There is a scene of war and chaos on both sides of the Haihe River. Fortresses lined up along the river have ignited fires for the first time.

In the night, the Mongolian Daruhua Chibatulu, who abandoned Haijin Town, was standing on a raised high ground, staring blankly at everything around him.

Why haven’t the reinforcements from Yanjing come yet? Why did the Great Mongolians watch the Han army come and go freely on Yanyun’s territory?

This Han army and horse that penetrated deep along the coastal river was only about 10,000, and was not a big soldier. Although it could fight, it could even pile up people with the troops of the Great Mongolians.

But why did the knight in Jinlianchuan seem to be scared out of fear? Why didn’t he send troops to fight these southern barbarians?

Not only did he not send troops here, he also issued an edict to all the roads in Hebei and Yanyun, and ordered the city to be defended, the walls and clear the fields, and not to fight with the thieves in the wild.

The Mongols were strong and clear, and they dared not fight with the Han people in the field!?

Moreover, this Han people who came along the Haihe River were different from the legendary soft-boy Han army. I heard from several Seme people who escaped from Haijin City for a lifetime that these Han people killed all the Han people arrested all Seme and Mongolian women as slaves after entering Haijin City!

What's more, any resistance or uselessness will be killed on the spot, including many of the Semi-sex people who were injured in previous battles...

This style looks like a Mongolian no matter how you look at it!

Moreover, the Han people in Haijin Town were not spared! They all formed a team and boarded the ship under the "protection" of soldiers, and all went to the lower reaches of the Haihe River.

After taking away the Han people and Semin people in Haijin Town, the Chen family army extended their claws to the fortresses on both sides of the Haihe River. All the people in the fortress (of course, they are Han people) were forced to board the ship and withdraw, just like the people in Haijin Town! All the fortresses that resisted were bombarded by big guns!

Tonight, this group of Han robbers set fire to the villages along the Haihe River again!

It's a thief, you'll just leave if you want to steal a hand! If the Khan's reinforcements don't come again, the Han robbers will really escape. The unlucky Mongolians who stayed in Haijin Town will never be able to take back the wife and daughter of the Mongolians. The property of the Mongolians' wife and daughter was actually robbed by the Han people, and they dare not take it back. How could such a ridiculous thing happen in this world!?

However, as expected by Daluhuachi of Mongolia, Chen Dexing did not mean to leave after robbing. Although he had gained a lot on both sides of the Haihe River this time, the population alone had plundered to no less than 50,000. Considering that the total population of the Han area in the north was only about tens of millions, this number was really a lot!

As for the wealth, the property is even richer. The Han River on both sides are also considered a paradise in the northern Han area, after all, it is directly under Kublai Khan. Haijin Town is also the largest commercial port in Yanyun, and it is also the old camp of the Mongolian navy.

There were no less than a hundred sea boats alone! Among them, there were twenty large sledge sailboats with already built hulls! Together with the shipbuilding wood, the newly sewn sails and craftsmen, they all fell into Chen Dexing's hands! They were also taken to Tanggu Port in the lower reaches of the Haihe River.

The Tanggu Port and the Tanggu City that coexisted with it were the stronghold Chen Dexing prepared to stay in Yanyun for a long time to block Kublai Khan's door. He could slap Kublai Khan in the face at any time!

If Kublai Khan could endure such a thing, he would not be a big sweat, but a big turtle shrank!

Just when the fortresses on both sides of the Haihe River were ignited, the initiator of all this, Chen Dexing, who was called "Ming Kou" or "Ming Thief" by the Mongols, had also retreated to the mouth of the Haihe River, standing in the cabin of the "Pili" warship, looking at the dark Tanggu City construction site from afar and pondered without saying a word.

Tanggu City is divided into two cities in the north and south. The north city is built in a small river called Guojiabao, facing rivers on three sides. Only the north is a convenient land. It has now been protected by trenches and wooden fences. In the wooden fence, a viewing building, a fort and a dock were also built. Cannons were set up on the fort to block the large section of the Haihe River.

Tanggu South City is located in the southeast of the North City. It is across the river from the North City (because of the river curve, the two cities in the north and south face each other east and west). The two cities are planned to be connected by floating bridges to form a corner. Because the North City is in the upper reaches of the South City, when the North City Fort blocks the river surface, the coast of the South City is an ideal dock and berth. Various sea boats with more than 200 are crowded there, and a long queue of more than 10 miles is arranged. The area of ​​the South City is also larger than that of the North City. The defense wooden fences and trenches are built in the south and east of the city, and the east of the city is a large saline-alkali beach (beach). It is estimated that it is the location of Tianjin Port in later generations.

Such a "city" is actually a big village. It is a rough construction. The reason for this is that the General Staff of the Northern Expedition Army believes that Kublai Khan is likely to immediately mobilize troops to counterattack after the Northern Expedition Army lands. Therefore, the Northern Expedition Army needs to build defensive fortifications in the shortest time.

