At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 233 Song Jun is coming
Qinzhou (Jianghua Island) is separated from Kaijing by the Salt River. Its hydrological conditions are complex, with a large tidal range, many reefs, and it is difficult for boats to navigate.

Looking at the several upheavals in the history of Goryeo, whether they were rebels or kings, most of them retreated to Qinzhou when things went wrong.

After Wang Zhen succeeded to the throne, the country was stable, so there was no need to use this place as a retreat, but it did not affect its role as a sea barrier for Beijing.

After receiving the news that the Song army had occupied Gaizhou, Wang Yandong cobbled together 5000 troops and [-] ships to station in Qinzhou to prevent the Song army from crossing the sea.

It's not that Wang Zhen doesn't want to send more troops, it's just that the country is really empty and can't raise more troops.

At this time, Zhonglang General Jin Zhongqing was training the army.

This guy offended Hudulu Jielimimi by offering a beautiful woman to Wang Zhen, and was sent to a horse patrol station as a horse herd slave. Because many generals were trapped in the Japanese country, Wang Zhen took the opportunity to fish him out.

Suddenly, a line of wolf smoke shot out from the top of Mani Mountain. Jin Zhongqing was startled and shouted: "The Song people are invading, prepare to engage the enemy!"

All armies were in a hurry and rushed to their respective positions. The warships docked on the shore also untied their cables and sailed into the Salt River.

They were all small boats, so they naturally did not dare to fight the Song army in the sea. They could only rely on the complex water conditions of the Salt River to have a chance of victory.

Although Hu Feng had provided a large amount of hydrological data, it was still possible to capsize the ship if he entered hastily. Therefore, Jiang Fang did not let the fleet go to the Yanhe River and found a tidal flat to land at the southeast corner of Qinzhou.

This is a target that has been surveyed in advance. The sea-going ship is anchored, and it takes more than 100 steps for the soldiers to get on the small boat to reach the shore. If they are not equipped with equipment and are proficient in water, they can swim to the shore.

Of course, there is no need for soldiers to swim ashore. Each sea ship puts down the ferry boat, and the soldiers transfer to the shore.

The speed is very slow, but a Qinzhou does not need to land on the beach, because there are too many places to use ships, and the Koreans cannot attack.

When Jin Zhongqing arrived with his troops, he was overjoyed to see hundreds of small boats that had not yet landed.

"The armies are ready to kill the Song army on the beach and let them see the power of Goryeo!" Jin Zhongqing shouted.

"Kill!" the Korean soldiers shouted slogans, lined up in formation, and slowly pushed toward the beach.

On the flagship, Zhu Xian held up a telescope and looked at the Goryeo army carefully.

The soldiers were all clothed in civilian clothes, and the general only had one set of leather armor and a complete set of weapons. However, the shields were all the simplest wooden shields, which looked very crude.

The morale of the Korean soldiers was very high because they knew that they had great advantages.

The tidal flats were so soft that one foot could reach the ankles. The disadvantage was very obvious. In addition, there was no formation, and it was basically a loss of life.

"When this army is completely wiped out, the Song thieves will definitely retreat in fear. With such a great achievement, there is no way he will be able to serve as the director of Zhimin." Jin Zhongqing thought.

Originally, Goryeo modeled its Privy Council on the Song Dynasty and established it as the highest military institution. Later, in order to please the Yuan Dynasty, the Privy Council was demoted to the Direct Secret Council.

Although it is said that it has been reduced, in fact, the organizational functions are not much different from before.

Just two hundred steps away from the beach, the Korean soldiers stopped, preparing to wait for the Song army to land and fight.

Unexpectedly, a loud bang came from the sea. Before Jin Zhongqing could react, a bloody groove was plowed out in the military formation.

Blood and flesh splattered, screams broke out suddenly, and the Korean soldiers were stunned.

Boom~ boom~ boom~
Flesh and blood flew all over the place, screaming continuously, and the Korean soldiers turned and fled, crying and shouting.

Because he was standing at the very back, Jin Zhongqing ran the fastest and ran back to Qinzhou City before stopping.

