Chapter 182: The Storm of the Metropolis (Part 2)

"You are really pigs, you messed up." Zhao Qian had a gloomy face and stared at Lin Yiqian hatefully. He pressed his right hand on the sword. With a sound of brushing, the sword had already pulled out and shouted: "Do you care about such an important thing? Well, as soon as we arrived near Dadu, you informed the Tartars of our arrival. It's amazing! Great!"

If the eyes could kill people, the light shot out from Zhao Qian's eyes would be enough to kill Lin Yiqian a hundred times. Zhao Qian is a very courageous person. Even if he goes in and out of thousands of troops, he will not frown. There will not be many things to make him angry like this. But don't say that he gets angry anymore, anyone would get angry.

The possibility of success of this operation is based on the four words "unexpected". Surprising attacks on Tianjin and causing the Mongolian army to be hit hard without any precautions is certainly one of the links. The more important link is to ensure that the news is not leaked, and to give enough time for the Southern Song army starting from Tianjin to attack most of the capital, so that the Mongolian army near Dadu will be attacked without any preparations. In that case, only in this way can the operation be successful.

In order to achieve this goal, Zheng Jinghe sent many elite squads. Their mission was not to participate in the attack, but to intercept the Mongolian messenger and prevent the news of Tianjin from falling to Kublai Khan. Lin Yiqian was the head of a squad. They were responsible for intercepting a messenger, but this messenger was too cunning. They did not succeed in chasing them all the way, and they did not successfully intercept them until they were near Dadu.

Success was successful, but it attracted the attention of the Mongolian patrol team. The Mongolian patrol team chased them out and fought a battle with them. Fortunately, there were not too many Mongolian patrol teams, so they were defeated. They did not completely wipe out the Mongolian patrol team, and many Mongolian soldiers fled back, which was tantamount to informing Kublai Khan of the arrival of the Song army.

In this way, it is tantamount to wasting all previous efforts. It can be imagined that after the Mongols received the news, they would immediately mobilize their army to suppress them. In that case, not to mention that Zhao Qian and his team had limited troops, even if they had more troops, they would not be opponents. After all, they would be alone and in-depth, without reinforcements, and the consequences were very serious. If they were not good, they would be wiped out.

After a lot of efforts, when he succeeded, Zhao Qian encountered such a thing. He was so angry that he wanted to kill Lin Yiqian immediately. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "The efforts of tens of thousands of troops have been destroyed by you. What else do you have to say?"

"The general blames you!" Lin Yiqian said with great guilt: "But, the Tartars are really too cunning."

Zhao Qian pulled out the treasure knife and shouted, "You are still stubborn!"

"Stop!" Zhao Liangchun rode his horse, stopped Zhao Qian, and said, "They can't blame them all for this, they have tried their best." There are many unexpected situations on the battlefield, and it can be said that there are as many as a cow's hair. It is even more difficult to intercept Mongolian messengers in a comprehensive manner. It is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. It is normal to have some accidents.

Zhao Qian glared at Lin Yiqian fiercely and unwilling to insert the sword back into the sheath.

"It's nothing to do with you, you can go down." Zhao Liangchun said to Lin Yiqian.

Lin Yiqian stood still and said, "General, it's all my fault. I admit it whether to kill or cut. Please don't make things difficult for your brothers. This has nothing to do with them."

"Good, good-looking! He looks like a man!" Zhao Liangchun praised with a thumbs up: "You have chased you all the way from Zhigu Village, and you have no credit and hard work. Don't worry, I won't punish you. You just need to remember the lesson today."

Zhao Liangchun's words were not like being fake. Lin Yiqian was delayed for a while before saying, "General Xie. He is young, even if he is born and die, he cannot repay the general's kindness."

"You can't say that. Leaving a useful body is the best reward for the court, and killing the Tartars for the people." Zhao Liangchun said earnestly.

Lin Yiqian kowtowed to Zhao Liangchun a few times before running away.

"It's just so cheap." Zhao Qian was very dissatisfied and asked: "General Zhao, what should we do next? Should we withdraw or fight? Let's withdraw."

