[Volume Two] Chapter Seventy-Three: Soldiers at Jiankang
【Volume 2】Chapter 73 The army is approaching and Jiankang is established
Jiankang Prefecture was established in the early Southern Song Dynasty. It was an important town in the southeast. It was once the capital of Lin'an and an important military and political center after Lin'an. People at that time said: "The foundation of the country is in the southeast, and the foundation of the southeast is Jiankang. Xiongshan is
The city, with the Yangtze River as a pond, was transported by boats, carts and waterways, and several roads converged to form what is now Guanzhong and Hanoi."
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiankang Prefecture had 250,000 residents and was an important commercial city. It was located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and was an economic hub for commodity exchange, linking the purchase and sale of products in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the Huaihe River Basin, Taihu Lake, and the Qiantang River. Jiankang Prefecture was an important commercial city.
Kang had close commercial contacts with the capital Lin'an, and the market prosperity was slightly less prosperous than Lin'an.
"In order to ensure the transfer of strategic materials, health cannot be lost. At least it cannot be thrown away like eggs in other places. It must be thrown away like iron thorns. Even if the Mongols get it, they must prick it with blood!"
After Li Quancheng learned about the importance of Jiankang Prefecture, he immediately made this decision. However, the Mongolian army was said to be 300,000, and the defenders of Jiankang Prefecture only numbered 50,000. Even if they relied on the city to resist, it would only take ten and a half months to defeat them.
The game is about to be finished, but the Chu family waterway and the north-south water transport have only transported materials once. The material transfer of the imperial shipping department has just started, and that is far from enough!
"Brother Quancheng, I will leave Jiankang as I am and promise to stay in Jiankang City for half a year!"
This was the first time Lu Xiufu expressed his opinion since he decided to make a strategic retreat. Seeing Lu Xiufu's firm eyes, Li Quancheng knew that this guy was still adhering to his ideas, so he naturally would not agree to him. It wasn't that he didn't believe Lu Xiufu, but that he was too
I believe Lu Xiufu, if he sticks to it for half a year, this guy will definitely live and die with Jiankang City in the end.
"Brother Lu can't go. You are the main leaders of the strategic shift. You all can't go. I'm going!"
They were originally grand words and deeds, but Li Quancheng's words were full of bitterness, and he said with a sad face: "You must hurry up, I can't guarantee that you will stay healthy for half a year!"
Yang Liangjie really thought that Li Quancheng was a weirdo, saying that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but he took the initiative to go to the front lines of Song and Meng to fight, saying that he was brave and fearless, and started to say that he had failed before he even set off. However, Yang Yuer looked at Li Quancheng with blank eyes.
After a while, he confirmed that Li Quancheng was really afraid, but also really determined to get healthy. He couldn't help but sigh: "Master Li is afraid of death but not afraid of death. This is a true temperament and a true warrior!"
Li Quancheng's heart suddenly started to stir slightly, but this guy also knew his priorities clearly and said to the soldiers: "Let Baiyi, Yingying, Lu Wenhuan, Yue Yin, Dou Wen and others come here, I have something to arrange!"
Li Quancheng went out, and Lu Wenhuan and others followed him. After a while, the soldiers led them over. Li Quancheng didn't ask any questions and said directly: "Elder brother Bai Yi and Dou Wen, please go with the gold medal and official documents."
Move troops along Jiangnan East Road and divide them into two groups, one to attack the Mongolian vanguard from the southeast, and the other to block the Mongolian army's follow-up reinforcements!"
Dou Wen and others didn't know why Li Quancheng suddenly had a few more senior brothers and sisters, but they had seen their martial arts. They were indeed unpredictable, but being strong in martial arts did not mean being powerful in leading troops in battles. Li Quancheng said this,
Lu Wenhuan, Dou Wen and others all frowned.
Li Quancheng saw it clearly. After a second thought, he said: "If Senior Brother Bai is not good at leading troops, he must discuss with the local generals and make good use of the terrain and timing. Remember not to fight head-on with the Mongols and use harassment and sneak attacks as a means of attack."
Best idea!"
Bai Yi's face became solemn and he said: "Don't worry, Sir, Bai Yi will save you!"
