Chapter 320 Moving the capital to Jinling

Different forces in the capital have their own plans, and the couple far away in Yanzhou are not aware of it yet.

Unfortunately, human calculations cannot catch up with heaven's calculations, and the rolling wheel of history has already swept towards everyone.

No matter how many conspiracies and tricks are in vain, the chaotic world of chaos and chaos has officially begun!

Longhe first year, February 11th.

The desperate Tatar army captured the Xuande Mansion in North Zhili.

This invasion was premeditated and the border army, which was negligent in its defense, was caught off guard.

The menacing Tatars were high in fighting spirit and concentrated their forces to prepare to attack the prosperous and prosperous capital of the Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, they were only two houses away from the capital, and even the Tatar Khan found the success of the war unexpected.

The powerful officials and nobles who had always been confident and calm finally panicked. While arranging for their families to flee the capital, they asked the emperor in the court to send troops to retreat from the enemy.

Everyone has different opinions on how to fight back, and they argue every day without coming up with a comprehensive strategy.

There are 550,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Northern Zhili, but they appear to be outnumbered in the face of 300,000 Tatars.

Emperor Longhe, who had just got married, was so frightened that he decided to escape as soon as possible with his maidens and courtiers.

In order to save the face of the royal family, he also announced to the world that he would move the capital to Jinling with immediate effect.

350,000 Zhou troops will escort the emperor to leave safely, while the remaining 200,000 troops will stay to resist the Tatars.

Qiao Zheng, the Duke of Qing Dynasty, was responsible for leading the troops into battle, and cooperated with Shao Yankang, the commander of the Northern Zhili capital, to fight against the powerful enemy.

Long and Dibi issued a military order. Even if they died on the battlefield, they must defend the northern defense line and not allow the Tatars to have the opportunity to invade the center or even the south.

He himself hurried anxiously to the southeast, heading straight for the legendary Jinling Mansion where beauties and gold were everywhere.

All other grievances and calculations have been completely forgotten. The new emperor who just took office only cares about his own life and power.

He has no time to care about the common people and the country for the time being. He will wait until the situation stabilizes before discussing those troublesome things.

As long as he is alive, the Great Zhou Dynasty will not perish, and a mere country can be rebuilt anywhere!

Both the government and the public were shocked by Emperor Longhe's decision, and overwhelming panic soon swept across the country. If His Majesty the Emperor, who held military power, had to pack up his bags and run away, then where should the unarmed ordinary people go?

The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly became in chaos. People living in or near the north fled with their families and families. Everyone had heard about the ferocity and terror of the Tatar army, and they did not want to stay and become slaves or "rations" of a foreign country.

!

The new emperor's cowardice and selfishness are also refreshing to people's understanding. He did such a stupid thing just after taking the throne.

"The emperor guards the country's gates" is not just an empty talk. The last monarchs of the previous dynasties were able to sacrifice themselves for the country!

In comparison, Wu Zhongwen was really cowardly and fearful of death. Many civil servants and generals began to worry about the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Wu Zongmin's lineage was really bad. No matter which of his sons had the qualifications to be the emperor, the traitor Song Xi could do it.

The northwest is as stable as Mount Tai, so why did the orthodox royal family abandon the capital in panic?

Countless lessons from history illustrate the truth that once the capital is moved to the south, there will be no chance of return.

The decline of the dynasty all started from this, and it will only lead to the destruction of the country and the family step by step!

Many ministers gave Emperor Longhe advice, hoping that he could hold on to the capital and fight the Tatars to the end. Aren't the Song troops stationed in the Three Jin Dynasties next door preparing for war? The court could set up a trap to make the internal and external enemies kill each other!

Using Song Xi to deal with the Tatars can not only keep the peace of the capital, but also consume the strength of two powerful enemies at the same time. The emperor only needs to reap the benefits. Why doesn't he try to kill three birds with one stone?

Emperor Long He directly refuted all the suggestions and rejected all their bullshit suggestions!

Hasn't he thought of this kind of method? Song Xi is not a fool who can be easily calculated!

The opponent is cunning and good at fighting, and the city is deep. How could he casually step into their trap and willingly retreat and defend the city for the royal family?

He dared to turn a blind eye to the wedding invitation and didn't even send half a perfunctory gift. It was obvious that he didn't care about the royal family and the court, and his arrogant and domineering rebelliousness was clearly revealed!

The Tatar army invaded the north. How could people like Song Xi be completely ignorant?

But so far, the opponent has not been seen leading troops to fight, which shows that he is also planning a plan to reap profits.

Emperor Long He could not wait to die where he was, so he could only lead everyone to move the capital to Jinling. Prince Zhennan had already taken care of everything for him, and he would be able to sleep peacefully when he entered Jiangnan!

The courtiers who had failed to advance the proposal were thumping their chests and feet, and had no choice but to follow the emperor to Jinling. Everyone felt a little at a loss, seeing the decline of the country but being unable to save it.

The only thing we can count on now is the rebels in the northwest. I hope Song Xi can really guard the country. As long as the country of Great Zhou is still in the hands of the Great Zhou people, this land will not be in the most desperate situation.

Wait until the end of the war to plan a counterattack to seize the lost territory from the Song thieves. The other party is just a reckless warrior with a dishonest name and a bad word, and is not qualified to become the co-owner of the nine states in the Central Plains!

On the other side, outside Xuande Mansion in North Zhili.

Several fierce battles are going on.

Qiao Zheng, the Duke of Qing Dynasty, and Shao Yankang, the commander of the capital, divided their troops into two groups, each leading an army of 100,000 to fight against the Tatars.

The two of them had relatively little experience in fighting against the Tatars, so they often felt that they were focusing on one thing at the expense of the other during the battle.

The enemy's troops and horses were more than half that of our own, and the reality of losing more than winning made them even more anxious.

The current situation is very serious. The imperial army has been forced back by the Tatars. If they go further, they will lose the capital. Neither of these two iron-blooded generals are willing to give in in shame!

They must defend the country even if they die, not for their own dignity but also to protect the people leaving the capital! Now they can only try their best to delay the war and leave as much time as possible to the emperor and his family members who have abandoned the city and fled.

The Tatar princes on the front line thought they had a chance of victory, so they accelerated their pace and continued to attack the Zhou defense line. Once this battle was over, they would be able to take control of the north, and then use the capital as a springboard to occupy the vast and fertile Central Plains.

The Tatar Khan sitting at the rear was also very excited, celebrating as if he could foresee the victory. Many people of the Zhou Dynasty were humiliated and killed by them, becoming their slaves and playthings like dogs.

Neither side in the center of the fierce battle noticed that the Song family's army from the northwest had quietly moved.

Song Xi led an army of 100,000 people from central Yunchuan and Sanjin, and divided his troops into two groups to prepare to surround the Tatar troops.

A historical war is about to begin, and the pattern of the Great Zhou Dynasty will soon undergo drastic changes. The era of competition among heroes will begin, and all parties involved in the battle have already taken their positions.

Do you want to become a hero who will be famous throughout the ages, or will you become an unknown cannon fodder with a miserable end?
