Chapter 0920: The Fall of the Liao State
People often say that the heavenly family is ruthless, and the Yang brothers have tried their best to be affectionate, but they have never been able to achieve perfection.
Yelusi is the emperor of Liao, which he said in person in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty of Yan State.
Even if the Yang brothers have the heart to protect him, it depends on whether the people of the whole country are willing or not.
If it weren't for Yang San sitting in the Liao State Palace, even if Yan Tianzi slaughtered everyone in the Liao State Palace and argued in the Yan State court, no one would have been able to say that he had done wrong.
Yang San arranged for their family of three to go to Jeju Island to be poor people, which should be the best ending for them.
The regent of Liao opened his mouth several times, but he didn't speak.
His face was covered with sorrow, and at last it turned into a deep sigh.
The Empress Dowager Tiejing sat on the ground, her face was pale, and two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably.
Yan Guo took in Yelu Hei or not, she didn't care.
Yelu is her biological flesh and blood, and she would rather let her child stay by her side to live a hard life, rather than let her child go to Yanjing City and live a rich life in a different way.
The reason why she was sad was because the Liao State had died.
The Liao State, which once dominated Liaodong and suppressed the Quartet, died in her hands.
She gave up her skin and went to Yanjing City to pray to Yang Qi in person, but she still failed to keep the Liao Kingdom.
Under the general trend, all her efforts were in vain.
Jerothy stood there like a wooden man, with a bitter face, not knowing whether to cry or howl.
Somewhat dazed, he looked at his mother, and then at his father.
After getting no response, he looked at Yang San pitifully.
Yang San glanced at him with pity and did not speak.
Because Yang San knew that the little guy hadn't realized what he had lost until now.
At the beginning of the Yan Kingdom court, he just complied with his mother's wishes and said that sentence.
He didn't know that with the existence of that sentence, he would no longer have a life of fine clothes and food, and even lost more.
"Someone!"
Yang San shouted, and two black-armored soldiers entered from outside the door.
The black armor they wore was clearly different from that of the Fallen Prince.
With a glance, he knew who they were.
Three Wang Wei.
A group of soldiers brought back by Yang San from the original southern kingdom numbered less than five hundred, and each of them was loyal to Yang San and could fight well.
They are a group of people that Yang San trusts the most.
In the territory of Yan Kingdom, only Yang San and Yang Qi can command them.
"Send them to Gangseong, send the dark ship of the Supervision Department, and send them to Jeju Island."
The three Empress Dowagers of Tiejing were driven away from the Liao Palace in this way.
They took nothing with them, except for a few simple casual clothes.
After Yang San watched them leave at the head of the city, he returned to the Liao Imperial Palace, sat on the dragon chair that symbolized the throne of the Liao Emperor, wrote a long letter in his hand, and sent someone to Yanjing City to Yang Qi quickly.
There is only one item on the letter, that is, to ask Yang Qizhi to punish him for the crime of secretly letting the Liao royal family go.
Yang Qi will punish the crime, Yang San doesn't know, he just wants to spread the news to Yanjing City, so that the two old people in the harem who are already old can rest assured.
After finishing his personal affairs, Yang San also began to deal with official affairs.
Before the army could reach Shangjing, he had to carve out enough space for the army to garrison.
He did not have the right to order the soldiers and horses under the command of Yan Tianzi, so he did not expect Yan Tianzi to follow his orders and pursue the victory to recover the entire territory of Liao.
Shangjing City was ruined by the rebels.
The aristocratic mansions of the Liao State were looted by them, and even the ordinary people in the capital did not escape the catastrophe.
From the practices of the rebels, Yang San could probably guess.
The rebels had no intention of conquering the Liao State and establishing themselves, probably because they were afraid of the Yan State, so they were ready to grab a vote, so they took a large amount of gold and silver to join the Goryeo or Wa Kingdom.
What they didn't expect was that the pace of the Fallen Dumpson's attack on the capital would be so fast.
So fast that they didn't even have a chance to react.
Without much effort, Yang San found the place where the rebels hid gold and silver.
The ten treasury full of gold, silver and jewelry is about to catch up with half of the gold in the treasury of Yan State.
Grabbing a handful of golden gold coins, Yang San sneered: "In order to make up enough tribute, the royal family of the Liao State did not hesitate to endure the pain of expropriating from the people. But the king looked at it, and the nobles of the Liao State did not seem to be short of money. ”
The Yan Tianzi who followed Yang San hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "The same is true of the Southern Tang Dynasty back then......
