    Chinese customs, and an important point that distinguishes China from other barbarians, are that the Central Plains have always respected the dead, and the dead will eventually return to their ancestors. This is the imprint of ancient ancestor worship on China, but respect for the dead is rare in the surrounding tribes.  Such attention was paid to the fact that emperors of all dynasties repeatedly issued orders for light burials, and it was difficult to prohibit people from burying the dead in thick buryings to express their thoughts and condolences.  Today, the entire city of Chengdu has been slaughtered by the Mongols, and the corpses in the city have turned into bones. As a member of Sichuan officials, Zheng Yunming must not allow such a thing to happen.  He recruited 30,000 young people from the refugees and went to Chengdu to collect the corpses and bury them properly.  Although I have known for a long time that the massacre of the Mongols is famous in history, and I also understand that Chengdu is by no means the most prominent or famous among the Mongolian achievements, but the knowledge in the books of later generations, and seeing it with my own eyes  The mountains of bones piled up in front of him gave him two completely different feelings. This mountain of bones was not one, two, or three, but also ten, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand. According to the results of the subsequent counting, Chengdu Fuguang  The number of victims in the city exceeded one million. Since the king of Shu gathered in Chengdu, Chengdu, which had been prosperous for thousands of years and had not been harmed by the barbarians, as the second core of Chinese civilization since the Tang Dynasty, has never recovered.  "This is the journey of an animal, no, this is the journey of a demon that is even more extreme than an animal!" Zheng Yunming looked at the purgatory-like scene in front of him and said to Wang Deng beside him: "Jing Song, there is such a dehumanization in the world.  It is really unimaginable and unimaginable that a nation has such a barbaric and cruel army." Wang Deng gritted his teeth and said, "After all, the official is a son of a wealthy family. I heard that the Mongols are dangerous.  In Shandong, 700,000 young men and women were massacred just because they were bringing trouble with them when they returned to Mongolia. The Hu people have the same temperament as tigers and wolves. The world has long understood that the hatred of Chengdu today must be repaid generously in the future.  " Zheng Yunming shook his head: "I am only worried about the two Huaihe Rivers now. Jinghu has been stabilized and Sichuan has been destroyed. We have no news about the two Huaihei Rivers. Once the two Huaihei Rivers are destroyed, the Mongols will invade the Yangtze River next year even if they do not cross the river now.  It will also directly threaten Lin'an and the important areas in the south of the Yangtze River." Zheng Yunming quickly got the news about Huainan. When he returned to Jiading Prefecture, he happened to encounter an envoy sent by the Xiangyang Production Envoy to report the military situation in Huainan.  , Zhao Kui still treated Zheng Yunming as an old subordinate, and did not send him away with ordinary military intelligence reports. He sent the envoy sent by the Huaixi Manufacturing Envoy to inform Zheng Yunming directly to central Sichuan to explain the military information to Zheng Yunming in detail.  This envoy is a young envoy in the Du Gao shogunate of the Anfeng Army. Although he is only fifteen years old, he is eloquent and can talk eloquently.  When Zheng Yunming saw him for the first time, he whispered to Wang Deng: "Du Gong has a clear reputation. I don't know how he thought about it. He actually let such a baby act as an envoy. Is there really no one in Huaisi?" The young man immediately shouted loudly.  Said: "Heroes don't ask where they come from, how can a hero be old? The Song Dynasty has a governor in his twenties, why can't he have an envoy who is fifteen years old?" Zheng Yunming laughed and said: "He is an interesting kid.  At your age, you should study hard in the academy and serve the country after you have achieved fame." The young man retorted loudly: "This is Zheng Dutong's fault. Since the capital has been regarded as a scholar.  