Behind the scenes of the battle of Fishing City

In the process of unifying China by the Golden Family, the battle of Fishing Town in Hechuan District of China is a very important battle. This war, which lasted for more than 10 years, not only killed Zong Mengge of Yuan Xian, but also greatly delayed the progress and pace of the death of the Jin family in the Southern Song Dynasty, leaving a far-reaching impact on future generations in military science, equipment science and even humanities. Details will be introduced later. Here, it is necessary for us to briefly review the historical background of this battle and the goals and visions of the Golden Family in different historical periods. As we know, from the orthodox point of view, the great empire established by the Golden Family should be divided into three stages: the first stage is the Mongol khanate era, that is, Temujin unified the Mongolian ministries from 1206, and then got rid of the control of the Central Plains Dynasty to establish the Great Mongolia until Kublai Khan established the feudal dynasty of China-the Yuan Dynasty in 1260. Although the golden family at this stage had the ideal of unifying China, they also had the ambition of conquering the world westward. The second stage is the dual era of Yuan Dynasty and Mongolian Empire, that is, from the establishment of Kublai Khan in 1260 to Timur's departure from Beijing in 1368. At this stage, the orthodox lineage of the golden family has been introduced into Temujin. His goal is to unswervingly unify China and establish a multi-ethnic feudal country in East and Central Asia. Qin Chahan, Chahetai Khan and other members of the Yijin family established Erhan, which was basically independent. The third stage was the Northern Yuan Dynasty, that is, Hui Zong 1368 lost to Li Dan Khan 1634 in Mobei, and the Jin Empire was completely destroyed under the attack of Han Ming and Manchu. At this stage, several vassal States in Central Asia, West Asia and Europe have fallen apart. At any stage, the position of the golden family as a local national force in the history of China and the feudal dynasty of China is unquestionable. Of course, for the convenience of expression, this book is generally called Mongolian Empire. Throughout the history of the gold family, it is not difficult to see several stage characteristics. In Temujin's time, although he showed great ambition since he was a child, in the grassland struggle, he unified various nomadic tribes in various ways, such as uniting with Lian Heng, so as to speak with one voice in the dialogue with the powerful suzerain-ruler. After the annexation and conquest of grasslands and some countries and nationalities in the western regions, the affluence of the Han Dynasty and the fact that the Central Plains defeated several feudal dynasties for hundreds of years made Temujin's golden family initially have the idea of unifying China. So he ordered the army to March westward for the first time, conquered some nationalities and countries in Central Asia and Europe, wiped out the rich Xixia Dynasty through six wars, and attacked the rulers militarily. But the goal of conquest is still scattered, so the main force and energy of the army are scattered. From Taizong Wokuotai to Gui You, the gold family kept two goals. While continuing to attack the targets in Central Asia and Europe through the second Western Expedition, it accelerated its attack on the Central Plains, destroyed the gold in 1234, and then began to attack the Southern Song Dynasty. During this period, although the descendants of Mongols conquered Europe and northern Central Asia at the same time, their main strength and energy obviously tended to the Han nationality. Judging from the conquest of the golden family, the dream pigeon is an important turning point. As mentioned earlier, Mungo's father Tuo Lei and his mother Soluhudini are not only very smart, but also have high foresight and cultural level in the second generation of the Golden Family. On the one hand, they fought for the status of Khan for the Mongols, on the other hand, because they were Mongols, they deeply realized the great sense of honor and mission of re-establishing a unified multi-ethnic country in China in their contacts with the Han nationality, so they gave Khan to the Mongols and Kublai Khan at an early age.

