The Great Khan of the Mongols
The three passes are the gateway to Shu, and the five states are the Ping Domain of Shu, and Zheng Cheng gave up lightly without engaging the battle, making the Mongolian army commander drive straight in!
Fortunately, the five states are easy to obtain, the three passes are difficult to break, and the complex and steep landform of Shuchuan is a new battlefield that the Mongolian army has never encountered! In many places, war horses can't gallop, and these factors add up to make Shuchuan temporarily safe...
The Jin army abandoned Hebei and Shandong this month to defend Henan and Tongguan with all its might! From Sanmen, Henan Prefecture, and Mengjin in Shaanzhou on Nanjing Road to Que Town in Pizhou on Shanxi Road, four provinces were set up on a front stretching for more than 2,000 miles on the south bank of the Yellow River, and a total of 200,000 elite troops were deployed to defend the Yellow River defense line.
And Shi Tianze, who was in Zhending Mansion on Hebei West Road, broke through Gaogong and Baoqi Zhuzhai this month, and drove Wuxian all the way south to Ji County on the north bank of the Yellow River and Weizhou. Shi Tianze took the opportunity to recover Xiang, Wei and other states.
On January 5, the first year of Shaoding (1228), Wanyan Shouxu sent Wanyan Mangyisu and Yang Juren, the prefect of Kaifeng, to Mongolia to comfort Genghis Khan.
In July, Li Quan recruited troops, built warships, trained sailors in Haizhou on the East Shandong Road, and inspected the warships in the ocean with Yang Miaozhen, looking like a princely style. Then Li Quan led his army north, wanting to recapture Qingzhou Yidu Mansion, the capital of Shandong East Road, but was defeated by Yan Shi and Shi Xiaoge. So after seizing the old nest of Yanshi, Qingyagu, Li Quan returned to Haizhou, stepped up shipbuilding training, and prepared to attack the Song Dynasty.
On August 24, Jin Aizong summoned Yan Baisa back to the court, and Ren Shangshu was the right man. On the eve of the death of the country, it was promoted to a peaceful political affairs. Bai Sa has lived in Shaanxi for decades, although he has made a lot of military exploits, but to be honest: these military exploits are all due to the strength of generals. And Besa himself was cowardly, incompetent, and extremely greedy. Now worship the prime minister, and the obsession is even worse. He often thinks that the working meals prepared by the imperial court are not to his taste, and he often brings his own cooks into the palace to cook for himself. With such a monarch and minister, can Jin Guoyan still have the reason to be immortal?
This month, Jin Aizong decided to build the city of Guide on Nanjing Road. The Privy Council came up with a plan and said it would take millions. Wanyan Shouxu sent Bai Hua to tell Li Xin, the specific person in charge of the Privy Council, about the people's hardships. The great truth of the imperial court's love and support, and finally decided to reduce the work by one-third... But this also requires millions of labor, right? After I finished talking about Yan Shouxu, what are you thinking? Are you thinking that if Kaifeng can't hold it, you can escape here?
In November, Li Quan came to Chuzhou again. On the grounds of lack of grain, sending sea ships to invade Pingjiang Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion, which were important towns on the Liangzhejiang West Road in the Southern Song Dynasty, was actually a temptation to attack the Southern Song Dynasty by sea. But at the same time, Li Quan pretended to be obedient to the Southern Song Dynasty court, but in fact he was blackmailing Shi Miyuan for money and grain. On the one hand, raising troops, on the other hand, it can also solve the Mongol tribute. And Shi Miyuan only wants Li Quanneng to be stable, and his requirements are to meet them as much as possible. In addition, Li Quan agreed with Jin Guo: to hand over the Xuyi army to Jin Guo. to avoid fighting with the Southern Song Dynasty. Kim will stab him in the back.
In December, Wanyan Mang Yisu and Yang Juren were convicted of sending envoys to Mongolia, insulting the king's life, losing his courtiers' festival, and being disrespectful, and were sentenced to avoid death and removed from office. On the 13th, Wanyan Nashen was appointed as a courier of the Mongolian state.
