Chapter 677 Jiang Wanli, Walking Thousand Miles
Outside Wuchang County, the Song army camp.
The military affairs of the Song Dynasty, the ambassador of the Liangjiang Pacification and Control, the ambassador of the Liangjiang Regiment, the bachelor of Duanming Palace, and the military tent of the Duankang County Gongjiang Wanli, were decorated with Xiao Ran. Only a few cases were placed in the same room. The arrows on the above were painted off, and a few arrows were placed on the shelf. The mighty flags, the drums and drums were all displayed listlessly.
There was a piece of the top of the cowhide tent at some point, and no one went to repair it. The sunlight shone through the crack, and when it shone in the tent, there was a ray of light and shadow, and the dust floated slightly in the light and shadow.
Outside the tent, there was a wave of sound that was higher than a wave, and the noise was extremely chaotic. Someone and horse neighed, there was a sound of H-armor explosion, and there was a sound of soldiers and armor colliding, which hit the big tent like waves. The hearts of the people sitting in the tent became even more depressed, as if they were pressed on a huge stone.
This sound was naturally caused by the battle between the two armies. Jiang Wanli's Jiangxia Mountain Grand Village was under fierce attack by a vassal coalition army of the Ming Dynasty! When Chen Dexing was taking over Liangzhe, in Jiangxia Mountain in the middle of the Yangtze River, the fierce battle between the Ming and Song armies was also in full swing. Lv Wende, Xia Gui, Lv Wenhuan, Gao Da, Yu Xing, Yang Wen, Zhang Sheng, Liu Zheng, Zhang Jue and other nine town coalition forces arrived in Ezhou one after another. In the Fankou area of Jiang Xia Mountain, they fought fierce battles with 80,000 Ganyong and 30,000 navy commanders led by Jiang Wanli.
Although Jiang Wanli took the lead in taking over the dangerous mountains of Jiangxia, the navy also had some advantages. However, the regiment training army could not be compared with the time-honored military towns that Jinghu, Sichuan and Huaixi that had fought hard with the Mongols for 30 years.
In recent years, the Ming army, Mongolian army, and Song army have been carrying out military reforms, and these pro-Ming vassal troops will naturally not just live a scattered life and do nothing. The major vassal states, especially Xia Gui, Lv Wende, Lv Wenhuan and Gundam, all illuminated the methods of the army, and the generals would be linked to the land. Many nephews also sent to the Ming army's military academies for a short period of time to study in the Ming army and learn the tactics of the Ming army. They also imitated the Ming army to establish one or two infantry troops, two of which were Lu, each of which had one army, and Xia Gui had two armies. Although they were unable to completely steel their infantry troops, the quality and quantity of equipment were far inferior to that of the Ming army. There were no light and heavy cavalry to use. Such an army would definitely not be able to defeat the infantry army of the Ming army, but it was enough to train the tenants who bullied Jiang Wanli.
The basis of the tenant soldiers like the regiment training is still mercenaries. Now Jiang Wanli can't afford enough military pay, and there is no place to rob the regiment training. These Gan Yongs actually don't have much fighting spirit.
The previous "Wuchang Victory" was because the military towns in the middle and upper reaches were all mourning, and even Zhang Sheng from Ezhou Town was preserving his strength. Jiang Wanli's 60,000 troops were allowed to besiege three or four thousand people in Wuchang County.
However, when the news that 100,000 jin of Mingzhou gold was transported to Zhoushan and there was no suspense in the battle between the Ming and Song dynasties, the middle and upper towns no longer hesitated. The soldiers of the nine towns met in Ezhou. Xia Gui was elected as the leader of the alliance, and Lu Wende was appointed to fight Jiang Wanli together. So, Jiang Wanli's hard battle began. Even if he was in danger, even if he had increased troops and generals, he would still retreat step by step under the attack of the nine town coalition forces!
Now the three key points of Jiangxia Mountain, Bailuji and Fankou have been lost, and they have retreated to Wuchang City. The loss of troops has also reached as much as 30,000!
However, what really made Jiang Wanli and his generals of the regiment training army despair were the bad news coming from Liangzhe.
Lin'an fell, the Grand Tutor Jia Sidao sacrificed his life to the country, Li Tingzhi, Liao Yingzhong and others accomplice the rebels and surrendered to the thief. They also jointly submitted a letter to the Han Dynasty, and the Princess Zhao Lin'er of Zhou ascended the throne of Song! They also openly turned black and white, saying that the throne of the Song Dynasty's official throne is not "combined with courtesy". Because he is not the son of the Supreme Emperor, and he is also a fool!
This "Chen Li" is a ritual of the Chen family. How can one manage the affairs of the Zhao family? And why can’t a fool be an emperor? This is called ruling! The emperor, just be stupid, and the free ministers in the world help to manage it. Besides, even if a fool cannot be an emperor, he should change the Zhao family’s man, how can a woman be the king? What are the rules?
There are also Li Tingzhi and Liao Yingzhong, these traitors are too hateful. Isn’t it just a death? You can’t learn from Jia Sidao, a playboy? Is it that difficult to hold two thunders to die with the enemy? If it really doesn’t work, you can hang yourself and jump into the lake. Oh, you can’t throw yourself into the West Lake. It’s too shallow, you can jump into Qiantang River... It’s better than surrendering to be a traitor?
Jiang Wanli's white beard trembled. Her eyes swept through the tent with bright eyes, and when she saw the generals, including his son Jiang Hao, they all looked like they were in trouble.
