The struggle of the reborn prince

In order to avenge their hatred, these clansmen who believe in longevity and miracles desperately hope that there will be an unrivaled hero to lead them to vent their resentment.So they supported Hebul Khan's fourth son, Hutuci, to ascend the throne of Khan, and handed over the entire army to him to take charge of the crusade against the Tatar tribe.

Immediately after being promoted, this miraculous hero led the elder and younger clan members of Albahai Khan and all the Mongolian tribes on a journey of revenge, thus opening the cycle of the Mongolian tribe and the Tatars, and the Jurchens. The prologue of the Vengeance War.Since then, hatred has been like a ubiquitous ghost, covering the plains and highlands of the Mongolian plateau, filling the air and hearts of the desert north and south.Whether it is the strong or the weak, they are distorted by this seemingly legitimate reason, and together they begin to accept any consequences that their lives should not bear.

At first, Hu Tuci was quite sober and knew that there was still a gap between his own strength and the Jurchens. Although the Jurchens were suppressed by the Song Dynasty now, the Song Dynasty was almost defeated by him 20 years ago.The persimmon had to be picked softly, so Hutu Chai Khan first led the army to attack the Tatar people. The two sides fought many times, but it was not easy to pinch the drum.Not only did the Mughals fail to catch the murderer who murdered Ibahai Khan.On the contrary, in a war, the eldest son of Hebul Khan, Hehei, was captured by the Tatars, and they sent him to the Kingdom of Jin, where he was nailed to a wooden donkey and executed...

"Oh, young people are still too reckless!" Zhao Tun shook his head and sighed after reading the battle report. Hu Tulu's retaliatory attack did not get much reward. He didn't quite understand the saying "Hide your strengths and bide your time". Revenge, ten years is not too late.On this point, his nephew Temujin understands much more thoroughly than he does!

"Your Majesty, should we remind the Mughals to keep calm?" Shang Hu, chief of the Military Intelligence Department, saw that the emperor was dissatisfied with the new Mughal Khan.asked hastily.

"No need, this is an infighting between their Tatar tribes, it's inconvenient for us to intervene, and if we manage too much, it will cause their misunderstanding!" Zhao Tong waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, if the Mughals lose in the war, the Tatars will become more and more arrogant, and they are supported by the Kingdom of Jin!" Shang Hu was very puzzled by the emperor's attitude today. It's not, he couldn't help reminding.

"Hehe. I'm not so confused as to distinguish between black and white." Hearing Shang Hu's kindness, Zhao Tun couldn't help laughing, "The Mengwu tribe is an important pawn for us to contain the Jurchens, and Hebule also has an oath with us. After my death, Ibahai succeeded to the throne and sent envoys to greet us and show respect. However, after the death of mybahai, the Mughal tribe held a "Kuriletai" meeting, but they did not invite me, Da Song, to attend. Tuci has not sent an envoy to inform us of his succession. What do all these signs indicate?"

"Yes, yes, people who are not of our race must have a different heart. Even if we form an alliance with the Mughal tribe, even if it is an ally, the previous Khan died and the new Khan succeeded to the throne. We should tell Song. But they didn't The real person killed my baby and asked us for help, but he didn't tell His Majesty. I'm afraid he already has the intention of leaving the Song Dynasty!" Shang Hu was reminded by the emperor and immediately understood the joint, which is exactly what the emperor said back then. There are no friends in front of interests.After the death of the Mughal tribe, its successors felt that they were full-fledged and did not need shelter, and began to despise the Song Dynasty.

"Well, that's exactly how it is. The Mughal tribe has now been blinded by hatred, attacking everywhere regardless of their own abilities, and forming grievances with other tribes. Kutuji is also more than brave, lacks resourcefulness, and doesn't know how to take advantage of the situation. Sooner or later, he will be defeated. The vitality of the Mengwu tribe has been greatly injured, and everyone has betrayed their relatives!" Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is really good at predicting things. Your subordinates have urgent military reports!" Shang Hu sighed in his heart after hearing the emperor's assertion, but from a battle report, the emperor could make an accurate judgment on the development and outcome of the battle situation.

