150, Section 2 Lian Liao against the Song Dynasty, the rise of the Jurchen

Section 2: The Liao Dynasty fought against the Song Dynasty, and the Jurchens rose

Dan Chi once performed silk silk alone, and was the first person to personally inscribe the imperial letter. Ying Xi moved up to Zhang Pen Li, Ma Shuxi went to fight for Wei Ling. Yafu's golden drum fell from the sky, Han Xin's banner was carried on his back. Qi Zhi'er's meritorious service returned to the palace.

, the graphics may still look like a unicorn.

In 1100 AD, Song Zhezong died suddenly of illness at the age of 26. His younger brother Duan Wang Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne. This was Song Huizong. From then on, the Song Dynasty entered the darkest period in history. Song Huizong appointed Cai Jing as the right prime minister. In addition, in

Under the recommendation of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Li Bangyan and others were reused. At that time, the six of them controlled the government together and worked together in a collusion. They were called the Six Thieves at the time. These six people began to build large-scale construction projects across the country, using the name of Hua Shi Gang

, took the opportunity to extort money from the common people. If we are not familiar with the Hua Shi Gang here, then readers must still remember the Birthday Gang in "Water Margin", which is almost the same thing. These six people were tyrannical in the Song Dynasty, making everything up and down.

The chickens and dogs are restless, and the people are in dire straits.

At that time, there were four major calligraphers in the Song Dynasty, including Su Huang, Mi Cai, and Cai referred to Cai Jing. However, except for his good calligraphy, Cai Jing was useless in other aspects. Because Cai Jing had such a bad reputation in the minds of the people of the Central Plains,

So later on, the name Cai in the Four Masters of Calligraphy was changed to Cai Xiang. These six people not only caused harm to the country and the people at home, but also advocated the use of troops against Xixia abroad. I am afraid they also had the idea of ​​​​passing on domestic conflicts.

In 1004 AD, the Song army sent troops to capture a fortress in Xixia. Li Qianshun was very angry when he learned about it and hurriedly sent elite cavalry to fight for it, but the Xixia army was defeated by the Song army. Not long after, another Song army came with

The troops marched with lightning speed until they reached the territory of Xixia. Since the Xixia army was unprepared, the Song army won a complete victory in this war and captured a lot of things. The Song army also arranged for serious illness along the border. If there were any

The Xixia people who came here to graze were forced to join in, and if they didn't comply, they would be killed. Li Qianshun had no choice but to send envoys to the Song Dynasty to ask for peace. The Song Dynasty rejected Xixia's peace invitation. Angry, Li Qianshun mobilized four prison guards

The military division's army besieged Pingxia City, defeated the local Song army, and captured tens of thousands of people.

In 1105 AD, Li Qianshun was always worried that the Song Dynasty would send a large army to launch a large-scale attack in Xixia, so he sent an envoy to the Liao Kingdom to request reinforcements. The Liao Kingdom sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty to ask the Song Dynasty to stop its troops, and then sent a symbolic

An army was stationed at the border fortress. Even though the Liao Kingdom came forward to mediate, Song Huizong still rejected Xixia's request for peace. Not long after, the Song army sent troops to attack Yinzhou again. The Xixia army came to rescue, and the two sides started a fierce battle at Gaopingling.

The Xixia army was defeated. Song Dynasty general Han Shizhong led his army to pursue them. After catching up, the two sides fought again, and the Xixia army still suffered a disastrous defeat.

The Song army, which had captured several cities in succession, formulated a new battle plan and reported it to Song Huizong. Song Huizong agreed very much with the plan and ordered Cai Jing to step up supervision of the western border areas to store grain and prepare for war. Li Qianshun received the news.

Finally, they decided to attack first and changed from passive to active. However, the Xixia army sent troops twice in succession and was defeated by the Song army.

The Xixia army was never a match for the Song army, so Li Qinshun had to keep sending envoys to the Liao State to request reinforcements. The Liao State also sent envoys to the Song Dynasty to request that both sides stop their troops, but Song Huizong still refused.

The Liao State never gave up, and soon they sent another wave of envoys to the Song Dynasty. The Liao State repeatedly sent envoys to the Song Dynasty to request the Song Dynasty to withdraw its troops. Due to the pressure exerted by the Liao State, Song Huizong had no choice but to agree to withdraw his troops this time. After both sides negotiated

After bargaining, the Song Dynasty only agreed to return part of the invaded Xixia territory. However, the policy formulated by Song Huizong and Cai Jing against Xixia mercenaries did not change. After another seven years of preparation, Song Huizong asked Tong Guan to lead the Sixth Army, intending to use this

This war captured the entire Hengshan area.

