The Beginning of the Northern Expedition
On the 6th, Zhao Zhijie, a sentencing Song Zhengdan, came to Lin'an. Before this, Han Tuozhou had deliberately sent the priest to violate the title of the king of Jin, to anger the Jin envoy. Now Zhao Zhijie was very arrogant and rude to meet Song Ningzong. Han Tuozhou asked Song Ningzong to return to the palace on the spot and ordered the Jin envoy to change it to the New Year's Day [31 Novel Network
This year, Temujin continued to pursue the remnants of Naiman, and Bu Yilu Heikhan was killed. But Qu Chulu, the son of Sun Khan, still rushed out of the Mongolian battle formation and got rid of many pursuers. He even had the ability to run long distances in the world. The Mongolian war horses that were incomparable for five thousand years were unable to catch him! Qu Chulu slept with firewood and tasted gall, and his story with the Mongols was very long, and it would appear again soon...
The Mongolian army of Temujin passed through the territory of Xixia when pursuing Qu Tulu. This was the first experience for both sides. The Dangxiang people who were used to a peaceful life and the Chineseization of the entire nation were shocked by the sudden appearance of nomadic warriors in the northern desert. The other party's strength and courage shocked their clan!
Strictly speaking, the Dangxiang people have never been pure nomadic peoples. Rather than saying that they started their own business, they were deceitful and unprincipled. This destined that the quality of the Dangxiang soldiers would never reach the peak of the long river of history. The Mongols were different! Their wisdom, management, culture, religion, etc. were not related to "strong", but as long as they got on the horse and drew their swords, the whole world would fall into darkness and silence!
This was the first time that the Mongolian army of Temujin attacked Xia! It lasted for about a month, and went deep into the Hexi Corridor, plundering melons and sand states. It was like a raging wind blowing across the border town of Xixia. Lijisi Village was captured, and then Luosi City. The local residents and all livestock were swept by the Mongolian army. The Western Xia army was at a loss and ravaged. The Dangxiang people were completely panicked and afraid, so that after the Mongolian army robbed all the supplies and withdrew, they celebrated the whole country. Xia Huanzong Li Chunyou was so happy that he changed the capital Xingqing Prefecture to Zhongxing Prefecture... Will Zhongxing be sure to survive the disaster? He was scared and cerebral palsy, and he was speechless with no clue!
History proves that it is not only Xia Huanzong who was confused, but the entire upper class of the Party Xiang team was confused and confused. The matter should be said back: It started when Ren Dejing was destroyed. At that time, the one who was actually responsible for the action was Li Renyou, the younger brother of Li Renxiao. Of course, this was a great achievement for the nation to quell the rebellion! Li Renyou was named King of Yue for his merits, and his descendants should inherit the King of Yue? But no!
In 1196, Li Renyou passed away. Li Renxiao and Luo's son, Li Chunyou, actually demoted Li Renyou's son Li An, from King Yue to Prince Zhenyi. As for the reason? It was because he felt bad about Li An. Xia Huanzong believed that he was "hard and ruthless, and was stubborn." This was not very kind. You can't be biased against someone because he looks vicious, right? This is common sense. Especially in politics, you can only judge things on the matter and reward good and punish evil. Before others make mistakes, they will reduce their points based on their impressions alone. Li An was naturally angry! You spoof me... Look at me spoof you!
But then again, the method Li An used is indeed rare! He used the tradition of the Dangxiang people's mother and son's disagreement! After careful thinking, Li An decided to please Emperor Huanzong's biological mother, Empress Dowager Luo, and asked Empress Dowager Luo to take action to deal with his biological son Xia Huanzong... I believe that anyone who has seen this throughout the ages will be disdainful. How crazy is he to think of such a bad trick? And how weird is he to listen to others and trouble his own son?
The facts are shocking! In January of the Kaiju Year (106), Empress Dowager Luo personally came forward to depose his own son, and helped Li An ascend to the throne, becoming the seventh emperor of Xixia Xia Xiangzong! This is really a superb, too weird, and too unreasonable! I wonder how many people doubt whether Li An is the biological son of Empress Dowager Luo...
