...

There are twelve grandsons of the dragon, and there are eighteen sons.

pity!

This Li is not that Li.

Li Ziqian planned for several years, and finally made a wedding dress for Li Yan - because of Li Ziqian's deliberate propaganda, Li Yan became the lord of Goryeo, and he encountered a lot of resistance.

Of course, the main reason for this is that Li Yan is powerful and has already occupied most of the peninsula, while Goryeo and Tae Bong, especially the latter, were not popular with the people.

All in all, although there are still some areas where the Koryo Army or the Taifeng Army are resisting, there is no suspense for Li Yan to become the master of the peninsula.

Li Yan did not promulgate the benevolent government immediately, but first liberated all slaves and maidservants, and held a wave of public trials.

And the first one to be brought to the public trial was Taifeng Wang Gongfu.

In these years, Gongfu has committed many evils, too numerous to describe.

Therefore, almost everyone requested that the bow be hacked into pieces.

Li Yan also hated Gong Fu. If he and Li Ziqian hadn't staged a sneak attack behind Li Yan's back, Li Yan would have taken over the Central Plains.

Therefore, even though Li Yan hated the torture of cutting him into pieces by a thousand swords, it was still accurate.

This was a long process of cleaning up, and most of the original elites in Goryeo and Taebong were affected.

Heads rolled and blood flowed like rivers.

After cleaning the two cities of Xijing and Kaijing, the smell of blood has not dissipated for more than a month.

After this cleanup, nine out of ten of the nobles in Goryeo and Taepong were eliminated, and there were only 10,000+ people who needed to be reformed through labor. The lack of prostitutes was finally no longer lacking.

It can be seen from this that Li Yan hated Goryeo and Tae Bong.

By the way, during this process, more than 200 beauties were sent to Li Yan's palace.

Among them are Wang Kai's Queen Li and Princess Li, Gong Fu's newly married queen, more than a dozen young and beautiful concubines of Gong Fu, five daughters of Gong Fu, two daughters of Tuo Junjing, Yuan Gaoli and The wives, daughters, sisters of the guilty ministers of Taifeng, as well as the beauties selected through the draft.

In short, those who want to please Li Yan try their best to find beautiful women for Li Yan.

This is what the victor deserves, and it is also the filial piety of the courtiers. How could Li Yan refuse?

However, because there are too many beauties, Li Yan's energy is no longer on beauties. Anyway, there are so many beauties. Instead, he mainly focuses on his career, and only regards beauties as the seasoning agent in life.

After the Great Cleansing, Li Yancai promulgated a series of benevolent policies - Zhu Wu was in charge of the extermination of the Koryo and Taifeng rebels who were still resisting, and Li Yan mainly focused on post-war reconstruction and recuperation.

Someone suggested that the capital be brought to Xijing, because that is the center of Li Yan's territory.

but--

Li Yan thought about it and rejected the proposal.

At present, the peninsula has just been established and needs to recuperate, especially the two counties of Xuanju and Lintun, which really need to be well managed.

And if you want to govern, you need money and food.

So, save as much as you can.

Moreover, Li Yan never thought of settling on this peninsula forever.

……

After Xiao Qian escaped, he returned from Pingzhou to his hometown, Arrow Mountain (the later Zu Mountain in Qinglong Manchu Autonomous County, Hebei Province).

This is the base of the Xi people.

Xiao Qian renamed the original hall of King Xi's Mansion "Tiewa Wulong Hall", established the Daxi Empire here, established himself as "the Holy Emperor of Xi Kingdom", and changed its name to "Tianfu".

Politically, Xiao Qian set up the Privy Council of Xi, Han, and Bohai to take charge of the affairs of the three tribes, and changed the Eastern and Western Jiedu envoys into two kings, who were divided into divisions and officials;

Economically, Xiao Qian minted "Tianfu Tongbao" money and circulated it in Xidi;
In terms of ethnic policy, Xiao Qian pursued a policy of hating the Khitan tribe, constantly attacking the Khitan tribe, and plundering the Khitan tribe's people and animals.

