Chapter 112 Section 5 Revival of the Great Liao Dynasty

Yelu Dashi knew very well in his heart that the Jin Kingdom is a newly emerging state, and its momentum is in full swing. If the Jin Kingdom is determined to attack Ketun City again and again, the troops in his hands will not be able to resist it. .And this is the only remaining army of the Liao Kingdom. If the entire army is wiped out, the Liao Kingdom will be completely destroyed.So what should Yelu Dashi do next? Dashi thought about it, and figured it out. At this time, the Jin Dynasty's national power was booming, and it was just a rising sun.And Daliao is already in decline, if it fights to the death with Jin, it will be the fate of Emperor Tianzuo.Therefore, I don't want this city of Ketun, and leave it to the Jin Army.The whole army is the top priority, followed by the loss of ground, and the preservation of vitality is the most important thing.Therefore, Yelu Dashi led his troops to start another western expedition. At this time, the number of people had reached 10,000, instead of 200 or so. The target of this western expedition was today's Xinjiang and Central Asia.When Yeluyu saw the army coming, Kedun City was already an empty city, and the Jin army could only destroy the city to vent their anger.

In Dashi's view, the Western Regions are a good place to use force.At that time, there were three forces in the Western Regions: the first was the Gaochang Uighurs occupying the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.The Uighurs were a powerful ethnic regime in the Tang Dynasty, and they are roughly the ancestors of the Uighurs and Yugurs today.Another force is the Naiman tribe on both sides of the Altai Mountains.The civilization of the Naiman tribe is also very developed, it can almost be called a kingdom, and it is no longer a tribe. They use the Uyghur language, which is the later Uyghur language.The Mongolian nation did not have its own script. After Genghis Khan broke the Naiman tribe, Tata Tonga, a minister of the Naiman tribe, created the Mongolian script using the Uighur alphabet, so the Mongolian script is very similar to the ancient Uighur script.Another one is the Miajias tribe in the Tangnu Ulianghai area. Tangnu Ulianghai is the Tuva Autonomous Republic in Russia today. It was originally a part of China. It was annexed illegally by Tsarist Russia in 1912. Ancestors of the Kyrgyz people.

Dashi thinks, if he wants to develop into the Western Regions, who will these three departments deal with first?Although the Gaochang Uyghurs were in decline, they were not easy to get along with.After all, it has been in that place for so many years, and its national strength is relatively strong, and its civilization is relatively developed.The same is true for the Naiman Department.Only the Kirghiz people are nomadic people, and their civilization, production level, and combat level are relatively low, so the Liao army took the Kirghasi people as their main offensive opponents.As long as they defeat the Kirghiz people and occupy the territory of the Kirghiz people, they will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions, and then slowly move eastward to restore their homeland.Dashi made a plan, so he led his men to the residence of the Kirgiz people, and collided with the Kirgiz people head-on. Unexpectedly, the Khitan warriors were brave and good at fighting. The Cannes people didn't take advantage of it.But Dashi is so smart, he can bend and stretch, he will fight if he wins, and run away if he can't win.The sea is wide enough for fishes to leap, the sky is high for birds to fly, why should I fight with you here?This is not the choice of a famous general.So Dashi led his troops across the Altai Mountains, arrived at today's Emin County in Xinjiang, settled down in the Emin River Basin, and built a city.Because Dashi has been Sinicized, he will not live by water and grass. This city is called Ye Mili.These nearby ethnic groups and tribes came to Dashi one after another, especially the 16,000 tents of nomadic Khitans who came to Dashi, and Dashi's strength increased greatly.

In 1132 A.D., Dashi already knew that Emperor Tianzuo was doomed, and the country could not live without an owner for a day. In order to revive Daliao, I had to reluctantly take up this important task. In February 1132, Dashi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor with the support of his ministers.His Chinese honorary name is Emperor Tianyou, and his reign name is Yanqing; at the same time, according to the habits of the local Turkic people, he also took a Turkic title, Ju'er Khan, and some books translated it as Ge'er Khan, which in Turkic means all Khan of sweat, or sweat of sweat.In this way, Yelu Dashi once again revived Daliao in the far west.This Liao Kingdom was generally called Xiliao in history, also known as Kara Khitan.So after Dashi established his capital in this place, what is his next plan?
