"If Chen Dexing abandons the people and only flees north with the army, is there a way to keep him?"

This night was naturally a sleepless night for Kublai Khan. The biggest and most dangerous opponent in his life is not far from the town of Liujia. And it was surrounded by a 54,000-strong Mongol army under his command.

However, this encirclement was really reluctant, and it could not prevent Chen Dexing from breaking through, but could only delay his actions.

In a small tent, Kublai Khan and a few henchmen were whispering in front of a sheepskin map.

"There is a way, it seems that it is not easy to set up the thief's big gun in the movement, and without the big gun, the combat power of the thief army must at least be discounted. Moreover, the infantry is going to fight and open up, and it is not easy to exert their combat power on the march, if there are tens of thousands of cavalry staring day and night, it is estimated that they will not dare to move. ”

Brother Tou had some experience in fighting with the Northern Ming army, so he was the first to answer Kublai Khan's question. "And we also carry a lot of three-bow crossbows and heavenly thunder arrows, which can be used to arrange on the official road to block the path of the thieves. If you really can't do it, fill it with human life! If you can kill the thief, it will be worth ...... number of deaths."

"Yes, as long as you can beat the thief to death, then it's worth everything!"

"In addition, we can also destroy roads and bridges along the way. The thief's big gun and carriage have to cross the wooden and stone bridge on the official road, but it is not as good as our war horses to go anywhere. ”

"You can also catch some one-money men to collide with the battle, anyway, these one-money men will eventually be killed, and before they die, they will make some efforts for the Great Mongolia, and it will not be in vain for the benevolence of the Great Mongolia for decades."

When a few people were discussing, there was a faint sound of loud shouts outside, and there were countless people singing loudly.

"Ninety-nine with a steel knife, kill all Hu'er before stopping. I'm a man. What is a Tartar for horses and oxen? The strong man drank the wine in the bowl and did not look back on the journey of a thousand miles. The golden drums roared in unison. Don't break the Yellow Dragon's vows......"

Kublai Khan frowned, what kind of trouble is this? He didn't have the heart to talk about it anymore. Standing up and going out of the big tent, his tent was already set up on a high place, and he could see the Liujia market town from a distance. I saw countless torches shining and shaking there, as if tens of thousands of people had gathered in the middle.

What's going on? If you don't sleep at night, what are you doing?

……

What's the fuss? Of course, it is a feudal superstitious activity that is not up to grade, does not become a climate, and does not reach the hall of elegance!

Chen Dexing, who has not been a god for a long time, is now inciting the people in the name of the leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect. All the people gathered in Liujiaji Town were gathered in the wilderness south of the town, and everyone held a lit incense stick and stood on the wilderness and sang "Ninety-nine with a steel knife". In fact, you can't rap, it's just howling. The steel-armored warriors of the Northern Ming Army surrounded them set up a wooden platform in front of them, and a huge tablet was offered on the platform, on which the sun and moon emblems were painted in vermilion, and under the sun and moon were four words - Taitian Dao.

According to the religious outlook of Westerners, Tiandaoism does not engage in idolatry, there is no statue of gods, and the statue of Mingzun that was originally worshiped by Mingjiao is now gone. It's just a tablet. There are four words on it, "Tai Tian Dao" marked by the sun and the moon.

As for the scriptures, they are not complicated, they are less than 10,000 words of the "Taiyi Illumination Sutra", as for the "Scientific Method" and "Positivism", which are scientific truths that pursue the truth of the universe. That's not for the public. At this time, most of them are illiterate, and they don't need too complicated truths and scriptures, and often the simpler and more superstitious, the more marketable.

For example, the teachings of the Faxiang sect pioneered by Tang Seng who learned scriptures from the west are very profound. As a result, Wu Zetian's era has declined. On the contrary, the White Lotus Sect, which has no reason other than superstition and fallacies to confuse the public, has flourished in China for a long time, and was the most effective sect in the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Not one of them! Even the invincible Great Yuan Empire was overthrown by them, and the Manchu Dynasty was also tossed half dead by a great uprising of the White Lotus Sect.

And the one who can only recite "Nam no Amitabha". Japan's Pure Land Shinshu, considered by Chinese Buddhists to be "deviating from the Buddhist scriptures, i.e., the doctrine of the same demons," is certainly one of the Buddhist sects with the largest number of followers in the world.

It replaces the Heavenly Taoism that combines the White Lotus Sect and the Ming Sect. Because there were no complicated and difficult doctrines, and because they propagated the fallacies and heresies of what light would defeat darkness and what science would build a kingdom of heaven on earth, it just catered to the psychological needs of the people in the north who were under the war and the Mongol oppression, and because they had a strict religious organization, and they really established a "bright country" in Liaodong, so they developed well in the northern Han land. Basically, he took over the plate of Mingjiao, and unified the various branches of Mingjiao, which were originally broken into a plate of scattered sand, and formed a huge underground sect!

Now, it is time for Chen Dexing, the sect leader, to use the power of the Heavenly Taoism in the northern Han land to let go and mobilize the people!

Chen Dexing, who was standing next to the tablet of "Taitian Dao", slowly raised his hand, his face was solemn, and he actually showed a sacred brilliance under the reflection of the butter torch.

