    Chapter 262 The Safest Place Liang Hongyu came to Ouyang and said sadly: "We are going to lose." "Of course there are wins and losses." Ouyang comforted: "What are you afraid of?" "If I had known I should have let you go, I would have let you go.  Because I want you to accompany me, but" "You don't have to say that, husband and wife." Ouyang said with a smile, "I think you need to arrange a ship breakout, at least one, to send a message and let General Yue bring people to destroy them." "Yes.  " Zhan Ming appeared in front of Ouyang like a messenger from hell, covered in blood.  Ouyang was startled and asked: "Is your blood still someone else's?" Zhan Ming took out the wine from his arms and took a sip and said proudly: "It's still someone else's for the time being." "Zhan Ming, a ship will break out of the encirclement soon, you follow this  Let¡¯s go together,¡± Ouyang said. ¡°What about you, sir?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t run for my life. I¡¯ll let my wife die.¡± Ouyang said, ¡°She¡¯s the boss. She can¡¯t run away.¡± Zhan Ming said, ¡°Do you want me to run for my life?¡±  "I will not die." Ouyang said, "I will surrender. You still have Huilan to take care of." "Haha," Zhan Ming laughed and said, "Sir, today's battle is not in vain.  She has been practicing martial arts for more than twenty years. As for Huilan, don't worry, she will take care of herself. Besides, there are so many people in Yangping. I wonder if they will build a monument for us. "The only pity is," Ouyang said.  You don¡¯t have to spend all your money to buy insurance to pay for Myolie Wu.¡± Zhan Ming took another sip of wine and said, ¡°Sir, I¡¯m going to take care of you. See you in the next life?¡± Ouyang said hurriedly: ¡°Remember to find me, I¡¯m a police officer.  Number Hey, what is that? " "What?" Zhan Ming looked at it and saw dense black spots at the end of the water in the east, and he quickly saw that they were rail poles.  Everyone slowed down their attacks, and nearly thirty warships appeared on the horizon.  Ouyang said: "Guess, what kind of ship is it?" "Can't see clearly" "No need to look, there is only one answer for what can appear in the waters near here." Ouyang Xi said: "Li Bao is back." Li Bao left in vain.  Ling Strait comes from the north.  To go to the Song Dynasty, you must pass through the Sea of ??Japan.  That is the area where the battle is taking place now.  This route is also the shortest flight distance.  The lookout on the flagship shouted excitedly: "Ship No. 1 said it was a ship from the Song Dynasty."  Li Bao was taking a nap when he suddenly heard a noise and hurriedly came out to see what a huge war scene was a few thousand meters away.  Immediately fire cannons and prepare for battle.  Soon the lookout reported: "The report is from General Liang and the Jurchens." "You will get a vote as soon as you come back." Li Bao shouted: "Three roads are rushing together, and you are not allowed to let go of a Jurchen ship." Eighty ships went out to fight.  Ships, Li Bao took the north route and took away thirty ships. Except for a few ships that were delayed for repairs, all their combat capabilities were here.  The morale of the Song army rose sharply, but the Jurchens were still fighting to death.  The Jurchens had a small population, but they were able to bankrupt the Liao Kingdom. One reason was naturally that they were good at fighting, and another reason was that they had many outstanding commanders.  Wanyan Loushi is one of the best.  Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he immediately ordered several ships from the periphery to break out with the wind. The Jurchens could not compare with the great cause of the Song family. If one ship was destroyed, one would be lost.  A strong man's broken arm can only be sacrificed by the ships entangled in close combat.  The compensation is determined, but we should pay less.  Once out of the battle and able to enter the night before being overtaken, the Song army would be helpless no matter how powerful they were.  Of course Liang Hongyu knew the enemy¡¯s intentions and the dangers of these warships escaping.  The sea is vast, and it will be difficult to destroy the Jurchen fleet.  Even if only one Jurchen warship escapes, they can attack merchant ships at sea flexibly and freely.  But in the current war, the Song people still suffered the loss, and Liang Hongyu could not find a way to escape.  I can only watch the Jurchens escaping in boats. ?¡­ ?At last count, seven Jurchen ships had successfully evacuated.  This is really not good news for Song Jun.  As night fell and the battlefield was difficult to clear, Li Bao did not meet with Liang Hongyu for the time being. The two sides began to search and rescue the fallen soldiers at sea and count the number of people.  Early the next morning, the two flagships met and presented the loss data.  One Song ship was robbed, the supply ship sank, two ships were sunk, and more than 30% of the soldiers were killed or injured.  Two Jurchen ships were captured, seven were sunk, and three Jurchen ships were scuttled.  Pretty tragic data.  