In order to comply with Yu Yunwen's request, the three hundred "soldiers" also studied very hard.
But the more they studied, the less likely they felt that they would survive.
Because they were not confident enough that they could successfully demolish the dam and return to the Southern Song Dynasty and their families safely after the flood.
However, Yu Yunwen told them not to think so.
"I know that this is a very risky thing for you, but you must know more clearly that this is not only a battle for the Song Dynasty, but also a battle for your own self-protection. If the Song Dynasty cannot withstand the Ming Dynasty, If the country attacks, Lin'an will fall. Once Lin'an falls, will your family be able to survive alone?
As a traitor to the Ming Dynasty, you betrayed the Ming Dynasty and publicly declared the crimes of the Ming Dynasty. These actions have long been known to the Ming Dynasty. You have no retreat. The only way forward is to live and die with the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty survives, then You live, the Song Dynasty dies, you also die without a burial place! "
The three hundred "soldiers" were very clear about this matter. As traitors, they had no way out and could only follow the path of the Southern Song Dynasty to the dark side.
The Southern Song Dynasty withstood it, and their family could at least survive.
The Southern Song Dynasty could not bear it, and they and their families would die even worse.
Su Yonglin will never let them go.
Absolutely not.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost in place, Yu Yunwen began to convey the action plan to them.
The plan of action was not to take the land route, but to take the water route, or rather, the sea route.
The Ming Dynasty has a vast coastline, and it is impossible to fortify every part of the coastline. Therefore, compared with the many checkpoints and terrifying virgin forests that would be encountered by taking the land route, it is indeed more convenient for them all to reach the Ming Kingdom by sea.
After landing, they had to use their ingenuity, use the skills they had used to try their best to escape from the Ming Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, use all their energy to feed themselves, never hold anything back, and then successfully reach their destination.
According to the exploration by the Southern Song Dynasty spies who risked their lives, they determined that the relatively weak dams in the Yellow River project were in Caozhou and Shanzhou. As long as they arrived in Caozhou and Shanzhou and destroyed the relatively fragile Caozhou and Shanzhou dams, the Yellow River could be completed. burst.
Once the Yellow River bursts and the Ming Dynasty's rear is completely destroyed, this war will simply not be able to continue and the troops will definitely withdraw. By then, the Southern Song Dynasty will have a chance to breathe, regain its momentum, and even launch the Northern Expedition to teach the Ming Dynasty a harsh lesson. country.
"The safety of the Song Dynasty rests on you. You are not only burdened with the expectations of your family, but also the expectations of the Song Dynasty. If you can successfully achieve your goals and return to Lin'an, the Song Dynasty will definitely give you official status. From now on, we will have no worries about food and clothing, and will be prosperous and wealthy!"
Yu Yunwen picked up a bowl of wine and presented it to the three hundred "soldiers" present.
Three hundred "soldiers" with different expressions raised their wine bowls, drank the farewell wine seemingly solemnly, then arranged their clothes and various equipment, and were ready to set off.
Yu Yunwen sent a special person to arrange for them to secretly go to the coastal area to take a boat. They will take three boats to Juzhou in the Shandong region of the Ming Dynasty. They will land at Juzhou, cross Yizhou and Tengzhou, enter Shanzhou and Caozhou, and then they can start the operation. .
This route is relatively short and relatively safe. It is not an important military defense area of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, as long as you can successfully land, you will have a high probability of successfully reaching your destination and starting to carry out sabotage operations.
"I wish you all success!"
Yu Yunwen personally saw them off.
Three hundred "soldiers" said their final goodbyes to their families, and then embarked on the journey with a funeral mentality.
They set out from Lin'an on April 21, the fifth year of Hongwu, which was the same day the Southern Song army went out. They arrived in Haiyan County two days later. In the evening, they secretly boarded three ships. Under the operation of skilled boatmen, they secretly began to sail towards the Yangtze River. Heading to Juzhou.
Perhaps no one told them that the landing place they chose was the landing place where Su Yonglin took the Su family to Shandong to rebel.
They boarded the ship with various emotions and embarked on their journey in an uneasy mood. No one knew where their fate would go.
Captain Zhou Yunxiang and deputy captain Qian Yiduo, who were in charge of the operation, got on the ship and chatted together on the deck, trying to relieve the tension in their hearts.
However, as they chatted, they found that this did not seem to reduce their tension, but instead increased their anxiety.
"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place? If I had known that I would end up like this when I came to the Song Dynasty, I might as well just hand over the land in exchange for a sum of money and live peacefully in my hometown..."
Qian Yiduo cried softly while wiping his tears.
Zhou Yunxiang was also in a bad mood. Although he was not in tears, he still felt a trace of regret.
He thought that he would never compromise with Su Yonglin at the beginning. He was disgusted with this emperor who supported the mud-legged emperor, but he did not have the courage to confront him, so he could only nourish the Southern Song Dynasty.
At first, he thought that Runnan Song would be able to live the same life as before, relaxed and happy, but he never expected that it would end like this.
Now the Southern Song Dynasty actually wants people like them who escaped to rescue them. This...
Where is the logic in this?
No one reasoned with him. He thought that the reasonable Southern Song Dynasty would only tell him that if he did not repay the Song Dynasty, his whole family would starve to death. Only those who repaid the Song Dynasty would get good treatment, because the Song Dynasty had limited funds and could not support idle people. .
What else could they do?
"It is difficult to hand over the land. Now we know that the outcome will be handing over the land. If we turn back time and go back to that time, we will not hand over the land anyway. Who wants to live a life of mud and mud again?"
Zhou Yunxiang sighed and said slowly: "My ancestors are also old farmers. They worked hard and diligently to save the family business, and accumulated it little by little. Only then did we have the family business we have today. This is the family business accumulated by five generations. , If you say no, there will be no more. Who can bear it?
He, Su Yonglin, is the emperor, invincible in the world, and he can do whatever he wants. But he has gone too far and wants to take away my five-generation family fortune without any reason. What wrong did I do? Did I rebel? No, I even paid him taxes!
When the Jin people asked me to pay more taxes, I refused to pay them. They wanted to send people to collect my taxes by force. I took the farmers out with wooden sticks to meet their tax collectors. After all, those tax collectors did not dare to embarrass me, but Where is he, Su Yonglin? They are all emperors, why would he go so far? "
Qian Yiduo cried for a while, stopped crying, wiped his eyes and sniffed.
"What you said makes sense. Emperor Su has gone too far. If I don't rebel and I don't resist taxes, he will take my family property if he says it will be taken away from me. He insists on giving land to those mud-legged people. Shouldn't those mud-legged people Is your son his long-lost biological father?"
The two of them scolded Su Yonglin one by one. In the end, they got tired of scolding and realized that no matter how much they scolded, Su Yonglin would not miss a bite of food tonight, so they stopped scolding and started thinking about the future.
If they still have a future.
