Chapter 1160 Queen Song: What’s the point of blaming others at this time?
What’s the use? (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
Hangzhou Prefecture
Just as Jia Heng expected, in an inconspicuous restaurant three miles southwest of Song's residence, Chen Yuan, dressed in a blue scholar's long shirt and a square cloth scarf, was looking at Song's residence, trying to see Song through a clairvoyant telescope.
Security arrangements were made around the mansion in order to look for assassination opportunities.
"Sir, the people from Jinyi Mansion have chased them to Hangzhou Mansion." A tall old man, wrapped in green clothes and wearing a bamboo hat, quietly came to Chen Yuan's side and said in a hoarse voice.
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed coldly, and he whispered: "Don't conflict with them first, so as not to scare them."
The old man in green, who was called Uncle Ning, responded with a yes.
"Sir, Miss Gu is here." At this time, a younger servant entered the hall and said to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan turned around with an indifferent expression. Under his thick eyebrows, his eyes were as cold as a falcon's. His joy flashed away and he said, "I'll go take a look right now."
At this moment, in the hall, on the nanmu chair beside the small table, Gu Ruoqing was dressed in a water-blue dress, with a towering bun, and a hint of tranquility on her beautiful face. There was a handful of sharks on the small table next to her hand.
Sword with leather scabbard.
Accompanied by the rapid and heavy footsteps approaching from far away, Gu Ruoqing looked up and saw a tall and tall young man walking quickly, with a fair and elegant face and a smile on his face, saying: "Miss Gu stepped into the humble house.
Let the humble house shine brightly."
Gu Ruoqing nodded, his expression as cold as cold jade, and said: "Mr. Chen, there is something I want to tell you."
Chen Yuan didn't care much. He sat down, his eager eyes fell on Gu Ruoqing's face, and asked: "Is Miss Gu here for something this time?"
Gu Ruoqing glanced at the old man in green clothes but said nothing.
Chen Yuan ordered: "Uncle Ning, please step back first."
"Yes, sir." The old man in blue responded, and then quietly left the hall.
Chen Yuan turned around and looked at Gu Ruoqing with a smile.
Gu Ruoqing shook his head, his voice as clear and sweet as melting ice and snow, and said, "You followed that man all the way and still haven't given up the idea of assassinating Feng Jia?"
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "It was my cousin who asked you to come here."
Gu Ruoqing said: "I feel that no matter how many grievances the previous generation had, they would never assassinate a woman."
"Weak woman? That temptress and her Song family have been a stumbling block for the father and the king. They should have died long ago." Chen Yuan said coldly: "The temptress will definitely die. Only if she dies can the dog emperor...
…”
As he spoke, he seemed to realize that he had made a mistake and remained silent.
Gu Ruoqing stared at Chen Yuan and said, "If the Queen is assassinated, the Duke of Wei will definitely be blamed. Maybe he will be overthrown?"
Chen Yuan said vaguely: "Absolutely."
This is a hidden move, followed by a second and third step, and the follow-up of the Beijing camp will gradually be controlled by the ideas of their subordinates.
Gu Ruoqing thought for a while and said in a clear voice: "Does Master know this?"
Chen Yuandao: "This was originally a plan planned by Master."
Gu Ruoqing looked thoughtful, she needed to ask her master.
But where is the master at this moment?
Chen Yuan looked at the beautiful woman with picturesque features and said softly: "Ruo Qing, wait until I take back everything my father has, and then I will ask Master for orders..."
Gu Ruoqing didn't wait for Chen Yuan to finish speaking, stood up and said: "If there is nothing else to do, if Ruoqing still has something to do, I will leave first."
After saying that, he stood up, bowed Yingyingfu, and then left the side room.
Chen Yuan sat there, his expression slightly changed, watching the girl leave, his sinister eyes filled with coldness.
This bitch, wait until he becomes the Ninth Five-Year-Old, how will she still maintain such a noble attitude!
…
…
Zhejiang, west of Zhoushan Islands——
After the pirates above the sea were wiped out, the island was occupied by a large number of Han court troops, and the water fortress and beacon were rebuilt as a sentinel to warn against incoming enemy attacks on the coast.
At this moment, there was a beacon tower five or six feet high, and several soldiers who were warming themselves under the turret on the tower were drinking and playing games.
A soldier with a big beard under his chin was holding a wine gourd in his hand. His face was almost red from drinking, like a monkey's butt, as if he wanted to use it to resist the severe cold of winter.
