Du Gao defending the city

This month, Chahan led the Mongolian Eastern Route Army to attack Zhenzhou on Huainan East Route, and was repelled by Qiu Yue, the governor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

On January 8, Wang Ye submitted a memorial: Please provide relief to the border residents in Jianghuai and to arrest thieves. On the 19th, Li Zongmian submitted a memorial: The matters of refugees along the river should be ordered to be properly handled by Huaixi. Any refugees who cross the north of the river should be ordered to be polite to Chen Wei; those who are strong stay in Huaibei will be ordered to recruit officials; those who are unwilling to return to their hometowns and are registered as militias.

This year, the Mongolian Secretariat Province assessed its political achievements for the first time, and Jinan Prime Minister Zhang Rong ranked first.

In January of the first year of Jiaxi (17), Anduer told Kuoduan that "Longxi prefectures and counties are flat and the people are not convinced. Hanzhong is the strife between Longshu, and good generals should be used to defend it." Kuoduan immediately ordered him to go. Anduer guarded Shimen, Mianzhou in the south, and the two rivers of Jiezhou in the west, and the defense of Lizhou Road in the Southern Song Dynasty was solidified.

On the 17th of the month, Wang Wanjin answered. Song Lizong asked, "You are from Huai, and you should know the border affairs." Wang Wan replied, "I am not aware of the military. Lu Zhi of the Tang Dynasty said, 'There is no other way to military tactics, but the relationship between human feelings is the military tactics." He also said, "The word "Yihe" is a rebellion, and the people will ruin the country." Song Lizong said, "The harmony cannot be abolished." Wang Wan replied, "If you set up a special topic, it is not possible, and you must be the scale of war and defense."

On the 1st, Emperor Lizong of Song issued an edict: ordering the Imperial College to publish the "Tongjian Gangmu" written by the hypocrite Zhu Xi.

This month, at the suggestion of Yelu Chucai, Ogedei ordered that governments at all levels be uniformly cast and sealed by the Secretariat, otherwise it would be a usurpation.

On the 1st of the month, Emperor Lizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Yun issued another self-criticism, "I have been transformed and treated the people as my son. However, internal governance is still lacking, and external troubles have not been resolved. Jingxiang has been destroyed by the destruction, and Huai and Shu have been severely disturbed. The people who are displaced on the road are terrible. After the houses are burned, they have no support. The flesh and blood are poisoned, and the men are trapped in the transfer. Alas, why are you innocent? I am not virtuous! Fortunately, the heavens and men still help faith and obedience, and the generals and generals are all working hard to defend. Although the beacon tower has stopped, the wounds have not returned. Millions are used to provide relief to the poor, and rent is only responsible. People who fight bloody battles should discuss good kindness; families who die should add favors. They may gather at times, or they may lose their rules and escape, and all of them will be reborn with the new."

This month, Mengge's western expedition army approached the Qincha tribe in the lower reaches of Yide River. The leader of the Qincha tribe, Ba Chiman, refused to surrender. After joining with Subutai, who captured Buliar City, Mengge launched an attack on Ba Chiman. The wife of Ba Chiman was captured by Subutai in Kuandada Kishai (i.e., Caspian Sea) near the mouth of Yide River, and Ba Chiman escaped into the island. The Mongolian army chased him, and the strong wind blew away the sea water, and the army could cross the sea to land on the island. Mengge was overjoyed, "This is God helping me and opening the way for me."

The Ba Chiman was finally captured on the island. He stood in front of Mengge without kneeling, "I am also the king of a country, how can I survive in vain! And I am not a camel, why should I kneel down?" Mengge ordered the Ba Chiman to imprison him. The Ba Chiman said to the guards, "I fled into the island, what is the difference between fish! But I was still captured, it is heaven! But the strong wind will eventually stop, and the sea water will come back. If you don't return early, you will be flooded sooner or later." Mengge immediately ordered: execute the Ba Chiman and set the army! However, the sea water was still a little faster than the retreat of the Mongolian army. There were floating and drowning people in the Mongolian rear army. After conquering the imperial guards, the Western Expedition army began to enter Russia! The first battle broke through the city of Metzs.

