Section 238 Sweep North 2
The Jin State was a slave country composed of almost primitive savage tribes.
The large and small tribes led by the Wanyan tribe when they rebelled at the beginning and the tribes that were later recruited to live with the Liao people all belonged to the mature Jurchen, and the degree of civilization and civilization was better, at least there were written books to say, I knew what culture was, and almost all the generals in the Jin army who were commanders or single-handedly generalized were from these tribes. The other Jurchen tribes in the more northern and remote areas belong to the Jurchens, who are actually savages who live in the white mountains and black waters, live by fishing and hunting, and simply plunder nature, without even saying that they are farming. They don't even know how to grow vegetables in the simplest way, they don't have this awareness, the vegetables are collected wild, and they still rely on natural supplies, and they eat whatever God gives, and they eat as much as they want.
There is a saying: because of barbarism, so strong.
There is also a saying: where there is oppression, there is resistance.
Catch a break.
The miserable Jurchen people relied on the barbaric strength to resist the Liao miraculously and victoriously founded the country, invincible, and feared the Liao State, turned over and became the master, and this life is better.
Because of the looting of a large amount of food and money from the Liao State or the nearby Zahu tribes who did not know the times and refused to be loyal to the Jurchens for survival, and because of the captivity of a large number of Khitans or miscellaneous Hu as slaves, the Jurchens in the Jin Kingdom who had a little ability and a little military exploits had slaves to drive and collapse, and they had the money, food and materials to enjoy. Usually he arrogantly and ferociously watched the slaves work and desperately enjoyed a life that they could not even think of before.
Only the most incompetent Jurchens who could not fight for the country were still slaves, and they still had to continue to work hard to survive on their own, but their national status was higher than that of other slaves.
In other words, the Jurchens have completely become a bandit race, who used to blindly plunder and destroy nature, and now they blindly plunder and destroy other human races.
The Jin State is a simple bandit country, focusing on burning and looting everywhere to survive, which is somewhat similar to the pirate country founded by Zhao Yue.
A bandit country, a pirate country, the style is similar, but the essence is absolutely different.
Conditionally, instead of trying to speed up the evolution of civilization, the Jin State was transformed into a killing and robbing machine as a whole, not paying attention to its own production, attaching importance to craftsmen and manufacturing, but despising science and technology more than the Han Confucian rulers, and only treating craftsmen as useful slaves and blindly driving and trampling on them. No matter how skilled you are, no matter how innovative you are, you are just a lowly and shameful person with no combat effectiveness, and you are only worthy of working as a slave. The craftsmen lived a hard and miserable life, not to mention in hell, and were killed at every turn to show the brutality of the Jurchen warriors and the strength and horror of the Dajin Kingdom. Deterring craftsmen and slaves from desperately working docile and hardworking, tired and tortured to death, not to mention that the Kim Congress pays attention to cultivating talents and developing scientific and technological research.
That is to say, what the Jurchens inherited and carried forward was still the barbaric primitive and simple plunder and destruction of human instinct, but it was upgraded from a barbarian race to a barbarian state.
Ladies and gentlemen, please think about it, five hundred years later, the Qing Dynasty, which was also established by the Jurchens, did not know the decisive role of science and technology in the rise and fall of the country, and those who blindly advocated it also vigorously fooled the people and curbed the development of science and technology, not to mention the truly ignorant and ignorant savage Jurchens in this era.
The birth of the Kingdom of Jin is dedicated to slaughtering and destroying the world, and everything revolves around this theme, if it has the ability to destroy the world at all.
Such a country and nation are the common enemies of mankind, and it is impossible to have long-term vitality, and with the development of the times, they will inevitably be abandoned by civilization and go to extinction or even extinction.
And the pirate country is not a robber who destroys wherever the Jin army fights, does not burn houses, destroys crops and destroys cities, does not wantonly destroy the material civilization that the locals have worked hard to establish, and the wealth plundered is not used to squander pleasure like the Jurchens, but is used to set up schools, hospitals, and factories........ It is used to support the nutritional supply of children and receive free education, and to extract more young people who do not have to rush to meet the material needs of the country, so that they can have the opportunity to receive practical knowledge and skills training with peace of mind, and form a larger team of technicians. At the same time, we should be kind to the technical talents of different races who have been plundered, and give them the opportunity to exert their abilities and make a living with technology. Attach great importance to the excavation and aggregation of all the skills of the alien association, whether it is in production or life, even if it is just a unique pickling technique of the alien race, absorb the essence to form the skills, knowledge and experience of the country, and set up school training courses and other widely taught to the people and carried forward. This is also conducive to cultivating a larger, richer and more solid talent echelon. It also attaches great importance to its own production self-sufficiency and improvement. In short, every effort will be made to ensure the sustainable and rapid development of the country and the nation.
