The Great Gold Founding of the Nation
It was amazingly frugal, but he still received scolding from his master thousands of miles away: Bastard apprentice, you are too extravagant! So Wang Laozhi blamed himself, he was sick, and asked for leave... Zhao Ji allowed him to return to his hometown for a holiday, Wang Laozhi walked all the way back to Puzhou, and after returning to the old house, he was silent, and now he died of illness...
In January, the war between Song and Xia, who had been calm for more than 8 years, finally started again! This time the cause was purely because the people of Xixia took the initiative to cause trouble. On the border border between Song and Xia, a Chinese Dangxiang man suddenly wrote a letter to his former fellow villager. This person was Li Eduo, the leader of the Dingbianzhai in Huanzhou who surrendered to the Song Dynasty for many years. The letter was written to the general Liang Duoling of the Western Xia. He said that I had been in the Song Dynasty for 7 years and discovered a big secret. Every spring, the winter grain was eaten up and the new grain was not shipped. This period was the weakest time for the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. As long as they led their troops to kill them, they would definitely win!
Liang Duoling didn't believe it. He said that the Song army had no food, and the Xixia army had no food. Even if he killed it, he would really win. So what did the Xixia army eat? Do you have to bring back food coupons to march?
Li Eduo smiled. General Liang didn’t have to doubt that the Dangxiang people had food when they came. I have saved it for you for 0 years, and they all hid it in the cellar!
So Liang Duoling was overjoyed, and more than 10,000 Western Xia soldiers ran over happily. They were so happy: to kill the weak-headed enemies, to steal the money, and to have people to take food and accommodation? It is a great life to fight this kind of soldier and fight this kind of war!
But after running to Dingbian Village, everyone was hung in the bone-breathing spring breeze. What greeted them was not the kind Li Eduo and the grain in the cellar, but the white earth, and there was nothing on the surface or inside the cellar...
The local Song army had been staring at them for a long time! After knowing what was going on, Ren Liang, the transshipment commander, did not ambush them in the cold weather, but instead poached all the food... Liang Duoling and his Xixia soldiers were so angry that they were crying! Don't bring such a play? In order to run faster, we didn't bring the food for the return trip at all. Now we will be hungry if we go back again!
Finally, they went back, and were frozen and hungry, and the non-combat reduction personnel died a lot. Seven days later, Li Eduo returned to Xixia with more than 10,000 people from his troops. I wonder how he would explain his letter to Li Qianshun and Liang Duoling?
In Xixia, it was already a loss. Looking back on the whole process, a typical case of stealing chickens could not be reduced. So they changed their approach and built a Zangdihe City on the border. However, they did not expect to make the Song Dynasty furious! Song Huizong Zhao Ji personally ordered: Appoint the eunuch Tong Guan as the Shaanxi Strategic Envoy, and the Song Dynasty's Western Army attacked the entire line, so that the people of Xixia knew that it was better!
On January 1, 1115, the 48-year-old Wanyan Aguda announced that the Jurchens were founded, and he proclaimed himself emperor! Regarding the Jurchen Empire's national name, Aguda said this: The Khitans used the name of the celestial iron as the name, which means that the celestial iron is hard. Unfortunately, the celestial iron also decayed! Only "jin" in the world is not changed or damaged, so in the five elements of the Jurchen Empire, gold is white, and the Jurchens also respected white... At the same time, the year "Shouguo" Aguda himself changed the name of the Han name "Wanyan Min". In this year, the Great Liao Dynasty had been established in 2008, the Great Song Dynasty was established in 2005, and the Western Xia Dynasty was established in 2007.
This is the main theme of this year. There is no one in the Song and Liao countries, and no matter what can be compared with it, but there is still one person who wants to mention this year. This person is the 8th generation grandson of the founding emperor Yelu Abaoji. This year he took the imperial examination in his country. He also had the top scorer in the Liao Kingdom in high school! He was good at riding and shooting, both civil and military, had a grand heart and a firm mind. His name is Yelu Dashi! In a sense, this name is not inferior to Wanyan Aguda at all!
On the 5th, Wanyan Aguda personally conquered Huanglong Mansion.
On the 15th, the southwestern part of the Song Dynasty rebelled again. This rebellion was called the "Bulu Rebellion" in history books. The Shuyi of Shuolu in 6 counties, 1 village in 6 counties, Yanzhou, Lunan, and 5 villages in Tuansi'e Cave. Under the leadership of a chief named Bulu, Zhao Yi launched a large-scale rebellion. At the first time, the transferee of Zizhou Road Zhao Yi sent the culprit Lu, the commander of the barbarians to intensify the rebellion, and led his army to suppress the rebellion, but he was defeated. Chengdu Road, Lizhou Road, Kuizhou Road, Zizhou Road, the entire Sichuan land calmed for more than 100 years after the rebellion of Wangjun in Zhenzong Dynasty, and fell into continuous wars for the ninth time...
