Jin Guo moved the capital

On the 5th of the month, An Bing was recalled from Sichuan and served as the chief minister of the Privy Council. Dong Juyi, the Chengdu Road Pacifier, was promoted to Sichuan General Administration.

On the 15th, the Jin Kingdom sent envoys to the Southern Song Dynasty and made a request, "We have no money when fighting now. The annual monies of the Southern Song Dynasty last year and the second year this year were not paid due to the war. Are you giving them now?"

On the 18th, due to the failure of grain transportation, the city of Zhongdu was short of food. Emperor Xuanzong of Jin ordered the city to plunder the city. Suddenly, the city was in chaos.

On the other hand, Wanyan Xun appointed his second son, Wang Wanyan Shouchun, the chief inspector of the palace front and commander of the guards, and also served as the affairs of the Marshal's Mansion.

Genghis Khan rejected the generals' request to conquer Zhongdu City in one go, and sent Sabal to the city to meet Jin Xuanzong. "I have all the land in the Central Plains for me. You only have one Zhongdu City, can you still defend it? Now I plan to discuss peace with you, but the generals don't follow me. Should you give me some rewards to the master to relieve my generals' anger?" Faced with Genghis Khan's request to negotiate peace, Gao Qi, the Shuhu, advocated a fight to the fight. But the Marshal Wanyan Chenghui and the Left Prime Minister Tu Shanyi both believed that peace should be negotiated. So Jin Xuanzong sent Wanyan Chenghui out of the city to meet Genghis Khan.

On the 5th, the peace agreement between Mongolia and Jin Dynasty was officially reached. The Jin Dynasty married Wanyan Yongji's daughter Princess Qi to Genghis Khan. He also offered gold and silk, 500 boys and girls, 000 embroidered clothes, and 000 horses. The Mongolian army returned to the north of the Mobei region with full spoils. Many counties and counties in Shandong captured were also plundered and abandoned. Wanyan Chenghui personally sent it out of Juyong Pass, and Zhongdu City was also lifted.

On the 7th, the Mongolian army captured Lanzhou on the northeastern road of the Jin Kingdom River, and Wugulun Zhongwen was killed in battle.

On April 1, Emperor Xuanzong of Jin announced a general amnesty and ordered Pusankui's son Pusan ​​Anzhen to be the envoy of Xuanfu to appease the remnants.

But now, the Central Plains has been completely destroyed! If the last war caused the Jin Kingdom's vitality to be severely damaged, then it was almost damaged and lost all its vitality!

The current Zhongdu City seems to be a lonely boat in the vast ocean. From Dutong to Meng'an, there are no less than 10,000 senior officers in the city. This is very similar to Berlin before the destruction of Nazi Germany in later generations. The soldiers are basically gone, and all the officers resist. The difference is that at this time, the hearts of the Zhongdu City disintegrated and "all the generals and generals are unwilling to fight."

It’s still a trivial matter if you don’t want to fight. What’s important is that life has become a problem! Even around Zhongdu City, even thousands of miles away, has become a large area of ​​scorched earth! It’s all burned and plundered, and even food cannot support the capital, let alone loyalty!

The Jin regime was in name only. However, the Mongolian army was still watching the tiger outside the border, and the morning trip could arrive in the evening. If this continues, it would be awaiting death! Since Wanyan Liang moved the capital, Zhongdu, which had been in the capital of Jin for 61 years, could no longer support it. It was a foregone conclusion! Jin Ting then proposed to move the capital to Kaifeng, Nanjing.

The court officials were divided into two factions. The resistance faction led by the left prime minister Tu Shanyi believed that sticking to Zhongdu was the best strategy. "As soon as the throne moves, the Central Plains will inevitably not defend. Now it has been said that the troops gather and grain accumulate to defend the capital is the best strategy. The fundamental land of Liaodong is based on the mountains and seas. It is dangerous and reliable, and the imperial guards are one side, thinking that the future plan is the next step."

