Chapter 490: The World Shakes
During the Northern Song Dynasty, political peace, political peace, and constant wars everywhere have to be said to be very ironic. And the eight years of Zhenghe, this is destined to be an extraordinary year!
In late April, on the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River, the Song army won a great victory!
After Wang Yu, Zhao Tan attacked at any cost, and Cao De's army desperately intercepted it. In the absence of reinforcements, the city of Runzhou, which was garrisoned by 100,000 heavy troops of Wu State, was lost, and at this point, he could divide his troops to the south to crusade against Fang La.
In this battle, the privy envoy Lu Shisang led the remnants of the army to flee Runzhou City. happened to meet the remnants of Cao De who were fighting and retreating, and after a fight between the two sides. LĂź Shisang was shot and killed by a stray arrow, and most of the rest of the generals were captured.
The news of this great victory was transmitted back to Bianliang City, causing the court to cheer.
Unfortunately, the hard-won joy did not last long.
At the end of April, Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, known as Chongning Zhenjun and King Wu'an (Note: This is the title of the second master during the Song Dynasty. Titles such as Guan Wu Emperor Jun and Wu Sheng, etc., all appeared after being mythologized after the Ming and Qing dynasties)
During the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yuyan sent his descendants, Dadao Guan Sheng led the imperial court with 50,000 troops into Jeju and prepared to attack Chaojiazhuang, but encountered tens of thousands of cavalry charging from the rear and crushing, the army was defeated, and the soldiers scattered and fled.
Guan Sheng and Zhang Qing led the remnants to escape from the siege and collected more than 20,000 fleeing soldiers. He wanted to keep his vital forces and withdraw from Jeju, but he was ambushed again on the way. Besieged by tens of thousands of troops, there is no way to escape.
After the loss of the army, the remnants of the army surrendered!
The news of the annihilation of the army that had attacked Jeju Chaogai spread like a storm. The government and the opposition were shaken, and Song Huizong and many traitors were incredible. It has not yet occurred to me that the self-righteous plan is purely a joke.
How did they know that the elimination of the conquest army led by Guan Sheng was only a small part of the Chaojia army, the Praetorian Guard, and the city guard army were dispatched to ambush.
I don't know the generals who led the troops, Choujun Ma Xuanzan, Zhang Qing without feather arrows, Ding Desun, and Gong Wang, the flower tiger, successively defected to the Chaojia army. Even after the last big knife Guan Sheng put on a shelf, under the persuasion of his good brothers Tang Bin and Hao Siwen, he took refuge in the situation.
If you don't surrender, you can't do it, your life will be lost!
Chao Gai did not treat these heroes badly, and was appointed to the division as a deputy. Wait until you are familiar with the rules of the army, and after passing the test, you will turn to the army.
First of all, it is necessary to attack the city with the army.
Chao Gai is not the kind of person who is beaten but does not fight back, the imperial court sent troops to kill Jeju one after another, and the tiger did not exert his might, and he really thought that he was a sick cat.
This time, the court is destined to have a big shock.
This time, Chao Jiajun showed his fangs and showed a terrifying scene to the world.
The Infantry Thunder Army, the newly formed Rock Army, coordinated to kill the entire territory of Shandong.
That is, Jingdong East Road and Jingdong West Road.
Jingdong East Road, originally stationed with the Huaiyang Army, Jingdong West Road was stationed with the Guangji Army, a total of five forbidden armies, scattered in various prefectures and counties.
It's just that because of the successive transfers to the front, there is an internal emptiness.
Around Jeju are Yunzhou, Yanzhou, Taean, Puzhou and other places, there are 20,000 elite Western troops and 100,000 recruits who have been trained for more than half a year for blockade.
But what's the use of just looking at Jinzhou?
The more than 100,000 elites of the Chao family army have long been scattered everywhere as refugees, from the wilderness village store, that is, the liaison station. Armament sent in advance. The soldiers were divided into multiple routes, with the cooperation of the soldiers who entered the city in advance and the guards of various shops and restaurants. In the middle of the night, the city gate was opened or the inside and outside should be combined, and the yamen and other institutions were quickly controlled, and the cities fell rapidly.
