To add insult to injury
The Jurchens are not stupid, they know that the Mongols have nothing to eat! If these were really given, these Mobei savages would not leave! They said they could give things, but only for gold, silver, and silk, and they really sent hundreds of bags of silk out of the city...
Genghis Khan was furious! He ordered to burn the silk silk on the spot, continue the assault, and break through the inner city of Zhongdu no matter what! But the inner city of Zhongdu has always been standing! And the food and grass of the Mongolian army has finally been cut off, and in the super vast territory of the Jin Kingdom, the reinforcements of King Qin from all walks of life are also approaching the middle capital! Bounded by the shape shì, Genghis Khan ordered the withdrawal of the army!
Wanyan Yongji finally escaped the catastrophe! He ordered the Shuhu Gao Qi to go out of the city to work outside the Tongxuan Gate in the north of the army. Immediately issued an edict: revoke Xuande Province, and promote Jinshan County in Fengsheng Prefecture on Xijing Road to Zhenzhou, with Shuhu Gao Qi as the defense envoy.
In November, Shan Yi, a left-behind disciple of the Jin State in Beijing, played "Since the country and Mongolia have been fighting, they have gathered and walked, and I have scattered and defended." Gathering and scattering, its defeat is inevitable. It is better to enter the city and prepare for it. Chang, Huan, Fu 3 prefectures, known as rich and solid, people are brave, can migrate to increase the strength of the army. Neither the human and animal goods nor the goods will be lost," but Wanyan Yongji did not listen. Tu Shan Yi once again played, "Liaodong is the foundation of the country, thousands of miles away from the central capital. In case of being attacked, it must be ordered by the imperial court, and a major event will be missed. You can send ministers to set up a province here, and act cheaply, "Wanyan Yongji does not listen" and places the province for no reason, shaking people's hearts and ears in vain" Finally, Tu Shan Yi sent Uksun Etun to lead 20,000 troops to the king of Zhongdu Qin. At this time, Wanyan Yongji was happy, and immediately made Shan Yi the right prime minister.
The Mongol army led by Jochi, Chagatai and Ogedai burned and looted all the way. After Yunnei, Dongsheng, Feng, Jing, Wu, Shuo and other places on Xijing Road fell one after another, the desire of the Mongolian army could not be controlled, so the history recorded "Dexingfu, Hongzhou, Changping, Huailai, Jinshan, Fengrun, Miyun, Funing, Jining... East through Ping, Luan, south to Qing, Cang, northeast by Linhuangfu across the Liao River, southwest to Xin, Dai... All of them were broken, "the army passed through the same place, regardless of the Khitans, Jurchens, and Han Chinese, "the people killed a few times." The cattle, sheep, horses, and livestock of the golden silk women swept away, the houses were burned, and the ruins of the city were "very cruel, but this is the meaning of war!"
The unrestrained and unprincipled looting and burning of the Jurchens destroyed the richest areas of the Jin Kingdom and fundamentally dealt a blow to the strength of the Jurchens.
In this catastrophe, the Mongols targeted the Jurchens, but most of the people killed were Han Chinese! There is no way around this, and it is inevitable that you will be injured by mistake in the war. Second, it is not clear who are the Han, Jurchen, Khitan, Xi, and Dangxiang people in the Central Plains at this time. After the blessing of Yan Jing, he went all out to promote sinicization, and the various ethnic groups were really "unified". How can the Mongols who suddenly rushed into the Central Plains tell the difference?
Of course, this is not to defend the Mongol army, but only to point out the actual situation in the Central Plains at that time. This will play a vital strategic role in the chaos of the Central Plains in the near future!
This was the end of the first Mongol gold raid. The results are nothing short of brilliant! If you have to talk about flaws, you just haven't taken the middle capital! This is indeed the shortcoming of the Mongolian army at this time! Due to geographical reasons, they rarely fought against the city wall, which made them suddenly unable to do anything when facing the largest and strongest city wall in the world at that time, where the original Han people lived...
