CHAPTER EVERYTHING
Tiemur has always been very concerned about the whereabouts of the Southern Dynasty emperors, and regards whether he personally expeditions as a weather vane for the Southern Dynasty to use troops. Now, when he learned that he went deep into the heartland of the Central Plains to worship the tombs, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. An Tong's report was not so concerned about it. After the Song army captured Daming Mansion, he rested on the spot for several days, and then divided into two groups to advance northward.
The Song army from the east route went north along the main road, followed by Zhangde Road and Guangping Road. The vanguard had crossed Shunde Road and entered Zhending Road; the army from the west route captured Enzhou, took Gaotang Prefecture, and joined forces with the Song army leaving Jinan to enter Hejian Road. The Song army from the two routes were like tigers opening their mouths, and they wanted to swallow the capital. The prefectures and counties along the way were difficult to resist, and they all abandoned the city and fled, and some surrendered without fighting.
"Khan, it's time to use people now. Although Zhang Gui was defeated, it was not his fault for not fighting. I also asked the Khan to be kind and allow him to make meritorious contributions!" said Korigis.
"The current military corruption is so bad, and the crime is unforgivable." Tiemur yelled in anger.
"Khan, please listen to me and make decisions!" Seeing his anger, everyone did not dare to speak and looked at An Tong secretly. He sighed, "Khan, before the fall of Jinan City, the Red Army of the Ma siege rushed into the Yan family, saying that he was suspected of colluding with the Southern Dynasty to surrender to the enemy. He was ordered to slaughter all the Manchus, regardless of age, and burned the mansion. The Han officials in the court were frightened. If the Khan dealt with Zhang Gui again, they might make them even more uneasy!"
"I didn't issue an order to copy the Yan family!" Tie Muer was stunned when he heard this, feeling inexplicably.
He knew that Yan Shi was a native of Lu. He was conscripted into the army at the end of the Jin Dynasty and was the centurion commander at the beginning. Because of his contribution to guarding Changqing City, he was awarded the title of Jin Changqing Wei and served as the order of Jin Changqing in the past year. Later, when the Mongolian army invaded Shandong in the south, Yan Shi led more than 300,000 households in the two prefectures and six prefectures to surrender to Mongolia. The Grand Tutor Mu Huali inherited the order of Yan Shi as the Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu and served as the Minister of Shangshu.
Later, he defeated Peng Yibin, the chief general of Daming Zhongyi of Song Dynasty, and his subordinates expanded to 54 cities. He went to the Mongolian palace to meet Ogedei Khan. Emperor Taizong gave him a tiger talisman and called Yan Shi the "True Blessing Man". Later, he went to Helin to meet him and was granted the title of 10,000 troops on the Dongping Road. After his death, he was posthumously named Duke of Lu and posthumously named "Wu Hui".
Yan Shi's three sons all made contributions to Mongolia and were appointed as officials respectively. The second son Yan Zhongji was very handsome and good at riding and shooting. He inherited his father's position as a military officer, and served as a 10,000 households on the Dongping Road. Emperor Shizuo attacked the Song Dynasty, and Zhongji was ordered to lead troops to advance and won many battles. People said that his authority was too strong and he was summoned to return to Beijing. He was specially appointed as the Minister of the Zide Department of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of Zhejiang Province. Because he was old, he refused to return home. Now that the Manchus were slaughtered under his name, Tiemur was also very surprised.
"Yan Zhongji loves the people as much as his son. When he governs Dongping, he asked the local gentry to pay the taxes owed on behalf of his subordinates and the people. After resigning, the gentry collected debts from him, and Kublai Khan paid them back after hearing this. Therefore, he hated the Shandong gentry and wealthy people. Perhaps it was their turmoil that they slaughtered the Ma Chi Army to kill him." An Tong saw Tiemur denied it and thought.
