Chapter 328: Yashan
The wheel of history is still rolling forward with an unstoppable momentum, even faster than Zhao Hao's estimate, and only three days after meeting with Liu Huang, Zhang Shijie led his troops back to the island. The pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion immediately convened the deacons of the people, saying that the enemy reinforcements in Leizhou had arrived and could not do anything, Ali Hague sent troops to control the strait, and the road to Zhancheng was no longer safe, and he should choose another place to stop. Some of the ministers suggested that since the southbound road had been blocked, and the enemy army was moving north, it was better to turn to Qiongzhou to gain a foothold.
Zhang Shijie smashed the table and the bench on the spot and resolutely disagreed, thinking that since he couldn't go south, he simply went north to the coast of Guangdong to find a place to go. Seeing his anxious white face, everyone can only obey, as for the emperor's opinion, everyone seems to have forgotten to ask for it. So everyone packed their luggage and set sail again with the coffin of Emperor Daxing, all the way to the south. After drifting at sea for more than ten days, Zhang Shijie chose his destination in Yashan, an overseas area in Xinhui County.
"It's finally here!" Early in the morning, Zhao Yu went out of the cabin and boarded the deck of the giant boat to look at the island, and couldn't help but sigh again, he remembered that he had been to this area in his previous life to go to sea for sea trials, and he was very confused at that time, a sea channel with only 100 meters wide was said to be the place of naval warfare in those years, and a hill on the side was the old place of the late Song Dynasty Palace, in his eyes, this place was not a natural hazard, and there was no danger to follow.
From this hill, it is impossible to confront the Tangbei and Tsui Mountains in terms of location, size, and topography, and it is impossible to accommodate more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians. In particular, that waterway can't hold more than 2,000 warships anyway, let alone a naval battle, they can be used as a playground, and they have to find a gap when they jump into the sea. And one of the main points of contention in the previous life was why Zhang Shijie would move against the front and move to Yashan in such a dangerous situation, and he couldn't understand it, thinking that it was his willfulness that he chose such a Jedi to make the Song Dynasty die here.
Now Zhao Yu is relieved at first sight, the sea where they berth the boat is wide, the water of Yinzhou Lake goes out to sea from here, and there is Yashan Mountain in the east and Tanghua Mountain in the west. Surrounded by two mountains, extending into the sea, only a mile wide, this is the real cliff gate. Inside the gate is a natural sheltered harbor, and the tide rises every day, so you can take advantage of the tide to fight. The tide falls, and you can guard against the danger. From the topography point of view, it is an excellent strategic place to attack, retreat and defend! The other question, although not fully solved, also made him understand why Xingchao was stationed here.
First of all, it is close to Guangzhou, which has just been promoted to Xianglong Mansion, which is easy to command the world and conducive to the retreat of boats. And Yashan Island is more than 80 miles around, stretches 28 miles, and is 34 miles, it is a larger island in the sea, and there are people settled on it. Before the arrival of the Xing Dynasty, the Song army garrisoned here and set up barracks and cliff cottages.
In addition, Zhao Yu also heard a rumor, which is more idealistic. said that Song Taizu had asked **** Yi who could do things in the future, and replied: "One Bian, two Hangzhou, three Fujian and four Guangzhou", and replied: "Every cliff will stop." Obviously, the Zhao and Song dynasties moved from Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan) to Hangzhou (Lin'an), then to Fujian (Fujian), and then to Guangdong, with Yashan as the final destination. But some people think that this place is like the feng shui 'rhinoceros moon-looking' shape of the Zhao and Song royal families, and the Xing Dynasty hopes to make a comeback here.
From the layman's point of view of Zhao Hao, this place can be called the throat place, which is close to the mainland and borders the ocean, and if it can be sorted out, it can also be used as a base. If Kublai Khan knew that ****** was still there, he would have sent heavy troops to attack, and this place was too small and had no strategic depth, so he could only enter the sea again. In particular, the land on this island is scarce, and even if every inch of land is planted with food, it will not be self-sufficient to achieve the yield of 'satellites', so it will not be sustainable as a place to go on as a dynasty.
Thinking that he still took this dead move by hiding left and right, although Zhao Hao was a little helpless, he still had to fight to turn the game around. Therefore, after he arrived on the island, he sent someone to try to re-establish contact with the bureau so that he could keep in touch with Qiongzhou and obtain first-hand information from the outside world. In addition, he ordered the soldiers who went ashore to fetch water to survey the terrain of the island and draw a map, especially the various seas and waterways in detail. At the same time, his workshop was still held on the giant boat and was not affected.
After this period of training, the results are not visible for the time being, but the soldiers of the Guards Battalion are basically proficient in using numbers to calculate the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 100 places, solve simple application problems, and break sentences with punctuation. The good news is that some children with strong comprehension ability have been able to comprehend the art of war and philosophy contained in the story, and look at problems from a tactical and strategic perspective. And Zhao Hao thought that the biggest result was to bring him closer to everyone, and a good atmosphere of loyalty and love for the people was formed......
After the arrival of the Song army, Zhang Shijie and others sent people into the mountains to cut wood, temporarily build a palace at the foot of the western mountain, and build a camp in order to settle the hundred officials and the accompanying soldiers and civilians. At the same time, the coffin of Emperor Daxing was moved to the home of Ma Nanbao, a waiter of the Ministry of Works, and temporarily parked, and people were mobilized to go to Jingao, which is not far away, to choose a blessed land to build a mausoleum. The Xing Dynasty also urgently ordered the provincial and state capitals to recruit the Song family, non-commissioned officers, and righteous people from all over the country to lead the army and the king. At the same time, the garrison was stationed in and around Yashan, but for the time being, most of the people could only live in boats. The required food supplies were taken from the "four overseas states" such as western Guangdong and Qiongzhou. He also organized craftsmen to build warships and make instruments. At the same time, infantry and sailors stepped up their drills and were ready to meet the enemy at any time.
Zhao Yu thought that he would wait like this, but he didn't expect to encounter a heart-stopping thing immediately. The successive defeats had made the courtiers realize that it seemed impossible to defeat the Mongols, so they brought up the old story again to negotiate peace with the Mongols on the occasion of the new emperor's succession. After the discussion of the ministers, a draft of the proposal and edict signed by the rulers and nodded by the queen mother was drafted, and it was delivered to Zhao Yu's desk. This is not because they want to cede power to the emperor, but because he can use the seal to take effect.
Zhao Yu sneered and threw it aside after reading it, this please and the edict should not be bad, the words are gorgeous, the sentences are smooth, the words are sincere, and the composition of the college entrance examination is estimated to be a full score, but the content He thought that it was not as good as a piece of butt paper. Although the edict was written in line with the principle that the Great Song Dynasty had always asked for and did not surrender, the title of minister, the number of people, the tribute, and the title of nephew were not left behind, but only asked to stay in the land of Liangguang to be the king, in fact, there was no difference from surrender.
Think about how he came all the way to be an emperor across thousands of years, just to be a grandson of the Mongolians, how can the angry young Zhao Hao, who cherishes the motherland and has noble patriotic sentiments, endure it, and of course he will not agree. And people don't wait for him to play, and only let him carry the black pot, then he won't agree, and he didn't reply for two days. He could afford it, but the ministers couldn't wait, so they called a court meeting early in the morning to inform him to participate in the court meeting...... (To be continued.) )
