In troubled times, no one is a fool, and a fool has long since died!

The rise of the Song Dynasty shocked the world, and the surrounding neighbors were terrified, fearing that there would be another strong Tang Dynasty!

At this time, the tyrant of the Song Dynasty that the surrounding countries hoped for the most hung up, and the Song Dynasty also stopped the pace of attack at that time, but it was a dream. Since that poisoning, the defenses of the court have been so tight that it is almost impossible to assassinate the emperor. At this time, Zhao Pu was just thirty years old, strong and strong, and it was most normal to live for more than ten years.

And more than ten years is enough to wipe out Western Liao, Western Xia, etc.

Yelu Dashi didn't think that relying on the Triple Alliance, he could withstand the attack of the Song army.

"Your Majesty, it's not like there's no way to resolve it!" The strategist next to him said, "Your Majesty, you can give up the throne and send envoys to the Song Land to honor Zhao Pu as the Khan of Heaven; You can also send a clan woman to Zhao Pu and Song Liao to marry. Only in this way can we have a glimmer of life! ”

"That's it, if you go to the emperor, if you can protect the Western Liao Kingdom, it's okay. If you can respect him as the Khan of Heaven and give me Xiliao a way to live, it is not impossible; If you send a clan woman to marry the Song Dynasty, the two countries are better, and it is not impossible! It's just that I think it's still a little unreliable! ”

Yelu Dashi said worriedly.

Going to the throne, sending honorific titles, and marrying the Song Dynasty are all trivial matters, and he doesn't care, just relying on these, it seems that it is difficult to stop Zhao Pu's offensive ambitions. Although they have never met, Zhao Pu's ambition is far greater than that of previous emperors. The emperors of the past dynasties either expanded to the north or to the west. Or expand southward, but there is a sense of awe of the ocean.

But Zhao Pu did not have a sense of awe for the ocean. A powerful navy was formed, and the Nanyang Protectorate was built, and it was necessary to find a "new continent". The ambition is big, the vision is long-term, beyond the world, people are staggered. If it's just ambition, that's it.

But he wasn't just ambitious. It is even more powerful.

In the Battle of Youyun, the city of Youzhou was broken in fifteen days; Fight for the main force of the Jin Army and break the main force of the Jin Army. Reputation. Whether it is a field battle, a city defense battle, a city breaking battle, a water battle, etc., this emperor is first-class and extremely strong.

Such an emperor is extremely difficult!

Jerod Stone. I don't think it's just going to the throne. Sending honorific titles and marriages can make the Song Dynasty stop its pace.

"And the princess?" The strategist said, "Your Majesty, you are most fortunate to favor the princess, if the princess is the queen, you can." Even if the situation collapses to the extreme, I, Yelu Clan, can protect the temple! ”

"That's all there is to it!"

…………

In the palace of the Western Xia Dynasty. At this time, the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun was also panicked.

Li Qianshun, Chongzong of Western Xia, was the fourth emperor of Western Xia. He was only three and a half years old when he ascended the throne and reigned for 54 years, second only to Zhao Tuo, Kangxi, Qianlong, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and Renzong of Western Xia in terms of reign in Chinese history.

When Li Qianshun ascended the throne, it was the era of Song Zhezong of the Song Dynasty.

As a child, Li Qianshun's power was hollowed out. Grandmother Empress Dowager Liang and younger brother Yi Yi assisted the government, formed the Hou Party, and invaded the Song Border year after year. Yi was arrogant and arrogant, and was killed by the great chiefs Wei Ming Ah Wu, Renduo Baozhong and others. Empress Dowager Liang led an army of 500,000 with Chongzong to attack the Song Dynasty, broke through Jinmingzhai (now Ansaibei, Shaanxi), and offered the Song prisoners to Liao.

This annoyed the Song Dynasty, the Song army built a village along the border, pressed the attack, and the Xia soldiers were defeated and retreated. The Western Xia humbly sued for peace, and the Song Dynasty dismissed the army.

In the first year of Yong'an (1099), the Empress Dowager Liang died, and Li Qianshun was able to govern in person. He begged to Liao to marry again, wanting to unite the Liao State, and Liao married the princess with the daughter of the clan. Song Tongguan led the Shaanxi Sixth Route Army to attack Xia, and the two sides won and lost each other.

With the help of the power of the Liao Dynasty, Li Qianshun ended the situation of the dictatorship of the mother party, and relied on the support of the Liao Daozong to support the pro-government. Therefore, after Qianshun came to power, he was completely politically dependent on the Liao Dynasty, and adopted a conciliatory policy towards the Song Dynasty. In February of the second year of Yong'an (1099), Qianshun sent troops to help Liao quell the uprising of Basi's mother.

Qianshun hoped to make peace with the Song Dynasty, but Song Zhezong did not allow it. In the case of the mediation of the Liao Dynasty, Qianshun executed the two people who had planned to disturb the Song border for the Empress Dowager Liang, and sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty to apologize for their crimes.

