Chapter 541 Welcome back to the embrace of the people

In the end, Shi Tianze performed a perfect suicide for the men and women with resentment. When he fell down with the blood sprayed from his neck, the battle in Jinan was basically over.

Of course, the hunt is still going on.

Not only Yang Feng's expeditionary army, but in fact, the 50,000 troops of Li Yuan's troops had already begun to chase with great momentum, including the Liu Sijing's troops who turned against each other in the battle, and the Han Anshi's troops who were beaten by Yang Feng, were also quickly involved in this pursuit purely to expand the results of the war. Moreover, as the pursuit continued, more and more Han troops chose to turn against each other, such as Zhang Rong's son Zhang Bangzhi, Wanhu, Pizhou, Zhang Bangyan and others. At this time, the Marquis of Jinan was already over 80 years old and it was useless. His eldest son Zhang Bangjie had long died, and his eldest grandson Zhang Hong inherited his title. Before Li Yuan attacked Jinan, Zhang Hong knew that he could not defeat the enemy and had to leave the city and flee. The army of the Zhang family was all in the hands of his uncles. They were all stationed in the states on the border of Song and Meng in the south. At this time, their deficit meant that the Marquis of Jinan, the Marquis of Jinan, as a whole.

As for how Kublai Khan dealt with Zhang Rong, who was retired in Yanjing, and Zhang Hong, who had just gone to see him...

Loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved both!

In short, compared with a great cause such as adapting to the destiny, his father and nephew, who were over 80, had to sacrifice their lives. The Zhang Bangzhi brothers and brothers joined the ranks of expelling the Tartars with nearly 20,000 troops from the Zhang family...

"Welcome to the embrace of the people!"

Yang Feng said solemnly.

Kneeling in front of him were the Zhang brothers and Liu Sijing, and there was also Meng De, another ten thousand household in the Zhang family, and Meng Yi, his son. These four families controlled all the troops of the Zhang family. Among them, Meng De and his son participated in the Battle of Ezhou and were quite familiar with Yang Feng. The surrender of the Zhang brothers was probably related to their exaggeration of Yang Feng. Of course, the main reason is that their family business is in Jinan. For these guys, the death of several hostage sons is not worth mentioning. The most important thing is to preserve the family's property. Zhang Rong had more than 40 grandsons, so what's the big deal if he died ten or eight?

"Immortal Lord, my disciple is ignorant and has not been able to welcome the Immortal Lord as soon as possible. I also ask the Immortal Lord to give him a crime!"

Meng De said carefully.

Among them, he is old, and he is actually from the same generation as Zhang Rong, and he is already gray-haired. This man is actually a civil servant and a county magistrate when the Jin Dynasty was destroyed. It is considered half a century to follow Zhang Rong. It can be said that he is an old minister of the Zhang family.

"Absolute you without guilt!"

Yang Feng waved his hand and said.

"I don't know how the Immortal Lord can arrange disciples, etc."

Meng De asked immediately.

He actually asked how to divide the territory in the future. Before, the Zhang family was the same Shihou as Li Yan. Zhang family controlled Jinan Road and Li Yan controlled Yidu Road. There was no shortage of grievances. Now we have indeed surrendered. We can listen to Li Yan, but how do we calculate our territory? The reason why we surrendered was to give you face to the Immortal Lord, not to be afraid of Li Yan. If Li Yan really wanted to annex us, we wouldn't just mess with it. In short, you have to uphold justice for us next.

"Li Yu has already expressed his condemnation to the Song Dynasty. You will be the ministers of the Song Dynasty in the future. Your official title will be decided by the Song Dynasty court, so I will not be able to intervene."

Yang Feng said.

He doesn't care about this!

As an immortal, he cannot make his statement too clear.

Because if he gave Jinan to the Zhang family, then Li Yan would definitely be dissatisfied. Li Yan largely made Kublai Khan rebel for the purpose of grabbing territory. How could he spit out what he had eaten? If he gave the territory to Li Yan, then the Zhang family would definitely be dissatisfied. This is their territory. They surrendered with 20,000 troops. They must take care of their relationship, right?

Since this is the case, let Jia Sidao do it well.

Jia Sidao knew how to control the north, and would definitely not allow Li Yan's family to dominate, and would definitely support the Zhang family. In this way, Li Yan was dissatisfied with Jia Sidao or the Southern Song court. They were all caused by this treacherous minister, Zhao Yun was ignorant, and the Immortal Lord was still good...

Well, this is the way to be the king.

Since this is the case, the Zhang family's gang would not say much. Then they gathered a thousand elite cavalry to follow the Immortal Lord.

