However, the Northern Song Dynasty is not completely unavailable. After all, no matter how depressed the Northern Song Dynasty is, it is still a large country. The tens of millions of people currently in Zhao Ji's hands are also what Zhao Kuangyin needs.

The most important thing is that Zhao Ji still has tens of thousands of cavalry in his hands!
That is the most important thing. In this era, cavalry are treasures. In any country, they are an army that requires a lot of resources to support!
Compared to cavalry, infantry are raised by stepmothers.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was eyeing Zhao Ji's cavalry.

After all, the Southern Song Dynasty did need war horses. In the past two years, they had wanted to buy more war horses with Zhu Houzhao, but they couldn't hold back the chips that Zhu Houzhao was interested in.

Zhu Houzhao could sell war horses from the Northern Song Dynasty because he could delay the progress of the Yuan Dynasty by supporting the Northern Song Dynasty.

By the way, you can also make some money here!
There are still quite a lot of war horses. Even now, Zhu Houzhao can sell war horses. After all, Zhu Houzhao has a large land area and many grasslands. If he wants to raise horses, this is not a problem at all.

Moreover, Qi Jiguang and Ma Chao also ran to the grassland from time to time to attack those foreign races, which resulted in Zhu Houzhao having a lot of war horse resources.

However, there are many war horse resources, and there are many war horse resources, but it does not mean that they can be wasted.

He has no idea of ​​joining the enemy yet.

Ever since he discovered that the Northern Song Dynasty could not help him, Zhu Houzhao had not thought of selling war horses to the Southern Song Dynasty. After all, the Southern Song Dynasty was also the main force in the fight against the Mongols.

Of course, they may also be his opponents in the Ming Dynasty, especially after Zhu Houzhao killed so many scholar-bureaucrats, Zhu Houzhao felt that they were more likely to be against him.

Although Zhu Houzhao also knew that he would not sell war horses to Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin could also ask Dayuan to buy war horses to deal with him.

But I can’t sell war horses directly to the opponent!
If the other party could really bring out a large number of Dayuan slaves to buy war horses, Zhu Houzhao would agree, but Zhao Kuangyin clearly had slaves in his hands but refused to exchange them. This is very embarrassing!
Zhao Kuangyin began to mobilize troops on a large scale. On the one hand, he sent Yue Fei to attack Dayuan.

On the other hand, Han Shizhong was sent to attack the Northern Song Dynasty. When the Northern Song Dynasty encountered the Southern Song Dynasty's army, it was like meeting their own army. They opened the door and surrendered directly and welcomed them into the city gate...

Everything went very smoothly, and it shocked everyone's eyes. They all guessed that there was something fishy between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty.

But I didn't expect it to be like this. The two Song Dynasties are really a family!
This is so smooth and enviable!!
Kublai Khan said that he had something to say. He worked hard to conquer the city, but what happened to the Southern Song Dynasty? In less than a month, he occupied 80% of the remaining land in the Southern Song Dynasty. Isn't this too much? ?
What do you want us to do!? Kublai Khan wanted to stop them, and Yang Ye seemed to be fighting them with all his life...

When the armies of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty began to carve up the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji took his family and ran away...

Well, that's right, Zhao Ji ran away at this time, and he headed towards the Ming Dynasty.

This was something no one expected. Although the emperor Zhao Ji was not very reliable, it was almost universally acknowledged.

But as an emperor, when almost 95% of the country was about to be lost, he directly chose to run away. No one knew how to complain about this. When the country was gone, there were indeed many emperors who simply chose to run away, and many even thought they could make a comeback.

But Zhao Ji was obviously not like this. As far as the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty was concerned, no one could tell whether it was the Northern Song Dynasty who betrayed Zhao Ji or Zhao Ji who betrayed the Northern Song Dynasty.

After all, the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty directly joined the Southern Song Dynasty, not only the officials, but also the generals. They all needed the Southern Song Dynasty to fight for them and the Yuan Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty, which had the same origin, was the best choice.

As a result, Zhao Ji did not choose the Southern Song Dynasty but chose the Ming Dynasty. This was something that no one expected. This was a betrayal of his ancestors!
However, the fact that Zhao Ji chose the Ming Dynasty can also explain why Zhao Xin let those people from the Northern Song Dynasty enter the Ming Dynasty before. This was giving people to the Ming Dynasty!
Although there are no accurate data, if you make a careful estimate, there may be three million people from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty.

Ninety percent of the people on the border between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty went to the Ming Dynasty.

If the Southern Song Dynasty had not been so fast, it is estimated that five to six million people would have ran to the Ming Dynasty, and almost everyone who could run had fled.

This also shocked the Ming Dynasty's border troops. At first, they could think that many people from the Northern Song Dynasty would flee to the Ming Dynasty.

But what's going on?
Directly from millions upon millions?
There was no stopping at several important passes, and it didn't stop until the Southern Song Dynasty took over the border troops.

Zhao Kuangyin was not Zhao Ji after all, and it was impossible for him to watch the people flow into the Ming Dynasty.

The current Ming Dynasty is really too powerful. If the Ming Dynasty continues to develop like this, let alone the Southern Song Dynasty, even with the Yuan Dynasty, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty!!
Zhao Ji ran away directly, and his escape was very smooth. Although he was an emperor, he was somewhat unworthy of his reputation. Many officials in the Northern Song Dynasty had actually been Zhao Kuangyin's people for a long time.

People have already eroded the Northern Song Dynasty up and down. In other words, although the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties were separated, the Northern Song Dynasty had actually been secretly controlled by the Southern Song Dynasty a long time ago, right?
Zhao Kuangyin's move was somewhat unexpected, but it seemed to be reasonable.

After Zhao Xin and others ran away and successfully arrived in the Ming Dynasty, Han Shizhong led an army of 50,000 to Bianjing smoothly. However, without any pressure, he incorporated the 100,000 troops in Bianjing. After that, Han Shizhong had no They continued to act, but instead stationed themselves in Bianjing, waiting for Kublai Khan's arrival.

Kublai Khan was also very angry after seeing Han Shizhong take over the remaining cities of the Northern Song Dynasty without bloodshed.

Why did he fight to the death with the Northern Song Dynasty army, only for the Southern Song Dynasty to directly pick peaches?!
You know, most of the land captured by Dayuan was the land that had been ruined by Fang La and the Murong family before!
Coupled with Dayuan's massacre, these places compared with their heyday.

One-fifth is already a lot.

And what about the lands acquired by the Southern Song Dynasty?
Although there were some wars and a lot of people left, at least it still had 70% to 80% of the strength of its heyday.

This made Kublai Khan very angry!
He worked hard to fight the Northern Song Dynasty, but the Southern Song Dynasty took advantage of him. Do you really think that Kublai Khan is easy to bully? (End of this chapter)