No matter how you suspect it, this is the fact! Less than half a year after the Mongolian army retreated, Xia Huanzong, who had just renamed the capital of Zhongxing Prefecture, threw away the throne and became a prisoner. He died suddenly in the abolition site soon. However, Li An's life was not much better than the miserable child Li Chunyou. To some extent, it was even more miserable, because Genghis Khan was thinking about him...
Until then, Li Yuanhao and Wei Mu family, Li Liangzuo and Wuzang family, Li Bingchang and Daliang family, Li Ganshun and Xiaoliang family, Li Renxiao and Ren family, Li Chunyou and Luo family... The first six emperors of Xixia were all going to stage a life-and-death showdown with their mothers! The tradition of mother-son disagreement has finally been staged! However, the life span of Xixia is almost over, and there is still one and a half years left...
On the 5th, He Jin Zhengdan sent Chen Jingjun to say goodbye to Jin Zhangzong. Jin Zhangzong ordered Meng Zhu to go directly to Chen’s inn to warn the other party not to easily destroy the peace agreement in the early years of Dading. After Chen Jingjun returned to China, he reported these situations to the right prime minister Chen Ziqiang, but was warned by Chen Ziqiang not to talk nonsense again!
On the 14th, Wu Xi attacked Mashu Long Castle and was defeated by Jin Jiang Fuxian Chang'an.
On the 8th, the Xihezhou garrison of the Xihezhou Road in Lizhou made an appointment to fight against the commander of the Shaanxi Army of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Gula, and the commander of the Gongzhou Army, Wanyan Qijin, and attacked them with ambush troops and killed seven others. Wanyan Gula's horse was trapped in the mud and was eventually shot to death by a runaway arrow. Wanyan Qijin was saved only by his own life.
This month, due to the increasing number of traitors in the imperial examination, Emperor Ningzong of Song issued an edict: All the grain departments, prefectures, governments, military and supervisors, all the names of the qualified examination papers must be in the same format as the Ministry of Rites. If the juren has a relationship with the examiner, or a marriage family with great merit or above, they must be avoided. Only the palace examination is presided over by the emperor himself, and everyone is a disciple of the emperor. If the father and brother are examiners, they should not avoid suspicion.
This month, the barbarians of Yazhou, Chengdu, attacked the border, and the government troops were ordered to fight.
In order to win the Northern Expedition, Han Tuozhou carefully reviewed the details of the gains and losses of the Southern Song Dynasty's regular Northern Expedition before the war, and noticed the very depressing and puzzling crux of the depressing and puzzling - every time the Northern Expedition, Shuchuan always had problems and could not cooperate with the main battles in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River!
You can say that it is all accidents, such as Wu Jie's sudden illness, Wu Lin was suddenly plotted against by Shi Hao before the decisive battle, etc. But now this problem must be solved, and Han Tuozhou is prepared!
On the 1st of the month, Cheng Song, a former co-magistrate of the Privy Council, was appointed as the Sichuan Xuanfu envoy, and led his army ten thousand to station in Xingyuan Prefecture on the East Road of Lizhou; Wu Xi was the deputy envoy of the Sichuan Xuanfu envoy. He led his army 60,000 to station in Hechi, Fengzhou, Lizhou West Road.
But at this time, Wu Xi had grown rapidly and could not lose his head. As the deputy envoy, he did not go to visit the official envoy at all, but sent people to join Cheng Song's 1,800 guards!
This is really too strong, but no one is nervous about it. The three generations of the Wu family are in charge of Shuchuan, and they have always been in charge of military, political and financial powers. Because of this, the Wu family army can resist the Jin Dynasty alone and ensure that the upper reaches of the Yangtze River are not lost! At this time, Wu Xi's domineering arrogance is easily interpreted as heroic martial arts and courage, which greatly increases confidence in him...
