiaozhi army, Li Chao Hongzhen Prince and Zhaowen Prince were killed, Zuo Lang General Ruan Gen was captured.
Soon after the Battle of Fuliangjiang, Li Qiande offered a request for peace. At this time, most of the Song army was a northern forbidden army, which was not adapted to the water and soil, the epidemic was epidemic, and most of the dead were killed. Guo Kui expressed that he was "willing to live more than 100,000 lives with one body" and asked the imperial court to order the withdrawal of troops. Shenzong had no choice but to agree to negotiate peace with Jiaozhi.
Thinking of this, Yang Yi felt a lot of emotion in his heart, perhaps every Chinese should remember the name "Su Yi".
Yang Yi thought that his merits were no less than Yue Fei's, and with 4,000 people who were improvised together, he resisted 100,000 enemy troops for 42 days, and only then did he reach the city because of the traitor's plan to the enemy.
After the city was broken, Su Mian was wounded, but he still led the soldiers in a street battle, shouting: "I am a righteous thief!" ”
Outnumbered in the street battle, Su Mian returned to the state government to set himself on fire/immolation, followed by Su Ziming, Su Zizheng, Sun Su Guangyuan, Su Zhiwen and a family of 36 committed suicide and martyrdom, and its heroism was no less than Yue Fei.
Yang Yi was a little depressed in his heart, he picked up the window and looked out, although it was the third watch, the street was still full of lights, and people came and went. Fortunately, Jingmingfang was just east of Miyagi, and the car quickly drove into Xuande Gate.
When Yang Yi jumped out of the car, he happened to see Cai Jing also getting out of another car, and the two of them greeted each other and hurried to the political affairs hall.
The government hall was brightly lit, and as soon as the high-ranking officials of the court and the central government arrived, Empress Dowager Liu asked Hao to read out an urgent report from Guangnan West Road.
The performance was not long, but the minister in the middle of the hearing was angry and murderous.
On 18 April, on the grounds that Zhang Xiang, the governor of Qinzhou, had invaded Jiaozhi, the general Nguyen Zhishun, with 80,000 troops, to invade Quang Nam.
On the 23rd, Nguyen Zhishun broke through Qinzhou and slaughtered more than 6,000 people.
On the 27th, Lianzhou was broken and more than 3,000 people were slaughtered.
On May 4, Yongzhou was broken and more than 28,000 people were slaughtered.
Now that Zhang Xiang, the governor of Qinzhou, is dead, and the people of Qinzhou have been slaughtered, no one knows whether Zhang Xiang invaded Jiaozhi first, or Jiaozhi fabricated facts in order to send troops to become famous.
But no matter what, Jiaozhi dared to break through several states of the Great Song Dynasty and kill and plunder tens of thousands of people, which was tantamount to giving the Great Song Dynasty a hard slap.
It's tolerable, it's unbearable.
After listening to the recital of Guangnan Road, the rulers of the political hall all looked cold, and the ice was shining, the Great Song Dynasty only pacified the Western Xia last year, and it was shaking the world, but now a monkey suddenly jumped out of the south to appreciate the slap of the Great Song Dynasty, if it is not punished, how can the Great Song Dynasty face the four Yi? How else can the Tibetan tribes and the yellow-headed Uighurs obey orders?
