Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 355 Advance into the Central Plains 2

The Jurchen soldiers threw down their weapons one after another.

They were still kneeling there, all of them raised their hands high.

They were extremely scared and apprehensive!

The Song army had already come from all directions and surrounded them. At this moment, they had no possibility of escaping.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and it was supposed to be the time of sunrise, but today the sky was covered with dark clouds, and after a while, there were sporadic light raindrops falling down.

The general of the Song army who spoke before was standing on the bank of the Yellow River, watching the rolling Yellow River.

On the opposite side, there was a big ship coming towards here, and all the soldiers standing on it were soldiers of the Song Army.

Soon the soldiers of the Song Army approached the shore, and one of the captains came towards the general of the Song Army on the shore.

"General Qu, Jurchen Xing Wang Wanyan Zongmin, and Chief Wan Wuyan Fur Shahu have all been killed by us, and now their bodies have been transported here." The captain said.

"Very good, send the corpses of Wanyan Zongmin and Wuyan Furshahu to those golden soldiers!" It turned out that the general of the Song Army on the shore was Qu Duan, a famous general of the Western Army, and Qu Duan said calmly at this moment.

At that moment, a group of Song Army soldiers sent Wanyan Zongmin and Wuyan Fur Shahu to the kneeling Jurchen soldiers. Seeing these two people die here, the Jurchen soldiers were completely desperate, they knew that they were completely finished.

The soldiers of the Song Army were busy, some of them were looking at the Jurchen captives, and some were tidying up the battlefield. They collected the bodies of the Jurchens and buried them in the surrounding mountains. They also gathered the Jurchens' weapons Get up, you can use it in the future. There are tens of thousands of soldiers of the Song Army who are already erecting pontoon bridges, preparing to enter the east of the river through the pontoon bridge and advance to the Central Plains.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from the direction of Xiayukou. Dozens of cavalry came towards here, and the leader was a young man who looked like a literati, and it turned out to be Yu Yunwen.

Yu Yunwen quickly passed the battlefield, and after a quarter of an hour, he also rushed to the bank of the Yellow River and came to Qu Duan.

"General Qu, congratulations, you have defeated Guan Shan Jurchen!" Yu Yunwen jumped off his horse and said with a smile.

"I guessed that the Guanshan Jurchen must return to Hedong, so I set up an ambush here early! Sure enough, the Guanshan Jurchen retreated much faster than we thought! There were a total of 40,000 Jurchen soldiers in Guanshan, and some of them died in battle. Nearly 20,000 people, and thousands of people jumped into the river, some were drowned, and some were killed by our soldiers ambushing downstream! The remaining Jurchen soldiers are only 15,000 people, and now these 15,000 people have surrendered " Qu Duan also laughed and said.

"That's great! None of the 40,000 Jurchens in Guanshan can escape!" Yu Yunwen said.

"How to deal with these Jurchens who surrendered? Do we need to kill them all!" Qu Duan said with a hint of coldness on his face.

"No need." Yu Yunwen said.

"Oh? Then why keep them?" Qu Duan said.

"In the past two years, Guanshan is undergoing major road repairs. The official road from Hanzhong to Guanshan has been repaired, but the official road from Chengdu to Hanzhong is extremely difficult to build. The road to Shu is difficult. In just a few months, We have lost hundreds of youths! These Jurchens can just let them build roads! In addition, we drove many Xixia party members to the northwest, and now these Xixia party members are also ordered to build roads and water conservancy projects." Yu Yunwen road.

"Okay! Then spare the lives of these Jurchens. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes in our land of China. They should have died without a doubt. Now let them live for a while." Qu Duan looked at the Jurchens over there. Direction, sneered.

"Your Majesty wrote that in the future, the Jurchens in the Central Plains will also be treated in the same way. You don't need to kill them all. You can let them do some heavy labor to build roads, docks, water conservancy facilities, etc., for the benefit of China. Since the Jurchens invaded, Our Chinese people suffered a great deal of casualties and lack of labor, and these Jurchens are the best free labor." Yu Yunwen said.

"It's really cheap for them! However, they can't make it easy for them to work hard!" Qu Duan said.

"This is natural! There are twelve hours a day, and they can rest for three or four hours at most. They have to work all year round, and there are no holidays. There are too many roads to be built in the future, from Jiangnan to Central Plains, from Central Plains to Yanyun , From Yanyun to Zhongjing, Shangjing and other places, roads will be built. From now on, our Great Song Dynasty will extend in all directions, and these people are indispensable if we want to connect them thoroughly." Yu Yunwen said.

Qu Duan nodded.

"General Qu, you are about to enter the Central Plains, remember not to enter rashly. The elimination of Wanyan Zongwang in the Central Plains does not depend on your army all the way, but on all the soldiers and horses of our Great Song Dynasty. When all our soldiers and horses arrive, we will encircle them." Yu Yunwen said.

"Of course I know this! This is a policy formulated by the General Staff Headquarters. I am the person in charge of the Operations Department. Of course, I will firmly follow the previous combat plan. Don't worry, I will first occupy Puzhou Prefecture when I go north this time. Afterwards, if possible, I will occupy Pingyang, and then I will never go north again, I just block the way for the Jurchens to go south." Qu Duan said.

Puzhou Mansion is where Yuncheng is now in the south of Shanxi, and Pingyang Mansion is where Linfen is now in the south of Shanxi. If these two places are occupied, southern Shanxi will be considered completely occupied. Datong, Yanmen and other places in northern Shanxi were also occupied, and the Jurchens would be trapped in the northern part of central Shanxi. To the west is the Luliang Mountains and the rolling Yellow River, which cannot be crossed by the army, and to the east is the Taihang Mountains. Although they can pass through, the road is also very difficult.

