Chapter 1162 Queen Song: Isn’t that little fox always resourceful?
,how could...
Hangzhou Fucheng
In the evening, the golden red sunset in the west shone on the blood-stained city walls of Hangzhou, and a sense of desolation and desolation filled the hearts of the Zhejiang officials present.
By this time, the war was gradually coming to an end, and the scattered resistance of the Jurchen bannermen was gradually wiped out by the official army, except for some cavalry who began to pursue the Jurchen bannermen who fled to other places.
As for the North Korean navy, seeing that the situation was not good, they dropped their weapons and surrendered to the government troops in droves.
The Han army began to clean the battlefield, bury the corpses, and put out the flames.
At this moment, Jia Heng also defeated several larger groups of Jurchen soldiers and horses, and dispatched his soldiers to pursue them. Surrounded by a group of personal guards, he arrived in front of the city gate of Hangzhou Fucheng.
Liu Zhen, the governor of Zhejiang, and Gong Changhui, the commander of the capital of Zhejiang, came down from the city gate tower and went to greet Duke Wei of the Han Dynasty.
At this moment, Liu Zhen looked at the young Duke. Even though the city was very deep in the past, he had escaped from death. His face was still full of excitement, and he said: "The Duke of Wei is here. The people of Hangzhou are like a rain after a long drought.
.”
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Master Liu, knowing that the military situation in Hangzhou is critical, I abandoned my boat and came all the way. I finally made it over. Fortunately, the city of Hangzhou was as safe as a rock, and there was no danger."
After saying that, he looked at the Zhejiang officials, his eyes fell on Liu Zhen's face again, and asked: "Is the unknown queen in the city?"
Liu Zhen said: "I don't dare to let the queen take risks. I have already informed Song Guojiu and asked people to take a boat to evacuate Hangzhou Fucheng and go to Huzhou to Jinling."
Jia Heng's face was startled, and he looked at the general of the Beijing Camp who was standing not far away. He recognized Luo Peisong, the staff general of the Fenwu Camp, and asked: "General Luo, the Queen is not in Hangzhou Fucheng, why is the Beijing Camp here?
"
After hearing the inquiry, Luo Peisong clasped his fists and said: "Commander, the Queen said that the soldiers and horses in the city are not strong enough to resist, so she asked the general to stay behind to resist the Tatars."
When Jia Heng heard this, his expression changed and he said, "When did the Queen's fleet set off?"
Without the Beijing camp guards and only the Jinyi Mansion Guards and Internal Guards to protect her, Queen Song's security force was obviously much weaker.
Although Liu Jixian was there to protect him along the way, Chen Yuan must have set up an assassination plot. This protective force was weak and most likely he would take action.
"I have already left for Huzhou along the canal this morning." General Luo Peisong replied quickly.
Jia Heng's face was cold and he said in a deep voice: "The Jinyi Mansion has reported that there is a gangster spying on Feng Jia with the intention of assassinating him. He is here to follow the commander in pursuit of the fleet along the canal."
At this time, Liu Zhen, the governor of Zhejiang Province, was shocked when he heard this, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of worry in his heart, and said: "Duke Wei, how could an assassin want to assassinate Feng Jia?"
Jia Heng looked solemn and said: "Mr. Liu, I can't explain it in a few words. Jinyi Mansion had secret protection before. Now that the number of guards is reduced, I'm afraid that the thieves will take action. It's not good for me to stay here. This place will deal with the aftermath, and I will leave it to Beijing."
The camp and the Zhejiang side are in charge, and I will immediately lead my troops to protect the Queen."
There were only more than a thousand guards around Empress Song, who could not stop Chen Yuan's attack.
If something really went wrong, he would also be partly responsible.
Luo Peisong, the commander of the Jingying camp, changed his expression. He calmed down, clasped his fists and said, "Commander Jie, the navy of Jiangnan Daying has been running all the way. The veterans of the division are already tired. At the end of the day, the general is willing to lead his soldiers and horses to rush to the rescue with Commander Jie."
.”
Because this Beijing camp general was originally the Feng Jia who went south to protect Empress Song, once something unexpected happened to Empress Song and Prince Liang, he would be the first person responsible.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Assemble two thousand soldiers and horses and set off immediately with my commander."
As he said that, he looked at Liu Zhen, the governor of Zhejiang, and said: "The reinforcements from our Jiangnan Camp are already on their way, and the Jurchen Navy from Zhoushan is also fighting against the Jiangnan Camp. Mr. Liu doesn't have to worry about any more bandits coming to Hangzhou."
