Chapter 126
Yelu Jing was still not satisfied with this progress, and his goal was 600,000.
The Liao court has been divided into three factions, and the strongest faction is naturally Yelujing's faction, insisting on a decisive battle with the Ming State, with the goal of recovering Zhongjing and Tokyo. The second is the peace faction headed by Yelu Tira and Yelu Shuogu, who ruled by rowing the river to protect all ethnic groups and the Ming State according to the actual control of the Zhanì Dihuang River. There is also a faction that rides the wall, as long as whoever has the upper hand in the court, they will fall to whom, they have only one goal, follow the trend, and finally be able to stand left and right.
Yelu Jing did not expect that his uncle, his savior, and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses appointed by him would stand on his opposite side, not only did not support him in a decisive battle with the Ming State, but also openly took the lead in calling on the courtiers of the Liao State to agree to the peace negotiation.
Yelu Jing regretted giving the generalissimo of Jerutira a heavy responsibility, but unfortunately now Yelutira has gathered enough strength to compete with him, among which the iron cavalry commander Jeruzara is the most.
Now in addition to quarrels and quarrels in the daily court meeting, Yelujing has lost his patience, he is going to do it, and he will kill people.
Yelu Jing secretly ordered the palace tent army to move outside the palace tent, preparing to eliminate the dissent in the court. The primary target was naturally Jerodira and Jerushuku.
But Yelu Tira and Yelu Shuogu are not good people, since they have made a gesture of open confrontation with Yelu Jing, how can they not guard against Yelu Jing's assassins.
Jerusara had already ordered Jeruzara, who was stationed outside the capital, to be on guard at any time, and once there was a change in the palace, he would lead his army into the city to control the situation.
On this day, the quarrel that I was accustomed to happened again. Yelu Jing brushed off the folds on the dragon case, and thus, the first coup d'état of the Liao court began.
Yelu Jing's palace tent army quickly surrounded the palace tent from all sides. Then under the stunned gaze of the courtiers, he captured Yelutira and Yelu Shuogu in one fell swoop.
Yelu Jing, who was known for his tyranny and thirst for killing, miscalculated, although he controlled the situation in the palace tent for a while, but before he could give the order to kill Yelu Tira and Yelu Shuogu, the guards rushed to the tent to report, and Jelu Zara's iron cavalry had rushed into the capital and surrounded the palace. Yelujing's extremely prestigious leather chamber army was like a papier-mâché tiger in front of the iron cavalry. Break with a single stab.
In fact, it is not surprising that the 10,000 troops of the Tenth Army of Bian Ho and the Eighth Army of Liu Renzhen, which were equipped with firearms, were also powerless in the face of the 30,000 iron cavalry, and the whole army was annihilated.
In this world. The iron cavalry is invulnerable, and has a certain speed, and is undoubtedly the god of war on the battlefield. The only way to deal with this monster is with firearms. A powerful firearm. Light firearms like grenades do not have absolute lethality to them, and in the case of firearms are not popular, they can only take the way of fighting, and fighting takes time, terrain, and the most important thing is to see whether the other party is willing to play with you.
It has been decades since Shangjing Lidu, and it has long been a smooth avenue, and there is no barrier that can stop the iron cavalry from exerting its might.
So, the news reported by the guards. caused an uproar in the palace tent.
Almost all of them advised Yelu Jing to stop, if he took down Yelu Tira and Yelu Shuogu as before. Even if they are killed directly, these courtiers may not even say a single one, at most they will slander Yelu Jing in their hearts and scold the butcher a few times to relieve their hatred.
But now it's different, the iron cavalry disobeyed the ban and entered the city, the enemy is current, if there is an internal struggle in the Liao court, then the Liao country is probably really going to be finished.
Jeruzin was brutal but not stupid, he was surprised when Jeruzarat stood with Jeruthira and Jerushuku, and even took the charge of plotting rebellion in order for these two to abandon the relationship between his uncle and nephew, and openly led his troops to break into the forbidden palace.
But the current situation couldn't help but make him think slowly, and Yelu Jing could only endure his unwillingness and ordered the release of Yelu Tira and Yelu Shuogu.
But Yelu Jing still accused the two of them not to leave, and his condition was that Yelu Tira must resign from the official position of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.
Yelu Jing was bent on a decisive battle with the Ming Kingdom, but the generalissimo he appointed advocated peace, which is simply a joke.
After negotiation between the two sides in the palace tent, in the end, Yelutira made concessions, took the initiative to resign from the post of generalissimo of soldiers and horses, promised not to set foot in the court of Liao, and left Shangjing on the same day; Yelu Jing promised to let Yelu Tira and Yelu Shuogu leave Shangjing and return to the Wugu Enemy Martyrs Division, and the Eight Divisions of the Wugu Enemy Martyrs would not recruit new strong men except for the soldiers who had already been recruited.
At the same time, Yelu Jing promised that as long as Jelu Sara resigned from all official positions and only retained the position of commander of the iron cavalry, he could leave Shangjing with Yelu Tira and Yelu Shuogu, and lead the iron cavalry north to the Wugu enemy army to garrison, and he would not be held accountable for leading his troops to storm the forbidden palace.
In this way, the first coup d'état in Liao began hastily and ended hastily. But its influence has penetrated into the hearts of the main constituent subjects of the Liao State, the leaders of various tribes, and it turns out that Yelujing is not sacrosanct.
Before leaving, Jelutira, Jerushugu, and Jeruzara left with the iron cavalry, and before leaving, Jelutira secretly sent a messenger to the south to report what had happened in Shangjing to Baili Wuji.
Baili Wuji didn't expect Yelu Jing to come out like this, which disrupted Baili Wuji's plan, Baili Wuji originally wanted to discuss peace with Liao After the truce, he would concentrate on solving the obstruction, cut off one of Liao's arms, and then go back to clean up Liao. And now, the 360,000 troops gathered in Shangjing are enough to destroy all the ideas of Baili Wuji, and besides, Yelujing still continues to recruit troops.
Baili Wuji has always left room for peace talks for the Liao State, and after annihilating the Liao army that fled from Dadingfu, he did not occupy Yikun and Longhua Prefectures, but now, the war will continue, and even more tragic, so it is necessary to bring the two states under control, so as to rely on the terrain of the Huanghe River to block the Liao army that wants to go south.
Baili Wuji immediately ordered Baili Yi's new army to launch an attack on Yikun and Longhua Prefectures, which were not many garrisons, and some were the remnants of the soldiers who fled from Dading Mansion and the people of the Liao tribe.
With the combat strength of 100,000 new troops, these two states were easily occupied.
After that, Baili Wuji ordered 100,000 new troops to build fortifications and forts along the Huang River on the front line of Yikun and Longhua Prefecture; ordered Yanyun Chen Yanzheng to lead his troops to transport artillery, ordnance and materials from Qianzhou to the north, and ordered 20,000 musketeers from Jinzhou to be transferred to the south bank of the Huang River for defense, enriching the strength of Yikun and Longhua Prefecture; At the same time, the Baili Kang Department of Liaoyang Prefecture was ordered to launch an attack on Shen and Tong Prefectures.
Baili Wuji issued an order to Jinling Mansion, ordering Xu Shiming to supply a large amount of ammunition and food to Jinzhou by Peng Xiao's fleet. He also sent a letter to Chai Rong, asking Zhou to organize more than 100,000 people to go north to Yanyun to assemble in Jinzhou. (To be continued......)
