Chapter 571 Moisturizing Things Silently

"The Jurchens established the Jin State in the past, and the Taizu Emperor of the Jin State was Wanyan Aguta, Wanyan Aguta was not originally the patriarch of the Jurchen clan, and the Jurchen tribe Dubo Lieji (tribal alliance leader) at that time was the elder brother of Aguta, Wu Yashu"

On the way back, Chu Bingbei talked eloquently with the young envoy and Ding Dusi. Chu Xiao is the oldest of the three, while Shao Yunfeng is a special party of the imperial court and has a special status, so the two have some competition in private. Fang Cai Xia Xun said to Shao Yunfeng that he should take a long-term view, and he said it very politely, but in fact, he criticized him for being short-sighted, and Chu Bingbei was very proud and took the opportunity to show off.

"If it goes on like this, Aguda will live in the shadow of his brother for the rest of his life, and there will be no chance to become the head of the Jurchen tribes, however, in the seventh year of Wu Yashu's rule over the Jurchens, Aguta's opportunity came, and in that year there was a rare catastrophe in the territory of the Jurchens, and many people had no food to eat and were forced to become robbers.

When the robbers were caught, Uyashu was going to put them to death, but Aguta objected, saying that these people were just ordinary people who had to become robbers because of their livelihood, so they should be pardoned and punished to pay three times the tax to atone for their sins. Wu Yashu agreed, and the lives of these people were saved, and they were all grateful to Ah Guta. But because they can't survive, they are forced to become thieves, so how can they have the money to pay taxes? ”

Chu Bingbei twisted his beard, glanced proudly at the young imperial envoy of the junior generation and Ding Dusi, who belonged to the military generals, and continued: "So, in front of the patriarchs of the Jurchen tribes, Ah Guda suggested again: 'The poor cannot live on their own, so sell their wives to pay off their debts. The love of flesh and blood is the same in all hearts. Don't levie for three years from now on, and Xu Tuzhi for three years.'"

This request for tax exemption for three years was agreed to by the chiefs of the tribes, and after obtaining the consent of the chiefs of the tribes, Aguta rushed to the tribe before they could announce it, and announced the matter to all the tribesmen.

Although he is not all fierce, nor is he the head of a specific tribe, how can ordinary people understand this? All they know is that it was Akuta who announced this order, and their taxes were reduced, and Aguta not only gained popularity but also established his authority as the true leader of the Jurchens, laying the foundation for him to eventually become Du Bo Lig. Lord Ministry's move today, don't you think it's the same as Ah Guda's actions? ”

The young envoy and Ding Dusi nodded again and again by him, Xia Xun didn't know this allusion, so when Chu Bingbei talked about ancient times, he didn't interject, and listened carefully on the side, but when Chu Bingbei finished speaking, Xia Xun smiled, he slowed down his horse, and said to Chu Bingbei: "Haha, Lord Chu, I am not a Jurchen clan, it is impossible to use this method to become their capital, but it is not bad to win the hearts of the people, establish authority and popularity." ”

Xia Xun looked at the endless wilderness and rolling mountains, and muttered: "The difficulty of Liaodong is not that there is no one, but that there are no people, but that there are no people, who can't be retained?" Whether it is the Jurchens or the Mongols, they have lived in such an environment for generations, and there will be no strange ideas, and it is our Han people who are difficult to keep.

The Central Plains has its own prosperous and rich land, who wants to come here? This place has always been regarded as a place of exile for prisoners, and the small population has led to poverty and backwardness here, and there are few Han people, resulting in our Ming Dynasty never being able to really take root in Liaodong and forming effective control over the ethnic groups in Liaodong. In this situation, it is impossible to rely only on the imperial court to force immigrants to the real side, don't you see the dismal end of the real border immigration of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

Even the officers and soldiers of Tuntian had to try their best to escape with their families, preferring to go back to the Central Plains to ask for food rather than settle in Liaodong, wouldn't the immigrants find a way to leave again? If we want our people to be willing to come, we have to make this place rich, and let this place be full of opportunities to make a fortune Therefore, the imperial court should only play the role of a "pusher" in it, and once it is profitable, there are people rushing to come.

You see, not long after the imperial court was shipped, the desolate Golden State was spontaneously built into a prosperous land by the people, this is a successful example, if we create more similar places, it will bring prosperity, bring population, the place is rich, the population increases, it will lead to the rise of hundreds of industries, in this game of chess, the first and most critical step, is to make this seemingly barren territory, profitable"

"There are more opportunities to make a fortune here, and the Han people in Liaodong are willing to settle here with peace of mind, instead of digging doors and stealing holes to move back to Guannai, and some people who are not satisfied in Guannai will want to break into Guandong and seize this opportunity to make a fortune. In this way, we have put down roots. Then, what should be done with these tribes?

