Chapter 634 The Water Army Dispatched

"Bastard!"

In Daxing Palace, Yang Guang was furious, pointing at Duan Wenzhen and scolding.

In fact, everyone knows that he is not scolding Duan Wenzhen, he is just looking for a punching bag, after all, if something happens, someone has to carry it, and you can't scold the generals who lead the army outside, even with Yang Guang's domineering personality, you won't do it easily.

The generals who lead the army, they are doing things for you outside, whether they do it well or not, you have to tolerate it for the time being, if something goes wrong with the army, it will be fatal than anything.

Whether it's a takeaway brother or a courier brother, that's all for you to send a package, even if it's delayed and late, don't be angry, be considerate of each other, and finally be sure to say: hard work, give people a good review.

To give convenience to others is to give convenience to oneself.

"The king of Qi sat in Jiangnan and allowed Xiao thieves to enter Jingzhou westward, resulting in the loss of Jiangxia, which is one of his crimes," Wei Zheng said boldly:

"The situation in Jiangnan has made no progress for so long, and the rebels from all walks of life have become divided, recruiting wealthy families to manage the place and fighting against the imperial court.

This kind of thing is not said by normal people, and Wei Zheng also knows that it is not suitable to say it, but his role is to say this kind of thing that should not be said.

Why? Try to guide and lead the emperor as much as possible, so that he will become more and more distrustful of the king of Qi, that is, PUA.

Can Yang Guang fall for him?

"Shut up!" Yang Guang scolded angrily, Wei Zheng retreated in a gloomy manner, his rank is not high, but he is in the top department of Menxia Province, so he can participate in court affairs.

Yu Shiji frowned and said: "Jingzhou can't be lost, although Yang Xuancheng went to Jiangling, but there is no naval army, and the number of troops is outnumbered, it is too weak compared to the rebels, but the task of the Xiangyang Navy Division is arduous, and it cannot be transferred out of Jiangdu, how can this be good?" ”

"Alas, in the final analysis, the number of sailors on the Yangtze River should not have been revoked back then, otherwise it would not be as passive as it is today," said Dou Yan, a waiter in the Ministry of Works.

What he said means that he will not become a bigwig, because he thinks too shallowly.

After Yang Jian destroyed Chen, he abolished the establishment of various naval divisions, leaving only the Jiangdu and Xiangyang naval armies, and also reduced the maintenance costs of the naval divisions in various ways, that is, to prevent the emergence of large fleets on the Yangtze River.

If the Yangtze River is full of water divisions, it will be a big threat to the imperial court, after all, the center of power of the Great Sui is in the north.

The military department Mingya said: "Xiangyang Naval Division, the fleet is majestic, and it should be possible to transfer half of it back to Jingzhou." ”

"How?" Mai Tiezhu frowned and said: "There are only about 10,000 people in total, and there are 70,000 or 80,000 rebels who have entered Jiangxia, what can you do if you transfer a few thousand people back?" It has already been said in the newspaper that the Wuchang rebels are renovating the civilian wharf in the county and plan to build a sailor, once they succeed, it will not be easy for Jingzhou to get it back. ”

Yu Zhongwen said: "How can it be so easy to build a ship? At present, except for the craftsmen in Xiangyang, there is no one who can build a five-tooth big ship, and the drawings of big ships such as the Huanglong ship are also in the hands of the imperial court, so they can build some second-floor ships at most, so what can they do? ”

"How can the prince know how to build a five-tooth ship?" Yang Guang frowned and looked at Xuan Gan: "Your furniture has the blueprints of the five teeth?" ”

How to build the five-tooth ship, the secretary of the palace has a file, but it is far less detailed than Yang Su's family, because the five-tooth ship was built by Yang Su.

Yang Xuangan hurriedly said: "No, the prince sat in Jingzhou back then, and saw that Wuya was a fortress in the river, indestructible, so he dismantled one, and then it will be built, most of the Baling craftsmen who built Wuya in the early years are no longer alive, and the craftsmanship has been lost." ”

"This is true," Pei Ju helped: "The ship that the prince dismantled is the five teeth that Yang Jun secretly hid after destroying Chen, and it was the eldest princess who helped the prince to come." ”

Yang Guang raised his eyebrows and looked at Yang Hao, the king of Liang.

Yang Hao hurriedly said: "Father does have a five-tooth, it is in Jiujiang County, Jingzhou, when it was raided by the two saints, the five-tooth was originally in the list, I don't know why it is gone, and the minister only later knew that it was the prince who was leaving." ”

"He's really good at picking up bargains," Yang Guang snorted coldly: "I can't look down on gold and silver treasures, I asked for a boat, I don't even know that there is such a thing, you all know, but I don't know." ”

Yang Hao hurriedly said with a bitter face: "The minister thinks His Majesty knows." ”

"In this way, the prince should have drawings," Pei Yun said: "It is better to send people from the Ministry of Engineering to Baling County in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to rebuild the ship according to the old method." ”

"There's no need for that," Yang Zhiji said lightly: "Back then, the shipbuilding in Baling was because the Chen Dynasty had not been destroyed, and now the south has been annexed, but there is just a gang of anti-thieves, and there is no need for such fanfare and financial resources." ”

Su Wei nodded and said: "It's really not necessary, it's too late, the rebellion in Jiangnan must be suppressed quickly, and it can't be delayed, or urge the King of Qi to let him destroy Du Fuwei as soon as possible, so that he can free up his hands and fight Xiao Miao's rebels with Jingzhou." ”

Cui Junsu agreed: "If you want to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, you still need to recruit An, if Wei Xuan followed the prince's path and appeased Jiangnan earlier, it would not be the current situation." ”

"Spread the decree to protect the child," Yang Guang said in a deep voice: "Before June, no matter what method he takes, he must exterminate the thief, and I will live." ”

, this is not easy, the corners of Su Wei's mouth twitched: "Isn't it too difficult for him?" ”

Yang Guang was suddenly furious: "Then you go!" ”

Well, I stopped talking, and Su Wei lowered his head with his shoulders collapsed.

