In the fifth year of Liao Tianqing (1115), on the basis of the initial victory of the Jurchen people's anti-Liao struggle, he and Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin and others persuaded Wanyan Aguda to become the emperor and establish the Jin Dynasty.

In the fifth year of Jin Tianfu (1121), he was edicted to know the national government. All military and judicial cases were handled by Wu Qimai, and Wu Qimai was held by the council, so that Jin Taizu had no worries when he conquered Liao.

In the seventh year of Tianfu (1123), Jin Taizu died of illness, and in September, Wu begged to buy the throne, which was for Jin Taizong and changed to Yuan Tianhui. After Yan Sheng ascended the throne, his younger brother Wan Yan Gao was the best teacher, and the eldest son of Jin Taizu was the prime minister of the country, and Yan Zonghan and Yan Zongwang were the prime ministers.

In the third year of Tianhui (1125), Emperor Tianzuo of Liao led his troops to chase after Wanyan Lou Room on the way to escape, and he was crowned as the king of the seaside, and Liao died. The Liao Dynasty died, and the Western Xia declared himself a vassal to Jin. Kim no longer has worries in the west and northwest. At the same time, the use of force and surrender alternately conquered the remnants of the Xi and Liao dynasties, and the occupied areas were increasingly consolidated. Then he stepped up preparations for the use of troops against the Song Dynasty.

In October of the same year, he appointed Chen Ban Bo Ji Liegao and the marshal of the capital, and led the army to the south to attack the Song Dynasty by two routes. The western route was led by Zong Han, the left deputy marshal, and attacked Taiyuan from Yunzhong (now Datong, Shanxi); The eastern route was led by the right deputy marshal Zong Wang, from Pingzhou (now Lulong, Hebei), attacking Yanshan Mansion (now Beijing), Guo Yaoshi, who defended Yanshan Mansion in the Northern Song Dynasty, surrendered, and in the first month of the spring of the fourth year, Guo Yaoshi led the Jin army to drive across the Yellow River, and then the Zhulu Army besieged Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan). At this time, Zhao Jichuan of Song Huizong was located in his son Zhao Huan of Qinzong, and hurriedly fled south.

After Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong ascended the throne, the Jin soldiers defeated the soldiers of King Qin of Song, and Zhao Huan was afraid and cut the land of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian and increased the coins, and began to seek the retreat of the Jin army. However, the war was still going on in various places, Wanyan Zongwang defeated the Song general Yao Pingzhong in Mengyang, Wanyan Zonghan captured Longde Mansion, Wanyan Huonu beheading the seed division in Jingcheng, and the Song army lost everywhere. In August, the left deputy marshal of Jin Wanyan Zonghan and the right deputy marshal Zongwang again led the army to attack the Song Dynasty. In September, Zong Han captured Taiyuan, and Zong Wang occupied Jingcheng and Zhending. In November, Zongwang crossed the Yellow River and besieged Bianjing. In leap November, after Yan Zonghan arrived in Bian, he was in the capital of Bianjing in a few days.

After Yan Zonghan sent an envoy into the city, asking the second emperor to negotiate peace and negotiate land cession in front of the army, Zhao Huan was forced to go to Qingcheng (Kaifeng, Henan) Jin Ying, Jin people asked for 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million silver collars, 20 million silks, and 7,000 horses, all of which were attributed to gold. The Song Dynasty also cut the land of Lianghe (north of the Yellow River) to Jin, and sent envoys to the prefectures and counties of Lianghe to surrender to Kaicheng. In February of the fifth year of Tianhui, Jin Taizong edicted the second emperor of the Song Dynasty to be a concubine. In March, Zhang Bangchang, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, was appointed as the emperor of Chu. When the Jin army retreated, the two emperors of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and the royal family returned to the north, and the Northern Song Dynasty died. Since then, the war against the Southern Song Dynasty has continued for many years.

In the winter of the fifth year of Tianhui (1127), Wanyan Zonghan asked the generals to conquer Henan, and the right deputy marshal Wanyan Zongfu led the people to conquer Shandong. At the same time, Taizong issued an edict to pursue Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong in Yangzhou.