The purpose of Qu Duan's army was to force Wanyan Zongwang and others to go east.

"It has been more than six years since the Jurchens invaded, and we are finally going back to the Central Plains!" Qu Duan said excitedly as he looked across the Yellow River.

"Yes! We are going back to the Central Plains! After the 40,000 troops in Guanshan were wiped out, Wanyan Zongwang only had 160,000 troops left. In addition, there are tens of thousands of Jurchen soldiers stationed in Daming Mansion, Zhending Mansion and other places. It will not exceed 200,000! The number of soldiers and horses we use far exceeds them, and the strength of our army is not inferior to the Jurchen! The Central Plains is our homeland, and the people of the Central Plains will definitely support us and eliminate the Central Plains Jurchen. , the restoration of the Central Plains is just around the corner." Yu Yunwen said with great excitement in his heart.

It's a pity that Yu Yunwen himself couldn't leave Guanshan! He still needs to stay in Guanshan to deal with the problem of the Jiangnan army in Guanshan. Those Jiangnan troops numbered hundreds of thousands. If an accident happened, soldiers bombed the camp, or some generals rebelled, it would have a huge impact on Guanshan. Therefore, Yu Yunwen must stay here, not only himself, but also the 100,000 infantry of the Forbidden Army who are still staying in Guanshan. They are still defending Zhongnan Mountain, defending countless jungles, pass to prevent unrest. In addition, the hundreds of thousands of youths of the Production and Construction Corps west and north of Chang'an did not dare to take it lightly. After Qu Duan entered Hedong, he occupied Puzhou and Pingyang, but he would also pay attention to the information of Guanshan at any time. Once there was a change in Guanshan, he would immediately abandon Hedong and return to Guanshan. It is two or three hundred miles from Puzhou to Guanshan, and the turmoil in Guanshan can be quelled at any time.

Until noon, more than ten huge pontoon bridges were erected in the gentle place of the Yellow River.

It was still raining lightly in the sky, Qu Duan personally led an army of 150,000 to cross the pontoon bridge and headed for the opposite bank.

Yu Yunwen had been standing on the bank of the Yellow River, watching the sight of these soldiers passing by, and seeing them off.

It was not until late at night that all the soldiers passed through.

At this moment, the Jurchens have already been sent away one after another. These Jurchens had no weapons and knelt for another day, so there was no possibility of causing chaos at all. They will be sent to Hancheng first, and then to Fuping area, where 20,000 imperial infantry are stationed. After arriving there, they will be sent to other places in Guanshan, Sichuan and Sichuan respectively to build roads.

There are still thousands of Song Army soldiers left here at Longmen Ferry, and they will set up camp here to prevent further accidents at Longmen Ferry.

"Master Yu, Lord Wang Shipeng is here." Yu Yunwen was about to pass Xiayukou and rest in Longmen Town for the night today, when a guard ran over and said.

After a while, a young man came to Yu Yunwen, it was Wang Shipeng.

Like Hu Quan, Wang Shipeng joined the Military Aircraft Department last year, but they are not Ministers of Military Aircraft, but Zhang Jing of the Military Aircraft Department, who are mainly responsible for handling affairs. Water conservancy construction and road construction in Guanshan, Hanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan are now under the management of him and the other ten or so young people who have entered the military aircraft department.

Soon, Wang Shipeng came in front of Yu Yunwen.

"How's the food and supplies prepared?" Yu Yunwen asked.

"We have prepared hundreds of thousands of shi of grain, and we can ship some of them to Hedong tomorrow, and the rest to Hebei! There are more than 100,000 arrows, which will also be shipped to Hedong tomorrow. As for Datong, Yanmen, and Yanyun Ten In the Liuzhou area, the grain, grass, and equipment here have already been transported to Xiazhou, Yinzhou and other places, and then transported from there to Datong, Yanmen, and Yanyun." Wang Shipeng said.

"Now it's time for the wheat harvest! It's very busy during the wheat harvest. After the wheat harvest is done, we have to put other things aside. We need to discuss the Central Plains! After the Central Plains is recovered , We will send a large number of youth leaders to the Central Plains to be responsible for the governance of the Central Plains! In addition, there may be large-scale immigration at that time, and many young people may have to migrate to the Central Plains." Yu Yunwen said.

"Do we need to mobilize and convene the youth again?" Wang Shipeng asked.

"I have to ask Your Majesty about this! It won't happen in a short time. The three million young people in Hanzhong and Sichuan have already left their hometowns. We can't recruit more young people. Otherwise, the labor force in these places will be reduced, which is also very important for local construction. The disadvantage. Your Majesty has conquered Jiangnan, and the Propaganda Department has entered Jiangnan in a large scale. I hope that in a year or two, young people can be mobilized from Jiangnan to go north." Yu Yunwen said.

Wang Shipeng nodded.

"Both you and Hu Quan are from Jiangnan. Now that Hu Quan has gone to Yanyun, you are likely to be sent to Jiangnan." Yu Yunwen said again.

"Ah!" A surprised expression appeared on Wang Shipeng's face.

He ran away from home secretly from Jiangnan alone. To be honest, he is very much looking forward to returning home now.

Seeing his surprised appearance, Yu Yunwen also laughed.

After laughing for a while, Yu Yunwen said: "General Zhao Zhe should have passed by Chang'an by now, right? Soon, he will arrive at Tongguan!"
