Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The sky was gloomy and the rain was pouring down from the sky.

At this moment, the Jiangling Navy had received the news, and within two hours, 10,000 soldiers of the Jiangling Navy arrived on the river in warships.

They have a total of more than one hundred warships, but these warships are all in disrepair, and the sizes of the warships are also different. Some warships are so huge that they can almost catch up with the warships of the Wu rank navy, but some warships are larger than ordinary fishing boats. There are not many weapons on these warships, there are not many trebuchets, and there are almost no giant crossbows.

The soldiers of the Jiangling Navy all looked lazy, some soldiers still had weapons in their hands, and some soldiers had no weapons at all.

In the past few decades, the Jiangling navy has never encountered a war. Even if the Jin soldiers invaded, there was no such thing as the Jiangling Navy. The soldiers of the Jiangling Navy are also handed down from father to son and son to grandson, and weapons are also handed down from generation to generation. Many soldiers have already sold their weapons for wine, and the generals will not restrain them at all.

On weekdays, the Jiangling navy doesn't know how to train.

Generally speaking, they will gather once a month or two, mainly to distribute military pay.

But because of the severe deduction from above, they didn't get much.

"The enemy is coming! I've got everything ready! Don't lose me later!" On a big ship, the commander of the Jiangling navy couldn't help but cursed when he saw the sloppy appearance of the soldiers.

"General, don't you know who the enemy is?" A soldier couldn't help asking.

"How do I know?" The commander of the Jiangling navy snorted coldly.

"I think it's the army of those untouchables in Dongting Lake?" said a captain next to him.

"Dongting Lake is in the lower reaches, so how can it come down from the upper reaches?" Another captain said.

"Strange, strange! Could it be that there are untouchables in the upper reaches making trouble?" said the former captain.

"Okay, needless to say! It should be just some untouchables, vulnerable! Our Jiangling navy is the strongest navy in the world today, no one can beat it! It's nothing to be a pariah!" The leader of the Jiangling navy said.

At this moment, Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan were also standing on a warship.

The two of them had already put on their red official uniforms, and they were both looking into the distance.

However, the wind and rain were so strong that it was impossible to see the scene ahead.

The two of them were also puzzled, not knowing who the enemy was.

"Come from upstream? Countless big ships? Strange! Master Huang, who are you?" Wang Boyan said.

"It's hard to say! There is no rebel army upstream?" Huang Qianshan was also very surprised.

"Master Huang, I have a guess in my mind." Wang Boyan said sharply.

"What guess?" Huang Qian said kindly.

"I don't know if this guess is true or not, but I hope it is false!" Wang Boyan said, frowning.

Seeing Wang Boyan's displeasure in speaking, Huang Qianshan smiled slightly and didn't ask any further questions.

At this moment, a black line appeared in the distance!

Then countless warships appeared in front of the Jiangling Navy!

The size of these warships is huge, and the specifications of the warships are basically the same. There are densely packed soldiers standing on top of the warships. All the soldiers are wearing black armor, and all the soldiers are holding crossbows in their hands!

The water surface of the ancient Yangtze River was much wider than the water surface of the current Yangtze River, and the water surface of more than ten miles long was full of huge warships!

Although the fleet on the opposite side hadn't come yet, the astonishing aura was already suffocating.

At this moment, no one dared to stand in front of this fleet.

Seeing this fleet, the 10,000 soldiers of the Jiangling Navy were immediately stunned.

"Not good! My guess is correct! It is Emperor Xuanwu of Sichuan and Shu, who led the army to the south! Master Huang, leave quickly!" Wang Boyan shouted in horror at this moment.

"Emperor Xuanwu! It turned out to be Emperor Xuanwu? How is this possible? Did he not want to close Shanxi? He came to Jiangnan at such a time?" Huang Qianshan said in a daze.

"Master Huang, escape from here quickly!" Wang Boyan hurriedly grabbed him and said.

"Hurry up and turn the bow!" Huang Qianshan yelled at the moment.

"Master Huang, the speed of turning the bow is too slow! Let's dive into the water and leave!" Wang Boyan said.

At that moment, Wang Boyan had jumped into the Yangtze River, Huang Qianshan was taken aback, gritted his teeth, and jumped down too! Countless sailors and soldiers around also jumped off together, and they hurried towards the river bank.

The speed of the big ship on the opposite side was extremely fast, and before the rest of the sailors could react, the big ships on the opposite side had already overwhelming the sky.

Then, the arrows rained down!

Countless crossbow arrows flew into the air, forming a strange scenery on the Yangtze River!

In an instant, there were screams everywhere!

Many sailors and soldiers fell into the Yangtze River. At this moment, the crossbow arrows are approaching, and they have no ability to resist at all!

As for the navy's warships, they have no ability to resist at all!

If they encounter the fishing boats of the ordinary peasant uprising army, they can still fight, but now they are facing a 100,000 elite water army from Sichuan and Shu!

After this wave of bows and arrows passed, the river was quiet for a while, and then the second wave of bows and arrows fell from the sky!

The sound of bows and arrows suppressed the sound of wind and rain, and there was only the sound of "swish swish" between heaven and earth!

After this wave passed, soon, the third wave of bows and arrows struck again!

Wu Jie has 50,000 god-armed archers under his command. In the face of such a blow, the Jiangling navy has only one dead end!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the river has completely calmed down!

The surface of the river has been stained red with blood, and countless corpses are floating on the surface of the river. The fleet of the Jiangling Navy is also staying alone in the Yangtze River at this moment, slowly floating with the water of the Yangtze River.

