Chapter 466: Seal the Wolf as Xu (please vote for me!)

...

In order to deal with the Daqian Dynasty, the grassland tribes on the Mongolian plateau, such as the Qiyan tribe, the Tata'er tribe, the Merqi tribe, the Kelei tribe, the Naiman tribe, the Taichiwu tribe, the Bachu tribe, the Huuli tribe, The Tuma Tribe, the Kyrgyz Tribe, the Onyisa Tribe, etc., convened by the Mongol King Boljijin Hebule, held an alliance. They adjusted the conflicts accumulated by the parties for hundreds of years and formulated the " "Great Mongol Code" and agreed to jointly resist the encirclement and suppression of the Qian army.

Subsequently, the grassland coalition forces, who were not used to being passively beaten, formulated a strategic strategy to rely on their strong mobility to defeat them one by one, and then took the initiative to attack the left army of the middle army, which they considered to be the weakest, that is, composed of Su Dong and Wang The [-]-strong army headed by Germany led by the Third Military Region.

As a result, this coalition army composed of 10,000+ prairie warriors was defeated by [-] dry troops.

Next, the grassland coalition army tried to attack other Gan troops, but unfortunately they failed repeatedly.

The reason for this is not because the ancestors of these Mongolian armies that can sweep the world in the future are not good at fighting, but because the dry troops who are already generally equipped with flintlock guns are not at all those who still use bows, horses and scimitars as their main weapons. The prairie warriors can fight against it.

In addition, this is also because Yue Fei, who formulated this strategy, did not use Huo Qubing's long-distance raids, rapid raids, large detours, large interludes, and annihilation battles. Instead, he strictly implemented the carpet strategy developed by him and Li Cun, which was to never Laojin advanced the camp step by step along the survival routes of the grassland tribes from three directions, annihilating and recruiting all the grassland tribes encountered along the way, and compressed the living space of the nomads with the force of a bulldozer.

The reason why Li Cun and Yue Fei formulated such a strategic strategy was because the strategic goals of the Daqian Dynasty and the Han Dynasty were different.

The Han Dynasty only wanted to eliminate the Xiongnu, a scourge that repeatedly harassed its frontiers.

On this basis, the Daqian Dynasty will also completely occupy the grasslands, including the farther Mobei region, and even occupy Siberia and the Far East, which have rich oil reserves in the future.

In other words, the Daqian Dynasty was not ready to leave once it arrived, and would continue to fight northward in the future.

The Daqian Dynasty not only planned it this way, but also implemented it this way.

Now, the Gan army is fighting step by step in the front, while nearly 2000 million civilians behind them are desperately building railways where they have passed.

——Li Cun planned to use railways to connect these places with rich aquatic plants in order to manage these areas in the future.

Li Cun also planned to build a railway from Yanjing directly to Kodun City, so that Mobei would no longer be separated from the control of the Central Plains, and at the same time, Kodun City would serve as a forward position for the Daqian Dynasty to conquer the Far East and Siberia.

……

In mid-August of the 19th year of Hongwu's reign, the Northeastern Army defeated the Tata tribe, which had repeatedly opposed the Daqian Dynasty and was known as the "Grassland Bandits." The troops killed 10,000+ Tatar men and almost wiped out the Tatar tribe, which had only [-] households at its peak.

Li Cun personally gave instructions to reward the women of the Tata'er tribe as prizes to soldiers with outstanding military exploits, regardless of their rank, only based on merit.

This incident greatly shocked the grassland tribes.

In addition, the grassland coalition army failed to win a single battle against the Qian army, and a large number of grassland tribes chose to withdraw from the Great Mongolian Alliance, which caused the Great Mongolian Alliance to collapse.

Immediately afterwards, many grassland tribes chose to surrender to the powerful and fertile Daqian Dynasty, accepted the split of the Daqian Dynasty into parts, and agreed to move to the hinterland of the Daqian Dynasty.

but--

In the early stage, only small tribes chose to submit to the Daqian Dynasty, while the larger tribes still resisted stubbornly.

Until Wu Jie defeated the Naiman tribe and Su Dong defeated the Kelei tribe, two of the five major tribal groups on the grassland also chose to submit to the Daqian Dynasty, accepted the Daqian Dynasty's split into parts, and agreed to move to the Daqian Dynasty. In the mainland, more and more grassland tribes chose to submit to the Daqian Dynasty, including larger grassland tribes.

By the end of September of the 19th year of Hongwu, the coalition forces of the Merqi tribe and the Taichiwu tribe were defeated by the Northeastern Army. Another five major tribal groups on the grassland were defeated by the Qian army, and the last five major tribal groups on the grassland were located in Xiping River. The Qiyan tribe to the north (the core of the Mongol Kingdom) was also surrounded by Ganjun.

