Chapter 190 When to attack?(1/2)
The days that have changed always pass quickly.
After New Year's Eve, the fleet turned around and went to Nanyang again.
Until they return.
In Hainan, the empress dowager took the imperial court officials to end this pleasant vacation.
The fleet slowly headed north with the first batch of seized materials and 400 merchant ships.
Li Guang stayed in Guangdong, Zhou Ning, and Huang Can stayed in Fujian.
Qiao Qinglan was a little worried about the shipyards in Fuzhou and Quanzhou, and was taken back to Dengzhou by Li Jing.
Chen Guoting, Li Bi, Zhao Mingcheng, Liu Wei, and Li Qingzhao took the students of Jixia Academy and returned to Dengzhou with the returning fleet.
Happiness can be contagious.
The Song Dynasty was established for more than 100 years, and the Song people still had a sense of belonging to the country.
News of the Battle of Nanyang has been blocked, including the capture of Guangnan East Road.
When more than 400 merchant ships arrived in Dengzhou under the guidance of naval steam ships.
The whole people of Dengzhou were confused.
Immediately afterwards, the people from the inner and outer cities rushed to the dock to welcome their triumphant heroes.
Even Chen Renjun, who was left behind, cheered wildly with other brothers, sang military songs, and Youxuan. Then, Liu Yuting, the commander-in-chief of the navy, looked at Li Jing with resentful eyes. The same expression was Xu Qi'an, Duan Chong and others who rushed to hear the news.
Such a wonderful battle to destroy the country in Southeast Asia, why don’t you bring us?
The six vassal states were destroyed and the territory of the empress was expanded to Fujian and Guangdong. This news was like a bombshell. With the printing of the special issue of the Fuxing Newspaper, the distribution exploded across Shandong, like ripples, spreading around the newspaper.
Guan Sheng and Zhong Yanhong could no longer sit still. They rushed from Jinan to Dengzhou and came with them, including Yue Fei who was traveling around Bianliang from Hedong Road and 20,000 Yue family troops who went by land to Jinan, as well as Zhang Shuye and Li Gang who were recalled by the queen.
"It's too much. Third brother, throw our brothers and others in Shandong and secretly go to Nanyang to destroy the country!"
"That's right, I will share it with the capital of Goryeo. You guys will take six of them alone!"
Guan Sheng, Zhong Yanhong watched Li Jing greet him at the dock, and gently punched him in the chest when he went up.
Compared to the generousness of the two, Yue Fei was a little shy.
He was in Shandong for the first time and was not very familiar with the officials behind Li Jing.
Standing quietly behind Li Gang and Zhang Shuye.
"The return of these vassal states after tribute is much more expensive than the items they paid tribute. Apart from nodding and nodding, it is useless to bully the local Song people in every possible way. This year, we have fully counterattacked the Jindog and brought their capital, which is just right to raise military expenses and military rations for us!"
Li Jing's statement was also explained in the Fuxing Newspaper hosted by Concubine Qiao, but it was not as straightforward as Li Jing's statement.
Li Gang, Zhang Shuye and the others also laughed together.
"Don't worry, a few brothers, these vassal states cannot be destroyed at one time. The main force of their army is still there, and the rebellion of the king will be reinstated soon. When we defeat the Golden Dog this year, we will give them another winter. At that time, the credit for destroying the enemy will be the two brothers and an old man!"
"Oh, I heard from this sentence, I thanked you here!"
Guan Sheng and Zhong Yanhong are both earls, and Li Jing, like Zong Ze, became marquis.
Isn’t it just a military achievement?
Guan Sheng's generous and roughness can easily arouse people's favor, and a group of people talk and laugh at Dengzhou Wharf.
He turned over and went to Linhaiju to meet the queen and the queen mother.
"Third brother, the newspaper said that you have gotten a lot of food back from Nanyang, or is it the Golden Dog that we are fighting in the Northern Expedition this year, and we can kill the Golden Dog's cattle and sheep while cooking rice noodles. Is this true?"
Li Jing has read this article in Fuxing News and has also personally corrected it.
I am not afraid of sending the spies back to Jin Kingdom.
Tell Jingou clearly that we will hit you this year.
With this passion alone, the main warriors present felt excited and comfortable.
"In the Battle of Nanyang, there were hundreds of ships in the Song Dynasty who were seized in Guangzhou. There was no need to worry about military rations, weapons, and logistics. Now the busiest thing in Dengzhou is the rice noodle factory and mint. Working day and night, rice noodle, gold coins and silver coins piled up in the warehouse. I am afraid that your soldiers have not been trained well, and the battles they should have won were not defeated, and the money could not be spent!"
"Third brother, how to fight this year? Who will command it? Can I be a pioneer?"
Yue Fei finally couldn't help but speak, and both Zhong Yanhong and Guan Sheng laughed.
Yes, another one to grab the life.
However, they also asked a question that everyone was concerned about, whether it was Zong Ze or Li Jing who came to command the full-scale attack on Jin.
