The 38th National Master of the Golden Dynasty (I)
After the defeat of Yan Chang's army, the soldiers of the Song army approached Lin'an with a warp. The entire Jin army in Lin'an Mansion was shocked, and no one thought that Wanyan Changzhi would be defeated.
Although people who have been fighting for a long time know that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, once in a while, defeat is nothing? You must know that Wanyan Changzhi is the main planner of this southern expedition, and since the southern expedition, Wanyan Changzhi has repeatedly made military exploits, and no one in the Jin army doubts Wanyan Changzhi's ability, so this defeat can only show that Yang Yan is more powerful than Wanyan Changzhi.
What's more, in this battle, there were only more than 2,000 of the 6,000 Tiefutu dispatched by the Jin army, and the proportion of losses was so large that Dajin had never seen before. It was the first time that the Song army sent out to fight with the elephant army, which caused a great shock to the Jin army. Now almost the entire Jin army knows that the Song army has a special team, which uses a beast called an elephant to participate in the battle, which is more powerful than Tiefutu, and this time the Song army can win a big victory, all thanks to this team.
After hearing about some of the Jin soldiers who did not participate, they all inquired about the situation of the elephant like the Jin soldiers who had participated in the war, and the Jin soldiers who participated in the war in order to cover up the shame of their defeat, often exaggerated to others to describe the horror of the elephant army.
After some Jin soldiers heard about it, they went to the locals like Lin'an to inquire about elephants, and some of them who had seen elephants told the truth, but some people added the images of monsters seen in strange chronicles such as [Classic of Mountains and Seas] and [Sou Shen Ji] in order to scare Jin Jun, and the results obtained were naturally even more strange and indescribable. And the more exaggerated and outrageous it is, the more people believe it.
And the Song Dynasty mixed into Lin'an, and also took the opportunity to fabricate rumors in the city, saying that the Jin army invaded the south, but it was against the sky, in order to provoke the wrath of the heavens, and Min sent the divine beast to the lower realm to help the Great Song Dynasty and resist the Jin people. It may be said that Song Jun was able to ascend the throne of the world in the year of the weak crown, which is still the luck of inheriting the sky, so there is an auspicious beast born, assisting the Ming Lord, and the golden people should be difficult to return to the north and so on. Within a few days, rumors spread throughout Lin'an City, and people were panicked.
Wan Yanyong and the civil and military ministers of the Jin Kingdom are all people who have seen the world, so they naturally will not believe these so-called rumors. But these rumours must not sit idly by now. And at this time, the news of the defeat of the Jin country's naval army in Sanmen Bay came. The naval army of Sanmen Bay was burned down by the Song army, and the naval army lost nearly 500 warships, and now the entire sea is the world of the Southern Song Dynasty naval army. Not only that, the Song army also landed in Wenzhou, and it was completely possible to advance by land and water, and go straight to Lin'an. Moreover, in Jiangbei, the Song army also launched a fierce attack in Huaidong.
In the face of the deterioration of the battle situation step by step, Wan Yan Yong was also a little restless, and immediately issued an order to return to Yan Changzhi to enter the right. Fortunately, the current defense line of the Jin army, such as Fenshui, Tonglu, Xincheng and other places, is very close to Lin'an, but it is only about a hundred miles away, and the horses can rush back and forth in a day, and they are not afraid of delaying the military situation.
At the same time, in order to let the officials of the court understand where the Jin army lost in this battle, he specially ordered Zhang Hu to draw a picture of the appearance of the Song army's elephant soldiers, and personally brought it back to Lin'an and presented it to Wan Yan Yong, so as to give the ministers of civil and military affairs an intuitive understanding.
Wan Yan Yong can also be regarded as the emperor immediately, when he was King Ge, he participated in the Shunchang War, and the Wenchen of the Jin State was different from the Song Dynasty, almost from the military to the text, so everyone more or less, they all know some military, and more than half of them have also seen elephants, so everyone saw the image painted by Zhang Ge, and immediately understood a few points, in the face of such a behemoth, who to change but will inevitably suffer a big loss, so Wan Yan Changzhi's defeat this time can also understand a few points. It's just that no one thought when the Southern Song Dynasty would train such an elephant army.
However, although understanding is understanding, after Yan Yong looked at the picture, he still frowned, and couldn't think of any way to deal with the elephant army. Other ministers of civil and military affairs also had a lot of discussions, and everyone had different opinions. But no one can think of a good way.
In fact, I don't think that elephants are really invincible in the world. In the past few days, he has come up with several ways to deal with the elephant army, but no matter which one it is, he feels that it is not very reliable. Because Wanyan Changzhi has only fought with the elephant army once, his understanding of elephants is not very complete, and many situations are still in the stage of speculation, and I don't know if it is feasible.
This is not like when Yang Yan was in Pingnan, when Yang Yan had twelve elephants and enough time for him to study the strengths and weaknesses of elephants, as well as how to deal with elephants, and at the same time, it also allowed soldiers to spend a long time with elephants to eliminate the strangeness and fear of elephants. Moreover, when Yang Yan later formed the Elephant Army, he was able to make up for this weakness and give full play to the advantages of the Elephant Army as much as possible in the battle.
