But his understanding of the Southern Dynasty is much deeper than that of Möngke, and now the Southern Dynasty is excited, and the morale of the army and the people is very high, if it really does not distinguish between the good and the bad, and all of them respond to the massacre, it will inevitably cause the desperate resistance of the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Dynasty, not only many casualties, but also greatly disadvantageous to the subsequent rule of the Mongol Empire.

But the most fundamental thing is that such undisguised barbarism will shatter the dream of three generations that he has woven for decades. Hao Jing's life's efforts were to guide the Mongolian savages to turn Hu into Han, preach and educate the Mongols who were at the peak of martial arts, and let them become the promoters of the words of the sages, and complete the goal of the rule of the three generations of Confucianism in successive dynasties with the hands of foreign races. For the sake of this ideal, he could convince himself that the murder of the Mongols in the Central Plains was only the cost paid by each Shengming monarch when establishing a dynasty, and he could convince himself that the enclosure of the Mongol nobles in the Central Plains and the captivity of the Han people were driven because they came from the wilderness and had not yet received the influence of the saints.

However, the Mongols occupied the Central Plains for so many years, and even the deceased Guiyou Great Khan issued edicts to simplify the government and love the people, and Kublai Khan emphasized the importance of encircling scholars and implementing the policy of reassuring the people on various occasions. If at this time, the new lord once again picked up the old way of slaughtering the city without surrendering to the Mongols, not only would it be difficult for him to explain to the scholars in the north, but also completely shatter the ideal of turning Hu Barbarian into Yao Shun and blocking the world.

He couldn't stand up and speak out, Hao Jing immediately went out of the class and said: "The Southern Dynasty does not accept the king's transformation and should be punished, but the people of the Southern Dynasty are innocent, and the Great Khan should be as sympathetic as possible to the people of Li in order to win the hearts of the people of the Southern Dynasty." ”

Meng Ge was furious, and he was about to hit Hao Jing with a whip, paused, forcibly held back his anger, and shouted: "The people of Sinan Si have always been cunning and fierce, and the Mongolian warriors don't know how many they have killed, let them know the horror, and know that as long as a Mongol dies anywhere, all the residents will have to pay for it!" The prestige of the Great Khan of Mongolia should be known and feared by all the men of the Southern Dynasty above the axle! ”

Hao Jing knew that confronting Meng Ge Khan head-on at this time would only make the situation worse and worse, so he turned to say: "Although the Southern Dynasty has lost Xiangyang, the Great Khan cannot be underestimated, the minister has an eyeliner in the south, Zheng Yunming trained a new army during the reign of the Southern Dynasty, and used it as the Praetorian Guard of the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty. ”

Meng Ge laughed and said, "Do you think that you are the only one who has eyes and ears in the south, Niu Huo, you come to uncover the skin of this Southern Dynasty Emperor's cowardly Xue, so that Hao Jing can understand what kind of people this Zheng Yunming's so-called Praetorian Guard is composed of."

Marshal Niu Phosphorus responded and said: "Among the various roads in the Southern Dynasties, the Huxiang people are the most fierce and brave, followed by the residents of Lianghuai and Jinghu. And the most weak and cowardly are the children of Jiangnan, I heard that such a man, a warrior of the Hongji tribe can fight a hundred. ”

As soon as he said this, the generals from the Mongolian department burst into laughter, the consensus of Mobei, although the beauty of the Hongji tribe is unparalleled in the world, but its men are cowardly and avoid war, it is also unparalleled in the world, fortunately, the patriarchs of the Hongji tribe often pursue the diplomatic strategy of the Qin and Twilight Chu, and use the numerical advantage of Hongji to swing among the heroes of Mobei, but the unbearable battle of Hongji soldiers is also a well-known fact in Mobei.

Immediately, someone laughed loudly: "New phosphorus! This is too exaggerated, the man of Hongjira can fight a hundred, and he is a rabbit on the grassland. ”

"I'm not joking, the men of Jiangnan may be weaker than the Mongols expected, I have heard that they are arrogant and lascivious, and they usually wear clothes made of brocade, dishes made of the finest porcelain, and eat delicious delicacies." Their most famous is always carrying Lin'an's famous caramel in their bags, according to them, without this kind of caramel they will have trouble sleeping, because of this problem, even the residents of Lin'an disdain to call them caramel seeds, think about it, such a Jiangnan soldier who grows in honey, a warrior of Hongjira really can't fight a hundred? ”

What kind of combat effectiveness will people who grew up in a privileged environment, the Mongols used to only vaguely feel from the enemy, but recently they have gradually experienced, and the second generation of soldiers who were stationed in the rich agricultural areas under the orders of the Great Khan has gradually grown up, and the fighting will expressed by these people in a superior living environment is simply unbelievable to their brave fathers, and when conquering Tibet, Kublai Khan ordered the Mongol soldiers in Henan to go out with the army, Many of the young Mongol warriors who had already been incorporated into the army even pretended to be sick and wanted to escape the war, and Kublai Khan was often attacked by the Wubarian and Baibarian tribes in Yunnan, and he also sent these soldiers to the expedition, but they were always satisfied with crushing the enemy on flat ground, and as long as the enemy retreated into the valley and went a little deeper, they shirked the blockage and refused to advance.

