The Liao Kingdom fell... But what is different from the historical Western Liao is that the third son of Nanjing Nanyuan Palace, Yelu Shange, led the Nanjing left-behind elite cavalry to severely block Tong Guan's victorious army!
There was a bloody battle that day... The imperial army of the Song Dynasty killed more than 30,000 people, but they were unable to touch the city wall of Nanjing!
Tong Guan was frightened by the crazy Khitan cavalry, and despite the general's dissuasion, he ordered to break camp overnight and retreat fifty miles.
Marshal Yelu Dashi protected the two princes and escaped from Zhongjing City, summoned all the remaining Liao cavalry to go north and occupied a city for rest. Yelu Shange burned down Nanjing City, dispersed all the people and went to Yelu Dashi overnight.
The rest of the battle almost replicated the Battle of Nanjing City between the Song and Liao Dynasties. More than 300,000 elite Forbidden Army soldiers of the Song Dynasty abandoned their helmets and armor and were beaten into panic by less than 50,000 Liao Army remnants.
Tong Guan sat at the border of Zhending Prefecture, dispatching troops and generals to attack everywhere, but almost nothing was gained... instead he lost 60,000 to 70,000 Song imperial troops! In the end, no one even dared to attack Nanjing City of Liao Kingdom, which was billowing with thick smoke.
…
As expected, the Sixteenth Province of Youyun once again changed hands! Only this time it fell from the hands of the Khitans to the Jurchens!
The rest of the story... except that Song Wen was transferred to Dengzhou to serve as the military commander of Dengzhou, the rest are all developing according to the trend of history.
The imperial court rejoiced and everyone celebrated, but Tong Guan secretly asked Song Huizong for millions of dollars and precious cloths and brocades to exchange with the arrogant Jurchens to redeem several deserted cities...
It was not until a year later that the Jurchens finally basically swallowed up and integrated the chaotic Han and Khitan people in the Liao Kingdom, as well as the Bohai people, the Semu people, and the Tiele people!
The remaining stories have long been engraved on the humiliating monument of the Song Dynasty. Yanyun was redeemed but only six empty cities were obtained. The court rejoiced and praised its virtues. Cai You, Li Bangyan, Cai Sui, Tongguan and others were promoted to official positions and the whole world celebrated... The restoration of Yanyun Monument
Standing tall, people all over the world celebrated with their foreheads and hands.
However, there were still undercurrents surging in the court. Wang Fu actually made a desperate move and asked for orders to go to the Jurchen camp to discuss the redemption of Yanyun Sixteen States. Although the result was still unsatisfactory, several cities were finally recovered and given to the court to praise the emperor Zhao Ji.
Chance……
Wang Fu rises and rejoins the cabinet!
Then the entire Song Dynasty's cabinet and core court started a melee! Cai You joined forces with Wang Fu and Tong Guan to attack Cai Jing and Cai Sui. Cai Jing was dismissed from the prime minister again... and Cai Sui was demoted one level! Liang Shicheng secretly instigated it again
Tong Guan suppressed Li Bangyan's attempt to become king...
Tong Guan finally got his wish, he got the title of a county king, and he was very satisfied! But he didn't know that he had completely disappointed the soldiers of the Imperial Army. An eunuch who only knew how to make a name for himself and gain wealth, stepped on the numerous corpses of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty.
He can also be crowned king! Those soldiers and generals who died in battle can still only be called thieves and soldiers!
Before the chaos subsided, Zhang Jue and Pingzhou surrendered to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was still complacent at first, but the Jurchens, who had established a country named Jin, immediately used this as an excuse to raise troops to investigate...
The Song Dynasty was afraid, and the cabinet ordered overnight to kill Zhang Jue and return Pingzhou to give an explanation to the Jurchens! The Jurchens did not know whether they were satisfied or not, but the Song Dynasty court went against its promise and killed Zhang Jue, which made Yan Yunliu, who originally wanted to the Song Dynasty,
The Han people in Zhou were completely disappointed!