Unwilling to accept defeat, Hebule personally led [-] direct steppe warriors to fight the Northeast Army in a decisive battle.

As a result, Hebule was not only defeated, but he was also captured alive in the battle by Yang Zaixing, the most powerful general of the Daqian Dynasty.

Subsequently, Qian's army surrounded the royal tent of Mengwu Kingdom and captured the royal court of Mengwu Kingdom.

After careful searches and checks by Zhang Jun and others, it was discovered that the second son of Hebule and the third son of Ertan, Boer, who was only four years old, were about to be arrested.

No one knew what Li Cun wanted a four-year-old child to do.

But how could Li Cun, the most powerful and greatest emperor in the world, explain what he wanted to do to the people below?

Moreover, the more mysterious Li Cun is, the more people think Li Cun is mysterious and unpredictable, right?

Let's put it this way, let's not talk about anything else. Just saying that Li Cun is thousands of miles away, and it is surprising enough to know that Hebule has a grandson named Boljijin Yesugei.

——Many people are even thinking that the Taoist priests around Li Cun are really worth their salt and can even calculate things thousands of miles away.

What's even more amazing is that not long after, the people sent by Li Cun to search for Hoelun actually found a man named "Olehu" from the Hongji tribe in the mouth of the Halaha River in the eastern Mongolian plateau. A one-year-old girl named "Olhuna Hoelun" was found in the "Nawud Tribe" clan.

These two children, along with their clansmen, were all sent to the capital.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Li Cun personally gave instructions to castrate all the grandchildren of Hebul, including Yesugei, to join the ranks of eunuchs, and to castrate all the girls of the Orhu Nagud tribe, including Hoelun. The people from the female tribe who were brought into his harem, and the people from the female tribe were all resettled in the prefectures and counties within the Daqian Dynasty, and the people from the male tribe were all sent to the Prince's Continent for resettlement, so that the people of the two tribes would never have the possibility of meeting each other. sex.

From the fact that Li Cun is so cautious, it cannot be seen that Li Cun is afraid of Temujin.

Of course, Li Cun also knew that his fear was actually unnecessary.

Because all the foundations of Mongolia in history have been destroyed by Li Cun.

——So far, all the five heroes on the Mongolian Plateau have been defeated by the Qian Army. The key point is that except for the grassland tribes who fled to Mobei, the other tribes have either been killed by the Qian Army or have been defeated by the Daqian Dynasty. It was split into thousands of parts and either moved to the interior of the Daqian Dynasty or to the distant Prince Continent.

Just imagine, a population of more than 100 million has been integrated into the more than 5 million people of the Daqian Dynasty, and some of them have been moved to the other side of the earth. What threat can they pose?

Another thing is that the set of tools that the Mongols used to conquer the world, that is, the traditional bow and horse, are completely useless in front of Ganjun. It can even be said that the military strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

This is also the main reason why the Gan army has almost no defeat after entering the grassland.

Under such hellish difficulty, even if Temujin could be born smoothly, it would be absolutely impossible to create the great Mongol Empire in history.

but--

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

No one knows Temujin's horror better than Li Cun.

Therefore, Li Cun will never leave a powerful enemy like Temujin to his descendants.

——Later, Li Cun, who was still worried, found an excuse to execute him, and then he kept Hoelun by his side all day long, making Hoelun inseparable from him. Later, when Hoelun grew up, Simply accept Hoelun and avoid future troubles forever.However, this is all a story for another day.

……

After wiping out all the Mongolian tribes on the Monan grassland, the attack was suspended due to the weather and the fact that the Daqian Dynasty had to build a more than 700 kilometers long railway in the Gobi to ensure the supply of grain, grass, baggage, weapons and equipment for the Qian army. The remaining forces of the grassland tribes in Mobei.

Of course, this is just a military aspect.

In fact, in terms of diplomacy, the Daqian Dynasty has sent people into the grassland many times, even to Mobei, to establish contact with the grassland tribes, lobby the grassland tribes to surrender to the Daqian Dynasty, and accept the split and relocation of the Daqian Dynasty.

At present, in addition to those grassland tribes who have newly fled to Mobei, Dahuang Shiwei, Di La, Wang Jila, Chachi La, Yexi, Bigude, Nila, Dalagaai, Damili, Mirji Many small grassland tribes originally in Mobei, such as the , Hezhu, Wuguli, Zubu, Pusuwan, Tanggu, Humusi, Xide, Jiuerbi, etc., have already made contact with the Daqian Dynasty, and Some of these tribes have made it clear that they are willing to become vassals of the Daqian Dynasty, and are even willing to accept the split and relocation of the Daqian Dynasty.

