To seize the territory of the Jin Dynasty in the northern desert.
It was precisely because of Yelü Dashi's various actions that
This prevented the Jin dynasty from launching a major southward invasion this year.
The Jurchens realized that the Ming Dynasty was not as weak as the Song Dynasty.
It's impossible to take it down in one fell swoop.
Yelü Dashi was again making connections everywhere.
The Jin state must first consolidate and integrate the former Liao territories.
What are the consequences of not digesting territory?
When Yelü Dashi captured the two northern camps of the Jin state...
The Jin state ordered its troops to be dispatched to conquer the Jin.
As a result, the leaders of the tribes in southern Mongolia completely refused to cooperate!
This led to the Jin Dynasty's elite troops setting out...
Effective resupply was not possible along the way.
They also couldn't conscript the various tribes of the grasslands to fight.
The Jin dynasty launched a vigorous Northern Expedition.
They had no choice but to retreat halfway through the journey.
It has become a complete joke.
Xiao Wulila asked, "I've heard that the Ming Dynasty has killed or captured over 100,000 Western Xia soldiers."
"May I witness the might of the Ming Dynasty's army?"
"Sure," Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
The Liao envoy raised this matter.
They wanted to observe the fighting strength of the Ming army.
They were truly terrified of the Song army.
Zhao Yuan summoned Bai Sheng.
Tell him to take the Liao envoy to the military camp outside the city.
He then summoned the soldiers so that the messenger could have a good look at them.
Three thousand heavily armored guards
One thousand were taken to Huainan by Wang Yuan.
Today, the garrison is stationed in Jiangling, facing Zhong.
Two thousand left,
They take turns guarding the imperial city.
What was presented to Xiao Wulila was
Only five hundred heavily armored guards
Gu San was in charge of leading it.
These soldiers no longer use wolf-tooth rakes or halberds.
Instead, they were all armed with iron spikes and armor-piercing long spears for infantry combat.
There was also an iron mace on his waist.
Weighing only two or three pounds,
Used for close-quarters combat.
Gu San personally called out the commands.
Five hundred heavily armored soldiers moved with the ease of an extension of their own limbs.
They moved forward, backward, turned, and fired their guns in perfect unison.
They were even arranged in a stacked formation.
Practice wave-like attacks,
And to retreat while providing cover.
Laymen watch the show.
An expert knows the way.
Xiao Wulila, the first meritorious official in the founding of the Western Liao Dynasty,
They soon realized that those heavily armored guards were incredibly powerful in combat.
He couldn't help but ask, "How many warriors like these does your country have?"
Chapter 1769 Backwardness Means Invite Attack
Gu San had already received orders to exaggerate,
"Such a strong army is not easy to train."
"There are only eight thousand people now."
"The south is not yet pacified,"
"Five thousand of them were sent to the southern battlefield."
"The rest will remain in Tokyo to protect the Imperial City."
"Eight thousand people is not a small number,"
Xiao Wulila asked again,
"Besides that, does your country have a strong military?"
Gu San then sent over three thousand people who had practiced the Mandarin Duck Formation.
"Our Great Ming Dynasty has more than 100,000 such troops."
The three thousand people in front of them
Not wearing heavy infantry armor,
However, their armor should not be underestimated.
They were all dressed in lamellar armor and wore helmets.
The full set of armor weighs approximately 28 kilograms.
We're almost at the threshold of heavy armor.
Gu San was also bragging.
The entire Mandarin Duck Formation troops were equipped with this type of armor.
In reality, there are only about 30,000 to 40,000 people.
Many troops were also wearing light armor.
Waiting patiently for my outfit to change.
At present, all we can do is completely eliminate paper armor.
The training ground was deliberately designed with rugged terrain.
They even used wooden planks to stand up and imitate alleyways.
The three thousand soldiers were divided into two groups.
One thousand of them stood on a small mound.
They formed battle formations in rugged terrain.
The other two thousand used conventional weapons.
Encirclement and attack from both sides
However, they were unable to break through the Mandarin Duck Formation.
Then, in the alleyway made of wooden planks,
Fight in squads.
Xiao Wuli exclaimed in surprise, "Such a formation is of little use on an open battlefield."
"Yet they can be invincible in the mountains and within the city!"
Gu San then said, "Our Great Ming still has more than 30,000 cavalrymen."
"He was sent to fight against the Western Xia and the Jin Dynasty."
Xiao Wulila exclaimed, "No wonder the Ming Dynasty was able to defeat the Song Dynasty!"
"Another great victory over Western Xia,"
"It even forced the Jin Dynasty to withdraw its troops."
"Wait until I return to Khatun,"
"I will certainly inform the Great Khan."
"Wait until the Liao Kingdom recovers its lost territories,"
"Let's follow the example of the Liao-Song alliance of yesteryear,"
"May our two countries be brothers forever."
Gu San said, "King Liang said,"
"The Ming Dynasty will not submit to the Ming, will not pay tribute, and will not engage in marriage alliances."
"These are the 'Three Nos of the Ming Dynasty'."
"The Liao Kingdom wants annual tribute,"
"That is impossible."
“The annual tribute will naturally be invalidated,” Xiao Wulila chuckled.
.....
Shi Qian hurriedly walked towards the Grand Marshal's Mansion.
The gatekeeper immediately bowed upon seeing him.
They did not make any obstructive actions.
Passing through the porch,
Until they reached Zhao Yuan's office,
Only then did the on-duty guard say,
"Mr. Shi, please wait a moment."
"I will go in and report immediately."
Shi Qian said, "I have important matters to report."
The guard on duty heard this.
They even skipped the notification.
Just put him in.
He was led by a eunuch to see Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan put down his brush and asked,
"What's the urgent report from?"
Shi Qian smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is a joyous occasion!"