This year, the Mongolian prison state Tuo Lei heard that there were thieves in Yanjing to kill and plunder, so he sent Yelu Chucai to govern his party. 16 people were punished, and the group of thieves came to this screen.
In January of the 2nd year of Shaoding (1229), in the face of Li Quan's reversal, Shi Miyuan still pinned his hopes on Li Quan's ability to 'change the evil and return to the right' because Shi Quanchen covered the sky with one hand. No one dared to speak. Even a few people like Li Zongmian, the acting squire of the military department, and others are constantly sparse, and they are all ignored...
And Wanyan Shouxu summoned Fucha Dingzhu, Wang Zhongze, Diao Bi, and Bai Hua, "Now that the Mongolian affairs have eased, we should take this opportunity to exterminate Li Quan." Ding Zhu led a thousand loyal and filial piety troops, and sent 10,000 soldiers to the Du Wei Division. Bi and Zhong Ze are staff officers. Go to Yizhou and Haizhou on Shandong East Road, and recruit Li Quan first. But if he does not surrender, he will send troops to destroy him. How to "Bai Hua's opposition" Li Quan took advantage of the Mongolian situation and the Song Dynasty's grain salary, which was so rampant. But he is just a bandit after all, so why bother! My great enemy is still Mongolia. Now it is only because of the death of Genghis Khan that their new Great Khan has not yet been elected. Once elected, it will come again. Today's plan, of course, is to guard against Mongolia. And once we can defeat the Mongols and the north is decided, then Li Quan will definitely be in a hurry to surrender. Where do you dare to think about anything wrong," Jin Aizong was silent for a long time. The next day, Fucha Dingzhu was still sent back to Kaifeng Prefecture to garrison Weishi County.
In mid-February, the Mongol army attacked Jingzhou on the original road of Jin Guoqing and cut off the grain route of Qingyang Province, the capital of Qingyuan Road. "The state set up two provinces in Shaanxi more than a year ago to defend Henan. But now in the face of the Mongol army, there are two or three hundred thousand military horses in the province, but there is no war, so what else do you need in the province" On the 17th, Wanyan Shouxu appointed Shiftabha as the deputy envoy of the privy council. Garrisoned Pizhou on Qingyuan Road, and allocated thousands of loyal and filial piety troops of Wanyan Chen monk to him. Soon, he summoned Pingzhang to return to the dynasty after completing the political affairs of Yan Heda, and ordered the prime minister to finish Yan Sai and save trouble in Guanzhong.
In July, Jin Aizong ordered Yan Zhongde to be the prefect of Gongchang and the commander-in-chief, and dismissed the various military floating expenses in Shaanxi Province. Wanyan Zhongde worked hard in the ruined counties of Shaanxi, recruited and scattered, won tens of thousands of troops, took the mountains as the fence, ordered strictly, and accumulated valleys in Tuntian, and many people returned to it, and one party was only well-off...
On August 24, more than two years after Genghis Khan's death, all the top officials of the Mongol Empire, including the sons of Jochi and Chagatai in Central Asia, rushed from all directions to Genghis Khan's Great Ear (King's Tent) in the vicinity of the Martyr River and the Tilulian River, where they were to hold the most sacred gathering of the Great Khan in Mongolian customs, the Kuritai Assembly! This Kuritai conference is of no significant significance in the history of Mongolia! Because it laid the true foundation of an empire - the system!
During Genghis Khan's lifetime, he was the unquestioned only leader. But that was due to his own high authority and personal charisma. To put it bluntly: he did god-like deeds, and the people gave him god-like treatment... But what about his successors? How to ensure that the Mongol Khans succeeded to his power? Do you want to PK Genghis Khan's spirit in the sky? Obviously unrealistic!