Attack, after this battle is over, I will ask the Holy Master for merit for Mr. Liu and the Zhejiang officials."
When Liu Zhen heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Duke Wei, I will definitely protect Zhejiang and prevent the Eastern captives from causing harm to Zhejiang."
Although Duke Wei was criticized by Jiangnan officials for the New Deal, he was regarded as a holy family member in front of the emperor. If he could get what he said, the emperor, the government and the public would definitely pay attention to him.
In fact, even if Jia Heng did not ask for credit, the Zhejiang Party would still strongly recommend this Zhejiang governor.
Jia Heng said, without saying anything else, he ate some solid food and drank some tea. After Luo Peisong, the general of the Beijing camp, had ordered all 2,000 people, he mounted his war horse and went straight to Empress Song's house without staying too much.
The fleet pursued him.
…
…
Let’s not talk about how Jia Heng went after Empress Song, but on the Zhoushan Island not far from Ningbo Prefecture——
After Hauge led the fleet to leave Zhoushan Island and entered Hangzhou Bay, Abatai led more than 5,000 Korean navy and nearly 1,000 Zhenglan bannermen to use existing coastal defenses on the island to resist the incoming Dong Qian.
And Shuiyu's pursuers.
At this moment, the two sides were already fighting.
"Boom!!!"
On the side of the ship, the roar of the red barbarian cannons resounded across the sea, and the cannons were fired. At this moment, gunpowder smoke filled the air.
Sand, soil and grass clippings were flying around on the shore of the island, while the Jurchen Eight Banners hid in the water fortress and fought back with difficulty using the Folan cannon left by Qianhu.
"Du Tong, the artillery fire of the Han people is too fierce." The Zhenglan Qigong leader on the side looked troubled and whispered to Abatai.
Abatai's dark face was livid, his tiger eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Let the brothers work harder to withstand the Han army. The Han people cannot keep bombarding them with artillery and blunderbuss. They will eventually enter the water village. Then
This is our chance to fight back!"
At this moment, Abatai also regretted abandoning the ship and boarded the island to fight with the Han army, but instead became a target.
But it was originally intended for Hauge's troops to contain the Han army. If they did not board the island, once they could not defeat the Han army with the Hongyi cannon on the warship, it would be impossible to contain and block it.
On the wooden deck of the official ship flying the flag with the Chinese character "Han", two generals, Shui Yu and Dong Qian, the former Jiangbei Daying Envoy, were wearing armor and watching the war on the island with a monocular telescope.
Under the extremely clear vision of the telescope, the water village on the coast of Zhoushan Island was blazing with fire. Under the bombardment of the Hongyi cannon, wood and rocks were flying randomly. The Jurchen bannermen did not dare to show their heads, but only dared to hide in the bunker in embarrassment.
Shui Yu said with emotion: "This Hongyi cannon is really a good thing. Not only is it extremely powerful in water battles, but it is also invincible in attacking cities and villages."
Dong Qian smiled and said: "General Shui, artillery and blunderbuss were originally the weapons of the military. In the future, bows and crossbows will gradually make way for artillery and blunderbuss."
From the time when the Hongyi artillery blasted and killed the captive chieftains, to today's spectacular naval battles, the Han army now knows the power of artillery and blunderbuss, and will definitely pay more attention to artillery and blunderbuss in the future.
"It's almost done. The Jurchens are in chaos. General Dong can go ashore and attack." Shui Yu said.
It is not easy to make artillery shells. After a round of shelling, it is time for a landing battle and close combat.
Dong Qian nodded, with a resolute look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Beat the drums, attack the water stronghold, and keep these Jurchens!"
Then, "dong dong..."
Accompanied by the sound of drums as dense as raindrops, the Han navy raised flags, held blunderbuss, and began to abandon the boat and land on the shore. They quickly approached the water stronghold and attacked Abatai's troops who were left behind.
"Whizzing!!!"
The crossbow arrows were shot out, almost like rain.
"Bang bang!"
The fire gun also lit the fuse, and in the smoke, it hit the Jurchen soldiers on the wooden frame of the water village, and screams and muffled groans could be heard from time to time.
Then a large number of Han troops landed on the island like a tide, and fought with the Jurchen bannermen holding sabers and the Korean navy.
The shouts of killing came one after another, and the lines of troops from both sides were intertwined. The red mandarin duck battle coats and blue bubble-studded cloth masks were almost like flames and sea water.
"Dangdang..."
The sound of clashing of weapons sounded, and a large number of Han troops rushed toward the island. There were more than ten thousand soldiers, and they were boundless and could not be seen to the end.
