…

Since the beginning of winter, a large number of Mongols, because they could not stand the hunger and cold, fled to the area of the Nan River and the Buerhan Mountains, and then surrendered to Dazhong.

For these Mongols, Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong accepted them all, provided food, and then the officials sent by the imperial court sinicized and demolished them.

During this period, some Mongols also tried to seize the area of the Nan River and the Buerhan Mountains by force, or organized soldiers and horses to rob the Chinese army's livestock and food.

It is a pity that these bold Mongols, without exception, were all defeated or even slaughtered by the Chinese army that had been waiting for them for a long time.

It can be said that Yue Fei's plan is being implemented step by step, and it is going well.

Li Yan was eager to wait for Yue Fei to capture Hebule and Hebule's third son, Erjin Yesucai (Temujin's father), and then return to Zhongjing.

But Li Yan has been away from Zhongjing for almost a year, and it is about to be the end of the year, and Li Yan has to personally preside over this year's sacrificial activities, which is irreplaceable by others.

In addition, and most importantly, now that the overall situation has been decided, the rest is actually water mill kung fu.

Therefore, after giving Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong a holy decree that "I want to see Hebule and his seven sons alive, and I want to see the corpses of Hebule and his seven sons when I die", Li Yan returned to Zhongjing with the more than 2,000 beauties he collected in the north this time, escorted by an army of 200,000.

Regarding Li Yan's order, Yue Fei and Yang Yi were puzzled!

You must know that what is practiced on the grassland is that the elder brother dies, and the younger brother inherits his throne.

Therefore, if Li Yan was worried that he would not be able to clear the aftermath of the Monghu Kingdom, he should let Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong arrest Hebule's brothers, instead of Hebule's seven sons, none of whom are now adults, and cannot rule the Mongols at all, on the contrary, it is rumored that Hebul has already revealed that if he has any accident, his throne will pass to his younger brother Taichi Wubu Baba.

But Li Yan's order didn't seem to be wrong, Li Yan even wrote the name of the child, which was a person who wanted to be named by name.

Li Yan's actions are sometimes very imaginative, and many things, only after a long time has passed, can others understand Li Yan's deep meaning, and others will know how far Li Yan can see farther than them.

Yue Fei and Yang Yi, who have followed Li Yan for one or two decades, have seen too many of this situation.

Therefore, Yue Fei, Yang Yi and others are also accustomed to it, and if they don't understand it, they don't think about it, they just do it.

As a result, he should soon become famous, and became the second person on the wanted list of Dazhong, second only to his father Hebule, above his six brothers, and even above several of his uncles, and even close to the khans of several other tribes.

And this year, Xiao'er is only seven years old.

……

When there were seven days left before the Chinese New Year, Li Yan returned to Zhongjing.

Before, Li Yan secretly guarded against the coup d'état, there was no shadow at all, and all the officials and people in the central capital went out of the city to welcome Li Yan's return.

Li Cunzhi passed Li Yan's first round of tests.

Therefore, after Li Yan returned, he threw Li Cun into the capital hall and asked him to deal with national affairs with a group of governors - Li Cun took another step away from the throne.

has been gone for nearly a year, and there are too many things that Li Yan needs to deal with personally, especially in this year.

But—

Li Yan put aside all other things for the time being, but first changed the year name to "Dading", that is, as soon as this year passes, it will become the first year of Dading.

With Li Yan's current identity, it is impossible to do anything without deep meaning, especially when Li Yan came back, he changed his year name.

What's more, Li Yan also changed the era name to "Dading", a name with obvious meaning.

Therefore, some people who are good at figuring out Li Yan's mind guess that Li Yan is preparing to stop expanding externally.

Yes.

From Li Yan's original intention, after eliminating the Hu people in the north and unifying the grassland, Dazhong no longer needs to expand externally, and the current territory is enough for Li Yan and his descendants to squander.

You must know that once the Jin and Mongols are completely eliminated, the sphere of influence of Dazhong can be advanced to the Arctic Ocean and the entire Siberia will be drawn into the territory of Dazhong.

As a result, the land area of Dazhong may be slightly inferior to that of the British Empire and the Mongol Empire in the original history.

This is already extremely remarkable - not to mention whether the Great Mongol Empire will appear again, and even if it does, the Great Mongol Empire and the British Empire will not be able to hide the glory of the Great and Medium Empire.

Therefore, Li Yan felt that he should also herd Ma Nanshan and return the people to a real peace.

Li Yan's move has been highly praised by the world.

In addition, Li Yan is about to completely pacify the troubles that have plagued the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years.

Li Yan's prestige has reached a higher height, and no one can match it.

By the spring of the first year of Dading, more than half of the Mongols had chosen to surrender to Dazhong.

The officials of Dazhong all adopted Sinicization and demolition treatment for these Mongols, so that they could completely integrate into Dazhong and completely become Chinese.

As for the Mongols who did not surrender, seven out of ten died of freezing, starvation, or cannibalism in the cold winter of last year.

Speaking of which, God is also helping Li Yan and helping Dazhong - last winter, it may be the coldest winter in the past hundred years, and the coldest place in Siberia may have reached minus 80 degrees Celsius at the coldest time.

Short section.

After this winter passed, the Mongols, who were not under the control of Dazhong, did not even have a tenth of the original amount, and they had no livestock, no food, and lived like a year.

But even so, the Chinese army still did not let them go.

After a long winter of recuperation, the strong Chinese army, under the leadership of Yue Fei and Yang Yi, continued to march north to find the Mongols who survived.

After months of searching, the Western Route Army finally found the Mongols in the upper reaches of the Lena River.

At this time, the war horses of the Mongols had already been eaten by themselves, where could they outrun the Western Route Army, which had hundreds of thousands of war horses?

Therefore, there was no suspense in this battle, the Chinese army slaughtered nearly 100,000 Mongols, captured more than 70,000 Mongols, and only more than 20,000 less than 30,000 Mongols continued to flee north.

By the way, six of Hebule's seven sons were captured by the Chinese army, and the one who ran away was not the eldest son of Hebule, in other words, there would be no more Temujin in this world.

As for the 20,000 or 30,000 Mongols who fled, the Chinese army still clung to it, chased it all the way to the edge of the Arctic Ocean, killed more than 20,000 people, captured the Hebule family alive, and Yue Fei and Yang Yi were willing to give up.

After that, Yue Fei, Yang Yi and others found a boulder embedded in the mountain on a cliff on the edge of the Arctic Ocean, and then they set up an altar in the south to worship heaven and earth, and carved Li Yan's exploits and the achievements of their Western Route Army on the boulder as a commemoration, to show that this place is included in Chinese territory, and this boulder was later called "Zhenbei Stone".

After doing all this, the Western Route Army escorted the Hebule family back to Zhongjing to offer prisoners.

On the other hand, the Eastern Route Army also defeated or surrendered the rest of Dajin's territory after spring.

After that, many Jin people fled into the mountains or into the mountains of Eastern Siberia.

It takes a long time for these remnants to be completely clear, and it is not an overnight thing, and it will be handed over to the local government to find a way in the future.

All in all, Dazhong can be regarded as completely pacifying the troubles in the north......
