Chapter 1973 In addition to today, there are later generations of China
Brother Zhong Xiang was unable to resist the Song court's encirclement and suppression after all, but the one who made the court's faint emperor and sycophants fear the most was the Qi Emperor Xiao Tang, who had now established himself as emperor and was in opposition to the Song court from the north to the south?
Yang Yao knew that Zhong Xiang had always intended to form a strategic alliance with Xiao and Tang to fight against the Song Dynasty. However, not only were the two parties' powers far apart at the beginning, but Zhong Xiang had already established a country named Chu, called himself king, established a prince, and established officials.
, it seems that he also intends to regard himself as the king of a country, so when dealing with the forces of Xiao and Tang, he has to maintain the airs of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and he is determined not to surrender to the Qi Dynasty and accept its appointment plan like Fan Ruwei of Fujian. You and I
We have common enemies and common interests that can be fought for, but we still have to maintain our independence. It is absolutely impossible to teach our Dongting Lake Rebel Army to completely obey your orders from Qi Dynasty.
What's more, it's not like the two sides didn't send envoys to communicate secretly in the past. Although the Qi Dynasty took good care of them, officials such as Chai Jin who were involved in the negotiations didn't seem to pay much attention to Prime Minister Zhong's request to discuss a joint plan to invade the Song Dynasty.
.
After all, after destroying the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, Xiao Tang's ambition was to establish a unified Chinese civilization regime. Even if Prime Minister Zhong only wanted to occupy Hunan and Hubei as a separatist force, he would never be able to teach it to survive for a long time. Even if it was temporarily expedient.
, Zhong Xiang, Yang Yao, for Xiao Tang, their existence is to contain a certain amount of Song court military power as much as possible, and the current situation has evolved to such an extent that Zhong Xiang has reached the day when he will eventually be annihilated by the Song army.
There is no need to invest extra financial and military resources for this anti-military force that refuses to belong to its own rule. Since they cannot be slapped together, and they are blocked by the territories directly under the Song court, Zhong Xiang and Xiao Tang
Naturally, the exchanges became increasingly rare.
However, for Yang Yao now, not only does he no longer have any doubts about joining Xiao Tang and doing his best, but as long as he can continue to fight against the Song Dynasty and mix up his family background, brother Zhong Xiang has already been killed by the Song army.
, now why can't we entrust our lives to the Xiao Tang Qi Dynasty, which is probably more than a hundred times more powerful than the Dongting Lake Rebels?
"...Don't get entangled with any of the Song troops. Drive the boat to the shore as soon as possible. Once you land, you will immediately go into the woods and just run to the east. At any rate, now the Xiaotang and Qi Dynasties have captured Jianghuai
region, but if you can escape the hunting of the army around Dongting Lake and surrender to the Qi Dynasty, and sooner or later kill the generals and come back to avenge Brother Zhong Xiang and all the brothers, then there is still hope!"
Yang Yao said in a hiss, but although there were still ships of the Song Dynasty on the water, and among the water fortresses that had been conquered and fallen everywhere, there were still some rebel sailors fleeing in various directions. Sometimes they were unlucky, and it was unavoidable.
The Dongting Lake Rebel Army, which was still intercepted and sunk by the Song Ting Navy warship, and whose military morale had dropped to the bottom, was either completely annihilated by the Song Army, or had to immediately shout for surrender. Fortunately, Yang Yao led the remaining defeated army to sail quickly.
On the shore of the embankment, he panicked and plunged into a dense forest that blocked the sky from the sun, and immediately embarked on a long escape...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Although the rebel forces on the side of Prime Minister Zhong of Dongting Lake eventually fell under the encirclement and suppression led by Yue Fei himself, the Qi Dynasty took the opportunity to launch a large-scale surprise attack from both land and water.
Junzhou was lost one after another, cutting off the Song army's water and land passes from the Yangtze River to the East China Sea. This had the opposite effect of losing the east corner and gaining the mulberry elm. Although the hidden danger of domestic rebellion was finally suppressed, it was not for the Song Dynasty court.
It was said that it was a real thorn in the side, but it took advantage of the situation to seize the strategic initiative.