Leading troops, since Jinghu became famous, did you know how many academies in Jiangnan have praised the reputation of Dutong? It is important for a man to achieve fame early. Now the Confucian scholars in Jiangnan in their early twenties are gearing up to enter the army and imitate Dutong to win on the battlefield.  After all the fame, the student was just a little impatient. "Zheng Yunming's expression became serious and he said: "The Hu people used millions of skilled soldiers to attack the weak and old soldiers in Jiangnan. The battlefield is a place where lives are always at stake.  If it is a frivolous fight, just for the top job, it is better to return home early to support your parents. This is a battlefield where hundreds of thousands of lives are on the line, and it is not a place for scholars to talk nonsense!" But the young man is honest!  After receiving these admonitions, he bowed his head and said: "Students must do their best and dare not be negligent in the slightest." "That's all," Zheng Yunming motioned for someone to move a seat and told him to sit down, pointing to the generals standing on both sides.  They said, "How is the situation in Huaixi? Let me tell them from the beginning in detail." The young man accepted the order and told it in detail.  In this southern expedition, the Mongols used no less troops than the Changzi expedition. They used more than 100,000 elite cavalry in Jinghu and dispatched more than 100,000 cavalry from various ethnic groups in Sichuan. The troops used to attack the Huaihe River direction were Marshal Du Cha.  Han's 70,000 cavalry.  Chahan is a well-known backbone general of the Mongolian army. Hearing the news that he led his army to invade, the entire Huaixi was panicked.  Chahan's army first attacked Gushi County in Guangzhou. Generals Lu Wenxin and Du Lin stationed in Huaixi refused to carry out the imperial order to reinforce Guangzhou.They each supported their troops to cause chaos, and took up residence in Lu'an and Huoqiu, separatist and waiting.  The Mongolian army then marched straight in, attacked Guangzhou, and then turned to attack Luzhou. Shi Songzhi, the Huaixi envoy and deputy envoy along the Yangtze River, You Tuo, the Huaidong pacification envoy, and Chen Ye, the Yanjiang envoy, all sent troops to block the attack.  During the fierce battle between the two sides, Huaixi's troops and horses prevented the Mongolian army from continuing southward, while the Mongolian army turned to Huaidong to attack and plunder, first besieging Chuzhou.  Zhao Bangyong, the commander-in-chief of Chizhou of the Song Army, led 10,000 elite troops to the rescue. The two armies fought for seven rounds in the wind and rain. The Mongolian army felt that Chuzhou was difficult to conquer, so they took the initiative to retreat.  But the Mongolian army continued to advance south, and soon broke through Liuhe County, and the defender surrendered.  When the Mongolian army attacked Liuhe, the Song army sent elite troops from the Zhiji Envoy Department along the river to relieve the siege. The two armies encountered each other near Xuanhua Town. The Song army won the first battle. The leading general believed that the enemy would definitely return to retaliate, so he urged  Huaidong Zhizhishi arrived for reinforcements, but no reinforcements arrived from Huaidong. After the Mongolian army captured Liuhe, they attacked the Song army in Xuanhua with their main force, surrounded the Song army several times, and attacked desperately.  They also formed a battle formation and resisted desperately. General Fang Zhen of the Zhijiang Envoy Department along the river was killed first, followed by Xuanhua's four generals Wang Hai, Li Xian, Li Xiong and Liao Lei. The remaining troops were led by deputy general Chen Wan and fought desperately.  After breaking out of the siege, the Mongolian army cannot stop them.  The number of Mongolian soldiers killed in this battle was several times that of the Song army. Many people surrendered to the Song army. The vanguard general Wu Gubiaoye was killed first. The leader of the Mongolian army who then commanded the entire army was unknown. The Song army was called Ye Guo.  The king's relative also suffered a serious gunshot wound and died of his injuries the next day.  The Mongolian army was surprised and said that they had never experienced such a fierce battle since they followed Lao Khan to attack the Kingdom of Jin!  Although Chahan suffered certain losses in Xuanhua, his fighting spirit remained unabated and he continued to attack Zhenzhou.  