Five hundred and fortieth chapters end of an era(1/2)
?…
The twelve dragon grandsons have passed, and there are eighteen sons.
pity!
This Li is not that Li.
Li Ziqian planned for several years, and finally made wedding dresses for Li Yan. Because of Li Ziqian's deliberate publicity, Li Yan became the lord of Goryeo and encountered many resistances.
Of course, this is more important because Li Yan's strength is strong and has occupied most of the peninsula, while Goryeo and Taifeng, especially the latter, were not popular with the people.
In short, although there are some areas where the Goryeo Army or the Thai Feng Army are resisting each other, there is no suspense about Li Yan becoming the master of the peninsula.
Li Yan did not immediately promulgate benevolent policies, but liberated all slaves and conducted a public trial.
The first person to be pushed to the public trial was King Gongfu of Taifeng.
Over the years, Gong has done many evil deeds and is difficult to write.
Therefore, almost everyone asked Gong Fu to cut him into pieces.
Li Yan also hated Gong Fu. If he and Li Ziqian hadn't engaged in a sneak attack behind Li Yan, Li Yan would have entered the Central Plains.
So, although Li Yan hates torture such as cutting into pieces, it is still accurate.
This was a long cleanup, and most of the original powerful and powerful classes in Goryeo and Taifeng were affected.
The heads rolled, and blood flowed into a river.
After cleaning, the two cities of Xijing and Kaijing, the bloody smell has not dissipated for more than a month.
After this cleaning, eight or nine out of ten powerful people in Goryeo and Taifeng were cleared, and there were more than 200,000 people who needed labor reform alone. The camp prostitutes that had been missing were finally no longer lacking.
From this we can see that Li Yan's hatred for Goryeo and Taifeng.
By the way, during this process, more than 200 beauties were sent to Li Yan's palace.
Among them are Wang Kai's Queen Li and Princess Li, the queen whom Gong Fu had just taken over, Gong Fu's more than a dozen young and beautiful concubines, Gong Fu's five daughters, Taku Junjing's two daughters, the wives, concubines, daughters, sisters of the former guilty ministers of Goryeo and Taifeng, and the beauties selected through the talent show.
In short, those who want to please Li Yan do their best to help Li Yan find beauties.
This is what the winner deserves, and it is also the filial piety of the ministers. How could Li Yan refuse?
However, because there are too many beauties, Li Yan's energy is no longer on the beauties. Anyway, he has too much energy, but he focuses on his career and only regards beauty as a seasoning in life.
After the great purge, Li Yancai promulgated a series of benevolent policies to wipe out the rebellious Goryeo and Taifeng troops that were still resisting, and Zhu Wu was responsible. Li Yan mainly focused on post-war reconstruction and restoration.
Someone suggested that the capital be led to Xijing, because it was the center of Li Yan's territory.
but
Li Yan thought about it and rejected the proposal.
At present, the peninsula has just been settled and needs to be recuperated, especially the two counties of Xuanzhuang and Lintun, which really need to be well managed.
If you want to manage it, you will be inseparable from money and food.
So, it’s better to save a little.
Moreover, Li Yan never thought of settling on this peninsula forever.
...
After Xiao Gan escaped, he returned from Pingzhou to his hometown Jianzhao Mountain.
This is the base of the Xi people.
Xiao Gan changed the lobby of the original Xi Wang Mansion to "Tiewa Wulong Hall", and established the Daxi Empire here, proclaimed himself the "Sacred Emperor of Xi Kingdom" and changed the reign to "Tianfu".
Politically, Xiao Gan established the three Privy Councils of Xi, Han and Bohai, which were in charge of the affairs of the three tribes, and changed the East and West Jiedushi to the Two Kings and established officials in the branch office;
Economically, Xiao Gan casts the "Tianfu Tongbao" coins and circulates them;
In terms of ethnic policy, Xiao Gan implemented a policy of hating the Khitan tribes, constantly attacking the Khitan tribes and looting the Khitan people and livestock.
When the country was first established, Xiao Gan's army once grew to 70,000 to 80,000, which attracted the attention of Wanyan Aguda. Wanyan Aguda sent envoys to surrender many times, but they were all rejected by Xiao Gan.
The Xi people were originally an independent nation, originated in the late Han Dynasty and were of the same race as the Khitan.
After the founding of the Khitan Kingdom by Yelu Abaoji, the tribes of the Xi tribe gradually surrendered and became subordinates of the Liao Kingdom.
Later, the Xi people intermarried with the Liao people for generations, and they changed their surname to Xiao.
As King Xi and the leader of the Xi tribe, Xiao Gan hoped to create a world of his own in the gap between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty.
This is Xiao Gan's dream and the goal that Xiao Gan pursues. Even if he fails in the end, he will never regret it. Therefore, he ignored the edict sent by Wanyan Aguda.
But how could the emperor be so easy?
This spring, a severe famine occurred in the Xi area. In order to survive, the Xi people began to flee one after another.
Xiao Gan was originally training the army in Lulongling.
After hearing about this, Xiao Gan felt that the situation was serious, so he decided to risk going out and lead his army south to find food.
Xiao Gan's first attack target was Jingzhou, which was a county under the jurisdiction of Jizhou. He just returned to the Song Dynasty not long ago, and the Song Dynasty was renamed Luanchuan County.
