…

Myocheong, a Goryeo monk, a native of Goryeo Seogyong, common surname unknown.

Myoqing claimed to have inherited the footwork of the Taiyi jade tent taught by the Zen master Dao Shu in the early years of the Goryeo Dynasty.

The so-called Taiyi jade tent footwork is one of the feng shui diagram prophecies that prevailed in the Goryeo Dynasty.

It is rumored that Miaoqing and his brother-in-law Bai Shouhan, the Japanese official, are both familiar with the art of yin and yang, and confuse the public with strange and unobtrusive words.

Zheng Zhichang and many other people in the Xijing and Xijing classes of the Goryeo Dynasty were convinced of Miaoqing's theory, and Wang Kai's close minister Jin An and minister Wen Gongren all praised Miaoqing as a saint, and they introduced Miaoqing to Wang Kai.

Since the fall of Li Ziqian, Miaoqing has been favored by Wang Kai.

Miaoqing persuaded Wang Kai to establish Dahuaque at Lin Yuanyi in Xijing.

Wang Kai named Miaoqing as the three major unifiers and gave purple clothes.

Miaoqing Zeng and Zheng Zhichang and other people from Xijing of the Goryeo Dynasty suggested that Wang Kai move the capital from Kaijing to Xijing.

However, it was not realized because of the opposition of the people in the two classes of Kaijing headed by Jin Fushi.

In addition, Miaoqing also put forward the idea of letting Wang Kai claim the title of Emperor Jianyuan and uniting the Daqian Dynasty to conquer the Jin Dynasty.

In other words, although Myoqing was a monk, he was one of the few foreign hardliners in the Goryeo Dynasty.

It's a pity that Miaoqing's proposition was not accepted by Wang Kai.

Before the Goryeo Dynasty soldiers were about to open the capital, Wang Kai sent Miaoqing to Goryeo Xijing to fight the front station to prepare for Wang Kai's future escape to Goryeo Xijing.

Soon after Miaoqing arrived in Goryeo Xijing, he heard that the Qianjun had captured Wang Kai and Wanyan Xian'er and all the royal families and clans of the Goryeo Dynasty.

Miaoqing also heard that a large number of high-ranking officials and nobles of the Goryeo Dynasty were liquidated by the Daqian Dynasty, and their land, wealth and women were confiscated by the Daqian Dynasty, and the Daqian Dynasty also liberated all the slaves and maids in Kaijing, and distributed land to the commoners and slaves in Kaijing.

In Miaoqing's view, the Daqian Dynasty obviously did not simply teach the Goryeo Dynasty a lesson, in order to repay the Goryeo Dynasty for always following the Jin State to harass the border of the Daqian Dynasty, but to completely overthrow the rule of the Goryeo Dynasty and incorporate the territory of the Goryeo Dynasty into the territory of the Daqian Dynasty.

Miaoqing then took advantage of the chaos and Xijing officials Liu Min, Zhao Kuang and others to raise troops and establish a new kingdom, its country name "Dawei", changed the yuan to "Tiankai", called itself Tianpai Loyal Army, played the slogan "Goryeo independence, drive out the invaders", and occupied the key Chong Ling between Goryeo Xijing and Goryeo Kaegyong.

After Zhao Li conquered Goryeo Kaijing, he immediately handed over all the administrative affairs of Goryeo Kaijing to Yu Guang, and he himself, in accordance with the strategic deployment of the Daqian Dynasty, first completely recovered the Goryeo Kaigyeong area, and at the same time recruited 100,000 auxiliary troops composed of Goryeo civilians and Goryeo slaves from Kaegyung, and at the same time carried out simple training and political education for the Goryeo auxiliary army.

After all these were dealt with, Zhao Li immediately led an army of 150,000 cadres and an auxiliary army of 100,000 soldiers composed of Goryeo civilians and Goryeo slaves and maids to start the Northern Expedition.

In fact, during this period, some people persuaded Zhao Libing to be clumsy, saying that he should double his speed and attack him unprepared.

But Zhao Li did not take it.

Zhao Li believed that although the speed of the cadre army's recovery of Goryeo Kaijing was not slow, in order not to leave a disaster for future governance, they were ordered to uproot all the high-ranking officials and nobles and gentry in Goryeo Kaijing, and the time was not short, and the momentum was not small, so the local forces of the Goryeo Dynasty must have known that the cadres had recovered Goryeo Kaijing, and then they must have been prepared, and now it is difficult to attack it if they are not prepared.