After becoming emperor, Wanyan Aguda quickly received a letter. The letter was written by his original superior, written by the Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Great Liao Dynasty, and sent a monk slave. Based on the current situation, Yelu Yanxi made a suggestion - Wanyan, you have founded the country, right? Unfortunately, you did not ask for your superiors, and the procedures were illegal. Now I will give you a chance to become the official vassal state of my Great Liao Dynasty. How about it? Kowtow and thank you...
This is really a great favor? It allowed the savage tribe, which was half-primitive and half-slavery not long ago, to jump into the civilized world. What a great change, the Jurchens before could not even think about it! But now Wanyan Agudapai Saila's reply is - Yes! But if there is a condition, return A Shu. Give me the Huanglong Mansion...
Huanglong Mansion is a famous place in Chinese history. It appears in historical books and is circulated in poetry. After years of precipitation, it has even become a household idiom - to hit Huanglong! But what is certain is that before Wanyan Aguda's reply, it was unknown in the long river of history, and it was a small land on the desolate land. But Wanyan Aguda's eyes stared at it, it was a stumbling block in the direction of progress. But it was also the ideal center of the empire in his mind...
This reply naturally made Yelu and Wanyan’s talk collapse. In Yelu’s heart, giving Wanyan a country name and officially becoming his own retainer is the last bottom line. Damn these "residuals" dare to negotiate with him!
Is it that I lost my dignity! I gave it to Huanglong Mansion? I don’t care about that small place, but I can’t afford to lose that person! I don’t want to give it to it, nor do I want to fight with the barbarians on the battlefield? After thinking about it, the Liao people with deep background finally came up with a rational way - to send 00,000 cavalry and 700,000 infantry to move to the northern border. This time, Yelu Yanxi undoubtedly invested a lot of money. He used such a force to approach the emerging Jin Kingdom, with a very obvious intention: to kill it in the cradle and give out the miracle of Hedian!
But after this heavy army was launched, it was hard to see through. The corps dominated by 00,000 cavalry was as slow as the old cows. This huge army formation was slow and dragged its family to the north like a family and its relatives? That's right! This army formation was relocated like a super town, full of oxen, sheep, farm tools and other necessities. This is the shrewdness of the Liao people! They wanted to create a pure military city out of thin air in the north, and survive there while resisting the Jurchens! This method seemed negative, but it was really rational. This time, with absolute superior forces and pure defensive attitude, they finally used the trick of superpowers to bully new small countries. They wanted to use money, people, time to crush you and drag you to death! It was not fair at all, but it worked!
When this army headed north, Yelu Yanxi was once again immersed in a happy banquet and stimulated the hunting ground. In his opinion, at least 10 or even 0 years, the annoying Jin Kingdom would never make him up again. He used these nearly one million people to exhaust the spirit of this generation of Jin Kingdom, and he would rest assured afterwards!
Unfortunately, Yelu Yanxi miscalculated the opportunity! If he did this before the Battle of Hedian, he would definitely get what he wanted. At that time, the Jurchens had to use myths and threats to go to the battlefield, and the number of people was very small... But after the Battle of Hedian, the Great Jin Kingdom was established, and the Jurchens had some support. The most important thing was that their military strength reached 10,000. "It is invincible to rival" this is an iron rule, and no one can break it...
On the 9th, this million Liao army led by the commander Yelu Oliduo, the left deputy commander Xiao Yixue, and the right deputy commander Yelu Zhangnu to the ancient city of Dalu. The war began! Wanyan Aguda sent Wanyan Zongxiong to attack the left army of the Liao army with his right wing and defeated the left army. But then encountered the tenacious resistance of the Liao army. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Wanyan Aguda made several wonderful arrangements one after another: First, let the future Jurchen invincible general Wanyan Loushi and Nichhe (called Yin Shuke in Jinshi) fight hard! Nine in and out, killing ghosts and wolves howls. Secondly, Wanyan Zonggan sent doubters to arrange doubtful soldiers. Finally, Wanyan Zonghan ordered the main force of the central army to kill! After the invincible general in power, he followed the suppression of large soldiers! Then Wanyan Zongxiong defeated the Liao left army and met Zonghan, and finally defeated the million Liao army!
