Chapter 958: Earthquake and Thunder (1)
In this world, some things are great.
The fall of mountains and rivers, the change of dynasties, at a certain point, these huge historical events completely changed people's lives, determined the future direction of an entire country, and left a strong mark in the books of history.
But in a very small place, it cannot really interrupt every day that people experience. No matter how great the sadness is, it cannot change people's physiological needs, and no matter how great the humiliation is, it cannot make people forget to eat and drink.
In the first month of Lin'an, a fragile balance has been naturally established in this city that has experienced the ravages of war.
The Jurchens entered the city in May of the previous year. After entering the city, there were continuous fighting and suppression, and hundreds of thousands of people broke out and fled. A large number of craftsmen were captured by Jurchen soldiers and escorted north. Countless rapes of women occurred; repeated resistance in the city was massacred.
After several months of chaos, there are now more than 700,000 residents left in the big city where more than a million people originally lived. The market still needs to be open, supplies still need to be circulated, and the government offices are already in operation. The police officers and policemen are chasing down some trivial matters such as chickens and dogs, and occasionally hunting down some lawless elements who disrupt social order. A few more brothels and houses have been opened.
Guilds in the markets have also been organized one after another. After the local gangs that used to collect protection fees were eliminated, there will be big and round men to fill the gap. Occasionally, you can hear that someone has a relationship with the Jurchens. , with the backstage and the like.
After Zhou Yong's death, the small court that took over Lin'an continued the existence of the "Wu Dynasty". The basis of their existence came from the escape of several regents left behind when Zhou Yong left - Zhou Yong's escape At that time, he took away his confidants such as Qin Hui and entrusted several ministers to stay in Lin'an for continuous negotiations with the Jurchens. Of course, there were die-hards among the courtiers who were unyielding in the face of Zongfu Zongbi's might, but within three months, of course they would all die cleanly.
The subsequent "Wu Dynasty" court gradually formed a team with Tie Yan, Wu Qimei and other figures as the core.
The Wu Dynasty court issued letters of surrender several times in the name of Zhou Yong, asking Zhou Junwu to give up resistance and negotiate with the Jurchens for the sake of the world. After Zhou Yong died at sea and Jun Wu Jiangning proclaimed himself emperor, the imperial court produced Zhou Yong's "blood edict", accusing Zhou Pei of killing ministers to seize power, committing regicide at sea, and accusing the prince of disobeying the emperor's orders. , depriving Junwu of his inherited power.
So, when Junwu proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangning and changed the name to "Zhenxing", the small court in Lin'an found a leftover royal family who was said to be related to the Zhou family, and used Zhou Yong's blood letter as the By virtue of this, he was established as emperor and his reign title was "Jiatai".
Compared to the "former prince" who was aggressive in military affairs, proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangning and then abandoned Jiangning, Emperor Jiatai had a kind and gentle temperament, caring about the world and the people. After he succeeded to the throne, he began to reflect on the Wu Dynasty. Despite the past mistakes, on the other hand, he began to actively negotiate with the Kingdom of Jin, hoping to find a proper way to put an end to the war and save the people from the fire.
At this time, Jiangnan was already in dire straits and the people were in dire straits. Although in the general direction, the people of the world had no favorable impression of the Kingdom of Jin, the small court in Lin'an chose to promote propaganda in another direction.
On the one hand, it claimed to be actively engaged in peace talks with the Jin Kingdom. On the other hand, the small court in Lin'an threw out a lot of public opinion scandals that had been suppressed in the past decades, including the corruption and incompetence of the Wu Dynasty court. , Cai Jing’s Covering the sky with one hand, Tongguan's redemption of the sixteen states of Yanyun, military incompetence, the general's greed for life and fear of death, and even the dirty secrets of Emperor Jinghan, Zhou Zhe and many emperors, as an emperor, in court affairs The wanton behavior...etc.
Since the disgrace of Jingping, when the Jurchens captured Zhou Ji back to the north, these black materials have actually been spread to the south every year. However, when the orthodoxy of the Wu Dynasty was still there, the imperial court was able to completely suppress these remarks. , even if it occasionally slips through the net, at least the people from the eldest princess's house are still there, and the court still has centripetal force, and someone will come forward to refute it.
