Chapter 37: The Great War is Imminent
After Hami stopped Wang Zuo and his entourage from searching the car without success, he let them out of Dazhai. At this time, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing, who had successfully infiltrated the gold camp, stood outside the door of the carpentry workshop disguised as Jin Bing, who were guarding and supervising the workers. In this way, they can secretly protect the safety of Hu Yantong and Shi Yisheng, and they can deliver news at any time, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Because the war was imminent, the soldiers of the Jin State were all born in the north and did not know how to fight water warfare, so Hami Chi was ordered by Jin Wushu to go to the water village to assist in defense and soldier training. After verifying the identities of all the personnel entering and leaving the barracks, Hami Chi asked the guard general Tongyali to take out the "Shuizhai Attendance Record". After Tongyali handed over the records to Hamichi, Hamichi found that Copperyali's lieutenant Moduli had not returned since he went out ten days ago.
Hamichi pointed to the record and asked Coppertooth, what did Moduri do?
Coppertooth told Hamichi that Moduri should return after escorting the third batch of supplies, but he has not yet returned.
Hami couldn't help frowning after listening to Tong Ya Li's story, he was worried that Tong Ya Li had fallen into the hands of the Song State, so that it might leak his country's military information. Therefore, Hamichi immediately drafted a letter and asked Mohahu to go to Lin'an to find Qin Hui after dressing up.
After checking the attendance records of the generals, Hami Chi asked Tongyali to lead the way and went to the carpentry workshop with him to supervise the work. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing saw Hami's arrival from a distance, and hurriedly stood in place.
After arriving at the door of the carpentry workshop, Hami Chi glanced at Fu Tianpeng's back, and then stopped to take a closer look at his figure. Hami's gaze was sharp and thorough, as if he wanted to understand the other party's thoughts. Fu Tianpeng stood in place, already deeply feeling this invisible pressure from his heart, he felt that if Hamichi didn't leave, he might be unstable on his feet.
Zhao Xueqing on the side secretly made Fu Tianpeng look at him, asking him to calm down and not be too nervous. At this time, a soldier ran in from outside and said to Hami Chiha: "Strategist, here is a letter from you. ”
Hamichi turned around and took the letter from the soldier's hand, and hid it in his sleeve. When he was about to enter the door, Ha Mi Chi pointed at Fu Tianpeng and said to Tong Yali: "This soldier's figure is too thin, and he really lacks the burly man of our Dajin Kingdom. By the way, is the duty here changed regularly? ”
Faced with Hamichi's questioning, Bronze Yali nodded. Then the two entered the carpentry workshop and went to supervise the progress of the shipbuilding. After Hamichi entered the house, Fu Tianpeng breathed a sigh of relief. He whispered to Zhao Xueqing: "This person is really difficult to deal with, he is standing behind me, which makes me feel like I am stabbed in the back." ”
Zhao Xueqing replied softly: "Of course, he is the military advisor of the Jin Kingdom, can he be an idle person?" ”
With Hami Chi here, Fu Tianpeng secretly told himself that he had to be careful in everything, so as not to let him discover the flaws. His own safety is a small matter, and it is a big deal that affects Marshal Han's overall plan.
Just as Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xiaoqing were muttering quietly, they heard a noise from the woodworking workshop. Fu Tianpeng listened carefully and found that the person who spoke was Hu Yantong. I only heard Hu Yantong say: "Here, the place of the gangway should be reinforced, and the deck should also be widened and thickened." The generals of the Jin State were not very accustomed to water warfare, and this could reduce the bumps in the wind and waves on the river. ”
Hami Chi was behind Hu Yantong and looked at him carefully for a long time. Seeing that he was properly arranged and commanded, he was very happy. Hami squinted his eyes and walked up to Hu Yantong and asked him about some personal information. Hu Yantong replied like a stream, and Hami nodded again and again.