The disaster is indeed coming. Now the Jiangxia Mountain Battle has been terrible and has suffered heavy losses. The news from Gaoyou Lake is even worse. The Jiangdong regiment training army in Huaidong (the Song Dynasty did not have the Huaidong regiment training army because Huaidong was the territory of the generals, and most of the Huaidong generals were close to Chen Ming, and Chen Dexing himself was also from Huaihuai) has been defeated by Li Yanguo, Shi Tianze and his group of princes from the northern region, and they originally planned to retreat to Yangzhou. However, now the Song army in Liangzhe is over, and Chen Dexing's main force of the Ming army will soon enter Jiangnan East Road. It is estimated that Huaidong Road can only give up.
But can we defend Jiangdong by giving up Huaidong? The Jiangdong regiment training army has been defeated. Once the Ming army arrives, it will be destroyed and there will be no decent resistance at all! Once the Jiangnan East Road is lost, the territory that the Song Dynasty has truly consolidated is only one Jiangnan West Road. It is then besieged by the main force of the Ming army and the vassal state army. What is it that a disaster is coming?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanli just sighed: "How come the Song Dynasty has reached this stage of the field... Why did he reach this stage of the field? What's going on?"
He suddenly looked up, "Everyone, the Song Dynasty is now in turmoil, and Jiangnan West Road is probably hard to protect. For the sake of the current plan, it seems that he can only abandon the land and leave!"
The old man's white beard trembled and his eyes were brightly looking at everyone.
Jiangnan West Road cannot be defended! Liangzhe has been completely controlled by Chen Ming, and it is a matter of time before Jiangnan East Road and Huainan East Road completely fall into Chen Ming's hands. Moreover, as the pillar of the military power of the Song Dynasty, the regiment training army has suffered heavy losses. Jiangdong regiment training has suffered more than half of the losses in the Battle of Gaoyou Lake, and the rest of the people have no fighting spirit. Jiangxi regiment training... has also suffered more than 20,000 casualties!
"Although Hongdu is a strong city, it is still a dead place!" Jiang Wanli stroked his white beard and said jokingly, "If the imperial court is trapped in Hongdu, it will be a turtle in a jar!"
The generals were speechless. Jiang Wanli's words were correct, and it would definitely not be possible to retreat to Hongdu. Hongdu is located in the hinterland of Jiangnan. In the current situation, the entire Jiangnan will soon have the surname Chen, so he will guard Hongdu, not just sit and wait for death.
"Sir, where can we go if we abandon Jiangxi?" Jiang Hao asked with a frown.
"First go to Jinghu South Road, go to Jizhou, Hengzhou, Yongzhou, Quanzhou..."
"Are you entering Guangnan West Road?" Jiang Hao shook his head, "The Guangnan West Road Pacifier is Wang Jian!"
"Wang Yonggu is a minister of the Song Dynasty!" Jiang Wanli said, "And there are many officials sent by the court in Guangnan West Road, and most of the soldiers on Guangnan West Road are court soldiers. The Sichuan army of his Wang family dare not have thousands of people... Besides, we pass by when we enter Guangnan West Road."
"Passing by?" Jiang Hao shook his head, "My sir means..."
"Continue to go west!" Jiang Wanli frowned and said word by word, "Why did Wulianghetai come from back then, let's... go there!"
"Go to Dali Country!?"
The Jiangxi regiment training generals in the tent were shocked when they heard this. Guangnan West Road is already the westernmost territory of the Song Dynasty. Isn’t it Dali Country any further west?
"It's just going to Dali Country!" Jiang Wanli focused heavily.
"But Dali is no longer Middle-earth..."
There is also humane in the big tent. Dali State was a country established on the basis of Nanzhao State. Although the degree of sinicization is not low and he followed the path of Buddhism and Confucianism to govern the country, it was not Middle-earth after all. Moreover, Dali and Song State have been friendly countries for three hundred years.
Jiang Wanli snorted coldly, glared at the man who spoke, and touched his beard and said, "Chen Dexing's people can even go to Mingzhou thousands of miles away. Why can't I go to Dali Kingdom? So what if this Dali is not Middle-earth? I just go to educate them and help them enter China!"
The people in the tent looked at each other and looked surprised. Why did this sound so much like what Chen Dexing said?
"We'll leave tonight!" Jiang Wanli gritted his teeth, "Wuchang City will not be defended... I retreated to Hongdu overnight, and I must take the official family, King Rong and several princes away!"
"What about the supreme one?" someone asked again.
Jiang Wanli seemed to have forgotten the Supreme Emperor Zhao Yun.
Jiang Wanli shook his head and frowned, "The Supreme Lord is old and sick, and the journey to Dali is long... It's better to let the Supreme Lord stay in Hongdu. It's better to let the Supreme Lord stay in Hongdu... We are ministers, we should always have this kind of loyalty and filial piety! The Supreme Lord has only one daughter, and has not seen her for many years, and she is almost sick of her day and night. If she goes west, I'm afraid she won't see her daughter for the rest of her life. How can we bear to let the Supreme Lord's father and daughter never have a day of reunion?"
High! It's really high!
There were all wise people in the tent, and they shouted in their hearts. Jiang Wanli was playing with this hand so beautifully! Leave the Supreme Emperor to the Queen of Song Dynasty... What a favor! Zhao Lin'er and even Chen Dexing had to think about Jiang Wanli's good deeds all their lives.
This is not just the reunion of father and daughter! Zhao Yun was the Supreme Emperor who has been the lord for nearly forty years! He issued an edict to abolish Zhao Hu's throne, and Zhao Lin'er ascended the throne seemed to be legitimate.
In this way, Zhao Lin'er's position as queen will be smooth. Zhao Lin'er surrendered to her husband Chen Dexing as Queen Song, which is legitimate... In this way, Zhao Song naturally retreated from the position of the common ruler of the world and gave this position to Chen Ming.
