Usurpation of Mongolia: My father-in-law is Genghis Khan

Chapter 87: The Mongol-Jin split, military parade on the grassland

Interestingly, this only vicious diplomatic incident was related to the Jin Dynasty.

During this year, the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were in constant turmoil.

In October of the previous year, the Southern Song Dynasty finally admitted its defeat to the Jin Dynasty and secretly agreed to the most difficult of the peace terms: killing Han Tuozhou, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

One month after the secret peace agreement was reached, Han Tuozhou was abducted and killed in Yujing Garden by soldiers sent by Palace Marshal Xia Zhen while attending court.

Last September, the Song and Jin dynasties officially reached the "Jiading Peace Agreement," which increased the Southern Song's annual tribute to the Jin dynasty to 300,000 taels of silver and 300,000 pieces of silk. The Southern Song also paid a one-time compensation of 3 million taels of silver for Jin military expenses. The Song emperor also changed his address to "uncle" for the Jin emperor.

The Jin Dynasty seemed to have achieved a revival and reached its peak moment.

However, less than two months later, the Jin Dynasty Emperor Wanyan Jing was on his deathbed.

He had been "working hard" for a year and a half before, and although he had gotten two beauties pregnant, one was only three months pregnant and the other was only five months pregnant, and neither child was born. The unborn babies were obviously unable to inherit the throne, and Wanyan Jing was faced with the embarrassing situation of having no son to inherit the throne.

In the end, Wanyan Jing decided to pass the throne to his uncle Wanyan Yongji after being persuaded by his three confidants: Prime Minister Wanyan Kuang, his beloved concubine Li Shier, and the eunuch leader Li Xinxi.

In early November, Wanyan Jing passed away, and Wanyan Yongji officially succeeded his nephew as the new emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.

When the new emperor of the Jin Dynasty ascended the throne, he had to notify Temujin, who was in charge of the entire Mongol Empire.

After all, Temujin was still nominally the "Jawuthuli" of the Great Jin Dynasty.

However, Temujin had gone to Jingzhou to pay tribute to the Jin Dynasty and had met Wanyan Yongji, who was then the King of Wei, and he also knew what kind of person Wanyan Yongji was.

When Temujin heard that Wanyan Yongji became the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, he immediately showed disdain and said the famous saying to the Jin envoy: I said that the emperor of the Central Plains was made by a man in heaven, can such a mediocre and cowardly person also be the emperor?
What that means is: I thought the Jin emperor was such a great man, but it turns out he is a waste, Wanyan Yongji!

Temujin scolded the emperor in front of the envoy, which was almost equivalent to scolding Wanyan Yongji by pointing at his nose.

Do you think this diplomatic incident is serious?
Wanyan Yongji was so angry that he turned against the Mongols.

Afterwards, both countries began to secretly prepare their troops and horses in preparation for a possible war.

……

On the Hulunbuir grassland, Zhao Shuo continued the military parade.

Ever since the breakup with the Jin Dynasty, Temujin ordered everyone to be prepared for war with the Jin Dynasty at any time.

Zhao Shuo’s military parade was for this purpose.

"let's start."

On the five-meter-high wooden platform, Zhao Shuo and Hua Zheng stood side by side and gave orders.

Boom~~
The first to appear were the Eight Hundred Black Knights.

"rush!"

Hedahei Batuer shouted loudly, and the black cavalry soldiers all put down their iron masks. Eight hundred wart armors almost simultaneously made a buzzing sound of metal friction, and the ground suddenly shook.

They started out by jogging slowly, then quickly got faster and faster, becoming a uniform and unstoppable black torrent!
"shoot!"

Whoosh whoosh!
At a distance of one hundred steps, the Black Flag Army soldiers, each with seven crossbow arrows, a total of five thousand six hundred crossbow arrows, were fired almost simultaneously!
This sudden rain of arrows was the Black Cavalry's first attack on the enemy.

Then, the black cavalry galloped while pulling the Qing Dynasty bows.

"arrow!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~
This is a unique skill that the Black Flag Army has recently mastered. When they are about 7-10 meters away from the enemy, they will release heavy arrows with their bows.

