Yu Jie Governing Shu
Yu Jie was an epoch-making figure! His understanding of Shuchuan was beyond everyone at that time, including Meng Gong, the god of war in the Song Dynasty! Because he discovered a big macro difference. In the entire Eurasian continent, Shuchuan is a very special area - it is a mountain!
The Mongolian cavalry swept the world, including war horses, bows and arrows, and stone catapults. They are enough to destroy the army and the city, but they cannot conquer mountains and rivers!
And the mountains and rivers are exactly what the Southern Song Dynasty had! Specifically for Shuchuan, it is the mountains. Previously, the Mongolian army broke through Shukou and ravaged the two rivers. The records showed that Chengdu was broken, Kaizhou was broken, Chongqing was threatened, etc.... This is the problem: the city was damaged, so what about the mountains?
During the peaceful years, no one wanted to give up the plain and live on the mountains. As a result, the mountains of Shuchuan were still in their original state, Yu Jie wanted to use them!
In July, Zhang Rou led the Mongolian army to cross the Huai River at Wuhekou in Haizhou, Shandong East Road, and attacked Yang, Chu, He, and Xiao Zhuzhou. The commander of the Huaidong Zhongyong Army Wang Wen led people to fight with the Mongolian army to the east of Tianchang County of the Xuyi Army on Huainan East Road, and all died in battle. In October, the Mongolian army attacked Tongzhou on Huainan East Road, and the guardian Du Ting abandoned the city and fled. On the 16th, Tongzhou City was broken and was slaughtered. The news came, and Song Lizong hurriedly issued an edict to the commander of the two Huaihuai Li Zengbo, "Don't be uneasy because of the defeat of Tongzhou. What you have to do now is: supervise and encourage the generals to succeed." On January 11, Du Ting was dismissed and exiled to Nanxiongzhou on Guangnan East Road.
On the 15th, the Mongolian army in Sichuan attacked Xuzhou on Tongchuan Prefecture Road, and the Song general Yang Daquan died in battle. On the 18th, Song Lizong appointed Meng Gong as the Sichuan Pacification Envoy and the Kuizhou Prefecture, Bi Zhijie as the Jinghu South Road Pacification Envoy and the Tanzhou Prefecture, Zhao Kui as the Fujian Pacification Envoy and the Fuzhou Prefecture, Yu Jie as the Sichuan Pacification Envoy and the Chongqing Prefecture. On the 19th, Song Lizong issued an edict, "Yu Jie was responsible for the whole of Sichuan, and all his military operations were allowed to be implemented cheaply."
On January 9 of the Chunyou year (14), Lv Wende was appointed as the Fuzhou Observation Envoy, the deputy commander of the guards of the horse army, and the general commander of the two Huai troops.
This month, Zhang Rou sent ten generals to the military farming of Xiangcheng County, Ruzhou, Nanjing Road.
In the month, Mongolian soldiers captured Zizhou on Tongchuan Prefecture Road. During the campaign of conquering Shu, Wang Shixian, the former commander-in-chief of Gongchang, made great contributions. This month, Kuoduan officially appointed him as the chief commander-in-chief and still ruled the military of more than 0 states including Qin. Wang Shixian died soon, and his son Wang Dechen took over as his father and led his troops to conquer Shu with the Mongolian army.
The Mongolian Ma Zhen later became the commander and continued to favor the traitors and returned to the Aodulaheman. No matter the big and small matters, they all listened to the ruling. Yelu Chucai was in a fight against the court, and one or two listened to the court, and eight or nine people did not listen. In May, Yelu Chucai submitted a report, "There should be disturbed by the Yinghuo's house." Then Ma Zhen later wanted to move west to avoid it. Yelu Chucai advised, "The fundamentals of the court and the fundamentals will shake, and the world will be in chaos. I observe the way of heaven, and I will definitely suffer the troubles of heaven." It was decided a few days later. Later, Ma Zhen trusted the Aodulaheman and gave it to him with the treasure and empty paper, allowing him to write to him when he encountered the matter. Yelu Chucai also advised, "The world is the world of the late emperor! The court has its own constitutional system, and I dare not accept it.
"The emperor Ma Zhen ordered the repatriation. But a few days later, he issued an imperial edict, "All the affairs of Aodula and the man Jianbai, if the historian does not write, he should cut off his crimes." Yelu Chucai was the Minister of the Secretariat at that time. "The national allusions, the former emperor appointed all the old ministers, so what should he do with the emperor? If the matter is reasonable, I should follow it. If it is not feasible, I will not avoid it, let alone intercept the hand." Then Ma Zhen was furious and ordered him to withdraw and behead him! Yelu Chucai shouted loudly, "The old minister served Taizu, and Emperor Taizong has been for more than 0 years, and he will not betrayed the country! How can the queen kill the old ministers without guilt?" Although Ma Zhen was angry, he knew that Yelu Chucai was an old honor in the first dynasty, so he could only talk about it later...
