Chapter 538: North and South Flanking (Part 1)
When Cai Yan was in Ma Yiguo, he agreed that Boss Su and others could go to Qingzhou. After the elderly even accompanied Cai Yan back to Daming Island, they simply asked someone to inform the Daming Island people and took the boat to Qingzhou first.
It is true that Boss Su is the chief minister of the cabinet, but that is only on Daming Island. After arriving in Qingzhou, a group of old people were in front of Song and Liao. The authority was even worse than Sun Liu, who had been in Liao for several years. It was better to influence Liu Yidao and Annong of the First Division, in the Second Division. In the face of such a situation, how can the elderly people be satisfied?
Boss Su and others lack prestige in both Song and Liao dynasties, but they could make the commanders of Zhou Xiaoqi, Sun Hu and Liu Fang bow down and obey.
Kaifeng not only had to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress, but also cut off thousands of heads in two fourteen prefectures of Zhejiang and confiscated the fields under the name of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. After a group of old people quarreled, they decided to let the three major fleets go south together and open up a second battlefield.
When Gu Qinniang showed up in the front hall with a wheelchair, a tragic naval battle was taking place dozens of miles away from Hangzhou Bay. Li Gang personally led nearly a thousand large and small ships to fight against the three local fleets of the East, South and Daming Island...
Within a radius of more than ten miles, nearly a thousand large and small fleets were fighting fiercely. The sky-shaking war drum could shatter the floating clouds, and countless ships exploding black smoke collided wildly...
It seems chaotic, but if you stand in the sky and look down, you will find that what is really chaotic is the dense ships that are large and small that are surrounding each other. Hundreds of ships are constantly spraying thick smoke, and the loud ships are like cunning wolves hunting, constantly biting the cattle and sheep surrounding each other.
"kill--"
"Kill it up--"
...
"No retreating—"
"Those who retreated died-"
...
"Boom boom boom..."
After a violent explosion, it was like the bow of a wooden building that opened a huge living mouth, and the broken wooden block hit Li Gang's head who was thrown to the ground by his own hands. If it weren't for the iron helmet, the broken wood as thick as his thigh would have killed anyone. Even so, when Li Gang raised his head, his face was covered in blood.
Sun Kuan, the Zhenjiang Zhijun, stumbled and ran over, holding Li Gang with a pale face, screamed: "Sir, go quickly, if you don't leave, we will all die here..."
Li Gang suddenly shook his arm and was about to rob the drumbeat soldiers...
"Boom boom boom..."
Another huge explosion exploded around. Sun Kuan threw Li Gang to the ground without thinking. Just as Li Gang struggled to stand up, a shrill sounded around him. Sun Kuan pointed at the huge mast slowly tilted and screamed in fear.
"Quick... Cut off the mast--"
Countless people screamed and rushed towards the slowly smashed mast with their knives and axes.
"boom--"
The huge mast ten feet long hit hard on the ship that was beyond its reach, and the heavy force almost smashed the unlucky ship into two sections in half.
The mast breaking is more fatal than hitting a reef. When the heavy mast is hit, the huge ship suddenly flips. Li Gang is unsteady and instinctively grabs the thick cable of his arm, and he is hanging in the air.
"Hurry... Save the adults--"
Sun Kuan was quite unlucky and fell into the sea. Fortunately, he was not a literati who knew nothing and was not as iron armor as Li Gang. Otherwise, no matter how good his water nature was, it would be just a word of death.
Countless people tried their best to rescue Li Gang to another ship. At this moment, the battle situation changed again. After the accident occurred when Li Gang's flagship was shot, countless large and small ships surrounding them were like bombarded with cattle and sheep, and they collided with each other in a crazy way...
"fire--"
"Boom boom boom..."
Countless artillery fire exploded among the crowded ships, and countless large ships collided with each other, crushing the small boats into pieces...
"It's over..."
"puff……"
A mouthful of blood was spurted out, and Li Gang fell to the sky, and countless screams were shouting in his ears, but it seemed as far away as thousands of miles away...
...
Nearly a thousand large and small ships collided and fought for more than ten days, and the entire Hangzhou Bay was filled with broken wood and floating dead bodies, which was a terrible fear in the south of the Yangtze River.
