In the two hundred years since the Song Dynasty, it had already lost the support of the people.
Even when the Red Scarf Army surged up decades later, they never mentioned the restoration of the Song Dynasty.
The Northern Song Dynasty failed to go south to Xixia, which had a population of less than three million. Instead, it cost the lives of millions of soldiers. There was even a case of Sima Guang and other turbans betraying the country that the soldiers had conquered with their lives.
It has not been able to recapture the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures for many years, and was even ridiculed by the Liao people as the Southern Dynasty and did not recognize it as the orthodoxy of the Central Plains.
As for retaking the Western Regions of the Han and Tang Dynasties, that is even more of a distant dream.
It is indeed very outstanding in terms of culture and economy, but it cannot cover up other things.
During the Jingkang period, the royal family and the turbans engaged in all sorts of saucy practices, and it can be said that they are still the butt of jokes a thousand years later.
The Southern Song Dynasty even abandoned the country and the people of the North. They were completely useless and only wanted to be safe.
There was Qin Hui in the front and Jia Sidao in the back. Jia Sidao was okay. At least he dared to fight the Mongolian army decisively, instead of just bowing down and bowing like those big turbans who wanted to kill him.
At this time, they actually betrayed Li Yunze and wanted to send him to Mengting in order to seek peace.
This kind of arrogant operation has been common for many years, and it has completely destroyed the morale of the military.
It doesn't matter if you work hard to win, the big headscarves can sell out as soon as they touch their lips.
It is not that the two Song dynasties had no chance.
There was Di Qing in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was also Yue Wumu in the Southern Song Dynasty, and even now when it is about to perish, there is also the emergence of Li Yunze.
But the operation of the turbans has not changed in two hundred years.
As long as they can negotiate a peace, any warrior can sell it.
Hearing Li Yunze's roar, the first people to react were He Yuanli and the three thousand northern soldiers.
They were despised and ignored by Song Ting, and Li Yunze had been supporting them with high salaries. Of course, he knew where to stand at this time.
He Yuanli drew out his saber and raised it to the sky: "We, the sons of the Han family, will not follow the Mongolian dogs and horses! We are willing to follow the general to regain China!"
Three thousand people shouted in unison, immediately arousing emotions.
Huang Lingshen, who was standing behind Li Yunze, was shocked when he saw this scene. "You move so fast, what should I say?"
For a moment, he couldn't think of a good way to say it, so he simply tore off his armor and clothes, exposing his left arm. "My sons, the Song Dynasty has been destroyed. Those who wish to be members of the Han family, take off your clothes!!"
Once you take the lead and set an example, the rest will be easy.
The soldiers took off their armor and clothes one after another, exposing their left arms. Then they raised their weapons and shouted, "Song Dynasty is destroyed, restore China!"
This was a complete abandonment of Song Ting and no longer recognized their status.
The roars of tens of thousands of people shook the mountains and fields, and countless birds and beasts fled in terror.
Gundam was frightened by this scene and saluted tremblingly, "National Master."
"Don't call me Imperial Master." Li Yunze simply waved his hand, "We have abandoned the Song Dynasty and do not recognize any official positions in the Song Dynasty."
Gundam was at a loss for a moment, what should I call you?
"Call me King Chuang." Li Yunze raised his head slightly, "I want to lead the Han family to find a way to survive in this dark age!"
King Chuang, King Chuang Li!
He actually wanted to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang's teachings of building walls high, hoarding grain widely, and becoming king slowly.
Unfortunately, the environment Li Yunze faced at this time was completely different from that of Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu can develop his own territory calmly, but here he has enemies everywhere, even the weak Song Ting is now an enemy.
In this case, the only thing you can do is learn Li Zicheng's tactics.
"You go back and tell Kublai Khan." Li Yunze looked at Gundam and nodded slowly, "I know what he wants, so tell him directly that he doesn't have it."
As an emperor and the most powerful emperor in the world, what else can you pursue at this time?
Power, status, and beauty are not important because they are easily available.
What one really wants to pursue must be the elixir of life, and this has been the case since the First Emperor.
The Southern Song Dynasty court was nothing.
Not to mention returning the land south of the Yangtze River, if Li Yunze, who has the power of a god, can really give him the elixir of longevity, Kublai Khan would even be willing to give away the entire land of Yanyun in Central China.
At worst, I'll just call back later.
Li Yunze himself has the miraculous skill of being able to return to his original state every time the world ends, but he cannot teach this skill even if he knows how to teach it.
Or should we stew him and use him as a medicine? Or simply regard him as Tang Monk Meat?
No matter what, what Kublai Khan wanted was naturally impossible.
"Let him wait for me in Dadu. This line, bah!" Li Yunze shook his head, "No need to talk nonsense, just fight."
Gundam looked strange, but finally said goodbye and left.
At this time, several ministers of the Song Dynasty had come to their senses and came up angrily to accuse Li Yunze.
It's nothing more than saying that he turned his back on the big coward.
"I'm just not a Yue Wu Mu, so it's so hard for you to accept it?" Li Yunze naturally understood what the big headscarfs were thinking.
A general should be obedient, and if you are told to die, you must die!
Those who are disobedient should be slandered for eternity and carry the blame forever.
Someone like Li Yunze who directly abandons the imperial court is simply treasonous and will write you to death with a brush!
