Chapter 937: The Great General of the Jin Kingdom died suddenly
The original inhabitants of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were called the Mon people. After the Warring States Period, some Qiang tribes, such as Faqiang and Mitang, gradually migrated to present-day Tibet. They blended with the local people, multiplied and developed, and formed the Tubo people.
The Tubo State was established around 600 A.D., and then gradually established the hereditary system of chieftains, and after the 8th Zampu Budai Gongjia, the Tubo society achieved rapid development, and gradually transitioned from a primitive society to a slave society.
After entering the ninth century, the Tubo state turned from prosperity to decline, and then the domestic royal family, as well as the major generals, began to fight for power, and the Tubo state collapsed.
Soon after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the descendants of a tribal leader in Tibet established a political power in the Huangshui Valley of Qinghai Province centered on Miaochuan and Qingtang, which was a local feudal regime with Tubo and Qiang as the main body at that time.
After that, the Great Song Dynasty distributed bows and arrows and other weapons to the Tibetan tribes in the Hexi Corridor and other places, and recruited Tibetan archers to establish a military system similar to the Great Song militia among the Tibetans, so as to jointly defend against the invasion and harassment of the Tanguts.
In fact, there are people in the Song State who want to occupy the Tubo tribes and the land of Qingtang, which is called the opening of the Xihe River in history, in the first year of Xining, Wang Shao wrote three articles on the "Pingrong Policy", which discussed in detail the strategy of taking the Western Xia, and its general idea was: "The Western Xia can be captured." If you want to capture Western Xia, you should first recover the land of Hehe and Huang Erzhou, so that the Xia people will have to worry about being attacked by the enemy.
After several years of operation, the Xihe River has recovered Xi, He, Tao, Min, Die, Tang and other prefectures, covering an area of more than 2,000 li, capturing more than 199,000 people from the Bushun Tibetan Department and appeasing more than 30 million accounts of the large and small Tibetan people. In the sixth year of Zhenghe, "the land of the Song clan is all Song County". The Northern Song Dynasty set up counties and forts in the new border of Hehuang, and a new atmosphere appeared in the Hehuang area.
The military campaign against the Hehuang region cost the Northern Song court huge manpower, material and financial resources, and the local Tibetan rebellion made the Song court very passive and forced to invest more troops to maintain its rule. These not only had a profound impact on the Hehuang region, but also had a greater impact on the Song State, and were also one of the reasons for the later demise.
Soon after, Wang Anshi, who changed the law, stepped down, the Xihe River was opened, and all the manpower and material resources that the Song State had invested were put into water.
During the period of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing was in power, and he was in charge of opening border affairs, in June of the second year of Chongning, Wang Hou and Gao Yongnian attacked Huangzhou again, and took Qingtang in April of the following year.
This time, before the Song State could gain a firm foothold, the Chinese Empire in the south rose strongly, and the Jin State in the north soon invaded the south, and the Song State fell to the brink of destruction.
Seeing that the Song State was no longer able to check and balance, Qian Gaixun simply announced his separation from the Song State and established himself as the king in Qingtang.
Qian Gai didn't expect that the empire did not deal with them, but instead made the first move against Qingtang and Tubo, which had been eyeing Qingtang and Tubo for a long time.
The Western Xia Kingdom cannot be compared with the huge empire and the Jin Kingdom in terms of national strength and population, but when it comes to the army, it is definitely the Qian Gai who beat Qingtang.
The Western Xia Kingdom, which had a complete range of troops, invaded Qingtang on a large scale, burned, killed and looted, and the place it passed was really looted, and Qian Gai, who was unable to compete with it, thought of the Chinese Empire, and hurriedly sent people over to ask for dependence.
For these ungrateful Qingtang people who rushed over to hug their thighs when they were weak and established themselves as kings when they were strong, Li Nan naturally did not have the slightest good impression of them, and he didn't even see the face of the Qingtang envoys, so he asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send them away.