"Oh, sit down and talk!" Zhao Tuo put down the teacup he just picked up, and beckoned Xiao Huangmen to bring Shang Hu a round stool to sit down and talk, he watched Shang Hu's nervous expression relax , there is a flattered expression on his face, and he has served as a confidant by his side for a long time. In their view, his stool is not just for sitting, but contains too much meaning.

It can be said that Zhao Tong was born in this world with a golden key in his mouth. He was born with a chair under his buttocks. As his status continued to improve, his understanding of the seat became more and more profound. In fact, this thing is a typical material and spiritual union.If you have a chair, you can sit and talk or do things, and many people have to give face, which is actually material; sit on it and watch others stand, so you don’t have a sense of superiority, and you feel refreshed, which is naturally spiritual. up.

But when there are too many people sitting on the chairs, they have to be arranged in an order, and there are grades, and the seats represent another kind of spirit.Grades are indispensable, such as army command, without grades, there is no efficiency.But it should not be too strict. If it is too strict, it will become an obstacle. Psychological obstacles, work obstacles, there is a saying of giving a seat, so that subordinates have a sense of equality, and thanks to the boss for giving him a seat, he has a sense of closeness and estrangement.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your seat!" Shang Hu thanked him for sitting down, and then said, "My subordinates received a report from the Fusi garrison and spies in Dading Town, saying that the Jin army was using the name of intercepting the fugitives to move troops to the west. It was Lie Zhining, Heshi, who actually hid the iron floating map in his department. The spies thought it was strange and quickly reported it. At first, the subordinate thought that he was going to use troops against us in the Song Dynasty. Only after hearing what His Majesty said just now, did he realize that his judgment was wrong. Mughal."

"Tell me in detail!" Zhao Tong said, pointing to the wall on the right hand side of the study, the little yellow door immediately stepped forward and opened the curtain, revealing a large map of the roads in the northwest. He moved over, and Shang Hu also left quickly. The warm stool moved over, and he wouldn't dare to sit still even if he had the guts.

"Your Majesty, this year's severe drought has not only affected the northern part of our Great Song Dynasty, but the Jin Kingdom has also been affected by the drought, but they are unable to cope with it, and the people have to leave their homes to escape the famine. But in order to prevent refugees from flooding into the Liaodong area, the Jurchens , Arranged soldiers to stop them, forcing the refugees to go west, and the disaster victims of the Kingdom of Jin heard that our Linhuang Mansion had opened a warehouse for disaster relief, and they all flowed into our country." Shang Hu pointed to the map and said.

"The people of the Kingdom of Jin can only barely fill their stomachs in good years. In bad harvest years, they have to use wild vegetables to survive the shortage. Nowadays, wild vegetables are hard to find. The people of the Kingdom of Jin are suffering!" Zhao Tong nodded.

"Your Majesty's words are right. The Jurchen expropriated and extorted. Not only did they not provide disaster relief, but instead ordered the soldiers to prevent the victims from moving to the fertile land for food. The implementation of tyrannical government will definitely lead to the loss of people's hearts!" Shang Hu said, but he thought in his heart that the Kingdom of Jin has fallen to this point. Isn’t it all thanks to your Majesty, the economic blockade has made the economy of the Jin Kingdom half-dead. In addition to providing the emperor with drinking, he has to raise troops to prevent invasion. There is no room for coins in the treasury. Even if he wants to rescue disasters, what can he use to save it? !

"Hehe, I've been out there for two years. My flattery is getting better and better. In fact, I don't want to see this kind of situation, but we can't be soft-hearted, because they are still our enemies, and they can become a murderer who invades our Song Dynasty at any time. , but we have to arrange for those who are willing to come, and don't treat them harshly!" Zhao Tong said.