"Oh, they are selfish and selfish, they only know how to live with gold and silver, but they don't know the truth that there are eggs under the nest. There are such a group of nobles in Liao, and the death of the country is inevitable. ”
After sighing, Yang San beckoned and instructed his guards: "Count all the total number and report it to this king, except for the rewards of General Yan Tianzi and the soldiers under his command, all the others will be sealed and stored."
Our majesty has given an order to this king, so that during the period when this king is in the capital, he will build the road from the capital to Yanjing. ”
"Those rebels who surrendered, as well as the remnants of the capital, are all organized into the wartime coolie battalion, let them all go to build roads."
Yan Tianzi pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The avenue of Yanjing City has not been completed yet, and the prince has built the avenue leading to Yanjing City in the capital, aren't you afraid that the hundred officials in the court will stop it?" ”
Yang San pursed his lips, "This king will build a wide dirt road first, who of them has an opinion?" ”
He couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head and said nothing.
Yang San used the captives to build a dirt road to Yanjing City, and others really couldn't say anything.
It's just that Yan Tianzi can be sure that the dirt road built by Yang San is paving the way for the construction of a cement road.
However, he had no intention of stabbing his guess into the court.
After all, the cement road is really as good as Yang Qi said, and he and the soldiers under his command will be the most direct beneficiaries.
Yang San sat in Shangjing City for a month.
He ordered the coolies of the wartime coolie battalion to demolish the messy buildings in the capital city.
Except for the Liao Imperial Palace, as well as some mansions left by the Liao nobles, all the remaining mansions were demolished by his order.
He replanned the land of Shangjing, and set aside a camp for the coolies to rest for a long time, as well as a camp for the arriving army.
The army, which was expected to arrive in a month and a half, rushed to Shangjing a month ahead of schedule.
After being idle for five years, when they heard that there was a fight, they all rushed to the capital as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Yan has always been very generous with the distribution of war spoils, so in Yan Kingdom, in addition to those wealthy families, the richest people are the military class.
For the soldiers of Yan State, fighting a war means changing their fate and making a fortune.
No one wants to miss out.
After Yang San reorganized the coolies, the capital became empty.
However, when hundreds of thousands of troops arrived in Shangjing, Shangjing was filled again.
Yang San, the marshal of the expedition to the north, after the arrival of hundreds of thousands of troops, can be regarded as worthy of his name.
The rebels in other parts of Liao have been bouncing for a month, and the rebels in other parts of Liao have already become a pot of porridge.
On the second day after the arrival of the army, Yang San issued an order to conquer the entire territory of Liao.
There weren't many impassioned oaths of conquest.
He had only one word to warn his generals.
"The road from Shangjing City to Yanjing City is too long, and it takes a lot of hard work!"
Hardly until Yang San said more, the generals under his command understood Yang San's intentions.
After Yang San gave the order to go out, they rushed out of Shangjing like tigers and wolves.
The leaderless rebels of the Liao State, in front of this group of tigers and wolves, had no other choice but to bow down.
Yanjing City.
Inside the Royal Palace.
Yang Qi pinched the letter of guilt sent by Yang San, and his heart was mixed.
Although Yang San is his brother, he still has an urge to scold.
"Are you a pig? Are you a pig? If you do it, you will do it, and what will you do when you say it. If you don't say it, everyone will think that it hasn't happened, and if you say it, this won't make it difficult for me to do it. I had to write a letter of guilt and put it on my desk. ”
Yang Qi shouted indignantly as he paced in the imperial study.
Chen Lin hunched his waist and followed behind him with a smiling face: "Your Majesty, the third prince is also respecting your status by doing this. Besides, it is far better for the three princes to come forward to resist this matter than to be dug up by the ministers after hiding. ”
"Do I need his respect?"
Yang Qi glared.
Chen Lin smiled bitterly, he felt that Yang Qi at this time was a little unreasonable.
"Please, please, let the enemy country and the royal family go privately, but it's a big crime to kill the head, can I still kill him?"
Yang Qi gritted his teeth and complained, and threw the letter in his hand to Chen Lin, "Take it to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and burn it immediately after reading it." A notice was posted to the outside world, saying that the Liao State was in rebellion, and the Yan State, as the suzerain, assisted the Liao State in the rebellion, but unfortunately, after the army captured Shangjing, the Liao royal family had been slaughtered by the rebels, and I was deeply saddened.
Yang Yanguang, as the marshal of the leading troops, has an unshirkable responsibility and is fined for three years. ”
Handle with care.
Yang Qi scolded fiercely, but in the end, he still wiped Yang San's ass once.
