Mongolian steppe
Although Wu Ting fought a big battle with the Jin army in Watingzhai in Weizhou, he relied on the heroism of Wang Hong and others to defeat the Jin army. But at this time, the Song army was afraid of the enemy's strength and did not dare to advance. As a last resort, Wu Lan personally went into battle and came to the Deshun military city in early March.
On the 9th, because of the Shaanxi battlefield, Wu Lan and Wang Yan were extremely good, and they each recovered a large amount of lost territory, so they were rewarded.
On the 11th, Hong Mai and Zhang Lian returned with the northern envoys. And Jin made Gao Zhongjian and others enter the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty. In the face of the two major demands of the Jin envoy to ask the Southern Song Dynasty to continue to carry out the courtiers and return the Zhuzhou counties newly recovered by the Southern Song Dynasty due to the failure of Yan Liang's southern invasion, the Southern Song Dynasty court discussed a lot. Hong Mai said, "The territory is profitable, and it cannot be compared." Etiquette is a false name, and it is not a pity that "Huang Zhong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, immediately objected" The name is real, it is not easy for a hundred years, and it cannot be described as false. The gains and losses of the territory, one and the other, can not be said to be true" and some people think" that the land is real. Monarch and minister, name also. It is my benefit to be real first and then famous," said Chen Junqing, the acting squire of the military department, "Today's strength cannot be defended, although it is Henan, it is inevitable that it will be a false name." It is better to correct the name first. If the name is correct, the national prestige and the year coin can also be damaged"
On the 12th, Wu Lan personally supervised the battle and recovered the Deshun army. After that, Wu Lan sent Yan Zhong to recover Huanzhou.
On the 13th, Wang Pu and Wang Qian were appointed as the chief and deputy messengers of the country to send Dajin Bao to the throne.
On the 16th, Song Gaozong received the golden envoy Gao Zhongjian and the deputy envoy Zhang Jingren in the Zichen Palace. Story: The Northern Embassy was introduced 3 days later, but at this time, because the ceremony was not decided, it was delayed until today. On the same day, the golden envoy dismounted outside the next door, and the three sections of people dismounted under the imperial city, so that the deputy was located in the south of the jiedu, and there was no mattress. The funeral system of the first emperor Song Qinzong has not ended, and there is no war, and the second swallow hangs the arch hall, and there is no need to be happy.
The gift of receiving the credentials is no longer presented by the emperor and the prime minister. Before that, the Song court had ordered the embassy to accompany the envoy Xu? informed the other party of this decision. However, Gao Zhongjian was stubborn and had no choice but to allow him to enter the palace. After entering the palace, Gao Zhongjian also emphasized the old rites. Chen Kangbo, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, folded it with righteousness. Gao Zhongjian said that he asked the prime minister to accept the book. After being rejected again by Chen Kangbo, Gao Zhongjian played a scoundrel. Holding the national letter in his hand, he refused to get up on his knees. The courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty looked at each other in amazement. Chen Kangbo was furious, "Put Xu? Call me! Ask him how he became a companion? What is being discussed in the museum?" Gao Zhongjian was frustrated.
On the 17th, the Jin army besieged the city of Chenzhou in Huaining Prefecture. Chen Hengzu, a warlord of the Southern Song Dynasty, ascended the city to supervise the battle and was shot to death by a stray arrow.
Wu Lan returned to the Hechi base camp from the front line of the Deshun army. The Jin army sent troops from Destruction and went north through Kaiyuan Fort to attack the Zhenrong army. Yao Zhong originally sent Wang Zhong to lead more than 1,000 Song soldiers to defend the Zhenrong army, and now he sent Du Jilian to lead 500 troops to destroy the sand and defend its periphery. Qin Bi, who was appointed by Wu Lan as the Zhijun of Zhenrong and the former Zhizhou of Weizhou of the Jin State, also led the army to help.

On the same day, the Jin army broke through Huaining Mansion in Chenzhou. Dai Gui led his troops to fight in the streets, grabbed the door and went out, but after all, he was victimized by the enemy. More than 50 members of Chen Hengzu's entire family were killed by the Jin army.
Wanyan Liang's southern invasion failed, and the Song army counterattacked on all fronts! In addition to Wu Lan and Wang Yan, they regained huge lost territory in Shaanxi. The Huaixiang armies regained a total of 10 prefectures in the Central Plains: Hai, Si, Tang, Deng, Chen, Cai, Ru, Xu, Shou, and Bo, and now 6 prefectures have been reoccupied by the Jin army, and the Southern Song Dynasty has only recovered 4 prefectures of Hai, Si, Tang, and Deng in the Central Plains.
On the 23rd, the Jin army took the Jingyuan tribe Fanguan Xingguo, who was well aware of the stakes and dangers, as his general. Siege of Wonju.