Be that as it may. Genghis Khan didn't pay much attention either. The man who can only hide behind the city wall and survive is destined to have no threat to him! All he had to do was shatter the hard shell as much as he could! If you really can't? Then surround it until the whole city starves to death! This time he has experience, it's a big deal to prepare more food next time he besieges him, it's more than in the city...
The Mongols are summing up their experience. The Jurchens are forgetting their scars! After the siege of Zhongdu is lifted, it is said that we should seize the time to recover as much as possible, in case the Mongols come again next time? But King Wei Wanyan Yongji is doing the opposite!
Looking back on the battle situation, a large number of commanders of the Jin army with low ability and lower quality are waiting to be dealt with. Such as Wanyan Chengyu and Su Shilie. These two lost 400,000 troops in World War I. Guidance zhì capital alarm. One fled before fighting, killed the county order, robbed the treasury silver, corrupted military discipline, and trampled on national law. In what sense. Not killing is not enough to outrage the people! Especially in the period of national crisis, we are trying to use the head of this scum to boost the morale of the people! Even Song Qinzong understands the truth, Wanyan Yongji just did the opposite! Wanyan Chengyu was appointed as the commander of the soldiers and horses on Xianping Road, and he is still the boss in the army. Fu Shilie was named the right deputy marshal, but he was promoted... This makes everyone feel embarrassed!
But the most angry one turned out to be Su Shi Liezhong! The right deputy marshal once made a request to Wanyan Yongji: Give me 20,000 soldiers, and I will help you defend Xuanping. But Wanyan Yongji only gave him 3,000 soldiers and horses, and asked him to go to guard the Yanzhou in Huailai County, Shengzhou, and Su Shilie was very unhappy!
Recall the excuse of Wanyan Agu to raise troops against Liao: a chieftain of the Sushilie tribe named Ah Shu fled into Liao, and Wanyan Aguda used this as an excuse to build gold to destroy Liao! So much so that later, after Ah Shu was captured by the Jin army, everyone gave him the nickname "Broken Liao Ghost"... Now retribution has finally arrived! Su Shi Liezhong is the descendant of Ah Shu, and this person is the first sinner of Dajin to die in the country!
Wanyan Yongji didn't pay attention to these at all, and he also sent someone to contact Genghis Khan to see how it was possible to become good friends?
In fact, it was far more than Genghis Khan's Mongol army that gave Wanyan Yongji a headache, as well as the Han uprisings in Hebei, Shandong and other regions, as well as the champion emperor Li Zunwei of Western Xia, and the second Khitan uprising led by Yelu Liuge!
The various ethnic groups that had been oppressed by the Jurchens for a long time, especially the Han people, broke out from this moment on, an unprecedented civil uprising in the history of the Jin State! Most of the rebel armies were called red jackets, known as the "Red Jacket Army" in history
The reason for the uprising is simple, it has existed for many years. For example, Jin Zhangzong finished the Yan Jing period for pleasure, so that "the fertile fields are all into the powerful family, and the tomb well stove is all for the army" The civil wealth has been looted, and the anger at the bottom has long been ignited! The reason why it didn't burn up was only because the country of Jin was still the largest in East Asia at that time...
And at this time, the Jin army finally collapsed, but the life of the common people was even more difficult! The Mongolian army did not distinguish between good and low, and they all killed and robbed and burned all when they encountered it, and it is no exaggeration to say that at that time, the Central Plains north of the Yellow River was a real hell on earth! Even if it's not for hatred, just for survival, you have to pick up a knife and gun!
The largest of the Red Jacket Army uprising was led by Yang An'er, a native of Yidu. Yang Anguo, born as a scoundrel, makes a living by selling saddle materials, and everyone calls him Yang An'er. So he changed his name to Yang An'er. This time, due to the southern invasion of the Mongol army, Wanyan Yongji issued an edict to recruit the Tie Kang Dare War Army and recruited more than 1,000 people. With Tang Guhada as the capital commander and Yang An'er as the deputy capital commander, he ordered them to go north to the border. But when Yang An'er walked to Jiming Mountain on the border between Xuande Prefecture and Fengsheng Prefecture, he could not garrison the troops. To the envoy sent by Wanyan Yongji, he replied: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops in Wushabao and Yehuling, so there is no need to worry. After I deceived the emperor, Tongji Sizhong and Wanyan Chengyu were defeated on the front line, but Yang An'er did not send a single soldier to rescue. Now the Mongols have withdrawn, and Yang An'er has returned to Shandong. and Zhang Ruji and others officially raised the anti-flag, becoming the first Red Jacket Army to revolt, and Shandong was in turmoil.
