    When Zheng Yunming arrived in Jinzhou, the troops of Jinzhou Dutong and Yan Wei had just returned to Jinzhou City for three days. If Zheng Yunming had arrived a few days earlier, he would not have been able to meet with Jinzhou Dutong immediately.  Although He Yanwei fled without a fight in the face of Kuoduan's army during the Mianzhou battle last year, he was reprimanded by the court.  This year, after being alone behind enemy lines, they became more proactive. When Kuo Duan led his army to massacre in Chengdu, He Yanwei led 5,000 troops from his headquarters and rushed out of Raofengguan via a small road, aiming directly at Jingzhao Mansion.  , attempting to attack the Mongolian army's rear base.  Kuoduan withdrew his troops partly because he received a report that Qu Chu died of illness, and partly because he was attacked by the Song army in the rear and had to withdraw his troops to protect Jingzhao.  After the army forward arrived in Fengzhou, He Yanwei was forced to retreat along the original road.  When Zheng Yunming arrived at Jinzhou City, the defenders did not believe that Zheng Yunming dared to lead such a small number of troops to the front line with the dignity of the capital. They bent their bows and arrows and yelled at him to leave quickly.  Zheng Yunming had no choice but to ask the city defenders to put down the hanging basket and let him go up to the city alone to verify his identity.  After the city guard saw Zheng Yunming's official documents and seal, he realized that the young man in front of him was indeed the governor of the capital appointed by the imperial court. He was the dignified deputy envoy to appease Kuizhou. Information in Shu was closed, and he was far less well-informed than in central Shu. But Jinzhou  Everyone already knows that a young general has risen in Jinghu, and he is the yamen of an important minister in the court.  The city guard looked at the seal and Zheng Yunming's attire and demeanor. Why couldn't he be convinced?  He quickly led Zheng Yunming to the Jinzhou Yamen Office to see He Yanwei.  When I arrived at the main entrance of the government office, I saw He Yanwei wearing armor and leading his guards to greet him at the door.  When he saw Zheng Yunming coming, he came to salute with joy on his face: "Now that Zheng Du has led his army to reinforce, Raofeng Pass must be absolutely safe." Zheng Yunming also returned the salute and said: "He Dutong thought wrong, Zheng  I¡¯m not here to help He Dutong guard Jinzhou.¡± He Yanwei¡¯s expression changed and he asked, ¡°If it¡¯s not to help Jinzhou, why did Zheng Dutong come?¡± Zheng Yunming took a step forward and said, ¡°I¡¯m here.  He discussed with the capital to abandon Jinzhou, move to Luzhou, and assume the front line defense of Luzhou and Xuzhou. When He Yanwei heard this, he subconsciously yelled: "You told me to abandon the defense line and move to the interior. This is sending me to the top."  Execution ground! "The Song army enforced the law and killed those who abandoned the defense line and moved to the camp without authorization.  Of course, since the beginning of the dynasty, military laws have not necessarily been strictly enforced. After the southern crossing, the code of conduct has become increasingly lax.  Even if the chief officers of some armies abandon the city and lose territory, they will not be executed according to law.  Often the problem is solved by lowering the level several levels in a row.  But He Yanwei also knew that when the war was urgent, the imperial court dared to kill people, and was also willing to borrow the heads of several generals to suppress the arrogant and brave soldiers who refused to obey orders or prohibitions.  In the previous battle where Kublai Khan led his army to invade Shukou, He Yanwei was imprisoned after the army was defeated. It was not until the changes in Sichuan officials that he was released from prison and led the army again.  This time he absolutely did not dare to move the army privately.  How could Zheng Yunming not know about his thoughts?  All he could rely on were orders from the court.  He took out the official document from the Privy Council from his arms, handed it to He Yanwei, and said: "I was appointed by the imperial court to go to Shu to take military measures. Before the new Xuanfu of Sichuan takes office, I have the power to act expeditiously. Please don't worry, Commander-in-Chief."  , Zheng Yunming will be responsible for all the crimes committed by the court." He Yanwei took the official document and read it carefully several times, and indeed gave Zheng Yunming the power to deal with it on the spot.  In fact, Jinzhou hangs alone in the north and has become a thorn in the side of the Mongolian army. When the Mongols move south again, a hundred thousand troops will rush towards Jinzhou without any hesitation. At that time, the entire army will be annihilated.  It is inevitable to die on the battlefield.  Now, Zheng Yunming came down from the sky to bear the responsibility of retreat.  This was really unexpected good news for He Yanwei. He Yanwei was a rough man and didn't have much scheming. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been caught and punished by his superiors for committing crimes. He thought about it roughly and thought that if something happened, he would leave the matter alone.  It was a reliable business for Zheng Yunming, so he patted his chest generously: "Since there is an order from the imperial court, how dare Lao He delay? I will follow Zheng Dutong's order and I will lead the army south to Luzhou tomorrow!" "Slow down, slow down, slow down.  "Zheng Yunming said with a smile: "If it was just as simple as moving to the settlement, I would not personally get rid of He Dutong." He said slowly to He Yanwei: "The Mongols invaded and the army retreated from the south of Yangping Pass.  It is too late for the imperial court to recover the prefectures and counties, but the land can be handed over to the enemy for the time being, but the people must not give it up to others. The thousands of people under your command need to take on the most important task, which is to conquer Jinzhou and Mianzhou below.  All the people, the treasures in the treasury, and the grain stored in the hoards should all be withdrawn to the south, to Chongqing, to Kuizhou, and not to leave a single commoner or a grain of grain to the enemy. " What he said is actually far from reality. You need to know a few things.  