Mongolian steppe

On the 27th, Wanyan Aludai returned from the Southern Song Dynasty and played: Han Yanxuan, the powerful minister of the Song Dynasty, was fighting hard and would plot the Northern Expedition. However, Jin Zhangzong Wanyan Jing didn't believe it, thinking that he was provoking relations between the two countries, and scolded Wanyan Aludai for fifty years, drove him out of the imperial court, and went to serve as the governor of Zhangde Mansion.

In December, Deng Youlong sent an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin. Just like Tong Guan's envoy to Liao and Ma Zhi 92 years ago, Deng Youlong also met a late-night seeker. Back then, Ma Zhi said that he could destroy Liao with Jin, and now this benevolent brother said that he can destroy Jin. Tong Guan brought back Ma Zhi, and Deng Youlong also brought back this mysterious person, known as "Han Yanzhou's book of advocating the army, and the discussion of the Northern Expedition began"

This month, Zhang Yan, the governor of the council, was appointed as the pacification envoy of the Lianghuai East Road, Cheng Song, the secretary of the Privy Council of Tongzhi, was the pacification envoy of the Lianghuai West Road, Xin Qiji was the pacification envoy of the Liangzhejiang East Road, Qiu Wei was appointed as the general of Mingzhou, and Li Yi was appointed as the deputy capital of Jing'e and the prefect of Xiangyang. Prepare for the Northern Expedition.

Trace the relationship between Wang Han's Kereh tribe and Temujin's Qiyan tribe: when the Kereh tribe and the Tatars failed in the battle, Wang Han and his mother were captured, and his father fled to the Naiman tribe, and later won the support of the Naiman tribe. After his father's death, Wang Han succeeded to the throne and killed his brother, only to be driven out of the tribe by his uncle. With the help of Temujin's father, Yesugai, Wang Han defeated his uncle, regained the throne of Khan, and became brothers with Yesugai. After being poisoned by the Tatars, Temujin worshipped Wang Han as his father-in-law and gathered strength with his help. After that, infighting broke out again in the Kereh tribe: Wang Han's brother, with the support of the Naiman tribe, drove Wang Han out of the tribe again. Wang Han wandered outside for more than a year, and later Temujin sent his four most important generals, namely the 'Four Heroes' Mu Huali, Borshu, Borhu, and Chilaowen, to help Wang Han, and the barbarian army was defeated. After that, Temujin and his brother Hesar defeated Naiman again, and killed all his generals and clansmen, and accumulated corpses to think that Jingguan 'Wang Han once again sat firmly on the position of the leader of the Kereh tribe... It's just that at this time, the relationship between the Kereh tribe and the Qiyan tribe, Wang Han and Temujin, which were close to each other in the past, has finally reached the critical point of the breakdown of the alliance!

The breakdown of the alliance was triggered by a marriage contract: this year, it was good that Temujin wanted to propose to the daughter of Wang Han for his eldest son Jochi, and Wang Han wanted to propose to the daughter of Temujin for his son Tusaha. But Wang Han's eldest son, Sangkun, was jealous of Temujin. strongly opposed, and in the end the marriage is not harmonious...

After that, Sangkun and Zamuhe tried their best to instigate him, and finally made Wang Han ruthless: he was determined to meet Temujin's intentions! They came up with a poisonous plan: pretending to be married, but in fact booby-trapping Temujin! He sent someone to invite Temujin to the banquet, saying that he was discussing the details of the wedding between the two families. Temujin was calm and took only ten horsemen to the banquet. Thinking about it halfway through, he thought it was wrong, so he let the two of them go to the platform and the beggar platform, and led the other eight horsemen to wait in place for the report. Unexpectedly, it was a priest from the Kerebu who was waiting for him, and he reported to Temujin that Wang Han's father and son had plotted the whole thing. And the two messengers of Temujin have been detained. The army of the Kereb is coming!

