    The soldiers and horses under Chao Yong's tent also detected the Jin soldiers heading south. However, Chao Yong's soldiers and horses were not as many as the Jin army, and their field combat capabilities were weaker than that of the Jin army, so they did not intercept the Jin army.  It was not until the troops and horses led by Dong Ping met that they sent Dong Ping to lead the vassal army to continue to pursue the Jin army.

    With Wanyan Zongwang and others deliberately giving in, Daliang soldiers and horses quickly captured most of the state capitals in Tokyo Road, while Wanyan Zongwang and others led the Jurchen soldiers to retreat into the Changbai Mountain area.

    In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, on January 1, Daliang built Liaoning Road, Jilin Road, and Heilongjiang Road, and at the same time sent Han soldiers north to station on the three roads.  Shi Xiu was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Liaoning Road; Zhang Qing was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Jilin Road, and Xu Guanzhong was appointed as deputy commander-in-chief; Liu Tang was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Heilongjiang Road, and Zhu Wu was appointed as deputy commander-in-chief.  Heilongjiang Road reaches the outlet of Huntong River in the north and the Tatar Strait in the east.  This territory was completely included by Chao Yong when he looked at the map. The area was twice the size of Heilongjiang in later generations.

    There are still many savage and untamable tribes on Jilin Road and Heilongjiang Road, so Chao Yong sent Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu to the two roads to prepare for a protracted war and completely assimilate the tribes.  Liu Tang's murderous nature, coupled with the bravery of his general Yang Zaixing, can predict the future fate of those rebellious tribes.

    The veterans from Daliang have served for three years, but the ranks of the 20,000 veterans from Liangshan are all above Dutou, but none of the first batch of veterans has retired.

    Chao Yong spent the New Year in the fourth year of Tianqi at Liaoyang Mansion on Jilin Road.

    In January, the remnants of the Jurchen soldiers fled into the Changbai Mountains. The vassal army forced the Jurchens to surrender at the Hesu Hall and then returned to the grassland road with generous rewards.

    The commander-in-chief of Prairie Road was replaced by Yang Zhi, the green-faced beast. Dong Ping was promoted to General of Zhenbei and became a staff officer of the Ministry of War.

    The staff system of the Ministry of War was prepared by Chao Yong to place some generals who had made great contributions. After all generals made great achievements, they could join the staff of the Ministry of War and participate in the decision-making of military and national affairs.  At present, there are only three staff members of the Daliang Military Department: Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, and Dong Ping.

    After the vassal army retreated to the grassland road, the Jurchen soldiers came out from time to time to harass various cities.

    Chao Yong could only lead Zhang Qing, Dong Ping, and Hua Rong to guard the city, waiting for the new recruits from Daliang to go north to take over the various state capitals.

    In February of the fourth year of Tianqi, something happened on Jilin Road that greatly angered Chao Yong.  The Goryeo Kingdom sent troops to occupy the Haolandian area (now the Hamhing area of ??North Korea, hundreds of miles south of the Yalu River).

    This area originally belonged to the Kingdom of Jin, and Daliang had already classified the area into Jilin Road. However, because the Wanyan Zongwang brothers led the troops and entrenched themselves in Changbai Mountain, this area is still under the rule of Wanyan Zongwang and others for the time being.

    King Wang Kai of Goryeo ascended the throne in the second year of Tianqi. He was only thirteen years old when he ascended the throne. He was weak-tempered, and all the power in the country was controlled by the powerful minister Li Ziqian.  The relationship between the two is complicated. Li Ziqian was originally Wang Kai's grandfather, and after Wang Kai ascended the throne.  In order to better grasp the power, he married his daughter to his grandson, so Li Ziqian became Wang Kai's father-in-law again.

