Prelude to the Changing Days
Rather than saying that he was defeated by the Mongols, it is better to say that his ability is seriously short. Zhalanding is an unyielding tough guy on the battlefield, with great appeal, and new people follow him no matter how he fails. But in terms of governing the country, he is really bad. The people of Khwarezm have never been happy under his governance, even if it is a little bit of happiness!
After the Battle of Shenhe, there were no more rebels in the land of Khwarezm! The first Mongolian expedition to the west also achieved the final victory!
In early January of the 16th year of Jiading (January), Mu Huali surrounded Fengxiang Mansion, from Fufeng to Qishan to the east, and from Longzhou to the west, hundreds of miles were densely packed with camps of the Mongolian army...
Jin Xuanzong ordered Tejia Ka Qik to quickly help Fengxiang guard Wanyan Zhongyuan. Wanyan Zhongyuan let Guo Bin, the governor of Lintao, who was both civil and military, lead the military. For more than 40 days, Guo Bin repelled Mongolian attacks one after another. On this day, Guo Bin and Tejia Ka Qik inspected the moat and saw a Mongolian sitting on Hu's bed from afar, making many gestures and expressions of teasing the defenders in the city. Ka Qik knew that the other party was relying on his own bow and arrow.
Only outside the range of shooting range dared to be so arrogant, so he asked Guo Bin, "Can you shoot?" Guo Bin replied, "Can you shoot" and the other party was killed in response, and the Mongolian army couldn't help but seize the aura. Mu Huali had to consider withdrawing the troops. "I was ordered to fight for the special campaign. In just a few years, I will take western Liaoning, Liaodong, Shandong, and Hebei. But I attacked Tianping and Yan'an a few days ago, and now I attacked Fengxiang, but I will not stop. It seems that my life will not last long." So I retreated and slowly retreated along the south of the Wei River.
In the early months, Jin general Hou Xiaoshu got a group of mountain soldiers in Zhongtiao Mountain in Jiezhou, Hedong South Road, and decided to regain Hezhong Prefecture. Shi Tianying, who was appointed by Mu Huali, left the Hezhong Prefecture, sent Wu Ze to lead 500 troops out of the east gate at night, and ambushed in the valley. "Wait for more than half of the thieves to attack him quickly. I am brave, but he is addicted to drinking. That night, he was drunk. Uncle Hou seized the opportunity.
The small road went straight to the city of Hezhongfu. Shi Tianying rushed to fight in a hurry. There were only more than 40 cavalry following the left and right, all saying, "Wu Ze misled me." Someone advised Shi Tianying to cross the river westward and go to Shaanxi to meet Mu Huali. Shi Tianying sighed, "If the Grand Master does not offend me, how can I see him? Today is only dead." Shi Tianying fought bloody battles until noon and died. Hou Xiaoshu, who recovered Hezhongfu, immediately pacified the people, burned the floating bridge to cut off Mu Huali's way back.
When Mu Huali heard that Shi Tian was about to die in battle, he was in great pain and ordered his son Wu Ge to attack and lead his people. The Mongolian army led by Mu Huali wanted to cross the river and return east, but the bridge was broken. Mu Huali ordered the bridge to be built, and at the same time told the generals that "it will take some time to build a bridge. I know I am about to die. Now I should seize all the time." So he attacked Hexi and captured more than ten fortresses.
100,000 Mongolian troops surrounded Hezhong Prefecture and wanted to regain this strategic location again. Wanyan Eke sent Sun Chang to lead 5,000 troops, Wanyan Sabu sent Li Renzhi to rescue him. Uncle Hou agreed with them: to use Mingling as a call in the middle of the night, and correspond to the inside and outside. When he arrived in the middle of the night, Hou Xiaoshu Mingling out of the city. But Sun Chang and Li Renzhi were afraid and dared not move. Uncle Hou had no choice but to retreat into the city to continue to hold on. At the same time, Zhang Sizu was sent to break out of the siege and report to Kaifeng. On the 4th, Hezhong Prefecture was captured by the Mongolian army and Uncle Hou died in battle.
On the 9th of the month, Emperor Xuanzong of Jin issued an edict that "the officers committed crimes and were no longer appointed in the past. But now in trouble, talents are rare. In addition to committing major crimes, the crime of imprisonment and prosecution, and those who have martial arts can control the army will be reused." On the 14th, the amnesty was issued.
On the 5th of the month, Zhang Lin, who occupied Xingzhou, West Road in Hebei, surrendered to the Southern Song Dynasty again. The Southern Song Dynasty did not blame him for his past and was promoted to the third level, and was still appointed as the deputy general manager of Jingdong East Road.
On the 11th, Jin Xuanzong discussed the virtues and talents of talents with the prime ministers. "Talents are worthy of responsibility, but those who are not upright in their hearts will not be valuable." Right Prime Minister (Prime Minister) Gao Ruli agreed that "If his heart is not upright and he can use his talents, it is just like a tiger to add wings." Jin Xuanzong also said, "It is rare to have both virtue and talent. Only virtue is often regarded as ordinary by everyone." Gao Ruli said, "Talents cannot be perfect everywhere, but His Majesty wants to use their strengths."
