The struggle of the reborn prince

The severe drought in the north lasted until August and autumn. Only a few rains fell. When the drought eased, the government transferred seeds and planted winter wheat in a hurry, but this will not be harvested until the next summer harvest. Winter and spring Bailouts are needed for both seasons.Fortunately, the continuous improvement of the Song Dynasty's economic situation in the past few years has laid a good foundation, and it has been able to cope with such a large disaster without causing major chaos and causing social shocks. However, the emperor's active disaster relief measures once again brought his reputation to a new level. steps.

Zhao Tuo seized the opportunity of lack of money for the slack farmers, invested a large sum of money to set off a climax of infrastructure construction again, and provided high subsidies to promote the immigration plan to Mobei and Gaochang areas.Governments in various places used a lot of manpower to widen the roads from Dading to Linhuang Mansion and Gaochang, and set up post stations and delivery shops to improve traffic capacity and message transmission speed.In addition, tens of thousands of civilians built a port in Yingzhou that could moor [-] ships, making large-scale mobilization of troops by sea and transporting grain from south to north a reality, and improving the level of combat readiness in Pingzhou.

Reclamation and frontier defense is an important measure to maintain national security. At the same time, it can also change the ethnic composition of the Northwest region, speed up ethnic integration through exchanges with various ethnic groups, and assimilate nomadic peoples with Central Plains culture.In the past, although various incentive measures were introduced, the effect was not obvious. Now it is just time to use the opportunity of the disaster to use the temptation of propaganda and money to attract people to move to the unaffected areas in the northwest.Although it is difficult for a poor family to leave, some people still feel that it is better to go out and venture out than to sit and guard, and maybe they can live a better life. Under the influence of this kind of psychology, many people embarked on the road of heading north.

And the debate about the "barbarians" in the newspapers also died down with the completion of projects everywhere. Those Arab craftsmen did have their own uniqueness in some aspects, whether it was the planning of the canal, or the construction of the project and the application of water conservancy machinery.These achievements make those conservative forces see what they see.I understand that even a great country does not take the lead in everything. Only by constantly absorbing the achievements of advanced civilizations from the outside world can it remain invincible forever.

The war between the Mughals and the Tatars was also intensified at this time.Eager for revenge, Hutura fought the Tatars more than a dozen times, but did not make any big gains.But Hu Tuji was aroused even more anger.Leading the whole family of [-] omnipotent soldiers to approach Tata'er's confidant - Yu'erluo, wanting to smash into the enemy's nest and destroy its foundation, forcing the enemy to fight with him.Hutuji, who was eager to win, didn't know that his actions were in the hands of the Tatars and the Jurchens. They had long been planning a big action to completely defeat the vitality of the Mughals and get rid of their inner troubles.

The reason why the battlefield was chosen in Yu'erluo was also carefully arranged. This is the central area of ​​the Tata'er tribe. They were familiar with the terrain, and the home battle took advantage of the geographical advantages and harmony of people; moreover, Yu'erluo was located in the territory of the Kingdom of Jin.However, the Jurchens have never directly sent troops to help the Tatars, because most of the previous battles took place in the "safe zone" designated by the Song Dynasty. The battle took place within their own territory, so they could fight back against the intruders to use force in a grandiose way, and Da Song could only stare blankly and be unable to help, so he had to swallow this useless gas!

One day in mid-August, the coalition forces of the Jinren and Tatars finally fought a decisive battle with the main force of the Mongolian army of Kutura near Yuerluo.For both parties, this is a pleasant meeting, and everyone wants to end their grievances through a decisive battle.The two armies confront each other, the flags and flags are like a sea, the wind pulls the flags, and the sound of hunting.Tatar and Jinren laughed.This time we can accomplish all our merits in one battle; Hu Tulu also laughed, well, the grievance has its head, the debt has its owner, and today the enemies are all gathered here.

Heshi Lie Zhining quietly mobilized [-] troops to concentrate on Yu'erluo.Among them, there are [-] step archers, and the bows and crossbows they hold are all imitations of the god arm bows of the Song Dynasty.It has a long range and great power; in addition, a reorganized ten thousand iron floating map was dispatched.They gave up the long knives they used in the past, and switched to long-handled broadswords and giant axes; and the light-riding kidnappers, which had always been the perfect match for iron floats, became a relatively independent mobile force.

When the enemy meets, they are extremely jealous, so there is no need to say anything, just throw off your arms and fight!Heshi Lie Zhining first ordered the Tatars to fight, and then retreated and led the Mughals into the preset battlefield.Then mobilized the Qingqi to go back to the rear of the Mughals, and arranged layers of battle formations with god-armed archers on the front of their attack, and Tie Futu was hidden behind the battle formations.The main force of the Tatars was arranged on the two wings to attack the collapsed Mughals, and to cooperate with the Jurchen Qingqi to complete their encirclement.

Blinded by hatred, Hu Tuci plunged headlong into the ambush circle according to Heshi Lie Zhining's arrangement. When he found out that the time had hit, he did not take advantage of the opportunity that the enemy's coalition encirclement had not yet been completed to break through, but led his army to attack the large formation. Impact, hope to break through in one fell swoop, destroy the enemy's formation, and capture the enemy's main general.However, their attack was struggling in front of the rain of arrows like locusts, and it was difficult to break through. However, their own casualties were getting bigger and bigger, and the momentum of the attack was suddenly reduced.

