Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Title of Emperor

Yang Pu said about persuasion, and Cao Guangbi said: "The north is a small country, and the people are only 100,000, which is not as good as the Great Song Dynasty. It is too much to be called the emperor in this way. In his heart, he has always regarded the Great Song Dynasty as the hard-won orthodoxy.

Yang Yingqi said: "No." If Da Liao comes to attack, what does the second brother think will be the number of wins and losses between the two sides? ”

Cao Guangbi groaned: "The Liao Kingdom wants to destroy the Jurchens, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "If the Liao State can't defeat the Jurchens, what will happen? ”

Cao Guangbi said: "At the least, the territory will be divided and the land will be lost, and the worst will fall apart." ”

Yang Yingqi said again: "If this is the case, what will happen to the Jurchen national fortunes? ”

Cao Guangbi said: "If it is the former, then the Khitan Jurchen is the twin heroes of the northern country. If it's the latter, then ......" He frowned, worried: "If it's the latter, then the Jurchens may prosper on behalf of Liao." However, the Khitan has been established for a hundred years and is deeply rooted, and it is not difficult for the Jurchens to stand on their own. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "However, there is no suspicion that the Jurchens can fight against Da Liao. The lord of Liao has been the emperor for more than 200 years, and the Jurchen is extremely strong and the emperor is fierce, so why not? ”

Cao Guangbi snorted and said, "If you are called emperor, you will be called emperor." No one cares about him anyway, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Yang Yingqi smiled: "How can it be okay? Ah Gu became the emperor, and we will rise to the top. Everyone has a general and marshal or something, and there is no need to be called a leader like now, like a copycat leader. ”

Cao Guangbi and the others all laughed when they heard this.

On the second day, Zheyan rushed to see Aguta, and when he saw that Aguta's younger brother Wu Qimai and Jurchen State Minister Sagai happened to be there, he said, "Uncle! Now we have won a series of big victories, and our reputation is far and wide. The Jurchen tribes returned to their hearts, and the new prefectures and counties also surrendered. The territory is getting bigger and the people are increasing, and the ruling methods of the mountain and forest tribes in the past are no longer feasible. If you don't reform the old and make the new, register the emperor, and seal the Zhufan, then all the states and departments will regard the uncle as a chief! If the name is not right, it is not good, we don't have a name, how can we order the departments to confront Daliao? If you make your subjects suspicious of your uncle's name, sooner or later you will be in trouble! Now that the year is coming to an end, it is better to start the spring next year, build a new yuan, call the emperor, and be the heart of the people. ”

Aguta was silent. Wu begging, Sakai and others heard the rumors, but they thought so. Sakai said: "The horse is worthy of being a hero in Shangbang, and what he said makes a lot of sense!" ”

Zong Xiong, Zong Han, Zong Wang, etc. also said: "Now that we have broken with Da Liao, if we don't call the honorific title, how can we tie the hearts of the people?" ”

Ah Gu asked Zhi Yan Chong: "In the Central Plains, is it also said that if you are called emperor, you will be called emperor?" ”

Zhi Yan said: "If you don't have the strength, it's a joke to call the emperor." ”

Akuda asked, "How can I not make people laugh?" ”

Zhi Yan said: "If it is recognized by a big country, no one in the world will dare to be disrespectful." ”

Ah Gu said: "A big country? Is it Liao, or Song? ”

Zhi Yan said: "In the alliance of Lanyuan, Brother Song and Brother Liao, and Empress Dowager Xiao are uncles, and the two countries are side by side in the world. The Great Song is too far away. The great Liao is famous far and wide, from the East China Sea to the Western Regions. If he can be canonized, he can justify his name. ”

Ah Gu said: "We and Da Liao have already torn their faces, how can we get their canonization?" ”

Zhi Yanchong smiled slightly: "It's simple. If it is not canonized, it will be beaten until it is canonized. ”

Zong Han and the others laughed and said, "Not bad! Fight until it is canonized! ”

Seeing that Aguda had made up his mind, Sagai said, "In this case, I will go and prepare for the emperor's affairs." I need a lot of guidance on this matter. ”

Orihiko hurriedly said, "Don't dare." After a pause, he stepped forward and said, "Uncle." If he is called the emperor, he is no longer the head of a family, but the dignity of a country. The dignity of a country should regard the world as the great prince and regard all the people as one. In today's domestic situation, the Jurchens are superior to all ethnic groups, and Wanyan is superior to all tribes. And there were many slaves and slaves. They live in misery, like cattle and horses - this is all unjust. Although these things have been accumulated deeply, it is difficult to reverse them for a while. But I hope that after my uncle becomes respected, he will gradually get rid of this unfair system. His previous words were all discussed with Yang Yingqi, but the last sentence was put forward on the spot.