And the champion emperor of Western Xia, Xia Shenzong Li Zunwei finally showed his talent. This person strictly abides by the master-servant relationship between Mongolia and Xia, and sends troops to join forces with Menghua Jin... Is there a difference with his predecessor?
The Western Xia army frequently harassed the land of Shaanxi of the Jin State, and Han Yu, the envoy of Shaanxi Tongzhi, was given military power by the Shaanxi pacification envoy, and ordered him to recruit troops in the name of the governor of Fengxiang, and recruited more than 10,000 troops, so he repelled the Western Xia army besieging Pingliang Mansion on Fengxiang Road. But some people were jealous of Han Yu's merits, so they secretly reported to Wanyan Yongji that Han Yu had colluded with the Western Xia people. Wanyan Yongji immediately deprived Han Yu of his military power, made him the deputy envoy of Heping Mansion, and ordered someone to go to Shaanxi to investigate Han Yu's affairs in Tongxia. At this time, Han Yu had already led the army to the king of Zhongdu Qin with a person named Li Gongzhi from Huazhou on Jingzhaofu Road. However, Li Gongzhi was framed by the Jingzhao army for wanting to rebel against Huazhou, and was killed. Li Gongzhi's letter to Han Yu wanting to join forces with him and enter the king of Beijing was also found (this qiē. Han Yu didn't know it) At this time, he happened to be arrested by the envoy sent by Wanyan Yongji, so Han Yu was also killed in Huazhou.
On December 3, Zhang Jun, the grandson of Zhang Jun, who had conspired with Shi Miyuan to kill Han Yanzhou, was framed by Shi Miyuan. Exiled to Xiangzhou on Quang Nam West Road.
This month, after Genghis Khan withdrew his troops, he did not leave the border of Jin at all. It's to rest for a while in the northern border of the Kingdom of Jin. Now he sent a messenger to ask: What about the princess whom Jin Guo promised to marry me last time? The Jin country is also going to cede land... If these two things are done, the Mongols will really retreat!
The city of Zhongdu fell into a sea of mountains and mountains, and a large number of Wanyan sat around to discuss how to bargain. The result is that the princess can marry, Wanyan Yongji is reluctant to kiss his daughter, and he can marry the third daughter of the first emperor Wanyan Jing, Princess Shunguo, plus 300,000 taels of coins per year... As for the land? Wanyan Yongji had forgotten about the scars, so he decided not to give it!
Genghis Khan was furious! If you don't want to give, you don't have to give, I'll bring the troops over again soon! Then the land and the women will be mine!
In the middle of the Annam Kingdom, the seventh emperor of the Li Dynasty, Gaozong Li Longhan, was in a desolation of banquets, and the country's power declined. The general Guo Bu made a rebellion and trapped the capital. Fortunately, Chen Cheng, the son of the fisherman, led the township soldiers to quell the chaos, and Li Longhan was able to reinstate. In this year, Li Longhan died, and Chen Chengli made his son Li Min the eighth emperor of the Li Dynasty, Huizong. But Huizong had no children, and his daughter Zhaosheng Princess Li Fojin married Chen Cheng's son Chen Rixuan. The Li Dynasty, founded in 1010 by Taizu Li Gongyun, was about to be transferred to the Chen Dynasty...
