After the fall of Chen State, the grass-head kings from all walks of life rose up one after another and attacked each other endlessly.
The same is true for the Shu region, and there are actually dozens of forces in the Shu region, which can be said to be like a mountain.
After decades of fighting, the Zhang family finally stood out and unified Shu. After unifying Shu, the Zhang family did not have the confidence to unify the world, so they stayed within their own borders.
The land route is naturally easy to say, but Yangling Pass is a natural barrier and difficult for birds to cross. The water route is a bit troublesome. After all, you can't spread warships all over a river hundreds of miles long.
Therefore, Zhang vigorously developed the navy and ordered the navy to continuously patrol along the river.
Later, the civil strife in the Zhang family gave outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of it and sail upstream from the waterway to defeat Fangzhou in one fell swoop.
After the Tang Dynasty unified the world, the importance of the Shu navy was reduced, and its establishment and number of troops were reduced by half.
Until Li Mi escaped to Shu, the first thing he did was to revitalize the land and water army. The infantry was okay, just drilled. But the water army was a bit troublesome. The training of the new soldiers was infinitely more complicated than that of the infantry: one was good at water, and the other was
Second, one must be able to walk steadily on a sailing warship and walk as fast as flying...
Moreover, after people have been trained, they still have to wait for the warship.
Warships are not something you can just build if you want. Even if you have suitable wood, you have to wait until the wood is almost dry before you can build the ship.
Therefore, the current situation of the navy in Shu is that there are too many people and few ships.
Zhang Xiu, the commander of the navy, had nothing to do with this situation, so he asked Jiang Qin to take his brothers out to take turns to practice.
Jiang Qin didn't say anything, but in his opinion, this was just a waste of time. It's true that the Chang'an army came, but they didn't have a boat! Could they still swim all the way to Fangzhou?
But the official level was overwhelming, so Jiang Qin had no choice but to face the wind and rain every day.
At this moment, Jiang Qin was happy to see his brother who was a monk, but when he saw the dozen or so people in the cabin, he felt something was wrong.
And Jiang Min came to save him as soon as she opened her mouth, which reminded Jiang Qin of those lobbyists in the novel.
this……
Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother, who can kill me?"
"Fake emperor!"
"Fake Emperor?" Jiang Qin glanced inside, and the wretched man smiled at him, very politely.
"What will you do once Fangzhou is breached?" Jiang Min asked.
"Of course we are facing the enemy." Jiang Qin said.
"Can you possibly defeat Chang'an's army?"
Jiang Qin had some guesses in his mind and remained silent.
Jiang Min sighed: "You are dying in vain. Doesn't it mean that the false emperor wants to kill you?"
"It turns out that brother has become a lobbyist for Chang'an."
Jiang Qin sneered and gave the old thief a cold look.
The old thief gave the good players on the opposite side a look.
If things were not harmonious, he would rise up violently, capture Jiang Qin, and then escape.
Jiang Min sighed: "Although my brother's conditions on Biandan Mountain are not good, that's how it should be for outsiders. When the Chang'an army broke through Yangling Pass, my brother saw it. After breaking the pass, the army did not commit any crimes, but even helped him.
Those poor families were given food or their houses were repaired. The local people rejoiced... Erlang, do you know how Yangling Pass was breached?"
Jiang Qin was silent.
"The local mountain people led the way around to the back of the pass. Erlang, this is the destiny. Under the destiny, the situation is mighty. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish! If I wasn't worried about you, why would I come here?"
Jiang Qin thought of Zhang Xiu. After learning that Yangling Pass had been breached, Zhang Xiu became a little depressed. He drank every day and left everything to him.
"Can't you see the current general situation? His Majesty unified the northern land, conquered the south, and the entire world is under his control. He has hundreds of thousands of troops. And it is a hundred battles. How can those in Shu who have not gone through fighting be able to do that?
To contend with it?”
Jiang Qin lowered his head, and Jiang Min knew that he was moved, so he said: "Brother Wei knows that you are worried about the future. When we came down from the mountain, Brother Wei had the honor to go and see His Majesty. He was indeed a king, and his civil and military personnel were full of talents. And Your Majesty is magnanimous.
.Do you know Liang Jing?"
"Of course I know that he was the confidant of the false emperor, but didn't he die on Luofengpo?"
In order to save his own face, the pseudo-emperor tampered with the matter about Liang Jing's brother and sister.
"Bullshit!" Jiang Min couldn't help but cursed: "Your Majesty was nostalgic and sent people to rescue their brothers and sisters. Now Liang Jing is working under your Majesty. It was Liang Jing who led his people to find Yangling Pass this time.
of trails.”
Jiang Qin's body was shaken.
"Understood?" Jiang Min smiled and said: "Your Majesty was magnanimous and used the puppet emperor's confidants, so the puppet emperor's confidants found an opportunity for your majesty to win. What is this? Destiny! Your majesty has such a big heart, what do you think?
,How does it compare with the pseudo-emperor in Tongcheng?"
After the false emperor entered Shu, the life of the Shu people became more and more difficult, and taxes became higher and higher.
Life was not easy for warriors either. For example, Jiang Qin found someone staring at him near his home. He didn't ask, and he didn't dare to ask.
The false emperor looks like a tyrant, and if Brother A hadn't lied, then the emperor of Chang'an would be more like a real emperor.
Where to go?
Jiang Qin is thinking about it.
"I am very old and have no wife or children, so why are you here? Is it to watch the carrying pole? I come and go, aren't I just worried about you?"
Jiang Qin looked up and saw concern in his brother's eyes, and couldn't help but think of those years when he was a child.
