Mu Huali woke up very early.
The house where he stayed was naturally a specially selected mansion with beautiful concubines and servants to serve him. On the three-legged Longquan porcelain incense burner in the room, wisps of clear smoke emitted from the precious sandalwood; the foot rest on which he placed his feet was made of dragon's ivory; half of the circle around the bed was a plum blossom tent and a jade screen; and facing the bed was On the walls, there are also handwritten treasures from famous scholars in the Southern Song Dynasty.
If Mu Huali knew Chinese characters, he would have known that it said: "Piles of Yanshi handrails and jade are piled up, and Liutang hugs the city from the north to the south. There is still Longjin water left in the west mountain, which is reserved for the officers and soldiers to drink when the horses come."
The place where Mu Huali stayed was by the Longjin River. And the army of the Great Mongol Kingdom is now in Yinma Zhongdu, and it seems that it is an official army rather than a Tatar army. The person who chose this painting not only knows the art of flattery, but is also an elegant person.
It's a pity that this whole set of thoughts is completely useless in front of Mu Huali.
Mu Huali is a pure Mongolian with a strong and simple temperament. He is not good at false writing and does not understand false writing. He slept in this room for less than two hours, but he felt it was not as comfortable as a tent. So after he woke up, he simply walked to the window and stood still. Only when he vaguely heard the sounds of crying, shouting, running and chasing from the outside world did he feel much better.
The cool breeze blew against his face under the eaves, and what penetrated his nostrils was the smell of smoke and smoke.
He was on the second floor of a building. The building was very high, so he could see under the twilight sky the spider-web-like streets and alleys in Zhongdu City, as well as mansions and shabby houses divided into separate areas. However, at this time, most of the mansions and shabby houses were swept away by the Mongolian cavalry or the men of Shuhu Gaoqi. At this moment, there were still groups of soldiers roaring past in the street, leaving behind flames that were difficult to extinguish or large pieces of broken walls.
In the streets and alleys, you can vaguely see corpses scattered here and there.
In front of a certain mud house, a soldier yelled a few times. Finally he got impatient, kicked open the door, and pulled out a woman from inside. The woman struggled and cried, but because her ankles were grabbed, her hands dug into the gravel on the ground in vain, and she was quickly taken away by the soldiers.
There were also Mongolian cavalry singing hoarse and majestic songs, passing in groups on the road in front of the tall building. Each Dong person led several horses, and immediately laid out huge sacks. The sacks were bulging, and some were still moving. It was unknown what was inside.
"Too slow." Mu Huali muttered.
He violently pushed away a half-naked woman who wanted to come closer to serve her, and strode down the stairs.
Ever since Genghis Khan divided the grasslands into thousands of households and issued Zhasa, the Mongolian cavalry have been very particular about enforcing orders and prohibitions. But in the middle of last night, he asked two captains to take advantage of the time when Shuhu Gaoqi was trapped in the palace to allocate manpower to collect the rebels in the city. As a result, until now, the rebels were still rebels, and there was no sign of anyone being included. sign.
On weekdays, when Mu Huali gives an order and no one responds within ten fingers, he will be punished with murder. He was also angry at this moment, but he didn't consider killing anyone.
After all, this is Zhongdu, the capital of the Great Jin Kingdom! It is the capital of the Great Jin Kingdom that has suppressed the Mongolian Plateau for decades, boasts billions of inhabitants, and has endless military and financial resources!
Many Mongolians who entered the city at this time had ancestors who had respected the rule of the Jurchens and fought in battles for the Jurchens, sacrificing their lives in exchange for pitiful rewards. Now, the entire Kingdom of Jin has finally been trampled under their feet, so what if they indulge a little bit? Could it be that if they move slower, Shuhu Gaoqi and that fellow come out of the palace in a disorderly manner, and still dare to fight for power with the Mongols?
No, no, not the entire capital. At this time, several city gates in Zhongdu were still under the control of the defenders. But Mu Huali is not very worried.
It was not easy to mobilize troops and horses at night, and Mu Huali failed to launch a fierce attack, allowing them to survive until now. There is a city gate in the north, and it seems that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom was trapped there. We attacked it several times and were trapped and killed many people. That would be more interesting. Going to see what the emperor of the Jin Kingdom looked like in a while would gain some knowledge.
What really worried Mu Huali was outside Zhongdu City.
First, after the Great Khan was defeated, he directly led his army to retreat northward. This is an inevitable choice, because it is necessary to make some personnel adjustments before the news of the defeat spreads across the grassland, and to control some tribes that may be shaken in advance, in order to avoid greater losses in the future.
However, the Qie Xue who came to deliver the message did not make it clear how much the Great Khan's troops had suffered, and whether the Great Khan himself was in serious condition, and Mu Huali had nowhere to ask now.
Mu Huali has no idea what the situation of Guo Ning's troops, who defeated the Great Khan, is now.
The sentry cavalry he sent to Bazhou Triangle Lake to investigate failed to return several times in a row. This should prove that Guo Ning's heavy troops are still in Bazhou, so that the sentry cavalry was lost. But Mu Huali is still worried. He always felt that this terrible enemy who defeated Tuo Lei and Yin Chen's consort and killed Zhebei would definitely achieve something after a great victory.
What will he do? Taking advantage of the victory, go south and sweep across Hebei? Are they the defeated soldiers who bravely pursued the Great Khan? Was it to contact the subordinate soldiers on Beijing Road and induce them to rebel? Or come to Zhongdu?
In the direction of Zhongdu, Mu Huali has already made active responses.
