Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1110 Navy Landing
In the summer, the Jinyuanzhou navy under the command of Liu Jinyuan had only 5 people. In the past six months, the hundreds of pirates, large and small, who were subdued at that time have been completely digested, and they have been reorganized and reorganized, and certain training has been carried out. There are already 10 people in the Yuanzhou navy, and [-] are brought out this time, and another [-] are guarding Jin Yuanzhou.

With a force of 1 troops, the overwhelming number of ships almost covered the surface of the sea. Standing on the tall command ship of the [-]-strong Jin Yuan, Liu Jinyuan was in high spirits, and he was full of confidence in the strategic goal of the trip.The [-] navy carefully built by the Song State defected with Zhao Pu and became the Wu State Navy, and then more than [-] of them defected from the Wu State and became the Wuyue State Navy.The navies of the three countries compete with each other around the Yangtze River, and there is no extra navies to worry about going overseas.Therefore, the entire South China Sea and the East China Sea are now completely controlled by their Jin Yuanzhou Navy.

Therefore, the Jinyuanzhou navy appeared in the sea off Haizhou, and the whole process was truly like entering a land without people.For countless years in Haizhou, except for a small number of pirates who landed on remote coasts and entered villages to loot and plunder, no army from the sea has ever attacked the port of Haizhou City and then attacked the city.Although there is a Liao army in Hebei, and Xiangfu Kingdom in the northwest is also invaded by a large army, it is still far away from Haizhou.Therefore, everyone in Haizhou did not have the slightest vigilance and precautions against the invading enemy.

"Order the whole army, the Navy's first brigade as the vanguard, to attack from a distance with giant catapults, cover the brigades' marine battalions to land ashore to seize the beachhead, and attack the opponent's defense line outside the city as quickly as possible.

"As ordered!"

"Order all the brigades, marine battalions and other landing combat troops. After taking down the defense line outside the city, they don't need to attack the city, but immediately intersperse inward to cut off the communication and passage between Haizhou City and the outside world. Then attack the city."

"Yes!"

One order after another was quickly transmitted to the brigade commander's ship through the semaphore, and then the brigade commanders issued orders again and again.

"Order all the brigades to advance at full speed. After two hours, launch an attack on Haizhou port." Liu Jinyuan pointed at Haizhou.I thought to myself: "It has been three years since the navy was established, and it has been waiting for this moment, waiting for His Majesty to rule the world and unify the world."

……

Ao Rihai is an ordinary fisherman in Haizhou. He owns a fishing boat full of materials. The family of three almost takes the boat as their home and rarely goes ashore. After catching more fish, they traveled extremely far at sea, spending their entire lives at sea to make a living. Knowing that this season, there are very few big storms and waves on the sea, it is a good time to go to sea.Although there are many seafood fish nearby, there are also many fishing boats, and disputes often arise because of competition for space. Moreover, the fish species there are relatively common, and it is difficult to sell them at a high price. Only by traveling far can you find good fish and sell them well. Price.

This New Year's Eve, life is getting worse and worse. Although the drought, locust plague, and war have not affected Haizhou, it is inevitable that the taxes on the people of Haizhou have tripled in just one year.Especially recently, there was an additional war tax, and in order to prevent his son from being conscripted, he had to go up and down, which cost a lot, and it would be difficult to feed those officials if he didn't catch some rare fish species.

My son is twenty this year, his family is poor, and he cannot marry a wife, but he is afraid of being conscripted into the army. Although the imperial court has an order not to enlist only sons, when he gets to the bottom, those officials do not care about it in order to complete the conscription task in full. These, the old Mao's family who fished with him, was also the only son, so he was forced to serve in the army. Not long ago, someone from the army came to report the bad news. I heard that he had just arrived in a county in Hebei and was in charge of guarding the city. The gangsters of Violent Bear were conquered. The boy from Lao Mao’s family heard that he was shot through the eye by an arrow on the top of the city, and the body fell from the top of the city. No one collected the body. Once he got sick, the family didn't have money to hire a doctor to see a doctor, let alone medicine, so he died of illness the day before yesterday, Lao Mao's old wife hanged herself that night, and a good family was lost like this.

Ao Rihai sighed, and muttered to himself: "This world really makes the poor have no way to live."

"Father, I heard that the people of the Xiangfu Kingdom established by the legendary emperor in the northwest are living a very good life. The common people have white flour buns to eat every day, and they are full. Millions of people in the three roads in the northwest of the Song Dynasty were affected by the disaster. The court and the emperor Not only did the old man ignore it, but he even rushed to Xiangfu country, and as a result, the legendary emperor gave all the people who went to Xiangfu country food and ten acres of land."

Ao Rihai sighed again, and said: "Xiangfu Country is too far away from us, otherwise it would be good for our family to migrate there. Forget it, let's not talk about it, our trip today is really not in vain Let's go!" The son looked at the fish cabin full of all kinds of rare fish, grinning from ear to ear, "These fish can be sold for at least a dozen taels of silver when they go ashore."

