Chapter 139: Regaining the hearts of the people

The Song army led by Qing Fengzi mainly forced the Han army led by the Han army generals who surrendered. Under his command, these Song army killed the defeated Mongolian soldiers. Look at their fierce appearance, it seemed that these Mongolian troops had a grudge against them, and perhaps it was a feud for three generations. In fact, Mongolia has been in Chang'an for more than 40 years, which is considered a feud.

Needless to say, the living Mongolian soldiers are naturally the targets they hunt. The wounded soldiers who fell to the ground and even the corpses are the best targets for their abuse. If you have the chance, you have to cut them a few times before you talk about it.

A army that had just surrendered could not be sent to the battlefield, at least it could not be sent to the battlefield in a short period of time. Even if it was used, it could not be sent to the main force, but could only be used to fight and assist, because it was unstable and unreliable. However, Qingfengzi was abnormal and not only sent them to the battlefield, but also all brave and cruel, as if they were bloodthirsty beasts. The reason was not that they had curbed Qingfengzi and had to listen to him.

Qingfengzi's method of dealing with them was too simple, that was, to ask the Han generals to gather their troops and arrest all the Mongolian troops in Chang'an. There were many Mongolian troops in Chang'an, so it was no wonder that an extremely important strategic location like Chang'an naturally had to send elite troops and heavy troops. These Mongolian troops were caught off guard and became prisoners.

If the situation was not urgent, Qingfengzi would not be so cruel. He did not hesitate to order the Han army to kill these Mongolian prisoners, and told them that killing Mongolian soldiers now is equivalent to killing the enemy, and that they can get the same reward as killing the enemy. This is equivalent to giving away military achievements to the Han army for free. They did not believe that Qingfengzi didn't say anything, and ordered the silver and gold pearls he had paid, pointing at these treasures and saying rewards to the Han army on the spot.

These Han soldiers did not believe that such good things were so they stood still. They couldn't blame Qingfengzi for not being charming enough, but because good things were too easy and no one could believe them. If your friends didn't believe it, they could try it by themselves. Qingfengzi lit a few soldiers and asked Yangfeng and others to force them to kill the prisoners with their swords. These Han soldiers were forced to kill the prisoners with no choice but to kill the prisoners.

Qingfengzi kept his promise and gave rewards on the spot. In this way, these Han soldiers believed it a little. A few Han soldiers came forward to cut off the heads of several Mongolian prisoners, and Qingfengzi naturally gave rewards immediately. With the examples of these Han soldiers, the Han soldiers suddenly became eager, and they all rubbed their fists and palmed their hands, wishing they could kill all the Mongolian prisoners and take full control of their military achievements.

Being smart is Qingfengzi's virtue. He took the opportunity to deliver a speech, counting the atrocities of the Mongolian army in Chang'an. He has been in Guanzhong for a long time and knows the atrocities of the Mongolian army, counting them one by one, which arouses the hatred of the Han army, like a bloodthirsty beast, looking at the Mongolian prisoners with red eyes, wishing to kill the Mongolians with one blow.

Qingfengzi knew that the time was ripe and asked them to kill Mongolian prisoners. He was forcing the tiger to go up the mountain, asking everyone to get the blood of the Mongolians, and there was no way back. He could only follow him, and each person killed at least one prisoner. After one reward, the Han army was overjoyed and laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths. Many people even looked around and looked around, looking for targets to see if there were any prisoners who had missed the net. If there were any, they would have more military achievements.

The happy Han soldiers regarded Qing Fengzi as a god. Someone couldn't help calling him "living gods". One person called him, and everyone followed him. For a moment, the shouts of "living gods" sounded, and the Han soldiers were indescribable to express their happiness.

In this way, Qingfengzi not only established his power, but also gained the trust of the Han army, and established an iron-blooded army in a short period of time. The biggest feature of this army is that it hates the Mongols. When they see the Mongols, they want to kill them, not because they are greedy for merit, but because they are afraid that they are stained with the blood of the Mongols. If they catch them, that would be fine. The best way is to kill the Mongols.

