Chapter 472: Rebellion
Yelu Chun is the former emperor of Northern Liao, and everyone knows it!
When the Jurchens rose, Yelu Yanxi was the emperor, but Yelu Yanxi was not the opponent of the Jurchens at all, and in just a few years, he lost all over Tokyo, Shangjing, and Zhongjing! Yelu Yanxi was cowardly and cowardly, and when the country was about to fall, Yelu Yanxi fled from Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures with all the harem concubines and all the princes, and came to the Jiashan area of Inner Mongolia! Jiashan was a primeval forest on the grassland of Inner Mongolia at that time, with a huge area, even the Khitan people could not find Yelu Yanxi!
The country cannot be without a king for a day, and at that time, Yeluchun was the fourth son of the previous generation of Liao Emperor Liao Xingzong, first as the king of Jin, and then as the king of Qin, and at that time he was the king of Yan! Among the royal family of the Liao Kingdom, there is no one who can be compared to Ye Luchun! In addition, Ye Luchun was the generalissimo of the Liao State at that time, so he was promoted as the emperor of the Liao State by all the ministers of the Liao court in the sixteen states of Yanyun!
During the reign of Yeluchun, the Song Dynasty united with Jin to destroy Liao, and more than 100,000 people attacked Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, but although the Liao State was already declining and was about to perish, it was still far better than the Great Song Dynasty at that time! Ye Luchun only led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to destroy the family army! After that, Tong Guan, Liu Yanqing and others continued to attack the sixteen states of Yanyun, and they were also defeated by Yeluchun!
Although Yeluchun did not sit in the position of the emperor of Liao for long and died early, he was regarded as the savior of Liao by the Khitans of the world! When Yelu Yanxi fled to Jiashan, he turned the tide and was a hero in the hearts of the Khitan people!
Historically, Yelu Yanxi did not die until decades later, and he was the orthodox emperor of Liao, and Yelu Chun was known as the Emperor of Northern Liao! But no matter what, Ye Luchun's background and status are extremely noble, even if Ye Luchun is not regarded as the orthodox emperor of Liao, he is also the king of Yan and the generalissimo of soldiers and horses of Liao! Yeluhong now claims to be Yeluchun's eldest son, so you can imagine how shocked these Khitans in front of him were!
"You...... It turned out to be the eldest son of the Emperor? Doesn't that mean that you are the crown prince of the Emperor of Heaven? The elegant Khitan said in a trembling voice.
Yeluchun's era name at that time was "Tianci", so these Khitans called it "Tianci Emperor".
"Why should I deceive you mud legs!" A disdainful sneer appeared on Yeluhong's face.
He stretched out his hand and walked towards his arms, and after a while, he took out a seal and said, "This is the seal of the prince, you all take a look!" ”
This prince's seal is made of extremely delicate jade, and some of the more than a dozen Khitan people recognize the Khitan characters on it, which is the four characters of "Prince's Seal"! They don't know if it's true or not, but it doesn't look like it's fake!
"This is a picture of my father and me!" Yeluhong beckoned, and a Song soldier behind him took a portrait, and Yeluhong placed it in front of them.
On the portrait, the person in the middle is wearing a dragon robe, which is naturally the Emperor of Northern Liao at that time, Ye Luchun! Ye Lu Hong was much younger than at that time, standing next to Ye Lu Chun, with a smile on his face!
"There are other portraits here, all of which were made by the palace painter when I was with my late father that day!" Yeluhong said coldly.
Later, Song soldiers sent the portraits up, and kept unfolding them for the dozen Khitans to see.
"Now there must be old ministers of Liaodong in Liaodong, if they see me, they will definitely be able to recognize my identity! On that day, his father died early, the country was about to perish, and Concubine Xiao De took control of the throne! Not long after that, the Jurchens invaded again, and my Daliao perished! I have been hiding in Yanyun all these years, and I didn't come out until the Jurchens were defeated by the Great Song Dynasty! This time, I came to Liaodong to rescue the people of Liaodong! Yeluhong looked at the dozen Khitans in front of him with disdainful eyes and said.
"The grass people are waiting to see His Royal Highness the Prince!" At this moment, the elegant Khitan had already knelt down for the first time and said in an unusually respectful voice.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The young man in his twenties, who looked like a bamboo pole, also knelt down.
The rest of the Khitans also knelt down one after another, only the Khitan leader in his forties was still stunned, but when he saw that the people around him had already knelt, he had no choice but to kneel.
"Let's all be flat! But now I am no longer the crown prince, I am the Liao king of the Great Song Dynasty! Our Liao country has come to an end and no longer exists! However, the fate of our Khitan people has not come to an end, and we will continue to live on this land forever! Emperor Xuanwu of the Great Song Dynasty now loves the people like a son, whether it is a Han or a Khitan under the rule of the emperor, everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, the government will not oppress the people, on the contrary, the government will help the people! Under the rule of Emperor Xuanwu, I, the Khitan people, have never been so happy! However, in the north of Yanyun, my Khitan people are worse than death, I came all the way, there are lives everywhere, and the people are not happy! Therefore, I was ordered by Emperor Xuanwu to come to rescue hundreds of Khitan people! Yeluhong said.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how to save the people?" The elegant Khitan immediately asked.
"Naturally, it's a rebellion! The Jurchens bullied us and killed countless of our clansmen, and now that the Jurchens are also dying and about to perish, now is a good time for us to revolt! Yeluhong said.
"However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Yelu Dashi sent someone to inform us that we should unite with the Jurchens, and only in this way can we restore the country!" The Khitan leader in his forties said.
