Chapter 162: Three Grabs Policy
Goryeo, Jinshan City. Zhang Fengxian, who was on a second mission, had already learned the bad news about the entry of the Mongolian army when he arrived at Jinshan City. It was impossible to move forward, but when he went back like this, he was afraid of attracting Cui Yi's reprimand. While he was thinking about how to act, the order from Kaijing came.
It was similar to urging him to travel north before, but he still asked him to continue to speed up his pace. However, in addition, he also advocated peace. He could give food and grass, but only 200,000 dan. After all, it was not the season for harvest. He took out a million dan at once, which really made the whole country embarrassed by the whole country.
There was no choice but Zhang Fengxian could only go out of the city and head north reluctantly, praying in his heart that the Mongolians would not kill him and destroy himself.
What he didn't know was that the Mongols who had already captured Huangzhou City did not go south for a while. Instead, they broke the army into pieces and began to carry out a "grab-scraping" action against Huangzhou. Any people they saw would be captured as long as they were not old. Regardless of men and women, they would be arrested and moved to the rear.
All money, grain, rice, flour, etc. were also plundered. Especially for the wealthy local families, the Mongolians would also give a certain amount of money and grain to let the people help transport the searched things to Huangzhou City.
Because it is too close to Liaoning Province, there are not many local people. In just half a day, there are no living things around. A Danghan immediately turned his attention to the entire Xikaidao. In addition to personally leading 10,000 people to travel south and blocking the necessary path for the reinforcements of Goryeo, others began to expand their search scope and carry out the "three-track" policy of "grabing people, grabing grain, and grabing vegetables" for the entire Xikaidao.
This is also made when you set out!
Goryeo is densely populated, so it is natural that it cannot be in vain for a trip. Even if you can't get any benefits from the Goryeo court, you have to search for it from the local area. At least you will raise money and grain for subsequent tentative military confrontation with the Mongolian Khanate.
As a border army, Rubua naturally did not get the task of blocking reinforcements. But he was an old acquaintance with A Danghan and did not treat him too badly. He got a task to conquer Haizhou, which was a harbor in Xihaidao, and had trade with Dengzhou in the Jin Dynasty and Mingzhou in Shanghai.
When he set off, Adamhan also specifically told him the explanation from Ulutus. That is, he tried to collect shipbuilding craftsmen in Haizhou. He found one to catch one person and tried to bring all of them. Moreover, all the large ships found along the coast were collected, so he didn't have to be polite when encountering merchant ships. He could take them to Dalian Port, which was under construction, which was an important maritime transportation channel for Eastern Mongolia in the Bohai Bay, and a large number of sea ships were urgently needed to be introduced.
Knowing that A Danghan was taking care of him, Rubua felt happy when he set out. In order to take over Haizhou, he also brought two "coffin thunders" and several "copper generals" (copper fire tubes, which are nicknamed "copper generals" because they are thicker and heavier than wooden fire tubes).
Compared with Huangzhou, which is too close to the front line, Haizhou, which is located in the rear, has a flat terrain and is convenient for sea transportation, it seems relatively rich. Not to mention, the density of villages and towns is far greater than that of Huangzhou.
It was precisely because of his favourite wealth and the convenience of shipping in Haizhou that Goryeo had set up a Haizhou governor here and stationed a thousand soldiers. It was usually enough to use it to suppress the place.
When Rubua led his troops to Haizhou like lightning, the city gate was still wide open. Moreover, there were many people coming and going in and out of the city gate, and they looked completely calm.
In the local maid office, Li Lianzhen, the governor of the state, was happily marrying the eleventh concubine. Although it was already forty-seven now, he was still not old. So, a maid from Song State presented him with a beautiful lady in Song State, which made him feel as if he was back to the sixteenth and seventh days.
Although the Mongolians in the north seemed to be about to knock on the edge, they had little to do with his Haizhou. As long as the sea route was not cut off, their Haizhou's livelihood would not have a big impact, at least it would not shorten the pockets of his provincial governor.
Just when he was happy to use this marriage to get both beauty and a wave of gifts, someone reported to him that the Mongolians were coming.
"The ship is ready?" Li Lianlian seemed very calm when he heard the news. Whether it was the Mongols, Khitans or Jurchens, as long as they hid on the boat, they would have no choice. Relying on the Li family's status in Haizhou, as long as these foreign enemies left, they could return to Haizhou to be their own emperor.
"Bizhou Governor, you are all ready!" The deputy general who reported the news was a little hesitant and swallowed the words of worry back.
"Where have the Mongols been?" Li Lianlian asked calmly again.
"I heard from the people who reported the news that they saw Mongolian cavalry crossing the river."
"The danger of Tongjiang is not that easy to pass. Moreover, our country has a military camp on the right bank, so I believe the Mongolians can't get through it easily." Li Lianlian inferred without changing his expression.
When the deputy general heard this, he looked embarrassed and said, "It's not Tongjiang, it's Zainingjiang!"
"What? Why didn't you say something earlier?" Zai Ningjiang was not far from Haizhou City, and Li Lianzhen's calm expression changed instantly. At this moment, he was like an ant on a hot pan, and quickly asked someone to clean up the valuable things in his house so that he could move them to the boat to hide together.
In order to avoid attracting attention, he also asked the manager to go to the flower hall to spread the news, saying that he suddenly had a headache and the banquet was cancelled. Of course, the gifts he sent would never be refunded. Some guests who had just arrived at the mansion and had not yet entered the door suddenly felt glad to save a sum of money when they heard this.
The poor people who gathered around the mansion and were still looking forward to a bite of porridge were suddenly disappointed.
So under the intentional concealment of Li Lianzhen, when Lettuce came, most of the people in the city were still in a state of ignorance.
It was not until the Mongolian cavalry in armor rushed into the city gate that the guards at the top of the city panic instructed people to close the city gate.
But five bangs, General Tong's bombing power exploded several large holes in the city gate that was slowly closing. Now, the Goryeo soldiers hiding behind the door were completely scared. The border troops of Rubbe successfully entered the city.
At the first moment, he ordered people to block the city gates. Because it would be a great military contribution to bringing these people in the city back. The land reclamation in Longjiang and Binhai Province officially began when the ice and snow were slightly reduced in spring. At this critical moment, a large number of immigrants were needed to open up the land.
Compared to the resistance encountered in capturing Huangzhou City, it was extremely smooth to capture Haizhou City. When I completely controlled the city gates, it took less than two incense sticks. Moreover, there was no resistance from the defenders throughout the whole process. Almost as soon as the Mongolian army arrived, the defenders at the city gate disappeared.
