The rapid changes in the current situation are really dazzling. One turning point after another makes people in the current situation feel nervous and breathless.

After losing the Central Plains and moving the capital to Chang'an, the Western Song Dynasty was originally in a very unfavorable situation in this "Three Kingdoms Kill".

But in a blink of an eye, because of the desire for reform, the gloomy atmosphere that Song Dynasty had been in its founding for more than 100 years.

In the spring of the second year of Jingkang, not only did the land reform in the Guanzhong Plain complete the land reform, but all the land consolidation along the border of Shaanxi was also completed, and the land reform in the Hanzhong Basin was also completed. In Shaanxi and Sichuan, which were directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in Chang'an, as many as 250,000 knights and military households appeared!

In addition, the Jingchu territory, which once had a tendency to separate, had to turn to Zhao Huan because Zhao Kai proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangning.

Now the military households that Chang'an can control have increased to 330,000 at once!

Although this number is only about half of that of the Zhou Kingdom, it is enough to crush the Eastern Song Dynasty, Xiliang and Jin Kingdoms.

Under such circumstances, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War in Chang'an did not choose to attack the Eastern Song Dynasty in the east, because that would break the balance of power of the Three Kingdoms, and it might lead to another war in the Central Plains.

Therefore, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War in Chang'an still regarded the attack on the Jin Kingdom as a phased goal.

Although the Jin Kingdom's territory is not large and it is not considered wealthy. However, it is undoubtedly a good whetstone for the Western Song Dynasty, which had just recovered from difficulties.

Only by sharpening the knife can we test the wind direction of the Central Plains.

There are two purposes for sharpening the knife. One is to practice with the Jin Kingdom to see how strong the military household soldiers who have completed the field teaching are?

Another purpose is of course to integrate the internal forces with an external war, that is, to unite the three forces of the Jingchu Army, the Guanzhong Army and the Shaanxi Border Army.

For this reason, the Ministry of War of the Western Song Dynasty has been negotiating with the Jingchu Legion in the past few months - the relationship between Jingchu, Guanzhong and Shaanxi Border Army is really a bit complicated. It is not three independent warlord groups. Because their backbone all come from the Martial Arts Academy in Kaifeng. It can be said that you have me and I have you, but they are not completely integrated.

At least not one yet!

Therefore, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council of the Western Song Dynasty wanted to completely unite the three aspects through a war.

The negotiations between the following parties were basically reached in the first month of the second year of Jingkang.

The Shaanxi border army and the Guanzhong army were basically integrated, while the Jingchu army maintained a certain degree of independence and could have its own Jingchu army's strategic and pacification and control department, and the commander was appointed by the King of Xiangyang.

In addition, the Jingchu Army will also set up its own Jingchu Camp Field Office to be responsible for managing the military household fields and farms in the Jingchu area.

However, the Jingchu army would not set up an independent military academy, but would work with the Guanzhong Army. The Shaanxi border army shared a Huashan Martial Arts Hall. The Wuxue Academy moved to Guanzhong and renamed it the Martial Arts Hall, and set up the school site at the foot of Huashan Mountain, which was known in history as the "Huashan Martial Arts Hall".

The children of Guanzhong military households, Shaanxi border military households and Jingchu military households can all apply to the Huashan Military Academy. After graduation, they will "work nearby", which means they will start from various systems to become officers and be promoted step by step.

The officers from the Ministry of War, the Privy Council and the Military Academy will be drawn from the three major systems at a certain proportion.

In addition, every national war, the army from three sides must participate at the same time. However, whoever is closer to the battlefield will be the main force.

In principle, the Shaanxi Border Army (including Shuofang Army) is responsible for the northern and western fronts, the Jingchu Army is responsible for the eastern and southern fronts, and the Guanzhong Army is responsible for the Central Plains battlefield.

This time, the northward advance is the first collaboration between the three major systems.

In order to ensure victory in advance north, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War drew 7 divisions of troops from the three major systems. Among them, the Jingchu Army provided 1 division (the commander Yue Fei), the Guanzhong Army provided 2 divisions (the commander was Zhang Jun and Wang De), and the Shaanxi border army provided 4 divisions (the commander was Yao Pingzhong, Wang Yuan, Zhong Yanchong and Zhang Zhongfu).

In addition, Gao Yaokang of Lingzhou and Zhangli of Xiliang will also send troops to assist in the war, and the two sides will work together to provide a cavalry division.

In other words, the total force used to attack Jin in the north this time was 8 divisions, about 18,000 people. Their artillery was equipped with more than 120 artillery pieces and nearly 3,000 muskets!

It is really a powerful army!

However, since the military use is located in the Hetao grassland, a large number of civilians must be mobilized.

Fortunately, when the Jin Dynasty and the Zubu people invaded Shuofang Road, a large number of Shuofang people fled to Tongwancheng.

In Tongwan City, the savings of Shuofang Road's military farming for many years were stored, which was enough to support a northward battle.

After completing the organization, dispatch and intensive training of the troops, on the first day of the first month of the Jingkang year of the Western Song Dynasty, Qu Duan, who served as the commander of the Northern Expedition Army and the plagiarism and placing the supporter of Shuofang Road, gathered all the generals in Yanzhou to fight for the Northern Expedition, and put on the stance of deciding the Yinshan Mountains of Hetao in one fell swoop!

