Open the original book you will find AD 1328 was no different than usual The powerful are still fighting Natural disasters continue People are still struggling big round state machine It has been running bumpyly for decades. It seems like it will continue to operate like this in the future. But no matter how strong the camel is There will be a day when I will be crushed by straw. in this year God threw two straws at the Yuan Dynasty One fell on the capital that attracted much attention One fell into the countryside where no one cares about it After the deaths of Kublai Khan and Yuan Chengzong The Yuan Dynasty entered the middle period Many people have remembered this period of history Because it's too messy hard to figure out But generally speaking, there are still two main lines of conflict. One is the debate between Chineseization and anti-Chineseization One is the throne Which son of the real golden prince should belong to him? Descendants in short In just 26 years There were a total of 9 emperors in the Yuan Dynasty Many of them died in mysterious circumstances. Among them, two of the three bloodlines of the real golden prince died. The sinicization process of the Yuan Dynasty was also violently interrupted. As the saying goes, garbled characters are still used The ruling class has been experiencing intense internal strife for many years. Finally in 1328 Detonated a revolution in the history of the Yuan Dynasty Civil unrest on an unprecedented scale Battle of two capitals The so-called two cities refer to Dadu and Xanadu Most of them are in what is now Beijing It was the capital of the Yuan Dynasty Used to control the Central Plains region Xanadu is located in the northwest of Duolun County, Inner Mongolia It was called Kaiping Mansion at that time It was also the capital of the Yuan Dynasty used to control grassland areas The Yanshan Mountains lie between the two Xanadu has a complete administrative system and a large number of troops Of great significance to the Yuan Dynasty 6 of the 11 emperors ascended the throne in Xanadu Given the importance of Xanadu The Yuan Dynasty implemented the dual-capital system The emperor will stay in Shangdu for half a year after spring. After autumn, I will return to Dadu and stay for half a year. The linear system of the two capitals was implemented from the founding of Kublai Khan Until the fifteenth year of Zhizheng Xanadu stopped after being burned down by the Red Scarf Army in the middle. Lasted for more than 90 years After Wu Zong's death The throne was transferred to Renzong's lineage The Nanpo Revolution broke out in 1323 Yuanyin Sect, the founder of Sinicization Murdered by anti-Chinese forces within the Meng Yuan Group The road to Sinicization in the Yuan Dynasty was interrupted. rebels He elected the King of Jin who didn’t know a single Chinese character. Wild Sun Timur succeeded to the throne Historically known as Emperor Taiding The throne finally came to the lineage of the eldest son of Prince Zhenjin. Emperor Taiding's role in this incident Not so glorious Although he dealt with all the murderers of Yuan Yingzong But many people think he knew in advance He even participated in the Nanpo Incident as a regicide suspect His legitimacy as emperor was often questioned This laid the groundwork for the outbreak of the war between the two capitals. After Emperor Taiding succeeded to the throne China uses Hui Hui people to take power Massive crowding out at the same time Officials and generals who originally belonged to the Five Sects These people are extremely dissatisfied Want to take the opportunity to take back the throne Their representative of the Five Sects is Yan Tiemu'er Yantie Fungus is a tea drinker Why can a tea man be elected as a representative? This also has a history The Kipchaks were the Mongol people during the Western Expedition Blue-eyed slaves brought back from Eastern Europe They were organized into armies by the Mongols Coordinated operations But the status is relatively low has been in a state of attacking the Mongols. They really came into being after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty Kublai Khan relied on the Han people to make his fortune in the early days In 1261, he led the Han army When I went to Mobei Alibuge Li Tan, the servant of the Han army in Shandong Take the opportunity to unite with the Southern Song Dynasty Kublai Khan was given a ban on killing Mongolian soldiers in Shandong. Although this time there was no success in the world But the Mongols suffered huge losses and There were