The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 447 A “big fish” was really caught in Diaoyucheng!
｛Yu Jie and Meng Gong can be called the Great Wall of the Southern Song Dynasty and famous generals of the time.｝
{The stories of heroes like Li Mu, Jiang Wei, and Meng Gong who died in the end and whose unsuccessful efforts against the will of heaven are always moving to read.}
{Some people call Meng Gong and Manstein the "Master of Mobile Defense". It was this hero who desperately pulled the Southern Song Dynasty off the Mongolian "doomsday train", although after his death, the Song Dynasty later got on the train. }
{Fortunately, Meng Gong did not live to see the demise of the Song Dynasty, and left with hope for his country and nation.}
{Unfortunately, Yu Jie governed Sichuan for twelve years and made outstanding achievements. When he first took office, Sichuan was in ruins. He implemented a policy of light taxes and levies to ease the burden on the people and opened up trade to enrich Sichuan. After more than ten years of governance, Sichuan changed greatly. Not only did the economy improve, the people were able to live in peace, and the military defense capabilities were greatly enhanced. In the end, he was forced to death by the court...}
{As for the Southern Song generals who bravely fought against the enemy on the battlefield, people shed tears for Yue Fei, but ignored many other generals who defended the country with heroic deeds like Meng Gong.}
{For more than a hundred years in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was these heroes who led by example and made outstanding contributions that held up the precarious sky of the Southern Song Dynasty. Every hero should be deeply remembered by history. They are: Yue Fei, Meng Gong, Wu Jie, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, Bi Zaiyu, Wang Jian, Yu Jie, Wei Sheng...}
{How many heroes have been lost in the long river of history? We always have selective amnesia. We strongly suggest that history textbooks add these heroic deeds that are worthy of praise, so that we and future generations will remember that there were such people who sacrificed their lives for the country!}

{Then there will be something like "Half River Green" that is so disgusting to the eyes and ears.}
{Shut up! If you don't know how to speak, just keep silent!}
{In fact, in addition to Meng Gong and Yu Jie, there was also a defense master named Du Gao, who also built a defense system and defeated Mongolian invasions many times.}
{Meng Gong, Yu Jie, and Du Gao are also known as the three defense masters during the reign of Emperor Lizong of Song.}
……

Sui Dynasty
Yang Jian counted silently.

This was the third Great Wall destroyed by the Song Dynasty.

One Zongze, one Yue Fei, one Yu Jie...

Even though it was given countless opportunities, the Song Dynasty still destroyed the Great Wall and dug its own grave...

He did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of his own people. Alas!

Really, these rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty do not deserve any sympathy at all!

It’s a pity for these generals who are loyal to their country.

Meet this group of dog emperors!
……

Datang
The courtiers of Zhenguan looked at each other secretly and exchanged ideas.

How lucky I am!

So that we can meet His Majesty today!

How lucky! How lucky!
Wei Zheng looked at the emperor and decided not to pick a fight with him today.

……

Southern Song Dynasty: Gaozong Period (Xiaozong)
Yue Fei ignored the last inexplicable paragraph.

He carefully wrote down these names.

They are the ancestors in the eyes of later generations.

It is also the future of the Song Dynasty!
……

On the canopy

The Red Mongolian Army marched from east to west, made a big detour, and crossed the mountains and rivers in the western part of Sichuan.

Direct to Dali

The next moment, "Dali" became "Mongolia"

The Southern Song Dynasty became a turtle in a jar.

……

【After Mengge came to power, he actively prepared to launch a larger-scale offensive against the Southern Song Dynasty. 】

[At this time, the Mongolian army was truly sweeping across the world in a geographical sense! ]

[Its fighting power is unmatched in the world. ]

【Not only is he tenacious in combat, he is also superior in strategy. 】

[In order to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, Mongolia formulated a grand strategy, which was to first attack the Dali Kingdom and the Southwestern Yi in southern Sichuan and complete the encirclement of the Southern Song Empire.]

[Mongke handed over the task of conquering Yunnan to his younger brother Kublai Khan. ]

It is not an easy task to attack Yunnan without going through Sichuan.

[With unyielding will, the Mongolian army traveled through the mountains and ridges in western Sichuan, crossed the Dadu River, traveled more than 2,000 miles through valleys, crossed the Jinsha River in leather bags and rafts, and finally arrived in Yunnan after many hardships.]

[In December of 1253, after conquering the Dali Kingdom in Yunnan, Kublai Khan returned north, leaving behind his general Wulianghetai to sweep the barbarian tribes in the southwest.]