Even the capital city heavily guarded by the Song army could not escape this fate. Under the key care, more than 100,000 Song troops were caught off guard first, and then they were in a situation of being attacked by the enemy on their backs, becoming the turtle in the urn.
Rebels, kill!
Except for the fierce resistance of the Western Army, recruits who have not been on the battlefield. Faced with the test of life and death, choose the former between small life and loyalty.
Most laid down their arms and surrendered, and few escaped.
After the Chao Jiajun took over all the cities with the power of thunder, a Xiu who had issued a letter of appointment in advance took office from Shandong University Hall and became the county magistrate. Those who excel in overseas assessments will directly become a state taishou.
After the officials subordinate to Chaojiazhuang took office, they immediately set the list to reassure the people, opened warehouses to release grain, and provided relief to the victims. We will provide assistance to those families in need, support the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and prepare for the construction of free teaching in schools......
The process is skilful and fast!
In just a few days, Jingdong East Road, from Jinan Mansion (now Jinan, Shandong) below. The prefectures under its jurisdiction, such as Qing, Mi, Yi, Deng, and Lai, were occupied one after another.
On the East and West Roads of Beijing, in addition to Yingtianfu (now Shangqiu, Henan), Xiqing, Xingren and other prefectures, Dongping Mansion, Xu, Ji, Shan, Pu, Gong and other prefectures were successively occupied for military management. All the county towns have changed their officials and implemented innovations.
The Song army, the officials, who fled back to Bianliang City in embarrassment, also brought back this shocking news. But before the imperial court could respond, more shocking news came one after another.
The cavalry of the Chaojia Army, the Blue Wolf Army, the newly formed Eagle Yang Army (tens of thousands of war horses captured from the Goryeo Kingdom), and more than 100,000 cavalry swept the two roads of Hebei like a storm. The general who led the army was none other than Lu Junyi, the richest man in Hebei.
Hebei belongs to the border town, two roads stationed Tianwei, Beiping, Ansu, Yongning, Guangxin and other eleven armies, a total of more than 200,000 troops, but the number of roads is transferred away only 70,000 or 80,000, everywhere, the army is empty.
In addition to 100,000 iron horsemen.
Several divisions and 30,000 marines of the main island fleet fully assisted. With the meticulous work lurking in various places, it swept through all prefectures and counties at the fastest speed. Tens of thousands of cavalry soldiers divided into multiple routes and attacked the armies overnight with lightning tactics.
The Praetorian Army, who had slept in the camp at night, was wiped out. There was almost no decent resistance before they broke up, either fleeing or surrendering. These important border towns and their camps were all taken over by the elite of the Chao army.
When the Bianliang City Imperial Court reacted!
In addition to the Daimyofu, Zhending, Zhongshan and several other large mansions are struggling to support, Cang, Hebei, Bo, Di, Mo, Xiong, Ba, De, Bin, En, Qing and other prefectures have all fallen.
In addition, on Hedong Road, not long after the imperial court recovered, it changed its owner again. Tens of thousands of iron horsemen swept everywhere with lightning speed. The state city and county opened their doors to greet them, which can be called a descent from the wind.
The Huaixi battlefield also changed, Wu Jue led more than 100,000 troops to retreat to the city, and without warning, Wang Qing's army poured out as if it had erupted. More than 200,000 soldiers divided into multiple routes and attacked the camp outside the city overnight.
Overnight, Dazhai with more than 10,000 troops was razed to the ground.
It is worth mentioning that Song Jiang led the team to reinforce and stationed troops in one of them. The soldiers are in chaos, the swords have no eyes, as long as they resist stubbornly, whether they are small soldiers or leaders, they will be chased and beaten by iron horses.
In addition to the double gun, Dong Ping led dozens of people to fight out of the encirclement.