After sorting out Captain Liang Hongyu¡¯s stone, the soldiers boiled water to make tea, and Li Bao told his story.  As Li Bao experienced a storm in the Beiyao area, most of the ships were seriously damaged.  It was already October when it arrived in Russian waters after repairs.  Due to the cold weather, we could only stop at the Russian dock to rest until the beginning of next spring.  Then pass through the Arctic Ocean to the Bering Strait.  Li Bao led his team to Alaska.  There they saw the wonder of the sun never setting.  Li Bao met the local Eskimos, Indians and Aleuts.  In Alaska, ?A large number of animal resources have been discovered.  The most important thing is that Li Bao found a lot of gold in the river.  After some minor conflicts, Li Bao finally obtained the consent of the three tribes and circled more than 10,000 acres of land around the Bering Strait, which became the territory of the Song Dynasty.  Li Bao also found that there was no difference in appearance between the local people and the Song people.  After consulting ancient classics, there is certain evidence that the ancestors of these people are inextricably linked to the original ones.  Although there was a bit of conflict, Li Bao had many capable people who taught local residents how to make tools and helped locals understand herbal medicine. Later, everyone had a good relationship.  In the end, they agreed to allocate land to the Song Dynasty.  Of course, that piece of land was an unclaimed land, with only the scattered lives of the three tribes.  It is impossible for the three tribes to unite to deal with the thousands of well-equipped Song troops.  Coupled with Song Jun's sincere attitude and his promise to bring materials and technology from the original area to the three tribes, it was finally decided.  With this delay, another year passed, so Li Bao came back a year later than Liang Hongyu.  After Li Bao finished talking about his experience, he began to ask about the situation in Song Dynasty.  Ouyang took the trouble to talk about the changes in the court and military.  For example, the fall of Xixia, such as the current war against Liao and Jin, etc.  Li Bao was extremely excited after hearing this. The fleet was not needed to defeat Xixia, but it was very useful to defeat Liao and Jin.  Since the Jurchen ship fled without a trace, Liang Hongyu also gave up the encirclement and suppression campaign.  The ship with Li Bao began to return to Song Haizhou.  Most of the ships need to be repaired, and Li Bao has to go to Tokyo to meet Zhao Yu.  Yue Fei of Haizhou also had to readjust his strategy to destroy the Jurchen fleet.  To exterminate, we must send enough warships to search at sea and send detailed inquiries on land.  As a result, the ships will not be enough to support the transportation of materials and personnel on the Hebei East Road.  Even if merchant ships are mobilized for transportation, sufficient escort ships must be equipped.  The Jurchens still have at least seven warships, which means that each formation must have at least ten warships for encirclement, suppression or protection.  Alaska was named Changzhou by Li Bao, which means long days and long nights.  The gold found in the river there and the potential animal leather business will inevitably lead to a new wave of gold mining.  You know, it¡¯s really not that far from Song Dynasty to Changzhou.  Ouyang felt that Liang Hongyu¡¯s job was really not a good one.  The sea is not as good as the land. On land, generals with the rank of general or above are rarely responsible for leading the charge.  I originally planned to go on a trip to visit my wife, but I almost lost my life.  When the fleet was about to arrive in Haizhou, Ouyang expressed his feelings to Liang Hongyu. Liang Hongyu said that it was impossible for a general to be without danger, but she would take care of her own safety to reassure Ouyang.  Then Yue Fei asked Ouyang to help research the possible location of the remaining Jurchen warships.  "The Jurchen warships have been damaged to a certain extent," Yue Fei said, "but I believe that they must not dare to repair and supply supplies at the Jurchen dock. Wanyan Loushi is a famous general, and he must know that our fleet will send a fleet to search. But Mr. Ou,  There are really not many warships that I can send out for encirclement and suppression. It is impossible to search everywhere. "Ouyang understands Yue Fei's difficulties. The most important thing at the moment is to ensure the transportation of personnel and materials on the Hebei Military Road.  Because the countdown to large-scale war has entered.  It is impossible to ask for a change in the most important strategy of the Song Dynasty because of the seven Jurchen warships.  Ouyang asked: "General Yue, how many ships are available?" "General Li and General Liang's ships will need at least a month or more for major or minor repairs." Yue Fei calculated: "Only the ten ships of my headquarters are free.  , you can row out first and hand over to General Liang's command. "Ten ships don't even dare to divide the troops.  