Chapter 426: Lao Ji Fu Fang
As one of the four foreign trade ports of the Great Song Dynasty, Guangzhou has close cargo exchanges with the Nanyang area, and the ships entering and leaving the port every day are endless, with the opening of the official ship yard by the imperial court, and the introduction of private customized sea vessels, the port of Guangzhou has become more prosperous, the sails in the port are like clouds, the people are noisy, day and night.
Now that Yang Yizheng is leading the army to conquer Jiaozhi, and the development plan of "one port and two roads" in Lingnan has been launched, a large number of materials from Jiangnan arrive in Hong Kong almost every day, and they are transferred to small boats to Guangxi through the Pearl River waterway.
At the same time, the development plan of one port and two highways has also attracted many businessmen with a keen sense of smell, such as members of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, almost all of whom have opened warehouses in Guangzhou.
On this day, six big ships slowly sailed out of the port of Guangzhou, although the ships came and went on the waterway, these six big ships were still very eye-catching, because they were not merchant ships, but the latest warships built by the Great Song Dynasty suitable for sea operations.
Da Song is rich now, very rich! With the rise of maritime trade, it was only natural to build a fleet of warships suitable for naval warfare.
However, among the six warships, the navy was still second, and most of them were the men and horses of the ninth general of Gyeonggi, and 2,500 men had been in Guangzhou for eight days because of the typhoon.
Yang Yi initially planned to use the ninth man as a left hook, but the typhoon caused them to outflank Qinzhou and fight Yongzhou from the north and south with himself failed to materialize.
The ninth general was tired of staying in Guangzhou, they were originally a strange army, but Ruan Zhishun's 100,000 troops were wiped out, but they even saw a hair, which was equivalent to tossing at sea in vain. Today, I suddenly received a military order from Yang Yi, and now it's okay, and I finally have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Now Jiaozhi is like a water dog, fighting water dogs is not only enjoyable, but also has military exploits to be fished, who is not happy? Li Shangxian gave an order, and it only took an hour for 2,500 men and horses. Bringing all the war materials and boarding the battleship to leave the port, this is definitely a pioneering feat of the ninth general. At least Li Shangxian had never seen this group of soldiers under him move so fast.
The sea breeze blows the sails of the hunting ground, the sky is really high, and the sea is really blue. Flocks of seabirds flew around the battleship.
Dutou Liang and Brother came to Li Shangxian's side and asked excitedly, "General, where are we going to attack this time?" ”
The officers and non-commissioned officers and soldiers around them listened carefully with their ears sideways, for fear of mishearing a word, and they only knew that they had received a combat mission, but they did not know where to fight, and their hearts were itching like a cat scratching.
As a result, Li Shangxian glanced at Liang and replied: "Don't fight anywhere, let's go back to Beijing!" ”
"How is this possible? General, don't scold us, didn't the marching commander give us an order to attack Jiaozhi? ”
"Hahaha. Look at you monkey cubs, don't worry! This time we can do a good job! ”
"General, just talk about it!"
……
Li Qiande's personal expedition really greatly boosted the morale of the Vietnamese army, and the moment he saw the imperial flag. It can be said that the three armies are thundering, and everyone cheers, only Li Changjie is still worried.
Yang Yi garrisoned the north of Langshan, and he did not move, but issued a reward order, which made Li Changjie suffer enough. Langshan is densely forested, and the trails are everywhere, and the army commanded by Li Changjie is actually full of people, and there are too many people to station on those passes, and it is difficult to transport daily supplies. If there are fewer factions, they are not useful, but they are just giving rewards to those leaders.
Yang Yi's move is really fatal, there are 60 detention prefectures in Guangnan, and there are only more than 6,000 people in total, but now it's okay, as soon as the reward order comes out, the heads of various detention prefectures are eager to bring women and children to earn more rewards.
In just a few days, the number of tribal troops suddenly increased to 30,000, and there was a steady stream of followers, as if rushing to the song, according to this, Yang Yi did not have to take action by himself at all, Da Yue had to be crushed by these tribal troops, after all, Da Yue lost 100,000 elite soldiers, and it is not a pity to compare it now, once there are too many casualties, even if it is Li Qiande's personal expedition, these temporary strong men will collapse. …,
As for crossing Langshan to find Yang Yi for a decisive battle, Li Changjie can't think about such a thing, it is estimated that Yang Yi can't do it himself, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Li Changjie's military talent is good, but with a group of untrained strong men fighting, in addition to relying on the terrain to hold on, what can he do?
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Changjie, who had a hairy beard, stood in front of the map, and sighed secretly, Langshan, Langshan, Langshan is difficult to defend, but it has to be defended, Dayue lacks strategic depth, and two hundred miles south of Langshan is Thang Long City, if you want to retreat in stride, you can't lure the enemy deep, Thang Long City can't be lost! This is the essence of Da Viet, and if this city is lost, Da Viet's war potential will be completely lost.
Li Changjie's eyes were staring at Thang Long City, his heart was suddenly shocked, Thang Long City is located on the side of the Red River, along the Red River waterway to the east, but two hundred miles is the sea, there are rumors that Yang Yi had an expedition to Japan last year, if this is true, then .......
"Someone! Immediately spread the word that General Li Zhongming came to see Ben Shuai! Fast! ”
Li Changjie drank awe-inspiringly, his heart was filled with an ominous premonition, with Li Qiande's personal conquest, now Thang Long City is almost an undefended city, if there is an enemy from the sea at this time, the side of Thang Long City will fall in an instant, thinking of these, Li Changjie is like sitting on pins and needles, fortunately, Li Zhongming will soon come into the account.
