It is impossible for Wu Yiyong to catch up with Zhao Huan if he wants to chase him!

Because Zhao Huan also has a group of young and strong new military soldiers around him. If they can't beat Wu Yiyong in field battles, will they still be unable to escape?

Wu Yiyong led the cavalry to pursue the pursuit was already within their expectations, so after the large group of people left the city, they immediately split into two. They fled along the Jinshui River to Zhengzhou. This was the main force, and there were many people who supported the elderly and the young, following them, dragging them forward, crying and yelling, attracting Wu Yiyong's pursuit.

On the other side, there were all kinds of horse-drawn cavalry, protecting Zhao Huan and his wife and the prime ministers and the important officials along the Huimin River to flee to Yingchang Prefecture. After arriving at Yingchang Prefecture, he had a short rest and set off on the road again, heading towards Nanyang County, Dengzhou Prefecture. After arriving in Nanyang, he took Shangluo Ancient Road to Wuguan, and finally arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture, the capital of Yongxing Jun Road.

According to the plan, Jingzhao Prefecture will be renamed Chang'an Prefecture and become the Great Song Dynasty, which is known as the capital of the Western Song Dynasty as later generations!

The name of the two Song dynasties in the north and south is not available in the history of this time and space.

The former Song Dynasty, Western Song Dynasty and Eastern Song Dynasty were replaced. The former Song Dynasty started from the time when Zhao Kuangyin's Chenqiao mutiny and the yellow robe was put on, until Zhao Huan abandoned Kaifeng and ended in Guanzhong, which lasted for 166 years. The history of the Western Song Dynasty began with Zhao Huan's migration to the west in the sixth year of Xuanhe. Zhao Huan's posthumous title was not "Qinzong", but the more awesome Song Wuzong!

The "Retro Army Revival" movement initiated by Zhao Huan's entry into Guanzhong is also known as "Wuzong Revival" or "Wuzong Revival". After the "Retro Army Revival" movement ended, a Western Song Dynasty, which was very different from the former Song Dynasty, which was very different from the emphasis on culture and over military affairs and was prosperous in industry and commerce, began to appear on the historical stage.

This will be a closed, conservative feudal country with the Guanlong Prefecture as the foundation and implementing ban on mercantilism.

It seems to be a regression, but careful analysis is also in line with China's tearing development state at this time.

According to the analysis of later sociologists, the great division and great reform that occurred in the late Song Dynasty were actually an inevitable connection. The source of the great division and great reform were both a series of social changes with great influence during the reign of Emperor Daozong of the former Song Dynasty!

The reform is so extensive and thorough, involving almost all aspects of thought, technology, politics, economy, military, religion, etc. New ideas, new technologies, new political models, new economic models, new military, and even new religions emerge one after another. While injecting infinite vitality into the Chinese nation, it also produces some adverse reactions.

This adverse reaction is mostly caused by extreme imbalance caused by geopolitical influences.

Because China's territory is huge, it was claimed to have all the seas at its peak in the late Song Dynasty! The territory of the country extends from the ocean in the east to the desert in the inland Central Asia, from the Sanfoqi Strait in the South China Sea to the grasslands and forests in the north.

Such a country with a vast territory, inconvenient transportation in many inland areas, and extremely different economic development levels in various places. In a world of rapid changes, it is very natural that it has extreme regional imbalances and cannot maintain unity.

Of course, for a country like China that is deeply influenced by the idea of ​​unification, division is always temporary.

Moreover, the benefits the countries of Xia have obtained from this great change are really different.

The New Zhou, located on the southeast coast (different from the Northern Zhou, Later Zhou, and the Great Zhou Republic in history, were the ones who benefited the most from the great changes. These two countries embarked on the fast lane of capitalism and also took the sailboat of the Great Age of Discovery, and were destined to become two world empires!

In order to fight against the two capitalist world empires in the East, the Western Song Dynasty, Daliang and Western Jin Dynasty, located in the closed inland, had to embark on the path of military feudalization. Although they could also obtain some technology from the East, they could not embark on the path of capitalist development like the New Zhou and Eastern Song Dynasty.

So when the era of industrialization comes, the feudal military state will eventually be eliminated and unified by their powerful capitalist compatriots...

Therefore, in the view of later historians, the Western Song Dynasty founded by Emperor Wuzong of Song and the Retro Party members could not escape the fate of being annexed by Eastern countries from the very beginning.

Conquest from west to east is difficult to happen in the era of workshops and handicrafts and great navigation.

Although Emperor Wuzong of Song and his successors launched the Eastern Expedition more than once, the huge disadvantage in productivity caused all the efforts of the military nobles in the western region to be wiped out.

Therefore, starting from the westward migration of Emperor Wuzong, the future belongs to the New Zhou and Eastern Song dynasties.

However, during the tenth year of the Great Zhou Republic and the sixth year of the Great Song Dynasty, the Eastern Song Dynasty, which had a bright future, had a rather bleak start.

...

The Huai River is flooding, and looking around, it is boundless.

Zhao Kai and Wu Meiniang, who were sitting on a sailing sand boat, were a little stunned when they looked at the endless flood in front of them.

The plan really dared not change. They originally planned to intercept the gold transport ship led by Zhao Ding at the intersection of the Huaihe River and the canal near Chuzhou.

