As the meeting progressed, Hao Kang only felt that his mood kept falling, and finally he almost gave birth to despair. This feeling reminded Hao Kang of a time when he was a child, he went to the cellar with his younger siblings in winter, but the rope on the rope ladder came loose, and he had to helplessly hold on to the useless rope ladder in the cold and dark cellar and wait for his parents to come to the rescue. The cold air that penetrates deep into the bone marrow is useless by rubbing hands and stomping feet. Looking up at the hole above, the glimmer of light was so far away, which made Hao Kang feel even more fear and despair.

When Dad hurriedly brought a new rope ladder down to the cellar, regardless of Daddy's reprimand, Hao Kang pounced on Daddy Hao Ren's thighs and cried bitterly.

Hao Kang interrupted the Minister of Logistics with a cold face about the number of straw rope reserves, "Has the messenger who sent the message to the king gone?" ”

The logistics minister was talking about the straw rope storage at this time, and he was suddenly interrupted, and he was also stunned. In the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, Cao Sheng played a huge role. The Great Song Dynasty used straw rope to make simple straw bags, built fortifications, and built marching stations, which were unstoppable. A straw bag is 50 centimeters long, and the earthen wall built with this thing renders all bows and arrows useless. When the Song army built the marching station, they often used two rows of straw bags to lay side by side, and after laying one layer, they were tamped once, and even the light catapults of the army could not shake the slightest. At this time, there were sufficient straw ropes in the Yuan country, and the Kiev side could use these straw ropes to build two new walls around the city of Kiev.

was interrupted, and the minister didn't know what to say. However, the commander of the Kyiv garrison who stayed behind and the civil affairs secretary said at the same time: "We send out three waves of people every day to ask the king to return to the division as soon as possible." ”

After Hao Ren heard the news, he felt a lot better. In fact, he knew the news yesterday, but at this time he still needs to listen to it again to feel a little more at ease. There were more than 100,000 wolf-like enemies on the opposite side, 5,000 defenders of Kiev in the Yuan Kingdom, and only 15,000 troops on the register, Hao Kangzhen didn't know how to deal with it.

Shang Shu of the Propaganda Department interjected at this time, "Prince, how do you call the Rus and the soldiers and horses of the Kipchak Khanate when the power is called?" ”

"What?" Hao Kang didn't understand what this meant.

The Propaganda Department can only explain. To send a message to King Haoren, of course, it must be accurately described in terms such as the invasion of the army of the Rus' state and the army of the Kipchak Khanate. These precise terms are of little use in the Yuan Kingdom. At present, the schools run by the Yuan Kingdom have introduced a full set of Song textbooks, and those students may have learned the names of neighboring countries in geography classes, but geography classes are only taught in the fourth grade of elementary school. 95% of the people in the Yuan State don't know what the hell the Kipchak Khanate is, and as for the Rus' State, it is even more inexplicable.

After talking about the situation in the Yuan Kingdom, the Propaganda Department Shangshu returned to the theme of Fangcai, "The eldest prince, in the book you sent back, the war slogan should use simple and clear content to let the people of the whole country know what to do. This necessitates a name for the enemy army. ”

Hearing this, Hao Kang couldn't keep up with his train of thought for a while. The channel for the Yuan State to collect books from the Great Song Dynasty is not only Hao Kang, the basic national policy of the Yuan Kingdom in these years is to completely sinicize, and one of the means is to collect all the books that can be collected and send them to the Yuan Kingdom. It is stored in the National Library of the Yuan Kingdom, which was established in imitation of the Great Song Dynasty. Hao Kang's group of international students is just one of the many collection channels, there are so many books, Hao Kang himself doesn't know what books he has sent back over the years.

Unable to keep up with the train of thought, Hao Kang could only ask the Propaganda Department, "What are you going to say?" ”

The secretary of the Propaganda Department immediately replied: "Fight away Mongolia and defend the country." ”

Many officials nodded slightly, thinking that this slogan was good. Hao Kang frowned when he heard this, and said angrily: "No! ”

In the Great Song Dynasty, the war slogan was simple and clear: 'Kill all Mongolia, defend the country'. The Song people could fully understand this war slogan, and they also meticulously implemented such a bloody war slogan. Hearing that the Yuan State was also an enemy of Mongolia, Hao Kang certainly couldn't accept it.

"How do you use that?" Shang Shu of the Propaganda Department asked.