As a powerful country of the same era, two completely different concepts of governance and survival consciousness are destined to make one stronger, and the other will only be rampant and vicious for a while.
When the Jin Kingdom has exhausted the brave and warlike and fearless death formed by hundreds of years of accumulation of misery and hardship, and has become a barbaric and ignorant but corrupt and incompetent race, then the retribution for destroying human progress will come, and it will quickly perish without the deliberate fight of the pirate state.
Historically, the Jin Kingdom perished in this way, and after only one hundred and eighty years of existence, it was cried out by the Mongols and gently pushed it, and it fell like the Northern Song Dynasty destroyed by the Jurchens.
It's just that a generation of heroes is just an indigenous barbarian, and it is impossible to know the historical fate of the Jin Kingdom. The ignorant but arrogant, self-confident Jurchens did not know that the establishment of the state by the northern barbarian nation was always up and down, and did not know that the rapid rise would inevitably lead to more rapid corruption and decay, from the peak of glory to the point of misery, and again to misery.
A barbarian is a barbarian, ignorant and ignorant, without a long-term vision, and will not change its essence because a generation of elites gushes out and shocks the world.
The arrogant Jurchen didn't know that the pirate country was quietly staring at them, they didn't know that they were just the butcher's knife and chess piece of the pirate country to change the East and change Asia, and they didn't know that they had no bones in the fight, and the Liao State, which showed weakness and recognized the Jin regime and was in fact begging them to stop their troops and live in peace and friendship, dared to take the initiative to provoke a war and dared to brazenly invade the Jin State to invade them.
The primitive tribal system, the Jin State must gather troops to attack together in wartime, and what should the tribe do when the troops are each their own.
Sadly, the Jin Kingdom as a whole is mainly composed of many small Jurchen tribes, the tribes are widely scattered, most of the tribes are sparsely populated, and it is very common for a tribe to have only one hundred and eighty men, women and children, or even only a few dozen people, which is not unusual in the Jin country.
This situation was so when the Liao people were ferocious and fanatical about playing Jurchen, and it was convenient for the tribe to escape and hide, which was caused by the Liao people's brutal massacre to weaken and dismantle the Jurchen large tribe population, and it was also formed by the Jurchen's practical survival needs at that time. After the establishment of the Jin State, this situation remained the same, and it did not change much. It's the old place of getting used to. Accustomed to being the boss himself, the leaders of the small tribes are unwilling to integrate with other tribes, lose their leadership positions, and listen to the support of others.
This was sad when the docile Liao army suddenly counterattacked into the Jin Kingdom.
The Jurchens are brave and shocking the world, but they are invincible.
The small tribes scattered all over the country faced the Liao army lurking in and raiding with a thousand people, how could the tribe resist the Liao army that was bent on revenge?
can only be stunned and arrogantly shouted, "You still dare to come to the door to bully us, my Wanyan King will definitely teach you Liao thieves a hard lesson", threatening the Liao army to be afraid and take the initiative to retreat but to no avail, so it became a hasty resistance, and was surprised to find that he was not the previous one person who gathered troops to attack Liao, but he was not the Liao army dozens or hundreds of people who were so brave, confidently screaming like a beast on the battlefield before, intimidating the Liao army to charge bravely, even if he could kill several Liao troops, he would be easily killed by random knives, guns and arrows. So the men, women, and children of the tribe could only abandon everything and run away, and they became the kind of miserable objects that were the prey in the game of "fighting the Jurchens".
Only this time they fled into the mountains to hide, and it was not very reliable.
The Liao army, which had been bullied by the Jin army for a long time, no longer had the arrogance of the past and refused to drill the mountains to endure hardships, this time they were not afraid of tiredness, they were not afraid of trouble, they were not afraid of revenge, they were to kill the Jurchens to find back the invincible demeanor of the former Great Khitan warriors and the dignity of the Great Liao Kingdom, and they were not afraid of wasting time without property and harvest......
The Liao army's thousand-man team avoided such a strong place as the Wanyan tribe, specifically looking for weak and small starters, and attacked flexibly under the leadership and command of strong generals, according to the different target forces, the thousand-man team even turned into a hundred-person team to quickly attack the nearby Jurchen small tribes that were too weak, but they still had no opponents with many outnumbered people, and they wantonly committed murder everywhere, killing people when they saw them, cutting them when they met people, and they did not let go of the men, women, and children of the Jin country they met, and they desperately burned and looted everywhere, and if they could, they all robbed them, and if they couldn't, they all destroyed the crops or the house pots, and desperately destroyed everything. The Liao army is also good at this, after all, they have been doing this for many years to the common people of northern Song and the Zahu who refuse to give in.
