After conquering the Liao state, the Jin state inherited almost all of its inheritance, including several of its neighbors. The states established on the Korean Peninsula were almost always subservient to the Central Plains dynasties, with Goryeo first subjugating to the Liao and then naturally to the Liao's successor, the Jin State; Although the Western Xia Kingdom also had a certain military strength, it could only bow down in the face of the aggressive Jin State Iron Cavalry in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China; Although the Uighurs did not share a border with the Jin state, the Uighurs' national strength and military strength may have been relatively low among the East Asian countries at that time, so the Uighurs also followed the historical trend and regularly sent envoys to the superpower Jin every year in the hope of obtaining the protection of the Jin state.

Therefore, among the neighbors of the Jin State, there should be three people who really refuse to listen to the words of the Jin State, the first is the sworn enemy of the Southern Song Dynasty, the second is the Western Liao State established by Yelu Dashi, the fish that slipped through the net of the Liao State, and the third is strictly a group of nomadic tribes in the north......

After another ten years of confrontation with the Song and Jin Dynasty after the Jingkang Rebellion, the Great Song Dynasty, under the leadership of Zhao Er, took advantage of the chaotic situation caused by the Jin invasion to quickly clean up the dissidents in the imperial court in the name of punishing the surrender faction, and adjusted and reduced the central and local officials, so that the politics were cleared, and the blood exchange was completed, and the influence of the former emperor was removed. At the same time, he also used the army he had cultivated for many years to replace the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, and eliminated the local armed forces in the name of eliminating bandits. In this way, the military and political power was grasped in his hands, and the transfer of power was completed under abnormal circumstances.

After seizing power, Zhao Er introduced a series of policies to encourage production and commerce. A new financial system and development model have been established to restore the economy to its best level in history at the fastest pace. With a strong economic foundation, it was possible for him to rebuild a strong armed force, and he used the new army to win a series of battles with the Jin in the ensuing series of battles, recovering the Youyun region that had been a foreign race since the Tang Dynasty, and regaining control of the Central Plains. These exploits brought his prestige to an unprecedented height, and the Great Song Dynasty achieved Zhongxing, which also made its foundation more solid.

In terms of foreign relations, Zhao Er relied on his strong military and economic strength, and first achieved peace with the Western Xia by means of economy and marriage, making it his right-hand man; In a dozen strokes, Dali was accepted as a younger brother, and Da Song not only had a stable back garden. It also extends its potential to South Asia; Goryeo has always been an admirer of the Central Plains culture. After this battle to aid Gao, he must have become a loyal lackey of the Great Song Dynasty, and inserted a knife in the backyard of the Jin Kingdom.

With this 'evil neighbor' by his side, it has made it difficult for Wushu to sleep, and there is still a group of unstable elements in the inheritance of the Liao State inherited by the Jin State. That is, the nomads of the north and south of the desert.

The first to dominate the steppe were the Huns. They controlled it for almost three hundred years. During this period, it constantly harassed the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty; In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu gradually weakened, and another overlord on the grassland, Xianbei, was born. Achieved the dominance of the northern grasslands, this one is even more powerful, not only ruled the desert for nearly four hundred years, but also once entered the Central Plains to establish the Northern Wei Dynasty; After entering the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the master of the grassland was replaced by Rouran, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was occupied by the Turks and Hui.

Although the rulers of the steppe have changed one after another, and have lived there for thousands of years, their way of life and production are roughly the same, and their traditions are similar. He still lives a life of grazing cattle everywhere without a fixed place, where there is water and grass, he will set up tents and settle down, and then change places to graze and live when he is over. Militarily, it is mainly cavalry, fighting guerrilla warfare, robbing if you have fought it, running away if you can't beat it, the grassland is big, you can chase it if you have the ability.

Because the climatic conditions of the area in which the nomads live are relatively harsh, which is not conducive to the development of agriculture and other industries, the only feasible industry for them is the development of animal husbandry. But just by raising a few thousand pigs, cows, sheep, and horses, where can hundreds of thousands of tribesmen be able to feed hundreds of thousands of tribal members, if the wind and rain are not good in any year, a large number of livestock will die, and the nomads who are struggling to survive will consciously turn their attention to their rich neighbors to the south. Warriors on horseback made a casual disturbance on the dividing line between nomadism and agriculture for thousands of miles, plundering some livestock and grain, and it became a common practice for the nomads to return to spend the winter.

In the past thousand years, except for Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who had successfully defeated these bandits and terrorists, the other rulers were at a loss for them, and most of the time the method adopted was to calm down the people, give them some money and goods, so that they would not have to cause trouble.

This kind of Jingsui policy was not changed until the period when the Liao State ruled the north, and there was no longer a martial arts overlord who dominated the rivers and lakes on the grassland, but presented a warm scene of a group of heroes competing for hegemony and a hundred flowers blooming, and this was exactly the situation that the rulers of the Liao State wanted to see very much. However, during the last years of Liao's rule in the north, the steppe nomads who had lost control gradually became stronger through mutual integration and annexation.

