Chapter 834 Mei Zizhou Head
There is a huge Jiangxinzhou not far from the mouth of the Qinhuai River in Xiaguan, Nanjing, because the shape is like a plum, it is also called Meizizhou. N ∈ Meizizhou is not small, about four miles wide and ten miles long, and the area is comparable to the size of a medium-sized city. Like a huge warship anchored in the middle of the river, it cuts the Yangtze River in half, splitting the river in two and rolling through the narrow channel on both sides.
At this moment, Meizizhou is no longer the quiet appearance of weekdays, Song Nan's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have arrived on Jiangxinzhou for 6 consecutive years, and they are busy building fortifications and erecting cannons, rocket artillery and other firearms at the commanding heights; On both sides, more than 2,000 ships of various kinds were docked densely, and the dense soldiers were busy in them, looking both chaotic and in full swing.
Song Nan stood on top of a huge rock at the head of the continent with a military uniform in his hand, holding the handle of the embroidered spring knife, and dozens of local officials in Nanjing and the generals of the Beijing camp stood beside him, all of whom were invited by Song Nan to participate in the battle; The news from the front has already arrived, Zhu Chenhao has already passed Dangtu in the afternoon, and it is estimated that he will arrive in the Yangtze River area west of Nanjing at dark, which is when this big war is about to start.
Everyone stood on a high place, very puzzled by what the soldiers on both sides were doing, these soldiers were loading mud into straw bags, and also transporting the boulders on Jiangxinzhou to all kinds of small boats, I don't know what Song Nan is going to do, Liao Zhizhang, the third thousandth household of Jin Wuwei, frowned, and finally couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Zhenguogong, what are we doing on this Jiangxinzhou?" What are the brothers doing with mud and sand and gravel on the ship? ”
Song Nan smiled and touched the stubble that came out of his chin, and said, "Meet the enemy, Zhu Chenhao's rebels came to the city when they spoke, did they play at home?" ”
Liao Zhizhang was stunned and said: "However, the plan that Grandpa Guo said in the morning is not like this, didn't you say that the rebels are going to attack from the Qinhuai River estuary, let's gather troops and horses on the river surface of the Qinhuai River estuary and have a head-on confrontation with the rebels?" Or do you say that these boats will be laden with straw and firewood, sprinkled with fire oil, and take advantage of the chaos to rush into the rebel camp from the river beaches on both sides and set fire to the ships, spreading the fire to the rebel ships? ”
Song Nan smiled: "Yes, that's what I said. ”
Liao Zhizhang said: "Then why is it now a mud bag to transport stones?" Could it be that it is necessary to build a dam at the mouth of the Qinhuai River to strengthen the city wall of the estuary? ”
Song Nan smiled: "I forgot to explain to you, after lunch, I changed my mind." The plan to meet the enemy at the mouth of the Qinhuai River has been nullified, and now it is my new plan that is being implemented. I was about to tell you about this, that these small boats were not capable of fighting at all, but that they had other uses, and when they were filled with stones and mud, I would chain them together in chains, and then drag them to the river channels on both sides and scuttle them in large boats. ”
"Huh?" The crowd exclaimed with their mouths wide open.
"Scuttle them? Zhen Guogong means...... Do you want to talk about the river water on both sides of the blockage? Commander Jin Wuwei asked Yan Pingdao in surprise.
Song Nan waved his hand and said, "That's not it, the rolling river, how can you stop it?" Isn't this a mantis arm blocking the car? I'm not trying to stop the river, I'm just putting some obstacles under it. In the deep waters of the river, I have already towed dozens of abandoned warships of the Nanjing Navy Division here, and they will also be scuttled here after these big ships are filled with stones and mud. I have calculated, the deepest waterways on both sides of Jiangxinzhou are two zhang deep, and most of the waterways next to them are zhang deep, and after the shipwreck sank here, even if the rebels' big ships can barely get through guò, they can only pass guò from the deep water one by one. The rest is probably going to run aground on the shallow waterways on either side. In the rear, more than 100 of my warships are waiting for them to come over one by one and solve them one by one. You are seeing, on the high ground on both sides of Meizizhou, the 100 cannons and 80 rocket launchers I brought are in place. Once they run aground on the waterways on either side, they immediately become live targets. All in all, Zhu Chenhao will usher in a great gift from me. ”
Everyone will be stunned, this plan is simply incredible, who would have thought that the purpose of Song Nanguang's expedition to civilian ships was to make these ships full of mud and stones to sink in the middle of the river to become an underwater reef, no wonder looking at those small boats not only loaded with soil and stones, but also loaded tall logs on the soil and stones, I am afraid that after the ship sinks, let these logs be erected in the river water as an obstruction.
