Jin Guo was unlucky after Orihiko escaped, and even shrewd people like Zonggan and Zongfu often did things that later generations thought were stupid.

If we look at this problem from a mysterious view of history, we can draw a simple conclusion: the national fortunes of the Jin country are going downhill!

However, if we want to analyze it in a rational way, then these events also have reasonable reasons. For example, the occurrence of the Great Purge incident is that the Jurchens have always treated foreign races with their usual attitude towards foreign races - those who obey will reward those who disobey and punish those who are disobedient, and they would rather kill their mistakes than let them go - to deal with this matter, it can be said that Zong Han and others deepened their suspicion of foreign races after Han Fang's betrayal It is almost inevitable, but the seriousness of this matter is different from what they expected. Later generations can of course use the results of the matter to say that Zong Han and others did not do it wisely, but people in the historical environment at that time, no matter how smart they are, cannot see it comprehensively and clearly like later generations.

Whether it was Wu Qimai, Zonggan, Zongwang, or Zongfu, although they appeared shrewd and capable in the struggle against Liao and Song, and they also accumulated a lot of experience and means of struggle, but now these experiences and methods have become a kind of shackles, because the enemy they face has changed.

The Han was neither the Liao that became weak after the civilization of the Hu people, nor the Song Dynasty, which gathered the various weaknesses of civilized countries. At present, the Han Dynasty is a regime that combines Hu and Wuhan with a fairly appropriate combination, a regime full of enterprising vigor and aggressive spirit, and with such a regime as the foundation, coupled with the relatively broad vision of the principals such as Yang Yingqi and others, the power of this regime is very terrifying.

In September 1680, when the autumn wind was high and the weeds were growing, just when the Jin army was about to move, Yang Yingqi did something that everyone expected: he drafted a recital on behalf of Zhe Yan Chong, and publicly submitted a letter to Wu Qimai in the name of Zhe Yan Chong's Han Division.

In this recital, Yang Yingqi severely reprimanded Zonggan and other rulers for misleading the country and the people, and he urged Wu Qimai to order all administrative affairs in Dajin to be handed over to Zhe Yanchong, who was good at government affairs and had great prestige, so that the nobles and Jurchen generals would manage the army and not the people, and the new ruling group led by Zhe Yanchong would govern the Jin State well, and at the same time ensure that the Jurchen soldiers would have food and clothing.

At the same time as Yang Yingqi uploaded this recital, he also spread the news to all the states and counties in Dajin in the form of a newspaper, and even asked storytellers and businessmen to spread the news everywhere! Therefore, this recital undoubtedly caused an earthquake in the already tense land of the Northeast!

Yang Yingqi's blatant move caused a sensation in the government and the opposition in Jinguo, and at the same time, it also made Wu Qimai jump in anger! But that's just the beginning!

Just when Wu Qimai didn't have time to order the punishment of Yang Yingqi, Xiao Qilin's second recital arrived, and the second recital continued to reprimand the Jurchen capitals in the Liaohe River Valley, Linhuang Mansion and other places over the years for using force and reprimanding them for not knowing how to govern the country. Yang Yingqi listed a lot of data in the recital to prove that the agricultural tax and commercial tax in the Jin State were too high, and asked Wu Qimai to order the agricultural tax in the whole Jin to be reduced to the same level as that in southern Liaoning, and at the same time demanded the opening of trade routes, abolishing the status quo of setting up cards and collecting taxes at bridges in the Jin Kingdom, and establishing a trade route and commercial tax mechanism modeled on southern Liaoning.

It is very obvious that this recital is completely to curry favor with all the lower-class people in the Jin Kingdom, especially the merchants and peasants, and for this reason, Yang Yingqi is not afraid to fundamentally offend the interests of the entire upper class of the Jin Kingdom. The title of this letter is the Recital Table, and in fact it is simply a piece of writing. Therefore, Yang Yingqi never thought that Wu Qimai would adopt the suggestion of this recital, but focused on how to let more people understand the content of this recital.

The forces of public opinion controlled and influenced by the Han Ministry were mobilized in full force, from businessmen and storytellers to secret children, and even some grassroots cadres who had expectations for the Han Ministry, such as village chiefs and clan elders, became active disseminators of the contents of this recital. Under the dominance of the administrative forces, even word of mouth can spread the news far and wide. As a result, before this recital reached Huining, the peasants in the entire Liao River valley received the news: the general is going to reduce our taxes! How much less? Five times off!

