1273 was the first year of the Great Song Dynasty and the tenth year of the Mongol Dynasty. On May 14, Marshal Ashu, who was besieging Yangzhou, first lost the news of Gaoyou's grain collection troops. On 15 May, some people fled back from the two walled cities north of Yangzhou, saying that the Song army had broken through them. Marshal Ashu decisively ordered all the Mongol troops besieging Yangzhou to withdraw to the camp located east of Yangzhou.

Such a retreat order essentially announced that the siege of Yangzhou had been completely lifted, and Marshal Ashu, who had shrunk his forces, did not feel the slightest sign of relief from the pressure. The Song army pursued the retreating Mongol army. It was an army of about 10,000, and they didn't seem to care that the number of the Mongol army was about 20,000, and they were safely camped five miles away from the Mongol army.

Several Mongolian generals suggested stealing the camp, but Marshal Ah Shu felt that the Song army must have made preparations for battle, and if the camp was not successful, it would only cause unnecessary losses. At night, when the Mongol army began to sleep, a loud noise sounded near the Mongol barracks. Marshal Ah Shu recalled that Zhao Jiaren had used such a thing when he came to the aid of Xiangyang, and the loud sound frightened the horses of the Mongol cavalry.

Harassment was only harassment, and it had little effect on the experienced Mongol army. Early the next morning, the Song army came in formation. Marshal Ashu ordered to guard the camp, and he did not want to touch the money rashly without a chance to win.

This Song army completely ignored the defensive advantages of the Mongol army when it was defending the camp, and lined up the artillery and bombarded the Mongol barracks. That is, Marshal Ashu has a lot of experience, and he finally suppressed the chaos. It was determined that the Song army did not launch an attack, and the marshal only left a few scouts in the front of the camp, withdrew the large force to the rear, and gave the front of the camp to the Song army. The marshal knew that the Song army could make a lot of gunpowder, but the Song army's gunpowder was not infinite. Even if the gunpowder of the Song army was infinite, their shells would not be infinite.

I don't know if the Song army heard the marshal's heart, they didn't simply shell. As the large Kong Ming lantern slowly rose, the Song army above condescendingly took a look at the Mongolian army camp. Taking advantage of the lack of mobilization of the Mongol army, the Song army suddenly rushed forward and set fire to the front of the Mongol barracks.

At the head of the fire, the Song army first used artillery to shoot at the Mongolian army trying to put out the fire, and then Shi Shiran retreated back to the Song army camp.

That night, Marshal Ashu gritted his teeth and decided to send an army to attack the Song army at night. Although there are many historical theories that a dozen or dozens of horsemen can kick the enemy's large camp, there are very extreme conditions. If it weren't for the fact that there were too few examples of this kind of war, how could it be recorded in the history books. The 500 Mongol troops who attacked at night ended up in a very common fate, and suffered a heavy loss in front of the well-guarded Song army camp. The Mongol army that fled back was less than a hundred men.

The next day, the Song army came again. Seeing the artillery in front of the battle, Marshal Ah Shu hated it so much, but there was nothing he could do about it. Fortunately, before Song Jun could make a move, rain fell in the gloomy sky. The Song army did not insist in the rain, and they immediately chose to brave the rain to return. Looking at the back of the Song army in the rain, the thunderous Mongolian army seemed to have won a big victory. However, the rain has not stopped since it started, and the rainy season in Gangnam has begun.

The cold rain soaked everything that could, and the humidity in the air was supersaturated. Even if the Mongol army left Yangzhou in the rain and camped in Zhenjiang, south of the Yangtze River, these Mongol troops from the north felt very, very unaccustomed.

Withdrawing his troops from the vicinity of Yangzhou north of the Yangtze River to Zhenjiang south of the Yangtze River, Marshal Ashu was sullen when he watched it. Marshal Ashu once followed Kublai Khan to eliminate Dali, and the local humidity in Dali was no worse than the current Jiangnan. The marshal's depressed mood at this time was not because of dampness, he felt that the Song army he was facing seemed to be the former Mongol army, firm, swift, and unforgiving on the battlefield. Although he tried his best to turn the situation around, Marshal Ashu could not find the means to achieve immediate results. An indescribable sense of frustration haunted the marshal.

In the eyes of people from Jiangnan like Li Yun, the rainy season is far more than just the point of being unable to act. If you don't even go out during the rainy season every year, how will you live? After discussing in Yangzhou, everyone felt that the previous situation was so passive, entirely because there were not so many ships fighting in the Yangtze River after the evacuation from Jiaxing Mansion. Since the Mongol army had given up on conquering Yangzhou, the young man represented by Battalion Commander Li Yun wrote to the Privy Council, hoping that Captain Zhao would be able to send a naval army into the Yangtze River to fight.

Ten days later, the young people of Yangzhou received an urgent order to return north to Haizhou. Although they could go back by boat, the young men were still upset by the order. No matter how easy the rainy season is, it won't make everyone march in the rain. But the military order was like a mountain, and these people could only return in batches by transport ships in the canal according to the order.

