After entering June, the good news for Jin Guo is one after another. A rebellion arose, and the Southern Song Dynasty's offensive at the beginning of the year finally stopped. Then, as if it had been discussed, there was also a rebellion in Mongolia in the north, and more than 100,000 Mongol troops retreated without a fight. Seeing that Daikin was about to enter the difficult situation of fighting on two fronts, the situation changed drastically, and all crises came to naught.

In the country, however, the land inventory has been basically completed, and the amount of land available for tax collection in the country has almost doubled. The country also implements a two-tax system, and the total amount of spring tax this year has almost doubled compared with previous years, and the state treasury has been greatly enriched. It can be said that the current gold is invincible from the outside, and there is surplus wealth inside, and it is completely peaceful and stable.

However, Wanyan Changzhi knew that this peaceful situation was only a temporary illusion, and the Jin State was still under the attack of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongols, and the rebellion could not shake the foundation of these two opponents, at most it could only consume a little of their strength and delay their attack on the Jin State. Once they recover, they will inevitably attack the Jin Kingdom from the north and south. Therefore, it should not be taken lightly.

However, Wanyan Changzhi is not a passive person, and taking the initiative is his style. This is true whether you are a general or an emperor. Moreover, now that both opponents are in civil strife, it is the time for "the enemy country is in turmoil, and the army is used to destroy it", if we do not give them a heavy blow at this time, then when will such a good opportunity appear again.

Originally, in order to meet the Mongol army, Wanyan Changzhi ordered to start gathering men and horses and deploying supplies. At this time, near Zhongdu, Yijing mobilized more than 70,000 people and horses, and also prepared a large amount of grain, forage, cloth, wood, iron and other materials. After learning that the Mongol army had retreated, some ministers said to Wanyan Changzhi that they should immediately send back their men and horses, disperse their materials, and guard the borders.

However, Wanyan Changzhi did not listen, but instead ordered all localities to immediately continue to urge the mobilization of troops and materials, and not to delay it without reason. Because Wanyan decided to take advantage of this opportunity to personally lead the army to conquer Mongolia.

The reason why Mongolia was chosen as the object of Dajin's expedition in the north and south was not a choice made by Wan Yan Changzhi at will, but a conclusion reached after repeated comparisons and trade-offs.

First of all, in terms of the scale of the rebellion, the Southern Song Dynasty took place on Anxi Road, which is only a corner of the northwest, which can be said to have nothing to do with the overall situation. Mongolia, on the other hand, is an internal and external trouble, and it is facing a large country in the Western Regions, such as Hara Khitan, and the situation is obviously much more serious than that of the Southern Song Dynasty. Secondly, the Southern Song Dynasty had the Yangtze River natural risk, and when the strength of the Jin Army's naval army could not compete with the Southern Song Dynasty, wanting to break through the Yangtze River natural danger was tantamount to a fool's dream. The Mongolian region is all desert steppe, there is no danger to defend, this terrain is also conducive to the cavalry as the main force of the Dajin army to give full play to combat effectiveness, as long as there is sufficient logistics support, Dajin men and horses can drive straight in. Another point is that Zhongdu is closer to the north and far from the south, and the conquest of Mongolia is also conducive to the deployment and supply of people and horses.

Although the rebellion on Anxi Road could not shake the overall situation of the Southern Song Dynasty, it could also involve a considerable part of the energy of the Southern Song Dynasty, so in a short period of time, the Southern Song Dynasty could not launch a large-scale attack, and there was a monk Wanyan Chen in the south, and the troops were also strengthened. Wanyan Changzhi can also have no worries and fight against Mongolia wholeheartedly.

It was for these reasons that Wanyan Changzhi decided to personally lead the army and conquer the Mongols. The ideal outcome is naturally nothing more than the complete elimination of Temujin and the complete extermination of the Mongols, even if this goal cannot be achieved, Temujin must be dealt a heavy blow, and then support Zahedang, Qu Zhulu and others, or other tribes, so that the steppe will return to a fragmented situation, and no longer have the power to threaten the northern border of Dajin.

Then the Jin army could deal with the Southern Song Dynasty wholeheartedly, and also had enough national strength to develop a naval army. After the Jin State had a naval army that could compete with the Southern Song Dynasty, he would march south to collect the land south of the Yangtze River and unify the world. Achievements after the Han and Tang dynasties.

Moreover, Wanyan Changzhi's plan was also strongly supported by Wanyan Fushou, Na Yan Ming'an, Zhang Hu and others, believing that Jin Guo got rid of the passive situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back in one fell swoop. Therefore, Wan Yan Chang actively prepared and formulated a plan for the army, and on the other hand, he sent people to get in touch with Zha Hedang, Qu Zhulu and others, and agreed to deal with Mongolia together.

