This place was the capital of the Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was blessed with mountains and seas, and was good at fish and salt. During the Han and Jin Dynasties, Linzi was not considered the foundation of the Three Qi Dynasties until the beginning, and it has been known as a city for thousands of years. It was not until the Yongjia chaos in the Western Jin Dynasty that it began to decline.
It was a waste of time, but the city still had a circuit of more than 20 miles, guarding the Zi River, and it could be regarded as an important military town on the East Shandong Road.
The Jin army on the border of Shandong was able to concentrate its troops. After Jinan changed hands, more than 30% of the troops were lost. The remaining part belonged to the Tianping Army Jiedushi Huang Laowudian, totaling more than 20,000, and was mainly stationed in Dongping Prefecture.
The city that governs the city relies on the lake and swamp areas on the north and south sides to block the Mongolian army. The other stronger part belongs to Wanyan Sala, the commander of the Shandong Road Army, with a total of more than 30,000 people, and its main force is stationed in Linzi and Le'an.
And because Wanyan Salara had long adhered to the strategy of heavily fortifying the city to deal with unexpected events, tens of thousands of civilians gathered in Linzi City. Strong men were mobilized in emergencies, plus the miscellaneous local troops who obeyed his orders, enough to gather seven people.
Eighty thousand people.
Of course, although this force is huge, its combat effectiveness is low. This is because the local army in Shandong has always relied on Meng'an Mouke's defense force as its backbone. Meng'an Mouke's troops have become lax after decades, and there is no mention of it.
The training and military discipline were also poor, and Wanyan Sala wanted to punish them, but it was difficult to do so because of the countless connections behind them.
The direct troops that Wanyan Sala has really worked hard to assemble in the past few years are actually only ten thousand people in size. Most of these ten thousand soldiers are backbone veterans who have participated in the Taihe Conquest of the Song Dynasty. The military discipline is relatively strict, the combat experience is rich, and the ordnance is
The material and equipment are also relatively complete.
For more than ten years, Wanyan Salara has led his headquarters in Shandong, suppressing the Song Dynasty people in the Southern Dynasties from rash action. He is undoubtedly convinced that his troops are the best no matter in the western border, northern Xinjiang or even the northeastern hinterland.
With this army and horses, his strength is no less than that of the marshals and governors in Daxing Mansion in Zhongdu.
As the famous ministers and generals in the Taihe period gradually withered away, and Wanyan Gang, Shuhu Gaoqi and others were unfavorable to the Mongols, Wanyan Sala had every chance to follow in the footsteps of his old boss Hu Shahu, from local to central, and from local to central.
He became a general in the imperial court by serving as a guard in one place and all the way.
Wanyan Sala was an old acquaintance of Hu Shahu. When Hu Shahu was the military commander of Shandong, Wanyan Sala served as Hu Shahu's deputy as the military governor of the navy. His relationship with Hu Shahu was as good as Shu.
Hu Gao Qizhi and Wan Yan Gang.
A few months ago, the imperial court issued an edict to appoint Wanyan Chenghui as the commander-in-chief of the Shandong army, and asked Wanyan Salara to lead an army of 20,000 people to march north to Zhongdu.
Wanyan Salara set off happily. In his opinion, this meant that Hu Shahu's influence on the Central Government was increasing and he needed strong party members to support him.
Wanyan Sala has been working hard in Shandong for many years. The success or failure depends on today!
But no one expected that as soon as Wanyan Salara's troops arrived in Cangzhou, Zhongdu would be turned upside down.
Hu Shahu had courage and determination, but he only lacked luck. He was only one step away from the center of power of Daijin, but this step was like a chasm. Hu Shahu was killed in Zhongdu City, and many of his followers were
Wanyan Sala's old friends and old robes were all wiped out overnight.
When the news reached Cangzhou, Wanyan Salara immediately sent an urgent message to Zhongdu, saying that he had been attacked by the Mongolian army and suffered huge losses in troops and horses, and was unable to go to Zhongdu to serve the king. Before the messenger arrived in Zhongdu, Wanyan
Sala hurriedly led his army back to Yidu, unable to retreat.
This world is too chaotic and too complicated. The only ones you can rely on are your own tens of thousands of troops, so you must hold on tight. The new king in the court has just ascended the throne, and he doesn’t know how many things he has to do. As long as he has the troops on hand, the court must also
It will not lead to a falling out with the military and political officials of one party.
This idea was almost the only life-saving straw in Wanyan Sala's eyes.
Later, the imperial court recalled Wanyan Chenghui, who was about to take office, and sent the former crown prince Shaofu, who was close to Hu Shahu and himself involved in the Zhongdu coup, and the Minister of Rites, Aotun Zhongxiao, to Shandong to appease him. This made Wanyan Sala slightly calmer.