    Li Ziqian has been in power for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will have different intentions. He spreads rumors of "Eighteen Sons and Generals" among the people and wants to usurp the throne.  However, the Wang family has been passed down for seventeen generations and there are some loyal ministers, so Li Ziqian has never been able to find an opportunity.  This time Daliang destroyed the Jin Dynasty, many people in Goryeo wanted to keep the border tight.  Don't bring trouble.  However, Li Ziqian felt that Liang had exhausted all his strength in reaching Liaoyang Prefecture, and he did not care about the defeated soldiers led by Wanyan Zongwang. He also wanted to take the opportunity to take charge of more troops, so he asked his subordinate Tuo Junjing to lead an army of 100,000 to invade and seize Hue.  Lazy area.  Fight all the way to the Yalu River.

    This is not the first time that Goryeo has fought for Haolandian. Long before the founding of the Jin Kingdom, Goryeo sent troops to invade the Haolandian area twice and killed the Jurchen tribe there.  They built cities, but they were all defeated by the Jurchen army.  After the Jin Kingdom became powerful, Goryeo had no choice but to submit to the Jin Kingdom.

    Brother Wanyan Zongwang only has tribes from three areas: Changbai Mountain, Yalu River, and Haolandian.  The Haolandian area was attacked by Goryeo, and brother Wanyan Zongwang also led troops to reinforce. However, they were afraid that Daliang would reap the benefits and did not dare to attack with all their strength. After fighting with the Goryeo soldiers for several times, they retreated to Changbai Mountain.

    Brother Wanyan Zongwang was indeed brave. With more than 10,000 people, he killed 20,000 Korean soldiers in a few battles, but he helped Li Ziqian eradicate his dissidents.

    Twenty thousand soldiers and horses are already too much for a small country. In addition, Daliang sent a letter of credence requesting Goryeo to withdraw from the Haolandian area. Many people in the country advocated withdrawing troops.  However, Li Ziqian felt that Daliang could not even wipe out Wanyan Zongwang's brothers, let alone attack Goryeo, and the border was a good place to eliminate dissidents. Therefore, he opposed all opinions and conscripted domestic men over twenty years old, as long as they were not selected as sons, they had to join the army.  Li Ziqian personally led 100,000 troops to reinforce the party member Tuo Junjing, and all the troops and horses of Goryeo fell into Li Ziqian's hands.

    After Goryeo rejected Chao Yong¡¯s warning, Chao Yong ordered 100,000 vassal troops on the grassland road to listen to his orders.

    The vassal army on Prairie Road does not need to be drilled. The men of each unit can fight as soon as they mount their horses.

    Dong Ping led his troops to destroy all Jin ministries and suffered more than 70,000 casualties.?Spreading it among dozens of tribes in the grassland would only cause the leaders of each tribe to feel pain for a while.  For the various ministries that are constantly fighting, the casualties are only slightly more than in previous years.  But this time, the ministries received a large amount of rewards and pensions. As long as there were people serving in the army, they could buy various daily necessities from businessmen from the Central Plains.  Whether the money is a pension or a reward, cloth and tea are indispensable to the ministries accustomed to death.

    Therefore, many tribal men took the initiative to sign up to fill the vacancies in the vassal army. Grazing cattle in the cold Mobei is not easier than living with swords and guns, and the tribe's supplies are basically in the hands of tribal leaders and a few nobles, who are obtained after joining the vassal army.  The reward is theirs.

    After a large number of Daliang merchants appeared on Prairie Road, civilians in various grassland areas could not resist the temptation of Daliang.  The aristocratic rule of various grassland tribes was greatly affected, but the leaders of each tribe also found that their cattle and sheep could be exchanged for more things, so they were not very resistant to this change.  Of course, they are afraid of Daliang's force.

    Bianjing, the legendary city that never sleeps, is the place that many tribal leaders dream about. This time, many tribes suffered a large number of casualties and received a large amount of pensions. According to the Daliang military system, dead soldiers can get land. Inspired by court officials,  Some small tribal leaders took the initiative to ask for land in the interior, and the entire tribe moved to the interior.

    The imperial court also agreed to the requests of these tribes.