But just when Wanyan Changzhi was preparing to take the oath to go on the expedition, news came from the Southern Song Dynasty that the rebellion on Anxi Road was successfully quelled by the Southern Song Dynasty court. In fact, such news should not have been so slow to feed back to the Jin Kingdom, but this time the espionage system of the Jin Kingdom in this area was almost swept away by the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, it was not until almost a month later that Jin Guo also learned about everything that happened on Anxi Road.

When Yan Changzhi heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. Although he didn't have much expectations for the Ren rebellion, after all, the Ren family had been operating in the Western Xia region for more than 40 years, with deep roots, and there was the Jin State secretly supporting and supporting, and the Southern Song Dynasty had just occupied the Western Xia, and the people were not convinced. In this way, even if the rebellion is settled, it will consume considerable manpower and material resources, and with the aftermath of the rebellion, I am afraid that it will be exhausting.

Who would have thought that the Ren clan had only raised the flag for half a month, and it would be settled by the south. And when you really calculate it, it actually only lasted six days. It also involved the complete elimination of the Jin State's spy system in the Western Xia region, and the loss was not small.

Because the rebellion almost did not cause any damage to the Southern Song Dynasty, if the Jin State still marched into Mongolia according to the plan, then the Southern Song Dynasty would definitely not let go of this opportunity, and would definitely send troops to attack the southern border of the Jin State. Although Monk Wanyan Chen is a general, it is difficult to resist. You must know that Yang Yan's talent in using soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty is by no means below that of Monk Wanyan Chen.

Under such circumstances, Wan Yan Changzhi naturally had to rethink the current situation and Jin Guo's next plan. So Wan Yan Changzhi immediately issued an order to temporarily cancel the plan to attack Mongolia, and immediately recruited Wan Yan Fushou, Na Yan Ming'an, Zhang Hu and others to discuss the next step.

※※Support original ※"Song Xiang" is in ※Support genuine※※

"Your Majesty, in the current situation, we really shouldn't attack Mongolia again, on the contrary, we must prevent the Southern Song Dynasty from attacking the southern border, after all, they launched an attack on our Dajin at the beginning of the year. Wanyan Fushou stroked his beard and said slowly. In fact, as soon as he heard that Nanding had rebelled, he immediately made such a judgment.

Na Yan Ming'an also spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that the Taishi is reasonable, and now my Dajin still strictly guards the border to prevent the Song army from attacking." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi frowned and said, "Except for prevention, doesn't my Dajin have any other way?" Can't we do anything more? ”

Zhang Hu said: "Back to the emperor, my Dajin naturally can't do nothing at all." While preventing the attack of the Southern Song Dynasty, for the north, we should vigorously support Zha He in terms of materials and weapons, so that they can have the capital to be the enemy of Tie Shuzhen. Then he sent him to the steppe to talk to the descendants of the tribes who had enemies with the Mongols in the past, such as Tatar, Taiyiyi, and Mi'erqi, and let them come out together to rebel against the Mongols and restore their own people. If necessary, you can also send a small group of elite men and horses to help them fight against the Mongol army and completely disrupt the steppe. ”

After listening to Zhang Hu's opinion, Wanyan Fushou and Nalan Ming'an both nodded frequently, thinking that what he said was very reasonable. But Wan Yan Changzhi was a little disappointed in his heart, because what the few people said just now was different from his own thoughts.

He pondered for a moment before he said, "If we do this, will we really be able to disturb the grassland?" ”

Wanyan Fushou, Nalan Ming'an, and Zhang Hu were all stunned, looking at Wanyan Changzhi, a little incomprehensible to him.

Wan Yan Changzhi further said: "Now Temujin has at least 100,000 troops under his command, and there are no less than dozens of generals who can conquer and are accustomed to war, while the clansmen who dare to fight are only a few thousand at most, and the available soldiers are only one or two thousand. It simply could not be an opponent of Temujin. As for the others, not to mention. The Tatars, Taiyiyi, and Mi'er beggars were all scattered and regrouped into thousands of households by Temujin, and even if they had the heart to rebel against Temujin, it would be difficult to gather enough men. Therefore, the only one who has a little strength now is the Naiban prince who fled to Western Liao. ”

Because Daikin can't plant spies on the grassland, the basic situation can be understood clearly.

Wan Yan Changzhi said: "Although I don't know much about Qu Zhulu's personality and the strength of Western Liao, when Temujin defeated the barbarian army of Hangshan Mountain, Qu Zhulu was already his defeated. And Xiliao easily let an outsider control the power of the country, which shows that the strength of this country is nothing more than that. Can such a person, such a country, be an enemy of Temujin? Even if we can support them in terms of supplies and weapons, at most we can only let them hold out a little longer. Even sending out a small force of men to help them fight will not help. And you should not forget that now the Southern Song Dynasty also borders Mongolia, and they can also support Mongolia. ”

After hearing Yan Changzhi say this, Wan Yan Fushou and others had to admit that Wan Yan Changzhi's opinions and eyes were indeed a step higher than their own.

Zhang Hu couldn't help but say, "Then what does the emperor mean, do we still want to attack Mongolia?" ”
