Faced with the death of 50,000 soldiers, Wo Kuotai had no choice but to fight. He could not retreat to Mongolia like this. Even the achievement of destroying the Jin Kingdom was not enough to offset the lives of these 50,000 soldiers. The Mongolian kings would definitely take this

He started to attack him vigorously, and he even doubted whether Guo Jing was sent by Drag Lei to deliberately frame him.

The Mongolian Khan issued an order to massacre the city in the name of revenge for the dead soldiers. Revenge and killing aroused the crazy fighting spirit of the Mongolian army. The war in Xiangyang City entered the most tragic stage. Meng Zongzheng had no other choice but to hold on.

He knew that this was the last act of madness. As long as he persisted, the morale of the Mongols would eventually fall.

Meng Zongzheng also adopted the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country. The Mongolian army attacked the Central Plains from far away. All supplies were looted on the spot. This was a strategy of supporting war with war. As long as all the food around Xiangyang City was destroyed, the Mongols

There is nothing to grab, and they will leave Xiangyang sooner or later, but in this case, those refugees will also starve to death.

The so-called kindness does not control the army. At this time, the entire Jiangbei was full of battlefields. The Mongolian army and the remaining Jin army, the people who resisted the Mongols, and a large number of refugees. Killing and looting turned the land of Jiangbei into a hell on earth. This war

Let countless cities be in ruins.

Yang Kang returned to Lin'an Imperial City. He did not go to Xiangyang City to boost morale. Xiangyang City is not Yehuling, and he is no longer the layman who knew nothing about military affairs. As an emperor, he has his own responsibilities. He is better in Lin'an City than in Lin'an City.

Xiangyang City plays a greater role. He must ensure that there is no chaos in the court and that various orders are implemented. This is the greatest support for Xiangyang City.

He dispatched sergeants and supplies from all over the Song Dynasty and transported them continuously towards Xiangyang City. Each transport vehicle was equipped with a barrel of oil and flint. Once intercepted by the Mongolian army, he would set the vehicle on fire and never give it to the Mongols.

No one left anything behind. Yang Kang used the entire Song Dynasty to fight against the remaining 50,000 Mongolian troops. As long as he could hold out longer than the Mongols, he would win.

This battle lasted from spring to summer, and finally the Mongols retreated when midsummer entered.

After being unable to attack for a long time, the morale of the Mongolian army was exhausted and there was a shortage of supplies. Wo Kuotai had to leave Xiangyang City with 40,000 exhausted soldiers and return to Mobei. Meng Zongzheng did not pursue the victory because the Song soldiers in Xiangyang City were also exhausted and suffered heavy casualties.

, statistics show that Mongolia suffered 60,000 casualties, while the Song army suffered more than 150,000 casualties.

In this way, Song Dynasty won without victory, and Mongolia was defeated without defeat.

Wokuotai did not send troops to stay in Kaifeng City, but only left garrisons in several important military towns in Hebei. Meng Zongzheng took over the already destroyed Kaifeng City, regained the old capital, and completed what countless generals of the Song Dynasty had not accomplished.

News of the cause spread to Lin'an, and the whole country rejoiced.

Recovering Kaifeng was of great significance to both the ministers and the people of the Song Dynasty. They saw the hope that the country would become stronger. Only a country with hope would continue to exist. Yang Kang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in the palace. He knew that the Song army and

The Mongolian army still has a big gap, but it has made a good start and the future is worth looking forward to.

At this moment, his reputation reached its peak.

On the second day, His Majesty the Emperor took off his mask. He would use his true face to appear in front of the ministers and carry out the big plan that had been prepared for a long time. He was not worried about the reaction in the court. Those ministers already knew about it, and all the opponents

The ministers were demoted for various reasons.

Yang Kang wanted to create the facts first. Once he issued the edict to change the dynasty, those ministers who opposed had only two choices. One was to resist desperately, and the other was to be forced to accept. Those who resisted desperately would be imprisoned, while those who were forced to accept could

Promoted and promoted to show the magnanimity of the new emperor.

He knew that there would be opposition for a long time, but after ten or twenty years, the people would get used to a new dynasty and a new emperor. In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, Han people were forced to shave their hair.

He didn't keep his hair, so the people obeyed, and in the end they were proud of it.

This is the power of habit.

In the summer of 1223 AD, Yang Kang issued an edict, in order to comply with the destiny of heaven, he changed the name of the country to Zhou and the Yuan Dynasty to Dingyuan. This was the first year of Dingyuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Yang Kang became the first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His father Yang Tiexin was honored as the Supreme Emperor.

It is called the Yangzhou Dynasty in history books.

At the same time, on the grasslands of Mobei, the Mongolian Khan Wokuotai fell seriously ill. Due to worry and anxiety, he did not think about food or food on the way back north, and even became bedridden after returning to Qudiao Alan City.

, his complexion was pale and his condition was critical. Even the Mongolian doctors could not detect the symptoms, so they finally had to invite a shaman to perform magic to cure the disease.

The Great Khan was critically ill. Tuo Lei, who was fighting against the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions, rushed back to the city of Qudiao Alan. Once Wo Kuotai died, Tuo Lei was the best candidate to become the new Great Khan of Mongolia. In order to prevent the split of the Mongol Empire, Tuo Lei and all the people

All the Mongolian sect kings were waiting in Qudiaolan City. They were waiting for Wo Kuotai's death.

Witnessed by Tuo Lei and other sect kings, the shaman cleaned Ogedai's body. After a dance and chanting ceremony, the shaman took a cup of water from the water left behind after cleaning the sweat's body and stated that he wanted to

To heal from the profuse sweat, someone must drink this glass of water to replace the profuse sweat. This person must be a prince.

The only prince present at this moment is Tuo Lei. Chagatai did not come to Qudiao Alan City for some reason. The shaman has great influence in Mongolia. In full view of the public, the four Mongolian princes have to stand up, otherwise they will not be able to do anything.

Being willing to suffer in his brother's place would bring his character into question.

So Tuo Lei had no choice but to take the cup and drink it in one gulp.

The shaman's spells were very effective, and Wo Kuotai recovered on the second day. For this, he specially thanked Tuo Lei, and granted Tuo Lei an official position and fief. With great honor, the turmoil subsided, but Tuo Lei

Lei died suddenly on his way back to the Western Regions at the age of twenty-four.

This is Shi Songzhi's plan to Wo Kuotai. Tuo Lei's son is still young. As long as Tuo Lei dies, the Mongolian Empire will be under Wo Kuotai's control, and the poison comes from Gongsun Zhi's hand. That's it.

Tuo Lei, the fourth prince of the Mongol Empire, died under the conspiracy of two Central Plains people.

With the death of Tuo Lei, Lou Shidao, who was beaten and breathless, finally got a chance to breathe. After Tuo Lei's death, Wokuotai wanted to take Tuo Lei's heirs and fief into his own hands, but at this time Hua Hua

Zheng stood up and fought for the right of survival for Tuo Lei's descendants.

She is Temujin's daughter, a member of the Golden Family, and still has influence among the Mongolian kings. Tuo Lei died for Ogodei, or was killed by Ogodei, because of her efforts.

With the support of most of the clan kings, she temporarily controlled the Tolei Khanate on behalf of Tolei as the princess of the Mongolian Empire, waiting for the growth of Tolei's heirs.

At this time, Tuolei had seven sons, among whom his wife, Luhe Tini, gave birth to four sons, namely the eldest son Meng Ge, the fourth son Kublai Khan, the sixth son Hu Xulie and the seventh son Ali Bua.
