Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 623 Raising Millions of Troops on the Red Sea

It is known that the capital of the Ming Dynasty is located in Yingtian Mansion.

It is also known that Yingtian Mansion was called Jiqing Road in the Yuan Dynasty, and Jiankang Mansion and Jiangning Mansion in the Song Dynasty. The Southern Tang Dynasty was relatively peaceful here. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Qi, Liang, and Chen were all destroyed by other countries, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty also established its capital here during the Southern Crossing.

Seeing such simple words that frightened him, he briefly recalled the history of Yingtian Mansion.

Even someone as confident as Zhu Yuanzhang would inevitably mutter:
"Could it be that our Ming Dynasty is unworthy of its descendants..."

In his opinion, there is only one possibility for the Emperor of Heaven to guard the country in Yingtian Mansion:
Either Peiping falls, Hu Yuan makes a comeback, and the Ming Dynasty relies on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to stay safe just like the Southern Song Dynasty.

Or the Ming Dynasty later set up several capitals after the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, upgraded Peiping to the northern capital, and had the emperor regularly patrolling.

But this may be a waste of people and money.

There were too many possibilities, so before he finished speaking, he shook his head and asked again:

"Is this light curtain a warning from a kind god or a ghost daring to play a trick..."

He was no stranger to this. When Huangjue Temple was closed when he was young, he had to beg for alms and wander around. In the past eight years, he traveled all over Huaixi to absorb the local customs and customs. Naturally, he also knew various legends about gods and monsters from the people, and heard various stories from storytellers. Immortals or enlightenment or descending to earth.

He didn't believe it at the time, but when he saw the young man's voice saying something he had never heard of, the first thing he thought of was this kind of rumor.

Queen Ma shook her head seriously and whispered:

"I don't know this, but the so-called immortals and gods' words, which one does not talk about what you want in words is like a farmer buying vegetables, which is more vulgar than ordinary people?"

"This young man's voice didn't ask for anything from the beginning. He really sounded like a storyteller. The two of us were really like the tea guests who accidentally entered the tea stall."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also silent, and then made up his mind:

"Tomorrow we will send a team of imperial doctors north to station in Peiping to monitor the health of brother Xu Da."

If there is another powerful enemy that breaks through Peiping and enters the Central Plains to seize the Huaihe River, the only prerequisite Zhu Yuanzhang can think of is that Xu Daru suffered the same fate as his old brother Chang Shiwan.

Otherwise, even if Genghis Khan was resurrected, it would be impossible to destroy the city of Beiping.

As for the current residual amount? They simply don't deserve to talk about this possibility.

While his mind was in turmoil, he could feel the queen slowly caressing his back, calming the worries in his heart in a few strokes.

"Today is your birthday, so you should be celebrating. How can you be so sad?"

"If none of these screens are true, it would be best. If they are true, if there are enemies, destroy them, if there are traitors, kill them, and if you know their defeat, you can predict them, then you should be happy."

Although this title was quite ridiculous, Zhu Yuanzhang was also encouraged by the queen's words:

"Sister, if we hadn't met you, I don't know how we would have come to the Ming Dynasty."

Then he felt his sister carefully leaning on his shoulder and said quietly:

"I wish you could have more leisure time like before, but now you are busy till late at night..."

Speaking of this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite proud:

"Biao'er is running the government in a very orderly manner now, far better than we were at that time." "He must be a wise king of our Ming Dynasty. He can be better than us, more powerful than the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and more virtuous than Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty!"

The emperor's words were resounding, and later generations also agreed.

[The year after the Battle of Yehuling, Mongolia fought against the Jin people like chasing rabbits, and they were invincible.

Then... they were stuck in Zhongdu. The three armies gathered under the city of Zhongdu and fought for half a year, but they couldn't defeat it.

In the feudal era, before gunpowder was widely used in wars, no matter how powerful you were, whether you had thousands of men against tens of thousands of enemies or elite soldiers and good generals, you would basically be defeated if you encountered a big city guarded by normal people.

The emphasis in the above sentence is on normal people, not on fortified cities, because there are too many examples in history to prove that no matter how strong a fortress is, it cannot prevent it from being breached from within, and the same is true for the Jin Kingdom this time.

Zhongdu is called the Jin people. This city also has common names such as Youzhou and Yanjing. In short, after hundreds of years of construction, this is undoubtedly the barrier to the north of Hebei. It is a real big city that the Mongols cannot attack. It's natural to come down.

As a result, Jin Xuanzong in the city was the first to become frightened and gave money and food to the women even though the city defense was safe. He even sacrificed Princess Qi, the daughter of the former emperor Wanyan Yongji, and Mongolia withdrew its troops.

Mongolia withdrew its troops in February, and Jin Xuanzong proposed moving southward in March. Then in early May, he officially issued an edict to move southward, completing the escape southward with unprecedented efficiency.

Jin Xuanzong's move was almost like stepping on the accelerator when the Jin Kingdom was going downhill. At this point, everyone could see that the Jin Kingdom was in trouble. Rebels swarmed in the Hebei area, and Mongolia was even more unambiguous. In 2000, they broke through Zhongdu City and successfully entered Hebei. At this point, it was only a matter of time before the Jin Kingdom fell.

However, at this critical moment, Temujin had already marched westward and launched the first western expedition in Mongolian history, so the Jin Kingdom was able to survive for a few more years.

Just like the ancient emperors basically didn't know the actual size of their country, Genghis Khan at that time naturally didn't suddenly possess the whip of God and slap his head, so he traveled thousands of miles to Europe to kick the Westerners' butts.

From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, whether it was the Huns or the Turks, there were only two options after unifying the grasslands:
Either go south to invade the Central Plains dynasty and seize the benefits; or go west to control the trade routes between Europe and Asia and seize the benefits.

Genghis Khan's initial choice was undoubtedly the former. As a result, he was frustrated in Zhongdu. For Mongolia at that time, large cities were still too difficult to handle. It was at this time that the rise of Khwarezm was heard in Central Asia. The news naturally led to the first transfer of Mongolia's strategic center.

At that time, the Shah (Emperor) of Khwarezm was Mahamo, who was undoubtedly a hero of the previous generation.

As we mentioned earlier, when Emperor Wenwen Xiao Qu Chulu and Khwarazmo teamed up to kick his father-in-law's family, the specific person who joined forces was Mahamo.

Later, Xiao Qu came out of the law and became the emperor of the Western Liao Dynasty. Mahamo led Khwarezmo to get rid of his status as a vassal and achieve independence. The two of them broke up happily and peacefully.

After Xiao Quchulu became emperor, he continued to go crazy and made the people of Xiliao miserable.

Mahamo led Khwarezm to move the capital to Samarkand and began a vigorous conquest.

In just five years, Mahmoud expanded Khwarezm's sphere of influence to extend from the Pamirs in the east to Azerbaijan and the Red Sea in the west, encompassing most of Central Asia and Persia.

At almost the same time that the Mongols were frustrated by Yanjing, Mahamo held a grand parade across the entire territory of Persia. During this parade, the Turkic governors of various Persian provinces lined up to pay allegiance to him.

The blooming flowers make people believe that a great Central Asian empire has risen slowly.

If thousands of miles of carriages and letters are confused, how can Persia have separate borders? Raise millions of troops on the Red Sea and attack Khorassan in Central Asia!

In this case, when one of his governors falsely accused the Mongolian caravan of having a spy among them because he was coveting the treasures, Mahamo waved his hand nonchalantly:

Do you still need to report this to me? Just cut them all off. 】