He was relieved to kill the Mongols and could make contributions. Who wouldn't want to do a great thing? Shi Tianze's defeated army would naturally be extremely unlucky when they met them, and it was more than ten thousand times more unlucky than meeting the Song army led by Li Jun. At least the Song army led by Li Jun would not abuse the corpse.

In the face of the almost crazy style of the Song army, the Mongolian defeated troops could not resist it. It didn't take long to get the corpses on the ground. However, the matter was not over. Just when Shi Tianze's defeated troops were about to collapse, a shocking battle call "Long live the Song Dynasty!" sounded, and thunderous hooves came from behind Shi Tianze, and a piece of smoke and dust rolled up. Countless Song troops waved their swords and rushed towards them. These Song troops were the pursuers led by Li Jun.

The Mongolian army was first-class in fighting and escaping for life. Li Jun spent a lot of effort to catch up with Chang'an City. The defeated Mongolian army was about to collapse, and everyone thought about the good things that were beaten into the water dog. No one would let go of such good things. Before Li Jun had sent an order, the Song army couldn't help but yelled at the battle call and rushed up.

Shi Tianze is really unfavorable. He finally escaped to Chang'an City and wanted to reorganize the army, but he didn't expect Qingfengzi to wait for him. This made him depressed enough. Li Jun could not bear it at all. The Mongolian army collapsed in a blink of an eye. The defeated soldiers who were still resisting had no fighting spirit anymore. They threw down their weapons and ran away, and they only hated their parents for having less legs.

The Mongolian remnants brought into Guanzhong by Guo Kan attacked the Song army from front to back under Chang'an City and made a big dumpling.

"I have seen the emperor." Qingfengzi floated over with his big sleeves, looking like a godly posture, bowed to Li Jun, and said, "The emperor uses troops like a wild horse, without restraint, and makes no decisions. It is unexpected. I admire him."

The battles of winning with fewer and more are not uncommon in history. The Battle of Feishui and Guandu are classic battles of winning with fewer and defeating the strong with weak. However, it is not many defeats like Li Jun, who defeated Shi Tianze with such a disadvantaged force, which makes people have to accept it. It is a miracle.

The reason why Qingfengzi was willing to take a risk and led a few disciples to Chang'an to seize Chang'an was another consideration, that is, if it succeeds, the pressure on Guo Kan's army would be very great. It can be imagined that if an important city like Chang'an is lost, it is like a bombshell, and it is impossible not to cause shock to the Mongolian army.

This is just one of them. Another advantage is that Qingfengzi can lead the surrendered Han army to attack Guo Kan from behind and attack Guo Kan with Li Jun. In this way, even if Guo Kan cannot be defeated, it will delay Guo Kan and cannot advance to Baoji. You must know that the most important thing for Li Jun is to gain time and allow more troops to gather in Guanzhong.

What Qingfengzi never expected was that Li Jun actually defeated Guo Kan. As soon as he captured Chang'an, Li Jun's army arrived. His efforts could only add icing on the cake and did not play a greater role.

Li Jun jumped off the back of the white horse and said, "Please exempt the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest made a strange plan, and went to Chang'an without fighting without fighting. It is a wonderful skill. What kind of wish does the Taoist priest have? Even if you say that I will complete it for the Taoist priest." A great achievement like Qingfengzi is rare in the ages, so you should give it a good reward. However, Qingfengzi is an expert in the world. If you say rewards, it would be too vulgar. Li Jun said that he would fulfill his wish for Qingfengzi.

Qingfengzi didn't understand the truth about Li Jun's meaning, so he bowed: "Your Majesty, I have only met a wise master for seventy years. I have no wishes, but I only hope that my hometown will be restored, China will be prosperous and prosperous, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, have food and clothing, and I will have enough wishes."

"It's really an admirable paradise who works hard for the people but does not win any success." Li Jun praised it in his heart and laughed: "Your wish is also my wish, and it is also the wish of thousands of ordinary people. Let's work together to realize this beautiful wish."