many Han confidants who were deeply trusted by Kublai Khan. involved Kublai Khan had a psychological shadow afterwards. From then on, he began to dismember the power of the Han army's ministers Deliberately letting the Han army die as cannon fodder during the war Exclude them from the core circle of the army Later it broke out in Mobei During the civil strife that lasted for more than 30 years, Kublai Khan no longer reused the Han army But here comes the problem His Mongolian elite The effect of quelling civil unrest in the grassland is very poor Kublai Khan sent them into battle When attacking the Mongol rebels Not only did these people not fight Instead, he greeted me warmly Even hugging each other, chatting, drinking and wrestling Exchange job-hopping and blind date information with each other The scene is like a party Kublai Khan, who was sitting on an elephant and supervising the battle, I looked at it for a while and was stunned. These Mongolian troops and rebels under my command They're all old acquaintances Extremely improper work attitude Silence while the rebels fight is awesome But he has a history of betraying me What should I do if I don’t dare to use it? Kublai Khan looked left and right Suddenly found that in his camp There is also a group of Kipchaks who are responsible for doing odd jobs. So a dead horse becomes a living horse doctor The Kipchaks and Mongols don’t know each other No human restraints Naturally there will be no mercy all at once The Mongolian rebels who were busy chatting nonsense Kill without leaving a single piece of armor behind An Eastern European army under the orders of the Mongol Khan Kill the Mongolian army to pieces Wu Bilie was overjoyed when he saw this From then on, the Kipchaks established a firm foothold in the military circles of the Yuan Dynasty Later they followed Yuan Wuzong He made great achievements in suppressing the grassland rebellion. He also became a strong supporter of the Wuzong lineage. On the eve of the battle between the two capitals These Qingcha generals have already taken control of most of the military power in the capital. They have served under Wu Zong for many years Obedient to the throne from Wuzong Yi Pangtuo is very dissatisfied with the current situation Therefore, Yantiemu'er was recommended as the for leaders Using the excuse that Emperor Taiding was incorrectly appointed to the throne Plot to support Wu Zong's son to regain the throne July 10, 1328 Emperor Taiding provokes Died of illness in the city His confidant turned back and fell into disgrace Controlled the situation in Xanadu And Yan Timur Then quickly keep Emperor Taiding in the capital. eradicate them all At the same time, we welcome Wuzong’s descendants to the throne. Wu Zong had two sons The eldest son He Shila had already fled to Chacha Hotai Khanate distance is too far therefore Yan Tiemu'er chose the youngest son who guarded Jianglin. Tiemu fungus This is Yuan Wenzong After Yuan Wenzong ascended the throne in Dadu, Yantemur immediately sent troops Block all Great Wall passes near Dadu After Yan Timur launched an attack Dao Lasha is not to be outdone Killed the men Yan Timur had placed in Xanadu At the same time, he supported Emperor Taiding's son, Emperor Tianshun, to the throne. In this way, there will be two emperors at the same time. The imperial court of Yuan Wenzong and the Shangdu court of Emperor Tianshun Across the Yanshan Mountains Confront each other The largest civil war in the history of the Yuan Dynasty officially broke out Xanadu and Dadu fall out Other provinces have also begun to join the team Liaodong, Shaanxi, Sichuan and Yunnan responded one after another Xanadu's troops are divided into seven groups Launched an all-out attack on the imperial court in Dadu Among the seven armies of the Xanadu court There are four roads all to the north Mainly around Shanhaiguan Gubeikou Juyongguan The four passes of Bauhinia Pass There is only one tactic for these four armies: separate advance and attack together. Capture Dadu And Yan Timur's response strategy is also very simple Come any way you want I only go all the way He gathered all the elites Beat more and less every time Due to the quality and quantity of the governor's army are obviously higher than most imperial courts To boost morale Emperor Wenzong of the Yuan Dynasty ordered Guan Yu to be named the God of War. The morale of the governor's army was greatly boosted Show great power in the subsequent battles Defeat the Governor many times in field battles August 25 The governor's