The wind and rain are coming

Temujin had far fewer soldiers than Sun Khan's, so he decided to bluff. Every night when the Mongol army stayed in the palace, each soldier had to light five fires. In this way, from a distance, the beacon fire is almost everywhere, which is more shocking than the stars in the sky... Sun Khan was shocked, and although he could still fight, his morale was low. How's this trick? Friends who are familiar with Chinese history can easily find the same traces in the achievements of Sun Bin, Zhuge Liang and others, but it is the wisdom generated after the collection of more than 1,000 years of war history and civilization.

The decisive battle site was in Hangai Mountain, which was very famous in the Han Dynasty, and its name was Yanran Mountain at that time! The northwest-southeast Hangai Mountain is about 700 kilometers long, with an average altitude of about 3,000 meters, and the main peak, Otgang Tengger Peak, is 4,031 meters above sea level. Mongolia's main river, the Selenga River, originates here and flows north into Lake Baikal... Hangai Mountain is very cold, and north of this mountain, the ancient Chinese regarded it as the "Far North" wilderness.

It's finally time for a decisive battle. Zamuhe escaped again, but this time he couldn't. He was tied up by his own men and sacrificed to Temujin.

Between the brothers, the winner is finally decided! Temujin killed the rebellious subordinates for Zamuhe, and the two of us were reunited, and we are still brothers! Zamuhe said calmly, "You let me die without blood!" Bury me under the slopes of the hill where we were married, and I will be happy and happy, and I will bless your children and grandchildren."

So Zamuhe was put into a large leather bag, and the horses trampled over it. The climax of the first act of the Mongol tradition of fratricidal cannibalism has finally come to an end! And Zamuhe's death became the Golden Family's original method of punishing the guilty in the future...

On the day of the decisive battle, Sun Khan watched the battle from the top of Hangai Mountain, and Temujin commanded at the bottom of the mountain. From beginning to end, the Mongols did not give the Naiban people any chance, they took a thousand troops as a unit from morning to night, constantly attacking the entire army of Naiman, and eating away at the opponent's strength little by little!

Wait until the barbarians wake up and want to charge the group. Morale and strength are far apart. The dignified No. 1 strong clan in Mobei is actually equivalent to euthanasia in the decisive battle! Sun Khan was shot dead during his escape, and his back was not only visible to the enemy, but also filled with arrows... The son of Sun Khan, Qu Zhulu, fled to the northern barbarian tribe, clinging to his uncle Buyilu Black Khan...

The most powerful enemy has fallen, and Temujin has finally ruled the Mongolian steppes!

On February 15, the first year of Kaixi (1205), the State Department was instructed to formulate the "Law on the Assessment of Financial Endowments".

On March 24, a Song Dynasty spy was captured in Tangzhou, Nanjing Road, Jin State, and according to his confession: Han Yanzhou stationed heavy troops between Ezhou and Yuezhou on Jinghu North Road to prepare for the Northern Expedition.

On the 26th, Governor Fei Shiyin was dismissed for refusing to serve as the pacification envoy of Lizhou East Road.

April 16th. Li Yi, deputy governor of Jiangling, was appointed as the governor of Zhenjiang, and Huangfu Bin was appointed as the deputy governor of Jiangling and the prefect of Xiangyang.

On the 27th, the martial arts student Hua Yue wrote a letter to the imperial court not to take the Northern Expedition lightly, and beheaded Han Yanzhou, Su Shidan, and Zhou Yun to thank the world. Han Yanxuan was furious and ordered the Jianning Mansion on Fujian Road in Huayue to be put under management.

Dajin Shaanxi Border Report: Song soldiers invaded Fengxiang Road, Qinzhou, Lintao Road, and Gongzhou Laiyuan Town. So this month, Jin Zhangzong ordered the Privy Council to send a diplomatic document to the Southern Song Dynasty, demanding that the Southern Song Dynasty withdraw its troops in accordance with the Longxing Peace Conference of that year and not enter the country.

On May 13, a total of 433 people below Mao Zizhi were admitted to the imperial examination this year. Mao Zizhi said that the Northern Expedition would be restored when he tried countermeasures in the palace, which made Han Yanxuan very happy. Therefore, it has to be the champion.