The ancients said that if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different, so what should I do? You are always on the guard, on the lookout, and at a distance from them, and of course he will never be with you, and if you have the chance, he will become your enemy

As far as I know, when Jin Xuanzong consulted the imperial court classics, nearly two million Jurchens moved inwards to the Central Plains, covering Beiping, Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi provinces, and the south of the Yellow River and the north of the Huai River were the most concentrated Jurchen settlements. After they moved to the Central Plains, they lived in mixed places with the Han people, learned Chinese, wore Han clothes, changed their Han surnames, and lived in Han lands.

Nowadays, in these places, Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng Wang, in fact, many people were originally Jurchens, poor people, small surnames and small clans have no genealogy, and even they themselves don't know that their ancestors are actually Jurchens, this is assimilation If the Han people are willing to come to Liaodong and are willing to live in Liaodong, by living together with them, and getting along with each other in all walks of life, after one or two hundred years, who is the Han Chinese, who is the Jurchens, and who is the Mongols? ”

Xia Xun smiled and said, "Do you understand the good intentions of this governor? ”

Xia Xun's preaching, in fact, contains the knowledge of many disciplines, although these officials who are familiar with the four books and five classics are knowledgeable, but have never thought about these issues from these angles, now Xia Xun said from the shallow to the deep, the more people taste, the more unfathomable, I can't help but respect Xia Xun: "No wonder people are young, they can be named dukes because of their merits, and they have repeatedly inherited the heavy responsibilities of the emperor, and they are really very human."

Their immediate response to those ethnic groups that pose a potential threat to their own nation is to suppress, isolate, check and balance, and guard against them, but they have never thought of comprehensive assimilation from the benefit of the people. And their approach has been proven bankrupt by history.

That's what Han Tang did, and eventually went bankrupt. The Liao State did the same to the Jurchens, and from the time of the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State, she deliberately used the means of paying tribute to Haidongqing and Beizhu to instigate the Jurchen tribes to kill each other in order to grab the tribute resources; Originally, the Ming Dynasty in history still did this, dividing the feuds, instigating, checking and balancing, and suppressing ......

The result? The Jurchens are not idiots, how can they not understand your intentions, but under power, they cannot disobey such a fate. But the more difficult the environment, the stronger they became, the stronger they became, and the stronger they became, and eventually, when they were strong enough, the accumulated feud erupted, which in turn devoured the smug ruler.

Liao died here, Jin died here, Meng died here, and Ming also died here. Xia Xun hated the crazy killing of ordinary people after the Later Jin invaded the Central Plains, and hated their backward culture that dragged down the progress of the entire Chinese nation, but for the rebellion of the Jurchens and the "seven hatreds" of Nurhachi, didn't the Ming Empire have a little mistake in its own national policy? Li Zicheng lost his job as a postman, and he ran to rebel and made it righteous, what about others?

Jin anti-Liao, Mongolia anti-Jin, Ming anti-Mongolia, post-Jin anti-Ming, which time was a congenital saint suddenly appeared, shouting "We want the nation to rise", so the people who lived a good life picked up their swords and guns and followed him to rebel? From the initial disregard and oppression, to the constant exclusion, checks and balances, and instigation of internal contradictions, the cause of this outbreak has long been buried.

So Xia Xun came up with a completely different way to eliminate potential enemies from the outside: assimilate them. If Xia Xun chooses to strike by force, perhaps thousands of years later, he will also be a hero in the annals of history and a wolf Juxu, and he will be praised repeatedly, and the method he is using now seems to have no sword and sword, but this road is more difficult to walk, and it is difficult to leave his name behind him.

The effect of this silent method of moisturizing things will not be apparent until much later, and who will remember him then.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade, and those who enjoyed the shade only knew the shade of the trees, who knew the tree planters?

Tatar steppe, Zhelian River.

The drums roared, and the hooves sounded sharply. Sharp arrows pierce the clouds, and people surge.

The iron cavalry of the Ming army and the Tatar iron cavalry of the combined army charged and fought head-on without giving way to each other, in the pure cavalry shooting, the nomads had an innate advantage, but this complete cavalry battle, the Ming army fought vigorously, and did not fall behind at all, which shows the strength of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in the early Ming Dynasty, of course, this is also indispensable to the credit of the Shenji battalion before the head-on decisive charge.

