After another fierce battle, they broke through the encirclement.
They beat Yelü Dashi so badly that he dared not pursue them any further.
In this battle, over four hundred Jin soldiers were killed.
Almost everyone who escaped was injured.
But Yelü Dashi's more than 10,000 soldiers
More than 5,000 fled and went far away.
His core three hundred iron cavalry,
More than eighty were also lost.
This was a huge blow to Yelü Dashi.
After a few days,
More than three thousand elite Jin cavalrymen charged in.
Chapter 3200 The Miserable Big Stone
Yelü Dashi once again lured the enemy deep into his territory.
Attempting to surround and annihilate the Jin army
The result was a crushing defeat and a forced retreat.
The tribal cavalry who followed him
Their combat strength is far too weak!
Yelü Dashi retreated westward.
Until it snowed,
The Jin soldiers then gradually withdrew.
Furthermore, they also vented their anger on the surrounding tribes.
They abducted a large number of livestock and women.
After this battle, Yelü Dashi's prestige in the northern desert plummeted.
The various tribes of Niren Mongol openly broke away from its rule.
The various Tatar tribes also expressed their discontent.
Because they were robbed the most by the Jin soldiers.
The northern grasslands are not a foundation for building a career.
Yelü Dashi finally conceived the idea of moving west.
He has too little experience here.
They are not even as good as the Niren Mongol tribes.
Those Mongolian tribes have been developing for several generations.
They are related by blood.
There are also a large number of tribes that intermarry.
And what about Yelü Dashi?
He was just an outsider.
There are no related tribes by marriage in the northern desert.
They subdued the various tribes solely by relying on three hundred iron cavalry.
In case of danger
Powerful tribes simply don't listen.
They were only willing to follow him and fight for the benefits of territory.
That winter, Yelü Dashiwo licked his wounds in the northern desert.
Select brave and strong men,
Replace the three hundred iron cavalry.
The man died, but the armor remained.
And from the fallen Jurchen cavalry,
They acquired several hundred suits of iron armor.
The battle was a major defeat, and we suffered some losses.
He now has a total of more than 500 suits of armor.
How pitiful, the dignified Yelü Dashi...
There were only about five hundred suits of armor.
And they were all medium-sized armor.
They didn't even have a single piece of heavy armor.
Looking at the snow falling all around,
Yelü Dashi plans to ascend the throne and become emperor next year.
After bestowing honors upon the officials, they immediately moved westward.
This place in the northern desert,
Whoever wants to treat them can treat them.
He simply couldn't stay any longer.
.....
Five warships and seven merchant ships,
They carried three thousand armored soldiers and a large amount of supplies eastward.
Xue Daoguang, who had already taken on disciples and passed on his Taoist teachings in Zhejiang,
He finally led his fleet out to sea once again.
The naval commander was Ying Xuan, a former general of the puppet state of Chu.
The army commander was Zhao Yuan's adopted son, Zhao Xiaozhong.
Zhao Yuan had already done so four years ago.
Stop adopting orphans in your own name.
Among those orphans from earlier times,
A total of thirteen people stood out.
They were formally adopted as godson and goddaughter by Zhao Yuan.
The remaining orphans continued to be raised.
Many have already joined the military, while others have chosen the civil service path.
Start as a senior official in the Court of State Affairs and the Privy Council.
In just a few years, one can be reduced to a low-ranking official.
Even some orphans,
He even infiltrated Shi Yuangong's intelligence department!
"Once you arrive on the island, do not kill indiscriminately,"
"The islanders need to be kept alive to farm. Understand?"
Zhao Xiaozhong said to Xia Yuqing.
Xia Yuqing smiled bitterly: "What does the general take us for?"
"Who would enjoy killing people for fun?"
Zhao Xiaozhong pursed his lips.
His three thousand armored soldiers,
Fifty of them were orphans who grew up together.
They were even equipped with the latest flintlock muskets.
More than a hundred others were former Song soldiers who had gone to sea with Xue Daoguang.
The rest, mostly from Shamen Island,
One or two of them have experience with cannibalism.
This trip is to Japan to make money.
First stop, Jeju Island.
The second stop was Tsushima Island.
.....
Jeju Island was then called Tamna County.
It had three main officials: the Prefect, the Deputy Prefect, and the Judge.
Chapter 3201 Jeju Island
More than a hundred years ago,
Goryeo also maintained a military garrison on the island.
To prevent the remnants of the annexed Tamna Kingdom from rebelling.
There are also troops stationed there now.
But the soldiers had already become slaves.
Officials can be ordered around at will.
County Magistrate Kim Bo's hometown is in Gyeongsang Province.
He achieved excellent results in the imperial examinations.
However, the family's strength was too weak.
After twenty years of ups and downs in his official career,
As a result, they were thrown into this godforsaken place, Danluo.
They won't get much profit.
Lack of entertainment activities
It's hard to even eat white rice.
All I can do every day is lie around and drift through life.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, a ship has docked!"
The subordinate official rushed in.
"How many ships have arrived?" Jin Fu asked hurriedly.
More arrivals mean more peaceful trade.
If few people come, they resort to violence to rob them.
Before Tamna was annexed by Goryeo,
They had been paying tribute to the Northern Song Dynasty.
They could also make some money every now and then through tribute trade.
