Jiaozhi captured Qinzhou, Lianzhou, and Yongzhou in Guangnan, and slaughtered tens of thousands of people.

As soon as this incident came out, the storm in Beijing was suddenly agitated and murderous.

May 11 of the second year of Wenchang. Emperor Zhao Jie of the Great Song Dynasty promulgated the "Edict on Discussing Jiaozhi":

I have climbed to the extreme, lest my virtue and talent be thin, and I will save my body three times in the future...... Appoint meritocracy, the rebellion of the party on the outside, and the government of benevolence and virtue on the inside...... Since the Great Song Dynasty was established, he has only been attached to Annan and received the king's lordship. The thickness of the acceptance, the real from the first dynasty, the letter is convulsive, to this day. but they attack the cities, and kill and wound the people, and interfere with the discipline of the country, and the punishment will not be forgiven; To the heavens, the teacher is famous.

Yang Yichong, a scholar of Hanlin University, was appointed as the head of the Ma Bujun capital of the Annan Road camp, the envoy of Jingluo, the pacification envoy of Guangnan West Road, the envoy of Zhaoxuan, and the defense envoy of Jiazhou. The Inner Servant Province knows that Jiao Shouchong is the deputy head of the Ma Bu Army, and he is a division that is prosperous with the times, and he advances both land and water.

The heavens have shown that the new auspiciousness has been revealed; People know that they are insulted and killed, and they become hostile. However, where the king goes, Flekben. If you can tell the king to be attached, lead the people to return to themselves, take prisoners and make meritorious contributions, pull out and obey, and reward them with honors, they should be more often than usual; The old evils are all cleansed. I am unswerving, and the public is not confused.

As soon as the edict was promulgated all over the world, all the people were boiling, and the crusade filled the capital. Since the defeat of Liao in Pingxia, the people of the country have been high-spirited, and they are willing to be humiliated by a hairy monkey in the south?

This "Edict on Asking for Jiaozhi" uses "begging" instead of "cutting", which is exquisite, although there is a difference in one word, but it contains great righteousness.

"Felling" is usually the tone of the weak party's use of troops against the strong party, such as the king of martial arts, just like a person standing under a big tree to cut wood. At least the other party is also on an equal footing with himself, for example, if he uses troops against Liao, he can use "felling".

"Asking" is the master's questioning of his subordinates, for example, if you send troops to attack a group of bandits, you can't use "felling", you can only use "asking", otherwise you will raise the other party's status to an equal level with yourself.

The monkey in the south has always accepted the canonization of the Great Song Dynasty, and is a subject country of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is not worthy of the word "felling"!

On May 12, the Great Song Dynasty sent envoys to Dali, Zhancheng, and Zhenla.

On May 20, Yang Yi, a scholar of Hallym University, led 30,000 elite forbidden troops from the capital to march south.

On June 16, he passed through Hengyang.

On the 22nd, he arrived in Guizhou (Guilin City).

The army marched in a hurry, which took a whole month, and the soldiers were exhausted, so Yang Yi could only order a short rest in Guizhou.

Guizhou is the seat of Guangxi governance, the city is in the mountains, the mountains are in the city, the clear and charming Li River surrounds the city, the eyes are full of strange mountains and waters, the beautiful scenery is endless, Han Yue has poetry clouds: Cangcang Forest Eight Gui, Zidi is in southern Hunan. The river is a green Luo belt, and the mountains are like jasper hairpins. Households lose more green feathers, and families grow their own yellow oranges. It is far better than going to the immortals, and Feiluan is not flawless.

This poem vividly depicts the landscape of Guizhou. Because of the beautiful mountains and rivers, Guizhou is also the only place on Guangnan West Road that does not have miasma, but Yang Yi still does not dare to be careless.

Before sending troops, the imperial court prepared a large number of miasma avoidance drugs such as coix seed, betel nut, realgar, and atractylodes atractylodes according to Yang Yi's description.

This time, Yang Yi went out with Liu Wu, Bao Yi, Liu Fengming, Han Zheng and other generals, and Yang Yi told them to take care of the military camp before going to the government with Jiao Shou.

