Someone said, "Qin Shihuang killed the alchemist because the alchemist deceived him, and Emperor Wu of Han killed his family because of Li Ling's surrender. Although these two people have outstanding achievements, their temperament is far inferior to Dahan. Only the Saint of Yao and Shun can compare with the demeanor of Dahan."

Mengge didn't know most of the allusions they said. Although he loved culture and was inclusive, his knowledge in the Han area was far less than that of his younger brother Kublai Khan who liked Sinology. He was passionate about the Christian culture coming from Kiev and the Islamic culture that was slowly spreading in Central Asia. He didn't know much about the allusions in the Han area. All he was worried about was how to break through Ezhou as soon as possible so as to free up his hands to deal with Zheng Yunming, who had already won the game.

Perhaps, it's time to take action with a trump card in hand.

On the other hand, Zheng Yunming was having a headache about how to deal with Gundam. Logically speaking, Gundam rebelled against the court and rebeled the country and deserved severe punishment, but Gundam voluntarily surrendered and brought a lot of internal information from the Mongolian army. The court has always dealt with such a fence-bearing rebellion and returned. As long as they can be reunited, they will generally be rewarded. However, in recent years, the country's strength has increased, and there has been no tolerance for rebel generals. First, a bow of the Zhejiang Navy of the Song Dynasty was reported for smuggling cargo. He resolutely brought his own elite far-sea gunboat to Mongolia. Later, because of a local noble competing for a prostitute, he accidentally killed the Mongolian noble and fled to the Southern Dynasty again. However, his ship was immediately arrested by the government as soon as it landed on the dock and was finally sentenced to a sentence of three thousand miles.

But Zheng Yunming's basic principle is to avoid trouble. Although people like Gundam cannot say that they have backbone, and if they do not punish them, they will inevitably set an example of evil spirits for the world, but when they go back, they can bring back some information from the north. In addition, in the Xiangyang Incident, Lu Wenhuan was the leader, and he was just a threat. He should leave his affairs to the court. Zheng Yunming's top priority is to fight the Hu army that is close to him.

When Gundam was brought into the central army tent with his upper body naked and carrying a thorn on his back, Zheng Yunming almost laughed out loud. This man also knew that he had committed a tremendous crime and the Southern Dynasty would never be able to forgive him easily, so he learned the ancients' way to take the thorns and apologize. He only heard Gundam kneel down on the ground and gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Wenhuan's dog thief has mastered most of the troops in Xiangyang, and he has also held the little man hostage. The villain has been under house arrest by him in the barracks and has to be silenced. Only when this guy was shot dead by Wei Dutong, the camp was in chaos, and the villain was able to do so."

"Forget it," Zheng Yunming waved his hand to stop his crying scene and said seriously: "Your sins are hard to clear the water of the Yellow River, but I am willing to ask for mercy for you in front of the emperor. I ask you, and I should tell you truthfully, who is in charge of the navy in the Mongolian army now? How many ships can be fought in the army, and how many tortoise shell ships are there?"

Gundam leaned over to the ground, dared not raise his head, and replied tremblingly: "The naval commander of the Tatars was still the naval commander of the navy, Zhang Zhongren, but in fact the navy was commanded by Shi Tianze. The villain saw in the Mongolian camp that there were new ships coming from the Han River every day. In addition to the fishing boats plundered from all over the place, there were about three or four thousand usable ships, of which there were more than one thousand warships that could be fought in one battle, and forty-two tortoise shell ships. Because the guerrilla troops sent by the official army were active in Henan, eight were dispatched to the Han River upstream to sweep. Now there are 34 ships in the water army camp."

The general situation is similar to what Zheng Yunming estimated. Zheng Yunming waved his hand and asked Gundam to retreat. His own personal soldiers in the government office put Gundam under house arrest and waited for the imperial court orders. What Zheng Yunming had to do was far more important than dealing with a rebel general.

He waved to the generals standing on both sides, and asked them to surround the table in front of the table. There were large proportions of Jingxiang terrain waterway maps on the table, with small wooden blocks of red paint, each representing one hundred Song army warships, and small wooden blocks of black paint, and each representing one hundred Mongolian army warships. To the east of Hanyang, there were seven mahogany blocks, but in the rivers near Ezhou, Jiangling and Yingzhou, there were thirty or forty black wooden blocks,

In terms of military strength, the enemy is naturally large and small. Zheng Yunming is not afraid. He has fought more than one battle with large and small. But at that time, Peng Man and Zhang Weixiao are not there, and even Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Hunan Navy, was transferred to Nanyang. The highest naval commander he could rely on was Lv Wende, and the most powerful naval general was Yu Jie. Originally, this position should be Xia Gui, but this famous general in the army, who was known as Xia Qier, suddenly got sick and had to return to Huaidong to recuperate.