The artillery and guns of the Shenji battalion not only dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the Tatar cavalry, but also seriously damaged the charging formation of the Tatar cavalry. The Tatar army usually rushes out with light or heavy cavalry, opens the way with spears and sharp arrows, charges with fast horses, and forcibly breaks through the enemy formation.

However, the power of the artillery of the Ming army is amazing, a cannon out, hundreds of projectiles splashed everywhere, the lethality is amazing, and the range is long, each cannon is equivalent to a large group of long-range archers, the fire gun also seized the opportunity, using the gap between the artillery launches, to do a dense fire set, such a powerful firepower, completely disintegrated the Tatar army's cavalry superiority.

The men and horses of both sides of the enemy and the enemy were like a tide, layer on top of each other, whistling and pounced, strangled into a ball, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the horses' hooves trampled on them. Everyone did the same thing, carrying their horses, rushing forward, swinging their swords, slashing, exchanging blades, killing sounds, and people falling off their horses, but no one cared about them, only the endless killing.

In the extreme distance, the infantry and chariots of the Ming army were covering more than 10,000 prisoners and more than 100,000 livestock that were wrapped in the middle by them, and they were advancing rapidly along the Liao River in the direction of Kaiyuan, and the terrain of retreat was very favorable to them.

Behind them, the cavalry in charge of covering fought and retreated, and the bloody warriors kept falling, and the retreating formation seemed to be somewhat loose, but when they retreated to the shallow valley formed by the river and a low mountain, suddenly a cannon fire joined the battle group, and another cavalry came out from behind the low hill and stabbed diagonally into the left flank of the Tatar army.

This cavalry only had more than 3,000 people, but they were all good at riding and shooting, and all of them were brave, especially at the critical moment when the Tatar army, which was also exhausted, thought that it could break through the Ming army's defense line and make the Ming army completely defeated, which dealt a heavy blow to the Tatar cavalry, and the Tatar cavalry's offensive suddenly slowed down, and the pursuit formation was also chaotic.

The men and horses killed in the oblique stab are the cavalry of 30,000 guards, the soldiers of the department are mainly Jurchens, they fight with the Tatars, it is the enemy who sees each other, is extraordinarily red-eyed, one by one desperately rushed into the enemy formation, the morale of the Tatar soldiers and horses suddenly dropped to the extreme, the formation was loose, the dilemma, the command was chaotic, people kept falling, blood was splashed, and corpses were all over the field.

Suddenly, even the standard-bearer was shot down, and the surrounding soldiers were fighting with the 30,000 guards who rushed in front of them, and there was no time to dismount and erect the banner, and the soldiers in the distance did not know if the commander had already died in battle, and for a time they were all in chaos, and the slowly advancing formation turned into a scattered retreat of their own battles.

The general of this Tatar army who rushed to pursue after hearing the news was the Tatar Upper Ten Thousand Households Prefecture of Tuchijin Tuha, he rode on a horse, coldly watching his men and horses gradually turn from attack to rout, his face was gloomy and terrible, in his jurisdiction, a whole tribe, a large tribe of more than 20,000 people was taken by the whole child, can the Taishi spare him?

The more he thought about it, the colder his heart became, but with his rich experience in battle formations, he knew very well that once a real rout was formed, no one could immediately straighten out the team on the battlefield and reverse the decline. Unless he still has a new force in his hand that has not been put into battle, or he has a handsome banner to knock down the enemy at the right time, or he has a big throat like thunder, and the roar can be heard by the soldiers on the battlefield for miles.

But he couldn't do all this, so he could only watch the defeat fall like a mountain, and no one could afford to support a mountain.

"Daru Huachi, Daru Huachi-sama"

A bloodied general's armor galloped diagonally in front of him, this man couldn't do it without a slanted armor, the leather armor on his body was split by someone with a stab, and the clothes inside were also cut, fortunately his body was not injured, and most of the blood on his body was shallow to him.

"Daru Huachi-sama"

The man called the official name of Chijin Tuha, and hurriedly said: "Our army's defeat has appeared, if the Ming army kills all the way out of the ambush, our losses will be too great, now we are getting closer and closer to the Ming Guard, the Ming army is likely to have ambushes to respond, my lord, or order to collect the troops."

A gloomy spark flashed in his eyes, and he spoke coldly: "Brother Meng, Timur, you dare to deliberately indulge the Ming army under the nose of your own official."

P: Brother Meng? I didn't sleep all night yesterday.,Now it's more than eight thousand seven.,Brother is a macho man ^_^.,About Brother Timur.,Guess who he is.,There are pot friends who can't guess and go to the book review area.,Someone must know and send out a drop ^_^.,Oh almost forgot about the business.,Ask for a monthly pass.、Ask for a recommendation ticket.