At this time, Heshi Lie Zhining released Tie Futu, who had been recharging his energy all the time. Facing the invulnerable heavy cavalry lined up in a line, the Mughals were all panicked. Weapons confronted, and the front line was repeatedly broken through.At this moment, Hutuji realized that he was not the opponent of the Jurchens and Tatar coalition forces, and it was too late to break through. The Tatars attacked from both wings, and the Jurchens' light cavalry completed a roundabout siege.

The results of the battle were quickly drawn. The Mughals rushed left and right in the encirclement like tigers, but it was difficult to break through the encirclement. However, the noose in Heshi Liezhining's hand was tightened more and more, and the space for their activities was restricted. Keep compressing.No matter how difficult it was for the Mughals to maintain their composure under the attack from all directions, Hutuji could no longer control the entire army, and all the ministries broke out as birds and beasts, and most of them fell under the enemy's swords, guns, bows and arrows. Breaking through the siege, he crossed the Heishui River and fled back to the safe zone.

The Mughal tribe who suffered heavy losses retreated to the safe zone, but the Tatars followed closely. The Mughal tribe was no longer able to fight, and their tribe was on the verge of splitting.At that time, the Mughal tribe was developed by the Haidu tribe. His two great-grandsons were both khans, that is, Hebul Khan and Ibahai Khan.After the death of my ba child, the position of the leader of the Muwu tribe was inherited by Hebuler's son.

Hu Tuci is well-known and brave, he is a powerful leader, under the big tree it is good to enjoy the shade, and everyone is willing to join him under his banner. The descendants of my Bahai hope to wipe out the Tatar people under his leadership. Revenge.Unexpectedly, due to his recklessness, not only did he fail to get revenge, but also caused the tribe to suffer heavy losses. They fled around under the pursuit of the Tatars, which made them dissatisfied. The Ministry descended from a powerful tribal alliance to an ordinary tribe...

…………

"Huh, Hu Tuci really lives up to his name. He is just a fool. He gave up his own advantages to fight against a strong enemy. Not only did he destroy his own tribe, but he also let the Tatars occupy their territory!" Zhao Tong said heavily. He clapped his hands on the long table and said with a cold snort.

"Your Majesty, calm down. After the defeat of the Mughal tribe, they continued to split. Now the population is less than [-], and there are less than [-] people who can mount a horse to fight. The loss of livestock is huge. Under the pressure of the Tatars, they had to migrate to the border of the Song Dynasty. Digging wild vegetables and picking up grass seeds to fill your stomach is very miserable!" Shang Hu hastily persuaded him, he was very puzzled, it was the emperor who forbade him to remind Hu Tuci to be careful of the Tatar people's tricks, hoping to teach them a lesson, But now I'm angry about it.

"It's self-inflicted. The Mughal tribe lacks systematic military training. The confrontation between the two armies is not its chief. Hebuler also relied on guerrilla warfare to defeat the Jurchen crusade many times, but Hutuji wanted to face a powerful enemy head-on. However, the biggest headache for the Jurchen is the tactics of the Mughals dispersing and attacking everywhere. They are hoping to have a decisive battle with them. Family property." Zhao Tong said angrily, as if Shang Hu in front of him was Hu Tu stabbing him.

"Your Majesty is right. The Mughals are like weasels. A nest of rats is not as good as a nest. How can they be undefeated!" Shang Hu secretly said with a sigh of relief. Get angry with yourself.

"If you can provide some food and grass to these unsatisfied guys if they want something, don't let them all freeze and starve to death, what about the Tatars now?" Zhao Tongxin sat down and said in a relaxed tone.

"Your subordinates understand!" Shang Hu said, "The Tatars conquered many small tribes after this battle, and now their strength has increased greatly, with a population of [-]. They have been divided into several tribes, and they have become entrenched tribes The most powerful tribe near the desert!"

"Hehe, it's really like a storm on the grassland that never subsides. It disappears in one place and reappears in another place. It's endless!" Zhao Tuo laughed instead of getting angry.

"Your Majesty, do we want to attack the arrogance of the Tatars? After all, their strength is not good for us to control the buffer zone between the Kingdom of Jin!" Shang Hu clearly saw the coldness in the emperor's smile, and suggested.

"No need, the Jurchens will take care of him, and what we have to do is to prevent the Jurchens from wooing the Mughals!" Zhao Tang shook his head.

"Your Majesty, this... this is unreasonable!" Shang Hu said puzzledly, he even wondered if the emperor was confused by anger.

"The Tata people are also greedy and self-righteous. When they think that they are strong enough and the Jin Kingdom cannot satisfy their appetite, they will try to get rid of the control of the Jurchens. This is very important for the Jin Kingdom to use the Tatar people to control the grassland for a long time. The plan is obviously unfavorable, when the tail is too big to lose, it will be the time when the Jurchens make a move, and within a year they will definitely bite the dog!" Zhao Tong said coldly, apparently already thinking about it...(.)