Li Nan didn't want to connive at the army to kill and rob foreign races, firstly, it had a bad reputation, and secondly, it was easy for the imperial army to be contaminated with bad habits, and now that there were Tangut people doing these evil things, they could also trade the horses and slaves of Qingtang, so why not?
However, it is not appropriate to let the Tanguts become bigger, so Li Nan secretly sent an edict to the Minister of National Defense Luda to pack a batch of cold weapons replaced by the Imperial Legion and give them to the envoys of Qingtang, and pour some oil on the two forces that are in full swing.
Just when Li Nan thought that the matter of the Northern Jin was temporarily settled and was about to leave for the south to discuss the attack on the Zhenla Empire, a major incident occurred in the Jin soldier camp stationed in the central capital of the Jin State.
This time, Jin Taizong sent three generals of the Jin State to resist the imperial army, the state minister Wanyan Zonggan, the king of Wei Wanyan Zongwang and the king of Zhao Wanyan Zongjie.
These three are the sons of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta, who have followed their father to fight for many years, and they are all very brave generals, especially the second prince, Wanyan Zongwang, the king of Wei, who is the best among them, and is also the former god of war of the Jin Kingdom.
Wanyan Zongwang is also an old acquaintance of Li Nan, the incomparably precious heirloom jade seal was obtained from him, although he has repeatedly fought with the empire and lost his soldiers, and the name of the god of war has gradually disappeared, but the strength of the Aguda department is strong, and he soon recruited a lot of soldiers and horses in his clan, and he is still the strongest in the military.
The incident happened in the Zhongdu garrisoned by Wanyan Zongwang, the general of the Jin State who commanded 200,000 troops first fell ill, but a few days later he actually died of illness!
It is not strange that he died of a sudden illness, but the most incomprehensible thing is that the cause of death claimed by this leading general, who was proficient in swords and guns, and was as strong as an ox, was heat stroke.
It's September now, the heat is over, and the temperature in the north is still lower than in the south, and it's unbelievable that he's suffering from heat stroke in this weather, and that this minor illness has taken the life of a great general.
After hearing this news, even Li Nan and the ministers of the empire, who had nothing to do with themselves, were shocked and inexplicable, not to mention Wanyan Zongjie who was stationed in Ulzhou, and Wanyan Zongjie, who led the army to guard Datong Mansion.
As the so-called wave of unsettled waves rose again and again, on the fourth day after Wanyan Zongwang's death, Wanyan Zongjie, who commanded 100,000 gold soldiers stationed in Ulzhou, also died.
Hejian Mansion was not far from the Jin people's defense line, and after receiving the news of Yan Zongjie's death as soon as possible, Li Nan knew that something was wrong.
In this era, because the medical treatment is extremely poor, and many people do not pay attention to hygiene, it makes sense that Wanyan Zongwang died of an accident, but two generals died in a row, and they were both Wanyan Aguta's own sons, which made things weird.
Li Nan ordered with a solemn face: "Spread my will, call all the armies in the north back to the front line, and make all preparations for battle, it is estimated that the Jin Kingdom will soon have some changes!" ”
The herald hurriedly left after receiving the order, and Ludia asked worriedly, "Is there another war with the Jin Kingdom?" ”
Li Nan looked at the north and said quietly: "It is estimated that the fight is going to be beaten, but it may not be too serious, but Lao Tzu really doesn't want to carry the black pot for some people!" ”
Noticing the puzzled look on Ludia's face, Li Nan explained: "Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zongjie, two important ministers of the Jin Kingdom, died violently, and I can be sure that it has nothing to do with us. The question is, who killed them? ”
Even though she was accustomed to seeing all kinds of conspiracies when she was in Rome, Ludia still didn't expect someone to attack two such important figures, so she said in surprise: "Your Majesty, do you mean to say that the murderer is from the Jin Kingdom?" ”
"Humph!" Li Nan sneered: "Not only is the murderer from the Jin Kingdom, but most of them are also a tragedy of cannibalism!" ”
