聯合氏族
李(li)繼(ji)(ji)遷(qian)在(zai)平夏和南山部民反(fan)抗宋朝邊疆官吏的(de)(de)(de)(de)暴虐統治的(de)(de)(de)(de)斗爭中(zhong),以自己的(de)(de)(de)(de)氏(shi)族(zu)(zu)充當(dang)他(ta)(ta)們的(de)(de)(de)(de)保護人,與此同時,他(ta)(ta)還與氏(shi)族(zu)(zu)們結成聯(lian)姻關(guan)系,以權力(li)和劫掠作為誘餌。所有這(zhe)(zhe)些,都是李(li)繼(ji)(ji)遷(qian)用以保證他(ta)(ta)們臣服于自己的(de)(de)(de)(de)策(ce)略(lve)。李(li)繼(ji)(ji)遷(qian)本人在(zai)強大的(de)(de)(de)(de)南山野(ye)利氏(shi)中(zhong)選擇了(le)一(yi)位(wei)妻子,于是野(ye)利氏(shi)就(jiu)成了(le)西(xi)夏早期的(de)(de)(de)(de)上(shang)等“內”氏(shi)族(zu)(zu)之(zhi)一(yi)。野(ye)利后(hou)及其氏(shi)族(zu)(zu)在(zai)西(xi)夏歷史上(shang)曾經顯(xian)赫(he)一(yi)時,他(ta)(ta)們的(de)(de)(de)(de)地位(wei)一(yi)度甚至可以與蕭后(hou)氏(shi)族(zu)(zu)在(zai)契丹國(guo)的(de)(de)(de)(de)地位(wei)相當(dang)。李(li)繼(ji)(ji)遷(qian)這(zhe)(zhe)些聯(lian)姻政(zheng)策(ce),最(zui)大限度的(de)(de)(de)(de)團結了(le)黨項內部的(de)(de)(de)(de)各大勢力(li),為進一(yi)步擴張奠定(ding)了(le)基礎(chu)。
建設新都
1003年(nian)(nian)(北(bei)宋咸(xian)平六年(nian)(nian)、遼(liao)統和二十一(yi)年(nian)(nian)),靈(ling)州(zhou)被改名(ming)為(wei)西(xi)平府。李繼(ji)遷(qian)建都靈(ling)州(zhou)后,立即開(kai)(kai)始恢復(fu)這里的運河系統,并將(jiang)鄂(e)爾(er)(er)多(duo)斯的居民(min)強(qiang)迫遷(qian)往(wang)新(xin)首都,以增加農業人口(kou),擴大稅(shui)收基地(di)。也就是在這一(yi)年(nian)(nian),宋朝承認(ren)既成(cheng)事實,正式將(jiang)982年(nian)(nian)(北(bei)宋太平興國七(qi)年(nian)(nian)、遼(liao)乾亨四年(nian)(nian))李繼(ji)捧放棄的鄂(e)爾(er)(er)多(duo)斯五州(zhou)之地(di)歸(gui)還給了(le)李繼(ji)遷(qian)。與此同時(shi),李繼(ji)遷(qian)已經在距離靈(ling)州(zhou)西(xi)南500里的涼州(zhou)開(kai)(kai)辟了(le)另一(yi)條通道——涼州(zhou)成(cheng)為(wei)甘肅(su)走廊與開(kai)(kai)封之間朝貢(gong)貿易往(wang)來和馬(ma)匹交易的中樞。
外交
李(li)繼(ji)遷與(yu)(yu)遼(liao)(liao)(liao)朝(chao)契丹王族也(ye)建立了(le)聯(lian)(lian)姻關系(xi)。986年(nian)(北(bei)(bei)宋雍熙三年(nian)、遼(liao)(liao)(liao)統和(he)(he)四年(nian)),李(li)繼(ji)遷表示歸順遼(liao)(liao)(liao)朝(chao),向遼(liao)(liao)(liao)請婚。989年(nian)(北(bei)(bei)宋雍熙六(liu)年(nian)、遼(liao)(liao)(liao)統和(he)(he)七(qi)年(nian)),他如愿得到了(le)遼(liao)(liao)(liao)朝(chao)公主,并(bing)在(zai)990年(nian)(北(bei)(bei)宋淳化元年(nian)、遼(liao)(liao)(liao)統和(he)(he)八(ba)年(nian))被遼(liao)(liao)(liao)帝冊封為“夏國(guo)王”。與(yu)(yu)遼(liao)(liao)(liao)國(guo)新結成(cheng)(cheng)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)聯(lian)(lian)姻關系(xi),給西夏帶來(lai)(lai)了(le)無(wu)窮(qiong)無(wu)盡的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)麻(ma)煩。