Chapter 303: The Yellow River Fu (Part 2) Chahan Temür abandoned Ningling.
With the power of victory, Sesame Li crossed the South Yellow River Road and marched to Suiyang City.
Zhao Junyong led his troops eastward and attacked Chahan Timur and Li Siqi together with Zhima Li.
Guo Zixing and Sun Deya hurriedly led their elite troops to help in the battle.
The third army of Huai'an pointed its flag to the west, following Zhao Junyong.
Tuotuo's 50,000-strong army suddenly stopped on the north bank of the Yellow River and failed to move.
The turbid water in the lower reaches of the Yellow River suddenly decreased, and the flow was not even comparable to that of the Huaihe River.
It was so clear.
Putting all the facts together, the doubts that had been lingering in Zhu Chongjiu's mind for the past few days finally showed their true colors, turning into a huge devil, opening its bloody mouth in mid-air.
Note 1 More than 50,000 Xuzhou Red Turbans, more than 50,000 Suzhou Red Turbans, plus 10,000 Haozhou and Dingyuan Red Turbans each, and 5,000 Huai'an Third Army, totaling more than 130,000 Red Turban rebels, gathered near Suiyang.
Between the old and new rivers.
The thieves such as Chahan Timur and Li Siqi, who had new gunpowder, only needed to send people to blow up a hole in the Yellow River, and in an instant, the seven armies could be flooded.
Suiyang City is located in the old yellow flood zone, and the terrain is originally higher than the surrounding areas.
If Chahan Timur and Li Siqi in the city are well prepared, they can even isolate the river outside the city walls by relying on the city wall and the various original flood control measures in the city.
Standing on top of the enemy tower, you can see all 130,000 red scarf soldiers buried in the belly of the fish.
Thinking of this, Zhu Chongjiu's eyes went dark for a while, his body swayed a few times, and he instinctively held the wall with his hands to barely prevent himself from falling.
Lu Zeng had already squatted down beside him, muttering like a fool, "Eight years, just eight years of flood control.
Six hundred miles of embankment, more than two hundred gaps, and tens of thousands of people."
My life.
Oh my god, why don’t you open your eyes?”
"Okay, stand up."
Zhu Chongjiu picked up Lu Lu Zeng from the ground and waved away the soldiers who tried to help him.
"Let's go to the meeting hall.
Hong San, beat the drum for me to gather the generals."
"Yes" Xu Hongsan gritted his teeth and agreed, then flew away.
Lu Zeng seemed to have had his muscles and bones ripped out of his body.
He half-leaned on Zhu Chongjiu's shoulder and continued to murmur, "Impossible, I must have seen it wrong.
I must have seen it wrong.
They, how could they do this?
How can you resort to such desperate measures?
Even if we are all drowned, this land of thousands of miles will be deserted again.
What good will this do to them?"
"They have never regarded us as the same kind."
Zhu Chongjiu responded with a sneer as he swallowed the sweet and fishy substance that surged into his throat.
"They have never regarded us as human beings.
Thousands of miles of land were destroyed by floods and will be used as pasture next year."
"Pfft" Lu Luzeng opened his mouth and blood spurted out, dyeing his clothes and beard red.
However, after spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes quickly regained their clarity.
He moved his body away from Zhu Chongjiu's shoulders, staggered forward, and said loudly: "Yes, they have never regarded us as human beings.
Ever since Boyan proposed to kill all the people with the four surnames of "Zhang Wang, Li Zhao" At that time, I should have understood.
It’s a pity that I still thought that it was just Boyan’s evil idea.
I actually thought that those who entered China would be Huaxia.”
"Since ancient times, slaves and masters have not belonged to the same country."
Zhu Chongjiu continued through gritted red teeth, passed the old Jinshi, and strode toward the assembly hall of Huai'an City.
The Yellow River bursting is already a certainty.

What he needs to do now is not to condemn the crime with the old Jinshi.
Instead, he tried his best to save people.
Save Sesame Li, save Zhao Junyong, save Xu Da, save everyone who can be saved.
Lu Luzeng was stunned, and his eyes suddenly became as bright as candlelight.
Following closely behind Zhu Chongjiu, the two trotted towards the meeting hall.
The drum sound of "dong dong dong dong" suddenly exploded accompanied by people's footsteps, and like thunder, it quickly spread throughout Huai'an City.
Completely wake up everyone who is immersed in sleep.
When the two arrived at the meeting hall, most of the senior civil and military officials were already waiting for them.
Like Zhu Chongjiu, they also had a vague feeling that something was not quite right about the recent situation.
