Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

Someone asked, can these five warships dominate Asia?

Su Xia's national defense army all used iron-clad ships, which were fundamentally different from the wooden ships of the Northern Song Dynasty. Coupled with steam power and long-range artillery support, it was equivalent to the warships of the 18th century versus the warships of the 11th century. The result was naturally It's unclear.

However, the problem is that the number of artillery warships in Su Xia's national defense navy is still very small. This is due to the lack of iron ore raw materials. The construction of these warships has consumed the resources produced by China in the past. All iron ore!

War is never easy.

As for the Fuzhou Song Army's naval position, after experiencing the bombardment, although the navy did not have many casualties and had sufficient personnel, all the warships prepared for combat were destroyed.

On the sea, dilapidated trees and bombed warships were floating everywhere. Navy General Zhao Wuji looked at it all with dull eyes.

The deputy general on the side ran over in panic, "General Zhao, Lord Su Su committed suicide."

"What did you say? Where?"

"Right, right on the coast, took poison and committed suicide."

Zhao Wuji stumbled towards the beach. On the edge of the beach facing the north, Taiwei Su Yuanjing had committed suicide by taking poison. He saw this former veteran kneeling on the ground. As the last loyal man of the Song Dynasty, he originally wanted to fight the opponent and annihilate them all. Enemies.

But he never thought that the warship he had carefully prepared would be destroyed. With his family and life at stake, he had no face to face Jiangdong's elders. The emperor would not spare him, and the traitors in the court would seize the opportunity. , trying his best to bring himself to death.

Having reached this point, Su Yuanjing had no choice but to take the first step and commit suicide.

The navy general Zhao Wuji burst into tears. The more than 2 Song navy soldiers gathered here later turned into birds and beasts and scattered, and they all joined the various Forbidden Forces.

The first crusade of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty declared a failure due to the preemptive attack by the main force of Su Xia's navy to protect the country.

Zhao Ji, who was also shocked by Su Xia's action, sat down on his dragon chair. He understood that since Su Xia was able to send out troops to accurately attack his navy, he must have known that he was planning to join forces with the Jin Dynasty. The strategy of destroying China.

Even in negotiations, they did not have an advantage.

Now that things have happened, only Zhou Bin, the former magistrate of Dengzhou, has taken action again and made some Machiavellian tactics.

Zhou Bin never expected that he would be pushed to the forefront again.

As someone who had already been thrown into the abyss of eternal damnation, at this moment, he was actually pulled to the front again to visit China for them.

Dengzhouwei.

The former Dengzhou Guardhouse has now become the central city of China.

Zhou Bin led a group of officials from the Northern Song Dynasty as envoys to the city he once ruled, and was filled with emotion in his heart.

It is completely different from Dengzhou in the past. At this moment, due to re-planning, Dengzhou has built a large number of buildings with more than three floors and a Western style. The main roads in the city have also been widened. Compared with Bianjing, although it is prosperous The level was slightly lower, but the speed of construction of the building really made Zhou Bin a little stunned.

The person who came to greet him was Xiong Hui, Wu Yilang of the Dengzhou Guards and Salmon Island Xiangjun. At this moment, his identity was already the deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese National Defense Army and the top leader in charge of the secret service headquarters.

At the gate of Dengzhou Acropolis, these envoys from the Northern Song Dynasty had just passed the gate when they heard a shout: "Salute!"

One hundred soldiers in ceremonial attire lined up on both sides, all wearing battle armor and red clothes. Each of them was over seven feet tall. They were highly concentrated and held a gun salute to Zhou Bin and others.

These people were specially arranged by Su Xia, called honor guards. Su Xia specially arranged to show the glory of the army when the envoys of the Northern Song Dynasty entered the city gate.

Zhou Bin had also seen many Imperial Guards of the Northern Song Dynasty. He had also seen the Tianwu Army in the past, but seeing the spirit of Su Xiahua's National Guard Army today, he suddenly understood why Gu Tingye was defeated.

According to the development trend of China, I am afraid that in another ten years, the Northern Song Dynasty... will be in danger.

This time he came here with authority. Zhao Ji and the ministers warned themselves that they could never cede land again.

But seeing this situation, we will not cede the land of more than two states,,,,,,

This is really a sad thing.

Su Xia must have wanted the land along Hebei East Road (today's Hebei, Beijing, and Tianjin).

Zhou Bin was indeed worried. If the negotiations failed or more land was ceded, Zhao Ji would definitely be dissatisfied.

As for the remaining ministers in the court, Li Bangyan, Gao Qiu, Cai Jing and others will definitely blame themselves for the failure of the negotiations.

It's really a rush.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Bin, who was thinking a lot in his mind, had arrived at a four-story building with domineering decoration outside Dengzhou Mansion.

As soon as Xiong Hui got off the car and saw this four-story building, he understood that this should be the political center of China.

This four-story building doesn't have many edges and corners. It's boxy and has a bit of a Western-style construction. In addition, the windows made of glass are very beautiful when reflected in the sunlight.

Xiong Hui led a group of officials to the rear. Next to Xiong Hui was Liu Yanqing, the former commander of the Western Army. His current position is the deputy commander of the Army of the National Guard and the commander-in-chief of the Western Army affiliated to the National Guard.

This time, a representative of the military attache also came to participate, and the other one was Zongze, who had been consolidating the economy of China in the rear.

When these people met, they naturally responded with each other, and the etiquette that should be done was still done.

Xiong Hui still respected him: "Mr. Zhou, it's been a long time since we said goodbye to Dengzhou, and we haven't seen each other for several years."

Xiong Hui's face was full of embarrassment. In the past, he was a magistrate, but now, Wu Yilang in front of him has become an important figure in China.

Thinking of this, Xiong Hui was filled with emotion in his heart. He was followed by these two people. One of them was an internal agent in Zhao Ji's palace. What this person did was to supervise whether he said anything wrong. Not very high, and the other one is also a fledgling official.

Because visiting China is not something everyone likes to do, the imperial court temporarily promoted this small official. This person was none other than Yuan Wenjing, whom Su Xia had met once in Bianjing.

(For details, see Chapter 29 of this book - Sun Shan is a great talent even though he has lost his reputation)

This Yuan Wenjing met Su Xia a few years ago in a tavern outside Bianliang, Tokyo. Later, as a Jinshi, she was assigned to a remote county as a candidate for the county magistrate. For several years, it was not working. He was depressed and frustrated until the imperial court recommended officials to visit China.

No one dared to go, but Yuan Wenjing recommended herself, and then she was promoted to three levels in a row, from the ninth-level Sesame Officer to the sixth-level!
