Chapter 98 Ten Years
Time flies, day and night, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

During these ten years, Fang Hao and Huang Rong got married on Peach Blossom Island in the presence of many relatives and friends. Two years after their marriage, Huang Rong gave birth to their son Fang Xian.

During these ten years, the power of the Dajiang League has grown rapidly, completely surpassing the Beggars' Sect to become the largest sect in the world.

It is said that wherever there is water, the Dajiang League has influence.

The old ones such as Taihu Branch, Tiezhangshan Branch, Haisha Branch, Zhoushan Branch, and the newly built ones such as Liaodong Branch and Ryukyu Branch, all have first-class masters in charge.

With the "Snow Ginseng Snake Pills" refined by Baicaoxian, mass production of first-class masters is no longer a dream.

With the financial support of maritime trade routes, the Dajiang League continued to expand its influence and migrate population in Yazhou, Ryukyu, Zhoushan Islands and other places.

The population living on the Zhoushan Islands has reached 300,000, and the combined population of Zhoushan, Ryukyu and Yazhou has exceeded one million.

You should know that during the Southern Song Dynasty, the official population statistics were only over 70 million.

These millions of people, living in an independent kingdom isolated overseas, can be regarded as Fang Hao's private property. The power they exert is far beyond imagination.

Such a large population was certainly not looted from the Southern Song Dynasty, but mainly transported from the north by Fang Hao.

The reason why so many people wanted to flee south was very simple: Mongolia had declared war on the Jin Dynasty!

Since the Mongol Empire completely destroyed Western Xia a year ago, under the leadership of Chinggis Khan Jamuka, it began to conquer the world.

The first to bear the brunt was naturally the Jin Dynasty, which directly bordered the Mongolian tribes.

After the Jin Dynasty took control of the Central Plains, it had long lost the toughness of its ancestor Wanyan Aguda. Facing the unified Mongol Empire, it could only adopt the Han people's defense method - clearing the fields and building strong defenses.

Relying on tall cities, bombs and other weapons, they defended several large cities.

Seeing this, Jamukha took advantage of the Mongolian cavalry's ability to move quickly and used guerrilla tactics to carry out harassment.

It only took one year to capture several cities on the Jin border. The resistance of the Jin people was not even as strong as that of the Xixia people.

War will inevitably lead to the displacement of civilians, so Fang Hao signaled the forces under the Dajiang League to transfer many refugees fleeing the war through sea routes, both openly and secretly.

With Fang Hao's nationwide intelligence network, it is not difficult to see that Qingjis Khan is also a great leader whose ability and tactical skills are no less than that of Temujin.

However, when we look at his military tactics, we can see that he likes to use small forces to win big, and he likes to launch surprise attacks. He is treacherous, cunning, cruel and bloodthirsty. In terms of his broad mind and bearing, he is far inferior to Temujin.

It was for this reason that Fang Hao did not kill the other party immediately. Given the other party's warmongering personality, he would sooner or later follow the same path as "Mongke" in the original timeline.

One day, you might die a violent death.

Fang Hao wanted to take advantage of Qingjis Khan's desire for conquest, drive the wolf to devour the tiger, and let the mantis catch the cicada, so that he could be the oriole that came out to save the situation in the end.

Jin Dynasty, Huanglongfu
An army of tens of thousands of people was marching on the way to Huanglongfu.

The leader was none other than the third prince of the current Jin emperor, Prince Rong Wanyan Hongxi.

After traveling for several days in a row, this fat and big-eared commander, whose body was almost hollowed out by alcohol and sex, was already overwhelmed and sat in a luxurious carriage.

Looking at the several obedient female slaves in the carriage, Wanyan Hongxi was about to enjoy himself.

At this time, a steady male voice came from the side of the carriage, "Uncle, the spies we sent to the northwest haven't responded for a long time. I'm worried that they have been ambushed by the Mongolian Tartars, so I'm here to ask for troops to go and investigate."

Wanyan Hongxi's eyes flashed with impatience, and then he lifted the curtain on the carriage and looked at the young general outside who was wearing heavy armor and looked extraordinary. He smiled and said, "Since Kang'er wants to go and take a look, then go ahead. Third Uncle will allocate 5,000 elite cavalry to you. Do you think it's enough?"

Yang Kang suppressed his disdain and said respectfully, "That's enough. Thank you, Third Uncle!"

"Then go ahead!" After closing the curtains, the smile on Wanyan Hongxi's face disappeared completely.

Speaking of which, among the princes under the old emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Prince of Zhao Wanyan Honglie was originally the most outstanding. However, Wanyan Honglie was unfortunately killed ten years ago, which made Wanyan Hongxi become restless.

Now that the Great Jin Kingdom was fighting fiercely with the Mongolian Tartars, the old emperor made preparations in advance and proposed that a prince retreat to Huanglongfu to leave a retreat route for the Great Jin Kingdom.

Wanyan Hongxi accepted the task without a second thought.

He also wanted to show his face in front of the old emperor. If he could make great achievements, he might have a chance to sit on the throne.

Little did he know that the emperor was well versed in the art of balance, and he also sent Wanyan Kang over in addition to himself.

Although this kid is young, he is extremely cunning and has as many evil intentions as his father Wanyan Honglie. But on the surface, the two of them have to pretend to be in close cooperation.

After pretending for a long time, Wanyan Hongxi became more and more fed up and felt very uncomfortable, so it was better to send him away.

Yang Kang, wearing heavy armor, led his personal guards to select five thousand elite soldiers and left the main force directly.

Ten years have passed. The young man who was somewhat impulsive back then has become more calm and steady after his father's death. He stands out among the useless Jin nobles.

Therefore, he was also highly valued by his nominal grandfather, Jin Zhangzong.

The Liaodong area where Huanglongfu is located, with its white mountains and black waters, is the birthplace of the Jurchen people.

If the Great Jin Dynasty really could not defeat the Mongolian Tartars, it could retreat to its homeland, preserve its strength, and wait for the future.

Jin Zhangzong’s idea was not bad, but unfortunately, what he could think of was beyond the reach of Jamukha.

As early as several days ago, Jamukha also ordered his general Kublai Lai to lead 10,000 Mongolian cavalry to Huanglongfu, and ordered another general Subutai to lead 20,000 troops to follow closely.

The purpose of the two men's trip to Liaodong was not only to capture Huanglongfu, but also to destroy the Tolui tribe who were recuperating in Liaodong.

After all, among Temujin's adult sons, Jochi, Chagatai, and Ogedei were all dead, only Tolui was still alive.

As long as Tore is alive, Jamukha will not be at peace!

After Yang Kang led 5,000 Jin cavalrymen to leave the main force, they took a roundabout route to investigate, just in time to avoid the 10,000 Mongolian cavalrymen that followed closely behind Kublai.

The main force of the Jin army, where Wanyan Hongxi was located, was soon met with a violent attack from Kublai Lai.

The terrain was plain, there were no cities or shelters, and the already decayed Jin army was no match for the 10,000 Mongolian cavalry.

With just one charge, the Jin army was defeated.

However, Wanyan Hongxi, the commander-in-chief, was too conspicuous and had no way to escape, so he was quickly captured alive by the Mongolian cavalry.

"I am Wanyan Hongxi, the third prince of the Jin Dynasty. Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" Wanyan Hongxi was frightened by these bloody barbarians from the grassland and spoke incoherently.

"Waste! Take him away!" said Hubi Lai.
