With the fall of Juyong Pass, the Inner Great Wall became an ornament in front of the Mongol army in Arutai, and it was not until Arutai waved his army to Juyong Pass, and Zhou Zheng, who was sitting in Xuanfu City, realized that the shape was not good, and hurriedly sent scouts to investigate.

At the same time, the Guanxi Seven Guards set up an ambush in Fangshan, west of the Beijing Division, and ambushed the 30,000 Ming troops who rushed from Bauhinia Pass to reinforce the Beijing Division.

Zhou Zheng was shocked when he learned that the Guanxi Seven Guards secretly entered Beizhili from the Fallen Horse Pass, and took the Juyong Pass with the people of Arutai in the north and south.

Although he felt anxious in his heart, Zhou Zheng did not mess up, and in the face of the generals who were eager to fight, he did not rashly order an increase in troops to Juyong Pass, and it was obvious that the most desired thing for the Mongolian army was that the Ming army would leave the city, and then fight a decisive battle with the Ming army in the field, he suspected that the Mongolian army had laid a trap and waited for the Ming army to drill.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhou Zheng made an astonishing decision, sending 10,000 of his most elite Xiaowu army to attack the Douma Pass, which was controlled by the Mongol soldiers, and preparing to cut off the retreat route of the Mongol army from the Tuoma Pass.

As for the Beijing division besieged by the Mongol army, Zhou Zheng thought that Zhang Fu should be the first to transfer troops from Juyong Pass to guard the Beijing division, otherwise Juyong Pass would not be conquered by the Mongol army so quickly, with the tall and thick city walls of the Beijing division, coupled with Zhang Fu's dispatch and the Franco cannons and arquebuses in the Jiangwutang warehouse, it was not easy for the Mongol army to take the capital.

It is particularly important that as long as Zhou Zheng's army still exists, then the Mongol army will not attack the Beijing division with impunity, so the most important thing now is to preserve strength, wait and see how things change, and do not act rashly.

Zhou Zheng knew that the Ming generals of Wanquan Dusi would definitely be in a hurry after Juyong Pass was breached, so he sent people to send official documents to the guards of Baoan City, Huailai City and Bauhinia Pass, asking them to defend the city and not attack without his military order, otherwise military law would be engaged.

There were originally 50,000 defenders of Bauhinia Pass, but 30,000 were surrounded and annihilated by the Mongol army, and Zhou Zheng specially transferred 20,000 horses from Xuanfu City to strengthen the defense of Bauhinia Pass.

For Zhou Zheng, the role of Bauhinia Pass is extremely important now, and it is the closest passage connecting the Ming Army of Wanquan and Beizhili.

At the same time, Zhou Zhengtong Guò Bauhinia Pass issued an order to the Shanxi Prefecture, Henan Prefecture, and Shandong Prefecture to not rush to the capital to rescue, but to organize defenses on the spot and close the passes to prevent the Mongol army from advancing south or west.

Zhou Zheng did this as a last resort, and the troops of the Shanxi Metropolitan Division, the Henan Metropolitan Division, and the Shandong Metropolitan Division were transferred to seventy-seven eighty-eight, and many of the remaining people were old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were unable to rescue the capital at all.

A lot of the troops of Nanzhili were also withdrawn, and in addition to the important position of Nanjing, Zhou Zheng could only transfer troops from the southern capitals such as Huguang Metropolitan Division, Zhejiang Metropolitan Division, Sichuan Metropolitan Division, Fujian Metropolitan Division, and Jiangxi Metropolitan Division, and assemble in Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi.

For a time, except for the eastern, southwestern, and northwest regions of Liaodong, the troops in the rest of the Ming Dynasty were mobilized and rushed to the Beijing Division.

However, Zhou Zheng did not have much hope for these reinforcements, the Southern Guard of the Ming Dynasty had lived comfortably over the years, the training was lax, and the combat effectiveness was not as good as the soldiers of the Northern Guard, how could he fight with the Mongols?

Therefore, the symbolic significance of those soldiers from the southern guard station rushing to Beijing is greater than the practical significance, which can cause a certain deterrent to the Mongol army, and the most important thing is to stick to Shandong, Henan and Shanxi, and surround the Mongol army, so that they cannot go south or west, so as to avoid more places in the Ming Dynasty being affected by the flames of war.

To Zhou Zheng's disappointment, the defender of Huailai City, which was closest to Juyong Pass, was shocked to order the 70,000 Ming troops in the city to attack Juyong Pass, wanting to recapture the gateway to the north of the Beijing Division, but was defeated by the Mongol army in front of Juyong Pass, and Huailai City also fell into the hands of the Mongol army.

