Days are everlasting

In the first year of Duanping, the war between Xixia and Mongolia ended abruptly.

The Mongols lost six out of ten combat power, but it is undeniable that the losses of the Xixia people were much greater than those of the Mongols.

Probably the cause of the plague was attributed to Xixia, and the Mongols who finally broke through many Xixia gates first did the massacre of the city, and then destroyed the entire city, which made people feel violent.

In memory, Zhao Yun, who was extremely disgusted and disgusted with the evil deeds done by the Mongols in the Central Plains, was extremely indifferent to the Mongols' destruction of Xixia, that is, the behavior of the Dangxiang nation.

Although it is different from the Mongols, the Dangxiang people are not Han people, and because Mongolia almost exterminated this people, there is no such ethnic group in the blood of the Huaxia people in later generations. There is no difference between Dangxiang and other foreign races, as well as those countries in the West, and Zhao Yun has no feelings for them.

It doesn’t matter if you say he is ruthless or cold-blooded, in short, Zhao Yun, who has no special affection for Xixia, makes people use Xixia as a lesson to spread widely among the people and courts, and mobilizes their emotions of "guarding our country", but at the same time, he has no special feelings for Xixia. Their death is indifferent.

In other words, Zhao Yun is very pleased that the Xixia people can be used as material to alert the people of China.

Plagues were common in ancient China, and people have come up with a set of prevention and control methods. The plague first broke out in Mongolia and Xixia, and even if it spread to the Kingdom of Jin, it was still far away from the Song Dynasty. In the Kingdom of Jin, The preventive measures for the plague have been launched, mainly to blockade the confirmed areas, and the unconfirmed adjacent areas are also checked very strictly. Therefore, the possibility of widespread infection in the country can basically be ruled out.

No matter how terrifying it is, the plague is just a kind of plague. Compared with Europe, which has been dominated by the terror of the plague for an unknown number of years and has killed many people, China, which is more advanced in civilization, naturally has more people. coping methods.

But this theory does not apply to the Mongols.

What they need is probably only pastures. The prosperity of important cities is no less than that of Xixia in the Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty. They were turned into ruins by the Mongols, and the Mongols did not feel sorry at all.

Although the declaration of turning everything under the blue sky into a Mongolian pasture sounds domineering at the same time, but in Zhao Yun’s view, such a declaration by the Mongols is quite realistic. The so-called pasture they said is, It's not a false finger, but a real pasture.

For the Mongols, grasslands are more reassuring than prosperous cities, so that after they finally invaded the Song Dynasty in history, there were Mongolian nobles who proposed to turn all land into pastures. So put it on hold, but because they found that it was faster to collect money from taxes.

Hey, although this incident hasn't happened yet, I really feel very angry when I think about it!

The Mongols were severely poisoned by the plague, but the Kingdom of Jin did not have the awareness to take advantage of your illness to kill you, probably because they were afraid that the plague of the Mongols would spread to them again. Since the Mongols themselves were already overwhelmed, the people of the Kingdom of Jin Not asking for trouble either.

Zhao Yun, who fights the Mongols as the final boss, also thinks the same way.

In any case, Jin Guo must be resolved.

Mongolia was temporarily solved by methods such as the plague. During this period of time, Mongolia should fall into civil strife or go west again. In short, it will not attack the Song and Jin countries for the time being.

Even in history, the fall of the Kingdom of Jin was seven years after the fall of Xixia, let alone now when Mongolia's vitality was seriously injured.

The question now is, how does Da Song solve the confidant's serious problem that has been standing in front of them for a long time-Jin Guo.

Don't talk about the alliance between the two countries. It's just a decision made by the new king of the Jin Dynasty because of the threat of Mongolia. Didn't he see that when he was not paying attention, his subordinates were trying to find ways to make up for it from Song Dynasty? ?

What's more, although he is now vigorously promoting the self-improvement of men and guarding against foreign invaders among the people, he still cooperates with Mongolia officially. With this name, he can also go to the Kingdom of Jin.

However, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were weak chickens with little authority. Although Zhao Yun was working hard to cultivate his confidantes, it was still different from the style of the later Ming and Qing Dynasties when ministers all knelt down and called your majesty [ba] It's very big, so, as usual, he needs to convince the prime minister first. If the Zhengshitang approves his will, ordinary ministers' questions are useless.

At this time, it is necessary to see the importance of the proportion of the emperor's confidants and the main combat faction among the prime ministers.

Zhao Yun: Xuan does not save Fei, but Krypton can change one's life and perform miracles vigorously. As long as the skill is deep and the iron pestle is ground into a needle, isn't it that you can't do whatever you want for the time being, I will bear it!