When the country was first established, Xiao Qian's army once grew to 8 or [-] people, which attracted the attention of Wanyan Aguda. Wanyan Aguda sent envoys to surrender many times, but Xiao Qian refused.

The Xi nationality was originally an independent nation, which originated in the late Han Dynasty and was of the same race as the Khitan.

After Yelu Abaoji, Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, established the Khitan Kingdom, the various tribes of the Xi people gradually became affiliated to the Liao Kingdom.

Later, Xi people intermarried with Liao people for generations, and they all changed their surname to Xiao.

As the king of Xi, as the leader of the Xi people, Xiao Qian very much hoped to create a world of his own in the gap between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty.

This is Xiao Qian's dream, and also the goal that Xiao Qian pursues. Even if he fails in the end, he will never regret it. Therefore, he completely ignores the imperial edict sent by Wanyan Aguda.

But why is it so easy to be an emperor?

In the spring of this year, there was a severe famine in the area of ​​the Xi people. In order to survive, the Xi people began to flee.

Xiao Qian was training the army at Lulongling.

After hearing about this incident, Xiao Qian felt that the situation was very serious, so he decided to venture out of the mountains and lead his army south to search for food.

Xiao Qian's first offensive target was Jingzhou (later Zunhua City, Hebei). Jingzhou was a county under the jurisdiction of Jizhou. It had just returned to the Song Dynasty not long ago, and the Song Dynasty was renamed Luanchuan County.

After Xiao Qian captured Jingzhou, he looted all the food in the city and sent people to transport it to Lulongling.

When the news reached Yanjing, Wang Anzhong and Zhan Du were shocked and quickly reported it to the court.

Zhao Ji personally decreed that the front line must solve the threat of the remnant Liao forces to the Yanshan area of ​​the Great Song Dynasty.

After receiving Zhao Ji's imperial decree, Guo Yaoshi ordered Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren to lead [-] troops each to Shimen Town and occupy the key pass there.

Shimen Town is at the foot of Lulong Ridge, not far from Xiao Qian's base.

Guo Yaoshi wanted to cut off Xiao Qian's retreat first, and then fight him head-on.

What Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren didn't expect was that Xiao Qian had already received the news that Guo Yaoshi was going to attack him, so he quickly returned to his army and set up an ambush on the roadside southwest of Shimen Town.

Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren were therefore defeated by Xiao Qian and fled in despair.

Taking advantage of the victory, Xiao Qian marched forward, and soon captured Jizhou (later Jixian County, Tianjin).

Xiao Qian's troops were so sharp that he threatened to cross the Yellow River and attack Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

For a while, the Song court was "threatening", and some ministers were even planning to abandon Yanjing.

Tong Guan did not agree to give up Yanjing, so he personally wrote to Wang Anzhong, Zhan Du and Guo Yaoshi to complain about the unfavorable military situation.

Wang Anzhong then ordered Guo Yaoshi to lead the army to attack in person.

Guo Yaoshi knew that Xiao Qian was cunning, so if he wanted to deal with Xiao Qian, he had to use a surprise to win.

One of Xiao Qian's generals, named Yelu Aguzhe, was very greedy for money. Guo Yaoshi knew him, so he sent someone to Lulongling quietly, paid a lot of money to bribe him, and asked him to provide timely information to find out Xiao Qian's movements. The inside should cooperate with the outside, looking for an opportunity to destroy Xiao Qian.

Soon, Yaoshi Guo learned that Xiao Qian had left Lulong Ridge again and was active in the area around Yaopu Town.

Guo Yaoshi decided to lead the main force to the decisive battle.

Guo Yaoshi divided his troops into two groups, one led by Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren, continued to march towards Shimen Town along the main road, cutting off Xiao Qian's retreat;

In the battle of Yaopu Town, Xiao Qian was caught off guard.

Xiao Qian hurriedly retreated to Lulongling, and when he reached Shimen Town, he was flanked by Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren's troops.

Xiao Qian threw away his helmet and armor, and suffered heavy losses. He led the remnants of the defeated generals and fled to Fengshan in a hurry.

