Chapter 19: The Tumbling Future
A few days later, Yang Kang came to Chang'an City all the way without danger and met King Rong Wanyan Hongxi.
After a secret discussion with King Rong, His Majesty the Emperor issued a blood edict, which counted the evil deeds of the Mongolian army, including the slaughter of the royal family of the Jin State, the slaughter of the court officials of the Jin State, and the slaughter of the people of the Imperial City of the Central Capital, hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Imperial City of the Central Capital were slaughtered by the Mongolian army, and the once prosperous Zhongdu City became a dead city, and the bones of the people in the city were piled up, and the evil deeds of the Mongolian army were really heinous, and it was difficult to write about them, including the Empress Dowager Li Shi'er and the Empress Dowager Bao Xiweak were unfortunately killed in the flight, and only the Emperor Xià and the little prince survived。
This blood edict can be described as blood and tears, and every sentence is sad and indignant, which makes the listeners bitter and crying.
His Majesty the Emperor put all the blame on the Mongols, fabricated a lie about the slaughter of the city in the central capital, and even rounded up the matter of caring for the weak, and completely cleared himself up, anyway, the reputation of the Mongol army has always been bad, and the Central Plains people have always thought that the Mongols are barbarians, and there are rumors that the Mongols eat human flesh.
Yang Kang is to quickly set the tone of the whole incident, in this era of underdeveloped information, the imperial court's newspaper is the best communication platform, but also the most credible, even if someone questions afterwards, but this is the official opinion of the imperial court, any doubts are ill-intentioned, are against the imperial court.
King Rong Wanyan Hongxi naturally knew the truth, Yang Kang didn't hide it, the three princes didn't care about it, those princes and ministers dared to force the palace, which was equivalent to rebellion, and if they were killed, they would be killed, and Yang Kang could escape with the little prince Wanyan Xu to make the three princes very pleased, their brothers in this generation killed each other, but King Rong didn't want the next generation to do the same.
This is the reason why His Majesty the Emperor fled with the little prince. The only thing he can rely on now is King Rong, and His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want this third uncle to think that he is a ruthless and unrighteous person, anyway, this kid can't pose a threat to him, so let's keep it for the time being.
This blood edict caused an uproar in the world, at least in the Jin Kingdom.
Now the land of Hebei is in the hands of the Mongol army, and only parts of Henan and Shaanxi are still under control. The army of the Song State crossed the Yangtze River and advanced towards Kaifeng Mansion, Shaanxi was occupied by Mu Huali for most of the time, and the Dajin State was undoubtedly in the most critical moment, this blood edict made the generals and people of the Jin State realize the brutality of the Mongol army, they only had two choices, one was to resist, the other was to escape, otherwise they could only fall into the fate of being slaughtered.
As a result, two very different situations have arisen in various parts of the country. One is to flee without a fight when they see the Mongol army, and the second is to fight to the death with the Mongol army until the last moment, and there are very few examples of surrender.
Yang Kang sat quietly in the former British Palace, and those who scattered and escaped gathered in the British Palace, this is the current team of His Majesty the Emperor, looking at these small, stupid and stupid people in front of him, there are no fierce generals. There are no good ministers, which can be described as extremely pitiful. However, His Majesty the Emperor was not discouraged, at least these people were loyal, at least he was safe in Chang'an City.
Temujin's army did not stick to the central capital, but divided into two routes, all the way to Chang'an City, to join Mu Huali's army. Attacking all the way to the south, to join the army of the Song State, this is Yelu Chucai's plan, as long as the two armies can meet, it is equivalent to cutting the Jin State into several small pieces. The next step is to nibble away.
After the autumn, with the advance of the Mongolian army, the surrounding counties of Jingzhao Mansion were lost one by one, Rongwang Wanyan Hongxi could only choose to stick to Chang'an City in the end, as long as he could hold on to the winter, he would get a respite, the heavy snowstorm in the north would make all parties temporarily stop fighting, Chang'an City is a male city, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Three months after the Mongol army attacked the Jin Kingdom, Temujin and Mu Huali joined forces under the city of Chang'an, and the Dajin Kingdom was in danger.