Qingfengzi bowed again and said, "The emperor is wise! China will surely prosper. I ask the emperor to do the most urgent matter."

Li Jun was stunned and asked, "What is the most urgent thing for the Taoist priest?" Qing Fengzi said a little vaguely, and was stunned by Li Jun, who had always been smart. Don't say that Li Jun would be stunned, if anyone would be stunned, Guanzhong had not been completely restored, Chang'an took it down. There were so many things to deal with, and there were so many urgent matters. Who knows which one he was referring to.

"Emperor, I think there has been no royal army in Guanzhong for more than a hundred years, and most of the people do not know the majesty of the court. I also asked the emperor to take advantage of this army to gather in Chang'an to regain the hearts of the people." Qingfengzi said his intentions directly.

Li Jun nodded and praised: "What the Taoist priest said is extremely true! This is a long-term move! Blood is thicker than water. Although the court has not managed the Guanzhong area for more than a hundred years, the people in Guanzhong still remember that they are Han people and Chinese people, and hope that the royal army will return. However, after all, it has been too long, and some people no longer know the power of the court, so it is time for them to know that the court has returned."

Time is the elixir for healing trauma. For more than a hundred years, the people of Guanzhong have been resisting the rule of foreign races. However, as time goes by, this resistance has become weaker and weaker. Many people have already agreed with the rule of foreign races. It is time to take this opportunity to regain the hearts of the people. Let the people know that the court has returned and make it clear to them that the court has brought back. Only by doing this well and getting the support of the people can we build Guanzhong into a strategic base for marching into the Central Plains in the shortest time.

Qingfengzi took the lead in making this suggestion to Li Jun when others were still immersed in joy. It was really a high-level view and made people convinced.

Qingfengzi admired Li Jun's quick reaction and bowed and said, "I have seen it."

It is very difficult for a paradise like Qingfengzi to get his praise. Although it is not very respectful, it is enough to make people happy. Li Jun smiled and said, "The Taoist Master is too rewarded. The Taoist Master is not inferior to the Taigong. If you can get the Taoist Master's help, why worry about Guanzhong? What worry about Zhongyuan? General Liu, send someone to pursue Shi Tianze immediately, and be sure not to let him out of seclusion. In addition, ask the soldiers to gather and let us enter the city as well."

Li Jun was a wise man, and he was obviously going to have a military parade to let the people of Chang'an see the mighty military power of the Song army, but he said it lightly to enter the city. Liu Hezi didn't know his intentions and took the order and said, "Abide by the order." The order was passed on, and some people went to pursue Shi Tianze, while the rest were all concentrated.

Li Jun had held the military parade as early as the Lin'an Defense War. The results achieved were excellent at that time, which inspired the fighting spirit of the people of Lin'an and the fighting spirit of the entire army, laying the foundation for later victory. Xu Guanghan's special forces participated in the military parade at that time. It can be said that he was familiar with the command. Once the order was passed on, the special forces immediately formed a formation. The special forces were the sharp knife of the Song army, well-trained, and formed a formation in an instant.

Under the arrangement of Liu Hezi, the other Song troops quickly gathered together and formed neat formations. Looking from the top of the city, there were a lot of darkness under the city, and I don’t know how many.

When the Mongolian army was defeated, many ordinary people also took up farm tools such as axes and hoes to join the war, and beat the dogs to fall into the water. After the Mongolian army fled, they helped clean the battlefield. The Song army's actions immediately affected them. They stopped and watched quietly. When they saw the powerful formation of the Song army, they were all happy from the bottom of their hearts and pointed and discussed.

More than 20,000 people lined up, and the movement was quite good. The people in the city rushed to watch. In a short while, many people surrounded the city above and below. The news spread like wildfire, and many people rushed to the scene with the news, and the more people gathered.

Before the military parade was held, it attracted so many people to watch. Li Jun was very satisfied. He looked at Qingfengzi and nodded slightly at the same time. They both had a tacit understanding, which was to say that they each performed their duties and must maximize the effect of this military parade.