"Fart! The Jurchens destroyed my Da Liao and killed hundreds of my Da Liao people, they are the life and death enemies of my Da Liao, and under such circumstances, he still wants us to unite with the Jurchens? Is he crazy? If he has the slightest love for his people in his heart, he will never say such a thing! Jeruhom said "angrily."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right! We don't know what Lord Yelu Dashi thinks, why did he let us unite with the Jurchens? We can't live! It is estimated that countless clansmen will starve to death this autumn, so will they still unite with the Jurchens in such a situation? Never! The elegant Khitan people immediately said.
"Not bad! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right! Can't unite with the Jurchens! ”
"In the past, there was a military order from Lord Yelu Dashi, and we had to obey it, but now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, and His Royal Highness the Prince's status is far more noble than Yelu Dashi, so we naturally listen to His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, we listen to you!"
The rest of the Khitans said one after another, only the Khitan leader in his forties had a hesitant expression on his face.
"I am no longer His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but His Royal Highness the King of Liao of the Great Song Dynasty! The reason why I came to Liaodong is that I can't let go of the people, and second, because I just had a dream a few days ago! Yeluhong said.
"I don't know what kind of dream it is?" The Wenya Khitan hurriedly said.
"I dreamed of my father! My father told me that the Liao Kingdom was destroyed by the Jurchens, and that was when the fortunes of the country really came to an end! Emperor Xuanwu defeated the Jurchens, drove away the Jurchens of Yanyun, and rescued our Khitans from the dire situation, he is the benefactor of our Khitans, and from now on he is the common emperor of the Han and our Khitans! My father also asked me to come to Liaodong in a dream, and he said that only here can I truly save the Khitan people! Yeluhong said.
The dozen or so Khitans stood there dumbfounded!
In this era, we pay attention to the saying of "dreaming", and the ancients believed in dreams! Now since Yeluhong said that it was the former Northern Liao Emperor Yelu Chuntuo's dream, it is naturally true!
"Did the Emperor of Heaven really say that?" The Khitan leader still has some unbelief.
"How can I make a false statement about my father?" Yeluhong snorted coldly.
"Your Highness, no matter what, we will follow you!" After the elegant Khitan people saw Yeluhong, they immediately showed their loyalty again as if they had found a spiritual belief.
"Yes, Your Highness, we will follow you!" Another Khitan spoke.
The rest of the Khitans also expressed their desire to follow Yeluhong.
"Your Highness, we will follow you." The Khitan leader who was more than forty years old saw that everyone was expressing their loyalty at this moment, and he had no choice but to speak.
"Excellent! From today on, I will lead all the Khitan people in Liaodong to rise up! We don't have food to eat, but the Jurchens still have countless military rations, let's go and rob them, take them! We've lost the city, but we can take it back, take it back! The Jurchens are our feud, and we will bury the Jurchens completely! Yeluhong said.
"But, Your Highness, the Jurchens are really strong!" The Khitan leader couldn't help but speak at this moment.
"The Jurchen is strong? Their 200,000 troops were wiped out by His Majesty Xuanwu! The Jurchens are barbarians, the population is sparse, and now there are only more than 200,000 Jurchen warriors left! But how many Khitans are there? There are two or three million Khitans north of Yanyun alone, and if we add the Han and Xi people here, our number will exceed four million! Four million, if everyone rises up against the Jurchens, how can the Jurchens be our opponents? What's more, as long as there is chaos in the north, Emperor Xuanwu will immediately lead a million-strong army north, and at that time it will be the end of the Jurchens! Yeluhong said coldly.
The Khitan leader still felt unconvinced, but he didn't dare to debate more, so he just nodded lightly at the moment.
"Very good, I heard that you have organized rebels against the Jurchens before, and you still have many subordinates in various places, and you let these subordinates continue to lead the people to rebel! As the former prince of the Liao State and now the Liao King of the Great Song Dynasty, I serve as the commander of the four million Liao, Han and Xi Yi armies in the north, and in addition, the one next to me is General Wang Gui! When General Wang Gui was in the Central Plains, he had defeated the Jurchens many times, and his military achievements were impressive, and from today on, he was the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Righteous Army! A few of you, Yelufeng, Xiao Jingye, and Bali, you must not only obey the orders of this king, but also obey the orders of General Wang Gui! Jeluhom said again.
Song Jun had already investigated the names of these leaders of the rebel army before coming, the leader in his forties was called Yelufeng, who was quite famous in Zhenhai Mansion and even the entire Liaodong Peninsula, and the elegant Khitan was called Xiao Jingye, as for the Khitan who was in his twenties like a bamboo pole, he had no surname, and was called Bali! The reason why they were appointed as generals was precisely to use their influence and organization in Zhenhai Mansion and the Liaodong Peninsula!
"Subordinates obey orders!" Xiao Jingye, a gentle Khitan man, was overjoyed at the moment! He had long wanted to rebel again, but Yelufeng had always disagreed, and now that Yeluhong was here, they could finally rebel again!
Regarding Ye Luhong's identity, Xiao Jingye didn't have much doubt in his heart! Because the arrogant temperament of the other party can't be pretended at all, even Yelufeng, who has been the leader for many years, doesn't have this kind of temperament on Yeluhong! In addition, after seeing the prince's seal and other things just now, he also felt that there would be no mistake! The point is that he didn't want to doubt it at the beginning of his freshman year! In his heart, he was hoping that a noble man from the Liao Kingdom would come here and lead the Khitans to rebel against the Jurchens!
Yelu Feng was depressed at the moment, and he felt more and more that this matter was strange! Contrary to Xiao Jingye's thoughts, he even doubted Yeluhong's identity, but the rest of the people were convinced, and he could only choose to obey.
"Very well, you organize all the people of this town first! Let's start our rebellion in this town! Yeluhong said.