At first, the Jurchens, who were in full swing, relied on their powerful cavalry and semi-nomadic bloodline to bring them to their knees through war and killing. But the good times did not last long, as the Jin State turned its attention to the more prosperous Great Song Dynasty, the military center of gravity shifted, and in the next ten years, the Jin State was defeated again and again in the war, and its control over the grassland peoples in the northwest declined.

Now Wushu has learned that the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia coalition have divided their troops to the west to conquer Gaochang, and in his eyes, the Great Song Dynasty is actually showing its strong armed strength, in order to subdue the nomads in the south and north of the desert, challenge the status of the Western Liao in the Western Regions, and defeat Gaochang is just a hand-holding. And Gao Chang also called Jin a minister, and Wushu also wanted to be an international warrior, but where did Jin have the strength to confront the Song and Xia coalition forces now, all he could do was to pray for them silently.

But now there is a precedent for the Song Dynasty to aid Goryeo, but the Jin State sits idly by and ignores its subjects when they are in danger, and treats the covenant like toilet paper, which will definitely leave an extremely bad image on the world. And the Song Dynasty had a precedent for rescuing the Mengwu tribe before, which had made the Great Song Dynasty have a good reputation among the northern and southern parts of the desert, regarded as friends and brothers who could be relied on, and privately regarded as the boss, but I was afraid that after this expedition, I don't know how many tribes in the Song Dynasty would embark on the road of defecting to the Song and rebelling against Jin, and the end would be that the Jin State would lose control over a large area of territory in the northwest grassland......

Although the situation at home and abroad has shown an unfavorable situation in the Jin country, but the bloody and bloody reform of the ruling class of the Jin country has finally settled down in the bloody storm that lasted for several years, and basically achieved complete success, the feudal etiquette system began to improve day by day, and the Jin country has embarked on the broad road of feudalism, everyone thought that the world could be peaceful, under the leadership of the new emperor, the Jin State once again went to the road of prosperity and strength, and it became another generation of Ming monarchs after the Jin country after Aguta and Wu Qimai.

Ke Wushu soon found that this was too naïve, and the strings of class struggle could never be loosened, and he was keenly aware that the signs of 'party struggle' were also inevitably occurring within the Jin State, and the cause was the problem of the emperor's heirs.

The royal family of the Jin Kingdom has always had a tradition of marrying with the major Jurchen tribes, Pei Manbu is a larger tribe among the Jurchens, since the Aguta period, Pei Manbu has begun to often intermarry with the royal family members of the Wanyan Department, and even one of the queens of Aguta, Empress Guangyi, is also from Pei Manbu. After Yan Kang ascended the throne, in order to enrich the harem and draft the girl, Pei Man's family was famous for his father Pei Manda's loyalty. When Jin Taizu Agu raised the army, Pei Manda actively participated in the first soldier and bravely killed the enemy and made war exploits. She was summoned to the palace and was named a noble concubine. In December of the same year, she was canonized as empress.

Soon after Wan Yan Kang ascended the throne, due to a large number of imperial uncles in the court, "You sing and I will take the stage", they took turns to control the military and political power of the Jin State, which made Wan Yan Kang, a young son of heaven, feel very depressed for a while. As Wan Yan Kang's wife and Empress of Jin Guo, Pei Man's family should have given Wan Yan a lot of comfort and help in the past few years, and her stomach is also very competitive Last year, she gave birth to her eldest son, so that Wan Yan Kang, who had been the emperor for seven years, finally became a father.

Solved the problem of succession for the emperor. Of course, the queen who made a 'great achievement' was treated very highly, and the prince Peiman Huda was crowned king and received a large number of rewards, and the glory of her and her family reached a peak at the moment of the birth of her eldest son. But within a few days of being happy, they experienced the pain of losing their son again, and the emperor sank in pain, but the empress Pei Manshi rose up in it.

After escaping from Goryeo, Wushu found that there were many new faces in the court, and after asking, she learned that Empress Lu Dao took advantage of the emperor's madness to ignore political affairs and began to meddle in the government when she went out to fight, arranged family members on a large scale, replaced her cronies, and even wanted to influence the choice of prime minister, and what she relied on was the Hanchens appointed by Wanyan Kang, and Wushu itself had the possibility of being overlooked, and the Jurchens were in danger of being ruled by the Han people.

The change in the political situation made Wushu feel that a crisis was coming, and he also knew that if he wanted to reorganize the dynasty and regain control of power, he would inevitably set off another bloody storm, but at this time, the hostile situation inside and outside Jin was eyeing each other, and once they took advantage of Jin's internal strife to make trouble, they would send Dajin to the point of no return. In order to avoid such a tragedy, he first had to end the war with Song, and although he also knew that a piece of peace could not guarantee eternal peace for Song and Jin, he was in need of a peace that might be short-lived

The reason that 'the outside must be safe', which has been used by many people in the Dao, has now become a psychological comfort for the vulture to make peace, and he decided to agree to the prerequisite for the Great Song Dynasty to agree to the peace - return Zhao Huan! (To be continued......)
