"In recent years, Li Tingzhi, Jiang Cai, Miao Zaicheng, Zhao Mengjin, Chen Wenlong, Liu Shengbo, Xiu Wang Zhao Xingheng and other important officials have all left. Prime Minister Wen was defeated by Li Heng first and was later captured by Zhang Hongfan. Prime Minister Chen went to Chameng to borrow troops but did not return for a long time, and Zhang Hongfan led a large army from Chaozhou to Yashan. What should we do?" In the second year of Xiangxing in the Song Dynasty, in the palace of Yashan, Empress Dowager Yang, who was in charge of the power behind the curtain, asked worriedly.

As she said just now, the form of the Song Dynasty is in danger. Since Kublai Khan adopted Boyan's strategy three years ago to launch the battle to destroy the Song Dynasty, the Yuan army has advanced in three ways. The right prime minister Ali Hague attacked Hunan, the capital marshal Song Du led the left deputy capital marshal Li Heng, the Han army 1000 Wu Xiu, and Zhang Rong actually took Jiangxi to cut off the east-west connection between the Song Dynasty; the left prime minister A Shu led the army to attack Yangzhou and blocked the southern aid of the Huaidong Song army; the main force directly took Lin'an.

In October, Boyan divided his troops into three routes to attack south in Zhenjiang; participated in the politics of Alahan, and the 40,000 general manager Aoluchi and others were the right-wing army, leading infantry and cavalry to Jiankang through Liyang, and Guangde to attack Dusong Pass; Dong Wenbing, the minister of the Secretariat, Zhang Hongfan, and Fan Wenhu, the governor of Liangzhe University, were the left-wing army, and led the boat troops through Jiangyin Army and Xu Pu, and went from sea to Zepu; Boyan and the right-wing army Atahai led the middle-wing army to Changzhou and Pingjiang, and controlled the troops to meet in Lin'an.

In February of the following year, Song Gongzong Zhao Xian led all officials to surrender to Yuan in Lin'an. Boyan took Xie Daoqing's hand order and recruited the surrender to the prefectures and counties. Xia Gui, the commander of Huaixi, surrendered to Yuan in Huaixi. Li Tingzhi, the commander of Huaidong, insisted on resisting Yuan until July. He responded to the call of exiled regime and wanted to return to Hainan. Deputy General Zhu Huan surrendered to Yuan in the city, Li Tingzhi, Jiang Cai and others were captured and killed, and Huaidong was occupied by the Yuan army. Li Heng and Ali Hague from Jiangxi and Hunan also won one after another. In just a few months, the Song Dynasty lost a large area of ​​land.

In May, Chen Yizhong, Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang and others supported King Yi of Yi in Fuzhou as the emperor, and changed the reign to Jingyan. King Guang Zhao Bing was appointed King Wei, Chen Yizhong was appointed as the left prime minister and Privy Councilor, and governed the army and horses of various routes. Zhang Shijie was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Lu Xiufu was appointed as the Privy Councilor, and Wen Tianxiang was appointed as the Privy Councilor and was in charge of the generals. He sent generals to Jiangxi, but the southern two Zhejiang areas failed one after another. Zhang Shijie was forced to support Zhao Bing, and Zhao Bing fled to the sea. Wen Tianxiang was defeated and captured. The Xichuan Court envoy Buhua led his army to capture Chongqing, Kuizhou, Hechuan, and Sichuan.

In April last year, Emperor Zhao Chuang of Song, Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu supported Zhao Bing as emperor and moved to Mount Ji. In June, Kublai Khan ordered Zhang Hongfan to be the capital of Mongolia and Han army, and led water. The infantry and cavalry troops south from the sea route. The capital marshal Li Heng led the infantry and cavalry south from land to annihilate the remnants of the Song Dynasty. In November, Zhang Hongfan attacked Zhang, Chao and Huizhou from the sea route. Li Heng led the infantry and cavalry to cross the Dayu Ridge to Guangdong, seize Yingde, and occupied Guangzhou. He was about to attack Yashan.

