Wu Shaogang sent a large army into the Monan grassland, but it did not attract the attention of the Great Yuan court, which made Hao Jing and others puzzled, and Habichi and Wuliang Hetai and others stationed in the Mobei grassland did not divide their troops into the Monan grassland.

The Intelligence Agency has been working hard to investigate, and Tong Weihua of the capital did not show Kublai Khan's concern for the Monan grassland in the information transmitted, until August, Wu Shao just vaguely understood that I was afraid that Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan Imperial Court thought that the army he sent to the Monan Grassland would eventually be defeated by the harsh climate and environment of the grassland, so the Great Yuan Imperial Court did not need to send a large army to encircle and suppress it, and when the Song Army could not support it in the Monan Grassland and withdrew on a large scale, it was the time for Habichi and Wuliang to send troops to attack.

Wu Shaogang was sad about Kublai Khan's self-confidence, but he also kept an eye on the situation of the army.

In September, the first document finally came from the Monan grassland, at this time it has been nearly five months since the army started, Cai Siwei reported in the document that the army has occupied Heishui, Hezhou and Hami Fang in the Monan grassland, conquered and defeated the Horqin tribe, Chahar tribe, Tumut tribe and Ordos tribe in the Monan grassland, captured more than 50,000 war horses, countless cattle and sheep.

Receiving this document, Wu Shaogang was ecstatic, after a thousand years, Urumqi, the core place of the Inner Mongolia grassland, is the boundary under the jurisdiction of Hezhou, of course, today's Urumqi is not the center of the Mongolian grassland, because of the relationship between the Great Yuan Dynasty, almost all the center of the Mongolian grassland is in the Mobei grassland.

Wu Shaogang's heart finally let go.

The situation of the grassland is very different from that of the Central Plains, the territory is vast, sparsely populated, there is almost no arable land, the Mongols rely on nomadic herding and hunting to live, they do not know the culture of the Central Plains, and never attach importance to knowledge, and have always insisted on their own understanding, because of the limitations of natural conditions and climate, the grassland is extremely backward, and the pace of its civilization is far behind the Central Plains and the south.

It is very difficult to consolidate the rule in such a place, and the conquest by force can only last for a short time, and only the invasion of culture can truly submit to these places and the Mongol tribes.

Wu Shaogang knew this very well, so when the army set out, he repeatedly emphasized that he respected the customs of the Mongols, and that he must not discriminate against the Mongols because of their incivility, but also not because the Great Yuan Dynasty occupied the Central Plains, and connived at the pride of the Mongols, and defeated the Mongol tribes by attacking by force and blending cultures.

Cai Siwei understood Wu Shaogang's painstaking efforts, and when he was conquering the Monan grassland, he always respected the habits of the Mongols, even if he defeated the opponent, he also gave the opponent full respect, which greatly moved the tribes of the Monan grassland, such as the Tumut tribe, which took the initiative to surrender to the army.

Recruiting young people from the Mongol tribes into the army was one of the best and easiest ways to subdue the Mongol tribes.

Allowing the children of the powerful of the Mongolian tribes to enter the army is tantamount to capturing the hearts of the Mongolian tribes, and the children of the powerful of these tribes serve in the army, which also means the submission of the Mongolian tribes.

Of course, the real way to completely subjugate the Mongolian tribes is still in itself, only by making the Central Plains extremely strong, so strong that others are bowed and worshipped, then they can really convince others.

When Cai Siwei's letter was received, there was still no movement in the Monan grassland.

It is not surprising that the Mongolian steppe is vast, and it is very common for large armies to march for months in the steppe, and in the process of marching, there are too many difficulties to overcome, which must have caused the army to march slowly at times.

Kublai Khan and the magnates of the Great Yuan court were very familiar with the grassland, and they thought that in just a few months, the Song army that entered the Monan grassland could not make any achievements at all, and it was good to be able to survive in the Mobei grassland.

But something may happen soon.

After September, the climate of the Mongolian steppe will change dramatically, the vast harsh winter is coming, the harsh climate makes ordinary people unbearable at all, at that time, the Song army that entered the Monan steppe must be unbearable, taking advantage of this time, the Great Yuan court sent a large army to encircle and suppress, and will be able to obtain a major victory.

Wu Shaogang thought of this, and Hao Jing, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Wenqian and others also thought of this.

However, no one showed nervousness, and Cai Siwei's letter has reassured everyone.

The letter written by Wu Shaogang himself was quickly sent to the Monan grassland.

All matters that should be paid attention to were particularly emphasized by Wu Shaogang in his letter.

After the Wei Wangfu was set up in Kaifeng, all the centers of gravity began to shift to the Central Plains, and Kaifeng Fucheng became extremely prosperous and rich in a short period of time.

Sichuan and Yunnan and other places will undoubtedly be affected, at least in terms of population, many people have moved to Henan Province, as well as Shaanxi Province and Shanxi Province, and of course, there are also people from Jingnan Road, sporadically entering Sichuan.

Jingnan Road, Jinghu North Road, Jinghu South Road and other places began to become depressed.

