Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

"Great Khan! Master Tuo Lei has made such a great contribution this time. He really should share a large amount of land and population." Another Captain Wan, who was under Tuo Lei, said.

But before Wo Kuotai could speak, Zhang Yong stood up and spoke. :

"Rewards based on merit will only be given after the entire battle is over. There is still one capital city in Jin Kingdom that has not been conquered. After Kaifeng Mansion is conquered, we can officially reward based on merit. Thousands of households, as well as Lord Tuo Lei, , don’t be impatient yet.”

Although he, Wokuotai, Chagatai and others had already discussed how to deal with Tuo Lei's reward.

But it won't work if Tuo Lei is so dominant and dominates the scene. It must be suppressed. The people who are talking now are the thousands of households under Tuo Lei.

And this time. You have to come out and speak on your own, Wokuotai is not allowed to speak.

"Yes! The war is not over yet, and the Kingdom of Jin has not been completely destroyed by us. Isn't it too early to discuss the points now?" Qianhu Bart, who was following Zhang Yong, said.

"Rewards based on merit will have to wait until the end of the war. The war is not over yet, how can I reward you?" Chagatai said.

"Brother Chagatai, you are right, some of my men were rude." Tuo Lei said.

Seeing that all the Mongolian generals present spoke like this, Chagatai also spoke, and Tuo Lei also knew that now is not the time to take advantage of the Hebei area.

"Hahaha! My good brother Tuo Lei, don't worry. Now that I'm a brother, how can I treat you badly?" Wo Kuotai smiled and said.

After comforting his younger brother Tuo Lei, Wo Kuotai looked at the generals present.

"Okay, let's talk about it! What is the situation in Kaifeng Mansion now? How many defenders do they have? How many defense equipment do they have? The most important thing is how much food they have." Wo Kuotai asked.

Now we are starting to discuss the business, how to capture Kaifeng Mansion, the last city of the Jin Kingdom. We must first understand what the trump card of this last fortress of the Jin people is.

"Great Khan! At present, we know that the garrison in the Intelligence City should be between 20,000 and 30,000 people, but the food and grass in the city are still relatively sufficient, at least enough for more than half a year.

Previously, the Jin people had hoarded a lot of food and grass in the city of Kaifeng Mansion. "A Mongolian Qianhu, one of Tuo Lei's subordinates, said.

In order to cope with the Mongols' war of aggression, the Jin Kingdom made a lot of preparations in the capital city of Kaifeng, among which hoarding grain and grass was a very important task.

They don't know what the situation of the common people is, but there is enough food and grass for the Jin army to last for at least half a year. This is the intelligence sent by their agents who sneaked into the city.

"Great Khan! Currently, our army has surrounded Kaifeng Mansion from all sides. It can be said that it is impenetrable. No city gate can break out from us." Another Mongolian Qianhu said.

After hearing this information, Wokuotai nodded silently. This Kaifeng Mansion seemed to have to be attacked by force.

First of all, the food and grass in the city are very sufficient, so a siege is definitely not feasible. A siege of more than half a year would take too long.

More than a year has passed since we left the grassland. We must conquer the Kingdom of Jin this year and we must not delay it until winter.

"Starting from tomorrow, we will use our thunder cannons and cannons plus trebuchets to launch explosive packages, and continue to bomb the city for three days, and then send an envoy into the city to persuade them to surrender." Wokuotai said.

Since there is no good way. Then, let’s adopt the strategy that Zhang Yong has formulated before!

To attack such a large city, first use trebuchets, explosive bags, and thunder tubes and cannons for bombing.

First, intimidate the defenders in the city, and then send an envoy into the city to persuade them to surrender.

However, it is really difficult to persuade the Jin Kingdom to surrender. After all, this is a war to destroy the country.

That’s sad to say! Kaifeng Mansion was also the former capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the last city of the Jin Kingdom would come to an end here.

On the other side of Kaifeng City, Wanyan Shouxu covered his head with a desolate look on his face. He didn't even fasten the dragon robe he was wearing.