Therefore, no one had the intention to go back to rest and stayed in the yamen waiting for the latest information from the front.
So, I rushed over as soon as I heard the sound of drums.
"Commander, please order me to kill all the Mongols and Semu people in the three areas of Huaiyang."
Before Zhu Chongjiu could speak, Hu Dahai took a step forward, knelt on his knees, and roared with red eyes.
"My lord, the general is wrong.
The general is willing to lead his troops and cross the Yellow River.
Kill all the officials of the Meng and Yuan Dynasties on the Yi, Tai, Ji, and He roads."
Wu Liangmou knelt down immediately. , his head hit the ground, blood streaming all over his face.
During the day, he was afraid that if the war broke out, it would harm his family.
But at this moment, he would rather sacrifice his own family and drag the entire Mongolian and Han officials of Zhongshu Province to go to hell together.
"The crime of murder and arson will be borne by the future general.
The governor just pretended not to know anything."
Before Zhu Chongjiu could respond, the commander of the Fifth Army, Liu Kui, also knelt down, his eyes filled with cold light.
"Captain, blood debts must be paid with blood, blood debts must be paid with blood" "Those who are not from my race will kill them all.
Let Tuotuo know what pain is."
"Kill all the Mongols, kill all the lustful people, kill all these inhuman beasts in clothes."
One after another, civil servants and generals knelt down, begging with red eyes to retaliate against the enemy in kind.
Zhu Chongjiu turned his gaze to Xu Hongsan and saw that the eyes of his guard commander were also red.
The veins in the palm of the hand pressing on the handle of the knife were jumping wildly.
Just waiting for his command, he would pull out the steel knife and raise it high.
It was Xu Hongsan who lost his cool and told the civil and military officials that Chahan Timur might have blown up the Yellow River embankment before he arrived.
At this moment, Zhu Chongjiu couldn't ask anyone to stay calm.
Except for a very few people such as Lu Luzeng, most of the other civil and military officials in the meeting hall were born in Xuzhou, Suzhou, and Anfeng.
This man-made flood was equivalent to directly destroying their home.
However, this sworn hatred cannot be vented on innocent people.
Although the moment he judged that the Yellow River had burst, Zhu Chongjiu's own heart was also filled with the desire to kill.
He has forgiven countless opponents.
Only a few of these people have left Huaiyang, and most of them have stayed in the local area and become ordinary people.
Some of them have also opened workshops and shops, completely integrated with the local people, and there is not much difference between them.
From Huai'an, Gaoyou to Yangzhou, the number of such people is probably no less than 100,000.
With the fire of revenge, I'm afraid they will be hit immediately and blood will flow like a river.
"Poof!"
Just when Zhu Chongjiu didn't know how to respond to the generals' request, Ivanov, the deputy commander of the Second Army, also knelt down and grabbed the ground with his head, "Commander, the last general, the last time I have followed you has been , suffered four serious injuries and three minor injuries and never took the initiative to take a step back."
Without waiting for anyone to respond, he turned his body to Hu Dahai and continued to kowtow vigorously, "General Hu, old Ivan has been fighting alongside you for more than a year, and I have never been lazy for a moment.
If you want to kill someone, please start with old Ivan."
Kill here.

Old Ivan is willing to use this head to plead for the lives of all the people in Huai'an City."
"My lord, think twice."
Aslan, the deputy commander of the 5th Army's Musket Brigade, also knelt down, with his shoulder next to the shoulder of Liu Kui, the musket commander.
"The last general has forgotten that he is a Mongolian since he surrendered to the governor."
Hu Dahai and Liu Kuiliang, commander of the Fifth Army's Spear Brigade, were immediately stunned and at a loss.
Especially Liu Kui, on the day he defected to the Huai'an Army, his deputy Aslan was captured by Zhu Chongjiu, and was then forced to join the Huai'an Army.
Therefore, it can be said that the two of them enlisted in the army at the same time.
From then on, they fought side by side until now, and they are as close as brothers.
If Aslan hadn't suddenly knelt down, Liu Kui would have forgotten that this man was also a Mongolian and the person he had just vowed to kill.
In the midst of astonishment, Yu Tonghai, the leader of the guards group, and several other guards on duty also slowly knelt down, their faces pale, and they couldn't stop crying, "My lord, little one, little one, wuwu."
Their hair is either golden or curly, and their faces clearly bear the characteristics of the Western Regions.
If their lord really decides to take revenge, they don't know where they will be.
"I, I'm not talking about you."