At this time, the soldier on the side got up, shook his swaying body, and was about to urinate. Suddenly he raised his eyes and looked at the sea. He was startled, and most of his desire to urinate was scared away. He rubbed his eyes and discerned clearly.
Dragon flag hanging on the ship.
Shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The people who were drinking and joking at first, upon hearing this, their expressions changed slightly, and they all stood up one after another, looking at the black ship with inexplicable horror.
More than 20,000 boats and sailors gradually approached the coast, which was undoubtedly very spectacular.
"Woo!"
The soldier who first discovered the enemy's situation picked up the horn, puffed up his cheeks, and began to blow.
Along with the desolate sound, the sound of horns sounded in the distance in response, and then horse manure and hay were piled up on the beacon tower, and the beacon smoke was lit, warning the beacon tower in the distance.
The soldiers who were drinking and playing dice on the Fenghou Terrace picked up the weapons at the door and came to the water village.
Ren Li, a member of the Zhoushan Qianhu Office, had received the news at this moment. His face was solemn. Under the service of his own soldiers, he quickly put on his armor, tied up his flying saucer helmet, and said: "Immediately go to Ningbo Prefecture and report the news to the Zhejiang Dusi.
The Jurchens and Korean navy are coming, so let them prepare as early as possible."
Several soldiers took the order and left.
Ren Lidao: "All the water soldiers in the port guard are armed with weapons and will go to the water stronghold with thousands of families to meet the enemy!"
I'm afraid it's going to be much worse this time.
With this thought in mind, Ren Li tightened his grip on his saber and led a group of soldiers outside.
After the Ningbo and Hangzhou guards mobilized troops to go south to Fuzhou to quell the rebellion, the naval strength of Zhoushan's port defense was indeed much empty.
However, after the reorganization of Wang Shuirong of Beijing and the Jiangnan Navy, the Ningbo Guard and Hangzhou Guard and other navies have greatly improved their discipline and combat effectiveness compared with before.
At least they won't run away. Of course, Zhejiang people have always had a strong sense of local sentiment. When the Japanese pirates invaded Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty, many middle- and lower-level officers and sergeants fought tooth and nail to resist.
At this moment, all I could see on the vast sea were warships hoisting dragon flags one after another. The black sea was cutting through the waves, approaching the port of Zhoushan Island.
On one of the ships flying a dragon flag with the word "Qing", Hauge, surrounded by a group of Jurchen flag generals, stood and looked at the enemy.
It was a winter morning, and the winding and undulating coastline in the distance seemed to be shrouded in a light mist, and the houses were silhouetted in the open fields.
There was a hint of coldness on Hauge's majestic face.
He captured the Han people's Zhoushan Island, and after a little replenishment, arrived at Hangzhou Bay. Since the boats of the Hangzhou Guard and Ningbo Guard were not there, he just happened to lead his troops to raid in and easily capture the capital city of Hangzhou.
Hangzhou was a prosperous city for the Han people, and a little looting could boost low morale.
In the past few days, although the elites of the Eight Banners had extraordinary willpower and were not as frightened as the North Korean navy, the Zhenglan Banner fled in a hurry all the way, cold and hungry, and the morale of the elite elites of the bannermen was also somewhat sluggish.
As a large number of ships arrived at the harbor, the bannermen of Zhenglan Banner, led by Shen Ling, Zuo Ling and other Jurchen generals, charged towards the shore while shouting.
The Qianyuan Waterproof Division originally stationed on the island, led by Qianhu Renli, did not last long before being slaughtered by Jurchen soldiers under Haug.
After a large number of bannermen boarded the ship, Hauge, also surrounded by a group of sergeants, came to a towering and solid dock, and the worries of many days were swept away from his face.
Being hunted by the army these past few days, one can imagine Hauge's annoyance.
Hauge smiled and ordered: "Gather fresh water and grain. The troops will have a good meal. Don't stay. Go to Hangzhou Bay immediately and capture the capital of Hangzhou."
When the surrounding generals heard the words, their faces were filled with joy, and they all accepted the order in unison.
At this moment, the news of the Jurchen attack on Zhoushan Island also reached Ningbo Prefecture not far away for the first time.
Because the Ningbo guards were not there, the Ningbo magistrate immediately reported to the Hangzhou Prefecture and the Hangzhou Capital Division with fast horses. At the same time, he recruited officials and Dingfu to go to the city, tremblingly waiting for the Jurchens to advance.
On Zhoushan Island, which was already occupied by the Jurchens, Abatai said from the side: "There are still officers and soldiers chasing behind."