It’s over! Their Great Jin Kingdom is completely finished, and the inheritance passed down by their ancestors for more than a hundred years will be destroyed in his hands.

There is really no way to save the day, there is no way to save the day!

What can he do? When the Kingdom of Jin was handed over to him, it was already in a mess, even most of it was lost.

Immediately afterwards, he lost Guanzhong, Henan, and the entire Central Plains.

"Your Majesty! Please take care of your dragon body!" Wanyan Chenglin walked into the study and said.

"Well! Are you here? Has the Mongolian army arrived?" Wanyan Shouxu asked.

"Your Majesty! Wokuotai and Chahetai have been merged into one place. Now there are a full 250,000 Mongolian troops surrounding Kaifeng Mansion." Wanyan Chenglin said.

Before, a hundred thousand troops went out to fight in the city, which could be said to be their last chance. Unfortunately, they, the Jin Kingdom, could not secure this last chance.

"Where is Wuxianren! I remember that after the army was defeated, he seemed to have gathered more than 30,000 defeated troops. Where are they now?" Wanyan Shouxu asked.

"Wuxian, Wuxian, we don't know where he is now." Wanyan Chenglin said.

Now, the entire Kaifeng Mansion has been surrounded by the Mongols, and all contact with the outside world has been completely cut off. In this case, how do you know what happened to those defeated troops?

"Hey! Tell me! When I sent out the order to recruit King Qin to the capital, would there be an army coming to respond?" Wanyan Shouxu tried to make a last ditch effort.

He had sent hundreds of scouts before and rushed out before the Mongols could completely encircle them.

The goal of these scouts is very simple, that is, to recruit some towns from various places that are still willing to serve the Jin Kingdom, and then let them freely organize armies to come to Kaifeng Fuqin King.

But everyone understands that this is just useless effort.

No one will come at all, and there will no longer be any reinforcements from the Jin Kingdom.

The former ally of the Southern Song Dynasty would not come to support them again after occupying the four states.

"Your Majesty! There are still three thousand iron pagodas in the city with heavy armor. I will lead three thousand soldiers wearing armor to protect your majesty and fight out.

Then let’s head to our hometown in Northeast China! Go to the land of Longxing for our Jurchens. "Wanyan Chenglin said.

As long as we can return to our hometown in the Northeast and return to their Jurchen territory, we can mobilize the local Jurchens.

"Go back to my hometown in Northeast China, go back to our land of Longxing! Haha!

Where is my hometown, where is the land of Longxing? It was occupied by the Mongols more than ten years ago! The recently established Dongxia Kingdom was also destroyed by the Mongols. "Wanyan Shouxu said.

The Mongols have completely cut off all his retreats, and there is no way out. The final fate of their Jin Kingdom is about to come.

"Hey! How many people are there in the city?" Wanyan Shouxu suddenly asked.

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Wanyan Shouxu was selling in the gourd, since His Majesty had already asked, Wanyan Chenglin had to answer.

"Your Majesty! There are only about 600,000 people in the city now. We should be able to recruit another 40,000 to 50,000 adult men to help us defend the city as civilian husbands." Wanyan Chenglin said.

He thought that Wanyan Shouxu wanted to recruit a group of young and strong men from among these Han people.

Then a team of civilians was formed to help defend the city and reduce the pressure on the Jin Kingdom's regular army.

Unexpectedly, Wanyan Shouxu waved his hand and did not agree to recruit a group of young men from among these people to serve as husbandmen.

"Our Kingdom of Jin owes too much to the local people, especially the Han people. We have ruled this place for hundreds of years, but we have achieved nothing.

Most of these people are Han people, and there is no need to live and die with us Jurchens.

You tell the people in the city that if they are willing, they can leave the capital directly.

It is enough to surrender to the Mongols. We, the kings and ministers of the Kingdom of Jin, will protect the inheritance of our ancestors. "Wanyan Shouxu said.

"??? Your Majesty! You, you mean to let all the more than 600,000 Han people leave Kaifeng Mansion?" Wanyan Chenglin asked in extreme surprise.

"Well! Let them leave!