In April, the left clerk Cao Feng submitted a memorial to impeach the three generals on the front line. "Your Majesty was given the responsibility of the three lords, and the arguments of the war were privately contradicted. Shi Song was in Huaixi, and used the theory of Qingyuan. The people suffered the disaster before the enemy arrived. Using the theory of sprinkling flowers, the people wanted to fight but were not allowed to go. This was to harm the country with peace. Zhao Kui was in Huaidong, Dingyuan, and Liuhe was destroyed. Kui closed the city and defended himself without a single army to support him. This was a fear of humiliation. Chen Wei was in Jinling, and the words were open to the open mouth. The sky was too late to warn him. The person who discussed the arguments said that the enemy's troops were difficult to handle, not like the easy control of thieves. Now he asked Your Majesty to strictly order: Shi Song was recovering Xiangyang and defended Jiangling. The manager was in the upper and lower levels. Zhao Kui formed neighbors to defend the whistle and cavalry, and prepared boat troops to defend the sea route. Chen Wei led the Huaixi along the river to stabilize Huaidong. If the enemy could be curbed in autumn and winter, it would serve the court."

In August, Song Zizhen opened a large number of Confucian scholars in Dongping Prefecture on East and West Road in Shandong, and recommended them to Yan Shi. For a time, the people from all over the world came to hear the news, and there were more talents in Dongping than in other towns. Yan Shi took Shang Ting as his master and Wang Pan as his teacher. He also welcomed Yuan Haowen and Yan Fu, Xu Yan, Li Qian and Meng Qi.

Yelu Chucai also suggested that Ogedei value Confucian scholars. "Those who make tools must use good craftsmanship, and those who maintain success must use Confucianism. The career of Confucian ministers has not been accumulated for decades, and it is almost impossible to achieve success." Under his suggestion, Ogedei ordered taxation to send Liu Zhong and others to hold the first exam in the history of the Mongolian Empire. It was divided into three subjects based on classic meanings, verses and essays. This exam won more than 400 Confucian scholars in each group. Although it was not until more than 80 years later that the Yuan Dynasty officially resumed the imperial examination system. But in fact, it had already started as early as the Ogedei period...

Yelu Chucai also suggested unified measurement, establishment of banknote laws, and provisions for all exports... All rules and regulations of the Mongolian Empire began to be gradually established...

In September, Tas led the Mongolian army to cross the Yellow River at Baliu, Weizhou, West Road, Hebei Road, and entered Kaifeng City. The guardian Liu Fu held a wine to welcome him in Daqing Hall. Tas said, "This place is where the former tycoon master lives. My ministers dare not stay here." The banquet was moved to Liu Fu's private residence.

In October, Wen Buhua took Shi Tianze as the vanguard and captured Guangzhou on Huainan West Road, and then attacked Fuzhou on Jinghu North Road. Shi Tianze personally led 40 warriors to break through the river blocked by 000 warships in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Fuzhou then surrendered. Shi Tianze then stood alone and attacked Shouchun County on Huainan West Road. Wen Buhua led a large army to attack Huangzhou. Meng Gong, the god of war in Jiangling Prefecture, was ordered to rescue quickly and repel Wen Buhua. Wen Buhua then withdrew his troops north, joined forces with Shi Tianze, and turned to attack Anfeng Army in Shouzhou!

The Anfeng Army of the Southern Song Dynasty was named Du Gao, who came from a family of criminal prisons. It was purely accidental to go to the battlefield.

The Mongolians besieged the city, and all kinds of traditional tactics were released. No one expected Du Gao to perform amazingly. What can a civil servant do? But the battle weapons on the Anfeng army destroyed batch after batch, and Du Gao could ensure that the city's defense was unremitting! The Anfeng army's walls were broken by the Mongolian army one by one, and Du Gao could make them repair quickly to ensure strength! The Mongolian army was barbaric and sent suicide squads, wearing metal masks, thick armor on their heads, climbing the wall and attacking upwards! Du Gao ordered those who were good at shooting to shoot their eyes with small arrows, making them unable to succeed!