After talking for a while, Hami suddenly said to Hu Yantong: "You are from the Great Song Dynasty, how can you help us do things here?" ”
Hu Yantong saw Ha Mi Chi throwing such an embarrassing question, instead of showing the slightest unhappiness on his face, he shouted in a loud voice: "We Han people have a saying that those who know the times are Junjie. Dajin is a strong soldier and has occupied half of the world. In time, it will be absolutely easy to unify the Central Plains by waving his army to the south. The little one is just doing it in accordance with the sky. ”
After listening to Hu Yantong's words, Hami Chi grinned and couldn't stop laughing. He ordered a reward of one hundred taels of gold for Huyantong. After Hu Yantong took the gold, he thanked Hami again and again. Hamichi told Hu Yantong that as long as he was loyal to the Dajin Kingdom, he would enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future.
After talking to Hu Yantong about the shipbuilding situation for a while, Hami Chi went to the cabin with Tong Yali and Shi Yi. The three of them closed the hatch tightly and talked in detail about the detailed plan for this battle with the Song Dynasty sailors.
Shi Yisheng told Hamichi that Han Shizhong's sailors had been in battle for a long time, and all of them were brave. Water warfare is a weakness for us, but it must also be overcome. Otherwise, if the Yangtze River cannot be opened, then the pace of southward expansion will inevitably stop.
Hamichi and Tongyali nodded after listening to Shi Yisheng's words, and then Hamichi said to Shi Yisheng: "Mr. Shi is erudite and talented, proficient in the art of war, and must have a way to win at this moment." ”
Shi Yisheng took out the topographic map of the waters around Zhenjiang, spread it out on the table, and invited Hamichi and Tongyali to come. The two of them stood at the table and listened carefully to Shi Yisheng's explanation. Shi Yisheng said to Hamichi: "Most of the naval divisions of the Kazakh military division and Han Shizhong's naval division are sharp-bottomed wooden sailing ships, which are light and dexterous, suitable for individual combat, and easy to control. The disadvantage is that it is slow in headwinds and is vulnerable to large ships in open areas. ”
After listening to Shi Yisheng's words, Hami Chi clapped his hands again and again, and then he took out the secret letter from his sleeve and said to Shi Yisheng and Tong Yali: "Mr. Shi's words coincide with what he said in the letter, it seems that our army must use its own ship advantage in the open area to completely wipe out Han Shizhong's sailors along the river. ”
Shi Yisheng took over and said, "Ha Junshi, I already have an excellent location to annihilate Han Shizhong's water division. ”
After listening to Shi Yisheng's story, Hami was immediately overjoyed. He hurriedly asked Shi Yisheng, where is this ambush location?
Shi Yisheng pointed to one on the map, and then marked a place with a pen. Hamichi stretched his neck to the map and found that the place name marked by Shi Yisheng was called "Huang Tiandang".
Hamichi pointed to the map and hurriedly asked Shi Yisheng about the geography of Huang Tiandang's area. Shi Yisheng told Hamichi that the waterways here in Huang Tiandang are vertical and horizontal and the transportation is smooth, and Yang Guang spent a lot of money to dig up the silt and clean up the blockage for the convenience of shipping in the south of the Yangtze River. Later generations continued to govern,
Never stop.
After listening to Shi Yisheng's words, Hami laughed, and he said to Shi Yisheng: "Mr. Shi's loach boat has a deep draft, and I am afraid that the waterway will be blocked and it will be easy to be attacked by Han Shizhong's warship. What you said can dispel my worries. ”
Shi Yisheng said with a smile: "Harbin Junshi, now we are ready for everything, only the east wind is owed." I heard that the grain vanguard sent out by Han Shizhong lost the grain and grass of the army. Hahaha, that's a good thing. I think that in the past two days, Han Shizhong's camp will definitely be very lively. ”
Hami Chi also clapped his hands and laughed, and he said to Shi Yisheng and Tong Yali: "Hey, hey, now Han Shizhong's grain and grass are about to run out, as long as we cut off the supply lines of water and drought, and divide and surround them." In the end, if we encircle and annihilate it by trapping and killing them, we can completely solve the blockade along the river. At that time, the soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom will be able to destroy the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. ”
At this moment, Shi Yisheng "made suggestions" again, and he told Hamichi that although the situation is favorable to us, the necessary information transmission must be done well. As long as the Song Dynasty is so chaotic, let's give them a chance to win in chaos.