Li Zhongming is the younger brother of Li Qiande's biological mother, Empress Dowager Li, the authentic uncle of the country, the last 20,000 elite divisions of Dayue are under the name of Li Zhongming, when Dayue poured the country north to conquer Guangnan, there are only 20,000 Gyeonggi garrisons left in the country, which is also the only army that can still be used in Dayue.
Li Zhongming has a special identity, but he looked very calm in front of Li Changjie, and he saluted when he entered the account: "Li Dashuai, but what happened?" Why is there a rush to recruit this official? ”
Li Changjie didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Has General Li ever heard the rumors of Yang Yi's expedition to Japan?" ”
"I've heard a little about it."
"Yang Yi can conquer Japan from the sea, and he can attack my Dayue from the sea, General Li, please see, my Dayue capital is now like an empty city, if the Song army comes from the sea, Thang Long City is in danger! Ben Shuai now orders you to lead 20,000 horses to immediately return to Thang Long City, stick to the mouth of the Red River, block the river with iron cables, and then hit hidden piles, you must not let the Song army advance west from the Red River to attack Thang Long City, go quickly! A moment later, I am afraid that Dayue will fall, quickly! ”
"This ...... Li Dashuai, do you want to discuss this matter with Your Majesty, Your Majesty is now personally conquering Langshan, if this official takes away the only 20,000 elites, in case ......"
"I didn't let you take all the 20,000 elites away, you left 10,000 to protect Your Majesty, and the remaining 10,000 were transferred from the newly recruited recruits, this matter can't be delayed, hurry up and get the order!"
"Marshal Li, since Your Majesty has personally conscripted such a major military transfer, I think I should still ask Your Majesty's opinion......."
"Come on! Drag Ben Shuai out and cut it! Li Changjie suddenly shouted, after decades of decisive killing, after countless battles, Li Changjie can't allow others to challenge his authority like this, even if it is the uncle of the country.
As he drank violently, a group of pro-soldiers rushed into the tent, and dragged Li Zhongming out without saying anything, Li Zhongming was shocked, and shouted while struggling: "What are you going to do? Let go! Let go! This official is a dignified uncle, you Li Changjie are not qualified to kill me, and this official didn't say the wrong thing, let me go! Li Changjie, you old immortal thing, I'll fuck your ancestors......"
Li Zhongming shouted hysterically and cursed, Li Changjie stood awe-inspiring, murderous, he was sure that he had the intention of using the topic to exert his authority this time, Li Zhongming lacked military talent, but he mastered the only 20,000 elites left in Dayue, and he dared to rely on the identity of the uncle to contradict himself, this is an extremely dangerous thing, when this is an extraordinary time, he can only do extraordinary things.
Li Changjie really planned to use Li Zhongming's head to deter the three armies, but the movement on Shuai's side was too big, and Li Qiande happened to hear it, so he hurried over, stopped the soldiers who were about to be executed, and pleaded with Li Changjie in the tent: "Captain Li, for my sake, you can spare Uncle Guo!" ”…,
With Li Qiande by his side, Li Zhongming was energetic, and cried on the ground: "Your Majesty! Li Changjie didn't take His Majesty in his eyes at all, he wanted to mobilize the army, the minister just suggested asking Your Majesty to ask you, and he was about to behead the minister, Your Majesty! Li Changjie is arrogant and despises His Majesty! Your Majesty, you want to be the master of your ministers......."
Li Changjie ignored Li Zhongming's crying, explained his worries to Li Qiande, and then said: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed!" Otherwise, the Song army really came from the sea, and once Thang Long City was lost, our Dayue Kingdom would no longer be able to return to the sky, and the old minister was dedicated to the country, but Li Zhongming was perfunctory and delayed the military aircraft, and his crime should be beheaded. Since Your Majesty is here, please ask Your Majesty to decide! If Your Majesty thinks that the old minister is embarrassed by the heavy responsibility, the old minister will hand over the post of commander of the army, and His Majesty will choose another meritorious......"
Li Gande didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and hurriedly persuaded: "Mrs. Li is serious, Mrs. Li is the cadre city of the country, and now that the country of Dayue is in trouble, I need Mrs. Li's assistance wholeheartedly, how can Mrs. Li resign as the commander of the three armies lightly, this discussion is absolutely impossible, Uncle Guo has no intention of offending, and I hope that Mrs. Li will look at me in front of me and spare him this time!" ”
"Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister deliberately makes things difficult for the uncle, at this extraordinary time, if the military order can't be reached, what's the use of asking the old minister?"
"I hope that this ....... will be in front of me and spare him, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to the queen when I return to Beijing in the future!"
Li Changjie is a hero, he has always been either not to do it, or to do it, but now he has turned his face, and keeping Li Zhongming will only be a bad thing, but the emperor said this, it seems that Li Zhongming can't be killed, and he can't help but worry.
"Since Your Majesty cares about family affection, the old minister has nothing to say, but Li Zhongming delayed the military plane, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so please ask Your Majesty to remove his official position first and transfer him to Langshan to guard the pass!"
Li Gande responded repeatedly, Li Zhongming couldn't peel Li Changjie's skin in his heart, and he cramped his tendons, and he could only endure it at this time, old horseman, let's see.
Li Changjie sent Li Zhongming to Langshan to guard the pass, which naturally did not have any good intentions, but he wanted to put Li Zhongming to death in another way, at least he could not let him stay by Li Qiande's side to slander.
After solving this matter and seizing the direct command of the 20,000 elite divisions, Li Changjie immediately sent his confidant Li Zhaozhong to lead 10,000 elites and 10,000 recruits back to defend Thang Long City and Honghekou.
