Dabai Gaoguo (Western Xia), in the spring of the second year of Zhengde, Xingqing Fucheng.
This castle, located on a narrow and fertile plain between the Helan Mountains and the Yellow River, was called the Western Thieves by the Song Dynasty. They called themselves the Western Dynasty or Dabai Gao Kingdom, and later history books also called it the Xixia Dangxiang tribal separatist regime. capital.
The precipitous Helan Mountains and the surging Yellow River, as well as the vast Gobi desert to the west of the Helan Mountains and the east of the Yellow River, protect this capital of the Great White Kingdom layer by layer, making it extremely difficult for foreign enemies to attack - if If the Song army wanted to launch an attack from the east, they had to cross the vast Gobi Desert and then break through the roaring Yellow River.
The desert east of the Yellow River is very hot in summer and too dry in winter, making it difficult to pass through. It can only be visited in spring and autumn. But the Yellow River does not freeze in spring and autumn. What should we do when we get to the bank of the Yellow River? In order to prevent the Song army from cutting down trees to build ships, the court of Dabai Gao Kingdom sent people across the river to cut down trees every year. Let alone boats, it is hard to see trees on the east bank of the Yellow River...
Therefore, since the founding of the Dabai Gao Kingdom with its capital in Xingqing Mansion, their capital Xingqing Mansion has never been threatened by Da Bai Gao Kingdom’s mortal enemy, the Song Dynasty!
The plains around Xingqing Mansion, nourished by the melting snow of Helan Mountain and the water of the Yellow River, are extremely rich and can support the nobles and troops of the Dabai Gao Kingdom living in Xingqing Mansion City. Compared with most of the barren and arid land in Dabai Gao Kingdom, the area around Xingqing Mansion is truly paradise-like.
However, this "paradise" also has shortcomings, that is, it is too remote. It is not easy for the enemy to come over, and it is also very difficult for Dabai Gaoguo to fight out. The army starting from Xingqing Prefecture had to cross the vast Gobi desert to reach the Hengshan front line, and they could not carry much food.
Therefore, in addition to the rations they carry with them, the Dabai Gao Kingdom's expeditionary force can only obtain some supplies from several barren and arid states at the northern foot of Hengshan... But the Hengshan tribes living there eat them themselves. If we are not full, how much food can we provide to the army?
Therefore, in Dabai Gao's previous eastern expeditions, as long as there was no way to grab food and drink from the land of the Song Dynasty, they could only retreat after more than twenty days when the food was exhausted.
Since they could not get much food from the Hengshan tribe, they could not establish a supply line across the desert.
Therefore, the Eastern Expedition Army of Dabai Gao Kingdom often had to carry a large number of auxiliary troops responsible for transporting supplies. Each Eastern Expedition was carried out with great fanfare... but it was difficult to last. Often after a fierce attack was frustrated, they had to fight back. The government is over.
After understanding this weakness of the Dabai Gao Kingdom, the Western Army of the Song Dynasty is no longer afraid of the massive attack of the Dabai Gao Kingdom... No matter you have hundreds of thousands of people, we only need to hold on to the dangerous points, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and we will delay them. It's over.
And a futile attack would be a huge drain on the limited national strength of the Dabai Gao Kingdom!
Therefore, after Weiming Yuanhao's death, until the Song Dynasty encountered the disaster of Xuanhe, the eastern and southern territories of the Dabai Gao Kingdom were continuously encroached by the Song Dynasty... If it were not for the national policy of the Song Dynasty, it would often be due to the death of the emperor or the emperor. Major changes occurred due to hot-headedness, and major omissions often occurred in combat command. It is difficult to say whether the Great White and Gao Congress will destroy all the states at the northern foot of Hengshan Mountain.
The current unruly soldier in the Dabai Gao Kingdom is named Qianshun. It is the expansion policy of his mother, Queen Mother Xiaoliang, who encountered strong resistance from Emperor Zhezong of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu, Prime Minister Zhang Dun, and the rare commander-in-chief Zhang Kai who knew soldiers and was good at fighting. He took over the mess at the risk of losing his life.