As for the cavalry currently trained by the Jingkangwu Army, they can only make some basic tactical actions, barely getting rid of the name of infantry riding on horseback.
Not to mention the gap between the elite of Golden Dog Cavalry, the lack of sufficient horses and the small number of them is the biggest problem.
If you want to go deep into the hinterland of the Golden Dog, take down the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and rescue the two emperors.
This battle is not easy to fight.
"Li Jing, you have to be careful of Lin'an. I passed Zongshuai from Bianliang and showed me a lot of information. After Yangzhou received taxes from Jiangnan, it was not all about building an imperial palace. In the past, the generals of the Marshal's Mansion were scattered in various places and were also preparing for military training. If one of you and Zongshuai had a main attack, the other one would have to be in charge of defense. If someone stabbed someone in the back, the trouble would be great."
Since the end of the Jingkang Incident, in more than a year, although Shandong has changed a lot, now there is support from Fujian and Guangnan East Road.
Many places in the Song Dynasty have begun to be optimistic about the battle between Song and Jin.
Even if there are still a few months to prepare this year.
Zhang Shuye still felt that this attack on Jin was a bit too hasty.
He felt that if the battle was delayed for two years, the cavalry in the Song Dynasty would be more mature, or the grasp would be greater.
However, he also knew that Zhu Lian lived like a year and wished he could attack Jingou tomorrow and welcome him back to the official home.
Zong Ze was even counting the days to live.
I wish I could watch the Song army completely defeat the Jingou, and it would be a shame to be Jingkang.
"I wish Lin'an would send troops to attack us, destroy Jin and take revenge, which is what the people want. Those who win the people will win the world. Once they take advantage of our battle against Jin to attack us, the rest will be simple!"
Li Gang was confused when he heard this.
The Jin army's strong combat power is by no means just a statement.
When fighting, it is really a waste of life.
Now he learns from the Song army to create artillery crossbows. With strong firepower, he is very difficult to fight while guarding the pass.
Zhe Keqiu, Wang Shan, Zhang Suo, Zhang Bofen, Yue Fei, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were sacrificed, and even if he could not take over the entire Taiyuan and Hedong area.
Why do you Jingkang and Wu army look confident?
Yue Fei, the most elite in the Hedong Army, was also transferred here.
Linhaiju is not far from Dengzhou City, and Zhu Lian is different from Li Jing who lives in the military camp near the wharf.
She got the news later and then washed up and dressed up.
When welcoming Linhaiju, these people were almost there.
This was the first time Yue Fei met the queen and the queen mother.
Zhu Lian took the lead in asking questions.
"This is Yue Pengju. Your two sworn brothers are often in Shandong, and they won consecutive victories. I am well-known for your great name!"
"I have met the Empress, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Princess!"
The reserved Yue Fei bowed to the visitors one by one with the recommendation of Zhong Yanhong and Li Jing.
A group of people looked at him happily, as if they were very familiar with him.
You should know that the mother-in-law's tattoos were included in the textbooks of the craftsman's children's school, and this year it will be promoted to the entire Shandong.
This made him even more restrained, afraid of losing his manners and being rude.
Since the carving of the queen and princess' portraits, the gold and silver dollars were released to Hedong as military pay.
The generals and soldiers were reluctant to spend their exquisite coins.
The army is full of inspirational stories about the empress managing the world for the officials in times of crisis, defending the Song Dynasty, and striving to rescue the two emperors.
For a time, Zhu Lian became famous in the army and soared into the sky.
Zhe Keqiu, Zhang Su and Wang Shan submitted a letter one after another. Zong Ze, the Minister of War, personally met with the queen and promoted him to Privy Councilor, and was highly valued.
This also made the Hedong Army and the generals of Kaifeng Army eager to meet the queen.
"In the past battle of Hedong, it was thanks to the brothers of Yue Pengju and Zhang Bofen, Zhao Bushi, and Peng Chong fought to the death on the edge of the Yellow River, which consumed a large amount of Jingou's troops and energy. Otherwise, Li Jing would not be able to rescue Yu easily. Thank you for representing the concubine, princess, princess and female officials in Linhaiju!
Love the house and the Ugly, the Empress Dowager and the Concubine admired Li Jing and Zhong Yanhong very much, and naturally liked the sworn brother of the two.
"Yue Fei was a great man, and was favored by the official family. He was awarded the title of the Jinshi magistrate of Tangzhou. His mother ordered Pengju to be ordered to be ungrateful for a day and would not be ungrateful to the bones to repay the official family!"
It is better to meet than to be famous. Yue Fei's name follows Li Jing and Zhong Yanhong to become famous. He is alone in the Yellow River to reinforce his strength and fight to the death. He is also a story of tattooing.
It is a good impression on people.
Now he speaks sincerely and has a modest attitude, which makes everyone in Linhaiju even closer to him.
"Did Pengju bring Lingtang to Shandong?"