In July, the Sichuan General Administration Department reported: Mongolia attacked the Da'an Army, and Yang Shi'an, deputy general manager of Zhongyi, guarded Yukong Pass. If the lonely city does not surrender, he can serve as the border guard. Song Lizong immediately issued an edict: Yang Shi'an took office as the Da'an Army's commander.
In September, Zhang Rou was ordered to guard Qi County, Kaifeng Prefecture, and strengthen water surface defense. He completely cut off the Southern Song Dynasty's attempt to go from Si to the Bian River to see Bian and Luo with its powerful naval army.
The wealth and taxes in Shu are originally in the world. Every year, there are more than 5 million titaniums in the Third Department of Revenue, and more than 5 million titaniums in the Fourth General Office. This is just copper coins, gold, silver, silk and brocade. However, since the loss of the pass in 2017, Shu was destroyed in 2016, and there were few prefectures and counties in 2016, and the national use was increasingly difficult. In the past 14 years, the court appointed a total of 9 envoys, and the commanders were set up, and 4 deputy envoys... But these people were old, temporary, mediocre, greedy, miserable, and miserable, and were far away but not in the future, or had a gap and rarely planned. The supervisors and the generals of the Rong made special orders. The Shu government was getting worse, and the people could be said to be in trouble.
Until now, Yu Jie took office and began to make major reforms to the bad policies. Yu Jie divided the task of governing Sichuan into two steps:
First, gather talents. Shuchuan has many outstanding scholars since ancient times, and as long as they are dedicated, they will not lack talents. Yu Jie specially built a talent recruitment hall on the left side of the General's Mansion. "Gathering the public to think, and spreading loyalty and good fortune. Zhuge Kongming was the reason why he governed Shu. If a scholar wanted to have a plan to tell me, he would go directly to the Duke's Mansion, and if he was far away, he would say that he would be in the prefectures and counties and send him with courtesy. He would be highly rewarded by the court." Whenever a scholar came, Yu Jie would personally accept the court. If he had any advice, he would take the initiative and follow his talents. If he didn't have it, he would thank him.
Not long after, Yu Jie got talents such as Wang Jian, Zhang Yu, Zhang Shi, Ran Guan, Ran Pu and others. The first three shone brightly in the future and became bright stars in the Southern Song Dynasty war generals, supporting the Han people and the Mongolian army to the end. The later Ran brothers in Bozhou were even more decisive: because without them, there would be no Shuchuan!
The Ran brothers lived in Yu Jie's recruitment hall for several months, but did not say a word. Yu Jie was puzzled, "Do you want to see what my courtesy treats the scholars?" So he arranged the two brothers into a hotel dedicated to entertaining officials of the court, and sent someone to secretly observe what the brothers did. The observers reported that "they either sat opposite each other, used chalk to draw some mountains, rivers and cities on the ground, or were wandering around outside." After hearing this, Yu Jie didn't understand what the two brothers were doing?
One day in November more than ten days later, the two brothers finally came to Yu Jie and asked Yu Jie to shut up all others. "My brother has accepted the courtesy of Ming Gong and has discussed some strategies that are beneficial to defending Shu. We think the most critical issue at the moment is to move Hezhou City on Tongchuan Prefecture Road." Yu Jie was overjoyed and said, "This is Jie's ambition. But I can't think of where to move to." The Ran brothers said, "There is no better place in Shukou than Diaoyu Mountain, so please move here.
If there were a capable general and sufficient food, fishing for a city would be better than a hundred thousand troops." Yu Jie was overjoyed, "I did not read it wrong! Your brothers are really strange people. I dare not take credit. I will submit a memorial to the court to ask for credit for you. I also ask you to help me complete the great cause of relocation and building a city." Song Lizong fully supported Yu Jie at this time, and he had no inaccurate requests for Yu Jie. He immediately issued an edict: Ran Yu was the Chengshu Lang, and he was the Chengshu Lang, and he was the Chengshu Lang, and he was the Tongshu Army.
The Ran brothers finally helped Yu Jie complete the unique mountain city defense system in Shuchuan. The representative work is of course the Diaoyu City in Hezhou! Diaoyu City has a steep stone wall and a towering mountain with a relative height of more than 00 meters. The Jialing River, Fu River and Qu River are surrounded by three rivers at the foot of the mountain. The south, north and west are surrounded by water, and only the east can be reached...
The benefits of mountains and rivers are enough to consolidate danger. The convenience of mountains and rivers can reach all parts of Shuchuan. Such a majestic pass and such a vital point are the natural fortress given to Shuchuan by God!