On the 19th, Song Ningzong officially gave his adopted son Zhao Yan the title of prince and crowned him king.

On the 28th, Zhu Yu, a loyal general of the Zhenjiang Metropolitan Qi Gong faction, united with the archer Li Quan. Crossing the Huai River, Lianshui County in Haizhou, East Road, Jinguo, was burned. Li Quan, a native of Weizhou, Shandong East Road, nicknamed "Li Tiegun", is a man of the year in this turbulent era! He is sharp-headed, changeable, good at controlling subordinates, quick with bows and horses, and good at using iron spears.

This month, more and more intelligence about the upcoming Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty was addressed. Jin Zhangzong summoned the ministers and asked. Wanyan Chenghui, Meng Zhu, Zhao Zhijie and others all believed that the Southern Song Dynasty would not dare to defeat the alliance. Only Wan Yan Kuang said, "The Southern Song Dynasty built a new Zhongyi and Baojie army, and this year changed to the Yuan Kaixi, which is obviously based on the Kaibao of their Taizu and the Tianxi year of Zhenzong." This shows that they never forget their homeland, "Tongji Sizhong also thought that the Southern Song Dynasty had the intention of defeating the alliance, so Jin Zhangzong appointed Pingzhang's political servant Sanyu as the Henan Xuanfu envoy, and gathered soldiers and horses from all roads to guard against the Southern Song Dynasty.

On June 5, Song Ningzong issued an edict: ordered the internal and external armies to prepare for a secret march for the Northern Expedition. On the 12th, another edict was issued: ordering the Zhulu Pacification Division to review the forbidden troops of all directions.

On the 14th, Cheng Song was appointed as a scholar of the Senior Administration Hall and an envoy of the Sichuan system.

On July 5th, by the right prime minister Chen Ziqiang and the imperial servant Shi Deng Youlong, Han Yanxuan was given a very special authority that no one dared to hold for a long time before: Pingzhang Military and State Affairs!

There is the Song Dynasty, which is the highest position of power higher than the prime minister, the privy envoy, and the commander-in-chief of the country's military and political affairs! It broke the distribution of the ruling power of the Zhongshu Province in the Eastern Mansion and the ruling army of the Privy Council in the Western Province, and the monarchy of the Song Dynasty was unable to achieve dictatorship in many cases. One can imagine: what a special, even deformed, existence it is!

Prior to this, only four people had won this honor: Wang Dan of the Zhenzong Dynasty, Lü Yijian of the Renzong Dynasty, and two important ministers of the Yuan Dynasty, Wen Yanbo and Lü Gongshu.

Among them, only one generation of famous ministers, Wang Dan, was expected to return, but he took the initiative to resign after less than half a year of taking office. Wang Dan was cautious and did not dare to use his power in the slightest. Duke Lu died less than a year after receiving this title, and he did not use any of his power. Wang Dan and Lu Gongshu were the undisputed leaders of the courtiers at that time, and Pingzhang had full power for military and state affairs. Among the other two, Lu Yijian is the lowest, and he is the same as the military state. Wen Yanbo was also restricted, and he received the important affairs of the military state in Pingzhang. But what is heavy and what is light? What rights does Wen Yanbo want to use? To be interpreted by the concept...

Han Yanxuan is different from the four of them! grabbed it before the Northern Expedition, and it was clear that it was going to be used in a big way! And his Pingzhang military and state affairs are even more worthy of the name, all beards and tails! Liban is above the prime minister, and once a day, he goes to the capital to govern affairs. The great seals of the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia and Shangshu were all sent into the Han Mansion! Han Yanxuan bought his own speed room, and even pretended to be a royal pen to depose the general, and no one dared to speak...

At this point, Han Quanchen was crowned king, and the army had been established, and under the aura of Pingzhang's military and state affairs, he really stood at the top of the power of the Southern Song Dynasty!

In the first half of the year, the Xingyuan Metropolitan Department of Lizhou East Road was ordered to recruit troops.

11th. Su Shidan, an important member of the Han Party, was appointed as the envoy and leader of the Anyuan Army.

