Chapter 73 Asking Delintai to be Famous (4)

The customs of China, but also an important point that distinguishes Huaxia from Zhuyi, the Central Plains has always been in awe of the dead, and the dead will eventually return to their ancestors, which is the imprint left by the ancient ancestor worship to China, but respect for the dead, the surrounding tribes rarely attach such importance to the Middle Earth, so that the emperors of the past dynasties have repeatedly ordered thin burials, and it is difficult to prohibit the action of burying the dead to express their thoughts and condolences.

Now the whole city of Chengdu has been slaughtered by the Mongols, and the corpses in the city have become a pile of white bones, as a member of the Sichuan officials, Zheng Yunming must not allow such a thing to happen.

He recruited 30,000 young men from the homeless people, and went to Chengdu Mansion to collect the corpses and bury them properly.

Although I have long known that the massacre of the Mongols is famous in history, and I also understand that in the achievements of the Mongols, Chengdu is by no means the most prominent, nor is it the most famous, but the knowledge in these books of later generations, and seeing the mountains of white bones in front of my eyes, are two completely different feelings, such a mountain of white bones is not one, two, three, but also ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, the result of the post-count, Chengdu Mansion alone in the city of the victim of more than one million people, since the king of Shu gathered in Chengdu, Chengdu Mansion, which has been prosperous for thousands of years and has not been harmed by the Hu people, has been in decline since the Tang Dynasty, as the second core of Chinese civilization since the Tang Dynasty.

"This is the journey of beasts, no, this is the trip of demons who are more excessive than beasts!" Zheng Yunming looked at the purgatory-like scene in front of him, and said to Wang Deng beside him: "Jing Song, there is such a nation in the world that annihilates human nature, and there is such a barbaric and cruel army, it is really unimaginable, unimaginable!" ”

Wang Deng gritted his teeth and said: "After all, the official is the son of a rich and noble family, and he doesn't know the sinister way of the world. I heard that the Mongols slaughtered 700,000 young men and women in Shandong at one time, simply because they wanted to go back to Mongolia, and these people were carrying trouble. Hu Ren's temperament is no different from that of a tiger and a wolf, and the world has long understood it. Today's enmity in Chengdu must be repaid in the future! ”

Zheng Yunming shook his head: "I'm only worried about the two Huai now, Jinghu has been stabilized, Sichuan has been destroyed, only the two Huai we have no news, once the two Huai are broken, even if the Mongols don't cross the river now, the Yangtze River will be invaded in the coming year, it will directly threaten Lin'an and the important land south of the Yangtze River."

Zheng Yunming quickly got the news about Huainan, when he returned to Jiading Mansion, he happened to meet the envoy sent by the Xiangyang Envoy to report the military situation of the two Huai, Zhao Kui still regarded Zheng Yunming as an old subordinate, and did not use the ordinary military intelligence report to fight, he sent the envoy sent by the Huaixi Envoy to inform the military situation directly to Sichuan to be responsible for explaining the military situation to Zheng Yunming in detail.

This envoy was a young envoy in the Du Gao shogunate of An Fengjun, although he was fifteen years old, he was able to speak well and talk eloquently. When Zheng Yunming first saw him, he whispered to Wang Deng: "Du Gong is known for his name, I don't know how to think about it, so let such a doll serve as an envoy, is there really no one to use Huaisi?" ”

The young man immediately said aloud: "Heroes don't ask where they come from, how can heroes be old?" The Great Song Dynasty has a 20-year-old capital rule, why can't there be a 15-year-old envoy? ”

Zheng Yunming laughed and said, "It's an interesting kid, at your age, you should study the sage book in the academy, and it's not too late to serve the country when you get fame." ”

The young man retorted loudly: "This is Zheng Dutong, since Dutong led the troops with scholars and became famous in Jinghu, do you know how many academies in Jiangnan have praised Dutong's reputation?" Now the Confucian students in their early twenties in Jiangnan are all gearing up to enter the Rong Division, and they can win a reputation on the battlefield by imitating Dutong, and the students are just a little anxious. ”

Zheng Yunming's expression was stern, and he said: "The Hu people attacked the weak and old soldiers in Jiangnan with millions of good soldiers, and the battlefield is a place where they have to fight with their lives all the time. This is a battlefield where hundreds of thousands of lives are gambled, but it is not a place for scholars to talk nonsense! ”

The young man honestly accepted these few words of admonition, and said, "The student must do his best, and dare not be negligent." ”

"That's it," Zheng Yunming motioned for someone to move his seat, told him to sit down, and pointed to the generals standing on both sides and said, "What is the situation in Huaixi, tell them in detail from the beginning." ”

The young man took the order and spoke carefully.

The Mongols used no less troops than the eldest son's expedition in this southern expedition, using more than 100,000 elite cavalry in Jinghu, more than 100,000 cavalry of various ethnic groups in Sichuan, and 70,000 cavalry of Marshal Chahan for attacking the direction of Lianghuai.

Chahan was a well-known backbone general of the Mongol army, and when he heard the news that he was leading his army to attack, the whole Huaixi was terrified. The Chahan army first broke through Gushi County in Gwangju, and the generals stationed in Huaixi, LΓΌ Wenxin and Du Lin, refused to carry out the imperial court's order to reinforce Gwangju, but instead supported their own troops and rebelled, entrenched in Lu'an and Huoqiu, and watched and watched.