In this case, the most complete way is to retreat. Otherwise, the Five Guards Imperial Army and the Qixue Corps will be over once they pressed up.

Zhao Liangchun thought for a while and said, "This matter is really not easy to deal with. However, we still have a chance. I think that even if the Tartars know that we are coming, they will not believe it. Even if they believe it, they may not be able to execute it very quickly. As long as we seize the opportunity to launch an attack with the fastest movement, we will have a great grasp of victory."

"The same is true for reason." Zhao Qian changed his mind and said, "But if the Tartars move very quickly, our danger will be great. This is a big deal, so it is best to discuss it with General Zheng." Zheng Jinghe is resourceful, and it will be of great benefit to listen to his opinions in this situation.

Zhao Liangchun pondered and said, "It would be great if General Zheng could come, but he is not a general now, and he has become a rich man. He should call him Zheng rich man. They found the Tartars' vault in Zhigu Village. Now he is in charge of Zhigu Village to command the transportation of this batch of gold and cannot come to Dadu. Besides, if you discuss it with him, you will miss the opportunity. My opinion is to stop and suffer the chaos and fuck him! That's right, we are taking the chestnut in the fire, which is very dangerous and hot, but once we succeed, it will be a shocking feat!" After a pause, he continued, "I found that the Tartars' vault was unexpected. We should act carefully and withdraw when we see something wrong. Whether it is successful or not, it will be a profit!"

His words were plain, but the meaning of the words was unquestionable. Zhao Qian was infected and excited and said, "Then let's fuck him. Tell me, what am I doing?"

"I have thought of your goal for you." Zhao Liangchun replied.

"All soldiers from all departments, units and units have paid attention. The emperor has given an order to return to the camp immediately and not stay in the streets. Those who have not returned to the camp for more than a stick of incense should be killed!" A batch of Mongolian commanders ran around the streets of Dadu and conveyed Kublai Khan's will. The news of the arrival of the Southern Song army came too abruptly. Not to mention that the Mongolian court officials could not believe it, even Kublai Khan had to go through many twists and turns to believe that it was true.

As for ordinary Mongolian soldiers, they were either training or going out for a walk, and it was useless to pass on Kublai Khan's will. Many soldiers were not allowed to be in the camp. The generals of the Five Guards and the Cowards Corps had to send a commander to the streets to pass on the streets.

Logically, the two most elite troops of Mongolia, the Five Guards and the Cyprus Corps, are known as the Mongolian reserve team, and they guard the capital. They are highly alert and will be engaged in battle at any time as long as Kublai Khan gives his order.

The reason is this, but the actual situation is not like this. Only when an army enters a state of combat readiness will leave and there will be no soldiers outside. However, whether strategically or tactically, the Southern Song Dynasty could not attack Dadu. The Mongols, from Kublai Khan himself, all had this mentality towards ordinary soldiers, and naturally they would not be in a state of full combat readiness. What's so strange if the soldiers were not in the camp?

Of course, some of these two troops are in full combat readiness and there will be no soldiers on vacation. After all, it is part of them and the number will not be large.

After Kublai Khan had made many twists and turns, he believed Yelu Zhu's words, and the Southern Song Dynasty came over and conveyed the order. It took a lot of time until the communicator took to the streets to pass on the commandments.

Besides, even if the soldiers were retrieved, it was a bit difficult to make them believe that the Southern Song Dynasty had reached Dadu. According to the soldiers afterwards, "We received an order at that time to fight with the Southern Dynasties army in Dadu, and we accepted this order without hesitation. However, we knew in our hearts that this was impossible. If pies fell from the sky and were hit into our mouths, I still believe that it was possible. It would be impossible to say that the Southern Dynasties army had arrived to Dadu. Until the swords of the Southern Dynasties slashed on us, the pain forced us to believe that this was a real existence and that the battle was happening. Unfortunately, it was too late!"

After the soldiers returned to the camp, they had to rectify, prepare and deploy, which took time. After calculation, a lot of time had been used.