Since the founding of Yuan Hao in Western Xia, there has always been a dispute between "Fan Li" and "Han Li", and the two dynasties of Yizong and Huizong have gone through repeated times, and the struggle has become more intense when Qianshun arrives. Qianshun admired the highly developed Confucian culture and Han civilization, and he decided to vigorously promote Han culture in Xia to change the backward atmosphere of Western Xia.

In the third year of Yong'an (1101), he advocated Confucianism through the mouth of Xue Yuanli in the imperial history, and said in Xue Yuanli's Shangshu: "The trip of scholars is nothing more than filial piety; The model of the country is more important than Confucianism. In the past Yuan Wei Kaiji, Zhou Qi succeeded to the unification, all respected Confucianism, advocated poetry and books, and covered the legacy of the northwest can not be established and educated." Therefore, only by re-advocating Sinology can we change the bad atmosphere of Xia and save the crisis we are facing. Qianshun adopted Xue Yuanli's suggestion and ordered the establishment of a special "Chinese Studies" in addition to the original "Fan Studies" to teach Sinology. 300 children of the royal family and nobles were selected, and the "Virtuous Cultivation Service" was established, and the government provided food, professors, and training.

After Qianshun came to power, he drew lessons from the history of the former DPRK's dictatorship and worked hard to reduce the power of the mother party. At that time, Empress Liang's confidant Wei Ming Ah Wu had died, and Qianshun commanded the army to be loyal and dismissive, and relieved him of military power. On the other hand, measures were taken to consolidate the power of the emperor by dividing the imperial family. In September of the third year of Zhenguan (1103), Qianshun named his brave and resourceful cousin Cha Ge as the king of Jin and let him control the army. In November of the second year of Yuande (1120), he named Renzhong, the son of Jing Sizi of the sect, as the king of Pu, and Renli as the king of Shu. The two brothers Renzhong and Renli are proficient in Tibetan and Chinese characters, and are good at poetry and writing. Feng Minister Wei Ming An Hui is the king of Liang Guozheng.

After Song Huizong succeeded to the throne, the Song Dynasty used Cai Jing as the prime minister and began to use troops against Western Xia. In May of the fourth year of Xia Zhenguan (1104), Song Shaanxi transfer envoy, Zhiyan Prefecture Tao Jiefu, sent troops to attack the stone fort, seized its grain cellar, and built a castle to defend it. Qianshun said angrily: "The Han family has taken my golden cave!" "The iron cavalry fought in and out, and the Xia soldiers were repulsed. June. The Xia army and the Song generals were able to fight in Lingzhou Sichuan and were defeated. In October, Qianshun sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty to ask for peace. After being refused, he was forced to gather the forces of the Fourth Prison Army Division and launch an attack on Jingyuan and other states in the Song Dynasty, besiege Pingxia City, and attack the Zhenrong army. From the fifth to the sixth year of Zhenguan, the Song army attacked Xia several times, and the Xia army was repeatedly defeated. Qianshun twice sent envoys to Liao for help. For this reason, the Liao Dynasty sent an envoy to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty, asking for a call to call off the army, and to return the land it occupied in Western Xia. February of the 6th year of Zhenguan (1106). Under pressure from Liao and expediency, Song Huizong promised to return the Western Xia border lands occupied since Chongning and negotiate peace with Xia.

However, the Song Dynasty's powerful ministers Cai Jing and Tong Guan clique used troops against the Western Xia and implemented the policy of opening the border to invite merit. After more than seven years of preparation. The war against Western Xia was resumed. From the second year of Yongning (1115) to the first year of Yuande (1119), the Song army invaded Xia many times, and the Song Xihe River made Liu Fa's army go deep into the heart of Xingzhou and Lingzhou, the capital of Xia, and Qianshun ordered the Jin King Chage to lead more than 10,000 people to meet the battle, and the Xia army fought bravely to defeat the enemy, and completely annihilated Liu Fa's department, and the Song army suffered tens of thousands of casualties. The Xia army took advantage of the victory to break through the city of Song Tong'an and entered the siege of Zhenwu City. June of the first year of Yuande. When Qianshun won a great victory in the war against the Song Dynasty, he once again asked the Song Dynasty for peace in the name of Liao. The Song dynasty was forced to accept peace with Xia.

At that time, the Jurchen Jin State was established, and they went south to attack the Liao Dynasty, conquered Liaozhongjing, and then advanced to Xijing. In March of the fourth year of Yuande (1122), Qianshun sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to aid Xijing, and Xijing was lost and returned to the division. In May, Qianshun learned that Emperor Liao Tianzuo had fled into Yinshan, so he sent the general Li Liangfu to lead 30,000 troops to rescue, and fought with the Jin general Wanyan Lou on the bank of the Yichuan River, and the Xia soldiers were defeated. In July, Qianshun sent the minister Cao Price to ask Emperor Tianzuo about his life and give him food. In the first month of the fifth year of Yuande (1123), Qianshun sent troops to rescue Liao again, but was blocked by Jin soldiers and could not advance.

