The butterfly flapped its wings, and waves also arose. Although the grassland sect kings who entered the Mongolian embassy seemed to be one, they were actually full of conflicts, especially after the death of the real gold, the strategy he formulated gradually collapsed and it was difficult to continue to be implemented. The tension in the court's finances forced Tiemuer to delegate power and let the sect kings raise their own money to support their soldiers.

Once the evil example is opened, it is difficult to deal with. Temporary peace has also made the sect kings lose their common enemies and can concentrate on seizing power and seeking money. It makes the sect kings abuse their power and difficult to control local prefectures. Although the territory has not been broken, it also makes the kings more afraid of the imperial power, especially when Tie Muer was afraid of Song Ruhu last year and dared not return to the capital, which made them even more despise the court.

The current situation in Pei County seems to be just a battle for a tax and a dispute between the two. In fact, it is indeed a dispute over power. It only controls most of the territory of Shandong, but the canal flows through the section from Xuzhou to Pei County, and most of it is in the jurisdiction of King Chahan Timur of Jining, which makes it difficult to seek more benefits from it.

Chahan Timur controls the canal from Dongping to Pei County, which is only longer than the inside, so he can set up taxes in many places and collect more taxes. But it is not satisfied, because the tentative site is set up in Xuzhou, and goods entering and leaving the Mongolian Yuan must be completed here. Therefore, this is not only a hub for transactions between Mongolia and Song dynasties, but also a high value, and a maximum benefit obtained.

At that time, the real gold divides the jurisdiction of the kings and has been considered by many parties. In addition to military convenience, they also have the idea of ​​letting them balance each other. After all, if the kings are single, it will be enough to threaten the security of the capital. If there is constant friction between them, the court will need to mediate from it and hold them in their palms.

So when the real gold divided the jurisdiction, it deliberately adjusted the traditional territory, causing their jurisdiction to interweave and penetrate each other. Of course, the emperor also had several poor relatives, especially in the family-style rule of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, so he had to take care of it when dividing it, especially when the queen Kuokuozhen was involved in it in the later period, which caused a rift between the kings to arise.

The canal borrowed a section of Jihe River channel northward. Chahan Timur bribed Fang Chenyou and persuaded Kuokuozhen. His ancestor was Temujin's fourth brother Temuge Ochijin, who was quite strong. So he also divided Dongping Road into his jurisdiction and cut it out from Jinan Prefecture Road.

Of course, he was also a very powerful person in the country. He was also from the Borjijin clan of Mongolia. His ancestors were Hechiwen, his brother of Temujin, and his roots were also deep. Of course, he also took advantage of the fiefdom area, controlled the most fertile plain area in Shandong, and the east was close to the sea, so he could engage in maritime trade, which was not considered unfair to him.

He only counts that he is still a serious relative with Chahan Timur, but it is hard to say about his interests. He only wants to take Dongping Road under his jurisdiction, while Chahan Timur covets the Xuzhou section of the canal, and both want to annex the other side. As the court's control declines, the conflict between the two has finally evolved from a small-scale friction to a war...

Neither side is an isolated existence. Everyone has a relative of three relatives, and behind them are their own interest groups. Seeing that the two were about to fight, they either supported them, secretly sent troops to help the war, or came forward to mediate. Therefore, as Zhao Bing expected, a big fight was impossible and could not be fought, but it made the contradiction open.

At present, the Mongol Yuan court only sent envoys to mediate, but their official ranks and prestige were not high, so how could they suppress the two sect kings? So when they came, it was equivalent to not coming, which only showed the attitude of the court. Some people in the court hoped that they would make a bigger fuss so that they could make profits from it, and even led to a new change in the pattern.

As for Zhao Bing, he also hopes that they will continue to make trouble. At least once the war begins in the Mongolian Song Dynasty, it is hard to say whether they can support each other. He is not idle either. He takes advantage of the opportunity to hide weapons, equipment and supplies in the canal ship to send them to the front line. The two of them are fighting in a hurry, so naturally they don’t have to worry about surveillance, so he can complete the war preparations in concealment.

However, it is a major event between the two countries. It is not only about mutual communication, but also when the tribute of the Yuan Dynasty was collected. The current battle between the two has led to the closure of the canal and the inability to navigate, and the merchant ships were stranded. Zhao Bing naturally had to speak out. As the discussion was about to begin in May, the Song court issued a warning that if the canal was closed, the Song Dynasty would close the venue and would raise troops to punish those who destroyed the peace talks.

Some of the ridiculous things are that these sect kings do not listen to the court, but are afraid that the Song Dynasty will be punished, so the kings use this to threaten to persuade the two to stop the army and open the canal. Local gentry jointly persuaded each other, willing to donate money and grain to make up for their respective losses to avoid war. This result was somewhat beyond Zhao Bing's expectations, but it was in their respective interests to think about it.