This time he met his opponent. Zhenzhou Zhizhou Qiu Yue was well versed in both civil and military affairs and had a deep understanding of the art of war.  Chahan made solid preparations before he entered Zhenzhou.  Every time the Mongolian army entered the city to attack, Qiu Yue commanded the defenders to attack them head-on and repel them.  After the Mongolian army retreated slightly, Qiu Yue led his army out of the city, pursued them outside the city to cover up the enemy, and successfully shot and killed one of the enemy's generals.  Qiu Yue saw the enemy cavalry rolling in, so he said to the generals that the Mongolian cavalry was too powerful and could not defeat them, so they could only win with tactics.  So three ambushes were set up in the west of the city, and artillery mounts were placed at the head of the city. As expected, the Mongolian army came from the west of the city, and was intercepted by the Song army's ambush from all directions. The artillery cart at the head of the city fired stones to meet them, killing a brave general who was charging forward.  .  At night, Qiu Yue sent elite troops to rob the camp and burn the Mongolian tents. The Mongolian army was in chaos and finally retreated from Zhenzhou City.  Another group of Mongolian cavalry invaded the territory of Gaoyou. The defender of Gaoyou sent soldiers and horses to escort Feng Tingjian to fight. Feng Tingjian led four clippers and 200 crossbowmen to the Lingtang area. They encountered the vanguard of the Mongolian cavalry and all the Song troops came ashore.  Feng Tingjian ordered an ambush to be set up behind a farmhouse, and then fifty crossbowmen formed a formation with their backs to the water. After the Mongolian cavalry arrived, they immediately charged the crossbowmen.  The Song army formed a formation and took turns to shoot at the Mongolian army. As a result, when the Mongolian army approached, they all got stuck in the mud of the river pond. At this time, the Song army behind the farmhouse also came out and attacked the Mongolian army from front to back, killing dozens of people in total.  When the main force of the army arrived, Feng Tingjian had already commanded a small force to slowly board the ship and retreat, and the whole army returned.  While the fighting was fierce in Huaidong, Chahan ordered Cui Wenju and Fan Yongji, the rebel generals of the Song Dynasty stationed in western Henan, to lead their troops to attack Anfeng.  Du Gao of Zhi'an Fengjun told his subordinates that the Mongolian army's usual skill is to first capture a city as a base, and then use it as a basis to attack in depth.  Now if the enemy wants to attack Anfeng, they must attack Shunchang, the barrier north of Anfeng. Shunchang has few troops and is blocked by roads, so it is difficult to guard it. It is better to withdraw the soldiers and civilians in advance to avoid becoming the enemy's target.  So Du Shu was sent to lead a thousand ships and carry money and food to relocate the people.  When the people boarded the ship to evacuate, the Mongolian army arrived just in time. Du Shu sent troops to intercept the Mongolian army while picking up the people on the ship in an orderly manner, and finally transferred all the people of Shunchang safely.  After Du Gao settled the people in Shouchun, he believed that the outer defenses of Anfeng and Shouchun were weak, so he stepped up his efforts to build a sub-city outside Anfeng City.  As soon as the city was built, the Mongolian army came to attack.  The Song army fought hard and shot to death two enemy leaders wearing red robes.  The Mongolian army then abandoned the city and directly surrounded Anfeng City. Nie Bin, the commander-in-chief of Anfeng, led his troops to tightly defend the city. General Zhao Liang led the light cavalry to sneak out from behind the enemy and attack and rob the enemy forces everywhere.  The Mongolian army climbed up and looked out, but the Song army was all hidden in the houses and could not see the reality.  When the Mongolian army was unable to attack the city and its morale was low, Du Gao sent people to fight out of the city and attack the enemy unexpectedly. The Mongolian army was defeated, and they spread rumors to each other: The southern soldiers are fierce, hurry up!  So they all evacuated Anfeng, and Du Shu led his troops to ambush them on their retreat and seized a large amount of loot.
