Western Liao, Western Xia
Shi Miyuan has only been visiting the prime minister for more than a month, and something happened at home, and his mother died! As a rule, you must resign and keep filial piety, so that it will be cheaper to make money like ancestors, resulting in a situation of loneliness!
Reluctantly, but can't help it? So on the 22nd, Shi Miyuan resigned and went home to keep filial piety! But miraculously, 10 days later, on December 3, Prime Minister Qian Xiangzu was demoted. The right prime minister, Shi Miyuan, became a single minister, and he kept filial piety at home!
This trick has become too volatile, and many people can't figure out the situation! Why did Shi Miyuan defeat his political opponents before class? Speaking of which, it was really a complex set of combination punches, which was already a difficult move when Han Qi defeated Emperor Zhao!
Shi Quanchen first co-opted the Taiwanese officials, and after many years, he again impeached Qian Xiangzu for attacking Taoism under Han Quanchen, especially the arrest of the "Six Gentlemen of Qingyuan". The memory of Taoists is very sound, and whoever offends them will not forgive anyone! At the same time, in the depths of the palace, Empress Yang held a royal pen in her hand to distribute texts, and the crown prince also spoke for the teacher... With such strength, just to let go of a small amount of money Xiangzu, it is really overkill!
Shi Miyuan ascended to the top of the power of the Southern Song Dynasty and became the third of the four powerful ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty after Qin Hui and Han Yanxuan! The means used are quiet and peaceful, and there is no smoke at all. A little bloody, shady trick is useless. Very orthodox, cheered by many Taoists to ascend to the throne easily...
After doing this, he also strictly abided by the national system and went home to keep filial piety! He walked very resolutely, even if the emperor gave him a special mansion in the capital and asked him to keep filial piety on the spot, he couldn't keep him... How? Impeccable, right?
At this time, Shi Miyuan's true colors were slightly revealed, and the so-called "traitorous Ruozhong" is nothing more than that! Who can find fault with the slightest? How could he ever have the slightest blame-worthy flaw? makes people hate the root of their teeth, but they can't scold for a reason, forcing the enemy to have only one way to go - kill! If you can't destroy the image of this person, you can only destroy the body of this person!
On the 13th, Zeng Conglong was ordered to send an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin to pay tribute. On the 24th, Yuwen Shaopeng was ordered to send an envoy to the Jin State to congratulate King Wei Wanyan Yongji on his accession to the throne.
Year. Genghis Khan continued to pursue the Naiban prince Qu Qu Qu Lu. Under the guidance of Kuduhe, the leader of the Tsuyila tribe who had surrendered, he pursued westward as far as the Suerdishi River, and finally caught up with Qu Chulu and the detachment of the Mier beggars. In the fierce battle, Tokhtar was shot to death, and the remnants of the beggars were wiped out. Qu Julu continued to flee westward, targeting a large western power - Western Liao.
Kuduhe made great contributions to Genghis Khan and was ordered to rule the old land of the Bald Horse Department. Genghis Khan also married his own daughter and the daughter of his eldest son, Jochi, to the two sons of Kuduhe. Kuduhe's daughter, Hai Lost, married Genghis Khan's grandson Guiyou (the future Yuan Dingzong).
On January 12, 1209, the second year of Jiading, Lou Jian was appointed as the governor of the council, Zhang Liangneng was appointed as the secretary of the Privy Council, and Yuwen Shaojie was appointed as the member of the Privy Council.
On the 27th, King Wei Wanyan Yongji established Shan as the queen.
Pingzhang political servant Sanduan, Shangshu Zuo Chengsun Jikang was instructed by Yan Yongji to play: The due date of the first emperor's concubine Jia has passed three months. There was no sound, and it was found that it was a fraudulent pregnancy, and it was given to commit suicide. Fan's fetal gas is damaged, although after treatment, the fetal shape has been lost, and he is willing to cut his hair for a nun.