The war went smoothly, seeing the weakness and timidity of the Jurchens again, and the harvest was abundant, the Liao army, from the generals to the soldiers, became more and more confident, and the eyes were red, and the heart was crazy......
Killing, robbing, and burning, the Jurchens are not our opponents at all. Kill all the Jurchens, exterminate their clans, and see how arrogant the Jin Kingdom, which has few people, is still arrogant.
kill
This naturally became the slogan and mentality of the Liao army.
The Liao State suddenly raided all parts of the Jin State with nearly a million troops, and crushed the past with an absolute superiority in troops, which really caught the Jin State, which was immersed in arrogance and arrogance, off guard, and also beat the circle.
In the face of the Liao army that rose up bravely and ravaged all over the country, Wanyan Aguta and other high-level Jin army leaders were mad and furious, but there was really no good way to deal with it for a while.
For a while, there was a strong sense of shame and helplessness when he was wantonly slaughtered and oppressed by the Liao State as a prey.
In history, there was a real big Song Dynasty in the south of the Liao State with a terrifying population and unprecedented national strength, and it was always worried that Song Zhen would join forces with Jin to attack the Great Liao, so he had to deploy heavy troops to guard the southern border to prevent the Song State from killing, and a large number of troops, material resources, financial resources, and energy were restrained, and at the same time, he had to guard against the jackal-minded and faithless Xixia Xiaoqiang from time to time to show his fangs and rob the population and wealth of the western part of the Liao State to rob the fire, and it was impossible to draw Yanyun's main forces, let alone concentrate the country's forces and advantages to clean up the Jurchens. In the historical fight against the Jin State, except for the beginning stage when the arrogance was still there, the Liao State has been in the embarrassment of being beaten everywhere in passive defense for the rest of the period.
The more anxious the Liao State was to extinguish the Jin State and strive for the initiative, and gathered the army again and again to seek victory in the decisive battle in the resistance, the more it was defeated, and the defeat was so bad that it had no confidence and no courage to take the initiative to attack. It is not that the Liao State has not considered dividing its troops into the Jin State to play guerrilla warfare, and to sabotage the Jin State and severely damage the population foundation and arrogance of the Jin State, but it is really unable to draw superior forces.
On the contrary, the Jin State will win every battle, the more confident it is and the weakness of the Liao army is found, the more it will fight, and the more it will fight, always gather troops to attack the Liao army's long border defense line flexibly, and the Liao national defense is overwhelmed, and the passive panic is busy fighting fires everywhere, suffering heavy losses, anxious, and exhausted, the Liao army is losing more and more confidence and courage, forcing the upper echelons of the Liao State to want to seek peace, the Liao Emperor and the pig-headed nobles only hope that the Jin army has grabbed enough and don't fight again, and is willing to recognize the small and pay tribute to the Jin State for peace with a volume that is not many times larger than the Jin State. How dare you take the initiative to provoke and cause war. The Jin State firmly contained the forces of the Liao State, and played well to replace defense with offense, and there was no need to defend at all.
But this time it's different.
In the face of the overwhelming scourge of the Liao army, the upper echelons of the Jin State could not understand how the Liao State dared to dispatch Yan Yun's main force to attack the Jin State.
After all, although the Jin State was aggressive and repeatedly invaded the Liao State, it was still a small country that had just been established, and it could not even compare with the Goryeo State, and it was far less than the Song State to Liao. Logically speaking, the Liao State should not make it the primary goal to deal with the Jin State with all its might. It should focus on guarding against the Song Kingdom.
In particular, I heard that there was a hard-line scholar in the Song State, Zhao Gonglian, who was not only bold and daring, but also had amazing talent and hated and despised the Liao State, and had already publicly threatened to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun and the entire northern part of the Song State to defend against natural dangers, even if he dared and had the strength to counter the invasion of the Liao State. Only such a big threat is enough for Liao to guard against it with heavy troops, how can Liao dare to draw troops to fight Jin regardless of it? Could it be that Song and Liao were close and friendly again, and an agreement was made in private to discuss, and Liao could let go and deal with Jin State?
The poor Jurchen didn't know, and in desperation, he could only hurry up and send the main forces of the Jurchen tribes such as Wanyan to fight the fire, and ordered the tribes to assemble in the big tribes and even the capital of the Jin Kingdom to fight the war.
