Chapter 7006: An Unexpected Situation
After coming out of the imperial study, Yang Jing has been silent and has not spoken, but the shock in his heart has never stopped.
Dong Huai didn't disturb his thoughts, and it wasn't until Yang Jing took a long breath that he raised his eyelids slightly.
Yang Jing pinched the military newspaper in his hand and confirmed to Dong Huai: "The situation is really so serious?"
Dong Huai hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
Yang Jing couldn't help but sit down.
He thought that the court was weak and did not dare to go hand in hand with the rebels, so he only knew to eat leftovers after the rebels' butts.
But this military report shocked Yang Jing's heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time!
Yang Jing was left and right in Har and Lin, stirring up internal strife in the Mongol Khanate, thinking that he could win a temporary recuperation for the Great Song Dynasty.
It's a pity that this is not the case, Yang Jing disturbed the overall situation, let Meng Ge compete with Guiyou for the throne in advance, and changed the overall trend of the Mongol Empire.
But Yang Jing also ignored one person, one person who should not be ignored the most, that is Meng Ge's younger brother, Kublai Khan!
This man who created the world of the Yuan Dynasty, when the power struggle was in full swing in the Mongolian imperial court, he stayed out of the matter and did not participate in it, but led tens of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals to quietly bypass the rear of the Great Song Dynasty from the original territory of Western Xia and Tubo!
Dali received the assistance of the Song Dynasty, and the domestic situation was very good, and the upper and lower levels were one, and all of them were united, which did block Kublai Khan's footsteps, but this was only a temporary peace!
As early as the beginning of Yang Jing's southward journey, Kublai Khan had already led his elite troops and captured Dali!
Gao Taixiang led the Dali army and people to resist hard, and Yu Jie's troops also led troops to support, but unfortunately the Duan regime became the sinner who betrayed Dali, and Duan Xingzhi's people became Kublai Khan's internal response, and the entire Dali fell into the hands of Kublai Khan!
Zong Yun's righteous army is powerful but it is true, and the momentum is also true, if the news of the fall of Dali breaks out at this time, the Southern Song Dynasty court will face great pressure!
Therefore, even if Dali fell, the Southern Song Dynasty also actively blocked the news, and the people in the inland may not know, but the southwest has already become a stream of refugees.
Fortunately, Yu Jie's Sichuan defense line was built, and Yang Jing also operated well in the southwest earlier, and Kublai Khan sent Dali soldiers to attack three or four times, but they all returned in vain.
But Kublai Khan has bypassed Sichuan, Shu and the southwest, conquered Jiaozhi and other small southern barbarian states, and is now approaching Guangxi!
No wonder Zhao Yun was able to tolerate Zong Yun's rebel army, it was because the Southern Song Dynasty had already caught fire in the backyard!
When Yang Jing thought that the Southern Song Dynasty court was doing nothing, the forbidden army of the Southern Song Dynasty had been constantly gathering in the south to constantly fight against Kublai Khan's strange army!
It is hard to imagine how frightened Yang Jing was when he received this military report and saw that Dali had fallen.
Gao Taixiang's army was completely wiped out, and he himself fought bravely to the last one, and like his own army, he sacrificed his life for the survival of Dali.
And the Duan clan accepted Kublai Khan's surrender and became the king of Dali canonized by the Mongol Khanate, still managing Dali, and the military and civilians of Dali became the vanguard and cannon fodder of the Mongols attacking the Southern Song Dynasty!
If you follow the historical trajectory, Dali was indeed destroyed in the hands of Kublai Khan, but it is by no means now!
But Yang Jing changed the trajectory of history, triggering the battle between Meng Ge and Guiyou in advance, but Kublai Khan got the first opportunity!
You must know that Naima is really in charge, and Guiyou can get the position, and Guiyou is a short-lived emperor, who has been in power for less than three or five years, so he let Meng Ge replace him.
