Tianjin belonged to Yuyang in the early years. Maritime transportation flourished in the Ming Dynasty. Wu Dynasty intended to go to sea and changed the water transportation mode that originally relied only on canals to combined maritime transportation. Therefore, North Tongzhou Dacang, Tianjin, Dagukou, Haihe Port, etc. The docks are all merged together.
"After arriving at the shore, organize people to write a letter home. Don't leave the camp within three days. I have a hunch that we will move soon. Life or death is unpredictable here, so everyone should be more prepared!"
It was late July, and rumors of farce within the Jin Kingdom were spreading. In order to prove that Wanyan Wenqi had not started a war, but also intensified the intensity of friction between the two parties, a large number of Jurchen cavalry dispersed to fight against the Wu Dynasty's cavalry and the barren mountains. There is tit-for-tat confrontation in the pastures, plains, and towns.
Today I will cut off a good road for you, and tomorrow I will build a floating bridge for you. It will be fun for you to come and to me.
But every general can see that Wanyan Wenqi doesn't want to fight at this time. There are a lot of things waiting for him to solve internally. Now he takes the initiative to launch a battle. If he wins, everything will be easy, but if he loses, Wanyan Kangtai may have to bear the consequences. Pay it.
The Jin people didn't want to fight, so Nian Run was naturally happy to see him.
Youzhou does not have the resources that the Wu Dynasty needs. What is really needed? The chess pieces distributed among them will also be transported back. Coupled with the nearly half-year winter break, taking Youzhou will only increase the defensive pressure, and there is no benefit at all.
"It can't really be..." Zhang Busan had a strange look on his face, his eyes full of longing, trying to find an answer on Randy's face.
"Maybe it's not what you think. In two months, snow will begin to fall in Xuantu!"
When Tianjin Port arrived, a small sampan slowly came out of the harbor. It seemed to be the ship that the dock was responsible for guiding, but standing on it was someone from the Documents Department.
The sails were retracted, and the huge sea-going ship began to slow down. The paddles extended out of the hull, and after some operations, the ship was stopped.
The cable ladder was lowered, and the captain, Randy, and Zhang Busan were in place at the boarding port.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
The visitor was obviously very familiar with Randy. He faced Randy's chest punch and then punched Randy in the chest.
Putting aside the joy of reunion, Randy said with a straight face, "Now that you are here, can I assume that the plan is about to begin?"
The visitor did not answer but kept to himself and said, "The Mountain Founding Festival of the Kingdom of Jin this year has been decided. It will be celebrated on August 15th, the same day as the Mid-Autumn Festival of us Han people. The location was chosen at the foot of Hulan Hada Mountain. The little emperor will celebrate it on August 15th." We left Xuantu on the ninth day of the lunar month and are expected to arrive on the thirteenth day of the eighth month."
Hulan Hada is located in Xinbin County, Xuantu, where the mausoleum of Wanyan Aguda is buried. In the internal written records of the Jin Kingdom, Hulan Hada is also called the ancestral mountain, and is the ancestral land second only to Black Mountain and Baishui.
The historical background is nothing, but it can't hold up the sacrifices and activities every year, which lifts him up step by step.
Good guy!
Listening to the words of the visitor, Zhang Busan said in his heart, "Good guy, it's really what he thought. What kind of bad luck did the Jurchens have? There were conflicts on the front line, and now they are going to steal their homes again, and the case record department has taken away their The situation is clearly understood.
"What troops does the little emperor have by his side?"
The little emperor who left Xuantu Palace was definitely easier to catch and frightened than the one who lived in the palace.
The imperial city of the Jin Kingdom was far less than the imperial palace of the Han Dynasty, but after all, it was built in accordance with the construction regulations of the imperial palace, and the water content was also the water content of the imperial city.
"The little emperor and his good son got together. There was internal strife some time ago. The little emperor directly sent 20,000 troops and horses. He is really a model of fatherly kindness and filial piety." The visitor chuckled.
"If I remember correctly, the total number of soldiers and horses listed by the little emperor is only 60,000, and 20,000 of them are the admirals of the Eight Gates of Xuantu, right?" Zhang Bushan looked surprised, "Will he be transferred to the infantry commander's yamen? Fifth Battalion, right?”
According to them, they have been in contact with the Jurchens all year round to get the information.
Today, the army of the Jin Kingdom is roughly divided into two parts.
One part is the Eight Banners system inherited from the ancestor Wanyan Aguda. This part was basically eroded by Wanyan Wenqi. If the little emperor's eldest son Wanyan Kangtai had not borrowed the power of his father-in-law to win a flag, the Jin Kingdom royal family would have inherited one. There is no chance to get involved in the Eight Banners.
The second piece is that after the founding of the Jin Kingdom, they followed their example to form a battalion and guard system, but Wan Yan Wenqi still took 30% of it. It was really in the hands of the little emperor. Only the guards, Luan Yiwei, and infantry commanded the five battalions under the Yamen. , and the three battalions under the eight admirals.
It sounds good, but in fact, not many of these troops have actually seen blood, and the third battalion under the Eighth Admiral is simply a rogue.
The only ones with real combat effectiveness were the five battalions of the infantry command yamen, totaling 30,000 people.
Without these 30,000 people, the little emperor would have been ignored by Wanyan Wenqi.
The visitor gave Zhang Busan a thumbs up, "According to the information we found out, the young emperor is very relieved about Hulan Hada. Luan Yiwei only brought half of the people with him, so he said he was saving money."
If you save money, you may save your own life.
The number of people in Luanyi Palace is only over 3,000, which is half of it. In addition, the eight admirals are responsible for the security of Xuantu City and they will definitely not be taken away. Counting the accompanying officials, their families and servants, During the Mountain Opening Festival, there were only three to four thousand people surrounding the little emperor, and most of them were burdensome.
"Okay, this is very tempting!" Zhang Busan couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the little emperor of Jin Kingdom.
The visitor smiled and said, "Of course, we can't rule out temporarily sending additional manpower, but even if we want to send more people, the little emperor has no one he can trust."
"Okay, you are ready to dock. We will gather at Shengxing Racecourse in three days. You still have ten days to prepare."
The ocean currents in the bay are smooth up and down. It doesn't take long to sail north from Tianjin before you come into contact with the clockwise ocean currents surrounding the northern part of the Bohai Bay. People can be sent to Liaoxi in less than four or five days.
…
"What's going on?"
Lao Pu walked into the handsome tent. Now Nian Run still looked like a jade-faced young man. He had an unkempt beard and sunken eyes.
It is the first time to preside over such a big battle. If the military style of the Wu Dynasty is used and Nian Run has more than 20 years of military experience, no matter how well he can perform, there is still no problem in following the example, but now the focus is on defense. , after the fight was supplemented by containment, not to mention the great pressure on Nian Run, officers at all levels felt like their hands were tied.
Anyone who understands military affairs knows that the confrontation stage is often the stage with the strongest intensity of confrontation and the highest casualties. Many people will die outside for various reasons without even waiting for a chance to receive treatment.
Battles, decisive battles can still be mixed, small-scale conflicts are either your death or my death. When the death list is issued every ten days, Nian Run's hands are fighting.
"We are almost ready. Let's start early the day after tomorrow. In the next month, I guarantee that no troops will turn back to Xuantu!"
Nian Run was spinning the charcoal pen in his hand, and it was finally coming to an end. He only needed to hold people back.
"Then let's do it. The weather on the grassland is good this year. It is destined to be a warm winter. Don't give the Jin Kingdom a chance to counterattack. I have also brought the money you want. Work hard and don't let yourself down." Lao Pu said in a deep voice. .