Wu Han, a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, claimed to be "received the order in the morning and led the way in the evening", which means that he could set off in the afternoon after receiving the order to go to war. This has been praised by future generations and regarded as a model by future generations. It took him almost a day to prepare from receiving the order to setting off, and the time the Mongols would only take longer than him in this situation, not shorter than him. The situation that Zhao Liangchun considered was not far from the actual situation. What they needed was this time difference. As long as they grasped this time difference, everything would come true.

Since Genghis Khan captured Dadu, the Mongolian army took to the streets to yell the orders, which made the vast clouds of war rarely happen. Especially since Kublai Khan established Dadu, life in peace has been very peaceful. It can be said that this is the first time in dozens of ways. Not to mention that the people in Dadu cannot believe it, even the Mongolian soldiers do not believe it very much.

Many ordinary people stopped to watch, discussed privately, and speculated many times. If they weren't afraid of the Mongolians, they would have definitely gone up to ask for it.

As for the performance of those soldiers, it was a bit ridiculous. Many people asked: "Brother, what are you doing? Who called me? The people of the Southern Dynasty? They are still in Jiangnan, how could they come to Dadu? What are you nervous? Look at you, what will you do when you make a fuss?"

The messenger's answer was also wonderful, saying, "Damn it, ask me, who will I ask? You want to know, go back and ask your mother, is she confused when she did her father."

Of course, the humiliated soldiers were not convinced, but because they were messengers and had official duties and could not afford to offend them, otherwise they would definitely rush up and beat them up. Of course, they threw the national scolding to the messengers in their hearts, thinking about how to use black fists to deal with the messengers.

The Mongolian soldiers who were not sure of this soon understood it, because the most correct answer was right in front of them. The answer was nothing else, the neat queue of the Southern Song army, the precious swords that shone in the sunlight, the momentum of rainbow, the murderous aura everywhere, and the corpses left behind them where they passed.

"Long live the Song Dynasty! Long live China!" A shocking shout sounded, and a black water line appeared in sight. This water line was very beautiful and smooth. Even the best national painter could not draw the momentum and charm of the water line.

As the waterline flows, there are also the sound of thunderous hooves, and the earth-shaking shouts! It is the Xuanjia Cavalry who have made many great achievements since the Battle of Lin'an. Under the leadership of Zhao Qian, they seemed to have a black whirlwind appear on the streets of Dadu. They came and went suddenly. After they disappeared, the messengers and the Mongolian soldiers who were strolling on the streets had fallen to the ground, and the blood on their bodies proved that their lives had been ended.

The shouts of the Xuanjia Cavalry were just the beginning. The shouts echoed with him sounded from all over the capital, and the shouts of "Long live the Song Dynasty! Long live China!" from different places merged into a earth-shaking song!

At this moment, most of them were trembling!

This is a historic moment! Most of them ended the humiliating history of not having the Chinese army for hundreds of years!

Some people may not know about Dadu, but even if they say that Beijing is known to Chinese people, Beijing was called Dadu during the Yuan and Song dynasties. Dadu has a history of about seven hundred years, but it does not mean that Beijing’s history is not long. On the contrary, Beijing’s history can be verified to be 3,000 years.

As the capital of China, Beijing began to rise in nearly 700 years, which was determined by China's history. In the pre-Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, China's center was in Guanzhong, and Chang'an was the capital was the best explanation. During the Song Dynasty, China's political center began to shift eastward. One reason was that it was due to the wars at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was seriously damaged and it was difficult to restore the old view. Another reason was that China's history had changed. In today's terms, the development level of the east was better and more mature than that of the west.

By the times of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Beijing's political status was greatly improved. The Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties set the capital in Beijing, with the purpose of strengthening control over this area, because its strategic position here is extremely important.