But in the blank period after Zhou Yong left, all public opinion was truly controlled by the Lin'an court.
“Speaking of these things, although the Jurchens are cruel, the Wu Dynasty has reached this point, and it is really...the fault is yourselves...”
“Civil officials form cliques, emperors are unruly, and military generals Greedy for money and afraid of death..."
At the turn of the year, you can often hear such sighs from the surviving scribes in Lin'an City.
As for people with higher status and better information, of course they know more things. In order to maintain the orthodox qualifications of the "Jiatai" Emperor, the scandal in the court did not involve Zhou Yong, but the ugly behavior of Zhou Yong abandoning the city when the Jurchen troops came to the city was well known to all the powerful families.
When the elders of these wealthy families no longer suppressed public opinion, people talked about the farce of Zhou Yong abandoning the city and leaving, talking about all the stupid things over the years, and even talking about the man who succeeded to the throne in Jiangning and then set off on his journey. The "former prince" who escaped couldn't help but shake his head. Strange to say, in the past people were not aware of it when they were in it. When they were able to talk about it freely, most people couldn't help but feel that it would be a strange thing if such a country did not perish.
More than half a year has passed since the fall of the Wu Dynasty. During it, the massacre of the resisters, the inner struggles of the wavers, the conflicts and struggles between the surrenderers and the resisters, the blood flow on the court and in the city Blood, piles and pieces are hard to describe in detail. At the end of the year, after most of the fierce resisters had been eliminated, the court headed by Wu Qimei and others was temporarily stabilized.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Shan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, rode a carriage through the streets of Lin'an, preparing to go to Wu Qimei's home for a party.
Opening the curtain of the carriage, the street outside still looks deserted. Not many shops are open. Snow is piled up on the roadside. The passers-by with sleeves wrapped up seem to be looking at it with gloomy and hostile eyes. Everything in the market, especially the figures of the "powerful people". Li Shan could always detect the feeling of being angry but not speaking out.
It is the misfortune of the world to be born in an era of great turmoil. But if you survive, be content.
With this thought in his mind, he lowered the car curtain.
No one is born evil, and of course, few people are born to look down upon death. Sometimes you have to be conceited, sometimes you have to take a roundabout way, and sometimes...for example, the Wu Dynasty has become extremely decadent, and you can only let go. This is Li Shan's current view.
Li Shan’s mentor is the current Right Chancellor Wu Qimei. The Wu family was a powerful family in the south of the Yangtze River in the early days. During the Jinghan period, the political core of the Wu Dynasty was still in the Central Plains, and the power in the south of the Yangtze River was at the edge. Although Wu Qimei had a scholarly name when he was young, he became tired of the strife in the officialdom in his early years. After losing the political struggle, he returned to the south of the Yangtze River and lived in seclusion to raise his hopes. His talent and reputation were similar to those of Qian Xiwen and others in Hangzhou. He covered the whole place and was difficult to enter the center.
After the fall of the Central Plains, the imperial court that moved south relied heavily on the power of the large families in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Wu family became an important family in the south of the Yangtze River. Wu Qimei was very thoughtful - when he was frustrated, he often compared himself to Qin Siyuan, the Duke of Qin who had experienced the Blackwater Alliance. At that time, Qin Siyuan had not yet been rehabilitated, but as the leader of a large clan, many of the reasons behind it could be seen clearly. Qin Siyuan's many actions after his resurrection, including disaster relief, the Northern Expedition, and the persistence of Taiyuan and Bianliang. Qin Siyuan worked hard and sacrificed too much, but finally fell to the balance of officialdom. These things made Wu Qimei feel sad.
However, even though he was a man of world affairs, after the imperial court moved southward, it gave status and power to the big families in the south. However, several positions in the center were still controlled by a few elders of the imperial court. Zhou Yong knew that his abilities were limited. We only seek to ensure stability in the appointment of officials, but do not put much effort into promoting new people and supporting new forces.