On the 28th, Han Yanxuan concurrently served as the national envoy and personally checked the logistics of the Northern Expedition! Many loyal people quickly resonated with Han Yanxuan at this time! Xin Qiji, Lu You and other well-known people walked with him, and even Ye Shi, a famous Taoist figure who was inseparable from Han Yanxuan in the 'pseudo-study party ban', re-emerged from the mountain to plan for the Northern Expedition...

With high momentum, the Kaixi Northern Expedition has entered the stage of substantive preparation! Han Yanxuan was based in the south of the Yangtze River, looking around, carefully deploying himself, and also paying attention to the Jin country in the north of the Yangtze River.

The Jin State under the rule of Emperor Wan Yanjing of the Jin State was diametrically opposed to the Southern Song Dynasty: the Southern Song Dynasty ministers covered the sky with one hand. The imperial power of the Jin Kingdom has been consolidated unprecedentedly! Wan Yan Jing is full of words in the north, and he follows the law, and no one dares to discount it. This point has not been reached by almost all Han emperors throughout the ages! With the power of Emperor Qin, he had to burn books and pit Confucianism before he could Weijia Hainai. Although Li Shimin is strong, there are always people who are constantly crooked like Wei Zheng. Not to mention Zhao Kuangyin, who was boycotted by various people in various ways... The Han people can boast that this is a good story. If you compare them, you will know that only by becoming a dictator in the true sense of the word can the government run smoothly and at your fingertips. At least in feudal times.

During the reign of Jin Zhangzong. The economy of the Jin Kingdom reached its highest level in history, and the population also reached an all-time high: 7684438 households, 45816079 households (the number of 1207 years after the end of the Kaixi Northern Expedition) and tax revenues were also the highest in the history of Jin. History says that "Zhang Zong reigned for 20 years, inherited the rule of the Emperor for a long time, and was well-off in the United States." It is a ritual music, a revision of the criminal law, a system of officials, and the rules and cultural relics have become a generation of rules and regulations" seems to be very remarkable?

The more prosperous Jiangbei is, the more people say irresponsible about Han Quanchen's Kaixi Northern Expedition! It is believed that in terms of macro comparison, the Southern Song Dynasty in the same period was far worse than the Jin Kingdom. Defeat the strong with the weak, and take the initiative to find a pump!

This is a major evidence of Han Quanchen's crime! It's a pity that none of these people have been able to see the changes in Jiangbei! First of all, Jin Guo has more people and more money. But so what? Will it be more than the Northern Song Dynasty? The Jurchens, the main body of the country, have departed from the original track and are ashamed of the foundation of their own nation! They are keen on dancing and writing, and regard the highest honor of being admitted to the Jinshi and wearing a long robe to establish the court, and the hereditary martial arts official positions such as Meng'an Mouke are a great shame. The iron-blooded spirit of the past is completely gone...

Strictly speaking, these are the stupid behaviors of those in power who do not know what the core of their own nation is, abandon their roots, and throw watermelons and sesame seeds. It's strict, but it's not fatal. Because even if the Jurchens are sinicized, they are not as heavy as the original taste, fermentation and rot here in the Southern Song Dynasty!

But it's hard to say about natural disasters, right? Around this time, floods and droughts in the Central Plains were frequent, and the Yellow River also joined in the fun, and Yan Jing was in a hurry after the big diversion!

Gotta cure the water, right? Disaster relief, right? No taxes, right? Dead, right? Broken Fortune, right? These have made the strength of the Jin Kingdom plummet! And Wan Yan Jing himself is still a enjoyer, just saying that he redecorated his palace and wanted to add some knitwear or something, the scale is big! He used 1,200 embroiderers every day, and it took two years to finish the curtains, bedding, cushions and other lace...

Isn't it appropriate for Han Quanchen to choose to give him something to make matters worse at this time?

On August 2, the pacification envoy of Jinghu North Road was ordered to recruit more Shenjin Army.

