When the Ming Dynasty issued the treasure banknote, Yelu Dashi was on a westward expedition.

It's just a "westward expedition", he didn't say that he was going to run away, but he really can't do it and may come back.

The Mongol tribes and the White Tatars were completely separated from the Jerod Stone. However, some other tribes in Mobei still nominally submitted to him, and gave a small number of warriors and herdsmen to follow Yelu Dashi all the way to the west.

After crossing the Altai Mountains, the Naiban tribe gave strong support.

However, although the leaders of the Nabarian tribe are willing to send troops to help and provide supplies and population, they do not want Yelu Dashi Zhen to stay here.

Because the pasture can't accommodate so many people!

Yelu Dashi could only lead his troops south, crossing the Tianshan Pass to Turpan, and using the Gaochang Uighurs to attack the Eastern Qarakhanid.

The king of Gaochang, Bilge, was frightened enough, for fear that the Yelu stone dove would occupy the magpie's nest.

He took out the edict of canonization from the Ming Emperor, claiming that the Uighurs of Gaochang were subject states of the Ming Dynasty. He also held a banquet for three days to entertain Yelu Dashi, and gave away 600 horses, 100 camels, and 3,000 sheep as gifts to wish Yelu Dashi a successful expedition to the west.

Then, Bilge quietly sent a messenger to the Eastern Qarakhanid to report that Yelu Dashi's army was about to be killed.

Probably in the territory of Kyrgyzstan in later generations, the army of the Eastern Qarakhanid State ambushed Yelu Dashi in the mountains.

Yelu Dashi was defeated and fled with his troops in embarrassment.

Fortunately, the women and children were temporarily placed in the Naiman Department, otherwise this ambush battle would have been able to lose all the old capital of Yelu Dashi.

Yelu Dashi had doubts in his heart, and he always felt that he had been sold.

He returned the same way with the remnants of his army, but was ambushed by the Uighurs of Gauchang.

"Sons, now you have to fight to the death, otherwise you all have to die here!"

At the critical moment, Yelu Dashi personally led hundreds of iron cavalry to charge, and ordinary cavalry also marched forward bravely one by one.

Although the Uighurs were more numerous and outnumbered, the Uighurs had not fought hard for many years. In the face of the Western Liao soldiers and horses fighting the trapped beasts, the Gaochang Uighurs were unexpectedly crushed in front of them, and were chased all the way back to Beshibali.

There is a city wall in Beishibali, which was once the seat of the Beiting Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty, and is now the royal city of the Gaochang Uighurs.

Yelu Dashi personally ran to the city and asked: "I just took advantage of the road to march and did not plunder along the way in Gaochang, why did you betray my whereabouts and send troops to ambush me on my way back?" ”

Bilco panicked and defended: "I did not betray your ambush soldiers and horses, and they all acted on their own. I would like to give you another fifty camels, five thousand sheep, and another thousand male and female slaves. ”

As he spoke, he threatened very vaguely: "If it weren't for Gaochang being a subject of the Ming Dynasty, I would definitely submit the whole country to Your Excellency!" ”

Yelu Dashi looked at the fortified city in front of him, if it weren't for the existence of a city wall, he would definitely set foot on this place no matter whose subject country it was.

It's a pity that he was ambushed and defeated the previous time, and although he won on the way back, he also suffered a lot of losses, and the Gaochang Uighurs had the support of the Ming Dynasty and the fortified city in front of him as a stronghold. Hatred must be restrained!

Accepting Gaochang's "gift", Yelu Dashi went to the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

Although the Gaochang army was not good at fighting, the armor was not bad, and the Western Xia Iron Harrier was originally an imitation of the Gaochang cavalry.

In this bloody battle, Yelu Dashi captured nearly 1,000 ironclad cavalry, which was enough to equip 1,300 ironclad cavalry including his previous family background.

Just when Yelu Dashi didn't know where to go, a small Khitan tribe came to defect, and the leader said to Yelu Dashi: "Along the north side of the Tianshan Mountains all the way to the west, there is the land of seven rivers with abundant water and grass. Many Khitan people migrated over, scattered and nomadic in the climate, and were often oppressed by local tribes. ”

"Are there Khitans in the west?" Yelu Dashi said in surprise.