This cavalry was led by Liu Sijing, and this guy is also a famous general. In history, even Kublai Khan's personal guards' commander, he could be the general of Kublai Khan's guards, and he must be able to fight. He led the Zhang family's cavalry to follow Yang Feng to kill Yanjing. In this way, Yang Feng's subordinates expanded to 4,500, and all of them were cavalry. Especially many people replaced the captured Arab horses or Central Asian horses, which could barely look like a real iron cavalry.

The other troops stayed and followed Li Yu to attack Dongping.

At this time, Yan Zhongfan of the Yan family in Dongping, Guide Dijia led his troops to defend in the mountains. Next, Li Yu's main opponent was these two, and his main target was Dongping of the Yan family.

Yan Shi, the magistrate of Changqing County, who started at the end of the Jin Dynasty, led an army to resist stubbornly under the attack of the Red Coat Army and the Mongolian army. Later, he surrendered to the Southern Song Dynasty with great face, but when he was besieged by the Jin army, the Southern Song Dynasty refused to save him. In anger, he simply surrendered to Mongolia with 300,000 households in his eight prefectures. At this time, Yan Shi had long died. The Yan family was dominated by his eldest son Yan Zhongji, but Yan Zhongji was in Kublai Khan, and Yan Zhongsi, his two younger brothers Yan Zhongfan and Yan Zhongsi, each with one thousand households. Yan Zhongfan was on the north road, and Yan Zhongsi was on the south road to attack Li Gaoge of Xuzhou with Guo Kan. According to Yang Feng's estimate, the Yan family probably would not really resist.

Even if he doesn't go, these marquises will not be loyal to the Mongols as long as they keep their territory.

And so is Guide's Di Jia.

However, it is not a sure thing. Although Di Jia is the Guide Di family, his family is actually in Baoding. The more north the Shihou goes, the more loyal he is to the Mongols. They are not Li Zhangyan and others. They have been separated from the Central Plains regime since the Five Dynasties. More than three hundred years have passed, and they have no feelings for the title of Han people, and psychologically they are even more towards the Hu people.

In short, it is hard to confirm whether Li Yan's attack will be as powerful as a storm. What he can be sure of is that Li Yan will definitely win.

Because Jia Sidao couldn't sit still at this time.

"Master, what is this?"

In the quiet tent in the middle of the night, Li Yao, who was wearing only a tulle, pressed on her master's shoulder and asked curiously.

The latter is constantly busy.

In front of him was a strange box, with a strange thing on his head, and his right index finger pressed on a strange metal piece, constantly pressing it. Every time he pressed it, a strange sound made in the strange thing on his head...

Well, she didn't know it was a telegram.

Yang Feng made it himself and used the old electronic parts sent to him by Xiaoqian. Currently, three have been made in total, one in him, one on the black ship, and one in his three apprentices, respectively, operated by him, Xiaoyu and Bi Niang. Although the power is very small, in this era without any signal interference, it is enough to ensure that his normal contact within a range of thousands of kilometers. In fact, no matter how far it is, it can barely make do with it. Shortwave is nothing more than the size of an antenna.

Yang Feng ignored this female apprentice who was so strong that he actually fought with him, and then continued to send out Morse codes from his female apprentice who was able to get up.

In the distant palace of the God of the Lin'an Haotian, his three disciples were constantly drawing dots and lines on the paper. Jia Sidao was watching nervously. In just over a dozen minutes, the communication across a thousand miles was completed. Bi Niang breathed a sigh of relief and took off her headphones, then took a book of the sage edicts, and began to decipher the code to it, and while deciphering it, he told Jia Sidao.

"Master means that all parts of Shandong are ruined. Even if the court obtains it, it cannot increase any taxes. Instead, it must be fed with money and grain. Since this is the case, it is better to completely transform the northern vassal states. In addition to the six prefectures of Lai Ninghai, Yi and Juhai, all other prefectures are the fiefs of the King of Qi. All the fiefs in the fiefs are independently compared with the vassal states. In addition, the four generals of the Zhang family are each county princes, each in Hebei as their fiefs, but they need to rob them themselves. The original Jinan Road was set up as Jinan Prefecture, with Shandong East and West Roads merged into Shandong Road, and Jinan Prefecture was the capital of Shandong Road. Li Yan was the appeasement and establishment commander of Shandong Road. Officials who are not the fiefs of the kings are nominated to the court to be appointed by the court, but the court can also be appointed directly when needed."

She said slowly.

"Everything depends on the national teacher's wishes!"

Jia Sidao said immediately.

Shandong's strategic significance for the Southern Song Dynasty was only that it could threaten the Huaihe River from the flanks, and further threaten Yanjing. It restrained the attacks of the Huaihe River during Mongolia, so that the Southern Song Dynasty, which could only be passively defended, could gain strategic initiative.

But Shandong itself is not of high value.