Previously, he could retreat to Fuzhou in Lin'an and from Fuzhou to Yashan, but he could still leave classes to retreat to Yashan? Chen Yizhong, who went to Chameng for help, had no news for a long time, and their last retreat was cut off. Empress Dowager Yang realized that the Song Dynasty had reached its end now and seemed to have no way out.

"Empress Dowager, the Mongol Yuan is good at land warfare but weaker than water warfare. Now our army is stationed in the natural danger of Yashan. There are mountains confrontations on the left and right sides of the waterway, like a dark iron gate of ministers. There is also a steep mountain barrier behind the port. It is unlikely that the Mongol Yuan wants to attack from land. The only way to fight is to launch an attack from the sea. If the Mongol cavalry on the sea loses its place of use, it will only become the ghosts under the sword of our Song Dynasty." Zhang Shijie, deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor, comforted him, but he may not even believe these words?

If this battle is defeated, you should sacrifice your country with His Majesty. Even if Zhang is not able to win over the world, he still has the courage to sacrifice his country. Zhang Shijie thought in his heart.

Zhang Shijie served under Zhang Rou, a Han general who served in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and later defected to the Song Dynasty. He has been loyal to the Song Dynasty since then and has worked hard to save the decline of the Song Dynasty. However, the current situation in the Song Dynasty is not something he can do alone. Coincidentally, Zhang Hongfan, the general of the Yuan army who led the army to attack Yashan this time, happened to be the son of Zhang Rou. Perhaps Zhang Shijie had met Zhang Hongfan at the beginning, but he didn't know that he had thoughts in his heart when he met his old friend Zhang Shijie at this time.

The disposal envoy, Yang Liangjie, the brothers of Queen Mother Yang, Du Hu, the Si Nongqing Du Hu, Zhai Guoxiu, Liu Jun and others, each made their own remarks. Some agreed to persevere, some wanted to escape elsewhere, and even some tried to surrender to the Mongolian Yuan. The ministers in the small palace were intertwined and fell into chaos.

But what surprised everyone was that Lu Xiufu, the left prime minister who used to advocate resistance at court meetings in the past, did not say anything at this time, and stood in the court with his eyes slightly closed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just as the Song Dynasty was arguing, the general of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the Jiangdong Dao Xuanwei envoy Zhang Hongfan, led a huge fleet from Chaozhou to the south and had arrived at the sea outside Yashan. He was preparing to give the Song Dynasty a fatal blow from here and completely ruin this country that had resisted Mongolia for decades.

Since the Mongolian destroyed the Jin Dynasty, it launched an attack on the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty also launched a tenacious resistance. Even the Mongolian Khan Mengge was buried under the Diaoyutai. In order to compete for the Khan throne, Kublai Khan suspended his battle with the Song Dynasty. After defeating Alibuge, Kublai Khan obtained the supreme rule of Mongolia and started the war to destroy the Song Dynasty four years ago. After this battle, the Song Dynasty will destroy the hands of me, Zhang Hongfan.

When Zhang Hongfan thought of the glory he was about to receive, a hint of excitement surged in his heart. He looked at Wen Tianxiang, who had become a prisoner in front of him, "Prime Minister Wen, what words should you say after I destroyed the Song Dynasty, I would like to engrave the rock walls of Yashan?"

Wen Tianxiang turned his head and looked into the direction of Yashan without saying a word. His heart was filled with worries about Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie and others.

"God has the virtue of being alive. If it were not forbidden, I would not want to start a massacre." Zhang Hongfan ordered people to send him a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, "I also asked Prime Minister Wen to write a letter to Zhang Shijie to persuade him to surrender. If they were willing to surrender, I, Zhang Hongfan, would not be difficult for them."

Wen Tianxiang was stunned for a moment, walked to the table and picked up the brush. The pen was like a dragon and a snake. Zhang Hongfan thought he had figured it out, and happily walked behind him to see what he had written. However, when he saw clearly the content on the paper, he was not only stunned, but he saw that it was written on the paper:

"After a hard time, the stars around you fell.

The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and the life experience is floating and the rain is blowing.

I was afraid of the beach and sighed in the ocean.
