Main impact

Boyan Tong's 200000 troops attacked the Song Dynasty, just like the united people. Success is still in the morning, but not in the mouth. He is very resourceful, profound in righteousness, strategic and superb. In terms of leading, employing and running the army, there are many things worthy of praise from the strategists.

military

In 1274, after the yuan army captured Jiankang (now Nanjing), Zhenjiang (now Jiangsu) and other important towns, Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, redeployed the war against the Song Dynasty. Boyan, then Prime Minister of Zhongshu, led the main force of the yuan army to Lin'an. In October, Boyan divided his troops in Zhenjiang to attack the South on three routes: ALAHAN, who participated in the administration, was the right-hand army, led Bu and Qi Jiankang to attack dusongguan through Liyang (now Jiangsu), Guangde (now Anhui), and Dong Wenbing, the governor of Zhongshu, was the left-hand Army, led Zhoushi to pass Jiangyin (now Jiangsu), Xupu (now northeast Changshu), from sea to Shupu (now South Haiyan, Zhejiang); Boyan and atahai, the governor of Zhongshu, led the army of Shuibu and Qiqi to Changzhou (now Jiangsu Province) and Pingjiang (now Suzhou City), controlled the troops and joined Lin'an. In the Middle Road, atahai led the army to besiege Changzhou and defeated 5000 Southern Song Dynasty reinforcements such as Zhang Quan, Yin Yu and Ma Shilong. Starting from Jiankang, the right arahan army successively conquered Lishui (now Jiangsu), Liyang, poyinshu and Dongba (now gaochundong), captured song General Zhao Huai, went to huyashan (now Langxi north, Anhui), defeated song reinforcements, and seized Guangde and Si'an town (now Changxing, Zhejiang). On the left, Dong Wenbing's army occupied Jiangyin. Fearing, the Song court rushed to enlist Lin'an people over the age of 15. On November 16, Boyan led his army to Changzhou and besieged the city with atahai. Boyan ordered him to move earth and build a fortress in line with the city. He set up artillery on the fortress and attacked the city for two days and nights. His ministers Yao Zhen and Chen Zhen died in battle. Boyan killed all the people in the city. When Changzhou fell, song Shoujun of Wuxi and Pingjiang fell without fighting. On the 23rd, the arahan army captured dusongguan, and the nearby garrison fled. On the fifth day of December, Dong Wenbing's army occupied Xupu. On the 27th, Boyan sent fan Wenhu, the governor of Zhejiang Province, to attack anjizhou (now Huzhou) together with ALAHAN's army, and broke the city on the third day. On the 18th of the first month of the 13th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1275), the third route of the yuan army met at Gaoting mountain (now North of Hangzhou) and marched under the city of Lin'an. Xie Daoqing, the Empress Dowager of the Southern Song Dynasty, sent envoys to surrender with the imperial seal. On the fifth day of February, Zhao Xian, Emperor Gong of Song Dynasty, led hundreds of officials to surrender. After Boyan was surrendered, he took Xie Daoqing's imperial edict to surrender to the undelivered counties. In March, Boyan ordered arahan and Dong Wenbing to continue to attack the south, and returned to Shangdu (now the northeast of Zhenglan Banner in Inner Mongolia) from the north with emperor Gong, Empress Dowager Quan's family and Southern Song clan.

Boyan helped Kublai Khan to quell the civil strife and maintain the unity of the yuan regime.

In 1277, xiliji, the son of yuanxianzong, was ordered to fight against the rebellion of Haidu together with Wang Muhan and right Prime Minister Antong of Beiping. Unexpectedly, xiliji defected and hijacked Muhan and Antong in response to Haidu's rebellion against Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan was shocked by the news and ordered Boyan to lead his army to the rescue. Boyan knew that the task of this expedition was arduous. He wanted to win the enemy and save people. He fought cautiously and lined up with the enemy across the alukun River (now the eastern foot of Hangai in the people's Republic of Mongolia). The Boyan army was well prepared, but the Le army was very strict, and no one dared to slack off. Throughout the stalemate, the enemy appeared tired and loose, and the troops were in disorder and irregular formation. In two ways, Boyan soldiers suddenly attacked the enemy and defeated the rebels, and sent the most elite warriors to the enemy's barracks to rescue Muhan and Antong. On the one hand, Boyan recruited the rebels, and on the other hand, he sent troops to pursue siriji, making him die on the way to escape. In the 25th year of the Zhiyuan Dynasty (1287), it was said that Naiyan, the king of Zong, wanted to unite with the kings of Northwest China to revolt. Kublai called on Boyan to discuss the countermeasures. Boyan suggested that he send envoys to announce his intention before he started the incident. When he arrived at Naiyan's camp, he found that he couldn't persuade Naiyan, so he absconded all night and played Kublai Khan in front of him. Kublai immediately sent troops to suppress Naiyan. Boyan also recommended Han General Li Ting and others to use the Han Army's tactics, so that before the northwest kings responded, they captured Naiyan alive and subdued his troops, eliminating the man-made disaster. In 1289, Kublai Khan ordered Boyan to lead his troops out of the town of Helin (now southwest of Ulaanbaatar, the people's Republic of Mongolia) in order to prevent Haidu rebellion. Haidu knows that it's hard to beat Boyan and has to wait and see for a long time. Later, he instigated tiemu'er to attack Helin. He was defeated by Boyan, and he sneaked out many times, all of which were defeated by Boyan.

Politics

After Kublai Khan's death, Boyan was entrusted by his fate to stabilize the court, and smoothly supported Timur (yuan Chengzong) to ascend the throne.

literature

Boyan is good at poetry. In the early Yuan Dynasty, Boyan, as the first Mongolian poet to learn to write in Chinese, has its own distinctive characteristics. Based on his unique life as a military commander, he created many poems and Sanqu works with rich content and powerful momentum. His poems and Sanqu are vigorous in style, high in mood, broad and unconstrained, vigorous in momentum, rough and forthright, which are Mongolian and Han poems of Yuan Dynasty