This is the famous seven-step shooting tactic of the Qing army!

It can be imagined that when the Black Cavalry rushed to this distance with their excellent defense, all armor, including the Xixia wart armor, became like paper, which was enough for the Black Cavalry to shoot the heads of the heavy infantry or heavy cavalry in front of them viciously, or nail them directly to the ground.

In other words, the enemy troops in the front row will have no chance of survival!

"Gugui!"

At Hedahei Batuer's third command, the soldiers raised their pitch-black iron caltrops. This was the Black Cavalry's third attack.

In front of them were five thousand imaginary enemies consisting of straw men wearing wooden armor.

The Black Cavalry surged like a raging wave, and the caltrops fell like meteorites. This "armor-piercing king" directly smashed through the straw men covered in thick wooden helmets. As the Black Cavalry galloped past, the entire phalanx of wooden-helmeted straw men collapsed with a loud bang, as if they had experienced an unstoppable storm.

"Black Cavalry!"

Zhao Shuo was so excited that he let out a loud roar on the platform.

"exist!"

The eight hundred black cavalrymen responded in unison, their voices so uniform and unified that it seemed as if heaven and earth were shaking. Then, their horses stamped in unison, rushing like a whirlwind to within three feet of the platform, and all dismounted.

The eight hundred men were as one, whether they were charging ahead or dismounting to form a battle line, their ranks were not at all disordered.

"I am willing to die for your majesty!"

Eight hundred warriors half-knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, their voices reaching the sky!

Become!

Zhao Shuo was overjoyed.

According to legend, the Iron Pagoda was "connected by three people and strung together with a leather rope", but Zhao Shuo did not believe it.

The iron pagodas were lined up in neat rows, hundreds of them acting as one, and were invincible. Seeing their unstoppable momentum, the Song people imagined that the iron pagodas were connected by "webbing ropes".

In fact, what connects them is training, discipline and glory!

The same principle applies to the famous "wall charge" of cavalry in later generations.

Zhao Shuo is now convinced that his Black Flag Army is in no way inferior to Jin Wushu's Iron Pagoda, and may even be better!

The second to appear was the Baru Battalion, which consisted of a little over a thousand people.

Their armor was actually the same as that of the Black Cavalry, except that the horses they rode were not armored.

They have more weapons.

The main weapons are hammers and heavy axes, and the secondary weapons are bows, crossbows and shields.

When attacking the enemy's formation, their weapons were crossbows, bows and heavy axes.

When defending or attacking enemy cities, they use crossbows, shields and hammers.

Facing enemy walls and solid infantry formations, they would be an excellent offensive weapon. Facing the enemy's rampant attacks, they would form a defensive formation and become the most stable fulcrum of the entire army.

Attack like a tiger, defend like a rock!
The third to appear was the Flying Eagle Army of 1,500 people.

As the order was given, the Flying Eagle Army moved instantly, and their formation became agile yet regular.

Relying on the flexible tendon and feather armor and long-term and rigorous training, the Flying Eagle Army, with the cooperation of their war horses, quickly formed eight different formations.

They flexibly changed their formations, quickly charging, dispersing, and then quickly closing in, like dancing steel dragons, their movements skillful and swift. They were also like swift and fierce Saker Falcons, ready to strike from mid-air and catch the red fox running wildly on the ground.

The Flying Eagle Army is almost a fully upgraded version of Mongolia's most classic light cavalry. It is terrifyingly strong whether it is attacking or fighting.

The fourth one to appear is Night Owl Guard.

The Night Owl Guards are warriors in the dark, sharp knives that specialize in carrying out special missions, so they are more difficult to display.

However, for this exercise, Zhao Shuo specially had people build a maze with wood and set up various traps and ferocious beasts inside.

Following a command from Tarhun, sixteen Night Owl teams entered the maze, melting in the sunlight. Even Zhao Shuo on the platform could not see their trace.

Then all that could be heard coming from the maze were the roars of wild beasts and the sounds of mechanisms being triggered.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the first team appeared like a ghost and raised the red flag in the center of the maze!
