- Chapter 55: A series of attacks on the navy in six states
Mongolian grassland
After surviving the cold winter, spring has finally arrived, but the Mongolians on the grasslands at this time have no joy in welcoming spring. On the contrary, they all have sad faces. The herdsmen are holding large handfuls of However, these banknotes, which used to be in good circulation and had a very stable currency value, can no longer buy anything. []
At that time, their Great Khan's order banknotes were generally circulated in all parts of the kingdom and in places within the power of the Great Khan. No matter who refuses to use cash, there is only one consequence, and that is death!
But now, handing over banknotes has become like waste paper. It is said that in the Han exchange market on the border, all settlements must be made in real gold and silver or in kind!
Although the simple herdsmen did not know that all this was the result of Liu Huai's manipulation, it did not prevent them from pointing the finger at the Han people in the south. The herdsmen also thought that it was these Han people who had escaped from the rule of the Great Khan that made them fall into their hands. The banknotes cannot be circulated!
So the calls to go south to regain the lost territory are getting louder and louder!
At this time, Xiliji was quite upset. As the actual ruler of the Mongolian grassland, his knowledge was naturally beyond the reach of ordinary herdsmen. Xiliji had long ago judged that this was his dear sworn brother-Liu Huai. What the hell!
By the time Xiliji understood this, it was already too late. The caravan sent by Liu Huai had already swept away millions of cattle and sheep and left the grassland!
But Xiliji is also a ruthless person. In order not to intensify the conflict, he still ordered that the taxes collected can be offset by paying money! Although the treasury was filled with these worthless waste papers, Siriki still managed to keep the herders under his rule from unrest. But the conflict was only delayed by Xili Ji, and it was not really resolved!
Now that spring has begun, it is no longer cold and the range of activities has resumed. Herdsmen have consumed a lot of supplies in order to resist and escape the cold winter. Now is the time when they urgently need to replenish various supplies!
The conflict caused by the issue of banknotes finally broke out!
Going south to attack the Han?
It obviously doesn¡¯t work!
Although after this period of development, Xiliji¡¯s army now exceeds 100,000, but 85,000 of them are hunting cavalry, and the number of Mongolian cavalry is only 15,000!
At this time, the strength of the Han Dynasty, which had already included Shandong into its territory, had doubled, and its military strength was already quite terrifying. Xiliji estimated that the Han soldiers had more than 600,000 soldiers, and the Han people were good at defending cities. If he raised his troops and went south, the Han army could just wait and see. , occupy the city to defend it.
Going south is doomed to failure!
But if Xiliji does not launch external conquests and divert internal conflicts, then the authority he has just established will be destroyed! The worst thing is that Xiliji doesn't even have the money to motivate his soldiers to go on an expedition. His treasury is full of banknotes that have become waste paper, and there is not enough cattle and sheep to use as military rations!
After hesitating for a long time, Xiliji sighed and made a painful decision!
Xiliji had no choice but to send an envoy to the Han Dynasty, seeking to obtain a large amount of supplies and gold and silver through trade to stabilize the situation. But in the grassland where supplies are now scarce, the only thing that can be used is war horses!

Shizhou
Just four days later, the 10,000 cavalry troops sent by Liu Huai returned to Shizhou. It must be said that Xindu was quite lucky. When he led the Han army to the valley, most of the old Yuan and Meng officials were still immersed in the sudden loss. In the midst of inevitable grief.
Seeing the Han army attacking, Yuechi Chaer led the last two hundred Yunduchi to resist desperately, and all of them died in the battle. Although the Han army also suffered nearly a thousand casualties, it can be said to be a complete victory! The old officials of Yuan and Meng who followed Kublai Khan were either killed or captured.
Xindu counted the number of people, and only Ai Buhua, the leader of the Wanggu tribe, escaped. None of the Han generals, including Wang Xiaozhong, paid enough attention to Kublai Khan's son-in-law, and did not even send a pursuer!
When Wang Xiaozhong found Dou Mo's body, it had been chopped into several pieces by the angry old officials of Yuan and Meng. The body was almost thrown into the wilderness by the Mongols. Wang Xiaozhong ordered the soldiers to piece Dou Mo's body together and put it into the body in front of Kublai Khan. The chariots and horses used were transported back to Shizhou together with the body of Kublai Khan!
The Han army entered Hexi with ten thousand horses. Wherever it passed, all the tribes, big and small, were terrified. No one dared to provoke or block the way. Many tribes even moved their families to stay far away from the Han army's marching route. Therefore, The Han cavalry went smoothly as if they were in an uninhabited country.