There is no need to let them accompany us in the Kingdom of Jin to death! After all, they are all Han people, not my Jurchen tribe. "Wanyan Shouxu said.

The last moments of the Jin Kingdom are coming soon, and there is no need for so many Han people to be buried. To increase the killings in their Jin Kingdom, let these people go out of the city!

As for whether the Mongols were willing to spare them after leaving the city.

The King of Guanzhong has done a lot recently and should be able to protect these people. Moreover, among the Mongolian army, there are also troops from the Han princes of Hebei, so they should not embarrass these people.

“As long as anyone is willing to leave, the city gate will be opened from tomorrow.

Let them all drag their families and leave! Whatever they take away, let them take it as long as it is their own. "Wanyan Shouxu said.

"Your Majesty! What if, what if the Mongolian army takes the opportunity to rush into the city?" Wanyan Chenglin asked.

"That's it! Send another envoy to meet the Mongol Khan to see if he is willing to let these people out of the city.

If you like, we can wait until all the people leave the city, then close the city gates, or directly fight the Mongols. "Wanyan Shouxu said.

If Mongolia is willing to let these people out of the city, then he can also take some of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom.

There are also Jurchen people mixed in among these people, leaving a little blood of the Jin Kingdom royal family and Jurchens to them.

"Your Majesty is merciful! I will select an envoy to go to the Mongolian camp to see if the Mongols are willing to let the people out of the city." Wanyan Chenglin said.

(This author writes based on historical facts. When Jin Aizong Wanyan Shouxu finally retreated to Caizhou City, he did indeed make the Han people leave the city.

To be honest, this is a rare good emperor among the emperors of the Jin Kingdom, but he just met the peak of Mongolia, and his family fortune was basically ruined by his father. )

At the same time that the Mongolian army besieged Kaifeng Mansion, the capital city of Jin, the Southern Song Dynasty court also issued an attack order.

After the Southern Song Dynasty occupied the four states of the Jin Kingdom, they kept their troops stationary and strengthened punishment and defense. They were waiting for an opportunity when a Mongolian main force went to besiege Kaifeng Prefecture and the troops were empty.

Nowadays, almost 90% of the Mongolian army has gone to Kaifeng Mansion. Sometimes it is a God-given opportunity, so Song Emperor Zhao Yun ordered without hesitation to assemble 120,000 Song troops in Xiangyang and carry out a mighty killing spree. Toward the land of Hanzhong.

At the same time, an order was also given to Meng Gong, who was conducting defensive work in the newly occupied four states of Henan, asking him to defend with all his strength and monitor the movements of the Mongolian army.

Be sure to do a good job in defense of the surrounding areas. In order to ensure nothing went wrong, the Song Dynasty court squeezed out another 10,000 troops and sent them over.

In the four states, 10,000 defenders are deployed every week. Even if the Mongols come to attack, they can resist for a long time.

The Southern Song Dynasty thought it was fully prepared. The strategy for Hanzhong began.

The news of the dispatch of the Southern Song army was quickly discovered by spies in the Hanzhong area. According to Zhang Yong's order, the 20,000 reinforcements that had already been assembled in Fengxiang Mansion marched towards Hanzhong Mansion in a mighty manner.

And he quickly passed the news to Zhang Yong.

The generals in Guanzhong launched the defensive strategy that Zhang Yong had formulated before.

A new weapon that Zhang Yong had previously ordered to be produced in the gunpowder production factory was also secretly sent to Hanzhong Mansion.

This is a dark, elliptical object the size of a watermelon. They were secretly transported to Hanzhong Mansion.

And they were quickly buried on the path that the Southern Song Army must pass through. Thousands of engineers came out to bury these dark things on the path that the Southern Song Army must pass through.

That's right, Zhang Yong's newly developed weapon is a land mine, which is based on the land mines produced by the militiamen in the liberated areas during World War II.

This is an extremely simple and portable high-power lethality weapon.

It was very popular during the Anti-Japanese War, and Zhang Yong's military firearms design book contains more than a dozen ways to make such simple landmines.

