In the winter of the fifth year of Chongqing Ming Dynasty, the Daxia court still did not stop the conquest.

Emperor Yang Lin, who once promised that the civil and military ministers would release their horses to the Nanshan Mountain and put their swords and guns into the warehouse, once again broke his promise.

This time, the attack on Goryeo and the competition for Bozhou was equivalent to fighting two of the three major battles of Wanli in later generations.

Wanli exhausted the national treasury and left a lot of problems, but now Daxia does not have this trouble.

In the Ming Dynasty, which was also later, Yongle's big moves were many times higher than those of the three major battles in Wanli, but they were still full of national treasury.

Because he made Zheng He voyage to the West and made a lot of money from sea. Now, I don’t know how many times he voyage to the West.

Not only the maritime businessmen, but also the well-connected trade routes on land, but also the treasury is constantly congested with blood.

All the civil and military officials in the court and the people of the whole country were used to it. It was a novelty when there was no war.

From the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to ordinary soldiers, most of the people hope to fight.

Now is a relatively fair era. It is a hidden rule to take advantage of military merits in the Song Dynasty, but now it is different.

The development of culture and education has cleansed up the atmosphere in the military, and many people are full of righteousness.

They fought to defend their country, with a sense of honor and pride, rather than being forced to work hard before.

Especially for the officers at the bottom, who dares to destroy the supreme military honor in their hearts, they probably won't give up.

If there are channels in the army, you can reach the heavenly listening.

This ensures that the current channels for military merit promotion can give people an additional way to change the fate of the family.

A country where civilians have multiple channels for rising, must be full of vitality and ambition.

There are endless money to spend, a stable rear, soldiers eager to fight, and ambitious emperors.

When Daxia seizes the opportunity to start a war, he will definitely fight.

In a hall of the palace, two tall copper incense burned vigorously. Water drips outside into ice, but the hall is as warm as spring.

Yang Lin was here to host the ministers and the envoys of the vassal states around him, each offering gifts.

It is a dangerous thing to be a vassal state of Daxia now. If you are not careful, you will give him a chance to send troops.

Once the Daxia sends troops, they will have a few more prefectures and even provinces.

The countries that were conquered often had no more scum left, and many principalities in South Asia have already suffered.

Therefore, these foreign ministers who went to Daxia were sitting upright, focused and looked straight, for fear of being caught.

Yang Lin himself did not have this kind of thought. In his opinion, he was a very kind person. Even if he was a little disrespectful, he would not go into it.

He held the wine glass and smiled and talked to the ministers around him. It was the end of the year that he always had to say something about his close ministers.

Sitting in front of him, Cai Jing, who was not very high in his official position but had the highest prestige.

Cai Jing's hair and beard were all white, and he was less intrigue from the Huizong Dynasty, but he became slower than his old age.

His spirit seemed very good. In front of him was his third son and Yang Lin's disciple Cai Tao.

On the right side of the imperial guards are the prime minister Bai Shizhong and Fan Zongyin.

The main hall contains nearly a thousand people, but it doesn’t feel crowded at all. It is arranged in a row and small rows, and each has a meal and banquet.

At this time, someone from the Ministry of Rites stepped in, walked to Yang Lin, clasped his fists and said, "I heard from the official family, and there is a Khitan envoy, come to pay tribute."

“Tribute?”

Everyone, including Yang Lin, was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood.

Yelu Dashi is truly a hero, his damn ability to bend and stretch...

The Khitan envoy, wearing traditional Khitan costumes, stepped into the hall.

Their expressions were solemn. When the Great Liao Empire was at its peak, I wonder why His Majesty, who had always been brave, paid tribute to Daxia.

Although he does not submit to the sanctions, his status is established.

The Liao Dynasty was in an uproar and could not understand His Majesty's actions at all. In their opinion, the Liao Dynasty was entering a period of greater prosperity than before, and was just advancing eastward to compete with the Xia Dynasty.

Inside the hall, the civil and military officials of the Xia Dynasty were all very happy.

The most powerful Liao Kingdom also came to pay tribute.

When the small country present saw that it was indeed a dead end to Daxia as an enemy. The Liao people are so strong now that they admit defeat.

In the distant Fuliao City, Yelu Dashi had a sad face. When he was upright and strong, he had to bow his head.

The more I know, the more I am afraid that Daxia is really too strong now.

What made Yelu Dashi even more worried was that what Xia Dynasty was strong was a civilization and a kind of inheritance. As long as this atmosphere was developed, they would continue to be strong.

