The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Hututu was still a fool after all. Zhao Qiong was not so kind. He refused his request to Song, and then put Yesuge back and did not leave it as a convention, so he immediately put the hearts of their uncle and nephew.

They all bought them... and moving their tribes into the Song Dynasty cut off their opportunities for ties and reunion with other tribes. Even with the support of the Song Dynasty, it would be difficult to achieve great development.

The new location chosen by Zhao Qiong for the Mengwu tribe was near the boundary line of the Song and Jin dynasties. This made it easier for the Mengwu tribe to return to the old land, but in fact it was to throw the entire "safe area" to the Tatar people.

In the situation, the Jurchens obtained a strategic buffer, but the Song Dynasty changed the Mongols to another place, which also facilitated them to launch a cross-border attack on the Jin Kingdom. Even if the Song and Jin Dynasty reached a peace agreement, they could not restrict their behavior.

Because the nomadic land is deeply affected by the farming areas, the Tatar people have accepted the idea of ​​some farming culture, so they have lost the "pure and simple" nature of the nomadic people, and like the Wang Guren, they are known as the "smart" people on the grassland.

They didn't learn much good things, they learned a lot of tricks and tricks, and became more interested in interests and had a changeable position. They were also dependent on the Jin Kingdom because the Mengwu tribe was too powerful, so they could not beat them.

If they understand that the enemy's enemy is a friend, they can get great benefits.

The real person also needs a force to fight against the Song Dynasty, so that the Tatar people hit it off. They each took their own needs, which can be said to be a pure mutual use relationship. Everyone knows this very well, so naturally they have their own ulterior motives.

He is not rich, and he is also very stingy in aid and wants to spend less money to do more. Therefore, the Jurchens are a little worse than Zhao Qi. He spends money generously and does a good job in the face of his work.

Even though he knew it was used by the Song Dynasty, he was willing to die for him.

After the Mongols failed to move into the Song Dynasty, they were the largest tribe on the grassland, and they are now in the honeymoon period with the Jin Kingdom. I believe that if they cannot survive this winter, the Tatar people will be able to conquer them with the support of the Jurchens.

The small tribe on the grassland killed all the "remnants" of the Mengwu tribe, thus unifying the grassland into a new overlord. With the nature of the Tatar people, they will definitely no longer be willing to surrender to the Jin Kingdom, and conflicts between the two sides will be inevitable.

.

At that time, the Jin Kingdom not only had to consider dealing with the Mengwu tribe lurking around them, but also had to beware of allies who would turn against each other at any time. This would involve a lot of their energy and would also arrange more on the border.

The troops prevented changes. In the past, the western and southern parts of the Jin Dynasty bordered the Song Dynasty. In the past, the troops deployed by the Song Dynasty in the west were mainly used to prevent the Western Xia and the Tatar tribes in the north and south of the desert. There were also the Mengwu tribes and Tatar tribes between the Song and Jin Dynasties.

Between them, the Jin Kingdom has always regarded the southern border as its focus of defense.

With the current situation of the Song Dynasty's Western Expedition, Gaochang Kingdom was destroyed, Western Xia surrendered, Naiman tribe and Kelie tribe were expelled from the desert, Wanggu tribe was defeated, and the Song Dynasty had pacified the western border. Now the Mengwu tribe

When they moved into the border area of ​​Song and Jin, the Jin Kingdom would face the threat from the Song Dynasty. The Mengwu tribe also became a sharp blade that stabbed him at the waist and eyes, forcing him to move his defense center westward.

Although the eastern part of the Jin Dynasty was separated by the sea, the Song Dynasty could land in the coastal areas at any time with its advantage in the navy. It could also launch an attack on them by land through the two bases of Goryeo and Holaidian, which made them unwilling to be careful.

Unprepared. As the situation in the west is tense, the Jin Kingdom will arrange its limited troops on the entire Song and Jin border like pepper, which will cause it to fall into an embarrassing situation where defense lines are weak everywhere. As the saying goes, it will be lost.

The fence is harvested...

Zhao Qi was so generous to Hutus, who was the Mengwu tribe. The spy lurking in the Song Dynasty sent the news back to the country as soon as possible. Wu Shu heard it as if someone was pouring his head in a pot of ice while he was having fun.

Water. The mood is extremely heavy. Over the years, the Song and Jin dynasties seem to be calm. Generally, problems are resolved in the form of negotiations, and no large-scale armed conflict has erupted. But both sides understand that the hatred between the two countries is ultimately

It was also possible to resolve a war. The Song Dynasty was actively preparing, and the Jin Dynasty was not idle either.

Wu Shu presided over the government and devoted his main energy to the construction of border defense in recent years. He knew very well that after the Song Dynasty captured the northwest ranch, the situation of lack of horses was changed, and the cavalry had become its main force. And when they lost the Yan Dynasty

After the control of Yunshiliu Prefecture, the southwest border was also in a dilemma of no danger to defend. As long as the Song army was willing to force breakthroughs and block the horse from heading north at any time with the advantage of firearms.

Since the Song army had a powerful naval army, the vast oceans were no longer an insurmountable natural barrier. Since the Jin navy lost all losses in the Battle of Liaodong Bay, it has been unable to reorganize the same size of naval forces to confront the Song navy, and only retained it.