Guizhou Shuaisi, Jingluo pacified the envoy Cheng Jie, Zhizhou Liang Li, Guangxi Fifth General Lan Jilong, Recorder Zhang Ping, Sihu joined the army Hu Yaquan, and the manager joined the army Wen Ying and other large and small officials were all there.

In addition, there was also a big celebrity present: Huang Tingjian.

Yang Yigao sat down, glanced at Huang Tingjian, and said to Cheng Jie: "Lord Cheng, how is the battle situation ahead now?" ”

Cheng Jie is in his forties, his appearance is thin, like skin and bones, and a set of official clothes seems to be hanging on a bamboo pole; He arched his hand and replied: "Back to the head of Yang, the enemy army has a total of 90,000 people, of which 67,000 people besieged Liuzhou on the 12th of this month, and divided the troops to force Yizhou to the west, and the next official asked General Chen Sen to lead 3,000 men and horses to slow down Liuzhou, Ruan Zhishun could not attack for a long time, and retreated to Yongzhou on the 15th of this month, and built fortifications at Kunlun Pass, which seems to have the intention of hindering our army. ”

In his previous life, Yang Yi's main areas of activity were Guangxi, Yunnan, Myanmar, and Vietnam, and he was familiar with the terrain here. It is impossible for him not to know that Kunlun Pass is such a military pass, where the mountains are dangerous, the jungle is dense, and the road winds in the canyon.

At the beginning, Di Qing's southern expedition to Nong Zhigao can be said to have picked up a big bargain, Nong Zhigao did not use the Kunlun Pass to block Di Qing, but chose to fight Di Qing in the open area south of Kunlun Pass, which allowed Di Qing to defeat in one fell swoop.

This time, Ruan Zhishun obviously learned the lesson of Nong Zhigao and was ready to use this danger to stop Yang Yi.

Yang Yi brought 2,000 flintlock pistols this time, but he didn't bring more because flintlock pistols relied heavily on logistical supplies, and the bullets were burned as if they were burned with sticks. And in the southwestern mountains, logistics are precisely the most difficult.

Moreover, there is no three-foot flat land in the southwest, the sky is sunny for three days, the mountains are undulating, the jungle is dense, it is often difficult to line up the formation, and the range advantage is not reflected.

In addition, this side belongs to the tropical rainforest climate, rainy and humid, once the flint of the flintlock pistol is wet, it cannot be shot, as long as the enemy finds out the weakness of the flintlock pistol, with this weapon Yang Yi can not take much advantage. What's more, such a dangerous pass as Kunlun Pass, it was difficult for the Japanese to capture it when the Japanese aircraft and artillery were on it in later generations, let alone the flintlock guns.

This war is no better than the Battle of Pingxia!

Yang Yi asked lightly: "When Ruan Zhishun attacked Qin, Lian, Yong and other prefectures, why didn't you defend the Kunlun Pass and let Ruan Zhishun pass easily?" ”

Cheng Jie hurriedly explained: "General Manager Yang clearly investigated, the enemy army came too suddenly, Qin and Yongzhou fell one after another, Guizhou is hundreds of miles away from Kunlun Pass, Yongzhou is only dozens of miles away from this pass, and this pass is in the middle of the mountains, and it is difficult to garrison troops on weekdays. Wait for the lower official to follow the battle report and send reinforcements, Kunlun Pass has been taken advantage of by the enemy, and the enemy is ten times larger than me, the lower official is really powerless! ”

Now that the situation is unclear and it is not the time to pursue responsibility, Yang Yi turned to ask: "What is the situation in Guizhou (Guigang City, Guangxi)?" ”

Cheng Jie replied: "Back to the head of Yang, Guizhou fell to the enemy on the eighth day of the first month of this month, and Su Qingliang, the fourth general of Guangxi, gathered 15,000 soldiers and horses in Tengzhou, Hezhou, Gongzhou, and other places, and sent troops to the west. ”

Yang Yi thought for a while and said: "Guizhou must be recovered as soon as possible, and I will pass on my order to limit Su Qingliang to recapture Guizhou before June 30, and there must be no mistake." ”

Cheng Jie said cautiously: "General Manager Yang, according to the detailed report, Guizhou has 10,000 enemy troops defending the city, and Su Qingliang has only 15,000 troops, and if you want to recover Guizhou, I am afraid it will be a little difficult." ”

Yang Yi suddenly lowered his face and said: "You only need to pass on my military order, whether you can recover it is Su Qingliang's business, if you can't take it back, let him come to see him." ”

Cheng Jie and the others' faces changed, although this little ancestor was born as a champion, but after countless battles, he killed people like hemp, who dared to doubt his determination to kill people and establish authority? Cheng Jie hurriedly sent someone to pass the order.