A hundred years later, there were mechanized transportation methods and industrialized organizational processes.?It is still impossible to evacuate all the people and property in the country without leaving a grain of food or a person for the enemy.  In today's society where farmers rely on the land and gentry rely on their hometown, this is even more idiotic.  But it is always necessary to strengthen the walls and clear the country. Zheng Yunming studied the war situation in Sichuan and found that there are many mountains in eastern Sichuan. He is not afraid of the sudden attack of the Mongolian cavalry group, but is afraid that the Mongols will give up the habits of the nomadic people and calm the hearts of the people in Sichuan.  The economic and production capabilities of important towns in northern Sichuan such as Xingyuan, Mianzhou and Lizhou started a tug-of-war with the Song Dynasty in Sichuan.  In fact, what Zheng Yunming expected was correct. On another level, the Mongols seized on the fact that the Sichuan envoys and Xuanfu envoys of the Song Dynasty only focused on handling the war and were indifferent to the residents in the north, and sent senior officials  Set up county officials in northern Sichuan, recruit refugees, build strong cities and production bases, and continuously deliver food and supplies to the field armies entering Sichuan, which tilted the war situation in Sichuan in favor of the Mongols.  "All rural people, in villages and villages, will all move to the south!" Zheng Yunming stared at He Yanwei and said: "Take away as much food as possible, and burn what cannot be taken away. All houses will be burned down, and all trestles will be demolished.  The gates of Guancheng were sealed with gold juice, the wells were filled with stones, and the mountain roads were blocked with earth and rocks. I will unite with the capital to personally supervise this important matter. " He Yanwei thought to himself, if this is the case, even if the people choose to stay.  It would be difficult to survive in the future, and he would have to live in the countryside and die in the ravines. Unexpectedly, this young man looked like a white-faced scholar, but he was ruthless and merciless in handling important matters.  Zheng Yunming added: "I have ordered Wang Deng to lead three thousand troops to wait for the capital army at Jianmen. When we arrive at Jiange, we can help the capital unite." "In this case, why not?" He Yanwei meant, why not  Why don't you just come to join the Jinzhou army and horses and take on the task of clearing the wilderness together?  Although he was reckless by nature, he was not stupid. He immediately understood Zheng Yunming's intention after thinking about it for a moment.  Clearing the countryside has always been a very irritating job. People are content with their homeland. If they don't really encounter something serious, why would they be willing to leave their hometown and live far away? Therefore, when clearing the wilderness, they are often pressed by sergeants, threatened with swords and guns, and even if they don't know, they will go to war.  whip.  The military also saw this as an opportunity to make a fortune, and took the opportunity to rob and kill the people wantonly. In short, clearing the country and relocating the people were behaviors with extremely poor reputation.  As warriors, he and Yanwei only need to master the troops and horses in their hands to have a stable position. They don't have to pay attention to the complaints and cries of the villagers. However, it is said that this official is the son of the former Prime Minister Zheng, so the goal is naturally not to achieve unification.  Forget it, I am afraid that in the next few decades, he will be in charge of the Political Affairs Hall of the Song Dynasty. Naturally, he will not want to dirty his hands and get a bad reputation because of these things. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But He Yanwei was also happy about this. The army moved to camp and retreated to avoid fighting. It is conceivable that morale was low and the morale of the army was unstable. If he could make a fortune at this time, it would only be helpful for He Yanwei to control the morale of the army.  Good things, no bad things.  So everything was agreed upon, and from the afternoon of that day, the Jinzhou Dutong Bureau issued notices in each township, announcing the move to the south. Most of the villagers, old people and middle-aged people were unwilling to move south, but in the face of the government's swords, guns and sticks.  Many people were forced to embark on the road of migration. What's more, rumors of the Mongolian army killing people in Shu had spread everywhere. It was said that it was difficult to see even a living person near Chengdu, which made many people anxious to save lives.  Go to the safe place in eastern Sichuan to avoid disaster.  The key to the whole plan is that it is not just Jinzhou that is being relocated. Zheng Yunming has sent troops to all places within Sanguan, from Xingyuan to Mianzhou, to announce the order to relocate.  In view of various constraints, there were still only a few people who were willing to go south with the army, but the migration that extended to the entire Shukou still reached the scale of hundreds of thousands of people.  The vast flow of people headed south along the rugged Shu Road. There would inevitably be sacrifices and losses in the process, but Zheng Yunming understood that at least most of the people surviving would be better than staying in the north and being killed by the Mongols.  This huge group of refugees could not breathe a little until they reached Jiange. Here Wang Deng had been waiting with three thousand Zhenwu troops for a long time. At this time, the refugees who had been abused by the Jinzhou Dutong Division were suddenly shocked.  The military army warmly received them, not only providing them with room and board, but also giving them food and escorting them on their march. For a while, the valley of Jiange was filled with joy.  Zheng Yunming's reputation for strict discipline and kindness to the people spread like wildfire.  Zheng Yunming couldn't care about this at this time. He was dealing with a more important matter.
