Liaodong, Shizikou, early morning on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Dazzling fireballs rose from the city walls of Huacheng Pass one after another without any pause. In the bay of Shizikou, there is a busy scene. A landing fleet composed of more than 200 large warships is flooding the water to transport military supplies. The fishing port, watchtowers, piers and platforms in the Shizikou area, as well as the villages where the Bohai people live, are all controlled by the landing Song army. Although there are many Bohai Muke in the Shikou area, the number of troops they can pull out is more than a thousand. However, the combat effectiveness is not to be praised. Under the attack of the landing Song Army's selected front, it almost collapsed at the first touch. Therefore, on the day when the landing operation started on the fourth day of February, all the Jin strongholds west of Huacheng Pass in Fuzhou were wiped out by the landing Song Army.
However, the Jin soldiers who were stuck at the narrow entrance of the Fuzhou Peninsula at the Huacheng Pass had already reacted, closed the gate, and mobilized manpower from several Mooke in the Huacheng Pass for defense.
Since the Song army that landed on the beach did not carry heavy equipment such as cannons and rams, they could only wait until several cannons disassembled into parts were unloaded from the ship before they began to attack the pass. Now Niu Gao and Yue Fei are leading 3,000 elite troops to attack Huacheng Pass, and it looks like they are about to succeed.
Once Huachengguan was captured by the Song army, the entire Fuzhou Peninsula would be under the control of the Song Dynasty!
While the fierce battle on the Huacheng Pass side was in full swing, on the Shizikou side, the Song Army had been busy since noon yesterday. At sea and on land, everyone worked tirelessly and did not stop for more than ten hours. More than 20,000 expeditionary horse infantry troops have landed, and massive supplies have begun to be transported. Ma Kuo and Gao Sanyanei have also landed. The Chinese army has been set up next to a fishing boat dock in Shizikou Bay and is personally commanding.
After the infantry and cavalry of the brigade completed landing, the whole group passed through the road beside the dock and headed towards Huacheng Pass... There is no doubt that the Jin Kingdom's defense in Fuzhou was relatively empty, so now it is This is a good time to expand your results as much as possible and occupy as many territories as possible!
Ma Kuo and Yanei, a senior in high school, had not slept for almost a day and a half, and their eyes were red. Sitting on two small horses, he was fooling seven or eight old Bohai men who were being escorted over.
"Looking at your cowards, you can't possibly be Jurchens, right? Are you from Liao people who have lived here for a long time? Are they Bohai people, Khitan people, Xi people, or Han people from Liaodong?"
The one who was speaking was Ma Kuo. Although he was asking what ethnic group these Bohai people belonged to, he was speaking in precise Khitan dialect. And when he mentioned "Khitan people", his tone was particularly gentle.
As long as you are a little clever, you will know what to say.
"Reporting to the Grand Master (the military leaders of the Liao Kingdom are all honored as the Grand Master), the younger ones are all Khitans who lost their country..."
"We are all Khitan people, we have no choice but to call ourselves Bohai people..."
"Yes, yes, the little old man's original surname is Xiao, and he is from Xi Liubu."
"Grand Master, we are all people who have subjugated our country. We have no choice but to work for the Jurchens. We have no intention of resisting the king. Please spare us!"
Ma Kuo nodded and said, "Since you are all survivors of the Liao Dynasty, have you ever thought about re-establishing the Liao Dynasty?"
Of course, these cunning old men from Bohai will not miss Daliao, but isn't the most important thing now to survive?
"I think about it, day and night!"
"To be honest, Grand Master, I have been looking forward to Daliao's recovery for several years..."
"If the King of the Song Dynasty wants to save me, it's like fire and water, and we can't help it!"
Ma Kuo nodded with satisfaction and said to Gao Sanyanei in Chinese: "Little Taiwei, these people are all survivors of the Liao Dynasty. Some are Khitans and some are Xi people."
Gao Sanyamen laughed and said: "My father is here to restore the Liao Dynasty this time. Since these people are all survivors of the Liao Kingdom, there is no need to embarrass them... You tell them that the officials of the Song Dynasty have already suffered the consequences of the Liao and Shu." As entrusted by the princess, we are ready to save the Liao people from the fire and water. My father, Captain Gao, came across the sea this time to fulfill the wishes of the official family and the princess of Shu."
Basically all Bohai people in Liaodong understand Chinese, especially these elderly Bohai people. As soon as they listened with open ears, they were all anxious for Emperor Jin.
Something bad!
The officials of the Great Song Dynasty sent Lieutenant Gao to Liaodong to help the Khitans restore their country...and there was also a princess of the Liao and Shu Kingdom involved. I wonder if there were any other Khitan nobles working with him?
No, we have to report this matter quickly, and we have to ask the emperor to come back from the Central Plains as soon as possible!
If the Khitans here in Liaodong are incited by Captain Gao and the Princess of Shu, the Jin Kingdom's rear may be in chaos.
Ma Kuo knew that these Bohai people understood Chinese, but he still translated all Gao Yaoqing's words into Khitan and let these Bohai people listen to them again.
Later, he asked people to release all these Bohai people.
Seeing that all the Bohai people had left, Gao Yaoqing asked doubtfully: "Counsellor, will it be useful if we do this?"
Ma Kuo frowned: "Maybe it will be useful."
