Chapter I

The official road, which lasted two years and was built by millions of people, played an important role in the rapid restoration of the strength of the Central Plains, like a blood vessel, continuously importing technology, capital, and goods from the south to the north.

In the autumn of this year, Zhao Kuangyin resolutely launched a war against Tubo after receiving the war horses and military rations promised by Baili Wuji. Due to the change of dynasties, many officials and soldiers of the former Zhou State who had no intention of meeting or were snubbed by Baili Wuji defected to Zhao Kuangyin to the west, so when they set off, the number of troops had actually reached as many as 150,000.

When Zhao Kuangyin's troops were reported to Baili Wuji, Baili Wuji quickly issued an order, ordering Ma Jiyun of Chengdu Prefecture to lead his troops to the west and cooperate with Zhao Kuangyin's troops to conquer Tibet.

To the north of the Yellow River, 200,000 new troops began to prepare for war, a large number of ordnance and materials were gathering in the direction of Fengzhou, and the new army of Baili Yibu on the south bank of the Huang River was also advancing towards Fengzhou with thousands of artillery pieces.

Baili Wuji's will is to open the spring next year, and the Northern Expedition will block divination.

At this time, the Liao State had fallen into the early stage of disintegration.

With the secret support of the Ming Kingdom, especially Baili Wuji, nearly 300,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people who had been reduced after completing the official road were filled into Yelutira's Wugu enemy martyrdom, Yelutira's strength has been significantly improved, although these captives can no longer fight, but they are still more than enough as a labor force, after all, the seven who were conscripted into the army are the strongest.

In this way, Yelutira established his position as a strong man in the vicinity of the Wugu Enemy Lie Division, and became the king of this region.

And Jeruzara, with her status as an imperial daughter and the strength of the Iron Cavalry, became the second most powerful person in the Huanghe region after Yelu Jing. There is even a tendency to catch up with and surpass Yelujing.

As the most powerful vassal state in Liao, there is no one. The Seven Divisions of the Ming State had a "secret communication and private engagement for life" with the Ming State, and in fact they had been outside the Liao Imperial Court. It became the first force to break away from Liao.

Poor Yelu Jing, who "has a heart higher than the sky and a life thinner than paper", no longer has the majesty of swallowing mountains and rivers back then, and he can only sprinkle his anger on the surrounding attendants.

In less than a month, Yelu Jing killed the attendants around him, and the attendants had already changed two stubbles.

Finally, in order to save himself, the servants began to collude in tandem.

One day at the end of March, Jereh "killed the precursor and the elder." File their corpses and discard them". Soon, the little brother who was unwilling to sit still and wait for death, and the brother who was a servant. Because he didn't have a weapon in his hand, he united with a total of six people including the cook, Xin Gu, and killed Yelu Jing while he was "drunk with joy".

The soul of a generation of "sleeping kings" has returned to the ethereal, as recorded in the history of Liao: Mu Zong reigned for ten years. Knowing that the witch is in vain. The indiscriminate punishment of the ministers is not unclear. And he is indifferent to wine, and he is insatiable in hunting. Detect the goose and miss the deadline, and the punishment of the iron comb will be added; Won the duck very happy, in addition to the Eagle Fang thorn face order. The rewards and punishments are disorderly, the government does not pay attention to them, and they are eager to kill. Change your elbows and armpits, yes!

Jerejing died unexpectedly. It marks that the Khitan people, who once dominated the north, have officially entered a period of decline, and the Liao State, with the Khitan as the main body, has officially entered a period of division.

Yelutira was officially entrenched in the area from the Luqu River to the Heller River. He proclaimed independence and proclaimed himself the Khan of the Ugu enemy.

Not to be outdone, the Seven Divisions of the Yan Dynasty immediately declared their independence from the Liao State and established the "Bohai State", and the king was elected from among the leaders of the seven tribes.

