When Zheng Yunming arrived in Jinzhou, the troops of Jinzhou Metropolitan and Yanwei had just returned to Jinzhou City for three days, and if Zheng Yunming had arrived a few days earlier, he would not have been able to meet with Jinzhou Metropolitan Commander immediately. Although He Yanwei fled without a fight in the face of the broad army in the battle of Chuzhou last year, he was reprimanded by the imperial court. This year, after being isolated behind the enemy, he became proactive, and when Kuoduan led the army to slaughter in Chengdu, He Yanwei led 5,000 men and horses from the headquarters to rush out of Raofeng Pass from the path, and the troops pointed directly at Jingzhao Mansion, in an attempt to attack the rear base of the Mongolian army. Kuoduan's withdrawal was partly because he received a report of Qu Chu's illness and death, and partly because the rear was attacked by the Song army, so he had to withdraw his troops to protect Jingzhao. After the advance of the army arrived in Fengzhou, he forced He Yanwei to withdraw along the original road.

When Zheng Yunming arrived at the city of Jinzhou, the defenders did not believe that Zheng Yunming dared to lead such a small number of men and horses to the front line with the dignity of the dignified capital, and they bent their bows and arrows, and loudly scolded him to leave quickly. Zheng Yunming had no choice but to let the officers and soldiers defending the city put down the hanging baskets and let himself go to the city alone to verify his identity.

After the city guard saw Zheng Yunming's official document and seal, he knew that the young man in front of him was indeed the commander of the capital appointed by the imperial court, and the dignified Kuizhou appeased the deputy envoy, and the news in Shukou was closed, far less well-informed than Shuzhong, but the top and bottom of Jinzhou also knew that a young general had risen in Jinghu, and he was still the yain of the important ministers of the court. The city guard looked at the seal ribbon and Zheng Yunming's attire and bearing, how could he not be convinced? Hurriedly led Zheng Yunming to the Jinzhou Government Office to see He Yanwei.

When he arrived at the main gate of the Deya Office, he saw He Yanwei wearing armor and leading the guards to greet him at the door. When he saw Zheng Yunming coming, he came to salute with a happy face: "This time, with Zheng Dutong leading the army to reinforce, Rao Fengguan must be foolproof." ”

Zheng Yunming also returned the salute and said: "Hedutong is wrong, Zheng didn't come here to help Hedutong defend Jinzhou." ”

He Yanwei's face changed, and he asked, "Since it's not to aid Jinzhou, why did Zheng Dutong come here?" ”

Zheng Yunming took a step forward and said: "I came to discuss with the capital to give up Jinzhou, move to Luzhou, and take charge of the defense of Luzhou and Xuzhou. ”

When He Yanwei heard this, he subconsciously roared: "Tell me to give up the defense and move to the mainland, this is to send me to the execution ground!" ”

The Song military law, abandoned the defensive land and moved the tun without authorization. Of course, since the beginning of the dynasty, military law has not necessarily been strictly enforced, and after the southern crossing, the program and discipline have been increasingly abolished. Even if the commander of some armies abandoned the city and lost his land, he would not be beheaded according to the law. It is often dealt with in a row of several levels. But He Yanwei also knew that when the war was urgent, the imperial court dared to kill people, and it was also willing to borrow the heads of a few generals to suppress those arrogant soldiers who had orders and prohibitions. In the previous campaign of Kublai Khan's invasion of Shukou, He Yanwei was imprisoned for the defeat of the army, and it was not until the change of Sichuan officials that he was able to release from prison and lead the troops again. This time, he categorically did not dare to transfer the army without permission.

How could Zheng Yunming not know about his thoughts? All he could rely on was orders from the court.

He took out the official document of the Privy Council from his arms, handed it to He Yanwei, and said: "I was appointed by the imperial court to enter Shu to set up military measures, and before the new Sichuan Xuanfu arrived, I have the right to act cheaply, please don't worry, but if the court surrenders, Zheng Yunming will bear it." ”

He Yanwei took the official document and carefully examined it several times, and indeed gave Zheng Yunming the right to dispose of it on the spot. In fact, Jinzhou is lonely in the north, has become a thorn in the side of the Mongolian army, when the Mongols go south again, 100,000 troops are rushing to Jinzhou, there will never be half a moment's hesitation, at that time will be completely annihilated, and they will inevitably die on the battlefield.

Now there is Zheng Yunming, who has descended from the sky, to take the responsibility of retreating. This is really unexpected good news for He Yanwei, He Yanwei is reckless and doesn't have much scheming, otherwise he wouldn't have been caught by Shangfeng to rectify him because of his crimes, he roughly scrutinized it, thinking that if something happens, it is a reliable business to rely on Zheng Yunming, so he patted his chest boldly: "Since there is an order from the imperial court, how dare Lao He delay, according to Zheng Dutong's order, I will lead the army south to Luzhou tomorrow!" ”

"Slow down, slow down." Zheng Yunming said with a smile: "If it was just as simple as moving Tun, I wouldn't have come to get rid of the peace with the capital in person." ”

He said to He Yanwei slowly: "The Mongol invasion, the official army was defeated and retreated, from the south of Yangping Pass, the prefectures and counties of the imperial court have no time to recover, but the land can be entrusted to the enemy for the time being, but the people must not be handed over, these thousands of people under your command need to take on the most important task, that is, all the people below Jinzhou and Chuzhou, the treasury and the grain stored in the cellar, all retreat to the south, to Chongqing, to Kuizhou, do not leave a single people, a grain of grain to the enemy." ”

In fact, what he said was far from realistic, and it must be known that hundreds of years later, with mechanized means of transportation and industrialized organizational processes, it was still impossible to empty all the people and property on the land, and say that there would be no grain left for the enemy. In today's society where the peasants depend on the land and the gentry depend on their hometowns, it is even more of a fool's dream.