Li Jun rode a white horse, surrounded by a team of guards led by Duan Ganmu and rode his horse into the city, and came to the top of the city. Li Jun jumped off his war horse, stood on the city wall, and waved: "Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!"

The soldiers under the city said together: "Serve the court!"

The army brought by Li Jun had 15,600 people, and the Han army forced by Qingfengzi to surrender was more than 10,000, totaling more than 20,000, nearly 30,000 people. When they roared together, the sound became louder, as if a thunder thunder went straight to the clouds, deafening, and spreading from afar, for a long time.

The onlookers were originally watching out of curiosity and looking at the diorama. Unexpectedly, the roar was like a mountain collapse and tsunami that shocked their ears, and they were shocked and all were shocked.

"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!" Li Jun waved his arms and shouted on the top of the city again.

The soldiers said together: "Expel the Tartars!"

For more than a hundred years, many Guanzhong patriots have abandoned their wives and children in order to "expel the Tartars" and are willing to shed their blood. Now, this shout is like a thunderclap that splits the dark clouds and makes the people feel excited when they see the blue sky.

With a wave of Li Jun, Xu Guanghan led the special forces to walk in his head and entered the city from the suspension bridge. The entry ceremony officially began. The special forces are the elite among the elite. They are experienced in many battles, well-trained and extremely well-equipped. They can be said to be the "image ambassador" of the Song army. Walking in his head brings shocking effects to the onlookers.

A hundred years ago, the Jin army marched southward and the Song army retreated step by step. There were many defeats in Guanzhong like the Battle of Fuping. Many defeats were deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people. The incompetence of the court was already recognized and made the people of Guanzhong sad. Unexpectedly, the vulnerable army a hundred years ago was so majestic and mighty when it returned to Guanzhong. It was pleasing to the eyes and courageous. It was impossible to make the people not shocked.

I don’t know who was the first to shout: “Long live the Song Dynasty!” The common people followed and shouted: “Long live the Song Dynasty!”

This voice is no longer just a simple shout, but a cry of emotion bursting out. It is full of emotions from the people, blood and tears, humiliation, and all kinds of emotions after losing the court are included. It is so touching. Many ordinary people cry while crying, "Long live the Song Dynasty!"

To be honest, the court of the Southern Song Dynasty was incomparable, but for a nation, even the worst government was more intimate than the foreign courts, because this was a matter within the same nation. Even if the court was not good, it was our own business. We were not allowed to surrender or intervene.

Many people were so excited that they could only cry: "The court is back! The court is back!"

For more than a hundred years, the return of the court has been a dream that lingers in the hearts of the people. It is impossible to shout such a simple word. I didn’t expect that it will become a real existence now. The excitement in the hearts of the people is no longer something that can be expressed by writing.

The five words "The court is back" are the dreams that many people of kindness and ambition have shed their blood and sacrificed their lives to pursue. They have fought thousands of times and fought hard, but they have not earned them. The majestic Song army has already stepped on the neat military steps into the city. This is the best guarantee. Anyone who sees it will be excited and will cry.

The excited people immediately got busy, either beating drums or setting off firecrackers, automatically arranged in a row to watch the Song army's entry ceremony. This ceremony was very hurrying and there was no preparation at all. Li Jun just followed Qingfengzi's advice to conduct a brief military parade to give the people confidence. Unexpectedly, the people would become extremely awesome as soon as they participated in it, and they shouted everywhere, "Master, we want to see our own army!"

This is a small requirement, but the weight is so heavy. As long as anyone familiar with history knows, Li Jun cannot refuse, so he has to work hard for the soldiers. Li Jun ordered them to walk through the streets and alleys of Chang'an and ask the people of Chang'an to see the king's master with their own eyes.

This is a victorious army! They had just come down from the battlefield and were stained with blood in the clothes. In the eyes of the common people, blood is the best proof of their heroic deeds! They are all excited and shout loudly, "Long live the emperor!"