At this moment, on the sea six or seven miles away from Zhoushan Island, after traveling day and night, the main force of the Jiangnan Camp led by Chen Xiao gradually arrived at Zhoushan Island.
The warships, with their masts high and their sails raised, approached the island.
Chen Xiao was wearing chainmail and a wrought copper helmet, standing on the deck, holding a clairvoyant telescope in his hand and looking at the smoke-filled Zhoushan Island in the distance, his frosty jade face shrouded in coldness.
The Jurchens indeed launched a blocking attack on Zhoushan Island. If the guess was correct, Hauge should have led his troops towards Hangzhou.
"Princess, ahead is Zhoushan Island." Guo Liang, a Qianhu household in Jinyi Mansion, said.
Because Chen Xiao had already entered the palace to meet Emperor Chongping, the outside world might not know it, but the guards of the Jinyi Mansion knew the true identity of the Xiao Qianshi in front of him, who was Princess Le'an, the daughter of King Zhou.
Chen Xiao put down the telescope and said coldly: "Get close to Zhoushan Island quickly, surround the island, and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop."
As the Jinyi Mansion guard passed the order, the ship accelerated and rushed towards the Zhoushan Island.
The war on the island also reached a critical moment. Nearly a thousand elite soldiers from the Zhenglan Banner acted as the vanguard, followed by a large number of North Korean naval forces, and countercharged against the incoming Han army like a tide.
Six thousand against ten thousand, obviously there is no advantage in terms of strength, but because there are female true blue flag soldiers fighting to the death, they are evenly matched in a short period of time.
But Abatai has always been brave. At this moment, holding a bright saber, he led a group of soldiers into the Han army's array. The sword flashed sharply, and in an instant there was a bloody storm.
At this moment, Shui Yu also led his soldiers to the island and said coldly: "General Dong is holding the formation here, I will go and capture this beast!"
"General Shui, the enemy general is brave and brave. He seems to be a noble general of the Tatars. When he is exhausted, it will not be too late to surround him and kill him." Dong Qian said with a calm face.
This former five-city military commander, after several years of training and experience in the battles in northern Xinjiang and northwest China, has gradually gained some general bearing.
Hearing this, Shui Rong stopped insisting and waited patiently.
After all, he had not fought against a general for several years. Seeing how brave this Jurchen was, if he wanted to kill such a fierce general, it was best to let the soldiers kill him for a while.
At this moment, the Han army was fighting with crossbows and muskets against the Korean navy, divided into several groups, and divided and surrounded the soldiers and horses under Abatai.
At this moment, the sound of "dong dong" war drums suddenly came from the southeast, which was deafening and earth-shattering.
When Abatai saw this scene on the island, he couldn't help but feel confused.
Reinforcements from the Han army arrived.
But this panic did not last long, and they fell into fighting again.
But at this moment, the North Korean navy was in chaos. Faced with the superior force of the Han army, it gradually became exhausted.
One of the generals said loudly: "Brothers, don't help the Jurchens in the war. They treated us like dogs and killed Manager Cui. They also used us to cut off the rear and surrendered to the Han army!"
As soon as this statement came out, most of the North Korean naval forces were inspired by him to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Han army.
Dong Qian was overjoyed when he saw this scene and ordered: "The North Korean navy surrenders and avoids death!"
Suddenly, the surrounding Han troops roared in unison, which at this moment even overwhelmed the shouts of killing on the battlefield.
Like a chain reaction, many North Korean naval forces dropped their weapons and surrendered to the Han army.
For a time, only the Jurchen Blue Banners were left and began to resist the encirclement and killing of the Han army.
However, the Jurchens refused to retreat until their troops gradually decreased.
Seeing this critical scene, Abatai felt a little worried. He swung his knife to kill a Han army colonel and looked around.
On the entire battlefield, soldiers and horses holding weapons and weapons were seen fighting everywhere, but there were fewer and fewer Jurchens.
The tide is over!
These four words suddenly rang in Abate's mind.
Not long after, Chen Xiao led the soldiers of the Jiangnan Navy to land on Zhoushan Island. The war was coming to an end, and there was only sporadic resistance from the Jurchen bannermen.
The Korean navy surrendered one after another, and the Han army surrounded the Jurchen bannermen.
At this moment, Abatai was wielding a big sword and fighting with Shui Yu and the two generals who came to help.
He is worthy of being a fierce general since the founding of the Jurchen Kingdom. At this moment, facing the siege of several people, he becomes more and more courageous as he fights. The saber in his hand is weatherproof, and he even has the upper hand.