Frightened, Temujin hurriedly fled to the nearby Mount Wendur, while gathering his troops and horses. But there was still a huge disparity in numbers, and Temujin was defeated by Wang Han! It was one of the hardest battles of Genghis Khan's life. In the end, only 19 cavalrymen with Temujin followed him and fled to the Banju Ni River, where each of the 20 men was hungry and thirsty, and Temujin told everyone to kill wild horses for food and drink water to quench their thirst. Twenty people swore together by the river, "We will share adversity today, and we will share happiness with him every day." Three years later, when Temujin became Genghis Khan, all 19 people who drank Banzhu Nihe were awarded first-class meritorious service.

Tear face. For example, there is only one way left to face each other? But not Temujin! He sent someone to apologize and ask his stepfather, Wang Han, "Why don't you let your son and daughter-in-law sleep peacefully?" Are they doing something wrong? If so, call someone to blame. Now your son is so scared that he doesn't dare to come to see you. He won't come alone until he apologizes and gets your forgiveness."

Wang Han was moved, he felt that Temujin was still the "son" in the past, who was subdued by his kindness and shocked by his strength, and the Kerebu had become the strongest overlord of the Mobei grassland!

The Kereb on Mount Wendur began to celebrate in revelry. Wang Han, who is approaching the twilight of his life, is even more economical and intensifies his pleasure every day of his life. It is said that the lights of his big tent are never extinguished all night, and the singing and dancing are never stopped, which is a luxury that Mobei has never seen...

The Krebe is rotting in drunkenness! Temujin captured Wang Han's cronies. Led by this man, the light cavalry broke through the layers of tents and attacked suddenly at the intersection of night and dawn, and the battle situation was exactly the same as Wang Han's surprise attack on Temujin a few days ago!

Wang Han, Sang Kun, and Zamuhe all escaped almost alone, with only a dozen horsemen by their side. In a desperate situation, Wang Han's mind was clear, and he knew that the only hope was the Naiman tribe in the northwest. But when the powerful and noble Wang Han appeared on the border of Naiman, he was already too wolf, and was suspected by the Naiban generals who were quick to fire. No matter how he confessed and proved it, he was still cut down by the other party! Sankun fled all the way and was finally killed in the country of Qiuzi.

Zamuhe fled into the Naman, and the Kereh perished. But there is one person who must be mentioned: Wang Han's brother Zahedare did not have a daughter named Ruheteni, who later married Temujin's fourth son, Tuolei. gave birth to Yuan Xianzong Meng Ge, Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan, and Hulegu, the founder of the Ilkhanate. After the death of Yuan Ding Zongguiyou, she formed an alliance with Batu, the descendant of the Jochi lineage, against the descendants of the Wokotai and Chagatai lines, and finally transferred the supreme Khan of Mongolia from the Wokotai system to the Tuolei system, and all the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty were the descendants of Tuolei!

The 42-year-old Temujin finally came to the door! The Naiban Department is the last obstacle for him to dominate Mobei! As Sun Khan, the leader of the Nabarian tribe, said, "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings and evil in the people."

The strength of the Sun Khan of the Barbarian Department is extremely strong, each generation claims to be a lifelong battle, never let the enemy see the buttocks and tail of the war horse and his own back, always attack, always win... The goal is right, the implementation is tragic!

On February 16, the 4th year of Jiatai (1204), Jin Guoxing sacrificed to the three emperors, five emperors, and four kings. He also ordered Shangshu Province to determine which previous emperors could be sacrificed. Shangshu Province played "Xia Wang Shaokang, Yin Wang Taijia, Taiwu, Wu Ding, Zhou Cheng Wang, Kang Wang, Xuan Wang, Han Gaozu, Wen Di, Jing Di, Wu Di, Xuan Di, Guangwu Emperor, Ming Emperor, Zhang Di, Tang Gaozu, Taizong, a total of 17 monarchs, when the joint sacrifice" On the 19th, Jin Zhangzong issued an edict: If there is no Confucian temple in each Thorn Shizhou County, all of them will be built for me!