On the seventh day of the 12th month, five thousand "pirates" landed, and only one unprepared city was left in Hangzhou.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, five thousand "pirates" left. The government office, all officials of all sizes, were demolished and thrown on the streets even if they were just a clerk. Anyone under the government office was stolen from top to bottom, and a stone tablet was erected in front of the Hangzhou city gate.
Within the next two months, hundreds of large ships swept across the fourteen prefectures of Zhejiang Province. Any ships above 500 materials were either forcibly requisitioned or destroyed or abandoned.
Suzhou, Huzhou, Zhenjiang, Jiangning... Hundreds of gunships visited the Yangtze River and the canal one by one, looted, and officials robbed them all, and erected stone tablets in front of the city gate one by one. When will the 100,000 hectares of land be collected and 100,000 hectares of land be calculated?
Daming Island only robbed the government and did not harm ordinary people. The common people were not fools. Looking around, they were almost the same as ten years ago. The only difference was that the 100,000 soldiers (guard soldiers) in Liangzhe who had divided the fields. No matter how tough Wang Bing was, more than 10,000 soldiers from the Third Division fled without shadow. The 100,000 elderly and weak soldiers from the 100,000 soldiers in the 100,000 soldiers in the 100,000 soldiers in the 100,000 soldiers took the initiative to become prisoners.
When Cai Yan was in Hangzhou, he forcibly changed the military system of the Song Dynasty and divided the fields and cultivated the soldiers according to the heads of the people. When the court appointed Li Gang as the commander of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, although he used the Third Division, he abandoned hundreds of generals of all sizes in the army. After cutting thousands of heads, he slashed the soldiers who had divided the fields with another knife, which made countless people angry.
If Zhou Xiaoqi, Sun Hu and Liu Fang had not come here, it would be fine. Under Kaifeng's pressure, the 100,000-fang soldiers had to bow their heads and surrender. Now, all the robberies and dirty work were handed over to these fang soldiers. Sun Bao, the staff officer of the army, agreed that no matter how much they robbed, 10% of the trophy belonged to them. If the salary of the 100,000-fang soldiers was less than the 100,000-fang soldiers, they would also be compensated.
A hundred thousand soldiers have resentment and a reward of 100% of them. So, if there is no revenge or revenge?
Anyway, when Zhou Xiaoqi saw these people looting the official residence, he was a little worried and afraid. He was too cruel, and he would not let go of the torn straw sandals and rotten cloth heads.
Five hundred thousand hectares, 50 million acres of land, even half of which are tea and melon fields, and 10% of the rent is a terrifying number. Staff Sun Bao promised to give 100,000 fang soldiers a total of 100,000 fang soldiers, which is equivalent to 500,000 jin acres of output. Everyone can get five acres of land, which seems not much. The key is that fang soldiers are almost like slaves and beggars, and they are poor soldiers who often need to steal clothes for the people.
The grain prices in the Song Dynasty were relatively high, and one stone of rice was always silver. Rice was not like wheat in dry fields. It could plant two seasons of rice in a year. According to the annual output of five stones of rice per mu of field, five mu of rice was only twenty-five coins. Even if it was less, it could still get twenty coins. This was much better than being the beggar army of the imperial court.
Everyone strives for the first place when profit is high, but it’s just one, grab it anyway!
One bad news after another came to Kaifeng. The furious Zhao Ji ordered the 200,000 imperial guards to attack Qingzhou to quell the rebellion. As a result, smoke came from behind. Concubine Wen Xiao Sesse was in charge, and the cabinet ministers Yelu Mu and Cai Chong were assisted, and they personally led more than 10,000 cavalry troops to the east and west roads of Beijing. Although they did not carry heavy artillery to attack the city, they almost swept the villages outside the city.
The two wolf smokes rolled, and the quarrels in the court almost overturned the roof. Zhao Ji was angry and whipped Cai You in the prison.
What should I do? The hundreds of large sea ships that I finally built were either sunk or pulled away. The Jiangnan that broke through the defense of the river was just like a woman without clothes.