Dong Qian and Shui Yu's navy did not stop their pursuit. In fact, they were only one day's journey away from Hauge's troops.
Hauge ordered: "I will leave you six thousand people. You can contain them here and send a group of troops to the Han people's Ningbo Mansion to plunder. I will personally lead the troops to attack Hangzhou Mansion."
A batai's eyes flashed coldly, and he raised his hands in agreement.
On the other side, the Jiangnan Navy Division, which was pursuing closely, was also led by Dong Qian and Shui Yu and pursued Hauge's troops.
Previously, they were clinging to Hauge's navy, but because they docked in Taizhou for supplies on the way, they missed exactly one day of the journey.
Shui Yu said in a deep voice: "General Dong, we need to catch up as soon as possible, otherwise they may plunder Ningbo Fucheng, where there is no defense."
Dong Qian also had a solemn look on his face and said: "Hauge's navy needs supplies. They will probably attack Zhoushan and pursue them with all their strength."
Shui Yu asked again: "Is there any news from Jieshuai?"
Dong Qian said: "Jie Shuai is at the back, and he should be at the front and back of us."
At this moment, a guard entered the cabin and said in a deep voice: "General, smoke has been lit in the direction of Zhoushan Island and Ningbo Prefecture."
Dong Qian's expression changed slightly and he said: "Something happened. The Tatars are attacking Zhoushan and Ningbo. The next step is to attack Hangzhou."
Shui Yu said: "There are only Dusi soldiers and horses in the capital city of Hangzhou, and the Hangzhou Navy Guards have not returned yet, so they cannot withstand the extremely vicious Jurchens."
"Speed up the ship and rush to the rescue of Zhoushan and Ningbo immediately. Send another ship and report to the Commander-in-Chief immediately." Dong Qian said solemnly.
Shui Yu quickly ordered his generals to do as he was told, and then the navy of Jiangnan Daying, nearly ten thousand people, sailed towards Zhoushan Island.
Just like Generals Dong Qian and Shui Yu, Jia Heng was also leading the boats to rush to Hangzhou.
"The Jin Yiwei of Hangzhou Prefecture said that they have notified the Zhejiang Dusi and the Zhejiang Governor and are mobilizing troops to respond. In addition, the Queen has already resisted the Hangzhou Prefecture." Chen Xiao said softly.
Jia Heng's face was solemn, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said: "Inform the ship to dock immediately. I will lead all the light cavalry on the ship and use fast horses to go to Hangzhou Fucheng overnight."
It is estimated that Hauge is approaching Hangzhou Fucheng at this time. If he encounters Queen Song of Guining again, the consequences will be disastrous.
Chen Xiao frowned and said: "There are still many soldiers and horses in Hangzhou Fucheng. With the precautions taken in advance, there should be more than that, right?"
Jia Heng looked firm and said loudly: "There are no generals in Hangzhou Prefecture. Even if it only takes one day, Hauge can break the city. I will personally lead the cavalry to Hangzhou to rescue and command the troops to relieve the siege of Hangzhou Prefecture."
Chen Xiaoqing said: "Then I will go with you."
Jia Heng held the beauty's shoulder and said: "Xiaoxiao, you still have to supervise the navy here and attack Hauge's headquarters. I can go alone."
When Chen Xiao heard this, he looked at the young man intently, making the young man feel a little uncomfortable. He nodded and said in a clear voice: "Then be careful."
Jia Heng looked at the girl, without saying a word, and moved closer to the slightly moist cherry lips, covering them, and for a long time, said: "Xiaoxiao, be careful too."
Under Chen Xiao's eyebrows, his cold and bright eyes were hazy, and he looked at the young man blankly, with a hint of obsession in his eyes.
Even if he goes up mountains of swords and seas of fire, he will go with her in this life.
Jia Heng stopped talking nonsense and called the boat to the nearest shore. The three thousand cavalry troops mobilized on the boat rushed to Hangzhou Prefecture with fast horses overnight.
A quick horse is undoubtedly much faster than a boat sailing on the sea.
At this moment, as soon as Jia Heng led 3,000 cavalry ashore, they rushed to Hangzhou Fucheng without stopping, as fast as lightning.
In fact, this is the coach's decision-making, or the battlefield sense.
Chen Xiao, on the other hand, continued to lead the fleet navy and continued to approach Zhoushan Island to pursue Hauge's North Korean navy.

Hangzhou Fucheng
On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was sunny and bright, with only the biting cold wind blowing against the city walls and the willow trees beside the moat making a rustling sound.