Zhang Yong chose the simplest watermelon mine. It is easy to make and powerful, and it highlights its simplicity and durability.

The materials used are black powder, an iron shell that can be knocked out by a few blacksmiths, and even a random wine jar. The production method is extremely simple.

This is a weapon that can only be used for defensive warfare. On the eve of going to Wokuotai to fight with the army, Zhang Yong handed over the design drawings to the gunpowder production factory and asked them to successfully produce this kind of landmine.

Just bury this kind of landmine, pull it with a rope, and hide it in a safe place. When the enemy approaches, you only need to gently pull the rope to detonate the mine successfully.

In addition to being filled with black powder, these new landmines are also filled with some iron filings and sugar to support combustion, increasing the power of the explosion and the killing power of shrapnel.

This is the third killer weapon in addition to the heartless cannon and explosive packs. They are all prepared for the Southern Song Dynasty army. This thing is a killer weapon in defensive warfare.

The Southern Song Dynasty army would suffer heavy losses just to get through the minefield created by Zhang Yong in Hanzhong Mansion. They don't even know what weapons are killing them.

And these landmines were just the first dish Zhang Yong prepared for the Southern Song army, just an appetizer.

He would not lose a single soldier until the Southern Song army cleared the minefield.

"Report! Report to the Great Khan! An envoy from the Kingdom of Jin has arrived." That day, Wokuotai and many Mongolian generals were arranging matters for siege and bombing, when a spy suddenly ran in and said.

"Oh! The envoys from the Kingdom of Jin are here? Hahaha, are they here to surrender to me?" Wo Kuotai said.

"Great Khan! These Jin people know that they can't win, so they came to surrender, but don't accept it! We don't need to negotiate terms with them." A Mongolian general said.

"Hmph! I think these Jin people are trying to play some conspiracy again! Maybe they want to use the power of negotiation to delay the time." A Han Shihou from Hebei said.

"Why are they delaying? Are they still waiting for reinforcements? Where can they find reinforcements? Will the Southern Song Dynasty come to rescue them, or will the Red Coat Army come to rescue them? All the territory of their Jin people has been occupied by us." The kings of the Eastern Mongols spoke.

is not that right? Now the Northeastern hometown of the Jin people has been divided among them, the kings of the eastern Mongolia.

"Go and ask the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin to come in. I want to see what he wants to say to us." Wo Kuotai said.

The messenger nodded, bowed to Wo Kuotai, and retreated.

Soon, a Jin envoy in his thirties was led to the large tent of the military camp in Wokuotai.

"Why did the emperor of the Jin Kingdom send you here? Are you here to surrender to Mongolia?" Wo Kuotai asked.

"No! We Jurchens, our emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and all the Jurchen generals of the Jin Kingdom have decided to fight to the death with you Mongolia. No one will surrender." The envoy of the Jin Kingdom said.

"Hahaha! Then what are you here for? Are you here to humiliate me?" Wo Kuotai sneered and asked.

"My Majesty the Kingdom of Jin! Let me tell the Mongolian Khan.

Our Kingdom of Jin has ruled the Central Plains for hundreds of years, but has not brought any blessings to the people of the Central Plains. Now our Kingdom of Jin has reached the final stage of life and death.

We really cannot allow these people to die with our Jin Kingdom. Even at the last moment, our Jin Kingdom will maintain a minimum of face.

Therefore, we sincerely ask the Mongol Khan to give us three days so that the more than 600,000 Han people in the city can leave the city to make a living, and do not harm them. "The messenger said.

Hearing this, the Mongol generals, Han princes, Zhang Yong and Wo Kuotai present all had expressions of disbelief.

did not expect! The Kingdom of Jin actually wants more than 600,000 people to leave Kaifeng Mansion?

"Hmph! I guess your emperor of the Jin Kingdom is going to hide among these people and leave secretly?" Tuo Lei said with a cold snort.

"Are you Jin people trying to play another trick?

More than 600,000 people have left. How do we know about your top generals and the emperor of the Jin Kingdom?

Will they blend in and get out? "Another Mongolian Qianhu said. (End of Chapter)
