Of the thirty mu of land, ten mu must be of superior quality, and ten mu must be of medium quality.
Adding thirty taels of silver, that would make someone a millionaire in the early 2000s.
After fighting for so long
Huang Yi has not taken any action.
It's like we're not in Yangzhou.
That day, Feng Mofeng came to report.
Feng Mofeng arrived a month and a half ago with hundreds of skilled fighters.
The main purpose was to gather intelligence.
Huang Yi always lived in a villa in Yangzhou.
"Greetings, Your Majesty"
Feng Mofeng can no longer be addressed as "Junior Brother" directly; a more formal form of address is required.
When discussing official business, Huang Yi became more formal.
"Senior Brother Feng, how's the investigation going?"
Huang Yi had been having Feng Mofeng gather intelligence on Ögedei Khan's movements.
Feng Mofeng reported, "This Wokotai is always protected by skilled guards."
"I didn't see Ao Debiao or Ouyang Feng."
"However, there are quite a few other experts from the Western Regions."
“He has three large tents where he stays every night, just in case His Majesty launches a surprise attack.”
"In the past few days, we have just identified Ögedei's pattern."
“He drinks strong liquor every night, and our spies can find out where it’s delivered each night.”
The strong liquor was a 45-degree spirit developed after Huang Yi ascended the throne.
The imperial court implemented monopolies on salt and iron, spirits, and tea.
Huang Yi didn't care about ordinary low-alcohol liquor.
The imperial court had a special department to brew and sell high-proof liquor in order to earn money for military expenses.
"Very good, Senior Brother has made a great contribution."
"Summon General Yang Kang, who is leading the expedition to the east"
"Please summon the Imperial Father-in-Law, Yang Tiexin."
The two arrived
"Greetings, Your Majesty"
Huang Yi nodded and ordered tea to be served.
The tea was prepared in advance and is now at a suitable drinking temperature.
Huang Yi took two sips first
Tell them not to be nervous.
Yang Kang
"I am here"
"Prepare for a night attack tonight. Once I have killed Ögedei Khan, I will give the signal for a full-scale offensive."
"According to the purpose"
Yang Tiexin
"I am here"
"Make thorough logistical preparations and march on Xuzhou in one fell swoop."
"According to the purpose"
Huang Yi offered the two men tea.
Then he said, "Your ancestor followed Yue Fei in the Northern Expedition, but it was unsuccessful. Now, you and your father are joining forces. It will take at least three years, and at least a year and a half."
"We will surely conquer our ancestral lands of China."
"Your Majesty is wise; we will serve you to the death!"
The two left to prepare their own things.
Huang Yi then looked at Feng Mofeng
"Senior Brother Feng, when you send men north to prepare for the attack on Xuzhou City, you'll need a group of martial arts practitioners."
"Your Majesty, Senior Sister Mei has arrived. She will go to Xuzhou first."
"In addition, the seven major sects, with a total of over a thousand people, have also infiltrated Xuzhou City in batches."
Everything is ready
The annihilation of the Mongol army of hundreds of thousands is imminent tonight.
Huang Yi then sent a message to Lu Guanying via carrier pigeon, instructing him to prepare for an attack on Xi'an from the north.
Into the night
Ögedei was extremely agitated.
After the fall of the Song Dynasty, the Qin army became even more difficult to defeat.
After fighting for so long, the losses were actually greater than those on the Qin side.
Ögedei was extremely angry
His prestige plummeted after he was captured once.
His brother Tolui controlled more than half of the army, posing a great threat to his throne.
Ögedei was very afraid of Huang Yi
He wouldn't have personally led the expedition if it weren't to consolidate his position as Khan.
Once outside Yangzhou, he barely dared to show his face.
I can't fall asleep every night without drinking this strong liquor.
After Huang Yi developed this wine, he also sold it to the north through many channels.
In Mongolia, this strong liquor is very popular.
In just a few months, Huang Yi earned millions of taels of silver from this wine.

This wine alone is enough for Huang Yi to maintain basic military expenses.
Ögedei Khan was in a bad mood.
Holding a strong liquor bottle, he gulped it down in large mouthfuls.
The liquor isn't sold very often in the north.
Therefore, not everyone can drink it.
Ögedei could drink however he pleased.
When the servants brought the strong liquor over...
Feng Mofeng quickly pinpointed his location.
Inside the large tent of the western camp
Huang Yi received the message
Start preparing
The giant eagle had many strong liquors strapped to its body.
Prepared to be used to burn their stables
Their warhorses were mostly kept in the stables at night.
Once these warhorses are startled, the Mongols' fighting strength will plummet.
Inform Yang Kang and the others to prepare.
Huang Yi set off after midnight.
Feng Mofeng has already given us the specific location.
When Huang Yi flew over Ögedei Khan
In the large tent below, only a small oil lamp was lit inside.
There were no lights within dozens of meters around.
The other tents were mostly brightly lit.
