Chapter 1854: The times are short, success is also eternal, failure is also Xiao Ran

The reason why the East Liao and Dongxia countries were not famous in history is that they both had very short lifespans, and only lasted thirty or fifty years from their founding to their demise.

These two countries are actually the products created by the Mongolian army advancing south.

Simply put, it is like this: after Mongolia began to attack the Jin Kingdom, when they attacked the capital of the Jin Kingdom, the troops had already arrived near Shandong.

Under this circumstance, the large area of ​​Jin's territory in Liaodong was cut off by the Mongolian army, and no longer bordered the Jin Dynasty and became an enclave.

So near Liaoning Province in later generations, when the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Kingdom, they surrendered to the Jin Kingdom's nobles, namely the Khitan people. They saw that the Jin Kingdom was about to end and had lost control over Liaodong, so they began to move.

Although the Liao Kingdom had been invaded for nearly a hundred years, a large number of Khitans remained. They were highly oppressed under the rule of the Jin Kingdom, and even the Jin people required that every neighbor of the Liao people be the Jin people.

Such atrocities made these Khitans endure until now. Finally, in 1213, under the leadership of the Liao royal family "Yelu Liuge", the Khitans began to rebel.

As soon as they raised the banner of reviving the Liao Kingdom, they successfully established the country in the later Liaoning area, with the name "Dongliao".

In fact, the land area of ​​Dongliao is equivalent to the size of a province in later generations.

This founding king of Dongliao, Yelu Liuge, is also a figure, but unfortunately he died early. He died last year, 1225.

As for Dongxia... that's much more interesting.

The founding king of Dongxia, "Pu Xian Wannu", was originally a general of the Jin Dynasty, a Jurchen nobleman, and was appointed as the envoy of the Liaodong Xuanfu.

When the Mongols came, the area he was responsible for guarding and the Jin Dynasty was completely divided into two parts by the Mongols.

So after Yelu Liuge began to rebel and establish the Eastern Liao Dynasty, Pu Xian Wannu of course received an order from the Jin emperor to wipe out the rebellious Khitans.

As a result, this guy used his superior troops to launch a large-scale conquest against Yelu Liu Ge twice, but he was defeated twice!

Even Pu Xianwannu was so embarrassed that even his wife Li Xian'e was snatched away by Brother Yelu Liu and married to him as his wife. I really don't know why Pu Xianwannu's battle was so bad.

After that, Pu Xian Wannu was defeated twice in succession, fearing that the Jin Kingdom would be punished by this matter. So he simply established another country in the area he controlled and became the King of Dongxia.

Speaking of the region of Dongxia Kingdom, it is much larger than that of Dongliao.

When he was the most powerful, he reached Shangjingcheng in the northwest (now Baichengzi in Acheng, Heilongjiang Province), to Posu Road in the southwest (now Jiuliancheng in Dandong, Liaoning Province), to Helan Road in the southeast (now Jizhou, North Hamgyong Province, North Korea) and Songpin Road in the north (now Shuangchengzi in the coastal harbor of Russia) were all the lands of the Dongxia Kingdom.

The land he occupied not only included most areas of Jilin and Heilongjiang Province in later generations, but even the Communist Youth City of Russia was within the ruling scope of its rule.

At that time, the area of ​​the Dongxia Kingdom was so wide that it exceeded the total of the Jin Kingdom and the Western Xia Kingdom during this period, and was comparable to that of the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, the entire north within his sphere of influence was mostly a bitter and cold land. Therefore, Pu Xian Wannu had such a large land area, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and had no choice but to steal his wife.

When you see this, do you think he is cowardly enough, right?

No! Let me tell you, the cowardly thing about Pu Xian Wannu is still there!

...

When the Mongols found that their flanks were like mushrooms, two countries emerged overnight, and they immediately sent people to attack, and then Dongxia and Dongliao surrendered without hesitation.

In this way, Yelu Liuge's Dongliao and Puxian's Dongxia all became vassals of Mongolia.

Then, the general of Dongliao, "Yelu Sibu", led his army to rebel. He was beaten by Yelu Liuge and had nowhere to escape, and he rushed into the Goryeo Kingdom... In fact, if I did this too, who wouldn't pick up the soft ones to eat persimmons?

In this way, Yelu Si established another Liao Kingdom in Goryeo. In order to distinguish it well, he was called "Hou Liao" by later generations.

But you should know that at this time, Goryeo was nominally a vassal state of Mongolia!

...

So after Goryeo was defeated by Hou Liao, they immediately asked Mongolia for help. In addition to sending 300 people, the Mongolian army also ordered two subordinate countries: Dongxia and Dongliao to send troops to Goryeo to attack Yelu Sibu of Hou Liao.

So, Pu Xianwannu, whose wife was stolen, actually marched into Goryeo with his wife's new husband, Yelu Liuge... This pair of fellow men became teammates this time!

After that, their four-nation coalition army formed by Mongolia, Goryeo, Dongliao and Dongxia successfully wiped out Yelu Sibu of the Later Liao Dynasty in Goryeo.

Then, the King of Eastern Liao, Yelu Liuge, died in 1220. Yelu Liuge's eldest son Yelu Xuezhe entered Mongolia as a hostage. Now, the eldest son of Liuge, Yelu Xuezhe, is following Oge's south battle.

Today, in the Dongliao country, Yelu Liuge's wife, a woman named "Yao Li" is in power.

And in Dongxia... our ninja turtle Pu Xianwannu actually did something particularly uncontrollable - after he finished the war for the Mongolians, the Mongolian soldiers retreated and he rebelled again!

Just eight or nine years ago, in 1217, Pu Xianwannu decided to stop serving the Mongols and establish a country again. In recent years, all the envoys sent by Mongolia to Goryeo had to detour through Dongliao before they could pass.

However, the Mongols are busy with the Western Expedition and have no time to pay attention to him. So Pu Xian Wannu has not yet realized the consequences of his frequent deaths, and he is living a good life in his Dongxia Kingdom.

And this time, Shen Mo brought his troops into the country to find trouble for the Dongliao and Dongxia!

...

After the fleet returned and the troops on the shore had also assembled, Shen Mo immediately led them to advance inland without hesitation.

Where they got ashore was a natural harbor called Tianqiao Port. Even in later generations, this was a rare scenic spot.

There is a small island two or three miles from Tianqiao Port, and the island is connected by a natural passage on the shore.

This passage is zigzag, formed by natural impact of the sea tide. Whenever the tide recedes, it will naturally appear for people to travel between the islands and land.

When the tide rises, the naturally formed bridge is submerged under the tide and cannot be seen. That is why it is called the "overpass".