Fortunately, the Mongols have Yelu Chucai! The Kuritai assembly was held under the auspices of the top brass of the Golden Family, while Yelu Chucai stood in a relatively low-key position reminding them what to do... During the meeting, they repeatedly read out the edict of Genghis Khan, and repeatedly repeated the oath made by Jochi, Chagatai and Tulei in front of Genghis Khan and all the Mongolian nobles to support Ogedai as the Great Khan...
After many times, everyone was guaranteed to hear it, and Ogedai always pushed back. He had to be humble, so almost all the strength of the Mongol army was in the hands of his fourth brother, Tuo Lei...
But there are layers of shackles in the heart of the tow mine! He is the perfect Mongolian man, with all the virtues in one. Of course, I will not destroy the Mongolian traditions and the last words of my father... He didn't use anyone to hint at it, and took the initiative to support his third brother Wo Kotai!
Ögedei finally became the second Great Khan of Mongolia! On that day, all the members of the Mongolian Golden Family took off their hats and threw their belts behind their shoulders, Chagatai led the right hand of Ogedei and the left hand of Wo Chi Jin, symbolizing all the clansmen of the Golden Family, and embraced Wo Kotai to the supreme throne! Tuo Lei raised his glass and declared his loyalty. The General Assembly honored Ögedei as "Hehan", which means Great Khan. The full name of the history book is "Wokotai Hehan"
After that, the most important scene! Led by Yelu Chucaiti, headed by Chagatai, he led the royal family and his ministers. Bow down to Wokotai Hehan "The Emperor has a salute from now on" The internal problem was finally solved, and the Mongols once again pointed their swords and guns at the outside world and began a crazy expansion...
In August, Kim will move to Rabuha to recover Ze and Lu Prefectures on the South Road of the River.
In September, the Jin envoy Agudai came to congratulate Ögedei on his succession to the throne and presented Genghis Khan with a funeral ceremony for his death. Wokotai summoned the Jin envoy "Your lord did not return for a long time, so that the first emperor was tired of using troops, and finally died." You and I will not coexist! I am about to send troops to ask for the guilt, and I will pay tribute. What is it?" and sent back the envoys. And the final showdown between Mongjin has finally begun!
This month, Guo Binjin, Marshal of Lintao Road of the Jin Kingdom, presented two horses. Jin Aizong issued an edict: "Qing's martial arts are superb, and this horse can be used for war." How can I do what I can? Once entered, it can only be a stable thing. Now I will give these two horses to Qingqing. Be considerate of me."
In early October, the Mongol soldiers entered the territory of Qingyang Province, the capital of the original road of Jin Guoqing. The Shaanxi Province of Jin sent an envoy to send sheep wine coins and silks to sue for peace, but was rejected by Mongolia.
9th. Chen Xun played: "Now the Great Song Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles. The enemies include Jin Guo, Li Quan, and the group of thieves who jumped off the beam in Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, etc.
On November 5, Zhao Lifu, the prefect of Lin'an, played. Please combine the trough and the lower sand into one village, and each village has more than 120 people. Song Lizong asked, "The people of the capital should be caress and make them always in the spring breeze and in the air, and they should not sigh." Recently, how is the civil lawsuit in the capital, "Zhao Lifu said to the people" Song Lizong asked again, "how is the prison", and said "the prison is always empty", the emperor is very pleased, "the people's lives are closed, and they cannot be drowned"
On December 21, due to the construction of Yelu Chucai, Ogedai ordered the establishment of warehouses, post houses and other facilities in the Mongol Empire, and the implementation of the household registration and tax system in the Han land. Hebei Hanmin takes the household as the unit and pays the assignment, and Yelu Chucai is responsible for it. The people of the Western Regions are based on the number of people, and the payment is due, and Mahamos Guradir is in charge. And sealed Shi Tianze, Liu Wei, and Shi Mo Zara as ten thousand households, and guarded the Central Plains.