    In fact, these small tribes also had a very difficult life in the grasslands. They were often exploited by the larger tribes and moved to the Central Plains. Although they were unfamiliar with the place, no one dared to rob them openly.  Of course, the more important thing is that the tribal leaders have enough wealth. They went to the Central Plains to enjoy the wealth.

    In short, the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the vassal army were quickly replenished. The greatest pressure was on the Ministry of Revenue, as many soldiers and horses were lost in the previous battle.

    March.  The soldiers and horses on the grassland road arrived at Liaoyang Mansion again.

    The Jurchens in the Yalu River surrendered. Chao Yong sent people to recruit Wanyan Zongwang brothers and the Jurchens in Changbai Mountain to surrender.

    The cold wind was still howling in Changbai Mountain in March. After the Yalu River Jurchens took refuge in Daliang, the number of troops under the command of brother Wanyan Zongwang was less than 10,000, and the Jurchens in Changbai Mountain had also begun to waver.

    Once the Changbai Mountain Jurchens surrender, they will have less than five thousand soldiers and horses under their command. These people are all Jurchens from the Wanyan tribe, and they are also the legacy left to them by Wanyan Aguda.  The Jurchens from other tribes all fled back to their own tribes before they fled into the Changbai Mountains.

    The three brothers discussed with Wanyan's mother for a while, and finally decided to lead their troops down the mountain and seek refuge in Daliang.

    Chao Yong also returned all the remaining women in Huining Mansion to them.  Even though the Jurchen tribe was not completely exterminated, this was one of the reasons why brother Wanyan Zongwang was willing to go down the mountain.

    Dong Ping could not wait to return to Tokyo. Chao Yong asked Hua Rong to lead 100,000 grassland road vassal troops and 10,000 Jurchen soldiers who had just returned across the Yalu River to wipe out Goryeo.

    Chao Yong took the Prince from Liaodong Bay and led the 20,000 North Sea Navy troops under Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi to go straight to the capital of Goryeo.

    On the endless sea, a huge fleet composed of hundreds of ships rushed towards Goryeo.

    In the center is the majestic Prince, with three frigates on the left, one on the right and one behind. The ships of the North Sea Navy are distributed further out.

    Chao Yong¡¯s plan is to destroy Goryeo first, and then wipe out Japan non-stop.

    One hundred thousand grassland vassal troops.  With 10,000 Jurchen soldiers and Han gunpowder, even though Goryeo had defeated the Sui and Tang dynasties, what awaited Goryeo this time was only genocide.  Field battle.  Even Chao Yong was unwilling to face the grassland tribes and Jurchen soldiers, and the Goryeo soldiers and horses were even more vulnerable.  Defending the city, facing the gunpowder of Daliang, all the fortified cities and the Great Wall built by Goryeo to defend the Jin Kingdom will become a joke.

    Chao Yong has decided their fate.  The Korean people will be reduced to slaves like the Yue Li people and sent to the Central Plains to work as mining slaves.

    The trend of the war was just as Chao Yong expected, and the Koreans had almost no effective resistance.  The army led by Hua Rong easily defeated the 180,000 troops deployed by Li Ziqian. Even with the home field advantage, the Koreans could not outrun the prairie cavalry.

    Li Ziqian was captured by the prairie cavalry before he could even escape to Xijing (today's Pyongyang).

    In addition to the beheading of more than 20,000 of the 180,000 Koreans, the rest were made prisoners.

    This time, the captives are worth ten guan, and the beheading is five guan. Compared with the tough Jurchens, the Koreans are more suitable as mining slaves.

    To Chao Yong¡¯s embarrassment, the Mongolian cavalry led by Hebule actually got ahead of the fleet and captured Kaijing.

    By the time Chao Yong arrived in Kaijing, Kaijing was already a sea of ??fire, with looting Mongols everywhere.

    After Hua Rong led his troops to defeat Li Ziqian's troops at the border, he ordered the heads of various departments to pursue the Koreans.

