Chapter 130 Opportunity
"On the evening of October 23, when Du Chong saw the Jin Army's East Route Army arriving outside Beijing, he fled without fighting."

"In order to prevent the Jin army from pursuing it, Du Chong sent people to dig up the Yellow River in an attempt to use the Yellow River water to block the Jin army's advance."

“The Yellow River breached seriously. From Beijing to Huazhou in the southeast, all its banks broke. The river flooded down, from the Si River to the Huai River, and from the Huai River to the sea. As a result, all the people in the Si River and the lower reaches of the Huai River were flooded, and the displaced and homeless people came to the river. Ten million, and the estimated death toll from the disaster will exceed one million.”

"The Jin Army's East Route Army was not affected by the collapse of the Yellow River's embankments and directly crossed the original lower reaches of the Yellow River to Kaifeng."

Chen Xun read the information on the letter, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.

In later generations, Chen Xun had never heard of this period of history, but this was the first time he knew about it.

If he had known earlier that Du Chong would do such a thing, Chen Xun would have sacrificed hundreds of his guards to kill him before he dug the river.

"He is insane, worse than a pig or a dog, not a son of man, a beast!!" Liu Yu was also very angry.

"Come here, tell Pei Ren to come see me quickly." Chen Xun wanted to calm down the anger in his heart, lest it affect his judgment, but no matter how deep he took a breath, it had no effect.

Now he only regrets why he didn't learn more about history in his last life, and why he didn't know about Du Chong, this crazy pervert.

Liu Yu took the letter, sat there, read it, cursed it, and cursed every curse word he could think of.

But what's the use.

What happened on the 23rd, it is estimated that the flood has flowed into the sea, and all places that can be flooded have been flooded.

Guangzhou is thousands of miles away from the Huaihe River Basin, no matter what you want to do, you can't reach it.

"After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. Should we do something?" Liu Yu cursed for a while, finally calmed down, and asked Chen Xun.

"With tens of millions of people affected by the disaster, what can our small military government do?" If he had heard before that the salt tax could bring in millions a year, Chen Xun would have been a little inflated.Now, Chen Xun only felt weak.

Other traversers can dominate the world after traveling for ten years, but I have been traveling for almost 20 years, and I only occupy more than half of Guangzhou.

"Captain, you are looking for me." Pei Ren walked in from the door.

"Take a look." Chen Xun motioned to Liu Yu to hand the letter to Pei Ren.

After taking it, Pei Ren stood in the hall and began to watch. At the end, his hands trembled.

However, he was still calm and did not curse.

"No matter how Song Ting deals with Du Chong after he returns to Kaifeng, I want him to die." Seeing Pei Ren read it, Chen Xun made arrangements directly: "Can it be done?"

"Don't worry, Commander. This kind of beast, my subordinates will cut his body into thousands of pieces to pay tribute to the victims." Pei Ren accepted the task without any hesitation: "Captain, I request that I go and deal with it in person."

Chen Xun thought in his mind.

According to their ranks, Pei Ren and the Kaifeng Station Director were actually on the same level.

Just now when someone asked Pei Ren to come over, they only considered that Pei Ren was the biggest official in Guangzhou's intelligence system, but they didn't think of this.

If you agree to let Pei Ren go now, it will be equivalent to acquiescing to the fact that Pei Ren is the military government's top intelligence chief.

"Okay, once you complete this matter, I will appoint you as the Director of the Military Intelligence Department of the General Staff."

The sweetness that should be given should still be given. Besides, it is a good thing that the intelligence system has a head, and it is freed up for myself.

After Pei Ren went out, Liu Yu urgently suggested again:

"The navy's operation to exterminate the pirates has ended. Now that we have nothing to do, why not send them to the north to rescue some of them. Anyway, our Chen Jiajun navy has no opponents after entering the Huaihe River." "Yes! Chen Jiajun The navy is invincible in this era." Chen Xun was suddenly awakened by Liu Yu.

Maybe you can do more yourself.

The Yellow River bursts, flows from the Si River to the Huaihe River, and then seizes the Huaihe River into the sea. It can be said that the entire flow path was affected, which also means that the dominance of the Song court in this area has been reduced to zero.

This is an opportunity!
This should be the best opportunity for the military government to intervene in Jiangbei.

Whether it is to pick up refugees there or to open a military government branch base in the Huaihe River Basin, it is feasible.

The invincible navy can ensure that the Chen family's army can come and go freely in the Yellow River (Huai River) basin, and the pressure on logistical supplies will be very small.

It just so happened that the military government was temporarily unable to move on Guangnan East Road (so as not to trigger a larger-scale siege).

It happened that Chen Xun was worried that Guangzhou was too far away from Hebei and could not participate in the battle between Song and Jin Dynasties.

It happened that Chen Xun was worried about how to avoid the humiliation of Jingkang.

Whether the two emperors could be saved or not was secondary. The main reason was that it was such a shame that two Han emperors were captured by the Jin army at once.

Even if they are killed, they cannot be captured by the Jin army and go north!
"I have a golden finger. Maybe I can change this history." Chen Xun whispered.

As the military government develops more and more, the historical trend will inevitably be changed. Instead of waiting passively, it is better to actively participate in it.

Anyway, I don’t know much about this period of history, so it’s no pity to lose my weak prophetic advantage.

"The governor agreed to send the navy to the north?" Liu Yu confirmed excitedly.

"Yes. Not only the navy, but also the infantry and cavalry have to go north." Chen Xun stood up, with endless fighting spirit bursting out of him: "We have to make the muddy water even muddier so that we can fish in troubled waters. "

Unexpectedly, Chen Xun would make this decision. Liu Yu didn't know how to evaluate it for a while: "The governor is grand."

"Liu Yu, now your burden is heavy." Chen Xun stepped forward and patted his shoulder.

"Despite the commander's orders, my subordinates will not hesitate to die." Liu Yu bowed and saluted.

"I will personally lead the troops this time when we go north, and the logistics will all depend on you." Chen Xun said.

"Don't worry, Commander, I will not let the soldiers go hungry." Liu Yu had money in his hands and a strong waist, so his guarantee was unambiguous.

"Grain harvesting can no longer be limited to the surrounding areas of Guangzhou. The entire Guangdong and Guangxi areas, including Fujian Road in the north, are all sending people there to buy back all the grain they can buy." After Chen Xun arranged the last sentence, he couldn't help but sigh: "In this world, Ah, there’s going to be a big mess.”

"I understand that money is valuable only when it is spent." Liu Yu responded.

After explaining to Liu Yu, Chen Xun went out and began to assemble the army.

Pei Ren took thirty elites from the Military Intelligence Department northward the next day. Originally he only planned to lead a team of ten people. After learning that Chen Xun also planned to go north, Pei Ren selected all the elites from the Guangnan East Road Intelligence System. He came out and took them all with him.

And Chen Xun is not inferior here either.

One battalion of cavalry, one battalion of Miao swordsmen, one battalion of musketeers (more than 300 guns were produced in October, enough for one battalion), plus seven battalions of infantry.

A total of 5000 people, half of the Chen Jiajun and Ma Bujun in Guangzhou were transferred at once.

Lu Hui, who stayed in Guangzhou to guard this time, had to start his third large-scale recruitment again.

PS: (This part of history is related to Yue Fei. I didn’t write it because I was worried that policy changes would cause my entire book to be blocked. After working hard for several months, I was exhausted and couldn’t stand it anymore. Therefore, this book will not appear. Book friends should regard Yue Fei as the protagonist who has traveled to a parallel world at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. If you really can’t accept that there is no Yue Fei in this fictional history, please move on and don’t scold him.)
