Chapter 334 Blocking the door and slapping his face - Asking for a monthly pass
It's the middle of the month, can Rollo kneel and beg for a few monthly passes?
Dozens of soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army, clinging to crossbows and scimitars, and wearing heavy infantry armor, desperately rushed to the high ground. The soft tidal flats made their footsteps unfast, and everyone was sweating profusely in the blink of an eye. A distance of a few hundred meters seems to have no end in sight.
Shen Muye rushed to the front, his heart beating rapidly. There won't be Mongols nearby, right? There should be no Mongol cavalry! Of course, a few tax collectors are not in his eyes, and these guys are now either sleeping with the girl in their arms, or drinking all night to make money.
But this is the land of Yanyun after all! It is the territory of the Mongols in the Han land! The king of Ming raised the banner of the king of the first to recover the Yan early, Kublai Khan couldn't be defenseless, right?
If he had taken precautions, tonight might be the time for him to ascend to the kingdom of light!
Shen Muye's worries finally did not come true, and dozens of soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army rushed out of the muddy tidal flats and rushed onto the high ground like a whirlwind. As far as the eye can see, there are three stone generators that have been erected, and the boxes filled with heavenly thunder are thrown there in a mess. The breastwork of the defense on the high ground has been repaired, behind the breastwork there are several houses made of wood and straw, a flag embroidered with the word "Shibo" is still hanging on the flagpole, the grass houses are in a mess, and all kinds of pouches and wooden boxes are thrown everywhere, which must be the property looted by these tax collectors. When I raised my eyes and looked into the distance, I saw that there were more than one hundred and dozens of figures in the black press, several times more than the number of people in the intelligence, but they were fleeing in the direction of Haijin Town to the west!
These tax collectors were indeed clever, and they spotted the sparkling fires on the sea, and vaguely saw people rushing to the beach. I knew that it was Chen Dexing's soldiers calling!
If you don't run now, when?
The strict training made the dozens of soldiers under Shen Muye's command subconsciously squat and kneel against the chest wall. He also raised the crossbow with the cluster of arrows and aimed it at the figure in the night. Shen Muye shook his head. I can't even shoot a single stray hair at this distance. He yelled at one of the soldiers in charge of the flag: "Shoot out the torches (of course, the torches and lanterns are lit before the sky is lit), send a signal to the sea, I have landed, there are no casualties, the gate of Yanyun has been occupied by our Northern Expedition heroes!" ”
……
"Bang!" The door of Pu Shougeng's bedroom was kicked open suddenly, and a figure broke in.
At this time, it was already more than ten hours after the landfall at the mouth of the Haihe River, and the sky was darkening again. Inside the bedroom. Pu Shougeng was sleeping with a beautiful Tianzhu girl in his arms, and when he heard this movement, he woke up suddenly, and the woman next to him was not wearing clothes, so he was wrapped in the quilt naked, and suddenly screamed.
Pu Shougeng snorted, and was about to get angry, but the figure had already spoken: "Ten thousand households! Something is wrong! The enemy is coming, and the outposts on the Haikou side have been occupied. People are running back! ”
The voice was very rough, and the Chinese language he spoke was blunt, obviously not Pu Shougeng's subordinates. At this time, a servant of the Pu family came in and lit candles and oil lamps, and Pu Shougeng took a look at it by the firelight. The anger on his face suddenly dissipated without a trace, and was replaced by a humble smile.
Pu Shou Geng is a second-class color, but the person who came is a first-class Mongolia! The head of Daru Huachi in Haijin Town. The official Daru Huachi represents the Great Khan of Mongolia. It's a bit of a Qin cha or something, in short, Pu Shougeng doesn't dare to offend this Mongolian uncle.
"Chief Baturu. What did you just say? Pu Shougeng is still a well-behaved person who is kind and wealthy. He didn't understand what Baturu said just now.
Baturu's face turned pale. He picked Pu Shougeng up from the bed like a chicken: "The enemy has come from the sea and has occupied the outpost we have placed at the mouth of the Haihe River!" The hundred and ten people you put there are all rubbish, and they have come back with a smoke! ”
"What, what?" Pu Shougeng only felt a burst of Venus in front of him: "It's Chen Dexing who came......
"I don't know yet, I think it's either Chen Dexing or Li Pu!" Baturu gritted his teeth and said, "But whoever comes is the same, with me Baturu here, I will make them come and go!" ”
"This ......" Pu Shougeng just wanted to pour cold water on Baturu, and he remembered his current identity, and he was no longer the Pu Bancheng who said everything in Quanzhou and the Southeast China Sea.
He nodded solemnly at the moment: "With the words of Chief Baturu, I am relieved." But...... There were many treasures hoarded in the storehouses of the city, all of which were to be offered to the Great Khan. The Great Khan is still waiting for these goods to be paid, this ...... It would be bad if the delivery of goods was delayed because of the delay in the war. Well, the lower official set off and personally escorted this batch of property into Yanjing, and asked the queen of the prison country for help by the way. Chief Baturu, do you think this will work? ”
The chief of Baturu was right to think about it, both Chen Dexing and Li Pu had some strength, although they would definitely not be able to defeat the Mongol cavalry on the Great Plains, but it was still a little difficult to defeat them immediately.
