Chapter 237: The Dream of the Great White High Country Asks for a Monthly Pass)
In the spring of the second year of Zhengde, Dabai Gaoguo (Xixia), Xingqing Fucheng.
This castle, located between Helan Mountain and the Yellow River, on the narrow and rich plain was called the Western Tribe by the Song Dynasty. They called themselves the Western Dynasty or the Dabai Gao Kingdom, and later historical books also called it the capital of the Dangxiang tribe separatist regime of the Western Xia.
The steep Helan Mountains and the rushing Yellow River, as well as the vast Gobi Desert to the west of Helan Mountains and east of the Yellow River, surrounded and protected the capital of the Great Baikal Kingdom layer by layer, making it extremely difficult for foreign enemies to attack it - if the Song army wanted to attack from the east, it would have to cross the vast Gobi Desert and then break through the surging Yellow River.
The desert east of the Yellow River is very hot in summer and too dry in winter, so it is difficult to pass. Only in spring and autumn can we walk on it. However, in spring and autumn, the Yellow River did not freeze again. What should we do when we reach the bank of the Yellow River? In order to prevent the Song army from logging and building ships, the imperial court of the Dabai Gao Kingdom sent people across the river to cut trees every year. Not to mention ships on the east bank of the Yellow River, trees are hard to see...
Therefore, until now, the Dabai Gao Kingdom, which established the capital Xingqing Prefecture, has never been threatened by the Dabai Gao Kingdom's mortal enemy, Dabai Gao Kingdom!
The plains around Xingqing Prefecture, which are nourished by the melting snow of Helan Mountain and the Yellow River water, are extremely rich, and are enough to support the nobles and army of the Dabai Gao Kingdom living in Xingqing Prefecture. Compared with most of the barren and arid land in the Dabai Gao Kingdom, the surrounding Xingqing Prefecture is really a paradise.
However, this "paradise" also has shortcomings, which is that it is too remote. It is not easy for the enemy to come, and it is also very difficult for the Dabai Gaoguo to fight. If the army set out from Xingqing Prefecture wants to reach the Hengshan front line, it has to pass through the vast Gobi Desert, and it still cannot carry much food.
Therefore, in addition to the food rations that the Dabai Gao Kingdom had to carry, the expeditionary army could only obtain some supplies from several barren and arid states on the northern foot of Hengshan... But even the Hengshan Fan tribe living there was not enough food, so how much food could it provide to the army?
Therefore, in the previous eastern expeditions of the Dabai Gao Kingdom, as long as there was no way to grab food and drink from the land of the Song Dynasty, they could only withdraw their troops after more than twenty days.
Since we cannot get too much food from the Yokoyama Bodhi tribe, we cannot establish a supply line across the desert.
Therefore, the army of the Eastern Expedition of the Dabai Gao Kingdom often had to carry a large number of auxiliary soldiers responsible for transporting supplies. Every time the Eastern Expedition was a huge momentum... but it was difficult to last. Often, a fierce attack was frustrated and he had to go home.
After understanding this weakness of the Dabai Gaoguo, the Western Army of the Song Dynasty was no longer afraid of the Dabai Gaoguo's massive attack... No matter how many hundred thousand people you have, we just need to guard the danger, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and drag them over.
A futile attack is a huge consumption of the limited national strength of the Dabai Gao Kingdom!
Therefore, until the Song Dynasty encountered the Xuanhe disaster, the eastern and southern territories of the Dabai Gao Kingdom were constantly eroded by the Song Dynasty... If it were not for the Song Dynasty's national policies that often changed significantly due to the death of the emperor or the emperor's mind, and there were often major omissions in combat command, it would be hard to say whether the Dabai Gao Kingdom would throw all the states on the northern foot of Hengshan.
The current Wuzun of the Great Bai Gao Kingdom, Weiming Qianshun, was the expansion policy of his mother, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang. He encountered strong obstacles from Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Dun, the powerful prime minister, and Zhang Shi, a rare commander who knew the military and was good at fighting. He took over the mess when he lost his life.
Because of his mother's lessons and the national strength of the Dabai High Country and the decline of military strength, Wei Mingshun has always adopted the national policy of embracing Liao and cautious in the defense of Song... Finally, it was time for the Song Dynasty to encounter the Xuanhe crisis!
Wei Ming Ganshun, the fourth generation of the Dabai Gao Kingdom, who had been bullied by Zhao Xu and Zhao Ji for half his life, finally saw the opportunity to open up the territory... Speaking of which, this king who ascended the throne at the age of three, took power at the age of sixteen, and had been in charge of power for twenty-eight years, really wants to cheer up!
Look at the first year he chose after he took power, and he knew what he was thinking... It took him thirteen years to change this year name to Yongning (homophony, probably because he accepted his fate). But just when Wei Ming Ganshun finally realized that he was a mediocre person and could only live happily, an opportunity to open up territory and revitalize the Dabai Gaoguo suddenly appeared in front of him!
The half-dead big brother Da Liao finally died, and was replaced by a very capable new big brother Da Jin! Not long after Da Bai Gaoguo embraced his thick and strong new thighs, Zhao Ji, the bad guy next door who always bullies the smooth fucking, was also punished with evil... He was actually beaten to the door of his house by "Brother Jin" and even beaten to death!
What made Gan Shun even more moved was that the Song Dynasty actually split after the death of Emperor Zhuangzong of Song Dynasty Zhao Ji... Brothers are fighting against each other, and the east and west are in opposition!
The Great Jin attacks outside and the brothers fight inside. The Great Song Dynasty is about to end!