Hao Kang thought for a moment, but couldn't find the right words for a while. In the end, he could only say perfunctorily: "Anyway, you can't treat Mongolia as an enemy." ”

After hearing this, the secretary of the Propaganda Department stopped talking. The atmosphere in the room was also a little more oppressive. Hao Kang looked at some ministers with disapproving expressions on their faces, and he was even more annoyed in his heart. Then I heard the Ministry of Agriculture Shangshu say: "Rest for a while, I'll go to the toilet." ”

So everyone got up and went out, smoking cigarettes, going to the toilet to the toilet. Facing the empty house, Hao Kang was very unhappy. Why should a group of Mongols do something to the Mongols! Hao Kang felt inexplicable. The Kipchak Khanate was motivated by greed, which is unforgivable. But the hatred of Mongolia in the Yuan Kingdom made Hao Kang feel even more annoyed. What is the difference between 'defeating Mongolia and defending the country' and 'killing Mongolia and defending the country'? For example, the Ministry of Agriculture...... It's a Han Chinese. For example, the Propaganda Department is still ...... It's a Han Chinese. For example, the Minister of Logistics...... Half Han. For example, the father of the military department is still ...... A mixed race of the Semu and the Mongols.

Thinking about it carefully, there are not many Mongols in the court of this Yuan Kingdom. It is Mongolian, and they are all Han surnames and names. Hao Kang was supposed to be a young man Kang, Hao Kang's 'Hao' surname was taken from Hao Kang's father Hao Ren's teacher Hao Jing. Compared with other semi-Mongols, Hao Kang's wife is more Han than the Han people in the north, Bao Xiweak is simply a Song person, and there is a shareholder in the rank of general of the Great Song Dynasty. Hao Kang can speak the South very fluently.

Thinking of this, Hao Kang felt discouraged for a while. In the Great Song Dynasty, the Mongolia in Hao Kang's heart was so pure, so glorious, and burdened with a heavy burden that could be sung and cried. Back in the Yuan Kingdom, the Mongolia shown in front of Hao Kang showed another side, the pouring and killing between the same clans, and the naked hatred between the same clans. This is something that Hao Kang never expected to happen to Mongolia before.

was depressed, and there was a commotion outside. Then the military officer rushed in with a communications officer, followed by a group of other officers. The communications officer stepped forward and saluted, and then said eagerly: "Tell the eldest prince that a Mongol army has reached the east bank of the Dnieper River, more than forty miles from Kiev. ”

Hao Kang only felt that an electric current rushed from the root of the tail to the head melon, and in the paralyzing tremor, Hao Kang asked anxiously: "How many people are there!" ”

"Looks like it's going to have to be 10,000!"

Half an hour later, Hao Kang was on his horse, and the deputy secretary of the military department grabbed Hao Kang's reins, almost begging: "The eldest prince, the soldiers are in danger, please don't go." ”

Hao Kang said angrily: "If those people pass the peace, let's finish together." Where is so much nonsense by this time! ”

After scolding, Hao Kang shook the reins and bounced the hand of Fu Shangshu from the reins, "You hurry up and prepare for defense." If I can't stop it, I'll pull back. Go, don't delay! ”

With that, he urged his mount to take the lead in the south. The Royal Forest Army behind followed Hao Kang and rushed to the south. The deputy secretary of the military department couldn't help but sigh as he watched the middle-aged soldiers rushing to the battlefield along the road. Hao Kang's personal leadership of the team did greatly boost morale, and the deputy secretary actually appreciated Hao Kang's bravery in this regard. But ......, sighing again, Fu Shangshu turned his head and called his subordinates, "You guys hurry up and start building the wall!" Fix the south side first! ”

Hao Kang was the first to pass through the city of Kiev. At this time, the alarm bell was already ringing in the city of Kiev, and the people carrying gongs on the streets were shouting while beating the gongs: "Listen to the families, the Mongols are coming." The men of the family all went to the square to unite, and the women and children stayed at home. Close the door. Who dares to steal and rob at this time, and cut off his head on the spot all the way! ”

All those who defend do not address the enemy, nor do they call the enemy army. Rather, directly with the Mongols. Hao Kang didn't have time to deal with them at this time, and when he passed through the city of Kyiv, Hao Kang found that everyone along the way shouted 'the Mongols are coming', and no Kiev residents went to ask the question of 'why the Mongols were fighting the Mongols', and everyone immediately understood what was happening, and was ready to resist according to the orders of the local officials. If he didn't know that this was Kiev, Hao Kang even suspected that he was in a Great Song city.

The army rushed out of the city of Kiev, and the vast riverbank plain unfolded in front of them. The city of Kiev was originally the birthplace of the Kievan Rus' state, which was conquered by the Batu Khan of the Kipchak Khanate and served as a base for the Kipchak Khanate's westward attack. During his lifetime, Kublai Khan allowed Hao Ren to establish a state, and gave the city of Kiev to Hao Ren as the capital of the Yuan state. Kiev served as the western border of the Kipchak Khanate, and all the lands west of it were run by Haoren. The Dnieper River served as the boundary river between the Kipchak Khanate and the Yuan State. In fact, Hao Ren only placed the city of the Yuan king west of the Dnieper River, and the fertile plains on both sides of the Dnieper River were managed by the Yuan State.

