Due to the swarming of thieves in Chen, Bo and other states on Nanjing Road, on the 22nd, Jin Xuanzong ordered the Privy Council to quickly send troops to recruit.

When the battle report of Yulong Jiechi came, Genghis Khan was furious and sent someone to give an order: Listen to Wokotai every qiē! Those who do not follow will be killed!

The fate of Jade Dragon Jiechi is decided! The Mongol army stormed the city almost on the same day, and the subsequent battles were fought in every street and alley in the city of Yulongjie, and even women and children fought bravely! The people of Khorezm finally proved their courage in the Battle of Yulong Jiechi, so that future generations of people who read history can face up to this once extremely powerful Central Asian power!

It's glory! It's just a terrible price! The destruction of Jade Dragon Jiechi is more complete than that of Samalhan! The population disappeared, and all but a few children, girls, and craftsmen were killed! The city was flooded by the river and disappeared into a vast ocean... Jade Dragon Jiechi has been removed from the history books since then!

The post-war Mongol army was also divided here! The chilling discrimination made Genghis Khan's eldest son, Jochi, completely desperate! Does it make sense to stay in the Mongol army and declare one's loyalty? He is the eldest son, but he will not be able to get the friendship of his brothers, and he will never be able to get his father's approval! Look at the order from my father: The commander of the whole army is the third brother Wo Kotai, this is his status!

Jochi took all the wealth of the city and led his army and horses to the north of the Syr Darya! He went all the way to the west, to the north, to the distant and unknowable land! He's going to build his own country! Even if he is still a Mongol in name, in substance, he must be free and respected!

History bears witness: he did it all!

Jochi traveled far away, Chagatai and Ogedai did not stop him, and even sat back and watched his brother take away all the belongings of Yulong Jiechi. They are not narrow-minded! Not only Wokotai, but even Chagatai, which is known for its brutality and ferocity, also has his strict side! He was the most prestigious arbiter in the Mongol army, and whenever there was a dispute, he was always just...

It's a pity: the problem of Jochi has nothing to do with justice! Bloodline is always the most basic and powerful aspect of human beings! Who made that happen? For many years, the three brothers Chagatai, Ogedei, and Tuolei hugged their eldest brother on the one hand. Feel the warmth of a fellow mother, but on the other side, you will definitely curse fiercely in your heart: This damn beggar!

But I don't know if any of them thought that their grandmother, the Lady of the Virgin in the hearts of all the Mongols, was also a beggar... That is to say: even if it had not been for the robbery that had happened to their mother, even if there had been no Jochi, their bodies, the great Genghis Khan, would have the blood of the beggars in them!

Jochi went away, Chagatai and Ogedei returned to Genghis Khan, and they joined forces and marched along the Amu Darya River to Khorasan and Gojining. It was the last land of Khorezm! But at the same time, Genghis Khan is waiting for a very important person!

Genghis Khan had already left Mongolia at this time, and his vision was broad. He knew that there are people in the world who are beyond life and death! Such people are repeated among the various ethnic groups. With his current position, he should and must be contacted! If you can live forever, you can truly stand on top of the world!

So far, the land that the Mongols have experienced is Mongolia proper, the northern part of the Central Plains, and Khorezm, each with its own merits. But when it comes to civilization, there is no doubt that the Han nation is second to none! Immortality and religion are one of civilizations!

When Genghis Khan thought of this question, the only person who could answer it was from the Central Plains! When it comes to one person, there is of course only one best choice: Quanzhen Sect and Qiu Chuji!

The Quanzhen Sect was founded in 1159 by Wang Hao, a real person in Chongyang, in Zhongnan Mountain, Shaanxi. Its name "Quanzhen" means that it is not yet a talisman, and it is not a yellow and white art. That is, do not draw talismans to exorcise ghosts, do not alchemy and seek immortality. This is one of the main reasons for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty - believing in Taoist priests and pretending to be gods and ghosts. Even the outer gate of Kaifeng has been opened because of this, and the line has been drawn!

Doctrinally, the Quanzhen Religion advocates the unity of the three religions. Claiming that the three religions have the same origin, this is one family. The Taoist "Tao Te Ching", the Buddhist "Paroparamita Heart Sutra", and the Confucian "Book of Filial Piety" are the main classics. In terms of behavior, Wang Yao and his disciples saved Li Min and resisted foreign races. The history is called "the Chongyang Sect saves the world by doing nothing", which made it quickly gain the faith of the people in the north, and the Quanzhen Religion was able to spread its name all over the world!

Wang Hao's 7 disciples: Ma Yu, Tan Chuduan, Liu Chuxuan, Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong, and Sun Buer, respectively founded seven branches, including the Yuxian School, the Nanwu School, the Suishan School, the Longmen School, the Yuanshan School, the Huashan School, and the Qingjing School. When Genghis Khan began to look for immortals in Khorezm last year, the representative of the Quanzhen Sect was Qiu Chuji, who ranked fourth.

