Chapter 432 Genghis Khan
{Jin Zhangzong Wanyan Jing reminds me of Li Sanlang of the Tang Dynasty. They were both at the peak of their power in the early period, but at the turning point of decline in the later period. They were the kings of turning points.}
{The calligraphy of Jin Zhangzong can be regarded as the reincarnation of Song Huizong Zhao Ji. The calligraphy of the Song Dynasty's thin gold style is unique and can reach the level of simulation.}
{However, excessive sinicization also caused the Jin Dynasty's Meng'an and Mouke system to decline, and the army's combat effectiveness plummeted, which laid the tragic color and foreshadowing for the Jin Dynasty's subsequent invasion by the Mongol Empire's army and its eventual destruction at the hands of the Mongols.}
{In fact, in terms of political ability, Jin Zhangzong can be regarded as second-rate and similar to Wei Mingdi.}
{The ability to handle domestic affairs and develop the economy is quite strong.}
{However, I was born in a peaceful and prosperous era, and was deeply influenced by Han culture and Confucianism.}
{He lived a luxurious life and built a lot of buildings, which led to his decline in the later period, which is a bit like Li Longji.}
……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji felt a little uncomfortable.

"Haha! ...It does seem a bit like a light at the beginning but dark at the end."

"Well, General Gao, how do you think we can maintain this martial spirit?"

Should the feudal lords be retained?
Li Longji fell into confusion.

"I feel like there is an invisible net enveloping me and the Tang Dynasty."

Gao Lishi was also a little worried.

The consequence of the feudal lords was the Five Dynasties.

The consequence of the Song system was partial peace.

Neither of these two is a good approach.

If you want to choose the lesser of two evils...

Neither of them is lightly harmful.

……

[At that time, the Song Dynasty heard that the Jin Dynasty was invaded by the Tatars (Mongolia) and other tribes in the north, and the country was getting weaker. ]

【Han Tuozhou banned pseudo-learning due to party disputes, so he wanted to make great achievements to silence the public. 】

[Emissary Deng Youlong returned from the Kingdom of Jin and said that the Kingdom of Jin was weak and could be easily defeated if attacked. Han Tuozhou then decided to attack the Kingdom of Jin.]

[In 1204 AD, Han Tuozhou decided to posthumously confer the title of King of E on Yue Fei to encourage his soldiers.]

[He also ordered Wu Xi, the grandson of Wu Lin, to train troops in Shu in preparation for a large-scale attack.]

[In 1206 AD, the Song Dynasty sent troops to attack the Jin Dynasty and successively recovered several cities including Sizhou and Hongxian. ]

[The Song army then attacked Suzhou, Shouzhou and other places, but all failed. Wu Xi surrendered to the Jin Dynasty and asked to be the King of Shu. The situation was very unfavorable.]

……

Cao Wei.

"Sun Tzu said there are five things and seven strategies."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and said disdainfully:
"The Song Dynasty ignored his plan."

"It is not about who is stronger, the general or the commander."

“It does not talk about the politics of people’s livelihood on both sides.”

"Catching shadows and taking action rashly."

"How can we not be defeated?"

Liu Bei held his knees and sighed.

"Neither the ruler nor his ministers know how to fight; those who know how to fight do not know when to do it."

“Don’t ask for people’s sentiments, don’t investigate hostility.”

“You don’t know yourself, and you don’t know others.”

"Since Emperor Taizong of Song, it has been like this."

"It is said that the ruler and ministers who cannot recover at the right time."

"The root of this is that the Song Dynasty system was flawed."

Sun Quan looked left and right.

"That's right!"

……

【Emperor Jin Zhangzong sent his minister Pushan Kui to lead troops to march southward in different directions. They successively captured important towns in Huainan and marched all the way to the north of the Yangtze River. The Southern Song court was greatly shocked.】

[In 1207 AD, Wu Xi was killed by his subordinates, Sichuan was saved and the situation was slightly relieved. ]

[Han Tuozhou regretted his mistake and sent envoys to the Jin camp to negotiate peace. The Jin people demanded his head, and Han Tuozhou was furious and wanted to use military force again.]

[Empress Yang of Emperor Ningzong of Song and Minister of Rites Shi Miyuan both had grudges against Han Tuozhou, so they urged him to be killed to thank the Jin people, and Emperor Ningzong of Song agreed.]

[Shi Miyuan waited for Han Tuozhou to attend the morning court session and then ambushed and killed him.]

