Chapter 258: The house leak happened to rain overnight
In real history, the White Lotus Sect was defined as a thief, which began during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and the cause was in Fangla, south of the Yangtze River.
And because of some measures on the Liangshan side, the contradictions on the Jiangnan side did not break out for the time being, but broke out in Mizhou first.
The bald donkey in this world is a family, and the monks of the White Lotus Sect here in Liangshan have begun to rebel, and the monks from other places will certainly not be idle.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for news to come from Jiangnan, and the White Lotus Sect in Jiangnan was also reversed, and the person in charge was still Fang La.
Many of those who escaped from Song Jiang's army joined Fang La's rebel team.
With the support of this group of people, Fang La's rebellion this time was faster than in history, but in just over a month, it swept through Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan East Road, with millions of soldiers, thousands of generals, and dozens of artillery.
After Fang La occupied the territory, he also began to desperately grab craftsmen to come over to cast cannons, and it was like an arms race, and he began to roll up one by one.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and after Wang Qing fled to the Liao State, he seduced the Liao army into the Kou.
Lord Nalang sent an army of 100,000 troops to invade the Central Plains in two ways.
At this time, the emperor of Liao was Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, but there was a royal brother named Yelu Dezhong, and the imperial nephew was called Yelu Dehua and Yelu Dexin...... and I don't know how to calculate the seniority.
The border pass is 800 miles faster, day and night, one by one to the imperial court for reinforcements, Tokyo is even more frightened three times a day, for fear that when you wake up, the Liao army will come to the city.
Song Huizong hurriedly asked the national teacher Qinghuanzi again.
"Didn't you say that everything will go smoothly and there will be no danger in the future?"
"Why is the Liao army here again?"
Qinghuanzi is also panicking, but people's dead mouths have to be hard.
"Your Majesty, don't panic, with the artillery formation created by Kuixing that day, the Liao army will definitely not be able to break through the Daimyo's Mansion."
Song Huizong's heart was a little calm, so he fearfully urged the front-line intelligence and always paid attention to the changes on the battlefield.
After the Liao army crossed the Baigou River, it hit a nail in Xiongzhou and Bazhou.
Although the Song soldiers here have not heard of the war for a hundred years and dare not go out of the city to face the battle, they will still defend the city, especially after receiving a large number of artillery pieces some time ago, they will never go out of the city, and only fire artillery in the city.
Although Yelu Dezhong, the commander of the Liao State, was reminded by Wang Qing and was prepared in his heart, the first time he saw such a powerful military weapon, he was also frightened.
As soon as the round stone projectile was fired from the muzzle, it became unstoppable, and a fleshy trench cut through the formation.
To make matters worse, the range of the cannon was terrifying, and it could hit miles in one shot, a distance that even catapults could not reach the city walls.
With this kind of militaristic weapon, how will Da Liao compete with the Song State in the future?
What's more, listening to what Wang Qing said, there was still a heavy artillery in the Song army that shot more than ten miles away, which was even more shocking.
"General Wang, if you have to remind me, my Liao Kingdom will die!"
"Now that the king wants to bring this cannon back to the country, do you have a way?"
"As long as our country also gets this heavy treasure, Your Majesty will definitely reward you."
Wang Qing said:
"This cannon is easy to cast, but the difficulty lies in the guidance of the craftsman."
"The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have their own skilled craftsmen, but they have never seen such a divine object, the king only needs to catch a few craftsmen who have cast cannons and go back as a guide, and they can naturally be restored in Daliao as it is."
"Even if the power of the new cannon is not exactly the same, it will not differ too much."
"I expect that the artillery is valuable, but it is only found in the big city, but it may not be arranged in the small city, and the king can attack the small city and take away the craftsmen in the city, and there may be craftsmen who have entered the big city to cast cannons."
"If there is also artillery in that small city, the king will only have to take more lives to fill it, and after capturing the small city, he can directly take the ready-made artillery away."
And Jerod was so convinced that he sent an order to scatter all the parts and plunder them in all directions, not daring to provoke the great cities with artillery, but to attack the small cities that were surrounded by them.
Although this place is the border, it has not heard of war for a hundred years, and the Song army in the city has long been rotten, where can it withstand the attack of the Liao army, and it is easy to be broken by the Liao army.
In the past, the Liao army went south to loot gold, silver and grain, and burned those that could not be taken away, but now they not only burn and loot, but also destroy the fields, and catch all kinds of craftsmen everywhere, and rob them with their families.
Where did the guards in the big city know what the Liao army thought, and they just wanted to defend the city without losing it, as long as the big city was unharmed, it would be a great achievement, and where to pay attention to the Liao army raging outside.
Nayerod calmly plundered all the surrounding counties, and then carefully sifted through them, and sure enough, the craftsmen who had made the cannons were selected.
Yelude was as heavy as a treasure, and even if he hired these craftsmen to return to Liao with him with a lot of money, those craftsmen's families were already in his hands, so he dared to refuse, so he had to go with him.
After the Liao army retreated, the defender who dominated the two states celebrated with his crown, attributed all the credit to himself, wrote a lot of excerpts asking for merit, and sent people to the capital quickly.
Although they did not fire a single arrow in this battle, not a single person died, and they were only firing artillery throughout the whole battle, it did not affect them to write the battle damage high and the list of meritorious contributions to the long one.
In the past, the empty salary can be reimbursed by this "war damage", and you can eat another wave of "fallen soldiers" pensions when you look back, which is simply perfect!
They have meritorious service in defending the land, and even if the princes of the court and the central government know that there is water in it, they will only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and will not break everything.
In order to catch up with this wave of welfare, as long as the big and small people in the city have a little background, they all rush to report the war damage, and all kinds of "fire dragons burn warehouses" and "Yin soldiers borrow food" for a while...... Strange things like that happened one after another.
When everyone is doing "miracles", the "wonders" are no longer strange, but those who do not do it are called "wonders".
After the performance of the merit was sent to Beijing, Song Huizong was even more stupid, seeing that the Liao army had retreated, and Xiongzhou and Bazhou had been saved, he was Longyan Dayue and all the invitations at the border pass were correct.
Seeing the praise for artillery on the concert, as well as the application for more gunpowder and artillery support, Song Huizong believed in the national teacher's approval in his heart.
Tiankui Xing really ascended after the catastrophe, and in the future, he Yuqing Sect Master Subtle Dao Jun Emperor will definitely go well, and his wishes will come true.
As for the ruined towns, he didn't care about them at all.
From top to bottom, the Great Song Dynasty was full of joy, but the people who dominated the two states were destroyed, their fields were destroyed, their houses were burned, and they had no livelihood, and the government did not care, so they had to fend for themselves and beg for food in the surrounding states and counties.
Officials in those places treated these displaced people like snakes and scorpions, and occasionally gave them relief, most of them to drive them out.
These outcasts will die, and they will not die on their own turf.
Under the impetus of people with hearts, these hundreds of thousands of displaced people flocked to the direction of Qizhou.