Qin Bi still sent Zhao Quan, Xun Jun and other reinforcements when he was also besieged and had no troops to send.
The Sichuan-Shaanxi proclamation sent Yu Yunwen to meet with Wang Zhiwang, the general of Sichuan Caifu, who had traveled north from Lizhou, the capital of the Caosi capital of Lizhou Road, in the west county of Xingyuan Mansion on the east road of Lizhou. This time, Yu Yunwen's envoy had already met with Wu Gong, the envoy of Jingxi, and Li Dao, the commander of Jingnan, in Xiangyang. Later, he met with Sichuan Xuanfu envoy Wu Lan in Hechi to discuss with everyone the strategy of the Central Plains. Ordered Dong Zhen to guard Huaidong, Guo Zhen to guard Huaixi, Zhao Puci Xinyang, Li Daojin Xinye, Wu Gong and Wang Yan to join forces in Shangzhou, and Wu Lan and Yao Zhong's army to go out of the customs to assist. Because of the grain of Chang'an to take Henan, because of the grain of Henan, the army will take Kaifeng. Then the troops are all and the pay is convenient. The land of the two rivers can be passed on...

On the 30th, because Qin Bi kept asking for reinforcements, Wu Ling ordered Lu Shimin to put all the troops and horses of the loyal army and the four generals of the Zhenrong Army outside the Qinfeng Road and the mountain under Qin Bi's command.
This month, Han Zhongtong, the warlord of Myeongju, played the imperial court: Xu Derong, the head of the Goryeo State Program, came to Myeongju and said that the king of Goryeo wanted to make friends with the Southern Song Dynasty and wanted to send a congratulatory envoy. Originally, Song Gaozong had issued an edict to Han Zhongtong to invite him, but Wu Fu, the palace attendant, played "Goryeo borders Jin and serves it." In the 16th year of Shaoxing, the king of Goryeo sent an envoy Kim Ji-gyu to pay tribute, and he had arrived in Mingzhou. At that time, the imperial court was afraid of it and urgently sent it back. Fang, Jin, Song and Jin fought each other, and the feelings of Goryeo were really suspicious, and there was a risk of accidents. If it doesn't come, it will make fun of foreign countries."
In April, he moved to attack Taizhou Buke and turned to Jeju on the Shangjing Road, and the first step was to rob the grain and grass of the Jin army. At that time, the 13,000-strong army of Wanyan Mouyan and Wanyan Fushou, with Tushan Zhining as the left wing and Sushi Lie Zhining as the right wing, had already reached Muhu Cliff. At this time, someone from the rebel army came to surrender to the Jin army, and came up with a good idea: "This place is 80 miles away from the rebel army." If we chase it, it will be the rebel army waiting for work. Now we can sneak up on the opponent's baggage and wait for the opponent to come back to the rescue. That is, we will wait for the work with ease" After finishing the face and seeking great joy, he immediately ordered to concentrate on light horses, throw away the baggage, and set off overnight. After chasing for about 30 miles, he robbed the rebels' baggage near Changluo. The Shifter, who was attacking Jeju, had no choice but to return to the army to save him.
On the 2nd, Changluo, Wanyan Mouyan defeated the ambush soldiers and moved to the nest. After more than ten miles of pursuit, he captured a lot of people.
On the 5th, Wan Yan Bao deprived Wan Yan Liang of his emperor title and demoted him to the king of Hailing County.
On the 8th, Wu Ling ordered Yao Zhong to lead Lu Shimin, Yao Zhi and other troops to quickly go to the rescue of the Deshun army, and recover Jing, Wei and other prefectures. Yao Zhong was worried about the lack of troops and asked for the transfer of troops from Xingyuan Mansion and Yangzhou. Wu Lan agreed. In the end, Yao Zhong led a total of 9,000 troops from Hechi and Qinzhou to the Deshun army. The remaining soldiers stayed in Tungangu, destroyed the sand, and Zhenrong Army.
At that time, Yuanzhou was besieged for a long time, and the Jin soldiers attacked the city with 14 cannons, goose carts, and caves. It's going to be overwhelmed. The guards Duan Yan and Gong Quan asked Qin Bi, the commander of Zhenrong, for help, "Yuanzhou and Zhenrong are dependent on each other. Yuanzhou is lost, and Zhenrong will be lonely" After Wu Lan got the report, he ordered Qin Bi to lead the four generals to the rescue. But Duan Yan came again to report that the enemy army had increased to 70,000. Faced with this situation, Lu Shimin felt that Jing, Wei and other prefectures were still far away from Deshun and Zhenrong, and Yuanzhou was in a hurry, so he asked Yao Zhong to help Yuanzhou. So Yao Zhong ordered Li Zai to lead 500 soldiers from Pingzhai to Yuanzhou to rescue. Lu Shimin camped in Yulinbao, the three-way intersection of Dongshan and Weichuan Road, 50 miles away from Yuanzhou, and was ready to help.
