Chapter 137
The leaders of the Jurchen tribes secretly connected and vowed to destroy the Liao State, but the disparity in strength was too great after all, and the combined population of the Jurchen tribes in the north and south did not exceed 200,000, how could it be compared with the Liao State with a population of nearly 10 million. Therefore, you can only bury the hatred in your heart and wait for the opportunity.
Yelu Jing's decree to recruit 30,000 soldiers of the Tatar tribe to form the Bohai Navy gave the Jurchens a chance, and they had their own army, although it was not much, but 30,000 people was already an astronomical number for the Jurchens, after all, the Jurchens with a population of less than 200,000 could not form this army by themselves, and even if they were formed, they could not guarantee the food needed by the army.
At this time, the Bohai Navy went south to attack Li Jianxun's troops who invaded from Goryeo at the behest of the Liao Imperial Court, and the Bohai Navy did not dare to disobey, so they could only go south, but they delayed the trip under the pretext that the road was not smooth, they did not want to fight for the Khitans, and they did not dare to disobey, so they could only use this negative way to avoid the loss of the Bohai Navy as much as possible. So much so that Li Jianxun waited for nearly two months, until he went north to mix with the south bank of the Tongjiang River, and then he faced the Bohai Navy across the bank.
Li Jianxun's task is to defend rather than attack, and besides, from Luzhou to this place, subduing the Hui Babu and incorporating hundreds of miles of territory into the bag, it is already an immortal achievement, Li Jianxun has little appetite, he feels that as long as he holds the mixed river, he will be finished. And the Bohai Navy was only forced to go south under the pressure of the Liao Imperial Court, and did not want to really fight to the death with Li Jianxun, as long as Li Jianxun's troops did not take the initiative to cross the river to attack, they would naturally be happy.
As a result, the two armies looked at each other "intimately" on both sides of the river, and for a long time, the soldiers of the two armies sometimes did not move when they met each other while fishing in the river. They also expressed their friendship with each other in incomprehensible language, which was really speechless for the two hostile armies.
And Tane Fang came to Orimi with hundreds of his henchmen. First of all, he persuaded the leader of the Su Mo tribe, and the race showed the edict given by Baili Wuji, so as to gain the trust of the Su Mo tribe leader, and then asked the Su Mo clan leader to invite the other six leaders of Bo Du, Anchegu, Fune, Hao Room, Heishui, and Baishan to come to Orimi for consultation.
As a result, an agreement was reached between the Seven Divisions of the Divine Dynasty and the Ming Kingdom, which is known as the "Orimi Secret Treaty" in history.
The two most core of the secret covenant are: the Ming State supported the seven tribes of the Yan Dynasty to rebuild the Bohai State, and gave food and money assistance; In return, the Bohai Kingdom will be annexed to the Ming Kingdom. It became a vassal state of the Ming State and paid tribute every year.
Although he was authorized by Baili Wuji, this time he exceeded his authority again, and Baili Wuji gave him the power to dispose of it cheaply. But it is impossible to give him the right to agree to divide the vassal kingdom without authorization. But he didn't know why, just as he rashly promised Yelu that he could be elected as the new Khitan king after the rebellion overthrew Yelujing. The seed from the reckless only knows how to unite all those who are willing to stand with him and make enemies of the Liao State together, as for whether it is more and more dead. Committing ultra vires. He didn't know anything about it.
The alliance of the "Orimi Secret Covenant", as the opposite party of the seven tribes of the Ming Dynasty, represented the signing of the covenant by the Ming Dynasty.
The giant wheel of war turned again, and the backyard of the Liao State, which was already surging in the dark tide, burned a raging fire under the catalysis of planting and release.
Half a month later, the group went south to the mixed river. The messenger conveyed the orders of the leaders of the various departments to the Bohai Navy, while the group crossed the river and headed for Li Jianxun's military tent.
After giving the soldiers who blocked him a hundred miles of unscrupulous edicts. He met Li Jianxun.
The two of them conspired in the tent of the Chinese army for a long time, and did not come out until the next day.
After several contacts with the Bohai Navy, an agreement was finally reached.
Li Jianxun's troops and the Bohai Navy immediately set up camp and headed north along both sides of the Mingtong River, aiming at Huanglongfu.
……。
On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of the fifth month, Yelu Jing, who was already in a hurry, could no longer care about Yelu Xiuge's prior report, and the riots and rebellions from all over the Liao State had made Yelu Jing to the point of powerlessness, and he issued the thirteenth and final will to Yelu Xiuge, and Yelu Jing ordered Yelu Xiuge to launch an attack immediately without further delay.
Yelujing really had no choice, the main force of the Liao army was pinned down in Huanghe, and the 200,000 troops were placed on the east and west sides of Shangjing to resist the attacks of the Wuxingwen and Bailikang tribes. The only remaining 70,000 leather room troops and 30,000 palace guards in Shangjing are the last barrier to maintain the Shangjing imperial court, and they cannot be mobilized.
The rest of the hundreds of thousands of troops are scattered in the states of the Liao State, which cannot be mobilized, and once they are mobilized, I am afraid that the Liao State will not need to be attacked by the Ming army, and it will fall apart.
Only the mobilized more than 100,000 tribal armies and 30,000 iron cavalry were free from their control due to the exile of Yelu Tira, Yelu Shuogu, and Jelu Zara.
Yelujing has indeed reached the point of exhaustion, and the only thing that can give him a breath is the good news from Yeluxiuge. Therefore, he had to order Jeruxiugo to fight immediately, and it was a decisive battle. A battle is won or lost. At this time, Yelujing was already an out-and-out gambler, desperately betting that he could win.
Yelu Hugo, who was on the north bank of the Huang River, looked at the emperor's will in front of him and sighed helplessly. He had already prepared his ordnance and trained his soldiers, the only thing he lacked was the weather, and he needed to wait for a drier weather, so that the land in the middle of the waters of the Huang River would reveal more land, so that the Liao army could use it as a base for advancing after the landing.
According to the wishes of Jereshugo, he hoped to launch an offensive at the end of May and the beginning of June. It's a pity that the time is not on the side of the Liao army.
In desperation, Yelu Hugo still decided to obey the emperor's will, he knew that if he did not obey the will again, the next time the emperor came, it was likely to be the will of removing him from the post of commander, and even rewarding him with a pot of poisoned wine.
The eighth day of the fifth month. After three days of preparation, the Liao army, in accordance with Yelu Huge's deployment, launched a fierce attack on the south of the Huang River.
The final decisive battle between the Ming and Liao countries finally began under the helplessness of Yelu Huge.
In the past month or so, too many things have happened around the Huanghe River, and the most gratifying and tragic thing is the same thing, the annexation of the Han people in the fallen area.
Since the Liao Dynasty was destroyed, countless Han people were exiled to the north, north of the sixteen states of Yanyun, more than eighty percent of them are Han people, and the Liao country, which is known as a population of 10 million, is actually more than seventy percent of the Han people, and the real Khitan only accounts for four or five percent of the total population.
However, the Han people, who account for more than 70% of the total population, are the lowliest slaves in Liao, enduring the bullying of people of all ethnic groups in Liao, and they cannot live in fear. (To be continued......)