Qiu Chuji was born in 1148. The road number is Changchunzi, also known as Qiu Chuji. The reason for the change of surname is said to be to avoid the obscenity of Kongqiu. This is not surprising. Confucianism is also included in the category of saints in the Quanzhen Religion.

Qiu Chuji has received a lot of high-end calls in his life. The emperors of Jin and Song would invite him to drink tea and chat at every turn, but he didn't agree! This made him add a lot of noble and even national supremacy to his secular prestige.

But is that really the case? Not necessarily! For example, the 'little Yao Shun' Jin Shizong finished Yan Yong, and Qiu Chuji was invited to preside over a large-scale Qing affair... For example, last year, he received a call from Genghis Khan, and despite the age of 73, he immediately set off and ran to the far west!

In the autumn of 1220, Qiu led his disciples to set off from Laizhou, passed through Yihua and Cross-Country Fox Ridge, and traveled northeast to Hulunbuir to enter the Mongolian steppe. Then go west along the Tilulian River, cross the Mongolian Plateau, climb over the Altai Mountains, enter the northern part of Xinjiang, pass through Alimali, cross the Ta Tingsi River, cross the Sailan and enter Khorezm. Then he had to cross the Syr Darya River, cross the city of Samarhan, the city of Yulongjie Chicheng, cross the Amu Darya River, and follow every area of the Mongol expedition to the west, and finally meet Genghis Khan in the Great Snow Mountains (now the Hindu Kush Mountains in Afghanistan)!

On January 1, the 15th year of Jiading (1222), on the New Year, Song Ningzong received the treasure of the Mandate of Heaven in the Daqing Palace. Celebrate and give amnesty to the world. But in this atmosphere of national celebration, there is a less harmonious voice. Jia Shi wrote the history of Miyuan, "Heaven's will is hidden and difficult to know, and personnel are easy to see." When we think about today's affairs, there is no one who can answer the will of heaven. The troubles of the past are no more than gold. Today's troubles are Shandong Zhongyi and the north."

On February 29, a mutiny occurred in Hengzhou, Jinguo, and more than 10 people, including Hu Yanqi, killed people in the city.

On the 30th, Jin Xuanzong was unsuccessful in invading the Song Dynasty, the year's coins were extinct, and the country was empty, so he was really unwilling. So he ordered Yan Yanke and Shi Quan to control the three-way army Ma Nanzheng again!

On March 19, Jia Tianan, Yang Yunyi and others went to the south to advise them to stop the southern expedition, but Jin Xuanzong did not listen.

On the 24th, Li Shilin led the Jin army to defeat the Western Xia army at Yongmuling.

In April, the Great Snow Mountain, Qiu Chuji finally met Genghis Khan!

After nearly two years of long-distance travel, wind, frost, rain and snow, the desert of the Yellow River, and the trip to the Western Regions of Qiu Chuji, no matter the difficulty or length, it is not under the famous Tang monk Xuanzang! The significance of this trip is not only to propagate religion as a fundamental purpose. It's more complicated than Xuanzang back then. Xuanzang is exploring, Qiu Chuji is exploring, and he also has to deal with the most powerful and brutal people in the world, and even exchange!

Genghis Khan wanted to live a long life. There is information that he first wanted eternal life. After being clearly told that it is impossible, it is reduced to an increase in life span of 100 years or decades. He is confident that in more than ten years, he will be able to expand Mongolia's territory to the end of the world!

And in response to him, it was the snow-white head that Qiu Chuji gently shook... Qiu Chuji only gave this world hegemon two sentences: "Respect for heaven and love for the people, pure heart and few desires", can do these two things. Life expectancy will naturally increase, and your mood will improve...

Of course, such an answer is not satisfactory! One can imagine how disappointed Genghis Khan would have been! But please never underestimate the IQ of this generation of genius! Compare the expressions of Chinese emperors in the pursuit of immortality: for example, Qin Shi Huang was deceived by the scholars, constantly looking for immortal prescriptions, sending people to the sea, etc. It can clearly reflect the extraordinary features of Temujin, a Mongolian emperor who was both a foreigner, a wild people, and could not read a word!

He calmed down on the spot when he learned the answer, and said that he was very satisfied with what Qiu Chuji said. Think it's honest and well-intentioned. and then rewarded the Quanzhen Sect and Qiu Chuji himself! Qiu Chuji was revered as a "god", after returning to the east, he was appointed to be in charge of the Tianxia Daomen in Yanjing Taiji Palace, and after his death, his remains were buried in Baiyun Temple (now Xuanwu District, Beijing), and the Quanzhen Sect also benefited from it, and had a high status in the Yuan Dynasty. Even if he took the initiative to provoke a debate with Buddhism twice in a row and failed, it was still officially recognized...

Qiu Chuji's westward journey was written by his disciple Li Zhichang into a book "Journey to the West in Changchun". Well. For some reason, I wanted to be a great legendary great practitioner in China. Do you have to travel to the west once?

The book "Journey to the West in Changchun" is not only a simple record of a Taoist event, but also used to prove the supreme uniqueness of Taoism in later generations! This book is used to support the Taoist legend of "Lao Tzu's journey to the west and the transformation of Hu", declaring that Chinese Taoism is the patriarch of Indian Buddhism!