In the second half of the year, the Mongol soldiers surrounded Qingyang Mansion, the capital of Qingyuan Road, and Jin Aizong hurriedly moved to the rescue of Rabuha. He found Bai Hua and asked, "I want you to go to Pizhou to see the decree of Yirabuha, can you go back and forth within six days?" Bai Hua replied, "The minister galloped three hundred miles a day, and he will definitely be able to return as scheduled" Wanyan Shouxu was overjoyed, "Why are you so brave today" Bai Hua replied: "In the past, the army was used, and the imperial court was constrained by the southern expedition and Li Quan's affairs, and could not concentrate on the north, so it was difficult. Now the Mongolian soldiers have entered the border for more than 300 miles, if the order of Qinchuan is ordered, the country will be in danger! And His Majesty has also been bent on the north affairs, just to be able to destroy it in a war! Instead of fighting in Pingchuan in Henan, it is better to fight in the key pass of Shaanxi"
This year, Jin Aizong issued an edict: return the 100-mile hunting land around Kaifeng to the people, and listen to the people to cultivate...
In January of the 3rd year of Shaoding (1230), the Jurchens finally broke out when they were about to die! A super fierce general has emerged! At the same time, it also confirmed that Jin Aizong Wanyan Shouxu's pardon that year, "Brother Ru died, and I lost a general." Now for your brother's death, I will pardon you! There will be a discerner in the world. I only hope that he will work hard to make a name for himself, and the country will gain your strength, and he will not be forgiven."
The 8,000 Mongol army, under the leadership of Chi Lao Wen, moved towards the Dachangyuan of Jin Guoqing Yuan Road Ningzhou and approached Qingyang Mansion! Judging from the strength and armament of troops, this war is not a top-level war to destroy the Jin State. But the first to lead the army is Chi Lao Wen, who is as famous as Mu Huali, Borshu, and Borhu, one of the "Four Heroes" of Mongolia, with the hereditary title of "Answering Assassin Han", and enjoys the privilege of impunity for nine crimes. Who would dare to underestimate such a person leading the army? Second, Mongolia had just destroyed Western Xia, and the pattern of East Asia had changed. Such a demon army that destroys the country at every turn makes people desperate to the point of illusion, as if as long as more than 100 Mongolian soldiers are gathered together, they can destroy a qiqi at will, and this time it is close to 10,000!
Taken together, the Jurchens paid unprecedented attention to being invaded this time! Move to Buha to rush to the rescue, the pioneer is the monk Wanyan Chen!
The confrontation between the two armies and the outbreak of the battle, Chi Lao Wen was speechless in the face of the Jin army troops who rushed over to engage in the battle! I am a famous Mongolian general, how could I encounter this kind of garbage?
There are all kinds of people rushing over from the opposite side, if you keep the original race costumes, I believe it will be very bright and dazzling, just like a fashion exhibition... There were a total of 400 people, and they were actually Han Chinese captured by Hui, Naiman, Qiang, Hun and the Central Plains. No matter how you look at such a miscellaneous unit, the name is "Loyal and Filial Piety Army", and the official Jinguo is reminding these soldiers and ruffians: You must be loyal, filial, and obedient... Looking at the team leader again, I believe that Chi Lao Wen will be even more disdainful, and his noble battlefield identity is not worth it!
The leader of the army was none other than the monk Wanyan Chen, who had been captured by the Mongol army!
A proud person cannot be provoked, much less insulted! Monk Wanyan Chen's anger towards the Mongols is absolutely irrepressible! Even if the Jin State assigned him a miscellaneous army, he was still trained by him into an iron army that was unimaginably hard! At this time, he led the 400 loyal and filial troops to rush to Chilaowen's 8,000 Mongol army!
Chi Lao Wen on the opposite side definitely couldn't imagine what kind of belief Monk Wanyan Chen held in this battle! Monk Wanyan Chen bathed and changed his clothes before the war, treating this war like a religious ceremony!
Nothing is impossible in this world! The status of Chilao Wen is so high that there is no altitude index, and the Mongolian army, which is so famous that it is at the top of human history, have all fallen at the feet of this ragtag army led by former prisoners of war and full of desire for revenge! (To be continued......)
