On the tenth day of the sixth month of the Song calendar, the rainy season ended. Under the bright summer sunshine, Haizhou City on Huaidong Road opened a troop. This Song army had as many as 30 battalions, and they went straight to Rizhao County, which was not far from Haizhou. For a small county town like Rizhao with only earthen walls, the siege is really lackluster. No artillery was even used, and the defenders of the county town were completely suppressed by relying on muskets, trolls, and gunpowder canisters alone.

As soon as the Song army entered the city, they immediately rushed to several residences in the city according to the information they had gathered before. It didn't take long for the whole family of the magistrate, the whole family of all kinds of errands, and the defenders who defended the city, men, women, and children were all dragged out of the city.

The battalions lined up, and Chen Zaixing took the stage and made a speech, "Commanders and fighters, today we are going to shoot all these people. I think everyone wonders, why not slaughter the city instead of shooting like this? Before this trip, we showed everyone the map, our land in China is not only now, the northern border of our land is further north, all the way to the north, until the North Pole. The western border of our land was farther west than it is now, crossing Shaanxi, crossing the Western Regions Protectorate, crossing the Green Mountains, crossing the Ural Mountains, and reaching the Volga River. That's where our ancestors were, that's where our ancestors once owned. The land of our ancestors has been taken away, and we, the descendants, will take back the land piece by piece! ”

Pointing to Rizhao City, Chen Zaixing's words were heard by the whole army through those loud voices, "The people in the city are Han people, they have been ruled by foreign races for a hundred years, and they have various opinions on the Great Song Dynasty, and we can't blame them." It was the failure of the Great Song Dynasty to hold the land that made the people fall into the hands of foreign races. We can't massacre the Han Chinese. ”

Pointing to the guys who were dragged out, Chen Zaixing said sharply: "These people are Tartars, they are of different races, and they are lackeys of different races. If we get a stab with bacteria in our arm, it will be red and swollen, it will become inflamed, and it will suppurate. These people in front of us are like those bacterial thorns, they are the ones who turn us against each other, they are the ones who turn our loved ones into enemies on the battlefield. Han Chinese are brothers, brothers and sisters. We can't cut off our hands and feet, what we need to do is to pull out these stingers and squeeze out the pus. After they are gone, our brothers will be one again! What should we do with these people? ”

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" Shouts rang out in the military formation.

Although the southern accent is quite different from the northern accent, the simple pronunciation, especially the expression of the army, makes the legs of these Mongolian pillars of power in Rizhao tremble.

The execution was carried out quickly, and Chen Zaixing felt that shooting seemed to be more aesthetic and less violent than cutting off the head. Even so, everyone's emotions were very emotional. Seeing the shooting, Chen Zaixing was also a little excited. As soon as he thought of the calm calculations behind the shooting, he regained his composure.

Whether it is Mongolia or the Great Song Dynasty, or the dynasties. The state's control over the localities depends on officials, officials, and the military. That is, the group that was shot in front of them. After getting rid of them, the Mongol court was still there, Rizhao was also there, and the Mongol court's rule over Rizhao was gone.

Clearing the Mongol forces in Rizhao, the Song army continued to move north without stopping, dividing its troops to kill the cities of Yanzhou.

Kublai Khan, the Mongol Khan in Dadu, began to receive news of this on June 20. On that day, the court was discussing whether to order Boyan's entire army to go south and annihilate the remnants of the Song State in Lingnan. Just when the discussion was lively, someone sent the news of Shandong Province.

Seeing the Song army wreaking havoc in Shandong Province. The Khan's first feeling was, 'It's not a big deal.'" In the rebellion of Li Pu, the Song army took the opportunity to launch an attack on Mongolia, and at that time, Zhao Jiaren also captured Zhigu Village for a time. For Kublai Khan, who had been through many battles, the outbreak of war was commonplace.

But on second thought, Kublai Khan felt that this way of thinking was wrong. The last time the Song army attacked Shandong was ten years ago, and it only dared to take advantage of the internal chaos in Mongolia caused by Li Pu's rebellion. Now it has been almost a year since the surrender of the Lin'an Imperial Court, and the remnants of the Song army are shrinking in Lingnan. Why did the Song army of the Northern Expedition to Shandong suddenly appear?

The ministers also felt that this news was wrong. They knew that Zhao Jiaren had some troops in Haizhou, with whom the Mongol army had fought a few years earlier and was defeated. When the Song Dynasty was destroyed, the Mongol army chose not to engage the Song army in Haizhou. The Song army in Haizhou has also been very peaceful in recent years, and the Mongolian court has chosen to forget that there is still an armed force there.

After some discussion, everyone felt a little incredible. The Song army in Haizhou suddenly challenged the Mongol army, was this looking for death?

For more than a dozen days, such messages suddenly disappeared as if nothing had happened. It made Kublai Khan think that what happened before might be true, but it was just a false alarm. At the beginning of July, the court sent out to see what was going on, and some people came back.

On weekdays, these lowly guys would not have appeared in front of the Great Khan at all. At this time, the situation is urgent, and there is not so much to care about. However, if the status is low, the ability to express speech is very problematic. Some people are too scared to speak, and some can't grasp the point when they are questioned. Fortunately, these big people are well-informed and have a strong understanding. Those who were brought in were also talking about what impressed them the most, and it was not completely impossible to communicate.