Even during the Northern Song Dynasty, Shandong was not a wealthy place. After more than a hundred years of war, the land was deserted and the population was sparse. It is estimated that the taxes collected in the whole Shandong were not as good as those of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Famines often occur. In such places, the courts could not collect taxes, and even had to pay for money to support them. Especially if the warlords were taken into account as an official army, it would be a heavy burden. Therefore, it would be best to govern the vassal states and control themselves. If the court is obedient, the court would reward them, and if they were not obedient, they would die by themselves. Anyway, the imperial army could use Shandong as a base when needed.

Yang Feng’s arrangement is very reasonable.

The vassalization guaranteed to satisfy the warlords, and the court prefectures and counties mixed with it also guaranteed the imperial control over there. Anyway, the court's request for them was to restrain the Mongolian army from the flanks. If Song and Meng continued to confront each other, they would be the best support of the Southern Song Dynasty. If the Southern Song Dynasty could defeat Mongolia and regain the Central Plains, then the real control of Shandong was just to summon vassal ministers to the court. At that time, their strength would not dare to resist. In Jia Sidao's mind, these things in the future would be not only Shandong, but also if the Yan family surrendered in the next place, they could also be dealt with in this way, allowing them to be the northern barrier of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Southern Song relied on the Huaihe National Defense Line as the second barrier and the Yangtze River as the third barrier. Both the court and the gentry could comfortably enjoy the peaceful and prosperous era in Jiangnan under such three levels of protection.

Of course, he didn't know that Yang Feng would soon make Shandong rich, and the warlords after the enfeoffment would not take the imperial court seriously. They would only recognize the national teacher who brought them everything.

"In addition, I reported to the national commander that Xia Gui's navy is on standby in Huai'an and has been replaced with the banner of the volunteer army. You can go north to Xuzhou at any time!"

Then Jia Sidao said.

Bi Niang immediately started sending reports.

In the tent thousands of miles away, Yang Feng quickly received and translated the telegram, and then sent back two words: "Attack!"

After finishing, Yang Feng took off his headphones, sat on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief. He meditated on the future conspiracy with a sinister smile. Then he turned around and looked at the pretty face on his shoulder. Suddenly, he twisted his body and threw her onto the felt blanket amid the screams of Li Yao...

Two days later.

The Lianghuai Navy led by Xia Gui himself set off from Huai'an and headed north along the Yellow River under the banner of the Song Dynasty People's Volunteer Army.

But he was still one step late.

The Mongolian army led by Guo Kan captured Xuzhou and captured Li Gao Ge.

However, Li Gao's younger brother Li Luma led his army to withdraw from Xuzhou and met with Xia Gui. At the same time, the news of Li Luma defeating the north in the north and attacking Dongping reached Xuzhou. Yan Zhongsi, the main force of Guo Kan's subordinate, had to lead his troops to abandon Guo Kan and return to rescue Dongping. In addition, the Mongolian navy was defeated by Xia Gui with fireballs and arrows on the Yellow River, and Guo Kan was unable to defend Xuzhou alone. In Xia Gui, Li Luma, and Li Luma, and Li Luma, who were also from Yizhou to advance, he had to abandon Xuzhou and retreat to Guide.

Xia Gui occupied Xuzhou and went north along the Si River with the navy.

When he arrived in Jeju, Li Yu on the northern line captured Tai'an Prefecture, and the Yan brothers in Dongping surrendered, Di Jia had to flee west in a hurry. Li, Zhang and Yan's three families joined forces to sweep western Shandong. Xia Gui used the navy to cruising Sishui and transported grain from the south to north to support Li Yu and other troops. Because the famous Wang Wengan refused to go south to reinforce under the pretext of Yang Feng approaching, Guo Kan and Di Jia were unable to resist and had to retreat to the front line of Kaifeng and Guide, and actually gave up the entire territory east of the Yellow River.

Fortunately, the main force of the Mongolian army, which was reinforced, arrived.

But it's useless when it comes.

Because Yang Feng was in Jiangling, that is, modern Dezhou, and advanced to the base camp of the Shijiajia.

He had just led his army to defeat Hunduhai, the supporter of Alibuge, for Kublai Khan, in Longyou, and had to lead the Mongolian army in Guanzhong to urgently reinforce Lian Xixian, who was in the eastern front. While distributing some forces to reinforce Guo Kan, he personally led the elite crossing the Yellow River to reinforce the Shijia. At the same time, Wulianghetai led the main force of the Mongolian army to move south from Yanjing, and Kublai Khan also hurriedly pardoned Wang Wengan for escape at the last minute. After all, he was in Daming, and once he turned to Yang Feng, he could attack Lian Xixian west at any time. In this way, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry from one south and one north, one north, killed Zhending like two big pliers, preparing to work with the Dong family of Zhending's Shijia to strangle Yang Feng, the monster.
