Song and Jin Chaos War Chapter
Western Xia is different, capricious, and only recognizes the racial genetic disease of Xiaoli in front of him to attack again! Xia Shenzong Li Zunwei refused to contribute to the Mongols, and claimed that if Genghis Khan was unable to fight, he should give up, and don't be tired... Genghis Khan was furious! Maybe the Tangut people are telling the truth, but they forgot: the Mongols poured their nests into the expedition, how could they let such a bad thing as they could stay by their side? Even if it's just for safety, without thinking about any dignity, you have to teach a hard lesson! Genghis Khan immediately turned his face and led the Mongol army to conquer Western Xia for the fourth time!
This year, in addition to major events such as Genghis Khan's preparation for the western expedition, the resumption of the war in Monxia, the resumption of the war in the Jin and Song dynasties, and the continuation of the fierce war in Mongjin, there was also a small incident. But for the author, this is an out-and-out big deal! Because this year, the author's hometown, Shanghai Jiading, was officially established as a county!
In the 10th year of Jiading (1217) of Ningzong of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wang Di and Zhao Yanxuan, the prefect of Pingjiang, proposed to Song Ningzong: The five townships that originally belonged to the east of Kunshan County, Pingjiang Prefecture were divided and a separate county was established! This construction was quickly approved. The superiors of Kunshan County, Zhexi Ti Criminal Division, and Pingjiang Prefecture (now Suzhou) were ordered to jointly discuss specific implementation measures. The name of the new county is named after the era name of the year - Jiading County, Pingjiang Prefecture. The outgoing Kunshan County Cheng Gao Yansun was appointed as the first Jiading Governor of the county, taking on the important task of creating Jiading County!
On January 10, the 11th year of Jiading (1218), Li Quan led the crowd to return and was named the head of Jingdong Road by the Southern Song Dynasty. Let's talk about it here: Jingdong Road is the territory of the original Northern Song Dynasty, and now it is called Shandong East Road in Jinguo, which is the territory that Li Quan has just grabbed with his own strength recently. In other words: this is just an empty title, and the territory is not in the hands of the Southern Song Dynasty at all! However, Li Quan didn't care about it and concentrated on working for the Southern Song Dynasty...

But when he first arrived at Chigukou, which was only separated from Qinzhou by one water, the order of Liu Changzu, the commander of Chuzhou, came: Withdraw the troops! And disband the loyal militia in the army! As soon as Wang Yi passed this military order, the army was defeated. On the 22nd, Jin general Bao Changshou led the troops of Chang'an and Fengxiang to attack Fujiao Fort again and kill Xihezhou.

In May, Gao Yansun officially arrived. It only took him two years to build Jiading County into a decent place. The county office selected more than 100 bungalows on the north side of the state bridge and the former military horse winery. Its gate, on the north side of the South City Street of Denglong Square, the east boundary is the North Street, the west boundary is the Chayuan Lane, and its location is about the Funing Lane on the side of the Jiading District Municipal Bureau, covering an area of 27 acres. In addition to building the government office, Gao Yansun also did several things: 1. Open the city, build the city wall, and build a defensive barrier for Jiading. 2A number of public buildings were built inside and outside the city, including post houses for the government to welcome and send off guests, altars for government sacrifices, and about 20 official warehouses. 3. The policy of 'educating the people' in governing the county was established. In 1219, the year after Gao Yansun arrived, a tall and gorgeous Confucian temple rose in the south of Jiading City.

The strength of the rebels has been confirmed on the battlefield! In the face of the Mongols who could not be defeated by the Jin army, Miao Daorun's righteous army won successive battles and recovered more than 50 cities in the Jin Kingdom in one go. Miao Daorun was named the left-behind envoy of the Central Capital because of his merits. It is equivalent to enclosing the entire territory of Hebei to him, and shouldering the important task of recovering the former capital of Jinguo...
China has had a truth since ancient times: in troubled times, those who dare to rebel have the opportunity to rise to the top of the national government! Miao Daorun succeeded, but it quickly decayed! The long-accumulated contradiction between him and Jia Yu, the deputy envoy of the Central Capital Economic Strategy, finally broke out this month!
On this day, Miao Daorun and his subordinates went out with several horses, but Jia Yu sent someone to ambush him and shoot him by the roadside. Jia Yu quickly took Miao Daorun's place. and asked Zhang Rou to submit to himself. Zhang Rou angrily shouted, "Jia Yu killed my marshal, I must eat his flesh raw to avenge the marshal" So the rest of Miao Daorun's troops quickly gathered under Zhang Rou's command in the name of revenge...
Zhang Rou led his troops north, while Shi Mo Ming'an led the Mongol soldiers to the south from the Bauhinia Pass in Yizhou, and the two sides fought fiercely at Langya Ridge. Zhang Rou was captured, and in the face of Shi Mo Ming'an, Zhang Rou resolutely did not kneel, "You are handsome, and I am also handsome." Death is death, and you will not steal life for you" Shi Mo Ming is strong and relieved. Feng Zhang Rou was the marshal of Hebei. Zhang succeeded Shi and became another top figure in the Mongolian Hanchen...
This month, the Mongol soldiers attacked Jinzhou on the Beijing Road of the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin marshal Liu Zhongheng was killed in battle.
On June 4, the Privy Council played: Jia Yu killed Miao Daorun without permission, please punish him. Jin Xuanzong said: "The top priority is to quickly collect the remnants of Daorun. Yu and others are unclear, so don't ask."
This month, Feng Tianyu rebelled in Linquan County, Shizhou, Hebei Road. was assassinated by Wang Jiusi, Shi Su Shi Lie, and Gongshun was pacified. Jin Xuanzong immediately sent Ma Jiliang to recruit the remnants of the party with edicts and gold coins. An Guoyong, who surrendered, was immediately named the defense envoy of Mengzhou.
On July 2, the Western Xia attacked the Niche Valley in Lanzhou on the Lintao Road several times. were all repelled by Jiagu Rui.
In August, Mu Huali led tens of thousands of foot cavalry to attack the Hedong Road of the Jin Kingdom. This month, Daizhou on the North Road and Xizhou on the South Road were captured. On September 6, it captured Taiyuan Province, the capital of Hedongbei Road. Marshal Ugu Lun Desheng hanged himself to death. His sister and wife both committed suicide.

