Of course Liang Qishen did not want to destroy the country, but he wanted to help the emperor take back military power./Start/Send

The Western Xia system originated from the Han system, and the military, political and economic systems were imitated by the Song system. However, because it was a kingdom where Han and Fan coexisted, its various systems were marked by a distinct tribal alliance system.

The predecessor of the Western Xia royal family was Tuoba of Xianbei, which evolved into Dangxiang Tuoba in the early Tang Dynasty due to intermarriage and intermigration. The Dangxiang people grew stronger, and their leader Tuoba Chi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, gave him the surname Li, and was named Xi Duke. Tuoba Sigong made contributions to pacifying Huang Chao at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and then gave him the surname Li, and was named Duke of Xia. The extremely descendants of the Tuoba family immediately became vassal states in the Helan Mountain area in the northwest. In addition to the Dangxiang people and Han people, there were also Tubo, Uighurs, Tatars and other foreigners. Therefore, the Xia Kingdom began with the establishment of the vassal state. Although it imitated the Han system and learned the rituals of the French to govern the country, it was not done well due to the actual situation, especially in the distribution of power, which had always been serious struggles, which led to the increasingly intensified conflicts between the Han and the Chinese.

The Khitans were also a kingdom where the Han and Fan coexisted, but it implemented the national policy of "one country, two systems, the Han and Fan co-governance". The Han and Fan shared their authority and effectively eased the conflict between the Han and Fan. However, the Dangxiang people of Xixia accepted Han culture for too long and had a deep-rooted worship of Han culture and believed it deeply.

Li Yuanhao promoted the rituals of the Fan Learning in the northwest and "de-Sinicization", but Fan Learning is actually something that the Fans used Western Xia characters to translate and explain Han Confucianism, but instead of medicine, so the Dangxiang people stubbornly copied and implemented the centralized Han people. It was obviously ignoring the reality of the implementation of this centralized system in a small kingdom where the Han and Fan coexisted. However, the Li royal family and the Han people believed that this was very correct and that it was a must-take for the Western Xia to be powerful, while the Dangxiang tribe leader and the kings of the Fans believed that this system had damaged their power and interests, so they had been resisting and fighting.

The result of the struggle between the two forces and the two concepts is that the learning of the Fan rituals has become the "four nosys". The royal family and the powerful and wealthy bureaucrats of the Han rituals have to transform and use the learning of the Fan rituals at all costs, so as to achieve their own political goals and seize greater power. The result of this struggle is that the royal family and the relatives of the outside world, the Dangxiang people and the Han people take turns to take power and fight each other.

Li Qianshun became the emperor at the age of three. Empress Dowager Liang was in charge of the rule and arranged a large group of Han teachers for him. Therefore, the education he received was orthodox Han Confucianism. After Li Qianshun took power, he naturally valued the Han ministers to promote the Han rituals of Han because the education he received told him that before this, the reason why the wars and the courts were constantly infighting was that the system was wrong. This wrong system came from the "four-no-like" foreign learning of Han rituals. For this reason, it was necessary to rebuild the Han rituals of Han, change the national policy, and revise the system. The ultimate goal was to centralize and concentrate all power in the hands of the emperor, so as to ensure that the Western Xia gradually embarked on the right path.

If you centralize power, you will deprive others of their power and harm their interests. This is a life-and-death struggle. Therefore, this kind of reform requires a strong emperor and a relatively stable environment, but Xixia does not have a stable environment. Fortunately, Li Qianshun is relatively strong, so he first seized military power. The military power of Xixia has been controlled by the royal family, foreign relatives and the Dangxiang nobles for a long time. This is a kind of check and balance of power and a political compromise.

Li Qianshun broke this situation of checks and balances. He first attacked the foreign relatives, robbed the military power of his mother and uncle, and then attacked the royal family, robbed the military power of Li Awu, and finally attacked the nobles of Dangxiang, and brought back the military power of Renduo Baozhong. Taking back the military power is one thing, exercising military power is another thing, and a good system also needs to be implemented by effective people. Li Qianshun did not dare to hand over the military power to the Han people, so he had to give it to the royal family. In this case, Brother Richard was given important tasks.

Too concentrated power will inevitably lead to a series of disadvantages. Brother Richard is also a human being. He is also an ambitious young man. Over time, Brother Richard has become arrogant and do whatever he wants. Li Ganshun felt the threat and had to weaken and curb him. The best way to regain military power is to decentralize power first. Decentralization also requires time. Just in time, the Tiger and Lie Army attacked Xixia and gave Li Ganshun the opportunity.

Li Anhui was a clan of the royal family, King Zhao and a civil servant. He has been in charge of the Secretariat for a long time. This time, Li Ganshun asked him to serve as the commander of the Northern Army. His intention was very obvious, which was to revoke the military power of the Right wing.

The local army in Xixia was divided into the twelve military supervisors of the left and right wings. The simple division was to the Yellow River as the boundary. The left wing was east of the Yellow River. It mainly dealt with the Song Dynasty. The right wing was east of the Yellow River. From west to east, it was to defend against Tubo, the desert and the Khitans in turn. Now Li Ganshun asked Li Chage to go to the southern battlefield to command the left wing. The royal family Han King Li Renzhong led the garrison and the capturing army in the capital. Li Anhui led the right wing north of Helan Mountain.

Li Renzhong was also a civil servant, the Minister of Rites. He was an absolute supporter of Li Ganshun's promotion of the Han rituals. After Prime Minister Xue Yuanli was dismissed, Li Ganshun immediately asked Liang Qishen to be the prime minister and let him take charge of the Privy Council and firmly control the military and political power. Now, as long as Li Ganshun firmly controls the army on the right wing, Brother Richard's threat to him will be reduced to a minimum.