Wu Qimei therefore could not reach the top of the officialdom, but his reputation was already high and his family was powerful. If he could not become the prime minister, the other minor officials would be meaningless. For this reason, after Jian Shuo Chaotang settled in Lin'an, Wu Qimei established "Jun Society", which means "the rule is important", secretly supported many people, and established a small circle in the officialdom. This can be regarded as a political detour. If he is unable to serve as prime minister, it would be good for him to simply make his position more detached and become the person behind the scenes of the Wu Dynasty.
In fact, the "Jun Society" established by Wu Qimei once hoped to become a "Jun Society", which is similar to Qin Hui's idea. Zhou Yong can only be said to be a symbol in power. Many people wanted to put their chips on Jun Wu at the beginning. Wu Qimei himself has a large number of connections, strong strength, and outstanding disciples available - no matter how you look at it, she looks like The second Qin Siyuan, but until the end, the stupid boy named Zhou Junwu did not recognize him, which made Wu Qimei also feel angry and humiliated.
Sure enough, there is no shortage of capable ministers like Qin Siyuan in this world, but the world has long been decayed and cannot accommodate one or two Qin Siyuan.
——Li Shan was not very clear about this reason. He originally studied at Wu Qimei's home. In the third year of Jianshuo, Wu Qimei helped him become a Jinshi. Since then, his official career has been smooth. When the Jurchens came, Li Shan once called for resistance, and even thought about fighting the Jurchens vigorously to the death. But these ideas can be enthusiastic and generous before they come to the forefront, but when the matter comes, everyone is still a little hesitant.
Later, as Zhou Yong fled, his mentor was heartbroken and cried out that the Wu Dynasty was going to fall, but how could the people deserve it? When the Jurchens entered the city, the situation took a turn for the worse. Some people chose to resist generously and were then massacred. Tie Yan, Wu Qimei and others stood up and tried to save innocent people, and a small court was established.
These things are certainly humiliating, and they may also be infamy in future history. But if no one does this, people in the world will only die more.
What can people like ants understand?
The carriage moved forward and when it arrived at Wu Qimei’s residence, many people had already arrived. These people were either Li Shan's senior fellow apprentices or Wu's close friends in the court. Many of them wished each other happy New Year after meeting. Li Shan met with several familiar brothers and heard what they talked about. Most of them were about the expansion and training of the new army by Chen Wei, Dou Qingfeng and others of the Wu faction.
Since the fall of Lin'an, looking at the outside world, there are currently three battles being fought: one is the former prince who is still being chased everywhere by Zong Bi's troops, and the other is the bloody battle near Tanzhou where Yinshu Ke Yu is fighting. Third, the battle between the southwest bandits and Zong Han Xiyin is not over yet.
But for everyone in the Lin'an court, apart from Zhou Junwu's existence, it can be regarded as an immediate threat. For Black Flag, the other party has not been near Jiangnan for more than ten years. Speaking of the regicide more than ten years ago, it was extremely heinous, but After all, it’s not enough to feel something that I haven’t seen in more than ten years.
The army is what the various factions in Lin'an's small court care about today.
As for why we surrendered and why Wu Dynasty perished, we can break out a flower. But the capitulationists are not naive - or it can be said that only the capitulationists understand the reality exceptionally well. No amount of reasoning can save his own life. Once the Jurchens withdraw, the only thing they can rely on is the army.
Fortunately, the rule of the Wu Dynasty has collapsed, and the various forces and ethnic groups that make up the small court often have their own "base areas" and their own spheres of influence in many places. After the surrender, the first thing the big clans headed by Tie Yan and Wu Qimei promoted was conscription - Zongfu Zongbi was not disgusted with such behavior. In other words, it was with their encouragement that the forces in various places were established. Such actions.
For the Jurchens who were beyond their reach, a chaotic and divided Jiangnan "Wu Dynasty" that was generally inclined to the Jin Kingdom was in the best interests of the Jin Dynasty. For the various forces that have chosen to surrender in order to save their lives, the best way to ensure their own safety is to destroy the Wu Dynasty's orthodoxy as quickly as possible so that they cannot rely on "righteousness" to stand up.
