(Sorry, the whole city has been powered out for a whole day! Upload it as soon as possible after a call. Because I always code the next day’s chapter the day before, so I can upload it for ten minutes, and it will not be delayed. However, I didn’t even give me a minute of power... I have no choice. There have been frequent power outages recently. If there are similar situations, please compare today)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The beginning of the third year of Jianyan is a joy and a sorrow for Tianshu City.

What was happy was that within the control of the Hedong Road power in Tianshu City, there was a peaceful and peaceful situation. Millions of soldiers and civilians had a long-lost Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, all the soldiers of the army returned to the camp and entered the combat equipment. At the same time, the Tianzhu Army also began its third expansion. Compared with the previous two times, the scale and number of people this time were the largest.

The 600,000 Hebei rebels and refugees were strong and capable, and there were no less than 100,000. If it was the Song or Jin army's soldiers, it would naturally be better and better, and all the young and old would be suitable. However, the Tianzhu Army's soldiers were constantly striving for excellence. The 100,000 healthy men and the final candidates could enter the Tianzhu Army, but the less than 50,000 people were able to enter the Tianzhu Army.

These new recruits will undergo three months of military training to eliminate the weak and retain the strong. Only 30,000 soldiers will eventually become soldiers, and the remaining 20,000 will only be auxiliary soldiers or logistics.

In the battle of Liulinpu, more than 8,000 Jin army were killed. Most of the elite soldiers such as Jurchens, Khitans, Bohai, etc. were captured by 5,000 people, most of them were Han signing troops. There were nearly 3,000 people who were willing to join the Tianzhu Army. In this way, the third phase of the Tianzhu Army expanded the army exactly 50,000.

Di Lie decided to train the 50,000 new troops until June. The reason for the establishment of the army was that the first half of a year before the musket production could be included in all Class A brigades; the second was that in June, it was the official graduation time for the first batch of Taiyuan Military Academy students.

By then, the troops will be trained, the weapons and equipment will be sufficient, and the grassroots non-commissioned officers will be provided, and an army with initial combat effectiveness will be formed immediately.

Tianshu City is not short of steel (most of the millions of kilograms of fine iron seized several times), there are no shortage of armor and horses, and now there is no shortage of soldiers. After these 50,000 elite soldiers are trained, the Tianzhu Army will have 100,000 elite soldiers, including tens of thousands of iron cavalry and a team of 10,000 muskets.

"Give me 100,000 soldiers, I can sweep all the visible golden men on the Central Plains; give me a team of 10,000 muskets, I can fight to Huining Mansion and drink with you in Shangjing Palace!"

This was Di Lie's speech at the military expansion meeting. At that time, the generals were filled with blood. Needless to say, Yang Zaixing, He Yuanqing, and Dong Xian were like Yue Fei. He couldn't help but shake his feet and responded loudly.

When the brothers gathered afterwards, Xu Qing even said bluntly: "It's a pleasure to fight such a commander! I didn't say that, I'm going to be the deputy brigade of the Tianzhu Army."

Zhang Xian also said: "Since joining the army, the most enterprising generals, the only one who has seen is Di Army leader."

Yue Fei finally concluded: "We have several brothers who have been in the army for seven years to defend our country and drive out the enemy. Now, when Fei looks at it, only the Heavenly Slaughter Army can do it today. Fei should not care about this body and fight bravely. He will never give up until he destroys the Northern Captains! If he violates this oath, he will be like this!"

The palm was like a knife, and it was cut off suddenly, and a corner of the table was broken.

The forces in Hedong, Tianshu City are in great shape, which is certainly gratifying, but the sub-bases of Tianshu City - Liangshan and Jinan - are worrying.

As early as mid-November, before the Battle of Liulinpu ended, Di Lie issued instructions to Liangshan and Jinan, surrounded by heavy troops of the Jin army: The enemy's strength should be strong, and it should avoid the real and attack the virtual. It should not resist hard. If it can be blocked, it should be blocked. If it cannot be blocked, it should retreat. One city and one land are not enough to defend, and it is the best strategy to preserve its strength.