"Okay, then there's a lot of money." Baturu nodded emphatically, "But I only have two thousand people in my hands, you have to leave 4,000 of your people to me, it must be a Semu person, I don't want Han'er." ”
Pu Shougeng was sealed by Kublai Khan, and he was also in charge of the city and shipyard of Haijin Town, so of course he had force in his hands. Among them, the main force was the sailors of the original twelve (now only seven) spinnains, but to make room for Guo Kan's 3,000 hand-to-hand soldiers. Pu Shougeng transferred the same number of sailors from those ships, plus some of the Semu people who were fooled by Pu Shougeng, and about 6,000 people remained in Haijin Town.
"Okay, that's it!" Pu Shougeng dared to be no, as long as he was allowed to leave now, even if he left all 6,000 people behind, it would be a trivial matter.
……
Haihekou, early morning of April 28 in the first year of Xianchun of the Great Song Dynasty.
The sound of the labor horn sounded one after another, and there was no time to stop. Outside the mouth of the Haihe River, hundreds of large and small ships are flooding and barging military supplies. Both sides of the Haihe estuary have been all controlled by the Northern Expeditionary Army, and there is no port and commercial port at the Haihe estuary at this time, and Haijin Town is an inland port, located at the junction of the Haihe River and the Grand Canal. Therefore, there are no ready-made ports available in the Haihe estuary area.
The Northern Expeditionary Army was working as if they were dying, and no one rested all night on land and sea. The infantry of the three brigades had already gone ashore, supplies had begun to be transported, and Chen Dexing and Lu Rover had also been at the landing ground all night, personally commanding the landing.
The Northern Expeditionary Army of the Brigade had already begun to assemble and prepare to march along the Haihe River towards Haijin Town. I didn't want to take Yanjing City, which was Kublai Khan's base in the Central Plains. The city is high and the pool is deep, and the defenders will not be too small, and Chen Dexing's troops are too thin to take down.
But Chen Dexing didn't plan to leave with a shot at the mouth of the Haihe River, his plan was to build a castle at the mouth of the Haihe River!
As we all know, Kublai Khan later established the capital of the Yuan Dynasty was Yanjing, which was called Dadu at the time, that is, the great capital of the motherland in later generations, Beijing. Now it is one of the residences of the three major administrative governors of the Great Mongolian State (Yanjing and other places in the province of Shangshu, Beishu Bali and other places in the province of Shangshu, and Amu Darya and other places in the province of Shangshu). And the location where Chen Dexing is now preparing to build the city is in the territory of Tianjin in the future. For the regime in Beijing, Tianjin is the gate to the capital!
If the gates of their own capital are occupied by the Han nationalists, and a military base is built in a grand manner. Where does this Kublai Khan have the face to shout that the world is one family, and the four seas are unified? Who is the unifier of whom?
In the words of later generations, as long as Chen Dexing occupies Tianjin, it is equivalent to blocking the gate of Kublai Khan's house and slapping Kublai Khan's face every day!
You even let people occupy the gate of your nest, why do you say that you are very awesome, and why do you want to be powerful in the northern Han land? Kublai Khan relied on tens of thousands of Mongolian iron cavalry to subdue hundreds of thousands of Han troops, relying on the Mongols to slaughter seven or eight tenths of the people of the Han land in the north!
But this murderous name was saved by Genghis Khan and Ögedai Khan, who dared to block the door of the Mongolian Khan at that time and play with the Khan in the face every day? If so, who is still afraid of the Mongols? Who will still make the Mongol Great Khan his master?
Therefore, Chen Dexing was very sure that once he blocked Kublai Khan's door, the Great Khan would either not hesitate to recapture it, or he could only watch his prestige be discredited. At that time, the Hanhou of the Northland, who is still hesitating, will definitely raise troops one after another!
It's been two nights of sleeplessness, and Chen Dexing and his tall eyes are red. The two sat on top of a pile of pouches and listened to the reports of their officers.
"King, before noon on the 30th, our Northern Expeditionary Army can go to land with all the supplies, and then the people will go to land, and it will be completed on the third day of the fifth month!"
Gao Da nodded with satisfaction, and 15,000 troops, 10,000 people, and a lot of supplies were all brought ashore in six days (there was no port, only small boats), which was already a miraculous speed. If the Mongols in Yanjing were slow to react, it is estimated that the counterattacking army had not yet been organized, right?
Chen Dexing also smiled with satisfaction: "When the landing is completed, the whole army will remember the last merit once." ”
The last work is the smallest work. Chen Dexing established a system of knighthood in the Northern Expeditionary Army system, and naturally there must be a standard for meritorious rewards. The standard of merit is divided into four categories: "large, medium, small, secondary, and last." Among them, the great merit, the medium merit, and the ordinary soldier have no chance, and they are all established by the officers when they command the operation. The standard for secondary and minor merits is to decapitate the Mongolian Tartars, exchange one level for one small skill, change one level for one level for the remaining levels, and exchange three times for one small skill. In addition, units that carry out difficult tasks such as reconnaissance, meritorious service, assault, and stubborn defense can also receive "group secondary merit and small merit." Whoever participates in a campaign-level battle and wins the battle at the end, without any fault, can get one or several final merits, and the three final merits can be exchanged into a small merit.
And starting from small merits, you can be promoted to an official position, a title or a grange. The second merit and the last merit can be exchanged for huàn bonuses, of course, if you change the bonus, you can't accumulate a larger level of credit.
Chen Dexing is now crediting the whole army with meritorious service, in fact, he thinks that the landing on "Tianjin" was successful, blocking the door of Kublai Khan's house, and this is a battle-level victory! (To be continued......)