After Yelu Jing's death, the army under his command began to look for new allegiances to rely on, and Jelu Sara, with his special identity and strong strength, quickly filled the power vacuum formed after Yelu Jing's death, and was unanimously elected as the new emperor of Liao, becoming the first female emperor of Liao.

However, the Murwei and other tribes north of Taizhou did not submit to the rule of Jeruzara, and immediately broke away from the Liao State and formed an independent force.

Since then, the Liao State has been divided into four independent states, with the Bohai State having the strongest combat power, the Wugu enemy with the largest number of martyrs, and the "Liao State" of Yelutira being the most orthodox.

When the information was presented to Baili Wuji, Baili Wuji immediately sent envoys to Jelutira, Jeruzara, and the Bohai Kingdom.

In mid-April, Jelutira sent an envoy to Jinling to pay the Ming State an annual tribute. Baili Wuji decreed that he was canonized as the "Wugu Enemy Khan", awarded him the title of king, and conscripted 30,000 troops to form the "Wugu Army" to enter the south bank of the Yuqu River.

At the beginning of May, the Bohai Kingdom sent an envoy to Jinling to take refuge under the wing of the Ming State. Baili Wuji decreed that he was canonized as the "King of Bohai", and conscripted 30,000 troops to form the "Navy" stationed in the Guest Mansion.

At the end of May, Jeruzara, who went to Beijing of the Liao State, sent an envoy to Jinling with a letter of state to meet Baili Wuji, surrendered himself to the emperor as the king, changed the name of the country to Khitan, and descended to Beijing as Linhuang Mansion, and incorporated it into the Ming Kingdom. Baili Wuji canonized Jeruzara as the king of Khitan, and conscripted 30,000 troops to form a "Khitan army" and stationed in Linhuang Mansion.

In half a year, the flag of the Ming Kingdom was instantly planted all over the world, and the momentum was amazing.

As a result, after absorbing the territory of the Zhou State, the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty surged with an unprecedented sense of pride, even to the point of pride.

Everyone is proud of being a Ming country, and even the people south of the Yangtze River feel superior to others because they are the old people of the Ming Kingdom.

The Ming Kingdom was subdivided into four kinds of people: with Gyeongju as the center, the people in the surrounding areas of Gangneung Province were called honored because they were the places where they made their fortunes and raised troops for hundreds of miles, and because of the sparse population, they considered themselves to be the most special subjects; With Jinling Mansion, Tanzhou Mansion, Chengdu Mansion, Xingwang Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion as the center, the people in the surrounding areas are first-class subjects and are called first-class people; The people of Hexi Prefecture, Jiaozhou County, Qinghuang and other places are second-class subjects; The Khitan tribes of the seven tribes of the Yan Dynasty, the eight tribes of Wugu, and even the Ming tribes around the Huang River were classified as third-class subjects; Only Goryeo and Dongying are classified as the last, and they belong to the fourth class of subjects.

After knowing it, he was not surprised, and even had a hint of right meaning in his heart, the pride of the nation comes from the iron-blooded war, which is forged with life and blood, although the means may not be moral, but for the overall meaning of a nation, all immorality will be covered by national dignity.

This is also the national and national consciousness that Baili Wuji wants to awaken the people.

With this, Baili Wuji can smoothly promote the entire Ming court to actively prepare for war, and prepare to launch the Northern Expedition in March next year to carry out a war of destruction and obstruction.

At the same time, Baili Wuji sent a messenger to Lang Gai and Gastro, and agreed to send troops to block the matter in early March next year.

During this period, the Khitan king Yelu Zarat officially proposed to the Ming court and handed over the command of the 30,000 iron cavalry to Bailiyi to contribute to the Northern Expedition.

Jeruzara naturally knew that Baili Wuji was afraid of the Iron Cavalry, and since he had been attached to the Ming Kingdom, if the Iron Cavalry Army was retained, it would no longer be the treasure of the town, but the disaster of extermination. (To be continued......)