"Your Majesty is wise, everyone expects us to do so, and we will succeed in cutting gold!" Although the emperor said it with a smile.But Shanghu was in a cold sweat, and the emperor could guess what he was thinking through his belly, "If the refugees from the Kingdom of Jin want to enter the jurisdiction of our Linhuang Mansion, they must travel a long distance. On the way, only Yu'erluo can rest and replenish their strength. Therefore A large number of refugees from the Kingdom of Jin gathered there, and according to spies, there were tens of thousands of people. It was also a nomadic place for the Tatars, especially because the drought caused the grass to wither. This is an important settlement for their tribes. , and became an important target for the Mughals to attack.”…

"So you suspect that the Jurchens sent troops here in the name of preventing the refugees from crossing the border. In fact, they wanted to harm the Mughals, not to use troops against our Great Song!" Zhao Tong said.Yu'erluo was only more than 200 miles away from the boundary line drawn by the Song and Jin Dynasties. The eastern edge of the safety zone defined by Zhao Tuo was less than a hundred miles away from the Heishui River, but it was already outside the boundary.

"Your Majesty, before this subordinate also thought that the Jin Kingdom mobilized the army to plunder our Linhuang Mansion in a disaster year to make up for the shortage, but just after listening to His Majesty's analysis of the dispute between Mengwu and Tatar, this subordinate thought it was the Jin Kingdom If you want to unite with the Tatars to eliminate the Mughals, otherwise, if it is just to intercept the refugees, why use Tiefutu? Heshi Lie Zhining is the commander in chief. Now he is the leader of the new generation of Jurchen generals and the son-in-law of Wushu! "

"Well, there is some truth, you continue to talk about it!" Zhao Tong said while looking at the map.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The Mongols have been enemies of the Jurchens since the beginning of Hebula. Although the Kingdom of Jin dispatched a large army several times to encircle and suppress them, they were severely damaged, but they failed to eliminate them. Afterwards, under the support of His Majesty, they made a comeback. The Kingdom of Jin regards it as a confidant's trouble. Wan Yanquan's execution of my child by torture shows that he hates the Mughals. And they have been supporting the Tatars in order to contain the Mughals and form a strategic buffer. Hope to use this Weakening its momentum of development, so the Tatars and the Mughals would turn against each other is what the Kingdom of Jin would most like to see." Shang Hu took a breath and continued.

"The Tatars dedicate my child to the Jurchens, which meant to kill people with a knife, and also meant to drag the Jurchens into the dispute between the two. In this way, the alliance between the two could be consolidated, and the relationship between the Jin and the Mughals would be strengthened." The hatred of the Mughals deepened, forcing the Jurchens to help them fight against the Mughals. The Jurchens also had no good intentions. At the beginning, they just sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, their intention was just not to wipe out the Mughals. They have grown stronger and become their new enemy, so they deliberately let the two fight to the death and their strength is greatly weakened. At this time, they can not only destroy the Mughals, but also continue to play with the Tatars!"

"The analysis is very good, and the problem is very thorough. You, the chief officer of the military intelligence department, are taking advantage of your position, so how do you think we should deal with it?" Zhao Tong praised authentically, and at the same time threw him a question, wanting to hear his opinion opinion.

"Your Majesty has praised you, and I only thought of this after being reminded by Your Majesty!" Shang Hu was naturally pleased with His Majesty's praise, and replied modestly, "This subordinate thinks that since the Kingdom of Jin wants to destroy the Mughals, it will relieve the troubles of the heart and soul. , and he has the heart to betray the alliance, then we will stand by and let the Jin people do whatever they want, and get rid of them!"

"What you said is still one-sided, and you haven't seen the essence of the matter. We support the Mughals, and the Jin Kingdom supports the Tatars. In fact, this is just a war between agents. The struggle between them is ours. In the battle between the Song and Jin Dynasties, both wanted to use the forces supported by each to contain the other's troops. Once they gained the upper hand, then we must deploy heavy troops on the front lines of Linhuang Mansion and Dading Mansion to prevent the Tatars from harassing them. And once we dispatch a large army to suppress them, they can retreat into the Kingdom of Jin to take refuge, but it is limited to the peace talks between the two countries, and we are temporarily unable to enter the country to pursue them, so it will become a protracted war!" Zhao Tong said.

"Then what His Majesty means is that we will continue to support the Mughals, at least remind them not to fall for the tricks of the Jurchens!" Shang Hu said.

"No, we're not going to do anything now. Hu Tuci needs a lesson to understand which side of the Kang is hot. We can support him, and we can also find someone to replace him!" Zhao Tong waved his hand and said...
