The succession of the Mongol khanate planted the bane of turmoil in the era of Genghis Khan, and Kublai Khan, in order to ensure that his family could occupy the khanate forever, followed the advice of the Han Confucians to establish Zhenjin as the crown prince, but still failed to solve the conflict between the steppe civilization and the Central Plains civilization, but instead caused a more fierce conflict between tradition and innovation, and finally failed to solve the bloody nature of the succession.

Zhao Yu is still very happy to see Empress Nanbi's participation in the battle for the throne, no matter whether it is successful or not, there is such a-stirring stick in it, it will cause civil strife. However, he is still very 'optimistic' about Nanbi, and the Central Plains also has a young lord to succeed to the throne, and the queen mother is in charge of the country, but it is also a helpless choice at the very time. And in Mongolia it's more of a tradition.

According to the ancient customs of Mongolia, as long as they become "Khan" level figures, they can marry unlimited wives, and they are nomadic people, living in no fixed place, so they set up "ear cut" placement, that is, "palace tent" or "concubine tent" meaning, but only the wife and a few important wives can be called "Hatun", only they can set up "cut off the ear", just like the main house, partial house, concubine room and room girl in the Han land.

Because the men of the Mongol Khanate had been on expeditions for many years, women were often in charge of the production, life management, and even state affairs of the Khanate, and the empress was already accepted by the majority of the people. After the death of the old Great Khan and the new Great Khan was not yet elected, the queen was often in charge of the state and was in charge of the government, which was certainly beneficial to maintaining the stability of the country. However, the Central Plains said that the Ji Sichen caused chaos in the government, and not all the queens of Mongolia were good people.

The Great Khan of Ögedei is the most typical one, who is not satisfied with just controlling the harem, but lives deep in the "ears" and begins to abuse power. She is neither shrewd nor ambitious. With a very feminine posture, he provoked royal fighting and fratricide. Not only did he use the hand of the shaman to make Genghis Khan's youngest son Tuo Lei die an unknown death, but he also wanted to continue the conspiracy to use the "step-marriage system" to devour the Tuo Lei family as a whole.

Although this plan was not realized, she turned to take advantage of the weakness of the Great Khan of Ogedai who was "addicted to alcohol" due to guilt, and deliberately connived at it, and finally caused him to "drown in the sea of wine". As much as the early achievements of the Great Khan of Ögedai were ruined, Empress Naima Zhen finally moved from the backstage to the foreground, and ascended to the throne of the "prison country" of the Great Mongolia under the support of the stubborn and conservative forces.

The wife of the third generation of the Great Khan Guiyu, Hai Lost Da Hatun, is also not a fuel-efficient lamp. Guiyou Khan was not only disabled but also extremely mediocre in qualifications, and in the first "eldest son's conscription", he had a grudge with his cousin Commander Batu because of his arrogance. However, after her husband ascended the throne, Hai Lost used the name of "cleaning up the official history" to pick up the feudal country of Batu by Khan's expedition. Fortunately, the Great Khan died suddenly in the middle of the journey, which prevented the Mongol Khanate from being divided into civil wars. But Hai Lost still did not repent, but succeeded his mother-in-law and ascended to the position of "prison country".

And the one who turned the tide was also a woman, the widow of the drag and the mother of Kublai Khan, Solu Heteni, who was in her inconspicuous "ear" far from the Khan's court, and displayed her political talents vertically and horizontally. In the end, he formed an alliance with the Batu family and successfully held a gathering of nobles called "Kuritai", making full use of the anger of the heavens and the people to completely drive the sea lost Hatun and her two unangry sons off the stage of history.

The two generations of Naimazhen and Hadun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who served as "superintendents of the country" for eight years, were in turmoil in the country, competing with their sons for power, and almost destroyed the great cause created by Genghis Khan, causing a great regression in the history of the grassland. The next chaos is settled, and whoever succeeds to the throne will further divide Mongolia internally, and the political struggle between Mongolia and Han will become more intense, but it will only benefit Zhao Yu......

The arrival of Zheng Huchen strengthened the intelligence work, and also restored the connection between the mausoleum and the outside world, and Zhao Yu soon learned that the Yidu Wanhu Office stationed in Pingjiang and the Yingzhou Wanhu Office of the Wuwei Army had received orders from the Hangzhou Wanhu Mansion to come to reinforcements in the starry night, and prepared to gather all their forces to capture and kill themselves in one battle, so as to completely solve the Qiongzhou problem.

