His name is Yu Jie, and he is a famous anti-Mongolian warrior in Southern Song Dynasty. I have read a lot of poetry books since I was a child, and my intelligence is unparalleled. Later, due to negligence, he was sheltered by Zhao Kui. Seeing that Yujie was ambitious and unusual, Zhao Kui especially appreciated him. Soon after Yu Jie joined, it made great contributions, by going up one flight of stairs, but these small interests are insignificant to Yu Jie. BC 1236, faced with the pressure of Mongolian fighters, Yu Jie resolutely joined the army. With his unique martial arts and excellent military talent, Yu Jie rose from the initial commando to the Ministry of War and was stationed in Sichuan and Sichuan.
At that time, Shukou Lizhou Road, one of the four roads in Shuchuan, had been captured by the enemy, and the other three roads had also been taken away by the Mongolian army. The Chuanchuan battlefield in the Southern Song Dynasty became the most dangerous area in all battlefields. Once the other three roads are captured, Mongolian fighters will raise their flags and surrender, and the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty will be even more dangerous. Therefore, Sichuan-Sichuan defense has become the top priority in all wars. And Yu Jie's unique combat power and outstanding achievements make him the best candidate for Sichuan and Sichuan military affairs.
In fact, in the first stage of the Song-Mongolian War, the Sichuan Army and its commander-in-chief had already moved from Zhao. In just a few years, Sichuan and Sichuan have changed seven or eight military commanders, which eventually led to the intensification of the Sichuan-Sichuan crisis. In addition to natural factors such as remote geographical location and inconvenient transportation, the quality of officials in the Southern Song Dynasty is a major hidden danger. As we all know, most officials in the Southern Song Dynasty were greedy for pleasure and timid, while the road to Shuhan was long and Xiu Yuan was steep, and the terrain was closed. North Korea appointed countless dignitaries to change the military affairs of Sichuan and Sichuan. After these people came to power, most of them were corrupt, addicted to wine and debauchery, and ignored the war, which led to the displacement and misery of the people. To fundamentally change the decline of Sichuan and Sichuan, we need people with both ability and political integrity to carry out comprehensive reform and start from scratch.
After Yu Jie took office, he observed people's feelings, reformed government affairs, strictly observed military discipline, distinguished rewards and punishments, eliminated violence and recruited talents, which greatly improved the combat capability and overall strength of the army. Ignoring people's livelihood, encouraging farming and harvesting, and gathering small villages in large villages have greatly improved people's lives, won the unanimous support of the local military and civilians, and gradually changed the situation of poverty and weakness. But at that time, the biggest danger faced by Sichuan and Sichuan was Mongolia's constant invasion and plunder. Just when Yu Jie didn't know what to do, a man appeared. He is Wen Yang, a local official in Bozhou.
According to historical records, the Yang family passed down from generation to generation, and his father Yang Jia was the 14th mediator in Bozhou. When the Mongols attacked Shukou in Duanping period, Yang Jia led 5,000 cavalry to rescue Zhao Yan Na from the Sichuan-Sichuan system in the original area of Qingye, and later repelled the Mongols many times, which was appreciated by Meng Gong, commander-in-chief of the Junhu system. After Yang Jia's death, Yang Wenzi attacked his father and became the new ambassador of Bozhou. Wen Yang believes that Sichuan and Sichuan have been repeatedly captured because the first main line of defense, Qinba Mountain, has been lost, and the second line of defense is in an isolated state, and it is impossible to form a sustained and effective prevention and control system. Therefore, Wen Yang put forward three suggestions to Qi Jun from three main lines: determining the location of Sichuan-Tibet defense center, restoring the continuous defense front and building an effective strategic defense system, which are divided into three strategies: up, middle and down.
The best policy is to move the manufacturing department of Sichuan Military Affairs Center to Lizhou and Langzhong, and on this basis, start the whole army northward, first seize Lizhou Road cities such as Lizhou and Xingyuan by armed forces, and then quickly win the "three customs". In the Southern Song Dynasty, the first line of defense was heavily guarded in Qinba Mountain area, and then the second line of defense was slowly restored, forming an effective defense system. If this strategy is feasible, then all the troops in the Southern Song Dynasty will gather in the "Three Passes" to keep the enemy out of the country, thus making other roads threatened by war.
In order to keep the government office unchanged, Zhongce chose a place with steep terrain and built a mountain city water village along the main road of Sichuan, and used it as a stronghold to resist the Mongolian army. At the same time, the remaining soldiers in the general and the nearby soldiers and civilians were sent to various mountain villages for defense, forming a fan-shaped defense system with longitudinal progression and deep advancement. The strongholds helped each other and formed a joint force, which made the Mongolian army invading Sichuan lose the advantage of free activities, thus maintaining the stability of the whole Sichuan-Sichuan war situation and protecting the rear from the enemy.
The next strategy is similar to that of China. The headquarters of the Sichuan-Guizhou system remained unchanged, and all the soldiers and civilians in the north-central Sichuan-Guizhou moved to the south of the Yangtze River, where a mountain city water village was built to cultivate the water army, and the major strongholds along the Yangtze River were United with mobile forces to form a solid Yangtze River defense line. No man's land was set up in the north of the Yangtze River, and the wall was cleared, so that the Mongolian army could profit from it, thus forming an isolated red heart between Song and Mongolia. Unless the situation in Mongolia changes, this deadlock will continue.
