Zheng Zeshi's concerns are not unreasonable.

The Jianghuai War Zone is undoubtedly the center of this war.

But Yeluzhen gathered all the troops he could muster, and what he wanted was to go straight to the vital point and no longer get entangled with the Song Dynasty on side issues.

If he really made a breakthrough in Jianghuai, his army could march straight into the heart of the Song Dynasty.

The so-called Yangtze River Defense Line is simply unable to block the opponent's front. It can be said that there are loopholes everywhere.

And once the core is fatally threatened, stability elsewhere cannot be ensured.

At least as far as the Western Army is concerned, Xiao Cheng cannot guarantee that his eldest brother can still control everyone at that point.

Xiao Ding is the leader of the Western Army, but in essence, the Western Army is still almost a union of tribes, and everyone has different interests.

When that time comes, I am afraid that even Zhang Yuan will stand against Xiao Ding. If it comes to this step, what can Xiao Ding do? He can't just go with the flow!

Whether Jianghuai can withstand it is not just an aspect issue for Xiao Cheng, but an overall issue.

What's there to think about? Of course I want to live. Tian Fengchun and the other officials in the room nodded repeatedly.

"I don't see that you still want to say a few words for the people under your rule at this time!" The commander laughed: "So, although you have become a thief, you are not completely bad. Don't worry.

, we don’t want food and wages, on the contrary, we will send you food and wages!”

However, there was no humiliation as he expected. The Song Army took him back to the county government. What surprised him was that although the Song Army controlled the county government and all important places in the county, their discipline was excellent and could be called

The previous sentence is true.

That is the stage of regaining the homeland.

This is his best chance to become famous and soar to the sky.

Although the sea is big, it cannot accommodate a small sampan that rebels against the Song Dynasty without the permission of the Song Dynasty.

Recovering the lost territory and returning the capital to Tokyo means the end of the second phase of the war. After the end of the second phase of the war, the New Song Dynasty will gain a great political harvest. The prestige of the court will reach its peak at this stage, and this

At that time, there will be no obstacles to the vigorous implementation of various reforms in the North that have been implemented in the South for many years and have been effective.

The ability to gather thousands of large-scale ships at once is due to the rapid development of maritime affairs in the Song Dynasty in the past decade or so, which includes a series of huge advances in shipbuilding technology, ocean navigation technology, etc. Without the accumulation and accumulation of these years,

Exploration would not be as big a scene as it is today.

Since last year, the navy of the Song Dynasty has been endlessly harassing and attacking the Qi Kingdom's waters. But under normal circumstances, they just burned, killed and looted before leaving. They rarely went ashore to attack cities, but this time

Once, I seemed to be the one chosen by them.

But now, the flag of the Song Dynasty is an existence that no one dares to provoke on the sea. The only ones who dare to go against the ocean navy of the Song Dynasty are the sea and God. Others are irrelevant.

Not to mention armor, they couldn't even get together decent weapons. Letting them fight these regular armies of the Song Dynasty was really forcing sows to climb trees.

Although it was impossible for the distant fleet to see him, Zheng Zhilong still waved his hand and said "bon voyage!"

Shandong Peninsula, Dengzhou.

When it comes to ability, how could he lose to his younger brother?

This time is the time to show yourself to the world. If this is successful, the imperial court will definitely not be stingy with rewards. With this contribution plus the contributions that I have made silently in the Song Maritime Association over the years, a

The reward from the Marquis is appropriate.

But no matter how worried he was, Xiao Cheng's orders could not be disobeyed. For more than a year, he and his father worked hard to make a plan, and as the actual executor of the plan, he even broke his leg while running.

Heartbroken.

The boss was dumbfounded and didn’t know if he was regretting poaching!

There are more than 500 large-scale ships of various types capable of ocean navigation gathered here. These ships will be loaded with soldiers, weapons, food, etc. here, and then set sail, sailing all the way to the Shandong Peninsula.

Get the hell out of your mother, I am not a white-faced Sima!

"If you commit crimes and perform meritorious service, you can live. If things are done well, this official may continue to be an official." The commander banged the table with his scabbard and said loudly.

"Can do it!" Tian Fengchun said immediately without any hesitation.

"Your Majesty, close the city gate, close the city gate!" The Lord next to him looked at the dumbfounded county magistrate and seemed to have lost his soul, jumping to his feet and shouting anxiously.

There were no reinforcements, and the entire Qi Chenggong organic army was transferred away by the King of Qi. All that was left to him was some local regiment training. Now they are the ones running around like rabbits outside.

Yeluzhen had to look back at these two teams and consider how long it would take him to capture Xuzhou before he could have any hope of winning this war.

Tian Fengchun opened the drawing and glanced at it, "Barracks, warehouse?"

What's going on now?

Every fifty ships form a small fleet and set sail, and then form a large fleet with other small fleets during the voyage. Each fleet has a flagship, a pilot, a troop transporter, a food transporter, and an ordnance transporter.