Zhao Hao estimated the itinerary of the two armies. Pingjiang is today's Suzhou, three hundred miles away, if the Yidu army comes by canal, it can be reached in two days, and it will take five days at most by land; Wuwei is far away in Luzhou, 600 miles away, although not far from the Yangtze River, to take the waterway but to detour thousands of miles, so he judged that the soldiers and horses of Yingzhou Wanhu must come by land, according to the normal speed of the march will take ten days, but it is the rainy season, and it is not easy to think normally.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is coming to help from two ways, should we first annihilate the current Shangdu Wanhu soldiers and horses, and then fight the other two ways to reduce the pressure!" Ni Liang said after listening to the briefing.

"Ni Dutong, this official thinks it's inappropriate. If we annihilate the ten thousand households in Shangdu at present, then the land of Pingjiang will find that our army is false and real, and it will definitely stop moving forward and stay in Lin'an, which will be detrimental to the next stage of our campaign. Lin Zhiwu objected.

"Although it is reasonable, if the three thousand households of the Yuan army gather in this projectile land, we will lose the place where we can maneuver, and it will not be conducive to the deployment of the troops, and we will be in danger of being trapped here and dying!" Ni nodded and shook his head again.

"Sizzle, Ni Dutong's words are also reasonable, the enemy only needs to block the valley mouth and send troops to garrison, and we have to defend and attack, which really increases our troop consumption and difficulty!" Lin Zhiwu took a breath and said, "It's ruthless, the enemy is scared away, and it will be difficult for us to catch them again." But when all the enemies go south, it will be difficult to eat them in one bite! ”

"So what?" Zhao Yu looked at both of them with a pensive look and asked again.

"Please give me advice from Your Majesty!" Lin Zhiwu said with a wry smile.

"Don't stick your eyes to one place, you must know that we are going to fight a big battle this time, and we must look at the entire southeast, and even the entire Jiangnan!" Zhao Hao smiled and said, "The enemy reinforcements from two ways are coming, but the distance is different, and the time required is also different, we can concentrate on one road first, and then mobilize troops to fight the other way, do you think it is feasible?" ”

"Your Majesty's intention is to lure the enemies of Yidu Wanhu here first, and annihilate them first. But his subordinates were worried that once the enemy of Yingzhou Wanhu learned the news, they would stop moving forward, or even turn back the same way. Lin Zhiwu frowned and said.

"What do you say?" Zhao Yu nodded, but turned his face to ask Ni Liang.

"Your Majesty, I think that after the annihilation of Shangdu and Yidu, our troops can turn to Shaoxing, and Dong Yicheng can attack Liujiagang, if it goes well, it can be transferred from the Taicang River to the canal to capture Pingjiang, and the upward can threaten Jiankang, and the downward and our army will form a situation that threatens Lin'an. And Hangzhou Wanhu Mansion has no troops to adjust, so it will be difficult for the Yingzhou army to retreat, so it can only be rerouted to help Lin'an, and we can wait for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy in its march. Ni Liang pointed to the map.

"Well, that's good!" Zhao Yu nodded approvingly.

"It's a pity that Dong Yicheng's department only has one brigade of marines, if its troops are sufficient, we can take it together with Jiankang, so Jiangdong will become His Majesty's bag!" Ni Liang still frowned and said.

"Oh, tell me, what if there are enough troops?" Zhao Yu said with some surprise, he didn't expect this fool to be able to think about things.

"Your Majesty, if I have one or two more divisions, I will go to Liujiagang to transfer the troops of Zhending Wanhu stationed in Jiankang, and then take advantage of the fierce battle between the two armies to send troops to attack Jiankang. If you still have the strength to spare, you can go up the river, capture Jiangzhou and Ezhou, peek at Xiangfan, and then use the Yangtze River as a defense to confront the enemy and manage the land of Jiangdong! Ni pointed to the map and said one by one.

"Eh, I see!" Without waiting for Zhao Hao to speak, Lin Zhiwu interjected.

"What do you understand?" Ni Liang twisted his face to look at Lin Zhiwudao.

"Commander Ni, I'm afraid Your Majesty has already known your thoughts, don't forget that there are still five divisions under the command of Zuo Xiang behind us waiting to move, and there are still five divisions in Qiongzhou that have not moved!" Lin Zhiwu stretched out his hand and said with his palms crossed.

"Hmph, Your Majesty has already had an idea, but he used it to entertain us!" Ni Liang snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction and muttered.

"Haha......" Zhao Hao didn't get angry but laughed when he heard it, only Ni Liang dared to be so 'presumptuous' with himself, and now he was even more relieved in his heart, which showed that Ni Liang, a stupid man, had finally opened his mind, and he also had a general who could be trusted enough to be independent.

