…

At the beginning, when the Western Xia Dynasty destroyed the Western Song Dynasty, it sent troops to attack Xi'an Prefecture of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Ren Dejing did not put up any resistance, and directly opened the city and surrendered to Western Xia.

Not long ago, Ren Dejing dedicated his fifteen-year-old daughter Ren to fifty-three-year-old Li Qianshun, and Ren was named Ren's concubine.

Concubine Ren is young and beautiful, knowledgeable, and understanding, and as soon as she entered Li Qianshun's harem, she was deeply liked by Li Qianshun.

During the Jin Annihilation of Liao, Li Renai, the prince of Western Xia, was very sympathetic to what happened to his grandfather Yelu Yanxi.

When Yelu Yanxi fled westward, Li Renai wept when he heard the news and asked his father, Li Qianshun, to send troops to help.

The reinforcements sent by the Western Xia were later defeated by the Jin army at Yishui, and Li Renai sighed for months.

Later, when he learned that Li Qianshun had decided to surrender to the Jin State, Li Renai tried his best to admonish him.

However, Li Qianshun, who had already clearly seen that Liao was bound to die at the hands of the Qianjin and Jin countries, saw that the general trend of the Liao State had gone, and after weighing the pros and cons, he did not listen.

Soon after, Li Renai heard that Yelu Yanxi had been captured by the Qianjun army, and that Yelu Yanxi and the royal family and clan of the Liao State had been escorted to the capital of the Daqian Dynasty, and died of depression at the age of seventeen.

In the same month, Yelu Nanxian was saddened by the untimely death of his beloved son, pained by the destruction of the motherland, and angry by Li Qianshun's ruthlessness, so he died of hunger strike.

Although from the perspective of the general trend of the world, Li Qianshun's choice is not wrong, Yelu Nanxian and Li Renai's mother and son are pure, dedicated to the Liao State, not for the Western Xia, and even a little unreasonable.

But if there was no Yelu Yanxi to help, Li Qianshun would not have been able to regain the imperial power from his mother, after Yelu Nanxian married Li Qianshun, although the two were political marriages, Yelu Nanxian and Li Qianshun were very affectionate, and Li Qianshun's other concubines also got along well, which is rare among princesses.

And Li Renai's mother Yelu Nan Xiangui is the queen and has the support of the Liao State, so Li Renai's crown prince status is very stable, and he spent a very happy childhood and adolescence, and under the careful education of his parents, he grew into a prince with excellent moral character.

It can be said that if it weren't for the sudden change in the international situation, Yelu Nanxian would be the princess of Liao, and Yelu Nanxian showed a strong patriotism for his hometown, Li Renai was nurtured by his mother Yelu Nanxian for many years, and had a very deep family affection for Yelu Nanxian's homeland, Liao, but Li Qianshun knew that he could not do anything, and out of various considerations, he finally abandoned Liao and invested in gold, resulting in Yelu Nanxian and Li Renai's mother and son dying of grief, Li Qianshun, Yelu Nanxian, and Li Renai will definitely be a very happy family.

But creation makes people!

After the death of Yelu Nanxian and Li Renai's mother and son, Li Qianshun, who lost his beloved wife and beloved son and blamed himself a little, has been depressed, and has not been a queen for more than ten years, and even lost his interest in women.

During this period, Li Qianshun's body deteriorated year by year, and gradually became an old man who was about to die.

Until the appearance of Concubine Ren, Li Qianshun was like a dead tree in spring, and took some time out every day to talk with Concubine Ren, who had an elegant temperament and a touching temperament.

In Li Qianshun's harem, there is also a concubine Cao, Cao's age is not very old, just over thirty years old, thirteen years ago Cao has given birth to Li Qianshun prince Li Renxiao (that is, Xia Renzong in history).

Concubine Ren, who had just entered the palace, had a very good time with the Cao family.

This made Li Qianshun like Concubine Ren even more.

The hero is sad to pass the beauty level.

In front of Concubine Ren, a woman who made Li Qianshun fall in love with her bones, Li Qianshun, who was scheming, steady and sophisticated, and clean and self-conscious, inevitably fell under Concubine Ren's pomegranate skirt.

Ren Dejing is a person who is used to camping in officialdom. As soon as he saw that Li Qianshun liked his daughter, he began to run around, bribing the nobles of the Western Xia Dynasty and the rulers of the clan with a lot of money, wanting his daughter to become the queen.

