Chapter 1 Quick Battle
True gold’s distress is not caused by oneself, but by the legacy left by our ancestors. As the saying goes: Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are organized, there are line disputes and factional conflicts.
The same was true for the Mongols. When Genghis Khan had just established the Mongolian Khanate, in fact, this country, like the Huns and Turks in the past, was based on a nomadic empire with a huge tribe that was sufficient to control other tribes. However, unlike the Huns and Turks, when Genghis Khan unified the various tribes on the grassland, in addition to military conquest, he also largely used the shamanism of the time to establish the Borjijin family, which was a higher position in military, political, and religious terms, namely the "Golden Family".
However, even though Genghis Khan and his family had a better ruling foundation than those rulers of the past, they were powerless and had no intention of changing the economic status of the Mongols and establishing a bureaucratic class that could govern the entire grassland. Therefore, Genghis Khan's rule of each tribe is actually very simple and crude, which is to break up the Mongolian grassland tribes with different original cultures, religions, and even the Mongolian grassland tribes with different origins and then form groups. Then Genghis Khan's relatives and generals are the same as the new tribes.
Under this policy, the Mongolian Khanate formed many royal areas, and called the Mongolian kings and nobles who were enfeoffed in the Han area in the south of the desert to the East Road Kings and nobles who were enfeoffed in Central Asia, Eastern Europe and other areas to be called the Western Road Kings and also called the left-wing Mongolia and right-wing Mongolia. After Genghis Khan's death, Tolei reigned the country and inherited most of its army and heritage. The left-wing Mongolia and the right-wing Mongolia belonged to the Torre family, with more than a hundred and a thousand households in total, forming the main body of the Mongolian tribes. Apart from the left-wing Mongolian tribes, they were separated by the Mongolian tribes.
Ogedei ascended the throne with the support of Cheng Siji Khan and Chagatai and others. Although he sat on the throne of the Khan, he felt very uncomfortable when he saw his troops. His direct troops were only four Mongolian families, which were not as good as the leader of the Torre family. He knew that with this little force, he could not hold the position of the Khan, so he quickly reorganized the Khan army, kicked the Chi Lao Wen family out of the Khan team, directly under the control of one Khan, and arranged sixty or seventy close confidants to the Khan army to take power.
At the same time, Ogedei also formed the Red Army of the Ma, treating the left-wing Mongolian tribes under Torre as the main force for recruitment. Most of the commanders of these tribes were served by the soldiers of the Qiexue Army, and formed the tradition of left-wing Mongolia stationed in the Han area. After Torere's death, the Ogedei family firmly sat on the throne of Khan. However, the feng shui changed. With Guiyu's death, Mongge of the Torrei clan once again ascended the throne of Khan, and he was also the last Khan who could dispatch all Mongolian forces.
After Mongge's death, Kublai Khan and Alibuge competed for the Khan throne. The left-wing Mongolian tribes were stationed in the Han area for a long time and had close ties with Kublai Khan's highest military and political chief in the Han area, so they became his hard-core supporters. Zalar, Hongjila, Yiqilesi, Mungu, and Wulu were the main body of left-wing Mongolia and had long become the five-header directed by the Yuan Dynasty royal family. In addition, the Zalar tribe where the Muhuali family is located is also in left-wing Mongolia, and the Urianha tribe, the descendants of Subutai, is also the pillar of left-wing Mongolia.
The right-wing Mongolia supported Alibuge, and most of the Qyxue army were on their side. However, although Borhu, the descendants of Borhu were all in the right-wing Mongolia, their relationship with Alibuge was not good. The fief was sent by Alibuge, so they turned to Kublai Khan. However, Alibuge was still confident and thought that he could win the Khan throne with the support of the right-wing Mongolia, and the fight between brothers also marked the official breakup of the left and right wings of Mongolia.
Originally, left-wing Mongolia and right-wing Mongolia were one, and everyone was still relatives. They didn't want to fight each other, but just fought Taiping fist. But Kublai Khan brought the Han army to the grassland. The Han army, dominated by the Han army, raided the right-wing Mongolians. The Han soldiers and Mongolians were not relatives, so naturally they did not care about it. They killed the right-wing Mongolians without any mercy and directly defeated the right-wing Mongolians and fled. While sending the Han army to fight, Kublai Khan also imposed a food ban on the Mongolian grasslands, leaving the right-wing Mongolians in hunger.
Because Alibuge failed to regain enough food from Central Asia, under the threat of death, the right-wing Mongolia had to surrender to Kublai Khan, but they still regarded him as traitors. The left-wing Mongolians helped Kublai Khan, and all the tribal leaders had titles of princes, and they all obtained fiefs from the Han territory. Their family background was generally higher than that of the right-wing Mongolians. Moreover, the left-wing Mongolian originated in the Mongolian Yuan was also a reliable synonym, and they were far better than the right-wing Mongolians in promotion and wealth.
When Kublai Khan sent troops to destroy the Song Dynasty, some of the right-wing Mongolian tribes who had been holding back their fire raided Shangdu and Lin. Kublai Khan's fourth son Namuhan and Prime Minister Antong were captured. After that, the right-wing Mongolians not only helped Haidu fight with Kublai Khan, but also directly joined Haidu. Naturally, they could not trust the right-wing Mongolian Kublai Khan who surrendered, and were worried that they would cause trouble in the Gyeonggi area. They were worried that they would cause trouble and were released to the north of the Modu and were afraid that they would go to Haidu, so they placed them on the grassland near the Gyeonggi. If something happened, they could quickly dispatch troops to suppress them.
