Chapter 557 The Black Death

After the Mongolian army withdrew from Dali, the Song army immediately invaded Kunming. Duan Qing, formerly the Yunnan Provincial Department of Yunnan, was the deputy minister of the Duan family in Mongolia. He was also the heir of the Dali Duan family, withdrew from Dali. He also announced that Dali's restoration of the country called himself the Dali king and tried to call him a vassal to the Song Dynasty in exchange for separatist rule.

But it was rejected by the Song Dynasty.

Then Yang Bangxian, the commander of the Guizhou Central Committee of the Song Dynasty, led a large army to Longwei Pass and threw giant thunderbolt bombs with a catapult. The defenders surrendered that day. Yang Bangxian marched into the city of Dali. During the Mongolian occupation, Duan Zhixing, Duan Shi, and Duan Qing, the three leaders of the Duan family of Duan were flattered by Mongolia and bloodily suppressed the resistance of the people in the territory. In addition, the people's desire for immortals, the Song army no longer fought for it when it was at the city.

Opening the city to welcome the Song army. Duan Shijuhuo, who knew that the situation was hopeless, committed suicide. His tribe surrendered to the Song army. Dali was officially incorporated into the territory of the Song Dynasty and became Yunnan Road. Gao Taixiang's descendants, who fought bloody battles for Dali, were appointed as the Xuanfu Envoy of Yunnan Road. Yang Bangxian moved to Kunming and was appointed as the Yunnan General. He was no longer a military frontier. The chieftains in various places, including the Yang family of Bozhou, who belonged to Yang Bangxian, began to change their territory and return to the relocation.

Because Dali was still a territory of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan sent an envoy to condemn him, but was expelled from Yang Feng.

In the same year, Goryeo was called a vassal of the Song Dynasty.

But then, driven by Kublai Khan's order, of course, mainly to loot Goryeo, the Huli Bing Road teams led by Shui Dada attacked Goryeo and drove straight into Pyongyang. The King of Goryeo sent envoys to ask for help from the Song Dynasty. During the Song army mobilized troops to prepare for reinforcements, Shui Dada broke through Seoul, and Goryeo King fled to Ganghua Island again. Then the Song army landed in Incheon, and at this time the heavy infantry of the Song army, who had almost completed the plate armor, were in the field by the Han River.

The cavalry of Shui Dada in the battle were defeated and then recaptured Seoul. Next, the Song army, together with the Goryeo Servant Army, took three years to drive Shui Dada out of Goryeo and attacked the lower reaches of the Songhua River occupied by the latter. Shui Dada asked to surrender but was rejected by the national army. After that, the Song Dynasty continued to fight with the Huliga tribes in the northeast for ten years, until it completely swept the entire south of Heilongjiang. Although some of the remaining fled to the north of Lingbei, it was no longer worth mentioning.

During this period, the Song Dynasty navy crossed the sea to capture Sado Island in Japan, and also a large area of ​​land in the Izumi area of ​​Wako Izumo. Due to the discovery of gold and silver mines in the two places, the Japanese princes' coalition forces led to a large-scale attack.

However, the latter eventually lost a crushing defeat.

In this ten-year war, because Goryeo was always the most important base, the country was completely controlled by the Song Dynasty. During the 30th year of Harmony, the National Army ordered the return of various vassal states, King Goryeo, King Qi, King Annan, King Chameng and other vassal kings who were conquered in the south and embezzled to Nanjing. However, during this long war, the Song army never crossed the line between the Taihang Mountains and the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountains, but only forced the Guo family and the Di family to surrender the Han army, and the Mongolian army abandoned Luoyang and retreated westward to the Wushan Mountains. There was no large-scale war between the two sides, including in the northeast, the main force of the Mongolian army did not participate in the war, and even the Mongolian troops in western Liao moved west to the Western Regions, but the Song army did not cross western Liao.

The strange state of disagreement between the two sides continued until the 28th year of harmony, that is, 1292.

The national teacher personally fought for 28 years.

The national army, which had not taken action for nearly 30 years, led a whole army of cavalry, and broke through a series of dangerous passes westward from Luoyang almost like a bamboo shoot and broke through the last line of defense of Tongguan to Dadu. The people of Guanzhong who had been looking forward to the king's army day and night were cheering to greet him. Although Kublai Khan, who had abandoned Dadu and fled to Longyou as quickly as possible, was eventually caught by the national army in Fengxiang. Kublai Khan attempted suicide and was captured by the national army. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of Song troops attacked from Hebei, Sichuan and western Liaoning swept through Hanzhong, Guanzhong, Shanxi and Xuanda areas with a destructive force. Han troops in various places surrendered one after another. In this three-year attack, the border line of the Song Dynasty advanced to Yumen Pass in one fell swoop, but at this time the national army ordered the attack to stop.

Kublai Khan died of illness on his way to Nanjing.

Kublai Khan's grandson Tiemuyi inherited the throne in Xijing and changed the country's name to Mongolia again. Then Song and Mongolia re-conflict, Mongolia called the vassal of Song and Song and Mongolia. The restoration of peace was even more friendly than before, and the trade between the two sides was prosperous, and a large number of armour, including plate armor, flowed into Mongolia through trade.