The local officials all knew that in the shallow water area on both sides of Jiangxinzhou, if these small boats were to sink and stabilize, they would inevitably block the passage, and as for the deep water area, the height of the ship's warships from the mast to the bottom of the ship was a certain high, and once it was chiseled, it would definitely become a reef in the water, not to mention that Song Nan would definitely order someone to lengthen the height of those masts, take reinforcement measures, and decide to block the waterway.
Song Nan smiled and looked at everyone: "What?" Is there anything wrong with my battle plan? ”
Huang Jue picked his fingers and praised: "Grandpa Guo really Zhuge Kongming is alive, such a strategy, such a big stroke, if Zhu Chenhao doesn't break here, I, Huang Jue, will jump into the Yangtze River." Xia Guan only understood at this moment, last year the Lord swept the Tartars in the northwest to recover the Hetao overnight, many people, including Xia Guan, thought that it was the luck of the adults, but presumably because the Grandpa Guo was clever and strategic, the Tartars were not the opponents of the Grandpa Guo at all, even if they had fast horses and giant cannons, it was impossible to escape the way to destruction. ”
Song Nan laughed and said: "Lord Huang is a little embarrassed to talk like this, I can't stand it, I can't stand it." ”
Huang Jue was about to shoot a few more sycophants, and suddenly heard Song Nan shouting: "Is that Jin Wuwei's Feng Qianhu?" Where are you going? ”
Everyone didn't notice that someone was leaving, and when they heard Song Nan's words, everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that Feng Xiaoyi, the thousandth household of Jin Wuwei, was already next to a bush more than ten steps away, and was awkwardly stopping.
"This ...... The last general suddenly remembered a military matter and hurried back to the city to deal with it. Grandpa Guo's plan has changed, and the lowly soldiers and horses have been concentrated at the mouth of the Qinhuai River, and the lowly duty is to mobilize all the soldiers and horses to help transport the earth and stones onto the ship; There doesn't seem to be enough manpower here. ”
Song Nan laughed and said: "What I said makes sense, I am speechless." Feng Qianhu rest assured, the soldiers and horses of Jin Wuwei and the pro-army guards, and the commander of the Commander Qian Hou Ye have ordered them to come in full, and they will all arrive here soon. Besides, you should report this matter before you can leave, and if you don't report it to me, you won't even say a word about your Jin Wuwei commander Lord Yan, I'm afraid this is a little unreasonable. ”
Feng Xiaoyi said: "This ...... The humble duty is anxious to prepare for the war, and Zhu Chenhao's rebels are about to arrive as he speaks, if he doesn't hurry up, I'm afraid it's a little too late. ”
Song Nan sneered: "Are you anxious? I'm afraid you're in a hurry to report to Zhu Chenhao. ”
Feng Xiaoyi was shocked, and the officials also changed color in surprise, not knowing what to do.
"Feng Qianhu, did you send out the plan to meet the enemy that I told you in the morning? Is the messenger pigeons in the house enough? ”
Feng Xiaoyi exclaimed: "What is Grandpa Guo talking about? ”
Song Nan shouted: "Still pretending to be confused." Where is Zhao Dapeng? Did the commander of the Nanjing Jinyi Guard make Wang Zitong come? ”
Zhao Dapeng arched his hand and said: "I have already arrived on Jiangxinzhou, waiting for the summons of the adults." ”
Song Nan said: "Let him come." ”
After a while, Wang Zitong led more than a dozen brocade-clothed guards to climb up from below, all of whom were carrying bamboo cages in their hands, and there were things in them that were screaming and fluttering.