As for the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen, the storm was about to come. Ever since Jinyi Mansion received Jia Heng's letter from Fei Ge, it immediately informed Liu Zhen of the Governor's Yamen.
Liu Zhen, the governor of Zhejiang, was so shocked that he urgently sent for Gong Changhui, the commander of the Zhejiang capital, to discuss matters. Afterwards, the two men quickly mobilized the guards of Zhou Fang Prefecture of Hangzhou Prefecture to assist Hangzhou Prefecture. At the same time, they inspected the troops and went to Hangzhou Bay to check the enemy's movements.
.
But because they were worried about causing panic, they did not disclose the news. At this moment, the people in Hangzhou Fucheng did not know that Hauge's fleet was about to approach the city.
At this moment, in the official office——
Liu Zhen, the governor of Zhejiang, paced back and forth, his elegant face full of anxiety, while Gong Changhui, the commander of the Zhejiang capital, looked equally worried on his face.
"It's not good, sir." At this time, a young scribe quickly entered the hall and reported to the Zhejiang officials who were discussing the matter: "The prefect of Ningbo sent someone to report that the Jurchen fleet has captured Zhoushan Island, and Ningbo is in danger.
, please also ask Hangzhou to send troops to help." The clerk said in a low voice.
Liu Zhen, the governor of Zhejiang, said anxiously: "Where is the navy in the Jiangnan camp?" But they have already resisted Ningbo?
The document once mentioned that the Jiangnan Daying Navy was in hot pursuit of the Jurchen invading navy, and local officials in Hangzhou Prefecture were told to hold on for a day or two.
"I haven't come to report yet," the clerk said.
Gong Changhui, the capital of Zhejiang Province, stood up, his face full of determination, and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, our Hangzhou Prefecture is fully equipped with soldiers and horses, and we will defend the city of Hangzhou to the death."
At this moment, there are 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses in Hangzhou Fucheng. If it is defensive, it will definitely be able to withstand Hauge's troops.
"The elite Jurchens coming this time are no joke. They have no baggage on the sea. Once they capture the capital of Hangzhou, life will be ruined. The Queen is also in Hangzhou. If something goes wrong..." Liu Zhen said anxiously.
Liu Zhen thought for a while and then made a decisive decision: "Gong Dushuai will discuss the strategy of dispatching troops in the government office first. I will go to the Song family to report the news."
The Song family must first evacuate the capital of Hangzhou. If anything goes wrong, he will die forever.
Then, he summoned a few followers and scribes and headed to Song's residence next to the West Lake.
Song family, in the back house
In the attic, the beauty is dressed in a light yellow dress, with a towering bun, and a face as plump as clouds, as gorgeous as cloud brocade.
At this moment, Empress Song also received the news that the enemy was about to attack, and Yong Lifeng's face looked worried.
The King of Liang said angrily: "Queen mother, what happened to Jia Heng? How could the Jurchen navy be released into the waters of Zhejiang? Where are the navy of Hangzhou Prefecture Guard? Where did they go?"
Empress Song frowned, her clear phoenix eyes glared at Liang Wang Chen Wei, and scolded: "Shut up."
What's the use of complaining at this time?
Song Jing put on a facelift and calmed down her expression, and said: "Empress, the matter is urgent, why not board the ship first and go to Suzhou Mansion and Jinling to take shelter. The Jiangnan Camp will protect the entire Jinling and Suzhou Mansion. There should be no serious problems."
Empress Song's bright and quiet eyebrows were filled with a hint of worry, and she said softly: "But what should I do about my father?"
Song Jing said softly: "Madam, my father is as weak as he is now. It's not appropriate for him to suffer. I'm here to accompany him. If Hangzhou is safe and sound, then everything is fine. In this case..."
Under the curved willow-leaf slender eyebrows, Empress Song's snow-skinned jade face showed an eager look, and she said, "What should we do?"
At this moment, a female official hurriedly came to the mansion and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu, the governor of Zhejiang, is asking to see your Majesty outside the mansion, saying that he has something urgent to report."
Empress Song took a deep breath, gradually calmed down, and said softly: "Third brother, follow me to meet with the officials of Zhejiang Prefecture."
No matter what, she is the lord of the Sixth Palace and has the responsibility of the country, so she is indeed not suitable to stay in this dangerous place, but Hangzhou Mansion should be able to defend it, otherwise, the little fox will not send messages with flying pigeons.