"This matter must be investigated and investigated in depth. Not only did Yan's family make contributions to the country, but his father and son also had a good reputation among the people, which was very popular with the people, otherwise it would cause chaos in the people!" Li Siyan said.
"Alas, Shandong has fallen into the enemy's hands, how can we investigate? Before Jinan fell, all the soldiers gathered together, and those who died this morning were dead, and those who escaped, where can we find them?" Buhumu said with a wry smile and shook his head.
"This..." Li Siyan immediately thought that the truth was indeed the case. This was a headless case in the chaos of war, but he believed it, "It is reported that the Han Hou family was destroyed in the fallen areas of Shandong, Henan, etc., and even on Hejian Road and Baoding Road, there were dozens of aristocratic families robbed and exterminated by bandits. If this wind was not suppressed, it would definitely cause panic among the people."
"Recently, there have been many cases of the Southern Dynasty royal family and ministers in Guiyuan even in the city of the capital, and the officials of Guiyuan were captured and killed, but the officials failed to solve the case. Now I think there should be another hidden story." An Tong frowned and said.
"Is this kind of incident a concentrated outbreak of things, which caused dissatisfaction among the court because of the invasion of the Southern Dynasties, and even the things that the Southern Dynasties sent to do!" Wuhu Mu Yan said.
"It must have been done by the Southern Dynasty. The little thief has always hated the Han people who surrendered to our dynasty, and even more hated those relatives who surrendered to our dynasty. Doing so can blame our dynasty, disrupt our military morale, and eliminate the troubles in his heart!" Dong Shixuan said.
"Aren't you just trying to get rid of Zhang Gui's crime? First restrain his family and wait for Zhang Gui to be escorted to Beijing for interrogation before dealing with it!" Tie Muer interrupted them impatiently and patted the Long Case, "The most urgent task now is how to deal with the invasion of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. They have entered the capital, and the capital is only 500 miles away!"
"Yes, Zhang Gui and his remaining troops have retreated to Zhending. Waiting for the order to enter the capital to apologize, I will order him to return to the capital!" An Tong replied.
"Khan, the safety of the capital is in Hebei and Shanxi. Now the guards, the Mongolian guards and the garrison troops are stationed in various places, and their forces are extremely scattered. With their strength, it is difficult to resist the offensive of the Southern Dynasties, so they were defeated. I think that all the armies should be gathered in important places and sent generals to lead the troops to prevent the Southern Dynasties from outside the capital!" Kurigis replied.
"What the envoy said is that the southern army came from the north and was very aggressive, and it was difficult for local troops to become enemies. Only by issuing troops from all over the country to gather in the border areas to fight the enemy in a decisive battle and forcing them to retreat, can the safety of the capital be ensured!" Wu Yan said.
"Now the Southern Army is in full swing and progressing rapidly, and it will take time for reinforcements from all walks of life to serve the king. I think it is better to let Zhang Gui stay in Zhending to command the troops and make meritorious contributions, and to send troops from all over the country to serve the king." An Tong said.
"I think the strategy of the commander-in-chief is feasible. Zhang Gui's ancestral home is Baozhou, and his clan members are spread all over the surrounding prefectures and counties. He is good at the wealthy family. He can definitely summon the rebels to help with the war and provide food and wages. However, the Southern Dynasty has always hated him, and he will definitely fight to the death with the enemy in the danger of extermination!" Li Siyan said.
"Authentication!" Tie Muer was angry when he heard this. He wanted to kill him, but they said it was like re-supporting the troops and making meritorious service. However, due to the situation, he had to agree and hummed in a suffocating voice.
"Khan, I have another report. Jinning Road urgently reported today that the Southern Army invaded from Jiyuan along Taihang Pass, and the guards asked to surrender and open the door and lead the enemy into Jin!" Kurigis reported.
"What?! Why didn't the enemy invade Shanxi quickly?" Tiemur was shocked. Jincheng was the southeastern gateway of Shanxi Province. It has been a must-fight for military strategists since ancient times. It is known as the "Three Jin gateway, Taihang first clash". The Song army could pass through Jincheng after passing the pass, Gaoping to Huguan, Shangdang, and threaten the capital.