How could such a Song Dynasty protect these Han people of the same ancestry and race?
No matter how many coins are handed over to the Jin Kingdom, no matter how many Zhang Jue is killed and given to the Jin people, they can't stop the Jin people from going south to attack the Song Dynasty... Because I have always had a good impression of the Song Dynasty and am willing to abide by the maritime alliance between Song and Jin.
The founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Agu, was beaten to death.
In the seventh year of Xuanhe...the first time the Jin people went south to attack the Song Dynasty began!
Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan petitioned to attack the Song Dynasty on the grounds of "Zhang Jue's incident". In October, Wanyan Zongwang led his army from Pingzhou to attack Yanshan Prefecture. Han Minyi, the garrison general of Yizhou in the Northern Song Dynasty, surrendered.
In December, Prince Zhao Huan ascended the throne. In the seventh year of Xuanhe, the year was changed to the first year of Jingkang. Huizong Zhao Ji abdicated and named himself the leader of the Taojun Emperor, the "Tai Shang Emperor". On January 2, the Jin army defeated the Song army in Baihe;
Two days later, Song general Guo Yaoshi surrendered, and Song Yanshan's defense collapsed.
Soon the Jin army defeated Song Zhongshan and sent 30,000 reinforcements. On the third day of the first lunar month, Huizong, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others heard that the Jin soldiers had crossed the Yellow River and decided to flee south overnight. Huizong only took Cai You and a few servants with him.
People, in the name of "burning incense", escaped from Tokyo and ran to Bozhou, and then fled from Bozhou to Zhenjiang to avoid disaster. Tong Guan and the commander in front of the palace, Gao Qiu, led the victorious army and imperial guards to catch up at the border of Sizhou
Huizong Cai Jing also led his family to flee to Gongzhou in the name of "subordinate".
After the Jin army led by Wanyan Zonghan defeated Daizhou, Zhongshan surrendered upon hearing the news. The Jin army defeated 5,000 Song soldiers in Zhending Mansion and then surrounded Taiyuan, but was blocked at the gate of Taiyuan City.
Half of the Central Plains suffered from military disasters one after another. All the imperial troops of the Song Dynasty and the border troops of the Northern Territory were defeated like dead grass and trees by the Jin soldiers... Soldiers without fighting spirit will have no fighting spirit! The ministers who defended the land either abandoned the city and fled in embarrassment, or turned around and
Kneeling in front of the golden horse and shivering.
In Dezhou, east of Hejian Prefecture, cavalry wearing the coats of the Xiang Army of the Song Dynasty suddenly appeared. However, there were actually many Mongolians and Bohai people mixed in among these Xiang troops... If they hadn't been fighting
Under the banner of the Song Dynasty, the governor of Dezhou and the governor of the state capital were eager to surrender to Kaicheng!
If the Jin came, if I dared to resist, wouldn't I be slaughtered by the brutal Jin?
The Texas guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and watched as this group of more than 3,000 cavalrymen, carrying more horses and baggage, quickly passed through the official road of Texas and disappeared into the east.
"What a thief... How could a poor Dengzhou get so many cavalry? Did the imperial court move the imperial army to Dengzhou?"
A deputy general next to him asked doubtfully: "It is said that Dengzhou guard Song Wen is a rich man. Is it possible that all these cavalrymen were raised by him? He...he doesn't want to rebel, right?"
"What the hell... all the officials, Taoist kings and emperors have run away, leaving the new officials and a group of old court officials still arguing in Bianliang. What do you care about this? I heard that the Jin people have surrounded Bianliang...
…How can the imperial court care about remote and remote areas like Dengzhou and Mizhou? It’s better to do less than to do more. Let’s just pretend we don’t know!”
"Yes, General Mo will go down and tell these Qiu Ba to stop talking nonsense!"
In Qizhou, Yunzhou and Xingzhou, some people gathered tens of thousands of refugees and heroes who were unwilling to be slaughtered by the Jin people and rushed to the remote Dengzhou Mizhou overnight. After entering Yunlong, Gongsun Sheng and others summoned friends in the rivers and lakes and among the people.
