For hundreds of years, Dajin has occupied the territory and promoted culture and education, named Shun Shanchuan, Zhou Liyue, Tang Riyue, Han Yiguan, as if it inherited the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. But in fact, the entire governance system is from top to bottom.
It does not take away from the strong and rough style of white mountains and black waters.
For hundreds of years, the confrontation between the central government of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the division between the local government and the central government, were accompanied by blood and massacres, never ending. And there were few times when the emperor, the clan, the powerful ministers, and the local forces truly worked together. Even in Dading
During the prosperous times, there was still an undercurrent inside.
After the Ming Dynasty, the country's power declined rapidly, and the contradictions that had been covered up were intensified again. The court itself had constant political disputes. Wanyan Yongji was incompetent in governing, and Hu Shahu launched an army to rebel. The reputation of the court fell to a low point.
Later, when the new king came to the throne, he successively appointed wise ministers. He should have worked hard and made great achievements, but the Mongolian army marched south again. The Mongolian cavalry rampaged, and the main force came to Daxing Mansion in the central capital, once again cutting off the central hub of Dajin and the vast territory.
Territorial connections.
For a normal dynasty, the siege of the country's capital might arouse the common hatred among the soldiers and the people. However, the Great Jin Kingdom had a rough governance system and a lack of awe in the people. Once the central government was weak, all kinds of strange things would happen.
The last time the Mongolian army came to Zhongdu, the situation in the northeastern hinterland of the Great Jin Longxing had changed. First, the Khitan Yelvliu Ge defeated the Jin army and established himself as the king of Liao. His reign name was Yuan Tong and his capital was Guangning. He was then responsible for conquering Yeluliu.
Brother Wanyan Chengyu and Pu Xianwannu also began to use Huining Mansion in Shangjing as their base, as if they were supporting their own troops.
Interestingly, Brother Yelvliu's control areas are mainly in Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, Guangning, Xianping, and then to the south of Linhuang Prefecture Road. These areas happened to cut off Wanyan Chengyu and Pu Xianwannu from entering the defense center.
the city’s roads.
At the beginning of the siege of Zhongdu, the imperial court's edicts to mobilize troops and the King Qin were sent to Beijing like snowflakes. However, Wanyan Chengyu and Pu Xianwannu led tens of thousands of elite troops, but they could not move. The reason why they reported back to the imperial court was
The Mongolian army used thousands of cavalry to support Brother Yeluliu, which was really terrifying. We fought once and lost our troops, so we must not fight again.
Not only is the situation in the northeastern hinterland unclear, but also at Datong Mansion in Xijing, Deputy Marshal Zuo and Mo Nian Zhongzhong, who is staying in Xijing, also has tens of thousands of troops and sits back and watches the war in Hebei. More than four months have passed, and he was sent to Zhongdu to support it.
General, there is only one Yunnei Prefecture defense envoy Wanyan Bi.
Wanyan Bi is not an incompetent person. He is an old subordinate of Wanyan Kuang. He once conquered the east and west, repeatedly defeated the Song army, and accumulated great achievements to Pingnan Dangjiang General. He has a reputation for bravery. However, the Yunnei Prefecture where he was stationed was in
The war was overrun by the Mongols at the beginning of the war. Wanyanbi fought his way out of the siege with his proficiency in martial arts. He was loyal and did not give him any support, so that when Wanyanbi arrived in Zhongdu, he only had a few cavalry with him.
This is the case in the northeastern hinterland, and the same is true on the Xijing Road. I heard that at the other end of the Jingzhaofu Road, there were warriors who insisted on sending troops to serve the king, but they were unanimously attacked by their colleagues and were killed. Then, the important officials in the east and west roads of Shandong each had their own plans.
That is as it should be.
Everyone thinks about their own immediate interests.
However, during the more than ten years that Wanyan Sala had been in Shandong, he had been fighting openly and secretly with Huang Laowu Dian for seven or eight years. Wanyan Sala had already seen through this mediocre man who was carefully entrenched in Dongping Mansion.
This man was greedy for money, incompetent, timid, and cruel. The reason why he was able to become a high-ranking official in the border areas was because of his official methods of accepting bribes and requests, but after all, he lacked some insight.
At this time, you still want to maintain your family's power and position based on the emperor's preferences? Huang Slap Wudian is stupid!
Wanyan Salara knew very well that if the Mongols invaded Zhongdu from time to time, the prestige of the Jin Kingdom would soon be trampled into the ground. The emperor's preferences and the choice of the central government would immediately lose any value.
.The situation before us is the beginning of troubled times, and the only things we can rely on in troubled times are territory and soldiers!
After the Mongolian army destroyed Huang Laowudian's headquarters, Wanyan Salara would be able to directly control Dongping and Jinan. There are two rich places, territory and military strength. Are you afraid that the court will not recognize them?
The only worrying thing right now is that the Mongolian army's movements seem to be slower than expected.
Huang slapped Wudian's movements already slow. He led more than 20,000 troops. After leaving Dongping Mansion, he walked for ten days before reaching Jinan. He marched no more than twenty miles every day, and continued to plunder along the way.
As for the baggage team, it is getting bigger and bigger.
But for ten days, the Mongolian army never took action.
As a result, Wanyan Salara had no choice but to slow down and march with the troops he planned to use to seize Jinan and Dongping. These were all linked by subordinates, and there was nothing they could do about it.
His army started from Linzi, followed the Mianshui River northward to the Xiaoqing River, crossed the river at the Sanchakou in Boxing County, and then turned westward. Since the Mongols were not moving, his army could not get up quickly.