Along the official road all the way south, dozens of miles in less than two hours to complete. Along the way, you will see more and more Mongol cavalry on the other side of the river. Just by their cloth belts, it was certain that they were not from the Yuan Kingdom. The Yuan Kingdom, like the Great Song Dynasty, popularized buttons, and only those who had just come to the Yuan Kingdom and had not yet received clothes would use belts that wasted fabric. The belts of the Yuan Kingdom are all belts, and the soldiers are all three-finger-wide cowhide armed belts.

The farther south they went, the more Mongol soldiers there were. Moreover, the Mongol troops gathered by the river, without exception, were bending their bows and arrows and shooting arrows at the two ships in the river. In a torrential rain of arrows, the paddle wheels of the two ships stirred up scattered water and rushed forward along the Dnieper. Hao Kang reined in his horse and held up his binoculars. The two ships were side by side, black smoke spewing out of the chimney with sparks, clearly using the steam engine to its maximum power. Looking ahead, there is a thin white line faintly on the river. There are also indistinguishable shadows of ships and people wandering around the thin lines.

Pointing the telescope back to the two boats, Hao Kang, who was engaged in water conservancy, saw the signs of civilian ships.

These are indeed two civilian boats, and the captain on the right, Niu Jingui, is sitting in a high saddle, maneuvering the steering wheel on the high platform at the bow. He put his feet in the stirrups on either side of the saddle, his legs gripping the saddle as tightly as a horseman, and at the same time shouted to the sailor beside him, who was holding a high plank, "Stand with your legs in a horse's step, hold still." Our Yuan people are all sailing from the lord to the bottom, so stand firm for me! ”

Accompanied by Niu Jingui's loud shout, there was a sound on the wooden board when the feather arrow was shot. The dense sound was accompanied by the faint roar of the steam engine, which made Niu Jingui feel that his blood was in his veins. He reached out and tugged at the handbell string of the whistle. Not long after, a high-pitched whistle sounded. Niu Jingui couldn't help laughing, and shouted to the sailors who were carrying the planks: "Brothers, let's go and break the Mongolian pontoon bridge, and we can't let them rob our home." ”

At this moment, the first mate came out of the cabin with the iron pot above his head in his left hand, and shouted to Niu Jingui: "Captain, the ship on the right has sent a flag, let's let them go to the left to help us carry the arrow for a while." ”

Because Niu Jingui's ship was on the left, most of the Mongolian army's arrow rain was taking care of Niu Jingui's ship. Hearing a friendly message from the boat on the right, which was also going to hit the pontoon, Niu Jingui scolded: "Fart! Tell them that when Lao Tzu added iron plates to the ship, he wanted to sink his ship. Who wants him to block the arrows for us, and when the pontoon bridge is broken, the dog of Niulanshan should sink! ”

When the first mate heard this, he could only hold on to the iron pot above his head and go down the stairs. Captain Niu Jingui's words were right, there were many contradictions between the fleets running on the Dnieper, and many people died because of various collisions and road grabbing before King Hao Ren issued the river overtaking order and set up a shipping bureau to fully manage shipping. There were new and old hatreds between the various fleets, and there were a large number of brawls.

This time, Niu Jingui added iron plates to the bow and both sides of his ship, just to find an opportunity to seek revenge on the captain of the fleet on the right ship. When he saw the other party appear, he chased after him. After chasing for a while, I realized that something was wrong. God knows how a large number of Mongol troops suddenly appeared by the river, firing bows and arrows at the ships of the damned Niulanshan.

Then the lookout on the mast reported that the Mongols were erecting pontoon bridges on sheepskin rafts farther away. Captain Niu Jingui scolded at the time, "Damn Niulanshan, you still want to be a hero!" The whole ship is moving, let's also hit the pontoon, we can't let the dog of Niulanshan be a hero. At this time, the two boats were driving side by side, and Niu Jingui certainly would not accept the kindness of Niulanshan on the right.

Just when the first mate was about to enter the safe cabin with the iron pot on his head, he heard the captain Niu Jingui shouting: "Let the boiler room burn harder, and don't let the dead cow on the right be faster than us." Even if the ship sinks, it must sink in front of the dead ox. ”

Niu Jingui said what he was talking from his heart, although he was still scolding Niulanshan on the boat next to him, but Niu Jingui was more afraid that the Mongol army would cross the Dnieper River, and his home was in Kiev. King Hao Ren led his troops to attack the Semu people in the west, and the rest of the city was not a soldier, and if the locust-like Mongols stormed in, his family would surely suffer. If it is on flat ground, Niu Jingui's manpower on a boat is of no use at all. Only by crashing into the pontoon bridge can the family be saved. Seeing the damn Niulanshan driving the boat straight forward, Niu Jingui understood. Apart from going with this mortal enemy, Niu Jingui couldn't find any other way.
