Yanjing City.

The flames burned all night before they were blown away. The granary in the city had already been in ashes. In the sky above Yanjing, wisps of black smoke still circled.

However, except for the Yanjing granary, the entire city was intact, but there was a great chaos when the Mongols retreated to the end. I don’t know if it was the last evacuated Mongolian army doing evil or the riots launched by the residents in the city. In the Yanjing city, charred traces and unwiped blood could be seen everywhere. The corpses had been packed up and piled up outside the Heyi Gate, but they were not completely cleaned up, and many corpses were scattered everywhere in the city.

In addition, overturned vehicles and discarded luggage were everywhere in the east of the city and outside Yimen. It was obvious that the Mongols were still in a hurry and in chaos when they retreated.

But in general, this ancient capital of Yuan Dynasty, now the capital of Yanyun Province in the Yuan Dynasty, once made the kings of the Northern Song Dynasty concerned the city for more than 100 years, but it still fell into Chen Dexing's hands in a relatively complete manner. Even most of the residents in the city were not slaughtered, which was really unexpected!

In this Yanjing city, the Han people who were originally like ants, whether they were merchants who lived here very early or refugees brought from everywhere by the Mongols, the Northern Ming cavalry, who looked extremely majestic, immediately calmed down after the brigade was wearing black clothes and black armor and holding steel clamped steel weapons.

For more than three hundred years, the people of Yanyun have long been accustomed to being ruled by various powerful people, whether it is the Khitan, Jurchen or Mongolia...everyone comes to pay taxes to do their jobs.

As long as they are strong people who can give them peace, don’t think that the Song army back then could not stand the Khitans and let the Jurchens fight out after entering the city, and then let the Jurchens fight into Yanjing. They spend money to redeem Yanjing, and soon let the Jurchens fight in... This trouble really makes the people in the city!

However, looking at the elite vanguard of the Northern Ming Army, it seems that there is no possibility of being beaten by the Mongols again. Now, everyone can be at ease to be the people.

As for the new masters of Yanjing City, they believe in the Tiandaoism, and they don’t let people take the imperial examinations... The people of Yanjing don’t care! At worst, everyone just recites the Tiandaoism sutra. If you don’t take the imperial examinations, you won’t take the imperial examinations. Anyway, the Mongolians have been in Yanjing for more than 30 years and have never thought about taking the imperial examinations. As a result, Yanjing changed people in a few months after the imperial examinations!

Of course, some people want to leave Yanjing City and return to their hometown early, but the Yanyun War has just begun. No one knows what it is outside Yanjing City. Maybe they will be killed by the rioters as soon as they leave the city. So this idea is just to think about it.

Some people were working hard in the city, helping the soldiers and generals of Zhenghei Banner to maintain order; on the other hand, they were mobilizing the merchants and people in the city to have a grand welcome ceremony when the Ming Dynasty entered the city.

Needless to say, these running people all want to perform in front of the new master of Yanjing to find aspiring people of aspirations. Many of them are Han officials from the Yanyun Province of the Great Yuan Dynasty, who quietly stayed when the Yuan army retreated...

Among them is Yao Shu’s nephew Yao Shu who drank with Liu Xiaoyuan that day!

He was originally a small official in charge of household registration in Yanjing City, but he was not the chief official in power. The reason why his official position was so small was because Yao Shu was interested in training. If Chen Dexing had not been called so quickly, he would have been promoted a few months later.

But the bad luck is not because he is bad luck, but because the entire Great Mongolian Kingdom is bad luck!

Fortunately, this "second-generation traitor" has a flexible mind. His uncle can work hard for the Mongolians who want to exterminate China (When Yao Shu defected to Mongolia, there was no sign of sinicization at all). Why can't Yao Shu mention that the Ming Dynasty, who wanted to exterminate the Confucian Taoist tradition, worked hard?

If an uncle is a traitor, can't his nephew be a Confucian traitor?

So when the Mongolian army retreated a few days ago, Yao Sui did not leave with his family. Instead, he quietly hid in the chaos. As soon as the Mongolians left, they immediately jumped out to organize the "maintenance meeting".

Under the organization of Yao Sui and dozens of other great Yuan Han officials who believed that "the whole world is unified and the whole world is unified", early this morning, inside and outside Shiren Gate east of Yanjing City, there were ants-like figures everywhere. They supported the elderly and young, burned incense on both sides of the road, and held pottery and bamboo tubes with wine, soup or rice. This is called eating pots and slurry to welcome the king's army. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the army loved by the people was given this treatment. However, in the later years, most big cities had this procedure when changing masters, otherwise they would have been slaughtered...

Of course, the massacre was strictly prohibited in the Northern Ming Army. The Northern Ming Army was a benevolent and righteous army, so the humans in the Northern Land who only captured serfs and slaves and did not engage in slaughter were almost becoming precious animals. How could they afford massacre? After all, who would farm and work? Who would rely on so many Sergeant Eight Banners to make a living?