Not long after the troops were dispatched, almost all the six armies achieved large and small victories, especially the army led by Liu Fa. Liu Fa led the army and met the Xixia Army in what is now Ledu County, Qinghai. The two sides fought fiercely and the Song Army was defeated.

The Xixia army and Liu Fa built a city here to shock the northwest.

In September, the four armies besieged what is now Dingbian County, Shaanxi Province. The siege lasted for a long time and was never defeated. Xixia reinforcements arrived one after another. The Xixia army was attacked from inside and outside, resulting in a disastrous defeat for the Song army. Tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and injured. The Xixia army

Taking advantage of the victory, they invaded Xiaoguan and plundered many people and livestock. General Wang Hou was afraid that the court would hold him responsible for the defeat, so he bribed Tong Guan with a large sum of money, and Tong Guan promised not to report the matter to the court.

The next year, the Song Dynasty dispatched another 100,000 troops, divided into seven groups, and once again attacked the Zangdi River. Although this city is small, it is very strong. Originally, the Song army planned to break the city within ten days, but the siege failed until the third day.

After eight days, there was still no progress. The Song monarch became anxious and ordered an all-out attack. The Song army organized a death squad. This death squad risked their lives and broke into the city wall. Other Song troops followed and climbed onto the city wall. The Xixia soldiers panicked.

At a loss, the army suddenly collapsed, and the Song army occupied the Zangdi River. The Shenxian army was commanded by Liu Fa and was ordered to besiege Renduoquan City in Xixia. Li Qianshun ordered Cha Ge to lead an army to rescue. Cha Ge heard that the Song army guarding general was Liu Fa.

Fa, so he did not dare to lead the army to move forward. Cha Ge was known as a natural god general among all the Xixia generals, but even he did not dare to move forward when he heard that the Song monarch general was Liu Fa. It can be seen that Liu Fa was

The northwest region is famous, but there are not many records about Liu Fa in history.

In November 1116 AD, in order to avenge the defeat of Renduoquan City at that time, Li Qianshun sent troops to attack Jingxia City of the Song Dynasty. The Xixia army sent tens of thousands of cavalry to rush around the city, so that the dust flew up and seriously interfered with the Song army's sight.

At the same time, the Xixia army was busy digging tunnels into the city. In this way, the Xixia army captured the city easily. Li Qianshun ordered the massacre of the city, which also avenged the Song army's massacre of Renduoquan City.

In 1119 AD, Tong Guan believed that Tong'an City in the hinterland of Xixia was a key place, so she asked Liu Fa to lead his army to capture it. Liu Fa believed that now was not the best time to fight deep into the enemy's territory. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he did not

The only solution was to lead an army of 20,000 to attack Tong'an City.

Xixia sent the fierce general Cha Ge. Cha Ge was proficient in the art of war. He sent an elite cavalry group to go behind Liu Fa's army and launched a surprise attack. The armies of both sides fought for seven hours. The Song soldiers were exhausted, and countless people died. Liu Fa

He took advantage of the darkness to escape, but because his horses were exhausted, he was discovered by the Xixia army after only walking 70 miles. Liu Fa slipped and fell and was killed by the Xixia soldiers.

After the Xixia army won the victory, they continued to take advantage of the victory and sent troops to besiege the Song Dynasty city. Tong Guan sent three armies to rescue and then repelled the Xixia people. The Song army had captured the entire Hengshan area that they had dreamed of for so many years. This was also the end of the Song Empire.

The final glory of previous military achievements.

The two sides fought for years, causing heavy losses to their domestic economies, and neither side was able to continue the war. Therefore, in June 1119 AD, Xixia took the initiative to ask for peace from the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty agreed to negotiate a peace and ordered its troops to withdraw.

Unexpectedly, just when the three parties of the Western Xia, Song and Liao Dynasties were trying to contain each other, a Jurchen force suddenly emerged in the northeastern region of my country. This nation rose rapidly and broke into the chaos of the Three Kingdoms with a strong posture. The Jurchen people have been fighting for a long time. Living in the Changbai Mountains, Heilongjiang and Songhua River areas of our country, they began to rise in the middle of the 11th century. When the Liao Kingdom was powerful, Yizhens had always been a satellite of the Liao Kingdom. The next part is a detailed introduction to the Jurchens, about the detailed history of the Jurchens , readers can continue reading.