The reason why the Daqian Dynasty successfully brought so many tribes in the Mobei Grassland to surrender was not only because the Daqian Dynasty was too powerful for these small tribes in the Mobei Grassland to resist, but also because these tribes in the Mobei Grassland could not resist. The small tribe has become leaderless and scattered.

Back then, when Li Cun occupied Yanjing and forced Xiao Puxian's daughter to lead the soldiers and civilians of Bei Liao to surrender, and made Xiao Puxian's daughter his concubine, he once announced the demise of Bei Liao.

Later, after Yelu Yanxi was captured by Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing, Li Cun even announced the demise of the Liao Empire.

But in fact, not only the Daliao Empire has not been completely destroyed so far, but also the Northern Liao Empire has not been completely destroyed.

When Li Cun took over the Yanyun area, some Liao people in the Yanyun area who were loyal to the Liao Empire did not surrender to Li Cun's rule. Instead, they chose to leave the Yanyun area and then went to join Yang Zaixing and Yao who had not yet been conquered. Xing captured Yelu Yanxi.

Later, when Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing captured the entire Yelu Yanxi clan, a fish actually slipped through the net.

This fish that slipped through the net was King Yelu Yali of Liang who went with hundreds of Liao soldiers to explore the way for Yelu Yanxi and others.Yeluyali, who was lucky enough to escape with his life, took a small road to Yinshan Mountain under the protection of Brother Te, the Taibao of Hard Village, and others.

In Yinshan, Yeluyali they met Yelu Dilie, Yelu Yanxi's former subordinate.

At first, Yelu Yanxi planned to cross the Yellow River and escape to Xixia.

Yelu Dilie felt that this was a dead end, so he urged Yelu Yanxi not to do it.

But Yelu Yanxi didn't listen to Yelu Dilie at all.

After his persuasion failed, Yelu Dilie took more than 1000 people and fled to Yinshan Mountain.

After the two groups of troops joined together, they supported Yeluyali and fled northward, and soon arrived at Dashaling.

At that time, Xiao Puxian's daughters had already given birth to sons by Li Cun, and Yelu Yanxi and the royal family and clan of the Liao Kingdom had also been sent to Nanjing and imprisoned by Li Cun. Therefore, both the Daliao Empire and the Northern Liao Empire had perished. .

In order to preserve the imperial authority of the Daliao Empire, Yelu Dilie, Baote's mother brother and others supported Yelu Yali as emperor in Dashaling.

Among Yelu Dilie, Brother Baote and others, some were from the Daliao Empire, and some were from the Northern Liao Empire.

In order to unite these people, everyone discussed and decided to let Yeluyali inherit the imperial line of Northern Liao.

As a result, Yelu Yali became the third emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty (the second was Yelu Ding, but unfortunately he never served as a real emperor for a day), and the reign name was changed to Shenli.

Yelu Yali is different from his father Yelu Yanxi. He is kind-hearted by nature and hates killing. Even if he catches a fugitive, he just tortures the prisoner's back or buttocks with bamboo boards and thorns. If anyone is willing to surrender, He would generously grant official positions to people from the Northern Liao Dynasty.

Yeluyali often said to his left and right: "If you want to be attached to Daliao, come here; if you don't want to be affiliated with Daliao, leave. Why force me?"

Because of Yeluyali's generous temperament and the lingering power of the Liao Empire that had lasted for 300 years at that time, Tabuye, the commander of the Dielie tribe, Tulibu, the governor of the capital, and Zhezhe, the governor of the Wugu tribe, led their tribes respectively. Come and surrender.

Slowly, more and more tribes came to attach themselves to Beiliao.

This caused the Daliao Empire to show signs of returning to its glory.

If the ruler of Northern Liao was a hero like Yelu Dashi, the Daliao Empire might have a chance of revival.

It's a pity that the ruler of Northern Liao was Yeluyali.

Not long after the Bei Liao Dynasty got better, Yeluyali became increasingly lazy and fell in love with bow-stringing and hunting, and had no interest in government affairs.

Seeing this, Brother Temu felt that Yeluyali was really too ignorant, so he bluntly remonstrated and wanted to wake up Yeluyali.

Yeluyali stopped traveling and took up some serious business.

But the blood of Yelu Yanxi, the foolish king, still flows in the bones of Yelu Yali. He is destined not to be a person who can achieve great things. When he governs the country, he is like a child playing house.

For example, when Yeluyali was on a patrol, he saw some of his followers who were tired and distressed, so he rewarded them generously.

It wouldn't matter if Beiliao was rich, but at that time Beiliao was so poor that he almost urinated blood.

Someone advised Yeluyali: "Our financial resources in Liao are now empty. Your Majesty is so squandering, how can you support the army?"

