    "Now the efficiency of weaving a piece of cloth using the new method has increased several times." Bai Yijie sighed: "I didn't expect that the local Dongli's textile technology is even higher than that of the Central Plains." "Yazhou is located in the south, with abundant sunshine, which is very special  It is suitable for growing cotton, and the locals are good at cotton weaving. This is not surprising." Zheng Yunming stroked the cotton cloth and sighed: "It is true that when Su Zizhan was demoted to Yazhou, he did not notice Dongli's exquisite textile technology.  , It's a pity." Bai Yijie also shook his feather fan and retorted: "You are talking as if Dongpo layman went to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Yazhou is humid and hot, and it is really a natural prison in summer.  The mosquitoes in it are as big as white geese. If you take one bite, the cow will faint from blood loss. Are you still laughing at Su Dongpo for not discovering the exquisiteness of the Li people's textile technology? " Zheng Yunming laughed and said, "If there are really geese,  Big, Su Zizhan's small body is gone, how can he have a destiny? Let's get back to the topic, in addition to weaving, we also need to improve the dyeing technology. Only by working hard to increase the value of cloth can we establish local cotton's influence on the world's cloth.  If you can weave and dye colorful cloth, it will be sold for thousands of miles. "What you said is too exaggerated. If it can be sold for thousands of miles, it will be a profitable business." Bai Yijie shook his head and said, "How can it still be sold?"  Can you go overseas? "Zheng Yunming still did not answer directly: "No matter what, these things will only trouble you in the future, not mine. I have to concentrate on dealing with the Mongols' raging in Sichuan." "I'm worried.  This is exactly the problem." Bai Yijie raised his brows worriedly: "Currently, there are less than 50,000 soldiers in Shu, and most of them are old, weak and disabled soldiers who cannot bear to fight. Unlike Jinghu, once you enter Shu, the only people you can rely on are our own troops.  , How to compete with the Mongolian army of 100,000 people? " "I can't give you a clear answer now," Zheng Yunming said, "You know I never make judgments without knowing the details of the place.  It is extremely difficult for the Mongolian army to use its powerful cavalry in combat. According to temple calculations, there is always a 60% chance of victory. " "The key now is to be fast. We must rush to Kuizhou before the Mongols to fully deploy their defenses.  "Once Zheng Yunming decided on a strategy, he executed it as fast as lightning.  Within three days, thousands of officers and soldiers had loaded their baggage and weapons, and were ready to set off for the upper reaches to start new operations.  On the day the army set off, Zhao Kui, Meng Gong, and the civil and military officials from Xiangyang Prefecture gathered all the people in the city to see them off.  Zheng Yunming was stationed in Xiangyang for only one year, but his military discipline was strict and his soldiers were brave. He himself was very humble and courteous to ordinary people.  He has an excellent reputation among officials and people.  Now that the petty officials broke camp and entered Shu, the people spontaneously came to see them off.  Zheng Yunming was not happy with the grand farewell ceremony. According to his usual practice, after paying tribute to his superiors, colleagues and local elders, he secretly left the west gate and boarded his own boat.  As soon as he stepped onto the deck, Zheng Yunming heard a commotion on the shore. When he looked back, it was two young people who had a dispute because they were trying to get on Zheng Yunming's boat.  One of them was lanky and had a high-pitched voice. He shouted loudly: "I have a letter of recommendation for the system envoy. If anyone dares to stop me, don't blame my sword for not being sharp!" The other man was tall and tall. Although his voice was not high, he was firm and courageous.  , yelled: "I was recruited by the deputy capital official who wrote a letter, shouldn't I give way to you?" Zheng Yunming smiled bitterly. It seems that these two young people recommended by others are not easy to get along with.  He ordered: "Go and bring those two noisy guys to the boat." Han Feng received the order and immediately got off the boat and brought the two people up.  The two saw Zheng Yunming on the boat and paid homage to each other.  Zheng Yunming said to the burly young man: "Since there is a letter written by me, it must be Gauss? The mourning clothes have not been removed, and the crime of stealing love is only on me, but the Tatars have not been eliminated in Sichuan, how can a man sit back and watch?"  "Gaosde said with emotion: "My late father was killed by the Mongols in order to protect Shuzhong. I have to avenge this revenge with my own hands, so as soon as the deputy governor's letter arrived, I quickly set off to meet him. "Zheng Yunming again.  Turning to the tall and thin man, he looked up and down, but saw that this man had an extraordinary face and a very arrogant look on his eyebrows.  It seemed that the role Zhao Kui recommended to him might not be an easy one to manipulate, so he asked: "Who is Mr. Sir?" The man presented Zhao Kui's letter in his hand and said loudly: "Qizhou Yujie, now Qizhou  As the superintendent, I received a letter from Zhao Zhi to report to the deputy capital commander. "Zheng Yunming laughed: "Okay, okay, now all the famous bad tempers of the Song Dynasty have gathered together.  . It also saves you from making trouble everywhere. Now the Mongols claim to be 500,000, but we only have more than 10,000. If you follow me into Shu, aren't you afraid of being chopped off by the Mongols? "  Yu Jie responded loudly: "Eastern Sichuan is a mountainous area. As long as the vice-capital commander builds a city based on the mountains and connects the dots to form a line, how can Mongolia win the vice-capital commander even if it has millions of elite soldiers?"  