The rapid changes in the current situation are really a bit dizzying, one turn after another, which makes people in the current situation a little nervous.

After losing the Central Plains and moving the capital to Chang'an, the Western Song Dynasty was originally in a very disadvantageous situation in this "Three Kingdoms Killing".

But in the blink of an eye, because of the determined reform, the depression of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years since its founding was swept away at once.

In the spring of the second year of Jingkang, not only the land reform of the Guanzhong Plain was completed, but also the land consolidation of several roads along the border of Shaanxi was also completed, and the land reform of the Hanzhong Basin was also completed. In Shaanxi and Sichuan, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in Chang'an, there are as many as 250,000 knights and soldiers!

In addition, the Jingchu territory, which once had a tendency to separate, also had to fall to Zhao Huan because Zhao Kai was the emperor in Jiangning.

At this time, the number of military households at the disposal of Chang'an has suddenly increased to 330,000!

Although this number is only about half of that of Zhou, it is enough to crush the Eastern Song Dynasty, Western Liang and Jin.

In this case, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War in Chang'an did not choose to attack the Eastern Song Dynasty in the east, because that would break the balance of power of the Three Kingdoms and cause another major war in the Central Plains.

Therefore, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War in Chang'an still regarded the northern attack and the Jin Kingdom as a phased goal.

Although the current territory of the Jin Kingdom is not large, it is not rich. But for the Western Song Dynasty, which has just recovered from difficulties, it is undoubtedly a good whetstone.

Only when the knife is sharpened can we test the wind direction of the Central Plains.

And there are two purposes for sharpening knives, one is to take Jin Guo to practice and see how strong the combat effectiveness of the military household soldiers who have completed the field granting is there?

Another purpose, of course, is to integrate the interior with an external war. That is, the three forces of the Jingchu Army, the Guanzhong Army and the Shaanxi Border Army were twisted into a group.

For this reason, the Western Song military department has been negotiating with the Jingchu army in the past few months - the relationship between Jingchu, Guanzhong and the Shaanxi border army is really a bit complicated. It is not three separate warlord groups. Because their backbone comes from the martial arts academy in Kaifeng. It can be said that you have me, and I have you, but they are not completely one.

At least not yet!

Therefore, the Western Song Dynasty Military Department and the Privy Council wanted to completely unite the three sides through a war.

The negotiations on all sides at the bottom were basically reached in the first month of the second year of Jingkang.

The Shaanxi Border Army and the Guanzhong Army were basically integrated, while the Jingchu Army maintained a certain degree of independence and could have its own Jingchu Army Economic Strategy and Pacification Division, and the commander was appointed by the King of Xiangyang.

In addition, the Jingchu Army will also set up its own Jingchu Camp Field Division, which is responsible for managing the affairs of the military household grange in the Jingchu area.

However, Jing Chujun will not set up an independent military school, but will share a Huashan Lecture Hall with the Guanzhong Army and the Shaanxi Border Army - the Martial Arts Palace was renamed the Lecture Hall after moving into Guanzhong, and the school site was set up at the foot of Mount Hua, which was known as the "Huashan Lecture Hall" in history.

The children of the Guanzhong military households, the Shaanxi border military households and the Jingchu military households can all apply for the Huashan Lecture and Martial Arts Hall. After graduating, they will "work nearby", which means that they will start to become an officer from various systems. Step by step.

Officers from the Ministry of War, the Privy Council, and the Martial Arts Hall will be drawn from the three major systems in a certain proportion.

In addition, every national war must be fought by the armies of the three sides at the same time. But whoever is close to the battlefield will have the main force.

In principle, the Shaanxi Border Army (including the Shuofang Army) was responsible for the northern and western fronts. The Jing Chu army fought on the eastern and southern fronts. The Guanzhong Army was in charge of the Central Plains Battlefield.

This northward expansion is the first coordination of the three major systems.

In order to ensure the victory of the northward advance, the Privy Council and the War Department transferred a total of 7 divisions from the three major systems. Among them, Jing Chujun provided 1 division (division commander Yue Fei), Guanzhong Army provided 2 divisions (division commanders were Zhang Jun and Wang De), and Shaanxi Border Army provided 4 divisions (division commanders were Yao Pingzhong, Wang Yuan, Chong Yanchong, and Zhang Zhongfu).

In addition, Lingzhou Gao Yaokang and Xiliang Zhangli will also send troops to help in the battle, and the two sides will work together to provide a cavalry division.

In other words, the total number of troops used for the northward expedition this time was 8 divisions, or about 108,000 people. It was equipped with more than 120 artillery pieces and nearly 3,000 muskets!

What a powerful army!

However, since the location of the troops was in the Hetao grassland, it was necessary to mobilize a large number of people.

Fortunately, when the Jin State and the Obstructors invaded Shuofang Road, a large number of Shuofang people fled to Tongwan City.

And in Tongwan City, there are also many years of savings stored in Shuofang Road Tuntian, which is enough to support a northward advance operation.

After completing the organization, dispatch and intensive training of the troops. On the first day of April in the first year of Jingkang in the Western Song Dynasty, Qu Duan, who served as the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the envoy of Shuofang Road Jingluo, gathered all the generals in Yanzhou and swore to the Northern Expedition, putting on a posture of finalizing the Yin Mountain of Hetao in one fell swoop!