It's worth it! The Liaohe River Valley, which already has millions of Hanmin villages, became a sensation after hearing the news! At the beginning, in order to punish Zhe Yanchong, the Jin regime also suffered along with all the Han people in the territory, and the tax collection reached more than 50%! Therefore, in the past few years, the Han people in the territory of Jinguo have had a very difficult time! Now, as soon as the general returned to southern Liaoning, he immediately returned to his tough attitude and wanted to reduce the tax to one-tenth!

"The general is worthy of being a general, and he is really the master of the people!"

"yes, it looks like our hard days are finally over!"

"However, the general is only in charge of Liaokou, can he manage the affairs on our side?"

This fear soon proved to be justified, and Huining severely rebuked Orihiko Chong and ordered the local officials to collect taxes according to the original fixed amount.

Farmers and businessmen had just received a glimmer of hope, and then they had fallen deeper into disappointment. But not long after their disappointment, Yang Yingqi spread the word to the entire territory of the Jin Kingdom and issued the "Tax Resistance Order", calling on farmers and merchants to resist taxes. The "Tax Resistance Order" said that if the Jurchen government required them to pay more than 15 percent of the tax, then this tax was a harsh tax, and the peasants could not pay it! If the officials dare to persecute, they will have their own generals in charge!

In recent years, the Han people who have flowed into the territory of Dajin have basically lived according to their clans. Because they were borrowed from the Han Department when they entered the Jin Kingdom, most of these Han people were influenced by the Han culture, and the Han Department even had a special organization to train the village chiefs in the Liao River Valley, so that these Han villages had quite good organizational power. What's more, Yang Yingqi didn't just send out a piece of paper! At the same time as the promulgation of the "Tax Resistance Order", the chess pieces of the Han Ministry ambushed in the Liao River Valley also quickly took action, encouraging all Han villages and northern tribes to support the general!

Therefore, as soon as the "Tax Resistance Order" was promulgated, the entire Han villages in the Liaohe River Valley collectively responded and showed the local government that they would not pay more than 1/5 percent of the tax! Even some northern tribes have joined the ranks of the anti-tax - the general has cut taxes for everyone! This kind of thing who is not positive!

Local officials in the Liao River Valley, especially in the south, had no choice but to ask the nearby defenders to suppress it! But before they acted, Yang Yingqi's second inscription arrived, but this inscription was "Stop Violence Order", the inscription said: The meaning of the existence of the army is to protect the country and the people, if the army harasses innocent people, it is not a soldier but a thief, and the soldier will dare to kill the people, it is a rebellious minister and thief, and everyone will be punished!

Echoing this inscription, it was the army of the Han Department that drove outside the city of Liaokou. Yang Yingqi ordered the entire territory of Dajin: If any general dares to set up troops to kill the citizens who resist taxes, the Han Ministry will carry out the responsibility of collecting on behalf of the heavens, whether the other party is a relative of the emperor or a founding hero, he will not be merciful!

"It's finally time to do it!"

At this time, the monarchs and ministers of Huining felt not anger, but fear! Zong Fu's 30,000 troops had already entered Tun Jinzhou, and Zong Pan's 50,000 troops had also set out from Huanglong Mansion to reinforce Liaoyang Mansion.

However, at this time, Yang Yingqi made a third recital, asking Wu Qimai to convene a meeting to re-elect a new ruling group and establish a civil administration system that is suitable for the current development of Dajin. In addition to openly showing Zhi Yanchong's ambitions, Yang Yingqi's last recital was also to curry favor with the civil officials of the Jin State, because in the administrative system he described, the civil officials would have a higher status—at least to live with more dignity than under a barbaric regime!

Wu Qimai finally couldn't bear his anger, and in October 1680, the Huining government publicly reprimanded Yan Chong and Yang Yingqi for rebellion, and announced that they would send a large army to fight against them.

At the same time, Yang Yingqi promulgated the "Same Decree" in Liaokou, announcing that all ethnic groups in the northern country should be equal and one, Wanyan and Jurchen tribes, Jurchen and Bohai, Khitan, Goryeo, etc., the state selects talents but on meritorious ability, regardless of race! Since the Hoeryeong regime violated this principle by invading the public for private purposes, the Hoeryeong regime no longer had a legal status!

