Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 583 The Battle of the Han River with the Southern Song Dynasty
Li Qingwei returned to Luoyang, and immediately convened the "Civil and Military Officials" to discuss the aftermath of taking over Nanyang and Kaifeng.

Everyone felt a little shocked or even inconceivable by Li Qingwei's move. They did not expect to win two important lands with just a few words of negotiation.

Officials who originally had doubts about the "Datang" regime and had little confidence now have doubled their confidence.

After careful discussion, Luoyang organized some soldiers and sent some small officials to form a "receiving group".

After getting the news, Zhuge Qingyun also came to Luoyang City and participated in the "cabinet meeting".

There are not many members in this "cabinet", just Li Qingwei, father and son, and Zhuge Qingyun.

Now Zhuge Qingyun admired Li Qingwei completely. Originally, he thought that he won Hanzhong without much effort, which was already a "smart strategy".

But Li Qingwei won the two important places of Nanyang and Kaifeng from Kublai Khan with just a few words.

How could he not feel admiration?

"That's the way it is. The officials who will take over Kaifeng and Nanyang are all settled. It's just that Kublai Khan will definitely clear the treasury. The only problem is to appease the people's money and food."

Zhuge Qingyun said at this time: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, although our money and food are not very abundant right now, as long as we don't expand our army, then there is no problem in helping the people in these two places. Now it is the end of the year, as long as we help the people until after the spring sowing, Our little crisis is over for now."

Li Qingwei nodded at this moment and said: "That's good! Right now, there is not enough money and food, and the construction of Daming Palace can be delayed appropriately. And we have the old palace of Song Dynasty, which can be used temporarily."

Zhuge Qingyun nodded after thinking for a while.

Seeing that Zhuge Qingyun agreed, Li Qingwei continued: "Then let's distribute the military restraint and regional jurisdiction of the two places."

"The administration of the Guanzhong area, the army and horses are all handed over to the prime minister. As for the land of Luoyang and Nanyang, my father will take care of it. As for Kaifeng, I will hand it over to my elder brother."

"It just so happens that my elder brother can move to Kaifeng with my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law escaped from Kaifeng City with her parents when she was young, and she must not have been back for so many years."

Zhuge Qingyun asked at this time: "Wouldn't the power be dispersed too much?"

Li Qing'an also said at this time: "Yes, if you want to manage the government, you can help me, but Kaifeng is located in the border area, so if you want to manage the army, I'm afraid you can't do what you want."

Facing the problems of the two of them, Li Qingwei said: "There is nothing we can do right now. Although we are stable now, we have not yet established a complete 'administrative system', but these are not important at present. When we are really stable, Then use the previously agreed dual method of 'imperial examination and examination' to select officials."

"It will not be too late to establish a complete Sangong Jiuqing system at that time, and integrate all the powers. As for the elder brother's concerns, I have thought of this too. The military and government are separated here, and the elder brother manages the government. Yang Chan is in charge of the army. Before the completion, we temporarily set the capital in Kaifeng."

After listening to Li Qingwei's words, Li Qinglong and the others had no objections.So it was settled.

The [-]-day deadline came soon. Li Qingwei took Li Qing'an, Su Yuan and others to Kaifeng, and Li Qinglong also sent his cronies to Nanyang.

The remaining Mongolians who were stationed and maintained law and order were also very cooperative, and they happily handed over their local household registration and field book seals.Then the integrated army left.

No conflict broke out between the two sides.That feeling is like a normal defense change between the Mongolian army.

However, this move confused the Song army on the front line of Hanshui in Xiangyang, that is, the Mongolian army had withdrawn, and it was replaced by another banner and another army.

Because of the secret actions of Li Qingwei and others and the information blockade of both sides, the news of the "restoration" of the Tang Dynasty did not spread to the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty.

For this new army, Song Jun was very puzzled.However, seeing that they had a peaceful handover with the Mongols, the Song army directly regarded them as the Han army that had switched defenses with the Mongolian army.

So as usual, artillery bombarded the Tang army's camp.

The Tang army dispatched and stationed in the direction of Nanyang is under Zhuge Qingyun's command.

Composed of a mixture of Li Jiajun and military veterans, they are absolute lineage troops. Their subordinates are equipped with "rockets" and "artillery" that use rockets.

Li Qingwei had ordered before that their army was mainly not to defend against the Mongolian army, but to defend against the Southern Song Dynasty.

The first is to restrain the troops in Nanyang Xinye, and don't let them easily provoke the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, if the Southern Song Dynasty had any aggressive intentions, they would immediately fight back with force, and there was no need to report it, so it was easy to do.

After being inexplicably attacked by the Song Army's navy, these people immediately fought back with rockets. The power and range of the rockets were not comparable to the Song Army's artillery.

And such a big ship is simply a "live target" in front of rockets.

Soon the Tang Army's rockets concentrated on the Song Army's gunboats. The large rockets directly blew a big hole out of the gunboats. In less than a quarter of an hour, seven or eight gunboats on the Song Army's Han River were sunk by the rockets.

The rest of the navy immediately fled. After sinking the invading enemy, the Tang army stopped fighting back and let the Song army's navy escape.

Afterwards, a "War Free Card" was hung on the sentry tower, indicating that he had no intention of attacking the Southern Song Dynasty.

Just this battle of the Han River shocked the entire Song Dynasty, and this incident was immediately reported to the capital at a speed of eight hundred miles.

They were proud that the ship that could defeat the Mongols was sunk by an "artillery" from an "unknown force" in just a quarter of an hour. This made all the officials of the Song Dynasty unable to sit still.

If Tang Jun hadn't hung up the "War Free Card" to indicate that he had no intention of going to war, otherwise, the entire Southern Song Dynasty would definitely be mobilized again.

The Southern Song Dynasty also tried to send envoys to negotiate with the Tang army, but Li Qingwei had also ordered them not to contact the Southern Song Dynasty. If an envoy came over, he would be forced back with a crossbow.

After hitting a wall a few times, the Southern Song Dynasty also learned to behave, but the Tang army did not respond to their warships sailing normally, even if they drove the ship within the range of the Tang army's bow and crossbow.

Although Song Jun was a little puzzled, he didn't make trouble anymore, just like the "Chu River Han Realm" in chess, they don't invade or interfere with each other.

Although there were some "little frictions" on the Nanyang side, the Kaifeng side received it very smoothly.

The states and counties under the direct control of Kaifeng were all peacefully taken over by the Tang army.

The same is true for the most important city of Kaifeng, and Kublai Khan was also very trustworthy. Except for looting all the money and food in the city, and the Mongolian soldiers under his command harmed some girls, he really didn't move "one brick and one brick".

Especially the most important imperial city, the Mongolian army guarding the imperial city was handed over and withdrawn last, and everything in the imperial city was as it had been seen by Li Qingwei before, without any movement.

Even the pots and pans of the "Imperial Dining Room" were all left behind.Now Kublai Khan moved to another "Imperial Palace", which was the "Central Capital", the capital of the former Jin Kingdom.
