Chapter 340: The Rise of the Mongol Ministry

"Good you ungrateful!"

Wang Xi, who had evil intentions, scolded as he drew his sword and slashed at Li Haoyi.

"Wang Dutong, Hugh is messing around!"

An Bing, who didn't want the situation to continue to expand, shouted, also drew his sword, and quickly blocked Wang Xi's sword, so the bloody scene stopped.

"Li Haoyi, you are lucky today!" Wang Xi took back the sword angrily, and did not stop there, only wanting to kill Li Haoyi to avenge Wu Xi.

An Bing proposed to the imperial court, saying that all the armies of Chuzhou (formerly Xingzhou was renamed) were under the command of the ten armies, and the military power was too great. Since Wu Lan, he has not lost the tail, and it is proposed to set up the deputy commanders of all armies, each leading five armies to divide their military power.

In late May, the deputy capital of Chuzhou was added, and Li Haoyi was appointed as the deputy commander of all armies, which aroused the resentment of Wu Xi's henchmen and Wang Xi, the commander of all armies in Chuzhou, so he accelerated the deployment of killing Li Haoyi.

In mid-June, Li Haoyi was stationed in Xihe, and Wang Xi sent his sworn friend Liu Changguo to listen to moderation, but Li Haoyi did not take precautions. Haoyi entertained with him and drank happily, Li Haoyi suddenly felt a pain in his heart and lower abdomen, and said that he wanted to go to the toilet for convenience. Liu Changguo said that he was also going, so he accompanied Li Haoyi to go to the toilet.

Yang Guangye saw that Li Haoyi had not returned to the hall for a long time, and the situation was not right, so he hurriedly went to the toilet to look for it, and found that Li Haoyi had been poisoned and died for a long time, and Liu Changguo had already fled and disappeared.

When it was time to be buried, everyone found that Li Haoyi's mouth, nose, claws, and fingers were all blue and black, and Yang Guangye began to suspect that Liu Changguo had put arsenic in the wine. The nearby residents were all wronged, mourning like personal relatives, and the army almost changed. Even though Liu Changguo was a thief, he saw Li Haoyi stabbing him with a blade in broad daylight, and he was terrified and died.

The 200 Miao soldiers and warriors sent by Yang Tongwen, the king of Miao, only participated in the assassination, not the planners and organizers, and the imperial court did not give them any rewards. Yang Tongwen is also not good to directly ask Han Yanxuan for credit, since Wu Xi was eliminated and the land of Bashu returned to calm, Han Yanxuan was also inclined to peace talks under the pressure of the main peace faction, and the matter of raising 100,000 troops in the Wuxi area was not over.

After this incident, Yang Guangyao also saw the contradictions between the central and local governments of the Song Dynasty, and raised the bar with each other, and finally understood why his father did not return to the Central Army for many years.

After the Sichuan rebellion was quelled, the time of Han Yanzhou's death also arrived, and Shi Miyuan, with the secret support of Empress Yang, stepped up the conspiracy to assassinate Han Yanzhou. In November, Han Yanxuan was kidnapped by soldiers sent by the palace marshal Xia Zhen on his way to the court, and then they killed Han Yanxuan in Yujin Garden.

After Han Yanxuan was killed, Shi Miyuan immediately sent someone to tell the news to the Jin Dynasty, and used it as a weight to sue for peace with the Jin Dynasty. And the mastermind behind the assassination of Han Yanxuan was the Empress Yang who was offended by Han Yanxuan back then, and Empress Yang falsely passed on the holy decree and received the tacit approval of Emperor Ningzong.

The Lord and the Jin Dynasty colluded with each other and conducted long-term negotiations, and finally forced the weak Song Ningzong to agree to the Jin Dynasty's request and send the head of Han Yanxuan to the Jin Dynasty for public display. A dignified prime minister, in order to recover the Central Plains, because of the obstruction of the main peace faction and traitors, the Northern Expedition failed, and ended up in a tragic end, how could it not make the main battle faction chill?

