Chapter 53: Qin and Song Friction
Chapter 53 Qin and Song Friction
Subsequently, the Tumeng army recruited new soldiers, led by veterans, and attacked from the left and right, and began to attack the northern regions, mainly the Loess Plateau and the Hebei Plain, and it took a year and a half for the north to settle down.
The left side of the Tu Meng army is close to the Hetao area, but it is a valley plain, too close to the Mongolian desert, the Mongolian army is strong, although the Tu Meng army attacked several times, but were repelled by the Mongolian soldiers, Meng Ge's seventh brother Ali Buge sent a large army to help the Hetao, the Tu Meng army knew that it could not do anything, so it could only give up.
The right-hand Tu Meng army won a series of great victories in Henan, and later went straight to Yanjing, but it was defeated by Kublai Khan, the fourth brother of Meng Ge, and could not recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.
This place is extremely important, that is, the Beijing area of the later generations, which was ceded to the Khitan by Shi Jingjiao during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, in order to obtain the support of the Khitan to establish the Later Jin Dynasty, and since then it has not been owned by the Han Chinese, and has been occupied by the Khitans, Jurchens and Mongols.
Tu Meng's army has the intention to recover here, but the loss of successive battles is too great, Cang Fei can only reluctantly accept the reality, he runs around the battlefield, although the consumption of Tu Meng's army is reduced, and a lot of results are obtained, but he can only do this.
The Great Qin Empire, now ruled by Cangfei, is basically equivalent to the northern territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the Hetao region belonged to the Western Xia, and the sixteen states of Yanyun belonged to the Liao State, and at this time they also belonged to the Mongol Empire, but they belonged to the seventh prince Ali Buge and the fourth prince Kublai Khan.
These two Mongolian princes are not the same heart, both want to compete for the throne of the Khan, it seems that it is another dragon and tiger fight, Cang Fei knows that Kublai Khan will win in history, and finally establish the Yuan Dynasty, now whether this is the case He does not know, anyway, it seems that Ali Buge is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is estimated that it will take a while for the two tigers to compete to distinguish the winner.
Cangfei suffered setbacks in the Hetao area and the sixteen states of Yanyun, and did not continue to fight, the expanded territory needed to be digested, and the Tu Meng army also needed to rest after such a long campaign, in fact, in the first battle outside Taiyuan City, the Tu Meng army should have stopped, but Cang Fei could not sit back and watch the fruits of his victory be lost, so he held on.
When the north was basically stable, Cang Fei returned to Luoyang and returned to Luoyang.
The 30,000 newly formed Janissaries returned majestically and proudly, and were welcomed by the people of Luoyang, which was a day worth celebrating, after all, most of the northern region had been recovered, the whole city was jubilant, and the whole country was jubilant.
A year and a half have passed, the north has settled down, the Central Plains and Guanzhong have been given the northern land as a barrier, and they have stabilized, no longer worried about the invasion of Mongolia, and the people are grateful to Cangfei.
Cang Fei was not overjoyed, but just showed his signature smile, entered the city, and returned to the palace.
He was very tired, he was too tired in this battle, for a year and a half, he was constantly running around on the battlefield, almost without a pause, the Tu Meng army was too weak, and the losses were too great before, many of them were new soldiers, and they could only rely on the advantage of numbers to fight, and Cangfei's personal force became the key.
It wasn't until this half a year that the new generation of generals of the Tumeng army rose up and began to dominate the battlefield and could compete with the Mongol soldiers in the north, Cang Fei breathed a sigh of relief and had time to return to Luoyang south and take a breath.
Seeing the women, Cang Fei felt a little like a different world, after working hard for so long, he finally saw his wife at home, just like a husband who left home to work, and went home to see his family during the Chinese New Year.
The same is true for the women, talking sweetly with Cang Fei and complaining to each other about the pain of lovesickness.
When he woke up and looked at the women on the bed, Cang Fei smiled, this feeling is still the best.
Now he regrets being the emperor a little, this responsibility is too heavy, and he is about to collapse, so that he can't breathe.
Moreover, after entering the world of the Condor Heroes, he actually wanted to bring the women with him, which was true at first, but after the founding of the country, he often had to separate, he really didn't want the women to fight on the battlefield, it was too dangerous, he felt that he was a big man, and he couldn't let his wife fall into danger, and finally he could only give up his original intention.
Sure enough, things in the world often can't go as people want, but looking at these beautiful wives in front of him, he feels relieved.
......
However, Cang Fei's happy days are destined not to last long, and from the moment he chooses to be the emperor, he is destined to be bound by state affairs, even if he wants to transfer the major affairs of the court and politics to the daughters and share them together.
In the north, the Great Qin State temporarily maintained peace with the Mongols, but it had a violent conflict with the Song State in the south.
Above the court.
"Your Majesty, the border between the Song State and my Great Qin is long, and the territory is entangled, and now there is often friction between the Tumeng army and the border army, and there is a tendency to become more and more intense, and it must be resolved immediately at this time, otherwise the two countries will be opposed, and I am afraid that the Song State will be friendly with Mongolia, and then we will fall into a war on the north and south fronts. Yelu Chucai said.
When the Mongols were there, why didn't they see the Song army daring to take a step on the border, and when we defeated the Mongols, they came out to collect the city and seize the land, and said that this was to recover their homeland, and those Song border troops were really shameless!" Hua Fangsheng said with an angry face.
Whoever exhausts his efforts to get the results, being picked by others, will not be good-tempered, not to mention that the Tu Meng army fought hard with the Mongols for those territories, I don't know how many robes died in those lands, but those Song soldiers came out at this time to snatch the fruits of the war, if Hua Fangsheng was not angry, it would be really strange.
"For this matter, the Song State has begun to blockade the southern materials, which has caused a considerable impact on our Great Qin, especially the embargo of grain, which has made our already scarce grain even worse, and the domestic grain price has skyrocketed, causing great panic. Yelu Chucai said.
Cang Fei heard that his head was big, he knew that there was a shortage of grain in the country, and the grain and grass consumed by the previous war had already made the production load of Guanzhong and the Central Plains just restored, and in the large number of territories that had just been recovered, the people had just begun to cultivate, not to mention that there was no harvest, but also to those farmers to grow grain, otherwise the grain would not automatically grow from the ground.
Helping the people in the north is the top priority of Daqin during this time, otherwise it will cause civil unrest in the north, and all dynasties and dynasties will be like this when the people are hungry and can't fill their stomachs.
The Jurchens of the Jin State and the later Mongols naturally did not worry about this, they could conquer these rebellious people as much as they wanted, as if they were reducing the number of people in the Han land, anyway, if they killed more, the Han people would be less, so that their minority regimes could be more stable.
