Chapter 417 Li Bao
Meanwhile, in the live stream room.
Lin Ke continued with a sigh: "After Wang Gui and others recaptured Zhengzhou, they immediately ordered their deputy, Hao Zheng, the deputy commander of the central army, to lead troops westward to attack Luoyang, the western capital."
"Li Cheng, the local garrison commander, upon hearing the news, dispatched several thousand cavalrymen to attack the city. However, due to a lack of clear understanding of the strength of Yue Fei's army, they were quickly routed."
"Hao Zheng then led his troops forward, and at dusk that same day, they arrived directly at the walls of Luoyang. Li Cheng, who was defending the city, had, once again, fled! He abandoned the city and escaped!"
"The next morning, Hao Zheng and his entire army entered the city, and Luoyang, the western capital, was thus recovered."
"On the other hand, Liang Xing, Zhao Yun and others crossed the Yellow River and headed north, taking the lead in capturing Yuanqu County in Jiangzhou. Zhao Yun's mother was rescued, and then the whole army marched eastward along the Yellow River."
"On the Jin side, General Gao Taiwei led more than 5,000 troops. The two sides fought a fierce battle in Xiquyang, Jiyuan County, Mengzhou. In less than three hours, the Jin army was defeated."
"After much painful reflection, Grand Commandant Gao immediately mobilized troops from the three prefectures of Huai, Meng, and Wei, totaling more than 10,000 soldiers."
"The battle raged from morning until noon, and then from afternoon until night. By the end of the day, Yue Fei's army had inflicted heavy losses on the Jin army, which can be described as losing about 80% of their arrows."
"However, Grand Commandant Gao led his remaining troops to flee, but the three prefectures of Huai, Meng, and Wei were thus recovered."
Qin Dynasty
Upon hearing this, the First Emperor couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. The Yue Family Army of the Song Dynasty was indeed formidable, as evidenced by the repeated battles between the Song and Jin dynasties.
He felt a pity about Yue Fei's fate, that such a good general was wasted by Zhao Gou!
Suddenly, the First Emperor remembered Lin Ke's talk about the artillery and other weapons used in the Song-Jin War, which were far superior to those of the Qin Dynasty. He frowned and pondered for a moment.
He still couldn't understand why the Southern Song Dynasty, with its capable generals, had to be controlled by the Jin Dynasty.
However, the First Emperor did not dwell on this issue for long. A moment later, he summoned Li Si, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, and others and asked, "How is the progress of the gunpowder project?"
Meng Tian stepped forward and replied, "The alchemists are still figuring it out. They could easily be blown up if they're not careful. They're just missing the exact dosage, but according to them, it won't take too long!"
Upon hearing this, the First Emperor nodded. He liked the feeling that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner!
The alchemist forced to study gunpowder: Can I not work hard...? This is a job where I'm risking my life!!
After learning about the progress of all this, the First Emperor started watching the live broadcast again, but he was multitasking and did not forget to deal with the memorials on his desk.
Just then, he suddenly remembered that Wanyan Zongbi had searched the mountains and seas and found that the official ships used by the Song Dynasty seemed to be better than those built by the Jin people. So, in the spirit of not being ashamed to ask questions, the First Emperor asked the Song Dynasty for comments!
……
In the live stream room at this moment:
Emperor Qin Shi Huang: I am troubled. The shipbuilding progress of the Qin navy is slow. I would like to ask you all if you have any methods for building ships! I can exchange them!
In another timeline, Liu Che, upon seeing this comment, exclaimed that the First Emperor was cunning. At that moment, he also thought of the Song Dynasty's equipment, such as cannons. If his Han Dynasty had these things, how could it not defeat the Xiongnu!
As his thoughts raced, he quickly followed up with a comment.
Liu Zhuzhu of the Great Han Dynasty: Even my Great Han needs help, everyone please lend a hand!
Judy, the Great General Who Conquers the North: What's the big deal? We're all from the same family! I don't know if shipbuilding is feasible where you are, but I can offer some suggestions!
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: I really envy you guys for being able to fight outside, while we're still worrying about external threats!
Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu: ??? ...
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty: ...You guys are so cunning!!!
……
Lin Ke glanced at the comments, realizing it was a mistake; she'd forgotten to give Zheng Ge the information about shipbuilding!
However, we don't know if shipbuilding was feasible during the Qin and Han dynasties, based on later information. But Xu Fu still managed to sail eastward!
It might not be as advanced as it was during the Song and Ming dynasties!
However, she suddenly remembered seeing a post online where someone had visited the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and left flowers, a map, and even a model of a small boat!
Come to think of it, there really are a lot of people who like Brother Zheng!
……
During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty
After finishing reading the comments, Zhao Zhen tossed the small screen onto the table, thinking to himself that they were all fighting against external enemies.
But the Song Dynasty could only get beaten; it's really frustrating! They weren't that much different from others!
Is it really just a matter of courage?
At that moment, a thought suddenly popped into his mind!
Wait! During the war, how is his grave?
It seems Miss Lin didn't mention the Song Dynasty tombs much!
Could it really have been destroyed like this?!