In this battle, millions of Liao troops collapsed! Not only did they lose their positions, but they even stolen farm tools such as plowing oxen were robbed. Those who could escape were scared to death! They saw the terrible combat power of the Jurchens. Faced with a million troops, the Jurchens, who had only 10,000 people rushed up desperately! The rush of Wanyan Loushi and the Nichhi people was even a nightmare for the Liao army (including the future Song army)! More than 10,000 people chased nearly one million people to fight. What kind of scene is this?
Nearly one million Liao troops had not yet run away. After nightfall, the situation formed was that the Liao soldiers were surrounded! Nearly one million people were surrounded by more than 10,000 people! And they failed to break through all night. At the early morning of the next day, the Jurchens launched an attack, and they took advantage of the chaos to run out part of them! All the cavalry were running out, and the specific numbers were unknown. It was just a certain and certain word in history books that said "all infantry were destroyed", which means: at least 700,000 troops died in this battle?
This situation was formed in just one day and one night of battle. What does it mean? The Jurchens could no longer control it! The Great Liao Kingdom had missed their most vulnerable budding period! After the Battle of Chuhedian, even if the correct way to bully Chuxing small country was used by the superpowers, it became useless! After all, strength determines everything!
But how to test your strength? With this victory alone, would you like to prove that the Jin army surpassed the Liao army and became the largest in East Asia? This idea is too advanced! The Khitans do not admit it, and I am afraid that even the Jurchens themselves will not believe it... Otherwise, there would be no future happening.
Let’s look at the battle of Song and Xia: In this battle, the Xihe Road Strategic Commander Liu Fa led 150,000 infantry and cavalry out of Huangzhou, and the Qinfeng Road Strategic Commander Liu Zhongwu led 50,000 elite troops out of Huizhou. He attacked Xixia from the west and south! Tong Guan stationed in Lanzhou, and the two sides supported... Liu Fa fought with the Xixia army in Gugulong and beheaded a thousand levels.
On the 5th of the month, Zhao Huan, the eldest son of Emperor Huizong of Song (the future Emperor Qinzong of Song), was made the crown prince.
On the 0th, the time that Tong Guan had always dreamed of! This time, he got what he wanted most. The emperor ordered: He was the general leader of Yongxing, Fuyan, Huanqing, Jingyuan, Qinfeng, and Xihe to control all the strategic and pacification departments in Shaanxi! From this time on, the strongest army of the Song Dynasty, the Northwest Legion, was the eunuch Tong Guan alone! From that time on, Tong Guan was proud and undoubtedly would do his best to win this battle, thus establishing his glorious image of the God of War in the Song Dynasty. But from what happened later...
This month, inspired by Wanyan Aguda, the Bohai people who had the closest relationship with the Jurchen tribe also rose up! Gu Ting rebelled in Raozhou and claimed to be the king. Yelu Yanxi could only put out fires on both sides and sent Xiao Xiefoliu to lead his army to quell the Bohai people who rebelled against Gu Ting's uprising.
Month, after the collapse of a million troops, Yelu wrote another letter to Wanyan. The attitude in the letter was worse than the previous one. This time, there was no conditions and there was not even a title, so he directly asked Wanyan to surrender. Wanyan was very depressed: Why is this? Did I win the one a few days ago? Wanyan replied to the letter, and the content was almost the same as Yelu's letter, but the signature was changed. In other words, Wanyan did not mention Yelu's title, and asked Yelu to surrender!
In the same month, Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty also received a letter. The writer was a Chinese from Liao named Ma Zhi. Ma Zhi was born into a famous family in Youyan (Han Derang, Liu Liufu of Liu, Ma Zhi of Ma, and Zhao Yanshou of Zhao, who were four major Han surnames in the Great Liao Youzhou). At that time, Guangluqing of the Liao Kingdom was considered a national middle-level upper-level cadre. In the letter, he listed some things that had just happened in the northeast of the Great Liao Kingdom. Due to geographical restrictions, those places were not accessible to the Song Dynasty. Even though the incident had happened for two or three years, the people of the Song Dynasty were also disdainful...
After seeing this letter, Zhao Ji quickly issued an order: The border should do all his efforts to summon Ma Zhi to Kaifeng quietly and quickly, and I would like to talk to this person face to face!
Tong Guan immediately asked Ma Zhi to leave. This person had been in Kaifeng City for a long time? There is evidence that since October 1111, Ma Zhi has been hiding around Tong Guan! October 1111 was the night of the Lugou Bridge that changed the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. And the person who had secretly contacted Tong Guan was Ma Zhi!
More than a year later, what he said had been confirmed. On that night on Lugou Bridge, Ma Zhi told Tong Guan: The Great Liao Kingdom will perish and will collapse very quickly!
