Gently hugging Zhao Yingluo beside him, Li Nan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Most of the princesses of previous dynasties have a bad fate, but in terms of tragedy, these daughters of Song Huizong can be ranked in the forefront.

In later records, Zhao Qiaoyun, the daughter of Zhao Ji of Huizong, Emperor Ji of Xiande, married Liu Wenyan for the first time, and was taken into the laundry by Jin Bing after the shame of Jingkang.

Shunde Emperor Ji Zhao Yingluo, mother Yisu Guifei Wang. First married to Zi Yan, after the change of Jingkang, it was occupied by Yan Zonghan, and then left Wanyan Zonghan Village to go to the Five Kingdoms City, and was detained by the ancient king of Jindong Road, and soon died in the village.

Yifu Emperor Ji Zhao Yuanzhu was not married, and after the change of Jingkang, it was occupied by the fourth prince Wanyan Zongbi......

There are many similar records, after the destruction of the city of Tokyo, whether it is many concubines, emperors, palace maids in the palace, or the female dependents of hundreds of officials and the people in the city, a total of tens of thousands of women were taken away by the Jinren.

Li Nan has been fighting desperately in Lingnan with his notoriety, and what he wants to do is to prevent the recurrence of this tragedy, so that the women and children in the land of China will not be humiliated by foreigners.

"Da ......" Li Nan and Zhao Yingluo hugged each other, enjoying a rare warm moment, but unexpectedly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves interrupted this beauty.

More than 10,000 bandits armed with firearms marched south from Fujian Road and attacked Chaozhou, a newly built port city on Guangnan East Road.

Although the local garrison battalion stationed in Chaozhou in Zhennanguo resisted stubbornly, due to the difference in numbers several times, the fierce battle lasted for a long time, and more than 1,000 people of the patrol battalion were killed.

After hearing this bad news, Li Nan was immediately shocked and angry.

Although these people call themselves bandits, tens of thousands of bandits have come from the Song Realm to attack the territory of Zhennan Kingdom in an organized manner, and this kind of nonsense is not only unbelievable to Li Nan and Zhennanguo, but I am afraid that no one will believe it.

The second is that the weapon equipped by the opponent turned out to be a powerful musket, which is even more obvious.

As far as Li Nan knows, there are only two countries that have the ability to manufacture firearms today, that is, the Song Kingdom and the Zhennan Kingdom.

The Song Kingdom had been researching and manufacturing various firearms for a long time, and there were several workshops in the city, but no one paid attention to this thermal weapon, which could change the tide of war, so it has been stagnant.

Since Li Nan began to use all kinds of firearms in Lingnan, whether it is the Song, Liao, Western Xia, Goryeo and island countries, they have all sent fine works to steal the craftsmanship, but the Guangyuan Prefecture Arsenal is heavily guarded, so they did not succeed.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world, especially the extremely smart Song people.

In fact, as long as someone has a heart to observe carefully, the formula of gunpowder can be judged from the large number of raw materials transported to Qiyuan Prefecture alone, and the rest is to continue to experiment with the ratio.

Li Nan had long expected that the firearms of the Song State would develop, but he did not expect that after the fiasco of the north and the south, the Song people would really develop muskets.

This is the way things are in the world, imitation is always easier than invention, and Song Guo was able to make muskets so quickly, thanks to Zhennanguo.

Even if the regulations on the management of firearms in the Zhennan Army were strict, there were still many firearms taken away by the Song people on the battlefield of more than 100,000 people in Guizhou City.

There are not many soldiers and horses in Zhennan, less than 150,000 people in full battle, but they can deter the surrounding countries because of a hundred battles without defeat.

Now that Chaozhou was attacked, the world immediately shook, although only about 1,000 local garrisons were annihilated, but it also made the prestige of this gang of bandits soar, and Shudi, which had been renamed Sichuan Province, and the Song people in Guangnan's east-west province also began to be restless.

For this kind of thing, Li Nan naturally will not tolerate it, and his order is very concise: "Kill!" ”

After receiving Li Nan's order, the 2nd Division of the 1st Army of the Zhennan Army stationed in Guangzhou marched towards Chaozhou under the leadership of Guan Sheng.