This is only a generation, and the fierce and brave warriors have fallen to this point, and it is conceivable how much actual combat power these Jiangnan people who grew up from the rich land will have, maybe just sending an arrow from a distance is enough to make them panic and flee. The premise of a good soldier is a good man who is strong and resolute, if this person is cowardly and unbearable from the root, even if Zheng Yunming comes to train in person, it is impossible to become a hundred battles of heroes.

"You all know that, right?" Meng Ge laughed and said: "The key to the Southern Dynasty is only in Jinghu, eliminate the remnants of Jinghu's troops, and go straight down the river to the south of the Yangtze River, my warriors and good horses will not lose to those young people who can't survive without a few pieces of caramel candy, we must burn the war all the way to the far south, and let the warm waters of the South China Sea wash away the cowhide boots of the Mongolian warriors!" ”

When Wei Sheng, the commander of Ezhou, who was urgently appointed by the imperial court, led 5,000 vanguard troops into Ezhou City, he and Ezhou Zhizhou and Hubei Road appeased Chen Guang the most, what worried Chen Guang the most was how much actual combat power this brand-new team under Zheng Yunming had.

"Weapons and training are all in the back, and the army bears the brunt of the contest of wills!" It is no wonder that Wei Sheng has made such a big statement, in the past ten years, the Wei family army has won many battles with inferior ordnance supplies and short training, relying on the strong will of the generals who are not afraid of death and the soldiers stand on a solid foundation, and it is no wonder that he looks down on Zheng Yunming's Jiangnan New Army so much: "How can these yellow-mouthed children with caramel in their mouths be recruited as soldiers!" I'm afraid that once they ask about the smell of blood and gunsmoke, they will suddenly have and urine! Xianggong doesn't know how to think about it, if he wants to fight, he can only rely on Han Ruizhi and Liu Quan, how can he rely on those rich and gentle children in the township? ”

Chen Photovoltaic, in front of the map, said without raising his eyelids: "I don't believe in those sugars, I believe in Xianggong himself." ”

If it is an ordinary person, it is difficult to refute after Chen Guang said such a sentence, Zheng Yunming's three words have been invincible for ten years, representing invincibility, solid and all kinds of different surprises, although the children of Jiangnan are unbearable, but who knows what kind of magic weapon Zheng Xianggong will take out from his treasure bag this time?

But this rhetoric is a little shallow to deal with Wei Sheng, Wei Dutong is rolled out of thousands of sword soldiers, no matter what, he will not worship Zheng Yunming like a small soldier, he pushed the map in front of him, and said dissatisfiedly: "What is the use of saying this kind of words to the generals who fought with real swords and real guns on the battlefield, Zheng Xianggong is not a god after all, if he comes to command the children of the border area, whether it is Jinghu, Sichuan or Lianghuai, everyone has been on the battlefield for a long time, and is it a powerful chess piece in his hands, as for the group of gentlemen in Jiangnan?"

Chen Guang raised his head and asked in a contemptuous tone that made Wei Sheng quite annoyed, "Wei Dutong said so many side words, isn't he afraid. ”

Wei Sheng was furious, stood up and shouted: "That is, your Chen Guang's friendship with me, saying this sentence can avoid a good fight, Wei has fought with the Mongols for more than ten years, how many souls are sent to the Immortal Heaven by his subordinates, others can't count it, can you still count it?" I heard that now the territory of Mongolia has extended to the west for 10,000 miles, and now the Tartar Khan has eaten hard, and everyone in this 10,000 miles of land hears my name, and the child does not dare to cry at night! How far are the Mongols from Ezhou? ”

Chen Guangzheng said: "Ren Xiongwei of Yingzhou is now surrounded by the Mongolian army like an iron bucket, and the vanguard of the Mongols is no more than two hundred miles away from Ezhou, and when Meng Ge's army arrives, it can reach the city of Ezhou in one day and night." ”

"Exactly!" Wei Shengxi said: "Tomorrow, you can guard the city, and I will take the army and horses to Yingzhou to say hello to the Mongols, so that they can know that the Wei capital who died in the war has arrived!" ”

Chen Guang did not say anything against it, he knew Wei Sheng's temperament very well, and the nine cows could not pull back the things he decided, unless Zheng Yunming was here to suppress him. What's more, he doesn't think it's a bad thing to let go and attack the morale of the Mongol army at this time, if it is said that who is the most suitable to take the lead, bravely enter the enemy formation, and give the enemy a dismount, then the most suitable candidate is Wei Sheng.

At this time, outside the city of Yingzhou, there were already thirty or forty thousand horses gathered. Coming to besiege the city not only from Henan from the ten thousand households of Jin Zhicheng, but also from Longnan from the Gongchang governor of Wanhu Wang Liangchen, as well as the Xiangyang garrison Lu Wenhuan's troops, Lu Wenhuan's headquarters of soldiers and horses are in accordance with Jia Yidao's method, according to the relationship between the clan and the clan recruited, the loyalty to the generals is far higher than the loyalty to the country, once put into the Mongolian army, to deal with the past colleagues to be merciless, but after Jia Xianggong took power, in order to strengthen the defense of Xiangyang, The weapons of the defenders of Xiangyang have been specially enhanced. In this way, Lu Wenhuan will have as many as dozens of heavy mortar cannons to bombard the small city of Yingzhou.