    Hebul led the Mongolian cavalry to show their strengthWith such rapid attack speed, they marched more than 600 miles in less than a day and night and raided Kaijing, which was poorly guarded.  The vassal armies of the Daliang Military System were not allowed to be equipped with firearms, but this could not stop the Mongols who wanted to snatch the spoils. The Mongols forcefully broke open the city gate and captured Kaijing.

    Chao Yong led 10,000 people from Wu Song's tribe to land in preparation for a surprise attack on Kaijing. However, as soon as they landed, they saw thick black smoke coming from the direction of Kaijing.

    Wu Song has been appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of Shandong Road. He is waiting for veteran Wang Huan to serve as the commander-in-chief of Shandong Province after his three-year term. This time he will join the North Sea Fleet as a marine.

    The army walked a few miles towards Kaijing and saw several grassland vassal troops.

    When the scouting horse in front saw the vassal army on the grassland, he stopped the vassal army who was about to run back to report the news and brought it back.

    Chao Yong saw that it was actually a prairie cavalry wearing the uniform of the Daliang vassal army, and asked the accompanying northern Han people to ask which tribe they belonged to.

    There is almost no one in the grassland tribes who can speak Chinese, and the translators in the vassal army are basically Han Chinese or Khitan people in the north.

    When he heard that it was the Mongolian tribe, Chao Yong couldn't help but frown, but he immediately smiled and said: "Okay, let them go."

    When several Mongolian knights heard the prince asking them to retreat, they immediately retreated and flew to Kaijing to report the news.

    Chao Yong took in many tribes, but required all ethnic groups in Daliang to learn Chinese, Chinese characters, use Chinese rituals, and wear Chinese clothes. Various half-bald and not-bald hairstyles are no longer seen, and all bald ones are no longer seen.  Wherever the beam hits, the campaign to exterminate religion will advance.

    During the Liao and Jin Dynasties, Buddhism was very prosperous in the Northeast. After Daliang took over the Northeast, it obtained a large amount of land from Buddhism and spread it all over the Northeast.  This allowed Daliang to calmly deploy the plan to relocate the people without worrying about disputes with the Khitan, Xi people and other tribes.

    In a large courtyard near the imperial palace in Kaijing City, a group of savages were guarding the courtyard, pushing several women around. As the savages pushed, the women's clothes were torn to pieces, exposing pieces of clothing.  Snow white skin.

    The woman¡¯s exclamation.  The man's rough laughter.

    A prairie ranger rushed into the yard and shouted: "Where is the Great Khan?"

    The leader of the guard who was playing a game in the yard hugged a woman, grabbed her plump breasts, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"

    You Qi cupped his hands and said, "The prince is bringing people to the city."

    When the leader of the guard heard that the prince was coming, he did not dare to delay. He pushed the woman in his arms away and rushed inside.

    Hebule was suppressing a woman from a Goryeo aristocrat to make a fuss. When he saw the guard coming in, he said while fussing: "What's wrong?"

    The guard leader glanced greedily at the beauty who was moaning gracefully below.  He cupped his hands and said, "The prince is bringing people to the city."

    Ignoring the moans of the beauty beneath him, Hebule got up, grabbed his clothes, and walked out while getting dressed.  He shouted: "Bring my war horse and go out of the city to meet the prince. Order the warriors of the tribe to be careful and don't set fires again, which will anger the prince. I will skin them."

    The savages also don¡¯t know how to appreciate the courtyard. In the exquisite courtyard, several war horses nibble on the flowers and plants cultivated by the Goryeo nobles with a lot of money.

    Hebule got on his horse and took a few guards with him.  Follow the knight out of the city to meet the prince.

    Chao Yong and his party were still two miles away from the city when they saw Hebule and his men galloping towards him. When they arrived, they got off their horses and cupped their hands and said, "See the prince."

    The military system of Daliang was not allowed to travel far from the city to welcome the enemy, but the vassal army did not implement this very well.