A small fleet used to protect the inland rivers allowed the Song Dynasty navy to travel unimpeded along the coast of the Jin Dynasty. It simply regarded the Jin Dynasty's waters as its own garden, and would come and have a walk around if you had nothing to do.

Faced with the boundary line full of loopholes, Wu Shu, who advocated attack, knew that their army could not defeat the Song army in field battles and confrontation. Therefore, Wu Shu took out a large amount of funds to mobilize under extremely tight financial situations.

Tens of thousands of military and civilians built defense facilities - border moats in the southwest.

In view of the actual situation, the boundary trenches built by the Jin Dynasty are unique in design. They are different from the Qin and Han Dynasty Great Wall built on the ridges that stretch across the mountains and are dangerously guarded. Instead, they are built on relatively flat grasslands and gentle slopes at the foot of the mountain.

On the flat ground, even when you need to pass through the ridge, you will pass through a lower valley. There are four levels of defensive fortifications such as outer trenches, outer walls, inner walls, and inner trenches. Most of the building materials are earthen or mixed earth and stone. Only some locations are

Consolidate.

In the entire defense system, the boundary trenches use linear defense as the most cutting-edge defense means, while the military settlement defense system is located behind the boundary trenches project, and some are arranged evenly along the boundary trenches to form troops guarding points on the defense line.

;The other part is in a deep-developed layout in the north and south, as the manpower and material supply office for frontline operations; and the other part is a command system, located at the innermost part of the defense line, and connects the linear boundary trench defense network with the dot-shaped settlement defense network through information transmission projects

, make the military defense project of the boundary trench more complete and optimized.

The defense engineering system consists of the golden boundary trench, trench wall, horse face, female wall on the wall, etc. The boundary trench is built with soil, which is in the shape of a trench to prevent the war horse from rushing over. The trench is dug to collect the soil in the trench.

The wall is built on the inner side, and the trench is deep and the wall is at least 1 zhang high, and the height can reach more than half a zhang. Every twenty zhang on the wall is built with a horse face, which is higher than the wall body and stretched out outside the wall, so that the garrison soldiers can stand tall and stand tall.

It is conducive to archery and strengthens defense.

According to the strategic importance of the region, there are different types of defense facilities such as single trench single wall, single trench double wall, double trench double wall, double trench double wall and other types of defense facilities. The double trench double wall shape is from the inside to the outside, from the main wall, inner trench, secondary wall, and outer

The trench consists of four parts, with the smallest part of the total width of ten zhang and the maximum part of twenty zhang. The width of each trench should not be too large or too small. Too small cannot effectively prevent the horse from crossing; too large will cause the horses to fall into the trench.

It is easy to jump out of the trenches. A earthen castle is built around seven or eight miles along the boundary trenches, which can accommodate four or five hundred people, and is the place where troops are stationed.

The information transmission project on the Jinjie Trench Line is an important part of the Jinjie Trench Defense Engineering System, and is completed by beacon tunnels and paving. The function of beacon tunnel buildings is to promptly call the alarm, transmit military information by igniting fireworks, and inform the superiors of the front line in front.

The message of the beacon is in line with the beacon, which means that the beacon tower is arranged at intervals and can echo each other when there is any situation. The function of the sudden laying is to exchange military information, ensure the safety of the transportation of military materials, and to provide temporary residence for personnel or officials who deliver official documents.

, change horses, etc. The scale is similar to that of the garrison castle, and it has city defense facilities.

On the eastern coast, Wu Shu chose important places where ships could be docked to build a group of villages, and built wooden fences on the coast, digging trenches and ramming walls behind them to resist the Song army's landing. The coastal prefectures and counties set up patrol troops.

, set up a lookout post and arranged troops to guard and guard the coastal islands. In order to prevent the Song navy from going upstream along the inland river from the seakou, he also pulled up iron cables at the mouth of the river and prepared many old ships. Once the Song army was found to have signs of invasion

You can sank the boat and block the waterway.

But the blueprint is beautiful, and reality is skinny. Although Wu Shu tried his best to promote the construction of boundary trenches, he has only completed the infrastructure construction of key areas in the past few years. Many places still need to be improved, and more places only stay on the drawings.

, not implemented. Now that the Mengwu tribe is located above the border of Song and Jin, there will inevitably be friction and conflicts. Once the handling is improper, the Song people may be involved in it and a war between the two countries will break out.

Wushu used the Tatar people to destroy the Mongols, originally wanted to get rid of the confidants in the west, and then used the Tatar people to control the grassland for a long time and protect their own borders to reduce the military pressure on the Jin Dynasty by the Song Dynasty. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

. After the Mengwu tribe was crippled, his strength was greatly damaged. In his opinion, no one would help a waste who lost its value. From then on, the Tatar people could eat him up to pieces without taking action.

There will be no left, and what makes people even happier is that Zhao Er suffered a loss and could not say anything.

Wu Shu didn't expect that Zhao Er was so sensible. He ignored the past grudges and accepted the Mengwu tribe and promised to help them take revenge. This not only demonstrated the "noble character" of the Song Dynasty's revenge of kindness.

, and also made a game of dead chess and did not move, easily turned passive into initiative, and at the same time threw a gunpowder barrel that would explode to the Jin Kingdom, forcing them to adjust their strategic layout and strengthen the defense of the western region.

Power makes a hard-won victory vanish... (To be continued...)