But unexpectedly, the Yellow River seized the Huai River, causing a flood in the lower reaches of the Huai River! The Huai River became the Huaihai! Thirty or forty sand ships were similar to dozens of leaves on the boundless Huaihai. Where can I find Zhao Ding’s gold transport ship?

The gold and silver may all be washed away by the flood!

This is worth tens of millions of gold and silver! It just disappeared like this...

And where did such a large amount of water come from? There hasn't been much heavy rain on the Huai River these days! Why is it so flooded?

How many people will have to drown?

The battle of founding the Eastern Song Dynasty was really unfavorable!

A light walking boat rushed from the northwest direction, and the flag was also from the Donghai Kingdom. After a while, it leaned on the flagship "Donghai" that Zhao Kai and Wu Meiniang rode.

An officer from the Donghai Navy named Li Bao jumped onto the "Donghai" gang barefoot, strode to Cheng Gui and reported: "Reported to the Admiral, the flood rushed from Xuzhou, and Xuzhou City and Liguo City were all soaked in the water!"

"What? It rushed over from Xuzhou?" Wu Meiniang frowned, "Is it the Yellow River water? The Yellow River broke its mouth and it flooded the Huai River?"

The Yellow River seized the Huai River once during the Shenzong Dynasty, and Xuzhou City was soaked up.

Zhao Kai just shook his head, "Oh, I have been busy fighting in the past few years and haven't built the river embankment well... What should I do now?"

what to do?

The rebellion has been made, and I don’t know where the gold and silver have gone?

"Go to Xuzhou!" Wu Meiniang gritted her silver teeth, "Since she couldn't find Zhao Ding's gold and silver ship, she would go and get the remaining copper coins, which would have 50 million yuan... By the way, she swept away all the supplies of the people in Xuzhou City and Li Guojian.

As long as someone arrives in Jiangning Prefecture, we can rebuild a new Xuzhou!"

Xuzhou is the first handicraft center in Dasong, now the first handicraft center, including coin minting, ceramics, iron smelting, coal digging, mud and ash, and the five pillar industries. It is the germination of capitalism.

As long as you pull away all the handicraft industry and talents in Xuzhou, it will take only a few years to reach Jiangnan and develop a large number of central cities for factory handicrafts.

Compared with these industries and talents, Xuzhou's gold and silver are not the most precious wealth at all.

"Okay, okay, saving people is important." Zhao Kai, the founding emperor of the Eastern Song Dynasty, was a distracted person, and he followed his wife Wu Meiniang in everything.

He immediately ordered the fleet to drive to Xuzhou City. These are 36 "East Sea"-class galloping sand-type gunboats! There are hundreds of 3,000 kilograms of long cannons on the ship. Xuzhou's big basin cannot withstand such firepower. Xuzhou big basin is used to resist army artillery. He never thought that dozens of sand-type gunboats would come.

So when Su Chi, who was stranded in Xuzhou, was completely stunned when he saw the scenes of warships everywhere outside the city.

The outer trenches, chest walls, and tiger falls of Xuzhou Grand Basin are all flooded now. Although the 24 prism-shaped castles are still there, they can't withstand the bombardment of so many warships!

Moreover, these warships can directly crash into the fort, so that the soldiers can easily climb the city to attack.

In order to defend against attacks, the prismatic castle was not very tall, and it could not reach the point when it encountered the attack of the ship!

However, the fleet of the Donghai Kingdom did not attack immediately, but instead sent Su Shi from Li Guojian to Xuzhou City with a walk, and persuaded Su Chi to surrender.

...

"Zhongnan, what's going on?"

When he saw his younger brother, Su Chi, who was trapped in Xuzhou City, was also confused. He didn't know whether Du Chong digged the Yellow River, so he couldn't figure out why Xuzhou City was soaked in big water overnight.

Su Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that Du Chong ordered people to dig the Yellow River Dam, flooding Hebei, Jingdong, Lianghuai Road, etc.... It's really cruel!"

"What? The Yellow River Dam was dug..." Su Chi was stunned, "Is this true? Is Du Chong crazy?"

"It's probably true!" Su Shi said, "I heard from the people on the gang ship driving from Yanzhou, so I shouldn't be wrong.

It is said that the official family has abandoned Kaifeng Prefecture and traveled west to Luoyang... Brother, it seems that the two brothers can only serve as officials in the same court.

Moreover, there is a water town in Zeguo outside Xuzhou. I don’t know how long it will take to flood, and you can’t persist here. Even if the King of Donghai doesn’t fight, Zhouguo will fight when he comes."

Su Chi also knew that Xuzhou could not be defended, so he asked, "But there are still 200,000 to 300,000 people in Xuzhou City! What should they do?"

Su Shi said: "Of course we left together! There are more than 100,000 people from Li Guojian, and those from Donghai Kingdom who are willing to leave will be taken away by boat. Donghai King has ordered people to transfer sand ships from Donghai Kingdom... Some ships can still run back and forth, and they must transport everyone to Jiangnan. From now on, they will be placed in Jiangning Prefecture, Taipingzhou, Chizhou, Jiangzhou, Runzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou and other places.

Jiangning Prefecture and Taipingzhou have excellent iron ore. Jiangzhou’s clay is good. Now there are porcelain kilns, and Chizhou also has tea and silk. It is also a good place. Moreover, these prefectures are all on the edge of the Yangtze River, with convenient waterways and transportation, and are a treasure land for the development of industry and commerce!”