troops stationed in Yanqing and Luanping Threaten Juyongguan and Gubeikou On that day, the Governor's army took the initiative to attack Defeat the governor outside Juyong Pass five days later Yan Timur personally led the army to attack Yongguan Defeat the Overlord And pursued all the way to Huai Lai On September 9, the Liaodong Army invaded Shanhaiguan. Most of the next month The Liaodong army has been attacking everywhere in the pass. As the Liaodong Army invaded Shanhaiguan, Serious threat to most Yan Timur himself was forced to lead a large number of elite Stationed in Sanhe deal with it The Shangdu Army took the opportunity to attack Juyong Pass on September 16th. and broke in Yan Timur personally led the army to rescue Defeat the Overlord And pursued to Hongqiao, southwest of Changping The governor reunited the army Battle for Hongqiao Yan Tiemu'er raised his sword and rode on horseback, injuring the enemy general's left arm. Defeat the enemy Occupied Hongqiao The two sides confronted each other Greet each other with sword language two days later In Linhuai Town, Fengyang County, 1,000 kilometers away A heart-wrenching baby is born On September 22, a field battle broke out between the two armies in Changping. Yan Timur went into battle in person 7 people guarding the edge Neither side wins or loses That night he sent 100 cavalry to raid the camp at night Leading to the bombing of the camp by the governor's army cannibalism Countless casualties The next day, the military governor retreated in embarrassment. Yan Timur led his army to pursue Defeat the enemy in the north of Changping Behead thousands of levels More than ten thousand prisoners three days later The superior governor took advantage of Yan Timur's presence on the critical front line Take advantage of the opportunity to attack Gubeikou Then attack Tongzhou Yan Timur walked back along the Yanshan path Assault on the Overlord Drive the superior governor out of Gubeikou Yan Timur just drove the Shangdu Army out of Gubeikou The Liaodong Army approaches Tongzhou again at the same time Shangdu's army detoured from Shanxi to attack Zijingguan Pass Yan Timur had no choice but to divide 4,000 troops to support Zijing Pass. He led his army to Tongtong Zhou defeated the Liaodong Army Liaodong army corpses litter the fields Forced to withdraw from Shanhaiguan But in the direction of Zijingguan The warlord's offensive is fierce Defeated the Grand Warlord The spy soldiers of the Grand Governor pushed to Baoding at this time Something happened in Baoding Selling an official here The governor's door is open About to be captured by the Governor's Army critical moment Yan Timur arrived with his army Defeated the Governor at Marco Polo Bridge Yan Temul just defeated the Shangdu Army at Marco Polo Bridge The Liaodong Army who was defeated by him and withdrew from Shanhaiguan Re-entered Gubeikou The fire captain quickly came to Miyun again defeat them The Liaodong Army was forced to withdraw The governor's army was defeated many times by Yan Timur Low morale The Huihui people group represented by Dao Lhasa When Emperor Tai Ding was in power, he threw his arms around and made money. Now I am reluctant to use real money to boost morale. Instead, he showed his true qualities as a lustful businessman. Crazy money printing to finance the military then The fertile dry land is in the hands of the metropolitan government Boyan, Pingzhang, Henan Province Working hard to collect tax revenue and put these reserve supplies Continuously sent to the northern front line The areas controlled by the Shangdu regime Most are economically backward sparsely populated After a period of fighting Their economy is on the verge of collapse In addition, repeated defeats in frontal battlefields So people's hearts trembled After the lobbying of Yan Timur's side, The King of Qi in Liaodong sent troops to attack Xanadu The next day, he pulled the meat blanket out of the wall and was executed. Emperor Tianshun, who was only 9 years old, disappeared in the rebellion. The Xanadu regime collapsed Although Xanadu and Liaodong have surrendered But Shaanxi, Sichuan and Yunnan are very stubborn Not timid at all I just want to fight Dadu to the end. Especially the Shaanxi soldiers The offensive is very fierce On September 10, Shaanxi soldiers crossed the Yellow River Invasion of Yongji County Then they went on a large-scale expedition to the southwestern part of Shanxi Province The troops also occupied Linfen and Changzhi October 19 The second wave of Shaanxi soldiers captured