At the beginning, among the people who surrendered to Western Xia almost one after another with Ren Dejing, there were two people who had to be mentioned.

These two people are Du Chong and Liu Yu.

The former, when he offered Zhao Gou a plan to open the Yellow River embankment, so that the Yellow River water from Surabaya into the Huai, in an attempt to block the cadres behind him, resulting in the local people being drowned more than 200,000, due to displacement and plague caused by several times the death, the Zhao and Song dynasties during the most rich and prosperous Lianghuai region was destroyed, nearly 10 million people were homeless, reduced to refugees, and what is more troublesome is that this matter brought a decade to the Daqian Dynasty has not been able to completely deal with the trouble - that is, the Yellow River often floods.

After that, Du Chong, who had no way out, fought against the Daqian Dynasty everywhere, and participated in almost all the major battles of the Daqian Dynasty to destroy the Western Song Dynasty, which can be said to be repeatedly defeated.

After the Western Song Dynasty had no hope, Du Chong knew very clearly that if he was caught by the cadres, he would definitely not end well, and Li Cun, who hated him to the bone, would also cut him into a skeleton.

Therefore, Du Chong resolutely led tens of thousands of remnants of the Zhao and Song dynasties to surrender to Western Xia.

Seeing that Du Chong brought so many men and horses, and learned that Du Chong's digging of the Yellow River had caused huge trouble to the Daqian Dynasty, and that he was a "loyal minister" of the Zhao and Song dynasties, Li Qianshun felt that he had picked up a treasure and immediately reused Du Chong, not only let Du Chong continue to command the tens of thousands of horses he brought, but also let Du Chong serve as the general of the Zuoxiang Chaoshun Army of the 19th Supervisory Army Division of Western Xia.

-- The garrison of the Supervision Army Division is the largest number of the Western Xia army, and it is also the main force of the Western Xia army, and it is the national defense force of the Western Xia. Before Li Yuanhao became emperor, he placed the 12 supervising military divisions, and the right of the commission was divided into subordinates, and at that time, the garrison of the supervising military divisions in Western Xia already had more than 500,000 horses. After Xia Yizong Li Liangzuo succeeded to the throne, he placed the Xiangqing Military Supervision Division and Zhongzhai and Tiandu Second Supervision and Military Division in Xiping Mansion, and during the reign of Li Qianshun, there were already eighteen supervision and military divisions in Western Xia. Now, the Left Wing Chaoshun Army has been added. In Western Xia, there were 19 military supervision divisions alone, with a total strength of more than 800,000.

The key point is that in the early days of the founding of the Western Xia Dynasty, there were frequent wars with the Song Dynasty, and the tribal conscription was insufficient, so the scope and number of conscription were expanded, and even the whole people were recruited. Before the battle of Yongle in the Song and Xia dynasties, the Western Xia mobilized the people as soldiers, "nine out of ten". According to the "Longping Collection: The Biography of the Western Xia", "all those under the age of 60 and over the age of 15 must bring their own bows and arrows and armor", that is to say, in addition to the few military equipment issued by the government, the soldiers participating in the Western Xia will bring their own horses, weapons and food when fighting.

Therefore, don't look at the small land area of the Western Xia, and the population is only more than three million, but its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, especially after it took advantage of the war between the two countries of the Qian and Song dynasties, the Western Xia annexed a lot of territory of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and the remnants of the defeated generals and population.

Du Chong is very clear about this.

Therefore, Du Chong will serve the Western Xia with all his heart, trying to continue his glory and wealth in the Western Xia.

The situation is similar to that of Du Chong, as well as Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was born in a farming family, lacked education and virtue since childhood, and once stole a classmate's platinum bowl and yarn clothes.

During the Yuan Fu period, Liu Yu was admitted to the Jinshi.

In the second year of Zhenghe, Liu Yu was appointed as the palace attendant.

Soon, Liu Yu was attacked by the officials with the dirty things he had done.

Zhao Ji didn't want to expose Liu Yu's ugly deeds in the past, so he issued an edict not to pursue it, and saved Liu Yu's career.