The escape faction was led by Pusanduan, the left-behind defender in Nanjing. They believed that giving up Zhongdu was rational. When moving to Nanjing, Kaifeng, the former capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a natural danger of the Yellow River, which was enough to defend against the Mongolian army with cavalry as its main combat power.

The two sides could not stand together, and the new emperor Wanyan Xun could not make a decision... On the 16th, Tu Shanyi passed away. Jin Xuanzong appointed Zhang Xingxin as the Shandong Transport Censor.

In May, Jin Xuanzong left Wanyan Chenghui, and helped Prince Wanyan Shouzhong stay in Zhongdu. He took all the officials and fled south in a hurry in the harem...

Is Kaifeng good to be a national capital? The Northern Song Dynasty a hundred years ago was a clear proof, so there is no need to discuss this at all. But due to the current situation, if Jin Ting held on to Zhongdu, he would not have to go south, and he would probably starve to death... This is the reality!

So escape, in the name of survival! But if you want to run, run well. The Jin emperor didn't know what to do. No matter who came to power, there were all kinds of inconveniences!

Having just fled to Liangxiang County 5 kilometers southwest, Wanyan Xun suddenly remembered that a large part of the accompanying army was the Yamen, and these were all rebellious aliens! Isn’t it too unsafe to carry them with them at critical moments? So he ordered the horses and armor of the Yamen to be taken back, and barely leave them weapons...

This order made the Orion army, who had already suspicious and had a volatile morale, mutiny immediately! They killed the Jurgent commander Wanyan Suohui, and elected Zhada, Beshile and Zhalar as the commander. The whole army returned to Zhongdu north! Wanyan Chenghui, who was in Zhongdu, heard the change and sent troops to block the Lugou Bridge to prevent the rebels from entering the city. However, the Orion army was very familiar with the terrain. They divided their troops to cross the south of the bridge, attacked on both sides, and defeated the Zhongdu defenders! After that, they contacted Yelu Liuge in Liaodong and surrendered to Mongolia north...

With the superposition of various factors, Genghis Khan knew that the time was ripe again. There was no need for him to personally fight again. He just needed to send a few generals to settle the capital of the Jin Kingdom!

Genghis Khan sent general Sanmuhe to the capital on the grounds of the defeat of the Jin Dynasty. The Khitan surrendered general Shi Ma Ming'an led his army to enter from Gubeikou, captured Jing, Ji, Tan, and Shunzhou. He joined the army and besieged Zhongdu City!

The bad news from all directions made Jin Xuanzong frightened to escape on the road! He thought about it day and night, and finally made a decision - to transfer the crown prince out of Zhongdu City and send it to him quickly!

Wanyan Sulan firmly opposed this decision. Gao Qi, Shuhu, said, "The prince should follow his father. Can you guarantee that the capital can be defended if the prince is there?" Wanyan Sulan replied, "I can't guarantee it. But only if the prince is there, the capital will have hope of resistance. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang fled to Shu after the Anshi Rebellion, leaving the prince in Lingwu to be in charge of the world." But how could Jin Xuanzong listen to these honest advice? He ordered: The prince must come out of Zhongdu immediately and come to my side!

This made Zhongdu City and even the entire Jin Kingdom understand the subtext of the government - completely abandon Zhongdu City! The people in the city immediately dispersed, and the reason why they could still support it was because they stayed at Wanyan Chenghui and resisted to the death. In addition, the anti-Mongol hero who was established in time provided sufficient enthusiasm for resistance...

But this alone is not enough, and Jin Xuanzong also knew this. So he still mobilized military force as much as possible and moved closer to Zhongdu City!

This is not a problem with Zhongdu City, it involves the overall situation of Jiangbei! Taking this opportunity, like dominoes, a series of changes followed. Including Hedong, Hebei, Liaodong, Shandong, various forces, as well as local tyrants, farmers, refugees, etc., all took the initiative or were forced to participate...

During the Shandong Red Coat Army Uprising, the larger Yidu Yang Aner, Li Quan of Weizhou, Liu Erzu of Tai'an, Xia Quan of Jinan, Hao Ding of Yanzhou, and other small troops were mixed, with dozens of troops... The most powerful ones were the joint army of Yang Aner and Li Quan!

