Chapter 629: Yelu Dashi VS Slugzhu Coalition
In the 14th year of Jingkang, when the Song Dynasty was building step by step according to the emperor's plan.
However, a battle took place in the Khartok Khanate that was enough to influence the course of history.
This battle is very famous, and Zhao Huan's arrival did not affect the progress of this battle in history.
The two sides of the battle were the Liao Kingdom, which emerged in the Western Regions, and the Seliuzhu Empire, which was dominant in the river.
A few years ago, the two sides had actually had a clash, but they were not on a large-scale battlefield.
It was during the civil unrest of the Eastern Khartok Khanate, and the Seliuzhu Empire had no authoritative intervention in the internal affairs of the Eastern Khartok Khanate.
Ahmad Khan of the East Karakhtarakhs died, and his son Ibrahim Khan was unpopular, causing rebellion among the Kandi and the Garlu people.
Behind this is the power of the Sailiu Pillar Empire.
The Eastern Khartok Khanate was forced to invite the Liao Kingdom to send troops to help quell the rebellion.
Dashi quickly pacified Kangli and Geluo, and demoted the Eastern Karakhanate to a vassal, and seized the northern border into a territory directly under the Liao Dynasty.
Since then, Yelu Dashi has risen in the Western Regions and has become a force that cannot be ignored for several powerful countries in the Western Regions.
It also attracted the attention of the Western Regions overlord Seliu Pillar Empire.
The two sides had several small-scale battles two years ago, but most of them were based on mutual testing and did not engage in large-scale battles.
But this time, it's different from the past.
At sunset, although military information had already been heard from the front line, Yelu Dashi was reading Zhao Huan's "Theory of Economics", "Theory of Rich Country", "The Impact of Finance on the People", "New Trade" and other books in his palace.
Yelu Dashi was fascinated by the sight.
He had never read these books a few years ago, for no other reason.
He felt that Zhao Huan's way of playing would definitely ruin himself.
But in recent years, not only did Zhao Huan not ruin himself, but the national strength of the Song State has become stronger and stronger.
In the past two years, Yelu Dashi began to read Zhao Huan's books.
It's just like I can't stop seeing this.
I read it over and over again, as if I was chewing on the true meaning.
Whenever I see something wonderful, I will be amazed.
I always have new insights.
I often can't help but sigh: If I were not shouldering the burden of restoring the country, I must go to visit this Emperor of Song Dynasty. If I can recognize this person in my life, it would be worth it even if I die!
Yelu Dashi not only seemed to read Zhao Huan's books, but also specially found someone to tell them all the new policies implemented in the Song Dynasty over the years.
Although those people can only say the content of the new policy, they cannot describe the logic and reasons behind it.
But Yelu Dashi, as smart as he was, quickly connected the logic behind the front and back.
When I recalled what Zhao Huan said in the book, I felt even more moved that Zhao Huan was really a genius!
For a moment, Yelu Dashi really wanted to just take someone to join Zhao Huan.
Being an enemy like this is not a good thing.
But then he thought about it, Zhao Huan's actions in Song State last year were not allowed to shake his head.
Indulgence on businessmen is the first step you take in the wrong way.
Learning this lesson, Yelu Dashi implemented the system of the imperial court's absolute control over commerce in the current Liao Kingdom.
Almost controlled by the court.
The Liao Kingdom took over the basic plate of the Eastern Khartok Khanate, and the two years ago, carried out a bloody large-scale aristocratic purge in the royal capital of the Khartok Khanate.
The current policy is very difficult to implement.
The population of Liao Kingdom was not large, and I didn’t expect that the people of Song Kingdom were all relying on fixed relationships of farmland. Many of the people of Liao Kingdom were originally merchants, or herding cattle and sheep.
In order to manage well, Yelu Dashi adopted the policy of the army in charge of administration.
In other words, the highest commander of all roads in the country is the army commander.
The execution ability of soldiers is definitely the highest.
For example, the establishment of textile factories, cement factories, ore mining, military factories, etc. are all established by the government and managed by military management.
Yelu Dashi clearly remembers a sentence in Zhao Huan's book: Concentrate your efforts to accomplish great things.
Of course, he prefers another sentence: When the speed is fast enough, the stone can float on the water.
These words sound ordinary, but they contain refined philosophy.
Since last year, almost all production demands in the Liao Kingdom have been planned by the government.
Most of them began to serve the army, and some were for the needs of the people.
Perhaps influenced by Zhao Huan, unlike in orthodox history, Yelu Dashi began to advocate the concept of military supremacy and conquest supremacy in the Liao Kingdom.
At the same time, a special intelligence department and detailed work department were established.
Then Lu Wanqing is the one from the Seizuosi.
The fine works of Yelu Dashi were in the Song Dynasty, and the blockade columns and the Indians penetrated.
In the Song Dynasty, it mainly focused on provoking civil strife, and in the Shuliuzhu and Tianzhu, it mainly focused on spying on intelligence.
Such reform policies are many times more skillful than the embarrassing policy that Wanyan Zongpan played in the Jin Kingdom, which was a game that could not be defeated by the tiger.
Yelu Dashi is worthy of being a powerful figure. Under his leadership, the reborn Liao Kingdom was completely renewed in just over a year.
It was like a giant standing on the vast land of the Western Regions.
His power made the powerful silence pillar in the west unable to sleep all night, making many forces in the Hezhong area unable to sleep or eat.
The balance that has been maintained for hundreds of years has been broken.
So, a war broke out.
The military situation ahead is very urgent.
The kings of Khorasan, Sigistan, Ghassin, Mazandram, Gur and other countries led their troops to join the Seljuk Empire's coalition forces, with nearly 100,000 coalition troops.
Approaching the border of the Eastern Khartok Khanate.
These 100,000 troops are coalitions of various forces in the Hezhong region, which is enough to show how scared the new Liao Kingdom.
This is a showdown between the local overlord and the newly moved powerful.
"Your Majesty, the enemy has crossed the Western Khartok Khanate, crossed the Amu River, and advanced into our country."
Yelu Dashi put down the "Economic Theory" in his hand and took his armor casually: "How many people are there on the other side?"
"Report to Your Majesty, 100,000!"
"How many people are there on our side?"
"We have ten thousand people."
Yelu Dashi put on armor and said lightly: "Let's go, fuck them!"
"Your Majesty, we can increase our troops. I, the Khitan man, still have 30,000 warriors. The leaders of all tribes are willing to participate in the war and swear to fight the barbarians to the end!" (The Liao Kingdom has always regarded itself as the righteous Chinese)
"No, domestic development requires them more!" Yelu Dashi walked out with his personal guards. He held a copy of Zhao Huan's "The Rich Country" in his arms, and said to Xiao Hanyishu along the way, "Ten thousand people are enough. I will use these ten thousand men to teach those barbarians how to be human!"
That night, Yelu Dashi led a thousand iron cavalry to the west line.
The commander of the Western Front was Erbusi, the general under Yelu Dashi.
This man is a genius in war.
After a night of travel, Yelu Dashi arrived a hundred miles east of Carterwan on the next day.
Erbusi saluted Yelu Dashi: "Your Majesty, Ten Thousand Erlang is waiting for your arrival. For the great Khitan tribe, we swear to fight to the death!"