[In 1208 AD, Song and Jin reached peace again. Based on the old events of Jingkang, Jin and Song became uncle and nephew.]

[The annual tribute was increased to 300,000 taels of silver and silk.]

[Song also gave Jin three million taels of silver as a reward for the army, and Jin also returned the Huai and Shaanxi areas it had invaded to the Southern Song. In addition, Song sent Han Tuozhou's head to Jin in a letter.]

……

Northern Qi Dynasty: Cultural and Propaganda Period
"We can't defeat the weakened Jin Kingdom?"

Gao Yang propped up his head, feeling helpless.

"You really have no self-awareness at all?"

"Then why are you doing this?"

"you……"

For the first time, Gao Yang felt that in terms of madness, the Northern and Southern Dynasties seemed to be less crazy than the Song Dynasty.

……

Great Song.

Zhao Kuangyin remained calm.

No need.

So be it.

All I can say is that it was totally beyond his expectations.

The soldiers rebelled and betrayed their ministers.

"Haha...hahahaha!"

"My Great Song! We have our own national conditions!" "Hahahaha!"

A drop of cold sweat slid down Zhao Kuangyi's forehead.

……

[While Song and Jin were competing with each other, the overlord on the grassland had already unified the scattered grassland tribes. ]

……

On the canopy.

In the cloudless sky, an eagle spread its wings and circled.

The lush green grassland is connected to the blue sky.

The breeze walks between the two.

The eagle looked down.

Countless white yurts stretch all the way to the horizon.

Countless cattle, sheep, camels and wine barrels were arranged in dense piles.

They were surrounded by a pile of stones.

On the pile of stones.

The golden three-pronged spear head sparkled in the sunlight.

The tip of the spear in the middle is a bit blood red and eye-catching.

The base of the spear is a brass disk.

There are nine holes around the edge of the plate, and nine two-foot-long white horsehair hairs are tied on them as tassels.

Below the spear head is a sacred wooden pole wrapped in golden threads.

The tail of the spear drill is a half-foot long tapered stainless steel sleeve.

It protected the tip of the sacred tree pole and inserted it directly into the Aobao stone pile.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

Nine horns blew three long blasts.

Passing in front of the Aobao, there was a white carriage tent pulled by nine white horses.

Six hundred strong and young warriors wearing cowhide armor and carrying curved swords on their waists lined up around the tent.

On the car account.

He wore a white felt hat and a white cross-collared robe.

A tall, sharp-eyed middle-aged man sat on a large golden chair.

Looking at the huge pile of firewood in front of the white horse.

“Whoooooooooooooooooo!”

The warriors' roars resounded through heaven and earth.

A girl in a white robe walked up to the firewood pile and threw the torch in her hand into the firewood pile, and a raging flame immediately burned.

The shaman, wearing a magic hat, a magic bell and a magic drum around his waist, dances a magic dance and circles around the sacred fire.

The three words "Changshengtian" were chanted over and over again in his mouth.

Countless people from the grassland gathered around the Aobao, the tent and the sacred fire.

They lowered their heads and placed their right hands on their chests.

The dance stops.

The shaman returned to the world from heaven.

He opened his old but bright eyes.

Glancing at all the people who are waiting for God's grace.

The ethereal and penetrating sound is like the lingering ending of a guitar string, clearly speaking every word into people's hearts.

"Eternal Heaven sends a message to the loyal followers of the Mongolian tribe!"

"God has given the entire earth to Temujin."

"He is the Khan of the entire earth and ocean. May the Eternal Heaven bless him with benevolence and love for his people, and bring benefits to the world."

"God named him 'Genghis Khan'!"

The voice just fell.

Earth-shaking cheers immediately broke out on the grassland!
"Genghis Khan! Genghis Khan!"

Just at this moment, dozens of colorful auspicious birds flew over, chirping softly.

They circled above Temujin's head for several weeks, and then slowly flew away into the distance.

The people on the grassland knelt on their knees and shouted from the bottom of their hearts:

"Genghis Khan!"

"A hero of the grassland, a descendant of the gods!"

The sun shines on Temujin.

He sat upright in the dazzling golden light.

People bowed their heads and worshiped again, and did not get up for a long time.

……

[In March 1206, Temujin Borjigin of the Qiyan tribe of the Mongolian people unified the Mongolian grasslands and established the Great Mongol Empire.]

[All tribes unanimously elected him as the Great Khan, and gave him the title of "Genghis Khan"]
