Chapter 96: Poyang Lake Bandits (1)

"We want to exchange Gorten and Jiang Qingzhi for Xia Gui and Fan Wenhu." Facing the Mongolian envoy to the Great Song Dynasty, Ding Fei said calmly.

Uri Buhuachi looked at the young official in his twenties opposite, and admired it in his heart. He had seen Zhao Jiaren, the left prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and this left prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty gave Wuli Buhuachi the feeling that he saw the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan. Both of them have a strong willpower and the sense of oppression that comes from being in a high position for a long time. Although Ding Fei must have killed people, and killed a lot of people, a young man full of vigor and sharpness like Ding Fei does not have the cold feeling of a superior person that makes the hairs stand on end.

No matter how much he admired it, Uri Buhuachi still said according to what he had heard before: "Don't you change nobles? ”

Ding Fei shook his head and replied, "I'm not in a hurry at this time." The election of these two people has also gone through a lot of discussion within the anti-rape committee. Among the rebel generals who hurt the most in the Great Song Dynasty, Liu Quan has been caught and killed. Although Lu Wenhuan is very hateful, he did his best, so it is inevitable that some people will think he is quite pitiful. In addition, the two who need to be killed the most are Xia Gui and Fan Wenhu.

Wu Li Buhuachi felt that Mongolia was still the dominant side now, and seeing that Ding Fei was so serious, he couldn't help but joke: "I can only send news to Dadu, as for whether Dadu is willing or not, then I have to wait." ”

"You can wait slowly." Ding Fei replied without hesitation. He also thought that this would not happen so quickly, and he also thought that the Great Song had captured too few Mongol prisoners at this time. If enough prisoners were captured, it would be the Mongols' turn to rush over with the list.

Wu Li Buhuachi didn't expect Ding Fei to be so calm, he asked in surprise: "Brother Ding, isn't Taiwei Zhao in a hurry about this matter at all?" He won't rush you? ”

"If it is urgent, Taiwei Zhao and I will definitely be very, very anxious, and we must show you in a hurry." Ding Fei smiled briskly. When Zhao Jiaren and Ding Fei talked about this matter, they said that when Da Song first solved the internal preliminary problems, they could concentrate on the outside. At that time, as long as 600,000 Mongol troops could be killed on the battlefield, Mongolia would probably collapse. At least the Mongols could no longer afford to maintain their rule in the northern Han lands.

There are about 30 million people in the territory under Mongol rule. Among them, there are about 15 million men, and the proportion of men between the ages of 15 and 50 accounts for about 40%. That's 6 million. The men who could be pulled into battle were the stronger of the 6 million adult males, and the Mongol rulers were able to mobilize. Kill these people, the Mongols rely on the Latin forces to get the combat effectiveness is very weak.

It took a lot of effort for Ding Fei to barely have an idea of what Taiwei Zhao said, and then he felt suddenly enlightened. The unmobilized population did not mean much to the state power, the Great Song Dynasty had a population of 80 million, and the Mongol expedition to the south only defeated 300,000 Song troops before and after, and forced the Lin'an court to surrender.

"Haha!" Uri was amused by Ding Fei's words. He liked Ding Fei very much because Ding Fei was as straightforward as the Mongols. The style of those officials in the Southern Song Dynasty is very annoying, whether they do things or not, they are hiding them. Compared with them, Ding Fei's frankness is like a pool of clear water, and he can see the bottom safely. It's very pleasing to the eye.

Ding Fei also laughed a few times. At the time of the initial counteroffensive, Zhao Taiwei was able to control only 2 million people, and the army that could be mobilized was only 100,000. However, relying on these 2 million people and 100,000 troops, the powerful Mongol army was defeated, and the old land of the Southern Song Dynasty could be recovered within a few years.

When Ding Fei was able to figure out this, the seemingly powerful Da Yuan immediately became a real existence in Ding Fei's eyes. Ding Fei was not afraid of such a completely defeatable regime. The original Ding Fei couldn't laugh, and now Ding Fei found that he would never have the feeling of almost despair that he had before.

So Ding Fei, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and Wu Li Buhuachi, the minister of the Great Yuan, drank a cup of tea and ate a snack after laughing, and then dispersed. On the way home, Ding Fei was thinking about the big trial that would start soon. This expedition to the west captured many Song traitors, and these people will be tried. There were disagreements about the manner in which the trial was to be conducted. Some people think that these people should be sent to Lin'an for trial first, and some people think that these people have done a lot of evil in the local area and should be tried in the local public.

Ding Fei felt that both had their own advantages, so he wanted to find the most beneficial way from them. It's just that no matter what he thinks, he can see the less suitable parts in it. Then Ding Fei suddenly saw the students after school, and remembered the little brother Liu Pet who gave up school and became a soldier. He had been in the army for a few months and thought he should have completed his initial military training. According to the division of this group of soldiers, Liu Pet should be in Jiangxi now, maybe he will start fighting.