The tribal leader said: "As long as the Great Khan leads his troops over, not only the Khitans will be willing to follow, but even many other tribes will submit." Because the nobility and priesthood of the Black Khanate forced us outsiders and small tribes to proselytize. Those who did not want to convert were often slaughtered. Even if they are converted, they will still be exploited. ”

The land of the Seven Rivers is rich, of course, it is impossible to take it easily.

Those scattered small Khitan tribes are actually distributed on the edge of the land of seven rivers, and strictly speaking, they are not even on the edge - about the Tacheng, Karamay, and Bortala areas of Xinjiang.

Yelu Dashi immediately led the army to go, and because of his status as a nobleman of the Liao State, the Khitan tribes here have been attached, and he is regarded as the backbone and savior.

There was almost no fighting, just an armed march, and Yelu Dashi subdued the nearby non-Khitan tribes.

He finally has a base and completely his own territory!

Even north of the Tianshan Mountains, many of the tribes that originally submitted to Gaochang threw themselves into the arms of Yelu Dashi.

Counting the tribes brought from Mobei, as well as the Naiban tribe who were willing to obey him, as well as the small tribes on the western edge of Mobei, there were already 40,000 households in Yelu Dashi's territory.

The westernmost part of Yelu Dashi is probably the Sino-Kazakh border in northern Xinjiang.

He has already set a goal for next year, which is to conquer the pastures around Jaisangbo and Alahu.

Get these two places done, and further on is Lake Balkhash.

On the bank of the Mili River (Emin River) in Zhumaye, Yelu Dashi looked at the grassland that was not rich, and for a time he was open-minded and infinitely emotional, and there was a sense that the sky was high and the birds could fly, and the sea was wide and the fish jumped.

"This is the foundation of the real business!" Yelu Dashi Lang laughed.

The subordinate general Xiao Hulira said: "This land given by God to the Great Khan, it is sandwiched between the Black Khanate and Gaochang, and has been quietly waiting for the Great Khan for hundreds of years!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Yelu Dashi smiled even more happily.

Actually, it was because it was too desolate and impoverished, and it was too far away from the core of the two countries' rule to be looked down upon by the Uighurs of Qocho and the Eastern Qarakhanids. Only occasionally send troops over to show off their strength, bully the small tribes here, and then use this area as a buffer between the two countries.

Only Yelu Dashi, a lost dog, treats the territory that others look down on as a treasure.

Yelu Dashi commented: "Although I was ambushed and defeated by the Black Khanate, I do not regard the Black Khanate as a fierce enemy. The treacherous terrain and the ambush on three sides in advance allowed us to escape, and we didn't leave too many warriors behind. If it were me who came to ambush me, the enemy would surely be annihilated! From this, it can be deduced that the soldiers and horses of the Black Khanate are not enough, and I can easily defeat them head-on! ”

Xiao Lira said with a look of adoration: "The Great Khan is blessed by God, indomitable, brave and good at fighting, and he will definitely be able to restore the Great Liao Kingdom in the Western Regions!" ”

Yelu Dashi pointed forward: "You and I work together to create a foundation for all generations." ”

"Drive!"

Dozens of horsemen followed the Jerudashi and galloped wildly, and they were going to explore the terrain further west and prepare for the conquest of the army next year.

Looking back at the southeast, Yelu Dashi was resentful in his heart, and the evil anger of being stabbed in the back could not be eliminated.

Once he had enough strength, he would surely return to Beshbali and conquer the Uighurs of Gaochang.

He doesn't care whose subject country Gaochang is!

……

Yelu Dashi has a foothold, but the Jin country is in a fight.

The kind of government of the Jin State must continue to fight, and once it is idle, there will be problems.

Last year, he conquered Yelu Dashi, and this year he conquered the yellow-headed Jurchens.

The yellow-headed Jurchen was in the Great Xing'an Mountains and along the Heilongjiang River, formerly known as the Huangtou Murwei, and was conquered by the Jin State more than ten years ago.

A group of blond, blue-eyed minorities.

"Those with yellow hair, yellow sideburns, and green eyes are called yellow-headed Jurchens." -- "The Three Koreas and the Northern Alliance".

It was so far away from Mobei, and the yellow-headed Jurchen actually rebelled, returning to Yelu Dashi in the first two years, and going south along the Nenjiang River and Heilongjiang River to plunder the Jin Kingdom.

The reason is very simple, the Jin Kingdom has increased the tribute of the Huangtou tribe and asked the Huangtou Four to pay more tribute every year!

Now, they have reverted to their clan name and changed it back to "Huangtou Murowei".