Therefore, for Wanyan Changzhi, if he wants to find a way to deal with the elephant army, it is best to be able to fight a few more battles with the Song army, and learn more about the characteristics of the elephant army, so as to make targeted arrangements. But now Wanyan Changzhi does not dare to fight easily, because compared with before the troops, the morale of the Jin army in Jiangnan at this time has been greatly reduced.
The morale of the Jin army was lowered, of course, not because of this defeat. Rather, it is because Dajin's southern expedition lasted nearly nine months, and if you add the time of mobilization, reorganization, and training before, most of the Jin soldiers left home for more than a year. For senior generals, in order to pursue meritorious service and worship generals, there may be nothing.
But for most ordinary soldiers, the mood of homesickness is getting better day by day, because they are constantly dying in the robes around them, and what most ordinary soldiers are looking forward to is not when they can sweep the world, but when this southern expedition will end, when they will be able to return to their hometowns safely, and have seen their parents, wives, and children who have been separated for a long time. The reason why it was able to maintain a certain degree of morale before that was because in the early stage of the Southern Expedition, the Jin army basically won consecutive battles, and victory was always exciting, so the negative emotions of the soldiers were suppressed.
But just as under the thick ice, the water is still moving quietly. With the loss of Huaixi, the defeat of Shouchang, the defeat at sea and a series of achievements, all the negative emotions finally broke out at this moment. In the subconscious of every Jin army, there is such a thought, because the elephant army is invincible, and there is no point in fighting any longer, so it is better to collect the troops and go home as soon as possible. Therefore, in such a situation, how could Wanyan Changzhi dare to easily send troops to battle to test the reality of the elephant army?
Fortunately, after Yang Yan won the victory in Shouchang, he did not take advantage of the victory to attack, but did not move, and turned to attack Chuzhou, Wenzhou, Ningguo Army and other places. But Wanyan Changzhi understood that Yang Yan was gradually clearing the periphery of Lin'an and preparing for the capture of Lin'an, especially after the Song army landed in Wenzhou, Yang Yan's troops were greatly replenished, and once the Song army began to attack Lin'an, it would be as fast as thunder.
After listening to Yan Changzhi's narration, Wan Yan Yong felt even more headache, was it difficult to get such an irreparable point this time for the Southern Expedition? Since the last time he was sick, although after careful recuperation, Wan Yan Yong has basically recovered, but after all, it has not been completely broken, and for a period of time, the Jin army has been sharpened, Wan Yan Yong is anxious about the battle situation every day, and the illness has relapsed. At this time, I was in a hurry, and I couldn't help coughing again, and I couldn't get up in one breath, so I fainted. The ministers of civil and military affairs were so panicked that they were all in a hurry, and they were busy calling the imperial doctor, and some people called for internal treatment to help Yan Yong to rest.
At this time, a close minister on duty at the head of the palace walked up to the Golden Palace to report something, and when he saw the chaos in the Golden Palace, he couldn't help but be a little at a loss, and at this time, everyone was busy rescuing Yan Yong, and no one noticed him.
After a long while, the officer on duty saw that no one was paying attention to him, and he didn't dare to delay for too long, so he boldly said: "Your Majesty, there is a ...... outside the palace now."
This shocked everyone, and before he could finish speaking, the servant Zhong Yi shouted sharply: "Confused, didn't you see Your Majesty fainting?" Your Majesty can't do it now, so let's wait until tomorrow to talk about anything! ”
The officer on duty was startled and wanted to turn back, but he was a little unwilling, but fortunately, the officer on duty was a golden man, and he knew the seriousness of the matter, so he said cowardly: "Prime Minister, this is not trivial, it is ......."
Fusan Zhongyi couldn't help but be furious, and immediately interrupted him: "What is not trivial, even if the sky falls, it must wait until tomorrow." ”
At this moment, Wanyan Yongji slowly woke up, and when he heard the words of the officer on duty, he said weakly: "If there is anything, let him tell it." ”
At this time, an imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty's health is important, so let's go and rest early, don't worry about it anymore." ”
Fusan Zhongyi, Wanyan Zongzheng, Wanyan Changzhi and others were also afraid that the official on duty would report bad news again, so they also persuaded together: "Your Majesty's health is important, don't worry about these trivial things anymore, go to rest first, and the ministers will deal with it if there are things." ”
Wan Yanyong waved his hand lightly and said, "Now that the two armies are facing each other, it's not a trivial matter, I just fainted for a while by chance, and it's not a big deal, don't persuade you." Then he said to the officer on duty, "If there is anything, tell me." ”
The hearts of all the ministers were raised at once, for fear that the official on duty would say something that would make the emperor anxious. At this time, I only heard that the official on duty was overjoyed, and said: "So that Your Majesty will be happy, now the national teacher is outside the palace, asking to see Your Majesty." ”