After Zhen Jin succeeded to the throne, he was naturally wary of these right-wing Mongolian tribes, but due to the loss of Jiangnan, it led to financial difficulties. He gave less rewards to the "exiled" right-wing Mongolia, and his control continued to decline. This time, they recruited them to reinforce the battlefield in Xuzhou to use them as cannon fodder and eliminate their confidants. He even extorted a huge sum of money by them...
"Khan, Suzhou is a great victory. Our army sent troops from Fuli to the rear camp of the Song army a hundred miles away, burning all the food, grass and supplies. The young emperor of the Southern Dynasty fled with Chuang!" Yue Chi Chaer immediately stepped forward to report.
"The Southern Dynasty emperor was injured, and all the food and supplies were lost. Is this news accurate?" Since the war started, his side has suffered consecutive losses. When he heard the good news, the real gold was a little unbelievable. He asked with depression and excitement.
"Reported to the Great Khan, the documents were signed by the commander of the Han army commander Tu Tuha and Daruhuachi He Weixian. This battle was planned by He Weixian and personally led the troops to raid the camp behind the Southern Army. In this battle, less than 20% of the five thousand troops returned, and they were all dead and almost trapped in the Song camp. Moreover, he had been in Qiexue for many years and was loyal to serving the Great Khan, so the good news should be credible." Yue Chi Chaer replied.
"Well, the clan served his father Khan for three generations and made many achievements, and was loyal to me, Dayuan. He was in Qixue. I only knew that he was concise in his writing skills, but I didn't know that he could still command troops. In this way, this battle was a victory!" Zhenjin nodded and said with great relief.
"That is, now that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is injured and the food and supplies are lost. It is a time of panic that our army should launch a counterattack as soon as possible to avoid the Southern Army from replenishing supplies!" Yue Chi Cha'er said.
"Yes, please summon the left prime minister, Ping Zhang and other important officials to the palace to discuss matters!" Zhen Jin Yan said.
"The Khan is wise!" Yue Chi Cha'er politely said.
"Where have the two troops of Yuechi Cha'er, Kaiping County Prince and Baochang County Prince have arrived?" Zhen Jin asked while waiting.
"Khan, they arrived in Dezhou five days ago and received an order to return assistance. This morning, they received a report from the station that they had arrived in Nanpi!" Yue Chi Chaer was in charge of the affairs of the Privy Council and was very clear about this. After thinking about it for a moment, he replied.
"In five days, the march was only more than a hundred miles. They were deliberately delaying!" Zhen Jin said angrily after hearing this.
"They were not willing to go quickly because they lacked food and grass and needed to raise them. But now is the time to use people. Everything is to protect the capital. It is better not to worry about them. I have urged them to return quickly in the name of the Privy Council. If I want to return, I will return to Beijing if I want to!" Yue Chi Cha'er poured a cup of tea for the Khan and said.
"Meet the Khan!" At this time, several ministers who were called came to the temple to pay homage.
"The Khan, the Prince of Kaiping and the Prince of Baochang, were in the name of raising food and grass. When they left the capital, they blackmailed the prefectures and counties along the way to provide food and grass. If there were fewer, they would plunder the troops. The officials and people from all over the country were in great suffering. On the way back, they asked again. The granaries of local prefectures and counties had already been empty and could only force the people to recruit them. Many places had triggered civil unrest and gathered people to resist. The Khan also asked the Khan to understand the sufferings of the people and issue orders to severely punish them to calm the hearts of the people!" Li Qian had heard what the two said, but did not stand up after saying goodbye, but instead made a speech.
"Oh, there is such a thing!" Zhen Jin heard this and looked at Yue Chi Cha'er with a bad look.
"This is just a small matter. How dare you disturb the Khan? What kind of storm can cause trouble for a few riots? Now the Southern Army has already dominated the city, and everything needs to be put first. Don't stir up a mutiny, which will lead to major events!" Yue Chi Cha'er quickly said. He is a descendant of Borhu, and naturally comes from right-wing Mongolia, so he naturally needs to protect his tribe members.
"The local people are changing one after another, at least hundreds, and thousands gather in the mountains and forests to fight against the government. Is it just a little bit of a matter in the eyes of the Privy Councilor?" Li Qian asked angrily.
"Pingzhang, the enemy is facing the enemy. Everything must be done. Do not have a dispute over this and make the matter misleading!" Seeing the two of them facing each other coldly, Brother Sang hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him.
"Sir, don't be impatient. What Yue Chi Cha'er said is not unreasonable. The current main task is to repel the attack of the Southern Dynasty." Zhen Jin thought to suppress the anger in his heart and waved his hand. "Just just now, the good news came from the front. Our Suzhou victory rushed to the rear camp of the Southern Army, injured the Nan Dynasty's young emperor, and burned all his food, grass and supplies. The enemy was already in panic. How our army took this opportunity to defeat the enemy? We must make a decision early. What are your good strategies?"
