Chapter 199: Landing in Liaodong, Pingtao Conspiracy
When Yan Pingtao went on a northern expedition from the Central Plains, he forcibly abducted the blacksmiths of Yidu Mansion and went north together, so at this time, the craftsmen in his hands could not only make armor, but also cast iron cannons.
Back then, when Chen Xian was arming apprentices for the first time in Yiyuan East Zhuangzi, in order to save costs, he once manufactured a batch of cloth face armor, which was later disposed of by Chen Xian as defective products, and several of them fell to the Bai family in West Zhuangzi.
When Bai Shijie was sorting out the information related to Chen Xian, he saw the description of this kind of armor, he was curious, and asked for the real thing, and after reading it, he felt that this kind of armor was simple and easy to obtain, so he was deeply impressed.
At this time, he saw that Yan Pingtao's momentum was prominent, and he also had a little idea of assisting the famous king, so he recruited a blacksmith tailor and created a few pieces of cloth armor to present to Wanyan Pingtao.
After seeing this kind of armor that is simple and easy to obtain, and is especially suitable for the climate of Liaodong, Wanyan Pingtao was immediately overjoyed, and immediately asked people to build a large number of armor and equip the newly recruited tribal soldiers under his command.
There are iron mines in Liaodong, and there are craftsmen under Wanyan Pingtao, mining iron ore and smelting steel, which is naturally not a problem.
Liaodong was not as short of horses as the Central Plains, and Wanyan Pingtao used the steel he smelted to exchange horses for the surrounding tribes, and soon formed a cavalry force of tens of thousands of people.
He asked the low-level officers who had been dug up from Yang Miaozhen to serve as instructors, and trained all the more than 10,000 tribal soldiers as all-round cavalry.
Almost all of these tribal soldiers can ride horses, everyone can shoot arrows, they have a good foundation, and it is much easier to train into all-round cavalry than Yang Miaozhen back then.
After two years of recuperation, Wanyan Pingtao actually established an all-round cavalry with almost everyone in armor!
At this time, Wanyan Pingtao's father suddenly fell ill and died, and the Jin court wanted to take the opportunity to recapture Tokyo, and ordered Wanyan Pingtao's younger brother to inherit his father's position, that is, the Liaodong Xuanfu envoy, wanting to provoke contradictions within Wanyan Pingtao's family.
This move of the Jin State completely angered Wanyan Pingtao, and he immediately announced that the Emperor of the Jin State who was far away in Kaifeng had lost his power and humiliated the country, and he was no longer worthy of being the emperor of the woman, and he proclaimed himself the emperor of the Jin State and boarded the plane in Tokyo.
After boarding the plane, Wanyan Pingtao killed his younger brother to sacrifice the flag and began to send troops to the east and west.
Relying on the just-established all-round cavalry and the flying sand cannon that can move on horseback, Wanyan Pingtao was invincible and quickly controlled Posu Road, Xianping Road and other places near Tokyo.
Just when Wanyan Pingtao was ready to continue northward in one go and take the Shangjing Huining Mansion, which was occupied by Puxian Wannu, who had already taken refuge with the ancients, the Mongols finally couldn't sit still......
It was at this time that Chen Xian landed in Suzhou.
Chen Xian was not in a hurry to enter Liaodong, and according to his plan, his next target should be the coastal areas of Hebei.
He planned to take advantage of the transportation advantages of the sea to establish a series of port strongholds along the Bohai Sea, and then use these port strongholds as a basis to build castle complexes and advance inland.
If according to the original historical script, Liaodong really has no notable forces, although two regimes were established before and after, but they were not strong, Chen Xian could enter Liaodong at any time.
But what Chen Xian never expected was that because of his butterfly wings, Wanyan Pingtao, who was fanned out of Liaodong, would be able to mix to this point, and he was about to unify Liaodong.
Once Wanyan Pingtao completely gained a foothold in the Northeast, at that time, he was going to land on the Liaodong Peninsula, and Wanyan Pingtao, who knew that he was powerful, would definitely resist with all his might.
