Siheyuan: a game system with you

Chapter 122

With Li Yongxuan leading an army of [-] to Bianliang, it means that the capital of the Song Dynasty has returned to the hands of the Song Dynasty after more than ten years.

When the news came out, the whole world was shaken, and the people of Song Dynasty were all joyful and celebrated spontaneously.

11 years ago, the Song Dynasty united with Mongolia to destroy the Kingdom of Jin. Meng Gong once led his army to recover Bianliang, Luoyang and Yingtianfu. Unfortunately, due to lack of food and grass and lack of cavalry, he was finally defeated by the Mongolian army and returned to the original line of defense.

The failure to regain the three capitals this time not only frustrated the Southern Song Dynasty court, but also gave Mongolia an excuse to go south to invade the Song Dynasty, and it also made many Song people who were interested in restoring the lost land in the Central Plains feel very sorry.

Meng Gong, who had become an official, was very excited when he got the news.

While he was happy, he was also worried about Li Yongxuan.

Although Meng Gong left the front line after he became an official, he was still paying attention to the latest developments in the situation.

When he heard that Emperor Song had cut off Li Yongxuan's food, he almost died of anger.

Fortunately, Li Yongxuan actually defeated the Mongolian army under pressure, and successfully took He Nan several states.

The worry is that Emperor Song will definitely try to tie up Li Yongxuan so as not to pose a threat to the court.

Just as Meng Gong expected, Emperor Song learned that Li Yongxuan had recovered several prefectures in He Nan, and immediately sent people to He Nan to announce the decree to pick peaches.

While sending people to take over He Nan's territory and troops, he added officials to Li Yongxuan and transferred him back to the capital.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality gave Emperor Song a cruel blow.

When Li Yongxuan led his army to Bianliang, he discussed with Fan Yongji and others how to stabilize the situation and develop production.

Although most of He Nan's state capitals betrayed the Mongols and chose to surrender, Li Yongxuan had not officially completed the acceptance.

In other words, it is very likely that once the Mongolian army comes and wins the war, they will fall to the Mongols again.

After deliberation, Li Yongxuan decided to take advantage of the victory and lead 1 main forces to attack Zhengzhou and Henanfu, ready to deal with the Mongolian counterattack at any time; dispatch Guo Jing, Yeluqi, and Liu Zheng each with [-] horsemen to restore Suizhou and Guide Fu, Caozhou, Danzhou, Haozhou, Yingzhou.

As for Suzhou and Sizhou, they were occupied by the Song army stationed in Shouzhou, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Mongolian army. In the entire Henan Road, only Shanzhou, Songzhou, and Henanfu in the west are still in Mongolia. In the hands of the Song people, all other state capitals were recovered by the Song people.

Empress Naimazhen, known as the Mongol ruler, received information that Li Yongxuan led the army to the Northern Expedition, and He Nanfan Yongji betrayed the Mongols and surrendered to Li Yongxuan, so she dispatched Kublai Khan and Wuliang Hetai to lead [-] Mongolian cavalry to the south to quell the rebellion.

Once He Nan was lost, it would be even more difficult for the Mongols to attack the Song Dynasty.

In order to deal with the counterattack of the Mongolian army, Li Yongxuan expanded his troops aggressively.

He promised to the state capitals in Henan that the land would be shared equally, and those who enlisted in the army would get double the share.

All of a sudden, those who responded gathered.

Over the years, the people of Ho Nan under the Mongol rule have been miserable, even worse than pigs and dogs. It’s okay to exploit and oppress them. What’s more important is not to treat them as human beings, abuse them wantonly, and kill them if they want.

In the process of the Mongolian Empire sweeping across the Eurasian continent, countless civilizations were destroyed, many cities were razed to the ground, and massacres of cities and clans were commonplace.

The population of Huaxia that was massacred alone was tens of millions, let alone Jincheng, which was massacred by Mongolia in the tens of millions.

This is why many people hate the Mongolian army and surrender to Li Yongxuan.

According to records, when the Southern Song Dynasty perished, more than [-] soldiers and civilians would rather throw themselves into the sea than surrender to Mongolia.

In addition to having national integrity, there is also a brutal and bloodthirsty factor of the Mongolian army.

Rather than falling into the hands of the Mongolian army, life would be better than death, and it would be better to throw himself into the sea.

Now Li Yongxuan is announcing to all the people in Ho Nan that all Mongolian taxes will be abolished, all fields will be nationalized, distributed according to population, transactions are not allowed, and tax exemption will be granted for three years. After three years, only [-]% of taxes will be collected each year.

In this way, everyone can get the land, and there is no need to pay taxes for the first three years.

This kind of good thing, in the past, the people of He Nan would not dare to think about it.

However, since Li Yongxuan entered the army, he has done nothing to the people of Ho Nan. Naturally, many people are willing to believe it.

As a farming civilization for thousands of years, the Chinese people's pursuit of land is unforgettable.

