Prelude to the change of day

It is not so much that he lost to the Mongols, but that his ability is short. Zaaldin is an unyielding tough guy on the battlefield, extremely appealing, and no matter how he fails, newcomers will follow. But when it comes to governing the country, he's really bad. The people of Khorezm have never been happy under his rule, not even a shadow of happiness!

After the First Battle of the Shen River, there were no more rebels in the land of Khorezm! The first Mongol expedition to the west also achieved a final victory!

In early January of the 16th year of Jiading (1223), Mu Huali surrounded Fengxiang Mansion, from Fufeng and Qishan in the east to Longzhou in the west.

Jin Xuanzong ordered Tejia Kaqika to rush to the aid of Fengxiang and guard Yan Zhongyuan. Wanyan Zhongyuan asked Guo Bin, the prefect of Lintao, who was both civil and military, to lead the military at this time. For more than 40 days, Guo Bin repelled one Mongolian attack after another. On this day, Guo Bin and Teja Kazika inspected the moat, and saw a Mongol sitting on a hu bed from a distance, making a lot of gestures to tease the defenders in the city. Kazika knew that the other party dared to be so arrogant because he was outside the range of his bow and arrow, so he asked Guo Bin "Can you shoot" Guo Bin replied "can" open his bow and arrows, the other party was killed in response, and the Mongolian army couldn't help but be angry. Mu Huali had to consider retreating, "I was ordered to make a special expedition, and in a few years, take Liaoxi, Liaodong, Shandong, and Hebei. But a few days ago, I attacked Tianping, Yan'an, and now I am attacking Fengxiang, all of which are not down, it seems that my life will not be long in the future" So I withdrew the siege and slowly retreated along the south of Weishui.

In the early part of the month, Uncle Hou, the Jin general, got a group of copycat soldiers from Zhongtiao Mountain in Jiezhou, Hedongnan Road, and decided to recover Hezhong Mansion. Shi Tianying, who was appointed by Mu Huali to stay in Hezhong Mansion, sent Wu Ze to lead 500 troops, went out of the east gate at night, and ambushed in the valley. I am in front of you, and I can attack in the middle" But although Wu Ze is brave, he is addicted to alcohol. That night, he was really drunk. Uncle Hou seized the opportunity and went straight to the city of Hezhongfu from the path. Shi Tianying rushed to the battle, and there were only more than 40 riders on the left and right, all of whom said that "Wu Ze misunderstood me" and some people persuaded Shi Tianying to cross the river to the west and enter Shaanxi to see Mu Huali. Shi Tianying sighed, "Even if the master doesn't offend me, how can I see him?" Today is only death," Shi Tian should drink blood and fight until noon and die. Uncle Hou, who recovered Hezhong Mansion, immediately pacified the people and burned the pontoon bridge to cut off Mu Huali's way back.

When Mu Huali heard that Shi Tianying had died in battle, he was in great pain, and ordered his son Wuge to attack and lead his people. The Mongol army led by Mu Huali wanted to cross the river and return eastward. The bridge is broken. Mu Huali ordered the bridge to be repaired, and at the same time said to the generals, "It will take a while to build the bridge, I know that I am dying, and now I should seize a qiē time", so he wantonly plundered in Hexi and captured more than ten fortresses.

A large Mongol army of 100,000 soldiers besieged Hazhong Province to retake this strategic location. Wanyan sent Sun Chang to lead 5,000 troops, and Wanyan Sabu sent Li Renzhi to lead 3,000 troops to come to the rescue. Uncle Hou agreed with them: in the middle of the night, the cymbal will be the number, and the inside and outside will correspond. When it was midnight, Uncle Hou Mingcheng went out of the city. But Sun Chang and Li Renzhi didn't dare to move because they were afraid. Uncle Hou had no choice but to retreat into the city and continue to hold on. At the same time, Zhang Sizu was sent to fight his way out of the encirclement. Go open the envelope and report the letter. On the 24th, Hezhong Mansion was broken by the Mongol army, and Uncle Hou was killed in battle.

On February 9, Kim Xuanzong issued an edict that "military officers commit crimes." In the past, he was no longer appointed. But now that it's an eventful season, talents are rare. In addition to committing serious crimes, the crimes of imprisonment and posthumous matching, there are those who can be in charge of the army with all martial arts. I will reuse the amount of "14th, amnesty.

On March 5, Zhang Lin, who occupied Xingzhou on the West Road of Hebei and Dezhou on the East and West Road of Shandong, surrendered to the Southern Song Dynasty again. The Southern Song Dynasty was not to blame for its past. and the third level of official was added, and he was still appointed as the deputy head of Jingdong East Road.