After that, the reinforcements finally arrived! Even the Mongols did not expect that Du Gao, who had been trapped in the city for a long time, could still maintain his strength and morale to go out of the city to fight, send people to attack inside and outside, and defeat the invading enemy! The Mongolian army suffered more than 17,000 soldiers under the Anfeng Army!

The leader of the reinforcements of the Southern Song Dynasty this time was Lu Wende, the commander of Chizhou. This is a person to be introduced in detail! His origin and achievements are very strange! When it comes to origin, it seems that he can't be lowered anymore? A woodcutter! He worked in this profession for a long time, and even after he became famous, some people made fun of his "Black Gray Group" Lu Wende's success, which originated from a wandering by the famous general Zhao Kui...

Zhao Ming General took a look at this dark and strong woodcutter with a pair of super big feet and took him back to the mansion. Generally speaking, this kind of person is only worthy of being a qualified personal soldier? But after Lu Wende entered Zhao Mansion, he immediately stared at a portrait of Confucius on the wall and was stunned. Zhao Ming General laughed and teased him, "This is a saint, why don't you worship him?" Lu Qiaofu replied in a flash, "He has never taught me, why should I worship him?"

It was so simple and pleasing. Lu Wende started, which seemed to be a long time ago, but he actually established a Lu family military group in a relatively short period of time! This group played an important role in the late Southern Song Dynasty because... it was the largest!

This month, the Mongolian army on the west route attacked Kuizhou, the capital of Kuizhou. Monk Hao, a thousand-husband of Mongolia, and nine brave men took the light boat to climb first, galloped in and out of the formation, and the Southern Song army was defeated.

In January, Yelu Chucai recommended Yang Huan, a native of Dongping, Shandong, who was admitted in the first exam of the Mongolian Empire a few months ago, as the head of the tax collection director and the envoy of the Integrity Visiting of Henan Road. After a long war in Henan, it was finally under great control.

On January 1, 18th, Song Lizong issued an edict: "The attendants, censors, ministers, mentors, supervisors, supervisors, former ministers, ministers, officials, officials, officials, officials, officials, officials, officials, officials, officials, officials, officials, officials, and officials, and attendants. They all recommend two people who can be used as generals and talents."

On the 1st, an edict was issued, "Recently, the commander of Jinghu, Shi Song, the commander of Jinghu, and Zhao Kui, the commander of Huaidong, to support Anfeng, can all order the general to go out. The good news came. I am deeply grateful to the scholars to issue an edict to reward the emperor. The meritorious soldiers will be ordered to reward the officials according to the titles. The two cities of Guangzhou and Xinyang should be defeated and restored as they take advantage of the victory."

On the 8th of the month, Zhang Keda, the governor of Qizhou, and Li Shida, the governor of Anqing, were punished for abandoning the city. One was beheaded, the other was removed from the list and was assigned to Leizhou.

On the 11th, Zhu Yangzu, the young minister of Dali Temple, was appointed as the Mongolian envoy.

On the 14th, Emperor Lizong of Song promoted Shi Songzhi to serve as the chief political affairs and supervised the army and horses of Jinghu, Jiangnan and western Jiangnan.

This month, the Mongolian envoy Wang Shi came to the Southern Song Dynasty again and asked the Southern Song Dynasty to pay annual monies, silver and silk each year 00,000. Shi Song was strongly arguing for peace, while the censor Li Zongmian said very much.

Monthly and Day, Zhou Ci said that Zhang Sheng was appointed as the chief and deputy Mongolian Tonghaoye.

On the 15th, Shi Songzhi was ordered to supervise the military horses of Guang, Qi, Huangzhou, Kuizhou, and Shizhou.

In June, a close minister slandered and slandered Yelu Chucai to Ogedei. Ogedei was furious and ordered Yelu Chucai to tie him up! Soon after, it was confirmed that it was a false accusation. Ogedei wanted to loosen Yelu Chucai. Yelu Chucai refused to "members are prime ministers and important ministers of the country. Your Majesty kidnapped his ministers at the time, saying that they were guilty. Now they let them go, which is not guilty. So easily, like playing tricks on children! National affairs are not allowed to be joked." After Ogedei repeatedly accused, Yelu Chucai gave up. He also made ten current affairs: trust rewards and punishments, correct their status, pay salaries, officials and meritorious officials, and the best in the palace. He was all in charge, selected craftsmen, worked in agriculture, sediments, and set up local tributes, and controlled the grain transportation. Ogedei ordered them all to be implemented.