Although Li Yongxuan announced that the land was owned by the imperial court, and it was expressly stipulated that it could not be traded, but could only be used, but for most common people, the impact was not great.

They themselves don't have many land resources, and even if they have, they can hardly bear Mongolia's extremely heavy taxes.

In contrast, Li Yongxuan was exempted from all taxes, and did not have to pay taxes for the first three years. Even after three years, he only had to pay [-]% of the taxes. Compared with Mongolia, he did not know how many times better.

In order to get more land, many people bravely signed up to join the army.

They joined Li Yongxuan's army not only to share more land, but also to drive away the Mongolian Tartars and live a stable life.

After screening, Li Yongxuan asked people to select 5 troops, and the total force reached 15. If you count the troops defending the city, there are hundreds of thousands.

After taking down Bianliang, Li Yongxuan brought Wan Yanping over from Jincheng and asked her to help coordinate her father's family affairs.

These people are all remnants of the Jin Kingdom, relatively speaking, they are fairly loyal, and if they are used, they will be a big help.

There is no way to compete with the flexible and maneuverable Mongolian iron cavalry in the wild, so Li Yongxuan can only order all the people to take refuge in nearby cities to avoid being slaughtered by the Mongolian army.

For some small cities, if they just give up and divide their troops to guard them, it will only let the Mongolians break down one by one. It is better to gather the population and supplies in the big cities to concentrate their forces for defense.

Strengthening the walls and clearing the fields is a common method used by the Song army to deal with the Mongolian invasion.

It can not only avoid unnecessary casualties, but also avoid being used by Mongolia, using the people as cannon fodder to attack the city to consume the Song army.

Li Yongxuan personally led an army of [-] troops stationed in Zhengzhou, ready to deal with the Mongolian army from Guanzhong and the north of the Yellow River.

He knew that Guo Jing had a copy of Wu Mu's suicide note in his hand, so he asked him to help reorganize recruits at Xuzhou Changsha and provide support at any time. He also asked Liu Zheng and Yeluqi to lead 3 troops each to garrison Yangdi in Junzhou and Liang County in Ruzhou. It is stationed in Bianliang.

At the same time, Li Yongxuan sent troops to defend south of the Yellow River to prevent the Mongolian army from crossing the river.

He guessed that Emperor Song would send an imperial envoy, so he discussed with Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Zhou Botong, Yeluqi and others, and asked them to find martial arts masters to help intercept the imperial envoy and replace the imperial edict...

Li Yongxuan is not good at directly resisting the decree, but he can make the imperial decree of Emperor Song unable to be conveyed.

Without the imperial decree, no one can restrain him, and he can do whatever he wants.

No need to think about it, Li Yongxuan also knew what Song Emperor was planning.

He was not the Marshal Yue who fought against the Jin army back then, he was neither loyal nor dependable, and all the forces were created entirely by himself.

Because the population was concentrated, and everyone hated Mongolia very much, they spontaneously helped to defend the city, which greatly relieved the pressure of Li Yongxuan's tense troops.

As the defensive side, they can only wait for Mongolia to attack, and they have no ability to attack at all.

While Chahan and Zhang Rou successively led their troops to retreat westward, Li Yongxuan led his troops to take Dengfeng.

He Nan Dengfeng, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to attack.

Fortunately, Chahan and Zhangrou lost Bianliang first, worried that Xijing Luoyang would also fall, and retreated westward in a hurry, so that Li Yongxuan easily took the Honan states and Dengfeng.

In this way, Li Yongxuan established a line of defense in Liang County of Ruzhou, Dengfeng of Henan, Xingyang of Zhengzhou, and Heyin. He and Guo Jing and Huang Rong took care of Zhengzhou and Xuzhou.

A month later, Kublai Khan and Wu Liang joined forces and led 30 Mongolian cavalry to Luoyang, gathering [-] troops from various walks of life, preparing to pacify Henan Li Yongxuan as soon as possible.

The last time Kublai Khan led an army to attack the Song Dynasty, he was captured by Li Yongxuan in the camp outside Xiangyang City, forced to retreat, and paid [-] shi for food and [-] sets of equipment to go out, which made him the laughing stock of the Mongolian royal family for a time.

In view of this, Kublai Khan not only led the Mongolian iron cavalry south this time, but also invited many martial arts masters to help out.

Jinlun Fawang, monk, Xiaoxiangzi, Nimoxing, Yin Kexi, masters from all walks of life, all present.

The monk was seriously injured by Li Yongxuan's palm before, and he lost all face. It took a lot of effort to heal the injury.

This time I came here, both for meritorious service and for revenge.

Kublai Khan specially divided his troops into two groups, one led by Wuliang Hetai led 17 Mongolian iron cavalry, Chahan and Zhang Rou led [-] miscellaneous troops to attack Xingyang, and the soldiers pointed directly at Zhengzhou and Bianliang; [-] Mongolian iron cavalry and [-] miscellaneous troops attacked Liang County, Ruzhou, and went straight into He Nan's heart.