There is a very headache problem in Chinese history, that is, the "northern problem". The so-called northern problem is the continuous invasion of the Central Plains of the Northern Ethnic Minorities. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Qin Shihuang sent Meng Tian to take back the land of Heshuo, "but the Huns were more than 700 miles away, and Hu did not dare to go south and shed horses" ("On the Qin Dynasty"? Jia Yi), and then built the famous Great Wall. Emperor Wu of Han's approach was even more straightforward, sending troops across the "uninhabited sea" and launching the "decisive battle in the north of the Mo", staged the feats of "Shanyu escape at night" and "Fenglangjuxu Mountain", which had a huge impact on later generations.

After the Huns suffered heavy blows from the Han Dynasty, they split, one part attached to the inner and the other part moved westward. (The story of moving westward will be introduced later in this book.) The Xianbei rose to the north and occupied the vast desert grasslands of the original Huns. By the time of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Turks rose again on the northern grasslands. Fortunately, there was a great monarch in China at that time, namely Emperor Taizong of Tang, whose approach was exactly the same as Emperor Wu of Han, that was, Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night and destroyed the Turks.

In the late Tang and early Song dynasties, the Khitan appeared, and later the Jurchens and Mongolia rose one after another.

Before the Song Dynasty, except for the Xianbei who rose in the "Five Barbarians Invading China", China was in a war-torn era and could not compete with it. The rest, such as the Huns and Turks, destroyed the Chinese army and even destroyed the country. It can be said that this is the most glorious chapter of China in dealing with the problem of border troubles in the north. Until now, no dynasty can compare with it.

However, the Song Dynasty made no achievements in dealing with the problem of border problems in the north.

Whether the ethnic minorities in the north are the Huns, Xianbei, Turks, Khitan, Jurchen, or Mongolia, they occupied the same grassland. They have been doing the same thing for thousands of years, that is, starting from the Yunzhong area of ​​Daidi, invading the Central Plains, and ruthlessly burning the war to the Central Plains, the heart of China, the Central Plains, and bringing heavy disasters to the people of the Central Plains.

The terrain of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is dangerous, with rivers and mountains on the outside, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is a strategic barrier to the northern Central Plains. To defend the Central Plains, you must first defend the land of Yanyun. It is from this strategic perspective that Kublai Khan decided to establish his capital in Beijing, in order to consolidate the Central Plains and wait for an opportunity to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty. Beijing's political status has since risen to this day.

The Land of Yanyun has such an important strategic position, but the Song Dynasty has not mastered the Land of Yanyun since its founding, because the Land of Yanyun was sold to the "child emperor" Shi Jingtang to the Liao Kingdom during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods. The Liao Kingdom was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom subsequently had the Land of Yanyun. The Jin Kingdom was destroyed by Mongolia, and the Mongols naturally became the masters of this strategic location.

In other words, in the past three hundred years, there has been no Chinese army in Beijing. Not to mention anything else, just this shout is enough to keep in history and be praised by future generations!

This sound will last forever!

"Damn, how did you bring the soldiers? So many people went out to pass the orders, but they didn't come back to report." Hu Sizha patted the commander and shouted to the generals: "This is the emperor's will, who can afford it?"

"Sir, why did this suddenly make the wind and the grass and trees suddenly panic?" A general asked in confusion: "Sir, what is this for? We have been here for so long, and you have not given me any news. No matter how we do it, you have to give us news."

His words immediately attracted a lot of echoes and said, "That's right! If we want to fight the Southern Dynasty, we will go to the Central Plains to work with the Southern Barbarians. Even if the Southern Barbarians have great courage, they will not dare to come to Dadu to play wild. Isn't this a joke?"

"You ask me, who will I ask?" Hu Duzha said, "Why are there so much nonsense? Just tell me to stay there. You don't believe it? I don't believe it."

A majestic voice sounded, saying, "You should believe this is true!"

"Who?" Hu Duzha and the others blurted out.

"I! General Zhao Liangchun of the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Liangchun rode on the horse and rode his horse. Behind him was the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty who were like wolves and tigers, glanced at everyone and said, "Qixue Corps, it's not bad! Your pride cannot leave this place." The horse whip in his hand pointed at the room and said.
