Chapter 456 What is it that the emperor is forgotten by us?
The heavy snow that had been falling for more than ten days has just stopped for a while. This time is in the inversion stage. The temperature has rarely risen a lot. The snow on the ice layer of the Yellow River melted into large and small gullies. Many of the gullies are very deep, and you can already see the rushing river water below. Driven by the water flow, the ice layer makes noise from time to time, which forces the ice boats to carefully choose the road.
The ice boat was on the leading role. The ice boat was very shaped like the Eskimo ice sled. The square-headed bow was bent in front of the sheep's horns. The circumference of the boat was slightly concave and two small oars were installed. In this way, even if the boat fell into the water, it could temporarily slide in the water.
On the ice boat, there is no driving force, and the driving force for advancement comes entirely from the spears in the hands of the soldiers. This spear is about four meters long. Five soldiers on both sides of the ice boat support the ice surface with spears, allowing the ice boat to slide slowly. In front of the ice boat, three muskets held muskets with bullets on their hands, staring at the shadowy Golden Cavalry on the opposite bank. Two soldiers sat next to the oars at the tail of the ice boat, waiting to drive the oars at any time. Sometimes they sat in the middle of the boat, holding their own flag alone.
The river bank of Puyang this generation was narrow, and it has been one of the ferries of the Yellow River since the Three Kingdoms era. The north and south tributaries of the Yellow River were diversion in front of Puyang. After the diversion, the river surface became much narrower. When the ice boat slid to the center of the river, you could already see the beards of the Jin cavalry opposite and the expressions on the faces.
The one who crossed the river first was the most elite thunder and fire soldiers - Dengzhou Zuoxiang Group Training. The most elite soldiers were naturally the best equipment. These soldiers not only had complete combat equipment, but also wore hazel windshields. At this time, the brown windshields were actually equivalent to snow blind glasses. Although the reflected sunlight on the ice is dazzling, the soldiers can clearly see the expressions of the Jin soldiers on the opposite side through the snow-raising glasses.
The Jin soldiers had a very arrogant expression. Of course, no matter who could use two hundred cavalry to attack forty thousand people, and the 40,000 soldiers who were said to be the sharpest-mouthed ones on the opposite side fled without fighting, he was qualified to be arrogant. In the eyes of the Jin people on the river bank, these 300 of them were enough to capture the capital of the Song Dynasty.
However, the soldiers on the opposite side seemed a little wrong. When the Song army saw three hundred Jin people, the military flag would turn first and then - there was no way. The Song Dynasty would only let the soldiers who fled first become generals. If you don’t flee first, you would not be promoted to the official position.
However, the strange small boats coming from the opposite side were actually erected on the boat that was leading the way. When the ship saw the Jin people, it did not turn around, but continued to move forward. The commands conveyed on the ice boat were completely inconsistent. Their commands seemed to only make the ice boat pay attention to the ice surface, but the three hundred Jin people cavalry on the bank of the river seemed to be regarded as dead people.
The sun was very strong after the snow. The head of the Jin man Meng'an (ten households, hundreds of people under his jurisdiction) built a pergola with his hands and looked at the opposite side. He saw the leading ice boat as a front arrow, and hundreds of boats covered the entire ice surface. On the opposite river bank, tens of thousands of civilians were dragging rafts to gather at the crossing point. After thinking for a while, he immediately understood that this was following the same trick of the Jin man: tie the wooden rafts into wooden bridges, and prepare
Meng'an suddenly stared at Qing Qing - the Song people were preparing to cross the river in a big way!
"Quickly, go and inform Meng'anbo Jilie (the head of a thousand households, with countless thousands of households under his jurisdiction), the Song people crossed the river in Puyang." After a pause, Meng'an continued to say, "The Song army crossed the river is very strange. It is not the kind of 'elite waste', it seems, it seems to be a group of people."
The Jin people who had just finished knotting the ropes made their first contact with the Song Dynasty. They had a strange understanding of the Song Dynasty. In their vocabulary, the prostitute, the woman called "Miss" in the Song Dynasty, was the most noble and beautiful woman in the world. After fighting this battle, they all called the female lady in the official boss's home "Miss" after returning home until modern times.
At the same time, "elite" means nothing among the waste in the eyes of the Jin people; "important officials" means "smashing stick" and "coward", while low-level officers such as "Tian" command "envoy" were recognized by the Jin people as god-like men, so they were simply called "angel" (this name was passed down from the Liao Kingdom, and was originally called Di Qing commander); bounty hunters such as "general" and "brave" were conventionally considered to be the most powerful person in the war, on the contrary, the people who were considered to be able to ride on their heads to pull shit and pee were the most powerful, strongest and most fierce enemy in the eyes of the Jin people.