In the sixth year of Tianhui (1128), Wan Yan Zonghan sent Wan Yan Lou to capture Shaanxi. In February, the Jin army reached Yangzhou, and Song Gaozong crossed the Yangtze River in a hurry, ran to Guazhou, and fled to Jiankang (now Nanjing) in May. In leap August, the Jin soldiers gradually approached, and Song Gaozong went to Zhenjiang and Hangzhou in October. In November, Wanyan Zongbi led his troops across the Yangtze River and invaded Jiankang Mansion. Song Gaozong went to Hangzhou, Yuezhou, and Mingzhou from Jiankang. In the pursuit of the Jin army, Song Gaozong looked at the wind and ran to the sea. Wanyan Zongbi went into the sea to chase 300 miles, but he didn't have time to return. Soon, Song regained Jiankang.

In March of the eighth year of Tianhui (1130), Wanyan Zongbi and Song Han Shizhong fought in Zhenjiang, which was unfavorable and could not cross the river. After Yan Zongbi led the army to Jiankang, Han Shizhong fought with him again, the Jin people rode the wind and set fire, and Han Shizhong was defeated. Wanyan Zongbi had to cross the river and Tunliuhe County. Subsequently, Jin moved the main battlefield to Shaanxi. Wanyan Zongfu and others defeated the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Zhang Jun in Fuping. Immediately occupied the Shaanxi Fifth Road.

In the ninth year of Tianhui (1131), Wanyan Zongbi attacked Monk Yuan (now southwest of Baoji), and was defeated by the famous generals Wu Yu and Wu Lan of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was the largest defeat of the Jin side in the Song-Jin War.

In the eleventh year of Tianhui (1133), Zong Bi entered the army again and finally took the monk Yuan. attacked the Immortal Pass again, but was defeated by Wu Jue. From then on, I didn't dare to try again. Wan Yan Sheng sent Wan Yan Zongfu and Wan Yan Changquan left and right deputy marshals to cross the Huai River with the puppet Qi troops, the Southern Song Dynasty was terrified, at this time Taizong was seriously ill, and the Jin soldiers were returned.

The southward movement and killing and plundering of the Jin army caused fierce resistance from the people of the Central Plains, and the rebel armies such as Wumashan and Bazi Army surged. In response, the Jurchen rulers, led by Wan Yan Sheng, constantly adjusted their policies and suppressed many rebel armies.

During the reign of Jin Taizong, various rules and regulations of the Jin Dynasty were perfected. In accordance with the old system of the Liao and Song dynasties, the Bo Ji Lie system was reformed and made it a central organ of the central military and political government. For the Yanyun area, which originally belonged to the Liao Dynasty, the Han official system was implemented, and the Xingtai Shangshu Province was established. For the former Northern Song Dynasty, the policy of governing the Han people with Han people was adopted, and two local regimes of Chu and Qi, such as Zhang Bangchang and Liu Yu, were successively established to rule.

In the military, it also imitated the Han official system, set up the marshal's office, appointed the marshal of the capital, the left and right deputy marshals, the capital supervisors, etc., to unify the army and fight. Economically, he established a tax system, set up a bull head tax, and moved a large number of Jurchens to Han land; The captured Han and Khitan were moved to the Jurchen region. We should advise the crops to be harvested and to be lightly forced to do so in order to restore agricultural production. It was ordered to prohibit the private servitude of the people by the hundred officials and clans, and to prohibit the purchase of poor people as slaves. He also actively developed Jurchen culture, established Jurchen character studies, and ordered Wanyan Yale to go to Beijing to teach Jurchen characters. The imperial examination system was implemented, and Han Chinese were hired as officials. The establishment of various rules and regulations, the rule of the Ming Dynasty, laid the foundation of the Jin Dynasty.

In the winter of the thirteenth year of Tianhui, Wan Yansheng died of illness in Shangjing at the age of 61 and reigned for thirteen years. Before his death, he wanted to be his son, but after being opposed by the clans and ministers, he had no choice but to take the eldest grandson of Jin Taizu, Liang Wang Wanyan and Ren Ban Bo Jilie, as the heir, and still led the position of marshal of the capital. After his death, the temple was called Taizong, and the name was Emperor Wenlie, and the Jin Emperor reigned for five years. Buried in Gongling (original name and mausoleum).

Wan Yan Gao is the fifth son of Jin Shizu Wan Yan Impeachment Libo, and the half-brother of Jin Taizu Wan Yan Aguta.

In the first year of the resumption of the country (1115), Wan Yan Sheng was appointed to know the Ban Bo Ji Lie, and Wan Yan Gao was appointed to be the Guo Zhi Hao Bo Ji Lie.