——But Liu Yu in history was not only ungrateful, but also established a pseudo-Qi with the support of the Jin people to oppose the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty everywhere, and sent his son Liu Lin, nephew Liu Yi and the rebel generals of the Song Dynasty Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou and others to cooperate with the Jin army to invade the Southern Song Dynasty, capture Xiangyang and other places, and also cut down the Song Tomb, which is a typical example of revenge.

In the sixth year of Xuanhe, Liu Yu was sentenced to Guozijian and sentenced to Hebei.

When the Great Dry attacked the Song Dynasty, Liu Yu abandoned his official position and went to Yizhen to avoid chaos.

After the Great Qian Dynasty conquered the Central Plains, Liu Yu wanted to join the Great Qian Dynasty.

Coincidentally, Liu Yu became friends with Li Cun's favorite minister Zhang Yu.

Therefore, Zhang Yu recommended Liu Yu to be an official in the Daqian Dynasty.

At that time, Zhang Wei and Zhao Kai were issuing real banknotes for Li Cun, which was the most important time for Li Cun.

Li Cun couldn't refute Zhang Yu's face, and thought that if Liu Yu didn't deal with it, he might poke out some big Lou in the future, so he ordered Liu Yu to go to Xining Prefecture, which was newly recovered by the Daqian Dynasty, to be a governor.

In fact, Li Cun deliberately sent Liu Yu to a difficult place to force Liu Yu to rebel.

Li Cun also specially issued a secret decree to Liu Qi, once Liu Yu rebelled and defected to Xia, he would immediately kill Liu Yumanmen.

At that time, the cadres had just entered Shaanxi, the northwest region was full of soldiers, bandits and thieves, and the people in the northwest were extremely tough and difficult to govern.

Of course Li Cun didn't.

Liu Yu had no choice but to take office angrily.

Soon after Liu Yu took office, he caught up with Li Qianshun and sent a large army to attack Xining Prefecture when Liu Qi suppressed the remnants of the Western Song Dynasty led by Du Chong.

Liu Yu sent his son Liu Lin to fight, but he was defeated, and the Xia army surrounded Xining Prefecture.

And because the generals left by Liu Qi to sit on Xihe Road fell for the plan of the Xixia people to divert the tiger from the mountain, they failed to immediately rescue Xining Prefecture.

The Tangut people took the opportunity to send people to persuade Liu Yu.

Liu Yu remembered his previous resentment, so he led the people to summer.

When the people did not comply, Liu Yu surrendered the city privately.

Li Qianshun especially wanted to set up a model at that time, so he appointed Liu Yu as the prefect of Xiping Prefecture.

may be born to be the same kind of people and have similar backgrounds, as soon as Du Chong and Liu Yu voted for Western Xia, they got together with Ren Dejing.

The three traitors smell like each other, and even have a little sympathy for each other.

Therefore, when Ren Dejing worked hard, bribed the nobles of the Western Xia Dynasty and the rulers of the clan with a lot of money, and wanted to make his daughter the queen, Du Chong and Liu Yu also helped.

Of course, this is also because Du Chong and Liu Yu actually saw that Li Qianshun really liked Concubine Ren, so they took advantage of the situation.

With the efforts of Ren Dejing, Du Chong, Liu Yu and others, it didn't take long for the imperial historian to make a statement to Li Qianshun, saying that no one in the harem could match Concubine Ren regardless of family background, talent and morality, and asked Li Qianshun to make Concubine Ren the queen.

Then, more and more Western Xia ministers made suggestions to Li Qianshun and asked Li Qianshun to make him the queen.

The speeches of the ministers of Western Xia spoke to Li Qianshun's heart, which made Li Qianshun extremely moved.

Li Qianshun asked the ministers for their opinions, and the ministers were all kind words of Concubine Ren.

As a result, Concubine Ren entered Li Qianshun's harem only four months ago, and was named the queen by Li Qianshun.

Ren Dejing was gradually reused because of his status as a relative, and Du Chong and Liu Yu also rose with the tide, and the power of the three began to grow savagely in Western Xia.

The life of glory and wealth, the status of ten thousand people under one person, the emperor's love, and the harmony of the harem sisters, Empress Ren seems to live a life that is the envy of women all over the world. If she has another child, Queen Ren will definitely be very happy. If it is a son, with the identity of the eldest son, as well as Ren Dejing's planning in the court, and the help of Du Chong, Liu Yu and others, it is possible for his son to become the emperor of Western Xia.