So when the Yuan army retreated, Chen Dexing and the Northern Ming army were relieved that there were hundreds of thousands of people! There was nothing in the Southern Song Dynasty, but it was the capital for establishing a country and establishing a country in the north!

At this time, a brigade of troops appeared in the east of Yanjing from afar. He was the first to be a soldier with thick hands and feet, a chaotic beard and not trimmed. He was wearing a silver-shiny steel armor, an equally shiny helmet on his head, and a very long horizontal knife on his waist.

He held the hilt of the knife with one hand, but held the reins with the other hand, and the horse was carrying luggage and a large bag of rice and grain in Yanjing City. The grain stored in the people was burned a while ago by the Mongolians in the name of defending the city. Therefore, Chen Dexing ordered that all departments entering the city would walk and use the horses to carry the food.

This man surrendered to Chen Dexing in Pingluan. Guo Kan, who refused to hand over the military power and offered Chen Dexing a phalanx tactic. Behind him were 3,000 elite infantrymen who followed him to fight thousands of miles. About 600 of them were wearing plate armor like him, and when he walked on the road, he looked scary!

However, looking at Guo Kan's appearance, he looked unhappy and seemed to have never been satisfied. He mumbled and complained to Zhu Sijiu, who was sent to study the phalanx tactics with Guo Kan, constantly saying, "We are not lucky! Look at the black-clad cavalry, they took down Yanjing City without seeing any tough battles... Our three thousand steel armored soldiers were all the way, and they walked 300 miles and had no contribution! If they had known, they would have taken the vanguard's fault!"

Zhu Sijiu just smiled, not matching Guo Kan's voice. The battle of Yanyun has just begun! I am afraid that there will be no chance to make contributions? Moreover... the Mongolians are now taking the initiative to give up Yanjing, but they have not even massacred the city. It is obvious that they want to throw hundreds of thousands of people in Yanjing as a burden to the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Zhu Sijiu estimated that giving up Yanjing was just the first link in Kublai Khan's series of combat plans, and there must be a backup plan behind them.

The Ming Dynasty fought along the way, and it seemed to be unstoppable, occupied a lot of territory, and took over Yanjing, the largest city in Yanyun. However, it had never really fought with the main force of the Mongolian army. This was not a victory without a fight, but the opponent was playing tricks on the enemy into the deeper and some military knowledge to see through this. Chen Dexing was naturally no exception, but even though he knew that Kublai Khan was setting up a trap for himself, he could not refuse the hundreds of thousands of Han people in Yanjing and Yanjing.

This is not a woman's kindness, but Kublai Khan took out a bait to be sweet enough. Hundreds of thousands of Han people were not only to expand the source of the sir-jeweled soldiers, but also producers and builders. With them, the national strength of the Beiming can reach a few more steps in a short period of time!

Therefore, even if Yanjing is in the den of a dragon and tiger, the Northern Ming army will also break into it without hesitation. This is not only because Kublai Khan's work is big enough, but also because the Northern Ming army is full of confidence. No one thinks that Kublai Khan's more than 100,000 Mongolian troops could defeat them, because they are the invincible steel army!

Chen Dexing's Guard Division was behind Guo Kan's steel-armored infantry, and also walked with armor and horses. It was just one man and two horses, and rice and flour were carried on the horses. Chen Dexing himself also had several generals and civil servants who followed him, of course, rode on horses.

Following the marching ranks of the Guard Division, there were marching ranks of up to 70,000 people, including about 35,000 soldiers, which were the Central Army of the Northern Ming Army, the First Division of the Lower Army, the Cavalry Division and the Eight Banners Horse Team with more than 12,000 people. The main force of the Lower Army of the Northern Ming Army and the Zhenglan Banner of the Eight Banners remained at Pingluan City and Yuguan to protect the army's retreat. In addition, there were more than 4,000 people from the First Division of the Northern Ming Army of the Northern Ming Army in charge of the garrison.

In other words, the combat troops of the Northern Ming Army around Yanjing, including the 3,000 people brought by Guo Kan, totaling 43,000.

The next battle is to confront the main force of the Mongolian army with a total of 43,000 elite troops, which may be as many as 200,000!

Chen Dexing was thinking about the various possibilities of this decisive battle that was about to break out, either the Mongolian army rushed down from Yanshan Mountain to besiege the city; or Kublai Khan inserted a cluster of elite cavalry into the east of Yanjing to cut off the supply line of Yanjing; or simply used the army to attack Taiyuan to attack Li Yuan in the south...

"Long live! Long live! Long live..."

The loud cheers suddenly came from the direction of Yanjing in front, interrupting Chen Dexing's thoughts. He raised his head and went forward. The towering Yanjing Xiongcheng stood on the large plain at the foot of Yanshan Mountain not far away!

On both sides of the road leading to the northern Xiongcheng, I don’t know how many people support the elderly and the young, holding jars and jars, and greeting each other. The welcoming team started more than ten miles outside Yanjing City and paved all the way to Yanjing City. The people in the whole city seemed to be here to welcome the Han Dynasty royal army who had been away for many years.

"Mr. King! Mr. King..."