In the first year of Tianfu (1117), Wan Yan Gao led an army of 10,000 people to attack Taizhou and occupy Jinshan County. The four tribes of Nugu, the spleen chamber and the Bohai people all came to surrender, so they conquered Taizhou. The grain stored in the city was transferred to Ullinye, where the tribes who had come to surrender first were relieved and moved to the interior.

In the fifth year of Tianfu (1121), Wanyan Gao Ren Kulubo was extremely fierce, and he commanded all the armies inside and outside the city to attack Zhongjing, that is, Beijing. Wanyan Pujianu, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zonggan, and Wanyan Zongpan were deputies, and Wanyan Zongjun was appointed to Hezha Meng'an, and they were all given gold medals, and Yelu Yujian was the guide.

Wanyan Agu wrote an edict and said: "The Liao State is politically chaotic and abandoned by people and gods. Now we want to unify China and foreign countries, so I order you to lead a large army to go to the crusade. You should use your troops carefully, choose good strategies, give rewards and punishments, and provide sufficient food and wages. Do not disturb the subjugated people, and do not condone the looting of your subordinates. When you see the situation, you can enter the army, and do not delay the military plane. In case of trouble, you have the right to make decisions, and there is no need to be troublesome. He also issued an edict saying: "If Zhongjing is conquered, the seized books and literature of Lile will be sent to the palace one after another." ”

At this time, the Liao garrison in Zhongjing, when they learned that the Jin army was coming, burned grain and grass to evacuate the residents. Xi Wang Xiamo wanted to see that the Jin army was few, and if the enemy could not be defeated, he would retreat to Shanxi. Wan Yan Gao knew that the Liao people did not have the will to fight, so he abandoned the military utensils and attacked with lightly armed soldiers.

In the first month of the sixth year of Tianfu (1122), the Jin army conquered the three cities of Gao, En, and Hui, and marched to Zhongjing. The Liao army was defeated without a fight, so it occupied Zhongjing. 1,200 horses, 500 cattle, 170 camels, 47,000 sheep, and 350 chariots were seized. Then they assigned soldiers to garrison key places. After the army was stationed in Zhongjing, Wan Yan Gao sent an envoy to deliver good news and present the prisoners.

Wanyan Agu laid an edict and said: "I appreciate you for commanding the troops outside, guarding your duties, capturing the cities, and pacifying the people." The dispatch of soldiers to recruit the tribes in front of the mountain has been planned. If you can't go behind the mountain, you can cultivate the fields and graze your herds, and wait for the autumn to raise troops, and then go into depth to deliberate, and the situation will permit. If you want to increase the number of troops, report the number. Don't let a victory in a battle make you slack. Properly appease those who surrender and surrender, and read the edict to the soldiers, so that they may understand my intentions. ”

Wanyan Huandu's army walked south of Zhongjing and encountered more than 30 cavalrymen, who lied: "Please let us come here tomorrow morning and surrender." Gao believed their words and sent Wendy Hind Ali, Naheblun, Pucha Brah, and Zhujia Bacha to meet them. Xi Wang Xiamo's army surrounded Wendy and Ali and the others. These men stood on the hillside, abandoned their horses, and all fought to the death, defeated the army of Kasumi, and pursued them until dark. In this battle, Nahe Duen made the most meritorious contributions.

Wanyan Zonghan subdued Bei'anzhou, Wanyan Xiyin captured Xi Nilie, the guard of Liao, and said that Emperor Liao Tianzuo was hunting in Mandarin Duck Luo, and he could attack and capture. Wan Yan Zonghan wrote a letter to Wan Yan Gao, asking for the army. He sent someone again, saying, "Once the opportunity is lost, things will be difficult." "Wan Yan Gao's idea has not been decided yet. Wanyan Zonggan persuaded Gao that he should follow Zong Han's strategy, and Wanyan Gao agreed to meet with Zong Han in Xiwangling.

After meeting, they began to agree on the plan, Wanyan Gao set off from Qingling, and Wanyan Zonghan set off from Huangling, and agreed to meet the army in Yangchengluo. At this time, Emperor Tianzuo was in Caoluo, and Wanyan Gao sent Zonghan and Wanyan Zonggan to lead 6,000 elite soldiers to attack. Emperor Tianzuo fled westward, and his capital brother Ma rushed to the pound. Wanyan Zonghan sent Wanyan Tart Lazy to lead a thousand troops to attack him. Wan Yan tart lazily asked Wan Yan Gao for more troops, and then seized the Liao State Privy Envoy Lidi father and son.