Unfortunately, few people agreed at that time! Traditional thinking is a commonality of humanity, and only a few heroes have been able to break it forever. Yu Jie wanted to expand Diaoyu City on the basis of the original Diaoyu Village, and there was an uproar. He felt that the new leader was really out of tune. He looked at the ready-made city without strengthening, but ran to the top of the mountain to drink the cold wind? Yu Jie disagreed with the opposition that "If the city is completed, Shu will rely on peace. If not, I will go to Diaoyu City alone, and you don't need to follow you."
The walls of Diaoyu City are several meters high and are made of stones. There are 8 gates in the city, including three defense lines, outer city and inner city. A one-character city is built from north to south to connect with the Jialing River for supply, and at the same time it can block the movement of the enemy's outside the city, and also form a three-dimensional offensive and defensive system with the outer city!
The success of Diaoyu City also led to the construction of a series of surrounding mountain cities. Chengdu, Peng, Lang, Yang, Kui, He, Shunqing and Longqing eight prefectures jointly built more than 10 mountain cities including Yunding, Yunshan, Dahuo, and Han, Baidi, Qingju, Kuzhu, Tiansheng! They built "chess and stars to divide the stars and make them the capitals of various counties. Serve troops and accumulate grain, and they must guard the plan." At the same time, Yu Jie moved the Jinzhou Chief Commander to Dahuo City to protect Shukou; Mianzhou Chief Commander moved to Qingju City, and Xingzhou Chief Commander Commander first stationed in the old city of Hezhou. After the Diaoyu City was completed, he moved to Diaoyu City. Lizhou Chief Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Controlled the South of the Yangtze River and also prevented the Mongolian Army from entering western Sichuan!
The above eight cities, Jialing River, Fu River and Qu River are collectively known as the "Three Rivers and Eight Pillars" and are the core of Shuchuan's defense! Based on this, the Southern Song Dynasty successively built dozens of hundreds of mountain cities in the Minjiang River, Tuojiang River, Yangtze River, Tongjiang, Nanjiang River, Bahe River and other river basins. There are 44 addresses available today, most of which were built by Yu Jie when he was governing Shu. These mountain cities generally choose not very high cliffs, but the cliffs must be steep, which can greatly weaken the charge power of the Mongolian cavalry. At the same time, relying on the riverside water, it can not only use water conservancy to increase the mountain situation, but also give full play to the traditional advantages of the Southern Song navy and get in touch with the outside world...
There are usually dozens or hundreds of acres of land on the top of the mountain, which can be farmed, logged, and hunted. There must also be springs to provide sufficient water. In this way, each mountain city can form its own system and can survive for a long time without external supplies!
Yu Jie also summarized a complete set of experiences in fighting the Mongolian army: 1. Wait for work and do not fight lightly; gather for protection of mountains and dangers, do not live in flat land; use night robbery more often, do not fight daytime; 4. Gathering food and not to invest in the enemy. These are the great things that make the situation in Shuchuan unprecedented. "The army can fight when defend, the people can farm when they get jobs, and the soldiers can learn when they have a place. Just like the arm and the force, the momentum is connected, the troops can gather grain, and the people can only have the heart to be at peace."
After that, Yu Jie presented the "Maintaining the Four Shu Map" to the court, and said, "Fortunately, I took the land of the Four Shu for ten years and entered the court. Then I returned to the old mountains and forests, which is my wish."
On January 17, Shi Songzhi asked for resignation five times in succession, but refused. At that time, Huang Tao, Liu Yingqi and many others wrote letters to impeach Shi Song's traitor and abusing power. Song Lizong refused to listen, and the words were more and more numerous.
This year, Badu established his country in a camp in the lower reaches of the Volga River, and established Salai City (near Astrakhan) as the capital. It has the vast area of Shihe that starts from Yeer in the east and ends at Oguosi in the west, which is known in history as the Qincha Khanate.
On January 1, 144, the 4th year of Chunyou (144), the Mongolian emperor Nai Ma Zhen called him the Helin. The news that the people of the Mongolian Empire were dissatisfied with the hearts of the people reached the Southern Song Dynasty. Song Lizong issued an edict, "God helps to obey, and the enemy country is in absent. I am right to promote kindness and trust to the hearts of the people, and to wait for opportunities. I will consult the ministers who specialize in commanding the generals of the Rong. From now on, we should gather the refugees to restore the old; recruit generals to make new things for themselves. Do not be good at promoting and abolishing the enemy, and do not kill innocent people, so that the remains of the Central Plains will have the hope of renewal."