Because of this tacit understanding, in the past few months, Zong Fu Zong Bi was chasing Jun Wu and searching for trophies, while everyone in the Lin'an court was busy smearing Wu Dynasty and carrying out a busy enclosure movement. Wu Qimei was in charge of the center, and his generals had more than 300,000 troops in various places. Li Shan and other civil servants worked hard to transfer some of the resources still retained by the Lin'an court to these troops, hoping that they could quickly transform into elites. In the future, it will become the basic force of the new Wu Dynasty.
Since Wu Qimei compares himself with the descendants of Qin, there are many similarities between the Wu clan and the Qin clan back then. For example, after Wu Qimei became prime minister, he quickly established a new secret investigation department of the Wu Dynasty, chaired by his most trusted disciple Gan Fenglin, and recruited various people from all walks of life to work for him. Among his disciples there were those who valued business, so Wu Qimei thought highly of him.
When everyone gathered together, they occasionally talked about the events of the Qin Dynasty back then. When talking about Monk Jueming, he said that he has royal blood after all, but it was because of connections that he became famous. Although his reputation is great, it is difficult to live up to it. When talking about Ji Kun, he said that he was born as a servant and could handle details well but lacked generosity. Speaking of Cheng Zhouhai, He assisted Zhou Pei, but was unable to prevent the royal family's strife in advance. As a result, Zhou Yong fled and the power of the eldest princess' palace collapsed quickly, which was embarrassing.
There is also Ning Liheng, the act of regicide is too reckless. If he had planned it slowly, how could the world have reached the point where it is today... Everyone started talking about all these things.
In the evaluation, there is a natural and hidden contrast. Now that Zhou Pei is at sea, Zhou Junwu is fleeing east and west, and the war in the southwest is even more distant. Wu Qimei, Gan Fenglin and others occasionally mentioned that not many people dared to question Zong Han Xiyin's strength, and the Black Flag Army Rebellious and unpopular, during the more than two months when the Jurchens went to the southwest, not only did the Jiange side turn to the Jin Kingdom, there were also various rebellions of various sizes in the southwest.
According to news from the southwest, by mid-December alone, during the confrontation between the Black Flag Army and the Jin people, more than thirty rebellions had arisen in the areas under their control. These rebels, numbering dozens or hundreds of people, took advantage of the opportunity when the Jurchens were coming to kill and the Black Flag was in trouble, destroying roads behind the Black Flag Army and leading their troops into the mountains.
The most urgent thing facing Li Shan and others now is not the Black Flag Army. Wu Qimei and others occasionally mentioned it with the sobriety of bystanders: the civil strife in the southwest was caused by Ning Yi using veterans to go to the countryside. The consequences of fighting for power with the local sages.
——Ning Yi used veterans, patrol teams, storytelling teams, and military medical teams to go to remote villages. The scholars in these villages secretly said that the Black Flag Army was a catastrophe that ignored the laws of nature and was an unruly army. The fatherless devil.
“Whoever breaks the rules, the rules will turn around and eat him.”
The war in the southwest that is far away has already had a direction in the eyes of Lin'an people. Occasionally speaking of it, even more What is fascinating are some anecdotes from that year: More than ten years ago, the La La uprising took place and occupied Hangzhou. The inner demon Ning Yi was once trapped here. The Ba Dao Camp station where he was then is now fighting The Prime Minister's Mansion is two streets away, but the scenery of the past has long since changed. As for the current residence of the Right Prime Minister, it was a more famous place back then. It was originally owned by the great scholar Qian Xiwen. Qian Xiwen led his family to resist when Fang La destroyed the city. Later, the house was burned to the ground. After Fang La was destroyed, someone bought the place. It was renovated several times in more than ten years and eventually became the residence of the Right Prime Minister.