...

At the foot of Yinshan Mountain, Shunyi City.

Compared to the lively scene of gathering troops in Yanzhou at this time in the Western Song Dynasty, people were shuttled back and forth. At this time, this northern city was indescribable and deserted.

Faced with the aggressive Western Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom had lost the courage to resist and had no determination to fight against the enemy.

The reason why they were unwilling to fight and dared not fight was not only because of the strength of the Western Song army, but because Wanyan Zongbi brought back good news from Tianjin.

The Great Zhou Republic will allow them to move westward!

Is the Great Zhou Republic necessary to allow the westward migration?

Of course!

Because Xiao Sesse, under the support of Wu Haogu, has now established the banner of Bei Xi Kingdom in Kedun City.

Xiao Yan, Xiao Gan, and Wu Yixin, who was sent by the Great Zhou Republic Army to assist in the grassland, were not easy to deal with.

The powerful Mongolians and Tatars on the grassland were also imposed by Xiao Seser using various means - of course, another reason for their obedience was that the thorns on the grassland were consumed a lot.

People on the grassland are not born with fierceness, they are simply forced by a cruel living environment.

The cruelty of the living environment is sometimes related to the amount of population carried by this environment.

In the past ten years, several large-scale conflicts have been experienced on the grassland. The Khitan declined, the Jurchens rose, the Dashi came from the east and went west, pulling away hundreds of thousands of people! Then there was the tug-of-war between the Great Jin and Dongliao, the collapse of the Dongliao, and the rise of Beixi... It was really your turn to the stage!

After rounds of tossing, the population on the grassland naturally dropped sharply. When Xiao Seser established a royal court in Kedun City, I didn’t know if there were 700,000 people on the entire Mobei grassland?

There are no people, so of course there are fewer bad people. Even if Xiao Sesse is a female, not many people will fight with her.

In this case, Xiao Sesse is actually unwilling to stop the Jurchens from moving west... No matter where they go, just don't squeeze in Mobei.

The Xi people let go, and the Jin people no longer had the determination to fight again.

In the past few years, they have been really troubled. The young and middle-aged people in the clan consume a lot of money. If they fight hard, they will only die.

So by this time, the Shunyi Royal City had become a city that was about to be abandoned.

Most of the Jurchen nobles and craftsmen of all races who originally lived in the city had packed up their things and moved out of the city where they lived for many years. They set up tents in the wilderness outside the city!

The guards of the Jurchens were also gathered around Shunyi City. There were twenty Mengans in total, all of whom went from half-agricultural and semi-herd to nomads. Countless cattle, sheep and horses were driven over, covering the grasslands around Shunyi Mansion.

The vanguard of the expedition had already set out and explored towards the desolate western part of the Desolate Grassland.

It is impossible to get a long journey of 20,000 miles in one step, so you can only grazing while walking.

If it weren't for the integration of many Tatar tribes and the Bu Bi tribes, the Jurchens nowadays would probably not have long-distance nomads!

Even if there are some Tatars and people who are blocking the divine people, the plan for traveling must be extremely cautious. The route must be planned in advance, and enough advance teams must be sent to find pastures and camps along the way - otherwise I don’t know where I will spend the next winter!

Wu Qimai Zheng, Wanyan Zongbi, and Wanyan Xieye stood together at the majestic Shunyi City, looking at the huge castle, with tears in his eyes.

The Jurchens are suffering!

After finally reaching the rise, I met the rise of the Han people again!

Moreover, not only did the Great Zhou Dynasty take off, but even the Song Dynasty, which had always been quite cowardly, became fierce and good at fighting...

"Let's go!" Wu Qimai sighed, "Go to the West to find the future of our Jurchens!"

"Brother Wang..." Xie also wanted to comfort his brother.

"Don't call Brother Wang..." Wu Qimai shook his head, "Since we are going to migrate nomadicly, we are no longer a kingdom, but a Khanate..."

"Khanguo?" Zongbi frowned, "Dajin Khanguo?"

"Big Gold?" Wu Qimai shook his head and raised his hand to point to a golden tent in the distance. "The big gold is gone, there is only a golden tent... It was snatched from the Liao people, and that was the most glorious time of our Jurchens!

Let’s do this, our country is called the Golden Horde!”

"Golden Horde?" Xi nodded, "Okay, good name! When we arrive in the West, the reputation of the Golden Horde will definitely spread all over the world."

In the summer of the second year of Jingkang in the Western Song Dynasty, when the Northern Expedition Army attacked the Hetao grassland, the Jingkang migration, which was later prime minister of the Jin Horde and historian Wanyan Zongbi, officially began.

In order to avoid the terrible Song army, the Jurchens with a population of more than 600,000 (many other ethnic groups were incorporated into the Jurchens, and many people who were not suitable for traveling were excluded), embarked on a distant journey. This journey took more than 25,000 miles and a full five years...

A few years later, a nomadic tribe that claimed to be the Golden Horde and possessed terrible gunpowder weapons suddenly appeared on the edge of the Europa continent.
