Chapter 352: The Song Dynasty Is About to Be Destroyed
Of course,
Lin Chen had asked Qiao Xuan to disperse the people around the dock.
Otherwise, the movement of dozens of large ships would cause a lot of panic.
Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun looked at the new world in front of them, their eyes full of surprise.
"It turns out that the immortal paradise is no different from the outside world?"
The two brothers grumbled and arranged for the navy on the ship to go ashore and line up.
Compared with the Yulin Guards who fought in battle, the navy paid more attention to light and easy-to-move leather armor.
If you wear iron armor, you can also, but you have to bear the risk of falling into the water.
You have to know that the weight of iron armor is not like in ancient costume TV dramas. It seems light and no different from a layer of plastic.
In fact, a set of iron armor can be as light as thirty kilograms and as heavy as fifty or sixty kilograms!
If this weight falls into the water, if there is no help from outsiders, it will definitely drown.
"Greetings, sir!" Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun stepped forward to salute.
Lin Chen nodded, motioning the two to stand up, and said calmly:
"I have arranged for the bridge chief to prepare food and supplies, and they will all be loaded onto the merchant ship."
"Yes!"
Zhang Heng and the other two nodded in agreement.
Lin Chen brought so many merchant ships into the secret realm for a purpose.
He also had great use for the navy of Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun!
After arranging the navy, Lin Chen asked Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun to go down and adapt to the Sichuan and Shu waters, and set sail on a chosen day.
Hearing this, the two brothers were naturally very excited.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that their commander was about to make a big move.
This made Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, who had been idle for several months, want to rush into battle right away.
Of course, for Lin Chen, it would take some time to prepare.
The most important thing was intelligence.
Whether it was Mongolia or the current situation of the Southern Song Dynasty, he had only heard a few words from the traveling merchants before.
Therefore, Lin Chen specially asked Shen Lian and several Jinyiwei Qianhu to infiltrate this secret world.
Calculating the time, they are about to return.
"Go!"
On the rugged mountain road, several men on horseback galloped as if they were avoiding something.
These people dressed as ordinary vendors were Shen Lian and his trusted confidants.
"Shen Qianhu! There are more than a dozen Mongolian Tartars following behind!"
A confidant turned his head and heard the sound of horse hooves not far away, and said in a hurry.
"Damn, isn't it just kidnapping a thousand-man general?"
While muttering, one person whipped a sack tied to his horse's back, as if to vent his anger.
The sack that was whipped struggled, and calmed down after a while.
Obviously, the people in the sack knew that they could not escape, so they might as well save some energy.
Shen Lian listened to his confidant's words, his face did not change at all, he just said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, there is a camp of the Southern Song Dynasty ahead, we can just return the same way, these Mongolian Tartars dare not pursue us further."
Just as Shen Lian said.
Although the number of Jinyiwei he led was small, they were all extraordinary.
They rode slowly into a dense forest, turned left and right, and after some clever disguise, bypassed a Song army camp built on the hillside.
The dozen or so Mongolian cavalrymen hesitated for a moment and then turned around and left.
Obviously gave up the plan to chase the nobleman back.
Ayagu didn't expect that he would be abducted by the Song people one day!
He was originally a general of a thousand troops stationed on the front line of the confrontation between Song and Mongolia in Sichuan and Shu, but he didn't expect to be ambushed on the way to drink with a group of followers!
These Song people were sophisticated and specially cut off the meridians in his hands and feet, so that he couldn't even commit suicide.
Ayagu became more and more desperate after a few days of bumps.
He thought to himself that if he had the chance, he would definitely commit suicide and return to Changshengtian.
However, Ayagu originally thought that it was a Song general who kidnapped him and intended to torture him for military intelligence.
But when he arrived at a county government office in a county town, Ayagu was very confused.
"I ask, you say." Is that so? Lin Chen looked at Ayagu and said in an unchanged tone.
"Song dog, don't even think about getting any information from the Changshengtian warriors!"
Ayagu looked fierce and looked at Lin Chen fiercely.
He stuttered in Chinese, and Lin Chen finally understood what he said.
"Really?"
Lin Chen looked calm and only gave Shen Lian a look.
The latter understood and led Ayagu away with a grin on his face.
Jinyiwei not only inquired about intelligence, but also set up an imperial prison, which made all officials in Zhu Yuanzhang's reign silent!
Even the prime minister, upon hearing that he was going to be arrested and sent to the imperial prison, informed his family of his will in advance, fearing that he would not be able to come back.
No matter how hard you are, you have no choice once you are in the imperial prison.
Soon, Shen Lian came back alone.
"Reporting to the Lord, I have fulfilled my mission!"
Shen Lian handed a written document to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen took it and glanced at it, frowning slightly.
Tsk, the situation is worse than he thought.
He thought that now that Mongolia was destroying the Jin Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty would have a few years of peace.
But according to Ayagu, Kublai Khan won the position of Khan last year and intended to establish his capital in the Central Plains and the north.
The Mongolian tribes and the Han marquises were preparing food and supplies and training soldiers.
Look at this situation.
The battle to destroy the Song Dynasty will be within the next two months!
Lin Chen vaguely remembered it.
According to the original history, Kublai Khan destroyed the Song Dynasty by land and sea, and went straight to Xiangyang.
The next year, they crossed the Yangtze River, defeated the main force of the Southern Song navy led by Jia Sidao, and went straight to Jiankang, and the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed.
However, the history of this world deviated from the original historical trajectory.
Perhaps, it is because this secret realm is mixed with the Legend of the Condor Heroes.
You know, in the Legend of the Condor Heroes, Guo Jing and other heroes assisted the Song army to defend Xiangyang and resist the Mongol army from going south.
However, two years ago, Lü Wenhuan surrendered and Xiangyang fell.
Guo Jing and his family died fighting for their country on the top of Xiangyang.
When Lin Chen thought of this, he could not help but think of the look in his master's eyes that sometimes appeared in his mind, which was cold and sad, as if his heart was dead.
Perhaps this is why Guo Xiang founded a sect in Emei alone and no longer cared about the secular world.
Obviously, this was extremely disappointed with the Southern Song Dynasty.
"So, Lü Wenhuan is still alive?" Lin Chen's expression condensed, thinking.
According to Ayagu.
After Lü Wenhuan surrendered, he was reused by Kublai Khan. This time he went south to destroy the Song Dynasty, and he asked to be the vanguard, belonging to the western part of the Mongolian army going south to destroy the Song Dynasty.
"In that case..."
Lin Chen glanced at the map.
Leaving Sichuan and Shu, going down the river, he just happened to run into Lu Wenhuan.
He planned to kill this traitor first to comfort his master and the spirit of Guo Jing.
Lin Chen still admired Guo Jing, who said that the greatest heroes are those who serve the country and the people.
Moreover.
Guo Jing's reputation of martyrdom is still circulating in the southern martial arts world.
When the time is right, he can use this opportunity to recruit many righteous men to join the army and expand his strength.
After all, he has just arrived and his power is shallow, but he has to compete with the huge Mongolian Empire.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is not a way to seek death? !
