- In October of the first year of Wei, at the mouth of Yushui River.
Although the rainy season has passed in Lingnan in October, it is still hot, humid and miasmatic. It coincides with the autumn tiger season, which is the most difficult to endure.
There are many unexpected typhoons this year. In October, the sea surface is still not calm. There was a typhoon just a few days ago. In order to avoid the typhoon, the fishermen along the coast all returned their fishing boats to the port and the fishermen returned home. The entire Yushui Kou seemed quieter and quieter amid the wind and waves. Only the sound of waves crashing on the shore makes this noisy and quiet autumn not so silent.
But this day is different from before.
On the wide sea, the figure of a ship suddenly appeared. From far to near, its body became larger and larger. His mountain-like body could be seen from two miles away.
The ships on the sea were only sporadic at first, but then there were more and more, and finally there were one ship after another, as if they were connected to the sky, with no end in sight.
No one knows where this group of ships came from, only the big "Sui" flag fluttering in the wind.
This kind of fleet is the Shenwei Guard of the Sui Army coming across the sea.
This force has been formed for more than half a year, and its main purpose is to attack south across the sea and raid Guangzhou. However, the plan never came to fruition, and Huang Mingyuan pushed the action time from July to September.
The reason is that Huang Mingyuan has been waiting for Chen Leng.
In the entire Sui Dynasty, only Chen Leng had experience in cross-sea combat.
After the Battle of Yuzhang, Chen Leng was immediately transferred to the position of Chief Superintendent of Shenwei Guards. He went straight from Huancheng to Hu Douzhou, and then followed the southward fleet here, and then went straight to Guangzhou.
Chen Leng is not even familiar with the situation in the army.
At this time, on the deck of the tallest ship, Chen Leng held a telescope and stared at the land opposite.
Deng Hao on the side was holding his belly and could not stand steadily.
"Life at sea for more than half a month has been terrible. My old Deng vomits so much every day that he has to vomit out bile, but the manager is not okay at all."
Chen Leng continued to look at the opposite side and said casually: "When the Shenwei Guards were formed, they were all soldiers from the south who were good at water. Duke Wei clearly requested that our army should be able to fight on land and water. After all, you also served as an official in the Southern Dynasties. I can¡¯t even sit on the boat.¡±
"Can this river be as good as the sea?"
Chen Leng no longer answered, but pointed to the distance and said: "Nanhai City is ahead of us. How can you still fight if you are exhausted like this?"
"able!"
Deng Hao immediately supported the deck and stood up.
Deng Hao, as an old man who was the general manager of Yingzhou during the Kaihuang period, has completely bowed to Huang Mingyuan after so many years of going around. Huang Mingyuan also thought that Deng Hao had served as an official in Jiangnan, Liaoxi, Mobei and other places, and had access to both land and water, so he appointed him as the deputy general manager of the newly established Shenwei Guard and followed Chen Leng in the southern expedition.
Deng Hao has wasted more than ten years. Although he is older, his desire to make contributions has become stronger. The world is about to be settled, and for Deng Hao, this is his last chance.
"Where is the South China Sea? Why can't I see it?"
After hearing this, Chen Leng casually handed the telescope in his hand to Deng Hao.
Deng Hao looked around excitedly, and finally a huge city came into view.
Not far up from Yushuikou, there is a strong city standing.
Unlike most cities in Lingnan, this city is tall, precipitous and majestic, making people feel excited at the first sight.
This city is the seat of Nanhai County, which is governed by Nanhai County. Of course, most people call it Panyu or Guangzhou City.
If future generations evaluate historical central cities, they should be here. In Chinese history, only four cities have served as regional capitals for more than two thousand years, namely Taiyuan, Chengdu, Guangzhou and Xi'an, and they have not been replaced until later generations, which shows their historical heritage.
The land of Lingnan was mostly known as barbaric at that time, but Nanhai was the only place north of Lingnan that people considered a city.