The people below who were organized by the backbone of the Heavenly Dao Sect immediately quieted down, and they all looked at Chen Dexing, the living god on the stage, with expressions of pious or panic. Tiandao or Mingjiao is widely spread among the people of Hebei, and the legend of the birth of King Ming has not been passed down for many generations. So everyone knows who Chen Dexing is? I also know what kind of big things he wants to do.

Chen Dexing's gaze slowly and slowly swept over the dense crowd under the high platform, including men and women, old and young, strong and thin. All kinds of people are ordinary Chinese, hardworking and brave, but they are scattered sand, and even a barbarian race with a few tenths or even a few hundredths of their number can ride on their heads as a blessing.

But whoever can organize, unite, and mobilize them will be enough to shake the whole world!

What Chen Dexing needs to do now is to organize, unite, and mobilize these Han people who are scattered into a plate of sand...... Not only the tens of thousands of Han people in front of them, but also the entire Yanyun, and even the entire Han people in Hebei!

“…… It's been a long time...... It's been 136 years, and it's been 136 years since the land of the Han family, which has been thriving for thousands of years under our feet, has fallen to the Tartar iron hoof! But we finally see the day of recovery! It was not the Song Kingdom in the south that had no ambition to fight back, but the lone king and the warriors of the Ming Dynasty went to Liaodong to create the country of light, and personally broke through the 100,000 heroes into Yan, and recovered the land of Yanyun that had been lost under the iron hooves of Hulu for more than 300 years in one fell swoop! However, the Tatars were not willing to quit the unseemly Han land that they had ravaged.

They...... is still struggling, still delusional to continue to oppress the Han people in the world as cattle and horses, still delusional about being the masters of the Han people for generations to come, and still delusional about us Han people as the most despicable race in the world! Are you willing to go to war with King Lone, kill my Han family's enemies, and avenge my Han family's blood feud for decades of being oppressed and slaughtered by the Mongols? ”

"Yes!"

"Swear to follow King Ming to the death!"

"I wish to follow the king of Ming to punish Hu Lu!"

The backbone of the Heavenly Dao Sect first shouted in response, then the ordinary believers of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and then the thieves were ordinary Han people who did not believe in the Heavenly Dao Sect. Those who will retreat all the way to Liujiaji Town are Han Chinese who are unwilling to be cattle and horses for the Mongols. Now besieged here by the Mongols, what else to say? It's nothing more than fighting!

And it's not impossible to fight! They all saw the battle during the day today, and the Mongols couldn't beat the steel armor of King Ming at all! 1,000 steel-armored soldiers chased 4,000 Mongols to fight......

Chen Dexing laughed three times: "Okay! Good! Good! The boy of my Han family is like this! Today, the kings fight with the lonely king, and the lonely king should also regard the kings as my Ming soldiers, meritorious servicers, and those who go to war are rewarded, and those who want to join the army after the war will be given 150 acres of land, all of which are the same as the Ming soldiers! Make meritorious contributions and seal your wife and son, it is the coming day! ”

……

Kublai Khan held up the binoculars and watched from afar the noisy scene of tens of thousands of people gathering in Liujiaji Town. Seeing this scene, his first reaction was that Chen Dexing was bewitching the Han people to make trouble, such a thing seemed to have happened in the Lin'an Rebellion, and now it has finally happened again!

But so what? There are at most more than 50,000 refugees in Liujiaji Town, and 10,000 fighters have been mobilized. If there were 10,000 more steel-armored soldiers, it would be a big trouble, but how much combat power does this newly enlisted rabble have?

And the appearance of this scene also proves one point from the side - Chen Dexing is in Liujiaji Town! The Great Mongols have besieged Chen Dexing! This was the perfect opportunity for the Great Mongols to defeat the momentum of the rise of the Han Chinese and re-establish their rule in the Central Plains.

As long as Chen Dexing dies, how much strength can thieves like Li Pu and Shi Tianze have?

He tried his best to stabilize his feelings, and ordered one after another, and the Mongol cavalry around Liujiaji Town immediately assembled and retreated. Of course, it is not to let Chen Dexing go, but to change the siege to surveillance. Still blocking the road for Chen Dexing's retreat to the north. The 50,000 households that were originally arranged on all sides are now all transferred to the north of Liujia Market Town, and they are spread out in the wilderness. Don't ask for any decisive battle, just watch Chen Dexing's brigade and don't let them advance quickly. At the same time, he sent horse teams to destroy roads and bridges on the way north, and to attack and burn villages and towns that might provide food and grass supplies to Chen Dexing.

It is more than 100 miles from this Liujia market town to Baoding Road City, and it is more than 400 miles to Yanjing. It is an ordinary infantry march, and it will not be possible to reach Yanjing in ten days. Now Chen Dexing is still with tens of thousands of people, and the Mongolian army is hindering and delaying along the way, I am afraid that he will not want to go to Yanjing for a month.

Kublai Khan didn't believe that Chen Dexing had enough grain and grass in his hands to feed tens of thousands of horses for a month. As long as you drag Chen Dexing to run out of food, no matter how many steel armor and bronze cannons you have, you will have to be a prisoner of the Great Mongolia! (To be continued......)
