Chapter 345 Western Liao
"I, the Great Liao Emperor Yelu Dashi, is extremely wise, like the reincarnation of Taizu."
As she spoke, Su Mei began to tell the history of the development of Western Liao.
There are always heroes rising in troubled times!
If there were no troubled times, Zhao Pu would just be a prince, spending his life in peace, where he was qualified to fight on the battlefield, where he was qualified to be the emperor, the troubled times made him. In the same way, the troubled times also created Yelu Dashi, a generation of Liao heroes.
When he was a child, Yelu Dashi won the first place in the palace examination and was awarded the post of editor of the Hanlin Academy. Soon after, he was promoted to Hanlin Chengzhi. The Khitan language refers to Hanlin as Linya, so people call him Dashi Linya, or Linya Dashi.
When Yelu Dashi embarked on his official career, it was when the Liao State began to fall, and the ruling group was in turmoil over the succession to the throne; At that time, the Jin State rose, destroying the Liao State. In 1122, the Jin army attacked on a large scale and captured Zhongjing and Zezhou. Emperor Liao Tianzuo retreated from Nanjing, but was attacked by the Jin army on the way, fled in a hurry, and "rode lightly into Jiashan", isolated from outside news.
When Emperor Tianzuo left Nanjing, the edict left the prime ministers Zhang Lin and Li Chuwen and the king of Qin and Jin Yelu Chun to guard Nanjing. As a result, after a few days of orders, Li Chuwen and Xiao Gan, the commander of Nanjing, and the Liaoxing army made Yelu Dashi and others set up Yelu Chun as the emperor, and there were six roads of Yan, Yun, Ping and Shangjing, Zhongjing, and Liaoxi, and history called this short-lived regime "Northern Liao".
Yelu Dashi had outstanding military talents, and once defeated two attacks by the Northern Song army on the southern front, and achieved partial military victories, but it was difficult to change the overall situation of the war.
As the saying goes, the building will fall, and it will be difficult to support it alone.
As the Jin army on the northern front approached the Great Wall again, the situation in Liao deteriorated again.
In 1123, Yelu Dashi led an army to attack the Jin Dynasty army, but was defeated and captured. The following year, Jerodashi fled and brought back an army.
Afterward. Emperor Tianzuo reined in the remnants of the Liao State, and received the support of Wei Mo Ge of the Yinshan Chamber, claiming to be the help of heaven, and then plotting to send troops to recover Yanyun. Dashi thought it was impossible, but Emperor Tianzuo couldn't accept it and insisted on sending troops. Yelu Dashi knew that it was impossible to achieve the great cause of restoration, so he killed the ministers Xiao Yixue and Po Likuo, led two hundred iron horsemen, and left the camp of Emperor Tianzuo at night. The Qarakhanid dynasty defected to Central Asia. After he left, Emperor Tianzuo sent troops and first achieved some small victories, but was quickly defeated by the Jin army, in the spring of 1125. Emperor Tianzuo was captured by the Jin army on the way to escape to Western Xia and died. At this time, it was only half a year before Yelu Dashi left.
Heavy ears are born outside, and Shen is born and dies inside
There is no shame in running away. Only when you run properly can you be the best!
When Yelu Dashi left, he established himself as a king, crossed the desert, and arrived at the Liao Dynasty's northern Xinjiang town, the Northwest Road Recruitment Division's station, Kedun City. He immediately convened a meeting of the governors, chiefs, and subordinates of the seven prefectures and eighteen ministries to call for the re-establishment of the Liao Dynasty. Supported by ministries. So Yelu Dashi obtained more than 10,000 elite soldiers from these leaders and established a simple government here.
After Yelu Dashi took real power in the city of Kedun, he did not "save the monarch and help the people" as he said. Rather, it is to carry out his established policy -- "raise troops and act when the time comes." This base area has pastures with abundant water and grass, cattle and sheep, which provide people with the main food, and at the same time have certain grain crops to supply people with some starch food. This provided the economic basis for the Yelu Dashi regime. To the south of the country, there was a wide desert area, which became a natural line of defense, which was convenient for the Yelu Dashi regime to recuperate. Wait for your time.
Listening to these stories, Wang Wuyue secretly admired in her heart, Yelu Dashi deserved to be called the hero.
In comparing the current emperor Zhao Pu, I found that the two had some similarities.
Zhao Pu was a hostage, and he was almost put into the oil pot and became a dish on the table; And Yelu Dashi was captured by the Jin army, almost slashed by a thousand knives, and was almost lit with a sky lantern. It's just that they didn't die, but they made a fortune through it.
After Zhao Pu left Jinying, he went to Hedong and controlled part of the military power, thus controlling Xiangfan, Jiangnan and other regions; And when Yelu Dashi fled, he took away an army, which also became the capital of his future rise.