Arutai was also disappointed, there were 100,000 Ming troops in Xuanfu City, which was the most elite unit of the Ming army in Wanquan Dusi, and what he wanted to eliminate the most was the Ming army in Xuanfu City, so he had already set up pockets and waited for Zhou Zheng to lead the army to aid the capital, but the Ming army in Xuanfu City did not move.

In addition, the defenders of Baoan City did not act rashly, which made Arutai's desire to take the opportunity to destroy the Wanquan Dusi Ming army come to naught.

Arutai naturally wanted to capture the Ming Dynasty's Jingshi, but the high walls of Beijing and Zhou Zheng were eyeing Wanquandusi made it impossible for him to attack the Jingshi with peace of mind.

What made Arutai particularly helpless was that the men and horses of the Guanxi Seven Guards had become uncontrollable since they besieged and annihilated the 30,000 reinforcements at Bauhinia Pass, and they were looting in Shuntianfu, fighting for property and women everywhere, making Shuntianfu smoky and miasma, chickens and dogs jumping.

After all, the Western Regions is a desolate and bitter cold land compared to Beizhili, and now the Mongolian soldiers of the Seven Guards of Kansai have seen the Huahua World of Beizhili, and they will naturally compete for the spoils.

As a result, the forces available to Arutai were much reduced, and he was helpless against the actions of the Kansai Seven Guards.

The relationship between the Kansai Seven Guards and the Tatars and Warats was different, with the Tatars and Warats belonging to the people of the Great Yuan Empire, while the Kansai Seven Guards belonged to the people of the Chagatai Khanate.

The Mongol Empire founded by Genghis Khan consisted of the Great Yuan Empire and the Four Great Khanates, of which the four khanates were suzerain, so the Great Yuan Empire was also known as the Great Khan Khanate.

After the Mongol conquest, the Kipchak Khanate, the Chagatai Khanate, the Ögedai Khanate, and the Ilkhanate were established in the conquered regions, known as the "Four Great Khanates".

The rulers of the four khanates are all from Genghis Khan's "golden family" in blood, and they are related to each other by blood, so they are the same as the suzerainty of the Great Yuan Empire, which is in charge of the Central Plains, and is connected with the Yuan Dynasty.

Although the four khanates were nominally a unified whole under the suzerainty of the Great Yuan Empire, they were in fact unsubordinate to each other, did not form a unified state, and did not exercise any unified administration.

Therefore, the territory of the Great Yuan Empire was actually in East Asia, and the empire formed by the descendants of Genghis Khan across the Eurasian continent was the Mongol Empire, which included the Great Yuan Empire and the four khanates.

Before 1259, there was no Great Yuan Empire, when Genghis Khan established the Mongol Empire, the Ilkhanate had not yet been established, and the only vassal states of the Mongol Empire were the Kipchak Khanate, the Chagatai Khanate and the Ogedai Khanate, and Möngke was the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.

Möngke Khan died in 1259 during an attack on the Diaoyu Mountains in Hezhou in Sichuan, and his brother Kublai Khan and Ali Buge began to compete for the throne.

When Kublai Khan learned of Möngke's death, he fought against the Southern Song Dynasty in the Ezhou area, and when he heard that Ali Buge, who had stayed in Mongolia proper, was preparing to assemble to claim Khan, he immediately negotiated peace with the Southern Song Dynasty and returned north to Kaiping (Duolun County, Inner Mongolia), and in May 1260, with the support of the Mongol kings led by the king of the host province, Tachar, and the Confucian ministers of the Han Chinese, he preemptively assembled to claim Khan.

After hearing the news, Ali Buge, with the support of the kings of Asutai, Yulong Tashi, Haidu and other kings, held the "Kuriltai" conference in the then capital of the Mongol Empire in Hala Holin, that is, the Great Khan.

Because Kublai Khan lived in the Central Plains for a long time, appointed Han people, implemented Han law, changed the nomadic tradition of the Mongols, and caused dissatisfaction among many Mongolian princes and nobles, most of the kings of the Western Dao supported Ali Buge at that time.

In order to win the support of the suzerain's forces, Kublai Khan acquiesced in the legitimate right of the queen of Jochi, the queen of Jochi, the queen of Chagatai, Aruhu, Bara, and the sixth brother Hülegü to rule their respective fiefdoms.

Kublai Khan and Ali Buge then started a four-year civil war, until Ali Buge was defeated and surrendered in 1264, and Kublai Khan then moved the capital to Dadu (Beijing), all of which were accompanied by the capital.

Because Kublai Khan's advocacy of "practicing the Han law" caused dissatisfaction among many Mongolian nobles, Kublai Khan was recognized as the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, and the three major Mongol khanates were hostile to him, and Kublai Khan's regime only included East Asia and the Mongolian Plateau, and the Mongol Empire ceased to exist.

