Zhu Youjian had no psychological burden for attacking the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although the soldiers and the people were also Han people, the war itself was cruel. If you want to truly destroy this country, you need to pass a dignified war.

The Ming Empire's vision is long-term, and it is on all the land and oceans throughout the entire Southern Song Dynasty.

A Central Plains region is just the first step in the entire plan, and the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty is just one link.

Of course, as a compatriot in China, the Ming Empire will give the greatest tolerance to those who are willing to abandon darkness and turn to light.

Give them enough opportunities.

There were many ways to attack the Southern Song Dynasty. The Ming Empire decided to adopt a method with the strongest deterrence and the most direct effect.

The Southern Song Dynasty established the capital of Lin'an City, which was located in a coastal area. If it were the 19th century, there would never be any country as the capital.

Because cannons can be directly hit inside, all they need to destroy this capital is a landing battle.

Once the capital is destroyed, the politicians and major state institutions inside cannot exist.

The Ming Empire came to the Southern Song Dynasty for more than two months, and from the very beginning, it was preparing to build new ports and shipyards.

Many accessories can be shipped from the Ming Empire and accelerated construction.

Finally, when I arrived here for three and a half months, the first batch of dome-armored cruisers equipped with the most advanced artillery were completed.

Compared with the steel warships that are now officially in service in the Ming Empire, which are completely built of steel, the construction of such warships is much less difficult and cost.

However, for the current Southern Song Dynasty, such warships are absolutely invincible warships.

Especially the technology used in the above artillery is far beyond this era. Not to mention that it has been more than a thousand years, there is still a technological leadership of at least eight hundred years.

When Lin'an City was built, of course it was impossible to consider that super warships from eight hundred years later would attack.

The first batch of warships were named "Nanzheng Series". This kind of warship is not now popular with the Navy of the Ming Empire, after all, it is already an eliminated type.

But it is definitely professional in its operation.

The Southern Expedition Cruiser Fleet has only twenty warships, which is the result of the shipyard's full efforts.

After all, even with the help of the space-time industrial base of the Ming Empire on the other side, the manpower and material resources required to build such a large warship are still a very huge number.

For the Southern Song Dynasty, which has very weak industrial capabilities, it is already a miracle to be able to complete the construction of twenty advanced warships in such a short time.

Although there are only twenty warships, this is enough.

The most elite naval soldiers from the Ming Empire's air conditioner, as well as some members of the Marine Corps.

They have combat power and can completely crush any current unit. Elite soldiers and advanced weapons and combat concepts will fight against the army of this era, which is to bully the small ones by the big ones.

Well, no, it should be bullying the weak.

In most cases, the powerful side takes the initiative to provoke war to gain more benefits.

The weak side can only passively welcome this war. When war has to begin, it often means that national sovereignty is threatened. In this case, the Ming Empire will no longer allow it to appear on the land of the Central Plains.

The Ming Empire officially declared war on the Southern Song Dynasty. On the surface, the army took the land and set out from Yanjing to merge with the Yue family army and came to the south.

In fact, twenty dome-armored cruisers carried 5,000 soldiers of the Navy Marine Battalion soldiers around the water and quickly approached Lin'an City from the water.

Of course, Zhao Gou didn't know that it was from the threat from the sea, so he focused on preparing the army and headed to the northern front to resist the possible main army of the Ming Empire.

When he thought he could basically rest assured, an urgent report quickly passed into the palace.

"The Ming Empire's navy has landed and its troops are besieging Lin'an City. Within two hours, the Zhao Song royal family will take the initiative to surrender. Otherwise, the Lin'an City will be bombarded and the Zhao Song royal family will be slaughtered after the city is seized!"

After receiving this letter, Zhao Gou collapsed on the dragon throne, which was not much different from the performance of the Goryeo King.

Qin Hui picked up the fallen letter and read it, his face suddenly changed, and then he thought that these people should have come from the sea.

"Officials, we must never surrender at this time. Yue Fei's surrender to the Ming Empire will inevitably hate us to the core. Once he surrenders, we will inevitably be extremely miserable, even worse than the two emperors of Huizong!

For the current plan, we should send troops to garrison as soon as possible, and at the same time, we should send troops to help Liu Qi and Han Shizhong with a pigeon, so that the two of us could send troops to help!

If the king and the ministers work together and the soldiers and generals are willing to sacrifice their lives, we will definitely be able to hold on until the moment of rescue!”

Qin Hui knew what fate he would face once he was captured.

He was once captured by the Jin people, and after luckily escaping, he became a lackey of the Jin people.

And the Dalian Empire is so cruel to the Jurchens, and the inevitable means to him are also so cruel.

Once it falls into their hands, life will definitely be worse than death.

He worked hard to obtain his current status and power. If the royal family of the Song Dynasty surrendered and the Song Dynasty became history, then his power would be destroyed.

He did not want to lose power, nor could he lose power. He knew very well that the day when he lost power, it would mean that he would never be able to recover.

Zhao Gou was very cowardly, he knew this.

So at this critical moment, Zhao Gou must not realize that he has the possibility of survival.

"Surrender means death", this concept must be imprinted in Zhao Gou's mind.

Qin Hui did not think that the Ming Empire could easily break through Lin'an City. Isn't it just artillery, and the Song Dynasty was not without it.

As long as the city gate is closed and the soldiers are allowed to defend to the death, they will definitely last until the day when reinforcements come.

Zhao Gou was indeed going to surrender just now, after all, he was already at the city, which reminded him of the crisis when the Jin people surrounded Bianjing.

The Ming Empire's combat power is even stronger than that of the Jin people. You must know that the Ming Empire was able to destroy the Jin Kingdom in such a short time, which exceeded Zhao Gou's understanding of the combat power of the army.

Originally, in his understanding, the Jin Dynasty father could not be defeated. Although Yue Fei and other generals had defeated the Jin people, he did not think that it was a real defeat, but just a lucky chance to gain a little advantage.

It was not until the Great Jin Kingdom was completely destroyed that he woke up and realized the rise of a great empire that was even stronger than the Great Jin Kingdom.

Now, this great empire launched a war against the Southern Song Dynasty, and the situation was definitely even more terrifying than the Jin people surround Bianjing.

However, when he heard Qin Hui's words, he felt that he could stand up, what if reinforcements could arrive!

He still has some hope.

If the two emperors of Huizong were not taken away by the Jin people, he would not have become emperor. This emperor was very difficult, which made him even more reluctant to let go.
