Chapter 1037: Worship (2)

Zhenjin saw that the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty did not bring out the annoying shelf of the past, and his heart was also quite touched, and he couldn't guess if Cheng Yue had greeted him in advance, and said with a smile: "What the sage said is very true, the traitorous ministers of the Great Song Dynasty repeatedly betrayed the alliance against our Mongolia, causing the two countries to repeatedly start wars, the people were displaced, and the lives were miserable. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Now the Governor of Dadu is my Mongolian God-given horse, you are the head of all kings, words must be done, deeds must be fruitful, the covenant has been completed, the two countries can abide by the treaty, never contradict each other! ”

Xie Daoqing nodded, grateful to Zhenjin's words.

From the beginning, Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty agreed to destroy the Jin together, divide the territory equally, and become a brotherly state, and the Southern Song Dynasty paid tribute according to the treaty with the Jin. Ogedai did keep his promise, and after destroying the Jin state, he handed over the land that should have been allocated to the Southern Song Dynasty officials to the Southern Song officials, and withdrew his troops to prepare for the westward expedition. However, the Southern Song Dynasty did not take the covenant seriously, and the land was taken as such, but the tribute was not given a penny.

In the second year, Wokotai saw that the Southern Song Dynasty did not pay tribute according to the covenant, so he sent an envoy to ask, Li Zong's hands were spread, and the war was at the beginning of peace, where did he get the money? It's clear that you want to pay the bills. That's not all, the envoy was injured by the Southern Song Dynasty on the way back, and the officials didn't pay attention. Even so, Wokotai did not pursue it, thinking that the Southern Song Dynasty probably did have difficulties, and the envoy was not instigated by the imperial court, and only issued a reprimand. All of Wokotai's energy was focused on the western expedition, and he had no intention of attacking the Southern Song Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers were eager to recover all the old land, and they actually took the initiative to attack Mongolia. At that time, Ogedai was busy with the western expedition and had no time to take care of it, so he only ordered the garrisons in various places to defend it. The Southern Song Dynasty army then took the opportunity to run rampant and went directly to the Yellow River!

The people of the Central Plains of the former Jin State had been in war for a long time and finally managed to settle down, but the Southern Song Dynasty army went north to conquer in reverse. The problem is that the military discipline of the Southern Song army is worse than that of the Mongols, and the grain and grass in the rear are often not available, so the Han people in the hometown of the Northern Song Dynasty were repeatedly plundered by the Southern Song Dynasty army, which completely angered the Han people in the north. In addition, the reason why the Jin Kingdom perished was largely due to the conspiracy of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the people of the original Jin Kingdom were resentful of the Southern Song Dynasty. Under the entanglement of the two phases, the Han people in the north rose up to resist, killed the officials sent by the Southern Song Dynasty, and raised the banner of avenging Jin Aizong, demanding that Mongolia declare war on the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Mongol army was nothing more than stragglers, and there were very few real Mongol cavalry. However, the situation forced the Mongol army to start a war with the Southern Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the army of the Southern Song Dynasty was defeated by a small number of Mongol troops who were not even partial divisions, and they were crushed for thousands of miles, and finally even the territory allocated to the Southern Song Dynasty by Wokotai was lost!

In the new year, Wokotai sent an envoy to the Southern Song Dynasty again, condemning the Southern Song Dynasty for betraying the alliance and demanding that the Southern Song Dynasty honor the promised tribute, which was a good opportunity for the Southern Song Dynasty to break the war with Mongolia and regain the alliance. As a result, as soon as Nagong was mentioned, the Southern Song Dynasty actually beat up the Mongolian envoys, and then blasted them out, scolding the Mongols for being just barbarians, how could they let the dignified Song Dynasty call it a tribute?

The Mongolian mission was beaten to the ground, not to mention that they were chased and killed by good people in the Southern Song Dynasty along the way, and most of them failed to escape back to Mongolia alive. When Ögedei learned of the mission's tragic plight, he was furious and immediately called in his army. Wogetai ordered a great raid on the Song Dynasty for ten years to punish him, so the Mongol army broke through the border from everywhere, repeatedly invaded the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, and plundered everywhere for seven years, before he was seriously ill and all walks of life wanted to go back to fight for the Khan throne and withdrew one after another.

During this period, all parts of the Southern Song Dynasty were attacked by the Mongol army everywhere, except for a few cities that were not captured, the Mongol army was like no one. In order to avoid the attack on the city, officials in many places in the Southern Song Dynasty negotiated with the Mongolian army outside the city to pay tribute, promising that as long as the Mongolian army did not attack the city, they would definitely send some gold and silk in the future. The Mongol generals thought that the Southern Song Dynasty must have learned their lesson this time, so they accepted their contract. When the Mongol armies withdrew, they brought back several large boxes of such contracts.

During this seven-year-long raid, due to the main Mongol expedition to the west, there were not many troops at all, and there was no definite attack line, and Sichuan, Huguang, and Shaanxi fought indiscriminately, all in order to retaliate against the Southern Song Dynasty's broken promise.

After Ögedei became seriously ill, all the men and horses were busy fighting for the throne and were anxious to protect themselves, so they all retreated. All local officials were overjoyed, and the news of Lin'an Jiejie was frequent, and Mongolia's voluntary withdrawal was boasted by these people as a series of great victories.

During this period, the Southern Song Dynasty army in various places played all kinds of shameless tricks, when the Mongolian army plundered everywhere, they did not dare to fight, but negotiated with the tribute, signed the tribute contract, as soon as the Mongolian army left, they went to lie about the victory, asking the court to reward, and the courtiers were not willing to point it out clearly.

Ogedai died suddenly, and the Western Expedition was forced to be suspended, and the Mongol princes and generals who had gone on an expedition to Europe returned one after another to participate in the struggle for the Mongol Khanate.

When the Mongol khanate was repeatedly contested, no one in the Mongols wanted to pay attention to the Southern Song Dynasty anymore, but at that time, all the princes needed a lot of property or buy people's hearts or expand the army, so many people remembered a large number of contracts brought back from the Southern Song Dynasty, and expected that the Southern Song Dynasty would not dare to break the contract again this time, so they sent all parts of the Southern Song Dynasty to ask for the promised property that year. Unexpectedly, the envoys went batch after batch, but not only did they not get anything, but most of them were killed by the local Southern Song Dynasty officials, so as not to expose their tricks. After the princes learned about it, they gritted their teeth at the perfidy of the Southern Song Dynasty again, and hated the capriciousness of the Southern Song Dynasty even more, which was really shameless.

The battle for the Mongol Khan's throne finally divided the winner, Meng Ge seized the Khan throne in 1251, immediately began to retaliate against the Southern Song Dynasty, in 1253 sent troops to crusade against the Southern Song Dynasty, specifically attacking those cities that were not in debt, the result was no decent battle except for the Diaoyu Tai, the Southern Song Dynasty army ran to death, the main force of the Mongolian army led by Kublai Khan also invaded the Dali State through western Sichuan, in the Dali State, the Mongols were subjected to very fierce resistance.

Kublai Khan led his army to fight for seven years before conquering Dali, and then Kublai Khan returned to give orders to Meng Ge, and the Mongolian army in Yunnan, led by other generals, went north to attack southern Sichuan and Hunan all the way, trying to join forces with the Mongolian army in the north.

After Kublai Khan returned, he led another army to attack Hunan, and Meng Ge saw that Dali was destroyed and personally supervised the army in northern Sichuan, preparing to capture Diaoyu City, Chongqing, and Wanxian, and then go out of the Three Gorges, enter Hunan to join Kublai Khan, and then decide whether to go north or go east to sweep according to the situation.