Now let's jump out of the complicated relations between many countries in the past few years, and look down under the sky of big history, as latecomers, we can be sure of one thing: the biggest thing that happened in the past few years is not last year's Khitan uprising, Wanyan Bao's self-establishment as emperor, and Wanyanliang's killing on the front line; It was not Zhao Gou Chan who was crowned Emperor Taishang more than a month later; Nor did it happen that Yelu Yilie of the Western Liao Renzong died a year later, and his sister Yelu Pu was quickly imprisoned; It was not that Ren Dejing divided the country in Western Xia eight years later. The biggest events had nothing to do with the Song, Liao, Jin, and Xia countries. Rather, it happened in the distant Mongolian steppes ...
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the Mongolian steppe has been a nightmare for the Han people in the Central Plains. It was so far away that only the toughest generals, the most elite soldiers, would dare to dream of attacking. It was bitterly cold, and legend has it that only the most stoic wolves and the most ferocious people survived. Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, no matter how the Central Plains Dynasty evolved, there were corresponding strong races. Such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Rouran, Turkic, Uighur, and Mongol.
According to the current dominant opinion in academic circles, the earliest Mongols originated from Donghu and migrated to the east of the Wangjian River (present-day Erguna River) during the Tang Dynasty, forming the Murwei Mengwu. Mongolia is the Chinese transliteration of Mongolian.
During the turn of the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, there was chaos on this grassland. It is a vast area south of Lake Baikal, north of the Great Wall, east of the Altai Mountains, and west of the Khingan Mountains. No race can unify the north and south of the desert. It doesn't matter if he speaks Mongolian or Turkic, whether he's nomadic hunter or hunter-gatherer...
The Mongols are just one of them, and they have lived a difficult life for a long time. This is not only due to the harsh environment, but also due to the long-standing hatred!
One of the longest-standing dead enemies is the Tatars! The Tatars were fierce enemies of the Mongols in every way. Live not far away, not close. Both of these races live next to a river, the Mongols in the Uran River and the Tatars in the Krulun River. Both rivers originate in the foothills of Kent: the Cunning River to the north and the Krulun River to the south, flowing almost parallel to the east. It's just that after getting out of the mountains, the two rivers are very different. The river has always maintained its characteristics as a mountain river. Its left bank has always been a taiga forest. The Krulun River, on the contrary, turns into a steppe river that flows slowly across an endless flat steppe. When it was emptied into Kuolian Lake (now Hulun Lake), the river was only 20-40 meters wide, and its deepest depth was only 2 meters. The Tatars lived at the mouth of the Kolian Lake and further east to this vast area of the Khing'an Mountains, echoing the Mongols in the valley of the Troubled River. When the two are close, they are bound to swallow each other and succeed. It's far away, and it can't intersect, so naturally there are no grievances that can't be discussed...
With regard to geography, one last point to emphasize is that the Tatars are close to the Jin country, and the Mongols are far from the Jin country. This created two diametrically opposed destinies of the race...
The Tatars are very clever and have always been very careful to curry favor with the Jin country, and they have been very attentive for a long time, and they have received many benefits in return. The Mongolians are very straightforward and stubborn, and after finding that there is a shortage of food and money in the yurt, they will only ride a horse and raise a knife to rob, and the robbery object only looks at whether there is money, and never looks at how many people and knives and guns the other party has... So is there anything more ideal than the Golden Country?
As a result, the law of historical reincarnation appeared: people in the south were always robbed by the north, and this north was relative, and it could be said that there was no northernmost but more northern. Compared to the Jin Kingdom, Mongolia is the north of the north!
Mongolian horses come and go like the wind, and they run away after grabbing, and the Jurchens really can't take them, even if His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince of Jin Wushu, whose heart is higher than the sky, personally takes 80,000 elite soldiers to crusade, and the final result is only to negotiate peace with the Mongolian tribes, and cut the land under the jurisdiction of the 27 regimental fortresses north of the Xiping River to Mongolia, and every year to send gifts such as cattle, sheep, rice, beans, and cotton silk to Mongolia...
The combat power of the Mongols can be seen, and at that time Mongolia was still in a state of scattered sand, but the Jin Kingdom had reached its peak!
In the long run, the Jin State hated the Mongols to the bone, and the Tatars were very clever enough to take advantage of the very rare kindness of the Mongol chieftain once, both to avenge themselves and to make their master Jin Guo hate!
Here we must first talk about the grievances between Tatar and Mongolia. According to available historical records. The two tribes were initially friendly, so good that the Tatars were able to visit the Mongol tribes. At that time, the head of the Mongol tribe was Hebul Khan, the patient was his brother-in-law, and the doctor he hired was a sorcerer of the Tatar tribe. It was clear that this was a high-end visit, and if successful, it would be very helpful to enhance the diplomacy and friendship between the two tribes... But the problem is that Hebul Khan's brother-in-law is dead!
