In 1161 (the thirty-first year of Shaoxing), the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty completed Yan Liang and personally led a large army of southern expeditions, divided into four roads, in an attempt to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.
The generals of the Song Army, who had already been frightened by the Jin Kingdom, when they heard that the Jin Army had come, their faces were as frightened as earth, and they could not live in fear for a long time.
When the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty heard of the invasion of the Jin Dynasty, he was afraid that the army would be unstable, so he sent Yu Yunwen, a Zhongshu she, to the front line of the quarry to comfort the army.
After Yu Yunwen came to the quarry, he saw that the morale of the army was low, and he felt that the situation was critical, so he urgently summoned the generals Zhang Zhen and Shi Jun, who were stationed here, to discuss the military situation.
At the meeting, he announced the order of the imperial court to resolutely resist Jin, and mobilized the soldiers to fight with the Jin soldiers to the death.
After the pre-war mobilization, the three armies were immediately rewarded, and at the same time, the local militia and the masses were organized to provide support, so that the defense of the quarry area suddenly improved.
In formulating the operational arrangements, Yu Yunwen divided the ships of the Song Dynasty naval army into five teams, one cruising on the river, two moored on the shore, and the other two hiding behind the mountain.
For infantry and cavalry, they were deployed along the river, each in charge of one of them.
Soon after the deployment was completed, the golden soldier's fleet drove in. When the warships sailed into the quarry river, they saw that there were not many ships of the Song army, and they were assured to march forward boldly. Hundreds of large ships faced the river wind, mightily, and sailed toward the south bank.
Not long after, the Golden Soldiers had begun to land one after another.
At the same time that the Jin soldiers landed one after another, the cavalry and infantry of the Song Army rushed to kill them, followed by the ordinary people of Dangtu, stretching for tens of miles, and the Jin soldiers were suddenly shocked.
When Jin Bing was still stunned, Yu Yunwen decisively ordered and attacked in an all-round way.
Shi Jun took the lead and rushed towards the enemy position with his double sword. As soon as the soldiers saw that the general had taken the lead in the charge, what were they waiting for, and rushed all the way to the enemy army with shouts.
Since the change of Jing Kang, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty became a prisoner of the Jin Dynasty, when did the Song Dynasty army see that the Jin soldiers only performed the "rabbit running" stunt, when did they have the resistance of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er? Therefore, such a counterattack first blinded them, destroyed the enemy position at once, and the Jin army suddenly collapsed.
The golden soldiers on land collapsed, and they lost even worse in the water battle.
why? Because the Ships of the Song Army were advanced, their "Flying Tiger Warships" played a great role.
The Song sergeant pedaled the pedal and drove the warship towards the Jin soldiers. This kind of flying tiger warship is small and flexible, while the large ship of the Jin Kingdom is more clumsy, and it is very inconvenient to turn around, and the Song ship rushes over, like a sharp steel knife, interspersed left and right in the middle of the Jin Army's fleet.
The enemy ships were sunk one after another.
The soldiers of the Golden Kingdom were from the north, most of them could not swim, their ships shook, many people fell into the water to feed the fish, and those who did not fall into the water also fell on the bed and stood unsteadily. This made the Song Army clean up for a while.
There was a fierce battle on this side, just when a group of Song troops escaped from Gwangju and passed by the quarry, Yu Yunwen ordered them to reorganize their ranks, distributed them with battle flags and serobulates, waved flags from behind the mountain, and beat snares to the river.
Jin Bing heard the drums of the earth shaking and saw countless flags dangling, thinking that the reinforcements of the Song Army had arrived, and they were immediately frightened and scattered to flee for their lives.
When Yan Liang marched, he was still satisfied, but he did not expect to encounter such a fiasco here, and he was suddenly furious and thunderous, and he vented all his anger on the soldiers.
He gathered the remnants of the soldiers and ordered the soldiers: "If you cannot cross the river within three days, you will be beheaded with the military minister." ”
The army that had lost the battle, he did not want to quickly appease, in order to stabilize the army's morale, but he issued such a fatal military order.
What the emperor said, it was a golden word, and it must be done. But the result of this was that all his subordinates would die. How can this be done?
What to do, only cold mix, life is important!
Therefore, the soldiers and horses under Yan Liang all commanded Yelü Yuanyi, the governor of the capital, Shan Shousu, and the Meng'an Tang Kuo Uye, and others, plotting a joint rebellion.
This day was still a dark day, and he was sleeping in the dream of a large army crossing the river, and when he heard movement outside the camp, he thought that the Song army had come to rob the camp, and hurriedly got up and dressed.
However, he was not yet dressed, and a few arrows were shot into the account, and after Yan Liang was hit by the arrows, he was still struggling there, and the rebels rushed up and directly killed him.
The emperors of the Jin Kingdom were dead, could this battle still be fought, so the Jin soldiers retreated north and returned.
After the new emperor of the Jin Dynasty completed Yan Yong's succession, he was called Jin Shizong. After repelling the Longxing Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty, he proposed peace, and later signed the Longxing Peace Agreement with the Southern Song Dynasty, which opened up a peaceful situation between the two sides for more than forty years.
So, who invented the new warship of the Song Dynasty to defeat the Jin Dynasty?
In fact, this kind of warship is really not an invention of the Song Dynasty, but an invention of the Tang Dynasty, and the inventor is a prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Gao, the Prince of Cao.
Li Gao used this kind of warship to beat li Xilie to make Li Xilie's ass and urine flow, but he did not think that 300 years later, this kind of warship would come in handy again when resisting Jin.
Li Gang, a famous minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, once described in detail this kind of warship, saying in his "The Complete Works of Liangxi, Volume 103, and the Discussion of the Zai Chancellor on the Thief Zhazi": "The jinghu lake car ship is the legacy of Tang Si Cao WangGao, and its large number is up to thirty or forty vehicles, with two wheels, drumming forward, and driving on the front horse. "The Flying Tiger Battleship, with four rounds, eight rounds per round, four people mediating, traveling thousands of miles a day."
At that time, people did not have a sense of protection of intellectual property rights, otherwise, the Southern Song Dynasty would have to pay patent fees for imitating such things. Even if Li Gao couldn't receive it, then his descendants could always come and collect it.
However, if Li Gao's descendants knew about the invention of his ancestors, it would be too late to be proud that they could come in handy when resisting the invasion of foreign races. As for the patent fees, it is considered to be a contribution to the country. I think they still have this realization.
