Chapter 207 Take Nanyang lightly
The mountain south and the water north are called Yang, because it is south of Funiu Mountain and north of the Han River. Nanyang is named after it. It controls Ruluo in the north, Jingxiang in the south, Guanshan in the west, and Jianghuai in the east. It is an extremely important transportation hub and military fortress. land
However, in the eighth year of Shaoxing (1138), the Jin envoy Zhang Tonggu came to Lin'an. The following year, peace was negotiated and the Song Dynasty cut off the Tang and Deng states, so Nanyang was no longer owned by the Song Dynasty.

After the fall of the Jin Kingdom, Yuanting took over Nanyang and continued to use it as the basic place to settle down the people and organize production. After 18 years, the place recovered its vitality and provided endless support for the attack on Xiangyang.

To this day, most people in Nanyang have forgotten their homeland. After all, it was the Song Dynasty that abandoned them.

But there is a group of people who still remember their origins and still live in seclusion in the mountains and forests for more than [-] years.

On March [-]th, Gao Gao took people to Fengshan to visit Wang Sigong, the head of Jianmuzhai.

The local people's ancestors were under the control of the Song army. They hated the land ceded by the Song Dynasty and were unwilling to go south. They also cared about the defense of Huayi and were unwilling to serve as officials. Therefore, they gathered the people of the tribe and entered Funiu Mountain. Later, they left Funiu Mountain and built a stronghold in Fengshan.

There are some fields in the village, which only grow vegetables, and the main source of income is the usual business income.

When they do business, they naturally do not pay taxes.

Regardless of the Song, Jin, and Yuan dynasties, the crackdown on private business was very severe. However, after more than a hundred years of operation, the relationships in Jianmuzhai were complicated and complicated, and no matter who was in power, they could not be affected.

I think back when I was happy and Luocao, Jianmuzhai was responsible for all the harvest and supplies. They had a very close relationship.

When he heard that Gao Xing was visiting, Wang Sigong went out to greet him personally and said, "I heard the magpies chirping in the morning, but I didn't expect it was Brother Xian who came to visit. I am really overjoyed."

"Brother, I have defeated you." After a few pleasantries, Gao Xing and Wang Sigong entered the village and sat down separately.

The two of them were very familiar with each other. Wang Sigong was too lazy to talk nonsense and asked, "Brother Xian is here, is there any business?"

"It's a big deal, please step back and discuss it." He said happily.

Wang Sigong said: "It doesn't matter, we are all trusted brothers, brave men with swords and no frown on their faces. They will never reveal secrets."

Gao Gao has also been the boss, so naturally he won't spoil Wang Sigong's little trick of winning people's hearts. After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth.

"When my brother surrendered to his uncle, he gained a lot of trust. Then he invested Yuan and was granted a thousand households.

Last month, the Song army came to attack, and the brothers were guarding Bailu Mountain. They lost the defense in one day, and only three or five brothers under their command were able to escape.

Later, he returned to Yingzhou. After discussing with his uncle, he decided to return to the Song Dynasty. Brothers, do you know the reason? "Happy asked.

Wang Sigong is not a country bumpkin. As the boss of a private business group, he is well-informed.

When the Yuan army captured Lin'an with overwhelming force, he thought that the world was settled, and he once considered whether to go down the mountain to join the Yuan army. After all, it was too dangerous to continue to gather in the mountains and forests when the world was settled.

When the result was hesitating, the Song army pushed back, pushed back, and pushed back again. Now it will take four years to fight back Xiangyang.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that he was happy to return to the Song Dynasty.

"Master Wang has decided to attack Nanyang. He hopes that brothers will contact various places to provide internal support." Gaoxing said his purpose.

Wang Sigong was silent for a moment and said, "Brother Xian, does he know the ancestral teachings of our village?"

"I know that the government is unjust and cannot be trusted." He said happily: "However, today is different from the past. The king's division has guns and artillery. Xiangyang is as strong as Xiangyang. It was razed to the ground in two months and the Yuan captives left in a hurry.

With the soldiers in Nanyang sparse battle formation for a long time, they can attack in ten months.

