The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 528

"Wang Jian." Everyone listened.Everyone was taken aback.I only heard Fan Zhishang continue to say: "Master Wuming lived to be 98 years old. He only accepted two lay disciples in his life. One was General Wang Jian back then. The other was Fan Liangfu, the grandson of his subordinate. About a year and a half ago. The master died without any illness. Just before he passed away, he specially asked the novice monk to recruit his subordinate He Liangfu to the temple. He said, "If you join the army, Liangfu will surely make great achievements." At that time, the subordinates were quite puzzled. Dengzhou at that time. It was still under the rule of the Mongols. My Fan family is from the Song Dynasty. I would never do anything for the Mongols. Although I had doubts, I didn’t have time to ask them carefully. After the master finished speaking, he smiled And go. Looking back now, it turned out that it was fulfilled in the Emperor’s Northern Expedition.”

Wang Jian's achievements are well known.He made great contributions to the Second Song-Mongolia War.Kaiqing first year.Mongolian Khan Mengge personally led an army to besiege Hezhou.Wang Jian and his deputy Zhang Jue defended Diaoyu City.Repelled the Mongolian army many times.Without any choice.Mengge Khan sent Jin Guobao into Diaoyu City to surrender.Killed by Wang Jian.The Mongolian army continued to attack in September.Moreover, Great Khan Mengge was also hit by the whirlwind artillery of the Song army defending the city.He was seriously injured and died. "Jiang uses the fish platform as a pillar to support half the wall".This is the Song people's evaluation of Wang Jian.

"So there is such an experience. That is to say. Fan Liangfu is the younger brother of General Wang Jian." I nodded.laughed. "Fan Liangfu. Then you go to the county government office with me. Later. I will test you."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

Dengzhou county government office is dilapidated.Perhaps it is because it has been at the forefront of the war.Whether it is Song, Jin, or Mongolia.Neither was refurbished or rebuilt.

Lu Wenhuan sighed: "Your Majesty, Dengzhou has been recovered now. Do you need to reorganize the county government?"

"The county government office can be rebuilt. But it must be after the people live and work in peace and contentment. 'Happiness in the world after tomorrow'. This is not a slogan. It is the duty of officials." I suddenly thought of those magnificent government offices in later generations The building and the dilapidated and dilapidated school building in stark contrast.To Fan Zhi Shangdao. "Fan Aiqing. One day, when the environment of all the schools in Dengzhou County is improved, you can renovate the county government. And the county government should not be more luxurious than the school. This is not just my request for your Dengzhou county government. All of us Local governments within the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty must do this."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The last general (subordinate) is also taught." Lu Wenhuan and Fan Zhishang replied in unison.

About half an hour later.Fan Zhishang and Wang Qian left Dengzhou County Yamen.Visit one by one.Let them live with peace of mind.For safety reasons.I specially asked Shen Mo to take ten personal guards with him for protection.

In the lobby of the county government.I said to Fan Liangfu, "Fan Liangfu. You studied under an unknown monk. I don't know what you learned."

Fan Liangfu said confidently: "Go back to the emperor. The grassroots have been learning from their teachers since they were ten years old. Swords, spears and sticks. Swords, halberds, bows and horses. The art of war and strategy. Marching and deploying. They have all learned them one by one."

"That's good. I'll test your martial arts first. Quanyi. You go and try it. Stop it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Quanyi unsheathed his long sword.Come to the central road in the lobby. "This is Zhang Quanyi. Brother Fan. Please."

"Brother Zhang. Please advise." Fan Liangfu pinched his sword formula.returned the salute.

The county government hall is not big.The two swords intersected.Fight close.Fan Liangfu was calm.Every move is thick and thick.But not clumsy.Zhang Quanyi's sword moves lightly.False and real.The two are about the same age.The skill knows the enemy.The straight fights were evenly matched.

Yuan Ji looked at it and said to me: "Your Majesty, this Fan Liangfu's move is simple. There is not much fancy. It gives people a feeling of great wisdom and stupidity. It really is Buddhist Kungfu. And the experience of facing the enemy is also very rich. Not bad. very nice."

The speed of the two is not very fast.In addition, Yuan Ji explained from the side.I can more or less see the clues.

Mutual exchange.How lively.

After sixty rounds.Zhang Quanyi suddenly changed his sword technique.Performed a sword-hanging style in Tai Chi swordsmanship.Hair on the waist.Then through the shoulder to the arm and then through to the wrist.Draw several circles in a row.Lead Fan Liangfu to a side.There was a trace of flaw in his steps.Zhang Quanyi saw this.Without hesitation.Loosen your waist.It is another move to cut the sword.Footwork, technique and waist rotation are in harmony.This sword-cutting pose also uses the strength of the waist to drive the strength of the arms.Wrist force.A horizontal sword stabs out.

Fan Liangfu's moves are old.Naturally, he couldn't stop this sword-slashing move.Had to take a step back.Immediately, his face turned red and he said, "Brother Zhang. I lost."

"Assignment."

