Chapter 1215: Quick Battle

The distress of real gold is not self-inflicted, but the legacy left by the ancestors. As the saying goes: where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are organizations, there are line disputes and factional conflicts.

The same was true of the Mongols, who, in the time when Genghis Khan had just established the Mongol Khanate, were in fact nomadic empires based on a union structure based on a large tribal empire with enough control over other tribes, just like the Xiongnu and Turks in the past. However, unlike the Xiongnu and the Turks, when Genghis Khan unified the various tribes on the steppe, in addition to military conquest, he also relied on shamanism at that time to a large extent, so as to establish the Ba'er Jin family, which had a higher status in military, political, and religious terms, that is, the "golden family".

However, even though Genghis Khan and his family had a better ruling base than the steppe rulers of the past, they were powerless and unwilling to change the economic situation of the Mongols and establish a bureaucratic class sufficient to dominate the entire steppe. Therefore, Genghis Khan's rule over various tribes was actually very simple and rude, that is, the tribes of the Mongolian steppe with different original cultures, religions and even ethnic origins were broken up and organized. Then Genghis Khan's relatives and his generals were joined by the new tribesmen.

Under this policy, the Mongol Khanate formed many royal ruling regions, and the Mongol kings and nobles who were divided into the Monan Han region were called the kings of the Eastern Road, and the Mongolian kings and nobles who were divided into Central Asia, Eastern Europe and other regions were called the kings of the Western Road, also known as the left-wing Mongolia and the right-wing Mongolia. After the death of Genghis Khan, he took charge of the country and inherited most of its army and inheritance, and both the left-wing Mongols and the right-wing Mongols belonged to the Torre family, which had a total of more than 100 thousand households, forming the main body of the Mongol tribes. Except for the Mongol tribes on the left and right flanks, they were divided by the Mongol kings.

Ögedei ascended the throne with the support of Cheng Siji Khan's will and Chagatai and others. Although he sat on the throne of the Great Khan, he felt very uncomfortable when he saw the men and horses under his command, and his direct subordinates were only four Mongolian thousand households, and they were not even as good as the leaders of the Torre family. He knew that with this amount of troops, he would not be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Great Khan, so he hurriedly reorganized the Cowardly Xue Army, kicked the Chilaowen family out of the Cowardly Xue Long team, directly governed a Cowardly Xue, and arranged for sixty or seventy cronies to take power in the Cowardly Xue Army.

At the same time, Ogedai also formed the Tanma Red Army, and regarded the left-wing Mongol tribes under Torrey's command as the main force of conscription, and most of the commanders of these troops were cowardly Xue soldiers, which also formed the tradition of left-wing Mongols stationed in Han China. After Torre's death, the Ögedei family sat firmly on the throne of the Great Khan. But feng shui took turns, and with the death of Guiyou, Meng Ke of the Torre department once again ascended the throne of the Great Khan, and he was also the last Great Khan who could command all the Mongol forces.

After Möngke's death, Kublai Khan competed with Ali Buge for the throne of Khan. The left-wing Mongol tribes had been stationed in Han China for a long time and had a close relationship with Kublai Khan, the highest military and political governor of Han China, so they became his hardcore supporters. And Zarar, Hongjira, Yiqiresi, Busy Ulus, and Ulu are the main body of left-wing Mongolia, and they have long been under the direct jurisdiction of the Yuan Dynasty royal family. In addition, the Zara tribe where the Muhuali family is located is also in left-wing Mongolia, and the Uliangha tribe of Subutai's descendants is also the pillar of left-wing Mongolia.

The right-wing Mongolia supported Ali Buge, and most of the people of the cowardly Xue army were also on their side, but although the people of Borhu and Borer were all in right-wing Mongolia, their relationship with Ali Buge was not good, and the fief was given away by Ali Buge, so he turned to Kublai Khan. However, Ali Buge was still full of self-confidence, thinking that he could win the throne with the support of the right-wing Mongols, and the sibling rivalry also marked the official break between the left and right wings of Mongolia.

Originally, left-wing Mongolia and right-wing Mongolia were one, and everyone was still a relative, and they didn't want to fight each other, but they just fought Taipingquan. But Kublai Khan brought the Han army to the steppe, and the Han army, which was dominated by the Han army, raided the right-wing Mongols, but the Han soldiers were not relatives of the Mongols, so they naturally took less care of it, and killed the right-wing Mongols without mercy, and directly beat the right-wing Mongols into the desert and fled. While Kublai Khan sent the Han army to conquer and suppress, he also imposed a grain embargo on the Mongolian steppe, leaving the right-wing Mongolia in starvation.

Because Ali Buge failed to recover enough food from Central Asia, the right-wing Mongols had to surrender to Kublai Khan under the threat of death, but they still regarded him as a traitor. The left-wing Mongols helped Kublai Khan, and the tribal leaders all had the title of prince, and they all got the fiefdom of the Han land, and their family background was generally higher than that of the right-wing Mongols. Moreover, the left-wing Mongolian background is also synonymous with reliability in the Mongolian Yuan, and it is far stronger than the right-wing Mongolian in terms of promotion and wealth.

When Kublai Khan sent troops to destroy the Song Dynasty, part of the right-wing Mongols who had been holding back the fire raided Shangdu and Lin, and Kublai Khan's fourth son Namuhan and Prime Minister An Tong were captured. Naturally, he could not trust the right-wing Mongolian Kublai Khan who was attached to him, and he was worried that they would cause chaos in the Gyeonggi area, and he was afraid that he would defect to Haidu when he returned to Mobei, so he put them in the grasslands near Gyeonggi, and in case of an accident, he could quickly deploy troops to suppress them.

