The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Just three days after the capital navy arrived in Qingzhou, another twenty ships of various shapes and sizes arrived at Zhang Jun's garrison.

These twenty ships are not as big as the warships of the Capital Navy, and they look different from old to new.

But they are all big enough. At first glance, they look like cargo ships used for water transportation. However, the cabins have been slightly adjusted, and many portholes have been opened on both sides of the hull.

Cao Yanchang smiled and said: "You don't need to consider ventilation when transporting goods, but you have to consider transporting troops. From Qingzhou, go to the sea to the Duck River (renamed Songhua River in the Ming Dynasty), then follow the river to the intersection of the Duck River and the Ash River, and go ashore. After traveling thirty miles, we will reach Huining Mansion. This journey will take seven or eight days, so we can't hold our breath."

Zhang Jun finally understood why he was sent to Qingzhou four months ago.

Before the first Kaifeng defense battle, before Zhao Fujin ascended the throne, Emperor Daojun ordered the troops of King Qin from all over the country to rush to Kaifeng to support him. Although the Qingzhou soldiers were only Xiang troops, they also obeyed King Qin's orders.

After Zhao Fujin ascended the throne and defeated Wanyan Zongwang at Moutuogang, these Qinwang troops were not transferred again. Under the arrangements of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, they were stationed outside Kaifeng City.

Later, Han Shizhong took over as the Minister of War and cleaned up the Xiang army. He sent some old and weak soldiers to Yao Pingzhong to dig coal. The remaining Xiang army also changed their guns and generals. It was at this time that Zhang Jun took over this group of young men. The state soldiers have been practicing continuously over the past year, and their combat effectiveness has been significantly improved.

I originally wanted to make contributions during the second Kaifeng defense war, but before the war started, I was transferred back to Qingzhou.

At that time, Zhang Jun didn't understand. Isn't this a disease?

Now that I think about it again, I understand the deep meaning of the official family.

One: After the first defense of Kaifeng, we did not return troops to various places. We did not want to rely on these incompetent Xiang troops to defend Kaifeng. We just wanted to change the blood of these Xiang troops under our noses, so as to prevent them from being emperors. Far away, giving birth to a different story.

By beheading Fan Qiong, the original Xiang army generals were purged in one wave.These Xiang troops don't dare to rebel. First, they don't trust each other. If you want to rebel, what if others from other places don't want to rebel?Second, these Xiang troops are just outside Kaifeng City. There is a Central Forbidden Army in the city. How dare they resist?They don't even need to send troops, they will wipe out themselves as soon as the city gate is opened.

Second: The main composition of the team Zhang Jun took over was composed of Qingzhou soldiers. Later, after cleaning up a wave of old and weak soldiers, some people were transferred from the Jingzhou army, and this formed the current team. The team didn’t understand it before, but now it’s very clear.

Both the original Qingzhou soldiers and the newly added Jingzhou soldiers are close to the sea, rivers, and lakes, and their water quality is not bad.

They were transferred to Qingzhou. I didn’t know why before, but now it’s obvious that they are going to take the water route and make a surprise attack on Huining Mansion!
Zhang Jun spread out the map and looked particularly excited: "Wonderful! Wonderful! The official layout is far-reaching, look at it!"

Zhang Jun clicked on Huining Mansion, and then on Yan and Yun capitals: "The Jin army deployed defenses, mostly at the border. At this time, we went straight to Huining Mansion, which was the weakest in defense. If Yan and Yun returned to rescue troops, , Wu Jie’s troops can take Yanyun and the two capitals. If they don’t return to rescue, then the Emperor of Jin will be ours, hahaha!”

After hearing this, Cao Yanchang smiled awkwardly and said: "This is indeed how the battle should be fought, but...but the officials have made it clear that the Huining Mansion will not be taken."

Zhang Jun was stunned: "Not taking Huining Mansion? Then what...what are we going to do?"