After the Mongolian army retreated, the Jin Kingdom finally freed up its hands and could divide its military power to suppress the rebellion. Jin Xuanzong spent a lot of money this time! He sent out the most elite Huaha Army, which even the country was in danger, and was reluctant to use! This is a unit with a small establishment but a legendary combat power! Soon after, they will of course meet the Mongolian army on the battlefield...

The Flower Hat Army was led by famous generals and Xuanfu envoy Pusan ​​Anzhen. The strategic purpose was very clear: first concentrate troops, attack one of the main forces in the Red Coat Army, and then surrender the rest after establishing their authority! Yang Aner was naturally the first to be the brunt, and his troops had more than 100,000...

This month, Pusan ​​Anzhen arrived at Yidu Prefecture, the capital of Shandong East Road, and defeated Yang Aner in the east of the city. Yang Aner fled to Laiyang County, Laizhou, and Xu Ruxian opened the city to surrender the thieves. Later, Dengzhou Gengge also opened the city to collect seals. After obtaining the treasury from Dengzhou, the thieves revived. Yang Aner sought to change the throne. After capturing Ninghaizhou and occupied the entire Shandong Peninsula, he attacked Weizhou westward. The thief commander Guo Fangsan occupied Mizhou and attacked Yi and Hai prefectures. His ally Li Quan attacked Linqu County of Yidu Prefecture and guarded Muling Pass, hoping to join forces with Yang Aner to capture Yidu Prefecture. Pusan ​​Anzhen sent Pusan ​​Liujia, Wanyan Enlen and others to fight.

On July 17, in Changyi County, Weizhou, Pusan ​​Anzhen defeated Xu Ruxian's 100,000 thieves in the three prefectures. On the 19th, Ji Qi led 40,000 thieves to set up a formation in Xinhe. Pusan ​​Anzhen ordered Pusan ​​Liujia to cross the river in the upper Jiaoxi and defeated the bandits again. On the 1st, Pusan ​​Anzhen led the Huamao Army to Laizhou. Pusan ​​Liujia led the soldiers and defeated the 200,000 thieves in Shi Paoli in the east of the city. Afterwards, Pusan ​​Anzhen sent Cao Quan to surrender to Xu Ruxian, waiting for the opportunity to open the Laizhou gate.

Welcoming the army into the city. A soldier named Yao Yun, who was persuaded by Cao Quan, prepared to do so anyway... On the night of the 4th, Cao Quan sneaked out of Laizhou City and reported to Pusan ​​Liujia secretly. Liujia immediately selected 0 suicide squadrons to follow Cao Quan. Yao Yun secretly opened the city gate, and Xu Ruxian was killed. The Jin army entered the city in a large scale, and Yang An'er fled alone, Geng Ge, Shi Poli and others surrendered. Afterwards, Pusan ​​Liujia led his troops to pacify the counties in Jiaoxi, kill Guo Fangsan, and recover Mizhou.

On the 7th, Zhen Dexiu wrote a memorial saying that he should take advantage of the opportunity of the war between Jin and Meng, and no longer give Jin a yearly monies. Song Ningzong began to discuss the matter of canceling the annual monies. Qiao Xingjian, the communist of Huaixi Transport, wrote to the Prime Minister, "Mongolia is gradually prospering, and its momentum is enough to destroy Jin. Jin is certainly my past grudge, but now it is also my blocking. We should give them the annual monies and let them block the Mongolian cavalry for us." The proposal was undecided.

The world was in chaos, and the sky was turned upside down, but it was calm south of the Yangtze River. In response to the rise of Mongolia and the decline of Jin, the attitude of the Song people was very happy to be "the enemy of heaven was destroyed". We have never forgotten our hatred for the Jurchens, and have been seeking to repay the blood debt through war for many years. At this time, the Jin Kingdom was on the verge of extinction under the attack of the Mongolian army. We hope that the faster the better and the more miserable the better!