Hei Saburo Song Jiang didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he never appeared in everyone's field of vision again. Even the thug Xiong Wang Qiang, who was surrounded by him, did not contact his fellow villagers.
Hei Saburo, whether he is dead or alive, even Wang Jiang and Han Bolong, who retreated in advance, are not clear. Xiao Li Guanghuarong only sighed gloomily when he learned about it.
That's for later!
The night attack of the Chao family army was too sudden, and relying on the advantage of troops, after directly uprooting several camps, the regiments besieged the city. There were also riots in the city, and several granaries were burned to the ground. Everywhere there were incidents of smashing, looting, and burning, premeditated attacks on soldiers, and even sudden counter-attacks to kill friendly soldiers......
All kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, and there is not enough food and grass, and the army of only 100,000 is disheartened, trapped in the city, and on the verge of desperation.
The urgent letter for help was sent to Bianliang City, and at the same time, the emergency documents of Jingdong West Road, Jingdong East Road, Hebei Road, and Hedong Road flew like snowflakes.
The court shook, the world shook!
The situation has become so bad in a short period of time, Song Huizong's previous gentleness is gone, only sleep and food are difficult, and the triumph of the traitors has turned into fear.
Yes, they just feel the fear!
It was only then that they realized that the millions of people who had poured into Jeju had not been dragged down by the Chaogai, and that the severe shortage of food and the widespread starvation were just an illusion. Jeju Chaogai is not a fool, and he has been waiting for the time to come.
And the bloody battle between the imperial court and the three rebel armies, with heavy losses and empty troops, is the best opportunity!
If you don't make a move, it will be a shock, shocking the world. Several road-level areas have fallen one after another, and large territories are still connected. All of a sudden, the vitality of the Song Dynasty was greatly damaged, and he faced the Shandong Iron Cavalry at any time.
However, the bad news clearly doesn't stop there!
On Fujian Road, more than 200,000 troops suddenly appeared in the coastal areas.
It was the troops that the Nanyang Fleet had successively transported from Wajima after occupying the two islands. Siege and land. In just over 10 days, it has occupied a vast coastal area and is steadily and rapidly advancing into the interior.
Due to the distance, after the news came back, it disturbed the court even more. As a senior official from Fujian, Cai Jing's old man also panicked. The coastal area is the economic lifeblood of the imperial court, and if it is occupied, it will be difficult for the imperial court!
"What can I do, what can I do if I love it?" At the Bianliang City Dynasty Conference, Song Huizong Zhao Ji said the most about this sentence, without the momentum of the Ninety-Five Supreme, without the talent of the past, and without the bearing of the Son of Heaven.
There is only a sense of powerlessness in my heart and a panic that cannot be concealed.
The many ministers who were originally vying for power and profit in the court were like being silenced by the silence of the warlocks in the mayor's group, and those traitorous ministers lowered their sense of existence. For fear of being seen by the emperor, he couldn't say a way to click it off.
These cunning creatures lowered their eyebrows as if they were none of their business.
Fortunately, there were still some loyal ministers and good generals in the Song Dynasty who supported them and bravely made suggestions. Some people believe that Shandong Chaogai did not claim the title of king of Jianguo, nor did he openly rebel. There is a possibility of co-opting, and it is recommended that it is best to Zhao'an. At this time of life and death, Song Huizong is a faint monarch again, where should he not be allowed?
Chen Zongshan, the former lieutenant of the palace, was pushed out again and prepared to go with a heavy gift.
Unfortunately, this is just a luxury.
The gifts of the imperial court's recruitment team have not yet been prepared.
The liaison stations of the Chao Family Army were the first to spread the news, but wherever there were Chao Family Wilderness Village stores, shocking news came out inadvertently.
Chao Gai, the king of Shandong, announced that he was persecuted by the imperial court, and was no longer an official of the Song Dynasty, declaring independence, and Shandong, Hebei, Hedong and other places no longer belonged to the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty. Under the rule, the people no longer suffered, nor were they oppressed by the bureaucracy.
