Xia Yuqing asked in surprise, "You've actually been to school?"
The middle-aged man said, "To be honest,"
"My ancestors were officials under the Empress of Western Xia."
"At that time, the Western Xia empress, dozens of officials, and thousands of commoners,"
"They were relocated here by the Liao Dynasty,"
"Disperse and settle them within a radius of 100 miles."
"Because of longing for my homeland,"
"We have all changed our surname to Xia."
"Is that your daughter?"
Xia Yuqing pointed at a young girl.
The middle-aged man said, "It is indeed my daughter."
Xia Yuqing said, "My surname is also Xia."
"You should change your surname back to your ancestral surname."
Officers on Shamen Island,
You can have priority in drawing lots to choose a wife.
Even if Xia Yuqing doesn't draw this girl,
Alternatively, with the commander's permission,
Coordinate with the selected person.
He was proud of being a scholar.
He looked down on ordinary village women.
This woman, however, suited his taste.
He was willing to exchange several months' worth of military pay for it.
Xia Yuqing reassured his future father-in-law by saying:
"Denlai has gold and iron mines,"
"You all know how to smelt iron and pan for gold,"
"You will not be mistreated if you go to Shandong."
"A woman who is already married,"
"I will not separate from my husband."
"Thank you for the reminder, General."
The middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If they continue looting like this...
Even if Wanyan Zongwang defends with all his might,
That's something you can't completely guard against.
The Jin dynasty is expected to order coastal residents to evacuate.
No one is allowed to live in the area within ten miles of the sea.
.....
On the banks of the Wuna River,
The city of Khatun is visible to the naked eye ahead.
Yelü Yudu, Shi Jianu, and Balisu,
He led more than 10,000 cavalry to attack Yelü Dashi.
Why was Yelü Yudu chosen as the commander-in-chief?
Because the Jin dynasty launched its military campaign in haste...
The army is not enough.
There wasn't enough military rations either.
They needed to leverage Yelü Yudu's reputation and connections.
Get the various tribes of the grasslands to send troops to cooperate.
They also provided provisions along the way.
Several cavalrymen galloped back.
He knelt before Shi Jianu and said:
"Marshal, Khatun is empty,"
"There's no one in the nearby grasslands either."
"understood."
Shi Jianu remained expressionless.
Yelü Dashi has already fled.
Where can one search in the vast northern desert?
Because they contacted the Ming Dynasty to jointly send troops.
Yelü Dashi launched his attack earlier than historically possible.
They raided and destroyed the Jin Dynasty's second northern battalion.
That was a stronghold of the Jin Dynasty controlling the Hulunbuir Grassland.
After being removed by Yelü Dashi
We can no longer effectively control this place.
They can only indirectly control the grassland tribes by bribing them.
The current situation in the Jin Kingdom is as follows:
Wu Qimai and the imperial court in Harbin,
Control the entire Northeast region.
Wanyan Zonghan's Yunzhong Privy Council
It controls the grasslands of Inner Mongolia and northern Shanxi.
Wanyan Zongwang's Yanshan Privy Council,
Controlling the Yanshan region and northern Hebei,
It can also obtain grain supplies from Northeast China.
Yelü Dashi eliminated the two northern battalions.
It was not the Jin dynasty court that was angered.
It was Wanyan Zonghan, who was based in Datong, Shanxi!
Wanyan Zonghan was enraged and raised an army.
He sent a message to the imperial court in Harbin.
He immediately dispatched elite cavalry to conquer the northern desert.
Elite Jurchen cavalry
Indeed, they were invincible.
Heading north, they were invincible.
However, the enemy cannot be found...
Yelü Dashi did not engage the Jin army in battle at all.
They even abandoned Qadin, the capital of the Western Liao Dynasty.
Chapter 1947 Submission
"Da da da da..."
The thunderous sound of horses' hooves rang out.
Yelü Yudu led over a thousand cavalry.
It came rushing in from the southeast.
He was the marshal who led the expedition against Liao.
When he met Vice Marshal Shi Jianu
He actually knelt down on one knee:
"Your Highness, all the tribes of the grasslands are willing to send troops,"
"But they say there isn't enough food,"
"We request the imperial court to allocate military rations first."
"Oh!"
Shi Jianu kicked over the table.
The anger that had been building up for more than two months,
It just kept coming out:
“I told them to give us food,”
"They actually made me allocate grain,"
Do you really think I wouldn't dare lead my troops to raze their tribes to the ground?
Yelü Yudu advised, "Don't suddenly attack and kill tribes that have already submitted."
"The grasslands may be in turmoil again."
"Is what they call submission?"
"During war, no troops will be sent, and no provisions will be provided."
"What use are they?"
Shi Jianu became increasingly angry as he thought about it.
He actually kicked Yelü Yudu.
"And you, constantly claiming you can subdue all the tribes,"
"But they can't even bring a single tribe to fight."
"What a waste!"
Yelü Yudu was originally kneeling on the ground,
He was almost kicked to the ground.
He dared not show his pent-up frustration and anger.
Instead, he took the opportunity to kowtow to Shi Jianu:
"Please calm down, Your Highness."
This prince consort,
He is Wanyan Aguda's son-in-law.
"Withdraw troops tomorrow!"
Shi Jianu turned and walked away.