Yang Yi continued: "Ben Shuai ordered, spread 44 states, 5 counties, and 11 Dongtou people, to rush to Penn before July 5, anyone who does not arrive, will be regarded as rebelling against the Song Dynasty and surrendering to the enemy, and Ben Shuai vows to conquer them together!" ”

"Yes, the lower official will send someone to pass it on."

Quang Nam West Road. There are Gui, Rong, Yong, Rong, Xiang, Zhao, Wu, Teng, Gong, Xun, Liu, Gui, Yi, Bin, Heng, Hua, Gao, Lei, Qin, Bai, Yulin, Lian, Qiong, Ping, Guan 25 prefectures (including Hainan Island), in addition, there were three other armies: Changhua, Wan'an, Zhuya.

After the law of placing generals was fully implemented, the three armies were withdrawn and six generals were replaced. But in fact, only 6,000 of the six generals were forbidden troops, and the rest were all local recruits, totaling 32,000 people.

In addition to the above 25 prefectures, there are also 44 prefectures, 5 counties, and 11 caves under the jurisdiction of Guangxi. These places were mainly inhabited by the people of the Gu, Miao, Yi and other ethnic groups, and were nominally owned by the Great Song Dynasty, but their essence was "to govern the local people with local officials", and the imperial court recognized the hereditary leadership status of each minority tribe and gave them official titles for indirect rule, and the imperial edict of the imperial court was not actually able to be truly implemented.

Yang Yi ordered to recruit the leaders of these states, counties, and caves to come to Pennsylvania, and had another intention, now Ruan Zhishun still occupies the area south of Yongzhou, and the Great Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi have not yet divided the winners and losers, and there are probably not many tribal leaders who are really willing to listen to the orders of Pennsylvania.

When they come, Yang Yi will let them send troops to attack Jiaozhi together.

If you don't come, it doesn't matter, after all, it will give you an excuse to settle accounts in the future.

After passing these military orders, Yang Yi suddenly asked Huang Tingjian: "Huang Tongju, you are not in Yizhou, why are you in Guizhou?" ”

Huang Tingjian Shao Shengchu sat on the school book to revise the "Records of Shenzong", which was untrue and was demoted to Yizhou General Judgment. Although he still has an official position, it is actually equivalent to being detained in Yizhou.

Yang Yi is a cadre of the New Party, and when he asked this, the officials in the hall thought that Huang Tingjian was going to be unlucky. Huang Tingjian's face was full of vicissitudes, and he replied: "Xiaguan was sent by Zhizhou to come to Guizhou for help, but due to old age and frailty, he contracted illness in Guizhou and could only stay in Guizhou for recuperation. ”

Cheng Jie, the envoy of the scripture, came out to explain to him: "Manager Yang, Huang Tong is indeed infected with a disease, and the lower officials can prove it." ”

The hall was quiet, and more than a dozen officials looked at Yang Yi and waited to see what he would do. Yang Yi looked at Huang Tingjian again, he was of medium height, with an oval face, although his expression was calm, his face was dark, and he was in his fifties, but he was full of wind and frost.

Huang Tingjian is very famous, but he has been in the government for more than 30 years, whether it is the new party or the old party, he has never entered the core of power, and the biggest official he has ever been is a secretary. If he hadn't participated in the revision of the "Records of the Divine Sect", the liquidation of the New Party probably would not have fallen on him.

Yang Yi didn't bother to ask why the Yizhou Governor sent him to ask for help, and only asked lightly: "Huang Tong's condition is better?" ”

"Xiaguan has basically recovered, and he will return to Yizhou within two days."

"You don't have to go back to Yizhou for the time being, there is a shortage of a clerk in our army, so you will fill it first!"