Li Yongxuan received the news from Luoyang's eyeliner, and personally led 2 people to station in Xingyang, and invited Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Zhou Botong, Zhu Ziliu and others to Ruzhou to help out.

He asked Yeluqi to lead an army of 30 troops to defend Liang County, Ruzhou, and to fortify the city. With the help of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, even if an army of [-] attacked the city, it would be enough to support it, not to mention a large number of guns and artillery.

Since Li Yongxuan led the army to the Northern Expedition, Jincheng's production line of muskets and artillery has never stopped.

For more than a year, more than 300 artillery pieces have been produced, and more than 3 muskets have been produced.

Most of them, Li Yongxuan teleported to the front line, leaving only a small part in Jincheng to defend the lair.

After he led his army into Bianliang City, he began to recruit a large number of manpower to prepare for the production of artillery and muskets.

It is a pity that there is a lack of skilled craftsmen, related materials, and supporting facilities. So far, the output has not yet been formally formed.

The war started, and the Mongolian army drove tens of thousands of people towards the city.

They were all common people in the Central Plains captured by the Mongols, and they didn't even have a decent weapon in their hands.

Standing on the city wall, Li Yongxuan looked at the countless refugees coming in densely like a tide, and shouted: "Everyone outside the city, listen to me, I know that you have come to attack the city because of the coercion of the Tartars. Sit quietly in the city, I promise I will never hurt you! Anyone who disobeys will die!"

His internal strength is now superb, unmatched by anyone, and his shouting voice can be heard for miles, even on a chaotic battlefield, which can be clearly heard by everyone.

Seeing Li Yongxuan standing there like a god, the refugees outside the city were startled.

None of them thought that there are such powerful people in the world. Although they don't know whether what Li Yongxuan said is true or not, there are very few people who really want to attack the city.

If it weren't for the persecution of the Mongolian army, how many people would risk their lives to attack the city?

Li Yongxuan had already expected that the Mongolian army would send refugees to the city, so he specially reserved a place outside the city for the refugees to live in.

Sure enough, most of the people who rushed to the bottom of the city stopped, did not attack the city, and did not sit down.

Obviously, they still want to wait and see.

If Li Yongxuan could lead his army to resist the Mongolian army, there would be no need for them to attack the city, help the tyrant to abuse, and sacrifice their lives in vain.

If Li Yongxuan was unable to resist the Mongolian army, then they would try to capture the city, maybe there was still a way out.

There are also some people who want to make meritorious deeds, or are spies of the Mongolian army, and they instigate the people around them to attack the city together.

Li Yongxuan saw it clearly, and personally operated the artillery at the top of the city, fired a few shots, and blasted those people to a bloody mess, leaving the refugees on the side shocked and terrified.

Seeing the failure of the refugee's plan to attack the city, Wu Lianghe asked Cha Han and Zhang Rou to lead the army to massacre the refugees.

Since these refugees are disobedient, what's the use of keeping them?

You can only kill them, and let other people know how powerful they are!
Although Li Yongxuan had someone dig a trench to allow refugees to avoid attacks, the number of refugees was too large, the place was too small, and they had no armor. under.

The Song army at the head of the city began to counterattack, continuously firing artillery shells at the Mongolian army outside the city to attack.

The main target of the artillery is the Mongolian siege vehicle. Once it hits, the vehicle will be destroyed; if it misses, the Mongolian army will be killed or injured.

Even city walls can collapse, let alone siege vehicles and people.

Wu Liang Hetai was shocked when he saw this scene.

Unexpectedly, the Song people could produce such powerful artillery. If they also have the Mongols, what city can't be captured?
Chahan and Zhang Rou were surprised to see that there were dozens of cannons in Xingyang.

They had seen dozens of cannons in Nanyang before, and there were dozens of cannons here. How could it be possible for the Song Army to have so many such powerful cannons all of a sudden?

Unless the Mongolian army disperses the attack, the artillery will be accurate every time.

The problem is, how can there be strength in dispersing the attack?How to attack the city?

Li Yongxuan ordered hundreds of cannons to bombard him continuously, destroying more than a dozen siege vehicles and killing hundreds of Mongolian troops.

Although the number of casualties was not many, the psychological impact caused was very large. The morale of the army was frustrated and morale was low. More importantly, nearly half of the siege vehicles were destroyed. How can they attack the city?

In desperation, Wu Liang Hetai could only reluctantly agree to Cha Han and Zhang Rou's temporary withdrawal.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yongxuan ordered people to open the gate of the city, and sent 1 people out of the city to deal with the corpses of the refugees.

He asked the refugees outside the city to help, and waited until the scene was settled properly before releasing all the refugees into the city.

In order to prevent spies among these people from causing chaos in Xingyang City, Li Yongxuan concentrated them in the south of the city and sent people to guard them.

After the brutal massacre by the Mongolian army just now, tens of thousands of refugees, nearly half of them were killed or injured, and only more than 2 people escaped.