It is common sense that there are no absolutes for doctors, but the anger of the family members of the patient is also consistent throughout the ages. The Mongol tribes were so disillusioned with this sorcerer that they collectively believed that the sorcerer had failed to do his job and intended to kill the sick...
Hebul Khan's men caught up. Kill the Tatar wizard on the way! The two tribes became enemies because of this, and once the hatred was born, it would snowball bigger and bigger, until it caused a large avalanche that destroyed it, and this process generally took several generations of efforts in the Central Plains, but in the Mobei grassland, the encounter of two generations was enough...
After the death of Hebul Khan, he was succeeded by his cousin Baba Khan. This Mongolian had a kind heart, and he knew that the Tatars were the victims before, so he thought of making amends.
He betrothed his daughter to a nobleman from the Tatar tribe. When he got married, he personally sent his relatives, accompanied by the eldest son of Hebul Khan, how sincere is this, especially with the eldest son of Hebul Khan. This is a very obvious apology. But in the eyes of the clever Tatar, it all changed its taste...
The Mongols themselves sent to the door! The clever Tatars wanted to take advantage of the wishful thinking of the Mongols this time. Was it just that he killed the eldest son of Baba Khan and Hebul Khan? That's too simple, why not give it to the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom? I believe that it will be the dream gift of the gold owner!
That's it. The Mongol leader Baba Khan was escorted into the capital of the Jin State, and the emperor of the Jin State at that time had always been a puppet, and was successively subject to the power of the ministers and the concubines. After a lifetime of resentment and resentment, Jin Xizong, who finally succeeded in having a mental illness, is not difficult to imagine how this person will be brutal and vicious to deal with the enemy sent to the door. He nailed the eldest son of Baba Khan and Habul Khan to the wooden donkey, and caused them to die a terrible death!
Before his death, he managed to send someone to tell his sons and the most powerful son of Hebul Khan, Khutu to assassinate Khan: "I, the supreme leader of the Mongols, have sent my daughter to the Tatar tribe and have been captured by the Tatars. Thou shalt take me as a warning. At this time, even if you bend your bow and bend the nails of your five fingers and polish the ten fingers of your hands, you should also swear to avenge this revenge" Before breathing, I Ba Ba Khan said to Jin Xizong, "I have many sons and nephews, and there will be terrible revenge"
This warning did not cause much turmoil at the time, and the Jin magnates who watched the execution only laughed it off, and even applauded, using the resentment of the chief of this barbarian ethnic group in the bitter cold region of the north as a synergistic agent for the pleasure of the execution... What could make the perpetrator happier than the screams and curses of the enemy?
But the Mongols in the northern desert heard it! From then on, each of them kept in mind that the Tatars were not trustworthy and the Jin people were mortal enemies, and fought against these two races countless times in the years that followed!
After the Khan was tortured and killed by the Jin state, Khuthu Thorn Khan succeeded him as the leader of the Mongol tribes. After his death, his nephew should soon succeed him as the head of the Mongol tribe...
The time has finally arrived on April 16, 1162! This year is very important to both Song and Jin, Wan Yanliang has just been defeated and died, and Zhao Gou also gave up the throne to his adopted son to become the emperor... But that wasn't the most important thing in the world at that time!
On April 16, 1162, in the remote and bitter cold Mobei steppe, the leader of the Mongolian Qiyan tribe should soon have his eldest son ("Yuan History" and "Mongolian Yuanliu" recorded in 1162; The History of the New Yuan Dynasty and the Records of the Mughal Dynasty were recorded in 1155. This book is recorded from the "History of the Yuan") The boy's right hand was clenched when he was born, and when it was opened, people found that there was a handful of red blood inside, and the historical records recorded that its color was like a liver, and its strength was like a stone, and it looked very much like the Ming emblem on the top of the Mongolian battle flag...
It was time to go out to fight that day and return with a big victory. As a man, with the victory of foreign wars and the birth of his eldest son, what kind of happiness does he need? In his excitement, in commemorative, he named his eldest son after the enemy leader he captured this time. Temujin! Temujin, which means "change of iron" in Mongolian
At this time, no one will know what this baby born with a blood clot will bring to China and even to the whole world... He is the future generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan!
On the 30th, Yao Zhong ordered Yao Zhi and Li Zaitang to recruit the Deshun army, and he led his elite troops to Yuanzhou to rescue.
This month, Yilawo led the crowd to the west, and Wanyan Mouyan led the army to chase to the Wusong River. He had ordered someone to destroy the ferry, and Su Shi Lie Zhining ordered the sergeant Shuliu to fill the harbor before he barely crossed. (To be continued......)
