The military system of Western Xia was developed by absorbing the Song system on the basis of the tribal military system of the party. The Privy Council was the highest military authority in Western Xia, with various divisions under it. The army consisted of three parts: the Central Guard, the Capture Army, and the Local Army. The Central Guard included the "Proton Army", the Emperor's Guard, and the Jingshi Garrison. The "Proton Army" numbered about 5,000 people, and was a garrison force composed of those who were good at riding and archery among the children of the Hao family, responsible for protecting the emperor's safety. In addition, there are 3,000 guards of the emperor's cronies, which are composed of strong and brave men selected from various armies in the territory, all of them are heavy cavalry, divided into ten teams, each team of 300 people, and goes in and out with the emperor to fight. There is also a well-trained garrison stationed in the capital area, totaling 25,000 people, which is well-equipped and is the main force of the central guard. The captive army numbered about 100,000 and was the elite army of Western Xia. The main task is to undertake offensive and mobile operations. It was named because he captured the enemy alive as a slave in battle. The local army of Western Xia was under the jurisdiction of each supervising military department, with a total of 500,000 people, and the army was mainly cavalry and infantry. The military service system of the Western Xia was a military system for all the people, which did not detach themselves from production in peacetime and participated in battles in wartime. The smallest unit is "copying", each copy is composed of three people, one main force, one auxiliary person, and one person to bear the logistics.

The focus of Western Xia's military strength was set on a triangular line centered on Xingqing Mansion, with 70,000 people guarding the capital Xingqing, 50,000 guarding Xiping Mansion in the southeast, and 50,000 garrisoning Helan Mountain in the northwest. Troops were also deployed on the left and right compartments and on the four lines of north and south of the river. Among them, 50,000 people on Youzhou Road in the left compartment and 50,000 people on Yanzhou Road in Henan Province were protected against the Song Dynasty, 70,000 people on Anbei Road in Hebei Province were protected against Liao, and 30,000 people on Ganzhou Road in the right carriage were protected against Tubo and Uighurs. Whenever they wanted to use troops to the west, they would gather from the east point to the west, and if they wanted to go east, they would gather from the west point to the east, and in the middle of the road, they would gather from the east to the west.

It seems that this advanced mobilization system can save the country huge military expenditures and at the same time lose a strong national defense force. But there is no eternally perfect system in this world, and even the perfect system needs people to implement it. Without military spending, there is no loyalty, and naturally there is no combat effectiveness. The army directly under the central government, which claims to be elite, will be repeatedly in arrears of military salaries, not to mention local military divisions and mobilized soldiers.

The decline in military spending has naturally led to instability in the morale of the armed forces and a decline in combat effectiveness. The central government's control over the local government is declining. The local Han landlords and party members and aristocrats were almost all rented out their rights and assets in the same way as the first time, and they were as bankrupt as the central finance. At the beginning, they rented fields and pastures for a long time at a high price, and they thought that the subordinates who came forward to rent through the subordinates were fools with their brains sandwiched between the door panels, and after three or four years, they regretted hitting the wall, shouting that they were brain-dead (the buzzwords spread by the people are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people). Not everyone can encounter a price revolution. If you want to break the contract, you have to consider the force of Song's opponents and the consequences of breaking the contract. In the midst of indecision, 10 years passed.

The economic war, which lasted for nearly a decade, brought the finances of the entire Western Xia to the brink of collapse. The perennial deficit made the monarchs and ministers of the Xia Kingdom look for a way to make a fortune almost every day. The people, the party members, the nobles, and the Han anniversaries who had reaped the benefits of the Song State in the war were all bankrupt. Emperor Yanjing of the Xia State asked for a downgrade in his own treatment, and called Song a minister, asking for more coins to tide over the difficulties.