Zhao Chen and Wu Jie stood at the bow of the boat, the rain fell on them, and they could only feel refreshed.

"Pull away the fleet of Jiangling Navy on the opposite side, and let's move on!" Zhao Chen said.

Wu Jie nodded, and there were already soldiers heading towards the opposite fleet. They first took out the surviving Jiangling Navy officers and soldiers, and then dragged the warships to other places.

"Your Majesty, we caught two big fish!" At this moment, Wu Lin shouted from another boat.

"Oh? What kind of big fish?" Zhao Chen said.

"It's Huang Qianshan, the former prime minister of Jiangnan, and Wang Boyan, the deputy prime minister!" Wu Lin said.

"Send them to my ship!" Zhao Chen laughed.

*** ***

Not long after, Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan were sent to Zhao Chen's warship.

The two of them were escorted by the soldiers and knelt down on the deck of the ship. When they looked up, they could see a young man in a dragon robe standing in front of them.

This young man's appearance is somewhat similar to Zhao Gou's, but his eyes are much more tenacious than Zhao Gou's. When his eyes swept over, the two of them involuntarily lowered their heads! Even when they faced Zhao Gou before, they didn't feel this way. They couldn't bear the young man's stare!

Immediately, a name welled up in their hearts - Zhao Chen!

Except for Emperor Xuanwu of Hanzhong, who else has such gazes?

"Do you know who I am?" Zhao Chen said.

"You are His Majesty Xuanwu! My humble ministers Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan see Your Majesty!" Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan hurriedly bowed three times and bowed nine times.

"Let's all get flat!" Zhao Chen said.

Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan stood up, their height was about the same as Zhao Chen, but standing in front of Zhao Chen, for some reason, they felt that they were a head shorter. Huang Qianshan was horrified, thinking that the temperament of Emperor Xuanwu was far better than that of Emperor Jianyan, and he had underestimated Emperor Xuanwu before. He originally thought that Zhao Chen would surely die in this battle of Guanshan, but he didn't know that Zhao Chen led the army here.

"How about my sailors?" Zhao Chen asked, looking at the river in the distance.

"Very powerful, almost invincible in the world! Among the world's navy, no one can compare with your majesty's navy!" Huang Qian said kindly.

"Today, I personally led a 100,000 sailors into the south of the Yangtze River and went down the river without stopping, all the way to Lin'an. Do you think I can take down the Lin'an mansion?" Zhao Chen said.

"There should be no problem." Huang Qianshan said after a moment of silence.

"Your Majesty, there are still 30,000 imperial camps in Lin'an Mansion, so we must be careful about the imperial camps." Wang Boyan said.

"Your Majesty's army is so strong that a mere 30,000 imperial battalions are worthless! Your Majesty, the only thing you need to worry about is Zhao Gou escaping! Zhao Gou, a usurper, must not let him escape! Once he goes to Kaifeng and Chang'an, Zong Ze, Han Shizhong and others support him, but he is still His Majesty's great enemy." Huang Qianshan scolded Wang Boyan.

The two of them were well-known treacherous ministers in history, and now seeing that Zhao Chen did not execute them, they were overjoyed at the moment, and the first thing they thought of was how to please Zhao Chen. As for the former master Zhao Gou, they immediately included him in the ranks of "enemies", and they wanted to help Zhao Chen attack Zhao Gou.

"Thirty thousand imperial battalion? To be honest, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan of the Jiangnan imperial battalion have already pledged their allegiance to me!" Zhao Chen said.

"What!" Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan were stunned for a moment, and then the expressions of "ecstasy" appeared on their faces.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, it's impossible for Zhao Gou to escape! Your Majesty will become the ruler of the world!" Huang Qianshan said with great joy.

"Your Majesty is the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor, the legitimate king of the Song Dynasty, and he is the lord of the world! Your Majesty, we have no choice but to join Zhao Gou's court, but we have always been in Cao Ying and our hearts are in Han! But Zhao Gou seems He also saw our intentions, so he demoted us to the prefect of Jiangling and the prefect of Yueyang! Your Majesty, even if you don't come, we will send someone to contact you to welcome your arrival!" Wang Boyan hurriedly expressed his "loyalty".

"When I go to Jiangnan, the officials in Jiangnan, if they made mistakes in the past, as long as they are loyal to me now, they will forget the past! In addition, I have always employed people based on talents! You two are still the magistrates of Jiangling and Yueyang for the time being! If you really have If you are talented, you may not be able to get promoted in the future!" Zhao Chen said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan said with great joy.

Zhao Chen waved his hand. At that moment, someone took Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan to another boat and changed them into clean clothes, not to mention that.

"Your Majesty, these two are Zhao Gou's lackeys, why use them?" Wu Jie asked puzzled as the big ship was still going down the river.

"I want to quickly stabilize the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. On the one hand, I want to kill Zhao Gou, and on the other hand, I have to quickly win people's hearts! Everyone knows that Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan are Zhao Gou's former cronies. The rest of the officials will feel relieved! This is the principle of buying horse bones with thousands of dollars! In the future, I will establish law and order sooner or later. Now that they are loyal to me, I promise to give them positions! If in the future, they violate the law , I can’t protect them! Moreover, these traitors can become high-ranking officials in the south of the Yangtze River, how can they be mediocre people? It is impossible for a real mediocre person to become high-ranking officials! They also have talents, and I will use laws and rules to kill them. They were led to the right path! They have been corrupt in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and they have enough money, I will not accept their money, but they should do something for the country!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is brilliant!" Wu Jie nodded after thinking for a while.
