Chapter 1028 Is this going to buy at zero yuan?
The fourth encirclement and suppression war attempted by the Southern Song Dynasty did not start.

Because this so-called Fourth Encirclement and Suppression War actually became a strategic offensive initiated by the peasant army, with the goal of completely destroying the Jinghu Theater in the Southern Song Dynasty and cutting it into two sections.

The nature of this war was different when Zhao Yucheng decided to take the initiative to attack.

On the sixth day of March in the fifth year of Hongwu, Zhao Yucheng led the army to attack.

On the ninth day of the third month, Zhang Xiaohu, the commander of the fourth division, led the leading vanguard to attack De'an and killed more than [-] Song troops.

On March 40, the main force led by Zhao Yucheng defeated the Southern Song Dynasty navy in Duchang County by water, destroyed more than 50 ships and captured more than [-] ships. A victory.

On the same day, Zhang Xiaohu's vanguard army attacked the Nankang Army, and defeated all the Zuo Army part of the Jiujiang Army in the Nankang Army.

On March [-], Zhang Xiaohu's soldiers pointed at Xinqiao.

On March [-], Zhang Xiaohu smashed another army of the Jiujiang Army Left Army at Xinqiao, killing more than [-] people and capturing more than [-] people, winning a great victory.

On the same day, the main outpost of the peasant army led by Zhao Yucheng approached the Hukou area and conducted some reconnaissance on the Song Army navy in the Hukou area.

On March 60th, about 30 boats of the Peasant Army's water army raided the Song army's water army in the Hukou area in the early hours of the morning, attacked the Song army with rockets, defeated and burned the Song army's water army in the Hukou area. There were more than 60 ships and more than [-] were captured.

On the same day, the main force of the infantry army of the peasant army landed in the east of Xinqiao. Zhang Xiaohu led the vanguard to complete the task and moved closer to the main force.

On the afternoon of the same day, the two sides marched together towards the Jiujiang Army Headquarters and Dehua County.

So far, on the eighth day of the war, the Song army had no victory. In the face of the active attack of the peasant army, the Song army's infantry and navy troops were defeated like a mountain, and the peasant army's offensive was swift and violent.

The Song army did not expect this wave of strategic offensive launched by the peasant army. Until the peasant army started to fight, they did not know that the peasant army had begun to attack.

But in fact, the series of war preparations of the peasant army are not absolutely secret, and there is no absolutely secret thing these days, so the top officials of the Song army actually knew about the war preparations of the peasant army for a long time.

When did Zhou Yun, the commander of the Jiujiang army, know that the peasant army had begun to move?
The answer was in mid-February, shortly after the peasant army began to prepare.

At that time, he heard from the businessman who did business with the peasant army that the peasant army had begun to purchase a large number of military supplies such as ordnance, cloth, etc., and began to collect ships, and there were signs of mobilizing the army, and he looked very nervous.

But Zhou Yun didn't take it seriously.

Because at that time, the news that the imperial court was going to launch the fourth encirclement and suppression operation had already spread in this area.

The Southern Song Dynasty court had nothing to keep secret, and military intelligence was just like a sieve. The court had just decided to start a fight, and the well-informed businessmen there knew the news.

When the merchants know about it, the peasant army also knows about it. This is normal.

The merchants found business opportunities and began to raise prices quickly, selling things in large quantities to the peasant army.

The businessmen made a lot of money, and Zhou Yun, the boss behind the businessmen, and officials in the Jiujiang area also made a lot of money.

Ordnance is not something that ordinary businessmen can touch. If people who can do this kind of business have no official background, don't even think about it.

Therefore, in his opinion, the peasant army was collecting ships and the news of the army's changes was to deal with the fourth encirclement and suppression operation of the imperial court. They were accumulating strength and preparing to resist. They did this for defense. This is normal and no big deal.

The first few times the peasant army attacked occasionally had counterattacks, but basically they were passively beaten, waiting for the Song army to beat them, and this time was no exception.

Zhou Yun didn't think that the peasant army was collecting ships and the army was preparing to attack.

He just felt very sorry for the fact that it became difficult to make money as soon as the war started.

Then they stepped up to sell some things that they were reluctant to sell to the peasant army. By the way, the price went up. Anyway, no matter how high the price was, the peasant army would buy it.

Delicious.

In fact, in order to paralyze Zhou Yun and officials in the Jiujiang area, the peasant army was still on the water on March [-]th, the day before the start of the war, to discuss the ordnance business with merchants in the Southern Song Dynasty, and kept saying that no matter the price, as long as it was good Just accept.

The businessmen brought the news back to Zhou Yun and others. Zhou Yun and others were carried away by the golden gold bars. They only wanted to make money and didn't care about anything else.

So that some Southern Song merchants found out that the peasant army was mobilizing the people, collecting carts and other important news were also ignored by Zhou Yun and others, all regarded as business opportunities.

The response strategy is to raise prices.

Want Ordnance?

sure!
have to add money.

I thought it was a difficult thing, but the peasant army didn't say anything about the price. The [-]% profit was driving the businessmen and officials crazy. I care.

But they never thought that the weapons were sold to others. When they came with weapons, what would they use to resist?

money?
Zhou Yun didn't care, didn't pay attention, just wanted to make money, turned a blind eye to more and more pre-war warnings, or made money.

Therefore, it was not until March [-] that Zhou Yun received the exact front-line military report, saying that the peasant army launched an attack on the area controlled by the Southern Song Dynasty, and the momentum was very strong, and De'an County had been broken.

Zhou Yun was shocked when he heard this, but at the same time he felt incredible and couldn't believe it.

Why did the peasant army who was still talking about business suddenly start a war?

He was stocking up on the arms agreement reached by the two sides on March [-]th, and was going to make a fortune from him, but now the peasant army is coming?
This is because I don't want to pay, so I want to buy it for zero yuan?

Zhou Yun couldn't believe this military report, and suspected that it was a false report. While sending people to let the main army start to rectify and prepare for the war, he sent people to continue to inquire about the news.

It didn't take long, and less than a day later, Zhou Yun was extremely shocked to learn that tens of thousands of the main force of the peasant army were marching in the direction of Dehua County. need more.

At the same time, he received an emergency military report from two ports east of Dehua County, saying that the peasant army and navy had conquered their port and blocked the port. defeated.

That is to say, he has just determined that the peasant army has launched an attack, and he is facing a situation that can be called hell mode.

He only had one port and one navy army to mobilize, and the main force of the peasant army infantry army, which outnumbered his army, was approaching Dehua county step by step.

How could this be?
How could the peasant army take the initiative to attack?
There is no sign that they will take the initiative to attack!

Never had it before!

In a panic, Zhou Yun forgot what he was not vigilant about when he should have been vigilant before, and hurriedly held a military meeting to ask the generals for countermeasures.

He was flustered, and the generals would only be more flustered. Everyone is a good player in making money and making money. Even if they were unfamiliar at the beginning, they were also talented, and they soon became experts.

But in this aspect of marching and fighting, it is generally mediocre.

A group of cobblers came up with all kinds of ideas, and all kinds of bad ideas came out one after another, but none of them were easy to use, but some people advised Zhou Yun not to stand under the dangerous wall.
Are you waiting for the welcome party for the peasant army to perform a few shows by the way?

Hurry up and switch strategy!