"The Khan, the Han army has no weapons and armor, and the Mongolian and Semu army are unable to counterattack. He asked the Khan to quickly lift the ban!" said Korigis.
Tiemur was very upset after hearing this. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Mongols strictly prohibited Han people, southerners and Goryeo people from possessing weapons, and there was also a saying that "the Han people cannot resist the army." However, the Han army in Shanxi was in the capital because it was located in the capital, and even Daluhachi, who had the Han surname, was forbidden to possess weapons. Isn't it different to let the unarmed Han army participate in the war?
"It's all treacherous and slandering!" Mu said angry, "As early as a month ago, Shanxi Daoxuanwei envoy He Weixian reported that, 'If the soldiers in Taiyuan and Taiheling were arrested, if there were any mistakes, they would not be able to appeal'. The Secretary of State Fu Privy Council formulated the "stricken passes from the gates to the gates, and from time to time to prevent official items from being sent, and Xu Zheng was slaughtered and patrol activities', and rejected his request. He also ordered that "there are surnames in the prefecture city under Taiyuan Road, and the surnames were in Xiandalu Huachi, and the ban agreement was carried out. The officers and soldiers guarding the passes with a few wooden sticks, how could they block the Southern Army like tigers and wolves!"
"This kind of disposal was also reported by Daluhuachi, who said that He Weixian had secretly communicated with the southerners to facilitate his customs clearance. After returning to the garrison, he did not order his subordinate Zuoyi guards to hand over the weapons and armor to the arsenal, so he suspected that he was unjust. Therefore, he did not agree to his request!" Li Siyan was in charge of the Secretariat and immediately defended himself.
Everyone was speechless for a while. They all knew that Mu Huali conquered the Jin Dynasty by using the Red Army to serve as the vanguard. However, after conquering the Central Plains, most of the Mongolian army was accustomed to the nomadic life of the northern grasslands and was unwilling to stay in the Han area. Therefore, they returned to the old land of Mobei and left the Han area of the Central Plains to the Red Army to guard the towns.
Pingyang and Taiyuan are both important places in Hedong and Shanxi. Genghis Khan and Ogedei Khan will use the Dema Red Army of the Zar'er army as the core force stationed in Shanxi. They are here to look at Hedong to make them fully monitor and control the military defense of the entire Shanxi region. In this way, they can not only control the garrison and governance of the Han army and the local armed forces affiliated with the Hedong, but also to urge them to strengthen the military rule of the Mongolian Khan's various parts of Shanxi and strictly prevent any possible resistance activities.
However, the number of people from the Zar'er troops in the Ma Chi Army was not large, and it was difficult to meet the military needs of fully guarding and governing Hedong and Shanxi. After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the Ma Chi Army was once scattered among the people and stationed in the Central Plains. However, these Ma Chi Army guards everywhere, and whenever there was any disturbance, it was reasonable to report to the court.
This situation clearly shows that the court has been conducting quite strict supervision and control in Zhencheng, the Han army stationed in various parts of Hedong and Shanxi. In order to strengthen supervision and control of Wanhu Mansions in Hedong and Shaanxi, the court has all the Daluhua Chi Supervisors in the first level of Hedong and Shanxi.
Therefore, after the Ministry of Justice concluded, the Secretariat submitted a memorandum of the provincial government to implement the proposal, so it is not inappropriate for Li Siyan to deal with this. Moreover, what he did was in line with the laws of the court, so of course he did not want to take the blame.
But Antong and others knew that after the pacification of the Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan went to Beijing every year. The commander of the guards stationed troops on Datong Road. While "the royal family was vassalized", he also "divided most of them to prepare for entourages", and the rest "stayed in Yinglitian for the custody of the custody, and took charge of the affairs of the Xijing Xuanwei Office."
