    Zheng Yunming asked: "Where is Lu Wende?" Of course Lu Wende can no longer lead the army. As the first general in Jinghu under Jia Sidao, the old troops he led were coerced into rebellion by his younger brother. The imperial court took office with the appointment of the Supervisor's Office.  A punishment order was also issued, Lu Wende was beaten to the end, and he was kept in white clothes, waiting for further punishment. If it was according to the practice of the country, he would probably be relegated to the prison of Java Kingdom to think about his mistakes behind closed doors.  But one of the first things Zheng Yunming did after taking office was to write a letter to the court, stating Lu Wende's importance to the current war situation, and asking the court to suspend the punishment of Lu Wende and allow him to serve in the camp.  After all, Lu Wende was still nominally the highest military attach¨¦ in Jinghu, and he had considerable influence not only on the rest of the troops in Jinghu, but also on the former Xiangyang garrison that had defected to Mongolia.  In the past few days, Lu Wende sent his confidants one after another to deliver wax pill books to the old troops in Xiangyang City. Xiao Zhi moved them with reason and emotion, and finally persuaded most of the troops to leave Lu Wenhuan and return south on their own.  Based on this alone, Lu Wende can make up for his lax military management.  Not only that, Zheng Yunming hopes that this famous Huaidong warrior can play a greater role.  On the second day, Lu Wende, who was continuing to write to Lu Wenhuan in his room, received Zheng Yunming, who was supervising the army and horses of Beijing, Huaihe, Huaihe and Sichuan. The sudden arrival of this national minister surprised Lu Wende, but his intuition from many years of military service  Tell him the opportunity has come.  After Zheng Yunming sat down, his eyes fell on the letter on the desk that had not yet been completed. Although he could not see what was written on the letter, he also knew that Lu Wende could not write anything else at this time. He just sighed and said:  "When Lu Liu was serving in Huaidong, he was always famous for his bravery in the north and south. It's a pity that the military discipline was a little loose and the official motto was hindered. I thought he would be like Han Feng and Wei Sheng in the future. Unexpectedly, there was such a big change today."  Lu Wende gritted his teeth and said: "There are no such numbers of people in the Lu family who have forgotten their ancestors. A thief who betrays the emperor and deceives his father, I just ask the husband to give Lu a troop and horses, and let Lu personally lead the troops to Xiangyang, capture this thief, and offer his heart and soul to his tent.  "Come on!" He said it bitterly, but Zheng Yunming knew very well that Lu Wenhuan's rebellion was not a one-day effort. Jia Sidao was serving in Huaidong and promoted a more radical vassal policy than himself, which made his subordinates such as Lu Wende, Yu Jie, and Nie  Bin and other generations are more or less dominating one side, but Lu Wenhuan, because he is a relative of the general and has the protection of his brothers, has been doing lawless things since he was a boy. In order to use his bravery, Jia Sidao  Most of them don't interfere.  Now that Xianggong Jia suddenly turned his back and said he wanted to check the accounts, it was no wonder that Lu Wenhuan, who had always been domineering, found it unbearable.  But Zheng Yunming has always been opposed to the imperial court's policy of killing Lian, and opposing the killing of Lian seems to be a tradition of the Song Dynasty. It was rumored that Zongze killed his brother and appointed his brother to lead the army. Today, Zheng Yunming will follow his example and re-appoint Lu Wende, but  These two brothers are far more important than the rebel generals back then.  Zheng Yunming said bluntly: "Now that Lu Wenhuan has rebelled and eroded the foundation of the country, the general cannot prove his innocence unless he achieves extraordinary achievements. Fortunately, the opportunity to achieve unparalleled achievements is right in front of him. It depends on whether the general has the courage to risk his life."  Lu Wende was in such a situation today, but he could still gain Zheng Yunming's trust. After his brother's rebellion, he still appointed his brother as a senior commander to control the army. How much tolerance and trust did this require? Lu Wende asked himself if he was placed in Zheng Yunming's position.  He would never return the military power to himself with such trust.  But after all, Lu Wende is the number one general in Huaidong. At this moment, he is on the outside and sees the situation very clearly. He knows that it is not enough for just one person to gain the trust of Mr. Zheng.  "The impact of Lu Wenhuan's rebellion was extremely bad. In addition, the imperial court severely punished Xianggong Jia. The troops transferred from Huaidong to Jinghu were all suspicious. They were afraid of nothing else." Lu Wende also said directly and clearly to Zheng Yunming: "Yes  In order to protect his troops, Xianggong used Jia Xianggong's old troops as cannon fodder, and used the blood of Huaidong's children to pave the way for Zheng Xianggong's extraordinary achievements. " He spoke boldly, because he knew that Zheng Yunming would never do it because of these words.  He became furious. Maybe Xianggong Jia was bold and aggressive, but Xianggong Zheng's heart was incomparable to Xianggong Jia's.  Sure enough, Zheng Yunming was heard to say slowly but solemnly: "Tomorrow we will gather the old Huaisi troops in Hanyang, and I will speak to them personally." He squatted for a while and then said: "Especially the Sheyang navy, they must be summoned in order."  There was a faint light in Lu Wende's eyes, and he knew in his heart that this time the Huaidong Army's chance to turn around had really come.  The Mongolian army moved south, and Yingzhou, Ezhou and Jiangling were all besieged. Hanyang became the front line of resistance for the Song Dynasty. Most of the troops that retreated to the east of Huangzhou followed Zheng Yunming's main reinforcements and returned to the vicinity of Hanyang.  Among them, Jia Sidao's old Huaidong tribe has about 40,000 to 50,000 people, including many returned officers and soldiers who escaped from Xiangyang.  