[In 1256 AD, Mongke sent his prince Tachaer to attack the Song Dynasty. ]

[However, due to the solidity of the Yangtze River defense line, the military actions of Tachaer and others have been ineffective, and the usually calm and resolute Mengge began to lose his temper. ]

[In 1257 AD, Mongolia completely conquered the Southwestern Yi and Annan. ]

[The Southern Song Dynasty was surrounded by Mongolia from the north, west, and southwest, with the only thing missing being a blockade on the sea.]

[In 1258 AD, when the time was ripe, Mongke issued an edict to invade the Song Dynasty.]

……

On the canopy

Against the surging river.

The river wind blew up the people's clothes.

The armored general stood at the bow, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Looking at the rocks flying backwards, suddenly a section of worn stone steps appeared in front of me.

The mountain path is deep and secluded, with many blurry cliff carvings hidden among the green bamboos.

The general looked up again and saw three large red characters engraved on the rock wall. The vigorous and upright font was particularly eye-catching.

"Diaoyucheng"

……

[In 1258 AD, the Mongolian army marched south in three groups]

[In the east, Kublai Khan and Muhuali's grandson Batulu led 20,000 Mongolian cavalry, and Han generals Shi Tianze and Dong Wenyong led the Mongolian-Han coalition forces to attack Ezhou, Xiangyang and other areas in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River]

[Southern route: Wulianghatai in Dali, Yunnan, went northward from the southwest and attacked Guangxi and Hunan]

[On the western route, Mengge personally led part of the main force, marched south from Liupan Mountain, crossed Shaanxi and attacked Sichuan, Shaanxi and Chongqing.]

[In March, Mengge led his army to attack Shaanxi and Sichuan, crossed the Qinling Mountains, and fought several small-scale battles. In July, he successively occupied Changning, Langzhou, Guang'an, Chengdu and other places.]

[He ordered Marshal Niu Lin and Milihuozhe to lead an army of 20,000 infantrymen to stay in Chengdu, while he led the remaining 200 main warships from Chengdu, sailed south along the Jialing River, and successively conquered Pengzhou, Hanzhou, Huaixian, Jianyang, Longxian and other places, and occupied Guangyuan.]

[He also personally led 50,000 troops of the Western Route Army, with Wang Dechen's troops as the vanguard, and set out from Langzhou, successively conquering Yunshan, Qingju, Dalianghuo and other mountain cities. Song general Yang Dayuan led his troops to surrender.]

[In December, they arrived at the military fortress Diaoyucheng and formed a siege on Chongqing.]

【Diaoyucheng is right in front of you. 】

……

Big man.

Liu Bang's face looked a little strange.

It is the expression of seeing others jumping back and forth in an area that they are familiar with.

"Although I understand that he wants to increase his voice in the military."

"But you gave up your strengths in field warfare and braved the sweltering heat to attack and build a city." "If it doesn't rain for months, something bad will easily happen."

Lu Zhi looked at him strangely.

"What could possibly happen? And why do you care so much about these barbarians?"

"Do you really think he is your descendant?"

Liu Bang felt quite helpless.

"E'er, don't eat this unnecessary sour food."

Lu Zhi's face froze and she turned her head away awkwardly.

"You're talking nonsense! You're not steady at all!"

Liu Ying and little Liu Heng skillfully avoided sight.

Otherwise, just let the two of us go!
We are really full!

……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

Liu Xiu looked at the city carefully.

The circumference of the city is more than ten miles. The top of the mountain is flat and open, with water sources and sufficient fertile fields on it. The military and civilians can combine farming and fighting without any worries.

The mountain is about a hundred feet high, with rivers surrounding it on the south, north and west sides. Two walls, two or three feet high, are built on the mountainside.

There is also an outer wall that leads directly to the river bank, surrounded by the river on three sides, with dangerous terrain and overlooking everything!

"As long as there is enough food and grass, the defender will be attentive."

"The Mongolian army will return without success!"

Yin Lihua whispered to Liu Zhuang:
"Your father means that they are doomed to fail."

……

[Wang Jian, a brave general of the Southern Song Dynasty, served under Meng Gong in his early years. He became famous for attacking the Mongolian army at night in Dengzhou and burning their baggage. He was later transferred to Sichuan and fought off the looting Mongolian army many times together with General Cao Shixiong and others.]

[Before Mengge arrived, Wang Jian had carefully prepared for war. He not only stored a large amount of food and grass in Diaoyucheng, but also organized military training for the people, bringing the total number of troops and militia to more than 100,000. He also transferred some new city defense military equipment from other places.]

[In December, Mengge sent Jin Guobao, a surrendered general of the Southern Song Dynasty, to persuade Wang Jian to surrender. As a result, Jin Guobao was taken to the parade ground in Diaoyucheng by Wang Jian and publicly beheaded.]