These places are in the midst of war, depression is natural, what is more serious is that the Mongolian officials at all levels who govern these places do not care about the life or death of the people, they impose heavy taxes for the maintenance of the Mongolian army, as for whether the people's lives can be maintained, it is not for them to consider, and there are also Mongolian soldiers stationed in the localities, who do mischief and plunder the people at every turn, so that the people can not live at all.

The originally rich Jingxi Road and Jinghu Road fell into the hands of the Mongol army and were ravaged, if this situation continues, it will not be long before the situation in Jingzhaofu Road and other places will be repeated in Jingxi Road and other places.

The information provided by the Intelligence Agency made Wu Shaogang sigh, not only Jingxi Road and Jinghu Road, but also Lianghuai, the Dayuan Imperial Court's crazy exploitation in these places has reached the point of madness.

This is a typical killing of chickens and eggs, but Kublai Khan may not care, and the biggest thing that Kublai Khan thinks of now is to destroy the Great Song Dynasty and plunder the south, who doesn't know that the south is a rich land.

The exploitation of the Great Yuan Dynasty in Lianghuai, Jingxi Road and other places stimulated the development of Kaifeng Fucheng.

Lianghuai, Jingxi Road, Jinghu Road, Jiangnan Road, and even the merchants of Lin'an Mansion began to try their best to leave and go to Kaifeng Mansion, most of them detoured to Liangguang, entered Yunnan or Sichuan, and then arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, among which there were many merchants who chose to stay in Yunnan or Sichuan.

Jiangnan Road, Liangguang and Lin'an have all become dangerous places, while Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan and Yunnan have naturally become safe places and paradises.

This kind of flow of people and wealth is completely passive, so Wu Shaogang does not feel happy about this flow.

The outer city of Kaifeng has begun to take shape, and a large number of merchants, as well as the relocated gentry and wealthy households, choose to settle in the outer city, compared to the inner city, more people live in the inner city.

The imperial city in the palace city has always been empty, the governor of the palace, Shi Li Tingzhi, arranged a special person to be responsible for cleaning and repairing the imperial city, and the guards of the Wei palace also transferred some sergeants to guard the imperial city, but no one has begged His Royal Highness the King of Wei to move to the imperial city, and such sensitive matters will not even be mentioned by Li Tingzhi.

The Intelligence Agency also provided information about the city of Lin'an.

Thanks to the desperate resistance of the deputy envoy of Jinghu North Road and the governor of Ezhou, the Mongolian army led by Ah Shu was blocked in Ezhou, and the city of Lin'an was temporarily peaceful, but fear still enveloped the capital.

During this period, Jia Rudao wrote several letters to Wu Shaogang, and the tone was quite respectful, which was nothing more than a plea to His Royal Highness the King of Wei to send a large army to restrain the Mongol army attacking Ezhou.

What Wu Shaogang didn't expect was that the powerful people in the capital were even more greedy for pleasure, and they secretly sent their families to Henan and Sichuan and other places gradually, while squandering and enjoying themselves, as if they didn't enjoy themselves at this time, they would have no chance in the future.

A breath of decadence spread in the capital.

Wu Shaogang naturally ignored Jia Rudao, the moment the Mongol army captured Kaifeng Fucheng, it was the day when the Great Song Dynasty court fell, and it was also the time when Wu Shaogang was about to become emperor.

Wu Shaogang paid close attention to the battle situation in Ezhou.

Gundam is indeed a rare warrior in the Song Dynasty, but with far less strength than the Mongol army, withstood several attacks by the Mongol army, Puqi and other places to which Ezhou belongs, have fallen, and Gundam is only holding the city of Ezhou, but it is precisely because Gundam is sticking to the city of Ezhou that Ah Shu does not dare to act rashly.

Ah Shu did not dare to bypass Ezhou and directly attack Jiangnan Road, so Gundam, who was stationed in Ezhou, was likely to lead the Song army to attack from behind, and if the Mongol army encountered a flank attack from the front and back, the army dominated by the new annex army was likely to encounter defeat.

Therefore, Ah Shu ordered the army to capture the city of Ezhou, and then waved the Jiangnan Road.

Wu Shaogang didn't know how Gundam commanded the battle, why he was able to hold out for several months, he was still familiar with Gundam, Wu Shaogang at the beginning of the crossing, was once a subordinate of Gundam, and was once favored by Gundam, but unfortunately the two did not work together for a long time, and Wu Shaogang left soon.

At that time, Gundam had defeated the Mongolian army, and he was also one of the few Great Song generals who had defeated the Mongolian army.

However, Wu Shaogang knew that Gundam was ultimately a failure, and in the face of the Great Song Dynasty court, which had been completely corrupted, Gundam had no power to return to heaven, so he could only barely support it, waiting for the arrival of failure.

In October, Wu Shaogang ordered the Intelligence Bureau to focus on collecting information on the Ezhou side, followed by the information on the Dadu side, and as for the information in the direction of Lin'an Fucheng, we can not care about it.