At this moment, Liu Zhen, the governor of Zhejiang, was sitting next to a chair in the flower hall, his face full of anxiety.
At this moment, the inner prisoner's sharp voice sounded: "The Queen has arrived."
Along with the sound of jingling rings and the fragrant fragrance of female officials, Empress Song and Song Jing came to the flower hall. Liu Zhen did not dare to look more and quickly left his seat and stood up.
"We have met the Empress. The Empress is a thousand years old." Liu Zhen bowed respectfully and said.
"Liu Qing stood up without ceremony." The Empress of the Song Dynasty, with her plump waist and plump waist, was sitting gracefully. Her face was as beautiful as peach blossoms and as bright as clouds.
Liu Zhen said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Jurchen Navy is marching southward in a big way. The capital of Hangzhou has become a dangerous place. Your Majesty needs to leave here immediately to avoid colliding with Feng Jia."
No matter whether Hangzhou Fucheng can withstand the Jurchen soldiers and horses, the most noble queen in the world cannot be allowed to risk being captured in Hangzhou Fucheng.
Empress Song said in a calm voice: "Where are the Jurchens now?"
Liu Zhen said: "Your Majesty, we are already heading towards Hangzhou Bay. We don't expect to arrive in the morning or evening. I would like to ask your Majesty to move immediately."
Empress Song pursed her pink lips and said: "How is the defense strength of Hangzhou Fucheng? Can it be defended?"
She is the queen of the mother-in-law world, and she cannot escape from Hangzhou without asking a word.
"Don't worry, Madam, the ministers and all the officials in Zhejiang will do their best to defend the city of Hangzhou. The city is still there!" said Liu Zhen, the governor of Zhejiang.
When Empress Song heard this, her jade face moved slightly, and she nodded and said: "I am already preparing to leave for this trip. I have led many elites from the Beijing camp. They are all elite soldiers from the Beijing camp. I think they can enhance the defense power of Hangzhou's capital city.
"
When Empress Song went south on her trip, she was accompanied by not only the guards of the Jinyi Mansion, but also three thousand elite soldiers from the Beijing camp.
At this moment, a clerk hurriedly came to report and said: "Mr. Liu, the commander-in-chief has asked me to inform you that the Jurchen troops have landed from Hangzhou Bay, and the outpost has arrived at the capital city of Hangzhou."
After a day and night of sailing, Hauge's soldiers and horses had gradually approached Hangzhou Fucheng, and the outpost soldiers and horses had already come into contact with the soldiers and horses of Zhejiang Dusi.
Liu Zhen's expression changed slightly and he said, "Where are you now?"
Empress Song said softly: "Liu Qing will go to the government office to deal with military affairs first, and then I will evacuate the capital of Hangzhou."
"The humble minister will leave." Liu Zhen put on a facelift, and bowed to the Empress of Song Dynasty. Then he led a group of scribes and hurriedly left the Song Dynasty's house.
Empress Song looked at Song Jing aside, sighed, and said softly: "I'm going to say goodbye to my father, let Wei'er pack up, and leave Hangzhou Fucheng."
"Yes, empress." Song Jing responded quickly.
…
…
On the other side, after sailing day and night, Hauge led the flagmen of the Jurchen Blue Flag and finally set foot on the land of Hangzhou Bay. He was followed by two Han generals, Shi Tingzhu and Wu Shojin.
As for Abatai, he was already engaged in a battle with the Jiangnan navy led by Dong Qian and Shui Yu on Zhoushan Island, and he was not around.
At this moment, although the Jurchen soldiers and horses only numbered more than 10,000, looking at the city of Hangzhou, which was just around the corner, their morale was as high as a rainbow.
Under Hauge's thick eyebrows, he looked at Hangzhou Fucheng in the distance with a fierce gaze like a tiger and wolf, and said loudly: "Hangzhou Fucheng is not far ahead. Take Hangzhou Fucheng and don't seal it for three days!"
Hearing this, the female generals and commanders of the Blue Flag who were standing next to them all screamed.
A large number of Jurchen Blue Flag bannermen headed towards Hangzhou Bay like a tide. Not long after, they ran into the reconnaissance scouts sent by Zhejiang Dusi.
The shouts of killing came one after another, and many Han cavalrymen fled in all directions under the pursuit of the Jurchens' blue flag bannermen. They were no match for the Jurchens at all.
In the afternoon of that day, the Jurchen Blue Banners arrived at Hangzhou Fucheng first, and more than 2,000 people galloped under the city, showing off their power.