The right and wrong of religion cannot be defined by mortals. Back to Genghis Khan. How could he be clever and only ask Qiu Chuji alone?

He approached the imam and asked the same question. And the imam's answer was very formal, he held the Koran in his hand, quoted the scriptures, and did not have the slightest personal opinion...

Genghis Khan was stunned! You can imagine that even if you haven't read the Koran, you know that it never says how to live forever... All right! Genghis Khan was disappointed again! He laughed and said: I agree with all the teachings of the Bible, but I don't think of the pilgrimage to Mecca! The gods are everywhere, so why do you have to go to one place to pray?

The dream of immortality of a generation of Tianjiao was shattered, and his great Mongol empire finally took shape!

On April 3, Kim Xuanzong ordered the establishment of the Great Division of Nong. Yiqing, Shaoqing, Cheng and other supervisors, and set up branches in Jingdong, Jingxi, and Jingnan three roads, and also interviewed affairs.

On the 4th, the Mongol soldiers attacked Lingzhou County, Jin State.

In this month, Wanyan and Shi Quan crossed the Huai River in Yingzhou and Shouzhou, defeated the Song army in Gaotang City of Anfeng's army on Huainan West Road, and then attacked Gushi County in Gwangju and defeated the Song soldiers led by Jiao Sizhong, the general of Luzhou. On the 29th, they announced their victory to Jin Xuanzong. But he concealed that Shi Quan's nephew Shi Qing was now under the order of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he was rejecting Shi Quan's Jin soldiers.

Subsequently, Wan Yan could decide to return north. Walking to a place 20 miles away from the Huai River, Deputy Marshal Shi Quan suddenly pretended to pass on a secret edict and ordered the whole army to stay for three days to harvest the newly ripe wheat in Huainan. Wan Yan disagreed, "Now the Huai River is shallow, and it should be crossed quickly." What do we do in case of a skyrocket? What's more, you have to guard against the sneak attack of the Song army, and this wheat is not cut, but Shi Quan is determined to cut the wheat. Unexpectedly, it rained heavily that night, and the Huaishui skyrocketed, so of course I couldn't take care of cutting wheat at this time, and immediately fled north by light boat! As the commander, Wan Yan had to command the pontoon bridge to retreat. At this time, the Song army came from behind, and the Jin soldiers were defeated... After returning to China, the blame can be attributed to Shi Quan. Jin Xuanzong immediately ordered Shi Quan to be beheaded!

Although the final peace negotiation will not be completed by Jin Xuanzong's son Jin Aizong until 2 years later. However, from March 1217 to May 22, this war that lasted for more than five years and was launched by the Jin State to 'lose to the north and gain to the south' should be over. Afterwards, it was found that not only did it not take advantage of the Southern Song Dynasty as originally planned, but on the contrary, the military expenditure was huge, and the treasury was cleaned, and even the army itself was "lost in soldiers and horses, and there was no one in ten". And the hatred with the Southern Song Dynasty has become more and more intense, laying the groundwork for the Mengsong Dynasty to join forces to destroy Jin in the near future!

At the end of the war, both the Jin and Song countries wanted to cry without tears. Or active or passive or brain-dead or unavoidable, anyway, the national strength is greatly damaged, the military strength is greatly damaged, but the national defense cannot be thrown away, and even must be stronger!

On May 10, the prince Zhao Hong entered the title of Duke of Jiguo. At the same time, as Shi Miyuan's killer weapon, Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yijinghui, who was used to replace Zhao Hong, also added the title of Shaozhou defense envoy.

Some ministers were also aware of Shi Miyuan's conspiracy to abolish the establishment. Zhen Dexiu, who is also a court teacher, once advised Zhao Hong, "Prince, as long as you can be filial to your adoptive parents and respect the minister, then the destiny will return, otherwise it will be difficult to say" Unfortunately, Zhao Hong can no longer listen to these unfavorable advice, and is still intoxicated with the arms of the beauty, making his emperor dream...

Shi Miyuan stepped up his plot. He used the excuse of seeking blessings for his deceased father Shi Hao, and took the opportunity to set up a scripture altar in Jingci Temple, invited Zheng Qingzhi to ascend the Huiri Pavilion, and dismissed everyone, "Zhao Hong is really not the material to be an emperor, and Zhao Guicheng is really a good child, I want to ask you to be his teacher." When it is done, I will give you the position of prime minister. However, the matter is big, out of the mouth of Miyuan, into the ears of the king. Once it leaks, you and I will not be able to escape the scourge of extermination" Zheng Qingzhi agreed, carefully teaching Zhao Guicheng to make his studies progress by leaps and bounds. And Shi Miyuan constantly belittled Zhao Hong in front of Song Ningzong and praised Zhao Guicheng.

When Jin Deok-so heard about this, he knew that he had gotten into trouble, and immediately tried to resign. Before leaving, he gave Zhao Hong one last advice, but unfortunately Zhao Hong still didn't listen. (To be continued......)
