Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Gradually, the Jin Dynasty court came under the control of these people.

This group also relied on Wanyan Zongwang and Han Chinese forces.

Extending its reach from the imperial court to local authorities and the military.

Meanwhile, people migrated to Yunzhong and Yanshan.

Ostensibly, it was to digest the former territory of the Liao Dynasty.

And weaken the power of the Xi and Bohai people.

In reality, it was a tactic employed by several factions to sideline the emperor.

To explain in detail,

The situation is more complicated.

The emperor and the inner court had conflicts but were forced to cooperate.

The inner court relied on Wanyan Zongwang to contend with Wanyan Zonghan.

Wanyan Zongwang needed to leverage the righteousness of the inner court.

They also wanted to break free from the inner court and move towards independence.

At times, they also had to cooperate with Wanyan Zonghan.

Such a bizarre situation of division,

Yet, the Jin dynasty was able to unite against external threats.

.....

Yanjing.

The leader here is naturally Wanyan Zongwang.

The second most important figure was Liu Yanzong, a general who had surrendered from the Liao Dynasty.

Xi people, Han people, Bohai people,

They were all willing to obey Liu Yanzong's orders!

"Attacked at the coastal salt fields"

"It should be the enemy from Shandong crossing the sea,"

Wanyan Zongwang asked,

"If we divide our forces to defend the major salt fields,"

"It's inevitable to be passive in many situations,"

“The Ming army can plunder any place they choose from at sea.”

"Do either of you have any ideas?"

Liu Yanzong said, "We should train the navy."

Shi Li'ai, however, reminded them: "Haibin County is not under the jurisdiction of the Yanshan Privy Council."

Liu Yanzong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Indeed."

Both of them are currently loyal to Wanyan Zongwang.

Instead of being loyal to the Jin Dynasty court.

Their meaning is clear.

That is, using the Ming army's attack on the salt fields as a pretext.

They demanded military and political jurisdiction over the area from Huacheng (Dalian) to Haiyang (Qinhuangdao).

Shi Li'ai said, "The southern barbarians who crossed the sea must not be many in number."

"It's nothing more than coastal raiding,"

"They do not have the strength to conquer the city."

"Since you have received the letter requesting assistance,"

"An army can be sent there,"

"But there's no need to rush."

"Will the imperial court agree?" Wanyan Zongwang asked doubtfully.

Shi Li'ai said, "I might agree."

This is clearly a case of nurturing an enemy to enhance one's own prestige.

They didn't take the cross-sea harassment seriously.

Wu Qimai is already quite old.

Wanyan Zongwang wanted to strengthen his power as quickly as possible.

Only then will they have a chance to compete with Wanyan Zonghan for the throne.

Under the planning of two Han Chinese sages

Wanyan Zongwang leisurely dispatched his troops.

In total, there were only two or three thousand elite troops.

They went to Jinzhou to assist in the defense.

They stood by and watched as the Ming army from Dengzhou and Laizhou looted everywhere.

Each time a message was received, the rescue was delayed.

They pressured the Jin dynasty court to grant them more power.

So, what was Emperor Wuqimai of the Jin Dynasty doing?

Make history! .

Chapter 1945 Internal Strife

The compilation dates back to the Jurchen tribal period.

Up to the national history of Wu Qimai's ascension to the throne,

He used historical writing to establish the legitimacy of his throne.

Does this trick work?

It works very well!

Wanyan Zonghan in history,

It merged the troops of Wanyan Zongwang and Liu Yanzong.

He completely seized military and political power in the former Liao territory.

The emperor violated regulations by using the national treasury.

He even dared to punish the emperor with a cane.

But after the emperor died

Wanyan Zonghan was unable to succeed to the throne.

Because the group from the Sejo clan already possessed considerable strength.

They also used Wu Qimai's compiled national history to justify their actions.

This forced Wanyan Zonghan to abandon his idea of ​​becoming emperor.

Of course, both sides were wary of each other.

No one gets the best outcome.

Finally, another puppet was created.

.....

The Jin Dynasty court in Harbin was too far away.

Wanyan Zongwang in Yanjing again supported bandits to enhance his own power.

The Ming army in Dengzhou and Laizhou looted for a month.

They looted three salt fields without encountering any significant resistance.

Those bastards,

But he snatched it with ease!

This time they're really serious.

Zhao Li brought several thousand infantrymen with him.

The entire group landed at Lushunkou.

At that time, the name Lushun did not exist.

It is generally called Iron Mountain.

There are iron ore mines there.

Occasionally, gold can be found.

Xia Yuqing had not yet disembarked.

Then they saw smoke rising ahead.

That was the "beacon tower of the Great Wall at Zhendonghaikou," which had been put into use.

In order to fight against the Balhae Kingdom, the Liao Dynasty...

A section of the Great Wall, stretching over seventy miles, was built here (from the northeast of Lushunkou all the way to Dalian Bay).

One beacon tower after another,

Light up the thick smoke.

However, there are not many soldiers available for deployment.

After destroying the Balhae Kingdom,

The Liao Dynasty gradually migrated over 100,000 people to the Liaodong Peninsula.

However, the Liao Dynasty fell into chaos at the end of its reign.

Famine and war led to a sharp decline in population.

It could even be described as "less than one in ten survives".

The entire Dalian area in later generations,

There are now fewer than 10,000 households.

The Jurchen army was not numerous.

All of them were stationed in Huacheng County (Jinzhou) and Huacheng Pass (Dalian Bay).

There is also a Hue camp next to Fuzhou.

The garrison troops in other areas,

The Han and Bohai armies were all ragtag bunches.

"Bombardment!"

The six large ships that Xue Daoguang brought back

All of them have been fitted with arquebuses.

They fired cannons at the beacon towers of the Great Wall from Lushunkou.

Xia Yuqing has been promoted to squad leader.

Leading his soldiers,

They followed the Dengzhou and Laizhou soldiers as they rushed ashore.