On March 4, the Southern Song Dynasty Xinggong caught fire, and it burned until the Taimiao, and the ancestral tablet had to be temporarily enshrined in Jinglong Palace. And in the north. The capital of the Jin Kingdom is dusk, and the wind blows the tail of Xuanyang Gate. On the 7th, Lin'an Mansion was ordered to provide disaster relief. On the 8th, the temple was rebuilt. On the 11th, Song Ningzong issued an edict against himself. Prime Minister Chen Ziqiang went to the office three times and asked for dismissal, but he was not allowed. Han Yanxuan came forward and donated 10,000 copper coins. So the bribes followed, and within a few months, he got 600,000 yuan. It is several times the number of losses caused by this natural disaster. On the 12th, he ordered hundreds of officials to speak bluntly about the loss of current politics.

Time travels to around 1204. The groupthink of the Han people has long had a new commonality. The spirit of hard work that he once had, such as the Shenzong Reform and the Shaoxing Northern Expedition, failed one by one, causing the consequences of Yan zhòng's thinking! People no longer believe that hard work can succeed, but conclude that the harder they try, the more miserable they become. Therefore, it is better to be still than to be still, and it is better to be in the middle than to be outside... Inert and pessimistic are close to stereotyped!

In particular, the Longxing Northern Expedition of the Xiaozong Dynasty lasted only ten days before winning or losing, which found corroboration for the above theory! At this time, Han Yanxuan proposed the Northern Expedition, and few people were in favor of it. Those who oppose it keep jumping out, some are openly discussing, some are scolding in private, and some are writing letters to Han Quanxiang himself to provoke, there are many people! Han Yanxuan wielded the stick of autocracy and swept it all the way. Soon the world became peaceful, and there was silence...

It's time for the Northern Expedition! The first element of the whole country is the morale of the people! In view of the seemingly ethereal and unpredictable morale of the people, Han Yanxuan did not sing high-profile or make speeches. Just did a few great things!

In early April, a temple was built for Han Shizhong in Zhenjiang Mansion! Zhenjiang is close to Huangtiandang, where the Southern Song Dynasty defeated the invincible Jurchens for the first time. It was only a little bit before the entire army of the Golden Vulture was wiped out. It is the starting point of the military prestige of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the temple is built for the heroes here, and its meaning is self-evident!

More than a month later, on May 21, the Southern Song Dynasty posthumously crowned Yue Fei as the king of Hubei! In Yue Fei's posthumous feudal system, the Southern Song Dynasty officials compared Huo Quzhi and Zu Ti to praise his life of loyalty to the country, "The master is selfless, and he will take away the prince of eternity; There is a prince in the world, and right and wrong will be decided in a hundred years" Yue Fei is finally crowned king! Although time has been missed for too long, and although Yue Fei didn't care about these titles before his death, after all, justice is in the hearts of the people! The Southern Song Dynasty officials, people, and people with a little conscience are all excited by this posthumous seal! It is an affirmation of strong beliefs such as loyalty, bravery, indomitability, and self-esteem, which makes the long-lost heroism flash back for a moment!

Later, the Southern Song Dynasty posthumously crowned Liu Guangshi as the king of Dun. Posthumously presented Yuwen Xuzhong as a small guarantee.

In August, Duanxiu, the Dali Cheng of the Jin Kingdom, was dismissed on charges of improperly convicting the Daxing prefect of Su Shilie. Li Bing, Meng Zhu and others immediately played and said that Su Shilie was indeed guilty, and Yushitai and Dali Temple were not wrong! However, Jin Zhangzong Nian was his own East Palace guard in the Sushi Lie, and he was quite partial, "The obsession is a rough person, but the Bahuer" Meng Zhu immediately grabbed the handle, "Tomorrow is on the top, how can there be a domineering minister" Jin Zhangzong was speechless, and finally demoted the Sushi Liezhong to the commander of the Wuwei Army, but still did not kill him. At this time, Wan Yan Jing would never have expected that this Su Shi Liezhong would be the first criminal of his Dajin country!

On October 7, Wan Yanjing issued an edict: All pro-army people under the age of 35 must study the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Analects".