In Han Tuozhou's view, Shuchuan was the time to go out to fight, which solved the last hidden worries of Kaixi's Northern Expedition...
Only the Da'an Army on the East Road of Lizhou, An Bing, the disciple of Wu Xi's father Wu Ting, wrote a letter to Cheng Song, "Ten Worries" when he was in Cheng Song. Later, in a night talk with Cheng Song, An Bing firmly said, "Xi will ruin the country." Unfortunately, Cheng Song refused to listen.
On the 4th, Qian Xiangzu, the assistant minister, was dismissed for opposing the Northern Expedition.
On the 8th, Xu Bangxian, the governor of Chuzhou, entered the court and proposed two points: 1. Ask Emperor Ningzong of Song to establish a crown prince; ask him to give up the Northern Expedition. He was impeached by the Censor Xu Nan and dismissed from office.
This month, the man of Yazhou invaded the Daomen Village about 5 kilometers northwest of Yazhou, and was cut off by Cao Qi, the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate of the magistrate, and led the army to suppress the rebellion. On April 1, Zhang Shikui led his troops to Shiyang between the magistrate of the magistrate and the magistrate was scared and wanted to surrender. So he angrily attacked the magistrate and plundered the Shuidu Village. At this time, Qu Yan suggested to Lu Cao that "the thieves are not prepared now, so we can open the magistrate door and rush out." Lu Cao refused, "Shangguan's order, as long as we defend the magistrate, don't cause trouble." Zhang Shikui also withdrew the army back to Yazhou, leaving only 300 soldiers to defend themselves. So the magistrate was burned by the barbarian army, and the official army was defeated, preparing to kill Zhang Qian in battle.
In April, Han Tuozhou ordered: Kaixi's Northern Expedition officially began! The troops were divided into three groups: the battlefield on the east road was in Lianghuai, the commander was the chief censor Deng Youlong, the commander was the deputy commander of the Palace Front Department Guo Ni; the middle road was in Hubei, the commander was the Minister of War Xue Shusi, the commander was Zhao Chun and Huangfu Bin; the west road was Sichuan. The commander was Cheng Song and the deputy general Wu Xi.
The battle started first on the East Road! The terrain of the two Huaihe Rivers is flat, which is conducive to the long-term entry. Before the war, Lin'an also sent three imperial guards to support the line of fire, which shows the importance he attached to it! On the 5th, the left-wing Song army on the eastern front entered the north bank of the Huai River, Shouzhou on Nanjing Road, Jin Dynasty.
The Jin Kingdom reacted very quickly. The Bozhou defense envoy, Saint Nu, led an army of 600 to support, and the Song army tried a little and retreated quickly.
The beginning seems unfavorable. It is not just a matter of victory or defeat, but why is the Jin army prepared? You should know that Kaixi's Northern Expedition did not have any official statements in advance, nor did it have the usual activities such as the general's oath... The sneak attack is the king!
But now the sneak attack failed! On the 1st, the Jin Dynasty commander Heshi Lieziren, the commander of the Henan Army of the Jin Dynasty, reported that Huangfu Bin of the Southern Song Dynasty sent 40,000 troops to attack Tangzhou and 10,000 troops to attack Dengzhou! Now I request that the various areas of Nanjing Road be divided into jurisdictions: Zheng, Ru, and Junzhou soldiers to Changwu, led by Heshi Lieyi, deputy governor of Nanjing and deputy chief military officer; the troops from Bo, Chen, and Xiangyi were to Guide Prefecture, and were led by Shan Duo, deputy governor of Henan Road; the 7,000 troops and horses from Shandong and East Road were transferred to Daming Prefecture in Hebei, and the Guitong Army Heshi Lie was led by Heshi Lie; the 17,000 troops and horses from Hebei Road were transferred to Henan, and garrisoned Kaifeng with my subordinates!
On the 1st, the middle coach Xue Shusi was appointed as the envoy of Hubei and the west of Beijing; the east coach Deng Youlong was appointed as the envoy of the two Huai Rivers. The west coach Cheng Song attacked Tianshui County, Qinzhou and was defeated by the Jin general Liu Duo in Dongkegu.