    However, Chao Yong also knew that he could not impose strict etiquette requirements on the grassland tribes, so he smiled and said, "Your tribe ran so fast, and actually arrived in front of the navy."

    Seeing the smile on Chao Yong's face, Hebule couldn't figure out what the prince meant. Before the army went out, Hua Rong was originally scheduled to lead his troops to annihilate the Goryeo army on the border, but Chao Yong led his troops to raid the capital.  However, he did not expect that the Korean army was dispersed as soon as the army met. Hebule chased and killed the Korean army for a while. Thinking that this expedition would allow them to take possession of their respective spoils, he led his troops straight to Kaijing.

    Although they don¡¯t know the way, there is a traitor from Goryeo who leads the way, otherwise his descendants will not be able to conquer Eurasia.

    After conquering Kaijing, they also obtained a large amount of loot, but this operation undoubtedly stole the crown prince's limelight, so Hebule was still a little worried.

    Hebule was also a cunning man. After thinking about it, he said: "The troops of Goryeo were scattered immediately. I was afraid that the Goryeo people in Kaijing would escape, so I led my troops to fight at Kaijing overnight."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Well, good job. You led the troops to attack Kaijing and made great contributions. I will grant you the title of Viscount Daliang."

    When Hebule heard that Chao Yong did not blame him, but instead gave him a title, he immediately knelt down happily and thanked him.

    Chao YongIf he couldn't get together, he led his troops to Kaijing.

    The capital was built very grandly, with 300,000 Dingfu spent. There were 22 city gates alone, but at this time, there was smoke everywhere.

    Although Chao Yong didn't like Goryeo, he didn't want to see this scene of burning, killing and looting. He frowned and said: "Let your people put out all the fires. No arson in the city is allowed. Violators will be killed without mercy."

    Hearing this, Hebule hurriedly asked the guards to pass on the order, and at the same time explained: "Some of the fires were set by the Koreans themselves."

    Chao Yong nodded and said, "You didn't enter the palace, did you?"

    Hebule hurriedly said: "No, I just asked people to surround the palace, and no one went in."

    Chao Yong nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well done, let's go to the palace."

    When Hebule heard Chao Yong's praise, he immediately opened his mouth from ear to ear like a slave who was praised.

    He is now extremely grateful to Chao Yong. Although he was a great Khan of Mongolia in the past, he only owned some cattle and sheep. He often had to fight other tribes for the pastures to feed these cattle and sheep, and he slept as rough as his own tribe at night.  A woman with thick hands and feet.

    Since he joined the army, he has eaten with food that he has never heard of before, and there are many more women to sleep with in his arms at night. He has bought women from various tribes, and he no longer has to worry about being snatched away by people from other tribes.

    After Daliang established the Grassland Road, although the tribes still had constant disputes and people often lost their lives, Daliang prohibited the tribes from attacking tribal camps.  There was a dispute between the two tribes, so they could only bring their soldiers and horses to fight on the grassland, but they could not completely eliminate the tribe.

    The palace in Kaijing was magnificent and even better than the old palace in Bianjing, but it was not as good as Chao Yong's palace.

    After the Qin Dynasty spent all its efforts to build the huge Afang Palace, the emperors of subsequent dynasties knew that there was no good end in wasting people and money in this way, and they rarely requisitioned people on a large scale to build palaces. Of course, the population base of the Central Plains was there, and it would be better to requisition some casually.  The power of a small country is great.

    By the Song Dynasty, the emperor was even more frugal and expanded the palace directly on the basis of the yamen, which was completely unable to match the wealthy Song Dynasty.  Of course, in the hands of Zhao Ji, the Song Dynasty did not have this regret. The Yanfu Palace and Genyue built by Zhao Ji with the help of the whole country can be said to be exquisite.

    The palace of Goryeo was much more exquisite than the palace of Yue Li Dynasty. This is not unrelated to the fact that Goryeo continued to send scholars to the Central Plains to study Han culture.  (To be continued)
