When the situation changed suddenly, Liu Yan secretly said that he was not good. He made the problem simple. Although Wen Tianxiang was a prime minister and clerk, this navy was not his subordinate, but Zhang Shijie’s men. A captured prime minister suddenly returned. He also brought a few people from the Yuan army who were dressed up from unknown origins.
Song Jun’s strong bow and hard crossbow muskets can’t hurt Liu Yanzhi half a point, but not all of them in the team are Iron King Kong. They really don’t have an eye on their bows and arrows, and it’s not good to hurt anyone. If Song Jun doesn’t say anything, just go ahead. Then Liu Yanzhi had no other way, only to get rid of them first, and then blaze a trail.
Fortunately, the Song Army just surrounded the cabin and did not immediately start the killing. An officer spoke in Lin'an accented Mandarin and pressed the handle of the knife and said: "Positioning, offended, there are too many spies for Tarzi. It’s safe to do so, I have to ask someone to call out the weapons and let us take care of them."
"Everyone, cooperate." Liu Yan said straightly.
A few sabers, bows and arrows were thrown out, and these cold weapons were useless anyway, but Liu Handong's pistol and Liu Yanzhi's plasma stick were still on him.
The guests surrendered their weapons, and the Song Army outside responded kindly, putting away the crossbows and sheathing the saber, but they were still surrounded by the cabin, calling it "protection," in fact, putting everyone under house arrest.
After a long time, no officials came to greet these guests. Wen Tianxiang never returned. Liu Yanzhi wanted to get out of the cabin to check, but he was blocked by the soldiers. Asking them to inform them was just a perfunctory matter and waited until the evening. Smoke was rising from the sea on Yashan, almost every ship was making fires and cooking, and the air was filled with the smell of food. Looking out from the porthole, a group of chickens were stocked on the large ship in the distance, and there were even piglets running around on the deck. There are men and women on the ship, not like a sea fleet, but like boat people.
Everyone was hungry, coupled with their internal urgency, they couldn’t help being a little impatient. Someone happened to bring in food. Four small servants came in filed and placed wooden food boxes. The boxes were filled with food. Song Jun drifted on the sea. Fish and shrimp are the main food, the staple food is rice, and there is actually a jar of rice wine, which seems to be treated with courtesy.
Liu Yanzhi offered to show respect, Xiao Si pointed to the corner of the cabin and said, "There is a toilet."
There is a red-painted toilet in the corner, and there is a curtain outside that can be pulled up to block privacy. This is the bathroom. The two female relatives are holding their noses in disgust, expressing that they would rather hold back than use this toilet. Others can’t hold back. Yes, I went in one after another and had a good time, the sound of the torrent hitting the toilet is very embarrassing.
I emptied my bladder and felt better, so I started to eat. Liu Yan took the lead, picked up the chopsticks and feasted. Everyone also filled their stomachs first. When they finished their meal, the servants came in to clean up the mess and took the toilet out. It dumped on the side of the ship, and everyone who saw it was frightened. Two hundred thousand people eating and drinking in this sea area would cause ecological disasters over time.
After the meal, Liu Yanzhi once again asked the soldiers who had placed them under house arrest on their behalf and asked to see Wen Tianxiang or Zhang Shijie, but the soldiers said that they could not be the master and could only wait for the general to come.
When the lamp was palming, there was the sound of footsteps outside, and finally someone came to approach them. Liu Yan was very straightforward. He heard the soldiers saying to see the prime minister. After a short while, a civil official of about forty or fifty years old came in with a smile. He apologized, saying that the prime minister and the marshal were both busy with military affairs. There was really no time. His surname was Zhang, and he was appointed to entertain eight guests. Just tell him if you have anything.
Liu Yanzhi secretly said that this person is definitely not a deputy. There were three prime ministers in the exile court of the Southern Song Dynasty. At the battle of Yashan, Chen Yizhong and Zhang Shijie quarreled and ran to Champa by himself. Wen Tianxiang was captured in the land battle and could be called a navy. The only prime minister was Lu Xiufu, who was famous in history, who carried Emperor Song and committed suicide by jumping into the sea!
The prime minister personally came to take a look, and the opportunity came.
"Dare to ask where did you come from?" 　 Xiufu Lu asked, arching his hands.
"Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?" Liu Yanzhi had already typed the draft in his heart, so he was arrogant.
"Of course it's the truth."
"I will come from the sky to help the Song Dynasty." Liu Yan pointed directly at the night sky. "The Song Dynasty still has 500 years of national fortune, but it is also at stake. If you don't follow the will of God, you will definitely fall into the sand."
Lu Xiufu said: "I have 200,000 elite soldiers in Da Song and a thousand warships. Tarzi is not good at water warfare, and his military strength is far less than mine. Besides, there are countless Da Song citizens along the coast. The Daoist's words are exaggerated. "
Liu Yan said straightforwardly: "You don’t have two hundred thousand elite soldiers, two hundred thousand soldiers and civilians. Old and young women and children are in exile. Wen Tianxiang is newly defeated. The court is at odds with civil and military affairs. Land is lost. The enemy is not good at water warfare, but Zhang Hongfan’s navy is more adept at land warfare. I saw that Zhang Hongfan’s navy is not inferior to the Song master. What's more, Zhang Shijie just used it for himself, gave up the land, and did some ironwork on the Hengjiang. After a few days, the Tarzi navy only had to seal the seaport and send thousands on land. A cavalry patrolled back and forth to kill those who fetched water. These 200,000 men were thirst and died of thirst."
After hearing this, Lu Xiufu was horrified, and said hurriedly: "How to resist the enemy, please advise the Chief Daoist."
Liu Yan said straightforwardly: "I can't talk about advice, at least we have to meet frankly. Are you right, Lord Prime Minister Zuo?"
Lu Xiufu saw it through and saw him again: "Here is Lu Xiufu in Chuzhou." He doesn't have the air of a prime minister. In fact, these civil and military ministers in exile were still middle-level officials a few years ago. They surrendered at the Lin'an court. The team formed later has been in a state of war for a long time, so it has not developed a high-ranking official power, but is extremely approachable.
It turned out that after Wen Tianxiang returned, before he had time to see the emperor, Zhang Shijie was placed under house arrest. He wanted to kill the spies that Wen Tianxiang had brought. Lu Xiufu immediately came to stop him after hearing the news, because he took a divination this morning, and the hexagram said With the help of noble people, the so-called nobles must be these eight strangers.
Lu Xiufu's gaze swept over the eight people, and he was secretly surprised that they were all strangers as expected.
Needless to say, Liu Yan has a strong aura, and he is not a mortal at first glance. The party is still a fairy, the party is patriotic and elegant and handsome. Liu Handong is eight feet tall and has a thin waist. He looks like Zhao Yun. Hannibal is blond. The blue-eyed Fanbang person, Li Jusheng is still young, less than 20 years old this year. Although Guan Lu and Zhen Yue are dressed in menswear, they can see that they are stunning women. The demeanor and manners of these eight people are rare in the world, and they are definitely not spies of the Yuan army. .
Eight people met Lu Xiufu one by one. Although the reputation of Prime Minister Zuo was not as great as Wen Tianxiang, he was also a strong patriot who deserved respect.
Liu Yan said straightforwardly: "Master Lu, this battle cannot be fought, and the battle will be defeated. It is better to retreat overseas as early as possible. The 200,000 soldiers and civilians will be able to open up branches and leaves in less than a hundred years and build a great Song Dynasty. The national destiny of Tarzi will be defeated then It's almost there, waiting for the third generation to recover the Central Plains with no effort."
This answer is obviously not what Lu Xiufu wants. He is the head of civil servants. He is different from Zhang Shijie, the leader of military commanders, in tactical layout, but his strategic thinking is the same, which is to circle the coastline, wait for the opportunity to occupy the city, and call on the southern military and civilians to revolt. Yuan, as for exile, these loyal ministers and generals did not consider it at all.
"Abandoning the people of the Central Plains, nothing can be done." Lu Xiufu shook his head resolutely. This is the bottom line, and even the last person in the fight cannot be broken.
"Then we can only win this battle first." Liu Yan said straightforwardly. He is considered knowledgeable. All the high officials in exile in the imperial court are a tendon, but only such people can persevere. Those who are flexible and open-minded. Yes, he has long been an official of the Yuan Dynasty.