And the officers and soldiers of the cadres easily seized Kyoto of the Goryeo Dynasty, and it was inevitable that they would have the heart of underestimating the enemy.

In addition, although the Qianjun temporarily recruited 100,000 auxiliary troops composed of Goryeo civilians and Goryeo slaves and maids from the Goryeo Dynasty, it was obviously not enough for this person to transport the large amount of grain, grass and baggage needed for the 150,000 Qianjun soldiers - otherwise, why do you think those people in ancient times used hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people, to transport grain, grass and baggage?

This will inevitably lead to a shortage of military supplies for the cadres.

Attacking when a soldier has the heart to underestimate the enemy and is short of military supplies will have two major disadvantages:

First, it is possible to encounter an ambush of Goryeo, and then be counterattacked by the Jedi of the Goryeo Dynasty.

Second, the local army of the Goryeo Dynasty may cut off the grain and grass that the cadres who had penetrated deep into the army could hardly supply, and the cadres turned from victory to defeat.

Therefore, Zhao Li advocated: All those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory. It is better to rely on the invincible attack power of the cadre army, fight steadily, obtain military funds along the way and pacify the cities, replenish the people while resting the soldiers, and slowly recover the entire Kei Di with a large army.

Of course, this is only the big strategic direction.

In local wars, Zhao Li also used many classic tactics, such as roundabout tactics.

After steadily seizing the Goryeo Seikaido, Zhao Li heard through secret agents and sentinels that Miaoqing and others were guarding the heavy troops in Goryeo Seokyo.

Instead of marching towards the Lingling Mountains, Zhao Li adopted a roundabout tactic and arrived at the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate in the north of Goryeo Xijing via Lianzhou.

When the people of the two realms of Goryeo saw the sudden arrival of the cadre army, they all fled or went out to meet them, and occasionally the areas where they resisted stubbornly were also captured by the cadres like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

After conquering these areas, the officials of the Daqian Dynasty and the Goryeo officials who surrendered to the Daqian Dynasty quickly followed up, liberated the Goryeo slaves and maids, and distributed land to the Goryeo commoners and Goryeo slaves and maids in the form of work-for-relief, and completely occupied these areas.

As a result, Goryeo Sekyung was completely isolated.

In the face of Goryeo Xijing, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Zhao Li divided his troops into five camps around the city to surround Goryeo Xijing.

Among them, the Tunchuan Debu of the Chinese Army, the Xingfu Temple of the Left Army, the Chongxing Temple of the Right Army, the Datong River of the Houjun Tun, and the east of the Chongxing Temple of the former Juntun.

Yu Guang and other officials of the Daqian Dynasty and Goryeo officials who surrendered to the Daqian Dynasty pacified the scattered Goryeo people.

Under the siege of the city by the army of cadres and Zhao Li's strong psychological tactics, the civilians and slaves of Goryeo Xijing rioted and killed Miaoqing and others, and then Kaesong surrendered.

The soldiers of the Daqian Dynasty took the important town of Goryeo Xijing without bloodshed.

After the captured Goryeo soldiers were dispersed, retrained and politically educated, the Daqian Dynasty received another 100,000 Goryeo auxiliaries.

- Compared with the previous 100,000 Goryeo auxiliary army composed of Goryeo civilians and Goryeo slaves, this Goryeo auxiliary army, which was composed of 100,000 Goryeo Segyung troops, was actually an army with a certain combat effectiveness.

After completely sweeping the Xijing region of Goryeo, Zhao Li led his army to continue northward, preparing to defeat the most warlike western army in Goryeo, and then open up a connection with the Liaodong region.

The Western Army of Goryeo was the army that had fought for six years against the Jurchens, who had not yet risen completely.

At that time, the 170,000 Goryeo Western Army led by the famous Goryeo generals Yin Qian and Wu Yanchong invaded the Jurchen-controlled Haoladian area, expanded the land for 300 li, and built the six states of Ying, Xiong, Fu, Ji, Xian, and Yi, as well as the three towns of Tongtai, Pingrong, and Gongyu (nine cities in the northeast).

The famous Jurchen general Wanyan Husai led his army to counterattack, attacking the communication lines and communication networks between the various cities of Goryeo, and repeatedly defeated the Goryeo reinforcements, leaving the western army of Goryeo exhausted.

In the end, the two sides negotiated peace, and the Goryeo Dynasty returned the Jurchens to Wanyan.