As for some people's proposal that the Jin Kingdom was located between the Song and Meng, and that the Jin Kingdom should be supported in a timely manner so that the Jurchens would always block the disaster for the Song people... This voice had just emerged and was immediately besieged! The Tai students bowed the palace and wrote a letter, demanding that this person behead him to thank the world! No one dared to speak nonsense anymore!

After careful consideration, the Song Ting decided not to send troops to assist in the war, but he had to stop the annual monies and watch the tiger fight in the mountains, so that the country could be out of the matter, and all aliens killed each other and weakened each other... In this way, the interests of the Southern Song Dynasty could be maximized!

When looking at this decision under the sky of history, most modern people will sneer at it. This is very similar to when the Jurchens emerged, when the Northern Song Dynasty and Jin destroyed Liao, in order to retaliate against the oppression of the Khitans over a hundred years! I forgot that I drove the tigers in the front door and entered the back door, and forgot that the alien race that could destroy the old hatred was of course stronger than the old hatred, and then directly bordered and was bullied more ruthless than before... I don’t have a long memory!

But is it certainly good? Should I support the Jin Kingdom? Should I pay money or send troops? No matter which one, can I stop the Mongolian cavalry even if I pay both money and people to support it in all aspects? How naive!

This is just like if the Liao Kingdom was supported, the losses caused by the Liao and Jin wars were astronomical. How could the Northern Song Dynasty support it to restore this decline?

This is not to help increase the power of foreign races and to express the depressed and inaction of depressed and inaction, but to calm and objective reverse thinking. The purpose is to put yourself in the perspective of the Southern Song Dynasty to look at specific issues, rather than to look at the results of history books hundreds of years after the incident, and to ridicule and condemn it condescend to mock and despise it. That is unfair!

No matter how bad the Southern Song government had, the decisions made during the Mongolian-Jin War were really unreproachable. The only difference is that after the Mongolian-Jin War was destroyed, the moral highest point of the war between the Mongolian-Song Dynasty was the end of the morality of the Mongolian-Song Dynasty after the Mongolian-Song Dynasty was destroyed!

If you support the Jin Kingdom, the Mongolian masters will certainly be famous. If you don’t support it, the Mongolian masters will be Wuming, but will Wuming not have war? Will you not pick the bones in the eggs and choose the famous one? This is the general trend in the world!

This month, Wan Qingyiyong, the left Privy Councilor of the Western Xia, sent two monks as secret envoys, and came to Sichuan in the Southern Song Dynasty with wax letters to discuss attacking the Jin Kingdom and restoring the old border. However, Dong Juyi, the Sichuan commander, ignored it. At this point, the connection between the Western Xia and the Southern Song Dynasty was officially cut off.

This month, Emperor Xuanzong of Jin arrived in Kaifeng, Nanjing and made Wang Ni (given the surname Ducha) the queen. His sister Wang Yun (the biological mother of Emperor Aizong Wanyan Shouxu) was promoted to the Yuan Concubine.

On August 8, Prince Wanyan Shouzhong arrived in Kaifeng.

On the 11th, Emperor Xuanzong of Jin sent another envoy to demand that the Southern Song Dynasty pay annual monies.

On the other day, Wanyan Sulan wrote another letter, pointing out the various mistakes of Wanyan Yongji's reign. At the same time, it pointed out that not only did not correct these mistakes, but instead rushed to move south and ignored the people and the country. He questioned Jin Xuanzong: If the Mongolian army again approached Kaifeng City, where will His Majesty escape?

On October 6, the Mongolian army attacked Shunzhou on Zhongdu Road, Jin Dynasty, and persuaded the envoy Wang Hui and his beloved generals were captured and died unyieldingly.

On the 5th, the Mongolian army captured Chengzhou on Xianping Road, Jin Dynasty.

This month, Mu Huali attacked Gaozhou, Lu Cong and Jin Pu on Beijing Road in Jin Kingdom surrendered. Zhang Jing killed the Jiedushi and proclaimed himself the King of Linhai and surrendered to Mu Huali.