Ao Rihai said with some emotion: "The money is probably not enough to take care of those officials and gentlemen, alas! As long as you can stay at home safely, it doesn't matter if we go to sea a few more times. You can also go out this year. If you are lucky enough, the money you sell will be able to marry your daughter-in-law into your home. Your mother and I asked a matchmaker to tell you about the daughter of the Du family. You know her too. It’s pretty good. It’s just 20 taels of silver. Dowry gift. I think that girl is quite good at housekeeping, 20 taels is 20 taels!"

"It's her!" There was an embarrassed and honest smile on his face, it seemed that he was quite familiar with the Du family's daughter.

"Father!" The son raised his head suddenly, looked into the distance, with a dumbfounded expression on his face, raised his finger and said, "Many boats!"

Ao Rihai suddenly turned his head, and on the sea level, densely packed ships suddenly appeared, and they were approaching at an extremely fast speed.

Ao Rihai's face changed drastically as the ships on the sea got closer, and he saw the military flag flying above the opposing ships.But this is not important, what is important is that they are on the route in the direction of other people's driving.

"Where did the navy army come from?" the son said in a daze.

Ao Rihai shouted hoarsely while holding the oars: "Why are you still in a daze, row the boat quickly, row to one side, don't block their front!"

Only then did the son come to his senses, and together with Ao Rihai, he rowed the fishing boat desperately. Fortunately, they were right next to them, and they quickly rowed out of the dangerous area, otherwise their boat would definitely be smashed into pieces.

None of the officers and soldiers of the Jinzhou Navy who came noticed that there was a tiny fishing boat on their side trying to stay away from them. Even if someone saw it, they didn't bother to pay attention.

Ten miles offshore, Haizhou Port could already be seen vaguely. Liu Jinyuan, who was standing on the Jinyuan, could even use a telescope to clearly see the panic in the port, but there were no naval warships or troops stationed here.

Not long after, there was no one on the pier, and there was no armed defense. The long-range suppression attack prepared by the Jinzhou Navy to cover the attack of the Marine Battalion was not needed at all.

The troop carrier arrived at the shore smoothly, and the springboard with a width of more than ten meters was pushed off the ship amidst the shouts of the sailors and soldiers. When it reached the ground, the neighing of war horses sounded, and the Jinzhou navy cavalry jumped from the ship. The horse stepped out, brandishing his saber and rushed ashore, heading straight for Haizhou City.

Clanking iron hoofs, beating the stone slabs of the port, all the cavalry galloped past, rushing towards the east gate of Haizhou City, which had not received any news from more than ten miles away.

When the [-] cavalry in the Jinzhou Navy and Marine Battalion quickly overtook and fled to Haizhou, when the people who ran to Haizhou appeared outside Haizhou City, there was still a lot of traffic in front of the bustling Haizhou City Gate. Waiting in line to get into town.

When the [-] cavalry were four or five miles away, the people at the city gate and the officers and soldiers guarding the city felt the ground shaking and turned pale with fright. When they were about to close the city gate, suddenly someone among the people queuing in front of the gate shouted: "The pirates are coming!" !"

Then all the people reacted and rushed towards the city desperately. The four or five officers and soldiers collecting taxes were rushed aside. Amidst the chaos, the four or five Haizhou guards The officers and soldiers at the city gate were already dead, and hundreds of Song soldiers guarding the city gate in the squad rooms on both sides rushed out of the house in a panic, but they were blocked by the people.When they finally reached the gate of the city, the [-] Golden State cavalry in the distance had already arrived.

.........

.........

On November [-]th, the bad news of Haizhou's fall was rushed to Kaifeng via [-] li. On the same day, a large number of military villages and passes from the Northwest Third Road, the city fell, the northwest frontier army was defeated, and the news that the main force was trapped in Gyeongju was also sent to Kaifeng. Arrived in Kaifeng.

Zhao Dezhao, who had just managed to digest the news that his ancestral grave was excavated and that Zhao Zan had failed in the field battle with the Liao army in command of the North, had not yet had time to catch his breath. Under this huge blow, Zhao Dezhao spit blood again and collapsed land.

The Great Song Palace was in chaos, and the entire court was completely controlled by Li Mingxuan.

Inside the Chongzheng Palace, there was deathly silence. The officials who had just arrived were shocked by the news one by one, and a shadow was cast over everyone's heart. The Great Song Dynasty might fall soon.Therefore, apart from heavy panting, there was no sound in the hall.

After being rescued by the imperial doctor, Zhao Dezhao woke up faintly, ignoring the imperial doctor's request to rest and recuperate, he dragged his sick body and sat on the dragon chair, his face extremely pale.

"My dear friends, now that my Great Song Dynasty is on the verge of life and death, do you plan to come out?" Zhao Dezhao's eyes swept over everyone in the hall.

Except for Li Mingxuan, Li Jixun, Zhang Dong and Cao Bin who was summoned, everyone else lowered their heads.

But even these four people frowned, unable to speak for a while.

Obviously they have no good strategy, or they can only mobilize the imperial guards now, but with the current situation of domestic turmoil and besieged on all sides, the capital's [-] elite move, the consequences are unpredictable.
