When Wang Yong came to the shore of Jishui in the north of the city, the envoy of the Southern Dynasty had already disembarked and waited, which was beyond Wang Yong's expectations.

You must know that the Southern Dynasty has always been ruled by the scholars, and these scholars are arrogant and arrogant, and even the emperor will look down on them if he is from a cold 'door', and this time he took the initiative to get off the boat to greet Wang Yong and others.

The envoy sent by Chen Baxian was dressed in a high crown and wide clothes, although he was wearing the costume of a scribe, but at a glance, he knew that he was an officer who had been practicing martial arts all year round and not a scribe, and his face was only in his twenties, which was very young.

Seeing Wang Yong and others coming, this person also greeted everyone with a smile, and there was no jerkiness at all when they met for the first time.

"I have heard about Langjun's reputation in the Northland for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, it was really heroic!" As soon as the envoy spoke, he put on a high hat, "Down there is the envoy of the Chen Dynasty, Wu Qiong, the son of Wu Mingche, who has seen all the heroes!" ”

"What, your father is Wu Mingche?" As soon as Wu Qiong's words fell, Xiao Jing here had a surprised expression, and reacted a little louder, 'making everyone a little strange', didn't this guy come with you?

After Xiao Jing's introduction, everyone learned that Wu Qiong's father, Wu Mingche, was Chen Baxian's confidant in the Chen Dynasty, and he could be regarded as the number one person.

Wu Mingche, the word Tongzhao, is a native of Qinjun, Jiangbei, lost his father at an early age, he is the most filial piety, when Wu Mingche was fourteen years old, he lamented that his father died but there was no cemetery, and the family was too poor to prepare, so he worked hard to farm.

At that time, there was a severe drought in the world, and the seedlings and crops were scorched, Wu Mingche was sad and angry, and every time he went to the field, he cried and wept, and looked up to the sky to complain about his suffering. In the fall, there is a bumper harvest, which is enough for burial.

(I don't know if it's because there are too many tears that can be irrigated, there were actually a lot of such things at that time)

When Emperor Wu of Liang Hou Jingzhi's 'chaos', there was a great 'chaos' in various parts of the Southern Dynasties, and Wu Mingche and his family had more than 3,000 pieces of corn and wheat because of their ability to cultivate, which could be regarded as a wealthy family.

But Wu Mingche saw that the neighbors and villagers were hungry, so he said to his brothers: "Now in the countryside, there are many thieves and thieves, and it is difficult for everyone to think about it for a long time, why is there so much corn and wheat but not shared with the neighbors?" ”

After convincing his family and brothers, Wu Mingche divided it equally according to the size of each family, and he got as much as his neighbors.

When the rogue thieves around Qin County heard about this, they all avoided passing near Wu Mingche's house, and in this great famine, there were many people who survived on these corns.

When Chen Baxian was ordered to guard Jingkou, he heard about Wu Mingche's deeds, so he sent people several times and sincerely asked Wu Mingche to make friends with him.

After a 'handover' talk, Chen Baxian appreciated Wu Mingche very much, and was immediately named General Rong Zhao and Anzhou Assassin.

In the following time, Wu Mingche has been following Chen Baxian, and by the time Chen Baxian replaced Xiao Liang to establish the Chen Dynasty, he was already a high-ranking general.

It seems that Chen Baxian sent the son of such a confidant general to him, on the one hand, to show his determination to form an alliance, and on the other hand, he may also have the intention of inspecting his own combat strength.

After all, Chen Baxian had already taken out all his family resources to go on the Northern Expedition this time, and he must have a comprehensive understanding of the strength of his allies in the northern Sanqi land.

After some consideration, Chen Baxian finally selected Wu Qiong, the son of his henchman Wu Mingche, so Wu Qiong had a considerable responsibility for this trip, and was summoned into the palace by Chen Baxian before leaving.

At the beginning, when Wu Qiong came to Long Island with Xiao Jing, she was very unoptimistic about the strength of Wang Yong's side, so she did not have a good face for Xiao Jing.

At that time, the islands of the Long Island archipelago were full of refugees who had fled to the island, as well as people who had been transported to the island after Wang Ze captured Qizhou.

These people add up to nearly 100,000 people, and if it weren't for the fact that a large number of people were organized to harvest the grain in Muping, Weihai, Chengshan and other places, there would be even more.

Not to mention that everything on the island is a 'mess', because the main military forces on the island are all fighting outside, and only more than 1,000 militiamen are on duty.

At most, these militias are equipped with some inferior long knives, and then simple weapons such as spears, and they do not even have uniform uniforms.

When Wu Qiong saw these situations, he thought that Chen Ba had been deceived by Xiao Jing first, and how to achieve great things by relying on the strength of the island.

At this time, Sun Xing was ordered to support Wang Ze and transport a large number of people from Changdao to Qizhou, and Wu Qiong found out that Wang Yong's side actually had a large number of 'elite' ships, and even some of the ships were obviously different from Nan Chen's.

Wu Mingche, the father of Wu Qiong, is now the general of the Southern Navy, so Wu Qiong is also very familiar with ships, and immediately saw that the shape of these ships is longer, which is more suitable for sea navigation than the warships of the Southern Dynasty.

According to Wu Qiong's estimates, the speed of the sea vessels owned by these people was twice as fast as that of the large ships with the same load as Nan Chen's sailors.

Of course, Nan Chen and the flywheel warship invented by Zu Chongzhi back then are faster than this, but the flywheel ship is a small boat and can only sail on inland rivers, and it cannot withstand the strong wind and waves at sea.

During the voyage of the fleet, Wu Qiong constantly observed each warship, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became, and he began to have a new impression of the forces on Wang Yong's side.