However, not long after the queen became the queen (only nine months), I don't know whether it was because Li Qianshun was not blessed to accept the beauty of the queen, or because Li Qianshun was too worried about the increasingly severe international situation, so that Li Qianshun, who was already in very bad health, suddenly fell ill.

Before he fell ill, Li Qianshun had been planning how to take advantage of the Great Qian's Dynasty's invasion of Jin and Goryeo, and take advantage of the fire to seize the Xi and Qinhe Prefectures (that is, the Huangshui Valley) that were already under the control of the Daqian Dynasty, so that the Western Xia formed an unprecedentedly vast territory and had greater strategic space for advance and retreat.

For this reason, Li Qianshun sent an envoy to the Jin State with a large amount of money and his own letter, hoping to persuade the high-ranking officials of the Jin State not to delay the army of the Zhongda Qian Dynasty.

Li Qianshun said in the imperial pen: After the Daqian Dynasty destroyed the Goryeo Dynasty, it will definitely turn around and continue to attack and destroy the Jin State, it is better to strike first, taking advantage of the fact that a large number of cadres and troops were dragged in Goryeo, the Western Xia was willing to raise troops with the Jin State, and the Jin State took this opportunity to recapture the Tokyo Road of the Jin State, the vassal state of the Goryeo Dynasty and the Liaoxi Corridor, and the Western Xia attacked the states outside the Xi and Qin rivers to respond to the Jin State......

Li Qianshun also said that the Western Xia did not want anything else, but only wanted the future, when the Great Qian Dynasty was forced to negotiate peace, the Jin State could help the Western Xia to fight for the Huangshui Valley.

It has to be said that although Li Qianshun fell under the pomegranate skirt of Empress Ren, he was not completely confused, and he also knew very well that even with the strength of the Western Xia plus the Jin Kingdom and the Goryeo Dynasty plus the grassland tribes, it was impossible to defeat the Daqian Dynasty, which was already too powerful, so Li Qianshun still wanted to force peace with war, and in the process to win some tangible benefits for the Western Xia.

But what Li Qianshun never expected was that the envoy he sent out was coincidentally caught by the rangers sent by Su Dong, and the heavy money carried by the Xia envoy and Li Qianshun's handwritten letter all fell into Su Dong's hands.

Su Dong hurriedly sent people to hurry up and send the Xia envoy and the heavy money carried by the Xia envoy and Li Qianshun's handwritten letter to the Beijing division as soon as possible to present it to Li Cun.

After Li Cun read it, he sent someone to Western Xia with a Xia envoy and a rubbish of Li Qianshun's handwritten letter to ask Li Qianshun if he was looking for death? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu immediately sent a large army to destroy you Western Xia?

Of course, the envoys of the Daqian Dynasty would definitely not say it so simply and straightforwardly, but the meaning must be in place.

Li Qianshun was frightened by the words of the envoys of the Great Qian Dynasty.

You must know that Li Qianshun's plan all along has been that the Jin State and the Daqian Dynasty will fight head-on, and the Western Xia will assist and contain it, so as not to let the Daqian Dynasty successfully kill the Jin State, and let the Western Xia face the powerful and aggressive Daqian Dynasty alone, and fish in troubled waters by the way to get some benefits.

In other words, the powerful Jin State was not the opponent of the Great Qian Dynasty, and the Western Xia was even worse, so if the Great Qian Dynasty gave up attacking the Jin State and attacked the Western Xia instead, then for the Western Xia, it might be a disaster!

Li Qianshun, whose body had already run out of oil, was so intimidated by the envoys of the Daqian Dynasty that his condition immediately worsened.

Within two days, Li Qianshun died.

And this year, Empress Ren was only sixteen years old. At the same age, she became a widow and had no children.

At this time, Queen Ren looked very pitiful......

A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day.

After sending off the envoys of the Daqian Dynasty, the ministers of Western Xia supported the crown prince Li Renxiao to ascend the throne.

A few months later, Li Renxiao honored his mother, the little widow Empress, as the empress dowager, and his biological mother, Concubine Cao Xian, as the mother of the country.

At this moment of sudden change in the international situation, the Western Xia lost the old emperor Li Qianshun, who had rich ruling experience, and replaced it with Li Renxiao, who was only 14 years old, as the emperor to take charge of the giant ship of the Western Xia, which was swaying in a storm......