After seeing the ceremony, without waiting for Song Nan to ask, the prince said in a loud voice: "On the orders of Lord Song, I took people into the mansion of the twelve thousand households of Jin Wuwei's pro-military guard in the afternoon, and found 37 military pigeons and one hundred and sixty bamboo tubes in the houses of Feng Xiaoyi of the 1,000th household of Jin Wuwei, Zheng Wanqi of the 6,000th household, and Zhao Zhengping of the 2,000th household of the pro-military guard. Coming back to life. ”
Song Nan nodded and shouted: "Come on, take down Feng Xiaoyi, Zheng Wanqi, Zhao Zhengping." ”
The surrounding Jinyi guards shouted in unison, rushed forward, and captured the three of them with their arms and shoulders, Feng Xiaoyi turned pale and shouted: "Wronged, can you falsely accuse us of collaborating with the enemy with just a few pigeons?" Wronged. ”
Zhao Dapeng raised his foot and kicked in the crook of his leg, Feng Xiaoyi's leg bent and knelt on the ground, his knee knocked on the rock, and he bared his teeth in pain.
"Grandpa Guo, what's going on?" Jin Wuwei commanded Yan Pingdao, and Xu Wei, the commander of the pro-military guard, asked in amazement.
"What's going on? These thousands of your subordinates have already defected to the rebels and become Zhu Chenhao's lackeys, and as soon as Zhu Chenhao attacks, they will cooperate with us to defeat us. ”
Yan Pingdao swallowed and foamed at the mouth: "Grandpa Guo, could it be a mistake, do you mean that they are collaborators based on these pigeons alone?" This...... That's a bit far-fetched. ”
Xu Wei also said: "Yes, I can't convince people, the enemy is ...... currently."
Song Nan waved his hand to interrupt their words, took out a bamboo tube from his arms and handed it over: "Take a look for yourself, this is the information carried by the military pigeon captured from the sky by the Harrier Eagle in my army. ”
Everyone quickly circulated it, and they all looked at each other in astonishment with white faces.
Song Nan sneered: "Let's take a look at the facts for you again, come here, open the cage and release the pigeons." ”
The riders opened the wooden cage, and the military pigeons in the cage fluttered and flew out, only stopping for a moment in the sky, and then flew towards the western sky without stopping.
Song Nan said: "Did you see it?" They all flew west, so what was the reason? The trained pigeons naturally had to go home in the direction of the letter, and needless to say, these pigeons were trained by Zhu Chenhao and handed them over. And I have some research on pigeons, the pigeon wings with pittings, commonly known as 'rain spots' is a unique and precious breed in Jiangxi, is the top grade pigeon breed of the messenger military pigeon, several thousands of adults in Nanjing, when there is a Jiangxi precious pigeon breed? It's not unusual for you to like to drink and gamble, and it's a miracle to like to raise pigeons to play, and now you need me to explain more? ”
At this time, no one doubted the collusion between these three people and Zhu Chenhao, although there was not much evidence, but it was enough to prove that the three thousand households also drooped their heads and remained silent.
Song Nan said coldly: "What I hate the most is to eat people who climb inside and outside, you eat the food and salary of the court, and take the court money, but you collude with traitors, and you are completely disloyal and unfilial." Today's war is imminent, and your crimes are confirmed, so there is no need to delay, just to take you to the war to sacrifice the flag. ”
The three of them hurriedly exclaimed: "Grandpa Guo spares his life, the villain and the others are confused for a while, but begging the grandpa of the country not to kill, the villain and others are willing to confess more important information." ”
Song Nan sneered: "What information do I want from you?" I have everything here, Zhu Chenhao is a dead end when he comes, but what information do I want you to provide. You don't try to muddy the water and bite people indiscriminately, I have found out clearly, other people may have dealings with Zhu Chenhao, but they have not become his lackeys, endangering the court for him, as long as they do their best to defend Nanjing with me, I will not pursue those things, and you are unforgivable. Come on, do it. ”
Hou Dabiao promised loudly, personally pulled out the snow bright and thin embroidered spring knife, more than a dozen guards escorted the three people to the side of the rock and ordered to kneel on the ground, Hou Dabiao raised the knife and fell steadily and quickly, in an instant, the heads of the three people rolled down the slope, and the three corpses fell to the ground, blood gushed out, shocking.
The officials in Nanjing were silent, how could anyone dare to gasp for breath.