After Zhenjin succeeded to the throne, he was naturally wary of these right-wing Mongol tribes, but due to the loss of Jiangnan, which led to financial difficulties, he was less rewarded to the 'exiled' right-wing Mongols, and his control was also declining. And this time they were recruited to reinforce the Xuzhou battlefield because they wanted to use them as cannon fodder and eliminate the trouble of their henchmen, and even extorted a huge amount of money from them......

"Great Khan, Suzhou victory, our army sent troops from Fuli to attack the rear camp of the Song army hundreds of miles away, burned all the grain, grass and baggage, and the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty fled with a wound!" When Yuechi Cha'er saw the Great Khan entering the hall, he immediately stepped forward and prayed.

"The emperor of the Southern Dynasty was injured, and the grain, grass, and baggage were all lost, is this news accurate?" Since the start of the war, his side has lost one after another, and when he heard the good news, Zhenjin was a little hard to believe, and he asked with suppressed excitement.

"Yu Great Khan, the document was jointly signed by Tutuha and Daru Hua Chihe Weixian, the commander of the Han army and Weidu, and this battle was planned by He Weixian, and he personally led the army to raid the camp behind the southern army. In this battle, less than 20% of the 5,000 troops returned, and they were also nine deaths and almost trapped in the Song camp. And he has been cowardly for many years, and he has served the Great Khan loyally, so the good news should be credible. Yuechi Cha'er replied.

"Well, three generations of his clan have served my father Khan, made many meritorious deeds, and are loyal to my Great Yuan. In the past, I only knew that his writing was refined, but I didn't know that he still had the ability to command troops. In this way, this battle is indeed a victory! Zhenjin nodded, very pleased.

"Exactly, now that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is injured, and the grain, grass, and baggage are all lost, it is the time when the people are panicking, and our army should launch a counterattack as soon as possible, so as not to have more variables after the Southern Army gets supplies!" Yue Chi Cha'er said.

"That's right, quickly summon Zuo Xiang, Pingzhang and other important ministers into the palace to discuss matters!" Zhenjin said.

"The Great Khan is wise!" Yuechi Cha'er said.

"Yuechi Cha'er, where have the two soldiers and horses of the King of Kaiping County and the King of Baochang County arrived?" While waiting, Jinjin asked.

"Great Khan, five days ago they traveled to Texas to receive an edict to return to help, and this morning they received a report from the station that they have arrived in Nanpi!" Yue Chi Cha'er, who presided over the affairs of the Privy Council, was very clear about this, and replied after a little thought.

"In five days, the march is only more than 100 miles, and they are deliberately delaying!" Zhenjin listened to the case and hated it.

"They refused to go fast because they had a lack of food and grass and needed to raise it. But now is the time to employ people, everything is to protect Gyeonggi, or don't worry about them, I have urged them to return as soon as possible in the name of the Privy Council, and I think that Keri will return to Beijing! Yue Chi Cha'er poured a cup of tea for the Great Khan and said.

"Meet the Great Khan!" At this time, several ministers who had been called entered the temple to worship and see the Tao.

"The Great Khan, the king of Kaiping and the king of Baochang in the name of raising grain and grass, when they went out of Beijing, they extorted grain and grass from the prefectures and counties along the way, and if there was less, they would set up troops to loot, and the officials and people everywhere were miserable. On the way back, he asked for it again, and the local prefectures and counties had already been empty, so they could only forcibly expropriate the people, and many places had already triggered a popular uprising, gathering people to resist. Please also ask the Great Khan to observe the suffering of the people and issue a decree of severe punishment to calm the hearts of the people! Li Qian had already heard what the two of them said, and did not get up after giving the salute, but played.

"Oh, there's something like that!" Zhenjin listened, and looked at Yuechi Cha'er with unkind eyes.

"It's just a little thing, how dare you alarm the Great Khan, what kind of storm can be set off by a few chaotic people. At present, the southern army has already conquered the city, everything still needs to focus on the overall situation, don't provoke a mutiny, miss a big event! Yue Chi Cha'er hurriedly saluted. He is a descendant of Borhu, and naturally he was also born in right-wing Mongolia, so he naturally has to protect his own people.

"The local people have changed one after another, as little as hundreds, and more than thousands of people gather in the Wuthering Mountains and forests to fight against the government, is it just a small matter in the eyes of the privy envoys?" Li Qian asked angrily.

"Pingzhang, the enemy is at present, everything must be based on retreating from the enemy, don't quarrel over this, and miss the right thing!" Seeing that the two of them were coldly opposed, Brother Sang hurriedly stepped forward to persuade 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." Zhenjin thought about it, suppressed the anger in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Just now there is good news from the front, my Suzhou victory rushed to the rear camp of the Southern Army, injured the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and burned his grain and grass, the enemy army is already panicked, how can our army take this opportunity to break the enemy, we have to make a decision as soon as possible, what are your good strategies!" ”

"The minister thinks that if the battle is quickly resolved and the enemy in front of him is quickly defeated, then the southern and northern expeditions will fail, and the enemy naval army attacking Gyeonggi will have no way to respond, and they will inevitably retreat, and the siege of Gyeonggi will also be resolved!" Yuechi Cha'er took the lead......