In May, Emperor Tianzuo pseudo-descended to the Jin Dynasty, and fled to Yunnei Prefecture in the west (now Tumut Left Banner in Inner Mongolia), and Qianshun sent an envoy to meet him at the border of Xia and invite Emperor Tianzuo to enter the Xia realm. In June, Emperor Tianzuo sent an envoy to serve as the emperor of the Xia State, and ordered to send troops to save Liao. At this time, the Jin Dynasty also sent envoys into Xia and proposed to Qianshun: If Emperor Tianzuo escaped into Xia, he should be captured and sent to Jin; If Xia can do the gift of Liao, Jin is allowed to cede the land in the northwest of Liao to Xia. Qianshun saw that the demise of the Liao Dynasty was a foregone conclusion, and in order to preserve the secession status of the Xia Kingdom, he agreed to Jin's conditions. In March of the sixth year of Yuande (1124), Qianshun swore an oath to the Jin Dynasty, expressing his attachment to Jin. After the fall of Liao, Princess Liao Cheng'an, the concubine of Qianshun, knew that her homeland had died, and she was grief-stricken and died of hunger strike in the palace.

In March of the eighth year of Yuande (1126), Qianshun took the opportunity of the Jin soldiers to attack the Song Dynasty and sent troops to capture the castles originally built by the Song Dynasty on the Xia border. In accordance with the Jin Dynasty's promise to Xia, he invaded the areas of Tiande, Yunnei, Wuzhou, and Hedong, as well as Zhenwu City (present-day Yulin, Shaanxi) on the Song border. He also captured Xi'an Prefecture in the Song Dynasty, Jianning in Linzhou, and Huaide Army, took advantage of the victory to conquer Tiandu Village, besieged Lanzhou, and withdrew after plundering and returning. Soon after, the Jin general Wanyan Zongbi sent troops to forcibly occupy Tiande, Yunnei and other prefectures, and Qianshun questioned the Jin Dynasty. In March of the first year of Zhengde (1127), the Jin Dynasty and Xia demarcated the border, and the Jin Dynasty assigned about thousands of miles of land in the north of Shaanxi to Xia as compensation for Tiande, Yunnei and other places. From September of the second year of Zhengde to July of the following year, Qianshun sent troops to capture the border army of Song Ding (now Wuqijing, Shaanxi) and Dejingqi (now Yulin, Shaanxi). In July of the second year of Dade (1136), he captured Xining Prefecture (now Xining, Qinghai). In September of the third year, Qianshun sent an envoy to Jin with a heavy amount of money, requesting that the prefectures outside the Xi and Qin rivers return to Xia, and Jin Yun ceded the three prefectures of Lezhou (now Ledu, Qinghai), Jishi Prefecture (now Qinghai Guide), and Kuozhou (now Qinghai Hualongjing) to Xia. At this point, Qianshun obtained the land of the Huangshui Valley, and the Xia Kingdom formed an unprecedentedly vast territory.

Throughout the life of the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun, he can be regarded as a Ming monarch. Under the rule of Li Qianshun, the state of Western Xia was strong, the politics were clear, the national contradictions were eased, the social economy was well developed, and the Western Xia entered a prosperous era.

In the battle of Song Liao and the battle of Song and Jin, both sides curry favor, both sides do not offend, and the left and right sides are the source, and they take advantage of it.

It's a pity that with the Northern Expedition of the Song Army, the Jin Army was defeated, and Western Xia also fell into a crisis. During the battle of Song and Jin, the Western Xia took advantage of the fire to rob and occupy thousands of miles of land in the Song Dynasty.

At this moment, only by calming the anger of the Song Dynasty can we maintain stability, otherwise we will not be able to stop the Song Dynasty.

In that year, during the period of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the Song army that fought five scum still defeated the Western Xia army; At this moment, the Song army is militarily strong and has reached its peak, and it seems that it only takes one finger to destroy Western Xia!

"Everyone, now the battle of Song and Jin has come to a hard time. The Jin army was defeated and retreated to the outside of the fortress, what should I do? At the court meeting, Li Qianshun asked.

He is old, he is already half cut into the ground, he originally wanted to live his life in peace, who would have thought that the emperor of the Song Dynasty could toss like that, and he couldn't get peace if he wanted it, one is not good, it is a big trouble!

"Your Majesty, the only way to send an envoy to congratulate the Song Dynasty and test the intentions of the Song Dynasty emperor!" At this time, one of the courtiers stood up and said; "But, Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Although the Song Dynasty drove out the Jin State and won a great victory, it also suffered heavy losses, and within five years, it was unable to send troops! (To be continued......)