Zhao Yun has already made many preparations for deviant in the future, but the most important military power has not yet been in his own hands, and his prestige has not been established, so he can still bear it temporarily.

Huaxia has always been famous for its emphasis on war. Since Mongolia has been seriously injured this time, the most important thing is the loss of population, then Zhao Yun can also wait for a while, so that the internal affairs he has governed in the past few years will show results. There are often frictions on the border, and when he thinks the time is right, then the two sides will start fighting.

Zhao Yun: Oh, I'm becoming more and more like a big villain!

In the third year of Duanping, due to the issuance of the Bingxu Edict, the number of people joining the army reached a new high, and a real problem was revealed in front of people-the field.

The original land can be obtained by convicting officials and gentry related to crimes and opening up new land. Completely declaring insufficient supply, not to mention trying to correct the financial system damaged by Shi Miyuan and increasing the purchasing power of currency, also offended some vested interests when restoring the interests of the people and the credibility of the imperial court.

Fortunately for Zhao Yun, when the court dolls complained, they did not criticize his harem.

His eighth son has just been named Zhao Yi, and the sixth son is one year old, and then he will be granted the title of Jiedu Envoy of the Wu'an Army and Duke of Yi as usual, and the children are all healthy. It can be said that he has a lot of heirs. However, from the other side, he is addicted to the beauty of the harem. Fortunately, he favors the harem and arranges the schedule according to the measured menstrual period, and gives himself a rest time in the middle, like this every month, no one else It would be too much for the harem to accuse him.

What's more, in addition to physical fitness, stress and living environment, the emperors of the Song Dynasty had a very important reason for their short lifespan: indulgence. The obvious exception was Gaozong Zhao Gou who "had a hidden disease" due to an accident. He lived to be 80 years old. , is a rare longevity emperor in Chinese history.

Zhao Yun thought he was a diligent emperor, and compared with previous emperors, he was already the type who could control himself.

Soon, Zhao Yun found a reason, using the excuse of Jin Guo to attack at night, killed a group of Song border troops, and formally started war with Jin Guo.

The Xiangyang Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty is also considered an important place for military strategists. Xiangyang Mansion is facing the Bianjing Road of the Kingdom of Jin, which is the old capital of the Great Song Dynasty and the current capital of the Kingdom of Jin.

If the year is pushed back a little bit, or if the Mongolian offensive is a bit more violent, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin will be transferred to Caizhou, which is the place that Zhao Yun is expected to occupy, and it is closer to the current territory of the Song Dynasty than Bianjing .

In any case, the proximity of Song and Jin is not bad. If the emperor of Jin is unwilling to "Beishu" and move the capital, then when Bianjing Road is breached, tsk tsk, Jin will fall into a leaderless situation.

Zhao Yun, who was very confident in the new weapons and the newly trained Song army, was happily waiting for the good news in Lin'an, and then got two pieces of news.

First, Emperor Jin led his officials to make a north tour—in popular terms, they fled—and Song Dynasty successfully occupied Bianjing Road, and captured a group of nobles from the Kingdom of Jin who were too late to escape; "Finally going north, the Han people in the Kingdom of Jin responded in groups. In short, a group of Han people in the Kingdom of Jin rose up in the name of responding to Master Wang. Zhao Yun had to figure out how to deal with the specific situation.

These two situations were within Zhao Yun's expectations, but what he cared most about was not these two problems, but the problems exposed by Song Bing in this battle.

Siege warfare is very powerful, but let's not talk about whether the new weapons can be improved to the point where they can be used with the army-at present, the possibility is still very high-the cavalry of the Song Dynasty is more powerful than these peoples who grow on horseback. Up, it is still a short board.

In the eyes of the courtiers, it is a great thing to fight against the Kingdom of Jin. The fact that the army has finally won the fight, in Zhao Yun's view, has already exposed the problem of the cavalry of the Song Dynasty——King of Jin After so many years of Sinicization, compared with their ancestors and Mongolia, which is now in the limelight, they have become a proper second-level disability in terms of riding and archery!

Ah, although there are no good training objects and methods, the most important thing is that there were no good horses before. Even now, there are not many good horses that can form cavalry, but Zhao Yun doesn't think so, he has already I have worked so hard to activate my innate skills, and I have seen the horse breeds, so there is no problem, so it must be that the cavalry is not trained enough, the standards are not strict, and the number is not large!

If the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty were large, they would be able to attack long distances, instead of watching the Jin Emperor patrol the north.

Mastering the cavalry means mastering the initiative. Although the infantry is good, it is good for defending the city, but it is not good for attacking and rushing.

In any case, this is also a great victory. It is a great achievement to force Emperor Jin to lead all the ministers to the north. say what.

The Jin and Song Dynasties are feuds, and everyone is very happy about this big victory.