In this way, for the first time, the gold family clearly set its goal in the East, and firmly established its own family to rule the Central Plains for a long time. Although Mongo once ordered Xu Liewu to lead the army to carry out the third Western Expedition in the family history, it has greatly diluted the color of conquest, and has the element of Ma Yin faction to avenge his assassination by Islam. Therefore, although the war between Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty began in Wokuotai, it has been 17 years since the battle of Mengge Fishing City, and it has experienced famous battles such as Mianzhou, Jianghuai, Sichuan and Yangpingguan. If you count Kublai Khan's bloody battle in Xiangfan, Ezhou, it seems that the battle of Fishing City has no prominent position from the perspective of tactics. The course of the war is as follows: 125 1 After Mongo ascended the throne in, 1256, Huli Le Tai Conference was held, and the strategic goal of conquering the Southern Song Dynasty and unifying China was agreed. The attack on Song was divided into three ways, namely marked army, led by Mongo himself; The East Route Army led by the host kings Tahar; The South Route Army was commanded by Uriyangqatai, the son of Sudoku. At first, Kublai Khan was not sent to unify the army. Later, Kublai Khan replaced Taghachar. The strategic assumption is that the Third Route Army will meet in Ezhou and attack Lin 'an in two ways. With the help of Yeluzhu, the son of Yeluchu Cai, and the rebellious Han army strongmen, Mongolia attacked the city and occupied more than ten counties in the early days of its entry into Sichuan, which shocked the Southern Song Dynasty. When Meng Ge sent troops, there were 40,000 American troops, and the main force was of course Mongols. However, influenced by his parents' United front strategy and years of Chinese Confucianism, he has partially changed the traditional blind ancestor killing and recruited Han warlords to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty. He fought against the Han Chinese strongmen in Sichuan and conquered Hebei, Shandong and other places from the Ministry, such as Stone. In addition, after entering Sichuan, according to Yeluzhu's suggestion, Mongo not only greatly reduced the conquest cost before each attack, but also controlled it quickly and effectively. 1At the end of 258, the US troops stationed in Mongolia went south along the Jialing River, and Chongqing was just around the corner. But never imagined that Hezhou, the gateway to Chongqing's north, encountered unexpected resistance. Hezhou Prefecture is located in a relatively flat area, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. At that time, under the leadership of General Wang Jian, the defenders quickly moved the soldiers and civilians to the fishing city near the state capital. This place is located on the east bank of Jialing River, surrounded by rivers on three sides, and the situation is extremely dangerous. It has been a military fortress since ancient times and a natural defense barrier in Chongqing. As early as 1240, in order to resist the invasion of the north, General Peng Daya was sent to build a defense system here in the Southern Song Dynasty. Later, after many years. Wang Jian, the ever-victorious defender, was not valued by Mongols at all. He was also a brave warrior in the Southern Song Dynasty. In his early years, under the famous anti-Mongolian warrior Meng, he was famous for attacking Mongols at night in Dengzhou and setting fire to their trenches. Later, he was transferred to Sichuan, and together with General Cao Shixiong and others, he repeatedly beat back the plundered Mongolian army. Before Mongo arrived, Wang Jian carefully prepared for the war. He not only hoarded a lot of grain and grass in fishing towns, but also organized people to carry out military training, bringing the total number of troops and militia to more than 654.38 million, and allocated some new military equipment from other places for city defense. In December, according to the old routine, Mongolia sent the Southern Song Dynasty general Jin to surrender to Wang Jian. So, Wang Jian took him to the tinker in the fishing city and beheaded him in public, showing his determination to be at odds with Mongo. In June 5438 +259 10, Meng Ge personally led an army to attack the fishing city that had been entrenched for a long time. On February 5, the Mongols couldn't wait.