If a brother acts as an internal correspondent, he will definitely achieve great success. It is not a problem to be granted a title as a general. If he is granted a title, he will be rich and powerful for generations. Isn't it more comfortable than living in a mountain village?
The officials kept their word and never let down the thousands of people in Jianmuzhai. "

Seeing that Wang Sigong was still silent, he happily continued: "As Hans, you and I are destined to be inferior to the Mongols. How will we meet our ancestors in a hundred years?

There is a book here. Brother, read it and then give me a reply. If you don’t want to, I won’t say anything. "

Wang Sigong took the book and glanced at the cover, only to see three big words on it - Ethnic Theory.

After all, he was no ordinary grass bandit. Wang Sigong was immediately attracted.After flipping through it hastily and then studying it carefully, Wang Sigong closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then said: "Okay, I will contact various places to think about internal responses."

As soon as these words came out, some brothers immediately objected, saying: "Head of the family, we live in the village and live happily, so why do we have to work for the government?"

It is very dangerous to act as an insider. If you are not careful, you will be killed. Jianmuzhai has a lot of savings. Even if it is closed, it can guarantee food and drink. There is really no need to take risks.

"The ancestors never forgot their origins, how dare we forget it today? When Master Wang comes back, I should respond. Even if he fails, the only ones who will die are you and me, and my family will be fine." Wang Sigong's reasons are very good, and no one can refute them.

The Song Army was really too powerful.

The Yuan army fought against Xiangyang for several years, but what about the Song army?Two months is enough!

If they weren't all well-informed people, they would definitely think it was a rumor.

They were so powerful that even if they were captured and killed by mistake, the Yuan army would not have a chance to liquidate Jianmu Village.

It was roughly decided that Wang Sigong immediately sent everyone to contact old friends and make an appointment to go to Nanyang as internal correspondents. At the same time, he sent brothers who were familiar with the waterway situation to join the Song army as guides.

They smuggle, and there are countless families, so you can give it a try at this time.

I was happy to see the task completed, and felt happy inside, so I also became a consultant.

At the end of March, the Song fleet arrived, dispersed the Yuan army on the shore with a bombardment, and [-] troops landed.

Seeing the powerful artillery with his own eyes, Wang Sigong couldn't help feeling that his choice could not be more correct.

"It's just a dozen cannons firing. If a hundred cannons fire together, they can destroy mountains and demolish the ground." Gao Gao was still frightened.

If he hadn't been mentally frightened by the artillery, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask Ying to contact Jianmuzhai.

On the day of landing, the Song army immediately attacked the city. When the Yuan army was preparing to defend, there was a fire in the city first, and then someone robbed the city gate.

The Yuan army was immediately in chaos. No matter how hard Daru Hua Chi Xuetala Hai of Nanyang Prefecture tried, he could not win back the morale of the army.

After a while, the Song army entered the city, and the Yuan army fled in a panic without even having time to lay mines.

The Song army was chasing after them, and Xuetalahai turned around to fight many times, but was defeated. However, Xuetalahai ran out of Nanyang and finally got rid of the pursuit.

The Song army did not leave the basin, and did not even have time to divide its troops to attack the counties. They only seized the important roads in the surrounding mountains.

In April, [-] troops entered Nanyang, and Liu Shiyong divided his troops to recover various places.

There was no need to use swords or guns. Envoys were sent from all over the country to ask for surrender, which was completely accepted happily.

Within half a month, Nanyang was completely recovered by the Song army, and the situation was basically stable. Su Liuyi hosted a banquet in honor of many heroes.

"The first achievement in this battle was that Wang Sigong acted as an internal response, and the second was that he was willing to take risks and become a lobbyist." Su Liuyi said, holding up his wine glass.

"The Marquis of Luzhou has won the prize. I can't wait for the fox to pretend to be the tiger." Wang Sigong replied.

"Even if you take advantage of the general trend of the country, you still have great achievements. You will be rewarded when you meet the saint." Su Liuyi said.

Happiness is indeed happiness. For my own assessment of the situation, I got a ride in time and made great contributions.

If he wants to go back and forth to meet the Holy Queen, he will definitely be promoted to a higher rank. Based on his bravery, he will be granted the title of Marquis right now.