The Mongol army then drove straight in, attacked Gwangzhou, and then attacked Luzhou, Huaixi envoy and deputy envoy along the river, Shi Songzhi, Huaidong pacification envoy You Shu and Chen Ye along the river sent troops to block, under the fierce battle between the two sides, the Huaixi army and horses stopped the Mongolian army from continuing to the south, and the Mongolian army turned to Huaidong to raid and besiege Chuzhou first. Zhao Bangyong, the commander of Chizhou of the Song army, led 10,000 elite soldiers to the rescue, and the two armies fought for seven rounds in the wind and rain, and the Mongol army felt that Chuzhou was difficult to overcome, so they took the initiative to retreat.

However, the Mongol army continued to advance south, and immediately broke through ** county, and the defenders surrendered. When the Mongolian army attacked **, the Song army sent the elite troops of the envoy division along the river to relieve the siege, the two armies met near Xuanhua Town, the Song army won the first battle, the leading generals thought that the enemy army would definitely return to retaliate, so they urged the Huaidong envoy to rush to reinforcements, but Huaidong did not have reinforcements for a long time, after the Mongolian army captured **, the Song army attacked Xuanhua with the main force, surrounded the Song army before and after, desperately attacked, the Song army also formed a formation, desperately resisted, and the general Fang Zhen was killed along the river. Then the four generals of Xuanhua, Wang Hai, Li Xian, Li Xiong and Liao Lei, died one after another, and the remnants were led by the deputy general Chen Wan, desperately fighting to get out of the encirclement, and the Mongol army could not stop it.

The number of Mongolian soldiers killed in the battle was several times that of the Song army, many people surrendered to the Song army, the vanguard of the black bone barge field was killed first, and then the Mongolian army commander who commanded the whole army did not know who it was, the Song army called the prince of Ye Guo, and also suffered a very severe gunshot wound, and died of serious injuries on the second day. The Mongol army was surprised and said that since they had followed the old Khan to attack the Jin Kingdom, they had never experienced such a fierce battle!

Although Chahan suffered some losses in Xuanhua, his fighting spirit remained undiminished and continued to attack Zhenzhou. This time, he met an opponent, Qiu Yue, the governor of Zhenzhou, who was both civil and military, and had a deep understanding of the art of war. Solid preparations were made before Chahan entered Zhenzhou. Every time the Mongol army attacked under the city, Qiu Yue commanded the defenders to meet them head-on and repulsed them. When the Mongols retreated slightly, Qiu Yue led his army out of the city, pursued the enemy outside the city, and successfully shot one of the enemy's generals.

Qiu Yue saw the enemy cavalry rolling in, so he said to the generals that the Mongol cavalry was too strong to be able to defeat the enemy, so they could only win by stratagem. So set up three ambushes in the west of the city, and placed a cannon at the head of the city, the Mongolian army really came from the west of the city, and was intercepted by the Song army ambush soldiers in all directions. In the evening, Qiu Yue sent elite soldiers to rob the camp and burn the Mongol tents, and the Mongol army was in disarray, and finally retreated from the city of Zhenzhou.

Another Mongolian cavalry invaded the territory of Gaoyou, Gaoyou guards sent soldiers and horses to guard Feng Tingjian to fight, Feng Tingjian led four fast ships, 200 crossbowmen advanced to Lingtang, and the vanguard of the Mongolian cavalry encountered, and the Song army all went ashore. Feng Tingjian ordered an ambush to be set up behind a farmhouse, and then lined up with fifty crossbowmen, and when the Mongol cavalry arrived, they immediately charged the crossbowmen. The Song army took turns shooting the Mongol army, but when the Mongol army approached, they all fell into the silt of the river pond, at this time the Song army behind the farmhouse also came out, flanked the Mongol army before and after, shot dozens of people in total, and when the main force of the Mongol army arrived, Feng Tingjian had already commanded a small force to slowly board the ship and retreat, and the whole army returned.

At the same time as the fierce battle in Huaidong, Chahan ordered the Song Dynasty rebel generals Cui Wenju and Fan Yongji, who were stationed in western Henan, to lead their troops to attack Anfeng. Du Gao of Zhi'an Fengjun said to his subordinates that the Mongol army's usual technique was to first capture a city as a base, and then rely on it to attack deeply. Now if the enemy wants to attack Anfeng, it is necessary to attack Shunchang, the barrier north of Anfeng, Shunchang has few troops, and the road is blocked and it is inconvenient to guard, so it is better to retreat the army and civilians in advance, so as not to become the target of the enemy. So he sent Du Shu to lead a thousand ships to carry money and grain to move the people. When the people boarded the ship and evacuated, the Mongolian army just arrived, so Du Shu sent troops to intercept the Mongolian army, and on the other hand, he received the people on the ship in an orderly manner, and finally transferred all the people of Shunchang safely.

Du Gao placed the people behind Shouchun, thinking that the outer defenses of Anfeng and Shouchun were weak, so he stepped up the construction of a sub-city outside Anfeng City. As soon as the sub-city was built, the Mongol army came to attack. The Song army fought to the death and shot two red-robed enemy leaders. The Mongol army then abandoned the sub-city and directly surrounded the city of Anfeng, and the commander of Anfeng, Nie Bin, led the troops to defend the city tightly, and the general Zhao Liang led the light cavalry to sneak out of the enemy and loot the enemy army in all directions. The Mongol army climbed high and looked out, but the Song army was all hidden in the house, unable to see the reality and reality. And when the Mongol army could not attack the city and the morale was low, Du Gao sent people out of the city to attack the enemy by surprise, and the Mongol army was defeated. So they all evacuated Anfeng, and Du Shu led the army to ambush them on their retreat and captured a large amount of booty.