Wang Dechen's death undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of this protracted war. At this time, due to the hot weather, Mongolian soldiers born in Mobei could not adapt to the much higher temperature and humid climate than their hometown. In addition, Mongolians like to eat meat, mostly semi-cooked food, so viral dysentery spreads rapidly and non-combatants increase greatly. Worried Mongo had to personally supervise the war, hoping to arouse morale and win the fishing city as soon as possible. In late July, when Mongo boarded the watchtower in the city to learn about the situation, he was discovered by General Wang Jian. He immediately turned the trebuchet and aimed at Mungo's tower. The tower was smashed and collapsed, and Mungo was thrown dozens of meters away and seriously injured. He soon died in the army. Like many mysteries in the history of the golden family, historians and folklore have different opinions on the cause of Mungo's death. The battle of fishing town was a famous siege battle in the Mongolian-Song War. Not only did it break the myth that Mongols were invincible, but it also killed Xianzong, which greatly encouraged the soldiers and civilians around the Southern Song Dynasty to resist foreign aggression. Due to the death of Mongo, the Khan War between Kublai Khan and Ali Bug came early, which delayed the Mongols' conquest of the Southern Song Dynasty and the people of South China, Central South China and South China. Mongols are important transitional leaders in the history of Mongolian and Yuan Empire. Although the struggle for Khan's power was supported by Shu Chi, the opposition of Wokuotai and Chahetai not only added many variables to him, but also posed a threat to the future operation of imperial power. Therefore, as soon as Mongo came to power, he explicitly granted croton the actual control area and established the khanate independently with Khan's strength, marking the period when Temujin's unified property was actually carved up. On the other hand, he killed some children of Wokuotai, Chahetai and noble ministers who opposed his accession to the throne. The transitional feature of Mungo is that he himself is not a very traditional and conservative nomadic leader like his grandfather Temujin and his parents, nor is he the same as his predecessor, Gui You, who has always fascinated the West, or even his younger brother, Kublai Khan, who was called Kublai Khan with China characteristics. His body is full of conflicts of thoughts. As can be seen from his behavior, for example, in order to preserve and give consideration to the tradition of the first two expeditions of the Mongols, Bi Ru sent his younger brother Xu Liewu to lead the third expedition to the west, but the scale and strength were greatly reduced, because his main conquest goal was to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty and all Han Chinese land; For another example, Meng Ge used many more Han cadres than his predecessor, which also gave him high trust. He also specially sorted out the Han land conquered by his younger brother Kublai Khan, who was deeply influenced by China culture, and began to adopt China's centralized feudal political system. Mungo inherited the United front strategy of his father Tuo Lei and his mother Solo Chutney, and made full political, military, organizational and cultural preparations for his younger brother to inherit the throne in the future, although it is not clear from historical records that Mungo wanted to hand over Khan's position to Kublai Khan. The battle of fishing town directly led to Mongo#. From a historical point of view, this is of special significance, because it must be pointed out that although the Mongols have the prototype of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they still stubbornly think about burning, killing and looting. Imagine, if there were no battle between fishing town and Mongo, if he died, the rich, civilized and prosperous southern China would become a hell on earth like Central Asia and northern China. The battle of Fishing City also affected the whole battle situation and layout of the gold family. In this battle, Xu Liewu, the brother of the Mongols who were sent to the west for the second time, was leading the Mongols and today's friendly forces of Armenia and Georgia to fight fiercely with Egypt in southern Syria. Xu Liewu heard that Mengge Xiahou _ was dead, and quickly led the main force to retreat eastward. Every time Khan dies, the gold family members who are soldiers have to go back. First, they must hold a funeral for Khan. Secondly, they must prepare for a meeting in Holilai Thailand to compete for Khan's position.

On his way home, Xu Liewu learned that Kublai Khan proclaimed himself emperor and stopped withdrawing troops, but Xu Liewu had no intention of returning to Syria to continue the war of conquest. Because he supported Kublai Khan, he didn't feel at ease until he saw the latter beat Ali Buge. After this ordeal, people in the Middle East, West Asia and North Africa were spared a torment. Since then, Xu Liewu was allowed to establish an independent vassal khanate for supporting Kublai Khan, and he ascended the throne smoothly. In this way, the happy Xu Liewu also changed the burning, killing and looting during the Western Expedition and began the process of normal state rule. Of course, history cannot be assumed. It was a stone thrown by a trebuchet in a small fishing town that caused Mungo's accidental death. His successor Kublai Khan disapproved of the Mongols' burning, killing and looting. The profound lesson of the battle of Fishing City made Kublai Khan further see the terrible national resistance spirit hidden behind the corrupt Southern Song Dynasty court. Therefore, in the war to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty and unify China, he completely overcame the bad nature of nomadic people and finally made great achievements.