Therefore, the Jin people gave the highest praise to the people who came opposite and solemnly called them: civil servants (i.e., the people who are fart).
A Jin cavalry slapped his horse and went to the distance to report the news. Lord Meng'an pondered for a moment, and wondered: Why did the country we invaded always get promoted and used to gain weight? It is not a foolish leader.
With this thought, Lord Meng'an turned his gaze to the river. After crossing the river, the ice boat accelerated its speed and began to rush to the beach. After the small boat rushed to the river, three musketmen on the bow jumped off the boat with a light scattered look on the boat and raised muskets based on the hull. The rowing soldiers threw away the spears in their hands without any pity, jumped to the land in groups of three to two, and raised muskets while jumping. The countless muzzles suddenly aimed at the black hole.
The Jin soldiers were relatively forbidden. Lord Meng'an did not speak, and the cavalry teams lined up in an array could only hear the sound of war horses spitting out. Meng'an stood there, and was temporarily stopped by the movements of the soldiers on the ship - it was indeed a citizen of the Celestial Empire. A jumping ship seemed so rhythmic and organized. No one noticed that after the soldiers jumped off the ship, they immediately formed a team of five people, and the teams gathered around the hull one by one. The entire formation was like a perfect rhythmic exercise. In the blink of an eye, countless five people were like plum blossoms blooming all over the river beach, red tops, black kus, red Fan Yang hats, and trembling helmet tassels were like flower stalks. This made the Jin people who were poor in entertainment stunned for a moment.
The soldiers who jumped ashore were calm and unhurried, as if they were performing or conducting daily training. The immortals ignored the Jin cavalry who gave gifts on the high bank. Seeing the other party's calm appearance, people couldn't help but think of a Song Dynasty vocabulary: brave. Maybe, this is a manifestation of courage.
Lord Meng'an was still hesitating whether he needed to destroy this beautiful picture. Shi Chuan jumped off the small boat that was rushing to the beach with a big flag. He walked forward a few steps and inserted his flag on the river beach. He roared and broke the silence. He shouted: "The Jingdong Road Transport of the Great Song Dynasty Recovered the Daming Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty."
This sentence angered the Jin man Meng'an, and he shouted: "Recover? Recover it in front of my Jin man Iron Cavalry - attack! Attack!"
Shi Chuan looked at the kettle man with a silly look at Bai Yu! He uttered two words gently: "Open fire!"
At this time, the formation of the musket team was already formed, and the cavalry on the ground on the river beach came to attack the musket soldiers with hidden hulls. The Jin people didn't know that the pipe-shaped thing in their hands on the opposite side was called muskets. This is understandable. Eight hundred years later, the Jurchens did not recognize muskets, right?
The sound of gunfire like a bean-burning gun rang out immediately. Lord Meng'an felt a strong wind blowing through his ears. A burst of fire pain came from his ears. Just in front of him, a war horse neighed violently. It raised its front hooves and lifted the cavalry on the horse's back into the horse. Then the war horse jumped around in place. Lord Meng'an seemed to be watching slow motion. Seeing a few blood flowers suddenly splashed on the body of the war horse, the war horse fell to the ground in a short while. Feng Lieli beside his ears, Lord Meng'an was deeply moaned and found that the thick pink hat suddenly had an ear curtain. He felt a warmth in his palm, and he stretched his palm to his eyes and saw blood!
The thunderous gunshot continued to sound, and the partners continued to rush forward. The vanguard cavalry had already rushed into the side of the warship. They were running around the hull with their horses, hoping to use the sword to pick out the musketeers hiding behind the ship. The Song army officer on the opposite side was dancing short iron pipes in his hands, shouting loudly: "One row of bayonets, push them, second row of row of three, continue to load and shoot, don't stop fire."
The sound from the opposite side was as far away as it came from another world. Lord Meng'an felt that everything he was right was much slower. The war horse under his crotch slowly fell down. He was used to raising up, and seemed to have lost his previous agility and speed, so that when the war horse lay down, he suppressed his tui! Lord Meng'an wanted to pull out the tui from under the horse, but found that he had lost all his strength.
The blue sky rushed towards me, and there were vague figures in the four corners of the sky. Several Guan Lan's heads rushed out of the picture, shouting at Lord Meng'an, but Lord Meng'an could not hear these. As a leader, Lord Meng'an was particularly concerned by the musket master. When his hat was knocked out of his ears, he had actually been shot more than ten shots on his body.