However, after the Lingnan Rebellion, Gao Facheng and Xian Baoche rebelled and occupied most of Xin'an County and Nanhai County. Nanhai City also fell into the hands of the Xian family.
Xian Baoche has the glory of his ancestors. As the first chief in Lingnan and occupying the South China Sea, he is unparalleled in power. He made judgments on the Dongs and ordered the barbarians, and for a while he looked like the leader of the Lingnan League.
At this moment 7 5zw.com Zhang Si. Previously, the Sui Dynasty had been fighting in the Central Plains and Jingxiang, and could not spare any time. At this time, I finally had enough energy to worry about Lingnan affairs.
For Huang Mingyuan, Lingnan is not a dispensable wasteland. If Lingnan is unstable, Jiaozhi will be unstable, and if Jiaozhi is unstable, Tiannan will be unstable. If Tiannan is not stable, the food supply of the Sui Dynasty will not be stable.
Of course, at this timeThe main focus was on Jingxiang and Bashu Li Tang, and there was no spare time to take care of Lingnan.
"Moreover, the journey from Jiangnan to Lingnan to deploy troops is thousands of miles away, the road is difficult and takes a long time. Moreover, the northern soldiers were not accustomed to the southern climate and could easily suffer defeat.
So Huang Mingyuan decided to attack across the sea.
The Shenwei Guards are a newly formed army. Different from other armies, this army is mainly composed of southerners, and also selects many people who are good at water and barbarian people.
The weather in the south is different from that in the north. When Liu Fangnan conquered Linyi, many of the Guanzhong soldiers he led died of illness. The reason why Huang Mingcong established himself in Jiaozhi was because his backbone troops were Luzhou soldiers who were familiar with mountains, jungles and miasma.
The main force in the north cannot go south. The Mongolian cavalry, which has been invincible in history, all returned defeated in Indochina. Therefore, if you want to expand southward, you must have a professional army.
Although people from the south may not necessarily adapt to the Lingnan climate, the farther south you go, the hotter and humid it becomes, and at least they can tolerate it better than people from the north.
The newly established Shenwei Guard has Chen Leng as the general manager, and Deng Hao and Zhou Shaofan as deputy general managers. There is no cavalry in the army, and each army has a naval battalion. The entire army consists of about 5,000 naval troops and 300 large and small ships.
强 牺     读 牺 。 Shenwei Wei is the first waterway.
Although Nanhai City is the most important town in Lingnan, the Xian family's hometown is Xin'an Xingxing, so Xian Baoche has been operating in Xinxing, while Nanhai City is guarded by Xian Baoche's nephew Xian Zhichen.
But at this time, Xian Zhichen¡¯s attention was all on the north.
Xian Baoche and Gao Facheng rebelled together and became allies. But many people can share adversity, but not wealth. Both wanted to seize Nanhai City, but Xian Baoche relied on his strong family power to suppress Gao Facheng and take the lead.
But Gao Facheng was not to be outdone. He used Sihui as a stronghold, occupied the central part of Nanhai County, and looked at the South China Sea.
Control the big one and control the owl. In order to resist Gao Facheng, Xian Zhichen stationed heavy troops in Qingqi (now Xiqingqi Town, Sanshui City, Guangdong Province) and Niubi (now northwest of Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province) towns, while the defense of Nanhai City was neglected.
It¡¯s no wonder Xian Zhichen neglected Nanhai city defense. These days, no one would have thought that enemies would come from the sea. Ninety-nine percent of people have no concept of coastal defense at all.
Deng Hao led his troops to land at Zishi, and then went straight to Nanhai City. The Sui army advanced by land and water until they reached the gate of Nanhai City.
In this era, Guangzhou was still a coastal city, unlike later generations where there were more than 90 miles of rivers just to the mouth of the Pearl River. Therefore, various attack materials of the Sui army were transported directly to outside Nanhai City.
On October 10th, Nanhai City was destroyed