"Brother Shadow and General Yue Yin took the gold medal and documents to Huainan West Road. Their mission is the same as that of Bai Yi and Dou Wen, which is to block the enemy's advance and attack the enemy's forward!"
Yingying and Yue Yin also took orders. Li Quancheng said the same thing to Yingying, then looked at Yang Liangjie, Lu Xiufu and others, and said: "General Lu is good at defending the city, so he went with me to Jiankang City to help defend the city.
Second Senior Brother and Senior Sister Xiao are accompanying us to sort out surveillance information!”….
After the arrangements were made, Yue Yin suddenly said: "Sir, there are Song Ting's cavalry on Huai'an West Road and Jiangnan East Road. They are not large in number and have first-class combat capabilities. You may be able to use them!"
Li Quancheng's heart trembled, and he took a deep look at Yue Yin. Yueying, who was wearing a grimace mask, did not look at Li Quancheng. Li Quancheng suddenly smiled and said: "This is a good thing. The Song Ting Cavalry on Huai'an West Road will be here."
You go and second them. As for the Song Ting cavalry on Jiangnan East Road, Zhao Bei will second them. As for the result, just borrow them if they lend them. If they don't lend you, don't delay."
After a pause, Li Quancheng said meaningfully: "I need assistants like you, and the Song Dynasty needs generals like you!"
"Everyone remember, everything we do is to delay the Mongolian army's move south and buy time for our transfer. Everyone must come back alive. After the retreat is successful, we still have a lot to do. Don't waste your lives on
On the temporary battlefield!”
"As you command!"
Li Quancheng and others divided their troops into three groups. Before leaving, they told Yang Liangjie, Lu Xiufu and others to speed up the transfer of supplies and people. From Yang Yuer's words, "Master Li is afraid of death but not afraid of death. This is his true temperament and a true warrior."
!" After that, everyone's impression of Li Quancheng changed completely. A legendary awe quietly took root in their hearts. Therefore, everyone fully agreed to Li Quancheng's instructions.
Yang Liangjie said solemnly: "As the commander-in-chief, Mr. Li personally went to the front lines of the battlefield for this plan. I am waiting here in the safe rear. If I don't do anything again, I will really be ashamed of the world!"
"Liang Jie is right. I am content with the rebellion. Now is an extraordinary period. I will go to Jiankang with Mr. Li to express my determination of the Song Dynasty court to resist the Yuan Dynasty!"
Hearing Yang Yue'er's words, Li Quancheng felt happy and blurted out: "This is a great kindness!"
At the same time, other people said in unison: "Concubine Shu, you must not do this!"
Two completely opposite statements sounded at the same time, creating a resonance, and there was a strange silence in the room. Li Quancheng felt embarrassed when he saw everyone else objecting in unison, and secretly cursed himself for being too impatient. At least he had to wait for Yang Yue'er herself first.
Just hold on to yourself before speaking, that way your words will have weight!
Li Quancheng was quite thick-skinned. After the embarrassment, he said calmly: "What you all said makes sense. Your Majesty has a noble status, so you cannot put yourself in danger. It's okay if you don't go!"
Seeing what Li Quancheng said, Yang Liangjie rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled: "But what the empress said is not unreasonable. The empress put herself in danger and advanced and retreated with the Jiankang soldiers and civilians, which will definitely greatly inspire the soldiers and civilians to resist the invasion of the Mongolian army."
!”
Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't figure out what was going on. Why did they both change their tune so quickly?
These people have been crawling around in the court for so many years, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. Now they all have a tacit understanding not to say a word and wait for the follow-up development. Yang Yue'er originally planned to persist, but when she saw Yang Liangjie, she suddenly
After agreeing to go to Jiankang by himself, he couldn't help but look at Yang Liangjie with suspicion, wondering what this guy was up to.
Yang Liangjie met Yang Yue'er's suspicious gaze without changing his expression, talking and laughing calmly and said: "Now that the country is about to die, as the mother of the country, I naturally have to show something. I believe Master Li will protect your empress!"
"Really? Mr. Li?"