……

At the foot of Yin Mountain, Shunyi City.

Compared with the Western Song Dynasty's gathering of troops in Yanzhou at this time, the lively scene of people and horses shuttling back and forth. Sishidi, this northern city, is indescribably desolate and desolate.

In the face of the aggressive Western Song Dynasty, the Jin State at this time had lost the courage to resist, let alone the determination to fight against the water.

The reason why they were unwilling to fight and did not dare to fight, in addition to the strength of the Western Song Dynasty army, was because Wanyan Zongbi brought back good news from Tianjin.

The Great Zhou Republic will allow them to move west!

Does the westward move need the permission of the Great Zhou Republic?

Of course!

Because Xiao Sise, under the support of Wu Haogu, now he has set up the banner of the Northern Xi Kingdom in Kedun City.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Gan under her command, as well as Wu Yixin, who was sent to the grassland to help by the Great Zhou Republican Army, are not easy to deal with.

And the powerful Muguls and Tatars on the steppe were also submissive by Xiao Sese's various means - of course, another reason for their obedience was actually that a lot of thorns on the steppe were consumed.

The people on the grassland are not born to be fierce, they are nothing more than forced by the cruel living environment.

The cruelty of the living environment is sometimes related to the number of people carried in this environment.

Over the past decade or so, the steppe has experienced several large-scale conflicts. The Khitan fell, the Jurchens rose, and the big stone came and went west, pulling away hundreds of thousands of people! After that, it was the tug of war of Dajin Dongliao, the collapse of Dongliao, and the rise of Beixi...... It's really you singing and I'm on the stage!

After round of tossing, the population on the grassland naturally declined sharply. By the time Xiao Si Se established the royal court in Kedun City, I don't know if there were 700,000 people in the entire Mobei grassland?

There are no more people, and of course there are fewer bad people. Even if Xiao Sises is a woman, not many people go to fight with her.

In this case, Xiao Sese was actually unwilling to stop the Jurchens from moving west...... It doesn't matter where they go, as long as they don't crowd in Mobei.

Xi Ren let him go, and Jin Ren had no determination to fight again.

In the past few years, they have really been tossed and suffered. The young and middle-aged people in the clan are consumed a lot, and if they continue to fight hard, they will really only perish.

So by this time, the royal city of Shunyi had become a city that was about to be abandoned.

Most of the Jurchen nobles and craftsmen of various ethnic groups who originally lived in the city had already packed up their things and moved out of the city where they had lived for many years. Set up a tent in the wilderness outside the city!

The Jurchen hardcover guards also gathered around Shunyi City. There were twenty Meng'an in total, all of whom had changed from half-farming and half-pastoralism to nomadic people. Countless cattle, sheep and horses were driven over and filled the pastures around Shunyi Province.

The vanguard of the expedition had already set out and explored towards the western part of the desolate Mobei grassland.

It is impossible to travel 20,000 miles in one step, and you can only graze cattle while walking.

If it weren't for the integration of many Tatar tribes and divination divisions, the current Jurchens probably wouldn't have been long-distance nomads!

Even if there were some Tatars and diviners, the plan for the long journey had to be extremely cautious. The route should be planned in advance, and enough advance teams should be sent to find pastures and camps along the way - otherwise you won't know where to spend the next winter!

Wu Qimai was standing at the head of the majestic Shunyi City with Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xianye, looking at this huge fortress, with tears in their eyes.

The life of the Jurchens is miserable!

finally survived to rise, but met the take-off of the Han people!

And not only did the Great Zhou Kingdom take off, but even the Song Dynasty, which had always been quite cowardly, became fierce and warlike......

"Let's go!" Wu Qimai sighed, "Go to the West to find the future of our Jurchens!" ”

"Brother Wang......" "Xian also wanted to comfort his brother.

"Don't call Brother Wang......" Wu Qimai shook his head, "Since we want to migrate as nomads, then we are no longer a kingdom, but a khanate......

"Khanate?" Zong Bi frowned, "The Great Golden Khanate? ”

"Daikin?" Wu Qimai shook his head, raised his hand and pointed to a gold-topped tent in the distance, "There is no more gold, some are just a golden tent...... It was snatched from the Liao people, and it was the most glorious years of our Jurchens!

In this way, our country will be called the Golden Horde! ”

"The Golden Horde?" Slanted also nodded, "Okay, good name!" In the West, the prestige of the Golden Horde will definitely spread everywhere. ”

In the summer of the second year of Jingkang in the Western Song Dynasty, when the Western Song army of the Northern Expedition invaded the Hetao grassland, the Jingkang migration, which was called "Jingkang shame" by the later prime minister of the Golden Horde and the historian Wanyan Zongbi, also officially began.

In order to escape the terrible Song army, the Jurchens, numbering more than 600,000 (many other ethnic groups were also incorporated into the Jurchens, and many people who were not suitable for traveling far were excluded), embarked on a long journey. This walk is more than 25,000 miles and a full five years......

A few years later, a nomadic tribe calling themselves the Golden Horde, armed with terrible gunpowder weapons, suddenly appeared on the edge of the continent of Europa.

They will build a trembling empire in the vast steppes of Eastern Europe!