Dong Qian was supervising the formation at the rear, and everyone frowned as he watched.
How many powerful Jurchen generals are there?
On the other hand, among the great Han people, there are only a few outstanding men and women who are brave.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, Abatai was hit by an arrow in the leg, bleeding profusely, and his actions were immediately affected.
Shui Yu snorted coldly, and slashed towards Abatai with his long sword. Abatai raised his weapon to resist, but at this moment, Shui Yu's sword flashed and slashed towards Abatai's neck.
"Pfft!"
The blood was like a fountain, and the head soared into the sky and fell to the ground. His eyes were glaring, but he still refused to rest in peace.
The surrounding Jurchen bannermen who were resisting were also surrounded and suppressed by the Han army, and finally collapsed. Many of them abandoned their weapons and begged for surrender.
Shui Yu's cheeks were flushed at this moment, and his expression was extremely joyful.
At this moment, Dong Qian also welcomed Chen Xiao and others to the shore, cupped his hands and said: "Princess, why don't you see Commander-in-Chief?"
"Jie Shuai has led his light cavalry to Hangzhou Prefecture to rush for reinforcements." Chen Xiao pressed the Yanling Saber on his waist and said softly with a calm expression: "After a short rest, I will go to Hangzhou Bay to respond."
She was still a little worried about him.
Dong Qian accepted the order, and then ordered the soldiers and horses of the Jiangnan camp to clean the battlefield and count the casualties.
In this battle, the Jurchens surrounded Yubeil Abatai and killed 782 Jurchen blue bannermen. The Korean Navy also killed 1,125 people, and the rest surrendered to the Han army.
The Han army once again achieved a brilliant victory.
After Chen Xiao led the Jiangnan Navy to rest for a while, he boarded the ship again without delay and sailed to Hangzhou Bay to rescue Jia Heng.
…
…
The story is divided into two parts, but it is said that after Hauge was defeated in the city of Hangzhou, he led his soldiers to escape towards the vast sea.
At this moment, on the boat——
Hauge had already called a doctor to treat him. Prince Su of the Qing Dynasty was pale, biting a towel in his mouth, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans were oozing out from his forehead. It was obvious that the pain from a broken arm had caused this man to suffer.
The Jurchen Prince was in a trance.
The doctor on the side re-bandaged Hauge, and then washed the blood on his hands in the basin handed over by the young apprentice.
Zha He, the Zhenglan flag ginseng leader on the side, said: "Doctor, how is the prince?"
The doctor sighed and said: "Your Majesty has lost too much blood. If you don't have a fever later, it should be no big deal. If you do get a fever... I'll prescribe some medicine for your Majesty and we'll see."
This kind of broken arm injury cannot be sutured, so it can only be wrapped tightly, and then the wound medicine and herbal medicine are applied. Then it depends on the physical constitution and willpower of the injured person. If he can resist it, if the infection and fever cannot be resisted,
It's a dead end.
After a while, Hauge spit out the towel in his mouth and said in a weak voice: "Zhahe, where are you going now? But to Zhoushan?"
"Your Majesty, it's impossible to go to Zhoushan. Let's rush back to North Korea now. This battle cannot be fought." Zhahe said in a low voice.
Hauge's face turned pale and he didn't speak for a long time.
He also knew rationally that Abatai, who was left on Zhoushan Island, was already in serious danger, and he had lost his troops and generals at the moment. How could he return to Shengjing?
How would the Dorgon brothers view him?
The dual regents, the restoration of the Qing Dynasty and the imperial hegemony may all be in vain.
Hauge's face was pale, his eyes were in a trance, and a wave of resentment welled up in his heart.
Jia Heng's son deserves to die! He Hao Ge vows to avenge this broken arm!
Perhaps he thought deeply, and Hauge felt a wave of fatigue coming over him, his eyelids became heavy, and he fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, the ship was carrying hundreds of Jurchen bannermen and four to five thousand North Korean navy troops, and was heading towards North Korea.
When he led more than 50,000 soldiers to the south, he was so high-spirited, but now he fled back in a hurry.
On the canal——
Several ships escorted a large ship and headed quickly along the canal towards Huzhou.
On the cabin on the second floor of the building, the beauty was wearing a light yellow dress, looking at the winding mountain scenery on both sides of the strait. Under her bright forehead, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her fair-skinned face was covered with a layer of
The lingering sadness.
Empress Song turned around, looked at the female official, and asked: "Is there any news from Hangzhou Mansion?"