Although most of the troops have rushed into Zhongdu, the outside of the city is still heavily guarded, with sentries from far and near. Even if they couldn't achieve the kind of cover that water couldn't penetrate two days ago, at least they could immediately detect the movement of large groups of people. Because Mu Huali was well aware of the scale of the Ding Navy fleet, he even designated people responsible for monitoring along the Lugou River and Lushui River.
First of all, we must detect and determine the movement of the navy in advance. Secondly, we must try our best to unite the troops and horses, and mainly turn against the guests in the capital to wait for the strong enemy. This was the reason why Mu Huali was dissatisfied with the slow movement of the two Qianhus.
But the problem is not big. After all, Bazhou's failure happened four days ago.
Mu Huali closed his eyes for a moment and simulated the geographical situation near Zhongdu in his mind. Careful calculation of the movement trajectory of the navy can reveal that this army set out from Yijin Pass in Bazhou twelve days ago and marched for five days to Liangxiang. On that day, it had its first battle with the Qie Xue army led by Shiji Hutuhu, and the next day They quickly withdrew their troops and three days later entered the area between Yongqing and Gu'an north of Bazhou, where they fought fiercely with the main force of Genghis Khan.
In such a short period of time, two consecutive large-scale fierce battles, coupled with a forced march of more than 300 miles, made even the most tenacious people need a rest. Mu Huali felt that no matter what Ding Haijun wanted to do, they would have to rest in place for at least three days; then, if they chose to come to Zhongdu, they would still be at least three days away.
Three days is not long, but it is enough for Mu Huali to completely control Zhongdu and form a large army in Zhongdu.
In the past few years, Mongolian warriors had been attacking the Jurchens' cities again and again. Now that the offensive and defensive situation had changed, Mu Huali wanted to see what Ding Hainan could do. Although he has little experience in defending a city, he has fought and defended a certain stronghold on the grassland many times. In his expectation, when the Mongolian warriors garrisoned the heroic city with a huge force, and there were capable cavalry that could crush the enemy in the wilderness, it was simply not something that the navy could shake.
In the final analysis, the reorganization of troops should be done more quickly.
At least for today, the generals under Shuhu Gaoqi must be controlled, and then capable Mongolians can be arranged to be their officers. After the city walls are completely controlled, defense tasks will be assigned early tomorrow morning. By that time, even if the news of Genghis Khan's defeat is no longer a secret among secrets, the Mongolian soldiers will have a strong city as a basis and the huge benefits obtained in the city as comfort, so the extent of their wavering will be very limited.
What happened next was that there were 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, no less than 100,000 troops attached to the Beijing Road were on the periphery, and nearly 5,000 Mongolian elites served as the backbone of the offensive and defensive forces.
Enough, enough. Zhongdu Road is a very narrow place, with a depth of no more than 300 miles from east to west, north to south. With such a huge force stationed, no matter who comes, they can't even think of moving it at all. And the Great Khan will definitely be able to reintegrate the grassland. The day he comes back will be the time to take revenge on Ding Haijun and Guo Ning!
Thinking this, Mu Huali quickened his pace and headed outside.
This is the truth, but driving your subordinates is like driving a sheepdog on the grassland. You have to give them meat and whip them. The two captains did not do their job well, and a scolding was inevitable. This was also an opportunity for Mu Huali, a left-wing leader of 10,000 households, to establish his authority.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a lot of people making a lot of noise in the south of the mansion, outside Fengyi Gate in Zhongdu City.
what happened again? Isn’t it going to stop this whole night?
The order to rectify the troops was not completely implemented, but after all, there was only scattered looting and fighting everywhere. How could there be such a loud noise?
Are different families of Mongolians competing for the spoils? Or is there internal strife in the city? Or are the Khitans stationed in that area causing trouble?
Mu Huali pointed at Nakeer casually and said, "Go and inquire. If anyone refuses to obey orders, kill them all immediately!"
Then Ke'er went on horseback.
While Mu Huali stood there, he only heard the wave of human voices getting louder and louder, getting closer and closer, and the number of people participating seemed to be getting more and more! In the roaring and tsunami-like human voices, there were also warning signs. Sounds, the sound of horns being blown wildly!
In the blink of an eye, the huge wave had already surged past Fengyi Gate and entered the city. Without the obstruction of the tall city wall, the sound suddenly became ten times deeper and louder!
No matter how loud the sheep bleat, it cannot affect the shepherd's safety. Therefore, Mu Huali didn't care at all about the call signs of the newly descended Jin Army. He actually couldn't understand the words of the Jurchens or Han'er. Mu Huali could not ignore the screams of the Mongols!
He immediately listened, and the sound soon became so loud that he didn't need to listen and poured directly into Mu Huali's eardrums. That was countless Mongolians crying heartbrokenly!
what happened? Are these people crazy?
Mu Huali jumped up and ran towards his horse that was grazing in the courtyard. Only halfway through the run, Na Keer, who was sent out, urged his horse to come in and almost knocked Mu Huali over.
Na Keer rolled off his horse and cut the skin and flesh of his face with his nails while crying: "The Great Khan is dead! The Great Khan was killed by people from the Ding Navy!"
"You fart! Why is the Great Khan dead?" Mu Huali kicked him down angrily: "What are you stupid about?"
Na Keer cried so hard that she was out of breath. He rolled twice on the ground, biting his tongue with his teeth, and blood overflowed from his mouth. He even hissed and responded: "People from Ding Haijun have entered the city! They are holding the head of the Great Khan, and the nine heads of the Great Khan." Zhanbaihu!' knife."
