Speaking of the Yang family generals, everyone knows that everyone knows, and the yang family will fight against Empress Xiao of the Liao Kingdom, and the Eight Heavenly Dragons written by Mr. Jin Yong, who describe the Khitan as a vulnerable empire. So is the real history like this, let xiaobian talk to you about the Liao Empire!
That is, after the Qishou Khan, the Khitan came the second Khan Skeleton Khan, and when there were big things in the tribe, everyone could not handle them well, and the Skeleton Khan transformed into a human form to help people deal with things and then returned to the tabernacle. But a relatively poor man in the tribe did not know why he was so bold, and one day when he plucked up the courage to go to the tent, he only saw that the skeleton khan had disappeared. The second Khan in the back is a pig head khan, every time there is a problem that cannot be solved, the pig head khan will be solved in human form, his wife is very confused, at that time the steppe women are more fierce, an arrow hit the pig head, so the pig head Khan disappeared. The third khan is a bit interesting, the daily food is very large, raising 20 sheep to eat 19 a day, there will be one left, and the next day there are 20, and so on.
?? When the editor says such a story, everyone may not believe it, and to tell the truth, the editor does not believe it, but after all, the historical records cannot come out of nowhere. Therefore, some historians have come to analyze why the Khitans made up such stories, and the Skeleton Khan explained that the Khitans did not have enough to eat, or lived in a primitive society. Pighead Khan shows that people at that time had learned to shoot archery, which had the ability to protect themselves. The sheep-eating khan shows that the Khitan animal husbandry was developed at that time.
The Khitan nation may have evolved slowly from the Xianbei in the process of the Wuhu Chaohua, and some historical records and Mongolian counterparts, in any case, have become an inseparable part of the history of the Chinese nation, although now the Khitan have disappeared. When the North and South Dynasties and Northern Qi came, the Khitan once led troops to attack, but at that time, the Northern Qi army was almost exterminated as soon as it arrived in the Khitans. At that time, the backward level of production could be the opponent of the Central Plains Dynasty, and when the Sui Dynasty established the steppe peoples, a powerful regime called the Turks rose, and then they were conquered by the Turks. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, after the development of Tang Taizong and Tang Gaozong and other powerful princes, the Turks were in a slump, and at this time the Khitan turned to Li Tang. At that time, the leader of the Khitan was given the national surname by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang at that time, and the Kaiyuan prosperous era was short-lived, and it was not long before the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, and the famous Guo Ziyi Li Guangbi restored the Tang Dynasty. This Li Guangbi was a Khitan man.
Since the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty gradually formed the form of feudal division in the middle and late periods, at this time the Khitan saw the opportunity to develop step by step, and finally reached the hands of Yelü Abaoji to depose the Khitan Khan at that time, and it did not take long to conquer the west to establish the Khitan Empire. Khitan and Liao these two national names in the Liao 210 years constantly changed, the Liao Dynasty because of the worship of the Han Dynasty Xiao He great, so in the future we read the Khitan generally only read two surnames, one is Yelü, this is the royal family, the other is Xiao, this is the Hou clan, most of the emperors and empresses in the future are surnamed Xiao, except for Emperor Sejong Empress is a woman.
?? The proudest battle of the Liao Empire was the Battle of gaoliang River against the powerful Northern Song Dynasty, which not only killed Yang Ye in battle, but even Emperor Taizong himself was almost killed by the Khitan secret arrows. Later, after the development of successive monarchs, the Khitan reached its peak of national power during the Shengzong period, and it is said that the Liao state at that time was larger than the Western Xia and Northern Song Dynasty combined. However, as soon as Emperor Shengzong died and Emperor Xingzong succeeded to the throne, the national strength gradually weakened, and he was defeated in the battle with Western Xia, and the reigning monarch at that time was the famous Li Yuanhao. When Emperor Daozong of Liao succeeded to the throne, due to the favor of the traitorous minister Yelü Yixin, the government of the dynasty was miasma, the national strength was declining, it was this emperor who ruled in the Liao state for decades, and when the last emperor of the Liao state reigned, Liao was already one day every day, of course, if Yelü Yanxi knew how to develop the national economy like Liao Jingzong, a change in the bad places of the previous dynasty, but unfortunately history gave the Liao the opportunity for the rulers not to cherish well, the most favorite thing to do all day is hunting, and finally the northeast Jurchen gradually rises, It took only 12 years to destroy the vast Liao Empire.
At that time, there was a minister in the Liao state named Yelü Dashi, and after seeing that the country was destroyed by the Jin state, he hated to take the only soldiers and horses to gain a foothold in the northwest, and at that time the Jin state had not yet occupied part of the northwest. Later, all the way to the west, the establishment of the famous Western Liao Empire, the territory of the Western Liao at its peak can be comparable to the territory of the Liao State at that time, in Russian, China means Khitan, that is, the influence of the empire created by Yelü Dashi on the West at that time. Less than a hundred years later, due to the rise of the Mongols, coupled with the intensification of the law of Qu Chu, the last regime, the Western Liao, was destroyed by the Mongols.
The History of the Liao State, including the Western Liao, has a total of nearly 300 years, and has made indelible contributions to the development of all aspects of the north today, and the prestigious Western Liao at that time also made the West feel frightened, and the famous Hua Lazimo became his vassal, but a dynasty has a prosperous time, but also has a declining side, and now although the Khitan tribe is gone, he has become an inseparable first part of one of the 56 ethnic minorities in China!