That would greatly increase the difficulty of his landing in Liaodong, which was very important in Chen Xian's plan.
Therefore, Chen Xian chose this juncture when the Mongols finished conquering Yan Pingtao, and suddenly landed in Liaodong with all his might.
Wanyan Pingtao, who was pressed by the Mongol coalition army, would definitely not dare to go all out to block Chen Xian's landing at this time, otherwise he would be attacked by Chen Xian and the Mongols from the north and south, and even if his all-round cavalry had two brushes, it would never be possible to defeat the Mongol coalition army and Chen Xian's army at the same time.
Sure enough, when Chen Xian's fleet arrived at Dalian Bay in later generations, today's Suzhou Bay, with the support of naval guns, easily occupied Suzhou City, Wanyan Pingtao sent not a large army, but a messenger.
This messenger is also Chen Xian's old acquaintance, Bai Shijie.
Chen Xian, who led the army to conquer in person, met with Bai Shijie, and he told Bai Shijie that the reason why he came to Suzhou was to support his old friend Wanyan Pingtao, afraid that he would be defeated by the Mongols, and this time he brought a large number of arquebuses, flying sand cannons, high-quality armor, high-grade silk, porcelain, as long as Wanyan Pingtao returned the war horse, he would exchange as many as he wanted.
Of course, Bai Shijie knew that Chen Xian was talking nonsense, but he had no choice but to bring the news back to Wanyan Pingtao.
Wanyan Pingtao is also ruthless, he really sent a batch of horses to Chen Xian, and exchanged them for a batch of flying sand cannons, arquebuses, and high-quality armor at a high price.
Taking advantage of the fact that Chen Xian had just landed and his heels were not stable, Wanyan Pingtao took 20,000 well-trained tribal cavalry out of Liaoyang City, and took the initiative to find the Mongolian cavalry, Yelu Liuge, and Puxian Wannu tripartite alliance to fight.
He entrusted Liaoyang City to Bai Shijie and more than 30,000 Tianping Army infantry.
On the one hand, after several years of crusade in the east and west, the officers and soldiers of the Tianping Army have almost completely changed, all of them are Jurchens, Bohai people, and Goryeo people recruited by Wanyan Pingtao in Liaoyang, and the number has also increased a lot.
In addition to the changes in the source of soldiers, the weapons of the Tianping Army have also undergone great changes, the biggest change is that the musketeers who originally used three-eyed guns and muskets have now changed their weapons to arquebuses, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
After several years of exploration, the craftsmen under Wanyan Pingtao have long cracked the production process of arquebuses.
Wanyan Pingtao, who took the initiative to attack, took advantage of the distrust between Yeluliuge and Puxian Wannu to defeat Puxian Wannu first, and launched a fierce attack on Yeluliuge and the 3,000 Mongol coalition army before Puxian Wannu collected his troops.
At great cost, Wanyan Pingtao defeated the allied forces of Yeluliuge and thousands of Mongols.
After obtaining a phased victory, Wanyan Pingtao did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, he sent an envoy to ask to see the Mongolian thousand households, and expressed his willingness to be a vassal to the other party.
In order to show sincerity, Wanyan Pingtao is willing to give up the best quality chassis in Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, Shenzhou, Xianning Road and other Liaodong.
But he also said that in order to survive, he hoped to get the territory of Huining Mansion in Shangjing (present-day Harbin area), which was entrenched by Puxian Wannu.
After all, at this time, the main force of the Mongols was still on an expedition in Central Asia, although Mu Huali had more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry in his hands, but he had to pass through Shanxi and Hebei, and it was already the limit for him to transfer three thousand households to help Yelu Liuge and Puxian Wannu, since this was defeated, that is to say, before Genghis Khan returned from the western expedition, they had no way to take Yan Pingtao.
So, Puxian Wannu was betrayed in this way.
