Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1138
The content of the announcement stated: At this time when the Liao thieves are going south in a large scale, the people are in dire straits, and the country is in dire straits, Zhao Mei, today's son, feels that he is too young and unable to take charge of the overall situation, so he will drive the Liao thieves out of the country and save tens of millions of people from suffering. At the same time, he also admitted 29 serious crimes committed by his father Zhao Dezhao, saying that he had issued the "Edict of Guilt" to the world on behalf of his father, and that the position of the Son of Heaven could not be obtained by the Ming Lord, otherwise the world would be in trouble.And the sage said: "The people are the most precious, the country is second, and the king is the least." For the sake of the country, the court and the country, and tens of millions of Li people, we should promote the virtuous as the emperor, so that we can turn the tide and save the country and the people from danger. middle.Looking at the world, the person who has this prestige, this ability, and is recognized by tens of millions of people in the world is none other than the Regent Ye Chen.

After these Zhaowen were proclaimed to the world in the name of the little emperor Zhao Mu, although the whole world was shocked and everyone was in an uproar, almost all the people took it for granted, because the statement that Ye Chen was the real name of the Son of Heaven sent by the heavens had already been accepted by almost all the people. recognized.But for some well-informed aristocratic families, powerful clans, and officials, they already knew that this was an inevitable result, and even if they had other thoughts in their hearts, they did not dare to reveal the slightest bit.

During this process, Ye Chen urgently ordered Huang Dongqiu to lead the 8 troops of the Xuanwu and White Wolf Legion after absorbing the surrendered troops from the Song Dynasty in Hedong, as well as the Zhelan and Black Wolf Legion who were originally stationed on Hedong Road and Yongxing Army Road. Ten thousand people, a total of 14 troops began to march towards Hebei to rescue Zhao Zan's [-] troops who were trapped in Zhending Mansion by the Liao army.At the same time, Li Jixun in the Daming Mansion followed Ye Chen's wishes and marched steadily northward to contain Shi Fatty and Xiao Wanda's troops.

On February [-]th, Gao Wuyang, the deputy captain of the special brigade, led [-] special brigade soldiers, sneaked to the outskirts of Zhending Mansion and hid in the mountains, and got in touch with Zhao Zan in the city.

Gao Wuyang and Zhao Zan agreed with each other that on the night of February 4th, the special forces would steal camp first, and then Zhao Zan in the city would lead more than [-] troops out of the city to fight in the field.

……

……

To the west of Zhending Mansion, on a grass-covered hill three miles away from the Liao army camp, a scout from the special brigade was using a telescope to observe information such as the deployment of the Liao army camp, grain and grass, and the location of the stables.The scout was surrounded by two team members. They were lying in the weeds, covered with a withered yellow camouflage cloth, and some dry branches and leaves were inserted into the hats on their heads.

"All the food and grass are concentrated in the middle of the camp, and the war horses are mainly concentrated on the east, west, north, south sides."

As the scout said, a team member next to him used a pencil to keep memorizing in a booklet, and even drew a schematic diagram of the part of the Liao army camp in front of him.

Similar to such a reconnaissance team, Gao Wuyang sent twelve groups today, because the Liao army's camp outside Zhending Mansion was divided into 12 yuan.About 5000 people per block.

Ye, Zishi, also known as Zhongye or Midnight, is the first hour of the twelve hours.It is also the time when humans sleep the deepest.The twelve camps of the Liao Army outside the city of Zhendingfu welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

Compared with the Liao army who fought with Huang Qiu's army outside the field these days, the Liao army outside Zhending Mansion has been attacking Zhending Mansion for more than two months, repeating the same thing day after day, and during this period Zhao Zan in the city never sent anyone out of the city to sneak attack, so it was inevitable that the Liao army's vigilance at night was a lot lax. There are two layers of sentries, and there are mobile sentries in the camp. The layout of the camp is also very reasonable. The food and grass are in the middle, the tents are surrounded by camping tents, and the horses are all around.

However, this kind of vigilance is nothing to the soldiers of the special brigade who have been trained for more than three years, especially in actual combat.

A total of 71 sentries were silently covered their mouths and cut their throats on the two outer cordons without making a sound.The number of people Gao Wuyang sent to sneak into each Liao army camp was actually not many, even only 15 people. According to the division of labor, there were two people in each of the four stables around, and seven people in the middle.

Twelve battalions are twelve groups, with a total of only 180 people, but these 180 people are the most outstanding 180 people of the special brigade for light work and night travel. Reflective, everyone has a backpack, which contains the key items for them to complete this mission.

Soon all the mobile sentries in the camp were silently killed, and 15 people successfully sneaked into their respective target points.

The 15 people quickly opened their backpacks, placed super-large gunpowder packs in the stable and beside the grain and grass, then took out the fuel packs, and poured them one by one in the middle of the Liao army camp, and finally lit the gunpowder packs that were far away from them. Far food or tents, and stables.

"Enemy attack!"

"on fire."

"It's over, the food is on fire."