In the middle of winter, the Jin people wore thick fur coats. This fur coat once made the famous divine arm crossbow and the three-bow chuáng crossbow helpless, but now, in front of modern muskets, all this is a scumbag.
The flintlock musket uses thunderbolts, and the bullets are wrapped in fixed-loaded paper rolls. This paper roll has been nitrified and does not need to be compacted when loading the pyrodisiac. It only needs to stuff the paper bag into the pyrodisiac compartment and put it on to fire. Many skilled musket gunmen fired at a speed of twenty shots in a minute. Although there were only more than a hundred soldiers who had just landed, their muskets were fired in one piece. The Golden Cavalry, who had lost their speed, circled between the cracks of the ship, rushed to the musket soldiers, and encountered gun stabbing like a forest. If they slightly opened the distance, they encountered fire jets from front, back, left and right.
In the midst of the guns, the second landing group rushed to the river beach. The soldiers had already loaded the ship and bayonets were placed on the muskets. As soon as the ship was docked, the soldiers rushed to the river beach. After a row of muskets were released, the soldiers stopped loading and rushed towards the remaining golden men with bayonets.
To be honest, the Jin soldiers were stunned at the beginning. Although the senior officials of the Jin people had already known that they had thunder muskets, they seized a lot of firearms from the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty during the Battle of Yanyun, including the Privy Council version of the mechassis gun, to be honest, the Jurchens did not take these things seriously. Even if the flintlock rifles of the Eight-Nation Alliance eight hundred years later, the Jurchens could not see them at first, thinking that they were not as good as their riding and shooting. Moreover, the "elite" of the Song Dynasty who possessed these firearms was indeed defeated by them with riding and shooting, so the Jurchens refused to believe that muskets were better than bows and arrows.
The Jurchens only had writing texts last year. Even if the Jurchens opened a hundred universities overnight, how many literate people could be taught in a year? Therefore, even if a few Jurchens knew the sound and power of muskets in use, how did they spread this information? They could only pass on word of mouth. A newly established language and writing can be imagined. It is impossible to describe muskets in Jurchen language and devote all the words in their own language to the Jurchens.
When the Jurchens charged, the iron pipe aimed at them sprayed out flames, making a loud noise. Then, there were no arrows and crossbow arrows. Many of the players were injured and the war horses were frightened. All this exceeded the Jurchens' cognition.
Many Jurchens have already thought of gods, demons and monsters. The reason why they are still charging is that on the one hand, the horses have no time to change their direction, and on the other hand, the sense of honor brought to them by the winning streak of the successive battles.
Of course, the Jurchens' actions were filled with suspicion, and the swords that swung the Song army were full of awe, which made the Jurchens slow and the casualties increased sharply. After the third echelon of the Song army completed the beach, the Jurchens finally collapsed.
This was their first collapse since they raised their flags to fight against Liao, but because our team had been killed in battle, they would be humiliated and killed even if they went back, so they were still stranded on the battlefield, but they had no hope of fighting. The people who fell off the war horse sat blankly on the ground, allowing the soldiers of the Song army to walk in close proximity to fire their guns; those who were still on the war horses were free to listen to the war horses taking them to the corner of the sky and the sea. Often, they would be shot down by random guns.
The shooting frequency slowed down. Taking advantage of this time, the commander was already shouting: "Removing the bayonet, cleaning the barrel of the gun, and moving faster."
When landing, Shi Chuan looked into the distance with a stick. When the Jin soldiers were attacking just now, the soldiers around him tried their best to protect Shi Chuan and the military flag. Shi Chuan couldn't find any mobile phones. The team stabilized. Shi Chuan loudly ordered: "The first and second rows were on the spot, and the third row immediately launched a force search to clear the remnants; the fourth row, clean up the battlefield - our army will not leave any prisoners in this battle! The subsequent landing troops will be faster, quickly set up a boat bridge to transport combat preparations."
On the south bank, when he heard the gunshots on the other bank gradually slowed down and the smoke gradually faded. Zhao Shixia breathed out a sigh of relief and said, "If you win, I know I can win."
After a while, Zong Ze, the governor of Dengzhou, rushed over from behind and asked hurriedly: "I heard the gunshots vaguely, what's going on?"
Although Zhao Shixia, the ninth-rank prince, was given a heavy responsibility by Shi Chuan, his years of civilian life had cultivated his affinity. Zong Ze did not think it was strange to ask questions that he didn't even have a title, and he answered happily: "The fortune has crossed the river!"
"Nonsense", Zong Ze was so angry that his beard raised: "We are the army of kings. Bianliang City is our goal. What should we do when we are idle? Even if Shi Changqing fights in Hebei no matter how lively he is, wouldn't he worry about being scolded afterwards?"