Xiao Tang also began to arrange people to implement direct rule over the captured states in the south of the Yangtze River, appease the gentry and people in various places, set up and adjust the officials and subordinates of various prefectures and counties, and implement various laws and regulations enacted by the Qi Dynasty. And then
Li Jun, who led this surprise attack and made great achievements, dispatched several groups of naval forces to focus on repairing the company's water fortress, probably taking the waters of the Yangtze River, Jingjiang, and Jiangyin as the boundary to confront the Song Ting Water and Army Division in the west. Even if the Song Ting was
No longer willing to give in, but eager to regain the lost ground, the Qi Dynasty has now moved along the Yangtze and Huaihe areas to the states east of the conquered Liangzhe Road, and is connected to the Fujian Road territory under Fan Ruwei's command. If it rashly raises troops to attack, it will have to face a lot of trouble.
The Qi Dynasty's land and water frontier defense brigade.
As for Yang Yao, who was lucky enough to escape from the Dongting Lake War, he took Gao Xuan and 20 to 30 remaining defeated troops and fled in embarrassment through remote dense forests, passing through Jinghu North Road, Ezhou, Yuezhou and other places.
There were not many left, and they were broken into pieces, making it even more difficult for the officers and soldiers to hunt them down. However, Yang Yao was decisive and shrewd, and could sail boats well on the water. After observing for two or three days, he secretly seized two fishing boats and took advantage of the night.
Ferrying from Chibi on the east slope, we entered the Huanggang Zhixia waterfront at the junction of the four provinces of Hubei, Henan, Anhui and Jiangxi, and then entered the area now occupied by the Qi Dynasty.
On the Jianghuai border, there are only ten remaining tribesmen who have fled all the way...
However, when the Qi Dynasty Navy was patrolling along the river, they encountered Yang Yao's ship coming across the water. They immediately drove the boat forward and shouted at him. Yang Yao shouted loudly about his identity and why he was running around day and night. He must flee to Qi.
The border of the dynasty was used to describe the intention of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, the generals of the patrol patrol also knew very well that although their achievements in hegemony were far different from those of the emperor of the dynasty, they were still rebels against the Song Dynasty. The name of Yang Yao, the chief navy general under Zhong Xiang, who had also dominated one side, was
First. This matter was not a trivial matter. The navy patrolling the Yangtze River temporarily detained Yang Yao and others, and reported the report overnight. Yang Yao, who had escaped from Zhong Xiang's rebel army that had been destroyed by the Song Dynasty, came to surrender.
The news was passed through the water village along the river, the local inspection department, the Huainan West Road Marshal... until the news of Yang Yao's defection reached the imperial city of Damingfu.
The person who came to seek refuge with Yang Yao was actually Gao Xuan... After Xiao Tang received the news from Huainan West Road, the first thing he thought of was not Yang Yao, but more importantly, he felt
What is surprising is that Gao Xuan, a figure who has made a name for himself in the history of China's cold weapons and naval forces, and recorded the shipbuilding technology of this era.
Just like when Xiao Tang first met Ling Zhen, a generation of research and development in the field of technology must go through a long and tiring process. And Xiao Tang also knows very well that the reason why he was able to hit it off with Ling Zhen in the first place, in
Being able to communicate tirelessly is also because he can throw out a concept. However, despite the limitations of the times, Ling Zhen of this era, with his understanding of relevant professional fields, was able to give Xiao Tang what he wanted.
The suggestion is clear in one point, and it is just right to reflect the development and progress that China's history should have in various technologies, and at the right time, it will once again give this field the opportunity to develop rapidly...
Therefore, Meng Kang, Ye Chun, and Xiao Tang have always reused them as capable ministers to supervise the construction and improvement of large and small warships. However, Gao Xuan devoured this because he was only assisting the rebels in the Song Dynasty and built it repeatedly. Before the steam engine appeared,
He was a figure who had brought paddle-steamer water warfare to the greatest possible extent in his era. Xiao Tang felt that he had something to say with him.
Now it was putting the cart before the horse. After hearing that Gao Xuan was among the people who came to seek help, Xiao Tang couldn't help but think from another level. It didn't matter whether the regime changed or not, at least administering the government at that time would bring benefits.
Considerations that will affect future generations of Chinese civilization... After thinking about it, I finally thought of the rightful master who came to surrender...