Guo Yaoshi resolutely ordered the whole army to pursue, and Changsheng's army took advantage of the victory to chase after Lulongling all the way, and fought a decisive battle with Xiaoqian's remnants at Fengshan.

More than half of Xiao Qian's army and horses were killed or injured, and the military's family members, young and old, vehicles, and food were all captured by the Changsheng Army. More than [-] people from the Xi, Bohai, and Han armies surrendered to the Changsheng Army.

Moreover, the Ever Victorious Army also captured Grand Master Alu alive, and obtained a number of treasures such as the Liao Taizong Yelude Guangzun and the Khitan painted gold seal.

The ever victorious army won a complete victory, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

After breaking through the siege, Xiao Qian and his general Yelu Aguzhe, his nephew Yishi Bajin, his slave Baidige and others hid in the homes of the people of the Xi clan.

Xiao Qian was very sad about Xi Jun's defeat, but he still didn't give up. He planned to try his best, hide his strength and bide his time, and make a comeback in the future.

However, what Xiao Qian didn't know was that his cronies were already desperate for the future, and the god of death was approaching him step by step.

In mid-August, a few days before Wanyan Aguda's death, Yelu Aguzhe, Yishi Bajin and Baidige conspired to kill Xiao Qian by taking advantage of his surprise.

A generation of heroes ended their tragic life in this way.

……

Wanyan Aguda was solemnly buried on the west side of the palace city of Shangjing in the Kingdom of Jin.

After the funeral of Wanyan Aguda was held, the national opinion was extremely popular. Wanyan Gao, Yun Wang Wanyan Ang, Wanyan Zongjun, and Wanyan Zonggan led their relatives to invite Wanyan Wu to beg for the throne.

Wanyan Wu begged to buy and refused.

Therefore, Wanyan Zongqian led his younger brothers to put the yellow robe on Wanyan Wuqimai's body, stuffed the jade seal into Wanyan Wuqimai's arms, and repeatedly asked Wanyan Wuqimai to succeed him, and Wanyan Wuqimai agreed to ascend the throne .

Of course, these are all acting. It is not that Wanyan Wu Qimai does not want to succeed, nor is it that Wanyan Zongqian and others are forcing Wanyan Wu Qimai to ascend the throne. This is just a form that the new emperor must go before ascending the throne.

Soon, Wanyan Wu begged to buy and worship heaven and earth, amnesty China and foreign countries, and changed the seventh year of Tianfu to the first year of Tianhui, which was Jin Taizong.

……

An era is over.

A new era begins.

……

The end of volume two.

Capuchin:
The second volume is over.

I originally wanted to use Song Jiang's death as the end of the second volume. In that case, the part of the Water Margin will be completely over, and I will completely enter the part of the competition.

But forget about the Water Margin time, Song Jiang still has some lifespan.

Therefore, if you wait for Song Jiang to die, you will have to wait for a while before finishing this volume.

Wanyan Agu killed Wanyan Wu and begged to succeed him, Xiao Qian was defeated by Guo Yaoshi and Xiguo perished, and Li Yan unified the Korean peninsula, all of which are signs of the times.

As for Song Jiang, in terms of several forces, he is just an insignificant person.

That's why I finished this volume without waiting for Song Jiang's death.

The next volume, if nothing unexpected happens, should be the final volume of this book.

The reason for using the words "no accident" is that when I first conceived the book, I had thought of colonizing the world, and that would be a separate volume.

However, it seems that everyone will not like it now.

Therefore, I will add the process of colonizing the world to the third volume, try to use as little ink as possible, and try not to arouse everyone's disgust.

To be honest, is it possible not to write about the colonial world.

can.

But it always feels like something is missing.

I want the protagonist to become an existence that surpasses Genghis Khan. I want the Han people to be this glorious forever. They have traveled through it once and opened such a big hook. They can’t surpass Genghis Khan and become the emperor through the ages. I always feel that there is something missing.

In short, I will try my best to write, and I will also try my best to win more support from you.

After all, my interests are only very small, and I still need to rely on this book to live more, so I will not do willful things, please rest assured.

Alright, let’s talk about this first, see you in the next volume.