Although in that battle, the Jurchens curbed the Goryeo Dynasty's northward expansion attempt, so that the Goryeo Dynasty no longer dared to covet the Lazidian region, and won a great victory, but to be honest, the Goryeo Western Army fought well in the early and middle periods.

It can be seen that the Western Army of Goryeo still has good combat power.

It's a pity that that battle took place twenty or thirty years ago, and the current Goryeo Western Army is no longer the Goryeo Western Army that can compete with the Jurchens, otherwise, Wanyan Zongwang would not have been able to lead only 50,000 Jin troops to penetrate the defense line of the Goryeo Western Army and fight under the capital of the Goryeo Dynasty, Naseong, forcing the Goryeo Dynasty to sign an alliance under the city.

The key is that after the Goryeo Dynasty was controlled by the Jin State, Tuo Junjing led 100,000 Goryeo troops to the Jin State to help in the war, and the main force led by him was the Western Goryeo Army. In other words, almost half of the Western Goryeo Army has been taken away by Tu Junjing.

The key point is that the current opponent of the Western Army of Goryeo is the cadre army that is more powerful than the Jin Army and has long defeated the Western Army of Goryeo.

Therefore, for defeating the most powerful Western army of the Goryeo Dynasty, Zhao Li and other cadres and generals are still very confident.

However, there are two problems that currently plague Zhao Li and other cadres and generals:

The first is the huge problem that has always plagued the speed of the cadres' marches, that is, it is really difficult to transport grain, grass, baggage, and other military supplies in the northern part of the Jidi area, where the mountainous roads are inconvenient, so that the cadres' grain, grass, baggage, and other military supplies are really insufficient, and they cannot fight a long-term war of attrition.

The second is that the cadres have been dragged in Goryeo Xijing for a long time, so that the time has come to winter, and it is currently in rainy and snowy weather.

As we all know, in order to be able to land smoothly at Licheng Port, and because at the same time, the Jin and Goryeo raids, and the Western Xia and Tubo had to prevent the Western Xia and Tubo from attacking the Daqian Dynasty at this critical time, the soldiers and horses of the Daqian Dynasty were really a little stretched, so the main force of the Daqian Dynasty's attack on Goryeo this time was the Daqian Southern Army.

These officers and men of the Southern Army, who were extremely afraid of the cold, naturally greatly reduced their combat strength in such cold weather.

Zhao Li learned that because the main force of the cadre army was not adapted to such cold weather, there was even a situation of discouragement in the army.

Some people suggested that it would be better to apply to the imperial court and wait for the spring flowers to bloom next year before continuing to march.

But Zhao Li felt that only this last battle was missing, and the Daqian Dynasty could open up the connection between the Liaodong region and Jidi, and he should not give up.

So, Zhao Li discussed with his partner Zhao Han'er, the capital supervisor, to see if he could let the supervisors at all levels do the work of the soldiers well, so that the soldiers could overcome the difficulties in front of them and finish this crucial battle.

Zhao Han'er immediately convened the supervision of the army at all levels and held a mobilization meeting.

Only with the timely pacification of the supervising troops at all levels was the military morale of the cadres and troops able to settle down.

But even so, in order to preserve the troops, Zhao Li still kept an eye on this battle and let the 200,000 Goryeo auxiliaries serve as the main force.

Who would have thought that the Western Army of Goryeo would not learn well and engage in the method of watering into ice, and turned all the more than 30 military castles built in northern Goryeo from the north of the Cheongcheon River to Yongxing Bay into ice castles, making these already easy to defend and difficult to attack all of them into even easier to defend and difficult to attack.

Early December.

The all-important Battle of Pengshan County officially began.

After the surrender failed, Zhao Li, with the Goryeo auxiliary army as the mainstay, divided his troops into three routes to attack the three ice castles in Pengshan County in the south of Jian'an at the same time.

To be fair, the Goryeo auxiliaries, especially those Goryeo soldiers who were born as Goryeo slaves, were still very hard at the beginning, and they could also brave the artillery fire to attack those ice castles, and they had a good chance of showing their own intentions.

But this ice castle is too difficult to attack, even with the help of the red-coated cannons that have been overwhelming before.

- It's hard to stand on top of this ice castle, let alone climb up.

What's even more troublesome is that no matter what this ice castle was bombed before, as long as there is a truce, it will soon be restored to its original state.

This is tantamount to the fact that the previous efforts have been completely wasted.

After a few battles, seeing that this ice castle really couldn't be defeated, and its own side had caused a lot of casualties, the Goryeo auxiliary army couldn't help but let go of the bears, and if they went out to fight again, it was just a show, and it was completely impossible to work.