In January of the 5th year of Jiading (1212), the right deputy marshal of Dajin, Su Shilie Zhizhong, was very dissatisfied with the emperor only giving him 3,000 troops to defend the important town of Huailai Fuchuan, and he asked to retreat to Nankou or Xinzhuang, and wrote that "the Mongol soldiers will not be able to support them." One is not a pity, and three thousand soldiers are worried. The Twelve Passes, Jianchun, and Wanning Palace will not be guaranteed" Wanyan Yongji was furious, counted his fifteen major crimes, and exiled him... This, of course, deepened the dissatisfaction of the Emperor with this upside-down emperor! The Jurchen tradition is going crazy again! And the tradition of the Jurchens is that the generals are arrogant and domineering, and even the emperor is not in his eyes. So Wanyan Yongji! Now that you have deprived the military power of the Fu Shi Lie, you should start and finish well! We must no longer give military power to this first sinner of the Dajin country! Pity...
This month, Genghis Khan led a large Mongol army to attack the Xijing Road of the Jin State again. After capturing Yunzhong and Jiuyuan counties, the troops pointed directly at Fuzhou.
This land had previously been captured by the Mongol army and was still in the hands of the Jin state. This is because Genghis Khan's desires at this time are all in wealth and children, and he has not yet developed an overly strong desire for land... Genghis Khan once said: Why guard? Leave the land to the Kingdom of Jin, which is the grass we can harvest at any time. So after the capture and plunder, all the land was discarded, and the Jurchens were left to clean up the mess...
This time, instead of besieging Zhongdu, the Mongol army chose a seemingly oblique path: to attack Xijing! As one of the sixteen states of Yanyun and the capital of the former Northern Wei Dynasty, Pingcheng has a great reputation and the practical significance of sitting in the northwest of the Central Plains! These are all so that Jin Guo can't give up!
Su Shilie and Wanyan Wannu were ordered to rescue. Someone suggested to Su Shilie's hard work: "Mongolia is newly broken and Fuzhou, and it is being repaired." It is advisable to take advantage of its unpreparedness and cover it with light horses, and "Su Shilie does not agree", which is too dangerous. The whole army should be pressed by Ma Bu to make sure that everything is perfect", and then sent the Khitan Shi Mo Ming'an to meet Genghis Khan, "You have been to the north and know the lord of Mongolia. You ask him why he is raising troops to invade the country. If he can't say it, you will scold him and get angry" Shi Mo Ming'an came to see Genghis Khan, first scolded according to the order of Su Shilie Jiaojian, and then suddenly asked to surrender. Genghis Khan was also stunned by this kind of person, and ordered to tie it up first!
The Jin and Mongolian armies were in Qi'ermi. In the face of 300,000 gold soldiers, Mu Huali said, "I am outnumbered, and I can only fight." The minister asked for battle", so he led the brave men to die, rode their horses, and charged into battle. Genghis Khan's army then pressed up, and the Jin soldiers were defeated, fleeing all the way to the Huhe River, ambushing corpses for hundreds of miles.
After that, Genghis Khan ordered Shi Moming to be escorted up, "Why do you scold first and then surrender" Shi Moming replied, "The minister is the Khitan Xiao clan, and he wants to surrender for a long time." Before the envoy, I was afraid that Shi Lie would be suspicious, so it was as he said. Otherwise, how can I get this mission to see the face of heaven?" Genghis Khan thought about it right, and ordered Shi Moming to be placed. He was ordered to be his guide and led the Mongol army to conquer the Xijing Road. After capturing the Xijing Road, Genghis Khan planned to withdraw his troops and return to China to recuperate, Shi Mo Ming'an said, "There are 17 roads in the world, and now I only get Xijing Road." If you wait for the other party to come together, you will be difficult to beat. And the Jurchens have not known soldiers for a long time, and now they are coming with heavy troops, and the rumors can be determined. The soldiers are fast, how can they hesitate" Genghis Khan then ordered Shi Mo Ming'an to continue to attack south...
The Mongol army besieged Weining, and Liu Bolin, the defender of the Jin army, surrendered. Genghis Khan asked, "What kind of official is he doing in the Jin Kingdom?" and replied, "All are under control", which is very good! Now you're the capital of our Mongolia! I order you to lead the army together with the township guide Tuha to pacify the states behind the mountain. (To be continued......)