But beyond Chen Dexing's expectations, Kublai Khan seemed to have transformed into a ninja turtle. No matter how Chen Dexing slapped his face, he would not show his head. Except for the few Mongolian cavalry wandering on both sides of the Haihe River and covering the battlefield, there was no trace of the Mongolian army!

Chen Dexing, who lacked cavalry, was reluctant to throw out his only 1,500 cavalry to search, and could not understand Kublai Khan's deployment for a while. He still thought it was the calm before the storm, and he did not dare to take it lightly. He could only keep urging the people to work hard and build Tanggu City one day earlier, so that he could feel relieved one day earlier.

The sound of footsteps sounded behind him. Chen Dexing looked back and saw that it was Zhang Shijie, a military advisor of the Staff Office. Although Zhang Shijie was not well versed in water wars, his ability on land, especially his familiarity with the Northern and Mongolian troops, was definitely the number one in the Northern Expedition Army. Therefore, he was appointed as a military advisor.

"King, what's the matter here? There's nothing to see. Tanggu's northern city has begun to take shape, and even if the Tartars come, they won't be afraid of it. The city will fight to the death. Without the cannons and thunder made by the king, this city might be difficult to defend. But with cannons and thunder... Now, Tanggu's city defense can block 100,000 Tartars with five thousand soldiers!"

Chen Dexing smiled faintly: "It would be great if there were 100,000 Tartars gathered in Tanggu. We used 15,000 people to hang 100,000 Tartars here in Tanggu. As long as we fought a stalemate, the heroes from both sides knew how to choose. The Yidu husband would not always be delayed, as long as Yanyun fought well. We at least have Liaodong and Goryeo."

Zhang Shijie said, "Are you worried that Yidu Gong would not send troops? This is not necessary. Yidu Gong is a little gentle, but Yidu soldiers are still very strong. The Han army in Xu Pi area has always obeyed Yidu. I heard that Zhang Rou Shuntian and Zhang Rongdu from Jinan are ready to rely on Yidu. Yidu can be used as a soldier of 100,000. This is the capital that can become a hegemony, and Yidu Gong will not do nothing... It's just a pity!"

What a pity mean is that Chen Dexing can no longer enter Yanjing.

Chen Dexing shook his head: "There is nothing pity. We can't take over this Yanyun... Even when Kublai Khan's army was outside, he barely fought and did not have enough strength to defend it. Moreover, the people of Yanyun have been ruled by the Tartars for a long time, and they have long been afraid of going to the core. How many people have taken the initiative to compete with each other these days?

This day was not with me, and Kublai Khan also occupied some of them. If they went deep into Yanyun's hinterland, the land would be lost. If I had 50,000 mainland troops, I would have to fight for it quickly, seize Yanjing, and appease Juyong, but I only had 15,000 troops, and I had no chance of winning.

In this battle, my purpose is not to call himself emperor according to Yan, but to pull Kublai Khan off the horse, let all the Han marquis of the Central Plains rise up to oppose him, and let Alibuge and Kublai Khan continue to compete with each other."

This is the benefit of knowing the direction of history. Chen Dexing is very clear about who *oss in this era, not Ali Buge, not Li Yan, nor Jia Sidao, but Kublai Khan! If you want to reverse the general trend of the Han family, you must try your best to weaken Kublai Khan's *oss.

But *oss is *oss. Even if someone blocks the door and slapped in the face, there will be no flaws. The imagined bloody battle in Haihekou will not happen.

Chen Dexing shook his head, turned around and walked into the cabin. Zhang Shijie hurriedly followed. Chen Dexing did not go to his bedroom, but entered the cabin used as a temporary command center. The oil lamps and candles inside were still on, and several staff officers were whispering to discuss the army's plan to set off. Seeing Chen Dexing and Zhang Shijie in, they stood up and salute.

"You guys keep going." Chen Dexing just whispered and came to the wooden table with the construction drawings of Tanggu City. Zhang Shijie followed closely.

The two castles with very strange appearances are completely different from the villages surrounded by two wooden fences. The drawings show two castles similar to prisms. Of course, they are not like prisms on all sides, but on the side close to the land, there are cannon-shaped fortresses and concave polygonal defense systems that can be arranged.

It is a defense system composed of two prisms protruding from both ends of the city wall, a sagging inwardly wall and a wide trenches. This defense system is an inevitable product of the large-scale use of artillery. The prominent prism can use the side fire of the cannon to block the route of attacking the city wall. At the same time, two or several protruding prisms can provide fire support to each other. There are almost no blind spots of shotguns!

"The Mongols don't know when they will come. Relying on a wooden city always makes people uneasy. They have to build the castle as soon as possible." Chen Dexing gently tapped the drawings and whispered, "Military advisor, I will leave two divisions and artillery brigades for you, and all the civilians brought from Goryeo will be left behind. The north and south castles will be repaired within three months. No need to ask about other things, just build the city. If the Mongols come to provoke, don't go to war."