Seek your own life," and then committed suicide. In November, Mu Huali captured Luzhou, and Jin generals Nahata Buratu and Wang Liangchen were killed in battle.
On the 4th, the East Route Army of the Jin Army crossed the Huai River and attacked the Huangkoutan of the Anfeng Army on the West Huainan Road.
This war, which the Jin State intended to 'lose to the north and gain to the south', soon fell into a quagmire, sticking and procrastinating, winning and losing, and both the Song and Jin countries were miserable! However, I can't stop it! Imagine that if the Southern Song Dynasty sued for peace, its status would be even lower, and the extortion of the Jin State for land reparations would be agreed or not? It's even more difficult for Jin Guo, it's very difficult to win, and I want to stop... Aside from the huge military expenditure, the international status is even more embarrassing than that of the Southern Song Dynasty. Not only is it disgraced by the Mongols, but even the traditional soft egg of the Southern Song Dynasty can't be cleaned up... After thinking about it, there is only hard to the end!
In December, taking advantage of the current upper hand in the war against the Song Dynasty, the Jin State sent an envoy Lu Ziyu to try to force the Southern Song Dynasty to negotiate peace and accept the currency. The Southern Song Dynasty held back the fire in his belly, and it was enough to be shot when he lay down, and he still had to admit his mistake and lose money? In a fit of rage, he simply refused to allow the Jin envoy to enter the country!
This also forced Jin Xuanzong to a dead end, he could only hold back his panic and carry the war to the end! Send the famous general Fusan Anzhen as the left deputy marshal, and the crown prince Wanyan Shouxu as the marshal, and officially issue an edict to attack the Song Dynasty! Note: It's been almost two years since the war began, and it's only officially "begun"...
said that Gao Qi, the minister of Jin Guoquan, has become very creative since he killed Su Shilie and seized power. He was lucky enough to catch Genghis Khan preparing for his expedition to the west, so the pressure dropped sharply, and he was able to enjoy himself...
In the midst of the pleasure, Shuhu Gao Qi thought of safety. The Mongols will one day attack Kaifeng, and they must be reinforced... Ginting agreed: Good ministers who are prepared for danger in times of peace!
Come slowly, Shuhu Gao Qi thought about it, there is very little money, especially the dead people in the outer city need to be protected? It would be nice to just fortify the inner city... Ginting agreed: O thrifty and practical good minister!
Slow down, I heard that the Northern Song Dynasty did not hold Kaifeng City, and it was too difficult to defend because of the plains and waterways on all sides. Why don't we find a cottage to run well, it will be safe in that environment...
Finally someone is furious! In the imperial history, Yan Bojia jumped out and said to Shuhu Quanchen: "Even if you can survive in the cottage, is this still a country?" Do you want to let His Majesty learn from the queen of Nan Chen, and hide in a dry well to save his life?"
It's been a long time since anyone dared to jump out and accuse Shuhu Quanchen of all kinds of brain-dead behaviors, and he was rightfully angry! So Wanyan Bojia was driven out of the imperial court and went to Hezhong Mansion on Hedongnan Road...
This year, the first Khorezm merchant group arrived in Mongolia. Open the door, it is said that whether it is a profiteer or not, in the first few transactions, he will make a childless appearance? But the Central Asians are too ugly to eat, and they fool the Mongols as fools at the first contact! The Khorezm merchant group demanded a sky-high price, and a piece of fabric worth only a few silver coins actually cost the price of gold...
Genghis Khan was furious! Is it easy to be a Mongol? Or look down on him? All the goods of this caravan have been confiscated! After that, Genghis Khan ordered to open the warehouse and let the Khorezmian people see what the Mongol Empire had! The Central Asian profiteers were dumbfounded, knowing that the Mongols had just robbed most of the Jin country!
The profiteers did not dare to raise any price, but said that the goods they brought were gifts for the Great Khan of the Mongols... Upon hearing this, Genghis Khan's anger suddenly disappeared. He is a strong man, but not treacherous, and not greedy. He ordered a flat price for this shipment! Each piece of silk fabric is worth one gold bari (about 75 dinars), and each piece of cotton fabric is worth one silver bari...
No matter how critical you are, you must admit in the face of the above things: Genghis Khan was generous, tolerant, and generous. He is full of the dignity of a monarch, and will never allow others to offend, but he will never kill them all, as long as the other party respects them at the right time!
The Khorezm merchant group returned satisfied, and it was the turn of the Mongolian merchant group to hit the road... Genghis Khan attached great importance to this matter, and he ordered the concubines, the kings, the ministers, and the ten thousand households to send about three cronies each to Khorezm with gold and silver goods... (To be continued......)