Yeluyali heard this and said angrily: "How can I get the gift without all the ministries?" He refused to listen to the advice of his subordinates at all.

For another example, Yeluyali ordered the herdsmen to transport salt and corn. As a result, people came to steal it. They discussed and registered the quantity and ordered them to compensate. Yeluyali set the value by himself without consulting the ministers: for each cart of corn stolen, One sheep will be compensated; three carts will be compensated for one cow; five carts will be compensated for one horse; eight carts will be compensated for one camel.

At that time, in the Northern Liao Dynasty, a sheep could not be exchanged for two bushels of corn, but Yeluyali used one sheep to compensate for a cart of corn. He did not understand anything at all, and the key point was that it did not serve the purpose of setting an example to others.

As a result, the people of Bei Liao began to steal the food from the Bei Liao court, and even robbed the food from the Bei Liao court openly. Anyway, even if they were caught, they would still make money.

Yeluyali clearly did something wrong, but he still stubbornly said: "What belongs to the people is mine. If we ask the people to pay full compensation, how can the people survive?"

All in all, Yeluyali is a pretty good person, but he seriously lacks the ability to govern the country.

Later, because Yelu Yanxi stopped hunting for too long, Yelu Yali was really worried about the hunting-loving gene that Yelu Yanxi left in Yelu Yali. So Yelu Yali, who could no longer bear the torture, decided to Went on a safari to Chachi Mountain.

In just one day, Yelu Yali hunted forty yellow sheep and 21 wolves, which was quite the style of Yelu Yanxi.

Because of the excessive amount of exercise, Yeluyali collapsed from exhaustion and died within a few days at the age of 30.

After Yelu Yali's death, Yelu Dilie, Temuge and others supported Liao Xingzong's great-grandson Yelu Shulie as emperor.

It happened that Wanyan Zonghan looted the city of Dun and left the city.

Yelu Shulie, Yelu Dilie, Te Muge and others then moved to Kedun City.

At that time, the Mobei grassland tribes who had been harmed by Wanyan Zonghan happened to be leaderless, so they all defected to their old boss, Bei Liao, who inherited the Daliao Empire.

After Bei Liao moved to Mobei where the Gobi served as a natural barrier, neither the Daqian Dynasty nor the Jin Kingdom, which was targeted by the Daqian Dynasty, could not take care of Bei Liao for a while.

Ordinarily, this is a good time for Beiliao to develop vigorously.

But Yelu Shulie was also a man with no ambitions. He didn't want to develop things at all. He indulged in women and went hunting every day, and he didn't want to revive the Liao Empire at all.

Moreover, in the face of the letters of surrender written to him by the Daqian Dynasty (including Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Pu Xiannu), Yelv Shu Lieli ignored them and just played and had fun every day. He was a complete replica of Yelu Yanxi.

Slowly, the people of Bei Liao could no longer stand rulers like Yelu Shulie.

As a result, a mutiny broke out in Duncheng. Both Yelu Shulie and Yelu Dilie were killed by the rebels. Brother Temu was also disheartened and stopped participating in worldly affairs.

What is even more deplorable is that the rebels who launched the mutiny were just angry that Yelv Shulie did not want to make progress and spent all day eating, drinking and having fun, and had no intention of usurping power.

As a result, the final rule of the Daliao Empire was ruined, and Mobei became a piece of loose sand.

The Liao Empire, whose territory in the past extended to the Sea of ​​Japan in the east, the Altai Mountains in the west, the Ergun River in the north, and the Baigou River in southern Hebei Province in the south, has completely become history.

In addition, the five major tribes on the Mongolian Plateau were all annihilated or defeated by the Daqian Dynasty.

Some smarter small tribes in Mobei simply chose to submit to the powerful and wealthy Daqian dynasty.

In the spring of the 20th year of Hongwu, Qian's army crossed the Gobi and came to Mobei. Then, with the cooperation of a number of small tribes in Mobei, they swept across the entire Mobei.

A large number of Mobei grassland tribes either actively or passively chose to submit to the Daqian Dynasty and accepted the split and migration of the Daqian Dynasty.

A small number of steppe tribes who were still unwilling to accept the annexation of the Daqian Dynasty chose to continue northward. They crossed the North Sea (Lake Baikal) and entered Siberia to compete with Kievan Rus for living space.

Yue Fei, Wu Jie, Han Shizhong, Su Dong and other generals led the Qian army to pursue them all the way to Beihai, chiseled huge rocks and erected monuments, then returned to Kedun City, and then climbed up Langjuxu Mountain to build an altar to worship heaven. The Daqian Dynasty recovered. The northern grasslands have completely eliminated the evil that had harassed the Central Plains dynasty for thousands of years...