Zhao Shixia slowly put away his smile and replied: "There are still millions of people in the Song Dynasty in Hebei."
Zong Ze raised his beard and looked at Zhao Shixia for a moment. He saluted Zhao Shixia solemnly. Zhao Shixia turned slightly, Zong Ju stood up and said, "Your Highness, King Yan, this gift is not for your title of King Yan, but for what you just said, and for the millions of people in Hebei to thank King Yan for the millions of people!"
Zhao Shixia corrected her body, Zong Ze saluted again solemnly, then raised her body, squinted her eyes and praised Qing, "I originally looked down on Shi Changqing's self-sightedness, but I have always known that Shi Changqing is not tempted by the people. He may not value the capital, but he will definitely keep the country and the country in his heart. His Highness King Yan is the same kind of person. If you have any instructions in the future, His Highness King Yan will say it."
Zong Ze said something logically chaotic, because in the ancient worldview, the country was the emperor's country, and the country was the country of one family. However, Zong Ze's words just now were full of people-oriented consciousness-the country was the country of the people, and the country was the country of China. He couldn't go and rescue the emperor, but he wanted to cut off the Jin people's retreat first, so that the Jin people would not dare to look south from now on. After the battle, Shi Changqing might be criticized for his "disrespect" and "disrespect" to His Majesty the Emperor, but he was right
The people of the world are worthy of China. This topic is too heavy, so Zong Ze had to speak hesitantly, and his tone seemed to be confusing when he spoke. Originally, Zong Ze had always despised Shi Chuan, thinking that Shi Changqing was self-respecting and did not go to rescue him, but he shouted that he would let the emperor delegate power first, which was self-interest and wanted to be a powerful minister. However, Shi Chuan's decisive action of crossing the river made Zong Ze slightly calmer. Nowadays, generals across the country are avoiding war, Shi Chuan dares to fight and can win, and the Song Dynasty needs such people.
At this moment, Zong Ze suddenly had some understanding of Yu Qian of the Ming Dynasty: What is the case when the emperor is left behind? Without the emperor, let’s establish a new one. The people are the main body of the country. If the people are preserved, China will not be considered dead!
After calming down, Zong Ze couldn't help but think that all the troops and horses went to Yanjing to serve the king, and the whole group of dragons was in power. For Shuli, the court would not allow anyone other than the emperor to gain the reputation of "save the people and save the country". In order to belittle the voices of the kings and generals from all over the country, the ministers would do all the work of excluding dissidents at the instigation of the emperor. In this case, going to Bianliang City rashly would only be a death. In a sense, establishing a spiritual leader like Zhao Shixia in advance is also a good strategy.
In real history, there were only three people serving the king in the Song Dynasty, one was Zong Ze, the other was Zhang Shuye, and the other was Yao Pingzhong, who was pacifying the remnants of Fang La in the south. At this moment, the general Yao Pingzhong, the "Rat Gallbladder", was leading his men to rush to Bianliang. Zhang Shuye had just arrived in Linpu yesterday, and suddenly received news that Emperor Daojun had arrived in Nanjing. Zhang Shuye ordered the army to stop, prepare to rest on the same day, and immediately contact Daojun, and then make sure to stop in the future... But unfortunately, Emperor Daojun felt that Nanjing was still too close to the Jin soldiers, so he urged him to take the lead the next day and went straight to Huainan without going back all the way.
When Zhang Shuye heard the news, he sighed and followed Gao Qiu, cut off all contact with Emperor Daojun, and ordered the army to continue to advance to Puyang.
At this moment, Zong Ze compared Zhang Shuye and Shi Chuan, feeling that these two are proud people, both have firm will. After they feel that they are right, even if the people in the world laugh and scold them, they must implement their opinions. In this way, who would want to bow their heads when they meet?
Zhang Shuye may think that he was promoted to Shipeng, and he was cultivated by Shipeng. He should give in to him, but Shipeng would never let go of his army. Zhang Shuye also considers this situation, Zhao Shixia stayed on the south bank to coordinate in the middle, and crossed the river to fight, which seemed to be the best way to deal with it. For the sake of King Yan and Shipeng in battle, Zhang Shuye would naturally recognize Zhao Shixia's command position.
In this way, the army of Kings has a clear head, and the court may have no choice but to watch the reputation of King Yan rise.
I believe that the Daojun and father and son in the palace would not interfere with the command of the army and would rather be a simple spiritual leader. Such a leader seems to be more acceptable than the Daojun and son. It is very good.