These three strategies are the best, but it is very risky to concentrate the strength of the whole army on the front line, and it is difficult to achieve the present situation by focusing on counterattack. The advantage of the bottom plan is that it can effectively concentrate all forces and human resources, limit the Sichuan-Sichuan area to the south of the Yangtze River, and expose the northern counties to the enemy fighters. Of course, the court will not admit it. In contrast, Zhongce is not the best policy, but it is close to reality and easy to be recognized by the court. Yu Jie thought twice and decided to adopt Yang Zhongce. Establish Sichuan-Sichuan mountain city system.
Although there was a general idea, the specific implementation plan had to be carefully considered, so Yu Jie recruited wise men and made suggestions. Finally, it was decided to take the general plan that the Ran brothers rode on the mountain to control the surface. Later, Yu Jie was built according to the mountain city, and at the same time promoted the experience of moving to the mountain city, that is, moving the government and military and civilians in the plain area to the mountain city, which ensured the effective operation of the military and political institutions in Sichuan. While building a mountain city, Yu Jie also took the deployment of troops as the top priority, selected heavy troops to guard against risks, assembled surplus troops to guard positions, and gradually formed a trapezoidal defense system centered on Chongqing. Later, Mongolia sent troops to attack Sichuan and Sichuan from the fourth route, and Yu Jie used this defense system built on the mountain to repel the Mongolian army.
Temujin unified the backwardness of most parts of Mongolia, and Mongolian fighters began to enter the Central Plains. From A.D. 1227 to B.C. 1234, Mongolia destroyed Xixia and Daikin successively, and then began to invade the north. It was ambitious all the way and captured most areas from the Southern Song Dynasty to the north, only to be caught off guard by Yu Jie's solid mountain city defense system.
In BC 1252, the wise Meng made an amazing decision, that is, he temporarily gave up attacking the Southern Song Dynasty and ordered Kublai Khan to lead a hundred thousand troops to explore Dali. Dali is located thousands of miles away in Mongolia, where there are many snow-capped mountains and grasslands. Kublai Khan made full preparations for this. First, the headquarters will be stationed near Liupanshan, and the required ammunition will be prepared before the troops of other tribes are assembled. As the saying goes, "the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first." This is a fact. Hundreds of fighters assembled, and Kublai Khan decided to go to Tibet and take Dali directly. The Tubo princes at that time were divided into different regimes. After Kublai Khan arrived, he led and captured many cities. Originally arrogant Tubo nobles had to lower their noble heads and bow to the powerful Mongolian army. In this way, the Tubo region was incorporated into the rule of Mongolia.
In BC 1253, the Mongolian army finally arrived in Dali after several months. At that time, Kublai Khan sent three messengers to the city to persuade him to surrender. But the arrogant Gao brothers thought that these northern barbarians were empty and fearless, so they ignored the opposition of the king and ministers and killed all three messengers. When Kublai Khan saw that the emissary had been gone for a long time, he expected that something would have happened, so he led troops to besiege Dali. A few days later, Dali City was breached, and Duan Xingzhi, the king of Dali, abandoned the city and fled, and Gao was killed. In Dali's palace, Kublai Khan saw the bloody bodies of three messengers. In a rage, he ordered his men to slaughter the whole city. Fortunately, Yao Shu and several counselors came to surrender after learning about it, and saved the innocent people in Dali from being slaughtered.
/kloc-in the spring of 254, Kublai Khan led his troops back to Mongolia, leaving his beloved general Uriyangqatai and some troops to rule Dali before he left. But Dali, after all, is different from Mongolia, and its governance depends on local leaders. So Uriyangqatai led the troops to capture Kunming, successfully captured the king Duan Xingzhi, and asked him to help manage Dali. From the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dali lasted for more than 300 years, and finally disappeared under Mongolian fighters.
Kublai Khan's expedition was successful, but it also paid a painful price. One hundred thousand troops left Mantuo, crossed the Dalu River, crossed the no-man's land, crossed the heavy snow-capped mountains, crossed the harmful swamp, flew over the Jinsha River, and finally came to Yunnan. In Yunnan, the soldiers had to fight with various indigenous people and military bandits every day, which led to the original 100 thousand Mongolian iron.
This marathon expedition is of great significance to Kublai Khan. This trip not only completed the strategic plan to bypass the Southern Song Dynasty, but also expanded the territory of Mongolia. At the same time, Kublai Khan established a high prestige in the military, which laid a solid foundation for his successful capture of the great Khan position in the future. More importantly, Kublai Khan sent troops south to make an expedition to Dali, which ended the separatist regime in Dali and made great contributions to the development of a unified multi-ethnic.
It has a long history and is endless. Whether Mongolia's 65,438+10,000-strong army crossed the snow-capped mountains, crossed the grasslands and captured Dali for 7,000 miles, or Yu Jie, a general in the Southern Song Dynasty, pushed aside the crowd to build a mountain city system, it will be a rich and colorful stroke in history. Let's swim in this magnificent mountains and rivers together and talk about the future.
