Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2257: Li Tang is addicted to collecting money, after Qingzhou, Xuzhou

To be honest, the Mongolian nation is indeed a people who are good at utilizing the power of other nations.

This is a point that is unique in itself.

The present-day Yuan Mongols, based on the original Xiongnu, annexed some small tribes on the grasslands, and absorbed the then large Western Xianbei. Later, during the Jin army's conquest of Liangzhou and Su Dingfang's expedition to the west, a small number of Qiang people fled to the north.

It can be said that from the very beginning, the Mongolian nation was a hodgepodge of various ethnic groups.

But, at least, so many years have passed since Genghis Khan officially established the Mongolian nation. Although there are still stubborn resistance elements like Maodun who are obsessed with their past glory among the original people, the vast majority of people also have a certain sense of identity with Mongolia.

Today's Mongolia is unique on the grassland, and coupled with the grassland's unique culture, most people are not resistant to it.

And since the Yuan Dynasty's Mongol conquest of the West, Mongolia has become even more of a hodgepodge.

The Western Regions are not just one ethnic group, but X ethnic groups.

Now, the power of the Han people has begun to enter Mongolia step by step.

Although there were some Han Chinese forces in the Yuan Mongols before, they were only a small part, and they were mainly a small number of elites. Most of these people were Han Chinese discovered by Kublai Khan, and they basically gathered around Kublai Khan.

And in history, Mongolia is a nation that is good at utilizing the power of other nations.

In 1206, Genghis Khan unified the Mongolian tribes and called himself Khan. He had 95 thousand households, plus 1 central troops, the "Qexue", for a total of about 10 people. Of course, some people have counted other small Mongolian troops, but no matter what the statistical results are, the total number of Mongolian cavalry is definitely not more than 20.

This was the largest force that Genghis Khan could mobilize. You should know that Genghis Khan stipulated that all men aged 15 and above and under 70 had the obligation to go to war, which almost set the longest service record in history.

  No matter how powerful the Mongolian cavalry was, even if they won every battle, there would be casualties, so the number of people would always decrease. So, how did these 20 people move the "Earth"?

But the facts are there, the "Earth" was indeed pried open by the grassland empire. After one battle after another, the troops under Genghis Khan's command not only did not decrease, but increased. The answer that can explain all the questions is that the troops that continued to join Genghis Khan's camp were foreign troops.

Wherever the Mongolian cavalry went, there were too many surrenders. Among these surrenders were the Uighurs, the Tanguts, the Khitans, the Khwarezmians, the Jurchens, the Han Chinese, the Huihui people, the Persians, the Tibetans, the Uighurs, and even more so the Song people.

But no matter what, after Temujin's policy, he had 10,000 more soldiers ready to fight. Moreover, these were 10,000 soldiers ready to fight against the Jin people, and he would not hold back, let alone dare to hold back.

"I can't believe that in our Great Jin, there would be a person like Wang Bi who is greedy for life, afraid of death, and forgets his ancestors!" Many generals said indignantly.

This time, the person who took the lead in killing his own people was Wang Bi, a general of the Jin army who was captured by the Mongols after Zhangye was captured.

In fact, Wang Bi had already been persuaded to surrender by Temujin before this.

The reason why he appeared on the battlefield and took the lead was to play his role as a general of the Jin army. As a general, he took the lead and took the initiative, so it was easier for the other soldiers to let go of their courage and swing their knives at other companions.

Moreover, the target Wang Bi chose to attack was not someone else, but Gao Gong, the governor of Jiuquan County who was also captured.

In fact, Temujin valued Gao Gong far more than Wang Bi.

Wang Bi was just a small deputy general, while Gao Gong was the governor of a county. The two were incomparable in status. Moreover, Gao Gong's talent was not comparable to that of Wang Bi, and was even far beyond his reach.

Gao Gong, whose political attribute is as high as 99 points, was a political reformer, thinker and chief minister of the cabinet in the middle period of the Ming Dynasty. His short-lived Longqing Reform had a profound impact on the course of political development in the Ming Dynasty. He was praised as a "famous minister of the country" with "great achievements in economics" or a "good prime minister who saved the time" with "distinguished career".

Moreover, it laid the foundation for the reforms in the early years of the Wanli period.

However, although Temujin valued Gao Gong more, Gao Gong would rather die than surrender, and even went on a hunger strike in prison.

Therefore, he was pulled out by Temujin and played his final role.

The killing of a high-ranking official of the Jin army would certainly have a greater impact on the surrendering soldiers.

………………

The battle of Jinyuan was long and difficult.

It takes some time for each battle report to reach Li Xiang.

However, the affairs of Xuzhou began to trouble his mind again.

This Li Shimin, it would be fine if he just took advantage of others, but he actually got addicted to it.

When the various forces on the grassland were fighting each other, especially during the Qing Dynasty, he had once taken advantage of the Qing Dynasty and gained countless advantages.

During the war against Japan, Li Shimin also fought against Japan and gained various advantages from Japan. With the convenience of being a middleman, he reaped all the benefits in that war.

During the Central Plains War, he took advantage of Dou Jiande's weakness and made some money from the two counties in Qingzhou where Dou Jiande was.

Not only did he destroy Dou Jiande's last bit of power in Qingzhou, allowing Liu Bei's forces to take over the two places without bloodshed. Moreover, seeing how much profit he gained from these two places, it can be said that he carried out the Three Lights Policy in these two places.

Although Sima Cuo of the Youzhou Navy had guarded the Bohai Sea basin and staged a black-eating-black move when the Li Tang Navy was returning.

However, Li Shimin had been prepared for this. He sent Murakami Takeyoshi to lead a part of the fleet in advance, and came up with a real and fake plan, which actually tricked Sima Cuo.

This provided Yi Sun-sin and Yi Jialong with an opportunity to defeat Sima Cuo slightly, so that Sima Cuo ended up losing more than he gained.

However, Li Tang did not know how to speak up after that.

Li Tang, whose officials have been on the battlefields in the Central Plains and the south, and their fleets have been wandering around the coastal areas of the Han Dynasty almost all this time.

When they learned that Liu Bei and Di Qing were both defeated in the Battle of Xuzhou, Xuzhou was at its most empty at that time, and unexpectedly, the autumn wind opened up to Xuzhou at this time.