After Möngke became the Great Khan, Kublai Khan fought with his brother for the Mongol Khanate, and in the end it was Kublai Khan who won!
Yang Jingman thought that everything would develop according to his ideals, but the situation was completely out of control, Zong Yun's righteous army was indeed overwhelming, but it had no foundation, and the Southern Song Dynasty seemed to be weak, but it was as strong as ever.
It is not unreasonable that this fat sheep, which is clearly allowed to be slaughtered, has lasted for so many years, and it cannot be defeated.
The Liao State used to be very strong, the Jin State was also very strong, and the Western Xia also jumped around in front of the Great Song Dynasty, and Li Yuanhao and others even bullied the Great Song Dynasty three or four times.
But now that these countries are extinct, the Great Song Dynasty is still alive, and the economy and culture are highly developed, which can still explain some problems.
Many people think that the Song Dynasty is weak, but you can't just look at the surface of things, maybe you don't know the inside story, even if you just watch the excitement, you should be able to see it, is it not enough to explain something about the Southern Song Dynasty?
Yang Jing and Dong Huai discussed these military situations, and combined with what Zhao Yun said to him, he suddenly felt that he was not suitable for the court.
As he originally thought, he was not a man who could turn the tide at all, and he did not have the ability to save this dynasty and save the world.
This sense of loss is extremely discouraging after all.
Thinking that he had influenced the direction of the world, Yang Jing was still full of confidence, thinking that he would be able to persuade Zhao Yun to let the Southern Song Dynasty provide grain and grass for the righteous army.
As long as the Righteous Army cooperates sincerely, the Mongols will definitely be driven out, and both the Southern Song Dynasty and the Righteous Army can achieve supreme feats!
And he also knows that Zong Yun's ambition is far more than that, even if he wants to be the emperor, he will not be the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, but sit on the northern world and fight against the Southern Song Dynasty!
But it was only at this time that Yang Jing realized that everything was his wishful thinking, and if it was really as Zhao Yun said, these things would never be as idealized as Yang Jing's conception.
Meng Ge and Guiyou are still fighting each other, and it is impossible for Da Kulitai to make a decision in three or five days, this is an extremely long battle, and this is also a battle created by Yang Jing.
But as this battle continues, who will really benefit?
Is it Zongyun's rebel army? Is it the court of the Southern Song Dynasty?
They have indeed gained time and opportunity, and they have indeed regained a lot of lost ground because of this, and now they have even begun to open the idea of sealing the mansion.
But now it seems that the biggest beneficiary is not the rebel army, nor the Southern Song court, but Kublai Khan!
Once Kublai Khan captured the gateway to the southern kingdom and completely defeated the Southern Song Dynasty, even if Zong Yun's rebel army captured Kaifeng Mansion, it would be attacked from both sides, and there would be no room for survival.
And Kublai Khan, with the exploits of destroying the Southern Song Dynasty, returned to the northern imperial court, and asked who still supported Meng Ge and Guiyou in the infighting?
While you were busy with infighting, Kublai Khan led his troops and horses to capture the Southern Song Dynasty court, which the Mongol Empire had not captured for so many years, and this feat was enough to push Kublai Khan to the throne of the Great Khan!
Although Yang Jing has changed the fate of these people, the trajectory of history has indeed changed, but the final destination has not changed, this is the trend of the times, this is the trend of history, and it is a law that is difficult to resist!
For Yang Jing, this is an extremely shocking thing.
Because in the north, the information of the Imperial City Division could not be communicated, and Yang Jing could not get the information in time, after returning to the south, Xu Fo and the others should know the inside story, but no one dared to reveal it before he had a face to face the saint.
No wonder Xu Fo would block the news of the Imperial City Division, no wonder Jia Yidao would be so contemptuous of himself, no wonder Zhao Yun would be so disappointed in himself.