Zheng Yunming studied the battle situation in Sichuan, and the eastern part of Sichuan was mountainous, and he was not afraid of the stormy attack of the Mongol cavalry group, but was afraid that the Mongols would give up the habits of the nomads, clean up the hearts of the people in Sichuan, restore the economic capacity and production capacity of important towns in northern Sichuan such as Xingyuan, Chuzhou and Lizhou, and start a tug-of-war with the Song Dynasty in Sichuan. In fact, Zheng Yunming's expectation was not bad at all, on the other hand, the Mongols seized the fact that the successive envoys of Sichuan and Xuanfu in the Song Dynasty were only concerned with dealing with the war and were indifferent to the residents who had fallen in the north, and sent high-ranking officials to set up county officials in northern Sichuan, appease the displaced people, establish strong cities and production bases, and continuously deliver food and supplies to the field corps entering Sichuan, so that the war situation in Sichuan was favorable to the Mongols.

"All the rural people, with the village as a unit, all moved to the south!" Zheng Yunming stared at He Yanwei with two eyes and said: "Take away the food as much as possible, burn it if you can't take it away, burn all the houses, tear down all the trestle bridges, seal the city gate with gold juice, fill the well with stones, and plug the mountain road with earth and stones. ”

He Yanwei thought to himself, if this is the case, even if the people choose to stay, it will be difficult to survive, and they must only be scattered in the countryside and turn to death.

Zheng Yunming said again: "I have ordered Wang Deng to lead three thousand troops to wait for the capital army at the Sword Gate, and when we arrive at the Sword Pavilion, we can help the capital to unify the army." ”

"In that case, why not" He Yanwei meant, why not simply come to join the Golden State military horses and take on the task of clearing the wilderness together? Although he is reckless by nature, he is not stupid, and after a little thought, he quickly understood Zheng Yunming's intentions. Qingye has always been a very offending job, the people are content with their homeland, if they don't really encounter a big event, how can they be willing to leave their hometown and live far away, so when Qingye is clear, it is often the sergeant urging, swords and guns threatened, and if it is not good, it will be whipped. The army also regarded this as an opportunity for a big windfall, and took the opportunity to wantonly rob and kill the people. He and Yanwei are martial artists, and they only need to master the soldiers and horses in their hands to have a stable position, and they don't have to pay attention to the complaints and cries of those villagers, but this official heard that he is the son of the former Prime Minister Zheng, and the goal is naturally not to do everything, but he is afraid that in the next few decades, he will be in charge of the Great Song Dynasty Political Affairs Hall, and he naturally refuses to dirty his hands because of these things, and he will fall into a bad reputation.

Now this arrangement, yes, the work of making suggestions is all Zheng Yunming's, and for the people, those who play the role of the king of Hades are all the people of Jinzhou Metropolitan Commandery, and this scholar's arrangement is very shrewd. But He Yanwei was also happy about this, the army moved to the tun and hurried, and it was to avoid the battle and withdraw, the morale was low and the army's morale was unstable.

So it was agreed that from the afternoon of the same day, the Jinzhou Metropolitan Department issued a notice in the townships, announcing the matter of moving south, and the villagers were unwilling to move south, but in front of the swords, guns and clubs of the government. Many people were also forced to reluctantly embark on the road of migration, not to mention that the rumors of the Mongolian army killing people in Shu have spread everywhere, and it is difficult to see even a living person near Chengdu, which makes many people anxious to go to the peaceful land in eastern Sichuan to avoid disaster.

The key to the whole plan is that the relocation is not only in Jinzhou, but also in all parts of the Sanguan, from Xingyuan to Chuzhou, Zheng Yunming has sent people to announce the order to relocate. In view of the constraints of various conditions, there were still a few who were willing to go south with the army, but the migration operation that extended to the entire Shukou still reached the scale of hundreds of thousands. The mighty flow of people marched south along the rugged Shu Road, and there were inevitably sacrifices and losses along the way, but Zheng Yunming knew that at least most of them survived, much better than staying in the north and being killed by the Mongols.

This huge group of refugees, until the Sword Pavilion was able to take a breath, here Wang Deng has been waiting with three thousand Zhenwu troops for a long time, at this time all the way to the Jinzhou Metropolitan Department of abuse of the refugees, suddenly received by the Zhenwu Army cordially, not only to provide food and lodging, but also to food, escort them to the march, for a while, the joy filled the valley of the Sword Pavilion. Zheng Yunming's department is strictly disciplined, and the reputation of being close to the people and doing good deeds has spread for a while.

Zheng Yunming didn't care about these things at this time, he was dealing with a more important matter.