From a general perspective, since Mongolia replaced the Liao and Jin dynasties, the concept of Song as the righteous has been indifferent in the north for a long time, so it is difficult to have much political appeal to restore the call of the Song Dynasty. The Han people saw the combat capabilities of the Mongolian army with their own eyes, and the kings also realized the complex situation of balanced strength and restraining each other, so they were satisfied with the real power and status of separating one side under the rule of the Khan.

Among the highest ruling group of Mongolia, the new Khan lacked the ambition of making progress and expanding territory in all dynasties. It was indeed not the Khan who was most in line with their interests. However, Tiemur was considered a founding monarch by the Han ministers, which was easy to control, and in time, it would not only achieve sinicization. However, the Khan's weakness was beneficial to them and could do whatever they wanted in their respective jurisdictions.

Therefore, although these sect kings may have rude remarks about the government's affairs in their daily private discussions, if they are not fully sure, they will never easily raise troops to fight against the court. And they know that they are not a monolithic and have complex relationships. If they really fight against the court, others will not only not support it, but will lead troops to participate in the encirclement and suppression of them under the supervision of the court.

All the kings also understand that the Khan position is not something that everyone can sit. Even if they usurp the Khan position, they will not be recognized and supported by others. By putting the bet of success completely on unrealistic fantasies and leading themselves to a dead end of sitting and waiting to die, it would be better to maintain the status quo and be a local emperor.

In addition, the court was not only a place for trade and transactions between the two countries, but also one of the important sources of income for the Mongolian Yuan court. Silk, tea, exquisite porcelain, spices, gold and silver jewelry from Jiangnan were sold by the imperial court. Especially after the loss of maritime trade, the channels for the Mongolian Yuan to obtain these things from the outside world were basically cut off.

However, the prosperity of maritime trade in the Song Dynasty was easily obtained, and the court became an important source of luxury goods for the Mongol Yuan powerful people. They could also sell these things at a higher price to the farther north and make huge profits through the Western Regions to Central Asia. Of course, trade between the two countries was also an important way for the powerful people in the Korean and Chinese to make money. They could sell horses, fur and medicinal materials to the Southern Dynasty with justification.

Of course, Yezheli and Chahan Timur also knew that they had cut off the waterway for a long time. They not only offended the court and the Khan, but also infringed on the interests of many powerful people. If they really aroused public anger, their fate would not be good. Seeing that there were steps to go down, they accepted mediation from all parties, and temporarily stopped the troops and reopened the waterway.

The trade was going on normally, but Zhao Bing was not very happy, so he let go of his back.

In history, Shandong, due to its complex terrain and is located in the core of the Central Plains, many famous horses have emerged here, and they have done many earth-shaking "big things".

During the Xinmang period, a huge peasant uprising broke out in Shandong. The name of the uprising army was - Red Eyebrow. The Red Eyebrow Army and the Green Forest Army overthrew Wang Mang's rule. Later, the Red Eyebrow Army eliminated the Gengshi regime established by the Green Forest Army. However, the Red Eyebrow Army did not reach the end, and they were destroyed by Liu Xiu, who rose up later.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, another vigorous "Yellow Turban Rebellion" broke out in Shandong. The Yellow Turban Army became the last straw for the decadent Eastern Han court. Although they were eventually suppressed by warlords, the continued resistance of the Yellow Turban Army still had a huge impact on the formation of the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao's origins were thanks to the 300,000 "Qingzhou soldiers" composed of prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the "Wagang Uprising" broke out here. Countless Shandong heroes rose up and gathered troops to fight against the Sui Dynasty, establishing the Wagang regime here. However, their power was too weak, and later they surrendered to the Qin King Li Shimin to get a good way out. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xianzhi Uprising broke out in Shandong first, and then the "Huang Chao Uprising" broke out, which eventually shakes the rule of the Tang Dynasty and almost becomes the successor of the Tang Dynasty.

When the Song Dynasty arrived, another anti-government armed forces arose here, which was the famous Liangshan hero. The real Liangshan uprising did not have such a big situation. Under the leadership of Song Jiang, they did not accept the invitation, but instead went to various places. In the end, they were forced to surrender to the court when they were defeated.

Because Shandong is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, in order to resist the Jin army's southward, the Tokyo garrison Du Chong, a defender in Huazhou, broke the Yellow River embankment, causing fatigue in the reform of the Yellow River, and went south from Sishui and Jishui to the sea. The Yellow River then changed from the north to the Bohai Sea and the south to the Yellow Sea. Since then, the Yellow River has frequently changed its routes in the lower reaches and rampant in Shandong. In order to survive, the victims may either leave their hometowns or become "thieves".

During the Southern Song Dynasty, it fell into the hands of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom. Because it was overwhelmed, the people here organized to resist the rule of the Jin Kingdom. This rebel army was named "Red Coat Army" because it was wearing a red coat as a mark. With the external attacks of the Mongolian and Song Dynasty echoing the internal attacks of the Red Coat Army, the Jin Kingdom quickly could not stand it and was defeated and headed to the end.