Chen Lin said with a smile: "Your Majesty only cares about the affairs of the third prince to deal with the royal family of Liao, doesn't he care about the war of our Yan army against Liao?" ”
Yang Qi said unhappily: "A group of local chickens and dogs, if they can't deal with it, what can I do with them." I might as well raise hundreds of thousands of pigs and drive the herd over to kill the enemy. ”
Chen Lin opened his mouth with a smile, shook his head secretly, and then withdrew from the imperial study and went to the harem to deliver a message.
If Yang Qi's words were spread out of the palace, he would definitely be said to be arrogant.
But what Chen Lin saw from Yang Qi was a strong self-confidence.
And it turns out.
Yang Qi's self-confidence is not unreasonable.
With the arrival of a good news report to Yanjing City, the territory of the Liao State was swallowed up by the Yan State at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fighting a war is not so much a chase.
The Liao people were already scared by the Yan army, so after the Yan army appeared, they didn't dare to resist at all, but ran away.
The Yan army was chasing after him while collecting the cities of the Liao State.
Occasionally, one or two tough ones were basically bombarded into slag by artillery.
He commanded 50,000 men and horses, armed with thousands of artillery pieces.
And hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the entire north are equipped with tens of thousands of artillery pieces.
On one side is a jungle of steel armed to the teeth, and on the other side is the flesh and blood of a broken blade and an old horse.
There is simply no comparison between the two sides.
The battle of Yan to destroy Liao took only ten days.
The once powerful Da Liao really became history after Yang Sanxun arrived at the Yalu River.
The news of the destruction of Liao by the Yan State on the tenth day spread to Dashu and Dajin.
The high-level leaders of the two countries are all clenched fists, hating the incompetence of the Liao State and the strength of the Yan State.
It was once the capital of the prefecture and now the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.
He sat on a dragon chair studded with gems in a bright yellow dragon robe.
The secret wounds left by years of fighting, when he got old, had a seizure together, making him look a little older than his eldest sister She Saihua.
At his knees, his knees were full of the children of the folding family.
Zhen Yuxun's cloudy eyes looked east in the direction of Yanjing City, and asked in a deep voice: "Yan Hengqiang, I can no longer see the hope of the Great Jin surpassing the Yan Kingdom. In the future, after my Great Jin, will you continue to bow your head to Yan Guo? ”
Zhi Weizheng lowered his head and said straightforwardly: "Father, my Great Jin can not have today, and I can't do without the support of Yan Guo." Besides, my Dajin and Yan Guo are in-laws, Yan Guoqiang is strong, and my Dajin is naturally strong......"
Before Zhi Wei finished speaking, Zhi Yuxun's beard was all open, and he roared angrily, "Confused! ”
"The Folded family is no longer the Folded family of the past, and the Yang family is no longer the Yang family of the past. We are royalty, they are also royalty, and the heavenly family is ruthless. In the face of the interests of the country, the in-laws are worthless.
The Yang family is now Yang Yanhe's reign, and maybe he can still read the old love and take care of me Dajin, but can you guarantee that his son and his grandson will treat me the same way? ”
Zhi Weizheng lowered his head gloomily.
Zhi Yuqing opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, he didn't know what to say.
Zhi Weizhong hesitated: "Father, why are you full of hostility towards the Yan Kingdom. Isn't the state of the two countries quite good now? ”
"Confused! Darn! ”
Zhi Yuxun said angrily: "Do you understand that in times of peace, all the books have been read in the dog's stomach?" This Great Jin Kingdom was obtained by my family. Do you want to give him away in the future? ”
"What do you want, Father?"
"What do I want? I want the Great Jin to be stronger than the Yan Kingdom, and I want the Yan Kingdom to bow to my Great Jin, not my Great Jin to bow to the Yan Kingdom. ”
Zhi Yuxun stood up tremblingly, and said in a heavy voice: "I tell you brothers today, whoever has a way to force my Great Jin, and whoever has a way to make my Great Jin no longer bow to the Yan Kingdom, my throne will be passed to whomever I want." ”
"That's it! You guys can get out! The royal brother stayed. ”
After the brothers of the Zhe family withdrew from the Golden Palace, there were only two brothers left in the palace, Zhi Yuxun and Zhi Yuqing.
Zhi Yuqing finally couldn't help it, he said suspiciously: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Why did you suddenly become hostile to the Yan Kingdom? ”
"What's wrong with me? You might as well ask your good nephew what's wrong with him. ”
As he spoke, Zhi Yuxun took out a letter from under the dragon chair and threw it to Zhi Yuqing.
Zhi Yuqing took the letter suspiciously.
Just one glance, and his eyes widened.