Fortunately, there were enough transport ships, and there were not so many problems on the way back. Li Yun: They couldn't help but write a summary of the experience of using transport ships. Everyone happily returned to Haizhou and met Liu Meng, the appeasement envoy.

Liu Meng asked everyone to sit down, and then handed a document to Li Yun, "Come, read him to me." ”

"Yes!" Li Yun picked up the document and read it. After a few sentences, I couldn't read it anymore. This is a letter written by Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Taiwei to Liu Meng, the pacification envoy of Huaidong Road, and there are two things in the letter, the first thing is to ask him to send troops to capture Rizhao. The second thing is to ask him to reprimand these bastard boys who dare to report to the next level.

"Read!" Liu Meng couldn't help but drag his voice and said loudly: "Are you illiterate?" ”

Li Yun blushed and finished reading the paragraph where Zhao Jiaren asked Liu Meng to reprimand these bastard boys, and then lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

Liu Meng saw that these boys all lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything, so he felt that his method had worked, he leaned back in his chair and said in a condescending tone: "After I received the letter, I was thinking, how to reprimand you bastard boys." I can't figure it out. Therefore, I will ask you a few things: First, do you want to think together and work together in the war? Second, has there ever been a mention in the military that it is forbidden to skip the level of reporting? Come on, Li Yun, tell me about it. ”

The time after that was a painful thing for Li Yun and them, it didn't matter if these people were really beaten, mental torture was a more terrible thing than a beating. And Liu Meng has brought so many children, and his parents have rich experience. I must describe it, that is, my parents asked with a black face: XX, to be honest, what bad things have you done?

The frightened baby was confessed like a slow knife, so the things that the parents didn't know were also asked, and the punishment involuntarily increased.

Just when Liu Meng skillfully played this little trick and squeezed this group of hairy boys more and more painfully. Chen Zaixing, a member of the society next to him, coughed a few times. Hearing this, Liu Meng temporarily stopped the run, and saw Chen Zaixing blink slightly, signaling to pause first. So Liu Meng said: "Adjourn the meeting first, you can go to the toilet." ”

After speaking, Liu Meng and Chen Zaixing both went to the back. Chen Zaixing is Zhao Jiaren's cousin, and after Zhao Jiaren became a prisoner on Fujian Road, he went to Fuqing County to be the magistrate. At that time, because of all kinds of magical officialdom behaviors, he was considered incorrigible by Zhao Jiaren.

Later, Chen Zaixing's cousin Chen never compromised in the face of the rebellion of the Tianfang Sect instigated by Pu Shougeng, and he always insisted on it even if the county seat was besieged, and Zhao Jiaren felt that his cousin was not useless. After being re-elected, Zhao Jiaren found out that his cousin was a Jinshi from Fujian, and he had a kind of unconvinced young master mentality when facing officialdom. But he is also uncompromising in his basic philosophy, and belongs to the type with a firm stance and strong fighting spirit.

After President Lin'an surrendered, Chen Zaixing's cousin's house did not return, and came directly to Fujian. It was quickly approved and was called a member of the Society. Now his position is the governor of Haizhou, and in fact, like other members of the society, he is in charge of ideological work.

Back to the back account, Liu Meng asked, "What's wrong?" What are the unstable thoughts that stump these hairy boys? ”

Since it is a state of war and the current situation, the ideological work of the society is to enable everyone to establish the concept of a modern nation-state, be absolutely loyal to the motherland, and unswervingly resist external aggression. Since Chen Zaixing signaled to interrupt, Liu Meng had to consider whether there was something wrong with those hairy boys.

Chen Zaixing replied with a straight face: "When the Taiwei gave us a lecture, he said that criticism is criticism, don't make things difficult. The criticism is aimed at the matter itself, and if the commander has a completely different view of the matter, we can change people. Trouble will be perceived by those commanders as we are targeting them personally, and public affairs are one thing, and private affairs are another. Now that they know they're wrong, I don't think the latter words are helpful. ”

Liu Meng was not happy after hearing this, he was originally criticizing others, why did he suddenly become Liu Meng being criticized. However, Liu Meng is a member of the society, and he knows the reason why Zhao Jiaren established the society. Zhao Jiaren said very clearly that the school is for everyone to learn the same knowledge. The society is to let everyone have the same basic ideas. Therefore, those dolls must go to school, and those who have a future and are recognized have the opportunity to become members of the society.

Since Chen Zaixing is in charge of thinking, Liu Meng can only discuss with Chen Zaixing, Liu Meng asked: "I don't know what you mean by making trouble?" ”

Looking at Liu Meng's expression, all kinds of negative memories he received from his elders when he was a child, teenager, and young flashed in Chen Zaixing's mind, he sighed softly, and said with a mood of resisting these things: "To make trouble is not to let the matter end, and it becomes completely irrelevant to the scope of the matter itself. When it ends depends on your likes and dislikes. Regarding criticism, I think Liu Anming has done a good job. Let the boys understand what they did wrong as quickly as possible. But they don't understand the truth at all. They just know that if you're upset, they don't want to feel good. ”