對(dui)黨項(xiang)(xiang)人來(lai)(lai)說(shuo),臣服遼(liao)(liao)(liao)朝(chao)從來(lai)(lai)也(ye)沒有妨礙過他們與(yu)(yu)宋朝(chao)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)交(jiao)易,但是(shi)隨著黨項(xiang)(xiang)與(yu)(yu)遼(liao)(liao)(liao)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)聯(lian)(lian)姻,在(zai)三方關系(xi)中不斷產(chan)生出層出不窮(qiong)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)猜疑(yi)和(he)(he)爭吵(chao)。而且,居住在(zai)遼(liao)(liao)(liao)朝(chao)邊(bian)界以(yi)內(nei)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)黨項(xiang)(xiang)部落(luo)也(ye)成(cheng)(cheng)了(le)西夏、遼(liao)(liao)(liao)兩國(guo)間多年(nian)摩擦(ca)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)根源(yuan)。
1004年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)(北宋(song)景(jing)(jing)德元年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)、遼統和二十(shi)二年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian))到1005年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)(北宋(song)景(jing)(jing)德二年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)、遼統和二十(shi)三(san)年(nian)(nian)(nian)(nian)),在與(yu)(yu)宋(song)朝(chao)締結(jie)了一個令(ling)人滿(man)意的(de)(de)(de)(de)和約之后,契丹可(ke)以從容考(kao)慮在與(yu)(yu)黨項人爭奪河西貿易的(de)(de)(de)(de)控制權和對(dui)回(hui)鶻附庸國的(de)(de)(de)(de)支(zhi)配(pei)權造成的(de)(de)(de)(de)威脅(xie)了。然(ran)而(er)對(dui)于(yu)維持(chi)各方勢(shi)力的(de)(de)(de)(de)平(ping)衡而(er)言,黨項與(yu)(yu)契丹名義(yi)上的(de)(de)(de)(de)聯姻(yin)關(guan)系仍然(ran)起著(zhu)不(bu)可(ke)或缺的(de)(de)(de)(de)作用。
軍事
早在(zai)985年(nian)(nian)(nian)(北(bei)宋雍熙二年(nian)(nian)(nian)、遼統(tong)和(he)(he)三(san)年(nian)(nian)(nian)),黨項人(ren)就認識到(dao)了(le)(le)西寧、蘭州(zhou)(zhou)、涼(liang)(liang)(liang)州(zhou)(zhou)三(san)角地帶(dai)的商業(ye)和(he)(he)戰略價值(zhi),所以李繼遷當(dang)時(shi)曾(ceng)發兵攻(gong)(gong)打過會州(zhou)(zhou)(位于蘭州(zhou)(zhou)東(dong)北(bei)方,黃河東(dong)岸)。黨項人(ren)對涼(liang)(liang)(liang)州(zhou)(zhou)的進(jin)攻(gong)(gong)開始于996年(nian)(nian)(nian)(北(bei)宋至道二年(nian)(nian)(nian)、遼統(tong)和(he)(he)十四(si)年(nian)(nian)(nian))或(huo)更早,靈州(zhou)(zhou)陷(xian)落之(zhi)后,他們更加強了(le)(le)對涼(liang)(liang)(liang)州(zhou)(zhou)的進(jin)攻(gong)(gong)。1003年(nian)(nian)(nian)(北(bei)宋咸平六年(nian)(nian)(nian)、遼統(tong)和(he)(he)二十一年(nian)(nian)(nian))末,李繼遷占領了(le)(le)涼(liang)(liang)(liang)州(zhou)(zhou),接受了(le)(le)已逃(tao)入城中的潘羅支的偽(wei)降,結果吐蕃人(ren)伏擊(ji)了(le)(le)李繼遷。