Zhao Pu thought that Bianliang couldn't hold it, so he left Bianliang and simply ran to Hedong, but survived and became the emperor; Yelu Dashi thought that Emperor Tianzuo was unreliable, and he also ran away decisively, so he established a political power in the Western Regions, and successively merged the Uighur Kingdom of Gaochang, the Karakhanid Dynasty of the East and West, and Khorezm to establish a powerful empire.
The Jin army once wanted to completely wipe out this remnant of the Liao State, but it was a pity that the labor expedition was long and the logistics were long, and they were defeated by Yelu Dashi. After defeating the Jin army, Yelu Dashi's prestige soared and consolidated Houliao; And Zhao Pu, after repelling the three-way attack of the Jin army, also consolidated the rear and formed a confrontational situation.
In the end, Su Mei said: "As long as the situation changes, the Eastern Crusade will be launched, the Jin army will be destroyed, and the Great Liao will be revitalized!" β
"Dingdu Western Regions!" Wang Wuyue sneered, "Staying away from the Central Plains is equivalent to losing orthodoxy and losing the capital to compete in the world." The so-called Zhongxing Daliao is just a deception. Zhongxing Daliao is not so much Zhongxing as it is surviving. Da Liao, is it qualified to be called big? At most, it's just a Xiliao! β
"Isn't it the Song Dynasty? Lost half of the country, is it qualified to be called the Great Song Dynasty? It's not big at all, but it's getting smaller, it's just a Southern Song Dynasty! β
At this time, Su Mei couldn't help but retort.
Wang Wuyue nodded and agreed: "You are right. Now that the Great Liao has perished, only one Western Liao remains; The Great Song Dynasty has perished, and only one Southern Song remains. Whether it is the Western Liao or the Southern Song Dynasty, they are all a group of lost dogs, just surviving for a long time. ZTE is just talking, it's okay to fool and fool the people. It's a bit too much for one's own people to deceive one's own people! β
"Today's emperor of the Song Dynasty, one northern expedition after another, agitating the people everywhere, is he just fooling the people?" Samui Road.
Wang Wuyue said: "This is natural, the Northern Expedition has never been victorious. Compared with today's emperor, there are countless people who are amazing and gorgeous, and they have all failed, and it is reasonable to fail again. It's just that sometimes, even if you know you're failing, you have to try. Today's emperor is a stubborn person, he will not die until he reaches the heart of the Yellow River, he will not turn back if he does not hit the south wall, even if he hits the south wall, he will not turn back, he will only continue to hit until he knocks the south wall down! β
"Don't talk about those boring things, let's talk about some serious things!"
Wang Wuyue said, the expression on her face seemed to be mocking, as if she was disdainful,
"Who is that son?" Su Mei changed the topic and suddenly asked.
"He's my man!" Wang Wuyue said.
"That son, but that person ......," Su Mei said with a smile.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Wuyue didn't answer, her expression was indifferent, and she seemed to disdain to answer.
Although she didn't get a clear answer, Su Mei already had a spectrum in her heart. In the world, there are many arrogant people, but there seems to be only one person who can really be lawless and unscrupulous.
"You are the Khitan princess, he is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, if I tell that person your information? What will happen?" Su Mei still smiled, but there was a threat in her expression.
"What do you want me to do?" Wang Wuyue smiled, laughed for the first time.
"The battle of Liaojin is comparable in itself, but as a result, the Song people inserted a knife halfway, and my Liao State completely collapsed, the Song State is guilty, and the Zhao royal family is guilty, so I have to kill, I can't help but kill!" In Su Mei's tone, there was a strong murderous intent.
The Liao State was destroyed by the Jin State, and in the process of the Liao Dynasty, the Song army only played soy sauce.
It's just that in the eyes of the Liao people, the hatred for the Song people is far greater than that of the Jin people.
"Really?" Wang Wuyue said.
"Isn't it? The Song army reneged on the covenant and attacked our Liao country! Su Mei said with a smile.
"So what?" Wang Wuyue said, "A paper agreement, the binding force itself is not large, and the covenant itself is used to tear up!" The Song-Liao Entente itself is fragile, the Liao army always wants to invade the south, and the Song army always wants to recover Youyun. It would be naΓ―ve to want to dream of a covenant to prevent the war from happening! β
"Besides, what is the situation in Liao, you don't know that in order to compete for the throne, brothers kill each other, and a lot of energy is spent on internal friction. It is said that the Jurchens are less than 10,000, and the Manchurian king is invincible. But in the early days of the Jin Kingdom, there were few soldiers and generals, and they were too weak. At that time, the emperor sent troops to encircle and suppress, although the Jin army was strong, but there were few people, outnumbered, and they would be defeated after a long battle. It's just that at the moment when the Jin army was about to fall, someone in the rear rebelled, and the emperor had to retreat. At this time, as soon as the army retreated, the Jin army came in a big way, and it was defeated. The destruction of the Liao State is not because the Jin State is strong, but because the consumption in the Liao State is too great! (To be continued......)