On the Luoyang side, he received the news earlier than Jingshi, so Yang Ming arranged for someone to inform Shen Lun early that the opportunity was right, so he went to Jingzhou.

And Danyang, on the other hand, is already in full swing.

Laihu'er has a total of twelve sons, the youngest is only five years old this year, and the eldest grandson Laiyu is already in his twenties, but the eleventh and twelfth sons of the family were all prime ministers during the Tang Dynasty.

If it weren't for the Jiangdu Palace change in history, the most promising son of Laihu'er should be the eldest son.

Yang Guang's guard, who came to Kai, was later a thousand cattle during the period of Prince Yang Guang, and after gilding, he has been following his father, this person is quite knowledgeable.

Laihu'er's cultivation of the eldest son is also inexhaustible.

Jurong County took it effortlessly, and then Lai Kai led 10,000 people to storm Jiangning City.

As for Laihu'er, it was to garrison troops in the south, providing cover for Laikai, blocking the direction of Xuancheng County, and Miao Haichao and Li Zitong's support for Jiangning.

Taking Jiangning County, Jiangdu and Jiangning will be linked, and the troops and baggage will be transported in a steady stream.

Of course, that's a later thing, Yang Jun won't move now, he wants to see if Lai Hu'er is bragging.

In the waters of the Yangtze River, Du Fuwei's 6,000 sailors and 26 boats were the first to arrive near Jiangning, and their task was not to fight with the Xiangyang navy, because they would definitely not be able to do it, but to block the navy and provide an opportunity for the upstream army to cross the river.

Because between Liyang and Jiangning, across the Yangtze River, you have to cross the river to help Fu Gongyi, if you can't get over, you have an army of 200,000, and it is also for nothing.

Not everyone has the ability to cross the Yangtze River, and those who have this ability can't get by with weapons.

And Shen Lun's strategic purpose is to blockade the Yangtze River, and no one wants to pass under my nose.

As soon as the two sailors engaged, a five-tooth ship, under the cover of the surrounding ships, rampaged like O'Neill on a basketball court.

The process of the Hedong refinery has been improving, the thinnest refined steel skin is riveted, nailed to both sides of the hull, this thing is not easy to rust, don't think about the fire attack, there is a giant thorn wrapped in refined iron in the bow of the ship, who hits, who is finished.

The chief general of Du Fuwei's water army, named Dai Yi, was once a famous water bandit in the south of the Yangtze River and was proficient in water.

But being proficient in water and being proficient in water warfare are two different things, and the folk wild swimming team and the national swimming team are two different concepts.

Seeing that a second-floor boat was directly smashed by the Wuya ship, and the hull of the ship was like being cut in half, sinking horizontally to both sides, Dai Yi hurriedly ordered all ships to stop horizontally on the river, and the ropes between the boats were fixed, and they were anchored in the water, intending to form a water obstacle to block the passage of the Xiangyang Naval Division, so as to buy time for the river crossing army behind.

His strategic goal is to cover the infantry army across the river, and Dai Yi is not stupid, knowing that he can't do it on the other side, and the boat is too big.

Cai Ju, who was in charge of the five-tooth fleet, immediately ordered to break the formation with a fireboat, the bow of which was covered with hay and crushed wood wolf dung, poured with fire oil, and rushed towards the opposite side.

A fireboat, with only six men on it, two to steer the boat, one to set fire, one with a large shield, to cover the last two to throw the ship's huge anchor into the water.

This is, of course, to nail the fireship in a fixed position, because they are going up against the current, and if they are not fixed, the fireboat will float back to their side.

After doing these things, they can jump into the water and run.

Raging flames and billowing smoke rose up in the Yangtze River.

As more and more ships caught fire, Dai Yi had no choice but to order the soldiers on the ship to abandon the ships and retreat to both shores.

He couldn't stop it, he couldn't stop it at all, and now he could only hope that the fireboats on the river would burn for a while longer, and he could delay for as long as he could.

After the attack by the Xiangyang naval army, six red ships were responsible for clearing the way, and these ships were equipped with trebuchets that would smash the already burned ships to pieces and let the wreckage drift away from the current.

From early morning to the next day, Du Fuwei's army was completely annihilated.

The Xiangyang Sailor went upstream, impacting the six pontoon bridges that had been built upstream and were crossing the river quickly.

In addition to the pontoon bridge, there are also countless small boats ferrying on the river.

The moment the five-tooth ship arrives, all this will cease to exist.

I am invincible on the Yangtze River, a pontoon bridge, not to mention a five-tooth ship, a yellow dragon can break it, as for the boat on the river, the six big slapsticks on the five teeth, like a fly, one sink.

The 15,000 rebels under Du Fuwei's command who had crossed the Yangtze River instantly became a lone army, with Laihu'er in front and Xiangyang Navy behind, no supplies, no food, and they didn't know who the key was.

Glancing at the huge fleet behind the buttocks like a city wall, across the river, the rebel army of 10,000 and a half was disbanded on the spot, and everyone went their separate ways.
