Chapter 2260: Sang Tian and the sea are sold out, kill me and kill me, and now the Yellow River
The so-called Nanjing of Jin Kingdom is the city that Monk Wanyan Chen is now trying hard to defend.
In fact, Kaifeng was later, an ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties, a mighty city in the world! Here, there were the Xia Dynasty, the Wei State during the Warring States Period, the Later Liang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties Period, the Later Jin Dynasty, the Later Han Dynasty, the Later Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty and the current Jin Dynasty, which successively established capitals here.
The "two heroes of thousands of years and great success in Daliang City" mentioned in Li Bai's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is here.
Zhu Xianzhen, whose twelve gold medals were recalled, is also here.
The famous "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" depicts its appearance! Here, there are countless heroes and talented people who once gathered the essence of the Chinese nation.
At this moment, it has also become the most important strategic node on the line of resisting the Mongolian army's invasion.
...There are four rivers passing through the city in Kaifeng City, and the water transportation was once extremely developed.
Not far north of it is the surging Yellow River.
During this period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River was less than ten miles away from Kaifeng City.
During this season, you can even see the shiny ice on the Yellow River from the head of Kaifeng City.
The distance between the Yellow River and Kaifeng is always in constant change.
When the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was in Chenqiao mutiny, the Chenqiao was now Fengqiu, which was forty miles away from Fengcheng, and the Yellow River at that time was even thirty miles away from Chenqiao.
However, due to the huge silt and sand content of the Yellow River, its river channels and riverbeds have been constantly squirming.
In modern times, you can even see the Yellow River as soon as you leave Kaifeng, so the Yellow River has been swaying left and right, constantly moving.
The same Yellow River has experienced several large-scale river changes in history, all of which are near Kaifeng.
Originally during the Northern Song Dynasty, after the Yellow River flowed through Puyang, Henan, it was divided into two tributaries: the Southern Sect and the Northern Sect.
The Yellow River in the north enters the sea from the present Tianjin, while the Southern School converges into the Bohai Sea from the Lijin area.
Then in 1128, a hundred years ago.
The Yellow River broke the ridge and diverted from the upper reaches of Zhengzhou, flowing directly south to the Siyang area, capturing the Huai River channel into the sea.
This is the famous "Yellow River seizes the Huai River", which has caused the river situation in Shen Mo's era today.
Later, in December 1232, when the Jin Kingdom was destroyed in history.
At that time, the Jin Emperor Wanyan Shouxu knew that Nanjing could not be defended.
So he ran to Guide Mansion in the northeast (that is now Shangqiu, Henan).
The Mongolian army had been attacking Guide Mansion for a long time, so people dug up the Yellow River in the northwest of Shangqiu and poured it into Guide Mansion, and from then on the Yellow River seized the water of the Si River.
These two extremely huge river channel changes were the second river channel changes in nearly a hundred years.
From then on, a former Yellow River path was left in the Shangqiu area of Henan.
Of course, the second time the Yellow River has changed course has not happened yet.
You may not feel anything when you hear these descriptions.
In fact, every time the Yellow River diverts into disasters, it means that hundreds of thousands or even millions of people are displaced and their family businesses are destroyed, and the tragic phenomenon caused is unbearable.
Although there are no clear records of the existing Yellow River breach in the Song Dynasty, we can refer to the information on the two modern Yellow River breaches: In 1933, there were 54 breaches in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, with a disaster area of more than 10,000 square kilometers and a disaster-stricken population of more than 3.6 million.
In 1938, the general Shang Zhen troops of the National Army scattered the Yellow River embankment of Huayuankou north of Zhengzhou and drowned 890,000 people directly, causing the famous Yellow River flood area, and many years of hardships have not been cured.
In addition to natural disasters, there are also human-caused reasons, which are even more untolerable!... But today's Yellow River is a barrier for Nanjing.
Because although it is ten miles away from Nanjing City, it is a barrier that must be crossed in front of the Mongolian army.
Because of the Yellow River, it would be very difficult for the Mongols to advance and retreat under the city of Nanjing.
In addition, in terms of material equipment for transport personnel, it will also become extremely slow.
Therefore, the current Yellow River is extremely precious to Monk Wanyan Chen who is guarding Nanjing.
At this moment, in the north of Nanjing City and the Yellow River, the Mongolian army had rolled south.
The Mongolian vanguards had 30,000, and under the leadership of the "Golden Eagle of Grassland".\nThe Mongols led by Altan, went south along the lines of Xiangzhou, Anyang and Tangyin, and soon approached Weizhou.
Today, Weizhou is like blocking the Jin Dynasty Nanjing, with the last layer of pitiful fig leaf.
The Mongolians could tear it apart with just a slight force, and then the army could reach the city of Nanjing!...When Monk Wanyan Chen was trying hard to strengthen the city defense, he also received a report from the Mass. The Jin army had reached Weizhou! After that, Monk Wanyan Chen was at the towering north gate of Nanjing every day, looking at the direction of Weizhou in the distance.
Weizhou City will inevitably be difficult to stop the Mongolian army's attack, and it will only take one or two days to be destroyed.
So what Mr. Wanyan Chen saw the Mongolian army, waiting for them to cross the Yellow River in the distance and reach the city of Nanjing.
At this time, Monk Wanyan Chen's heart was filled with anxiety and despair.
He knew that before this, even if the whole country was being used, the Jin Dynasty would be unable to resist the erosion and attack of the Mongolian army.
Before Emperor Wanyan Shouxu went south, there was only a thin territory of the Jin Kingdom. Even after leaving Nanjing and passing Weizhou, it became the world of the Mongols.
At that time, hundreds of thousands of troops were unable to resist the enemy. How could it be the Mongols' opponents with their 70,000 to 80,000 and 80,000 yuan and an isolated city?
Only... die with all his loyalty! At this time, he also knew that when the Mongolian army arrived, it was the time when he died and his country was destroyed!... But Monk Wanyan Chen did not wait for the Mongolian army, but another strange team came.
I saw a ferry raft on the other side of the Yellow River, ferrying densely. Not long after, a team of 30,000 people arrived at the city of Nanjing.
Monk Wanyan Chen frowned and saw that the team was worn out and incomplete in armor. The people were all dressed in their faces and had a good look. It seemed that they had not had a rest for a long time.
It looks like a soldier who was defeated by someone and fled for hundreds of miles before he came here.
Is this... Could it be that the Mongols came to cheat the city with surrendered Jin people?
When Monk Wanyan Chen saw it, his heart immediately became suspicious!... At this moment, he saw a ragged man walking out of the army like tens of thousands of beggars under the city.
I saw him coming to the city, then opened his hoarse voice and shouted: "Where is Marshal Wanyan Chenglin?
Please see you up to the city!"
“Who are you?
Where did you guys come from?”
At this time, the monk Wanyan Chen became more and more suspicious as he looked at him, so he asked loudly at the bottom of the city.
"In the affairs of Damu's relatives, we are vigorous and vigorous... Oreda!"
When the man raised his head and looked up at the city, Monk Wanyan Chen immediately saw a handsome young face.
Although his face was hungry, even his lips were cracked with blood, and his body was covered with scars.