Liu Kui suddenly turned his head as if he was frightened, waved his hands repeatedly, and moved his body back inch by inch without realizing it.
He didn't know how to explain his thoughts, so he could only turn his eyes away again and ask Wu Liangmou, Geng Zaicheng and others for help.
Wu Liangmou, Geng Zaicheng and others did not expect that many of the brothers fighting beside them were actually aliens and would be targets of revenge.
Everyone stared at each other with their eyes widened in astonishment.
"Get up, all stand up for me.
When did the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping start again in the Huai'an army?"
Just when everyone was at a loss, Zhu Chongjiu slammed the table and shouted loudly, "Hu Dahai, Ivan, you two are going to Are you forcing me to use military law?"
"General, I don't dare."
Hu Dahai and Old Ivan immediately stood up at the same time and apologized to Zhu Chongjiu with their hands raised.
"The last general, the last general just now" "Stand down."
Zhu Chongjiu glared at the two of them, and then turned to Wu Liangmou and others who were hurriedly standing up.
"And all of you, stand up and step aside.
Anyone else who makes loud noises, Never be lenient" "Yes."
Wu Liangmou and others bowed and stepped aside.
Everyone knows that they were too impulsive just now, and they almost had murderous intentions towards Pao Ze next to them.
"And you guys, please step aside."
Zhu Chongjiu glanced at Aslan, Yu Tonghai and others again and ordered in a deep voice.
"Here in this governor's place, there is only a difference between oneself and the enemy, there is no alien race."
"Thank you, Lord."
Yu Tonghai and others wiped away their sweat and tears, bowed and stepped away, their hearts full of gratitude to Zhu Chongjiu.
However, the old Jinshi Lu Zeng took the initiative to stand up and bowed to the handsome man, "In the three areas of Huaiyang, no matter the Mongols, Semu people or Dacannibals, they are all the subjects of the governor.
Of course, revenge is not allowed.
But Tuotuo He ordered Chahan Timur to blow up the river embankment and kill hundreds of thousands of our soldiers and civilians.
The governor has lost his conscience and can no longer show mercy."
"Lu Changshi is right.
The Mongols and Semu people on our side have nothing to do with Tuotuo.
But they must not be spared lightly."
When the generals heard this, the fire of hatred in their hearts immediately ignited again.
He got up, raised his voice, and spoke in a variety of tongues.
"Kill.
From now on, our Huai'an army will fight Meng Yuan again.
We will only kill but not capture any prisoners."

"Kill, anyone who has anything to do with the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, regardless of whether they are soldiers or civilians, will be punished without mercy."
"Pa" Zhu Chongjiu slapped the table hard again, interrupting all the noise in the meeting hall.
He has already had more than a hundred lives on his hands, and he has no longer been afraid of killing people.
However, the country he wants to create cannot be filled with hatred.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang in another time and space knew that in the Northern Expedition's message, he solemnly declared: Anyone who abides by Chinese etiquette and laws, regardless of Mongolia or Semu, is a citizen of China.
He has evolved for more than six hundred years and cannot be inferior to the ancients.
Note 2 "Those who take off their collars are a bunch of poultry, but we are not."
Zhu Chongjiu announced word by word as his eyes swept over the faces of the civil and military officials one by one.
"We rebels are to drive away the beasts, but we are not going to turn ourselves into beasts.
We can't.
We can't turn ourselves into the kind of people we hate most.
In that case, what we are doing now will have no value."
After a pause, he continued, "Pass my order.
From now on, all ships in Yangzhou, Gaoyou and Huai'an, except the navy, rush to Xuzhou.
Save people, save Li Pingzhang, save Zhao Junyong, save Xu Da, save everyone who can be saved, no matter what kind of eyes or hair he has."
Note 1: The excavation of this section of the Yellow River is fictional.
Historically, Tuotuo did not dig the Yellow River.
However, after he captured Xuzhou, he ordered to massacre all the more than 600,000 soldiers and civilians in the city.
The crime committed is less serious than not digging the river.
Note 2: Seen in Zhu Yuanzhang’s Northern Expedition.
For example, Mongolians and Semu, although they are not of the Chinese race, but they are born in the same place between heaven and earth, are able to understand etiquette and justice, and are willing to be subjects, they are no different from those raised by people in Zhongxia.
At a time when public sentiment was raging and people advocated revenge against the Mongols and the Semu people, Zhu Yuanzhang showed rare rationality and tolerance in this message.
Because of this, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were still a large number of Mongolians and Han people standing under the walls of Beijing to resist the Jurchen invasion