Tongguan again Enter Luoyang and continues to approach Kaifeng October 21 The third route Shaanxi soldiers broke through five passes and entered Dengzhou Eight days later, Xiangyang was captured again. At this point, the three-way Guanzhong army with great military virtues They invaded the hinterlands of Shanxi, Henan and Huguang respectively. and massacred and plundered Yuan Wenzong, who had freed up his hands in the north, expressed that he could not bear it. He mobilized his army to go south to encircle and suppress And conquered Huguang and Henan 50,000 soldiers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang came to help Shaanxi soldiers see that the situation is not good Disband on the spot and run away after this Sichuan and Yunnan Rebellions against the imperial court also broke out one after another. Even the Yang family in Bozhou participated. But it didn't work Battle of two capitals ended with a comprehensive victory for most of the parties A large number of Mongolian nobles were executed and exiled The Hui Hui people were completely wiped out. The battle between the two capitals is over But there are still 3 things I have to mention In the second year after the end of the Battle of Liangdu Zhang Yanghao, the former Minister of Science and Technology, was ordered to come to Shaanxi Dadu, which had just successfully seized power, The dignitaries celebrated their victory Intensified construction work Recruiting beautiful women to invest in civil war Yan Tiemu'er He even got Emperor Taiding’s queen into bed And at this moment in Guanzhong Local officials harassed the common people The childhood scene deeply shocked Zhang Yanghao He is heartbroken I wrote down Sanqushan Sheep, which has been praised through the ages. Tong cares about ancient times Zhang Yanghao saw that the end of the Yuan Dynasty after the civil war was approaching But can't do anything three months later Full of Confucian ideals of governing the country, he Squandering all the family wealth in the official duties of providing relief to the victims He died on the edge of a knife with grief and anger. Senior officials like Zhang Yanghao You can also write poems and articles to express concern for the country and the people. The people at the bottom don’t have this kind of nature. Because they struggle on the verge of death every day As the war between the two capitals spread to most of China, Causing shocking plunder and killing The affected northern region is in dire straits A large number of refugees appeared in Yuan Dynasty society These refugees gathered together and joined the White Lotus Sect 20 years later, under the leadership of a great hero Their anger will burn throughout the Yuan Dynasty before the second thing The governor's army invaded Zijing Pass When defeating the Grand Overseer Most of the noble soldiers went to Baoding and looted wantonly. They don't have the guts to quell the chaos But I still have the courage to plunder in the name of quelling chaos. And it's big Zhang Jingwu, a householder on Baoding Road who lives here Lead the villagers and servants Killed hundreds of robbing Dadu soldiers This is Zhang Jingwu It was during the Battle of Yashan The grandson of Zhang Hongfan, who destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty Their family was extremely honored in the Yuan Dynasty There are countless officials and nobles Four generations of ancestors and grandchildren gave birth to four thousand households. Three Kings, Three Dukes and One Prime Minister He relied on his family's loyalty to the Mongols IV It's a famous family The five brothers are also high-ranking officials in the court. The emperor will not do anything to them did not expect The Yuan Dynasty sent a large number of troops to surround the Zhang family compound. Kill all the men of the Zhang family Five of his brothers were tortured and died The female family members of the house were gang-raped to death by reinforcements Only after a beautiful granddaughter was raped Left to the Mongolian prince as a concubine Zhang Hongfan's clan became extinct At this moment, he left the memory of Zhang Hongfan, the great general of the State of Zheng. The 12 big characters "Death" are sent here Exactly 50 years Since we are talking about the Battle of Yashan, Then let us look back 50 years ago The first month of 1279 A young Song Bing minister As a subordinate of Commander Zhang Shijie Participated in the Battle of Yashan He also fell into the sea and died for his country along with other soldiers and civilians.