Wanyan Zonghan personally led the troops to conscript, all the way north along the Nenjiang River, and all the way north along the Heilongjiang River.

The golden soldiers fought one after another, snatching many fish, pearls, and furs, and recovering many blonde and blue-eyed slaves. But that's all, it's not enough to consume the army's rations!

Of the four major tribes of Huangtou Murowei, two of them resubmitted to the Jin State, and the two tribes further north are still resisting.

When the Jin soldiers came, they drilled into the Great Xing'an Mountains, and the Jin soldiers left and came out again, and then went south to plunder, anyway, they wanted to fight the Jin State to the end.

Returning to Shangjing with the captives and booty, Wanyan Zonghan was very unhappy.

This battle was fought at a loss, and the wild men of the Yellow Head Murwei were too poor!

Two birchbark clippers sped towards them, quickly approaching Wanyan Zonghan's marching troops.

"Stop, stop!"

The soldiers began to fire arrows.

The people on the boat shouted: "I am Wendu Sizhong, let me go quickly!" ”

The arrows immediately stopped, and someone came to answer them.

Wanyan Zonghan asked, "But what happened to Shangjing?" ”

Wen Du Sizhong looked left and right, and stopped talking.

Wanyan Zonghan let his soldiers disperse and said in a low voice: "Say it." ”

"Slanted also fell ill and died." Wendu Sizhong said.

"What? I was fine before I went out. Wanyan Zonghan was shocked.

Wanyan Xian is also the head of the ancestral line of the Jin Kingdom, and he coordinates and appeases the nobles of the ancestral line, and reaches a delicate balance with Wanyan Zonghan.

This old man suddenly fell ill and died, and there was chaos in the Jin Kingdom again.

Wanyan Zonghan suddenly felt that his biggest political opponent was dead, which was not necessarily a good thing.

Those ancestral nobles are arrogant and arrogant, and they think very highly of themselves.

Wan Yan Xian also came forward to suppress it, and they didn't dare to mess around. Now that the leader of Hades is dead, the group of bulls and horses below don't know what to do.

Wen Du Sizhong said: "As soon as the slant also died, the ancestors had no leader, and they were co-opted by the emperor in a large number of past. The emperor held a meeting a few days ago, and wanted to accept the crown prince (the eldest grandson of Akuta) as his adopted son, and he wanted to let his own son be the country, and there was actually a large group of ancestral nobles who supported him. I can't hold it back, marshal, please bring the troops back as soon as possible. ”

This is the counterattack of Wu Qimai, the emperor of the Jin State, taking advantage of Wan Yan Xian's illness and death, and taking advantage of Wan Yan Zonghan to lead his troops outside, he unknowingly attracted a bunch of ancestors.

Moreover, there are very good reasons for adopting the crown prince as an adopted son. Lao Tzu is the emperor, isn't it natural to adopt the prince as an adopted son?

even wants his eldest son to inherit the position of prime minister vacated by Yan Xian's illness and death.

Wanyan Zonghan hurriedly marched back to Beijing, discussed with Wanyan Zonggan at night, and proposed to convene a conference the next day.

At the meeting, Wanyan Zonggan said: "Recently, the treasury has been repeatedly stolen, and even the wine in the treasury has been stolen. I sent someone to investigate in detail, and found that His Majesty the Emperor sent someone to steal it. What should I do with this? ”

Wanyan Zonghan said: "According to the law formulated by Taizu, twenty military sticks should be beaten!" ”

Wanyan Zong said: "But it's the emperor who steals the treasury." ”

"Is the emperor bigger than the Taizu law?" Wan Yan Zonghan asked rhetorically.

Wanyan Zong said dryly: "It seems that Taizu's law is still greater." ”

The two sang and harmonized, and Wu Qi was stunned, and the other nobles who participated in the meeting were also confused.

Wanyan Zonghan suddenly stood up, rushed to the front of the dragon chair, and pulled down the emperor Wu Qimai: "After beating the military stick, continue the meeting!" ”

"I'm the emperor, I'm the emperor!" Wu begged to buy was shocked.

What about the Emperor?

Theft of the treasury is still spanking.

Those ancestral nobles who fell to Wu Begging for purchase, looked at Wanyan Zonghan, who held military power, and Wanyan Zonggan, who controlled half of the court, and were so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word of opposition.

The dignified Emperor of the Jin Kingdom was really dragged out and spanked like this.

(It's over, I'm not a PAW team!) ）