Relying on the selfless support of the Song Dynasty and the tribesmen who fled from the east to the Western Regions, Tiemuer quickly annexed the Chahatai Khanate and the Il Khanate. After three years of war, Tiemuer forced the Jin Horde to surrender. Tiemuer unified Mongolia. The new Mongolian Empire spanned Eurasia, Persia, Afghanistan, the upper reaches of the Indus River, the Caucasus and Eastern Europe, all under the control of this huge empire. Immediately afterwards, Tiemuer defeated Mamulik with a full set of heavy cavalry and gunpowder crossbows, and once again bloody the Joda and Damascus. The waters of the Tigris River were stained with blood. A Mongolian cavalry even went south to sweep the peninsula. The main force of the Mongolian army continued to move forward. Mamulik defended Jerusalem to the death, but in the end it was impossible to defeat the giant thunderbolt bombs thrown by the catapult.

Jelualem fell.

The Mongolian Iron Cavalry crossed the Sinai Peninsula and officially set foot on the Nile Delta. Although the coalition forces of various North African divisions were brave and good at fighting, the gap in strength could not be made up. With the Mongolian cavalry as the core, the Persians, Turks, Indians, and even the Slavs in Eastern Europe swept across the Nile Delta. There were millions of corpses floating on the Nile River, and less than a thousand people were killed in Cairo. However, there were too many dead bodies in Alexandria, which eventually created a terrifying plague, and even forced the Mongolian army to retreat to Jerusalem and cut off the land passage of the Sinai Peninsula because there were a large number of doctors arrested from the East in the Mongolian army. Although this plague called the Black Death also caused certain losses, the efforts of these doctors and climate reasons were quickly controlled.

But no one knew that more than a dozen European merchant ships that had rushed from Alexandria had already sailed to major ports in Europe with the plague virus.

Because of the plague in Egypt, the Mongolian army had to turn the target of the attack south. This locust-like legion swept along the Hanzhi Mountains to Yemen, with almost no animals left along the way, and crossed the sea in Yemen to control Somalia.

Just as the Mongolian army swept the Arabian Peninsula on the west side, another Mongolian army also entered the Delhi Sultanate again. The latter's bloody battle was still not as good as the Mongolian cavalry that was close to the late medieval level. The Mongolian heavy cavalry, wearing the Song-Element Armor purchased by looting wealth, once again exploded the elephant formation with gunpowder, and then swept across the upper reaches of the Ganges. Not only did they once again capture Delhi, but they also fought along the Ganges to Agra. In addition, this time, the Mongolian army left before the killing was finished. The Khan of the former Chaha Tai Khanate who commanded the Indian War Zone rebuilt the Chaha Tai Khanate in Lahore, but they still paid tribute to Tiemuyi. Tiemuyi, who was busy preparing for the Western Expedition to Europe, chose to forgive him.

But then Tiemuyi found that he could not go west to Europe.

Because the Black Death is sweeping across Europe.

Eight European merchant ships returning from Alexandria returned to their hometowns, namely Barcelona, ​​the capital of the Kingdom of Aragon, Marcelona, ​​Genoa, Naples, Venice, Constantinople, and two other ships arrived in London and Hamburg. They passed many different ports along the way. Then, like those girls who originally waved their hands to welcome them at the docks, they waved their sinful hands and kept scattering pollen from the harbors one by one, and the shadow of darkness began to spread from the coast to the depths of the European continent.

When Yang Feng learned about the news, it was already two years later.

When he knew that the Black Death in Europe broke out, the Song army, which had entered the firearm era, broke out without hesitation and squeezed the Mongolians into the epidemic area with the most fierce offensive. After the Song army continued to resist the Song army for a year, the final failure of the year, Tiemuyi certainly would not flee to Europe where the Black Death was flooded. He led the main force of the Mongolian army to abandon the western capital and fled south, and was completely expelled from the river during the three-year pursuit of the Song army. Tiemuyi led the main force to the south to fertile land of the Crescent Moon, and joined the Mongolian army there to use the Persian Plateau as a barrier to block the Song army, and another Mongolian army south.

The Xiahe Duwa met. The former always ruled the Persian plateau, the Fertile Crescent Land and Egypt for decades. However, because of internal contradictions, just like the Great Food Empire, it eventually collapsed and turned into several small countries. Among them, the fifth-generation grandson of Kublai Khan, Toyn Timur, led a tribe to the prairie in central Africa, conquered a large number of black tribes and established a slave empire, which lasted for hundreds of years, and even established friendly relations with the Song Dynasty to engage in slave trade. Their life was not bad because slavery maintained the purity of bloodline to the greatest extent.

As for the Chahatai Khanate, they, like the Mughal Empire in history, eventually defeated India into hundreds of small countries through a hundred years of war with the Delhi Sultanate.

Then it was colonized by the Song Dynasty.

The Jin Horde was eventually destroyed by the Song Dynasty, but because of the Black Death in Europe, the Song army did not continue to move forward. After all, Yang Feng could not vaccinate the entire Song army or get a bunch of antibiotics.

As for Europe, they had to continue to struggle with the destruction of the Black Death, until Yang Feng left this time and space, it was still a forbidden area. At that time, this terrifying plague had actually lasted for a hundred years. It was estimated that they could still struggle for a hundred years. In addition, it was not just the Black Death, but also some other inexplicable plagues were also constantly breaking out. Later, even the Mongols in West Asia and North Africa regarded Europe as a forbidden area.