After carefully observing the equipment of the defenders, Zhao Li saw that the defenders all had ropes tied to their feet, so he also asked people to find ropes and let the Goryeo auxiliaries tie them to their shoes, which later evolved into being wound more than twice, and then tied tightly at the ankles.

In this way, the anti-slip effect is really good.

Some northerners also proposed that when walking on ice, maintain a small stride and a fixed pace, don't walk too fast, and it can also be non-slip.

These have solved the problem of walking on ice to a certain extent.

However, the Goryeo auxiliaries tried several more times, but they still failed to take down these ice forts.

Seeing this, Zhao Han'er took the initiative to ask, "I'll try it." ”

Zhao Li, who was really trapped by these ice castles, could only let Zhao Han'er's regular army command the cadre army try.

After Zhao Han'er went to war, he personally sat in the artillery battalion, commanded the red-coated artillery to cover and attack the entire ice fort, and sometimes he also asked the artillery to fire the artillery close to the limit of the attacking cadres and soldiers to cover the attack of the cadres and soldiers.

In fact, this method of fighting is very dangerous, because as long as the officers and men of the attacking cadres run faster or the artillery hits the slightest inaccuracy, it is possible to inflict huge casualties on the attacking cadres.

However, this style of play is also very effective.

The key is that these cadres and soldiers brought out by Zhao Han'er personally, just like him, carry out orders without discounting, and they are not afraid of death.

In the end, under the personal command of Zhao Han'er, the cadres paid a lot of casualties and finally attacked the first ice castle.

The Daqian Dynasty, which has always strictly forbidden the killing of prisoners, has extremely rare this time to take the men in this ice castle that was beaten down to the next ice castle and behead all of them.

The brutality of the cadres to wash the city frightened the defenders in the next ice castle and immediately surrendered.

In this way, no less than 30 military ice forts from the north of the Qingchuan River to Yongxing Bay were either defeated or surrendered.

After the war, rumors came out that the pioneers of the battles commanded by Zhao Han'er were all his sons, and the pioneers of the two ice castles were also his sons.

Unfortunately, Zhao Han'er's third son, Zhao Xiong, also died in one of the battles.

After learning of this, the officers and soldiers of the cadre army, especially those Goryeo auxiliary troops, all respected Zhao Han'er extremely much, and even Zhao Han'er's partner Zhao Li was no exception.

Through these difficult more than a dozen battles, the world knows that it is not for nothing that Zhao Han'er, a seemingly innocent general, can become the leading general of the founding of the Daqian Dynasty and the mainstay trusted by Li Cun.

After destroying the last resistance army in the northern part of the Minoji, the army led by Zhao Li and Zhao Han'er finally reached the Great Wall of the Goryeo Dynasty.

The Great Wall was built 100 years ago.

At that time, in order to seize the area south of the Yalu River, Goryeo Dezong adopted a tough policy against the Khitan, so he ordered Liu Shao, the commander of Pingzhang, to build the northern Guancheng in preparation for future wars.

During the reign of Jingzong of Goryeo, the Great Wall of thousands of miles was finally completed, and the history records that this project "starts from the ancient domestic city boundary of the west coast, the Yalu River enters the sea, and spans Weiyuan, Jinghai, Xinghua, Ningde, Ninghai, Ningshuo, Yunzhou, Anshui, Qingsai, Pingyu, Ningyuan, Dingrong, Mengzhou, Shuozhou and other thirteen cities, and arrives at Yaode, Jingbian, Hezhou and other three cities, and the east Fu is in the sea, stretching for more than 1,000 miles, with stone as the city, each with a height of 25 feet."

The Thousand Miles Wall also served as a border for most of the Goryeo Dynasty.

Hitting here, it can finally be regarded as opening up the connection between the Liaodong region of the Daqian Dynasty and Jidi.

At this point, it can be said that half of the Goryeo Dynasty is already the Daqian Dynasty, and this is still the more difficult half of the country.

After Li Cun learned of this, he first rewarded the soldiers of the Goryeo army according to the merits verified by the Ministry of War, referring to the opinions of Zhao Li, Zhao Han'er and other generals, and then issued a holy decree: demolish the thousand-mile Great Wall of the Goryeo Dynasty; Increase the number of people and lay the railway from Liaodong to the port of Licheng as soon as possible; The army of Vagoryeo rested on the spot, and when the spring flowers bloomed in the next year, they would completely recover the Midi......