After Xiao Gan captured Jingzhou, he looted all the grain in the city and sent people to Lulongling.
When the news reached Yanjing, Wang Anzhong and Zhan Du were very shocked and quickly reported to the court.
Zhao Ji personally issued an order to resolve the threat of this remnant Liao force to the Yanshan area of the Great Song Dynasty.
After receiving the imperial edict from Zhao Ji, Guo Yaoshi ordered Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren to lead 5,000 troops to Shimen Town and occupy the pass there.
Shimen Town is under Lulong Ridge, not far from Xiaogan's base.
Pharmacist Guo wanted to cut off Xiao Gan's retreat first, and then fight him from the front.
What Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren did not expect was that Xiao Gan had obtained the news that Pharmacist Guo was preparing to attack him, so he quickly returned to the army and set up an ambush on the southwest road of Shimen Town.
Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren were defeated by Xiao Gan and fled in panic.
Xiao Gan took advantage of the victory and soon captured Jizhou. His troops came to the city of Yanjing and looted everywhere.
Xiao Gan's army was very fierce and threatened to cross the Yellow River and attack the capital of Song State Tokyo Bianliang.
For a time, the Song court had "hard feelings", and some ministers were even planning to give up Yanjing.
Tong Guan disagreed with giving up Yanjing, so he wrote to Wang Anzhong in person, and Zhan Du and Guo Pharmacist asked about the disadvantages of military affairs.
Wang Anzhong then ordered Guo Yaoshi to lead the army to attack.
Guo Yaoshi knew that Xiao Gan was cunning, so if he wanted to deal with Xiao Gan, he had to do something surprising to win.
Xiao Gan had a general named Yelu Aguzhe. He was very greedy for money. Guo Yaoshi knew him, so he sent someone to go to Lulongling quietly and spent a lot of money to buy him, asking him to provide information in time, find out Xiao Gan's movements, cooperate with him inside and outside, and find an opportunity to destroy Xiao Gan.
Soon, Guo Yaoshi learned that Xiao Gan's troops were out of Lulongling again and were moving around Yaopu Town.
Pharmacist Guo decided to lead the main force to fight to the decisive battle.
Guo Yaoshi's troops were divided into two groups, one led by Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren, and continued to march towards Shimen Town along the main road, cutting off Xiaogan's retreat; he led the other route to Hongzhuang and Xiaogang, quietly detoured from the west and headed straight to Yaopu Town.
After a battle in Yaopu Town, Xiao Gan was caught off guard.
Xiao Gan hurriedly retreated to Lulongling. When he walked to Shimen Town, he was attacked by Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren's troops.
Xiao Gan lost his armor and suffered heavy losses, leading the defeated generals to flee to Fengshan in a hurry.
Guo Yaoshi decisively ordered the entire army to pursue, and Changsheng's army took advantage of the victory and pursued Lulongling, and fought a decisive battle with Xiao Gan's remnants at Fengshan.
More than half of Xiao Gan's army were killed and injured, and his family, young and old, vehicles, and food were captured by the Changsheng Army. More than 5,000 people from Xi, Bohai and Han army surrendered to the Changsheng Army.
Moreover, the Changsheng Army captured Taishi Alu alive and obtained several treasures such as the title of Emperor Taizong of Liao Yelu Deguang, and the Khitan gold seal.
The ever-winning army won a great victory and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.
After Xiao Gan, his general Yelu Aguzhe, his nephew Yi Shi Bajin, his family slave Bai Dige and others broke through, they hid in the homes of the Xi people.
Xiao Gan was very sad about the defeat of Xi's army, but he still did not give up. He planned to lie on firewood and taste gall, keep a low profile, and make a comeback in the future.
However, what Xiao Gan didn't know was that his confidants were already desperate about the future, and the god of death was approaching him step by step.
In mid-August, a few days before Wanyan Aguda passed away, Yelu Aguzhe, Yi Shi Bajin and Bai Dige Ge after a conspiracy, took advantage of Xiao Gan's unpreparedness to attack and kill him.
A generation of heroes ended their tragic life like this.
...
Wanyan Aguda was grandly buried on the west side of the Shangjing Palace City of Jin Kingdom.
After the funeral of Wanyan Aguda, the national remarks were boured by Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Ang, Wanyan Zongjun, and Wanyan Zonggan led the clan relatives to invite Wanyan Wuqibu to succeed the throne.
Wanyan Wu Qimai refused to agree.
So, Wanyan Zonggan led his brothers to put the yellow robe on Wanyan Wu Qimai, stuffed the jade seal into Wanyan Wu Qimai's arms, and repeatedly asked Wanyan Wu Qimai to succeed the throne. Wanyan Wu Qimai agreed to ascend the throne.
Of course, these are all acting. It is not that Wanyan Wu Qimai does not want to succeed the throne, nor that Wanyan Zonggan and others are forcing Wanyan Wu Qimai to ascend the throne. This is just a form that the new emperor must take before ascending the throne.
Soon, Wanyan Wu begs to worship the heaven and earth, and immigrate the Chinese and foreign countries. The seventh year of Tianfu was the first year of Tianhui, which was the Emperor Taizong of Jin.
...
An era ends.