He also said: "The people of Kuizhou are strong, the soldiers and the people are brave, and if the Vice-Capital makes good use of them, they will definitely achieve something." "Humph, it is easy to talk about it, but it is difficult to put it into practice. Now that you have boarded my ship, our destiny  They're tied together. It's life or death, don't complain." Zheng Yunming shouted: "Set the boat straight to the east of Sichuan!" There is a city called Wuxin City on Chengdu Road to the northeast of Jiading Prefecture.  The city, Wuxin City, is located on a hill, overlooking the Jialing River slowly flowing through it. It is a must-have for merchants and travelers, so it is very lively on weekdays.  However, since the Mongols invaded the West China Plain, people have been panicked, and large numbers of refugees can be seen fleeing eastward along the river every day.  It is said that the Mongols were looting and looting near Chengdu, killing everyone on sight. It was true that not even a chicken or a dog could escape from the clutches of the Tatars.  Wuxin City is a military fortress, but there are also many vendors and family members doing business on weekdays. Everyone reminded the city guard General Zhao to quickly close the city gate in case the Mongolian cavalry suddenly killed them by surprise.  But Old Zhao had his own ideas. Countless refugees fled through Wuxin City every day. Just paying the customs clearance fee made General Zhao smile from ear to ear. Why was he willing to close the city gate?  Someone else reminded him to control the lights at night. This was also a preparedness strategy to prevent the Mongols from discovering the location of the city.  But his officers and soldiers were extremely opposed to it. Who would be willing to patrol in the dark in the middle of the night?  As for the Mongols, maybe they should be satisfied after plundering Jincheng Tianfu. How can they come to a poor place like Jiading Prefecture? But sometimes war always comes with lightning speed and suddenly falls on unprepared people.  superior.  On January 19th, the first year of Jiaxi, the Lantern Festival has already passed, and the city is still decorated with lights and colorful lights.  Bonfires are lit at night to illuminate the whole city.  No one noticed that in the shadow of the mountains, a group of troops was quietly approaching Wuxin City.  ¡®When the large group of cavalry rushed into the city gate, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate did not even have time to respond effectively.  They watched helplessly as a large group of armored cavalry swarmed in. Although the flags of the troops could not be seen clearly in the darkness, the Shukou army with elite cavalry in central Sichuan was almost completely wiped out.  Who else could such a large group of cavalry be?  So the soldiers guarding the city dropped their weapons and fled in all directions almost as fast as a rabbit.  The large cavalry team rushed to the gate of the government office in Wuxin City. Dozens of soldiers dismounted and rushed into the government office, grabbing General Zhao from the bed who was sleeping peacefully with his concubine in his arms.  When General Zhao saw the menacing appearance of these people, he had no time to distinguish, and immediately shouted: "Grandpa Mongolia, spare your life! I, I am willing to surrender!" The leading "Mongolian" general laughed angrily and raised his hand with the gun in his hand.  The riding crop whipped Mr. Zhao's fat belly hard.  "You can see clearly how we are dressed. We can't even tell the difference between ourselves and the enemy. How can we talk about marching and fighting!" After he said this, General Zhao calmed down and looked at the incoming person carefully. Sure enough, the armor and the  Military uniforms are all in the style of the Song Dynasty.  Moreover, the visitor spoke with an authentic Jiangnan accent and was definitely not a military horse from the north.  He immediately took up the style of the local city guard and shouted dissatisfied: "Which part of you are you? Why did you enter the city without prior notice? If the generals don't recognize the flags and start fighting each other, who will bear the responsibility?" Zhu  Sheng whipped him in the stomach again: "You still have the mind to argue! Look at this city, with the lights brightly lit and the city gate open. Are you waiting for the Mongols to come in and kill people and set fire to the city? It's better if you do it early  He wanted to dedicate the entire city to the Mongols as a gift. At this time, if the Mongols really come to attack." Before he could finish speaking, a sergeant suddenly stumbled in from outside the door, breathing heavily.  He said angrily: "A large group of Mongolian cavalry was found more than ten miles in front of the commander. They should have discovered the lights of this city and were galloping towards here." When General Zhao heard this, he screamed,  He rolled his eyes and fainted.  Zhu Sheng angrily said to Han Feng: "You are so brave that you are still eating in the army. You are really useless and only eat the people's food and wages. Go and inform Commander Yao Zhong and lead 500 people to ambush at the east gate. I  Lead five hundred people to ambush at the west gate. There are only two entrances and exits to this castle, and we will see how the Mongolian army falls into our trap. " This Mongolian army has not encountered effective resistance from the Song army since it set off from Chengdu.  Kill everyone along the way.  Wolf Benzuo suddenly came here and saw that there was a brightly lit city here. He quickly pounced on it as if a hungry wolf had discovered its prey.  When hundreds of armored cavalry swarmed into the west gate of Wuxin City, they had not advanced a hundred steps. Suddenly, continuous torches lit up the streets on both sides, and countless arrows flew from both sides.Come on, two teams of gunmen rush out from directly in front and fire at them head-on.  A brave general led dozens of death squads to rush near the city gate and closed the city gate again. The Song army relied on firearm support to continuously divide the enemies in the encirclement, and soon annihilated this small group of enemies.