On the 11th, Jin Xuanzong and the ministers discussed the virtue and talent of talents, "only those who are not right-hearted, but those who are not right-hearted are not noble in the end" The right prime minister (prime minister) Gao Ruli agreed: "His heart is not right, and he uses his talents, which is the so-called tiger with wings" Jin Xuanzong also said, "It is very rare to have both ability and political integrity." And only virtue is often regarded as ordinary" Gao Ruli said, "Talent cannot be perfect everywhere, but His Majesty wants to take its strengths and use them"

This month, Mu Huali, who crossed the Yellow River and returned to Wenxi County, Jiezhou, on the southeast road of Hedong, died of illness. To his brother Dai Xun's last words: "I have helped the country to achieve a great cause, and I have been holding my armor for 40 years, and I have no grudges in the east and west." I only hated that I couldn't capture Kaifeng. Thou shalt exhort it"

This genius general whose fate gave a generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan failed to destroy the Jin Kingdom in time, but the 53-year life he has walked can be called a perfect consummation! From slave to general, from general to king, a lifetime of conquest is brilliant! His record is better than that of the Great Liao God of War Yelu Hugo and the Great Golden God of War Wanyan Lou. And his political achievements are even more than his achievements. God knows how he managed to build a solid and expanding prototype of a new empire in the vast and complex Central Plains with a force of 15,000 men!

This month, Jin Xuanzong, who heard the news of Mu Huali's death, was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the Mongolian Gang to lead the Pizhou Economic Strategy Division to recruit warriors and recover the lost territory in Shandong. After ordering Yan Bojia to act as the governor of the government, establish a province in Hezhong Province, and Shi Yongtu and Shi Yongtu were responsible for recovering the lost land on Hedong Road. On April 1, Jin Guo recovered Fenxi County in Huozhou on Hedongnan Road. On May 4, he recovered Hazhong Province and Rongju. On the 13th, it recovered Huozhou and Hongdong County of Binh Duong Prefecture.

In May, Genghis Khan set up a special official position of the Mongol Empire, such as Daru Huachi, in various parts of the Western Regions, and formally established the rule of the Mongol Empire on this land. After that, Genghis Khan, who was taking refuge in Balu Bay, felt that he was unhappy, and his long-term invincibility made him lonely. So he thought of something that should be enough to please himself: to send all the princes and generals closer to him. He's going to celebrate, and he's going to have a huge hunt!

Soon, the upper echelons of the Mongol expedition to the west, including Subutai, Jebe, who were on an expedition against the Kipchak tribes... All arrived from all directions, except for Genghis Khan's eldest son Jochi!

Jochi was marching far north, and he didn't have time to do so to open up a larger territory for his father and the Mongol Empire. And in apology, he sent troops to drive a large number of wild beasts to the hunting grounds...

Genghis Khan's first reaction at the moment was anger! He has already cultivated the domineering that all living beings in heaven and earth must bow down to him, and he can't stand the slightest disobedience, even if it's his son!

But then, the reason generated by the majestic strategy prevailed. At the congress, he solemnly declared: Jochi left without permission, and henceforth he is not eligible to inherit any of his property! But Jochi was still his eldest son, and from then on he expanded his territory into the endless northern distance, and would forever be the northern domain of the Mongol Empire! Genghis Khan solemnly promised that Jochi and its descendants could decorate the tent roof with gold! Hence the name of the Golden Horde, the largest and most powerful of the four Mongol khanates...

The hunt took place as scheduled, and the Mongols dispersed with joy. The nobles of the upper echelons returned to their troops. The final purge before the evacuation begins! The true owner of this land is Chagatai, and he will be enshrined here. At this time, neither Chagatai nor the others noticed anything else. All they could think of was that Mongolia itself was already the empire's prince, and that his youngest son, Tuolei, would always stand behind Genghis Khan. Then Chagatai is enclosed in this vast foreign land, and it is the best choice for the country and him!

Now there is no one who can connect the Chagatai Khanate with the Golden Horde...

In order to restrain Li Quan, Jia She, the Huaidong system, reorganized the loyal and righteous army: Zhai Chaozong led 8,000 Zhenjiang soldiers to garrison the city of Chuzhou. There were 10,000 loyal and righteous troops in front of the tent, led by Zhao Bangyong and Gao You, and 5,000 were stationed in the west of Tuncheng. Wang Hui and Yu Tan both rate 5,000. Stationed in Huaiyin County, Tun. Li Quan despised the Zhenjiang soldiers and was afraid of the loyal and righteous army in front of the tent, so he always praised Gao You and others in front of Jia She, and asked Jia Shi to allocate this army to himself whenever he sent troops. At the same time, I also have a good personal relationship with these generals and colonels of the loyal army in front of the tent, just waiting for an opportunity...

The opportunity is coming soon. On June 11, Jia Shi saw that Li Quan's power was growing and arrogant and difficult to control, and he knew that he could not do anything, so he tried to return to the court, but died on the way. The imperial court sent Qiu Shoumai to take over. Li Quan immediately asked Qiu Shoumai and was allowed to classify this batch of loyal and righteous troops in front of the account under his own name.

17th. Jin Xuanzong accepted the construction of the Mongolian Gang and sent people to recruit Li Quan, Yan Shi, and Zhang Lin.

On the 23rd, Jin Xuanzong ordered: Leave the province in Hezhong and only place the marshal's mansion. And Guo Wenzhen, the Duke of Jinyang, migrated to Mengzhou on the southeast road of Hedong. Immediately migrated to Weizhou on Hebei West Road.

This time, the champion emperor of Western Xia, Xia Shenzong Li Zunwei, finally played himself to death!

