In the 18th year of Wei Wanchang and the 11th year of Liao Tianqing, the daughter-in-law Wanyan was born with a strong penis. Wanyanming was named by the silver angel of the Liao Kingdom and forced to "recommend a pillow mat" because of his newly adopted concubine. Wanyanming was angry and rebelled against the Liao Dynasty. His son

Wanyanming sent orders to all the tribes to join forces at Lailiuhe (today's Lalin River between Heilongjiang and Jilin). In early May, the Jurchen tribes arrived at Lailiuhe as scheduled. There were 2,500 sergeants. Wanyanming faced this small army.
The army adopted methods to boost morale: first, propagandize the justice of the anti-Liao Dynasty. At the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, he enumerated the crimes committed by the Liao Dynasty against the Jurchens and stated the reason for "accusing the Liao Dynasty". He stood on the oval
On a high hill in the middle of the platform, he made an impassioned speech to the soldiers, enumerating the sins of the Liao people. He said that the Jurchens "served in the Liao Kingdom, abided by their duties, pacified the Wuchun Rebellion, broke up the Xiaolihai Rebellion, and did not miss out on their merits."
, and the situation is getting worse... I will blame Liao now, and heaven and earth will judge and bless him!" This will encourage the fighting spirit of the Jurchen soldiers. The second is to "order all the generals to pass on the banner and swear an oath", swearing that "you will work together and do your best, and those who have merit will
The servants are good, and the common people are the officials. Those who have the official status first will be promoted. If you underestimate the merits and violate the oath, you will die under the ban. There will be no pardon for the family." It clearly means that those who have meritorious service will be rewarded and those who are guilty will be punished. Wan Yanming is the true birth daughter of a girl.
The Wanyan tribe was extremely powerful and had a reputation. This statement was extremely tempting and intimidating. After swearing the oath at Lailiuhe, the morale of the Jurchen soldiers was greatly boosted, and they marched towards the Liao territory. There was also a small episode, that is
The Dibu Nai tribe led by Lu Huo failed to arrive at Lai Liushui on time. In order to rectify military discipline, Aguda carried out military treatment on Lu Huo. Although it was only a hundred beatings with a stick, Lu Huo learned a lesson after being punished.
He took the lead in the war and performed very bravely. His performance in the Anti-Liao War was also very outstanding.
The first shot of the Anti-Liao War was finally about to be fired. As the saying goes: "In war, brothers fight, and father and son go into battle." On Wanyanming's list of generals for the expedition, most of them were his relatives and friends, including the Prime Minister Zacchaeus.
The eldest son Wanyan Hanzong, Wanyan Ming's clan uncle Wu Chu, his younger brother Wu Qimai, Wanyan Xieye, Yan's mother, the eldest son Wanyan Qianzong, the fourth son Wanyan Bizong, etc.
The Anti-Liao War was about to begin. Wanyanming led his 2,500 Jurchen warriors to march toward Ningjiang Prefecture. The young emperor Yelujun, who was happily hunting in Qingzhou, also received a message from the Northeast Liao Army.
The latest news about Wanyanming from the company - Wanyanming is preparing to attack Ningjiang Prefecture, but Yelujun does not pay much attention to this news. Firstly, he does not believe that Wanyanming dares to take the initiative to attack, and secondly, because of his lack of confidence in his Khitan warriors.
Very confident in ability
So he made a hasty decision and ordered Gao Xianshou, the governor of Haizhou, to lead his Bohai soldiers to the rescue. As the dignified governor of Haizhou, how could Gao Xianshou take the birth of a Jurchen in the eyes of more than two thousand people? He didn't even bother to do it.
This kind of thing happened, so he sent his heroic general Yeluxie to lead three thousand Bohai soldiers to Ningjiang Prefecture.
In terms of attitude towards the enemy, Yelvxie was much more serious than Gao Xianshou. After receiving the mission, this man marched non-stop to Ningjiang Prefecture. Yelvxie was very lucky. As soon as he entered Ningjiang Prefecture, he met Wanyanming.
Two Thousand Five Hundred Warriors As the saying goes, "The brave will win if the road is narrow." It stands to reason that this should be the time for the Jurchen warriors of Wan Yanming to show off their skills.
However, under the advice of his fourth son, Wanyan Bizong, Wanyanming made an astonishing move. He ordered the entire army to retreat back.
Yeluxie was really elated when he saw the Jurchen army retreating before the battle began. In his view, Wan Yanming's Jurchen soldiers were just a ragtag group of people. How could they compete with his own Liao warriors?