Song Lizong appointed Li Mingfu as the chief political affairs, Du Fan as the co-magistrate of the Privy Council, and Liu Bozheng as the signing of the Privy Council. Du Fan disdained to join forces with Li Mingfu, so he resigned. The students of the Imperial College wrote a letter asking Du Fan to be kept and denounced Li Mingfu, and the book also denounced Shi Songzhi. Shi Songzhi was furious. On the 16th, he instructed the censors Liu Jinzhi, Wang Zan, Zhao Lun, and Lu Wu to impeach Li Mingfu and Du Fan, so Li and Du were dismissed from office together.
On the 17th, the Privy Council submitted a memorial to "After the Sichuan general Yu Jie took office, he fought with the Mongolian army for six major battles, and should be rewarded according to his merits." Song Lizong immediately ordered Yu Jie to report the list of meritorious soldiers, and the court rewarded him. On the 19th, he ordered Yu Jie to serve as the Sichuan military farm envoy.
This month, Yu Jiezhi beheaded Wang Kui, the governor of Lizhou who was known as "Wang Yasha".
Yu Jie came to Jiading Mansion on the road to Chengdu Prefecture. Wang Kui led 00 weak and remnants to greet him. Yu Jie was puzzled, "I heard that Wang Du was in command of the military force. Now I am disappointed when I see him." Wang Kui replied, "The Kui soldiers are not good, but they are just worried that they will scare you and your followers, so they did not come out." After a while, the sound of the soldiers gathering was like thunder, and the river water was boiling. The word "Wang" was smart. The people on the boat were frightened, and only Yu Jie was calm and calm, and ordered everyone to receive rewards according to their merits. After the military parade, Wang Kui sighed, "I don't want this person among the Confucians."
Yu Jie saw Wang Kui's strength with his own eyes. He secretly found his trusted general Yang Cheng. "Wang Kui lived in Sichuan for a long time, but hesitated. I wanted to kill him, but I was worried that his subordinates would change because of this. He was quite hesitant." Yang Cheng said, "If it is not executed now, the greater the power in the future, the more difficult it will be to plan. Once it changes, the land of Shu will be in danger! May I ask the general: How is Wang Kui compared with Wu? The country was in danger, and Wu Jie could protect Shu for hundreds of battles before he could pass it on to four generations. The fundamental reason is that many Sichuan people only know the name of Wu but not the court. But once Wu Xi rebelled, the generals would kill him, like taking the lonely pig. Kui has no great achievements of Wu, but he has Wu Xi's rebellious intentions. We can kill him with a warrior! But if he waits for him to take him, we will be in a dilemma." Yu Jie nodded and said, "Operation tonight! I will trick Wang Kui to come here to discuss matters, and you will take the opportunity to take control of the army immediately."
At night, Wang Kui received Yu Jie's invitation, but he left alone without thinking. As soon as Wang Kui left his camp, Yang Cheng immediately rode alone into the camp and told Yu Jie that he would take over Wang Kui's position temporarily! The soldiers were all stunned and didn't know what to do. When the news of Wang Kui being beheaded by Yu Jie that night came, the generals immediately ********** and did not dare to cause trouble. Afterwards, Yu Jie recommended Yang to become the governor of Wenzhou.
On the month and the day, 100,000 yuan of paper coins were produced in each of the seventeen realms of the 17th realm of the sealed treasury, and the Jinghu, Sichuan, and Lianghuai Divisions on the front line, so that they could restrain the remains of the soldiers who had died in the war in recent years.
On May 19, Mongolian soldiers surrounded Shouchun of Anfeng Army on Huainan West Road again, and Lv Wende personally led the naval and land troops to rescue the siege.
This month, because Ma Zhen was appointed as the commander and acted against the enemy, Yelu Chucai was angry to death! After his death, some people falsely accused him of being in the prime minister for a long time, and half of the world's tribute and taxes were entered into his family. Ma Zhen sent someone to confiscate his home, but only more than ten Qin Ruan, calligraphy, painting, gold and stone, and dozens of volumes of remains. Yelu Chucai was a famous prime minister of the generation, read a lot of books and was familiar with astronomy and numerology. He took it as his own responsibility to help the country and the people, and his ministers were incomparable to him.
On June 1, Yu Jie reported: Yun Gong, the commander-in-chief of Mianzhou and the acting prefect of Suining, killed and seized people's wealth, attacked and robbed Longshiquan County Seal. Zhang Juan, the acting prefect of Tongchuan, was unscrupulous in the army, killed and plundered civilians. Song Lizong issued an edict to dismiss the two, Yun Gong was exiled to Qiongzhou, and Zhang Juan was exiled to Zhaozhou.
This month, Emperor Lizong of Song appointed Lv Wende as the governor of Huainan West Road and the governor of Haozhou. He controlled the army of Hao, Feng, Shou and Bozhou.
In June, Ma Zhen appointed Yang Weizhong as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat.
Chapter completed!
