The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

The Beijing city in Zhao Qiong's previous life had been demolished long ago. He had never seen it before, and the outer city was gone, but the style of the past can be seen from the only few city gates and the legendary Forbidden City. But he also knew that

By the Jin and Yuan dynasties, Beijing became the capital of the two dynasties, and later it was also called the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties. After renovations over the years, it was much stronger and much larger than it is now. At least the city walls are no longer just rammed earth.

Instead, the city bricks were wrapped to make the city walls stronger, and the "horse face" and the urn were repaired.

But even such a strong city of Beijing was conquered by the Mongols, Khitans, Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Zicheng of the Ming Dynasty. Especially in the late Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Nation Alliance had only a few thousand people, and they captured Beijing with their strong ships and cannons.

Later generations left indelible pain and humiliation.

It is true that the gains and losses of Beijing often occur when the regime rises and falls, especially the rise of the Khitan, Jurchen and Mongolia in the north. When they attacked Beijing, they used new troops to attack the regime that was about to settle down. It is inevitable to win.

The Jin attacked Liao Nanjing, the Mongolian attacked Jin Zhongdu, and the Jurchens entered Beijing. This is a good example. But now history is a joke with Zhao Qi. At this moment, the Song Dynasty had just taken off its conquered hat, but was going to go from the sky.

The Great Jin Kingdom seized food from the hands of the tiger.

Although Zhao Qi is not a war maniac, not everyone can beat him. Jing Kang's shame was a thorn in his heart in his previous life. Now he controls the entire country and is gradually getting on track. Now his army is in equipment.

It is not as good as the modern "foreign guns and cannons" of foreign devils, but it is always better than the bows and arrows of the Mongolian Tartars and the muskets and cannons of the late Ming Dynasty, and has received modern military training. If he doesn't believe it, he can't pull out this thorn!

But it is not so easy to win this war. As both countries will mobilize the whole country's strength once the war begins, and a large-scale war is caused by the large-scale war. The forces of both sides invested, the intensity of the battle is deep and the duration of the battle.

Due to great damage, Zhao Qiong had to consider the cost of war.

The Battle of Youzhou between the Later Tang and the Khitan. The Khitan army was known to be 300,000, and the Later Tang had 70,000 reinforcements, lasting for more than 200 days. During the Battle of Gaolianghe, the Song army invested 100,000 troops; the Song and Jin dynasties jointly attacked Yan.

The army dispatched 150,000 troops; the second and third battles of Zhongdu, the Mongolian army besieged the city for six months and eleven months respectively; the Ming army expeditioned the northern expedition of 250,000, even the Liberation War

The People's Liberation Army also used the power of two field troops to complete the battle deployment. If it weren't for the Fu Zuoyi's uprising, I wouldn't know how long it would take to fight.

With the current strength of the Song Dynasty, it can support a war. However, it cannot be fought into a protracted war of attrition or a siege, because even if Yanjing is captured, the destroyed city will require a large amount of reconstruction funds, millions of dollars.

The population needs to eat and housing. The gains and losses of Yanjing last time must be said to be related to the subsequent lack of reconstruction funds. Therefore, a blitzkrieg must be fought and the battle will be resolved quickly. Maintain the Yanjing area as much as possible.

The original appearance of the economy is to reduce the damage to the economy, otherwise a war will drag down the economy that the Song Dynasty had just recovered again.

Zhao Qi racked his brains to this end, not only did he look up all the war examples that occurred in Yanjing in all dynasties, but also sorted out all the relevant war examples in his memories of his previous life for reference.

From the perspective of combat locations, due to the terrain of Yanjing, there are few wars under the city of Beijing and many wars around it. During this period, there were not many wars directly attacking the city. Only the Battle of Zhongdu and Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition,

Six battles including the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance. Most of the war sites were concentrated in areas around Yanjing, either in prefectures and counties and passes within their jurisdiction, or in areas around Beijing that bordered Hebei and Shanxi, such as Zhuozhou, Yizhou, and Ping

The distribution of combat locations in the Yanjing area reflects that the war in the Yanjing area is mainly based on periphery and siege battles as supplements.

In war, there is a clear difference from the direction of the attack and the result of the war: the war against Yanjing from the north can often capture the city, and the winning rate is very high; while the attack on Yanjing from the south often fails and the winning rate is

It's relatively small.

From the perspective of specific wars, the attack and occupation of Yanjing city from the north include: Liao obtained Youzhou, even if it was cedeed by Later Jin, it was also the result of continuous military attacks; the battle between the Jin army invaded Liao and Nanjing was occupied after breaking Juyong Pass;

The Jin army occupied Yanshan Prefecture and launched an attack from Pingzhou, Juyongguan, Gubeikou and other places. They forced Guo Yaoshi to surrender; the Mongolian army attacked Zhongdu three times, and all of them crossed Juyongguan, Gubeikou and other places, and their troops were at the foot of Zhongdu City.

, and eventually occupied Zhongdu.

But there are exceptions. Abaoji was not only in Liao's battle to attack Youzhou in the year, but he had not been captured for more than 200 days. In addition, the battle between the two capitals, the Shangdu army crossed Juyongguan, Gubeikou and so on several times, but they were all defeated by the Dadu army.

Defeat. In the war to attack Youyan area from the south, except for Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition, the other wars were almost defeated. In the battle of Shizhonggui's Northern Expedition in the Later Jin Dynasty, the battle of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, and the battle of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, the battle of the Song army attacked Yan twice in the late Song Dynasty.

The battles, the battles between Jin and Bei'an aided Zhongdu, etc., all ended in failure.