Although they were on a northern tour, the Kingdom of Jin only occupied the northern part of China, and with Mongolia stalking the outside, there were not many places where they could escape.

A group of frontier troops escorted the prisoners back to the country, while another group of troops were still fighting in the territory of the Kingdom of Jin.

The mausoleums of the former emperors in the Northern Song Dynasty were all within the territory of the Kingdom of Jin. Almost all the high-ranking officials and royal families in the Southern Song Dynasty knew about the tragic state of the tombs.

Now that Song Dynasty has the opportunity and ability to take revenge, and puts on the banner of avenging the Song and Jin vengeance, coupled with the fact that the Song Dynasty now needs land to a certain extent, Zhao Yun can only apply a sentence from later generations. Situation to a clear conclusion: your country pill.

How long does it take for a country to fall?

It took two years for Mongolia to destroy Xixia—this is a country whose land area is one-tenth that of the Southern Song Dynasty or the Kingdom of Jin—and it took four years for Mongolia to officially destroy the Kingdom of Jin. It took two years to get the land of the Kingdom of Jin.

In addition to the old land reserved by the Jin people, the cities where the Han people lived together can be said to have fallen on the wind.

In the fifth year of Duanping, the Jin Dynasty died in the Song Dynasty, and Xue Jingkang was ashamed. The emperor issued an edict to change Yuan Zhaowu next year.

Although it was a feud, the people of Song Dynasty always paid attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality. When the Jin people captured the two emperors of Qinhui, they did not kill them directly-although the death method of sitting in a well and watching the sky is really no different from killing people with blunt knives, not to mention The Jin people also humiliated the emperors and concubines they captured, which is abhorrent—so when Zhao Yun saw the subjugated nobles of the Jin Kingdom, he just asked people to choose a place to house them.

In order to appease the hearts of those Jurchen aristocrats who were deeply sinicized and kind to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yun borrowed from the practice of Mongolia in history and announced that, except for the Wanyan family, anyone who is proficient in Sinology and willing to serve the Song Dynasty, Can participate in the imperial examination to receive official positions.

Of course, these Jurchen aristocrats have to change their Chinese surnames and use Chinese names, and learn from the Tuoba clan of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period to completely Sinicize.

The so-called scholarly rebellion will fail in three years. As long as those people are not allowed to have the opportunity to hold military power, and let them take the imperial examination to increase their sense of belonging, it is not impossible to appoint talented people.

Well, anyway, the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin are almost abolished, so let them completely abandon the "glory" of their ancestors who grew up on horseback. Maybe this is a good thing?

In Mongolia, Wo Kuotai and his younger brother Tuo Lei have been fighting for several years—in any case, it is longer than the two years that Wo Kuotai, the heir of Wo Kuotai, waited for the conference to be held in history—and when Tuo Lei returned the power of supervising the country to him, After he almost gained power, the battle between Song and Jin was over.

In order to avoid the terrible plague, Wo Kuotai, Tuo Lei and others had to lead an army westward for a long time: I have a sentence mmp that I must say.

Taking his military exploits in the fight against Mongolia as a bargaining chip for promotion, Zhao Yun dispatched the original Jin army first.

Well, although it is okay to let these ordinary golden people live as slaves, this way of giving them hope and making them work hard is indeed the most harmonious.

Zhao Yun is very confident in the troops under his command. He didn't simply use the original troops of the Jin people as consumables. Anyway, there are also many Han people in there. Song Jun and them will also change defenses. He just thinks that The fighting spirit of the Jin army for the future will infect others.

Of course, their riding and archery skills can still be trusted because of the sufficient source of horses and the family background of some people.

Mongolian Army: When did the little white rabbit become a big bad wolf?

And Zhao Yun, who had already moved his hands and feet in the rear of the Mongolian army, was not worried about the situation of the Song army at all.

If both Wo Kuotai and Tuo Lei died on the battlefield, and the representative factions behind them began to scramble for power, it would be too disappointing if the front line could not be defeated!

In the second year of Zhaowu, the Mongols withdrew their troops and marched westward again under the leadership of Batu, the son of Jochi. It seemed that the threat of Mongolia had gone away from the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was once again unified, which is really touching.

Zhao Yun, who didn't want to stop there: Although the lines are old-fashioned, but... our goal is the stars and the sea!

Well, let's set a small goal now. It seems like a good idea to follow the route of Mongolia's westward expedition, slowly cut off their retreat, and build a huge empire spanning three continents!

Hasn’t Mongolia, which has been subjugated for 41 years, already wiped out all other targets for us?

The prime ministers who called out sadly in the political affairs hall: Officials, do you still remember what the settings of our Great Song Dynasty and the officials of the past dynasties are!