During the party, these anecdotes spanning more than ten years were narrated by Gan Fenglin, the usually steady "elder brother" among the people. Li Shan looked outside and saw the snow-covered wintersweet in the courtyard, and guests and friends were coming and going. Come on. Thinking about the past ten years, I just feel that although Lin'an is still in the hands of the Jurchens, in the future, I will be able to exhale and raise my eyebrows, with a sense of heroism in my chest.
After finishing chatting about anecdotes, their conversation soon turned to the most urgent topic of military recruitment and training.
This is the fifth day of the first lunar month of the first year of the revitalization of the Wu Dynasty - or the first year of Jiatai. Not many people realize how turbulent and overwhelming the next year will be. But just this afternoon, the battle report from the southwest reached Lin'an, violently shocking everyone in Lin'an at this time.
That was the news that on December 19th, the Chinese army broke through Yuyuxi and killed Lili. This news was like a thunderbolt, which even shocked Li Shan and others for a while. He could clearly remember the faces of Wu Qimei, Gan Fenglin and others that day. It was during the private gathering that night that he heard Wu Qimei think about it for a long time and said with a gloomy face: "The thing in your hand is the thing." My own, from now on, the new army is The first priority. "
Wu Qimei did not emphasize too much. Everyone knew clearly: In fact, whether Zhou Junwu made a comeback or Southwest really resisted the attack of Zong Han's army, the only one who could really save them was It will be an army in hand. The battle report from the Southwest only sounded the alarm even more strongly for them.
This gloom lasted for seven days. On the evening of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Li Shan was quickly summoned to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. When they met, Wu Qimei was calm and joyful: "I have said before that those who break the rules will not end well. ”
Southwest’s second battle report reached Lin’an as quickly as possible.
These days, the war situation in the southwest has been changing rapidly.
The Battle of Yuyuxi on December 19th not only brought great confidence and benefits to the Chinese Army, it also detonated the determination of some local forces behind the Chinese Army who were still waiting and watching. Starting from the 24th, several unrests organized by rural sages and landlords broke out in various parts of the southwest. Although these unrests did not directly affect the overall situation, they indirectly diverted the already tense troop deployment of the Chinese Army. On the night of New Year's Eve, in Huangming County, Ba Lisu once again launched a tidal wave of attacks against the Chinese army.
Seemingly stimulated by the defeat of Yuyuxi, Huangming County's attack was extremely violent. For three consecutive days, Ba Lisu personally launched wave after wave of fierce attacks. The Chinese army's resistance on the Huangming Defense Line was also extremely tenacious, but it still suffered huge casualties.
During this attack, Ba Lisu gathered a large number of Han troops who had been hoarding on the front line, and even drove away some of the wounded Han troops, ordering them to launch a frenzied attack on part of the city wall. Huangming County has experienced two months of tenacious defense, resulting in heavy casualties. The general staff is preparing to take advantage of the fact that the Han army in front is not strong and launch a wave of counterattacks.
The offensive and defensive situation in Huangming County actually did not give Pang Liuan's Second Division much choice. Compared with the intricate terrain of Yuyu River, the Huangming County side is just a city wall. In front of the city wall is the battlefield, and beyond that is the Jurchen camp and the narrow mountain road. Once the Jurchen command the army to attack, even the cowardly Han army will not be able to attack. Room to retreat. If the Black Flag Army refused to surrender, the army would have no choice but to continuously attack the city, or wait cowardly to die on the battlefield.
The defense of the Second Division is extremely tenacious, and the number of artillery pieces is also the largest among the Black Flag Army. For more than two months, Huangming County’s battlefield exchanges have been more eye-catching than that of Yuyuxi. But no matter what, their losses were heavy - even though this was already the best result in the defensive battle.
The turmoil at the end of the year has tightened the Chinese army's military lines. Although Huangming County can still hold on, the increasing casualties are always worrying. Considering that the defeat of Yuyuxi lasted only ten days, the Jurchens had not yet adjusted their attitude towards the Han army on a factual level, so they surrendered to part of the Han army at the Huangming County position.
The counterattack broke out on the evening of the third day of the first lunar month. After hearing that the Chinese army had opened the door to recruit surrender, the turmoil of the Han army on the battlefield began. Pang Liu'an gathered an elite regiment to drive from the rear. A Han army that decided to surrender cut into the Jurchen position from the middle of the battlefield, and chaos spread in an instant.