If you want to win the Battle of Yashan, you need to score troops to land, control the water source, and then break the iron chain linking the warships, and fight separately. It is best to control the exit to the sea. This is the basic condition for a battle. , Otherwise it would just wait and die, but all these needs to be changed are Zhang Shijie’s decisions and cannot be changed easily.
"Let me see Zhang Shijie, I will persuade him." Liu Yan said straight.
Lu Xiufu pondered for a moment, and said I would give it a try. Marshal Zhang is busy with military affairs and may not have time.
Liu Yanzhi once again persuaded Lu Xiufu to abandon the mainland and go overseas to find a way out. He drew a beautiful blueprint for Lu Xiufu. Two hundred thousand people of Song Dynasty traveled across the ocean and came to a richness where the four seasons are like spring and the rice is ripe three times a year. Land, mining iron ore, and developing science and technology, it only takes 20 years to build warships made of steel, not afraid of crossbow firearms, and submarines that can advance underwater, radio stations that can communicate thousands of miles away, and can send bursts. The firing gun... Lu Xiufu's Yunshan mist cover seemed to loosen his position.
...
The next day, Lu Xiufu went to Zhang Shijie’s large ship of the Chinese Army to discuss major military issues with the navy generals, and at the same time talked about the suggestions of Liu Yanzhi and others.
Zhang Shijie was born in the army, with courage and less conspiracy, more than enough to charge into the battle, it is a bit reluctant to be the coach. The several battles he commanded before basically ended in failure, but Zhang Dashuai did not take it as a warning. Instead, he continued to act arbitrarily. Although he was only the clerk's deputy, he didn't buy anyone's account, even the little emperor couldn't speak well.
Hearing what Lu Xiufu said, Zhang Shijie sneered: "A bunch of swindlers, this commander is already extra-lawful for not killing them."
Lu Xiufu persuaded Zhang Shijie again, and Zhang Shijie was annoyed: "The prime minister shouldn't overstep him for the matter of marching and fighting, and Zhang will bear the responsibility of winning or losing."
"The life and death of 200,000 people, the survival of the Song Dynasty, can you bear it!" Lu Xiufu trembled with anger, and asked sternly. Zhang Shijie ignored it, and a group of generals also ignored it. Lu Xiufu beat his chest and lost his temper. Helpless.
Liu Yanzhi over there was still waiting for Lu Xiufu’s good news, but it was too late. The sails of the Yuan Army battleship appeared on the sea level. Zhang Hongfan’s navy came over, and blocked the mouth of Yashan, and appeared on land. A large number of cavalry.
Two hundred thousand soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty were trapped in this cliff mountain waters.
The Yuan army launched an offensive almost immediately. In the era when there was no artillery, the water battle relied on crossbows and fire attacks. The Song army connected all the warships with iron cables ~EbookFREE.me~ to form a water city. But the place where the wooden boats get together is suitable for the opponent's fire attack.
The first wave of offensive consisted of hundreds of small boats. The boats were filled with thatch grease. After being ignited, dead men were sent to ride in the wind, but the Song Army had already taken precautions. The ships on the outside were covered with wet mud and were not afraid of fire. There was also a one-foot-long wooden pole used to push the fireboat. This round of attack ended with the failure of the Yuan army.
In the next few days, the Yuan Army did not attack again, but quietly waited for the Song Army to collapse on its own.
The scouts on the shore of the Song Army and the workers who chopped wood and water were all shot and expelled by the Yuan army cavalry. The drinking water of 200,000 people suddenly became the biggest crisis. The fresh water stored on the ship was not enough for three days. There is no food, no hot food, no fresh water, no matter how strong fighting spirit is.
The fresh water supply for the eight guests was also cut. Each of them only had three glasses of water per day, and they were not even able to brush their teeth. They were treated well, and ordinary soldiers had no water to drink. They were even more thirsty after eating dry food. I had to drink sea water. Sea water contains a lot of salt. Drinking it will only make you thirsty. Many soldiers of the Song Army vomit and diarrhea and lose their combat effectiveness.
"Finally it's my turn to take the shot." Liu Yan straightened out the Qiankun bag, "You can try to see how big the bag is and whether it can hold a freshwater lake."