On February 6, Chengdu Lu Lizhouman, under the leadership of Chu Bu, invaded Liangxi Village and defeated the official army.
26th. Wanyan Yongji told the world that the first emperor had become extinct. Soon, he finished sealing Yan Congke and waiting for his six sons to be kings.
On March 11, Wanyan Yongji buried Jin Zhangzong in Daoling. The promotion of the servant is the right prime minister. After that, a large number of Yan Jing's cronies were demoted or executed, and the traces of Jin Zhangzong's dynasty were quickly erased... The Kingdom of Jin entered the period of King Wei.
At that time, the Western Liao, which was founded by Yelu Dashi, was in decline in the hands of his grandson Yelu Zhilugu. Khorezm, which turned out to be his own country, is growing stronger day by day. was worried that there was no way, but the prince of the barbarian bent out of the law and fell from the sky. Jeruzhilugu thought it was a blessing from heaven. At the critical moment, he gave him strong reinforcements, so he married his daughter to Qu Qu Lu and gave him the title of "Khan"...
In March, the vultures of Western Liao (i.e., the Uighurs of Gaochang. later Uyghur) betrayed the suzerain. The news of the surrender of Mongolia (Genghis Khan used the first Mongolian script in the Vultures) came, and the Western Liao ministers were helpless. At this time, the horse Qu Qu came out, "I still have many people, scattered all over the Mongolian steppe. Father, please allow me to summon them here. can become an elite soldier of his father" Yelu Zhilugu was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded a large amount of treasures, so that Qu Julu could go back to the east to recruit troops and buy horses... Not long after, Qu Zhulu really gathered a large group of people and returned to the capital of Western Liao. It's just that the late emperor of Western Liao would never have thought that his good son-in-law, who is full of sweet words and keeps talking, is a white-eyed wolf! Two and a half years later, it was this Qu Qu Law that finally announced the complete destruction of the Western Liao Empire...
On April 17, Wanyan Yongji issued an edict to count the crimes of Li Shi'er, the concubine of Jinzhangzong, and made her commit suicide. His brother and younger brother were exiled to distant places (Jia also committed suicide), and Wanyan Kuang, who had recently received the edict with Li Shi'er, was selfish and wanted to make a decision, so he and Wanyan Yongji, the king of Wei, framed and killed Li together. Immediately, Wanyan Kuang had to worship Shang Shuling and Feng Shen Wang. Wanyan Yongji also named his eldest son Wanyan Congke as the left prime minister, his cronies and servants as the right prime minister, and Sun Jikang as the political affairs of Pingzhang.
Shi Miyuan went home to keep filial piety for less than half a year, and on May 4, Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo sent someone to invite him to return to Lin'an to work. It's not that Zhao Kuo is cheap, and he can't live without the ministers, but Shi Miyuan is remote controlling the court situation in his hometown, and his power grows by one point every more day, and now almost the entire court is urging the emperor to let the prime minister and privy envoy come back to work... The emperor had no choice but to bow to the will of the people.
However: Shi Miyuan was ambushed on the way back to Beijing! Strictly speaking, an attempted ambush. It was Luo Riyuan, the commander of the Loyal Army, who did it. He is a member of the Northern Expedition, and he deeply hates Shi Miyuan's shameless begging and not hesitating to use the head of his country's chief dignitary to please the feud! But you can't take the normal road, so you have to choose assassination!
Luo Riyuan thought very well, he contacted some generals, soldiers, scholars, students, reformers, and internal servants, it can be said that in addition to the top high-ranking officials, all kinds of people are complete! The plan is to start on the way back to Lin'an when Shi Miyuan crosses the Qiantang River! After that, he took the opportunity to infiltrate the capital, kidnap Zhao Kuansheng, and appoint a new ruling team, thus changing the national policy!
Not counting whether it can be achieved or not, just the complex components in his team are enough to lead to failure! In fact, there was really a person named Jing Dechang who ran to inform, so Luo Riyuan was arrested!