After Han Yanxuan's death, Song Ningzong said to the minister: "Isn't it a beautiful thing to recover, but it is not measurable." Han Yanxuan's Northern Expedition was completely denied by Ning Zong, and he was included in the list of traitorous ministers, on a par with Qin Hui. The Southern Song Dynasty did not have an eloquent emperor, Han Yanxuan and Zhang Jun were ruthlessly abandoned by the cowardly emperor for the sake of national unification and washing away the shame of Jingkang, and even plotted that the Southern Song Dynasty was destined to die in internal strife and peace.

In the first year of Jiading (1208), the Song and Jin Dynasty signed the Jiading Peace Agreement, and the title of the Song Dynasty Emperor and the Jin Dynasty Emperor was changed from the previous nephew to the nephew, which was more unequal and humiliating than the Longxing Peace Conference, and the terms of the peace agreement were:

1. Song and Jin are "the country of Bo (Jin) nephew (Song)".

2. The Song Dynasty lost the Golden Age Coin from 200,000 taels of silver silk to 300,000 taels and 300,000 horses, and gave another 3 million taels of gold and military money.

3. Jin returned the newly invaded land of Dasanguan and Haozhou to the Song, and the two sides maintained the original borders.

Fourth, the Song Dynasty dedicated the heads of Han Yanxuan and other people who presided over the gold cutting to Jin.

The emperor is not as good as the generation, and the orthodox dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty reversed the Jin Dynasty to seek peace, and the peace conference "is not only to pay tribute to others, but also to lose both national character and personality, which can be described as a shameful article tied for the first place in Chinese history."

An Bing was very indignant when he heard the news, and once wrote a poem to ridicule: "Since ancient times, Herong has been in power, and he has not heard of kowtowing to the side." The liver and brain of the living soul are empty, and the grandfather is wronged and hateful. Chao Cuo has been executed to the end of the traitor, and he has not sent the remaining Yan within the deadline. The temple claims to be a perfect strategy, but it is not inevitable to prevent the border. ”

When the imperial court heard this, they took An Bing's presumptuous words and degraded them to Yixiu garrison. It is said that Han Yanxuan was unjustly killed, and the great cause of resisting gold was miscarried between Zhao Kuo's vacillation, and he returned to the same place after tossing for a few years. All officials who approved of the Northern Expedition to restore the Central Plains were regarded as the Han Party, Ye Shi was deprived of his post and enshrined in the shrine for thirteen years, and Lu You was also stripped of his post on the charge of "Party and Han Reform Festival".

In the later period of Zhao Kuo's reign, the situation in the north changed dramatically, the Mongol Temujin rose, and the Jin Dynasty was invaded by Mongolia for many years, and was forced to move the capital to Bianjing. Zhao Kuo's revenge, ten years is not too late.

More than 20 years ago, when Yang Tongwen and Xin Qiji chatted on a moonlit night, they predicted that Mongolia would rise in the desert, annex the Jin Kingdom, threaten the Southern Song Dynasty, and complete the great cause of unifying China.

Yang Tongwen's youngest son, Yang Guangye, also participated in the assassination of Wu Xi, because An Bing did not mention a word about the fact that the Miao soldiers had quelled the rebellion, and the 200 Miao warriors who traveled thousands of miles into Sichuan only received a very small amount of silver taels, and they were dismissed back to Chengbu Village after Wu Xi's rebellion. Yang Juyuan, the court's Fenglang, kept Yang Guangye by his side and recommended him to be the forward commander, and Li Haoyi, the deputy commander of Chuzhou, was moderate.

Yang Guangye heard in the land of Bashu that the Jin State was forced by the pressure of the Mongol Empire's iron cavalry to conclude a peace treaty with the Southern Song Dynasty. Yang Guangye also learned that the Mongol leader Genghis Khan, known as Genghis Khan by the Mongol tribes, aimed to unify China, develop westward, and establish a large empire across Asia and Europe.

Temujin's Mongol cavalry was as fast as a mountain and was known as the "Mongol whirlwind", and the Jin State was the first stumbling block to his majestic plan to move south and west.

Why did Genghis Khan rise to prominence in the desert in such a short period of time? Yang Guangye was puzzled.