This month, Mu Huali, who crossed the Yellow River and returned to Wenxi County, Jiezhou, Hedong South Road, passed away. He said to his younger brother Dai Xun's last words, "I have helped the country to achieve great things, held the armor and held the sharp edges for forty years, fought east and west, and there is no regret. I just regret not being able to capture Kaifeng. You encourage me."
This genius general who was given fate to a generation of genius Genghis Khan was unable to destroy the Jin Kingdom at all, but the five years of life he had gone through was perfect and perfect! From slaves to generals, from generals to kings, fighting for a lifetime, it was brilliant! His record was greater than that of the Great Liao war god Yelu Xiuge, and the Great Jin war god Wanyan Loushi. His political achievements were even higher than that of the war. God knows how he established a stable and expanding new empire on the vast and complex Central Plains with his own troops of 15,000 people!
This month, Jin Xuanzong, who heard the news of Mu Huali's death, was overjoyed and immediately ordered Mongolian Gang to lead the Pizhou General Secretary to recruit warriors and recover the lost territory in Shandong. He ordered Wanyan Bojia as the acting chief political affairs and established a province in Hezhong Prefecture, and Shi Yongtu were responsible for recovering the lost territory in Hedong Road. On April 1, the Jin Kingdom recovered Fenxi County, Huozhou on Hedong South Road. On May 4, Hezhong Prefecture and Rongzhou. On May 1, Huozhou and Hongdong County, Pingyang Prefecture.
In May, Genghis Khan set up special positions in the Mongol Empire, such as Daruwachi, in various parts of the Western Regions, and officially established the rule of the Mongol Empire on this land. Afterwards, Genghis Khan, who was experiencing the summer heat in Balu Bay, felt distracted and his long-term invincibility made him lonely. So he thought of something that should be enough to please himself: he ordered all princes and generals to approach him. He wanted to celebrate and hold a hunt of an extremely large scale!
Soon, all the upper-class figures of the Mongolian Western Expedition Army, including Subutai and Zhebe, who were expeditioning the Qincha tribe, arrived from all directions, except for Genghis Khan's eldest son Shuchi!
Shu Chi was in an excuse that he was advancing to the distant north to open up a larger territory for his father and the Mongol Empire, but he was really not allowed to come. To apologize, he sent troops to drive away a large number of wild beasts to the hunting ground...
Genghis Khan's first reaction was anger! He had already developed the domineering behavior of all living things in the world and all living things must bow to them, and could not bear the slightest disobedience, even his son!
But then, reason, generated by the great talent and strategy, prevailed. He solemnly announced at the conference: Shu Chi left without authorization, and from then on, he was not qualified to inherit any of his property! But Shu Chi was still his eldest son, and from then on he expanded his territory to the endless distance north, and he would always be the northern screen of the Mongolian Empire! Genghis Khan solemnly promised that the descendants of Shu Chi and Shu Chi could be decorated with tents with gold! The name of the largest and strongest Golden Horde among the four major khanates of Mongolia came from this...
The hunting was held as scheduled, and the Mongolians dispersed with joy. The upper class nobles returned to their troops and began to carry out the final clearance before evacuation! The real owner of this land was Chagatai, and he would be granted here. At this time, Chagatai and others did not notice any other smell. All they could think of was that Mongolia was already the crown prince of the empire Ogede, and the youngest son Tolei would always stand behind Genghis Khan. Then Chagatai was granted this vast foreign land, both for the country and for him, were the best choice!
Now no one can connect the Chagatai Khanate with the Golden Horde…
In order to restrain Li Quan, Jia She, the commander of Huaidong, reorganized the Zhongyi Army: Zhai Chaozong led 8,000 Zhenjiang troops to station in Chuzhou. There were 10,000 Zhongyi Army in front of the tent, with Zhao Bangyong and Gao You leading 5,000 to station in the west of the city. Wang Hui and Yu Tan leading 5,000 to station in Huaiyin County. Li Quan despised the Zhenjiang troops and was afraid of the Zhongyi Army in front of the tent, so he kept praising Gao You and others in front of Jia She. Whenever he sent troops, he asked Jia She to give this army to him. At the same time, he had a private relationship with the generals and schoolmen of the Zhongyi Army in front of the tent, just waiting for an opportunity...
The opportunity was coming soon. On June 11, Jia She saw that Li Quan's power was getting bigger and he was arrogant and violent. He knew that he was powerless, so he tried to return to the court and died on the way. The court sent Qiu Shoumai to take over. Li Quan immediately asked Qiu Shoumai and was approved to classify the Zhongyi Army in front of the account under his name.
On the 17th, Jin Xuanzong accepted the suggestion of the Mongolian Gang and sent people to surrender Li Quan, Yan Shi and Zhang Lin.
On the day, Emperor Xuanzong of Jin ordered: to stop going to Hezhong Province and only set up the Marshal's Mansion. He also moved Duke Guo Wenzhen of Jinyang to Mengzhou on Hedong South Road, and immediately moved to Weizhou on Hebei West Road.