The female official said: "Go back to your Majesty, there is no news yet."
Queen Song sighed and sat back in the cabin again.
Liang Wang Chen Wei looked worried and said in a clear voice: "Mother, I am afraid that the city of Hangzhou will be destroyed. The Jurchens are as ferocious as wolves. Once the city is massacred, it will be terrible."
Empress Song said softly: "No, there are many soldiers and horses in Hangzhou City, they will definitely be able to stop it, and Ziyu will definitely send troops to help."
"The queen mother also mentioned that Jia Ziyu. If he had the ability, he would not have let the Jurchen soldiers and horses rush to Hangzhou Fucheng, putting my uncle and grandpa in danger now." Liang Wang Chen Wei said angrily.
Empress Song frowned slightly, her face was cold, and she sighed quietly in her heart.
If the city is destroyed and the lives of both his father and his third brother are in danger, then how could the little fox have been so resourceful...
Seeing that Queen Song did not reprimand him as usual, Chen Wei also let go of his courage and said coldly: "Why don't you leave more troops in Hangzhou Fucheng? Doesn't he know that the queen mother is going to return to Hangzhou Fucheng? Even if the queen mother does not go back to Hangzhou Fucheng to visit relatives,
We can’t transfer all the Hangzhou guards.”
Chen Wei's sinister face was full of anger, and he said coldly: "Queen Mother, I think this Jia Ziyu has made great achievements and has become more arrogant. Now he is missing a move, giving the Jurchens an opportunity to take advantage of him."
"That's enough." Empress Song frowned, her jade face was covered with frost, and her red lips were slightly parted as she scolded in a cold voice.
When Chen Wei heard this, his face turned pale and he quickly lowered his head, feeling even more angry.
Because of that Jia Ziyu, the queen mother had scolded him many times.
Under the willow eyebrows of the Empress of the Song Dynasty, her beautiful eyes exuding a maternal charm were somewhat cold. She was originally a graceful and gorgeous beauty, and she had always shown herself to others with gentleness. At this moment, she became a little more cold and charming. She said: "The public troops of the Wei Kingdom have always been planned and then moved."
, I previously informed the Hangzhou government before the arrival of the Jurchen soldiers and horses, so that they can respond as soon as possible. You must never say such words in the future."
"Where is Hangzhou Mansion?" Liang Wang Chen Wei asked anxiously.
Empress Song said softly: "Wait for the news, you can go out, the queen is a little tired."
As she spoke, the beauty held her forehead with one hand and waved a slender hand. Her face was quiet and bright, while the emerald earrings on her petite and exquisite earlobes swayed gently, and her beautiful neck became more and more white as snow, like pear blossoms.
When Liang Wang Chen Wei heard this, he did not dare to say anything else. He bowed his hands to the Empress of Song Dynasty and said, "Mother, I hope you have a good rest. I will retire."
With that said, he turned around and left the cabin.
At this moment, a female official entered from the outer cabin and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have passed Huzhou ahead, and there is Taihu Lake in front of me. Are you still staying in Huzhou?"
Empress Song raised her head, and under the golden hairpin with fringed hairpins, a look of thought appeared on her graceful and beautiful face, and she said softly: "No need to stop, let's go to Jinling as soon as possible."
At this moment, I was very upset and wanted to go back to Jinling early to reunite with Xianning and Chanyue.
Moreover, this place is still quite close to Hangzhou Prefecture. If Hangzhou Prefecture is really captured, and the Tatars learn that she is in Huzhou, they will think that they have a rare treasure to live in, and they may still pursue her.
When the female officer heard this, she turned around and left the boat, and ordered the sailors to launch the boat.
Looking from the outside, it is already evening. The sky is full of sunset, as bright as brocade clouds, and it shines on the lake. In winter, it is quite a bit like half river and half river red.
Queen Song was sitting on the bed, feeling something in her heart. She looked out the window at the setting sun. She got up and came to the window again, looking at the lake and mountains. She felt that the depression in her heart seemed to be slightly dissipated.
Queen Song looked into the distance and exhaled a deep breath. The moon under her clothes seemed to tremble, and her pink lips pursed.
Since Ziyu reminded the Hangzhou government, they should rush to help in time.
The beauty murmured in her heart.
When Queen Song's fleet entered Taihu Lake from the canal, although the sight suddenly opened up and the world was vast, there were some reed marshes and islands on both sides of the bank. Suddenly, the wind blew, and shadows were blurred in the reed marshes, and human figures were vaguely visible.