Historically, the number of Western Xia offenses far exceeded that of the Khitan Liao State. Moreover, the losses caused to the northwest region are far greater than the losses caused by the Liao State to the north of China. It stands to reason that drought or other disasters in the north have caused a reduction in agricultural and pastoral production and caused an existential crisis, and the severity should be about the same. However, the Liao State in the east had a relatively humid and mild climate, and the agricultural irrigation of Nanjing Province was developed, so there was basically no need to plunder the Song State. And Western Xia may be more miserable, and if there is a slight disaster, they will have to fight grass valleys to survive the famine.

Every year, the financially embarrassed Western Xia had to meet the needs of the party members with the action of fighting the grass valley, and the party members who adhered to the tradition also actively supported the emperor's actions, but it was a pity that the northwest army, which had been prepared for a long time, strictly guarded it. In the 8th, 10th, and 12th years of the Xia Dynasty, the border operations of the Yuan You, which were planned by the people in the inner line of Western Xia, all failed, and the heavy losses of the military horses and horses did not get the harvest of the grain, but in the last operation, they obtained a large number of copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty accumulated in the treasury of the abandoned villages and towns.

The Western Xia army, which had been bleeding from various military forts and border cities, happily returned and immediately prepared to consume, but as a result, the commercial shops in various parts of the Xia Kingdom announced a 20% price increase, and refused to accept Song money, only Chenji money. As a result, the distributed loot Song Qian was exploited layer by layer, and finally entered Chenji Bank, and was exchanged for Chenji money according to the harsh exchange price. The three offenses received a total of 8 million yuan, which is equivalent to decades of annual gifts. The elated Xia monarchs and ministers finally settled the accounts, and lost 20,000 central guards, 70,000 elite captive troops, and 200,000 miscellaneous soldiers. The grain, grass and arms expenses spent on the three invasions of the Song Dynasty were all raised through the channels of the Guanzhong, and the last bit of savings from the auction of the tax right was 2 million yuan. The huge deficits and losses almost wiped out the last bit of prestige and prestige of the Li royal family. The entire court hall was almost a mess.

Every day, deserted ministers leave the capital, Xingqing, to return to their hometowns to escape the political earthquake and the impending purge. In order to consolidate the royal power, the 16-year-old young emperor Li Qianshun, who was eager to find a lifeline to avoid the destruction of the royal family, listened to the slander of the secret son who had crossed the public arrangement, and began to raise the butcher's knife to stabilize the political situation, and exiled the pro-Song ministers and clans (few of whom were not virtuous in the party) who opposed the expedition to the desert area near Gaochang in the northwest. The clan relatives who tried to challenge their status were all executed, and if the generals who led the troops did not write the documents of allegiance and surrender the military power to enter the Privy Council for retirement, Li Qianshun, who was not at ease, could only let them die from the poisoned wine or white silk that gave them death.

Under various measures, although the imperial court was temporarily stabilized, it lost the support of the people even more. Empress Dowager Liang, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, was basically unable to come forward. Because the brothers and nephews of the family died in the war, the Liang family's voice in the army declined rapidly, and the behavior of the emperor in the past had already made her unable to protect herself and live in fear. The newly married queen Yelu Nanxian is just a clan daughter of Yelu Yanxi who married the Xia lord, she is neither a princess, nor is she from the real power clan of the Liao State, and she has no influence in the territory of the Liao State, let alone the prestige in the Western Xia. The emperor was an only child and had no brothers to help. Li Qianshun's influence in the court disappeared almost overnight with the annihilation of the central guards. In the case of heavy losses to the elites such as the Central Guard Army and the Iron Harrier of the Capture Army, the emperor fell into a situation where no one could trust and no one could use it, even if he got rid of the autocratic situation of the Empress Dowager Liang, so the emperor who lost his prestige and military power gradually became the commander of the light pole.

The lower-class party nobles quickly took up their positions under the banner of the pro-Song faction nobleman Ye Li, who had preserved his strength. Ye Li was the original queen of the main palace of the founding emperor Li Yuanhao, although he lost power for decades, but he was still a big family among many large tribes of the party. Since fifty years ago, the crown prince Ning Lingge, who was born to the abolition queen Ye Li, killed his father Li Yuanhao at the instigation of Wuzang Pang; Wuzang Pang then killed the prince Ning Lingge and his mother Ye Li together for the crime of rebellion, and Li Liangzuo, the son of his sister Wu Zang Queen, who was only 1 year old, ascended the throne, Ye Li left the center and hid among the people. Li Qianshun, as Li Liangzuo's direct grandson, asked for help from his sworn enemy back then, and I have to say that the bad taste of traversing the crowd is very boring.