After the servant arrived in Kaifeng, he sent an official letter to the Southern Song Dynasty, accusing the other party of defeating the alliance. The Southern Song Dynasty replied, "This is not the intention of the imperial court, it is the border generals who have made their own opinions, and now they have all been demoted, and the recruited soldiers have also been disbanded" At the same time, the former deputy commander of the palace, Guo Ni, and Tian Junmai, the defender of Haozhou, lured Su Gui, the people of Hongxian County, and others to come and surrender fraudulently, "We increased our troops to prevent bandits." As soon as you asked, we were so scared that we didn't even dare to guard against the border. And we are all militiamen, there is no food supply, and most of us have starved to death" The servant believed it to be true, and reported these words to Jin Zhangzong. Some of the ministers persuaded Yan Jing to strike first, but Yan Jing did not agree that "the north and the south have been reconciled for more than 40 years, and the people are tired of war, so they can't" Henan unified army envoy Su Shilie Ziren returned from the Southern Song Dynasty, and also said that the other party had no intention of the Northern Expedition. Even Wan Yan Kuang overturned the previous proposal. Finally, after receiving a report from Fu Sanhua on the military situation in the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Zhangzong officially issued an edict on the 6th: abolish the Henan Xuanfu Division; The newly recruited archers in Lintaofu, Deshun, Qinzhou, and Gongzhou on the border of Shaanxi were also disbanded.

More than two months ago, Zhu Yu attacked the Lianshui army, which angered the Jurchens, who captured Zhu Yu and wanted to behead him on the border between Song and Jin. It was at this time that He Jin's birthday sent Li Bi as an envoy, and after some verbal and sword-talking, he finally saved Zhu Yu's life.

On the 20th, Guo Ni was appointed as the governor of Zhenjiang and the governor of Yangzhou.

On September 5th, in the capital of Jin, there was a fiery red light between the black clouds in the northwest, followed by a fiery red light in the southwest, due south, and southeast, and white gas penetrated it. Until night, the whole city was shrouded in fiery red light, and it was not until the fourth watch that it was extinguished.

On the 15th, the temple village in Biyang County, Tangzhou, Nanjing Road, Jinguo was attacked by the Song army, and the deputy inspector Alientenjanu was killed. On the 21st, Huang Jian was attacked and set on fire by the Song army, and Gao Hao was captured for inspection.

On the 24th, Chen Jingjun was ordered by Han Yanxuan to send an envoy to Jin Guo to congratulate Zhengdan. Its real purpose is to listen to the reality of the other party.

This month, Qiu Wei was appointed as the Jianghuai Propaganda Envoy, but Qiu Wei resolutely refused. He said to Han Yanxuan, "The Central Plains has fallen for a hundred years, and I can't forget it for a day." However, if the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, if they take the first extraordinary move, once the soldiers are exchanged, the victory or defeat is unknown. Then who will let the first disaster happen? There must be people who are boastful and greedy, and if they are lucky, they will encourage you to go on a northern expedition. You must not be impulsive, and reject it. Otherwise, it will be mistaken for the country" "The Jin people may not intend to defeat the alliance, China should show the general situation, and it is advisable to set an example for the army, so that I will always have a winning momentum, if I provoke myself, I have the words"

On October 24, the Song army attacked Biyang County again, and the military judge of the Jin State, Sa Du, was killed.

On November 3, the former division of the palace ordered a new 5,000 Shenwu army to be stationed in Yangzhou.

On the same day, the Southern Song army invaded Neixiang County in Dengzhou, Nanjing Road, Jin State, and attacked Luonan County in Shangzhou, Jingzhaofu Road, westward, and was finally defeated by the Jin army at the Dan River.

On the 15th, Jin Zhangzong issued an edict: The generals of Shandong and Shaanxi need to strictly train their soldiers to prepare for the emergency. The imperial court gave 150,000 taels of silver to the border generals, and you can use this money to recruit people to scout the military situation of the Southern Song Dynasty for you. Then he sent Yan Taiping and Fucha Ali to lead the army to the Song-Jin border to strengthen the defense.

This month, Xin Qiji was appointed as the pacification envoy of the two Zhejiang provinces and the prefect of Shaoxing.

On December 18, he ordered the Ma Military Division to recruit additional crossbowmen. (To be continued......)