The 2nd Division of the Praetorian Guard Corps stationed in Wuzhou, also led by the female fox Mary and Huang Xin, went to the front line of Shaozhou to intercept the Song bandits and prevent them from continuing to attack other state capitals in the territory.

The night was dark, but at this time, the city of Chaozhou was shouting and killing was shocking, Guan Sheng led the 3,000 cavalry of the second division to the city, and began to attack the city occupied by the Song bandits without waiting for the arrival of the rear army.

It is absolutely not advisable for cavalry to attack the city, and Guan Sheng also knows this, so he did not order his cavalry to climb the city wall, but let the cavalry dismount and use the range of Zhennanguo's musket to attack the bandit army on the city wall.

In the light of countless blazing fires, Guan Sheng, who looked very much like Wuhou's big sword, stood under the city with a long beard in his hand and a shining green dragon glaive sword in his right hand, and commanded the soldiers to attack in a loud voice.

"Brother Guan, I'm your brother Song Jiang!" Amid the shouts and gunfire, a familiar voice came from the city.

Guan Sheng looked intently, and sure enough, he saw a lot of familiar faces on the city wall, and Song Jiang in time, Zhi Duoxing was useless, and Sun Sheng, the dragon of Zhuyun, and others were all there.

Seeing so many old people, Guan Sheng was puzzled, and shouted at the city wall: "Why did you come to Lingnan to die if you didn't live in Liangshan?" ”

Song Jiang said loudly: "Brother Guan's words are wrong, although we gather in Liangshan, we are the people of the Great Song Dynasty. Now that Zhennan has invaded the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, even though we are ordinary people, we can't bear this humiliation, so we have come here to fight the traitors! ”

If it was before, then Guan Sheng would have mostly believed Song Jiang's words, but after the battle of the tidal flats that day, Song Jiang drove himself out of Liangshan in order to survive, and completely let him see the true face of this person.

"Hehehe......" Guan Sheng slammed the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand on the ground, pointed at Song Jiang and the others on the city wall and sneered: "The big husband does things to stand up to the sky, Song Jiang, you come to tell a certain family, how can you wait for him, how can you come to Lingnan from Jingdong Road through Yuefu in Zhou?" ”

"This ......"

Song Jiang, a group of Liangshan bandits, had actually been defeated by the Song army a long time ago and was forced to accept Zhao'an.

Now the thieves in Liangshan in Chaozhou City, although they are covered with various colors, they are actually wearing armor issued by the imperial court, and they are also equipped with the latest firearms in their hands.

Regarding Guan Sheng's question, Song Jiang naturally did not dare to tell the truth.

The current Song State was not ready for a full-scale war with Zhennan, so when it came, the high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty had strictly ordered them not to recognize their official status.

The lives of Liangshan's group were not in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty monarchs, they came to Zhennan to attack this time, if they won the battle, it would be good, if they were defeated, they could also test the power of new firearms.

Song Jiang was a little speechless, and Zhiduoxing Wu on the side said with a goose feather fan: "We are all Song people, and it is a matter of course to crusade against the traitors of Zhennan Kingdom. Guan Sheng, you have also been to Liangshan, if you are willing to lead the people to surrender, then everyone is still willing to be a brother when you are a brother, and you will be prosperous and rich in the future, and high-ranking officials will naturally have your share! ”

"Huh." Hearing Wu Yong's words, Guan Sheng couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Guan Shengnai is a descendant of Guan Yu, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, who is proficient in the art of war, strong in martial arts, and most importantly, has excellent character. Therefore, after he was cast under Li Nan's account, he was entrusted with an important task, and now he is an important minister of the Zhennan military, how can he still look at the official gold and silver promised by Song Jiang and others?

Song Jiang and the others on the city wall also brought further persuasion, but Guan Sheng saw that most of the second division had arrived one after another, and the most important thing was that several two-wheeled artillery pieces had also been transported, so he immediately stopped talking nonsense with them and directly ordered the siege of the city.