Yang Liangjie stared at Li Quancheng with his pure eyes. Li Quancheng felt more and more that Yang Liangjie was really hiding something. He was so obscene that he returned to his original nature. But what was Yang Yue'er's status in the palace? Why did Yang Liangjie give him so many times?
Create opportunities, as if he is determined to make something happen between himself and his sister before he is willing to do so?….
Is it possible that this guy has a quirk that likes to be his brother-in-law? Or is he attracted by his infinite charm? Or maybe he has a bright future and this guy is paving the way for him as soon as possible? But that's not the case. Li Quancheng can't figure it out, and there is no time.
Not allowing him to think too much, he couldn't help but praise with a pure smile: "Uncle Yang is so upright and upright, he is really a role model for our generation!"
Li Quancheng bit the word "uncle" so hard that others couldn't hear the connotation, but Yang Liangjie heard the connotation. He couldn't help but blush, laughed dryly, and said: "Master Li is not afraid in the face of danger. This is really worth learning from us."
What a noble character!"
The two shamelessly complimented each other, but only they knew the true meaning. In the end, Yang Yue'er followed Li Quancheng on the road to Jiankang.
When boarding the ship, I suddenly saw a group of people galloping towards me. There were probably more than a thousand people. From a distance I heard them shouting in unison, "Master Li, stay!"
Li Quancheng was stunned and stopped. The leader was Fang Xiaohua. When Fang Xiaohua came closer, Li Quancheng laughed loudly and said, "Commander Fang, what can I do?"
Fang Xiaohua dismounted, and more than a thousand forbidden troops behind him also made a swish sound. They all dismounted, bowed their heads, and Fang Xiaohua shouted loudly: "Fang Xiaohua, the commander of the forbidden troops of Xuanwu Camp, led his troops and asked to follow you to Jiankang Mansion!"
More than a thousand forbidden troops behind them shouted in unison: "Please fight - please fight - please fight!"
The sound was like thunder, attracting the attention of countless people at the dock. When they learned that the imperial court had changed the prime minister, Jia Sidao was thrown into death row, and the new prime minister Li Quancheng was going to Jiankang City with Concubine Shu to fight the Mongolian army. Thousands of people were on horseback.
The people suddenly cheered, and the imperial guards shouted for a fight. Everyone shouted for a fight, and the sound spread farther and farther, until the whole Lin'an City was boiling.
Once the bloody nature of the Han people is aroused, it is enough to change the color of the mountains and rivers! In the imperial city of Lin'an City, the Queen Mother Xie hugged the young emperor and looked at the hundreds of thousands of people in Lin'an City shouting for war. She couldn't help but sigh: "The Song Dynasty was blessed to have Li Quancheng
, it is the blessing of the emperor!"
Emperor Gong of the Song Dynasty flushed with excitement, clapped his hands and said: "Since Prime Minister Li is the blessing of the Song Dynasty, then I will make Prime Minister Li the emperor, so that the people of the Song Dynasty will be blessed forever!"
After hearing this, Queen Mother Xie's expression changed, and she and Queen Mother Quan looked at each other, with uneasiness in each other's eyes.
In October of the first year of Jingyan in the Southern Song Dynasty and the thirteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, after the Mongolian army occupied Xiangfan, they advanced by land and water, approaching Jiankang Prefecture, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Li Quancheng, Lu Wenhuan and others led a thousand forbidden troops belonging to Fang Xiaohua to march on
On the road to Jiankang in the north.

[Volume 3] History still fights against Yashan
I have reached the third volume, and I have unknowingly written more than 400,000 words. I also know that [Southern Song Dynasty] rushed to the Potala Palace to worship, but I rushed away. At least you are still watching [Southern Song Dynasty]
】No? But it’s really embarrassing for everyone... I know that this book is very poorly written. Looking back, I feel terrible. So for the new book I am preparing now, I am doing my best to prepare the information and ponder the language. I hope it will be published next time.
One can make some progress.
I have never described the battle between the two armies, but it is inevitable to write about such war scenes when writing history. Therefore, in the third volume of [Southern Song Dynasty], I will write seriously about the war scenes that I am not good at writing. The less I know how to write, the more serious I have to be. Only in this way can I
There's some progress.
Thank you for accompanying me all the way...ahem...let's keep going...