In terms of original intention, Zheng Yunming trusts Xia Gui more than Yu Jie. Although Xia Gui ended up as a traitor in another plane, Yu Jie was recorded in history as a loyal and kind person in the court. However, Zheng Yunming never judged the current character based on the deeds of another plane. At the moment, Yu Jie was a commander with a harsh personality and strict military management. Xia Gui could win the hearts of the people, and was very smooth to the lower and upper, but at critical moments, there was no shortage of first-class generals who fought to the death. Otherwise, Xia Gui would not have become one of Jia Sidao's core military officer teams with only two or three people. But Xia Gui's biggest problem was that he saw people talking. When Jia Sidao left his post, he naturally had a high-level battle card and could never fight for Zheng Yunming. The support Zheng Yunming could win was only Yu Jie who was determined to be despicable.

"The autumn officer of the Imperial Heaven Supervisor is reporting with the military counselor. Tomorrow will be calm and the weather will be sunny. It is a good time to use troops. Now the enemy is proud and arrogant, thinking that there is no opponent on the river. Once our army challenges the small boat, the opponent will definitely attack with all its might, and will make a full effort to smash the last bit of water power on the Song Dynasty. The key to our army's victory is whether the Sheyang Piercing can crush the enemy's tortoise shell ship. Although the enemy's naval army is numerous, only the tortoise shell ship is difficult for us to deal with. As long as we defeat the tortoise shell ship, the rest of the warships will be like a group of dragons without a leader, and it is easy to take them. All the successes and failures of this are on your Huaidong Navy."

Zheng Yunming raised his voice a little higher, showing the solemn attitude that the Supervisory Office should have: "The rise and fall of the country is all about the heroes of the Lianghuai! For the sake of his ancestors and the country, please show your last courage to defeat the tortoise shell ship!"

Yu Jie's resolute face seemed to be on the battlefield. He replied in a hoarse voice: "With Yu's seven-foot body, blocking millions of Mongolian soldiers!"

"Okay!" Zheng Yunming turned his head and asked, "General Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Wende has nothing to lose today. His current life has only one purpose, which is to use military achievements to erase the shame brought to his ancestors by his brother's betrayal. He said without hesitation: "Even if Lu is heartbroken, he must break the tortoise shell ship and show him!"

"I'm not worried about Sheyang Jianer's martial arts," said Zheng Yunming: "I have also tested your tactics of breaking the tortoise shell ship. As long as you can deal with it calmly and fight hard tomorrow, the tortoise shell ship is just a turtle with a hard shell."

He spread his hands at the map: "Tomorrow is a glorious day that will be recorded in history forever!"

For the Mongolian army, seeing the Song Dynasty navy moves out in a big way, there is no longer the mentality of trembling fighting in previous years, and only seeking self-protection but not seeking victory. When they see the Song Dynasty warships with red flags appearing on the water antenna, the Hu Ba in the navy camp roars, the gate of the village opened, and the tortoise shell ships were at the top. Hundreds of elite warships all rushed out. According to the usual training methods, the squadron dragged back, and the two wings slightly forward to form a half-moon formation.

This is the formation that the Mongolian navy repeatedly practiced before the war, in order to use it in a decisive battle with the Song Dynasty navy. The essence is that when fighting, the central warship dragged the main force of the Song Dynasty navy with the central warship, and the tortoise shell ship was the vanguard of the left and right wings, leading an elite oarship team to advance to the rear of the Song army fleet in one fell swoop, forming a comprehensive encirclement, and finally completely annihilated the main force of the Song Dynasty navy in one fell swoop. From then on, the Mongolian army was unobstructed on the Yangtze River and could directly take Lin'an.

When the Mongolian army finished its formation, it was discovered that the Song army's ship formation opposite was very unusual. It was not the mode of ordinary giant ships and cannons opening the way, and the board ships and oars followed. Instead, it was directly used thirty old iron harrier ships as the vanguard, mainly with oar ship teams, and the two wings were equipped with low marching warships. The sailors shouted and rushed upstream together.

"They are desperate to jump over the wall!" Shi Tianze was excited and even said the saying in the street market: "Can a small boat be used to break through the tortoise shell soldiers? They also think that our army is too small! The men beat the drums and advance, and beat all the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty who drove the boats to the river to see the Dragon King!"

The sound of war drums sounded, and the vibrating river water also caused a slight tide. The two naval armies were getting closer and closer, and the battle that determined the ownership of the Yangtze River broke out in full swing.

The initial battle was spread on both wings. The Mongolian army's tortoise shell ships on both sides of the left and right first launched muskets and cannons to strike the Song army's small boats, then rowed the oars, and rushed forward bravely according to the usual tactics. The four and six cars leading the way backed at full speed, as if they were determined not to fight with the tortoise shell ship. After all, the shiny corners of the bow of the tortoise shell ship are daunting. As a result of the battle between the two sides using collision tactics, the Dongting gunboat will definitely be the party that suffers.

The retreat of the Song Dynasty navy on the left and right wings made the central fleet isolated. The Mongolian army's central fleet immediately fought with the Song army's central fleet with muskets and bows as weapons. Although the Song army's central fleet was just a few small boats, with the support of musketeers and light cannons, they advanced to the distance of the platoon battle and engaged in fierce close-range hand-to-hand combat with the Mongolian navy.
