Chapter 608 History Is Set

The Mongols invaded the south, Lin'an was broken, and Emperor Deyou surrendered and ordered the world to surrender.

Li Tingzhi guarded Huainan and repelled the enemy several times. He burned the imperial edict and said: I was ordered to defend the city, and I have never heard of the emperor's edict to surrender.

So he defended Yangzhou to the death. When the food and grass were exhausted, the soldiers killed their children for food.

The next year, the remaining forces Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie and others refused to obey the edict and fled to the sea with the two sons of Emperor Duzong. So Li Tingzhi was ordered to respond. Li Tingzhi obeyed the edict and ordered his subordinate Zhu Huan to guard Yangzhou, and he led 7,000 people eastward to the sea and to Taizhou.

However, Zhu Huan opened the city of Yangzhou to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty, and expelled Li Tingzhi's soldiers and his wife and children to the city of Taizhou. Taizhou's deputy generals Sun Gui and Hu Weixiao opened the gate to surrender. Li Tingzhi was desperate and drowned himself. He was captured alive, but refused to surrender and was beheaded.

After that, the entire territory of Song Dynasty was incorporated into the territory of Yuan Dynasty. Wen Tianxiang and others jointly supported King Yi in Fuzhou, changed the reign to Jingyan, established a small court, and continued to flee south.

The Yuan army pursued the young emperor relentlessly. The emperor was young and weak, and died of fright due to the strong wind in Jingao during his escape.

Some people were discouraged and wanted to leave.

But Lu Xiufu said: "One king dies, and there is another king. There were ancient people who achieved revival with only one brigade. Now we have all the officials and tens of thousands of troops. If God does not want to exterminate the Song Dynasty, can't we revive the country with this?"

So they supported King Wei to ascend the throne, changed the reign to Xiangxing, and retreated to Yashan.

Wen Tianxiang opened a government in Jiannan to gather anti-Yuan forces. At that time, Zhao Mengyu, a member of the royal family, recruited thousands of soldiers to join the army and helped Wen Tianxiang recover several counties. The morale of the anti-Yuan army was once high.

However, the defeat of Wupoling, the Song army was annihilated, and Wen Tianxiang and Zhao Mengyu were captured.

The Mongolian army built ships and marched into Yashan. After a month of fierce fighting, they launched a general attack in the rain. In desperation, Lu Xiufu carried the young emperor and jumped into the sea. There were 100,000 floating corpses on Yashan. Suddenly, there was a tsunami and strong winds, which blew off the Mongolian army flag and washed away countless boats. Zhang Shijie took the opportunity to draw his sword and ordered the remaining soldiers to gather together, and personally led more than 70 people to fight back. The desperate army will win, and the desperate counterattack, more than 70 people attacked the 20,000-man army and beheaded hundreds of people.

The Mongolian army thought that the Song army had divine help, so they collapsed and fled for 300 miles. The Song army seized countless spoils.

In the chaos, Zhang Shijie rescued Zhao Mengxu, a member of the royal family, and took the opportunity to support him. When the news came out, the morale of the anti-Yuan army rose again.

Zhang Shijie took the opportunity to raise the banner and gather 20,000 righteous soldiers. The new emperor was eager to recruit talents. At that time, a doctor named Jiang Long came to surrender. Jiang Long was from Lantau Island. He had learned martial arts and medicine since he was a child. He was well-known in Guangdong. He was also good at martial arts. He often used medicinal baths to strengthen his muscles and bones. He was good at using meteor hammers and was known as the "iron hammer doctor". Zhao Mengxu was very happy, so he appointed him as the Palace Guard General and conferred him the title of Zuo Wulang General.

Zhang Shijie also had a keen eye for talent. When he was training soldiers, he saw a soldier under his command break his spear. He was shocked and taught his personal soldiers to test him. He fought dozens of personal soldiers with a long spear. His martial arts were so superb that no one could get close to him by two feet. He was also skilled in archery and horse riding, and could shoot continuously with a three-stone bow. The soldier Mo Qiong joined the army at a young age. It has been several years since then. He has never been injured in hundreds of battles. He was not famous in the past because he obeyed military discipline and never rushed to kill the enemy. No one promoted him, so he was just a soldier for several years.

Zhang Shijie sighed that the pearl was covered in dust, so he promoted him to the deputy commander of the cavalry, gave him the title of General Yingxiang, and conferred him the title of General Yiwulang.

The Song army escorted the new emperor westward. The chief general of the Mongolian army, Zhang Hongfan, ordered people to pollute the water source and poison the well. Many Song soldiers were poisoned, but only Gou Tixia vomited several liters of blood, but he was not dead. Zhang Shijie was very surprised and ordered the military doctor to treat him. Gou Tixia did not want to take medicine and just wanted to eat enough.

Zhang Shijie promised him to eat enough, but Gou Tixia actually ate five dou of rice! The three armies were shocked.

The military doctor said that his physique was different from that of ordinary people, as strong as a bear, and the poisonous water could kill people, but not bears.