In ancient Manchu, the meaning of privet is Haidongqing. Haidongqing is a small but extremely fierce eagle. When introducing the history of the Liao Kingdom, there was an introduction: The nobles of the Liao Kingdom

I particularly like this kind of seaweed, and often ask for this kind of eagle from the Jurchens. Even among the Jurchens, seaweed is very rare. However, the Liao State forced the Wanyan tribe who did not produce seaweed to worship seaweed.

The Wanyan tribe had no choice but to go to the northeast to look for Haidongqing, but the northeastern region was the territory of the Five Kingdoms tribes, and the Liao Kingdom also wanted to use this method to make the Wanyan tribe and the Five Kingdoms tribes fight each other. At the beginning of the 12th century, Wanyan tribe

Wanyan Aguda, the leader of the Yan tribe, used this name to fight everywhere, and unexpectedly completed the unification of the various Jurchen tribes.

Wanyan Aguda has been strong since he was a child, and he has never obeyed the Liao Kingdom. And at a fish head banquet held by the Liao Kingdom, Wanyan Aguda actually stood up in public and asked the Liao Emperor to return the Jurchen leader who defected to the Liao Kingdom.

And at the banquet, the Emperor of Liao asked all the tribal leaders to stand up and dance, but Wanyan Aguda remained motionless.

Wanyan Aguda, who narrowly escaped from that banquet, knew that the Liao Kingdom would never give up. He decided not to sit back and wait for death, but to strike preemptively. After two years of hard work, finally in 1114 AD, Wanyan Aguda led the Jurchen tribes to erect

At that time, he only had more than 2,000 people under his command, so he started to fight everywhere. The Jurchens' rebellion and victory in the first battle attracted the attention of the Liao State, and the Emperor of the Liao State sent 100,000 troops to conquer.

Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, Wanyan Aguda decided to launch an attack before the Liao army was fully assembled. In order to boost morale, he also fabricated a lie. The Ligustrum people believed her lie, and more than 3,000 Jurchen cavalry rode on

The Liao army was advancing rapidly in the wind and snow. The Liao army did not expect that the Jurchens would advance so quickly, so they were unprepared and were immediately defeated by the Jurchen cavalry. This was a classic example in the history of Chinese wars where a small number of people defeated a large number. At this time, China's

On the northwest and northeastern borders were the Song Dynasty and Xixia respectively, and wars between the Liao Kingdom and the Jurchens were raging one after another.

In 1115 AD, under the leadership of Wanyan Aguda, the Jurchens captured Huanglong Mansion. At this time, the Liao Kingdom could not sit still at all, and mobilized the entire country's troops, 700,000 troops, and the Emperor of the Liao Kingdom personally marched. But at this time

Wanyan Aguda had only 20,000 troops, but Wanyan Aguda still showed no weakness and miraculously defeated the Liao army. Just as the Liao army continued to lose, there was an internal rebellion. The Liao emperor hurriedly led the army to retreat.

After returning to quell the rebellion, Wanyan Aguda seized this opportunity to pursue the Liao army, and the Liao army was defeated. This battle showed Wanyan Aguda's extraordinary courage and outstanding military commanding ability. After this battle, the Liao Kingdom fell into ruins.

It was also in this year that Wanyan Aguda was declared emperor and his country was named Daijin.

While the Jurchens were fighting fiercely with the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty army was pinned down on the northwest border. However, recapturing Youyun 16 Weeks has always been the dream of all Song emperors. At this time, the Song Dynasty saw that the Liao Kingdom was trapped in a battle with the Jurchens.

They wanted to take this opportunity to take back the 16 Youyun states, so they formed an alliance with the Jin Kingdom to jointly fight against the Liao Kingdom.

Since the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom were not directly bordering each other, the envoys sent by the Song Dynasty had to reach the Jin Kingdom by water to discuss the alliance. Wanyan Aguda agreed to jointly attack the Liao Kingdom with the Song Dynasty. The two sides signed a contract in 1120 AD, and the two parties agreed that the Song Dynasty

The Jin State and the Jin State each attacked the Liao State according to the agreed march routes. The Jin State was responsible for attacking the Dading Prefecture in Zhongjing of the Liao State, and the Song Army was responsible for attacking the Liao State's Nanjing and Xijing. The Song Dynasty saw that the Jurchens had formed an absolute advantage over the Liao State,

And now the two sides have formed an alliance, so the Song Dynasty gave the annual gift to the Liao Kingdom to the Jin Kingdom. The Jin Kingdom agreed to give the 16 Youyun states to the Song Dynasty after success. This is the famous maritime alliance in history.