Early on the next morning, all armies received orders to go to the Yangtze River.During the concentration, many people were uneasy. Although Zheng Xianggong was an upright man and would not massacre the entire army on the riverside and do such an unbenevolent thing, he killed a few commanders.  Wei is also a normal thing.  As the saying goes, there are three things that make a new official take office, not to mention that Xianggong Jia was dismissed from office after losing Xiangyang. Even if Xianggong Zheng killed several of Xianggong Jia's confidants, the old Huaidong tribe would have nothing to say.  The banks of the Yangtze River were crowded with soldiers talking, but when they saw the ax and the red flag with a leopard tail raised high, everyone shut their mouths.  Zheng Yunming's strict military management has always been praised by the world. Losing one's head because of talking too much is the most stupid behavior.  ' But when I saw a young official in his early thirties on the general stage, wearing a purple robe and a royal belt, he shouted loudly: "Where are the Sheyang warships? The wreckage of the Mongolian warships on the Huaihe River is scattered for dozens of miles.  Where is the Sheyang boat!" Someone in the audience boldly responded loudly: "None of our fathers and sons in Sheyang are capable! It's a pity that they don't know how to play with the official's artillery and ships. If there is a boat in Sheyang Lake,  The Tatars will definitely suffer a big loss here!" Zheng Yunming laughed and pointed at the river: "Look what that is!" The sound of war drums on the river, the white waves rolling, and hundreds of warships were going upstream.  , drove towards Hanyang.  "Can't I, Zheng Yunming, see the bravery of the soldiers of Sheyang Lake? Couldn't the court not see it? How could the people of the world?" Zheng Yunming raised his voice and said: "Can't I really see it?  "Outside Shouchun City, you used forty assault boats to defeat Li Tan's five hundred troops. In the Yangzhou offensive and defensive battle, you took the lead and defeated Chahan's boat division. In the Anfeng defense battle, you took the lead.  , you defeated a thousand ships of the Mongols with a hundred ships, and you even sent boat divisions deep into Henan and Shandong to attack behind enemy lines!" Zheng Yunming understood that this water force that had followed Jia Sidao for many years was by no means some member of the DPRK.  As people claim, "Sheyang water bandits are arrogant and difficult to control. Only an ambitious guy like Jia Sidao will take them for his own use." Sheyang is a fighting force, no matter which officer comes to lead it.  As long as this team can inspire their fighting spirit and sense of honor, they will be able to demonstrate strong combat effectiveness.  "When I was in Lin'an, I had heard for a long time that the Sheyang Army was a very capable armed force, so I was very envious of it." Zheng Yunming said, "You know, when I was training the new army in Lin'an, I admired the Sheyang Army.  They are fierce and invincible, so they specially ordered the construction of 300 new and improved stern ships, and drilled them to prepare for the attack on the Sheyang Navy. I originally thought that as long as this newly established naval force could have seven of the Sheyang Navy.  I can also boast in front of Duke Jia about my successful combat effectiveness. Now that you all feel that the big ships in your hands are not convenient, I will make the decision and divide the three hundred ships brought with the army into half. No, divide them into two hundred ships and  You guys, how about I assign someone else to take over the big ship?" A burst of cheers erupted from the crowd.  Sheyang fishermen are tough and aggressive, and their specialty is driving a stern boat to carry out close-range collision tactics. Manipulating a heavy gunboat requires the cooperation of many people, a clear division of labor, and skillful cooperation. It cannot be practiced in one day. Moreover, the heavy gunboat is huge and difficult to maneuver.  Indeed, it gave the Sheyang sailors who were used to charging at close range a huge headache.  So Zheng Yunming proposed to let them trade the big ship for the light stern, which was actually an extremely enjoyable thing for these sailors.  Bai Yijie stood in the audience and couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Although Jia Sidao was confused in many aspects, he was absolutely clear-headed when it came to letting the Sheyang Navy replace its larger ships. Future naval battles would definitely feature stronger armor and more firepower.  In artillery battles between large warships, the chances of a fleet-footed stern rushing to join the battle will only decrease day by day. Jia Sidao would rather violate the war routine that Sheyang sailors are accustomed to, but also build a powerful gunboat force.  , which was originally a good thing.  It's a pity that the Xiangyang Incident happened so soon after he took office in Jinghu. His plan to build a close gunboat navy was wiped out by Zheng Yunming with just one word.  He stood behind Zheng Yunming and whispered: "My husband has used a few words to eliminate decades of trouble. Although it is a clever move, we must still find a way to defeat the Mongols' new warships." Zheng Yunming turned around with a serious look on his face.  Totally out of the ordinary: "At what point does the public minister still think that I am creating a faction? It is not the right time to create a faction. I can clearly tell you core members that the Broken Turtle Ship must be Sheyang  "You may not believe this, but within a few days, it will definitely come true." Bai Yijie naturally didn't believe it. The Dongting gunboats had been roaming the Yangtze River and Han River for ten years without ever encountering an opponent. The Zhejiang navy formed with Dongting sailors as its backbone,  Driving a larger Haihu gunboat to sail far away from Denglai, it used intensive firepower to destroy the maritime force that the Mongols had worked hard to build. Shandong scholars exclaimed that it was a "giant boat of sky fire". Such ships must be the direction of future water warfare.  , to deal with turtle ships, one must increase the number of artillery pieces.How can we build even bigger gunboats and leave the fate of the country to a group of small boats not much bigger than sampans and some Huaisi sailors?
