Eight hundred and eighty-eighth chapter Yangzhou
When Zhao Kuangyin thought of the fact that the treasury that was not rich had added bad news, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Can't go on like this anymore!"
Zhao Kuangyin said with a dark face: "The traitors in the southern country are undead. They want to use pirates to rob money and replenish their consumption, and can also attack the Song Dynasty by the way. This is extremely bad."
"The navy in the Nanchi must speed up the training. If this continues, the court will really not be able to stand it."
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Guangyi said in a deep voice, raised his head and analyzed: "In my opinion, the south has always been rich, with few wars and no shortage of taxes. He mobilized tens of thousands of people to rob, but we also killed and injured many soldiers, and they still gained something."
"So, is it possible that the South China is short of money?"
"Impossible!" Zhao Pu looked at the King of Jin like a fool and couldn't help but veto: "If you don't say anything else, the taxes of Wu Yue alone are difficult to measure, and the entire south cannot be short of money."
"It may be because of his many years of military service?" Zhao Guangyi was dissatisfied and emphasized.
"This is not ruled out!"
Zhao Kuangyin whispered: "However, for the sake of the present, we still need to let these prefectures and counties defend well. In this case, there can only be one, not two."
"Yes--" Zhao Pu nodded and responded.
"It seems that the Song State has recovered well!"
After looking at the numbers in his hand, Li Jia couldn't help but sigh: "If we had time with him, the State of Song would be able to save military funds. This is not a good thing for us."
"Your Majesty's clarity." Although Sun Zhao was a little embarrassed about the emperor's behavior, he was defeated for the country in a row, and he could also suppress the Song State. He killed two birds with one stone and did a very good job.
"Some money is actually nothing to Song State!"
Sun Zhao said in a deep voice: "As long as you have a sufficient population, you can open up land and plant food. Therefore, according to my opinion, the Song people have already been prepared for this attack? The next time will definitely not be better."
"So? �
"The Song people suffered heavy losses and were difficult to replenish the lost people? At that time? If their army headed south, it would be difficult to replenish food and could only transport it from other places thousands of miles away. This is excellent."
"good!"
It's still your slightest-
Li Jia exclaimed, then said, "Just follow this method? From the river along the river to the Huai River, and even the coastal areas, I will plunder them. Then we will lose both people and money? I can't tell if there is any pain—"
When the other prime ministers heard this, they bowed their heads silently. This idea is really too dark and particularly harmful. It is a loss of the prime minister's demeanor, so they can only choose to default.
Li Jiaze nodded? A group of people with great face? When money and grain were put into storage, it was faster than anyone else.
"These people will be placed in the Political Affairs Hall!"
"Here--" Zhao Cheng bowed helplessly.
The rain continued until August, and the entire Huainan fell into a military disaster again.
At this time, the entire south had already learned of the news that the water bandits had attacked again, and the rich naturally ran to the city desperately just to survive.
The prefectures along the river in Huainan have mobilized troops to strengthen their defenses. The magistrate of Yangzhou and Li Chuyun were ordered to deploy defenses in Yangzhou, Tongzhou and Taizhou.
For this, he tried his best to gather a group of navy troops and gathered in Yangzhou.
It would be fine if other cities were plundered, but Yangzhou is different. This is the essence of the entire Huainan and there is no loss. In the previous incident, he was the only one who defended Yangzhou.
Therefore, Li Chuyun knew very well that the greed of the navy in the South Country would definitely not let Yangzhou go.
Upon hearing the news, the Navy of Tang came to the west, Li Chuyun was calm and calm. He first led the infantry to guard the city, and then led the cavalry out of the city, ready to fight. After ordering the weak navy to convey the news, he should not stop it.
"Damn it--" A big man immediately panicked when he saw the navy in front of him.
Although there were only hundreds of cavalrymen, thousands of infantrymen were coming up behind him, and his number was several times more than that, he knew that it would be fine for the navy to raid, but if he faced the battle, it would be a death sentence.
These soldiers and horses were blocking the docks, and it was too difficult to loot the people.
"Retreat—" the man waved his hand, and was in a good mood, and turned his head and said, "Retreat, let's log in again, I don't believe that you can keep blocking me."
When Li Chuyun saw him leave, he felt relieved, but then he was stunned again. It was not that simple. The Yangtze River was so wide that they must have landed in other lands.
"There are not many piers near the shore that are suitable for heavy water drafts. You patrol along the coast. If you find the enemy, you will immediately light up the wolf smoke!"
"Here--" The hundreds of cavalry behind him agreed, and then inspected one by one.
And just as the man was about to leave and landed in another place, suddenly five or six small boats were entangled and could not escape.
Just as he was about to rescue, he suddenly saw dozens of small boats rushing towards him, carrying reeds, exploding in flames. When the sea breeze in the east was blowing violently, it rushed to the east side of the warship and burned.
Suddenly, the fire soared into the sky, the oil was full of oil, and the smoke was rolling when it burned. The fire of more than a dozen ships of reeds was even more amazing. It was like wildfires all over the mountain, and it was roasted a hundred steps away.
The fire spread to other warships in the east wind. Soon a large Zhou army ship on the front ignited a raging fire.
"This is the smell of hot tinder!" I smelled the smell in my nose, and saw that the water could not be destroyed. The man didn't know where he had fallen into the trap. He was probably ready for it and let the boat hide at the dock.
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly. If the ship is burning, don't worry, as long as the person is alive."
Looking at the boat rolling with thick smoke, the man gritted his teeth and stared at Li Chuyun on the shore, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, the Song people should not be underestimated. If they suffer a loss this time, they will definitely take revenge next time."
Immediately, he left decisively to avoid implicating more ships and people.
The soldiers on the warship had no time to put out the fire. The flames raged in the wind and were burned to death when they approached. The soldiers on the deck were in chaos. After receiving the order of abandoning the ship, they hurried into the water and were rescued.
Fortunately, they were not wearing armor, so the consequences were unimaginable.
"Command, more than 100 people were killed or injured, and five ships were destroyed-"
After learning the news, he couldn't help but feel very angry. He no longer cared about robbery and hurried to go east and went to sea.
"The general was brave and used a small trick to burn dozens of ships and captured thousands of people. It's really gratifying!"
The Yangzhou Troupe Training Commander was standing by and quickly laughed and praised him.
