Chapter 490
Is it better to update the monthly tickets more vigorously if I get 100 votes?
Puzhou, Hebei.
At this time, a high-flying nine-white flags were erected in front of the low Puzhou Daluhuachi Mansion.
This historical city was Puyang, which once became the important textile industry center of "clothing and quilting" during the Northern Song Dynasty. Under the rule of the great Khan of Mongolia, who was committed to national integration, naturally attracted the smallest population in history, the market was the most depressed, and the city was the most dilapidated. It was called Puzhou instead of Puyang Road. It already shows how Puyang was slaughtered by the Mongols at the intersection of Mongolia and Jin.
The roads in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the prefecture classification standards are simply "10,000 households, thousands of households". Only when residents have more than 10,000 households can they become roads, and only when they have more than 1,000 households can they become states. In other words, Puyang, which once had a population of more than 800,000 in the Northern Song Dynasty, now only a few thousand households are left. Not only are there only a few thousand households in the city, but the population of the entire Puzhou is only a few thousand households!
There are less than a thousand residents who truly live in Puzhou City. Now, even these thousand households seem to be extremely difficult to save.
In the dilapidated Puyang City, there is only one street with residents, and the rest are deserted and people are everywhere, and all kinds of weeds grow taller than people! In some places, you can also see human bones and traces of burned by fire. These are all evidence of the Mongols' massacre decades ago Puyang can be said to be a real ghost city!
Now, on the only street in the ghost city of Puyang, there are only large groups of Mongolians walking. These Mongolians look unkempt and tattered, some of them have empty scabbards and their hands are empty, and they don’t know where to throw the sweaty scimitar? Some of them have wounds, either bandages wrapped around their arms, or they are wrapped in blood-stained cloth somewhere else, or limping on a wooden stick.
Anyone who saw such a miserable Mongolian people would know where they were defeated. However, the cruelty and barbarity of the Mongolian Tartars after the defeat did not restrain themselves at all. They even showed it even more.
The gates of every household on this street, whether they belong to ordinary people or Han officials in the Yuan Dynasty in Puzhou, were smashed open by these robbers at this moment. Crying, shouting, cursing and dying wailing came from all the houses!
All the property in the house was plundered, all the women were brutally killed, and all the young men were plundered as slaves. Even the Zhending Xuanfu envoy who fled from Zhending to Puzhou, Wang Pan, a famous scholar in Dongping who was 61 years old, was also pulled out from the inn by the Mongols who broke into the door, snatched all their luggage and became slaves.
Fortunately, he was caught by the Han minister Zhao Bi who followed Kublai Khan on the expedition and was rescued and brought to the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan.
The place where Kublai Khan lived was probably the only house in Puzhou that had not been washed by the Mongolians who entered the city in advance. After all, this is the Daluhachi General Administration Office. Daluhachi General Administration is all Mongolians, Semu people, and there are no Han people.
When Wang Pan was brought, Kublai Khan held a banquet in the lobby and invited the Zong Wang Chong General who had already arrived in Puyang. The Khan treated her to rice with rice mixed with corn, horse broth, horse milk wine, a few roasted rabbits and a little cheese. But a bunch of Zong Wang Chong Generals ate a bunch of them, without raising their heads.
Kublai Khan also looked much haggard and had a messy beard. He finished the meal first, looked at the eating habits of the sect kings and generals below quietly, and saw Zhao Bi, Zhang Wenqian and Wang Pan, and then smiled and called them to come forward to speak.
The three Han people walked over and wanted to worship, but Kublai Khan waved his hand to stop him. The Mongolian Khan laughed and said, "Wang Pan, have you run out of Zhending? That's great!"
Wang Pan smiled bitterly. The official uniform, hat and boots on him were snatched by the Mongolians, and he was whipped twice on his face. His beard was pulled a lot. Zhao Bi and Zhang Wenqian wanted to give him their clothes, and he didn't want them. Now he was wearing a sack and barefoot. I really don't know what's going on?
But even so, his loyalty to the Great Mongolia still did not change and he could not change! He turned out to live in Yidu and was regarded as a guest of honor by Li Yu. Before Li Yu rebelled, he told him that he would give him a minister! As a result, he felt that Li Yu was not the source of emperor, so he quietly fled to Kublai Khan and reported Li Yu to Kublai Khan.
It is definitely not possible to go back to Li Shi's side now. Although Li Shi has a good temper and will not kill him, Yidu still has a master of the destruction!
As for seeking the Northern Ming Dynasty, Chen Dexing didn't like the great scholars very much, and even if he voted, there wouldn't be a high-ranking official...
When Kublai Khan saw him laughing and crying, he nodded lightly: "Wang Qing is wronged. When he returns to Jingzhao Mansion, I will promote you... to be a Taichang Grand Minister!"
"Your Majesty, is it Taichang Shaoqing?" Zhao Bi whispered.
Kublai Khan touched his beard: "The great minister is greater than the Shao minister, and Wang Qing is a loyal minister, so he must be the great minister."
"The emperor is wise." Zhao Bi and Zhang Wen said respectfully.
"Without?" Kublai Khan smiled bitterly, "If you are truly wise, you will not be defeated!"
Zhao Bi, Zhang Wenqian and Wang Pan exchanged glances with each other. Zhang Wenqian asked: "Emperor, the thieves in Hebei are now in great power. It is better to cross the Yellow River early to reorganize the military."
Kublai Khan shook his head and said, "The Yellow River cannot be crossed lightly, and Hebei cannot be abandoned. The Song and Jin dynasties in the past lost Hebei first and then the Central Plains. My great Yuan cannot repeat the same mistakes!"