"Haha." Yuan Ji laughed. "Mr. Fan. With your martial arts, you should be fine within Lily. It's just that you have never seen Junbao's Taiji swordsmanship before. That's why you lost this way."

"Taiji swordsmanship." Fan Liangfu secretly thought about the swordsmanship he knew.But also to no avail.

"Okay. There are not many people who can fight Lily with Quanyi. I passed the martial arts test. I am very satisfied. Fan Liangfu. Next, I will test your military strategy."

Fan Liangfu looked at Zhang Quanyi who was about the same age as him.A little discouraged, he said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Report."

At this time.Only the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.Afterwards, Wu Songhan and Gongsun Xiaochen said inwardly: "Your Majesty, I just received the news from the scouts. The Mongolian cavalry set fire to the ferry bridge near Wadian Town."

"Burning the bridge." I said in a daze. "That is to say. If our army wants to send troops to Nanyang quickly, the only way is to go through Liaohe Town in the north."

Gongsun Xiaochen said: "Yes, Your Majesty. Exactly."

I thought for a while and said, "Ashu and Boyan's move does not give our army a choice. Could it be that Ashu has a good strategy. Fighting with our army's firearms in the wild. Lu Aiqing, pass on my will .Let all the generals come here for a meeting. Discuss the next action plan."

Lu Wenhuan said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Fan Liangfu. You also listen to the current situation. After the meeting is over, I will test you again."

"Yes. Your Majesty. The grassroots obey the order."

at the meeting.The generals each expressed their views.Most agree.Even in the wilderness.Our army is not afraid of the Mongolian cavalry.Just prepare well in advance.Artillery bombardment.The muskets fired.Plus throwing bombs.It is absolutely possible to kill the Mongolian cavalry before attacking our army.

Jiang Wanzai, who seldom spoke, said after everyone finished speaking: "Your Majesty, generals. What if the Mongolian cavalry besieged and did not attack."

I didn't understand for a moment: "Jiang Aiqing. What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, our army's firearms are suitable for positional warfare. What I mean is that if the Yuan army does not attack, it will just surround us on the marching road and force us to attack first. And they will use our weak points Action. There may be a chance to break through our army's position. Although our army's artillery is sharp, its number is limited. It cannot take into account the surroundings. The Yuan army has roughly the same number as our army. Even if its infantry is not counted. Only [-] cavalry It will be possible to break a little bit first, and then break one side." Jiang Wanzai said with some worry. "Your Majesty, our army's plan in advance was to build trenches to gain time for artillery preparation, and then use musket throwing bullets to destroy the rushing Mongolian cavalry. But if our army strikes first, it will fall into a passive situation instead."

"I didn't think of that." I nodded. "Jiang Aiqing. You reminded me very well. Generals. If such a situation arises, how should our army respond."

Gongsun Xiaochen and Tian Xiuyan looked at each other.He said: "Your Majesty, the enemy will not move, and our army will not move either."

I shook my head and said: "Not right. Our army is surrounded by the enemy. If there is a stalemate between the two sides, the Mongolian cavalry archers only need to harass our army with feather arrows at night. Our army is difficult to deal with. The enemy's cavalry is flexible. Our artillery is relatively cumbersome. At a long distance, archers can shoot at our army in the form of projectiles. Our army's location is fixed. And it is impossible to build fortifications. It is bound to become Yuan The target of the army. The Yuan army is mobile. It is night again. It is difficult for our army's musketeers to capture the target."

Time passed bit by bit.Everyone, let me know what you said.After repeated discussions.Still unable to satisfactorily solve the question raised by Jiang Wanzai.But this situation is not impossible.Both A Shu and Boyan are famous generals in the world.Once in that stalemate.Our army can only engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Yuan army.Although in terms of the current combat effectiveness of our army.Not afraid.But the advantages of our military firearms will disappear.The biggest possibility is that both sides will suffer.

Of course I will not accept such a result. "Fan Liangfu." I suddenly called out.

"Ah. The grass people are here."

"You are familiar with the terrain in this area. Do you think there is any way for our army to pass smoothly. It will reach Nanyang directly."

"This. This..." Fan Liangfu hesitated.It seems very stiff.I don't know how to answer.

"Fan Liangfu. Don't be nervous." I said with a smile. "From today's meeting, you should also be able to see that when our military is discussing a matter, we can speak freely. Whether it is right or wrong, useful or useless, you can raise it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fan Liangfu cleared his mind and said. "Your Majesty, the grassroots have never seen firearms. So I can only speak according to the thinking of the grassroots."

"Go ahead." I smiled.encouraged.

"The Battle of Xiangfan. Although the Mongols were defeated and returned. However, the main cavalry army of the Mongolian Central Route Army did not suffer much loss. There is no doubt about its bravery. According to common sense, if you give them time to breathe. Add With the appeasement of the generals such as A Shu, it will be even more difficult to conquer. Therefore, marching into Nanyang can be said to be the top priority of our army." Fan Liangfu paused.Steal a glance at me.Then he said. "However, Caomin thought that the Mongols have been operating the Central Plains for decades. Our army's victory in the Northern Expedition will not be accomplished in a day. Therefore, Caomin, Caomin..."
