Chapter 494: Actor Kublai Khan has 250 votes and a change
In the city of Weihui Road, there was a panicked scene. How many people flocked to the city gates, crying and shouting to leave the city. However, they were all blocked by the Mongol warriors guarding the four gates and could not escape.
But the people who were blocked did not give up, and rushed to the other gates, only to collide with the crowds that were pouring in from the other gates. As soon as the crowd rushed, relatives scattered, many people fell to the ground, trampled on each other, and heart-rending cries rang out.
They were originally ordered by the Great Yuan court. From Xinxiang, Huojia, and Yucheng, the three counties of Weihui Road gathered in Lucheng Ji County, in order to collectively move to Henan to resettle in order to avoid the Chen thief and violent army who were about to go south.
The Mongols have been ruling in Weihui for decades, and they all recognize this master, knowing that the Mongols rule the country by military law, and they can only obey and not reverse, otherwise they will have to be slaughtered.
So the people of Wei Hui's counties were all under the leadership of the county officials and gathered in Ji County according to the order. Along the way, the poor helped the old and the young to come on foot, carrying a pitiful little soft and hastily prepared dry food. The big families were chariot and horse servants, hugging from front to back, with gold and silver treasures, as well as Ding Zhuang, who was guarding the house, and with knives, spears, bows and arrows, they swept to the location of Weihui Road City.
Since Weihui is a road, of course, the number of households is more than 10,000, plus the seven or eight thousand households from Zhangde Road in the north (even the Mongols have no way to gather all the households), and the wide county town, which was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, has also become crowded, like a canned sardine.
However, the current chaos has nothing to do with crowding, but because of the order just issued by the Great Yuan Imperial Court - all Han people in Weihui City will be reduced to slaves from now on. Distributed to the Mongol warriors, the Han Chinese property also belonged to their masters! Those who dare to resist. No mercy!
A single order turned more than 100,000 people from "free" people into slavery. And also to the brutal Mongol warriors! As soon as this news came out, Weihui Road City, which was crowded with more than 100,000 people, was suddenly in chaos.
The first thing that all thought of was to flee, but the Mongols had been planning for a long time. The four gates of Weihui Road City were guarded by Mongolian armor. On the city wall, it is also densely covered with neatly draped Mongolian generals, all with swords and bows in their hands. As long as Kublai Khan gave an order, he could slaughter all the people in the city!
After discovering that he was already a caged bird and couldn't get out. And the people of the city were left to mourn. The poor people who help the old and the young are crying. The heads of the families of the large families sitting in the carriage also began to weep. In the end, in the sky above Weihui Road City, there were all the cries of the people who didn't know what they had done wrong, and who had ended up like this!
At this time, these people, who had been obedient people for decades under the rule of the Great Mongols, really realized that they were simply a group of lambs to the slaughter, and they had always been slaves......
And somewhere on the city wall of Weihui Road City, the Mongol Great Khan Kublai Khan was taking a few henchmen with him. Including Zhao Bi and Zhang Wenqian, who have been following him out of battle, as well as Yao Shu and Liu Bingzhong, who have just arrived from Jingzhao Mansion, and a great Confucian of the Wuer clan, the newly baked Henan Provincial Prime Minister Lian Xixian. There is also a Jurchen Confucian Zhao Liangbi (whose surname is Shuyao Jia) who has just taken over as the prime minister of Hebei Province.
Seeing this city crying bitterly, the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan was also a little sad, and sighed softly: "Why are these Han people crying? ”
"Because they are all slaves of the country!"
Kublai Khan turned his head. looked at the person who spoke, it turned out to be the fearful Confucian Lian Xixian. One eye is sunken and the bridge of the nose is high. The bearded man's face, with fair skin and deep beard, was full of unbearable expressions. Look at the four Han people and one Jurchen, all of them are expressionless, and they seem to be indifferent to the suffering of the people in the city.
Kublai Khan nodded, his face was also unbearable, and he said: "I can't bear to be like this, why don't you go against the Ming and the war is difficult, if you don't reward the warriors with the blood of the people of Wei Hui City, this Ming will succeed in Middle-earth, and millions of people in Middle-earth will become its slaves, and life is better than death!" ”
"The emperor is benevolent!"
"The emperor is really a benevolent monarch!"
Four Han Chinese and one Jurchen celebrated consecutive victories.
Lian Xixian sighed and said, "Great Khan...... They are all slaves of the country, and they can survive to this day, which is already a great Mongolian benevolence. Now that Great Mongolia is in trouble, it is natural to borrow them to reward the generals. But paper can't contain the fire after all, and Henan is afraid that it will not be easy to appease. ”
Kublai Khan waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, as long as my scimitar is still sharp, as long as it is difficult to transfer troops to the south for a while, I have a way!" What if it's not easy to appease? Just make an example...... I have made up my mind, and after the army triumphs in Henan, I will use troops on Shuntian Road and Gongchang Road! ”
When it came to using troops against Shuntian Road and Gongchang Road, Kublai Khan's tone was already cold. Shuntian Road is Zhang Rou's territory, and now Zhang Rou is leading troops in Shanxi, but several of his sons and families are in Bozhou City on Shuntian Road. Wuliang Hetai sent a team of 10,000 people to monitor Bozhou, in fact, it was to surround them. In addition, according to the report of Wuliang Hetai, after several of Shi Tianze's sons and nephews withdrew from Bianliang City, they also went to Bozhou to join forces with Zhang Hongluo (the envoy of Shuntian Road Jiedu who stayed in Bozhou).
This Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou are probably the third and fourth hated guys of Kublai Khan (the first hate, of course, is Chen Dexing, and the second hate, of course, is Li Pu), if there were no two of them to help Pu abuse, Shanxi would not have been lost, the battle of Taiyuan would not have been lost, and the Mongol form in the Central Plains would not be as sinister as it is now.
As for Gongchang Road, of course, it is Wang Dechen's (Wang Tiange)'s territory, Kublai Khan and Wang Tiange don't have much resentment, but the location of Gongchang Road is not good, just like a sharp knife against the back of Jingzhao Mansion. If the Gongchang Wang family is not destroyed, not only will Jingzhao Mansion be unstable, but even the road of Mongolia's withdrawal from the Central Plains will always be under the threat of the Wang family!
In addition, Kublai Khan chose these two places to use troops for another purpose, that is, to show his ability to use troops. The Battle of Hebei, although claimed to be a victory, suffered heavy casualties after all, and lost a lot of territory. Now relying on the sacking of the Great Mongolia's own subjects to slap the swollen face and rush the fat man, pretending to win a big victory, in fact, he is lying to himself!
If you want to really fight the momentum of the Great Mongolia again, you need several real victories.
But before these two real victories, Kublai Khan needed a triumphal ceremony to boost morale and bluff.
This is also the reason why he is now plundering the only two and a half Hebei territories in Dayuan. Only by taking away one of the Han Chinese on these two and a half roads can Kublai Khan's 50,000 Mongol generals (50,000 of the 120,000 troops now remain) look like victors...... At least by the standards of robbers, like a victor who has come from a plunder.
On the fifteenth day of the first month of the second year of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the former capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and now inside and outside the north gate of Bianliang City in Tokyo, tens of thousands of Li people have gathered - tens of thousands of people are already the upper limit of the current population of Bianliang!
Bianliang City, which used to have a population of more than one million, once had a population of more than one million in the late Jin Dynasty because of the gathering of Han and Jurchen exiles from the north. And now there are only tens of thousands left, which is the result of decades of recruiting displaced people and developing production! When the Southern Song Dynasty entered Luo, the population of Bianliang was only a dozen households!
And in this military disaster, in Yunnan, Wuliang Hetai, which was famous for killing people like hemp, finally did not slaughter the city - this is Kublai Khan's order, Bianliang City is Kublai Khan's planning of the Great Yuan Tokyo, and it is also the base camp of the Northern Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, today, this Bianliang City can gather tens of thousands of people to welcome the triumphant division of Dayuan!
The news of triumph came to Bianliang as early as 12 o'clock last year. First learned from the Song State to make a Lubu Feijie, and then the new Henan Provincial Prime Minister Lian Xixian posted notices everywhere to publicize the great martial arts achieved by the Mongolian army in Hebei! He also sent a large number of officials and officials to arrest the demon demons who spread rumors of the defeat of the Mongols.
In addition, Lian Xixian also organized Ding Zhuang in Bianliang City, and worked for nearly 20 days to renovate Tongtianmen, Beiyu Street, and Bianliang Palace City. Also outside the Tongtian Gate set up a painted archway and a ten-mile long pavilion. After the New Year of the second year of the Central Unification, the heads of the great clans in the territory of Henan Province controlled by the Mongols were invited to Bianliang, so that they could see with their own eyes how mighty the triumphant army of the Great Yuan was.
In addition, the news of the triumphant return of the Mongol Great Khan to Bianliang on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was released as early as the end of December. Subsequently, Lian Xixian was ordered by Kublai Khan to deliberately relax the inventory of the various intersections entering Bianliang, so that many spies from Henan Haoqiang and Southern Dynasty feudal towns mixed into Bianliang City.
Among the crowds welcoming today, many of them are meticulous works sent from all sides - the battle of Hebei is a major event that has attracted the attention of the whole world!
The sun gradually rose, and there were constantly brightly clad Mongolian legends riding over, and the knights on the horses shouted from afar: "His Majesty the Emperor Xue Khan is coming triumphantly, and the idle people are waiting to kneel and greet ......."
After a few waves of such a legend, no one was still standing in the Han people inside and outside the Tongtian Gate, and they all bowed to the ground, but the big guy's neck was still stretched out, and they all wanted to see with their own eyes what the Mongolian heavenly soldiers who broke the Ming rebellion in Hebei, defeated the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, and played a triumphant song all the way from the north of Yanshan and finally crossed the Yellow River in victory.
But what they didn't expect was that after following these Mongolian horsemen, there were countless Han Ding Zhuang, ragged and tied with ropes! Moreover, most of these Ding Zhuang, dressed in red and yellow coats, trembling under the whip scimitars of the high-spirited Mongolian armorers, lined up in a torrent-like procession, slowly advancing......
There are also loud Mongolian generals shouting in Chinese: "This is the soldiers of the Ming Rebellion and the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty, they have all called us to be captured by the Great Mongolia!" (To be continued......)