Because of his mother's lessons and the decline of Gao Bai's national and military power, Weiming Qianshun adopted a prudent national policy of clinging to the Liao and defending the Song Dynasty after he came to power... Finally, he survived the Song Dynasty's peace war. It's time!
Having been bullied for half his life by brothers Zhao Xu and Zhao Ji, the fourth generation of Dabai Gao Kingdom's Wu Ming Qianshun finally saw the opportunity to open up new territories... Speaking of which, this man ascended the throne at the age of three and became the king at the age of sixteen. The king who has been in power for twenty-eight years really wants to cheer up!
You can see what he was thinking when you look at the first reign name he chose after he came to power, which was Zhenguan... It took him thirteen years to change this reign name to Yongning (synonymous with mediocrity, probably It’s acceptance of fate). But just when Weiming Ganshun finally realized that he was a mediocre person and could only live happily, an opportunity to open up new territories and revitalize the Great White Kingdom suddenly appeared in front of him!
The half-dead big brother Daliao finally died and was replaced by a new big brother Dajin who is particularly capable of fighting! Not long after Dabai Gaoguo embraced his new thick and strong thighs, Zhao Ji, the bad guy next door who always bullied Qian Shun, also got his evil reward... He was actually beaten to the door of his house by "Brother Jin" , and even beat him to death!
What made Qian Shun even more excited was that the Song Dynasty actually split after the death of Song Zhuangzong Zhao Ji... The brothers were fighting against each other, and the east and west were in opposition!
The Jin Dynasty is attacking from outside, the brothers are fighting within, and the Song Dynasty is about to be finished!
After confirming that the Song Dynasty was about to end, Weiming Qianshun was ready to send troops - in fact, he had already sent troops once in the eighth year of Yuande, which was the eighth year of Xuanhe of the Song Dynasty. At that time, he took advantage of the Song Dynasty's Western Army's large-scale eastward advance and captured some cities controlled by the Song Army along Hengshan. He also sent troops to besiege Tiandu Village in Xi'an Prefecture in the Song Dynasty, hoping to regain this important place that was left in the hands of his mother.
But just when he was about to succeed in besieging Tiandu Village, bad news came from Hedong... The arrogant Dajin Heavenly Soldiers actually lost the battle in Hedong and retreated!
Weiming Ganshun was frightened by this. When the Liao Kingdom was about to be destroyed, he sent troops to support it, but the Jin soldiers almost destroyed the entire army!
Such a powerful Jin army was defeated by the Song army... How could Weiming Qianshun dare to attack Tiandu Mountain? So he quickly retreated. And soon after returning to Xingqing Mansion, I got the news of Zhao Ji's defeat and death and Zhao Kai's "reopening of the Song Dynasty"!
After getting the news, Weiming Qianshun was so regretful!
Such a good opportunity was actually given up by him!
So he decided to send out troops to attack the Song Dynasty again in the first year of Zhengde... Since he had not succeeded in attacking Tiandu Mountain before and only captured a few cottages with little oil and water, he could not get enough food at once, so he had to wait until the autumn harvest before attacking again. .
But after the autumn harvest, when the army led by Qian Shun's brother-in-law Du Tongjun and Jin Wang Wemingcha Ge had just arrived in Weizhou and had not yet begun to invade Xi'an Prefecture, bad news came again... Wanyan Zonghan's 100,000 troops seemed to have been washed away by the flood on the Jingxi Road battlefield. I don't know where they went?
Now Wei Ming Qianshun was intimidated again - Wanyan Zonghan had already pounced, how could he still dare to fight Zhao Kai? So once again, it started but ended, and the troops were withdrawn without even entering the territory of the army.
After two attempts, Wei Ming Qian Shun's dream of revitalizing Dabai Gao Kingdom has almost come to an end. Just when he was about to be a coward for the rest of his life, Xiao Zhonggong, the angel of the Kingdom of Jin, came and brought an imperial edict that excited the kings and ministers of the Kingdom of Dabai and Gao!
