Chapter 104 Section 2 Genghis Khan's King

In order to ascertain the reality of the Jin Kingdom, Genghis Khan asked to see Jin Zhangzong in the name of paying tribute.Jin Zhangzong was afraid that there would be fraud, so he sent Wanyan Yongji, who was still King Wei at the time, to the border to accept tribute.This is also the first meeting between Wanyan Yongji and Genghis Khan. What will happen after the meeting? Wei Wang Yongji was relatively cowardly, and Genghis Khan had heard of him.However, King Wei still had to put on the posture of a kingdom from heaven, and Genghis Khan looked down on Yongji's behavior.When Genghis Khan entered the big tent, Yongji was closing his eyes and recuperating because of his age and lack of energy.As soon as Genghis Khan came in, he first reported his family name.He put his hands on his chest, bent slightly, and said that Genghis Khan of Great Mongolia had met King Wei of the Kingdom of Jin.Yongji closed his eyes, didn't even look at it, and said to sit down and sit down.The officials around covered their mouths and secretly laughed, no one kneeled down for you, what kind of body and what seat are you given?Yongji only opened his eyes when he heard the laughter, why don't you kneel down?Genghis Khan laughed, I am now the lord of the Mongolian steppe, with 400,000 households, why should I kneel down to you?After he finished speaking, he walked away, making Yongji so angry that his beard cocked up.After Yongji returned to the court, he reported to Jin Zhangzong, and Genghis Khan's wolf ambitions were clearly revealed. Simply, let's trick him into the customs and kill him.Genghis Khan was very shrewd. He took a look at the border and understood what the Jin people wanted to do.You want me to enter the country, so I won't go. If I go, I will end up like my ancestor, Amba Haihan.

Jin Zhangzong was already seriously ill at that time, and he was in no mood to care about Genghis Khan's affairs at all. His thoughts were all on whether his two unborn children could succeed to the throne in the future.Zhang Zong passed away, King Wei succeeded to the throne, and envoys went to Mongolia to deliver edicts, and your suzerain country has changed masters.The envoy issued an edict and asked Genghis Khan to kneel down to meet him.Genghis Khan was hunting at the time, so he casually received the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin by the river.When the Jin envoy held out the imperial edict to be read out, Genghis Khan said, don't read it yet, who is the new emperor?Let me hear it.The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin said that the emperor had passed away, and let his uncle King Wei Yongji succeed him.After hearing this, Genghis Khan smiled contemptuously and said, I thought that the emperor of the Central Plains is worthy of being a heavenly person, and even Yongji's appearance is also worthy of being an emperor?After he finished speaking, he got on his horse and walked away, leaving the Jin envoy on the spot, and did not accept the imperial edict.Your Jin Kingdom is gone?Choose this kind of person to be the emperor?The envoy went back to report and said that Genghis Khan refused to accept the imperial edict. King Wei was furious and turned against him!Sure enough, Genghis Khan really turned his back.In 1211 AD, which was the third year after King Wei succeeded to the throne, Genghis Khan led an army led by the Wanggu tribe on the grassland, crossed the Yin Mountain, and launched a fierce attack on the Kingdom of Jin.

The Wanggu tribe lived nomadicly in the Yin Mountains and was more influenced by the civilization of the Central Plains than other tribes in the grassland.Both the Liao and Jin dynasties regarded the Wanggu tribe as a defensive force on the frontier, relying on it as the Great Wall, and ruling the barbarians with barbarians.The Jin Dynasty was very relieved of Wang Gu's department, and the defense of the Yinshan area was handed over to Wang Gu.The Jin army guarded against Mongolia, mainly stationed in Liaodong, from the original Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing in Liao to Liaoning and Jilin.As for the north direction, there is basically no defense, and it is safe to hand it over to the Wanggu Ministry. I did not expect the Wanggu Ministry to be linked with Genghis Khan.When Genghis Khan's army crossed the desert and came to the Wanggu tribe, the Wanggu tribe did not resist at all and allowed Genghis Khan to graze and station horses here.Moreover, the Wanggu Ministry served as the guide for the Mongols, leading Genghis Khan's army to enter the border of the Kingdom of Jin, and soon broke through the defense line on the border of the Kingdom of Jin.As soon as the defense line on the border of the Kingdom of Jin was breached, King Wei became anxious, what happened?Can we even defeat these uncivilized barbarians on the grassland?The Kingdom of Jin mobilized 400,000 troops and fought a decisive battle with Genghis Khan's troops at Yehuling. The Mongols rode out and defeated each one.The Kingdom of Jin was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of troops withdrew in a hurry.Today's Xuanhua and Zhangbei areas have been captured by the Mongolian army one after another, and the Mongolian army is only 180 miles away from Zhongdu.Hu Shahu, who stayed behind in Xijing of the Kingdom of Jin, can also be regarded as a brave general. Hearing that the Mongolian army came, he left Xijing to his deputy general, and ran away with 7,000 cavalry. These 7,000 cavalry were to protect him. of.He ran to the vicinity of the central capital in one breath, and reported to King Wei that our army could not defeat the Mongols, and Xijing had been lost.

King Wei was taken aback. As soon as the battle started, Xijing was lost.King Wei hurriedly ordered to mobilize heavy troops to counterattack.