In August, Lu Jun and Liu Zijun, the chief and deputy general of the Taiyuan Road in Mongolia, were punished for corruption. Ogedei angrily blamed Yelu Chucai, "You said that Confucius's way is feasible, and Confucians are good people, why are there such people?" Yelu Chucai replied, "The king and father teach their ministers, and they do not want to cause evil. The Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, the sages are famous and religion, and all those who have countries want it! Just like the sky has sun and moon. How can one lose the way of the world be abolished by one person's mistakes?"

In September, Ogedei had a banquet at the palace for the ministers, and Tas was drunk. Ogedei sighed, "The God of Tas has passed away, it seems that he will not live long." After more than a year, Tas died.

This month, Du Gao was promoted to the magistrate of Luzhou for his military achievements. Luzhou is the capital of Huainan West Road. With a large city, the enemy's power is of course greater! Under the leadership of Chahan, the Mongolian army, which is known as 800,000, came in large numbers with the determination to break through Luzhou!

The Mongolian army piled up a dirt city 60 miles outside the city, installed cannons and trenchers on it, and attacked Luzhou City day and night! At this point, traditional weapons that could be used by human forces such as bows, arrows, swords and guns have failed. Could it be that Du Gao could still send people out of the city, holding a knife in one hand and a shovel in the other, and demolishing the dirt dam?

Du Gao first soaked the grass with oil, ignited it, and threw it at the earthen city, burning the dam. Then he also built a higher earthen dam in the city, and installed artillery and catapults on it. The two armies shot at each other through the city walls. The Song army won a great victory, and the Mongolian army's combat equipment was burned and smashed!

After that, a scene outside Anfeng City reappeared! Du Gao took advantage of the Mongolian army's exhaustion and sent his sons Du Shu, Lv Wende and Nie Bin out of the city to ambush, and the Huaihe naval army chased the Mongolian army dozens of miles and killed more than 6,000 enemies! This was the greatest victory achieved by the Southern Song army since the beginning of the war of Song and Mongolia, and also set a successful precedent for the city's defense! Du Gao's tactics were very similar to Wu Jie, a famous general who guarded Shuchuan in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty...

When the good news came, Emperor Lizong of Song was overjoyed and immediately appointed Du Gao as the commander of Huaixi. All the soldiers who made meritorious service were rewarded.

Du Gao's timely emergence made the Eastern Front of the Southern Song Dynasty safe and also freed up the war god Meng Gong! The Great Song Dynasty's War God could focus on the recovery of Xiangfan and other places on the middle road and Shuchuan and other places on the west road...

On October 6, the Censor Cao Wei, the Censor of the Supervisory Censor, reported that "Mongolia has invaded the south for the fifth year. When they hired envoys, the court believed that peace talks were expected. However, the autumn wind was not high, and Luzhou was surrounded. Where is the harmony? May Your Majesty move those who fear the enemy fear the heaven, those who are easy to believe in harmony believe in keeping with them, and God bless others to help them."

Wu Qian, the general general of Huaidong, submitted a memorial, "About 100,000 refugees from both Huaihuai have been recruited, and they have united thousands of strong people in the 17 fortresses, and can be registered as soldiers. Recently, thousands of people have been transferred to reinforce Luzhou. I hope Your Majesty will give you a re-official position."

During his journey with the army, Yang Weizhong won dozens of scholars from the Southern Song Dynasty and collected Yiluo books. After returning to Yanjing, he discussed with Yao Shu to build Tai Chi Academy and Zhou Dunyi Temple in Yanjing. It was completed this month. Zhou Dunyi's name was passed down to Heshuo, and he was given food to Taoist scholars such as Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Zhang Zai, Yang Shi, You Zuo, Zhu Xi. Zhao Fu and Wang Cui were specially hired as teachers, and selected handsome and knowledgeable students as Taoist students.