However, at that time, the fourth brother of Kublai Khan, who was on a western expedition, supported Kublai Khan as the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, so he was named Ilkhanate by Kublai Khan, stayed in West Asia and established the Ilkhanate, and still submitted to Kublai Khan.

In the eighth year of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, in 1271 A.D., Kublai Khan promulgated the decree of the "Founding Edict", taking the meaning of "Dazai Qianyuan" in the "Book of Changes", and the official founding name was "Yuan".

This is the watershed of the Mongol regime from a world empire to the Central Plains Dynasty, the Mongol regime previously carried out a very nomadic predatory rule on the Central Plains, the Central Plains was only a part of its dependent territory, and it was only transformed into a dynasty with the Central Plains as the main body at the time of Kublai Khan, and the name of "Yuan" had not yet appeared before that, so the establishment of the "Yuan Dynasty" should be counted from this.

The Mongolian language of the Yuan Dynasty was called "Great Yuan Kingdom" or "Great Yuan Great Mongolian State", which inherited the legal system of the former Mongol Empire.

However, the monarch of the Ögedai Khanate, Haidu, remained hostile to Kublai Khan, and united with the Chagatai Khanate and the Golden Horde to form an alliance to fight against Kublai Khan's Yuan army, and for a time captured Mobei Hara and Lin.

The Golden Horde monarch Timur was originally nominated for Kublai Khan, but soon switched to supporting Haidu against Kublai Khan.

After Kublai Khan's death, Haidu and others continued to fight against Yuan Chengzong until Haidu's death in February 1301.

After the fall of the Ögedai Khanate, the remaining three khanates remained only nominally vassal of the Yuan Dynasty (the Yuan Dynasty called them the kings of the Northwest), and their actual independent status was recognized by the Yuan court.

The Yuan court retained the Golden Horde and Ilkhan's share of land in Shanxi, Henan and other places, and awarded annual gifts.

The monarch of the Ilkhanate still needed to be canonized by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to the throne, and issued the Chinese seals such as "The Treasure of the Imperial Palace", "The Treasure of the True Emperor and Shun Wanyi", as the vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty, and then several monarchs of the Golden Horde, such as Totok (King Suning) and Yuejibo, were also officially canonized by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, the leaders of the Kansai Seven Guards were not vassals of the Northern Yuan, so Arutai could not order them to act, and it was for this reason that wars often broke out between the Kansai Seven Guards and Warat in history, and the relationship with the Tatars was relatively friendly.

Originally, Arutai could easily cope with the current situation, but he never imagined that there would be a huge mistake in the battle situation in Liaodong, according to the plan, the Mongol army in Liaodong in the first half of the eighth year of Xuande would capture the entire Liaodong, and then join forces with the Wuliang Habu to attack Shanhaiguan.

At that time, the Seven Guards of Guanxi joined forces to go north after cooperating with the Northern Yuan soldiers to defeat Juyong Pass, and attacked the Ming army at Shanhaiguan with the Mongol army in Liaodong.

It is a pity that Li Yuntian disrupted the plan of the Mongolian army in Liaodong and forced the Mongolian army to shift from strategic offensive to strategic defense.

Shanhaiguan is known as "the first pass in the world", one is from the geographical location, it is the first pass in the eastern part of the Great Wall, the first pass in the www.biquge.info of the Biqu Pavilion, and then from the geographical shape shì, according to the mountains and the sea, the Xiongguan lock pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack, its pass is tightly choked, there is a mountain in the east, and the stone river of a natural barrier in the west becomes a natural trench and thus constitutes a veritable strategic place.

The ancients called it "the unparalleled key of the two capitals, the first pass of the Great Wall", which shows its importance, if it was not for Wu Sangui to lead the Qing soldiers into the customs, the Qing soldiers could not break through the Shanhaiguan at all.

In order to have a foothold in Beizhili, Arutai captured the city of Tongzhou, and began to lay out Beizhili, sent troops to attack the state capitals of Beizhili, established the Northern Yuan regime in those states and counties with great fanfare, and made every effort to recruit servant soldiers.

At the same time, Arutai people began to manufacture large-scale siege equipment and put on a posture of capturing the capital, which made the situation in the capital extremely tense, and both officials and people in the city were panicked, fearing that the city would be slaughtered by the Mongol soldiers after the city was broken.

Arutai's purpose is very simple, that is, to force Zhou Zheng to take the initiative to attack, and then eliminate the Ming army under Zhou Zheng's jurisdiction on the battlefield, if Zhou Zheng is not fooled, then he will attack the city, but to see how far Zhou Zheng can endure.