Before Ah Guda could speak, Wu Qimai, Zong Han and others had already shook their heads, and Wu Qimai said, "What's wrong with slaves? Those who are cowardly, lazy, and stupid will naturally be reduced to slavery. As for Wanyan's superiority over the tribes, and the Jurchen's superiority over the tribes, that's a matter of course - if according to what you said, all people are equal, how can the sons and daughters kill the enemy in the future? Everyone has worked hard for decades, and in the end, isn't it just for glory and wealth? ”

All the Jurchens nodded yes. Zong Gan, the eldest son of Ah Guta, said: "Don Ma, although you are a hero, not everything is good in the Song people. You're right to let your father be emperor. But it would be ridiculous to say that Jurchens should not be superior to all tribes, and Wanyan should not be superior to all tribes. ”

Seeing that Orihiko Chong's face was full of disappointment, the Minister of State Sagai comforted: "The horse doesn't have to be like this. The Wanyan Department has always regarded the Han Department as a family, and there is no discrimination between our two departments. ”

Ah Gu said: "Not bad! Since the arrival of Hanbu, all the children in my family are literate and read. You also taught us to build palaces, make coal stoves, and also taught our people to plant corn and sweet potatoes, and Huining is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, all of which are indispensable to Yan Chong's contributions! As for your saying that you don't want slaves, but the Grand Duke, this system really cannot be implemented in our people. But if you implement the Han system in the Han Department, I will not interfere. ”

After the Han tribe came to the Jurchen territory, they made many contributions, but they did not harm the interests of the Jurchen tribes, so the leaders such as Aguta did not feel anything wrong with such a tribe with a completely different system in the domain for a while.

When Orihiko saw this situation, he knew that it was useless to say more, so he stopped mentioning it. After returning to the Han Dynasty, Zhi Yanchong told the whole story, Yang Yingqi was silent, Yang Kai Yuanshen regretted that Ah Guda could not accept the Grand Duke's proposal, Cao Guangbi sighed: "The Jurchens are a shallow performance clan after all, and if they want to accept the words of the sage now, they will inevitably ask for it." ”

Di Yu, who had just returned from Pennsylvania, groaned: "It's the Central Plains, how can the words of the sage be practiced?" ”

Xiao Tienu suddenly laughed out loud, pointed at Zheyan and said, "Boss, even I am afraid of you as a hero, but you can be ridiculous when you are pedantic!" After saying that, he walked away.

Yang Pu said: "In any case, our promise of the lord of the country to 'not interfere with the Han Ministry and practice the Han system' will be of great use in the future." This sentence can be regarded as the conclusion of the previous discussion.

Yang Yingqi knew that there was no result if he continued to talk about that matter, so he changed the topic and said: "Since the Jurchens have decided to establish the country and become the emperor, most of the matters have to be borne by our Han Department. Although this is the northern Xinjiang, the ceremony of claiming the title of emperor should not be too shabby. The palace, clothes, and honor guards are still needed. ”

Yang Pu said: "This morning I saw the craftsman's house and weaving house in my village, which is enough to cope with these. As for the rules and etiquette, and the ceremonial utensils, I know a little bit about them. It's just that these things cost a lot. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Wanyan is very familiar with us, and he is used to trading with us, so he won't take our things for nothing." But we don't have to make money on it either. Half give away and half sell, which can be regarded as doing our part. ”

In order to cope with the scene of the founding ceremony, many semi-idle manpower of the Han Department was mobilized and put into the production of various utensils. Most of the hundreds of newly married daughters-in-law were incorporated into the weaving ranks, and the seven or eight hundred sappers under Yang Kaiyuan undertook the heavy task of building a palace for Aguta. Of course, whether it is the palace or the guard of honor, everything cannot be as grand as the Central Plains, it just means.

There was only one group of men and horses in the Han tribe that was not affected by this incident, and that was the eight hundred cavalry. These 800 cavalry were trained by Di Yu and Cao Guangbi in the ice and snow, and they became stronger day by day. In terms of their physical fitness, they were originally selected from thousands of soldiers, eating the food of the Han Ministry, wearing the clothes of the Han Ministry, listening to the veterans of the Han Ministry telling the history of the Han Department again and again, telling the ideal country that Zhi Yanchong and others wanted to establish. After all, they all come from the bottom of the Liao Kingdom, and they all speak the same language, the only difference is that some people come first, and some people come later. In this enthusiastic group, the cold of winter only brought them closer to each other.

Finally, the winter of this year passed.

In the fifth year of the Great Song Dynasty and the fifth year of Liao Tianqing, under the support of the Jurchen tribes, Wanyan Agu was called the emperor, and the Jurchen style was founded, and the country was called "Jin".
