Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The spring of the eleventh year of Xuanwu is here!

In the spring of this year, Zhao Zhe led an army of 100,000 troops to the south and entered Annan!

The Chinese people are much more interested in regaining Annan than in expulsing the Mongols! After all, in the eyes of most Chinese people, Annan belonged to the former land, and now the group of Annan's people are traitors from the Central Plains and must be eliminated! Moreover, Annan has a fixed territory and city, and it is much easier to attack Annan! In contrast, the Mongols on the grassland have no fixed place and live nomadicly. It is extremely difficult to encircle and suppress the Mongols.

Zhao Zhe went south in February, and the whole journey was like a broken bamboo. On March 15th, 100,000 Song troops came to the city of Jiaozhou!

Jiaozhou is the location of Hanoi in later generations of Vietnam. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was the largest ruling area in China! At the earliest time, Jiaozhou was governed by the later Guangzhou. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, Jiaozhou belonged to Wu State. Wu State divided Jiaozhou into two places, Jiaozhou and Guangzhou.

One hundred thousand Song troops surrounded this place, and they launched a fierce attack on Jiaozhou.

On the city wall, the Annan people are also struggling to resist!

The arrows flew like flying, and the shouts of killing shook the sky!

It was already late at night, and the Song army's attack still did not stop!

From March 15th to March 21st, for six days and six nights, the Annan soldiers on the Jiaozhou city wall were almost dead, and Jiaozhou was finally broken! Countless Song troops poured into Jiaozhou City.

Zhao Zhe led tens of thousands of main forces towards the center of Jiaozhou City, where Annan's so-called imperial palace was located.

At noon, the Song Army surrounded Annan Palace.

Half an hour later, the gate of Annan's palace opened, and an extremely beautiful woman came out with a child in yellow clothes in her arms. Countless Annan ministers followed behind the woman.

This woman is the Queen Mother Annan, and she is not yet twenty years old! That child is Li Yingzong of the Li Dynasty of Vietnam in history, but this Li Yingzong is only a three-year-old baby now, and now Annan is regented by the Empress Dowager Li, and that woman is Li Shi!

Li Shi fell to her knees on the ground, tears streaming down her face! Behind Li Shi, those Annan ministers also looked sad, and countless Annan ministers were also crying. They all know that Annan is over! From the beginning of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Annan became independent. In just two hundred years, Annan actually experienced two dynasties. Up to now, this dynasty has also come to an end! The Central Plains was unable to regain Annan before, but the Central Plains never recognized Annan's independence. Now the Central Plains' national strength is extremely strong, and Annan was finally completely destroyed.

Hearing his mother's cry, Li Yingzong, who was only three years old, also burst into tears.

"Come here, help the Queen Mother get up!" Zhao Zhe said loudly.

At this moment, Zhao Zhe's body was covered with dirt and blood, and his hair was extremely messy, but his face was full of excitement.

Finally captured Jiaozhou! The rest of Annan, the south, is much weaker than the north!

That night, more than 3,000 Song soldiers escorted the Empress Dowager Annan, the emperor, and ministers to the north. These people would be sent to Yanjing City, and Zhao Zhe continued to lead the army south.

In mid-April, the whole of Annan was recovered, but there were still people resisting in many places in Annan. Zhao Zhe's army was now scattered all over Annan.

On April 21st, Yu Yunwen came to Annan as the emperor's special envoy, and he met Zhao Zhe in the south of Jiaozhou.

Both of them were ministers from Guanshan, they had been in contact with each other when they were in Guanshan, and when they met now, both of them had smiles on their faces.

"Master Yu, I have ordered people to collect all kinds of documents in the Annan court, and they can be handed over to you at any time! Annan's size is not smaller than that of Goryeo, but the population is not as high as that of Goryeo. The population here is only 150. More than one hundred thousand." Zhao Zhe smiled as the two headed towards the barracks ahead.

The area of ​​Annan in this era is much smaller than that of Vietnam in later generations, only equivalent to the size of a province in the Central Plains! As for the population, the population density of most places in this era is extremely low, and Annan is no exception.

"The Government Council asked me to take charge of Annan's political affairs and establish a government in Annan! But before that, Annan still needs to implement military control! In the next six months or so, your army will stay in Annan!" Yu Yunwen said.

"The Annan people resisted much more fiercely than the Korean people! Although we defeated Annan, there was no peace everywhere! Many Annan people did not obey our rule." Zhao Zhe said.

"Before I came here, the Government Council and the military had discussed the issue of Annan several times. If the resistance here is really fierce, we can relocate a large number of Annan's population if necessary! Annan has only a population of more than 1.5 million, and we can Move half or more of the population to the north, and then 300,000 young people from the Production and Construction Corps will go south and enter Annan!" Yu Yunwen said.