Ha Mi nodded, and he immediately ordered a few capable soldiers to disguise themselves as fishermen and go to Zhenjiang to spy on the reality of Han Shizhong's camp. These people took a few light boats that night and quietly came to the area under the jurisdiction of the Southern Song Dynasty Naval Division.
When they arrived at Zhenjiang, the fishermen saw notices posted all over the city gates. When they stepped forward to take a look, they saw that the notice read: Because of the lack of military food in the water village along the river, they specially bought grain from the people of the city. Those who have surplus food at home can send grain directly to the camp. Ben Shuai will be purchased at ten times the price of the market. Han Shizhong was written at the check-in and stamped with the handsome seal.
When the fishermen saw the notice, they hid in the corner and covered their mouths and snickered. One of them whispered: "It seems that Han Shizhong has reached the end of the crossbow, hehehe." Let's wait patiently for chaos in his camp here, and then inform the Kazakh division to annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”
Just as the fishermen were muttering quietly, two soldiers burst out of Leng Unexpectedly, and they scuffled and cursed. When the fishermen saw all this, they hid from afar and watched.
I heard one of the soldiers say, "I obviously found this fish first." Why are you robbing me? ”
Another soldier said, "Those who see it have a share, and besides, this fish is not your family." Why can't I take it? ”
The two of them don't give in to each other's words, and they also go back and forth on their fists and feet. In a short time, the clothes of both soldiers were torn. When these fishermen dressed as golden soldiers saw this, they were secretly amused.
Just when the soldiers were making a fuss, Han Yanzhi came over with a team of soldiers. When he saw the soldiers scuffling together, he was immediately furious. Han Yan roared: "Stop, the two of you are fighting each other at the gate of the city as soldiers, which has seriously violated military discipline." Come on, pull them down and beat them with five hundred sticks. ”
When the two soldiers heard this, they fell to their knees. They begged: "Major General, this is not because of the lack of food in the camp, we don't have enough to eat. That's why in order to fight for food, they scuffled together in the streets. Raise your noble hand and spare us this time. ”
After listening to the soldier's answer, Han Yan said angrily: "No, the lack of food in the camp is a fact, but it can't be used as a reason to violate military discipline. The two of you have already damaged the image of the sailor by scuffling in the street, and you must be severely punished. ”
With that, Han Yan asked the soldiers to press the two to the ground, and then the big sticks that were as dense as rain slapped down on their backs and legs. The two soldiers were beaten and rolled on the ground, weeping bitterly.
After the beating of the stick, Han Yanzhi told the two to hurry back to the camp and not delay here for a moment. After speaking, Han Yanzhi led the team away with a smoke.
When the two soldiers saw Han Yan go straight, they scolded him. One of the soldiers said: "In such a special situation, General Han not only did not listen to our explanation, but also imposed such a heavy punishment. I see that there is a shortage of food in this camp, and sooner or later the Jin people will break through. Taking advantage of this moment, it is better to go to them. ”
After hearing this, the other soldier also said indignantly: "This Han Yanzhi is too unsympathetic. The two of us were born and died for the Great Song Dynasty, and there was no merit and hard work. In the end, I can't even eat a full meal. It's all life anywhere, go and find a time to go to the golden people. ”
The two of them, you say a word, I say a word. All that was said was heard by the fishermen, and when they saw this, they flashed out. A few people stood in front of the two soldiers, and then said, "You two want to go to the Jin Kingdom, you are really bold." ”
When the two soldiers saw the fishermen coming out to stop them, they immediately drew their swords and tried to fight with them. The fishermen laughed when they saw this, and this laughter shocked Song Bing.