Cao Yanchang waved to Gao Chong, who was hiding aside and drinking tea: "General Gao, what do the officials say?"

Gao Chong always didn't like to get involved in these military drills. He put his legs on the chair and chewed melon seeds while saying, "Mother Jin said, just show off your muscles."

"Yes, yes, the official said, show off your muscles." Cao Yanchang said with a smile.

Zhang Jun obviously didn't understand what this meant. What does showing off muscles mean?

Cao Yanchang explained: "I didn't understand it at the time. The official explained that he just wanted Wanyan Sheng to take a look. I was a little worried."

"Hum, can General Cao speak properly? What is the number?"

Gao Chong chuckled and translated: "Let Wanyan Sheng know that we can take it from Huining Mansion whenever we want. If we don't take it now, we will give him shame. If he is shameless, then slap him in the face!"

"Courtesy first, then attack?" Zhang Jun finally understood. "That's understandable." Cao Yanchang smiled helplessly.

Zhang Jun sighed softly: "Is all official talk so... so obscure?"

Although Cao Yanchang had met Zhao Fujin, he was not a popular person around him, so he could only look at Gao Chong again.

Gao Chong stood up: "Well, just get used to it. That's why Mother Jin likes smart people."

Zhang Jun secretly remembered it in his heart and muttered: "Like smart people? That's me..."

Gao Chong came to the big case and nodded at the table: "Jin Ma also told me one more thing. This time I went to Huining Mansion, I have to help a group of second princes, Wanyan Zongwang, just listen to my arrangements."

Zhang Jun didn't dare to say anything, he said with a smile on his face: "It's all up to General Gao's arrangement!"

After that, he looked at Cao Yanchang: "Tongzhi Cao, there are so many ships in the capital navy now? I remember that there were only ten ships in Jinming Pool before? Why are there so many this time?"

Cao Yanchang smiled and said: "I only brought ten ships. The remaining twenty ships were brought by the officials from Hangzhou to Prince Kang and Qin Hui to transport troops for you."

"Ouch..." Zhang Jun immediately turned to the west and bowed deeply in the direction of Kaifeng: "Thank you so much!"

……

……

The journey from Qingzhou to the sea was calm and calm, and there was nothing to be afraid of when sailing along the offshore coast.

Go upstream from the mouth of the sea, through the Duck River, to the Ash River.

Along the way, although the thirty boats had already withdrawn from the Song flag, they also caused quite a commotion on both sides of the river. Although the Jin people also rowed boats in the river, the boats they used were very small. Where have I seen so many? , and such a large fleet.

But the commotion was a commotion, and the curiosity was curiosity, but no one took it seriously and reported it to the police. They just thought it was some big shot in the court showing off his power.

As a result, thirty ships had been docked at the Ash River for a long time before anyone came to question them.

On the nearest ship, several people dressed as merchants got off and negotiated with the Jin officials who came to interrogate: "The Song Dynasty court said that the Song and Jin countries have reached an alliance and can trade. We are here to do business." of."

In the past, even if these Jin officials would not take people directly, they would at least board the ship for interrogation. However, the Song-Jin peace talks have been the most hotly discussed event in the court recently. Coupled with the defeat in the Battle of Kaifeng, These petty officials didn't dare to mess with the Song people. If they didn't handle it well and gave the Song army an excuse to go north, they couldn't afford it.

After much thought, I decided to go back and report first to see what the big bosses above had to say.

In Zongwang's house in Huining Mansion, Wanyan Zongwang, who had received Zhao Fujin's reply in advance, was looking at the porcelain bottle on the table in a daze. The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt: "Does Zhao Fujin have some magical powers?"

A year ago, this bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water was given to me, saying it was life-saving.

A year later, it really saved his life.

If this isn't the supernatural power of a prophet, what is it?
"What a wonderful woman! I, Zong Wang, owe her my life. I have to pay her back in this life!" (End of Chapter)