Where to retreat? Di Lie pointed out two directions: Jinan brigade should turn toward the northern base of the Bohai Bay, Caofeidian - this is really a complimentary word for turning forward rather than retreat. When the Jin army comes south, I go north; when the Jin army hits my heart, I hit the enemy's waist and eyes. When transporting five thousand troops to Caofeidian, at a critical moment, it can definitely become a sharp sword to cut the Jin army in half.

Where is the Tianbo Navy in Liangshan? You can lead your army to sail south along Qinghe, downstream of the Si River, and find a suitable foothold on both sides of the Yangtze River. Take advantage of the Jin army's advantage that it is difficult to attack and watch the fire from the other side of the river. If the situation allows, you can wait for an opportunity to attack and attack the Jin army. If it really doesn't work, you can also enter the East China Sea along the Yangtze River, where there is another foothold, the nameless island on the Shengsi Islands.

In late November, Jinan and Liangshan had transferred the people in the region in batches. The people could not take them away, so they could only leave the war zone and scatter them into the villages on the spot. We will endure it for the time being, and hope that the royal army will fight back as soon as possible.

In early December, the Jin army easily captured Tokyo. The troops stationed in Jingdong Road (Shandong Area) threatened Han Shizhong's troops and Zhang Jun's troops on the flanks of the Jin army, fearing that the retreat route would be cut off, so they hurriedly withdrew. Once these two Song troops left, Wanyan Chang's army, which had lifted the flank threat, immediately launched the Jinan offensive. At the same time, in Puyang and Yuncheng areas, the Jin army, which formed an encirclement force against Liangshan, also began to attack Liangshan.

Wanyan Chang's army has 50,000, while Jinan brigades are only 5,000. With such a huge gap in force, Yang Zaixing, the number one brigade in the Tianzhu Army, would have no chance of winning. As the Jinan brigade, which is at the bottom of the Class B brigade (it has not been trained by the new recruits of the Tianzhu Army, and its equipment cannot be kept up, so it is to be at the bottom), there is no other choice except to run away.

On the third day of December, with the support of more than 50 large ships led by Jia Hu, deputy brigade commander of the Tianbo Navy in Liangshan, nearly 5,000 troops from Jinan brigade set sail and sailed along the Ji River into the vast sea of ​​​​the sea.

Wanyan Chang immediately led his troops to cross the Ji River, and Jinan fell. He then took advantage of the victory to conquer Qingzhou and the Song army's supply base Xuzhou, and seized a large amount of military supplies.

The headquarters of the Tianbo Navy in Liangshan was more rapid. Liangshanpo and Tianbo Navy were water when they went out, and they entered the reed marsh. The large ships entered the water and the small boats entered the storm. The Jin army had only the only way to look at the sky.

In fact, if it is just the 20,000 Jin army between Xiemao Ali and Chizhanhui, it may not be impossible to fight with the 5,000-day wave army water battle, muskets, and well-trained military advantages, and the winning range is very high. Because in addition to the relatively powerful thousand-man cavalry of Xiemao Ali, Chizhanhui's ten thousand-man cavalry, more than half of them are signing troops, and their strength is very frustrating. However, Wanyan Chang has 50,000 Jin army! In addition to the fall of Jinan, Liangshan can be said to be attacked from both sides.

In such a situation, it is not the best way to handle it or deal with it. The best way to deal with it is to use the advantages of the warships and lead the Jin army to the south of the Yangtze River. Once you arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, the crisscrossing water nets and ubiquitous attacks will soon cause the Jin army to fall into the battlefield quagmire they are completely unfamiliar with...

On the fifth day of the twelfth month, Xiemao Ali, Chizhanhui rushed into the empty Liangshan Village. In anger, he ordered arson.

The last group of soldiers who left the Broken Houzhou team looked at the black smoke rising from the familiar direction in the dense reed marsh, silently and looked sad and angry.

"We will definitely come back. The golden dog plays with fire, we play with water, the golden dog sets on fire today. Let them soak in the water in the future." said Yan Qilang, the commander of the battalion who led the team.

...

In the first month of the third year of Jianyan, Wanyan Zongfu set up the right deputy marshal in Tokyo Bianliang, and he was in charge of Tokyo himself, allowing Wushu to continue his army to attack the south.