When the news reached Dadu, Liu Fuheng was immediately surprised and delighted. He ordered Dou Mo to be granted the title of Marquis of Zhongyi, with the posthumous title of Wenzheng, a gift to the Grand Master, and the title of?Cute son, to show his loyalty!
"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: General Wang Xiaozhong of Yulin resides in Wei Zhongzheng. He proclaims his kindness, observes integrity and enjoys friendship, and has made great achievements in attacking. I highly commend him. Now he will be rewarded based on his merits to stabilize the country. He will be promoted to General Longwuwei and granted the title Marquis Zhongyong granted three thousand households in Hebei.
??Xindu, the general of the state of Jiuyuan Town, abandoned his secrets and turned to the light. He found his way back and helped the army. I was very happy about it. I promoted Feng Chenwei to the general, made Ping Beihou, and granted 2,000 households in Shandong. "
¡°Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!¡±
Xindu looked happy. He did not expect that a difficult decision made a few days ago would save his wealth for the rest of his life. Although Feng Chenwei's general was a false post, the key was the three words "general" at the end, the military rank. Now that we have it, where is this Fengchen Guard? Does it exist? Xindu didn't care at all. He didn't want to fight in the north or south. He just wanted to continue to enjoy himself comfortably in Dadu and live a life of debauchery.
Wang Xiaozhong even made Liu Huai¡¯s group of civil and military officials envious and jealous! Just after going to Liehexi, in just a few days, he transformed from a Guanwai Marquis with no fiefdom to a Zhongyong Marquis with a fiefdom of 3,000 households. He jumped several steps in a row! And the military position was suddenly promoted from General Yulin to General Longwuwei!
Even Liu Huai did not expect that Liu Fuheng¡¯s reward would be so generous. It seems that he underestimated Kublai Khan¡¯s importance in Liu Fuheng¡¯s heart. The disappearance of the biggest hidden danger in the heart of the Han emperor made Liu Fuheng relieved and Longyan was delighted!

Xingyang
There are clouds of warships on the river, with flags standing in many places, and boatmen densely deployed. The historian's navy, or more precisely Dong Wenbing's navy, is gathering in the Xingyang section of the Yellow River!
With the end of the ice-free period of the Yellow River, the historians began to make plans, hoping that Dong Wenbing's navy, which had just taken refuge with the historians, would attack the Han Dynasty north of the Yellow River!
But Dong Wenbing refused directly. The reason was very simple. The period after the ice-free period of the Yellow River ended was a more dangerous ice-breaking period. A large amount of ice in the upper reaches of the Yellow River melted. At this time, a large amount of ice began to break, so the Yellow River water was mixed with With a large amount of ice floes, it is quite dangerous to sail during this period!
Therefore, Dong Wenbing's navy stood still and waited for this period of time to pass. However, the senior officials of the historian did not understand the navy and repeatedly urged Dong Wenbing to no avail. At this time, the historian was in internal and external difficulties. The confused Shi Ge even wrote a The fierce letter was sent to Dong Wenbing, which made Dong Wenbing quite depressed. Apparently, even Shi Ge did not believe Dong Wenbing's explanation for the unfavorable sailing.
But Dong Wenbing was quite proud and did not bother to explain too much. He still asked the navy to stand still and wait for the end of the ice-breaking period.
Just when the senior officials of the Shijia family were impatient and were about to start reducing the supply of Dong Wenbing Navy, the ice-breaking period was over!
Dong Wenbing immediately summoned his naval forces and gathered them in Xingyang.
This force that attacked the Southern Song Dynasty's navy head-on and followed Dong Wenbing's rebellion had only 80,000 people who trekked all the way from the Yangtze River to the Yellow River, and more than 6,000 large and small warships. Both the number of people and the warships were more than half less than in their heyday, but Despite this, the navy is still unstoppable in the Yellow River.
Because the Han Dynasty did not deploy any surface military forces along the Yellow River!
"Flag Sacrifice Master" looked at his generals who had prepared the boats. Dong Wenbing couldn't wait to give the order. His navy has been "hibernating" for several months. Now it's time to show the strength of the world's best navy. Let those guys still in Kaifeng see how powerful the Dong family is.
In mid-March 1276, Dong Wenbing¡¯s entire naval force was dispatched, sailing down the river from Xingyang, to attack the territory of the Han Dynasty on the north bank of the Yellow River!
Almost overnight, Huaizhou, Weizhou, Xiangzhou, Yanzhou, Huizhou, and Weizhou were in emergency at the same time! Urgent reports for help from various places were sent to Dadu like snowflakes!
In one day and night, six states were attacked in succession!
There are Dong Wenbing navy plundering everywhere along the thousands of miles of Yellow River!