After confirming that the Song Dynasty was over, Wei Ming Ganshun was preparing to send troops. In fact, he had already sent troops in the eighth year of Yuande, that is, the eighth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty. At that time, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty to advance eastward to seize some cities controlled by the Song army along Hengshan. He also sent troops to besiege Tiandu Mountain Village in Xi'an Prefecture of the Song Dynasty, hoping to regain this important place that was thrown in his mother's hands in one fell swoop.
But just when he was about to succeed in besieging Tiandu Mountain Village, a bad news came from Hedong... The arrogant Jin Tianshang actually lost the battle in Hedong and retreated!
Wei Ming Ganshun was frightened. He sent troops to support him when the Liao Kingdom was about to perish, but the Jin soldiers almost wiped out all their troops!
Such a powerful Jin army was actually defeated by the Song army...Which place Weiming Ganshun dared to conquer Tiandu Mountain? So he quickly withdrew his troops and retreated. Shortly after retreating to Xingqing Prefecture, he received the news that Zhao Ji was defeated and Zhao Kai had "reopened the Song Dynasty"!
After receiving the news, Wei Ming Ganshun was so regretful!
Such a good opportunity was actually given up by him in vain!
So he decided to send troops to attack Song again in the first year of Zhengde... Since he failed to defeat Tiandu Mountain before, he only seized a few hamlets with no money, so he couldn't afford to raise the food at all, so he had to wait for the autumn harvest before fighting.
But after the autumn harvest, when the army led by Gan Shun's gangster, the commander of the commander of the Jin Wang Weiming Chage had just arrived in Weizhou and had not yet begun to invade Xi'an Prefecture, bad news came again... Wanyan Zonghan's 100,000 army seemed to be washed away by the flood on the battlefield of Jingxi Road. I wonder where it went?
Now Wei Ming Ganshun was timid again - Wanyan Zonghan was defeated, so how could he dare to fight Zhao Kai? So he started to start and ended up, and he didn't even go to the army, so he just stopped the troops.
After two tiger-headed and missed tails, Wei Ming Ganshun's dream of revitalizing the Dabai Gao Kingdom almost woke up. Just when he was about to be a lifelong retreat, the angel of the Dajin Kingdom, Xiao Zhonggong, came, and brought an imperial edict that excited the king and ministers of the Dabai Gao Kingdom!
Weiming Ganshun and Dabai Gaoguo must continue to dream!
Because the Great Jin Kingdom has now made up its mind to fight with Zhao Kai with millions of soldiers... Dabai Gao Kingdom is a vassal state of the Great Jin Kingdom, and it must participate in this conquest, and it must send 400,000 troops - forty percent of the million-strong army must be taken out by the Great Bai Gao Kingdom!
But will Dabai Gaoguo not follow this time?
After settled the Great Jin envoy, Wuzun Weiming Ganshun summoned a group of important officials to discuss the court in the palace of Xingqing Prefecture and discuss the war and issues against Song.
"The emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom wanted to command the army in person... and planned to promote the five armies to attack the Song Dynasty with one million! We also asked our Dabai Gao Kingdom to produce 400,000 of them, and also undertake the offensives of Shaanxi and Longyou! Let's talk about it, what should we do?"
The middle-aged man who was talking was Wei Ming Ganshun. He just passed forty this year and lived a pampering life all his life. He was well maintained. He looked only in his thirties. He should have made great achievements, but now he looks sad.
"Wuzhe, we must send troops! Otherwise, what if the Jurchens don't attack Zhao Kai, come and attack us?"
The first person to report to the class was Li Liangfu, the general who had led 30,000 elite troops to rescue Yelu Yanxi, but was defeated.
This Li Liangfu was the chief of the Dangxiang tribe, and Li was given the surname - the royal family of 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 himself to a name Wei. The so-called royal family followed the surname Wei. But for some reason, the soldiers of Dabai Gao Kingdom still gave the surname Li when they gave people the surname.
Because he was beaten by the Jurchens before, he suffered heavy casualties, so Li Liangfu has now become a complete sect of fear of gold and pro-gold.
He exclaimed: "My country has been defeated by the Jin Dynasty and cannot win at most, but there is no danger of destroying the country. Because the Song people could not go on an expedition, could not cross the Gobi Desert, and at most they fought Weizhou and Lingzhou from the south. These two capitals are strong and can last for a long time. Moreover, Lingzhou has the danger of the Yellow River, and at most they can break the dike and release the water to retreat to the enemy!
The Jin soldiers can leave the Tiande Army, take the Heishan Army Office, and go down to Xingqing Prefecture along the Yellow River!"
Xingqing Prefecture is not afraid of enemies from the west, south and east, but it is an empty gate to the north. Especially for enemies with certain nomadic abilities, they can shed sheep and horses on the grassland of the Heishan Military Office (the Hetao Reclamation Area in later generations). After the sheep are fat and the horses are strong, they can go south to more than 200 miles along the Yellow River and enter the plain where Xingqing Prefecture is located.
"Hmph, we are not afraid of Jin soldiers going south to Xingqing Mansion! How many Jin soldiers can come? Can they last? They don't care about Song State?"
Wei Ming Ganshun's gangster brother Wei Mingcha looked much more fierce and powerful than his younger brother, and he was not so afraid of the Jin soldiers. However, he still advocated a war against Song. He said to his younger brother with a calm face, "Wuzhe, we can't underestimate Zhao Kai. He has already made Wanyan Zonghan suffer twice... It's hard to guarantee that there will be a third time, this is not a lucky thing!
If we watch the dispute between Song and Jin, and when he really drives the Jin soldiers out of the Central Plains, can our Dabai Gaoguo still have it? We have to be prepared for danger in times of peace and prosperity. We have to cheer up and work hard... Only by cooperating with the Jin Kingdom to defeat the Song Dynasty, take the Longyou, Fengxiang land, and even take the entire Guanzhong area, can our Dabai Gaoguo stand firm in this chaotic world!"