The reason for this situation is that the barriers in Beijing are mainly in the north. Once these passes are broken, Beijing will have no dangers to rely on; and although the south of Beijing is a vast plain, it is easier to attack than the north, but it has a possession

The Khitan, Jurchen and Mongolia in Beijing all have powerful cavalry, which is more conducive to plain combat, which is also an important reason for repeated defeats in the attack from the south.

Then it is determined by the strategic and tactical arrangements of both sides. In terms of strategic and tactical arrangements, the two sides generally adopt an internal battle strategy, with Yanjing City as the center, and have multiple defenses, trying to block the enemy from the periphery, even if the enemy breaks through the periphery,

When you enter the city, you can still stand waiting for help.

The party that captured Yanjing City mostly adopted the strategy of fighting on the outside, with its shielding, besieging the city to attack aid, and trying to eliminate the enemy from the periphery, forcing the defenders to surrender. These two different strategies and tactics make the focus of the two sides first develop the battle on the periphery on the periphery.

.The war will only turn to the city of Beijing after the victory and defeat of the periphery is decided.

During the Northern Expedition of Yongxi, Emperor Taizong of Song divided into three groups and advanced and attacked together, and adopted the external combat strategy. The Eastern Army played a role in conjunction with the Central and Western Army captured the mountain, and in fact, it captured the flanks of Liao Nanjing, and then the three armies were large.

Join forces to attack Liao Nanjing. On the other hand, the Liao Dynasty focused on defending Nanjing, concentrated in Nanjing, blocked the Song army in Zhuozhou, and sent Yelu Xizhen to lead the army to resist the Song army behind Shanhou. The Liao army defeated each of them, and made the Song army encircle the plan

The destruction avoided the battle under Youzhou City.

During the battle between the two capitals, the Shangdu army attacked Dadu from Juyongguan, Gubeikou, Liaodong and Zijingguan; Yan Tiemur divided his troops to guard the pass, delayed the enemy, and then used the main force as the mobile troops to defeat each one, and finally defeated it.

Defeat Shangdu's army.

During the Battle of Zhongdu, although the Mongolian army was at the foot of Zhongdu, it did not directly attack the city. Instead, three large armies attacked the Central Plains, causing Zhongdu to lose external support, forcing the Jin to move the capital to Kaifeng, and the Mongolian army to occupy Zhongdu; Zhu Yuanzhang attacked the north

, It also adopted the "first take Shandong, withdraw the other side of the shield, move troops from the two rivers, break the fences, pull out Tongguan and guard it, and strangle the threshold of the household. In the world, the world is invincible and the Yuandu is invincible and the Yuandu is alone in the back," and then advances,

Force Emperor Shun of Yuan to escape north.

In short, the strategic and tactical choices of both sides also constituted the war in the Yanjing area during the Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties, with peripheral combat as the main and siege combat as the auxiliary...

March was approaching in a blink of an eye. The emperor summoned Gao Chong, Zhao Yong, and Yelu Yuxi to Beijing. They held a three-day closed-door meeting with Li Gang, Zong Ze, Xu Zongheng, Zhao Ren and other prime ministers, Zhang Shuye, and others.

After that, the Minister of Revenue Chen Gou, Zhao Yi, Zhao Xiao, Cheng Xishou and other military chiefs were summoned to the palace to attend the meeting for seven days. As for what they discussed, no one knew.

Two days after the meeting, the minister of Rites Yang Shi initiated a report at the meeting, and the Jin Kingdom sent envoys again to request a resumption of peace talks with our Song Dynasty. After discussing, the ministers thought that the situation on the border between the two countries was now eased, and if negotiations were passed, they could welcome the Liao King without bloodshed.

Isn't it a good thing to be captured in the royal family? Even if the peace agreement is not reached, you can fight again. Li Gang and other ministers thought it was feasible, so the emperor chose Ma Kuo, the Minister of Rites, to go to Xiongzhou to negotiate with the Jin envoy.

At this time, the imperial court proposed that the former chief censor Qin Hui be loyal and patriotic and was captured by the Jin thieves. Now he risked his life to escape and return home. He believed that he had lived in the Jin Kingdom for several years and was familiar with the situation of the Jin Kingdom, so he could choose to send him as deputy envoy to Xiongzhou to participate in the peace talks.

, the ministers felt it was reasonable. But the emperor did not approve the report in court, but issued an edict to recall him to the capital and ask before discussing it.

Ten days later, Qin Hui and his family rushed back to the capital from Dengzhou. The emperor held a banquet to entertain Qin Hui, and the priests took charge. During the banquet, the emperor asked in detail about his situation on his journey north, and the situation after the King of Liao and others arrived in the northern country. Qin Hui.

He cried and told the situation that the King of Liao was abused by Jin soldiers on the way, and was almost tied to the north. After arriving in the north, he was humiliated and sent to the Siguo City in the extreme north to be imprisoned. After hearing this, the emperor burst into tears.

He could hardly speak, and he vowed to rescue the Liao king and return to the country no matter how much the cost was. The next day he issued an order to use Qin Hui as a Hanlin scholar and to go to Xiongzhou to negotiate with the Jurchens as the deputy envoy of the peace talks.

A few days later, another important news came out that the emperor was going to go out of the capital to inspect Jiangnan. For a moment, the court was shocked, and ministers submitted memorials to stop it, saying that the country was Shangping, but the strong enemy still looked around to see how to leave the capital, and the emperor went on a patrol.

The cost is huge, and the local area is very disturbing, and the place is not bad, but it is unwilling to let the emperor leave.

However, the emperor insisted on leaving the capital, and the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager could not persuade him, so he could only follow him and start preparing for the trip. The emperor's tour was a big deal, and the affairs were cumbersome. Although the emperor asked to keep everything simple, it was not until five.