After spending more than ten miles in a day, we have just reached the north of Zouping, and across the river to the east, we can see Changbai Mountain.
On the same day, halfway through their march, they actually ran into a fleet of ships from the Ding Navy gathering people from all over the country.
The size of the fleet is really quite large. There are dozens of ships, maybe five or six thousand people, right?
Those are all refugees from around Jinan, they should be the people under Wanyan Sala's rule!
Wanyan Salara had long known about the Ding Navy's large-scale recruitment of people. But seeing it with his own eyes and hearing about it were two different things. Seeing the fleet's sails connected, he could not help but feel angry. Not to mention the bow of the ship.
There was a bald monk sitting there, with one foot raised halfway up the sky. When he saw the Shandong Road Army envoy's team, he didn't get up to salute!
Too abominable.
For a moment, Wanyan Salara wanted to send people to stop the fleet, scuttle all the ships, and transfer all the people to Linzi.
But he didn't dare.
The current situation is so chaotic that we really can't add anything to the problem. Furthermore, I heard that the fleet in Guo Ning's hands is not his own, but cobbled together from many wealthy and senior officials for business use. This, this,
A little impatience will mess up a big plan.
In the end, Wanyan Sala did nothing and urged the army to continue the operation.
It is also embarrassing to say that Wanyan Sala originally had a large number of soldiers and horses, but because of Li Quan's rebellion, he left more than 20,000 people to guard Linzi, Le'an and Binzhou. He also sent a team of people to support Yi
Zhang Lin from the capital. The troops he brought out at the moment were only a little over 10,000.
This number is actually a little less. It is a bit reluctant to overwhelm Jinan and Dongping, and we have to hope that the Mongolian cavalry will not show mercy when they attack Huang Slapwu Dian.
The Mongols should take action quickly!
Wanyan Sala pressed the long knife on his waist and stood on a high place to look at his own marching troops. The ones accompanying him were still Boshulu Changshou and Wanyan Niangu.
In early November, it was already a bleak winter, surrounded by gray-yellow fields.
The icy wind blew against his armor, making a crisp sound of iron pieces hitting each other, which quickly dispersed in the wind. Wanyan Sala shivered, and for some unknown reason, he suddenly felt a little strange.
"Do you think the Mongolian army suffered too much loss in the battle with Guo Ning and dared not move? After all, they lost their coach. They must have lost miserably in that battle!" He lowered his voice and asked.
A close confidant: "What if the Mongolian army dare not take action..."
Wanyan Niangu said: "No. The Commander-in-Chief, the Qianhu Nayans of Mongolia have to make up for their losses in Laizhou, and after the failure of the fourth prince of Mongolia in dragging thunder in Laizhou, they will definitely find an unlucky person to vent their anger on, and then a little
To cover up the shame of being defeated by the navy. They will definitely fight this battle."
"But……"
"Why haven't they taken action? They won't break the contract, right?" he asked.
Wanyan Niangu's explanation made sense, and the agreement between the two parties was clear, but the strange feeling in Wanyan Sala's heart was like a bone in his throat, making him more and more uncomfortable. He gathered his robe uneasily,
Asked: "Where are the scouts heading north?"
"I came back half an hour ago and said everything was normal. Counting the time, the next batch will be here soon." Wanyan Niangu replied.
Boshu Lu Changshou took a step forward and pointed into the distance: "Isn't the scout back?"
Just below the line of sight of the three men, the scout galloped wildly, sweeping across the plain like a puff of smoke.
When he dismounted in front of the high slope, his legs became weak and he suddenly fell to his knees.
"Help him up, help him up!" Wanyan Salara shouted impatiently.
The scout was helped up. Before he could stand still, he shouted: "How is it? Has the Mongolian army moved?"
The scout fell to his knees with a pop and said in a trembling voice: "Commander of the Army, the Mongolian army has moved out..."
"well!"
"The Mongolian army, the overwhelming Mongolian army is coming towards us!"
"What?" Wanyan Salara stretched out his hand and picked up the scout: "Say it again?"
The scout was right.
More than thirty miles away from Wanyan Salara's troops, the Mongolian army continued to advance.
From every thousand households, to every hundred households, to the bee-like Aljinchi, the war slaves with blood-red eyes, and the Batu'er wearing iron armor, they all urged their horses forward amidst the passionate drumbeats. Seven thousand
The remaining cavalry didn't sound like many, but looking around, I could see horses gathering and scattering like clouds, soldiers and armor covering the field, flags as many as bushes, and the cold light of swords and guns reflecting off the people could hardly open their eyes.
The roaring sound of iron hoofs filled people's ears, making it almost impossible to hear each other's voices.
Tuo Lei rode his horse in front of the army. After escaping from Laizhou, it took him some effort to regain control of the army. The process was so difficult that he lost a lot of weight and his cheekbones became high.
His broken ribs were still hurting, and the constant pain made his lips turn white and his face turn blue. But this kind of painful torture made Tuo Lei feel a special pleasure; it was like a reminder, or
It was an inspiring goal that was burned into his bones, causing his anger to continue to burn.
He loudly said: "The Jin people are cunning and have nothing to discuss with them. Today, I will crush Wanyan Sala and Huang Laowudian! I will use the heads of ten thousand Jurchens to comfort those who died in the battle."
Warriors! Use 10,000 cattle and sheep, 10,000 swords and armors to reward your comrades for their meritorious service!"