"This..." Zhao Zhe had an unbelievable expression on his face.

"I will carefully examine Annan's situation, then make a decision, and report my opinions to His Majesty and the Government Affairs Council, and then Your Majesty and the Government Affairs Council will reply as soon as possible! We have recovered Annan, so we must make this place a part of the Great Song Dynasty." , can no longer let this place split! During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, they will split, and they will split again in the future. Then we will carry out a thorough exchange of blood here, so that all here will become citizens loyal to His Majesty and Song Dynasty, and let this place The culture, system, everything is the same as the Central Plains." Yu Yunwen said.

"I understand!" Zhao Zhe nodded.

*** ***

At this moment, in remote Siberia, in the extreme north, a large group of savages are running on the wasteland!

They were all unshaven, and their clothes were extremely worn out, but they held refined swords and other weapons in their hands.

They ran extremely fast, and as the sun set, a large piece of water appeared indistinctly in front of them, and surprise smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

They run faster, almost trying their best to move forward!

Finally, the boundless sea appeared in front of them again. This group of "savages" couldn't help but knelt down, and tears of excitement flowed from the eyes of many savages.

"We came to the beach again! It's great! After half a year, we finally came to the beach again!" The leading young man said excitedly.

This young man is none other than Wu Gong who parted with Wang Gui last July! And those people behind him are not savages, but naval soldiers of Song Dynasty!

"When we get to the beach, we can go back again! It's just that our boats can't be found!" said a person next to him.

All of them are in their twenties, and they are all elites in the military.

"The ship is gone, we can rebuild it! In fact, if we go all the way south along the land, we will definitely be able to return to our hometown!" Wu Gong laughed.

"General, we have spent half a year wandering around this piece of land. Although we have explored many places, we have not gained much! The place in front of us is extremely empty and has a lot of products, but it is too cold, not very It is suitable for living! General, I want to go to the sea again, maybe I can find some big islands!" said a young man with a dusty face next to him.

"I don't know what else is to the east of the sea? Last time we arrived at Kuye Island, we should actually continue to the east!" Wu Gong said with deep conviction.

Wu Gong stood by the sea and looked into the distance. Although it was already April, it was still very cold here! They walked for more than half a year and made a map, but the map was also very crude. After all, they were soldiers, not professional cartographers!

"General, let's go into the sea and take a look!" A soldier laughed.

"Okay!" Wu Gong thought for a long time before suddenly opening his mouth.

He is a person who likes to explore by nature. In his opinion, the experience in the past six months is much more interesting than the experience in Guanshan and Central Plains for many years! He even thinks that glory and wealth are not as good as adventure!

"Let's make a few small boats, and then go forward into the sea! We are all naval fighters, we have lived at sea for so long, even with small boats, we can go forward!" Wu Gong laughed loudly.

The soldiers next to him also laughed together.

"However, we have been missing for such a long time. The Navy Department will definitely look for us. We have to send people back to report to the Military Department! Also, we have killed many tigers and bears in the past six months. These white tiger skins and white bear skins are the best It is complete, but it is a gift to His Majesty, and we have to send it back together! We also want to tell Your Majesty that we have discovered the endless mountains and rivers in the north!" Wu Gong said.

The surrounding soldiers nodded one after another, with excited expressions on their faces.

They are all young men in their twenties, and they are all interested in exploration. Now that Wu Gong has decided to go east and enter the sea, everyone is naturally excited.

Early in the morning of the second day, they started making ships. Ten days later, more than 2,000 soldiers headed east one after another, and only a hundred people headed south, preparing to tell the news to the Navy Department.

Wu Gong set off in the morning and came to a small island at noon. There was a strange bird on this island. These birds were huge in size, with extremely short wings, and their bodies were black and white! Wu Gong drew this bird on a diary, and he recorded it almost every day along the way. He felt that he could show it to relatives and friends after returning home. This is also a rare and precious memory.

In fact, this bird is the giant arctic penguin! In later generations, the giant arctic penguin was already extinct, and now this kind of bird is still all over the arctic.

They continued to set off in the afternoon, and a cold wind blew from the north in the middle of the night!

Early the next morning, they saw the glacier on the sea, and the soldiers stood on the boat and cheered loudly.

At noon of the day, the boat docked again, and Wu Gong thought he had come to another big island, but he didn't know that this was where the North American continent was located! They crossed the Bering Strait, which is only 80 kilometers wide, and came to the North American continent from the Asian continent, with Alaska in front of them.