The whole chaos lasted on the battlefield for nearly half an hour. The chaos continued to expand. An elite group of Xi people was cut off at the front of the battlefield, and almost the entire army was wiped out. The Nuzhen general Ba Lisu rushed to the front to suppress the formation, resisting the situation before the chaos. The Black Flag Elite Assault Regiment rushed forward, and another Han general in the rear military camp on the Jurchen side took the opportunity to cause trouble, detonating half of the arsenal and sending flames into the sky.
The situation is realistic and subtle. Pang Liu'an and Chief of Staff Guo Chen finally made the decision to invest two more regiments of troops to attack with maximum strength to determine the outcome of the battle in Huangming County.
When three thousand people entered the battle and kept pushing forward, a Han army carrying the head of General Xiren was chased by the Jurchens towards the city. On the other side, another It was an elite group of Han troops that launched an attack on the black flag team that rushed out of the city wall.
After waiting with peace of mind for more than two months in the successive attacks, the defenders of Huangming County entered Ba Lisu - a woman whose status was second only to Xi Yin, Yin Shuke and Shu Liesu. The veteran general——in the planning. When thousands of Jin elites counterattacked, shouting "You have been tricked", the Han troops who were originally prepared to defect on the battlefield also chose their side again.
At the end of the day, hundreds of artillery fire were fired from the top of the city in Huangming County, corresponding to the artillery fire from the Jurchens. Even though the power of the cannon was overwhelming, half an hour later, the surging army still broke the thin defensive string at the top of Huangming City. After all, the Second Division at this time was no longer in the state of full strength and vigor at the beginning of the war. They lost 4,000 men and later added 2,000 new soldiers. When more than 3,000 men were thrown into the battlefield, the just-enough defenders on the city finally revealed their flaws. That night, from the time the Jurchens set foot on the city, fierce fighting, attack and defense began. Everywhere in the county is unfolding.
What Ba Lisu showed in this battle was not a bizarre plan, but more like the pinnacle of his military skills throughout his life. On this day, both the defeat and chaos on the battlefield were interpreted extremely realistically, and it was also It was this kind of realism that gave Pang Liuan and others the right temptation, causing them to involuntarily choose to attack when they needed a decision most - just because they did not attack, the huge results were fleeting, and Huangming County would continue to fall into Fierce attacks and defenses day after day.
The third day of the first lunar month also happens to be a psychological key point: after the defeat of Yuyuxi, the Jurchen army’s distrust of the Han army has been rising. The Chinese army responded to this, such as issuing Leaflets, slogans to attract surrender... these methods made the surrendering Han army's position more embarrassing.
Whenever the staff members of the Chinese Army talk about these methods, they are actually somewhat proud. But such pride and complacency blinds people's eyes to a certain extent.
On the night of December 28, Zong Han summoned everyone to carry out a heroic mobilization. In essence, he was trying to stabilize the position of the Han people in the army. The Chinese army could even see the embarrassment: the front line There were too many Han troops, and the road in the rear was narrow. These Han troops could not be withdrawn or killed for a while. If they could not stabilize their morale, the Jurchens' southwest battle would basically be unnecessary.
In the ten-mile meeting on the 28th, Balisu, who was sitting at the front, did not participate. He launched an attack on the 30th night. On the third day of the lunar month, theoretically speaking, it was impossible for the Jurchens to attack the Han The army made proper arrangements... Such factors deepened the authenticity of the Jurchen chaos.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the Second Division of the Chinese Fifth Army was defeated in Huangming County.
Corresponding horizontally to the battle of Huangming County, there is actually another round of battle.
Starting from the first day of the first lunar month, the Jurchens launched a secret and high-intensity round of troop deployments on the front line. In the early morning of the second day of the first lunar month, the Yuyuxi position, which had just completed the defense change, was attacked by the Jurchens. Moreover, a rebellion broke out in the captive camps in the rear that had not been completely broken up and reorganized. On the Yuyuxi front line, Wanyan Zonghan, the commander of the Western Route Army, arrived at the battlefield and launched an attack.