A few days later, the ships entered the mouth of the Jishui estuary from the sea, and at that time, they encountered two naval divisions fighting together at the mouth of the Jishui River, and the fleet warships that they followed did not stop at all.

After waving the flag on the big ship he was on, a large group of warships around him immediately entered the battle, and in less than an hour, they annihilated the fleet flying the flag of the Northern Qi Naval Division.

Wu Qiong was shocked again this time, it turned out that Wang Yong's side had more than one naval division, and the combined warships of the two naval divisions were more than a hundred.

Wu Qiong, who had been immersed in shock, did not react to Sun Xing and Qu Liulang's rapid annihilation of the Qi army's water division.

Today, at dawn, Sun Xing and Qu Liulang launched another attack on the Qiguo Huai Surabaya Division, and Wu Qiong saw it clearly this time.

Although there are no giant ships on the southern rivers such as the Qinglong Ship, there are many ships, building ships, fighting ships, and boats, and there are at least tens of thousands of officers and men on board.

Such a naval division can be regarded as a powerful water force even in Nanchen, where the naval army is strong, not to mention the northern part where the naval division has always been weak.

But such a powerful naval army did not even allow the ships of Sun Xing and Qu Liulang's naval army to get close, and slowly disappeared into the water in the fire and explosions.

The water was full of floating planks and corpses, and none of the warships escaped, of course, there were a group of soldiers of the Qi Army who swam to the north bank of Jishui to escape because of the good water 'sex', but no one cared because of the lack of manpower.

It wasn't until the sailors on Sun Xing's flagship began to pack up and clean the weapons on the deck that Wu Qiong woke up from the shock and found that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He couldn't help but worry that if a naval division with such a strong combat strength could have the same scale as Nan Chen, no, even if it was only one-third or even one-fourth of the strength of the Nan Chen naval division, it would be able to annihilate the naval force of the Chen Dynasty.

But fortunately, Wang Yong and others, who currently have this water force, are not very powerful, and he and his own side are still allies to deal with the Northern Qi together.

As long as you deal with it well, it is even possible to 'handover' from them for this advanced method of manufacturing seagoing ships, and you can also find a way to get that kind of weapon that can explode.

Just when Wu Qiong was thinking about this, he heard that Wang Yong and the others were about to come to the dock, and he didn't dare to put on the stinky shelves of the Jiangnan Shi clan, so he hurriedly got off the boat to meet Wang Yong and the others.

Wang Yong and the others didn't know what Wu Qiong was thinking about in his heart, but he only felt that the young man in front of him was really good, and he didn't have the stinky 'hair' of those people in the Jiangnan Shi clan at all, and his impression of Wu Qiong was really good.

is such a deliberate flattery, a good first impression, and the 'exchange' between the two sides can be described as a thousand glasses of wine and confidants!

Wang Yong talked happily with Wu Qiong, and immediately took him to visit the team under his command, Wu Qiong had just seen the strength of Wang Yong's army, and now he wanted to see how Wang Yong's horse army was, and he immediately went with Wang Yong.

This is terrible, first I saw the infantry army that arranged defenses outside Jinan to prevent the Qi army in the city from escaping, and their 'elite' sharpness suppressed Wu Qiong.

Most of these infantry troops were wearing armor, although most of them were leather armor, but such equipment could not be done in Nan Chen's regular army.

In fact, Wu Qiong didn't know that the west of the city was the main point of attack for the army under Wang Yong and Wang Ze, because Murong Shaozong's siege a few days ago, the city wall had long been dilapidated, and it was easier to attack from here, and the other three sides were ordinary infantry and cavalry troops to cooperate to prevent the Qi army from fleeing.

What's even worse is that Wang Ze, Pu Yangxun and Yang Ku have already pulled out all the most 'elite' troops on their side, and the special 'gate' is arranged outside what Wu Qiong sees, forming a visual illusion.

When Wu Qiong saw the more than 5,000 cavalry in Xicheng, and then learned that Wang Yong had nearly 20,000 cavalry, it was not a matter of shock, and he wanted to buy thousands of war horses with Wang Yong with a shy face.

Due to the confrontation between the north and the south during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Southern Dynasties had a serious shortage of horses under the blockade of the North, resulting in the army and land warfare in the South being dominated by infantry.

The various generations of the Southern Dynasties guarded the border and attacked and conquered the infantry, and sometimes the naval army abandoned the boat and landed on the shore to become infantry, and the infantry occupied an extremely important position in the army of the Southern Dynasties. However, due to the lack of horse breeding land in the south, most areas in the southern dynasties did not produce horses, and horse resources were always relatively poor.

Although cavalry was the most powerful in ancient warfare because of its fast speed and strong impact power, it was never possible to form a large-scale cavalry because of the number of horses.

In the early days of Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, there were 8,000 'fine' cavalry riders under the command of Duan Hong, a cavalry general, to cooperate with the Northern Expedition of Yanzhi.

Shen Yuzhi of Song Jingzhou had 100,000 soldiers and 2,000 war horses. At that time, the cavalry of the Chinese army in the Liu and Song Dynasty courts, judging from the situation of several troop dispatches, there were more than 10,000 cavalry.

However, after a hundred years of war, when Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu raised his army, Yongzhou, known as the town of soldiers and horses, only had more than 1,000 war horses, and the Southern Dynasty suffered a great loss of national strength after Hou Jingzhi's 'chaos', and successively lost Liangzhou and Yizhou, which were places where the Qiang people 'intersected', and lost the last way to obtain horses.

After the establishment of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Ba first used the strength of the country to reap the force, and the number of cavalry under his command was only two or three thousand.

Wu Qiong thought in his heart that if he could transport back four or five thousand war horses at a time, even if no agreement was reached, this batch of war horses alone would be appreciated by Emperor Chen Wu.