"Huang Lingshen." Faced with the scoldings and accusations from the bandanas, Li Yunze didn't get angry and just summoned Huang Lingshen who was not far away.
"The end will be here."
"A few of them." Li Yunze pointed at a few turbans advocating for peace. "Pick one out by lot, cut off his ears and rush back to report the news to Song Ting. The others should be buried."
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the general stage was stunned.
This matter.
Li Yunze said no more, turned around and got off the general platform.
After Huang Lingshen came back to his senses, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand to say, "Come here!"
Not to mention a few more tombs among the green mountains and green waters, Li Yunze quickly summoned the generals to discuss the next course of action.
At this time, the total number of soldiers and civilians gathered inside and outside Yunxiao City was close to 40,000.
Among them, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yunxiao City, and Li Yunze brought nearly ten thousand troops when he set off from Guangnan East Road.
After that, he recruited troops and horses along the way. Although there were not many followers, he also recruited tens of thousands of people.
There are also the sergeants and auxiliaries captured after defeating the Mongolian troops under Yunxiao City, as well as the civilians captured by the Mongolian troops to fill the trenches.
There were so many soldiers and civilians who originally planned to go back the same way to find Song Ting.
But now, since Song Ting has been abandoned, of course he will not go there again.
Then there must be an explanation for where to go next.
The terrain here in Yunxiao City is indeed extremely dangerous. Not only is it easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is simply impossible to attack.
But the bearing capacity here is limited. Yunxiao City can only support the Changning Army stationed here, but it will definitely not be enough with so many people.
Moreover, there are only mountains nearby, and there is a severe shortage of food, grass, baggage, and various other materials, so we have to go out.
People were arguing constantly.
He came from the North and wanted to fight back to the North.
From Yunxiao City, I want to go to eastern Sichuan and western Sichuan.
Those recruited from Guangnan East Road and even along the way naturally want to fight back.
China's rural sentiment in this era is unimaginable to future generations.
Everyone couldn't argue, and in the end they could only look at Li Yunze.
"This is nothing to argue about." Li Yunze, who allowed everyone to argue, said, "The Meng Yuan Dynasty is powerful, and we are weak. Holding one city and one place is the way to death, and we must keep moving.
Wandering around, constantly attacking Meng Yuan. We will go wherever you say, it’s just sooner or later.”
It was obvious that everyone was not used to the mobile combat that Li Yunze said. It was just that the strength Li Yunze showed was so magical that they could not refute it.
Again, there is nothing you can say at this time. Only visible benefits can dispel doubts.
"Let's go to Chongqing Mansion." Not surprisingly, Li Yunze's first target was the nearest wealthy place. "That's the core of eastern Sichuan, where a lot of supplies are stored."
There is indeed a large amount of supplies stored, which were originally used to supply the soldiers and horses besieging Yunxiao City for long-term use.
Unexpectedly, Boyan's army was directly defeated, but there was no way to transport the numerous supplies immediately, and he didn't know where to transport them. They were just placed in Chongqing Mansion, waiting for Li Yunze's arrival.
Looking at the thoughtful crowd, Li Yunze exclaimed, "Our future strategy is very simple, just raid everywhere. Loot the Mongolian supplies, destroy the Mongolian soldiers and horses, and strengthen our own strength. When the time is right, we can do big things. This is the only way.
That’s all.”
It has always been the Meng Yuan who has the strategic initiative and can attack wherever they want.
They have always looted supplies and destroyed the defenders everywhere to strengthen themselves.
Now, to borrow a phrase from Liu Che, it means, 'From now on, the offensive and defensive positions will change.'
Tens of thousands of people set off in a mighty manner, heading straight for Chongqing.
Chongqing is a mountain city with dense mountains, winding roads, and rivers running through it. It is a good place for geographical defense.
Moreover, the Mongolian army reacted quickly after learning that Boyan was defeated, and mobilized troops and horses from western Sichuan and other places to defend it.
But even so, he still couldn't hold on.
No matter what kind of walled city pass it is, it cannot withstand C4's critical attack.
After a round of blasting, the intruders swarmed forward and fought everywhere.
After attacking all the way, they had already reached the riverside.
This is the last and most powerful line of defense of the Mongolian army.
"King Chuang." Huang Lingshen, who went to the riverside to investigate, hurriedly returned to the tent. "All the ships along the river have been captured by the Mongols and taken to the other side."
"Where's the ferry?"
"Every ferry is heavily guarded and it's impossible to sneak through."
Li Yunze nodded, indicating that he already knew.
Immediately, an order was issued, "You will send your troops to the ferry shore to cut wood and build rafts."
"King Chuang." Huang Lingshen was a little worried. "The river is very fast, so the raft is of little use. Moreover, the other side is heavily guarded and there are boats patrolling the river, so it's useless."
"The useful thing is to use your department to attract the attention of the other side." Li Yunze smiled with his hands behind his back. "I already have my thoughts, so I just do things on my own."
Huang Lingshen couldn't figure out what else to do at this time, so he had no choice but to accept the order and leave.
When he went out, Li Yunze told He Yuanli to "organize the troops and follow me out of the camp without raising any flags."
For Li Yunze, he has experience in setting up floating bridges.
Isn't it just steel structures worth tens of thousands per section? He has plenty of them.