So Yang Guangye handed over the military power to his third brother Yang Guangyi, pretending to be a wandering beggar, begging all the way, and after a lot of hardships, he entered the difficult river valley.

Yang Guangye, who has a talent for languages, learned Mongolian in half a year, and after four or five years, he learned that Genghis Khan had four heroes (Borshu, Muhuali, Chilaowen, Borhu), four Yong (Jebe, Zhelemei, Subutai, Hubilai), four brothers (Hasar, Belgutai, Hechiwen, Timuge), four sons (Jochi, Chagatai, Wokotai, Torrey), four adopted sons (Kuokuo, Jiji Hutuhu, Borhu, Qu Chu), these sixteen humanities and martial arts, He was a core leader and general of the Mongol Empire, and made great achievements in the Eastern Expedition and Western Expedition.

Genghis Khan famously said: "The greatest pleasure in life is to drive out all the enemies, to rob them of all their possessions, to watch them weep and rape their wives and children".

Genghis Khan, who did not let go of any of his enemies, did not show mercy in dealing with those who resisted after attacking the city and seizing the land, and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and ordered his subordinates to swing the butcher's knife and slash at the enemy, creating a no-man's land, and putting great psychological pressure on the enemy.

In 1210, Genghis Khan officially cut off the payment of annual tribute to the Jin State, tore his face with the Jin State, and actively prepared for war.

In February 1211, Genghis Khan swore an oath at the Tilu Lianhe River and personally led his army south, and the Mengjin War began. Emperor Wanyan Yunji of the Jin State believed that he had 400,000 troops, and the Mongol cavalry was not to be feared, so he neglected the war, and even forbade the people to talk about the northern border affairs.

When nearly 100,000 Mongol horsemen swept over the ground like a violent wind, Wanyan Yunji began to make hasty arrangements, mobilizing troops to deploy defenses to the north while sending envoys to sue for peace and delay time. The main force of the Jin Kingdom began to mobilize at this time.

King Wei Shao used Pingzhang political affairs Duji Sizhong (Duji Qianjianu) and Wanyan Chengyu (Wanyan Husha) to carry out provincial affairs on the Northwest Road, and led the main force of the Jin State to Huanzhou, Changzhou, and Fuzhou (the junction of Inner Mongolia and Hebei) in the north of the central capital, and granted Xijing (now Datong) to stay in the Privy Council of Sushi Lie Zhizhong (Hu Shahu), intending to rely on the boundary trench border fort to fight a defensive war with the Mongols in the northwest and southwest of the central capital.

In October 1211, after several battles between the Mongol army and the Jin army, the Jin army was defeated and retreated. The Mongol cavalry Jebe led the vanguard army to Juyong Pass. Juyong Pass is the barrier of Zhongdu, the defense is very strong, the siege is not the specialty of the Mongol cavalry, they are stronger than the group field battle, and destroy the enemy in the movement.

Jebe pretended not to dare to attack, so he led his army to retreat on all fronts. The Jin army mistakenly thought that the Mongol army was weak and cowardly, and could eat this Mongolian cavalry in one bite, so they poured out of the nest from Juyong Pass, came out of the empty wall to pursue Jebe, and chased them all the way to Jiming Mountain in Xuande Mansion.

The Mongol army of Jebe suddenly turned back to meet the attack, and killed the Jin soldiers who came one after another, and the Jin army was defeated. The Mongol army pursued and killed in front of Juyong Pass, and the Jin army was slashed like a pile of rotten wood, which was not a level compared to the Mongol army. The Juyong Pass guard Wan Yan Fushou fled in panic, and in this way, Jebe easily took the Juyong Pass.

In 1212, Genghis Khan invaded Jin again and personally led a large army to the central capital of Jin. The Mongol army from Chang (now Guyuan) and Huan (now Inner Mongolia Zhenglanqi), along the Yanshan Mountains, the northern foot of the Dama Mountains, will cross the Yehu Ridge into the Yanghe River Valley, and enter the central capital. After fierce fighting, Genghis Khan occupied the central capital of the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin Emperor was forced to pay tribute to him.