Shi Miyuan returned to Beijing. On the 6th, Luo Riyuan was beheaded by Ling Chi. The Southern Song Dynasty officially entered the period of Shi Miyuan's dictatorship!
The Song people were once again intoxicated with singing and dancing. There is no war between the north and the south, the government is stable early, and money is always urgent and always abundant. This cycle will not be broken until shortly before the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty. As for the ministers, they have long been used to it, not to mention that Shi Quanchen is the gentlest and most elegant one...
Shi Quanchen quickly entered the role, and he was much smarter than the former Han Quanchen! Many people can't figure it out: how can a middle- and lower-level cadre who has not experienced any great changes and has not made a fortune with blood and tears reach the highest level of power and ministers all of a sudden?
Through guò Qin Hui, we know that the highest level of power is to silence the country. It seems to be calm and peaceful, but in fact it is a pool of stagnant water, and no different sound is made! As for how Shi Miyuan achieved it? It's different from Qin Xianggong. Qin Hui joined forces with the Jurchens to suppress the entire country of the Southern Song Dynasty. Even the emperor, he didn't dare to disobey! It's forced. Shi Miyuan is feminine and vicious, quiet, and when necessary, he still knows how to compromise... For example, under his promotion, the Southern Song Dynasty issued an order, and the "Notes on the Four Books" written by the hypocrites was once again used as a Taixue reader, and the selection of talents in the imperial examination in the future was based on this standard!
The physicists cheered: Shi Quanchen Shengming!
On August 4, An Bing was appointed ambassador for Sichuan, and the Xuanfu Department was abolished.
November 1. Zhang Lin and others, the commander of Chuzhou, were discovered to be plotting to cause chaos, removed from their names, and exiled to Guangnan for custody.
In February last year, under the influence of the rebellion of Koro Shichuan in Liuzhou Batu Cave, Quang Nam West Road, was recruited and surrendered, this month. Li Yuanli, a black wind in Chenzhou, Jinghu South Road, said that "those who are thieves will win the office, and those who go to the righteous will die, how can it be enough to convince people", so he gathered tens of thousands of people to rebel. Lian Pochen and Jizhu counties, Song Ningzong issued an edict: Divert the four armies of Jiangzhou on Jiangnan West Road, Chizhou on Jiangnan East Road, Ezhou on Jinghu North Road, and Jingzhou to work together to encircle and suppress.
December 2nd. An Bing ordered Dong Bing and Li Shi to lead 200 Flying Tiger troops to Yazhou to defend and quell the rebellion. He also ordered his son Gui Zhong to go to Lizhou to supervise the war. Gui Zhong sent Li Shi to Jingzhai to inspect the mountains and rivers. Li Shi reported: The nest of the divination is 20 miles away from the Dadu River, and our army has a big boat. There is no problem with going deeper. So Gui Zhong ordered Dong Zhi to lead the Flying Tiger Army and Li Shi to lead the forbidden army, and gathered more than 1,000 native soldiers from all villages along the river, and in the early morning of the 4th, crossed the Dadu River in three ways to pursue the barbarian army. The mountains were high and the forests were deep, and the roads were covered with snow, and the barbarian army took advantage of the weakness of the unfamiliar terrain of the officers and troops to defeat them with ambushes. The officers and soldiers fled into the valley in panic, and the barbarian army, led by hunting dogs, went deep into the mountains to slaughter the officers and soldiers. In the evening, Dong Zhi retreated into Jingjingzhai, Gui Zhong returned to Lizhou, and Li Shi escaped after being surrounded for several days...
This month, Jin Guoshang Shuling and Shen Wang Wan Yan Kuang died. Fu Sanduan was promoted to Zuo Prime Minister, Tong Ji Sizhong was the political affairs of Pingzhang, Zhang Xingjian was the crown prince Taibao, Wanyan Chenghui was the imperial history doctor, and Wanyan Chengyu was the imperial history Zhongcheng.