The great opportunity to make a contribution finally arrived. Yeluxie roared and led his men into the Jurchen army.
What Wan Yanming and his son want is this effect. This is their first war with the Liao Kingdom. What they need is not an ordinary victory. What he needs is a complete victory to completely annihilate the Liao soldiers and capture Ningjiang Prefecture.
Therefore, he adopted the strategy of luring the enemy deeper. Poor Yelushe was still in the dark. By the time he discovered that something was wrong, it was too late. The entire army had been surrounded by Jurchens.
The trouble began to show up at this time. The Bohai people in the army were just mercenaries of the Khitans. Historically speaking, they had the same ancestor as the Jurchens. Therefore, in any way, they would not be related to the Jurchens.
Real people are really risking their lives. After all, their lives are their own. The Khitans just treat the Bohai people as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
This was a bitter experience for Yeluxie. Although this man wanted to make great achievements, things went against his wishes. Facing the Jurchen elite soldiers who were not afraid of death, he found that the combat effectiveness of his army was really poor, and he soon faced the danger of annihilation of the entire army.
What was even more unlucky was that Yeluxie accidentally fell off his horse
Seeing a good opportunity coming, Wan Yanming was determined to capture the thief first and kill Yeluxie first. Once the general was dead, wouldn't the enemy just be able to capture him? When he found that his general had fallen off his horse, the Liao soldiers immediately went to rescue him, but Wan Yanming
It is based on the experience. Whoever rescues Yeluxie, Wanyan Bi Zong, who is disabled, will shoot him with a bow and an arrow.
Seeing that the situation was over, Yelu Xie mounted his horse and fled with his life. Wan Yanming would not let him escape, and hit Yelu Xie in the chest with an arrow. Although Yelu Xie had a low status, after all, he had the same ancestor as the emperor, so he was an authentic Yelu Xie.
The royal family, the breastplate on the front of the armor is not for viewing, and although Wanyanming is brave, he does not have the ability to pierce the heart with an arrow. Yeluxie only suffered some flesh wounds. After he pulled out the arrow, he continued to run for his life.
He was a dignified member of the Liao royal family and did not want to become a victim of Wanyan Ming's victory in the first battle.
But Wanyan Ming desperately needed Yelvxie's head to end the first victory in the Anti-Liao War. Wanyan Bizong, the fourth son who was only sixteen years old, bent his bow and shot an arrow into his back.
After several years of retirement, his martial arts skills were unparalleled in Liaodong, so Yelu Xie, filled with regret, became the first general of the Liao State to be killed since the Jurchens started war with the Liao State, and he was also regarded as his Emperor Yelu Xie.
Jun is loyal
Wanyanming's first battle with the Liao Kingdom ended with a comprehensive victory for the Jurchens. Although they only defeated 3,000 Bohai soldiers, its significance was far greater than that because this was the first time that the Jurchens fought against the Liao Kingdom.
After that, the Jurchens completely got rid of the rule of the Liao Kingdom. From this war, the Jurchens also clearly understood the true strength of the Liao soldiers, and established the belief that they would win in future battles with the Liao Kingdom. Wan Yanming became more and more confident.
I believe in the advice of the old man: the Liao people had their spines broken by Yun Shanshuai of the Wei Dynasty more than ten years ago, and now they only have a scary skin.
Zacchaeus, the Prime Minister who was stationed in Wanyan's Ministry, was ecstatic after hearing about Wanyan Ming's victory. He quickly sent his son Wanyan Hanzong to congratulate him, and also gave Wanyan Ming a suggestion. What suggestion? It was a request.
It sounds funny that Wan Yanming proclaimed himself emperor and fought against the Liao Kingdom. A total of more than 2,000 Jurchens dared to proclaim themselves emperor after defeating hundreds of Khitan people. You must know that the main force of the Khitan army numbered hundreds of thousands!
Sa Gai was a staunch supporter of Wanyan Ming in the Wanyan tribe, otherwise his son Wanyan Hanzong would not have become Wanyan Bizong's sworn brother. He was a very thoughtful person in politics. The reason why he was anxious
He persuaded Wan Yanming to proclaim himself emperor in the hope of establishing a Jurchen banner and uniting the tribes that were still scattered in the vast area of Liaodong.
But Wan Yanming still kept a clear head after winning the battle. To use a famous saying from later generations, it is called "the first step of a long march of thousands of miles." Proclaiming emperor like this seems to be too short-sighted for me.
So Wan Yanming issued the order "It is better to use the remaining brave men to pursue the poor bandits", requiring the entire army to march to Ningjiang Prefecture and immediately surround Ningjiang Prefecture.