"Sorcery, sorcery, it must be sorcery..." Jin Zhongqing muttered to himself, shaking all over.

"General...general...jun...how..." His subordinates were also frightened and could not utter a single word for a long time.

Jin Zhongqing slowed down for a moment and said: "Immediately send someone to tell the king that the Song army has sorcery, Qinzhou cannot be defended, and the capital is in danger!"

Although the hydrology of the Salt River is complex, it is only three or two miles wide. It is possible to cross the river after all. Besides, at worst, it is not necessary to cross the Salt River to land from other places.

Kaijing is only more than ten miles away from the seaside, so even if the Song army takes a detour, it won't take too long.When he received the report, Wang Zhen was shocked and immediately summoned his ministers to the palace to discuss countermeasures.

"Deploy defenses along the coast immediately and prevent the Song army from landing."

"Calling the diligent kings from all over the world to rectify the city's defences, the capital must not make any mistakes."

"Asking for help from Your Majesty, Your Majesty is your consort, so why did Dayuan ignore the kingdom?"

"Recall the Japanese soldiers and horses immediately."

"We should send an envoy to ask General Song about the reason, and we might be able to negotiate a solution."

The ministers were talking a lot, which made Wang Zhen have a headache. However, he still heard some useful opinions.

Crying to dad, this is a measure that must be taken, but it is just a matter of time.

It is necessary to summon troops and horses to rectify the defense. As for sending envoys... everyone is involved in controversy.

"If the imperial court finds out, I'm afraid it will be considered inappropriate for the kingdom to associate with the Song Dynasty."

"The Song Dynasty raised an army to attack without declaring war. This is really unethical. We should send envoys to hold them accountable."

The undeclared war was shameless, and the Koreans were very angry.

Wang Yan hesitated for a while, but decided to send someone to ask the reason.

What does the fight between the Song and Yuan dynasties have to do with Goryeo?Even if you have to die, you have to die clearly.

After some disputes, Bachelor Wenhan and Zuo Chengzhi Guo Yu were selected as envoys.

Of course he has the ability, but he can become an envoy, firstly because of Wang Zhen's trust, and secondly because he has no background.

Although Goryeo had imperial examinations, it placed great emphasis on family background. Usually only wealthy families could rise up to become important officials in the court. It was difficult for an ordinary scholarly family like Guo Yu to become a military and political officer, not to mention becoming an important official like the Six Ministers.

Thanks to the actions of the Jin Kingdom, envoys from warring countries have now become a high-risk profession, and wealthy bureaucrats are certainly unwilling to take risks.

When Guo Yu set off, Wang Zhen saw him off in person, giving him the feeling that "the wind is rustling and the water is cold, and a strong man will never return once he is gone."

It was only when there was no one around that Wang Zhen said: "It's very dangerous for you to go. You must not offend the Song Dynasty. If possible, Goryeo is willing to submit as a vassal."

Guo Yu said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid of offending the court and causing great disaster."

"Don't you know the harm?" Wang Zhen said helplessly: "The country is empty, and the king's army cannot rescue it. If the Song army attacks the capital, how can it hold on? Although Qin Muchu despises it, there is nothing he can do!"

Guo Yu was silent.

In the past, it was very far away from Song State, and it was enough to serve Yuan State well. Now that the threat of Song State is close at hand, we have to consider how to serve Song State.

It is not possible to completely fall to the Song Dynasty, because the Yuan army came from Liaodong, which was also a disaster for the country.

In these troubled times, one can only fight to save the country.

In the final analysis, it is still not strong enough, so it can only be like this.

After being sent to the outside of the city, the navy then crossed the Salt River and landed in Qinzhou. When he arrived at Qinzhou City, Guo Yu saw chaos in the city.

Theft and looting can be seen everywhere, and not only scoundrels, but also many local garrison troops are involved. If it were not for the accompanying guards, Guo Yu would not have seen Jin Zhongqing.

"My courage is gone. No wonder Jin Zhongqing went to report that the city cannot be defended." Guo Yu shook his head.

Despite its ferocity when looting, it is actually fierce but weak inside. It will run very fast in battle and cannot be used at all.