The plan was decided, and Zhao Yu ordered Zheng Huchen to send people to closely monitor the movements of the Yidu and Yingzhou armies, and let the action team infiltrate Lin'an. At the same time, he sent an order to Dong Yicheng to attack Liujiagang, wait for an opportunity to seize the grain stock, and then turn to Taihu Lake and threaten Pingjiang. And ordered Lu Xiufu to lead the army north along the mouth of the Yangtze River into the Yangtze River, and captured Jiankang. In addition, Wen Tianxiang, Chen Zeweng and Gao Yingsong rose up, led the armies to recover the prefectures and counties, and developed northward.

And here, Zhao Yu ordered Ni Liang to launch a small-scale attack on the Shangdu army that had entered the valley, and made a breakthrough gesture to make it feel the pressure, so as to force the Yidu and Yingzhou armies to speed up their reinforcements, so as to quickly end the war here, adjust the direction of the operation, prepare for the capture of Lin'an, and strive to complete the strategic goal before the Yuan court returns to normal operation, and gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong.

Zhao Hao's seemingly chaotic old fist seems to have violated the original intention, but in fact, it is also a hidden mystery. In the place of planning, Zhao Hao thought of Rommel's opening up of the African battlefield in World War II, he faced the British army, which had been operating in Africa for a long time, and was at a disadvantage in terms of troops and equipment, but it not only quickly gained a firm foothold, but also almost drove the British army out of Africa, which was not unrelated to his skillful use of tactics.

Rommel flexibly used the tactical means of division in the offensive, and always put on a posture of attacking in a big way and dividing and outflanking the British army. This hand is specially designed for peers, you must know that war is one of the oldest professions of mankind, and all countries have high-achieving students, and even if they don't, the people who command the army are also well versed in military principles. And those who know a little about military affairs know that in battle, the first taboo is cut off, and the second taboo is flanks exposed.

Rommel only has one armored regiment, plus two divisions of Italians, and his combat effectiveness is negligible, and even if he is surrounded by a desperate fight, he may not have the capital to win, in fact, he may not even have enough ammunition and gasoline for the battle. Although the tactics of dividing the attack were also adopted, they always put on a posture that threatened the British flanks and tried to cut off the British army's rear. Both Eastern and Western armies have this common problem in wars, retreating as soon as their flanks are exposed.

And what Rommel needed was a "brick family" that the British commander understood principles like this, and this kind of "brick family" was old-fashioned and rote to memorize books. If it weren't for the "brick family", a layman commanding and ordering the troops to resist desperately, Rommel would not have been able to do it. But it would be easy for him to run into his peers, the "bricks", who would retreat after feeling unsafe, without in-depth analysis: how much firepower the Germans had, what was the purpose of the German offensive, and whether they could win a battle with them.

So Rommel was able to eat the scattered stragglers in the retreat of the British army, and even if he didn't eat them, he could capture a large amount of supplies he urgently needed by the way. It was with this hand that he deceived the British army again and again, and kept making large-scale offensive postures, causing the British army to retreat hundreds of miles. So Rommel earned the nickname "Desert Fox", and the fox is a master of deception, and Zhao Hao now wants to be a fox......

After receiving the order of the province and the Wanhu Mansion, Liu Guojie immediately reorganized his troops and horses to the south, but the information he obtained was extremely limited, only that the little emperor of the Song army learned that the imperial tomb was stolen and excavated, and led the army to protect the tomb, not only captured Yang Lian Zhenjia, the chief of the Jiangnan religion, a close confidant of the Great Khan, but also suffered heavy casualties among the Shangdu army who went to conquer, and was unable to launch an attack.

Liu Guojie marveled at the remnants of the little emperor of the Song Dynasty who dared to go deep into the hinterland of the Yuan court alone, but he was not surprised that the Shangdu army suffered a big loss, you must know that he participated in the battle of Yashan, at the time of victory, it was the little emperor who personally led an army to turn the tables, not only defeated them, but even the commander Zhang Hongfan died, he just escaped by luck, and the sharp firearms of the Song army left an indelible impression on him.

Of course, Liu Guojie wanted to avenge the revenge of the year, but he was still sober, knowing that the Song army could win again and again and gain a firm foothold in Qiongzhou, relying on sharp firearms and a warlike navy. In this way, the little emperor came thousands of miles to protect the mausoleum, and it must be inseparable from the cooperation of the naval army, but the land troops will definitely not be too much, otherwise the Shangdu army will not be able to survive today, and it can still occupy the valley.

But even so, Liu Guojie still gave up the convenient waterway, worried that the Qiongzhou naval army guarding the canal would intercept the reinforcements halfway. Because he knew that this kind of worry was not superfluous, no matter how stupid the little emperor was, he would leave himself a way out, so the navy would not let the warships flow unimpeded in the canal, and he didn't care whether you could water or not, so for the sake of insurance, Liu Guojie still chose to come to Shaoxing by land......
