Among the ministries, the most important is the Ministry of National Defense, which consists of the General Staff, the General Logistics Department, the General Headquarters, the Navy Department, the War Department, and other institutions.

Among Li Nan's ministers, there are many outstanding talents who are his concubines.

If this were placed in other countries in the world, they would encounter resistance from top to bottom when they took up official positions, but fortunately, the Chinese Empire was a new country, so in addition to the titles of concubines, they also held important positions in various ministries of the empire.

On the occasion of the celebration of the whole country of the Chinese Empire, on the Yongxing Military Road in the west, the 110,000 Song army led by the seed master Dao was fighting with the 80,000 iron cavalry of the Western Xia.

The world is unpredictable, if the original historical process is followed, then at this time, the domestic reserves are exhausted, and the Song State will definitely be defeated by the Western Xia army, but no one expected that the final defeat was the Western Xia army.

In the past, the Song army, which lacked cavalry, used steady and steady pillbox tactics to deal with the Western Xia, and used fortified city walls to counter the opponent's iron cavalry.

Since suffering a heavy loss at the hands of the Zhennan army, the Song Dynasty began to vigorously develop imitation muskets and grenades.

The commander of the Song army, Chongshi Dao, was worthy of being a famous general at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he used trenches, thistles and pre-buried explosives to defeat the Western Xia army without being familiar with thermal weapons, and Li Liangfu, the general of the Western Xia army, was killed by a musket in the melee.

The morale of the Western Xia army, which lost its commander, plummeted, and it was defeated in successive battles, and finally not only recovered Qinfeng Road by the Song army, but also lost more than 40,000 cavalry.

Western Xia has been pressed and beaten by the Song State over the years, and if there was no intervention from the Liao State and the intervention of the high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the country would have been destroyed long ago. Especially during the reign of the Empress Dowager Liang, the soldiers were lost, and now the country's soldiers are only 100,000, but this time they lost half of them in this battle.

After recovering the Qin Feng Road, the Seed Master Dao did not stop and led the Song army to continue to advance towards the territory of Western Xia.

Li Qianshun was shocked when he learned of this, and while gathering troops for defense, he sent envoys to the Jin State and the Chinese Empire to ask for assistance.

For the rescue envoys of the Tangut people, Li Nan didn't bother to deal with them at all, but he didn't expect the Jin Kingdom to send troops.

The Jin State did not mention the Western Xia incident, but accused the Song State of sabotaging the maritime alliance signed by the two countries.

It was clearly stated in the Maritime Alliance that the Song State was not allowed to accept any traitors from the Liao State, but Huizong Zhao Ji could not resist the temptation to take back Pingzhou, and still accepted Zhang Jue, the envoy of Goupingzhou who first lowered the gold and now wanted to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

After destroying the powerful Liao State, today's Jin State can be said to be the first power at that time, and it can be called a strong army, like the sun, how can the general Zhang Jue defect to the Song State?

After learning of this, the lord of Jin sent the second prince Wanyan Zongwang to the south to conquer Pingzhou.

After Yan Zongwang led his troops to occupy Ping, Ying, and Luanzhou, he learned that the rebel general Zhang Jue had fled into Yanjing and hid in Guo Yaoshi's victorious army, so he sent someone to Yanshan Mansion with an official document and asked Wang Anzhong for Zhang Jue, saying: "I begged the rebels, the city is broken and I am gone, and I should return it when I walk in the Southern Dynasty." ”

Wang Anzhong hurriedly went to the court to ask for instructions on how to deal with it. Song Huizong issued a secret edict asking Wang Anzhong to hide Zhang Jue and not hand it over to the Jin people, saying that he didn't know where this person was.

Wanyan Zongwang is not a stupid person, he is not so easy to fool, so he naturally does not believe in this statement, so he sent someone to continue to ask for it, and his attitude is very tough.

Wang Anzhong couldn't bear it, so he had to ask the court again. Song Huizong simply issued an edict saying that Wang Anzhong should kill a person who looked similar to Zhang Jue and send it to Jin Jun to calm the situation.

The head of Zhang Jue's stand-in was soon sent to Pingzhou, and Zong Wang asked Liu Yanzong to identify it. Liu Yanzong and Zhang Jue are both former Han officials of the Liao State and are very familiar with each other, Liu Yanzong recognized this as a fake at a glance, not Zhang Jue himself.

Wanyan Zongwang was furious, and immediately sent someone to Yanjing again, and said to Wang Anzhong in stern terms: "This is not Zhang Jueye, Zhang Jue is hiding in Wang Xuanfu's armor storehouse. If you don't give it to me, I'll take it for myself. At this time, the main force of the Jin army was still assembled, and the atmosphere of the war was very tense. Wang Anzhong hurriedly played and said: "I will not send it, I am afraid that the army will be launched." ”

Song Huizong was a little frightened, so he urgently summoned Wang Hao, Cai You, Liang Shicheng and others for consultation, and finally had no choice but to decide to kill Zhang Jue.

After Wang Anzhong received the secret order, he sent someone to take Zhang Jue to the Xuanfu Division and "count his faults and force him to be executed". Zhang Jue "died of a very good speech". After Zhang Jue was hanged, he stained his head with mercury, "sent a letter to Pingzhou", and handed it over to Zongwang. At the same time, Zhang Jue's two sons were also sent to Pingzhou and handed over to Zongwang.

After the news spread, "General Yan and the victorious army wept for it." Guo Yaoshi openly said indignantly to people: "If the Jin people want Zhang Jue, the court will deal with them, and if they ask for a pharmacist, they will also be with them?" If you come to ask for a pharmacist, what can you do? Zhang Linghui and other generals were also very cold to the Song Dynasty, and even gritted their teeth with hatred. From then on, the Changsheng army began to have two hearts towards the Song Dynasty.

Although Zhang Jue died, the matter was not over, and the Jin State saw that the Song Dynasty was strong outside and weak inside, and secondly, he thought that the Song Dynasty was not trustworthy and broke the covenant, so there was a sense of revenge.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the demeanor of the Central Plains has been majestic for many years, and the Jin State is still a little hesitant to attack the Song State from top to bottom, but it just so happened that at this time the Western Xia attacked the Song State.

The Song State has repeatedly lost a lot of food and grass in the war, and the more than 100,000 troops led by the master Dao this time are already not many soldiers to fight, but now they are all contained in the territory of Western Xia, and a war to destroy the country is about to begin.

Seeing this God-given opportunity, the highest decision-making level of Jin Guoguo unanimously decided to send troops south to attack the Song Dynasty!