This time, the top scholar of Xixia, Li Zunxu, finally killed himself!
This man took advantage of the Mongolian expedition to the west, first wanted to join the Jin and fight against the Mongolian. He was rejected and then joined the Song and attacked the Jin. Before he could achieve results, Mu Huali suddenly led his army into the territory of Xixia. When the troops were approaching, Li Zunxu suddenly withered, and he immediately became a coalition to fight against the Jin Dynasty... He went back on his word, and even his eldest son, the Crown Prince of Xixia, Li Deren, could not bear it anymore!
Li Deren said to his father: We should negotiate peace with the Jin Kingdom and defend the country together... The top scholar emperor jumped up like he was suddenly stepped on his tail, shouting that you didn't understand anything!
It was not until this time that the top scholar emperor revealed his thoughts! He was talented and thought of many past events. The most successful emperor in Western Xia history can be said to be the founding king Li Yuanhao, but the achievements of another emperor were also very high - Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun! When the Jin Kingdom rose, this emperor quickly looked at the situation, attached himself to the Jin Kingdom, and took the lee from the fire during the great historical changes of the Jin Kingdom and destroyed Liao and Song Dynasty, allowing Western Xia to not only survive safely, but also obtained a large area of land. How similar is this time, Xia Shenzong's back and forth swaying back and forth is nothing more than taking advantage of the Mongolian to destroy Jin and make money in the same gap!
Isn't it possible? The Liao and Jin dynasties are also the Jin and Meng dynasties. As long as it is operated properly, the Western Xia can completely replicate the last lucky one!
As long as it is operated properly, the top scholar emperor kept operating... His only mistake was that he did not understand Genghis Khan, which was completely different from Jin Taizu!
Somehow, there is a traditional way of thinking in China, which always connects Temujin, Wanyan Aguda, and Nurhaci, the outstanding pioneers of the alien race, as if they are of the same level... This is completely wrong!
Whether it is Aguda or Nurhaci, they are just involved in Chinese history and have no intersection with other surrounding countries. Temujin is completely different. He is an important part of world history. His performance and vision are far higher than that of anyone in ancient history! No matter whether he is good or evil, this height remains unchanged! Such a person will not hold on to the hatred of his ancestors and will not regard the destruction of the Jin Kingdom as his only goal!
In fact, Mongolia's first attack point is in Xixia! Because Xixia is at the risk of its development! If it does not destroy it, the Mongolian army will not dare to really exert force and attack the distance. So from a macro perspective, no matter who or how it works, the demise of Xixia is destined!
The top scholar Emperor Xia Shenzong did not understand these things. He was doing everything he could to survive in Xixia! Anyone who opposed him would become his enemy, even his prince!
The prince said in depression that he quit and wanted to avoid becoming a monk! His father met half of his request, deposed his position as a prince, and confined him in Lingzhou City! Then, Xia Shenzong appointed his second son Li Dewang as the crown prince.
After that, Xia Shenzong ignored the country's destruction of civil corruption and mobilized troops to attack the Jin Kingdom to try his best to please the Mongols! On July 1, Xixia attacked Jishizhou on Lintao Road, Jin Kingdom.
On the 4th, the Jin Kingdom sent troops to guard the Yanchi in Jiezhou, Hedong South Road.
On August 1, his subordinate Nahata Luge killed Mongolian Gang and occupied Pizhou with Mongolian general Li Ercuo to rebel! He also sent a letter to Li Quan, who now occupied Haizhou, saying that he was willing to surrender to the Southern Song Dynasty. Li Quan first sent Wang Xier to lead 2,000 troops to accept it, and then he led a large army to set off. On the road, he heard that Wang Xier was imprisoned by Li Ercuo. Li Quan was furious and immediately prepared to attack Pizhou. He was unable to attack. Li Quan was planning to return to the base area Chuzhou. He heard that there was turmoil in Dizhou on the east road of Shandong, so he turned north to go to Yidu Prefecture in Qingzhou to suppress it. Then, the Jin general Heshilie Yehede killed Nahata Luge and recovered Pizhou.
On January, Jin Xuanzong died in Kaifeng. Looking at the emperor's life, his actions were very similar to the style of Zhao Ji and Yelu Yanxi back then. A series of wonderful combinations of actions finally dug up the tomb of the Jin Kingdom! Historical comments of universal significance said that he did three big mistakes:
1 Give up Zhongdu and move the capital to Kaifeng... This lost the Jurchens' century-old foundation, lost the Yanshan Mountains that can be attacked and defended, and occupied all the geographical advantages, and directly turned the Jin Kingdom into the Northern Song Dynasty! The Mongolian cavalry, like the Jin army, took advantage of the situation and soared down thousands of miles, and the Jin Kingdom was doomed to perish!
Not attacking Mongolia and counterattacking the Southern Song Dynasty... The hopelessly silly motivated money-drawn tuberculosis is incredibly stupid! It consumes its already limited national strength and military power on the southern battlefield. Compared with Mongolia, which made huge profits in the Western Expedition, it has increased one by one and the other, and is even more doomed to perish!
Chapter completed!