Don't worry.
He attributed the court's actions to the fact that he still had the strength at hand, so even if the Mongolian army arrived, his military arrangements in Shandong still adhered to the original ideas.
That is to keep the army you have at all costs. As long as you have soldiers, anything is possible.
But who would have thought that the Mongolian army was not a real threat at all.
While the Mongols were still rampaging in Hebei, the imperial court sent a new Dinghaijun Jiedu envoy.
The name of this new Jiedushi was Guo Ning. He was the man who beheaded the Marshal in Zhongdu a few months ago during the coup in Zhongdu. As soon as this new Jiedushi arrived in Laizhou, he killed many beautiful people in Laizhou.
All the officials Salar recognized were detained in one place and no longer had any real power.
Of course, Wanyan Sala would not be unprepared for this person, so when he heard that Guo Ning was about to take office, he contacted many parties, intending to force Guo Ning to bow his head due to the lack of food. To this end, Wanyan Sala also sent out Austrian soldiers.
Tun Zhongxiao was appointed as an envoy to contact Guo Ning.
But who would have thought that Guo Ning would be so fierce and arrogant... He would kill Aotun Zhongxiao directly!
That's the former Prince's Young Master and Minister of Rites! The newly appointed Shandong Road Inspector!
Unless he is a madman, who would dare to do this? Then Guo Ning can't be a madman, right?
Could it be that... Guo Ning's brazen killing was based on Zhongdu's wishes?
It's very possible! Someone in Zhongdu doesn't want to leave a way for Hu Shahu's old man to survive!
Wanyan Salara was so frightened by this that he tossed and turned all night long until the Mongols captured Jinan Prefecture. He once again sent his close associate Wanyan Niangu to see Guo Ning and ask for help from Guo Ning.
When Wanyan Niangu went there, he saw Aotun Zhongxiao's head being hung on a pole, but he didn't say anything. His request was already very humble. He only asked the Guoning faction to always support the division and defend the capital.
Wanyan Salara's idea is very simple. As long as you are willing to come, I won't talk about the distinction between upper and lower classes. We just treat everyone as friends and everything can be discussed.
Guo Ning still ignored it.
This time, Wanyan Salara was completely disappointed.
He knew that Guo Ning had no kindness towards him at all, and behind that might be the cold and unshakable determination of the imperial court.
Not long after, Wanyan Salara heard that Guo Ning had been fighting with the fourth Mongolian prince Tuo Lei, so he further reduced his troops in several important towns, pretending to be completely harmless, and only asked the Mongolian army to quickly use their long drive to advance.
, the specialty of cavalry outflanking, went to take care of Guo Ning.
But who would have thought that the Mongolian army was defeated by Guo Ning, and even the fourth prince Tolei himself became a prisoner.
Youyou Cangtian, are you kidding me, Wanyan Sala?
If this continues, what will be the final result?
The Jurchens had established their country and dynasty for decades, and they were no longer the rough and fierce barbarians they once were. People like Wanyan Sala knew very well that the cruelty of political struggle was far better than the swords, guns, swords and halberds on the battlefield.
The terrible current situation forced Wanyan Sala to think over and over again, not knowing what to do. In just a few days, he couldn't eat or sleep. He lost two or three laps of weight, and his cheekbones were all damaged.
It stood taller. The armor that was originally close to the body was now like a scarecrow wearing a toga, dangling.
When he pulled himself together and patrolled the city, the soldiers all thought that the commander was worried about the war, and even a few people who usually regarded themselves as confidants came up to comfort him, saying over and over: "Ding Haijun won, everything will be easy."
, the Mongols will leave soon!"
These idiots! Wanyan Sala was most worried about what would happen after the Mongols left, but he couldn't talk to anyone about it.
He could only end his inspection hastily and return to the central army.
In front of the gate of the Chinese Army, his trusted advisor Boshu Lu Changshou was about to go out to look for him.
"What's the matter?" Wanyan Sala asked.
Boshu Lu Changshou saluted: "There are people who are going to the west and are returning to the city. They have been waiting for a long time."
Wanyan Salara was helped off his horse by his attendants and asked casually: "Where in Jinan? Ding Haijun is still relocating Jinan's household registration?"
Bishulu Changshou shook his head and whispered in his ear: "Come from Texas."
After the Fourth Prince was defeated in Laizhou, he still had more than 7,000 elite cavalry. Under the leadership of the Red Horse Prince Consort, they reduced their forces and stationed themselves in Dezhou!
Wanyan Sara asked in a deep voice: "There are no rumors, right?"
"Absolutely nothing."
"Okay, let's go meet."