Song Ningzong issued an edict: Take grain to replenish officials, raise money for the front line! Jin Zhangzong summoned ministers to discuss. Left Prime Minister Wanyan Chonghao and Deputy Minister Jia Xuan all said that this was not the Northern Expedition of the regular army of the Southern Song Dynasty, but some small thieves on the border had crossed the border. Left Prime Minister Pusanduan felt incredible, "Those who are thieves are hiding out at night, how dare they attack the city in broad daylight? This must be the trick of the Song people, and they should be prepared early." So on the 15th, Pingzhang's political affairs Pusankui was ordered to come to Kaifeng to rebuild Henan Province, command the troops to guard the key points, and have full responsibility for the war against the Song Dynasty, and have the right to engage in the cheap.
On the 17th, Wu Xi, deputy general of the West Road, also served as Shaanxi and the Hedong Road Punishment Envoy. On the 18th, the Sanya Imperial Army was ordered to go to Lianghuai East Road to take over defense.
Li Bi, acting assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, reported: In order to boost the hearts of the people in the Northern Expedition, the best way is to denounce Qin Hui! So on the 19th, news that was very pleasing to the hearts of the people came out! The Southern Song Dynasty official pursued Qin Hui's title and demoted him to Duke Heng. He pursued the original posthumous title "Zhongxian" and changed it to "Miao Chou". A classic saying emerged in the lyrics of the demotion of feudal lyrics, "One day to indulge the enemy, it will cause worries for several generations. A hundred years of ruins, who will hold the responsibility of everyone?" "With the soldiers in the five materials, who can get rid of them! The preparations for the frontier are the ones. The ministers have no two hearts, and the way of heaven is to bear to forget the hatred of the king and father."
On the 4th, the head general of the East Road, Guo Ni, also served as the envoy of Shandong, Jing and Luo; the head general of the middle road, Zhao Chun, and Huangfu Bin, also served as the chief and deputy head general of the Northwest Road of Jing.
The battle is in a stalemate, and it seems that there must be strong generals on the Eastern Front to open up the situation! As a result, a famous general, Bi Zai, staged his extremely short but dazzling glory!
Bi Zaiyu's father Bi Jin was Yue Fei's general. He was born in the family. Bi Zaiyu not only had an amazing combat power, but also achieved the rare combat skill of "sweeping 7 buckets of bow stones, 1 stone 8 buckets of back, 1 stone 8 buckets of step, and 5 buckets of horses". He was also a legacy of Yue's army. He was honest and resolute, and could not tolerate the officialdom. When the war started, he was 60 years old, but his official rank was still just a small Wu Jielang... a sesame official!
But the reputation of a generation of famous generals in the army is at its peak! Bi Zai met a black horse when he rode a black horse when he was about to fight. He was named "Black Bug". He was not a horse, but a beast! He wore an iron puff and a ghost-covered mask, and was ferocious and fierce, just like Di Qing of the Northern Song Dynasty reborn!
Guo Ni ordered him and Chen Xiaoqing to fight. He asked to personally select the new assassin's death army. The elite selection was only 87 people, and even him, less than a hundred cavalry. This is how the famous general Bi Zaiyu stepped onto the battlefield of Kaixi's Northern Expedition!
The first battle of the Northern Expedition was Sizhou, the southeasternest end of Nanjing Road in the Jin Dynasty. "Fengyang Prefecture Chronicle" "Sizhou looks at the Huai River in the south and controls the Bian River in the north. Although the land is flat, the ridges and ridges are erected, the mountains and rivers are arched, the wind is condensed, and the form is beautiful." This is not a random statement, nor is it exaggerating. More than 10 years later, a strong man who reorganized China and established the universe was born nearby! After becoming the emperor, he found his own ancestral tomb here, and thus built a large-scale construction to build the most prominent cemetery at that time - the Ming Dynasty's ancestral tomb!
