Chapter 43: King Sejong Chapter 44: Storm in Mobei, Khitan destroys the country
Since the Baishui meeting in the eighth year of Pingkang, he was "bullied" by Emperor Kangzong, surrendered to Liu Wenpeng, and forcibly negotiated peace with the Mobei Khitan. After the Jin Kingdom, Taiyang Khan Liu Jin completely adjusted his strategy of rejuvenating the country and no longer went south to disturb the Han Dynasty.
Taking unification of Mobei as the priority.
The reaction of the Han Dynasty court made Liu Jin quite satisfied. After all, the emperor Liu Wenji at that time was busy regaining power, busy reforming the bad government in a drastic way, and busy resolving relations with the major feudal states.
Secondly, Liu Jin still needs to see how the Han Empire in the south reacts. Although Liu Jin is arrogant and even arrogant, he is still relatively cautious in his attitude towards the Han Empire. At least he understands that even as far away as Mobei
However, the attitude of the Han Empire was also crucial.
Although Murong Dechen and other veterans were sent north to Shanyang and Monan to serve as governor, it was just a routine to maintain an appearance. Of course, a very important point is that Liu Wenji's Khitan blood was always used to restrict him.
A shortcoming of criticizing and even attacking, this also makes him often cautious when facing Mobei affairs, and even resorting to avoidance.
The Naiman Kingdom of Jin, a "castrated version" of the Mobei Dynasty, is rising. Also starting from the third year of Jianlong, the war between the Jin Kingdom and the Raole Kingdom also started, but a semi-unified Mobei regime
And under the leadership of Liu Jin, the wolf king, its rise cannot be stopped by just Rao Leguo.
Many internal and external factors led to the fact that when Liu Jin advanced eastward with his invading troops, the Mobei Khitan's resistance would only become more and more powerless. By the Mid-Autumn Festival of the third year of Jianlong's reign, the Mobei Khitan had fallen into a complete collapse, and the Khitan people had no control over the Mobei Khitan.
The rule of the vast northern grasslands and the tribes was completely overturned.
Although the Monan area is good, it is too close to the Han Empire after all. At the same time, there is no room for the Mobei tribe. This is not the case with Rao Le Kingdom. As the first batch of feudal states designated by Emperor Shizu, from the perspective of the grassland tribes, its conditions
It's not bad. There are large areas of lush water and grass under the control, and the land conditions are very suitable for the development of animal husbandry.
The trouble in Mobei is to the empire just like the threat of northern nomadic civilization to southern farming civilization dating back thousands of years. However, in the current Han Empire, the protagonist of this confrontation in the north has become the Naiman Kingdom.
However, as time went by, there was Jingbian Fort in front and "Rao Bing" backstabbing behind. Although the Jin army maintained a strong initiative, Liu Jin finally chose to withdraw his troops after being trapped in the city for two months.
The two sides had different strategic goals and had concerns, so naturally they could not fight. However, there were no big fights. There were still a few small fights with thousands of people. As a result, although Rao Le's army was better equipped,
But compared with the more crazy and brutal Jin Bing, he was actually weaker in terms of momentum.
On the other hand, the Mobei Khitan not only faced external threats from the Naiman and Shiwei people, but also faced serious population loss problems. In the south, the Shanyang Monan area under the management of the Han Empire became increasingly prosperous
, livestock husbandry is developed, there are many cattle and sheep, and the pastures are more fertile, which is very attractive to many Khitan tribes in Mobei. Some choose to harass and loot, and some go south to join.
Although the first attempt to calm down the border town was unsuccessful, it was not without some gains for the Jin Kingdom. First of all, the Khitan's strength further shrank and could only survive around Daze (Hulun Lake);
Liu Jin's "three-step" strategy is actually the instinct of the grassland overlord, but whether it can be successful depends on the overall strategic environment. It is difficult to succeed when the Han Empire in the south is unique.
Of course, the most critical point is that Rao Leguo in the south cannot sit still. Liu Xinke has been paying attention to the development of the war in Mobei, seeing the decline of Khitan, and the monstrous ambition of the Jin Kingdom, which made Liu Xin feel a thorn in his back even though he was thousands of miles away.
Chapter 2168 Sejong Chapter 44 Storm in Mobei, Khitan destroys the country
While the empire's 100,000-strong army was struggling to conquer Yunnan and Guizhou, a story of iron horse fighting was unfolding in the vast northern Xinjiang at the same time.
They are both hunting soldiers, but they have been fighting for many years and are armed with strict military laws. Compared with Rao Le's army, which also suffers from the "peace disease", the Jin army is better in actual combat power. This point,