Wushu immediately sent Wanyan Balisu, Yelu Mawu, and Wulindatai to lead 6,000 elite cavalry to enter Jianyan Chao to Yangzhou, and took Wanyan Yinshuke's son Wanyan Qiying Qianqi as the pioneer.

Because there was no blockage of the torrent in history, and Liu Guangshi, who was the commander of the Taiping Prefecture of Chuhao, Wuwei Army and Jiangning Prefecture, led the more than 10,000 troops leading north to the Huai River to block the enemy, without reaching the south bank of the Huai River or seeing the shadow of the Jurchen soldiers, all collapsed and fled, resulting in the Jin army being able to cross the Huai River smoothly and heading south to capture the Tianchang Army (now Tianchang, Jiangsu).

The long distance to Yangzhou is less than a hundred miles.

Because he didn't expect the Jin army to come so quickly, he didn't expect that Liu Guangshi, who was reliant on Gancheng, ran faster than the Jin army. Huang Qianshan, who was the left and right prime minister at the time, was caught off guard and did not know how to set up defenses. The Emperor of Jianyan, Zhao Gou, was still in the palace for pleasure, suddenly an eunuch came to report that the Jin soldiers were about to reach Yangzhou. Zhao Gou was frightened and lost his fertility. In panic, he had no time to call the ministers to discuss, so he immediately put on military uniforms, rode out of the city, and crossed the river to escape first.

The speed of the two left-behind cavalry was rushing Du Chong and Guo Zhongxun's army, chasing thousands of miles away, and driving the two left-behinds like dogs. Tens of thousands of troops were dispersed by one-third. When the second left-behind crossed the Yangtze River in one breath and finally managed to breathe evenly, he finally found that the army under him was less than 30,000.

When Balisu chased Sizhou (now Xuyi, Jiangsu), he was almost catching up with Du and Guo's army. At this time, Du and Guo were so happy that they directly pulled the army westward and headed towards Haozhou (now Fengyang, Anhui). Balisu's main task was to attack the Jianyan Dynasty. As a result, he had to "part ways" with Du and Guo, and watched them return from Haozhou to Chuzhou (now Chuxian, Anhui), and finally crossed the Yangtze River from Zhenzhou and fled.

And Balisu and his six thousand army were like a ferocious beast, rushing into the Jianyan small court, Yangzhou.

What is the result of a crazy cow rushing into kindergarten?

As the Jin soldiers approached Yangzhou, Zhao Gou hurriedly crossed the river. The residents of Yangzhou fought out of the city gate to escape, and countless people trampled to death. The Jin people rode to Guazhou, and more than 100,000 people had not crossed the river yet, and about half of them ran and fell into the river. Volume 7 of the Unofficial History "Qingbo Magazine" records: "Yangzhou suddenly crossed south, and there were many abandoned items in the Yangtze River. Later, the fishermen in Zhenjiang got a bag of Beizhu at the intersection of Xijinsha." Xijin was an important ferry between Zhenjiang and Yangzhou. "Crazy south" refers to the great defeat in Yangzhou in the third year of Jianyan.

Liu Guangshi's troops, who had just fled back to Yangzhou and were still in shock, were stranded in Jiangbei because of the lack of ferry boats when the Jin army attacked, and were mostly stranded in Jiangbei. They were invited to attack by the Jin army and suffered heavy losses. At that time, Yangzhou was in a place, and money, liquor and rice were transported from Jiangnan along the canal. Due to the failure of the sluice, thousands of transport ships were trapped in the canal. Except for a few that were destroyed by the war, most of the rest were seized by the Jin army.

After the Jin people occupied Yangzhou, they chased for thousands of miles because of their resentment, but they could not catch the two big fish (Zhao Gou and Empress Meng). In anger, they robbed the whole city and set fire to the city. More than 100,000 Yangzhou people were brutally massacred, and only a few thousand survived. This was the most miserable disaster in Yangzhou during the Southern Song Dynasty.

The above is the famous "Weiyang disaster" in the early Southern Song Dynasty.

The world knows that there will be "Ten Days of Yangzhou" in five hundred years later, but it is rarely heard that five hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Jurchens had committed heinous crimes against the Yangzhou people.