The Ye Li clan received a hint from the crossing crowd in advance, and retained his strength and did not go out to participate in the plundering operation of the grass valley, but only dispatched thirty percent of the tribal private army, and secretly annihilated and played tricks in the war, and hid behind and did not charge into battle. Although he did not receive the spoils of war, he preserved his strength. In the changes of ethnic forces in many countries after the war, it became a force that accounted for almost 3% of the military strength of Western Xia and could influence the situation.

Trapped internally and externally, Li Qianshun had to turn to the sworn enemy of his grandmother's family, Ye Lishi.

With the support of the Crossing Public, the Wild Fortune has long accumulated a lot of wealth and arms, and this time he has re-entered the central government to grasp power, so it is natural that he will not give up military power and control of the imperial court again in a foolish manner. The head of the family, Yoshiei Nori, directly used the financial bankruptcy to reduce a large number of troops that were not related to him. Placed cronies in the garrisons and key departments of many cities. The exclusion of the original political enemies and the clans of the Korean officials who had been bullying the Nori clan had reached an astonishing degree. With the help of the power in the army, he cracked down on dissidents, bought people's hearts, formed a party for personal gain, had no one in his eyes, acted perversely, and did all the evil deeds of rebellious ministers such as the empty emperor.

Norishi let out a sigh of relief and completed the deployment of the traversal.

The party nobles had almost lost confidence in the Li clan's acquiescence to the Yeli clan's perverse behavior, and most of the nobles could only survive in the fiefdom, licking their wounds, waiting for a comeback. It's a pity that the traversal didn't give them a chance. It is a Chinese tradition to chase after victory, and it will never learn the habits of the grassland——— and go home after a vote.

Half a year after the defeat and the changing situation of the dynasty, in the case of the Western Xia's unsuccessful peace with the Song Dynasty, the smuggling group security mercenaries and the Northwest Army of the Great Song Dynasty invaded the territory of the Western Xia after the declaration of war, captured all the important places of the four major military divisions on the border of the Xia Kingdom, and surrounded Xingqing on three sides within one day after the Western Xia court received the war letter of the Song Dynasty. The royal family of the Xia Kingdom fled north in a hurry.

In the ensuing pursuit and annihilation battle, the Northwest Army captured all the target figures, including all the royal family members and the ministers of Zaifu, and the Xia Kingdom was destroyed in the counterattack blitzkrieg, which lasted only 33 days. The Yeli clan made great contributions, and almost all of the party leaders and party internal annihilators directly opened the city gates and organized the people to welcome the Song army into the city.

Yeli Yoshiei, who stayed behind in Xingqing to supervise the country, watched the captured Li Qianshun pass under the city gate with a disgraced face, and the hatred in his heart finally dissipated.

From this day on, Yoshiei Nori was the envoy of the Xiazhou Festival of the Great Song Dynasty, and all the captives were escorted to Tokyo to be reformed and to participate in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony. Although the Yeli clan is no longer the prime minister and ruler of the Xia Kingdom, he easily obtained a hereditary Marquis of Pingxi of the Great Song Dynasty by virtue of his great contribution to the country.

When Li Qianshun was captured, Yelu Yanxi, the lord of Liao, had just received a report of the Song army's attack on Western Xia. The territory of the Liao State, which was too busy to take care of itself, was full of smoke, how could it have the energy and time to help the Western Xia, a nominally subject country but repeatedly violate the border, to restore the country? Even the rebellion of Jin and Nanjing Dao could not be settled, so he could only acquiesce to Song Guo's actions. The anxious Ah Guo simply had to learn from the later King of Kang, Zhao Gou, to seek peace with Song Chengchen.