However, the facts are far more complicated than he imagined.

Lee Anhui scolded

The commander of the commander of the Shun Military Supervisor Department of the right wing, Renduo Dongguang, and the commander of the Baimaqiang Town Military Supervisor Li Qingyun sat aside and remained silent. At this time, it was not their turn to speak.

After Li Anhui cursed, she vented her anger and gradually calmed down, "Can we take the initiative to attack now? We only have 50,000 people in our hands, can 50,000 people defeat the Tiger and Lieutenant Army?"

"Duan, if you don't fight, Xingqing Mansion will send someone to replace you immediately." Rendao Dongguang said, "You have no choice, you must go to the battle."

"The Tiger Lie Army has more than 100,000 yuan, how can we fight? Where will the chance of winning come from when facing a head-on battle?" Li Anhui sighed helplessly, "I am willing to bear the blame if I lose, but how can the Keyimen stick to it?"

"It's not that you can defend the Keyi Gate, but that you must ensure the command of the right wing." Renduo Dongguang said seriously, "The King of Jin repeatedly warned us that Liang Qishen should not be robbed of the command of the right wing in any case."

"This is Liang Qishen's conspiracy." Li Qingyun sneered, "The Liang family has been enduring it for more than ten years, and finally can't help it. If Liang Qishen's conspiracy succeeds, the military power will inevitably be divided into three. We cannot control the army and we will not be able to defeat the enemy on the battlefield."

Li Anhui sighed to the sky. When the emperor was in charge of the government, he worked hard to govern the government and achieved good results in both military and political affairs. However, with the deepening of reform and the gradual implementation of the new policies, the vested interests of the royal family and the powerful party in the Party were greatly damaged, while the Han people made profits step by step. Although these new policies were nominally beneficial to the country and the people, there were too many wars, and the country and the people were extremely poor. The only thing people could see was that the Han people and the Han families enjoyed the great benefits brought to them by the new policies. This was something that the royal family and the powerful party in the Party in the Party in the Party, and the conflict finally broke out.

If the Tiger Lieutenant Army did not launch an attack at this moment, if the Song Dynasty did not take advantage of the fire, as long as the Richard Brother and Dangxiang powerful people were given enough time, then the Xingqing Mansion would undergo earth-shaking changes. Unfortunately, when the war broke out, Richard Brother and Dangxiang powerful people had to rush to the battlefield, which gave the emperor and Han ministers the opportunity to fight back.

"Do you have any countermeasures?" Lee Anhui walked to Rendao Dongguang and took the initiative to ask for advice.

Renduo Dongguang nodded. The Renduo family is a large tribe of the Dangxiang people. This family has emerged in many famous generals and is the backbone of the powerful and powerful Dangxiang in the Western Xia Dynasty.

At that time, Empress Dowager Liang joined forces with the royal family and the Renduo family to kill his younger brother Liang Qi. After Li Ganshun personally fought, he relied on the strength of the Renduo family to successively consolidate the foreign relatives Liang and the royal family. Later, Renduo Baozhong of the Renduo family voluntarily retreated, but this family was still the most powerful faction in the Western Xia army. After Richard took charge of military power, he first reused the Renduo family. During this period, seven commanders of the Military Supervisors came from the Renduo family. At present, in the Western Xia army, from the Central Guards (Proptocratic Army), the Capital Garrison Army, the Captaining Army to the Twelve Military Supervisors Offices on the left and right, the children of the Renduo family played important positions, which shows the huge family's power.

"The Sixth Army Office of the Right Xiang, Heishui Town Yan, Xiping, Gansu is in the northwest direction, defending against the desert, Uighurs and Tubo, and is currently not within the control of the General. "Rendu Dongguang spread out the map and said to Li Anhui, "The General Office actually controls the three military supervisors, Heishan Weifu, Baimaqiang Town and Right Xiang Chaoshun. The Heishan Weifu Army was almost wiped out, and only three or four thousand people fled back. The main forces of the Northeast Defense Line are all in Heishan Weifu, so although Baimaqiang Town and Right Xiang Chaoshun have 50,000 troops, their actual combat power is not high, and 50,000 people can only be used as 20,000 people."

Li Anhui's face suddenly changed. 50,000 people can only be used as 20,000 people, so what kind of war is it?

"There are four states around Xingqing Prefecture, Ding, Huai, Jing and Shun. These four states have 50,000 troops, which are guarding the capital. But now the capital not only has 30,000 garrison troops, but also 100,000 capturing troops. In addition, the army of these four states has a total force of up to 180,000." Renduo Dongguang continued, "Your Majesty believed Liang Qishen's greedy words and only cared for military power and regardless of the national fortune and safety, which is simply incredible."

"Your Majesty must win the war in order to deprive him of military power." Li Qingyun couldn't help but say angrily, "The six military supervisors in the left wing can use 200,000 troops in the war. However, in recent years, wars on the southern front were frequent, and soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The six military supervisors could urgently recruit no more than 100,000 troops. Therefore, every time a war comes, the Capitulation Army must be transferred to the southern front. However, this time, Your Majesty listened to Liang Qishen's greedy words and refused to dispatch the Capitulation Army in order to deprive King Jin of the military power. The King of Jin has limited military strength, and whether it is proactive or passive defense, it cannot defeat the Song army."

"We will use the trick." Renduo Dongguang sneered, "Since Xingqing Mansion wants us to take the initiative, we will turn the northern line into the main battlefield and force His Majesty to transfer the Capturing Army to the northern line, so that we will have 100,000 main forces and can fight the Tiger Lie Army to the death."