At the same time, in the Western Regions, dozens of countries formed an army of 500,000 people, claiming to be one million ready to attack Mongolia, led by Qu Zhulu, the monarch of the Western Liao State.
Western Liao is a country created by the general Yelu Dashi of Liao after the Jin State destroyed Liao, it stands to reason that Western Liao and Jin State are the enemies of destroying the country, but at this time the Qu Zhulu who controlled the Western Liao was the Mongolian Naiban Khan, who fled to Western Liao after Temujin eliminated the Naiban Ministry, and relied on the usurper to seize the power of Western Liao, he was not a Khitan nobleman, and he did not hate Jin State, but hated Temujin to the core.
At the instigation of Lou Shidao, Qu Chulu united dozens of large and small countries to prepare to take advantage of Mongolia's emptiness to capture Mongolia, Mongolia in order to attack the Jin State can be said to be the strength of the whole country, the elite out, Yelu Chucai in the Mobei in the middle of the strategy, he naturally thought of the possibility of chaos in the Western Regions, but there are many countries in the Western Regions, fighting with each other constantly, it is difficult to unify together, if only one or two countries are not to be afraid, he did not expect that under the lure of Lou Shidao and Mingjiao, these countries actually put aside their prejudices and united together.
First of all, the strong rise of Mongolia did threaten those small countries, and secondly, this opportunity was really good, the internal emptiness of Mongolia, coupled with the persuasion of Lou Shidao and a large amount of money to open the way, the Mingjiao Guangming Left Envoy used various means to bribe or blackmail the officials of those countries, so under the leadership of Qu Qulu, the integration of the coalition forces of various countries was completed.
The reason why it took so long was because there were many countries and constant disputes, but fortunately, Lou Shidao's coordination ability was good, and finally this army launched an attack on Mongolia.
In 1216 A.D., in the late autumn of the second year of Jin Tianci, millions of allied troops from various countries in the Western Regions attacked Mongolia, burning and looting all the way, such as entering a no-man's land, until they reached the banks of the Mongolian Martyrdom River, and approached Qudiao Alan, where the Mongolian camp was located.
After receiving the news, Temujin and Mu Huali reluctantly withdrew their troops from Chang'an City and returned to Mongolia to meet the enemy.
His Majesty the Emperor watched the withdrawal of the Mongol army in batches, and did not send troops to chase after him, the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, who knows if this is a conspiracy of the Mongols, until three days later, he got accurate news, the Mongol army withdrew from the Central Plains, and Mu Huali only left tens of thousands of soldiers to garrison in the Western Xia Kingdom.
The 150,000 Mongol army returned to Mobei to fight the millions of soldiers in the Western Regions, and it was another bloody battle.
Until this moment, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, the Jin State was temporarily saved, and then it depends on how to deal with the Song State, this war between the three kingdoms Song State is the weakest, but the Song State's 200,000 troops actually attacked the city of Kaifeng, just when the Song Emperor Zhao Kuo was ecstatic, he received the news of the withdrawal of the Mongolian army.
King Rong Wanyan Hongxi led an army of 100,000 to kill the Song army, the Jin soldiers were afraid of the Mongols, but they were not afraid of the Song soldiers, they wanted to vent the anger on the Mongols to the Song officers and soldiers, this way the Song soldiers were killed to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the Jin soldiers besieged Baoying City.
At this time, Jia She, the county commander of Baoying County, led the troops to defend to the death, and miraculously blocked the golden soldiers outside Baoying City, so that this inconspicuous county commander began to embark on a prominent career, but Jia Shi knew that this was not his credit, and Baoying City was able not to lose it, all because of a person named Yang Mu, this warrior who turned the tide was originally just a nursing home of Baoying Cheng's family.
At this point, under the mediation of Shi Miyuan, the prime minister of the Song State, the Jin State and the Song State once again negotiated peace, and this time the War of the Three Kingdoms, which lasted for four months, finally came to an end, but no one could predict when the next war would start and where it would go in the future.
