Chapter 202 Snow in Yangzhou
In Hedong, Wang Yan was running away at the moment, followed by the pursuing Jin army.
When he first arrived in Hedong, there were only 5,000 men and horses, and the troops were weak, and the order given to him by the official family was to integrate the various rebel armies in Hedong and unite them into a whole, constantly harassing the rear of the Jin army, making it difficult for the Jin army to sleep and relieve the pressure on the front line. The mode of combat is mostly rogue warfare, or guerrilla warfare, or sports warfare, or knocking on stuffy sticks, or attacking sentry posts, or destroying the Jin army's food stockpile............
In short, fighting is eclectic, how to fight easily, how to fight conveniently, not to pursue big victories, only to pursue small victories for big victories, like mosquitoes, sucking the blood of the yak little by little, inconsequential in a short period of time, but for a long time, it will make the Jin army tired, afraid, afraid, sleep unstable, and eat not fragrant.
There was nothing in a short period of time, but after a long time, it gradually attracted the encirclement and suppression of the Jin army.
And Wang Yan also defeated the encirclement and suppression of the Jin army again and again, and suffered huge losses in the battle, which could only be replenished from the Hedong Righteous Army, which also made the team mixed with dragons and snakes.
In this battle, one of the leaders of the rebel army rebelled and put him in a critical situation, and it was only thanks to the fierce rush of the soldiers that he broke through the encirclement and fled for his life. But the Jin army behind was in hot pursuit, like a rabbit.
And there are fewer and fewer soldiers around Wang Yan, and the situation is becoming more and more crisis.
At this time, Wang Yan was constantly running into the mountains, as long as he ran into the mountains, he could hide and avoid the siege of the Jin army.
"Kill!"
It's just that the timing is not good, the Jin army has already caught up, only a hundred meters away, and it is already within the range of the bow and arrow, and it is already impossible to run.
"Serve the country with iron and blood, swear to kill the gold thief!" Wang Yan looked at the Jin cavalry that was getting closer and closer, turned his horse's head, and killed the Jin army.
The Jin army dispatched more than 100 cavalry, which was only a second-line force guarding the rear, but its combat power was also to be underestimated; And Wang Yan only had less than twenty cavalry around him, most of them were wounded, and this was an unequal battle. But Wang Yan did not hesitate at all, and killed the Jin army.
Swords were wielded, war horses neighed, iron and blood collided, and with each collision, a Song soldier fell.
In just a few breaths, all the Song soldiers died, leaving only Wang Yan alone. And the cavalry of the Jin army was still numerous, and the Jin army cheered, and the war horses circled around him, shouting "Surrender and die!" "Song Dog, surrender!" "If you catch this general of the Song Army, the reward will be a lot!"
Wang Yan's expression was a little sad, a little decisive, the horse leather shroud is sometimes extravagant, maybe the next moment, he will be cut off his head and hung on the city tower! It doesn't matter if he dies, it's just a pity that the official family expects him from him.
"Kill!" Wang Yan roared angrily and killed the Jin army.
"I'm going to fight you!" A cavalryman of the Jin Army, wielding a war horse and dancing an axe, slashed at Wang Yan.
The knife and the axe collided violently, Wang Yan only felt that his arm was numb, and he felt like he had fallen off the horse, so he forcibly pressed the stirrup and clamped the horse's belly hard, so that he did not fall.
At this time, the return horse axe swept over, and Wang Yan dodged backwards to avoid the lore blow, but his arm was cut and he fell off the horse.
"Die!" A spear was pierced.
"It's a pity, I'm too bad at riding!" At the moment of death, Wang Yan lamented.
"Poof!"
Instead of the pain of a gun piercing his body, he heard the sound of arrows scurrying into his flesh.
When Wang Yan opened his eyes, he only saw a team in the distance, mainly infantry, shooting at the cavalry of the Jin army, and the shooting skills were excellent, and the Jin army fell down one after another.
"Reinforcements are coming!" Wang Yan burst into tears, he finally didn't have to die.
………………
In 1128 AD, in the second year of Song Xingwu, it snowed in Yangzhou.
"It's snowing in Yangzhou!"
Looking at the light snow outside the window, Zhao Pu was not in the mood to appreciate the snow, but thought of an extremely terrifying thing.
Xiaoice River climate!
When talking about why the Dao Ming Dynasty fell, it always talks about the climate of the Xiaoice River.
In the Song Dynasty, there was also a Xiaoice River climate, which made the north often face problems such as food reduction and famine, and the ethnic minorities in the north could only invade the south, plunder fertile land, and plunder grain, Liao, Xixia, Jin, and even later Mongolia.
The climate of Xiaoice River is characterized by cold and dry in the north with little rain, while the south is also extremely cold and snowy in winter.
Yangzhou, originally in the south, rarely snows, but at this moment it is snowing. If it's light snow, it's not too serious; If it's snowing, it's terrible. Because there is little snow in the south, the snow prevention measures are relatively rudimentary, and the damage caused by the war may cause snow disasters, freezing to death and frostbite.
And those idle literati or politicians who are idle and hurt will also be cheeky to impeach this, scold this, and come out to dance and sing in the name of heavy snow.
After all, this is an era when feudal superstition is very prevalent, and the induction of heaven and man is very popular, and if an earthquake is bad in a certain place, or a drought or a flood, it will always involve the punishment of heaven, or the king has made a mistake, or the court has a traitorous minister. Historically, the official said that Di Qing's dog had horns, and it shone many times, saying that Di Qing was disloyal; Bianliang had a bad fire, so it was said that this was a warning from heaven. In front of these celestial inductions, Di Qing was overturned.
And Wang Anshi also fell because of a drought.
Zhao Pu was a little worried, these literati wouldn't make some more things and kill someone!
"Disaster relief, training the army, it's another troublesome thing!" Zhao Pu looked at the copywriting, a large number of concerts, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his head. He is really not the material for the emperor, he sleeps in the court, has a headache when he reads the chapters, gets confused when dealing with some political affairs, and is a little blind when it comes to the appointment of officials.
Fortunately, with the cabinet and the assistance of those three ministers, there is no big mistake.
But even though he didn't like it, Zhao Pu still insisted, so he could only open the chapter and continue to read, and then review it, writing accurately, or whether.
………………
The days passed, and it snowed for five days in a row, and it has not stopped.
Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Zhao Pu was depressed to the extreme, and sure enough, it snowed heavily, the snow was so thick that he was calf high, and walking on it, the snow disaster had become a foregone conclusion at this time. Zhao Pu urgently convened a court meeting to demand disaster relief and relief for the victims, and various departments such as the household department, the three divisions, and the government office were urgently mobilized.
Disaster relief was carried out in the prefectures and counties near Yangzhou, and grain, firewood, etc. were urgently allocated.
In order to prevent the embezzlement of disaster relief materials, Zhao Pu was furious in the court and swore that if anyone was greedy for disaster relief materials, he would let him move to Hainan Island and be accompanied by monkeys. and gave Zhao Ding the Imperial Sword to supervise the corruption of officials, and at this time, the Military Intelligence Department and the Military Justice Department were also acting urgently to arrest corrupt officials everywhere.
Suddenly, the officials were in a daze, and those black claws were temporarily withdrawn.
The situation has finally been alleviated.