To build momentum for the Mizhou generation in Dengzhou...the area there is vast but sparsely populated and the army is heavily guarded! The Jin people did not take care of the Shandong Peninsula, so they could avoid military disasters and man-made disasters...
For a time, those Han people in the North who had good physical strength or were unwilling to become slaves of the Jin people, as well as those soldiers who had been dispersed and did not want to return to the Forbidden Army to work their lives, began to gather together and quietly rushed to Dengzhou Mizhou Yidai.
For more than half a year, the Jin army was still negotiating with Zhao Heng, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, demanding an increase in annual coins for indemnities in various parts of the Song Dynasty. The Western Army of the Song Dynasty avoided the lost Taiyuan and rushed to Bianliang to confront Wanyan Zongwang's Jin army. The veteran Zhong Shidao supported him with his waning body.
Li Gang, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the defense envoy of the four walls of Bianliang, dealt with the Jin people as the last breath of the Song Dynasty...
In the Dengzhou generation, Song Wen used eighteen guard posts as military camps and quietly recruited more than 15,000 soldiers!
From the chaotic battlefield, Li Erlang used his 3,000 elite cavalrymen who had been trained in fighting on the grasslands to rush back to Dengzhou with more than 5,000 and 2,000 war horses! Song Wen left the military camp and marched thirty miles away...
…
Wang Zhiwei had completely sold off all his businesses and commercial lands in the Central Plains a year ago, and replaced them with grain, cloth, various iron materials, cowhide, livestock and other items from Jiangnan and Southwest, which were shipped to the Shandong Peninsula one after another.
More than 100,000 refugees were recruited one after another and were organized by Song Wen into the nearby counties that had been evacuated to start farming.
Elite troop training has begun!
While Song Wen used relief funds for the refugees in the Central Plains to build forts and trenches along the two rivers, he also directly built fortifications and various forts east of Qingzhou near the water...
Song Wen had no time to talk to the commander-in-chief and the state government. Now rumors were spreading that transportation was cut off. The escaped emperor and the hesitant and indecisive new emperor seemed to have lost their last dignity!
Ten thousand truly elite infantry, plus five thousand cavalry who are not inferior to the elite of the Liao Kingdom... This is the combat power that Song Wen wants to initially complete!
As for the stored swords, guns and armors, the Sanxian Island Workshop and the Dengzhou Workshop have been operating at full capacity for a while and are continuously increasing the quantity of production... In just a few months, Song Wen has squandered so much gold, silver and food resources that...
Wu Yong, Sun Mou and all the civil servants and counselors were horrified!
The terrifying strength of Sanxian Island has also begun to show... A full 30,000 improved gunpowder bombs are stored in batches in various fortresses and Dengzhou camps.
Song Wen finally showed his sharp claws and took control of a real elite army as a mere military commander of a state capital. All the confidants of the Qingshan Battalion served as officers and mixed into these armies.
Even the Liangshan heroes who followed Song Wen each led an army and were stationed in various expanded guard posts.
Yang Zhi, who was transferred to the Xiang Army in Mizhou, came to the Dengzhou camp alone late one night to ask for an audience with Song Wen. After a deep conversation between the two, Yang Zhi walked out of the Dengzhou camp and returned to Mizhou with his face as normal... Then Qingshan camp's
The cavalry and officers once again strengthened their control of the more than 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Mizhou Xiang Army, and then stationed themselves in the Santang County military camp in the south to vaguely guard against Haizhou in the south, which was still nominally controlled by the imperial court!
At this point, when Wanyan Zongwang slowly withdrew his troops unwillingly, when the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to plot against each other, when the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji was also ready to return to Bianliang...
Song Wen, who is far away in the Shandong Peninsula, has completed the preliminary strategic deployment! The Dengzhou and Mizhou front lines have vaguely developed the strategic depth and defense system to retreat and fight alone!