Weiming Qianshun and Dabai Gaoguo must continue to dream!
Because the Dajin Kingdom has now made up its mind to raise millions of troops to fight Zhao Kai... Dabai Gaoguo is a vassal state of Dajin and must participate in this expedition, and it will also send 400,000 troops - - Forty percent of the million-strong army must be provided by Dabai Gaoguo!
But will Dabai Gaoguo follow this time?
After settling the Dajin envoys, Wuzu Weiming Qianshun convened a group of important ministers to hold a court meeting in the palace of Xingqing Mansion to discuss the war with Song Dynasty.
"The emperor of the Kingdom of Jin wants to personally conquer the Song Dynasty... He also plans to raise a five-pronged army of one million to attack the Song Dynasty! He also asked us, the Dabai Gao Kingdom, to contribute 400,000 of them, and to bear the offensive of Shaanxi and Longyou! Let’s all talk about it, what should we do?”
The middle-aged man who is talking is Weiming Ganshun. He has just turned forty this year. He has been pampered and well-maintained all his life. He looks like he is only in his thirties. He should be an age where he can make a lot of achievements, but now he is looking gloomy. dismal.
"Wuzi, we must send troops! Otherwise, what will happen if the Jurchens come to attack us instead of attacking Zhao Kai?"
The first person to come out of the class to play was the general Li Liangfu who once led 30,000 elite troops to rescue Yelu Yanxi, but returned with a huge defeat.
This Li Liangfu is the chief of the Dangxiang tribe, and Li is a given surname - the royal family of the Dabai Gao Kingdom was originally given the surname Li by the Tang Dynasty, but later Yuan Hao became the emperor and looked down on the surname Li, so he changed his name to Wei. The so-called royal family all adopted the surname Wei. But I don’t know why, when the soldiers of Dabai Gao Kingdom gave people the national surname, they still gave them the surname Li.
Because he had suffered heavy casualties after being beaten by the Jurchens, Li Liangfu has now become a complete fear of gold and pro-Golden faction.
He plausibly said: "Our country's attack on the Song Dynasty from the Jin Dynasty will be invincible at most, but there is no danger of national subjugation. Because the Song Dynasty people cannot expedition and cannot cross the Gobi, the most they can do is attack Weizhou and Lingzhou from the south. The defenses of these two capitals are strong and can last for a long time. Moreover, Lingzhou is in danger of the Yellow River. At worst, it will break the embankments and release water to repel the enemy!
The Jin soldiers can leave the Tiande Army, take the Heishan Military Division, and go down to Xingqing Mansion along the Yellow River! "
Xingqing Mansion is not afraid of enemies coming from the west, south and east, but the north is empty. Especially for enemies with certain nomadic abilities, they can herd sheep and horses in the prairie of Heishan Military Division (later known as the Hetao Reclamation Area). After the sheep are fat and the horses are strong, they can march more than 200 miles south along the Yellow River to Xingqing. The plain where the mansion is located.
"Hmph, we are not afraid of the Jin soldiers going south to Xingqing Mansion! How many Jin soldiers can come? Will they last? Will they leave Song alone?"
Weiming Ganshun's concubine brother Weiming Chage looked much more fierce and powerful than his younger brother, and he was not so afraid of the Jin soldiers. However, he still advocated war against Song Dynasty. He said to his brother calmly, "Wuzhu, we can't Don't underestimate Zhao Kai. He has already made Wanyan Zonghan suffer twice... There is no guarantee that there will not be a third time. This is not a fluke!
If we sit back and watch the dispute between Song and Jin now, and wait until he really drives the Jin soldiers out of the Central Plains, will we know that the Gao Kingdom will still exist? We have to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and we have to cheer up... Only by cooperating with the Jin Kingdom to defeat the Song Dynasty, and take over the lands of Longyou and Fengxiang, and even the entire Guanzhong, can we understand that the Gao Kingdom can stand firm in this troubled world. !