The Khitan only temporarily suppressed force, which made the uncivilized small countries in the West bow their heads.

Moreover, the number of Han people, the main body of the Xia Dynasty, has reached more than 100 million, and is still growing rapidly.

The Khitans are still hundreds of thousands, and the soldiers and horses under his command are mainly Turkic people, and there are also various races.

On weekdays, these people can still serve themselves by force.

Once the war begins with the powerful Xia Dynasty, it is questionable whether they will remain loyal.

Once he rebels in the war, his rear will be in chaos first, and the seemingly powerful empire of Daliao will collapse.

The Xia Dynasty is different. As long as their civilization is not stopped, they will sooner or later revival. This is the terrible thing.

Yelu Dashi, who had understood this, decided to pay tribute to the Xia Dynasty with the strange eyes of his tribe members.

At that time, tens of thousands of tribes survived escaped from the purgatory in the clouds, traveling through mountains and rivers, covered in dust. Yelu Dashi's eyes were firm and his waist was straight, and he had never lamented even a single sound.

Nowadays, the country is thousands of miles away, the people are hundreds of people destroyed, but the emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty no longer has a firm look.

Once, he swore to the portrait of Yelu Abaoji repeatedly to fight back to Mayushan, the birthplace of the eight Khitans.

Now Ma Yushan can only be seen in his dreams...

By the bonfire, Yelu Dashi stood up. Compared to the Longcheng Hall, the palace was filled with flowers and brocade and the fire was cooking oil, there was no one in the palace of the Liaocheng City.

Even the palace maids and eunuchs were driven out by Yelu Dashi.

A boy with small braids stood at the entrance of the hall, looking at his familiar father.

For some reason, his eyes were sore and tears rolled down.

"Father!"

Yelu Dashi turned around, the corners of his eyes finally spread out, and he walked over and picked him up.

This is the baby he gave birth to after the founding of the Western Kingdom, named Yelu Dongjin.

Yelu Dashi's eyes revealed warmth and looked deeply into the east.

Yang Lin warmly welcomed the Khitan envoys, and hundreds of years of grudges and hatreds between the two countries and the two nations formed the most magnificent history on this land.

Now that the drama has come to an end, the Khitans who have left East Asia will not even speak Khitan when they want to come back.

Yang Lin said sincerely: "I have not seen each other for a long time. After returning to China, I will pass on my words on my behalf. I said that Daxia welcomes him to come and visit, and welcomes all Western merchants, tourists and law-abiding people."

"If Yelu Dashi intends to come here, I am willing to accompany him to Changchun Prefecture to worship his ancestors."

The Liao envoy took notes one by one, and after saying goodbye, he embarked on the way back to his country.

---

In the sixth year of Chongming, early autumn.

Han Shizhong captured Busan, and all the nobles of Goryeo, including Li Ziqian, were captured.

The soldiers of the Eastern Expedition offered prisoners on the outskirts of Beijing, killed Li Ziqian's family, and announced that Goryeo was transferred to Chenyang Prefecture.

At the prisoner offering ceremony, there was a special guest beside Yang Lin, the Liao Emperor Yelu Dashi.

Yelu Dashi came to Daxia with great courage. The person who was responsible for greeting and escorting him was Governor Yao Pingzhong of Qin Rong.

The two people who once admired each other and were wary of each other, were the two of them who blocked the arrogant Jurchens in the clouds when the Jurchens were at their peak.

It made them return in a miserable state, and they were frustrated for the first time.

Later, Yelu Dashi betrayed Yao Pingzhong and almost killed him. When Yao Pingzhong was desperate, he chose to defend Yunnei to death. After waiting for the rescue army, the Han people took back Yunnei, which had been trapped for hundreds of years.

Yao Pingzhong saw Yelu Dashi and punched him angrily. All the people in Liao were frightened.

Only Yelu Dashi laughed and said, "Xiyan, long time no see!"

Then the two of them put their arms into Yan'an Mansion, and Yao Pingzhong personally escorted him to Longcheng.

Ten days after the prisoner was offered, Yang Lin personally accompanied Yelu Dashi to Changchun Prefecture.

On Mayu Mountain, I paid homage to Yelu Abaoji, and then signed a covenant.

The two countries will guard the border troops along the border, and the people and households in the two places will not be invaded.

If there is a person who commits a crime, the two countries should cooperate to escape and hide without orders from each other.

The two sides set up counters on the border, conduct trade with each other, and exempt tariffs.