Well... there are always some Khitans who want to restore the Liao Dynasty. Isn't there a group of them on the Mobei grassland now? If that doesn't work, the worst possible scenario is to invite the princess of Shu to Fuzhou and let her ascend the throne as the Queen of Liao in Fuzhou. In this way, Wu Qimai can no longer take it lightly, right? "
"But after all, Fuzhou is located in a corner. To the north is Hesuguan Road... It's not easy to get there!"
Huosuguan Road is also a branch of the Wanyan Department of Jurchens, but they are yellow-headed Jurchens. They have yellow hair and whiter skin. They look a bit like white people. I don’t know where they come from? How come he became a relative of Hu Shui Wanyan?
This group of yellow-headed Jurchens were subdued by the Khitans very early, so they were moved to the mountainous areas of Liaodong, where they were easier to control, and became the mature Jurchens who were registered as household members in Qi people. Of course, mature girls are bullied more than raw girls, so they also suffer from deep hatred. Later, when they get a chance to turn over, they have to intensify their dominance, and they become the most powerful thugs in the Hu Shui Wanyan Department. Known as the Yellow-headed Hard Army.
It's not that easy to fight through their territory!
Ma Kuo blinked his eyes tiredly: "Isn't there a naval force? As long as we can capture Fuzhou... no, just capture Huacheng Pass! The office only needs to keep the old captain guarding the dangerous location of Huacheng Pass. It’s enough for the Princess of Shu to hold on to a piece of territory that has her own title! The rest of the work can be left to the navy. The coasts of Liaodong and western Liaoning are so vast, and we have the advantage of the navy, where can’t we go?”
"To put it this way, there is still some chance of winning."
The senior high school yamen breathed a sigh of relief... He was still a little sure of defending the city!
In fact, there was another trump card that Ma Kuo didn't tell Gao Yaoqing, because Ma Kuo himself didn't know much about it, and that was that Zhao Kai and Wu Qimai had reached a secret agreement in private!
Captain Gao's cross-sea landing, the fight against the Jin Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty... it's all a big drama! At least it's still a show for now, just to create a reason for Wu Qimai to withdraw from the army and get married.
...
"Senior Aunt, Senior Aunt, you died so miserably... Just wait, brother, I will avenge you! I will send troops to Daming Mansion to fight to the death with Zhao!"
It was the sixth day after Captain Gao landed in Liaodong and began to raise the banner of helping Liao to restore the country. In the imperial city of Xijin Prefecture, in the Yaochi Palace, above the main hall, I suddenly remembered the howling sound of Puluhu.
He is crying!
He was mourning for his sister, Sister Wanyan.
Because there were rumors just now that came to the Xijin Mansion, saying that Zhao Kai was furious because Qin Hui was beheaded, and sent Sister Wanyan to death row...she may have been executed now!
Although it was a rumor, it still caused an uproar in the main hall of Yaochi Palace. Wanyan Wu Qimai was so angry that his face was livid, and the muscles on his face were trembling.
Wanyan Puluhu, on the other hand, shouted to kill, looking like he was about to lose his mind.
Seeing this scene, the high-ranking civil and military ministers in the main hall were all dumbfounded... Originally, everyone was not worried about Wanyan Yan's ability to survive. Even if it was Zhao Gou who was killed that day, with Wan Yanyan's beauty and ability to coax people, she would have suffered a little physical pain at most and would never have been beheaded.
But looking at Puluhu's sad look and Wu Qimai's angry look, the people below were a little unsure.
But if you are not sure what you are going to eat, then you are not sure what you are going to eat. It is not possible to go south and fight against Daming Mansion!
Now a few months have passed since the last battle of Damingfu. News came from Xizuo. In the past few months, the Song people have been busy building walls and digging trenches... The cities in Hebei and Hedong are stronger than they were a few months ago. A lot.
And Damingfu City was where Zhao Kai was stationed, so how could it not be made impregnable?
If the emperor is really angry and raises troops because of Wanyan Yan's death, he is afraid that he will suffer a big loss under Damingfu City!
Everyone understands in their hearts, but they also know that Wanyanyan is the apple of Wu's eye... Now whoever wants to come forward to persuade may become the target of anger!
It’s not easy to be the first bird!
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't dare to be the first to come forward, and they didn't see Ta Lan, who was Wu Qimai's most trusted "good brother". Why are you missing today? Did he know that he was going to be the first person today, so he hid?
While the guys were looking for it, they heard a lazy voice coming from outside the hall: "Oh no, something big has happened..."
Hearing this, everyone's heart sank... Wanyan Yan was really beheaded! Zhao Kai's heart is so cruel!
Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Puluhu were silent, and the two pairs of moves stared at the door of the hall.
After a while, he saw Ta Lan coming in panting. He did not salute Wu Qimai, but said quickly and quickly: "It's a big deal. Gao Taiwei of the Song Dynasty sailed across the sea and landed in Liaodong on February 4th, seizing the opportunity." He came to Shizikou and Huachengguan, and threatened to come here to fight against the Jin Dynasty and restore the Liao Dynasty... He wanted Princess Yu Liyan of the Shu Kingdom to become the empress of the Liao Dynasty!
Your Majesty, there are quite a few Khitan people who are unwilling to surrender their country! If everyone rises up to respond to Yelu Yuliyan, I'm afraid there will be chaos in our rear! "