This information misled the Chinese Army Staff to a certain extent. It believed that the Huangming County offensive, which had been stable, was actually to cover the strong attack on Yuyuxi - this kind of desperate risk-taking has always been the case. Jurchen style, therefore failed to make the best response.
A mistake on the battlefield will cost you an unforgettable price.
The Battle of Yuyuxi and the Battle of Huangming County were separated by half a month, but the news arrived in Lin'an only seven days apart. As soon as Huangming County was defeated, the battle report was quickly sent eight hundred miles back to Lin'an, which was more than three thousand miles away, so that the ministers in Lin'an could make decisions as quickly as possible.
After receiving the battle report, Wu Qimei's face turned red, but she was already relieved.
The Jurchens defeated the Chinese army, which shows that the situation in the world is still within their control and speculation. If one day, people like Wanyan Zonghan are defeated by the Chinese army, it may mean that the direction of the world has completely deviated from their predictions and the scope of "common sense". This is actually the most terrifying thing for them. things.
"Train troops... seize the time and train troops."
On this night, Wu Qimei repeated this sentence briefly and powerfully, with a subtle and righteous tone, and the bearing of a big shot.
After everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they nodded in agreement with the power of these words.
At this moment, the big shots in Lin'an have not realized that this turbulent spring has just begun, and their awareness, speed and strength cannot even keep up with the changes in the next message. Just after the Jurchens broke through Huangming's defense line, the battle in the southwest quickly became involved in fierce fighting.
The scouts ran at high speed through the mountains and forests. Qu Zhengyan, Han Jing and others led the cavalry along the rugged mountain roads and tried several times to cut into the side and rear of the opponent's army. This is a rapidly changing adjustment period on the battlefield. The armies of both sides are trying to seize any loopholes before the other party regains its footing and expand the chaotic situation.
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month when Wu Qimei received the first Huang Ming war report in Lin'an, troops were stationed in the north of Jianmen Pass, and the Chinese Seventh Army, which was eyeing the Jurchen rear defense, was attacked by Qin Shaoqian. Under the leadership, the first blow was struck towards the Jurchen defense line in the south.
Facing the Chinese army with the most powerful momentum and always threatening the Jurchens' retreat, Wanyan Xiyin, who was sitting at the rear, took action unhurriedly. From the 14th to the 20th of the first lunar month, during a total of seven days, this 20,000-strong army encountered an equal number of seventeen Han troops and defeated them.
Dramatic and ferocious changes are brewing in more places. In the first month of the year, in Fujian, Cheng Zhouhai, who had been rated as "embarrassing a useful person" by Wu Qimei, Gan Fenglin and others, quietly entered Fuzhou City, which was being controlled by Tie Sanwu, the cousin of Tie Yan, the left prime minister of Jiatai. On the ninth day of the first lunar month, a rebellion broke out in Fuzhou City, and the army massacred Fuzhou Prefecture. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Tie Sanwu's head was hung on top of the city.
On the same day, the eldest princess Zhou Pei, wearing a bright yellow dress, stepped onto the Fuzhou city wall with a human head still hanging there, guarded by everyone. Through the shrill cold wind, I looked at the snowy fields in the north. In that direction, Jun Wu, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong's teams were still being chased by the Jurchen army.
Near Tanzhou (Changsha), Yinshu defeated Zhu Jing's troops and massacred Juling County on this snowy day. Chen Fan and others built a defense line near Tanzhou, but they also fought in a hurry. retreat, but in the midst of the army that Yin Shu can command, a huge A big conspiracy is quietly brewing:
A young Han general named Yu Mingzhou, after he ruined his own army twice and lost three fingers in the war, became the leader of the Han army because of his cruel and extreme behavior. His character gradually gained Wanyan Qingjue's trust. Soon, the young general will reveal his ferocious face behind Wanyan Qingjue and Yin Shuke...
Spring has not yet arrived, but the earth is already thundering. (End of chapter)