Xixia has always had a good relationship with the Liao State. When the Xixia army was at a disadvantage in fighting the Song Dynasty, it repeatedly requested reinforcements from the Liao State. Although in most cases the Liao State did not directly send troops to assist Xixia, it did so through diplomacy.

The pressure was exerted to ease the tension in Xixia, so the Xixia people always turned to the Liao Kingdom. At this time, the Xixia Kingdom decided to help the Liao Kingdom resist the Jin Kingdom.

Li Qianshun planned to send 5,000 troops to reinforce the Liao Kingdom. Before setting off, he heard that Zhongjing had been captured by the Jin soldiers. After capturing Zhongjing, the Jin soldiers turned to attack Xijing of the Liao Kingdom. Originally, according to the agreement, Xijing was composed of

The Song Army was responsible for the attack, but due to a series of reasons, the Song Army was too useless, so this advantage was taken by the Jin State. After capturing Xijing, the Liao Emperor was defeated and fled. Li Qianshun sent another army to rescue the Liao State.

The Xixia army met a small Jin army and completely annihilated it. The Xinxia army knew that the main force of the Jin army would come again, so they set up an ambush here. Sure enough, another Jin army came, but the number was still not enough.

However, the Jin army was still defeated by the Xixia army. The Xixia army thought that after two victories, the Jin army should be afraid. So they continued to advance in victory, until they reached the southeastern area of ​​Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, where they penetrated deep into the enemy territory.

, was attacked on both sides, and was finally defeated and fled. Xixia lost thousands of soldiers. On the way to escape, the river surged and many people drowned.

In 1123 AD, Li Qinshun once again planned to send troops to rescue the Liao Kingdom, but was blocked by the Jin soldiers. The Xixia army had to temporarily station in the border area of ​​the Liao Kingdom. In May of this year, the Jin Kingdom raided the Liao Tianzuo Emperor who was hiding in the Yingshan area. , the Emperor of the Liao State sent an envoy to the Jin State to send a national seal and pretended to surrender, and then took the opportunity to flee westward to what is now Tumed Left Banner in Inner Mongolia. Li Qianshun heard that the Emperor of the Liao State was very close to the border of Xixia, so he sent troops to greet him. Just when Li Qianshun was preparing to welcome the Emperor of Liao to enter the country, envoys from the Kingdom of Jin also came to Xixia. The envoys from the Kingdom of Jin said to Li Qianshun, if the Emperor of the Liao Kingdom takes refuge in your country, I hope you can take him there. He was captured and given to the Kingdom of Jin, and he also promised that after Xixia, the Kingdom of Jin would treat him the same way that the Liao Kingdom treated Xixia. He also promised to cede the northwest area of ​​the Liao Kingdom to the Xixia Kingdom. Li Qianshun saw that the demise of the Liao Kingdom was inevitable, so in order to protect himself Due to his strength, he had no choice but to agree to the conditions of the Kingdom of Jin.

In the first month of 1124 AD, Li Qianshun sent an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin, saying that he would treat the Kingdom of Jin just like he had treated the Liao Kingdom before, and formally surrender to the Kingdom of Jin. Moreover, Li Qianshun also proposed to let the women fulfill their previous promises and bring the northwest of the Liao Kingdom to the Jin Kingdom. The area was ceded to Xixia. However, because there was a contract between the Jin State and the Song Dynasty, Wuzhou had already been given to the Song Dynasty. Xixia and the Song Dynasty started to rob several cities, and the two sides were in a stalemate. Li Qianshun continued to send The envoy went to the Jin Kingdom and asked the Jin Kingdom to fulfill its promise, but Jin Taizong was perfunctory and blocked the Xixia people.

In February 1125 AD, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty was captured by the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom was destroyed. In September of that year, the prince of Xixia cried and begged his father not to seek refuge with the Jin Kingdom. Moreover, when he heard the news of the demise of the Liao Kingdom, he died of grief and anger. , this year is only 17 years old.

The empire built by Yelu Abaoji lasted for more than 100 years and then officially perished. Now it has ended the three-legged confrontation between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty in Xixia, and has officially entered a new three-legged confrontation between the Jin Kingdom, the Song Dynasty and Xixia.