This person took advantage of Mongolia's westward expedition, first wanted to join Jin to resist Mongolia, and then joined Song to fight against Mongolia after being refused. Before there were any results, Mu Huali suddenly led his army into the territory of Western Xia. The soldiers pressed the realm, and Li Zunwei withered all of a sudden. For the first time, he became Lianmeng Vajin again... is so rebellious, his eldest son, Li Deren, the prince of Western Xia, can't stand it anymore!

Li Deren said to his father: We should negotiate peace with the Jin State and defend the land together... The Emperor jumped up as if he had suddenly stepped on his tail, shouting that you don't understand anything!

It was only then that the Emperor Zhuangyuan confided in his heart! He was talented and thought of many, many things from the past. The most successful emperor in the history of Western Xia can be said to be the founder of the country, Li Yuanhao, but the achievements of another emperor are also very high - Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun! This emperor quickly saw the shape of the Jin State when it was rising, attached himself to the Jin State, and took the fire during the period of great historical changes in the Jin State to destroy the Liao and Song Dynasty, so that the Western Xia not only survived safely, but also obtained a large piece of land. And how similar it is to this time and then, Xia Shenzong's back and forth is swaying, it is nothing more than taking advantage of Mongolia to destroy gold again, and also make a gap fortune!

Isn't that possible? Liaojin feud, Jinmeng is also a feud. As long as it works properly, Western Xia can completely replicate the luck of the last time!

As long as it works properly, so this champion emperor keeps operating... His only mistake is that he doesn't understand Genghis Khan, which is completely different from Jin Taizu!

Somehow, there is a traditional way of thinking in China, which always connects Temujin, Wanyan Aguta, and Nurhachi, as if they were a class... This is completely wrong!

Whether it is Akuta or Nurhachi, they have only participated in Chinese history and have no intersection with other neighboring countries. Temujin, on the other hand, was an important part of world history, and his achievements and vision were far higher than those of anyone in ancient history! Whether he is good or evil, this height does not change! Such a person will not cling to the hatred of his ancestors, and will not regard the destruction of the Jin Kingdom as his only goal!

In fact, the first point of attack of the Mongols was in Western Xia! Because Xixia is in the ribs of its development! If it is not destroyed, the Mongol army will not dare to really exert its strength and attack the distance. So from a macro point of view, no matter who it is, no matter how it works, the demise of Western Xia is doomed!

Emperor Xia Shenzong didn't know this, he was doing his best for the survival of Western Xia! Whoever opposes him will become his enemy, even his crown prince!

The prince said in depression that he would quit and would abdicate himself and become a monk! His father fulfilled half of his requests, deposed him as the crown prince, and imprisoned him in Lingzhou City! Then, Xia Shenzong appointed his second son Li Dewang as the crown prince.

After that, Xia Shenzong disregarded the country's destruction and people's shortcomings, mobilized people and horses to attack the Jin country, and tried his best to please the Mongols! On July 1, Western Xia attacked Jishi Prefecture on Lintao Road in the Jin Kingdom.

On the 4th, Jin sent troops to guard the salt pond in Jiezhou, southeast of the river.

On August 1, his subordinate Nahata Luge killed the Mongol Gang and occupied Pizhou with the Mongol general Li Ercuo to rebel! and sent a letter to Li Quan, who now occupies Haizhou, saying that he was willing to join the Southern Song Dynasty. Li Quanxian sent Wang Xi'er with 2,000 troops to receive it, and then set off with his own army, and heard on the way that Wang Xi'er was imprisoned by Li Ercuo. Li Quan was furious and immediately prepared to storm Pizhou. Li Quanzheng planned to return to Chuzhou, the base area, and heard that there was turmoil in the two prefectures of Binhai and Di on the East Shandong Road, so he turned north and went to Yidu Mansion in Qingzhou to suppress it. Subsequently, the Jin general Sushilie Yohd beheaded Nahata Luge and recovered Pizhou.

On December 22, Jin Xuanzong died in Kaifeng. Throughout the life of this emperor, what he did was very much like Zhao Ji and Yelu Yanxi back then, and a series of wonderful combination actions finally dug up the tomb of the Jin Kingdom! Historical commentary of the universal sense says that he did three great things wrong:

1 Give up the capital and move the capital to Kaifeng... This lost the century-old foundation of the Jurchens, lost the Yanshan Mountain Range, which could be attacked and defended, and occupied the advantageous location, and directly turned the Jin Kingdom into the Northern Song Dynasty! The Mongolian iron cavalry was like the Jin army back then, and the Jin country was doomed!

2 Don't fight Mongolia, counterattack the Southern Song Dynasty ... Incorrigible money tuberculosis, incredible stupidity! Spending the already limited national and military strength on the southern battlefield, compared with Mongolia, which made huge profits in the western expedition, is even more doomed!

3 feudal nine dukes... There is no more ruthless way of self-abuse, why haven't I seen any Han people rushing up to sue him for the core classic of Han culture, "Rather with friends than with domestic slaves"? To be honest: this has definitely accelerated the demise of the Jin Kingdom! (To be continued......)