Wu Lie, a member of the household department of Huguang, Jiangxi, and Jingxi Zhulu, was actively making various preparations for the Northern Expedition that was about to start in Jingxiang: recruiting troops; Strengthen the defense of Zaoyang and Xinyang; Divide troops to garrison the five passes of Yangluo, the gateway of Wuchang; scrutinizing spies at the border; transported 500,000 stone rice from Jinghu South Road to Xiangyang; 300,000 stone meters from Jinghu North Road were transported to Jing, Ying, An, and Xin counties; Accumulate millions of silver silk for a reward. select generals such as Dong Da, Chai Fa, and Meng Zongzheng (whose son is Meng Hui, the god of war of the Great Song Dynasty) and other generals to be listed in important counties; Strengthen combat readiness facilities everywhere in the important towns of Jingzhou: Xiu Gao's three seas (in that year, Gao Baorong, the king of Nanping, divided the river and became Daze, and used Shanghai, Zhonghai, and Xiahai to contain the northern cavalry. Song Taizu pacified Jingnan, in order to prevent theft of people who were based on this place for future generations, so the three seas were filled. Now Wu Hunt re-repaired, thinking that Jingzhou's danger is to build Jinluan, Neihu, Tongji, and Baoan, which can go directly to Zhonghai from Shanghai. Then build Gongchen, Changlin, Yaoshan, Jujube Forest four ku, and you can go directly to the sea. It is divided into Gaosha and East Awards, and is divided into the South China Sea. In the southwest of Chihu City, the water of Mahu Lake and Iron Doupi was contained, and the Li Shikui was placed in the northwest, and the water potential was four, and all the qiē was to limit the mobility of the Jurchen cavalry!

In November, the superintendent Yu Shi Lou Ji vigorously opposed Han Yanzhou's Northern Expedition, "the name of the restoration is not unbeautiful." Today's soldiers are arrogant, driven under the edge, talent is rare, money is not abundant, in case the soldiers are in trouble, and they don't understand for a long time, but "although the conspiracy is not known, and the feather book is galloping, China and foreign countries are confused" and to the main soldier Shi Deng Youlong face-to-face questioning, "Who can be a general today?" Who can be a minister? It is to make the temple rock deserve it, and it can be used to ensure that it can be used."

On December 5, Prime Minister Chen Ziqiang said: In order to fully support the Northern Expedition, please follow the story of Xiaozong, establish the National Utility Division, and oversee the internal and external financial endowments. And because of the letter of the head of the household department, Li Daxing, who opposed the Northern Expedition, was deposed as the prefect of Pingjiang. So the right prime minister Chen Ziqiang concurrently served as the envoy of the state, and participated in the governor's affairs Fei Shiyin and Zhang Yan for the same governor of the country.

Finally, it was time for the decisive battle between the Nabarian and the Beggars. Before the war, the Sun Khan of the Naiban tribe sent an envoy to meet with the leader of the Wangu tribe, another major force in the Mobei grassland at this time, and the leader of the Wangu tribe, who was known as the three hounds of the Jin State with the Tatar tribe and the Hongji tribe, and proposed that the two sides jointly destroy Temujin. However, Arakhusi tied up Yuekunai and led the ancient tribe of Wang to surrender to Temujin. After that, Wangubu received the same treatment as Hongjirabu. Temujin married his third daughter, Princess Arakhai, to the eldest son of Arakus. For generations, the leaders of the Wanggu tribe were allowed to marry the Golden Family, which became a rule.

The decisive battle took place in the early spring of that year. And as we all know, nomadic horses don't get fat until winter, and soldiers are in the best shape in winter, so nomadic battles basically break out in autumn and winter... Temujin did the opposite! Temujin's brother said that "everything should be done, and it is too early to be decided, so how can you be thin and resigned" Another younger brother, Belgutai, said, "It is a brute who wants to take away my arc arrow, and it is a small me." My generation deserves to die together. He boasted about his country, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to attack, and when the success was successful, "Temujin was overjoyed" to fight with the public, so why worry about "then marching into the army!" (To be continued......)