, on the one hand he was so frightened that he quickly sent someone to ask for help from the newly appointed governor of Ningjiang Prefecture, Xiao Tianye, who had not yet arrived. On the other hand, he organized a death squad to break out of the siege at the east gate.
Wan Yanming's purpose was very clear, which was to capture Ningjiang Prefecture and annihilate all the enemy forces. Therefore, the death squad organized by Yao Shinu had just protruded a few steps from the east gate when it was surrounded and annihilated by the Jurchens. The death squad was completely wiped out, leaving only
Yao Shinu was a mere commander and fled back to the city in embarrassment.
Now Yao Shinu no longer had any illusions, so he had to stay in the city and wait for the reinforcements to arrive. But Wanyanming did not allow him to do so. He wanted to capture Ningjiang before Xiao Tianye's reinforcements arrived.
Prefecture, so Wanyanming issued an order to attack the city with all strength
After all, Ningjiang Prefecture is just a small town, and half of the city's defenders have followed Yeluxie to meet their Sirius God. How can the more than 400 people left be the Jurchens' opponents?
In early May of the eleventh year of Tianqing in Liao Dynasty, Wan Yanming captured Tianqing, Ningjiang Prefecture, the first city of Liao Kingdom, Tianqing?
The defense of Ningjiang Prefecture made Yao Shinu become a prisoner of Wanyanming, but Wanyanming did not kill him, but treated him with kindness and power, sending Yao Shinu to recruit nearby Liao soldiers to surrender. Therefore, in a strict sense,
It is said that Yao Shinu was the first captive and surrendered general of the Liao Kingdom since the Jurchens started war with the Liao Kingdom.
While conquering Ningjiang Prefecture, Wanyanming also took a series of effective measures after listening to Wanyan Bizong's opinions, such as sending Bohai people Fuhai and Oda to pacify the Bohai people, and sending general Wanyan Loushi to pacify the Liaoning people.
Through various means, Wan Yanming united the other ethnic minorities in the Liao Kingdom and laid a solid foundation for the future resistance against the Liao Dynasty.
Xiao Tianye only arrived at Ningjiang Prefecture the day after the fall of Ningjiang Prefecture. Before the highest official of Ningjiang Prefecture took office, the city was captured by the Jurchens. This was a great irony for Xiao Tianye
Xiao Tianye is the younger brother of Empress Dowager Xiao, and the cousin of Xiao Tianzuo, the king of Beiyuan. With such a background, he finally got a governor, but his territory was lost first. How could he not be angry? But even though Xiao Tianye was angry with Wan Yanming
He hated him deeply, but he had no choice but to do it because he only brought a few hundred troops with him when he took office in Ningjiang Prefecture, and he did not dare to confront the Jurchen soldiers with high morale.
But you don’t want to fight, I want to fight. Wanyanming in Ningjiang City has already discovered Xiao Tianye’s whereabouts, so Wanyanming led the Jurchen soldiers to take advantage of yesterday’s remaining bravery to fight out of the city. Xiao Tianye did not have Xiao Tianzuo’s whereabouts.
He has the ability to command and does not have Xiao Tianyou's impressive martial arts. At this time, he did not care about his noble family background. His choice was to "transfer to preserve his strength."
The news of the fall of Ningjiang Prefecture finally reached Yelu Jun's ears. Now he was no longer in the mood to continue his hunting activities. Yelu Jun couldn't help but be angry. What he was angry about was not that a small tribal chief could actually defeat his own regular soldiers.
The troops, it was not that Xiao Tianye, who rarely maintained a trusting attitude among his descendants, was defeated by a group of guerrillas, but... if under his "personal care", a small group of Jurchens could not rebel
If it is eliminated quickly, then his mother will have more reason to monopolize power regardless of the fact that he is the emperor. This is too much for Emperor Tianqing who is already thirteen years old, thinks he is an adult and has grown into a wise king.
Unforgivable!
"It seems that I have underestimated this Grand Master Wanyan. Since Wanyanming wants to fight against the Celestial Empire, I have no choice but to kill him mercilessly." Tianqing Emperor Yelujun put down the hunting bow in his hand and said bitterly
typical
Emperor Tianqing was about to take big action, but before that, he had to change the head coach first. Although he still believed in Xiao Tianye, his performance was really poor. He needed real Khitan warriors to capture Wan Yanming alive.