Similar to what Ding Fei thought, Liu Chong was sitting on the boat with his comrades from the same company with a rifle on his back at this time. Looking at the company commander Yang Tiexin, who had always had a stiff face, Liu Pet didn't dare to speak. Yang Tiexin knew the evaluation of his subordinates, but he really couldn't laugh, let alone think that there was anything worth laughing in such a world.

A few years ago, Niujia Village was attacked by the Mongols, and although Yang Tiexin and others fought, they were still outnumbered. When he was in danger, Guo Xiaotian used his body to protect Yang Tiexin, and finally pushed Yang Tiexin, who was not seriously injured, into the river. Seeing that his righteous brother was killed by Mongolian soldiers, Yang Tiexin felt that everything was burned, but he had no strength. Just when he was almost drowned, the fleet of the Song Army Shipyard rescued him. Yang Tiexin could only retreat first with the large army.

By the time the Song army counterattacked and recaptured Niujia Village, it had been burned to the ground by the Mongol army. Yang Tiexin was discouraged, so he defected to the army. What he is good at is the Yang family gun, and he is eager for revenge, in addition to his own bravery, he also simply told the family gun skills. Because of this, he became a company commander from an ordinary soldier in a few years. And Yang Tiexin has been told that he will go to the military academy in the middle of the year. The last time he went to school, he became a platoon commander from a squad leader, and this time he was said to be a staff officer or deputy battalion commander.

However, after the troops were equipped with new rifles, the long guns were eliminated. This made Yang Tiexin feel very unaccustomed, and his face tightened.

On each large ship was transported a company of troops. The troops received the order, and those people in the Ming Sect had been officially informed that they would not accept the recruitment of the Great Song Dynasty. Hearing that this group of righteous men who bravely rebelled against the Mongols had become traitors like this, Yang Tiexin felt very disappointed. From a personal point of view, Yang Tiexin hoped that those people would be able to surrender to each other.

At this time, the ship in front of it waved a flag. It's very simple, 'Ready to fight'.

"Be careful, prepare for battle!" Yang Tiexin immediately ordered. The warriors were lined up on either side of the ship, ready to meet the enemy who could appear at any moment.

At this time, Yang Tiexin felt that he could understand why the troops wanted to cancel the pikemen, and the battles began with long-range engagement. The number of ranged soldiers in an army generally does not exceed 30%. In addition to the lack of melee combat abilities of ranged soldiers, crafting ranged weapons is also very laborious.

The effective range of the new rifle can easily reach 100 steps. At a distance of 100 paces (150 meters), rifle bullets are powerful. And those people with poor eyesight have a problem looking 100 steps away. Even for those with good eyesight, it is very difficult to shoot arrows that can reach 100 paces away.

So the same 10,000 people, the Song army can organize a dense shooting of 10,000 people. There are at most 3,000 people on the opposite side who can shoot at each other, and the winner is already determined by this alone. As for melee ......combat, Yang Tiexin had already discussed with other officers in the army who were skilled in close combat a set of assassination routines that would more effectively use rifles for bayonet combat. The rifle plus the bayonet is also four or five feet, and in Yang Tiexin's hands, a short gun of this length also has a strong lethality.

'Woo...... Woo......' There was a dull sound on the surface of the lake. Yang Tiexin felt that the sound was a bit like a snail, but it was not the same.

"It should be the Bullhorn, it seems that the traitors really want to engage us." Even the instructor said to Yang Tiexin.

Yang Tiexin admired the instructor very much. Now each company has assigned an instructor, and the instructors are all scholars, and in addition to their own studies, they also have to organize the military in the army to read. In addition to reading, the instructors are also proficient in a variety of military skills. For example, after Yang Tiexin talked to the instructor, he remembered that such a sound was indeed very similar to the sound of a bull's horn that he had heard before.

It wasn't long before the shadows of some boats appeared in the distance on the lake. Then there was a faint sound of shelling in front. The instructor gathered the personnel of the unit, and he said to everyone: "Everyone, the captain has an order. Although these people on the other side are now traitors, what do the minions know about them? They just felt that they couldn't stand the oppression, so they followed the leaders of the Ming Sect to rebel. So this time we tried not to aim for annihilation. After all, they are still the people of our Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Instructor, we can't let them kill us, can we?" Someone asked.

The instructor is a member of the society, so this basic patience is naturally there. And the questions of the fighters did not go beyond the scope, he said: "We are stronger than theirs, so I ask everyone not to kill them even if they are sure of complete victory." We should do this when you are dealing with the Mongols, because we have a zero-sum relationship with the Mongols. Either they die, or we die. But for the people, even the people who have made mistakes, we can't kill them all so ruthlessly. That is not the attitude towards the people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"That said, let's try to win the battle first, right?" The questioner tries to determine if his or her own thoughts are correct.

The instructor said unhappily: "Why did we deliberately lose the battle!" ”

Laughter erupted from the boat.
