In late August, the monsoon moved northward and raindrops spread all over the northern region, easing the scorching heat caused by high temperatures, but also turning the northern region into a vast ocean.
Fortunately, there are few people in the north, otherwise it would have been another big disaster.
In the mountain valleys, raging floods continue.
Outside Jin Guojun's tent, which had already been prepared for flood control, the originally dry river valley had turned into a big river, and the surging water flowed around the camp like thousands of horses collapsing.
Under the rain curtain, the weather lanterns flickered, and apart from the pattering rain, there was no other movement in the camp.
"Damn it!"
Wanyan Wenqi leaned back on the Taishi chair, but the pinched deformed brush in his hand revealed the unwillingness and twitching in his heart.
No one expected that a warrior who had the courage to face war and would show his sword immediately when faced with any challenge would start the appeasement policy this year. The army would be unable to retreat, and hundreds of miles of defense lines would turn into iron walls. They would not fight you at all, but would Drag with you.
Is this still the Wu Dynasty?
Is this still a warrior who regards offense as the best means of defense?
The key point was delayed for half a year, through the warm spring, through the early summer heat, through the scorching heat, and until the beginning of autumn.
Damn Akito, without Akito's support, with the military's financial and material resources, how could the Wu Dynasty have the capital to start a war on two fronts and appease the two fronts?
But is this the answer?
Behind all unusual actions, there must be a root cause. What Wanyan Wenqi had to do was to find the warrior's true trump card from all the clues. Only in this way could he escape from this war with dignity.
As for winning this battlefield and entering the territory of Youzhou of the Wu Dynasty, let alone Wanyan Wenqi, even if the Jurchens were united, it would not be possible.
In this battle, what he wanted was to contain him in exchange for resources and support from the Song people.
"What is the warrior's trump card?"
I can't figure it out. Wanyan Wenqi really can't figure it out.
Bang bang bang...
At this moment, a heavy sound of treading water was heard in the handsome tent. Before Wanyan Wenqi could react, three figures in a panic and covered in mud rushed directly into the tent. The mud stars outside the tent splashed into the camp and turned into pools. Dirty.
Seeing this, Wanyan Wenqi's eyes narrowed.
Grassland people should not care about etiquette and etiquette, but Wanyan Wenqi, who has been in the customs for many years and wants to continue his grandfather's great achievements, imitates the Liao people and promotes the Sinicization of Jurchens in everything, but then develops a mysophobia and is not kind to the same clan. Taking care of his own tribe, he feels disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
"Report!"
Under the staring gaze, Jia La Ezhen, who had just rushed in, tightened his body suddenly, his kneeling movements faltered, and he almost hit the clean and gorgeous blanket in the tent.
"speak!"
Looking at Jia La E Zhen, who was doing it himself, Wanyan Wenqi stood up from the Grand Master, took out a clean, steaming face towel from a plate of exquisite bamboo baskets, and threw it at the visitor.
"The new guest reported that Landi, the Marquis of Wu, led two thousand cavalry, and raided the Holy Mountain three days ago, captured His Majesty, and captured thirty-two royal families including the First Prince, the Second Prince, and the Fifth Prince. They succeeded and kidnapped the Grand Master, the Prime Minister, and the Sixth Prince. Sixty-four people including Shangshu fled westward to the Sanhan area!"
The person's face was pale and the corners of his mouth were purple.
It was obviously a scorching summer, but as soon as these words came out, the entire camp seemed to have fallen into the harsh winter. On both sides, more than a dozen military clerks, Sima, and generals stood up suddenly.
Surprise, horror, fear, confusion...
They chose to follow Wanyan Wenqi, and naturally regarded the person in that position as the "false emperor". However, no matter how fake the fake emperor was, he himself was also the first person in the Jin Kingdom's legal system.
In order to transform the Jurchens, so that the Jin Kingdom could compete with the six Central Plains Kingdoms for supremacy in the future, even though Wanyan Wenqi had not yet ascended the throne, he had been constantly safeguarding that position over the years, raising the supremacy of the throne, and setting the tone for his future power.
Although they look down on the power and strength of the pseudo-emperor, they shouldn't do so.
Being kidnapped deep in his hometown, near the Holy Mountain, this kind of humiliation, being thrown into the home, could happen to him, should he?
"Randy!"
A roar was heard in the camp, and the whole camp was completely in chaos.
…
"Trash! Complete trash!"
"You can be kidnapped like this?"
"Why should we choose him?"
Someone was sitting on a pier in western Liaoning. The huge ship weighed anchor and the sails were hung high. The reins originally tied to the pier were gradually untied, while the Song people who had already boarded the ship were completely numb.
Compared with the warrior's critical attack, which was like pulling firewood from the bottom of the cauldron, the Jin people couldn't withstand it, and they couldn't even withstand it.
"Walk!"
"Leave quickly!"
The rumble of horse hooves came from the distance, and smoke and dust visible to the naked eye rose beyond the horizon. Seeing this scene, the Song leader who led the team shouted angrily.
He didn't want to become a victim of the Jurchens' internal fighting, and he didn't want to be a hostage sent by the Jurchens to the Wu Dynasty to seek peace. At the same time, if possible, he hoped that the news could be spread back to the Song Dynasty as soon as possible.
"No, ship!"
"Akito's Xuanwu gunboat!"
"Damn it!"
Shouts of surprise came from the sails. When everyone looked towards the sea, three giant ships appeared out of nowhere on the already rough sea.
Although the giant ship was far away, it was impossible to examine it carefully with the naked eye, but after seeing the general shape of the incoming ship, everyone felt that they were being pressed on the head by Akito's cannon.
Boom boom boom...
The rumble of artillery resounded through the sky like thunder from a distance, and the solid red artillery shells pierced the sky and hit directly.
"Jump ship, get off the ship!"
"Damn Akito, damn Imperial City Division, why can't such news be found?"
"Jump ship!"
Screams, roars, and nervous instructions were mixed together, and everyone on the entire ship was in chaos at this moment.
If they had a choice, they would rather be caught by the Jurchens. At least the Jurchens would only bring shame to them, and if they were hit by artillery fire, it would be death.
Why die when you can live?
…
"Let me know, the ship will be sunk and the dock will be blown to pieces!"
On the Xuanwu gunboat, Song Jia, the Marquis of Pinghai, who was commanding the naval battle, put down his telescope, pulled out a red flag and threw it directly behind the person on the command platform.
After forming an alliance with the warriors, there was a lot of trade between the Ming people and the Jurchens. The port in front of them was even more invested by Ming Dynasty merchants. For this sea area, the soldiers in the fleet even came to this sea area several times as ordinary boatmen. It can be said that Whether it is sea or land, they are familiar with it.
But what could happen?
Blow up the Song people's ships, cut off the Song people's opportunity to send messages back home, delay the Jurchen civil strife, and gain the initiative in the Xuzhou battlefield.
Blow up this seaport where Ming people once worked hard to win the favor of their allies.
The alliance between Ming and Wu has mutual interests, so it is destined not to be too long-term, but there will be a honeymoon period of more than ten years, or even twenty or thirty years. The Ming Dynasty is now in a lot of troubles, and the people of Ming are not willing to be ruined or short-term. , the honeymoon period with Wu Dynasty.
It's just a seaport, and they will blow up any more.