[In the first month of 1259, Mengge personally led his army to attack Diaoyucheng, but failed to capture it after a long siege.]

……

On the canopy.

The Khan, wearing a white fur hat and sitting in the cloud chariot looking up at the city, had a gloomy expression on his face.

A Mongolian soldier, with a bulging chest, climbed onto the cloud car using his hands and feet.

He knelt on one knee and stumbled:
"He...He Han!"

Mengge looked straight ahead and asked:

"What's going on? What did the Song army throw down? A letter asking for peace?"

The soldier's face flushed as he took out a strange-looking object from his arms.

Mengge looked back and frowned.

What the soldier was holding was a broken fish head and a piece of bread covered in mud.

"Fish? Cake?"

"What does Song Jun mean by this?"

The soldier lowered his head and said with difficulty:
"Hehan, the Song army also attached a letter."

Mengge took a deep breath and uttered two words.

"Bring it!"

The soldier lowered his head and handed over the crumpled letter.

Mengge unfolded the letter.

"Mongke Khan, I am sending you two fish and over a hundred steamed cakes. You northern soldiers can cook the fish and eat the cakes. Even if we attack for another ten years, we will not be able to capture this city!"

Mengge was stunned for a moment, and then...

"puff!"

The letter was splattered with blood.

Mongke fell on his back!
……

[The Mongols and Song fought dozens of battles under Diaoyucheng. Due to the narrow space and steep terrain, it was not conducive to the Mongolian cavalry to exert their combat effectiveness. Therefore, despite the fierce attack of the Mongolian army, they still could not break through the Song army's defense line. Apart from leaving a large number of corpses, there was no progress.]

[The Mongolian army had been fighting for a long time, and the soldiers were old and tired. It was the height of summer and the climate was not suitable for them, and epidemics were spreading. The Song army was well-rested and attacked the enemy camp from time to time at night, which made the Mongolian army unstable.]

[In June 1259, the Mongolian general Wang Dechen was eager to win, so he rode alone to Diaoyu City to ask for surrender. He was killed by flying stones from the city, and the morale of the Mongolian army became even lower.]

[Mongke commanded his troops to attack the city day and night in an attempt to quickly break through the city. The two sides continued to fight.]

[On July 7, the Mongolian army climbed up the ladder, occupied the outer city wall, and killed the defender.]

[However, when the fierce battle lasted until midnight, a sudden thunderstorm broke out, breaking the ladders set up by the Mongolian army. The Mongolian army had no choice but to retreat from the outer city.]

[At the same time, Song troops from the periphery also came to assist Wang Jian. General Lu Wende led a navy up the Jialing River and entered the periphery of Fuzhou, where they met Mengge's navy. The two sides fought for dozens of days without a clear winner.]

[Later, Lü Wende took advantage of the surging river water to attack, and with the help of Wang Jian, he broke into the city and delivered some military supplies into the city, and then he escaped unscathed.]

[On July 9, Wang Jian threw two 15-kilogram fresh fish and more than a hundred steamed buns into the Mongolian army, with a letter hidden inside to mock them.]

[Wang Dechen's death made Mengge extremely sad. The Song army mocked him and he became anxious and angry. He fell ill that day.]

[On August 11, Mongke Khan died suddenly at Diaoyucheng.]

……

{No, that's not right? Wasn't he killed by a flying rock?}

{There are different records about Mongke's death in history books}

{Version 1: Mongke had been stationed in a strong city for a long time, and it was the hottest season. The Mongols were afraid of heat and humidity, and the climate and soil were not suitable for him. He died of illness in the army a month later. The "History of Yuan Dynasty" and Rashid al-Din's "Historical Records" have similar records, and the "Historical Records" even records in detail that he suffered from malaria. ｝
{The second version is the well-known story that Mengge built a high platform outside the city to investigate the situation in Diaoyu City and ordered people to monitor the city from the high platform day and night. Then he suddenly had an idea to stand on the high platform to observe. Coincidentally, at this time, Wang Jian ordered people to set up a catapult to launch stones at the high platform outside the city. Unfortunately, Mengge was hit by the stone and died of his injuries. }
{Version three: One day, Mengge was observing the movements in the city from a high platform. Wang Jian ordered his men to fire their bows and crossbows. Unfortunately, Mengge Khan was shot by an arrow. In addition, the weather was hot and the wound became infected. The injury and the weather together led to Mengge Khan's death. This statement is supported by the "Hezhou Chronicle" and some other historical materials. }
{According to journalism and communication, the second one is obviously more contagious.}
{Anyway, no matter how he died, Diaoyucheng really caught a "big fish"!}