Kublai Khan said seriously, but half of the Mongolians who were snoring and eating raised their heads and widened their eyes and looked at the big sweat that was not in the river. Don’t abandon Hebei? Can Chen Dexing agree? Maybe his army is already on the way to Puyang!
Kublai Khan said in Mongolian: "In the battle of Hebei, our army first defeated Liujiaji Town, and then defeated Jingxing Pass. He then defeated Zhending, Shunde, Guangping, and won consecutive battles and won countless battles! He chased the enemy all the way to Hebei of the Qing Dynasty, and there was a defeat... But in general, he still won!"
Can you say that?
A group of Mongolian sect kings blinked their little eyes. As a big sweat, can they really open their eyes and tell lies like this?
Isn’t this Hebei area originally the Yanyun Province of Dayuan? How many territory population can Dayuan control now?
Zhending, Shunde and Guangping are all the three routes, what can I do to recover? I just followed Chen Dexing’s butt, and after the robbery, no official army was sent to stay. It probably won’t take long. Everyone’s surname must be Chen!
As for the four routes of Yanjing, Pingluan, Baoding, Hejian, Yanjing, Pingluan, and Pingluan, which are further north, they have been confirmed to be occupied by the Northern Ming Dynasty. There is no news about Baoding and Hejian. It is estimated that when Chen Dexing was fighting in the south, the army he left on the northern line had completely occupied these two routes!
In addition, there is also an important town in Hebei. Daming Road, Lucheng Daming has long been occupied by Chen Dexing. However, the three prefectures such as Kaizhou, Huazhou, and Puzhou in the south of Daming Road are still in the hands of Dayuan. In addition, there is Zhangde Road north of the Yellow River, and Weihui Road is still ruled by Dayuan officials.
Half of Daming Road plus Zhangde Road and Weihui Road, a total of two and a half roads are the entire territory of Dayuan in Hebei!
Moreover, even such a small territory may not be able to be kept for long. Because in the Battle of the Qing River four days ago, the Mongolian army suffered heavy losses. Not only did they lose all the looted spoils, slaves and baggage in the army, but they also lost at least 100,000 war horses and 20,000 warriors!
The troops collected are still 40,000 (thousands of people are expected to have not returned to the team), and most of them are exhausted. Many people have even lost their weapons and armor.
Whether such an army can fight a strong enemy like the Northern Ming army within a few months of reorganization will probably be a question mark.
Seeing the hesitation on the faces of the generals, Kublai Khan smiled and said, "Don't worry about Beiming and Dongtang... I got good news on my way to Puyang!"
He paused deliberately, glanced around the lobby with bright eyes, and suddenly laughed: "Chen, the two thieves of Li have turned against each other! The mother of Li, the pseudo-Tang empress dowager Yang Miaozhen, instructed Li Heng to lead the Dangxiang cavalry to attack Chen thieves' original formation that night in the Battle of Daqing River!"
"This is actually happening!"
"God blesses the Great Mongolia!"
"Now the Great Mongolia is saved!"
"Khan, is the news reliable?"
The sect kings and generals in the lobby were all overjoyed and they all started to discuss.
Hearing someone questioning the reliability of the news, Kublai Khan laughed and stroked his beard and said, "Yesterday, Li Heng had already led his troops to abandon the secret and turn to the light, and now he is stationed outside Puyang City. He told me this news personally. Do you think it is credible?"
This seemed to be asking a question, but then Kublai Khan replied: "I think it is credible... Yang Miaozhen is a cruel person and often kills people. Who doesn't know about it? Moreover, the Great Mongolia was defeated after all. The old thief Yang thought that in the future, there would be nothing strange about the whole world, either Tang or Ming, and it would be impossible to attack and kill Chen thief Dexing.
In addition, don’t you think Chen Zhe’s pursuers retreated a little too early?”
After being reminded by him, everyone nodded. Chen Dexing's soldiers only chased after him for half a night and retreated. At that time, it was the most panicked time for the Mongolian army. If the Ming army chased for another two days, it is hard to say whether there were 20,000 people who retreated to Puyang now!
Kublai Khan paused for a while, and then said, "Since Chen Li turned against him... it is believed that Chen thieves have no power to go south for the time being. My Dayuan can retain Zhangde, Wei Hui, and Daming. The battle of Hebei is a victory. The battle in Henan is a great victory! Moreover, in the future, the pseudo-Tang Dynasty and Niming will definitely restrain each other and will defeat me one by one! This is my Dayuan!"
It turns out that the people who are knelt are dead and say they are alive! But... the warriors below are all like beggars, and they don’t look like a great victory no matter how they look!
Kublai Khan had already stood up, with a full face of energy: "Zhao Bi, Zhang Wenqian, please go quickly to let someone win the victory in Hebei, and everyone knows Bianliang, Luoyang, and Jingzhao!"
"I will obey the order."
Kublai Khan suddenly showed murderous aura on his face and said in Mongolian saying: "Zhangde, Wei Hui, and Daming are all traitors everywhere, all of whom are in the fake Tang Dynasty, and they are in conflict with the dark and dark. We should send a large army to suppress them, demote them to slaves, and take all their money to reward Mongolian warriors! Let my Mongolian warriors get enough spoils, and then return to the army in triumph!"
Zhao Bi, Zhang Wenqian and Wang Pan all understood Mongolian language, and they sucked in a cold breath when they heard Kublai Khan's orders. What is this? He obviously suffered a defeat and suffered heavy losses, but he wanted to plunder his people as spoils for the soldiers so that they could pretend to be a victorious army? Is the people in the Han area still wanting it? Just as the three of them were about to give advice, the Mongolians in the lobby were already cheering with murderous aura.
"Long live the great sweat!"
"God of immortality blesses the Mongols!"