Zhang Shijie was impressed by his physique and allowed him to eat enough every day. In the battle in southern Jiangxi, he risked his life and attacked the enemy camp with Moqiong Jianglong. He killed dozens of Mongolian generals with a halberd, broke the Mongolian army flag, and captured Li Heng alive. The new emperor personally appointed him as the commander-in-chief and gave him the title of "General Feixiong". He was conferred the title of General Wu Yilang.

Hearing that he had participated in the Battle of Xiangyang, the new emperor could not help but sigh: If the Xiangyang defenders knew you were brave and let you eat well, how could Xiangyang fall?

The Song army marched westward, and the three generals repeatedly made extraordinary achievements, and they were all enemies of ten thousand people.

In the battle of Huzhou, the Song army was caught up by the enemy because they carried the families of the righteous army, and had to fight with their backs to the river.

In this battle, 10,000 soldiers and civilians fought bravely and resisted the Mongolian cavalry, suffering heavy casualties. When the central army was in the most dangerous time, the Mongolian army almost killed the new emperor's dragon chariot. At that time, a civilian woman Che Yun raised her spear to protect the emperor, killed several enemy generals in the battle, and organized the families of the righteous army to block the cavalry, which delayed until General Feixiong captured the enemy general Zhang Hongfan alive.

The new emperor was moved by her bravery in saving the emperor, and after learning that she was the cousin of General Yingxiang, he took her into the harem.

After that, the Mongols and Song fought several times, all thanks to the protection of their ancestors and the dedication of the three armies, the new emperor finally arrived safely in Diaoyucheng in Shu.

On the first day of April, Zhao Mengxu ascended the throne in Diaoyucheng and changed the reign title to "Hongguang", becoming the 20th emperor of the Song Dynasty.

He made Lady Che the empress, Zhang Shijie the left prime minister, and was given the title of Taifu.

General Feixiong defeated the enemy and cut off the rear many times, and was the first in military merit, but he was wounded hundreds of times and lost several liters of blood. He died of his wounds in Diaoyucheng. Emperor Hongguang appreciated his great merit and posthumously conferred him the title of Duke of the State and the posthumous title of "Liewu".

General Yingxiang Moqiong was the second in military merit and was given the title of Prince's Guard. Emperor Hongguang established the Jinyiwei and made Moqiong the commander of the Jinyiwei, engaging in reconnaissance and arrest, collecting intelligence from all over the country, and reporting directly to the emperor. He had the right to arrest anyone, including royal relatives, and conduct secret interrogations.

Ashu's troops surrounded Diaoyucheng, and all the political orders of the Hongguang Dynasty were within the city, and no one could take the imperial edict out of the city.

So Mo Qiong risked his life to break through the encirclement with the imperial edict, broke through the three armies of Ashu, and passed through five states and fourteen passes. He recruited righteous men and developed secret agents in various places. In two months, he deployed Jinyiwei in all directions and announced the deeds of Emperor Hongguang to the world.

"That's it!"

"History is set..."

Mo Qiong communicated with Jiang Cheng in a small town.

At the same time, the dead Gou Ye was also in Jiang Cheng's harem.

Jiang Cheng looked at his "queen" talking and laughing with Gou Ye, with a calm expression.

"It doesn't matter. I will say whatever you want me to say. Why should I write an imperial edict?" Jiang Cheng was very honest.

After becoming an emperor, his fate did not change. He didn't even have a wife. He was an emperor, but he only had one queen, and she was a fake one.

The ministers asked him to choose a concubine many times, but Jiang Cheng refused with tears.

Che Yun was in charge of the harem, and directly transformed the place that foreign ministers could not enter into into a "containment research center". He brought in a bunch of scientific researchers to travel through time and space, and went in and out of his "harem halls" every day, especially the Qunyu Hall, which was supposed to be where the imperial concubine lived. There was no imperial concubine, and the dark rooms inside were all sophisticated instruments.

The foreign ministers knew nothing about this and thought they were all eunuchs.

As for the so-called Jinyiwei, he could only command a group of people on the surface, and secretly had a secret army to collect intelligence on the containment objects.

Although he, as an emperor, could also work hard to govern, and the members would not stop him, he had no such thoughts at all, let alone the ability.

It was because Mo Qiong had even found his successor. There were a lot of royal family members in Shuzhong. Although many of them were killed, there were still a few royal family members like county marquises who were still alive.

He seemed to be glorious on the surface, but in fact, if there were any containment objects that needed to be tested, it might cost him his life, or make him unrecognizable and unable to see people again.

Maybe one day, a white-haired "eunuch" will come over and say, "Your Majesty, please go to the Qunyu Palace."

The Qunyu Palace is full of instruments, what good can come from going there?

So Jiang Cheng hasn't been involved in government affairs recently. After all, it's just a small place, and the Yuan Dynasty is in its heyday. What else can he do? It's all left to Zhang Shijie and other officials.

In the harem, he frantically studied materials such as "My Survival Essentials", "My Experience as a D-Class Personnel", "The Relationship between D's Will and Survival Rate", "Summary of Experience of Senior D-Class Personnel", and "The Legend of D-50233" in order to survive as much as possible in future containment hazards.