Their parents died early, and Jiang Min lived with several younger siblings, and their life was extremely poor. No woman was willing to marry in such a family. When her younger siblings grew up, Jiang Min would be quite old, and she would have to worry about their marriage.
, where can I find the money to get a wife?
It wasn't until her brothers and sisters got married and married, that Jiang Min was fine and light, but she was shocked to find that her temples were already gray.
In this case, Jiang Min did not blame others and began to travel around the world. Many years later, thinking of returning to his roots after falling leaves, he became a monk in Biandan Mountain.
"Brother!"
Jiang Qin's eyes turned red, "I've suffered a lot from you these past years."
"Why are you suffering?" Jiang Min said with a smile: "The suffering in your eyes is because you are willing to do it for your brother. Isn't this person just doing things he is willing to do in life? As for his wife and children, they are destined by God. If there is no fate,
And forcing it is bound to be a disaster. Now that I am alone as a brother, I don’t know how free and easy I am, hahahaha!”
Jiang Qin nodded, "Brother has the final say!"
Jiang Min glanced at the warship and asked, "Is it convenient to talk?"
"We'll talk about it after we settle down."
"good!"
Then Jiang Qin jumped back and said loudly: "Brother, please settle down first. I will meet you for a drink later."
"Easy to say!"
The two brothers parted ways.
Jiang Min turned around and entered the cabin.
"How?" asked the old thief.
"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"
Jiang Min sat down and the boat moved immediately.
The water surface is split by the bow of the ship, and the blue waves are rippling, just like the old thief's mood at this moment, extremely comfortable.
After landing, Jiang Qin's people took them to find a home where they could stay after their journey.
Jiang Qin went to see Zhang Xiu.
In the navy officer's hall, Zhang Xiu was discussing matters with several close generals. When he saw Jiang Qin coming back, Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Thank you."
Jiang Qin talked about the results of today's inspection, which were still safe, and finally asked: "Yangling Pass has been breached. Commander, do you want to strengthen inspections?"
Zhang Xiu said lazily: "Can Yang Ni still carry the warships of the Southern Zhou Dynasty to Shu? No need."
"yes!"
Jiang Qin went to Nilvzhong later in plain clothes.
"This is Jia Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry."
Jiang Min introduced both parties.
"Jia Ren!" the old thief said with a smile.
This minister of the Ministry of Industry seems a bit obscene.
Jiang Qin felt a little unsatisfied, but he still sat down to discuss the follow-up matters with the old thief.
"I wonder how your Majesty plans to infiltrate?" Jiang Qin asked. He had confidants, but not many. Moreover, he was a talkative person. Once the news was leaked, Zhang Xiu could chop him into minced meat.
"Our people will go all the way along the coast. After passing Shibatan, we will need a boat."
Shibatan is the most dangerous place. After here, the journey is not smooth, but as long as you have a skilled boatman, you can reach Fangzhou all the way.
"I have a good boatman in my hands, but there are many people talking, and I am worried that those people will leak the secret," Jiang Qin said.
Chang'an's army made a surprise attack along the waterway. There must be many people and horses coming, and there were also many boatmen who needed to be mobilized. Jiang Qin was not sure.
"There's no need for a boatman." The old thief said, "Just two or three guides who know the details of the hydrology along the way are enough."
Jiang Qin was stunned, "Then who will steer the boat?"
"As early as after defeating the Southern Zhou Dynasty, His Majesty prepared to form a naval army, so he transferred many soldiers and boatmen from the Southern Zhou Navy. There are quite a few accompanying him this time."
The old thief said it calmly, but it made Jiang Qin's heart tremble.
Historical dynasties have not valued naval forces. Logically speaking, after conquering the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the emperor could just keep the naval forces along the coast of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. But it seems that the emperor actually wanted to build a larger naval army.
This vision and courage made Jiang Qin couldn't help but stand up and said: "In this case, I am willing to be the pioneer!"
"good!"
The old thief was happy in his heart, "It won't be too late, get ready now."
A few days later, Jiang Qin received news that the raiding troops had approached Shibatan. In the name of training, he swept away most of the navy's ships.
There was a wide stretch of water in front of the Eighteen Beaches. Jiang Qin ordered the ships to dock here. Except for dozens of confidants who stayed behind, everyone went ashore and began to practice.
The navy must be able to kill the enemy, right?
Jiang Qin led the Shu naval army and ran away.
Only then did dozens of Chang'an scouts appear.
"Right there!"
Looking at the ships, the scouts turned around.
Behind him, there was an overwhelming water force.
These sailors were obviously smaller than the northerners. Looking at the ships, the general at the head said: "Your Majesty, the waterway is open and clear!"
Behind you, a steady stream of troops are advancing...
…
Jiang Qin led the navy and ran back.
As soon as we arrived at the shore, we saw that the boat was full of people.
Crossbows and longbows were densely aimed at them.
Some people turned around, and thousands of people were slowly approaching.
…
"Your Majesty ordered the navy to conduct strict inspections!"
Zhang Xiu received the order from Tongcheng.
"yes!"
After the envoy left, Zhang Xiu asked, "Where is Jiang Qin?"
"I said I was going to practice, but I didn't come back for a few days."
"Go and ask."
Before they set off, Jiang Qin came back.
He led more than ten people into the lobby.
"Who are you... who are these people?" Zhang Xiu saw that the dozen or so people had unfamiliar faces. An idea came to his mind and he immediately rushed towards the horizontal knife hanging on the wall.
An arrow flew and killed Zhang Xiu.
Immediately, the sound of fighting came from outside.
More than half an hour later, the navy station in Shu fell.