Large-scale wars accumulate over many years, but their outbreak is often ignited by chance. In the past year, although both sides have been actively preparing for war, because both sides know that this war will be a great change to wipe out the country and the nation, so both sides have maintained great restraint on the edge of war. Even if Huining declared the Han tribe a rebel and Jinmen declared Huining illegal, neither side broke through that last line of defense for a period of time.

However, just half a month after the promulgation of the "same order", thirteen riots suddenly broke out in Tongzhou, Yeongju, Anzhou, Liaobin, Shenzhou, Yinzhou, and Guide Prefecture in Tokyo Province. Unlike the anti-tax actions in the southern part of the Liaohe River Valley, these riots all took place north of Liaoyang Prefecture, and most of the riots were initiated by non-Han and non-Jurchen Khitan and Xi people. Although many of the tribes here are pro-Han, the outbreak of these thirteen riots was not planned by the Han tribe. At the same time, a large number of Bohai people also successively announced that their origins were originally from the Han and called themselves Han from then on!

The root cause of these thirteen uprisings was the political struggle between the two sides, and their outburst in turn led to a formal break between the two sides.

These unexpected riots greatly slowed down the march of Zong Pan's army, and after the army he led crossed Yinzhou, it was harassed in almost every city it passed—it was not a domestic march, but a foreign march!

In the winter of 1680, Zhe Yanchong's army held the banner of "Anmin" and drove to Anpo with a sword. Here, there is a tomb facing south, where Wanyanhu's elder brother Zongxiong is buried. Orihiko rushed off his horse to untie his armor, put incense in front of the grave, and then led the army into Liaoyang Mansion.

Zong Jun closed the city to wait for help, but was assassinated by his Khitan lieutenant that night, took his head and opened the south gate to surrender. The Han army rushed into the city, and 40,000 of the 50,000 troops in the city were Khitan, Bohai, and Han'er men and horses. Orihiko Chong was both rigid and soft, and it didn't take long to control the surrendering army.

This Liaoyang Mansion City was originally the place where Zheyan rushed to guard, the old department, the bureaucracy was very many, the local fathers heard Zheyan rushed into the city all raised their hands to celebrate, so this time the Han soldiers and horses entered the city, it was not like a war but like a peaceful handover, and the market returned to normal on the second day.

After Liaoyang Prefecture stabilized, Zheyanchong deployed troops and sent generals to pass through Luorongzhou, Anzhou, Liaobin, Shenzhou, Yinzhou, Guide and other prefectures and counties. Three days later, Yang Yingqi and Aruban arrived at the same time, and Zhiyan Chong ordered Aruban's 20,000 reinforcements to be the vanguard, and the main army of the above twelve villages was 20,000 people, Liaoyang Prefecture surrendered 20,000 troops, and 20,000 recruits to enter Tongzhou. Yang Yingqi was in charge of pacifying the Liao region and logistical supplies in the rear.

The Han army was mighty, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and Zong Pan retreated without a fight and retreated to Huanglong Mansion. Orihiko rushed to Shinshu, and the two armies entered a stalemate phase.

The Han army set out from Liaokou to change hands throughout the Liao River valley in less than a month. Since the population of the Han people in the Liaohe River valley has exceeded 40 percent, and if we add the population of Bohai and other people, who have already called themselves Han Chinese, it will exceed 70 percent, so the whole region quickly settled down after the change of banners. As for the civilian officials of the Jin State who remained in this area, they changed their minds faster than the army, and after Yang Yingqi and Yang Pu underwent a unified adjustment, the entire administrative system was back on track.

Zhao Lumin and other merchants were surprised to find that their interests in the north had not had time to be fired, and peace was restored to the land again. After the arrival of the Han army, the reduction and exemption of agricultural taxes and commercial taxes in the entire Liaohe River valley was also smoothly implemented. Farmers and merchants did not change much in their daily lives, except that taxes were lighter and trade routes were opener.

The war in the Liao River valley suddenly broke out and ended suddenly. The progress of the Han army's situation seems surprisingly smooth up to this moment!

There are a lot of things going on in the past two days, so there is no regularity in the update. And Ah Bo will be busier in the next week, so he has to temporarily slow down the update speed, one session a day. When this period is over (about a week), I will resume the speed of two knots a day, I hope you can understand.