The team has the ability to be self-sufficient in any situation.

And this is the current strength of the Song Dynasty at sea.

Xiangfan and Jianghuai are the main body of this crab. The defense line that has been maintained for several years is like a thick crab shell, and now it is withstanding the enemy's fierce attack.

Once successful, the entire Liao army will be surrounded in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

When the battle on land is over, the Song Dynasty will focus its attention on the sea again. By then, perhaps these cannibals, the Persians or the Westerners will cry!

Tian Fengchun became a prisoner.

Unlike his brother Zheng Zhihu, who has long been famous all over the world, this eldest brother has always been managing internal affairs in his hometown in obscurity. Although he is rich and powerful, he still has some resentment.

He was prepared for the worst, but Song Jun gave him hope of survival.

Therefore, these two battlefields are also another kind of support for the Jianghuai battlefield.

The captain raised his sword forward and roared: "Everyone is here, enter the city!"

The controller took out a stack of drawings from his arms and threw them on the table, "Do you understand?"

"We provide money and food, and you are responsible for recruiting people and building construction. If you do this well, I guarantee that you, the magistrate of Dengzhou, will continue to do it!" The ruling official asked: "Can you do it?"

Thousands of Song troops poured in and entered Dengzhou City.

Mutual influence, mutual penetration, and mutual support.

The thousand ships and one hundred thousand troops that Zheng Zeshi mentioned were the fourth battlefield arranged by Xiao Cheng.

And this is exactly Xiao Cheng's wishful thinking.

If these guys went to other places in the Song Dynasty, they would inevitably be regarded as a curiosity and be watched, but here in Quanzhou, everyone is accustomed to seeing them.

A commander came in and stared at Tian Fengchun up and down for a long time, which made Tian Fengchun's heart tremble.

Zheng Zhilong stood at the dock of Quanzhou Port. In front of him were endless sea ships.

A sea-going ship filled with cargo slowly left the dock and berthed in the open sea under the command of the flag from the dock tower. As soon as this ship left, another ship immediately filled the vacancy left by the previous ship.

, the middle is almost seamless. The high efficiency in work reflects the exploration and progress of Dasong in terminal management over the years. And this is not just the Quanzhou Port. Under the chairmanship of the first assistant Xiao Cheng

Next, all these management regulations were formulated into strict procedures and promoted in all ports of the Song Dynasty.

No resistance,

Don't run away,

If the Liao people cannot make a breakthrough in the Jianghuai River, they will immediately face the catastrophic situation of cut off support, food and grass, and morale collapse.

Zheng Zhilong's eyes glanced at several guys on one side whose clothing and appearance were very different from those of the Song Dynasty people. These people were the leaders of those guys in Quanzhou Port.

"Can we stop the enemy if we close the city gate?" Tian Fengchun sighed: "Look at our broken city wall, which is only ten feet high. Look again, are there a few holes in the wall over there? Build a wall

You sent people to repair your own house, right? And that thin city gate, you can even kick it open and stop the enemy?"

Now, his heart is full of pride.

Two large pliers, one on the left and one on the right, invaded the back road of the Liao army, with the target being Hebei Road.

Once the Battle of Xuzhou ends with the victory of the Song Dynasty, the war will officially enter the second stage.

One more step forward and you'll reach the end.

The city gate was wide open, and there were still a few guys in official robes standing on the city looking at them calmly, which made a captain of the Song Army below a little confused. Shouldn't he run? Even if he didn't run, wouldn't he?

Shouldn't I shoot a few arrows? Then I can command my men to rush up and attack the city!

"I don't know what we are asked to do? We will definitely try our best. But this general, we in Dengzhou really can't get food and salary at the moment, and we don't have much money left. King Qi, no, no, no, the Liu thieves have plundered our place.

The sky has grown three feet out of thin air!" Tian Fengchun swallowed and said with some difficulty.

And this retreat is not as simple as withdrawing from Jianghuai.

Many things that seem to come naturally now are actually accumulated silently over the years!

At present, the military deployment of the Song Dynasty is like a big crab.

A melodious sound of horns was heard in the distance, and then, a fleet of fifty ships slowly pulled anchor and set sail towards the vast sea.

Zhizhou Tian Fengchun was heartbroken. He looked at the enemies in the distance who were rapidly approaching here. The flying flags of the Song Dynasty showed their identity. Those people came from the sea and were the navy of the Song Dynasty.

However, after nine years of service, the work may fall short. The ninety-nine prayers have been completed, and this last tremor must not be ruined. Therefore, the closer to the end, the more cautious Zheng Zhilong becomes, doing everything with his own hands, and making sure that nothing goes wrong.

Among the ships gathered this time, many came from Dali, Persia and the West.

When he first received this task, Zheng Zhilong thought that Xiao Cheng, the chief assistant, must be crazy. This was a completely impossible task.