Empress Dowager Liu, who was sitting at the top, asked: "The military situation is like fire, the ministers say, what should be done?" ”
Zhang Shangying, the secretary of the ministry, had a straightforward personality and immediately replied: "Regardless of whether Zhang Xiang committed Jiaozhi first, Jiaozhi has not negotiated, and brazenly raised troops to break through several states of our country, this move is to treat my Great Song Dynasty as nothing, if you don't levy, how can you be worthy of tens of thousands of dead people, the minister thinks that tomorrow should immediately issue an edict of crusade and send troops to the south!" ”
Shangshu's right servant shot Su Song and muttered: "This matter must be discussed properly, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi often violated the border and kidnapped my border people, this is an indisputable fact, but since the Zhenzong Dynasty, my Great Song Dynasty has taken a more tolerant policy, which is not for nothing. Jiaozhi is not comparable to Western Xia, and the land of Guangnan has a lot of miasma, and most of the soldiers who can fight in our dynasty are northerners, and Jiaozhi in the south is not adapted to the water and soil, and loses five or six of them before fighting, so they have to endure it again and again. Now, if you want to argue, you have to think it out. ”
Zhang Shangying immediately replied: "Although what Su Xianggong said is reasonable, it is not necessarily true, in the past, my Great Song Dynasty repeatedly tolerated it, in addition to being afraid of not adapting to the water and soil, but also because there is a Khitan in the north and a party in the west, so there is no time to look south. Now that the party has been extinguished, the Khitan itself is difficult to protect, and at this time, Jiaozhi dares to offend my Great Song Dynasty and should be defeated! ”
Li Qingchen said: "The crusade is not a problem, but what Su Xiang said should also be seriously considered." The mountains of Quang Nam are densely forested, the roads are difficult to travel, the supply is difficult, and the miasma is pervasive, and many northerners are not accustomed to water and soil. When Renzong, Di Qing conquered Nong Zhigao, although he won, but because of the water and soil, four or five out of ten people were damaged. In the ninth year of Xining, the Divine Sect sent Guo Kui and Zhao Tuo to conquest Jiaozhi, but the forbidden army was not adapted to the water and soil, the epidemic was epidemic, and most of the dead were not allowed to agree to Jiaozhi to seek peace. It can be seen that the plague must be prevented! ”
Miasma has always been one of the biggest obstacles to the southern expedition of the Central Plains Imperial Court, the southern mountains are densely forested, and the poisonous gas generated after the decay of animals and plants, coupled with the hot climate, rainy and humid, is the main cause of miasma. If this problem is not solved, even if the southern expedition wins, the losses are often extremely heavy.
The Great Song Dynasty had just leveled the Western Xia, the sky was mighty, and the monkey in the south still dared to jump out to make waves, probably thinking that the Great Song Dynasty was scruples about miasma and it was difficult to make a large-scale southern expedition, so he unscrupulously came to touch the tiger's buttocks.
Zhang Dian looked at Yang Yi with a cold gaze.
The others also couldn't help but look at him, among the important ministers seated, only Yang Yi was good at medical skills, he not only created unprecedented traumatic stitches, but also had a way to cure sepsis, so for the miasma, everyone inevitably had high hopes.
Yang Yi saw everyone looking at him, and immediately said: "This official knows some medicines that can prevent and treat miasma, one is coix seed, after taking it for a long time, it can be lightened to clear the miasma." There is also a betel nut, which can also win miasma. The rest, such as realgar and atractylodes, are often used to burn and smoke, and can also remove miasma. In addition, if you are infected with a miasma for one or two days, you can prick the upper and lower lip with acupuncture, and if you have miasma, you will be stabbed if you are sick and dying...... Ahem. ”
In the end, Yang Yi suddenly remembered that Liu Qingjing was present, and couldn't help coughing lightly, because severe patients with heat miasma need acupuncture ** to be cured, which is difficult to say.
The ministers present did not ask either, because it was no longer important! As long as it can be prevented, it is enough.
Zhang Dian immediately said to Liu Qingjing: "Queen Mother, Jiaozhi has repeatedly violated the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and the imperial court has taken care of Liaoxia and miasma in the past, and has repeatedly forbeared. Today, Nanyi has committed the Song Realm again, broken the city and plundered the pool, brutalized the people, and committed many crimes. If you don't cut down, it's not enough to deter you! ”
Empress Dowager Liu looked at the ministers sitting in the middle: "What do the ministers think?" ”
"Fell!"
A murderous word echoed in the political hall, today's Great Song is not just a great Song that will only tactfully inherit Huan.
Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!