This year, Genghis Khan, after full preparation, led the Mongol army to attack Western Xia for the third time in March! Break through the territory of Western Xia from the Luozi Pass in the north of Heishui City. This was the old way of the last two invasions, and the Mongol army attacked from here, and the party members were already prepared. Xia Xiangzong Li An'an sent the crown prince Li Chengzhen as the chief commander and Gao Yi as the deputy commander to resist the enemy with 50,000 people!
Mongolia is emerging, and all its warriors combined, I am afraid that there are less than 50,000? It is a pity that the combat effectiveness of the Mongol army can never be compared with mere numbers! Before they appeared, no one would have imagined that with a base of 20,000 people, they would be able to sweep across the entire Eurasian continent!
The Western Xia army was almost completely wiped out! The crown prince's general, Li Chengzhen, disappeared and was lost by the Mongols. Gao Yi was captured and died unyieldingly. After this battle, the soldiers and horses on the right wing of the Western Xia Kingdom were almost lost, and the rest was only enough to hold a few passes leading to the capital...
Western Xia was the first country in the world to be at war with the Mongols. It's a person who tastes crabs and doesn't know what to look out for. Their tactics have not changed much since the founding of the country, that is, they rushed out of the pass and fought with the enemy in the field... This is exactly what the Mongols want! It was a little longer before the Mongols saw the power of artillery. Since then, the iron horses of the Mongols have been loaded with gunpowder wings and have truly turned into a nightmare for all peoples! And before that, such as at this time, the party should hide behind the city wall and defend it, this is the best way to deal with it! Theoretically speaking, party members should also have this ability. After all, they fought a hundred years of war with the Northern Song Dynasty, and more than sixty percent of them were fought between cities and fortresses...
It's a pity that these party heads are strict and rigid, and they don't know how to be flexible at all, and it's too late to know! At least not at the next big pass, Woola Kid City!
The city of Zara has fallen. In the street battle, Xibi, the Taifu of Western Xia, was captured. The time is May, and the Hexi Corridor is about to be penetrated! In front of Zhongxingfu, the capital of Western Xia, there is only one pass left: the Right Wing Army Headquarters located in Helan Mountain, Keyimen!
It's unimaginable! With the precipitous situation of Helan Mountain, the standing army reached more than 70,000, and at this time, Li An'an sent an additional 50,000 reinforcements from all directions, led by the "famous general" Wei Minglinggong, and rushed to help! With a fort built on the mountain and 120,000 heavy soldiers, this is a super town! As a result, the battle of Keyimun lasted for more than 2 months, and the Mongol army took turns attacking and attacking, but it was never able to cross the city wall by half a step! The war has sunk into a war of attrition! And when it comes to attrition, it can only be the Mongol army that collapses first!
Keyimen was backed by the capital of Western Xia, and in any case it was sufficient in terms of military supplies and grass. The Mongol army was fighting on the guest territory. Comparing the two, the disadvantages of the Mongol army are clear at a glance! The "famous general" Wei Mingling Gong only needs to let this situation continue, and even victory can be expected. It's a pity that the stiff brain of the party is short-circuited again, and he actually led a heavy army out of the city to fight the Mongols in the field...
A general who can't even thoroughly implement the strategic policy is actually called a "famous general"? And also took on the important task of guarding the country? This is the situation after nearly 200 years of operation in Western Xia! Wei Ming ordered the entire army of Gong to be destroyed, and he himself was captured by the Mongol army!
In July, the Keyi Gate fell! Zhongxingfu, the capital of Western Xia, was no longer blocked, and the hole was exposed in front of the Mongolian army!
Zhongxing Mansion, formerly Xingqing Mansion, was the capital of Western Xia in 189. It's also a famous city. It is rectangular, with a circumference of 18 miles, and the moat is nearly ten zhang wide, with two gates in the north and south, and one in the east and west... These figures mean nothing to the Mongol army! Is this just a circle of walls that are larger and less steep than the Keyimen fortress? All they have to do is climb up and destroy it, it's as simple as that! (To be continued......)