The guy who was not afraid of the wrath of heaven quickly issued the highest instructions for combat:
"With Sikong Yelu Minglei as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Road, Xiao Tianye was demoted to deputy commander-in-chief, Yu Hou Cui Yi was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and Xing Ying, the commander of Konghe, was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief. He led the Khitan Xi army of 3,000 people and went up to the Central Capital Imperial Guard.
Two thousand people, two thousand warriors from all walks of life, a total of seven thousand people rushed to Chuhedian on the north bank of Ningjiang Prefecture to annihilate the Jurchen rebel bandit Wanyan Mingbu in one fell swoop."
Yelu Minglei is the younger brother of Elun King Yelu Chilei, who was defeated by Yunzheng last time. His ability to lead the army in battle this time is also strongly recommended by his brother.
Wan Yanming, who won the first battle in Ningjiang Prefecture, was not dazzled by the victory, because he knew that in order to win the great cause of resisting the Liao Dynasty, it was far from enough to rely on such a small victory and capture such a small city.
After the main generals discussed it, Wan Yanming believed that in order to defeat the Liao soldiers who had an overwhelming numerical advantage, the Jurchens must carry out military reforms. Only reform can progress.
The name of Wanyanming's military reform was Meng'an Mouke. Meng'an was originally the military chief of the Jurchen tribe, Mouke, and the clan leader. Wanyanming redefined this title and stipulated that three hundred households should be considered as one Mouke.
, Shimouke was a strong force, and a military system with clans as the basic unit was established, which is equivalent to the current regiment, company, platoon and other establishments of the army, and Wanyanming also allowed other foreign soldiers to be incorporated into the tribe's common people
Serving the people in peacetime, serving as soldiers in wartime, and doing both production and war. This was a very advanced military system in the Jurchen society at that time, and it also laid the foundation for the rise of the Jurchens.
Before Wanyanming's reform was over, bad news came one after another. Yelu Minglei and Xiao Tianye led 7,000 troops to attack Ningjiang Prefecture. At this time, Wanyanming only had more than 3,000 people. They were fighting or defending.
A decision needs to be made immediately, otherwise the opportunity to fight will be wasted
Wan Yanming led the tribal warriors to victory many times in tribal wars, and this time they achieved another great victory in the first battle against the Liao Dynasty. Therefore, all the generals under his command trusted Wan Yan Ming. Wan Yan Ming made the decision whether the military reform was correct or not.
It needs to be proven in practice that the only way is to lead these more than 3,000 people to attack the 7,000 Liao army.
No one in the entire army raised any objection to Wan Yanming's order, because they all knew that the anti-Liao war had begun. As the saying goes, there is no turning back when the bow is fired, and their fate was deeply linked to Wan Yanming's army.
Together, the only way out is to move forward courageously
In early June, on the morning of early summer, Yelu Minglei's 7,000 troops marched toward Chuhedian on the north bank of the Songhua River, less than thirty miles away from Ningjiang Prefecture. Yelu Minglei looked particularly energetic and capable of leading this expedition.
Thanks to the strong recommendation of his elder brother Yelu Cilei, otherwise it would not be his turn. Maybe this time he can eliminate Wan Yanming in one fell swoop and achieve great success. By then, the status of his two brothers in the court will be greatly improved, and the status of the royal family will be greatly improved.
The prestige is expected to overwhelm the descendants' clan again. Yelu Minglei couldn't help but feel his blood boiling when he thought of this.
Deputy Capital Commander Xiao Tianye was deeply worried about Yelu Minglei's blind optimism, because he had already seen the power of the Jurchen soldiers. Although they brought 7,000 troops this time, they were twice as many as Wan Yanming's army.
But Wan Yanming is a person who doesn't play by the rules, and the outcome is hard to predict.
The commanders of the Liao army had their own evil intentions, and Wanyanming also began to take action. He led more than 3,000 Jurchen soldiers to march to Chuhedian overnight. Because Wanyanming was sleeping soundly in the camp just now, his head suddenly slipped from the pillow, and
It was three consecutive years of combat experience that reminded Wan Yanming that this might be a sign before the enemy was about to launch an attack, so he quickly gathered his troops and marched into Chuhe Inn overnight.
Wanyanming was truly blessed by the gods. At this time, the Liao soldiers, led by Yelu Minglei, had arrived at Chuhedian on the bank of the Songhua River! However, Yelu Minglei was not Wanyanming, and he seemed not to be blessed by the gods because when Yelu Minglei
After Lei rushed to Chuhe Inn, he ordered everyone to rest and cross the river early tomorrow morning. Facts have proved that this was a very wrong decision.
Yelu Minglei has his own theory and his own number of people
