How do you read Chela? The army won every battle. Only China has fought for half a century!

Mongolian cavalry, brave and good at fighting, riding and shooting, brave and good at fighting. Speaking of grassland children, these words will come to mind involuntarily, and images of them riding horses, holding bows and arrows and flying in the dust will also come to mind involuntarily. However, even if it is severe, it has been polished by the people of the Southern Song Dynasty for nearly half a century.

Today, let's talk about the fifty-year war between Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty.

Before the demise of Xixia and Xu Jin, there was no confrontation between Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty. However, no direct contact does not mean that there is no war. In fact, before Xixia and Xu Jin completely disappeared, there was a war between Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty.

What's going on here?

1227, Mongols attacked Xixia. When they besieged Yinchuan, the capital of Xixia, Genghis Khan died and the Mongols continued to attack the city. Because of the death of Genghis Khan, if Yinchuan persists for a few more months, Mongolia will probably withdraw its troops.

However, Yinchuan earthquake!

So Yinchuan surrendered, the king was killed and Xixia kingdom perished. Since then, Xu Jinguo has become even more irresistible.

Originally, in order to tidy up Xu Jinguo, Mongolia sent envoys to negotiate with the Southern Song Dynasty for many times, hoping to form an alliance to resist gold. At first, the Southern Song Dynasty hesitated and dared not agree. Later, the Mongols suggested that the Southern Song Dynasty lend them a way to avoid the heavily guarded places in Xu Jin and outflank from the rear to win Xu Jin in one fell swoop.

After careful consideration, the court of the Southern Song Dynasty agreed to this matter.

I thought it was a tunnel, but I didn't realize it. When the Mongolian army crossed the border of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was overbearing to ask the people of the Southern Song Dynasty to prepare food and grass for them. And it soon spread to the army of the Southern Song Dynasty. In a rage, Song Jun killed the pioneer of the Mongolian army and burned the plank road, making it clear that the road was blocked.

Mongolian Prince Tuo Lei walked out. His army besieged the border, killed Sichuan and occupied more than 100 cities. At the same time, he killed many people who resisted stubbornly.

After some entanglement, the two sides signed an agreement and decided to unite to attack Xu Jinguo first. In addition, after Xu Jin was destroyed, the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court hoped to recover the land occupied by Xu Jin quickly. Mongolia was very angry after learning about this, and the two sides fought again. Because the Southern Song Dynasty was not prepared for the battle, Mongolia finally won a great victory. The two countries signed an agreement again and decided to live in peace and not interfere in each other's rivers.

However, the good times did not last long. After only three or four years, Mongolia can't sit still. This time, it extended its claws to the Southern Song Dynasty. They divided their troops into three ways and attacked the court of the Southern Song Dynasty purposefully and in a planned way.

In this invasion of the Song Dynasty, all the eldest sons of the Mongolian king were in charge of the Western Expedition. Mongolian Khan attacked Sichuan with two sons and nephews, killing more than one million Sichuanese before and after. Three full-scale attacks made the Southern Song army scream again and again. The attack on Sichuan went well, but the other two battlefields were somewhat unsatisfactory.

Because, in the other two battlefields, several right-hand men in the Southern Song Dynasty, three times five divided by two, beat the Mongolian army half to death and killed the prince of the Mongolian army. Finally, the Mongols had no choice but to return to their lair.

After the failure of the first large-scale attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, Mongolia had to elect new people and had no time to take care of other wars, so it rarely took the initiative to wage wars. The war didn't start again until the new ruler Mongo came to power.

Brother Meng asked his second brother and confidant generals to attack the peripheral areas of the Southern Song Dynasty, and his third brother attacked West Asia. 1258, Mongo launched another war. This time, he personally led the troops to attack Sichuan and finally died in Chongqing. Later, the second brother Kublai Khan stopped attacking the Southern Song Dynasty and returned to Mongolia with his people. The country can't die without a monarch in a day, it must be ele.

The four-year civil war that seized power ended with Kublai Khan's accession to the throne. Like Mongo, he was busy attacking the Southern Song Dynasty as soon as he ascended the throne of Khan. He concentrated on attacking Xiangyang, where he fought Song Jun for six years before winning. After capturing Xiangyang, he rushed to Chang 'an and captured the Emperor and Empress Dowager of the Southern Song Dynasty. Several generals in the Southern Song Dynasty made a final effort. It was not until the defeat of Yashan that the Southern Song Dynasty completely collapsed.

Moreover, in the Southern Song Dynasty, political corruption, pedantry in governing the country and the army, equal rights, rejection of dissidents and appointment of mediocre talents violated the law of rewards and punishments, leading to opposition between the ruling and the opposition and moral alienation. In the end, this is also one of the main reasons for its collapse.

Through analysis, it is concluded that the Southern Song Dynasty has been entangled with Mongolia for more than 50 years, and the reasons why the Southern Song Dynasty can resist for so long are listed in detail:

First, civil wars broke out in Mongolia many times, which gave the Southern Song Dynasty the opportunity to recuperate, store food and train troops.

Second, the self-defense ability of the Southern Song Dynasty was strong enough. For example, the Mongols have quickly breached Xiangyang city and entered the city mainly. However, after the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court recovered Xiangyang, it underwent careful reform. So Kublai Khan made great efforts to invent new weapons and win Xiangyang.

Third, because the Song people invented a unique set of tactics, which were specially used to deal with grassland cavalry who conquered the land by riding horses. In addition, when fighting against the Mongolian army in Huaibei area, Song Jun, the commander in chief, took advantage of the numerous rivers and lakes here and ordered the excavation of many waterways, making it impossible for Mongolian horses to run.

In addition, when the two sides were fighting in Sichuan, Yu Jie, commander-in-chief of Song Jun, ordered all cities to be moved to mountainous areas to use natural terrain conditions to deal with Mongolian war horses. It was in this war that Mongolian Khan Mungo was killed and the Mongolian army suffered heavy losses.

From here, we can also see: from the first 1235- 124 1 and the second 1253- 1259 to the third1267-/kloc-0. The difference between Mongolia and the War to Destroy Xixia and the War of the Golden Dream is that Mongolia's war against the Southern Song Dynasty was peaceful, because of civil strife, Mongolian cavalry did not rob and raid the Jianghuai border area in the Southern Song Dynasty like Xixia.

But traditionally, song and yuan war is still regarded as the longest war against a regime by the Mongolian Empire.