All the minor characters who escaped said 'all killed' and 'all killed'. The Mongol army, Mongolian officials, Hui officials, Han officials, petty officials, the local Mongolian government and the subordinate organizations of the government were all wiped out.

When asked how the city fell, it was said that there was a loud bang, the earth shook, and it didn't take long for the Song army to enter the city. It is said that with a loud bang, the city wall was lifted off a large section, and the Song army swarmed in through the gap and occupied the city.

Fighting in the castle, the most detailed introduction of those who escaped by chance. Many of the Southerners carried a large tortoise shell, as if it were made of iron. It is useless to throw stones, shoot arrows, pour boiling water, and splash boiling oil. The southern barbarians carried this turtle shell to the city wall and began to dig holes in the city wall. I don't know what kind of magic they used, and it didn't take long for the rammed earth wall to dig out the boss's hole. After stuffing in the gunpowder, they ran. The gunpowder exploded, and the city wall collapsed more than a dozen feet in an instant...... Woowoo...... My brother is on the city wall, and no one who has been bombed can find ......'

After these situations were finished, Hao Jing and Lian Xixian looked at each other, and still let a person who spoke clearly report one thing.

"After the southern barbarians killed our people, they put up notices all over the city, telling the local Han people that they would only kill the Tartar ......, only the Mongols and those who followed the Mongols, and not the Han Chinese. So let the Han people not be afraid, as long as they don't follow the Mongols, it's fine. If you follow the Mongols, you will be killed......"

Without waiting for these words to be finished, the Mongolian nobles who listened to the translation got up and scolded, "damn Song dog" and "damn Southern Barbarian" are relatively common speeches, and some Mongolian nobles don't know what they think, and they angrily scolded 'damn Han people', which made Hao Jing and others' faces not so good-looking.

Kublai Khan's eyes were like torches, and he shouted: "Nanban is Nanban, what does it have to do with the Han people!" ”

When the Great Khan spoke, the Mongol nobles immediately stopped talking. Kublai Khan asked a few more questions, and then let those who had escaped from the Song army go down. Hao Jing spoke first and said, "Your Majesty, the top priority is to send troops to Shandong to assist first." ”

Kublai Khan waved his hand, "Today, let's make it clear first, and when we talk about the south later, we will use the Song Kingdom, the Southern Barbarians, and the Song Dog." Nanban's words are just to let me wait for myself to disagree, if I am provoked by Nanban, will I wait for myself to fight first? ”

The Mongol nobles bowed their heads in obedience, while the Hanchen looked solemn and respectful of the Great Khan's wisdom. Lian Xixian is a native of Xinjiang and has read Bible history since childhood. Although it is considered to be a school of Confucianism, its appearance is not very different from that of the Han people. So whether it is a Tartar or a Han person, he is not sensitive. When the Mongolian nobles and Hanchen had their own thoughts, Lian Xixian opened up, "Your Majesty, will this be the plan of the Song State to encircle Wei and save Zhao?" ”

Kublai Khan nodded slightly, "Song Guo is learning from our Mongolia." ”

This answer was a bit strange, and most of the Hanchen people did not understand it, and most of the Mongolian nobles nodded slightly.

In the face of such a huge cultural difference, Kublai Khan explained it a little. The Mongol conquest of various places was to destroy the ruling system of the countries at that time, and if it was not possible to destroy it once, then destroy it a second time, as long as it was consumed again and again, those countries would definitely not be able to hold on. Now the Mongols began to be sinicized, and just like the Han dynasty, a fixed system of rule isolated from the armed forces began to appear.

After listening to it, Lian Xixian felt that Kublai Khan's words were simply untargeted. He continued to ask, "Your Majesty, shouldn't we go to the aid of Shandong?" ”

"Aid? Hum! Kublai Khan sneered, "If only Song Gou was willing to occupy the city!" They probably just went from city to city at this point, and ran away when they learned that we had sent troops. ”

Lian Xixian was very puzzled by Kublai Khan's judgment as to why the city he had worked so hard to occupy did not continue to be occupied. The Song State lost so much land and cities, why didn't it make up for it by occupying the city? Just as he was about to continue to say a few words, Hao Jing spoke, "Your Majesty, even if the Song Kingdom is like this, we can't sit idly by. Send troops. ”

Kublai Khan nodded regretfully and said: "Gorten, I ordered you to take the cavalry to Shandong to force the Song army, if those southern barbarians drag their feet and refuse to leave, you will contain them, and wait for us to send troops to encircle and annihilate them." In the first two sentences, Kublai Khan was still able to control his emotions, and in the last two sentences, the emotions of the Mongol Great Khan began to become agitated.

"Obey!" Gorten Wanhu, who had experience in fighting the Song army, immediately got up and replied.

"Ordered Guo Shoujing to speed up the construction of the waterway from Dadu to the Grand Canal." Kublai Khan continued to give new orders.

Throughout the court, the Mongol Great Khan did not mention a single word of the Mongol army in Jiangnan.