When the 15 people left quietly and quickly to the edge of the camp, the fire of the Liao army was already very strong, and finally the Liao army was alarmed. All the Liao troops ran out with roaring and disheveled clothes. Kill the enemy.There are also headless BlazBlue running around.

This scene happened almost simultaneously in the twelve Liao Army camps outside Zhending Mansion.

However, generally speaking, the twelve Liao army battalions responded quickly, and the generals and officers were also organized very effectively.Some are guarding the perimeter, but most are fighting fires.

However, almost at the same time as the fire here, the four city gates of Zhending Mansion opened wide at the same time, and [-] Song troops each led by [-] cavalrymen charged the Liao army.The Liao army was shocked, and while some people were left to fight the fire, they organized some troops to mount their horses and intercept the Song army.

However, at this moment, the gunpowder packs hidden in the grain and in the stable exploded.This gunpowder bag is the largest gunpowder bag produced by the Equipment Department of Xiangfu Kingdom, weighing [-] jin.One can imagine the power of the explosion.

The final result was that three or 400 Liao troops participating in the fire fighting were killed and two or three hundred were injured, but this is not the main thing. The most important thing is that all the war horses were greatly frightened and fell into a state of panic.

Such a scene, although similar with minor differences, happened in the other eleven Liao army camps at almost the same time.

The camp was attacked at night, the food and tents were burned, and the horses ran away in fright. The Liao army failed to stabilize the horses during the night attack of the Song army, and Gao Wuyang divided the troops into twelve groups. Each of the two 300 people led four The grenade bombs, galloping horses from the outside, did not rush into the camp. When the distance was close enough, they threw the grenade bombs into the Liao army camp. One can imagine the result.

Zhao Zan thought it would be a good idea to take the opportunity to break through the siege, but he didn't expect to defeat the Liao army. In the night fire, one third of the Liao army was killed, and then they were completely defeated.Zhao Zan was worried that the Liao army was strong on the ground in Zhending Mansion, and it was night, so it was difficult to control the troops, so he did not continue to chase, but led people to start to put out the fire in the Liao army camp, and rescued nearly half of the Liao army All the food and grass in the camp were moved back to Zhending Prefecture before dawn.

In Kaifeng City, there were great differences and disputes in the court about the issue of the country's name.

According to Ye Chen's meaning, especially because Ye Chen respected Zhao Kuangyin quite much, so under the plea of ​​Cao Bin and Li Jixun, the founding emperor still placed Zhao Kuangyin's spirit seat in the royal ancestral temple.But the courtiers of Yuanxiang Xingguo firmly disagreed. This was an unbearable heart disease for them, the ancients who valued the inheritance of incense.The reason why Ye Chen agreed was because he came from later generations, and he didn't value these illusory names very much.But if this is the case, the country title of 'Song' is bound to continue to be used.

In addition, if Ye Chen can continue to use the title of Song Dynasty, Cao Bin, Li Jixun, Zhao Zan and other veteran officials who followed Zhao Kuangyin to conquer the world, as well as some scholars in the world, would be very grateful.In this way, Ye Chen will definitely be able to get the support of the people and the support of generals and officials from all over the country faster, and greatly shorten the period of national turmoil caused by the change of dynasty.

However, Ye Chen couldn't help but care about the selfishness of the confidants of Xiangfu Kingdom who wanted to become the true founding heroes and be famous for generations. However, these people did not continue to use the country title of 'Xiangfu', but studied and discussed it. After that, he tried his best to say that the country's name should be changed to "Xiang".In the end, Ye Chen proposed an ingenious way to decide this matter that people in this era have never thought of.

Ye Chen decided to let the millions of people in Kaifeng vote for the name of the country on behalf of the Liming people in the world. After Ye Chen explained carefully, the Kaifeng government mobilized more than 20 adult people in Kaifeng to vote.The result was as expected, but it was also unexpected that more than 90.00% of the people actually chose the name of the country as "Xiang". After Ye Chen asked people why the people chose "Xiang" as the name of the country, it was Some are ridiculous.The reason why the people choose "Xiang" as the name of the country is because they think the word "Xiang" is auspicious, while the word "Song" is generally considered unlucky because of the catastrophe that has affected several roads.

Such a result naturally made all the officials of Yuan Xiang Fu Kingdom very happy, but veteran officials such as Cao Bin, Li Jixun, and Zhao Zan couldn't say anything after wry smiles.

So far, the name of the country is Xiang, the history is called Daxiang Empire, and Ye Chen's reign name is Tianfu.

……

……

Daxiang Kingdom, Tianfu year, March [-]th.

Civil and military officials all wear official uniforms and gowns to congratulate, Ye Chen wears the emperor's crown and belt, builds the emperor's banner, goes out to the police station, rides a golden root car, drives nine horses, prepares five auxiliary cars, puts the head of the cloud, and dances and dances , ascended the altar to receive Zen, received imperial edicts, policies, and seals, accompanied by more than [-] people including ministers, princes, and generals, set fire to the heavens and the earth, the five mountains, and the four dunes, amnesty the world, and officially declared the establishment of the Daxiang Kingdom as the founding emperor of the Daxiang Kingdom , known as Emperor Xiangfu in history.