Ouyang could only say helplessly: "That's the only way it can be." Yue Fei said: "We can only wait for detailed news, hoping to catch him in one fell swoop." "Well" Yue Fei saw Liang Hongyu coming back, and he also took time off because of necessary official duties.  Dengzhou and took away ten warships of the headquarters.  Ten warships were left to Liang Hongyu.  These ten ships are no ordinary warships. They are equipped with the latest research results of Yangping Military Factory and cannonballs.  The cost of blooming artillery shells is very high, and the process of the ignition device in the artillery shells is relatively complicated.  The principle is indeed simple. It is equivalent to a cannon firing a hand cannon. When the hand cannon is fired, it ignites the fuse and explodes at a certain time.  The biggest process in this step is on the cannonballs. Because they are all done manually, if a cannonball is not made well, it is likely to explode in the barrel.  Therefore, all the artillery shells were manufactured by Yangping Military Factory. Except for the three hundred here, the other hundreds were given to Yongxing Military Road.  Liang Hongyu and Ouyang looked at the sea chart on the boat and asked: "Official, where do you think these Jurchens will be hiding?" The Jurchens need supplies and repairs. Once completed, they will be broken into pieces in the future, which will greatly endanger the safety of sailing on the sea.  The best time is now to gather the enemies together and annihilate them.  "The distance between the Jurchens and Japan is really not that far." Ouyang said: "The Jurchens have a good relationship with Goryeo, and there is the Tartar Strait heading north. In terms of supplies, the artillery shells can only go back to the Jurchens, but in terms of repairs, they can be found everywhere.  It¡¯s all OK. ¡°No radar, no early warning aircraft, no reconnaissance aircraft, no satellites.  Relying on a small fleet to find seven ships on the vast sea.?, it¡¯s like looking for a needle in a haystack.  Liang Hongyu took out the sea chart and sat on the ground to study: "Officer, I don't think the Jurchens will go to Goryeo. Even if the Goryeo Kingdom is willing to take them in, there is no guarantee that the Goryeo people will inform them privately. Besides, the Song Army is using Goryeo to deploy its troops. The Jurchens  The Koreans should not be trusted. Wanyan Loushi is a famous general and will definitely not take the risk of choosing Korea for repairs and supplies. ¡°Well, actually we also know that the Jurchens do not have supply ships.  Based on the damage to their ship at the time, it was impossible to run too far.  "The ship was injured, and there was no wood provided by the supply ship, so it was impossible to repair while walking on the sea. So Ouyang's analysis still makes sense. "I think it is most likely that it went to a port in Japan.  "Liang Hongyu said: "I have long heard that the Jurchens used sea ships to Japan many times to plunder the population after the Battle of Hubugangda.  I believe they are very familiar with Japan.  Ouyang shook his head: "Just because they have plundered many times, and Japan has a good relationship with Song Dynasty, I don't think they will go to Japan. Japan is not unarmed. I think at this time they should find the safest place."  " "The safest place?  Liang Hongyu said: "Is it still at the Jurchen port?"  As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.  General Yue said they would not return to the Jurchens, but if they do the opposite" "Silly wife.  Ouyang smiled bitterly: "The most dangerous and safest place is not suitable for them."  Because they simply could not estimate that General Yue would veto their decision to stay with the Jurchens.  To be honest, if it were you, would your first thought be that they were hiding in a certain port of Jurchen?  " "Then where is the most dangerous and safest place?  " "This means reverse thinking.  Think of places that the other person would never think of.  Where is the most dangerous place in the vast ocean?  " Liang Hongyu replied without thinking: "Of course it is the port of our fleet.  " Ouyang had a flash of inspiration, looked at the chart and said: "Maybe I guessed it.  "    "where?  " "Tianyin Town.  Ouyang explained: "This place is good, and all the people who come here are the Forbidden Army from Hebei Military Road."  But every few days, ships from the Hangzhou fleet would arrive to transport supplies and troops.  The Jurchens' ships are not much different from ours, except that they are missing a flag. Don't forget that they also captured our warships, which had a lot of men on them.  Liang Hongyu said happily: "The Jurchens captured our Song warship, and they have our Song army's clothes and flags."  The most important point is that the formation of the Hangzhou fleet is quite special.  There is the Yuanhang headquarters led by me, General Yue is stationed at the Song headquarters, and now General Li is back at the headquarters.  The Hangzhou fleet has expanded a lot, and many generals are unfamiliar with each other.  Moreover, the ship is on a different landmass, so it is difficult for everyone to meet each other.  But Officer, do the Jurchens understand the flag language?  "The boats will say hello to each other. "I should ask a few people who know.  Ouyang said: "I believe Wanyan Loushi will understand, otherwise he would not devise a way to use the sound of drums and gongs to convey the message."  "For repairs in Goryeo, due to the busy docks, the ship can only carry the materials and berth in the waters near the port, and then the crew on the ship performs the repairs themselves. If it is a mature military port like Dengzhou, Haizhou or Hangzhou, it will  Being able to enter the port directly for repairs, of course, military ports have very strict management and there are many garrisons. Ouyang believes that they will not be so bold as to go to a purely military port site. Liang Hongyu said: "The official means to gamble.  Yin Zhen?  " "I think this is okay.  "Ouyang said: "At least it can prevent the Jurchens from getting supplies of heavy artillery, hand cannons, and food and ammunition.  " "Well, the Jurchens have very few firearms.  Liang Hongyu felt that it was reasonable and said: "I agree with the officials. There is only one place near the sea area where firearms can be supplied. They should take the risk."  " The organization is relatively chaotic. This is what Ouyang and Liang Hongyu concluded about the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty when they were husband and wife. The main reason is that there is no identification. For example, we often talk about the First Army, the Second Army, and the 100th Regiment. The Forbidden Army  The units are relatively scattered and do not have unified numbers. Moreover, there is no obvious military rank system for generals and above. For example, when the Hebei Military Road detachment enters the Northwest Military Road, it is difficult for anyone to check if there is any problem.  In the war against Xixia, the generals often died or escaped, resulting in the soldiers being dispersed. If the military rank system was in place, the lower-level officers could take over the orders from the commanders and assemble the scattered troops as a plan for building the army.  Han Shizhong has submitted the letter to the court with the purpose of establishing a military rank system. Soldiers should no longer obey whoever has the highest rank, but should have lower-level military ranks obey higher-level military ranks, and then establish an identification system based on roads.  Not only can they be clearly identified at a glance, but there is also a certificate when collecting corpses. Han Chinese, Jurchens, and Liao people are all yellow-skinned. Even if they rely on clothing identification, many of them can only be cured because of facial injuries.??Buried without even a name on the tombstone.  Taking advantage of the chaos in the organization, both Liang Hongyu and Ouyang believed that if the Jurchens were brave enough, they could really get supplies from Tianyin Town.  So Liang Hongyu, as deputy general, ordered the warship to prepare for the voyage.  In the early morning of the third day after Yue Fei left, a neat formation of warships sailed towards Tianyin Town in Goryeo.  Zhan Ming has learned a lot this time. Men are naturally heroic. Not everyone can have such an exciting life.  Defending the enemy with famous Jurchen generals and fighting bloody battles at sea made Zhan Ming feel that his trip was worthwhile.  Zhan Ming was not idle either. He taught Liang Hongyu's soldiers the simplest moves in close combat on the ship.  Zhan Ming mainly teaches one thing, the coordination of the left and right hands.  The soldiers use short blades less than two feet long, with the main hand for attack and the off-hand for defense.  Zhan Ming particularly emphasized that in the last large-scale deck battle, both the Jurchens and the Song people had a shortcoming in fighting, that is, using a certain amount of strength to use a certain amount of strength.  Avoiding the enemy's attack, controlling the speed of the enemy's attack with the off-hand, and quickly dealing with the enemy with the main hand is a very necessary skill in deck warfare.  Zhan Ming drew a map of the fatal vital points of the human body.  And it explains the fatal power of the short blade and the shortcomings of the short blade.  This set of training methods has been passed down by the fleet, which will give the fleet an advantage in close combat in the future.  Under the setting sun, Zhan Ming and Ouyang drank wine and chatted on the deck.  Ouyang looked still practicing hard on the deck and asked: "How is the training?" "The main thing is that they are willing to learn." Zhan Ming said: "These people have fought in the war and know that life and death are on the line. They learn very quickly." "Well,  We are going to Tianyin tomorrow, whether there are Jurchens or not, we have to leave." Zhan Ming smiled and said, "Sir, if I were not thinking about my wife and children, if I were ten years younger, I would have gone to the army." "  There are a lot of people." Ouyang said: "The Song Dynasty is not short of famous generals, not short of soldiers, but it is short of managers. If you want to go, I won't let you go. Who will take care of Yangping?"