After Xijing surrendered, he rebelled, and Wanyan Gao sent people to surrender, but Xijing did not obey, so Gao raised troops to attack. Staying behind, Xiao Cha ran out of the city and surrendered. In April, Xijing was captured again. Wan Yan Gao led a large army to Baishuiluo, and assigned the generals to surrender to pacify the prefectures and counties and tribes that had not surrendered. At this time, the king of the Qin and Jin dynasties of Liao, Yelu Li, established himself as emperor in Yanjing. Although the cities of Shanxi surrendered, the people's hearts were not stable.

Gao sent Zongwang to play the military situation, and thus asked Wanyan Aguta to come to the army.

Yelutan surrendered to the southwest and his tribes, and all the places west to the border of Western Xia were surrendered, and Yelu Buddha also surrendered to Yelutan. There were 4,000 Han troops in the two counties of Jinsu and Xiping who defected, and Yelutan, Asha Wuye, and Tart Buye simply sorted out the newly surrendered middle-aged men and attacked them in the dark of night. The next morning, they fought on the river and defeated the Han army, and the Han army threw down their weapons and surrendered to capture.

Yelu Jianli wrote a letter to Gao asking for peace, and Wan Yan Gao replied, reprimanding him for proclaiming himself emperor without first paying tribute to the country, and if he could surrender himself, he would be given the position of staying in Yanjing. Jerugari also replied, to the effect that "when he ascended the throne before, it was when the two countries were at war with each other. King Xi and the civil and military officials are united in their support, where do I have time to ask the court for my life? Now that the armies have been assembled, I cannot sit back any longer if I want to send troops. In the past, my ancestors did not harm the people of Dajin, and the grace given by the title made the nation stronger and stronger. What is the moral meaning of forgetting these kindnesses now, and cutting off my family's lineage? If you are taken care of, then I am grateful for your kindness, and there is no end to it. ”

Wan Yan Gao wrote back and said: "Your Excellency has always been a marshal, commanding all armies, and the responsibility is not insignificant, but there is no merit. Isn't it difficult for you to defend a city against the national army? If the man whom you have appointed could not die for the kingdom before, who will now be appointed by your Excellency? Besides, if the Lord is humiliated and his subordinates will die, if he wants to succeed by this, this kind of plan is not complete. The shogunate obeyed the emperor's edict, and those who returned were awarded officials, and those who rebelled were defeated. If you are obsessed and refuse to obey, let it be done after you have been destroyed.

Yelu sent an envoy to Wanyan Aguta to ask for his life, and Wanyan Aguda gave him an edict saying: "You are a relative of the Liao State, and your position is a general, but you cannot live and die with the country, and you secretly defend the lonely city, pretending to be a big one, if you refuse to surrender, you will regret it." ”

In June, Wanyan Aguta sent troops from the Beijing division and issued an edict to the capital: "You want me to go out in person, and I have set off on the morning of the first day of this month." Where is Lord Liao now, and what strategy can he win? All of them were reported. "Wan Yan Gao sent a horse monk to greet Wan Yan Agu in the Tart Lu River.

Wanyan Hulu and Wanyan Lou defeated the Western Xia general Li Liangfu, and Wanyan Gao sent Wanyan Xiyin and others to report the victory, and requested that the tribes of the Southwest Recruitment Division be relocated to the interior. Xi Yin and others went to see the emperor in the southwest of Daluo, and the emperor rewarded them. The emperor came to Mandarin Duck Luo, and Gao went to meet him. The emperor pursued the Liao lord to Huili Yichuan, went south to attack Yanjing, came to Fengshengzhou, and issued an edict saying: "From now on, all litigation documents will be handed over to Du Tonggao for decision." If there is a big problem, it should be clarified immediately. "Wanyan Agu pacified Yanjing, returned to Mandarin Duck Luo, appointed Wanyan Zonghan as the capital, and Wanyan Gao followed Wanyan Aguda back to Beijing.

Wan Yan Sheng ascended the throne, Wan Yan Gao was extremely proficient in Ban Bo, and governed the country together with Wan Yan Zonggan.

In the third year of Tianhui (1125), the Jin Dynasty attacked the Northern Song Dynasty, and Wanyan Gao served as the marshal of the capital and lived in Beijing. Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang went their separate ways to march into the army.

In the fourth year of Tianhui (1126), the Jin Dynasty conquered the Song State again, captured the Northern Song Dynasty Hui and the Qin Emperor and returned to the army.

In the eighth year of Tianhui (1130), Wan Yan Gao died.