All of this made Yang Jing feel powerless, and he thought that everything he had done could be called a great achievement, but it was unceremoniously said that perhaps it was precisely because he made trouble from it that he accelerated the process of history, allowing Kublai Khan to appear in advance with Meng Ge's advance!
If the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by Kublai Khan because of this, he Yang Jing would be the biggest sinner!
No!
He would never allow that to happen!
This is something he messed up, and he has to make it up himself!
Although Dali has fallen, the southwest is still his Yang Jing's territory, and Sichuan also has more than one step in the town, as long as he holds Liangguang, Kublai Khan will not be able to enter!
In addition, in Jiangling and other places, there are also Mu Zicai in the presiding places, trying to plant new crops, reclaiming wasteland, training seedling soldiers, etc., all of which Yang Jing made preparations early!
There are also Yelang people who have been recuperated, with these, can't they stop Kublai Khan from going deep alone?
Jiaozhi and other small Southern Barbarian states often harassed the Great Song Dynasty, in view of their location in the Southern Barbarian land, the domestic miasma spread, easy to defend and difficult to attack, often came to plunder, and retreated to the headquarters, the Southern Song Dynasty sent troops to encircle and suppress the attack, often also ended in dismal results.
Kublai Khan conquered these small countries, and it was a good idea to take them for himself.
But unless he shrinks into these small countries, Yang Jing may not be able to do anything with him, and he doesn't have the energy to attack.
But Kublai Khan's ambition was to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty from the south to the north, and he could not stay forever in some small southern barbarian states such as Jiaozhi Hanoi.
As a result, although he gained troops, he lost his geographical advantage, and Guangxi and other places have many ethnic minority brothers such as Zhuang, Miao, Dong, Yao and so on.
If the leaders of ethnic minorities such as Miao Village and Longxu Tusi, where Lu Baiyu is located, unite with the Miao soldiers in Guangxi and Guizhou, plus the imperial court forbidden army and local armed forces, relying on the complex terrain and climate in the south, it is not impossible to resist Kublai Khan!
The terrain in the south was not suitable for cavalry charges, and the climate was not suitable for the survival of the northerners, and Kublai Khan naturally knew this, so he would definitely fight quickly and strive to capture it as soon as possible.
So there is no need to defeat him at all, just drag it out, and Kublai Khan will definitely give up!
Yang Jing can think of this, how could Zhao Yun not think of it?
It's just like Yang Jing can hold a gun at him, whether it is the Yelang people in the southwest, or the Miao villages and Dong families in Jiangling and other places, etc., they will not obey the dispatch of the imperial court, but obey Yang Jing!
If you want to mobilize these resources to fight against Kublai Khan, Yang Jing is the best candidate!
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Zhao Yun left a screen and sat behind the screen to test Yang Jing.
If he didn't appear behind the screen at that time, but only left the inner son and the gunman, would Yang Jing still have his life left?
Maybe he didn't want to kill Yang Jing, not because he forgave Yang Jing, but because he needed Yang Jing to go to the south to give him his life!
Since he knew Yang Jing's secret power, he should naturally also know that it was the Shenhuo Camp, and they were all Yang Jing's people, Du Kefeng and the fifty grandmasters and craftsmen were all Yang Jing's people.
The technological innovation they brought is the greatest guarantee to lead the Southern Song Dynasty to a stronger and more brilliant future!
All of these are exciting, but at the same time, all of these are missing a core character, that is, he Yang Jing.
Therefore, Zhao Yun was reluctant to kill Yang Jing at all, even if Yang Jing used an equal posture and no longer treated him as respectful as a courtier, he had to endure it for the time being.
Or perhaps, he still has understanding and love for Yang Jing in his heart, but the problem is that as an emperor, his love and understanding have no meaning at all, because the emperor has never had personal feelings, only the overall gains and losses, that is a qualified emperor!
After thinking about this, Yang Jing finally calmed down and said to Dong Huai: "I'm ready to enter the palace again..."
